This prophecy is suitable to all, as the scope is to reprove for sin, and threaten God's judgments against the impenitent, and to encourage those that feared God, with assurances of the mercy God had in store for his church, and especially of the coming of the Messiah, and the setting up his kingdom in the world.
An exhortation to repentance. (1-6) A vision of the ministry of angels. (7-17) The security of the Jews and the destruction of their enemies. (18-21)
Verses 1-6 God's almighty power and sovereign dominion, should engage and encourage sinners to repent and turn to Him. It is very desirable to have the Lord of hosts for our friend, and very dreadful to have him for our enemy. Review what is past, and observe the message God sent by his servants, the prophets, to your fathers. Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings. Be persuaded to leave your sins, as the only way to prevent approaching ruin. What is become of our fathers, and of the prophets that preached to them? They are all dead and gone. Here they were, in the towns and countries where we live, passing and repassing in the same streets, dwelling in the same houses, trading in the same shops and exchanges, worshipping God in the same places. But where are they? When they died, there was not an end of them; they are in eternity, in the world of spirits, the unchangeable world to which we hasten apace. Where are they? Those of them who lived and died in sin, are in torment. Those who lived and died in Christ, are in heaven; and if we live and die as they did, we shall be with them shortly and eternally. If they minded not their own souls, is that a reason why their posterity should ruin theirs also? The prophets are gone. Christ is a Prophet that lives for ever, but all other prophets have a period put to their office. Oh that this consideration had its due weight; that dying ministers are dealing with dying people about their never-dying souls, and an awful eternity, upon the brink of which both are standing! In another world, both we and our prophets shall live for ever: to prepare for that world ought to be our great care in this. The preachers died, and the hearers died, but the word of God died not; not one jot or title of it fell to the ground; for he is righteous.
Verses 7-17 The prophet saw a dark, shady grove, hidden by hills. This represented the low, melancholy condition of the Jewish church. A man like a warrior sat on a red horse, in the midst of this shady myrtle-grove. Though the church was in a low condition, Christ was present in the midst, ready to appear for the relief of his people. Behind him were angels ready to be employed by him, some in acts of judgment, others of mercy, others in mixed events. Would we know something of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, we must apply, not to angels, for they are themselves learners, but to Christ himself. He is ready to teach those humbly desirous to learn the things of God. The nations near Judea enjoyed peace at that time, but the state of the Jews was unsettled, which gave rise to the pleading that followed; but mercy must only be hoped for through Christ. His intercession for his church prevails. The Lord answered the Angel, this Angel of the covenant, with promises of mercy and deliverance. All the good words and comfortable words of the gospel we receive from Jesus Christ, as he received them from the Father, in answer to the prayer of his blood; and his ministers are to preach them to all the world. The earth sat still, and was at rest. It is not uncommon for the enemies of God to be at rest in sin, while his people are enduring correction, harassed by temptation, disquieted by fears of wrath, or groaning under oppression and persecution. Here are predictions which had reference to the revival of the Jews after the captivity, but those events were shadows of what shall take place in the church, after the oppression of the New Testament Babylon is ended.
Verses 18-21 The enemies of the church threaten to cut off the name of Israel. They are horns, emblems of power, strength, and violence. The prophet saw them so formidable that he began to despair of the safety of every good man, and the success of every good work; but the Lord showed him four workmen empowered to cut off these horns. With an eye of sense we see the power of the enemies of the church; look which way we will, the world shows us that; but it is only with an eye of faith that we see it safe. The Lord shows us that. When God has work to do, he will raise up some to do it, and others to defend it, and to protect those employed in doing it. What cause there is to look up in love and praise to the holy and eternal Spirit, who has the same care over the present and eternal interests of believers, by the holy word bringing the church to know the wonderful things of salvation!
Zechariah 1:1-17 . INTRODUCTORY EXHORTATION TO REPENTANCE. THE VISION. The man among the myrtles: Comforting explanation by the angel, an encouragement to the Jews to build the city and temple: The four horns and four artificers.
2. God fulfilled His threats against your fathers; beware, then, lest by disregarding His voice by me, as they did in the case of former prophets, ye suffer like them. The special object Zechariah aims at is that they should awake from their selfish negligence to obey God's command to rebuild His temple ( Haggai 1:4-8 ).
sore displeased--Hebrew, "displeased with a displeasure," that is, vehemently, with no common displeasure, exhibited in the destruction of the Jews' city and in their captivity.
3. saith the Lord of hosts--a phrase frequent in Haggai and Zechariah, implying God's boundless resources and universal power, so as to inspire the Jews with confidence to work.
Turn ye unto me . . . and I will turn--that is, and then, as the sure consequence, "I will turn unto you" ( Malachi 3:7 , 4:8 ; compare also Jeremiah 3:12 , Ezekiel 18:30 , Micah 7:19 ). Though God hath brought you back from captivity, yet this state will not last long unless ye are really converted. God has heavier scourges ready, and has begun to give symptoms of displeasure [CALVIN]. ( Haggai 1:6 ).
4. Be ye not as your fathers--The Jews boasted of their fathers; but he shows that their fathers were refractory, and that ancient example and long usage will not justify disobedience ( 2 Chronicles 36:15 2 Chronicles 36:16 ).
the former prophets--those who lived before the captivity. It aggravated their guilt that, not only had they the law, but they had been often called to repent by God's prophets.
5. Your fathers . . . and the prophets, do they live for ever?--In contrast to "My words" ( Zechariah 1:6 ), which "endure for ever" ( 1 Peter 1:25 ). "Your fathers have perished, as was foretold; and their fate ought to warn you. But you may say, The prophets too are dead. I grant it, but still My words do not die: though dead, their prophetical words from Me, fulfilled against your fathers, are not dead with them. Beware, then, lest ye share their fate."
6. statutes--My determined purposes to punish for sin.
which I commanded my servants--namely, to announce to your fathers.
did they not take hold--that is, overtake, as a foe overtakes one fleeing.
they returned--Turning from their former self-satisfaction, they recognized their punishment as that which God's prophets had foretold.
thought to do--that is, decreed to do. Compare with this verse Lamentations 2:17 .
our ways--evil ways ( Jeremiah 4:18 , 17:10 , 23:2 ).
7. The general plan of the nine following visions (Zechariah 1:8-6:15') is first to present the symbol; then, on a question being put, to subjoin the interpretation. Though the visions are distinct, they form one grand whole, presented in one night to the prophet's mind, two or three months after the prophet's first commission ( Zechariah 1:1 ).
Sebat--the eleventh month of the Jewish year, from the new moon in February to the new moon in March. The term is Chaldee, meaning a "shoot," namely, the month when trees begin to shoot or bud.
8. by night--The Jews begin their day with sunset; therefore the night which preceded the twenty-fourth day of the month is meant ( Zechariah 1:7 ).
a man--Jehovah, the second person of the Trinity, manifested in man's form, an earnest of the incarnation; called the "angel of Jehovah" ( Zechariah 1:11 Zechariah 1:12 ), "Jehovah the angel of the covenant" ( Malachi 3:1 ; compare Genesis 16:7 with Zechariah 1:13 ; Genesis 22:11 with Zechariah 1:12 ; Exodus 3:2 with Zechariah 1:4 ). Being at once divine and human, He must be God and man in one person.
riding--implying swiftness in executing God's will in His providence; hastening to help His people.
red horse--the color that represents bloodshed: implying vengeance to be inflicted on the foes of Israel (compare 2 Kings 3:22 , Isaiah 63:1 Isaiah 63:2 , Revelation 6:4 ); also fiery zeal.
among the myrtle trees--symbol of the Jewish Church: not a stately cedar, but a lowly, though fragrant, myrtle. It was its depressed state that caused the Jews to despond; this vision is designed to cheer them with better hopes. The uncreated angel of Jehovah's presence standing (as His abiding place, Psalms 132:14 ) among them, is a guarantee for her safety, lowly though she now be.
in the bottom--in a low place or bottom of a river; alluding to Babylon near the rivers Euphrates and Tigris, the scene of Judah's captivity. The myrtle delights in low places and the banks of waters [PEMBELLUS]. MAURER translates, from a different root, "in a shady place."
red horses--that is, horsemen mounted on red horses; Zechariah 1:10 Zechariah 1:11 , confirm this view.
speckled . . . white--The "white" implies triumph and victory for Judah; "speckled" (from a root "to intertwine"), a combination of the two colors white and red (bay [MOORE]), implies a state of things mixed, partly prosperous, partly otherwise [HENDERSON]; or, the connection of the wrath (answering to the "red") about to fall on the Jews' foes, and triumph (answering to the "white") to the Jews themselves in God's arrangements for His people [MOORE]. Some angels ("the red horses") exercised offices of vengeance; others ("the white"), those of joy; others ("the speckled"), those of a mixed character (compare Zechariah 6:2 Zechariah 6:3 ). God has ministers of every kind for promoting the interests of His Church.
9. the angel that talked with me--not the "man upon the red horse," as is evident from Zechariah 1:10 , where he (the Divine Angel) is distinguished from the "angel that talked with me" (the phrase used of him, Zechariah 1:13 Zechariah 1:14 , Zechariah 2:3 , Zechariah 4:1 Zechariah 4:4 Zechariah 4:5 , Zechariah 5:5 Zechariah 5:10 , 6:4 ), that is, the interpreting angel. The Hebrew for "with me," or, "in me" ( Numbers 12:8 ), implies internal, intimate communication [JEROME].
show thee--reveal to thy mental vision.
10. answered--The "angel of the covenant" here gives the reply instead of the interpreting angel, to imply that all communications through the interpreting angel come from Him as their source.
Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth--If "Satan walks to and fro in the earth" (implying restless activity) on errands of mischief to God's people ( Job 1:7 ), the Lord sends other angels to "walk to and fro" with unceasing activity everywhere to counterwork Satan's designs, and to defend His people ( Psalms 34:7 , 91:11 , Psalms 103:20 Psalms 103:21 , Hebrews 1:14 ).
11. The attendant angels report to the Lord of angels, "the earth . . . is at rest." The flourishing state of the heathen "earth," while Judah was desolate and its temple not yet restored, is the powerful plea in the Divine Angel's intercession with God the Father in Zechariah 1:12 . When Judah was depressed to the lowest point, and the heathen elated to the highest, it was time for Jehovah to work for His people.
sitteth still--dwells surely.
12. Not only does Messiah stand among His people (the "myrtles," Zechariah 1:8 ), but intercedes for them with the Father ("Lord," or "Jehovah of hosts") effectively ( Zechariah 1:13 , Hebrews 7:25 ). Compare Psalms 102:13-20 Isaiah 62:6 Isaiah 62:7 , as to Judah's restoration in answer to prayer.
answered and said--said in continuation of the discourse: proceeded to say.
how long--Messiah's people pray similarly to their Head. Revelation 6:10 , "How long," &c. Heretofore it was vain to pray, but now that the divinely appointed "threescore and ten years" ( Jeremiah 25:11 , 29:10 ) are elapsed, it is time to pray to Thee for the fulfilment of Thy promise, seeing that Thy grace is not yet fully manifested, nor Thy promise fulfilled. God's promises are not to make us slothful, but to quicken our prayers. HENDERSON, dating the seventy years from the destruction of Jerusalem (588 B.C.), supposes two years of the seventy had yet to run (520 B.C.).
13. the Lord--JEHOVAH, called "the angel of the Lord (Jehovah)" ( Zechariah 1:12 ).
good words and comfortable words--literally, "words, consolations." The subject of these consolatory words is stated in Zechariah 1:14 , &c.; the promise of full re-establishment, Jeremiah 29:10 Jeremiah 29:11 (compare Isaiah 57:18 , Hosea 11:8 ).
14. Cry--Proclaim so as to be heard clearly by all ( Isaiah 40:6 , 58:1 ).
I am jealous for Jerusalem--As a husband jealous for his wife, wronged by others, so Jehovah is for Judah, who has been injured wantonly by the heathen ( Zechariah 8:2 , Numbers 25:11 Numbers 25:13 , 1 Kings 19:10 , Joel 2:18 ).
15. very sore displeased with the heathen--in contrast with "I was but a little displeased" with My people. God's displeasure with His people is temporary and for their chastening; with the heathen oppressors, it is final and fatal ( Jeremiah 30:11 ). God's instruments for chastising His people, when He has done with them, He casts into the fire.
are at ease--carnally secure. A stronger phrase than "is at rest" ( Zechariah 1:11 ). They are "at ease," but as I am "sore displeased" with them, their ease is accursed. Judah is in "affliction," but as I love her and am jealous for her, she has every reason to be encouraged in prosecuting the temple work.
helped forward the affliction--afflicted My people more than I desired. The heathen sought the utter extinction of Judah to gratify their own ambition and revenge ( Isaiah 47:6 , Ezekiel 25:3 Ezekiel 25:6 , Obadiah 1:10-17 ).
16. I am returned--whereas in anger I had before withdrawn from her ( Hosea 5:15 ).
with mercies--not merely of one kind, nor once only, but repeated mercies.
my house shall be built--which at this time (the second year of Darius, Zechariah 1:1 ) had only its foundations laid ( Haggai 2:18 ). It was not completed till the sixth year of Darius ( Ezra 6:15 ).
line--( Job 38:5 ). The measuring-line for building, not hastily, but with measured regularity. Not only the temple, but Jerusalem also was to be rebuilt ( Nehemiah 2:3 , &c.; compare Zechariah 2:1 Zechariah 2:2 ). Also, as to the future temple and city, Ezekiel 41:3,42:1-44:31,45:6'.
17. yet--though heretofore lying in abject prostration.
My cities--not only Jerusalem, but the subordinate cities of Judah. God claims them all as peculiarly His, and therefore will restore them.
through prosperity . . . spread abroad--or overflow; metaphor from an overflowing vessel or fountain (compare Proverbs 5:16 ) [PEMBELLUS]. Abundance of fruits of the earth, corn and wine, and a large increase of citizens, are meant; also spiritual prosperity.
comfort Zion--( Isaiah 40:1 Isaiah 40:2 , 51:3 ).
choose--( Zechariah 2:12 , 3:2 , Isaiah 14:1 ). Here meaning, "show by acts of loving-kindness that He has chosen." His immutable choice from everlasting is the fountain whence flow all such particular acts of love.
Zechariah 1:18-21 . SECOND VISION. The power of the Jews foes shall be dissipated.
18. four horns--To a pastoral people like the Jews the horns of the strongest in the herd naturally suggested a symbol of power and pride of conscious strength: hence the ruling powers of the world ( Revelation 17:3 Revelation 17:12 ). The number four in Zechariah's time referred to the four cardinal points of the horizon. Wherever God's people turned, there were foes to encounter ( Nehemiah 4:7 ); the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Samaritan on the north; Egypt and Arabia on the south; Philistia on the west; Ammon and Moab on the east. But the Spirit in the prophet looked farther; namely, to the four world powers, the only ones which were, or are, to rise till the kingdom of Messiah, the fifth, overthrows and absorbs all others in its universal dominion. Babylon and Medo-Persia alone had as yet risen, but soon Græco-Macedonia was to succeed (as Zechariah 9:13 foretells), and Rome the fourth and last, was to follow ( Daniel 2:1-49 , 7:1-28 ). The fact that the repairing of the evils caused to Judah and Israel by all four kingdoms is spoken of here, proves that the exhaustive fulfilment is yet future, and only the earnest of it given in the overthrow of the two world powers which up to Zechariah's time had "scattered" Judah ( Jeremiah 51:2 , Ezekiel 5:10 Ezekiel 5:12 ). That only two of the four had as yet risen, is an argument having no weight with us, as we believe God's Spirit in the prophets regards the future as present; we therefore are not to be led by Rationalists who on such grounds deny the reference here and in Zechariah 6:1 to the four world kingdoms.
19. Judah, Israel--Though some of the ten tribes of Israel returned with Judah from Babylon, the full return of the former, as of the latter, is here foretold and must be yet future.
20. four carpenters--or "artificers." The several instrumentalities employed, or to be employed, in crushing the "Gentile" powers which "scattered" Judah, are hereby referred to. For every one of the four horns there was a cleaving "artificer" to beat it down. For every enemy of God's people, God has provided a counteracting power adequate to destroy it.
21. These are the horns--rather, Those, namely, the horns being distinguished from the "carpenters," or destroying workmen ("skilful to destroy," Exodus 21:31 ), intended in the "these" of the question.
no man . . . lift up his head--so depressed were they with a heavy weight of evils ( Job 10:15 ).
to fray--to strike terror into them ( Ezekiel 30:9 ).
lifted up . . . horn--in the haughtiness of conscious strength ( Psalms 75:4 Psalms 75:5 ) tyrannizing over Judah ( Ezekiel 34:21 ).

Since 2005, the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region leads the world in enhancing the business climate for local firms. The region overtook East Asia and the Pacific to become the second most business-friendly, after OECD high-income economies. However, one country, the Ukraine, has been described as the "rotten apple" in the region, comparing unfavorably to its neighboring countries. After meeting the "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States," I decided to take a closer look.
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

In the midst of all the excitement of planning for a new baby, many couples don't think ahead about the adjustments that parenting brings. It is common for relationships to become tense in the first few months after a baby is born. Like other types of stress, the stress of caring for a new baby can build or destroy a couple's relationship. A new addition to the family poses a number of challenges, including changes in roles, dealing with unfamiliar tasks, physical and emotional exhaustion, and shifting attention away from the partner and toward the baby. As a result of these challenges, open and caring communication among partners becomes essential.
Sexual difficulties are common after the birth of a baby. Such difficulties may include:
- One or both partners feeling so tired that they have little interest in sex
- One partner having more interest in sex than the other
- Sexual conflicts or increased arousal with breastfeeding
- Interrupted lovemaking
- Postpartum depression
Defining Parental Roles
Parental roles have historically been very clear and well-defined. Typically, the mother stayed home with the children and the father worked to support the family financially. In the majority of households today, this is no longer the case. Nowadays, many mothers and fathers both work, and as a result, parental roles have become less clear. This can often result in conflict and increased stress. Couples and families can reduce stress by taking the time to discuss and agree upon roles, responsibilities, and schedules. Discussion should be ongoing, since roles will change as parental responsibilities change.
Women may feel especially tired and overburdened if they work outside the home. Men may feel added pressure to succeed financially. Conflicts often occur when women need companionship or help around the house and their husbands are spending long hours at work. Men often feel unappreciated and left out when their spouses are spending so much time and attention on the new baby.
Tips for New Moms
- Accept that you will probably feel overwhelmed by your new responsibilities. Most new mothers feel the same way.
- At times, you will probably feel unappreciated, resentful, envious, or even scared. Do not keep these feelings inside. Make time to talk calmly and openly with your partner about how you are feeling and to ask for help and emotional support.
- Encourage your partner to help you care for your baby. Be supportive of his help, even when he does not do things the way you would like them done. Make it a point to thank him for helping and to tell him how much this means to you.
- Look for the humor in your new experiences—it will help make the rough times smoother.
- Be sure that you and your partner schedule some regular time to be together each day, even if it is not much.
Tips for New Fathers
- Keep the lines of communication open with your partner. She needs to know what you are feeling and how she can help. At the same time, she needs your support. If you want to talk, try to schedule it at a time when your partner is not overwhelmed and exhausted (such as after being up all night with a crying baby. It may be best to schedule time to talk when the baby has gone to bed or when someone else is watching the baby. If you are feeling frustrated and stressed, talk about your feelings instead of blaming or criticizing your partner.
- If you are worried about finances and feel the need to work longer and harder at your job, communicate this to your partner. Although you may feel this pressure, it is important to balance work and home life until a routine is established. Try to work your normal day and go home to pitch in. Once things even out, you can discuss working longer.
- It is normal to feel a bit awkward handling your new baby. However, the more you participate in caring for your baby, the easier it will get and the more comfortable you will feel.
- Look for opportunities to help out. Holding and cuddling your new baby will help establish an important bond. Help your partner with diaper changing and bottle-feeding, and be supportive and encouraging if your partner decides to breastfeed.
- If your spouse has been trying to comfort a crying baby for a while, offer to hold and comfort the baby yourself, or help with some of the other chores to ease your partner's burden. Keep in mind that your partner may be feeling exhausted and unappreciated, especially during the first three months. Find opportunities to relieve her burdens and be sure to show your appreciation.

Transportation in Gothenburg
Walking is often the quickest way to get about for short trips within the compact city centre, as well as being a great way to explore the attractions of the harbourside and the historic streets of Haga Old Town.
A number of companies operate taxis in the city. They can be taken from strategically located ranks, and are bookable in advance by telephone, and in many cases online.
Gothenburg's bus network serves destinations spread around the city and its outskirts, and links with the tram lines in many central areas. The main bus terminus is adjacent to the central railway station.
Rent your car
A car is useful if you're exploring other parts of Sweden, but you can explore the city centre on foot or via the tram network. The Göteborg Pass includes parking, public transport and entrance to most attractions, and is available for one- to five-day periods.
Transportation tips
The Göteborgs Pass (Gothenburg Pass) can be bought online, via the Gothenburg city tourist office website, on smartphones or at tourist offices and shops around the city. It represents excellent value, giving unlimited travel on trams, buses and some boat services, plus free admission to attractions and museums, along with some tours, and discounts in selected restaurants and shops.

KENTUCKY (5/15/13) – Kentucky Utilities Company is alerting customers of a recent telephone scam asking customers to pay their bills over the phone.
The caller claims to be a utility employee and asks for immediate bill payment by credit card or pre-paid money card. If the targeted customer does not cooperate, the caller threatens to disconnect the person's electric service.
KU has alerted authorities and offers the following SAFE advice to residential and business customers:
- Secure your personal information: KU will never call and ask for credit or debit card numbers or other personal information.
- Always remember you have bill payment options: KU offers customers a variety of official payment options. A complete list can be found at www.lge-ku.com/ways_to_pay.asp.
- First check with KU if you're suspicious: Customers who receive a suspicious live phone call, an email or letter should call KU, who will always verify official communication. KU customers should call 1-800-981-0600.
- Elect to speak to a KU representative: As a courtesy, KU does make computer-generated calls to remind customers if their payment is late and the call includes an option for customers to select if they want to make their payment by phone.
Customers who have been impacted by this scam should report it to their local police department.
Although the latest scam targets customers by phone, KU encourages customers to always obtain positive identification in the event someone appears at their door stating they are there on the company's behalf.
Authentic KU ID badges – whether issued to an employee or a contractor – show the companies' logos. An employee ID card always has the employees name and color photograph on the front as well.
Sometimes there are legitimate service-related reasons the utility may need access to a customer's home, but in-person contact at a customer's home never involves collecting payment for a monthly bill.

Particle physics at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta
Look to the skies for live cosmic ray experiments where physicists from the University of Bristol will be celebrating the centenary of the discovery of cosmic rays.
As part of the Fiesta we will be recreating the historic experiments where detectors were carried aloft in hot air balloons to show that the cosmic radiation increases with altitude . The University played a key role in cosmic rays research, winning a Nobel Prize in the process. This research also gave birth to groundbased high energy physics and experiments such as those carried out at the Large Hadron Collider.
The exhibition will celebrate Nobel Prize winning particle physicists from the University and host interactive displays and hands-on activities, with researchers on hand throughout the Fiesta to explain the science behind these fascinating experiments.

The word resurrection is mentioned 41 times in the New Testament. To be raised from the dead is mentioned numerous times by Jesus and by the apostles who preached the crucified and resurrected Christ.
Paul said to the Philippians, "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;" (Philippians 3:10 KJV).
What was the power of his resurrection? To know the power of his resurrection is to experience victory over death. Death is not the end for one who knows Christ as his personal Savior.
The crux of the Christian faith is the knowledge of the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection was the most fundamental message preached by the early church beginning on the Day of Pentecost.
In Peter's mighty message that day, he said, "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it (Acts 2:24 KJV).
It was not possible for the grave to hold Jesus — the Giver of Life could not be defeated by death. Humanity would have been doomed without any hope whatever if Jesus had not risen from the dead. Christ's resurrection is a pledge to every believer that if we are true believers in him, because he has risen, we shall also arise.
Christ demonstrated "... God so loved the world" — even before He went to the cross — when he called Lazarus forth from the grave. The story of Jesus' raising Lazarus from the dead encompasses many emotions: love, despair, hope, faith, disappointment, sorrow and joy.
Jesus was in the region of Jordan when the news came to him of Lazarus' sickness. But instead of immediately leaving for Bethany, Jesus said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby" (John 11:4 KJV).
There was no mistaking the fact that "Jesus loved Martha and Mary and their brother Lazarus." Neither was there any doubt that He could heal Lazarus of any sickness. But He had a reason for delaying his journey to Bethany.
After two days, Jesus told his disciples that it was time to go into Judea. Knowing the feeling against Jesus there and the threats on His life, the disciples felt that it would be better not to go. Besides, if Lazarus was sleeping as Jesus stated, he must be getting well.
Jesus said simply, "He is dead." What an utterly hopeless situation when looked on in the natural. But Jesus is the life — He is the resurrection and He knew exactly what He was doing.
Jesus had waited four days after the death of Lazarus to raise him. The Jews believed that the spirit of a person stayed with the body three days and after that, graves were sealed showing that the person had gone — there was no hope for revival. So there was no room for disbelief when Jesus called, "Lazarus, come forth."
When we have no hope and are filled with disappointment and sorrows, that's when Jesus can be all that we need. He said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" (John 11:25).
A man was telling a minister how he would start a new religion, to which the minister replied, "First, you must be born of a virgin and when you reach manhood, fast 40 days and be tempted of the devil before you begin preaching. After that, work miracles — feed thousands, heal people and raise the dead to life. The next thing is to be arrested, tried, crucified, die on the cross and be buried. But the main thing is to arise from the dead and come from the grave. Then you will have your religion."

A Guide to Recognizing Your Brewer Injuries
milwaukee brewers March 10th, 2011
This week we all learned about Zack Greinke's basketball related injury that will keep him out for 4-6 weeks and delay his Brewers debut by a few weeks. It isn't the end of the world, but at the same it's not exactly what we had in mind for our new superstar and it sucks. What sucks even more is that Zack Greinke isn't the only Milwaukee Brewer currently experiencing an injury. In fact, there are quite a few of them and it's getting to the point where it's hard to keep up with all of them. That's why we decided to do the Milwaukee Brewers Universe a favor and create a comprehensive guide to all the aches and pains currently ailing the home town team. What can we say? We aim to please.

Top Tech of 2007
Dec 1, 2007 12:00 PM, By Jack Kontney
A look back at the evolution of top new products this year.
2007 marked another banner year in the evolution of the technology that drives the AV industry. As always, new products abounded in the audio and video categories, while digital signage and life-safety systems evolved, along with the software and control systems to handle it all. With the convergence of systems technologies continuing unabated through IP control in the digital domain, it's becoming more difficult to classify products into neat little categories. Rather, it's all about functionality — examining the job at hand and finding a combination of mutually compatible technologies that will provide the functionality needed to handle that challenge.
The irony, of course, is that while many new products do an amazing job of solving problems and adding new abilities within existing categories, the array of choices can be confusing. While this article can't hope to do justice to the myriad of new choices in the marketplace, it can highlight many products honored at the industry's major tradeshows in 2007: the NSCA Innovations in Technology Awards, Sound & Video Contractor's Pick Hit Awards for new products showcased at InfoComm, and CEDIA's Manufacturers' Excellence Awards. For convenience, we're dividing them into three categories: audio, video, and beyond.
InfoComm saw the announcement of 2007's biggest news in audio. Amid all the worries over the potential loss of the UHF band used by conventional wireless systems, Audio-Technica called a press conference at the show to trumpet its SpectraPulse system. Operating in the wide-open 6GHz range, SpectraPulse is designed for boardrooms and meeting rooms. Rather than modulating a carrier signal, SpectraPulse sends a stream of low-level, 3-nanosecond pulses across an ultra-wideband link, where they are converted to a digital audio stream, easily connecting to recording, conferencing, or standard PA systems. Up to 14 channels (seven per rack space) can operate simultaneously, latency is only 1.1 millisecond, and the system's frequency response is 100Hz to 12kHz — perfect for speech. While the system is inherently secure due to its unique transmission scheme, Audio-Technica also promised to offer an optional 128-bit encryption package when the system starts shipping (scheduled for December).
Audio networking is hot in the construction market, and Audio Design Associates (ADA) won an award at CEDIA for its Structured Wiring Audio Network (SWAN) system. SWAN incorporates a modular approach and innovative hardware that literally fits into the building infrastructure. In fact, an entire SWAN system can be housed in a structured wiring box. Significantly, SWAN meets Fannie Mae guidelines for inclusion in mortgages, making it ideal for any residential construction. The system can handle eight audio sources into four (and up to 48) destination zones, and it works with ADA's family of wall-plate controllers and touchscreens. The SWAN dual tuner handles XM, Sirius, and HD AM/FM ranges. Other components include an integrated amplifier, an audio input/infrared controller module, and a zone controller integrated amplifier.
AMX also took home a CEDIA award for its AutoPatch PrecisDSP, a stereo audio matrix switcher designed for high-end audio distribution installations. Available in 8×8 and 18×18 configurations, PrecisDSP allows precise customization to meet the output needs of each destination zone. Features include integrated 10-band graphic EQ; input gain; and volume, tone, and balance controls. The AMX AutoPatch PrecisDSP includes the intuitive APGraphic EQ wizard, and it offers full compatibility with AMX NetLinx and Duet.
In a world of competing standards in digital audio networking, Whirlwind took the high road with its Protocol eXchange Platform (PXP), a system designed to help digital devices of different pedigrees to coexist within one venue. For system designers, this means that legacy products can be integrated freely with whatever new ones offer the needed functionality. The PXP is offered in three models: a CobraNet device to communicate with A-Net Pro 16, an Ethersound device to communicate with A-Net Pro 16, and a 16-channel bidirectional interface between CobraNet and Ethersound.
Dolby Laboratories, meanwhile, has taken loudspeaker and EQ technology into the digital realm with the Dolby Lake Processor, a complete signal-processing system designed to control loudspeaker systems while improving their sound quality. Supporting four-in, 12-out loudspeaker applications and eight-in, eight-out EQ schemes, the Dolby Lake handles both traditional analog and native digital I/O. Its LimiterMax loudspeaker protection system ensures full real-world loudspeaker protection, while the patented Raised Cosine Equalization system makes it easy to optimize the sound quality of the system. The unit ships complete with tablet PC software, allowing the user to listen and adjust the system from any seat in the house.
With its roots as a rackmount CD player, the Denon Professional DN-C640 slot-in network audio player takes that humble concept to its logical conclusion, with the ability to read virtually any audio format from CD (music or data) to DVD data discs, plus network audio functionality for streaming audio playlists from a laptop, server, or LAN. The unit offers direct playback of WAV, MP3, CD-DA, and WMA from a single disc. Ethernet connectivity and an onboard web GUI enable centralized control and playlist programming from any web-enabled computer. Comprehensive control options include RS-232, contact closure for GPIO, RJ-45 for Ethernet/LAN, and a full-featured infrared remote — making this unit ideal for any installation incorporating audio playback.
With teleconferencing beginning its morph into immersive telepresence systems, the need for exceptional audio in telephony has never been greater. SoundStructure is Polycom's next-generation voice processor, which offers sophisticated DSP and acoustic echo cancellation for Polycom HDX video codecs interfacing with virtually any standard analog microphone or wireless input. With feedback control and wideband echo cancellation on every input, SoundStructure provides natural, glitch-free audio for even the largest teleconferencing systems, routing any input to any or all outputs (up to 128 channels) with its OBAM (One Big Audio Matrix) routing system.
Of course, sound quality starts at the input stage, and Yamaha nabbed an InfoComm Pick Hit award from Sound & Video Contractor with its unique ProjectPhone audio unit for both VoIP and telephony-based conferencing systems. Already available in Japan, the system uses onboard DSP to localize and track each talker at the conference table, activating those inputs to keep everyone "on mic" even when they move around. The PJP-100UH is a long, sleek desktop unit secreting an array of 32 microphones around its base and a set of downfiring loudspeakers underneath. USB and stereo analog interfaces ensure compatibility with any audio- or videoconferencing system, and audio clarity among multiple locations is ensured by broadband echo cancellation and noise reduction.

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
Wednesday nights in Aberdeen just got interesting: Satrosphere Science Centre is being taken over by students!

Kid Rock Honored by NAACP After a potentially disasterous flare up over Kid Rock's use of the Confederate flag at his concerts, Kid Rock donated $50,000 to various organizations in Detroit and was honored by the Detroit branch of the NAACP. In his acceptance speech, Kid Rock emphasized that he loves America, Detroit and black people. His use of the Confederate flag was a nod to his rock greats Lynyrd Skynyrd and not toward the legacay of racism and intolerance that the flag represents for many. Pick up tickets for Kid Rock in concert with special guests now! About Kid Rock The badboy they call Kid Rock was born Robert James Ritchie, on January 17, 1971. He has been known to blend several oft-believed incompatible musical genres, such as hip-hop, punk rock, and southern rock, together into a style all his own. Sporting a brimmed hat and long hair, Kid Rock cuts a figure difficult to classify, as he strums his guitar and screams like a banshee at the crowd during every Kid Rock concert. His albums Devil Without a Cause, the History of Rock and Cocky, marked his assault on the eardrums of America, and Kid Rock's sudden silhouette became easily recognizable to millions of people . More albums followed and tickets for Kid Rock in concert sold like hotcakes. His backup band, Twisted Brown Trucker, is an outfit capable of fusing rap, southern rock, country and blues, in a dizzying whorl of noise and harmony. The huge cross-over hit in 2003 with Sheryl Crow called "Picture", cemented his credibility as a performer, and earned him nominations at the CMA's. Each and every Kid Rock concert and Kid Rock tour date is an occasion to cut loose and go crazy, and we have Kid Rock tickets to virtually every stop on his tour! Kid Rock and Twisted Brown Trucker released Rock N Roll Jesus in October, 2007, and the world is still loving the record three years later. The Kid's most recent release, "Born Free," received major coverage during the 2010 MLB when the title track was used to open each MLB game. According to Rolling Stone Magazine journalist Alan Light "Born Free has the Skynyrd guitar attack, the Leon Russell- style gospel backup singers, some fire-down-below boogie from Rock's Detroit godfather, Bob Seger (who adds his blessing with the piano part on "Collide"). The trippy, pinwheeling guitars of the closing "For the First Time (In a Long Time)" even drift into — I kid you not — Grateful Dead territory."

From reading these forums and those on BGG it is clear that there is a BIG split relatively down the middle of people wanting either PVP OR Co-Op. There's a large number of those players who'd like to see a game that utilizes both. But it does appear that the thing that's frustrating gamers the most at the moment is the utter lack of ANY idea now what this game is going to be. What route they're now trying to take it down or how it's going.
The Co-Op players hope that co-op might still feature. The PVP players hope it's now going to be PVP but the truth is that none of us have ANY idea what's going on. Come on FFG, throw us a bone, give us a clue, look into the Force and share it with your fans. Before they all rebel and walk.

Well there is such a thing as self-defence of course, and people in South Africa are very security conscious - with good reason. The argument about defending your property is more complicated (the Tony Martin case here being a good example) but Flib seems to be suggesting that Pistorius must have known who it was before firing. None of us can possibly know that.
jumping to conclusions like flibbertyjibber has would have led to OJ Simpson unfarily spending a life in gaol
If Flibberty said "hmmm, could be sus" that is one thing. I reckon on the face of it many would be like "may not be what it seems"
Its another to declare him guilty and want him to be jailed for life immediately because he shot someone. Gotta wait for the investigation and facts surrrrrrrrrrely.

it is real. i saw the video a long time ago.
it is real. i saw the video a long time ago.
What's the name of that video? I have to see it.
yes- the Oscar pic above is real- there's another where a cock is shown- that's the fake one....
any more pics out there
Have seen a video of a weigh-ins with a lot of young hot guys. But now I can't find it again. Anyone know that one. Please post it.
The video is here: http://www.multiupload.com/IZ2T0CDL3M
That looks like it was planned, but the guy is hot. Is the uncensored version of the large photo available? The guy looks well-hung in the smaller photo. The video is here: http://www.multiupload.com/3Z8NPIAD92
Damn, these are hot pics! What's going on with both of these guys and their hard ons while weighing?
Thanks Joe for posting all those!! Nothing hotter to see than a young guy with a nice body standing there naked. I think the situation makes it particularly erotic for me. A guy there naked while everyone else is standing around fully clothed, and the Naked guy is obviously the center of everyone's attention!!!
your welcome its good to hear your thoughts and your right the situation these guys are in is hot. i like how a boxer/fighter will step on the scales in his underwear and 1 or 2 officials will check his weight, if he is over the weight by a few ounces and has to get naked, all of a sudden about 10 'officials' will come and look!!
prime example is the first pic below
boxer gavin rees
jason booth
I love how it takes 7 men looking down at his crotch and butt to make sure he's doing it right:
I hope some of those 'officials' are there to make sure of the 'accuracy' of the scales!!
Of course I enjoy these, but, as I've mentioned in some other threads, as a society we are much too preoccupied about people being naked. I guess these pics wouldn't mean 'jack' to us if everyone was walking about in the nude!
Thanks for all the pictures Joe!! I really do appreciate it!! Hmmm, how do you get a job as one of those 'officials'??
Kiss the right ass.
Nice. Man the guy with the boner, is neat. (if not photoshopped in).
I really wonder about the accuracy of these scales, most are not that accurate to within 1-2 pounds. So how is shedding a light pair of briefs, that weighs less then a 1 pound, going to make any difference apart from freakin us all out???
Its almost deliberate, with nothing to do about actual weight.
the couple of officaial weigh-ins i have been to the scales were digital and weighed to the nearest ounce, but yeh some just do it for the hell of it, but i wont be complaining if it happens at a weigh-in i'm going too soon!! might even get some pics as its not unusuall when the weigh-ins are open to the public for the crowd to be taking photos!!
I have read somewhere along the way that in the 1920s-1960s, when there were a lot of black boxers and wrestlers sponsored by white men, the weighins were always with the black athletes nude and all of the white organizers, gentlemen of the press, etc. closing in. The observers were just as interessted in the genitalia as the weight. The back room conversations went on for days regarding the athletes' assets.

Segway Fort Lauderdale owner Johnathan Rosen views Segways as about as simple to get the hang of as walking (he's seen clients ages 5 to 92 master them). On these jaunts of Fort Lauderdale, groups roll through scenic areas, visit piers, and take optional jaunts down back alleys. There, they can try out their Segways' top speed?roughly 12.5 mph, about as fast as a cheetah wearing substantial ankle weights. As participants roll along, guides can share tidbits about the comings and goings of area celebrities in the area and the Segway's history. There's also plenty of time for participants to talk amongst themselves while a company photographer snaps complimentary action shots.
To beat the all-tackle world record for a yellowfin tuna, you'd have to hook a behemoth weighing in the neighborhood of 450 pounds. Should any angler ever successfully snag such a fish, the record keepers of the International Game Fish Association will be among the first to announce the catch's confirmed stature. As part of their mission to conserve all types of game fish and to promote ethical angling practices, the IGFA representatives also advise fishermen on how to bring the catch ashore, verify its measurements, and release it while causing as little stress to the fish as possible.
The association's conservation efforts continue with its IGFA Great Marlin Race program, a partnership with Stanford University that outfits fishermen with research equipment to achieve a better understanding of marlin biology and the cause of pruney fingers. The IGFA also keeps the community engaged with ethical game fishing by hosting school groups and summer camps for kids. Beyond this programming, the IGFA maintains a museum that honors the history of sport fishing and its legendary anglers.
In 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans.
Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.
For 17 years, Flamingo Gardens has gathered plant experts, landscapers, and other gardening connoisseurs to its annual festival. This year, the Broward Bonsai Society joins in the fun with an exhibition of the varied shapes and levels of perfection its miniature trees can hold. Displays from Alexander Farms, Greenhouse Orchids, and other vendors entice the eyes while guests wander about, taking in colorful performances from butterfly stilt-walkers and West African drummers. At the Butterfly Encounter, guests learn lepidopterist lore from expert Mike Rich while feeding live butterflies and teaching them about the updated food pyramid.
Wee ones, meanwhile, can head to the Kids Gardening Zone to decorate their own pots and plant a seed or romp through the gardens on a scavenger hunt. Plant experts also hold classes and demonstrations, including "Mounting Orchids & Basic Orchid Culture," and take guests on guided tours through the botanical gardens.

The goals of the instructors at Intensity Dancers' Studio go far beyond dance—the team aspires to help their students become well-rounded individuals as they grow. That can even be seen by the number of students using their talents outside the studio, with some competing on teams at the national level. Children can participate in lessons that cover classic or modern dance styles at the school, where ballet gets equal billing with hip-hop and acrobatics options. As dancers progress, they not only learn proper technique and execution, but how to cultivate discipline and self-confidence, tools intended to help them success off the dance floor too.

Sialoblastoma of Intraoral Minor Salivary Gland Origin; A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Siema Hassan, D.M.D., Paul Freedman, D.D.S., Renee Reich, D.D.S., Maria Alba Greco, M.D.
Background: Sialoblastoma is a rare, congenital (or perinatal) low-grade malignant salivary gland neoplasm, which resembles fetal salivary gland tissue. Only 24 cases have been reported in the English literature. The earliest cases have been termed embryomas, congenital carcinomas and hybrid basal-cell adenoma-adenoid cystic carcinomas. Sialoblastoma has been reported in association with hamartomas and hepatoblastoma. The term sialoblastoma was first used by Taylor in 1988 and is the current name used by the WHO. Multiple recurrences and metastases have been reported but the rarity of sialoblastoma has limited the understanding of its biologic behavior. Several authors have attempted to classify sialoblastoma into benign and malignant variants based on microscopic features such as cytologic atypia and necrosis. However, because of this tumor's unpredictable behavior; it is prudent to consider all sialoblastomas as malignant neoplasms.
Learning Objectives: The learning objective is twofold: The first is to familiarize clinicians with this rare entity. The second is to stress the unpredictable biologic behavior of this tumor and the importance of correlation between the microscopic features, clinical presentation and prognosis.
Case Report: We report a case of sialoblastoma in a newborn male that was not detected by prenatal sonography. Unlike previously reported cases that arose from major glands, our case arose from the minor salivary glands of the buccal mucosa. The mass was firm, freely mobile and non-ulcerated. Clinical impression at that time was a hemangioma. An incisional biopsy was performed. The microscopic features were consistent with a salivary gland tumor. A diagnosis of sialoblastoma was rendered. In addition to histopathologic diagnosis, tissue was also sent for cytogenetic and electron microscopic studies. An MRI was also performed. No genetic abnormalities were discovered and no other tumors were noted elsewhere in the body. The tumor did not involve the parotid gland. Histopathologic examination of the excised specimen revealed extension of the tumor to the surgical margins. A proposed method of classification that was implemented by the AFIP was used to attempt to classify this case. Due to the high proliferation index, high mitotic count, marked pleomorphism and other factors, this tumor was considered to be "unfavorable". The patient is to be closely monitored with 3-month follow-up visits.
Discussion: Most sialoblastomas described in the literature have originated in the major salivary glands (majority in the parotid gland). The proposed pathogenesis of sialoblastoma is arrested differentiation of salivary gland tissue, with the resultant tumor resembling fetal salivary gland tissue. Most sialoblastomas present at birth or arise shortly thereafter, and present as a mass of the cheek or over the angle of the mandible. Tumors range in size from 1.5 cm in greatest diameter to as large as 15 cm. Nearly all patients were asymptomatic but facial paralysis has been reported. In the largest series of reported sialoblastomas, the AFIP has attempted to classify these neoplasms according to microscopic features, to better predict biologic behavior. These features include degree of anaplasia, mitotic count and proliferation index, amount of stroma seen and presence of necrosis. The differential diagnoses of sialoblastoma in a clinical setting include hemangioma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma and lipoblastoma. Histologically, the most common misdiagnoses include basal cell adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.
Of 15 cases reported previously, 4 recurred and 3 of these recurred multiple times. Recurrences usually occur several months to 1.5 years after the excision. Extension into the base of the skull and metastases to regional lymph nodes has also been reported.
Thus it is concluded that surgical excision with tumor-free margins is crucial to successful therapy. The efficacy of both chemo- and radiotherapy remains difficult to assess due to the limited number of cases.
