Compañía Chilena de Navegación Interoceánica S.A. (CCNI) with headquarters in Valparaiso, Chile, and Hamburg Südamerikanische Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft KG (HSDG) with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, announce that they have signed a preliminary agreement whereby HSDG will acquire the container liner activities of CCNI including the related general agency functions subject to due diligence, execution of a sale and purchase agreement and approval by the competent authorities. According to the involved parties, the acquisition is scheduled to be executed before December 31, 2014. HSDG said it intends to strengthen its liner network to and from South America by integrating the CCNI liner services, a merge that it believes will help to improve service to the customers of both companies. Following the transaction CCNI will continue its non-liner shipping activities including the car carrier and ship-owning business, the group said. ccni.cl hamburgsud.com

Fraudulent Bank. They Steal Your Money
I never heard of an actual FDIC bank putting a hold on your account to prevent fraud if you never incurred any fraudulent charges on your account. My account is brand new. I have never had green dot card before and never will again! I went to activate my card after i had my income tax direct deposited to my account. This is not chump change but i aint no millionaire either.
I had plans to make sound investments with my money and get some transportation for me and my two daughters who i take care all by myself. Do you think these bloodsuckers care. I kept sending in my id to verify my account is not fraudulent (mind you this a new account, never been activated), they keep telling me they haven't received it and that is nothing they can do until they receive that document.
However, it is something i can do! I will keep calling to find out when they are going to give me my money. As well as tomorrow morning i am going to report them to the irs and see if they cant get me in touch with the proper authorities to sue their butts. Oh, trust, just like the last reviewer i am making it my personal mission to make sure this bank is taking down by the feds!

Great Customer Service
I had an issue with a transaction after ordering an item online. Carissa was very helpful with solving my issue. She stayed on the line with me for over an hour and went above and beyond with a three-way call with the company I ordered an item from. She assisted me with a conflict I had while on the three-way call. Carissa was very polite and helpful. I cannot thank her enough for helping me.

1099: Terrible Online Customer Service
I have two accounts at Capital One because of the ease of sending bank to bank transfers. They were years ahead of their competitors on this. However they now have fallen far behind in terms of online service. Today was only the last in a chain of events that will lead me to move my accounts. When i did not receive my 1099, i assumed i would be able to access one online. When i couldn't find it, i tried to use the chat function on customer service, but it was "not available.
I wrote an email, for which i received no response within 24 hours, not even an automated response that my email had been received. I then tried online again and after several minutes of q&a was told there was no way to receive my 1099 except via regular mail. (not online, fax or email) she then told me to go back and write another email requesting a replacement 1099. When i balked she said she could request it for me (not sure why she didn't do this initially).
After waiting five minutes, i asked her if she was still there. She then responded that i should receive my replacement 1099 in two weeks. Two weeks? This would be such an easy thing to put online. All the information is available there, just not the tax form. I use several banks and this is the only one that does not make these tax forms available online.

Avoid Signing Up At All Cost
Terrible customer service
they will mess up your account if you don't respond to their 1 million security questions (a lot more than any other bank)
put a security block on your card and cause you embarrassing moments when trying to use it
sign you up for their other products (savings and every day accounts) without consulting with you and causing extra hassle to you so you have to call, go through their 1 million questions so you can cancel the unwanted products

Poor Service To Valued Customer
MBNA as it is known in UK, do not take a credit card out with this company, i had one for many years but following a complaint from me, the complaint was handled poorly, they do not admit when they are clearly in the wrong and referred me to credit reference agencies. The tone of customer service staff was apalling, they refused to accept any liability, so i closed the account. Beware, if in uk look elsewhere for credit cards, not mbna if you want a good service.

To Transfer Significant Amounts Of Money, Do Not US Bank
US Bank has ridiculous limits on transferring money: $1200 per month to an external account, $1000 4 days apart with a max of $4000 per month if you use popmoney. Plus they charged $20 for a transfer into an account from an external account! If your looking at a loan, they are competitive but not for a regular checking account. I sure wish i would have done some research before using us bank.

I Miss Regions So Much!
When i moved to utah, i was disappointed that no regions branches are in my area. I held off on closing my account for about a year because my experience with regions over several years was great. Now i'm reminded why. My current bank, bank of american fork, does not treat customers nearly as well as regions. When i had a purchase dispute a few years ago with a fraudulent vendor, regions acted as my ally and took care of the issue immediately and credited my account with kindness and responsiveness.
Even though it was a $20 dispute, they treated it with the respect of a $2,000 issue. My current bank has treated a recent dispute for the same amount ($20) with the same disrespect as the vendor who never mailed the item i ordered. First, they called the vendor and agreed to a compromise without asking me if it was okay, and now they're ignoring my requests for followup. The difference between the way regions made me feel like a valued customer and the way my current bank treats me is night and day.
Regions also took care of other issues with my account as they arose here and there, always with a prompt care for the fact that my money matters to me. If regions ever opens a branch in the salt lake city area, i will make a beeline to that location!

Lack Of Professionalism And Rudeness.
I went to cash a check at the Forest Hills office on Feb 19, 2015. The drive through was suppose to open at 8:30 am. There was a red x on the lanes indictating they were not open. I proceeded to go i to the bank, and was waiting to be waited on. The manager had his back to me, and started talking to the tellers about customer relations. He actually said that they can read an individual when they enter the bank. He said to be careful when dealing with these people.
He instructed his staff to put amounts of money in certain draws when they get a certain amount. He said they have too much money on hand. He also said to greet people when they enter etc. I was perplexed at this conversation. The manager was clueless about who was in the bank etc. I had a black tossel hat on and black coat. I guess i was the character he was referring to. The woman teller motioned to me to come to her area. As soon as i gave her the check, she said to me in a smart tone id?
I have dealt with this woman numerous times, and she wanted either to impress her boss or use a power play. I told her, you have got to be kidding. The manager told me i was raising my voice, and i told him get serious. The other teller there knew me, as imhave had my account in first commonwealth since it was great american federal. I have never experienced a bank so unprofessional and rude. I will be closing all of my accounts.

A Simple Accomodation To A Long Time A Customer: Denied!
I work in the bronx and would have to take a half day off from work to get to park slope branch where my account was originated 20 years ago, so i wrote a $6,700- check to a friend who agreed to do me the favor and withdraw cash i needed to make a business transaction. The check was written to her name. She had proper id. There was more than enough cash in my account to cover the check.
The branch refused to cash the check! She called me to tell me what was going on, so i called the branch, but there was no answer. I called the Citibank number on my card and spoke to a nice lady in kentucky who said it was the branch's discretion as to whether or not to cash a check over $5,000-.
I asked them to intervene. She said no problem, and called the branch explaining that she had me on the phone and i passed all their security tests and could they please cash the check. They refused! I am furious beyond words! There are plenty of places to put your money. This is the wrong place. After years of tolerating abusive fee practices, i finally was pushed over the edge. I learned the hard way. Don't you make that same mistake.

moving goldfish to 7b...
We are building a home about 10 minutes from the ocean/ bay in DE and I want to build a pond there and take my goldfish. We currently have a 1200 gallon pond, and I plan to make one about half the size.
The biggest concern is going from a spring water source to city water. How do I start to acclimate the fish to city water in their new home? Or do I do this during the moving process (the new place will be about 6 hours drive).
Predators. Although I once caught a heron at our current pond, and we have raccoons who only like to play in the pond and leave the fish be, I wonder if we will have to protect the fish somehow (nets, etc.). There seem to be way more birds in the area (and we are building the house near a wetland area, on a wooded lot).
And the moving process itself. How to move about 20 small-to-medium sized goldfish?
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions! Thanks!
How far is the move? Is there any option for waiting until water temperatures warm a bit, like into the 60's or so. This is their dormant time, and moving them would be very stressful.
As far as moving them, I would get a bunch of 5 gallon buckets with tight fitting lids, as many as it takes to take 2-3 fish per bucket and fill them half to two-thirds full. If you can get the new pond set up, move a few fish, then wait several days to move the rest, that would be best for establishing a good nitrogen cycle.
As far as the different water chemistry, it's hard to tell without knowing more about your well water and your city water. Coastal water supplies in this region are often pretty soft, so you'll probably want to doctor the pond water anyway. I always add some form of calcium carbonate like lime or oyster shell. Coral is also good. Goldies are pretty tolerant of sodium too, but many plants are not.
Yeah, you'll want to keep an eye on the birds. Being in the woods might actually be a good thing. Having the pond close to the house and having obstructions that make it more awkward for birds to get in and out can go a long way, but be ready to put a net over it if you start losing fish. You might also be on the lookout for snakes. Water and garter snakes are fish eaters.
I moved mine in a rubbermaid tub with the lid on. I ran the tubing from an air pump into the tub through already holes that were inside the handle area, plugged it into one of those electric plug converters that plug into your cigarette lighter. We had to drive 2 hours. I sat the tub into the new pond on a cement block until the water temps were the same and turned them loose. No body died. :c)
Thanks so much for the replies, they're very helpful. The house will start construction in April, so we probably won't be moving the fish until fall (unless our house sells sooner, but our new place won't be ready until August. We hope.) The trip is about 6 hours, and I am certain that the water supply will be city water. I guess that I could fill it and let it sit for a couple of weeks then move the fish down then.
The fish will think they've been taken on a Caribbean vacation-- they're currently under 4" of ice. :) Very hardy little guys, they are.
The water chemistry may be very different - I would want to test both waters to see how different they are (with my new water test set - good to have anyway). If they are very different (or you don't know) you'd have to go very gradually with adding new water to old because sudden drastic shifts in Ph and such can be bad and even lethal. So, maybe youd want to bring along some containers of the old water so you could be very gradual with them adjusting to the new water.
Watch out for the heat also in August. We moved in May once and used buckets to move our tropical aquarium fish and almost lost several buckets of fish when the water went to nearly 100. They were the last items loaded and first out but it was exceptionally hot that day. Maybe take an ice chest full of cubes made from your water at the old house. Just saying.
I agree with the fellas here. Making sure that the new water is the same as the old water is very important. You can try keeping some of the water in storage with the fishies while in transit and ensure that the new water has a bit of the old in it so that it's easier for fishies to acclimate. Transport wise, I don't think there's any real safe way to do it unless you call in the professionals, but all the same keep us updated and good luck!

Elyse Walker Pink Party 2013 Red Carpet
Pink or Red: Whose Hue Do You Like Best?
by Leah Melby
Like us on Facebook
We love a theme party, and Hollywood, with its well-documented Halloween costumes, is no different! This weekend, it was all about the pink at Elyse Walker's Pink Party, with proceeds benefiting the women's cancer program at Cedars-Sinai. Hostess Anne Hathaway followed the dress code to a tee, sporting a melon pink shift with a sheer band at the bottom. Rachel Zoe chose a lighter hue in one of her signature shapes, the maxi, while Kate Beckinsale stood out by rocking the color's bolder cousin. Rather than go in pink, she chose a long-sleeved red number from Donna Karan and finished it off with Pluma cuffs. Tell us, which would you want to wear?

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 32-bit vs. 64-bit Performance
Going back years we have run 32-bit vs. 64-bit Linux benchmarks. While the results seldom change, we keep running them as the question of choosing between a 32-bit and 64-bit Linux distribution image is still a popular question... These tests drive in a surprising amount of traffic and I continue to be flabbergasted by the number of people still asking this question when nearly all modern x86 Intel/AMD hardware fully supports x86_64 and it generally means much better performance. Usually the only caveat in not using a 64-bit Linux image is if running a system with less than 2GB of RAM.

Generous Ko kick-started the Australian Open after-party
Lydia Ko was all class after her victory at the Women's Australian Open last weekend.
Great story from Mark Hayes at Golf Australia today on Lydia Ko's classy gesture after her win at the Women's Australian Open.
After Ko's impressive two-stroke victory at Royal Melbourne on Sunday, Ko reportedly slipped an envelope containing $500 to the club's assistant general manager to put on the bar for the post-tournament staff party.
Hayes writes that Royal Melbourne's chief executive was gobsmacked:
Ko wandered up the clubhouse stairs to make her last brief scheduled stop at the champion's cocktail party, then quietly slipped an envelope containing $500 into the hands of assistant GM Andrea Watson to kickstart the staff's "after-party".
Unknown James Hahn wins a PGA Tour playoff: video
Even after making a PGA Tour event playoff, one golf fan still didn't know who James Hahn was.
Like many golf fans, our knowledge of James Hahn is mostly limited to his Gangnam Style dance after a birdie that made headlines a few years ago. But on Sunday, Hahn won his first PGA Tour title, winning the Northern Trust Open at Riviera by beating Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey in a playoff.
He may be better known after the victory, but after the round Hahn recounted how on young golf fan didn't know who he was or that he'd even made a playoff.
Lydia Ko becomes youngest ever winner of Women's Australian Open
Lydia Ko plays it tall, cool and smart to win the 2015 Women's Australian Open.
Lydia Ko has become the youngest ever winner of the Women's Australian Open when she beat Korean Amy Yang by two strokes at Royal Melbourne today.
Ko was tied for the lead with Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn going into the final round. Jutanugarn's run at the title fell away after three bogey's in her opening seven holes but the big challenge came from South Korea's Amy Yang.
Gary Player on how to play bunker shots, and more: video
The greatest ever bunker player tells us how to play bunker shots. Listen and watch.
Gary Player has released a new DVD titled Gary Player: A Game for Life and there have been a few clips from it released on YouTube.
In his usual, audacious, enthusiastic style, Player takes us through how he used to hit practice bunker shots – using a sand wedge all the way through to a 5-iron.
Player's comments on bunkers placed well away from the greens are particularly interesting, as his final bunker shot from this clip.
YouTube's most popular golf teaching professional visits Australia: video
Shawn Clement is one of YouTube's most popular golf swing teachers and he recently made the long trip to Australia.
Shawn Clement has over 38,000 subscribers to his golf teaching YouTube channel and the Canadian golf teaching guru was in Australia recently to present his unique style of teaching to some keen golfers at Bonnie Doon.
On behalf of Inside Golf, I went out to chat to Clement about his unique style, using the internet to teach, and talk about how technology has changed the way you teach the golf swing.
Butch Harmon on how to make the short putts: video
Butch Harmon on making those short putts.
A short video from short game guru Butch Harmon on Golf Digest made an impact on me during the week.
Watch and learn. And don't wish any in over the weekend.
Golfer tries bunker shot from his knees, and fails: video
This unfortunate incident has been doing the rounds of late – to the appreciation of golfers everywhere.
You may recall Tiger Woods playing his miraculous bunker shot from his knees in the 2012 Open Championship. The result, given the circumstances was a very good one. The ball finished on the green and Woods was left unscathed.
The same can't be said for this poor bloke who gave it his best shot and ended up with a face full of sand.
In fear of the optimistic golfer
It's a refreshing thing to hear optimism on the golf course.
This article originally appeared in the January 2015 issue of Inside Golf where Michael Green writes a monthly column.
Many of us weekend hackers are so focussed on the golf shot that finished in the water, the duffed chip shot and the missed putts that we forget about the good shots we played.
Nevermind the double-bogey, what about that great recovery shot to get you back on the fairway?
Women's golf team trick shot video
Golf trick shot videos abound these days but this one has been doing the rounds this week is pretty good.
San Diego State University women's golf team had some time on their hands and compiled a whole range of golf tricks shots – some yo've seen before, some you haven't. All set to that Mark Ronson track that is everywhere right now.
Glenelg Golf Club: course review
Not as well known as some other Adelaide golf courses, Glenelg Golf Club is fast becoming one of Australia's best.
A stinking hot Adelaide day would mean only the toughest (or perhaps craziest) golfers would be enduring the heat. So things were pretty quiet as made my way to Glenelg Golf Club late in the afternoon, still with plenty of time to fit in eighteen holes.
Glenelg Golf Club is situated on the western side of Adelaide, just 15 minutes out of the city.
Course Review: Adelaide Shores
There are few golfing facilities in Australia than can cater for the range of golfers like Adelaide Shores.
As one of Adelaide's most popular public golf clubs it has two courses, a driving range, a golf academy and a pro-shop that is as good as any. The place would be almost unrecognisable to anyone who hasn't played it since Pete Ormsby (Father of Wade Ormsby) took over the management of the facility.
The Links Shell Cove: Golf Course Review
After a tough opening 10 years ago, The Links Shell Cove is now a much more enjoyable place to play golf.
The Links Shell Cove opened in 2004 and all I heard was how difficult it was. Reports kept filtering from Kiama (about 90 minutes drive south of Sydney) about how hard the fairways were and how deep the rough was. It just didn't sound like an inviting place to play golf at all and luckily, the club thought the same thing.
Five golf swing tips from Rory McIlroy: Golf Digest
Let's kick off the week with a few tips from a guy that should know a thing or two about the golf swing.
Ok, so Rory McIlroy didn't make the cut in his first tournament back on the PGA Tour in 2015, but I keep coming back to these golf tips from the world number one.
The series of golf tips from Rory McIlroy, from a late-2014 issue of Golf Digest come across as quite personable and the tips are clearly written, not to mention hugely important.
2015 Women's Australian Open: round 2 video highlights
After fog delayed play early in the morning, world number one Lydia Ko soon rose to the top of the leaderboard at the 2015 Women's Australian Open.
After two rounds, Ko is tied for the lead along with Korea's Ha Na Jang and Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn at 6-under par.
Piercy needs four shots to escape bunkers at the famous 10th hole at Riviera: video
Scott Piercy found how difficult the great par-4 10th hole is a t Riviera Country Club.
The par-4 10th hole at Riviera Country Club in California is one of the most famous short par-4's in golf. The drivable hole brings with it an alluring chance of birdie but an equally good chance of making bogey, or worse.
As Scott Piercy found out this morning during the opening round of the Northern Trust Open.
2015 Women's Australian Open: Round 1 video highlights
A bogey-free opening round sees Korea's Ilhee leading the Women's Australian Open.
Korea's Ilhee Lee leads the Women's Australian Open after the first round at Royal Melbourne today. Lee's bogey-free, 5-under round of 68 sees her one shot clear of Thailand-s Arita Jutanugarn.
World number one Lydia Ko has started well and finished the day at 3-under par along with Canada's Alena Sharp and Korea's Min Seo Kwak.
Darren Clarke and Davis Love named 2016 Ryder Cup captains

Darren Clarke and Davis Love III have been named captain's of the European and United States teams respectively, for the 2016 Ryder Cup to be held at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota.
Clarke was odds on to get the captaincy for Europe with only Miguel Jimenez looking like a serious contender. Jimenez said that while he would like the captaincy, he would be doing his best to be a playing part of the European Team.
2015 Women's Australian Open: Lydia Ko press conference video
World number one Lydia Ko fronted the media yesterday ahead of the opening round of the Women's Australian Open at Royal Melbourne.
The 17-year-old has been on top of the Rolex World Golf Rankings for only a few weeks but is already talking about retirement. Ko has a very sound head on her shoulders and the full interview makes for fascinating viewing as she chatted to the media about the pressures of being world #1, studying psychology at college and the delay in getting her driver's license.

Light and Shadow Reincarnating Into 2.0 Via Brain Surgery
My personhood warranty seemed to go out between the spring of my 64th and the autumn of my 65th years. I experienced three unexpected traumatic hospitalizations for intestinal blockage, knee replacement and brain tumor removal. This hallucinogenic journey brought me an intimate understanding of the proverbial light beckoning at the end of the tunnel. This recuperative journal contains poetry,Collected Thoughts on the Nature of Reality
We live in perilous times. We face a host of problems, mostly self-created, that appear to be insurmountable. We need to move beyond the impulses of the primate mind and its habit of separateness into a new human consciousness that would take us to a larger and deeper worldview, and change the way that we do things. Our old system of reality, which has underpinned our progress for the last 400An exploration of the meaning of life and existence informed by logic and science
Why does the universe exist and what are you supposed to do in it? This question has been addressed by religions since time immemorial, but popular answers often fail to account for obvious aspects of reality. Indeed, if God knows everything, why do we need to learn through pain and suffering? If God is omnipotent, why are we needed to do good? If the universe is fundamentally good, why are wars,Dialogues on the Nature of the Universe and the Search for Reality
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered "What is the universe?"

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: Lena Dunham, Gawker, Media, Books, literature, Writing, Celebrity, Entertainment News
Last Friday, Gawker published "Girls" creator Lena Dunham's proposal for her $3.7 million book deal. The book, "Not That Kind of Girl," is pitched as a funny lady-advice book about life and relationships. The assumption is that whatever Dunham might lack in experience she makes up for in wit.
But last week Gawker got ahold of the proposal, publishing it and annotating 12 choice lines (one of which mentions that her "vegan dinner party" was featured in the New York Times) with a dose of snark. Dunham's lawyer asked Gawker to take the proposal down (and it did). But now Deadline reports that Dunham wants the 12 lines to be taken down, too.
Deadline notes that "this is hardball":
This is hardball: Harder represented himself to Gawker's attorney as "litigation counsel for author and actress Lena Dunham [and] Lena Dunham has retained an attorney to demand that Gawker remove 12 quotes from her book propsal from our site," an insider tells me. (I hear Random House isn't bitching to Gawker, only Dunham.)
Instead of complying, Gawker has instead responded like so:
Update: Lena Dunham's personal litigation counsel Charles Harder has contacted Gawker to relay a demand from his client, Lena Dunham, that we remove the above quote from our web site. In order to clarify our intent in quoting the above matter from Dunham's proposal, we have decided to append the following commentary: The quoted sentence demonstrates that Dunham is incapable of conceiving a rationale for writing that doesn't serve the goal of drawing attention to herself.
To many, it might seem that the wildly successful Dunham is being sensitive over the lines, but after all, she writes for "glory" and not money, and Gawker's unflattering piece does not give Dunham either.

This is the Sermon for Reminiscere Sunday -- March 1, 2015 at
Shaped by the Cross Lutheran Church
Laurie, Missouri
Genesis 32:22-32
Now he arose that same night and took his two wives and his two maids and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. And he took them and sent them across the stream. And he sent across whatever he had. Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. And when he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him. Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But he said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." So he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."
And he said, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed." Then Jacob asked him and said, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And he blessed him there.
So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, "I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved." Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh. Therefore, to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the socket of the thigh, because he touched the socket of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.

Got a New Name
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." So said the Bard, William Shakespeare. Names matter. We know that. But they don't change who or what they are describing, ordinarily. Whatever word you use to describe it, "chocolate" is chocolate, an apple is an apple, and flower – say, a rose, is a rose. The name may make you think about it differently. Some names are pretty, and some are ugly. Some names are inviting, and some are intimidating. Much of that response is cultural. But whether you call your miniature dachshund "Buttons" or "Bruiser", you still have a little dog – the same little dog.
When God names, however, His names mean something. What He calls a thing - or a person - defines that thing, and often determines what it is, and what it is like. He called Adam, "Adam". His name means both "man" and "dirt" or "soil". It tells us his origin – and strangely, it speaks of his end, when God says "By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for from it you were taken." The word "ground" is "Adam". Eve means "Life", and she was so called because she was the mother of all who have lived or shall live - except Adam. Abraham's name was changed to reflect the promise of God. His old name meant "Exalted Father." His new name means "Father of a Multitude." Our text is another instance of God giving a new name, and our theme is, "Got a New Name."
The story is well known. Jacob is returning home after twenty years away. He has no idea how his brother Esau is going to feel about him. He has sent gifts on ahead, and had divided his possessions and his family into two groups, hoping that even if his brother is hostile, that one group may escape and survive if the other does not. Tonight, the last night before he meets his brother, Jacob takes his family across the Jabbok River, presumably for their safety, and then he goes back across to wait the night alone.
In the night, Jacob is confronted by a man who takes to wrestling with him. Apparently there was not a lot of conversation, just down in the dust wrestling. He fights all night – a slow version of one of those great action movie battles, I suppose. It appears that Jacob didn't know if he was having a vision or if it was real -- or that somehow he knew this was no ordinary man. Finally, the dawn is breaking, and the man says, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." Jacob says. "I will not let you go unless you bless me." That is why it seems that Jacob knew something that the text doesn't tell us.
Oddities multiply, as the man asks Jacob, "What is your name?" How could you fight all night long and not know the man's name? It seems strange to me. But you had to have the name of your adversary to curse him or to bless him, according to traditions older than this account, so Jacob told the man his name. Then the man gives Jacob a new name, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed." Now Jacob understands that he has been dealing with God – or one of God's angels. Then, Jacob asks for His name. Remember, to have the name is to have power over the one whose name you know! That is why the answer is so cryptic – "Why is it that you ask my name?" Jacob could not get what God later gave to Moses.
Now Jacob has a new name. He doesn't use it all of the time, because second names, particularly ones like this, given by God, are protection from those who would use your name to manipulate you. This understanding of the power of names is why the New Testament makes a point about the new names given to the people of God, and the secret name of the Savior, and such things. Names give power, and names give access, and names given by God means something. Jacob got a new name – which is called "a blessing". Jacob demanded a blessing and got the name, and he seemed perfectly satisfied with it. And then, Jacob discovered that it wasn't just a vision – when he tried to walk, he found that his hip had been thrown out of socket by the man's touch.
Now what does this all mean to us? We accept it as historically accurate, but why is reported? Why is it our text today? We ask the Lutheran question, "What does this mean?"
The answer is that we all wrestle with God from time to time. Jacob did it physically. We do it in prayer and in temptation. We don't do this wrestling to get a new name, but because we've got a new name. Our new name is "Christian." We wear the name of Christ because He bought us for Himself, and called us by name in Baptism, and gave us that new name to wear for ourselves. Revelation 2:17 even speaks of our salvation as getting a new name. It says, "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it."
Our new name is the truth of our forgiveness, and that Jesus has taken our sins and we wear His righteousness. That is the meaning of the passage that says, "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." In Christ, God sees us as His only-begotten Son, pure and precious. We wear Jesus as a new name, not ours by right, but by gift of grace. And with that new name comes all the blessings and riches of heaven and life eternal and of the love of God for us. And since we have the love of God, as the love of a Father, He disciplines us and trains us through trials, and troubles, and sorrows, and temptations.
It is because we wear that new name that we wrestle with God. Without that new name we are unfit and ill-prepared, and we are without what it takes to survive a confrontation with God. But with the new name, God comes not to destroy us, but to train us and strengthen us. So He gives us worries and cares, temptations and sorrows, and all that life throws at us to strengthen us and teach us to call on Him and never give up and to wrestle with God in prayer every day. But He doesn't do those things to hurt us, or to frustrate us, but to bless us, just as He did with Jacob.
Jacob couldn't beat God! Jacob couldn't even survive the night against God if God wanted to conquer or destroy. He wanted to make Jacob a fighter, teach him tenacity – and faithfulness. Jacob was already God's child of promise. He had already spoken with God and received God's assurances. He had the promise! But He still had fear! So God came to wrestle with him and teach him endurance and show him what strength he had, with the Lord on His side.
That strength is the strength that you have! You have that same strength to use and to call upon in life's wrestlings. "Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you!" Listen to what the Bible says: "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Or, "For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'" Or how about, "Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you," declares the LORD, "and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel."
This is what God is teaching here. Jacob defeats the man, only to discover that the man is God. Jacob won because God strengthened him for the battle – something Jacob understood as soon as he knew who it was that he had wrestled. The account of Jacob is intended to teach us that we should never stop, give up, or give in, even when we feel for all the world as though God Himself were against us. The outward sense of it doesn't matter. Even if it were God against us, because of Jesus Christ, God is with us to strengthen us. The struggles and the temptations and the sorrows are all intended by God as tools to teach and prepare and train us as His children for the life He would have us to live. Only, we need to endure and persevere in our wrestlings.
And like Jacob, if we do, God will bless us. There is no blessing applied to giving up or quitting. Only faithfulness and perseverence has the promise of blessings. Jesus told the story of the Widow and the Unjust Judge for the expressed purpose of teaching us to pray always and never lose heart. That is the message here too. We will need to wrestle with God, because He will choose to make us do it. And when we wrestle with Him, in prayer, and in troubles, He will give us the victory at the proper time, and then He will bless us!
This teaching is not some novel interpretation of the Old Testament, but the consistent teaching of the entire Bible. Romans 5:3-5: And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Knowing this truth about wrestling with God, we exult in our tribulations, according to Paul. We can exult because our sufferings are no longer simply misfortunes, but evidences to us that God is at work in us and for us. He is working a blessing for those who persevere. It is part and parcel of having that new name – God uses it all to build us up in hope, and hope does not disappoint.
James 1:2-4: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
We don't normally consider it joy when we encounter trials – But James says that we should. God is working in us and on us and for us. In every circumstance in life, God is at work! We don't always know what God is trying to work in us, but if we trust Him, we know that it is good. When we have wrestled with God, and endured, God will bless us just as He blessed Jacob.
And along the way, He will strengthen us. This holy meal before us today is given for just that purpose. It is the true body and blood of Jesus Christ, for our blessing, our comfort, and our strengthening that we might endure faithful to the end. Here is forgiveness, so that we know nothing stands between us and the love of God. Here is Christ Himself, present in us for our blessing. Here in the Holy Supper we got a new name! It is the name of Christ, who is in us from this eating and drinking.
And so, Jacob's wrestlings teach us. They teach us that we will also wrestle. They teach us that we can and will prevail, if we remain faithful, because God will be our strength. And they teach us that if we wrestle with endurance, just as Jacob did, God will bless us. It is true while we live, and it is true when this life is over. Rev. 2:10 says: Be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life. And that is true victory. And that is true blessing. And that is, by the way, where we will finally get the new, new name, Rev.2:17 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
(Let the people say Amen)

The crab is really cute just like those baby crabs you find crawling on the beach. The silver is shiny and I do appreciate the free shipping!
