You better get it right because if you don't, you'll burn in hell. And Michelle Bachman says the end times are nigh.
Pick up almost any English version of the Bible, and turn to Revelation 13:18. It will read something like, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." While this Biblical verse may not be the best known, the number six hundred and sixty six contained within it is recognized by most. This number's association with the last days' character known as the antichrist has caused it to be popularized, sometimes glamorized, and often feared by religious and non-religious people alike. However, some have cast doubt on the authenticity of this reading, and asked the question, "Is 666 really the number of the beast?" For example, the margin of the New Revised Standard Version reads, "Other ancient authorities read six hundred sixteen." The notes in the New American Standard Bible say, "One early manuscript reads 616." Furthermore, news articles have appeared with such ominous titles as, "Beast's Real Mark Devalued to '616'" and "666 Wrong Number of Prophetic Beast?" All of these things raise the question, "What is the real number of the beast as recorded in Revelation 13:18?"
Answering this question accurately is of great importance for two reasons. First, this verse was not penned in a casual work of literature. Its origin is the Bible, God's Word. How important is the Bible? Deuteronomy 8:3 states clearly that, "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD." The Book of Revelation gives clear warning that its words are precious, and are not to be tampered with. In Revelation's closing verses, we find Jesus saying,
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." – Revelation 22:18-19.
Knowing the number of the beast as given to John by God and not changing it is essential, if we are to please the Lord. The second reason for seeking an answer to this question is found in Revelation 13:18, the verse under discussion. It begins, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast." It is God's will that mankind gain wisdom and understanding from His Word with respect to end time Bible prophecy and the signs given therein – including the number of the beast. Only by having an accurate understanding of the number of the beast can mankind successfully interpret Bible prophecy as it relates to the person of the antichrist. Given that we live in the last days, where many of these prophecies are now being fulfilled, this understanding is essential. Because Revelation 13:18 is found in God's unchanging Word, and because we know that God wants us to understand Bible prophecy, let's look at the evidence and answer the question, "The number of the beast – 666 or 616?"
Understanding why some question the reading "666" in Revelation 13:18 as well as determining the correct reading of this verse requires an investigation into the area of New Testament studies known as textual criticism. Textual criticism is a branch of philology that studies manuscripts or printings to determine the original form of a text. New Testament textual criticism seeks to study the large body of manuscripts, early quotations, lectionaries (readings used for church services), and translations in an effort to ascertain the accurate reading of the New Testament. Some would ask, "Why is this necessary? Don't we have the original manuscripts, as penned by their authors?" The answer unfortunately is no. No original New Testament writings exist today. However, we do have an abundance of New Testament manuscripts written in the original Greek language. In addition we have many citations of the New Testament contained in quotations from early church writers and lectionaries, as well as numerous ancient translations into other languages such as Latin, Coptic, and Syriac. With such a large number of documents spanning such a long period of time, it is no surprise that some differences have emerged between manuscripts, including those of the book of Revelation. New Testament textual criticism seeks to understand and resolve these differences. Textual criticism is an area of study that is very deep and very wide. In fact, some scholars are dedicated to nothing but the study of New Testament textual criticism. In light of that, it is impossible to present a complete treatment of the textual factors that go into determining the number of the beast in this article. In addition, research in this field continues and new discoveries are continually made. However, what follows is an overview of key factors that help to explain the questions and seek to provide reasonable answers.
According to Aland's "The Text of the New Testament", a well known text on New Testament textual criticism, over 2300 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament exist today [Aland, "Text of NT" 83]. Of these manuscripts, more than 280 contain some or all of the Book of Revelation. Examining Revelation 13:18 in these manuscripts reveals that here are differences between them. Some manuscripts spell out the number using Greek words, some use letters to represent numbers (similar to Roman numerals). Although the vast majority of manuscripts give the number of the beast as six hundred sixty six, four (two pre-sixth century and two no longer existent post-eighth century) are known to state 616 as the number and one 11th century manuscript gives 665. This explains why the question about 666 vs. 616 has been raised. Although one could argue that the fact that the majority of manuscripts contain 666 closes the question, textual criticism acknowledges that not all manuscripts are created equal. Some are more reliable than others, based on numerous factors, including age, condition, and history. So, let's look at some of the oldest and most respected Greek manuscripts that contain this passage.
Much of the recent stir about 616 has arisen due to renewed studies of a group of very old manuscripts originally discovered in 1895 by archaeologists at the site of an ancient garbage dump in Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Many of the Oxyrhynchus manuscripts consist of New Testament papyri, and are very old when compared to other manuscripts. One of them named P115 (also called P. Oxy. 4499), dates from around 300 AD and contains some or all of 12 chapters from the Book of Revelation, including Revelation 13:18. It records 616 as the number of the beast using Greek letters (see figure 1). Because of this manuscript's age, some have jumped to the conclusion that this must be the original reading. However, this conclusion cannot be made. Other evidence must be considered. For example, three manuscripts from the Chester Beatty Papyri include portions of the New Testament. One of these named P47, dates from the 3rd century and contains chapters 9-17 of Revelation. In its reading of Revelation 13:18, it states that the number of the beast is 666, using Greek letters (see figure 2). So, two equally old papyri have both readings – 666 and 616.
Other ancient manuscripts contain similar differences. The uncial manuscripts consist of those written with Greek capital letters. Around 100 of these date from before the 7th century. Six uncials are known to contain Revelation 13 [Aland, "Text of NT" Chart 6K] and are noteworthy in this discussion. Codex a(Aleph – the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet), also known as Sinaiticus, was discovered by Constantin von Tischendorf in St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai in 1859. It dates from the fourth century and is one of the most revered NT manuscripts, due to its age as well as the fact that it contains all of the New Testament. Its reading of Revelation 13:18 denotes 666 as the number of the beast, spelled out with Greek words. Codex Alexandrinus (A/02), a fifth century uncial as well as Codex P/025 of the ninth century, and codices 046 and Codex 051 of the 10th century all agree with Codex ain their reading of 666 (with slight spelling differences). However, Codex C/04 of the fifth century has 616 spelled out with Greek letters as the number of the beast. So, it agrees with P115 as the only other ancient witness of this alternate text.
In summary, of the almost 300 Greek manuscripts containing Revelation, almost all of them state 666 as the number of the beast. The two oldest papyri are evenly divided in their reading, and over 80%of uncial manuscripts hold the reading of 666.
In addition to the evidence of Greek manuscripts, we can also look to Biblical quotations found in early church writings, as well as ancient translations of the New Testament. One early church writer by the name of Tyconius recognized 616 as the number of the beast in his 4th century Latin version. In contrast, the writings of Origen and Hippolytus (both of the 3rd century) attest strongly to the value of 666 as the correct reading [Burgon 136]. Most noteworthy however are the statements of Irenaeus, the 2nd century bishop of Lyon, known to be a disciple of Polycarp. Polycarp is believed to have been a disciple of John, the author of Revelation. In his treatise, "Against Heresies," Irenaeus deals with the subject of Revelation 13 and the number of the beast. In Book 5, Chapter 28 of this work, he states that the number of the beast is 666. In addition, Chapter 30 of the same work makes the following statement regarding the number 666:
"Such, then, being the state of the case, and this number being found in all the most approved and ancient copies [of the Apocalypse], and those men who saw John face to face bearing their testimony [to it]; while reason also leads us to conclude that the number of the name of the beast, [if reckoned] according to the Greek mode of calculation by the [value of] the letters contained in it, will amount to six hundred and sixty and six…(portion elided)…I do not know how it is that some have erred following the ordinary mode of speech, and have vitiated the middle number in the name, deducting the amount of fifty from it, so that instead of six decads (author's note: a decad is 10) they will have it that there is but one. [I am inclined to think that this occurred through the fault of the copyists, as is wont to happen, since numbers also are expressed by letters; so that the Greek letter which expresses the number sixty was easily expanded into the letter Iota of the Greeks.] Others then received this reading without examination; some in their simplicity, and upon their own responsibility, making use of this number expressing one decad; while some, in their inexperience, have ventured to seek out a name which should contain the erroneous and spurious number." [Roberts 558]
In this illuminating passage, Irenaeus states that 666 is the reading found in the most reliable copies of Revelation, including those copied by men who saw John. In addition, he acknowledges the existence of the 616 reading, but considers it erroneous, attributing it to copying errors and the failure of some to properly examine the authenticity of the alternate reading.
As the knowledge of Greek decreased in the ancient world, many translations of the Greek New Testament into the common languages of the people were created. These early translations agree in their readings of Revelation 13:18. The 5th century Armenian, the Syriac of the 6th century, the Old Latin of the 13th century, the Coptic, and the Latin Vulgate all agree that the number of the beast is 666.
While New Testament textual criticism seeks to understand and resolve differences among versions of the Greek New Testament, our confidence in the text of the Bible is not reliant upon the intellect of men or the tools of science. Most importantly, we have a promise from God that He will always preserve the integrity of His Word. Psalm 100:5 states that, "His truth endureth to all generations." With this promise, we can rest, knowing that God has carefully watched over the transmission of the New Testament from its original writing to the present day. Whereas 666 has always been the dominant reading of Revelation 13:18, it seems clear through faith in God's promises that this is the original reading of the verse as penned by John on Patmos.
"And his number is Six hundred threescore and six." This statement from the last days' prophecy of Revelation 13 gives a clue to the identity of the antichrist. God's stated purpose in this verse is that we understand it correctly. This is especially true for those of us who live in the days immediately preceding the coming of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, some have questioned the accuracy of 666 as the number of the beast. Some have suggested that 616 is the real number. However, the majority of almost 300 Greek manuscripts, including the oldest and most valued, along with the evidence of early church writings and translations, all stand together as a great witness to the authenticity of 666 against a rather small set of four manuscripts and one early writer that make their claim for 616.

666 is correct..because the majority say so. the trouble is that it cannot be proven. at the foundation of this is belief. the loudest voice wins.if it be true or not. i'm still unsure if it is 666 or 616.
Original Greek text shows a DECIMAL MODIFIER at end of text
This implies a number 6 Hundred 3 Score & DECIMAL 6 and
from Solar Mortality Theory a generation is a 22.2yr solar cycle and 3 solar cycles is (3 x 22.2) = 66.6 years so it takes a solar

Neither 666 nor 616 could be the number of the beast. I'm surprised that it is universally excepted that one or the other is correct. All wise biblical scholars, teachers and clergy believe that. If you read the passage, it's telling you different. I think comprehension is a thing of the past. People listen and repeat, as in programmed or brainwashed.
The passage says; this takes wisdom. Let the one with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is a mans number and his number is 666. You can use 616 if you believe that to be correct. It doesn't matter in this comment, because neither are correct. Take a good look at the passage. it says you need wisdom and understanding to calculate the number of the beast. The next sentence mentions 666, but if 666 is the number of the beast, then why does it begin by saying you need wisdom, understanding, and a calculation is necessary. Why would anyone need any of those 3 things if the number we're seeking is given in the text? I can't believe nobody understands that. I'm interpreting what is written,…if I'm wrong, please explain.
The only conundrum is why are we given 666 if it's not the number of the beast. It obviously is a number that needs to be used to calculate the number of the beast. So how do we calculate and what is the calculation based on? That's where the wisdom and understanding come in. Have I figured it out? No, but I'm working on it. I can say with certainty, I have a better chance than anyone of figuring it out, because everyone believes 666 is correct. All of you that believe 666 or 616 is the number of the beast, you're wrong and if it's crucial to understand the truth,…….. you are lost. Don't take my word, as I'm sure you won't, but read the text a hundred times if necessary. Then you only need ask yourself one question. Why does it say it takes wisdom and understanding and then a calculation is needed to find the number of the beast? If it's given in the next sentence like all of you believe, then you have to accept the first 2 sentences are wrong or a trick. Does anyone believe the bible is wrong or plays tricks on us? If not, then I'm right. There's no other way.
I'm open to hear skepticism or ideas, and please correct me if I'm wrong. I always include that because none of us is always right, so I humble myself to anyone that has a logical retort to my assertion.,……………Mark
Mark I completely agree with you. I decided to re read revelation, for no reason other than that's were I was lead. I go to that verse and I was so confused. I had to re read the verse because I could not get why John said it would take wisdom to CALCULATE the number of the beast. And then in the next sentence give us his "number" that would defeat the purpose of the entire previous portion of the the verse. I got on the computer to google if anyone else saw what I saw and wham here I am at your comment. I would love to hear from you on what you have researched. I know its been a while since you posted this but hopefully you get this

Everyone seems to think 666 ( or 616 ) is the number of the beast. Every pastor, priest, preacher and layman that I've heard all believe that the correct number of the beast is 666. I believe everyone is wrong, let me explain why.
It's difficult to say everyone is wrong, especially about something that is universally held to be true. All of the clergy and layman that I've heard believe that 666( or 616) is the number of the beast, but that can't be correct.
the passage reads(paraphrasing); this takes wisdom. let the one with understanding calculate the number of the beast,…..for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. I'm a person that has wisdom, and I think I have understanding, so let me calculate the number. The question is, why would anyone need wisdom or understanding, or why would it be necessary to make a calculation,…………if the number is given to us in the text?
There is no way possible, in my opinion, that either 666 or 616 can be the number of the beast. If I'm wrong, then why does it state that wisdom and understanding are needed, when the number is given to you? There would be no need to calculate anything,…….if the number is given. It makes no sense, and I think everyone just follows what they hear and then repeats it without thinking. if i'm wrong, then please explain how?
i don't know what the number is, but i know it's not 666 nor 616. Everyone focusing on those numbers and watching for them as a sign will never know the truth. The premise is wrong, so the answer will never be forthcoming.
The reason that wisdom and understanding are needed is clear; the statement is mystifying in that it doesn't seem to follow logically.
A mans' number is 666, and from that beginning, we have to arrive at a number for the beast. That means we need to understand the relationship this man has to the beast, and what relevance his number has to the number we seek for the beast. There are any number of ways to think about this, thus the need for wisdom and understanding…………….. Does anyone agree with me?
Good luck in trying to figure out the number, I've been trying but no answer yet………………….
Here's some clues I've uncovered by using some
wisdom and calculations from solar scientists
In 1993 a Solar Mortality Theory was found to
imply that one solar cycle (22.2yrs) is one human generation so apply that to Rev13:18>
"Here is wisdom> let a Egyptian wiseman, a
solar scientist calculate this number from solar
observations to find that a man's LIFE SPAN is
about 3 solar cycles or 3 x 22.2yrs = 66.6 yrs
no more, no less> You can expect a Life Span
of about 3 generations, to become a Grand Pa'

solar scientists as I worked at NSO Nat'l Solar Observatory in 1993 when they discovered the

Hi, I believe in any versionj that is reputable, the entire message is: Love God (the first 4 commandments) and Love your neighbor the last 6 commandments- notice they were made for man, not for only the Jews- Rememberthis is the Message of Jesus and all- what we don't understand can be gone over later as there is enough for even the basic human with a basic mind can understand and Jesus knows the ones that do don have the reason to understand as He is the best judge and advocate we sinful humans could ever wish for. When a church or movement has idols, statues pray to saints, etc be wise- when good translations properly put in true meanings (as do not murder instead do not kill) that is reasonable and accurate. When a commandment says The instead of A (like the 4th) again be wise. Numbers and all are important but nothing is above what God wrote with His own finger (the 10 commandments) and the words of Jesus.
Acts 13
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 8
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Is there any significance to the fact that the sums of the chapter and verse 13:18 both equal the numbers that are in dispute (6+1+6=13, 6+6+6=18)?
Very well. And God, showed me this number "616" before I even knew it was a debate. I have the truth from the source. It's interesting that you are wise enough to calculate that…. Thanks.
Wow great article. The reason I was researching this subject was a statement I heard by Dr James White( A well respected NT Scholar, I like him) that the number of the Beast was 616 I'd never heard that before. I think there is a definite bias amongst evangelicals who are post-millenialists and hold a preterist interpretaion of Revelation. They are so determined it seems to undermine a literal interpretation of the Endtimes to the point where the accepted and majority of textual evidence concerning Rev 13:18 is merely put aside. I find this intellectually dishonest at best and heretical at worst.
666 isn't attributed to the anti-Christ. It's attributed to the two horned beast otherwise known as "the false prophet."
Since the Book of Revelation states: "…and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." This is 666 and not 616. The Bible is the word of God and it contains no lies or contradictions. If we start believing the deceivers who persuade us to believe otherwise, then we will start to believe other passages are incorrect as well.
But there are contradictions
Original Greek text contains DECIMAL modifier
at the end w/an Apostophe (Greek def. to turn)
So actual TRANSLATION was incorrect,
King James scribes were NOT mathmaticians
At that time Eurpopeans knew nothing of the
Decimal system, they all used Fractions so
they simply Mis-Interpreted what was written
Can't believe everything thats written as most
things are up to interpretation by the writer
The Book of Revelation is marvelous ,ingenious and entertaining piece of religious fiction . . . too bad so many treat is a reality.
I can't believe we are here, at the door of Truly the last days. I had a scare of breast cancer and going through the tests, I wouldn't allow them to put those small titanium. Chips in me, so if they have to go back in the breast,they could find the lump. It scares me some times thinking about having my head chopped off or being shot, but I would. Iwould have to. I won't take the mark. Jesus has done so much for me,it's the least I could go through for him. Amen? God bless
I recently had a really bad bout with a cold that would not go away….and still slightly lingers at this writing. This all began in February of this year and it is now May. Finally, I went to a healing ministry at our church for blessing so that the Holy Spirit could work on me. Why am I telling you this? Well, as I sat there, they brought out the Holy oil and told me to put my hands out in front of me. They then anointed my forehead and the palms of my hands with the Holy oil before praying a blessing over me. I didn't think too much about it until later.
About a week ago, I was watching a religious(for lack of a better word) program on television about holy oil. They were warning that you need to be careful of who is anointing you with the oil because if they are not living their life appropriately through God's teachings, they could easily open a "door" to you by transferring their evil spirits to you via this Holy oil. They said that you should always know the character of the person who is anointing you. That made sense to me and again, I didn't think anything of it….until later.
That night, I woke up in a sweat because I don't know if I was dreaming or my brain was connecting dots, but I suddenly realized(wondered?) if the holy oil is the tool that would deliver the mark of the beast. Now, please hear me out before dismissing this idea.
In the Catholic Church, Holy oil is a big thing and they believe in this transference. Most churches do. If the Church in the End Times is to be lead by Rome…how do we know that it isn't the Roman Catholic Church? If that is the case, and people are ignorant about the Bible…most have seen scenes of the symbolism within the Roman Catholic Church either in movies, visiting with friends or relatives, through the news media, or by being or originally being a member of the Roman Catholic Church. If they really believe that the anti christ is the messiah and are told to show their devotion by worshiping the beast, then they will have to take the mark to show their allegiance. Now, a lot of people might resist getting a chip or a tattoo in their hand or in their forehead, but most would think that it was a very innocent gesture to be blessed by the church with holy oil. It could be like Conformation within the Catholic Church that takes place now. It is a way for young and old to show their allegiance to Jesus. That is when they give their life to Jesus/God…and they are anointed by the area bishop with holy oil. It is during that time, that the Holy Spirit is activated within that individual. So, what is to stop the church, being lead in the end times by an antichrist, from giving conformation to new followers who are showing their allegiance to the anti christ…even if out of ignorance. It would be a method to do something that had been done for centuries and nobody would think twice about this "innocent" act.
Now, the part that I can't figure out is that you cannot trade or sell without the mark. But, maybe there will be a supernatural "mark" from the anointing that would allow others to recognize one another. I don't have that answer….just something to ponder on…could it be that the mark is an "innocent" blessing with "holy" oil that nobody would think twice about? And if the person administering had questionable character and housed evil spirits…that those spirits would then gain access and open permission to the individual as a result of this "blessing"? I don't know for sure, but it sounds plausible to me. If nothing else, I will never again allow anyone to anoint me with holy oil unless I know them well enough to know that they are baptized in the Holy Spirit and are born again through Jesus Christ. I will never again take it for granted that that is a given.
Vicki, this is just my opinion but I don't think you have to worry. Remember, Samuel anointed Saul with oil when he was made king of the Israelites. David also was anointed with oil by Samuel. I think the mark of the beast will be much more prominent, like possibly a chip under the skin like they do pets or a scanning of the eye, or a national id card. God bless.
I hope that your fever has broken.
You received this information from a TV preacher, for lack of a better word, what was he selling?
666 was the number given to Ceaser Nero because of his persecutions of the Christians. He persecuted them for 42 months before his death. He also is the Emperor that burned Rome, remember?
My brother goes to this left wing assembly of God church that shows pictures of bill gates and rick Warren as roll models and he chipped himself and now these rfid or digital angle tags have a red square of infection about 4 inched by 4 inches on both of his lower legs and it gave him the aids virus
who put in the chip?
I have only heard of a vet doing it to a pet.
Are you also saying that the A of G is a liberal church?
It gave him the aids virus?
this should be given to the press and shouted out at the mountain tops.
With all do respect but " Who cares what number it is …………Will know when the world changes and starts to take the mark …………I will watch out for any number or mark and it's pretty evident it will be the muslim mohamad mark or the rfid chip ………I'm betting on RFID chips ………Look how technology can track or control everything we do ……………………. Although if were knocked out of technology by an emp it will most likley be the mark of mohammad Do your research ………Anyways Jesus is Lord and he will let those have have eyes see and ears listen ………….. Some people today even though 80 something percent % are more convinced now than last years We are in the Birth Pains ……..Headed to Tribulation WW3 soon ……………Trust in The word in Spirit and Truth …………Jesus is the Only Way to the Father Many will come to believe he is Alive Once Their worst nightmare comes out and is reality and they are broken ……..Jesus always is with you know matter what even When you don't believe He is the Shepard …………But for now he says Do Not Be Troubled and gives us Warnings ……………..There is one thing that's Living Proof of God vs Evolution…… Evolution says we evolve ….Why did we stop Evolving ……. Then I tell them But if you look at Prophecy in Bible if you study history Prophecy Never Lies it's all True ……….. And if you look at Today and Future Prophecy's They are and will not Fail Either ……….God is Alive and Very Real …….. We should Fear Love and Trust in Him Above all Things ………………..
Believers must not be worried with mark of beast, of course the enemy has an agenda but our loving and foreknowing GOD disclosed to us.The concern of every Christian is to know CHRIST more than ever and share HIM with the world that promises us riches bit cannot give us eternal joy.Read PAUL,PETER and JOHN,you will realize that the priority for them was for the believer to bear the image of GOD in the world which Adam failed to do.So OUR KING is coming thus lets rejoice brethren and that is the attitude that the early church portrayed because they realized that we do not belong to this earth but in EDEN. That is where life began and unfortunately we landed on this planet because of Adam's disobedience.GOD HAS GREAT THINGS IN STORE FOR BELIEVE,SATAN IS NOT THE MOTIVE OF OUR FAITH BUT CHRIST IS.

Moisture transport and intraseasonal variability in the South America monsoon system

This paper examines moisture transport on intraseasonal timescales over the continent and over the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) during the South America (SA) summer monsoon. Combined Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis (EOFc) of Global Precipitation Climatology Project pentad precipitation, specific humidity, air temperature, zonal and meridional winds at 850 hPa (NCEP/NCAR reanalysis) are performed to identify the large-scale variability of the South America monsoon system and the SACZ. The first EOFc was used as a large-scale index for the South American monsoon (LISAM), whereas the second EOFc characterized the SACZ. LISAM (SACZ) index showed spectral variance on 30–90 (15–20) days and were both band filtered (10–100 days). Intraseasonal wet anomalies were defined when LISAM and SACZ anomalies were above the 75th percentile of their respective distribution. LISAM and SACZ wet events were examined independently of each other and when they occur simultaneously. LISAM wet events were observed with the amplification of wave activity in the Northern Hemisphere and the enhancement of northwesterly cross-equatorial moisture transport over tropical continental SA. Enhanced SACZ was observed with moisture transport from the extratropics of the Southern Hemisphere. Simultaneous LISAM and SACZ wet events are associated with cross-equatorial moisture transport along with moisture transport from Subtropical Southwestern Atlantic.

Keller Williams | 11.21 | San FranciscoKeller plays a Rex Party at GAMH, busting out Dead covers and throwing 'em for a loop...
Well written article. Seen Keller many many times and always have fun.
Keller sucks
Really, this review is meh, - but thanks for writing it anyway. "Focus On The Bass" is actually called "Novelty Song."
Meh is too high of a rating. First off, the guy fucking GUESSES the name of Novelty Song, & guesses it WRONG!(obvy) but then he goes on to supposedly quote Celebrate Your Youth, & instead quotes the line from 'More Than a Little' which wasn't even played that show- I know, I was there, Also, I have heard, but not confirmed, that Keller ripped off that line from someone else, & therefore shouldn't be credited with it at all.
I give this article 2 rotten douches.

glad someone still pays to see Keller
i enjoy seeing keller williams play, his 'playfulness', and i enjoyed reading this article. thanks!
to all the haters go fuck yourselves. keller is the man and always puts on a great show. this was a very well written article and seriously who cares if he called novelty song something other than its original name. seriously guys go fuck yourselves. love keller, love the article, love the setlist, love everything.
Thanks for the info, not sure how that passed me by but... I guess he shouldn't have credited it to the wrong author, quoting it in the wrong song...
The happiest man on stage... to some very sad people, that sucks. (I'd be sad too, if I were a hairdresser ;-)
a setlist would be nice as well...
Lol at Keller fans correcting the article.
accuracy is important
i understand the people that don't dig Keller. Its cool---I don't dig Umphrey's or Bisco, but understand their crowd. I myself always seem to enjoy a show from K-Dub and never leave having had a bad time. The Terrapin cover on piano the reviewer speaks of is a true jewel, I've heard Keller throw it into a setlist more than once. I've always felt Keller shows are like a mad Scientist alone in his living room conducting his own personal orchestra, except the orchestra is all him. Can't wait to catch him at the Pageant in St. Louis in January, he always puts on a great show in St. Louis and the crowd there always seems to put out great energy.

Tamboran Resources Ltd., an Australian shale explorer led by a former Cobalt International Energy Inc. executive, is considering going public in the U.S. as early as the second half of this year.
International Business Machines Corp. is reducing stock buybacks after an $8.2 billion first- quarter splurge, putting more pressure on Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty to reignite sales growth or cut costs to hit her profit targets.
"There are a few key drivers to the record cash levels including good financial performance, steady growth for the aggregate of nonfinancial companies, a modest increase in revenues and supplementing funding needs through raising debt in a market last year that was very receptive to debt issuance."

|Topic: Bats
Discussion: Bat Flex
Thanx Bruce; if you ever watch golf on TV you'll see the pros club shafts bend an amazing amount on their downswing (in super-slo motion) before they hit the ball.
Wonder how easy it would be to see bats flex in slo-motion?
|Dec. 11, 2014
|Topic: Bats
Discussion: Bat Flex
Bruce; no, the golf ball itself nothing to do with the shaft flex. The shaft flex is a product of the swing & as a rule a shaft that's too stiff tends to cause a slice or block to the right (for a RH golfer) while a too flexible shaft creates hooks or pulls to the left.
This link explains it much better:
Softball's a lot different since the bats are way shorter & thicker than any golf club & the ball is bigger & heavier. And unlike golf, we don't really care if the softball hooks or slices a little so the question is what impact does bat flex have on your swing & the flight of the ball?
|Dec. 10, 2014
|Topic: Bats
Discussion: Bat Flex
So what happens if you swing a bat with too much or too little flex?
In golf the shaft flex mostly affects how straight or crooked the ball flies but not so much distance or height.
Do you want the bat to flex at all when it makes ball contact or would that mean the bat has too much flex?
|Dec. 10, 2014
|Topic: Bats
Discussion: Bat Flex
So is the amount of bat flex a good thing, a bad thing or just a personal preference (like balanced vs end-loaded) when it comes to a bats performance, durability or anything else?

|Topic: Bats
Discussion: When Is It Bat Altering?
Maybe someone that knows or owns a rolling machine can set the record straight. Never seen a roller but thinking it's probably as long as the bats so it would be able to roll up & down the entire length of the barrel and actually could extend the sweet spot in both directions?
|Nov. 14, 2014
|Topic: Bats
Discussion: When Is It Bat Altering?
Don't know for sure if it's true, but have been told that rolling the bat extends the sweet spot beyond what it would normally be which makes it illegal/altered.

Just interested in anyone's opinion; how do these 2 associations compare when it comes to running their tournaments?
Is either one better or different than the other?

|Topic: Bats
Discussion: Aluminum bats and blue dot balls
Can't imagine any sanctioning association would ever go back to Blue Dots no matter what bats were being used.
A 47 cor/525 compression ball would be deemed too dangerous by them even if someone was just hit by a thrown ball.
Their attorneys would never let them go back to the Blue Dots under any circumstances.

Discussion: You Make the Call
Thanks for the replies; sounds like the ump blew the call since he expressly stated that the Fielder's verbal declaration of losing the ball in the sun was what negated calling the IFR. He said that it negated the normal effort part of the rule once the Fielder said he couldn't see the ball.
Having been there, the 3rd baseman wasn't guilty of baiting since all 3 runners ended up safe.
Seems like what the ump was trying to cover up was his neglecting to call IFR in a timely fashion and once the ball hit the ground he must have felt like calling IFR at that point would draw complaints from the hitting team.
We actually had an ump in our league this year declare to both teams he would no longer call IFR the rest of the season to avoid any future arguments.
|Aug. 20, 2014
|Topic: Rules of the game
Discussion: You Make the Call
Happened at the ISSA tournament in Virginia last weekend.
Runners on 1st & 2nd with nobody out, batter hits a pop-up to the 3rd baseman.
Umpire does not immediately call Infield Fly and when the ball reaches its peak the 3rd baseman yells out that he's lost the ball in the sun.
Ball lands 5 to 10 feet behind the 3rd baseman and the umpire declares all runners safe claiming that once the 3rd baseman lost the ball it eliminates Infield Fly call.
The 2 questions here are; 1) how soon after the ball is hit does the Umpire have to declare Infield Fly rule and 2) does the verbal declaration by the 3rd baseman of losing the ball in the sun eliminate the Infield Fly rule from being called?

Sure; once the ball hits 1st or 3rd base it has to be a fair ball no matter where it goes from there.
No different than a ball that hits on the foul line anywhere between the base & the outfield fence. It's still a fair ball even if it rolls backwards & sideways into foul territory between the base and home plate, right?.

Don't really see how having an extra fielder would help a lower-rated team when the higher-rated team is hitting their extra home runs.
More eyes to watch the ball go over the fence?

Agreed; the ball feels like it has a very low COR. There's no bounce or rebound to it; it's like hitting a wooden croquet ball.
And without any flex to it there will probably be even more broken bats.
All in all very disappointing, also just saying.

Discussion: All the hate on DBO with senior bats...how about this?
Garocket; don't see how that could work? We waited for a game in Vegas to finish some years ago so we could get our game in on a Saturday night. Home team was up around 30 - 22 going into the 7th of a M+ game with no DBOs. Visiting team scored around 30 in the top half to go up by about 20 runs. Home team came in and got their 20 or so runs to win. Game took over 2 hours to play and then it was too late for us to get our game in (at around 10:30pm) so they made us come back Sunday at 7am. Several of our guys refused to ever go back after that.
With 2 Unlimited innings like you're suggesting a game could last 2 1/2 hours; how could any TD run a tournament on any kind of schedule under those conditions?

From the Terre Haute Rex Terre Haute – The Terre Haute REX Baseball organization announced today that Ronnie Prettyman will become the team's manager for the 2013 season. Prettyman served as a bench coach for the REX during the 2012 and 2011 seasons. "I am grateful for the opportunity that the REX have given me," Prettyman said. "Terre Haute has embraced the REX and when a city like this cares and is supportive, it is hard not to get excited." ^^^ Prettyman is the successor to Brian Dorsett, who coached the team for the past three seasons. Dorsett earned a 101-71 overall record and lead the team to two post season playoff appearances. He was named the 2012 Prospect League Co-Manager of the Year. Read the rest of this article here.

of course with our new lineup there really diesnt exist much of a threat but just to maekt higns interesting look at this
Khandi Man vs Shaq
- Shaq will dominate but Khandi man does a better job on him than anyone else in the league
::Advantage: LAKERS
GArnet vs Malone
- Malone, at this point, is the greatest PF of all time... but his prime is long over and Garnetts is just peaking. Malone will gaurd KG better than any other laker ever has but Garnett is just better period
::Advantage: WOLVES
Wallys World vs George
- I hate Wally but he's still better than Devean George, sorry
::Advantage: WOLVES
Sprewell vs Bryant
- Sprewells a good defender and an explosive player offensively... he'll also be back at his more natural position at the 2... Kobe meanwhile will be slightly distracted witht he trial... regaurdells tho, Kobe's the best 2 in the league hands down
::Advantage: LAKERS
Cassell vs Payton
- Cassells got 2 rings, Paytons got none. Payton however, still has his mouth and one of the best Ds in the game. Close call with Payton in his mid thirties, but Cassell isnt old yet either
::Advantage LAKERS
- we got the tandem of rush n pargo, fisher n fox, cook n walton, and now slava n grant... we win =P
ok, so maybe not much of a contest at all... but still.. its going to be fun to watch

Triangular Bézier surface patches in modeling shape of boundary geometry for potential problems in 3D
- Eugeniusz Zieniuk,
- Krzysztof Szerszen
- … show all 2 hide
This paper presents a new boundary shape representation for 3D boundary value problems based on parametric triangular Bézier surface patches. Formed by the surface patches, the graphical representation of the boundary is directly incorporated into the formula of parametric integral equation system (PIES). This allows us to eliminate the need for both boundary and domain discretizations. The possibility of eliminating the discretization of the boundary and the domain in PIES significantly reduces the number of input data necessary to define the boundary. In this case, the boundary is described by a small set of control points of surface patches. Three numerical examples were used to validate the solutions of PIES with analytical and numerical results available in the literature.

No Home for the Holidays
(56 votes, average: 1.43 out of 5)
Thanks for your vote!
Voting on this contest has closed. Thanks to all who voted!
by Sylvia Addison
One day a husband and a wife were arguing over the making of holiday plans. The hubby was complaining about spending too much time with the in-laws (as husbands often do), and the wife was trying to convince the husband that he wanted to do what she wanted to do (as wives often do). Both got madder and madder. In the end (after the requisite cooling off period) the husband came to the wife and told her he was feeling argumentative because he was jealous. Jealousy aside, he truly wanted to do whatever the wife wanted to do. He understood that the wife had a special warm, happy place that she could retreat to for the holidays, and he wanted to share that with her. He was sad that he didn't have the same thing. And the wife was sad too.

Nuggets have exclusive scrimmage for students in Aurora, near shooting
Oct 11, 2012, 1:56 PM EDT
You certainly remember one of the most disturbing stories of the summer, when a gunman opened fire in a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, just outside Denver, killing a dozen people and injuring 60 more.
One of the people killed were students at Gateway High School in Aurora and about 60 of the school's students happened to be there that night. Over the following days Gateway became a hub in the community where people went for information about the shooting and what happened to loved ones.
The Denver Nuggets hosted an exclusive scrimmage just for the students at Gateway Wednesday night. It's a small gesture in the grand scheme of things, but it meant something to the students and faculty of the school.
Andre Miller pulled students out of the crowd to come down and take jumpers and other players interacted with the 1,500 on hand for the event, according to the Nuggets official Web site.
"It's been another great example of the community support we've had," Gateway principal Bill Hedges said. "I got a little emotional at the beginning of the game because our kids and our staff have been through so much … I think you've made 1,500 lifelong Nuggets fans here tonight."
"They definitely have our support," center Kosta Koufos said. "You heard stories about boyfriends taking bullets for their girlfriends. They're definitely the true heroes. They were very courageous."
Good on the Nuggets for this.

If dope means good, I completely agree. Otherwise, I disagree.

Ummm….of course.
Here: The Denver Nuggets jerseys for the upcoming season are unbelievably appeasing to the eye, the old-school look with new-school flare give it a very nice apperance and I would have to say that I am pleased greatly with the aesthetic value. Better?

OK, then I agree. Thanks for the clarification.

Getafe striker Ikechukwu Uche insists he welcomes competition for places as he adjusts to his new surroundings.
The Nigeria international, who was signed from Recreativo Huelva over the summer, has struggled to match last season's exploits, but insists he's satisfied with his situation.
"All the forwards here have quality and it will be necessary to work hard to stay involved," said Uche. "When I am called on to play it will be great and when it is another teammate's chance, then it will be necessary to continue working and supporting my companions.
"I knew from the first day that there was going to be competition and that is good for the squad."

Yesterday, I noticed my H25 could no longer see the playlist on my HR34 or my HR20. Went ahead an restarted the H25 and the HR20 playlist came up, but not the HR34. At this point, the HR34 can't see the HR20, nor can it be seen by the H25 or HR20. I have had this setup over a year with no real issues with MRV. I am on NR's for all boxes. Kind of at a loss as to what else could be going on...
Here is my setup:
SL5 with 4 cables into a SWM16. HR34 cabled directly to SWM16 port. H25 and HR20 on a green splitter on the other SWM16 port. I have an ethernet cable from my Frontier DSL service connected to the HR34 and it appears that all the boxes are getting internet access from this. When I hit the dash on the HR34, it shows receiver number, SWM: Connected and Internet: Connected.
Any thoughts on what could be causing the issue?

I may not know as much as the experts but neither did the experts when they themselves were novices.

Power cycled the HR20 and now everything seems to be back to normal. Not complaining... but strange. The HR20 is the oldest receiver I have... bought it from CC many years ago. If it does crap out, I might consider replacing it with a HD Tivo box.
Thanks for the reply!
