... but FEW are chosen
(1/5) > >>
So... we have got a brief sentence in a scripture which says that "few are chosen"...
Few means few, and it's clearly written...
How do you cope with that certain passage?
Chosen for what, exactly, do you think? :happy3:
the context shows: chosen for salvation...
Matt 20:1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4 and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
7 They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
8 So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
11 And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
12 saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
13 But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen." [NKJV]
Young's Literal translates verse one in this manner:
1 `For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard,
So, the men are being chosen to do a job - a job in the Kingdom of Heaven, or "the reign of the heavens".
Matthew 22:1-14
1 And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:
2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.
4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding." '
5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.
6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.
7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'
10 So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.
12 So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.
13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14 For many are called, but few are chosen." [NKJV]
verse 2 in YLT: `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,
Jesus is speaking to the Jews here, the Israelite nation which had been called to be a CHOSEN nation, called to be a blessing to all nations, called to reign in the heavens. They were the first guests to be invited to the Wedding of the Bridegroom, but they wanted nothing to do with it. And so their place at the wedding was given to others. Compare this to Romans 9-11 ~ do you see a connection?
Many are called to take part in the "reign of the heavens", the work of the Kingdom of Heaven, but few are actually chosen to do so and will respond to the call. This is my understanding.
In my opinion, the few chosen were those given eyes to see that the blessings to Abraham through Christ was by faith, not by works of the law.
They receive the inheritance at the return of Christ (resurrection to good, built their house upon the ROCK), and through their reward, the eyes will be opened of the called that they stumbled on the ROCK, and this results in complete destruction of their pride, self righteous, human possiblility, death of human possiblility. This is second death, which results in LIFE from the dead.

A well-timed blink can be the difference between a good story and a tearful eulogy.
Blink is a self-only instant arcane spell that teleports the caster forward 20 yards (if possible) and frees the caster from stuns and roots.
- Casting: Instant
- School: Arcane
- Target: Self Only
- Range: 20 Yards (always 20 yards, not targetable)
- Duration: N/A
- Cooldown: 15 Seconds
Improved Blink (Reduces the mana cost of Blink by 25% per rank; 2 ranks)
- Blink is stopped by terrain, and does not work across indoor-outdoor boundaries. If you teleport within a cave, you can reach 20 yards. Teleporting near the entrance will Blink you to the very edge of where the cave becomes "outside". Note that some bridges are considered indoors and the edges will shorten your Blink distance.
- Even if you do not go the full 20 yards, you are still freed from stuns and roots.
- Blink negates Stun effects (not Sleep, Charm or Fear) and Root effects (not Snare or Daze).
Rank Table
|Teleports the caster 20 yards forward if possible, also freeing the caster from stuns and bonds.
(*) Mana cost increases as you level. It's roughly 35% of your base mana pool, before adding intellect-based mana from items. This sounds expensive, but works out to "almost always cheap", or at least always worth casting.
Tips and Tactics
- During long periods of walking, Blink can effectively shorten the total time of your trip if used every 15 seconds.
- Blink works on stuns caused by the Rogue abilities Kidney Shot and Cheap Shot, but not on Gouge. Learn what things you can break out of and what you can't. When in doubt, try anyway, it won't activate the cooldown timer if you can't break out.
- Always be mindful of the cooldown... if using Blink would merely look good, hold onto it until later when it may save you a trip to the Graveyard.
- You can avoid some pointy terrain distance shortening by hopping into the air and blinking mid-jump. Blink uses line of sight to calculate your travel distance, jumping gets you over small obstacles that would stop you.
- Fun Blink Tricks:
- Blinking will not spill you over a cliff or out a window, so if your Blink would have you end up over a drop off, you'll stop at the edge or - if you're at the edge or there is no edge - you won't move. There's a little trick here: when you're in midair (falling only; a normal jump is not "midair"), this effectively teleports you back up towards where you left solid ground: you fall a little ways as you cast, and since there is no edge, you go back to where you first hit the Blink button. You can take advantage of this when leaping off very high cliffs and blinking just before you hit the ground. Practice makes perfect! You'll take little to no damage if done right.
- Jump, spin 180 degrees in mid air, and blink when being followed by a hostile player. They'll lose a few seconds trying to find you if you manage to get behind them.
- Blink through some terrain, like small trees and rocks, and the rope line at the Stormwind Bank.

This application is a Continuation-In-Part of the following U.S. patent applications: Ser. No. 09/982,482 filed Oct. 18, 2001 titled Electrosurgical Working End for Controlled Energy Delivery now abandoned and Ser. No. 10/032,867 filed Oct. 22, 2001 now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,929,644 and titled Electrosurgical Jaw Structure for Controlled Energy Delivery, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to systems and methods for delivering energy to tissue, and more particularly to systems for hyperthermic treatment or ablation of targeted tissues, such as tumors and the like. The system of the invention maintains a selected energy delivery profile in a targeted tissue volume to effectively localize thermal effects for a selected time interval.
2. Description of the Related Art
In recent years, a number of instruments have been disclosed for localized thermally-mediated treatments or ablations of tumors or other targeted tissues in an interior of a patient's body. Any such percutaneous or minimally invasive treatment offers the advantage of causing less damage to healthy tissue when compared to an open surgical procedure, for example an excision of a tumor. Further, a localized thermal treatment of a tumor can prevent seeding of the tumor which is believed to be a risk factor in an open surgery.
Several terms have been used to describe such thermally-mediated treatments, generally depending on the temperature range of the therapy, including terms such as hyperthermia, thermotherapy and ablation. Hyperthermia often is used to describe therapies that cause tissue temperatures in the range of 37� C. to about 45� C. or higher that do not cause immediate cell disruption and death. The term ablation typically describes temperature ranges that denature proteins, such as in coagulation, for example in the 50�–100� C. range and higher. This disclosure relates to the controlled application of energy to tissue in any thermotherapy, and will typically use the terms thermally-mediated therapy or ablation to describe the methods of the invention that cover temperature ranges from about 37� C. to 200� C.
An exemplary thermally-mediated therapy of the invention is the ablation of tumors, whether benign or malignant, for example tumors of the liver. In a prior art therapy, heat has been applied to a tumor by means of direct contact of the targeted tissue with an exposed radio-frequency (Rf) electrode carried at the distal end of a insulated needle-type probe as depicted in
What is needed is a system and method for delivery of Rf energy to targeted tissue volumes in a precisely controlled manner for localization of thermal effects. It would be desirable to provide an Rf system that can maintain a selected tissue temperature, and Rf density in tissue, independent of changes in voltage or current and without the need for feedback mechanisms.
In general, the various embodiments of probes corresponding to the present invention all provide an Rf working end that is adapted to instantly and automatically modulate active Rf energy density in a targeted tissue without reliance of prior art "feedback" monitoring systems that measure impedance, temperature, voltage or a combination thereof. I an exemplary embodiment, a needle-type probe can be used for tumor ablation.
The energy delivery member of any probe of the present invention defines a tissue-engagement plane that is adapted to contact the targeted tissue. A cross-section of the working end interior of the engagement plane explains the multiple components that comprise the invention for applying energy to tissue. Typically, the engagement plane defines a thin surface conductive layer portion (for tissue contact) that overlies a medial conductive matrix of a temperature sensitive resistive material. Interior of the medial conductive matrix is an inner or core conductive material (an electrode) that is coupled to an Rf source and controller. Of particular interest, the medial conductive matrix comprises a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) having a resistance (i.e., impedance to electrical conduction therethrough) that changes as it increases in temperature. One type of PTC material is a ceramic that is engineered to exhibit a dramatically increasing resistance (i.e., several orders of magnitude) above a specific temperature of the material—a Curie point or switching range.
The working end of the invention utilizes a medial variable conductive matrix that has a selected switching range, for example a narrow 2�–5� C. range, which approximates the target temperature of the thermally-mediated therapy. In operation, it can be understood that the engagement plane will apply active Rf energy to the engaged tissue until the medial conductive matrix is heated to the selected switching range. When the tissue temperature thus elevates the temperature of the medial PTC conductive layer to the switching range, Rf current flow from the core conductive electrode through to the engagement surface will be terminated due to the exponential increase in the resistance of medial conductive matrix. This instant and automatic reduction of Rf energy application can be relied on to prevent any substantial dehydration of tissue proximate to the probe's engagement plane. By thus maintaining an optimal level of moisture around the engagement plane, the working end can more effectively apply energy to the tissue—and provide a deeper thermal effect than would be possible with prior art Rf needles.
The working end of the probe corresponding to the invention further provides a suitable cross-section and mass for maintaining heat. Thus, when the medial variable conductive matrix is elevated in temperature to its switching range, the conductive matrix can effectively function as a resistive electrode to thereafter passively conduct thermal energy to the engaged tissue volume. Thus, in operation, the working end can automatically modulate the application of energy to tissue between active Rf heating and passive conductive heating of the targeted tissue to maintain the targeted temperature level.
The working end of the probe can be have the form of a needle for piercing into tissue, and applicator surface for contacting a tissue surface or at least one surface of a jaw structure for clamping against tissue. The working end of the probe further can comprise a plurality of energy delivery members, operating in a mono-polar or bi-polar mode. In a further embodiment of the invention, the Rf treatment system can carry a fluid an infusion system for introducing an electrolyte to the engagement surface.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be understood by reference to the following detailed description of the invention when considered in combination with the accompanying Figures, in which like reference numerals are used to identify like elements throughout this disclosure.
1. Type "A" probe for tumor ablation. An exemplary Type "A" probe 100 of the invention is illustrated in
In the exemplary embodiment of
More in particular, referring to
In the exemplary embodiment of
The sectional view of
As can be seen in
Of particular interest, still referring to
In one type of PTC material, a ceramic PTC layer can be engineered to exhibit unique resistance vs. temperature characteristics that can maintain a very low base resistance over a wide temperature range, with a dramatically increasing resistance (i.e., several orders of magnitude) above a specific temperature of the material which is sometimes referred to as a Curie point or switching range as illustrated in
Thus, the critical increase in temperature of medial second conductive material 1401B is typically caused by the transient high temperature of tissue that is caused by active Rf heating of the tissue. In turn, heat is conducted back through the layer of the first conductive material 140A to medial conductive material 140B. (Another embodiment below describes the use of direct electrical current flow to thus cause internal heating of the medial conductive material 140B, see
As can be seen in
2. Method of use of Type "A" embodiment. Referring to
In the exemplary procedure, the physician selects a working end that carries a medial conductor matrix 140C (see
As can be understood from
After the targeted volume tt is well imaged, as illustrated in
After the initial activation of energy delivery at time T0 as depicted in
Still referring to
By the above described mechanisms of causing the medial conductive matrix 140B to hover about its selected switching range, the actual Rf energy density in the tissue tt thus can be precisely modulated to maintain the desired temperature.
In summary, one method of the invention comprises the delivery of Rf energy from an Rf source 150A to a conductive engagement surface portion 140A of a probe through a thermally sensitive resistor material (medial layer 140B) wherein the resistor material has a selected switching range that approximates a targeted temperature of the therapy. In operation, the working end automatically modulates active Rf energy density in the tissue as the temperature of the engaged tissue conducts heat back to the thermally sensitive resistor material 140B to cause its temperature to reach the selected switching range. In this range, the Rf current flow will be reduced, with the result being that the tissue temperature can be maintained in the selected range without the need for thermocouples or any other form of feedback circuitry mechanisms to modulate Rf power from the source. Most important, it is believed that this method of the invention will allow for more immediate modulation of actual energy application to tissue than provided by a temperature sensor. Such temperature sensors suffer from a time lag. Further, a temperature sensor provides only an indirect reading of actual tissue temperature—since a typical sensor can only measure the temperature of the electrode.
Another method of the invention comprises providing the working end with a suitable cross-section of thermally resistive matrix 140B so that when it is elevated in temperature to the switching range, the conductive matrix 140B effectively functions as a resistive electrode to passively conduct thermal energy to engaged tissue. Thus, in operation, the working end 122 can automatically modulate the application of energy to tissue between active Rf heating and passive conductive heating of the targeted tissue at a targeted temperature level.
3. Type "B" probe for energy delivery to targeted tissue. An exemplary Type "B" probe 200 corresponding to the invention is illustrated in
One principal difference between the Type "B" probe and the previously described Type "A" probe is that a Type "B" energy delivery member is (i) substantially flexible in bending, or (ii) resilient in a radial direction relative to the axis 215 of the member. One purpose for flexible energy delivery members 220A-220B is so that the members can fan out to surround the targeted tissue tt as they are advanced out of introducer 210 in a somewhat lateral direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the introducer 210. The deployed energy delivery members 220A-220B can have a variety of different deployed geometries including one or more radii of curvature. As shown in
Of particular interest, the requirement of a flexible or resilient energy delivery member resulted in the development of an assembly of materials that provide a flexible or resilient surface engagement layer portion 240A, a flexible or resilient medial conductive portion 240B of a PTC-type material together with a core conductive portion (electrode) 240C of a shape memory or spring-type material.
The energy delivery member 220 of
In the probe of
In operation, referring to
As described above, the scope of the invention includes an energy delivery member 220A with a medial conductive layer 240B that is resilient, compressible or radially flexible.
In another embodiment, the variably resistive matrix can be a pressure-sensitive resistive material that is carried in an exterior layer or body portion at an exterior of a probe working end. For example, the variably resistive layer can be substantially thin and fabricated of a material called a "pressure variable resistor ink" identified as Product No. CMI 118-44 available from Creative Materials Inc., 141 Middlesex Rd., Tyngsboro, Mass. 01879. The resistance vs. pressure characteristics of the variably resistive matrix can be adjusted by blending with Product No. CMI 117-34 that is available from the same source. It can be appreciated that the working end of the probe can function somewhat as depicted in
4. Type "C" probe for tumor ablation. Type "C" probes corresponding to the invention are illustrated in
Referring back to
5. Type "D" probe for tumor ablation. An exemplary working end of a Type "D" probe 500 of the invention is illustrated in
As an example, assume that the probe of
6. Type "E" probe for energy delivery to tissue.
In use, referring to
The probe working end 660 has a first jaw portion 672 a that carries the above described functional components of the invention attached to any suitable jaw body indicated at 668. The jaw body 668 is of an insulated material or a metal with a non-conductive coating. The second jaw portion 672 b is moveable about a pivot (not shown) to close against the first jaw 672 a as indicated by the arrow in
7. Type "F" probe for energy delivery to tissue.
The purpose of the DC delivery application mechanism is to provide independent control means for modulating the temperature of medial conductive portion 740B. The DC system can be used to instantly alter the temperature of a PTC or NTC material, for example, to terminate Rf energy application or for other similar control purposes. Another purpose of such a DC system would be to shift the switching range to a higher or lower range. Another embodiment (not shown) can use photonic energy application means to alter the resistance of an optically sensitive medial conductive layer 740B for similar purposes.
6. Type "G" probe for energy delivery to tissue.
The Type "G" probe is adapted for operation in an environment in which the targeted tissue tt is exposed to fluid environment, wherein the term fluid is defined as any flowable media such as a liquid or a gas. The variably resistive matrix 840B can be a positive temperature coefficient material (PTC) or a negative temperature coefficient material (NTC), depending on the operating environment. Either a PTC or NTC material has the characteristic that its temperature—and therefore its selected switching range—can extend over only a highly localized portion of the working end. Thus, in operation, one portion of the variably resistive matrix 840B can be substantially resistive while another portion can be substantially conductive.
As one example of such a Type "G" probe,
The working end 822 of
The NTC matrix 840B can be fabricated of carbon and a zirconium oxide paste, for example, from about 5% to 50% carbon and 95% to 50% zirconium oxide. More preferably, the matrix can be from about 10% to 30% carbon and the balance of zirconium oxide. In one embodiment, the NTC matrix is preferably between about 10% to 12% carbon and 88% to 92% zirconium oxide. It is believed that an elevation of the temperature of the matrix decreases it resistance by slight thermal expansion of the carbon particles that reduces the effective distance between the conductive particles thereby enhancing electrical conduction through the matrix.
The above-described operation of a Type "G" probe in a fluid environment explains the advantages of an NTC matrix to assure active tissue heating when the fluid volume is substantial or dynamic, thus subtracting heat from the region of the working end. A similar probe working end can be used advantageously in a different fluid environment wherein the fluid is not circulating or the fluid is highly conductive. As an example, an orthopedic workspace can have a limited volume of saline therein while performing an arthroscopic procedure. The PTC material in a probe working end similar in form to
Another Type "G" probe 800 and its method of use in a fluid environment is shown in
It should be appreciated that the scope of the apparatus and method of the includes the use of a probe that does not carry a body portion of a variably-resistive matrix. In other words, the working end can rely only on the pressure-sensitive resistive layer 850 about the engagement plane 825 to locally apply energy to engaged tissues (see
In another embodiment (not shown), the working end of the probe can have an elongate core of the substantially resistive material, e.g., either in a rod-like member or in a helical member. This resistive material has a fixed resistivity and is adapted to pre-heat the working end and the engaged tissue as a means of preconditioning certain tissues to have a certain impedance. Such a probe may be useful when the engagement surface is large. A thermally conductive, but electrically insulative, layer is disposed intermediate the core resistive material and a conductive (electrode) layer. The conductive layer is coupled in series with the resistive material to the remote voltage source. The variably resistive matrix is disposed between the engagement plane and the conductive (electrode) layer—as described in any of the Types "A" to "G" embodiments.
7. Type "H" probe for energy delivery to tissue.
Referring to
A surface layer 948 of an insulator material is disposed at the end of the probe surrounding the core electrode 940 wherein the exposed exterior of the surface layer 948 defines the engagement plane 925. The surface layer 948 preferably is of a somewhat flexible and resilient polymer, and in one preferred embodiment is a silicone or polyethylene. The scope of the invention encompasses any polymeric insulator material that has a thermal coefficient of expansion greater than that of the adaptive conductive elements or electrodes indicated at 950, for reasons that will be described below. The insulator can also comprise a ceramic in substantially thin surface layers 948.
Turning now to
In another preferred embodiment shown in
In another working end 922 that is similar to that of
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the exemplary systems, combinations and descriptions are merely illustrative of the invention as a whole, and that variations of components, dimensions, and compositions described above may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Specific characteristics and features of the invention and its method are described in relation to some figures and not in others, and this is for convenience only. While the principles of the invention have been made clear in the exemplary descriptions and combinations, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications may be utilized in the practice of the invention, and otherwise, which are particularly adapted to specific environments and operative requirements without departing from the principles of the invention. The appended claims are intended to cover and embrace any and all such modifications, with the limits only of the true purview, spirit and scope of the invention.

Mac Pro won't turn over
My 2006 Mac Pro 1,1, won't turnover on power on. CPUa/b overtemp lights illuminated on logic board along with only trickle power. No other diagnostic lights turn on including power on, which leads me to suspect I have a PSU malfunction.
I posted a YouTube video of the problem:
YouTube - Mac Pro 2006 Boot Issue
I'd appreciate any feedback!
Nice video explanation. I wish everyone would do that - makes it a lot easier to offer assistance.
I'm no expert when it comes to a Mac Pro but it does seem like your PSU has problems. I'm not sure where you can buy a new power supply for your Mac Pro but the first place to try is the folks at ifixit. iFixit: The free repair manual If they don't have one in stock try Powerbook Medic.
I believe both resellers allow returns if it should turn out to be something else.
I know jack diddly squat about Mac Pros - although it's a beautiful machine. I will say, however, that I had several PSUs go on me back when I had windows machines - happens all the time. Did you check with a simple voltmeter to see if you're getting the expected voltages from the PSU? Again - I don't know about Mac Pros specifically - but my old Windows boxes I could just pull the PSU - and check for the expected voltages. I would imagine you could do the same in this case to validate your concern - just as a next step?
I'm really hoping it's the PSU. I have it apart at the moment looking for any blown fuses and capacitors. I do have a multimeter but am at a bit of a loss of how to test. Any suggestions?
Did you do a PRAM reset as described here? Apple - Support - Discussions - Mac pro won't boot :( ...
Regarding testing for voltages - I don't know enough about which voltages that PSU provides and on what pins to help. If you don't find the voltages - that's very telling - however, if you do, it still doesn't rule out the PSU as you may have the PSU shutting itself down under load.
PSU from your description and should set you back about $500 at an Apple reseller or do it yourself much cheaper. My Mac Pro sat in a storage container in LA prior to shipping to Australia for two years and the PSU had to be replaced. Here is one who supply the unit and instructions:-

Renewing Your CDL in IdahoPage Overview
Renew in Person
While you might think the process to obtain your Idaho commercial driver's license (CDL) seems tedious the first time around, you will be glad to know that renewing it is far less time consuming.
You still have to appear in person at the county driver's license office, but you will only have to take and pass a written hazardous materials test if you wish renew this endorsement. At this time, the Transportation Security Administration will conduct a background check to assess any security threat. You may also be asked to take a new medical exam.
Count on taking the hazardous materials test every time you renew this endorsement and your license. If you want to add it to your CDL, then, of course, you will need to take the required test. As with the addition of any endorsement during your CDL renewal, upgrading means that you will have to undergo proper training and you will also have to pass the appropriate endorsement tests.
You will also be asked to show your proper identification (acceptable proof of citizenship or immigration).

Sheboygan North High School students recently took part in a national R-word day by asking the student body to pledge not to use the word retarded because of the dehumanizing effects it has on cognitively delayed students and their friends and family.
Students (shown left to right) who spoke to ask the student body to sign the banner are Zach Sorenson, Leah Samet, Daniele Achilles-Petzold, Lacie O'Quinn and Michael Pratt. Over 450 signatures were collected on the banner that will be displayed in the fitness center hallway.
