Non-Conference Numbers
Last Week
The Wildcats closed out their non-conference slate with a three-game series sweep of visiting Liberty ... The sweep capped off Arizona's non-conference record in the regular season at 25-6 ... The Cats opened the series with a bang, winning 16-2 on Friday and 16-3 on Saturday, before outlasting the Flames 7-6 in 10 innings on Sunday ...Offensive Numbers: Arizona busted out with a .419 team average (52 for 124) in the series with the Flames ... The weekend raised UA's team average 10 points (from .298 to .308) ... The Cats finished the series with 12 doubles and a season series-high seven home runs ... T.J. Steele (.358, 7 HR, 42 RBI) battered the Liberty pitching staff to lead the Wildcats with a crazy .786 batting average (11 for 14), three home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and five runs scored ... Steele and Brad Glenn hit back-to-back home runs on Saturday to mark the fourth time this season that Arizona has hit homers in consecutive at bats ...

Left-hander Brad Mills (9-4, 3.70 ERA, 79 K) tied Guilmet for the team wins lead with 5 2/3 innings of work on Saturday. He allowed just three runs on seven hits to pick up his ninth W of the year.

Your LA Food Examiner was recently invited to dine at MoKo (for Modern Korean) in the gourmet ghetto corridor of Culver City. Joining me at the table was L.A. food blogger, Tony Chen, of sinosoul and Hayon, his Korean born wife.
When I mentioned I would love to write about MoKo, but didn't have much of a frame of reference for Korean food, he said "this is all you need to know- this is the best Korean food you will ever taste."
"My Mom would say, this tastes like Korean food...", Hayon added
Here's what I can tell you. This food is delicious! We began with impeccably pristine seafood- raw oysters (also not something I normally indulge in, but they shined up at me so beautifully with their caviar garnish), and Korean style crudo served with sauces laced with Korean chile garlic pastes. Chef Gary Robins, whose resume includes stints at some of New York City's finest restaurants, hand selects his fish downtown at IMP fish market, along side L.A.'s top sushi chefs.
The menu presents a huge selection of Anju, Korean style street food -think Korean tapas. My favorite- innovative Ssam wraps including Pork Belly, Duck Confit and Shrimp. Sauces to top all those great fillings include Ginger Aioli, Sesame Aioli and Chipotle Jang.
The Korean barbecue seemed beyond the point considering the feast we had just indulged in, so we skipped it, but I'm sure it's wonderful, if that's what you're after.
There's a great wine list highlighting crisp and acidic varietals like Viogners, Sancerre and German Rieslings, to complement the contemporary Asian flavors on the menu, and inventive cocktails-renown mixologist Pablo Moix consulted with manager Chris Heyman to create a signature selection of cocktails- utilizing ingredients like cracked serrano pepper, fresh watermelon, lavender, cinnamon and star anise. Also offered are a sizable selection of beer, Sake and Soju.
And to finish- a Litchi Parfait sprinkled with a chili pine nut praline I couldn't stop eating, even after stuffing myself. My advice-get to MoKo now!

don't feel bad! I am 16 weeks and people are shocked when i tell them that because I am HUGE already. I gained 15 lbs in the first trimester, and this is my first baby! I was in maternity jeans easily in my third month...but not to fear, seems to have slowed down now and I haven't really gained any wait from last dr. appointment to most recent one.posted 10/31/2008 by rachellowero
This is my first baby and i was only 120 pounds when i got pregnant!!!My belly is not hard at the top and it looks kinda weird at times... for example in the morning i have this ball that looks like its right under my skin it kinda looks abnormal but cool. I can see all the movements the baby does and it hurts when he/she moves.posted 10/16/2008 by Lizangelie#1
I am 16 weeks pregnant with twins(first pregnancy) and I am not starting to show yet either, I was very lucky I didn't get morning sickness at all, although I lost 15lbs. anyway. I know the babies are doing great(multiples at age 36 gets alot of monitoring). I have been told by the Dr. that I should start gaining weight now. My belly is bigger but I look heavy not pregnant. Everyone is different. And with Twins I thought my belly would be bigger and harder by now, they tell it is fine.posted 10/14/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Hello Ladies, I can relate to some of you. This is my first pregnancy (16 wks) and I get worried and tense that i am having an "abnormal" pregnancy. But then reading those comments made me feel very relieved that I am not alone in this. So in this manner, I pray that all of us have a successful and beautiful pregnancy ahead. :-)posted 09/22/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I gave birth to my first child in May08, at 39 weeks. My belly didnt actually get hard until I was about 34 weeks or so, and even still the under part, underneath my bellybutton was still soft. It just depends on how your body carries your baby! He was pretty cramped towards the end!posted 09/12/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
well im at almost 17 weeks and my stomache is quite showing but my stomache is not hard yet..im glad this is my 2 pregnancy and my first was so different..but dont worry your actually lucky your not hard that way it wont be as hard to loose the weight..heheposted 07/03/2008 by unknown02
I was 5 MONTHS pregnant before I even began to get a pouch. I already knew the sex of my baby before you could even tell I was having one! My entire pregnancy they told me I was going to have a small baby, and he weight 9'1 at birth!posted 06/09/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 16 weeks with my second baby and the whole pregnancy has been different. My lower stomach is harder (under the left over tid bit of pudge from my first) but I can really tell the difference when I lay on my stomach and I'm starting to feel squished or full in that area. I've decided that I'm "showing" if I have to wear maternity clothes to feel comfortable. Whether it's all baby or some fat, or just water weight. :)posted 05/26/2008 by melelkins
I'm 20 with my first.. and I'm not showing either for 16 weeks. My belly is also not hard right now. You are most likely in shape, young, firm, tight, etc... and your body hasn't experienced this before so it's doing all the right things and not changing you so quick yet. Don't fret! it'll come!!posted 04/07/2008 by JaCubanCutie
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and my belly isn't hard yet either. I had a "pouch" before I got pregnant and now that pouch is larger so it looks like I'm showing. My belly is a little bit harder on the bottom than usual. But not up top yet!posted 03/17/2008 by Mcs29449

Like learning to savor a complex Bordeaux or delicate Pinot noir, your art palette could probably benefit from a lesson in "art tasting." By sampling a variety of different styles or mediums and receiving guidance on art culture, you'll cull a deeper understanding of the elaborate layers that go into experiencing fine art. At least, that's the goal with Soltesz Fine Art Tours, a personalized discovery of the Park City art scene guided by fine art appraiser and consultant Melissa Soltesz.
With 16 years of fine art experience, Soltesz calls upon her intimate connections with Park City and Salt Lake City artists, gallery owners, and collectors to help dissect the intricacies of art themes, trends, and techniques. And thanks to more than 20 art galleries throughout Park City, there are plenty of artistic mediums (and messages) to navigate. It's a lively way to open the door for discussions on an abstract topic that is often hard to grasp.
Discerning art aficionados can go beyond a general walk-and-talk tour of local artwork with Soltesz's Artist Studio Tour, a behind-the-scenes journey into the creative lairs of local painters, sculptors, photographers, and glassblowers. Or for art appreciators looking to grow into art collectors, Soltesz's experience as a veteran art consultant will shed light on the sophisticated side of collecting, pricing, and valuing artwork.
Soltesz also guides personalized tours organized around the Kimball Arts Festival, the Sundance Film Festival and even Park City's public art displays. While the intimate tours are great for small groups, the broad topic appeals to larger groups too.

Prices start at $50 per person for a 2-hour personalized gallery tour. Visit Soltesz Fine Art Tour's website for more information, or contact Melissa Soltesz at 435-901-0961 or email@example.com.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
A young woman discovers an ancient book and a cache of old letters in her father's library, and thus begins her adventurous quest for the truth about Vlad the Impaler, a search that will span continents and generations, and culminate in a confrontation with the darkest powers of evil.
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
July 2005. In the Pyrenees mountains near Carcassonne, Alice, a volunteer at an archaeological dig, stumbles into a cave and makes a startling discovery-two crumbling skeletons, strange writings on the walls, and the pattern of a labyrinth. Eight hundred years earlier, on the eve of a brutal crusade that will rip apart southern France, a young woman named Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father. The book, he says, contains the secret of the true Grail, and the ring, inscribed with a labyrinth, will identify a guardian of the Grail. Now, as crusading armies gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take a tremendous sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe. (Catalog summary)
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire--and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, nobody knows my sorrow."
"Nobody Knows the Trubel I've Seen" is the April 25 episode of "Grimm." Reminder: this article has spoilers, so read at your own risk. Be sure to check out the slideshow for more quotes from tonight's episode. "Grimm" airs Friday nights at 8 p.m. central on NBC.
Hello police case! It feels like forever since we've seen Nick and Hank tackle a case. I didn't realize how much I missed it. Gotta have my Wu fix. A bunch of Wesen are turning up dead. Thankfully, Nick doesn't jump immediately to the cause being a grimm. It would not have felt right. Instead, he starts to think about what Wesen could do this kind of damage. A personal favorite moment is when Nick and Hank interview one of the first victim's brother. It is great just to watch him talk to a grimm. Did you miss the case of the week?
Adalind is running to everyone asking for help. You know that she is really heartbroken when she runs to Nick's and even asks him to get Kelly to help. The writers did a good job of making people feel sorry for her. You can sense her pain. She is devastated, which is a different side of Adalind. Her arrangement with Viktor makes this exciting. He wants her to take Nick's powers, which is apparently something that she can do. The writers will need to explain this a little bit more. Do you feel sorry for Adalind?
Trubel is one strange Grimm. For one, she freaks out when she is approached by a Wesen. For another, she freaks out after killing a Wesen. She has an emotional breakdown. The twist that she is a Grimm who doesn't know she is a Grimm is fantastic. It allows Nick to share what he's learned, plus it is just an interesting predicament for Trubel to be in. You can really tell how disturbed she is by all of the Wesen. The writers have a great chance to explore her psyche a little bit, which hopefully they take otherwise Trubel's storyline will be wasted. What are your thoughts on Trubel?
Are you looking forward to seeing Trubel again next week? Did you enjoy the episode? Leave me your thoughts in a comment below.

From sweaters to shorts… our Central Indiana weather is warming up!
Highs will reach the upper 60s today with sunny skies. Patching morning fog will give way to sunshine and a south breeze up to 10 mph.
Tonight clouds will be on the increase, and a spotty sprinkle is possible. Overnight lows drop into the 40s and 50s, making for a mild morning at the bus stop Monday morning.
Monday mild temps return to Central Indiana. Highs will top out in the upper 70s! There's a chance for a few spotty showers or thunderstorms, but not everyone will see rain.
Speaking of rain, Indianapolis is only running 1.29″ below our yearly average for rain. Since September first, we've picked up 10.72″ of rain at the airport.
The 70s stick around through Thursday, until showers and storms move in Friday. By Saturday highs will only reach the 50s! Our "normal" high this time of year is 64.

"Despite her jealously guarded wish for privacy, if you have her e-mail address, she's a sucker for provocation, and will probably reply," writes Stephen Davis in the introduction to his revealing page-turner of a biography, More Room in a Broken Heart (amazon.com), about singer-songwriter Carly Simon, who Davis has known for some 40 years. Although it's an unauthorized story of Simon's incredible life, the Grammy-winner helped Davis fill in a few blanks, making this an all access, at times shocking tale of success, excess, turbulent romances, financial crises and, in the end, survival.

As The Slits sing-song: don't take it seriously.
The people who do take it seriously are those who look down their noses at the Banshees and chew the cud over The Slits. Not that I mind. I know what I like, and I know why I like it, and it's very personal.
Liking Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Slits may make me a bad person, but I don't feel a bad person. I may not agree with everything the needlessly cryptic Banshees and contemptuously mocking Slits have to say, but i love and like these records because they don't make me complacent. They confuse me and antagonise me, worry me and inspire me. They make me restless where other records make me comfy.
They're works of ultimate, uncompromising selfishness, selfishness that pushes them outward not inward. Both records are the works of scared young people trying too hard to make sense of life, I can get off on that. There are passions on these records: love, hate, greed, vanity, ambition, jealously, cruelty, tenderness.
These records are not bland. Which is something to say. Because the Banshees' potent skimming primitivism has been smoothed out as if wrapped in polythene and The Slits sound positively cultivated. Yet the passion is still there. So now that everyone in that corner has dutifully discussed the warm currents running around the new periods of Dylan, Morrison and Newman, let's wake up and fall in love! After the academic titillation of those limping rock rebels – i like the stuff actually, but then i read Charlie Dickens – let's twist and shout, let's move.
After all, this is rock'n'roll. Room for everyone. When Bob Dylan found God, The Slits found Dennis Bovelle. The latter affair is a far more momentous occasion, at least if you care more about the sound of self realisation in rock'n'roll than you do about the verses.
The images that revolve around in mind about other Slits in other times tend towards the messy but exhilarating, random but wounding. The Slits' wayward growth has been sketched in through Peel sessions and scattered gigs. The low point of their difficult slide to the surface was in the closing months of last year, when fruitfully seemed to have sealed their development. Their petulance then verged on self-parody. If those jaded Slits had appeared on record, onlookers would have wondered what the fuss was about. Whatever happened in the early months of this year is mysterious but gratifying. It can hardly be merely Dennis Bovelle that has wrought such a radical transformation. Because 'Cut' is not just the old depraved Slits thread through the fracturing, layering Bovelle machinery; things have obviously been tidied up before Bovelle's contribution.
The things have always been associated with The Slits – impatience, opinionation, playfulness – have not been lost or discarded, but with discipline have become more pointed and nurtured, allied to a curious lightness and disconcerting areas of soft whimsy. How much of the new light and shade, highs and lows Slits is due to Bovelle is open to debate. Is this in fact a Dennis Bovelle record?
But debates are boring. The spins and shapes are consistently unpredictable, and the character of the record is indisputably Slittish. Ten pieces, each an epic of contagious and gradual movement. 'Instant Hit', 'So Touch'. 'Spend, Spend, Spend', 'Shoplifting', 'FM', 'New Town', 'Ping Pong Affair', 'Love And Romance', 'Typical Girls', 'Adventures Close To Home'. Titles created by The Slits with Palmolive: 'Adventures Close To Home' has already appeared on The Raincots' first EP.
There are no straight lines, easy rhythms and obvious order. From the fractured masterpiece 'New Town' – totally different from the old dirge – through the sneer and snarl of 'Love And Romance', the nasty condescension of 'Typical Girls' and the wicked put-down 'So Touch' the sound swells, gathers gropes and turns. It's no use waiting for it to settle down. Ari Up snaps and talks, compressing spiteful, sore words into extreme approximations of melodies. Harmonies flirt mischievously with distorted prettiness.
Where Bovelle's technique emphasised The Pop Group's convolutions to an almost unlistenable extent, with the Slits the two styles complement instead of spiralling off each other. 'Cut' isn't laid back. It's mangled and savage, petty and contradictory: cultured depravity and nursery rhyme gothic pop. Once upon a time The Slits and the Banshees made music that burst at the seams. Now, everything's very measured….

Problems using WRKDBF and UNDEL2 to retrieve deleted records (6.1)
Paul Jackson <paulgjackson@...>
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me as I have a problem that has me baffled. I have a physical file that contains deleted records, I need to undelete the deleted records in order to find some evidence for a legal case. What happens is that when I try and undelete in WRKDBF (option 8), all that is showed is blanks and zeros for the fields. If I create a duplicate of the file add some records, delete some and try and undelete, it works fine, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the file layout itself. I have made sure that I have the latest version of the UNDEL2 utility and the UNDELM program in WRKDBF. The production file I need to undelete from has over 143 million records, i'm wondering if that has something to do with why the deleted records won't undelete. Any help or suggestions in retrieving these records would be greatly appreciated!

|We study the adhesion of multi-component vesicle membrane to flat/curved substrates. By introducing a phase field function, we can distinguish the different components of the vesicle membranes, and formulate the total energy in terms of phase field function to describe the equilibrium shapes of the vesicle membranes. By numerically solving the equilibrium equations (Euler-Lagrange equations), we find a number of representative membrane shapes with a variety of parameter values. We discuss the stability of the vesicle membranes enduring the adhesion, and reveal that adhesion can promote the phase separation for the vesicle membranes.

Upward Bound provides a wide variety of programming to meet the needs of many students. However, there are some challenges that Upward Bound is not equipped to handle and we encourage you to seek support in other areas. Even the best of students need help getting to, and being successful in college.
Upward Bound is about more than getting into college, but being successful in and graduating from college.
Even high achieving students need support to graduate from college
You may have an excellent student, who has always done well in school. They may be very likely to be admitted into college, even their dream college. Upward Bound can help them get their better prepared, more likely to finish, and with more financial aid/support. No one ever got through college alone, and learning to ask for help is an important skill to have.
Being a strong student can have more financial rewards than a minimum wage job
The average college student is graduating with more than $27,000 in student loan debt. Many high school students are getting jobs in order to save for college and offset these costs. While we applaud the effort, research has shown that there is a better was to spend your time. Qualifying for grants, scholarships, and un-restricted aid can have a much better return on investment than the minimal amount of money that high school students are able to save while working minimum wage jobs during high school. When grades and school involvement decline due to working, the long term costs could be significant.

A New Hero Every Day
A few weeks ago, I discovered how to insert pictures into this blog. Each game-day entry since that point, I put a picture of my MVP of each game in each entry. Remarkably, I have featured a new hero every single day!
Today, Justin Morneau provided the dramatics in the 4-3 Twins victory. After the Padres jumped out to another early lead, this time 3-0 against Scott Baker, Morneau blasted a shot to straight-away centerfield (which, in the vast PETCO Park is quite a feat) in the fourth inning for a two-run homer. Then, the very next inning, Morneau singled in Baker (another unlikely hero…he had just gotten his first major league hit!) to tie the score. Finally, Buscher singled home Kubel in the sixth inning to give the Twins a lead that would hold up the rest of the way.
As if the game needed any more heroes, just look at the pitching portion of the box score: Baker turned in a quality start (6 IP, 3 ER), while Crain, Reyes, Breslow, and Guerrier all registered holds. The Nathanator struck out two guys in the ninth for his 21st save.
Three series sweeps in a row?! What is going on here! Will the Twins ever lose again?! More and more, this season is starting to resemble the remarkable 2006 campaign, right down to the long winning streak in the summer months.
Also, this "hero of the day" business is very reminiscent of the 2002-2004 Twins teams, where each win featured an unlikely "power source". In reality, though, that is EXACTLY how teams need to play…Mauer, Morneau, or Cuddyer cannot carry the team every night. The "little guys" need to step up from time to time.
Preview (43-36, 2nd, 0.5 GB CWS): Nick Blackburn (6-4, 3.68) vs. Seth McClung (5-3, 3.79). Who will be the hero tomorrow night?!

John Bazemore, Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Indiana Pacers packed for an extended trip.
Good call.
George Hill and David West each scored 21 points and the Pacers withstood a furious Atlanta comeback in the fourth quarter, beating the Hawks 81-73 on Friday night to close out the opening-round playoff series four games to two.
After snapping a 13-game losing streak in Atlanta dating to December 2006, Indiana headed off to New York to take on the Knicks in the first two games of the conference semifinals. The opener is Sunday at Madison Square Garden, an itinerary the Pacers prepared for by packing for a possible six days on the road.
"Quick turnaround," said Indiana's Roy Hibbert, who led a dominating Pacers performance on the boards. "Enjoy tonight on the plane ride, get to New York, get something good in our bellies if stuff is still open."
New York finished off the Celtics 88-80 shortly after the horn sounded at Philips Arena. The Pacers were certainly glad they didn't have to return to Indianapolis for a decisive game against the Hawks.
"It's nice to be able to get it done here," Hibbert said. "We showed a lot of resolve when the other team made their run."
The home team had won every game until the Hawks returned to Atlanta and set a franchise playoff record with just nine points in the second quarter on 1-of-15 shooting. The defense broke down in the third, allowing Hill and West to combine for 22 points, and the Pacers built a 65-50 lead going to the fourth.
To their credit, the Hawks showed plenty of heart, slicing Indiana's lead to 76-73 on Al Horford's dunk with 2:13 remaining.
But the comeback fizzled. Atlanta didn't score again, setting up what figures to be a tumultuous offseason.
The Hawks have only three players who are definitely under contract for next season — Horford is the lone starter in the group — and it seems likely this will be a much different team next season. Plus, they very well could have a new coach. Larry Drew was in the final year of his contract, and general manager Danny Ferry figures to want his own man in the post as he heads to his second season.
Longtime stalwart Josh Smith, an Atlanta native who has played for the team ever since he was drafted out of high school eight seasons ago, is among those heading into free agency.
"There's plenty of time to think about what the future presents," Smith said. "I'm not really concerned about that right now."
If that's it for Smith in Atlanta, he missed his final shot.
How fitting on a night when the Hawks made only 26 of 78 (33 percent). Horford led with 15 points, while Smith and Devin Harris finished with 14.
Indiana bullied the Hawks much of the game, overcoming their own poor shooting (32 of 76) by bullying Atlanta in the lane. The Pacers finished with a staggering 53-35 lead on the boards.
Hibbert added 17 points and 11 rebounds. Lance Stephenson also had 11 rebounds.
Over the final two games of the series, the Pacers absolutely manhandled the Hawks on the glass, piling up a 104-63 rebounding edge.
"I'm very proud of our guys to come in here, a tough place to win," coach Frank Vogel said. "A particularly tough place for us to win. It's good to end that streak. But more importantly, it's good to advance and show the type of toughness you need to make a deep playoff run. To win with defense and rebounding, that's been our identity all year, and that was the key to the last two victories."

From American Idol's painfully scripted intros to the soapy world of The CW's teen dramas, Haley Reinhart is becoming a fixture on your prime-time television schedule. The former Idol contestant stopped by the 21st century iteration of 90210 with new single "Free" on Tuesday night, to perform the song and show the former students of West Bev what real talent looks like. Although she was playing herself, Haley did get to flaunt some acting skills, namely through holding her actual celebrity over one-time pseudo celeb Adrianna while making her question her boyfriend's faithfulness. (Nicely done!) Music stars seem to love this zip code, but for those who haven't watched the latest version of the show since Joe Jonas, Nelly or Snoop Dogg mingled with the young and the privileged, yes, the writers have now run the gamut of potential relationship permutations. They don't have the money hire new love interests every season. Watch Haley's debut below.

You've sipped so many different wines from around the world now – would you say you have a favourite?
You don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy great wine. Wine is all about enjoyment and there's a bottle out there to suit every palate and every pocket. The thing I love most about wine is that it brings people together, whether it's alongside food around a table, or a convivial sip with an old friend, it's a shared experience to revel in. If I had to pick a favourite wine moment it was during a splendid lunch halfway up the Eiffel Tower in the Jules Verne restaurant with Barbara Broccoli who produces the James Bond films. I was served a glass of fizz and asked to identify it. After a sip and a swirl, I declared it to be Champagne Bollinger R.D. 1975. I'm a huge James Bond fan and happened to know that was the bubbly served to 007 in the exact same restaurant halfway up the Eiffel Tower in A View To A Kill. I was given the empty bottle as a prize, and it proudly sits on my desk!
Any exclusive tips for how to jazz up a boring Sunday lunch with some fabulous drinks?
Be bold! Rather than select the usual bottle from the shelves on your weekly shop, or buying wines on offer, select a wine that offers genuinely great value as well as amazing quality. English fizz has been rising in quality and picking up stacks of awards the world over, often beating prestigious names from the Champagne region. Kick off with bubbly. I'd say for a bargain drop, Prosecco from Italy is outstanding, and you can customise it very easily into cocktails. Add a bit of peach purée for a Bellini, or create your own cordials – chopped rhubarb with equal quantities of sugar and water heated in a pan will give you a beautiful pink-red cordial to keep in the fridge, and added into Prosecco is yummy. With the main course, always match the wine to the biggest flavour on the plate – a bit of steamed fish is very mild but fish in a spicy curry sauce is a totally different wine match. And with your cheese course, experiment with white wines. Sauvignon Blanc is amazing with goat's cheese, for example.
How did you get into wine tasting?
I was a student in Edinburgh and walked past the local Oddbins where there was a free wine tasting going on. I must have been 20 and tasted a simple white wine called Terret made by the Lurton Brothers and it was so zingy, crisp and affordable at just over £3 that I was instantly inspired to find out more. A year later I was writing for film and TV with names like Pingu, Charlie and Lola and even a single day working with Wallace & Gromit (which was ace!) and then I won a competition called Wine Idol... but that's another story!
As the Queen's Diamond Jubilee is coming up, what drinks would you expect to see at the Garden Party?
English fizz! And probably a dose of Dubonnet in honour of the Queen Mother. The drinks should all come from somewhere in Britain – we've got amazing gin, whisky, fruit juices, mixers, beers, ciders as well as talented distillers, winemakers and brewers across the British Isles. And how about home brew? I bet someone in the Royal family brews a top drop under the kitchen sink at Buckingham Palace. Can I serve the drinks please?
What's your favourite thing about the BBC Good Food shows?
It's the audiences! I'm so lucky to host the Supertheatre with its fantastic atmosphere as well as top chefs cooking live on stage – and this year I've been given the chance to perform my very own solo show Cooking With Wine which I can reveal will feature the voice of Sir Roger Moore! The recipes I've created for the show are looking and tasting amazing – all of them have wine involved somewhere in them, and of course I'll be sharing tips on how to match food and wine throughout the show. My first solo show is Friday, April 13, at 4.30pm - thank goodness I'm not superstitious! Come along and ask me any questions you like.
No promises, but if your question tickles me, I might even give you a bottle of wine! Huzzah!

Jack Daniels Magazine Ad Concepts
Four single page adverts for Jack Daniels designed to run in either Spin or Rolling Stone magazine.
These ad concepts were originally contracted by Arnold Worldwide as brand explorations in positioning Jack Daniel's favorably with a 30-and-under aged market. Prior Jack Daniel's advertising relied heavily on lengthy copy and very traditional layout strategies that felt more at home in magazines like Time, Newsweek or The New Yorker.
These ads took existing brand assets (great taglines, vivid black-and-white photography, plus a longstanding brand history) and paired them with a postmodern layout sensibility to make the brand personality more familiar to a younger audience.
Art Direction: Michael Kilfoy & Paul Berkbigler

LCMS Adult Gathering Conference Advertisement
A single page advert for the 2007 LCMS Adult Gathering convention held in Orlando, Florida alongside the LCMS Youth Gathering. This ad was designed to run in The Lutheran Witness, the main media channel for reaching members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod – the primary audience for all convention materials.
The ad was developed to complement materials that adult congregation members would have already seen targeted at teens in their community.

Perio Protect Method Trade Ad
This trade ad was created to promote the initial launch of the Perio Protect dental treatment, a cleaning regimen that helps to treat and prevent gum disease. It ran only in magazines targeted towards dental practitioners.
The ad unveiled the primary identity mark and worked to demonstrate the way the Perio Protect methods fit perfectly within the spectrum of other treatment techniques dentists already recommend to their clients. Copy at the base of the ad described the method and discussed several seminar opportunities where dentists could learn more about this treatment option.

Southern Comfort Magazine Ad Concept
This single page advert for Southern Comfort was designed to run in either Spin or Rolling Stone magazine. It was originally contracted by Arnold Worldwide as a brand exploration in positioning Southern Comfort favorably with a 30-and-under aged market.
This ad concept was especially fun to produce because it involved an impromptu in-house photo shoot that I and my employer executed ourselves. We gathered a collection of eccentric, Mardi-Gras / party-themed props from our working studio, set up our faux-colada next to a set of neon lights and glass blocks in the studio space, tossed in some ice and shot away.
This photo / layout was my favorite out of the ten to fifteen concepts we produced in the space of a day on this project. Copy and the staged shot of the Southern Comfort bottle were provided by Arnold Worldwide.

This round is being judged by Colonel Walt Ford, USMC (Ret), the publisher for Marine Corps Association periodicals and editor of Leatherneck Magazine. Leatherneck, started by then-Brigadier General John A. Lejeune in 1917 as the Marine Barracks Quantico newspaper, and becoming a magazine published by the Marine Corps Institute in 1921, was an official publication of the Marine Corps, staffed by active duty Marines until 1972. It's mission continues to be to tell the Marine Corps story, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Searchable archived articles back to 1921 may be accessed via the magazine's website.
The Marine Corps has more than its share of myths and legends, but few Marines are surrounded by less fact and more fiction than Master Gunnery Sgt. Leland "Lou" Diamond and Gunnery Sgt. John "Manila John" Basilone. While these two definitely rate high in the pantheon of Leatherneck Lore as "Giants of the Corps," and previous bloggers have superbly presented much about each and his legacy, I'll add a few tidbits for your consideration and, for what it's worth, give you my take on each, relative to the established criteria: Service — Their actions while serving in uniform. Motivation — motivating stories/anecdotes/details about them. Legacy — How their actions continued to impact the Corps/world after they left. From that we'll consider which of these two legends has the more lasting impact on our Corps of Marines.
MGySgt Leland "Lou" Diamond (and not Diamond Lou, who would also make for a very interesting discussion), famously known as "The Honker" because of his loud, often obnoxious voice clearly heard above the din of barroom or battle, was heralded as the master-mortarman of World War II, and certainly was one of the most eccentric Devil Dogs to ever pull on dungarees.
He was a fairly old railroad switchman when he decided to take part in the action in France. Promoted to corporal before deploying from Quantico, the self-confident, cocky Marine cussed and killed the "Boche" from Belleau Wood to the Armistice. Returning Stateside, the salty Lou Diamond was discharged in August 1919. But he quickly found "civvies" didn't fit him well and came back to his family — the Corps. For the next two decades, America forgot about professional warfighters like Lou Diamond. But Diamond was happy. First he served as an armorer. Then he was in a machine gun company while doing duty with those machine gun artists, the Fourth Marines, in China.
The mortars became Lou's sweethearts and hundreds of stories began to circulate through the Corps about the amazing accuracy of Lou Diamond's 81mm mortars. His proficiency with the 37mm cannon and heavy machine guns gained the respect of the Japanese too.
Manila John Basilone — well, he's documented as coming to the Corps in July 1940 as a "doggie" and didn't even go to Marine boot camp. Is that important? Over the history of the Corps, there have been a great many soldiers see the light and come to the Corps. Boot camp? While few WWII leathernecks did not complete recruit training, a great many Marines who went to war as part of "The Fire Brigade" in August 1950 had not gone to boot camp — don't make the mistake of telling one of them he's not a real Marine!
Both these leathernecks were brave, dedicated to their profession and much loved by their Marines who would follow them to Hell and bring back the Devil if asked. In the case of Lou Diamond, he was awarded the Bronze Star for his actions in WWII, but this came years after the fact. Manila John was recommended for the Medal of Honor by the battalion commander of 1st Bn, 7th Marines, LtCol Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, for his actions on the night of Oct. 24-25, 1942. He was awarded the medal during a formation in Balcombe, Australia, in May 1943. Basilone also earned a Navy Cross leading his men on Iwo Jima, and the Purple Heart when he was killed in action on Iwo.
Service: GySgt John "Manila John" Basilone
Both these giants were loved by their Marines as professionals, but also because of their often eccentric personalities.
When Diamond was on liberty, he was known to have a beer bottle in each hand but was no roisterer. Still, he liked his beer. Once at a China station, where the nearest bar was far from the post, Diamond is said to have set up a Chinese man in the bar business right across the street from the Marine barracks. He was known to hold forth with salty tales even after the lights were out.
But Diamond has no edge on Basilone. Basilone's prodigious appreciation of alcoholic libations was heralded from the Philippines to the States, certainly in New Zealand and Australia, and his homemade "hooch" on Guadalcanal was legendary. Opposite of Lou, Manila John was known as a bit of a brawler on liberty who really could turn out your lights.
Family, well Lou was married to the Corps — right to the end. Manila John — he enjoyed the ladies until a very pretty young hash-slinger in a Camp Pendleton mess hall, Sgt. Lena Mae Riggi, won his heart. They married on July 7, 1944, and shortly thereafter Gunnery Sgt. Basilone was sent back to the Pacific where he was killed on Iwo Jima leading his Marines, Feb. 19, 1945.
She christened the Navy destroyer escort USS Basilone (DDE-824) in 1949 and later helped erect a statue in her husband's honor at Raritan, N.J. She never remarried, stating, "Once you have the best, you can't settle for less."
Lou's family members were all Marines and the families of his Marines. Many of the Marine children on base at San Diego imagined that the Lord had a scraggly white goatee, a lot of hash marks on his sleeve and a stern visage, just like Master Gunnery Sgt. Lou Diamond.
How did Lou Diamond look? Well, we know from the photo above about his goatee and white hair, but let's read what Gunny Sgt. Mickey Finn said on that subject:
"One day, coming back from Nicaragua, I got off the train at Quantico, and there was Lou Diamond with his bulldog, Bozo. This Bozo was the ugliest bulldog I ever saw. But, I would say that Bozo was considerably prettier than Diamond."
Beside Bozo, the homely bulldog at Quantico, Diamond had many pets. At the time the First Marine Division was preparing to leave New River for the South Seas, Diamond was the owner of a particularly ornery goat named "Rufus" and a couple of "trained" chickens whose names were said to be too impolite to print. These were left in New River under the care of a farmer. While he was in the Solomons, rumor had it that Diamond sweated about meat shortages back in the States because he was fearful that Rufus and the educated chickens might be barbecued in his absence.
Basilone? Well, he had no known pets.
Motivation: Master Gunnery Sgt. Lou Diamond
Both Lou Diamond and Manila John were media darlings. Both were on the cover of various magazines such as Time, Life and Leatherneck. In 1949, several million Americans once again re-heard Diamond's story via the "Cavalcade of America." Then in a June 1, 1955, television version on the "Cavalcade of America" originally entitled, "The Old Breed," and later dubbed "The Marine Who Lived 200 Years," Ward Bond played Lou embellishing the already ostentatious reputation of the by-then deceased "Diamond in the Rough."
Of course, Basilone is much more well-known today because of the 2010 HBO miniseries, "The Pacific." Basilone was also featured in the 1995 Iwo Jima documentary, "Red Blood, Black Sand."
Books, well I don't recall any on Lou Diamond, but two 2010 books quickly jump to mind on Manila John. One, billed as family-authorized and on the Commandant's Professional Reading List is, "I'm Staying With My Boys: The Heroic Life Of Sgt. John Basilone, USMC." Opinion only — a much more balanced, well-presented book on Manila John is "The Hero of the Pacific: The Life of Marine Legend John Basilone," by noted Marine veteran and author, now-deceased James Brady. Both books positively portray Manila John.
Legacy: GySgt Manila John Basilone
Every Marine today is taught of the heroism, leadership and commitment of Manila John Basilone. Lou Diamond is lost in history to most Marines. Bringing him to life again via this blog is fantastic and I'm proud to be part of the effort. But, in overall service, motivation and legacy, the tip of the hat and hand salute has to go to Gunnery Sgt. John "Manila John" Basilone.

Starvation Strikes Spread in Arabia: A Belgian in Dubai Joins Hunger Games
A prisoner who collapsed in holding cells at Dubai Courts on the third day of a starvation protest vowed to keep refusing food and water last night.
Olivier Loeb, a 51-year-old Belgian, is in his fourth week of hunger-striking in protest at a three-year sentence handed down after security cheques he wrote for his business bounced.
Loeb, who is married with a child, claims a business partner vowed to invest in his three general trading
companies, but later withdrew the cash.
The businessman, who has served only five months of his sentence, began refusing liquids as well as food on Tuesday and slumped unconscious after being taken to court for a scheduled appearance on Thursday morning.
Loeb said he was taken back to jail, where cellmates kept a vigil through the night, fearing he might die.
Loeb's family in Belgium and his wife in Dubai made repeated calls to consular staff at the Belgian Embassy in the UAE, asking them to contact the jail and request medical help, but say they were refused any emergency assistance.
Loeb was taken to Rashid Hospital under guard on Friday afternoon, where his distraught wife said she could only speak to him from a distance.
She said: "I managed to convince him to accept a glucose drip.
"The doctors told me that two more days without treatment and he would have passed away. I asked Olivier, 'please, this is putting so much pressure on everyone, it is not worth dying for'."
A nurse who treated Loeb said: "He was brought into the resuscitation room in a very poor condition. He was suffering severe dehydration and required immediate attention."
Loeb told 7DAYS yesterday: "I won't be drinking any more from today." He has previously said he is prepared to die rather than remain in jail.
He is one of a number of inmates believed to be hunger-striking over debt cases.

By the end of the 2013–2014 season, pianist Marc-André Hamelin will have distinguished himself by performing in three different subscription series offered by San Francisco Performances (SFP). Last November he joined the members of the Pacifica Quartet for a performance of Antonín Dvořák's Opus 81 quintet in A major for the SFP Chamber Series. He then returned at the end of January to give a solo recital in the Shenson Piano Series. At the end of this month, he will return for a final appearance, this time concluding the SFP Virtuosi Series in the company of violinist Anthony Marwood and clarinetist Martin Fröst.
The program will consist primarily of duo performances, but each half of the program will conclude with a trio. In the first half this will be a suite that Igor Stravinsky prepared for just those three instruments based on movements from his score for Histoire du soldat (soldier's tale). The concert will then conclude with Contrasts, composed by Béla Bartók in 1938 on a joint commission from violinist Joseph Szigeti and clarinetist Benny Goodman. The original version had only two movements, but Bartók added a slow movement after the first performance of that version. All three movements were performed together for the first time on April 21, 1940 in Carnegie Hall with Bartók on piano joining Szigeti and Goodman.
Only one composer will be represented on the program as composing for both clarinet and violin. In the first half Fröst and Hamelin will perform the first of two pieces that Claude Debussy called "rhapsody." (The second was composed for saxophone.) In the second half Marwood will join Hamelin to perform one of Debussy's last works, his only sonata for violin and piano. Fröst will also perform the clarinet sonata composed by Francis Poulenc, and the program will begin with Franz Schubert's D. 895 rondo in B minor for violin and piano, the only piece to be performed that was not composed in the twentieth century.
This recital will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the SFJAZZ Center (201 Franklin Street, on the northwest corner of Fell Street) on Monday, April 28. (Note that this is a change of venue from the originally planned use of the Nourse Theater.) Ticket prices are $70, $55, and $38. Tickets may be purchased through the event page on the SFP Web site. Tickets may also be purchased by calling 415-398-6449.

There are few games that have such a successful and established past as the Wolfenstein franchise. The games have been around since the early '80s, but didn't achieve mass popularity until id Software's 1992 imagining, Wolfenstein 3D. In total the series boasts an impressive 8 titles, including the newest release, Wolfenstein: The New Order. The New Order was developed by MachineGames and tells the story of an alternate universe in which the Nazis win the war and take over the world. Fans of the series will be happy to know that William "B.J." Blazkowicz once again makes his return and shares much of his likeness to that of his 8-bit counterpart. Aside from the game's protagonist, The New Order holds true to its name and shares very little in common with its predecessors.
The story begins three years after the events of last entry in the series. We find our hero, along with several other Allied troops, launching an attack on a Nazi fortress that houses the laboratories of the infamous General Wilhelm, more affectionately known as "Deathshead". The Allied effort is an attempt to thwart the mounting technologies that are powering the German war machine, but the mission ultimately fails and is met with a gruesome outcome. Most of the crew is killed and B.J. suffers severe head trauma when he's struck with shrapnel during an explosion. B.J. and the bits of steel rattling around in his cranium are rescued and sent to a Polish mental hospital where he spends the next 14 years gazing out a window. After a visit from a Nazi commander with orders to close the institution, B.J. shakes off a decade and a half of atrophy, springs to his feet, and begins blasting his way to freedom. Aside from the fact that B.J. goes from a near comatose state to wielding two high-powered assault rifles within a matter of seconds, it's here that the game's compelling story begins to take hold.
The year is now 1960 and despite Allied efforts the Nazis have won the war and gone on to conquer the world. In a dramatic sequence we learn that the United States has surrendered after the Nazi's dropped an Atomic Bomb on American soil. All hope seems lost until B.J. and his chainsaw interrogate a German officer and discover that a small faction of resistance fighters still exists. Our protagonist then sets out to save what's left of the resistance in an effort to overthrow the Nazi regime and save the world. While the plot is somewhat theatrical in terms of presentation, it does offer an interesting perspective on what things might have been like had the war ended differently. The team at MachineGames has done a great job creating a detailed and believable alternate world run by the Nazis. Famous album covers are now adorned with Swastikas, Nazi flags hang from light poles, and armed militants walk the empty streets.
Each of the games' 16 chapters will take you through several amazing locales around the world, and even the solar system. Unlike most first person shooters, it's The New Order's story that makes it worthwhile. As far as the game play, there are a few concerns with some of the mechanics. The guns don't feel as weighty and realistic as in other titles and the pickup system can be quite cumbersome. Ammo is scarce and replenishing your supply often requires picking up what's dropped from fallen enemies, seemingly one round at a time. This grows increasingly frustrating over time and even worse when you find yourself scrambling from cover during a firefight in search of more bullets. Some of the button mapping isn't as intuitive as we've seen before either. For example, on the PS4, pushing the R3 button executes both a melee attack or knife throw, depending on how long you hold it down. This can be severely annoying when approaching a supply crate and instead of smashing it open with a quick stab you send one of your knives skidding across the floor.
On the PS4 the graphics are fairly impressive, but don't quite rank with the likes of Second Son or Shadows Fall. The game's visual approach seamlessly blends photorealism with a stylistic twist that keeps things fairly interesting. However, it would've been more interesting to see that exaggeration pushed a bit further to make the game standout more. That's not to say that the character designs are lackluster because most of them are quite polished. The same level of polish can be seen in the overall presentation of the game from its sleek UI to the elaborate set designs. The New Order does struggle with some gameplay issues but manages to hit some really high notes with its story and character development. Although Wolfenstein: The New Order doesn't offer much in the evolution of the FPS genre, the story does make it a fairly memorable experience. The game's powerful narrative not only draws players into the experience, but also adds another chapter to the already rich storyline of the franchise. Newcomers to the series will certainly find enough to draw them in and veterans will be happy to see that The New Order pays brilliant homage to its predecessors. Via a "nightmare" sequence players can even transport back in time to 1992 and once again navigate through the planar, pixelated hallways of Wolfenstein 3D. It's this kind of appreciation for the franchise that not only makes The New Order a solid shooter, but also the best entry in the series since Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

The test satellite series progressed from all-American to all-indigenous satellite components.
Taiwan's first satellite, ROCSAT (Republic of China Satellite) was built by TRW for Taiwan's National Space Program Office. ROCSAT carried a Ka-band experimental communications payload, an ocean color imager experiment to study plankton distribution for fisheries management, and an instrument to measure thermal plasma in the equatorial ionosphere. It was equipped with a small hydrazine orbital adjustment engine.
ROCSAT-2, scheduled for 2003, was to observe and monitor the terrestrial and marine environment and natural resources throughout Taiwan, its remote islands and surrounding ocean. It would also carry a sprite imager to study electrodynamic coupling between thunderclouds and the upper atmosphere. Taiwan contracted for launch of ROCSAT-2 on an American Taurus booster.
On 4 May 2001 Taiwan and the United States on Thursday signed an agreement to produce and launch by the end of 2005 six ROCSAT-3 micro satellites for weather forecasting. Taiwan companies were to be awarded contracts for the major components. ROCSAT-3 was part of Taiwan's 15-year space program launched in October 1991 at an estimated cost of $ 413 million.
Gross mass: 400 kg (880 lb).
First Launch: 1999.01.27.
Last Launch: 2008.10.01.

The doctrine of the Rapture can be traced back to the early to mid 19th century. Before that time, there was no mention of a two-phased eschatological (end times) coming of Christ. In 1830 Mary Macdonald reportedly received a vision from God regarding the Rapture.
John Darby, of the Plymouth Brethren, fascinated with the events surrounding this teaching popularized it. With the Oxford University publication of the Scofield Bible financed by Zionist, Samuel Untermeir, around 1908, the Rapture doctrine began to infiltrate Christian churches. It's success has been nothing less than phenomenal.
However, little did ministers know that the Scofield Bible was a Zionist initiative whose purpose was to create support for Zionism and a Jewish state. According to Charles Carlson, this was before 1948 so they had no reason to suspect they were being used to create favor and support for what is today known as Israel. See the video documentary.
Another connection not often mentioned is that of Charles Darwin. We get to his work via Frances Galton, who made his wealth from the slave trade and is known as the father of eugenics—the science of selective breeding that proposed human improvement of the species by encouraging or permitting reproduction of only those people with genetic characteristics judged desirable.
Frances Galton was the wealthy half-cousin of Charles Darwin and financed his "Origin of Species" only that was not its original title. The original title is: On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle of Life." This book became the "science" that justified Zionism according to the following quotes.
The theory of evolution produces youth without Christian principles who energetically propel the moral spiral downward. Unsurprisingly, evolution is still one of the most powerful tools for Jewish supremacists, next to communism/liberalism and persuasive media. The theory corrupts and weakens human societies, making them vulnerable to Judaic/secularist one-world rule…Why doesn't the scientific community abandon Darwin's failed hypotheses? Simple: The Jewish-dominated media and educational establishment are determined that, like unconditional support of Israel, Holocaust mythology, hate laws, and "civil rights" favoritism, there will be no end to the relentless force-feeding of evolution. Belief in evolution is a prerequisite for Jewish supremacism's new-world order.
http://zionistoutrage.com/2011/05/17/jewish-supremacists-use-evolution-t... (This web page is no longer active but the information is yet available on the internet archive WayBackMachine:
According to John Hagee's book, 4 Blood Moons Something Is About to Happen, he argues that the end of the age is the second coming of Christ, but not the rapture of the church. However, the Bible teaches that the end of the age stands opposite to the Christian age (what is known in Scripture as the age to come).
The Age To Come
The age to come is the age in which the resurrection has occurred.
"But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are the sons of God, being sons of the resurrection" (Lk. 21:35-36)
Resurrection and the second coming (parousia) are equal in time according to 2 Timothy 4:1.
"I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ who will [is about to, mello] judge the living and the dead at his appearing and His kingdom:"
- judgement
- of the living and the dead
- at Christ's appearing
- and [at] his kingdom
This means the resurrection is concurrent with the second coming of Christ. However, Dispensationalists such as Hagee teach that the Rapture occurs after the second coming. This is apparently contrary to the text above.
As we note from the text in Luke, resurrection comes in the "age to come", which is the eternal age that has no end. It is incorrect to place a Rapture at the end of an age that has no end. The age to come also equals the kingdom age and it is emphatically stated the kingdom age has no end, Isa. 9:7, Lk. 1:32-33.
How Do We Determine When The Age To Come Arrives?
It arrives at the end of the age called "this age" in Scripture which is always in juxtaposition to the age to come. Consider the following texts:
Concerning the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, God said it will neither be forgiven him, either in "this age" or in "the age to come", (Matt. 12:31).
In a similar text regarding persecutions, Jesus tells his disciples they would not only receive a hundredfold now in "this time"...but also in "the age to come", eternal life. Compare Luke who uses "this present time" versus "the age to come" (Lk. 18:30).
What is the present time or "this age" of which Jesus spoke? He spoke of the age in which he and the apostles then lived. They lived in the Jewish age. It was the age of Moses and the Law.
In 1 Corinthians 2:6-8, Paul spoke of the rulers of this age who were coming to nothing, meaning their rule and authority was about to end. He identified the "rulers of this age" as those who crucified the Lord of glory.
In 2 Cor. 4:4, he said the "god of this age" meaning Satan blinded the minds of those who did not believe. It is the unbelieving Jews whose eyes Paul said were "blinded". "What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. (Rom. 11:7).
Therefore, "this age" which stands over against the "age to come" in Scripture is the Jewish age.The age to come and which followed the Jewish age is the now present Christian age which has no end.
The End of the Age and the Destruction of the Temple
The Jewish age came to an end when the Romans destroyed their temple in 70A.D.
But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the mist of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Lk. 21:20-22)
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things things take place." (Lk 21:32).
All their genealogies were destroyed rendering it impossible to trace their lineage back through the Levitical priesthood. Thus it is impossible to reconstitute the temple worship according to Moses Law.

O'Shea: We must improve
by Stuart Vose
Defender's honest assessment following defeat.
John O'Shea says Sunderland must improve quickly in the wake of Tuesday night's Capital One Cup defeat to Middlesbrough.
Scott McDonald's first-half goal decided the Wear-Tees derby in the visitors' favour as Boro progressed to the quarter-finals.
O'Shea admitted the defeat represented a missed opportunity for Sunderland and says the squad will knuckle down ahead of this weekend's game against Aston Villa.
"Chances to get into the quarter-finals of a cup don't come around every week and we've let ourselves down," he said afterwards.
"Middlesbrough came with a good game plan and we just came up with no ideas to break it down. It was quite comfortable for them. We couldn't keep them under any consistent pressure.
"We need to drastically improve on this very quickly because we have a massive game now on Saturday against Aston Villa.
"We have to improve on a lot of things and it will start as soon as the lads come into training.
"We will have a look back at a couple of things but we have to pick ourselves up very quickly. As I said, the chance to get into the quarter final of a cup is an opportunity we needed to grasp, but we didn't."
O'Shea added: "We have to be creating more chances in games, especially at home and we need to start playing like a team and that is the main thing we will be working on for Saturday.
"It's going to take a lot of hard work over the next few days but we will make sure that our attitude is spot on, make sure we sure the right commitment and we need to score goals and win matches.
"It's okay drawing games but if eventually you keep drawing games then it's a risky game. We are a strong team and we know we need more goals."

Detroit goaltender Chris Osgood made his first appearance in net since a December 15 loss in Colorado, stopping 33 shots and two shootout attempts to lead the Red Wings to a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild.
Osgood had been struggling before a groin injury kept him out for over two weeks, posting a 3.19 goals-against average and a .876 save percentage in sharp contrast to his 12-2-4 record.
"I want to win, that's all," Osgood said. "It's a fresh start to the year, a new chance to have a real good second half, and that's what matters most to me. The most important thing for me is I feel real good for the first time all year, so that's good."
Pavel Datsyuk scored a highlight-reel goal in the shootout, faking out Wild netminder Josh Harding before putting the puck into the top of the net. Combined with Osgood's stops on Krys Kolanos and Mikko Koivu and a missed chance by Brent Burns it gave the Red Wings the win.
Detroit scored first with 3:43 remaining in the opening period. Henrik Zetterberg took the puck behind the net during a Detroit line change and four Wild players followed him, leaving Mikael Samuelsson wide open as he jumped off the bench and into the play for a one-timer into the back of the net.
The Red Wings carried that lead into the third period but lost it quickly as the Wild scored twice in the first minute of the final frame.
Just 35 seconds into the period, Owen Nolan put a backhander past Osgood from in front of the net, scoring on the rebound of a Brent Burns chance from the blue line just after a five-on-three for Minnesota expired.
Sixteen seconds later, Antii Miettinen capitalized on a turn over by Niklas Kronwall and snapped a shot past Osgood to put the Wild in front.
Detroit tied the game on a disputed power play goal with 4:37 remaining. Nicklas Lidstrom fired a shot off the glass behind the goal and as it bounced back out front, Johan Franzen swatted it out of the air and into the net. Initially ruled to have been played with a high stick, video replay overturned the call and made it a goal.
The Red Wings will be back on the ice on Tuesday when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Notes: Harding stopped 35 of 37 shots against and made a save on Henrik Zetterberg in the shootout... Brett Lebda was a healthy scratch in favor of Derek Meech, who got his first playing time on defense since November 11... The Red Wings' first power play of the game came with 8:12 remaining in the third period.
Wow, not just a quiet night, completely silent.
I caught most of the game out of the corner of my eye. Good to see Ozzie come back with a win, the two saves in the shootout were big.
Datsyuk's shootout goal was incredible. Kronner's giveaway on the second Minnesota goal not so much. I can't believe they allowed Franzen's goal. I like it but I thought for sure they'd keep the call on the ice.
