Claustrophobia: claus·tro·pho·bi·a (klô'strə-fō'bē-ə) n. An abnormal fear of being in narrow or enclosed spaces.
If you suffer at all from the above-named condition, then believe us when we tell you — you want to stay as far away from THQ's latest horror shooter Metro 2033 as possible. We're not joking either.
To talk about Metro 2033, you must first understand what this property actually is. Back in 2002 Russian author and journalist Dmitry A. Glukhovsky published his first book, Metro 2033, on his own personal website granting free access to it to anyone in the world. The story was an instant sensation in his homeland, attracting thousands upon thousands of readers. Finally in 2005 Dmitry's sci-fi/horror super hit was picked up by a more traditional publisher and has since become a best seller and a half. By 2009 over 400,000 copies of Metro 2033 were sold in Russia alone. Foreign book rights were sold to more than 20 countries. And now, dear reader, now comes a first person shooter that does nearly the impossible … it captures most of the things that made the tale so popular and throws you into it to experience all manners of post-apocalyptic horrors.
In the year 2013 a man-made apocalypse has scorched the surface of the Earth. Those lucky enough to survive took to the underground as the outside world had become a poisonous wasteland. Things had gone to hell in a hurry, and mankind had been forced into a new and frightening dark age. Fast forward two decades and whatever life forms that survived on the surface have been transformed into hideous mutants. Emphasis on the "hideous".
But just like everything else … evil evolves as well. Along with the monsters who populate this nightmarish landscape, a new menace has reared its head. Known only as "The Dark Ones", these creatures possess the ability to kill using only their psychic powers. That's right. They don't even have to touch you.
In the game you play as a young Metro dweller named Artyom, who ends up being the only person who can uncover the truth behind all of this bleak new world's horrors. This is a very cinematic game, and to tell you any more about the story would end up spoiling it for you. So in the interest of keeping the many twists and turns of this tale intact for you to happen upon, let's move on to what you can expect from the game itself.
For the sake of realism you don't have much of a HUD, and everything the game makes you do is handled in a really organic fashion. For instance — Need to look at your map or consult your compass? There are no onscreen prompts or cheats. You have to take out your handy clipboard and consult it manually. But wait … you're underground, and as you can imagine, lighting is kind of sparse. So, with your other free hand you have to light your lighter so that you can read. Don't spend too much time doing so because with both of your hands tied-up, you can't engage in the many scenes of combat waiting for you.
Speaking of which … while guns (both real and sensationalized) are in abundance, one thing that is not is ammunition. In fact, ammo is what the denizens of this brave new world use for currency. You'll find yourself spending a lot of bullets to buy more guns, medkits, and of course new filters for your gas mask. Thankfully, the game's setting is littered with corpses that you may loot liberally. Still, you'll want to be trying for the quick kills via headshots whenever possible as a means to conserve that precious hot lead.
As you explore this startling yet dismal world, you'll be traversing through mainly two types of environments: the underground subway tunnels and the frozen dead world that is the surface. Should you want to go topside, you'll need that gas mask we just told you about. There's one little thing to be mindful of, though … the filters on your mask don't last forever so you'll constantly want to be on the lookout for more via looting and of course buying them in the myriad of shops found strewn about the labyrinth of subway tunnels.
Two types of environments may sound kind of skimpy to you, but let me be clear … the graphics in this game are truly top-notch. Textures are spot on and sharp, and everything from the lighting cast by flickering bulbs or from the iridescent fungi that litter the tunnels creates an atmosphere so thick and so brilliantly horrific that you'll be spending lots of time wanting to see what lies behind every corner even though your brain is telling you to do the smart thing. Stay the course. Maybe shoot out a light or two so that you can stealth your way past a creature. That's another good way of saving ammo.
Metro 2033 offers one of the single most immersive gameplay experiences you're likely to have all year. From the bustling towns that spring to life with activity to the many passageways that connect the settlements to the topside fallen cities, you not only play through the atmosphere of this game, you live through it. That's the best damned compliment I think I can give it.
There are a few things keeping it from a perfect score, however. During some of the game's more intense moments when the screen is packed with swarming enemies, occasionally there's a definite dip in the frame rate. This is far from a deal breaker, though, as it never inhibits the otherwise silky smooth gameplay. Also, there are plenty of times during Metro 2033 when the AI will have you scratching your head and wondering, "What the hell are they doing that for?" Couple those minor annoyances with the fact that there are no multi-player options at all, and you're left with a great game that falls just short of true perfection.
It should be noted that the book had a completely nihilistic ending. The game itself gives you two possible endings, but holy shit, are you gonna have to earn the more "hopeful" one if you want to see it. Just like Mass Effect 2 or Heavy Rain, some of the decisions you make while playing will affect your outcome. Not to mention possibly haunt the hell out of you the whole time you're playing. This ups the replay value a bit, and that's a very good thing.
If you're looking for something a bit different, a breath of fresh air in a time when even the best first person shooters feel a little on the cookie-cutter side of the fence, then Metro 2033 is your perfect prescription. This could very well be the sleeper hit of the year.
Pack heavy. Shoot sparingly. Try to survive.

Good evening
If it isn't Ishida Ayumi~
Today we had a single event in Roppongi
Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru (LIVEver.) outfits
At the 3rd event
I presented my new impression
……I was pretty confident about it\(^^)/←
However, even though I've done it a bunch of times before, if anyone saw that impression today, please lock that memory away
…if the topic of nattou comes again
…maybe the opportunity to do it right will come up?!lol
I want to continue to make more fun memories
At the Osaka event we had a
「Generation Battle」
We had a competition to see which generation would sing Suki na Senpai 、、、
10th gen、、
didn't win、、、
I really wanted to sing
I was reeeally frustrated
I felt like I wanted to cry and got all flustered (lol)(lol)
But all the fans
「You'll win next time!」
「I'm cheering on 10th gen!」
I'm sorry we couldn't win……*crying*…
even though I practiced a lot、
and had rehearsals、
and really wanted to sing、
the other members did the same
When we have another battle, I don't want to lose!!
A sign of liveliness from 10th gen
to make you smile
Funny face+Mustache stamp
This turned into a really weird photo!
The mustaches fit too perfectly!←
We've been having a lot of rehearsals lately,
so getting to perform in front of people was fun
Thank you for cheering us on
See you ayumin

NHL negotiatorsready to try again
So much for a two-week break. Just over a week since the last set of failed negotiations, the NHL and the locked-out players' association will return to the bargaining table Monday.
Conversations that restarted Friday between NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr produced enough positive movement Saturday to set up another face-to-face meeting that the sides hope will lead to an agreement to save the hockey season.
Commissioner Gary Bettman suggested to union executive director Donald Fehr this week that the sides take two weeks off from negotiations. The union maintained its desire to keep talking, and now bargaining is back on.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Jared Cowen will be out of action for 6-8 months following surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. The club said Cowen, 21, is expected to make a full recovery from Saturday's operation in New York.
GOLF: Choi leads LPGA Titleholders by one stroke
U.S. Women's Open champion Na Yeon Choi was steady after an early 3-putt bogey and finished with a 3-under 69 that gave her a one-shot lead over Ai Miyazato in the LPGA Titleholders at Naples, Fla.
What kept Choi in the lead was not making many mistakes of her own. It has been that way all week at the LPGA Tour's final event. Choi is the only player to post every round in the 60s at The TwinEagles Club. So Yeon Ryu, the LPGA rookie of the year, had a 68 and was two shots back.
Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain shot a 2-under 68 to share the third-round lead with New Zealand's Michael Campbell at the Hong Kong Open.
Defending champion Ian Poulter shot an 8-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over Adam Scott after the third round of the Australian Masters in Melbourne.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson closed in on his first European Tour victory in three years, shooting a 3-under 69 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the South African Open in Johannesburg.
Robert Streb shot a 3-under 69 in rainy conditions at to take a one-stroke lead over Billy Horschel after the third round in the Pebble Beach Invitational.
BITS & PIECES: O.C.'s Wagner wins again in figure skating
Orange County's Ashley Wagner, competing despite a head cold, won her second ISU Grand Prix title of the season with a convincing victory at the Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris.
Wagner, 21, the reigning U.S. champion, landed six triple jumps in Saturday's long program to finish with an overall score of 190.63.
Russia's Elizaveta Tuktamysheva with 179.62 and Julia Lipnitskaia with 179.31 were second and third.
Wagner last month won Skate America, the season's first Grand Prix event.
The Czech Republic won the to take a 2-1 lead over defending champion Spain in tennis' Davis Cup final in Prague, moving one victory victory from its first title as an independent nation. Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek rallied to beat Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5, 6-3, to give the Czechs the edge going into today's reverse singles.
South Korea's Sang-Hwa Lee won her second 500-meter World Cup speedskating race of the season, finishing in 37.92 seconds. Lee beat American Heather Richardson, who finished in 38.13 seconds. The two also finished in the same order in the event Friday.
Latvia's Martins Dukurs extended his World Cup dominance, claiming gold in the men's skeleton event at Utah Olympic Park in Park City. His combined time for two runs was 1 minute, 39.71 seconds, edging Germany's Alexander Kroeckel (1:39.76). Russia's Alexander Tretjyakov won bronze (1:39.82).
Brian Viloria claimed the WBA flyweight title at the Sports Arena as he defeated Hernan "Tyson" Marquez via TKO in the 10th round.
Adrien Broner stopped Antonio DeMarco in the eighth round to take the WBC lightweight championship at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. Broner (25-0, 21 KOs) dominated from the outset, punishing DeMarco (28-3-1, 21 KOs) until DeMarco's corner threw in the towel.
Britain's Carl Froch stopped American Yusaf Mack in the third round to retain the IBF super-middleweight title in Nottingham, England. Mack keeled over after being struck with a right-left combination into his ribs from Froch the fight ending with 28 seconds left in the round.
Oklahoma State's top-ranked men and Oregon's women won NCAA cross country titles in Louisville, Ky.

Traffic jams are easing on the Walt Whitman Bridge, as the $140 million redecking enters its final phase about six months ahead of schedule.
Construction crews removed concrete barriers Friday -- ending the so-called "cattle chutes" -- and DRPA chief engineer Michael Venuto said Wednesday that "if everything stays on track, we should be wrapping up this fall."
Originally, the work was to be completed in early 2014.
The seven-phase redecking project that began in 2010 includes removal of the suspended span, installation of a lightweight grid deck, structural improvements, new parapets, and a new steel-shell movable barrier.
Project updates are posted on a dedicated website, www.deckthewalt.com, and also may be heard on the Walt Whitman Bridge traffic advisory radio station at 530 AM.

Betty White: Still Funny After All These Years
As she celebrates her 90th birthday, the ''Golden Girls'' fave is still making us laugh; see choice roles from the past ten years or so that show her humor has never gone out of style, from ''Ally McBeal'' to a Comedy Central Roast to ''SNL''
Slide 1 of 16
Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl (2012) White's nine decades of brilliance were feted by a stunning array of Hollywood heavy hitters, including Tina Fey, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Hugh Jackman, Amy Poehler, Morgan Freeman, Ray Romano, Ellen DeGeneres, Carl Reiner, William Shatner, and Chevy Chase. Even POTUS himself, Barack Obama, showed up to playfully rib White to "please produce a copy of [her] long-form birth certificate." Single and ready to mingle, White also showed she's still got it by sharing a blush-inducing smooch with Chuck star Zachary Levi after he proposed marriage to the super senior cougar.

text: Hi, If a symbol in clojure can be: list) then I think you are out of luck. How can you ever know if it is a paren or not? If the symbol is instead represented like this in your text file: list\) then you will need tup write your own symbol lexer which would probably look like this: "\\(\\w\\|[\\][()]\\)+" ^ ^---^-- chars to be quoted +--- symbol chars you would then need to make sure your syntax table lists parens as parens, not as symbol constituents. In this case, it is all about the lexer. The grammar should be fine.

Skip to comments.Did You Know About the Relics of the Three Wise Men?
Posted on 01/04/2010 10:43:57 AM PST by GonzoII
When I was in college, I journeyed to Cologne, Germany and visited the city's glorious cathedral. I was a Protestant at the time, but I remember being amazed that people had been building this cathedral for so many centuries. It is one of the greatest Gothic churches of all time.
(Excerpt) Read more at cantuar.blogspot.com ...
geeez Gonzo, been there too, as a youth, and NEVER KNEW about the Golden casket or the bones of the three wise men...wonder how St. Helena got them all together? At any rate...I hope I get a chance to go back. It is an AMAZING cathedral!
Sweet! Did they live to see the Crucifixion?
There is a Benedictine abbey near Boston which has first class relics of the three Magi.
I just found out that the Holy Grail has never been lost. It's on display in Valencia, Spain. Of course, any chalice in any Catholic church is also a holy grail as well.
hmm, never knew about and thanks for the info. The great thing about it is that they saw the birth of the Messiah.
Our current "messiah", no one has ever seen where he was born.
It's always amazed me that the remains and final resting place of the foster father of Jesus himself should be so .......incognito..............if that's the right word.
And I did read that they returned back home again. So, what did the Queen do? Go hunting for them (i.e., their dead bodies) in the Parthian Empire or rather the Sassanid Empire later?
Sorry, it just doesn't make any sense, especially considering that a large envoy of officials from a neighboring deadly enemy -- enters Jerusalem, and asks the sitting King (at the time) where the new-born King is. You can bet they had ample security and military to fight a war if they needed to, when they came into Jerusalem.
That's why they caused quite a stir in Jerusalem at the time.
I have a Grail as well. It is very nice. And NO you cannot see it. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time you silly English Ka-niggits.
Sweet! Did they live to see the Crucifixion?
I would sincerely doubt it. And the Bible says nothing more about them, once they returned to the Parthian Empire.
But, really..., if they had dared to return again to Roman lands, it would have probably meant a war would break out. For one thing, a envoy like that, with some big-time major officials in transit with it, doesn't march on another enemy country's lands without a possible major altercation.
The managed doing it one time, and I doubt they would try that again. You can bet they were beefed up big-time with enough military support the first time they came through -- there probably wouldn't be a second time for them to intrude upon Roman territory.
Marco Polo on Persia's "Christian" fire worshippers
From Chapter XI (Of the province of Persia) of Marco Polo's "The Travels; The Description of the world" written in 1298. This translation is by William Marsden, revised by Thomas Wright (Konemann Travel Classics, Koln, Germany, 1996).
Persia was anciently a large and noble province, but it is now in great part destroyed by the Tartars. In Persia there is a city which is called Saba, from whence were the three magi who came to adore Christ in Bethlehem; and the three are buried in that city in a fair sepulchre, and they are all three entire with their beards and hair. One was called Baldasar, the second Gaspar, and the third Melchior.
Marco inquired often in that city concerning the three magi, and nobody could tell him anything about them, except that the three magi were buried there in ancient times. After three days' journey you come to a castle which is called Palasata, which means the castle of the fire-worshippers, and it is true that the inhabitants of that castle worship fire, and this is given as the reason.
The men of that castle say, that anciently three kings of that country went to adore a certain king who was newly born, and carried with them three offerings, namely, gold, frankincense, and myrth: gold, that they might know if he were an earthly king; frankincense, that they might know if he were God; and myrth, that they might now if he were a mortal man.
When these magi were presented to Christ, the youngest of the three adored him first, and it appeared to him that Christ was of his stature and age. The middle one came next, and then the eldest, and to each he seemed to be of their own stature and age. Having compared their observations together, they agreed to go all to worship at once, and then he appeared to them all of his true age.
When they went away, the infant gave them a closed box, which they carried with them for several days, and then becoming curious to see what he had given them, they opened the box and found in it a stone, which was intended for a sign that they should remain firm as a stone in the faith they had received from him.
When, however, they saw the stone, they marvelled, and thinking themselves deluded, they threw the stone into a certain pit, and instantly fire burst forth in the pit. When they saw this, they repented bitterly of what they had done, and taking some of the fire with them they carried it home.
And having placed it in one of their churches, they keep it continually burning, and adore that fire as a god, and make all their sacrifices with it; and if it happen to be extinguished, they go for more to the original fire in the pit where they threw the stone, which is never extinguished, and they take of none other fire. And, therefore, the people of the country worship fire.
Marco was told all this by the people of the country; and it is true that one of those kings was of Saba; and the second was Dyava, and the third was of the castle. [ go to bottom of page to see reference... ]
Must drive you nuts when the "We Three Kings" song comes on the radio. Your point is well taken though. Somewhere along the time line of Christianity the true story of these three men and their journey to find Jesus, was twisted badly.

Well, if folks would just stick to the Bible they would be fine... LOL...
It's when you get all these so-called "traditions" added to the Bible that you get into trouble.
Just stick with what the Bible says and you'll be fine... (and forget the songs on the radio and all that other garbage... :-) ...)
Now..., I don't mean to not have fun singing carols and stuff like that, but don't make Christmas carols the source of of truth regarding the Son of God... LOL...
Many of us skeptical Protestants suspect that Queen Mother Helena's tour of the Holy Land in the early 4th Century was the original tourist scam. It seems that whatever she was looking for the local folks seemed to be able to locate "miraculously" and most of it ended up in the hands of the church.
I haven't heard any tales about what the "guides" got out of it but I doubt they went unrewarded.
>> and myrth, that they might now if he were a mortal man. <<
You mean, "and myrth, that they may find out if he has a sense of humor."
Either that, or you mean myrrh.
By Dr. Ann Nyland
At this time of year, many of us see nativity scenes every time we leave the house. These usually feature three Wise Men looking at the newborn baby Jesus or handing him little gifts. You'd be hard put to find someone who doesn't think that three Wise Men actually visited the newborn baby Jesus.
Does the Bible say three Wise Men gave gifts to a newborn baby Jesus? No! You won't find this in the King James Version, the NIV, The Message, you won't find this in any Bible version!
What does the Bible say? The Bible says that after Jesus was born, Wise Men traveled hundreds of miles to Jerusalem to look for the one who would be called the "King of the Jews". When Herod heard this, he got quite upset because the Senate had appointed him Ruler of the Jews some time earlier and he was a ruthless guy known for murdering his competition. He called a meeting of the chief priests and Bible scholars to ask if they knew anything about this. They told him that the one who would be called "King of the Jews" would be born in Bethlehem.
Herod then called the Wise Men to a secret meeting, and told them to look for this child in Bethlehem and report his whereabouts to him. He pretended his intention was to go there to worship him, but they didn't fall for that! Anyway, they headed off to Bethlehem and found Jesus in a house, as we are told in Matthew 2:11. Now instead of heading back to Herod, they took off in the other direction back to their own country.
Matthew 2:16-17 says that when Herod realized that the Wise Men had made a fool of him, he got extremely angry. He ordered the death of all the male children up to the age of two years old in Bethlehem and the whole area around it. Verse 17 says that he'd figured out the age from the information supplied by the Wise Men. So any Bible version you pick up will say the same thing - there were no Wise Men present when Jesus was baby, not a single one! They found Jesus as a child close to the age of 2 and living in a house. Remember that after Jesus was born, the Wise Men traveled many hundreds of miles from Persia to Jerusalem to look for him. It took them a while to get there - remember, they couldn't catch a plane!
Now, the Bible doesn't mention the number of these "Wise Men". No doubt the number "three" came into popular belief because they were three different types of gifts - and notice there were not three gifts, just different types of gifts!
History tells us that "Wise Men" were very wealthy, multi-millionaires in today's terms, and traveled with cavalry for protection for themselves and all their luxurious stores. Persians were known in those times for their over-the-top luxury. When they found Jesus, it is highly unlikely that they handed him little gifts the size of a shoe box, as those nativity scenes suggest. More likely it took several people to unload all the treasure from the camels! Gold, frankincense and myrrh were very expensive gifts, this is all well documented historically.
Dr. Ann Nyland is an ancient Greek language scholar and lexicographer known as the translator of The Source New Testament available at http://www.smithandstirling.com Her research field is word meaning from New Testament times.
I'm just full of myrth right now... LOL...
Have been to mass at the Koln Cathedral also took
a tour of the inside area. Wonderful History
and art.
Chill. "Magi" is just an Anglicization of "Magoi," used to instruct one using English phonemes of the soft "g." I'm not sure how you think your description varies from tradition, other than what you suppose they rode in on; Any camel is just an artistic extrapolation of what some latter-day romanticist supposed a Middle-Easterner rode in on. The Magi are recognized as Persian throughout Christianity, although a romanticization of them representing the three races became popular in art in the modern era; this is, of course, fictitious, but probably stems from a supposition that they fulfill the prophesy of 60:3.
For whatever reason, they have nearly always been represented as a trio, in every Christian culture, from the Ethiopian Copts, to the Far Eastern Thomists, to the Eastern Orthodox, to the Catholics, so it's likely there were actually three of them, although in some ancient texts, there are as many as twelve.
It's always amazed me that the remains and final resting place of the foster father of Jesus himself should be so .......incognito..............if that's the right word.
see Matthew 27:52-53. While not dogma, it's 'assumed' those risen were taken up into heaven as well.
Which reminds me, someone posted a story about the controversy over the control of the Cenacle or Upper Room in Jerusalem. Some one pointed out that it is also connected to the Tomb of David. Pious Jews admit the tomb is empty. If I have these facts correct, that certainly is interesting.
I was particularly fascinated by the pictorial account set up in the nave of the cathedral which detailed the post- WWII restoration of the damaged cathedral.
The Tomb of David has never been found- the tomb of David where Jews pray is symbolic, it does lie in the same house, underneath the room where local lore says the Last Supper and the Epiphany occurred
Been there, got the t-shirt
Wise men? More like agents of Satan. Not so wise.
Not sure if I saw that.
It is so massive in size and remarable
how constructed in the early middle ages.
I would be careful with anything from Nyland. She published not only the book you mentioned, but this one as well:
Study New Testament For Lesbians, Gays, Bi, And Transgender: With Extensive Notes On Greek Word Meaning And Context
Magi = Zoroastrian.
It was they who recognized Christ, and pledged their loyalty.
Thanks for the clarification. Do you know anything about the tombs of other biblical Patriarchs? I recall the tomb of Joseph (he who was sold into slavery by his brothers) was in moslem hands. There was some controversy with that one as well.
Anne Catherine Emmerich has a pretty good description of what their journey was like. When I read her account, I imagined a Spielberg movie with a John Williams score to go with it. A truly epic journey.
But that private revelation aside, the more you look at the early Christians, the more you realize that the family of God is one, that the Catholic church is the real deal, and evidence of this is indicated by where all the significant artifacts from the early Church are located.
***Many of us skeptical Protestants suspect that Queen Mother Helenas tour of the Holy Land in the early 4th Century was the original tourist scam.****
You mean when the Crusaders sacked Constantinople, and took home their loot, amongst which were three heads of John the Baptist, may have been fake! How dare you! ;-)
***Wise men? More like agents of Satan. Not so wise.***
Magoi or Sophoi! "Powerful ones" or "Wise ones."
Dwayne Edward Spencer, in his books Word Keys which Unlock Scripture, says the Magoi were probably high ranking Jews of the dispersion still in Persia who recognized this as the time of the Messiah and came to Jerusalem looking for the Christ child.
Herodotus indicates they were the priestly class of diviners of the Medes.
They were thus attempting to locate the newborn child for Herod to murder so I stand by the description of them as agents of Satan.
Try actually reading the gospel account before saying something as moronic as their being "agents of Satan."
11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.So because Herod decided to use the information provided him by his own chief scribes and priests, the wise men, who worshipped the toddler Jesus and who obeyed God and didn't go back to file a report with Herod, were "agents of Satan" because they had originally asked for directions?
12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Had they NOT been warned by God they would have returned to Herod with detailed information. The "star" led them to Jerusalem first and then to Bethlehem to find the child for Herod to murder.
They were sent off to Bethlehem by Herod and the "star" led the way. They were acting as agents of Herod and thus Satan also.
It was the artwork on my Christmas cards last year. I've always had a bit of an obsession about this painting.
Sorry if the Gospel account conflicts with your Hallmark cards and petty insults don't change it.
"The great thing about it is that they saw the birth of the Messiah."
Jesus was probably about two years old before the wise men saw Him. The family was living in a house at the time; Jesus wasn't in a manger. He was a "child", not a "babe". There may have been more than three magi, or even two; we assume three because three separate gifts were mentioned.
You have to say it like the Church Lady, "agents of SSSSSsssssatan." There, that is better.
What is the punishment for libel against God's friends? The Three Wise Men are most certainly among the elect. "Saved" as it were.
May Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar find humor in your insult. Maybe you should ask the baby Jesus about the veracity of the story, when the visit occurred, and who they were? WWBJD Of course His Church has handed down the "rest of the story" that is introduced in the Gospel of Matthew.
"May Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar find humor in your insult. Maybe you should ask the baby Jesus about the veracity of the story, when the visit occurred, and who they were?"
Jesus isn't a baby anymore. and Matthew answers those questions. But thanks anyway.
"According to the Gospel account, the wise men both worshipped Jesus and obeyed God. Doesn't sound like an agent of Satan."
They were also astrologers, a practice condemned by God (Deut. 18) and they also obeyed Herod (Matt. 2:8).
"So they went to the capital of Israel. That's reasonable"
They were led by a "star", not to the child Jesus but to Jerusalem and Herod. (Matt.2:2) Reasonable? Why, if this "star" was able to lead them from Jerusalem to Bethlehem? (Matt. 2:9).
"So they asked the king (according to Scripture God's chosen civil authority)."
Herod was not chosen by God to be king, being an Edomite, a people condemned by God as wicked, (Mal. 1:4) and not of the line of David or tribe of Judah.
"Furthermore, do you really think Satan would need some out of country folks coming from a far distance asking directions to discover out what all the chief scribes and priests already in Jerusalem already knew?"
What Satan needed was not the point. That's akin to asking if Satan needed Herod to do his killing for him.
The chief priests, etc. knew the where by prophecy (Matt. 2:4-6) but the when Herod learned from the astrologers and the star's appearance. (Matt. 2:7)
By this time Jesus was living in a house (Matt. 2:11) so the depictions of wise men visiting a babe in a manger just aren't so. According to Luke 1&2 it was the shepherds who visited Jesus in the manger and it was angels that made the announcements of events connected with Jesus' birth, no stars involved.
"A bank robber asked a little old blue-haired woman how to get to First National Bank. He then went there and robbed it. The little old blue-haired woman was an accomplice or agent of the bank robber."
Your analogy doesn't fit the account. The magi, the astrologers were not little old ladies, they were condemned to death under the Law given by God. (Lev.19 and Deut. 18).
And if one puts the very best face on their actions it would be that they were unwitting accomplices and really believed Herod the Thug wanted to worship another king of the Jews, especially one not of his family.
Had they not been warned by God not to return to Herod (Matt. 2:12) they would have had been able to give him the exact location of the house where Jesus lived.
Herod sent the astrologers to Bethlehem (Matt. 2:8) and the star led them to Jesus. (Matt. 2:9).
Thus a close examination of the account makes clear who and what these wise men were and who they were serving.
Jesus is a baby every Christmas, and His mother is the Spirit of Christmas. They ask us to contemplate the mysteries anew every year. That is the beauty of the liturgical calendar. There is a season for everything. For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, there is much to be learned.

"For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, there is much to be learned."
So true, so true.
The "Three Wise Men" story is just one of many false notions surrounding Christmas. Even the date of the Messiah's birth is likely all wrong—He was probably born at the end of September, though He was conceived about Dec. 25 around 3 or 4 BC (so I celerate Christmas as the day of His incarnation).
Myrrh is used in burial. A representation of The Child Jesus' impeneding sacrifice and death for us.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian

Rediscovering Historical Perspectives: A Newspaper Update on World War II
In our modern world of Internet feeds, push notifications, and twenty-four-hour news coverage, it can be difficult to imagine relying not only on printed material for knowledge of world affairs but on time-delayed information - like this update on the progress of World War II from The Washington Star, dated August 30, 1942. The article was rediscovered on the back of another clipping which was being prepared for digitization from the papers of Samuel Pierpont Langley, third secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. It featured a detailed breakdown of the conflict across all relevant theaters from Europe to the Pacific, and supplemented by a map of Allied and Axis movements in northern France, this war update provides what may have been for many Washington, D.C. residents one of the only resources available to them for following the progress of a struggle that friends and family were directly or indirectly involved in, and that touched all aspects of their lives.
At this point in the war, the extent to which the conflict would continue was a subject of much debate and great concern; as the headline states, "Embattled World Starts Fourth Year of War With Turning Point Still Lying Ahead," highlighting the uncertain future of world affairs. While the article is positive about Allied victories, the pervading sense that the world is being beaten down by the conflict is clear from the author's stark observation that "there is no end in sight," and from the characterization of Russia's resistance to the German eastern line as "in an increasingly desperate condition." The article further touches on the German–Russian stalemate at Stalingrad and the Japanese defeat at Guadalcanal, foreshadows the Second Battle of El Alamein in Egypt, and celebrates the declaration of a previously neutral Brazil for the Allied side.
This update is also fascinating for the glimpse it offers of wartime censorship, both subtly through some sub-textual journalistic frustration at lack of information on recent American casualties in the Pacific, and less so courtesy of a second article below the war update specifically discussing the "Herculean task" of censoring news, an intriguing juxtaposition of the two contradictory wartime imperatives to spread and curtail information. The headline's subtitle is of particular note - "Curbing of News Only Minor Part of Problem of Guarding War Information" - given the general perception of censorship as a negative process. In this case, censorship is functioning in part as a protective measure for the American forces serving overseas, lest sensitive information be acquired by the Axis powers.
The need to keep troop locations and movements under wraps even influenced those servicemen who volunteered to collect natural history specimens for the Smithsonian (when time permitted) to leave physical provenance information out of their reports home, as can be seen in a letter from Sergeant Raymond L. Baker to the Smithsonian. He informs the curators that "the exact geographical location will only be furnished when there is no longer need for censorship," presumably providing those details after the conflict ended. The instructions to keep geographical data out of reports likely came from A Field Collector's Manual in Natural History, prepared by Smithsonian staff for these soldier-collectors.
As the United States celebrates Veterans Day in conjunction with Remembrance Days throughout the world, the rediscovery of this World War II era news update encourages reflection on the dedicated service of the men and women who fought for their countries and did their best to protect innocent lives.

The Mysterious Miscellaneous 37
"Miscellaneous," defined as a variety of items from different sources, is a pretty nondescript label, and though it may make some researchers weary, when I come across a miscellaneous folder in a finding aid to one of our collections, I become excited about what I may discover. Sure, it could be a bust and simply be a mostly blank piece of paper with only a number on it; on the other hand it could be a letter, document, or image that lends new insight into Smithsonian history.
Today we are opening up the collections and letting you join us on a miscellaneous adventure with the story of "Miscellaneous 37." This folder comes from Record Unit 32 - Smithsonian Institution, Office of the Secretary, Correspondence, 1865-1879. It is a full folder with a mix of printed and handwritten materials. While rifling through, a few things start to stick out that pique my interest. The first things I notice are the printed pamphlets written in different languages. Some are in French and others are in Italian, and for the first time I do not regret studying either one of these languages! I start to translate the first pages, and then see that many of the pamphlets have a corresponding handwritten translation. I start to read and realize that the pamphlets are from international learned societies asking for submissions for prizes. They date to the 1870s and cover a range of disciplines, from archaeology to medical science to art. The prize questions offer money and medals to the winners, but note that once an entry is submitted, it becomes the property of the archives of the society and entrants can only request copies for a fee. There is a long tradition of these types of prize questions, and they continue today, such as the Wolfson Economic Prize for 2014, that asks "How would you deliver a new Garden City which is visionary, economically viable, and popular?" Or the 2012 Royal Society of Chemistry Prize Question on the Mpemba Effect – why does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Here are two of my favorite questions from Miscellaneous 37:
Royal Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts of Belgium Class of Sciences Prize Questions for 1874
2. Want a complete discussion of the questions as to the temperature of space, based upon experiments, observations and the calculus. Reasons have to be stated for the choice made from the different temperatures attributed to it…relate [the answer] to the knowledge of the absolute zero definitely fixed at –272° 85 C.
Royal Institute of Venetian Science Literature and the Arts competition for the 1877 prize:
Exhibit trading conditions to Venice from 1859 to nowadays, paying attention to changes in the political, legislative, economic. Suggest what the state and the municipalities and the private sector could do to improve.
Now why would this be in Smithsonian collections? In the mid to late 1870s, the Institution was in its thirties still trying to understand its role both locally and internationally. The Smithsonian's International Exchange Service began sending government documents abroad in October of 1874. The correspondence with these learned societies was another step in the growth of the Institution. Creating connections between scientists and sharing information helped the early Smithsonian achieve its mission for the increase and diffusion of knowledge. These types of questions are interesting as they usually are one that stump the experts and call on a broad range of people to think about them, often gathering insights from unexpected places. The prize also gets many people focused on one issue, in the hope that this focus will finally produce some answers.
Though I have not yet found out if any Smithsonian employee responded to the contests, nor why the folder had the number "37" in its title, I did uncover a mini trove of documents that lend insight into the questions that people wanted to ask and answer in the 1870s. And as the evidences shows that prize questions about temperature phenomena and urban issues hold relevance in both the 1870s and 2010s, it seems our past and present curiosities are interestingly closely aligned.
If you would like to keep uncovering the miscellaneous mysteries, chime in to our Facebook page or Twitter feed and let us know what folder we should open next. Vote Folder A to open "Miscellaneous Letters and Memoranda between Smithsonian Officials, 1863-1893" from Record Unit 64, Smithsonian Institution, Chief Clerk, Records, 1869-1905 or Folder B to open "Miscellaneous photos" from Record Unit 363, National Museum of Natural History, Office of Exhibits, Exhibition Records, circa 1955-1990 and undated.

Also, Mexico and Chile celebrate their indepdence days on September 16 and 18, respectively.

text: The The Four wiki last edited by kfhrfdu_89_76k on 08/28/13 01:49PM View full history Randall Dowling The Four were part of a secret moon launch in 1961, a project called Artemis. On their way, they encountered a rift in the fabric of the universe, which sent them to another world. The inhabitants of this world were vastly powerful, and very paranoid. They perceived the Earth as a threat, due to its unfortunate tendency to breed superhumans.William LeatherDowling made a deal with the inhabitants of this world. He and his companions would be endowed with incredible superhuman powers, and in return they would use their powers to suppress the emergence of superhuman powers on Earth. They were given fifty years to prepare, at which time their earth would be destroyed and the Four would be free to explore the Multiverse.Upon returning to Earth, The Four used their powers to manipulate governments and scientists. They used assassination, subversion and oppression to use their world as their laboratory. They collected and destroyed artifacts and beings that would have otherwise advanced humanity immeasurably, and razed entire worlds in order to store their hoarded treasures.Kim SuskindTheir primary adversary has been the *Planetary* organization, specifically Elijah Snow. While they enjoyed the challenge that Planetary provided, they knew they couldn't allow the group to threaten their plans.So, as their fifty-year deadline approached, Randall Dowling abducted Snow and made him submit to a series of memory blocks that would prevent him from disrupting their final plans. In return, Dowling said, they would allow Snow's colleagues to live.Jacob GreeneThe remainder of Planetary, however, took the risk and returned Snow to the organization. Once he regained his memory, Snow turned Planetary towards the single end of destroying the Four.InspirationThe Four are directly modeled off Marvel's Fantastic Four - the characters and their powers are similar, as is their origin. The difference, of course, is in the Four's use of their powers to suppress the progression of humanity, whereas the Fantastic Four are much more benevolent.

Governor John Kasich stood by his proposal to increase severance taxes on oil and natural gas "fracking" in Ohio, framing the plan as a boost for small businesses on the backs of Big Oil during a question and answer session at an Ohio Farm Bureau event. Marc Kovac of Ohio Capital Blog posted a video of the question from Harrison County Farm Bureau President Jayne Wallace and Kasich's response.
The video follows, with a transcript of the governor's comments at the end of this story.
"I feel like we're being penalized for owning that property that happens to have oil and gas under it. I have paid taxes on it," Wallace said. "The entire state is seeing benefits from the oil and gas industry, not just the eastern part of Ohio."
"An increase - a modest increase - in the severance tax on Big Oil will allow us to reap some of the benefit of that oil, which they're pulling out of the ground and is a diminishing resource," Kasich - a Republican - said in his reply.
Kasich spoke as if the natural resources in citizens' property belong to the State of Ohio. Since first proposing the tax increase in early 2012, the governor has consistently portrayed his plan as an "income tax cut" which would take a tiny portion of profits from "Big Oil" for redistribution across Ohio.
"They all know it's coming, by the way, and it's very reasonable," Kasich added, suggesting the proposal has not had and would not have any negative impact on oil and gas drilling in the state.
Addressing Wallace's concern that she would pay higher taxes to fund a statewide income tax credit, Kasich said, "I don't know what your situation is, but if you have it on your land, and you negotiated a bad deal with the oil companies and you have to pick up the severance tax, I mean, I wouldn't have done it that way if I were you."
At a July press conference intended to promote the severance tax hike as an income tax cut, Governor Kasich conceded that his proposed tax increase may hit some landowners.
Although the governor reiterated in his response to Ms. Wallace that "Big Oil" ships its profits out of the state, Media Trackers reported in August that Exxon and Chevron are two of the largest holdings in Ohio's public pension funds.
In June, Media Trackers spoke with Jerry James, president of both Marietta-based Artex Oil Company and the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, who explained a number of issues with the governor's proposal. James also appeared in a brief video released by conservative think tank Opportunity Ohio in September.
A poll commissioned by Opportunity Ohio in July showed broad disapproval for the arguments underpinning Kasich's severance tax proposal. Opportunity Ohio also disputed Kasich's severance tax talking points in an August white paper and an October study.
The governor's plan faces opposition from the Ohio Liberty Coalition, Americans for Prosperity Ohio, and the National Taxpayers Union. Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) deemed the plan compliant with its Taxpayer Protection Pledge so long as all new revenue was used for an income tax cut, but ATR has since expressed support for a pledge against any severance tax hike.
The Ohio Farm Bureau posted information about the governor's proposal on its website in July, inviting members to provide feedback on the issue. A request for comment sent to the Harrison County Farm Bureau received no reply in time for publication.
Following is a transcript of Kasich's comments in the above video clip.
Kasich: First of all, we already have a severance tax in Ohio. And I don't think it's unreasonable to say to major oil companies that you should pay more than 20 cents on - what, I don't know what a barrel of oil is worth today, $80 or $90? 20 cents on an $80 or $90 barrel of oil.
You know what they do with their profits? They take it out of Ohio.
You know what they do in Texas and Oklahoma? They have very high severance taxes. And what they do is they ship their costs out here. So Texas has no income tax, Oklahoma's cutting their income tax. North Dakota is on fire, and they have a higher severance tax than we do.
An increase - a modest increase - in the severance tax on Big Oil will allow us to reap some of the benefit of that oil, which they're pulling out of the ground and is a diminishing resource. So, I would rather have our communities, our citizens in Ohio - across this state - reap a benefit, in lower taxes, in more money in community and local banks, instead of letting them take all of their money out of here.
Now, ma'am, I don't know what your situation is, but if you have it on your land, and you negotiated a bad deal with the oil companies and you have to pick up the severance tax, I mean, I wouldn't have done it that way if I were you.
But the fact of the matter is that that severance tax - and they all know it's coming, by the way, and it's very reasonable - they all know that it's coming, they've invested billions of dollars in this state. We went through an oil boom one other time here in this state, and they took what we had and they left. This time, I wanna make sure that all Ohioans get a benefit.
And the idea that we have a modest increase that keeps us below the tax rate of every other state in this area and allows us to lower our income tax, boy, that's a bluebird that flew in the window. You know, I can respect people that don't agree with it, but, you know, frankly, every Ohioan oughta benefit, and frankly I'm for Ohio small business more than I am for Big Oil.

the place for local, contemporary art10/26/2002
Although SFMOMA houses modern art, I find it's exhibitions in general (with a few exceptions) stale. I usually leave in a bad mood with curses on my lips. In opposition (in viewpoint and location), you have YBCA. Not only does it house a gallery with current and local artists, but it shows films, sponsors theater and dance (see Lines Ballet), and almost anything else. YBCA gives the art world (that is still living) a voice. You may not like everything you see, but better yet it hasn't been filtered for your viewing pleasure. It's real.
Beautiful Space05/15/2002
Amidst all the criticism San Francisco has gotten in recent years for the demise of its arts community, the construction of this beautiful arts center has been a huge addition to the city's cultural landscape. Not only does the center showcase quality experimental and traditional arts, but it is also a wonderful architectural landmark, despite its proximity to the aesthetically challenged Metreon complex.

These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use.

Today, I went to see a movie with three of my friends, and I was sharing popcorn with one of them. Halfway through the movie, my friend asked me why I wasn't eating our popcorn. I then realised I'd been taking popcorn from the man sitting next to me. FML

Today, I was giving my son a driving lesson. He blatantly ran a red light, so I told him to pull over to let me drive us home. As I walked over to the driver-side door, he instead locked me out and drove off by himself. FML

Today, my "friend" thought it'd be absolutely hilarious to use my phone to text my girlfriend, bragging that I'd found a new "slampiece" and that she's "fukcin dumpd". Now I'm single, her dad keeps making threatening calls to me, and nobody will even listen to my side of the story. FML

Today, I found out my girlfriend of 3 years has been cheating on me. When I explained the situation to the "other guy", he exclaimed that I was lying because I was jealous and trying to ruin his relationship. He punched me in the face. FML

Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML

Today, a shopper approached me at Target and said, "So are you just gonna stand there to look pretty and do nothing around here?" I ignored his comment, until he got so upset that he wanted to speak to my manager. It would have been understandable if I actually worked there. FML
