Daniel 9:26-27
October 5, 1980
Listen using Pop-Up Player
Well, you had such a great spirit of patience last week as we were going through Daniel chapter 9 and some of you came up to me and said, "I'm not sure I got all that," so I'm going to go over all of it again tonight. Some of you are saying, "Mercy. Mercy."
Somebody said to me, "Why did you go through all of that?" And I said, "Because it's there." And when you go into the exposition of the Word of God, you go with whatever the Lord puts there. And I am grateful to God that we had the privilege of going through the tremendous prophecy of the 70 weeks of Daniel.
Now, turn back in your Bible to the ninth chapter and we're going to finish it up by looking at the remaining portion of the text. Let me just give you a little introduction while you're finding your way into the ninth chapter of Daniel.
Isn't it amazing how Israelremains the center stage of the redemptive history of the world? No matter how society tries to find its perspectives in other places, invariably in the time in which we live, we find the focus of the world is drawn to the attention of that little nation smaller than the state of New Jerseyin the middle of the Middle East, known as Israel. Why should that place be such an important place? One Bible teacher, who is well-known, was asked at a conference in Europe: Of what significance is the existence of the nation Israelin the world today? To which he replied, "It has utterly no significance at all because God is finished with Israelas of the crucifixion of their Messiah."
Is that true? Is God finished with Israel? Listen to this. First Samuel 12:22, Samuel said, "For the Lord will not forsake His people for His great name sake." God will not forsake His people because His reputation is at stake. He is a God who made to them unbreakable promises. He bound Himself to Himself in the Abrahamic covenant. God is not finished with Israel.
In the eighty-ninth Psalm, let me read you several verses from the New International translation. God speaks:
Psalm 94 says this: "For the Lord will not reject His people, He will never forsake His inheritance. He may punish them, He may flog them, He may chasten them, but He will not take His love from them."
The Apostle Paul takes the same issue up in the eleventh chapter of the book of Romans. And in verse l he asks the question: "Hath God cast away His people?. And the answer is: "Megenoito" in the Greek which means "no-no, not ever." It is the strongest negative: never let it be, not it cannot be, such can never happen.
In fact, in the Olivet discourse, Jesus' speech on the Mount of Olives In fact, in the Olivet discourse, Jesus recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke, He predicted that though there was Gentile dominion over the land of Israel at that time and though the times of the Gentiles had gone on since the Babylonian captivity in the time of Daniel, some day that time, the times of the Gentiles, would come to an end and the Jewish people would be restored to the place of covenant blessing. And as Samuel said, God's Word is at stake. As the Old Testament says, His name is at stake and the truthfulness of His Word.
And you and I happen to be living in an incredible time. The miracle of human history is that Jews have survived the melting pot of the ages. That is the miracle of human history that they have survived in the melting pot of the human jungle to exist even this day as an entity of themselves, regathered and reborn into their own land.
It's incredible when you think about the very location of Israelitself, that they should have survived. By reason of their geographical position, they are strategic, for they provide to the Middle East and even eastern Europe and particularly Russia, a port on the Mediterranean. They have been a buffer state between the great powers of the ancient world. They have been exposed throughout their history to influences that should have destroyed them and destroyed all the nations around them repeatedly. In fact, all of the ancient tribes and all of the ancient kingdoms, without exception, that existed in the time of Israel, have long ago disappeared. All of them.
But you see, there's a reason they're still around. They lived through the first 69 weeks but there's one more to go. And God has preserved that entire nation for one more seven-year period of history until their time is completed on God's clock.
Arnold Toynbee, the renowned historian, said this: "As for long life, the Jews live on—the same peculiar people today, long ages after the Phoenicians and Philistines have lost their identity. The ancient Syriac neighbors have gone into the melting pot and been reminted, while Israelhas proven impervious to this alchemy to which all Gentiles in turn succumb," end quote.
God has a marvelous historical plan for the nation Israel. And that history has unfolded in our text and if I might add, it is unfolding in our time.
Now let me review the setting, for those of you who may not have been with us, very briefly so jump on quick. The children of Israelhave been in the Babylonian captivity for 68 or 69 years. God had predicted that they would be for 70 years captives. Daniel, who has been a key man during the captivity, is well aware of the statements of Jeremiah the prophet, well aware of the statements of Isaiah the prophet which statements indicate a 70-year captivity. So he knows that the end of that captivity must be very near. With that knowledge, in chapter 9 verse 3, he falls on his knees and begins to pray. And what he is praying is simply that God will do what He said He would do and bring conviction and repentance and restoration and bring his people back to their land.
He's already lived through the time of the Babylonian Empire and the Medo Persians have conquered Babylonand this is in the first year of the Medo-Persian Empire under Darius. Daniel prays.
Now as we come to verse 20, our text, we see the circumstances of Daniel. He was praying. Verse 20, "And while I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sins of my people Israel, presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God." You'll remember that this simply tells us that Daniel was praying. And he was praying that God would exalt His own name. The purpose of his prayer was for the holy mountain of my God, that God might be restored to the place of dignity and honor in the world by being again established in the His land with His people. Daniel was in prayer.
And from the circumstances of Daniel, we move to the coming of Gabriel, the second figure in the prophecy in verse 21. "Yea while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel," and he appeared in the form of a man even though he obviously is an angel, "whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation." He was carrying on the normal Jewish procedure for prayer and the angel Gabriel arrived before he was even finished praying. "And he informed me and talked with me and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications, the commandment came forth and I am come to show thee, for thou art greatly beloved.
Therefore understand the matter and consider the vision." He began his prayer, God called Gabriel and Gabriel was there before he was even done.
I was reminded this week of Isaiah 65:24 which says: "And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." And this is really a fulfillment of that, isn't it? And so, Daniel was in prayer and God moved. George Mueller, that great man of prayer who prayed so faithfully and saw God move so mightily, said: "I live in the spirit of prayer, I pray as I walk, when I lie down and when I arise and the answers are always, always coming." And this was an answer without equal.
And that brings us to the third point—the communication of God. The third person enters the picture: Daniel, then Gabriel, now God. And the message is a communication directly from God. And this is what it says: "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people," and that's Israel, Daniel's people, "and upon thy holy city," that's Jerusalem, "to finish the transgression, make an end of sin and make reconciliation for iniquity.. Those three things are the negative things that are going to happen. Sin will be dealt with. Then the positive, "Bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing up the vision and the prophecy and anointing a Holy of Holies."
Now God says there's a period of seventy sevens—seventy sevens. And those are sevens of what? Of years. And we saw that in detail. So a period of 490 years are determined as the block of history yet to come in the fulfilling of God's promise with the nation of Israel...490 years. Planned by sovereign God as the time involved until sin is finally dealt with and eternal righteousness is established. That, my friend, is the eternal Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
So, from that time till Christ comes, 490 years. And by the way, we pointed out, didn't we, that they had desecrated possibly 490 years of Sabbaths and that's why God had affirmed that that's what it would take to bring them back again in the future.
Now when did it begin? Verse 25, "Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem." The 490 years will begin when there is a command, or a decree, to rebuild Jerusalem. We said that there were four such decrees that could be looked at, but three of them had to do with the temple, and only one the city, and that was the decree of Artaxerxes.
And that decree is stated in Nehemiah chapter l and in Nehemiah chapter 2. And we know that that decree was either in 444 B.C. or 445. Converting it to our current calendar and knowing that it was different than the Jewish calendar, we don't exactly know. As I told you, Sir Robert Anderson says 445 and Harold Hoehner, currently at Dallas Seminary, says 444. But we know it was the decree of Artaxerxes one of those two years. That's when it began.
When did it end? Verse 25, it would be four hundred and, watch this, 83 years unto the Messiah the Prince because it says, "That will be seven weeks and threescore and two weeks." Now seven and threescore and two equals what? Sixty-two and seven is—good class—69. All right? So, watch this, from the restoration and the building decree to Messiah the Prince, mashiyachnagiydwhen He comes in an official presentation will be 69 weeks. Now in the first seven weeks, the rest of the verse says, "The street will be built again and the wall." And those terms really mean the inside and the outside of the city. So in the first 49 years from Artaxerxes' decree, the city was rebuilt. And then in the years remaining to fill up 483 years, the Messiah would come. So, from the time of the decree of Artaxerxes to the arrival of Messiah would be 483 years.
The triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into the city. And so the Word of God has given to us this amazing incredible accurate prophecy.
Let's look at verse 26 and pick it up where we left off last time. And stay with me now and we'll see how this unfolds, tremendous verse. "And after," now watch that word "after", "after threescore and two weeks," that is, you've got the seven and then the threescore and two, after 69 weeks, "shall Messiah be...what?...cut off." Now listen, now watch this, it doesn't say during the 69 weeks, it says what? After.
Now this is essential to complete the prophecy. There is yet one more week left. But before you get to that week, look at verse 27, there you have one week. Do you see it? "He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week." Before you get to the one week, you have a gap in verse 26. Now mark that in your mind. There is a gap there.
That is utterly essential to the understanding of this prophecy. The 70 weeks did not run sequentially right through the seventieth week. Now you shouldn't be shocked by that because such gaps are very common in prophecy, aren't they? And I'll show you that in a little while.
But look with me now at this verse 26. "After the seven and, "you always add the seven in from verse 25, "and then the 62, or the 69, shall Messiah be cut off." Now the verb "to be cut off" means "to kill," or "to destroy." It is used that way in Genesis 9:11, in Deuteronomy 20:20, in Jeremiah 11:19. It means "to kill." It literally says after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be killed.
Now, any Jew that knew his Scripture would not then say that the preaching of the cross is foolishness because he would know his Messiah had to die. But they couldn't handle that. They couldn't fathom that. The Bible says that to them the cross was a stumbling block. They could not perceive a crucified Messiah. But you know, Jesus even reprimanded His own disciples for their ignorance?
Remember on the Emmaus road? He opened the Scripture and had to teach them the things concerning Himself for they couldn't even handle the fact that He died, either. But Daniel, the great and esteemed Hebrew prophet, said Messiah will die.
Let me take it a step further. This word in the Hebrew, "to be cut off," is used at least three places in the Old Testament, that I found, Leviticus 7:20, Proverbs 2:22, Psalm 37:9, to speak of execution of a person given the death penalty for a crime. Messiah will not only die, He will die as a criminal would die. Now, folks, that's a pretty narrow, pretty accurate, specific prophecy, isn't it?
Here is Daniel saying 69 weeks will pass and after that, Messiah will be executed as a criminal. That's what he says. There's no other way to interpret it. How could anybody miss the fact that 69 weeks to the very day, Jesus rode into Jerusalemas the Messiah the Prince and after that, He was executed as a common criminal? Just exactly what Daniel said would happen. Hard to think of, tragic, that they would wait all those centuries for their Messiah and then miss the whole thing and hate Him and despise Him. Incredible.
But you know You say, "Well, maybe that Daniel's passage was a little obscure." No, they could have read Psalm 22 and Psalm 22 gives you a detail by detail outline of every event of the crucifixion. It even talks about when they gambled for His garment. Or they could have read Isaiah...what?...fifty-three where it describes Him as a sheep led to slaughter. It's all there. The Old Testament said it would be so.
Look back at verse 26, this is a great word. "After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off." This is a monumental prophecy. "Cut not for Himself," says the Authorized. That is a very obscure phrase. That means it's difficult to know exactly what was meant by that phrase. But perhaps the best way to translate it as we've done all we could with that linguistically, is to translate it this way: with nothing for Himself. In other words, Messiah came and they executed Him and they gave Him nothing. What should have been due Him was not received. There was no honor. There was no respect. There was no love. There was no acceptance. There was no receptivity. He came unto His own and His own...what?...received Him not. He was in the world, the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. His portion was nothingness. Tragic. But that's what Daniel said would happen. Four-hundred and 83 years, you'll wait and when He comes, He'll be executed like a criminal and He won't get anything that He deserves.
So, the prophet spoke of Christ. And He was executed like a common criminal, Roman style. But did He do anything to deserve that? No, it was the very opposite of what He deserved. He didn't receive the honor due, rather He got hatred.
Now watch back at verse 26 what happens next. And this is tremendous. And here's another thing that's going to happen after the 69 weeks, not during but after, that's how the verse begins. "And the people of the prince that shall come." Now here you've got a prince with a little "P", not a big one. Who's this prince? Who is the prince that shall come? Antichrist. I'm not going to go into developing that again, but just remember chapter 7 verse 8, the little horn—remember that? And remember chapter 8, the king of fierce countenance?
Remember the willful king? And the New Testament calls him the man of sin, the son of perdition. He's never really specifically anywhere in the Bible called the Antichrist, but we use that term and you understand what it means, so I'll use it.
This is the Antichrist. So after the threescore and two weeks and seven, or 69, 483 years, Messiah will be cut off, that is executed like a common criminal, and then, watch this, the people of the prince that shall come. Now listen to this. When the final Antichrist comes, with what people will he be identified? Now I'll show you, listen. How many world empires are there that Daniel points out?
Four. The first one is Babylon. Second one is Medo-Persia. Third one is Greece. Fourth one is Rome. Will there ever be another?
Never. But what will happen in the end times, says Daniel in chapter 2 and in chapter 7, is that which of those will be revived? Rome.
And they will be revived in a ten-nation confederacy. And we've been pointing out to you how interesting it is that the European Common Market now, I think they have nine now and the other nation will be in before the year '81 is through. And they constitute what was territorially the Roman Empire. There will be a revival of the Roman Empireand out of that ten-nation confederacy will rise one little horn. So, the people of the prince that will come will be what kind of people? Roman people. Okay? That's very clear from what the Bible says. They will be Romans. Now they may not be called Romans, but they will be the revival of the old Roman Empire.
Now get this then. When the Antichrist comes after the 483 years as we move to the end, Romewill rise again. And leading Romewill be the Antichrist.
But let's look back at the prophecy now with that in mind. The people of the prince that shall come. Who are they then? Who are they?
They're Romans. "The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary." Now Daniel says Roman people, people of the Antichrist, will destroy the sanctuary. You know what happened in 70 A.D.? What happened? Jerusalemwas destroyed. By whom? The Romans. They are the people of the prince that shall come. They're in one segment of the Roman Empire, he will be over the last segment but nonetheless, it is the same empire. Amazing prophecy. They destroyed in 70 A.D. the city and the temple.
And notice further in verse 26, "And the end of it shall be with a flood and unto the end of the war, desolations are determined." In other words, it will be a flood, it will be just a devastation and until it's finally over, there will be a constant desolation, clear until the end of the war, it says desolations are determined. In other words, it will be a holocaust beyond any holocaust.
In the twenty-first chapter of Luke, perhaps, it would be well to
compare the words of our Lord.
"And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that its desolation is near, then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains and let them who are in the midst of it depart and let them not enter...let not them that are in the countries enter into it, for these are the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Woe unto them that are with child, to them that nurse children in those days, for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon the people. And they? shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led awaY captive into all nations, and Jerusalemshall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
Jesus, I believe, there in the immediacy, had in mind the destruction of Jerusalem. And that's exactly that to which Daniel speaks.
Werner Keller has written a book in which he chronicles many of the events that happen. And by the way, we know a lot about the destruction of Jerusalemin 70 A?D. because Josephus wrote so explicitly about it. In fact, I'll read you a quote from him in a
moment. But Werner Keller says this, quote: "Old Israel whose history no longer included the words and works of Jesus, the religious community of Jerusalemwhich condemned and crucified Jesus was extinguished in an inferno which is almost unparalleled in history, the so-called Jewish war of A.D. 66 to 70," end quote.
Now I want you to follow something of the sequence of what happened in this period from 66 to 70. There were among the Jewish people those who protested the Roman presence. They hated and despised the Romans. In fact, you know they wanted Jesus to overthrow the Romans, right? And He didn't do it and that was part of the reason they. hated Him.
And the protests grew louder and louder and louder against the hated Romans. And fanatics and rebels and particularly the Zealots began to carry daggers and they would find Romans and they would slay them in the night, slaughter the soldiers. There were marauders, there was violence everywhere. And more and more people began to side with the fanatics. And finally in A.D. 66, there was a wholesale open revolt that broke out in the month of May. And the Jewish Zealots and rebels overran the Roman garrison and for a while Jerusalemfell into the control of these rebels. They literally took back their city.
First thing they did was they said we're not going to have any more sacrifices to the emperor, so they abolished all the emperor sacrifice. And in effect, when they did that, when they removed the emperor from their city, they declared war on Rome. If you can imagine that little tiny country threw down the gauntlet at the foot of Rome. And rebellion, then, broke loose everywhere.
Well, Emperor Nero knew he had to deal with this upstart little country and so he gave command of his troops to a man named General Titus Flavius Vespasian. This man had distinguished himself as a brilliant soldier in the conquest of Britainand now he was sent to do something about the uprising in Israel. He had three of the best legions and numerous auxiliaries and he attacked Galilee, first of all, from the north and by October of 67 he had subdued all of Galilee. By the way, one of his prisoners was Josephus, the historian.
Six thousand Jews from Galilee were sent as slaves to build the CorinthianCanal. And that's an interesting thing. You can still see it today. I've seen the CorinthianCanal, incredible engineering feat. Six thousand Jews worked on that who were taken from Galileeby Titus. By the following spring, rebels all around the city of Jerusalemin Judeawere subdue?? In the middle of all of that, Nero lost his mind and committed suicide which from a human viewpoint wasn't a big loss to the world, frankly. And when he did, of course, in Rome, immediately civil war broke out because everybody wanted to be the next emperor. And you had three insignificant emperors in a row.
Finally, this man Vespasian who had been this great soldier, Titus Flavius Vespasian, was given the mastery of all of Rome. And so he embarked to Rome, but he left Israelin the hands of his son, Titus.
And shortly before the full moon in the spring of 70, Titus appeared with his troops outside the city of Jerusalemready to take on the rebels. And he had 100 thousand plus soldiers.
The population of Jerusalemwas probably about 200 thousand. That would have been enough to do it. But the city was bulging much of the time from those who had come for the feasts. Titus attacked with Roman artillery, they called it "scorpions" which were sort of quick-firing machines that threw up rocks and things like that. They smashed the walls. They swarmed around the city. They did everything they could. Finally, they built a huge mound around the city so no one could get out. And when anybody tried to get out or any mercenaries came out and tried to infiltrate their troops, they captured them. And Josephus says they nailed 500 mercenaries to crosses every single day. In fact, there was a forest around Is...around Jerusalemthat they literally destroyed in making crosses and battering rams and war machines. They utterly denuded the entire area. Tree after tree was sacrificed for a cross or a ramp or a ladder or a battering ram. There was no shade left.
Historians tell us there was an unbearable stench because of all the dead bodies that they couldn't bury. Then they surrounded the city and the people began to die of starvation.
Listen to what Josephus says, this will give you a little idea of the devastation.
The terrible famine that increased in frightfulness daily annihilated whole families of the people. The terraces were full of women and children who had collapsed from hunger. The allies were piled high with the bodies of the aged. Children and Young people swollen with lack of food wandered around like ghosts until they fell. They were so far spent that they could no longer bury anyone and if they did, they fell dead upon the very corpses they were burying. The misery was unspeakable, for as soon as even the shadow of anything eatable appeared anywhere, a fight began over it and the best of friends fought each other and tore from each other the most miserable trifles.
No one would believe that a dying...that the dying had no provisions stored away. Robbers threw themselves upon those who were drawing their last breath and ransacked their clothing.
These robbers ran about reeling and staggering like mad dogs and hammered on the doors of houses like drunk men. In their despair, they often plunged into the same house two or three times in one day. Their hunger was so unbearable they were forced to chew anything and everything. They laid hands on things that even the meanest of animals wouldn't touch, far less eat. They had long since eaten their belts and their shoes and even their leather jerkins which were torn to shreds and chewed.
And by the way, they also ate their children. Many of them fed on old hay and there were some who collected stocks of corn and sold a small quantity." But Josephus says, "Why should I describe the shame and indignity that famine brought upon men, making them eat such unnatural things? Because I tell of things unknown to history whether Greek or Barbarian. It is frightful to speak of it, and unbelievable to hear of it. I should gladly have passed over this disaster in silence so that I might not get the reputation of recording something that must appear to posterity wholly. degrading. But there were too many eye witnesses in ?? time, apart from that, my country would have little cause to be grateful to me were I to be silent about the misery which it endured at this time."
In one night, 2,000 died. The city was torched. By August of 70, Roman soldiers erected their banners in the sacred places and began to sacrifice to idols. Murder and plunder followed.
It was total devastation. Daniel said it will come and it will be a flood and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. The inexorable hand of destiny had drawn a line through Israel's part in the concert of the nations.
In a single day following that, it wasn't over. Following the fall of Jerusalemin 70, in a single day 10,000 throats were cut in Damascus.
Many died as gladiators in the games. History just kept going like that for them. I mean, it was desolation upon desolation. When the first crusade was launched in A.D. 1096, the people wanted to go on the crusades and go back and capture the Holy Land. And they had one great fear, they wanted the resources of the Holy Land. They figured if they took the Holy Land back, the European Jews would lay claim to it because it was their original homeland and so on the way across Europe, the Crusaders thought it desirable to massacre all the communities of Jews that the met, That's why the Crusades arc so distasteful to Jews. And by the way, they did that in the name of Christ, supposedly as Christians.
In the second crusade, in 1146, the slaughter threatened to exceed that of the first. In l290, Edward I ordered the Jews to leave England.
In l348 and 49, during the time of the Black Death, the terrible scourge, the Jews were accused of poisoning the wells that led to that scourge. And then the Jews, in order to save their lives, fled to two countries: Polandand Russia. And that's why they were there even until modern times.
In l894, the Jews were still abused in the terrible Dreyfus affair in France. And I don't need to tell you that in the l940's, six million of them were slaughtered by Hitler.
You see, after the 483 years, the Messiah would be cut off and there would be desolation in the land. And that's what happened.
But it didn't end there. Because in l9l4, in the middle of all of this, 90 thousand Jews had come back to their land. And by l948, it had a charter as a nation again.
You say, "What's happening?" They're getting set up. "For what?"
Verse 27, verse 27, "And he shall," who's he? "The prince that shall come, the Antichrist, that's the proper antecedent for "He." "He shall confirm the league, the treaty, the covenant, with many," the many refers to the Jews, ?for one week." Stop right there.
Now we have a gap don't we then, between 69 and 70. The gap was at least a few days cause it had to be long enough for Christ to be crucified? It was at least a few years, it had to be long enough for 70 A.D. And if it could be that long, it can be undetermined, can't it?
You say, "How long will the gap last?" It will last until Antichrist comes to confirm a covenant with Israel, that's how long it will last.
Don't be bothered by the gap. There are all kinds of gaps. For example, in Isaiah, "Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders." Do you see a gap there? I see a gap there. He was born, but it's been a long, long wait to get the government on His shoulders. You see, there was a great period of time unperceived by the Old Testament prophets.
That's why Peter says they were 1:11. Because they didn't understand the gap. In fact, in Luke 4, Jesus quotes from the Old Testament and says, "All of this has come to pass in My life," and He leaves out the part that speaks of the future because He recognizes the gap. And the gap, friends, is the church age. Paul calls it the mystery period, unseen in the Old Testament, a parenthesis—if you will. We're living in that time now, the church age.
And that's why the Lord could say, "No man knows the day nor hour," it's not for you to know the times of the seasons. You see, if it was all exact 490 years, we'd all know. But the gap means none of us knows.
Verse 27, let's hurry to a conclusion in the next five minutes. O ye of little faith. Okay? "And he shall confirm the Antichrist makes a league with them for seven years," this is very important. He comes as a great hero to them. Frankly, Israel's scared. And they're looking for somebody to bail them out. They're getting pressured from the Arab nations, they know that. And they're most of all afraid of what country? Russia. I may be wrong but my guess is that Russiais behind the Iraqi attack on Iran, without any question. They're flying Russian planes which ought to give you some clue. They've already sealed off the east with Afghanistan. Russiawants two things. They want a port in the Persian Gulfbecause they want to control the oil of the world. And they want access to the Indian Ocean. They want a port on the Mediterranean because they want to control the Mediterranean. And to do that, they need Israel. And little by little, they're just taking off the Middle East.
The only Savior there is in the world, basically for Israel, is a confederated Europe. We can't do it; we're too far away and maybe too impotent to deal with Russia. It would have to be a colossal of massing together of some resource. And what is going to happen, according to the prophets, is when that final confederacy of Europe comes together, out of that confederacy will rise this one great world ruler called the little horn or the Antichrist, as you would call him, and this world ruler will come to the rescue of Israel and make a treaty to protect Israel.
Ezekiel says Israelwill be so, so secure and feeling so good about the protection offered by the Antichrist's treaty that in Ezekiel's prophecy it says she is living in unwalled villages. In other words, they really believe they are well protected. And we'll get in to what happens when Russiacomes to conquer Israel, that's going to come, by the way, folks. That's not a guess, that's a fact. But that comes later in Daniel.
And so, they will make a covenant with the Antichrist, the final ruler of the revived Roman Empire. But he's a liar. He's vile, right out of the pit of hell. And so, it says in verse 27, "In the middle of the week." Now what is the middle of seven? Three and a...good class, coming along, three and a half. "In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." Now listen to me. Before a sacrifice and an oblation can cease, what do you have to have? A sacrifice and an oblation. Now before you have a sacrifice and an oblation, what do they have to have? A temple. I believe that one of the things the Antichrist is going to do is assist them in the restoration of the temple. I don't know how it's going to come to pass, but that's one of the things he's going to do. That may be the thing that makes them sign the treaty with him. I mean, that may be it. They may be so overawed at his ability to pull off that.
And by the way, when he is mentioned in the sixth chapter of Revelation, it says he comes conquering and to conquer with a bow.
And I've always thought it was interesting that he has a bow but no arrows. And it seems as though he conquers by peace. He is a statesman unequalled. His mouth speaks great things. But he has forces behind him that intimidate. But he seems to be able to negotiate the right things for Israel, security. in the land, a temple in the land, and he lets them have their worship But in the middle of that period of seven years which is known as the Great Tribulation, he stops the whole thing and in its place he brings an overspreading of abominations and he turns the temple into desolation. And it remains desolate till the consummation and that which is determined is poured out upon it. He just stops the whole thing in the middle.
We saw kind of a preview of that with what character? Antiochus Epiphanes who caused an abomination in the temple also in the Maccabean period when he slaughtered a pig on the altar and shoved the pork down the throats of the priests and desecrated the temple and brought about the Maccabean revolt. He was just a little picture of what this one's going to do. He's going to bring an overspreading of abomination.
Now in the templeof God, listen to this, the thing that abominates is an idol, a false god. You know what he's going to do? He's going to bring a false god into the temple. You know who it will be? Himself...himself, that's exactly what the Bible says. There's not even any doubt about it. Let me just give you a couple of texts quickly and we'll wrap it up.
Revelation chapter 11, we'll let's go to l3, I don't have time to get into what I was going to show you in 11, a couple of verses there, 2, 3 and 7. But we'll go on to l3. Verse 4, "And," here it comes, "they worshiped the dragon who gave power to the beast." Now the beast, another name for the Antichrist, "And they worshiped the beast saying," Who is like the beast? It was given unto him," verse 5, "a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies," you see, there it is, the abomination, "and power given unto him to continue for...how long?...42 months." How long is that? Three and a half years.
Second three and a half years, he puts himself in power. He opens his mouth, verse 6, blasphemes God, blasphemes His name, blasphemes His tabernacle, blasphemes everybody that dwells in heaven. "Is given him power to make war with the saints, to overcome them," and so forth and so forth. And he establishes himself as the one to be worshiped.
Verse l5, "There is an image of the beast set up and he is to be worshiped and as many as would not worship the image of the beast, should be...what?...killed." Killed.
Second Thessalonians 2 tells us that he sets himself up as God. Now you know what's also interesting about this—a footnote. During the same three-and-a-half year period that he's had a treaty with Israel, he has also allowed the apostate church to exist, That's the whore and the harlot of Revelation l7. He allows that to exist, too. But at that same mid-point, according to the end of chapter l7, he devours the false church. So, he devours Israel, he devours the false church, there's nothing of religion left but him. And in true Roman style, he sets himself up as the only deity. That goes on for three and a half years. And he makes the place desolate. Verse 27, "until the consummation," or until the end, or until the finish, "and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Now that takes us to the end...almost. You say, "Is that the end?
The whole ballgame ends with this guy being worshiped, is that the end?" That's not the end. You forgot verse 24, back up. This is the end. "At the end of 70 weeks, God will finish the transgression and make an end of sins." And, folks, in those two phrases, you have the destruction of the Antichrist, right? Has to be.
And then He makes reconciliation for iniquity and then He brings in the righteousness of the ages. He seals up the vision and prophecy and He anoints a Holy of Holies. That's the Kingdom, isn't it? What an incredible prophecy.
Did you get the picture? Hope so. I'll tell you, I get so excited to think that me, just little me, knows the whole history of the world.
Really, even the part that hasn't happened. I wandered through the White House this summer and I thought to myself, "These folks work so hard trying to figure it out." Went over to the Congress', we walked through all the Congress area over there in the Capitol building and we saw where everybody's desk was at one time and the statues of all the great men. And I thought to myself, "If they only knew the Word of God."
You see, Jesus has hidden it from the wise and prudent and revealed it unto whom? Babes...babes. I hope you're grateful. What an incredible thing that God has done for us. Let's bow in prayer.
Peter says this, "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be? In all holy living and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God in which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless, we according to His promise look for new heavens and a new earth in which dwelleth righteousness. "Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that you may be found of Him in peace, without spot and blameless."
Lord, that's our prayer. Oh, since we know these things, may we be in all holy living and godliness. Since we look for these things and know full well that Jesus could come and will come to remove us before that seventieth week, may we be found in peace, without spot and blameless. God, we know that Jesus could come any moment, the scene is set. The seventieth week is for Israel, not the church. We weren't here in the first 69, we don't fit in the seventieth either.
We wait for the moment You take us out. And if these things of the Tribulation are already so obvious on the horizon, how soon it must be that You take your church. May we be aware, Lord, and set our lives toward godliness that we might not be found wanting, that we might not be found unfaithful when Jesus comes.

Topic: A better way to query across my joined table
I have a database setup such that every person is a person_type. Then the person_type may or may not be an organisation (determined by a boolean string in the table).
I want to return all people that are not a person_type defined as an organisation.
My ugly code in the controller currently works, however it looks like this:
str_org_ids = ''
@person_types = PersonType.find(:all, :conditions => "organisation = 1")
@person_types.each do | person_type |
str_org_ids += person_type.id.to_s + ", "
str_org_ids = str_org_ids[0..(str_org_ids.length-3)]
@people = Person.find(:all , :conditions => "person_type_id <> " + str_org_ids)
I'm sure it can be refactored, does anyone have any suggestions?
Warm regards,

Report: Sanchez unlikely to be ready to play Week 1
Neither Geno Smith or Mark Sanchez played on Thursday night for the Jets, meaning the quarterback competition everyone's watched this offseason basically comes down to whether Sanchez is healthy after suffering a now-infamous injury in the fourth quarter during Week 3 of the preseason. According to one report it's "unlikely" he'll be ready.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported Friday morning that Sanchez probably won't be ready to go when Rex Ryan's crew tees off against the Buccaneers in Week 1 of the regular season.
If Sanchez isn't ready, obviously Geno will start. Geno hasn't lit up the world with his preseason play thus far but if Sanchez isn't going to be ready, there's no other choice. What has to happen for Sanchez to get ready?
Glad you asked!
Rex could ostensibly wait until later in the week -- Thursday or Friday -- to see if Sanchez can get put the maximum amount of cheese on the ball. But naming a starter earlier is the smart play, if only to avoid all the scrutiny that'll come with making that call.
Also the smart play? Starting the guy who's healthy. If there's a debate about whether Sanchez can get healthy enough to work his way into the discussion then he's not healthy enough.
The Geno Smith era is close. Can you feel the excitement?
Mind you.....this report is coming from the douche Manish Meta, but it is what it is. I guess we get to see what Smith can do against the "Island".

French as a Second Language
Correlations NCFS & Provincial Guides: Prince Edward Island
Correlation Between the Prince Edward Island Provincial Curriculum Documents Approach to L2 Teaching and the Fundamental Components Proposed by the NFCS and Formative Assessment Toolkits
1. Does the guide refer to the development of an integrated multidimensional curriculum and how are the four major components in teaching a L2 addressed?
PEI uses the Multi-dimensional curriculum as the basis of Core French programs.
The second stage in the learning process is referred to as the Activity Stage and it is during this stage that the 4 syllabi are integrated.
Language - (as a means of communication, examples of language functions, language within a context, student control of language learning)
Language is not taught only through grammar, as students must now "acquire rather than learn the linguistic code."
Students learn French in order to be able to communicate and prepare students for the society around them.
Communicative/experiential learning - (working by themes/fields of experience in a student-centred approach based on the physical, social, civil, leisure and intellectual domains; lessons developed with pre-activity, activity, and post-activity stages; post-activity stage highlighting student reflection and feedback)
The themes used in the program are selected from the physical, social and leisure dimensions of life that the students can relate to.
The 3 stages of the Learning process are present.
The children are encouraged to self-evaluate themselves in French, as the final stage in the Learning Process is reflection on learning and self-evaluation. "This helps the students make connections and develop insights into learning, thus becoming better second language learners."
Students work in cooperative small group learning.
Culture - (larger role for culture teaching, from local to broader understandings, concentration on present realities, links to real people and events relevant to the students)
Songs and rhymes are important in second language teaching as it promotes the culture in the classroom.
The citizenship section refers to the understanding of the culture, from regional to international levels.
General Language Education -
(encouraging students to engage in higher order thinking process on their language learning through reflection)
The students must make observations and search for meaning in order to think critically and create strategies in order to solve problems.
3. Does it refer to evaluation as an integral part of the learning process encouraging the use of a variety of assessment and evaluation methods?
Yes. Evaluation is crucial to the success of any program, and is an integral part of instructional decision making.
In the secondary level, there are annexes that give grids for evaluations.
5. Does the guide refer to the NCFS, a Model for Implementation, the CASLT Assessment Toolkit documents?
The Assessment Instruments for French as a Second Language: Beginner Level was purchased for the elementary level, as well as L'évaluation formative des apprentissages en français langue seconde-niveau avancé, as well as Projet pan-canadien en évaluation en français de base, document de travail CASLT.
The NCFS is the basis of the core French programs.

Paralympic Sport Club Spotlight: Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio
Biweekly, USParalympics.org will spotlight one of the Paralympic Sport Clubs making a difference in the Paralympic Movement. Created in 2007 by U.S. Paralympics, a division of the United States Olympic Committee, the community based Paralympic Sport Club program involves youth and adults with physical and visual disabilities in physical activity and sports in their community, regardless of skill level. The program currently has 183 active Paralympic Sport Clubs in 46 states and Washington, D.C. To find Paralympic Sport Clubs and other adaptive, disabled and Paralympic sport opportunities in your community, visit the Paralympic Resource Network.
You are not alone.
In 2009, Lisa Followay started the Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio with that thought on her mind. "When people with physical disabilities make up only 10-percent of the population, it is easy for someone to feel like they're the only one in the world who has a disability but they're not," Followay said.
More than 21 million Americans have a physical disability, including the thousands of military personnel who recently sustained serious injuries during active duty service. For those who live in the state of Ohio, the Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio, also known as Paralympic Sport Club Ohio, is there to serve them.
"When you're with us, you don't have to explain yourself," Followay said. "You just have to come and participate. This helps people with physical disabilities, whether is it someone born with a congenital disability, or someone who developed their disability later in life, become comfortable with who they are. It helps them physically and socially."
Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio currently offers nine sports: archery, handcycling, power wheelchair soccer, sled hockey, swimming, track and field, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair softball and sailing, which is the newest addition.
Wheelchair track racing is the most popular discipline offered.
"I think the increase in participants has to do with the recent inclusion of wheelchair track events in the Ohio High School Athletic Association Track and Field State Championships," Followay said. "Kids were given the opportunity to compete alongside their peers for the first time."
Followay's son Casey, born with spina bifida, won the 400 and 800 meter races.
"As a parent, it was exciting because my son had a chance to win a state title for himself and for his school," Followay said. "It was very rewarding to see his efforts were paying off. He was on a team representing his school, competing. His teammates saw what he was capable of and they really respected him once they were able to see what wheelchair racing really is."
Followay also felt excitement as a fan.
"People in the crowd were picking out winners at the start line just like they were for other races," she said. "They were cheering as the athletes were crossing the finish line. They got into it. I got into it. Everyone in the stadium was into the events. They saw the competitiveness. They saw the athleticism. It was incredible. The crowd was very accepting. It wasn't pity clapping for the athletes, it was real excitement."
Followay campaigned for the opportunity for several years.
"We thought that maybe by Casey's senior year, he'd have the chance to compete at this level, but it came when he was a sophomore," Followay said. "It is incredible for him and for all high school students with physical disabilities."
Prior to the inclusion of wheelchair track and field in the event, Casey was the first wheelchair athlete to be included on a high school track and field team in the state of Ohio.
She hopes to see more track and field events added to the state championship in the future as well as inclusion of physically disabled athletes in additional sports. "There is always a need for more opportunity for people with physical disabilities to become active," Followay said.
Until additional activities arise, Followay and her staff at Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio are busy working on their own programming and the execution of events including Casey's Challenge, which is 10k, 5 and 1k walk/run event, and the ExCEL Summit, both of which were held earlier this summer.
"The ExCEL Summit brings athletes across the state to Wooster for multiple sports – track, swimming, wheelchair rugby and sled hockey," Followay said. "Our athletes receive a lot of experience in those sports but we take it further than just training."
The 30 participating athletes also receive nutrition tips as well as strength and conditioning instruction.
"We Skyped with an athletic trainer to talk about things athletes can do away from their sport," she said. "The trainer gave them advice on things they can do to make sure they're prepared when they're competing. If you've got really good training and good practices in areas like nutrition, the trainer told them, you have an advantage on all of your competitors who just get better by doing the sport."
Bryan Kirkland, who helped the U.S. to a Paralympic Games gold medal in wheelchair rugby, also came to the ExCEL Summit to inspire athletes.
Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio also hosts Paralympic Experiences, which are one-day opportunities for people to try out adaptive sports. Experiences were held in Akron in March and Cleveland in June with Columbus scheduled for September.
While funding for the Paralympic Experiences is provided by the United States Olympic Committee, most of the organization's other initiatives are funded by private grants. "We do a lot of granting writing here," Followay said.
For Followay, the only full-time employee, and her two part-time employees, running a program with a statewide reach is difficult but the hardest part is seeing people with physical disabilities not able to participate in a sports program close to their home.
"One of our goals is to make sure there is an opportunity for every physically disabled person in Ohio within an hour of where they live," she said. "We still have a long way to go but we know we can be successful. People want opportunities in the area. We find a way to offer it."
Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio also hopes to have a program in every sport contested in the Paralympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It is a lofty goal for the small non-profit but one Followay strongly believes in.
"One sport is not right for everyone," she said. "People with physical disabilities should have choices."
And Followay wants to make sure that when they do have choices, financial reasons are not the motivating factor for one sport or the other.
"As a parent, I know Casey doesn't care about how much it costs to get a track chair. He just wants to race," she said. "I know he doesn't care about the cost of ice time. He just wants to play."
Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio's equipment loaning program has put more than 100 pieces of equipment – everything from racing chairs to sled hockey pads – into the community.
"We want to take the financial burden out of adaptive sports," she said. "We want everyone to have local opportunities and the equipment that they need to take advantage of those opportunities."
It is a lofty goal but an important one.
"What we do makes a difference in the lives of people with physical disabilities."

Prophetic Practical Theology As Testimony | Books by James E. Loder
by Barbara A. Chaapel
James Edwin Loder, a professor of Christian education on the Princeton Seminary faculty for almost forty years and a world-renowned scholar in his field, died suddenly in Trenton, New Jersey, on November 9, 2001, at the age of 69.
Loder was an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) whose scholarly career was committed to the transformation of the individual that is possible within the Christian faith and to the role of Christian education in the church's ministry.
He joined the faculty of Princeton Theological Seminary in 1962 as an instructor, was appointed assistant professor in 1965, associate professor in 1967, and professor in 1979. In 1982 he was named to the Mary D. Synnott Chair of the Philosophy of Christian Education. He was chair of the Department of Practical Theology at the Seminary in 1991–1992, and was a member of the International Academy of Practical Theology.
Prior to joining the Seminary faculty, Loder was minister of Hope Chapel in Lakewood, New Jersey, in 1957, and of North Christian Church in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1959. He also served guest professorships at Drew University Theological School, Harvard University Divinity School, and Fuller Theological Seminary.
Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Loder was educated at Carleton College, from which he received his B.A. in 1953. He earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Princeton Seminary in 1957 and a Master of Theology degree from Harvard University Divinity School in 1958. He earned his Ph.D. from the Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1962.
His scholarship was interdisciplinary, focusing on studies combining theology and science, especially the human sciences and psychology. During the 1960s, he spent a year at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, where he was recipient of the Danforth Grant in Theology and Psychiatric Theory.
On March 18, 2002, Princeton Seminary and the John Templeton Foundation
cosponsored a workshop titled "Exploring Prayer and Spiritual Formation during Adolescence," dedicated to and in honor of Dr. Loder. Before his death, Loder was engaged in conversations with Dr. Arthur J. Schwartz at the Templeton Foundation about this workshop, and it is fitting that the conversation continued in his honor. For more information, please contact Tina Floyd, Communications Department, The John Templeton Foundation, Suite 100, 100 Matsonford Road, Radnor, PA 19087 or email
firstname.lastname@example.com .
Loder was a prolific author, having completed the volume
Educational Ministry in the Logic of the Spirit, to be published in 2002, just before his death. Other major books include
Religion in the Public Schools (1965), Religious Pathology and Christian Faith (1966),
The Transforming Moment: Understanding Convictional Experiences (1982),
The Knight's Move: The Relational Logic of the Spirit in Theology and
Science, with W.J. Neidhardt (1992), The Holy Spirit and Human Transformation (published in Korean, 1993), and
The Logic of the Spirit: Human Development in Theological Perspective.
He also authored numerous articles, reviews, and chapters in Christian education texts, including the entry on "Creativity" in the
Dictionary of Religious Education.
Loder was beloved by generations of PTS students. He is remembered by his students and colleagues as a Christian scholar who wanted to bring the rich resources of the Christian faith, including Scripture and the sacraments, into a healing and transforming relationship with the brokenness of human lives, the increasing fragmentation of society, and the deepening depersonalization implicit in modern culture.
Loder is survived by his wife, Arlene; two daughters, Kim V. Engelmann of San Mateo, California, and Tamara J. Tiss of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and three grandchildren, Christopher C. Engelmann, Julie K. Engelmann, and Jonathan J. Engelmann.
A memorial service was held on Wednesday, November 14 in Miller Chapel, and burial was in Princeton Cemetery.
Contributions can be made to Princeton Theological Seminary for a memorial fund in Dr. Loder's memory.

Well, UNC can't become bowl-eligible (which doesn't really matter to them because they are a basketball-first school) but they have prevented Virginia from doing so. Other than Clemson and FSU the ACC is pretty weak this year. Can't see both of them getting into the BCS though.
After watching this season, maybe ND might have to give joining the ACC for non-football sports a second thought.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I'd rather watch two crappy teams in a close game than like Bills @ Packers or something.
I don't think they will kill them. Quite honestly I don't know how GB wins when they do. And that isn't just a bias statement. They are like the Steelers except GB doesn't have a Defense.
I do think GB will win that game but it will be a field goal winning game.
Nah, the Packers will be unlucky to score less than 40, and the Lions will be lucky to score more than 20. It'll be an easy blowout for the Packers.
Kind of hoping the blowout does happen, tbh. The Lions need a big slap in the face.
I've felt the same way about my Viqueens many times. But when they win games like this that you think they are going to lose, it makes you feel a little bit more proud. It's a bond you have to build. I'm cursed to not watching any Vikings games this season because every loss this season came when I watched the game and all their wins when I didn't. You should try finding yourself a superstitious ritual (even if you don't believe in the stuff). It makes winning and losing more fun for you and gives you another way to connect w/ your team.
It's just like what I said earlier. I support the Lions, because I support the city of Detroit and think having good sports teams is good for the city, because it gets more people to come. Last year was awesome. The Red Wings were still the Red Wings, and the Lions and Tigers came out of nowhere and made the playoffs. I expected this year to be a repeat of 2011. But no. The Tigers were a major disappointment for most of the year, because with the exceptions of Miggy, Prince, Austin Jackson, and the starting pitching, pretty much everyone regressed, and they had Victor Martinez out for the year. Yes, they ultimately rebounded and made the World Series... but they got crushed when they got there, and their comeback was mostly due to the Chicago White Sox choking during the last couple weeks or so. There will be no hockey this year due to the lockout. And the Lions have been one of, if not the most disappointing team in the NFL this season. I mean, I know they were lucky last year and had a much easier schedule, and I expected some regression. But I expected an 8-8, 9-7, barely missing the playoffs type of regression, not a probable 4-12, 5-11 regression where their season is pretty much over a little after the halfway point. Good teams don't regress that much after one year.
I know the Lions aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, and they could still make it. But then again, the world could end tomorrow, too. I could become the first female President of the United States. The odds of it happening are equally astronomically low, just like the odds of them winning the Super Bowl as long as Ford owns the team.
But then again, I'm a new fan. Maybe I'm overreacting. Also, I don't believe in superstition (Madden Curse, etc.).
I'd just like to take this moment to say "Go Lions!". If the Bears lose to SF and the Packers win they have the lead in the division. -.-
So with any luck Stafford lights up the Pack's weak defense and Suh beats the crap out of Rodgers all day long! And then in DA BEARS game JC 2.0 doesn't check down so much, and our D does what it does best!
UM destroys Iowa with a final score around what I expect the Lions-Packers game to end up around. No surprise there. Not that it matters. Even if UM somehow beats OSU next week, Nebraska isn't going to lose to Minnesota or Iowa. They've pretty much already won the division.
I really wanted to see Iowa play Iowa State in a bowl game and now that will have to wait at least another year. I don't think Ferentz will be coaching the Nebraska game.
Notre Dame is off to a good start. We need to win our last 2 as well as Oregon lose to Stanford tonight and it will be ND VS. KSU in the national title game if KSU wins out.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Pretty excited for Stanford vs. Oregon tonight. Oregon is going to win but it should be a good game
Well looks like Notre Dame is going to be #1 in the polls and the BCS Standings now. They got the help they needed from both Baylor and Stanford. But I won't get to have my ND/KSU title game now.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Oh, fun. Will it be ND-Bama or something? I don't know, and frankly, I don't care.
Upset about that Oregon loss. But the beauty of college ball is that you don't have to stick to one team. ND has played well and has earned that spot @ #1. I'm hoping for some good Bowl games.
Well, how bout that huh. And here I was being happy the SEC WON'T be in the championship game
The BCS can't die any sooner.
I chase the dream, not the competition.
I'm gonna lol if this happens:
USC beats ND, Alabama wins SEC championship game, Florida beats FSU, Oregon loses to Oregon St., KSU loses to Texas, South Carolina beats Clemson, and it doesn't matter what Rutgers and Louisville do because nobody cares about the Big East.
Then we get Alabama vs. Florida for the BCS championship game. At least it wouldn't be a rematch, right?
My friend safari: Noibat, Gabite, Druddigon
Dallas Cowboys | Memphis Grizzlies
Wait, wait, wait, stop the presses.
The Lions are winning against the Pack? It's not like 30-0 Pack, like I expected it to be?
Also, the Jags, of all teams, are beating Houston?
What crazy world did I wake up in?
After last week I decided I wasn't watching anymore Eagles games this season, not good for my sanity at all. Out of curiosity, I decided to look on NFL.com just to see how they were doing against the Redskins, and I see we got blown out 31-6. I want to believe Philadelphia just realized that their season was done and are already looking ahead to the Draft.
At least the Eagles realize that. The Lions don't, and I guess they played the Pack competitively. I actually thought they might pull out this victory.
But no. Wonder Boy Aaron Rodgers came back and beat them in the last five minutes or so. Now, the Lions have to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
Welp. 5-11 record, top 5 draft pick, and Bill Cowher/Chip Kelly/my mom/whoever replacing Jim Schwartz as head coach, here we come. Maybe that's for the best, though. The Lions are a garbage team that got lucky last year and will never go anywhere until Ford sells the team to someone who actually would care about them.
I don't want to watch any more games, but I'm going to have to next week, due to Thanksgiving and Lions football being tradition here. Going to have fun watching the Texans blow them out.

Topic: Please Help! Trying to install rails stack on a Slicehost VPS
I recently got a VPS from Slicehost and I am having a terrible time trying to get rails set up properly. I followed this tutorial on the rails wiki http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages byBindings and I still cannot get it to work. I stopped at the part where it tells you to try your test application... because it didn't work.
I get a 403 error when I try to access http://www.ericsessions.com/home/index. It says "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /home/index on this server."
the document root is /var/www/ericsessions.com/public/testapp/public (its got two publics b/c I'm trying to use apache w/ a vhost setup and each domain will have domain.xxx/public as its document root then I created the rails app in the document root for my vhost ericsessions.com)
I removed the index.html file.
I did chmod 755 testapp but it still returns the same error. I don't have a clue where to start. Thank you very much in advance.

A year ago I didn't even know that Kawasaki made a GPZ in the 90s. I was looking for a replacement for my threadbare 84 Ninja 900. Something a little comfier with more low end grunt and the ZX14 was not in the budget. I spent a year looking for a low mileage Connie but the few I found were way overpriced. I saw a month old ad in a local weekly swap and sell it guide for a 95 GPZ with 4k on it. I spent a couple days searching the web and found http://list.gpz1100.com/ and a handful of other sites. That weekend I went and saw the bike and was blown away by the condition of the bike. It looked like a brand new bike, other than a couple of silly Superman stickers (any tips on removing stickers?) The guy had been listing it locally for a month and hadn't had any takers. I bought it for $2000.00. Compared to most of you guys on the list I am a casual rider at best but I put about 6000 miles on her last year just as she was. This year I plan on some upgrades, I already picked up some gen mars and a stage 1 dynojet kit, and have a zero gravity sport touring windscreen on its way. I'll probably be driving you all nuts with NewB questions in the near future, but hey you let me join ;P

At Cogswell College we focus on learning by doing. While we don't ignore the theory and principles behind a process, we don't feel the learning is complete until you've actually undertaken a project and put the new skills to use.
The Fall Semester 'Project Management' class had to break up into teams and then develop promotional materials that would introduce people to one of Cogswell's majors. The goal of the mid-term project's assignment was for the collateral developed to interest people in becoming students at Cogswell. In order to successfully complete the project, students had to organize, assign tasks, set up a timetable, deliver the project and then evaluate their results.
"I wanted the finished piece to show the pride they take in their education, why they are excited about what they are doing and what they are about as students," said Albert Chen, faculty for the class. "The assignment definitely reinforced the skills they learned during the class."
This short video highlighting Cogswell's Digital Media Management degree program and its Game Design & Business Modeling major was completed in two weeks by a team of six students. The students who worked on the project are: Vincent Velo, Andrew Traxler, Eric Tran, Frank Maddox, Oleksandra Keehl and Halsey Herms.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary AnswersAbout the Author: Meghan O'Toole serves as Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Dublin.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took time to stroll through one of Dublin's most iconic streets on Sunday, accompanied by Ambassador and Mrs. Rooney. Dublin shoppers along the pedestrian corridor of Grafton Street were surprised to see Secretary Clinton arrive fresh from her meetings with Taoiseach Brian Cowen and President Mary McAleese.
The Secretary posed for pictures with families and some fellow Americans who were visiting Dublin. "We're from New Jersey!" one couple shouted before the Secretary smiled and gave them enthusiastic thumbs up. The crowd moved with the Secretary towards Bewley's Café where she ordered a coffee to go. The cafe buzzed with delighted customers who had just settled in for an uneventful cup of coffee before heading off into the crisp evening. The second story window seats at Bewley's proved to be the ideal spot for people watching when the Secretary and her entourage gathered below. Customers old and young pressed their faces to the glass, and seemed unsure whether to run downstairs and join the crowd or stay seated upstairs for the birds eye view.
The Secretary then walked up Grafton Street and turned off on Harry Street for a stop at McDaid's pub, a favorite haunt for many Irish literary figures. The busy pub welcomed the Secretary with a surprised and enthusiastic ovation. As she sipped a half pint of Harp Lager, Secretary Clinton spoke with renowned Irish broadcaster George Hook of Newstalk Radio's "The Right Hook," and discussed world issues from the global economy to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
Young mothers held their children above the crowds outside of McDaid's and one told her son to "look for the lady in the yellow scarf!" The crowd shifted back to South Anne Street where Secretary Clinton warmly thanked Ambassador and Mrs. Rooney. Onlookers continued to cheer and snap pictures on their cell phones as the lady in the yellow scarf, Secretary Clinton, departed for Dublin Airport and concluded her first official visit as Secretary of State to Ireland.

I really wish I could have been there when she was there. I knew this leg of the trip (and the Northern Ireland leg) would be a huge Hillary love-fest.
Anna in Washington, DC writes:
@ Meghan -- Dublin is a beautiful city. Thanks for sharing about Secretary Clinton's visit!
Ursula in Massachusetts writes:
Dear Meghan: What a lovely review of Secretary Clinton's visit to Ireland. It sounds as if she was properly welcomed -- no surprise that the Irish people would provide such enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing!

More Toast: Betty Carter introduces JD Allen 12/31/1994
December 22, 2010. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Betty Carter, Great Live Moments, Jazz Alive, JD Allen, toast of the nation, Yoshi's
For over 30 years, WBGO has rung in the New Year with Toast of the Nation. As we gear up for this year's broadcast, Senior Producer Becca Pulliam is digging up some gems from the archives of past shows. Next up, Betty Carter in 1994:
The show begins and Betty Carter (1929-98) says, Happy New Year! Why do we have to think about all these years? A bittersweet moment to hear it now, as she did not have many more to live. But on this night, she offers to the time gods a young band of Xavier Davis on piano, Eric Revis on bass, Will Terrell III on drums, and two soloists - Peven Everett on trumpet and John D. Allen on tenor.
Listening back, I love "You're Mine" from the early set. JD's tenor solo must have made BC very happy. Listen.
This New Year's Eve on a Toast of the Nation set from Denver, JD leads his trio with guest Ron Miles on trumpet and a cameo from Henry Butler on piano. Starting at 1:15am ET.
Click below for some "slices" of our previous toasts:
And tune in to your local NPR station for this year's broadcast!

Germany's Marc Zwiebler won his first European Championships men's singles gold medal on Saturday, but the expected onslaught from his teammates failed to materialise as Denmark walked away with the majority of the titles yet again.
European powerhouse Denmark had appeared to be in danger of losing their crown as the top team in the continent after some shock results in the men's singles and mixed doubles which saw Peter Gade, Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen and Thomas Laybourn-Kamilla Rytter Juhl all suffered early exits.
But in the end, Tine Baun (right), helped Denmark to the top of the pile with three gold medals after she edged archrival Juliane Schenk of Germany in the women's singles final.
Schenk, who many had expected to test Baun's resolve, put up a tremendous fight to force the match into a rubber game. The Dane, however, finished the stronger of the duo and pull off a 21-19, 16-21, 21-19 victory.
Denmark also won two of the doubles titles as top seeds Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen crushed Germany's Michael Fuchs-Oliver Roth 21-11, 21-11 in the men's doubles while Pedersen-Juhl (below), edged teammates Line Damkjaer Kruse-Marie Roepke 21-17, 24-22 in the women's doubles.
Denmark had a chance for a fourth crown in the mixed doubles where surprise finalists Mads Pieler Kolding-Julie Houmann, who had defeated Laybourn-Juhl came face to face with Nielsen-Pedersen's conquerors' Robert Mateusiak-Nadiezda Zieba.
The seventh seeded Polish pair used their experience to move the Danes round the court before finally winning 21-12, 24-22.
Zwiebler, meanwhile, was up against giant killer Henri Hurskainen of Sweden and the partisan crowd, who were hoping for a hometown victory.
Hurskainen, who upset five-time champion Peter Gade and former world junior champion Viktor Axelsen in the previous two rounds, gave it his all against the more fancied German, but could not find a chink in his armour and fell 21-15, 21-13.
For full results, click here.
Singles: Marc Zwiebler (Germany) bt Henri Hurskainen (Sweden) 21-15, 21-13.
Doubles: Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen (Denmark) bt Michael Fuchs-Oliver Roth (Germany) 21-11, 21-11.
Singles: Tine Baun (Denmark) bt Juliane Schenk (Germany) 21-19, 16-21, 21-19.
Doubles: Christinna Pedersen-Kamilla Rytter Juhl (Denmark) bt Line Damkjaer Kruse-Marie Roepke (Denmark) 21-17, 24-22.
Mixed doubles: Robert Mateusiak-Nadiezda Zieba (Poland) bt Mads Pieler Kolding-Julie Houmann (Denmark) 21-12, 24-22.

An ADRC provides a seamless entry point to LTC services and supports – consumers can call one number, come to one organization, talk to one person, and begin the process of having their needs met. CPW conducted seven focus groups to collect information from potential users on two primary subjects: (1) how to reach them better through ADRC marketing materials, and (2) what types of information to include on the Healthy Living portion of the ADRC website. Focus group participants reviewed prototypes of brochures and posters and then discussed types of information they would like to see on the future Healthy Living website.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released a statement today on the announcement of a new Iraqi government. The Secretary said it is now time for Iraqis to take the next steps to confront the challenges facing their nation. She continued, "I congratulate Iraq's political leaders on forming a new, inclusive government that respects the will of the Iraqi people, reflects the nation's diversity, and demonstrates a commitment to democratic ideals. This government is a testament to the desire of Iraqis to settle their differences through free debate and an open exchange of ideas. Iraq's leaders must now take the next steps to tackle the many important challenges still facing their nation and realize a brighter future for all Iraqis."
Secretary Clinton reinforced the United States' continued support for security and prosperity in Iraq. She said, "The United States will continue working with our Iraqi partners at each stage to build a strong, long-lasting relationship between our countries that promotes security and prosperity in Iraq, and stability throughout the region. Our partnership is founded on mutual respect and mutual interest as we work to achieve shared goals. With the new government in place, we look forward to expanding our economic and security relationship, promoting cooperation on science, education, and health, strengthening the rule of law and transparent governance, deepening our cultural exchanges, and improving our partnership in all the areas laid out in our Strategic Framework Agreement. We will also continue helping Iraq take up its increasing role as a constructive member of the international community."
In closing she said, "The formation of this government is a milestone in the emergence of the new Iraq. It constitutes a resounding rejection of the extremists who sought to derail the democratic process and sow discord among Iraqis. Iraq is a great nation with a promising future, and we will stand shoulder to shoulder with the new government to help our Iraqi friends build on what they have already achieved."

This year, we will all witness and likely participate in the 2012 U.S. presidential election in an unprecedented manner thanks to social media and rapidly emerging technology. Not only are the campaigns and mainstream media using these tools, but voters will also have unique opportunities that will help inform their vote on Election Day come November. Here are five ways that digital media is changing the modern political environment in the U.S.:

There is no cheap-oil future for us, and if humanity doesn't make the transition to a sustainable energy source, Mother Nature will. Robert Rapier, Chief Technology Officer of Merica International, issued this warning during an opening presentation at Footprint Forum aimed at providing a briefing in some of the ways we are hitting ecological limits.
According to Rapier, we are reaching the point at which rising human demand for oil is outpacing our ability to discover new sources of oil. As populations grows and large segments of humanity seek to improve their standard of living, supply will simply not be able to keep up with demand, driving the price of oil up and availability down.
According to Rapier, peak oil—when oil production rates begin an irreversible decline – will have a direct effect on global warming. "When there's a decline in oil production, the first thing we do is turn to coal plants and tar sands," he said. "We will demand that because we have built a society on cheap oil. But eventually fossil fuels will run out." That would address the problem of climate change, he said, but most likely not in the way people would like to see it solved.
Rapier is Chief Technology Officer for Merica International, a bioenergy holding company. He has authored a number of articles on energy and sustainability, including a chapter on renewable diesel for "Biofuels, Solar and Wind as Renewable Energy Systems: Benefits and Risks." Rapier's presentation was given during a session titled "Challenges," during which several speakers laid out key issues exacerbating today's environmental challenges.

Nail-Biting TimePosted by Jerry Bowles in Classical Music, Composers, Contemporary Classical, Scores
The clock is ticking and things are pretty tense here in the old control room. The fate of the Republic hangs in the balance. I refer, of course, not just to next week's election which is only the most important one we've had in the past 250 years but to tonight's showdown between number 3 West Virginia (yea) and number 5 Louisville (boo). May rightousness (my team) prevail in both encounters.
With that in mind, it seems like a good day to talk about graphic scores. What are they? Who does them? And, most importantly, why? Start here with Roger Bourland's post about George Crumb, which is accompanied by a score that looks like a seating plan of Giants Statium laid out for a Stones concert.
