Catholic Rosary Mysteries
When meditating upon the Annunciation mystery it may be useful to look at a picture of the Annunciation or even listen to some soothing, uplifting music.
Be mindful that the fruit of this mystery is humility and recall this scene as you meditate...
The Angel Gabriel appears to Mary, a young Jewish girl.
Gabriel greets Mary saying, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Luke 1:28.
These familiar words is how Mary is greeted in the Hail Mary Prayer, the main rosary prayer.
Gabriel is declaring that Mary is holy. She never had original sin, in the words of the angel, she is "full of grace".
Mary being very humble is disturbed by the angels words. The angel recognizing this then adds, "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God."Luke 1:30
Gabriel continues with his message to Mary,
"Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." Luke 1:31-33
Now because Mary is a virgin she is puzzled and asks the angel how this is possible.
He answers her...
"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." Luke 1:35
Mary knows about the promise of a savior and is well informed of the Messianic prophesies of the Old Testament.
However, when you look at her comments to the angel, Mary obviously doesn't fully understand all that is happening to her but she answers in the most obedient and confident way.
She says...
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word." -Luke 1:38
Mary always conforms her will to that of God's.
Imitating Mary's attitude toward God's will is a sure way to bring peace to your life.
For the exact Bible account of the Annunciation please see Luke 1:26-38

In The Visitation Elizabeth Is Overjoyed By Mary's Visit
"And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
-Luke 1:43
The Visitation is took place when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth.
Considering this scene and looking at a picture, will help you meditate on this mystery of the rosary.
Keep in mind also that the fruit of this mystery is love of neighbor.
Use the following story to help you set the scene;...
During the Angel Gabriel's appearance to Mary, he also tells her that her cousin Elizabeth is expecting a baby.
Elizabeth is much older than Mary and was thought to be infertile because of her age and because she had no children.
Gabriel reveals this to Mary to show that "no word shall be impossible with God" -Luke 1:36.
After the Angel leaves, Mary visits her Cousin Elizabeth. Mary enters into the house of Elizabeth and her husband Zachary.
When Elizabeth hears Mary's greeting she feels her child leap within her. Elizabeth proclaims to Mary...
"Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." -Luke 1:42
This phrase again is used in the Catholic Rosary Prayers, the Hail Mary Prayer. Elizabeth continues...
"And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy." -Luke 1:43-44
Leapt for joy...notice here that St. John the Baptist, Elizabeth's child, is the first to experience the joys of Mary and Jesus. How special he is.
Mary responded to Elizabeth with another famous prayer the Magnificat which is taken directly from St. Luke's Gospel chapter 1:46-55...
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid;
for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me;
and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations,
to them that fear him.
He hath showed might in his arm:
he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat,
and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
Notice that it is Biblical to refer to Mary as Blessed.
It says so right in the New Testament, "All generations shall call me blessed."
You obey this command when you pray the Rosary and especially when you meditate upon this mystery, the Visitation.
Mary then stays with Elizabeth for three months. Surely she helps her cousin who was late in pregnancy.
Elizabeth has a son and names him John.
The Bible says that he is the prophet of the highest and that he prepares his way.
The highest is, of course, Jesus and John went before Jesus and "enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace." -Luke 1:79
Meditating upon the mysteries of the Rosary and especially the Visitation, will direct your feet into the way of peace.

All Of Heaven And Earth Rejoiced At The Birth Of Jesus
"And seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
-Matthew 2:10
Catholic Rosary Myteries
There are many artistic renditions of the Birth of Jesus, also known as the Nativity. Choose one that most inspires you and keep this scene in mind as you meditate on the Birth of Jesus mystery...
Mary and Joseph must travel to Bethlehem to register for a census of the entire Roman Empire.
People are ordered to travel to the town of their ancestors to register. Joseph (and Mary) are from the family of David and therefore go to Bethlehem, the city of David.
Mary is often depicted as traveling ready to deliver the baby on the back of a small donkey being led by her loyal and chaste spouse, St. Joseph.
Because so many people are traveling at this time, Joseph and Mary can't find anywhere to stay.
They go from place to place seeking a warm room where the baby can be born.
Time after time the door is closed to them with the words "no room in the inn" echoing in their ears.
Finally they are offered lodging in a stable.
Jesus, the Son of God, comes into the world in the most lowly and humble of places.
He is born in a stable among livestock and laid in a manger.
It is interesting to note that the word Bethlehem means "house of bread" and Jesus the "Bread of Life" John 6:35 was born there and laid in a manger, a feeding trough for animals.
This account is a foreshadow of the Institution of the Eucharist.
There are shepherds nearby watching their sheep and suddenly an angel appears to them and says,
"Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:
"Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will." -Luke 2:10-14
The shepherds leaving their flocks are the first to go and worship the baby Jesus.
The shepherds are the first to see Jesus.
The King of kings and Lord of lords humbles Himself to be born in a manger and to have among his first visitors simple shepherds.
Mary is also truly humble.
She says not a word.
She does not seek attention or praise, rather the Bible says, she "kept all these things pondering them in her heart." -Luke 2:20
And upon leaving they are the first to bring the Good News of Jesus' birth to the world.
The Magi, or the Three Wise Men come from the east. They are astrologers who are following a star that is raising up above the place where Jesus is born.
On their travels they stop in Jerusalem and ask King Herod where the king of the Jews is and say that they have followed his star and come to adore him.
Now King Herod being a jealous man tricks the Three Wise Men into thinking that he also wants to worship the newborn king.
He tells them he does not know where the baby is but when they find him to return and tell him so he too may go and worship the baby.
Continuing on their journey, they follow the star to Bethlehem.
"And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh." -Matthew 2:11
These three wise men are the first of the Gentiles to visit Jesus.
After the three wise men leave, St. Matthew goes on to say that an angel appears to St. Joseph in a dream and tells him to flee to Egypt.
King Herod is threatened by the birth of Jesus and tries to kill him.
In Egypt, the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph are safe.
When Herod dies, an angel again tells Saint Joseph to go back to Israel because the baby is now safe.
There was no room for the Prince of Peace in the inns of Bethlehem.

Presentation Of Jesus In The Temple...
Another Lesson In Obedience
"The sons of wisdom are the church of the just:
and their generation, obedience and love."
-Eccl 3:1
Catholic Rosary Mysteries
This scene sets the stage for the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.
Keep these events in mind as well as the fruit of the mystery which is the virtue of obedience.
You will find it helpful to look at a picture of the Presentation of Jesus or even listen to some music that will uplift your soul...
Mary and Joseph take the baby Jesus to Jerusalem "to present him to the Lord" -Luke 2:22
The presentation of Jesus in the temple is in fulfillment with the Jewish law.
Every male child must be taken to the temple and an animal must be offered as a sacrifice.
That is why Joseph is usually artistically depicted in this scene holding a cage with two doves in it.
The prophet Simeon and the prophetess Anna meet the Holy Family while at the temple in Jerusalem. Simeon was told by God that he would see the Savior before he died.
When Simeon sees baby Jesus he takes him from Mary and holds Him in his arms and praises God proclaiming, "Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation" -Luke 2:29
Simeon then blesses Mary and Joseph and prophesies to Mary:
"Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed." -Luke 34-35
Even though this is a joyful occasion you can see in the words of Simeon a foreshadow of the sorrows that will be shared between Jesus and his Mother Mary.
Mary suffered with Jesus from the beginning to the end.
Anna also proclaims that this child, the baby Jesus, is the long awaited Messiah.
After all this the Holy Family leaves Jerusalem and returns to Nazareth.
There they live in peace and joy for many years before Jesus begins His public life.
For the Bible says...
"The child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom; and the grace of God was in him." -Luke 2:40

Re: praying the rosary
Mary Experienced Relief And Great Joy In Finding Jesus
In The Temple
"Seek, and you shall find."
-Matthew 7:7
Catholic Rosary Myteries
While meditating on Finding Jesus in the Temple, it is helpful to look at a picture or listen to some uplifting music and keep the following story in mind while meditating on this final rosary mystery of the Joyful Mysteries...
Every year during the feast of the Passover, the Holy Family went to Jerusalem.
The Gospel of St. Luke tells of one particular trip when the twelve year old Jesus remains behind in Jerusalem. Mary and Joseph don't know this however. Mary thinks Jesus is with Joseph and Joseph thinks He is with Mary. This could easily happen because the women and men would travel in separate groups and Jesus was at the age when he could be either with His father or His mother.
Mary and Joseph do not notice He is missing until an entire day passes. Can you imagine the anxiety they felt? They lost the Christ Child. When realizing He is not with either of them, they look for Him among their family and friends. Much to their sorrow, they do not find Him so they quickly return to Jerusalem.
After three days, their anxiety turns to joy when they find Jesus "sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom". -Luke 2:46-47
Mary asks Him, "Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing." -Luke 2:48
The child Jesus replies, "How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?" -Luke 2:49
Ones again Mary does not fully understand but she humbly accepts what He says to her. Jesus goes on to set a wonderful example. Jesus, the King of Kings, goes home and is obedient to them.
Peace will penetrate your life when you follow the example of Jesus here and you become obedient first to God, then to Church authority and lastly to civil authority.
Remember,"render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's" -Luke 20:25
Just as she did at the Nativity, Mary, His mother "kept all these words in her heart." -Luke 2:51
"And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men." -Luke 2:52
The Bible passages for Finding Jesus in the Temple were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you would like to read the full scriptural account of the Finding Jesus in the Temple can be found in Luke 2:41-52.

Luminous Rosary Mystery Baptism Of Jesus
"John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching
the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins."
-Mark 1:4
Catholic Rosary Myteries
When meditating on the Baptism of Jesus, it may be useful to look at a picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan. Or even listen to some uplifting music.
Be mindful that the fruit of this mystery is living your baptismal promises and recall this scene as you meditate...
John the Baptist was Jesus' cousin and the son of Elizabeth.
Jesus and John had a special relationship that began when his mother and Mary were both pregnant with them.
John leapt in his mother's womb when Mary, came to visit her.
John preached throughout the river Jordan. He encouraged people to get baptized to cleanse them of their sins to prepare for the coming of Jesus.
He prophecized that the Messiah would come and baptize with fire and the Holy Spirit.
Seeing Jesus John exclaimed, "behold the lamb of God."
Sometimes St. John the Baptist is shown holding a banner that says "Ecce agnus Dei" which means behold the lamb of God.
John at first refused to baptize him.
But Jesus told him "Let it be so now, for by us must all righteousness be fulfilled." And John then baptized him.
When Jesus came out of the water, the voice of the Lord was heard as the Holy Spirit descended upon him in the form of a dove.
The voice of God said, "This is my beloved Son, in who I am well pleased."
Then after being filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus went out into the desert where He fasted and prayed for 40 days.

Luminous Rosary Mystery
Wedding At Cana
"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee;
and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him."
-John 2:11
Catholic Rosary Myteries
When meditating on the occasion of Jesus first miracle, the Wedding at Cana, you may find it helpful to look at a picture of the event or listen to some uplifting music.
The story below will help familiarize you with this second of the Luminous mysteries of the rosary prayers...
Mary and Jesus were at a wedding in Galilee in an area called Cana. The hosts ran out of wine. Mary went to Jesus and told him they had no wine. Jesus responded to her, "Woman, what is that to me and to you? My hour is not yet come."
This has been misinterpreted by some who say Jesus is rebuking His mother.
This is not true. How could it be. Jesus is sinless and is the perfect son. He would never rebuke His mother.
Mary did not respond. Rather she went to the waiters and told them, "Do whatever He tells you."
Her remark her proves that she knew He was about to perform a miracle. She knew that he would fulfil her request.
Jesus instructed the servants to fill some huge pots with water. Because of Mary's advice they obeyed. He told them then to draw some water from the freshly filled pots and take it to the head servant. They again obeyed and were amazed to see that the water was miraculously turned into wine.
The head servant not knowing what had occurred, went to the bride and groom and congratulated them on serving the best wine last.
As the Bible states, Jesus first miracle "manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him." -John 2:11

Luminous Rosary Mystery
Proclaiming The Kingdom of God
"Men must look for the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ"
-Pius XI
Catholic Rosary Myteries
When meditating on this mystery, remember that Jesus proclaiming the kingdom of God does so in His works and by His examples.
In this mystery, light is shed on the glory of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Below you will find some verses that Pope John Paul II cited in his encyclical, Rosarium Mariae.
The fruit of Proclaiming the Kingdom mystery is repentance and trust in God.
Jesus calls His followers to conversion and repentance...
"Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel." Mark 1:14-15
Jesus forgives the humble who display faith in Him. The humble show sorrow for their sins. They also show love and hope.
"And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four. And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay. And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts: Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only? Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like. And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them." -Mark 2:3-13
While Jesus was proclaiming the kingdom of God, he explained that His kingdom is filled with mercy and will last for all time...
"When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." -John 20:22-23
When speaking of the truths of Jesus, the Nicene Creed states the phrase, "of whose kingdom there shall be no end". This phrase points to the eternal kingship of Jesus.
"As long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations." -Pius XI from the encyclical Quas Primas

Re: praying the rosary
Luminous Rosary Mystery
The Transfiguration
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness:
without which no man shall see God."
-Hebrews 12:14
Catholic Rosary Myteries
When meditating on The Transfiguration of Jesus it may be helpful to look at a picture of this event or listen to some uplifting music.
The Transfiguration is the fourth of the new Luminous Mysteries rosary and is a key event in the life of Jesus.
It beautifully complements both the Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries by adding meditations on the Rosary that gave strength to the apostles during Jesus passion and were a foreshadow of Jesus' glory that was soon to come.
As you read this retelling of the Transfiguration, keep in mind that the fruit of this mystery is a desire for holiness.
Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John on Mount Tabor.
When the three disciples and Jesus reached the top of the mountain, Jesus' "face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow."
Then suddenly Peter, James and John saw Moses and Elias appear.
They were talking to Jesus. Peter got very excited and didn't really understand the significance of what was happening as he called out to Jesus saying...
"Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias."
Jesus did not answer him and a bright cloud came and covered them.
A booming voice came from the cloud.
It was the voice of God.
The words they heard were, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him."
This frightened Peter, James and John. Immediately they fell prostrate.
Jesus went to them, stooped down, gently touched them then said, "Arise, and fear not."
When they arose, they only saw Jesus and the apparition was over.
While they were making their descent from the mountain Jesus gave them this command...
"Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead." -Matthew 17:9

Luminous Rosary Mystery
Institution Of The Eucharist
"I am the living bread that has come down from heaven.
If anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever."
-John 6:51-52
Catholic Rosary Myteries
The Institution of the Eucharist is the greatest gift Jesus left you - a gift that will help you lead a holy and peace filled life. It is the final of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. and a very fitting conclusion to this new set of Rosary mysteries.
You may find that it is helpful to look at a picture of the apostles and Jesus Last Supper. Or even listen to some music that will help you recall this blessed scene.
The following story will help your meditations on the Rosary as you keep it in mind as you pray the Rosary prayers.
The fruit of this mystery is adoration.
"Satan entered into Judas" and he went to the chief priests to betray Jesus". -Luke 22:3
The chief priests were very pleased because they wanted to have Jesus put to death but they couldn't find a quiet way to arrest Him.
They promised to pay Judas thirty pieces of silver and the betrayal was arranged.
The time for the Passover was drawing near. Jesus gave directions to the disciples to go into Jerusalem where they would meet a man carrying a pitcher of water.
They were to follow the man and tell him that Jesus wanted a place to eat the Passover meal with His twelve apostles.
Following Jesus' directions, they entered the city and found the man who in turn led them to a room that was prepared for their meal.
During the meal Jesus said, "Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me."
This really disturbed them all and they began asking "Is it I, Lord?"
Jesus said in response...
"He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me...woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed: it were better for him, if that man had not been born."
Then Judas who had already committed to betraying Jesus asked, "Is it I, Rabbi?"
Jesus just responded, "Thou hast said it."
Then Jesus took bread then blessing it, He broke it and gave it to His disciples and said, "Take ye, and eat. This is my body."
Then He took the chalice filled with wine and gave it to them saying...
"Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins."
After the meal they all went out to the Mount of Olives where Jesus entered His agony.
For an exact scriptural account you can read Mark 14:10-15, Matthew 26:19-30

Re: praying the rosary
The Sorrowful Rosary Mystery
The Agony in the Garden
Jesus' agony In the garden reassures You that you are not alone In your suffering...
"Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were
hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not."
-Isaias 53
Catholic Rosary Myteries
The Agony in the Garden is such a sad event. It's when Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane and has been often depicted by artists throughout the ages.
While meditating on this Sorrowful Mystery, you may find it helpful to view some pictures of this sad event or even listen to some music that will put you in the meditative mood.
It is the first of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary prayers.
As you meditate on this mystery you should feel a true sorrow for the sins you have committed, for they too contributed to the emotional pain Jesus suffered.
Following the Institution of the Eucharist at the last supper, Jesus takes His disciples to an olive grove, called Gethsemane. He tells most of them to stay behind while He leads Peter, James and John further into the garden to pray.
The Bible says Jesus "began to grow sorrowful and to be sad." He reveals to Peter, James and John, "My soul is sorrowful even unto death". He tells the three of them to stay behind and watch as he goes further alone to pray.
Jesus falls upon his face in an agony being overwhelmed by what He knows He must suffer the next day in atonement for the sins of mankind. He prays to God, "My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
An angel came and comforted Jesus. St. Luke's gospel says, "And being in an agony, he prayed the longer." -Luke 22:43
Returning to Peter, James and John, who have fallen asleep, Jesus somewhat disappointed asks them, "Could you not watch one hour with me?"
He tells them to pray that they will be guarded against temptation. Then He leaves them once again and goes off alone once more to pray. Again He prays to God saying, "My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done."
Once again Jesus returns to Peter, James and John. And once again they have fallen asleep.
He leaves them for a third time and prays the same prayer and this time upon returning and finding them asleep Jesus says, "Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners."
Judas approaches Jesus along with soldiers and kissing Him he says, "Hail, Rabbi." Previously, Judas told the soldiers that the Man whom he would kiss would be Jesus. And Jesus sadly replied saying, "Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?" -Luke 22:48
The soldiers take hold of Jesus and all the disciples run away abandoning Him. Jesus is then taken to Caiphas, the high priest where many people are already gathered awaiting Him.
The Bible passages of Jesus' Agony were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you are looking for a more modern language version of the Agony in the Garden, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.
Most of what is recounted above about the Agony in the Garden, can be found in St. Matthew's Gospel in Matthew 26:36-57.

The Sorrowful Rosary Mystery
Scourging At The Pillar
Understand The Nature Of Suffering
To Bring Serenity In Your Life
"Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:10
Catholic Rosary Myteries
The scourging at the pillar is a mournful event that serves as a reminder of the horrors Jesus suffered for love of you.
It may be useful to look at a picture of the scourging at the pillar. Or even listen to some uplifting music while meditating on this mystery of the rosary.
When meditating on this second of the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary, keep in mind that the fruit of the mystery is purity.
Jesus scourged is a truly sorrowful event in the life of Jesus.
It is beneficial to meditate upon it and you can do so in the Rosary prayer. Below is an account of Jesus' trial and scourging...
After Jesus was arrested, He was brought before Ciaphas the high priest. Ciaphas, after finding Him "guilty" took Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ruled over those parts.
Jesus was brought before Pilate, because Jesus' enemies wanted Him executed and only the Roman ruler could have a prisoner put to death.
This all made Pilate quite uncomfortable.
Pilate went on to interview Jesus.
During the interview, Pilate asked Jesus...
"Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice. Pilate saith to him: What is truth?" -John 18:37-38.
In all justice, Pilate believed it was wrong to condemn Jesus to death.
His crime did not warrant such a punishment.
Pilate was also a coward. He was afraid the leaders of the Jews would start a rebellion if he did not give into their demands.
Trying to weasel his way out of this predicament, and in honor of the feast day of the Passover, he offered to release a prisoner.
Hoping the people would chose Jesus, Pilate had them choose either Jesus or Barabas a violent criminal.
His plan backfired and the people chose to have Barabas released and demanded that Jesus be crucified.
Knowing he was backed into a corner and being a weak man, he caved into the pressure from the crowd and symbolically asked for a bowl and then washed his hands in the water claiming he was innocent of Jesus blood.
"Then he released to them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified." -Matthew 27:26
Jesus was stripped of His clothes and tied to a stone pillar.
He was surrounded by a blood thirsty mob who were shouting and encouraging the cruel Roman soldiers as they lashed His divine flesh with leather whips tipped with sharp stones.
Blood flowed forth as His flesh was torn from His sacred body.
The Bible passages for the Scourging at the Pillar were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you are looking for a more modern language version of the Scourging at the Pillar, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.
If you would like to read the full scriptural account of the Scourging at the Pillar it can be found in Mark 15:15 and the Old Testament prophesy Isaias 53:2-5.

The Third Sorrowful Mystery
Understand Suffering Like Jesus' Crowning With Thorns
To Achieve Peace In Your Life
"If doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving you an example that you should follow his steps."
-1Peter 2:20-21
Catholic Rosary Myteries
By meditating upon jesus' Crowning With Thorns you will come to see that suffering must be understood before peace can be grasped.
When meditating on Jesus' Crown of thorns, the third of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, you may find it helpful to listen to some uplifting music or look at a picture of the suffering Jesus thorn crown.
Keep in mind as you read this account that the fruit of the mystery is moral courage.
As if it wasn't bad enough having Jesus Scourged, the cruel soldiers mocked Him and crowned Him with thorns.
They clothed Him in a scarlet robe, the color of royalty.
Then they pressed upon Jesus thorn crown.
They placed a reed into His right hand and made fun of His Divine Kingship.
Mocking Him all the while with their pretend coronation.
The inhumane executioners pranced around Jesus shouting in jest, "Hail King of the Jews" and mockingly they bowed down before Him.
They taunted Him and took the reed from His hand and struck His head with it.
His own blood blinded Him as it trickled into His Eyes.
How those agonizing blows made Jesus suffer compounding the throbbing pain caused by the crown of thorns upon His head.
Three out of the four Gospels recount this sorrowful event in the life of Jesus.
Jesus being crowned with thorns is one of the sorrowful events in the life of Jesus that it makes your heart sigh that they would treat Jesus as such.
The Bible passages for the Crowning With Thorns were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you are looking for a more modern language version of the Crowning With Thorns, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.
The exact Bible text can be found in Mark 15:16, Matthew 27:28-30 and John 19:4-5.

The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery Jesus Carrying The Cross
Embracing Your Sufferings Leads To Peace And Serenity
"Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened,
and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn
of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall
find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light".
-Matthew 11:28-30
Catholic Rosary Myteries
In Carrying the cross, Jesus shows how embracing suffering is the only way to peace. It is one of the most beneficial meditations on the rosary.
When you are praying the rosary prayers you will find a greater appreciation for this sad event in Jesus' life and come to understand how you must embrace your own crosses and sorrows.
When meditating upon Jesus Carrying the cross, it may be useful to look at a picture or listen to some meditative music of this sorrowful event.
Be mindful as you say the rosary prayers that the fruit of this mystery is patience and recall this scene as you meditate.
Jesus carrying the cross demonstrates the need to embrace suffering and carry your own cross as the only way to peace and serenity It is the fourth of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary prayers.
As you meditate on this mystery you should feel a true sorrow for the sins you have committed, for they too contributed to the emotional pain Jesus suffered.
After Jesus was mocked and crowned with thorns, He was stripped of the purple robe and dressed in His own clothing.
This caused such torment for the wounds from the scourging were reopened and pained Jesus anew.
Jesus was then forced to carry His own cross to Calvary.
The journey was excruciatingly painful.
Jesus already weak from the torture He underwent stumbled and faltered along the way.
He fell many times and the weight of the heavy cross came crashing down upon His weary body.
Mary accompanied by John and Mary Magdalen followed Jesus as He carried His cross. Mary wanted to look upon her Son.
The moment presented itself and there Mary was face to face with her Son, God made Man in all His suffering.
Simeon's prophecy rang true at this moment when her heart was pierced with sorrow as she beheld Jesus in such pain.
Seeing her brought much comfort to Jesus and gave Him renewed strength and courage to carry on with His mission.
So Jesus continued on as best He could. But He was so weak and His wounds were to immense that He could have expired on the way to Calvary. Seeing this, the executioners picked a man from the crowd, Simon of Cyrene, and forced Him to help Jesus for fear that Jesus would not make it to the place where He was to be crucified.
So Simon helped Jesus carry His cross.
Along the way there was a holy woman named Veronica. She was a follower of Jesus and as she waited to see Him.
As He approached her, she removed her veil and wiped His bloody face. Her gesture was so refreshing and loving that Jesus performed a miracle.
The image of His face was impressed upon her veil.
When Jesus finally completed His long and agonizing journey, the executioners threw Him to the ground and stripped Him once again of His clothing and prepared to crucify Him.
The Bible passages for Carrying The Cross were taken from the timeless Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible.
If you are looking for a more modern language version of the Carrying The Cross, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.
Most of what is recounted above about Carrying The Cross, can be found in various bible verses like Luke 23:27-32, Mark 15:20-21, and John 19:17.
Please hear our prayers, Dear Lord!

Carnival Conquest: 4 stops info and Carnival Perks and Non-Perks
Sail Date: August 02, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Balcony
We had a great cruise; good weather. We liked there were 2 days at sea right away. It really gave you a chance to unpack and fully relax before an island stop. St. Maarten:Mullet Beach was great. The shuttle van is just $2 per person; taxis were $9pp. Food/drinks at the local hut were reasonable as well ($5rum punch, $3 beers, $3 hotdog,$4 bergers). Antigua: Dickenson Beach ($3 taxi pp), 2chairs/umbrella $20; was nice. St. Thomas: Did a sail with Nightwind; only 15 people. Rick and Deb and the drinks/food were awesome! Nassau: Cabbage Beach ($4taxi pp) was crowded but if you walk way down to the right there was plenty of space. We like to use the casino on the ship as well. We noticed for the first time we actually acquired free drinks playing the table games! In the past, only the slots were able to acquire that benefit. Two things we didn't like that Carnival has changed: 1) They did away with their Past Passenger party in the show room with free drinks and snacks. They only gave us a coupon for a free drink after 5pm on the last night there. 2) We like to go to the trivia contests. Usually there's a winner after each one. This time, they collected points all week at all the trivia for a winner at the end. This wasn't fun because we might go to one while at sea, but I don't want to plan my days/vacation time around trivia! All-in-all a good trip! and the agents have been great to us!

I have some questions about it. My car has 145k miles on it. Can i just buy the camshafts or do i need valve springs/lifters. From what i've heard I shouldn't need anything but the cams if i go with the 262s. As far as performance im not to worried. I am worried about the car running like **** afterwards. Am i going to need to buy a tune for it or will it run fine without one? Thank you if you actually read this all.

Of the things we know for sure – the engine that powers the Baltimore Ravens is their Defense. The Purple Birds have been a top six team when it comes to NFL Total Defense in eight of the past nine seasons. The year they missed a top six ranking, Baltimore was still a very respectable tenth overall in the NFL. For the majority of the past decade, the Ravens have reminded us of the Chicago Bears in their Super Bowl Shuffle hay day, although still minus the coveted ring.
While teams that are built with a defense first mantra normally enjoy consistent on-field success, they don't normally offer up a very deep offensive fantasy player pool. We are of the opinion that the door is closing on the Super Bowl opportunity for several key Ravens and that 2012 may be a "Lombardi or Bust" type season in The Old Line State. That said, this team has the horses to make a competive run as we take an early look at the Baltimore Ravens' NFL 2012 fantasy prospects by position.
Ravens Quarterback Fantasy Options
Joe Flacco burst onto the NFL scene back in 2008 when he led the Ravens to the AFC Championship game. A solid on-field game manager, Flacco has been an enigma when it comes to fantasy value. While he improved his stats in each of his first three seasons – reaching a high of twelfth overall in 2010, he regressed somewhat in 2012. The Ravens power-run game plan, with Ray Rice and Ricky Williams , brought his ranking down to 17th in fantasy scoring last season.
Flacco is custom built for owners who like to own a pair of solid quarterbacks, and then play the match-ups on weekly basis. Weeks 3 and 4 last season were solid examples of that as Flacco racked up 34.2 fantasy points against the St. Louis Rams and then came back with 7.9 FP against the New York Jets. Flacco does however have some budding weapons at his disposal heading into the 2012 campaign. We wouldn't be surprised to see him end up on the lower side of the upper tier QB scoring list this season.
Ravens Running Back Fantasy Options
Depending on which scoring system your league employs, Ravens RB Ray Rice was the King of the Fantasy running back castle in 2011. Yours truly filled up on Rice last season and the feast was delicious. Whether the harvest will be as bountiful during the 2012 season is debatable and hinges on several key factors. First and foremost, Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome and Double R have been playing a cat and mouse game when it comes to contract negotiations. Rice is due a fat paycheck - while Ozzie's wallet seems to be stuck in his back pocket. At the time of writing, it looks like the Ravens will franchise tag Rice (he's a UFA) and then try to work out a deal prior to training camp opening on July 15th.
Players in the final year of a contract are normally prized possessions, as is evident by Rice racking up the top RB fantasy points in 2011 – the final year of his rookie deal. Guys that have a Loomis truck back up on their lawn, that drops a pile of money on them, can end up like CJ2K. The good thing about this red flag situation is that Fantasy Owners will know the state of Rice's contract well before Draft Day 2012. Personally, at this early point in the fantasy preseason, I am likely to load up on Rice (as a first round pick) when my selection comes up.
Ravens Wide Receiver Fantasy Options
Part of the reason why Flacco is stalled as a QB middler is due to the fact that his receiving options haven't always been of the stellar variety – more like the garden variety actually. Rookie WR Torrey Smith , who posted 126.1 FP, was the Ravens' top fantasy point scoring wide out in 2011. Of those points -- which left him ranked 24th overall in the NFL -- 55.7 of them came in two games. The rookie, who has blazing speed, averaged 5.4 points per game in his 16 other contests -- ouch! Smith needs to polish his pass route skills to match his sizzling speed, but he will get better moving forward.
Anquan Boldin was hailed as a savior when he signed his $28M four-year deal with the Ravens prior to the 2010 season. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, displayed back in his Arizona Cardinal days, the total numbers haven't transferred over to Baltimore. At 30 years old, and because of knee surgery, last year was Boldin's worst season since he played in just ten games back in 2004. Q did however make it back for the playoffs last season, and he posted 101 yards in the AFC Championship.
A healthy Boldin would bump up his own value, and that of Smith, who is entering his sophomore season. That said, both receivers should still be on the board when it comes time to make your WR tier three selection – one could surprise with his 2012 fantasy production.
Ravens Tight End Fantasy Options
Being as they employ a power-run offense, two tight end sets are very common in Baltimore. Ed Dickson (82.8 FP) and Dennis Pitta (58.5 FP) both showed signs of promise in 2011, but no one will ever mistake them for the Gronk & Hernandez show currently playing at a stadium near you. Pitta was particularly strong down the stretch as he posted double-digit numbers in two of his last three games – including 10.1 in the AFC Championship. That said, the TE by committee system used by the Purple Birds is a situation worth avoiding until the later rounds of your 2012 Draft.
Ravens Place Kicker Fantasy Options
Billy Cundiff , by virtue of his possible game tying chip shot miss against the Patriots in the 2011 NFL playoffs, will be under a cloud of doubt heading into 2012. Cundiff was 14-16 through the first five games last season, before finishing a brutal 18 of 26 to close out the season. Cundiff will be a serviceable, though not top end kicker, as Baltimore will be able to move the chains in 2012.
With lot of factors still pending, the Baltimore Ravens do indeed look like they're built for a 2012 NFL Championship run - and that the Purple Birds will also be Fantasy Championship relevant as well.

Founded by Kevin Lyman in 1995, Warped takes dozens of bands on a coast-to-coast tour each year. This year's edition kicked off in Dallas on June 24 and headed a few hours away to Houston the next day. Bands performing range from metalcore heroes August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada to ambient quartet Moving Mountains and pop-punk darlings Simple Plan and A Day to Remember. Each band gets about 30 minutes to play, with the shows spread over seven stages.

Definitely against USPS policy and protocal.

I would have scared the crap out of him. You should have just re-holstered and jumped and screamed at the door making him pee on himself...... That would have been awesome!!
Definitely against USPS policy and protocal.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I don't think it would have been a stretch to call 911 on the spot, and keep your weapon drawn. I don't consider it a neutral or stupid thing for any non-resident to try to open my door, it is malicious and extremely suspect, period. If I had eyes on the guy and knew he was in uniform, saw no weapon in plain sight, I still would have kept my gun drawn, it's no joke to have someone trying to pop your front door open.
That being said, I'm on a first name basis with our UPS guy, and the mail carrier rolls by the garage shop door with his headphones jamming so loud I can tell what bands he likes, with a smile and a wave. The UPS guy tried getting into my garage to deliver an expensive air conditioning unit a few weeks ago, which didn't upset me, but did upset my wife (detached garage). I agreed with her that the guy was misguided and shouldn't have attempted it, but I wasn't mad; he makes a good effort to hide packages from the view of the street for us. I'm very comfortably with these guys, and any time someone else happens to sub in, I keep an eye on them.
I agree with everyone else...something just doesn't add up with this particular mailman. Definitely contact USPS regarding this.
Sig Sauer P250
US Navy 84-93
Since he was a substitute mail carrier, he was probably already running behind and just trying to get the mail delivered and go home. My guess is that he thought he could get the locked screen open far enough to drop the mail in the floor and got caught in the act. It wasn't the smartest thing to do, but you don't find too many PhD's working as substitute mail carriers. If he was in uniform and driving a USPS truck, I would probably let it go but, I've substituted on other people's routes before and understand that frustration can get the better of common sense sometimes.
He was in uniform, had a truck and had my mail so I'm pretty sure he was legitimate but definitely not smart. I'm going to call the post office tomorrow and let them know what happened because the dog would have eaten him had he gotten the front door open.
To those who asked, the mail slot was on the door that I left open.
Walther PK380 - SIG Sauer P238 - Glock 19
How big is your dog? Could the mailman see the dog?
If its a little dog he's probably not afraid of it and possibly just trying to get the mail delivered and willing to risk upsetting the pooch.
My mailbox is on the side of my front porch so the mail carrier doesn't need to come to my door. But you can also see through my screen door and easily see and be greeted by my 100 lb + Doberman and 85 pound rottie mutt who intimidate the hell out of those who approach.
Not trying to get into a dog contest but if yours is a little one he may have not been afraid of it.
Or he could just be a dumb criminal opportunist.

Nope you're right you don't NEED to check facts, as admin you can do what you like. I'm an admin on a bigger and much busier board than this and it really doesn't take much of my time at all. Granted it is closer to the antithesis of this board in rules but the members regulate each other just fine. Everyone knows the rules and they push them to their limits regularly but rarely cross them.
One tip that I had to figure out myself is to keep people around you that you don't agree with. As much as I'd like to shut up those that I simply can not stand I find it keeps me in check to have an alternative view point around. How boring it would be if everyone was just like me.. (shudder the thought!)

Big Iron it is not us that dont get it! it is the greenies that will take the video and show it to some government official and say this is how the streams get silted in! the government official will not take the time to find out where the video was taken, they will just say we better close the trails down! It could be in Tennessee for all that matters all they are going to see is a rig in a mud hole getting stuck!
Do you understand that? It is not what the video shows it is where the video is shown!

Build your rig to fit the trails, don't change the trails to fit your rig!
Really.... in all actuality
just about ANY of the pictures or videos that are posted of anyone wheeling, participating in a work party or even doing a clean up can be taken out of context and used for closures.
Here's a prime example...
Now to anyone that hasn't read the write up that Ceg did for that work party - they wouldn't know that the huge tree in the picture was already down when the group came upon it during a work party and that the wheelers were actually clearing the tree from across the trail. So even wheelers just looking at the picture could ASSUME that these people are doing illegal acts.
Non-wheelers looking at that picture, they see three 4x4's with a chainsaw out in the woods...... they ASSUME that the people in the picture are out there illegally cutting down trees in the forest - doesn't matter when, where or why - or the fact that it is on a legal wheeling trail. It could even be on private property - it doesn't matter. All that matters is the story they make up to fit that picture to tell to someone else.
When in all reality the group working on that trail is probably one of the MOST ACTIVE clubs in Washington State in doing work parties and clean ups.
This is why you can't make assumptions and accusations. You can't base an opinion of a person or a group of people on a picture or video that you have no idea when, where, or why that picture or video was taken. Especially if you can't be 100% sure WHO is in the picture or video. Even if a video is posted on youtube and has a posting date of say - last week - you have no idea of when that video was actually taken unless the date is on the video itself - OR- if you were the one standing behind the camera. That video could have been taken two years ago in some area that isn't even Washington state. You also cannot base an opinion on a person or group of people by a bunch of rumors. Anyone remember the game telephone??? That's probably the best example ever of how a rumor travels. By the time it gets to you.... who knows what was really said.
These actions need to stop amongst our wheeling community. If you actually see someone doing something wrong on the trails system or camp area. Write down the information, take pictures or video - provide the date, time and precise location of the violation - DO NOT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW WITH ANYONE ELSE UNTIL YOU HAVE REPORTED THE VIOLATION TO THE LEO. Your information is going to differ from your buddies information who was standing there next to you watching the violation happen. You are going to see different details that may be important to the investigation. Sharing details muddies that waters so to speak. REPORT THE VIOLATION IMMEDIATELY IF POSSIBLE OR AS SOON AS YOU HAVE CELL SERVICE OR ARE IN A LOCATION WITH A PHONE. It takes a lot less time to fine someone if they are caught in the act. If you cannot report the violation immediately do it as soon as possible so they can get the investigation started. Remember the more information the better.
Now if you find a picture or video that is of questionable content, contact the person who posted it and simply ask NICELY if it could be removed and explain why. If they refuse to remove it - then report the picture or video to the site hosting it. If you can prove when and where the photo or video was taken and who is in it - by all means report them. But unfortunately a lot of the time you cant. If you know who is in it but don't have a time/date or location the most those people are going to get is a warning. If you don't have any information - try finding some - the internet is a wonderful thing.
I was able to track down a group we caught tearing up a meadow by posting up a picture. I found out the area they were from, their names, where they worked, where the trucks were kept, other vehicles they drove, girlfriends names and where they worked, every house address they ever lived in and phone numbers. By the time I was finished the only thing I was lacking - which was a very vital piece, was a license plate number. But I ended up getting that too. The whole time I was researching - so were the LEO's. Last I heard they were going to court.
In all honesty......
I don't like reporting people. I don't want to have to do it. But I do because I want to be able to wheel, and I want others to be able to wheel. This is my effort to help keep our trails open.
so it is OK for people to post up on you tube, videos of themselves romping around in a mud hole and leave it for everyone to see?

KoSa to offer new enhanced color intensity
January 29, 2001,
NEW YORK -KoSa, one of the major polyester fiber producers, last week introduced new specialty fibers that will offer new color intensity in solution-dyed filament and anti-microbial protection.
The name Emblazia, he explained, reflects the product's objective, "to emblazon or display brilliantly with bright colors."
The Emblazia fibers can also be combined with the firm's Extra Stretch Performance polyester (ESP), creating ESP Emblazia with high-stretch potential and excellent recovery. The combined fibers are available in 40 colors.
The third new product, Osman said, is the anti-microbial filament that incorporates an inorganic anti-microbial additive into the polymer in its molten state, which eliminates the yellowing that other additives produce. The anti-microbial fibers will inhibit the growth of microorganisms that often cause odor and staining.
KoSa also has created a new fabric library at its Shelby, NC, facility encompassing more than 3,000 fabrics that the company has developed. Each fabric is cataloged in a computerized database that can be searched by properties such as fiber type, denier and construction.

Stop-Motion Food Film Inspired by 1920s NYC Old-School Delis
PES, the filmmaker who created the Oscar-nominated short Fresh Guacamole, turned to Kickstarter for his next stop motion short
The stop motion artist known as PES, who was nominated in 2012 for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, has successfully completed a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund his third film in the food series, to be called Submarine Sandwich.
Submarine Sandwich follows on from 2008's Western Spaghetti, where he imaginatively made a plate of spaghetti with pick up stix pasta and bubble wrap boiling water. His 2012 Oscar-nominated film Fresh Guacamole went viral with 4 million views in 3 days. His films seem to be so successful because his imagination is endless. In these food series he makes 'dishes' out of unexpected and humorous ingredients – the avocado was a grenade, the baseball onion was diced into actual dice and the tortilla chips were – what else? – poker chips.
For the third installment, PES was inspired by 1920s delis, where subs originated, to create the ultimate sub sandwich out of unusually tough materials.
PES explains on his Kickstarter page:
I've always loved taking something mundane and transforming it into the unexpected through the animation process. It's pure magic. In Submarine Sandwich, I'm taking all the stuff I've collected — scarred boxing gloves, time-worn footballs, hockey gloves, and chunky baseball mitts — and slicing them up in order to build the tastiest sandwich ever… though it might be a bit hard to eat!
For the first time, PES turned to Kickstarter to fund the project. As he carries on with developing and acquiring the equipment needed for the film, he will be asking his backers for suggestions such as what should represent tomato slices – bicycle reflectors or air hockey pucks? The artist raised $48,922 in funds, almost $20,00 above his goal. All the funds will go to paying for other artists – model-makers and animators – as well as all the equipment needed.
Now that is has been successfully funded, Submarine Sandwich should be coming to a computer screen near you in November 2014.

Second final loss hurts for Houston
By Jahmal Corner
CARSON, California (Reuters) - The Houston Dynamo suffered a second straight MLS Cup final loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday - and it hurt.
The Dynamo's 3-1 defeat was not easy to digest after losing to the same opponents, 1-0, last year and after leading at half-time in a enthralling encounter.
"It's all tough. You fight so hard to get into this position. All year long you put all the effort you possibly can, all the hard work, you look back on (that)," said midfielder Brad Davis.
"I'm extremely proud of what this group of guys continues to do, this club continues to do, but without a doubt, it's difficult. It's very, very difficult," he said.
But coach Dominic Kinnear, whose salary budget for his entire squad is less than David Beckham's wage with the Galaxy, was proud of the positive approach his team took in a first half where they had the Galaxy defense in trouble.
"I'm very happy with how the team played and the effort everyone put in," Kinnear told reporters, having led his team to a fourth Cup final in the last seven seasons.
Unfortunately, for the Dynamo, it would have taken much more to overcome a Galaxy side determined to send Beckham off a winner in his final game in the league.
Houston finished in the middle of the Eastern Conference during the regular season before pulling together a strong playoff run. Continued...

|A Walking Guide to the Massif de la Chartreuse
Habert de la Dame and Le Forneau
|Starting point: les Varvats
|Difficulty: 2
|Ascent: 800 m
|Time: 6 hrs
|Quality: ***
This fine walk has several things going for it: it includes a fine section of ridge; much of it is well off the beaten track; and it allows an exploration of the area south of the col du Alpe. It's also a relatively gentle day. Although it is graded as Difficulty 2, this is only because of a short rocky descent with a slightly awkward move, and it really shouldn't put anyone off who is reasonably agile.
The starting point is les Varvats (1042 m, grid ref. UTM 31T 72587 50328) - a small group of houses elevated 250 metres above St. Même which has the advantage of a small parking area (if you get there earlier enough!). From here, the route follows the Tour de Chartreuse as far as the Habert de la Dame; ascends the pasture known as l'Alpette up to the eastern crête; and follows this north to just before the col de l'Alpe where it swings south-west to descend the Vallon de Pratcel back to the car (map).
From the car park follow the track trending south-east for half an hour to where it crosses a small stream, with a reservoir on the left. The track morphs into a steep bouldery path on the other side of the stream, and after a further ten minutes there is a junction with the left branch being signposted the Vallon de Pratcel. That is our return route, but we take the path to the right. This ascends easily and steadily through the forest above the Roche Blanche, with fine views down the Guiers Vif valley. After a further 40 minutes the path rises more steeply, crosses a fence, passes a couple of potholes to the left, and enters a pasture at a junction (1540 m). Turn right at the junction towards the cabin - the Habert de la Dame, which is reached an hour and half after leaving the car - a good place for second breakfast.
The next target is the ridge rising up behind the cabin. Follow the path, and turn left up the ridge, which is the home of some very contented cows. The ridge is easy going, with fine views across the l'Aulp de Seuil. It is adorned with a line of boundary stones finely decorated with the croix de Savoie and the fleur de lys. These date from the 1820s, and marked the frontier between the kingdoms of Savoy and France, which were only finally united in 1860.
The crête (1800 m) is reached some 40 minutes after leaving the cabin. We turn left. For the first section, there is no path and you will need to follow your nose and the occasional red blob, but there are no real problems. The route follows a superb line along the crête, with dwarf pines and fine views across to the Belledonne. After a bit there is a dip in the ridge with a gully going down to the left. Do not be tempted to follow the gully, but make your way round a small outcrop, and then descend back to the ridge below by means of a short Grade 2 scramble.
Some half an hour after reaching the crête, a path is met coming up the cliffs from the left - this is the Passage du Forneau. From here, the route is better waymarked, and more obvious underfoot. The path continues easily, although some care is sometimes required with the navigation, and rises up to a splendid little summit (point 1830 m on the map) with a grassy top and a trig point. Judging from the charred state of the trees, this area seems to be very vulnerable to lightening strikes. The next section of path is very beautiful, traversing a broad ridge with dwarf pines, and hidden glades.
The path then makes its way across a fence, and descends towards the head of the Vallon de Pratcel, where it meets the path coming up from les Varvats, close to a fine limestone obelisque. It is now a simple matter of following the path down the valley back to the car, which is reached after some 80 minutes.

Archos 5 Internet tablet rocks
Alison Krauss. Maybe you've heard of her? She has this great song, "New Favorite."
"New favorite: they all say it. I'll say it too. You've got a new favorite."
I've got a new favorite: the Archos 5 Internet tablet.
This is 500 gigs of rompin', stompin' dynamite, is what.
Android OS. Bluetooth. Wifi. Optional GPS. Web tv and radio.
I hate to fly and I want to fly somewhere just so I could use this on a plane.
It's not a tablet, in the way that I think of tablets. It's more like an iPod Touch on steroids. It will fit in one hand, and its touch screen means you can enter keystrokes with the other.
As a multimedia player, this thing is near perfect. The 4.8-inch touch screen has a resolution of 800 x 480. It's beautiful. Crystal clear, and the level of detail in movies is terrific, even with a screen protector.
I have 200 video files loaded and 260 GB of space still available. Haven't loaded any music, but that would only take about 30 gigs.
What I wanted at a minimum was a physically smaller device to use for video than my tablet PC, but not so small as the screen on an iPod.
Check. This is easier to carry than the tablet PC I have used or a netbook or laptop. All my videos, which are mostly .avi files, play perfectly (although it will not play videos recorded via XP Media Center).
I also wanted something that would have some of the apps I use often on my Droid..
Check. The tablet ships with Android 1.6. I've just downloaded a firmware update but haven't installed it yet. I saw some forum warnings about problems with an earlier upgrade, so I'll be checking on this one, too. Most of the apps I used on my phone work on this device, too. (Angry Birds does not work. Probably just as well.)
Though I don't travel often, I wanted something that would get me through a flight to either coast.
Check. Although battery life is not spectacular, I'd get probably two movies out of one charge if I wanted. The specs say up to seven hours of video and 22 hours of audio. Battery life is never as good as specs, and I haven't pushed this thing yet, but I've had no problems.
The wifi works, finding networks and connecting quickly.
Bluetooth gives great sound, although Bluetooth also is where I have the biggest gripe. When I watch a video with Bluetooth headphones, the audio is slightly out of sync. The same video with wired headphones works great. My Bluetooth headphones are pretty old, so that might explain it. (This also might vanish when I upgrade the OS.)
My personal favorite Celtic music station (liveireland.com) is already listed among the choices for the web radio that is pre-installed. But it has a ton more of them, so I'm enjoying exploring.
There's a GPS feature for a fee. My phone takes care of that, so I can't see paying for it, although it comes with a one-week free trial.
It's a little thing, but I appreciate that the kickstand is completely hidden when not in use, but gives the perfect viewing angle when it is.
The Archos uses the same charging/USB cable as my Droid, so that's one less cable I have to pack. And if I wanted to shell out another hundred bucks, I could get a dock that would charge it and use it with my television as a DVR.

Gartner Studios Announces Partnership with Lake Elmo Organization, Supporting Kids with Congenital Heart Defects
STILLWATER, MN – October 23, 2013 – Stillwater-based Gartner Studios has selected Lake Elmo-based Cakes From Grace as their primary local outreach partner, to honor the memory of a very special little girl.
Gracia Lorraine Hunt was born on August 2, 2012 with a severe Congenital Heart Defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Gracia (also known as Gracie) lived 82 wonderful days on this earth and will forever be loved and remembered.
Cakes From Grace Inc., a pending 501c3 organization, was established in Gracie's memory, to share her story, raise awareness about Congenital Heart Defects, reach out to those that have been effected by them, and to give hope for those who have lost a child. This special organization provides custom cakes for kids with Congenital Heart Defects, and also donates specialty cupcakes to fundraisers raising awareness about Congenital Heart Defects. The organization's vision is to reach out to every family with a child born with a Congenital Heart Defect, and put smiles on their faces with each cake they donate.
Gartner Studios will come alongside the organization to create awareness and support their ongoing work, including product donations from their Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios and Tylina Foods product lines, and using their extensive business network for outreach efforts. Future plans also include creating a showcase event benefiting the organization, that ties in Food Network "Ace of Cakes" star/food celebrity Duff Goldman and some of the Midwest's top cake and pastry chefs.
According to Gartner Studios CEO Greg Gartner, "We're very impressed with this outstanding organization and their mission, which touches families who have suffered this heartbreak. We're proud to be a part of celebrating Gracie's legacy, and look forward to supporting Cakes From Grace as they expand their outreach."
Cakes From Grace founder Becky Hunt commented, "I am so grateful for all the products that Gartner Studios is donating to us, and look forward to seeing the future benefits from their teamwork with Cakes From Grace. I can't thank Gartner Studios enough for helping us get the word out about what we are doing for these special kids, and sharing Gracie's story."
Active in their hometown community, Gartner Studios is a supporter of The Partnership Plan's Jeans & Jewels fundraiser on March 8, 2014, a gala fundraiser for the Fabrication Lab at Stillwater High School. The company also recently co-sponsored of the American Cancer Society's 100 Anniversary Legacy Ball, honoring Twin Cities food maven Sue Zelickson, and is proud to co-sponsor the 2013 Charlie Awards on November 17, saluting the best and brightest stars in the Twin Cities restaurant and foodie community.

In space, no one can hear your 1200w sound system (source)
No matter what your opinion of Joss Whedon might be, one cannot deny the impact Firefly has had on science-fiction fans and geek culture in general. After the premature cancelation of the series and a grassroots campaign to revive it (which ultimately culminated in Serenity), Firefly proved that fans can have an impact on the decisions of production companies... provided they purchase enough DVDs to make their voices heard.
With such a hardscrabble past behind Firefly, it's little wonder that it would lead to a host of creative fan projects. Captain Mal
cosplay crossplay and fanfic are expected, but a Firefly hip hop concept album by Adam WarRock... now that's something to take notice of!
I first heard Adam WarRock (the self-proclaimed foremost comic book rapper on the internet) through his contribution to Nerdcore Now Vol. 1., although he's been at the nerdcore/hip hop thing for awhile now. What makes his Firefly concept album (The Browncoats Mixtape) particularly impressive is that all of the beats and samples come from either Firefly episodes or clips from Serenity, so it will likely sound pleasingly familiar to fans of Captain Mal & Co. Also, it's 100% free on his website.
Although the nature of the album may alienate some fans, the novelty of an entire album of songs written about characters or events in the Firefly world should entice them to broaden their musical horizons slightly. Sure, The Browncoats Mixtape is a legit (and pretty good!) rap album, but it's also a legit (and pretty damn good!) Firefly rap album. Much like how Random's Black Materia album convinced many Final Fantasy fans to listen to hiphop for the first time with its songs about Cloud and Sephiroth, it's likely that Adam WarRock will be the first rap that most Firefly fans will actively seek out. In this sense, The Browncoats Mixtape is a great ambassador of nerdcore and hiphop in general since it's both good geeky music and good music in general.
So quit reading. download it and pretend that it's 2002 all over again!

every time i download I am getting missing css what is the solution?
Please only post one thread.
Assuming you have purchased a Wordpress theme NOT a HTML template then you are probably trying to install the entire download and not just the theme folder.
In your downloads page click download and select "main files" this will be the folder that you need to install and including the stylesheet
