In pride you cannont elbow to the head while on the ground, but you can knee, kick, and stomp to the head while on the ground.
I have definatly heard of / seen this too.
Well that is a large assumtion I would say.
You didn't specify an expert, you said "with any" training, and you said "easily."
Maybe this is all semantics, but I think there is a huge difference between saying "an expert BJJ practicioner...
I didn't say "anybody with any kickboxing will easily take somebody who does BJJ" But you said, anybody with any BJJ training will take a college wrestler easily, thats a bunch of BS.
See Quinton Jackson vs Ricardo Arona to see a wrestler with little to no jui-jitsu beating quite possibly the best pure grappler in the world right now with a pure muscle move.
I dont think he is really overtraining, I would say you can't do as many pushups anymore because you stopped doing them, and the total gym is not really gonna do much for you.
And though shes not really ill, theres a little yellow pill...
He had some fairly impressive fighting skills for a little kid from what I saw.
How would a trained person handle that? Block it? Or are their legs just conditioned enough to take a shot like that?
I've heard that even small hands can use this, but the best i can seem to do is get my forefinger on my thumbnail, any tips?
Well in all reality, he doesnt "have" to stand, he damn well should, but he does not have to.
Not particularly long, maybe a second or so.
Maybe throw dumbell bench or paused bench in either as your ME exercise every now and then or as assistance work. Plus sometimes it just isn't there, you will definatly get it in time though.
I would say your Squat : Deadlift ratio is just about right actually.
A) Yes, because every drug user shoots little children. He didn't do any of that, so why bring it up?
B) It was a hunting accident, it happens.
If you don't name names, the statement is empty.
They were knowingly breaking the rules. Regardless of how many people do it, when you break the rules and associate with other rulebreakers, you run the risk of getting caught. Thats how it works...

Informed Consent in Vaccination
The American Medical Association defines informed consent as "a process of communication between a patient and physician that results in the patient's authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention."1 The principle behind this process reflects respect for patient autonomy, and it is particularly relevant to the administration of vaccines. The Declaration of Helsinki, the highly-regarded international guidelines for research on human subjects, states that "considerations related to the well-being of human subjects should take precedence over the interests of science and society."2 While this statement was written with respect to biomedical research, it has been argued that a similar principle should be applied to vaccine policy. Some bioethicists, clinicians, and others argue that the decision to vaccinate should always be left to patients (or parents, in the case of children), despite years of evidence that mass immunization confers additional protection to the communities by reducing the spread of infectious disease--a phenomenon known as herd immunity. Regardless, the principle of informed consent requires that a patient (or his/her parents, in the case of children) understand the risks and potential benefits of a particular vaccine before receiving it.
Vaccine information sheets and signed consent forms
Because vaccination in the U.S. is viewed as routine, discussions between physicians and parents about immunization may be truncated, if not omitted entirely. While not a replacement for a meaningful dialogue between healthcare providers and parents, information statements produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are required to be made available to parents whose children are vaccinated. In addition to its ethical importance, consent has legal meaning as well, as parents are responsible for the medical decisions involving their minor children. More controversial is what role, if any, "assent"--the approval of the child, independent of the parent's--should play in the decision to administer vaccines.
While much of the discussion involving vaccine policy focuses on pediatric vaccination issues, an increasing number of vaccines are available and recommended to older individuals. In the case of influenza and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, recommended for elderly populations, it has been argued that a signed consent form--a common strategy for obtaining informed consent--does not necessarily confirm that the patient understand the risks and benefits of the vaccines.3 In fact, the requirement for signed consent forms for these vaccines may hinder efforts to immunize older and more susceptible populations, leading to unnecessary deaths from these increasingly preventable diseases, according to researchers.
HPV vaccine and consent
2006 marked the introduction of Gardasil, a vaccine against two strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) that are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases in the U.S. and worldwide.4 It also provides protection against two addition HPV strains that cause most cases of genital warts. Since the virus is spread sexually, the vaccine is most effective when given before sexual activity begins. Based on clinical trial results, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that Gardasil be given to girls between the ages of 11-26 years. The vaccine can be administered as early as 9 years of age, based on the judgment of the physician.5 In 2009, a competing HPV vaccine, Cervarix, was licensed in the United States. This vaccine was approved for protection against the same cancer-causing viruses as Gardasil (without the genital wart protection). Cervarix is recommended for the same population of adolescents and young women as Gardasil.6
The introduction of HPV vaccines in the United States has been contentious. Some observers have feared that it may be difficult to persuade parents to vaccinate their 11-year old daughters against a sexually transmitted disease. Critics have suggested that the vaccine may force parents to discuss sex at an earlier age than they might desire, or that by consenting to Gardasil, parents may be tacitly encouraging their daughters to engage in early sexual behavior. Evidence supporting such changes in risk behaviors following HPV vaccination has not been observed to date.
Despite these early concerns, studies have shown that less than a quarter of parents are likely to deny consent for their daughters' vaccination against HPV. Those who do often change their minds in favor of Gardasil when presented with more information about HPV and its association with to cervical cancer.7 Additionally, a recent study published in Vaccine found particular importance for the physician's recommendation in parental decision-making regarding HPV vaccination. Researchers found a four-fold increase in parental support for the vaccine after receiving a strong doctor recommendation compared to a weaker endorsement.8
Unique aspects of HPV vaccines raise additional ethical debates. For example, should a well-informed young woman (still a minor) be permitted to received the vaccine without her parents' consent, either unbeknownst to them or against their explicit wishes? The answer may depend, in part, on the age of the minor, as most agree that the views of a 17-year-old regarding medical decisions should receive more respect than those of an 11-year-old, for example. According to one study, parents who support teenagers' right to receive the HPV vaccine without parental consent do so to encourage responsible behavior, protect adolescents from ill-informed parents, and respect their confidentiality. Parents who support the requirement for parental consent cite the desire for adult responsibility in a child's health, fear of erosion of parental rights, and respect for cultural and moral values.9
Informed consent in research
Informed consent becomes particularly important in vaccine research. Many bioethicists agree that investigators should follow the ethical principle of the "practical imperative," which states that a people cannot be used simply as means, but rather that they should be treated as ends in and of themselves.10 There is consensus that all participants in a randomized vaccine clinical trial, as with any clinical research, must be fully aware of all possible risks in addition to any potential direct benefits of enrolling.
Several obstacles often hinder appropriate informed consent in research. Among them, consent forms can be complex and poorly designed, researchers may not spend enough time with participants, and research staff may not communicate in a culturally or linguistically appropriate manner.11

Two of my author friends are in the news this week. Good for them!
Claire Cook is publishing her next novel, Wallflower in Bloom in a few days. It arrives on June 5th in hardback and Kindle.
Jennifer Egan, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad is publishing a new short story via Twitter at 140 characters at a time.
Both women were kind enough to sit down with my Satellite Sister Liz and I a few years ago as part of our Word Write Festival. In anticipation of the publication of Helen of Pasadena, we recorded a series of interview with authors. It was an exciting time for me. Today, I had fun to listening back to the interviews as I anticipate the release of my own book. Jennifer Egan and Claire Cook are very different writers but with a similar quality: generosity of spirit. Full of advice, wisdom and humor.
I thought I'd re- post the interviews in case you missed them the first time around. You can find them either at iTunes or at Stitcher Radio. Enjoy!
Claire Cook
In honor of the release of Claire Cook's new novel Wallflower in Bloom ( June 5, 2012), I'm reposting an interview with this fun, funny writer/mom/sister/inspiration. My Satellite Sister Liz and I talk to Claire about her book Seven Year Itch, how she made the leap into writing and what's next on her agenda of re-einvention. Claire Cook's latest book Wallflower in Bloom will be released this week in hardback and Kindle.

Land of Legends
A part of the tour to Northern Venda can also be done as a day trip, starting at Madi a Thavha and driving back in the afternoon. We advise to make use of the services of a local tour guide, since many places are not that easy to find and a guide provides easy access to the artists' workshops and homesteads in the villages. A tour guide can be booked at Madi a Thavha Mountain lodge.
After going back to the N 1, the drive continues North, in the direction of Witvlag, through forestry, macademia orchards and tribal land. When heading in the direction of Sibasa, the road passes the Tshivhase and Mukumbani tea plantations, producing the Midi tea brand. This initiative provides work to two thousand people who live in the villages around the plantation.
Travellers can take a break at the Phipidi water falls and then continue the journey, passing Donald Fraser hospital, Khubvi, Woodcraft Tshandama and Mutale Art and Crafts Centre. Albert Munyai, a famous woodcarver and traditional healer stays close to the centre and it is worthwhile to visit him.
The road continues North in the direction of Thengwe and Moswodi. At the sign of Tshixwadza / Dalakhuredzi falls is a turn to the left to Mufulwi village, where the famous Venda potter and 'Proudly South Africa' master crafter Rebecca Matibe can be visited. She will be delighted to welcome visitors to her homestead and will demonstrate how she makes her pots. After this experience, follow the gravel road from Mufulwi to Tshixwadza and Siloam hospital. From the R 523 the drive returns to Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge.
Instead of driving back via Tshixwadza and Siloam hospital, from Rebecca Matibe in Mufulwi, follow the main road to the North in the direction of Muswodi and Folovhodwe. Here, the Tambani women can be visitied. They embroider traditional Venda stories on black and white fabric panels. From Folovhodwe, a gravel road continues to the R 525, passing Nwanedi Nature Reserve. From the R 525 travellers can take the N1 back to Louis Trichardt and Madi a Thavha Mountain Lodge.
From the R 525 the Ndelele Dam is accessible and from there it's possible to drive back to the N1. This road is only accessible for cars with a high wheel clearance.
Places of Interest
Vhutshilo Mountain School in Mandala village, day care centre for AIDS orphans
Nwanedi Nature reserve
The Royal homestead of Chief Tshivasa
Visit the tea factory at Mukumbani tea plantations (only during picking season)

At the homestead of Rebecca Matibe visitors can make a small clay pot, which is a nice activity for families with kids.
Distance: 250 kilometers
Tour guide: advisable
Level of adventure: moderate
Car: normal car, except visit to Ndelele dam, where a car with high wheel clearance is needed.

Spring Potato Pizza
True new potatoes are freshly dug and may be as small as marbles or as large as full-size potatoes. Since the sugars in new potatoes haven't converted to starch, they have a crispy texture and thin skin, which means they cook quickly. Keep an eye out for them in your produce section or at your local farmer's market from late spring through early summer.

Absolutely. I don't understand the mindset of Blizzard; they want this to be an 'e-sport', yet they continue to give a huge advantage to those who have been farming gear since the beginning of the expansion. Gear differentials of this magnitude are completely antithetical to competition. They make sense for PVE content, but none at all for PVP.

District Visitation
Mar 5th
In the Office of the President we are presently engaged in a series of visits to all of our 35 districts of the Synod. This is part of the work of visitation our Synod as a whole seeks to strengthen throughout our life together – see 2013 Synod Resolution 7-01A.
Visitation of the districts consists of several elements. The district visitation team (consisting of the President of the Synod or the First Vice President, plus the appropriate regional Vice President) meets with the district board of directors to hear what the Lord is doing in that district and to communicate how God is at work through our joint efforts in the national Synod. We talk about what we can do to support one another in the work God has given us. We also spend time with the district president to encourage him (from the Word of God) in his difficult work of visitation and ecclesiastical supervision. Depending on local circumstances in each district, we spend time with the district staff and/or circuit counselors/visitors and in some cases have conducted an open forum for anyone interested.
In all cases, our main purpose is to listen, to encourage from the Word of God, and to listen even more. We seek to foster evangelical visitation throughout our life together as a Synod, in the spirit of the apostles who said,
"Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are" (Acts 15:36).
As our Lord animates our witness and mercy, so visitation is part of our life together.
This visitation is not in the way of the law as though our primary purpose is to come and check on you to see where you are wrong. Instead, visitation is in the way of the Gospel, through which we strengthen one another in the Word of God, as Paul sought to do with the Church in Rome,
"I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you – that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine" (Romans 1:11-12).
It is in the way of Christ Himself, in whom God was visiting and redeeming His people (Luke 1:68; 7:16).
Christ is our life. We visit one another to share in that life together He gives in His Word. We visit one another to encourage one another in witness and mercy so that more will receive life in Jesus. We recognize much visitation already takes place, in districts and congregations, but we pray that it may grow and increase. As of this writing 3 districts have been visited. That means we have 32 more to visit this year and next! Pray for us. Pray for your district president. Pray for your pastors in their work of visitation with the Word of God.
Yours in the peace of Christ,
+ Herbert Mueller
First Vice President
Sinners Welcome?
Feb 27th
Are sinners really welcome in our churches? Well, of course! Lutherans know this instinctively. Our Divine Service almost always begins with a clear confession of sin followed by absolution. If we ask if some are better off than others, we know the Scriptures:
"None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks for God. All have turned aside, together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one" (Romans 3:10-12).
In other words, we know that when we say the creed, we can believe the "holy Christian Church" is "the communion of saints" only because of the next phrase in the creed: we believe in "the forgiveness of sins." So… there's only one kind of people: those who every day need the forgiveness of sins.
Is there any class of sinner excluded? Well, no. We take the Gospel everywhere we can. We go with Jesus into prisons, into hospitals, wherever there are broken people (since we are all at some point broken). We take the Gospel to the streets, wherever the Lord leads. Are we always good at doing so? If we're honest, no we're not. But theoretically, at least, we know that if any class of sinner were to be excluded, then we might someday also be excluded.
All sinners are welcome. That's why with our mercy work we care for people, all people in need. We cannot ask first – do you have faith? – before we extend care. We seek to help PEOPLE with the church's work of mercy. That's how some are drawn to Christ, because someone cared when they were hurt or broken.
What about becoming part of the church? A full professing member of the body of Christ? Are sinners welcome? Of course! Every member of the church is a member of the body of Christ for one reason. The Spirit of God is leading them to repentance and faith in Jesus. When Peter finished his sermon on Pentecost, his hearers were cut to the heart and were asking, "Men, brothers, what shall we do?" To that Peter responded,
"Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Himself" (Acts 2:37-39).
That's the way it's always been. That's the one way in. Repentance and faith in Jesus!
So we welcome sinners. But we do not welcome or condone sin. We cannot excuse sin, for if we do, we miss out on forgiveness. We can never minimize sin, for living in unrepented sin can separate us from God forever. The Scriptures say,
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
Our hope is only in Christ. So there are two sides to our answer. The church welcomes sinners – always! The church cannot welcome sin – not ever.
For if we minimize sin, or if we say that something God has called sin really is not sin, we are saying that Jesus is not really needed for that part of life. I don't need Jesus to be Lord there, but I can be in control of that aspect of life myself. Minimizing sin, we minimize Jesus, the Savior from sin.
Whoever we are, whatever we have done or not done, there is only one way to stand before God, and that is by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. Anything we put forward ourselves will be swept away as tainted by sin. Only in Jesus, God in our flesh, crucified and raised from the dead for us can we stand. Again, here's the Scripture in Romans 3:
"There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith" (3:22-25).
Propitiation means Jesus stood in our place, took our punishment, suffered our death. That's why it's all gift, all grace, and it's all for you. It covers every sin.
"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).
So yes, sinners are welcome! All of them! Even you. Even me. Every day through repentance and forgiveness in Jesus. It is just as Jesus said to a woman caught in sin,
"Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more" (John 8:11).
Every day, we live by God's grace alone in Jesus. Every day, the Word of God leads us to repent of sin. But even more, every day His grace abounds.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
Now go revel in that grace – it's for you!

A New Song to Sing
Jan 5th
A friend of mine, and long time brother in the ministry, Pastor Mark Willig, recently sent me a hymn he had written, asking my thoughts. I thought it quite good and a great confession of why Christ has come. With brother Mark's permission, we bring this new hymn to you here. Pastor Willig says you can use it, if you wish, so long as you do so with attribution, not changing anything, and including the copyright mark. Christ IS your Immanuel! Enjoy! Yours in Him, + Herbert Mueller
He's Your Immanuel!
(Sung to the tune Forest Green, the alternate tune for "O Little Town of Bethlehem" LSB # 362)
(Note: words and syllables underlined are sung to 2 or more beats.)
1. O sing to God a brand new song,
For now the world's redeemed.
For He has giv-en us His Son
And in that gift received,
Our hearts He calls from wan–der–ing
Away from His embrace.
And brings us to the man-ger light
That we might see His face.
2. The gentile kings from far a-way
Have heard the prophecies
And bringing gifts they wor-ship Him
Who brings our souls release.
In-to His courts the na-tions come,
Are welcomed by the Son,
That we might live through end-less days
With God the Three-in-One.
3. Into Je-ru-sa-lem Christ rode
As dark-ness gathered round.
In deepest ago-ny He prayed,
Sweat fall-ing to the ground.
A-rested, bea-ten, scourged and mocked
To Gol-go-tha He went,
And there to purchase souls from death
His ho-ly blood He spent.
4. The dawn-ing sun on the third day
Reveals the wreckage well
It's not His kingdom ly-ing ruin'd
But rath-er death and hell.
The tomb is bro-ken Je-sus lives
And we are sent to tell,
Oh, world, He's not for us a-lone
He's your Im-man-u-el!

How Do You Pray After a Tornado?
Dec 9th
November 17, 2013, St. John Lutheran Church, New Minden, Illinois (pastored ably and faithfully now for nearly 26 years by Rev. Timothy P. Mueller) was struck by a tornado for the third time in its history.
Several homes of members across the street were also destroyed. No congregation members were killed, but two people in the community, who had been visited by Pastor Mueller, lost their lives. Both Pastor and people are bringing God's comfort and peace to family members and to many others.
Some years ago, for the 150th Anniversary of St. John's in 1996, Pastor Timothy Mueller edited a history of the congregation, which of course included descriptions of the previous two tornados – May 27, 1896, the same day as "The Great St. Louis Cyclone," which killed hundreds, and again on June 7, 1907. When St. John's was hit for the third time in its history, we remembered a dedicatory prayer included in the history, a prayer written by the then pastor of St. John's, Rev. Emmanuel Koestering, for the occasion of the dedication of the renovated church on November 10, 1907. See especially how the prayer strikes a note of humble dependence on the grace of God, submitting to God's chastening, yet trusting His mercy in Christ and holding God to His promises:
O Lord God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, unsearchable in the unity of Your essence and the trinity of Your persons, and at the same time incomprehensible in the judgments and ways in which You deal with Your children on earth! In deepest humility and veneration we appear for the first time in our renovated house of God before Your holy face. You have permitted us to experience Your judgments out of Your mighty hand. Twice You have spoken to us by means of storm and weather. Twice You have placed members of this congregation suddenly in the dust of death and have left behind deeply wounded and bleeding hearts. Twice You have allowed this Congregation to weep upon the ruins of their church. Deeply You have humbled us before our brethren in the faith and before the mocking world, as if we were great sinners more than others and not Your dear and precious children on whom You bestow Your hearty and good pleasure for the sake of Your dear Son, in whom we believe and who is the joy and comfort of our hearts at all times. But, dear heavenly Father, although we humbly confess to be great sinners before You who have deserved all Your temporal and eternal punishments, yet Your faithful Word stands before us as a brightly shining sun: "Whom I love, him I chasten" (Hebrews 12:6). And we believe firmly without any doubts, that You have visited us, not in Your wrath but in Your fatherly love and grace and through Your faithful sufferer Job You do call to us: "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He builds up; He wounds but His hands make whole. He shall deliver you in six troubles, yes, in seven no evil shall touch you" (Job 5:17-19). And You have permitted us to experience the truth of this word now. Yes, You have not only struck and wounded us, but Your faithful and merciful hand as Savior has again raised us up, healed us, and filled our hearts with peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. We have been able to kiss Your chastening hand because we recognize and believe, as You have convinced us, that Your eternal grace and mercy lead us through the sorrow of death to heavenly joy, and from deep outrage to the heavenly crown of glory. See, dear Father, for that reason we appear before You today with joyous praise and thanks to Your divine name in our newly given House of God and confess from the bottom of our heart: This is the Day the Lord has made for us. "O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good" (Psalm 136:1). You have done great things for us. We rejoice in it. O Lord, help! O Lord, let it turn out well for us! But we ask now, Lord God, Father, You, the Lord of our life, abide with us; it is almost nighttime, the day of this world is declining, its end is coming near. The Judge is at the door. O abide with us with Your grace, with Your Spirit, with Your comfort! Protect this precious house of God and retain in it Your pure Word for us. May Your Word ever be our heart's rejoicing and comfort! May we, like the wise bridesmaids, watch and pray with patience and good works, seek after eternal life, and be clothed with the garments of the righteousness of Your dear Son Jesus Christ, that when our hour comes or You appear in the clouds of heaven for the final judgment, we be found worthy to stand at Your right in the shining forth of Your eternal glory and may hear the most blessed greeting: "Come unto Me, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for You. O pious and faithful servants and maids, come, enter upon the eternal joy of Your Lord!" (see Matthew 25:34). Amen, may it be true for us all. Hallelujah! Amen. Amen (from a 1921 History of St. John Lutheran Church, New Minden, Illinois, quoted in Our God, Our Help in Ages Past: 150 Years of Documents, Pictures and Other Tokens of God's Blessings upon St. John's Lutheran Congregation, New Minden, Illinois, edited by Pastor Timothy P. Mueller, published by St. John's, New Minden, Illinois, 1996).

More Reflections on Christ the King

More Reflections on Christ the King
[Shared as a devotion with the LCMS Board of Directors, November 22, 1963.]
Where were you 50 years ago this past weekend? Do you remember? Anyone old enough will remember the assassination of President John Kennedy November 22, 1963. Personally, being in 5th grade at the time, I remember coming in from recess to see all the girls in my class crying and the boys in stunned silence.
It was one of the shared experiences of our generation. It marked for many the death of the care-free 50s and the beginning spasm of the 60s. It was when many my age first realized the world is broken. Two other people died that same day, November 22, 1963, as well: C.S. Lewis, beloved Christian writer and Aldus Huxley, author of Brave New World. These two could not have had more different explanations of the world's brokenness: Lewis, whose writings explained the Christian faith for many, and Huxley, who rejected God because God got in the way of what he wanted to do.
If you were God, how would you go about redeeming a broken world? How would you respond to a world of sinners? Who want to go their own way even if it leads to death? How would you save people from a culture that often sees death as a solution, even celebrates it?
If God can do anything He wants, why doesn't He just, with a wave of the hand, put an end to all the evil in the world? All the sin and death with a snap of the finger? But if we are honest with ourselves, we also have to admit that, if He did, that would also put an end to me, to you.
Yes, God can do anything. "He does all that He pleases" the Psalm says (115:3). But one thing God will not do is go against His nature, His own person. God is just and cannot abide sin. God is love, pure love, and hates nothing He has made. And the mystery of both, God's justice and God's love, come together and are revealed in Christ, on His cross.
For Christ is King, from the cross. Read Luke chapter 23 to see it in full, in what He says and what He does. They nail Him up, but He says, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).
Of course, in their not knowing, they mock Him. Pontius Pilate, in his not knowing, ridicules Him and mocks the whole Jewish nation he has been sent to rule, with his inscription, "This Is the King of the Jews!" (Luke 23:38). The people and the soldiers do the same: "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" (Luke 23:37).
But amazingly, one of the criminals was led to see through the mocking all the way to the truth, to catch a glimpse of the real nature of Jesus' kingdom, "Jesus, remember me when you come into Your kingdom," your rule (Luke 23:42).
Here is the true King, the one in whom "all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell" (Colossians 1:19). Here is where Jesus rules, from the cross. Here is the mystery of God's love revealed, and God's justice satisfied, here in Christ the King, on the cross.
Here is God's true response to the evil of sin, to the brokenness of suffering and death. He comes! He comes into our flesh. He comes to take it all into Himself, for us.
No, this is not some sort of divine child abuse, as some would have it, but this is the deepest love of all, as the beloved Lenten hymn, "O Dearest Jesus" will show it:
What punishment so strange is suffered yonder
The Shepherd dies for sheep who loved to wander,
The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him,
Who would not know Him.
The sinless Son of God must die in sadness,
The sinful child of man may live in gladness,
Man forfeited his life, and is acquitted,
God is committed. (LSB 439, st. 4-5)
So here is our King. King Jesus from the cross, who has reconciled to Himself all things – even me, even you! – making peace by the blood of His cross (Colossians 1:20). For when we, like the thief on the cross next to Jesus, recognize our desperate need for Him, we also say, "Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom," your rule. And He promises, "Today you will be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43).
Today, you are mine, and I forgive you, He says. I have suffered your suffering and died your death. I will heal your brokenness, for I am the "first born from the dead" (Colossians 1:18), for you. I have you now. You are with Me, He says, and I am your King.

Blog Post: Silly Marketer, Title Tags Are for Robots! - Whiteboard Friday
Although I could certainly add those tags (Facebook Open Graph and Twitter Cards) to my post, I don't think it is a good idea to do it. Why not? Many reasons:
First and foremost, because those meta tags are not part of the HTML standard.
Next, because placing them will just make my code larger unnecessarily.
Next, because placing just the mark up for two social networks would be unfair for the rest. What happens if every social network out there starts offering their own mark up? e.g. Pinterest, Diaspora, LinkedIn, Xing, Tumblr, MySpace... Would you place dozens of meta instructions on your site, so that you will provide predefined content for every single social media service out there? Let's say there are 18 social websites in the future, each with three meta tags to implement. Would you really add (18x3=54) 54 lines of code to each of the posts on your website? Call me lazy if you want, but I wouldn't.
Next, because I doubt Facebook will be with us much longer. I don't have a crystal ball and I don't do fortune telling, but in my humble opinion, privacy concerns will kill it among users as fast as reach restrictions will kill it among marketers. I think it is already happening.
Next, because if you don't give people any predefined text or picture to share, their sharing will actually be more *varied* and *natural*; preventing many Penguin-related issues in the process. Isn't this what every SEO want from his or her links?
Lastly, because adding all that will require more time from the programmer side, and most companies have to pay a wage for those hours. Is all the benefit we get in exchange just a few clicks from <sarcasm> "very engaging" </sarcasm> Facebook or Twitter posts? Believe me: my manager will just say no. She wants sales.
People will share your posts online even if you don't give them a button or link to do it.
Keep your sites simple. Things work better that way.

Orange County Disability Appeals Law Firm
If you have been denied benefits for SSI or SSDI, there is a series of actions you can take in pursuit of a favorable decision.
The California & National Social Security appeal attorneys at the law firm of Bohm Kalish, APC have experience representing clients in appeals at all levels of the system. We are steadfast in our commitment to helping you obtain the benefits you are entitled to, and we are prepared to take your case to federal court if necessary.
The Social Security Appeals Process
Requesting a reconsideration: The first step after your application has been denied is to request a reconsideration. These requests must be filed within 60 days of the date of your initial denial. There will be a second review by a person who was not involved in the first review. He or she will look at all of the original application information as well as any new information you provide.
Administrative law judge (ALJ) hearing: If you are not satisfied with the result of the reconsideration, you have 60 days to request a hearing. ALJ hearings are conducted by judges who were not involved in either of the first two decisions in your case. A significant number of people are successful at the ALJ hearing. If you are successful, you will be entitled to retroactive benefits.
Appeals Council: If you do not receive a favorable outcome at the ALJ hearing, you may request a review by the Appeals Council. The Appeals can take one of several actions, including confirm or reverse the ALJ's decision, refer the case back to the ALJ for further review or refuse to review your case.
Federal Court: If the Appeals Council review does not produce satisfactory results, you may take the case to federal court. Our lawyers are admitted to practice in federal court and have a complete understanding of federal court process. Though extremely rare, these cases can be escalated to the Supreme Court.

I know I just said that Nikki Finke was a cat breastfeeder and that was aggressive and I should probably just call it a night, but I just saw on Facebook that this dude I loved for like, six months in college (from afar, kind of, except we made out in his top bunk bed once) got married and I'm like, devastated.
His mom came for parents weekend and she was like, "Who is that pretty girl, [Redacted]?" and you have to know that no one related to a dude who could have possibly ever liked me or dated me called me pretty until college. That was, for me, the benefit of college. Like, discovering that people outside of my hometown might think I have some sort of worth and would maybe even be desirable to another human.
Anyway, this bro was Midwestern and had big blue eyes and dope values except for the fact that he didn't totally love me and I remember him texting me over winter break freshman year to say, "My mom keeps pulling a photo she took of you on parents weekend out of her purse and telling everyone in my family how nice and pretty she thinks you are."
I think I drunk dialed his mom once, I really think I did do that and that we had a really pleasant conversation. I might have been closer to being with her than I ever was with him.
But I saw he got married and it really bummed me out because even though I know I probably live a way cooler life than he ever will or ever thought I would, I just think it's really unfair that some people are allowed to breathe without you. That's maybe the greatest tragedy in life, beside like, unexpected deaths. I know the answer to this because there are many people out there who are my someones that I've chosen to live without, but seriously… How can someone live without you? How can someone get married without you?
I know the answer, I know. I know what the deal is and even that, statistically, their relationship will end and that the more successful of the two of them will wind up paying for the other for the rest of their lives long after they are no longer legally or spiritually bound to one another, but it's hurtful.

Well, for start bear are just cool looking animals to begin with. They are big, ferocious and dangerous. That gives them super cool status in animal kingdom. Their diet consist of plants animals and whatever they can find. This is good survival trait, that they can survive even harshest conditions. That being said ,harshest conditions as North Pole and Arctic is the home of bear species called Arctic bear. They literally live on and swim in icy cold water, where they hunt fish and other cold freezing things. Other species of bear live all across the globe ,all except continent of Africa.Best Bear T-shirts around Most famous species are off-course Panda, Grizzly ,Black Bear and so on…
Grizzly bears are biggest, and among animal kingdom one of the scariest of animals on the planet Earth. They live pretty much on North American continent, eat fish , and salmon and just are awesome in spare time.
Pandas are most peaceful and endangered amongst bears, they just wont mate even when their species depends on it. Chinese government is funding science research of cloning them. So far they had success. But its far from great results. They've became almost extinct species,Cool bears and other mammals shirts and penalty for killing one is death sentence. Panda is known to be cutest of animals, and here we have most ferocious and scary , to cutest and peaceful.
Its truly amazing. Bears among other things have this thing called hibernation, where they sleep thought winter. They don't wake up for several months ,and their body totally adjust to that state, where they even don't waste toxins and waste materials of their body.
Upon waking up its a hunt for food, since their fat level dropped significantly . Before hibernation began, they eat a lot and gain mass to sustain their winter nap time. While their hibernation mothers don't even wake up to give birth, pups just pop out and feed off their mothers milk. Generally small bears are with their protective mother couple of years.
A lot of people have respect for bear as a species and find them really awesome. Those people tend to own t-shirts to promote their love, and good bear vibes. T-shirts are mostly funny ,and with cute pictures. Click here for more bears.

MADISON (WRN) - Like a bill passed in the Assembly last month, the Senate version makes 4th offense OWI a felony, expands treatment programs, and requires ignition interlocks for repeat offenders. It also makes first time OWI a felony if children are in the vehicle. Unlike the Assembly version, this bill raises fees on a number of offenses to cover the cost of increased OWI enforcement. It's unclear whether the Assembly will concur with this version.

Clinical Manager discusses Trafficking on KKSF
Listen here: Sarah on KKSF
Executive Director Recognized by the City for Her Work
Rev. Glenda Hope, Founder of SafeHouse for Women Escaping Prostitution, was honored as a Woman of Character, Courage and Commitment in a "Women Making History" ceremony March 4th sponsored by SF's Mayor, Board of Supervisors and Commission on the Status of
This ceremony brought together influential women from all over the city and shone a light on the incredible work women are doing for other women. Reverend Hope was there to recieve her award from Supervisor John Avalos for her work with Network Ministries as well as SafeHouse.
Welcome to SafeHouse

Rev. Glenda Hope, known as saint of Tenderloin, retiring
The San Francisco Chronicle spotlights our founder, Reverend Glenda Hope, and her lifelong work in the Tenderloin.
The Rev. Glenda Hope was taking her typically sunny walk through the Tenderloin's typically noisy streets the other day, and every block the 77-year-old minister passed held a homeless or poor person she knew. They all got a cheery wave or word. Then she got to the corner of Turk and Larkin streets.
A bedraggled woman named Maria sat in a wheelchair, her left foot heavily bandaged. "Hey, reverend," she said. Hope leaned close, eyes wrinkled with concern.
"My foot hurts so bad, I'm having such a hard time," Maria said.
"Yes dear," Hope replied, touching Maria's shoulder. They chatted a moment, and Hope offered, "Can I pray for you?"
Maria nodded. Their heads came close, and Hope murmured softly. Then, with an "Amen," she was off again.
"She's such a lovely person," Maria whispered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to many of the general questions we receive. Additional questions of a more technical nature are answered in the wiki FAQ article.
What versions of Windows are supported?
The C4 Engine runs under Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Does the C4 Engine work on the Mac?
Yes, the C4 Engine runs on the Mac, and Mac support is included at no additional cost. Mac OS X 10.7 or later is required.
Does the C4 Engine work on Linux?
Yes, the C4 Engine also runs on Linux, and it's included at no additional cost.
What are the minimum graphics hardware requirements of the C4 Engine?
The C4 Engine runs on graphics processors from Nvidia and AMD that meet certain functionality requirements. For Nvidia hardware, a GeForce 8x00 or higher is required. For AMD hardware, a Radeon HD 2600 or higher is required. Note that these graphics cards are quite old, and newer cards will provide a much better experience.
Does the C4 Engine run on Intel GPUs?
Yes, the C4 Engine runs on Ivy Bridge and later GPUs from Intel. It's important that the latest drivers be installed first.
How many polygons can the C4 Engine render per frame?
There are no internal limits to the size of a scene, but the number of polygons rendered is rarely a limiting factor when it comes to an engine's performance. Many factors influence the rendering speed, and these include the complexity of the materials used, the number of shadows drawn and their types, whether various kinds of special effects are enabled, and how heavy the load on the physics simulation is. There aren't any specific numerical limits for any of these that can be stated. As with any engine, speed will generally be determined by how well levels are designed.
What do I need to build the C4 Engine source on Windows?
The C4 Engine ships with project files for Visual Studio 2012. The Express Edition of Visual Studio can be obtained for free from Microsoft.
What do I need to build the C4 Engine source on the Mac?
The C4 Engine ships with project files Xcode 4, which can be obtained for free from Apple.
What do I need to build the C4 Engine source on Linux?
The C4 Engine ships generic makefiles that can be used to build the engine from the command line.
Is there an evaluation version of the C4 Engine?
Yes, the standard evaluation package is included with the demo available on our download page. It includes all of the tools that ship with C4.
Do I need the Professional Edition?
You only need a Professional Edition license if you have received at least $100,000 in funding from an external source such as a publisher or Kickstarter campaign.
Can I upgrade the edition that I'm using for the difference in price?
Yes, you can start with the Standard Edition (or Subscription Edition) and later upgrade to the Professional Edition for the difference in cost. Your account page will have a link where you can upgrade.
Does everyone on my team need a license?
Yes, each person on your team needs to be a licensed user of C4 regardless of their job function. Artists, level designers, etc., who don't need access to the source code still need to have a license (or be assigned to a multi-user license).
If I have a multi-user license for the Standard Edition, can I just upgrade one user to the Professional Edition?
No, all users under the same license must be using the same edition of the engine.
For how long do I get updates after licensing the C4 Engine?
The Standard Edition and Professional Edition of the C4 Engine include all future updates, forever, at no additional cost. The Subscription Edition includes updates for one year, but you can still use the latest version that you have forever.
Is there a student version of the C4 Engine?

There is NFP which is more reliable if done correctly and does not have the health risks that artificial birth control has. The Pill is classified as carcinogen by the WHO.

Online accounting relates to accounting web servers. It usually implies use of a web application based on a simple monthly charge and zero-administration approach to help businesses concentrate on core activities and avoid the hidden costs associated with traditional accounting software such as installation, upgrades, exchanging data files, backup and disaster recovery.
November 7, 2012 at 9:59 am
Are these monthly webinars new, or have I just not noticed they were available before?
November 15, 2012 at 7:48 am
Are these available for CPE credit?
Thanks, Ann F

Great question! This idea was brought to my attention a few weeks ago, and I'm going to look into whether that's possible. Right now, they are not.

It is in reality a nice and useful piece of information. Please stay us informed like this.

Friday evening at the base of Squaw Peak, cars jockey for parking places right at the trail head so their owners won't have far to walk to their hikes. A white Toyota idles in the heat, waiting for a Volvo to back up, and as soon as it does, from out of nowhere, a Jeep Wrangler swings around the Toyota and screeches into the vacated space. Behind the wheel is a neomacho yupster in a baseball cap and muscle tee shirt. He's leering smugly beneath his Ray Bans as he gets out of his vehicle, and, oblivious to the disapproving comments of witnesses to the theft, struts across the parking lot and up the trail as if he hears voices in his head telling him: "Climb Squaw Peak, son. Don't let anything get in your way."
Under the shade of the ramada, a young woman in bicycle shorts and a tube top holds court. "We're all lemmings! I've never seen so many rude people," she rants, as her two male companions stare down at their Hi-Tec hiking boots. "You call this hiking? You call this the great outdoors?" Well, not exactly. It's great and it's outdoors, but "hiking" suggests solitude and nature, and there's nothing natural about slogging uphill with 500 of your closest friends. Squaw Peak is the most-hiked trail in the United States, trod by as many as 2,000 sets of feet per day, 10,000 per week, 520,000 per year. On a weekend in spring, it resembles old photographs of Chilkoot Pass during the Klondike Gold Rush, a continuous shuffling line of be-Reeboked soles from top to bottom. Even on 110-degree days, the trail-head parking lot is full and so are the overflow lots up and down the park. There are so many hikers, day after day after day, that the trail has been sliding downhill as much as five feet a year in some places and has been worn so wide that it can be clearly seen from downtown. Despite the current and much-debated repairs, the trail up the mountain may someday be a valley bisecting it.
Who are these people? There are a few confused outdoorsmen and women who still think it's 1957 and they're in virgin desert, odd pairs of street-shod grandparents on vacation and judgmentally impaired individuals who venture off the trail and have to be hauled out with ropes and helicopters by the fire department. The overwhelming majority are health-club escapees: shirtless bachelor accountants, 40-year-old real estate agents hopelessly trying to run off their middle-aged middles and babes in full makeup reenacting Nike print ads by leaning sweatily against sunny rock faces to suck on water bottles. Gotta climb, gotta be seen, and damn the heat.
Up on the summit, they obsess about personal bests--28 minutes, I'm training for the Boston Marathon, you know." They talk about personal goals--I've got a bowling ball in my backpack because I'm preparing for the Grand Canyon." They reveal personal intelligence deficits--I was up here once in a thunderstorm and there was so much electricity in the air that my hair stood straight up." Women on the trail carry on loudly about how they don't understand their boyfriends; their boyfriends mostly ponder whether Squaw Peak is a harder climb than Camelback Mountain. Somehow the two thoughts seem related.
Actually there's not much difference in difficulty between the trails. Camelback has 56 more feet of vertical drop from summit to trail head, but Squaw Peak's trail is two-tenths of a mile longer. Ultimately it's a question of style.
Camelback is elite, the place the sophisticated entry-level businessman takes his best girl to impress her with his physique and neon attire. Couples march up narrow canyons, stern-faced, with great ritual and little apparent enjoyment--but they look great.
Squaw Peak, on the other hand, is for trolling, for loose jaunts, for the likelihood that even if you start off hiking alone, chances are by the time you're coming back down, you will have made a friend or two, provided you haven't been knocked off the mountain by a runner.
Squaw Peak is Phoenix's answer to Los Angeles' Venice Beach, without the skateboards, fire eaters, rollerbladers and mimes--so far, at least.
@body:Every hiker seems to have a mental snapshot of the trail taken on his or her first hike, whether it was three months or 30 years ago, and has enough proprietary feeling about the mountain to tell everyone else what to do.
The trespasser who leaves the trail to take a shortcut is likely to get an earful from his or her peers. "For a trail that has upwards of 10,000 hikers a week, there are very few infractions," says Jeff Spellman, a park ranger. "You'd expect to find beer bottles and stuff, but even if I see a Kleenex by the side of the trail, by the time I come down, someone will have picked it up." Though the regulars point fingers at people who violate the rules, what's really happening on Squaw Peak is that the very people who hike it most frequently are pounding it into dust as they are loving it to death. Late in 1989, the City of Phoenix hired SWCA, an environmental consulting firm, to ponder needed repairs to an urban trail in a natural setting, and SWCA sent a consultant named Ron Borkan, who brought along Ken Kehoe. They made their report, wrote up a master plan and the city took it from there.
