The Avengers Influence
Wednesday, May 9th, 2012So, there was once this little movie that was released called "The Avengers".
Everyone and their grandmother's aunt saw it.
It crushed opening box office weekend numbers.
It created a comic book tale that was perfectly told on the big screen.
And it was awesome.
It held a well-crafted story.
It touched on all the right character moments.
It established a world in where superheroes of all kinds (not just the ones one-step removed from our reality like Batman and Iron Man) could exist.
I mean, seriously. A few years ago people would have laughed at the thought of Thor being a superhero. Now, though, everyone sees him and accepts him the way any normal comic book fan does.
So, just like Superman and Batman, The Avengers now hold a place in the common knowledge of people all over the world. Which I find astounding, seeing as how when I was a kid, growing up, if I tried to be Iron Man my friends would not let me play with them because they didn't know who Iron Man was or what his powers were or if I was lying about what he could do.
Look, all I'm saying is, Iron Man can beat up Batman.
But that's beside the point of what today's Comic Matters is about.
Today, we're going to do a bit of Compare and Contrast. Mostly Compare. Really all Compare.
Actually, we're going to look at some of the best moments from The Avengers movie and try to find where the inspiration for those scenes came from in comic book form.
So, where to begin:
If you so happened to like….
- The Chitauri war on New York City…
- Black Widow and Hawkeye tearing it up on their attackers…
- Easily defined personalities of the Avengers
Then you'll love "The Ultimates: Ultimate Collection"
Now, I've already written about this series at full length here, but I believe that this series alone could be the single biggest influence on The Avengers movie. While they most certainly took much of their inspiration from other stories over the 40+ years The Avengers have been around, this modern retelling is just pouring out of the surface of the fi;m.
Within this modern tale of how a government sanctioned team (labeled "The Ultimates" instead of "The Avengers"), we are presented with what a real world
super team might look like. Black Widow and Hawkeye are part of the black ops squad; the Chitauri come to Earth to conquer and kill; and the characters personalities make it easy for anyone to pick up the book and get in to it.
The series also poses a lot of questions for us to think about.
How would a team like The Avengers be involved in foreign affairs?
How would the world react to Thor being on the planet?
This series, even though it was published ten years ago, was ahead of its time. It made readers think twice about their superheroes, just like the movie did.
Next up:
If you so happened to like…
- Thor fighting The Hulk
Then you'll love Hulk Vol. 1: Red Hulk
Yeah, okay, this series written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ed Mcguinnes focuses on a Red Hulk that's running around, but it still features some awesome Hulk smashing action.
As a new character, it's good to establish them in a universe if they have no previous interactions. So, what better way to introduce a new Hulk than to have him punch and smash his way through the Marvel Universe's best fighters? From Iron Man all the way over to Thor.
So, the movie was a Marvel fanboy's dream, as it not only showed Thor and Hulk on the big screen for the first time together, BUT, it showed them having a smackdown, drag out brawl worthy of the movie's best fights. This entire series is just like that, as it's a big bombastic spectacle worthy of any title called Hulk. This was one of the most fun I've ever had reading a comic book.
If that seemed to tickle your fancy from the movie, check this book out.
If you so happened to like…
- Thor fighting Iron Man
Then you'll love Thor, Vol. 1
This series was responsible for reintroducing Thor back into the Marvel Universe comics, so it wasn't a standalone series, but the ongoing Thor comic book. After supposedly dying (which many comic book characters tend to do), it was apparent that he missed a lot of events when he returned.
The biggest one was a Civil War among the superheroes and the battle between Captain America and Iron Man, with Iron Man coming out on top.
As such, Iron Man was in charge of everyone and everything. And Thor was not a fan.
Author J. Michael Stracynski and artist Olivier Coipel created a poetic, almost "Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones" type-Thor, where the stories and adventures were mythical in scale. So this series, as a whole, is also a great way to introduce readers and fans to Thor if they liked him in the movie, it also features the definitive Thor vs. Iron Man throwdown.
And it, like the movie battle, is awesome.
If you so happened to like…
- The hilariously perfect team dynamic
Then you'll love Any Brian Michael Bendis Avengers Story But You Should Start With New Avengers Vol. 1,
Break Out
There's a good reason I've talked about author Brian Michael Bendis more than once.
He's the master of realistic and quick paced dialogue.
In the movie, new people were introduced to the wonderful interactions that can come from superheroes meeting each other.
And that is what has brought fans to the Avengers for years and years.
It's a formula so simple and easy that it's amazing that people making superhero movies and television shows didn't go for it sooner.
The Avengers have always been about bringing together the world's most powerful heroes and having them fight threats that no single one of them to handle. To date, author Brian Michael Bendis has written more Avengers comics than anyone else. You will definitely be able to feel his influence on the film once you read this collection.
The superhuman prison known as The Raft has just had a jailbreak, and a new team of Avengers must join together to stop the supervillains trying to escape. Featuring some immense action, as well as that hilarious dialogue that Bendis is known for, a new team of Avengers is formed that night.
They're The Avengers.
And after this past weekend, I don't believe that anyone won't remember who they are.

I was recently given a 'French Rolling Pin' as a gift. To me, it just looks like a fancy dowel-rod. What exactly is it, and what is it useful for?
A French rolling pin is a real thing. It is also a very convenient thing. I find that I have much better control over my rolling using one rather than the foolish little pins with the handles that get filthy and hurt my knuckles. As for the 'French' part of the name. I don't know, having never lived in France, whether they actually refer to that style of rolling pin as French. However, I find it extremely unlikely. Probably some English speaker coined the phrase to differentiate that style of pin as one commonly used in France. Hopefully there is a French speaker who can provide more insight. (If you didn't insult them with your question.) | |||||||||
The French rolling pin is a useful tool in the kitchen for bakers, especially those who like to concoct pastries, roll out sugar cookies, or make shaped breads and rolls. The standard pin is usually 2 inches (5.08 cm) in circumference, and can come in varying lengths; 18 inches (45.72 cm) tends to be the most popular length. What makes it different from other rolling pins is that it has no handles, and is tapered to a smaller circumference at each end. It's essentially a round, usually wooden, stick of a certain thickness. From here: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-french-rolling-pin.htm | |||

PSNH fires back on coal-fired plants
In his 20-page response, Bersak writes that the PUC report glosses over 10 years of legislative mandates that resulted in PSNH retaining coal-fired plants in Bow and Newington; "trivializes" the region's overreliance on natural gas and the safety net the plants provide; and was surprisingly adversarial in tone.
Bersak suggests that regulators have bought into that argument without the in-depth economic analysis that should have been conducted before reaching conclusions that reverse a decade of legislative and regulatory history.
The report assumes natural gas will remain available at low cost for the foreseeable future, that customers will continue to abandon PSNH at current rates, that the fixed costs of the power plants will stay high forever, and that gas pipeline capacity into New England will be expanded by 2016. Bersak challenges each of those assumptions, dedicating significant space to an analysis of the natural gas market.
"Merely shuttering the plants will not eliminate the on-going costs, such as taxes, security, insurance, etc., and the remaining book value of the plants would have to be recovered from customers," he writes. "Instead of mitigating costs, retirement would merely exacerbate costs and is not worthy of further consideration."
A process proposed
The New England Power Generators Association, a trade association representing competitive electric generating companies in New England, issued its own comments on the PUC report on July 1, suggesting a process that would lead to divestiture by December 2014.
"We believe this is a much needed and thoughtful approach, and one that we look forward to participating in. With this energy strategy under development, it does not make sense to initiate a separate approach regarding PSNH's generation assets," he said. "These issues are intertwined and should be considered as part of an overall strategy on how best to provide customer's with reliable energy options and protect them from volatility with a safety net that is backed by PSNH's regulated generation."
"We'll have to wait and see how the new carbon emission plan takes shape to fully understand how it will impact PSNH's coal-fired generation," Skelton said. "The plants meet all current rules and standards, and they'll have to meet any tighter emissions standards in the future."

Recipe by Fishnets
"Simple and satisfying! Serve as a side dish or as a main course vegetarian meal with crusty bread and a glass of red wine."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon white sugar
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound mustard greens, washed and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Delicious as is or withe the addition of chicken, fish or even peppered bacon. I usually make this in a similar manner with a swig of white wine instead of viengar and add a protein, pasta and aditional olive oil with or without cheese (shreds of parm are my favorite) as a meal. Crusty bread is great for dipping/
I liked the flavor of the sauce and the beans. The greens were a bit bitter for me but that is I think personal preference. I had thought I grabbed a can of white beans at the market, but I grabbed pink.. so I used those. I might make this again, but with spinach which for me is a milder flavor. Updated - I had some leftovers of this for dinner tonight and the bitterness has toned down considerably. If you are new to greens, like me, I'd recommend making these a day before you plan to eat them.. it really improved it!

if your greens are bitter.....just add a dash of nutmeg...
Great taste. I used this recipe with a mix of turnip and mustard greens and the flavor was fantastic!
So good. I doubled the garlic and did a full teaspoon of mustard and a full teaspoon of red pepper flakes (we like a little heat). Forgot to add salt or pepper, still loved it.
I had never eaten mustard greens before, so I made this recipe to give them a try. I liked the greens, but I wish there were more of the added seasonings for a stronger flavor. I'll double the seasonings next time I try this recipe - but I will definitely make it again!
How could I NOT try a recipe from a gal whose nickname is "fishnets." Actually it was quite good. The previous recipe I had didn't use the vinegar, sugar and dry mustard, which livend it up.
Ok, I would have given this a 4 1/2 but ...obviously I couldn't. This was my absolute FIRST time eating much less MAKING mustard green. Never had em, never ate em. I had TONS growing in the garden(tried something new) I really liked this. Didn't have nutmeg so I was nervous about the bitterness, but it wasn't at all. Did it exactly as directed except 2 things- used apple cider vinegar and I used double the amount of garlic SCAPES rather than cloves...its what I had. DELISH. Other reviewers say that its better the next day- can't wait to try!

'Savannah's Soldiers' send holiday cheer to military in Afghanistan
Tuesday Dec 25, 2012 4:48 AM
"It's really amazing to see that we're doing a great thing. It's working," said Savannah Maddison Ogden, 11, who has sent thousands of letters to the military serving in Afghanistan. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.
When 11-year-old Savannah Maddison Ogden's friend's father was deployed to Afghanistan, she began a letter-writing campaign to cheer up soldiers. A year later, Ogden has inspired dozens of other kids to join her, sending thousands of letters to battalions stationed half a world away. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.

New VMware Executive Vice President of North American Partner Sales Frank Rauch Tuesday urged UBM Channel's BoB Conference attendees not to be swayed by lower-margin alternatives and to instead double down on VMware as the centerpiece of a software-defined data center strategy.
Rauch told partners grappling with making the cloud computing transition to adopt VMware's software-defined data center product portfolio as the centerpiece of their cloud offerings and take advantage of new VMware margin-rich programs, including 10 additional margin points for investing in new VMware competencies -- which includes Management, Infrastructure as a Service, Business Continuity, Infrastructure Virtualization and Virtualization of Business Critical Apps -- and 10 additional margin points for new customer wins. "In a world where margins are shrinking, to be able to get access to 20 plus points of margin is absolutely a big deal," said Rauch.
"Understand what is going on in terms of deal reg, profitability, margins, etc.," asserted Rauch, charging that unnamed competitors are going to market with thin margins for partners. "You can't make any money with these guys!"
[Related: VMware Rolls Out Token-Based Purchasing System For Enterprises]
"If you believe in this software-defined data center strategy, if you believe that is really the way the industry is going, consider VMware to be the center of that strategy rather than the side of that strategy," said Rauch. "If you are looking at other private cloud management systems or hypervisors, etc., understand where the money is going to be made, understand where the services-rich model is, understand where the hardware drag is going to occur that really play into that space rather than play with somebody that may want to take you well beyond that space [into public cloud]."
VMware's stepped up partner incentives, including a recent move to reduce the minimum deal registration threshold from a $10,000 minimum to only a $6,000 minimum, which comes as Microsoft is winning praise for its Microsoft Server 2012 with its Hyper-V virtualization platform. The new Microsoft product expands support for processors, memory and active virtual machines (VMs) per host.
Microsoft says that Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V now has support for 320 logical processors per host and 4 TB of physical memory per host compared to 160 logical processors and 32 GB and 2 TB respectively for VMware ESXi 5.0 and VMware vSphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus. What's more, Microsoft says that Windows Server 2012 supports 1,024 VMs per host compared with 512 for VMware ESXi 5.0 and VMware VSphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus.
Hugh Sazegar, president and CEO of Techcess Group, a fast growing Houston, Texas-based solution provider that partners with both Microsoft and VMware, said he sees Microsoft making progress with Hyper-V, but stressed that VMware has an absolutely stellar product with an unmatched track record.
"We chose VMware for one main reason: their stability," said Sazegar. "They have been very successful with Fortune 100 companies and enterprise-level customers. We have implemented VMware for four years, and it is extremely stable. We haven't had one single failure in the past four years. We have implemented VMware for 200 customers and thousands of users and have not had one single failure."

The PS3's Blu-Ray drive can handle BD Java ok as far as we know, but it seems part of this is picture in picture support. PS3 can not do this! So come November when all Blu-Ray players have to be able to cope with this, PS3 will be left behind. Is this something hardware based or can this be sorted with a software update? I sure hope it can.
PS3 is the only current BD player which supports picture in picture.
There was a rather short thread about this at NeoGaf.
Nothing of this world is of an integrity to surely withstand all the wraths of time.
I should know, for I have seen the end.
Then I wonder what's that Java logo in the back of my PS3 box
Besides, there's this thing called... you know... firmware upgrade. And it's not like PS3 doesn't have enough CPU or GPU power or memory to enable additional features when playing movies.
And it's funny, but I remember reading the very contrary to what that site claims earlier this week, just like VonGak says. It looks like it might be the same case as when IGN reported that PS3 could only queue up to 6 files for background downloading "coincidentally like Xbox 360"... only for us to find out immediately that they made that up
Just don't believe everything you read.
EDIT: The original source is The Inquirer. And they don't even care to elaborate on why it can't or couldn't. LOL.

There's a world of difference between a platform not supporting a feature such as PIP and not being able to do it. When I bought my 360 n november 2005, there were a ton of things it couldn't do that were resolved with a firmware update. So, it could do them, but it just didn't support them under the old firmware.
The odds of the blu ray forum adopting some impossilbe standards that the ps3 wouldn't be able to comply to are very slim to none, given that the ps3 has become the big driver of blu ray software sales.
you get + rep for a sound post newb.......lawl.
taxloss, it wouldn't hurt if you did a little reading on some of these things.
oh, and you may not want to visit such sites as the Inquirer, Joystic (sp intentional), spnge or dreadlockhairyasses.com

Speak of the devil the HD DVD for 360 came out in New Zealand today. Picked one up. It's looks identical in quality to the Warner VC-1 Blu Rays on the one disk I have.
What it does have is picture in picture which is very nice. Instead of an audio commentary it's a video/audio commentary in a window. So it'll show you how they did special effects and stuff.
Very nice. BD should do this too.

Cheers guys, was just asking the question whether it was possible with a software update. Wasn't sure. Plus I don't read these sites directly, but do visit N4G.com for lots of news on the PS3.
BR is capable of 200GB disc, infact PS4 might release in the $3-400 price range because BR will be as cheap as DVD tech by then also the next gen Cell chip shouldn't be too much either. HDD prices are falling by the day.
The descent doesn't support PIP in a traditional sense. What they did was a workaround. From hi def digest.
So, in other words, there are actually two versions of the film on the disc. One without the PIP box and one with. That's why a 98 minute film is on a BD-50 disc.However, unlike the HD DVD format's HDi environment, which allows for live in-player mixing of two separate video streams, Blu-ray BD-Java tools are currently MIA. So Lionsgate took the more obvious route, encoding a full, separate version of the film, complete with those little video picture-in-picture boxes over the main feature, to simulate the IME experience.
PS3 Will cure cancer, I'm sure it can handle PIP
BD is capable of up to 10 layers (as of now anyway). that is around about 250GB. Plenty future proofing, i'm sure
Less invasions, more equations!

Matthews, Raji Could Make It Tough To Keep Greg Jennings
When Bob McGinn suggested the Green Bay Packers should trade wide receiver Greg Jennings this year, many fans thought he was nuts despite being one of the most respected voices on the Packers beat.
The thinking of many fans, bloggers and beat writers alike was along the lines of, "receivers like Jennings don't come around very often. Ted would be nuts to let him walk."
It's a very easy argument to understand. Jennings and Aaron Rodgers share a unique chemistry and that's not something Thompson can replace with draft pick, even a first round selection. He's also one of the most beloved players on the team by the fans so naturally they refuse to consider the idea of Jennings in any other colors than green and yellow.
That said, one must consider the reality of the situation. Rodgers himself admitted it's a very real possibility Jennings won't be back in 2013. Plus the Packers are faced with signing Jennings, Rodgers, Clay Matthews and BJ Raji in the next few years. Jordy Nelson also will need a new contract thanks to his stellar play. It's very possible one of them will be a casualty of simple math as the Packers try to stay a reasonable amount under the salary cap.
Unbelievably, that casualty very well could be Jennings.

Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of December 7, 2009
Chloe talked Billy out of tossing Restless Style's feel-good cover. He was just upset about Mac, pointed out Chloe. Billy left Chloe to handle the cover. When he returned to the office later, a woman showed up offering information on Victoria's grand jury testimony... for a price.
In jail, Amber was visiting Daniel when Phyllis showed up with bad news: Deacon and Ryder had pleaded the Fifth. Isn't that proof they're guilty? cried Amber. Alone with his mother, Daniel was despondent. Having his mother and Amber see him like this made him sick inside, he said. "There is no way in hell I'm going to let this be your life," a determined Phyllis assured her son. "Who's the scariest person you know? I am getting you out of here...I can fix this." Amber came by again later and admitted she was scared. "So am I," said Daniel.
A chipper Jack asked Ashley to meet him, and shared the news that Katherine had let him into the Chancellor deal after all. Meanwhile, Kay sat nearby with Neil, and revealed that billionaire Tucker McCall wanted in on Chancellor Industries. "He could drive the share price right up," enthused Neil. Kay was hesitant because including Tucker would require limiting the shares of family and friends ...like Jack. Soon after, Ashley noticed an anxious Neil on the phone with Lily, and offered her support, pointing out that she also had cancer, and now has a miracle baby. Jack approached Kay, and she warned him that talk of the deal might be premature. Neil rejoined Kay, who told him there would be no deal until she met McCall face to face.
Cane and Lily showed up at the Chancellor estate to drive Mac to the in vitro appointment. "We're all in this together," explained a giddy Cane. At the hospital, Cane tried to stay calm. "You're so cute when you're jittery," teased Lily. Cane left to get coffee when the doctor arrived for the implantation, and ran into a bitter Billy. Cane accused Billy of feeling sorry for himself. Jack arrived in time to Billy away as he was attacking Cane for being a sanctimonious jerk. "Don't get so mired in the muck that you don't let the good stuff happen," Jack advised his agitated brother. Unappeased, Billy left.
A disgusted Nick caught Sharon in bed with Adam. Sharon chased after him and demanded to know why he'd barged into her bedroom. He was responding to the email she sent, Nick explained. Sharon was confused, but when Nick called her insane, she was so insulted she forgot about the email comment. Adam was just using her to stick it to him, Nick accused. Adam jumped in to stand up for Sharon, but after Nick left, Adam suggested to Sharon that maybe their being together was a mistake. Sharon disagreed. "You don't treat me like I'm some kind of problem to solve, or someone who needs rescuing," observed Sharon. "I'm not going anywhere unless you tell me to," Adam replied.
Nick summoned Noah to the coffee shop and suggested Noah move back in with him. "What happened to, 'You should look after Mom?'" asked a confused Noah. Nick backed off, but told Noah to call if he needed anything. Later, Phyllis met up with Nick, still shaken after seeing Daniel. Taking note of her distress, Nick didn't tell her about catching Sharon with Adam.
Phyllis and Michael visited Daniel in jail. Daniel wished he'd followed Michael's advice and had pleaded the Fifth. Michael wanted to prepare for the trial, but Phyllis didn't want things to go so far. She was determined to talk to Heather and convince the D.A. that Ryder are Deacon are the ones who killed Elkins. Michael told her that it was a terrible idea to go "rogue," but she was determined to do something.
At Crimson Lights, Kevin was surprised to see Ryder and wondered why he had been hiding out. Ryder replied that he needed space. Kevin was angry with Ryder for not helping out Daniel. Ryder explained that Deacon threatened him so he threw Daniel under the bus. Kevin couldn't believe that Deacon would really do anything, but Ryder argued that he was fighting for his life.
Nick thought about catching Adam with Sharon. Victoria stopped by his office and asked how Phyllis is doing. Nick replied that she's upset and scared. Victoria shared that she testified that Daniel had helped her return the Terroni to the museum. She then informed him that she wants to go in on Chancellor. Adam interrupted and Victoria quickly left. He took a call from Sharon right in front of Nick. After, he taunted Nick about Nick's ex-wife
now having feelings for him. Nick stated that even though they're not married anymore, he's still going to look after Sharon. Adam reminded Nick that he's now married to Phyllis and has no business butting into Sharon's life. He retorted that if Adam really cares about Sharon, he'll back off. Adam went on about how he's not married so he can make Sharon happy as often as he wants. Nick punched his brother, who called Michael and asked him to come to Newman.
J.T. spoke with his boss about Chancellor. He then read an article online about Restless Style leaking information about Victoria's testimony. Victoria came home and told J.T. that she's going in on Chancellor. J.T. then showed her the Restless Style article, which mentioned her affair with Deacon. Victoria was furious that the testimony had been leaked because she was anxious to return to work. J.T. accused her of only caring about Newman Enterprises and not their marriage. She denied it, but he wasn't placated. She shared how much she hated even discussing it in her testimony. "You play, you pay," J.T. said coldly and took a business call instead of talking to her. Victoria wished that they could connect and urged him to deal with his anger toward her. "Nothing I say is going to make a difference," he said, noting that their marriage isn't a partnership. "It's Victoria's world and I'm just existing in it," he said, not believing that she wants to work on their union. "I'm pissed!" he yelled, "but I don't have time to deal with it. I've got more important things to do." Ouch.
Noah came home and was surprised to find Sharon baking. Sharon sat him down and told him that she and Adam have become more than friends. She noted that while Adam has done some bad things in the past, he has a great heart. Noah was concerned that she's dating someone too soon after the baby's death, but she wanted to move on with her life. Noah agreed to support his mom, but later met up with Abby and unhappily told her about Sharon's new boyfriend. Abby called Adam "creepy." Noah planned to keep an eye on him.
Phyllis went to see Paul and asked if he could do anything to help Daniel. She was willing to do whatever was necessary. Soon, Heather came to Phyllis's and Phyllis told her that Daniel has been set up for murder. Heather argued that the evidence says otherwise. Phyllis began to cry and said that she hopes Heather never has to watch her child's life get ruined. Paul asked to speak with Heather alone and insisted that Daniel is a good kid. He asked to look at the case file so he could see how the police handled the investigation, but she explained that she couldn't do that. He implored her to stop thinking like a D.A. for a moment and think about how she could help Daniel.... Kevin paid Daniel a visit and vowed to get his friend out of jail. Daniel was doubtful. Kevin was guilty about Ryder not coming through for him, while Daniel worried that Ryder would end up targeting Kevin or one of his loved ones the next time. Later, at the coffeehouse, Ryder approached Kevin, but Kevin wasn't friendly toward him.
Michael arrived at Newman and found Adam photographing his face where Nick had punched him so he'd have "evidence." Michael reamed out Nick, noting that it wouldn't look good having the CEO of Newman punching an employee. Michael called Adam into the office and Nick apologized. Adam wouldn't accept it, though, and wanted to sue Nick for assault. Later, Adam called Sharon and asked to come by, but Nick beat him to it. Nick again
stated that Adam is using her to get back at him and filled her in on how he'd punched Adam. "What are you, 12?" she scoffed. Nick didn't think that it was an accident that he showed up when he did and concluded that Adam sent the e-mail so Nick could catch them having sex. She was shocked when Nick revealed that Adam is suing him for assault. "Do you really think he wanted you to punch him?" she asked. "I honestly think he did," Nick confirmed. He pleaded with her to open her eyes and see Adam for who he really is.
In the coffeehouse, Michael told Ryder that he's going to call him and Deacon to the stand during Daniel's trial. He warned that he'd find out what Ryder is hiding.... Heather let Paul look at the papers, for which he was grateful. Paul called Phyllis and told her that he read the case report and is going to see what he can find out about the third person who was in the alley the night of the murder. She was grateful to have some hope, but Paul warned that it was still a long shot that anything would pan out.
Phyllis told Nick about the Restless Style exposé on Victoria. Nick filled her in on how Adam is threatening to press charges. She wondered why Nick lost it, but he wasn't anxious to give her the details.... Adam went to Sharon's and she questioned why he's with her. "Is it because you have strong feelings for me or is it because you want revenge on Nick?" she asked.
Adam was surprised and hurt that Sharon questioned his motives for being with her. He begged her to believe that his feelings were true, listing all the reasons that she was special to him. "You didn't judge me when my own family wouldn't even have me at the table for Thanksgiving," Adam tearfully admitted. "No one has believed in me like this since my mother," he cried. As Sharon reached out for him and apologized for accusing him, he rushed out the door. Sharon was pondering the situation as her doorbell rang. She was pleased to welcome her mother in for a visit. Doris noticed Sharon's bouquet of flowers and was skeptical when Sharon happily announced that she was seeing someone new. "Oh sweetheart," she admonished. "When will you ever learn?" Sharon let it slip that Nick's brother Adam was her new man, which made her mother even wearier. "You are asking for trouble, girl!" she cautioned. After Doris left, Adam returned. He and Sharon grabbed each other and began kissing passionately. "Let's make sure we lock the door this time," Adam panted.
Nick showed up on Victoria's doorstep. She confided that she and J.T. had just gotten into a huge fight after her affair with Deacon was splashed all over the internet. Nick admitted that he felt bad about punching Adam. Victoria implored Nick not to let Adam get to him. "After all, what can he really take from you ... nothing," she sympathized. "You'd be surprised," stated a nervous Nick. He changed the subject to her marriage. She confided in him that things between her and J.T. were worse than ever. Nick suggested again that she take Reed and go to work for Newman in Dubai. She wasn't sure that "running away" was the right answer, but was excited by the possibility of jumping back into the business world.
In his jail cell, Chance's attacker ground his teeth and snarled menacingly while staring at the newspaper article in which Chance was hailed as a hero.
At the Chancellor estate, Billy burst in on Chance and Chloe making out. As he returned Delia to her mother, Billy made some jabs about her "perfect little life" with her "knight in shining armor." It was soon time for Delia to go to bed, and Billy offered to help Chloe put her down. Chance stayed behind to answer his ringing cell phone. He was shocked to hear the voice of his attacker on the other end. Riggs said he had seen Chance's photo in the paper and needed him to come to the jail to talk. Curious and furious, Chance took off to confront him. After he left, Billy wanted to discuss the status of Chloe's relationship. "He's boring as hell!" Billy blurted, reminding her her that Cane had seemed like a great guy, but had turned out to be a fraud. "You should watch your back, because you might come home one day to find out that Sir Galahad isn't as squeaky clean as he claims to be," Billy warned.
Chance arrived at the jail to meet with Riggs, but was stunned to find out that the prisoner had escaped. Sid explained that Riggs had claimed to have severe stomach pains, then gave the ambulance crew the slip en route to the hospital. Back home, Chance filled Chloe in on Riggs' escape. She was horrified to learn that the man who had stabbed him was on the loose.
At Crimson Lights, Ryder quickly ended his cell phone call to Daisy by promising her that he would try to get away. Lauren cornered Ryder and grilled him about why he had skipped out on Thanksgiving dinner. Ryder stated that he was grateful for being included in the family, but that he had gotten tired of being interrogated. Lauren steered the conversation to his grand jury testimony, and how he hadn't made good on his promise to tell the truth. Their discussion got heated, and Lauren threatened to have him sent to jail if she ever proved that he had sent her the rat.
Later, Lauren arrived at her boutique, and spied Ryder hurrying away. Shrugging, she entered and found Daisy hard at work. Lauren thanked Daisy for being such a good employee and hugged her, saying she was so lucky to have found such a great girl. As they were closing up the boutique, the electricity suddenly went out. Lauren grabbed a flashlight and began calling for Daisy. She screamed in horror upon discovering a rat crawling at her feet. The lights came back on, and Daisy claimed she had briefly disappeared to retrieve her scarf. Lauren was furious that someone was messing with her again. She told Daisy how she had seen Ryder as she had come into the store, and wondered if he was behind the second rat prank. "The guy totally creeps me out," agreed Daisy.
Adam and Michael ran into each other at the coffeehouse. Michael asked Adam if there was some way they could work out his assault lawsuit against Nick. Adam was adamant that the lawsuit would go forward. Michael requested that Adam inform his father about his lawsuit. "If you're going to sue the company, your father deserves a heads-up," Michael informed him. After Michael left, Adam pulled out his cell phone to call Victor.
Michael went to Newman to visit with Nick about the lawsuit. He informed Nick that Adam had called Victor, who had talked him out of going forward. Nick was thrilled until he learned that Adam was demanding a promotion in exchange for dropping the suit. "Either he becomes an equal partner with you here at Newman, or you risk losing your position altogether," Michael announced. Nick was furious, and stated that the punk shouldn't even be allowed to walk the halls, let alone run the company with him.
Victoria confronted Billy at Restless Style. She accused him of ruining her life and not caring that her little boy might have to face his parents' divorce because of what he did. "I didn't force you into Deacon Sharpe's bed," Billy shot back. She threatened to retaliate against him when he least expected it.
Katherine and Murphy discussed Chancellor going public. She feared that the stock would sell too well and she'd have more people to answer to. She wanted more time with Murphy. He realized that she was afraid that she'd reached the top and could only go down from there — and assured her that she'd always be on top. Kay wanted to do it for Jill and make sure the company was in the best possible place. Still, she confided that doing it is turning out to be harder than she thought. Kay was also nervous about letting Tucker McCall into the mix.
Jill went to New York on business and stopped at a bar that looked out at a particular Manhattan landmark. She flirted with the bartender ... who was actually Tucker. He joined her for a drink and she wondered why he looked so familiar. Then when she asked for his name, he introduced himself as Mick. He said that he's good at reading people and pegged Jill as a successful businesswoman, who's a fighter. She was impressed. She then guessed that he hasn't always been a bartender and likes to travel a lot and be adventurous. She also guessed that New York isn't his home and he's suffered a deep loss. He replied that she'd described him perfectly.
Paul and Phyllis met at the G.C.A.C. to discuss Daniel's case. He showed her pictures which were taken by a security camera just after the shooting. He noted that the driver was wearing a ski mask and talking on a phone. Phyllis realized that that person was the third man Daniel had mentioned — the murderer. Paul revealed that the man put the mask in a gym bag, then threw it in a dumpster. There was a logo on the bag, but Paul couldn't figure out what it was. Phyllis didn't understand why the police didn't have any of this.
Both Amber and Deacon stopped by the jail. Amber was certain that Daniel would be freed, but Deacon wasn't. He told her that he'd be waiting when she became lonely. Daniel joined his wife and assured her that Deacon can no longer touch her. Later, Phyllis showed Amber the photos and they were both hopeful that Daniel would be freed. Deacon entered the coffeehouse and Phyllis showed him the photos. He denied having anything to do with them. She warned him that he wouldn't get away with framing Daniel.
Victoria wanted to talk to J.T., but he refused and said that he had to work. She pushed and he became angry. He asked to wait until the weekend to hash everything out. Victoria asked what he thought of her going to Dubai on business, believing that time apart would be good for them. He disagreed.
Heather paid Billy a visit at Restless Style and told him that he broke the law by leaking Victoria's testimony. He refused to reveal his source. After, Billy stopped by Victoria and J.T.'s with flowers to apologize for not giving her the opportunity to give her side of the story. She didn't even want to deal with him. J.T. demanded that Billy leave Victoria alone. Billy argued that good stories sell magazines and he's just a journalist. "You're not a journalist; you're an opportunist," J.T. shot back. Billy mocked J.T. and told him that even if he puts on a suit, he's just a security guard. J.T. called security to throw him out.... Victoria approached Heather and her boss, Owen, at Crimson Lights and asked what they'd do about Billy. Heather said that he wouldn't reveal his source. Owen agreed to do something about him.
Jill called Kay and told her that the meeting went well with the lawyers. Kay admitted that she's not sure about Tucker. Jill suggested she meet with him first before making up her mind. Jill then told "Mick" that she's about to make the biggest deal of her career and explained the stock deal to him. He was fascinated. After, she asked if he likes his job. He replied that he does and that his bar doesn't just sell drinks; it sells a cure for loneliness. Jill was again interrupted by a call from Paul, who informed her that he's learned that Kay's baby had been placed somewhere in Ohio. Jill wanted to give Kay good news by Christmas. He promised to continue keeping the search from Katherine.
Phyllis showed Heather the photos, but Heather said that they're useless. Phyllis stuck them in her face and insisted that the person was tied to the crime. Heather wasn't interested in investigating the case further because she was confident that she had a solid case against Daniel. Deacon overheard their discussion and made a call, asking someone to have his "message" delivered.... Amber returned to the prison and happily told Daniel about the surveillance photos.
Murphy joined Paul at the G.C.A.C. and Paul filled him in on the search. He asked if Murphy could ask some questions and see if he can jog Kay's memory. Murphy wondered what would happen if they found her daughter and it turned out she'd had a tragic life. He feared that this would tear Kay apart.... Billy and J.T. arrived at the club at the same time. Murphy stopped Billy from going over to J.T., while J.T. sat down with Paul. J.T. admitted that his new job is affecting his marriage.... Murphy had a serious talk with Billy about Billy's latest actions and suggested that he ask himself if he's really proud of what he's doing.
Victoria stopped by the Chancellor Estate and informed Kay that she and Nick are joining forces to go in on Chancellor. Kay sensed that something was bothering Vicky. She confided that she and J.T. are having problems. Kay advised her to give him his space because he might not be ready to deal with everything. Victoria then admitted that she wished she had a job. Kay invited her to join Chancellor. As Victoria shared her plans to go to Dubai with Reed, J.T. told Paul that he wasn't happy with the idea. Kay again mentioned Chancellor, but Victoria didn't think it would help. She was especially upset about her affair with Deacon being made public. Kay could sympathize.... J.T. insisted to Paul that he's forgiven his wife for her affair and is ready to move past it. Paul didn't think it was that easy. Neither did Kay, who noted that it would take time for him to trust Victoria again.
Paul met up with Heather at the coffeehouse. Heather told him that the photos won't prove Daniel's innocence and asked him to talk some sense into Phyllis. Paul argued that she's just trying to protect her son.... Amber and Phyllis planned to do whatever it took to find the gym bag, even if it meant digging through a landfill..... At the prison, a big, mean-looking guy sat and glowered at Daniel.
Murphy returned home and played cards with Kay. Kay told him that her meeting with Tucker wasn't the most important in her life — it was the day she'd first met Murphy. Aww....
Victoria found J.T. at the club and he apologized for throwing himself into his work. She told him to do what he needed to do, and they'd deal with it. J.T. spied Billy and wanted to "deal" with him, but Victoria stopped him.... Billy was then served with papers for leaking the testimony. Victoria and J.T. looked on, satisfied.
Jill flashed back to her steamy one-night stand with the guy in New York and chuckled as she told Kay she didn't get much sleep. Kay was nervous about the upcoming meeting with Tucker McCall and warned Jill that Tucker is as charming as he is shrewd. Meanwhile, Tucker arrived in Genoa City. J.T. gave him the update on Chancellor and expressed his concern over Jill's decision regarding the matter; Tucker didn't seem fazed. Later, Kay met with Tucker and Neil. She remained dubious and demanded to know Tucker's intentions. He tried to win her over. Jill arrived late to the meeting and was shocked to discover that her lover from the night before is Tucker! She kept mum about it and Tucker laid out his plan, saying he wants to buy 25 percent of the company; Kay didn't want to shut out her close (friends and family) investors. Tucker gave her until midnight to reach a decision and left. After, Jill called Tucker a liar. Kay was impressed by his shrewd business tactics; Neil figured they could benefit from Tucker's money.
Victoria told Heather she wants to be there when Billy goes before the judge and they traded barbs about the situation. Heather said it doesn't affect Daniel's case at all and said she thinks juror leaked the info to Billy. Victoria was upset that Billy was using his publication in a personal grudge and angry that Heather was going to use the First Amendment in Billy's defense. Meanwhile, at the coffee shop, Billy met with Rafe, who said he can't refuse his court subpoena; Billy refused to give up his
At the hospital, Phyllis and Michael crossed hairs over Daniel's situation. Phyl was outraged and said she's certain the weight machine that fell on her son at the prison gym wasn't just an accident. In Daniel's room, Amber tried to make him feel more comfortable and got upset at the thought of him going to prison again; Phyllis refused to let that happen. Later, Michael told Heather he wants Daniel in protective custody and is convinced that he was framed. Phyll threatened to sue Heather and the state for not protecting Daniel. Everyone left. Daniel admitted to Heather and Michael that an acquaintance of Deacon's has been watching him in prison and it's freaking him out. When angry and determined Phyll returned, she said she's going to the landfill to find the gym bag. Michael called her crazy.
Cane and Lily were anxious for Mac to find out the results of her pregnancy test. She was wary and said she doesn't want to disappoint them. They urged her to bask in the possibility. Billy entered and Mac confronted him about the article about Victoria and railed at him for acting like Victor. Later, Lily was overzealous and assumed Mac was having a pregnancy craving when Mac wanted hot sauce on her popcorn while the trio played cards and waited for the results. The doctor called and Mac announced she's pregnant. Cane and Lily were elated.
Billy took the stand in court and compared his source to Deep Throat; the judge was not amused and said Billy's case is more akin to porn, not Watergate. He ruled Billy reveal his source or be in contempt of court. Later, Victoria was pleased when J.T. arrived, and apologized for what she put him through. Meanwhile, Rafe tried to urge Billy that it'll be okay to spill his source's name; Billy feared the magazine would fold. Back on the stand, Billy refused to reveal his source and was arrested.
Jill confronted Tucker about lying about his identity, saying that their affair wouldn't have happened if she'd known who he really was. He tried to seduce her again and she couldn't resist when he kissed her. They had sex again. Meanwhile, Kay wrestled with her decision and desperate Phyllis went digging through the trash at the landfill.

MISSION—For nearly the entire night the Mission Eagles dominated the ball in their District 30-5A soccer match with Palmview High School. The Lobos, however, scored an early goal and a late goal to force the game into a shootout before the Eagles took home the win. The scorers for Mission were Eduardo Davila and Eder Velasquez. Lobo scorers were Efrain Duran and Miguel Ponce.
A loss would have brought Palmview into a tie with the Eagles for fourth place. The loss, however, now places the Lobos two games behind Mission.

#112 - THE WAY TO SALVATION IN THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL – ERNEST L. MARTIN "The traditional interpretation of an everlasting hell fire for sinners is as wrong and as senseless as believing that a three dollar bill is legal tender. Ultimate salvation is something that has been secured by Christ for all mankind without the works of man (either good or bad) being involved in the issue. Everyone will finally be saved and brought to a full knowledge of the truth of God. All humans will finally be forgiven for their sins and they will become reconciled to God. All things in the heavens, on earth and under the earth (the angels who are kept in chains in the bowels of the earth) will one day proclaim the Lordship of Christ to the glory of God the Father. But it will not only be all humans who are reconciled to God (now that God has reconciled Himself to mankind). The reconciliation will reach out to embrace all the hostile powers which have been out of harmony with God over the centuries. There is prophesied, according to Paul, a full reconciliation between all the antagonistic beings throughout the universe. Even they will be reconciled amongst themselves, Between themselves and mankind, and between themselves and God the Father (Col. 1:20). All grievances, both divine and human, are disposed of through the life and death of Christ our Saviour. Peace has been, or will be established between all hostile parties throughout the universe. The Greek of the New Testament shows that all punishment is age-lasting, not forever as the King James Version renders it." |

#113 - THE EARLY VIEW OF THE SAVIOR – GARY AMIRAULT "When one looks at the first 500 years of Christianity, not one creed even hinted at "Eternal Torment;" not one creed denied "Universal Restoration;" no church council condemned "Universal Restoration." hellbusters.8m.com/updcontents.html When one looks at the lives of those church leaders who brought the doctrine of "Eternal Torment" into the church, we find a long string of envyings, power plays, persecutions, character assassinations, book burnings, murders, and tortures. They became like the god they created – tormentors and murderers! They exchanged the truth for a lie and brought darkness to the world – the Dark Ages." |

#114 - ETERNAL DEATH – ONE STEP OUT OF HELL, ONE STEP SHORT OF GLORY - GARY AMIRAULT "When it comes to the final destination of the wicked, or unrighteous, Christians over the past two millenniums have divided themselves into three beliefs: 1. Eternal Torment, 2. Eternal Death (annihilationism), and 3. Salvation of the whole world through Jesus Christ. Each of these views can be supported with Scriptures. Having been in all three groups, I know there are sincere Bible centered believers in all of them. Obviously, all three cannot be true. Two of them have to be false. This is a writing showing that the Doctrine of Eternal Death finds no support in the Greek or Hebrew texts. While the teaching makes the Christian God more loving and merciful than the Doctrine of Eternal Torment, there is a much more Scriptural way of proving that our Father's mercy extends far beyond "Eternal Death," or "Eternal Punishment."

#115 - THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL – TONY HINKLE & GARY AMIRAULT "Christian leaders have locked themselves into the teaching that the King James Bible is 'the inerrant' translation of the so-called original texts. They say the 66 books of the present King James Bible are inerrant, but they don't tell you it lacks 14 entire books which were in the original King James of 1611. They don't tell you the King James Bible has been changed many times in the last 350 years, and there have been thousands of corrections! This world need to be set free of false images and concepts of our wonderful Father. Please meditate on this very thoughtfully and prayerfully. If eternal torment is the penalty for sin and the Creator did not want anyone ending up there, then it should stand to reason that He would make the warning as absolutely clear as He could make it to all mankind, past, present, and future. But the fact of the matter is that thousands upon thousands were born after Adam and they were never warned. Read the prophets and you will not find a place of eternal torment for the wicked. If the Creator loved us and created such a horrible place, He would surely have plastered the warning everywhere. The KJV has the phrase 'everlasting punishment' only once. Yet, when looking at these word in the Greek, even these two references turn out to be 'age-during correction.' Again we ask, if eternal torment be the horrible fate of most of mankind, why such a little warning? The Scriptures tell us the mind of man cannot conceive the height, length, depth, and width of our Father's love for His creation. His ways are much higher than our in all areas, including His justice, love, and wisdom. He wounds, but like a doctor, to bring about healing. He says 'Vengeance is Mine' knowing only He can return good for evil, an innocent life for a guilty one. He overcomes His enemies with good and tells you to do the same. His love never fails. Believe it. It will never fail anyone, including you. You can now enter into your rest. 'For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth, of things in the heavens (Col. 1:20). |

#116 - THE SECOND DEATH – A.E. SAXBY "Orthodox theology holds the second death to be a state of endless torment in which the sufferers are held forever in conscious being by a continuous act of Divine preservation, with the soul object of a punishment without end. This however would in no sense be death. The second death does not perpetuate the hopeless condition of the sinner to all eternity. What the Holy Spirit mean by 'fire and brimstone' is 'divine purification,' or a judgment fire which consumes all that is antagonistic to divine law and love. Before the Great White Throne, that vast throng, their naked spirits conscious now of the blazing holiness of God, will be subjected to the process of the second death. What those processes are, their intensity and their duration, we are not told. They will suffice, however, not in themselves to perfect, but to bring those who suffer them to that agreement with the judgment upon sin which they effect, and through the cross finally to reconcile them to God (Col. 1:20), in a subjection where He will be 'All in all.' When that acquiescence in judgment upon sin is reached, and applied in soul and spirit, then will be possible the final victory over death. Hence it is written that when this subjection is reached, then and only then, 'the last enemy, death, shall be destroyed.' " |

#117 - OVERWHELMING GRACE – JOHN H. ESSEX "God is a despot. Paul in Ephesians 1:11, speaks of 'the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will.' Yes, God exercise a despotic sway over the whole universe, but we are thankful for this because He is Love. Though He will brook no opposition to the furtherance of His purpose, He is never a tyrant. When He inflicts evil upon any, it is always in order that good may follow. His sovereign will is the ultimate salvation and blessing of all, that He may be All in all. For all creation in its need, The future is engraved In words of life, for all to read, 'In grace shall you be saved.' Let every mental conflict cease, Let every barrier fall, For grace removes each bar to peace Till Thou art All in all. O God, how glorious is Thy grace! How radiantly divine! It stretches out its wide embrace, To make all creatures Thine. When God is All in all, the whole creation will have become His achievement, and every member will be a beneficiary of His OVERWHELMING GRACE." |

#118 - THE GOSPEL OF GRACE – CHARLES W. WELLER "Love conquers all, for it is the love of God that allows humanity to see its frailty that in the bitter dregs it may choose life. I thank the Lord that the plan of redemption wasn't a stop gap measure but a well thought out plan that in the fullness of time, all will have Christ as their head. Victory in Jesus! Before creation there was no time. Since creation there has been time. But with the consummation of things and God becoming All in all, time will end, and sin, which is limited by time shall end. Yet, God and creation shall go on. If God cannot surmount the evil in the world and turn it all into good, then there is a power equal and opposite to Him. But sin isn't eternal. The cross of The plan of God is such that His grace, that unmerited favor, will cause man and all of creation to be restored. Great was the joy of the father for the return of his son. How much more so will God be rejoicing at the restitution of all. A father never beats a child to death for wrong, but corrects and loves regardless. Even so is our Heavenly Father. The mercy and love of God is to be so revealed that Jesus shall be All in all. The purpose for the present is to save some. The purpose for the future is to save all. Because men have failed to see and understand the doctrine of election, it has propagated false ideas of salvation. Even he who dies in sin shall be saved as by fire. Victorious grace covers a larger redemption than many would consider." |

#119 - JUSTIFICATION – DONALD G. HAYTER "Although God introduced sin through the agency of His creatures, yet He did not sin in so doing. For it was no mistake, no failure of His. It was in accord with His intention, and it will be justified by the beneficial results obtained through its agency. God is justified in all He does, for His final intention to glorify Himself and bless all of His creatures is the dominating purpose which adds luster to all His eonian operations. In the brilliant glory of His ultimate, the most somber and gloomy features of earth's history are transformed into a brilliant display of His power, wisdom, and love. During the final eons, every creature in the heavens, and on earth, and under the earth, will have learned of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the depths of the Father's love revealed in them. And every knee will bow to Him Who died, acclaiming Him Lord, for the glory of God the Father. Very feebly we can enter into the joy, the satisfaction, the thankfulness that will be His as He views the vast potentials of love and adoration that will be pulsing within the heart of everyone. Thus will all ultimately be justified. God's matchless wisdom, serving in the cause of His love, has produced a method of salvation that calls forth the adoring wonder of our hearts. What a God we have!" |

#120 - THE OUTCOME OF INFINITE GRACE – DR. LOYAL F. HURLEY "Heb. 11:3 should read, 'Through faith we understand that the ages were planned by the Word of God.' The ages will collectively end. A literal translation of Heb. 9:16 is, 'But now, once for all, with a view to the end of the ages, hath He been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.' (Alexander Thompson's translation) Throughout the eons there is sin and evil, condemnation and death. At the end of the eons, all will be reconciled through Christ's blood (Col. 1:20). Only as one sees the plan of the ages does he see the beauty of God's Program for the redemption of the race. When you perceive the truth concerning the ages your Bible will become a new and more wonderful Book than you knew you had." |

#121 - THE GOSPEL – BERT BAUMAN "Our popular English Bible carries the name of an earthly monarch and so bears mute testimony to the influence the English King had over the translators. His directive to 'do nothing that will disturb the tranquility of the church', appears to have been taken very seriously by the translators since they often chose to interpret certain Greek words to support then current church doctrine, rather than render a faithful and consistent translation of the original. I must confess to the admiration I feel for the absolute brilliance of Satan's cunning and strategy. He has effectively polluted the entire fountain of truth from which Christians drink by causing confusion in the meaning of the single word aion, and its adjective aionios. It does not seem that this single word could be so important as to produce calamitous results, but it is just here that we see the utter genius of our adversary. Perhaps no other word, erroneously translated, could cause such widespread confusion and distortion of the truth. Practically all Christian doctrine is affected: the purposes of God, the nature of God, judgment, man's destiny, and salvation – to say nothing of its effect upon our concept of the very God we worship and the way we treat one another as Christians, and the world at large." EDITOR'S ADDITION AIÓN -- AIÓNIOS www.tentmaker.org/books/Aion_lim.html BERT BAUMAN continues, "The doctrine of eternal torment is not found in the Scripture but the teaching of judgment certainly is. But why judgment? Is it a matter of God's vengeance only? The scriptures suggest that God's judgments are desirable but not necessarily enjoyable. It is never pleasant to be judged, but the fruit of judgment is desirable. Correction produces righteousness which yields the fruit of the Spirit. Therefore, while the chastening is unpleasant, the results are a blessing. Out of love for His creatures, God chastens, and corrects. He judges His creatures for their own good. Did not Jesus teach us to love and do good even to our enemies? And while He admonishes us to be perfect even as our heavenly Father, would our Father be less than we are expected to be? Can love pour out vengeance for its own gratification, or judge to satisfy its own sense of justice? The result of God's judgments must ultimately be profitable and beneficial to the one being punished, 'for the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them' (Luke 9:56)." |

February/March 2011
A fiber art project launched in 2005 in the living room of two sisters has spread around the world and taken root at the Smithsonian. The burgeoning "Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef" and Smithsonian Community Reef - the project's latest satellite reef - are on exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., through April 24. Ultimately, the thousands of crochet organisms that comprise the two reefs may raise awareness to protect the real, endangered reefs on the ocean floor.
Twin sisters Margaret and Christine Wertheim began their mammoth craft undertaking as an initiative of their Los Angeles-based Institute For Figuring (IFF). Margaret, a science writer, and Christine, a California Institute of the Arts professor, became fascinated by the work of Cornell University mathematician Daina Taimina. An ardent crafter since her Latvian childhood, Taimina discovered in 1997 that hyperbolic space could be physically modeled through crocheted forms. ("Hyperbolic space" is a term from non-Euclidean geometry; a hyperbolic plane is a surface in which the space curves away from itself at every point.) Taimina's mathematically pure, ruffled structures reminded the Australian-born sisters of the curly coral creatures that form the Great Barrier Reef. Christine and Margaret then re-interpreted Taimina's academically prescribed shapes into a multifarious crocheted reef.
Beauty is not all that these living organisms provide, of course. Rick MacPherson of the Coral Reef Alliance points out that while coral reefs cover just two-tenths of one percent of the ocean floor, their complex tropical ecosystems rival the rainforests in biodiversity, supporting almost a quarter of all marine species. Coral reefs also provide food, resources for medicines, and "income to millions of people worldwide, and they protect our coastal communities from damaging storms and tsunamis," MacPherson says.

This is -- Imus in the morning.
On the -- Good morning everyone for workers in Los Angeles and Long Beach will be back on the job today after agreeing to -- a crippling eight day strike that's according to the chief negotiator for the shippers and terminal operators.
Who says striking clerical workers and longshoreman refused to cross that picket lines.
Were returned to work this morning.
Clerks were working without a contract for more than two years.
Los Angeles mayor Antonio -- -- pushed both sides to reach a deal.
Talking for two and a half years.
An eight day strike that had tremendous impact on the city of Los Angeles and on the nation.
And obviously.
This is a.
Great great day.
Details of the agreement were not released but the union claimed terminal operators wanted to outsource future jobs out of state and overseas.
The strike cost Southern California an estimated eight billion dollars.
We're set to get several pieces of economic data this morning including the first of this week's readings on the labor market.
Payroll processing firm ADP is expected to report that 125000.
Jobs were added in the private sector last month.
That would be down from the 158000.
Added in October a lot to see if that number is revised that figures out at 8:15 AM eastern and it comes ahead of the government's November jobs report on Friday.
Which is expected to show 93000.
Nonfarm jobs in 95000 private sector jobs.
Were added to the economy now at 8:30 eastern today we'll get our final reading on third quarter nonfarm productivity that -- estimated.
To rise to an annualized rate of two point 7%.
After the initial reading showed a gain of one point 9%.
We'll also get labor costs which are expected to decline by point 9% lower than the initial decline.
A point 1% and as always we'll have all of those numbers for you as soon as they cross.
In the meantime let's take a look at the markets here in the US futures are up across the board Dow futures are up.

I suppose there's no real surprise in those numbers so you've been talking about the reality is there's still a huge amount of risk to a huge amount of uncertainty is revolving around.

Inside that look at some of the valuations.
Very cheap indeed.
You know -- on eleven and a half times multiple ten year average closed affecting in the hall if you're -- still some wonderful opportunities in the Euro -- There aren't a little optimism there we like that now.

What is fields and diamonds and -- it's and many budget quite frankly given how code isn't London's -- how -- the message is around.
The economy should be more like adult wouldn't excitement from the chancellor because given the backdrop of very weak growth and we've been saying in the UK the tax take has also been on the pressure.

A girl can never have too many jewels, right? Leave it to Prada to make a nude shoe over-the-top with glamour. The Prada Jeweled T-Strap Sandal definitely qualifies as jewelry for your feet. I probably wouldnt wear these to the office, but cant you just picture yourself sipping a martini in these?
The Yves Saint Laurent high heel black patent sandal with feathers is a fierce and fun shoe. We love all of the ornamental detailing. Only wear minimal jewelry with these shoes. Youll be center stage in these gorgeous shoes!
There are a few words that immediately came to mind when we laid eyes on the Dior Retro Slingback Sandal. Classic. Sophisticated. Sexy. When you combine those three elements the end result is the next shoe that must be in our closet. We love the simple, but classy detailing of the leather button closure and the etched gold metal Dior logo which works brilliantly on this nude sandal.

Gaza rocket directly hits home in southern Israel; Iron Dome intercepts missile in Netivot for first
IDF kills Islamic Jihad operative involved in terror attack along Egypt border; more than 30 rockets fired at Israel on Wednesday.
A Gaza rocket has directly hit a home in the Sdot Negev Regional council on Wednesday, as more than 30 rockets were fired into southern Israel since the morning.
Meanwhile, the Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted a rocket fired at Netivot for the first time on Wednesday. Another rocket, which was fired during the same barrage, directly hit a home in Sdot Negev, and several people suffered from shock.
Four more rockets landed in open areas and no casualties or damage was reported.
Earlier Wednesday, the Israel Air Force carried out a strike in Gaza which targeted a World Islamic Jihad operative who was involved in the terror attack on the Israel-Egypt border on Monday. The strike killed the operative and seriously wounded his comrade.

so you spent $4000 on 4x Titan cards and are now mad it doesnt scale? anyone could have told you the gains after 2 cards are worthless. average scaling from 1 card to 2 cards across ALL benchmarks is 1920x120 30% / 2560x1600 48% 5760x11080 50% Tri sli vs single is just 35% 70% 68% compared to single card thats a difference of 5% 22% and 18% gains from 2 cards to 3 so what made you think a 4th card was gonna scale like magic? http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_Titan_SLI/22.html
Yeah, seems a tad redundant. If you have the funds to buy 4 Titans you should also have the balls to BIOS tweak/flash and enter HWbot benchmark comps using at least water... if not LN2.
Florentino, are you Chinese? Is it your setup? You know there are Titan Quad SLI reviews out there which state the obvious.
There is no point to go with more than 3 and mostly wouldn't go more than 2 kinda obvious... Don't plan on much driver support to help boost your score.
No, that's even worse than dual SLI, your scaling is attrocious, you mention especifically driver 314.21, did you try any other drivers? Something's definitely wrong with your setup. Are you sure your PSU is powerful enough, why don't you post the rest of your specs?
You used two PSUs, right? Quad-SLI is not for 24/7, unless multiple monitor. It also requires dual PSUs for OC, or a minimum of a 1500W PSU, just for stock operation. AVG power consumption is 200W per card, max is about 275W, with no OC. 275x 4 = 1100W. That leaves just 100W for the rest of the system, with a 1200W PSU. Why don't you just mail me two of those cards? I'll put them to good use!
Who are you comparing too? He may have other parts in his rig that is different then what you have in yours that will effect your score, and render comparing yours to his useless.
And don't forget about 92 Amps of power! defiantly need 2 PSU. My PSU has the AMPs but not the Watts.
Why on earth would you get 4 Titans? Anything above 3 is going to do little more than dissapoint anybody. I bet the GPU usage on the 4th was ~50%. That's like paying for half a card xD All that money spent and no liquid cooling???
OC, then OC your CPU, I can tell by your 3DMark Physics and Combined scores that you are running your CPU at stock, and this is why you have a lowered score. Seriously, mail me two of them. I know what to do with them. Nobody else here would have told ya that one, likely, but there ya go. Jealous much? If I had the money to spend, I'd buy 4 of them too.
I just compared to my bro he is USING 4x Titan too but he's driver is 314.07 WHQL one step closer he just USE a ENERMAX 1500W PSU that'S can't better than my HCP1000x2
What CPUs do you guys run? its not that much different then doing one card. just need the water blocks, and the SLI fitting connector to link all 4 cards.
Then like I said, send me two cards. Dual GPU is way easier. Heh, just mail me the whole rig, FFS, you can buy a new one. It's in the 3DMark screenshot. Your bro got a CPU OC? I have not seen his score, but show me a screenshot if his score, And i'll tell you exactly what's different. Not many people here run benchmarks like mad, most prefer to play interactive games, not 3DMark games like me.
There's the answer then, as I posted above. You have not clocked your CPU, have you? You should be getting close to 16k-18k on Physics score if you matched his clocks. I know since that's what I get on my 3960x.
start with 1.325V for CPU voltage, if that's not enough, then you may need to work on it a bit. I can tell by your pictures you are probably using a Corsair H100i as a cooler, you'll need some decent fanspeed for such clocks with that chip. Also, ram @ 2133 MHz or 2400 MHz greatly helps out multiGPU configs. I was even benching 3x 7-series AMD last night. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6261320 I know not many have such configs, since I see that my benchmarks are the only results in 3DMark ORB for such configs, with my own taking the top spot in that link above. Silly stuff, but most users have no idea whe nit comes to such high-end rigs. Your rig cost 3x what most users would eve ndream of spending.
