In Christianity, the Second Coming of Christ, the second advent, sometimes called the parousia, is the anticipated return of Jesus to Earth. The Second Coming belief is based on prophecies found in the canonical gospels and in most Christian eschatologies. Christians generally believe the anticipated event is predicted in biblical messianic prophecies. Views about the nature of Jesus' Second Coming vary among Christian denominations and sometimes among individual Christians.
Most English versions of the Nicene Creed in current use include the following beliefs about Jesus: "...he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. ... We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come."

Several different terms are used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ:
In the New Testament, the Greek word ἐπιφάνεια (epiphaneia, appearing) is used five times to refer to the return of Christ.[1]
The Greek New Testament uses the Greek term parousia (παρουσία, meaning "arrival", "coming", or "presence") twenty-four times, seventeen of them concerning Christ.[2] The word is also used six times referring to individuals: Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus [1Co.16:17], Titus[2Co. 7:6-72] and of Paul himself [2Co. 10:10] [Phil 1:26] [2:12] and one time referring to the "coming of the lawless one".[2Thes 2:9]
The etymology of Greek word parousia is related to para "beside" ousia "presence". In English "parousia" always has a special, Christian, meaning.[3]
In Thayer's Lexicon, the Greek word parousia is defined as Strong's G3952:
...In the N. T. [New Testament] esp. [especially] of the advent, i.e., the future, visible, return from heaven of Jesus, the Messiah, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God.[2]
And in the Bauer-Danker Lexicon:
...of Christ, and nearly always of his Messianic Advent in glory to judge the world at the end of this age.
And in the Catholic Encyclopedia article on General Judgment:[4]
In the New Testament the second Parousia, or coming of Christ as Judge of the world, is an oft-repeated doctrine. The Saviour Himself not only foretells the event but graphically portrays its circumstances (Matthew 24:27 sqq. [Olivet Discourse]; Matthew sqq. [Judgment of the Nations]). The Apostles give a most prominent place to this doctrine in their preaching (Acts 10:42,Acts) and writings (Romans 2:5-16; 14:10; 1 Cor. 4:5; 2 Cor. 5:10; 2 Tim. 4:1; 2 Thess 1:5; James 5:7). Besides the name Parusia (parousia), or Advent (1 Cor. 15:23, 2 Thes. 2:1-9), the second coming is also called Epiphany, epiphaneia, or Appearance (2 Thes. 2:8; 1 Tim. 6:14; 2 Tim. 4:1; Titus 2:13) and Apocalypse (apokalypsis), or Revelation (2 Thess. 2:7 1 Pet. 4:13). The time of the second coming is spoken of as "that Day" (2 Tim. 4:8) "the day of the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:2), "the day of Christ" (Phil 1:6), "the day of the Son of Man" (Luke 17:30), and "the last day" (John 6:39-40).
Adolf Deissmann (1908)[5] showed that the Greek word "parousia" was used as early as the 3rd century BC to describe the visit of a king or dignitary to a city arranged in order to show his magnificence to the people. The Roman Advent Coins struck by the cities of Corinth and Patras for Nero's visit reveals the correspondence between the Greek "parousia" and the Latin "Adventus" and their relationship to the Greek word "epiphany" that means "appearing".
Christian views[edit]
1st century[edit]
According to historian Charles Freeman, early Christians expected Jesus to return within a generation of his death and the non-occurrence of the second coming surprised the early Christian communities.[6]
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
The position associating the Second Coming with 1st century events such as the destruction of Jerusalem and of the Jewish Temple in AD 70 is known as Preterism.[7]
Some Preterists see this "coming of the Son of Man in glory" primarily fulfilled in Jesus' death on the cross. They believe the apocalyptic signs are already fulfilled including "the sun will be dark",[8] the "powers ... will be shaken,"[9] and "then they will see".[10] Yet some critics note many are missing such as "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." (2 Peter 3:10)[11] And "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (Matthew 24:30)[12]
Some, such as Jerome, interpret the phrase "this generation" to mean lifetime of the Jewish race; however, other scholars believe that if Jesus meant "race" he would have used genos (race) not genea (generation).[13][14]
Catholic and Orthodox[edit]
Most English versions of the Nicene Creed in current use include the following beliefs about Jesus: "...he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. ... We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen."
It is the traditional view of Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians, preserved from the early Church, that the second coming will be a sudden and unmistakable incident, like "a flash of lightning".[Mt 24:27] They hold the general view that Jesus will not spend any time on the earth in ministry or preaching.[15][16] They also agree that the ministry of the Antichrist will take place right before the Second Coming.[15]
Respected Orthodox layman Alexander Kalomiros explains the original Church's position regarding the Second Coming in River of Fire and Against False Union, stating that those who contend that Christ will reign on earth for a thousand years "do not wait for Christ, but for the Antichrist." The idea of Jesus returning to this earth as a king is a heretical concept to the Church, equated to "the expectations of the Jews who wanted the Messiah to be an earthly King." The Church instead teaches that which it has taught since the beginning—Christ will not return to earth, rather the Kingdom of Heaven, the New Jerusalem, will be established through the Resurrection of the dead.
The many denominations of Protestantism have differing views on the exact details of Christ's second coming. Only a handful of Christian organizations claim complete and authoritative interpretation of the typically symbolic and prophetic biblical sources. A common thread is the belief that Jesus will return to judge the world and to establish the kingdom of God (fulfilling the rest of Messianic prophecy).
A short reference to the second coming is contained in the Nicene Creed, a prominent Christian statement of faith: "He [Jesus] shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead; and His kingdom shall have no end." An analogous statement is also in the biblical Pauline Creed.[1Cor 15:23].
Some Lutheran, Anglican and United Methodist liturgies proclaim the Mystery of Faith to be: "Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again."[citation needed]
Esoteric Christian teachings[edit]
In Rosicrucian esoteric Christian teaching, there is a clear distinction between the cosmic Christ, or Christ without, and the Christ within.[17] According to this tradition, the Christ within is regarded as the true Saviour who needs to be born within each individual[18] in order to evolve toward the future Sixth Epoch in the Earth's etheric plane, that is, toward the "new heavens and a new earth":[19] the New Galilee.[20] The Second Coming or Advent of the Christ is not in a physical body,[21] but in the new soul body of each individual in the etheric plane of the planet[22] where man "shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air."[23] The "day and hour" when this event shall be, as described in the Bible, is not in the human knowledge domain.[24] The esoteric Christian tradition teaches that first there will be a preparatory period as the Sun enters Aquarius by precession: the coming Age of Aquarius.[25]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints[edit]
Latter-day Saints believe that Christ shall return as it is written in the Bible. Jeffrey R. Holland, one of the Twelve Apostles, wrote, "I testify that Jesus Christ is the literal, living Son of our literal, living God. This Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer who, under the guidance of the Father, was the Creator of heaven and earth and all things that in them are. I bear witness that He was born of a virgin mother, that in His lifetime He performed mighty miracles observed by legions of His disciples and by His enemies as well. I testify that He had power over death because He was divine but that He willingly subjected Himself to death for our sake because for a period of time He was also mortal. I declare that in His willing submission to death He took upon Himself the sins of the world, paying an infinite price for every sorrow and sickness, every heartache and unhappiness from Adam to the end of the world. In doing so He conquered both the grave physically and hell spiritually and set the human family free. I bear witness that He was literally resurrected from the tomb and, after ascending to His Father, to complete the process of that Resurrection, He appeared, repeatedly, to hundreds of disciples in the Old World and in the New. I know He is the Holy One of Israel, the Messiah who will one day come again in final glory, to reign on earth as Lord of lords and King of kings." Full text
Notably Latter-day Saints have particularly distinct and specific interpretations as to various signs presented in the Book of Revelation.
Seventh-day Adventists[edit]
Fundamental Belief #25 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church states:
The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel. The Saviour's coming will be literal, personal, visible, and worldwide. When He returns, the righteous dead will be resurrected, and together with the righteous living will be glorified and taken to heaven, but the unrighteous will die. The almost complete fulfillment of most lines of prophecy, together with the present condition of the world, indicates that Christ's coming is imminent. The time of that event has not been revealed, and we are therefore exhorted to be ready at all times. (Titus 2:13; Heb. 9:28; John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Matt. 24:14; Rev. 1:7; Matt. 24:43, 44; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-54; 2 Thess. 1:7-10; 2:8; Rev. 14:14-20; 19:11-21; Matt. 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 Thess. 5:1-6.)[26]
Jehovah's Witnesses[edit]
Jehovah's Witnesses rarely use the term "second coming", preferring the term "presence" as a translation of parousia.[27] They believe that Jesus' comparison of "the presence of the Son of man" with "the days of Noah" at Matthew 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26-30 suggests a duration rather than a moment of arrival.[28]
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that biblical chronology points to 1914[29] as the start of Christ's "presence", which continues until Armageddon. Other biblical expressions they correlate with this period include "the time of the end" (Dan 12:4), "the conclusion of the system of things" (Matt 13:40,49; 24:3) and "the last days" (2 Tim 3:1; 2 Peter 3:3).[30][31] Witnesses believe Christ's millennial reign begins after Armageddon.[32]
Last Day counterfeits[edit]
Many Christians believe there will be a great deception before the coming of Christ. In Matthew 24, Jesus states:
For at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be. And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened. If anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.—Matthew 24:21, 24 (NAB)
These false Christs will perform great signs and are no ordinary people "For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." (Revelation 16:14) Satan's angels will also appear as godly clergymen, and Satan will appear as an angel of light. "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."—2 Corinthians 11:13-15)
As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, Satan himself will impersonate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Saviour's advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear that Christ has come. In different parts of the earth, Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness, resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation. (Revelation 1:13-15). The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shout of triumph rings out upon the air: "Christ has come! Christ has come!" The people prostrate themselves in adoration before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth. His voice is soft and subdued, yet full of melody. In gentle, compassionate tones he presents some of the same gracious, heavenly truths which the Saviour uttered; he heals the diseases of the people, and then, in his assumed character of Christ, he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and commands all to hallow the day which he has blessed.—The Great Controversy, p. 624[33]
Specific date predictions and claims[edit]
A number of specific dates have been suggested for the Second Coming of Christ. Some of these predictions have passed many decades ago and some are decades away.
Victor J. Stenger notes that Jesus is recorded as saying, " ...there are some standing here, which shall not taste death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom ", Matt 16:28. He makes similar predictions in four other places in the Gospels; Mark 9:1, Mark 13:30, Matt 24:34, Luke 9:27. In Stenger's view, when the coming did not happen within the life-times of his disciples, as Jesus prophesied, Christianity changed its emphasis to the Resurrection and promise of eternal life.[34]
Other views and commentaries[edit]
|Part of a series on
The Ahmadis believe that the promised Mahdi and Messiah (being one and the same person) has already arrived in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908). This is rejected by all other Muslims, who do not regard the Ahmadiyya as Muslims.
The hadith (sayings of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad) and the Bible indicated that Jesus would return during the latter days. Islamic tradition commonly depicts that Jesus, upon his second coming, would be an Ummati (Muslim) and a follower of Muhammad and that he would revive the truth of Islam rather than fostering a new religion.
The Ahmadiyya movement interpret the Second Coming of Jesus prophesied as being that of a person "similar to Jesus" (mathīl-i ʿIsā) and not his physical return, in the same way as John the Baptist resembled the character of the biblical prophet Elijah in Christianity. Ahmadis believe that Ghulam Ahmad demonstrated that the prophecy in Muslim and Christian religious texts were traditionally misunderstood to suggest that Jesus of Nazareth himself would return, and hold that Jesus had survived the crucifixion and had died a natural death. Ahmadis consider Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (the founder of the movement), in both his character and teachings, to be representative of Jesus; and subsequently, he attained the same spiritual rank of Prophethood as Jesus. Thus, Ahmadis believe this prediction was fulfilled and continued by his movement.[35][36]
Baha'i Faith[edit]
Bahá'u'lláh announced that the Return of Christ, understood as a reappearance of the Word and Spirit of God, was manifest in His Person. Baha'u'llah wrote to the Pope, "He Who is the Lord of Lords is come overshadowed with clouds...He, verily, have again come down from Heaven even as He came down from it the first time. Beware that thou dispute not with Him even as the Pharisees disputed with Him without a clear token or proof."[37] He goes on to refer to Himself as the Ancient of Days and the Pen of Glory.[38] Baha'u'llah also said in this connection: "This is the Father foretold by Isaiah, and the Comforter concerning Whom the Spirit had covenanted with you. Open your eyes, O concourse of bishops, that ye may behold your Lord seated upon the Throne of might and glory."[39] Baha'u'llah also wrote,"Say: We, in truth, have given Ourself as a ransom for your own lives. Alas, when We came once again, We beheld you fleeing from Us, whereat the eye of My loving-kindness wept sore over My people."[38] Followers of the Bahá'í Faith believe that the fulfillment of the prophecies of the second coming of Jesus, as well as the prophecies of the Maitreya and many other religious prophecies, were begun by the Báb in 1844 and then by Bahá'u'lláh.[40] They commonly compare the fulfillment of Christian prophecies to Jesus' fulfillment of Jewish prophecies, where in both cases people were expecting the literal fulfillment of apocalyptic statements. Baha'is claim that the return of Christ with a new name parallels the return of Elijah in John the Baptist as stated by Jesus in the Gospels.[41][42]
In Islam, Jesus (Issa; Arabic: عيسى ʿĪsā) is considered to be a Messenger of God and the Masih who was sent to guide the Children of Israel (banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl.[43] The belief in Jesus (and all other messengers of God) is required in Islam, and a requirement of being a Muslim. In some English translated Qurans some translators translated certain verses to allude to Jesus's return. There are no verses in the Quran that foretell Jesus's return specifically or clearly. However only the Hadiths clearly foretell of Jesus's future return such as:[44]
Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43: Kitab-ul-`Ilm (Book of Knowledge), Hâdith Number 656:
The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).
According to Islamic tradition, Jesus's descent will be in the midst of wars fought by the Mahdi (lit. "the rightly guided one"), known in Islamic eschatology as the redeemer of Islam, against the al-Masīh ad-Dajjāl (literally "false messiah", synonymous with the Antichrist) and his followers.[45] Jesus will descend at the point of a white arcade, east of Damascus, dressed in yellow robes—his head anointed. He will then join the Mahdi in his war against the Dajjal. Jesus, considered in Islam as a Muslim (one who submits to God) and one of God's messengers, will abide by the Islamic teachings. Eventually, Jesus will slay the Antichrist Dajjal, and then everyone from the People of the Book (ahl al-kitāb, referring to Jews and Christians) will believe in him. Thus, there will be one community, that of Islam. Sahih Muslim, 41:7023
Sahih al-Bukhari, 3:43:656: Narrated Abu Hurairah:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (Mariam) (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts)."
After the death of the Mahdi, Jesus will assume leadership. This is a time associated in Islamic narrative with universal peace and justice. Islamic texts also allude to the appearance of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (known also as Gog and Magog), ancient tribes which will disperse and cause disturbance on earth. God, in response to Jesus's prayers, will kill them by sending a type of worm in the napes of their necks.[45] Jesus's rule is said to be around forty years, after which he will die, (according to Islam Jesus did not die on the cross but was taken up to heaven and continues to live until his return in the second coming). Muslims will then perform the Salat al-Janazah (funeral prayer) for him and bury him in the city of Medina in a grave left vacant beside Muhammad.[44]
Judaism believes that Jesus is one of the false Jewish Messiah claimants because he failed to fulfill any Messianic prophecies, which include:
- Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
- Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
- Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)
- Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world ― on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).[46]
Regarding the Christian idea that these prophecies will be fulfilled during a "second coming," Ohr Samayach states "we find this to be a contrived answer, since there is no mention of a second coming in the Jewish Bible. Second, why couldn't God accomplish His goals the first time round?"[47] Rabbi David Wolpe believes that the Second Coming was "grown out of genuine disappointment" and invented by Christians to theologically compensate for Jesus' death.[citation needed]
Paramahansa Yogananda's commentary[edit]
In modern times some traditional Indian religious leaders have since moved to embrace Jesus as an Avatar, or incarnation, of God. In light of this, the Indian guru Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, scribed an extensive commentary on the Gospels published in 2004 in the two-volume set The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You.[48] The book offers a mystical interpretation of the Second Coming in which it is understood to be an inner experience, something that takes place within the individual heart. In the introduction of this book, Yogananda wrote that the true Second Coming is the resurrection within you of the Infinite Christ Consciousness. Also stated in the Book of Luke - "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21)
Daya Mata wrote in the preface of The Second Coming of Christ that the "two-volume scriptural treatise thus represents the inclusive culmination of Paramahansa Yogananda's divine commission to make manifest to the world the essence of original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ." In sharing her memories of when she wrote down his words, she shares - "the great Guru, his face radiantly enraptured, as he records for the world the inspired exposition of the Gospel teachings imparted to him through direct, personal communion with Jesus of Nazareth."[48] Larry Dossey, M.D., wrote that "Paramahansa Yogananda's The Second Coming of Christ is one of the most important analyses of Jesus' teachings that exists....Many interpretations of Jesus' words divide peoples, cultures, and nations; these foster unity and healing, and that is why they are vital for today's world."[49]
In January 1946, Theosophist Alice Bailey prophesied that Christ (who is regarded by Theosophists as being identical with the being known by Theosophists as the Maitreya) would return "sometime after AD 2025".[50]

Weisman visits an extraordinary range of the world's cultures, religions, nationalities, tribes, and political systems to learn what in their beliefs, histories, liturgies, or current circumstances might suggest that sometimes it's in their own best interest to limit their growth. The result is a landmark work of reporting: devastating, urgent, and, ultimately, deeply hopeful.
By vividly detailing the burgeoning effects of our cumulative presence, Countdown reveals what may be the fastest, most acceptable, practical, and affordable way of returning our planet and our presence on it to balance. Weisman again shows that he is one of the most provocative journalists at work today, with a book whose message is so compelling that it will change how we see our lives and our destiny.read more
This hard-hitting documentary charts the sad and sometimes scary state of affairs in America's food industry. Director Robert Kenner presents interviews with farmers, ranchers, and chicken farmers who are increasingly being squeezed out by large and powerful corporations (like Monsanto who over the past decade has increased its share of the soybean market from 2% to 90 %). In addition to exerting control over the nation's food supply, Big Agriculture has the clout to influence the regulatory agencies which are supposed to protect the consumer. On the one hand the public has more choices in the marketplace (bigger-breasted chickens and insect-resistant soybean seeds); on the other, they are getting sick from the food they eat as new strains of e coli cause illness in an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. In 1972, The FDA conducted 50,000 food inspections and in 2006, the number was down to a dismal 9,200.read more
Food for Life draws on L. Shannon Jung's gifts as theologian, ethicist, pastor, and eater extraordinaire. In this deeply thoughtful but very lively book, he encourages us to see our humdrum habits of eating and drinking as a spiritual practice that can renew and transform us and our world. In a fascinating sequence that takes us from the personal to the global, Jung establishes the religious meaning of eating and shows how it dictates a healthy order of eating. He exposes Christians' complicity in the face of widespread eating disorders we experience personally, culturally, and globally, and he argues that these disorders can be reversed through faith, Christian practices, attention to habitual activities like cooking and gardening, the church's ministry, and transforming our cultural policies about food.read more

Part One in this series considered the notion of "God," or "gods," as the single most elusive idea the human imagination has ever concocted or tried to fathom. But we typically constrain ourselves, thinking only in theistic terms; and fashion our notion of "God" in an anthropomorphic image so we can more easily relate to the idea. We ascribe to such a being all kinds of desirable characteristics that might comprise this composite character. The Christian then proceeds to incarnate that idea with a Christology in which Jesus is typically construed as mediator and chief negotiator; to the extent such a savior is willing to atone for all our wretchedness and secure our own immortality in another existence. It's all pretty fanciful stuff. But for those progressives for whom such a construct is no longer viable or credible, it is not simply a question of what remains amidst the theological rubble, but what more, or other, might yet be discovered? As such, we ask how we might speak of such things. What language might we use?read more

I do not believe there is such a thing as a just war anymore, if there ever was one. Our weapons are too destructive and wars are seldom about territory or borders. They cannot be decisively won. Today wars are mostly about ideology and religion. They are about culture. Certainly we have not been winners in the last three wars which we have initiated and participated in. There are far more meaningful and sophisticated ways to deal with conflict today. We could do better if we developed different attitudes and skills at conflict resolution. It would also help if our leaders knew a little more about the history and cultures of the areas in which we get involved.read more
It has been both an emotional and a political roller-coaster. The television newscasters and the print media informed us that a political debate was underway as to whether or not the armed might of this country should be used to punish the Syrian government for violating the universal condemnation against chemical warfare that has governed the world since the horror of gas in the trenches in World War I. Pictures were released of small children, who had been the victims of sarin gas. The pictures were chilling. I enquired of a medical expert about the effects of sarin gas on the human body. He shuddered even to talk about it. His sentences were short and declarative. "It is deadly." "There is no protection." "Suffering is intense." "Death is inevitable." For almost one hundred years, despite brutal wars, both worldwide and local, with weapon enhancements like atomic power and cruise missiles, the prohibition against chemical warfare has still been generally adhered to by the nations of the world until this moment. Now the Syrian government has breeched this taboo, in an action widely believed to have been ordered by its president, Bashar al-Assad. I did not disagree with the official statement of facts and yet the debate itself struck me as deeply irrational.read more
Our nation is currently embroiled in a contentious debate over the Syrian regime's alleged use of chemical weapons, and what should be the appropriate response by the U.S. and the international community. Public opinion polls comprising an odd coalition of liberal peace-nicks, a war weary citizenry and political antagonists who oppose in knee-jerk fashion most all of the President's proposals, all suggest strong opposition to our country's military involvement of any kind in yet another Middle East conflict. Regardless, the underlying question and dilemma remains. Is there a moral imperative to act? If so, how? What is the justification for a violent response to a deplorable, unjust and violent act?read more

text: I wonder what the consensus is here about who had the better jab between Sonny and Larry. My take is that Liston's jab was probably stronger and more thudding than Larry's, but, on the other hand, I believe that Larry's was a little faster and utilized more consistently and efficiently than Sonny's. Larry pretty much generated all of his offense off the jab, whereas Sonny sometimes did a lot of chasing trying to land a big punch and forgot about his formidable jab. What's your take?

Battle of the Bulge class offered through HCC
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Mon, 01/22/2007 - 1:00am
Hagerstown Community College Center for Continuing Education presents a course on the country's greatest battle of World War II, the Battle of the Bulge. This class, taught by Jeff Driscoll, will be held on Thursdays beginning March 1 through March 22 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the HCC Valley Mall Center.
Driscoll will discuss the background of the war, the German preparation for the enormous Bulge attack and America's failure to detect the preparation, the efforts of U.S. soldiers to hold back Hitler's military machine, the eventual counter-attack that forced the Germans to give up all that they had gained, and how U.S. soldiers proved they were as good as any in the world.
Cost is $65. Senior adult fee is $40. Class size is limited to 20, so please register early by calling 301-790-2800, ext. 236.

SSL enables browsers to communicate with a web-server over a secure channel that prevents eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery. You should always use SSL for login pages where users are entering usernames/passwords, as well as for all other sensitive pages on sites (for example: account pages that show financial or personal information).
Configuring SSL on Windows with previous versions of IIS has been a pain. Figuring out how to install and manage a certificate, and then associate it with a web-site, is something I bet most web developers don't know how to enable.
The good news is that IIS 7.0 makes it radically easier to configure and enable SSL. IIS 7.0 also now has built-in support for creating "Self Signed Certificates" that enable you to easily create test/personal certificates that you can use to quickly SSL enable a site for development or test purposes.
Using IIS 7.0 you can SSL enable an existing web site in under 30 seconds. The below tutorial demonstrates how to-do this.
We'll start by creating a new web-site using the new IIS 7.0 admin tool. This admin tool is a complete re-write of the previous IIS admin tool (and was written entirely in managed code using Windows Forms), and provides a more logical organization of web features. It provides a GUI admin experience for all ASP.NET and IIS settings:
To create a new site on the box, right click on the "Web Sites" node in the left hand tree-view pane and choose the "Add Web Site" context menu option. Enter the appropriate details to create a new web-site:
One nice feature of IIS7 on Windows Vista is that you can now have an unlimited number of sites on a box (previous versions of IIS on Windows Client only allowed 1 site). The 10 simultaneous request limitation on Windows Client versions of IIS also no longer exists with IIS 7.0.
Once we've completed the above steps, we will now have a brand new site running on our IIS web-server.
Before binding SSL rules to our new site, we need to first import and setup a security certificate to use with the SSL binding.
Certificates are managed in IIS 7.0 by clicking the root machine node in the left-hand tree-view explorer, and then selecting the "Server Certificates" icon in the feature pane on the right:
This will then list all certificates registered on the machine, and allow you to optionally import and/or create new ones.
I could optionally go to a certificate authority like Verisign and purchase a certificate to import using this admin UI. Alternatively, I can create a "self-signed certificate" which is a test certificate that I can use during the development and testing of my site. To-do this, click the "Create Self-Signed Certificate" link on the right-hand side of the admin tool:
Enter a name to use for the certificate (for example: "test") and hit ok. IIS7 will then automatically create a new self-signed crypto certificate for you and register it on the machine:
To SSL enable the web-site we created earlier, select the web-site node in the left-hand tree-view, and the click the "Bindings" link in its "actions" pane on the right-hand side of the screen:
This will then bring up a dialog that lists all of the binding rules that direct traffic to this site (meaning the host-header/IP address/port combinations for the site):
To enable SSL for the site, we'll want to click the "Add" button. This will bring up an "add binding" dialog that we can use to add HTTPS protocol support. We can select the self-signed certificate we created earlier from the SSL certificate dropdownlist in the dialog, and in doing so indicate that we want to use that certificate when encrypting content over SSL:
Click ok, and we now have SSL enabled for our site:
Add a "default.aspx" page to the site, and then try and hit it with the browser by typing https://localhost/default.aspx (note the usage of "https" instead of "http" to indicate that you want to connect over SSL).
If you are using IE7, you'll likely see this anti-phishing error message kick in
Don't panic if this happens - it is just IE being helpful by suggesting that a self-signed certificate on your local machine looks suspicious. Click the "Continue to this website" link to bypass this security warning and proceed to the site. You'll find that your default.aspx page is now running protected via SSL:
You are all done. :-)
A few last SSL related notes:
For more information on IIS 7.0, please read my earlier IIS 7.0 overview blog post. Also make sure to check out the www.iis.net website.
To read more of my "Tips and Tricks" blog posts, please visit my Tips and Tricks Summary Page.
Hope this helps,
this looks easy on IIS 7
Scott this is a GREAT addition. I've already put this to use on a few occasions over the last few months.
It's so easy you'll never want to go back to the hassle that it was to do in IIS 6 and earlier. I've done it maybe twice and I'll be damned if I can remember the steps. thankfully I won't have to anymore...
When testing SSL using self signed certs, I generally add the site to my "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" in IE to avoid seeing the phishing warning.
In addition, if you are testing a local service that calls a webservice on the site running the self signed SSL, you will need to add the site to the "Local Computer" Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
Obviously one should do this only for *self* signed certs.
Being able to do this much more easily is fantastic for IIS 7! How about a post on creating and using self-signed certificates in IIS 5 and 6 for those of us still using Windows XP and 2003?
What's great about this with its lovely screen shots is it also shows the consequences of putting a self-signed certificate out on a production site (as a lot of academic and D-Space sites have been doing).
Of course, I suppose their recommendation on getting rid of the browser alarms will be "Don't Use IE," as usual. Actually, I use this behavior of academic operations as my litmus test of academic IT programs not to ever recommend to students or businesses that might happen to ask me.
Joe Chung,
Here you go:
I run into this so many times, if there were a way to grab a property or method name that is type safe it would be so cool. Granted this would just be a compiler trick but at least the code would not compile if you make a typo.
Whatever syntax you use is fine and this would be something like typeof only for methods and properties and even if it just returned a string it would be very useful.
Love your channel9 interviews and blog.
Sounds great, but what about IIS 7 behind ISA? Any easier than the dance needed to get IIS 6 published via SSL behind ISA?
Hi Mike,
Have you seen my latest blog post on Lambda expressions? That might be one way to accomplish this: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/04/08/new-orcas-language-feature-lambda-expressions.aspx
Hi Joe,
Good question about ISA. To be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure of the changes there - but will see if I can find out from the team.
Scott, do you know if setting up SSL with host headers is possible from the new admin? The admin images show the 'Host Header' field grayed out. For IIS 6 you can set up Host Header ssl from the command line, but I was hoping it would be possible with the IIS 7 admin.
Hi Lynn,
I just sent mail off to the IIS team to see if I can get an answer for you.
Stay tuned,
Scott, any word from the IIS team about SSL host headers from the IIS7 admin?
Thanks Scott, great post.
Any idea's on getting rid of the security warning in IE7. I've added my self signed cert to the 'trusted root certification authority' to both current user and local machine and I'm still getting the warning.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS came eyeball to eyeball with sweeping immigration reform Tuesday, and they blinked. No matter that a bipartisan group of senators including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a favorite of the Republican right, has endorsed a pathway to earned citizenship. In a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, GOP members still could not reconcile themselves to the prospect that undocumented immigrants might one day become full-fledged Americans.
Instead, they groped for some probationary status — a legal limbo — into which 11 million people, many of whom have already lived in the United States for a decade or more, might be indefinitely slotted. Anything to avoid charting a course for what many Republicans regard as the dreaded amnesty.

Turns out, Dads are good for something after all
With all the exhaustion of a middle aged man, my five-year-old son declared that he was struggling to get to sleep. He didn't know precisely why. He was forlornly resigned to his fate. But it would surely be nice if slumber was an easier bedfellow.
Amen to that brother. I know exactly what you mean.
Leaning over, seizing an opportunity to impart fatherly wisdom, I told him the answer was lists. Try and name every kid in your class and keep count. Name as many TV shows as you can and keep count. Before you are half way through your first list, I assured him, you will be fast asleep.
The next morning he looked me in the eye and said that lists work. Dads were good for something after all.
As a foreign affairs portfolio holder sleep is now an enduring preoccupation of mine. As I traverse time zones and attempt to work, jet lag has become my constant foe.
Meticulously I wake up early on the day of my departure in order to induce the necessary tiredness to sleep on the plane. I refuse the meals I shouldn't eat and give firm instructions not to wake me for breakfast.
I use caffeine to get me up and a night cap to put me to sleep. But when it is all said and done I always end up in the same place: 3am in my hotel room, totally buggered, but I just can't sleep.
It is in this moment, in the depth of the night, that I have discovered the comatosing effect of the list: the capitals of Africa, the periodic table, or the name and number of recent Geelong premiership players.
But there is one list which has had more slumber success than any other: airports I have visited.
In 1993, having just finished university, I was backpacking in Vietnam and Laos with a close friend, now a Labor colleague. In need of a distraction to pass long hours on trains, planes and automobiles, we played endless hands of German Whist and engaged in meaningless competition.
The most significant and competitive contest was who had landed at the most airports.
At about fifty apiece the scores were even. As we parted ways for the return home I picked up an extra airport putting me one in front. My mate was not pleased. And so began a contest which has now been running for almost twenty years.
It is a competition so fierce that we have barely avoided litigation.
Having the occasion to visit the oil fields of Bass Strait, my competitor was helicoptered into three off-shore rigs and attempted to claim each of them as an airport. Fat chance. You'd need a runway and wings for that.
A month later, as a guest of the US Navy, my mate was flown onto the USS Stennis, a passing aircraft carrier about an hour's flight south of Adelaide. He assured me that both a runway and wings were present. Bugger.
Last year, in Bangladesh, I was taken in a seaplane to the Ganges River Delta to visit an island which was being helped to adapt to climate change with support from Australian aid. As we came in for a perfect landing on the water I texted my rival right then to claim the airport. An immediate text returned saying that he was happy to count seaplanes given he'd been on three. Double bugger.
In an age devoid of jousting, the need for men to engage in needless competition is given expression in many ways. For us it is airports.
My friend moved on in the world and began to travel far and wide across Australia visiting obscure airports in every outback town. He built a big lead in our competition which in turn stopped being much fun.
But then I was appointed the Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs and I have since made a spectacular comeback. Suddenly counting airports has become eminently satisfying.
Whether it is the list or the contentment that comes with triumph, airports are definitely helping me to sleep.
Now I know that in a year or two fortunes may change. At that point I will need to turn to other lists - golf stats, my current rose bush audit, Star Wars characters - to put me to sleep when slumber is an elusive friend.
But lists really do work in the middle of the night and it felt good to teach Harvey that. And nothing is more fun than beating a mate in contest and that critical paternal advice will have its day as well.

Mahhrat says:
So that's why we do it.
I like the article well enough, but it astonishes me how this isn't more common knowledge than it appears to be.
Philosopher says:
Now we have read an edited extract from Richard's memoir, my appetite is whet! Please Richard, tell us more of your fascinating travails… you sound both sophisticated and down to earth… I can't wait to get the juicy details of your stalking the alleys of power for so many years. And modest too! Is a signed copy of your book too much to ask?
Gregg says:
Well, there you go Richard, I have something in common with you, backpacking around Vietnam and other parts in 1993 though not a small enough world that I can recall coming across any Aussie looking a more youthful you, I there earlier in the year and if you were there following Uni studies, is it you were there later in 1993.
What a memorable year though, Bombers had won the pre season comp if I recall and I had not been keeping up with results so much in about three months abroad and was mighty surprised on returning to Oz terra firma to find them up near the top, the year of the baby bombers it was and also first night final they lost against Carlton by 2 points.
My elation was punctured at that point but then a win against West Coast and a come from six goals down against the Crows at half time ( and Crows scoring first two after half time had me considering leaving to make use of the golf clubs in the boot of the car ) had the bombers meeting up again with Carlton in the GF, a game the bombers always looked like winning, a good clout of Milhan Hanna by Wallis in the pocket to take the ball, a mark was it? and to swing around to goal from the Richmond end northern pocket rememborable but still nerves aflutter even with a five goal lead in the last quarter.
Luckily, sleep has never been too much of an issue for me.
Joan Bennett says:
Richard, if only all Dads were like this! If I had a dollar for ever Dad I'd met who was a controlling nutcase who made life hell for their kids and the Mother of said children while they lived under the same roof. Perhaps if these guys took up more competitive activities with other men, they would not feel the need to dominate women and children? Even my own Father had to repress his natural urge to rule our house (including his wife) with an iron fist when we were all growing up (I can understand doing that with children, but not your adult partner). Luckily, he knew it wasn't good to behave like that (perhaps that's a generational thing?) and did repress that part of himself. It's one of the reasons I chose not to have children - couldn't imagine shackling myself to someone like that for 18 years. Thank goodness we have the choice these days! My poor Mother's generation (she was born in 1939) had to go down the traditional path…
Some Dads are excellent, but I don't know why the majority I've met feel the need to do the controlling thing and stalk the woman if she leaves. Crazy world we live in…
Bob Amery says:
thanks Richard it's reassuring to know that our taxes which pay for your presumably business class globetrotting also allow you to come up trumps in your game of undergraduate one-upmanship
only a career politician would write such a piece and not expect working people to recoil
I hate pies says:
I always compete with my mates, and more importantly, I always win…whatever it takes
David V. says:
Sadly, decades of leftism and feminism have undermined the irreplaceable institution of the father (in the UK we now have a class of single mums leaching off taxpayers' money). Fathers are unfairly treated by courts- and then you wonder why we have such disparities in statistics like alcoholism, mental illness and suicide.
ted says:
Be nice to hear a man in the ALP say something in defence of Tony Abbott as a father ......
Gman says:
Talk about grandstanding….fair dinkum. Finished Uni then went all over the place travelling, then Slater and Gordon, then into the labor party..naturally.
Never lived a normal taxpayer day in your life. Give me a break please. We all wish we had your problem and had time for 'Lists' all over the globe.

A thoracic spine x-ray is an x-ray of the twelve chest (thoracic) bones (vertebrae). The vertebrae are separated by flat pads of cartilage that cushion them.
Vertebral radiography; X-ray - spine; Thoracic x-ray; Spine x-ray; Thoracic spine films; Back films
The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office. You will lie on the x-ray table in different positions. If the x-ray is checking for an injury, care will be taken to prevent further injury.
The x-ray machine will be moved over the thoracic area of the spine. You will hold your breath as the picture is taken, so that the picture will not be blurry. Usually two or three x-ray views are needed.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. Remove all jewelry.
The test causes no discomfort. The table may be cold.
The x-ray helps evaluate:
The test can detect:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays.
The x-ray will not detect problems in the muscles, nerves, and other soft tissues, because these problems can't be seen well on an x-ray.

I received a question this week from Steve Emmert asking me which players are on my buy low list, and which are on the sell high. So this week I'll focus on buy low candidates and next week I'll address the sell high side. Some of the buy low targets might actually be free agents in some leagues, so if that's the case, just consider them nice pick-ups instead of trade targets.
Ladislav Nagy – After an awful start that led to him being a healthy scratch for a couple of games, he has scored seven points in the last six games. Nagy is a very talented player who doesn't always put up the effort so his fantasy owners are probably very nervous about the fact that he was benched early in the season. However, it looks like coach Marc Crawford has ignited his fire so don't hesitate to make a bid for him.
Tuomo Ruutu – Ruutu has the talent to become an 80-point player, if he stays healthy, which is a big IF of course, but he did manage to stay healthy last season after missing the first 10 games. The Hawks are an extremely talented young team and as Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews become NHL superstars, they'll upgrade Ruuttu's value dramatically. He's a great buy-low in keeper leagues.
Marian Hossa, Slava Kozlov – The Thrashers are a complete mess right now, but once the team settles the coaching situation things will return to a more normal state and players like Hossa and Kozlov will produce as expected.
Ed Jovanovski – The window to acquire him at a low price is closing fast following his two-point outing during the last game, but it could also be seen as an opportunity to unload him by his owner. Jovocop is a 40 to 50 point producer when healthy and odds are good that he'll be traded to a better team before the trade deadline.
David Vyborny – Vyborny is not really a player to targer specifically since his upside is limited, but if you're looking to make a multi-player trade and can get Vyborny as a throw-in because of his slow start, you can gain a 60-point player for next to nothing. And if he's a free agent in your league, he's certainly worth picking up.
Patrick Elias – I wrote about Elias last week and I talked about him on Sirius radio last Saturday. I believe in Elias and I also think now is the perfect time to acquire him at a really low cost with all the negative news surrounding him.
Patrick Marleau – I am worried about Marleau. He received a lot of flack during last year's playoffs and there were numerous trade rumors involving him during the off-season so his psyche probably isn't all that great this season. However, he has scored 28-plus goals in four straight seasons, so his 13-goal pace is way too low to even be considered as par for the season.
Jonathan Cheechoo – Cheechoo is on the same goal scoring pace as Marleau, but remember last year's slow start and the fact that he finished with 37 goals and go after him if his owner is tired of him.
Michael Ryder – Ryder can be very streaky so there's a good chance that the goal he scored during the last game is the beginning of a hot streak after a horrible start.
Brendan Shanahan – Although he's now 37 years old, Shanahan is second in the league behind Henrik Zetterberg in shot on goal. Those shots will start going in sooner or later.
Shane Doan – Doan has six straight seasons of 20 to 30 goals, including three straight of 27 goals or more. He's no superstar and his upside is very limited in Phoenix, but he can be counted on when all is said and done. But act quickly, since he scored his first goal of the season along with two assists last Saturday so his fantasy owner might see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Jordan Staal – This is mainly a keeper league recommendation. With only one goal and two points thus far this season, Staal is a great buy-low candidate. It's no surprise to see his production slip this season since his 29 goals were an anomaly considering he had only 131 shots on goal last year. However, his long term upside remains very high and I still think the Penguins will wake up one of these days and put him on the top two lines where he can start producing like a no.2 overall draft pick.
Yahoo! Position eligibility
Following up on last week's column about position eligibility in Yahoo leagues, here are a few notable additions that were made by Yahoo during the past seven days.
Pavol Demitra (RW Added LW) – I mentioned last week that it was about time to give Demitra eligibility at left wing. Mission accomplished.
Jozef Stumpel (C Added RW) – His 50 to 60 points weren't interesting at center, but now to be considered at right wing.
Martin Straka (C Added LW) – Great value when he returns from injury in a few weeks.
Petr Prucha (C, RW Added LW) – Not going to have ay value if Nigel Dawes continues to do so well while Straka is out.
Phil Kessel (C Added RW) – Kessel could benefit greatly from Patrice Bergeron's one-month absence.
Erik Cole and Dustin Brown (LW Added RW) – Solid players even more so with added flexibility.
Milan Michalek (RW Added LW) – Will become an 80-point player when shakes inconsistency bug.
Pierre-Marc Bouchard (C Added RW) – Was barely worth a notice at center, now a very attractive right wing.
Brad Boyes (C Added RW) – I am not surprised by his rebound in production and while his goal scoring pace will relent, he'll remain very valuable as a right-winger.
Michael Cammalleri (C Added LW) – A superstar as a left-winger.
Antoine Vermette (C Added LW) – Wasn't worth it at center in shallow leagues, but on the wing he should be owned in all leagues.
Jason Williams (C Added RW) – Same as Vermette.
Brian Rolston (RW Added LW) – Flexibility is just added bonus.
Tuomo Ruutu (C Added LW) – As discussed above, really valuable as a left-winger.
Vaclav Prospal (C Added LW) – His season debut is for real, he's continuing the high-low cycle of the past five years. Since 2001-02, his point production has been 55-79-54-80-55. So you can expect an 80-point season.
Dustin Penner (RW Added LW) – His struggles were totally predictable and I don't expect him to pick things up any time soon.
Tomas Holmstrom (LW Added RW) – Having a career year, but will slow down quite a bit.
Dany Heatley (RW Added LW) – Ok, it doesn't change his value since he was already a top five player, but it's nice to have the added flexibility if you own him.
Industry Experts league
The Experts' league is a good indicator of free agents to target, but it's particularly useful to identify players who shouldn't be owned in many leagues since it's a 15-team league with 19 players per team (plus 2 IR spots). So if a player doesn't make the cut in the Industry Experts' league, he probably shouldn't make the owned in your league. So I encourage you to visit the league and it'll give you an idea of players to target and players to avoid.
Hot pickups this week included Devon Setoguchi who's all about upside at the moment and Dany Sabourin who has done well with limited the playing time he has received this season.
Questions for the Frog
We have 2 spots available for IR. I have Wellwood, Sullivan and Tucker. I have to let one go, who should it be? – Ken (Canada)
FROG: Sullivan's a point-per-game player so you absolutely must keep him on, particularly since he's on target to return in December. Wellwood has the potential to be a point-per game player, but hasn't done it over a full season yet and the fact that he's a center compared to Tucker who plays right wing would tilt the balance in the favor of keeping Tucker, particularly if you count penalty minutes. However, since Wellwood is expected back soon, you're better off keeping him if you need someone who can help you out sooner rather than later.

Seasons greetings from TALUG!
As many of you know, TALUG has loaned out books in the past. These books have been free to borrow with the promise that they be returned at the next meeting so that others may have a chance to borrow it as well.
Unfortunately, due to us not keeping track of who we lent books out to, and not asking folks to bring them back in, we're now down to only a few books left in our library.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask any of you who borrowed books from us in the past to please bring them back at the next meeting. We would like to build up our library again, and in the future, once we have enough books, we will be implementing a system to keep track of who has which book.

I love making this soup throughout the fall and winter. It's filling, healthy and stores well. Perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread.

No time to cook? Try this quick little number! Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done and sure beats a bag of potato chips, nutritionally! ;-) [Created 2007-09-05.]

My 12 year old loves making this recipe. I recommend using vegan friendly options when available and adjust the bouillon granules to your liking, or better yet, use vegetable stock that you've made!
