This past week in Hidden Gems, I interviewed Dr. Nejat Seyhun, author of the outstanding book Investment Intelligence from Insider Trading. I asked him his opinions about the Martha Stewart case and, by extension, about insider trading laws in America.
The full transcript runs more than 20 pages, with Dr. Seyhun outlining when insider trading is predictive of future stock price movements. What follows here is an abbreviated version of the interview, during which he explains the basics of insider trading.
Tom Gardner: Nejat, can you simply define for us who is an insider in the public markets?
Dr. Nejat Seyhun: It is said, as defined by law, to be officers, directors and more than 10% shareholders. So a company usually designates who the officers are. They become insiders. They typically have corporate-wide decision responsibilities. They're probably sitting on some executive committee as well. So it doesn't go by title; instead, it goes by function. And the company decides who will be considered an insider. So in different companies they have a different number of executive officers who are considered insiders.
Also, anybody who owns more than 10% of any equity class of security would be considered an insider.
Tom: We have heard a lot about insider trading courtesy of the Martha Stewart conviction and the effects on her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
Dr. Seyhun: There are various sections of the Securities Exchange Act that define illegal insider trading activity. For instance, Section 10B basically states that it is illegal to either buy or sell shares, equity shares or any class of equity shares, in any public company if you are in possession of material non-public information. So what is material and what is non-public? That's left up to the courts to decide. So it's a judgment call. If I know something is material and unknown about the business, and I buy or sell in possession of that information, then I'm violating this particular section of the code.
There are other sections that regulate things like short swing profits, short selling, and so forth, but the main weapon in the SEC's arsenal is Section 10B.
Tom: Nejat, I'm constantly hearing and reading about money managers that dig around everywhere for every little bit of information they can get. Where is the line drawn? If they find something material, I perceive that they view that as a golden opportunity to buy. In fact, in observing some of these money managers, I'm convinced they would have sold ImClone
When I hear a money manager say "Yes, I spoke to the CFO" or "I spoke to the head of marketing at a cocktail party" or "I'm friends with him from years back; he's in my network of people that I talk to as an investor and I picked up this little bit of information about the company," is what they're engaging in illegal? It seems like a very gray area.
Dr. Seyhun: Of course, Tom, it depends on specifically what the CFO or CEO said to that person, but I would agree with your characterization that it falls in a gray area. If the executive is expressing personal feelings or wishes, well, that's probably OK. If, however, the executive is relaying some corporate announcement that would be forthcoming, that is definitely not OK. Information on certain specific events, like rejection of a drug by the FDA, that's definitely material inside information. And that's what apparently prompted Waksal to sell. That would clearly be illegal for Waksal to trade.
Tom: Right. With Waksal, that's about as clear as it gets.
Dr. Seyhun: Right. The question, though, is if somebody else, say, a money manager simply found out that Waksal was selling and they sold, would that be illegal? My feeling is no. If somebody just found out that he was selling and they didn't know why he was selling, they didn't know about the drug rejection, then the fact that they would imitate Waksal by itself is not illegal.
Tom: Your exhaustive work studying 21 years of insider trading data is something I use in my stock research in Hidden Gems. One interesting sidenote that I picked up is that you concluded from your work that one-fifth of the price move from a takeover occurs before the announcement is made.
Dr. Seyhun: Right.
Tom: Do you think that's an indication of information leaks in advance of buyouts? There must be something illegal going on here. Is it really just educated speculation by outside investors? Or do you think there is illegal insider trading happening here routinely?
Dr. Seyhun: We haven't been able to nail down exactly what percentage is what, but they're both present. Sometimes you'll read in the financial press that two companies are talking to each other about a possible merger, with no immediate announcement. The speculation begins then. That can happen. Of course, though, there is leakage of insider information leading to illegal trading.

Top 6 Benefits of Chrysanthemum Tea
Chrysanthemum tea is a flower-based infusion beverage which is made from chrysanthemum flowers of the species Chrysanthemum morifolium or Chrysanthemum Indicum, and this tea is really popular in East Asia, especially China. Unlike various other herbal teas, that use just the leaves of a plant as a way to brew the beverage, chrysanthemum tea infused hot water with full flowers, which release an array of antioxidants, organic compounds, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and soothing chemicals into the mixture, making a delightful and very nutritious drink! The color of this tea is pale to bright yellow, depending on the strength of the tea and how long you've steeped the flowers. Its medicinal uses are actually well known for generations, making it highly desired by natural healers. Below are presented some of the best health benefits which this tea can offer.
Health Benefits of Chrysanthemum Tea
1. Immune System Boost. Chrysanthemum tea contains Vitamin C and Vitamin A in high concentrations, and both of these vitamins are crucial for immune system health. Vitamin C stimulates the production of white blood cells and works as an antioxidant to protect against free radicals. There are even numerous minerals in chrysanthemum, like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, all of these are necessary for a healthy immune system.
2. Heart Health. Chrysanthemum tea has been linked to lower blood pressure by studies, and also aid in relief from a coronary artery health problem. By reducing blood pressure as well as cholesterol levels, as per some reports, this tea can be a long-term preventative measure for a lot of different cardiovascular issues, like heart attacks and strokes, and even atherosclerosis. This lowered blood pressure is mainly caused by the potassium content of the tea because potassium is a vasodilator.
3. Improve Eye Health. Chrysanthemum tea could also be good in dealing with eye problems, like improving the sight acuity of people who have faltering vision. Herbs 2000 reports that chrysanthemums possess a very long history of being used to treat blurred vision, spotty vision as well as watering eyes. Drink chrysanthemum tea if you have sore, dry or red eyes from reading a lot or from working hard in a front of computer for long period of time.
4. Prevent Osteoporosis. We don't often hear about tea being ideal for bone health and for the prevention of osteoporosis, but chrysanthemum tea's mineral content stands apart in lots of ways. The extract of chrysanthemum has been identified to enhance the conditions of bone mineral density loss, therefore start drinking this tea while you're young, to ensure that you can be active and healthy when you're old!
5. Anti-inflammatory Capacity. As an anti-inflammatory agent, chrysanthemum tea is very useful for reducing swelling in the throat and reducing irritation in the lungs. Consuming this tea when you're sick is a smart choice because it helps protect the body from infection and inflammation in several ways. A couple of the most frequent conditions where chrysanthemum tea is used are redness and itchiness of the eyes, congestion, respiratory conditions, sore throats as well as headaches!
6. Skin and Aging. Chrysanthemum tea contains a significant amount of beta-carotene which breaks down into vitamin A to serve numerous purposes in the body. Vitamin A acts as an antioxidant in lots of ways thereby eliminates oxidative stress and damaged cells in organ systems around the body. Chrysanthemum tea is being used for a long time topically for this reason, because it can clear up skin irritation, redness, and chronic conditions, for example, eczema and psoriasis. It can also help to generally lessen the aging signs, as well as wrinkles and blemishes, as a result of the antioxidant content of the flowers.
Some Words of Caution: Some individuals could experience allergic symptoms when exposed to chrysanthemum tea, especially if they are allergic to ragweed or daisies. Usually, the symptoms are mild, ranging from skin rash to itchy eyes or throat. Of course, avoid use in case you have these allergies. Likewise, in the event you try to use concentrated chrysanthemum oil for an even more effective treatment, keep on caution, as the oil is highly concentrated and very powerful!

The Apostle writes to the Ephesians about God's heart for solidarity between the Jews and Gentiles, "He Himself is our peace who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall." What a brazen statement in that day! The bold truth that God wants us to live as good neighbors in community together hasn't changed. How do we break down the "Us and them" wall that divides those who have from those who don't? Join them. It's what our overnight volunteer, Paul, is doing.
"About 6 months ago my wife dropped me off at the Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Mission. Oh, no, she wasn't mad at me. I had decided to volunteer so I could help people in need. I began seeing things I had never imagined. I started interacting with the residents; I wanted to get to know them. Surprisingly it was like looking into a mirror. The difference between us was a little bad luck, or a few bad decisions. More often than not I had been in the same situations and just had a more fortunate outcome. I volunteered so I could help people in need. I just didn't realize that it was me who needed to be broken and remolded."
Paul is one of many who have discovered this biblical truth: It's more blessed to give than receive. He is one in a fleet of volunteers who fill more than 700 shifts at the mission every month.

Last week we learned of a lot of casting news for Rob Zombie's upcoming 31 with E.G. Daily, Daniel Roebuck, and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs set to join Torsten Voges for the onscreen mayhem, and now two more have joined the ever-growing cast with Zombie taking to his Facebook page to reveal that GOODBYE GEMINI and THE LORDS OF SALEM actress Judy Geeson and "American Horror Story" and "Grimm" actor David Ury have signed on to join the fun of 31.
Rob Zombie's 31 goes like this:
Five random people are kidnapped on the five days leading up to Halloween and held hostage in a place called Murder World. While trapped inside this man-made Hell they must fight to survive playing the most violent game known to man... a game called 31.
31 has no rules. 31 has no boundaries. It is ever so simple. Do whatever you can do to kill your opponent before they kill you. Keep this up for 12 hours and freedom is yours. Who are the opponents? Well... a group of vile, filthy, blood-thirsty clowns known as THE HEADS. They come in all shapes and sizes and each grows nastier than the last.
Geeson has joined the production as Sister Dragon, one third of the team running Murder World and boy is she having fun. Ury will be playing SCHIZO-HEAD, one half of murderous team of brothers living inside Murder World.

This week's OpenYourMind seminar will be given by Vittorio SANSALONE, Associate Professor in the biomechanics team of the Laboratoire Modélisation et Simulation Multi Echelle (MSME UMR 8208 CNRS) and coordinator of the scientific theme "Biomaterials" of the CNRS international laboratory (LIA) Coss&Vita. The seminar will be held this Friday, 14/10/2016 between 1:30 pm and 3 pm in Amphi Fournel at ENSAM ParisTech (151, Boulevard de l'Hopital, 75013 Paris). The seminar topic will be "Image-based multiscale modeling and simulation in bone biomechanics".
Vittorio Sansalone's research activities focus on bone biomechanics, aiming at elucidating the relationships existing between cell environment, microstructure and mechanical properties of bone using theoretical modelling and numerical simulations. The lecture will outline some recent advances in image-based modeling and simulation and discuss the opportunities and challenges offered by multiscale approaches to describe bone mechanical properties. A special emphasis will be put on the issue of uncertainty quantification in multiscale modeling, drawing lessons from statistics and probability to take into account uncertainty in experimental data.

"I was pretty ignorant before I went, and probably still am. I try to keep an open mind before I go anywhere, and I didn't go there specifically to take photos of conflict. I just wanted to see a little of the place myself. Most of my scant knowledge about Israel & Palestine had come from Western media which often amplifies US attitudes and policy so I read local papers such as Haaretz and Jerusalem Post, and also Palestinian media regularly before I went. The Jerusalem Post is horrifyingly one-eyed while Haaretz seems more balanced.
I was really shocked. It was soon after the Gaza ceasefire so there weren't any tourists, and my hotel was empty. The tension was palpable. I saw instances of Israeli armed forces treating Palestinians with contempt; Orthodox Jews aggressively marching through the Muslim quarter expecting locals to move out of their way. There were a couple of bomb scares; I was shoulder-butted out the way by a monk in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and yelled at by a nun there too. I witnessed Israeli soldiers preventing people from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque on holy days; there were sporadic sounds of gunfire and sirens; the check-points and separation wall are inhuman…. and so it goes on.
Media reporting seems very biased. As an example, in the last few days, the following fairly typical events occurred in Palestine but weren't reported in Western media:
- March 05 – Israeli Soldiers Kidnap Five teenagers at Deir Netham village Near Ramallah
- March 05 – Extremist Israeli colonialists infiltrated al-Mogheer village near Ramallah and Burn two Palestinian Cars
- March 06 – Israeli Soldiers Attack Palestinian Police Officers Near Ramallah
- March 07 – Child Shot & Seriously Injured by Israeli soldiers Near Ramallah
- March 8th – Many Injured By Israeli Army Fire Near Ramallah, Some Seriously
Interesting for me was the open friendliness and hospitality of Palestinians in places like Ramallah , Hebron and Jericho which I found to be in sharp contrast with the general vibe in West Jerusalem.
Small things stand out still. I was staying in a small guest house in East Jerusalem which was owned by a Christian Palestinian family. One evening in the café, I sat next to a Christian woman with a gold crucifix necklace who was drinking a beer and sharing a shisha pipe with her Muslim friend who was wearing a hijab. In contrast, earlier that day, Shadi, my Palestinian taxi driver had insisted that I wear a keffiyeh while we were driving near the Jordanian border because he was worried that people would think that I was an Israeli settler."
Q. There is an unusual personal/family background to 'Across the Hooghly', which took you to Kolkata in that 25 years earlier your sister gave up her career as an investment banker and became a nun with Mother Theresa's Missionaries of Charity. I understand you travelled out there close tot eh time and caught malaria, travelling back only recently to shoot this series. You have taken the 'anti-touristic' approach and seem to have delighted in losing yourself in the backstreets and obscure places that tourists would never see. Why did you take this approach and what influenced or determined the photographs you took?

A few months ago , WhatsApp was briefly suspended in Brazil.
A Brazilian court has frozen 19.5 million reals (£4.5m, $6.07m) of Facebook's funds in a dispute with secure messaging service WhatsApp over a criminal case.
The federal police say Facebook, which owns WhatsApp, has refused to share the contents of messages sent by suspected drug smugglers.
They need the data to connect those captured with others based around the world, Reuters reported.
Facebook declined to comment.
The frozen money is the equivalent amount that the company has been fined for "disregarding the law" over a period of five months, reports local news agency G1.
The funds have been blocked from Facebook's account because WhatsApp doesn't have a bank account in the country, the report claims.
WhatsApp is very popular in Brazil, and is reported to have roughly 93 million users in the country .
In March, Facebook's vice-president for Latin America, Diego Dzodan, was arrested after the firm failed to co-operate with court orders in a drug-trafficking case.
At the time Facebook described the arrest as an "extreme and disproportionate measure".
"Facebook has always been and will be available to address any questions Brazilian authorities may have," the company said.

One woman.
She loves one man.
Two men in love and pursuing her hand in marriage.
One man refuses to pursue until the man she loves disappears.
The other is encouraged to pursue and does so, causing much pain.
Both attempt to outdo the other in declaring themselves the most in love. One that he has right of longevity, the other that he has more need - and who he's supported by. Both continually put down the other, citing all the reasons why they could not POSSIBLY be in love as much as themselves.
One even tried to make the woman pick between them as to who she would go to when the man she loved finally left.
I've been in love. I am in love. And I know that no love deserves being put down, mocked or undermined. Something neither of those guys learned.
Apart from lust. Which is falsely classed as love. And a selfish love.
A love that demands proves only one thing. That you love only yourself. It is a selfish love that cannot let go for the best of another.
True love lets go of everything for the best of the other.
The woman tried to pacify both of the guys and ended up in a pretty big mess.
God's pretty much her only help. And He did in a miraculous way.
Love lets go. Even though it hurts.
And love never boasts means that it doesn't go around telling the other person, I'm doing this for you.
When you would gladly die for someone else, it doesn't mean a storybook agonising death where the loved one ends up with a sweet sadness in having been died for. It doesn't mean drowning your own pain in a death to make the other person regret you.
Laying down your life for someone is living day to day with your pain, fighting your despair and praying and working to turn it into a thing of beauty.
Love is the most powerful thing in the world.
Like all good things, it is distorted by Satan.
And it can destroy you, if you let it eat away at you like a cancer, or it can make you shine.
Love is not your personal possession.
Love is God. God is love.
And He gives true love as a gift.
In Christ,
~Mademoiselle Siân

Here we are, my children's new toy. Well not really new, the two mermaids and the sea-horse were mine as a young child and the seashell came from a sweet I ate looooong looong ago! I didn't want to give N. and T. just my old toys, so I made a small pond with fish that can move underneath the surface.
There are three layers: the cotton fabric, blue fleece and blue organza fabric. In between the fleece and organza are the little fish and above a small lily-pad.
This toy is meant to be taken around, during our summer trip to France for instance, so I also made a small pouch for it. I was also a good excuse to use my KAM again ;)

Could love be so simple? Maybe it is really. Maybe if I had done this and didn't do that. It would have been so much better. It wouldn't have come to this. It would be far away where the laughter I hear would be by my hand. Not this…tightening of the chest and cold apathy that dwells within.
But then…
Nothing is ever so simple when you start to feel for it. Nothing is ever so simple when all you could do is wish and try the best you can for that magic to never end. Being the person who I am, how could I ever want it to stop? How could I ever stand by and watch it stop?
People may argue that all good things will come to an end.
But what is end if you don't fight for it?
I don't know. I may sit around here arguing to myself my need to fight. But in the end…it's not that I don't want to fight. It's that I only want that magic back. To see you smile and laugh because of who I am…rather than tear yourself up inside for where I'm not. Even though I know yes…past is the past, but we both know you and I see and can't shake it for two different reasons.
Like opposing sides of the coin we see a good and the bad.
A dream and a reality.
Could we ever move past that to what we want? Could we realise inside what we really need?
In some ways Anita Blake makes it so simple doesn't it? Even though her own love life is torn between the men she loves. Even if Edward is more screwed in his false social life than us. Neither of them can run away from their own problems. Neither of them can bury themselves in the work they put in because it'll always come back to them. One way or another it will always come back to them. Whether at a point of a gun or by will alone.
It never was that simple.
Everyone bleeds.
It's just a matter of how.

January 8, 1862 (Wednesday)
As secessionist Missouri clung to the fading hope that General Price could retake the state, bands of recruits still flooded towards his main body in Springfield. One of the finest recruiting agents was Col. John Poindexter. He and his 800 Rebels, along with a similar number of raw recruits, had encamped along Silver Creek, near Glasgow in Randolph County.
When the Union cavalry made their way through Glasgow the previous day, they learned the general location of Poindexter's camp. Gathering 500 cavaliers, Major W.G.M. Torrence, of the 1st Iowa Cavalry, moved out from his camp near Fayette early in the morning. After riding fifteen miles north to Roanoke, they continued north, in the direction where the camp was rumored to be.
Around 3pm, four miles from the headwaters of Silver Creek, they encountered Rebel pickets and drove them quickly back to the outskirts of their camp. When the Union troops gathered before the Rebel camp, they could see that Poindexter had selected a fine spot for defense, being protected by thick underbrush and ravines.
Torrence's Union cavalry came under immediate enemy fire, which they returned promptly. Feeling that they had an advantage, three companies of the 1st Iowa charged the Missourian camp and sent the whole force scattering in a wild panic. Two other companies were ordered to swing towards the back of the camp and cut off the Rebels' retreat.
The winter dusk fell swiftly over the camp and battlefield, as a thick fog coated the ground. The darkness and muted visibility allowed most of the Rebels to escape.
In making their hasty retreat, the Missouri State Guard left behind blankets, clothes, 160 horses, sixty wagons, 105 tents, 200 guns, fifty kegs of gun powder, and other various accouterments. Losses on both sides were light, each suffering around five killed. As was typical, Torrence exaggerated the number of enemy wounded and dead, reporting that "it cannot be less than 80 to 100." He did, however, capture twenty-eight prisoners.
With Col. Poindexter and his men sent scampering into the foggy night, Torrence and his command rode twenty-three miles back to their camp. Secessionist recruiting in Randolph County had been stopped.1
Grant Prepares for War
To create a diversion and to keep Confederate troops in Western Tennessee from reinforcing their friends in Eastern Tennessee, General Halleck, commander of the Department of Missouri, had ordered General Ulysses S. Grant to make a demonstration in the direction of Murray, Kentucky, about fifty miles southeast. He was also told to somehow involve Commodore Andrew Foote's flotilla.
Grant received the dispatch in the morning and by nightfall, he was able to organize the troops, the gunboats and create a plan. While he followed Halleck's instructions for a diversion to the letter, it is surprising just how ready he was for battle.
First, he would send three gunboats down the Mississippi River, towards the Rebel stronghold of Columbus. An additional pair would cruise up (heading south) the Tennessee River. Some infantry would accompany Foote's gunships, but the majority would march under General Charles Smith for Mayfield. After being joined by cavalry and two more regiments of infantry, they would threaten Murray and hopefully lead the Rebels to believe that he was about to attack Fort Donelson, near Dover, Tennessee.
To cover his rear, Grant would also cover the ground between Fort Jefferson and Blandville, ensuring that no Rebels would attack from Columbus. Since the rains of the past week had worsened the roads, Grant concluded that he would send two transports full of troops down the Mississippi with the three gunboats.
"This movement will be carried out tomorrow," wrote Grant to Halleck, who had given Grant no deadline and was, himself, still waiting to hear from General Buell in Kentucky about when to launch the diversion.
Whether it was out of duty, boredom or his own spirit, Grant was almost immediately ready to do battle.2
Davis Chastises Gov. Jackson
President Jefferson Davis' reply to Missouri's secessionist governor, Claiborne Fox Jackson, was harsh and to the point. Though he remained the gentleman, the strains of the office, the war and the past year were wearing upon him.
Governor Jackson wrote the President from the comforts of New Orleans, after fleeing his own state. He bitterly complained that even though Missouri was officially a Confederate state, she had been abandoned by Richmond. General Sterling Price, commander of the militia, had begun to transfer his soldiers to the Confederate Army. However, there was no place, as of yet, for him (Price) within that army. Jackson was campaigning for Davis to appoint Price the commander of the Western Department.
In his reply, Davis ignored Jackson's request concerning Price. In fact, he mentioned him not at all. Jackson had complained of Richmond's delay, but Davis appeared to not understand what Jackson was talking about. Perhaps, mused Davis, Jackson was complaining about Richmond "not appointing a general before we had troops for him, or in not appointing him to command your militia, and in not having an organized army in your State when you have not furnished to me a regiment; and now when we want muster rolls, to send me only your reasons why the Missouri Volunteers may not be willing to enter the service of the Confederate States and contribute to make up the army which is needed to defend Missouri."
Davis was also unable to understand how Jackson could complain about Richmond not coming to Missouri's aid. "You seem only to remember what others have not done," Davis pointed out, "else in enumerating the privations of your own militia, not mustered into the Confederate service, you would have mentioned the relief afforded to them by the agent of the Confederate Government, sent by me with money to cover more than the objects you and General Atchison originally specified."
As a final, parting jab, it seems as if Davis could not resist calling Jackson out on his new, cushy home in New Orleans. Davis wrote that he was sending his reply to Memphis rather than to New Orleans "under the expectation that you will return to that place or to Missouri, and take the occasion to renew my request for the tender of any armed troops which you may be able to offer to the Confederate States for the common defense or for the local defense of Missouri."3

New equations for calculating residual stress distribution are derived from the theory of elasticity for tubes. The initial distribution of the stresses including the shearing stress is computed from longitudinal distributions of residual stresses measured by the X-ray methods at the surface after removal of successive concentric layers of material. For example, the residual stresses of a steel tube quenched in water were measured by the X-ray diffraction method. The new method was also applied to a short tube with hypothetical residual stress distribution. An alternative finite element analysis was made for a verification. The residual stresses computed by finite element modeling agreed well with the hypothetical residual stresses measured. This shows that good results can be expected from the new method. The equations can also be used for bars by simple modification.

Jor'lo Dosene
Visual Age:
Sexual Orientation:
Body Frame:
Blood Type:
Sound of Voice:
Deep, sort of nasily
Jor'lo Dosene is six foot two, has shoulder length black hair, and has red eyes. His hair comes down and covers his eyes, making him seem mysterious. Each of his arms are Three feet, one inch long, and they have a diameter of four inches. Most of his height is in his legs, for each leg is Four feet, five inches long. They each have a diameter of one inch near the ankles, to a diameter of five inches on the calves. His chest is a foot and a half wide, and his torso is six inches wide, with a six pack on his stomach.
Jor'lo's clothing choice is normal. He wears the standard shinigami attire. With size twelve sandals. He wears his Lt sash on his right side.
His face is rather unique. His red eyes are bright, yet dark. Giving them a lively, yet evil appearance. His pupals are actually those of a cat's eye's, narrow and verticle. His nose is some-what pointed, with both a narrow bridge and a narreow tip on it. Though his nostrals look sort of flared when up close. His mouth looks as if it is in a perminant smirk, even when the one lookinbg at his lips is pretty far away from him. The only thing about him that shows his softer side is his eyebrows, which are positioned in a way that if he bacame upset, it would be very apparent.
Usually Extrovert, but if he is meditating he does not want to be
disterbed so he becomes an Introvert
Likes and Dislikes:
- Meditating, strategy, and his friends
- People who hurt his friends, going berserk
Jor'lo has a calm and relaxed attitude, he does not believe in rash actions.
Jor'lo would rather sit and listen in a conversation then actually contribute to it. The only thing thatdoes make him very rash, and very angry, is when his freinds get hurt. Jor'lo does not have a problem getting in a fight, but he preffers not to. He would rather talk out his problems, or if that was not possible, simply destroying his enemy before they had a full blown fight. His commrads say that while he is calm, he is also fierce when he needs to be.
Jor'lo is a great thinker, his strategys are almost always unbeatable. He looks at a fight the same wayas he would a chess game, always three moves ahead of the opponent. While this does help him often, it does make him vulnerable to an unpredictable opponent. He doesn't know how to fight someone he can't predict, he is too used to being able to use a strategy.
Though Jor'lo may not speak much, when he does his words are always profound, always wise. He is a greatspeaker, when he needs to be. This earns him much respect in the Soul Sociaty. While his words may be wise,his actions are not as wise when he can't control his emotions. When his friends, or anyone he cares about, are threatened he becomes violent, and sometimes even chaotic. He dreads this, because then he usually can not control his actions, and he will drop all attempts at strategy.
Now, Jor'lo may protect his friends, but when it comes to the subject of love, he is distant and harsh. This is not due to him not believing in love, on the contrary, he believes love is a beautiful thing. No, this is due to his past. Jor'lodoes not wish to love because he does not wish to bew hurt again. After his first love died he was heartbroken almost to the point of insanity. Only the Soul Society has saved him from insanity, and he wishes to never be that close to it again.
Defining Characteristics:
His love for his friends, his strange taste in clothes, and his
battle knowledge.
Fighting type:
Jor'lo Dosene was born in the seemingly peaceful Karakura town. Jor'lo was an average
child in every way, or so people would think. There was one secret that his parents kept hidden from the world,
he said he saw monsters everywhere. Now I know what you're saying, "Monsters? Children see those all the
time when they're younger, it's no big deal." But you are wrong, so wrong. For you see, what Jor'lo thought was
monsters, and what he told his parents where monsters, were really hollows. Yes, as a human child Jor'lo was
able to see hollows. As the years past he continued to tell his parents whenever he would see one of these "monsters",
and they became increasingly more worried by the year. At the age of twelve and he was still complaining, his parents
put him into therapy. At fifteen? His therapist sugested he be put into a mental hospital.
Jor'lo was in that mental hospital for a full year and he saw no monsters. Finally they were going to let him out, it was
the happiest day of his life! For the first time in a year he would be able to roam free! And then the unthinkable happened,
in his last group therapy session he was looking around, it was twenty minutes from his release and he wanted OUT OF
THERE. Then he saw it, the very first monster he ever saw, the one that seemed to eat what looked like the soul of his
twin sister when she died at the age of three. It was in the corner of the room, just staring at him, with a blood thirsty look
on it's face. Jor'lo couldn't believe his eyes, WOULDN'T believe his eyes,. He would not believe that the monsters were
back! Then it happened, the monster started slowly for word, and Jor'lo's eyes widened in fear. Is he after me? he ate
my sister, now does he want ME?
But alas, no he did not. which was even worse for Jor'lo. The monster came right to the opposite corner of the room, and
when Jor'lo looked there he could not believe it, there was a person there! As jor'lo watched the monster started to
consume the person whole, and the blood curdling screams coming from the person told Jor'lo that it was very painful. Yet
when he looked around the room he saw that no one could see them! finally he could not stand it, "Are you all going to just sit
there on your lazy asses or are you going to HELP this man! He is being eaten alive by a hidious monster!" Jor'lo screamed,
pointing straight at the gorry and discusting seen. "What man? What monster?" Said the doctor watching the group therapy
session. "Jor'lo, you have been so good, all year you haven't seen one monster, why now?" The doctor said with a look of
concern on his face.
Jor'lo watched as the monster consumed the man, and as the doctor called in the men in white and their knock-out needle.
I have to help this man, but i can't do ANYTHING, not against this monster. Then he heard something he had only heard
once before, the day his twin was eaten by this very monster. [i] But you CAN do something Jor'lo, just do what I say.
He jumped when he heard the voice, but he didn't argue. If this voice was able to help him save this man, then by all means
he was going to let it help him. The voice said, Point your finger straight at the monster and say, "Hell fire!"
Slowly, hesitantly, he brought his finger up, but some how he knew he had to say the words without any breaks so he said with an air of
confidence, "Hell fire!" Suddenly a flame shot out of his finger and engulfed the monster, who promptly spit the man out.
The man seemed unharmed, if a bit shaken. But that did not concern Jor'lo right now, what DID concern him was him hearing his sister's
voice yelling out, "Thank you Jor'lo! You have set me freeeeeeeee..........." And then it cut off.
Jor'lo awoke three days later in his room at the mental hospital. No! No I will not stay here for another year! I am through with this place,
I want OUT!! Jor'lo thought, and this time, he got an answer. You do not have to stay here, use your new power to get out. Just say,
"I shall escape through the flames of the abyss." And you will turn into fire and be able to escape through even the smallest opening.
Jor'lo did not hesitate in the slightest. The voice had helped him before, why would it be any different now? "I shall escape through the flames
of the abyss." Jor'lo whispered in as low a voice as he could. Jor'lo then began to slowly become a flame, he then moved over towards the
barred window and floated his way down. As he touched down on the ground outside of the walls of the mental hospital he returned to human
form, and emediatly became exaughsted. But he could not stop there. If someone saw him there passed out they would bring him back to the
hospital, and that he could not have. Jor'lo walked half a mile before he saw an abandonded farm house, not two miles away from his old home.
I shall sleep here tonight and then tomorrow i will be home. He thought to himself.
The next morning Jor'lo felt refreshed and revitalized. He quickly walked the two miles to his home, and then stopped dead in his tracks. His house,
it was not there! It looked burned to the ground! then he heard the voice again, for the last time while he lived. I am sorry Jor'lo, this is all my
fault. I did this, but i did not mean to. Jor'lo.......your family is dead. They're all dead. They were burned alive in this very house. Let me explain, see
the day they dragged you off to the mental hospital, that same monster that you just deffeated four days ago was here. He has been following you
just out of your sight sense your sister was consumed by him. Just after they knocked you out, for a split second the wall in your soul that held me back
was down. So I took the chance, I knew that if anything were to ever happen to you and this monster was still following you it would consume you too.
And I could not allow that. Unfortunatly I could not move your arm so I just shot, your finger looked lined up with him. But I was wrong, terribly
terribly wrong. The fire shot out and missed the monster completly, it burned the whole house to the ground. I am so sorry Jor'lo, can you ever forgive me?
No, Jor'lo could not. Jor'lo locked the voice away and vowed to never let him out as long as he lived.
Nine years past and Jor'lo was living by himself up in the mountains, no monsters bothered him up there. It was his birthday, but he did not see it as that
way. He saw this day as his family had been murdered by the very monster that was inside of him. There was only one person he ever talked to, the
female mountain climber, named Kahia, that sometimes came up this mountain. She liked Jor'lo, he could tell, but he refused to leave this mountain. Kahia
was supposed to climb up here today to spend his worthless birthday with him, but something was wrong. She was always there before noon, yet by the
fancy watch Kahia had given him on his last birthday it was already one o' clock. Jor'lo was getting scared, no matter how much he refused to come off
this mountain with her he still cared for her deeply. He would say he loved her, but he refused himself that emotion because it could unlock the cage
the monster inside him resides in. Thirty minutes passed and he was getting frantic, he started looking over the edge of the flat area he lived on looking
for her. Finally he couldn't stand it, he had to go down there and find her. There was only one problem, he did not know how to climb and when he came
up here he dropped rocks on the path he took to ensure that he could not go back down, what was he to do?
There was only one solution, but he hated it. He had to call upon the one thing he promised himself he would never call upon again, the voice. Slowly he
started to mentally unlock the cage the voice was in, but only enough so that he could hear it. Jor'lo said to it, You! Monster! You who murdered my
family, I vowed to never let you out again, but I am in dire need of your powers. I shall make a deal with you, if you promise me that no matter what you
will not use your powers through me unless I am controlling them, then I shall release you from your cage. Do we have a deal? Jor'lo asked the voice,
sternly but with a hint of fear and anxiaty. You locked me in this cage for nine years..........and i do not blame you for it. I am a monster for
murdering your family, even though it was an accident, and i am sorry for it. I accept your deal, on one condition. You must stay off this mountain, and if
Kahia is still alive, you must make yourself happy and marry her. Agreed? Jor'lo thought about this for what seemed like years to him, but was
really only a few moments. Even with the voices promise to not do anything alone he still did not trust himself, but he really had no choice. He had to get
down there and see what had happened to Kahia. Agreed. Jor'lo finally said. As he thought it he flew the cage door wide open, letting the voice
enter his conciousness once more. He then spoke the words he only spoke once before, "I shall escape through the flames of the abyss!" As his body
turned into flames he quickly floated downwards, the high winds up here were starting to put him out.
When he reached the ground tears came to his eyes. There, lying on the ground, broken and dying was Kahia. Jor'lo turned human and ran full speed to her.
Gentally he lifted her head in his hands and looked her in the eyes. She then said, "Jor-Jor'lo? Y-you came d-down off your m-mou-mountain. W-why?
For me?" Jor'lo kissed her softly and said, "Yes my love, I came for you. I knew not where you were so I came down off the mountain, and not a moment
too soon. Come, if we hurry i can bring you to a hospital and you will live." As he said this he started to lift her gently from the ground. AS he did she
screamed in pain, she could not be moved. "Jor'lo, Jor'lo please! The pain, the pain is too great!" She screamed out. Jor'lo quickly put her back on the
ground and once again held her head up. "What can I do, Kahia? How can I save you?" Jor'lo asked pleadingly. She looked him straight in the eyes and
said with her very last breath, "You.................can....................not..........." As the last word passed by her lips the light left her eyes. But then something
astonishing happened, as Jor'lo held her he watched as what looked like a shadow of her stood up from her body. As it stepped away from the body it
solidified, and then looked at him with sadness. Jor'lo heard her say, "What has happened? I died, i can see Jor'lo holding up my dead body's head right there,
and yet I am alive! Is this the after life? Can Jor'lo see me? Mabye if I......" Her eyes then widened with horror. As Jor'lo looked behind his back he saw a
massive beast, larger than the monster he killed was.
"No, no! You shall not consume her soul foul beast! I shall not allow it!" Jor'lo said as he stood up and stood between the monster and his love's spirt. He pointed
his finger straight at the beast and said, "Hell fire!" Blasting a flame straight towards the beast. As the flame crashed into the beast head-on Jor'lo
growled and called out to the voice, Voice! Help me! I must save her spirit! And as soon as he did the flame got larger, causing the beast to stagger backwords.
But it was not enough. The flame stopped soon after and all that happened was it had burned off an arm, which promptly grew back. The beast then pounced on
him, breaking his rib-cage and piercing both his lungs and his heart with broken ribs. The last thing he saw before slipping into unconciousness was what looked like a
man with a sword popping out of no-where and lunging straight for the beast.
As Jor'lo awoke he looked araound, he was in the exact same place accept the beast and Kahia were gone. And something else that he could not believe, He saw his
body lying lifeless not ten feet away. He had died! The beast had killed him! Jor'lo looked around and saw the man with his sword out looking around, Jor'lo presumed
he was keeping watch. Finally Jor'lo got the courage to sit up and say, "Who are you? What are you doing here? What was that thing? Where is Kahia?" When he
finished the man looked around, he looked worn out, from behind Jor'lo would have said he was an old man judging by the white hair but from the front he saw that the
man looked young. Finally after what seemed like an hour the man spoke, "I am Hakudoshi Rentai, Captain of the 6th division of the Gotei 13, chief of police for the
Soul Society. That monster is what is called a hollow, the feast on souls to become stronger so they can eventually become either arrancar if they are accepted by the
traitor Aizen, or they become what is called a Vasto Lorde, the strongest form of a normal hollow. Your friend, I believe you called her Kahia? she is now at the
Soul Society, or at the least on her way there. Nothing can harm her now. I will be sending you there soon too but first i wanted to ask you something. Before I got here,
while I was a little ways away, I saw you shot flames out of your finger, were you an advanced human?" Jor'lo looked at him quizickly, he had no idea what that was. So
that is what he said to him, "I do not have a clue what that is. All I knw is I have, or rather had, this voice in my head that talked to me and gave me these weird powers.
The man, Hakudoshi, Looked at Jor'lo strangely, then shook his head. He said to Jor'lo, "I am going to send you to the Soul Society now, when you get there you
should see more men with swords but they will have all black clothes on, tell them that I said you are to go to my office. If they do not believe you show them this." He then
gave Jor'lo a necklace, which Jor'lo put on his neck. Then the man was gone.
When Jor'lo told the other men what Hakudoshi said to him they did not believe him, until he showed them the necklace. they then brought him to an office and told him to
wait there. Jor'lo waited for what seemed like a week but for some reason he did not get tired, hungry, or even thirsty. Finally Hakudoshi came in. He sat behind his desk
and looked Jor'lo straight in the eye. He said, "You are special, you were an advanced human. Do you know what that means? it means you were a human with powers,
powers that work on beings like us Shinigami and the hollows. And now you are here, in the Soul Society, and you will make a fine Soul Reaper. Would you like to join
the academy?" The very blunt and unexpected question hit Jor'lo hard, would that mean he would become like Hakudoshi? Jor'lo did not know. but there was one thig he
did know. He said, "Before I answer you, I need to ask you something. You said you sent Kahia here,m correct?" Hakudoshi smiled and said to him, "Well, yes and no.
She is here, just not in the Soul Society. She is in the Rukongi, with all the rest of the non-Soul Reaper Shinigami." Jor'lo looked at Hakudoshi and said, "Then for right
now I must humbly refuse. I must go to this Rukongi and find her, for she is my love, even in death." As he said this he stood up and started to walk out. As he did
Hakudoshi called back to him, "Know that the offer will always be open to you, no matter how long you wait.
For a thousand years Jor'lo wandered the Rukongi looking for Kahia, he would not give up. He knew he would find her, if only because he knew he would not stop looking
until he did. His search had given him a few leads, but they had all come up with nothing. He didn't know what to do anymore, he would continue to look, but where could
he look that he hadn't looked already? He Had went everywhere in the rukongi, except for the bad part of town, where all the Soul Reaper-haters lived. It was his last chance,
so he decided to go. As he walked over there he sensed someone following him, he figured it was nothing, just the jiters for going to the area that hates the very thing has
wanted to become, so he didn't worry about it. As he continued to walk he started to see a figure lurking in the shadows behind him. Now he was on his guard, though he didn't
show it. Jor'lo continued to walk but kept an eye out behind him. When the figure was no more than five feet away Jor'lo ducked behind an ally wall and waited. As the person
came around the corner Jor'lo tackled them, then his eyes widened when he saw who it was! As he ripped off the mask she was wearing he gasped, it was Kahia, she had found HIM.
"K-kahia, I've been looking everywhere for you!" Jor'lo stammered as he got off of her. "I've looked for you for the last thousand years! where have you been?" As he said this
he started to help her up from the ground. She looked at him and said, "I know, i have been following you for the last decade. I didn't aprouch you because.......I was afraid."
She said as she dropped her head in what looked like shame. "I-I just couldn't face you, i just couldn't." Jor'lo gentally brought her head up, and kissed her warmly. "Why?
Why couldn't you face me?" He asked. "What did you do that you couldn't face me?" She tried to look away, but could not. So she looked in his eyes and said, "I-it's all
my fault you died. I was in a hurry to see you and I forgot my safety gear. That's why i fell, that's why......." But she could not say anymore, for Jor'lo was kissing her too
tightly and passionatly. Finally they broke contact and Jor'lo said, "I do not care why you fell, i'm just glad you're safe. if i couldn't find you, if something had happened to you,
i do not know what i would have done." Jor'lo said looking deeply into her eyes.
Seems like a simple enough love story, right? Girl meets boy, girl falls in love, boy won't let himself fall in love, boy finally falls in love and the live happily ever after, right? That's
the story everyone wants? Well i'm sorry to disapoint you, but nothing ever stays this happy. now to continue with the story. So, Jor'lo had finally done it. Had found his love.
As he promised Hakudoshi he returned to the Soul Society at this time and went into the academy. In the academy his most prominent classes were sword-on-sword fighting,
and tactics. Melee actually was his best class, the only instructors he couldn't beat in a sword fight by his graduation was the Captain of squad 11, and the Captain Commander
of cource. In tactics he exceled also, reaching co-top of the class by his graduation. His only problem was kido, he believed that kido was for weaklings who didn't want to get
dirty sword fighting. So he kind of disapointed his instructors there, he only was able to do up to kido #29 by his graduation. One thing his instructors were very excited about
though, he reached shikai very early in his instruction. It happened very weirdly, one day while in the middle of a spar between Jor'lo and the 9th division captain, Jor'lo was
getting his butt handed to him like he always did against this captain, when the voice came back! After all these long years, it was back! At first it was small and insignificant,
like a misquito. But it grew louder, and louder the more Jor'lo ignored it, until finally Jor'lo heard it scream out just as he was knocked to the ground and was about to lose.
Jor'lo! Jor'lo use me! At that Jor'lo jumped, he hadn't heard that voice in over a thousand years! Jor'lo, I was once a voice in your head that gave you powers.
or so you thought. I was NEVER that, I was always a part of you, a part of your soul. I am impressed by your progress so far, so I will allow you to use my powers. My name,
is Rosokaku. Simply say the word inferno to use me. Now fight Jor'lo, fight! Jor'lo hesitated, this voice betrayed him once before when he murdered Jor'lo's family, but Jor'lo
did want more power. And from what he heard was a Zanpakto this voice DID seem to meet the deffinition. So Jor'lo dicided to trust the voice, for now. "Inferno!" Jor'lo yelled,
bringing his has together at the hilt of his sword, he did not know what had urged him to do that, but something did. he assumed it was his Zanpakto. As he took his hands a part
a strange thing happened, his sword began to change! First, the sword split into TWO swords, and the hilts shortened. Then the blade itself changed, on the second sword the
color was oppisite on the whole thing, and they both had lengthened and curved, creating scimitars. As Jor'lo swung them around a few times they felt perfectly balenced, simple
extentions of Jor'lo's arms. The 9th division Captain seemed very happy. He said, "Very good Jor'lo! You have achieved shikai! Let us test out your new abilities." At that the captain
lunged at Jor'lo, and Jor'lo was able to dodge it! Before the Captain was so fast he couldn't even see him, now he was not slow exactly, but Jor'lo could reract to his attacks!
Jor'lo smiled and launched an attack of his own, the captain DID block it, but he staggered back a little. The Jor'lo heard the voice again, In shikai your strength and speed are
doubled, and you have a power which you just might remember. Point your sword at your opponent and say the words Hell fire, do you remember that? Jor'lo did, and he smiled.
He pointed his right sword at the captain, started to walk forword, and yelled out "Hell fire!" releasing a pillar of flame from the end of his sword. It caught the captain off guard, and even
scorched his arm as he tried to escape, but then the captain had seen enough. the captain decided to end the battle. As the captain escaped he ended up on Jor'lo's right side and stabbed
straight out, luyckily Jor'lo was prepared and he was able to deflect it so the stab didn't pierce any internal organs, but he was knocked to the ground. The captain put his sword to Jor'lo's
neck and said "Dead. but you did really good, iI am proud of you. You are ready for graduation."
True to his word the captain set up Jor'lo's graduation soon after. Jor'lo was held in high regard, it was difficult choicing a division for him. Finally the Captain Commander spoke. "Jor'lo,
you have done very well, you have earned all of our respect. we have given you your position based on how you did in the academy. You did very well in all strength and tactics assignments,
while in kido you were lacking. so we have decided to put you as the third seat in the 9th division. We all hope you serve us well." Third seat........Jor'lo had gotten third seat..............and he
was disapointed. He wanted a higher seat, but he guessed he couldn't complain, after all he only had shikai, and almost all captains needed bankai. So Jor'lo was sort of happy. But there
were some people who still hated Jor'lo, and all Soul Reapers. After all the long years Jor'lo was finally able to return to his love, and they rejoyced. But it was at a price, for you see one
of the Shinigami, Dokatsu, hated Soul Reapers more than even hollows. And Dokatsu had followed Jor'lo from the gates that separates the Seireitei and the Rukongi distict. That night,
Dokatsu did the one thing that would upset Jor'lo the most, he kidnapped Kahia. When Jor'lo found the note the next morning he knew exactly who it was from, and he knew Dokatsu's
reiatsu too. He emediatly set off to find him. As he ran towards where the reiatsu signature was he could feel Kahia's signiture there too. Which only made him run all the faster. Finally
he got there and burst through the door, and as soon as he did Dokatsu slit Kahia's throat, right in front of Jor'lo's eyes. Jor'lo screamed a primative scream of diffiance as Kahia fell to
the ground, dead before Jor'lo's eyes for the second time.Jor'lo jumped into the air and launched himself straight at Dokatsu, all the while Dokatsu is laughing his head off. Jor'lo starts to
carve up Dokatsu like a piece of meat, cutting off each limb and then splitting his torse into four parts, and finally cutting off the head. Jor'lo believes he is still alive because he can still hear the laughter, but it is only a echo in his head.
That day something died inside of Jor'lo. That day was the day that Jor'lo made a solum vow. That he would work as hard as he could to get stronger so that he can stop things like that
from happening. He would become stronger so he could protect people like Kahia, so that he would never have to watch someone he cared for die like that again, so that he would never
have to lose control like that ever again. So he went to work for the Soul Society, training, becoming stronger, and never forgetting his vow.
One day it happened, he achieved bankai. He was on a mission to the human world on a protecting mission and he was up against two menos. He killed one of them finally but was too
weak to beat the second one. Then Rosokaku appeared in front of him and said, "Are you just going to sit there and allow this hollow to kill you and all these humans? What about
your vow? I will NOT allow you to die here. I will give you something, my bankai. use it well. just say, "Bankai, Baningu Rosokaku" and i will go into my bankai. use it well." And at that he left. Jor'lo smiled at the thought of having bankai. "Bankai, Baningu Rosokaku." He said in a whisper. When he spoke those words his blades turned into pure fire! He chuckled when he realized he could extend the flaming blades to six feet long now and that it didn't over balence him in the slightest. He smiled at the menos and launched himself towards it. within seconds it was deffeated. When he returned to the Soul Society he was granted the position of 6th division Lt now that he had bankai. He was now happy, but it was not enough. He needed more. He wanted to be the Captain, and he would get it one day...
Role-play Sample:
Jor'lo Dosene leaped backwords and did a mid-air backflip to avoid Toshiro's ice spear. As he did he brought his hands together his hilt and whispered "Inferno". He then brought his hands apart releasing his shikai. As his shikai was activated his blade split in two, then lengthened by half a foot to end up at four feet long. The blades then curve at the end until Jor'lo is holding two scimitars. Jor'lo was getting tired of running away from this boy, he was having fun in this fight, but he wanted to get it over with. The fight was starting to get irritatingly hard in his sealed state.
"Lets dance!" He yelled at Toshiro, he then shunpo'd in front of him. Jor'lo then started to cut and slash at Toshiro, so quickly that Jor'lo couldn't even see if they hit. After a while Jor'lo started to sweat like crazy from all the hectic hacking and slashing with his twin scimitars. Finally after his two hundred and thirty-fourth slash Jor'lo jumped backwords and watched the dust clear to see if he did any damage. [/center]

Today, being 40 days after Pascha (Easter) in the Orthodox Church, is the Feast of Ascension.
It is easy to overlook Ascension because Pentecost is just around the corner (10 days from now). It's so easy to get wrapped up with the coming of the Holy Spirit – the power and glory involved in this momentous event – that Jesus Christ's Ascension into heaven becomes an afterthought, a forgotten event between the Resurrection and the coming of the Spirit.
But Ephesians (the end of ch. 1) puts the significance of this event into context. I especially like the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) because it takes one of those incredible run-on sentences the epistle is known for and breaks it up into easier to digest pieces.
Here's that last run-on sentence of Eph. 1, as found in all its run-on glory, in the King James Version.
[15] Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, [16] cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; [17] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: [18]the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, [19] and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, [20] which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, [21] far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: [22] and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, [23] which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
I remember having to diagram this sentence in Greek back in college. None of us diagramed it in quite the same way. We had dependent clauses and a few independent clauses popping out all over the place. The problem with such a complex sentence is that when you finally get to the object, you've forgotten where the verb is, and you've forgotten what the noun was.
The NRSV solves this problem by breaking this sentence up and then repeating the noun and verb so that a dependent clause can become a separate sentence. Here is v. 20 (originally a dependent clause) from the NRSV:
God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
The original verse was a big confusing: Who's the "he" in v. 20? It's God, the Father of glory. What was wrought in Christ? Power (or "the exceeding greatness of his power." And suddenly v. 20, which in the KJV, is simply another phrase in a very long sentence about Christ, jumps off the page, and the reader says, "Wow! That's why the Ascension is important.
God has all this power. God has this "exceeding greatness of power" which is aimed "us-ward." It's the sort of power that allows us to understand heavenly things so that we can grasp the amazing content of our salvation. But it's all just an idea, sort of like a disembodied energy floating around until …
God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
So how is this possible? It's explained in the last phrase of the sentence (v. 23), but we need v. 22 for context: Through the Ascension God the Father put all things (ta panta) under Christ's feet. (If you know a bit of Greek, you understand the profound significance of "ta panta" being put under Christ's authority. But along with this authority, Jesus was made to be "Head" of the Church, [and then we come to v. 23] "which is his Body, the fullness of him who fills all in all."
Oaky, put on your grammar hats: We have two objective nominatives in a row, and I take them to be parallel, as one would frequently find in the Psalms. This verse is an independent clause, and the subject of the sentence is "Which;" the verb is "is." But this by itself is an incomplete sentence. This structure requires an object. The trick is, there are two objects. The first is as follows:
Which is his Body.
Now, let's attach the subject and verb to the second object:
Which is the fullness of him who fills all in all.
This structure has all the earmarks of classic Hebrew poetic parallelism. And if that is the case, then "Christ's Body" (which is the Church, by the way) is "the fullness of Christ who fills all in all."
Now think about the implications of this. The Enthroned Christ has power and authority over "all things" – everything in the Universe! Furthermore, this same Christ "fills all in all." Or, said another way, he both has authority over all things and fills all things. So we have this image which is both juridical and mystical of Christ who is both over and in all things at the same time!
But what is the fullness of Christ? What is the fullness of this Christ who is over all and fills all? Why it is the Church, it is us – we who are his Body.
And that is all possible because of the Ascension.
I don't even pretend to understand what it means that we are "the fullness of Christ" and that it is true because Christ ascended to the Father, but it is clearly a glorious position. Why would God take things like us (he had his choice of "all things, after all), created from the dust, tenuous and insubstantial creatures like us who will return to the dust, willful creatures like us who shake our fists at God or turn our backs on God … Why would God take creatures like us and transform us into the fullness of Christ?
This is grace at its most profound inscrutability. And this particular grace hinges on the Ascension, which we celebrate in gratitude this day, 40 days after Pascha and 10 days before Pentecost. Happy feast!

Weekends have new meaning when you are a full-time student. As I have said before, I always have a 4 day weekend, but it usually turns into a 5 day weekend thanks to my technology class (yay for finishing my work early and not needing to go back to class on Thursdays!). Spoiled, I know. However, lately, my weekend time clock gets VERY messed up. I always think that Saturday is Sunday and I panic and rush around doing all the homework and studying that I had put off… THEN I remember that it is in fact Saturday and I still have one more day to procrastinate 😛
Today started early since I am dog sitting (yes I know I technically live with the 2 doggies, but they are a HANDFUL when there is just one human caring for them, especially Miss Darcy). I got them fed and outside for a while and tried to sneak in some extra sleep after… But I am pretty sure that I tossed and turned the majority of the time.
When I woke up, I decided that I would start the C25K program over. I had kind of abandoned it since I moved to south FL since I no longer had access to an air-conditioned gym and running outside in the Florida heat and humidity (not to mention my asthma) is pretty much a death wish. Today was nice, weather-wise, but I should have run earlier (it was probably close to noon and around 80 degrees and very sunny!). No matter, I still managed to do 2 miles in 25 minutes! Not bad for a first start 😛
Lunch (well technically breakfast since it was my first meal) was a PBFingers original: Egg Sandwich with Muenster Cheese and Raspberry Jelly. Now I KNOW how it sounds, (I thought the same thing) but trust me, it's DELICIOUS! I also enjoyed a Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Ice.
The rest of the day was spent
doing homework and studying keeping Darcy out of trouble. Tomorrow (since my parents will be back) will include LOTS of studying and hw!

Picture My Life is Close To My Heart's pocket scrapbooking program. I love pocket scrapbooking because it makes finishing an album so easy - add your 3x4 or 4x6 photos, choose fun, pre-decorated cards to add some images, quotes and spaces for journaling, and you're done! And even as a traditional scrapbooker, I find I like to add pocket pages to my albums when I have a lot of photos or especially when I have a lot of memorabilia.
I had a bunch of tickets from various shows I went to last year, and instead of tucking them away in a hidden pocket, I chose to show them off in these open pocket spaces! I used the For Always Picture My Life program, which worked perfectly for showcasing concerts, plays and comedians.
If you've never tried scrapbooking, Picture My Life is a wonderful place to start. And if you are a scrapbooker, you'll find it's a great way to enhance your albums. Even better, we're having an awesome special during August to help you get started - for every Picture My Life collection you purchase, you can choose any of our Memory Protector 10-packs for only $3 (retail value $10!)
I'd love to get you started on this program - if you're new to pocket scrapbooking, feel free to contact me to discuss how it works, or even schedule a one-on-one so I can show you. And keep a lookout at my blog throughout August - I'll be showcasing different ways you can use Picture My Life each week!
