What I love about oral sex is I could climax even without the actual penetration especially if the guy is really into it. I remember in one of my recent bookings that a client was going down on me for 30 minutes straight and I just couldn't contain that much pleasure. As a young woman, it makes me feel more desired and makes me want to reciprocate.
I find mutual oral so sexy because it makes foreplay much more enjoyable; hence much more enjoyable sex!
Which 69 Position is Best?
I don't really mind whichever 69 position I'm in. Though I am much more comfortable doing 69 with me on top. This works for both of us because most of the time my client is twice my size. I believe most couples prefer being on top of each other rather than the latter.
As mentioned, I prefer the position with the other party on top. Most of the time it's the girl anyway. Doing mutual oral is actually much more enjoyable if both parties are freshly showered, whether you're just a normal couple or actually doing sex work. Hygiene is paramount. Secondly, of course the longer you do it, the more enjoyable the foreplay part is.
Mutual Oral Etiquette
Again, hygiene is of utmost priority. This is one of the most important factors that makes me decide if I will actually enjoy it and continue doing it. Also, it's better if the guy asks the girl first if he could bite her clitoris before he actually does it and also asks if he's going to do some heavy fingering. In my experience, I need to be asked first as there are some clients who gets too rough.
At the same time, the guy should also let the girl know if he's penis is too sensitive to be blown with teeth (in my experience, there are some guys who are like that). You need to let us know.

Tomioka, where Mr Matsumura still resides, is just eight miles from Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant – well within the 13-mile exclusion zone – and the other residents have long since fled.
"I was working when the earthquake hit and we heard on the radio that a tsunami was on its way, so I waited a while before trying to get home," said Mr Matsumura, who used to operate road-laying machinery.
"The next day, I heard the explosion at the plant," he said. "I didn't need anyone to tell me what had happened because the 'boom' was huge."
Living with his mother and father and a couple of locals in the house, they heard more explosions. Finally, they decided to head south. "I knocked on the door of my aunt's house in Iwaki, but she wouldn't let any of us in because she said we were contaminated.
"So we went to a nearby shelter, but they wouldn't let us stay there either, so we went home," he says. In April, Mr Matsumura's mother was taken ill so the rest of the family went to stay with relatives outside the original 18-mile recommended exclusion zone.
"We couldn't take the animals with us, so I stayed behind," he says.
After a year, Mr Matsumura, 52, appears to prefer the company of his animals to humans.
"I don't get bored," he says. "I am used to it, and anyway, there are lots of animals here so I'm never really alone."

I am providing a link for a GoFundMe account I have set up for my daughter to help with the cost of going to Mayo Clinic to repair her heart.
She's a spunky 7 y/o with such enthusiasm for life who likes to dance, enjoys playing with her friend Addie, loves her family, practices rollerskating as much as she can, loves school and learning, definitely acts like the 'big' sister that she is while also acting like the 'little' sister that she also is.
There's more to her story here, but the short version is: she was recently diagnosed with having atrial septal defect aka a hole in her heart. Upon her diagnosis, her doctor referred her to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN where the repair procedure can be done. The cost just to get in the door to see the doctor is $5000. We also have to worry about other medical expenses that are not included in that amount as well as travel expense.
I ask you to please take a moment to read about her and her medical condition in more detail. I pray you also consider making a donation, which goes toward the expenses mentioned above.
The link is below:
As always, God bless you (the reader) and thank you for taking the time to read about Lily and her story. Thank you as well for contributing to her medical/travel fund. It's mean so much to her father and I as well as our children and the rest of her family ♥

Dozens of companies that market homes to investors have sprung up since the last real estate crisis. Most of these firms do not use company assets to acquire properties, but rather use the investor's funds. Additionally, many of these companies do not engage in managing or leasing the property after it has been purchased. This requires the investor to find their own management company to attend to the real estate and/or tenants.
Pacific Holdings believes that economic security and reliability are at the core of each real estate investment, no matter how big or small.
• Under the CLA, you receive a fixed return on your investment.
• You may purchase a bank guarantee to secure the rent payment.
• Pacific Holdings only purchases high-quality properties in areas with high-demand.
• We provide complete transparency throughout the process.

* Reliability
* Investment strategy
* Strict management

*** 3:40:
HB1226 passes out of House Agricultural committee with amendments. Both bills (HB1226 and HB1663) will go to the floor for vote.
*** 3:30
HB1663 amended to only ban GMO testing on Hawaiian taro. 74 varieties will be safeguarded from any type of scientific research.
- HB1663, banning GMO taro, passes out of House Agriculture Committee with amendments.
- Agriculture committee recesses for decision making.
*** Part II of Hearings Begins
**12:10 Jerry Konanui fr Big Island: Their are thousands of noncommercial taro growers and consumers that would be affected by GMO .
12:02 More Scare Tactics: Alicia Maluafiti talks about Samoan taro and how their crops were decimated by disease, global warming.
Simply untrue… Their taro crop disease had nothing to do with global warming: http://tinyurl.com/bp69no
They are still worried about this 17 years after the incident:
…In Western Samoa, there are widespread, though sporadic, outbreaks on the island of Upolu. There is a low level of infection along the coast at the moment, but this is expected to increase with the onset of the rainy season within a couple of months…
** 11:35 Haraguchi using scare tactics again:
Rodney Haraguchi , taro grower from Kauai: receiving calls threatening to boycott his taro unless he supports ban on GMO taro.
Haraguchi: New pests are entering Hawaii that Ag inspectors aren't able to stop. Matter of time before taro crops are devastated.
(Remember the following Haraguchi Testimony in 2008)
"All the taro farmers understand and are sensitive to the cultural significance of taro to the Hawaiian community and also have reservations about GMO taro," Kaua'i Taro Growers Association President Rodney Haraguchi said in his written testimony. "However, they are opposed to have a law passed for 10 years restricting research which may be necessary."
His use of the word "all" makes it sound like the farmers unanimously share KTGA's anti-moratorium stance on this issue, when that is simply not the case. And anyway, the KTGA could not by any stretch of the imagination be said to represent even a majority of the taro growers on the island… Joan Conrow

Will New Trading System Help or Hurt Investors?
The NYSE is proposing to create a new kind of trading platform in which small orders will be traded in tiny price increments. Will it help retail investors from getting bad prices on their trades? Jason Zweig explains on The News Hub. Photo: AP
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
on ... the ... well you try to laugh all the money on studies and help all ... small investors Jenkins why Johns's on the set ... explain you just explain how ... let's make it ... onto the minute they may digress ... on the new trading platform ... yet the New York Stock Exchange has proposed a new trading platform that would ... create the way ... I can say you might say there characterizing as a kind of safe harbor for ... small retail workers ... it would ... and it read dear and close to on other platforms but ... it's a little controversial when it also gets this and to some of the other problems that ... small individual investors are facing in today's ... high speed electronic marketplace use a high-speed what you're talking about how fast is asked is always really fast ... I mean ... I'm just yesterday ... and there were a hundred and forty two treats EU AOL's stock ... we've been a period of ... twenty five milliseconds milliseconds milliseconds fortieth of the second ... and most of those trades actually occurred ... outside ... the last forty range the stock so if you are selling the stock ... you're actually got priced low where ... they knew would be seen on you or computer screen or you are you're well on ... how would the new training plan for help with this and and what would it be that said family favorite which is open outcry which is way have a lot of people screaming at each of which is a very old but it actually works ... as it works quite well and ... it's his most equity brought it to look at it might not handle the billion share trading days at least not with ... a lot of mega funds ... but I mean it isn't entirely clear what's going happen with this proposal from the New York ... and it's ... it's highly controversial in treating community there's already a lot of opposition ... I'm sort of ... passing up against it ... the idea is ... to time ... in a Bush years to trade in smaller increments instead of ... that any unit in share price ... would go to Kent said Penney's and ... so if you were trying to sell a stock gets a twelve dollars and ten cents and ... there were no buyer is ... available that price ... maybe someone to buy from you at twelve o nine ... and that will enable you to ... unload your stock and ... and get a better pricing might of the end of the well defined eye into any store you describe which we have a sneak peek every year he described like this doctrine has become like Russian roulette the average unit isn't that this is this to help solve that this ... well ideally you would then mean that they ... are ... the difficulty with today's marketplace for individual investors I think is that ... if it works really well really cheaply most of the time ... anyone it doesn't work it worked terribly ... I might tell the story of the ... older gentleman who ... put a stop loss on his shares at forty nine dollars and forty nine cents and somehow ... was sold out the were sold out from under an eight forty seven dollars ... or roughly two dollars and fifty cents ... below where he ... did not want ... to be sold out ... free money and he said I do if they go below the ... forty seven I don't want to own them ... and you sold around two dollars and fifty cents before they got there ... and he doesn't know why and no one can explain it to some ... with your whole column is gonna be on the recent always say we can't ... before you go but I thought I ask you would you like to see a return to Open outcry because it actually seems to want ... as opposed to what you describe juz now ... has no looking for he said he would swim on to the point of which last night what ...

I think most of us can agree that gathering the fall stuff is relatively easy compared to hauling out all the massive piles of voluminous winter gear and heavy boots and etcetera … but that doesn't mean there aren't still a few necessities to check off your list as you shift from t-shirts to puffer vests. Here, our (overly opinionated) annual list of the best stuff to have on hand as the weather gets chillier, cold-and-flu season kicks up, and we all want to get a bit cozier. (Feel free to weigh in with your favorites!)
Zutano booties
This one will become a total obsession if you have kids who aren't yet walking: They're cozy fleece; they cover the ankles; they have snaps so that they stay on in spite of tiny prying fingers; they're super washable; they come in the cutest colors and patterns; they fit newborns on up through 18-month-olds. And hey, if your kid's out of the bootie years, you might still check out the Zutano site — they also make mittens on a string and super-warm hats!
Skidders no-slip socks
Warm little feet, without the danger of your kid biting it on your hardwoods.
Clean Well Hand Sanitizer
After the playground, before dinner out, in a pinch when we're out and about, I love the Clean Well wipes (especially during cold season) — they're non-chemical, botanically based, and (according to the company) kill 99 percent of germs. They also make sprays. (Have to give credit to Wee pal Paige Wolf for this one.)
The Zojirushi Coffee Canister
Okay, this is for you, not them, and it's probably overkill. (But it is so great!)
All manner of nose care.
Specifically, the Nose Frida for tiny clogged noses (in truth, we still use it on the three-year-old when it's really desperate and he can't quite blow hard enough); Boogie Wipes for gross, crusty, sensitive winter noses (truly, it sounds insanely unnecessary, but trust: They work better than just tissues); and saline drops for stuffiness.
A hats that stays on
At this point, REI should be paying me for how many times I've told people about their little hats. (Alas, they're not.) They come in a variety of weights, and a bunch of them have strong velcro so that they don't end up on the side of the road. Also: They are SO CUTE.
California Baby Everyday Lotion (Extra Sensitive)
It's dry-skin season and this stuff is amazing. It's perfect for all sensitivities (read: free of gluten, soy, oat, dairy, nuts, save for some coconut, and made with cold-pressed vegan oils and a blend of pesticide-free oils.) Works well for your dry hands, too, and it doesn't have that weird waxy smell so many "healthy" lotions have. There's also the old go-to of coconut oil: A tiny bit on the face and lips is ultra-moisturizing and simple as can be. (I even use it around my eyes once the wind gets cold.)
Leg warmers
Not everyone can get behind this (Ashley, for one), but I'm telling you: There's nothing cuter, cozier or easier than a baby in a onesie (or a dress) with leg warmers. I like the BabyLegs brand.
Puffy vests
Perfect warmth for in-between weather: Cute with t-shirts, dresses, long sleeves, even under bigger coats later on. Old Navy has great ones, as does Uniqlo, but since they tend to last a long time, you can also find 'em often on the list serves or at consignment sales or secondhand shops. (Um, also, please check out the fleece toddler ponchos while you are on the Old Navy site! Squee!)
Stroller blankets
For those few weeks where it's too cold for nothing, but not quite cold enough for a stroller muff. The muslin, lightweight stroller blankets from Aden and Anais are great for the warmer days; the locally based Luv Bug company makes really adorable, cozy and compact versions for chillier ones.
Baby/toddler sunglasses.
The morning sun is glorious in October and November, and also extra blinding. Baby Banz is great (the strap is helpful for little ones) and Babiators (which also have the option of a band) — if they get lost or broken in the first year, Babiators will replace them! We like it keep it under $10 a pair — Rivbos for kids are cheap, and they're so flexible that they're basically unbreakable.
A warm-mist humidifier
I think general wisdom has that cool-mist humidifer are better for kids because there's no danger of burns, but I've always liked the warm one for this time of year: 1) It's runny nose/congestion season, and the humidifier helps and 2) We don't turn on our heat until we absolutely have to, and it makes the room a lot cozier and warmer. It is not, of course, hot to the touch, but we are still quite careful to keep it out of reach.

Crock Pot Recipe: Korean beef tacos
Thanks to the love of Pinterest, I get so much inspiration and ideas to make different meals more regularly. One that caught my eye were these Korean Beef Tacos. Not only were they Korean Beef Tacos...but they were a Crock Pot Recipe! I {LOVE} Korean flavored beef. My eye light up when I see new crock pot recipes because crock pot means less work for ME! And with the boys in Little League season right now, it totally helps out on days when we're running around to practice and games.
This inspiration came from this Crockpot Korean Beef Tacos with Cucumber Slaw. This Foodie Bride has so many more wonderful recipes on her site. I drooled the entire time I was reading her site. I made my own little twist to the Korean Beef Tacos. For topping I added: Cilantro, bean sprouts and Carrots. I also used a low carb tortilla.
I made the cucumber slaw with Japanese Cucumbers, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and onions. You may not be able to see the red pepper flakes because I didn't add a whole lot since I do not like things too spicy. Also the original recipe calls for red onions, but I didn't have any so I used white onions.
The results were AMAZING! Hubby and I enjoyed our quick and easy little dinner. Even my kids ate and enjoyed the tacos!
Are you on Pinterest? Have you found any neat recipes or projects? Have you tried any? If so, add the link in my comment. I'd love to see! And if you aren't already following me, please do so here.

Three 'demonic spirits' fall at the Battle of Armageddon. All three were leaders who 'led astray' mankind. The 'false prophet', the 'dragon' and the 'beast' all fall from power at Armageddon. The 'dragon' is Satan, which Satan is evil human pride. The 'beast' is world dominant secular power, starting with King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon. Note: The 'harlot of Babylon', who generally rides the beast of world dominant secular power, was also given power by God. All three, the 'dragon', the 'beast', with the beast's rider, the 'harlot of Babylon', and 'false prophet' were all given power by God. All three, four if you count the 'harlot of Babylon' separately, fall from God given power, upon Armageddon, to make way for Messianic Reign. Messianic Reign begins when the seventh angel pours out his bowl and blows his trumpet. Morning Star, Jesus, will rule the world from Armageddon forward, forever.
NAB2 REV 16:13I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet. These were demonic spirits who performed signs. They went out to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle on the great day of God the almighty. (Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his clothes ready, so that he may not go naked and people see him exposed.) They then assembled the kings in the place that is named Armageddon in Hebrew. The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, 'It is done.'
NAB2 REV 19:19Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered to fight against the one riding the horse and against his army. The beast was caught and with it the false prophet who had performed in its sight the signs by which he led astray those who had accepted the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped its image. The two were thrown alive into the fiery pool burning with sulfur. The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the mouth of the one riding the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
NAB2 REV 11:15Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to his Anointed, and he will reign forever and ever'.
It is the three 'demonic spirits' who have been preparing the earth for battle with Jesus and His army. We know who the 'dragon', the 'beast', and even the beast's rider, 'the harlot of Babylon', are. Who is the third 'demonic spirit' to fall from power when Jesus takes up His seat of power and authority over Israel and the world, at Armageddon?
Is the 'false prophet' Protestantism? The 'false prophet' is not Protestantism because God never gave Protestantism any power.
God was King over Israel from the time He brought them out of Egypt till the fall of Israel to Assyria and Judah to Babylon. God led His people through the kings, priests and prophets of Israel and Judah. Israel and Judah's Church leaders led God's people astray. Israel's prophets, prophesied falsely. Because of all the sinfulness of Israel and Judah, God then handed them over to Satan to be ruled by Satan in 587 BC. Satan, the 'dragon', and secular power, which is the 'beast', with its rider the 'harlot of Babylon', and the 'false prophets' of Israel, all fall from power at the Battle of Armageddon. At Armageddon, Jesus takes over as Ruler of the world. Under Messianic Reign, Jesus is the One with all the Power.

Israel on Eagles Wings
Ok! I only read what the scriptures tell me. I was not there. The Priests, Prophets and Kings of the House of Judah and the House of Israel really angered, and hurt God tremendously. All God given power and authority, given to the Jewish Church, will cease to exist upon Armageddon. Their power, given to them by God, will be handed over Christ's Apostolic Successors, the Catholic Church. Jesus will Rule over the New Jerusalem, Zion, the Restored Kingdom Israel, through His Church, the Catholic Church. There will be only one left kneeling before Jesus and the Father, in power over all others in the universe, upon Messianic Enthronement at Armageddon. Secular power (world dominant power stemming from king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to Armageddon), Jewish power (Jacob's descendants through his son Judah), and the 'harlot of Babylon' Ephriam's power (Jacob's descendants through his grandson Ephriam, who Ephriam is son of Jacob's son Joseph), will all be triumphed over by our Lord Jesus Christ upon the Battle of Armageddon.
Jesus will Rule all the world, through His Church, the Catholic Church, from Armageddon forward, in the era of Messianic Reign. God puts anyone into power whom He wills. God wills His Son Jesus to be in power over all others in the world. Jesus wills and empowers His Apostolic Successors to shepherd His flock, and now Israel and the world, in His place. The twenty-four who worship before God's throne under Messianic Reign will all be Christ's Apostolic Successors.

Messianic Reign
The 'meat', being talked about in Ezekiel, are the people of the tribes of Israel. The 'kettle' is the Church of Israel. The leaders of Israel have filled their 'cities', which is the Church of Israel, with dead people by prophsizing to them falsly. The false prophets of Israel will not be a part of the meat in the kettle in the Restored Kingdom of Israel. The false prophets of Israel will be 'cut off' 'in one day'. In other words, like Satan and the 'beast', who fall from power upon Armageddon, so will Israel's 'false prophets', fall from power upon Armageddon. Jesus will Rule the New Jerusalem through His Church. Christ's Church is the Catholic Church. Jesus, through His Authority in His Church, engaged over Israel and the whole world upon Armageddon, will be the 'new heart' of the 'new Jerusalem'.
NAB 2KI 24:18The LORD'S anger befell Jerusalem and Judah till he cast them out from his presence.
NAB2 EZE 10:1 God's Glory leaves JerusalemI saw there the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain. The cherubim were stationed to the right of the temple; these were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the river Chebar, whom I now recognized to be cherubim.//...
...//I looked and saw in the firmament above the cherubim what appeared to be sapphire stone; something like a throne could be seen upon it. He said to the man dressed in linen: Go within the wheelwork under the cherubim; fill both your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim, then scatter them over the city. As I looked on, he entered. The glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherubim, upon which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. As the man entered, the cloud filled the inner court, and the glory of the LORD rose from over the cherubim to the threshold of the temple; the temple was filled with the cloud, and all the court was bright with the glory of the LORD. The noise of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God the Almighty when he speaks. When he had commanded the man dressed in linen to take fire from within the wheelwork, among the cherubim, the man entered and stood by one of the wheels. Thereupon its cherub stretched out his hand toward the fire that was among the cherubim. He took up some of it and put it in the hands of the one dressed in linen, who took it and came out. (Something like human hands could be seen under the wings of the cherubim.) Then the glory of the LORD left the threshold of the temple and rested upon the cherubim. These lifted their wings, and I saw them rise from the earth, the wheels rising along with them. They stood at the entrance of the eastern gate of the LORD'S house, and the glory of the God of Israel was up above them. Then the cherubim lifted their wings, and the wheels went along with them, while up above them was the glory of the God of Israel. And the glory of the LORD rose from the city and took a stand on the mountain which is to the east of the city.
Ezekiel Chapter 11Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the temple. At the entrance of the gate I saw twenty-five men, among whom were Jaazaniah, son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, son of Benaiah, princes of the people. The LORD said to me: Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city. 'Shall we not,' they say, 'be building houses soon? The city is the kettle, and we are the meat.' Therefore prophesy against them, son of man, prophesy! Then the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and he told me to say: Thus says the LORD: This is the way you talk, house of Israel, and what you are plotting I well know. You have slain many in this city and have filled its streets with your slain. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have placed within it, they are the meat, and the city is the kettle; but you I will take out of it.
NAB2 MAT 23:12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 'Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter'.EZE 11 Continued: You fear the sword, but the sword I will bring upon you, says the Lord GOD. I will bring you out of the city, and hand you over to foreigners, and inflict punishments upon you. By the sword you shall fall; at the boundaries of Israel I will judge you; thus you shall know that I am the LORD. The city shall not be a kettle for you, nor shall you be the meat within it. At the boundaries of Israel I will judge you, and you shall know that I am the LORD, by whose statutes you have not lived, and whose ordinances you have not kept; rather, you have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you.
EZE 11 Continued:While I was prophesying, Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. I fell prone and cried out in a loud voice: 'Alas, Lord GOD! will you utterly wipe out what remains of Israel?' Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, it is about your kinsmen, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel that the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, 'They are far away from the LORD; to us the land of Israel has been given as our possession.' Therefore say: Thus says the Lord GOD: Though I have removed them far among the nations and scattered them over foreign countries, and was for a while their only sanctuary in the countries to which they had gone,I will gather you from the nations and assemble you from the countries over which you have been scattered, and I will restore to you the land of Israel. They shall return to it and remove from it all its detestable abominations. I will give them a new heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove the stony heart from their bodies, and replace it with a natural heart, so that they will live according to my statutes, and observe and carry out my ordinances; thus they shall be my people and I will be their God. But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their detestable abominations, I will bring down their conduct upon their heads, says the Lord GOD.
NAB2 ISA 9:13So the LORD severs from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day. (The elder and the noble are the head, the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.) The leaders of this people mislead them and those to be led are engulfed.
NAB2 MAT 21:33'Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.' They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?' They answered him, 'He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the proper times.' Jesus said to them, 'Did you never read in the scriptures:
'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'?
Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit. (The one who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.) When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.And although they were attempting to arrest him, they feared the crowds, for they regarded him as a prophet.
NAB2 MAT 9:16No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
NAB2 ISA 22:20On that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open. I will fix him like a peg in a sure spot, to be a place of honor for his family; On him shall hang all the glory of his family: descendants and offspring, all the little dishes, from bowls to jugs. On that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg fixed in a sure spot shall give way, break off and fall, and the weight that hung on it shall be done away with; for the LORD has spoken.
NAB2 ISA 9:1The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, As they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as men make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their shoulder, And the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian. For every boot that tramped in battle, every cloak rolled in blood, will be burned as fuel for flames. For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, From David's throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains By judgment and justice, both now and forever.The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this! The Lord has sent word against Jacob, it falls upon Israel; And all the people know it, Ephraim and those who dwell in Samaria, those who say in arrogance and pride of heart, 'Bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone; Sycamores are felled, but we will replace them with cedars.' But the LORD raises up their foes against them and stirs up their enemies to action: Aram on the east and the Philistines on the west devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his wrath is not turned back, and his hand is still outstretched! The people do not turn to him who struck them, nor seek the LORD of hosts. So the LORD severs from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed in one day.
NAB2 LUK 19:38They proclaimed: 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.' Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples.' He said in reply, 'I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!'As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, 'If this day you only knew what makes for peace, but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.'
Then Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them, 'It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'' And every day he was teaching in the temple area. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.
NAB2 JER 13:13Thus says the LORD: Beware! I am filling with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, the kings who succeed to David�s throne, the priests and prophets, and all the citizens of Jerusalem. I will dash them against each other, fathers and sons together, says the LORD; I will show no compassion, I will not spare or pity, but will destroy them.
NAB2 JER 6:12For I will stretch forth my hand against those who dwell in this land, says the LORD. Small and great alike, all are greedy for gain; prophet and priest, all practice fraud. They would repair, as though it were nought, the injury to my people: 'Peace, peace!' they say, though there is no peace. They are odious; they have done abominable things, yet they are not at all ashamed, they know not how to blush. Hence they shall be among those who fall; in their time of punishment they shall go down, says the LORD.
NAB2 JER 8:1At that time, says the LORD, the bones of the kings and princes of Judah, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the citizens of Jerusalem will be emptied out of their graves and spread out before the sun and the moon and the whole army of heaven, which they loved and served, which they followed, consulted, and worshiped. They will not be gathered up for burial, but will lie like dung upon the ground. Death will be preferred to life by all the survivors of this wicked race who remain in any of the places to which I banish them, says the LORD of hosts.
NAB2 REV 9:6During that time these people will seek death but will not find it, and they will long to die but death will escape them.
NAB2 JER 5:11For they have openly rebelled against me, both the house of Israel and the house of Judah, says the LORD. They denied the LORD, saying, 'Not he' No evil shall befall us, neither sword nor famine shall we see. The prophets have become wind, and the word is not in them. May their threats be carried out against themselves!
NAB2 JER 23:9Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken, my bones all tremble; I am like a man who is drunk, overcome by wine, Because of the LORD, because of his holy words. With adulterers the land is filled; on their account the land mourns, the pasture ranges are seared. Theirs is an evil course, theirs is unjust power. Both prophet and priest are godless! In my very house I find their wickedness, says the LORD. Hence their way shall become for them slippery ground. In the darkness they shall lose their footing, and fall headlong; Evil I will bring upon them: the year of their punishment, says the LORD. Among Samaria's prophets I saw unseemly deeds: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. But among Jerusalem's prophets I saw deeds still more shocking: Adultery, living in lies, siding with the wicked, so that no one turns from evil; To me they are all like Sodom, its citizens like Gomorrah. Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts against the prophets: Behold, I will give them wormwood to eat, and poison to drink; For from Jerusalem's prophets ungodliness has gone forth into the whole land.
NAB2 REV 8:5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with burning coals from the altar, and hurled it down to the earth. There were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. The seven angels who were holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. When the first one blew his trumpet, there came hail and fire mixed with blood, which was hurled down to the earth. A third of the land was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all green grass. When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a large burning mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood, a third of the creatures living in the sea died, and a third of the ships were wrecked. When the third angel blew his trumpet, a large star burning like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The star was called 'Wormwood,' and a third of all the water turned to wormwood. Many people died from this water, because it was made bitter.JER 23 Continued:Thus says the LORD of hosts: Listen not to the words of your prophets, who fill you with emptiness; Visions of their own fancy they speak, not from the mouth of the LORD. They say to those who despise the word of the LORD, 'Peace shall be yours'; And to everyone who walks in hardness of heart, 'No evil shall overtake you.' Now, who has stood in the council of the LORD, to see him and to hear his word? Who has heeded his word, so as to announce it? See, the storm of the LORD! His wrath breaks forth In a whirling storm that bursts upon the heads of the wicked. The anger of the LORD shall not abate until he has done and fulfilled what he has determined in his heart. When the time comes, you shall fully understand. I did not send these prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied. Had they stood in my council, and did they but proclaim to my people my words, They would have brought them back from evil ways and from their wicked deeds. Am I a God near at hand only, says the LORD, and not a God far off? Can a man hide in secret without my seeing him? says the LORD. Do I not fill both heaven and earth? says the LORD. I have heard the prophets who prophesy lies in my name say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' How long will this continue? Is my name in the hearts of the prophets who prophesy lies and their own deceitful fancies? By their dreams which they recount to each other, they think to make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name for Baal. Let the prophet who has a dream recount his dream; let him who has my word speak my word truthfully! What has straw to do with the wheat? says the LORD. Is not my word like fire, says the LORD, like a hammer shattering rocks? Therefore I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who steal my words from each other. Yes, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who borrow speeches to pronounce oracles. Yes, I am against the prophets who prophesy lying dreams, says the LORD, and who lead my people astray by recounting their lies and by their empty boasting. From me they have no mission or command, and they do this people no good at all, says the LORD. And when this people, or a prophet or a priest asks you, 'What is the burden of the LORD?' you shall answer, 'You are the burden, and I cast you off, says the LORD.' If a prophet or a priest or anyone else mentions 'the burden of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his house. Thus you shall ask, when speaking to one another, 'What answer did the LORD give?' or, 'What did the LORD say?' But the burden of the LORD you shall mention no more. For each man his own word becomes the burden so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God. Thus shall you ask the prophet, 'What answer did the LORD give?' or, 'What did the LORD say?' But if you ask about 'the burden of the LORD,' then thus says the LORD: Because you use this phrase, 'the burden of the LORD,' though I forbade you to use it, therefore I will lift you on high and cast you from my presence, you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers. And I will bring upon you eternal reproach, eternal, unforgettable shame.
NAB2 MAT 23:29Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the memorials of the righteous, and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have joined them in shedding the prophets' blood.' Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets; now fill up what your ancestors measured out! You serpents, you brood of vipers, how can you flee from the judgment of Gehenna? Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, so that there may come upon you all the righteous blood shed upon earth, from the righteous blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Amen, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you were unwilling! Behold, your house will be abandoned, desolate.
NAB2 LAM 4:13Because of the sins of her prophets and the crimes of her priests, Who shed in her midst the blood of the just! They staggered blindly in the streets, soiled with blood, So that people could not touch even their garments: 'Away you unclean!' they cried to them, 'Away, away, do not draw near!' If they left and wandered among the nations, nowhere could they remain. The LORD himself has dispersed them, he regards them no more; He does not receive the priests with favor, nor show kindness to the elders.
NAB2 JER 27:14Do not listen to the words of those prophets who say, 'You need not serve the king of Babylon,' for they prophesy lies to you. I did not send them, says the LORD, but they prophesy falsely in my name, with the result that I must banish you, and you will perish, you and the prophets who are prophesying to you. To the priests and to all the people I spoke as follows: Thus says the LORD: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you: 'The vessels of the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon soon now,' for they prophesy lies to you. Do not listen to them! Serve the king of Babylon that you may live; else this city will become a heap of ruins. If they were prophets, if the word of the LORD were with them, they would intercede with the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which remain in the house of the LORD and in the palace of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem might not be taken to Babylon. For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, the bronze sea, the stands, and the rest of the vessels that remain in this city, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take when he exiled Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem, yes, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: To Babylon they shall be brought, and there they shall remain, until the day I look for them, says the LORD; then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.
NAB2 JER 14:13Ah! Lord GOD, I replied, it is the prophets who say to them, 'You shall not see the sword; famine shall not befall you. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' Lies these prophets utter in my name, the LORD said to me. I did not send them; I gave them no command nor did I speak to them. Lying visions, foolish divination, dreams of their own imagination, they prophesy to you. Therefore, thus says the LORD: Concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, though I did not send them; who say, 'Sword and famine shall not befall this land': by the sword and famine shall these prophets meet their end The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out into the streets of Jerusalem by famine and the sword. No one shall bury them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour out upon them their own wickedness.
NAB ISA 28:1Woe to the majestic garland of the drunkard Ephraim, To the fading blooms of his glorious beauty, on the head of him who is stupefied with wine. Behold, the LORD has a strong one and a mighty, who, like a downpour of hail, a destructive storm, Like a flood of water, great and overflowing, levels to the ground with violence; With feet that will trample the majestic garland of the drunkard Ephraim. The fading blooms of his glorious beauty on the head of the fertile valley Will be like an early fig before summer: when a man sees it, he picks and swallows it at once. On that day the LORD of hosts will be a glorious crown And a brilliant diadem to the remnant of his people, A spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. But these also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priest and prophet stagger from strong drink, overpowered by wine; Led astray by strong drink, staggering in their visions, tottering when giving judgment. Yes, all the tables are covered with filthy vomit, with no place left clean. To whom would he impart knowledge? To whom would he convey the message? To those just weaned from milk, those taken from the breast? For he says, 'Command on command, command on command, rule on rule, rule on rule, here a little, there a little!' Yes, with stammering lips and in a strange language he will speak to this people to whom he said: This is the resting place, give rest to the weary; Here is repose' but they would not listen. So for them the word of the LORD shall be: 'Command on command, command on command, Rule on rule, rule on rule, here a little, there a little!' So that when they walk, they stumble backward, broken, ensnared, and captured. Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, you arrogant, who rule this people in Jerusalem: Because you say, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with the nether world we have made a pact; When the overwhelming scourge passes, it will not reach us; For we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood we have found a hiding place,' Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: See, I am laying a stone in Zion, a stone that has been tested, A precious cornerstone as a sure foundation; he who puts his faith in it shall not be shaken.
NAB2 MAT 21:33'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes'?ISA 28 Continued: I will make of right a measuring line, of justice a level. Hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters shall flood the hiding place. Your covenant with death shall be canceled and your pact with the nether world shall not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes, you shall be trampled down by it. Whenever it passes, it shall take you; morning after morning it shall pass, By day and by night; terror alone shall convey the message. For the bed shall be too short to stretch out in, and the cover too narrow to wrap in. For the LORD shall rise up as on Mount Perazim, bestir himself as in the Valley of Gibeon, To carry out his work, his singular work, to perform his deed, his strange deed. Now, be arrogant no more lest your bonds be tightened,, For I have heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, the destruction decreed for the whole earth. Give ear and hear my voice, pay attention and listen to what I say: Is the plowman forever plowing, always loosening and harrowing his land for planting? When he has leveled the surface, does he not scatter gith and sow cumin, Put in wheat and barley, with spelt as its border? He has learned this rule, instructed by his God. Gith is not threshed with a sledge, nor does a cartwheel roll over cumin. But gith is beaten out with a staff, and cumin crushed for food with a rod. No, he does not thresh it unendingly, nor does he crush it with his noisy cartwheels and horses. This too comes from the LORD of hosts; wonderful is his counsel and great his wisdom.
NAB2 ISA 56:5I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name Better than sons and daughters; an eternal, imperishable name will I give them. And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, ministering to him, Loving the name of the LORD, and becoming his servants, All who keep the sabbath free from profanation and hold to my covenant, Them I will bring to my holy mountain and make joyful in my house of prayer; Their holocausts and sacrifices will be acceptable on my altar, For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: Others will I gather to him besides those already gathered. All you wild beasts of the field, come and eat, all you beasts in the forest! My watchmen are blind, all of them unaware; They are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; Dreaming as they lie there, loving their sleep. They are relentless dogs, they know not when they have enough. These are the shepherds who know no discretion; Each of them goes his own way, every one of them to his own gain: 'Come, I will fetch some wine; let us carouse with strong drink, And tomorrow will be like today, or even greater.'
NAB2 DEU 13:2If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer who promises you a sign or wonder, urging you to follow other gods, whom you have not known, and to serve them: even though the sign or wonder he has foretold you comes to pass, pay no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer; for the LORD, your God, is testing you to learn whether you really love him with all your heart and with all your soul. The LORD, your God, shall you follow, and him shall you fear; his commandment shall you observe, and his voice shall you heed, serving him and holding fast to him alone. But that prophet or that dreamer shall be put to death, because, in order to lead you astray from the way which the LORD, your God, has directed you to take, he has preached apostasy from the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and ransomed you from that place of slavery. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
NAB2 SUEThat year, two elders of the people were appointed judges, of whom the Lord said, 'Wickedness has come out of Babylon: from the elders who were to govern the people as judges.'
NAB2 ZEP 3:1Woe to the city, rebellious and polluted, to the tyrannical city! She hears no voice, accepts no correction; In the LORD she has not trusted, to her God she has not drawn near. Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves of the night that have had no bones to gnaw by morning. Her prophets are insolent, treacherous men; Her priests profane what is holy, and do violence to the law.
NAB2 LUK 11:43Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.
Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, 'Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.' And he said, 'Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them. Woe to you! You build the memorials of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. Consequently, you bear witness and give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, for they killed them and you do the building. Therefore, the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute, in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood! Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.'
NAB3 LUK 13:34 The Lament over Jerusalem.Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling! Behold, your house will be abandoned. [But] I tell you, you will not see me until [the time comes when] you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'
ZEC 12:9On that day I will seek the destruction of all nations that come against Jerusalem. I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and petition; and they shall look on him whom they have thrust through, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they shall grieve over him as one grieves over a first-born.

The phone rings, I pick up and hear, "Feel like dinner? I'm in town." This is the familiar voice of Michael Bogey, travel junkie and adrenaline addict. Bogey likes fast. He's raced motorcycles in Africa, go-karts in France, trekked Nepal, ran rivers in Indonesia, raced snowmobiles in the Arctic, and came within one-hairpin turn of making the U.S. Olympic luge team. He's a downhill skier, airplane pilot, charter boat captain... we can stop here. Nowadays, he lives in Fairbanks, and, once a month, flies south to race cars.
I say, "Can't make dinner tonight, but I'm following the Tour this year. Come by tomorrow morning at 5:30, watch the race over breakfast."
This is fortuitous. Michael has bicycled Europe a dozen times, and has ridden over many of the same roads the Tour de France uses.
I haven't seen Bogey in seven months, which is unusual. Last time he was here his right foot was flapping as he walked. He had the gait of a clown wearing oversized clown shoes. Turned out, his Achilles tendon was detached. He still raced cars that weekend, then flew to Miami, lined up a surgeon who services the Miami Heat basketball club, and got tacked back together. I don't know why Miami.
By the way, the injury was not a result of a race accident, Michael has never been hurt while racing anything. He fell off a milk carton while rooting around in his bedroom closet.
This brings us to now. Mr. Bogey is tapping on my door at 5:30 a.m., precisely. Today is Stage 10, the Tour's first Alpine climbing day, 120 miles long with a rise from 721 to 6,574 feet. There will be pain today.
I hand Bogey a cup a coffee, return to the stove to chaperon bacon, sausage, eggs, and home fries. Michael settles in before the TV. I propose the day's bet, "Who will win Stage 10, Lance or Anybody Else?" Michael takes Lance for $20.
I ask, "How did you come into bicycle world?"
"I was running 10 miles every day and one day my knee locked up. A friend set me up with a bike."
"What year was that?"
I note that Lance's team, Discovery Channel, is running in front of the pack. Surprised they moved this early. "What do you like about bicycles?"
Bogey says, "It's an elegant way to travel. You're going 30 miles-an-hour. Your body is making that happen. You get a beautiful workout and your work is rewarded by traveling amazing distances, thousands and thousands of miles." Bogey smiles, "Freedom."
We eat breakfast, have more coffee, and I commence clean up. Now and then I hear a race commentator, each time referring to Lance Armstrong, using phrases like, "Delivering misery." "Mass destruction by the terminator." "Sets a pace going up the mountain that will asphyxiate his rivals." "Bone-crushing tempo."
"You've ridden bikes in Europe?"
Michael says, "Yes, the first time was the year [1986] Greg LeMond won the Tour de France. My girlfriend was going to cooking school in London. I set off from London on a three-month biking tour. I had three goals. I'd read a lot of M.K. Fisher for food and so one goal was to follow her trail through the provinces of France. And then I wanted to see Tuscany and Florence. And finally, I wanted to climb as many Alpine passes as I could."
"Three months is a long time to have your butt on a bicycle seat. What was the best part of the trip? The worst?"
"Pretty much all good," Michael says. "Funny things happened. I took a ferry across Lake Lagano and climbed two long Alpine passes to the Rhone Glacier. It was snowing on the top of the passes. I hooked up with this German guy for the decent. We were flying, it was foggy, no guard rails, no protection, 1,000-foot drops into the valley.
"Got to the bottom. The pass ahead was grim looking, very steep ascent with lots of switchbacks. I'd been climbing all day and here was another difficult climb. I finally said, 'Okay, I'm going for it,' It was 4:30 in the evening. I went into a shop, ate a lot of sugar, drank a lot of soup. I walked out to get on my bike and there was this one shaft of sunlight coming into the valley. I saw a silver 250 GTO Ferrari sitting across the street. I was fixated on the light and the gorgeous Ferrari and all of a sudden I heard bike brakes. I turned and saw a bike shooting out of a tandem, coming at me at 50 mph. It stopped two inches from my toes. It was Simon, the guy who set me up with my first bike, and his girl friend. An extraordinary piece of timing, you couldn't calculate the probability of it. We decided to go to the Tour de France."
Next week: Lance mutilates the field. Michael does the Tour.

As 9AM hit, WWE fans across the U.S. hit the WWE.COM website to sign up for the WWE Network, slowing down the servers and making it difficult to sign up for new accounts.
WWE acknowledged the problem and issued a small statement saying, "Please be patient if you're ordering WWE Network as we're experiencing extremely high demand. Your order will be processed as soon as possible."
The actual streaming service is not suffering from any issues and once signed in, streams start playing immediately with no buffering at all.
A post later on Facebook stated that WWE's technology partner Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) was overwhelmed with traffic and their systems were unable to process most orders since 9AM due to demand for WWE Network.
"MLBAM has been working aggressively to resolve this issue," the WWE Network statement said.

It's the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year, and if that means anything, it means special holiday programming. This year, it's not just television that's getting in on the act – Although, did you see this week's Warehouse 13? – as customer service software provider Zendesk offers up Merry Holidays, Please Hold. Created by Scotty Got An Office Job's Scotty Iseri and Star Wars Yoga guru Matthew Latkiewicz, the ten episode series updates Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol so that "the true meaning of Christmas" gets replaced by "the true meaning of good customer service" (Well, it is brought to you by Zendesk) as the man behind the worst customer service policies from the last century gets a taste of his own medicine:
It may sound hokey, but it's actually kind of awesome – in large part because Latkiewicz's Matt Nelson is a great, over-the-top character in the fine "complete asshole who lacks self-awareness" tradition, as well as the depressing familiarity of all the terrible service he runs into. But if stories of redemption even for the man who invented phone trees aren't your thing, there's also a Creative Commons Christmas carol…
Merry Holidays, Please Hold updates every second day until December 22nd.

What a busy week! That means quick meals!
This week's favorite quick breakfast has been toast. A nice thick slice of the multigrain loaf I got at the farmer's market last week.
This really is the best bread I have ever had. So chewy and grainy in the middle. And even more delicious covered in almond butter and blueberry jam.
Its going to be a steamy 94 degrees out today. So I am thinking maybe a nice salad for dinner. Grilled tuna on top maybe? No ideas for a side dish. Maybe another peice of toast!
What is your favorite hot weather dinner?

Pixit Media's Scale-Out Storage Running on NetApp E-Series Arrays Gives Renowned Post and VFX House Performance and Scalability
SURREY, England — 27th February 2017 — Pixit Media, the leader in storage solutions built specifically for media workflows, today announced that Oscar, Emmy, and British Academy award-winning creative studio Framestore has deployed Pixit Media's PixStor software-defined scale-out storage solution at its Los Angeles, London, and New York sites as central production storage for the advertising part of its business. The deployment gives Framestore guaranteed performance and consistency across all three sites, a cost-effective and simplified approach to disaster recovery and business continuity, and a modular infrastructure that's easy to manage and expand to support multiple workflows.
"We've tried many flavours of NAS and SAN offerings, and we were really impressed with Pixit Media's PixStor. It provided speed and quality of service while giving us the freedom to purchase our own hardware," said Beren Lewis, Framestore's global head of integrated advertising technology. "With PixStor, we get exactly the right balance of everything we need — guaranteed performance, the ability to control hardware costs, and the reassurance that we have a partner that really understands our workflow and applications — all in a model that we can easily reproduce globally."
Renowned for its postproduction and visual effects work on blockbusters such as "Gravity," "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and movies in the Marvel franchise, Framestore is also behind the advertising campaigns for global brands such as Intel, Stella Artois, BMW, and Samsung. Seeking to push the boundaries of what is possible from available technology, Framestore chose PixStor not only to meet the exhausting demands of its current commercial-production workflow, but to grow and adapt with the business and its ambitious expansion plans.
PixStor offers the fastest and most tightly integrated storage platform for media workflows, with flexible scalability and predictable performance that works with hardware of the customer's choosing. In Framestore's case, the solution combines Pixit Media's media expertise and file-system tools with best-of-breed hardware components, such as NetApp E-Series storage arrays and network infrastructure from Mellanox Technologies for the back-end storage network. Each of Framestore's sites uses multiple NetApp E-Series E5660 storage arrays with a mixture of 10K SAS drives and larger-capacity NL SAS Drives, for a total of about 500 terabytes of usable storage per site.
NetApp E-Series is the storage array preferred by many post houses and broadcasters because it is the only production storage array with 99.999 percent reliability. Large broadcast production workgroups and boutique 4K facilities, which have zero tolerance for dropped frames, rely on NetApp E-Series. Operations can choose between RAID resiliency schemes, including Dynamic Disk Pools that dramatically reduce disk rebuild time, provide more consistent performance, and eliminate the need for hot or cold spares. Use of flash in hybrid arrays optimizes support for ancillary transcoding and rendering workflows. "Phone-home" features alert NetApp of potential disk failures before a hard disk fails, allowing the vendor or systems integrator to replace the drive without any impact on the production workgroup.
With the PixStor systems now online in three locations, Framestore is next planning to take advantage of the solution's built-in intelligent sync tools to implement lightning-fast disk-to-disk copy for disaster recovery and business continuity.
"We've earned our customers' trust through our consultative approach, proven technical competence, and added value," said Ben Leaver, CEO, Pixit Media. "The fact that Framestore is one of those customers is significant because it is one of the largest and most prestigious companies in the industry. This deployment is a real endorsement of what we offer the market."
Pixit Media will demonstrate the PixStor solution using the NetApp E-Series storage array at BVExpo on Stand J25 in Hall S1-8, 28th Feb – 2nd March. Also, at the 2017 NAB Show, ATTO Technology will demonstrate the E-Series storage array in Booth SL9611.

CALC's Article Three - Confession of Faith
The Bible
CALC accepts all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as a whole and in all the their parts as the divinely inspired, revealed, and inerrant Word of God, and joyfully submits to this as the only infallible authority in all matters of life and faith.
Faith in the Triune God
CALC is built upon faith in the ever-living Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as revealed in the Holy Scriptures to Whom be the glory for ever and ever (see the three Ecumenical Creeds).
God the Father
Almighty God, Creator of the universe, Who formed man in His own image, Who from the beginning loved goodness and hated evil, desires that the children of His creation live in eternal fellowship with Him. We hold to the creation and fall of humanity as described in the first chapters of Genesis, not as myth, but as historic facts.
Therefore, the Creator gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16) to be the Savior of the world, that people might be set free from the bondage of sin, and become joint heirs with Jesus Christ of eternal life.
Jesus Christ, God's only Son and our Savior
At the heart and centre of this faith is confidence in Jesus Christ and love for Him, the Eternal Word of God, true God (only Son of the Father from eternity), and true man (born of the Virgin Mary), and the only Savior of the world.
The reason for our being the Canadian Association of Lutheran Congregations is to proclaim salvation solely by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
Dependence upon the Holy Spirit
We also acknowledge dependence upon the Holy Spirit working solely through the Means of Grace to call unbelievers into saving faith in Jesus Christ, to empower believers to grow in faith, to bestow His gifts for the ministry of the Church locally and universally, to inspire love for one another, and to bring glory to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Head of the Church.
Symbols: Basic and Required
As brief and true statements of the doctrines of the Word of God, this Association accepts and confesses the following Symbols, subscription to which shall be required of all its members, both congregations and individuals: The ancient Ecumenical Creeds: The Apostolic, the Nicene, and the Athanasian; The Unaltered Augsburg Confession and Luther's Small Catechism.
Book of Concord: Normative
As further elaboration of and in accordance with these Lutheran Symbols, this Association also receives the other documents in the Book of Concord of 1580: the Apology, Luther's Large Catechism, the Smalcald Articles (including the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope) and the Formula of Concord; and recognizes them as normative for its theology.
Pure Doctrine
CALC accepts without reservation these symbolic books of the Lutheran Church not insofar as but because they are the presentation and explanation of the pure doctrine of the Word of God and a summary of the faith of the evangelical Lutheran Church.

I recently realised that my poor, slightly neglected second child hadn't been weighed in over two months so we trundled along to our local baby clinic. My chunky monkey weighed in at a hefty 16lbs 3ozs which was a pretty impressive starting weight for her 4 month old frame. She had moved up from the 50th percentile to the 75th. I was absolutely delighted …. but why?
Sure, it's reassuring to know she's growing well and yes it does make all those night feeds worthwhile (as well as the fact they're keeping her alive of course!). As I'm breastfeeding it also feels like a pat on the back to know she is growing and thriving (well done boobs!). But here's the big but…. why was I so delighted she was not just growing but that she was bigger than average?
My first child was a late premie born at 36 weeks. His birth weight was good for age (6lb 1oz) but for the first seven months of his life he was slow to grow and gain weight. He fell off the bottom of the growth charts at one point and for a while barely tracked the 0.4th percentile. He was closely monitored by various NHS departments and thankfully all was well, he WAS growing … just slowly.
I became incredibly sensitive to the frequent comments "wow, he's how old and yet so little?" and "oh he's soooooo tiny". Sat next to some of his chunky NCT buddies, size wise, he looked about 2 months younger than them. These comments coupled with the competitive baby group mums ("little Tommy weighs 6800kg already!" and "oh yes she's on the 99th percentile for length, she's doing so well!") and sleep deprivation left me feeling like I was failing as a mother. If their big, oversized (joke!) babies were doing so well did that mean by default that my small, petite boy was failing?
Of course it didn't but what I did realise is that we are all (myself included) obsessed with babies being B.I.G. But again, why? Was I starving and neglecting my perfectly proportioned yet apparently vertically challenged boy? Was I failing as a mother if he didn't race into the next sized clothes as fast as Concorde beats the speed of light (because clearly wearing aged 3-6 months t shirts when you're 6 months old is so last year!)?
Growing well is a sign of good health so clearly that is a big tick in the big is better camp but when did simply growing become not good enough and being the biggest become the dream?
In my non-mum life, asking someone how much they weigh would be met with shock and horror. Even discussing height has it's perils if the subject in discussion is particularly tall or short (is heightism a thing yet?).
So … let's try to keep in mind whether your baby is likened to the BFG or a hobbit, if they're happy and thriving then Mum – you're doing a fab job! There's so much to worry about as a mother, let's not add another thing to the list.
Oh and by the way – my vertically challenged baby has grown into a perfectly averaged height toddler even (shock horror!) overtaking some of the NCT giants that used to tower over him!
