A: Assassin`s Advantages and disadvantages in Fights
I`ve been the Assassin for days, and found he is really good at hunting monster and instant kill in 1 hit. But to instant kill, you`ll need the Spirit Focus which will cost you 5 seconds.
As for monsters, the Assassin has a higher chance to hit them to death. Let`s suppose you are attacking the Snow Banshee with a crowd of people. With full stamina, you can use the Mortal Wound up to 10 times. So, don't waste your stamina at the beginning! Just wait, wait until the monster has only half of HP left, and you can easy kill it by continuously using the Mortal Wound.
Using Mortal Wound with Spirit Focus is the secret for Assassin to instant kill someone even has more BP than you. The Assassins with a lot of critical attributes are able to push taoists to death with just one critical strike. Do not waste your stamina! When you have full stamina, you can use Spirit Focus for 10 times with the Mortal Wound. The Assassins with breakthrough attribute may be relatively weaker. In a word, Assassin will not be afraid of the taoist! They become the first choice to deal with the taoist.
It`s almost the same to deal with those classes who are good at physical attacks. Focus your spirit and start using the Mortal Wound. Do not afraid to be hit! The Assassin has very high immunity and so many HP in the flying dagger. You won`t die by one hit, okay? You should find any chance to focus spirit. Instead of restoring your stamina, Remember, channeling spirit is much more important than restoring stamina for Assassins, any time! Using the Mortal Wound will just cost 15 stamina. And you need to use Stigma.
Well, I`ve been talking a lot about duel. As for group PK, the Assassin can also fast kill a target by using the Blade Flurry after a Spirit Focus. You`ll see better effect in Capture the Flag. Stand away from the flags, and Focus your spirit. Then use the Blade Flurry. You should have confidence in the Blade Flurry. I think there will be few people alive after you use this skill. It`s also useful in Guild War that can hit dozens of targets on the wall. While if you are in a group fight outside, you just need 2 Assassin and 1 monk in your team to wipe out your enemies.
B: How to be an excellent Assassin?
Hi, I have been with Assassin for a week. So, I want to give some tips for players who are thinking to be an Assassin. Generally speaking, the Assassins are not weak, but they are unlike Ninja, Monk or Pirate who suddenly broke the game balance once been released. For that, I want to give Assassin 85 points. Besides, Assassins are special in position. In 1V1 PK, Assassin provides the chance for the middle-class players to kill the players who have more BP than you in a second. Assassin also plays a very importance role in group PVPs. If your guild have several Assassins, you`ll probably got better chance. Well, here are my tips:
Dragon Soul: P6 P-Defense Dragon Soul. The Assassins rely on Focus Spirit and Stigma to activate powerful attack, so you need to be stay alive with lots defense.
Refinery: Head – Detoxication or HP; Necklace - M-Defense; Ring & Weapon - Critical Strike or Breakthrough; Armor & Boots - Immunity
Gem: Super Tortoise Gem or Super Dragon Gem. If you can, prepare two suit of equipment. Then, you can use the one with Super Tortoise Gem when you need defense. While you are using Spirit Focus and Mortal Wound, you can switch to another suit with Super Dragon Gem.
Bonus Level: At least +6. When you have +6 equipment, you should have a try to challenge those players with more BP than you.
Chi: Very important to Train your Chi right, and enhance your ability of Physical attack, +Final P-Damage, Immunity, Max HP and Break. Different effect of Chi will forge different kinds of Assassin.
Reincarnation: You should at least have Water Taoist, so you can use Stigma.
Attack Mode: In solo fights, find a chance to use Stigma + Intensify + Rapid Fire, and you can call out a deadly attack. Use the Dagger Storm soon after the required cool down time. While in Guild War or in Capture the Flag, you just need to two ranged-attack skills to control the combat. Don't forget to Focus your spirit and sneak attack the King. Oh, yes, Remember, you should wear Earrings if the enemy is a Tao.

text: The Hobie Team Lima Chronicles according to Brandi Baksic - Part 1 Share 22. February 2012 by Hola from Peru. Well, I have been nominated by the other three to give those at home a little Peru ISA world championships update, so here goes. So we got onto town after a very long day of travel about 2 a.m. Sunday morning. We woke up to bright sunshine in our eyes at about 6 a.m., and headed to the event registration downtown Miraflores. After registration the event officially opened with the parade of nations, 17 different countries walking around the town with their country's flag. The opening ceremonies ended with the "Sands of the World", where each representing country pours into a large bowl a cup of sand that was brought from their home country. Colin and I were introduced on stage, and we poured San Clemente beach sand and combined it with the other countries, kinda cool. After the opening ceremonies, we all headed to Pampilla Beach for an afternoon of some fun day SUP surfing and sizing up the competition. Day 2, Monday, was basically a free day of surfing, except I had to go to a press conference with a bunch of Peruvian leaders, politicians and Jamie Mitchell. I was a bit awkward, but cool. I think I impressed them with all my answers in Spanish, or they think I am a complete dufus. Today, the good stuff began. Colin was the first to surf, in a heat that could have been a final with Jackson Close from Australia, and Fernando Stella from Mexico. Colin was the first to catch a wave, and fell early, but from then on out he had awesome wave selection and long rights, with lots and lots of maneuvers and eventually we on to win! This would be the theme for the day, as Sean Pointer would also fall on his first wave but finish first in his heat, defeating Australian Hobie team member Justin Holland on his last wave and coming out first. Emmy Merrill would continue team USA 's winning streak with a first place finish over Australian Hobie team rider Shakira Westdorp. Emmy surfed Awesome!!! She scored an 8.5 on her second to last wave, leaving the competition in the dust! Tomorrow, more surfing and Gillian competes in the short course prone race. Go USA! Oh, ya, and we finally got our race boards out of customs today, Yay! Categories: Stand Up Paddle |

It has been just over two years since Ireland shook up 2011's World Cup draw by beating Australia. Much has changed since Auckland.
It has been just over two years since Ireland shook up the Rugby World Cup draw by overcoming Australia in Pool C. Much has changed since Auckland.
That defeat sent the tournament dark horse Wallabies into the so-called tougher side of the format where they eventually fell to New Zealand.
Dust settled in the following months before eventually both Declan Kidney and Robbie Deans departed to be replaced by Joe Schmidt and Ewen McKenzie respectively. One's enjoyed more of a promising start to his Test tenure than the other but are things looking up for Australia?
A win in Italy saw glimpses of the style the Reds adopted in their pomp, but how much we read into it against that opposition keeps the jury out.
There are positives such as Matt Toomua bedding in nicely alongside Brumbies team-mate Tevita Kuridrani and when Scott Higginbotham eventually returns from injury, they should have a balanced back-row. Remember that openside David Pocock is also an ongoing absentee.
The Irish meanwhile began their Schmidt era in promising fashion as they comfortably dispatched Samoa 40-9 in a game we thought would be much closer. Maybe there is a revival coming ahead of the Six Nations, with a November finale with New Zealand set to give them a good gauge upon which to measure. That Aviva Stadium fixture already excites.
Like the Wallabies, the Irish have a number twelve they should stick with. Luke Marshall has potential that we have seen in an Ulster jersey and Jared Payne will also soon become eligible – possibly to take over at thirteen instead of full-back once Brian O'Driscoll retires.
Schmidt though talked the veteran into continuing in the jersey and he is one of ten 2013 British and Irish Lions in the 23. They are Rob Kearney, Tommy Bowe, Jonathan Sexton, Conor Murray, Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien, Paul O'Connell, Rory Best and Cian Healy.
Experience aplenty we are sure you will agree and it is also interesting that eleven of the starting XV began that fine Rugby World Cup victory over the Wallabies at Eden Park.
Australia in contrast have newer blood but take nothing away from the familiarity their side has gained from their recent busy schedule – and also confidence from Turin – and this should lead to a fluency from McKenzie's men. That is of course if their set-piece holds up.
Sekope Kepu is tasked with keeping things steady at tighthead but he will have a job on his hands against Healy and company as Ireland will not follow Italy's capitulation. And as we know, Australia in an expansive game versus an arm-wrestle are two different animals.
Ones to watch:
For Ireland: The last time Jonathan Sexton was up against the Wallabies it was as a try scorer for the British and Irish Lions. He will be swapping red for green this week as his return sees Paddy Jackson drop out of the squad altogether. Sexton's performance will be key to how Ireland operate, while his combination with former Leinster team-mate, Eoin Reddan, could well have been a selection tilter for new head coach Joe Schmidt.
For Australia: Stopping the Wallabies up front will be half the battle for Ireland as it would go some way to reducing the front-foot ball Quade Cooper gets to utilise for the likes of Nick Cummins and Israel Folau. Folau was superb against the Azzurri last weekend, as was Cummins, and if the full-back sees plenty of ball, Australia will cause the Irish problems.
Head-to-head: Ireland loosehead Cian Healy will be determined to ask questions of Wallaby tighthead Sekope Kepu, who must have the answers for as long as he's on the field. Kepu has yet to convince that he is Australia's number one tighthead after several indifferent efforts in the gold jersey. But, with Ben Alexander having been rested by head coach Ewen McKenzie, Saturday poses a big opportunity for the Waratahs prop. Meanwhile, Healy will also be eager to make a statement after Jack McGrath was last week's man-of-the-match.
Recent results:
2011: Ireland won 15-6 in Auckland
2010: Australia won 22-15 in Brisbane
2009: 20-20 draw in Dublin
2008: Australia won 18-12 in Melbourne
2006: Ireland won 21-6 in Dublin
2006: Australia won 37-15 in Perth
2005: Australia won 30-14 in Dublin
2003: Australia won 17-16 in Melbourne
2003: Australia won 45-16 in Perth
Prediction: Australia have the tools but we expect them to fall to Ireland, just, by about 5!
The teams:
Ireland: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Tommy Bowe, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, 12 Luke Marshall, 11 Fergus McFadden, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Eoin Reddan, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Sean O'Brien, 6 Peter O'Mahony, 5 Paul O'Connell, 4 Devin Toner, 3 Mike Ross, 2 Rory Best, 1 Cian Healy.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Jack McGrath, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Mike McCarthy, 20 Kevin McLaughlin, 21 Conor Murray, 22 Ian Madigan, 23 Robbie Henshaw.
Australia: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Matt Toomua, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Ben Mowen (capt), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Scott Fardy, 5 James Horwill, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 James Slipper.
Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Benn Robinson, 18 Paddy Ryan, 19 Sitaleki Timani, 20 Liam Gill, 21 Nic White, 22 Christian Leali'ifano, 23 Joe Tomane.

Quick and easy, would use again
Great job thank to the team and garage changed all 4 disks and breack pads in no time and at a reassonable price Thank You
Really pleased at the service received.
I got a big dent in the left side back door of my car. They really were professional and the job was done perfectly with reasonable price. They even cleaned up the inside of my car as well as fixed other minor dent. Thank you very much Shahid and the team! I will definitely recommend this shop.
Very friendly and welcoming people. Just went for normal servicing, my car seems to have improved in fuel economy feels like driving different car. They even checked my another car free of cost and gave me their views on what needs to be done if I am ready for it. Customer service is first class. I will surely returning again.
Prompt friendly sevice,seem genuine,will definitely use again
friendly, knowledgeable and efficient
Car repair was done to good standard (slight delay in getting it back from them due to paint shop issues) They were polite and kept me informed throughout. Polite and friendly. Not dealership level repair but good enough for the price.
Always a pleasure dealing with these guys as legit as they come, I would recommend they be your first choice you won't be disappointed. First class service.
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
I picked these chaps as they were reasonably close and had a good rating. I assumed they would call me as the email I received said but no one ever called and so I used someone else. I would give zero stars but the website won't let me.
Job got done on time as promised, recommended.
Excellent service, Majeed came to collect my car as scheduled and returned few hours later. They had to carry out an additional minor repair which indeed was required, as per previous MOT certificate - advisories. All went fine and I am happy with the result. Would definitely recommend them -- their prices are very competitive !!
They did a good job, I wwas pleased.
Initially the car was alright for a while, but not sure if I can recommend the garage because I had problem with my car this past Saturday. The car didn't start at all and had to be assisted before getting on the road, whilst on the road, the car kept revving noisily till I got to my destination in Radlett. I will have to take the car back to the garage to be checked again. I've not had time to contact the garage because of my work schedule. They seemed nice and I wish my complaint will be dealt with promptly so that I can give a better review.
Done a great job, my car was picked up and brought back as I wished. Changed reasonable for an extra part. Will definitely use again.
The guys were very helpful and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.

The symptoms for all types of pulmonary hypertension (PH) may be similar, and symptoms are usually more severe as the disease progresses. Symptoms of PH may include:
In advanced stages of pulmonary hypertension, minimal activity may produce some or all of these symptoms. Patients in advanced stages may experience irregular heartbeat, a racing pulse, passing out and difficulty breathing at rest.
Sometimes these symptoms mean you have another condition, but sometimes, these symptoms mean you have pulmonary hypertension.

GDB 71: Shifting Fortunes
Jonathan Willis
March 20 2009 05:24PM
It's March 20th, a rather appropriate day for things to be the opposite of how they should be. You see, it was on this day in 1815 that Napoleon returned to Paris after being imprisoned on the Island of Elba. The country turned upside down as loyalists to the French royal family were ousted and men loyal to Bonaparte were installed. Everything seemed possible, if only for a little while – even if it was only 111 days later that Napoleon would request asylum from a British naval captain and return to exile.
The Edmonton Oilers enter the United Centre tonight fresh off an 8-1 victory over Coloardo. Sam Gagner recorded a hat-trick in that game. The penalty-kill didn't allow a single goal against. Ales Kotalik looked effective; in short, the Oilers found themselves on the right end of a blowout for a change. With points in there last six games and eight of their last nine, the Oilers may even elect to give Dwayne Roloson a game off – after playing 26 straight games.
The Chicago Blackhawks, on the other hand, enter tonight's game with four straight losses, and only one win in seven games. That stretch includes losses to the Avalanche, Hurricanes, Islanders and two to the Blue Jackets. The young team, so dominant since the hiring of Joel Quenneville only four games in, have seen themselves fall to fifth in the Western Conference.
The smart money says that the Hawks rebound. The Oilers are playing their second game in two nights, and didn't even get into Chicago until 3 A.M. The odds against the Oilers are even longer when you consider that the Blackhawks have gone 3-0 against Edmonton this season, outscoring them 15-3 overall (including a 9-2 victory; their best offensive performance of the season). Add in a possible start for Jeff Deslauriers - who hasn't played since February and hasn't started since being pulled in an AHL game on January 10th – and things seem very unlikely to go the Oilers' way.
Personally, I think the Oilers might just be ready to go on a roll. Prediction:
Oilers 4 – Blackhawks 3. Goals by Sam Gagner, Patrick O'Sullivan, Ales Hemsky and Sheldon Souray.
March 20 2009, 05:31PM
Shortly after that Napolean made that great combination of chocolate, stawberry and vanilla ice cream. The only combo that comes close will be Hemsky and O'Sullivan tonight.

Unfortunately, "Neapolitan" refers to the ice cream's origins in Naples, Italy. While Napoleonic Ice Cream would surely be entertaining, I'm afraid your mix-up has mortally offended Fernando Pisani and Andrew Cogliano.

That flavour of ice cream was actually given to us by immigrants from Naples, Italy. Naples also gave the world Pope Urban VI, who died from injuries sustained from falling off a mule.
Don't ask me why I thought you might want to know that ;)
March 20 2009, 05:49PM
Ok I get it, Naples. Now how bout that other great combo of Hemmer and Sully. I suppose you're gonna say Czech republic and Ireland.
Who's in goal tonight? No word on the team 1260.
March 20 2009, 05:53PM
Anybody know where you can find a stream for the game online?
March 20 2009, 06:17PM
I didn't see it below, but Jagr has confirmed the rumours reported by David Staples earlier this year.

Typing Secret Word Will Kill Almost Any App in Apple's OS X Mountain Lion

"It just works." --Apple
While Microsoft Corp. (
) has received much admonishment for its various Windows bugs over the years, it is a dramatic new bug from the brash challenger of the the operating system world, Apple, Inc.'s (
OS X Mountain Lion
(10.8.2), which has people talking. The bug is startling simple, but it can crash almost any OS X app. All you have to do is type a word and a few characters.
I. Universal Crashes
The forbidden word is "File:///" (case sensitive). Type that in virtual any text input form (be it a notepad, a browser dialogue, a document editor, a calendar appointment, etc.) and the program will die. It appears that similar strings ("fILE:///" or "FILE://aa") can also trigger program crahes. In a bizarre twist, some crashes appear to be dependent on how fast you type certain variants (e.g. "File://" followed by characters). An
Open Radar
user named "Jonathan" shares a movie he made documenting that bizarre behavior
Among the programs confirmed to be infected are Tweetbot, Safari, Chrome, and TextEdit. The program appears to be tied somehow to some sort of deep-rooted API embedded into OS X (it appears not to be the spell-check API as the Safari location bar has no spell check, but is still affected).
In a particularly hilarious (or awful) failure, typing the problem string into Apple's Crash Reporter UI crashes the Crash Reporter.
Mountain Lion has a big bug. [Image Source: HD Wallpapers]
The bug does not affect OS X Lion (10.7) or Snow Leopard (10.6).
II. A Partial Fix?
A handful of apps, such as the image-editor Gimp, appear to be immune, perhaps because they disable whatever the trouble-making interface is. Typing the string in these apps will produce no crash.
Some users suggest that going to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text, and unchecking "Correct spelling automatically" and "Use symbol and text substitution" will stop the crashes in some apps. However, commenters say the apps continue in some programs even after doing that.
One loyal Apple user comments on the bug report:
This is actually a feature. It allows you to shut down all applications before shutting down your Mac:
Crashes Finder if typed into a Finder search field (not Spotlight, though). Crashes Safari if typed into the URL bar. Crashes Mail if typed into the search field. Crashes iTunes when typed into the search field. Crashes system-generated keychain unlock prompts (typed into the "Name:" field) Crashes Reminders if typed into the search field. ...
For now the bug is merely "interesting", but it also represents a potential security flaw. If malicious users start to use it in forms-based attacks, it could become a major headache for OS X users.
Apple for years marketed its products under the slogan "It just works", but has been
plagued with software issues
of late. Some blame Tim Cook, Apple's new CEO who replaced the late Steve Jobs, for the slipping quality. Apple's
iOS maps woes
drew a large amount of national news coverage late last year. Tim Cook
publicly apologized to his company's fans
for the poor showing.
Our Testing:
We confirmed that the bug crashes both Safari and Searchlight. For us the Crash Reporter did not come up even:
...about to crash!
The shell/terminal program in OS X appears to be immune to the crashes:
We'll update if a patch lands.

Chapter 92 has is out. It looks like Furuichi has finally got a love interest, and it's the one girl he doesn't want. Plus it's almost guaranteed that he will contract with En. We could call this his lucky day but I don't think he would agree.
I Love You!

Now that the dust has settled in the south, we thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round 9.
Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it only right to laud the star players of Super Rugby, Round 9.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections
15 Charles Piutau (Blues) – Israel Dagg was back with a bang as he racked up 190 metres but we couldn't ignore Piutau. Credit to the Blues that they have bounced back from two defeats with two wins before their bye and Piutau was excellent, hitting nice lines and getting a try to his name.
14 Henry Speight (Brumbies) – Scored inside two minutes for the side from Canberra, taking his season tally up to five. Speight was always a threat to the Highlanders and is forming a nice back-three with Jesse Mogg and Joe Tomane. Mentions for Frank Halai and Ed Stubbs.
13 Juan de Jongh (Stormers) – It was poetry in motion when De Jongh crossed after being put through by centre partner Jean de Villiers. He did not stop there though as the number thirteen continued to be solid against the Sharks. Richard Kahui was next in line after a fine shift on Saturday.
12 Andries Strauss (Kings) – Our twelve jersey was arguably the hottest property this week as the game in Waikato saw both Bundee Aki and Ben Tapuai go well while Kyle Godwin racked up sixteen tackles in victory over the Crusaders. Jean de Villiers and Jan Serfontein were also strong but for leading the Kings to victory, nineteen-tackle Strauss gets in.
11 Rod Davies (Reds) – The standout eleven for sure after he caused the Chiefs all kinds of problems with ball in hand. 159 metres for him as he played a key role in the Reds' victory.
10 Quade Cooper (Reds) – Firstly a mention for Blues Mr Cool Chris Noakes and also Kings playmaker Demetri Catrakilis who, like he did in the Currie Cup final for Western Province, landed a late drop-goal for victory. But Cooper – whether wanting to or not – sent a message to Wallaby coach Robbie Deans that he will not be downhearted and let his form suffer after his recent squad snub. Cooper scored sixteen points, with a try also recorded in Waikato.
9 Cobus Reinach (Sharks) – Now this was a tough call on Kings scrum-half Shaun Venter after that virtuoso try at the Rebels. However, Reinach was superb for the Sharks, with his carry up the middle worthy of a number eight. Jano Vermaak and Piri Weepu also shone.
8 Richard Brown (Western Force) – Was a rock against the Crusaders alongside Matt Hodgson. Peter Saili was also good for the Blues against the Hurricanes while Red Jake Schatz stoop up against the Chiefs. However, Brown played a major role for the Force.
7 George Smith (Brumbies) – This one was out of the two Australians leading the race to step in for David Pocock when the Lions arrive. Of course we wait on whether Smith will become eligible but Gill is currently leading the race, despite us plumping for the veteran.
6 Steven Luatua (Blues) – His stock continues to rise in New Zealand. So often a carrying option but it was a try-saving tackle on Reynold Lee-Lo that made us stand up and applaud. Wimpie van der Walt was another to play well but it was always going to be Luatua.
5 James Horwill (Reds) – A true captain's showing from the Wallaby. Ticked all the boxes.
4 Luke Romano (Crusaders) – One try but he could have gotten three at nib Stadium.
3 Frans Malherbe (Stormers) – The home side's pack got the better of their counterparts at scrum-time, winning penalties on a few occasions as they regularly had the Sharks back-pedaling. Malherbe was a big part of that as his journey toward a Bok shirt gathers pace.
2 James Parsons (Blues) – A bit of a tough one here as both James Hanson and Stephen Moore put their hand up for their respective Aussie outfit. Moore made 20 tackles while Hanson was strong in red. But for his good lines and set-piece, Parsons gets the nod.
1 Ben Franks (Hurricanes) – Despite being on the losing side, Franks was immense for the 'Canes with a highlight being chasing down Frank Halai, yes Frank Halai, on the wing to take him down. Tom McCartney also deserves a mention for his try-scoring effort while Stormers loosehead Steven Kitshoff was solid in getting the better of Jannie du Plessis.

text: From Tom Ascol: I confess, I have a private prayer language One of the controversies bubbling up in the Southern Baptist Convention has to do with "private prayer language." Steve McCoy recently revealed that NAMB is now asking about this in their applications for scholarships: "Do you speak in an unknown tongue (glosolalia) or have a private prayer language?"Well, I have a confession to make. I have a private prayer language. I didn't seek it. It didn't come in any kind of ecstatic jolt. I have had it for as long as I can remember. My private prayer language is the language I use when, well, praying in private. Though all prayer ought to be authentic, there are appropriate differences that should characterize the way we pray in different settings. Our public prayer should employ different language than that offered in more intimate groups, and prayers offered in private should be different from both of these. Spurgeon recognized the difference between public and private prayer and devoted separate chapters to each in his Lectures to My Students. When leading in public or corporate prayer one should remember that he is praying in behalf of those gathered. Corporate praise, corporate confession and petitions that are appropriate for the body in general should punctuate such praying. When leading a church in pastoral prayer, the minister, Spurgeon suggests, should consider the general needs and concerns that mark the congregation. "He should bring the joys and sorrows of his people alike before the throne of grace, and ask that the divine benediction may rest upon his flock...and that the forgiveness of God may be extended to their shortcomings and innumerable sins." Such prayers must seek to carry to the throne of grace all of those who are gathered for worship. Anything that would hinder spiritually minded people from following should be avoided. In small groups, prayers can be more appropriately intimate and less formal than in larger gatherings. More personal needs can be specifically brought before the Lord and, given the nature of the relationships of those present, sins can be more specifically confessed and lamented. When families or spouses pray together, those issues that uniquely concern them are proper subjects of prayer. It is appropriate for four friends to pray together specifically about personal struggles and decisions in ways that would be inappropriate in a larger gathering. When praying privately prayer can be completely intimate because it is completely private. This does not mean that it can be "cheeky" or flippant. God is still in heaven and we are still frail creatures of dust. But as children coming alone to a dearly loved and infinitely loving father, we may go to our God without regard of what others may think of our words or expressions. Our Lord prayed privately with words that were often not recorded and only partially recorded in Gethsemane. So it is with our own private prayers. They are characterized by expressions and language that is intimate and private. This is what D. M. M'Intyre means by the title of his book, The Hidden Life of Prayer. Every Christian must pray this way, behind closed doors, if you will. Our Lord specifically instructs us to engage in private prayer. "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly" (Matthew 6:6). That is what I mean when I say that I have a "private prayer language." My prayers "behind the door" are intimate, personal and transparent. I confess specific sinful attitudes and thoughts that plague my heart. I say things that would be completely inappropriate for me to say in corporate or even small group prayer. Sometimes, I don't even know what to say and find myself wordless in the presence of God as I pour my heart out to Him. At such moments I take great comfort in knowing that "the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26). Now, for the record, my "private prayer language" is not any kind of ecstatic utterance. But it most definitely is private and intimate. It is not nearly as warm, consistent or vibrant as I want it to be and hope that it may yet become, but it is real. I am not a proponent of praying in a language that is unknown--which is typically what is meant by "private prayer language." But I would sooner rejoice that a brother is praying in private than to castigate him for doing so in a way that is unintelligible. Private, personal prayer is one of the chief means whereby our hearts are cultivated for godliness. In this sense, every Christian should have a private prayer language. In fact, in my opinion anyone who doesn't should be disqualified from serving in any capacity in the SBC. Now there's a policy that surely every Southern Baptist can support!

Madrid's Germany hoodoo: One win in 25
Monday 24 February 2014
As nine-time European champions Real Madrid CF travel to FC Schalke 04, we investigate a worrying record in Germany that has brought them a solitary win in 25 trips.
Real Madrid CF have left a trail of destruction on their march to European glory over the past six decades, but there is a large tract of land that has remained mostly unconquered: Germany. Their 4-1 loss at Borussia Dortmund in last season's semi-final first leg was their 25th visit and their 18th defeat; they have managed six draws and a solitary win – against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2000. We look back at the good, the bad and the ugly.
Hamburger SV 5-1 Real Madrid
1979/80 European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-finals
Madrid had one foot in their ninth European Cup final after beating Hamburg 2-0 in the opening instalment of this last-four tie. Yet, in what is regarded as HSV's finest hour (and a half), those dreams were shattered. Their first-leg advantage was cancelled out inside 16 minutes by a Manfred Kaltz penalty and trademark Horst Hrubesch header.
Laurie Cunningham replied but by half-time Hamburg were in the box seat after further efforts from Kaltz and Hrubesch; Caspar Memering's last-minute strike capped a memorable triumph. "The fans didn't want to go home and stayed in the stadium for around an hour," recalled defender Ditmar Jakobs. "It was the best HSV match of all time."
1. FC Kaiserslautern 5-0 Real Madrid
1981/82 UEFA Cup quarter-finals
In a game with distinct echoes of that Hamburg meeting, Madrid arrived in Germany with a two-goal first-leg cushion – 3-1 on this occasion – yet were back to square one in no time. Two early strikes from Friedhelm Funkel gave Kaiserslautern an away-goals advantage and Madrid, the wounds of two years earlier reopened, imploded.
Isidoro San José and Cunningham were sent off before the interval and, after Ronnie Hellström had saved Rafael García Cortés's penalty, Francisco Pineda followed them down the tunnel midway through the second period. All the while the Red Devils kept picking off visitors, captained by Vicente del Bosque, with Hannes Bongartz (48), Norbert Eilenfeldt (55) and Reiner Geye (71) all scoring.
VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-1 Real Madrid
1985/86 UEFA Cup third round
Mönchengladbach's Bökelbergstadion was too small to accommodate the hordes wanting a glimpse of Madrid so this tie was switched to Dusseldorf – and the 65,000 crowd were not disappointed. Amid driving rain Jupp Heynckes's side did not so much make themselves at home as raid the fridge, light a fire and fall asleep in front of the TV.
Frank Mill's strike and José Antonio Salguero's own goal put Mönchengladbach 2-0 up at the break, and better was to follow. "In the second half we completely outclassed them," said Uwe Rahn, who scored twice before Ewald Lienen added another. A consolation effort from Rafael Gordillo, who was later red-carded, would prove decisive, though, as Madrid won 4-0 at home to take the tie on away goals.
FC Bayern München 4-1 Real Madrid
1999/2000 UEFA Champions League second group stage
On paper, the Merengues' were the favourites, yet twice in nine days in March 2000, Bayern tore up the script. They triumphed 4-2 at the Santiago Bernabéu and went even better the following week, displaying the ruthless streak that would serve them so well in their run to 2001 European glory.
Madrid landed in Bavaria attempting to rebuild confidence after their chastening defeat but were two down inside the first half-hour after goals from Mehmet Scholl and Giovane Elber. Iván Helguera raised hopes of a comeback, only for substitute Alexander Zickler to sink them with two goals.
FC Bayern München 2-1 Real Madrid
2000/01 UEFA Champions League semi-finals
It was a closer affair 12 months later. Elber had earned a 1-0 victory at the Bernabéu and his header eight minutes into the return put Bayern firmly in the driving seat. Luís Figo's swift response made it a less comfortable ride, though Ottmar Hitzfeld's tactic of soaking up pressure and hitting the visitors on the break worked perfectly.
Jens Jeremies earned the hosts breathing space before half-time, rifling in following Scholl's tapped free-kick and there was no way back for Madrid. "The team performed fantastically. To beat Real twice is sensational. We have completed a small miracle," said Hitzfeld, whose team beat Valencia CF in the final.
Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid
2012/13 UEFA Champions League semi-finals
Madrid's sixth successive defeat on German soil and certainly one of the most comprehensive as Robert Lewandowski crushed José Mourinho's men, the Polish striker becoming the first player to score four goals in a UEFA Champions League semi-final. The only really surprise as the bones were picked over the following day was how Madrid, through Cristiano Ronaldo, had briefly gained parity either side of half-time.
"Something clicked in the second half," said coach Jürgen Klopp. "I've never seen such a great goal as Lewy's third – that was absolutely amazing. It was a great experience which will remain a lasting memory for everyone involved, no matter what happens in the return leg." His team conceded twice late on in a 2-0 loss in Madrid but there was no undoing this performance.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2-3 Real Madrid
2000/01 UEFA Champions League group stage
Madrid's lone success in 24 attempts in Germany came in 2000 though they did it the hard way. Twice Del Bosque's side fell behind in this matchday two fixture, to goals from Bernd Schneider and Michael Ballack, only for Roberto Carlos and Guti to restore parity. Roberto Carlos then hit the winner 15 minutes from time, capitalising on Jens Nowotny's error and powering in.
It was the only time in 144 appearances in UEFA competition that the Brazilian left-back scored twice in a game. Madrid could do with something just as special in Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday.

Aurora the Bornean Orangutan, Houston Zoo Baby orangutans cling to their mothers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Since baby Aurora was rejected by her mom after birth, 50 zoo employees and volunteers are taking turns holding her round the clock.
When Aurora's not being cuddled by staffers wearing a faux-fur vest, she's clinging to a stuffed-toy orangutan buddy.
Asali the Masai Giraffe, Houston Zoo The 150-pound bundle of joy was nursing and standing on her own just an hour after arriving.
After 14 months of pregnancy (yikes!), mom Tyra delivered Asali ("honey" in Swahili) on March 4.
Christopher and Connor, the Malayan Tigers; San Diego Zoo The 7.7-pound babies sleep most of the day, nurse on their 12-year-old mama, Mek Degong, when they are awake, and should be ready to make their public debut sometime in July.
Adhama the Hippo, San Diego Zoo About 100 visitors were treated to a real Discovery Channel moment on January 26, when pregnant hippo Funani birthed a calf right in front of their eyes.
Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko, San Diego Zoo Don't let the name of this species scare you: This little lizard is devilishly cute with its orange bug-eyes and minute, signature horns.
Wûshi the Sichuan Takin, San Diego Zoo He's distinguished himself from the 49 other takins (hoofed mammals with characteristics similar to moose, wildebeests, and bison) born before him at the zoo by climbing with aplomb and head-butting everything in sight—including his poor grandmother Bea.
Capybara, San Diego Zoo Yes, these creatures are technically rodents—the world's largest. But somehow, this not-yet-named baby looks a heck of a lot more cuddly than a rat.
Caspian the Eurasian Eagle Owl, Cincinnati Zoo This fluffy owl chick hatched on March 30—and though he emerged at only around a quarter of a pound, he could grow to have a wingspan of six feet!
Zuri the Masai Giraffe, Cincinnati Zoo Four-year-old Tessa became a first-time mom on April 2, when her little Zuri (Swahili for "beautiful") became the first giraffe to be born at the zoo since 1985.
Pancake Tortoises, Cincinnati Zoo Parents Dagwood and Blondie welcomed a pair of babies on April 4. Just like Mom and Dad and the rest of the African species, they have flat, flexible shells, making them much more agile than your average turtle.
Garnett's Galago, Cincinnati Zoo The nocturnal, East African primate already loves learning to run, climb, and leap, taking after its agile parents.
Rajasi, Lisu, and Yim, the Clouded Leopards; Nashville Zoo Mid-March was a busy time at this zoo: on March 19, Jing Jai gave birth to Rajasi, a male (named for a fierce forest creature in Thai mythology), and Lisu, a female (named for a tribe in northwest Thailand). Four days later, Lom Choy delivered Yim ("smile" in Thai).
Chessie the Grevy's Zebra, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens The little guy's arrival was cause for extra celebration, as, unlike other types of zebras, this species is rapidly moving toward extinction: Only an estimated 2,200 remain in the wild today.
Brute the Giant Anteater, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens As tough as his name may be, he's pretty tender, clinging to mom Stella-Abril's tail—standard behavior for these little guys—while dad Killroy looks on.
Baker the Bonobo, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens One of the newest arrivals on the zoo circuit is this baby girl, born on April 19 to mama (and bonobo-group matriarch) Lorel.
Baker's mom is 42—the third-oldest bonobo in the nation and the oldest bonobo in North America to give birth (to a living offspring).
Kasi the Cheetah, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay This furry cub was transferred as a newborn from the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, where the baby's mother was unable to care for him.
Kasi means "one with speed" in Swahili, and he's become fast friends with a Labrador puppy, brought in to help the cub form a social bond.
Thomson's Gazelle, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay This still-unnamed gazelle weighed in at four pounds when she was born on February 25.
When she refused to take milk from her mother, staff members began bottle-feeding her five times a day, and she put on weight quickly—a whopping six pounds by April.
Aardvark, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay When this not-yet-named baby's mama was inattentive, zoo staffers stepped in to care for the cub.
This new male baby is incredibly rare, considering that North American zoos harbor about 35 aardvarks total (not to mention the fact that there are less than a dozen aardvarks born each year).
Hoffman's Two-toed Sloth, Lincoln Park Zoo This babe hugs his first-time mom tightly as she hangs upside-down from the trees (the main activity for these mammals, the slowest in the world).
The unnamed offspring arrived on February 15 and will get around by being carried by his mama, like all baby sloths, for up to five months.
Rusty, Bordeaux, Chianti, and Mena, the Red-Ruffed Lemurs; Denver Zoo After a quick gestation period of just over 100 days, first-time mom Sixpence gave birth on March 12 to a brood of four. When fully grown, the Madagascar natives will be about three feet long, with tails about the same length.
Cole, the Mini-Nubian Goat, Central Park Zoo Cole and his siblings—Dawn, Lucy, and Ringo—are collectively known as the "new kids on the block."
The newcomers live in the Children's Zoo, where visitors are welcome to pet the critters.
Goeldi's Monkey, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Mom Lola already has nine other children, so she's clearly a pro—which may explain why her as-yet-unnamed baby clung to her constantly for the first several weeks. Even fully grown, it will always be a little bitty thing: Adult Goeldi's monkeys are only slightly larger than your average squirrel.
Akoni and Safara, the Red River Hogs; Cheyenne Mountain Zoo The new hogs—endangered in their native Africa—are learning how to root, wallow, and squeal.
First-time parents Ari and Huey welcomed their boy and girl on March 23.
D.J. the Patas Monkey, Rosamond Gifford Zoo This little African primate is a total ham who likes to make faces at the visitors, especially when they're snapping her photo.
Humboldt Penguins, Rosamond Gifford Zoo In March, lucky mom and dad Poquita and Frederico welcomed a pair of penguins, and another couple had a third within four days.
These birds need to undergo a blood test to determine their gender, and since it's zoo tradition to give the Chilean and Peruvian natives Latino names, the boy-girl facts are a must.
Daniel the Masai Giraffe, Santa Barbara Zoo Zookeepers got a major shock on an early January morning when they discovered that Audrey the giraffe—who hadn't shown any obvious signs of pregnancy—had delivered a calf, weighing 106 pounds and standing 5'9" at birth.
Golden Lion Tamarin, Santa Barbara Zoo Upon his February 19 arrival, this bright orange baby (still unnamed) was roughly the size of a C-size battery.
For months, the little one clung tightly to mama's back, letting go only long enough to nurse.
Clouded Leopards, Smithsonian National Zoological Park On March 28, mom Sita and dad Ta Moon welcomed a pair of cuddly cubs, one boy and one girl.
For now, these two are being raised at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va.
Wattled Crane, Smithsonian National Zoological Park On March 20, a male crane was hatched at the Smithsonian, just the third of its kind in the zoo's history.
Unlike its white parents, the baby has soft yellow feathers, and its signature below-the-beak wattle is quite small.
Ariki the North Island Brown Kiwi, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium The zoo had been trying to breed its female kiwi (an endangered species) for nine years, and the arrival of Ariki (a Polynesian word for "chief") was especially monumental: The Columbus Zoo is only the third zoo in North America since 1975 to successfully hatch a kiwi chick.
Wilbur the Bonobo, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Bonobos are known for their frisky nature, so it took some time—and the aid of a paternity test—to identify the father of baby Wilbur, born just before the new year. Doting mama Ana Neema has two other offspring, nine-year-old Bila Isa and four-year-old Gilda.
An Ma the Francois Langur, Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Garden An Ma—part of a group of leaf-eating monkeys who are native to the Indian subcontinent—was born on February 8; though her fur is already turning black and gray, she was born bright orange, which made her hard to miss.
Chiquita, Bonita, and Vinny, the Maned Wolves; Natural Science Center of Greensboro While the fuzzy brown babies certainly look related, their personalities could not be more different: Chiquita is sassy, Bonita is gentle, and Vinny is, so far, inscrutable.
All three enjoy running and hiding—especially from humans.
Sichuan Takins, the Wilds Talk about a birthday party! Between March and April, each of the seven Sichuan takins living in this 10,000-acre open-range habitat gave birth to a baby.
