Chapter 72—"In Remembrance of Me"
This chapter is based on Matthew 26:20-29; Mark 14:17-25; Luke 22:14-23; John 13:18-30
"The Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till He come." 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.DA 652.1
Christ was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. He, the spotless Lamb of God, was about to present Himself as a sin offering, that He would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies that for four thousand years had pointed to His death. As He ate the Passover with His disciples, He instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of His great sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. The service which Christ established was to be observed by His followers in all lands and through all ages.DA 652.2
The Passover was ordained as a commemoration of the deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage. God had directed that, year by year, as the children should ask the meaning of this ordinance, the history should be repeated. Thus the wonderful deliverance was to be kept fresh in the minds of all. The ordinance of the Lord's Supper was given to commemorate the great deliverance wrought out as the result of the death of Christ. Till He shall come the second time in power and glory, this ordinance is to be celebrated. It is the means by which His great work for us is to be kept fresh in our minds.DA 652.3
At the time of their deliverance from Egypt, the children of Israel ate the Passover supper standing, with their loins girded, and with their staves in their hands, ready for their journey. The manner in which they celebrated this ordinance harmonized with their condition; for they were about to be thrust out of the land of Egypt, and were to begin a painful and difficult journey through the wilderness. But in Christ's time the condition of things had changed. They were not now about to be thrust out of a strange country, but were dwellers in their own land. In harmony with the rest that had been given them, the people then partook of the Passover supper in a reclining position. Couches were placed about the table, and the guests lay upon them, resting upon the left arm, and having the right hand free for use in eating. In this position a guest could lay his head upon the breast of the one who sat next above him. And the feet, being at the outer edge of the couch, could be washed by one passing around the outside of the circle.DA 653.1
Christ is still at the table on which the paschal supper has been spread. The unleavened cakes used at the Passover season are before Him. The Passover wine, untouched by fermentation, is on the table. These emblems Christ employs to represent His own unblemished sacrifice. Nothing corrupted by fermentation, the symbol of sin and death, could represent the "Lamb without blemish and without spot." 1 Peter 1:19.DA 653.2
"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My body. And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."DA 653.3
Judas the betrayer was present at the sacramental service. He received from Jesus the emblems of His broken body and His spilled blood. He heard the words, "This do in remembrance of Me." And sitting there in the very presence of the Lamb of God, the betrayer brooded upon his own dark purposes, and cherished his sullen, revengeful thoughts.DA 653.4
At the feet washing, Christ had given convincing proof that He understood the character of Judas. "Ye are not all clean" (John 13:11), He said. These words convinced the false disciple that Christ read his secret purpose. Now Christ spoke out more plainly. As they were seated at the table He said, looking upon His disciples, "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me."DA 653.5
Even now the disciples did not suspect Judas. But they saw that Christ appeared greatly troubled. A cloud settled over them all, a premonition of some dreadful calamity, the nature of which they did not understand. As they ate in silence, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me." At these words amazement and consternation seized them. They could not comprehend how any one of them could deal treacherously with their divine Teacher. For what cause could they betray Him? and to whom? Whose heart could give birth to such a design? Surely not one of the favored twelve, who had been privileged above all others to hear His teachings, who had shared His wonderful love, and for whom He had shown such great regard by bringing them into close communion with Himself!DA 654.1
As they realized the import of His words, and remembered how true His sayings were, fear and self-distrust seized them. They began to search their own hearts to see if one thought against their Master were harbored there. With the most painful emotion, one after another inquired, "Lord, is it I?" But Judas sat silent. John in deep distress at last inquired, "Lord, who is it?" And Jesus answered, "He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me. The Son of man goeth as it is written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born." The disciples had searched one another's faces closely as they asked, "Lord, is it I?" And now the silence of Judas drew all eyes to him. Amid the confusion of questions and expressions of astonishment, Judas had not heard the words of Jesus in answer to John's question. But now, to escape the scrutiny of the disciples, he asked as they had done, "Master, is it I?" Jesus solemnly replied, "Thou hast said."DA 654.2
In surprise and confusion at the exposure of his purpose, Judas rose hastily to leave the room. "Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.... He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night." Night it was to the traitor as he turned away from Christ into the outer darkness.DA 654.3
Until this step was taken, Judas had not passed beyond the possibility of repentance. But when he left the presence of his Lord and his fellow disciples, the final decision had been made. He had passed the boundary line.DA 654.4
Wonderful had been the long-suffering of Jesus in His dealing with this tempted soul. Nothing that could be done to save Judas had been left undone. After he had twice covenanted to betray his Lord, Jesus still gave him opportunity for repentance. By reading the secret purpose of the traitor's heart, Christ gave to Judas the final, convincing evidence of His divinity. This was to the false disciple the last call to repentance. No appeal that the divine-human heart of Christ could make had been spared. The waves of mercy, beaten back by stubborn pride, returned in a stronger tide of subduing love. But although surprised and alarmed at the discovery of his guilt, Judas became only the more determined. From the sacramental supper he went out to complete the work of betrayal.DA 655.1
In pronouncing the woe upon Judas, Christ also had a purpose of mercy toward His disciples. He thus gave them the crowning evidence of His Messiahship. "I tell you before it come," He said, "that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM." Had Jesus remained silent, in apparent ignorance of what was to come upon Him, the disciples might have thought that their Master had not divine foresight, and had been surprised and betrayed into the hands of the murderous mob. A year before, Jesus had told the disciples that He had chosen twelve, and that one was a devil. Now His words to Judas, showing that his treachery was fully known to his Master, would strengthen the faith of Christ's true followers during His humiliation. And when Judas should have come to his dreadful end, they would remember the woe that Jesus had pronounced upon the betrayer.DA 655.2
And the Saviour had still another purpose. He had not withheld His ministry from him whom He knew to be a traitor. The disciples did not understand His words when He said at the feet washing, "Ye are not all clean," nor yet when at the table He declared, "He that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me." John 13:11, 18. But afterward, when His meaning was made plain, they had something to consider as to the patience and mercy of God toward the most grievously erring.DA 655.3
Though Jesus knew Judas from the beginning, He washed his feet. And the betrayer was privileged to unite with Christ in partaking of the sacrament. A long-suffering Saviour held out every inducement for the sinner to receive Him, to repent, and to be cleansed from the defilement of sin. This example is for us. When we suppose one to be in error and sin, we are not to divorce ourselves from him. By no careless separation are we to leave him a prey to temptation, or drive him upon Satan's battleground. This is not Christ's method. It was because the disciples were erring and faulty that He washed their feet, and all but one of the twelve were thus brought to repentance.DA 655.4
Christ's example forbids exclusiveness at the Lord's Supper. It is true that open sin excludes the guilty. This the Holy Spirit plainly teaches. 1 Corinthians 5:11. But beyond this none are to pass judgment. God has not left it with men to say who shall present themselves on these occasions. For who can read the heart? Who can distinguish the tares from the wheat? "Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup." For "whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord." "He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." 1 Corinthians 11:28, 27, 29.DA 656.1
When believers assemble to celebrate the ordinances, there are present messengers unseen by human eyes. There may be a Judas in the company, and if so, messengers from the prince of darkness are there, for they attend all who refuse to be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Heavenly angels also are present. These unseen visitants are present on every such occasion. There may come into the company persons who are not in heart servants of truth and holiness, but who may wish to take part in the service. They should not be forbidden. There are witnesses present who were present when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and of Judas. More than human eyes beheld the scene.DA 656.2
Christ by the Holy Spirit is there to set the seal to His own ordinance. He is there to convict and soften the heart. Not a look, not a thought of contrition, escapes His notice. For the repentant, brokenhearted one He is waiting. All things are ready for that soul's reception. He who washed the feet of Judas longs to wash every heart from the stain of sin.DA 656.3
None should exclude themselves from the Communion because some who are unworthy may be present. Every disciple is called upon to participate publicly, and thus bear witness that he accepts Christ as a personal Saviour. It is at these, His own appointments, that Christ meets His people, and energizes them by His presence. Hearts and hands that are unworthy may even administer the ordinance, yet Christ is there to minister to His children. All who come with their faith fixed upon Him will be greatly blessed. All who neglect these seasons of divine privilege will suffer loss. Of them it may appropriately be said, "Ye are not all clean."DA 656.4
In partaking with His disciples of the bread and wine, Christ pledged Himself to them as their Redeemer. He committed to them the new covenant, by which all who receive Him become children of God, and joint heirs with Christ. By this covenant every blessing that heaven could bestow for this life and the life to come was theirs. This covenant deed was to be ratified with the blood of Christ. And the administration of the Sacrament was to keep before the disciples the infinite sacrifice made for each of them individually as a part of the great whole of fallen humanity.DA 656.5
But the Communion service was not to be a season of sorrowing. This was not its purpose. As the Lord's disciples gather about His table, they are not to remember and lament their shortcomings. They are not to dwell upon their past religious experience, whether that experience has been elevating or depressing. They are not to recall the differences between them and their brethren. The preparatory service has embraced all this. The self-examination, the confession of sin, the reconciling of differences, has all been done. Now they come to meet with Christ. They are not to stand in the shadow of the cross, but in its saving light. They are to open the soul to the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness. With hearts cleansed by Christ's most precious blood, in full consciousness of His presence, although unseen, they are to hear His words, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you." John 14:27.DA 659.1
Our Lord says, Under conviction of sin, remember that I died for you. When oppressed and persecuted and afflicted for My sake and the gospel's, remember My love, so great that for you I gave My life. When your duties appear stern and severe, and your burdens too heavy to bear, remember that for your sake I endured the cross, despising the shame. When your heart shrinks from the trying ordeal, remember that your Redeemer liveth to make intercession for you.DA 659.2
The Communion service points to Christ's second coming. It was designed to keep this hope vivid in the minds of the disciples. Whenever they met together to commemorate His death, they recounted how "He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." In their tribulation they found comfort in the hope of their Lord's return. Unspeakably precious to them was the thought, "As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till He come." 1 Corinthians 11:26.DA 659.3
These are the things we are never to forget. The love of Jesus, with its constraining power, is to be kept fresh in our memory. Christ has instituted this service that it may speak to our senses of the love of God that has been expressed in our behalf. There can be no union between our souls and God except through Christ. The union and love between brother and brother must be cemented and rendered eternal by the love of Jesus. And nothing less than the death of Christ could make His love efficacious for us. It is only because of His death that we can look with joy to His second coming. His sacrifice is the center of our hope. Upon this we must fix our faith.DA 660.1
The ordinances that point to our Lord's humiliation and suffering are regarded too much as a form. They were instituted for a purpose. Our senses need to be quickened to lay hold of the mystery of godliness. It is the privilege of all to comprehend, far more than we do, the expiatory sufferings of Christ. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness," even so has the Son of man been lifted up, "that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:14, 15. To the cross of Calvary, bearing a dying Saviour, we must look. Our eternal interests demand that we show faith in Christ.DA 660.2
Our Lord has said, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.... For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." John 6:53-55. This is true of our physical nature. To the death of Christ we owe even this earthly life. The bread we eat is the purchase of His broken body. The water we drink is bought by His spilled blood. Never one, saint or sinner, eats his daily food, but he is nourished by the body and the blood of Christ. The cross of Calvary is stamped on every loaf. It is reflected in every water spring. All this Christ has taught in appointing the emblems of His great sacrifice. The light shining from that Communion service in the upper chamber makes sacred the provisions for our daily life. The family board becomes as the table of the Lord, and every meal a sacrament.DA 660.3
And how much more are Christ's words true of our spiritual nature. He declares, "Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life." It is by receiving the life for us poured out on Calvary's cross, that we can live the life of holiness. And this life we receive by receiving His word, by doing those things which He has commanded. Thus we become one with Him. "He that eateth My flesh," He says, "and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in Me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me." John 6:54, 56, 57. To the holy Communion this scripture in a special sense applies. As faith contemplates our Lord's great sacrifice, the soul assimilates the spiritual life of Christ. That soul will receive spiritual strength from every Communion. The service forms a living connection by which the believer is bound up with Christ, and thus bound up with the Father. In a special sense it forms a connection between dependent human beings and God.DA 660.4
As we receive the bread and wine symbolizing Christ's broken body and spilled blood, we in imagination join in the scene of Communion in the upper chamber. We seem to be passing through the garden consecrated by the agony of Him who bore the sins of the world. We witness the struggle by which our reconciliation with God was obtained. Christ is set forth crucified among us.DA 661.1
Looking upon the crucified Redeemer, we more fully comprehend the magnitude and meaning of the sacrifice made by the Majesty of heaven. The plan of salvation is glorified before us, and the thought of Calvary awakens living and sacred emotions in our hearts. Praise to God and the Lamb will be in our hearts and on our lips; for pride and self-worship cannot flourish in the soul that keeps fresh in memory the scenes of Calvary.DA 661.2
He who beholds the Saviour's matchless love will be elevated in thought, purified in heart, transformed in character. He will go forth to be a light to the world, to reflect in some degree this mysterious love. The more we contemplate the cross of Christ, the more fully shall we adopt the language of the apostle when he said, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Galatians 6:14.DA 661.3

Upgrading to the new iPhone 7 has several benefits and features that are obviously not available in the older versions. After Apple released their latest flagship smartphone, much of the talk revolved around the absence of the headphone jack. Although the iPhone 7 is a minor upgrade of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, buyers will enjoy several benefits. Here are some of them.
Water resistance
This is one of the features new to the iPhone. The iPhone is 7 is IP67, meaning that it is designed to withstand liquids and dust. Even though Apple doesn't define liquid protection, this is similar to the original Apple Watch and is therefore able to survive splashes and accidental drops into a pool of water, a welcome addition for iPhone users who value water resistance in their gadgetry.
Future proof
Future compatibility is another feature of iPhone 7. Apple's current mobile operating system is iOS 10 and runs a range of applications and features not available to outdated iPhone models. But iPhone 7 can virtually run any app ever created for the platform. Therefore, an iPhone 7 will carry its users well into the future by running on the latest technology. Users of iPhone 4 or 4S are out of compatibility and may consider upgrading. Users of iPhone 5 or 5C are on edge and should also probably consider an update.
Better graphics
The iPhone 7 boasts a 4.7-inch screen and 1336 x 750 pixels at 326ppi, which allows users to run iPad-style apps in a landscape display. iPhone 7 also has DCI-P3 broad-range color, which means brighter photos, games, videos and more. People who demand rich graphics or have a high acute color sense certainly won't be disappointed.
Faster and juicier
Apple Fusion 10 and long battery life are the features that make iPhone 7 cutting edge. People who need an iPhone with more power and a battery that fully charges in minutes — not hours — will love this upgrade. The new iPhone 7 has a cutting-edge LTE + Wi-Fi, enabling faster transfer of data and connectivity. Users with 802.11ac router who want to open applications, load webpages, and stream videos at a faster rate won't have anything to complain about once they've switched over to the new model.
Stellar camera
iPhone 7 features a camera that can perform at the same-level as mid-range SLR cameras. With a 12-megapixel sensor and ƒ/1.8 aperture, as well as 7 megapixels for FaceTime conversations, individuals who want to fill their Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook accounts with high-quality photos will definitely have something to brag about. Finally, the iPhone 7's 3D and live photos feature can add depth and movement to your photos.
Although the iPhone 7 may not look very different, there's actually a lot going on under the hood that can probably enhance the user experience. So will you be lining up for this iPhone anytime soon? For more details on iPhone 7 trends and Apple innovation, contact us today.

Picasso - Japanese - Profil en Trois Couleurs
Picasso - Japanese - Profil en Trois Couleurs
(51cm x 72cm)
This poster is designed for a Picasso exhibition at the Kamakura Museum of Modern Art in Japan. The Museum of Modern Art, Kamakura & Hayama is the first public modern art museum in Japan. The poster uses vibrating strokes to portray a profile that evokes Picasso's style.
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also known as Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 - 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France. Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Exceptionally prolific throughout the course of his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments, and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Infernal Mobs Mod randomly imbues spawning Living Things in the World with Diablo-style random Enchantments, making them much harder and much more rewarding to kill.
There are three kinds of infernal mobs:
- Rare – 2-4 effects, 2-4 times the base HP
- Ultra – 7 effects, 7 times the base HP
- Infernal – 10-11 effects, 10-11 times base HP.
This mod makes Minecraft much more difficult while adding nice rewards. Mobs now have a rare chance of having special effects and increased hit points. It is very rewarding because they have a high chance of dropping diamond equipment.
Possible Special Abilities:
- 1UP – Mobs heals fully, once, upon getting low
- Alchemist – Throws random potions at the player, may throw a positive potion effect (i.e. Water Breathing or Swiftness)
- Berserk – Mob deals double damage, but hurts itself upon attacking you
- Blastoff – Tosses Players into the air
- Bulwark – Mob has 50% damage resistance
- Cloaking – Invisibility Potion effect on Mob
- Darkness – Blindness Potion effect on Player, can set time to night
- Ender – Can teleport to dodge attacks, reflecting damage on the Player
- Exhaust – Exhaust Potion effect on Player
- Fiery – Sets the Player on Fire, immune to fire-damage
- Ghastly – Shoots Ghast Fireballs
- Gravity – Knocks back or pulls Players
- Lifesteal – Heals from attacking
- Ninja – Can teleport to dodge attacks, reflecting damage on the Player, 4 second resistance buff after teleport
- Poisonous – Poisons Player
- Quicksand – Slowness effect on Player
- Regen – Heals 2 Health per second
- Rust – Causes high amounts of wear on the player's weapon when hit and on the player's armor when the mob hits the player
- Sapper – Hunger Potion effect on Player
- Sprint – High movement speed bursts
- Sticky – Has a chance to cause the player to drop the item they attacked the mob with (including ranged weapon), however, this ability has a cooldown
- Storm – Calls down Lightning
- Twin – Comes Back at full health after dying
- Undying – Has a chance to respawn with full health.
- Vengeance – Reflects a portion of all damage done. Reflected damage will apply other on-damage abilities like blastoff and wither.
- Weakness – Weakness Potion effect on Player
- Webber – Spawns Webs at the Players legs, immobilizing the player
- Wither – Applies the Wither effect to the Player
Bosses can become immensely powerful through the Infernal Mobs mod. Vanilla boss and most bosses added by Hexxit mods are liable to become supercharged. Bosses will gain and use abilities, although they will spawn at their base HP. However, these bosses will regenerate to their multiplied HP if they have 1UP, Regen, or any other kind of healing. Wither HP will hard cap at 300, but Pirate Bosses, Spider Bosses, Necromancers, etc. can become extremely durable.
Making any hostile mob Infernal:
Find and open your .technic folder (in roaming), open the hexxit folder, open the config folder, open the InfernalMobs cfg file with notepad and from there it is self-explanatory.
Replacing the original numbers into higher numbers would up the spawn rates of those with effects.
Unlike vanilla mobs, Infernal Mobs will drop mid-high level loot. List of possible loot (not complete yet):
- Diamonds and Diamond Tools/Armors/Weapons
- Meteorite Tools/Armors/Weapons
- Ender Giant Swords
- Shields/Gilded
- Livingmetal tools/Weapons
- Hexical Diamond
- Glowing bread
- Bane of Pigs (Very unlikely, and only by infernal ones, no other)
- Enchanted Book
- Normal staffs
Note: The loot dropped may be enchantable, and if the loot dropped is enchanted, it usually is enchanted with high level enchantments (i.e. Sharpness III). You can add/remove what is dropped by Infernal mobs by doing the same processes as making a mob infernal but instead change the item ID's to the items wanted.
- Soul Shard spawners and vanilla spawners can spawn Infernal mobs.
- Any mob has the possibility of spawning as an infernal mob, including bosses and even small slimes spawned from larger ones.
- If an infernal mob is healed (potion of instant health etc.), its HP will become the mob's original max HP. This happens because infernal mobs have bonus HP rather than increased max HP, so if the mob is healed in any way it will 'update' and return to the max HP.
- Any mob's ability from this mod is disabled in the Rift Dimension.
- Infernal mobs can spawn from spawn eggs.
- Encountering infernal mobs early in a playthrough can be dangerous, as their increased life and special traits can make them exceedingly difficult to defeat, depending on the mob. However, such a feat can be very rewarding, as the valuable items gained can give the player an edge early in the game.
- Infernal mobs with the 'Alchemist' modifier often throw splash potions of water breathing at the player. While dangerous, this can also be very useful in flooded areas or areas with large bodies of water.
- Sometimes, as the infernal mobs "spawn", the spawner from the battle towers can make a lot of them, and the fact that they relate between levels, this could make a battle tower almost impossible.
- If killed by an environmental feature such as Fall Damage, they won't drop any rare drop.
- Baby slimes are an extremely good mob to have Infernal effects, as they will be still easy to kill, given that one punch will kill them normally.
How to install Infernal Mobs Mod:
- Download and install Minecraft Forge.
- Download the mod.
- Click on the Start Menu in Windows.
- Type run into the search box, and select the Run program at the top of the results.
- Type %appdata% into the Run program, and press Enter.
- Go to .minecraft/mods folder.
- Drag and drop the downloaded jar (zip) file into that.
- Enjoy the mod.

TCU beats Cal 10-7 in overtime of wild Cheez-It Bowl
PHOENIX (AP) - TCU swapped kickers after California called a timeout at the end of regulation - and missed.
Faced with a similar decision in overtime, the Horned Frogs stuck with their original kicker.
Jonathan Song delivered on his second-chance kick, ending a strange night in the desert.
Song kicked a 27-yard field in overtime after being replaced at the end of regulation, lifting TCU to a 10-7 win in an interception-filled Cheez-It Bowl on Wednesday night.
'They talked me out of it," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "I obviously got a chance to tell them they were wrong on the headset. We got another chance and did it."
TCU and Cal spent the night trading interceptions, turning the Cheez-It Bowl into the Cheez-INT Bowl by combining for nine interceptions, most in the bowl's 30-year history.
TCU's Jawuan Johnson had the final interception of the night to open overtime, nearly returning it for a pick-six.
At the end of regulation, the Horned Frogs (7-6) followed a Cal timeout by switching from Song to Cole Bunce, who hooked his 44-yard attempt wide left. TCU sent out Song again in overtime and, after another Cal timeout, opted to leave him.
The junior sent the kick straight through the uprights and the Horned Frogs rushing onto the field after a night of survival.
TCU's Sewo Olonilua ran for 194 yards and a touchdown - one of the few offensive bright spots outside of Song's kick.
"It was a rough day for sure. Ugly win," said TCU quarterback Grayson Muehlstein, who threw four interceptions and had 27 yards on 7-of-20 passing. "Turned the ball over way too many times, but we managed to just hang in there and just keep fighting."
Jaylinn Hawkins had three interceptions, breaking the Cheez-It Bowl record while earning defensive player of the game.
The Bears (7-6) just couldn't overcome their own miscues.
Cal's Chase Garbers threw three interceptions before being replaced by Chase Forrest, who threw two more - including the biggest one by Johnson in overtime.
"We just made too many mistakes during the game to win against a quality opponent like that," Cal second-year coach Justin Wilcox said.
Cal had the first big play after a miscommunication between Muehlstein and Jarrison Stewart led to Hawkins' first interception. Garbers scored two plays later on a 4-yard run .
Five more interceptions followed in the first half - one on a failed TCU trick play - and Cal led 7-0.
Garbers completed 12 of 19 passes, but had three interceptions so Cal's coaches opted to start Forrest in the second half.
"After the first half, you have some decisions like that that," Wilcox said. "Chase Garbers made and a couple of balls he obviously would like to have back. We felt like we needed a little bit of a spark."
TCU left Muehlstein in at quarterback despite three first-half interceptions. Hawkins picked up his third interception of the game on the opening drive and Muehlstein was briefly replaced by true freshman Justin Rogers before returning.
The Horned Frogs finally got something going in the third quarter, scoring their only touchdown on Olonilua's 2-yard run - a run initially ruled short before being overturned on review.
Neither team could get much going the rest of the half and the interceptions continued until Song sent his chance kick through the uprights.
"I'm glad that's over," Patterson said.
The Horned got in their own way all night, yet found a way to close out the season with a victory.
The Bears also couldn't get out of their own way, suffering a defeat that will sting all offseason.
Buffalo Wild Wings was the bowl's sponsor from 2012-13 before it became the Cactus Bowl. Cheez-It came on as the title sponsor this year and Buffalo Wild Wings couldn't resist a little Twitter jab as the strange night wore on.
"Cal-TCU is headed to overtime, and we've never owed you a bigger apology," the company tweeted.
TCU was called for a sideline interference penalty on Johnson's overtime interception when sports information director Mark Cohen stepped onto the field to celebrate.
Patterson was not thrilled and couldn't resist a couple of digs.
"Jiminy Christmas," he said. "Have you guys ever known that, in 150 years of a football that the SID gets a penalty?"
TCU: Robinson transferred to Missouri, but the Horned Frogs hope to have Collins back and healthy next season. Top receiver Jalen Reagor also is a sophomore, so he should be back in 2019.
Cal: RB Patrick Laird and top linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk are seniors, but Garbers is a freshman and the offensive line is relatively young.

As a traditional business you focus on many forms of marketing. If you are a small business, you may rely largely on word of mouth marketing, getting your customers to give you referrals. You probably have business cards, brochures, and flyers. And your website is probably geared toward these same marketing concepts of providing company information and cool pictures.
Unfortunately, in today's society a business website cannot be another traditional marketing tool found accidentally online or only by your existing customers. The internet is completely changing the way people shop for goods and services, and if potential customers cannot find you on the internet, they will take their business elsewhere. To build a good web presence you have to change your focus to web marketing search engine optimization.
Web marketing is much like traditional marketing, but taken to the web. Word of mouth marketing becomes social networking, business cards become directory and search engine listings, brochures become video or article marketing, and flyers become online classified ads. However, you must use web marketing search engine optimization in order for these marketing strategies to be successful.
This requires careful keyword research of y our niche, or your area of expertise, and use of those keywords in all of your internet marketing. Your keyword or phrase should appear in your domain name or URL, the title of your site, and throughout your site at around one to three percent density. This means that for every four hundred words you should have your keyword four times.

REDMOND, Wash., and LUXEMBOURG – May 10, 2011 – Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: "MSFT") and Skype Global S.à r.l today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Microsoft will acquire Skype, the leading Internet communications company, for $8.5 billion in cash from the investor group led by Silver Lake. The agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of both Microsoft and Skype.
The acquisition will increase the accessibility of real-time video and voice communications, bringing benefits to both consumers and enterprise users and generating significant new business and revenue opportunities. The combination will extend Skype's world-class brand and the reach of its networked platform, while enhancing Microsoft's existing portfolio of real-time communications products and services.
With 170 million connected users and over 207 billion minutes of voice and video conversations in 2010, Skype has been a pioneer in creating rich, meaningful connections among friends, families and business colleagues globally. Microsoft has a long-standing focus and investment in real-time communications across its various platforms, including Lync (which saw 30 percent revenue growth in Q3), Outlook, Messenger, Hotmail and Xbox LIVE.
Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and a wide array of Windows devices, and Microsoft will connect Skype users with Lync, Outlook, Xbox Live and other communities. Microsoft will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms.
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world."
Skype will become a new business division within Microsoft, and Skype CEO Tony Bates will assume the title of president of the Microsoft Skype Division, reporting directly to Ballmer.
"Microsoft and Skype share the vision of bringing software innovation and products to our customers," said Tony Bates. "Together, we will be able to accelerate Skype's plans to extend our global community and introduce new ways for everyone to communicate and collaborate," Bates said.
"Tony Bates has a great track record as a leader and will strengthen the Microsoft management team. I'm looking forward to Skype's talented global workforce bringing its insights, ideas and experience to Microsoft," Ballmer said.
Speaking on behalf of the investor group that sold Skype to Microsoft, Egon Durban, managing director of Silver Lake, said: "We are thrilled with Skype's transformation during the period of our ownership and grateful for the extraordinary commitment of its management team and employees. We are excited about Skype's long-term future with Microsoft, as it is poised to become one of the world's most dynamic and comprehensive communications platforms."
Founded in 2003, Skype was acquired by eBay in September 2005, and then acquired by an investment group led by Silver Lake in November 2009. Skype has made impressive progress over the past 18 months under Silver Lake's leadership, increasing monthly calling minutes by 150 percent, developing new revenue streams and strategic partnerships, acquiring the intellectual property powering its peer-to-peer network, and recruiting an outstanding senior management team.
Other members of the selling investor group led by Silver Lake include eBay International AG, CPP Investment Board, Joltid Limited in partnership with Europlay Capital Advisors; and Andreessen Horowitz.
The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The parties hope to obtain all required regulatory clearances during the course of this calendar year.

History of Things
From the dawn of time to the present, and spanning billions of years in between, humankind is now compiling accurate stories of the history of things which makes for fascinating reading. Stories that capture the imagination of wide eyed children, stories told by village elders around the evening campfire, stories that resonate deep within our souls and let us know we're part of something much bigger than ourselves. They're all here on the History of Things.
A passion for the way things work, knowing the things people do, or seeing the beauty in things around us, all of these things become exciting and give great enjoyment when we understand the history behind them. Knowing that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated is boring until we know who pulled the trigger and why. History turns mere mortals into heroes, bystanders into participants, and brings life to almost every subject.
When you love learning about history, hearing bad puns, and listening to a good story with a little bit of spook then this Generally Spooky Podcast is the right one for you!
Not interested in how electricity is generated, or why Picasso chose to start a new school of art? You soon will be after you've read our histories of things. We believe history shouldn't be locked up in dusty ivory towers behind solid oak doors, no, we believe history should be right where it's needed most, where you choose to look for it, and for most people that place is the Internet.
History, especially the history taught at school rarely captures the imagination of it's student, yet the history of things is fundamental to our understanding of the nature of the universe. So often the same set of circumstances seem to repeat themselves, we can say history never repeats, the reality is very different.
Every war, every financial crisis, every dynasty, every love story; they've all been done before, sometimes in a different part of the world, often using a different language, many times the people have believed different things, but yet they've all been done before in some form. Learning our own history, the history of other peoples, and the history of the universe we live in could be the catalyst that enables us to grow as individuals, and just maybe, we won't be destined to repeat the same mistakes of our ancestors.
Perhaps history is more interesting when a story is being told, some of the most successful historians and writers of history have embellished cold dry facts with personality, wit, and even a bit of drama. We think this is why historical dramas on TV or at the movies are so successful, and the great news is that history doesn't need to be boring or limited to a very small group of experts.
History is for everyone, we can all share in the richness of our histories, and this website, the "History of Things" aims to deliver history written factually, but with the added twist that we love telling stories, and we especially love it when you tell us your stories. Of course we always check our facts against the latest theories and evidence, and we love history, but we're passionate about telling the story of the history of things.
Whether it's the history of computers, the Olympic games, or the seven wonders of the world you can be sure we'll be covering it, our writers are busy crafting interesting and exciting accounts of the most popular history of things which we'll be publishing right here, at no charge to you, all we ask is that you bookmark our site, tell all your friends about us, or subscribe to our RSS feed.
Do you need to research class assignments? Perhaps you've joined a club quiz night, or maybe you just need to know because you need to know. It really doesn't matter why you want to know the history of things, just as long as you get your answers.

If you only have space for one fruit tree, Sweet cherry 'Stella' is the one to grow.
'Stella' Cherry is self-fertile (which means it does not need a second variety of cherry tree to pollinate it) and is a really heavy, reliable cropper because it has good resistance to late frosts.
Unlike most other sweet cherry varieties, 'Stella' will thrive in slightly exposed locations but can also be grown in a pot on your patio. The sweetly flavoured, dark-skinned, plump and juicy, aromatic fruits will be ready to pick from mid to late July each year and from the third growing season onwards, you can expect upwards of 5kg (11lb) of cherries per tree, which will save a small fortune compared to paying supermarket prices. Additionally, the beautiful cherry blossom, which appears from early March, will brighten your garden and mark the beginning of spring.
Supplied as a bare root tall, grower-quality tree, approx. 1.35-1.45m, grown on a dwarfing 'Colt' rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit.
Best grown in moderately fertile soil in full sun.
If grown in pots keep well watered.
Apply a low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 5-10-10 in early spring, about a month before flowering.
Prune young cherry trees during winter dormancy to shape them into an open center or central leader shape.
Mature trees will just need a simple prune to remove dead or crossing branches or to open up the center or maintain shape - unlike other fruit trees, �Stella� cherry trees do not need pruning to keep them fruiting.
Train fan-trained trees in spring. Prune established fans and carry out routine pruning on established cherry trees when harvesting the fruits in summer.

BERLIN — Smaller than a growler, bigger than a pint glass, the new Burley Oak Brewery bottles will be just the right size for about 400 lucky customers.
"This is our first bottle run," said Burley Oak owner Bryan Brushmiller.
Starting Monday, a series of 420 individually labeled 750-ml "champagne-style" bottles became available at the brewery. For the first run, Burley decided to release a barrel-aged version of their popular Bunker-C porter.
"We aged it in bourbon barrels for six months," said Brushmiller.
By using the bourbon barrels, Brushmiller said the Bunker-C was lent a unique and rich flavor and added that a lengthy waiting period left the brew in perfect condition for bottling.
Each of the 420 bottles are filled by hand, a cumbersome process which Brushmiller admitted helped him decide to limit the size of the batch.
"Six of us filled about 400 bottles," he explained, noting the amount of beer came from just two aging barrels.
After filling the bottles, Brushmiller and crew also hand labeled and capped them one at a time, marking each with an individual number without the assistance of an assembly line.
"There's a lot of time and effort put into each bottle," said Brushmiller.
In fact, even the labels on the bottles are a labor of love. Designed by Snow Hill resident Mat Shockley, co-founder of PLB Comics, the labels depict a unique image commissioned specially for the Bunker-C bottle run as well as a short biography about Burley's first year and the bottling project.
Shockley's design was intriguing enough that Brushmiller decided to put it on T-shirts, which, like the bottles themselves, are limited to a small batch, in this case only about 40.
With this batch being just the first of many, Brushmiller pointed out that using barrels to age the beer pre-bottling is especially interesting given the history of the brewery building.
"This building was originally a cooperage and they made barrels," he said.
The cooperage would then ship those barrels out across Maryland. Brushmiller highlighted the cyclical nature of history. While the former cooperage shipped barrels out, Burley ships barrels in from other areas and uses them to create beer which the brewery then distributes in Maryland and beyond.
Future batches for the next bottle run are already in the works, with Free Labor, an amber saison, the next in line for release. On top of that, Burley is experimenting with barrel-ageing other popular flavors like Just the Tip and Rude Boy, which may not be bottled but will be available in the tasting room. With Rude Boy in particular, Brushmiller plans on taking the already intense beer and transforming it into the "Ruder Boy" and "Rudest Boy" variations that would pack double-digit alcohol percentages.
The current batch of Bunker-C is still available for purchase at the brewery in Berlin. However, Brushmiller warned that since becoming available Monday the orders have been pouring in. When combined with some pre-orders taken, the 420 bottles won't last long. Bottles cost $12 each and Brushmiller has put in a limit of two bottles per customer.
The goal with each of the bottling runs, he said, is to offer something special for local customers who visit the physical location of the brewery.
"We're going to stick with the exclusive batch … It's done for the local community," said Brushmiller.
If it appears that there will be a remainder on the bottle run, he explained that some will likely be sold out of the area. However, Brushmiller promised first pick will always be given to friends, neighbors and local customers.
According to Brushmiller, the next bottle run should be ready by late-November and he hopes to produce one every other month.

Raynaud's Disease
- Created in Ball/Joint/Tendon
Raynaud's disease, also known as Raynaud's phenomenon, is characterized by episodes of reduced blood flow to the extremities, including the fingers and toes, in response to cold temperatures or emotional stress. When Raynaud's affects the feet specifically, it can lead to discomfort and potential complications. This article explores the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of Raynaud's disease of the foot to provide a comprehensive understanding of this condition.
Causes of Raynaud's Disease of The Foot
Raynaud's foot disease occurs due to an exaggerated response of the blood vessels in the feet to cold temperatures or emotional stress. The exact cause of Raynaud's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve dysfunction in the body's normal response to temperature changes and stress. Factors that may contribute to Raynaud's disease of the foot include:
Cold exposure: Exposure to cold temperatures can trigger vasospasm (narrowing) of the blood vessels in the feet, leading to reduced blood flow and the characteristic color changes associated with Raynaud's episodes.
Emotional stress: Emotional stress or anxiety can also induce vasospasms in the blood vessels of the feet, resulting in decreased blood flow and symptoms of Raynaud's disease.
Underlying conditions: Raynaud's disease of the foot may occur as a primary condition with no underlying cause, or it may be secondary to other underlying conditions such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), connective tissue disorders, vascular diseases, or certain medications.
Symptoms of Raynaud's Disease of The Foot
The symptoms of Raynaud's disease of the foot are similar to those of Raynaud's, affecting other body parts. During an episode, the feet may experience the following triphasic color changes:
Pallor (white): The affected feet may turn white or pale as blood flow to the area decreases due to vasospasm.
Cyanosis (blue): As the vasospasm continues, the feet may turn blue or cyanotic due to a lack of oxygen in the blood.
Erythema (red): Once the vasospasm resolves, blood flow returns to the feet, causing them to turn red or flush as oxygenated blood rushes back into the area.
Other symptoms of Raynaud's disease of the foot may include numbness, tingling, coldness, or pain in the affected feet during episodes.
Diagnosis of Raynaud's Disease of The Foot
Diagnosing Raynaud's disease of the foot involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and assessment of symptoms by a healthcare professional. Your doctor may also perform additional tests to rule out underlying conditions or secondary causes of Raynaud's disease, such as blood tests, nailfold capillaroscopy, or cold stimulation tests.
Management of Raynaud's Disease of The Foot
While there is no cure for Raynaud's disease, various treatment options and lifestyle modifications can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of Raynaud's episodes affecting the feet:
Keep feet warm: Minimize exposure to cold temperatures and wear warm socks and shoes to help prevent episodes of Raynaud's affecting the feet.
Avoid triggers: Identify and avoid triggers that may exacerbate symptoms, such as emotional stress or exposure to cold environments.
Stress management: Practice stress-reduction techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or relaxation exercises to help prevent stress-induced Raynaud's episodes.
Quit smoking: Smoking can worsen symptoms of Raynaud's disease by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow. Quitting smoking can improve circulation and reduce the frequency and severity of Raynaud's episodes affecting the feet.
Medications: In some cases, medications such as calcium channel blockers, vasodilators, or topical nitroglycerin may be prescribed to help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow to the feet during Raynaud's episodes.
Raynaud's disease of the foot is a condition characterized by episodes of reduced blood flow to the feet, typically in response to cold temperatures or emotional stress. While the exact cause of Raynaud's disease is not fully understood, various factors may contribute to its development. Symptoms include triphasic color changes in the feet and numbness, tingling, coldness, or pain. Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional, and management strategies focus on lifestyle modifications, avoiding triggers, stress management, and, in some cases, medications. If you experience symptoms of Raynaud's disease affecting your feet, consult your doctor for evaluation and appropriate management to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Walk #191: Alltsigh to Lewiston General Data
Map of the walk Maps courtesy of Google Maps. Route for indicative purposes only, and may have been plotted after the walk. Please let me have comments on what you think of this new format. For a detailed table of timings for this walk, please see the table file. NotesThis was a fairly pleasant walk with some great views down Loch Ness to Fort Augustus being available early on. I also got some great views of Royal Air Force fighters flying at low level along the loch, which was not hard as the noise that they made announced there presence minutes before I could see them! I am now at the stage of this walk where the days of the week cease to have a meaning and time above the hour scale simply becomes a geographical entity - instead of saying last Thursday I say "when I was at Gairlochy". As the walk goes on and I become increasingly separated from my desk bound existence days simply have no meaning - the walk consists simply of where I will be at the end of the day. Which on days like today is a great feeling. This hostel is really nice, with a good crowd including an Australian and a Czech girl. The atmosphere is far better then the hostel in Edinburgh where I met Sam, and the girls cooked the nine of us a lovely meal, which is apparently unusual so I was lucky to get here tonight. I really want to stay here for another night, but I should really move on, which is a great shame. I am so relaxed. I stopped to have a bite of lunch beside the old fort at Grotaig, which I was disappointed to find was covered in Gorse bushes and therefore I could not really find anything of interest. The place where I chose to sit had seem nice views including the Grotaig Burn falling down the hillside, but it was very exposed and I found myself getting very cold whilst I was waiting. There has been another sighting of the American - apparently he was seen today walking down the main road towards Inverness, which means that he is ahead of me by now. Some people in the hostel noticed him because of the bags he had in each hand! When I reached Woodend I realised that I did not have far still to walk, so I decided to sit down on the bank opposite the house for a short rest. A man came out and I had a quick chat with him - he is a joiner from Cleethorpes who is building a shed behind the house for the owners. We had a long chat and then we parted. This whole rest was very probably a mistake, as soon after I started walking again the rain came down heavier then ever before - with hindsight I should just have continued on. The path today was quite easy, along good forest tracks or roads for the vast majority of the way. There is a long climb at the beginning, however; this was not to bad as it was along forest haul roads and therefore even the switchback's in the route were not too steep and I made good time over them. A nice path has been made along parts of the three mile road section which helped me not to tire out my feet. These sections of path were brand new and seems slightly unnecessary along such a quiet road but I was thankful for them nonetheless. The weather was absolutely awful for the last part of the walk, with the sunny periods becoming scarcer and the rain heavier. For the last half-hour to the hostel I was walking in near continuous rain, which was anything but fun. When the sun was out and I was protected from the wind I was okay and I could dry off; these happened less frequently as the day went on. I am undecided about what I am going to do tomorrow. I was considering walking up to Inverness, but I will probably head up the A833 which is apparently quiet up to Beauly or Muir of Ord and see what accommodation I can find. Not going to Inverness should save me about a day as I will not be heading further east. Unfortunately this means that I will be doing an extra day of road walking, but that is probably worth the extra effort. This hostel is really nice and has a really nice atmosphere, which is good as it is helping to relax me no end. It is now a quarter to eleven and I am still up drinking beer and chatting to this Czech girl, which is pleasant and a nice change from yet another early night. Independent hostels can be so much nicer than Youth Hostel Association ones, and this one is a case in point. Earlier on the Czech and Australian girls who are wardens for this place made the nine people staying a large and varied meal, which was very pleasant and went down a treat. When I got into Drumnadrochit I decided that the first thing to do was to drop off my pack somewhere, which involved finding accommodation. There is a pub mentioned on the map, but this was only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and both the B&B's opposite the pub were full. I therefore went back down to the A82(T) and crossed it to enter the very obvious Loch Ness Backpackers hostel, where I dropped off my rucksack. I then went to a local hotel, the Benleva, where I whiled away a couple of hours writing my notes, having a few pints and chatting to the barman. All in all it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. DirectionsThis walk starts off at the Loch Ness Youth Hostel, about three miles to the northeast of Invermoriston on the A82(T). Turn right from the front of the youth hostel and walk northeastwards along the road for about fifty yards to a little entrance on the left. Cross over into this area and then start taking a dirt track that leads uphill past a white house. This track soon ends at a T-junction. Take the right hand track (not the left hand one that leads over the bridge and heads back to Invermoriston) and follow it as it starts slowly to climb. Over the course of the next few miles the track climbs and it is followed as it does so; all junctions are well marked with both cycle track and Great Glen Way signs. After the second of two big switchback's in the track it starts to level off after a climb of about 300 metres. The track then heads through a forest which, fortunately for me, had recently been cut down allowing some expansive views of Loch Ness to become available. It then continues in a north-easterly direction until it suddenly ends. At the end of the track a narrow and rocky path starts a slight descent. This path is also used by the Great Glen Cycle Route, but I would not like to have to cycle over it. This path continues for under a mile until it meets another track. This track starts to descend before rising again, and after a short distance a Great Glen Way signpost points off to the left along a path. Take this path as it climbs up towards the old fort at Grotaig and the lovely Grotaig Burn. At Grotaig the path meets a newly-surfaced road at a little car park. Turn right and follow this road as it heads north-eastwards for about three miles. Along sections of the road a new path has been created that will undoubtedly be easier on the feet than the surfaced road. When the road reaches the little house at Woodend and starts to descend follow it until signs lure you off to the left. The path continues along a track for a short distance before turning off to the right and plunging downhill south-westwards. At the bottom of the hill the at the meets a track near Clunebeg House. Once the track is met turn right and follow it as it winds around the valley floor to the south of the River Coiltie. After about a kilometre it meets up with the road that has descended from Woodend and this can then be followed for a short distance to the bridge in Drumnadrochit. Distances
This makes a total distance of 9.5 miles, with 1729 feet of ascent and 1768 feet of descent.
AccommodationI stayed at the Loch Ness Backpackers, an independent hostel in Drumnadrochit. This hostel cost 9.50 pounds for a night, plus 1.50 pounds for a continental-style breakfast. The address of the hostel is the Loch Ness Backpackers Lodge, Coiltie Farmhouse, East Lewiston, Drumnadrochit, IV63 6UJ.
