GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams was hit helmet-to-helmet by Packers safety Nick Collins midway through the third quarter of Sunday's game.
Williams was able to get up and run off the field under his own power and returned to the game later in the drive.
Jon Kitna threw a deep ball to Williams, whose back was turned to Collins when the safety came in and made contact with the back of Williams' head with his helmet. Collins was flagged for unnecessary roughness.
Williams crumpled to the ground face first near the Packers' sideline while quarterback Aaron Rodgers and other Packers players hurriedly called for the Cowboys trainers.
After Williams' helmet was removed, he got up and jogged off the field without assistance.
The league is closely monitoring helmet-to-helmet hits, saying they can result in suspension. Williams said he was fine after the helmet-to-helmet hit, then appealed to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell not to fine Collins for the hit.
"Commissioner Goodell, don't fine the guy," Williams said. "It wasn't that bad of a deal, he shouldn't get fined. It was a football play, a football player making a football play. No injury, no harm."
Meanwhile, Cowboys starting defensive end Marcus Spears did not return to the game after suffering a left calf injury.
Stephen Bowen replaced Spears on the first team.
With 11:51 to play in the third quarter, Jay Ratliff was benched for Josh Brent, but he later returned.

Amarillo city commissioners gave final approval Tuesday to a controversial no-parking zone on south Harrison Street.
Leaders from Amarillo's Salvation Army chapter protested the no-parking zone, claiming the restriction would hurt customers and slow down thrift shop business.
In September, the city placed no parking signs on the east side of Harrison Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues after the attorneys at Waggoner, Miller & Blackwell law firm complained about transients' cars on their property.
In a compromise, half the signs were removed. No parking signs remain adjacent to the law firm's property up to the driveway. The no-parking zone adjacent to Amarillo National Bank's employee parking lot was replaced with limited two-hour parking, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Amarillo traffic commissioners turned down a request last week from Capt. Tom Rainwater, commander of Amarillo's Salvation Army chapter, to add additional parking spaces on both sides of Harrison Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.
In other business, the commission approved a 5.79 percent Energas rate increase and awarded contracts for the purchase of a police vehicle and fire truck.
The police car will be purchased from John Chandler Ford of Amarillo for $21,554. American La France of Cleveland, N.C., will provide a fire truck for $273,420.
Amarillo firefighters and police officers also presented a petition requesting a raise to the city secretary before the commission meeting.
Police and firefighters began collecting signatures in October after protesting a 3 percent pay increase set by Amarillo city commissioners for the 1999-2000 budget.
The officers are seeking a 12 percent salary increase as of Oct. 1, 2000. City Manager John Ward said the city secretary's office will verify the names on the petition.
James Williams of the Amarillo Professional Fire Fighter's Association said officers want a city charter amendment that will guarantee no current benefits are lost.
Once the signatures are verified, the City Commission can schedule an election. Ward said the election likely will be in May.

The Book Thief Criminality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Liesel Meminger was a criminal. But not because she'd stolen a handful of books through an open window. (54.134)
Here, Death is referring to Liesel's inability to do what she thinks she should – apologize to Ilsa Hermann. In Liesel's code, failure to apologize is a great crime. So, she does apologize to Ilsa in the long run.
Quote #11
[…] Hans Hubermann held his hand out and presented a piece of bread […]. (58.62)
Feeding the Jewish prisoners on their way to Dachau is obviously considered a crime by the Nazi guards. It can also be seen as an act of non-violent resistance to what the Nazis are doing. It might seem like a small thing, but it was big to the Jewish people who saw it as an act of true kindness.

Fire away... would love to get some feedback.
Fire away... would love to get some feedback.
Hi Noel
I found out about this plugin on the adaptive images website. Thanks for developing it.
Will it work on a local install? I'm getting 'undefined' as the src value for the images, so just wondering if you've got it to work on a local install before investigating further
Hi Paul,
Yep, had it going on local. Guessing your caching folder might be restricted?
thanks for the quick response.
I'm having to work on a linux install, and struggling with permissions, so I'll try to figure that out.
This is a VERY sweet plugin. I have been searching for months for something like this!! Lightweight and user friendly.
I am having trouble with borders and padding on the images. I tried using my own class and the figure.hammy-responsive with no luck. It adds the border, but not in the right places. Any suggestions?
Sorry, Ive been running around and now here in SF. Need before and after screenshots to help out :) Cheers!
Hi there,
The plugin works fine, just one little problem, when you add a link on the image, the link does not appear on the page. It's in the HTML, we get a structure like this in HTML

but in the DOM on Firebug (chrome and also Firefox) I get

and the link is not clicable. I tried to highlight the a tag, indeed it's in the DOM before the figure element. Strange.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Hey, me again ^^
As a matter of fact and 4 hours of investigation, the problem does not come frome the JavaScript, but from WordPress code cleanup (mess-up?). To put it simple, you can't use a figure inside of a p element. The problem is that WordPress wrapes its images into p elements, so the outcome of the_content is

This is not valid, and browser tend to do what they can with it, hence the strange behavior with the link.
The solution we found (thanks kReEsTaL for some links) is to remove the p tag using regex. Maybe this could be added in the plugin for further release ?
Here is a link with a regex that works and another one that works too
Cheers ;)
Hmm, thanks for hunting, I would have still expected the link to display, will review when I'm back from #wcsf. Appreciate the support!
@Noel Tock It's the WordPress editor that messes things up. Also when you try to add the image in a paragraph, and align it left or right, the HTML gets reallt ugly and invalid.
Haven't forgotten about this! been a bit crazy with happytables, will get back to it soon enough :)
Perhaps I'm doing it wrong. It's not working.
I have the following:

I set the content container to be article and it's not working.
Is the image in your post/page or part of your theme?
It's in my post/page. It's the featured image.
You have a live example somewhere?
No, I'm working locally. But the code is...

It looks like the post thumbnail is being rendered through the theme as opposed to being inside the tinymce editor (the featured image is not part of the editor unless it's displayed in there in addition ). Correct?
Correct, I managed to do it with media queries. Good work though!
That would indeed be part of the theme then (as you're controlling the display of it via the theme template, which is where you should also add any resizing scripts, etc.). This plugin works purely off content as that changes from post to post (while theme files don't). Cheers!
Update to Hammy. Now using the picture tag instead of figure, this is playing a lot nicer with WP and also is closer to the recommendations being made regarding adaptive/responsive images. Has worked quite nicely for me so far. Let me know how it goes! Cheers
Hi Noel,
First of all thanks for this great plugin. I got it al working in a few minutes but I have a question about the plugin. Is it true that the plugin looks for the screen width and not the device with when serving the corresponding image?
I did a test with my site at blaze.io to see which image was served (they use an iPhone4 for that) and noticed that the image with a resolution of 768 x ... was served in stead of the expected 320 x ....
So this got me thinking that the plugin uses the screen width instead of the device width. Because if it would use the device width it would serve a smaller image.
Am I right? And if you could device width be added to a future update of his plugin? That would make it even more awesome.
I can't get it to work on local machine either. I'm using Mamp, any help would be appreciated.
To continue with my above comment; It doesn't work for me on a live environment either. I've changed file permissions to 777 and still no luck?!
This topic has been closed to new replies.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
If you have trouble getting a good night's sleep on your mattress, a mattress topper might be the perfect solution. It can boost the comfort level of an old mattress for a fraction of the price of buying a new set. Sometimes called a pillow-top mattress pad, a topper is a cushion you place on top of the mattress to add softness or support. The terms "mattress topper" and "mattress pad" are often used interchangeably, but the latter also refers to a thinner type of cover that's placed over a mattress to protect it from stains. This report focuses mainly on the type of pads used for added cushioning, but we do discuss waterproof mattress pads as well.
The most common reason people decide to add toppers to their mattresses is to add new life to an older bed. Innerspring mattresses in particular tend to compress over time, losing their ability to shape themselves to a sleeper's body. A mattress topper can add an extra layer of cushioning, relieving pressure points and enhancing sleep quality.
Some mattress pads -- specifically those made of memory foam or latex -- can also improve the supportiveness of a mattress, which may help reduce back and joint pain. However, mattress toppers can't compensate for major problems such as sagging, sinkholes or springs poking through the mattress cover. If your mattress is that bad, you need a new one. We have recommendations for the most popular types in our separate report on mattresses.
People often add a mattress topper to adjust the firmness level of a newer mattress. If you buy a new bed and determine after a short time that it's too soft or firm for your taste, adding a topper can make it softer or firmer without the hassle and expense of trading in a nearly new model (returning a new mattress often involves shipping and restocking fees, not to mention the logistics of dealing with returning a large item). Placing a topper on just one side of the bed can also help couples who prefer different levels of mattress firmness.
Just like mattresses, mattress toppers come in many styles. Each one offers something different, and what may be an ideal choice for one person might not work for another. These are the main types of mattress toppers:
Memory foam is the most popular type of mattress topper, and it tends to be the most effective at improving mattress comfort. Made from polyurethane, memory foam contains millions of open, spherical cells that respond to pressure and heat. It comes in many thicknesses and densities: In general, a thicker topper will have a softer feel, while a denser foam will provide more support. However, memory foam can trap body heat, and some say that the way it cradles the body can make it difficult to move around on. Many memory foam toppers also give off an unpleasant odor when new, although a good airing usually takes care of that.
Latex foam is similar to memory foam, but it's made of either natural or synthetic latex rubber. It comes in many grades of thickness and firmness like memory foam, but generally tends to be a bit firmer. It's also somewhat less likely than memory foam to trap body heat and emit an unpleasant odor, but the "new mattress smell" can still be a problem for some users. Latex excels at providing both softness and support and it's a good choice for allergy sufferers because it's resistant to both mold and dust mites. However, latex itself can be an allergen for some people and latex toppers are among the most expensive.
Feather mattress toppers, or featherbeds, are basically cushions stuffed with feathers or down. These add softness to a mattress, but not support. While they don't retain body heat as much as foam toppers do, they tend to compress under a user's weight and must be fluffed or shaken regularly to restore their shape. Featherbed mattress toppers are usually less expensive than foam ones.
Fiberbeds, filled with a soft polyester fiber, are a synthetic alternative to featherbeds. They can be a good choice for those who are allergic to feathers. Like natural featherbeds, fiber-filled mattress toppers add softness but tend to compress with use. This type of topper is generally the least expensive.
Wool mattress toppers are good at softening a firm mattress, but they don't add support. Their natural fibers tend to keep users warm in winter and cool in summer, and wool toppers are very durable. They can be pricey, however.
Mattress pads are not mattress toppers, they are just a thin pad, with corners like a fitted sheet that go over your mattress to protect it from moisture and stains. Deep-pocket mattress pads can even fit over both a mattress topper and a mattress. Mattress pads are very affordable and there's little variation in quality. However, we discuss waterproof mattress pads here because they are the most popular and tend to "crinkle." We recommend those that are the most unobtrusive.
While there are no recent professional tests of mattress toppers, there's an abundance of user feedback at sites such as Amazon.com, Overstock.com and Viewpoints.com. Moreover, editors at SleepLikeTheDead.com analyze thousands of owner reviews and break down the data to provide specific information about different mattress topper types and brands.
Our research turns up three main factors to consider when shopping for a mattress topper. Since a topper's job is to improve the comfort of a mattress, we give particular importance to how well each pad cushions and supports the body, as well as such criteria as whether it retains body heat. A good mattress topper also needs to stay comfortable over time, so we examine how well each model holds up with use and whether it needs special maintenance to keep it in good shape. Based on these factors, we identify the best mattress toppers of each type and list their pros and cons. One is sure to be the perfect choice for your best night's sleep.

Ocado is a British online supermarket.[3] In contrast to its main competitors, the company has no chain of stores and does all home deliveries from its warehouses. Ocado has been voted the best online supermarket in the UK by Which? readers every year since 2010.[1][4] The company was floated on the London Stock Exchange on 21 July 2010 and is currently a member of the FTSE 250 Index. It has its headquarters just outside London, in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
Ocado was founded in April 2000 by Jonathan Faiman, Jason Gissing and Tim Steiner, former merchant bankers with Goldman Sachs. Ocado was launched in January 2000 as a concept and started trading as a business in partnership with Waitrose in January 2002. When the company first started, Faiman, Gissing and Steiner ran every part of the business themselves.[5]
In September 2006, Michael Grade became non-executive chairman of Ocado, shortly after Goldman Sachs were appointed as financial advisers, fuelling speculation which had already started about a listing for the company.[6]
In November 2008, the John Lewis Partnership transferred its shareholding of 29% into its staff pension fund. It also agreed a five-year supply deal with the business, replacing its previous one-year rolling deal.[7] This deal was replaced in May 2010 with a 10-year branding and supply agreement.[8] Procter & Gamble took a 1% stake in the company the same year.[9] In February 2011, the John Lewis pension fund sold off its entire Ocado shareholding.[10]
On 13 July 2009 Ocado released their first app for the iPhone. The app, called 'Ocado on the Go', allows users to do their grocery shopping without the need of a PC.[11] On 19 April 2010 the company extended the app to Android devices. The Android app has a number of features that the iPhone app does not have, including the ability to control the app using only the voice.[12]
In July 2010 Ocado, following considerable speculation, undertook a stock market Initial public offering.[13]
The company has a warehouse-based model, operating purely online without any physical shops. It currently has twenty-two purpose-built warehouses/picking centres.[14]
Ocado's products include own brand groceries from the Waitrose supermarket chain as well as their own Ocado brand, but also a selection of name brand groceries and other items, including flowers, toys and magazines.[15] A range of Carrefour's products are also sold via Ocado.[16]
Jez Frampton, CEO of Interbrand and non-executive director of Ocado, claims the name "Ocado" is a made-up word and meant to be evocative of fresh fruit. The name forms a large part of the word "Avocado", a type of fruit.[17]

Posted on 09/25/2007 12:08:44 PM PDT by NYer
One night while diving for lobster on the island of Mauritius, an Australian named Ian McCormick was stung on his forearm by what local Creole fishermen call "invisibles": extraordinarily poisonous but hard to see "five-box" jellyfish, in the nomenclature of the trade.
Medics were called -- urgently. It was an emergency if ever there is an emergency.
"Found in the waters off northern Australia, the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri is not the only marine invertebrate to use venom, but it is the possessor of arguably the most lethal venom in the world," notes one expert. "In the past half century, sixty-five Australians have been killed by it."
In other words, things didn't look very good for this lobster fisherman -- and by the time an ambulance arrived, he recalls, his body was totally paralyzed; necrosis had begun to set into his bone marrow; and two attempts at finding a pulse had failed.
"The doctors tried to save my life by injecting anti-toxins and dextrose into my body, but seemingly to no avail," he told a website called Bible Probe. "Within a few minutes I seemed to slip away. Apparently life ceased from my body for a period of approximately 15 minutes.
"And during this time, I found myself in a very dark place -- not realizing where I was. I tried to find a light switch, thinking I was still in the hospital -- but as I reached out into the dark I couldn't touch anything. Reaching to touch my face, I found my hand go straight through it. It seemed so bizarre, as I knew I was standing there but couldn't touch any part of my physical body."
It was a classic near-death experience -- something many thousands have reported -- but with this twist: instead of finding himself in a pleasant surrounding, Ian McCormick, a non-believer, and self-proclaimed sinner, found himself in what he perceived as the netherworld.
Ian had been raised as a general Christian -- although at the time of his episode was an atheist and the place in which he found himself -- the dark place -- resembled the place described by others who died and denied the existence of God.
Was it hell -- or deep purgatory?
Like another atheist, Dr. Howard Storm, whose near-death experience has been featured on national television, McCormick found himself harassed by dark forces -- voices screaming at him to "shut up," that he "deserved to be there," that indeed it was "hell."
And like Storm, he was saved by a sudden luminosity.
"I couldn't believe it, but as I stood there a radiant beam of light shone through the darkness and immediately began to lift me upward," says the Aussie -- now a convert. "I found myself being translated up into an incredibly brilliant beam of pure white light -- it seemed to be emanating from a circular opening far above me. I felt like a speck of dust being drawn up into a beam of sunlight. This light wasn't just physical, but was giving off a living emotion. Halfway down was another wave of light -- this time it gave off pure peace -- followed by another wave -- of pure joy.
"Coming out of the end of this tunnel, I found myself standing in the presence of awesome light and power -- it seemed as though even the constellations in the universe must find their energy source from this focal point.
"As I stood there I wondered to myself if this was just an energy source in the universe or if perhaps there could be someone standing in the midst of this light! A voice immediately responded to my thought and asked me, "Ian, do you wish to return?"
If he wished to return to earth, said the voice -- the Voice (let's capitalize that) -- he must see "in a new light."
"Words appeared in front of me," claims Ian. "'God is light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5).' I had never read a Bible before in my life so I didn't know this was straight out of the scriptures. God is light, I thought, is pure light -- I see no darkness here, I have just come from darkness -- I see no evil, no shadows -- this is pure light -- am I standing in the presence of God?"
It was God -- but in the form of Jesus.
No one see the Face of God and lives.
In fact, all Ian saw was the Light -- but a light unlike any on earth, a light others have described as brighter than a million klieg lights -- and yet not painful to look at.
As in most near-death experiences, McCormick described the Light as "unadulterated, unconditional love" -- confusing to this man who had ignored God all his life, "taken His Name in vain," and sinned (as he puts it, "slept around").
"I'm not a good man," Ian thought to himself. And yet there was that mercy. "His garments were shimmering white in color -- garments of light -- and I could see His bare feet and His hands were outstretched towards me as if to welcome me," Ian relates. "I knew I was looking upon God and as I looked toward His face the intensity of the light seemed to increase seven-fold; you couldn't make out the form of His Face as the Light was so bright -- such purity, such holiness, such beauty."
The Lord allowed Ian a glimpse of verdant pastures, a crystal clear stream, and flowers like none seen on earth -- flowers that some have described as swaying in tune with praises to God.
Now that he had seen the afterlife, Ian was asked, did he want to return to earth?
In some accounts, such a option is offered. In most such episodes, however, the near-death experiencers are told they must return -- despite their protests.
Ian decided he wanted to return because in a vision in front of a "tunnel" he saw his mother and knew she had been praying for him -- that she was the only Christian in the family, and that if he died, she would be heartbroken, thinking that due to his non-belief he had found himself -- as indeed he nearly did -- in hell.
With that, McCormick -- having accepted Christ -- decided to come back.
"God then spoke to me and said, 'If I wished to return -- I must see things in a new light.' I understood that to mean that I must begin to see through his eyes of Love, Peace, Joy, and Forgiveness, from His Heavenly perspective -- not my temporary earthly perspective.
"Looking back towards the tunnel again I now could see a vision of all my family, and thousands and thousands of other people. I asked God who all these people were, and He told me that if I didn't return then many of these people would not get a chance to hear about Him ."
What He asked of Ian was that he read the Bible, which the Australian was to do over the course of the next six weeks.
"As I opened my eye, I was lying back on a hospital bed with my right leg elevated, cupped in the hands of the young Indian doctor who had been trying to save my life. He had a scalpel or some sharp instrument in his hand and he was prodding the base of my foot like a dead piece of meat. He wasn't aware that I was looking at him. I thought, 'what's that man doing with my foot, what is he doing with that knife!!!!!!'
"At the same time something seemed to spook the doctor and he quickly turned his head to see my right eye open, looking at him. Terror struck his face and I got the distinct impression that he has just seen a dead man looking at him." As his eyes locked onto to nurses and orderlies, they jumped backwards.
"From what I can ascertain I had been dead for a period of some 15 minutes," he concludes. "I prayed to God that night and asked him to heal me and enable me to walk out of the hospital.
"That night God completely healed me, and enabled me to walk out of the hospital the next day."
Just 'wow'!
Here is his website:
In his testimony at his website he talks about "waves of love" . . . that was my experience when I was called. Best way to describe it.
This story reminds me of one of the reasons I started believing in God again.
After being atheist for many years, I began to hear the stories of all these "near death experiences" (NDE's). I began to study the topic intensely, and I found they were remarkably similar. Thousands of stories, and they all related seeing "one God" in a "paradise" after a "tunnel". Some even included visions of Hell like this man's.
Now of course there were two choices:
1. That this is real, and I'd better get my act together.
2. This is all fake, just the affect on the brain after oxygen deprivation.
I clung to #2 for a while until I realized that even that option gave me no hope. I realized that:
-If #2 really was what the "reality" of the situation was, then did I want my last moments of existence (experienced via oxygen deprivation), to be visions of Hell? In other words, if #2 is true, then the visions of Hell some NDE'ers experienced were also the result of oxygen deprivation. IOW, I'm NOT GUARANTEED a pleasant "hallucination".
So, I then realized, even if #2 is the case, then I have nothing to loose to "get right with God", because then, at least, however it is "done" in the deep recesses and subconscious of the brain, I will have a "nice hallucination" when I die. I can know this because everyone who had the "hallucination" of Hell were, by their own admission, NOT "right with God". Therefore, there must be some region in the brain that can only be affected by faith in God, affected so that I'm assured a "nice death hallucination".
Now, of course, my faith is not rested upon such cold analysis today, however, the logic cannot be denied. This is why I'm still amazed so many atheists/agnostics will shrug these NDE's off saying "they're just the result of oxygen deprivation". It's like they don't think of the consequences beyond that.
Or maybe they never heard of the hellish NDE's.
Quite a stunning story. God is so good!
I know of no drug that gives the same hallucination to people that take the drug.
Okay ... that begs the questions 'how, when & where' ;-)
God has truly blessed you!
My arms and legs dropped lifeless to my side and then I passed out. Yet sitting the the driver's seat I could see and sense myself in the car from the rear driver side by the gas cap. Doesn't really bother me when some disbelieve, because I know what happened. The view simply was not from inside the car. The only other thing I remember is the paramedics radioing in once they had extracted me from the vehicle, that I appeared to be a "quad".
I had emergency neurosurgery C5-T1 and was kept in a drug induced coma for almost 48 hours. The next day, I got up and walked, and now have no neurological deficit. I don't so much feel lucky that I was able to live and remain miraculously unparalyzed, as I feel privileged and humbled that I am allowed to continue God's work.

In my living room, a few years ago . . . I saw the back cover of John Paul II's "Crossing the Threshold of Hope." I had bought the book years and years before (I love beautiful books and this one was gold embossed, first english edition, awesome looking book). I'd never read it. Three words were on the back: "Be Not Afraid."
I was 38, cynical about religions, not at all seeking, had not been to church in 26 years, since I was a boy. I had a good job, a baby on the way. I had explored western philosophy, stoicism, buddhism, and basically convinced myself there was no answer or that at a minimum I wasn't the guy to figure it out, so I had stopped looking for spiritual answers.
I didn't read the book. I didn't read the Bible. I didn't listen to a sermon or have an evangelist per se speak to me. I just saw the three words "Be Not Afraid" on the back of the book. The Holy Spirit filled me up when I saw them and that was it; I went into that day an agnostic/athiest and ended the day being taught by God. Wave after wave after wave. The Spirit came and went for days and days, constantly that first night and next morning and then in waves, shallower and less long, for a while after.
I found a church, read the Bible, and have been a believer ever since.
I was being prepared prior. When I wasnt a Christian, a few weeks maybe before I was touched by him, I picked up a King James Bible and said to my wife lets see what is in here for me, joking, but not fully; I was interested. I plunked down my finger into John 1 on this line:
42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
Now, I think God has a sense of humor, because I made fun of that! I saw in scripture this man, Jesus meeting a man named Simon and telling him, out of the blue, not knowing him, that Simon would be called Cephas, a stone. I laughed.
If I had looked at the line above it, it says: We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
If I had looked at the line below it, Christ says: Follow me.
But I didnt look. I laughed.
A few years after I became a Christian, I went to a class about evangelism. They taught us to pray for the people in our lives that we want to help come to Christ. I said to my wife "I wonder if anyone ever prayed for me." She laughed and named about 10 people. She had practically every Christian we knew praying for me to find Christ. I don't know whether it's to my wife's credit or discredit that she didn't try to proselytize to me directly; I think it's to her credit. I think I would have been contemptuous towards anything but her example and personal faith if she or anyone else had come on too strong. I just thought it was all poppycock.
Not anymore.
Wow! What an amazing story.
Bump for after work.
Thanks, I don't know about "wise" but that was nice of you to say, thank you!
An interesting point there, yes.
Powerful testimony in Post #13, God bless!
Oh my...........goosebumps!!
Once I read the title of this post I knew it had to do with some critter from Australia. What is it about that place?? Most poisonous snakes, spiders, jellyfish, [fill in the blank] ... Sounds like the animal life down there have a real chip on their shoulders...
I had not known that NDEs are different for atheists. I would like to know now how Buddhists and Moslems experience them. Surely they are not reserved for Christians and atheists.
I have been a member of FR for many years now. I just spent 1/2 hour composing the following response to you. When I went to post it, a login screen popped up advising me that I was not a member and needed to create a login account. That is totally bizarre! Someone or something does not want you to read this response.

Absolutely fascinating! There's more to this than even you realize at this time. (BTW - 'cephas' is Aramaic and means large rock, not stone. 'Petros' is the Greek for small stone). Both in Mark 3:16 & John 1:42, Jesus renames Simon "Kepha" (cepha) in Aramaic which literally means "rock." This was an extraordinary thing for Jesus to do, because "rock" was not even a name in Jesus' time. Jesus did this, not to give Simon a strange name, but to identify his new status among the apostles. When God changes a person's name, He changes their status. Think about this! Do you recall another time in Biblical history when God changed a person's name? Yes! He changed Abram's name to Abraham and promised that he would be the Father of many nations.
It's certainly important that you recognized that the lines above and below pointed to the Messiah. What you need to ask yourself is why He chose to show you that particular line, that points to Peter.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's right up there with Roy Schoeman (a former Jew) and Fr. John Corapi.
There are some things in this life that we simply cannot understand and that is why we refer to them as mysteries. God created us and has a plan for each and everyone of us - Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist - etc. The what, how and why are a mystery to us. Some things are best left in the hands of the Creator.
Here's one of the 72 Virginians that Muslims are promised in paradise.
No ... please reflect on this for just a minute. Our Lord, knowing He could not remain on earth forever, left behind a Church and 7 Sacraments. One of these is the Sacrament of Confirmation. In that Sacrament, we receive 7 gifts from the Holy Spirit, amongst which is the gift of Wisdom. This gift was freely given to you and you should embrace it.
by Rev. William G. Most
We turn now to the Seven Gifts of the sanctifying category. They are: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord.
They each perfect certain basic virtues. Four of them perfect the intellectual virtues. Understanding gives an intuitive penetration into truth. Wisdom perfects charity, in order to judge divine things. Knowledge perfects the virtue of hope. The gift of counsel perfects prudence.
The other three gifts perfect virtues of the will and appetites. The gift of piety perfects justice in giving to others that which is their due. This is especially true of giving God what is His due. Fortitude perfects the virtue of fortitude, in facing dangers. Fear of the Lord perfects temperance in controlling disordered appetites.
To illustrate the difference between things done with the Gifts and those done with the ordinary virtues, we will take up the gift of counsel.
There are three kinds of guides a person may follow in making his decisions:
1) The whim of the moment. Aristotle in his Ethics 1. 5 says that to act that way is a life fit for cattle, who do just what they happen to feel like doing.
2) Reason, which in practice is always aided by actual graces, which God gives so generously. For example suppose I see three options open to me, all of which are moral. Ideally I would make at least mentally a list of the good points and of the bad points of each. The I would look over the whole board, and pick what gives the best effect for me. Or if I come to think I need penance for my sins, I would ask: How much have I sinned, so I can know how much penance? what kind of penance will fit with my health? with the obligations of my state in life? And after several steps, a decision is reached. This method is called discursive, since it moves from one step to another.
3) In the third and highest way a soul does not go from one step to another, in a discursive process, but the answer is, as it were, dropped fully made and complete into his mind by the Gifts. This was the case of Our Lady, for example at the annunciation. If she had been operating in the ordinary mode, she might well have reasoned: Now my people have been waiting for centuries for the Messiah (as soon as Gabriel said He would reign over the house of Jacob forever, even any ordinary Jew would have known that He was the messiah). Now he is here. I should share this news with others, especially the authorities in Jerusalem. And what about my husband Joseph? In a short time he will not be able to avoid dark thoughts. But the Gospel shows she did none of these things. God needed to send a special angel to tell Joseph. so the Gifts can lead souls to points not contrary to reason, but far more lofty than what reason would suggest.
Cf. the following from St. John of the Cross: (Ascent 3.2.10; cf. Living Flame 1.4; 1.9 and 2.34): "God alone moves the powers of these souls . . . to those deeds which are suitable, according to the will and plan of God, and they cannot be moved to others. . . . Such were the actions of the most glorious Virgin, our Lady, who, being elevated from the beginning [of her life] to this lofty state, had never the form of any creature impressed on her, nor was moved by such, but was always moved by the Holy Spirit."
But there is a danger: a soul could mistake its own desires for action of the Gifts, since the reasons are not clear to it. Two points must be kept in mind: 1) The full and apparent action of these gifts does not appear until one is well advanced in the spiritual life (hidden assistance by them can come earlier). 2) Ordinarily an inspiration via the Gifts leaves the soul not fully certain--a signal to consult a director or superior. Uncommonly they will give certitude, but only when a decision must be made on the spot, and there is no time to consult.
When a soul acts with usual actual graces God is the most important actor, yet the faculties of the human do churn out the result--hence it is easy to suppose the work is done basically by that soul. But under the action of the Gifts, the soul is more passive, and its own faculties contribute even less.
I had emergency neurosurgery C5-T1 and was kept in a drug induced coma for almost 48 hours. The next day, I got up and walked, and now have no neurological deficit. I don't so much feel lucky that I was able to live and remain miraculously unparalyzed, as I feel privileged and humbled that I am allowed to continue God's work.
Absolutely! One of the first questions posed in the Children's Catechism of the Catholic Church is this: "Why did God make me?"
A few months ago, on a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond , Ray's young daughter poses that question. Initially, Ray and his wife assume their daughter Allie is asking about how children are created. Ray is sent upstairs with books, posters, diagrams and prepped on proper pronunciation of the anatomical terms, by his wife. As he begins his dissertation, Allie cuts him off with "Daddy, I already know about sex. We learned that in health class" (btw - the child is no more than 8). She then clarifies her question, reposing it as "If we are all going to heaven, then why are we here?"
Ray emits a huge sigh of relief and then realizes that he does not have the answer to that question. He makes some flimsy excuse to go downstairs and promises to return shortly with the answer. If you have ever watched this program, then you already anticipate how it proceeds from there. The wife is clueless, the inlaws suggest the answer must be somewhere in the Bible and begin reading from Genesis. Finally, Ray picks up the phone and calls their pastor, Fr. Hubley. But Fr. Hubley is not home and Ray gets the answering machine. He leaves a message saying: "we have a simple question and hope you can answer it - why are we here?"
The answer is indeed quite simple and is taught to 1st graders. "Why did God make us?" Answer: He made us to know, love and serve Him in this world and be happy with Him forever in the next. Both you and freeper GregF have had an extraordinary experience, from which you have come away with responses that match that of the Baltimore Catechism. This must be a truly humbling experience for you both, to have the Lord of Lords, Creator of the Universe, reveal Himself to you. Listen to and adheed His directions. What a tremendous blessing! Think about the countless souls who go through life forever pondering that same question. Pray for them and always thank God for this tremendous gift He has bestowed on you.
Have you heard the story of Don Piper?
I just finished reading his book "90 Minutes In Heaven" last night. It's a very inspirational book.
Yes, and did you know that the duck billed platypus is poisonous? It has a venom filled barb or something like that. Ouch.
"even though few Dutch people are believers in God.
Can you back that statement up? How would you define "few" in that sentence?
Yeah, wow!
I read a similar account of a near-death experience given by another atheist. "Near death experience" is appropriately named, because according to Scripture, a man can only die once.
Hebrews 9:27
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment
I agree.
Greg, keeping in mind the author of the book that lead to your conversion, consider the following correlation of biblical passages.
In Isaiah 22, we see the existence of the historical office of the vice-regent (king) of the kingdom of David. In the king's absence, the vice-regent held full plenary authority. As a sign of his authority, the vice-regent wore a pouch around his neck which contained a key --the symbolic key to the Davidic kingdom.
In the passage from Isaiah, we see this office being transferred from Shebna to Eliakim:
Isaiah 22:20-23Jesus is the eternal king of the House of David, and is the power behind the keys.
"In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I will drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will be a seat of honor for the house of his father.
Revelation 3:7When Jesus gives Peter the "keys to the kingdom," he is placing Peter in the office of vice-regent of the eternal House of David, Christ's Church:
These are the words of him who is holy and true [Jesus], who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
Matthew 16:18-19Thank you for sharing your magnificent conversion story.
I tell you that you are Rock (Peter), and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Right out of the mouth of Jesus...A Stone...
So who led you to the bible, God, or Satan...And who led you to that verse, God, or Satan???
These people are trying to rob you of your faith and salvation (eternal security)...
John 10:27-31
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
The love child of Bill Clinton and Greg Norman!!!!
Very similar to my story....
Tell it!
Same setup: about the same age as you, I had a good job, nice fambly, and such, and no use for religion, God, and the whole mess. I wasn't really opposed to it in general, I just knew it wasn't for me.
What happened to me was simply this: God started prodding me. I'd be driving in to work, and I'd sense His presence. I knew it was Him, and kind of enjoyed it, but didn't pursue it. I had all the answers, you see.
We had a Dorling-Kindersley children's Bible at home, and my kids (who were small) liked it. They'd ask me to read to them from it, and I would ... and it was comforting to me. But I didn't pursue it, of course.
At some point along this road I realized that I did, in fact, believe in God, but it had no particular impact. One night I woke up with this thought in my head, "you know I exist. The question is, what are you going to do about it?" For a while I figured I would just argue my way into heaven -- which even I realized was stupid. But I had no sense of what to do about it.
Pride was a barrier. I had been rather strong in declaring my independence from God. My pride was such that I couldn't admit I had been wrong. I certainly didn't want people to see me admitting it.
It all came to a head this way: my wife was out of town, so I took my daughter to Sunday school. Having nothing better to do, I sat in on the church service and was going through the motions. Part of the liturgy goes like this. The priest starts out, "And now we proclaim the mystery of faith," and the congregation recites:
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again
On that last line, God spoke to me saying, in essence, "this is true, and you'd better straighten up."
This scared me, of course, but it also made me a Christian. An ignorant one, and an utterly clueless one, but I can date my conversion from that point.
The very hardest part, though, was in deciding to go to church -- admitting I was wrong. Usually on Sunday mornings I had simply helped my wife to get the kids ready, then they left and I sat around reading the paper. But one Sunday soon after -- it was early in Lent -- I bit the bullet. I put on a tie, and my wife asked, "what are you doing?" I said, "I'm going with you." It was a simple thing, and it was hard, and it was worth it.
And for all my fears, going to church wasn't hard, or embarrassing, or anything like that. That's the thing, though: "becoming a Christian" isn't just admitting to yourself: the really important part is in admitting it to other people. That's where you humble yourself, and become part of the Body of Christ.
Anyway, like you, my wife and many others had been praying for me. It really wasn't fair ... I had no chance! ;-)
Thank you. The prayers of wives seem to ping quite a few of us to unexpected things . . . I thought the man led the family!
You say "God spoke to me saying, in essence, 'this is true, and you'd better straighten up.'" I didn't really have words either, just understanding. I'm always impressed when people have an experience with God where they are given actual words. This fellow that was dead from the jellyfish actually saw words of scripture that he had never read before. Mother Theresa was told, with words, by Christ, to minister to the poorest of the poor. This impresses me. I don't know why it impresses me more than learning without words, which is even more extraordinary in some ways, but it does.
Actually, I've had several "spoken to" experiences. While the experiences have always been useful, they've never been particularly "happy" -- they've always been God slapping me down over some personal conceit or other.
You could be right, cuz they don't get much press. I'd never heard about any of them until recently (on FR).
Jesus and The Father are hard to see because there are no shadows or shades to contrast Them against. Angels are like prisms or crystals, giving off arrays
Moreover, we see seven colors and seven diatonic [sp] notes; whereas, there are Zillions of colors and musical notes Up There.
Bump, thanks for the reminder! Thank God for the Sacraments too!
Doesn't surprise me at all.
Thanks for the ping!

Made your recipe as written & wouldn't change a thing, because you have a wonderfully tasty chowder here! Although I usually use Hormel's Real Bacon Pieces in recipes like this, this time I did fry up the bacon (& the other ingredients in the bacon fat) & that added a great flavor to the whole thing! Many thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
Very good soup recipe. I made this as directed adding about an extra cup of half and half. A great meal in a bowl.
Very nice soup! I used homemade chicken stock, so needed to add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt at the end. Otherwise, I made just as written. This chowder is rich, thick and filling; along with being very easy to make. I used a spicy BBQ sauce, so I got a bite of heat as well, which complimented the other flavors. Along with being a great cool weather lunch or dinner, I'm adding this to my "after Thanksgiving" cookbook, as it will be a great way to use up some leftover turkey. Thanks for posting!
Really good! The BBQ sauce really makes it taste unique. Will make this again for sure!
Delicious! We really enjoyed this very easy-to-make hearty soup! I used deli chicken, so I probably used more chicken than specified resulting in a very thick and hearty soup! Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having often!

Just Sketches by IrishBeckyWatch

Just some random sketches drawn out of boredom. The reason John Jenkins has a bag over his head in that one sketch is because sometimes he feels ashamed of having a large nose. One of the sketches too, someone taller than Arthur is looking down at him, but I didn't think it turned out all that great. Oh well. That one sketch of Bartholomew Richards looks like a Chuck Jones expression. One sketch too, Darby is joking that he is gay. "Like the flowers in my hat?" No offense to gays. Arthur in a Leprechaun hat, IDK.
Ooh thweet! Love the expressions
Love Arthur with the lil leprechaun hat hehe <3

Nice sketches, Oh Darby you silly, silly thing but you do look good with those flowers in your hat!

You knew it was coming! Disgraced Disney darling Miley Cyrus is only three days into her latest public scandal, but her boo-boo's already inspiring web parodies.
Taiwanese animators have put together a side-splitting spoof of the now infamous leaked video that featured the 18 year-old giggling uncontrollably after taking a huge hit of smoke. Sources told celebrity website TMZ that the ex-Hannah Montana starlet was smoking salvia – not marijuana — a legal but highly-intoxicating herb. The substance has been banned in at least 15 states, but remains legal in California, where the Cyrus Video has renewed a stalled fight to have salvia banned.
Meanwhile, Miley has brought a new awareness to the hallucinogenic drug. TMZ reports that salvia sales have spiked to more than three times their normal number since the video emerged online on Friday. Los Angeles area head shops are reporting visits from a succession of dazed web surfers, who are coming in asking for "the stuff Miley was smoking."
Maybe Miles can become the latest posterchild in the fight to legalize drugs? Quick! Someone alert Willie Nelson.

I bought these as a throw-around pair of wire cutters for work, and I use them to strip wires 28 gauge and smaller. At first they were great, but the bolt-like thing that keeps the blades of the cutter together and holds the spring is loose. This causes the wire cutters to have a small space between them which is problematic for cutting or stripping small wires. I've found that in as little as three months of light use they now simply bend 28 gauge wire instead of cutting it. However, because of the small size and the ample blade space they're still good for stripping wires if you're good at it. I used these in college to strip every wire I had so I'm faster with an open blade than the fancy pre-measured slot types of wire strippers. So they're still good in that regard, especially small wires.

Most strippers won't cut very well or cut too much, these you can tell just where the plastic is and you can take just that off.

Good, handy little tool
By Roudi

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This is an excellent tool, expecially when dealing with fairly thin wire (e.g., 16 gauge and above). I had a similar item, but couldn't seem to find it, and so I bought this one. Good value for the money.
Really do like these clippers.

Easy to use and not hard to gauge in snipping wire. They are in expensive and feels good in the hard. I prefer these over some of the more expensive brands. I put 2 in each of my work bags.

I chose the five inch small stripper as I am changing our all the wall sockets in our house. Some of the locations are tight and the small stripper is perfect for that situation. It works like a charm, couldn't ask for better and a great price.

I bought this for a project using 20g multi strand wire. So far it has performed as expected and also used to cut small zip ties.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment

I've really enjoyed your work on ASM. I plan on picking up the next part of this story, and anything else you do on the title. That said, I totally did not need to see that last panel. Although it certainly gets over the idea that you're evil for anyone who missed the Irredeemable marketing, so good for you.
P.S.- That was still less disturbing/soul killing than Norman Osborn's oh face, so you deserve credit for that. Somehow, I'm more okay with what you wrote than that.
I really hope, despite how ridiculously sitcom-style that last panel was, that this doesn't turn into Peter Parker not being able to handle the facts of life and instead becoming a total jerk about what happened in said panel.
Well, J. Jonah Sr. has been written as the greatest guy ever so far, so I imagine he'll get over it eventually.
I am looking forward to Jonah's step brother if they get married.
Or, what I should have said: I am looking forward to Peter realising that he'd be Jonah Jr.'s stepbrother if May and JJJ Sr. get married.
I am irked, because I wanted to point out the other day that I was pretty darn sure that the wedding in ASM #600 was going to be Aunt May and JJ, but now that's obvious! D'oh!
I like that that is your biggest problem with that scene. But hey, there's still a slight possibility it will be Carly and Harry! Or, if I suddenly get to write the book for inexplicable reasons, Puma and Silver Sable.
That was….
that was traumatic.
When I saw that last panel, the only thing I could think of was Deadpool #0 (98).
It's not like we haven't seen the scene before.
I'm going to guess it was May and Beardster doin' it.
Am I incorrect?
Not knowing what this panel is is actually making it worse in my mind. I hope.
"I'm going to guess it was May and Beardster doin' it."
OK, Now I'm NOT checking it out. Old people can have sex if they want, not my business. But I still do not want to see it happen. Not what I read comics for.
It was JJJ Sr, standing behind May, who was on her hands and knees on the bed. A blanket was obviously covering all the naughty bits.
*barfs like a rookie cop at a murder scene*
"It was JJJ Sr, standing behind May, who was on her hands and knees on the bed. A blanket was obviously covering all the naughty bits."
I'm assuming you are kidding, but I have to ask, was it really that graphic? I've seen worse in comics, but not without Ennis' name on it.
It was a complete sitcom scene. Nothing graphic, just shocking and mostly meant for laughs.
My doctor said my eyes should stop bleeding Sunday, at the earliest.
And seriously…May and JJJ making out on the couch couldn't have gotten the point across?
I should add: making out on the couch FULLY CLOTHED, couldn't have gotten the point across?
And Omar: Of COURSE Peter's gonna be a jerk. There's no other way for that scene to play out! Him being cool with it in the beginning of ASM #593 would be…pardon the expression…anticlimactic.
Don't worry, it's a mild standard-soap-style "just after" shot, they're sitting up, covers pulled up to their necks, he's not on top of her or anything.
I can't believe some people actually bought that doggy-style gag, no matter what the state of the current regime at Marvel…
Other than that, why was a Dali-esque Wolverine the alternate cover for this?
Other than that, why was a Dali-esque Wolverine the alternate cover for this?
Marvel is doing a Wolverine Art Appreciation Month, where the variant covers are all Wolverine covers done in different famous art styles, such as Dali.
[…] Spider-Man #592- Despite the horror of the geriatric booty call on the last page, which I have already mentioned, this was a fun issue. Mark Waid's work on ASM so far has been one of the highlights of the […]
I knew it had to be some wanky Wolverine-overdose nonsense, but at least they usually at least give the book's star a token appearance on the thing. On the positive side, I only even noticed because the moderate cleverness of the thing actually caught my eye.
I probably missed knowing about this due to the fact that whenever I see news items about upcoming variant cover gimmick my eyes glaze over and my brain refuses to absorb the information.
I know I've already commented, but the more I think about this, the more it bugs me.
I have no problem with the pic itself, it's just that it's really such a overused idea.
Probably the least creative thing I have seen in ASM for a while.
Waid is better than that.

Through most of the season, nose tackle Kenny Clark looked like UCLA's best player. Pac-12 coaches agreed.
When the All-Pac-12 teams were announced Tuesday, Clark was the Bruins' sole first-team representative on offense, defense, or special teams. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound junior was second on the team with seven tackles for loss, showed off his development as a pass rusher by notching his first five career sacks.
UCLA placed several more players on the second team. On offense, running back Paul Perkins, center Jake Brendel and left tackle Conor McDermott all earned spots. Linebacker Deon Hollins and defensive backs Randall Goforth and Jaleel Wadood filled in for the defense.
Receiver Jordan Payton, linebacker Aaron Wallace, and cornerback Marcus Rios were honorable mentions.
Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising part of the all-conference selections was Ka'imi Fairbairn settling for being a second-team specialist. The kicker became the Pac-12's all-time leading scorer this season, hit a school-record 60-yard field goal, and is one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award. Throw in his respectable 20 of 23 conversion rate on field goals, and he seemed like a shoe-in on the first team.
Instead, Pac-12 coaches voted for Aidan Schneider. The Oregon sophomore was slightly more accurate at 20 of 22, but hadn't attempted a field goal longer than 41 yards. Fairbairn's three misses have come from 47, 49 and 50 yards.
