John 6

I have been reading up on John 6. I'm a little curious as to the text in this chapter. It really and truly appears as if Jesus is speaking literally, which is what most Catholics believe, but I just can't believe that. I think that verse 63 specifies that he's speaking metaphorically, but at the same time that doesn't make sense in the context of this chapter. If anyone has a great understanding of this chapter let me know, because it's rather confusing to me. Cheers!

Bluetooth 3.0

A much faster version of Bluetooth is on the way, and officials with the Bluetooth Special Interest Group say products using the wireless protocol may be on the market as early as 2007. The next-generation Bluetooth is said to operate at similar distances (around 30 feet, best case) to today's Bluetooth 2.0 but is a lot faster, capable of wireless transfers at a rate of 480Mbps. That's 60MB per second, fast enough for high definition videoconferencing or moving files around at a fairly rapid clip.

That kind of speed blows the doors off Bluetooth 2.0, which pokes along at a mere 721Kbps 2.1 Mbps. The new Bluetooth gets its exponentially faster speed by teaming up with ultra wideband technology (UWB). But there are other contenders using similar tech such as Wireless USB (also 480Mbps), and it's hard to tell how these various protocols will compete with each other. The way we see it, Bluetooth is for near-distance, or personal area networking and Wireless USB has farther reach. But with the increased distance of Wireless USB, what would be the point of a shorter-distance protocol such as Bluetooth? Looks like we might have a horserace on our hands. Commenters, thoughts?

This Is Good. Very Good.

Roche Holding AG said it has agreed free technology transfers with two African laboratories concerning AIDS medication.

The Swiss pharmaceuticals group said it has signed agreements with Addis Pharmaceutical Factory in Ethiopia and Varichem Pharmaceuticals in Zimbabwe.

Under the terms of the deals, the two African laboratories will receive free technical know-how enabling them to produce a generic anti-HIV treatment, based on the process for manufacturing Saquinavir, Roche's drug for the treatment of the AIDS.

Under Roche's technology transfer programme, which was initiated in January 2006, the company has so far signed deals with five African laboratories.

Yay For My Stocks! =D

MY FAVORITE VERSES

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The steps of the Godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life….

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace!

Heroes:

One of the definitions of Hero
in Websters is:

"an object of extreme admiration and devotion"

By these standards, I have several:

My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for paying the ultimate sacrifice for a wretch such as me.

My father, for demonstrating a selfless being; devoted purely to my mother and her every whim.

My mother, for giving up a career to raise 5 kids and homeschool them and for loving her children and husband unconditionally.

My Wife, for being everything to me.
