Mangoes have been my favorite piece of fruit since I was little; I remember constantly asking my parents to buy mangoes at the store. We would watch them ripen on the counter, turn a brilliant color and wrinkle a bit before we cut in and enjoyed. The process was almost as fun as the eating! I was living in Arizona as a boy when I first developed my love for mangos - I even planted the pit to see if I could grow my own tree (unsuccessfully of course). They have a flavor unlike any other fresh fruit.
Mangoes are native to South Asia, near eastern India. A distant relative to the pistachio and the cashew, the mango has traveled the globe, grown in the Middle East, Africa, Brazil, Mexico, and even the United States. This rapid global growth has made it one of the most popular fruits in the world. This popularity has recently come to the United States, where the mango is becoming a staple item on many shopping lists.
As with many produce items, there is one variety of mango that is second to none; a variety that will win the heart of any non-mango eating person around. I am referring to the Champagne mango. The Champagne mango is of the Ataulfo variety and is the most pampered and carefully selected mango in the world. This variety was developed in the Mexican state of Chiapas and I promise if it is properly ripened, the Champagne mango will treat you to a flavor you have never experienced before.
As you can see from the ripening guide below, Champagne mangoes are best left on the counter until they are a beautiful golden color with a few wrinkles visible in the skin.
At this point, they are powerfully sweet with a texture like butter: smooth, soft and almost melting in your mouth. Its uses are endless, but my favorite is as a dessert. The common post-meal sweet tooth is easily satisfied with this sweet and healthy alternative. The Champagne mango is a seasonal item lasting from the middle of March through July. Pick-up your Champagne mangos at Lunds or Byerly's and discover something new. You just might get hooked! Check out this easy guide to cutting your mango! It is a good reference for all mangoes, not just the Champagne.
Champagne® mangos have a thin pit in their core. When you slice them, be careful to cut slightly off center so you do not to cut through it.
1. Start by holding the mango with the smaller end facing up and stem-side down. Cut the mango in half by slicing off its sides. There will be a little "meat" on the pit of the mango. You can use your knife to slice it off and then discard the pit.
2. Use a knife to make slices along the length of each mango half, then again across to make a crisscross pattern. Just be careful not to cut through the skin. TIP: At this point, you can take a spoon and scoop out the cubes, or, you may follow Steps 3 & 4.
3. Holding a half mango, use your finger to press gently on the skin, pushing the mango cubes out.
4. Slice cubes off with a knife, or scoop out with a spoon before you push the cubes out. Discard the skin.

i hope you guys can see the complexity of this piece. read once all the way through, then read it excluding the words in parentheses, and then read only the words in parentheses :) (this is what i do to avoid math) (it was so difficult and took me forever) (appreciate it please omg)
wow i applaud you, this is amazing
I love this. And it reminds me of e.e. cummings! Really pretty writing :)
woahhh ily
this is the most beautiful thing i have ever read wow
(Source: tsktsks)
that is fucking win
"The first time we said, "Hello,"
it felt as though pterodactyls were flapping their wings against the corridors of my stomach.
That day, Cupid didn't have an arrow large enough to hold a love this size,
so he hi-jacked a plane and flew it into my chest.
You make me want to jump off the highest building in the city
just to prove that I am invincible with you next to me.
I'm saying like, don't text me or instant message me;
trust it's important that I hear your voice today—
it's crucial that we speak today.
And if I was to say that I really, really wanted to get to know you,
it would just be an understatement:
Me, I want to pour your thoughts into a wine glass
and sip them slow with a straw like I'm on vacation;
I want to light candles and bathe for hours in secrets that you've just never had the courage
to say out loud—
I'm ready.
I'm ready to grab onto your dreams and jump in a pool head first just to see if
hope still floats—I want to float next to you.
I'm talking like, ten feet above cumulus clouds
so no one can ever rain on our parade.
As is the only card game we both understand is Spades—
yo, let's play
and if I win, you have to let me fall in love with you.
But if I win, all you have to do is let me fall in love with you.
See, if I could,
if I could,
I would sing you a song.
If I could,
I would write you a poem.
If I could,
I would sample your smile and then let my heartbeat do the bassline:
we would create the greatest love song of all time whenever we stand next to each other.
Love, I was the only one made for you,
and you can be "At Last" by Etta James
and I will be the "Ooh child" whenever you're in pain
or you can be candy coated drops of rain
although it never rains in Southern California.
And we could be music,
so when my friends ask if you're my girlfriend,
I'll say, "No,
she is my musician,
and me,
I guess you can say I'm her favorite song."
She has purchased real estate in my state of unconsciousness:
she lives in my thoughts,
and she visits my dreams,
so I see her at night and then I see her again during the day
and whether or not she physically passes my way,
the day we met begins to play
and rewind in my mind at least one time every thirty minutes;
that's like forty-eight times a day;
that's like 336 times a week,
and she makes me weak in my knees
and I can hardly speak,
like that old school song by SWV.
As I stand here like a deer caught in the headlights of her beauty,
as she dances in my ideas
and before she sleeps,
it's like she wraps herself in my memories
and she serenades my soul with sweet melodies of her voice.
She was the first girl to make my palms moist just by walking into the room.
And even though her beauty consumes me,
I sit back wondering whether or not I should actually pursue it.
I know what you're thinking:
that I'm just some love-sick fool
but tell me what would you do if you saw the most beautiful flower in the whole world?
I mean, even if you don't like flowers,
but if you just saw this one flower that just took your breath away,
a flower so beautiful that even the hardest of thugs would stop and say,
"Ay yo, that flower's kinda nice."
I mean a flower so beautiful that a mere glance doesn't suffice
because it entices you to get closer.
Now, what would you do?
Would you pick the flower
or would you leave it there so that somebody else can see it too."

"When you start to really know someone, all her physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in her energy, recognize the scent of her skin. You see only the essence of the person,not the shell. That's why you can't fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that's why, when you really connect with a person's inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant." — Lisa Unger (via atomos)

Physiologically Interactive Music (PIM)– The Ultimate Exercise and Exergame Music
|Utah State University is seeking a company interested in commercializing a technology using music to motivate exercise in a new way, satisfying a prevalent need. Health and fitness are at the forefront of consumers' minds, with health club memberships doubling to 40 million since 1990 and a steadily growing home fitness market ($3.54 billion in 2006). Matching personal music, however, to a routine has been manual and imprecise at best, despite recent developments in portable music devices. Recognizing this limitation, individuals still strongly desire to use music as a major component of their exercise routines. Addressing this market need, a researcher at Utah State University has developed a new method for influencing, motivating, and overall enhancing exercise through music, without limiting the music or genre selection. No longer limited to a tempo close to the tempo of the activity, any music can be presented without distortion in direct synchronization with an individual's movements. Broad market opportunities exist, including highly challenged individuals suffering from obesity, average exercise enthusiasts, and professional athletes.
|Features and Benefits
|Using music of the listener's choice or from a predetermined menu, the invention enables control of an activity's frequency (such as pace or breathing) through a method that presents the listener with a combined base track of prerecorded music (base tempo) and a rhythmic musical track (activity tempo). The activity tempo, which can be pre-programmed, manual, or interactive based on sensor feedback, is altered to influence the pace of the activity. For the first time, enhanced instrumental tracks at secondary tempos can interact with multiple responses (pace, respiration and heart rates) in relation to the base tempo to serve aerobic and other training functions.
|Development Stage
|One issued patent and one pending utility patent.

Few men get to have as much fun as Chris Harris does, as he is constantly beating the hell out of cars and getting paid to do so. So for the most part, we all live vicariously through his videos. In his latest installment, he takes on a car that we haven't seen too much of here in the states, but is vastly popular, per Harris' video, in the European market.
This elusive slab of carbon fiber and tubular steel is the BAC Mono . In the terms of a race car, its 280-horsepower 2.3-liter Duratec Ford engine with Cosworth-built pistons and forged rods is paltry. However, when you mate that up to a flat-shifting, paddle-shift, 6-speed trans, and a 540 kg (1,190-pound) chassis and body, you have one mean machine.
This British rocket hits a top speed of 170 mph and sprints to 60 in just 2.8 seconds – not too shabby for a glorified Focus engine, huh? Add in a rain-soaked track with plenty of twists and turns with Chris Harris behind the wheel, and you have a whole lot of BAC Mono tail wagging. Despite all of the oversteer, Harris repeatedly boasts how easy the Mono is to control. This becomes obvious when he doesn't spin it out even once, despite swinging that tail end out pretty wide at times.
Check out the above video to see for yourself. If you're able to, crank up the volume too, so you can get a good listen to that high-revving Ford power plant.

Peter Ackroyd
Adult Fiction ACKROYD
Summary: Charles and Mary Lamb, who will achieve lasting fame as the authors of Tales from Shakespeare for children, are young adults still living at home in Peter Ackroyd's latest excursion into England's literary and social history. Charles, an aspiring writer bored stiff by his job as a clerk at the East India Company, enjoys a drink or three too many each night at the local pub. His sister, Mary, is trapped in domesticity, caring for her ailing, dotty father and her maddening mother. The siblings' enchantment with Shakespeare provides a much-needed escape, and they delight in reading and quoting the great bard. When William Ireland, an ambitious young antiquarian bookseller, comes into their lives claiming to possess a "lost" Shakespearean play, the Lambs can barely contain their excitement. As word of the amazing find spreads, scholars and actors alike beat a path to Ireland's door and soon all of London is eagerly anticipating opening night of a star-studded production of the play. The perfect, lighthearted follow-up to Ackroyd's magnificent biography of Shakespeare, THE LAMBS OF LONDON transforms the real-life literary hoax that swept most of London off their feet into an ingenious, intriguing drama that will keep readers guessing right to the end.

Is This Stock Being Jacked Around?
Malcolm is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Let see now, way, way back on 30 August (3 weeks ago) fellow fool blogger Rich Smith reported regarding Pandora (NYSE: P):
Still, the announcement of 51% revenue growth, combined with bullish noise on future growth, have rekindled optimism about the stock on Wall Street.
So far, at least two analysts (Canaccord and SunTrust) have upgraded the stock to buy, while several more are doubling down on their already bullish prognostications...
Buying into a money-loser may not make much sense to value investors, but for the mo-mo crowd, momentum has its own logic. With the shares up 23% (and counting), the bulls control the day. [emphasis added]
The stock price jumped from (29 Aug) $10.08 to close at $11.52 and on 6 Sept. at $12.57.
Then, the axe fell. Late on 6 Sept, rumors sprang up that big, bad Apple was intending to start an internet radio system in competition to good old P.
Apple Inc. is in talks to license music for a custom-radio service similar to the popular one operated by Pandora Media Inc., according to people familiar with the matter... (WSJ)
Whee.... back down to $10.47 in a flash (7 Sept.). (Personally, I was skeptical.)
Well, the iPhone-5/iOS6 announcement has come and gone, with no news of Apple doing any internet radio AND NOW Bloomberg announces:
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Inc.'s potential entry into Internet radio is poised to put online music pioneer Pandora Media Inc. on the takeover wish lists of companies from Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).com Inc. to Clear Channel Communications Inc.
Needham says Pandora could fetch $14 a share in a takeover, a 32 percent premium, while Albert Fried sees the potential for a deal at about $20.
TWENTY DOLLARS they say!! Is it just me, or does this smell fishy? Once again, I am skeptical.
I am not sure why a company would want to buy Pandora, which is already losing money, if it were presumably about to lose a significant portion of its user base to an new competitor (Apple). (Apple up 0.2% to 700.09)
Google (which makes the Android operating system that competes with Apple's iOS) has deep pockets, so it potentially could buy it in spite of losses just to maintain a thorn in Apple's side. Still, I really do not see a motivation to go into a completely unrelated field, especially since they seem to have gotten burned with the Motorola acquisition. (Google was up 0.81% today to $733.99)
I have trouble seeing why Amazon would want a money loser. They already have to support Kindle from sales. To them it makes no difference who owns a service provider as long as it is available. Of course there is the idea of adding customer accounts, but I do not see a huge value for for Amazon here. How many of those accounts satisfy both qualities of (1) not being Amazon customers already, and (2) being a potenially profitable addition as a customer? (Amazon - 1.28% to $257.47)
Clear Channel makes the best case for a buyer, but are they ready to take on the problem?
To my mind - this whole thing is predicated on a rumor in which I hold little faith. (Again, see this.) Apple does not start new ventures on a whim. They do so only for strategic purposes. (See this post on why they are doing maps.)
I went to seee if there was any increase in short interest just prior to the Apple rumors. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a chart of daily short interest figures. The best I could find was this:
It shows a significant increase in shorts from the previous month - though not extraordinary. I could find nothing on the timing.
I really have to recall the famous interview with Jim Cramer on stock manipulation.
Draw your own conclusions.
(Pandora was down 0.76% today to $10.50)

UPDATED: Manchester police officer charged with Bedford hit-and-run
UPDATE: Former Manchester Sgt. Stephen Coco, turned himself in on two felony warrants charging him with conduct after an accident and was arraigned early Tuesday morning in 9th Circuit Court District Division in Merrimack.
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance, at a press conference this morning at Bedford Police Department, said two teenage boys, ages 17 and 18, were struck from behind by an undercover police vehicle allegedly operated by Coco near 31 Harrod Lane. Coco was off duty at the time, LaFrance said.
LaFrance said a mugshot for Coco will not be released as doing so might post a risk to him as a former undercover officer assigned to the Special Investigations Unit.
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance, at a press conference this morning at Bedford Police Department, said two teenage boys, ages 17 and 18, were struck from behind by an undercover police vehicle allegedly operated by Coco near 31 Harrod Lane. Coco was off duty at the time, LaFrance said.
LaFrance said a mugshot for Coco will not be released as doing so might post a risk to him as a former undercover officer assigned to the Special Investigations Unit.
Coco, 41, of Bedford lives about a mile away from the accident scene, she said. Both teens were released from the hospital and are recovering from their injuries.
Coco was fired Monday after an internal investigation conducted by Manchester police revealed he had violated several of the department's standard operating procedures, according to Manchester Police Chief David Mara.
BEDFORD — The county's top prosecutor said she hopes an arrest warrant will be issued in the next two days in connection with a hit-and-run accident Friday night involving a Manchester police undercover vehicle.
Meanwhile, Manchester police announced that police Sgt. Stephen Coco, a 17 1/2-year veteran on the force, had been fired from his $84,000-a-year job Monday afternoon following an internal investigation into the accident. Police Chief David Mara said Coco, a member of a drug investigation unit, had been assigned the vehicle involved in the accident.
An internal affairs investigation found Coco had violated several police procedures, Mara said.
The hit-and-run accident took place about 9:20 p.m. Friday on Harrod Lane, a quiet residential street of about a dozen homes in south Bedford. Two pedestrians were injured, one with what Bedford police initially described as "serious head trauma."
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance said a 17- and 18-year-old male were both treated at a hospital, but have since been sent home.
"They're both very fortunate they did not sustain life-threatening injury," LaFrance said.
She said her office is consulting with Bedford police, which is investigating the accident. Information about the accident will be released once an arrest warrant is issued. LaFrance said she hopes an arrest will be made within a couple of days, but stressed it depends on the pace of the investigation.
"This case, obviously because it involves an off-duty Manchester police officer, we want to make sure people understand there's no favoritism. We're investigating this as we would any conduct-after-an-accident and we want the public aware of that," she said.
Once an arrest is made, LaFrance plans to refer the case to a prosecutor outside of Hillsborough County to avoid any perception of favoritism, she said.
State law makes it a felony not to report an accident that results in bodily injury.
LaFrance on Monday would not name the victims or discuss their injuries. She would not say whom authorities believe was driving the vehicle. Nor would she say how many people were in the vehicle.
She said the vehicle has been impounded by Bedford police. LaFrance said police are also investigating why the vehicle was in the neighborhood at the time.
This is not Coco's first involvement with Bedford police. In 2004, authorities investigated his shooting and killing of an unleashed Belgian shepherd-chow mix after he said it rushed at him and his two pre-school-age daughters in Pulpit Rock Park in Bedford.
Coco shot the dog three times with his service-issued, .40 caliber handgun. An investigation cleared him of any crime in the shooting.
Mara said an internal investigation was opened early Saturday morning.
The unmarked, undercover vehicle was assigned to Coco, Mara said. He said Manchester police are cooperating with Bedford police in their investigation into the accident.
Manchester police, he said, are "greatly saddened to learn of this terrible incident and our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their families."

According to the report, in 2011, "the average annual cost of full-time child care for an infant in a center ranged from about $4,600 in Mississippi to nearly $15,000 in Massachusetts." In nineteen states and D.C., the average cost of infant care was higher than $10,000.
According to the report Kentucky has an average annual cost of $6, 594 and the average annual cost in Indiana is $9,880.

Definition of 'Arbitrage'
The simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset in order to profit from a difference in the price. It is a trade that profits by exploiting price differences of identical or similar financial instruments, on different markets or in different forms. Arbitrage exists as a result of market inefficiencies; it provides a mechanism to ensure prices do not deviate substantially from fair value for long periods of time.
Investopedia explains 'Arbitrage'
Given the advancement in technology it has become extremely difficult to profit from mispricing in the market. Many traders have computerized trading systems set to monitor fluctuations in similar financial instruments. Any inefficient pricing setups are usually acted upon quickly and the opportunity is often eliminated in a matter of seconds.
Arbitrage is a necessary force in the financial marketplace. To understand more of this concept, read Trading The Odds With Arbitrage.

Strong Thames currents end fundraising water bicycle bid (From thisisoxfordshire)

Strong Thames currents end fundraising water bicycle bid
7:00am Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
A BIZARRE water bicycle, which lay unused in a shed for years, had its first bid for glory scuppered by strong river currents.
Terry Hammond set off on Friday from Lechlade on an ambitious charity cycle ride down the Thames. But he only got as far as Godstow, Oxford, when a lock-keeper advised him on Sunday that the contraption would not get to London safely in the strong currents.
He hopes to be able to try again in the Spring.
Mr Hammond discovered the unique, hand-built contraption, nicknamed "Skippy", after searching on the internet.
The unusual bicycle is the result of years of hard work by Oxford academic David Witt.
Mr Witt said: "This is not just a bicycle in water, those have been made since the 19th century.
"If you want to make a boat that is fast, you want to make it long and thin, but then it falls over.
"Skippy has two floats above the level of the water which don't impede the movement but act as breaks."
Mr Witt and his colleagues at the Oxford University department of engineering began work on their prototype in 1984, described as "a pretty amateur job".
The first effort kept falling over, which prompted the addition of the floats.
After years of revision, the final Skippy hit the water in 2003.
However, Mr Witt had already retired in 1999, and felt he was past the point where he wanted to keep falling in the water testing his creation.
So, Skippy ended up in storage for almost 10 years until an email arrived out of the blue from Southampton resident, Mr Hammond.
Mr Hammond came down to take a look in January, then tried it out in the spring. In July he took it on its first real journey in 10 years, eight miles down the river to Eynsham.
Mr Hammond, 65, said: "I have raised funds before and I tend to go for wacky ideas. I try to do that both to bring a smile to people's faces, and to raise people's awareness of mental health, for people to take more notice of their mental health and not to be frightened of it.
"When I did the training run it was absolutely fantastic. From a distance it does look like I'm riding a bike on the river, lots of people were smiling and cheering me. It certainly brings a smile to people's face."
Mr Hammond's son Stephen has schizophrenia, and he was raising money for mental health charity Rethink.

I can remember a time when to qualify as a journalist you had to know how to spell. Quite what Pete Hughes thinks 'breaks' are supposed to achieve on a boat is a mystery. Maybe they are for when Terry stops pedalling for a bit and has a Kit-Kat?

One of the objectives of an efficient knowledge management strategy is to turn tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge.
Explicit knowledge is objective and rational, it can be easily expressed to others via words, symbols or numbers, is easily transferrable and it can be stored in the form of data, scientific formulae, user guides, slide material, documents etc.
Explicit knowledge is easily transferable on a knowledge platform via a training or conference, a procedure manual, a report or slide presentation.
Subjective experimental, tacit knowledge is based on insights, experience and intuition
Tacit knowledge is more difficult to share with others as it is deeply rooted in an individual action and experience. A solution to enhance tacit knowledge into a knowledge management framework is to ignite the emergence of knowledge communities , also called communities of practice.
Knowledge communities are:
|Groups of people
Who, for a specific topic, share one or more:
|Visible and formalised
Communities and community members are:
|Value and information minded
People join communities in order to:
|Knowledge oriented
As people deepen their understanding of the topic by:

text: Proposition 7 allows for home rule municipalities to provide in its charter the procedure to fill a vacancy in a governing when an unexpired term is less than a 12 months. Many home rule cities in Texoma already have language within their charter to allow an appointment process of this type. Supporters of the bill say it would cut taxpayer costs when an elected official passes's away or otherwise leaves office. Currently the state constitution requires the city to hold a special election within 120 days even if only a few months remain in the term. Proponents say those special elections cost tax payers thousands of dollars. Now those appointees would be subject to an election when the remainder of that unexpired term is over much the same as every other current elected official. However, opposers say that this allows the opportunity for corruption by allowing city officials to appoint one another. Opponents of proposition 7 say that even though these special elections cost thousands of dollars, those thousands of dollars are the best way to ensure democracy.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - During his State of the State address, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker laid out his plan for continued economic prosperity.
"Our friends and neighbors are going back to work and job creators are expanding their businesses," Governor Walker said. "Thanks to sound fiscal management, I am proud to announce further tax relief for Wisconsinites and additional funding for worker training. We will continue to work diligently until everyone who wants a job can find a job."
Walker urged lawmakers at the State Capitol to call a special session to approve more than $500 million in property and income tax cuts. The governor also said he wanted to put over $100 million of the projected $1 billion surplus into Wisconsin's rainy day fund.
In his first speech of this election year, Governor Walker also touted job growth during his time in office.
"During the three years before I took office, Wisconsin lost over 133,000 jobs; and at the lowest point, the unemployment rate topped out at 9.2 percent," Governor Walker said. "Now, Wisconsin is going back to work. According to monthly estimates, private sector job creation between April and November of 2013 was the best since 1994 and the unemployment rate in Wisconsin is the lowest it has been since 2008."
In the Democratic response following the State of the State address, Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca took shots at not just Governor Walker's plan for the surplus, but lagging job creation when compared with other states.
"The laws passed in this Capitol during three years under Governor Walker and Republicans have not created jobs. Wisconsin has fallen from 11th to 37th in job creation," said Barca, who added about the surplus. "Governor Walker proposes irresponsibly spending much of the surplus on election-year gimmicks that will bring his growing structural deficit above $800 million. The last thing most Wisconsinites want is to once again return to the conditions Governor Walker used to justify dividing our state and causing massive disruption in people's lives."

Question Number 39:
What is the Old Testament canon of the Orthodox Church? Is the Apocrypha recognized as canonical?
ANSWER:The Orthodox Old Testament includes both canonical (or protocanonical) books and supplemental books which are not considered canonical (i.e. protocanonical) but deuterocanonical or in Greek Anaginoskomena ("to be read").
Deuterocanonical is used here in a sense that is different than the Roman Catholic sense. In Roman Catholic terminology, "deuterocanonical" means approved later but with the same canonical authority. In the Orthodox use, "deuterocanonical" means having secondary authority, but useful and part of the Biblical library (no Orthodox Bible would not contain them). The Scriptures testify to Jesus Christ and since neither Protestants nor Jews recognize these Scriptures, their power to serve as witness is inferior. However, they are read in the Orthodox churches and have great value.
This view is faithful to the position of the earliest Christians (i.e. Justin, Origen) as well as the distinction connected with Athanasius and other important Fathers.
I would like to confirm a few things.
1. What books do Eastern Orthodox consider Apocryphal books?(I know Gospel of Judas and some other supposedly fraudulent Gospels)
2. What books do you call Deuterocannonical books?
3. When were these Deuterocannonical books authorized and was there anytime that the bible did not have these books?
You say they have a secondary authority. What does this mean? Namely, are you saying that they are not infallible? If they are infallible, then what about their nature, or subject matter makes them secondary?
Anytime this topic is discussed, the books in question are OT inter-testamental period plus some additions to other OT books. There is no debate among Christian sects regarding the NT canonicity.
A list of those referenced in the question are:
1-4 Maccabees
Additions to Daniel
Additions to Esther
Epistle of Jeremiah
The Prayer of Manasseh

Tossed around like ping pong balls. That's what emergency crews say happened to young students in Tunbridge where five were sent to the hospital after their bus flipped over.
"When we arrived on scene the school bus was over a short embankment about six to eight feet down the school bus was on its side," said Tunbridge Fire Chief, John Durke who was first to arrive on the scene. He says the bus was on its side in a muddy ditch on Strafford Road. 15 of the 20 students on board climbed out unscathed.
"There were kids in different vehicles. Bypassers put them in to help keep them warm. It was pretty chilly," Durkee added.
The other five students were taken to area hospitals. They sustained cuts and bruises when windows shattered as they were tossed around in the tumble.
"Busses don't have safety belts. They were probably bouncing around there like ping pong balls," Durkee said.
But, the crash could have been worse. It turns out many students who would normally be on the bus were at an afterschool concert. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. But Durkee says weather was a factor, "There was snow squalls up in that area. The roads down here were dry, but up around the corner there the road was covered and slippery."
The 15 students who were aided by passersby were eventually transported back to the school where they were cleared by EMTs before being released to their parents.

- Ok, but not great.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014Although our food was quite tasty, I found the service very disappointing. The staff we had were going through the motions and didn't seem that interested. I bought a reasonably expensive bottle of wine and was annoyed to see it being spilled over the side of my glass when it was being poured carelessly by staff. Regrettably, I should have challenged the 18% gratuity on the bill but didn't. That said, this was the case in many NYC restaurants, too busy looking good to deliver good service. We won't be back to the restaurant or the city.Special Features:
- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/28/2014We made reservations. Arrived and found out we had to wait if we wanted a window table. Ordered steak and returned it. It was so overcooked, it was like chewing shoe leather. They did cook a different type of steak and gave me a free glass of wine. Overall for the price we paid, the food was mediocre. Our waiter David was very good.Special Features:

- The Best View!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014The View restaurant in New York is absolutly brilliant. My wife were in NY to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and decided to have a special meal when we there, so we chose the view as it had been recommended to us by friends. The staff there are superb, nothing was too much trouble and when I wanted to surprise my wife with an eternity ring, they obliged by bringing it out on a separate platter during dessert, with some very welcome champange! This is by far the best meal I have ever eaten in a restaurant with service to match it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The View is MagicalLinkstarDined on 9/26/2014My family and I celebrated my daughter's 45th birthday at The View. After reading some negative reviews, I was a bit sceptical, but our experience there was everything I'd hoped it would be. The staff was attentive and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and although they do no have a kids menu, our server helped them make decisions he felt would appeal to them. They also surprised my daughter (and me!) with a little dessert with a birthday candle. It was lovely to slowly revolve, giving us all the exciting views NYC has to offer. We will definitely go there again for a very special occasion.Special Features:
- Go for the View only.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/26/2014Well, this restaurant was really what we expected. Chose this restaurant for the view and to have a nice dining experience before the theatre. Mandatory prix fixe menu $84.00 per person. Food was just okay but the view is really what you are there for in this revolving restaurant. Hard to really recommend though as the wait staff have been there for 50 years and could really care less if you're having a unique dining experience. All in all , it was nice but not overly memorable.Special Features:

- Scenic, friendly — but very priceyUpstaterDined on 9/24/2014Save your pennies and head to this restaurant for that special evening. It's a unique environment, with the slowly turning restaurant providing a panoramic view of the city (weather permitting). But an $85 minimum per person? And a minimum $13-14 per glass of wine? Ouch. Our party of three adults and one child ran up about a $500 bill with three meals, five glasses of wine, tax and 20 percent tip (well deserved, though). It was a special occasion for us but, still, if I had known the price in advance I would have gone elsewhere. Our waitress was very kind and helpful, going out of her way for a casually dressed group with a rambunctious child. But the service was extremely slow.Special Features:
- Bring lots of moneyaussiesabroadDined on 9/23/2014We found the food to be excellent here, but the service was mixed with our dessert order being forgotten by the waitress and blamed on the kitchen for "losing" it, but we are not easily fooled. Also, the promised view of Times Square does not eventuate, although the vista of other buildings is still good. Finally, the meal was crazy expensive.
- BeautifuldinnerandaviewDined on 9/23/2014Beautiful setting. Delicious food. Best three course meal we ever had. Service couldn't have been better. Perfect night. Such am experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist TrapHugodoggieVIPDined on 9/23/2014This a a revolving restaurant with and incredible New York vista. The food is really good but geared to out of towners. Kind of like what you expect to find on the menu in an Atalanta Georga Country Club. The wait staff is super pleasant and nice. The management is a major pain in the a--. I was warned before I was even seated that I would have to get up in 2 hours, that was the allotted seating time. More like a ride at Disney world than a fine restaurant. Also we were tricked into a $10 bottle of water, when we were asked if we wanted sparkling or still water, we said plain water will do. While we were in conversation out came a bottle of designer water, they just slipped it right passed us.Beware.Special Features:

- AwsomeTrevDined on 9/21/2014I enjoyed The View immensely. I took my wife to brunch for her birthday and it did not disappoint. The food was perfect, the service was amazing. This has become our favorite celebration restaurant. I recommend this highly to anyone who wants to enjoyed a wonderful variety of taste foods. Sunday brunch is such a delight. Since we go 1-2 times a year we have not only fell in love with the food, atmosphere and scenery, but also the staff. We have been blessed to have Samir and Miz tend to our table. They anticipated our every request. The service is impeccable. I hope to be dinning there again very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Buffet or a la carte?Ilovenyc228Dined on 9/21/2014I've been to the View twice it's lovely but I wish you could purchase the food a la carte as well. I feel you sould be able to have brunch a little less expensively for people who eat one trip to the buffet.Special Features:
- FabulousdebbroadwayDined on 9/21/2014I need to be gluten free and when I mentioned that to the waiter, he asked the chef to come over. She went through the entire brunch menu and explained everything i could have. Then at the end of the meal, the sent me out a wonderful gluten free dessert.Special Features:
- Sunday BrunchGrumpyDined on 9/21/2014Went to Sunday Brunch and the wife and I enjoyed ourselves. Not the very best breakfast buffet we've ever been to, but glad we went. Had to experience eating up high in the air with a good view. Glad we went. Not sure we would make plans to go back.Special Features:
- Tourist SpotExperienceddinerDined on 9/20/2014If you are looking for fine dining, The View is not the place for you even though it is a minimum of $150.00 per person. It is a tourist destination and gimmick venue. The food is fair to good. Way over priced. There are limited selections on the forced price fixed menu. Servers are polite, and automatic. It is a place to go to just for the gimmick of a revolving restaurant. The true experienced diner will not be satisfied. Dinner started with cold (literally out of the fridge cold) bread sticks. The plates are pre-prepped, including dinner. The clever use of refrigeration, and "holding units" for the hot food is obvious. Will not return.Special Features:
- The ViewViewtasticDined on 9/20/2014Amazing service and the food was fabulous not too mcuh perfect proportions Sea Bass divine with an extensive wine list and a waiter who knew about wine!!

- Lovely Viewsfood4thoughtDined on 9/20/2014The views are very nice, and the restaurant ambiance is nice as well. The food is average. The appetizers and desserts were great, however the main course was under-whelming. The vegetables were over-cooked, and for a more `decent`restaurant, I would expect more. We were not wowed by the main course in any way. It looked like a mass produced type meal. I would recommend for drinks and appetizers on the lounge side however.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerinfinityOODined on 9/20/2014Celebrated my 40th birthday at the view. The view is beautiful especially during the sunset. Dinner amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- delighfulsazboxDined on 9/19/2014I have read a lot of negative reviews about this restaurant but cant understand why. The service was excellent, the food was wonderful, the views were spectacular and you cant even feel the room revolving (which some people have left negative reviews about). It was my birthday and we treated ourselves to this restaurant. It was lovely and the food was excellent. We didnt have a window table but we had a very good view anyway. When we had ordered our dessert the waited said that a window table was available if we wanted to finish our meal there which we did. To be honest, you really dont need to have a window table to enjoy the views. It was quite expensive but well worth it. They even gave me a birthday cake !Special Features:
- laetitiaDined on 9/19/2014A good restaurant but a little bit expensive. They propose a menu with different dishes but it s with only one price.Special Features:
- ViewOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014At this restaurant you pay for the view. The food is fine but absolutely not worth the pricerange which is Michellin Style. The view though is absolutely amazing and worth every penny.Special Features:
- Outstanding eveningjszabDined on 9/19/2014Food, service and view were spectacular. Would definitely go back again next time we visit New York.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Most Enjoyable ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/18/2014We made a reservation at The View for dinner before the theater. Our play started uncharacteristically early, at 7 PM. We did not realize that The View only served a three-course fixed price dinner. Worried that we would not be able to eat dinner and arrive at the theater on time, we explained our situation to the server and she miraculously orchestrated the serving of the three courses in a prompt manner, but not hurrying us while doing it. The food was fabulous and we only wished that we had had more time to linger over the meal.Special Features:
- Good view, poor food2norwegiansDined on 9/17/2014We ate a three course meal, and all the food tasted like something being heated from a jar/ tin, or being prepared at least a day ahead. The view from our table was great, so it was not all bad. Expensive!Special Features:
- Perfect for special occassionsJashimDined on 9/17/2014I celebrated my engagement by having dinner with my fiancee here. I loved the view and ambiance. It was super romantic and we loved the dishes. There were a few things that irked me. They state that each sitting is usually 2 hours long. I didn't understand why that was, and then when I got there, I realized...everything took much longer than normal. Most notably, 10 minutes after we were seated we were offered water and then some time after that we were provided a menu. Waiter said he would do something "special" for dessert, when it was just something routine for them; we were given what I felt was standard dessert instead of offered options or the ability to choose our own. Overall great food and great for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- only expensive & unfriendly!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014I would never ever visit this restaurant! The view was perfect but the food wasn't tasty at all... I would have prefered eating at McDonald's! The waiter were unfriendly .. I can't even explain something like this!! And of course: dip was included. I am still angry getting auch poor service for that amount of money!!
- Thank youTheGreatSurpriseDined on 9/17/2014My sisters and I had booked a table at The View, after having been there ourself, as a surprise for our parents 33th. anniversary, and their first time in New York. The feed-back we got from your parents was amazing! The food and wine had been great, the waiter had been sweet and very talkative. But best of all they got a cake with: happy anniversary written on it. This cake was not ordered by my sister and I, so we were VERY happy, that the view did this for our parents!! Thank you very much! :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Dems, Obama, distant heading into 2014By LAURIE KELLMAN
THE Associated Press | November 29,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., right, participates in a mock swearing-in ceremony with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, earlier this year in Washington. Cloistered in a tense, private Capitol Hill meeting for House Democrats this month, Eshoo had some advice for the aides to President Barack Obama: Stop setting red lines that might be broken.WASHINGTON A month after emerging from a government shutdown at the top of their game, many Democrats in Congress newly worried about the partys re-election prospects are for the first time distancing themselves from President Barack Obama after the disastrous rollout of his health care overhaul. At issue, said several Obama allies, is a loss of trust in the president after only 106,000 people instead of an anticipated half million were able to buy insurance coverage the first month of the new Obamacare websites. In addition, some 4.2 million Americans received notices from insurers that policies Obama had promised they could keep were being canceled.
Folks are now, I think in talking to members, more cautious with regard to dealing with the president, said Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the senior Democrat on the House Oversight Committee and one of the first leaders in his state to endorse Obamas presidential candidacy six year ago.
Cummings, the White Houses biggest defender in a Republican-controlled committee whose agenda is waging war against the administration over Benghazi, the IRS scandal, a gun-tracking operation and now health care, said he still thinks Obama is operating with integrity. But he noted that not all his Democratic colleagues agree.
They want to make sure that everything possible is being done to, number one, be transparent, (two) fix this website situation and, three, to restore trust, Cummings said.
Rep. William Lacey Clay, D-Mo., like Cummings, a prominent member of the Congressional Black Caucus who personally likes Obama, struggled to describe the state of play between congressional Democrats and the president.
I am trying to think if you can call it a relationship at this point, he said.
Clay said the administration is now obligated to fix it, fix all of it after Obama apologized this month for both the insurance website problems and his earlier promises that people could keep their old polices. Otherwise, he said, a wide brush will be used to paint us all as incompetent and ineffective.
Obama is now allowing insurance companies to reissue their canceled policies for another year. But Obamacares problems have left Democrats vulnerable to an orchestrated assault by Republicans who six weeks ago were on the losing end of the government shutdown.
The political body language tells the story of the strain. Thirty-nine House Democrats in Obamas party defied the presidents veto threat and voted for a GOP-sponsored bill to permit the sale of individual health coverage that falls short of requirements in the law.
I think people want to have a little more transparency going forward with whoever is implementing the website and other elements, said Jeff Link, senior adviser to Iowa Rep. Bruce Braley, who is running for Senate and voted for both the original health care law and the GOP-sponsored House bill this month. If demanding that kind of transparency means lack of trust, he added delicately, then I think people probably would like to have had more transparency.
Across the Capitol, several swing-state Senate Democrats have signed onto legislation to further weaken the health care law. Sponsored by Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, whos facing a tough re-election challenge, the bill would require insurance companies to permanently continue selling policies that the law deems substandard. Landrieu herself skipped an event with Obama earlier this month when he appeared at the Port of New Orleans. She said she had a long-standing engagement elsewhere in the state, which Obama lost last year by 17 points.
Repairing the relationship between Obama and his allies may be as complex as fixing the website and health care law. Much rests on rebuilding trust with the public, a solid majority of which now opposes Obamacare, according to multiple polls. Both parties will be watching Saturday to see whether the vast majority of those who try to sign up for policies on the website will succeed, as Obama has promised. Democrats have urged the administration to quit setting red lines like the Nov. 30 deadline, that carry the risk of being broken.
Nearly a year from the midterm election, Republicans in both chambers are launching a drive to link virtually every congressional Democrat to Obamacare. In the House, the effort, based around dozens of votes to repeal the law, is about denying Democrats the 17-seat gain they would need to win back the majority. In the Senate, its about gaining the six seats Republicans need to take control of that chamber.
So youre running on Obamacare, read a faux tip sheet from House Republicans to House Democrats that went out over the holiday week. The best thing to do, it advises Democratic lawmakers in 28 districts, is step in front of the cameras and explain to voters why government should run their health care.
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, showed notable discipline last week when they complained loudly about the Democrats new limits on filibusters then pivoted in as little as one sentence back to Obamacare.
The filibuster limits, said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, can be chalked up to broken promises, double standards and raw power the same playbook that got us Obamacare.
Democratic leaders scoff at the notion that missed deadlines and other problems could threaten the partys prospects 11 months down the road. A similar budget-and-debt fight that sparked the shutdown and smacked Republicans last month looms early next year, they point out. There is time, they insist, for the law to begin working as intended and to help elevate the Democrats political prospects.
Yesterdays battles and todays battles and tomorrows battles create different environments, said House Democratic campaign chief Steve Israel, D-N.Y. Independent voters, the keys to elections in the most competitive districts in the country, are pragmatic, he added. They want the Affordable Care Act not to be repealed, but to be fixed. They dont want to go back, they want to go forward.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"

I'm teaching a First Year Seminar this fall on cultural property and just found another article for them to read. A regional museum in England sells an Egyptian statue to pay for building a new wing – and everyone is getting up in arms.
I'm especially amused by the Egyptian ambassador's fulminations. I've BEEN to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo – it's a museological disaster. And, though there are plenty of packing crates just sitting around in the public areas, they have works in storage, too.

Martha Bernays
|This article uses bare URLs for citations, which may be threatened by link rot. (July 2014)
Martha Bernays (26 July 1861, in Hamburg – 2 November 1951, in London) was the wife of Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
Bernays was the second daughter of Emmeline and Berman Bernays. Her paternal grandfather Isaac Bernays was a Chief Rabbi of Hamburg. Sigmund Freud and Bernays met in April 1882 and after a four year engagement (1882–1886) they got married on 14 September 1886 in Hamburg.[1]
Freud and Bernays's love letters sent during the engagement years, according to Freud's official biographer Ernest Jones, who read all the letters, "would be a not unworthy contribution to the great love literature of the world." Freud and Bernays had six children: Mathilde (b. 1887), Jean-Martin (b. 1889), Oliver (b. 1891), Ernst (b. 1892), Sophie (b. 1893), and Anna (b. 1895). Bernays's younger sister, Minna Bernays, is known to be one of Sigmund's friends – it has also been speculated that she was Freud's mistress. This claim was controversial at first but the publication of a hotel log has prompted some Freud scholars, including his defender Peter Gay, to regard the conjecture of Freud and Minna having an affair as probably accurate.[2][3]

We will collect all of the images posted throughout the Fall Season and have two random drawings. And you know that means?
Two fall contests means twice the fun! We'll draw once for all entries from September 7–October 20, 2012 and again for all entries from October 21–December 2, 2012.
Our Fantastic Prize Package Includes:
• 2 tickets to a San Francisco Opera mainstage performance
• 2 complimentary glasses of champagne at intermission
• A $100 gift certificate to Maestro Restaurant
Don't worry if you aren't the most tech-savvy person on the block, we'll walk you through it each step of the way. For more information, instructions on how to post photos on our Facebook page or how to tag @SFOpera on Twitter, and for contest rules, visit sfopera.com/photocorner.
Still not sure if you want to do it? Check out these photos of some of our wonderful patrons who entered our summer 'Snap and Post to Win' contest. We'll see you at the Photo Corner!
