14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
14. An servus Israel? An (vel, si) genitus domi? (hoc est, an verna? accipiunt enim puerum, domi natum pro verna:) quare factus est in praedam?
15. The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
15. Super eum rugient (vel, rugiunt) leones (alii vertunt, catulos leonum, et soepe significat minores leones hoc nomen sed ubi adjungitur reliquis, ubi autem solum ponitur, ego semper interpretor generaliter pro leonibus,) miserunt vocem suam; posuerunt terram ejus in vastitatem; urbes ejus exustae sunt (vel, destructae, nam, צצץ tandem valet atque hoc loco) absque habitatore.
16. Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
16. Etiam filii Noph (hoc est, Mempheos, vocant enim Hebroei Noph urbem quae fuit olim metropolis Egypti) et Thaphanes (vel, Thaphis, ut vertunt Grraeci) frangent tibi verticem.
17. Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
17. An non hoc fuit tibi, deserere tuum, (hoc est, quod deserueris) Jehovam Deum tuum, quo tempore ducebat to per viam.
These verses are to be read together; for the Prophet first shews that Israel was not as to his original condition miserable, but that this happened through a new cause, and then he mentions the cause. He then first asks, whether Israel was a servant or a slave? God had adopted them as his people, and had promised to be so bountiful to them as to render them in every way happy; and what was more, as a proof of their happiness, he said, In thee shall all nations be blessed. (Genesis 12:3; Genesis 22:18; Genesis 26:4; Genesis 28:14.) We then see what was the original condition of Israel; they excelled all other nations, because they were God's peculiar people, they were his heritage, they were a royal priesthood.
Hence the Prophet, as though astonished at something new and strange, asks this question, Is Israel a servant? He was free beyond all nations; for he was the first — born son of God: it was therefore necessary to inquire for the cause why he was so miserable; for he says afterwards, that lions roared against him, and sent forth their voice; he says, that their cities were burnt, or destroyed; he says, that their land was reduced to desolation; and at length he adds, Has not this done these things to thee? This again is put as a question, but it is doubly affirmative, for it takes away every doubt: "What do you say is the cause why you are so miserable? for all are hostile to you, and you are exposed to the wrongs of all: whence can you say has all this proceeded, except from your own wickedness?" We now see what the Prophet means.
But that what he says may be more clear, we must remember that he reminds the people, by way of reproach, of the benefits
which God had conferred on them. As then the children of Abraham had been honored with so many singular favors that they had
the preeminence over all the world, this dignity is now referred to, but only for the purpose of exposing their base conduct,
as though he had said, "God did not deceive you, when
he promised to be bountiful to you; his adoption is not deceptive nor in vain: hence you would have been happier than
all other nations, had not your own wickedness rendered you miserable." We now see for what end the Prophet asked, Is Israel a servant or a slave? They were indeed on an equality with other people, as they were by nature; but as they had been chosen by God, and as
he had favored them with that peculiar privilege, the Prophet asks, whether they were servants, as though he had said,
"What is it that prevents that blessedness to appear among you, which God has promised? for it was not God's design to disappoint
you: it then follows that you are miserable through your own fault."
The difficulty of understanding this passage has arisen from not considering the questions in a negative sense, as implying
a strong denial-"Is Israel a servant (or, rather a slave)?" No, by no means. "Is he one begotten in the house," that is, in
a state of bondage? No, by no means. Then the following question comes naturally; since he is neither a purchased slave, nor
a slave born in the house, "why has he become a prey?" That there were two
sorts of slaves of this kind is evident from many parts of Scripture. See Genesis 17:12, Genesis 17:23, Genesis 17:27; Exodus 21:4;
Leviticus 22: 11. This is the view taken evidently in our version, by Jun and Trem., Piscator, Gataker, Grotius, Henry, and Scott.
Blarney renders the two first lines thus, —
Is Israel a slave? or if a child of the household, Wherefore is he exposed to spoil?
He considers "the child of the household" to be the son and the heir, as Isaac was, and refers to Galatians 4:7. Horsley coincides with him. But the usus loquendi gives no countenance to this view, while it confirms the other. To refer to filiusfamilias in Latin is to no purpose. "The child of the house," as the expression literally is, and similar phrases, ever mean in Scripture those who were born slaves in a family. — Ed.
And by saying, Why is he become a prey, he intimates that except Israel had been deprived of God's protection, they would not have been thus exposed to the caprice of their enemies. They were not then become a prey except for this reason, because God had forsaken them, according to what is said in the song of Moses,
"How should one chase a thousand, and ten should put to flight as many thousands, except God had given us up as captives,
except we had been shut up by his hand."
(Deuteronomy 32:30.)
For Moses in that passage does also in an indirect manner remind the people how often and how wonderfully God had given them victories over their enemies, and thus he leaves it to their posterity, when in distress, to consider how the change came that one should chase a thousand; that is, how could it be, that they, possessing great forces, should yet be put to flight by their enemies; for they were not wont to turn their backs, but to conquer their enemies: it then follows, that they were made captives by God, and not by the men who chased them. So also here the Prophet shews, that Israel would not have been made a prey, had they not been deprived of God's assistance.
He afterwards adds, Over him roar the lions. The Prophet seems not simply to compare the enemies of Israel to lions on account of their cruelty, but also by way of contempt, as though he had said, that Israel found that not only men were incensed against them, but also wild beasts: and it is more degrading when God permits us to be torn by the beasts of the field. It is then the same, as though he had said, that Israel were so miserably treated, that they were not only slain by the hands of enemies, but were also exposed to the beasts of prey. And then he adds, they have sent forth their voice; which is the same as to say, that Israel, whom God was wont to protect by his powerful band, were become the food of wild beasts, and that lions, as it were in troops, were roaring against them.
He then adds, without a metaphor, that his land was laid waste, and his cities burnt without an inhabitant This language cannot be suitably applied to lions or to any
other wild beasts; but what he had figuratively said before, he now explains in a plain manner, and says, that the land
was desolate, that the cities were cut off or burnt up. Now this, as we have said, could not have been the case, had not Israel
departed from God, and had been on this account deprived of his help.
The verse literally is as follows,-
Over him shall young lions roar;
They have uttered their voice,
And have made his land a waste;
His cities are grown over with grass,
Without an inhabitant.
The verb in the first line is future, the other verbs are in the past tense; and Blarney thinks that they are so put to denote the certainty of what is said, as it is often done by the prophets: and this is rendered probable by what is contained in Jeremiah 4:7, where the same judgment is spoken of. The verb נצתה, in the received text, ought evidently to be נצתו, according to the Keri and twenty MSS.; and so we find it in Jeremiah 9:10. Our version and Calvin give it the idea of "burning;" but according to Leigh and Parkhurst, its meaning is, to shoot forth, to produce grass, or to grow over with grass, as the case is with ruined cities; and the words connected with it here and in other places seem to favor this meaning. It is rendered in our version, "laid waste," in Jeremiah 4:7, and "desolate" in Jeremiah 46:19. — Ed
By way of amplification he adds, Also the sons of Noph and of Tephanes shall for thee break the head, or, the crown of the head. We shall hereafter see that the Israelites were wont to seek help from the Egyptians. The particle
גם, gam, may be thus explained, "Not only those who have been hitherto professed enemies to thee, but even thy friends, in whose
help thou didst confide, shall turn their power against thee and break for thee thy head." Some think that their degradation
is here enhanced, because the Egyptians were an unwarlike people; and ancient historians say that
men there followed the occupations of women; but as this is not mentioned in Scripture, and as the Egyptians are not thus
spoken of in it, I prefer to follow the usual explanation, that the Egyptians, though confederate with Israel, would yet be
adverse to them, and had been so already. By the head, some understand the chief men among the people of Israel: but we may render it
thus, they will break for thee the head, as we say in our language, Ils to romperont la tete, or, Ils to frotteront la tete; and this, in my judgment, is the real meaning.
There have been many expositions of this latter clause, which may be seen in the Assembly's Annotations, which were written,
as to Isaiah and Jeremiah, by the learned Gataker. He gives the preference to the idea, that the crown of the head means the best and the principal part of the land, and to
break the crown means the plunder of this portion. See Isaiah
28:4. This seems to correspond in meaning with the previous verse. It was the opinion of Blarney that an allusion is prophetically made to the slaying of Josiah by the Egyptians. The words literally are, —
They shall break thee, the crown of the head.
"The crown of the head" seems to be explanatory of "thee;" it might then be rendered, —
They shall break thee, even the crown of thy head.
The Septuagint mistook one letter for another, and took the verb to be, ידעוך, "they knew thee," instead of ירעוך "they shall break thee;" but what they made the last word to be, it is hard to know, for they rendered it, "and searched thee." The Vulgate has followed the Septuagint; and the idea is a very indecent one: and there is nothing in the context to favor it. The Targum's paraphrase is this, "They shall slay thy brave men, and plunder thy riches;" which countenances the idea evidently conveyed by the figurative terms of the Hebrew.
The next verse literally rendered is as follows, —
Is not this what thou wilt do for thyself,
By thy forsaking of Jehovah thy God,
At the time he was leading thee in the way?
The first verb is no doubt future, whether it be rendered in the second or third person. The sentence may be rendered in Welsh without "Is," or the relative "what," and word for word, —
Ai nid hyn a wnai i'th hun?
And the future is understood as the present. Blayney's version is, —
Shall not this be done unto thee,
Because thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God,
At the time that he led thee in the way?
— Ed.
Now follows the cause; the Prophet, after having shewn that Israel were forsaken by God, now mentions the reason why it so happened, Has not this done it for thee? Some read in the second person, "Hast thou not done this for thee?" but the meaning is still nearly the same. More probable, however, is the rendering which others have given, "Has not this happened to thee, because thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God?" Jeremiah, in short, teaches us that the cause of all the evils was the defection of the people, as though he had said, "Thou hast concocted for thyself all this evil; then must thou swallow it, and know that the blame cannot be cast on God; for he would have been faithful to thee, except thine impiety had prevented him. God has not, indeed, chosen thee in vain, nor has he in vain preferred thee to other nations; but thou hast rejected his kindness. Thy condition then would have never been as it is, hadst thou not procured thine own ruin." How so? "Because thou hast departed from thy God."
And he further exaggerates this sin by saying, At the time when he led thee in the way To lead in the way, is rightly to govern, so as to make people happy. The Prophet then shews, that the people's perfidy and defection were without excuse in rejecting the worship of their God, for they were happy during the time they served him. Had they been in various ways tempted, or tried, they might have reigned some pretense. "We thought ourselves deceived in hoping in the true God, for he concealed his favor from us; we were therefore compelled by necessity. There ought at least some indulgence to be shewn to our levity; for we could have formed no other conjecture but that God had removed far from us." The Prophet meets this objection, as he does in the fifth verse, "What iniquity have your fathers found in me?" and, as it is done in another place,
"My people, what have I done to thee, or in what have I been troublesome to thee?"
(Micah 6:4)
for God in that passage shews that he was prepared to defend his own cause, and to clear himself from whatever the people might object to him. So also he does in this place, "I have led thee," he says, "in the way;" that is, "Thou didst live happily under my government, and yet I could not retain thee by my goodness while I kindly treated thee; and thou knewest that nothing could be better for thee than to continue under my protection; but thou hast determined to go over into the service of idols. Now what excuse hast thou, or what pretense is left thee?" We hence see, that the sin of the people is greatly enhanced, for they were induced by no temptation or trial to forsake God, but through mere perfidy gave themselves up to idols: and a confirmation of this verse follows —

Jamie Elle gets d.p.'d by Kris Knight and Joe Friday and seems to enjoy it, but nothing really ignites. Tory Lane, always hot, is matched with Nick Manning on a slow wood day. It takes a while for their scene to get going.

Here's my environment: Lenovo W520, Win 7 Pro 64-bit (SP1) 20Gb memory connected to external keyboard, trackball and monitor through a KVM switch (various other machines/monitors on the KVM).
Here's the issue: all the power settings and screen saver values are set to never sleep or hibernate with maximum cooling, performance, etc. Yet when I switch to another machine, sometimes, but not always, after about two minutes, the W520 goes to sleep. There have been times when I start to see the screen dim and tap on the laptop's keyboard to try and stop the process, and I get no response.
While the most annoying occurrence happens when I am using another machine, I intermittently see the same behavior (when I have the W520 selected), but leave the keyboard and trackball idle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tucker Carlson Reminds Us That Being a Woman Isn't All Good
Fox News host Tucker Carlson is clearly sleepy after a long week of work because his troll takes are even more trollish than usual.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson is clearly sleepy after a long week of work because his troll takes are even more trollish than usual.
Welcome to the first installment of DUDEFIGHTS, a new feature that may or may not be recurring that highlights men fighting with each other and me just sitting back and enjoying the action.
Buckley Carlson—obvious brother to honest and ethical Daily Caller founder Tucker Carlson—said Bill de Blasio's spokesperson had "dick fright" in an email that made the rounds today. Wise older brother Buckface accidentally sent the email straight to the inbox of de Blasio's spokesperson, Amy Spitalnick.
Fox News host Martha MacCallum, speaking on behalf of all women, said on her show that women actually don't want the government to create policies that ensure equal pay for equal work because women are already earning "exactly what they're worth."
The Pentagon officially lifted the ban on women in combat on Wednesday. And the entire world applauded this historic move towards equality. Wait, no. That's not what happened at all. Rather, wingnuts and supposedly "moderate" conservatives came out of the woodwork in droves to slam the decision, which was merely a …
Last night, Stephen Colbert took on textbooks after being tipped off by Tucker "The Tool" Carlson that the educational materials are being revised to be more gender-neutral. Carlson, you see, feels marginalized, but Colbert has some suggestions!
Well-known tool Tucker Carlson is really upset that doctors who perform abortions are charging for their services! He calls it "enriching" themselves. I call it being hypocritical and disingenuous, like most of the right-wing on this issue.
It's hard out there for a conservative Christian who likes sex. Between Ed Young, Tucker Carlson and Dennis Prager advocating that women just submit, it's hard to get taken seriously as a pro-sex Christian.

Vt. town's road signs stolenMay 13,2013THETFORD Officials in a small Vermont town say more than half the towns road signs have been stolen over the past few months.
Thetford Public Works Director Scott Knowlton said 50 of the towns aluminum signs identifying the names of roads have been pilfered, possibly for to sell as scrap metal, but none of the towns traffic signs have been stolen.
The Valley News reported that the town on Thursday ordered 27 replacement signs from the states prison system, where inmates produce them, and expects to order more in the coming weeks.
Police Chief Jim Lanctot said the thefts could potentially cause problems for emergency response vehicles responding to calls and for out-of-towners who arent familiar with the town.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

On a related side note, there's one spelling mistake in a docstring somewhere which misspells separate as "seperate".
I can't be bothered opening a ticket for something that negligible, but feel free to fix it as part of this one ;)

I'm going to leave this one until after 0.96 (which will be "real soon now"), just to avoid any confusion with the renaming change (I realise this is backwards compatible; good thinking there).

Comments about 'Expert: Pennsylvania pastor deserves rebuke for gay wedding'

"Boger acknowledged that his mother — the church's choir director
for more than 40 years — and Schaefer had a falling out in the months
leading up to the complaint. "
It's sad that a petty personal dispute led to the problems for this pastor. OTOH, it's not an altogether bad thing for these church trials to receive publicity. It's good to keep these issues in the public eye, much as cases of civil disobedience did in the 50s and 60s.
I'm also proud of our local Methodist pastor, Melvin Talbert, formerly the Bishop for Northern California. He has also performed at least one gay marriage.
Talbert has said: "Weddings are going on all the time, all across the church, but it's privately done, and bishops are just looking the other way, and it's time for someone to say, 'Let's deal with the elephant in the room.' "
He also said: "I declare to you that the derogatory language and restrictive laws in the Book of Discipline are immoral and unjust and no longer deserve our loyalty and obedience."
More than 1000 Methodist ministers have signed on to Talbert's call to action.

Shouldn't the congregation be more concerned that the Pastor was so willing
to go against church doctrine? If they keep him, then they are saying that they
too do not believe in the doctrines that their church is teaching. The minister
knew that what he was doing was wrong and that he could lose his job.
Imagine if he had robbed a bank and used the money for a food drive. Would you still have the same compassion for somebody who broke with church doctrine but did it with good intentions?

In 19th century, Methodist church split because northern churches were anti-slavery but the southern churches were pro-slavery. Fortunately, they came to consensus on slavery and re-united in 20th century. I don't know if history will repeat itself on this issue too.

@RedShirt --
"Shouldn't the congregation be more concerned that the Pastor was so willing to go against church doctrine?"
You're missing a couple of important facts here.
First, as pointed out in the revised article, the minister told his superiors that he was going to perform this service before it occurred. He gave them advance notice -- yet nobody saw fit to bring it up for nearly SIX YEARS after the fact. Obviously, the Church hierarchy wasn't all that upset about it.
Second, as I pointed out in my first post, many other Methodist ministers have also performed gay wedding ceremonies. In fact, they have been doing so for years. This isn't some unique incident by some fringe extremist pastor.
Third, as I also pointed out, more than 1000 Methodist ministers have signed on to Bishop Talbert's call to action. Many many Methodists SUPPORT gay marriage.
There is already a huge rift in the Methodist community. Yup, this guy is guilty of civil disobedience -- but that's not always a bad thing.

Sorry, but he knew what he was doing was against the church's rules, but that doesn't make it "wrong". He also knew that it was the RIGHT thing to do; treat others kindly, the way he would like to be treated (not to mention that it was also the right thing to do for his family).

"it was not a personnel dispute with a choir director that got him in trouble, it was breaking the church's discipline."
Read that article again.
First, the pastor TOLD the church what he was going to do -- and no consequences were forthcoming. Second, the church did not raise any objections for nearly SIX YEARS after the fact. Third, the pastor ONLY got into trouble after the son of a disgruntled church employee complained -- again, SIX YEARS after the fact.
The church was obviously happy to let the transgression lie. The employee's son was not.

To "Ranch" actually it does. If your employer has a rule that says you
can only wear company logo shirts, but on a particular day you know that you
will be getting dirty at work so you wear a non-logo shirt so that you
don't get your work shirt dirty. You have broken the rules, that makes it
a wrong. Yes you did the right thing, but did not act in accordance with the
rules. Breaking the rules is wrong, it doesn't matter if you agree with
the rules or not.
Are you sure it was the right thing to do for his family? Just so that he can make one child feel accepted, he has now possibly lost his job. Being a minister who lost his job going against his church's doctrine will make it hard to get a new parish. What can he do to earn money? How much suffering will his family go through now so that one child can feel accepted?
Why couldn' his son have told his father to stay within the church rules?

Why couldn't the church realize that family love is more important than stupid rules that can hurt family members? Perhaps the father also wants to perform the marriages of his other 3 children (including the 2 gay ones). If his church removes him from his post he can always get licensed to perform marriages through the state; he doesn't need a church that would rather practice bigotry in order to love his family enough to do the right thing; even if it means he loses his job.

So here is a case that reveals the hypocrisy of the tightly righties. On the one
hand, in the name of religious freedom, they insist that nurses should not have
to perform procedures with which they disagree for religious reasons. And they
insist that fast food companies should not have to provide medical benefits to
employees if the owners have religious objections to the law. But now when an
individual pastor has deeply held religious beliefs, he is not likewise allowed
to exercise his religious freedom by going against a church's policies and

"But Peter and the apostles answered, 'We must obey God rather than men.'" (Acts 5:29)
While it is true that God's edicts trump the rules of men, it is also true that the Bible is very clear on the issue of homosexual marriage. Jesus himself positively taught that marriage was between one man and one woman. Paul is explicitly clear on the matter (Rom 1:26-27; 1 Cor 6:9; 1 Timothy 1:10). This pastor can argue that the UMC's rules are wrong, but he can't do it on the basis of the Bible.
The UMC currently has about 34,000 congregations, presumably each with more than one pastor on average, so I'm not sure why 1000 pastors signing a document is that significant. It's also more unclear why numbers would legitimatize a cause.

To "Coontrariusester" you are getting rules and tradition mixed up.
Avoiding touching a leper was a tradition, not a rule.
As Jesus explains in the Bible, and the Priests and Scribes agreed, the work he did on the Sabbath was righteous and acceptable.
Jesus forgiving sins was actually in accordance with prophecy and scripture. See Exodus 34: 6-7. Since Jesus is the Jehova from the OT, he is not doing anything wrong.
Paul didn't get away from by martyrdom of Stephen.
Washing hands after eating with Gentiles was a tradition, not a rule. See Mark 7:8
He didn't "throw out" all of the rules. One of the rules was that when Jesus came, he would end the old rules and give new rules.
Nice try. Next time, read the scriptures.

Arts Found In Translation
The reason why the Penguin edition of Andre Gide's nouvelle La Symphonie Pastoral is great is because of Dorothy Bussy, the translator. I have read this version more times than the years I have lived, and can read good chunks of the French original not because I understand a lick of that language but because I'm so familiar with passages like this:
"She [blind Gertrude] told me later that when she heard birds' song she used to suppose it was simply the effect of light, like the gentle warmth which she felt on her cheeks and hands, and that, without precisely thinking about it, it seemed to her quite natural warm air should begin to sing…"
and this:
"I took Gertrude with me through the forest to that fold in Jura where in the clear weather one can see through a curtain of branches and across an immense stretch of land at one's feet, the wonder of the snowy Alps emerging from a thin veil of mist, The sun was already declining on the left when we reached our customary seat. A meadow of thick, closely cropped grass sloped downwards at our feet. Further off, a few cows were grazing; each of them among these mountain herds wears a bell at its neck."and this, the prime passage of the nouvelle:
"[While listening to the Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony] asked [blind Gertrude] to imagine the colors of nature in the same way—the reds and oranges analogous to the sounds of the horns and trombones; the yellows and greens like those of the violins, cellos, and double basses; the violets and blues suggested by clarinets and oboes. A sort of inner rapture now took the place of her doubts and uncertainties. 'How beautiful it must be!' she kept repeating."
The only value nature (trees, wild animals, mountains) has for me is a literary one. I'm happy never to see another forest in my life, but life without access to pastoral literature like La Symphonie Pastoral would be unbearable. But that is not the point I want to make in this post. I want to point out, instead, that the translator of the Penguin version, Bussy (1886—1960), was a lesbian (and a major influence on Eleanor Roosevelt, her pupil at Souvestre). Which explains why the natural beauty of Gertrude, the orphan adopted by the narrator of the story, a country priest, is convincing. In the way that Bussy could not openly express her form of love in real life, the fictional priest, who is married, cannot openly love Gertrude; in place of actual love—actual desire, actual lust—he uses the codes of Christian love. The distance enhances Gertrude's beauty, which conditions the beauty of the rural town, the priest's home, and the seasons the gently arrive and depart. "I had not seen [the house] for fifteen years," writes the country priest about the moment he first met the young woman who will unsettle his position with his family and God, "for none of my duties take me that way; I could not have said where it lay and it had so entirely dropped out of my mind that when I suddenly recognized it in the golden enchantment of the rose-fleck evening sky, I felt as though I had only seen it before in a dream."
You can find this edition of La Symphonie Pastoral in most secondhand bookstores.

Sex-Assault Victims Rejected for Disability to Get Review
Military personnel who were the victims of sexual assault can seek disability pay for the psychiatric trauma even if they didn't officially report the incident, a U.S. appeals court ruled today.
The decision orders the Department of Veterans Affairs to review the rejected disability requests of two women who said they suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after being assaulted. While acknowledging most victims never report attacks, the agency denied the women disability pay because there was no military record of the assaults supporting the psychiatric diagnoses.
The Department of Defense estimates that fewer than 15 percent of sexual assaults were reported to a military authority between 2006 and 2012. In May, the department estimated 26,000 military men and women may have experienced unwanted sexual contact last year, compared with 2,949 victims identified in criminal reports.
"The Secretary expects that many assaults will not have been reported to authorities, for reasons unrelated to the merits of the claim," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington ruled in a 2-1 decision today. "Penalizing assault victims for that failure would hardly comport with a system in which 'the importance of systemic fairness and the appearance of fairness carry great weight.'"
In the military, even more than in civilian life, victims are dissuaded from reporting attacks because it often involves telling someone who is professionally associated with the assailant, Circuit Judge Timothy Dyk wrote. As a result, he said, the absence of a report is irrelevant.
Suicide Attempt
One woman said she was beaten and impregnated by a sergeant who was her superior in the 1970s, while the other woman attempted suicide after a sexual assault during her military training in the 1980s. In both incidents, the women told family members and co-workers.
The court ordered the cases to be reviewed again to determine if the women are entitled to disability pay.
"This is a major, major decision," said Kenneth Carpenter, a lawyer in Topeka, Kansas, who argued on behalf of one of the women. "Anyone who is the victim of any kind of assault or battery is at the mercy of the fact that the reality of military service is 'don't ask don't tell.'"
Legislation Considered
Congress is considering legislation that would make it easier for victims of sexual assault to qualify for disability benefits. The Federal Circuit ruling relates to current regulations, Carpenter said.
Allison Price, a Justice Department spokeswoman, said the government had no comment on the decision.
Circuit Judge Kimberly Moore, the only woman on the three-judge panel, said the lack of a report should be considered in determining whether to compensate the women. It is up to Congress to change that, she said.
"It may well be that a low incidence of reporting would result in little weight being given to the non-reporting, but it doesn't render that evidence irrelevant," Moore wrote. "Solicitude for veterans does not justify making up rules as we go along."
The cases are AZ v. Shinseki, 2012-7046 and AY v. Shinseki, 2012-7048, both U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Washington).

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
(suggested by sgt rawk)
Why read those three books when you can read the Roy Thomas-penned Marvel Illustrated versions? Eh?
Anyway, those aren't the three books required to conquer the world. The following three, however, would do just nicely:
1. If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor, by Bruce Campbell
2. The Dilbert Future, by Scott Adams
3. There's a Monster at the End of This Book, by Grover
Do you dare wield the STAGGERING POWER!?
(If you only want to conquer part of the world, however, you can substitute in The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman, Superfudge by Judy Blume and Everybody Poops by someone who poops.)
I think that comic was a conspiracy to get children to read true literature. "Hey! I read all three books, and none told me how to conquer the world! I was robbed!"
"Too late kid, you're educated now. Mwa-ha-ha!!"
"Stories to Stagger the Imagination" . . . Hey, my imagination is staggered by this cover!!!
The Comics are Awesome blog is awesome.
Sheer Awesomeness!
my son loves "There's a Monster at the End of this Book". I read it to him all the time. lol.
I've read 5 out of 6 of those books you listed, Brad, and I wouldn't know where to begin conquering the world.
Clearly, the secret is somewhere within "Everybody Poops."
Erg. Meant Bill, honest I did.
I think it's sort of amusing that that gorilla needs a gun to get what he wants out of people.
You would think if he just filled out the paperwork for a library card he could get all 3 books without the need to threaten anyone.
yes! all i need to do is read moby dick and i will be the greatest criminal mind of our time!
Nah, the secret's definitely in "If Chins Could Kill…"
After all Bruce Campbell does rule the world…
Gorilla's threatening librarians with guns are okay, I guess, but I was on the fence until I saw that the comic had "Language Master of Space!" Now, I must read it.
If you're any kind of man at all, Hodgman's list of Nine President's who had Hooks for Hands alone should be enough information to set you on the path to world domination, or at least domination of one of the lesser hemispheres.
Could make sense but check this exciting comic out!!
Sweet! I've read all 6 of those books!
We need more gorillas with handguns threatening librarians on the covers of comics! Especially when a gorilla reading leads to that gorilla dominating the world.
When is DC gonna reprint this?
you want cool?
three words.
six. gun. gorilla.
lay back and bathe in some grain alcohol and rain water with a copy of six gun gorilla.
And may I say, what a hot librarian. Thanks, Bill, thanks, everyone. PS – this is not the first version of this cover but let's hear it for the great Nick Cardy!
I'm very curious as to how those three books are supposed to let him conquer the world. Anyone actually own this issue?
umm, its a library. the books are free. why the gun? get a library card.
I say why not a gun? He's a gorilla and doesn't play by your "human" rules. Just give him the damn books so he can conquer the world, and then everyone will be happy.
@ Dalarsco – Oh, man. This tory is an six-pager from 1956 about an alien who looks EXACTLY like a human being who transforms himself into a gorilla in an effort to enslave the planet for his alien brothers, thinking (mistakenly) that gorillas were Earth's dominant life-form. The aliens have powerful telescopes that observe light "from 100 000 years ago" where a strange civilization of gorillas who all wear red shirts and green pants "completely dominates all life on the third planet and undoubtedly exists today!". The alien is transformed into a gorilla and sent to earth to "spy freely among the gorillas." He crash-lands the ship, because "it's tricky to slow down and land at this tremendous speed!" Anyway, he finds out that "sometime during the last 100 000 years, the gorilla civilization died out!" The alien/gorilla gets himself captured by an elderly professor named Scott who's working on a ray that will transform gorillas into humans! And the ray works! The ape is human again! But the professor says, "Now to change him back" and changes him back to a gorilla and dismantles the machine. It's far too dangerous, this ray, so before he can turn over the plans to the Science Society, he hides the plans from his former lab assistant Hal Todd "whom he never trusted" and fired, wondering "if he's scheming to steal my plans for evil purposes?" He hides them in his nephew's library books, "so if Todd searches me, he won't find the plans on my person!" The professor walks in front of a truck and is killed. Who finds the body but … Hal Todd, who wonders "if he planned to use his discovery for evil purposes, as I half suspected at times!" A passer-by returns the books to the library. Hal Todd determines to find the plans and give them to The Science Society, whatever that is. The ape busts out of his cage and his "super-scientific mind traces the books to the library." He must get the plans, regain human form, finish his spy mission and repair his ship. Anyway, at the library, the gorilla asks the librarian, rather curtly, for the three books that were just returned. No gun is involved. The librarian has a priceless quote "At first I imagined that gorilla was talking to me — but it's his THOUGHTS I hear? How is such a fantastic thing possible?" *The artwork clearly shows a word balloon. Then again, the cover shows a gun and again, no gun is used. I repeat : there is no gun. A happy monkey escapes with the three books, just in time to meet Hal Todd again, driving back to the library. Were the professor's plans hidden inside those library books? He's got to find out! As he pulls up in front of the library, he witnesses the gorilla steal a car. "I can't wander around the city in this gorilla form — I'll be hunted down! Someone left that car motors running! I'll use it to get away!" Hal Todd witnesses this. He doesn't comment on the primate committing grand theft auto. "What's that … that GORILLA doing with Scott's books? I'd better follow him!" Meanwhile, "speeding outside the city, unfamiliar with earthly cars and roads, the man-ape meets disaster on a dangerous curve …" "L-Lost control!" thinks the monkey (thought balloon this time.) Hal Todd, sole eyewitness, scrambles down to the crash site, thinking grimly to himself "The gorilla and the plans … going up in flames! But … but where did that intelligent beast come from? What was he planning to do? The world will NEVER KNOW!" The End!

y'know, I've never been one for the library card myself. if only I had a gun I could finally find out if moby dick and ahab fell in love..
I love, love, love, love "There's A Monster At The End Of This Book." Second only to Dr. Seuss, it's probably the best book written in the English language. And, no, I'm not kidding in the least.

How to Fold a Fitted Sheet
Everybody knows how difficult it is to fold a fitted sheet without unsightly bunching at the corners. Martha Stewart offers simple steps to folding a fitted sheet into a perfect rectangle.
- Hold the sheet widthwise and point your index fingers into the corners of the sheet.
- Bring your fingertips together and match them exactly.
- Turn one of the sheet corners over the other.
- Put the sheet on a flat surface.
- Turn the corners on the bottom over.
- Fold the sheet into a rectangle.
- Continue to fold until the sheet is the size you want it to be.

Police dispersed an angry crowd of job-seekers outside an
employment office in Stockholm after it called 61,000 people
for a recruitment meeting by mistake.
"Something has gone wrong with the mailing list...it has set
off a very messy situation at the city office," said Clas
Olsson, acting director of the employment office.
An email call for a recruitment meeting that should have gone
out to about 1000 job-seekers went out to considerably more
people, about 61,000 - apparently all the registered job
seekers in Stockholm, police said.
Hundreds of people expecting to attend crowded into the alley
where the labour office is located and spilled into the
adjacent street, a main thoroughfare running through downtown
Emotions were running high and office staff sounded the
alarm, bringing police to the scene.
"When we got there it was very crowded and there were some
upset feelings," Police Inspector Ulf Lindgren told Reuters.
Olsson told the Aftonbladet newspaper he did not know if the
cauase was a human or technical error.
Sweden's total unemployment stood at 8.6 percent in January.

The Outfitter's tactic definitely worked.
What kind of feedback did the seller have or how many transactions? My wife sold a camera couple years ago and they wouldn't release the funds until the receiver received it and said everything was...
100 hrs a week? I don't see how you have time for anything.
Wonder how many yotes it takes to do that. Too much meat for a couple to consume that fast I would think. Looks like piranhas.
I don't see how their voice would have more standing than yours from a legal standpoint. I don't understand what their problem would be? They don't want folks driving to the end of their cul de sac?...
Isn't it a low simmer as opposed to boiling? I've always heard too hot would cause the skull to weaken and parts break off.
I like that. Never seen it before.
They switched from the rope to the strap a while back. Probably to make more money. Rope is definately faster and easier IMO.
I missed a Summit Viper by one call. Was posted 30 minutes. Guy was asking 65.00
I bought a Superwinch husky 10 winch for 200.00 once. Look up the price on those.
I have the Berber windshear jacket. I also own the extreme stand bibs and parka. I also have the HBS. I'm covered.
The extreme stand parka is bigger and much heavier than the Berber jacket. I...
As much publicity this generated I don't see the paper leaving out the name of an adult with picture. Didn't they have a 20k reward? I had heard the kid was a juvenile around 14 years old.
Gun and bow. I like bow better but like deer hunting with either. I've never killed a doe with a rifle and I'm more selective with a rifle but enjoy both.
Time to see a doctor. Could be tendinitis or could be a bone spur. The latter won't fix itself no matter how much time you take off.
I started off with Axis and have been shooting FMJs for the past 6 years. I like the heavier weight. I really like the FMJs. Never had any complaints on the Axis I just like FMJ better.
Good luck
I have the windshear Berber. What do you mean by material? It is just a soft material.
I don't know which is more foolish. The folks who believe they control everything or the folks who continue to try and convince them they don't.
Yeah, I'd be sick on that one. At least you didn't find him dead and now know he is still alive.
Depends, how much money do you generally carry?
Have you checked to make sure you don't have a bone spur?

Fast Norwegian: Opera Developers Complete Version 10
The final version of Opera 10 is available today. Among the important changes is Turbo mode.
he new Opera Turbo mode speeds up browser connections by displaying requested webpages with compressed graphics. Other improvements include a new design and better tab handling with thumbnails of open tabs. Opera's Speed Dial was super-sized to allow for 2x2 to 5x5 grids and customized background images. The email client also underwent some improvements. The full list is on the Opera homepage.
The Opera user interface might seem modern, but continues to be based on the Qt3 widget set. This means that the browser can be installed on older Linux distros.
The download takes a mere 10 MBytes and is available from the Opera start page. The Norwegians provide packages for many Linux distros.

More than 1,100 jobs are expected to be generated once the facility is fully operational. The announcement was made this afternoon at the prison by Gov. Pat Quinn, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Thomson Mayor Jerry "Duke" Hebeler, who initially proposed in 2009 that the prison be sold to the federal government as an economic boost to the area.

I passed my test last friday.
Nothing major. It's a 2 hour test. If you don't know what it is, LEED is a rating system for sustainable design of buildings by the US Green Building Council. I'm a mechanical engineer for an architectural/engineering firm.
I get to add "LEED AP" after my name on my business cards now.

Thanks everyone.
Let me see if I can explain it better. The USGBC developed this rating system for when you're designing/building a new building. There are a list of points you can earn. Earn enough and you're building is certified, silver certified, gold, platinum. Once the building is certified you go on their registry and get a plaque to hang in the building. It's a marketing thing for most building owners. Advertise it to get tenants. Green/Sustainable buildings are popular right now.
It addressed things like reduce water consumption by 20% and get a point. Reduce by 30% and get 2 points. Reduce energy consumption and earn 1 to 10 points depending on percent. Preserve 50% of your site with native vegitation and earn 1 point. Divert waste from landfills during construction by recycling and earn a point. Use recycled materials, reuse parts of the building, etc... earn points. There are 69 total points you can earn plus you can apply for a few additional innovation points that are beyond their scope.
Honestly... it's a load of crap. I got certified to make myself more marketable. I don't like the system because you earn 1 point by spending $2500 on a bike rack and shower to promote not driving. You earn the same 1 point by building on a brownfield site which could be thousands or millions of $$$'s to clean up. They're supposed to address that in the next version of the system set to be released this year.
Sounds pretty interesting. Grats!

If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
I work in the commercial furniture business as well. We just completed a massive LEED project (furniture installation) at NAS Jax. It was "fun" but worth-while. I have been a HUGE supporter of recycling since I got started in the business back in '87. As a Boy Scout from way back, I cannot dispose of the amount of refuse (Especially cardboard) we generate witout adopting some sort of program. By default, we have been operating within LEED guidelines for more that 20 years now. They make it sound MUCH harder than it really is, but it is more expensive to maintain and run LEED projects. Not sure its worth all the hassle but from our end, its no biggieCongrats! I'm in the custom commercial furniture business and LEED has me completely confused but good for you!!

Henry Pierce recently separated from his longtime girlfriend. Trying to settle into his new home, he plugs in his phone - and within minutes is getting calls for someone called Lilly.
All the messages are from men, and Pierce realizes that Lilly must be a prostitute or an escort service employee.
Most people, at that stage of affairs, would get the number changed and forget about the calls. But Pierce is at a crossroads in his personal life and for the first time is unable to lose himself in his work.
Pierce's girlfriend has left him because of his obsession with what he now thinks of as "chasing the dime" - racing to make the next big technological breakthrough by developing a molecular computer that will put his fledgling company, Amedeo Technologies, ahead of all its rivals.
Although he should be working in the lab, Pierce checks out the L.A. Darlings, a Web site mentioned by some of the callers. Soon he's tracking down one of Lilly's fellow Web-mates and trying to get clues as to her whereabouts.
One link leads to another, and Pierce finds himself caught up in the sleazy world of big crime and pornography.
Michael Connelly, taking a break from his Harry Bosch series, sticks close to home, however, with yet another hero who doesn't quite fit into the mainstream. Connelly also proves with "Chasing the Dime" that there is no substitute for a good writing and storytelling.
As Pierce peels away the layers shrouding the life and disappearance of Lilly, Connelly leads the reader down a delicious path of intrigue, ratcheting up the tension at every turn and delivering a perfect ending.
