With its offset waist and contoured body the new Vintage Modified Jazzmaster® Special gives a nod to its iconic forbearer but has other things going for it that make it truly 'modified'. The unique top-loading hard tail bridge features string saddles which are adjustable for intonation and designed to have a 9.5" radius when sitting flat on the bridge plate. The bridge is anchored at the rear of the plate while the front sits atop height adjustment screws, which can be raised or lowered to achieve desired string height/action while subtle adjustment at the rear (anchor) achieves the correct bridge angle. A custom set of Duncan Designed™ pickups offers tones from glassy smooth to jangly rockin' rhythm crunch with a vintage toned neck pickup and higher output bridge pickup. Other features include '62 Jazz Bass® concentric volume/tone controls, vintage style tuners and a comfortable one-piece maple neck.

I'll be honest. I bought my Jazzmaster to fill out my small collection of vintage-look guitars at a reasonable price. Then I took it to a gig and fell in love with the way it played and sounded. My tone is simple. I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with zero added effects. Just the channel switch and boost that came with it — 1. loud; 2. louder; 3. loudest. That's all I really need. Well, the Jazzmaster paired very nicely with the amp. Sustain. Bite. Guts. And plenty of control. It's my primary gig guitar these days.
At a recent show a guy in the crowd demanded to know what year my Jazzmaster was made. He was astonished when I said, "2011." He thought it was decades old. I've gotten a lot of compliments on my tone and the look of the guitar. I'm not self-centered or anything, but I must say I like the attention.

When my local Sam Ash salesman showed me the Squire VM Jazzmaster Special I thought that it looked like a really nice guitar design. More specifically, I really liked the simplicity of the controls. The two stacked tone/volume knobs are borrowed from Fender's bass guitars replace what would be four control knobs (2 volume/2 bass) like you find in on a Gibson Les Paul. I always thought that the Les Paul setup was "messy" to deal with while playing. But, Fender's stacked controls are so easy to manage when making adjustments between songs. In fact, they would be an awesome upgrade to their other guitars they should consider. The Duncan designed Jazzmaster pickups also sounded pretty good, especially for a guitar with a retail street price of $299. With the only other control on the guitar being the 3 position pickup switch, this guitar is so easy to play that it is a joy. I really like the Jazzmaster/Jaguar body style and own two USA models. And, the clean looks of this guitar with the body style I love was wonderful. You may ask why did I not buy it yet? Good question ... It was unfortunately already sold! But, I am having them order one for me which I hope to have soon. My only complaint is the limited color selection. The sunburst is OK, but the butterscotch is just plain ugly. Put some cool colors on this guitar and it would sell like hotcakes! I will also sand down the polyester finish on the back of the neck to improve the flow of how it plays. But, that is a personal thing for me. One final note is that I own a lot of expensive Fender USA guitars (12) and this is my first Squire. If Fender keeps making high value, low price toys like this I may not need to buy the big dollar ones anymore! Just kidding, I will eventually buy the new Fender Select Carved Top Jazzmaster HH but this toy will be great fun until I do. In summary, this guitar is a great buy.

In the world of celebrity, playing dress-up with mummy involves more than smeared red lipstick and oversized heels. Because not only do the A-listers give excellent style-spiration for us mere mortals, they also inspire their petite enfant.
Most recently,we spotted Reese Witherspoon out and about with cherub-faced daughter Ava Phillippe in Los Angeles. Even without the similar expression, it's a mini-me double-take. Of course, looking like your kid is normal; but as we've seen Reese's big blue eyes since her Man In The Moon days, we are shocked by the overwhelming resemblance between these two petite blondies.
In other mini-me news, Coleen Rooney, wife of the Wonderous Wayne, was out and about with thier adorable cub Kai in matching Moncler parka jackets. Beckham boy No.2 - aka: Romeo Beckham - followed in Papa Bear's footsteps by copying David's 'Harper' tattoo, as seen while strolling with the family in Santa Monica. While the ten-year-old was sporting a fake tat, leaving the real ink to the grown-ups (for now), the likeness to his Dad is undeniable - and tres fashionable according to Karl Lagerfeld. Aw, like father, like son...
But it's not just the Beckham clan that features a mini-me. We've seen Jennifer Lopez FROW-ing with her adorable offspring Emme at the Chanel show and Jessica Alba is often spotted out and about with her trendy tots and let's not forget Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise or Nicole Richie and her diddy clone daughter, Harlow... We could go on but what would be better is a flick through the gallery of our favourite mini-mes above. See, who needs a Birkin?

Egypt second round run-off turns ugly
Egypt's presidential run-off next month will pit former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq against Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi. An outcome branded a nightmare scenario by many of those whose protests ousted Hosni Mubarak last year. As each candidate seeks to win allies and woo the Egyptian public, the campaign is becoming increasingly divisive. On Monday night Ahmed Shafiq's campaign HQ was attacked.

This topic was made last week.
Its really, realllllly simple. Tobi simply did to Yahiko what we just saw him do to Nagato. While Yahiko was still alive and before he formed the organization, Tobi often dropped by and whispered in his ear about things, most likely forming that organization. The 3 of them were not likely together 24/7, so Tobi could easily have manipulated Yahiko without the other 2 knowing or perhaps simply with them nearby.
And obviously, Tobi was also able to later convince Nagato to join his side after yahiko kicked the bucket and Nagato became full-on emo.

Usually the eternal is better for over all damage reduction, the austere has it's uses if you're mainly dying to non-blockable Physical attacks, though few of those currently exist in DS encounters.
Currently using the Earthsiege but I'm noticing some shield tanks using the Austere. I'm passive CTC, assuming full raid buffs, & replacing Mastery gems w/ Stam whilst maintaining passive CTC. Here's my armory, just in case:
Googled the metas & so far as I've suspected the Eternal's ever so slightly better for me, but am wanting some other opinions & input on which of the 2 to choose. Thx in advance!
Usually the eternal is better for over all damage reduction, the austere has it's uses if you're mainly dying to non-blockable Physical attacks, though few of those currently exist in DS encounters.
Hagara - assault
Madness - impale
But i guess we could argue in that way about some crazy incoming magical damage as well ( Effulgent Shadowspirit Diamond ).
Indeed we could, and if your dying to those unblockables and are willing to swap meta's on a fight by fight you probably should swap them out, it might be worth a shot.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I'm more than likely going to switch back to austere full time for the simple fact that in normal situations you are talking about a 0.1% difference or less. However austere helps with all the effects that can't be blocked and do large portions of damage.
It is not 0.1, its 0.2. It is about 1k damage difference per hit. And only gets better with gear.
Hit a boss. Replace the gem. Hit a boss. Compare.
And it does if you give it correct input.
So for arguments sake if you wanted to min/max for bosses like unsleeping you would want to use the spell dmg reduction meta, the armour increase one for the three above and the block for the rest. That's either a lot of changing gems or 3 of the same helm.
Oh well LFM LFR pally helm tokens reserved.
Does armor even reduce Impale damage?
It appears be reduced by armor. It seems confusing but the debuff you get from impale is before the actual impale itself, so it actually does twice the damage on the tooltip... minus armor and cooldowns.
The tooltip says it does 400k for me. I don't believe the Impale debuff is applied prior to the first impale and here's why. According to this log I got hit for 97200 by the first one. I appear to on have the ancestral fortitude and Ysera's Dream as external damage reductions, and only shieldwall as my own. I managed to be in zerkerstance for the first one becuase i'm that fail. but at least our DK tank had Scarlet fever up
So 400k reduced;
40% by Shield Wall is 240k
10 % further by Ancesteal Fortitude is 216k
50% by Ysera's Dream is 108k
10% by Scarlet Fever 97.2k
Rather a tidy sum if we assume the tooltip is correct and if impale by passes armour. My amour which is 42.6k, or ~60% physical damage reduction, so if we work back wards and reverse the previous statements and then factor in the reduction from armour at a flat 60% Impale would have to hit for 1million damage. That's 200K more base damage than I can account for assuming the debuff is applied before the damage.
I'm sticking with the Eternal.
EDIT: On second thought, from that kill nearly 74% of the damage is magic, the effulgent suddenly doesn't seem so bad a choice. Stomp almost certainly isn't affected by armour (dunno bout hagara's Assault) making the austeree less than ideal for about every fight but Hagara for a shield tank. Madness and Yor'Sahj are magic heavy, the rest are melee (blockable) heavy

Teng, you are in zerker stance on that impale.
Bloody hell i am aswell. Which is good as i totally forgot about the 10% physical damage Debuff the DK puts up on the tentacle too. Good for the maths anyway, not so good for for overall damage taken. Very Herp.
Last edited by Tengenstein; 01-15-2012 at 10:17 PM.
Why do you say Stomp almost certainly isn't effected by armor, it's physical damage and if it wasn't effected by armor it would be doing l+200k damage to the tank and the closest person. But I do agree that 2% armor probably isn't going to make a big difference.
Because the damage of stomp does not increase in line with decrease in armour as you gain stacks of Crush armour. with 100% of my armour and 6 peeps stacked a stomp hits me for 80-90k. with only 20% of my armour and 6 peeps to share it it still hits me for 80-90K.
I wouldn't be suprised if most boss special attacks that can't be blocked, dodged, or parryed also ignore armour.

Foundation governance
Pointing the way to the future
Entrepreneur and founder Reinhard Mohn reorganized the Bertelsmann Stiftung's organizational and management structures at the end of 2004. By applying exemplary corporate governance practices, he hopes to ensure continuity in Germany's largest private operating foundation. The roles of the Executive Board and the Board of Trustees will be separated and their functions and powers clearly defined, as is standard practice in successful stock corporations. As of January 1, 2005, the Executive Board has been functioning as a management board; the Board of Trustees has become a supervisory board for consultation and controlling activities. This reorganization of leadership structure to conform to corporate best practices puts the Bertelsmann Stiftung right on course for its future endeavors.
The Executive Board and Board of Trustees of the Bertelsmann Stiftung
The Executive Board
Members of the Executive Board are Aart De Geus (chairman and CEO), Liz Mohn (vice-chair), Dr. Jörg Dräger and Dr. Brigitte Mohn.more
The Board of Trustees
Similar to a Supervisory Board, the Board of Trustees functions as an advising and monitoring body. Prof. Dr. Werner J. Bauer has been chairman of the Board of Trustees since November 2011 and has been a member of this board since 2003.
The Board of Trustees may have a maximum of 14 members. Its members include Liz Mohn and other public figures who have had contact with or who have shown an ongoing interest in the foundation's work, on the one hand, and who have leadership experience and an appreciation of the importance of continuity within organizational structures, on the other.

The Earl of Egmont was impressed at his first hearing, calling the oratorio an 'inimitable composition' and that indefatigable Handel supporter Mrs Delany reported that audiences were good: 'The oratorios fill very well, notwithstanding the spite of the opera party … I fancy Handel will have a second subscription'. The rehearsals had not been trouble-free, and there are enough stories about Handel's ill-tempered rehearsals for us to realize that he was not an easy man for whom to work. On 25 February Mrs Delany wrote to her sister: 'Handel is mightily out of humour … Sullivan, who is to sing Joseph, is a block with a very fine voice, and Beard has no voice at all'.
Irritating to Handel or not, the cast at the first Covent Garden performance on 2 March 1744 was a distinguished one, including the countertenor 'block with a fine voice' Daniel Sullivan as Joseph and Elisabeth Duparc (otherwise known as 'La Francescina') as Asenath. The tenor John Beard (one of Handel's most favoured soloists who continued—clearly finding his voice again—to sing for Handel well into the 1750s) sang the roles of both Simeon and Judah, the German bass Thomas Reinhold the parts of Pharaoh and Reuben, the contralto Esther Young the role of Phanor, and 'The Boy' (probably Samuel Champness) sang Benjamin. In the four revivals between 1745 and 1757 the parts for Joseph, Benjamin, Phanor and the High Priest were altered, with the casting of different voices bringing about new arias and transpositions of existing ones. Some of these alterations make the score confusing, especially in the recitative writing for Joseph, where there are frequently two possible sets of notes. In 1745 a boy treble may have sung the role, explaining Handel's inking-in of some new notes, and the nineteenth-century Handel editor Chrysander added to the confusion by claiming that the treble took part in the first performance—which the evidence shows is not the case. Our performance follows (as much as we can ascertain) the original edition heard in the two 1744 Covent Garden performances.
Twentieth-century scholars have been unkind about Joseph and his Brethren. Winton Dean starts his chapter (in Handel's Dramatic Oratorios and Masques) with the statement, 'Of all the oratorios Deborah and Joseph come nearest to complete failure'. This view of Joseph seems largely to have been based (as was Dean's opinion of Deborah, restored after its recent Hyperion recording to a better reputation) on Dean's views of the libretto, and not really on the music at all. As ever, Handel's arias and choruses are full of good, varied music, the prison scenes are especially theatrical and effective, the recitative writing and the accompagnatos are particularly colourful in their harmonic invention, and (drawing shamelessly on the time-honoured theatrical tradition of placing an innocent child centre-stage) the writing for young Benjamin can have left few dry eyes in the house.
The libretto
The librettist for Joseph was James Miller (1708–1744), an Oxford-educated vicar who had spent much of the 1730s adapting and writing satires and comedies for the London theatres. Miller is described as having been 'firm and steadfast in his Principles, ardent in his Friendships, and somewhat precipitate in his Resentments'. As a High Church man writing low-level comedy (albeit under a pen-name) he effectively wrote himself out from promotion within the church and, as a satirist, he predictably made many enemies, beginning with his first London comedy, The Humours of Oxford, which 'gave considerable umbrage'. Later in the decade he entered into a controversial public debate with the publication of an article entitled Are these things so? The previous question, from an Englishman in his grotto to a great man at Court, which provoked three strong pamphlet responses.
By the time Miller started writing the libretto for Joseph he was Rector of Upcerne, Dorset, and, according to Donald Burrows, 'although apparently a supporter of the Hanoverians, was fundamentally sympathetic to the dramatic stance accorded to Joseph as an uncorrupted public servant surrounded by the temptations and uncertainties of power, and occasionally envying the peasant's supposedly simple life'. Miller's much-criticized libretto was in fact based on works by others: in 1711 Abbé Genest had written a five-act play Joseph which was adapted by the Italian Apostolo Zeno for Antonio Caldara's oratorio Giuseppe, first performed in Vienna in 1722. A separate influence may have been Elizabeth Rowe's The History of Joseph: a Poem which was published in eight books in 1736. Zeno portrayed Joseph as a lachrymose character, and Rowe saw Asenath as a former 'virgin priestess', which may explain various references in Miller's libretto and Asenath's occasional prophetic utterances.
For Parts II and III of Joseph Miller was able to lean on Zeno's libretto, which deals with the visit of Joseph's brothers to Egypt and the reconciliation and reunification of Joseph's family—action that is fairly confined in both time and place. For Part I, however, Miller needed to outline Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams, his transformation from prisoner to Court officer and his courtship and marriage. This action takes place some years before Parts II and III, and necessarily compresses the classical unities of time and place to tell the events of several months and different locations. Not content with this difficulty, Miller takes a thoroughly dramatic view of the events (including two fine prison scenes), and introduces topics related to the development of relationships, including the effects of ingratitude and jealousy. Packing all this into his libretto, the plot does become more than a little confused, but eighteenth-century audiences would have known such a familiar biblical story well. The original wordbook contained an 'Advertisement' which filled in the missing parts of the background. This Advertisement is reproduced below and for those whose memories of the finer details of the Old Testament have become a little rusty it is well worth a read!
Handel's score and the plot—a synopsis
Handel's score was largely newly composed, containing surprisingly few borrowings from previous works. The four-section overture, full of gravitas, was a fine one: Handel sets an unusually sombre tone, opening the work with two slow movements, followed by a serious fugue and a simple minuet. The first scene is dramatic and could easily have come straight from one of the operas: we are introduced to Joseph who is in prison, 'reclining in a melancholy posture', resignedly accepting a fate that he cannot understand. Phanor, Pharaoh's chief butler, enters and requests that Joseph assist the ruler in interpreting his dream. Joseph senses the hand of fate at work in his melodious aria 'Come, divine inspirer, come' and Phanor, having apologized to Joseph for forgetting him for so long (the reasons for which would have been supplied to the audience in the 'Advertisement'), muses on ingratitude. The scene changes to Pharaoh's Palace, where the ruler requests Joseph's help. Joseph explains that only Heaven can do this, and the chorus calls for Jehovah's assistance for Joseph in revealing the truths behind Pharaoh's 'mystic dreams'. Joseph carries out his task in another dramatic accompagnato which splits into two distinct themes, one arpeggionic and lively, the other legato and dreamy, explaining that there will be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of dearth. Pharaoh, much impressed, appoints Joseph to be second-in-command of the land.
Asenath too is impressed, although by rather different qualities, venting her feelings in the delightful aria 'O lovely youth, with wisdom crown'd'. Pharaoh awards Joseph the title of 'Zaphnath-Paaneah' (which Miller explained in a footnote as 'Saviour of the World') and the chorus rejoices in suitably grand fashion. Asenath now reveals her growing desire for Joseph in an ornate aria 'I feel a spreading flame' and Joseph wastes no time in asking Pharaoh for her hand in marriage. Permission being immediately granted, we are treated to the duet 'Celestial virgin! Godlike youth!', a 'Grand March during the procession' of the wedding (based on the Dead March from Samson and bringing the first entry of trumpets and timpani), the chorus 'Immortal pleasures crown this pair' and, to conclude the Act, Pharaoh's splendid aria 'Since the race of time begun' which is translated at the midpoint into a joyful chorus.
Before Part II begins, the predicted seven years of prosperity have elapsed, and now the people are suffering seven years of famine. Joseph's shrewd management of resources is proving successful, and the opening chorus (including a fugue based on 'Bless the glad earth', from Semele) and succeeding recitative indicate that his popularity with the Egyptians is great. The lively second section of Asenath's aria 'Our fruits, whilst yet in blossom, die' also confirms this, as does Phanor, and the chorus praise Joseph's virtue and his incorruptibility. Despite this fame, Joseph is unhappy, missing his native land, and Asenath sings a touching aria quoting Joseph's words to his children: 'Together, lovely innocents, grow up'. In the following recitative Asenath reveals that Joseph is suffering sudden mood changes, one moment silent, the next exclaiming, 'Inhuman Brethren! O unhappy father', but she does not understand why.
The scene changes to another prison, this time one in which Simeon, brother of Joseph, has been incarcerated for a year, held as a hostage. In a dramatic accompagnato and aria ('Remorse, confusion') he berates his brothers for not coming to rescue him, and guiltily remembers the ruse that he and his brothers pulled to fake Joseph's death. Joseph orders Phanor to bring Simeon to his presence. Whilst Phanor fetches the prisoner, Joseph muses wistfully in an especially fine, extended accompagnato and then in a lyrical siciliano aria ('The peasant tastes the sweets of life') that, despite his enormous power in Egypt, his rule is nothing but slavery to him. In the complex recitative that follows, Joseph prepares to meet his treacherous brother Simeon. Trembling, Simeon is brought to Joseph, who demands to know why the remaining brothers have not returned as had been agreed. Mention of Joseph's old father (who is grieving at the supposed death of Joseph) and Benjamin (the youngest brother, who has remained at home to comfort the father) tests Joseph's fortitude to maintain his cover but, hearing of his own 'death' he tells Simeon that he knows he is lying and exits. Simeon, in the anguished 'Impostor! Ah! my foul offence', is distraught. Next it is Asenath's turn to be melancholy: she explains that she cannot be happy whilst Joseph is sad, and sings the two-part aria 'The silver stream, that all its way'. Questioned by Asenath as to his 'heart's malady', Joseph is evasive, making excuses of 'A slight disorder—public cares' but, hearing that 'a youth of matchless beauty' (Benjamin) has arrived, promises that 'Soon thou shalt know'.
Phanor brings in Joseph's brothers, calming the nervous Judah with the opinion that Joseph is a fair ruler who will not 'condemn you wrongfully'. Judah sings the splendid aria 'To keep afar from all offence', and the brothers (represented by the choir) sing a chorus whose material originally came in the Chandos anthem Have mercy upon me. The brothers implore Joseph's help, first through Reuben, then Judah, and finally the young Benjamin, whom Joseph calls 'son'. Benjamin sings a touching aria ('Thou deign'st to call thy servant, 'son'') in which he notes the uncanny resemblance of Joseph to his father. Joseph is greatly moved by the boy's innocence, and especially by mention of his father, and leaves weeping with 'joy and anguish'. The chorus prays that Israel be delivered from its troubles: the second section introduces an extraordinarily chromatic countersubject and the Act ends with a moving statement of their faith in God.
Part III begins with a lively Sinfonia which leads into a conversation between Asenath and Phanor: we learn that a silver cup has been stolen, that Joseph's brothers are suspected, and that they have been captured. Phanor sings the aria 'The wanton favours of the great'. Asenath is still puzzled that Joseph is 'so disturb'd' and, with his lack of communication, says that he must be jealous. She sings the splendid aria 'Ah Jealousy, thou pelican': the text of this aria has drawn ribald comment from some twentieth-century commentators, but is actually a serious reference to the erroneous eighteenth-century belief that pelicans would peck their own breasts to draw blood on which to feed their youngsters.
Finally Joseph rises to Asenath's bait and reveals part of his disquiet, the fact that his father is 'inconsolable and wretched' and, more immediately, hungry. Asenath suggests that Joseph should send food from Egypt, but Joseph counters that this would be a corrupt act. Asenath suggests bringing Joseph's father into Egypt: Joseph's popularity with both Pharaoh and the people is as high as ever. Joseph, in the aria 'The people's favour' tells that such acclaim can quickly be lost. Asenath offers to plead with Pharaoh and sings an extended and virtuosic aria, 'Prophetic raptures swell my breast'. The brothers appear in chains, 'indignation in their looks', and are accused of the theft of the missing silver cup, which they deny. It is found in the innocent Benjamin's sack, and the brothers are told they are to be banished from Egypt. Benjamin is seized, desolately noting that at his birth his mother died, and that now his imprisonment will lead to his father's death.
Joseph still has to pretend that he does not know his brother: Benjamin movingly pleads that Joseph should remember the affection he showed at their first meeting, but it is to no avail—he is taken to prison. Simeon asks for clemency on humanitarian grounds but Joseph will hear none of it. Reuben reminds Simeon that the brothers once ignored Joseph's pleas; now they are receiving similar treatment. If they return without Benjamin their father will die of grief. If they stay he will die of famine. First Simeon asks for God's mercy in the delicious accompagnato 'O gracious God' and then the chorus calls for assistance in 'Eternal Monarch of the sky'. Joseph is angry that the brothers have disobeyed his command to leave the country; Judah explains the sadness that his father will feel if Benjamin is detained. Simeon sings the aria 'Thou had'st, my Lord, a father once' and offers to take the young boy's place. This faith shown, no longer can Joseph hold his secret. 'Know, I am Joseph', he explains, and everything is understood and forgiven. All that now remains is for Asenath and Joseph to re-unite, which they do in the duet 'What's sweeter than the new-blown rose', and then the chorus grandly rejoices.
The synopsis supplied by Miller for the original 1744 wordbook
PART I Jacob had Twelve Children, whereof Joseph and Benjamin were the two youngest, and were born to him of Rachel. The superior Affection which Jacob shewed towards Joseph, and the Account which the latter gave his Brethren of some Dreams denoting his own future Grandeur and the Subjection to him, raised their Jealousy and Hatred against him. Hereupon they take an Opportunity, when they were one Day in a Field together, to throw him first into a Pit, and afterwards to draw him out again, and sell him to a Company of mercantile Ishmaelites who were going down to Egypt; persuading their Father Jacob, by the Stratagem of dipping his Coat which they had strip'd him of, in Blood, that he was devoured by a wild Beast.
The Ishmaelites being arrived with Joseph in Egypt, sold him to Potiphar, a principal Officer in Pharaoh's Court, with whom he lived in high Favour a considerable time, 'till at length, upon the false Accusation of Potiphar's Wife, he was disgraced and cast into Prison. During his Confinement the Chief Butler, and Chief Baker of Pharaoh's Court, were thrown into the same Place of the King's Order; both of whom having a Dream in the same Night, receiv'd an Interpretation from Joseph, which proved true, the chief Baker being within three Days hanged on a Tree, and the chief Butler restored to his Employment as was foretold; but being taken into favour again, he thought no more of his Interpreter, as he had promised to do.
Here then our Drama finds Joseph, two Years after this incident had happened. At this time Pharaoh himself having had two Dreams in the same Night, the First, of Seven fat Kine coming out of the River, which were devoured by Seven other lean Kine which came after them; and the Second, of Seven full Ears of Corn devoured by Seven thin ones. The Wisemen of Egypt could not interpret them. The chief Butler, calling Joseph to remembrance upon this Occasion, spoke of him to the King, who immediately order'd that he should be brought before him; of whom having received a satisfactory Explication of his Dreams, as that they were both of the same Purport, and pointed out Seven Years of Plenty, and Seven of Famine to succeed them; Pharaoh appointed him Ruler over the Land of Egypt, to lay up in the Years of Plenty a Store for the Supply in those of Dearth; at the same time giving to Wife Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, High-priest of On, by whom, during the Years of Plenty, he had two Sons.
PART II The Famine having at length spread itself into all Countries, Jacob hearing that there was Corn in Egypt, sent his ten elder Sons thither to purchase some, keeping Benjamin his youngest with him for fear some accident should befall him. Joseph immediately knew his Brethren, and seeing them at his Feet, he remembered his former Dreams, but did not make himself known to them, speaking roughly, treating them as Spies, and ordering them to return and bring down their younger Brother whom they spoke of, as Proof of their Veracity. Having detained one of them in Prison, by way of a Hostage, he commanded his Officers privately, to restore every one of the others his Money into his Sack, and to send them away with their Corn, for the land of Canaan. Having, after a long time, prevailed on Jacob to let Benjamin go with them, they returned to Egypt and presented him before Joseph, who tenderly embraced him, and was so sensibly affected by the Interview, that, not being able to refrain from Tears, he was obliged to leave the Room. After this he made a great Entertainment for them, giving at the same time a secret Order to his Officers to put his Silver Cup into Benjamin's Sack.
PART III They had no sooner left the Town the next Morning but they were sent after, brought before Joseph again, and charged with stealing this Cup, when, their sacks being examined, and the Cup found in that belonging to Benjamin, he was doom'd to continue a Slave to Joseph.
The rest of the Brethren refusing to return to their Father without Benjamin with them, and one of them passionately requesting to become a Bondman in his stead, Joseph could refrain no longer, but with Tears gushing from his Eyes, discovered himself to them. This News coming soon to Pharaoh, he ordered Joseph to send immediately, and bring down his Father and the whole family into Egypt, appointing one of the most fruitful Parts of the Country for their Habitation.

- Built to resist stains, shrug-off corrosion and increase heat retention for improved drying performance, the stainless steel tub delivers service that shines.
- QuietGuard technology ensures the dishwasher runs without producing a noticeable amount of noise, so you can get a deep clean while carrying on a conversation.
- Americans with Disabilities Act compliance means dishwasher controls are easy to reach, operable with one hand and minimal force, and the dish racks slide in and out smoothly.

This dishwasher is he perfect size for an apartment kitchen and it works really well. I am so glad I bought it!
North Adams, MA
via sears.com
I purchased this new Kenmore dishwasher to replace a Kenmore that we had for over 20 years. After following the installation instructions I was ready to test the dishwasher. The first step is to pour 2 quarts of water inside the unit. To my shock, the water poured right out the back of the unit and down inside my cabinet. After the clean up, I pulled the unit out, unhooked the electrical and plumbing to repeat the test. Again the water poured out the back of the unit. I could plainly see that it was pouring out of the connection from the pump motor to the upper spin unit. It is unbelievable to me that this unit was not checked at the factory. If they had poured a little water into the unit they would have seen the unit fail and would not have sent it out for delivery to a customer. I have requested a full refund and a pickup of the dishwasher, I want nothing to do with Kenmore, especially after being told that they don't even build appliances any longer. They contract them out. It is truly sad what has happened to a once great company like Sears. Solid brand names like Kenmore have been reduced to second rate quality items. My original Kenmore dishwasher lasted 20 years, this one didn't even last 20 minutes.
Love this dishwasher. perfect for two.Only have to turn it on every few days as it holds more than i thought. Its very quiet compared to any other I have had in the past.Dishes come out super clean. I have an older home and this fit right in perfect.Looks clean no dials and with stainless tub no worry of stains. Have yet to find a downside. Little pricy for smaller size but shop for deals. It has all full size features and quality seems excellent. Totally satisfied

We just remodled our kitchen. allnew appilances, only had a small space for a dish washer tho..but this 18 inch built in was perfect for a family of two.. we just love it,, works great and is stylish as well
via sears.com
My new 18 inch Kenmore dishwasher works wonderfully. The dishes come out shiny and clean. It really is very quiet, just a soothing swish swish when it is washing the dishes. And it is perfect for the two of us. We are very happy with it.

This dishwasher is poorly built. The racks don't slide in and out (I've had them replaced alresy) it leaks water and is such poor quality. I thought a Kenmore would mean quality but this is a piece of garbage. And at over $700 its not easily replaced. Sears should be embarassed to have it's name on it

We got this 18inch dishwasher for a steal! We got it from the sears outlet store. It fits perfect to measurement and works beautifully! Would recommend!

The unit cleans well but the upper rack slides are poorly designed and constructed. Opening and closing the rack is extremely difficult as it seems to bind on the rollers. We have used this machine for 5 months and it is not getting any better.

One of the first steps to reducing the sodium in your diet is to stop salting your food. Put the saltshaker in the cupboard and leave it there. This will immediately reduce the amount of sodium in your diet. Most foods in their natural state contain some level of sodium. With time, your tastes will likely adapt to a lower sodium intake.
Many of the seasonings and condiments that we use on food are high in sodium. The chart below divides some common foods into low- and high-sodium additions to foods. When selecting, try to use the condiments from the low-sodium areas and avoid those from the high-sodium areas. You can make your own sodium-free salad dressing that will taste as good or better than what you buy at the store. Also, remember to stick to the serving size. Very few people actually eat just two tablespoons of salsa or use only two tablespoons of dressing on their salad.
Here is a list of low- and high-sodium foods:
Low-sodium foods
High-sodium foods
Fruits and vegetables
Unsalted nuts
Dried beans
Spices and herbs
Table salt
Baked goods
Soy sauce
Salad dressing
Lunch meats
Salty snacks
Pickled foods
Canned foods
Processed foods
Food preparation, even if you're starting with low-sodium foods, can add a lot of sodium to your diet. The biggest offender, of course, is salt. One teaspoon of salt supplies 2300 mg of sodium. Omit the salt when cooking, cut the amount of salt in half, or use "lite salt" that has a reduced amount of sodium. Avoid commercial seasonings, such as garlic salt and Cajun spice. If you make your own bread, use yeast instead of baking powder or baking soda for leavening. Don't use monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a flavor enhancer because it contains sodium.
You can find out exactly how much sodium is in a serving of processed food by reading the Nutrition Facts label. For a general sense of sodium content, you can also look for wording like "reduced sodium" or "low sodium" on the product. The FDA requires manufacturers that include such wording to adhere to these criteria:
Reduced sodium
The product has at least 25 percent less sodium than the regular product
Light in sodium
The product has at least 50 percent less sodium than the regular product
Sodium free
5 mg of sodium or less in each serving
Very low sodium
35 mg of sodium or less in each serving
Low sodium
140 mg of sodium or less in each serving
You can reduce the amount of salt in your diet by making simple changes. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables are virtually free of sodium. (No foods are completely free of sodium, but there is very little in fruits and vegetables.) Pick your favorites and fill up on them. Avoid canned or prepared fruits and vegetables, however, because salt and other sodium-containing food additives are usually part of these foods. Don't add sauces, condiments, glazes, or toppings to vegetables, or if you do, choose low-sodium products (see chart). Vinegar, lemon juice, and some spices all impart a salty taste without adding sodium. You can also use a salt substitute.
Meats. Meat contains a small amount of sodium; what increases the sodium content is adding sauces (barbecue, steak, or Worcestershire) and glazes. Instead, season meat with garlic, cayenne, or paprika. Some fish goes well with lemon. Chicken can be marinated in vinegar and red pepper before barbecuing. Avoid bacon, sausage, salami, bologna, pepperoni, corned beef, smoked meats, potted meats, canned meats, and other processed meats as these are high in sodium.
Cereals. Most cereals and other grain products are naturally low in sodium—at least until they are processed. Check the Nutrition Facts label to find out the sodium content; some cereals have more than others.
Bread. Store-bought bread is fairly high in sodium, ranging from about 90 mg to more than 500 mg per slice, depending on the type. Stick to a couple of slices per day, or check your grocery for low-salt or reduced-sodium varieties.
Pasta and rice. Cook pasta and rice without salt. Other spices can be added to the boiling water to impart flavor. Generally, the sauces added to pasta and rice contain enough (or more) salt to satisfy most people's taste.
Milk. Help yourself to at least three eight-ounce servings per day, as long as it's fat-free or low-fat. Milk is reasonably low in sodium and supplies your daily need for calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin A. It's also a good source of protein.
Cheese. Think of cheese as concentrated milk: Most of the water is removed, and the solids, including sodium, become concentrated. Avoid processed cheeses, such as Velveeta, because they are exceptionally high in sodium. Stick with mozzarella, cottage cheese, and a limited amount of cheddar cheese. Choose low-fat varieties, when possible.
Nuts and snacks. Buy unsalted nuts and low-sodium snacks. Nuts sold in the shell (walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts) typically come without salt. Peanuts and pistachios are exceptions; buy them unsalted. Limit your consumption of other snack foods; those that you do eat should be low in sodium. Healthier snack choices are fresh fruits and vegetables.
As you cut back on salt, don't get discouraged. It took years to become accustomed to really salty foods. It will take several months to get used to food that isn't as salty. Once you lose your taste for salt, many of the foods you used to crave (particularly fast-foods) will no longer seem as appetizing. They'll probably taste too salty.

Twilight is great!
Twilight is good, but it doesn't deserve to be so popular
I watched Twilight and geniuely dislike it
I'm fake, I tell people I hate it, but I actually like it :/
lame movie in my opinion, f@Ck celebrity!!
Never read the books, never seen the movies, but know the story by way of Wikipedia plot synopsis and much summarizing by people who have read the books. And I will say I dislike it because Bella is a pretty terrible role model for the young, impressionable girls the book is being marketed to.
I used to make fun but now I don't care anymore.
you wanna a truly awesome vampire movie watch underworld with a women that actually kicks a$$ , not this fary tail , with fail actors , a whore as the lead actress , shit of a movie ...... thank madara this is over !
I genuinely hate this movie and it's plot.
I still watched all the movies despite acting like I didn't want to. IMHO, the last two movies were ok. Though I'm more of a 'Supernatural' vampire fan, what with all the ingrown retractable fangs and deadman blood.
I watched the first movie and didn't like it at all, I tried to get into it but I couldn't.
I think its rather interesting
I don't hate Twilight, I just don't like the series. In particular I can't stand the way the series has completely bastardized the idea of vampires and werewolves. I watched part of the first movie, but couldn't watch anymore after Edward didn't die an excruciating death when the sun hit him. I'm pretty sure that would have made the series much more enjoyable.
As for all of the talk about Justin Beiber and One Direction, I couldn't care less about them either. One Direction will eventually go the way of the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls, and Beiber is probably going to get horribly addicted to some illegal substance.
what light?
I went with my Girl to watch the movie. Never have I ever been more miserable. I believe I started the trend on hating twilight

To say the truth, I was disappointed even though I was not expecting much from the start. It is not written well and the movie is an utter shambles.
the books are ok.... But the movie is outriht horrible...........
& get ready people a reboot is coming ............
i don't like it!
i love the book.. but i hate the movie installment... the actors and actress even the production not good... hahah!

Twilight isn't so bad at all, though it doesn't deserve all the attention it gets. Only movies like Inception, the Avengers, Cloud Atlas, etc should get attention to that level.
No one can see what you voted for, so be honest.
I don't pay attention to it i have no idea what the story is even about
The movie makes a joke about the real vampires
I genuinely like it.
And want to see that new Twilight movie already! X_____X
I read all the books, watched all the movies. The writing is increadibly lazy, the fact that they are vampires is basically pushed to the side in a way that makes you wonder what the book is actually about.
The movies did the impossible and made it even worse.
Tbh i do in fact despise that shit bag of a book called twilight. There is so much fail with i can't even begin to describe.
Read all the books and watched the movies, was really dissapointed by the whole thing. Want a great vampire movie look at interview with a vampire! Just not a fan of lovey dove sparkly vampires that goto school. Idk just never could get into it. I don't hate it but I don't like it
I was never a fan of the series,.. I found the story very weak and the SFX mediocre..
Untill my girlfriend pretty much forced me to watch the second movie,.. that's when I truly starting hating it.
I watched breaking dawn part 1 on my xbox360 and I gotta say the movie was beast.
It's ok

got a canon ae1. t90, a range of fd lenses. witch digital camera will work best with them. thinking of the panosnic lumix or sony
I think your only option is one of the mFT cameras (Olympus or Panasonic)
The problem here is the flange to sensor distance, and for most cameras (if you want to focus to infinity) you will need an adaptor with an addition lens built in, and this degrades the image significantly.
However the very short flang to sensor distance on micro four thirds cameras does allow appropriate adaptors to be designed and these already exist. Of course the FD lenses will only be usable in manual focussing mode, but then they always were

Versus! Tour de France Stage 11
July 16, 2008 at 1:12 pm Leave a comment
We found out yesterday that we could add Versus to our extremely cheap cable lineup for only $10/month. I am sure that it is a mistake somehow, but we now have Charter 10Meg Internet, basic digital service (channels 2-13), the discovery channel (23), and the sports package including Versus (212) for only $45/month! Anyway, I'm totally excited that Kristine and I just got to watch the finish of today's stage live on our very own TV.

I've noticed that if you have a 10 point shield and also have armor remaining, then if you take 11 or 12 damage, don't reinforce, as the burn through ignores armor. If you let those minor points penetrate the shield, it damages the armor instead.
Is this correct?
Burn through only applies if the shield is not penetrated. In the scenario you described, the first 10 points would fry the shield, then the next point(s) would carve into the armor until it is gone, then you would take internals.
Now let's say you have a 15 point shield and take 10 points of damage. In that case you would take 9 shield damage points, and 1 burn through point. In that case, the armor is by passed, and you would roll on the Damage Chart and take your 1 point of damage.

But what happens when the shield is 10 points, and I reinforce it to absorb the extra damage?
In this case, the shield was not penetrated (as I reinforced it). This would mean that the burn through would penetrate armor and hit internal systems, no?
I thought that I should only reinforce the shield to one point below the damage caused, in order to ensure that the armor takes the hit, and not other internal systems (because in that case, there would be no burn through at all).

On the surface, you're probably right.
Taking a deeper look, though, you may be wrong. It depends on the circumstances (and at this point we move from Rules Questions to Tactics).
Burn through will only affect a single system on your ship. Depending on the Damage Control rating on your ship, you may be able to repair the damage at the end of the turn. If you're playing Squadron Scale, then your ship will have a Damage Control rating of at least 2, which guarantees that you can repair any yellow box. A Damage Control rating of 3 guarantees that you can repair a power hit before that hit actually affects your power (since you calculate available power after you repair damage). A Damage Control rating of 4 allows you to repair weapons - which means that if you either already fired the weapon that gets disabled then it's irrelevant.
Basically, if you haven't taken any internal damage and your opponent scores a single point of burn through damage and rolls a '3' on the Damage Chart, then who cares?
So depending on your Damage Control rating, that single point of burn through might be a non-issue. And it might be in your best interest to let it through instead of losing armor (which is much more difficult to repair).

Actually, in the case of a 10 point volley on a 10 point shield, I believe you will still have a shield box left and take a point of burn through.
But as to why use the battery power to keep the last shield box and bypass armor: so that you still have that last shield box. If you let the damage hit, and take it on the armor, you may be better off in that specific volley. But if you save that last shield box, you will save your ability to reinforce that shield in the next volley, which will likely save you a handful of internals in that volley.
But, as Junior points out, that starts to get us directly into tactics.
When the threshold of burn through is perfectly hit, you can get slightly wonky results. It is just how it works.

As I understand it, in the case of a 10-point volley on a 10-box shield there is no choice to make: there is 1 point of burn-through and a 1-box shield remaining, no matter what the target does. Of course the target could use Reinforcement, but the point of burn-through is not changed by this.
If the volley is a few points larger, a ship with Armour can choose to just let the Armour burn or (if it has the spare energy and enough Batteries) spend energy to reduce the damage to a single point of burn-through, which will always be on a system with a shorter time to Repair.
In an extreme example of this, a target receiving an 11-point volley on such a 10-point shield can choose to spend 1 point of energy which both preserves a shield box for the future (which is always more energy-efficient than repairing it in the future) and turns the 1 internal into burn-through. Sounds like a win-win to me, especially for a ship with a Dam Con rating of 4.

Fighting hate speech on Twitter: is France showing the way?
Last week, France's Minister of Women's Rights put hate speech on Twitter centre stage, saying the social network should help France apply pre-existing laws banning racist, sexist and homophobic comments. Writing in The Guardian, Jason Farago says "we should follow France's example in restricting bigotry's free expression". Others say this would amount to a dangerous limitation on free speech. Also, an artist refuses the Legion of Honour and one French woman's awful New Year.

This morning I took another class at the Newberry Library. Grace DuMelle spoke on School Record sources. I picked up a few new tips such as if you are in the Chicago area and had Chicago Public School ancestor graduates, that CPS has lists online. You can go to CPS and register for a free account to access the records. Grace also suggested searching in ProQuest for the Chicago Tribune Historical files. She said the newspapers often printed graduation lists.
In addition, there are many online databases available through Chicago Public Library websites. These are accessible at the libraries and at home, if you have a CPL card. Grace told us if we do not have a CPL card and live in another library system, we can ask about a reciprocal card which then gives us access from home. This is something I will look into next time I am at the Harold Washington Library downtown. The CPL system offers a few databases my suburban library system does not.
After my class I went upstairs to research. I had my first taste of the Sanborn Fire Maps. It was very exciting to learn how to access these from the library and navigate through them. I discovered one of the addresses my Italian families gave, 372 S. Clark, Chicago, was in fact a store. I have a map key to figure out what all the symbols mean on the map I was able to print. Now I need to find out who owned the store, what kind of store it was, and if it belonged to my family or if it was a contact point for immigrants.
All in all a fantastic day in the city not only for me, but my husband and boys. They were able to check out the Transformers 3 filming on Michigan Avenue. I think the highlight of that was seeing Bumblebee, at least for my four year old twins.
One response to "Tools for Digging Deeper – School Records"
I have copies of the school attendance records of my grandmother and her brothers from the school they attended in Deer Lodge, Montana, in the 1880s. What precious information, yes!! It makes them feel so "alive" to me to read about them, there, then!

Senior road tester Michael Neeves has been to Italy to check out the new Aprilia Pegaso. See the first ride on this new 2007 bike in the video below. Last week MCN tested the BMW K1200R Sport – a great bike, but one so expensive we had to keep checking the price. Now we've got our noses buried in price ...
