Publisher's Description
-- Much research and detail on the life of Solomon is presented
-- An in-depth study for the serious student of the Bible
Isn't it amazing that a man who had 700 wives and 300 concubines and ruled a country for 40 years still had time to write three of the most profound books of the Bible? Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon all show marks of divine inspiration, and each can be a blessing to the reader, but why would God choose a man who turned to idolatry to write these books? Dr. Henry Morris, author of the commentaries Treasures in the Psalms and The Remarkable Record of Job, addresses the enigma of Solomon and presents a verse-by-verse commentary on his writings. Having studied the Bible for 60 years, Dr. Morris' wisdom is also quite remarkable, as you will quickly learn as you read The Remarkable Wisdom of Solomon.

At times when difficult decisions are being considered, leaders may seek the counsel of community minded, experienced individuals for input and clarification of concepts and ideas pertaining to the problem at hand. With this obtained information, experience and opinions, the elected leadership can move forward and make a decision of what would be best for the community as a whole. What has happened here?
A published letter from one of our commissioners expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the recommendations the planning board was generating. This is another setback for Macon County. Attacking the messenger (planning board) and not dealing with the message is a form of political deflection.

text: Fitness Trainer people are just starting an exercise program can find themselves quickly tired of the same routine. Keeping exercise appealing and maintaining a good fitness perspective is key to long-term success. If you have to watch the exact same episode of your favorite television show every day for the rest of your life, you would probably be banging your head against the wall by the end of the week. You would change the channel, pick up a book, or do anything you could to avoid something you once enjoyed. Yet, many people starting on a fitness program feel compelled to follow the same routine, day after day after day, and consequently fall off the exercise wagon due to sheer boredom. That is why, most people would want the services of a fitness trainer in order to provide them the different portions of the fitness program in a more livelier style. Fitness trainers are actually those who are expert in analyzing and creating a fitness program that is right for you. They are the ones who will calculate your appropriateness to a certain program with regards to your "fitness level," create the program according to your specific needs, and keep you stimulated and inspired by giving you activities that will not bore you. But then again, as with other entities included in the fitness world, not all fitness trainers are created equal. They may vary from the different trainings that they have, the health education they have acquired, and the skills that they have learned.

BioLife moving up to Nasdaq's small-cap market
By Seattle Times staff
BioLife Solutions of Bothell, whose products preserve stored cells, tissues and organs for life-science applications, said it will start trading Wednesday on the Nasdaq Capital Market, NASDAQ's market for small-cap companies.
The company, previously traded over the counter, said in a regulatory filing it has completed the sale of $15.4 million in stock and warrants and erased $14.3 million in debt by converting it to equity on similar terms.
BioLife last month reported 2013 sales of $8.5 million, up 58 percent from the prior year, and a net loss of $1.1 million, down from $1.7 million.
The company said it will retain its current ticker symbol, BLFS. The securities sale and debt-to-equity conversion increased BioLife's outstanding shares to 12 million, according to president and CEO Mike Rice, yielding a market capitalization of nearly $50 million at Tuesday's closing price of $3.85.

Serving up music with Sockso
User Management
The Collection Manager has a separate Users tab for user management. The Require login checkbox lets you specify whether the system will require users to enter a user account and password. By default, the server supports unrestricted access to your data but allows users to register if they want to do so. To change this behavior, enable the Disable registering checkbox to completely disable the registration function.
The Collection Manager General tab offers advanced configuration options. The General tab lets you modify the Title and Tagline in the web interface. The changes in this and other fields within the tab are automatically applied by the server. The logging feature lets you export user registration and login activity to a file, in which you can evaluate the information later. Another option lets you give users the ability to upload their own tracks. To do so, check the Enable uploads checkbox and define a target directory for file uploads.
Sockso also offers a set of command-line tools for managing the server. To use the tools, first launch the Sockso server in non-GUI mode by entering ./linux.sh -nogui. Once Sockso is running, you can enter the Sockso commands at the command line. For example, the coladd and coldel commands let you add tracks or delete tracks from your collection. To do so, just add a path to the command line. The collist command shows you which directory you are currently sharing.
In addition, you can configure Sockso at the command line. proplist gives you an overview of configurable parameters. propset lets you modify individual options. For example, propset uploads.enabled yes enables uploads.
External Access
To give your friends Internet access to your Sockso music collection, you must tell them the URL shown at the bottom of the Configuration Manager window. The URL includes the IP address assigned to your machine when you opened the Internet connection, a colon, and the port number. By default, the Sockso server runs on port 4444.
If your computer is behind a firewall, you'll need to configure the firewall to pass traffic to the Sockso server system. Please note that changing a firewall setting on your DSL router can open up a gaping hole for attackers; make sure you do not disable any existing security settings. See your firewall documentation for more on securely forwarding traffic to the internal network.
Sockso is an especially good choice for heterogeneous networks because it can play music in almost any browser on a multitude of platforms. Despite the extensive feature set, the Sockso web interface requires very little in the line of configuration. Don't forget you need a license for any music you serve up outside your home network. Failure to respect licensing agreements might get you into trouble with the music industry.

Big D provided two tents, tables, chairs, plates, flatware, glasses, and more for our wedding. They were always very easy to work with in the process of getting quotes. Anytime I sent revisions (usually in the late evening) they always sent a revised quote back to me early the next morning.
One of the reasons I chose Big D over other companies is that I really wanted a pole tent. I did a lot of research about pole tents vs. frame tents. Some tent companies out there (especially the ones that primarily cater toward the wedding world) don't offer pole tents because, they say, the center pole gets in the way. For me, I think the center pole and seeing the interior tent structure is what makes being in the tent fun! Also, the center pole provided structure to connect our lighting.
The only minor hiccup was that the inside of the tent ceiling was a bit dirtier than I expected. I called and they didn't hesitate to send a crew out to clean it the next day. The tents ended up going up on a Thursday, being cleaned on Friday, and the wedding was Saturday. They were able to clean the tent without spraying water everywhere. There was no mess. I was very impressed and it looked great.
I have a review on Yelp too where you can see pictures.

We rented tables, chairs, glasses, and table clothes for our wedding reception. Everything we rented was great quality and exactly what we wanted. We changed our order a few times, and Big D was always very quick to respond and update our contract. Also, the delivery and pick up were a great perk. Every person we came into contact with at Big D's was very friendly and professional. We will definitely use Big Ds for any rentals we need in the future.

Big D was wonderful - very competitively priced for the DFW area and someone actually answered the phone each time I called!! Originally, we planned on using Big D for a dance floor. As time went on, we had to call and add a dozen round tables - it was no issue at all and I promptly received an email with an updated contract. Two days before our outdoor December wedding, we were forced to give in to the weather forecast and call Big D to add a 40x80 tent. Again - not even an issue as far as they were concerned & I got an email almost immediately with the changes. The day before, the delivery truck arrived within the given window (I even received a phone call letting me know they'd be there within 15 minutes) and the 2 men got right to work setting things up. They worked in drizzling rain to erect the tent and stayed until everything was completed. Big D was wonderful about staying in touch with me, answering any crazy question I had, and even offering us a partial refund when the dance floor we ordered was too big to fit in the last-minute tent. They made my experience stress-free and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

The folks over at Big D Party Rentals were very accommodating in providing what I needed, including a near-last-minute change. They were quick to respond to any inquiries I had during the rental process and thoroughly researched the questions I asked that they did not immediately know the answer to. We had an issue with a cooler leaking, but I informed them of this and they happily credited my account for the full value of the rental. Later, it came to light that our coordinator had improperly used one of the rented chafing dish lids, rendering it unusable in the future. Pete was able to find a replacement part at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire unit, so I am very grateful for that!

They worked with us very much for delivery and pick up of our rentals (we had to be in and out within a 24 hour period!). Items arrived a little off schedule, but not bad. They picked up right on time. Our only complaint was that some of the linens arrived with stains on them and weren't in the size we requested, but they were pressed and ready to go otherwise.

I rented white garden chairs for my outdoor ceremony. The price was exceptional and the chairs were in excellent condition. The owner and staff was extremely helpful and nice. I was very pleased with the service I received from this company and would definitely recommend them. I was lucky to find them when I did. They were also able to help me with referrals for backdorps for the ceremony. Big D Party Rental is a great company, with a caring staff, excellent products and service, and reasonable prices. I can honestly say I received what I paid for plus a lot more.

In an interview with Melinda Gates on the BBC, the 82-year-old billionaire said he was optimistic the United States would survive the fiscal cliff, and that the economy would thrive because women's talents were finally being utilized.
"Fifty per cent of the talent in the country, we've pushed off in the corner for almost 200 years," he said. "Now that we're . . . starting to use 100 per cent of our talent, it makes me very optimistic."
Buffett added that the U.S. still had a ways to go in reaching gender equality, but he had seen great gains since he was a boy with two sisters in the 1930s.
"The hope was that they would marry well. The hope with me was that I would fulfill my potential, whatever it might be," he said.
"I saw two human beings with enormous potential and it was just assumed that they could be a nurse, they could be a secretary, they could be a flight attendant . . . What a waste of human talent."
Gates, a fellow philanthropist and advocate for women's rights, interviewed the billionaire as a "guest editor" on BBC's Today radio program. Buffett, the world's third-richest man, has supported global access to contraception.
"Women have been subjugated for time immemorial and only recently have they started achieving control over their bodies," he said. "I think it's enormously important that a woman have a real say in family planning."
The wealthy investor, often called the "Sage of Omaha," also said he was confident that a deal would be reached between U.S. legislators to avert the "fiscal cliff" crisis.
"Each party would like to have any decrease in expenditures or increase in taxes blamed on the other party . . . In the end, 535 people in Washington will not thwart the wishes of 312 million Americans."
He added the United States is richer than it ever has been, with a GDP per capita of nearly $50,000, but that the country has "overpromised" and "undertaxed."
"We'll be able to overcome this problem. America's faced a lot tougher problems than this one and we'll get it solved."

LAWRENCEVILLE - A Duluth man was hospitalized Thursday evening with minor injuries after a home-cooked meal got out of control.Gwinnett firefighters responded just after 6:30 p.m. to a report of a house fire with an injury at 1889 Noblin Woods Trail in Duluth. Once inside, firefighters found a man with minor hand injuries caused by exposure to hot grease. The man had been cooking on a kitchen stove when a grease fire ignited. He then attempted to move a pan off the stove and was splashed by grease, said Gwinnett County Fire Department spokesman Lt. Thomas Rutledge. The man was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville for further evaluation. The fire was out when firefighters arrived after sending light smoke throughout the house, Rutledge said. No extension of flames or structural damage was reported. "Never attempt to move a burning pan from the stove," Rutledge said. "Have a portable fire extinguisher close by in the kitchen."

Men's Basketball Home
Home of the Spartan Men's Basketball Team. Come back to see all the latest scores and game summaries. Remember, if you can't make it to campus for the game, you can still watch the Spartans play at home live online!
In a game Head Coach Mike Holmes called, "One of our more technically sound performances," Des Moines Area used blistering outside shooting to keep a gap on Southwestern Wednesday, taking the contest 83-65. Despite its own solid offensive performances, including eight of nine from the floor from Elliott Hamdeed and three three-point goals from Jared Theis, Southwestern could not cash in on its plan to force outside looks from the Bears.
Des Moines Area was 20-26 from the floor and 10 of 21 from behind the arc. Five rebounds from Mataika Koyamainavure paced the Spartans. Southwestern next plays Saturday at Ellsworth. Tip is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Due to travel conditions, the Spartan's game with Clinton was postponed Wednesday and moved to Monday, February 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Clinton.
With an uncharacteristic 15 miscues in the first half leading to turnovers, Southwestern could not gain ground on talented Iowa Lakes in the second half, falling 64-40 in Creston Saturday. With solid defensive possessions keeping them in striking distance, the Spartans tried in vain to get things clicking on the offensive end; however, cold shooting and ball mistakes forced the home team into an 18-point halftime deficit.
In the second half, the Spartans protected the ball better and were more efficient offensively, at one point reducing the lead to 10 on a three-point goal from the corner by Tanner Kellogg; however, Elliott Hamdeed fouled out of the game with quick back-to-back violations, and Southwestern could inch no closer despite big defensive rebounds from Mataika Koyamainavure and a solid all-around second half from Jared Theis.
The Spartans travel twice this week. Wednesday, February 5, they will be in Clinton for a 7:30 tip.
Southwestern got a win they needed in a 65-56 victory over Grand View Friday night, January 24, in Creston. The first half was a back and forth battle, with the Vikings jumping out to an 8-2 advantage, but then the steady attack led by Elliott Hamdeed and Tanner Kellogg began to bring the Spartans closer. With some foul problems for Mataika Koyamainavure and Larry Mason, however, Grand View led at the half, 28-27.

He said Croydon is the economic powerhouse of south London and was pleased with the town's plans to build 9,500 new homes over the next five years.
Richard Plant, chairman of the Develop Croydon Forum, said: "It is a remarkable growth from the eight founding members who formed Develop Croydon in the depths of recession.
"Those eight founding members showed their belief in Croydon when times were bad.
"They saw a need to spread a message and over the past five years we have grown as others have come to believe in that message as well."

Panel Discussions - Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Denmark, IPI Co-host Meeting on Climate Change as Security Threat
On September 22nd, IPI and the Danish government co-hosted a high-level dialogue on the nexus of climate change and international security.
Moderated by Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller, whose opening remarks are available for download, the event heard presentations by climate change experts before the floor was opened to environment and foreign ministers from states around the world.
Terje Rød-Larsen, IPI president, echoed sentiments expressed by many participants in saying that the event ought to complement the parallel efforts at the UN on the issue. Indeed, the timing of the dialogue held at IPI's Trygve Lie Center allowed member states to begin to build consensus on climate change ahead of December 2009's Copenhagen conference on the subject.
Following presentations by Oli Brown of the International Institute for Sustainable Development, and David O'Connor of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, those present discussed the various facets of climate change as a challenge to security, putting forward ideas on how to tackle it both nationally and multilaterally.
The following areas of agreement emerged:
• Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today; anticipation and the development of early-warning mechanisms will be very important;
• While not a traditional "military" security challenge, climate change represents a threat multiplier, which has the potential to exacerbate existing security problems;
• Existing institutions must be upgraded to cope with climate change, or else new ones need be created;
• Migration as a result of extreme weather events caused by climate change will increasingly represent a threat to security; and
• Migration will likely be the issue to force countries to act sooner rather than later.
The meeting was held under the Chatham House Rule.

City sets higher tax rate
Date: July 23, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A split City Commission voted Wednesday evening to approve a higher millage rate.
The move was expected, because city management suggested at its preliminary budget workshop July 9 that the city institute a partial "rollback" rate. State law allows local governments to raise, or rollback, the millage rate to allow them to collect as much tax money as it did the previous year.
The vote was 3-2 in favor of the higher rate. Mayor Kelly Kirschner and Commissioner Terry Turner were the two dissenting votes. Both felt it would be too much of a hardship on the city's taxpayers.
The city's current millage rate is 2.7771. City leaders are recommending next year's rate be 2.9115 mills.
One mill equals $1 in property tax for every $1,000 of assessed value, so a home worth $300,000 would see an increase of $40 next year. However, most homeowners will still see a decrease in property taxes.
Because property values decreased by more than 10% this year, that $300,000 home would have been worth $331,000 last year and would have been assessed $86 more in taxes last year had property values remained steady.
