Another Look at the 2010 Yankees Payroll
I thought it was time to take a look at the Yankees 2010 payroll again since they seem pretty much set with the roster right now. They could add one more piece, likely an outfielder, but even that is not guaranteed. We don't have salary for everyone yet, so the young players who are not arbitration ...

Another Yankees 2010 Payroll Update
We've done this a couple of times already this offseason. Once after the Yankees got Curtis Granderson and again when they added Nick Johnson.

"Best healthiest muffins ever! If you had a sweet tooth you can add 1/4 cup brown sugar but they are great even without it.

From the Office of State Senator Glenn Hegar, District 18
For Immediate Release July 27, 2009 Contact: Lisa Craven(512) 463-0118
Katy, Texas — Today, Texas State Senator Glenn Hegar denounced the United States Senate for its failure to protect the second amendment rights of concealed carry permit holders last week. On Wednesday, the Senate voted down an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act which would have instituted a reciprocity requirement in federal law to allow concealed handgun licensees to move lawfully across state lines while in possession of their legally owned firearms. Even though the measure had the support of a majority of senators, it fell two votes short of the 60 votes needed for passage.
"I strongly condemn the vote cast by 39 United States Senators against the proposed reciprocity agreement, Hegar said. Concealed handgun licensees are law abiding citizens who have cleared exhaustive background checks and subjected themselves to other stringent regulationsthey are certainly not criminals, in fact data clearly demonstrates that CHL holders commit crimes at a far lesser rate than do non-CHL holders, Hegar added.
Senator Hegar said that he applauded the 58 Senators who recognize that law-abiding Americans have the right to protect themselves whether they are in their home state or visiting another. Both Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn of Texas voted in favor of the proposal.
The reciprocity amendment in the United States Senate was offered by Republican Senators John Thune of South Dakota and David Vitter of Louisiana and was carefully drafted to recognize that the disparate laws of various states should be respected, with the receiving state's law prevailing on points of disagreement. Senator Hegar said that the proposal showed further deference by not authorizing concealed carry within the only two states that do not permit such (Illinois and Wisconsin).
"The death of the Thune/Vitter amendment at the hands of the radical anti-gun lobby is truly disheartening, Hegar said. I am reminded that the same fate befell two of my own bills during the last two sessions of the Texas Legislature and I am disappointed that the more than five million concealed handgun licensees in the United States will continue to senselessly be denied the right to protect themselves and their families as they travel across our great nation despite the fact that all but two states allow such constitutionally prescribed self-protections. When we travel out-of-state we should not be forced to leave behind our right to self-defense," Senator Hegar said.
Senator Hegar has long been a champion of protecting Texans second amendment rights and in 2005 he authored legislation in the Texas House of Representatives much like the amendment just considered by the United States Senate. Unlike the federal legislation, Senator Hegar's measure successfully passed the legislature and modified Texas law to ensure that concealed handgun license holders from other states would be allowed to protect themselves while traveling in Texas (House Bill 1066, passed as an amendment to House Bill 3477). Prior to Hegars legislation, Texas had reciprocity agreements with just 16 states. Today, thanks to his efforts, Texas has reciprocity agreements with 40 states.
Hegar said he has continued his fight to stop the erosion of second amendment rights and in the last two legislative sessions has introduced legislation to prevent employers from prohibiting their employees from storing legal firearms in their locked vehicles while parked in their employer's parking lot. While the measure passed the Texas Senate this session, it was one of many bills killed by Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives during their efforts to stop protections against voter fraud. Senator Hegar has said that he will continue to introduce the measure in future legislative sessions until Texans have the ability to protect themselves while traveling to and from work.
Senator Hegar served two terms in the Texas House of Representatives and now represents Senate District 18 in the Texas Senate. He is a sixth generation Texan, and earns a living farming rice and corn on land that has been in his family since the mid 1800's. He resides in Katy, Texas with his wife Dara, and their three children, Claire, Julia, and Jonah.

-Very kind and helpful personal. -Very good location. (Near the 7. track) -Nice view, nice restorant, and lobby bar. -Ski room in the hotel. -Closed car parking.
-If you are at the last floor it's not so confortable to walk in the room because of the geometry of the roof. -There are not hair dryers in rooms. -Lobby bar is very small and almost always busy after 18:00.
underground parking with elevator ( only for small cars)
reception stuff unprofessional,average breakfast , expensive mini market .
Tasty food, spacious rooms, beautifull location near by the ski slopes
The bathroom was smelly
Especially Thé attitudes of the waitress of the excalibur restaurant and the guy at the skiwardrop were beyond the expectations. They were great.
It is pretty weird that there were no hairdrier at the rooms. You have to book it in advance from reception.
Access to slopes
They provide two small coach to sit in lobby maksimum 4 people can sit there, beside lobby there is a cafe . Actually its a part of lobby... Waiter comes and forces you to order something.. İt was really bad beahviour... And rude... You are in the lobby and you have to order something to sit there...
The place was clean, and it was close to the ski runs. The maid service was excellent. Our kids loved the goats in the corral in front of the complex.
The unit I was assigned was on the fourth floor, and there was not an elevator in that wing of the hotel. We had to hike 200+ stairs numerous times daily. After a full day of skiing battling those steps was the last thing we wanted to do. The beds were uncomfortable (maybe it is time to think about replacing the mattresses). Breakfast was ok - same exact options every day. When there isn't enough snow, the complex is NOT ski-in/ski-out as advertised. You would need to hike or drive to the nearest lift station. The front-desk staff did not know their own policies. At check-out, the front-desk lady tried to overcharge me additional 14 Euro per day for my 12 year-old kid when their policy clearly states that the kids 7-12 yrs of age are charged only 7 euro per day. When that did not work, she tried charging another 7 euro per day for my 4 year-old kid. I had to remind her again that their policy states that children between 0-7 stay free at the complex. The checkout experience was very uncomfortable as it had turned into a haggling match. I will not stay there again as there are other better alternatives in Pamporovo.

Today most manufacturers, even the largest like GM and Ford, subcontract many of their parts and assemblies to other companies. Like other manufacturers, AMC owned in whole or had an interest in many smaller companies that produced parts for them and other auto makers. AMC bought the following major parts from other major auto companies:
Steering columns (Saginaw, 1966-up)
Steering boxes (Saginaw, 1960-up manual, 1965-up power)
Carburetors (all years, mix of Carter and Holley, Motorcraft added in 1970)
Ignition Systems (all years, mix of Delco and Autolite points, 1975-77
Prestolite BID electronic, 78-88 Motorcraft electronic)
Charging and Starting Systems (all years, mix of Delco, Autolite and Bosch)
Other parts such as belts, hoses, tires, batteries, etc. have been purchased from outside sources by all manufacturers for many years. AMC has always made their own engines with only a few exceptions, and always built their own bodies.
AMC and V8 Engines
The first V8 AMC used was the Packard 320. Packard's "Ultramatic" automatic transmission was the only transmission available with this engine. It was used only in 1955 and some 1956 models. AMC had talked with Packard in the late 40's about possible merger. AMC officials still hoped this would happen and felt a cooperative venture would strengthen bonds between the two companies and pave the way. AMC and Packard agreed to use each other as parts suppliers --or so AMC thought. In reality Packard president James Nance felt he was doing AMC a favor by selling them engines and felt no obligations to purchase from them (Packard was still a healthy company in 1955). A few bids were sent over just for show, but were rejected as being too high. This took place early in the hand-shake agreement.
This incensed AMC president George Mason so much that he ordered his engineers to develop a V8 engine as soon as possible (the hand-shake agreement was meant to foment trust between the two companies -- we see how that worked!). In order to do this AMC hired former Kaiser Engineer Dave Potter. He had already worked on V8 designs at Kaiser and was able to have an engine ready for installation in a vehicle in less than 18 months!
In order to meet the short development time the engine couldn't be cutting edge technology. Instead it used all proven design and build techniques. It was on a par with other V8s of the time, but not the then-new, cutting-edge Chevrolet small block (also introduced in 1955). In other words the engine was relatively bulky and heavy for its displacement, but very strong. There wasn't time to build and test cast rods and crankshafts so forged parts were used. With the bulk of the block and forged crank and rods, this proved to be an exceptionally strong engine. Today a few racers have discovered this and are using them for high boost turbo charging. The only thing required is custom forged pistons -- the crank and rods are as strong or stronger than aftermarket performance parts after a little preparation.
The only drawback to the design was the heads. They used conventional vertical overhead valves. With the valve going straight down into the head there was limited room -- the valves could only be so big before shrouding affected flow. The block was capable of supporting over 400 cubic inches, but the heads would need to be redesigned to support large enough valves. Only slightly larger valves can be installed in these heads, and it may not be worth the cost. The turbo racers mentioned earlier overcome valve size somewhat with boost -- up to 23 psi -- but limit displacement to near stock, only boring to take out wear.
Note that Chevrolet didn't make their small block 327 until 1962. The early AMC V8 more closely resembles the Chevrolet 396 big block, though there are very notable differences. This is as close to a "big block" as AMC ever made.
AMC engineers knew that the heavy V8 couldn't compete with more modern small blocks introduced by the competition (Chevy in 55, Chrysler 55, Ford 63). The heavy engines weren't in line with AMC's economy image either, though they were very much responsible for the Rambler's reliability and smoothness reputations.
AMC started development on a new V8 shortly after the first was in full production. The new engine, introduced in mid 1966, shared some features of modern small blocks and others more common with big block of the era. It had wide bore centers comparable to a big block. This made the block a little longer but provided plenty of room for future growth and increased stability. For this reason some publications call it a "mid block". It had a Buick style oil pump made into the timing cover. The distributor was driven off the camshaft via a gear that bolts to the front of the camshaft. The oil pump drive shaft was slotted to fit a tang on the end of the distributor shaft.
A 390 cubic inch performance model was introduced for the 1968 AMX. This used the same dimensions as the 290 and 343 but had thicker main bearing webs for added stiffness in that area. AMC never produced a factory four bolt main bearing engine as they felt the two bolt cap was adequate, but they did cast the webs thick enough to be drilled for aftermarket four bolt main caps for racing purposes. To keep high reliability with the longer stroke all 390 and larger AMC engines used forged crankshafts and rods. According to AMC engineers forgings were originally used due to inadequate time to test cast parts. AMC decided to keep the forgings, either due to low numbers of the engines or to retain high reliability. In either case an AMC 390/401 is much stronger than comparable small block 400 engines. No aftermarket cranks or rods are required for racing, just careful preparation of the stock parts.
Displacements were increased in 1970 by lengthening the deck height of the block by 0.16" for that much longer stroke. The 390 had built such a performance reputation that a new rod was made to keep a 390 for 1970. The stroke was changed only 0.11" for the big engine to bring displacement to 401 cubic inches for 1971. It was felt that more than 400 inches would be larger than needed. Even then the block had to be notched at the bottom of the bores to clear the crankshaft counterweights. The higher deck height meant a slightly wider intake was necessary.
The heads were also changed in 1970. 1966-1969 heads have rectangular exhaust ports. 1970 and later heads have a "dog leg" or "pork chop" shaped exhaust port. The larger port increased exhaust flow by around 50%, making AMC heads the best flowing production heads available. For this reason the Chrysler "Magnum" V8 head was based on the AMC design. The new ports also required new exhaust manifolds.
AMC V8 engines are generally classified as GEN-1, GEN-2, and GEN-3 (GEN for generation). The GEN-1 engine is the large 1955-66 250-327 block, GEN-2 the smaller 1966-69 290/343/390, and GEN-3 the taller 304/360/401 (and 1970 390) model. Although the GEN-2 and GEN-3 share essentially the same block except for the 0.16" deck height increase, the head, intake manifold, and exhaust manifold changes justify the separate designation. GEN-3 engines also use 1/2" head bolts, GEN-2 uses 7/16" head bolts. Heads will interchange between the two as long as the bolt size is accounted for. Step dowels are made to fit the better flowing GEN-3 heads on GEN-2 blocks, but for racing purposes it is better to drill and tap the older block for 1/2" head bolts. To put GEN-2 heads on a GEN-3 block the bolt holes must be reamed to fit 1/2" bolts.
Technically AMC didn't build a small block or big block, they just made one V8 engine with the exception of the short overlap in 1966. In reality the engines are compared with the competition. With this in mind the GEN-1 can be considered a "big block" because of its external dimensions and weight, and the GEN-2 and GEN-3 small blocks for the same reasons. Some publications have mistakenly called the 390 and 401 "big blocks" because of the displacements. Externally all GEN-2 and GEN-3 engines are the same size with the exception of height and width. All bolt patterns and external bolt on parts (except intake and exhaust manifolds) are identical. All internal parts interchange, though crankshaft and rod swaps may require custom pistons. GEN-1 parts are unique to that engine.
All 1970 and later AMC heads use the same port design. All 360, 390, and 401 heads are identical. These use 2.025" intake and 1.680" exhaust valves (early 70 used a 1.625" exhaust valve) and have the high flow "dog leg" exhaust ports. If building an AMC race engine simply order pistons for the desired compression ratio and forget the smaller chamber heads -- it won't cost any more (maybe less!) if the pistons need replacing anyway. 1970-early 71 304 heads use a different casting (3199517) but are essentially the same as the 360/390/401 heads. Ports may be slightly smaller and castings a bit thinner, but according to all AMC technical data 2.02"/1.62" valves can be installed. Combustion chamber volume for the 304 head is 52.20cc and produced a compression ratio of 9.0:1 with stock pistons. Later 304 heads have a 58.92cc chamber and produce 8.4:1 compression.
The bore size of GEN-1 engines is cast into the right rear of the block just behind the head. It's in the space between the head and bell housing flange. This area is very hard to see with the engine in the car due to the close proximity of the heater housing. It may be viewable with the help of a small inspection mirror, and might need cleaning with a small wire brush. The cubic inch size of all GEN-2 and GEN-3 engines is cast into each side of the block just behind the engine mount plates in the center of the engine. An exception is the 1970 thick cast 360 (used in Donohue Javelins to homologate the thick wall 360 block for Trans-Am racing) and some service replacement engines. Since the Engine Day Build Code or serial number is located on a removable tag this is the only reliable way to identify engine size. This does not apply to the Packard V8 engine.

Summary: Xander makes a new friend while on a supply run for Giles.
Scooby Doo
14 Apr 07
21 Apr 07
A Cursed Car?
He hit the dog with Uncle Rory's car, proving to Xander once and for all that the damned thing was cursed. Okay, so maybe it was only a little curse... but hey Hellmouth born here. Any curse should be cause for concern, right?
While one part of his brain was worried about his possibly demonic car, the rest was worrying over the shivering dirty and rather large dog he was checking over. He looked for any signs of an owner; tags, a distraught human hovering around, anything, but found none. Carefully as he could, he struggled to get the poor thing into the backseat of the car. He'd look around more for an owner, but this was a seriously creepy neighborhood and even though he wasn't in Sunnydale, it didn't pay to be stupid. Pulling out his cell he dialed up information and got the location of the nearest vet while the dog licked his free hand.
The vet tried to talk him into leaving the injured dog at the local animal shelter after patching up the luckily minor injuries the large animal had sustained.
"To be honest Mr. Harris, I've seen this dog around for at least a couple weeks. I highly doubt he has an owner running around, and he's clearly seen better days. I mean just look here at these slash marks on his hip. I can't think of any natural predator who would leave a mark like that, clearly the animal has been abused."
Xander turned a very brick-like color at the though of the friendly animal in front of him having been abused, until he got a look at the scars and shifted back to very pale. He wasn't an expert on much, but scars like that were quickly becoming his forte. The dog had clearly been clawed at by something demonic, and had managed to get away. Determination filled him. There was NO way he was gonna send a fellow demon fighter to what amounted to the animal version of death row.
"He's coming with me." Xander said firmly. "Patch him up. I'll leave my number, in case an owner pops up, but until they do, he's with me.
He checked on the package Giles had sent him for, just to make extra sure the various spell ingredients were safe and sound before settling into the drivers seat and contemplated the animal now taking up most of his backseat and looking at him with a pathetic expression that seemed to be a mix of gratitude and sadness.
It wasn't fifteen minutes into the drive when Xander began talking to his new friend. "By the marks on your legs I'm guessing you had a run in with something demonic. Did they get your owner I wonder?" Xander missed the shock in the dogs eyes as he swerved to avoid a pothole.
"Your probably hungry, but the vet said no food for a while cause of that medicine, so I'll wait till we get home then fix you up something to eat. Shit where are my manners? My name is Xander, and you're gonna be staying the famous Casa Harris, as long as you can stay away from my parents and not trash my basement. Oh and as long as you can put up with Spike. He's sort of my roommate for now. I'd tell you to bite him, cause really he deserves a good bite now and then, but I'm not sure what the chip says about animals and he might bite you back." Xander kept up a steady stream of conversation all the way back to Sunnydale, telling his new friend all about life on the Hellmouth.
It was nearly dawn when they drove past the city limits sign and Xander figured the ingredients Giles had sent him for would wait until after he had some breakfast and got his newest roomie settled in. He'd swap Giles the stinky bits for his chipped vampire, who'd been staying with Giles while he was gone, later.
It didn't occur to him to wonder just when Spike had become his vampire as he sat down a big bowl of water and most of the free sample bag of dog food the vet had given him when he found out he couldn't talk Xander out of keeping the dog.
He settled in for a quick nap, and after a few brief minutes, the dog joined him on the bed, curling up at the bottom, and taking up a surprisingly small amount of space for such a big animal.
He woke up to a dark basement a yip and a set of deep growls. Scrambling away from whatever demon had made its way into his home, Xander reached one hand for the lamp on the table, and the other for a weapon. What he found when the light came on was Spike in game face staring down his new dog, with blood on his hand.
"What'd you do to my dog you son of a bitch?" He demanded.
Spike stopped growling for a moment, tilted his head and looked at Xander. "I realize you have a thing for Kiefer Sutherland, but if you ever quote that movie at me again I'm throwing your copy in the trash compacter. To keep a bizarre movie moment going, unfortunately, it's my blood. He bit me."
"Dare I ask what you did?" Xander said slipping forward to take care of the bloody appendage dripping on his floor.
"I tried to wake you up. Watcher sent me over to see if you'd got back with his bits and bobs. Next thing I know, Cujo here took a bite outta me."
Xander went to the bathroom to grab the first aid kit, when he did the pair began growling again, this time Spike slid into game face and a startled dog yipped and ran to stand between the bathroom and Spike, hackles up and growl stronger now than ever. When Xander tried to get past the dog moved in front of him and refused to budge.
"Come on, I need to get his hand taken care of. It's ok, it's just Spike." Xander moved to go around the tense animal when he suddenly found himself standing face to face with it, paws helping the animal balance by pressing on Xander's shoulders.
To Spike and Xander's shock, the dog began to speak. "Rander, Rike is a rampire! Rike is a rampire! Ray rack."
Xander looked into Spike's equally stunned eyes for a moment before collapsing into the nearest chair. "Demon dates... cursed cars... vampire roomies... I can't even get a normal dog on the Hellmouth, can I?"
Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy own Xander and Spike, Hanna-Barbara owns Scooby, and I own nothing.

Eastern Promises: Lisa Pomerantz's Manhattan Home
When she moves her family out of Chelsea, the head of PR for Michael Kors discovers that her downtown style fits right in on the Upper East Side
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Master Bedroom
The family moved into a rental apartment uptown, and Pomerantz started looking for a new permanent home. She and her husband visited more than 100 apartment listings, but after having lived in an open downtown space, nothing on the Upper East Side felt right. "They all had classic layouts that made me want to knock down walls," she says. "I was thinking, What have we done?"
Just before the family left on a winter vacation, their real estate broker called about an opening in a three-year-old condominium building on a quiet block in the 70s, near York Avenue. The couple demurred. "I told her we really were only interested in prewar buildings, but she insisted, 'Please come,' " Pomerantz says.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Hlungwane, Bohani URN etd-04082010-115904 Document Title The impact of SADC regionalisation on intra-SADC trade Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr T Beney Supervisor Keywords
Date 2010-04-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract
The subject of international trade is as old as the human race. Countries have always needed goods they were unable to produce either because of lack of resources, lack of skills or just cost related constraints. On the other hand, countries have at one time or the other been able to produce more goods and services than they can consume. This situation led to people buying goods and services across national boundaries. As long as people have inhabited the earth, they have been engaging in some form of trading.
As the world evolved through civilisation, countries continued to exchange goods and services across borders. Goods and services can be exchanged for a price between two countries, a few countries in a region, countries in a continent and even all countries in the world.
The world multilateral trading system celebrated 60 years in operation in 2006. By this time over 55% of world trade was happening through Regional Trade Agreements with the European Union leading the way. Over 70% of trade in the European Union happens within the region. In the meanwhile, the South African Development Community (SADC) only conducts about 9% of its total trade within the region.
Against this background, SADC agreed to a Trade Protocol in 2000 with the objective of deepening regional economic integration. Amongst the objectives of the SADC Trade Protocol was to increase levels of exports and imports within SADC. This study looks at the impact of these regional economic integration efforts on intra-SADC trade. The study examines if the SADC intra-regional trade behaves in a consistent manner with economic theory, global trade trends and other regional formations of economic integration.

114 Whitwell Street, Quincy, MA 02169 617-773-6100
Patients and Quincy Community –
We are transitioning the way we deliver health care in Quincy.
We will close Quincy Medical Center (QMC) on December 31, 2014, and replace it with a more sustainable health care system to meet the community's needs. Our new health care network will include:
We are making this transition in Quincy because most patients are only using the hospital for outpatient services and non-critical emergencies.
We will be providing more details about our transition plan in the weeks to come. In the meantime, Quincy Medical Center will continue to operate as usual, until it closes on Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Patients and members of the Quincy community seeking information related to the transition should call 855-470-2482 to speak with patient information representatives.
We believe it is important that our employees have time to transition their careers while maintaining financial security and benefits. All employees will continue to be paid for the next 60 days and be offered comprehensive support services. We have created a QMC Employee Transition Support Team made up of Steward HR advisors, outplacement career consultants and employee assistance counselors. We believe there are currently job matches elsewhere in the Steward system for a substantial percentage of employees at QMC. We will continue to work with MNA, 1199SEIU and all of our employees to facilitate any and all opportunities.

|English Standard Version (ESV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household:
|1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family:
|2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
|2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;
|3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
|3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;
|4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
|4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
|5 All the descendants of Jacob were seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt.
|5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.
|6 Then Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that generation.
|6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died,
|7 But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.
|7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
|8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
|8 Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt.
|9 And he said to his people, "Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us.
|9 "Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us.
|10 Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land."
|10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country."
|11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses.
|11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.
|12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel.
|12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites
|13 So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel work as slaves
|13 and worked them ruthlessly.
|14 and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.
|14 They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly.
|15 Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,
|15 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah,
|16 "When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live."
|16 "When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live."
|17 But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live.
|17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
|18 So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this, and let the male children live?"
|18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, "Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?"
|19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them."
|19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, "Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive."
|20 So God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong.

That is just beautiful. I love everything about this chair. Great job.ReplyDelete
A D O R E ! and I love you even more for posting this right at the moment when I was despairing of how many coats of chalk paint I was needing to cover my bookcases... now I'm just going to sand the crap out of them and not bother with another coat of paint :)ReplyDelete
Love the chair. It is stunning. I think the pillow is perfect too. I really like the back with the fabric and the welting, makes the chair look so custom and expensive. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
She's gorgeous! The layers of paint and raw wood are beautiful.ReplyDelete
I'm in love! It's just beautiful! You should do a tutorial on upholstery, you did a great job... so custom!ReplyDelete
You won't have to worry about this one selling! Heck, if I lived closer I'd say, "Put my name on it!" :)
Fantastic redo!!!! That is one heck of a transformation!ReplyDelete
I knew you lived in the Pac NW! I could tell by some of the pics you posted of the outside of your house once. Must have been the garage redo. Where are you? I'm in Tri-Cities WA, but we are up in Spokane quite a bit.

If you're planning to impress this Valentine's Day with a romantic night in, you know that the evening hinges on the details. Mood lighting, place setting, and a suitably impressive recipe are all de rigueur for any Pinterest-er worth one's salt, but of equal importance is your wine choice. Instead of simply selecting a Tuscan Sangiovese to enjoy with rack of lamb, take time to pair it with a movie too! Below are some of the best Valentine's Day date movies (displayed in random order), which we've paired with a selection of wines to take your date to the next level:
29. January 2014 12:36
Alright, so it's the 29th of January, which means you've got 28 taxing days of your resolution under your belt. How's it going for you? If you're sticking to it, I salute you, but chances are that like almost everybody else, your goal for the New Year has been deserted.
Maybe that's because you found gluten hard to abandon after a lifelong romance or realized making it to the gym everyday is impractical given your hectic schedule. But whatever the reason is that your resolution didn't work out, you're not alone in this fiasco. It seems that on the first of the year, we are all setting ourselves up for failure because we refuse to be honest with ourselves.
That's why we should resolve to set better resolutions.

When John and I decided to get married four years ago, our five collective children lived in 5 different states and because of one thing and another, we were unable to set a date and place where all of them could be there. After agonizing over this we decided to elope in Las Vegas. Both of us were disappointed, but that's what we did. The officiant was a happy person who wanted to make it special. The long monologue of advice for a happy marriage included an offering about the "Shopping Cart of Life". We were admonished to only add things that were good for us, happy things that would enrich our life and nourish our marriage. Never put anything in that could spoil or cause decay to the rest of the ingredients in the shopping cart. We were very emotional during the ceremony and didn't listen carefully. Later when we talked about this advice we started to laugh at the analogy and wished we could remember all that was said. Instead we have adapted what we think was said to fit whatever is currently going on with us. It has grown and been elaborated on way beyond (maybe way beneath) what was meant to be good advice. It has become fodder for much good natured mockery. Actually the advice was very good. Recently we saw this little shopping cart and had to have it to remind us of our wedding day.
Five Things That Make Me Happy Today
1. Watching John set up his workshop. He has set up a back storage room of the basement with all his various saws and other manly tools and pegboard and cabinets to make it all convenient. He added ceiling lights bright enough to work under. He added a vacuum system for the dust he creates. He is happy. It makes me happy.
2. Facebook. Say what you will about it being a time waster, but I find it wonderful. I have grandkids,nieces and nephews. in-laws, old friends from high school and various other people in far flung parts of the US and Europe who normally would not have time to stay in touch. FaceBook makes it easy to say hi, drop a comment, see the pictures of the various kids, gardens, projects, performances, whatever that might have been missed.
3. The holidays are coming! I love Thanksgiving. I love Christmas. I love family.
4. I am so enjoying the current book I am reading. It is Centennial by James Michener. I read decades ago. My brother did sets for the mini-series on TV way back when. I enjoyed reading it then and even more now since I have been to the areas where the story is centered.
5. I am so grateful to my customers. You buried me in orders the past few days! Thank you! I am all caught up now and will resume my blogging.

**UPDATE: I called Target - the collection will be available online at 12AM PACIFIC time!**
**yet another UPDATE...see my updated review post: HERE**
images via nymag ... except for the g1 photos, taken by yours truly ;o)
I love the cardigans...not the dresses so much. But you know what I like most... the shoes that the models are wearing.
i like the cardigans..and the second dress you posted. too bad i can't get my hands on these pieces :(
glad we agree, and the shout out! :)
i love all the dress, shoes, tights, they are so cute and chic collections.
The Tulle! It calls to me! I think I love tulle even more than I love leather, and my feelings toward leather are very strong.
I wish we had target up here :(
haha I'm huge on tulle as well. i have been for the past few years even though my bf says tulle is for teenage girls whatever lol. Target has some great stuff at great prices for sure. I wish there are Targets here in Canada. I always check them out when I go down to the states :)
Do you want to know something absolutely despicable? The six Target stores within a twenty-five mile radius of my house (two of which are SUPER Target's, might I add) have stopped carrying the GO International Collections? Tell me, is that even legal??!!
Loving the tulle - so Carrie Bradshaw!! :)
Love that animal print dress!
Love all the looks! Great review!
I'm going to Target on Sunday! I love Rodarte but I love Target even more so this is a dream come true. The first leopard dress looks fab but I'm really looking forward to trying on the lace print one :]
the cardigans are awesome. Target, here I come!!!!
So first off ADORABLE blog! I am completely stoked for the Rodarte line for Target, I think that this is an awesome post.
Anyway, I wanted to leave a comment because I read your "about me" section and found it amusing that you were a pre-law student. I am a junior in college and have been on track to graduate with an Legal Studies and English double major. However, after interning full time in my dad's law firm this past summer I decided that although I am very interested in the law, I don't know if it is something I want to pursue as a career so I dropped my Legal Studies major to a minor. As far as deciding what I want to "do" when I'm older, I have always been very torn between fashion and law as they have been my two greatest interests. It's cool to see there is somebody out there equally as interested in the two as well!
gorgeous darling
love it, great inspiration
thanks for sharing as always
and thanks for the sweet comments
Oh my this collection is AMAZING ! Thank you so much for sharing ! How I wish we have Target here :(
I like many aspects about this collection. Thanks for sharing, it is very inspirational.
Yayyyyyyy, I'm so glad it wasn't a disappointment. I can't wait to see it in the store! I effing love tulle too.
One more reason for me to move to the USA!
I'm so excited to go check it out today! It looks amazing.
I'm a little suspicious, but the pictures look really nice! There is no Target where I live (I think the closest one is in Brooklyn or Queens?) so it looks like I will miss out.... and stores are not open in NJ on Sundays? Are you serious? I had no idea!!
OOOO thanks for the review! i'll def be checking this out at my local target!! I actually like Tulle, i think its fun and flirty but we'll see once I try some of the pcs on if I don't feel like a 5 y/o! haha.
ahhh!! i'm dying. the stores where i live never put these collections out on time. on the plus size, people don't seem to care about them too much so i end up scoring stuff on the clearance racks. anyways, great review!! i wondered if the cardigans were itchy and you answered that question. also wondered about sizing. i think i need a dress or two...
all the pieces you featured are really stylish. i would def browse target for stylish savvy priced pieces.
The blue dress and the animal dresses are amazing! xx
The cardis are nice, but the dresses are not my style. But then again, I don't typically gravitate towards dresses anyways :o)
I wish the UK had tagret :( And weird you don't shop on sunday! I love being able to do it, it's always quite though, cause not many people like doing it :) x
I love that black dress. Everything you posted here is so cute. I have not gone to Target yet to see this collection. I simply don't have money with the holidays coming up right now. Sigh. But hopefully there will still be some fab items left next month! :)
hmmm...i think i am like you and will have to see the items in person to decide if i like this collection or not. i do also love target though! you can find anything there!
Amazing first dress! ;))
Crap crap crap! with all my travel issues, I TOTALLY FORGOT! Going to the Target site RIGHT NOW!
The lace cardigan is pretty amazing!
ah, to be in canada and not be able to see any of that up close
I'm Not huge on tulle, but I did like the swimsuits and the "kimono print shirts". If it wasn't the dead of winter I might have bought the one of the swimsuits. The blue dress is DIVINE, but something that delicate would get ripped very easily so I resisted the urge to buy it. It was also very much a "small boobie" dress.
I really like that beige lace-y cardigan.
Hey great stuff, thank you for sharing this useful information and i will let know my friends as well.
I suggest this site to my friends so it could be useful & informative for them also. Great effort.
canada florist
Love all the looks!
Great Effort
amazing Costume..:-)
i love it all.. i am going to give order this dress for my Fiance ..
Great Effort
i love this blog..
Nice effort, very informative, this will help me to complete my task.

My hero "Chaz", I do really respect him and his great work. Too bad Rothstein got popped I could use Chaz to clean up the criminals at 1300 West Broward Blvd. He could make a hundred grand a year plus tips tax free. He has a better closure rate than my slugs.
His wife, Sonny Bono's widow, goes by Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack.(http://bono.house.gov/)
It is common for candidates to go by the names they are known as rather than their legal names. Why are you not attacking Clarence William Nelson?
It's hysterical that Connie Mack IV uses a baseball in his logo yet is not a baseball player. The closest he got to the major leagues was grabbing Ron Gant's balls when he was getting his ass kicked by the Major Leaguer.
Hooray. Yet another example of how our Congresscraps have one set of rules for themselves and another for the peasants.
Term limits!!!!!!
John Ellis Bush? aka Jeb Bush.
Plenty of people use nicknames for their first (or middle) names. Not many people make up a new last name for themselves.
again, just a first name nickname. i've never heard of anybody with a first and last name nickname.

Melissa Bank is one lucky lady.
Her first book, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, was published in 1999, when a girl could turn in a witty, rueful tale about a single girl looking for love without being instantly cast into the hot-pink purgatory known as ''chick lit.''
Back in those heady days, just after Bridget Jones and prior to the explosion of sexy, sassy tales packaged in Easter egg pastels, you could be a young, urban female writer exploring the life and times of a young, urban heroine bad boss, funny friends, vexing family, even the desire to meet and marry a good man and still have the critics take you seriously.
You didn't have to gild your manuscript with McSweeney's-esque footnotes or name-check Grandpa's shtetl; nor did you have to invite autobiographical comparisons by touting your time working for Anna Wintour or stapling your high-school yearbook picture to your novel's press kit.
So The Wonder Spot, Bank's bittersweet, tremendously winning return, isn't just a great read. It is a wake-up call, alerting the literary establishment that stories about young women's coming-of-age can still be enthralling, engaging, and deserving of their notice.
Our guide through this linked story collection is Sophie Applebaum of Surrey, Pa.: clear-eyed and smart-mouthed, an underachiever in a family of standouts. When we meet Sophie, she's being dragged to the bat mitzvah of a prissy cousin (''[She looks] like a long-stemmed rose!'' rhapsodizes Sophie's mother, to which our heroine replies, ''She looks like a piece of hair with hair''). Subsequent stories find her playing the plain-Jane friend of a campus beauty, working in publishing for her brother's ex-girlfriend, and having her heart broken by everyone from a nerdy neurologist to a motorcycle-riding bad boy. We watch Sophie boomerang from Surrey to New York City and back again, fail at love, flail in the workplace, struggle with friendships that never come together or slowly fall apart.
There are plenty of recurring themes and motifs from The Girls' Guide standard poodles, vintage typewriters, and charming big brothers all reappear. The heroines of both books endure the death of their father.
In addition, many characters seem blessed with the identical quippy sense of humor (when Sophie tells a beau that she knew her ex ''so long ago he had a different name,'' her boyfriend asks, ''Beelzebub?''). Will this trouble readers? Not a bit. It's a little disconcerting to find characters from both books calling take-out Chinese food ''Chinoise,'' but Bank more than makes up for any redundancies with the warmth and subtlety of her writing and dead-on, deadpan dialogue.
Chick-lit lovers accustomed to triumphant endings the inevitable appearance of the perfect man; the take-this-job-and-shove-it finales of The Nanny Diaries or The Devil Wears Prada might find the conclusion a slight letdown. We leave Sophie at a party with a new boyfriend, 10 years younger and ''full of hope,'' while she feels ''every pound of my weight, every year of my age.''
Sophie Applebaum's story might end while she's still groping toward her place in the world. Lucky for fans of smart, identifiable heroines who feel like our best friends, only better, Melissa Bank has definitely found hers.
