This documentation is valid for all versions of InstaImages.
Click here to see a video of the installation and setup
Install InstaImages like any other extension. For details on how to install extensions, look at the installation guide at the Joomla community. InstaImages installs as both component and editor button, all in the same package.
Setup Instagram
A bug in Internet Explorer stops the setup from working properly. Use Safari, FireFox or Chrome during the first setup
The first step to make the InstaImages get into action, is to setup Instagram to work with your website.
Go to your component menu and select Instaimages in the menu.
Before Instagram is setup, the page will display a message that asks you to configure Instagram.
Click on the settings button displayed on the upper right, to configure Instagram.
Configure Instagram to work with your app
Begin by copying the URI displayed in the Redirect URI box. This will later be used in Instagram. Next click on the Register your application link, to create a new app on Instagram.
You will now be redirected to the Instagram page for developers. To login as a developer, you simply use the same login details that you use to login to Instagram.
Create your application
When you're logged in as a developer on Instagram, you'll find a "register your application" button on the frontpage. Click on this button to create your application. If you don't see the frontpage, just go the the page http://instagram.com/developer/
In the upper right corner you click on the "register new client" button.
Fill in the following:
- Application Name - Choose an appropriate name for your application, for example My InstaImages
- Description - Write a few words that describe your application, for example "Displays Instagram images on my Joomla site".
- Website - The URL of your website, for example http://www.mywebsite.com
- OAuth redirect_url - the root URL of your website. Copy the Redirect URI from the InstaGallery module settings, and paste here. It is crucial that this adress is exactly the same as you have in the module settings, otherwise the extension will not work.
Authorize the application
Click on the Connect to Instagram button, and the app redirects you to Instagram where you must authorize the app to use your account. Just click on the Authorize button to complete the authorization. When the process is done, you just save your settings.
If all went well, you'll now see your recent shared images in Instagram.
Use InstaImages in Joomla articles
You can now use your images from Instagram in all your Joomla articles. Just enter any article, and you'll notice the Instagram button below the article editor. Use this button to insert InstaImages in your article.
A modal window will appear where you can click on the image to use. A great thing is that InstaImages will also get the image caption from Instagram automatically, so you don't need to enter this. Just click insert to use that image in your article.

At least 11 civilians and two US soldiers have been killed in violence across southern Afghanistan as Taliban fighters step up attacks ahead of a planned operation by Nato forces in the south.
Nine of the civilian deaths occurred when a roadside bomb struck a minibus in the city of Kandahar on Friday.
The vehicle struck the bomb on the main highway in Maywand, a district in Kandahar province, after leaving Helmand, Zalmai Ayobi, a provincial spokesman, told the AFP news agency.
"Deaths included women and children. Eight others were wounded," he said.
Five of the wounded were in critical condition and were airlifted by Nato forces to a military hospital. Three other injured were taken to a local Kandahar hospital, he said.
Nato acknowledged the two Americans' deaths, saying they were killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan on Friday.
The Afghan interior ministry condemned Friday's "barbaric attack by the terrorists" on the Toyota mini bus, blaming the incident on "enemies of Afghanistan" - a term often used to refer to Taliban fighters.
Deaths in Zabul
The other two civilian deaths occurred in Zabul, a province neighbouring Kandahar, when a suicide bomber dressed in a burqa detonated explosives in a shopping area of Shahjoy district, Mohammad Jan Rasoolyar, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said.
The blast also left 16 people wounded.
Kandahar is the focus of a massive build-up by US-led military forces trying to drive the Taliban from their homeland and end their bloody revolt, which began after the 2001 US-led invasion brought down their regime.
McChrystal: Kandahar operation 'might take time'
But in a sign of fresh difficulties in the war effort, General Stanley McChrystal, the top US commander in Afghanistan, acknowledged on Thursday that the campaign wouldmove more slowly than initially planned.
His forecast echoed comments by his deputy in the south, suggesting Kandahar is presenting a bigger challenge than expected, amid a shortage of Afghan security forces and scepticism among the local population.Bombs known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are the weapon of choice for fighting US-led Nato forces.
Fighters plant IEDs on roadsides to inflict casualties against Afghan and foreign troops.But usually detonated by remote control, the bombs can hit civilian vehicles.
IEDs and suicide attacks are the main cause of casualties for military forces in Afghanistan.

An E-rate funding increase is critical
to the success of many school districts, according to a new survey from the
consulting firm Funds for Learning.
The company released the results of its Funds For Learning 2014 E-rate
applicant survey at the ISTE 2014
conference in Atlanta last week. It was the fourth such survey from the company. Previous
surveys were conducted in 2008, 2009 and 2012.
Funds for Learning has shared the results of the survey with the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
the Universal Service Administrative Company
(USAC). The FCC is in the process of reforming the E-rate program, which helps
schools and libraries pay for Internet access, and this survey is intended to
give administrators and school technology leaders a voice in the E-rate reforms.
"The data serves to inform debate over the direction of the program and involve
those who haven't had an opportunity for their voices to be heard," according to
Funds for Learning.
Key findings from the survey include:
According to Funds for Learning, the most popular E-rate changes are raising
the funding cap, multi-year funding commitments and simplified application
The survey was conducted online through SurveyMonkey from May 20 to June 8,
2014. Respondents included 626 school and library technology leaders from 44

Thanksgiving is approaching, and as we think about the hearty feast that awaits us, it's important to celebrate the holiday by not just giving thanks – but showing thanks for what we have. Part of FedEx's way of showing our thanks is by giving back to the communities in need. For the one out of seven households across the U.S. that is food insecure, Thanksgiving has a deeper meaning.
Nov 22
For the eighth year, FedEx volunteers will team up with the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation and Operation Blessing to sort and package 45,500 pounds of frozen turkey and 110,000 pounds of fresh and canned produce for distribution at Harvest Feast. This annual event at FedExField distributes frozen turkeys and groceries to help local families celebrate Thanksgiving.
Dec 02
This is the fifth year FedEx Special Delivery joined forces with the Washington Redskins Harvest Feast, a food distribution event at FedEx Field. The program, supported by Operation Blessing distributes 36,000 pounds of turkey and 90,000 pounds of food to residents of Prince George's County, Maryland.This year more than 70 FedEx employees came together with more than 300 other local volunteers to help the community living around FedEx Field.

Enormous ergonomic help
I've been using glass mixing bowls my entire life. I now have arthritis and tendonitis in my hands, and was having trouble lifting and manipulating the bowls. These were incredible.I recommend this product.
Love these!
I wanted to finally replace the remaining 2 Corning mixing bowls that I got for my wedding shower 35 years ago. These bowls are amazing: colorful, grip the counter for hands- free use and are nice and deep. Don't wait so long to replace your switch these!I recommend this product.
Very functional bowl set!
I bought these to replace a set of heavy, ceramic mixing bowls and couldn't be happier! They come in perfect sizes and are super lightweight. The non-slip handles and spouts make it so easy to lift and pour. I also love the non-slip bases for stirring.I recommend this product.

Love these bowls
I already owned a single bowl of this line before ordering this set; that one has been my go-to bowl among the many I own. These three are equally perfect as well as sized for a multitude of kitchen tasks. They grip the counter and don't spin away while mixing, They are ergonomically comfortable for holding in any position and they wash beautufully by hand or in the machine. I find a simple swipe with a soft sponge does the job. Get these bowls!I recommend this product.

Terrific Shopping Experience and Product
I love these bowls! I had a problem before with bowls being too heavy for me to lift but these bowls are light weight and easy to pick up and hold. They don't slip and slid on the counter and they have a rubber handle grip and a pour spout. I love, love, love these bowls!I recommend this product.

Great mixing bowls!
I bought these bowls because I needed a super-large one for making bread and mixing assorted other large quantities. The entire set is superb. I like the non-skid bottom surface and the ease of using the handle. I highly recommend the entire set.I recommend this product.

Another bought for my son . a beginning cook
I am not a huge fan of "plastic" bowls. BUT ... these are very attractive and in a nice range of sizes. My main gripe is that they scratch and/or stain easily so using a mixer or even a metal tool to blend ingredients can result in scratches. I haven't used these myself, but I'm tempted to get a set. They're lightweight, they have hand grips and pouring spouts, and they have non skid bottoms. Really NICE bowls if one can remember to treat them carefully.I recommend this product.

Great set
I bought these bowls to replace another set (not Oxo) that I loved, but the melamine cracked in 2 of the 3 bowls I had which made them useless. These bowls are much sturdier and have better gripping power. Nest nice and are good sizes. I wish they were a bit deeper though..the large one is very wide . All in all so far so good.I recommend this product.

Sauber rookie Esteban Gutierrez is hoping for a more "consistent" weekend in Montreal after a trying time in Monaco.
Dealing with the rain in qualifying last Saturday, the Mexican driver could only manage 19th place on the grid as he carried over a three-place grid penalty from Barcelona.
Gutierrez, though, did improve as the 78-lap grand prix took place, working his way up to 13th.
However, it was another weekend without a first World Championship point for the Sauber driver, who is hoping for better in Canada.
"So far I have driven once at the track on Ile Notre-Dame, and that was in 2007 in Formula BMW," he said. "It went quite well with one podium finish and a fourth place.
"It's a really nice circuit and I like it a lot. The track is slippery and tyre management will yet again be very important, which gives us an opportunity to put a good strategy together.
"Obviously overtaking will be easier than in Monaco, which can benefit us. It's hard to judge how competitive we will be, as it will also depend on the weather.
"Hopefully with better conditions we can have a more consistent weekend, which will help us to progress and make the most of our potential."

Click below and allow Mr. Green to explain.
Official Rules for the
An Abundance of Covers Contest
Open to residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia, age 13 or older.
How to Enter:
To enter the An Abundance of Covers Contest (the "Contest"), entrants must submit their design, including illustrations and type, for the cover of a trade paperback edition of An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. Entries must be in color and a trim size of not larger than 5-1/2″ x 8-1/4″, and must be sent electronically via email in a jpeg file format only, a minimum of 72 dpi (dots per inch). The email to which the entry is attached must include the contestant's full name, email address, age, mailing address and telephone number. Entries should be sent to: email@example.com. Contest begins October 19, 2011 and all entries must be received no later than November 21, 2011, 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time. There is no limit to the number of designs entered per contestant; however each design may be submitted only once. The sole determinant of time for the purposes of receipt of a valid entry will be the computer servers of Speak, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group, a division of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. ("Sponsor"). Proof of transmission (screenshots or captures, etc.) does not constitute proof of receipt.
Entries will not be returned. By entering the Contest, contestants agree to abide by these rules, and represent and warrant that the entries are their own and original creations, and do not violate or infringe the rights, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademark rights or rights of publicity/privacy, of any third party. This means that your entries must be created by you, whether they are drawn, painted or photographed. If you use other design elements or images from the Internet, you need to make sure the images are in the public domain (such as free-use images available from Wikimedia Commons or free Clip Art websites) or you will need to get permission from the owner of the copyright to use those images. This may be the owner of the website, but could also be someone else; it is your responsibility to find the copyright owner and obtain permission for this use of their work. Just because an image is on the Internet does not mean that that you or Penguin Young Readers Group will be able to use it. If you are not sure whether or not you need permission to use an image from the Internet, talk to your parent or guardian. Once we select a winning entry, we will notify the contestant and ask for written documentation that the contestant has the right to use all elements of the cover design. If the contestant does not have permission to use any part of the cover design, or if permission to use any part of the cover design cannot otherwise be obtained, that entry will be considered ineligible and we will then select another winning entry. These restrictions regarding permissions also apply to "runner up" entries; we will not post any entries on our website unless we are sure the contestant has obtained all required permissions. Contestants further grant to Sponsor the right to edit, adapt, publish, copy, display and otherwise use their entries for purposes of this Contest without further permission, notice or compensation, including display on Sponsor's and/or the author's websites, except where prohibited by law.
Entries are void if they are in whole or in part illegible or incomplete. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for late, lost, incomplete, illegible or misdirected email entries.
Sponsor and its parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies are not responsible for technical, hardware or software malfunctions of any kind, lost or unavailable network connections, or failed, incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate, garbled or delayed electronic communications caused by the sender, or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in this Contest which may limit the ability to play or participate, or by any human error which may occur in the processing of the entries. If for any reason the Contest is not capable of being conducted as described in these rules, Sponsor shall have the right to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the Contest. In the event of a dispute over the identity of an online entrant, entry will be deemed submitted by the authorized holder of the email account.
On or about January 6, 2012, one winner will be selected by a qualified panel of judges including author John Green and others chosen by Sponsor.
Entries will be judged on content and creativity and how well the design reflects the story, with equal weight being given to each criterion. The decisions of the Sponsor with respect to the selection of the winners, and in regard to all matter relating to this Contest, shall be final and binding.
Winner will be notified via email and/or telephone.
One winner will be chosen to have his or her cover design used on a trade paperback edition of An Abundance of Katherines, by John Green, being published in May/June 2012, along with a design credit and a copy of the book featuring his/her winning cover illustration (Approximate Retail Value: $9.99).
In the event that there is an insufficient number of qualified entries or if the Sponsor determines in its absolute discretion that no or too few entries meet the quality standards established to award the prizes, Sponsor reserves the right not to award the prizes.
Open to residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia, age 13 or older. Employees of Sponsor and its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates or other parties in any way involved in the development, production or distribution of this Contest, as well as the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings, children) and household members of each such employee and the author are not eligible to participate in the Contest. Void where prohibited by law. All state and local restrictions apply.
No cash substitution, transfer or assignment of prizes allowed. In the event of the unavailability of a prize or prizes, Sponsor may substitute a prize or prizes of equal or greater value.
All expenses, including taxes (if any), related to receipt and use of prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner.
Winner may be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release. The Affidavit must be returned within fourteen (14) days of notification or winner will forfeit their prize and another winner will be selected. If a selected winner is under eighteen (18) years of age, his/her parent or legal guardian will be required to sign the Affidavit. Should the ARV equal or exceed $600.00, winners shall be required to provide a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to Sponsor for issuance of a 1099 Form.
By accepting a prize, the winner grants to Sponsor and the author to use his/her name, likeness, and biographical information in advertising and promotional materials, including on Sponsor's and author's websites, without further compensation or permission, except where prohibited by law.
By participating in the Contest and/or accepting the prize, contestants release Sponsor, its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies or the agencies of any of them and the author of the book promoted hereby from any liability, injury, damages, cost or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or connected to participation in this contest or the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prizes.
Any dispute arising from this Contest will be determined according to the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law principles, and the entrants consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County and agree that such courts have exclusive jurisdiction over all such disputes.

John Green (Paper Towns, Looking for Alaska) and David Levithan (Boy Meets Boy, Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist) team up to write the story of Will Grayson …and Will Grayson. Both Wills live in different suburbs of Chicago and lead completely different lives. One lives in a posh neighborhood, the other doesn't. One is gay, the other isn't. One is indie, and the other is, well, wrinkled. By a weird twist of fate, the two Will Graysons meet in downtown Chicago while chasing different schemes of love. Check out the newest book of our Pass the Book author, John Green, when it comes out in April.
Are you a fan of John Green? Be sure to come to the Central Library on Monday March 15th. John will be speaking about the vlogs he does with his brother Hank. The program starts at 7pm and will be in the auditorium. Be sure to bring your copies of John's books so he can sign them. See you there!
Other books by David Levithan:
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (written with Rachel Cohn)
Other books by John Green:
Don't forget the Pass the Book program continues through the week of Match 7th, 2010. Don't know about Pass the Book? It's a virtual teen reading program where the library hands out specially tagged copies of John Green's three books, Looking for Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines, and Paper Towns. After you get a copy, you will do three things:
* First, visit the Pass the Book website, , to register your copy. When you register the book you'll be given the option to leave a comment and upload a photo of the book.
*Second, of course, read the book.
*And third, when you're done, pass the book on to someone else with instructions to do the same: Log it in, read it and Pass it On!
Now that we're halfway through the program, we want to know what you think. What is your favorite part of the program? What do you think we can do to make the program better? Which book did you like the best?
Would you like to participate? Check with your branch to see if there are any books available. Be sure to log on to Pass the Book to register your book. And don't forget to click on the dashboard link to watch your book move around the city!
Want to join a book club that goes beyond reality? The Pass the Book program @ IMCPL is just for you! It's easy to do and you don't need anything to participate.
The event will kick off this Friday October 2nd at the First Friday Event at Central Library. After Friday you can get a special Pass-the-Book copy at your local IMCPL branch or–starting October 5th–at five Indianapolis schools.
When you get your copy you log it in at www.imcpl.org/pass , read it, and pass it on to a friend. When you log and pass the miles traveled will be "logged" and you can see where the book you had has traveled and what other readers thought about it.
The books are all by John Green, an Indianapolis native. The three titles; An Abundance of Katherines, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska. All three books are hilarious, quirky and wildly entertaining. Once you read one you'll want to read the other two.
REMEMBER: The books that you'll pass around, once the program starts on Friday, will be specially prepared paperbacks, NOT the copies that you can request off this blog page.

Running a business that requires making something here (in the US) is a challenge. And, like spotting a knitter in the airport, as soon as I learn that someone is making a product and selling it, I want to talk to them. Compare notes. Commiserate. Celebrate.
One such person/company is Portland (Maine) clothing designer Brook There whose shop you'll find on Wharf Street.
In a world where short-term thinking too often rules, I appreciate Brook and her partner, Daniel Pepice's, thoughtful approach to their businesses (his is Seawall), sourcing environmentally friendly materials, using hands-on production, building a company for the simple satisfaction of making it work . It takes creativity to develop a strong business, there's no single way to make a company thrive, adapt, inspire. Granted, it's not always as much fun as thinking about shape and color, but a good business is a lot more than numbers. Especially if you're thinking about how it can contribute something good to the neighborhood (or world), not just how much it brings in at the end of the quarter. (Though that matters, too, of course.)
As fellow small business/artisans, we thought it would be fun to collaborate.
In keeping with a guiding principle for Brook's Spring '13 collection, transparency, Quince knitted the Truffle, a gausey shrug in Sparrow (color Truffle) to pair with Brook's Cream and Melon sundress. The Truffle Shrug's shape, loose and flowing, is taken from another Brook piece. Love how it looks draped over the fitted dress.
More about Brook in the interview that follows:
When did you get interested in designing clothing? When/how did you learn to sew? What was your first project?
I started making clothes for myself when I was twelve. My mom bought me vintage patterns from the 1950s and '60s and I made a series of dresses. She taught me the basics, and then I learned techniques from books. I started designing clothing when I was 15 or 16. I was obsessed with fashion and sewing as a teenager and young woman, and that matured into a desire to run a business.
How do you think about clothing design?
Mostly, I'm inspired by what I want to wear, which is how I want to feel…do I want to feel feminine? Secure? Warm? Free? That feeling inspires a style or series of styles.
How do clothes relate to a person's body, sense of well-being?
I think comfort, which is often related to good fit, is really, really important for a sense of well-being. This is why we choose almost exclusively natural fibers grown using organic methods and focus on wearable styles.
How did you determine a niche for yourself?
It happened really slowly. I had been designing the Brook There collections for a couple years before we added undergarments and lingerie styles. As ever, the choice to add intimates came from not being able to find something I liked in the market. I wanted to be able to wear pretty, organic cotton, well-fitting, wireless undergarment styles- and couldn't really find any to buy. Developing the techniques we use to construct undergarments took several years.
You mention that you were working in your Spring '13 collection with transparency, right? Where did that idea come from? Will it be part of your Fall collection?
Transparency seemed right for spring! Lots of layers. Like the natural world. For fall, I started working more with wools, organic gingham wovens, and suiting.
What's your working day like? What are your best working hours?
I'm usually at the workshop from 11am-7pm. Unless we're doing photography or website stuff, I don't really use a computer at work. I reserve mornings for intellectual pursuits, creative thinking alone, work that I need to do without interruption.
How much hands-on sewing do you do? Do you make your prototypes yourself?
I sew a lot of the prototypes and do the pattern-making for the brand. Every season we repeat some of popular styles in new colorways, and usually someone who works with me helps with the cutting and sewing of samples.
Do you see hands-on making and designing as a single process, two halves of the same thing? Or would you be happy sketching and turning your sketch over to someone else to construct?
For me, sketching alone and passing it off wouldn't be possible. Designing/ pattern-making/ and construction choices are inherent to the process, i.e. a single process, and the creative, fun part!
What's the most important skill a home sewer should master? What's your favorite sewing tool?
That's a tough question for me. Once you've sewn with industrial machines, it's almost impossible to imagine going back to home machines. One can't really achieve the same look & feel on a home machine. Our buttonhole machine has changed my life. I used to design to avoid buttonholes, and now I can use them as much as I want! It's encouraged me to add more woven styles.
How does fabric relate to your design sense? Do you ever start with fabric and go to design? Or does silhouette and drape determine what fabrics you choose?
It's a bi-directional process. Since we're mostly choosing organic cottons and wools, we're really limited in what we can buy. So I usually start with fabric and design from there.
Do you do your thinking and designing in your store space or do you work at home as well? What would the perfect design/sewing studio look like?
I do the hands-on work at the workshop, but sometimes I sketch at home. My sketching is very functional, just quick line drawings of the styles, usually flat, not on a figure. There are both drawbacks and positives to having a combined workshop/ retail space, of course. It's nice to have customer and public interactions, but it's also easy to feel interrupted, if the day is too busy.
How do you stay inspired? Does living in Maine contribute to what you 'see' when you're coming up with ideas?
The seasonality of Maine is a definite positive for design work. Summer and winter are really different, so it's easy to naturally differentiate between the seasons. Additionally, I'm usually designing for the season exactly twelve months ahead, i.e. right now (September) I'm designing fall 2014.
Portland isn't the fashion hub of the world. What advantages are there in being in a small city, as opposed to NYC?
Cheap rent. Easy travel. No lines. I'm a small-city person. I don't like driving or public transportation, so Portland is the perfect size. We can walk or bike anywhere!

THE ATHEIST'S COMPLAINT:Will God curse the earth? Malachi 4:6 indicates that God might, if He gets mad again, whereas Genesis 8:21 says that he will never do it again. Is there a contradiction?
RESPONSE:It might first be noted, two separate and unrelated Hebrew words are rendered "curse" in the English translation here. In Malachi, it is the Hebrew word cherem, in reference to that which is accursed, banned, devoted or dedicated for utter destruction. In Genesis, the Hebrew word is qalal, meaning to be slight, be abated (of water), to be trifling, be of little account, insignificant (Online Bible Hebrew Lexicon). The fact that different words are used, conveying different ideas nullifies the idea of a contradiction here. However, let us investigate deeper.
In the Genesis text, the flood had just occurred, and now, Noah and his family are back on dry land, ready to replenish the earth (9:1). After Noah makes sacrifice, the Lord states that He "...will never again curse the ground for man's sake..." Never again would the Lord's wrath bring ruin to the ground and the animal life (21b) because of man's wickedness. If He were to curse the earth at every occasion of man's wickedness, the outpouring of destruction would never cease. Not many verses later, He repeats His promise in this way, "Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the floods; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." While the earth would remain, harvests, seasons and days would not cease (8:22). The earth will not experience such destruction again, until the day of judgment (2 Peter 3:1-11).
Is Malachi's writing saying that God will violate His promise to not afflict the land? Not once in the Old Testament is the Hebrew cherem used of God destroying the planet. It is used to describe things which are "devoted" to God, it is used to speak of people who should be utterly destroyed, it is used of items and even cities which were slated for destruction, but not once of the whole land. The word earth (Heb. erets) can be used of either the land or the inhabitants of the earth. Given the Lord's promise to Noah (Gen 8:21-22; 9:11-16; Isaiah 54:9; 2 Peter 3:5-7), it ought to be clear that He does not speak of the land here, but the inhabitants. If the people did not straighten their paths, then the Lord would bring destruction upon them. Such was the fate of the Jewish people as a whole, as the Lord used the Romans in 70 A.D. to punish Israel for their disobedience.
There is no contradiction.

I remember when my salesman approached me on this wine, "Mate, have I got a wine for you and your Club!" he's English so he throws in the occasional Mate or Chap for us Colonials
He explained what he was pitching me, a Bone Dry, Italian sparkling wine that is 15 years old
..needless to say I was a bit circumspect. He continued saying that the wine was 70% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Bianco and had remained on the lees for 12 years. He's actually quite a serious fellow so I said let's pop the cork and see for ourselves, I was actually stunned by the initial aromatics, this was the real thing, it was complex, clean and had a long, lingering nose. I'm used to wines lingering on the palate as this one did but the nose seemed to permeate my local vicinity, engulf me, which was unique. On the palate persistent carbonation, very complex brioche like flavors and a long and yes drawn out finish. I hope you like it as much as I did. (Greg St.Clair K&L's Italian Buyer)

How to Make Kale Chips
Although kale chips may soundŌĆöand even lookŌĆöa little odd, after one bite you'll be hooked. These delicious, thin-as-paper, crunchy-crumbly snacks are a lot better for you than salty, fatty, ultra-processed snack foods because kale is one of the most nutrition-packed foods around. This easy recipe will help you add it to your diet in a fun and tasty way.
- 1 bunch of kale (any type)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- SpicesŌĆösea salt, fresh-ground pepper, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, etc. as desired (optional)
1Preheat the oven to 250┬║F (120┬║C)ŌĆöor 300┬║F for a convection oven.Ad
2Rinse the kale in cold water.
3Dry the kale using a salad spinner, or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove as much water as possible, so your chips will be crispŌĆönot soggyŌĆöafter baking.
4Cut or tear the kale into chip-sized pieces. It's fine if they aren't all the same size or shape. Note: Kale chips will shrink a bit while baking, so it's okay if you make them a bit on the large side.
5Pour the olive oil (and balsamic vinegar and other spices, if using) into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the kale. Close bag and shake or massage the dressing into the kale until each piece is lightlyŌĆöbut evenlyŌĆöcoated.
- Start with stated amount of olive oil and add more if needed.
6Lay the kale out on a metal cookie sheet in a single layer. You'll probably need to use multiple cookie sheets or bake the chips in batches.
7Bake for 35 minutes, checking chips every 5 minutes after that to see if they're done. They should be green and crisp, but not brown.
8Remove from baking sheet, let cool for a few minutes and serve!Ad
We could really use your help!
case studies?
foot care?
- A little aged Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the chips when they're just out of the oven makes them extra yummyŌĆöthough possibly a tad less virtuous.
- Use something other than oil to make it more healthy.
Things You'll Need

It usually is associated with hard stools or difficulty passing stools. You may have pain while passing stools or may be unable to have a bowel movement after straining or pushing for more than 10 minutes.I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Considerations Normal bowel movements are different for each person. You may not have a bowel movement every day. Although some healthy people always have soft or near-runny stools, others have firm stools, but have no trouble passing them.When you rarely have a bowel movement, or it takes a lot of effort to pass stool, you have constipation. Passing large, wide, or hard stools may tear the anus, especially in children. This can cause bleeding and may lead to an anal fissure.Anal fissureAn anal fissure is a small split or tear in the thin moist tissue (mucosa) lining the lower rectum (anus).ImageRead Article Now Book Mark Article Causes Constipation is most often caused by:Low-fiber diet Lack of physical activity Not drinking enough water Delay in going to the bathroom when you have the urge to move your bowels Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or other changes in bowel habits.Other causes of constipation may include:Colon cancer Diseases of the bowel, such as irritable bowel syndrome Irritable bowel syndromeIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that leads to abdominal pain and bowel changes.

Home Care Children and adults should get enough fiber in their diet. Vegetables, fresh fruits, dried fruits, and whole wheat, bran, or oatmeal cereals are excellent sources of fiber. To reap the benefits of fiber, drink plenty of fluids to help pass the stool.For infants with constipation:Over 2 months old -- try 2 - 4 ounces of fruit juice (grape, pear, apple, cherry, or prune) twice a day. Over 4 months old -- if the baby has begun solid foods, try baby foods with high-fiber content (peas, beans, apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, spinach) twice a day.Regular exercise may also help establish regular bowel movements. If you are confined to a wheelchair or bed, change position often. Also do abdominal exercises and leg raises. A physical therapist can recommend exercises that you can do.Stool softeners (such as those containing docusate sodium) may help. Bulk laxatives such as psyllium may help add fluid and bulk to the stool. Suppositories or gentle laxatives, such as milk of magnesia liquid, may help you have regular bowel movements. Enemas or stimulant laxatives should only be used in severe cases. These methods should be used only if fiber, fluids, and stool softeners do not provide enough relief.Do NOT give laxatives or enemas to children without first asking your doctor. When to Contact a Medical Professional Call your doctor immediately if you have sudden constipation with abdominal cramps and you cannot pass gas or stool.

Flexible Paper Sculptures by Li Hongbo
Chinese artist Li Hongbo created these impressive flexible sculptures made of thousands of layers of soft paper. His concertina-like sculptures first appear to be made of ceramic but upon interaction reveal their foldable and meticulously built structure. See much more in the video below. We like!

For the last two years, Soldiers' Angels has been helping Semper Fi Sisters (SFS) direct the care packages from their annual packing event. So, when SFS set a goal of sending over 1,000 packages this year, they knew where to go for help...
SFS is a collection of military wives and mothers (both past and present) who have banded together for mutual support during these difficult times. It began in Florida but has now spread across the country. Each year they get together in Florida for a four-night event of fun, sharing, encouragement, education and networking. This annual event, "Beach Blast" culminates with a huge packing party on the final day.
The first year of the packing party resulted in 12 women packing 36 boxes, but things have grown exponentially right along with SFS itself. The 2nd year involved 24 women who packed 300 boxes, and last year's effort included 52 women and over 700 boxes. This year, at least 75 women from twenty-four different states representing all five military branches are expected, with an additional dozen driving in for the packing party from up to three hours away.
Groups and individuals from across the country have been sending care package items in such volumes that SFS is aiming to pack and send 1,000 care packages this year! One focus will be on female military personnel, and a number of manufacturers from the sportswear and swimwear industry have also pitched in to provide gifts that help those deployed females feel a bit more feminine amid the dirt, dust and uniforms.
Soldiers' Angels has provided 1,000 names and addresses of deployed personnel who will receive the care packages, and SFS has a special project thanks to a school classroom in Nebraska that contributed seven boxes of care package items. Several finished packages will be sent through an Airman at Bagram in Afghanistan, who will ensure that handful of the care packages will be tracked from their landing point, through the military mail system in Afghanistan, and into the hands of their final recipients. The goal is to engage the students by "telling the story of a box," so that they can see how far it travels and all the people involved in facilitating its delivery.
With Beach Blast and the packing party held in a the tiny coastal town of Port St. Joe in Florida, SFS works closely with their local post office to handle the expected flood of care packages. Three of the postal workers are veterans themselves (Iraq, Vietnam and the Gulf War), and they thoroughly enjoy seeing all the care packages come through. "They love it because they remember getting boxes," says Brenda Garth, President and Co-Founder of SFS.
This year's packing party will be held on Saturday, October 20. For more information about SFS, the get-together or the packing party, email SFS at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit visit their website.
Congratulations to Semper Fi Sisters for creating a wonderful resource for military families! Soldiers' Angels is proud to stand with you!

Society For Brain Mapping And Therapeutics (SBMT) Announce The Formation Of American Board Of Brain Mapping, Its 2013 Award Recipients And Its Brain Mapping Day At The US Congress
LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Obama said in his April 2 nd speech "We have been a nation of dreamers and risk-takers; people who see what nobody else sees sooner than anybody else sees it. We do innovation better than anybody else -- and that makes our economy stronger. When we invest in the best ideas before anybody else does, our businesses and our workers can make the best products and deliver the best services before anybody else."
Babak Kateb, Founding Chairman of the Board of SBMT, attended the White House event at which President Obama announced a new federal effort to fund research that will constitute a major new Brain Mapping initiative. The SBMT Board of Directors had previously submitted a whitepaper to the White House and is part of the national dialogue about President Obama's Brain Mapping Initiative.
"SBMT and Brain Mapping Foundation are naturally well positioned in playing a significant role in President Obama's initiative. We are planning to establish a NanoBioElectronic Consortium, which will focus on integrating nanotechnology, stem cell, cellular and molecular biology, immunology, device and imaging," said Babak Kateb, President of the Brain Mapping Foundation, Director of National Center for NanoBioElectronics, and Editor of the Textbook of Nanoneuroscience and Nanoneurosurgery. "We are also establishing the American Board of Brain Mapping in order to certify specialists in this field and planning to have a cross disciplinary doctoral program in nanobioelectronics in collaboration with one of the most prestigious universities in the US. This will help us integrate and translate technologies across multiple disciplines into neuroscience and train new generations of cross disciplinary thinkers and scientists."
The BRAIN Initiative is going to fund research on cutting-edge technologies, which could probe and or image the brain in order to better understand its structure and neuropatho-physiology as well as breaking new ground on the treatment, cure and prevention of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, brain cancers and neurotrauma.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks fluctuated Wednesday afternoon during the first full day of trading since Hurricane Sandy forced a historic two-day shutdown of major U.S. markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 11 points, or 0.08%, to 13,096 on its first day of trading since Oct. 26. The Blue Chip index traded as high as 13,189 and as low as 13,052.
Breadth within the Dow was mostly negative, as losers were ahead of winners 19 to 11.
Decliners for the Dow included Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Intel (INTC), Pfizer (PFE) and Walt Disney (DIS).Walt Disney announced Tuesday an agreement to acquire Lucasfilm, the maker of the "Star Wars" movies, for $4.05 billion. Shares of the company dipped 1.9% on Wednesday. Travelers (TRV) was another Dow loser as investors contemplated the hit the company could take in the wake of the hurricane. Shares were off 0.92% The biggest gainers included Home Depot (HD), JP Morgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Microsoft (MSFT). Home Depot shares added 2.2% as the market anticipated upside in home-improvement retailers after Sandy. Advancers zipped ahead of decliners in the late afternoon by a 1.4-to-1 ratio on the Big Board, and 1.2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. Volume at the NYSE was 3.54 billion shares, while it was 1.80 billion on the Nasdaq. The S&P 500 added less than 1 point, or 0.02%, to 1412. The Nasdaq dipped 11 points, or 0.36%, to 2977. Though the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq remained shuttered Monday and Tuesday, stock futures continued to trade both days. "The SEC gets bashed a lot, but it made the right decision to coordinate the market closures," Robert Battalio, a finance professor at University of Notre Dame, wrote in an email. "Closing the exchange means there were a lot of bad trades that didn't happen. ... Computers can't be programmed for every contingency; there is still a need for people to 'babysit' trading." Automaker General Motors (GM) said profit fell in the third quarter from a year earlier but topped analysts' estimates. GM posted adjusted profit of 93 cents a share. Analysts were expecting 60 cents a share. Revenue rose 2% to $37.6 billion. Analysts had estimated $35.9 billion.Shares of GM popped 9.5%.

How Different Are Girls and Boys Above and Below the Diagnostic Threshold for Autism Spectrum Disorders?
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Date Published:
August 2012
A study finds that despite showing similar autistic traits, girls are less likely than boys to meet diagnostic criteria for ASD if no other intellectual or behavioral issues are present. The authors suggest the results might reflect biased diagnosis or better adaptation in girls.
