Quincy couple turns to life of travel
|From left: Katie Bagby, founder of Quincy Collective; Amy Schulz, entrepreneurship instructor at Feather River College; and Tiffiney Lozano, co-owner of Wild Child Travels, mug for the camera before the launch of Quincy Collective on Oct. 7. Photo submitted
Staff Writer
Diego and Tiffiney Lozano did what many couples do once they marry and decide it's time to settle down — they took secure jobs, bought a house and had children — but it wasn't working for them.
"There was a moment in 2012 when I thought, 'This is not how it's supposed to be,'" Tiffiney said.
Flash forward two years. Diego and Tiffiney sold their home, quit their jobs and are about to embark on a new adventure.
The couple told their story Oct. 7 to a packed room during the opening reception for Quincy Collective, a new endeavor by life coach Katie Bagby.

We believe that Baba Slings can cater to everyones needs. Whether you are looking for a baby sling or baby carrier to accommodate your newborn to sleep and breastfeed in a pouch style position or a hip sling for your toddler.
Perhaps you are after a hammock style sling big enough for your older baby to lie down and sleep in. Or a way to carry your baby on your back, which is suitable for hiking and public transport and jet setters. And for those of you with an inquisitive little Kangaroo, the forward facing Joey position is just the go.
Maybe, you could be after a papoose for your twins. Simply by lengthening the straps on your Baba Sling you can carry both your newborn twins in the pouch simultaneously. As well as breast feed them, hands free and discreetly!!
Being adjustable with an easy to release, high quality, ski-buckle (and a safety strap with buckle underneath) means that there is no need to buy two separate slings for Mum and Dad. Also the Baba Sling can adjust out to accommodate your baby as it grows, which is a very important advantage.

Create a New Year's Eve Hat for your Kids
I knew when I wanted a cute craft idea for New Year's that I should go straight to DLTK. Of course, I found a few cute ideas for tonight. My family is staying home this year to ring in the New Year; however, this craft idea is so simple that it can be prepared and left for a babysitter, too. What a great project to keep the kiddo's busy and engaged while you're out to dinner or such.
The directions are posted clearly on their site.
|A simple construction paper 'hat' the kids have fun making, decorating and wearing!
- Print template of choice
- Color as necessary (if using the B&W version)
- Cut out the template pieces
- OR freehand cut 4 stars or clocks from construction paper
- Cut 2 or 3 strips of construction paper about 4" wide and as long as you can make them
- Tape the pieces end to end to make a really long piece.
- Wrap around the child's head to measure how long you need and trim off the excess (don't tape into a circle yet).
- Make 5 or 6 tissue paper flowers and tape to the front of the crown:
- stack 3 or 4 squares of tissue paper on top of each other (size should be about 4"x4")
- fan fold (accordion fold) the tissue paper
- tie tightly in the center with a piece of thread
- separate the layers one at a time
- roll a piece of scotch tape to attach the flower to the front of the crown (long construction paper strip)
- Tape a star or clock onto the top of each pipecleaner. Flip over and glue or tape the 3rd and 4th shape onto the back of the 1st and 2nd (to sandwich the pipecleaner in between the shapes)
- Tape both pipecleaners to the long piece of construction paper so they either sit at the front of the head or the sides of the head
- Tape the construction paper ends together to form a crown and put it on!

TriPass ELV 2500LT from MacDermid is a trivalent chromium passivate designed to produce an iridescent film on electroplated zinc deposits from acid and alkaline electrolytes. When used with an approved topcoat, it produces a silver-like finish that maintains corrosion resistance, even after baking.
The passivate does not contain hexavalent chrome, and is said to be easy to operate and control. Waste water also is easy to treat, the company says. It has high tolerance to metallic contamination for improved solution life. The passivate is suited for both rack and barrel applications.

Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
I'm going to give registering my new company (single member limited company) with the CRO a go myself. Any pointers on where I can download a draft Memorandum and Articles of Association?
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Yea, just purchase some from the CRO online... only cost 2.50 and try and search for similar businesses to your own which have recently been registered.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Where on CRO online can you purchase a Memorandum & Articles, I can't see any samples there?
If by purchase for E2.50 you mean download ones from a similar company and change them then bear in mind
a) AFAIK what you get is scan of the document (possibly in PDF form) which will be an image of the document not containing editable text. (I suppose you could run it through OCR software but I would be wary of this as OCR is not foolproof and a typo in this document could have serious implications).
b) Even a similar company may not be set up exactly how you would need it and by copying them you could be creating problems for yourself down the line. E.g. while it is fairly common to include a broad objects clause this is not necessarily universal and even small changes in your business could cause you to be ultra vires if your objects clause is too narrow.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Most M&A are very standard. The clause that will be different and specifically apply to your specific business is Clause 2, or 2(A) in the Memorandum of Association. A good idea would be to download the M&A of a company similar to your own and make the amendments. What will differ is the objects clause(2 or 2A) and No. 3 & 4 of the Memorandum which refers to the status of the company (limited or unlimited) and the share capital. The last page of M&A always lists the original shareholders and this will not change, no matter how many times you amend your M&A.
Hope this helps.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Well, all I know is that I've done it with absolutely no hassle at all, nearly exactly as MandaC has stated. My company is only a small company with two directors. I have downloaded many samples of my business so as to get a wide range of examples but they vary very little. In addition, I bought some templates for Memorandum and Articles of Association from a legal stationers for approximately £5 for both (at the time).
You do receive a scan of the document from the CRO but I did not run it through OCR software, I simply retyped it and rechecked it against many examples.
Any changes in a successful business down the line can be reviewed by a solicitor, if deemed necessary, but for initial startup, the above is more than adequate IMHO.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Just in case anyone else has problems in finding M&A documents for specific companies, simply go to the CRO, do a search on a company, click on the company name that results, click on list company submissions and request whichever documents you require.
Also, for reference, go to Brian 'O Kane's website, http://www.startingabusinessinireland.com and download the eBook, "HOW TO FORM A LIMITED COMPANY".
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Any of the standard M&A which are lodged for people on incorporation are very standard. Bear in mind that on formation, the objects Clause can only have a limited number of words(I think it is 90, or it used to be 90) so you will end up lodging a revised M&A to elaborate on your objects at a later stage anyway.
Obviously anything that is downloaded from CRO, etc, should not be lodged as is, it will have to be typed and presented and I would suggest with an original M&A to have it bound and take three copies, as it will be needed to open a Bank Account for the Company along with the Company's M&A.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Thanks for all the replies. I'm starting to think I might just get an agency to do it!
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
like a lot of things in life you can do them yourself but if you don't know what you're doing sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth. we specialise in incorporations for contractors but would be happy to do a one-off incorporation for you at a reduced rate of 250 - you can pm me or contact me via our website
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Btw, it is not possible to retrospectively change the memo & articles of a company.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
To amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association, a Special Resolution (G1) detailing the amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of a limited company and a full set of the amended Memorandum and Articles of Association must be filed with the CRO.
Filing fee for G1 is 15.00 euro and the amended Memorandum and Articles of Association is 15.00. Total cost = 35.00 euro.
The following general requirements apply:
- The amended text must be printed or typed.
- The document must contain the up-to-date text of the memorandum/articles i.e. all changes effected since incorporation of the company must be embodied in the text.
- Manuscript alterations are not acceptable.
- The correct numerical sequence of paragraphs must be maintained.
- No document will be accepted if it is illegible or would be difficult to scan or copy.
- Photocopied texts are acceptable only if the print is easily legible and is capable of being re-photocopied and scanned satisfactorily.
Legal contracts can be put in place to cater for situations where disputes arise between directors or between directors and lenders or creditors.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Our Formation Agent has draft Memo and Arts. pre approved by CRO, hence when one of our clients take the new company, they are only allowed change the objects clause( Clause 2A) to a clause containing only ninety words. Thats where I was saying the 90 words comes in.This happens when a client needs a company NOW ( or one that has already been incorporated) and is not prepared to wait for the CRO to approve a M&A of a company with a very detailed clause 2(which would ususally happen in the case of a pub, hotel, garage, etc.
What we do in this case is take the very basic clause 2 from the formation agent, and then file an amended M&A with the G1 dated the next day.
This would not be the case when you are incorporating a company from scratch and can wait in the CRO queue for approval, and can have as detailed clauses as you like.
The other area to watch out for in drafting M&A is in the area of share rights, if there are different classes of shares, this could be where a dispute could arise between directors/shareholders, if the correct clauses are not outlined in the articles.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
So, for the example where painting Company A obtained a solicitor to prepare their M&A for incorporation and Joe Soap came along using his template M&A obtained from the legal stationers and used Company A's M&A as an example to incorporate his painting company, what potential fatal flaws could exist after the CRO provides Joe with his registration cert?
Is there any such documents that can be retrospectively changed if a problem does arise within a small company business?
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
dam099's post above outlined two scenarios where problems of this nature can arise.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
So, just to be clear, typo's and a broad objects clause are typical examples of fatal flaws in M & A documents? But this would assumme that even accountants, solicitors, company formation agents should be wary of typo's and a broad objects clause and that this is not necessarily specific to a person who incorporates their own company.
Also, how do the warnings aforementioned apply to companies bought off the shelf?
Again, it's not exactly clear whether there any such similar documents that can be retrospectively changed if a problem does arise within a small company business?
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
If such a company were to fail then the liquidator will not be entertaining any requests to change the Memo & Arts and the directors could be deemed to have been carrying out the ultra vires activities in their own personal capacity and be liable for any debts resulting personally.
Typos are not necessarily fatal flaws but there is always a chance they might alter the meaning of something or render something meaningless.
The Memo & Arts can be changed if it turns out that is required but that does not necessarily validate past activities and assumes that someone realises that such a change needs to be made. The danger is businesses can evolve over time from their original core business (perhaps gradually) into areas that are not covered by their objects clause.
Off the shelf companies can still be OK as long as you change the Memo & Arts before you start trading or if they have a sufficiently broad objects clause.
Much of this is hypothetical but it does happen from time to time, probably a lot less now than in the past due to the prevelance of broad objects clauses.
You seem to have educated yourself quite a bit on the process which is good. However to recommend to someone else to just modify someone elses Memo & Arts without taking the time to educate themselves as to the requirements and potential pitfalls could see them get themselves into trouble down the line. If someone wants to save the money and do it themselves thats a risk they can choose to take but they should realise that there are downsides and it might be worth paying the E250-500 to get it done right.
Re: Draft Memorandum and Articles of association
Thanks for the detailed response dam099. Your points are very valid but I still have some questions.
Was the one random sample you downloaded from the CRO implemented professionally?
So essentially, in my case, when I stated that to have obtained, "a wide range of (M&A) examples" and have "rechecked it (M&A) against many examples", would this not cover the potential pitfalls you are speaking of, with respect to broad objects clauses and common typos/structural mistakes within the documents?
Can I ask that if someone was to "educate themselves as to the requirements and potential pitfalls" of the whole company formation process, without necessarily going through with this process themselves, where would you receommend that they do this? I think it's good just to have information on this whole process and that any company director should have at least a vague understanding of it.
Also, you made a valid point about businesses evolving over time into activities not necessarily covered by the objects clauses, so would you recommend businesses to have some sort of structural legal review completed at regular intervals i.e. every 3 - 5 years or so possibly? Or in such a situation where a small business were to find themselves with an object clause which did not currently cover it's activities and the company fails.... would this lead to problems, similar to the ones you previously outlined, with the liquidator?
Finally, can you expand on your second paragraph i.e. in what situations generally, would a liquidator deem that the directors of a failed company have carried out ultra vire activities and that they be personally responsible for any resulting debts? Is it possible that this may occur in the situation I outlined in the paragraph above this?

Chancellor's Lecture & Event Series
The Sustainable Energy Challenge
George Crabtree
UIC Distinguished Professor of Physics & Special Advisor on Energy
Senior Scientist & Distinguished Fellow, Argonne National Laboratory
Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com as light snacks will be provided
Dr. Crabtree's Presentation (PDF file 1.95MB)
The global dependence on fossil fuels is among the greatest challenges facing our economic, social and political future. The uncertainty in the cost and supply of oil threatens the global economy and energy security, the pollution of fossil combustion threatens human health, and the emission of greenhouse gases threatens global climate. Meeting the demand for double the current global energy use in the next 50 years without damaging our economy, security, environment or climate requires finding alternative sources of energy that are clean, abundant, accessible and sustainable. The transition to greater sustainability involves tapping unused energy flows such as sunlight and wind, producing electricity without carbon emissions from clean coal and high efficiency nuclear power plants, and using energy more efficiently. Achieving these goals requires creating new materials of increasing complexity and functionality to control the transformation of energy between light, electrons and chemical bonds. Challenges and opportunities for developing the complex materials and controlling the chemical changes that enable greater sustainability will be presented.

Here Comes Baby:Vintage Eclectic Nursery for Baby Josephine
Hi, it's Kirsty from Here Comes Baby Blog and I wanted to share with you this vintage eclectic nursery, which is one of my favourite nurseries I have written about so far. This small but perfectly formed nursery is created by Nell from On the First Day of Marriage Blog for her baby daughter Josephine. It is a mix of bright colours on clean white walls filled to the brim with vintage and secondhand finds. What a crafty bunch Nell's family are: many items are handmade by Nell, her mum and her Nan. Things from Nell and her husband childhood are also tucked in there along with fairtrade purchases. Nell has done a wonderful job in creating a vintage eclectic nursery that feels homely and welcoming. We ask Nell the story behind her vintage eclectic nursery:
What inspired your vintage eclectic nursery style?
Most of our home is painted white with bright colour and pattern added through the furniture, artwork and accessories so we wanted to continue that aesthetic in Josephine's nursery. We knew we wanted to steer clear of a theme, so set about sourcing unusual pieces that would create a unique space. We found the vintage chest of drawers at a junk shop, were given the sofa which I covered if a handmade quilt I got from a charity shop and decorated the walls with original artwork, postcards we'd found throughout our pregnancy and vintage trinkets. I also got crafty and handmade toys, wall hangings and the pompom garland hanging at the window, which I sell in my shop Happy Circus.
Can you share with us your vintage eclectic nursery styling tips?
I think that mixing old and new, handmade and fairtrade and traditional items with modern classics is the way to achieve a nursery that looks individual and fun. Plus it's so satisfying to see it all come together!
Do you have any clever storage ideas?
When it comes to storage, we didn't have the biggest space to work with so we had to get a little creative. We used a row of hooks to hang Josephine's clothes on as we didn't have room for a wardrobe, but it's lovely to see her vintage clothes on display. We also used the deep window sill as a bookshelf and found a large wicker basket for the top of the chest of drawers, to keep muslins and bibs in. And by finding a lovely handwoven basket, her toys have somewhere stylish to live.
What is your & your daughter's favourite things in the room?
I think my favourite thing in the nursery is the picture wall above Jospehine's cot. It's just a lovely collection of things that represent what we wanted the whole room to achieve; a dreamcatcher that belonged to my sister and which she gave us as a gift, my mama-made cloud, a Donna Wilson baby plate, a Seventy Tree bear print, some postcards my husband and I found, and a hand drawn piece of art by my sister. For Josephine, I think that the colourful sofa, where she can pull herself up and snuggle for stories, and the easy to access toy basket are the favourites. It's lovely to see her discover her toys and play with them on the brightly covered rug.

Jose P. Laurel
Eminent jurist, legislator, administrator, writer, statesman and educator – that was Jose P. Laurel, installed President of the Philippines by the Japanese who occupied the country in 1942.
Jose P. Laurel was born on March 9, 1894 in Tanuan, Batangas to Sotero Laurel and Jacoba Garica. He finished elementary education in Tanauan, his high school in the Manila High School, and his law course at the University of the Philippines.
He was brilliant student and cropped many prizes for outstanding work in school. He even won a set of law books for writing the best thesis. He was one of the topnotchers of the bar examinations. In 1918, he was awarded the Degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence, a rare honor conferred in those times.
His Government Career
Dr. Laurel started his government career when he was eighteen, as a part-time labourer. He soon rose to become clerk in the Code Committee, In 1925, he beat Antero Soriano of Cavite, a powerful politician, in the senatorial elections.
As a legislator, Dr. Laurel distinguished himself for his advocacy of woman suffrage, the acceptance of the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act, and his sponsorship of the Bill of Rights in the Philippine Constitution.
Other positions which he held in government were: Delegate to the Constitutional Convention; Secretary of Justice, Supreme Court; and of course President of the Philippines. He was a professional lecturer in many universities of Manila. He was chancellor emeritus of the National Teachers College. He founded and was the first president of the Lyceum of the Philippines.
Jose P. Laurel was Secretary of Justice when the Pacific War broke out on December 8, 1941.
On orders of President Quezon, he continued as Commissioner of Justice under the Japanese-sponsored Executive Commission. He wanted to flee to the mountains with other cabinet members but quezon had definitely ordered him to stay and protect and serve the people.
Like all Filipinos who witnessed the Death March from Bataan and the soldiers' interment as prisoners of war in Capaz, Tarlac, Laurel was shocked by the cruelty of the victors.
President Laurel's Installation to Power
On October 14, 1943, Laurel was installed President. Forced by the Japanese, he declared war on the United States and its allies. But when was told to rally the Filipinos to fight alongside the Japanese against the Americans, Laurel balked. He was able to convince the Japanese that it might be disastrous since the greater mass of the Filipinos were still loyal to the United States.
Laurel stood his ground on still other occasions. It is said that when Colonel Nagahama, chief of the military of police demanded permission from him to arrest Brigadier General Manuel A. Roxas for some "controversial" activities, Laurel refused. He had earlier named Roxas as a commissioner without portfolio to protect him.
When President Laurel was told that Kempeitais, Japanese police, were about to raid Malacanang, he ordered Col. Jesus Vargas of the Presidential guards to arm all his men and repel Japanese.
He was not collaborators but Patriots.
It should be noted that Vargas, Laurel, Aquino, Recto and other Filipino leaders who were compelled to serve in the puppet civil government established by the Japanese conquerors were not collaborators as many postwar writers erroneously and unfairly called them. These writers particularly Americans, had not witnessed or experienced the atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese during their occupation of the Philippines and thus did not know actually that these Filipino leaders risked their lives to protect the helpless Filipino people from enemy movement against Japan.
Also it should be recalled that president Quezon before leaving Manila for Corregidor of December 24, 1941, gave last minute instructions to Laurel, Vargas and other Filipino leaders to stay at their posts and serve under the Japanese conquerors in order to protect the defenceless people during the dark period of enemy occupation. General MacArthur knew these presidential instruction, and added in adice to them "never to take the oath of allegiance to Japan".
By their mock collaboration with Japan, Dr. Laurel and other Filipino officials during the occupation period were able to save thousands of Filipinos' lives. If they had not accepted the offer of the Japanese High Command to serve in the Executive Commission, most likely a Japanese military government would have been established or a puppet civil government would have been created composed of General Artemio Ricarte, Benigno Ramos and other pro-Japanese Filipinos, either way, it would have been calamitous for the Filipino people.
On Januray 28, 1942, a radio broadcast from Tokyo announced the establishment of a new government in Manila consisting of Vargas, Laurel, Recto and other Filipino leaders. This government was the Philippine ExclusiveCommission. High Commissioner Sayre of the US who was in Corregidor with President Quezon was alarmed . Quezon was worried, for the firmly believed in the patriotism of Vargas and his companions. Immediately, he wrote a letter to General MacArthur who was then in Bataan.
Meanwhile, the Japanese-made Philippine Republic was in crisis. Peace and order crumbled as the Japanese soldiers continued to oppress the people. Hunger was widespread because of the Japanese were confiscating food from merchants and fro producers. Men were being forced to work in military bases and those accused of supporting guerrillas and being pro-Americans were being arrested and tortured.
As this disorder was going on, President Laurel imposed Martial law on September 21, 1944. The following day, pressured by desperate Japanese authorities, he was forced to declare war on the US.
This was declaration was not effective, however, because of the two reasons: first, the President did not submit the war declaration to the National Assembly for approval; hence, it was illegal; and second, the President made it clear in the Proclamation that Filipinos would not be forced to serve in the war; hence, the war declaration was of no value.
It seemed that President Laurel, knowing that the Filipinos would not fight for Japan against US, issued the war declaration only to pacify the Japanese authorities and this save the people from their wrath.

main index
Japanese schools' extra-curricular activities are centered on "club activities" organized by the students themselves. Each club will generally be assigned its own room or other facilities, will have an advisor (who doesn't always appear on screen), and will have a powerful president (kaicho) who'll be a significant character of some sort. For series that revolve around a specific club, the club's president frequently replaces the Student Council president in importance. The three most commonly portrayed clubs are the student council, the school newspaper, and the Kendo team. For the student council, see Absurdly Powerful Student Council and Student Council President. For the newspaper, see School Newspaper Newshound. For the Kendo team, see Kendo Team Captain. Other clubs range from normal sport clubs (baseball, soccer, swimming etc.) over cultural clubs (art, tea ceremony, music etc.) and a mixed bunch (library, computer, home economy etc.) to the more unusual (railways, astronomy, occult research etc.). And then there are the clubs no sane school or student council would accept in reality, be it more or less shadowy fan clubs for popular students or just "the place where we hang out, when we are not doing something completely crazy." The members themselves will always be those the story needs and not the unsorted bunch you would have to deal with in reality. It's more mixed with the advisor, who can be anything from lazy over frustrated or enthusiastic to outright crazy. That is of course if the advisor is around. In fact quite a few clubs hardly see their advisor or don't even seem to have one at all. It's rare for a student to be a member of more than one club — clubs are Serious Business in Japan, as they are seen as training for the companies students will eventually join when they enter the adult world. Since company loyalty and longevity are highly prized in the Japanese workforce, it's considered downright rude to devote time to more than one club, or worse, quit one club for another. The Ordinary High-School Student who isn't a member of any club is said to be a member of the "Go Home Club". (Usagi does this in Sailor Moon when she gets to High School, as does Watanuki from XXX Holic. Kagura from Azumanga Daioh accuses the rest of the girls of this.) If there's a female character member of an all-male sports club, such as the baseball or soccer clubs, she's portrayed as the Cute Sports Club Manager. Characters who are a member of more than one club or who are extremely rapid in recruitment and enthusiasm are usually an Extracurricular Enthusiast. Some schools require clubs to have a minimum number of members. A common theme is, therefore, the Club Stub which will do anything to get more members to prevent getting disbanded. And by anything we mean anything from The Power of Friendship to brutal force. Enemies of the club vary depending on the story and club. Sport clubs will obvious have to face clubs from other schools and may be cheered on by the other students. Clubs can however also be enemies of each other and there tends to be fighting whenever the creator doesn't have a better idea for a story. The school and the student council will require that the club actually do something which fits the club and will be after them if they do something not allowed. And should there be no enemies from outside, the members themselve often provide a good basis for infighting. This is the lowest-ranking authority trope. For the next step up, see Absurdly Powerful Student Council and Landlord.
Other less common clubs include:
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
Live Action TV
Video Games
Visual Novels

|New Revised Standard (NRS)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous are taken away from calamity,
|1 The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.
|2 and they enter into peace; those who walk uprightly will rest on their couches.
|2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.
|3 But as for you, come here, you children of a sorceress, you offspring of an adulterer and a whore.
|3 "But you--come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
|4 Whom are you mocking? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the offspring of deceit—
|4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you sneer and stick out your tongue? Are you not a brood of rebels, the offspring of liars?
|5 you that burn with lust among the oaks, under every green tree; you that slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
|5 You burn with lust among the oaks and under every spreading tree; you sacrifice your children in the ravines and under the overhanging crags.
|6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they, are your lot; to them you have poured out a drink offering, you have brought a grain offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
|6 [The idols] among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion; they, they are your lot. Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings and offered grain offerings. In the light of these things, should I relent?
|7 Upon a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
|7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
|8 Behind the door and the doorpost you have set up your symbol; for, in deserting me, you have uncovered your bed, you have gone up to it, you have made it wide; and you have made a bargain for yourself with them, you have loved their bed, you have gazed on their nakedness.
|8 Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols. Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed, you climbed into it and opened it wide; you made a pact with those whose beds you love, and you looked on their nakedness.
|9 You journeyed to Molech with oil, and multiplied your perfumes; you sent your envoys far away, and sent down even to Sheol.
|9 You went to Molech with olive oil and increased your perfumes. You sent your ambassadors far away; you descended to the grave itself !
|10 You grew weary from your many wanderings, but you did not say, "It is useless." You found your desire rekindled, and so you did not weaken.
|10 You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint.
|11 Whom did you dread and fear so that you lied, and did not remember me or give me a thought? Have I not kept silent and closed my eyes, and so you do not fear me?
|11 "Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me?
|12 I will concede your righteousness and your works, but they will not help you.
|12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you.
|13 When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you! The wind will carry them off, a breath will take them away. But whoever takes refuge in me shall possess the land and inherit my holy mountain.
|13 When you cry out for help, let your collection [of idols] save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain."
|14 It shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from my people's way."
|14 And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."
|15 For thus says the high and lofty one who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
|15 For this is what the high and lofty One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
|16 For I will not continually accuse, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirits would grow faint before me, even the souls that I have made.
|16 I will not accuse forever, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirit of man would grow faint before me-- the breath of man that I have created.
|17 Because of their wicked covetousness I was angry; I struck them, I hid and was angry; but they kept turning back to their own ways.
|17 I was enraged by his sinful greed; I punished him, and hid my face in anger, yet he kept on in his willful ways.
|18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will lead them and repay them with comfort, creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips.
|18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him,
|19 Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them.
|19 creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel. Peace, peace, to those far and near," says the LORD. "And I will heal them."
|20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea that cannot keep still; its waters toss up mire and mud.
|20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.
|21 There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.
|21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."

Yesterday I pointed out a post on Reddit that asked Americans what surprised them while visiting Europe. Today, let's switch it around. If you're a traveler who has visited the United States, what did you find surprising? Comments are open.
What surprised you about visiting the United States?
10 Comments on "What surprised you about visiting the United States?"
Coming from Ghana (West Africa), it was the Internet. 4G compared to our 300 KB/s 3G Connections; and FiOS compared to our 400 KB/s Broadband. Also, Wi-Fi on buses and airplanes.
Having visited the United States on two occasions, I managed to see a few different parts of the country, although almost exclusively on the west coast. The first time we spent a few days in Seattle, visiting Boing Field, and the Aviation museum (My brother is training as a pilot and has wanted to be one since he was 6). One of the biggest differences really is in hospitality. Given that so many of these jobs are driven by tipping in the US, individual staff seem to make a much greater effort to actually please their customers because it will help their pay. Coming from Australia this was quite unusual, since tips are not seen as 'mandatory' here.
The second trip we had was both our best and worst experiences of America. We went to Las Vegas so that we could see the Grand Canyon, and in the process got to visit what I've described on numerous occasions as the 'epitome of what is wrong with our society'. It was shockingly opulent and downright disgusting walking through Las Vegas, seeing the rampant commercialisation and constant badgering by people attempting to sell various (mostly sexually implicit) services. However, despite my scant regard for Las Vegas, our trip ended up being fantastic, thanks to the time we spent skiing in Telluride, Colorado. The village of Telluride was absolutely beautiful, and full of surprisingly sweet shops. The bookshop was possible the most amazing bookshop I've been to in my life! We also got the opportunity to go for a drive to a friend's house just near Telluride, and in the process saw some beautiful landscapes.
So essentially, despite the confrontation that is arriving in America via Los Angeles (Which is such a horrible airport), once within the countryside, there really is some astounding beauty to be seen, and some positively wonderful people as well.
I have visited the States on a number of occasions.
Many of the things that surprised me are the counterpoint to the things mentioned by Americans visiting Europe. In particular, everything appearing so large (cars, hotel rooms, food portions). The tipping culture is very difficult for many Brits to understand. Although in London (though often not the rest of the UK) we do tip in restaurants, this would rarely be more than 10%. The notion of tipping a bartender seems very odd to us. That said, the second time I visited the States I started to appreciate the difference that tipping makes to the service received. Most of our restaurants and service positions are staffed by 16 year olds or recent immigrants. I'm sure most Americans must be quite shocked at how unhelpful and downright rude waiters etc can be in London.
Whilst walking through the airport in Cleveland, just after arriving, I was surprised at the extremely sweet smell coming from some of the fast food outlets. You could almost collect the sugar in the air! We have fast food, but you guys seem to take unhealthy heating to another level. I'm sure it's not like this for those actually living in the country, but it can appear to tourists that the only food available is steaks, burger and chips etc.
One final thing, I've found that most American cities seem to inhibit walking around, and many of the attractions for tourists (outside New York) pretty much require the use of a car. That said, I did spend a lovely day wandering around downtown Denver.
I have only been to New York City (I'm from Germany). I admired the cool professionalism from Police officers or metro staff when asking for directions, the enormous level of service in every shop we went to. We hardly have that that clerks look up from what they're doing, smile and ask "how are you" or "may I help you?" (the only exception in Germany being Apple Stores). This was really one of the biggest impressions and you had that not only in expensive shops but also in supermarkets etc.
I posted this on reddit a while back, thought it would be relevant here, too:
You think the US is bad when it comes to strangers' behavior to each other? Come to Denmark. We might be the "happiest people on Earth", but fuck it if we're not gonna keep that happiness to ourselves. I was in California in August, and I have never in my life experienced so many strangers randomly starting conversations with you out of sheer, genuine interest. Even clerks in convenience stores who thought my driver's license looked funny. I had genuine conversations with more strangers in public places in those 2 weeks than I've probably had in the last 5 years in Denmark. It was so depressing coming back home.
One specific situation that really impressed me just came to my mind. I was in the Bay Area Metro, and some skater dude with tattoos all over stood next to some business men. All of a sudden he just goes "I fucking hate my life" to one of the guys. Yes, it took the business guy by surprise, but they then had a genuine conversation about what the skater guy could actually do to better his life. I have never experienced something like that in Scandinavia.
never been in the States and willing to do it. One thing that seems frightening to me is the amount of documentation needed to come there, which is no way easy as it could be for you to come to Italy.
Despite this I'd love to come there as soon as possible. Then I'll try to remember to come back here and leave a constructive note, cheers :-D
The proportion of people who don't speak English; most
of whom speak Spanish. Coming from Ireland, I did not expect that so much of the population (and signage) would be Spanish. That was twelve years ago, maybe this is more obvious through Internet TV etc now.

CMEW > Projects
Building Resilience to Climate Change through Green Infrastructure
CMEW researchers are analyzing localized climate vulnerabilities and ways to use natural environments to reduce risks and increase resilience to climate change. Recent and ongoing research examines how development and land use decisions impact inland flood vulnerability and coastal storm surge and inundation risks, and how strategic investments in nature can mitigate damages.
Blue Carbon: Protecting Coastal Environments to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Work by RFF researchers and colleagues shows how preventing the release of "blue carbon" stored in mangroves, sea grasses, and salt marshes may be an effective way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
Catalysts for Conservation: Exploring Behavioral Science Insights for Natural Resource Investments
RFF researchers review how insights from social and behavioral science research disciplines pertain to environmental attitudes and behaviors. They examine the environmental behaviors of individuals, businesses, communities, and society as a whole, specifically related to the conservation of natural resources.
Conservation ROI: Maximizing Returns on Environmental Conservation Investments
How can conservation organizations get the biggest "bang for their buck?" Researchers at RFF are working on methods to measure the return on investment from water, biodiversity, and other conservation projects, helping organizations in the public and private sectors focus on projects that generate the best and most cost-effective outcomes.
The Florida Ranchlands Environmental Services Project
RFF Resident Scholar Leonard Shabman and Sarah Lynch from the World Wildlife Fund spent eight years developing and co-directing the Florida Ranchlands Environmental Services Project (FRESP). FRESP laid the foundation for the South Florida Water Management District Northern Everglades Payment for Environmental Services Program, which pays cattle ranchers to hold back storm water and reduce nutrient runoff into Lake Okeechobee.

Free Samples of Indies Choice Book Award Winners
The American Booksellers Association (ABA) has revealed the winners of the 2012 Indies Choice Book Awards and the E.B. White Read-Aloud Awards, books that show "the spirit of independent bookstores." Below, we've linked to free samples of all the winners.
In an odd turn of events, brother and sister authors Maile Meloy and Colin Meloy tied for the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award this year.
ABA CEO Oren Teicher had this statement: "After a month of voting by the owners and staff at independent bookstores across the country, we have an outstanding list of winners that reflects the types of books independent bookstores champion best … We look forward to saluting the winners and honor recipients at the Celebration of Bookselling Author Awards Luncheon on June 5 at BEA."

URL Rewriting
Apache mod_rewrite
Rewriting with VirtualHosts
Here is a very basic virtual host definition, with the focus being the rewrite rules. These rules direct all requests to index.php, except specified file types (.js, .ico, etc.):
<VirtualHost my.domain.com:80> ServerName my.domain.com ServerRoot /path/to/server/root/ DocumentRoot /path/to/server/root/my.domain.com/www RewriteEngine off <Location /> RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ /index.php </Location> </VirtualHost>
Note the forward slash preceeding 'index.php'. These rules differ from .htaccess rules in that respect.
Rewriting with .htaccess
Routing requests
Again, these rules direct all requests to index.php, except specified file types:
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php
Handling file and directory exceptions
These rules (used immediately prior to the RewriteRule above) exclude real files and directories from the rewriting and lets them pass through unaffected:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
You can also simply allow a specified group of files to pass through unaffected by using this line:
RewriteRule ^(foo|bar).* - [L]
In this case, files foo.* and bar.* will be accessed normally.
For more information, see Jayson Minard's Blueprint for PHP Applications: Bootstrapping.
ISAPI_Rewrite for Microsoft IIS
RewriteRule ^[ZFUSER:\w/\%]*(?:\.(?!(?:js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$)[ZFUSER:\w\%]*$)? /index.php [I]
To learn more about the ISAPI_Rewrite and its syntax, visit the ISAPI_Rewrite documentation.
url.rewrite-once = (".*\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$" => "$0", "" => "/index.php")

Conveniently located just 32 miles from the Arrivals terminal at SLC International Airport, The Canyons Resort is not only one of Utah's most accessible ski areas, it's also the largest. Boasting a whopping 3700 acres of varying terrain that gets buried under an average 355 inches of annual snowfall, The Canyons is a limitless playground for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels.
Locals know that "the goods" on a powder day can be scored by making the networked journey from the base area up Flight of The Canyons gondola to Red Pine Lodge, on to Tombstone chair and across to the summit of 9,990 Chair (known simply a "Ninety-nine-ninety" to the local crowd). Following big storms, the ski patrol does avalanche control work from the crack of dawn (hear that booming of dynamite charges? That's the sounds of your powder day being safely laid out!), and the ropes drop early to get this ominous pocket of the mountain open to the public. Here, find ample steep tree lines that funnel into open bowls. Windward storms accumulate loads of that famous Utah powder in the numerous gullies and aspen groves, tempting expert and advanced riders to stay high on this gem of The Canyons Resort.
Intermediate skiers will love cutting their teeth in the less daunting, but no-less-powder swept Tombstone Express and Dream Catcher drainages, which offer up a more mild approach to cruising through those beautiful quaking aspens or mastering carving turns on the spacious groomed tracks. New skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of The Canyons' internationally staffed Ski and Snowboard School line-up, which includes professionally certified instructors that choose to teach here, and arrive from all over the world each winter to take advantage of The Canyons' excellent learning environment.
When it's time to take a breather, make tracks for the on-mountain dining opportunities that range from basic day lodge menus at Red Pine Lodge or The Sun Dial (think burgers, pizzas, soups) to the upscale fine dining to be found at Lookout Cabin, seated on the ridgeline just atop Golden Eagle lift.
Off of the snow, luxury beckons at the brand new Dakota Lodge, which opened August 2009. Rejuvenate sore muscles with a massage, and bask in the spirit-renewing litany of spa treatments at the renowned Golden Door Spa. After perusing the numerous shops in this cozy winter village, the perfect day is capped off with a great dinner, and here at The Canyons you won't want to miss dining over 5-star culinary creations at Spruce, the high altitude counterpart to San Francisco's award winning restaurant of the same name.

Mini Range DSE901
The Mini Electronic Cigarette
Despite what its name suggests, the 11.5cm Mini electronic cigarette (the DSE901), is in fact midway in size between the 10cm Super and the 15.5cm pen style Classic e-cigarette. Although all 3 are popular and a great example of each of the 3 basic model types upon which most electronic cigarettes are based, the Mini probably outranks both the Super and Classic pen style in the popularity stakes.What you can expect from the Mini
Like the Classic, the Mini is a great workhorse suited to both light and 20+ a day smokers. E liquid capacity-wise, the Mini's cartridges are at least twice the size of the Super's allowing you to vape for longer without having to stop and refill.
As a rough guide, a Mini cartridge holds 0.5ml of e liquid which provides about 50-75 puffs, the approximate equivalent to 5 or 6 tobacco cigarettes. Please remember that these are only rough estimates - a lot depends upon your personal vaping style. Like the Classic, the cartridge mouthpiece on the Mini is whistle-shaped rather than round.Any downsides?
Although the Mini electronic cigarette is a little easier than the Classic to hold between your fingers as you would an analogue cigarette, it's still fairly heavy and unbalanced in comparison to holding the PiLOT. The Mini is certainly more realistic looking than the Classic (which could be good or bad, depending on your viewpoint) but because of its length, not quite as convincing as the Super.Colour Range
For the lovers of anything in pink, we are pleased to tell you not only is the Mini electronic cigarette available in a gorgeous shade of pink, but it even comes with a shocking pink LED (looks 'uber cool' when teamed with a pink laptop and pink mobile phone)!
And don't worry if pink isn't your thing, because the Mini is also available in a nice shiny black, white and sleek silver steel. LED colours are orange, blue, green and pink. Sorry, but for now, the pink Mini battery is only available with pink LED.Mini Starter Kits - are you an original or Eco?
Like the Classic and Super, the Mini electronic cigarette is available in 2 starter packs with identical contents - the original and the Eco. Both include 2 rechargeable batteries, 1 atomiser, 1 battery charger, 5 assorted strength cartridges and your choice of either a UK, European or USA power cord.
The Eco is still carefully packaged instead of its original box.
We know that this small difference is not going to change the world, but less packaging and therefore less environmental waste has got to be good. Also good is the money you save when you purchase the Eco pack - in these tough times, every little counts!Mini Extras
All parts in the starter pack are available to order individually as extras should you want more. Also available to order as an extra is the Mini USB charger which allows a computer to act as the power source for charging your Mini batteries.
And talking of extras, we highly recommend the Mini USB passthrough battery (available only in black, white and silver steel at the moment) which plugs into any USB source. This clever and extremely popular device not only allows you to vape to your heart's content without running out of battery power, it also gives you a legitimate excuse to sit in front of your computer for hours on end - perfect!
IMPORTANT: Never leave your device unattended. When not in use remove the atomiser and place the cartridge in a child resistant container.Free, free, FREE!
Remember that if any of the items in your starter kit (or anything else you buy from us for that matter) stops working we'll replace it free of charge within 30 days of purchase. And finally, don't forget that all orders will be posted to any address in the UK super-fast and completely FREE!
