Make a mask that can match your costume exactly-whether you're going to a Mardi Gras party, or any themed party-using our beads, tape and thread on a purchased plastic mask. It won't take very long to do, and you can create a custom look.
- Plastic eye maskTreasure Tape dots
- Sequins
- Diamond Beadlets®
- Treasure Tape, 8" x 10" sheet
- Shallow pan or tray
- Kreinik #12 Braid in colors to match your theme (we used 1223 Purple)
- For a more elaborate design, trace out a reverse pattern on the white backing of the Treasure Tape sheet (we drew swirls). Cut out. Remove the white backing and lay the design on the mask.
- Lay Treasure Tape dots randomly on the mask. Remove the red liner to expose the sticky top, and lay a sequin on each. Lay the mask in a shallow pan or tray and cover any remaining sticky areas on the dots with Diamond Beadlets.
- Remove the red liner from your larger tape areas, and begin decorating: add thread first, using the #12 Braid to outline the area or make other designs. Then add sequins if desired. When decorating is complete, cover remaining sticky areas with Diamond Beadlets.

We found a nice indoor playground in our area. It cost about $12.50 per child for unlimited access to the big and little kids areas and they had such great stuff! The boys played for about 3 hours and were not ready to go even then. Unlimited time, low admission price....it was a great outing.

Nice looking belt Very nice looking belt strongly recommended. Classic!! November 21, 2014
Firm belt however.. At first when I received this belt I was ecstatic. However a few weeks have passed by and the words on the belt have completely faded away. Unless it was intended I actually liked that it said Express on the belt. Others may prefer it that way but I like to take care of my products and keep them looking new. November 7, 2014
Good looking belt This belt goes well with a variety of styles and the fact it's reversible makes it an everyday item for me. May 22, 2014
Classy looking belt but... I love express and rarely have an issue with purchases from them, but I have owned a few of these over the past two years; they just do not hold up like they used to. On one, the black and brown sides split apart (it looked like they had tried to unsuccessfully glue together two belts to make a "doubled sided" belt), then the next one started rubbing off right on the section that is framed by the buckle when I am wearing it. It looked like peeling paint. Then the latest one is doing the same thing again. I can't justify buying this belt when the past three haven't even lasted one year. April 26, 2014
Good Belt Belt is well put together, use is fairly regularly, not to flashy but elegant enough to wear with a nice blazer, the finish on the belt is also a plus, not to dull and not to shinny, overall great belt to add to any collection January 12, 2014

Recently, after looking in an introductory biology textbook for a description of meiosis, I browsed through its introduction. There, I came upon the following passage:
"For 2,000 years prior to [the Renaissance], scholars had accepted the writings of Aristotle and other ancient philosophers, as well as certain Church doctrines, to be unfaltering truths about the natural world. It took some of the greatest minds in history, including Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, to shake this dominion of dogma and to replace it with theories and laws based on direct observation of nature. Nicholaus Copernicus, and later Galileo, made calculations that the Earth and other planets circle the sun…" (Wessells and Hopson, 1988, p. 11).
Many science textbooks contain similar one-or-two-paragraph histories of how modern science miraculously emerged from the dark swamp of ignorance we call the Middle Ages. The main problem with such stories is that they are almost entirely false. Let's compare the picture painted above with the current understanding of scholars studying the history of the Scientific Revolution.
The first assertion, quite a commonplace one, is that from the time of the ancient Greeks until the Renaissance, the European mind was in the thrall of a dogmatic worldview, based only on authority, and made no progress toward a better understanding of the natural world. It is certainly true that scientific ideas developed much less rapidly during most of the period in question than they have in recent centuries. (Even admitting that much, the figure of "2000 years" in the quote above still seems to overshoot the mark, since it includes the time of pioneers like Archimedes and Ptolemy within its scope.) During the "Dark Ages," in the centuries immediately after the fall of Rome, Western Europe did not challenge the received wisdom in science primarily because it did not do much science at all. People were struggling to survive, and intellectual life fell into abeyance. In fact, contrary to the view expressed in the biology textbook, for most of that period, Aristotle's writings were lost to the West, so that they could hardly have been accepted as "unfaltering truths"!
But as Western European intellectual life revived, scholars began reconsidering the ideas of the ancients. As Bede's Library has it:
"When Aristotle was rediscovered in the West, it was soon established that when there were clear conflicts between his philosophy and the Christian faith, the latter should always prevail. This was not much of a handicap, as on the subject of physical science, faith did not really have a lot to say. The bible could be read non-literally where necessary, as Augustine himself allowed, so William of Conches could even call the creation account in Genesis figurative. Nearly everyone agreed that the earth was a sphere even though the Bible implied a flat earth. But where Aristotle and faith were in clear conflict, such as his claim that the world was uncreated and eternal, it weakened his authority and allowed his ideas to be challenged. This opened the door to the idea of a developing body of knowledge, which is often assumed to have been absent from the medieval outlook."
For example, in the fourteenth century, a group of philosophers, most of them at the University of Paris, developed the impetus theory of motion. It was both a break with one of the central ideas of Aristotle's physics, and a step toward the modern theory of inertia. They also disputed the prevailing belief that the movement of each planet was guided by a conscious being:
"Although the theory of celestial intelligences became a central doctrine in Hellenic, Arabic and scholastic cosmology, it was attacked during the fourteenth century by several scholars, and most incisively in the work of Jean Buridan (died c. 1358) and his pupil Nicole Oresme (1320–1382)."
Nevertheless, Aristotelian physics did remain the primary means of explaining most physical phenomena well into the Scientific Revolution. There is a very good reason for that, which brings us to our next point. The textbook cited above claims that scientists such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton were able "to shake this dominion of [Aristotelian] dogma" with "theories and laws based on direct observation of nature." Once again, the authors are repeating a commonplace view, one that appears in a multitude of popular accounts of the rise of science. The scholastic philosophers who dominated the medieval universities, enraptured with their elaborate metaphysical speculations, ignored the plain facts of the physical world, which were accessible to them if they had simply looked around. The great figures of the Scientific Revolution relied instead on observation, which led them to develop the theories that replaced Aristotelian physics.
But this story, inspiring though it is, runs afoul of the fact that Aristotle was a masterful observer, one whose physical theories are closely based on the world as it appears to the unaided senses. Knowledge, he held, begins with our observations of the world around us. Similarly, Ptolemy constructed his Earth-centered model of the cosmos to accurately reflect the best astronomical observations available to him.
In fact, it was the pioneers of the Scientific Revolution who had to overcome the commonsense view of the world revealed by direct observation in order for their theories to gain acceptance. The most obvious discrepancy between the reports of our senses and the new ideas is that the Earth seems quite plainly to be standing still, while the heavenly bodies clearly appear to be rotating around it. Renaissance man had no experience of, for instance, traveling in an airplane at 600 miles per hour yet feeling as though he wasn't moving. When he moved rapidly, such as on horseback, he could feel that he was moving. And to account for the apparent motions of the heavenly bodies, the Earth would have to rotate at what, for him, was a truly astonishing rate. (At the equator, the actual speed is over 1000 miles per hour.)
What's more, if the Earth was spinning around that rapidly, it seemed that we ought to be able to detect that motion in many ways. For example, if you dropped a rock from a tower, it should fall some distance from the tower's base, in the direction opposite to the Earth's rotation, since the ground would have moved under it as it was falling. The Earth's atmosphere would also be left behind, so that there would be a continuous wind sweeping from east to west at hundreds of miles per hour.
On a more technical level, a major reason that Copernicus's heliocentric (sun-centered) theory was rejected by many leading astronomers of the sixteenth century was the absence of any observed parallax in the "fixed stars." Parallax is the astronomical term for the fact that objects will appear to change their location when observed from different places. If the Earth revolves around the sun, the stars should appear to move slightly during the course of the year, but astronomers observed no such phenomena. (The explanation for that failure is that the stars are much farther away from the Earth than anyone at that time suspected, so that the parallax was too minute for their instruments to detect.)
Copernicus handled the difficulty that presented for his theory with an ad hoc hypothesis, declaring that the sphere of the stars was ten times farther from the Earth than had previously been believed. Not only was the hypothesis ad hoc, it was also, as a Popperian would put it, unfalsifiable: there were no instruments available at the time to measure a parallax as small as the new distance implied. And if a geocentric astronomer had developed a device capable of measuring such a slight change in observed position, Copernicus could (and undoubtedly would) have simply moved the stellar sphere ten times farther away still.
Copernicus also "was puzzled by the variations he had observed in the brightness of the planet Mars. [But] Copernicus's own system was so far from answering to the phenomena in the case of Mars that Galileo in his main work on this subject praises him for clinging to his new theory though it contradicted observation…" (Butterfield, 1949, p. 23).
What's more, as we noted above, Copernicanism violated many of the principles of the Aristotelian physics of his time. Copernicus could not explain why objects didn't fly off the rotating Earth, why the Earth didn't spin itself apart, why dropped objects fell straight to the ground, or what kept celestial objects going in their orbits if not the motion transmitted from sphere to sphere in the Ptolemaic/Aristotelian model. Aristotelian physics explained all of those phenomena in ways that made sense of the observational experience then available. As Butterfield writes:
"In fact, you had to throw over the very frameboard of existing science, and it was here that Copernicus clearly failed to provide an alternative. He provided a neater geometry of the heavens, but it was one which made nonsense of the reasons and explanations that had previously been given to account for the movements in the sky" (1949, p. 27).
Of course, Aristotelian physics had difficulties of its own, but Copernicanism introduced a whole host of new problems, while only eliminating a few: "Most of the essential elements by which we know the Copernican Revolution — easy and accurate computations of planetary position, the abolition of epicycles and eccentrics, the dissolution of the spheres, the sun a star, the infinite expansion of the universe — these and many others are not to be found anywhere in Copernicus's work" (Kuhn, 1957, p. 135).
Nor does the frequent assertion that Copernicus's theory was significantly simpler than Ptolemy's stand up to scrutiny. As Lakatos notes:
"The superior simplicity of the Copernican theory was just as much of a myth as its superior accuracy. The myth of superior simplicity was dispelled by the careful and professional work of modern historians. They reminded us that while Copernican theory solves certain problems in a simpler way than does the Ptolemaic one, the price of the simplification is unexpected complications in the solution of other problems. The Copernican system is certainly simpler since it dispenses with equants and some eccentrics; but each equant and eccentric removed has to be replaced by new epicycles and epicyclets…. he also has to put the centre of the universe not at the Sun, as he originally intended, but at an empty point fairly near to it."
The suggestion that Galileo had all of the evidence on his side in his battle against the Aristotelians and the Church is also erroneous. In his book Two Systems one of the major pieces of evidence he advanced for the Copernican model was the existence of tides. Galileo explained them as arising from the motion of the Earth rocking the oceans back and forth, much as a swinging a bucket containing water will slosh the water up one side of the bucket and then the other.
Of course, this is quite different from our current understanding of tides as arising from the gravitational influence of the moon. But what is really surprising about Galileo's hypothesis, given his common portrayal as a staunch empiricist, is that he had not even investigated the actual period of the tides before forwarding this argument! His theory required a 24-hour tidal cycle, while in fact it is 12 hours. When he learned that sailors in the Mediterranean reported high and low tides occurring every 12 hours, he explained this glaring discrepancy as resulting from local variations in the ocean bottom. (See Shea and Artigas, 2003.)
Galileo also failed to be a "good empiricist" when he ignored his ally Kepler's theory that the planets orbit the sun in elliptical, rather than circular, paths. Kepler's model fit the data much better than Galileo's, yet Kepler's letters to Galileo suggesting elliptical orbits never even solicited a response.
When one looks at the real history of the Scientific Revolution, it becomes apparent that observation was rarely the prime impetus for the development of the most important new theories. Instead, leading scientists drew their main inspiration from their beliefs about the kind of world they envisioned that God would create. Copernicus and Kepler were Neo-Platonists, and it seemed to them that the Sun, the most brilliant light in our world, was a more fitting center for God's creation than the Earth. Copernicus was also dissatisfied with the Ptolemaic model of the heavens because it centered the orbits of heavenly bodies not on the Earth, the supposed center of the cosmos, but on a point called the equant, which was an empty spot in space near to the Earth. Newton was a deeply religious man, who believed that God's work would naturally exhibit the sort of mathematical perfection he hoped to reflect in his own theories.
I came across another very common idea about the Scientific Revolution in browsing a recent issue of National Geographic. Speculating on the impact of the possible future discovery of other, earth-like planets, the article's author writes: "It's hard to overstate the excitement scientists feel at the prospect of seeing that faint blue dot. If it told of a watery, temperate place, humanity would face a 21st-century version of Copernicus's realization nearly 500 years ago that the Earth is not the center of the solar system. The discovery would show 'that were not in a special place, that we might be part of a continuum of life in the cosmos, and that life might be very common,' says Michael Meyer, an astronomer at the University of Arizona."
As a corollary of the above, it's often suggested that many people in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries rejected the idea of a sun-centered solar system because it displaced the Earth from its unique location at the center of the universe, and therefore seemed to make humanity less important in the scheme of creation. However, Professor John Milton, with whom I am studying the history of science at King's College in London, notes that historians have discovered no evidence of any of the contemporaries of Copernicus or Galileo voicing such a concern. And that is not too surprising, when we consider that, in the prevailing cosmology of the time, the center of the cosmos was not a very prestigious place to be. Aristotle regarded it as the region to which gross and corrupt matter gravitated, distinctly inferior to the unchanging perfection exhibited by the heavens. And in Dante's Divine Comedy, the occupant of the Earth's center, and therefore at the precise center of the universe, was none other than Satan himself. To place the Earth in the heavens was to grant it a promotion.
None of what I have presented above is meant to claim that the conservatism typical of entrenched interests, for instance, of the Aristotelians who dominated the universities of the 16th and 17th centuries, did not present an extra-scientific hurdle that new conceptions of the physical world had to surmount, or that the Catholic Church never resisted the progress of science for dogmatic reasons.
But the common, popular version of the history of science, in which unselfish, heroic scientists do battle with the backward forces of religion, is a fairy tale, spun mostly by Voltaire and his followers, in order to discredit the religious belief that they despised. The real history of the Scientific Revolution is much more complex and nuanced than the simplistic morality play they made it out to be. If we are truly interested in understanding the roles that religion and science have played in creating our civilization, we should put aside the myth and attend to the reality.

Most popular pizza: Margherita
Jay's favorites: Pepperoni and crumbled sausage pizza, pesto pizza, chicken picatta and linguini with pesto
Every morning at 7 a.m., Sonny Genovese steps into the kitchen of the city's oldest restaurant and starts preparing his signature sauces.
He grabs a big pan, adding olive oil and spices to start his base. Then for the next two hours he adds at least six cases of cans and fresh ingredients and creates his four signature sauces: marinara, tomato basil, white clam and Alfredo. After five to six hours, he's got everything ready for the lunch and dinner crowds.
"I'm so used to it, I could make it in my sleep," Genovese said. "I'm the only one who does it and it always comes out the same."
For 33 years, the San Clemente native has operated Sonny's Pizza & Pasta. The restaurant, popular throughout Orange County, offers traditional Italian cooking. Famous for its thin-crust pizzas, it's also well-known for home-style dinners such as lasagna, manicotti and its newest dish, lobster macaroni and cheese.
Each day, veteran cooks shove hundreds of pizza pies into the ovens and create multiple dozens of entrees and desserts. Most who eat at Sonny's, including Genovese, say it's the sauce with its perfect consistency and taste that makes the meals and the restaurant.
Despite Genovese's close watch over his family's generations of recipes, some of the secret combinations have been taken from San Clemente across state lines to Colorado and Utah. Specifically, to Pasta Jay's in Denver and Boulder, Colo., and Moab, Utah.
On the back of Pasta Jay's menu at the popular Italian eatery in Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, Jay Elowsky, Genovese's nephew, tells the story of how he brought the San Clemente tradition to the state of Colorado and to the University of Colorado.
Elowsky left Colorado to visit his Aunt Kathy and Uncle Sonny Genovese in San Clemente just a month after Sonny's opened in 1980. He worked for a summer washing dishes and took classes at Saddleback College to get his grades up, with a plan to study political science at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
When Genovese planned a trip to Italy, he asked his nephew Elowsky to take a semester off and run the San Clemente restaurant in his absence.
Elowsky jumped at the opportunity. In that time he diligently learned all of Genovese's recipes and the ingredients and preparation for the secret sauce.
"It was the greatest experience of my life," said Elowsky, 53, a single father of two. "When Uncle Sonny came back from Italy, he asked me what I wanted to do after I graduated from college. I told him I wanted to open a Sonny's. He told me, 'Don't go back to college, I'll teach you everything you need to know.'"
Elowsky opened his first Pasta Jay's in Boulder in 1988. It is the fourth-longest standing restaurant in downtown Boulder. He also feeds the Colorado Buffaloes football team 365 days a year.
Genovese "loved football and told me to do it for free," Elowsky said. "We did it one weekend, then the next and then the next. In 1989 we got the contract and have had it ever since. Sonny's my idol. Everything has to be as good as Sonny's, that's my goal."
Sonny Genovese got his start in cooking learning from his parents, who ran Ernesto's just across from the railroad tracks in north San Clemente.

RELEASED: Nov. 17, 2005
Melodee Hoffner
Jodi Thesing-Ritter
EAU CLAIRE — High-risk drinking among university students and what can be done to address this problem will be the topic of a Nov. 30 luncheon presentation hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Alumni Association.
Melodee Hoffner, M.S., project coordinator for UW-Eau Claire's Center for Alcohol Studies and Education, and Jodi Thesing-Ritter, M.A., principal author of the U.S. Department of Education grant received by UW-Eau Claire to reduce high-risk drinking among first-year students, will give a presentation from noon to 1 p.m. at Sweetwater's restaurant. Their talk, titled "Reducing High-Risk Drinking: We All Have a Role to Play," is part of the Alumni Association's "Let's Do Lunch" series.
Hoffner will share progress updates and ideas for working with the Chippewa Valley to create cultural change while considering the many environmental factors affecting this issue. The discussion will center on ways individuals in the community, particularly alumni, faculty, staff and students can work together to reduce high-risk drinking.
"This has been identified as one of the most pressing public health concerns for this age group," Hoffner, said. "The lifelong ramifications of this behavior make it a serious public health concern."
High-risk drinking is a particularly difficult problem in Wisconsin, Hoffner said, citing a Harvard study that shows Wisconsin leads the nation in adult binge drinking.
"Adults in our state need to realize how marketing, media and social pressures create an atmosphere encouraging high-risk drinking among students." Hoffner said. "Understanding these things will make it possible for us to change the environment and ultimately the behavior."
Upcoming "Let's Do Lunch" speakers, dates and topics include: Crispin Pierce, assistant professor of public health professions, Dec. 28: "Balancing Act: Planning for a Sustainable Wisconsin"; and Arlyn Anderson, M.A. assistant professor of communication and journalism, Jan. 25: "The Role of the American Media in International Crisis."
The speaker series is open to the public. The cost is $10 per session and includes the presentation, buffet, beverage, tax and tip. To reserve tickets, send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (715) 836-3266 for more information.

Enchanting and enriching the community with passionate classical performances, the Beaverton Symphony Orchestra is composed of local masterful musicians showcasing their symphonic sublimity under the guidance of music director Travis Hatton.
Bringing the Oregon Symphony to Salem for over 50 years for a series of concerts and educational opportunities
Though there are no reviews for this performance, the Portland Youth Philharmonic has received rave reviews and press from numerous publications including Oregon Music News and OregonLive.com.
Music director Maria Manzo leads the 60-voice Bravo! Vancouver Chorale and the Washington Chamber Orchestra through George F. Handel's baroque Christmas masterpiece, Messiah. With well-known melodies and brain-stimulating counterpoint, the legendary composition has enthralled listeners for centuries with such dramatic movements as the "Hallelujah Chorus" and the fact that singing the oratorio backwards reveals the message "King George II is Dead." A host of soloists add individual flair to the 18th-century proceedings, weaving their voices through the sonic bombast of trumpets and euphonic delicacy of strings. St. Joseph Catholic Church provides a serene setting for evening, with colored-glass windows beautifully refracting light and temporarily forestalling panic when the sun turns blue.
Beloved boy bands New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys rev the engines of adoration among droves of fans with their poptastic summer tour. New Kids on the Block has been plucking heartstrings and handcrafting harmonies since 1986, combining a collection of international hits such as "Hangin' Tough" and "Step by Step" with five-part choreography and fashionable duds. Following in their footsteps, the Backstreet Boys began blowing up charts in the '90s, producing a songbook replete with favorites such as "I Want It That Way," "All I Have to Give," and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." The NKOTBSB Tour brings both acts together for a songful extravaganza, forming the more perfect union prophesied nearly 50 years ago by the Constitution. The May 25 concert also includes the vocal virtuosity of special guest and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, adding to an ear-pleasing stew of dulcet melodies sure to soothe the most savage beast or most irascible mail carrier.

Continuing Student Scholarships
USC Dornsife offers a number of scholarships each year for continuing USC undergraduate students. Current USC freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with Dornsife majors may apply for these scholarships, which are awarded for the following academic year. Incoming students are not eligible for these scholarships, but may apply for them in subsequent years. These scholarships are one-year awards. These scholarships are not available to students of USC professional schools (e.g. Marshall, Viterbi, Annenberg, etc.). You must have a declared USC Dornsife major to be eligible for an award. Applications from students without a major listed will not be accepted.
The 2014-15 USC Dornsife Continuing Student Scholarship application deadline has passed. Please visit this website in January 2015 for the 2015-16 USC Dornsife Continuing Student Scholarship application.
$1,000 to $5,000 per award
Varies. USC Dornsife Continuing Student Scholarships are a collection of many scholarships available through USC Dornsife.
Open to any current USC undergraduate student who has a major in USC Dornsife and has completed at least one semester at USC (12 units or more). At the time of application and during the 2015-2016 academic year, the student must have full-time status (registered in a minimum of 12 units per semester) and must maintain a Dornsife major. Undecided and undeclared majors are not eligible to apply. A minimum cumulative USC GPA of 3.0 is required. Selection criteria include extracurricular involvement, leadership potential, and campus and community involvement.
Individual awards will vary depending on your financial aid package and/or the number of qualified applicants. Receipt of award monies may alter the allocation of funds within your financial aid package. For example, a student's previously-awarded grant amount may decrease in some situations. Scholarships awarded may only be used to replace University tuition costs and may not be used to cover housing, books, fees, or meal plans.

New COPPA FAQs can help schools make the grade
In a lot of schools, kids are more likely to be looking at screens than at blackboards. One advantage: fewer annoying chalk squeaks. Of course, the benefits of the connected classroom go far beyond that. But educators, administrators, and parents have been asking an important question: How do the protections of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the accompanying FTC rule apply in the school setting?
Checking up on consumer generated health information
Whether it's a website where people diagnosed with the same medical condition can share their stories or an app to find out how long it will take in the gym to burn off a Macadamia Mania Ripple sundae, consumers are taking their health in their own hands – and generating a massive amount of digital data in the process. If you or your clients have jumped into this burgeoning market, here's a development you'll want to follow.
What would your employees do?
The Business Blog reflects sources some might describe as, well, eclectic – everything from Supreme Court jurisprudence to 80s TV. But today's post comes from a message on a neighborhood listerv in Washington, D.C. It starts with a scam, but ends on a note that should be of interest to retailers.
Cram doesn't pay
Cramming unauthorized charges onto phone bills violates the FTC Act, of course. But depending on the circumstances, cases like that also can result in criminal prosecution. Two brothers who bilked consumers out of millions as part of a cramming scam are now behind bars – giving a whole new meaning to the term "cell phone." And the prosecutors who brought the case, Assistant United States Attorneys Hallie Mitchell Hoffman and Kyle F.
Heartbleed May Cause You Some Heartache
If you're thinking "Heartbleed" sounds serious, you're right. But it's not a health condition. It's a critical flaw in OpenSSL, a popular software program that's used to secure websites and other services (like VPN and email). If your company relies on OpenSSL to encrypt data, take steps to fix the problem and limit the damage. Otherwise, your sensitive business documents and your customers' personal information could be at risk.

|American Standard Version (ASV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
|1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?"
|2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
|2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands."
|3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
|3 Then the men of Judah said to the Simeonites their brothers, "Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours." So the Simeonites went with them.
|4 And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
|4 When Judah attacked, the LORD gave the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
|5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
|5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites.
|6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
|6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
|7 And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
|7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
|8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
|8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
|9 And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
|9 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev and the western foothills.
|10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba); and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
|10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.
|11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)
|11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).
|12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
|12 And Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher."
|13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
|13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
|14 And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
|14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What can I do for you?"
|15 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
|15 She replied, "Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." Then Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
|16 And the children of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
|16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went up from the City of Palms with the men of Judah to live among the people of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad.
|17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
|17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites their brothers and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed the city. Therefore it was called Hormah.
|18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.
|18 The men of Judah also took Gaza, Ashkelon and Ekron--each city with its territory.
|19 And Jehovah was with Judah; and drove out [the inhabitants of] the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
|19 The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots.
|20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak.
|20 As Moses had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.
|21 And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
|21 The Benjamites, however, failed to dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites.
|22 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and Jehovah was with them.
|22 Now the house of Joseph attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
|23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)
|23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz),
|24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.
|24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, "Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well."
|25 And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
|25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared the man and his whole family.
|26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.
|26 He then went to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
|27 And Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor [of] Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
|27 But Manasseh did not drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor or Ibleam or Megiddo and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
|28 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
|28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely.
|29 And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
|29 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, but the Canaanites continued to live there among them.
|30 Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to taskwork.
|30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, who remained among them; but they did subject them to forced labor.
|31 Asher drove not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
|31 Nor did Asher drive out those living in Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Aczib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob,
|32 but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
|32 and because of this the people of Asher lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land.
|33 Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to taskwork.
|33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh or Beth Anath; but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them.
|34 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley;
|34 The Amorites confined the Danites to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain.
|35 but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to taskwork.
|35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres, Aijalon and Shaalbim, but when the power of the house of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor.
|36 And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
|36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass to Sela and beyond.

When Hugh Lofting wrote and illustrated his book "Dr. Doolittle" in 1920, it was derived from the creative letters he sent home while on the front lines during World War I. His children thrilled to the good doctor's ability to talk to the animals. Unlike other humans, Dr. Doolittle could interpret the animals' languages and this gave him an advantage in treating their maladies. Each letter brought about a new "chapter" for the kids, and soon Dr. Doolittle's travels had …

Dreams and Disappointment: India's Muslims, the Muhajir, and the Making of
For the past two years, I've sat on the Spring Fling
Committee of the Wesleyan Student Assembly. I also played in a number of bands: Miami
Heat, a former punk act, and Lyons Den, an electronic band. I am the current President of the
Eclectic Society and previously served as its treasurer and House Manager through
Residential Life.
I have immensely enjoyed my academic experience as a CSS major, and accordingly see academia as one of the more likely paths I will follow at some point after graduation. I plan on doing academic research for my senior thesis this summer and think the experience will illuminate what direction to take for my post-graduation life.

Home Made Detox Recipes For Cleansing
Published On:
Blog Category:
No Category
Entry Tags:
Detoxification refers to the process of removing toxic substances from your body. For most people, what this means is the residue of all the undigested junk foods that people spend so much time consuming. Benefits of using detox a recipe includes that you will both bring your system to your healthier level, and aid you with weight reduction.
Diet Books
A detox recipe might include a diversity of ingredients, based on which area of your body you would like to cleanse, in addition to what your individual tastes and preferences are. The goal would be to detoxify the body with healing foods which will revive your system from the inside, and improve your energy and overall well-being.
Detox Recipes
Lemon Detox Diet Recipe
One of the easiest detox recipes to make is really a lemon drink for replacing of all solid foods for a time period of as much as a week or even two. You could also simply substitute a meal or two each day with the lemon beverage if you prefer. This drink is produced with the addition of two tablespoons of brown rice syrup along with two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to a glass packed with water. You might give a dash of fresh grated ginger for taste as well as help your gastrointestinal system function. Use in place of solid food whenever hunger strikes.
Fruit Detox Recipes
Fresh fruits like bananas, apples and strawberries could be used to whip up satisfying detox salads. You may use strawberries, lemon zest, extra soft tofu, and honey to create a delightful dessert.
The apple detox diet advises 72 hours of eating only apples and applesauce, and drinking apple cider and juice. Fruit is a good way of cleansing the body and bringing vitality and wellness in your life.
Before using a new detox recipe, you ought to spend, in the minimum, 7 days eating a light nutritional fare for cleansing your colon and readying your system for your more dynamic detox recipes. This can include avoiding junk foods, and maintaining the healthy diet to get a full week. Look for detox recipes including only wholesome ingredients like fresh vegetables and fruits, extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil, unsalted nuts and seeds, and herb teas.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Les Trois Poussins Hotel
A joy to have found such a lovely quaint hotel!from purrwellcats
If you enjoy a walk, the Galleries Lafayette (department store) is quite close and the Opera Garnier is also near here. We actually walked to the Eiffel Tower, which was a long way but then got a Riverbus (day or two day passes available) to the gorgeous Notre Dame catherdral which is lovely.
There is plenty to do in Paris, including the louvre gallery for art lovers. Quaint cafe's and cuisine's from many cultures; indian, italian and of course French!
And a comfortable room at the end of a busy day is most welcome! I would recommend the Les Trois Poussins!
... debbie.wright193@ntlworldcomfrom A TripAdvisor Member
As all we needed was somewhere to sleep of an evening this was the ideal place to stay.
The rooms are clean, although somewhat small in fact I think our bathroom was larger than the bedroom area.
If we ever needed any help the reception desk was always " manned " and their English was impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble for them, yet the staff were never in your face so to speak.
Ideally located for Metros St Georges, Pigalle and Blanche.
Breakfast is basic, cereals, fresh orange, coffee, yoghurts, fresh bread, croissants etc. Fill up whilst you can, for Paris's prices are EXTORTIONATE !!! i.e. A brandy + Coke and a pint of Guinness will set you back around 8 - 9 GBP
If we were to visit Paris again ( and Im sure we will ) I would not hesitate staying at this hotel again.
Hope this helps!!
Any questions. happy to help ... email above
Tre Bon!from A TripAdvisor Member
Experiencing a Paris neighborhoodfrom davekv
The hotel is small - located on a quiet side street in the Monte Marte district a short walk from the Moulin Rouge in one direction and the Opera House and Galleries Lafayette and PrinTems department stores in the other direction. As with all Parisian neighborhoods, there are dozens of boulangeries bistros and restaurants short walks from the hotel. It is also a very short walk to the St George's underground station on the #12 line.
The room was very, very quiet and peaceful including a modern plasma TV and wi-fi connectivity (for an extra charge). The bathroom and bedrooms were generously sized. Our room looked out over a quiet neighborhood of apartments and we really felt like we experienced Paris right out of the movie stereotypes in Amalie and the Moulin Rouge. We did not take breakfast in the hotel so cannot comment on it. The reception staff were efficient and 2 out of thee were very friendly and helpful. (The third wasn't rude - just not as extroverted).
One word of caution, we were there in winter so did not need air conditioning. I suspect that there is no air conditioning other than opening a window in the summer months.
warm staff, warm bedsfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Great staff and very cozy, a little distant.from A TripAdvisor Member
1. This is the easiest location to get to by train. We arrived form the Eurostar train into Paris and then purchaed a "Carte Orange" pass (5 day pass for the trains. Very cheap way to get around an efficent). Took two trains and were 2 blocks from the hotel.
2. When we arrived, the staff was VERY FRIENDLY. It also helps to speak a little French (make the attempt at least, you'll be repected for trying).
3. We upgraded to the kitchenette room. The room is what you would expect in Europe. Not big but not shabby either. The room was very simple and nicely decorated. The fact the windows open up is great. Also, bed is low to the ground and a litle stiff (we don't mind).
4. The hotel is very quaint and in a very typical parisian city blook. Right on the corner are two restaurants reasonably priced and open late. Seems locals went there.
5. Also loved to go shopping to the local markets for groceries and bread. Very close. Again, you have to be a little versed in French because its more local than touristy in this area.
Only downside I can say is that the "atrium" space is really only two tables and about 20ft x 20ft. Not really a place to "unwind" but who cares? You're not there to lounge.
Finally, only other downside is that this hotel is located in Montmarte. A little further few blocks to the north and then east or west and it gets pretty shady. Also it's about 20 min to any major area by train.
Other than this, the STAFF makes it worth the stay. If you want Paris at a resonable price and more of a "Paris" feel stay here. If you want more luxury and amenities stay in the Eiffel tower area which is almost like staying in Beverly Hills, 5th ave, or Bal Harbour.
PS: Highly recommend Rick Steve's Paris Guide we borrowed from a friend.
Would returnfrom daftpunk
The hotel rooms are small but clean and include a flat screen tv. The staff are friendly and helpful and we would definitely return there.
If you're going by Eurostar, a taxi from the station is about 6 or 7 Euro's.
Quaint location in a quiet neighborhoodfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The room had a flat screen TV (very nice) with local channels. The beds were very confortable, and they even had small and big pillows. Maid service every day as well. Our room looked to the street, but it was very quiet nevertheless. The bathroom was just a shower, not a tub, I would have preferred a tub but all the rooms with tubs were taken. A little bit of mildew in two corners of the shower... no issue, I always travel to Europe with Tilex... even 5 stars hotels might have mildew in their tubs in France... but you are just spending 10-20 mins tops in the bathroom , the rest is seeing Paris, not the rooms of your hotel! Overall, the whole hotel and the rooms were very clean. We also had a kitchennette but we didnt use it.
One more thing for the US travelers, they had 110/120V outlet in the bathroom, so I could plug in my razor without problems, I think that was very nice of them, a lot of nicer and more star hotels dont have converters/plugs with 110/120V.
We didnt do the breakfast for 10E, when you exit the hotel go to the right on Rue Clauzel and hit Rue des Martyrs...You will glance the true french-parisian way of living: small shops, patisseries (bakeries), fresh fruit, fresh cheese, meat markets, and everyone shopping their groceries fresh for the day...
I would definitely stay again at Les Trois Poussins...
accommodating stafffrom A TripAdvisor Member
Nice location near Montmatrefrom A TripAdvisor Member
One note: upon leaving the St. Georges Metro station, walk up rue de Notre Dame Lorette, and then turn right on rue Henri Monier. Take the second right to rue Clauzel, and the hotel is on the right hand side.
Top Local Tips for Paris
Le pre verre A really lovely restaurant in St Germain on rue Thenard (8ieme), which is to become non-smoking as of 6 February 2006, with unusual dishes and great wine. I had onion soup with chorizo 'emulsion', pork in a star anise, cinnamon and cream sauce with cabbage and then roast banana with mango puree and chilli. Mmm. All this for 26 euros on a Friday evening. Wine from about 15 euros/bottle.
Metro Use the Metro system. It is clean, safe, and will get you to anything quickly.
The Arc de Triomphe Don't miss going up the Arc de Triomphe! Great views of the city and of the Eiffel Tower. Also, don't leave Paris w/o doing a boat ride down the Seine!
