The Composers
Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven is regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music, and certainly the most dominant of the 19th century. In taking the Viennese Classicism of Mozart and Haydn to its limits and developing his own intensely personal style, his output heralds the birth of musical romanticism.
Although Beethoven's personal life was often turbulent, he managed to produce some of the most sublime music ever written. Among his most profound works can be counted the nine symphonies, the Missa Solemnis, many of the piano sonatas, the late string quartets, the Piano Concerto No. 5, and his only opera, Fidelio. All enjoy a permanent and important place in the musical canon.
Born in 1770, the son of an obscure musician in the provincial town of Bonn, Beethoven received his early musical training from his father and other local musicians. His talents for composition and the piano were quickly recognised and nurtured by court organist, Christian Gottlob Neefe, for whom the young Beethoven deputised.
Sent to Vienna in 1792 to study with Haydn, Beethoven spent the next decade establishing an enviable reputation as a virtuoso pianist and composer. He published an increasing number of works and enjoyed the patronage of Prince Lichnowsky and the Esterházys among others.
His gradual loss of hearing, though, threatened the course of his career. Realising that his condition was both incurable and permanent, Beethoven shunned social occasions to avoid revealing his potentially damaging secret. By 1818 he was virtually deaf and had to use conversation books to communicate.
Upon learning of his deafness, Beethoven suffered a period of fluctuating moods, powerfully voicing his despair in an 1802 letter to his brothers, the 'Heiligenstadt testament'. Managing to pull himself out of his malaise, Beethoven threw himself into the work that was now spreading his fame all over Europe.
With financial stability finally achieved through the patronage of Beethoven's supporters, Archduke Rudolph, Prince Lobkowitz and Prince Kinsky, Beethoven's professional life reached a peak. His personal life, in contrast, was still in turmoil.
In 1812 he wrote a passionate love-letter to an unknown 'immortal beloved', now thought to be Antoine Brentano, a married and, hence, unavailable woman. This was the culmination of a series of unrequited or doomed love affairs and marked a turning point in the composer's life.
From this point on, Beethoven seems to have accepted the impossibility of marriage and, after a long period of diminished creativity, decided to dedicate his energies to composition. His recovery began in 1817 with the Hammerklavier sonata and continued with the Missa Solemnis, but further conflict with his sister-in-law over custody of his nephew, Karl, kept his personal life turbulent.
After the monumental Ninth Symphony of 1823-4, Beethoven dedicated his last years to the string quartet, though illness began to increasingly disrupt his compositional activities. Beethoven's relationship with his nephew also deteriorated and Karl's attempted suicide in August 1826 shattered the ailing composer. In late 1826 he developed jaundice and, after a lengthy illness, died on 26 March 1827; an estimated 10,000 people attended the funeral three days later.
Beethoven's influence, as both a composer and romantic artist, has proved enormous. His compelling private life and wonderful music ensured that his perceived 'heroic' struggle over personal obstacles became the idealised view of the composer in the romantic era. Similarly, there can be few composers born since that have escaped the shadow of his immense creativity and musicianship. He stands above virtually all others as one of the most admired composers of all time.

In the summer of 1811 Beethoven visited the Bohemian spa town of Teplitz, returning to Vienna refreshed and ready to resume composition. The Seventh Symphony was completed in spring 1812 and the Eighth followed soon after.
The first performance of the Eighth took place on 27 February 1814. The 'little' Eighth suffered from comparison with the 'grand' Seventh, played in the same programme, and has never attained the popularity of its predecessor, though Beethoven considered it the better work. It has been said that the Eighth demands a more sophisticated response from the listener than any other symphony in the series.
The efficient first movement is almost Haydnesque in its techniques, opening with a sunny proclamation. Listen how Beethoven combines the beginning of this theme, towards the climax of the movement, with heavy accented notes. Also listen for the regular tick of the second movement's opening, a supposed tribute to Beethoven's friend Malzel, the inventor of the metronome.

"We are excited to add Todd Cooley to the Delta State University family," said Ronnie Mayers, interim director of athletics. "Coach Cooley has coached at all levels of football and brings with him a knowledge of the Gulf South Conference and NCAA DII. As a student-athlete at Arkansas Tech and as a coach at ATU, Central Arkansas and Ouachita Baptist, DSU competed regularly against coach Cooley and now we are proud to have him as one of our own. We encourage everyone to come out Monday at 11 a.m. to the Alumni House as we welcome him to Delta State."
Known as one of the top offensive coordinators in the country, Cooley brings his high-octane system to Delta State after serving as the offensive coordinator at Northwestern Louisiana State University (2009-2012), University of Central Arkansas (2005-2008) and Arkansas Tech University (2004).
In three years running the NSU offense, Cooley's established the Demons as one of the top units in the Southland Conference. In 2012 under Cooley's tutelage Brad Henderson finished the season ranked seventh in the SLC with 181-of-330 passes completed for 1,874 yards with 14 touchdowns and only four interceptions. The Demons averaged 24.1 points per game and ranked fifth in the league in scoring.
Cooley's explosive offenses at Central Arkansas lit up scoreboards around the Southland Conference in 2007-08 and during his four seasons with the Bears as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. In that time (2005-08), UCA posted an overall 35-13 record, including an 11-3 SLC mark in the Bears' first two years (2007-08) as an NCAA Division I FCS member.
In 2008, Cooley's offense at UCA scored 40 points or more in seven of 12 games. The Bears had six receivers make 23 or more catches, four with 35 or more receptions.
In 2007-08, Cooley's offense averaged 445 yards and 35.4 points per game. In his last season at UCA, the Bears went 10-2, 6-1 in the SLC, led the conference with a 37.5 scoring average and a 48 percent third-down conversion rate.
In 2007-08, the Bears threw for 57 touchdowns and completed 68 percent of their 804 passes with only 14 interceptions -- just four in 400 pass attempts in 2008. UCA ran for 47 touchdowns and 4.2 yards per carry in his last two years. In their first two seasons of full-fledged Division I competition in 2007-08, the Bears averaged 287 passing yards and 157 on the ground while making only 32 turnovers in 23 games.
Cooley helped his alma mater, Arkansas Tech, and UCA to reach the NCAA Division II playoffs in back-to-back seasons in 2004-05. He spent one season at Arkansas Tech, and in 2004 he restructured the Wonder Boys offense from a unit averaging 18.4 points per game in 2003 to a squad that averaged 32.2 per game. Arkansas Tech went 10-2 and became the first Arkansas school to host and win a Division II playoff game.
He was hired at UCA the following February and promptly helped the Bears win the 2005 Gulf States Conference championship and they went on to reach the Division II playoff quarterfinals.
Cooley was also quarterbacks coach from 2001-03 at Ouachita Baptist University for former DSU head coach Todd Knight, quarterbacks and receivers coach in 2000 at Northeastern Oklahoma for a Lone Star Conference championship team that reached the Division II playoffs, and running backs coach in 1998-99 at Arkansas Tech, helping the Wonder Boys win the 1999 Gulf South Conference title.
At UCA, he coached record-shattering quarterback Nathan Brown, the 2008 SLC Player of the Year and the 2007 SLC Offensive Player of the Year. Brown was invited to play in the 2009 Senior Bowl, and is now coaching at UCA. He also coached a record-setting passer at Arkansas Tech in 2004, an All-Lone Star Conference quarterback in 2000 at Northeast Oklahoma and the 1999 Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Year at Arkansas Tech.
As a player, Cooley set 13 school records at quarterback for Arkansas Tech in 1996-97 and was a finalist for the 1997 Harlon Hill Trophy presented to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division II. He was also Academic All-GSC in 1997 and was named to the Daktronics All-Region Team in 1997.
At Nashville (Ark.) High School, he was an all-state passer for coach Billy Laird. In 1993, Cooley's senior year, the Scrappers became the first NHS team to reach the state championship game as Cooley broke state single-season passing record by throwing for over 2,300 yards.
Born September 7, 1975, Cooley married the former Lisa Gatlin of Conway, Ark., on July 16, 2005. His parents are Don and Lynne Cooley, who reside in Nashville, Ark. Cooley's father is a longtime Arkansas high school football coach and his mother is a reading specialist for the state of Arkansas. Cooley has two younger sisters, Paige Fisher of Russellville, Ark., and Kristi Simms of Natchitoches.

The desolations of Samaria. (1-4) The prosperity of Judah; with reproofs for sinfulness and unbelief. (5-15) Christ is pointed out as the sure Foundation for all believers. (16-22) God's dealings with his people. (23-29)
Verses 1-4 What men are proud of, be it ever so mean, is to them as a crown; but pride is the forerunner of destruction. How foolishly drunkards act! Those who are overcome with wine are overcome by Satan; and there is not greater drudgery in the world than hard drinking. Their health is ruined; men are broken in their callings and estates, and their families are ruined by it. Their souls are in danger of being undone for ever, and all merely to gratify a base lust. In God's professing people, like Israel, it is worse than in any other. And he is just in taking away the plenty they thus abuse. The plenty they were proud of, is but a fading flower. Like the early fruit, which, as soon as discovered, is plucked and eaten.
Verses 5-15 The prophet next turns to Judah, whom he calls the residue of his people. Happy are those alone, who glory in the Lord of hosts himself. Hence his people get wisdom and strength for every service and every conflict. But it is only in Christ Jesus that the holy God communicates with sinful man. And whether those that teach are drunk with wine, or intoxicated with false doctrines and notions concerning the kingdom and salvation of the Messiah, they not only err themselves, but lead multitudes astray. All places where such persons have taught are filled with errors. For our instruction in the things of God, it is needful that the same precept and the same line should be often repeated to us, that we may the better understand them. God, by his word, calls us to what is really for our advantage; the service of God is the only true rest for those weary of the service of sin, and there is no refreshment but under the easy yoke of the Lord Jesus. All this had little effect upon the people. Those who will not understand what is plain, but scorn and despise it as mean and trifling, are justly punished. If we are at peace with God, we have, in effect, made a covenant with death; whenever it comes, it cannot do us any real damage, if we are Christ's. But to think of making death our friend, while by sin we are making God our enemy, is absurd. And do not they make lies their refuge who trust in their own righteousness, or to a death-bed repentance? which is a resolution to sin no more, when it is no longer in their power to do so.
Verses 16-22 Here is a promise of Christ, as the only foundation of hope for escaping the wrath to come. This foundation was laid in Zion, in the eternal counsels of God. This foundation is a stone, firm and able to support his church. It is a tried stone, a chosen stone, approved of God, and never failed any who made trial of it. A corner stone, binding together the whole building, and bearing the whole weight; precious in the sight of the Lord, and of every believer; a sure foundation on which to build. And he who in any age or nation shall believe this testimony, and rest all his hopes, and his never-dying soul on this foundation, shall never be confounded. The right effect of faith in Christ is, to quiet and calm the soul, till events shall be timed by Him, who has all times in his own hand and power. Whatever men trust to for justification, except the righteousness of Christ; or for wisdom, strength, and holiness, except the influences of the Holy Ghost; or for happiness, except the favour of God; that protection in which they thought to shelter themselves, will prove not enough to answer the intention. Those who rest in a righteousness of their own, will have deceived themselves: the bed is too short, the covering too narrow. God will be glorified in the fulfilling of his counsels. If those that profess to be members of God's church, make themselves like Philistines and Canaanites, they must expect to be dealt with as such. Then dare not to ridicule the reproofs of God's word, or the approaches of judgements.
Verses 23-29 The husbandman applies to his calling with pains and prudence, in all the works of it according to their nature. Thus the Lord, who has given men this wisdom, is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in his working. As the occasion requires, he threatens, corrects, spares, shows mercy, or executes vengeance. Afflictions are God's threshing instruments, to loosen us from the world, to part between us and our chaff, and to prepare us for use. God will proportion them to our strength; they shall be no heavier than there is need. When his end is answered, the trials and sufferings of his people shall cease; his wheat shall be gathered into the garner, but the chaff shall be burned with unquenchable fire.
The twenty-eighth through thirty-third chapters form almost one continuous prophecy concerning the destruction of Ephraim, the impiety and folly of Judah, the danger of their league with Egypt, the straits they would be reduced to by Assyria, from which Jehovah would deliver them on their turning to Him; the twenty-eighth chapter refers to the time just before the sixth year of Hezekiak's reign, the rest not very long before his fourteenth year.
1. crown of pride--Hebrew for "proud crown of the drunkards," &c. [HORSLEY], namely, Samaria, the capital of Ephraim, or Israel. "Drunkards," literally ( Isaiah 28:7 Isaiah 28:8 , Isaiah 5:11 Isaiah 5:22 , Amos 4:1 , 6:1-6 ) and metaphorically, like drunkards, rushing on to their own destruction.
beauty . . . flower--"whose glorious beauty or ornament is a fading flower." Carrying on the image of "drunkards"; it was the custom at feasts to wreathe the brow with flowers; so Samaria, "which is (not as English Version, 'which are') upon the head of the fertile valley," that is, situated on a hill surrounded with the rich valleys as a garland ( 1 Kings 16:24 ); but the garland is "fading," as garlands often do, because Ephraim is now close to ruin (compare Isaiah 16:8 ); fulfilled 721 B.C. ( 2 Kings 17:6 2 Kings 17:24 ).
2. strong one--the Assyrian ( Isaiah 10:5 ).
cast down--namely, Ephraim ( Isaiah 28:1 ) and Samaria, its crown.
with . . . hand--with violence ( Isaiah 8:11 ).
3. crown . . . the drunkards--rather, "the crown of the drunkards."
4. Rather, "the fading flower, their glorious beauty ( Isaiah 28:1 ), which is on the head of the fat (fertile) valley, shall be as the early fig" [G. V. SMITH]. Figs usually ripened in August; but earlier ones (Hebrew bikkurah, Spanish bokkore) in June, and were regarded as a delicacy ( Jeremiah 24:2 , Hosea 9:10 , Micah 7:1 ).
while it is yet--that is, immediately, without delay; describing the eagerness of the Assyrian Shalmaneser, not merely to conquer, but to destroy utterly Samaria; whereas other conquered cities were often spared.
5-13. The prophet now turns to Judah; a gracious promise to the remnant ("residue"); a warning lest through like sins Judah should share the fate of Samaria.
crown--in antithesis to the "fading crown" of Ephraim ( Isaiah 28:1 Isaiah 28:3 ).
the residue--primarily, Judah, in the prosperous reign of Hezekiah ( 2 Kings 18:7 ), antitypically, the elect of God; as He here is called their "crown and diadem," so are they called His ( Isaiah 62:3 ); a beautiful reciprocity.
6. Jehovah will inspire their magistrates with justice, and their soldiers with strength of spirit.
turn . . . battle to . . . gate--the defenders of their country who not only repel the foe from themselves, but drive him to the gates of his own cities ( 2 Samuel 11:23 , 2 Kings 18:8 ).
7. Though Judah is to survive the fall of Ephraim, yet "they also" (the men of Judah) have perpetrated like sins to those of Samaria ( Isaiah 5:3 Isaiah 5:11 ), which must be chastised by God.
erred . . . are out of the way--"stagger . . . reel." Repeated, to express the frequency of the vice.
priest . . . prophet--If the ministers of religion sin so grievously, how much more the other rulers ( Isaiah 56:10 Isaiah 56:12 )!
vision--even in that most sacred function of the prophet to declare God's will revealed to them.
judgment--The priests had the administration of the law committed to them ( Deuteronomy 17:9 , 19:17 ). It was against the law for the priests to take wine before entering the tabernacle ( Leviticus 10:9 , Ezekiel 44:21 ).
9, 10. Here the drunkards are introduced as scoffingly commenting on Isaiah's warnings: "Whom will he (does Isaiah presume to) teach knowledge? And whom will He make to understand instruction? Is it those (that is, does he take us to be) just weaned, &c.? For (he is constantly repeating, as if to little children) precept upon precept," &c.
line--a rule or law. [MAURER]. The repetition of sounds in Hebrew. tzav latzav, tzav latzav, gav laqav, gav laquav, expresses the scorn of the imitators of Isaiah's speaking; he spoke stammering ( Isaiah 28:11 ). God's mode of teaching offends by its simplicity the pride of sinners ( 2 Kings 5:11 2 Kings 5:12 , 1 Corinthians 1:23 ). Stammerers as they were by drunkenness, and children in knowledge of God, they needed to be spoken to in the language of children, and "with stammering lips" (compare Matthew 13:13 ). A just and merciful retribution.
11. For--rather, "Truly." This is Isaiah's reply to the scoffers: Your drunken questions shall be answered by the severe lessons from God conveyed through the Assyrians and Babylonians; the dialect of these, though Semitic, like the Hebrew, was so far different as to sound to the Jews like the speech of stammerers (compare Isaiah 33:19 , 36:11 ). To them who will not understand God will speak still more unintelligibly.
12. Rather, "He (Jehovah) who hath said to them."
this . . . the rest--Reference may be primarily to "rest" from national warlike preparations, the Jews being at the time "weary" through various preceding calamities, as the Syro-Israelite invasion ( Isaiah 7:8 ; compare Isaiah 30:15 , 22:8 , 39:2 , 36:1 , 2 Kings 18:8 ). But spiritually, the "rest" meant is that to be found in obeying those very "precepts" of God ( Isaiah 28:10 ) which they jeered at (compare Jeremiah 6:16 , Matthew 11:29 ).
13. But--rather, "Therefore," namely, because "they would not hear" ( Isaiah 28:12 ).
that they might go--the designed result to those who, from a defect of the will, so far from profiting by God's mode of instructing, "precept upon precept," &c., made it into a stumbling-block ( Hosea 6:5 , 8:12 , Matthew 13:14 ).
go, and fall--image appropriately from "drunkards" ( Isaiah 28:7 , which they were) who in trying to "go forward fall backward."
15. said--virtually, in your conduct, if not in words.
covenant--There may be a tacit reference to their confidence in their "covenant" with the Assyrians in the early part of Hezekiah's prosperous reign, before he ceased to pay tribute to them, as if it ensured Judah from evil, whatever might befall the neighboring Ephraim ( Isaiah 28:1 ). The full meaning is shown by the language ("covenant with death--hell," or sheol) to apply to all lulled in false security spiritually ( Psalms 12:4 , Ecclesiastes 8:8 , Jeremiah 8:11 ); the godly alone are in covenant with death ( Job 5:23 , Hosea 2:18 , 1 Corinthians 3:22 ).
overflowing scourge--two metaphors: the hostile Assyrian armies like an overwhelming flood.
pass through--namely, through Judea on their way to Egypt, to punish it as the protector of Samaria ( 2 Kings 17:4 ).
lies--They did not use these words, but Isaiah designates their sentiments by their true name ( Amos 2:4 ).
16. Literally, "Behold Me as Him who has laid"; namely, in My divine counsel ( Revelation 13:8 ); none save I could lay it ( Isaiah 63:5 ).
stone--Jesus Christ; Hezekiah [MAURER], or the temple [EWALD], do not realize the full significancy of the language; but only in type point to Him, in whom the prophecy receives its exhaustive accomplishment; whether Isaiah understood its fulness or not ( 1 Peter 1:11 1 Peter 1:12 ), the Holy Ghost plainly contemplated its fulfilment in Christ alone; so in Isaiah 32:1 ; compare Genesis 49:24 , Psalms 118:22 , Matthew 21:42 , Romans 10:11 , Ephesians 2:20 .
tried--both by the devil ( Luke 4:1-13 ) and by men ( Luke 20:1-38 ), and even by God ( Matthew 27:46 ); a stone of tested solidity to bear the vast superstructure of man's redemption. The tested righteousness of Christ gives its peculiar merit to His vicarious sacrifice. The connection with the context is; though a "scourge" shall visit Judea ( Isaiah 28:15 ), yet God's gracious purpose as to the elect remnant, and His kingdom of which "Zion" shall be the center, shall not fail, because its rests on Messiah ( Matthew 7:24 Matthew 7:25 , 2 Timothy 2:19 ).
precious--literally "of preciousness," so in the Greek, ( 1 Peter 2:7 ). He is preciousness.
corner-stone--( 1 Kings 5:17 , 7:9 , Job 38:6 ); the stone laid at the corner where two walls meet and connecting them; often costly.
make haste--flee in hasty alarm; but the Septuagint has "be ashamed"; so Romans 9:33 , and 1 Peter 2:6 , "be confounded," substantially the same idea; he who rests on Him shall not have the shame of disappointment, nor flee in sudden panic (see Isaiah 30:15 , 32:17 ).
17. line--the measuring-line of the plummet. HORSLEY translates, "I will appoint judgment for the rule, and justice for the plummet." As the corner-stone stands most perpendicular and exactly proportioned, so Jehovah, while holding out grace to believers in the Foundation-stone, will judge the scoffers ( Isaiah 28:15 ) according to the exact justice of the law (compare James 2:13 ).
hail--divine judgment ( Isaiah 30:30 , 32:19 ).
18. disannulled--obliterated, as letters traced on a waxen tablet are obliterated by passing the stylus over it.
trodden down--passing from the metaphor in "scourge" to the thing meant, the army which treads down its enemies.
19. From the time, &c.--rather, "As often as it comes over (that is, passes through), it shall overtake you" [HORSLEY]; like a flood returning from time to time, frequent hostile invasions shall assail Judah, after the deportation of the ten tribes.
vexation . . . understand . . . report--rather, "It shall be a terror even to hear the mere report of it" [MAURER], ( 1 Samuel 3:11 ). But G. V. SMITH, "Hard treatment (HORSLEY, 'dispersion') only shall make you to understand instruction"; they scorned at the simple way in which the prophet offered it ( Isaiah 28:9 ); therefore, they must be taught by the severe teachings of adversity.
20. Proverbial, for they shall find all their sources of confidence fail them; all shall be hopeless perplexity in their affairs.
21. Perazim--In the valley of Rephaim ( 2 Samuel 5:18 2 Samuel 5:20 , 1 Chronicles 14:11 ), there Jehovah, by David, broke forth as waters do, and made a breach among the Philistines, David's enemies, as Perazim means, expressing a sudden and complete overthrow.
Gibeon--( 1 Chronicles 14:16 , 2 Samuel 5:25 , Margin); not Joshua's victory ( Joshua 10:10 ).
strange--as being against His own people; judgment is not what God delights in; it is, though necessary, yet strange to Him ( Lamentations 3:33 ).
work--punishing the guilty ( Isaiah 10:12 ).
22. mockers--a sin which they had committed ( Isaiah 28:9 Isaiah 28:10 ).
bands--their Assyrian bondage ( Isaiah 10:27 ); Judah was then tributary to Assyria; or, "lest your punishment be made still more severe" ( Isaiah 24:22 ).
consumption--destruction ( Isaiah 10:22 Isaiah 10:23 , Daniel 9:27 ).
23. Calling attention to the following illustration from husbandry ( Psalms 49:1 Psalms 49:2 ). As the husbandman does his different kinds of work, each in its right time and due proportion, so God adapts His measures to the varying exigencies of the several cases: now mercy, now judgments; now punishing sooner, now later (an answer to the scoff that His judgments, being put off so long, would never come at all, Isaiah 5:19 ); His object being not to destroy His people any more than the farmer's object in threshing is to destroy his crop; this vindicates God's "strange work" ( Isaiah 28:21 ) in punishing His people. Compare the same image, Jeremiah 24:6 , Hosea 2:23 , Matthew 3:12 .
24. all day--emphatic; he is not always ploughing: he also "sows," and that, too, in accordance with sure rules ( Isaiah 28:25 ).
doth he open--supply "always." Is he always harrowing?
25. face--the "surface" of the ground: "made plain," or level, by harrowing.
fitches--rather, "dill," or "fennel"; Nigella romana, with black seed, easily beaten out, used as a condiment and medicine in the East. So the Septuagint, "cummin" was used in the same way.
cast in . . . principal wheat--rather, plant the wheat in rows (for wheat was thought to yield the largest crop, by being planted sparingly [PLINY, Natural History, 18.21]); [MAURER]; "sow the wheat regularly" [HORSLEY]. But GESENIUS, like English Version, "fat," or "principal," that is, excellent wheat.
appointed barley--rather, "barley in its appointed place" [MAURER].
in their place--rather, "in its (the field's) border" [MAURER].
26. to discretion--in the due rules of husbandry; God first taught it to man ( Genesis 3:23 ).
27. The husbandman uses the same discretion in threshing. The dill ("fitches") and cummin, leguminous and tender grains, are beaten out, not as wheat, &c., with the heavy corn-drag ("threshing instrument"), but with "a staff"; heavy instruments would crush and injure the seed.
cart wheel--two iron wheels armed with iron teeth, like a saw, joined together by a wooden axle. The "corn-drag" was made of three or four wooden cylinders, armed with iron teeth or flint stones fixed underneath, and joined like a sledge. Both instruments cut the straw for fodder as well as separated the corn.
staff--used also where they had but a small quantity of corn; the flail ( Ruth 2:17 ).
28. Bread corn--corn of which bread is made.
bruised--threshed with the corn-drag (as contrasted with dill and cummin, "beaten with the staff"), or, "trodden out" by the hoofs of cattle driven over it on the threshing-floor [G. V. SMITH], ( Deuteronomy 25:4 , Micah 4:13 ).
because--rather, "but" [HORSLEY]; though the corn is threshed with the heavy instrument, yet he will not always be thus threshing it.
break it--"drive over it (continually) the wheel" [MAURER].
horsemen--rather, "horses"; used to tread out corn.
29. This also--The skill wherewith the husbandman duly adjusts his modes of threshing is given by God, as well as the skill ( Isaiah 28:26 ) wherewith he tills and sows ( Isaiah 28:24 Isaiah 28:25 ). Therefore He must also be able to adapt His modes of treatment to the several moral needs of His creatures. His object in sending tribulation (derived from the Latin tribulum, a "threshing instrument," Luke 22:31 , Romans 5:3 ) is to sever the moral chaff from the wheat, not to crush utterly; "His judgments are usually in the line of our offenses; by the nature of the judgments we may usually ascertain the nature of the sin" [BARNES].

Vickroy: MLK friend says much has been accomplished, much remains to be done
By Donna Vickroy email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy January 21, 2013 3:38PM
Juanita Jones Abernathy, widow of civil rights leader the Rev. Dr. Ralph Abernathy, addressed the Union League Club of Chicago during Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the presidential inauguration, Monday, January 21, 2013. l John H. White~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 23, 2013 6:07AM
History came alive Monday for eight Southland honor students who marked the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday by first paying tribute to the past, and then ushering in the future.
During a celebratory breakfast gathering at the Union League Club of Chicago, the students, all juniors at Southland College Prep Charter High School in Richton Park, had the honor of welcoming civil rights activist Juanita Jones Abernathy, who spoke about the long, difficult and often bloody road that eventually brought Barack Obama to the White House.
Afterward, they listened as the nation's 44th president outlined the work that still needs to be done.
"It was as if President Obama knew exactly what Ms. Abernathy was going to say," said Asia Jenkins, 16, of Olympia Fields. "The two speeches flowed together nicely."
Abernathy, widow of Ralph Abernathy, grew up in the same county as King's wife, Coretta Scott King. The two couples were close friends as well as compatriots at the forefront of America's civil rights movement. Today, only Abernathy survives. No small feat, either, considering her house was bombed while she and then-infant daughter Gwendolyn slept.
"One of the greatest accomplishments for me is to be a black woman who helped to make it possible for Barack Hussein Obama to be president," Abernathy said. "He's standing on my shoulders."
In addition to describing King as "a wonderful man with a great sense of Humor who could tease you to death," Abernathy recounted the details of the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, when blacks in Alabama joined forces to end the humiliating system that relegated them to the backs of buses. She said Montgomery blazed a trail to Birmingham, which led to Selma, which led to Albany, which gave way to Chicago.
"Chicago was a mess back then," she said, calling the Windy City "Up South," a term blacks gave to northern cities that were just as segregated and racist as those in the South.
On her first shopping trip to a Marshall Field's department store, Abernathy was told there were no hats in her size. When she protested that no one had asked her hat size, she was told again that there were no selections that would fit her.
She recalled the fight to get blacks to register to vote, then the subsequent fight to end the special poll tax that was applied to those who tried to exercise that right. She talked about the struggle to desegregate schools, which led to the struggle to desegregate neighborhoods.
Then she surprised the audience by saying much of the work done to advance civil rights was done by women.
"Women were the backbone of the movement," she said.
She added that the great amount of work that remains to be done will likely fall on the backs of women.
"As women, we hit that glass ceiling a lot faster. We live in a very chauvinistic society," she said. "But we can't give up, we have to keep moving forward."
She encouraged the young people in the audience, many of whom are members of the Union League Boys and Girls clubs, to "take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Remember you have the ability, you are as good as anybody and whatever field you pursue, go to the top."
Aronna Wynne said Abernathy's speech was "wonderfully inspiring."
The 16-year-old from Olympia Fields said it affected her so much, "I am now redirecting my future." Instead of becoming a lawyer, she wants to be an advocate for women.
Imani Thornton, 17, of Matteson, said, "She exposed things that you don't hear talked about a lot in American politics: women's rights."
Ashley Jackson said, "This was my first time hearing someone from the civil rights movement speak in person. To know that she was there when major events occurred. It's just crazy. The history books can't tell it like this."
The 17-year-old Matteson resident was equally moved by Obama's speech.
"His was more than a speech. It was emotional for me," she said. "I love what was behind it."
Ashley, who has been following Obama's work since she was in middle school, said the president will have his hands full this next term dealing with a divided Congress. Getting people to work together for the greater good is more difficult for Obama, she said, "because he is a man of color."
"Just look at the fiscal cliff. It's baffling how something so necessary couldn't get done," she said.
Though he was the lone male in the Southland Prep group, Ian Katiku, 16, said it was interesting to learn about the women behind the civil rights movement.
"I never knew how much they did," he said.
The Park Forest resident, who plans to pursue international business one day, also said he appreciated it when Obama reiterated Abernathy's call for equal rights for women.
"I think the biggest problem in this country right now is the growing disparity in wealth," he said. "It will be interesting to see how he will resolve this."
Banging bangs
On Sunday, news about Michelle Obama's new haircut, which features full bangs, was among the top trending stories. We decided to ask the experts what they think. Here are five teenagers' thoughts on the look:
"They make her look younger," Asia Jenkins, 16, Olympia Fields
"They make a good fashion statement," Kyla Richardson, 16, Matteson
"They give her a little edge," Nadia Ferrer, 16, Olympia Fields
"They're stylish and fresh," Ian Katiku, 16, Park Forest
"I like them, but I'm a girl with bangs myself," Ashley Jackson, 17, Matteson

G2 is produced by Gatorade, who says, "G2 has the same amount of electrolytes as our original Gatorade formula, but with only 20 calories per serving.It is a low-calorie sports drink that helps athletes stay fueled for ultimate performance."
I was never really a fan of the original Gatorade, but I received a sample of G2 Grape Electrolyte Beverage, which, in my opinion is much better than the original.
The flavor is slightly sweet - a little sweeter than the usual flavored water - with a hint of grape flavor. So what's in this? Water, sucrose syrup, citric acid, salt, sodium citrate, natural and artificial flavor, monopotassium phosphate, sucralose, acesulfame K, red 40, blue 1. I really don't do any activity often enough to have the need to fuel up during the exercise - I'm only up to running about 4 miles a day - so I don't know if this helps performance.
I have to admit that I was very surprised with how much I liked this, having not been a fan of Gatorade previously. Each 20 ounce bottle provides 50 calories and 5 grams of sugars.
I've seen G2 Grape Electrolyte Beverage for $0.99 - $1.69 (20 ounce) and would definitely keep this on hand for a quick post-workout shot of fast absorbing carbs on occasion. As much as I like drinking water, sometimes a girl just needs some flavah!

Potato chips are looked at like the devil's spawn because of the high fat & low nutritional value - so are other types of chips more ... wholesome? Well, when I saw Route 11 Sweet Potato Chips at the grocery store recently, I decided to check it out to see if these were any better than regular potato chips. The packaging says these chips are lightly salted, all natural, wheat and gluten free plus made using all natural sea salt.
These chips certainly are mighty tasty. They're sturdy yet crunchy, and are slightly sweet and slightly salty at the same time - it sounds like an odd combo, but somehow it all works together and a yummy chip is the result.
Each 1 ounce (28 gram) serving of Route 11 Sweet Potato Chips provides 140 calories, 7 grams of total fat (11% of the daily value), 1 gram of which is saturated fat (5% of the DV), 55 mg sodium (6% of the DV), 4 grams of sugars, 2 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. Plus there is 120% of the daily value for vitamin A. When you compare these chips to Lays (Classic) Potato Chips, they come out on top. A 28 gram serving of Lays provides 160 calories, 10 grams of total fat (16% of the daily value) and 170 mg of sodium.
The ingredients are simply sweet potatoes, peanut oil and/or high monounsaturated sunflower oil and Real Salt (sea salt). I bought a 42 gram bag of Route 11 Sweet Potato Chips - unfortunately, that is 1.5 servings, meaining 16% of the daily value for total fat - definitely something to watch out for.
So nutritionally, I would prefer these sweet potato chips over a bag of Lays Classic Potato Chips, but something like Glenny's Sea Salt Spud Delites Review has less calories and fat, and is just as tasty.
Have you tried sweet potato chips before? Did you like it?

Brent Morel among White Sox cuts
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN firstname.lastname@example.com March 19, 2013 12:24PM
Updated: March 19, 2013 4:46PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Brent Morel, the White Sox Opening Day third baseman in 2012 who was attempting to re-establishing his place with the team this spring after coming back from a back injury, was optioned to AAA Charlotte on Tuesday.
The White Sox made four other roster cuts, also optioning right-hander Deunte Heath to Charlotte and re-assigning infielder Carlos Sanchez, right-hander Zach Stewart and left-hander Daniel Moskos to minor-league camp.
"I don't think there's really much to say besides it sucks, it's not what you're looking for,'' Morel said.
Morel's chances of making the team took a hit when the club traded for left-handed hitting Conor Gillaspie early in camp. The Sox were thin on left-handed bats, and Gillaspie has hit .313 in Cactus League games. They also signed free agent Jeff Keppinger during the off-season and pegged him as their third baseman.
Morel, 25, batted .216. His back has felt good, so that has been encouraging.
"I put in a lot of work and feeling healthy again for the first time in a long time,'' Morel said. "Hopefully it translates. I had a good talk with them. They're really pleased with my attitude and how I've been playing, my health. It's just one of those things where there's really not enough room right now. I will do what I can to go down there and play for however long it takes, but show them and everybody else that I'm healthy and playing well and kind of go from there."
The Sox have 36 players left in major-league camp, including 18 pitchers, three catchers, nine infielders and six outfielders.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

My son is 3 1/2 now and has been going to the same daycare since he was 1. It's been the same routine....drop him off in the morning when I go to work, and I pick him up at the end of the day (father is not in the picture so my son knows i am the one that only gets him). Well, for the last 3 weeks its been a crying, screaming mess when i drop him off. Every morning for the last two years, he gets a little sad when I drop him off but is excited to play with his friends all day. All of a sudden, it has becoming a tramatic event each morning and it breaks my heart. Is anyone else going through this? Is it the age? Does anyone have any tips to reassure him I come back every day (I have been constantly telling him and it's never changed over the last few years). There hasn't been any new daycare teachers or kids coming and going so it's not a change in atmosphere.

Hi there I went through this with my son at three years old and unfortunately it carried over off and on into 4 years old as well. Is your child ok after you leave? How quickly does he calm down once you are gone? With my son, my teacher would have to pry him from my leg screaming "mama, don't leave". Til this day I get teary thinking about those times. It was so hard. I would just keep it brief and say, Mommy will be back later, you play with your friends and have fun. No that didn't calm him down but the teacher said within 5-10 minutes he was fine and totally fine the rest of the day. I couldn't understand why this started all of a sudden when nothing had changed and he loved his little preschool. Til this day I still don't know! My only advice would be to not drag out the goodbye, keep it brief...kiss...hug...mommy loves you and I'll be back later. Oh wait, one thing I did with my son is I would kiss the top of his hand. I would tell him he had Mommy's kiss on his hand with him all day and anytime he missed me he could look down at his hand and know my kiss was there and that I would be back. I told him that Mommy kisses won't wash off during the day so he wouldn't have an excuse to not wash his hands! Eventually we even did a shiny rock that he would keep in his pocket all day. Same thing...I would kiss it and sometimes he would too and if he missed me he could put his hand in his pocket and feel that rock and know he was ok. I wish there was a magic wand for times like this! It's so hard for us Mama's too!

I have been in child care for 26 years. This is a stage that most children go through at this age. Some it may be as mild as a few days of just being a bit sad, for others, its prying fingers out of children's hair and leaving crying about as hard as the child is. But, its also a good sign, your child is beginning to develop deeper connections with you as a parent. They are maturing and realize, although school is fun. Its you they really desire to be with the most. Now, for ideas to make it easier. Try not to begin talking about daycare too early in the morning. Wait until the drive, then build them up about what they are going to do. Tell them you wish you could go to daycare but you are having to go to work. Make it as boring as possible lol. I have seen others with ideas on things the child can bring with them, that is a GREAT idea. We discourage toys since a broken toy may also upset a child. We do encourage books (fits well in their to go home pockets on the door and when they no longer need it, has a place to go so it will not get broken or lost) or movies. A picture of mom is a great thing. Or even make them a small book of their favorite things, mom, dad, pet, house. put in ziplock bags and staple them together, put construction paper or index cards in with the picture to make it stiffer, staple the paper with the bags to strengthen the binding. During the day, they can go to their pocket and get their book if they feel sad. Tips on when you get there. Get your child to walk from the car, the seperation is much easier from the leg than around the neck. Say your goodbyes as soon as you come in the door so when you get to your child's teacher (the moment of the most stress for both of you) you can hand off and step back real quick. The quicker the seperation, the quicker the child will calm back down. We encourage our parents to stand out of sight till the child calms down. Its horrible to leave and hear your child crying. If you must sign in as we do, do that before handing your child off to the teacher, if you have forms for medications, try to ask for them the day before so they can be filled out before you get there to shorten the time for anxiety to grow. Place medication and forms in a ziplock bag so its easier to handle if your child fights also. If your teacher needs to know anything for the day (Aunt Suzie is picking up early, etc.) write it down before you leave home and hand it over with the child. Or tell the child to give it to their teacher as they go into the room. Sometimes having a job to do helps calm their nerves a bit. If your child is the type that does not quit crying quickly, or you do not have a place or the time to stand and wait until they quit, ask the director when would be a good time to call and check to see if they have quit (just to calm your nerves Your mind may tell you they are happy, but sometimes the heart does not listen to the mind. We have a "who is here today" chart that helps us. We use a pocket chart and index cards. We take a picture and either use packing tape or laminate it on one side and put the child's name on the other. When they get there they find their name and turn it to the picture side. It helps with name recognition and gives them something to do when they come in the room. We have also found that some children may get attached to a toy or stuffed animal at the center and we have it waiting on them as soon as they come in. Maybe you can talk to your center and see if that is an option. But he/she does not get the toy until they come in the door. If they have a favorite blanket (mine did and we still have them lol) if you can cut them, cut a small corner off and let them carry it in a pocket. Ask your teacher to
Things NOT to do (not saying you are, but these are things parents have done in the past that make it worse on the child in the long run) Do not sneak out, tell your child you are leaving. Sneaking out makes the child insecure and untrusting, they will learn to expect you to sneak out and when in situations that are stressful, will not leave your side for fear of you leaving them. Do not tell them you have to move the car and you will be right back. They will be constantly looking our the windows and doors trying to find you, again making them insecure.
I hope some of these ideas will help I hate when children come in crying, not for us, we are with him/her and see that they calm quick and get on with their day. We hate it for the parents, we are all parents and know how heartbreaking it is to have a child cry.

Comments about KEYS Solar Rx Moisturizing Sunblock SPF 30+:
Since my cat is white, I put this on his ears if he will be outdoors at a time when uv radiation is at its strongest. The product is easy to apply, stays on, and is highly moisturizing. I would give the product five stars if I were sure the natural scented ingredients don't have the possibility of attracting insects.

About Me New Pet Owner
I have a black and white parti min-schnauzer who gets sunburned on her white parts. I've tried several sunscreens, but they all have toxic chemicals in them and basically did not work. This sunblock is great- it's easy to put on a year and a half old dog, it works, and doesn't harm her. Our vet also likes it and was pleased that I was using this on my baby.

Great sunblock!

Easy to use and the dogs liked it - weren't bothered by it. They also didn't have an allergic reaction to it, which I was afraid of. It was great protection for them until we got their sunshades up:-)

Medical Definition of ATRIUM
: an anatomical cavity or passage; especially : a chamber of the heart that receives blood from the veins and forces it into a ventricle or ventricles
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In an ancient Roman house, an open central court that contained the impluvium, a basin where rainwater collected. It originally contained the hearth and functioned as the center of family life. The term later came to be used for the open front courtyard of a Christian basilica, where congregants collected before services. The atrium was revived in the 20th century in the form of glass-covered, greenery-filled multistory spaces sometimes found in shopping centers, office buildings, and large hotels.
