Barrett was turning to the side in the wake of the Holy Light and caught the backhand full across the jaw, throwing him backwards into the wall behind him. He flung out a foot, hoping to catch So-Macho in the gut. The stake, still in the hand behind his back, clattered out of his hands as his fingers were crushed between his back and the wall. His lower back hurt too, from slamming into the handrail, but it only felt sore, not damaged. He gave up on the stake, pulled another from his back harness, and lunged down onto the vamp, clutching him with his legs and bringing his hands down over the creature's head, trying to drive the stake into his back. He hoped his momentum would carry them both down the stairs, and that if by some luck he managed to stake this guy, that he wouldn't end up putting the stake through his own ribs next...

Carl swayed onto the foot as it planted drawing his sword and sending it through a smooth arc aiming to sever the vamp's head. Anger sung through his veins, the waste of it all. One stupid woman's actions denying two people their lives. There was a word for people like the male model here, 'colaborator,' nothing you could hold against them when they were just fighting on the other side, but give them a reason to hate you personally. He stretched his hand around the hilt of his sword and sighed.
"I'm getting too old for this." Carl looked down at the crumpled figure of the model, "If I let you live you'll probably try and kill me at some point in the future. You know, with you girlfriend being dead and all." He sheathed the sword and started off towards the models' sick room.
"Then again I'm an old man, what do I know? Maybe you really hated her and were planning to kill her the first night you'd escaped. Maybe you're not so eager to die. Or maybe you're good enough to make it mean something. Either way...
Anyone in there?"

[[OOC: sorry for the curt post, insanely busy organizing a craft show]]
Niamh whispered quietly, out of the corner of her mouth, to Mike as the chaos insued, "Keep the models low, we'll try and get rid of these guys... the less they're in the way the better... we have med staff to take care of the wounded."
As she spoke Niamh lifted her bow and aimed for the heart of the Vampire that was shooting wildly, as the shot left her bow she pulled another arrow from her quiver and readied to shoot, took quick aim of the confused vampire and fired again.
She loaded her bow again and reached for a globe to be ready for another attack.

"Got it!" Jaze said, immediately pursued his quarry and going wide around the bodyguard so Jae could take care of him.
Jaze ran after Williams, his breath beginning catch up to him from the sharp jab to the stomach. The suit ran up the stairs, just in front of Jaze. Jaze shoved one of the guns in his holster so that he could grab the rail and swing himself around. He fired three more shots, all in an attempt to cripple the vampire; he wouldn't waste killing shots until he was sure he could get the bloodsucker.

Team 1:
The 1st gunman got back to his feet, if slightly unevenly and decided to charge the last remaining human he could find out of animal instinct the last remaining human being Jae Kim.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Williams tripped and skidded on his front across the landing, as one of the shots caught him in the hip. He would scramble to turn onto his back, in an unsuccessful attempt to try and get back to his feet.
If Jaze turned to look up at the landing above him, he would see a rather puzzled looking young man standing there, dressed entirely in a black riot gear with a black beanie hat pulled down over his hair. He was armed, but he wasnt make any effort to threaten or confront Jaze physically, and instead seemed to be watching Williams very carefully.
In any case, it was obvious to Williams that he was now surrounded his eyes would glance up to the upper landing before settling on Jaze. There was a wild look in his eyes.
You Who sent you? Is this Bentons idea of a sick, practical joke? he hissed, as he scrambled backwards towards a wall.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Cmon, cmon, weve got to get out of here Not safe anymore, weve got to get back to base! Need to regroup with the others
Jae thought to herself frantically, as she steeled herself against the 1st gunmans mad charge.
She threw herself forwards into the charge, trying to duck under and barrel up to stab him in the chest It had worked in actions movies, right?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Team 2:
((Ooookay, Im not entirely sure some understood my previous post, but since its been a month, Im just going to go with what weve got.))
Diarmuid would vault part of the stair case, but misjudge the drop height and land rather squarely on his backside on the lower stair case. He would be confronted with the sight of Ben being roughed up at knife point by a fourth vampire who had been trailing the others.
No. 4 had kicked Ben to the ground, and was in the process of yanking him up by the hair again. The blond mans face was bruised, is nose bleeding freely and his movements gingerly to say the least. It would be obvious to Diarmuid that this was how No. 4 had been corralling him up the stairs, and also that No. 4 had yet to notice his presence since there was something of a ruckus and Bens blood scent may well have been distracting him.
Maybe your meat bag friendsll pipe down when they see you he hissed.
There would be a window for Diarmuid to charge No. 4, as he was clearly currently distracted.
Barretts secondary attack while So-Macho was blinded managed to over-
balance both of them: they would both roly-poly down the stairs to the next landing and land with Barrett on top he would have that window in which to stake a rather surprised So-Macho.
Niamh managed to take out one of the two gunmen, but the other one was slowly starting to shake off the effects of the Holy Light blast his face was bright red. He began to shoot wildly like his comrade before him, and managed a wild shot of hitting one of the retreating models on the shoulder. Niamh would have to disable him somehow before shooting him.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The guard shrieked as she disintegrated away, and the male model with whom she had been canoodling just look shell-shocked, like he couldnt believe what was going on. He crumpled and slid down the wall.
Wh What do you want from me...? I dont have any money or anything, he whispered, hands thrown up over his head as if he expected Carl to run him over as well.
((I'll be bringing in Tenshi's character in my next post. I'd like for everyone to have posted by THIS WEDNESDAY EVENING, UK TIME IE WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR MOST OF YOU.))

Dia was stunned momentarily as he missed his landing. He took in the scene. Ben was in a bad way, but his target was distracted. He pushed off from the stair, aiming to stake the bruiser through the back into the heart. He would need to finish this as quickly as he could. He didn't want to start raging in a confined space with limited weaponry.

Please Mr Sword Wielding Maniac
,'" Carl called over his shoulder in a sing song voice "'
Could you stop in the middle of killing people to take me to a cash machine?
I mean seriously, if you had money and I wanted it that much I'd just kill you and take it. Personally I thought you'd be more horrified about me just killing your girlfriend here, but there you are.
Tell you what though, special one time deal: get lost before I come back and you get to live."
He walked into the sickly model's room, a hand wresting on his sword incase other vampires were around.

"Just some random cattle," Jaze snarled, pulling the trigger three times. He aimed to kill.
Jaze noticed quite suddenly that there was another man. He was armed, but not very threatening; Jaze looked him up and down. Chic black riot gear?
I'm there,
Jaze thought.
"Hey. I'm Jake. Were you after Williams, too? Who are you with?"
And what's your number?
Jaze added silently.

Barrett went for the kill, driving the stake into the vamp's chest. He hung on to his stake in his left hand and drew his pistol back out of his pocket with his right,taking aim and emptying the rest of his clip ((seven shots, I think)) into the shooting vamp on the stairs above him.
((I think the shooter should be above me after the fall down the stairs... if not, I'll need to adjust this post.))

((Edit: Sorry to not make it abundantly clear that Niamh realized that the first vamp she shot was dead. Didn't think it was really required until both were dead. And since they didn't appear to have "names" so i referred to the 2nd vamp as vamp #2))
Niamh ducked down as the second vamp started firing wildly, there was no way she'd get a clean shot with him carrying on like that. As it didn't appear that he cared where he was shooting Niamh figured she needed to get him to drop his gun before she tried anything else.
Using the globe she had in her hand she stood quickly and whipped it at the vampire aiming for his gun hand. Hoping that the holy water would at least soak the gun and make it unpleasant to hold on to.
Niamh crouched down again as she heard more shots coming up from below, at least they looked like they were aimed for her vampire.

Team 1:
Williams disappeared into ash as the shots hit his heart, killing him.
The blond man in riot gear cocked his head and regarded Jaze very casually, as if he was assessing him. He reached to his belt and pulled out a radio with one hand, and a gun with another. Almost lazily, he fired past Jaze at Williams' ashes - he was clearly something far more dangerous than Williams had been.
He spoke into the radio: "The target has been dealt with. There are some... cattle running amok, but I'll leave them as per instructed. I'm on my way back up."
Replacing the radio back into his utility belt, he regarded Jaze again in the same lazy manner. Like a cat playing with a mouse.
"My goals and affiliations are not your business, 'Cattle'. Though if you were actually Williams' cattle, I doubt very much you would have had the werewithall to be able to perform such a chilling execution-style kill. No, the bond between pet and master is too strong, and you're not an assassin. Otherwise, I would have killed you already.
"Fortunately for you, I'm feeling charitable tonight. I'm supposed to clean this place out completely, but I'll let you go this time, providing you and yours stay out of my way. Stop playing with fire, and you won't get burned... Go now, while you still can."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jae Kim's mad barrel bizzarely would work; but as she collided with the vampire, his sharp nails gouged her shoulders and back as she attempted to drive the stake home.
Jae cried out angrily - it would probably be audible to Jaze, even if he was enchanted by the Mysterious Riot Gear Man.
As the vampire disinergrated away, she skidded along on her front before slowly trying to picked herself up, wincing.
"Jaze... you there? Are we done yet...?"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Team 2:
The young male model cowering in front of Carl, just started to jibber.
"L-look man, I just don't want to cause waves... I know when I'm beat, I know I was just a toy to her, so just take what you want..."
In the other room, Carl would find the three models who had been on sick leave. One girl was out cold, trying to sleep off her flu, whereas the other two huddled together, and would look at him fearfully - it was clear that they had heard the exchange outside and were nervous.
But if he made it clear he was sympathetic to them, and that he was about to present them with a way out, they might well move a lot faster.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
No.4 would be forced to release Ben; Diarmuid's charge would force the vampire and his victim apart. Ben would hit the staircase with some force, and No.4 would topple backwards.
There would not be enough time for No.4 to recover to defend himself - he would have dropped his knife when Diarmuid knocked him back from Ben, and Diarmuid's stake attack would be successful. A dazed Ben would watch on, as he tried to gather himself. There was the possibility he could be concussed...
As for Barrett, he too was lucky - he managed to take out So-Macho. On the not-so fortunate side, he would get a full brunt blast to the face as So-Macho collapsed to dust. It would take him at least 30 seconds to recover and get back to his feet.
Niamh's target, Vampire No.2, would be hit in the face by her globe of Holy Water. An ear-piercing howl would go up as he over-balanced and dropped his gun. They were all very lucky, as the gun didn't misfire as it skidded along the stairs.
He was yet to be fully vanquished - Niamh would have to kill Vampire No.2 by herself, as it was looking unlikely that Barrett would be able to help in time.
Mike would be trying to help one of the injured models to stand - time would be running out to help the models evacuate.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Medical Team aka Dawson:
In the basement of Williams' former zigguraut, an old Ford van would screech into one of the parking bays at a slightly dodgy angle, and three men would emerge and head towards the service bay: Dean, Nate and Dawson, who were all Anima medic-types.
Nate began to scope out the area and go on ahead, whereas Dean would shout into his radio, which was tuned to the Anima's current frequency.
"GUYS? THIS IS, UH... i can't believe i have to say this... THIS IS DOCTOR MCDREAMY HERE. PLEASE RESPOND, YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF CONTACT FOR TOO LONG. WE'RE HERE TO HELP, PLEASE RESPOND AND UPDATE US OF YOUR SITUATION."
Dean would turn to Dawson, looking extremely worried.
"Look, we're in here to help extract a team. They've been out of contact with Garrick for way too long and there's probably civilians in trouble too. I'm gonna keep trying to raise them on the radio... Look, this could get really hairy, probably the hairiest any of us has seen... Have you got any, uh... War zone experience like this?"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
All teams would here this message blast through their radios.
"GUYS? THIS IS, UH... i can't believe i have to say this... THIS IS DOCTOR MCDREAMY HERE. PLEASE RESPOND, YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF CONTACT FOR TOO LONG. WE'RE HERE TO HELP, PLEASE RESPOND AND UPDATE US OF YOUR SITUATION."
((Sorry for the late update. Tenshi, you're a-go!))

Diarmuid felt the red haze begin to descend as he drove his stake home into the vampire's broad chest. He bore his target to the ground, ripping the stake out and driving it in again. He stabbed and stabbed until the vampire dissolved into dust. He stood, whirling with a roar on his lips. A figure cowered on the floor, blood around its mouth, looking dazed. Dia realised as he rounded on this new target that this wasn't a target at all.
The shock cleared the fog from his mind. He'd been halfway to looking at Ben as a target. He shook his head and took stock of the situation. Only one of the beasts was still alive... undead... whatever. And Niamh looked to have that one under control. He ached all over, and his rear would be bruised tomorrow. He didn't relish going back to the lab for a long day's research after crashing down onto that step. He shoved the stake back into his belt, and was about to see how Ben was when the message came on the radio.
"McDreamy," he smirked " ((Dia's codename..was it Peter Parker?)), we're on the move down the back stairwell. With you shortly."
He turned back to Ben. "Can you stand, my friend?" It shook him to seen Ben in such a condition. he would offer the man an arm for the rest of the journey down the stairs. He spoke up. "We need to get a move on people. Hurry, quick as you can."

The third man out of the fan wore a navy blue shirt, with a lighter shade of blue scrub pants. His shoes were simple sneakers, inexpensive and common. A high collar from the shirt gave way to a few day's face stubble. Ear-length, slightly wavy, sandy blond hair almost covered the arms of simple, silver-rimmed glasses. Overall, the man's face was narrow and very bookish.
He paused at the back of the Ford van as it's rear doors opened, glancing around the car lot with paranoia. Sucking in air, he dropped out of the back of the Ford van with a practiced ease. Then he immediately turned to retrieve a small pack full of various medical tools. His eyes were about as wide as saucers, and his breathing was
moving to the border of hyperventilation. With difficulty, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself.
"Easy, Dawson. Just like old times, but with guns..."
"Have you got any, uh... War zone experience like this?"
one of the other men, Dean, asked.
"War zone...?" Dawson replied, blinking a few times.
He adjusted his glasses back up his nose, letting them come to rest in the exact same place they had been a moment before.
"I mean, I was a paramedic, but... Don't you think they'll already have all the bad guys taken care of?" He asked, while pulling the medical pack's strap tighter up his shoulder. This of course caused a slight misalignment of his glasses, which he fixed with the exact motion as before.

((For Barrett's sake, I would love to retconn the part where he's apparently blinded and emptying a clip at a target he can't see... but whatever. I really hope he didn't hit anyone.))
Barrett coughed and struggled to breathe past the ashy dust clogging his lungs. One day, he'd remember that last damned defense of theirs: when they're guaranteed to go out, they like to mess with you even then... He shoved his gun back in his pocket, put down his stake and scrubbed at his eyes, blinking as fast as he could to clear them. He knew there was a live target somewhere behind him, and Dia could no doubt use the help ahead of him too. Unable to act, he listened and sensed as hard as he could, fighting to clear his eyes so he could get back into the fray.

"Not quite," Jaze called back to Jae angrily.
While I still can?
What's that supposed to mean, tough guy?" Jaze demanded. Sexy man just turned into a jerk-face man--probably what infuriated Jaze the most was the lazy manner in which he replied, as if Jaze wasn't worth his time. "And what do you mean, clear this place out completely? Are you planning on blowing this entire place up?"
Jaze's eyes widened. Connections were made. "
the ones behind the computer failures, aren't you? What are you up to? Maybe we can bring this place down together." An added benefit to the now-dead Williams mission.

Seriously... I'm laughing my ass off. Total fake!
Zerlock; boxerdudeuk
That is sooo fake!
OMG! How naive (or desperate) some people must be to actually belive that is a real picture.
that's so sad.....almost as sad as me bothering to check thread in the 1st place. damn it-- i don't even like Chris Brown.

anyone got more...
p.s. im new here... HE IS SOOOO CUTE [/QUOTE]
If you go to the top of your screen a do a search for him, you will find that there are a ton of posts of him in the forum already.
i dont understand what is the hype with this kid... hes not the great looking
...did someone in my age group ACTUALLY use the term "colored"?
I don't see the hype about Chris Brown either... i just don't find him attractive. Hell of a dancer - not all that worth the fuss otherwise.
chris brown is sexy and i luv his music and him i want him.. i need him lol and he look sooo sexy in that pic..
^^ Thanks for that pic hon
here are some more
WTF! Look I'm an older white guy. If one of my friends called anyone by a disparaging name they wouldn't be a friend for long. Colored... come on this isn't the 1950s in the south. I don't think I'm particularly enlightened, but come on. There is an old saying Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. I gotta believe being gay is pretty big glass house.
By the way, Chris Brown has great eyes and a smokin body plus he seems to have a great personality.
Keep this thread on topic, please.
Hockey First!
MMMMMM Sexyyyy
Chris brown isnt that cute when its a close up.
and yea colored is pretty offensive.
haha thank you latino star
i didn't mean anything by it...thats just what i call them...and to get the record straight i am half white...and half Mexican..mom was born and raised in Mexico so don't bark up the wrong tree if you don't know whats at the top
and i just took a sociology class and they are thinking of changing the term on the 2010 census back to colored because none of the other names are working...you know you people would have been offended if i said black so shut it.......
oh and my fav pic is him and that puppy..both so cute
eh, you chose the worst pics of him.
Gentlemen, I will warn you again to keep this thread on topic. The 'colored' debate is for another time or place. If you wish to discuss that, then create a new thread on that topic.
Hockey First!
And your point is?? You think that makes the comment you made excusable since you are half Mexican... the last time I checked "Mexican" isn't a race, and you are not black. So your post is even more ridiculous.
WOW.. you can't be that stupid. Not even worth a comment.
Now on the subject of this thread.. Chris Brown is "ok"
You all were warned twice to keep this thread on topic and failed to do so. It is now closed. Thanks for playing!
Hockey First!
they tied his harnest too damn tight...there's a whole collection of him trying to adjust it while he's performing...

The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1

The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
Part 3 of the series "Evolution and Original Sin, by Robin Collins"
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
When a Christian explores divine action in nature, that person also moves into the realm of revealed purpose and meaning of existence—each of which emanate from within the triune God who is love.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!

Congratulations uuuiiiooop and patacoman for getting what appear to be PERFECT SCORES! Since I don't want to take the easy way out and just use ticks as the tiebreaker... I'm giving you guys another level to play. You guys get as long as you need (or just a week tops, it's only one level!) to see who wins this competition. The scoring is the same, and the level is directly below.
Outpost: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?levelId=604844 = 300
Multiple submissions are still allowed, and you two tell me if you want a week, or if you would rather just end it when you both have your "final" solves! Good luck!
(Everyone else feel free to send in guest solves, I'd love to see them!)

Congratulations patacoman! When testing the level, I had a solve much like uuuiiiooop. Looks like you outsmarted me! I still think you would have won even if uuuiiiooop's solve wasn't so "lousy"
Thanks for playing guys, hopefully I'll see you in the next competition!

Laws respecting servants. (1-11) Judicial laws. (12-21) Judicial laws. (22-36)
Verses 1-11 The laws in this chapter relate to the fifth and sixth commandments; and though they differ from our times and customs, nor are they binding on us, yet they explain the moral law, and the rules of natural justice. The servant, in the state of servitude, was an emblem of that state of bondage to sin, Satan, and the law, which man is brought into by robbing God of his glory, by the transgression of his precepts. Likewise in being made free, he was an emblem of that liberty wherewith Christ, the Son of God, makes free from bondage his people, who are free indeed; and made so freely, without money and without price, of free grace.
Verses 12-21 God, who by his providence gives and maintains life, by his law protects it. A wilful murderer shall be taken even from God's altar. But God provided cities of refuge to protect those whose unhappiness it was, and not their fault, to cause the death of another; for such as by accident, when a man is doing a lawful act, without intent of hurt, happens to kill another. Let children hear the sentence of God's word upon the ungrateful and disobedient; and remember that God will certainly requite it, if they have ever cursed their parents, even in their hearts, or have lifted up their hands against them, except they repent, and flee for refuge to the Saviour. And let parents hence learn to be very careful in training up their children, setting them a good example, especially in the government of their passions, and in praying for them; taking heed not to provoke them to wrath. Through poverty the Israelites sometimes sold themselves or their children; magistrates sold some persons for their crimes, and creditors were in some cases allowed to sell their debtors who could not pay. But "man-stealing," the object of which is to force another into slavery, is ranked in the New Testament with the greatest crimes. Care is here taken, that satisfaction be made for hurt done to a person, though death do not follow. The gospel teaches masters to forbear, and to moderate threatenings, ( Ephesians 6:9 ) , considering with Job, What shall I do, when God riseth up? ( Job 31:13 Job 31:14 ) .
Verses 22-36 The cases here mentioned give rules of justice then, and still in use, for deciding similar matters. We are taught by these laws, that we must be very careful to do no wrong, either directly or indirectly. If we have done wrong, we must be very willing to make it good, and be desirous that nobody may lose by us.
Exodus 21:1-6 . LAWS FOR MENSERVANTS.
1. judgments--rules for regulating the procedure of judges and magistrates in the decision of cases and the trial of criminals. The government of the Israelites being a theocracy, those public authorities were the servants of the Divine Sovereign, and subject to His direction. Most of these laws here noticed were primitive usages, founded on principles of natural equity, and incorporated, with modifications and improvements, in the Mosaic code.
2-6. If thou buy an Hebrew servant--Every Israelite was free-born; but slavery was permitted under certain restrictions. An Hebrew might be made a slave through poverty, debt, or crime; but at the end of six years he was entitled to freedom, and his wife, if she had voluntarily shared his state of bondage, also obtained release. Should he, however, have married a female slave, she and the children, after the husband's liberation, remained the master's property; and if, through attachment to his family, the Hebrew chose to forfeit his privilege and abide as he was, a formal process was gone through in a public court, and a brand of servitude stamped on his ear ( Psalms 40:6 ) for life, or at least till the Jubilee ( Deuteronomy 15:17 ).
Exodus 21:7-36 . LAWS FOR MAIDSERVANTS.
7-11. if a man sell his daughter--Hebrew girls might be redeemed for a reasonable sum. But in the event of her parents or friends being unable to pay the redemption money, her owner was not at liberty to sell her elsewhere. Should she have been betrothed to him or his son, and either change their minds, a maintenance must be provided for her suitable to her condition as his intended wife, or her freedom instantly granted.
23-25. eye for eye--The law which authorized retaliation (a principle acted upon by all primitive people) was a civil one. It was given to regulate the procedure of the public magistrate in determining the amount of compensation in every case of injury, but did not encourage feelings of private revenge. The later Jews, however, mistook it for a moral precept, and were corrected by our Lord ( Matthew 5:38-42 ).
28-36. If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die--For the purpose of sanctifying human blood, and representing all injuries affecting life in a serious light, an animal that occasioned death was to be killed or suffer punishment proportioned to the degree of damage it had caused. Punishments are still inflicted on this principle in Persia and other countries of the East; and among a rude people greater effect is thus produced in inspiring caution, and making them keep noxious animals under restraint, than a penalty imposed on the owners.
30. If there be laid on him a sum of money, &c.--Blood fines are common among the Arabs as they were once general throughout the East. This is the only case where a money compensation, instead of capital punishment, was expressly allowed in the Mosaic law.

Sept. 28, 1918 Mother Mine: We are still in our mountains, but rumor has it not for long. We are enjoying the best of weather and health and have fine quarters and food is excellent. For war time I would say not bad? Night before last, I had dinner with the American and French Lieut., the head of the Y's in this district and our marshall (French) Last night had lunch with them also but the guests were different. The Medcan chef of the division, the Medcan chef G.B.D. of one regiment and then another Medcan chef of another regiment. Certainly enjoy these dinners. I had the privilege of eating with the mess at all times, but as I can do better work by staying with the men decided it was best. Went with the Lieut. for food yesterday and he told me that he had recommended me for their officers school. We have had three inspections in about the last two weeks and came out of them very favorable. Today we cleaned up our section of the streets, our grounds, etc. This is done every day but once a week it is all swept by brooms. My permission will figure about the 19th of the following month and I am awaiting letters from Jack and Theron to know if it will meet with theirs. Have not had letters from anyone for several days, so expect a number soon. Have some pictures in Paris being finished will forward some if interesting. Our communiqué this morning says the British have taken 24,000 prisoners since the 21st and that the French near Roye advanced four kilometers. The papers at present are mighty good reading and it looks like our turn had come at last. I took for the campaign to go on all winter, at least we have three months more with good luck to fight and I think the fighting will be finished by that time. I may be wrong but having seen the French morale so low when we first arrived to help and to see it now, can imagine Fritz has but little morale left. The only help Fritz can look for is his five hundred thousand 1920 class and now over one hundred and fifty thousand have been taken prisoner, and no one knows how many killed. Japan and Spain on the verge. That with his loss of all his spring and summer drives gone, wouldn't that kind of decrease any one's morale. Well Mother Mine, we are here until the job's done and done right, but the sooner it is completed the sooner millions can rejoin their loved ones. Well write soon again Mother Mine, so give everyone my love and tell them all to write. Your son, Ted (Censored by G. K. B. 1st Lieut. U.S.A.A.S.) TO: Mrs. Florence Littlefield 2528 Madison Ave. Ogden, Utah U.S.A. FROM: E.A. Littlefield SSU 64R Par BCM Paris France.

Breakfast With Tiki: Retired Football Star Has New Radio Show, Startup to Help Jocks Cash in on Fame
Maybe you have always wanted to meet Tiki Barber, the New York Giants legend. Perhaps you'd like to ask him what it was like to lead the National Football League in total yards from scrimmage in 2005, or how he really feels about Eli Manning, or maybe you'd like to tell him you still haven't forgiven him for leaving Fox & Friends.
Good news. Mr. Barber is the co-founder of a technology startup called Thuzio, an "online marketplace for celebrity experiences." Want to play a round of golf with Mr. Barber's twin brother Ronde? You can, for a mere $2,500. Feel like taking NBA great Gary Payton to a basketball game? That's just $5,000. Read More

Popchips is usally a safe bet for a tasty, not too oily chip. We have already given the thumbs up to Popchips Cheddar and Popchips Original but the Popchips Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips Review is just ... aiight! I decided to try the Popchips Barbeque Potato Chips to see if I would discover another favorite.
Popchips are not fried or baked. Instead, they say, "we start with wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, and pop!"
These chips have a very nice barbecue flavor, just what you would expect, and there is a pleasant slightly spicy kick after you've even a few chips. These were so yummy that I was glad that I had bought a single serving bag - I surely wouldn't have stopped if I hadn't.
Each serving provides 100 calories, 3 grams of total fat (5% of the DV), no saturated or trans fat, 210 mg for sodium (9% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber and protein plus 2 grams of sugars.
The ingredients list is pretty short and sweet. Now don't forget that Popchips Barbeque Potato Chips is still just a snack with not much nutritional value - so snack wisely! Try to limit your portion size - and if you know you can't help but keep going back for more, then buy single serving bags. Sure it's not the most economical option, but you gotta do what works for you.

This is a great hotel right on the Buda side of the Danube. All rooms have fantastic views over the river to the Parliament and the Chain Bridge. The rooms are a good size and are spotlessly clean with maid service every day. The bathroom is small but has a bath and great power shower along with a hairdryer and accessories. The breakfast is served in the room that later doubles as the bar. It is served by the pleasant and helpful staff and there is a full breakfast buffet along with cooked eggs in any form that you like. The staff at reception were friendly and always willing to assist with information, advice or recommendations and are on hand to book restaurants taxi etc On that front the hotel is close to a number of local bars and restaurants and one restaurant we would highly recommend is only a block away don't miss the Carne Di Hall for some great food and service. All in a great hotel for a visit to a beautiful city. Stayed November 2014, travelled as a couple
Awesome view to Pest, House of Parlament and Danube. Very very kind and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Clean warm and large room. It keeps silent environment. A lot of good restaurants are situated near the hotel Stayed November 2014, travelled as a couple
After 4 nights B & B at the Hotel Victoria, we feel so lucky in having chosen to stay there. Budapest is a wonderful city anyway, but the location, the service and the absolutely stunning view from our room taking in the Parliament Building right around to the Chain Bridge (UNESCO World Heritage Site) looking so magical when lit at night, was just brilliant, and we spent ages just looking at it all and the riverboats going by. Most of the the big hotels are on the Pest side and we thought our view far superior to theirs, if indeed they had one at all. Pest is the older, historic and quieter side and the Victoria is just at the foot of the hill with all the beautiful old buildings on it. Even in November it was captivating - and there were no queues! Close by were a variety of restaurants, and the heart of Pest is only 10 minutes walk over the bridge or a short ride on the transport system - which works really well too and is totally free if you are over 65 and from the UK or other EU country. Another lovely thing about this hotel are its wonderful suite of rooms at the back, renovated in their original style, where afternoon tea is offered every day 4-5pm to the accompaniment of the strains of the type of music played by the original owner, a violinist called Hubay. The rooms and original fittings, including porcelain stoves, are extremely fine, and I don't know whether it was just because we were footsore after a hard day's sightseeing or whether the local water and the silver samovar combined just made an excellent cuppa, but it was a really pleasant addition to the day. Stayed November 2014, travelled as a couple
We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed ourselves. The tea hour was especially nice in the hotel's elegant sitting area up the back stairs. Excellent breakfast, location, price make this a keeper. The modern room design was appreciated. Stayed October 2014, travelled as a couple
Best view in the city. Its on the Danube with views of Parliament and the major bridges. Pay for a river view, so worth it. Perfect location for exploring. Tourist bus,Tram and Metro within 400yds. Many restaurants inside 10min walk. Rooms; modern, clean and roomy with panoramic windows. Excellent breakfast. Wonderful, friendly staff, all eager to help. "Budapest Sightseeing" hop on hop off bus tour, includes a boat trip and free cycle hire on Margaret Island. Great value. Top Tip. Get the minibus from the airport to your hotel. It costs about £6.50 each way. Buy a return ticket and ask hotel reception to arrange the return trip. Easiest, cheapest way to do it.
I had originally booked a different hotel for our stay in Budapest but after reading the reviews online I switched our booking to this one and I am so pleased that we did. We were on the 9th Floor so we had an excellent view of the Danube, Parliament, the bridges and Pest. We also had a balcony. We booked the boat trip one night but didn't really need to bother as we could have this excellent view everyday from our room. The Hotel is ideally placed and we never once used any public transport and chose to walk everywhere - although by day 4 after walking 8/9 hours a day I think we were ready to collapse! I was pleased that we didn't stay in the Castle District at the top of the hill as we did that journey by steps around 8 times so this Hotel was ideal where it was placed. Also, round the corner is a 24 hour convenience shop so we brought wine and beer from here for our room which was cheaper than the mini bar. The staff were great and the fresh cooked eggs in the morning were excellent. I had read on the reviews about queuing at breakfast but this only happened to us one day and we had a 5 minute wait. This was at around 9.15am but when we went earlier in the morning the other days we didn't have to wait. We did have the afternoon tea on our first day which was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this Hotel.
My first time in Budapest so being able to have a great view of the Danube from our room was a real bonus. The daytime view was great, at night it was stunning. The hotel is well situated for exploring the Buda side and just a few minute walk from the Chain Bridge giving access to the Pest side. Trams stop a few meters away from the hotel which allows some routes to be taken without having to walk. Tickets can be brought from a machine just a few minutes walk past the hotel towards Margaret Bridge. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, stored our bags on our arrival and departure day and gave plenty of helpful advice. Breakfast was plentiful and a good variety of food, the toaster needs replacing though as it only works on one side! The room was large, very clean, and has loads of storage space. The safe was easy to use as was the air con. The bed was very comfortable, although if you like soft mattresses might not be to your liking. The bathroom was clean and spacious and the power shower very refreshing. My only minor complaint concerns the bath towels which are smaller than normal and very thin indeed. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel. Stayed October 2014, travelled with friends
Great staff, rooms, views from the moment we arrived we were looked after and the room was perfect wifi included and lastly the views are to die for, a plus was the pub next door with excellent Belgian beer
All of the rooms in this small hotel face the Danube. We loved looking across to the Parliament building, especially at night when it is lit--or looking the other direction to the Chain Bridge, also lit at night. The room was large, comfortably furnished, immaculately clean. The large wardrobe gave us ample room for clothing and luggage for our 4-day stay. The breakfast buffet offered lots of options, including eggs cooked to order. They offer afternoon tea in the White Music Hall in the attached Hubay Palace--an interesting peek at what this row of townhouses were like in another era. The staff were friendly and helpful--recommending an excellent restaurant a few blocks away (Kacsa Restaurant) and calling a cab for the day of departure. We love to walk, so we liked being on the Buda side--we explored the Vizivaros neighborhood and it made us walk across the Chain Bridge each day, giving us a daily connection to the river. Stayed October 2014, travelled as a couple
The Victoria in Budapest isn't a big hotel. It has only 27 rooms (all with gorgeous, Danube-facing views). We weren't expecting such great service when our flight from London arrived four hours late--meaning that we arrived at 3:30 a.m.. The night manager had been checking our flight status and was waiting for us in the lobby when our taxi pulled up. He unlocked the front door, greeted us warmly (not grudgingly or angrily for making him stay up), and signed us in. Then he re-locked the front door, turned out the lobby lights, and presumably went to bed. The room was immaculate, modern, tasteful, and comfortable. The views were gasp-worthy; it's the same view you see on Budapest brochures--the Danube with Parliament. Awesome. The tram runs right in front of the hotel, and it takes you everywhere, including across the river to the Pest side. It's immensely convenient. Don't hesitate to book the Hotel Victoria. It's truly a gem.
Philosophy: the attraction of a small boutique hotel – in contrast to major hotel chains – is that they are able to offer a unique atmosphere, personalized service, direct, personal relationships and experiences.
Set by the foot of the Buda Royal Castle, directly on the Buda side of the Danube Riverbank, our family managed boutique hotel with its 27 panoramic rooms enjoys an elevated location in the heart of Budapest. The hotel is less than a 10 minute walk from Buda Castle district where the Royal Palace, St Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion are located. These are some of Budapest's most visited sights and also UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The historical Chain Bridge – only 250 metres from the hotel– takes travellers to the Pest-side of the city which includes the central business and shopping districts.
Our 4 star quality hotel offers well-appointed modern guestrooms with free WiFi, A/C, a rich buffet breakfast (try our home-made egg specialities!) as well as a historical concert hall and tearoom. The hotel prides itself on being a home away from home for a weekend break, honeymoon, anniversary, business or cultural trip to Budapest. Hotel Victoria guarantees its guests value-for-money accommodation, a perfect base from which to explore the city and enjoy the personalized service in this first-class destination.
Another highlight of our charming, relaxing hotel is the most incredible view that you can imagine of Budapest. As each room is on the riverside and is equipped with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, the view of the Danube is fascinating, encompassing Margaret Island as well as the Pest riverbank (a member of the UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Parliament and the famous Danube Bridges. Imagine all this while having breakfast in our breakfast lounge with the sun rising or sitting in your armchair in the guestroom, having a nice glass of wine with the brilliant lights of Budapest's skyline in the background.
Hotel Victoria was originally built at another location of Budapest in 1983, as the first private hotel after World War II. Since at that time the private accommodation sector was not accepted, the state forced the owners to sell the hotel to a state-owned company. Fortunately the company did not want to buy the name: Hotel Victoria. Some years later, the construction of the new Hotel Victoria began and it opened in 1990 in one of the best locations in Budapest, on the riverside of the Danube in the centre of the city with a spectacular view from all of the hotel rooms. The hotel offers all major services for tourists and business people. The primary aim of the owners is to operate Hotel Victoria as the best Boutique hotel in Budapest. We understand that the expression 'Boutique hotel' is not very well known yet in Budapest, however the location of the hotel and the quality of services provided, will hopefully make it very popular in the near future.

In our continuing quest to bring you affordable, faithful replicas of the iconic props from TV's greatest SyFy saga, we are proud to present our screen-accurate replica of the Cylon Centurion practice target as seen on Galactica's shooting range.
Created from the same digital files used to print the screen-used props, QMx has reproduced the practice target on an 18" x 22.5 poster, printed on 60-pound flat-finish paper stock. We've even die cut the poster into the same distinctive trapezoid shape (why do Colonials hate right angles so much?), and we've included the scoring form in lower-right corner.
A perfect way to prepare for the fight against our Cylon oppressors, when that dark day comes.

This dress is simple and gorgeous. It is fully lined and has a nice stretch. I got the xxs and it fits perfect, hits me a bit below the knee and I love that because I can wear it to work with a jacket on. The color is more of an orange red than the color depicted in the image.

Cle de Peau Beaute At-A-Glance
Strengths: None of note among skin-care items; even the best products are not worth the money when compared with superior versions from other lines that cost slightly to considerably less; foundations that provide excellent coverage without looking heavy; a magnificent concealer; good highlighting powder and eyeshadows; one good mascara.
Weaknesses: Too many to list, but major ones include: average to ineffective moisturizer and serum formulas; no sunscreens; no products to address acne; several products sold as nourishing or anti-aging that douse skin with alcohol or other irritants; makeup products rated as average that are definitely not worth the investment.
Shiseido-owned Cle de Peau Beaute has a great French name that means "key to beautiful skin," but even a cursory overview shows that it is merely the key to the most inane waste of money. We wish there were a way we could bestow a sense of the truth about what women are really buying from this line with a swoop of a wand or a mind meld! The reality is, aside from having no sunscreen—which leaves skin completely vulnerable to the very damage this skin-care company makes every claim it can repair—these products contain nothing unique or out of the ordinary. While most of the products contain some amount of antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and anti-irritants, the amounts are so minuscule they are inconsequential for skin, and for this kind of money that's offensive. Moreover, the formulations are repetitive, with few significant, bona fide differences among them, despite sometimes wide swings in prices.
Where Cle de Peau excels is in its propaganda of beauty at any cost, especially really expensive cost, regardless of fact or reality. Words such as "extraordinary" and "elegant" pepper the literature for this line, with the none-too-subtle message being that of luxury and obtaining the crème de la crème among skin-care products. Although several of their moisturizers have indulgent textures and are packaged in exquisite containers, it takes much more than that to create efficacious skin-care products whose substance equates to more than mere style. A few Cle de Peau products were reviewed favorably, but we can't in good conscience recommend this line given the prevalence of equal or better formulas from many other lines, most without the price tag that contributes immeasurably to the opulent image Cle de Peau has cultivated.
For more information about Shiseido-owned Cle de Peau, visit www.cledepeau-beaute.com.
Note: Many of Cle de Peau's formulations are variations on what Shiseido itself offers for much less money. Shiseido doesn't necessarily have better formulas (although their sun-care line is formidable and worth a look), but they offer proportionately more products we feel comfortable recommending.
Cle de Peau Beaute Makeup
Without question, this is absolutely one of the most expensive collections of makeup sold today. While the prices defy logic or reason, at least the majority of the products perform reliably well and most have beautiful, soft textures that are easy to work with. Of particular interest are the cream foundation and concealer, and the mascaras, pencils, blush, and eyeshadows have their strong points, too. However, when you consider that products costing considerably less share these strengths, the decision to purchase from Cle de Peau comes down to how large your cosmetics budget is and how important the image of ultra-high-end prestige is to you and your makeup bag.
The salespeople for this line go on and on about how each makeup item is an extension of the treatment benefits attained from their skin-care products, but a review of the ingredient lists for almost every cosmetic below clearly refutes that claim. Ironically, even if the makeup were an extension of the skin care, that would be bad news, because the skin-care products are some of the worst on the market.
Nothing in this makeup is special, unique, or even all that competitive with what the cosmetics industry's frontrunners are creating for you. Nevertheless, the main reason to consider Cle de Peau makeup is if you're looking for a selection of silky foundations that provide substantial coverage without the heavy, masklike look of days past. That attribute is one of the reasons celebrities often claim to use Cle de Peau's foundations and concealer.

David complains of his enemies. (1-5) He prophesies their destruction. (6-20) Prayers and praises. (21-31)
1-5. It is the unspeakable comfort of all believers, that whoever is against them, God is for them; and to him they may apply as to one pleased to concern himself for them. David's enemies laughed at him for his devotion, but they could not laugh him out of it.
Verses 6-20 The Lord Jesus may speak here as a Judge, denouncing sentence on some of his enemies, to warn others. When men reject the salvation of Christ, even their prayers are numbered among their sins. See what hurries some to shameful deaths, and brings the families and estates of others to ruin; makes them and theirs despicable and hateful, and brings poverty, shame, and misery upon their posterity: it is sin, that mischievous, destructive thing. And what will be the effect of the sentence, "Go, ye cursed," upon the bodies and souls of the wicked! How it will affect the senses of the body, and the powers of the soul, with pain, anguish, horror, and despair! Think on these things, sinners, tremble and repent.
Verses 21-31 The psalmist takes God's comforts to himself, but in a very humble manner. He was troubled in mind. His body was wasted, and almost worn away. But it is better to have leanness in the body, while the soul prospers and is in health, than to have leanness in the soul, while the body is feasted. He was ridiculed and reproached by his enemies. But if God bless us, we need not care who curses us; for how can they curse whom God has not cursed; nay, whom he has blessed? He pleads God's glory, and the honour of his name. Save me, not according to my merit, for I pretend to none, but according to thy-mercy. He concludes with the joy of faith, in assurance that his present conflicts would end in triumphs. Let all that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him. Jesus, unjustly put to death, and now risen again, is an Advocate and Intercessor for his people, ever ready to appear on their behalf against a corrupt world, and the great accuser.
Psalms 109:1-31 . The writer complains of his virulent enemies, on whom he imprecates God's righteous punishment, and to a prayer for a divine interposition in his behalf appends the expression of his confidence and a promise of his praises. This Psalm is remarkable for the number and severity of its imprecations. Its evident typical character (compare Psalms 109:8 ) justifies the explanation of these already given, that as the language of David respecting his own enemies, or those of Christ, it has respect not to the penitent, but to the impenitent and implacable foes of good men, and of God and His cause, whose inevitable fate is thus indicated by inspired authority.
1. God of my praise--its object, thus recognizing God as a certain helper. Be not silent (compare Psalms 17:13 , 28:1 ).
2. For the mouth . . . opened--or, "They have opened a wicked mouth"
against me--literally, "with me," that is, Their intercourse is living, or, they slander me to my face ( Matthew 26:59 ).
3. (Compare Psalms 35:7 , 69:4 ).
4, 5. They return evil for good (compare Psalms 27:12 , Proverbs 17:13 ).
I give myself unto prayer--or literally, "I (am) prayer," or, "as for me, prayer," that is, it is my resource for comfort in distress.
6. over him--one of his enemies prominent in malignity ( Psalms 55:12 ).
let Satan stand--as an accuser, whose place was the right hand of the accused ( Zechariah 3:1 Zechariah 3:2 ).
7. The condemnation is aggravated when prayer for relief is treated as a sin.
8. The opposite blessing is long life ( Psalms 91:16 , Proverbs 3:2 ). The last clause is quoted as to Judas by Peter ( Acts 1:20 ).
office--literally, "charge," Septuagint, and Peter, "oversight" [ 1 Peter 5:2 ].
9, 10. Let his family share the punishment, his children be as wandering beggars to prowl in their desolate homes, a greedy and relentless creditor grasp his substance, his labor, or the fruit of it, enure to strangers and not his heirs, and his unprotected, fatherless children fall in want, so that his posterity shall utterly fail.
13. posterity--literally, "end," as in Psalms 37:38 , or, what comes after; that is, reward, or success, or its expectation, of which posterity was to a Jew a prominent part.
14, 15. Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered, &c.--Added to the terrible overthrow following his own sin, let there be the imputation of his parents' guilt, that it may now come before God, for His meting out its full consequences, in cutting off the memory of them (that is, the parents) from the earth ( Psalms 34:16 ).
16. Let God remember guilt, because he (the wicked) did not remember mercy.
poor and needy . . . broken in heart--that is, pious sufferer ( Psalms 34:18 , 35:10 , 40:17 ).
17-19. Let his loved sin, cursing, come upon him in punishment ( Psalms 35:8 ), thoroughly fill him as water and oil, permeating to every part of his system (compare Numbers 5:22-27 ), and become a garment and a girdle for a perpetual dress.
20. Let this . . . reward--or, "wages," pay for labor, the fruit of the enemy's wickedness.
from the Lord--as His judicial act.
21, 22. do . . . for me--that is, kindness.
wounded--literally, "pierced" ( Psalms 69:16 Psalms 69:29 ).
23. like the shadow--(Compare Psalms 102:11 ).
tossed up and down--or, "driven" ( Exodus 10:19 ).
24, 25. Taunts and reproaches aggravate his afflicted and feeble state ( Psalms 22:6 Psalms 22:7 ).
26, 27. Let my deliverance glorify Thee (compare Psalms 59:13 ).
28-31. In confidence that God's blessing would come on him, and confusion and shame on his enemies ( Psalms 73:13 ), he ceases to regard their curses, and anticipates a season of joyful and public thanksgiving; for God is near to protect ( Psalms 16:8 , 34:6 ) the poor from all unrighteous judges who may condemn him.

"USG provides many supplemental explanations of techniques, interviews with Michael in which he talks about his subjects and printing routines, and reviews of his works from various other exhibits that should add to an appreciation for his skill and creative vision.
"Michael is a contemporary artist and educator who has been widely recognized as a master printmaker. His engravings and etchings have been exhibited in Europe and Asia as well as all over the United States, and he has won prestigious awards. "His dense, content-filled engravings and etchings often combine architectural or urban images with figurative references, juxtaposing historical and contemporary content."
"Josh Bindewald & Christopher Cannon: Upgrade & Breakdown" also is on display to Feb. 16.
"Union Street Gallery presents an exhibit of printmaking and mixed media art that addresses humankind's propensity to upgrade and break down the world around us," officials said.
"Employing diverse and dense printmaking techniques and using graphic imagery of hard edges and stripped landscapes, Bindewald and Cannon explore our dependence on technology, our habitual accretion and excavation of our environment, and the social and physical consequences."

I am a software technical lead for a team working on porting a large legacy enterprise application suite to a service based model and I am chair of a platform architecture council, whose responsibility is to drive forward common framework/architecture for various products.
Most of my experience is in back end software for real-time (both hard and soft) distributed systems written on various platform in various languages. Lately I have been doing a lot of this in C++ and C#.
I am passionate about solving problems and delivering software, and I enjoy learning how different languages and tools can enable and improve my efforts. These things mean I often find myself elbow-deep in source-control, and build and deployment infrastructure.
I am a new Raspberry Pi owner, and self-taught solder-er (is that a word?) and I'm hoping to use those in my recently acquired homebrewing hobby. I don't like to sit around...
