The taking of Babylon. (1-10) Of the Edomites. (11,12) Of the Arabs. (13-17)
Verses 1-10 Babylon was a flat country, abundantly watered. The destruction of Babylon, so often prophesied of by Isaiah, was typical of the destruction of the great foe of the New Testament church, foretold in the Revelation. To the poor oppressed captives it would be welcome news; to the proud oppressors it would be grievous. Let this check vain mirth and sensual pleasures, that we know not in what heaviness the mirth may end. Here is the alarm given to Babylon, when forced by Cyrus. An ass and a camel seem to be the symbols of the Medes and Persians. Babylon's idols shall be so far from protecting her, that they shall be broken down. True believers are the corn of God's floor; hypocrites are but as chaff and straw, with which the wheat is now mixed, but from which it shall be separated. The corn of God's floor must expect to be threshed by afflictions and persecutions. God's Israel of old was afflicted. Even then God owns it is his still. In all events concerning the church, past, present, and to come, we must look to God, who has power to do any thing for his church, and grace to do every thing that is for her good.
Verses 11-12 God's prophets and ministers are as watchmen in the city in a time of peace, to see that all is safe. As watchmen in the camp in time of war, to warn of the motions of the enemy. After a long sleep in sin and security, it is time to rise, to awake out of sleep. We have a great deal of work to do, a long journey to go; it is time to be stirring. After a long dark night is there any hope of the day dawning? What tidings of the night? What happens to-night? We must never be secure. But many make curious inquiries of the watchmen. They would willingly have nice questions solved, or difficult prophecies interpreted; but they do not seek into the state of their own souls, about the way of salvation, and the path of duty. The watchman answers by way of prophecy. There comes first a morning of light, and peace, and opportunity; but afterward comes a night of trouble and calamity. If there be a morning of youth and health, there will come a night of sickness and old age; if a morning of prosperity in the family, in the public, yet we must look for changes. It is our wisdom to improve the present morning, in preparation for the night that is coming after it. Inquire, return, come. We are urged to do it quickly, for there is no time to trifle. Those that return and come to God, will find they have a great deal of work to do, and but little time to do it in.
Verses 13-17 The Arabians lived in tents, and kept cattle. A destroying army shall be brought upon them, and make them an easy prey. We know not what straits we may be brought into before we die. Those may know the want of necessary food who now eat bread to the full. Neither the skill of archers, nor the courage of mighty men, can protect from the judgments of God. That is poor glory, which will thus quickly come to nothing. Thus hath the Lord said to me; and no word of his shall fall to the ground. We may be sure the Strength of Israel will not lie. Happy are those only whose riches and glory are out of the reach of invaders; all other prosperity will speedily pass away.
Isaiah 21:1-10 . REPETITION OF THE ASSURANCE GIVEN IN THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CHAPTERS TO THE JEWS ABOUT TO BE CAPTIVES IN BABYLON, THAT THEIR ENEMY SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND THEY BE DELIVERED.
He does not narrate the event, but graphically supposes himself a watchman in Babylon, beholding the events as they pass.
1. desert--the champaign between Babylon and Persia; it was once a desert, and it was to become so again.
of the sea--The plain was covered with the water of the Euphrates like a "sea" ( Jeremiah 51:13 Jeremiah 51:36 ; so Isaiah 11:15 , the Nile), until Semiramis raised great dams against it. Cyrus removed these dykes, and so converted the whole country again into a vast desert marsh.
whirlwinds in the south--( Job 37:9 , Zechariah 9:14 ). The south wind comes upon Babylon from the deserts of Arabia, and its violence is the greater from its course being unbroken along the plain ( Job 1:19 ).
desert--the plain between Babylon and Persia.
terrible land--Media; to guard against which was the object of Nitocris great works [HERODOTUS, 1.185]. Compare as to "terrible" applied to a wilderness, as being full of unknown dangers, Deuteronomy 1:29 .
2. dealeth treacherously--referring to the military stratagem employed by Cyrus in taking Babylon. It may be translated, "is repaid with treachery"; then the subject of the verb is Babylon. She is repaid in her own coin; Isaiah 33:1 , Habakkuk 2:8 , favor this.
Go up--Isaiah abruptly recites the order which he hears God giving to the Persians, the instruments of His vengeance ( Isaiah 13:3 Isaiah 13:17 ).
Elam--a province of Persia, the original place of their settlement ( Genesis 10:22 ), east of the Euphrates. The name "Persia" was not in use until the captivity; it means a "horseman"; Cyrus first trained the Persians in horsemanship. It is a mark of authenticity that the name is not found before Daniel and Ezekiel [BOCHART].
thereof--the "sighing" caused by Babylon ( Isaiah 14:7 Isaiah 14:8 ).
3. Isaiah imagines himself among the exiles in Babylon and cannot help feeling moved by the calamities which come on it. So for Moab ( Isaiah 15:5 , 16:11 ).
pain--(Compare Isaiah 13:8 , Ezekiel 30:4 Ezekiel 30:19 , Nahum 2:10 ).
at the hearing--The Hebrew may mean, "I was so bowed down that I could not hear; I was so dismayed that I could not see" ( Genesis 16:2 , Psalms 69:23 ) [MAURER].
4. panted--"is bewildered" [BARNES].
night of my pleasure--The prophet supposes himself one of the banqueters at Belshazzar's feast, on the night that Babylon was about to be taken by surprise; hence his expression, "my pleasure" ( Isaiah 14:11 , Jeremiah 51:39 , Daniel 5:1-31 ).
5. Prepare the table--namely, the feast in Babylon; during which Cyrus opened the dykes made by Semiramis to confine the Euphrates to one channel and suffered them to overflow the country, so that he could enter Babylon by the channel of the river. Isaiah first represents the king ordering the feast to be got ready. The suddenness of the irruption of the foe is graphically expressed by the rapid turn in the language to an alarm addressed to the Babylonian princes, "Arise," &c. (compare Isaiah 22:13 ). MAURER translates, "They prepare the table," &c. But see Isaiah 8:9 .
watch in . . . watchtower--rather, "set the watch." This done, they thought they might feast in entire security. Babylon had many watchtowers on its walls.
anoint . . . shield--This was done to prevent the leather of the shield becoming hard and liable to crack. "Make ready for defense"; the mention of the "shield" alone implies that it is the Babylonian revellers who are called on to prepare for instant self-defense. HORSLEY translates, "Grip the oiled shield."
6. Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth--God's direction to Isaiah to set a watchman to "declare" what he sees. But as in Isaiah 21:10 , Isaiah himself is represented as the one who "declared." HORSLEY makes him the "watchman," and translates, "Come, let him who standeth on the watchtower report what he seeth."
7. chariot, &c.--rather, "a body of riders," namely, some riding in pairs on horses (literally, "pairs of horsemen," that is, two abreast), others on asses, others on camels (compare Isaiah 21:9 , Isaiah 22:6 ). "Chariot" is not appropriate to be joined, as English Version translates, with "asses"; the Hebrew means plainly in Isaiah 21:7 , as in Isaiah 21:9 , "a body of men riding." The Persians used asses and camels for war [MAURER]. HORSLEY translates, "One drawn in a car, with a pair of riders, drawn by an ass, drawn by a camel"; 'Cyrus is the man; the car drawn by a camel and ass yoked together and driven by two postilions, one on each, is the joint army of Medes and Persians under their respective leaders. He thinks the more ancient military cars were driven by men riding on the beasts that drew them; Isaiah 21:9 favors this.
8. A lion--rather, "(The watchman) cried, I am as a lion"; so as is understood ( Isaiah 62:5 , Psalms 11:1 ). The point of comparison to "a lion" is in Revelation 10:3 , the loudness of the cry. But here it is rather his vigilance. The lion's eyelids are short, so that, even when asleep, he seems to be on the watch, awake; hence he was painted on doors of temples as the symbol of watchfulness, guarding the place (Hor. Apollo) [HORSLEY].
9. chariot of men--chariots with men in them; or rather, the same body of riders, horsemen two abreast, as in Isaiah 21:7 [MAURER]. But HORSLEY, "The man drawn in a car with a pair of riders." The first half of this verse describes what the watchman sees; the second half, what the watchman says, in consequence of what he sees. In the interval between Isaiah 21:7 and Isaiah 21:9 , the overthrow of Babylon by the horsemen, or man in the car, is accomplished. The overthrow needed to be announced to the prophet by the watchman, owing to the great extent of the city. HERODOTUS (1.131) says that one part of the city was captured some time before the other received the tidings of it.
answered--not to something said previously, but in reference to the subject in the mind of the writer, to be collected from the preceding discourse: proclaimeth ( Job 3:2 , Margin; Daniel 2:26 , Acts 5:8 ).
fallen . . . fallen--The repetition expresses emphasis and certainty ( Psalms 92:9 , 93:3 ; compare Jeremiah 51:8 , Revelation 18:2 ).
images--Bel, Merodach, &c. ( Jeremiah 50:2 , Jeremiah 51:44 Jeremiah 51:52 ). The Persians had no images, temples, or altars, and charged the makers of such with madness [HERODOTUS 1.131]; therefore they dashed the Babylonian "images broken unto the ground."
10. my threshing--that is, my people (the Jews) trodden down by Babylon.
corn of my floor--Hebrew, "my son of the floor," that is, my people, treated as corn laid on the floor for threshing; implying, too, that by affliction, a remnant (grain) would be separated from the ungodly (chaff) [MAURER]. HORSLEY translates, "O thou object of my unremitting prophetic pains." See Isaiah 28:27 Isaiah 28:28 . Some, from Jeremiah 51:33 , make Babylon the object of the threshing; but Isaiah is plainly addressing his countrymen, as the next words show, not the Babylonians.
Isaiah 21:11 Isaiah 21:12 . A PROPHECY TO THE IDUMEANS WHO TAUNTED THE AFFLICTED JEWS IN THE BABYLONISH CAPTIVITY.
One out of Seir asks, What of the night? Is there a hope of the dawn of deliverance? Isaiah replies, The morning is beginning to dawn (to us); but night is also coming (to you). Compare Psalms 137:7 . The Hebrew captives would be delivered, and taunting Edom punished. If the Idumean wish to ask again, he may do so; if he wishes an answer of peace for his country, then let him "return (repent), come" [BARNES].
11. Dumah--a tribe and region of Ishmael in Arabia ( Genesis 25:14 , 1 Chronicles 1:30 ); now called Dumah the Stony, situated on the confines of Arabia and the Syrian desert; a part put for the whole of Edom. VITRINGA thinks "Dumah," Hebrew, "silence," is here used for Idumea, to imply that it was soon to be reduced to silence or destruction.
Seir--the principal mountain in Idumea, south of the Dead Sea, in Arabia-Petræa. "He calleth" ought to be rather, "There is a call from Seir."
to me--Isaiah. So the heathen Balak and Ahaziah received oracles from a Hebrew prophet.
Watchman--the prophet ( Isaiah 62:6 , Jeremiah 6:17 ), so called, because, like a watchman on the lookout from a tower, he announces future events which he sees in prophetic vision ( Habakkuk 2:1 Habakkuk 2:2 ).
what of the night--What tidings have you to give as to the state of the night? Rather, "What remains of the night?" How much of it is past? [MAURER]. "Night" means calamity ( Job 35:10 , Micah 3:6 ), which, then, in the wars between Egypt and Assyria, pressed sore on Edom; or on Judah (if, as BARNES thinks, the question is asked in mockery of the suffering Jews in Babylon). The repetition of the question marks, in the former view, the anxiety of the Idumeans.
12. Reply of the prophet, The morning (prosperity) cometh, and (soon after follows) the night (adversity). Though you, Idumeans, may have a gleam of prosperity, it will soon be followed by adversity again. Otherwise, as BARNES, "Prosperity cometh (to the Jews) to be quickly followed by adversity (to you, Idumeans, who exult in the fall of Jerusalem, have seized on the southern part of their land in their absence during the captivity, and now deride them by your question)" ( Isaiah 34:5-7 ). This view is favored by Obadiah 1:10-21 .
if ye will inquire, inquire--If ye choose to consult me again, do so (similar phrases occur in Genesis 43:14 , 2 Kings 7:4 , Esther 4:16 ).
return, come--"Be converted to God (and then), come" [GESENIUS]; you will then receive a more favorable answer.
Isaiah 21:13-17 . PROPHECY THAT ARABIA WOULD BE OVERRUN BY A FOREIGN FOE WITHIN A YEAR.
Probably in the wars between Assyria and Egypt; Idumea and Arabia lay somewhat on the intermediate line of march.
13. upon--that is, respecting.
forest--not a grove of trees, but a region of thick underwood, rugged and inaccessible; for Arabia has no forest of trees.
travelling companies--caravans: ye shall be driven through fear of the foe to unfrequented routes ( Isaiah 33:8 , Judges 5:6 , Jeremiah 49:8 is parallel to this passage).
Dedanim--In North Arabia ( Genesis 25:3 , Jeremiah 25:23 , Ezekiel 25:13 , 27:20 ; a different "Dedan" occurs Genesis 10:7 ).
14. Tema--a kindred tribe: an oasis in that region ( Jeremiah 25:23 ). The Temeans give water to the faint and thirsting Dedanites; the greatest act of hospitality in the burning lands of the East, where water is so scarce.
prevented--that is, anticipated the wants of the fugitive Dedanites by supplying bread ( Genesis 14:18 ).
their bread--rather, "his (the fugitive's) bread"; the bread due to him, necessary for his support; so "thy grave" ( Isaiah 14:19 ), [MAURER].
15. they--the fugitive Dedanites and other Arabs.
16. years of . . .
Kedar--a wandering tribe ( Psalms 120:5 ). North of Arabia-Petræa, and south of Arabia-Deserta; put for Arabia in general.
17. residue . . . diminished--The remnant of Arab warriors, famous in the bow, left after the invasion, shall be small.

Mazda6 vs Subaru Legacy and Outback
i am planning on purchasing a wagon, read some great reviews about subaru and also Mazda 6. this will be my first wagon. any thoughs?
shrinermonkey Posts: 58...and their are even less now because you can no longer get the Legacy Wagon, instead you have to get the Outback version. I was considering the same vehicles when I was looking to replace my horribly unreliable 2001 VW Passat Wagon. We were originally thinking of going smaller with a Matrix/Vibe or Fit. Fit was unobtanium and the Matrix/Vibe had a terrible driving position that neither of us could get comfortable in. The only 2 choices left that I was considering were the Mazda 6 and the Legacy. The Mazda 6 dropped off of my list because it can only be had with a Ford built V6 and therefore the fuel economy is not great, not to mention the spotty reliability. My wife did not like the SUVness of the Outback or Forester(which I still consider a wagon), we both prefered the more sporty styling of the Legacy version. We also didn't want the turbo version because of the poor fuel ecomomy and bad experiences with or VW turbo. We went with a 2006 2.5i SE Wagon with the automatic and couldn't be happier. We also got a great deal on it paying under invoice after incentives. The AWD was not really needed and was just an added bonus. There are times I wish I had some of the more rugged features of the Outback (better bumper protection, higher tow rating, ground clearance, heated everything, etc...) but overall I am glad I went with the Legacy.
I wish Honda and Toyota would offer wagons again, preferably with Hybrid or Diesel power like they do in Europe. -
paisan Posts: 21,181Just picked up a great 05 LGT Wagon 5MT. So far with 30k on it I'm lovin it! I considered the Mazdaspeed6 but the dealers and national sales folks at the auto-show had no compelling reason or sales pitch to persuade me away from a Subaru, which left me with the feeling of "well if they don't want to sell it to me, then why should I buy it?"
-mike -
shrinermonkey Posts: 58Gas mileage tends to be pretty poor on the GT model, most people are getting below the EPA ratings. You might want to check out some Legacy GT specific forums to get a better idea. Seems you have to drive very conservatively to get good mileage with the turbo. But what is the point of having it if you aren't going to use it?
shrinermonkey Posts: 58I regualarly get 31-32+ mpg on the highway with my N/A 2.5i wagon with the automatic. Recently got 32.3 mpg on a 1400 mile road trip 70+ mph most of the way with some city driving thrown in. It is the city drving that tends to be quite poor on the GT because of increased dip into turbo boost. It was the same with my old VW Passat 1.8T, decent hwy mileage but struggled to get over 18 mpg in town and that was w/o AWD.
suydam Posts: 1,045I had a 1999 Subaru Forester. We sold it because we didn't like the gas mileage, the back seats were torture for us (we are tall), and the local dealer service was awful.
I then bought a Mazda6 wagon (2004) which I loved except for the atrocious gas mileage -- between 18-20 mpg around town.
You are right. There are not too many choices. We sold the Mazda, and then bought a used Pontiac Vibe. Better gas mileage -- between 26-28 mpg around town-- and way more comfortable rear seats. I have heard people complain about the driving position but for me it's fine. It isn't as zippy as the Mazda for sure, but costs a lot less to drive.
So if gas mileage matters, the Matrix/Vibe is the way to go. If you like a car that has a lot of zoom zoom, the Mazda is much better. Subaru's advantage is in snowy climes where you need the AWD, but it takes a toll on mpg. -

California navel orange grower-shippers plan to kick off the winter citrus season with fruit that will keep consumers coming back week after week.
Too often, in the past, they say, consumers would be turned off by fruit that wasn't quite ready to hit supermarket shelves.
Sometimes shoppers would wait several weeks before giving the fruit another try.
Now, however, the industry has launched what it's calling the California Standard.
Under the new maturity standard, growers will not ship their navel oranges until they reach optimum flavor.
"With the new standard, there's a much higher probability that (consumers) will get a good-tasting piece of fruit from the beginning of the season to the end of the season," said Bob Blakely, director of industry relations for California Citrus Mutual, Exeter.
The California citrus industry has long used a specific sugar-to-acid ratio to determine the maturity of fruit, he said. The most recent ratio of 9-to-1 was set in the late 1940s.
The ratio system sometimes fell short, and "the flavor was not very palatable," he said.
Several years ago, the industry started surveying consumers to come up with a flavor profile that appealed to them and would prompt them to pick up oranges again.
"We are convinced that we have determined what that flavor profile is," Galone said.
Growers still will take the same sugar and acid measurements, but instead of just doing a straight ratio, he said, "We will now run them through a kind of convoluted formula that gives us a flavor profile rather than just a sugar-acid ratio."
"Starting this year and beyond, we have to make a flavor profile of 90 based on this scale," he said. "It eliminates the flatter-tasting fruit."
The goal of the new maturity standard is to give consumers a flavorful piece of fruit, starting with the first shipments, but how that will affect shippers is hard to say, said Al Imbimbo, vice president of sales for Suntreat Packing & Shipping Co., Lindsay, Calif.
The standard will change the time when growers will start to harvest, he said.
"In some places, you'll be able to harvest when you did before, and some places you won't," he said.
Randy Jacobson, sales manager for Cecelia Packing Corp., Orange Cove, Calif., agreed.
"The idea is to put out a better-tasting piece of fruit," he said. "I don't think we know what the impact (on growers) is going to be."
The industry can't make a blanket statement that it will delay maturity for all growers, he said, "because it's not."
"I think it's going to be specific to location and variety," Jacobson said.
It's likely that some oranges will be held off the market for little while because they won't meet the standard, he said.
"Is that enough to make a dent in the overall availability? I don't think we know that," Jacobson said.
Galone said he is "cautiously optimistic" that the program will be good for consumers and for the industry.
"With this California Standard in place, it should help to ensure that the first eating experience that the consumer gets is good enough to bring them back," he said.
Growers who must hold onto their fruit longer may lose out in the short term, he said, but they'll gain later when consumers come back to buy more navels sooner.
Blakely said there could be an increase of 35% in the amount of acceptable fruit going into a box early in the season as a result of the California Standard.

- Wasilla Target parking lot at 3:35pm
- AT&T Sports Center at 3:45pm
- Palmer Old Carrs parking lot at 3:50pm
Will there be a hot lunch program?
Students will need to bring their own lunches and a healthy snack. . We hope to provide a hot lunch service in the future.
Will extracurricular activities be offered?
We are excited to offer a wide variety of extracurricular activites this school year. Please see the extracurricular page on our website (coming soon).
Will childcare be available before and after school?
We do not currently offer before and after school care, we would eventually like to offer before and after school supervision for Birchtree students.
Will teachers follow a class through multiple grades?
Birchtree teachers will "loop" with their students from Grade One through Grade Five. Students will have a different teacher for Grades Six through Eight.
What school supplies will my child need?
Supplies used in Waldorf schools are quality supplies that can last children many years. These are specialty items that must be ordered. We order these supplies in bulk over the summer. By ordering in bulk we receive a significant discount. We ask that families pay a $50 supply fee per child per semester, or a total of $100 per year. This will cover about 50% of the cost of supplies for the children with the significant discount. Parents are able to make additional donations or they can apply for a supply scholarship through the Birchtree Parent Guild.
Does the school have a dress code?
Because Waldorf-inspired education aims to create an educational environment free from distractions from the media, we recommend that student attire be free of large logos or cartoon characters. More details regarding student dress is outlined in the Birchtree Family Guide.
Where can I get details about Birchtree's curriculum?
Please see our curriculum page (coming soon).
What is the school's philosophy on homework?
Typically, students begin getting weekly homework in Grade Four, an age where most children are able to take full responsibility for their work. Homework will then gradually increase in frequency and amount in subsequent years.
How do you incorporate nature/outdoors into the school day?
The Waldorf-inspired curriculum exposes students to the natural world every day. Our 14-acre location will also offer ample opportunity for students to connect with nature!
If my child seems more advanced in reading and writing than her peers, will the school consider moving her up a grade?
Because Waldorf-inspired curriculum is based upon the developmental stages of each age group, academically advanced students typically remain with their peers. The curriculum, however, offers opportunities for students to receive extra academic challenges as needed.
What types of opportunities will there be to volunteer and how many hours are we expected to give?
Opportunities for volunteering will be advertised on the volunteer page of the website (coming soon). To learn about opportunities to volunteer in the classroom, you can communicate with the classroom lead volunteer. We encourage each BCS family to donate a minimum of 36 hours per school year.
How will discipline be handled for typical mild-moderate situations that may arise?
Most discipline issues will be handled by individual teachers, who will communicate directly with parents. The school assistant principal and/or principal will assist when needed.
What types of assessments will Birchtree be using?
As a public school in the state of Alaska, Birchtree is required to conduct all State-mandated tests. These include the Standards Based Assessments (SBAs) given annually to students in Grades 3 – 8, the TerraNova exam for students in Grades 5 and 7, and MAP testing for Grades 5-8. Additionally, Birchtree will be using assessment rubrics designed specifically for Waldorf-based programs by Bonnie River. These rubrics will assist teachers in assessing the learning growth of their students and will be shared with parents during parent/teacher conferences.

Delivery charge includes delivery to your home, placement of items, and removal of all packing materials. You will be contacted to schedule a delivery time. Please note that this item can not be delivered to Hawaii and Alaska; to PO, FPO and APO boxes; or to addresses outside the U.S.
Material: Hickly planked teak veneer
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth
Brand: Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams_
Origin: Imported
You could fill a house with nothing but Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams pieces, and it would still be interesting. Classic, retro-reminiscent curves dominate; each design both stands out on its own and plays well with others. And the accessories — from jewel-toned silk pillows to white apothecary jars — perfectly finish the look.

November 2014 Book Club Sweepstakes
Enter by November 30, 2014 for the chance to win up to 10 copies of The Republic of Imagination by Azar Nafisi!
A passionate hymn to the power of fiction to change people's lives, by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran.
Ten years ago, Azar Nafisi electrified readers with her million-copy bestseller, Reading Lolita in Tehran, which told the story of how, against the backdrop of morality squads and executions, she taught The Great Gatsby and other classics to her eager students in Iran. In this exhilarating followup, Nafisi has written the book her fans have been waiting for: an impassioned, beguiling, and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. What Reading Lolita in Tehran was for Iran, The Republic of Imagination is for America.
Taking her cue from a challenge thrown to her in Seattle, where a skeptical reader told her that Americans don't care about books the way they did back in Iran, she energetically responds to those who say fiction has nothing to teach us. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favorite American novels—The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Babbitt, and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, among others—she invites us to join her as citizens of her "Republic of Imagination," a country where the villains are conformity and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream.
Follow Azar Nafisi!
Enter for a chance to win: A maximum of ten (10) copies of The Republic of Imagination by Azar Nafisi for your book club (Approximate Retail Value up to $200.00). No purchase necessary. Open to residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia age 18 or older. Sweepstakes begins November 1, 2014.

I've been using this cookware set for several weeks and couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. I took a lot of time reviewing what's available before making my decision and I'm glad I settled on these. They not only look beautiful, but they perform as advertised. They are truly nonstick. I have never used any extra oils or fats or sprays in my cooking so I figure I'm saving calories as well. They wash up just beautifully. I find that I actually look forward to cooking a little more because I know I've got cookware that not only looks pretty but performs well and cleans easily.
I love the quality of these pots and pans. They are easy to clean and they look great.
I cook....a lot. Love to cook. These pots and pans are absolutely excellent. My only complaint is the size of the frying pan. Barely holds a piece of bacon. This is the perfect set for someone with just a couple of people in the house.
These pots and pans are so beautiful. It almost makes cooking a pleasure. They are very easy to use and to clean. I do not put them into the dishwasher, I wash them by hand. This is so simple as anything left on the pans just comes off easily. Of all the cookware I have owned in the past, this surpasses them all. I actually have 2 sets and threw all my other cookware away. I purchased the turquoise color and they match my decor perfectly.
I love these pans. I am going to get them for my kids and hope that they love them as much as I do. I love the quality and uniqueness of the pans. I have the stainless steel set and the robin blue set of Paula Deen's collection. I had Pampered Chef pans for the longest time and they have literally been replaced because they have been used so much and I would rather have the Paula Deen Pans over any other pans.
I love, love, love this cookware as much as I love Paula Deen's cooking. Not only are they great for cooking, they clean up easily and look wonderful in my kitchen.
I was very pleased with my "Overstock shopping" experience. From finding the right product, comparing prices and selection/payment.....it was all done with just a few key strokes. Our daughter was so happy to get this cookware set....the exact one she wanted. I too have Paula Deen's cookware and I would recommend it....as well as Overstock. I look forward to shopping for Christmas and other special occasions thru this online site. A++++
1 quart sauce pan does not balance without lid and still has a slight tilt. Called customer service of product and told replacement could not sent, I would have to send the complete box of pots and pans at my expense. Customer service not very helpful in resolving issue.
i get so many compliments on this beautiful set, it is gorgeous. the handles are heavy so be careful that it doesn't tip over.
I love my new PD cookware except for one thing...you can't use heat higher than medium. I'm glad I saved one old frying pan. How does she fry her chicken if you can't use med high or high!!!

Will Washington regulate packaging of marijuana edibles?
"It's insane," said a mom at Howard Amon Park after hearing about the 'special candy.' You might be thinking the same thing, just who are these companies targeting? "Definitely kids," she said. "Adults aren't going to be looking for Jolly Ranchers or cotton candy."
In the same day and age when Tide is fixing their packaging to stop kids from eating their pods, pot companies wanting to do business in Washington are doing the opposite. A packaging comparison between Pot Tarts and Pop Tarts is literally the difference of one letter.
"There needs to be the same laws for the type of packaging as there is for cigarettes and alcohol," said concerned mom, Amanda Riedinder. What Riedinder wants, is exactly what a group of concerned parents are lobbying our state legislators for. They are asking for rules to ensure pot wrappers "not bear a reasonable resemblance to packaging of any commercially branded candy that is not a marijuana-infused product."
It's because although the draft rules released last week prohibit advertising within 1,000 feet of schools or playgrounds and not using ads that with cartoon characters that appeal to kids, there's nothing about packaging or labeling.
"It's hard enough raising kids in this day and age and now we have to worry about them getting their hands on something they think is candy when it's drugs," questioned one mom.
Which begs the question, "how many kids have to accidentally buy these before someone gets sick from it or dies," said Jennifer Chambers, a mother and owner of a candy shop in Howard Amon Park.

Dear Members
The ITF propose to inaugurate a "Hall of Fame" to honour its members. It will take a long time to go over past records to find suitable candidates and so it is proposed that each member country submits suitable candidates so that we may begin with minimum delay. Therefore we ask that the NA submits people who, it is thought, are suitable. We ask that you consider people who have won 3 gold medals or more (and include all medals won) in official ITF World Championships and submit the details of Name; Address; Date of Birth; Date of joining ITF; Degree certificate number; Full details of year, event, category and other details which may assist the candidate to be selected. We expect that as we progress there may be reason to include other competitors, such as other than gold medal winners in World and Continental events. The nominations are not only for competitors but should include outstanding people such as Coaches, Umpires, Organisers, Masters and any others who are considered to be outstanding in any way. This is a project under consideration and any suggestions about what sort of awards and the form they take will be welcome. This is a chance for your distinctive members to be recognised forever and the ITF Board hope that you will participate.
All recommendations should be sent to GM Tom MacCallum at e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
We hope to make the first presentations at the World Championships this year in Benidorm, it is up to you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
ZEIKE, a Fountain Hills Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Fountain Hills, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Fountain Hills.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fountain Hills already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fountain Hills breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fountain Hills paves the way for another one to be saved.

Adds and Drops
You can still add a Telecourse in the normal way, which is having the instructor give you an ADD # to place on an ADD form and then taking the ADD form to the registration office. You can avoid waiting in line by adding via online WebStar.
Make sure you have BOTH the CRN number and the ADD CODE for the class you want to add.
The add code can be used only ONCE for that class.
You can get your add code for some Telecourses from the Telecourse Office in Bungalow 204. Check either with your instructor or the Telecourse Office.
If you decide you have to drop or withdraw from a Telecourse it is YOUR responsibility to fill out the necessary paperwork and take it to the Registration Center in Smith Hall.
Please refer to either the Time Schedule or the Catalogue for the exact procedure to follow when you drop or withdraw from a class.
Besides dropping a class in person by filling out a drop slip and taking it to the Registration Office, you can also drop by WebSTARS during the first few weeks of class. Check the Time Schedule for exact dates.
Check with your instructor to see if you have to go to the department to get a drop slip signed or to receive your 7 digit drop code.

Bob Melvin & The Fightin' Bananas
As we return home from a 2-4 road trip, I offer you some random–yet hopefully insightful–observations about your Oakland A's. First, it starts with the mystical powers of those magnificent gold jerseys. By now, I'm sure you know the mercurial history of Oakland's alternate tops. Clearly, they were not designed to accompany our gray pants on the road, but when you rattle off a five-game home winning streak like we did last week, fashion statements be damned. We're talking baseball superstition here. And while the winning streak ended, Bob Melvin and the "Fightin' Bananas" accorded themselves quite well in the near-fluorescent jerseys in New York and Philadelphia. It took 13 innings and a graze-of-the-jersey pitch from Brad Ziegler to end the magic in 13 innings Wednesday. Equipment man Steve "Voos" Vucinich put them back on the shelf for the Mets' finale and series opener in Philly, but pitching ace Trevor Cahill decided to channel the power once again, and the Fightin' Bananas were back on display Saturday at Citizens Bank Park. Like the Mets broadcasters before, the Phillies' announcers just reamed us for the garish look and the fact the tops and bottoms don't seem to match. Of course, they're entitled to their opinions. But thanks to a Cahill masterpiece and some timely hitting, the Athletics rose up to tag Cole Hamels with only his fourth loss of the season. And while Melvin and his Plantain Men didn't fare quite as well yesterday, the fact remained that they mustered–or is that mustard –eight hits off Roy Halladay and kept the game's outcome in doubt until the waning moments. So, maybe those shockingly bright gold jerseys are worth wearing when the A's need an added jolt. Who knows, maybe this will end up being known as The Season of the Fightin' Bananas.
Another week of working with our new manager continues to reveal more about Bob Melvin. After yesterday's narrow loss, he was a picture of dejection and frustration. Clearly, this is not a man who will ever accept losing. He could have easily rationalized the 3-1 defeat, chalking it up to facing one of the game's elite pitchers. But instead, he would have no part of it. He wanted to tell his players, the media, even his PR man, that it was not okay to lose this game or the series, because we can't think that way. You could tell he believed that his club could, maybe even should, beat a Halladay who wasn't at his most dominant yesterday. It's that competitive spirit that has served Melvin well whereever he's managed. And it fits into his pro-active, aggressive approach to the game. A Josh Willingham steal of third base led to a win over the Tim Lincecum and the Giants last week.
The same have-no-fear mantra has been preached by Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson whenever he visits the team. And perhaps their top disciple is rookie Jemile Weeks, who seemed to thrive on the big stage of New York and Philadelphia. Not only has he provided a .300 hitter and stolen base threat at the top of the order, as evidenced by his two-steal, three-run performance in the NY opener Tuesday and three-hit outburst in Saturday's win over the Phils, but he has shown a flair at second base that has made him a fan favorite almost overnight. You want to talk about swagger? How about making a back-handed flip from his glove to start a 4-6-3 double play to slam the lid on Saturday's win? And he chose to do it before a sellout crowd of over 45,000 howling fans in South Philly–fans who have razzed players much more prominent than Weeks, not to mention booed future Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt and also a guy named Santa Claus.
As I watched our injury-riddled starting rotation continue to pitch impressively on the trip, I couldn't help but think, "what other team in baseball can run out their No. 8 and No. 9 pitchers on the depth chart and get these kind of results?" That's exactly what we did in the Giants series, when Graham Godfrey and Guillermo Moscoso outpitched Lincecum and Jonathan Sanchez in beating San Francisco, and that pair, along with Josh Outman, continued to deliver sterling efforts on the trip. In fact, Moscoso (2.68 ERA) and Outman (3.10 ERA) have both posted outstanding ERA as emergency fill-ins. The good news is reinforcements are on the way, as Brandon McCarthy, Rich Harden and Tyson Ross should join the big club from rehab assignments by the end of the week or early in July, it would appear.
And for those of you looking to enjoy Bay Area summer weather and A's baseball, we've got an intriguing homestand on the way. This Tuesday, the Florida Marlins and their new–or is that old–manager, the 80-year-old Jack McKeon, invade the Coliseum for a three-game interleague set. Then Oakland concludes its interleague schedule this weekend, when Melvin's old club, the Arizona Diamondbacks, pay the East Bay a visit. And the homestand continues when Seattle, the AL West's most surprising team, kicks off a three-game series on the 4th of July. Four of the nine home games will be played in the bright sunshine of day baseball. And who knows, they may also be played in the brightness of those crazy gold jerseys. I wonder if Dole or Chiquitas might be interested in sponsoring them?
1 Comment
I guess if they win successively, time will come that Dole or Chiquitas will also sponsor this baseball team. I have seen their game once and so far I can say that this team has this secret to win certain competition. The thing we called teamwork.
