"Very Good (but why all the secrecy?)"
Little Bee is a story both sad and hopeful, horrific and funny. It's told in the voices of two women: Little Bee, a 16-year old from Nigeria who, after two years, finds herself "unofficially" discharged from an immigration detention center in southern England; and Sarah O'Rourke, magazine editor, mother, reporter's wife. Among Little Bee's few belongings are Andrew O'Rourke's driver's license and business card. Not knowing anyone in the UK, she decides to head for the address on the driver's license. And thus begins a journey for both women.
If you've seen Little Bee in print, you know that the dust jacket warns that there are many surprises to come, that the publisher won't spoil them by telling you much, and that you shouldn't tell anyone else either. I didn't see what all the secrecy was about, beyond a marketing ploy. The book is no more "surprising" than many others. Still, Cleave has a wonderfully lyrical style, especially in the character of Little Bee.
As to the reader, the unvarying cheerfulness apparently intended to represent Little Bee's accent did get a bit monotonous and annoying at times. While that lilting African accent is charming, I doubt that Africans use exactly the same tone and pacing for every emotion they verbally express. Still, overall, this was an engaging book with some important messages.
"Very Entertaining Bio"
'My Life in Pieces' is not your typical autobiography. It's a compilation of "pieces" written by the actor Simon Callow for various newspapers, books, programs, memorials, etc. Most of them, of course, revolve around Callow's work in the theatre and on film. If his name isn't familiar to you, his face probably will be, from movies if not the stage: he played the Rev. Mr. Beebe in 'A Room with a View,' Schikaneder/Papageno in 'Amadeus,' and Gareth, the gay man who dies of a heart attack at one of the receptions in 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.' He's also well-known for his one-man show on Charles Dickens, which was televised in the UK and is available on DVD here in the US. Callow presents insightful essays on many of the great actors of the twentieth century, most of whom he has acted with, including Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness, Paul Scofield, Orson Welles, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Ian McKellan, and more. In addition, he writes about several directors and playwrights, classic 'schools' and 'methods' of acting, and his own views on the status of acting on today's stage.
Callow is a wonderful writer and a great storyteller. He can be funny, charming, reverent, and insightful--sometimes in the same piece. The stories he tells of working in the theatre are delightful, but they also give one an appreciation for the true art of acting. I listened to this book on audio, and with Callow himself as reader, it was a wonderful experience. I've always thought he was a fine, underrated character actor, and my admiration of his work has grown after reading/listening to these 'pieces.'
Recommended for anyone interested theatre arts.
"Clever and Witty"
If she was alive today, I'd be writing to thank Muriel Spark for adding a useful phrase to my repertoire: pisseur de copie. It's a phrase that gets Mrs. Hawkins (later known as Nancy) into a good deal of trouble, but she never takes it back. Mrs. Hawkins, a large-boned and hefty 28-year-old war widow, works in the world of publishing, and she lives in a boarding house full of eccentric characters, including a Polish seamstress, a pampered daddy's girl, a clever lower class medical student, and others. It's her connection to Hector Bartlett, the pisseur de copie, that shapes the novel. Mrs. Hawkins takes an immediate dislike to the pretentious would-be author, who tries repeatedly to use his 'friendship' with popular novelist Emma Loy as an entry ticket. (Nancy suspects a sexual liaison, but Emma's revelation that Hector can quote from all of her novels--wrongly--suggests something a bit more egotistical.) When tragedy strikes the boarding house community, Mrs. Hawkins launches an investigation of her own.
'A Far Cry from Kensington' is a delightful trek into the world of publishing, ca. 1950s, and a wonderfully droll study of character. I've read only one other novel by Spark, but I'll definitely be seeking out more.
"Sad but Lovely Story"
McLaverty's novel of "the troubles" in Northern Ireland, first published in 1983, has become a classic. Young Cal McCluskey is haunted by the role he played in the murder of a policeman yet struggles to detach from the IRA. Matters get worse when Cal falls for the local librarian who, he later learns, is the policeman's widow. As their romance heats up, he is saddened by the knowledge that their relationship is doomed: both of them have stated their belief in 100% honesty between partners, but Cal knows that 100% honesty will destroy them.
'Cal' depicts the horrors of the continuing conflict betwen Catholics and Protestants: beatings, fire-bombings, land minds, shattered families and shattered psyches. Overall, a finely written and very moving novel. David Threlfall is a very reader.
"Very Enjoyable!"
Hundreds of novels have been written about Elizabeth I, so one wonders, what could be written about her life that hasn't been covered before? Margaret George takes as her subject a less familiar period of Elizabeth's life, the last 15 years or so, from the approach of the Spanish Armada to her death in 1603. It's a daring decision, since what we generally think of as the most exciting events in her reign--her imprisonment by her half-sister Mary, her dalliance Thomas Seymour, her ascendance to the throne, the string of foreign suitors and her 'affair' with Robert Dudley, the arrest of her cousin Mary of Scotland, etc.--have already occurred. So what could there be in the life of an aging queen that is worthy of another massive tome?
Plenty--especially if you are a reader who is more interested in characters than action. And George starts us off with plenty of action as the English troops prepare to meet the Armada. We're introduced to some of the major players of the period: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the leader of Elizabeth's troops; her spymaster Frances Walsingham (incongruously clad in armor); Sir Walter Raleigh; Secretary Burleigh; Leicester's stepson, the Earl of Essex;--the list goes on.
But characters drive this novel. By focusing on an aging queen with aging advisors who are often in conflict with the younger members of the council, George finds a reason to explore relationships, the changes wrought by maturity and experience, and a growing generation gap that affects both court and country. The effect is enhanced by dividing the novel between two narrators, Elizabeth and her cousin Lettice Knollys. The ten years younger, more beautiful, and thrice-married Lettice is the granddaughter of Mary Boleyn, sister of the queen's doomed mother. A third Boleyn cousin, Catherine Knollys, enters the picture as one of Elizabeth's foremost ladies in waiting. It is Catherine who observes near the end of the book that together they represent the three paths of womanhood: one a life-long virgin, one thrice widowed, and one happily married to the same man since her youth.
While Elizabeth and Lettice would seem to be polar opposites (and Lettice had incurred the queen's lifelong enmity for seducing away and marrying Leicester), George's narrative subtly reveals the similarities between them as well. For one thing, both have learned the value of patience; for another, both reflect on the mistakes and lessons of the past and on the process of aging. Whatever else she may be, Lettice is also a devoted mother; and George depicts Elizabeth as a mother much devoted to her "children," the people of England, as well as to her many godchildren. In the case of Elizabeth, George attempts to dig below the myths and give us a closer look at the woman behind the face paint and the crown. The double narratives remind us of how difficult it was to be a woman in those days, especially for a woman who had to remind the world that she was a prince as well.
Now, don't get the impression that this book is all thought and no action. After all, we are talking about a period that encompassed the invasion of the Armada and the continued threat from Spain, the Lopez 'plot,' the Irish wars, the Essex rebellion, the problem of the succession, and more. And for good measure, George imagines a dalliance between Lettice and that upstart playwright William Shakespeare. (Both women comment on his work and ponder its relevance--and John Donne makes two appearances as well.) In short, George gives us a brimming picture of life, both public and private, in late Elizabethan England.
"Finally Got Around to This One"
Initially, I was totally captivated by this story of Jean Padgett, a young English woman working in Malaya who became a Japanese prisoner of war. The hardships that the women and children endured during their trek to one nonexistent prison camp after another and the alternating kindness and inhumanity of their captors kept me reading (well, listening; this was an audiobook) at a rapid pace. Under such an unlikely circumstances, one wouldn't expect to fall in love, but we do sense that it is happening to Jean when she means a resourceful Australian named Joe Harmon. But the war intervenes . . .
The novel opens with the narrator, a solicitor, tracking down Jean to tell her that she has just come into an inheritance, and it is to Noah that Jean tells her story. After hearing all she endured, he could hardly be more surprised when Jean tells him her plans for the money: to return to Malaya.
I won't spoil the book by telling what happens next, but there are quite a few surprises in store. I have to admit that the last third of the novel--the part that reflects the title--was somewhat less interesting to me. Still, this is one of those books whose title was familiar but about which I knew nothing, and overall, it was worthwhile.
"Starts Well, Ends "Meh""
This is one of those books that really hooked me in at first but fell off a bit towards the end. It's 1922, and Cora Carlisle, a respectable Wichita wife in her late thirties, is hired to accompany 15-year old Louise Brooks to New York City. Louise, who became a silent film star a few years later, had been accepted by the exclusive dance school run by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Despite their age difference, it quickly becomes clear that it's Cora, not Louise, who is the more naive. Wherever they go, the beautiful Louise attracts male attention--and seems to know just what to do with it.
The story is more that of Cora than of Louise. The main reason that she wants to go to New York is to find out about her birth parents. She vaguely remembers a dark-haired woman holding her and singing in a foreign language, but her earliest clear memories are of the Catholic orphanage where she was raised to about age seven. Cora was one of thousands of orphaned children who were put on trains and shipped to potential parents in the plains states. Fortunately, her adoptive parents were loving and kind, but as she grew, Cora's life was not untouched by tragedy. In a day when adoption records were sealed, Cora attempts to find out who where she came from, who she really is.
The confrontations between Cora and Louise are exactly what one would expect, Cora constantly reminding her charge that she mustn't allow herself to be "compromised," Louise scoffing at Cora's old-fashioned Christian morality. This leads to a lot of self-examination on the chaperone's part, including the revelation of family secrets. But it isn't long before Louise is invited to join the Denis-Shawn company, and Cora heads back to Wichita--but not exactly to the same life.
The last quarter of the novel rushes through 50+ years of Cora's life, with occasional mentions and sightings of Louise. Overall, it seems rushed, and rather formulaic, all the 'surprises' too anticipated: hence the 3.5 rating. The rush is even more pronounced because the section on Louise seems rather dragged out. Think about the balance: 3/4 of the book focused on a few months in 1922 (plus Cora's memories), 1/3 covering the next 50+ years.
Overall, it's not a bad read, just slightly disappointing in the end. One thing I did get out of it was a renewed interest in Louise Brooks, one of the most distinctively stunning and most controversial actresses of the silent film era.
"Just Didn't Grab Me"
As its title suggests, this book works within the frame of a self help or "how to" book. Each chapter is headed with a rule (e.g., "Don't Fall in Love"), and the narrator uses imperatives, addressed to "you," as is typical of the genre. One of the effects of addressing the reader in this manner is to deliberately distance the speaker from the subject of his story, but this is clearly a very personal story of a man rising from abject poverty to wealth and of a woman (known only as "the pretty girl" well into her fifties) whose life intersects with his. So how does one become filthy rich in rising Asia? Through one form of corruption or another: hustling, stealing, prostituting, threatening, payback, demeaning, disloyalty, submission to those even more corrupt than oneself, etc. It's a life shadowed by sadness and anxiety, even when one's efforts succeed. Hamid gives us keen insights into life in "rising Asia" (no exact location or even a country is ever named), a view that contrasts with recent western paranoia about those nations supposedly poised to take over the world's economy. It's a story about the lengths to which desperation drives human beings in an increasingly materialistic world, and about the discovery, in the end, of what is most important to our lives.
"A Fine Collection"
'Astray' is a fascinating and diverse collection of fourteen short stories/vignettes loosely based on snippets from letters, newspaper articles, footnotes, and other historical documents. Donoghue has taken these small pieces and used both her research and her imagination to flesh them out into complete characters and stories. They range across centuries (from the 17th to the 20th) and are set in various places (London, Texas, Ontario, Massachusetts, and more), and the main characters come from all walks of life: a young Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary war, an elephant keeper, two Gold Rush prospectors, a pair of female sculptors, a runaway slave, a prostitute, a young widowed mother unable to support her child--to name but a few. What they all have in common is that each has in some way taken a life journey that has gone astray, whether due to accident, ambition, corruption, madness, or the pinch of necessity. Each story is followed by a brief explanation of the document that inspired it and what Donoghue learned about the real-life characters' fates. I found two of the stories that were based on letters particularly moving. "Counting Down the Days" tells of a young Irish man who emigrated to Canada, leaving his wife and baby behind; now, at last, she is sailing to join him. In "The Gift," an impoverished young widow reluctantly gives her baby daughter into the care of a social services agency; they place her in a foster home and eventually facilitate her adoption. The story consists of letters written by the birth mother, who attempts to retrieve her lost daughter, and by her adoptive father.
'Astray' bears some similarities to Donoghue's earlier collection, 'The Woman Who Gave Birth to Rabbits,' but her skills as a writer have been finely tuned since 2002. While not all of the stories are equally strong, there is something admirable in each, and something here for everyone. Highly recommended.
"Not McEwan's Best, IMO"
McEwan's latest novel initially had me captivated, but something--mainly, my interest--got a little lost along the way. Fiona Maye, a British judge who decides cases involving child welfare, has just reached a number of difficult and controversial decisions. One concerned the custody of two young girls whose parents belong to a strict Jewish sect. Unable to bear more children, the mother enrolled in open university classes and began to pursue a career, becoming more "worldly" in the process, much to the dismay of her husband. The second was the case of conjoined twins, one of whom could survive if they were separated; if not, both were doomed to die. The hospital asked the court to intervene because the parents believed that whatever happened was God's will. Now, sitting on her desk, is yet another difficult case. Adam Henry, just three months shy of his majority (18), suffers from leukemia, but he and his parents, who are Jehovah's Witnesses, reject the blood transfusions that could save his life. In making her decision, Fiona tries to keep focused strictly on the letter of the law, the sanctity of individual faith, and the welfare of the child in question. However, her ability to keep her professional life separate from her personal life quavers when she meets Adam, a sensitive, self-assured, intelligent young man.
For in the midst of all this, Fiona's marriage has begun to fall apart. Her husband announces that, with her permission, he would like to have an affair while he is still capable, complaining that she has no interest in sex and is just no fun anymore. He also feels that she has become closed off and is keeping things to herself that he wishes she would share. Fiona begins to contemplate the past: what she has given up for the sake of her career, including having children of her own.
In some ways, I would have been happier had the novel ended with Fiona's decision, or perhaps with Adam's letter in response to it. But, as is usual for McEwan, things take a detour that is a bit off kilter. Of course, this leads to more self-analysis on Fiona's part--another hallmark of McEwan's work. In this regard, 'The Children Act' is somewhat reminiscent of another brief novel, On Chesil Beach.
All in all, this was an engaging read up to the rather muddled, unsatisfactory conclusion. Definitely worth reading, but not among McEwan's best. If you haven't read 'Atonement' or 'On Chesil Beach', pick those up first.
"Too Much Romance for My Taste"
I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this book. The cover intrigued me, it was set in Scotland, and the present day main character is a writer of historical fiction, so I thought I'd give it a try. In the end, it was just OK--a bit too heavy on the romance for my taste. The novel centers around a young, successful writer who has gone to Scotland to do research for a new book that will be based on the life on one of her ancestors. Set in the 18th century and focused on the efforts to bring the Stuarts back to the throne of England, the novel shaped some of the more interesting chapters. The modern-day story involves two handsome Scottish brothers who both are attracted to Carrie, the writer. This I could definitely have done without, and I thought the concept of Carrie channeling the memories of her ancestor was also a bit of a stretch.
I doubt that I will be looking for more novels by this author.
The reader wasn't bad, although she laid it on pretty thick when speaking in the voice of Scottish men.

I wish my sharpening station looked like that.
Can I rent out the showroom to renew my wedding vows? I think we should have a KKF keg party there afterward.
If "Its" and "Buts" was candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas
-Cleon "Slammin'" Salmon
Almost, but still wish there is a cross between Tokyo Mart in North Bridge, Leigh's place, and a bit more competitive pricing w.r.t. international shop + shipping ^_^.
I do frequent chef's armoury often enough, but mainly for grocer. His powder wasabi is the next best option to Tassie grown fresh one (which is not really a financially viable option for me if I have to buy the whole box)
ECG at KORIN next year!!!!

I keep being told that I can download a starter set when I sign up. I have signed up and still can't figure out how to get my beginners kit to start working. Can anybody help?
Send a PM to Debra or Holly. They should be able to help you out. It has been so long since I downloaded mine I don't remember, but my guess is you will get a message from them.
BTW, welcome! This is a great digi community and everyone here is super friendly.
Yep, Cathy's right! I'm not sure where it is, but Debra would be the one to help you out (I think Holly is out of town).

My problem is that I signed on a couple of months ago and then got cold feet. So if I got a welcome email, it's probably in ether limbo. Debra answered me, so I'll follow her link.
This is really cool. Thanks so much for coming to my help. I'll let you all know if I succeeded.
good luck! You may need to re-register in order to now get the welcome kit since it's probably long gone from your mailbox... maybe just re-register with a 1 at the end of your name.

Communal Violence Bill Incites Heated Debate
June 2, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, TMO
NEW DELHI: Heated political debate is brewing between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Communal Violence Bill cleared recently by National Advisory Council (NAC), led by United Progressive Alliance (UPA)-head Sonia Gandhi. The Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Regulations) Bill 2011, if adopted by Parliament, will permit the center to intervene in cases of communal or targeted violence by invoking a provision in article 355 of the Constitution. As per this article, the bill permits the central government to declare any case of communal violence as "internal disturbance" and take actions considered appropriate. The center's duty, according to article 355, is "to protect every state against external aggression and internal disturbance and ensure the government of every state is carried on in accordance with provisions of this Constitution."
Criticizing the proposed bill, senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said it would lead to intrusion into states, make the majority community culpable and damage inter-community relations. Countering BJP's stand, Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: "We are shocked at the BJP's reaction. Firstly, nothing has been finalized. Opinions are being sought from diverse sections. The BJP is trying to further its communal agenda. It is trying to do so by pre-emptive strike and debunking a draft bill under discussion." He added: "The country knows which political party has communal agenda from its birth, continues to be bound by umbilical chord of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and carries the shame of Gujarat, Karnataka and Babri with ease." With the party (BJP) being "naturally worried," it has opted for this "pre-emptive strike," Singhvi said.
The bill has also been described by the BJP as "dangerous, draconian, discriminatory and damaging to India's federal policy." The Congress has retaliated by saying: "We will fight them to the end on this issue, there won't be compromises. There will be a huge political cost involved for anybody who sides with the BJP on this issue."
The Congress is confident that the BJP would be isolated in its opposition to the bill when it is introduced in the Parliament. "The BJP is free to challenge the constitutional validity of the law after it is enacted. Let it be tested in court instead of trying to abort it before its birth on petty and trivial grounds. The BJP's pernicious propaganda is reflective of its communal agenda and guilt complex," Singhvi said. The Congress is "determined" to bring the bill in the next session of the Parliament.
Rejecting BJP's allegation on center's plan to encroach into states' domain, Singhvi said that the clause which permits this, also has safeguards. Before intervening, the center would first advise the state, if there was a communal flare-up. The center would wait for action and would intervene only if state's inaction led the situation to further flare up.
Justifying the need for central intervention in serious cases, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal cited the experience of Gujarat-carnage. Despite nine years having passed by, FIR had not been registered in many cases, Sibal pointed out. A Special Investigation Team (SIT), appointed by Supreme Court, was still examining the need to lodge an FIR in the Gujarat-cases, which only necessitates the need for central intervention in extraordinary cases, Sibal said.
Demanding explanation on controversial provisions of the bill, which allegedly hold only majority community as responsible for riots, BJP senior leader Ravi Shanker Prasad said: "Tell us clearly, Soniaji- can the majority community in India become victims of communal violence or not?" Dismissing the need for the bill, Prasad said: "We all agree that riots should be prevented. But prevention should not become worse than the disease. There is civil society, courts and the media in the country which have helped in curbing riots."
"There is no need for the bill. It will work to divide the majority and minority communities," BJP leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain said. Blaming the Congress for using the bill to divert attention, Hussain said: "There is peace and harmony in the country today. The Congress is not able to digest this." Hussain also expressed apprehension on the bill being used against National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-ruled states. As current laws were enough to check communal violence, he said priority should be given to legal measures for tackling terrorism.
The sensitive bill was introduced in the Parliament in 2005. It has taken several years for the government to finally act on pushing the bill through the Parliament. Despite the BJP sparing no measure to attack the Congress, the latter is confident that the party will be able to push the bill through the Parliament. Describing the bill as "minority appeasement," the BJP is hopeful of consolidating the support of majority community's votes. The Congress is sure, according to party leaders, that parties such as Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Biju Janata Dal, Rashtriya Janata Dal together with the Left and Telegu Desam are least likely to side with the BJP on the bill.

Whether or not you agree or not with the Beta thing… this is not the place for that. Please leave that elsewhere.
A couple site offer the Beta download (not free) but it does give a free preview. That said you can take a look at the (what I am sure is tentative) table of contents listing all regiments, regiment creation, all 12 specialties, the confirmation of vehicles, and the setting enemies. This gives a HUGE insight into whats in the book (as much as free gets you). And "Comrades."
I think Chaos as an enemy will me interesting, like the Stigmartus enemies of Deathwatch … but scarier. The Dark Eldar similarly.
And it seems that all characters get a comrade, a sidekick from the sound of it. Dunno yet.
I'm happy with the ToC so far!

Through the whole of the Proverbs, we are to look for somewhat beyond the first sense the passage may imply, and this we shall find to be Christ. He is the Wisdom so often spoken of in this book.
Verse 1 The comfort of parents much depends on their children; and ( proverbs 10:2-3 ) the righteous may be poor, the Lord will not suffer him to want what is needful for spiritual life. Verse 4 . Those who are fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, are likely to be rich in faith, and rich in good works. Verse 5 . Here is just blame of those who trifle away opportunities, both for here and for hereafter. Verse 6 . Abundance of blessings shall abide on good men; real blessings. Verse 7 . Both the just and the wicked must die; but between their souls there is a vast difference. Verse 8 . The wise in heart puts his knowledge in practice. Verse 9 . Dissemblers, after all their shuffling, will be exposed. Verse 10 . Trick and artifice will be no excuse for iniquity. Verse 11 . The good man's mouth is always open to teach, comfort, and correct others. Verse 12 . Where there is hatred, every thing stirs up strife. By bearing with each other, peace and harmony are preserved. Verse 13 . Those that foolishly go on in wicked ways, prepare rods for themselves. Verse 14 . Whatever knowledge may be useful, we must lay it up, that it may not be to seek when we want it. The wise gain this wisdom by reading, by hearing the word, by meditation, by prayer, by faith in Christ, who is made of God unto us wisdom. Verse 15 . This refers to the common mistakes both of rich and poor, as to their outward condition. Rich people's wealth exposes them to many dangers; while a poor man may live comfortably, if he is content, keeps a good conscience, and lives by faith. Verse 16 . Perhaps a righteous man has no more than what he works hard for, but that labour tends to life. Verse 17 . The traveller that has missed his way, and cannot bear to be told of it, and to be shown the right way, must err still. Verse 18 . He is especially a fool who thinks to hide anything from God; and malice is no better. Verse 19 . Those that speak much, speak much amiss. He that checks himself is a wise ( proverbs 10:20-21 ) the just is sincere, freed from the dross of guile and evil design. Pious discourse is spiritual food to the needy. Fools die for want of a heart, so the word is; for want of thought. Verse 22 . That wealth which is truly desirable, has no vexation of spirit in the enjoyment; no grief for the loss; no guilt by the abuse of it. What comes from the love of God, has the grace of God for its companion. Verse 23 . Only foolish and wicked men divert themselves with doing harm to others, or tempting to sin. Verse 24 . The largest desire of eternal blessings the righteous can form, will be granted. Verse 25 . The course of prosperous sinners is like a whirlwind, which soon spends itself, and is gone. Verse 26 . As vinegar sets the teeth on edge, and as the smoke causes the eyes ( proverbs 10:27-28 ) is he that loves life? Let him fear God, and that will secure to him life enough in this world, and eternal life in the other. Verse 29 . The believer grows stronger in faith, and obeys with increased delight. Verse 30 . The wicked would be glad to have this earth their home for ever, but it cannot be so. They must die ( proverbs 10:31-32 ) wisely for the benefit of others. But it is the sin, and will be the ruin of a wicked man, that he speaks what is displeasing to God, and provoking to those he converses with. The righteous is kept by the power of God; and nothing shall be able to separate him from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
Proverbs 10:1-32 . Here begins the second part of the book, Proverbs 10:1-22:16', which, with the third, Proverbs 22:16-25:28', contains series of proverbs whose sense is complete in one or two verses, and which, having no logical connection, admit of no analysis. The parallelisms of Proverbs 10:1-15:33' are mostly antithetic; and those of Proverbs 16:1-22:16', synthetic. The evidences of art in the structure are very clear, and indicate, probably, a purpose of facilitating the labor of memorizing.
1. wise [and] foolish--as they follow or reject the precepts of wisdom.
maketh . . . father--or, "gladdens a father."
heaviness--or, "grief."
2. Treasures . . . nothing--that is, Ill-gotten gains give no true happiness (compare Proverbs 4:17 , Matthew 6:19 ).
righteousness--especially beneficence ( Psalms 112:9 ).
death--the greatest of all evils.
3. (Compare Psalms 37:16-20 ). The last clause is better: "He will repel the greedy desires of the wicked."
4. slack--literally, "deceitful," failing of its purpose (compare Hosea 7:16 ).
maketh rich--(compare Proverbs 10:22 ).
5. son--as Proverbs 1:8 Proverbs 1:10 , and often.
sleepeth--in indolence, and not for rest.
causeth shame--literally, "is base" (compare Proverbs 14:35 , 17:2 ).
6. Blessings--literally, "Praises." The last clause is better: "The mouth of the wicked covereth (or concealeth) violence (or mischievous devices)" to be executed in due time ( Psalms 5:9 , 10:7 , Romans 3:14 ), and hence has no praises (compare Proverbs 10:11 ).
7. blessed--literally, "for a blessing," or praise.
shall rot--literally, "be worm-eaten," useless and disgusting.
8. wise, &c.--(compare Proverbs 9:8 Proverbs 9:9 Proverbs 9:16 ), opposed to
prating fool--or, "fool of lips of wicked language."
fall--headlong, suddenly.
9. perverteth his ways--acts deceitfully.
known--discovered and punished.
10. Two vices contrasted; hypocrisy, or insinuating evil against one ( Proverbs 6:13 , Psalms 35:19 ), and rashness of speech. In each case, the results are on the evildoers.
11. a well--or, "source" of good to himself and others ( John 7:37 John 7:38 ). On last clause,
12. strifes--or, "litigations."
covereth--by forgiveness and forbearance.
13. In the lips . . . found--hence, not beaten, as the wicked-speaking fool.
void of understanding--( Proverbs 6:32 , 7:7 ).
14. lay up knowledge--that is, as treasures for good use.
mouth . . . destruction--or, "as to the mouth," &c., destruction is near; they expose themselves to evil by prating.
15. Both by trusting in "uncertain riches" ( 1 Timothy 6:17 ), or by the evils of poverty ( Proverbs 30:9 ), men, not fearing God, fall into dangers.
16. The industry of the righteous is alone truly successful, while the earnings of the wicked tempt and lead to sin.
17. keepeth--observes ( Proverbs 3:18 , 4:22 ).
refuseth--or, "turns from reproof," which might direct him aright.
18. Both vices must one day be known and punished, and hence their folly.
19. Much speech involves risk of sin; hence the wisdom of restraining the tongue ( Psalms 39:1 , 1:26 ).
20. Right speech is the fruit of a good heart, but the wicked show theirs to be useless.
21. Fools not only fail to benefit others, as do the righteous, but procure their own ruin (compare Proverbs 10:11 Proverbs 10:17 , Hosea 4:6 ).
22. it maketh, &c.--"it" is emphatic. Riches from God are without the sorrow of ill-gotten wealth (compare Ecclesiastes 2:21-23 , 1 Timothy 6:9 1 Timothy 6:10 1 Timothy 6:17 ).
23. Sin is the pleasure of the wicked; wisdom that of the good.
24. it--the very thing. The wicked get dreaded evil; the righteous, desired good.
25. (Compare Psalms 1:4 , Psalms 37:9 Psalms 37:10 Psalms 37:36 ).
righteous . . . foundation--well laid and firm ( Matthew 7:24 Matthew 7:25 ).
26. that is, causes vexation.
27. (Compare Proverbs 9:11 , Psalms 55:23 ).
28. gladness--in confidence of realizing it.
expectation . . . perish--in disappointment.
29. The way, &c.--that is, God's providence sustains the righteous and overthrows the wicked ( Hosea 14:9 ).
30. (Compare Proverbs 12:3 , Psalms 37:9-11 , 102:28 ).
earth--or, "land of promise."
31. bringeth forth--literally, "germinates" as a plant.
froward--(Compare Proverbs 2:12 Proverbs 2:14 ).
cut off--as an unproductive plant.
32. know--regard and provide for ( Psalms 1:6 ).
frowardness--all kinds of deceit and ill-nature. The word is plural.

In several years of field trials, Scott and his colleagues have found that the transgenic tomato can be successfully grown without copper—one of two main bactericides—and produces twice the yields.
Not only would this be a boon to growers, but it also would yield significant environmental benefits since copper can build up in the soil, causing toxicity at high enough levels.
If you just look at this technology's environmental benefits alone, it's a no brainer.
Drilling down further, it's not like the researchers are using genetic material from a totally unrelated species, like a squid or a yak.
The gene is from a pepper, which belongs to the same plant family as tomatoes.
If you were to eat salsa, chances are you'd be consuming the Bs2 gene found in hot peppers and tomatoes together in one mouthful.
The Bs2 tomato is still several years from the market, and let's hope common sense will be leading the GMO debate by then.

ORLEANS – Shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday, a resident of the city of Orleans reported an overflowing manhole in the 13700 block of Sunset Drive, on the southeast side of Big Spirit Lake. The Iowa Great Lakes Sanitary District inspected the area and found that about 21,000 gallons of untreated wastewater had discharged to a storm sewer. The wastewater then flowed into the lake about 1400 feet northeast of the Orleans beach.
In less than an hour, the sanitary district stopped the discharge. The district discovered a pipeline below the manhole had collapsed. The district is working to repair the pipeline.
The DNR is taking water samples Wednesday for testing. DNR staff recommends residents stay away from the area of the discharge for 48 hours.
The DNR will continue to monitor the situation.

Three Rush players tabbed for ODP Regional pool
Idaho Rush recently had three eplayers named to the Region IV ODP pools in their age groups. Congratulations to Sam Rucklos (1998), Rowan Pierson (1999) and Gabi Coprivnicar (2000). Rucklos plays for the boys U16 Premier team, Pierson is a recent add to the boys U15 Premier team, and Coprivnicar plays for the girls U14 Premier team. They were identified during ODP Regional Camps in McMinnville, Ore., (boys) and Pomona, Calif., (girls) for their outstanding play as one of the top players in Region 4 for their age. Being in the regional pool makes them eligible to attend different Regional events throughout the year, where they will be scouted for the US National Team. The US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) is a nationwide process dedicated to the identification and training of players for State, Regional, and National Teams. Regional teams are selected for the U13-U17 boys and girls. Idaho is in Region IV, which includes 14 state associations in the western U.S. Again, congratulations for your hard work and good luck in the future! |

Not a single freeze up, bad recording, or anything similar in almost 2 months of heavy use - I attached it to the 21 the day it was installed.
Prior to that, it was used it for almost a year with a TiVO HD with the same good results. Maybe I was just lucky and got a "good" unit?
Been looking at reviews on retail sites and they are mixed. But who knows if the person writing the bad review knew what he was doing? I thought WD just came out with the expanders. And with that thought, I assumed they would be coming out with larger units. Know anything about this?

Kyle Chandler Gossip
Kyle Chandler gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Coach Taylor's award season
Cindy Ord/ Getty
We miss him...but... I'm not sure if he really misses us. Because he's busy. He's working a lot. And he's working very, very well. Here's Kyle Chandler at the premiere of Zero Dark Thirty in New York last night with Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain and Jason Clarke. Full Story
The incorruptible Coach Taylor
Leonardo DiCaprio continued to shoot The Wolf Of Wall Street yesterday in New York, this time on a yacht holding lobster claws surrounded by bikini girls and exchanging words with Kyle Chandler. Judging by Coach Taylor's working class suit, I'm guessing he's a cop, the adversary to Leo's excessive 80s trader-pimp. Full Story
Worst Goodbye – Coach Taylor
Alberto E. Rodriguez/John Shearer/Getty
I watched Moneyball on the weekend. I mean, it was fine. It was good. Brad Pitt is good. He's just doing a Coach Taylor impression, though. I don't want to say a Kyle Chandler impression, because I know Chandler can be other people than just Coach. But of course that's been the role he inhabited for us for so long, so completely. Full Story
Best of 2011: Coach wins... and forgets
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
I considered calling it "Best & Worst" but I'm not sure "worst" is the right word. And besides, to see Connie Britton's face when Kyle Chandler forgot to thank you - it was the kind of eyeroll reserved for a family member, the kind of eyeroll Tami Taylor gave Eric. A lot. Like, OF COURSE he'd forget me. Full Story
Worst Stomach Clench – Connie Britton
Written by Duana Warning: I get emotional in here. If it's not for you, no prob. Oh, you guys. Unbelievable. What a roller coaster ride if you're a Britton fan. Of course we all had no hope that they could sweep the four categories they were nominated in. Full Story
Best Emmy Fumble: Coach wins!
First it was Jason Katims for Writing... which... It's about F-CKING TIME!!!! What? You don't understand? Because you don't watch??? Well... I don't know what else I can say. It's been declared one of the best shows, if not THE best show, of ALL TIME. And Eric and Tami Taylor the most real marriage on television, like, EVER. Full Story
Bye Y'all
That's how Tami Taylor would say it, right? If you don't love Friday Night Lights, don't bother reading this article, UNLESS of course you want to meet the most authentic marriage in the history of television which, I know, sounds like an oxymoron but this is what they were able to achieve on FNL. Full Story
Coach and Super 8
It really bites my ass that I could only find very few photos of Kyle Chandler arriving at Letterman yesterday. Don't they know this is our coach? Apparently the paps didn't care. Maybe they'll change their minds this weekend. This weekend is all about Super 8. They're trying to make Super 8, brought to you by J. Full Story
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose

And it begins again
Written by Duana Season 5, Episode 8 Friday Night Lights returns, and yes, I saw the last shot (If you didn't, we'll get there). Yet I can't shake the feeling that there's a threat coming – something awful bearing down on us that I can't shake. Full Story
FNL: The Final Season – Part the First
Written by Duana Season 5, Episode 1 Spoilers abound below. If you are waiting for the spring broadcast, be warned. It shouldn't be any surprise to anyone who reads here often to learn that Friday Night Lights is precious. To me, so much so that I went to Austin to stalk the set last year (I don't know what's still standing, but if you want the chills this show provides over and over again, all it takes is going to stand in Herrmann field, where the Panthers play…), and such that the decision to recap this final season of the show was, sing it with me, bittersweet. Full Story
Best Man on the Best Show & FNL 2011
Mad Men won for Best Drama. Next year, in its final season, hopefully it will be Friday Night Lights. Next year, maybe Kyle Chandler and Jon Hamm can sit next to each other and make our lives. You know what the f-cking pisser is? At press time I can't find one, NOT ONE, photo of Kyle Chandler. Really? Is that how far down he is on the list? Who's managing this list. Full Story
Tami Taylor FINALLY gets some love
And Eric Taylor too. And Friday Night Lights. We're going into our final season and the TV Academy, at long last, has acknowledged one of the best shows, if not THE best show, of a generation. A show you aren't watching because you're too busy with those f-cking losers on The Bachelor. Full Story
FNL Emmy Campaign!
Written by Jacek If you read this site on even a casual basis, you know how much we love Friday Night Lights and that it's a shame it doesn't get more attention cause the Minivan loves sh-tty shows. Lainey's gone on about why the show is so great but I've never tossed in my two cents. Full Story

"Beating acne may be a matter of thyme," quipped the Daily Mail, adding that an extract of the herb could be more effective than benzoyl peroxide – a chemical found in many anti-acne creams and washes.
These claims are based on laboratory research that tested how well a range of plant extracts can kill the bacteria that cause acne. Most notably, researchers found that an alcohol-based thyme extract could kill the bacteria that caused acne in the laboratory, and at specific concentrations was more effective than benzoyl peroxide. The research has not yet been published but was presented at a conference, which means that few details of its methods and results are available yet. Therefore, the claims should be treated with some caution until they are checked out by experts, which will happen when the research papers are submitted to the full publication process.
While providing an eye-catching news story, there is a long way to go from the initial lab-based results of this study and proving thyme is better at fighting acne or is less harsh on the skin than existing treatments.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from Leeds Metropolitan University and presented at a Society for General Microbiology conference. The source of funding for this research wasn't reported in the conference abstract.
As a conference presentation abstract, this research hasn't been through the full peer-review process yet, as this usually takes place when research is published in journals (articles are reviewed for sense and validity by experts in the field to ensure they are of sufficient quality).
The story was covered by the Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and Metro. The Daily Mail story provided a good explanation of what was done in the study, but its headline, suggesting that herbal cream is better than existing treatments, was put more positively than is warranted by this early laboratory research. The Metro version of the story doesn't make it very clear that this research was done in the lab and not with humans.
What kind of research was this?
The researchers conducting this study said that acne remedies "currently preferred by herbalists" include thyme, marigold and myrrh tinctures, so they used extracts from these plants in the laboratory study. During the research, they looked at the effects these different herbal extracts had on the bacteria that cause acne. The researchers suggested that herbal extracts may have an application in acne treatment as they may be able to reduce "aggravation of the skin" due to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial qualities.
Research such as this may indicate that an extract has anti-bacterial properties in the lab, but any promising results would need further testing to see what concentrations of the substances are safe for use on human skin, and whether they can improve acne.
What did the research involve?
Few details of the methods used by the researchers were available from the conference abstract, which instead provided a summary.
In the lab, researchers compared thyme, marigold and myrrh tinctures against benzoyl peroxide – a chemical used in anti-acne creams. Tinctures are alcohol-based extracts from plants. The researchers grew the bacterium that causes acne – Propionibacterium acnes – in the laboratory for four days. They then added the tinctures, benzoyl peroxide or an alcohol solution to different samples of the bacteria. The alcohol was used to provide a control substance to compare the tinctures with, which would help to determine whether any effects produced by the tinctures were due to the plant-derived substances they contained or the alcohol used to make them. After five minutes the researchers looked at how much of the bacteria had been killed.
What were the basic results?
The researchers found that marigold, myrrh and thyme tinctures had a greater antibacterial effect than the control alcohol solution. The thyme tincture had the greatest effect, with a specific concentration of tincture reducing bacteria levels more than benzoyl peroxide did, with the latter at the highest concentration prescribed to patients.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that their study showed a strong antimicrobial effect against acne-causing bacteria in the lab, and that this suggests it may be useful as a treatment of acne.
From the brief details available, this laboratory study has shown that thyme extract can kill the bacteria that cause acne in the laboratory. However, as this research has only been presented as a conference abstract so far, the lack of detail means we can't tell much about its full methods and results. Given this lack of detail, as well as the fact that this was research on bacteria in a lab and not in humans, the results and their implications should be viewed with some caution.
The press release for the research says that "a herbal treatment for acne would be very welcome news" as "herbal preparations are less harsh on the skin due to their anti-inflammatory properties". However, this study has not looked at the effect of the tincture on human skin, so it is not possible to say yet whether it would be any more effective than existing acne creams, or be more tolerable for human skin at the concentration that kills bacteria. Furthermore, some herbs are known to cause skin rashes, so any potential harms from this tincture need to be fully investigated before use.
There is already a range of treatments available for people with acne, and some of these can be prescribed by your doctor in severe cases. Find out more about acne from NHS Choices.

Courtesy Riveridge Produce Inc.Grower liability related to workers climbing up and down ladders to prune trees and harvest fruit can be reduced while increasing productivity, based on initial Riveridge Produce field tests of this apple-picking platform from Phil Brown Welding Corp., Conklin, Mich.Considering the labor market, the time-sensitive nature of the work and test runs that show workers can harvest at least 20% more apples per shift when they use it, Phil Brown's sure there will be a market for his latest fabrication.
Brown, owner of Phil Brown's Welding Corp. in Conklin, Mich., has been working on his elevated apple-picking platform for about six years.
As the son of a fruit grower, Brown said he learned first-hand how difficult and dangerous orchard work can be, climbing up and down all day, reaching further than you should to minimize ladder repositioning.
Aside from the taxing, slow nature of the work, grower liability is an issue when workers use ladders, said Don Armock, chief executive officer of Sparta, Mich.-based Riveridge Produce Inc., which is testing the harvester.
"There is also something to be said for being the employer of choice with the labor situation as it is," Armock said.
As of mid-October, Brown's rig had been in use at Riveridge for about two weeks. Armock said it only took a few days for the crew to get used to it. Once they did he saw productivity immediately increase.
click image to zoomCoiurtesy Riveridge Produce Inc.With this prototype of a moving platform that raises and lowers, harvest workers can reach all of the apples on trees without using ladders, increasing productivity be at least 20% per shift. Phil Brown Welding Corp. plans to have a version commercially available for the 2014 season."A two-person team usually picks about 14 bins a day at about $18 per bin," Armock said. "With this machine that increases to at least 17 bins a day."
Separate tests ongoing at Michigan State University are checking fruit harvested from the rig for bruising and other issues. Brown said so far the researchers haven't found any problems. They are working with different apple varieties to determine if the platform can be used for more delicate fruit.
Armock is doing some of his own bruising research, as well as a storage test to make sure apples harvested from the platform don't develop problems after the fact. He said he hasn't seen any issues so far.
Industry interest is growing, Brown said. Another apple grower in Washington state is testing the harvesting rig and demonstrations at Riveridge orchards have already shown officials from Gerber Products Co. and Meijer Inc. how the rig can reduce the time required to get the apples off the trees and to their destinations.
In its current form, the rig is pulled by a tractor. Brown said he plans to design a self-propelled version also. He said he plans to have the platform available commercially for the 2014 season with a projected price of $100,000 for the platform alone and $150,000 for a self-propelled platform.

Travel systems include an infant car seat, a stroller and a car seat base all of which snap into place easily and conveniently for the parents of an infant. When traveling, the baby is safely and comfortably transported in his or her car seat fitted directly into the car seat base, which typically remains in the car. Upon arrival, the parents unsnap the car seat with sleeping baby and securely snap it into place in the stroller without waking the little one! BabyAge features such top rated travel systems as the Graco Quattro system, the Eddie Bauer Adventurer travel system and the Evenflo Aura Select travel system.
