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

Subject: Re: Geopolitical Weekly: Egypt and the Idealist-Realist Debate
in U.S. Foreign Policy
Well, Egypt is not and will never be Minnesota. Even were it to become
so, I am not sure that that would be a great improvement.
Levity aside, George's basic argument is unassailable. Nevertheless,
the key point is not the old, tired debate between idealists and
realists in Washington on the one hand, and between Islamists and
secularists in Cairo and elsewhere on the other. Both debates are now
stale, long preceding as they do the current calendar year. In the Arab
world, what has been strikingly new in 2011 has been the fact that among
autocrats, militaries, and "publics" generally, it is now understood
that the old rules and comfortable assumptions no longer apply. In
fact, the "barrier of fear" has been broken, and nothing will ever be
quite the same again. That of course does not necessarily mean that
particular autocrats or political factions will in any way change their
modus operandi, certainly in the short term. BUT a new reality has
now come into being in the Arab East, one which will not be erased even
if no Jeffersonian democracy sprouts anywhere (which of course is the
most likely scenario). In other words, this is not an Arab 1848, but
something of considerably greater significance. The West may indeed not
like the result, in particular countries, especially in the short term.
(But so far, Tunisia at least has done surprisingly well). What is very
clear is that the egg has been broken, and no amount of dour Western
realism or optimistic idealism will impact larger events on the ground
(do not expect NATO to launch another Libyan operation).
Finally: the Arab spring is only "new" in the context of recent
decades. If one takes the perspective of a century, one discovers that
parliamentary "democracies" functioned passably well in Egypt, Iraq, and
elsewhere for many years. Not long ago I completed a lengthy critical
Introduction to the Memoirs (now translated for the first time into
English) of a distinguished Iraqi Sunni statesman by the name of Towfiq
al-Suwaidi. Al-Suwaidi was a prominent liberal in Iraqi politics from
the late 1920's until the Revolution of 1958. (George played Godfather
to this project). A book on al-Suwaidi is now under discussion. The
timing, some believe, is fortuitous.

Egypt and the Idealist-Realist Debate in U.S. Foreign Policy
By George Friedman | December 6, 2011
The first round of Egyptian parliamentary elections has taken place,
and the winners were two Islamist parties. The Islamists themselves
are split between more extreme and more moderate factions, but it is
clear that the secularists who dominated the demonstrations and who
were the focus of the Arab Spring narrative made a poor showing. Of
the three broad power blocs in Egypt * the military, the Islamists and
the secular democrats * the last proved the weakest.
It is far from clear what will happen in Egypt now. The military
remains unified and powerful, and it is unclear how much actual power
it is prepared to cede or whether it will be forced to cede it. What
is clear is that the faction championed by Western governments and the
media will now have to accept the Islamist agenda, back the military
or fade into irrelevance. Read more >>

During festivals and occasions of worship in India, women often wear temple jewelry, believed to be auspicious and to attract good fortune. The most revered designs found on temple jewelry pendants depict the beloved Hindu deities.
The elephant-headed god Ganesha, is known to remove obstacles and bestow good luck and fortune and symbolizes new beginnings. Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual who also represents wisdom, fortune, generosity and courage. She is also thought to be the embodiment of beauty and grace. In some forms of Hindu, Buddha is one of the 10 prominent "Avatars" or superior beings of Vishnu, the supreme god and preserver of the universe. Buddha represents the compassionate heart and universal truth. The hands of lovers Krishna and Radha symbolize eternal love and are typically worn by lovers.
For over 5000 years temple jewelry has been an integral part of Indian culture, practice and style. However, what was once traditionally worn exclusively during times of worship, these intricate and unique pieces are often worn year around.
Bulky items such as furniture and rugs cost more to ship due to greater size and weight. Therefore, a delivery surcharge will be billed in addition to the standard shipping charge.
Surcharge amounts vary. The surcharge amount is noted on each product detail page.

Fab Dress
I loved this dress online and loved it more in person! The color is accurate as well as the fit. The material does a good job of holding you in as well. The one negative is that after wearing it to a birthday dinner I noticed the back side of the dress (where I sat) looked as if I rubbed velcro on it or something to distress the material a bit :(. this was disappointing it shows that the quality is not great however, still a great dress, just not sure how much use I can get out of it before it looks too bad.

Love this Bodycon dress!

Headlines in late August shouted that students were so unhappy with new school lunches during the last year that some school districts are quitting the federal school lunch program.
However, negative press highlighting those few schools doesn't tell the story of the many school districts who have successfully implemented updated nutrition standards, nutrition advocates and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials said Aug. 28.
Headlined "Some School Districts Quit Healthier Lunch Program," an Aug. 27 Associated Press story said claimed so many students shunned the more nutritious lunches that the school cafeterias were losing money, leading some districts to drop the program.
Updated nutrition standards were implemented in fall 2012, mandating schools serve more fruits and vegetables in school meals. The story, citing dropout school districts in Illinois and New York, was featured on The Drudge Report, The Washington Post online and other news media.
"The truth is that the vast majority of schools across the country are meeting the updated meal standards successfully, which is so important to help all our nation's children lead healthier lives," Janey Thornton, U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services said in a Aug. 28 blog post.
Thornton, providing links to success stories from across the U.S., said schools that adopted the changes earlier report participation increased as students and parents became accustomed to the healthier options.
Schools that have implemented the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program or have put in salad bars in their cafeterias typically have had a much easier transition into new meal standards, according to Lorelei DiSogra, vice president of nutrition and health for the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C.
DiSogra said an Arkansas school official said to her that elementary schools in that state that have had the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program had an easy time in implementing new school lunch nutrition regulations.
"Those schools that were already focused in one way or another about getting kids to try more fruits and vegetables, and were beginning to make those changes — those schools had no problems," she said.
Kids exposed to fruits and vegetables for several years through the snack program were very receptive to more fruits and vegetables served in school lunches, she said.

If that is who you think he is it must who you think he is........whoever that might be.......
If you thought it was Josh Hutcherson then you are correct. This former child star dyed his hair blonde and beefed up to play the role of Peeta in The Hunger Games. Although he is still acting in mostly family/fantasy films I think The Hunger games really marks his segue out of child stardom. He has played in a few movies with more serious tones before but none of them received much attention. The Hunger Games is his first major feature where he's truly been able to shake off the image of that little boy in Zathura.

Toyota Sienna Lease Questions
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi shapiro23. Toyota's lease program varies by region. You never mentioned what state you are in, so for now I will provide you with what I believe is this van's most common program.
Toyota is not currently providing lease support on any '11 Sienna except for the LE. As a result, if you were to lease a 2011 Sienna XLE AWD through Toyota Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. Its current buy rate standard lease money factor is .00235 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
Toyota Financial Services' current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value for a 2011 Sienna XLE AWD is 57%. The problem with this residual is that TFS publishes resids for base models. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized. This makes its real world residuals lower than its published percentages appear. It also makes it difficult for individual consumers to calculate sample payments on their own.

Looking for resid/mf on '11 LTD FWD. in central NJ. Prefer veh/ with nav and no DVD ( but willing to consder one with if deal is good ) Our '08 of coming off lease within next 6 weeks, so have started looking. our local dealer quoted us ~ 650/mo x 36 mo w/ 2 k down. Not too inspiring. Currently the only "incentive" is 2 yr schedule maintence. ( exp 10/4 ) IYO, will the rollout of the ODDY make the deals a bit more sweeter? May consider purchase of the deal is right..Also, any suggetions for shopping on 9/30? TIA -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi fishdad. The LE is the only trim level of the Sienna that Toyota is providing lease support on right now. If you want to lease an '11 Sienna Limited FWD through Toyota Financial Services right now, you will have to use its standard lease money factor. The last time that I checked, TFS' current buy rate standard factor was .00235 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
It's difficult to say what Toyota's October incentives for the Sienna will look like at this point. There certainly is a chance that they will be more aggressive than Toyota's relatively weak current program, but we won't know for certain until next week.

jackdelia4u Posts: 26Hi..can anyone tell me if the current lease deal Toyota is offering on the 2011 Sienna LE is a good deal or can it be negotiated down?

nosferoitu Posts: 2Hi Barry,
Im in So. CA and signed a 36 month lease on a 2011 Sienna XLE with Navigation for 573 per month. This includes sales tax and title.
The terms were 33,038 cap cost, 19,925 residual, 0.00220 money factor and 12,000 allowable annual mileage. To have 15,000 annually it would have costed 20 more per month.
We called around many dealers and most were willing to budge on the terms.
What do you guys think of the money factor? Effective rate is 5.28% -
kevinkaye Posts: 2I apologize as I dont have all the figures but do have the ones that mean the most to me. 2011 XLE with Dual Screen Ent system for zero down. All I would have to pay is first month and the basic fees. total was about $600-$700. 39 month lease with a payment of 440 including tax for 12k and 457 including tax for 15k.

baraynavab Posts: 2Ok here's what I got. Although I dont have all the small numbers..I guess i can get that if anyone needs that
I got 2011 XLE with dual dvd screen NO nav or anything else. Did have Toyota Guard if that an optional feature some place else.
So I walked out with $350 @ $3000 down with first month included in that. I dont know if thats the best deal but its not to shabby I think.
BTW i am in Atlanta GA region. Got the car from World Toyota on Peachtree Industrial off 285. I had to haggle this price down as they were giving me offers for $375 - 390. I actually was walking out b/c of the long sales pitches and all. But i didnt budge. You really have to haggle with these guys.
I also have a buddy of mine get a $340 for ($2840) which was a way better deal. But aah i need the car.
Thanks -

I like certain parts of this show. The 'town hall' meetings and the scenery of the locations are good. But -- all the tramping around the 'hot locations' with a camera crew searching for proof of "Squatches" .... not so good. The only person I know of that went out actually trying to film a Bigfoot was Roger Patterson; and it is still debated for about 40 years as to whether he did indeed capture a Bigfoot on his film.

Those who try to make their life secure will lose it, but those who lose their life will keep it. -Luke 17:33 (NRSV)
I was raised by a wonderful woman of faith: my mother. Over the past 24 hours I have been thinking about the UMC and the hot topic of guaranteed appointments after the Judicial Council ruled against their elimination. I keep thinking about what my mother would say which would be something to this effect: The devil is great at distracting us from Kingdom work.
Now, mom and I have some differing opinions on the existence of the devil, etc. but man do I wish I could agree with her that this is something the "devil" did. It would be easier for me to deal with if I could blame it on the devil. Unfortunately, the fact is we have no one to blame but ourselves for this distraction. We are getting pretty good at it might I say. If it isn't guaranteed appointments and ineffective clergy then it is something else, right? We keep bouncing from symptom to symptom to try and figure out what is wrong so we can save the UMC.
Are we so arrogant as to think that God needs us? Why are we so focused on keeping the life of the UMC going? I mean it seems to me the more that we are focusing on ourselves and our existence as a denomination the more and more we end up being ineffective for the Kingdom of God.
I probably sound pretty negative so far (whoops), but the truth is I love the UMC and it is the place where I found my spiritual home. However, I remember when I became United Methodist and it wasn't because of an "effective clergy person" and it wasn't even because of an abundance of "small groups" or "vibrant worship" offered at my local congregation. No the reason I became United Methodist is because my local church pointed beyond itself to God. (at least in my naive 8th grade eyes of experience) My experience was of a church which pointed beyond itself to something bigger. But now I have to wonder, how often are we pointing to something bigger than the UMC (i.e. The Kingdom of God) and how often are pointing at ourselves?
The devil has gone and done it, like a great "shell game" con we have been duped into focusing on the wrong stuff. Well that is if the devil did do it, unfortunately I think the blame lies square on the person looking back at us in the mirror. (yeah even me)

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

Subject: G3/B3* - US/CANADA/GV - Harper believes planned oil pipeline to
Texas still has U.S. support (11/4/11)
Canada's PM says oil pipeline still has U.S. support
CANNES, France | Fri Nov 4, 2011 4:08pm EDT
CANNES, France (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said on
Friday he sees overwhelming U.S. support for TransCanada Corp's Keystone
XL oil pipeline to Texas from Canada's oil sands, despite recent signs of
reticence in Washington.
Harper, who was in France for the G20 summit, said he did not interpret
U.S. President Barack Obama's remarks this week as pointing to a rejection
of the $7 billion pipeline proposal, which is opposed by environmental
"I read the President's comments. I thought on balance they were
noncommittal and he indicated he had yet to make a decision and we respect
that," Harper said.
Obama told a Nebraska television station that he would make the final call
on approving the pipeline based on economic and health criteria.
Previously, it was believed that the responsibility for making the
decision had rested with the State Department. Meanwhile, the State
Department said its own process could slip past its year-end deadline.
"(The pipeline) has, notwithstanding opposition in some circles, if you
look at the range of business and labor and state interests, overwhelming
support," Harper said. "It's a project that not only will create a vast
number of jobs in both our countries but is essential to American energy
Harper and his government have lobbied intensely in support of the
project, which would connect refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast with
Alberta's oil sands.
Canada's oil industry says the pipeline will bolster U.S. energy security
by providing a stable source of oil from a friendly neighbor.
Environmental groups, some U.S. politicians and numerous celebrities, say
the project will delay the shift to a green economy and increase the risk
of oil spills in environmentally sensitive areas such as the Ogallala
aquifer in the central states.

Crazy-Affordable Ski Gear
Ski wear is typically expensive, which especially sucks because you have to buy a lot of it: puffer jackets, long underwear, sweaters, goggles, hats, etc. Brands want to convince you that the stuff is costly for a reason—freshly-patented fabrics, high-tech innovations tested on Eskimos—seducing people (read: me) into thinking it's necessary to buy a $300 jacket, $45 gloves and $80 thermal long underwear bottoms unless they want to freeze, because that's just what you do. It's an expensive hobby. Deal with it.
Except, like, no. I'm going skiing next week (casual brag to make you jealous of my vacation after a vacation), and with Fashion Week coming up in February, I need to watch my budget. I don't want to blow all my holiday money on clothes I can't wear in real life. (Those trumpet skirts and wedge sneakers aren't going to buy themselves, you know?) So I'll be buying the ski wear in the slideshow below instead of making myself a mountain of debt before I hit the slopes. From brands like Smith, The North Face and Woolrich, this ski gear's certainly great quality—just pleasantly discounted. (I'll celebrate with an après ski hot toddy.)

Hedges are excellent features which can provide additional privacy, a great habitat for birds or other wildlife and a tidy border for your garden. Most hedges are not especially high maintenance, but do require a trim every now and then to prevent them losing their shape or casting unwanted shade.

Practicing for nearly 20 years, I have come across a number of challenges facing people from all walks of life. Emotions can affect everything from mental illness to mental health maintenance to coaching and training. I can assuredly say that there is an emotional component to everything we do, feel, hear, say and experience. Weight loss is no different.
I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Sandra Scheindaum, PhD, about her work with clients seeking to lose weight. The first thing Sandra said was that effective weight loss involves a lifestyle change and is often dependent on an individual's emotional life. I was surprised, to say the least. Quickly, I asked her if a lifestyle change was reasonable for today's society. She clarified that one's ability to commit to a lifestyle change is based upon the level of pain (medical or emotional) that a person is experiencing. So, depending on one's sense of urgency, baby steps may be more appropriate for weight loss.
Below are some tips that Dr. Scheindaum offers for individuals looking to say good-bye to the weight loss blues:
1. Food as medicine. Take out the bad stuff and replace it with something good. Replace that ice cream cone with an apple!
2. Find joy and meaningful connections. Stress and lack of sleep accumulates belly fat – so calm down and catch some Z's.
3. Find exercise that you actually enjoy. This supports total mind-body health. Research has shown exercise to be as powerful as antidepressants.
4. Change your thoughts. Think about things from a more realistic perspective and reassess situations that cause you to have extreme emotional responses. Meditate and relax.
Good Luck!

Unlike other "control tops" that claim to control (but fake it by just using darker threads up top), our tights powerfully shape, are really comfortable and have smart features like rounded toes and super soft yarns that won't sag in the crotch. Our innovations stretch from reversible tights you can wear two ways, to slimming sheers and stylish shaping leggings.

Let the evidence speak for itself. Fraternal Truth is an interactive display of facts, figures, stories and events taking place in fraternities and sororities.
What does this evidence say about who we are? About our central purpose? And who defines the truth? That's for you to decide.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and monitor sarcoidosis; to help differentiate this systemic condition from other disorders causing similar symptoms
When to Get Tested?
When you have granulomas that create small bumps under the skin, a lingering cough, red watery eyes, and/or other symptoms suggestive of sarcoidosis; regularly when you have active sarcoidosis to monitor its course
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the blood. ACE is an enzyme that helps regulate blood pressure. It assists in the conversion of angiotensin I (an inactive protein) to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II functions as a strong vasopressor; it causes arteries to contract, making them temporarily narrower and increasing the pressure of the blood flowing through them. ACE is produced throughout the body, but is especially concentrated in the lungs.
Increased amounts of ACE are sometimes secreted by cells found at the outside borders of granulomas. Granulomas are small tumor-like masses of immune and inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue that create bumps under the skin and throughout the body. They are a classic feature of sarcoidosis, a systemic disorder of unknown cause that often affects the lungs but may also affect many other body organs, including the eyes, skin, nerves, liver, and heart. ACE blood levels frequently increase when sarcoidosis-related granulomas develop.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.

SFI / NMC Program on Combining Information Theory and Game Theory
Organizers: David Wolpert (SFI External Faculty), Simon DeDeo (SFI Omidyar Fellow), Nils Bertschinger (Max Planck), Eckehard Olbrich (Max Planck), Eric Smith (SFI External Faculty), Luis Bettencourt (SFI)
How a single agent (human, firm, animal, etc.) behaves typically depends on what information it has about its environment, and on its preferences. Accordingly, the joint behavior of multiple interacting agents can depend strongly on the information available to the separate agents, both about one another, and about external random variables. Precisely how the joint behavior depends on the information available to the agents is determined by the preferences of those agents. So in general there is a strong interplay among the preferences of all the agents, their behavior, and the information structure connecting them.
One tool that might help us understand this interplay is Shannon information theory. In Shannon information theory, information is a function of a distribution. Increasing the amount of information in a distribution means making that distribution more tightly concentrated. This definition applies not only if the support of the distribution shrinks or expands, but also if it moves.
Another tool that might help us understand the interplay is game theory. In contrast to Shannon information theory, game theory does not quantify information in terms of properties of probability distributions. Rather the information available to a player is quantified as an "information set," specifying a set of states the world might be in. The amount of information available to a player increases if such an information set shrinks. In contrast to the case with Shannon information theory, the change in information for moving an information set is undefined.
There are other differences between information theory and game theory. For example, whereas the foundations of Shannon information theory concern a single player (the designer of a communication network), the foundations of game theory concern multiple players.
Reconciling the different perspectives on information in Shannon information theory and game theory could have many benefits. Most directly, it may help us understand the interplay among the preferences of a set of interacting players, their behavior, and the information structure connecting them. As potential examples, it might help us address issues like the following:
1. How do information theoretic quantifications of the joint behavior of a set of interacting players (e.g., mutual information between actions of pairs of them) vary with changes to the preferences of those players?
2. Can relating the philosophical foundations of the two fields improve them? For example, as Shannon himself emphasized, Shannon information is purely "syntactic," quantifying the amount of information in a distribution purely by how concentrated it is. Can the utility functions of game theory—which depend not just on how concentrated a distribution is, but also on where it is concentrated—be used to define a "semantic" variant of Shannon information?
3. Can relating the mathematical formalisms of the two fields improve them? For example, are there analogs of the powerful theorems of information theory for game-theoretic quantities, e.g., game theoretic versions of results concerning rate distortion tradeoffs, the data processing inequality, etc.?
More generally, greater understanding of the relation between information theory and game theory may generate breakthroughs in many disciplines, including economics, political science, cognitive sciences and artificial intelligence.

Held at 1110 W 5th Street, Suite 300, Austin, TX
Venue: Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, NM
Summary: Technological change is a key component of economic growth. However, economists' treatment of this is typically at an aggregate level, in which technology is represented merely as a single number called the "total factor productivity". This workshop will bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines to make first steps toward constructing a theory of technological change. The discussions will focus on understanding ecosystems of interacting technologies and the factors that cause them to evolve through time. Please join this foremost group of experts, economists, biologists, applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers, archaeologists, and anthropologists for a one-day event in Santa Fe.
The workshop is supported by the Santa Fe Institute, the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Venue: Towers Watson, London, UK
Co-hosted by Towers Watson
Summary: Business enterprises in general, and the modern corporation in particular, have become increasingly important elements in modern life and society. This topical meeting will address the historical origins of the modern corporation, the evolutionary nature of the firm, the impact of increasing globalization, the life cycle of the modern corporation, the implications of the "corporations are persons" doctrine in US law, and the relationship between corporations and other major social institutions such as cities.

This will be my gaming groups first time going down to one of these FFG events. I was just wondering when we get the tickets will they also send us some more information about the time it starts and ends for each day? We have a two and half hour drive, so we want to make sure we are not going to be late.
First time going to FFG event
Posted 17 April 2012 - 04:50 AM
Posted 17 April 2012 - 09:40 AM
Where are you heading down from?
I'm up in Northwest MN. They will release a schedule a bit closer to the event if I recall from previous years - so you'll be able to plan your timing from that. They are fun events!
As for getting tickets... ummm... I don't think either of the "sold out"??
Posted 17 April 2012 - 03:58 PM
My group is based out of the Duluth area. Thank you for the info, and we already bought our tickets right away. Now we have a second question if you could help us. Some of our members will not be able to be there for all three days, so is it OK if they show up just on Sunday and still get their gift bad and all? They just doesn't want to lose his spot to anyone else before Sunday.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 02:32 PM
If you are pre-registered, you'll get your goodie bag when you attend. Last year my wife and I went to Arkham Nights, but we could only make it on Sunday. They still had our bags set aside for us, so not to worry.

Thank you very much.

Dear Editor,
County Coroner Emma Hall finally released the office's annual reports for 2011 and 2012 this month, both delayed, she said, because of antiquated and sometimes inaccurate computer systems. That sounded more like an excuse than a reason to me.
It turns out there was a 100 per cent turnover in the staff after she took over the office, and then there was a 35 per cent turnover of the new hires. That may have had more to do with

The Jewish nation supplicating the Divine favour.
Verses 1-16 Is any afflicted? Let him pray; and let him in prayer pour out his complaint to God. The people of God do so here; they complain not of evils feared, but of evils felt. If penitent and patient under what we suffer for the sins of our fathers, we may expect that He who punishes, will return in mercy to us. They acknowledge, Woe unto us that we have sinned! All our woes are owing to our own sin and folly. Though our sins and God's just displeasure cause our sufferings, we may hope in his pardoning mercy, his sanctifying grace, and his kind providence. But the sins of a man's whole life will be punished with vengeance at last, unless he obtains an interest in Him who bare our sins in his own body on the tree.
Verses 17-22 The people of God express deep concern for the ruins of the temple, more than for any other of their calamities. But whatever changes there are on earth, God is still the same, and remains for ever wise and holy, just and good; with Him there is no variableness nor shadow of turning. They earnestly pray to God for mercy and grace; Turn us to thee, O Lord. God never leaves any till they first leave him; if he turns them to him in a way of duty, no doubt he will quickly return to them in a way of mercy. If God by his grace renew our hearts, he will by his favour renew our days. Troubles may cause our hearts to be faint, and our eyes to be dim, but the way to the mercy-seat of our reconciled God is open. Let us, in all our trials, put our whole trust and confidence in his mercy; let us confess our sins, and pour out our hearts before him. Let us watch against repinings and despondency; for we surely know, that it shall be well in the end with all that trust in, fear, love, and serve the Lord. Are not the Lord's judgments in the earth the same as in Jeremiah's days? Let Zion then be remembered by us in our prayers, and her welfare be sought above every earthly joy. Spare, Lord, spare thy people, and give not thine heritage to reproach, for the heathen to rule over them.
Lamentations 5:1-22 . EPIPHONEMA, OR A CLOSING RECAPITULATION OF THE CALAMITIES TREATED IN THE PREVIOUS ELEGIES.
1. ( Psalms 89:50 Psalms 89:51 ).
2. Our inheritance--"Thine inheritance" ( Psalms 79:1 ). The land given of old to us by Thy gift.
3. fatherless--Our whole land is full of orphans [CALVIN]. Or, "we are fatherless," being abandoned by Thee our "Father" ( Jeremiah 3:19 ), [GROTIUS].
4. water for money--The Jews were compelled to pay the enemy for the water of their own cisterns after the overthrow of Jerusalem; or rather, it refers to their sojourn in Babylon; they had to pay tax for access to the rivers and fountains. Thus, "our" means the water which we need, the commonest necessary of life.
our wood--In Judea each one could get wood without pay; in Babylon, "our wood," the wood we need, must be paid for.
5. Literally, "On our necks we are persecuted"; that is, Men tread on our necks ( Psalms 66:12 , Isaiah 51:23 ; compare Joshua 10:24 ). The extremest oppression. The foe not merely galled the Jews face, back, and sides, but their neck. A just retribution, as they had been stiff in neck against the yoke of God ( 2 Chronicles 30:8 , Margin; Nehemiah 9:29 , Isaiah 48:4 ).
6. given . . . hand to--in token of submission
to . . . Egyptians--at the death of Josiah ( 2 Chronicles 36:3 2 Chronicles 36:4 ).
Assyrians--that is, the Chaldeans who occupied the empire which Assyria had held. So Jeremiah 2:18 .
to be satisfied with bread--( Deuteronomy 28:48 ).
7. ( Jeremiah 31:29 ).
borne their iniquities--that is, the punishment of them. The accumulated sins of our fathers from age to age, as well as our own, are visited on us. They say this as a plea why God should pity them (compare Ezekiel 18:2 , &c.).
8. Servants . . . ruled . . . us--Servants under the Chaldean governors ruled the Jews ( Nehemiah 5:15 ). Israel, once a "kingdom of priests" ( Exodus 19:6 ), is become like Canaan, "a servant of servants," according to the curse ( Genesis 9:25 ). The Chaldeans were designed to be "servants" of Shem, being descended from Ham ( Genesis 9:26 ). Now through the Jews' sin, their positions are reversed.
9. We gat our bread with . . . peril--that is, those of us left in the city after its capture by the Chaldeans.
because of . . . sword of . . . wilderness--because of the liability to attack by the robber Arabs of the wilderness, through which the Jews had to pass to get "bread" from Egypt (compare Lamentations 5:6 ).
10. As an oven is scorched with too much fire, so our skin with the hot blast of famine (Margin, rightly, "storms," like the hot simoom). Hunger dries up the pores so that the skin becomes like as if it were scorched by the sun ( Job 30:30 , Psalms 119:83 ).
11. So in just retribution Babylon itself should fare in the end. Jerusalem shall for the last time suffer these woes before her final restoration ( Zechariah 14:2 ).
12. hanged . . . by their hand--a piece of wanton cruelty invented by the Chaldeans. GROTIUS translates, "Princes were hung by the hand of the enemy"; hanging was a usual mode of execution ( Genesis 40:19 ).
elders--officials ( Lamentations 4:16 ).
13. young men . . . grind--The work of the lowest female slave was laid on young men ( Judges 16:21 , Job 31:10 ).
children fell under . . . wood--Mere children had to bear burdens of wood so heavy that they sank beneath them.
14. Aged men in the East meet in the open space round the gate to decide judicial trials and to hold social converse ( Job 29:7 Job 29:8 ).
16. The crown--all our glory, the kingdom and the priesthood ( Job 19:9 , Psalms 89:39 Psalms 89:44 ).
17. ( Lamentations 1:22 , 2:11 ).
18. foxes--They frequent desolate places where they can freely and fearlessly roam.
19. ( Psalms 102:12 ). The perpetuity of God's rule over human affairs, however He may seem to let His people be oppressed for a time, is their ground of hope of restoration.
20. for ever--that is, for "so long a time."
21. ( Psalms 80:3 , Jeremiah 31:18 ). "Restore us to favor with Thee, and so we shall be restored to our old position" [GROTIUS]. Jeremiah is not speaking of spiritual conversion, but of that outward turning whereby God receives men into His fatherly favor, manifested in bestowing prosperity [CALVIN]. Still, as Israel is a type of the Church, temporal goods typify spiritual blessings; and so the sinner may use this prayer for God to convert him.
22. Rather, "Unless haply Thou hast utterly rejected us, and art beyond measure wroth against us," that is, Unless Thou art implacable, which is impossible, hear our prayer [CALVIN]. Or, as Margin, "For wouldest Thou utterly reject us?" &c.--No; that cannot be. The Jews, in this book, and in Isaiah and Malachi, to avoid the ill-omen of a mournful closing sentence, repeat the verse immediately preceding the last [CALVIN].

I'm still not over the fact that Morningstar Farms Veggie Dogs Review have been discontinued (thankfully at least the Morningstar Farms Corn Dogs are back). In the search for a vegetarian replacement, I decided to try Veggie Patch Veggie Dogs.
The look reminds me of Quorn Meat Free Dogs, i.e. long and slender, but they taste much better (and have half as much sodium). With all the fixins' these dogs are okay, but they're not juicy or particularly tasty on their own (slightly cardboardy) - I made these on the stove-top, so maybe they taste better grilled (I certainly hope so). For a meat-eater, these aren't going to do it for you - in fact, Ball Park Fat Free Beef Franks has less calories (50 calories per 50 gram dog) and are mighty tasty. But if you don't eat meat, then these will do ... but only just.
Each serving of 2 Veggie Patch Veggie Dogs provides 170 calories, 11 grams of total fat, 1.5 grams of which is saturated fat (17% and 8% of the daily value), 560 mg of sodium (23% of the DV), 1 gram of fiber, 2 grams of sugars and 13 grams of protein.
The ingredients list is quite lengthy and starts with textured vegetable protein. A pack of 8 costs $3.99 at my local grocery store, but I received samples from the company to review. I dare say that this is not something I will be buying for myself in the future, but only because I'm a meat-eater.
Any recommendations for favorite brand of veggie dogs?

RIP Philip Hughes - 1988-2014
he made the best black jack play ever seen when he was gassed at the crown cas after aus lost the boxing day test to england a couple of years ago.
damn he's tapping that?
I heard from a reliable source that he has agreed to make a cameo in a porno. He doesn't participate in any sex scenes but he delivers a pizza to a frat house.

That is all that is available for the U.S. Reelz is releasing it to VOD as they show it. It has all been shown in Canada but not yet here.
I haven't been following the series much since it is in SD on the channel itself. But it seems like they are at 'part 3', but I find no mention of parts earlier than that. Is 'part 3' the 5th episode?
Of course, D* could just light up Reelz in HD and we wouldn't have to have this discussion!
