Woes against proud oppressors. (1-4) The Assyrian but an instrument in the hand of God for the punishment of his people. (5-19) The deliverance from him. (20-34)
Verses 1-4 These verses are to be joined with the foregoing chapter. Woe to the superior powers that devise and decree unrighteous decrees! And woe to the inferior officers that draw them up, and enter them on record! But what will sinners do? Whither will they flee?
Verses 5-19 See what a change sin made. The king of Assyria, in his pride, thought to act by his own will. The tyrants of the world are tools of Providence. God designs to correct his people for their hypocrisy, and bring them nearer to him; but is that Sennacherib's design? No; he designs to gratify his own covetousness and ambition. The Assyrian boasts what great things he has done to other nations, by his own policy and power. He knows not that it is God who makes him what he is, and puts the staff into his hand. He had done all this with ease; none moved the wing, or cried as birds do when their nests are rifled. Because he conquered Samaria, he thinks Jerusalem would fall of course. It was lamentable that Jerusalem should have set up graven images, and we cannot wonder that she was excelled in them by the heathen. But is it not equally foolish for Christians to emulate the people of the world in vanities, instead of keeping to things which are their special honour? For a tool to boast, or to strive against him that formed it, would not be more out of the way, than for Sennacherib to vaunt himself against Jehovah. When God brings his people into trouble, it is to bring sin to their remembrance, and humble them, and to awaken them to a sense of their duty; this must be the fruit, even the taking away of sin. When these points are gained by the affliction, it shall be removed in mercy. This attempt upon Zion and Jerusalem should come to nothing. God will be as a fire to consume the workers of iniquity, both soul and body. The desolation should be as when a standard-bearer fainteth, and those who follow are put to confusion. Who is able to stand before this great and holy Lord God?
Verses 20-34 By our afflictions we may learn not to make creatures our confidence. Those only can with comfort stay upon God, who return to him in truth, not in pretence and profession only. God will justly bring this wasting away on a provoking people, but will graciously set bounds to it. It is against the mind and will of God, that his people, whatever happens, should give way to fear. God's anger against his people is but for a moment; and when that is turned from us, we need not fear the fury of man. The rod with which he corrected his people, shall not only be laid aside, but thrown into the fire. To encourage God's people, the prophet puts them in mind of what God had formerly done against the enemies of his church. God's people shall be delivered from the Assyrians. Some think it looks to the deliverance of the Jews out of their captivity; and further yet, to the redemption of believers from the tyranny of sin and Satan. And this, "because of the anointing;" for his people Israel's sake, the believers among them that had received the unction of Divine grace. And for the sake of the Messiah, the Anointed of God. Here is, ver. ( 28-34 ) , a prophetical description of Sennacherib's march towards Jerusalem, when he threatened to destroy that city. Then the Lord, in whom Hezekiah trusted, cut down his army like the hewing of a forest. Let us apply what is here written, to like matters in other ages of the church of Christ. Because of the anointing of our great Redeemer, the yoke of every antichrist must be broken from off his church: and if our souls partake of the unction of the Holy Spirit, complete and eternal deliverances will be secured to us.
Isaiah 10:1-4 . Fourth strophe.
1. them that decree--namely, unrighteous judges.
write grievousness, &c.--not the scribes, but the magistrates who caused unjust decisions (literally, "injustice" or "grievousness") to be recorded by them ( Isaiah 65:6 ) [MAURER], ( Isaiah 1:10 Isaiah 1:23 ).
2. To turn aside, &c.--The effect of their conduct is to pervert the cause of the needy [HORSLEY]. In English Version "from judgment" means "from obtaining justice."
take away the right--"make plunder of the right" (rightful claim) [HORSLEY].
3. what will ye do--what way of escape will there be for you?
visitation--of God's wrath ( Isaiah 26:14 , Job 35:15 , Hosea 9:7 ).
from far--from Assyria.
leave . . . glory--rather, "deposit (for safekeeping) your wealth" [LOWTH]. So Psalms 49:17 .
4. Without me--not having Me to "flee to" ( Isaiah 10:3 ).
bow down--Bereft of strength they shall fall; or else, they shall lie down fettered.
under . . . under--rather, "among" (literally, "in the place of") [HORSLEY]. The "under" may be, however, explained, "trodden under the (feet of the) prisoners going into captivity," and "overwhelmed under the heaps of slain on the battlefield" [MAURER].
Isaiah 10:5-32 and Isaiah 11:12 . DESTRUCTION OF THE ASSYRIANS; COMING OF MESSIAH; HYMN OF PRAISE.
Isaiah 10:9 Isaiah 10:11 show that Samaria was destroyed before this prophecy. It was written when Assyria proposed (a design which it soon after tried to carry out under Sennacherib) to destroy Judah and Jerusalem, as it had destroyed Samaria. This is the first part of Isaiah's prophecies under Hezekiah. Probably between 722 and 715 B.C. (see Isaiah 10:27 ).
5. O Assyrian, &c.--rather, "What, ho (but MAURER, Woe to the) Assyrian! He is the rod and staff of Mine anger (My instrument in punishing, Jeremiah 51:20 , Psalms 17:13 ). In their hands is Mine indignation" [HORSLEY, after JEROME]. I have put into the Assyrians' hands the execution of Mine indignation against My people.
6. send him--"Kings' hearts are in the hand of the Lord" ( Proverbs 21:1 ).
hypocritical--polluted [HORSLEY].
nation--Judah, against whom Sennacherib was forming designs.
of my wrath--objects of My wrath.
give . . . charge--( Jeremiah 34:22 ).
and to tread, &c.--HORSLEY translates: "And then to make him (the Assyrian) a trampling under foot like the mire of the streets" (so Isaiah 10:12 , Isaiah 33:1 , Zechariah 10:5 ). But see Isaiah 37:26 .
7. meaneth not so--He is only thinking of his own schemes, while God is overruling them to His purposes.
think--intend. Sinners plans are no less culpable, though they by them unconsciously fulfil God's designs ( Psalms 76:10 , Micah 4:12 ). So Joseph's brethren ( Genesis 50:20 , Proverbs 16:4 ). The sinner's motive, not the result (which depends on God), will be the test in judgment.
heart to destroy . . . not a few--Sennacherib's ambition was not confined to Juries. His plan was also to conquer Egypt and Ethiopia ( Isaiah 20:1-6 , Zechariah 1:15 ).
8-11. Vauntings of the Assyrians. Illustrated by the self-laudatory inscriptions of Assyria deciphered by HINCKS.
princes . . . kings--Eastern satraps and governors of provinces often had the title and diadem of kings. Hence the title, "King of kings," implying the greatness of Him who was over them ( Ezekiel 26:7 , Ezra 7:12 ).
9. Is not . . . as--Was there any one of these cities able to withstand me? Not one. So Rab-shakeh vaunts ( Isaiah 36:19 ).
Calno--Calneh, built by Nimrod ( Genesis 10:10 ), once his capital, on the Tigris.
Carchemish--Circesium, on the Euphrates. Taken afterwards by Necho, king of Egypt; and retaken by Nebuchadnezzar: by the Euphrates ( Jeremiah 46:2 ).
Hamath--in Syria, north of Canaan ( Genesis 10:18 ). Taken by Assyria about 753 s.c. From it colonists were planted by Assyria in Samaria.
Arpad--near Hamath.
Samaria--now overthrown.
Damascus--( Isaiah 17:1 Isaiah 17:3 ).
10,11. found--unable to resist me: hath overcome (so Psalms 21:8 ).
and whose--rather, "and their." This clause, down to "Samaria," is parenthetical.
excel--were more powerful. He regards Jerusalem as idolatrous, an opinion which it often had given too much ground for: Jehovah was in his view the mere local god of Judea, as Baal of the countries where it was adored, nay, inferior in power to some national gods ( Isaiah 36:19 Isaiah 36:20 , 37:12 ). See in opposition, Isaiah 37:20 , 46:1 .
As my hand . . . shall I not, as I have--a double protasis. Agitation makes one accumulate sentences.
12. whole work--His entire plan is regard to the punishment of the Jews ( Isaiah 10:5-7 ).
Zion--the royal residence, the court, princes and nobles; as distinguished from "Jerusalem," the people in general.
fruit--the result of, that is, the plants emanating from.
stout--Hebrew, "greatness of," that is, pride of.
13. I am prudent--He ascribes his success to his own prudence, not to God's providence.
removed the bounds--set aside old, and substituted new boundaries of kingdoms at will. A criminal act, as Jehovah Himself had appointed the boundaries of the nations ( Deuteronomy 32:8 ).
treasures--"hoarded treasures" [HORSLEY].
put down . . . inhabitants like, &c.--rather, "as a valiant man, I have brought down (from their seats) those seated" (namely, "on thrones"; as in Psalms 2:4 , 29:10 , 55:19 . The Hebrew for "He that abideth," is He that sitteth on a throne); otherwise, "I have brought down (as captives into Assyria, which lay lower than Judea; therefore 'brought down,' compare Isaiah 36:1 Isaiah 36:10 ), the inhabitants" [MAURER].
14. nest--implying the ease with which he carried off all before him.
left--by the parent bird.
none . . . moved . . . wing--image from an angry bird resisting the robbery of its "nest."
peeped--chirped even low ( Isaiah 8:19 ). No resistance was offered me, of deed, or even word.
15. Shall the instrument boast against Him who uses it? Through free in a sense, and carrying out his own plans, the Assyrian was unconsciously carrying out God's purposes.
shaketh it--moves it back and forward,
staff . . . lift . . . itself . . . no wood--rather, "as if the staff (man, the instrument of God's judgments on his fellow man) should set aside (Him who is) not wood" (not a mere instrument, as man). On "no wood" compare Deuteronomy 32:21 , "that which is not God;" Isaiah 31:8 shows that God is meant here by "not wood" [MAURER].
16. fat ones--( Isaiah 5:17 ). The robust and choice soldiers of Assyria ( Psalms 78:31 , where "fattest" answers in the parallelism to "chosen," or "young men," Margin).
leanness--carrying out the image on "fat ones." Destruction ( Psalms 106:15 ). Fulfilled ( Isaiah 37:36 ).
his glory--Assyria's nobles. So in Isaiah 5:13 , Margin; Isaiah 8:7 .
kindle--a new image from fire consuming quickly dry materials ( Zechariah 12:6 ).
17, 18. light of Israel--carrying out the image in the end of Isaiah 10:16 . Jehovah, who is a light to Israel, shall be the "fire" ( Deuteronomy 4:24 , Hebrews 12:29 ) that shall ignite the "thorns," (the Assyrians, like dry fuel, a ready prey to flame).
18. glory of his forest--The common soldiers, the princes, officers, &c., all alike together, shall be consumed
in one day--( Isaiah 37:36 ).
fruitful field--literally, "Carmel," a rich mountain in the tribe of Asher. Figurative for Sennacherib's mighty army. Perhaps alluding to his own boasting words about to be uttered ( Isaiah 37:24 ), "I will enter the forest of his Carmel."
soul and body--proverbial for utterly; the entire man is made up of soul and body.
as when a standard bearer fainteth--rather, "they shall be as when a sick man" (from a Syriac root) wastes away." Compare "leanness," that is, wasting destruction ( Isaiah 10:16 ) [MAURER]. Or, "there shall be an entire dissipation, like a perfect melting" (namely, of the Assyrian army) [HORSLEY].
19. rest--those who shall survive the destruction of the host.
his forest--same image as in Isaiah 10:18 , for the once dense army.
child . . . write--so few that a child might count them.
20-22. The effect on the "remnant" (contrasted with the Assyrian remnant, Isaiah 10:19 ); namely, those who shall be left after the invasion of Sennacherib, will be a return from dependence on external idolatrous nations, as Assyria and Egypt ( 2 Kings 18:21 , 16:7-9 ), to the God of the theocracy; fulfilled in part in the pious Hezekiah's days; but from the future aspect under which Paul, in Romans 9:27 Romans 9:28 (compare "short work" with "whole work," Isaiah 10:12 , here), regards the whole prophecy, the "remnant," "who stay upon the Lord," probably will receive their fullest realization in the portion of Jews left after that Antichrist shall have been overthrown, who shall "return" unto the Lord ( Isaiah 6:13 , 7:3 , Zechariah 12:9 Zechariah 12:10 , Zechariah 14:2 Zechariah 14:3 , Zephaniah 3:12 ).
21. mighty God--( Isaiah 9:6 ) the God who shall have evinced such might in destroying Israel's enemies. As the Assyrians in Sennacherib's reign did not carry off Judah captive, the returning "remnant" cannot mainly refer to this time.
22. yet--rather in the sense in which Paul quotes it ( Romans 9:27 ), "Though Israel be now numerous as the sand, a remnant only of them shall return"--the great majority shall perish. The reason is added, Because "the consumption (fully completed destruction) is decreed (literally, decided on, brought to an issue), it overfloweth ( Isaiah 30:28 , 8:8 ) with justice"; that is, the infliction of just punishment ( Isaiah 5:16 ) [MAURER].
23. even determined--"A consumption, and whatever is determined," or decreed [MAURER].
midst--Zion, the central point of the earth as to Jehovah's presence.
land--Israel. But the Septuagint, "in the whole habitable world." So English Version ( Romans 9:28 ), "upon the earth."
24. Therefore--Return to the main proposition, Assyria's ultimate punishment, though employed as God's "rod" to chastise Judea for a time.
O my people--God's tenderness towards His elect nation.
after the manner of Egypt--as Egypt and Pharaoh oppressed thee. Implying, too, as Israel was nevertheless delivered from them, so now it would be from the Assyrian Sennacherib. The antithesis in Isaiah 10:26 requires this interpretation [MAURER].
25. For--Be not afraid ( Isaiah 10:24 ), for
indignation . . . cease--The punishments of God against Israel shall be consummated and ended ( Isaiah 26:20 , Daniel 11:36 ). "Till the indignation be accomplished," &c.
mine anger--shall turn to their (the Assyrians') destruction.
26. slaughter of--"stroke upon."
Midian--( Isaiah 9:4 , Judges 7:25 ).
as his rod was upon the sea--rather, understanding "stroke" from the previous clause, "according to the stroke of His rod upon the Red Sea" ( Exodus 14:16 Exodus 14:26 ). His "rod" on the Assyrian ( Isaiah 10:24 Isaiah 10:26 ) stands in bold contrast to the Assyrian used as a "rod" to strike others ( Isaiah 10:5 ).
after the manner of Egypt--as He lifted it up against Egypt at the Red Sea.
27. his burden--the Assyrians oppression ( Isaiah 9:3 ). Judah was still tributary to Assyria; Hezekiah had not yet revolted, as he did in the beginning of Sennacherib's reign.
because of--( Hosea 10:15 ).
the anointing--namely, "Messiah" ( Daniel 9:24 ). Just as in Isaiah 9:4-6 , the "breaking of the yoke of" the enemies' "burden and staff" is attributed to Messiah, "For unto us a child is born," &c., so it is here. MAURER not so well translates, "Because of the fatness"; an image of the Assyrians fierce and wanton pride drawn from a well-fed bull tossing off the yoke ( Deuteronomy 32:15 ). So Isaiah 10:16 above, and Isaiah 5:17 , "fat ones."
28-32. Onward gradual march of Sennacherib's army towards Jerusalem, and the panic of the inhabitants vividly pictured before the eyes.
come to--come upon as a sudden invader ( Genesis 34:27 ).
Aiath--same as Ai ( Joshua 7:2 , Nehemiah 7:32 ). In the north of Benjamin; so the other towns also; all on the line of march to Jerusalem.
Michmash--nine miles northeast of Jerusalem.
laid up . . . carriages--He has left his heavier baggage (so "carriages" for the things carried, Acts 21:15 ) at Michmash, so as to be more lightly equipped for the siege of Jerusalem. So 1 Samuel 17:22 , 25:13 , 30:24 [JEROME and MAURER].
29. passage--the jaws of the wady or defile at Michmash ( 1 Samuel 13:23 , 1 Samuel 14:4 1 Samuel 14:5 ).
lodging--their quarters for the night, after having passed the defile which might have been easily guarded against them.
Ramah--near Geba; seven miles from Jerusalem.
Gibeah of Saul--his birthplace and residence, in Benjamin ( 1 Samuel 11:4 ), distinct from Gibeah of Judah ( Joshua 15:57 ).
30. daughter of Gallim--Gallim and her sons "Cry aloud in consternation."
Laish--not the town in Dan ( Judges 18:7 ), but one of the same name near Jerusalem (I Maccabees 9:9).
Anathoth--three miles from Jerusalem in Benjamin; the birthplace of Jeremiah. "Poor" is applied to it in pity, on account of the impending calamity. Others translate, Answer her, O Anathoth.
31. Madmenah--not the city in Simeon ( Joshua 15:31 ), but a village near Jerusalem.
removed--fled from fear.
gather themselves to flee--"put their goods in a place of safety" [MAURER].
32. that day--literally, "As yet this (one only) day (is allowed to the soldiers) for remaining (halting for rest) at Nob"; northeast of Jerusalem on Olivet; a town of the priests ( Nehemiah 11:32 ).
daughter--rightly substituted for the Chetib reading, house. His "shaking his hand" in menace implies that he is now at Nob, within sight of Jerusalem.
33. bough--literally, the "beauty" of the tree; "the beautiful branch."
high ones of stature--"the upright stem," as distinguished from the previous "boughs" [HORSLEY].
34. This verse and Isaiah 10:33 describe the sudden arrest and overthrow of Sennacherib in the height of his success Isaiah 10:18 Isaiah 10:19 , Ezekiel 31:3 Ezekiel 31:14 , &c., contain the same image; "Lebanon" and its forest are the Assyrian army; the "iron" axe that fells the forest refers to the stroke which destroyed the one hundred and eighty-five thousand Assyrians ( 2 Kings 19:35 ). The "Mighty One" is Jehovah ( Isaiah 10:21 , Isaiah 9:6 ).

As Georgia's agriculture commissioner Gary Black prepares to defend in court his change to the annual start date for Vidalia onion shipments, it appears he has a lot of support from the growers.
"It's important to note that the growers asked the commissioner for help. He was invited to come to Vidalia to discuss ways to ensure the quality of the crop that is going to market," said Bob Stafford, who manages the Vidalia Onion Business Council and works with the Vidalia Onion Advisory Panel.
A vote at a May 30 growers' meeting showed 11-1 in favor of the change, Stafford said.
Delbert Bland, of Bland Farms Inc., Glennville, filed a lawsuit challenging the change. He contends it is contrary to state statute. The state's response to Blan's complaint is due Nov. 18. An attorney for Bland said there will likely be a ruling in March or April.
The new start date is the Monday of the last full week in April every year. For 2014, that date is April 21.
Growers' concerns not new
Black said growers started asking for his help at least 18 months ago. Stafford and several growers confirmed that.
Coral BeachRobert Dasher — G&R FarmsThey have become increasingly concerned about the effect immature onions have had on the industry, said Robert Dasher, 50-plus-year onion grower and co-owner of G&R Farms, Glennville, Ga.
"They might pass the U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection for grade No. 1, but they aren't mature Vidalias," Dasher said. "They don't have the shelf life because they're too wet. When consumers try to slice them the rings fall apart because they're soggy."
When the onions started hitting retail shelves in early April, Black said his phone started ringing. He said he sent out inspectors and traveled to several stores himself to check the quality of the Vidalias. They were sub-par, he said.
In response, Black proposed the new rule in late June. It became law in August.
Black said on Nov. 14 that the process, which included three listening sessions and a public hearing, was completed early enough so growers could buy appropriate varieties of seed to meet the later start date, which is in effect for 2014.
"This is about maturity and shelf life," Black said. "The objective is to get growers to choose varieties that come in with those qualities."
Inspection standards
Michael Hively, chief financial officer for Curry & Co., Brooks, Ore, and a partner in Sweet Vidalia Onions LLC, Collins, Ga., said the commissioner had to act. He said part of the problem is that inspection standards merely call for No. 1 grade onions to be "fairly firm."

The UNH Traditional Jazz Series presents Michael White and the New Liberty City Jazz Band on Monday, April 1 at 8pm in the Johnson Theater at the Paul Creative Arts Center.

Michael White is a jazz clarinetist, bandleader, composer, jazz historian, and musical educator. A staunch jazz traditionalist, White can be heard on the 1989 album The Majesty of the Blues by Wynton Marsalis, and his own 1990 album titled Crescent City Serenade. Since 1979 he has played in the Young Tuxedo Brass Band, and during the 1980s he also led a band called The New Orleans Hot Seven.
In 1981, White founded The New Liberty City Jazz Band with the express intent of preserving the musical heritage of New Orleans. The group has performed an end-of-year concert at the Village Vanguard every year since the early 1990s.
The Traditional Jazz Concert Series is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz. The library, established in 1978 by Dorothy Prescott, comprises books, recordings, and memorabilia and is housed in Dimond Library. Prescott's generous endowment funds its activities including the Traditional Jazz Series concerts.

Materials on the site are divided into sections that include Frances Perkins, The Center, Projects, and Virtual Tour. The first section contains a photo gallery of Perkins, along with information about her life and times. In the Center area, visitors can read about the Center's mission and staff or scan the blog.

We are happy to announce the opening of the Geospatial Services Center (GSC) in Room 337 of Dimond Library.
The GSG is available to help novice users of geographic information system (GIS) and related software, such as Google Earth. Students, as well as faculty and staff, can use the GSC to get started on a new project or, if already working on a project, to get basic level help in completing it. You do not need to be enrolled in a course to use the GSC.
Non-UNH patrons may also bring in a laptop with software preloaded and GSC staff will try to assist, though help for personal laptops is limited.
Users can seek assistance with the following:
- Locating and downloading geospatial datasets
- Integrating data into an existing GIS project
- Helping manage files
- Answering questions on basic software functionality:
- ESRI ArcInfo GIS & plug-ins (available to UNH users)
- Many open source GIS programs
- Google Earth
- ERDAS Imagine (available for UNH users)
- Multispec
- Making referrals for more in-depth help
A UNH ID is required to use center workstations. Computers are available during hours when the GSC is open, though users may bring their own laptops. Books in the GSC may be browsed when it is open.
Two advanced undergraduate peer tutors are available part time.
Peer tutors are scheduled for the following hours during spring semester:
- Tuesday: 9-11 AM; 3:30-4:30 PM
- Thursday: 9-11 AM; 1-2 PM
- Friday: 9 AM-12 PM
Although appointments are not required, there will be sign-up sheet posted outside of 337 to reserve a time slot.
Peer tutors have been sponsored by the NHView program, a federally funded program designed to make satellite imagery more available to researchers and the public.

There are a lot of sports drinks out there, all touting some kind of health benefit, but a closer look at these beverages reveals that, healthy and wonderful as these drinks may seem to be, many of them have about a lot of sugar and more calories than a "drink" should have! Imagine my excitement, therefore, when I saw that Powerade was offering a new line of zero-calorie sports drinks, aptly called Powerade Zero.
Powerade Zero is offered in three flavors: Grape, Mixed Berry and Strawberry. These drinks taste much like what I have come to expect from sports drinks - sweet with somewhat artificial flavors that still seem to be able to quench your thirst after a good workout. I liked the Strawberry flavor best, but they were all pretty appealing (if you like sweet drinks).
Each Powerade Zero drink offers 10% of each vitamins B3, B6, and B12 per 8 ounce serving along with no calories. The sweetener used are sucralose (Splenda) acesulfame-K and I found these drinks at the grocery store for $1.39 each, but I've seen them as high as $1.79 per 32-ounce container at other stores.
The parent company, Coca Cola replaced Powerade Option (which we reviewed) with Powerade Zero, but it seems that it kept the same too sweet taste - some may like this and some may not. I thought it was okay, and I would buy it again. Propel Fitness Water has 10 calories per serving, but up to 25% of B vitamins plus vitamin C and E.

He was a wonderful provider and proud of the accomplishments of each family member. His family is forever grateful for the legacy that he lived before them as a husband, a father, and a grandfather.
He is survived by his wife, Avadene, to whom he was married for 67 years; and two children: Eddie and wife, Teresa Brown, and Bobbie and husband, Roger Varner.

Recent Hiking Boot Reviews
Oboz Men's Bridger BDry
I bought these boot just about a year ago and I'm quite pleased. Out of the box fit was good and a trip to REI got me into a size that was best. It took a week or so for my upper ankle to adjust to the padding, but I'm happy as a clam now. They really are waterproof, very comfortable, and seem to be lasting after a year of constant use. I wear these for about 50% of my daily footwear and for trail hiking in New England. I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat. I shopped around for a new boot for quite… Full review
Salomon Men's X Ultra GTX Mid
A waterproof all purpose boot. Suitable for the trail or the street. I bought these to replace my Patagonia Drifter. I need to have products that are versitile. I wear boots for the trail and for work. These boots were comfortable right out of the box. I wore them for hikes in the Bay Area, including Mt Diablo. On wet days, my feet stayed dry. On warm days, my feet didn't get hit. No blisters so far, after 6 months of wearing 3-4 times a week. The only weakness is the tread, which I think could… Full review
Asolo Piuma
The Asolo Piuma is a light, articulate mid-height boot well suited to hiking, backpacking, and general outdoors use. Despite some minor issues with traction, I'd recommend it to any hiker or backpacker it fits. This is the closest thing to an "all purpose" boot I've encountered. Fit: I've got a very neutral, average foot: Average arch, average volume, average elongation, etc. My stride is very neutral and balanced too. Though I measure a 10, I prefer a 10.5 in most shoes to accommodate a thicker… Full review
Vasque Scree 2.0 Mid UltraDry
My first pair of hiking boots. After 2x250 km walks at 22kms per day they still look good all over and under. But they feel a bit heavy and I got big heel blisters on both trips. They don't feel well cushioned underneath. On one-day hikes I have had no problem. They're just a little heavy. Really easy to get on and off and fantastic grip underfoot. And they look good. But plenty of blisters no matter what socks I wore on longer trips. Especially on the heels. Full review
Zamberlan Elk GTX
You can get a better boot and way better customer service for less $$$. Fit is good a couple of days into use. Cheap insoles that have no arch support. Great ankle support. Good traction and light weight. Sadly they leaked just walking through wet grass. Customer service is some of the worst I've experienced. Three emails and no response. I followed up with a phone call and no receipt no warranty. Just have to deal with leaky boots that are supposed to be waterproof. I recommend spending your hard… Full review
Asolo Shiraz GV Boot
Solid, off-trail, 3-season backpacking boot. Kevlar performance for those who know. I wear euro size 46 and that's the boot size I own. Compared to others I have tried the fit is snug but correct for my medium volume feet, using the 3/4 length Birkenstock orthotic essential to my foot health in preventing heel blisters ascending. The boot is made of Schoeller Keprotec fabric instead of leather, with suede stitched onto the rand and heel, with rubber glued to the suede on the toe running about 2/3… Full review
Danner Men's Light II
Best hiking boot ever. Bombproof, replaceable sole. DANNER! Danner boots are pretty rad. I have three pairs now, so I am a little biased. They are also right down the street from me in Portland, so repair is easy. The fit is kinda weird at first. The leather is super tight, and almost painful, but I listened to the shoe salesman and just went with what I felt was too tight. There is a long break-in period. I could only walk to the store, about 3/4 of a mile round trip, and it felt like my shins… Full review
Asolo Men's Fugitive GTX
The Asolo Fugitive GTX has excellent ankle support and a rigid outsole for stability, but not so rigid you feel like you're walking on frostbitten feet. The lacing system is very adjustable for foot shape and individual tightness preference, and the laces are long enough for many alternative methods of lacing, but not too long for the traditional method. I need to start off with a short story. These boots saved me over $200 — my right foot is in pretty bad shape, with arthritis in the big toe… Full review
Merrell Women's Moab Mid Gore-Tex
This boot is very good for both day hikes and longer backpacking trips. I would definitely recommend it. This is a good boot. It has a good fit and is comfortable to wear. They didn't need to be broken in. I wore these all throughout the winter last year in Vermont and they always kept my feet warm. They are relatively lightweight and have held up like new over a year of use. The only complaint I have with these boots is that they are not completely water resistant. The next pair I buy will be… Full review

Polartec® NeoShell®
Superior waterproofing, wind resistance and breathability are the hallmarks of our Polartec® Neo Shell® collection. The almost magical qualities of Polartec® NeoShell® offer a highly breathable membrane with a special wicking backer to control sweat and keep your core ultra-comfy. And you'll be amazed that a technology this tough can be so lightweight. Combined with our M1 Softshells, it's in a class all its own.
What is it?
Waterproof, breathable and ultra-flexible, Polartec® Neo Shell® fabric redefines what a softshell can be. It protects like a hardshell yet breathes like a softshell, with an abrasion resistant face, soft inner layer and highly breathable two-way air exchange. Using convection, the waterproof membrane dramatically accelerates moisture vapor transfer.
How does it work?
With its exclusive membrane technology, Polartec® NeoShell® engages convection to move moisture vapor away rapidly. Even at extremely low levels of pressure, air flows in and out of the fabric. This pulls the moisture out to help keep you drier during high-exertion activities.
What are the benefits of this technology?
Polartec® NeoShell® gives you warmth without weight because it uses light weight fibers and layers. Its wind resistant feature blocks 99.9% of the wind while the new wicking backer gives increased comfort and wicking performance. High performance innovation with easy care allows you to machine wash your garments.
M1 Softshells provide the highest level of water resistance and warmth, best for intermittent aerobic activities in cold and wet conditions.

Majorca Briefbag
Majorca Briefbag
Majorca Poem
The beauty of you is still captivating. Though we have never met, I still look upon you and admire your existence. I wonder about your companionship and how you would feel close to me. I dream about our adventures together and how I would go on about you. I would relay the highlights in your color and the smoothness of your skin. How you would appeal to others as you have to me. If I give away all of my possessions or save every dollar I make, I will have you one day, as my own. Carmen, Grand Prairie, TX
April 14, 2010
Always the best Quality
A very good price for such a high quality bag. It is a bit large so I bought the smaller brief bag for when I am not carrying my laptop.
July 7, 2013
Perfect for College Graduate
I purchased the red Majorca Briefbag for my wonderful daughter-in-law who graduated Saturday with her Master's degree. The color is great, making a bit of a statement while still projecting a professional image. I wanted something of quality which isn't like all the rest...quality with just a hint of "attitude" and confidence. Most importantly, she loves it so that makes it perfect in my book!!!
May 13, 2013
Finally bought one!
I have been considering this bag for quite some time but told myself that I already have too many wonderful bags. So when it went on sale, I decided to go ahead and get the saddle colored one. It is very well styled and of the quality I expect from Levenger. It holds my letter-sized bomber jacket planner with a grid-it attached, my iPad, iPhone, keys, a lipstick or two and my bomber jacket international briefcase (I use as my wallet) and a few other items. I don't think I'd carry my macbook pro in it. Although it would fit, I am concerned the weight might cause the bag to loose it's wonderful form. So it's good sized but it won't carry EVERYTHING... It looks professional, organized and feminine all at the same time. I hope Levenger decides to expand the color options beyond the black, red and saddle. The saddle color with the white stiching is very classic looking. As an artist though, I think it would still be stunning in a cordovan, light blue, sage green or even eggplant.
April 13, 2013
Lovely slim bag
I highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a professional bag that isn't just another messenger bag or briefcase. It holds my macbook air laptop and iPad easily, and I can also fit a slim volume with the two of them. The outside pocket is quite flat, so anyone with a large wallet or sunglasses case might not prefer the bag. I have enjoyed the fact that it encourages me to carry less stuff, as I have always tended in the direction of the "loose baggy monster," which is bad for your back! Exceptional quality leather, as usual from Levenger.
April 13, 2013
iPad carrier my solution
I'd been looking for a bag to carry my iPad for some time. Needed something with a strap, large enough to carry the iPad and separate keyboard, and a bright color so can't forget it's there and lose it.This is perfect on all fronts. Can double as a regular purse/iPad carrier when in my home area, and holds keyboard as well when travelling. And not bulky. Everything I've been looking for, and hoped to find from Levenger due to previous high quality items purchased.
March 4, 2013
Favorite Bag
I've had my Majora bag for over 4 years now and love it. It is perfect for business trips where I don't need to lug my laptop to meetings. This bag does double duty as my breifcase and purse - and the slim profile makes the bag both easy to carry and classy enough to carry off as my only bag. I own the saddle color - which is a classic carmel/tan in rich, durable leather. After 4 years, my bag still looks new. Would highly recommend to anyone who doesn't want a big bulky "man-sized" briefcase. This beauty is streamlined yet hightly functional - and practical. I'm back to purchase another in black,
January 21, 2013
Useful, Beautiful Bag
Like other Levenger products I have bought over the years, this arrived wrapped in a soft cloth bag fastened with a silky braided rope. The case is high quality leather with edged leather details on interior pockets, leather tabbed zipper pulls, nice cloth lining and firm handles, all stitched well and edges perfect- a high quality product. The wide top opening allows me to carry my 15 x 101/2 inch laptop, although I don't do that often, and the case is capable of carrying my large scheduling notebook and work files, books, wallet, gloves, keys, pens, cell phone, etc, in a zipped neat case. It will stand up when zipped open for easy loading and checking contents. Since I am not fond of a shoulder strap, I only wish it had slightly longer handles for slinging over my shoulder when hands are full of other bundles. The saddle color is a vintage medium brown. Professional - lightweight.

this bag is worth it...every penny
it is with a heavy heart that I finally lay to rest my first red Majorca Briefbag...it has served me faithfully for 10 years, through overloading, rain, and snow. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on this bag, I always looked pulled together (whether I was or not). ...the bag makes it look like you are. I recently noticed the red chewed up drink circle on it, where did that come from???, the scuffing from years of use....I am actually talking myself out of getting another bag. Maybe a trip to the shoe repair man and a good polishing could salvage it?
January 18, 2012
lovely at first, but falls apart
I ordered this bag because I have been so pleased with the Majorca laptop bag I have had for nearly five years now, which looks as beautiful and works as well as the day I received it. When my job changed so that I did not need to tote my laptop around I was happy to be able to size down. The leather and color are beautiful, but I started losing zipper pulls within a few months, and now three years later there are none left, and the main zipper is broken and irreparable, making the bag completely unusable. Given the way the zipper is inserted (which makes it very functional and allows the bag to open wide for loading) the zipper is essentially impossible to replace, so it would cost nearly as much to fix as it would to replace the bag. I am disappointed, because I invest in quality leather goods with the hope they will last, and that I will be able to get them repaired.

Stop Staring have a gorgeous red polka dot wrap dress which I decided I must try and replicate http://www.stopstaringclothing.com/sunshop/glmwp-03-rdwhd-166.html
I didn't want to buy any more fabric as my stash is so huge at the moment so I used a blue dot instead. I had a blue spot called Shadowed Sapphire which I purchased from Tessuti (on sale!)
The fabric is Ponti and I have to say , I LOVE IT! Not only is it easy to work with it's really forgiving on the body. I used a vogue pattern Vogue V1192 and down sized it to allow for the stretch. I deleted the back zip and added the bows to the shoulders which are removable.

Wow, I love it! The waist details are lovely, and the bows just take the cake. I love how you styled it too – you look so gorgeously fresh and striking!
Dec 12, 2012, 12.04 AMby Anniemollison
Thankyou, I wasn't sure about the bows in the beginning, but I think that they add a point of difference.

Really lovely! Ponti is great to sew and as you wrote, so forgiving. I love this fabric and your pattern. I was disappointed you didn't get a look in, in the Tessuti Awards. In fact, I was disappointed in the finalists. The judges see things differently to me obviously but I still think you deserved a final spot. Are you wearing this dress to a Melbourne Cup function?
Nov 1, 2012, 07.39 PMby Anniemollison
Thank you for your encouraging comments. II really loved the second place in tessuti awards, it was very modern . I'm not going to races but hopefully will get to wear it somewhere!

First President´s Message for 2009
Recently, after meeting the requirements according to the ITF rules, I was promoted to the highest rank level in ITF Taekwon-Do, 9th degree, and given the title of Grandmaster. This is a very important moment in my Taekwon-Do career and a great honor for me and for my family.
First I would like to express my sincere appreciation:
Since my promotion, I have received numerous congratulatory e-mail messages from many different parts of the world. ITF members and others wanted to share with me their positive reactions about the news of my promotion. I was very touched to receive these personal messages, and I know they will be a precious source of encouragement as I continue to serve the best interests of the ITF and its members. This experience has shown me that our individual achievements can have a positive effect on others, even if we do not know all of them personally, when we are all working to promote the true martial arts spirit.
Over the last six years, the ITF has made enormous progress in developing all four facets of Taekwon-Do: as a sport, a martial art, a way of life, and a tool for social development. Our members very much appreciate our customer service orientation, democratic structure, the absence of political influence, and our emphasis on fair and transparent operations. As a result, ITF membership around the world continues to increase significantly every year.
I sincerely hope that in the near future the confusion about the different factions in the ITF will be resolved as Taekwon-Do people, the media, and the general public clearly see from the evidence which is the true and legitimate ITF organization.
My second mandate as president of the ITF will come to an end in 2011 and, although I am extremely honored to be the second elected president of the ITF, following our Founder General Choi Hong Hi, I do not intend to be president for life. When I was asked to take on this responsibility, I did so because I believed it was my moral responsibility to serve the ITF, to lead it through difficult times, and to transform it into a professional martial arts organization operating according to the rules of good governance while continuing to show respect for the authentic martial arts spirit. It was a formidable challenge, and I have to admit that it has not always been easy!
Since 2003 I have been using the Presidents Messages posted on the official ITF Website to express my values and ideas and to promote positive changes in the organization. I firmly believe that the best way to change our organization is to provide the information and tools that our members need. With better knowledge and guidance, our organization and its members will evolve quite naturally and will be recognized as the true Taekwon-Do organization.
My greatest dream for Taekwon- Do is that in the future the ITF will have good senior Korean Grandmasters as senior advisors to the organization. When this is achieved, the structure of the ITF will be complete. This will make me very proud as we will be showing respect for our history and benefiting from the wisdom of our seniors.
Some of our priorities for the ITF in 2009 are:
One of my personal goals for this year is to finish my book titled:
The Do, a way of life!
From ancient philosophy and wisdom to everyday warriors in the modern world.
On the subject of teaching the Do, I invite you to take a look at the latest version of my presentation about the introduction of the teaching of the Do for ITF members. Please click here to view the presentation (New Version for the Presentation Of The Do by Grandmaster Tran Trieu Quan, dated January, 23rd, 2009).
In closing, I would like to offer to you and your family as well as to all ITF members and friends an Oriental wish:
May all of your thousands of wishes be realized during the New Year 2009!
Thank you once again for the confidence you have shown in my leadership.
Grandmaster Trân Triêu Quân
ITF President
Quebec City (Canada) January 6th 2009

10 most powerful PaaS companies
We look at the leaders in the platform-as-a-service market -
How to choose an IaaS provider
Move over Amazon - five other IaaS providers weigh in -
2014's biggest cloud deals (so far)
The most important cloud acquisitions this year have one thing in common: OpenStack.
10 open source projects that power the cloud
With recent negative reports from Gartner and Zenoss, it seems "dump on open source cloud" season is open. For those quick to point the finger at some of these technologies that may not have the market share some expect, it would be good to remember that without open source, it would be difficult to have a cloud at all.
Open Source PaaS: Cloud Foundry and OpenShift
Some of the biggest names in tech are throwing their hat into the open source PaaS market. OpenShift by RedHat, scheduled to go to production early next year, boasts impressive support and features, while VMware's CloudFoundry is already available in a commercially hosted version.
Open Source RDMS: MySQL and PostgreSQL
While there is a lot of buzz and hype around NoSQL, good-old relational databases are still more than holding their own in the cloud. Even many Big Data solutions still use venerable MySQL or PostgreSQL either alone or in conjunction with NoSQL databases.
Open Languages and Runtimes: PHP, Ruby, Java Script, etc.
Of course, it's not the languages that are open but the runtime libraries that allow the code to run on the servers. There are enough choices to satisfy just about any developer. The great thing is they all have open source servers or great commercial servers built on the open source.
Hypervisor/Virtualisation: KVM
One of the most popular virtualisation choices in the cloud, KVM has a bright future as Red Hat's default virtualisation choice. Standard with Linux, KVM continues to make strides chasing some of the other virtualisation options. For those using Red Hat for their cloud infrastructure, KVM is a natural choice.
Developed by Cloud.com, acquired by Citrix, and now turned over to the Apache Foundation, CloudStack is a complete open source IaaS platform. With API support for Amazon's cloud, the Apache-supported project has great promise to be a popular choice for those seeking to set up their own cloud or hybrid private/public clouds.
Hypervisor/Virtualisation- Xen
One of the first virtualisation choices, Xen was bought by Citrix for billions without any real revenue to speak of. Citrix subsequently developed a commercial version (Xen Enterprise), but the original open source version still powers some of the biggest public clouds out there.
With the exception of the cloud itself, there are few more-hyped areas of technology than NoSQL. Although it may still be too early to say who really wins this prize, some good bets would be 10Gen's MongoDB and CouchBase. Both are open sourced NoSQL databases that boast some very big customer names and lots of supporters.
The brainchild of NASA and Rackspace, OpenStack has attracted the most support in the cloud world, and has subsequently made tremendous strides in a short amount of time. Critics say it won't get widespread adoption, but the fact is that in a very immature market like the cloud, growing pains are expected.
The Big Daddy of Big Data, Hadoop seems to be everywhere. The Apache project boasts several different distributions, including Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR. Big Data and Hadoop have attracted VC funding in the tens of millions, as well.
Forget the cloud; we probably wouldn't have an Internet without Linux. Whether we are talking about Ubuntu, Suse, or any other flavor, Linux has become the Lingua Franca of the Internet and the cloud. Heck, even Microsoft's Azure supports some Linux apps.
Developed by Cloud.com, acquired by Citrix, and now turned over to the Apache Foundation, CloudStack is a complete open source IaaS platform. With API support for Amazon's cloud, the Apache-supported project has great promise to be a popular choice for those seeking to set up their own cloud or hybrid private/public clouds.

Last Saturday and Sunday, August 25th - 26th 132 participants from Argentina, Venezuela, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil and Chile attendend a full 2 day training course with the latest Rules for World Championships in effect as from January 1st 2013. It was organized by FETRA and Master Fabian Pini in CEDEM installations. Master Fabian Pini exceeded everyone expectations for his professionalism and kindness.
Saturday morning the course started with GM Trajtenberg and GM Marano opening speeches followed by Master Katz and Mr. Kurt Ottesen seminar on the new Rules. A new PowerPoint presentation was translated into Spanish and updated with all the changes. Ring councils were set (21) so people were grouped in the same manner as they would be in a World Championship. Participants were very interested in how new rules were going to be implemented and many questions were answered to a demanding audience .Procedures forrunning each event were described in detail.
The afternoon started with the Free Sparring chapter addressing to a hands on seminar: Master Katz described details and special considerations about warnings, points and fouls. Hard Contact was also discussed and practiced so participants were able to understand what was referred when light contact, contact, and hard contact was shown.
The first day session closed with 2 workshops running at the same time: The first part conducted by Master Katz where participants were able to practice learned concepts in tournament mode. The electronic system was set and each ring council practiced with free sparring controllers while center referees conducted each match. Everyone saw how scoring and results were displayed on the screen while 2 competitors were sparring in identical format as it is done in WCHs. The experience was great! Everyone had a chance to score and handle the electronic devices. The second part conducted by Mr.Ottesen showing hand signals for center referees and having also a hands on practice! He clarified each hand signal.
The second day started having Master Katz describing new rules for Individual and Team pattern and describing the new guideline with the code of points to discount in patterns scoring.
GMMarano took the lead and went into the qualitative part of patterns confronting points to be discounted according to the code of points in real time. He used videos and also made some participants to perform different patterns. This part of the seminar was very good indeed.
Master Katz explained Power and Special Techniques highlights. Some videos from last WCH were projected and finally Mr. Ottesen ended by showing the exact procedure for these events.
Overall this seminar exceeded participant's expectations and everyone learned, practiced and had fun!!

Chairman of the ITFUmpire Committee

Government regulation in the form of the Food Safety Modernization Act is on its way. It's now just a matter of time.
The sooner the FDA publishes and enforces its regulations, the sooner the public will be protected against prolonged searches for the source of contaminated food.
It's not just up to the buyers and the government, though.
There's a third group that can influence the implementation of PTI: us, the produce community at large.
We are educated — most growers have heard of PTI and are fairly well informed.
And we are accountable — lawyers are now starting to target growers, distributors and buyers in food recalls, citing negligence in addition to strict liability.
With the health and wellness of consumers in our hands, are we willing to stick our heads in the sand and delay implementing a proven solution to make things better?
Three years ago, the industry decided it was important enough to come together and put PTI in place by 2012.
Our initial needs and reasons haven't changed.
What we need to do now is keep the momentum going and see the initiative through.
Ultimately, this won't happen until either retailers require it or the FDA mandates it.
It is up to us to keep the pressure on both groups and push for a safer, more traceable produce supply chain.
Gary Fleming is vice president of strategic services for RedLine Solutions, Santa Clara, Calif.
