Supporters | Material evidence of unruly rooting
Barcelona | An exhibit of more than 400 pictures and artifacts of football fandom's recent checkered history occasions surprise not for its place within the halls of culture but that the material evidence has been so lovingly preserved.
Can one believe that the pig's head, launched toward Luis Figo at the Barcelona–Real Madrid derby in Nov 02, has been kept for such display more than five years later—still looking like it has had the last laugh? Or that museum curators have dutifully cataloged the charred scooter, parked on its kickstand, that supporters heaved over San Siro railings during a 2001 match between Internazionale and Atalanta?
Conjuring associations with high school biology lab, the preserved head of a pig (cerdo) floats in a beaker of preservative at the Barcelona exhibit. Not just any pig's head, exhibitors claim this as the specimen hurled toward Figo at the Camp Nou during the "Partido de la Vergüenza" (Game of Shame). (Antonio Moreno | El Mundo)
We imagine the latter entry on the glossed catalog pages of the "Pasión en las gradas" (Passion in the Stands) exhibit, ongoing through Apr 20 at the Barcelona galleries of the Espai Cultural Caja Madrid: "1 Vespa PX, moto scooter (blackened [by flame?]), 97kg, single cylinder, electric and kick starter, pressed steel monocoque on a two-wheel frame, 8-liter fuel capacity (empty). On loan from FC Internazionale."
Also gaining entry are effigies of Spanish and Italian provenance: again, Luis Figo, a so-called Judas after his 2000 transfer from Barça to Madrid, receives abuse in the form of a pink-skinned blowup mannequin, shown from the rear, perhaps engaging in unspeakable deeds in areas hidden from view. The Brigate Gialloblù of Hellas, with whom author Tim Parks associates in A Season with Verona, claim responsibility for the horrific mock-up of a lynching victim dressed in the team's cheerful blue and yellow.
The black figure, meant to communicate to Verona's directors the ultra group's views toward a planned approach for well-traveled Cameroonian striker Patrick Mboma, dangles from a noose near the entrance to one of the exhibit's six themed sections, "Violencia." The startling image ensures that the exhibition, in present form, could never be mounted in the American South.
The visitor must journey through a murderer's row of sporting excess and sickness. Curated by Klaus Littmann of Basel, Switzerland, in combination with the Madrid-based PopArt Acción Cultural, the displays of photography, newspapers, video as well as signage and weaponry confiscated from Europe's terraces break down into categories of fascination, words, masses, discrimination and prevention.
One review mentions that exhibit organizers have tried to balance the impact of images of bellicosity and death with humor—part of one room dedicated, for instance, to the Borussia Dortmund–themed line of funerary products—as well as with the massed colors and joys of spectator sport. The online virtual exhibit, with text in Spanish, Catalan and English, alludes to the "structured happiness" of the mass wave, said to have originated at the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico. So even moments of glee contain a less-than-spontaneous component and might even morph, according to the exhibitors' narrative, into more sinister expressions:
The stadium becomes a place of cult where feelings and emotions are collective, and simultaneously, a place that is on a fine edge between emotion, excitement and fascination on the positive side, and aggression on the dark side. Thanks to that positive side of the coin—which is lived collectively for instance when celebrating the joy of a goal—that energy can become the complete opposite: an experience of collective suffering.
As the final image in the online "Masas" section demonstrates—of flowers and scarves laid in 1989 in the goalmouth at Hillsborough—the stadium serves well for exposing such extremities. While supporters in Liverpool are singing "You'll Never Walk Alone," those in Utrecht are chanting "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas."
This video tour includes some of the violent ephemera on view, such as the brass-knuckle and nunchaku collections. To view video, copy the provided link into your browser's address bar. (Europa Press) |
Such themes are taken up in an extensive menu of forums tied to the three-month-long display. These include panels with journalists from El País, La Vanguardia and Catalan daily Avui, anthropologists and photographers (link to schedules). Some of the forums address the place of the media, in particular the Spanish football press, in throwing wood on the fire of such rivalries and in distorting the meaning of football such that it becomes an outlet for societal dysfunction.
These lazy repetitions of half-truths or outright falsehoods contrast—one of the themes in the "Palabras" area of the exhibit—with a growing minority of anti-racist activists who try to bring sport into its proper frame. For example, former Spanish minister of health and consumption Ernest Lluch Martín, a Barcelona supporter, decried any associations between Barça and violence. In rough translation, he wrote, "A violent Barça supporter is not a Barça supporter, he is just violent. A violent Nazi is not a Nazi, he is just violent. A violent anti-fascist is not an anti-fascist, he is just violent."
Lluch died in 2000, shot twice in the head at home by members of the Basque separatist group ETA.

Does R.C. Sproul Believe in Miracles?
from R.C. Sproul Jul 24, 2013 Category: Articles
I get this question all the time, "R.C., do you believe that miracles happen today?" If you want me to give the simple answer, the answer is no. Today, you can go into a pastor's office and see a sign that says, "Expect a Miracle." But if you expect a miracle—if miracles are expectable—there's nothing miraculous about them. If they're ordinary then they carry no certifiable weight. It's by their extraordinary character that they have sign power: sign-ificance. Keep Reading -
How Should Christians View World History?
from R.C. Sproul Jul 17, 2013 Category: R.C. Sproul
"What goes around, comes around." This American idiom suggests a view of history that has more in common with ancient Greek philosophy than with the Judeo-Christian understanding of history. The grand difference between the ancient view of history and that found in Scripture is the difference between what is called "cyclical" and "linear-progressive." A cyclical view indicates that there was no beginning to the universe and no goal for it; rather, history creates itself and eventually repeats itself—forever. It was this ancient perspective that generated the skepticism that inspired Friedrich Nietzsche's view of "the myth of eternal recurrence." Keep Reading -

John 3:16 and Man's Ability to Choose God
from R.C. Sproul Jul 03, 2013 Category: Articles
It is ironic that in the same chapter, indeed in the same context, in which our Lord teaches the utter necessity of rebirth to even see the kingdom, let alone choose it, non-Reformed views find one of their main proof texts to argue that fallen man retains a small island of ability to choose Christ. It is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Keep Reading -
Ekklesia: The Called-Out Ones
from R.C. Sproul Jun 28, 2013 Category: Articles
Ekklesia means "those who are the called-out ones." Simply put, the invisible church, the true church, is composed of those who are called by God not only outwardly but inwardly by the Holy Spirit. Keep Reading -
Does God Change His Mind?
from R.C. Sproul Jun 14, 2013 Category: Articles
"To change one's mind," in the New Testament means to repent. When the Bible speaks of my repenting or your repenting, it means that we are called to change our minds or our dispositions with respect to sin—that we are to turn away from evil. Repent is loaded with these kinds of connotations, and when we talk about God's repenting, it somehow suggests that God has to turn away from doing something wicked. But that's not what is always meant when the Bible uses this word. Keep Reading -

Does James 2:24 Deny Justification by Faith Alone?
from R.C. Sproul Jun 07, 2013 Category: Articles
This question is not critical only today, but it was in the eye of the storm we call the Protestant Reformation that swept through and divided the Christian church in the sixteenth century. Martin Luther declared his position: Justification is by faith alone, our works add nothing to our justification whatsoever, and we have no merit to offer God that in any way enhances our justification. This created the worst schism in the history of Christendom. Keep Reading

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The effort to build a municipal airport to replace Hardwick Field really began about 25 years before former Gov. Don Sundquist's plane landed on the short runway in March 2000.
Former City Commissioner Eddie Cartwright began pushing for a new general aviation airport after he was elected in May 1973. But, the effort never coalesced until 2004 when the Cleveland City Council authorized the Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority.
Just shy of nine years later, the Airport Authority cut the ribbon Friday morning to officially open Cleveland Regional Jetport.
The new airport was not cheap. The total cost, as of Jan. 22, was $42.320 million. The state and federal share was $36.376 million. The city's share was $5.943 million. The cost was split between the federal and state, and local governments through a mix of matching grants ranging in percentages from 50/50 to 95/5 shares.
Terminal building construction and furnishings cost $1.928 million. The state and city each contributed $350,000 for a total of $700,000 for the terminal. The Airport Authority is responsible for raising the remaining $1.228 million through private donations.
Bill Allen was contracted in January 2012 to lead the fundraising campaign. The agreement was for a flat rate of $5,750 a month and expenses up to $500 a month. As of Wednesday, he had billed the Airport Authority $50,202.
So far, the fundraising campaign has generated $290,000 with Bank of Cleveland contributing $75,000; Pioneer Credit, $50,000; Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce, $50,000; Olin Corporation, $40,000; SkyRidge Medical Center, $30,000; First Tennessee Bank, $25,000; and FS&G Bank, $20,000, plus computers.
Furnishing the terminal building with chairs, office and outdoor furniture cost $102,331, which was included in the original design budget. Other items include $88,134 for electronics, such as entry keypads, telephones, paging system and audiovisual equipment in the main conference room.
Also included in the price tag was $15,430 for motorized roller shades to cover the windows; $17,236 for appliances and $3,000 for signage.
The Terminal Design Committee has also discussed naming options.
Hardwick Field was to be the primary source of income to pay down the city's share of the airport. The Airport Authority originally believed the 103-acre Hardwick Field would bring $3 million. However, 40 acres are in the form of easements and is not sellable.
The Airport Authority is left with 61.4 acres comprised of two noncontiguous parcels. The larger contains 52 acres and smaller contains 9.4 acres. The parcels were appraised at $960,000 and $100,000. The value of any buildings was not considered in the appraisal by Richard O. Banks. The total estimated property value was $1.060 million.
Hardwick will be sold sometime in the middle of 2013 by auction. The exact date and type of auction is undetermined.

WorkFirst HandBook
Welcome to the WorkFirst Handbook
***********************Recent Updates and Memos for Staff
About WorkFirst
WorkFirst has Six Main Performance Goals
- Reduce the TANF caseload
- Increase the number of participants in unsubsidized jobs.
- Increase the percentage of participants with earnings.
- Increase the earnings of participants.
- Reduce TANF returns.
- Increase child support collections.
Participant Flow Chart
There are various stages a participant might go through to become independent of TANF. The process begins with an application for TANF cash aid and ends with a successful exit from the TANF program using job retention and wage and skill progression strategies for lasting gains. The interim steps include activities (like job search) and processes (like evaluation and helping the participant develop an IRP) that will help them meet their goals.
Not every participant goes through every stage. Our experience shows that people can find jobs and independence at any step in the process. This handbook has information about every stage in the program.
WorkFirst Partner Roles
The WorkFirst program mandates a new level of coordination between state agencies, tribal governments, and other key local area partners. Each WorkFirst partner has an important role to play and areas of expertise to contribute in helping participants achieve self-sufficiency.
You can find a link to a list of key WorkFirst partners and a description of the role they each play in the title of this section.
Local Area Planning
The WorkFirst program also instituted a formal process to coordinate between the state agencies and other WorkFirst partners. This process is called local area planning.
Washington State has been divided into local area planning groups. WorkFirst partners within each local area are held jointly accountable to work together and meet local area WorkFirst performance goals and targets. Each area's progress is measured and reported on a monthly basis.
We have included a link to the local area planning web page in the title of this section. If you visit this site you will find more information about local area planning groups and the monthly reports on their progress in meeting major WorkFirst targets and goals.
About the Handbook
The handbook was written by staff in the WorkFirst Divisions in the Employment Security Department and the Economic Services Administration of the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. Others contributing to the contents of this handbook include:
- The State Board for Community & Technical Colleges
- The Department of Commerce
- Workforce Development Councils
- Tribal Governments and other partners
Handbook chapters include. | |

The Tour Edge Men's Exotics CU Undercut 4-PW Iron Set is a perfect blend of classic feel and enhanced forgiveness. The CU's thin topline, medium-sized blade width, reduced progressive offset, and Tour-beveled sole inspire confidence to work the ball in any direction and land it close to the pin.
At the core of the CU iron's technology is its deep undercut cavity. The undercut moves weight away from the face and into the sole for a higher moment of inertia, a higher launch angle, and enhanced forgiveness. For better playability, the CU's cavity features extreme heel and toe weighting. The weighted areas in the heel and toe represent a significant portion of the sole's total weight. This added weight in the perimeter of the club improves accuracy on heel-toe hits while still allowing the player to feel and work each shot.
For the ideal level of workability and feel, the CU has reduced offset and a Tour-beveled sole. The bevel reduces the sole's contact with the ground, increasing its playability and allowing it to feel more like a forged blade.

Quality of Life |
Citizens & Communities
Dear Viewers and Listeners:
As the new school year gets underway, all of us at ETV are reminded that the "E" in ETV is central to what we do. ETV was founded as an education provider for the citizens of South Carolina, using the latest technologies available at the time. Today, 51 years later, the technology has changed, but the mission remains.
That's why we're thrilled to see the response to our first ever Educational Media Teacher of the Year Awards. We developed these awards as a way to recognize the important efforts by South Carolina teachers and schools in using technology in imaginative and effective ways.
Congratulations to our award winners: Lisa Holiman, Delmae Heights Elementary, Florence (Florence District One) and Ashley Lisa Rouse, Lincoln Middle-High, McClellanville (Charleston School District)
We also want to congratulate the many schools recognized for their efforts in using ETV's StreamlineSC and the variety of online and interactive resources this service provides.
When we presented the Educational Media Teacher of the Year Awards at ETV's Teacher Technology Conference in late July, I had an opportunity to talk with several teachers and administrators about how they used technology in the classroom. I was struck by some common threads—that ETV technology empowers teachers and their students, and it helps bring the world to the classroom. The stories about South Carolina make our state's history come alive and these stories help develop a sense of community and pride. And, bottom line, they said this technology is making a difference in narrowing the achievement gap.
We invite you to hear these comments and see more about the award winners at scetv.org/lifeline.

After the return from captivity, Haggai was sent to encourage the people to rebuild the temple, and to reprove their neglect. To encourage their undertaking, the people are assured that the glory of the second temple shall far exceed that of the first, by the appearing therein of Christ, the Desire of all nations.
Haggai reproves the Jews for neglecting the temple. (1-11) He promises God's assistance to them. (12-15)
Verses 1-11 Observe the sin of the Jews, after their return from captivity in Babylon. Those employed for God may be driven from their work by a storm, yet they must go back to it. They did not say that they would not build a temple, but, Not yet. Thus men do not say they will never repent and reform, and be religious, but, Not yet. And so the great business we were sent into the world to do, is not done. There is a proneness in us to think wrongly of discouragements in our duty, as if they were a discharge from our duty, when they are only for the trial of our courage and faith. They neglected the building of God's house, that they might have more time and money for worldly affairs. That the punishment might answer to the sin, the poverty they thought to prevent by not building the temple, God brought upon them for not building it. Many good works have been intended, but not done, because men supposed the proper time was not come. Thus believers let slip opportunities of usefulness, and sinners delay the concerns of their souls, till too late. If we labour only for the meat that perishes, as the Jews here, we are in danger of losing our labour; but we are sure it shall not be in vain in the Lord, if we labour for the meat which lasts to eternal life. If we would have the comfort and continuance of temporal enjoyments, we must have God as our Friend. See also ( Luke 12:33 ) . When God crosses our temporal affairs, and we meet with trouble and disappointment, we shall find the cause is, that the work we have to do for God and our own souls is left undone, and we seek our own things more than the things of Christ. How many, who plead that they cannot afford to give to pious or charitable designs, often lavish ten times as much in needless expenses on their houses and themselves! But those are strangers to their own interests, who are full of care to adorn and enrich their own houses, while God's temple in their hearts lies waste. It is the great concern of every one, to apply to the necessary duty of self-examination and communion with our own hearts concerning our spiritual state. Sin is what we must answer for; duty is what we must do. But many are quick-sighted to pry into other people's ways, who are careless of their own. If any duty has been neglected, that is no reason why it should still be so. Whatever God will take pleasure in when done, we ought to take pleasure in doing. Let those who have put off their return to God, return with all their heart, while there is time.
Verses 12-15 The people returned to God in the way of duty. In attending to God's ministers, we must have respect to him that sent them. The word of the Lord has success, when by his grace he stirs up our spirits to comply with it. It is in the day of Divine power we are made willing. When God has work to be done, he will either find or make men fit to do it. Every one helped, as his ability was; and this they did with a regard to the Lord as their God. Those who have lost time, need to redeem time; and the longer we have loitered in folly, the more haste we should make. God met them in a way of mercy. Those who work for him, have him with them; and if he be for us, who can be against us? This should stir us up to be diligent.
Haggai 1:1-15 . HAGGAI CALLS THE PEOPLE TO CONSIDER THEIR WAYS IN NEGLECTING TO BUILD GOD'S HOUSE: THE EVIL OF THIS NEGLECT TO THEMSELVES: THE HONOR TO GOD OF ATTENDING TO IT: THE PEOPLE'S PENITENT OBEDIENCE UNDER ZERUBBABEL FOLLOWED BY GOD'S GRACIOUS ASSURANCE.
1. second year of Darius--Hystaspes, the king of Medo-Persia, the second of the world empires, Babylon having been overthrown by the Persian Cyrus. The Jews having no king of their own, dated by the reign of the world kings to whom they were subject. Darius was a common name of the Persian kings, as Pharaoh of those of Egypt, and Cæsar of those of Rome. The name in the cuneiform inscriptions at Persepolis is written Daryawus, from the root Darh, "to preserve," the Conservator [LASSEN]. HERODOTUS [6.98] explains it Coercer. Often opposite attributes are assigned to the same god; in which light the Persians viewed their king. Ezra 4:24 harmonizes with Haggai in making this year the date of the resumption of the building.
sixth month--of the Hebrew year, not of Darius' reign (compare Zechariah 1:7 , Zechariah 7:1 Zechariah 7:3 , 8:19 ). Two months later ("the eighth month," Zechariah 1:1 ) Zechariah began to prophesy, seconding Haggai.
the Lord--Hebrew, JEHOVAH: God's covenant title, implying His unchangeableness, the guarantee of His faithfulness in keeping His promises to His people.
by Haggai--Hebrew, "in the hand of Haggai"; God being the real speaker, His prophet but the instrument (compare Acts 7:35 , Galatians 3:19 ).
Zerubbabel--called also Shesh-bazzar in Ezra 1:8 , Ezra 5:14 Ezra 5:16 , where the same work is attributed to Shesh-bazzar that in Ezra 3:8 is attributed to Zerubbabel. Shesh-bazzar is probably his Chaldean name; as Belteshazzar was that of Daniel. Zerubbabel, his Hebrew name, means "one born in Babylon."
son of Shealtiel--or Salathiel. But 1 Chronicles 3:17 1 Chronicles 3:19 makes Pedaiah his father. Probably he was adopted by his uncle Salathiel, or Shealtiel, at the death of his father (compare Matthew 1:12 , Luke 3:27 ).
governor of Judah--to which office Cyrus had appointed him. The Hebrew Pechah is akin to the original of the modern Turkish Pasha; one ruling a region of the Persian empire of less extent than that under a satrap.
Joshua--called Jeshua ( Ezra 2:2 ); so the son of Nun in Nehemiah 8:17 .
Josedech--or Jehozadak ( 1 Chronicles 6:15 ), one of those carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar. Haggai addresses the civil and the religious representatives of the people, so as to have them as his associates in giving God's commands; thus priest, prophet, and ruler jointly testify in God's name.
2. the Lord of hosts--Jehovah, Lord of the powers of heaven and earth, and therefore requiring implicit obedience.
This people--"This" sluggish and selfish "people." He does not say, My people, since they had neglected the service of God.
The time--the proper time for building the temple. Two out of the seventy predicted years of captivity (dating from the destruction of the temple, 558 B.C., 2 Kings 25:9 ) were yet unexpired; this they make their plea for delay [HENDERSON]. The seventy years of captivity were completed long ago in the first year of Cyrus, 536 B.C. ( Jeremiah 29:10 ); dating from 606 B.C., Jehoiakim's captivity ( 2 Chronicles 36:6 ). The seventy years to the completion of the temple ( Jeremiah 25:12 ) were completed this very year, the second of Darius [VATABLUS]. Ingenious in excuses, they pretended that the interruption in the work caused by their enemies proved it was not yet the proper time; whereas their real motive was selfish dislike of the trouble, expense, and danger from enemies. "God," say they, "hath interposed many difficulties to punish our rash haste" [CALVIN]. Smerdis' interdict was no longer in force, now that Darius the rightful king was on the throne; therefore they had no real excuse for not beginning at once to build. AUBERLEN denies that by "Artaxerxes" in Ezra 4:7-22 is meant Smerdis. Whether Smerdis or Artaxerxes Longimanus be meant, the interdict referred only to the rebuilding of the city, which the Persian kings feared might, if rebuilt, cause them trouble to subdue; not to the rebuilding of the temple. But the Jews were easily turned aside from the work. Spiritually, like the Jews, men do not say they will never be religious, but, It is not time yet. So the great work of life is left undone.
4. Is it time--It is not time ( Haggai 1:2 ), ye say, to build Jehovah's house; yet how is it that ye make it a fit time not only to build, but to "dwell" at ease in your own houses?
you, O ye--rather, for "you, you"; the repetition marking the shameful contrast between their concern for themselves, and their unconcern for God [MAURER]. Compare a similar repetition in 1 Samuel 25:24 , Zechariah 7:5 .
ceiled--rather, "wainscoted," or "paneled," referring to the walls as well as the ceilings; furnished not only with comfort but luxury, in sad contrast to God's house not merely unadorned, but the very walls not raised above the foundations. How different David's feelings ( 2 Samuel 7:2 )!
5. Consider your ways--literally, "Set your heart" on your ways. The plural implies, Consider both what ye have done (actively, Lamentations 3:40 ) and what ye have suffered (passively) [JEROME]. Ponder earnestly whether ye have gained by seeking self at the sacrifice of God.
6. Nothing has prospered with you while you neglected your duty to God. The punishment corresponds to the sin. They thought to escape poverty by not building, but keeping their money to themselves; God brought it on them for not building ( Proverbs 13:7 , 11:24 , Matthew 6:33 ). Instead of cheating God, they had been only cheating themselves.
ye clothe . . . but . . . none warm--through insufficiency of clothing; as ye are unable through poverty from failure of your crops to purchase sufficient clothing. The verbs are infinitive, implying a continued state: "Ye have sown, and been bringing in but little; ye have been eating, but not to being satisfied; ye have been drinking, but not to being filled; ye have been putting on clothes, but not to being warmed" [MOORE]. Careful consideration of God's dealings with us will indicate God's will regarding us. The events of life are the hieroglyphics in which God records His feelings towards us, the key to which is found in the Bible [MOORE].
wages . . . put . . . into a bag with holes--proverbial for labor and money spent profitlessly ( Zechariah 8:10 ; compare Isaiah 55:2 , Jeremiah 2:13 ). Contrast, spiritually, the "bags that wax not old, the treasure in heaven that faileth not" ( Luke 12:33 ). Through the high cost of necessaries, those who wrought for a day's wages parted with them at once, as if they had put them into a bag with holes.
8. Go up to the mountain--Moriah [ROSENMULLER]; Lebanon [HENDERSON]. Rather, generally, the mountains around, now covered with wood, the growth of the long period of the captivity. So Nehemiah 8:15 , "Go forth unto the mount," that is, the neighboring hills [MAURER].
wood--Haggai specifies this as being the first necessary; not to the exclusion of other materials. Stones also were doubtless needed. That the old walls were not standing, as the Hebrew interpreters quoted by JEROME state, or the new walls partly built, appears from Haggai 2:18 , where express mention is made of laying the foundations.
I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified--I will be propitious to suppliants in it ( 1 Kings 8:30 ), and shall receive the honor due to Me which has been withheld. In neglecting the temple, which is the mirror of My presence, ye dishonor Me [CALVIN]; in its being built, ye shall glorify Me.
9. Ye looked for much--literally "looked" so as to turn your eyes "to much." The Hebrew infinitive here expresses continued looking. Ye hoped to have your store made "much" by neglecting the temple. The greater was your greediness, the more bitter your disappointment in being poorer than ever.
when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it--even the little crop brought into your barns I dissipated. "I did blow upon," that is, I scattered and caused to perish with My mere breath, as scattered and blighted corn.
mine house . . . his own house--in emphatic antithesis.
ye run--expressing the keenness of everyone of them in pursuing their own selfish interests. Compare "run," Psalms 119:32 , Proverbs 1:16 , contrasted with their apathy about God's house.
10. heaven . . . is stayed from dew--literally "stays itself." Thus heaven or the sky is personified; implying that inanimate nature obeys Jehovah's will; and, shocked at His people's disobedience, withholds its goods from them (compare Jeremiah 2:12 Jeremiah 2:13 ).
11. I called--what the "heaven" and "earth," the second causes, were said to do ( Haggai 1:10 ), being the visible instruments, Jehovah, in this verse, the invisible first cause, declares to be His doing. He "calls for" famine, &c., as instruments of His wrath ( 2 Kings 8:1 , Psalms 105:16 ). The contrast is striking between the prompt obedience of these material agencies, and the slothful disobedience of living men, His people.
drought--Hebrew, Choreb, like in sound to Chareeb, "waste" ( Haggai 1:4 Haggai 1:9 ), said of God's house; implying the correspondence between the sin and its punishment. Ye have let My house be waste, and I will send on all that is yours a wasting drought. This would affect not merely the "corn," &c., but also "men" and "cattle," who must perish in the absence of the "corn," &c., lost by the drought.
labour of the hands--all the fruits of lands, gardens, and vineyards, obtained by labor of the hands ( Deuteronomy 28:33 , Psalms 78:46 ).
12. remnant of the people--all those who have returned from the exile ( Zechariah 8:6 ).
as . . . God sent him--according to all that Jehovah had enjoined him to speak. But as it is not till Haggai 1:14 after Haggai's second message ( Haggai 1:13 ) that the people actually obeyed, MAURER translates here, "hearkened to the voice of the Lord," and instead of "as," "because the Lord had sent him." However, English Version rightly represents their purpose of obedience as obedience in God's eyes already, though not carried into effect till Haggai 1:14 .
13. the Lord's messenger--so the priests ( Malachi 2:7 ) are called (compare Galatians 4:14 , 2 Peter 1:21 ).
in the Lord's message--by the Lord's authority and commission: on the Lord's embassage.
I am with you--( Matthew 28:20 ). On the people showing the mere disposition to obey, even before they actually set to work, God passes at once from the reproving tone to that of tenderness. He hastens as it were to forget their former unfaithfulness, and to assure them, when obedient, that He both is and will be with them: Hebrew, "I with you!" God's presence is the best of blessings, for it includes all others. This is the sure guarantee of their success no matter how many their foes might be ( Romans 8:31 ). Nothing more inspirits men and rouses them from torpor, than, when relying on the promises of divine aid, they have a sure hope of a successful issue [CALVIN].
14. Lord stirred up the spirit of, &c.--God gave them alacrity and perseverance in the good work, though slothful in themselves. Every good impulse and revival of religion is the direct work of God by His Spirit.
came and did work--collected the wood and stones and other materials (compare Haggai 1:8 ) for the work. Not actually built or "laid the (secondary) foundations" of the temple, for this was not done till three months after, namely, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month ( Haggai 2:18 ) [GROTIUS].
15. four and twentieth day--twenty-three days after the first message of Haggai ( Haggai 1:1 ).

Lena Dunham Takes a Stab At the 'Bougie Nightmare' Of Working In Startups
It's been said that if Sex And The City were still on the air, Carrie would be dating a startup dude. (For related theories on how George Costanza would deal with Snapchat, please see @ModernSeinfeld.)
Lucky for Lena Dunham that her Brooklyn-based take on entitlement coincides with the rise of New York's nouveau tech riches. We already saw boho babe Jessa slum it with a square venture capitalist. (Factcheck on his "Steal My Sunshine" mash-up, though: In real life, VCs are much more partial to posting indie rock or dad rock on their Tumblr. And we're sorry to report you probably picked the same song of the year.) Read More

text: The primary difference between a lip stain and a lipstick or gloss is that a stain actually acts as a temporary "dye" to saturate your lips with color, whereas a lipstick or gloss is more or less like applying a colored "wax" to your lips. A lip stain will typically last longer than a lipstick or gloss and is designed to be waterproof once it has dried. Because they act as a dye rather than a wax, lip stains will also not smear, stain, wear unevenly or rub off on your teeth. Some lip stains are made to multi-task, as they can be used to add color to your cheeks as well. Available in tubes with applicator tops allowing you to roll or brush the stain on, lip stains are also available in pots and can be applied with a cosmetic brush or with a finger. For a glossier, glamorous look, you can wear a lip stain with a gloss or lipstick over it. Choose from a selection of lip stains that will add beautiful color to your smile, with moisturizing essential oils to soothe and condition your lips as they plump.

- The sejugal furrow in camel spiders and acariform mites (2012)
- Camel spiders (Arachnida: Solifugae) are one of the arachnid groups characterised by a prosomal dorsal shield composed of three distinct elements: the pro-, meso- and metapeltidium. These are associated respectively with prosomal appendages one to four, five, and six. What is less well known, although noted in the historical literature, is that the coxae of the 4th and 5th prosomal segments (i.e. walking legs 2 and 3) of camel spiders are also separated ventrally by a distinct membranous region, which is absent between the coxae of the other legs. We suggest that this essentially ventral division of the prosoma specifically between coxae 2 and 3 is homologous with the so-called sejugal furrow (the sejugal interval sensu van der Hammen). This division constitutes a fundamental part of the body plan in acariform mites (Arachnida: Acariformes). If homologous, this sejugal furrow could represent a further potential synapomorphy for (Solifugae + Acariformes); a relationship with increasing morphological and molecular support. Alternatively, outgroup comparison with sea spiders (Pycnogonida) and certain early Palaeozoic fossils could imply that the sejugal furrow defines an older tagma, derived from a more basal grade of organisation. In this scenario the (still) divided prosoma of acariform mites and camel spiders would be plesiomorphic. This interpretation challenges the textbook arachnid character of a peltidium (or 'carapace') covering an undivided prosoma.
- Faunistic spider collections in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin: The collection of Erich Hesse (2012)
- The 'Hesse collection' of spiders (Araneae) and harvestmen (Opiliones) in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is documented. Biographical notes on Erich Hesse – a former arachnid curator at the museum (1921–1940) – are provided. The 'Hesse collection' was actually put together by other workers, and can be broadly divided into two parts. One comes from Bielinek (= Bellinchen) on the Polish side of the Oder Valley (West Pommerania); now part of the 'Unteres Odertal' National Park. This Bielinek material includes notable records of Heriaeus oblongus Simon, 1918 and Gibbaranea ullrichi (Hahn, 1835). The other part of the collection comes from Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Notable here are Pistius truncatus (Pallas, 1772) and Philodromus buchari Kubcová, 2004; the latter representing the first record of this species for Saxony-Anhalt.
- The first fossil cyphophthalmid harvestman from Baltic amber (2011)
- The first fossil cyphophthalmid harvestman (Opiliones: Cyphophthalmi) from Palaeogene (Eocene) Baltic amber is described. This is only the third fossil example of this basal harvestman lineage; the others being from the probably slightly younger Bitterfeld amber and the much older, early Cretaceous, Myanmar (Burmese) amber. Although incomplete and lacking most of the appendages, the new Baltic amber fossil can be identified as a female. The somatic characters preserved, especially spiracle morphology and the coxo-genital region, allow it to be assigned with some confidence to the extant genus Siro Latreille, 1796 (Sironidae). This fossil is formally described here as Siro balticus sp. nov. It resembles modern North American Siro species more than modern European ones, and can be distinguished principally on its relatively large size and the outline form of the body.

My fist post will be short. Limited time right now, btu I thought it'd be good to get this off my mind.
Everyone, please share with us your feeligns towards Magic The Gathering!
One card per turn = much of your deck space needs to be built around that first harsh barrier. One card per turn also keeps the one that is on top on top more likely than the others (less chance of drawing that 'answer' card if you're just drawing one per turn).
Land (and one land per turn) = the linear mana drop is boring to me, and if you miss the curve chances are you're in serious trouble. About 50% of the games of mtg i've played of late have been won or lost as a result of mana screw. This is compounded by the fact that we are only drawing one card per turn. Add in the fact that 20ish cards in one's deck are predetermined (land) add in that at the end game, you really don't want to draw that land (unless you've ALSO packed in a few cards AND HAVE IN PLAY the things that make drawing land late a good thing... which takes up another few spots in your deck that is already 1/3 NOT YOUR CHOICE (land))... yeah. land.
Money for prizes: Money in game's has a tendency to ruin games... this it almost does. Many MtG players have the pro tour attitude, and it grates on my nerves (maybe I need new nerves? maybe I need a new game).
Too many formats: I show up to play magic, i bring a standard deck. I look for a game, and I have to wander around saying "ok whose got a standard deck" ... "Oh no sorry man. I've got a type 1.5 deck. I'll play you with that!" "oh sorry, I've got a legacy deck, can't do that" "oh my decks a type 1, I'll annihilate you turn one. But you're welcome to try!" "um... what? what's a standard deck? (essentially thsi last player plays Magic the Gatherings most famous format, type whatever)".
Feel free to expand on these concepts. Why i still respet magic to follow (along with more things I hate about it).

There's nothing like popping a piece of minty fresh gum into your mouth after a spicy meal, or even just for a mid-day pick me up. Normally I'm not a fan of peppermint-flavored gum and candy - the taste is often too strong for me. I couldn't help but notice, however, the Stride Gum Sweet Peppermint flavor. Sweet, you say? Does that mean it won't overpower my taste buds, which are so used to spearmint? I picked up a pack of this sugar-free gum for $1.29 to check it out.
The taste is not as great as Spearmint, but it's a wonderful change of pace. I surprised myself with this one - a peppermint I actually like! Gum is low-calorie to begin with, and this is no exception, because it's made with artificial sweeteners (aspartame). Each piece has just 3.5 calories, and 1 serving is 2 pieces - 7 calories, no fat, no sodium, no sugar (but 1 gram of sugar alcohols), and no protein.
The ingredients are sorbitol, gum base, mannitol, xylitol, glycerin, natural & artificial flavors, aspartame, acesulfame K, soy lecithin, blue 2 lake titanium dioxide (color), blue lake 1, and BHT (to maintain freshness).
That ingredients list does leave something to be desired, so I must search for a more natural chewing gum - any recommendations?! For now, I really enjoyed the taste of Stride Sweet Peppermint Gum, and it really does have long-lasting flavor. I plan to try a few more flavors to see which I like best. Did I mention that I tend to chew gum a lot?!

And these are the famous 'Travelling Roses'' of Spain. I shot this image in the beautiful gardens of the Al Hamra....
My first column in the series : Once Upon a Time with Shobhaa De - Doobara.
M'am , Maybe if u did meet. You could have said-This town ain't big enough for the two of us!' If he is D-Man, than you are D-Gal! Mrs. De we could have a superhero type movie on this? I mean both of you are still surviving in a very cut throat industry ya?
Like The Idea Isn't "Doobara"
Karan Chopra, Editor – I2Mag/JustWP.org
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at such a meeting. Never mind that I would probably have been a fly, squashed by a henchman with the butt of a revolver... on the wall.
Why, oh why, didn't you stick to your guns and make the meeting happen Never mind the Doobara publicity tie in... this story of an almost meeting is exciting and the possibilities were endless. In my eyes you are a journalist who stands by her opinions and her view of the truth so I wish you had. If we do not know what and how he thinks and justifies his actions, how are we to counter him. I think he would have welcomed a meeting with you too for his own strange reasons.
This blog can change ur life.
revered and loved?
Can't understand how people glorify crap. A f......gandu (coward) who uses henchmen to do his dirty work that is kill and maime innocents. How can any one crave to meet such a slimeball from the gutters. If he is a real man he should stand in front of another man and shoot from the hip, or meet in the ring, not kill people who cannot defend themselves.

In order to prepare leaders to engage more fully in healing ministries, Wesley Theological Seminary has launched the Heal the Sick Program. Through this community-based ministry collaboration, Wesley Theological Seminary will equip ministry leaders who will support congregations' development of health ministries and link such ministries with hospitals, community organizations, public health institutions, and health care providers. Modeled after promising practices in other communities, we believe that collaboration among health ministries and with these providers will reduce health disparities, particularly reaching out to the poor and improving the health of those in greatest need.
If you would like more information about the Heal the Sick program or would like to work with us in the District of Columbia, Greater Baltimore or Northern Virginia regions, please email us at email@example.com or call 202-706-6838.
Equip - Prepare leaders for various roles as collaborator, listener, coordinator, and critical thinker in promoting health and healing
Support - Assist congregations' health ministries and help develop their role to discern their direction and partners
Catalyze - Initiate network creation or support existing networks among congregations, hospitals, and associations
Serve - Work as facilitator for sustaining communication and collaboration among local leaders to serve the common good.
Today there is a need for wholistic health, personally and communally. Having an active health ministry meets at the intersection of theological reflection and practical application.
A health ministry is a faith-based initiative that promotes wholeness. Health ministry educates and empowers individuals and communities by emphasizing the need for health education and preventative care. A form of health ministry might already exist in your congregation as part of your faith community's healing mission. A health ministry can be built from existing ministries that attempt to care for the whole person. Those ministries may include social justice, religious education, volunteer visitors, hospitality, and youth ministries. Working together, members of a congregation can greatly improve the health of their members as well as the entire community.

There are numerous models of health ministry. Below you will find a sample list of five different models that can be used as part of a faith community's health ministry. We encourage you to look at your faith community's current structure and existing ministries. Find ways to improve coordination and communications among all ministries by forming an organized health ministry. Find a model that works best for you, your faith community, and your community.
Health ministers and faith community nurses often play key roles in health and wellness ministries. Health ministries actively supported by clergy meet regularly to discuss and plan health activities that benefit the congregation as well as the community. A sample of health ministry activities may include support groups, speakers on specific topics, visitation ministries, and advocacy efforts.
Wesley Theological Seminary is a catalyst in the development of a program of faith and community-based health in the District of Columbia, greater Baltimore, and greater Northern Virginia. The Heal the Sick Program is adapted from the transformative congregational health network model pioneered by Methodist LeBonheur Hospital system in Memphis, Tennessee known as the Memphis Community Health Network.
Through the Heal the Sick Program, Wesley equips faith community leaders who will support congregations' development of health ministries and organize the community toward healthier lifestyles that reduce health disparities and poverty caused by chronic disease. This will be accomplished by bringing congregations and community organizations together with primary health care providers in relationships that promote wholistic health for the community, prevents disease and reduces hospital visits/readmissions.
If you would like more information about regional networks, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 202-706-6838.

Congregations are healing places where we learn about the presence of God in our lives. As Wesley develops future clergy and lay leaders, it is important they know about the practical multitude of challenges that congregations face today. As a seminary and an educational institution, it is important to us at Wesley that we journey as a collaborative partner with congregations. Wesley hopes to offer our educational assets as a means for current clergy and lay leaders to grow and development. Wesley desires to build and support health ministries and connect them to congregational networks so congregations, Wesley, and community organizations can learn together and support each other.
A limited number of congregational consultations are available with our Heal the Sick program throughout the Fall, Winter, and Spring. The goals of the consultations are to help faith communities assess and evaluate their internal and external ministries, structures and relationships. Wesley Heal the Sick staff and Wesley students conduct the face to face consultation with a faith community's leadership. The consultation uses a fourteen question rating tool that can be e-mailed prior to a scheduled face to face interview. The interview at the congregation takes about two hours to complete. After two weeks, a summary report is compiled and sent with recommendations to the faith community.
