On September 23, 2012, Queens Taekwon-do Center hosted the XVII ITF New York Taekwon-do ITF Tournament at Queens College in Flushing, New York. In attendance approximately 300 competitors from over 30 schools, visiting from a number of States across the U.S., as well as Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Sweden, Tajikistan, and Canada.
The opening ceremony commenced with a salute to our national anthem, followed by the introduction of the individual schools and their instructors/masters and presentation of the board of directors of the NTA-ITF after which everyone took their positions to proceed with the activities of the day.
The performance of the competitors was outstanding, as was the enthusiasm of all participants, especially the children who were eager to compete for their medals and 1st place trophies. Particular recognition should be given to all referees, judges, and assistants, whose work has continued to excel over the years, helping to make for a better tournament each year.
The tournament began at 10 A.M., ending at 7:30, and for the 17th year, it was another victory for the ITF New York Taekwon-Do ITF Tournament. Master Ruben Suarez 8th degree would like to extend his gratitude to all participants and supporters who helped to carry out this continued success.

Let's defend the Ryan Braun deal!
milwaukee brewers April 22nd, 2011
Think you've heard the last from me on Ryan Braun? NO WAY! We got another nine years of this stuff! (Or at least another eight months of this stuff.)
A lot of people are saying the deal is a mistake and some people are saying that it's one of the worst deals in all of baseball. Those people are all stupid. This deal is risky, but it's also smart. Re-signing Ryan Braun to this deal is the best thing the Brewers could have done.
Why? Three reasons: Read the rest of this entry »

New player. Picked up Warhammer Invasion a few months ago and got hooked on the LCC's. Just got AGOT and CoC this week. Enjoying all three.

I would venture to guess that most of GoT's community got into it because the novels were so great. I know that's how I found the game and why I love playing it. That world is so brutal and gritty. I bought the board game and it had a flier advertising the CCG and I was scared because I knew how devastating to my pocket book a CCG could be. I put it off for about a year, then finally broke down on my birthday in Lansing and bought a local store out of all of their I&F starter packs. Valerian was in cycle at the time and with ktom and the community's help we figured out how to get current and then blam! Next thing we know, we're buying tons of cards and playing tourneys! Great fun, met so many wonderful people playing this game.
Posted 06 May 2010 - 03:41 PM
For me as well it was the novels I read 3 years ago. I am a new LCG player. The SOIAF flavor gives the game a giddy factor. And of course, HBO, etc. I am a big fan of the related art FFG produces. I would imagine it'd be similar with the Warcraft fantasy theme, and even Lovecraft, both of which I am curious about. Having local people to play with has been key to my interest in the game. A GRRM fan who also likes playing cards? That's quality people.
Posted 20 May 2010 - 04:26 PM
Have so far read all the books and was looking into the CCG before realising that it had been converted to the LCG format (not much information on it in Australia). Had my first game last night with a group of friends who have also read the books - gotta say was really impressed and played out in some situations as crazily and brutally as some of the books.
Definitely looking at expanding my collection and having some huge AGoT melee nights.
Posted 02 June 2010 - 01:21 PM
Always been a huge fan of the series, read it many a time.
I'm looking at getting in the core set soon and seeing who I can get hooked in my area to play!
Fingers crossed!
Posted 07 June 2010 - 09:20 AM
Finished the first 2 books (working on the next 2, figure I have time considering how long the 5th book is taking)
Bought the core set last week, was able to get a full 4 player game going yesterday. Only 1 of my 3 opponents had read the books, but the other 2 are very much into the genre. I let them pick their houses first (big mistake as I wanted to play Stark first). I ended up playing Baratheon, which ended up being quite fun. The rules were easy to follow, and after the first 2-3 rounds, we were off to the races (only flipping through the book for quick clarifications now and then). Have to say, I am quite impressed with the way the Houses were designed, and how most of the characters' powers are spot on to their behaviors in the books! That must have been quite the effort!
Now i'm on the hunt for the Princes and Kings expansions to get Martell and Greyjoy into the mix... as well as some of the "must have" chapter packs i'm reading about
Anyway, enough about me as a new player, hope to be here for quite some time!
Posted 21 June 2010 - 11:27 AM
Alright, now that I've actually gotten the chance to play this game I think I can call myself a new player.
I have actually not read any of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels (I know Martin more for the Wild Cards series), though i have read "The Hedge Knight", which was excellent.
Only two jousts so far, which were fun, though I look forward to trying melee. If I can get together a regular play group I'll look at expanding my collection but for now the Core set is sufficient for my needs.

I used to play a lot in the past, and I like to think I was pretty good back in the days of Ice and Fire. I'm finding more and more that I love the LCG format so much. I also play Warhammer: Invasion, but AGOT has stunned me recently with some of the cards that came out. A big thanks to Nate French for the direction the game is taking - you're a stand-up person if ever there was one.
I really like the strategy this game provides, and I like coming up with unique strategies that people haven't seen or imagined.
I'm always up for games on OCTGN. You can add me on Facebook if you'd like, or hit me up on Google Talk/gmail at firstname.lastname@example.com. That's my email on FB, too.

Tried a few rounds of the print-and-play mini-version from the 'support' page, and am now waiting for my Core Set to arrive in the post. Have read all the books so far, and from what I've seen I like the way they've captured the different characters and houses. Looking forward to playing properly.
Posted 17 August 2010 - 06:45 AM
Well I have been collecting this since last year when I started with W:I too. But just started playing it last week with a friend and then taught another friend home from out West. We seem to like this one better than W:I. So guess I am new as just started playing it last week.
Posted 28 August 2010 - 12:26 PM
Congratulations to the AGOT design Team.
Here's why: Tomorrow's my birthday. I decided that I'd like to try a LCG. I was torn between W:I and CoC. I asked my wife about them, and unsurprisingly she was drawn to Lord of the Rings. But with that months and month away, I showed her the video tutorials to W:I and CoC. She reckoned they looked okay and cool (in that order), but then to my surprise she pointed to AGOT and said,
"Tell me about that one."
After watching THOSE video Tutorials and discussion about themes and what the Martin novels are like.. she said AGOT looked awesome (behind the cooperative nature of Lord of the Rings).
So one Core Set is in the mail right now. You sold a box.

Just picked up the core set and awaiting my first few chapter packs to arrive @ my FLGS soon.
The LCG format was what really hooked me. No more getting burned by having to buy random boosters to get the good cards!
I'm hoping to entice more people in my area to play as well.
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:23 AM
consider this my shoutout. i'm back baby!
also, matt "themountainthatpwns"!? where have you been man!?
Posted 11 September 2010 - 03:38 PM
I'm coming back! Confused about the whole LCG thing b/c I was playing when it was a CCG. But i'll figure it out.

Toyota Venza in Flames
A friend drove into work in her 2009 Venza. As she parked. the engine went up in flames. She's okay, but the vehicle isn't. This just happened today 4-15-2010 in front of scores people. Has anyone else had this problem? Toyota says there isn't a problem.
marvin6 Posts: 72Too bad it caught fire.. would have been more beneficial if it had suddenly accelerated or something more beneficial to the owner. I think a very large portion of the toyota problem is related to the new american dream - "get rich quick without working for it". Sooo if you can't win the lottery maybe you can sue somebody. Somebody with deep pockets like Toyota.
kmw52 Posts: 2You're out of gas. My girlfriend and her husband have no intention of suing Toyota or anyone else. The plan: They have put in an insurance claim and they will let the insurance company settle with Toyota. Meanwhile, my girlfriend still wants her Venza. He husband had given it to her only a few months before as a surprise birthday present and she still wants one, just not one that bursts into flames, And by the way, all the action (flames and all) took place on the grounds of a prison as people were coming into work, so it is not only on tape, but the witnesses are all police and corrections officers. It shows my girlfriend leaving the car and entering the prison just minutes before the thing would have been a death trap or did you want her to die?
halwick Posts: 45Hmmm. This story is getting better...and more intriguing. Sounds more like a case of sabotage, than a defective car. I'm not saying by whom, or implying anything, but it just sounds suspicious that it happened on prison grounds. The insurance investigator's findings should be very interesting. Good luck with your claim.
md_outback Posts: 185One potential cause that happened to my daughter's Nissan Rogue recently: I noticed some smoke coming from the engine area (hot engine) and opened the hood to find what appeared to be an animal nest made up of dried grass and twigs near the exhaust manifold. I was able to remove it before it flamed, but I could see where this could have been much worse. Something like this could happen to any vehicle, so it's a good idea to look under the hood on a regular basis.

wayne21 Posts: 234I'm sure there are lots of fires every year, but to just post a claim about a car burning then opt not to post a clipping of it (at the request of another poster) or state where the fire took place (other than a prison - lots of those in the US, too) leaves me to to question the validity of the post. Until I see a link to an article giving credit to the spontaneous venza fire I will have to raise the "bs" flag. I would, however, like to see the article if such an event did take place as I'm sure it would have been all over the news. At the time of the original post, toyota was taking a blood bath in the press and it is beyond me how I could have possibly missed this article or the venza owners posting on this site could have missed that article.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,409There's actually three "fire" posts in this small discussion (one "potential" one was snuffed out in a Nissan).
There's a couple of other Venza ones on the net, but if you want news stories about them, the fire either needs to be local to you or involve the house burning down as a result - even then it takes a burning Fisher Karma to make the national news.
Kind of glad I have a detached garage.Moderator

Not Your Mother's PTA
In Friday's New York Times, reporter Winnie Hu writes that traditional PTAs/PTOs "have evolved into sophisticated multitiered organizations bearing little resemblance to the mom-and-pop groups that ran bake sales a generation ago." ("Spreadsheets and Power Plays: PTAs Go Way Beyond Cookies"). Hu says that PTAs/PTOs have become more high-powered because the membership is increasingly made up of former executives who are now stay-at-home parents and who sometimes have their own agenda, which she argues can cause a power struggle between them and the school principal.
Gail Connelly, NAESP's chief operating officer, emphasizes principals' support of PTAs, noting that school leaders rely more than ever on parent groups. "Many principals may view it as a mixed blessing," said Connelly. "But the reality is they are willing to assume the added pressure because the PTA provides a wonderful forum for parent-principal partnerships to flourish—and that partnership brings tremendous resources to support the goals of the school community."
What do you think about Hu's take on the changing PTA? Have you experienced this in your school?
Why We Need Public Schools
Yes, we know it's a no-brainer, but you may find some interesting tidbits in the report "Why We Still Need Public Schools" that you can share with your staff and community members. The report highlights the history and importance of public education and examines six core missions of public schools, including the goal of providing an equal opportunity for millions of children. The Center on Education Policy's report is a great way to share what's right with our public schools and can be accessed at http://www.cep-dc.org/PublicSchoolFacts/why/.
Louisiana Principal Reflects on Integration
Terrific article in yesterday's Shreveport Times about Principal Cathleen Johnson's reflections on her tumultuous entry into the field of education. Johnson integrated Bossier Elementary in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1970 as the first African-American teacher and 37 years later she's still there—but now she's the principal. We can all find great inspiration in her story.
School Finds Million-Dollar Painting in Auditorium
A large painting of an Afghan tribesman has hung for decades in the auditorium of a Massachusetts elementary school. The school system's superintendent recently asked Sotheby's, the famous auction house, to appraise the work, "Afghans," by the Russian artist Alexandre Iacovlef. The school guessed the painting was worth about $1,000, but boy were they in for a big surprise. The painting is actually worth between $1 million to $2 million.
While the much higher price tag was good news, it also created a dilemma—how to insure the painting and protect it from thieves. The school says it cannot afford to keep the painting, even though that's what the donor wanted when he gave it to the school.
Now that spring is fast approaching, it might be time to do some spring cleaning and a schoolwide inventory. You never know, you might have an old Picasso lying around.
Number of Nationally Board Certified Teachers Reaches All-Time High
Speaking of NCLB and "highly qualified", there are now 55,000 nationally board certified teachers, three times the amount there were five years ago. While there is no direct correlation between national board teacher certification and improved student achievement, principals welcome teachers who seek additional certification that can help them move towards becoming a "highly qualified teacher."
For example, when Principal Jan Borelli took the helm of her school three years ago, the school had been on the state's low performing list for five years and had one nationally board certified teacher (NBCT) at the time. The school is now off of that list and has two NBCT's and four candidates who will know their results next fall. Borelli says the school also has three more teachers who have already applied for next year.
"I am not sure if there is a correlation between test scores and NBCT," says Borelli. "I do know, however, that they are excellent teachers who are constantly striving to improve."
Does your school have any NBCT's? If so, what impact has it had on teacher quality or student achievement?
NAESP's Response to the NCLB Commission Report
The Commission on No Child Left Behind, a bi-partisan group led by former Georgia Governor Roy E. Barnes, released a report this week with 75 recommendations for Congress as it prepares to reauthorize ESEA. The report, which some are calling an ambitious plan, provides recommendations that include the creation of a Highly Effective Principal category (which NAESP is opposed to); sanctions for teachers with poorly performing students; and the creation of new national standards and tests.
Click here to read NAESP's response to the Commission report.
Public School Principals Report on Their School Facilities
Principals discuss the conditions of their school buildings in a new report by the Ed Department's National Center for Education Statistics. The report looks at nine environmental factors in school buildings (including physical condition, air quality, air conditioning, and lighting) and the extent to which principals believe those factors are interfering with the ability to deliver instruction to students. The report also looks at approaches for coping with overcrowding and the ways in which schools use portable buildings.
The bottom line? Between 63 percent and 92 percent of principals are satisfied with their permanent buildings (depending on the environmental factors). Although close to half of the principals also indicated that at least one or more of the environmental factors interfered with instruction to some extent.
NAESP's Statement on the President's FY2008 Budget Proposal
With the upcoming ESEA reauthorization fresh on our minds, the $56 billion proposed in President Bush's Fiscal Year 2008 budget proposal for federal education programs is highly disappointing. Though the President has proposed an increase in Title I funding by $1.2 billion, for example, he has proposed cutting many other federal education programs, including the School Leadership Program. Click here to read NAESP's response to the President's budget proposal.
Who is that Masked Man?
Principals can be pretty creative when it comes to motivating their
students to learn. For 20 years, NAESP Board Member and Michigan principal Bill Rich has been visiting classrooms as "Zero the Hero" to inspire his K-1 students. When Zero the Hero is around, dates that end with a zero become very special days as the children become engaged in all types of counting activities.
"Like most schools, we have a big celebration for 100 Days, but it is important to celebrate each Zero Day to give the students a shorter time between celebrations," says Rich. "As the students become excited about an upcoming Zero Day, the teachers can use that motivation for asking questions about numbers during the daily calendar times. On Day 47, for example, teachers can ask questions like: "How many days since we last saw Zero?" or "How many times has Zero visited us this year?"
"While I have never admitted to a parent or student that I dress as Zero, I can't walk into our middle school or high school and not have students say, 'There goes Zero the Hero,'" says Rich. "We all do some crazy things to participate in the education of our students. Hopefully we can leave students with some enjoyable memories."
We Have a Winner!
NAESP created the Read Aloud Award this year to recognize and support quality children's books, develop a love of reading within students, and encourage principals to read to children. Principals from across the country voted for their favorite book from a list of nominated titles and (drum roll please)…NAESP's inaugural Read Aloud Award goes to The True Story of the Three Little Pigs! (written by Jon Scieszka and illustrated by Lane Smith), a memorable parody of the fairy tale, "The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf," told from the perspective of Alexander T. Wolf.
The presentation of the Read Aloud Award will be made during NAESP's Annual Convention and Exposition in Seattle on March 31 at 10 a.m.

The transfiguration of Christ. (1-13) Jesus casts out a dumb and deaf spirit. (14-21) He again foretells his sufferings. (22,23) He works a miracle to pay the tribute money. (24-27)
Verses 1-13 Now the disciples beheld somewhat of Christ's glory, as of the only begotten of the Father. It was intended to support their faith, when they would have to witness his crucifixion; and would give them an idea of the glory prepared for them, when changed by his power and made like him. The apostles were overcome by the glorious sight. Peter thought that it was most desirable to continue there, and to go no more down to meet the sufferings of which he was so unwilling to hear. In this he knew not what he said. We are wrong, if we look for a heaven here upon earth. Whatever tabernacles we propose to make for ourselves in this world, we must always remember to ask Christ's leave. That sacrifice was not yet offered, without which the souls of sinful men could not have been saved; and important services were to be done by Peter and his brethren. While Peter spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, an emblem of the Divine presence and glory. Ever since man sinned, and heard God's voice in the garden, unusual appearances of God have been terrible to man. They fell prostrate to the earth, till Jesus encouraged them; when looking round, they beheld only their Lord as they commonly saw him. We must pass through varied experiences in our way to glory; and when we return to the world after an ordinance, it must be our care to take Christ with us, and then it may be our comfort that he is with us.
Verses 14-21 The case of afflicted children should be presented to God by faithful and fervent prayer. Christ cured the child. Though the people were perverse, and Christ was provoked, yet care was taken of the child. When all other helps and succours fail, we are welcome to Christ, may trust in him, and in his power and goodness. See here an emblem of Christ's undertaking as our Redeemer. It encourages parents to bring children to Christ, whose souls are under Satan's power; he is able to heal them, and as willing as he is able. Not only bring them to Christ by prayer, but bring them to the word of Christ; to means by which Satan's strong-holds in the soul are beaten down. It is good for us to distrust ourselves and our own strength; but it is displeasing to Christ when we distrust any power derived from him, or granted by him. There was also something in the malady which rendered the cure difficult. The extraordinary power of Satan must not discourage our faith, but quicken us to more earnestness in praying to God for the increase of it. Do we wonder to see Satan's bodily possession of this young man from a child, when we see his spiritual possession of every son of Adam from the fall!
Verses 22-23 Christ perfectly knew all things that should befall him, yet undertook the work of our redemption, which strongly shows his love. What outward debasement and Divine glory was the life of the Redeemer! And all his humiliation ended in his exaltation. Let us learn to endure the cross, to despise riches and worldly honours, and to be content with his will.
Verses 24-27 Peter felt sure that his Master was ready to do what was right. Christ spoke first to give him proof that no thought can be withholden from him. We must never decline our duty for fear of giving offence; but we must sometimes deny ourselves in our worldly interests, rather than give offence. However the money was lodged in the fish, He who knows all things alone could know it, and only almighty power could bring it to Peter's hook. The power and the poverty of Christ should be mentioned together. If called by providence to be poor, like our Lord, let us trust in his power, and our God shall supply all our need, according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. In the way of obedience, in the course, perhaps, of our usual calling, as he helped Peter, so he will help us. And if any sudden call should occur, which we are not prepared to meet, let us not apply to others, till we first seek Christ.
Matthew 17:1-13 . JESUS IS TRANSFIGURED--CONVERSATION ABOUT ELIAS. ( = 9:2-13 Luke 9:28-36 ).
Matthew 17:14-23 . HEALING OF A DEMONIAC BOY--SECOND EXPLICIT ANNOUNCEMENT BY OUR LORD OF HIS APPROACHING DEATH AND RESURRECTION. ( = 9:14-32 , Luke 9:37-45 ).
The time of this section is sufficiently denoted by the events which all the narratives show to have immediately preceded it--the first explicit announcement of His death, and the transfiguration--both being between His third and His fourth and last Passover.
Healing of the Demoniac and Lunatic Boy ( Matthew 17:14-21 ).
For the exposition of this portion,
Second Announcement of His Death ( Matthew 17:22 Matthew 17:23 ).
22. And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them--Mark ( Mark 9:30 ), as usual, is very precise here: "And they departed thence"--that is, from the scene of the last miracle--"and passed through Galilee; and He would not that any man should know it." So this was not a preaching, but a private, journey through Galilee. Indeed, His public ministry in Galilee was now all but concluded. Though He sent out the Seventy after this to preach and heal, He Himself was little more in public there, and He was soon to bid it a final adieu. Till this hour arrived, He was chiefly occupied with the Twelve, preparing them for the coming events.
The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men . . . And they were exceeding sorry--Though the shock would not be so great as at the first announcement ( Matthew 16:21 Matthew 16:22 ), their "sorrow" would not be the less, but probably the greater, the deeper the intelligence went down into their hearts, and a new wave dashing upon them by this repetition of the heavy tidings. Accordingly, Luke ( Luke 9:43 Luke 9:44 ), connecting it with the scene of the miracle just recorded, and the teaching which arose out of it--or possibly with all His recent teaching--says our Lord forewarned the Twelve that they would soon stand in need of all that teaching: "But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, He said unto His disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears; for the Son of man shall be delivered," &c.: "Be not carried off your feet by the grandeur you have lately seen in Me, but remember what I have told you, and now tell you again, that that Sun in whose beams ye now rejoice is soon to set in midnight gloom." Remarkable is the antithesis in those words of our Lord preserved in all the three narratives--"The son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men." Luke adds ( Luke 9:45 ) that "they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not"--for the plainest statements, when they encounter long-continued and obstinate prejudices, are seen through a distorting and dulling medium--"and were afraid to ask Him"; deterred partly by the air of lofty sadness with which doubtless these sayings were uttered, and on which they would be reluctant to break in, and partly by the fear of laying themselves open to rebuke for their shallowness and timidity. How artless is all this!
Matthew 17:24-27 . THE TRIBUTE MONEY.
The time of this section is evidently in immediate succession to that of the preceding one. The brief but most pregnant incident which it records is given by Matthew alone--for whom, no doubt, it would have a peculiar interest, from its relation to his own town and his own familiar lake.
24. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money--the double drachma; a sum equal to two Attic drachmas, and corresponding to the Jewish "half-shekel," payable, towards the maintenance of the temple and its services, by every male Jew of twenty years old and upward. For the origin of this annual tax, see Exodus 30:13 Exodus 30:14 , 2 Chronicles 24:6 2 Chronicles 24:9 . Thus, it will be observed, it was not a civil, but an ecclesiastical tax. The tax mentioned in Matthew 17:25 was a civil one. The whole teaching of this very remarkable scene depends upon this distinction.
came to Peter--at whose house Jesus probably resided while at Capernaum. This explains several things in the narrative.
and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?--The question seems to imply that the payment of this tax was voluntary, but expected; or what, in modern phrase, would be called a "voluntary assessment."
25. He saith, yes--that is, "To be sure He does"; as if eager to remove even the suspicion of the contrary. If Peter knew--as surely he did--that there was at this time no money in the bag, this reply must be regarded as a great act of faith in his Master.
And when he was come into the house--Peter's.
Jesus prevented him--anticipated him; according to the old sense of the word "prevent."
saying, What thinkest thou, Simon?--using his family name for familiarity.
of whom do the kings of the earth take custom--meaning custom on goods exported or imported.
or tribute--meaning the poll-tax, payable to the Romans by everyone whose name was in the census. This, therefore, it will be observed, was strictly a civil tax.
of their own children, or of strangers--This cannot mean "foreigners," from whom sovereigns certainly do not raise taxes, but those who are not of their own family, that is, their subjects.
26. Peter saith unto him, Of strangers--"of those not their children."
Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free--By "the children" our Lord cannot here mean Himself and the Twelve together, in some loose sense of their near relationship to God as their common Father. For besides that our Lord never once mixes Himself up with His disciples in speaking of their relation to God, but ever studiously keeps His relation and theirs apart (see, for example, on the last words of this chapter)--this would be to teach the right of believers to exemption from the dues required for sacred services, in the teeth of all that Paul teaches and that He Himself indicates throughout. He can refer here, then, only to Himself; using the word "children" evidently in order to express the general principle observed by sovereigns, who do not draw taxes from their own children, and thus convey the truth respecting His own exemption the more strikingly:--namely, "If the sovereign's own family be exempt, you know the inference in My case"; or to express it more nakedly than Jesus thought needful and fitting: "This is a tax for upholding My Father's House. As His Son, then, that tax is not due by Me--I AM FREE."
27. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend--stumble.
them--all ignorant as they are of My relation to the Lord of the Temple, and should misconstrue a claim to exemption into indifference to His honor who dwells in it.
go thou to the sea--Capernaum, it will be remembered, lay on the Sea of Galilee.
and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shall find a piece of money--a stater. So it should have been rendered, and not indefinitely, as in our version, for the coin was an Attic silver coin equal to two of the afore-mentioned "didrachms" of half a shekel's value, and so, was the exact sum required for both. Accordingly, the Lord adds,
that take, and give unto them for me and thee--literally, "instead of Me and thee"; perhaps because the payment was a redemption of the person paid for ( Exodus 30:12 )--in which view Jesus certainly was "free." If the house was Peter's, this will account for payment being provided on this occasion, not for all the Twelve, but only for him and His Lord. Observe, our Lord does not say "for us," but "for Me and thee"; thus distinguishing the Exempted One and His non-exempted disciple.

The bird was most likely headed to Mexico for the winter.
The American White Pelican rivals the Trumpeter Swan as the longest bird native to North America. Both very large and plump, it has an overall length is about 50–70 in., courtesy of the huge beak. It has a wingspan of about 95–120 in. The species also has the second largest average wingspan of any North American bird, after the California Condor. The plumage is almost entirely bright white, except the black primary and secondary remiges, which are hardly visible except in flight.
There are more than half a dozen species of pelicans, but all of them have the famous throat pouch for which the birds are best known. These large birds use their elastic pouches to catch fish—though different species use it in different ways.
Pelicans are social birds and typically travel in flocks, often strung out in a line.
American White Pelicans nest in colonies of several hundred pairs on islands in remote brackish and freshwater lakes of inland North America. The most northerly nesting colony can be found on islands in the rapids of the Slave River between Fort Fitzgerald, Alberta and Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. About 10-20 percent of the population uses Gunnison Island in the Great Basin's Great Salt Lake as a nesting ground. The southernmost colonies are in southwestern Ontario and northeastern California.

In my family room I have a huge collection of food magazines going back about 15 years, mostly Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Fine Cooking, with some assorted issues of other publications. My magazines are arranged by month, and when a new month starts, I love to look at the past issues for that month to see what recipes the magazines were featuring at that time of year. It's been cold and rainy in Salt Lake for a few weeks now, so when I looked at the magazines for May, this recipe for Spicy Red Fish Stew from Bon Appetit, May 2004, was the one that jumped out at me.
Saute the red onion or shallots in olive oil until they're soft and starting to brown.
While the pepper-tomato mixture simmers, zest a lemon and chop the cilantro.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and some of the chopped cilantro to the mixture.
Then add the fish pieces and stir just enough so the fish is gently combined in the mixture.
Spicy Red Fish Stew
(Makes 2 generous servings, recipe can easily be doubled. Adapted from Spicy Red Fish Stew by Meriel McDonald for Bon Appetit Magazine, May 2004.)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion or shallot
1 T olive oil
1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with juice
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (I used Aleppo pepper; use more if you like it spicy)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus more for garnish if desired)
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
8-10 oz. cod, halibut, or tilapia fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in small frying pan, add chopped red onion or shallot and saute over medium heat about 3-4 minutes, until onions are soft and starting to brown. Add chopped red bell peppers, diced tomatoes with juice, finely minced fresh garlic, and red pepper flakes. Let mixture simmer 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until garlic is cooked and flavors are well-blended.
While stew mixture simmers, zest and juice the lemon, and chop the cilantro. Cut fish fillets into 1 inch pieces and blot dry with paper towel if needed.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to stew mixture, then add fish pieces and gently stir to combine. Let stew simmer 5-7 minutes or until fish is barely turning opaque and some liquid from the fish is being released into the stew. Stir again, season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper and serve hot, with additional chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.

LaTroy Hawkins? I know that guy
Baseball December 9th, 2009
The Brewers are said to be HOT AND HEAVY after have signed LaTroy Hawkins and I can't help but think that his name sounds really familiar to me. Not in the positive sense. After much searching of my apartment and underneath my trophy case of women's left socks and earlobes, I found it. My favorite book ever written about the Chicago Cubs, Wrigleyworld, that Latroy Hawkins is a big star of. A few choice quotes.
General Manager Jim Hendry did nothing to address the anemic bullpen, instead calling on LaTroy Hawkins for another season.
Especially not today. The Cubs take a 3-2 lead into the top of the ninth, but closer LaTroy Hawkins surrenders the tying run and the game goes into extra innings.
"People are so angry about Dusty Baker, but what about Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou? What about LaTroy Hawkins?"
All this on top of Saturday's game, a freezing and windy affair that saw LaTroy Hawkins blow his second save of the season with two earned runs in the Cubs 4-3 loss.
In the ninth (after an improbable 1-2-3 inning from LaTroy Hawkins), Corey Patterson comes to the plate.
And finally, the best quote of all. Read the rest of this entry »

OK, it's pretty clear that "ein Paar Schuhe" is exactly two, although I'm not sure if the Neue Rechtschreibung still requires the capital P. Nevertheless, if I ask: "Gib mir doch bitte mal ein paar Zettel.", I would not expect exactly two. Three or even more, actually.
I've learned that in English, "I'll be back in a couple of hours" tends to be interpreted as "no more than two hours", whereas "I'll need a few hours longer." can definitely be more than two. I've often faced situations where my expectations were wrong when "a couple" was used.
But if I say in German "Ich brauch noch ein paar Minuten.", I think of this as more than just two.
Lately, I've seen refererences, I think on English.Stackexchange.com, where it was inferred that "ein paar" in German also means just two. Having spent the last ten years on a pacific island, I wonder if the usage of "ein paar" in German is shifting towards "just two".
Any ideas?
[edit] Please note that this is not about the difference between "ein Paar" and "ein paar". I'm well aware of that difference and know when to capitalise the P. I'm solely interested in the inherent meaning of "ein paar" when it is used with a lower case "p" and thus clearly NOT depicting a set "pair" of two items.
Also, "ein paar" does not cleanly translate to "several, a few, a couple". That's exactly the problem. In English, "a couple" leans very strongly towards "just two", as far as I have experienced in everyday conversation.
The purpose of this question is to establish whether or not in today's usage in German, "ein paar" is leaning towards "just two" or whether it is more likely to mean "three or more".

Climate change impacts
The effects of warming on our world can be seen today
The Earth could warm another 2 to 11.5°F this century if we fail to reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation—devastating our livelihoods and the natural world we cherish.
Impacts on the world around us
Biodiversity loss
Thousands of species risk extinction from disappearing habitat, changing ecosystems and acidifying oceans. According to the IPCC, climate change will put some 20% to 30% of species globally at increasingly high risk of extinction, possibly by 2100.
Decline in polar bears
Arctic sea ice is the polar bear's feeding habitat. As sea ice disappears, bear mortality rises. In 2008, the polar bear became the first animal to be added to the Endangered Species Act list of threatened species because of global warming.
The U.S. Geological Survey has warned that two-thirds of the world's polar bear populations could be lost by mid-century as sea ice continues to retreat.
Acidifying oceans
About one-third of the CO2 pollution from smokestacks and tailpipes is absorbed by the world's oceans, where it forms carbonic acid. A 2010 study published in Nature Geoscience warns that unchecked greenhouse gas emissions could cause oceans to acidify at a rate unprecedented in at least the last 65 million years.
Coral bleaching
Coral reefs are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature. Heat triggers corals to shed the algae that nourish them—a bleaching event that leaves coral white.
In 1998, the world's coral suffered its worst year on record, which left 16% bleached or dead. (ISRS statement [PDF]) Continued warming could cause mass bleachings to become an annual event within the next few decades, wiping out many reef ecosystems.

Shifting habitat
As the mercury rises, plants and animals are shifting their ranges toward the poles and to higher altitudes, and migration patterns for animals as diverse as whales and butterflies are being disrupted.
Threats to Western forests
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that slight changes in the climate may trigger abrupt ecosystem changes that may be irreversible.
All told, the Rocky Mountains in Canada and the U.S. have seen nearly 70,000 square miles of forest die – an area the size of Washington state – since 2000 due to outbreaks of tree-killing insects.
Thinning ice, rising seas
Rising seas are one of the most certain effects of global warming as warming ocean waters expand and melting glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets add more water to the oceans. The IPCC estimates that melting ice caps and glaciers—which are some of our most visible indicators of climate change—accounted for about 25% of sea level rise from 1993 to 2003.
Arctic sea ice is shrinking
Satellite images show that the extent of Arctic summer sea ice has decreased by almost 9% per decade since 1979. The Arctic summer could be ice-free by mid-century, according to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Video: The three lowest minimum extents of Arctic sea ice were reached in 2007, 2008 and 2010. Source: NOAAVisualizations
Sea level rise
During the 20th century, sea level rose an average of 7 inches after 2,000 years of relatively little change. The 2007 IPCC report conservatively predicts that sea levels could rise 10 to 23 inches by 2100 if current warming patterns continue.
In the U.S., roughly 100 million people live in coastal areas within 3 feet of mean sea level. Low-lying cities such as Boston, Miami and New York are vulnerable.
The U.S. Geological Survey, EPA and NOAA issued a joint report [PDF] in 2009 warning that most mid-Atlantic coastal wetlands from New York to North Carolina will be lost with a sea level rise of 3 feet or more. North Carolina's barrier islands would be significantly breached and flooding would destroy the Florida Everglades.
Melting glaciers
A 2005 survey of 442 glaciers from the World Glacier Monitoring Service found that 90% of the world's glaciers are shrinking as the planet warms.
Glacier National Park now has only 25 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. At the current rate of retreat, the glaciers in Glacier National Park could be gone in a matter of decades, according to some scientists.
Threats to people around the globe
Extreme weather will become more frequent—and more dangerous.
The World Meteorological Organization reported that 2000-2009 was the hottest decade on record, with eight of the hottest 10 years having occurred since 2000.
It's not just the heat that poses threats. Scientists say global warming is speeding up the cycling of water between the ocean, atmosphere and land, resulting in more intense rainfall and droughts at the same time across the globe.
A surge in wildfires
Hot, dry conditions create a tinderbox ideal for wildfires. This could have a devastating impact on America's Southwest. -
Increased flooding
The 2007 IPCC report concludes that intense rain events have increased in frequency during the last 50 years and that human-induced global warming has been a factor. -
Increased drought
There have also been increased periods of drought, particularly in famine-stricken areas of Africa and Asia. According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the percentage of Earth's surface suffering drought has more than doubled since the 1970s. In Africa alone, the IPCC projects that between 75 and 250 million people will be exposed to increased water stress due to climate change. -
More intense hurricanes
As the oceans warm, scientists predict that hurricane intensity could increase. The associated storm surge poses particular risk to low-lying coastal cities like Miami, Charleston (SC) and Wilmington (NC).
Threats to human health
A warming planet threatens people worldwide, causing deaths, spreading insect-borne diseases and exacerbating respiratory illnesses. Extreme weather will also put more people in harm's way.
The World Health Organization believes that even the modest increases in average temperature that have occurred since the 1970s are responsible for at least 150,000 extra deaths a year—a figure that will double by 2030, according to WHO's conservative estimate.
Devastating heat waves
Recent studies show extreme heat events that now occur once every 20 years will occur about every other year in much of the country, if current trends continue.
In 1995, Chicago suffered a heat wave that killed more than 700 people. Chicagoans could experience that kind of relentless heat up to three times a year by 2100.
Spread of disease
Diseases such as malaria and dengue fever could become more difficult to control in areas where it's currently too cold for them to spread year-round. The malaria parasite itself is generally limited to certain areas by cooler winter temperatures since it is not able to grow below 16°C. As temperatures rise, diseases can grow and disease vectors (the carriers that transmit disease, such as mosquitoes) will mature more rapidly and have longer active seasons.
Worsening air quality
More hot days mean ripe conditions for ground-level ozone, or smog, which forms when pollutants from tailpipes and smokestacks mix in sunny, stagnant conditions. Higher temperatures cause higher emissions of one type of pollutant, namely hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds, as well as speeding up the chemical reactions that form ozone smog.
Smog triggers asthma attacks and worsens other breathing problems. The number of Americans with asthma has more than doubled over the past two decades to 20 million. Continued warming will only worsen the problem.

Suprarenal Fixation Induces Renal Artery Neointimal Hyperplasia In Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Shree K Subedi, M.D., Andy M Lee, M.D., Gregg S Landis, M.D.
Renal artery occlusion following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with suprarenal fixation is uncommon. We report one patient who was found to develop renal artery occlusion and parenchymal infarction six months after EVAR using the Zenith endovascular graft with suprarenal fixation. Our patient underwent urgent endovascular repair of a symptomatic 6 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm. The covered portion of the endograft was inadvertently deployed well below the renal artery orifices, but given the long length of the infrarenal neck, was felt to provide adequate fixation. At the completion of the procedure both renal arteries were confirmed to be patent. A one-month postoperatively a CT scan showed exclusion of the aortic sac and normal enhancement of both kidneys. Six months postoperatively, the patient was found to have increasing creatinine levels despite having no clinical symptoms. CT scanning revealed a non-enhancing left kidney and angiography demonstrated an occlusion of the left renal artery, with signs of severe intimal hyperplasia. A barb welded to the bare metal stent appeared to be impinging on the left renal artery. Angulation in the aortic neck may have also contributed to excessive metallic coverage of the renal ostium. This case illustrates that renal artery occlusion after EVAR can occur due to repetitive injury to the renal artery orifice, and that neointimal hyperplasia can be induced by the bare metal stent overlying the renal ostium. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of renal artery intimal hyperplasia caused by repetitive injury from transrenal fixation systems

I know that my involvement here has been very limited lately, mostly due to my work schedule (getting on during the day is tough these days), and my personal life - I just bought a house, so I have been packing and getting things ready for the move, and I am not willing to buy anythign new to break until after I move. I do not go to any other sites...I am pretty cool with the familiar, especially since I have tried hard to build a decent reputation here, which is tough because I am not able to be involved daily, yet alone to the level that I would like to be. I want to trade more, I would like to sell some stuff, too, but it is all about time and priorities. Having said that, I need to go right now, as work calls...

Ephraimites quarrel with Jephthah. (1-7) Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon judge Israel. (8-15)
Verses 1-7 The Ephraimites had the same quarrel with Jephthah as with Gideon. Pride was at the bottom of the quarrel; only by that comes contention. It is ill to fasten names of reproach upon persons or countries, as is common, especially upon those under outward disadvantages. It often occasions quarrels that prove of ill consequence, as it did here. No contentions are so bitter as those between brethren or rivals for honour. What need we have to watch and pray against evil tempers! May the Lord incline all his people to follow after things which make for peace!
Verses 8-15 We have here a short account of three more of the judges of Israel. The happiest life of individuals, and the happiest state of society, is that which affords the fewest remarkable events. To live in credit and quiet, to be peacefully useful to those around us, to possess a clear conscience; but, above all, and without which nothing can avail, to enjoy communion with God our Saviour while we live, and to die at peace with God and man, form the substance of all that a wise man can desire.
Judges 12:1-3 . THE EPHRAIMITES QUARRELLING WITH JEPHTHAH.
1. the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together--Hebrew, "were summoned."
and went northward--After crossing the Jordan, their route from Ephraim was, strictly speaking, in a northeasterly direction, toward Mizpeh.
the men of Ephraim . . . said unto Jephthah, Wherefore . . . didst [thou] not call us?--This is a fresh development of the jealous, rash, and irritable temper of the Ephraimites. The ground of their offense now was their desire of enjoying the credit of patriotism although they had not shared in the glory of victory.
2. when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands--The straightforward answer of Jephthah shows that their charge was false; their complaint of not being treated as confederates and allies entirely without foundation; and their boast of a ready contribution of their services came with an ill grace from people who had purposely delayed appearing till the crisis was past.
3. when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands--A common form of speech in the East for undertaking a duty of imminent peril. This Jephthah had done, having encountered and routed the Ammonites with the aid of his Gileadite volunteers alone; and since the Lord had enabled him to conquer without requiring assistance from any other tribe, why should the Ephraimites take offense? They ought rather to have been delighted and thankful that the war had terminated without their incurring any labor and danger.
Judges 12:4-15 . DISCERNED BY THE WORD SIBBOLETH, ARE SLAIN BY THE GILEADITES.
4-6. the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim--The remonstrances of Jephthah, though reasonable and temperate, were not only ineffectual, but followed by insulting sneers that the Gileadites were reckoned both by the western Manassites and Ephraimites as outcasts--the scum and refuse of their common stock. This was addressed to a peculiarly sensitive people. A feud immediately ensued. The Gileadites, determined to chastise this public affront, gave them battle; and having defeated the Ephraimites, they chased their foul-mouthed but cowardly assailants out of the territory. Then rushing to the fords of the Jordan, they intercepted and slew every fugitive. The method adopted for discovering an Ephraimite was by the pronunciation of a word naturally suggested by the place where they stood. Shibboleth, means "a stream"; Sibboleth, "a burden." The Eastern tribe had, it seems, a dialectical provincialism in the sound of Shibboleth; and the Ephraimites could not bring their organs to pronounce it.
7. Jephthah died--After a government of six years, this mighty man of valor died; and however difficult it may be for us to understand some passages in his history, he has been ranked by apostolic authority among the worthies of the ancient church. He was followed by a succession of minor judges, of whom the only memorials preserved relate to the number of their families and their state [ Judges 12:8-15 ].

In the last two months, Bolivar County Supervisor Preston Billings has questioned Starks about possible solutions for controlling contraband within the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility.
"I am always concerned about the inmates and their well being. I just want to know what is being done about contraband? I have been hearing so much negative feedback from citizens concerning this issue," said Billings.
In a previous interview, Williams said he's not sure how banned items make their way into the facility but possibilities include visitations, offender work details and staff.
"We're not the only facility in Mississippi having this problem, but it's detrimental and it won't be tolerated," said Williams.
Contraband has become a major concern for correctional facilities throughout the state.
According to Starks, the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility is taking a proactive approach to controlling contraband from entering the facility.
"We are continuing to conduct searches on offenders, their housing units, the kitchen, laundry, and maintenance areas, and all other areas throughout the entire facility," said Starks.
"Staff and visitors are also thoroughly searched upon entering the facility," she added.
In addition to the above mentioned strategies, Starks said the facility is also in the process of implementing the use of the security tower, which is located in front of the facility.
"This will help us monitor traffic entering and exiting the facility and also provide visualization of anyone attempting to throw contraband items over the fence area. In addition to the cameras that are in place, we are installing additional cameras throughout the facility," continued Starks.
Williams added that since he has taken office, he has been proactive in preventing contraband in the facility.
However, somehow contraband continues to be found on a regular basis.
"I find this to be disturbing with all the preventive measures we have taken, we still find major contraband items," said Williams.
"No matter what it takes, we will continue to utilize these measures and also determine how the contraband is entering the facility. Those who are responsible for contraband entering the facility, will be prosecuted t to the fullest," he added.
In Mississippi, bringing contraband into a state correctional facility is considered a felony and can carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
The most common contraband items found in correctional facilities include cell phones, drugs and weapons.
During a previous search, Williams said he found nine cell phones, small amounts of tobacco and marijuana, tattoo paraphernalia, pornography and other nuisance contraband.
"We will continue to do whatever it takes to control contraband trafficking," said Williams
"Our goal is to ensure the safety of the correctional staff and offenders and to also continue to work hard to control contraband and to provide public safety," he added.

"I'm 15 years old and I've been sexually active for two years now, and I haven't told my parents. How do I tell my parents I have HIV? Help, please."
Most HIV and AIDS clinics have counselors and support groups with experience in helping teens like you break the news. Theyll help you figure out the best ways for you to share the diagnosis with your parents. Your parents likely will need some emotional support, too, and the dedicated nurses, doctors, and counselors can help there.
Just make sure you tell your parents as soon as possible. The sooner you tell them, the sooner you can get help.
