1st Annual People's Choice Awards
Jun 5, 2013 11:21 AM
Here are your finalists.
Goodman Hall At Iu Health Neuroscience Center
Indianapolis, Indiana
Sensory Technologies for Indiana (IU) Health
Goodman Hall is a multi-level, 270,000-square-foot clinical outpatient and imaging facility with an auditorium, boardroom, divisible training/conference rooms, collaboration space, and observation rooms. The solution includes extensive Cisco telepresence, as well as full-time technical support and asset management and tracking. AV-based interactions occur internally within the building (spanning five levels) as well as externally across several IU Health remote sites/campuses.
The large auditorium enables extensive interactivity among the participants. Sixty-five microphones are shared (two people per unit) to permit telepresence and simulate the intimacy of doctors' rounds within a large space. In a sleek collaboration area, health professionals meet casually, interacting via their own wireless devices or by using the room's high-definition videoconferencing codec. A telemedicine RX Cart and a videoconferencing cart with the highest standards of encryption and HIPAA-compatibility allow doctors to move throughout the building and also to work remotely with patients.
The design incorporates Crestron hardware and software for control, Shure microphones, Apple TV for flexible integration with mobile devices, and Cisco MCU with Jabber for telepresence.
Health Science & Education Building At Downtown Phoenix Biomedical Campus
Phoenix, Arizona
Audio Video Resources for University of Arizona
Part of the 28-acre Phoenix Biomedical campus, this new ultra-modern building is a 268,000-square-foot, six-story facility. There are 84 different spaces for classrooms, three auditoriums, large and small collaboration spaces, conference rooms, and an executive boardroom. The $3.7 million AV budget supported a flexible, interconnected system that scales for groupings of four to 120 students on the fly.
Four modular learning studios (three 60-person and one 120-person) break out into eight-student laptop stations that allow content sharing among stations as well as teacher override. The gross anatomy lab has similar functionality, plus a high-definition cart that can connect to each station and display an image on all other stations. Physical therapy labs have full videoconferencing capabilities and more than 30 breakout rooms allow students to study in groups of four, eight, or 12. A 400lb., 103in. plasma was mounted within an 18in. recessed opening in the executive boardroom with a Genie lift and nine technicians—without incident.
The design extensively incorporates Crestron hardware and software, as well as Panasonic projectors and displays, Chief mounts, Cisco teleconferencing, Middle Atlantic Products racks, and AV equipment from Extron, Biamp, Martin Audio, Shure, and AKG.
Simulation Center At Dwight Schar College Of Nursing & Health Sciences
Ashland, Ohio
SoundCom Systems for Ashland University
In seven simulation labs, four exam rooms, three debriefing rooms, and a home healthcare lab, nurses attend to patient needs and emergencies. A total of 32 Hill-rom beds and head-wall units give the appearance of a fully functional hospital wing. The patients are robotic, simulation mannequins programmed to give life-like responses to a range of conditions. Through a building-wide AV system, student nurses are recorded, studied, and critiqued in an experiential environment that improves learning outcomes.
A Sonic Foundry Mediasite recorder tied to the master control room assists in recording and managing online instruction by zone, individual classroom, and lab or Sim-Bed location. Across more than three miles of cable and two matrix switchers, the Mediasite recorder captures and connects to more than 64 cameras and 78 microphones, as well as capturing more than 36 SVGA telemetry and nursing medical charting stations. Classroom lecture podiums can capture PC, Blu-ray, document camera, laptop VGA and audio input from iPad/HDMI/iPod/MP3 input. Podiums also have AV power for other BYOD devices, 70W amplifiers with overhead speakers, and a duel widescreen projector.
Key system components include Sonic Foundry Mediasite, LG monitors, B-Line SimCapture recorders, Extron video and audio switching, Biamp Audiaflex audio capture and DSP, and Panasonic PTZ cameras.

As the global leader in domain names, Verisign powers the invisible navigation that takes people to where they want to go on the Internet.
Verisign's infrastructure services help to ensure that your organization's websites are reliable and always available.
Verisign provides in-depth analysis, insight and response recommendations to help keep businesses and government organizations ahead of new and evolving cyber threats and vulnerabilities.
As the Internet continues to expand, Verisign is committed to creating and driving advancements that keep the Internet fast, safe, and reliable for all users.
Authenticating the Internet from end-to-end.
Verisign has been involved in DNSSEC development since 2000, and our engineers played a leading role in the development of the DNSSEC Hashed Authenticated Denial of Existence (NSEC3) protocol. As DNSSEC testing, implementation, and adoption move forward, we continue to collaborate with the Internet technical community and participate in industry organizations.
Domain Name System Security Extension (DNSSEC) can strengthen trust in the Internet by helping to protect users from redirection to fraudulent websites and unintended addresses.
In July 2010, Verisign—working with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC)—completed deployment of DNSSEC in the root zone (the starting point of the DNS hierarchy). Verisign also enabled DNSSEC on .edu in July in collaboration with EDUCAUSE and the DoC, on .net in December 2010 and on .com in March 2011. DNSSEC adoption has progressed since 2011, with a little more than 1/3 of the registries which operate top-level domains (TLDs) now being signed.
In addition, we are taking multiple steps to help members of the Internet ecosystem take advantage of DNSSEC. These steps include publishing technical resources, providing an Operational Test Environment, leading educational sessions, participating in industry forums, and developing tools to simplify DNSSEC management.
Verisign is committed to serving as a trusted steward of the Internet. As the registry for .com and .net and a provider of critical Internet infrastructure services, our goal is to enable the Internet's next innovations while protecting the Internet community from new and emerging cyber threats. Our work on DNSSEC is another step in our ongoing fortification of and investment in critical Internet infrastructure.
1990 | A major flaw in DNS is discovered and dialog about securing DNS begins. |
1995 | DNSSEC becomes a formal topic within the IETF. |
1999 | The DNSSEC protocol (RFC2535) is finished and BIND9 is developed as the first DNSSEC capable implementation. |
2001 | Key handling creates operational problems that make DNSSEC deployment impossible for large networks. The IETF decides to rewrite the protocol. |
2005 | DNSSEC standards are rewritten in several RFCs 4033, 4034, 4035. In October, Sweden (.se) enables DNSSEC in their zone. |
2007 | In July ccTLD .pr (Puerto Rico) enables DNSSEC, followed by .br (Brazil) in September and .bg (Bulgaria) in October. |
2008 | The NSEC3 standard (RFC 5155) is published. In September ccTLD .cz (Czech Republic) enables DNSSEC. |
2009 | Verisign and EDUCAUSE host a DNSSEC test bed for select .edu registrants. Root zone signed for internal use by Verisign and ICANN. ICANN and Verisign exercise signing the ZSK with the KSK. |
2010 | The first root server begins serving the signed root, utilizing the DURZ (deliberately unvalidatable root zone) methodology. All root servers serving the signed root, using the DURZ methodology. ICANN holds first KSK ceremony event in Culpeper, VA, USA. ICANN publishes the root zone trust anchor and root operators begin to serve the signed root zone with actual keys – The signed root zone is available. Verisign and EDUCAUSE enable DNSSEC for the .edu domain. Verisign enables DNSSEC for the .net domain. |
2011 | In February, DNSSEC enabled .gov registry is transitioned to Verisign. In March, .com is signed and Verisign Managed DNS service is enhanced with full support for DNSSEC compliance. 59 TLDs are signed with trust anchors in the root zone. |
2012 | In January, Comcast announced that its customers are using DNSSEC-validating resolvers. As of March, the number of TLDs signed grew to 90. |

NXT Nutritionals actually sent me Susta All Natural Sweetener months ago to try. My apologies to NXT and to you dear readers of Iateapie.net, because I should have shared how much I love this sugar substitute with you.
Normally, my sweetener of choice is Splenda and lately PureVia, which to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of, but with Susta, from the first time I added it to my cup of Lipton Tea, I knew the half empty boxes of Splenda and PureVia were not going to be touched for a long time. I had this in my daily cup of tea, in coffee, plus when I made a few batches of lemonade and iced tea - the boyfriend who is averse to any kind of sweetener except sugar, could not tell the difference.
A packet of Susta (2 grams), provides 5 calories and 1 gram of fiber, so it's not non-caloric. I decided to make tea with both sugar and Susta, and I used about half as much Susta as I did sugar - nice calorie savings there! The ingredients are, Inulin, Fructose, Natural Flavors, Probiotic (Bacillus Coagulans), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), Cinnamon Extract, Goji Berry Extract, Bitter Melon Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin B6, Niacinamide, Biotic, Folic Acid, Chromium, Selenium, Vitamin B12.
If you're looking for an all-natural sugar substitute, then you should definitely give this a try. I actually preferred it to Pure-Via. A 50 count box can be purchased for $6.99 at SustaStore.com, and in my opinion is totally worth it.

I have been getting into everything flashlight related (what I spent my lyme downtime on)
and learned a lot about emitters and battery tech....
Shadow BL21 800 lumen
good link (I buy from CNQ on occasion, OK)
unknown on this site below
This is a lightweight and small light I am going to replace my niterider with.
one thing for sure I am never paying over 100 bucks for any amount of lumens.
anyhow, this is a smart-charger, 3x18650 battery pack, low-bright-strobe style 800 lumenx4 hour
run time cheap light. why pay more ? maybe the waterproofing on this is not as good as niterider,
maybe no race support...etc. but I paid 60 bucks delivered and so far it rocks.
it has a screw hole which fits niterider bits, so I use the rubber trinewt strap for this.
we'll see. If this gets me through the fall and winter with no hassles I will end up recommending it.
I also strongly recommend, if you decide to buy this,
to design a charging area for it that is flameproof, just in case...
because chinese lithium packs (magicshine anyone ??) sometimes cheap out on the cells and well, if they want
to catch fire you want to contain the flame. I have a metal tray, upon which is a terracotta birdbath, and that
is where all my lithiums sit while on the charger or not in use. and I cover them up with a metal lid. I do not
expect anything to catch fire, but hey, I'd rather have a smoky house than a burned down one.
and this...Highly recommended headlight:
I feel is the ultimate headlamp, because the COG is neutral and
it doesn't flop or change it's aim whatsoever, and it is tiny and bright. I hate headlamps because they are
funky to adjust and keep seated, and then what to do with the battery ? well...no more.
zebralight H600 or H600w and eagletac protected 18650 cells. bad-ass, small, lightweight
I take the silicone holder and strap that to my helmet then slide the light sideways into it. absolutely bomber.
Xstar wp2 charger for 18650's
Xtar gets great reviews

"The majority of our tomatoes — 75% to 80% — come from Mexico right now," he said.
The Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, which represents companies that import Mexican tomatoes, was not involved in the negotiations. President Lance Jungmeyer said it's not a reasonable solution.
Mexican officials who signed the agreement include representatives of grower groups Confederation of Agriculture Associations of the State of Sinaloa, Agricultural Council of Baja California, Mexican Association of Protected Horticulture, Sonora Regional Agricultural Union and National Confederation of Vegetable Producers.
Jungmeyer said many Nogales distributors are concerned about the effect of the price increases on buyer and consumer demand.
"A price increase this high gives the U.S. industry more room to maneuver, it gives them plenty of room to sell at 10 cents (per pound) below that floor price all day and essentially keep Mexico out of the market," he said Feb. 4.
After being briefed on the deal by the Commerce Department officials, the Florida Tomato Exchange and Certified Greenhouse Farmers released a statement expressing "tentative support" for the revised suspension agreement.
"The agreement as it is currently structured is a step forward," said Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Exchange, Maitland, Fla. Brown said the agreement's higher prices validate the contention of U.S. growers.
"We still feel very strongly that the cost of production is essential to determining what the correct reference price should be, and we look forward in the future for Commerce to obtain that information and adjust the reference prices on that basis," he said.

Southland homes decorated for the holidays 2012
By Jessi Virtusio email@example.com December 19, 2012 2:37PM
Martin and Alice Vilimek's home in Bridgeview at 7821 Columbia Drive has won many awards through the years.
Updated: January 22, 2013 6:15AM
It's that time of year when Southlanders enjoy checking out how their neighbors have decorated their homes for the holidays.
Here's a look at a few sites that are decked out but we welcome more suggestions, so post a comment below with your must-see sites.
7821 Columbia Drive
"It has won many awards over the years and has been highlighted in books, newspapers and magazines because of its unique array of Christmas decorations and firefighter and patriotism elements," Martin and Alice Vilimek said of their home.
"Simply put it celebrates our love of Christmas by embracing all things that make Christmas special — the birth of Christ, Santa Claus, Christmas trees and patriotism.
"Why patriotism? Because we need to honor the very freedoms that allow us to celebrate this holiday in the manners a free society enjoys."
As for the meaning of Christmas, the couple said it's "the joy that is brought to us by seeing so many people come by and see our home, reigniting memories of bygone Christmases.
"It is the time of year when cherished family and friends come by and visit us, making even more memories on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for us to enjoy with those loved ones for years to come."
The Vilimeks recalled their best Christmas present.
"Forty-three years ago on Dec. 17th, our son Marty was born," the couple said.
"Three days after his birth, Marty, his sister Dawn and we went to the volunteer Bridgeview Fire Department Christmas party, and he was in his little Christmas outfit.
"Forty-three years later now, Marty has been a firefighter for 25 years. He is a lieutenant and acting district chief for the Dunedin (Fla.) Fire Department.
"We are so proud of our 43-year-old Christmas present. Marty has two great sons along with his wonderful wife, Angela, while Dawn has provided us with two beautiful young granddaughters and Dawn is married to a great guy named Sam."
The Vilimeks have decorated their home for the last 40 years.
"Portions of the display are designed to salute firefighters as Martin is a retired Bridgeview firefighter," the couple said.
"Not to be left out of the display is a fine salute to American patriotism as is evidenced by the big 8-foot flag display on the west end of their home.
"It takes several weeks to create this display, which has been highlighted in magazines, hardcover Christmas house display books and many a local newspaper.
"Since it is so close to Midway airport, their friends joke that at the holiday season, the nearby Midway flight control tower has to reroute any incoming flights due to the incredible array of lights that are so wonderfully on exhibit at the Vilimek home.
"This home is truly worthy of being titled locally as the house with the best Christmas spirit inside and out. On a personal note, (we) have been married 46 years and have two grown children, four grandchildren and two cats, Holly and Amber."
Recently, the Vilimeks won the Clark Griswold Award from the Bedford Park District and also were in "The Best Christmas Decorations in Chicagoland," which is an award-winning guidebook to more than 200 spectacular displays.
6436 W. 85th Place
"This home features a free 30-minute music and light show that appeals to both young and old alike," said Jessica Munoz, daughter of homeowners Dennis and Susan Laff.
"The enormous 20-foot tree and star sequenced to holiday music is draw enough, but when paired with an additional 10,000-plus light-emitting diode lights 'dancing' to music, it is a sight not to be missed.
"Parents might also find the virtual Santa in the window to add a little bit of magic to the season."
Munoz, of Burbank, said the house placed second in 2010 and 2011 and first this year in the Burbank Park District's annual Best Decorated Home Contest.
This year's display includes 26 wire light frames, mini trees, strobe lights, a pink Santa pig and appearances by the Peanuts gang and the Grinch.
Videos of the holiday music and light show, which runs on the hour from 7-10 p.m. nightly, can be found at youtube.com/user/laffdennis.
The show can be listened to in the viewer's car when the radio is tuned to 88.3 FM.
"My dad started decorating for Christmas when he was 12 and lived in the Back of the Yards neighborhood," Munoz said.
"He won the neighborhood decorating contest for the display he created for his childhood home.
"After the first two grandchildren were born in 2008, he started seriously decorating for the grandkids in 2009.
"He hand-fabricated a 20-foot tree and star and has spent countless hours sequencing all components of the display to holiday music.
"Since the lights are so bright and in perfect alignment, we joke that the airplanes landing at Midway airport might mistake the house for a runway.
"A couple got engaged (recently) after the 7 p.m. show. The display's scrolling sign popped the question and she said, 'Yes.' "
Munoz added, "Christmas is a time to create memories with family and friends.
"It is a time to cherish the innocence of our children and the magic of the season. It is a time to take a moment to make the life of someone else a little better."
As for the best Christmas gift she received, Munoz said, "I can honestly say that there is no gift I have ever received that compares to having a healthy, happy family that spends time together.
"I love seeing the excitement that my boys, Cooper and Max, have when watching the holiday music and light show at my parents' house."
99th Street and Campbell Avenue
Bill Sullivan called the entire block "amazing" on SouthtownStar's Facebook page.
13457 Arabian Drive
"We spend many hours putting up the yearly decorations, and it's the nicest and neatest in the area," said TJ Dugan, who lives at this home with his wife, Marie.
When it comes to the meaning of Christmas, Dugan said it's "family and it's the birthday of Jesus. We all get together and have an Italian seafood dinner on Christmas Eve."
His family includes children Maggie, 22; Katie, 17; and Andy, 13, as well as their 8-year-old dog Buddy and their kitten Mao.
Animals definitely play a part in the Dugans' lives, as this is what Dugan said when asked about the best Christmas gift ever received:
"If you ask our daughter Maggie, it would be her border collie puppy Buddy."
15208 Ventura St.
"The house features a multitude of miscellaneous plastic figurines," homeowner Janet Smith said. "Come see for yourself and enjoy.
"Christmas, to me, is about spending time with family and enjoying the spirit of the season.
"The best Christmas present I ever received was a pink kitchen set when I was 5. It took up one whole corner of my parents' living room.
"My house is one of many in the area that is a must-see for one and all. There is a list of houses on the Oak Forest Park District Facebook page for more addresses."
24 Mohawk Drive
Leon and Kitty Begonia's neighbors sent the following note about this site:
"Well, folks, Leon Begonia did it again! He started in late October stringing his lights on the tree and around the window covers and the garage.
"Fifty percent of the decorations he made himself besides holding a full-time job at Advanced Mobility in Monee.
"His son Michael Murray, of Blue Island, does most of the high stuff (age, you know). All the lights are synchronized to the music.
"New additions to the house this year are the giant star on the chimney, remembering his beloved black Labrador Starr, which passed away in late August.
"Quite a few of the neighbors come for the lighting, and they all love it. Mohawk Drive has not been the same since Leon and Kitty moved in.
"The lights will stay on through Jan. 1st in memory of Leon's son Jason (1977-2006).
"Please stop by and take a look, and happy holidays from all the neighbors on Mohawk Drive."
Online exclusive:
8639 S. 78th Ave.
"Christmas is the biggest holiday for us. We love decorating our home inside and out," Annette and Joe Mitchell said.
"The outside of our home has Santa and Mrs. Santa waving in front of Santa's sleigh with reindeer, our little gingerbread town with the gingerbread people, Ferris wheel, Santa train, snowmen, soldiers, candy canes and the hundreds of lights dancing to music.
"This is what we love to do, especially when we see the faces of the children that come by to see our Christmas display. People come by every year to see our house, and it makes us feel so good when they tell us, 'We come to your house all the time to see your beautiful decorations.'
"That's what decorating is all about, seeing the smiles on all of the children's faces. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year."

Moses is born, and exposed on the river. (1-4) He is found, and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter. (5-10) Moses slays an Egyptian, and flees to Midian. (11-15) Moses marries the daughter of Jethro. (16-22) God hears the Israelites. (23-25)
Verses 1-4 Observe the order of Providence: just at the time when Pharaoh's cruelty rose to its height by ordering the Hebrew children to be drowned, the deliverer was born. When men are contriving the ruin of the church, God is preparing for its salvation. The parents of Moses saw he was a goodly child. A lively faith can take encouragement from the least hint of the Divine favour. It is said, ( Hebrews 11:23 ) , that the parents of Moses hid him by faith; they had the promise that Israel should be preserved, which they relied upon. Faith in God's promise quickens to the use of lawful means for obtaining mercy. Duty is ours, events are God's. Faith in God will set us above the fear of man. At three months' end, when they could not hide the infant any longer, they put him in an ark of bulrushes by the river's brink, and set his sister to watch. And if the weak affection of a mother were thus careful, what shall we think of Him, whose love, whose compassion is, as himself, boundless. Moses never had a stronger protection about him, no, not when all the Israelites were round his tent in the wilderness, than now, when he lay alone, a helpless babe upon the waves. No water, no Egyptian can hurt him. When we seem most neglected and forlorn, God is most present with us.
Verses 5-10 Come, see the place where that great man, Moses, lay, when he was a little child; it was in a bulrush basket by the river's side. Had he been left there long, he must have perished. But Providence brings Pharaoh's daughter to the place where this poor forlorn infant lay, and inclines her heart to pity it, which she dares do, when none else durst. God's care of us in our infancy ought to be often mentioned by us to his praise. Pharaoh cruelly sought to destroy Israel, but his own daughter had pity on a Hebrew child, and not only so, but, without knowing it, preserved Israel's deliverer, and provided Moses with a good nurse, even his own mother. That he should have a Hebrew nurse, the sister of Moses brought the mother into the place of a nurse. Moses was treated as the son of Pharoah's daughter. Many who, by their birth, are obscure and poor, by surprising events of Providence, are raised high in the world, to make men know that God rules.
Verses 11-15 Moses boldly owned the cause of God's people. It is plain from ( Hebrews 11 ) . that this was done in faith, with the full purpose of leaving the honours, wealth, and pleasures of his rank among the Egyptians. By the grace of God he was a partaker of faith in Christ, which overcomes the world. He was willing, not only to risk all, but to suffer for his sake; being assured that Israel were the people of God. By special warrant from Heaven, which makes no rule for other cases, Moses slew an Egyptian, and rescued an oppressed Israelites. Also, he tried to end a dispute between two Hebrews. The reproof Moses gave, may still be of use. May we not apply it to disputants, who, by their fierce debates, divide and weaken the Christian church? They forget that they are brethren. He that did wrong quarreled with Moses. It is a sign of guilt to be angry at reproof. Men know not what they do, nor what enemies they are to themselves, when they resist and despise faithful reproofs and reprovers. Moses might have said, if this be the spirit of the Hebrews, I will go to court again, and be the son of Pharaoh's daughter. But we must take heed of being set against the ways and people of God, by the follies and peevishness of some persons that profess religion. Moses was obliged to flee into the land of Midian. God ordered this for wise and holy ends.
Verses 16-22 Moses found shelter in Midian. He was ready to help Reuel's daughters to water their flocks, although bred in learning and at court. Moses loved to be doing justice, and to act in defence of such as he saw injured, which every man ought to do, as far as it is in his power. He loved to be doing good; wherever the providence of God casts us, we should desire and try to be useful; and when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can. Moses commended himself to the prince of Midian; who married one of his daughters to Moses, by whom he had a son, called Gershom, "a stranger there," that he might keep in remembrance the land in which he had been a stranger.
Verses 23-25 The Israelites' bondage in Egypt continued, though the murdering of their infants did not continue. Sometimes the Lord suffers the rod of the wicked to lie very long and very heavy on the lot of the righteous. At last they began to think of God under their troubles. It is a sign that the Lord is coming towards us with deliverance, when he inclines and enables us to cry to him for it. God heard their groaning; he made it to appear that he took notice of their complaints. He remembered his covenant, of which he is ever mindful. He considered this, and not any merit of theirs. He looked upon the children of Israel. Moses looked upon them, and pitied them; but now God looked upon them, and helped them. He had respect unto them. His eyes are now fixed upon Israel, to show himself in their behalf. God is ever thus, a very present help in trouble. Take courage then, ye who, conscious of guilt and thraldom, are looking to Him for deliverance. God in Christ Jesus is also looking upon you. A call of love is joined with a promise of the Redeemer. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, ( Matthew 11:28 ) .
Exodus 2:1-10 . BIRTH AND PRESERVATION OF MOSES.
1. there went a man of the house of Levi, &c. Amram was the husband and Jochebed the wife (compare Exodus 6:2 , Numbers 26:59 ). The marriage took place, and two children, Miriam and Aaron, were born some years before the infanticidal edict.
2. the woman . . . bare a son, &c. Some extraordinary appearance of remarkable comeliness led his parents to augur his future greatness. Beauty was regarded by the ancients as a mark of the divine favor.
hid him three months--The parents were a pious couple, and the measures they took were prompted not only by parental attachment, but by a strong faith in the blessing of God prospering their endeavors to save the infant.
3. she took for him an ark of bulrushes--papyrus, a thick, strong, and tough reed.
slime--the mud of the Nile, which, when hardened, is very tenacious.
pitch--mineral tar. Boats of this description are seen daily floating on the surface of the river, with no other caulking than Nile mud (compare Isaiah 18:2 ), and they are perfectly watertight, unless the coating is forced off by stormy weather.
flags--a general term for sea or river weed. The chest was not, as is often represented, committed to the bosom of the water but laid on the bank, where it would naturally appear to have been drifted by the current and arrested by the reedy thicket. The spot is traditionally said to be the Isle of Rodah, near Old Cairo.
4. his sister--Miriam would probably be a girl of ten or twelve years of age at the time.
5. the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river--The occasion is thought to have been a religious solemnity which the royal family opened by bathing in the sacred stream. Peculiar sacredness was attached to those portions of the Nile which flowed near the temples. The water was there fenced off as a protection from the crocodiles; and doubtless the princess had an enclosure reserved for her own use, the road to which seems to have been well known to Jochebed.
walked along--in procession or in file.
she sent her maid--her immediate attendant. The term is different from that rendered "maidens."
6-9. when she had opened it, she saw the child--The narrative is picturesque. No tale of romance ever described a plot more skilfully laid or more full of interest in the development. The expedient of the ark, the slime and pitch, the choice of the time and place, the appeal to the sensibilities of the female breast, the stationing of the sister as a watch of the proceedings, her timely suggestion of a nurse, and the engagement of the mother herself--all bespeak a more than ordinary measure of ingenuity as well as intense solicitude on the part of the parents. But the origin of the scheme was most probably owing to a divine suggestion, as its success was due to an overruling Providence, who not only preserved the child's life, but provided for his being trained in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Hence it is said to have been done by faith ( Hebrews 11:23 ), either in the general promise of deliverance, or some special revelation made to Amram and Jochebed--and in this view, the pious couple gave a beautiful example of a firm reliance on the word of God, united with an active use of the most suitable means.
10. she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter--Though it must have been nearly as severe a trial for Jochebed to part with him the second time as the first, she was doubtless reconciled to it by her belief in his high destination as the future deliverer of Israel. His age when removed to the palace is not stated; but he was old enough to be well instructed in the principles of the true religion; and those early impressions, deepened by the power of divine grace, were never forgotten or effaced.
he became her son--by adoption, and his high rank afforded him advantages in education, which in the Providence of God were made subservient to far different purposes from what his royal patroness intended.
she called his name Moses--His parents might, as usual, at the time of his circumcision, have given him a name, which is traditionally said to have been Joachim. But the name chosen by the princess, whether of Egyptian or Hebrew origin, is the only one by which he has ever been known to the church; and it is a permanent memorial of the painful incidents of his birth and infancy.
Exodus 2:11-25 . HIS SYMPATHY WITH THE HEBREWS.
11. in those days, when Moses was grown--not in age and stature only, but in power as well as in renown for accomplishments and military prowess ( Acts 7:22 ). There is a gap here in the sacred history which, however, is supplied by the inspired commentary of Paul, who has fully detailed the reasons as well as extent of the change that took place in his worldly condition; and whether, as some say, his royal mother had proposed to make him coregent and successor to the crown, or some other circumstances, led to a declaration of his mind, he determined to renounce the palace and identify himself with the suffering people of God ( Hebrews 11:24-29 ). The descent of some great sovereigns, like Diocletian and Charles V, from a throne into private life, is nothing to the sacrifice which Moses made through the power of faith.
he went out unto his brethren--to make a full and systematic inspection of their condition in the various parts of the country where they were dispersed ( Acts 7:23 ), and he adopted this proceeding in pursuance of the patriotic purpose that the faith, which is of the operation of God, was even then forming in his heart.
he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew--one of the taskmasters scourging a Hebrew slave without any just cause ( Acts 7:24 ), and in so cruel a manner, that he seems to have died under the barbarous treatment--for the conditions of the sacred story imply such a fatal issue. The sight was new and strange to him, and though pre-eminent for meekness ( Numbers 12:3 ), he was fired with indignation.
12. he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand--This act of Moses may seem and indeed by some has been condemned as rash and unjustifiable--in plain terms, a deed of assassination. But we must not judge of his action in such a country and age by the standard of law and the notions of right which prevail in our Christian land; and, besides, not only is it not spoken of as a crime in Scripture or as distressing the perpetrator with remorse, but according to existing customs among nomadic tribes, he was bound to avenge the blood of a brother. The person he slew, however, being a government officer, he had rendered himself amenable to the laws of Egypt, and therefore he endeavored to screen himself from the consequences by concealment of the corpse.
13, 14. two men of the Hebrews strove together--His benevolent mediation in this strife, though made in the kindest and mildest manner, was resented, and the taunt of the aggressor showing that Moses' conduct on the preceding day had become generally known, he determined to consult his safety by immediate flight ( Hebrews 11:27 ). These two incidents prove that neither were the Israelites yet ready to go out of Egypt, nor Moses prepared to be their leader ( James 1:20 ). It was by the staff and not the sword--by the meekness, and not the wrath of Moses that God was to accomplish that great work of deliverance. Both he and the people of Israel were for forty years more to be cast into the furnace of affliction, yet it was therein that He had chosen them ( Isaiah 48:10 ).
15. Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh--His flight took place in the second year of Thothmes I.
dwelt in the land of Midian--situated on the eastern shore of the gulf of the Red Sea and occupied by the posterity of Midian the son of Cush. The territory extended northward to the top of the gulf and westward far across the desert of Sinai. And from their position near the sea, they early combined trading with pastoral pursuits ( Genesis 37:28 ). The headquarters of Jethro are supposed to have been where Dahab-Madian now stands; and from Moses coming direct to that place, he may have travelled with a caravan of merchants. But another place is fixed by tradition in Wady Shuweib, or Jethro's valley, on the east of the mountain of Moses.
sat down by a
16-22. the priest of Midian--or, "prince of Midian." As the officers were usually conjoined, he was the ruler also of the people called Cushites or Ethiopians, and like many other chiefs of pastoral people in that early age, he still retained the faith and worship of the true God.
seven daughters--were shepherdesses to whom Moses was favorably introduced by an act of courtesy and courage in protecting them from the rude shepherds of some neighboring tribe at a well. He afterwards formed a close and permanent alliance with this family by marrying one of the daughters, Zipporah, "a little bird," called a Cushite or Ethiopian ( Numbers 12:1 ), and whom Moses doubtless obtained in the manner of Jacob by service [see Exodus 3:1 ]. He had by her two sons, whose names were, according to common practice, commemorative of incidents in the family history [ Exodus 18:3 Exodus 18:4 ].
23. the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage--The language seems to imply that the Israelites had experienced a partial relaxation, probably through the influence of Moses' royal patroness; but in the reign of her father's successor the persecution was renewed with increased severity.

I thought Rick finding about the pregnancy + Shane/Lori would've been more...I don't know?
But when I saw this on tumblr I realized just how bizarre Rick's reaction was:
I thought Rick finding about the pregnancy + Shane/Lori would've been more...I don't know?
But when I saw this on tumblr I realized just how bizarre Rick's reaction was:
OMG! Shane had a mango in his pants! Am I the only one to notice his bulge and a half?!
It was a good episode and that housing development was freaky. The story should come to a head this week, as they all learn about the barn full of walkers.
Did I hear correctly that last week's episode marked mid season for TWD?
^ after the episode on November 27 airs it will go on a hiatus. second half begins on February 12, 2012.
as for shane's big bulge, it looked fake. lol
I don't necessarily think it was "fake". I just think it had more to do with his pants than him.
Tonight is going to be a major cliffhanger! I'm on pins and needles.
Well at least the search for that girl is finally over. That ending didn't surprise me at all.
Also, I'm really starting to love Shane's bad ass personality. He's like an anti-hero who makes the show interesting.
lol, Shane Is Alpha Male. Hear Him Roar. UNF.
Anyway, I'm so damn glad they wrapped up the Sophia storyline. Watching them clear out the barn was so cathartic.
Also, that ending with Rick was the most interesting thing about the episode for me. I'm really rooting for him to stop being so emo & indecisive all the damn time. I hope that was a turning point for his character because he pulls on my heart strings with his perpetual manpain. It stresses me out.
Oh and wtf @ Lori telling Shane that if he's the father the kid still won't be his. Girl. What.
Im sorry but Ricky was being such a stupid pussy and Hershel is a senile moron . Even though I overall cant stand Shane and his crazy ass. He did the right thing for once.
Dale cant be dead right?
Ep last night was so good! Thank God they finally cleared that barn out! Nice to see such an amazing end to such a bad story arc as well (Sophia). It broke my heart to see the mother's reaction to her little girl coming out of that barn.
Hershel is gonna be mad pissed.
I can't wait to see what happens between Rick and Shane in the next episode.
Dale made an appearance in the final scene so he's alive and well and the show goes on hiatus until February 12th!
I got chills when I saw Sophia. Yikes. One of the executive producers was on Talking Dead and said the scene was shot two ways, as we saw it last night and where Sophia comes out looking normal to the group. I guess they made the right decision. They also noted that Otis had been the one rounding up the walkers, which is why none of the farmhouse folk told the group that they had found a young girl walker!
I don't know what to say about Dale. Hiding all of the guns in a swamp??? He may be next to meet an untimely demise. Looks like Hershel gets with the program and then gives up hope from what I see in the previews for the next episode. Did he finally realize when Shane was shooting one of the captured walkers and she wasn't dying, that the walkers are no longer alive??? Seems like all of the farmhouse folk changed their minds real quick as if this was the first time they'd seen walkers up close.
It may well have been their first time seeing zombies shot in the chest and still coming at them, teeth gnashing. I imagine that would be a sobering moment for someone who thought they were just sick.
Overall it was a pretty decent start to the season, but I feel it could have been condensed into half the number of episodes.
Though I get that they wanted the extra punch of Sophia being there the whole freaking time, but by that point I think a lot of people had maybe stopped caring anyway :\ I do hope they move on from the farm soon.
I hate Rick more and more when I think about it. He is so stupid and lame. Sophia would have lived if it wasnt for his dumb ass and his bonehead idea. Who the fuck gives a child directions like follow the sun and use north and south and shit. Adults wouldnt even get those directions and plus the position of the sun changes. He could have easily took her with him. He wasnt that outta breath. Please let him and Shane have a deathmatch over his skank wife that kills them all.
True but the turn of events shows that Rick, as a leader, is flawed. The idea that he told Sophia how to find her way back is plausible and it leads the group to the farm. IMO Fort Benning was overrun by walkers long ago. Rick's flaws create a tug of war with Shane, who is a different but maybe more suited leader in the zombie apocalypse.
I think the writers are trying to show that the group is vulnerable and not always likely to make the right decisons like dunking Glen into the well, the pharmacy runs, Andrea taking a shot at Daryl, Daryl going out alone, Dale trying to bury the guns in the swamp, and of course Hershel's benevolence.
I was pleased with last night's episode. Finally some action.
Oh my God
I think Herschel put the girl in the barn (Probanly not but this is my first fan-boy story moment)
Think about it, how else could she of gotten in there non infected? The way Glenn did/How the people feed them? She would of literally had to jump in herself seeing all the Walkers and wanted to die
Plus, she is on a farm and instead of going to the house she goes to the Barn? Obviously seeing it is locked the fuck down she then continues to try and get in?
Whatever, I think it would be nice to have Herschel explain that to everyone after all this time looking for her (In my world where he did it)
Sweet gifs
they aren't to the point yet, but as a stronger and armed group they could just kill the old man and take over his farm- it's not like the police are gonna come or anything- i think in a real apocalyptic world Shane does have the right idea- it's now kill or be killed-but staying on the farm would be boring tv. so here's hoping they move on in Feb to somewhere new.
I think they'd have to kill Otis's wife, Hershels' daughter and the young farm hand as well so it's unlikely to happen.
The show is loosely following the graphic novel so at some point they will leave the farm. My guess is that the farm will be overrun by walkers or another reason will force the group to leave.
If you ever read the comic, he is actually annoying as fuck in it.
TV!Rick is actually pretty loveable/sweet. And so pretty.
Him + Glenn are the only two characters on the show that have my unconditional love.
The next location after they move on (from the Farm) is a zillion times more interesting.
Well I can't stand Shane and the sooner someone kicks his ass, the sooner he will leave and get bitten, lol. I think wifey will have a miscarriage because sooner or later Shane and Rick or gonna get into over the baby and since Shane was so badass, why didn't she shoot the little girl. I think it was something significant to having Rick do it, just not sure what and sooner or later the truth will come out about him killing Otis. One would think the old preacher would notice the faces of decay and think if they are healed, they are gonna be fucked up looking and also, Shane would have to basically turn on everyone to take over the farm and Glenn is not about to let them mess with his new booty. It would be nice if they took over and Hershel snapped and burned the house down, then they would have to leave. Also, why was everyone upset over the walkers being in the barn? They have been there the whole time they been there and no one had known and no one got bitten.
Quite a mid season finale.
That was good! It took a while to get to the point of what happened to the girl, but it's a relief at the same time. I'm glad Hershel can see now that the walkers are fucking monsters and have to be killed.
As big of an asshole as Shane is he was right to kill the walkers lol. I would have done pretty much the same thing. Hershel cant tell anybody what to do anymore. There is nobody to enforce the law anymore, jeez lol. That farm is gonna be overrun I think and Hershel is gonna die with his dumb ass no weapons policy.
I really couldn't buy that Hershel (to see his wife) or anyone else (feeding fractured chickens) would not have known all the zombies by name or by identifying features. Certainly Sophia was described aloud so that everyone on that farm knew what she looked like. Young girl wearing rainbow tshirt. Come on. Presumably she would be shorter than the rest of the pack! Hershel knew. His family knew. Or the show is not being intellectually honest.
Dont get me wrong. I love the show. That last scene with Sophia especially. But on not knowing, no way.
The executive producer said Otis was the one rounding up the walkers so what if he found Sophia, put her in the barn and went deer hunting only to shoot Carl? There would have been no thought about saying, "Oh, yah, I found a young girl walker today," because of all of the turmoil surrounding Carl's condition.
Someone asked why everyone was freaked out upon learing about the walkers. Well, I would be. It was only a matter of time before they dug a hole under the barn walls and started attacking. The farm folk were totally in denial and perhaps Glen and Dale were just naive since they knew for a day or so and didn't tell the rest of the group. Dale's professed unsuitability for the new world and his questionable actions will put himself and the group at risk. Mark my words.
Shane brings the action, and if survival were an individual activity he might be best suited to make it alone longer than any of the others.
But getting a group to survive and succeed takes more than boldness and being the first to act. Does anyone think he could really lead a group to do well over the long term? I don't. He's too hot headed and insecure.
Regarding Rick being so okay with learning about Shane and Lori, I never thought he was actually *okay* with it. Rick is a character who plays things low-key because he wants to do the right thing. I always understood him to be suppressing this little bit of information, which will almost certainly erupt between him and Shane at a later point.
I think the point was that Shane is willing to take bold action when it's easy because it's emotionally satisfying, but Rick is the one willing to step up and take the painful choices on himself.
Consider Shane's impulsive act of aiming him gun at Rick because Shane wanted Lori. In addition to being a creepy-ass thing to do, it was stupid from a survival perspective, because Rick added one more strong member to the "tribe", and one with really valuable skills. But Shane considered shooting him in the head so Shane could get laid.
And then consider Rick's response to learning that Shane was sleeping with Lori - although his full reaction is yet to be seen, can you see Rick considering taking Shane out like a sniper? I can't. Because Rick is always going to try to navigate the difficult issues.
More like 90% wrong. The only aspect where you may be right is that Hershel knew.
HOWEVER, if Hershel knew that Sophia was in the barn, why not tell the group that Otis saw a girl walker wearing a rainbow shirt? Hmmmm? That would send the group on their merry way and be out of Hershel's hair. Keeping mum only kept the group on the farm longer.
OMG I've LOVED this series! I thought my friend and I were the only gays on the planet that loved it!
Anyone who finds shirtless pics of some of the hot guys, please post!
I just found it odd that he was terrorizing Lori for thinking of aborting the child for perfectly understandable, well-thought out reasons but was super tolerant of her going off and sleeping with his best friend 2 seconds after they'd left him for dead.
Perhaps Rick feels indebted to Shane for saving his kid's life (& protecting his family while he was in the hospital) so he's holding back for now but at some point he needs to stand up to Shane.
My take on his reaction is that he realizes in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, there are more pressing issues.
Here are some questions I have. How many bites does it take before a zombie will stop eating? For Sophia it was one unless she ran away after being bitten. Do zombies eat until the victim is dead and lifeless?
I didn't see season one. Was the outbreak ever explained and why were all those people dead on the highway?
I think Rick knew about Shane, and had processed some of it already. In addition, Lori thought he was dead - as far as Rick knows, neither Rick nor Lori did anything wrong.
But his rant at Lori was about her not sharing the information with him, which is arguably wrong.
So not-wrong action vs wrong action.
Rather than show some respect for his memory, his BFF and his wife got it on so soon after his death. I think that's a good enough reason to be upset about the hookup. It just seems tacky when they're supposed to be in mourning. But you're right, Rick seems to bottle things up as he tries to figure out the best way to approach a situation.
Anyway, it should be interesting to see how it plays out. Especially since Rick still hasn't caught on to the fact that the baby might be fathered by Shane. Can't believe that wasn't the first thing he asked Lori after she confessed to him. Odd. Or bad writing.
You're not very familiar with zombies are you??
To answer your questions, a zombie NEVER stops eating. That's pretty much the only basic instinct they have is to feed. If the victim can't run away then a zombie will definitely eat until the victim is dead.
And no, the outbreak was never explained. The zombie apocalypse just happened out of nowhere. It's actually been done before in a couple of zombie movies (I've watched pretty much every one of them I can find).
But that's the basis of my question. Once the heart stops beating does the zombie stop eating?
You say it never stops but I don't think zombies eat fresh corpses do they? Isn't that why Shane had to wound Otis and not kill him outright or why the chickens had to be thrown into the barn alive??? Or maybe it has to do with movement only, which is how Rick was able to survive in the hospital in a coma??? Hmmm, then again Daryl was knocked out and a zombie started gnawing on his foot.
I'm so confused.
I believe the zombies will eat a fresh kill until its devoured, if not prevented from doing so.
Rick seemed to have survived by luck as much as anything else, probably because the walkers just didn't make it into his room, and there was no noise to draw their attention.
Hmm, that's a good point. But my reasoning is that zombies do in fact want their meat fresh. Not a preference, otherwise you would see them eating dead corpses and then what? Do they stop eating them once they come back as zombies? The general rule of thumb is that they don't attack one another.
Think of it this way; Lions want fresh meat. They're not scavengers. That's a vultures job. Lions want fresh meat.

Breyers Light Boosts Immunity Yogurt is enhanced with a special natural probiotic bacteria, "clinically proven to help strengthen your body's immune system." I suspect that almost every yogurt these days could make that same claim. Still, I picked up the Strawberry Cheesecake variety because ... it had cheesecake in the name, and each 6 ounce serving only has 80 calories.
There were a few strawberry pieces in this, unlike the Breyers Light Probiotic Plus Lowfat Yogurt where the fruit is blended. This "strawberry cheescake" yogurt should have been named "strawberry" instead, because the "cheesecake" flavor was nowhere to be found. There is no aftertaste but it does have that sort of "fake sugar", not so creamy taste that most light yogurts have. But let's face it,for a 6 ounce "light" yogurt with only 80 calories, I did not expect that this to taste phenomenal - and you shouldn't either.
Each 6 ounce serving of Breyers Light Boosts Immunity Strawberry Cheesecake Yogurt provides 80 calories, no fat, 4% of the RDA for sodium (5 mg), 6 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrates which includes 7 grams of sugar and no fiber. There is also 20% of the RDA for calcium and vitamin D. The sweeteners used are aspartame & acesulfame K.
A 6 ounce container cost $0.54 at Wal-Mart. While this was okay, I prefer Dannon Light n Fit 0% Plus Strawberry Yogurt (60 calories per 4 ounces).

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 5:35 p.m.) A bankruptcy judge ordered Liborio Markets Inc. into Chapter 7 just three days after the U.S. Department of Agriculture lifted a reparation order against the company and members of the Alejo family.
The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service restored the rights of the Los Angeles company and its principals to do business in the produce industry July 24. The agency stated the company had met its obligation under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act.
An unpaid debt of $21,461 to an unnamed Florida supplier spurred the USDA on April 3 to sanction the company and John Alejo, Enrique M. Alejo, Randy M. Alejo, and Enrique J. Alejo.
Regardless of the removal of the sanction, members of the Alejo family and the group of Liborio companies they operate are still in the midst of a multimillion dollar bankruptcy case.
Judge Barry Russell entered an order July 27 converting the Chapter 11 reorganization to a Chapter 7 liquidation.
"... in light of the exigent circumstances associated with the debtor's business operations, the court determined on its own motion that cause exists to convert the debtor's case from a case under Chapter 11 to Chapter 7, which is in the best interest of creditors..." Russell's order states.
The judge set the following schedule:
- Within 14 days of his order Liborio must file a schedule of unpaid debts incurred after the Chapter 11 case was filed (April 13);
- Within 30 days Liborio must file and transmit to the trustee a final report; and
- Liborio must turn over to the trustee all records and property remaining in its custody and control.
Bankruptcy documents show total debts of $50 million to $100 million. The bankruptcy filing estimates 100-200 creditors, including a $56 million claim by Banco Popular North America.
In its statement of financial affairs filed May 7, Liborio reported gross business revenue of $11 million in 2010, $10.58 million in 2011, and $2.57 million year-to-date at that time for 2012.
Liborio Markets Inc. and the Alejo famiy are also defendants in two federal court disputes with produce suppliers who say they are owed a total of more than $1 million under PACA.
In the federal court cases, Valley Fruit & Produce Co., Los Angeles, is seeking $887,000 and American Produce, Denver, is seeking $199,000. Those cases, both filed Jan. 23, remain pending.
The bankruptcy judge addressed those claims as well as those of other PACA creditors in a separate order July 27. He also gave Banco Popular retroactive control and possession of the stores operated by Liborio and the Alejo family back through July 24.

Amanda Fontaine, executive director of the Memorial Burn Center in Jackson, presented the Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department three awards.
"You have an outstanding fire department," she told the mayor and board, adding that the burn center has been giving these awards for four years and Cleveland is always on top.
This year Brian Bishop and Ron McNeer, both receive Officer of the Year Awards.
"Brian received Rookie of the Year and Fireman of the Year, previously," said Fontaine. "Of course, you know Ron was featured in our calendar."
The Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department received an honorable mention for department of the year. Moss Point won the top honor.
"We know how special they are," said Mayor Billy Nowell. "We are real proud of them."
Following, Diane Makamson and the Cleveland Park Commission receive an award from the Dixie Youth World Series for their hard work in putting the series together last summer.
Makamson said the event could not have happened in Cleveland through the efforts of just one person. "This was through the combined efforts of the park commission, city, Delta State University and everyone."
Another kudos to the city is its rapidly escalating recycling program.
In the three weeks since its inception, Public Works Director Ray Bell reported that this staff is now picking up from the recycling bins downtown from nine to 10 times a day, plus weekends and holidays.
"This is not counting what is being dropped off at public works," he said.
Bell asked the board for $35,000 to purchase three larger recycling bins, a scale and a trailer.
"This will help us save money because we won't have to pick up as often," he said.
Aldermen asked about applying for a grant but Bell said applying for a grant from the Mississippi Department of Quality would compete with the Earth Day funding.
He said it would take several years for the program to begin paying for itself but Cleveland was already ahead of where Greenwood was when it started recycling.
"It took them about a year and a half to collect enough plastic for a bail. We're almost there now," said Brett Moorman, city community development director.
