The 2013 Santa Fe Sport looks familiar to Hyundai enthusiasts, as it replaces the old Santa Fe. Unlike the older model, though, the Sport's chassis is larger and lighter—allowing it to carry more and giving it a better fuel economy.
Everything. The old Santa Fe and the Veracruz have been replaced by two all-new Santa Fe Sports: one in the same five-passenger layout as the old Santa Fe and the other a long-wheelbase, three-row version that supplants the Veracruz.
The fully galvanized steel body of the Santa Fe Sport comes painted in several different choices of clear-coat monotone paint. The chrome grille helps define the front fascia. A lip spoiler also adds a nice accent to the front. An integrated roof antenna adds a touch of style to the roof. Wheels are either painted aluminum or silver aluminum, depending on the model, and come with all-season tires suitable for driving in most weather conditions. Deep tinted windows provide the driver and passengers with privacy and offer more protection from the sun. For more exposure to the sun, and for cool breezes, a sunroof is available.
The 2013 Santa Fe Sport comes standard with manual air-conditioning, with dual-zone front automatic available for additional comfort and convenience. An air filter and under-seat ducts work together to keep the air fresh and well circulated throughout the cabin. Front seats are bucket seats and rear seats use a 40/20/40-split bench. The driver's seat adjusts six ways in the base and eight ways with power in the 2.0T, to accommodate drivers of many different heights. The driver's seat also comes with lumbar support, for added comfort. The front passenger's seat adjusts four ways, with the option for it to be powered instead of manual. All seats come upholstered in premium cloth, with leather available for a little extra luxury. Heated front seats come standard on the 2.0T and remain available on the base for added comfort during cold weather.
The Sport's audio system comes with an AM/FM/Satellite/CD player. Music plays through six speakers, with 10 to 12 brand speakers available depending on the model. The audio system has MP3 capability, so hooking up a personal MP3 player is a breeze. Auxiliary audio input and Bluetooth compatibility also come standard with this system. Steering wheel audio controls make it easier for the driver to navigate the road and music settings at the same time. A navigation system is available, as well as a first-row LCD screen, for help with finding places when driving in unfamiliar locations. A compass helps with navigation for those who do not opt for the navigation system. A programmable garage door opener adds convenience.
With the rear seats up, the Sport can carry 34.2 cubic feet of cargo; with the seats down, it can carry up to 78.2 cubic feet of cargo. Cargo concealed storage comes standard, as do cargo tie downs for easier cargo management. A cargo net is available for help with containing smaller items.
Unfortunately, there are no crash tests ratings yet for the Santa Fe Sport. It has all the standard airbags for its class, though: driver and front-passenger frontal-impact airbags, driver and passenger side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags in the first and second rows. The airbags also come with an occupant sensor and the driver gets a knee protection airbag. Anti-lock brakes and driveline traction control work together to help the driver stay in control of the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport during poor driving conditions.
The Sport comes standard with In-Vehicle Assistance Service and Stolen-Vehicle tracking, for added piece of mind. Remote keyless entry comes standard through a key fob, which comes with a panic alarm for deterring theft. Unfortunately, ignition disable is not available. A keyless access system and a remote vehicle starting system provide optional convenience features.
Parking assist is available for drivers who would like help with parking in difficult spaces. The Sport warns the driver when the fuel level or tire pressure levels get low, but it does not give a warning when the vehicle need to be serviced.
The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport base comes with a 2.4-liter, 190-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. This engine produces 181 lb-ft of torque and gets 20-21/26-29 mpg city/highway. The 2.0T comes with a 2.0-liter, 264-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. This engine produces 269 lb-ft of torque and gets 19-20/24-27 mpg city/highway. This engine also comes with an intercooled turbocharger. Both engines pair with a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and auto-manual. Cruise control comes standard on all models.
The Santa Fe Sport gets supported by a strut suspension in the front and a multi-link suspension in the rear. The strut suspension provides extra support for carrying large loads of passengers and cargo, while the multi-link suspension allows for more versatility under different driving conditions and improves handling. Both suspensions come supported by coil springs to improve the ride through absorbing the impact of small bumps and road irregularities, and gas-pressurized shocks help absorb the impact of larger bumps.

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

Subject: Re: geopolitical weekly
I'm bringing this to the top because it's a key point in the piece that I
disagree with:
It is far from clear what will happen in Egypt now. The military remains
un-fragmented and powerful, and it is not clear how much actual power they
are prepared to cede or whether they will be forced to cede. What is
clear is that the faction championed by Western governments and the media
will now have to either make peace with the Islamist agenda, back the
military or fade into irrelevance.
That second point is no way clear because if the Islamists do not become
successful, as you question later, and the military does not cede as much
power as they appear to, then there will never be a real Islamist agenda
for the West to need to make peace with. All media outlets are falling
into the assumption that Egypt now will be under Islamist rule or is going
to be, when the scale that sets power, the constitution, has not been set
yet; we need to be careful to not do that. In emphasizing our deviation
from the basic Arab Spring assumption that revolution means democracy,
we're falling into another one that is more convenient to our argument -
that Islamists will have real power.
"the west does not yet have a clear "Islamist agenda" to face in reality,
but in their perception now they do, which is where the Idealist-Realist
debate is key" <- that should be our line.

Egypt and the Idealist-Realist Debate in U.S. Foreign Policy
The first round of Egyptian Parliamentary elections have taken place and
the winners were the Islamists. The Islamists are themselves split
between more extreme and more moderate factions, but what is clear is
that the secularists that dominated the demonstrations and were the
focus of the Arab Spring narrative made a poor showing. Of the three
broad power blocs in Egypt-Military, Islamists and secular democrats,
the latter proved the weakest.

One of the points I made back during the height of the Arab Spring was
that the West should be careful of what it wished for. It might get it.
Democracy does not always bring secular democrats to power. To be more
precise, democracy might yield a popular government, but the assumption
that that government would support a liberal democratic constitution
that conceives of human rights in the Euro-American sense is by no means
certain. Unrest does not always lead to a revolution. A revolution does
not always lead to democracy. Democracy does not always lead to
Euro-American constitutions.
It is not clear where Egypt will go. It is far from clear that the
Egyptian military will cede power in any practical sense, that the
Islamists can form a coherent government, or how extreme that government
might turn out to be. This really isn't about Egypt. Rather, Egypt
serves as a specimen to study-it is a case study in an inherent
contradiction in Western ideology, and ultimately, in the attempt to
create a coherent foreign policy.
The West, following the principles of the French Revolution, have two
core beliefs. The first is the concept of national self-determination,
the idea that all nations-and what a nation means is complex in
itself-have the right to determine for themselves the type of government
they wish. The second is the idea of human rights, which are defined in
several documents but are all built around the basic values of
individual rights, and particularly the right not only to participate in
politics, but to be free in your private life from government intrusion.
The first principle leads to the idea of the democratic foundations of
the state. The second leads to the idea that the state must be limited
in its power in certain ways, and the individual free to pursue his own
life in his own way within a framework of law limited by the principles
of liberal democracy. The core assumption within this is that a
democratic polity will yield a liberal constitution. This assumes that
the majority of the citizens, left to their own devices, will favor the
enlightenments definition of human rights. The assumption was this
simple, while the application was tremendously complex. But in the end,
the premise of the Euro-American project was that national
self-determination, expressed through free elections, would create and
sustain constitutional democracies.
It is interesting to note that human rights groups and
neo-conservatives, who on the surface are ideologically opposed,
actually share this core belief. Both believe that democracy and human
rights flow from the same source, and that creating democratic regimes
will create human rights. The Neo-conservatives believe outside
military intervention might be an efficient agent for this. The human
rights groups oppose this, preferring to organize and underwrite
democratic movements, and use measures like sanctions and courts to
compel oppressive regimes to cede power. But these two apparently
opposed groups actually share two core beliefs. The first is that
democracy will yield constitutional democracy. The second is that
outside intervention by different means is needed to facilitate the
emergence of an oppressed public naturally inclined toward these things.
<- this is a great point and this is the perfect forum in which to
highlight it.
This then yields a theory of foreign policy in which the underlying
strategic principle must be not only the support of existing
constitutional democracies, but also bringing power to bear to weaken
oppressive regimes and free the people to choose to build the kind of
regimes that reflect the values of the European enlightenment.
The case of Egypt raises the interesting and obvious question-regardless
of how it all turns out. What if there are democratic elections and the
people choose a regime that violates the principles of western human
rights? What for example happens if after tremendous Western effort to
force democratic elections, the electorate chooses to reject Western
values and pursue a very different direction-for example one that
regards Western values as morally reprehensible and chooses to make war
on it <- it's a good statement in the hypothetical but doesn't apply to
MB in Egypt, so this should be moved elsewhere or we should clarify that
we are not saying MB has launched a war on the west, which is how it
will be read. The obvious example is Adolph Hitler, whose ascent to
power was fully in keeping with the processes of the Weimar Republic, a
democratic regime, and whose intention, clearly stated, was to supersede
that regime with one that was, popular (and there is little doubt but
that the Nazi regime had vast public support), opposed to
constitutionalism in the democratic sense, and hostile to constitutional
democracy in other countries.
The assumption is that the destruction of repressive regimes opens the
door for democratic elections and those democratic elections will not
result in another repressive regime, at least by Western standards. But
this assumes that all societies find Western values admirable and want
to emulate it. This is sometimes the case, but the general assertion is
a form of narcissism in the West, that assumes that all reasonable
people, freed from oppression, would wish to emulate us.
At this moment in history, the obvious counter-argument rests in some,
and not all, Islamic movements. We do not know that the Egyptian
Islamists <--- agree with stick in that we cannot first generalize all
of the Islamists in Egypt and then project that generalization on all
Islamic movements today will be successful not clear what you mean by
"successful" here and we don't know what ideology they will pursue, nor
do we know if the FJP and Nour will even form a coalition together; it
is very possible the FJP will seek to bring in the secular Egyptian Bloc
and intentionally box out the Salafists. If this happens it would
somewhat go against the ideas presented about the MB thus far; I would
include it as a possibility at least but they are Islamists and their is
different from those of the French Enlightenment. From their view of
the relations of the individual to the community to the view of
obligation to their understanding of the distinction between the public
and private sphere, Islamists have a principled disagreement with the
West. In Egypt, the Their opposition to the Egyptian military regime
was not that it limited individual freedom well come on, this was
definitely a part of it, if only for them, the Islamists. There are ways
to word this sentence without it coming across as so contrarian that it
actually detracts from the value of the claim. "Their opposition to the
regime was not so much that it limited invidiual freedom as it was that
it violated..." etc but that it violated their understanding of the
moral purpose of the regime. It was not that they weren't democratic
not "they were democratic," but rather, "It wasn't that they were
fundamentally opposed to the concept of democracy." Two different things
-they claimed, apparently with some right-that they spoke for the
Egyptian people. Rather it was that they had a different, and in their
view superior, concept of moral political life.
They are not separate. The islamists (and here the generalization is okay)
use the violations of those individual freedoms to claim that their
conception of moral political life is superior.
The collision between the doctrine of national self-determination and
the western notion of human rights is not an abstract question but an
extremely practical one for Europe and the United States. Egypt is the
largest Arab country and one of the major centers of Islamic life.
Since 1954 1952? it has had a secular and militarist government. Since
1973 it has been a pro-Western government. At a time when the United
States is trying to bring its wars in the Islamic world to an end, along
with its NATO partners in Afghanistan, and with relations with Iran,
already poor, getting worse, the democratic transformation of Egypt into
a radical Islamic regime would shift the balance of power in the region
There is therefore the question of the type of regime Egypt has, whether
it was democratically elected and whether it respects human rights, two
very different questions. There is then the question of how this new
regime might effect the United States and other countries. The same can
be said, for example of Syria, where an oppressive regime is resisting a
movement that some in the West regard as democratic. It may be, but its
moral principle might be anathema to the West. At the same time the old
repressive regime might be unpopular but more in the interests of the
Pose this question then. Assume there is a choice between a repressive,
undemocratic regime that is in the interest of the a Western country,
and a regime that is democratic but repressive by Western standards and
hostile to the these interests. Which is preferable and what steps
should be taken?
These are blindingly complex questions that some-called Realists as
opposed to Idealists-say are not only unanswerable, but undermine the
ability to pursue the national interest without in anyway improving the
moral character of the world. In other words, you are choosing between
two types of repression from a Western point of view and there is no
preference. Therefore a country like the United States should ignore
the moral question altogether and focus on a simpler question, and one
that's answerable-the national interest.
Egypt is an excellent place to point out the tension within U.S. foreign
policy in particular between Idealists who argue that pursuing
enlightenment principles is the national interest, and realists who
argue that the pursuit of principles is very different from their
attainment, and you wind up with neither just regimes nor protect the
United States. In other words, the United States could wind up with a
regime hostile to the United States and equally if differently
oppressive by American standards. There would be no moral improvement
but a practical disaster.
There is a temptation to accept the realist argument. Its weakness is
that its definition of the national interest is never clear. The
physical protection of the United States is obviously an issue-and given
9-11 it is not a trivial matter. At the same time, the physical safety
of the United States is not always at stake. What exactly is our
interest in Egypt and does it matter to us whether or not it is
pro-American? There are answers to this but they are not always obvious
and the Realists frequently have trouble defining the national
interest. Even if we accept the idea that the primary objective of US
foreign policy is securing the national interest irrespective of moral
considerations-what exactly is the national interest.
It seems to me that two principles emerge. The first is that having no
principles beyond interest is untenable. Interest seems very tough
minded but it is really a vapid concept when you drill into it. An
example of interest without principles would be good here. The second is
that there can be no moral good without power. Proclaiming a principle
without pursuing the power to pursue it is a form of narcissism. You
know you are doing no good but talking about it makes you feel
superior. Interest is not enough and morality without power is mere
So what is to be done in Egypt. The first thing is to recognize that
little can be done not because it is impermissible morally, but because
practically Egypt is a big country, hard to influence, and meddling and
failing is worse than doing nothing at all. Second, it must be
understood that Egypt matters and the outcome of this affair is not a
matter of indifference given the past decade.
An American strategy on Egypt-one that goes beyond policy papers in
Washington-is hard to define. But a number of points can be deduced
from this exercise. First, it is essential to not create myths. The
myth of the Egyptian revolution was that it was going to create a
constitutional democracy like Western democracies. That simply wasn't
the issue on the table. The issue was between the military regime and
an Islamist regime. Clearly this is much too simplistic a sentence,
"blindingly complex" like you say earlier. It is true that these two
things represent opposite ends of a spectrum, several points on which
the final outcome could fall. But there is not simply a choice between
on or the other. This brings the second point, which is that sometimes,
in confronting two different forms of repression, the issue is to select
the one most in the national interest. That will force you to define
the national interest, but that is salutary.
Washington, like all capitals, likes policies and hates political
philosophy. The policies frequently fail to come to grips with reality,
because the policy makers don't grasp the philosophical implications.
The contradiction inherent in the human rights and neo-conservative
approach are one thing. But the inability of the Realists to define
with rigor what the national interest consists of creates policy papers
of monumental insignificance. Both sides create polemics as a
substitute for thought.
Its at moments like Egypt that this really is driven home. One side
really believed that Egypt would become like Minnesota. The other side
new it wouldn't and devised a plan to be tough minded-but not tough
minded enough to define what the point of the plan was. This is the
crisis of U.S. foreign policy. It has always been there, but given
American power, it is one that creates global instability. One part of
the American regime wants to be just; the other part wants to be tough.
Neither realize that such a distinction is the root of the problem.
Look at American (and European) policy toward Egypt and I think you can
see the problem.
The solution does not rest in slogans or ideology, nor in soft versus
hard power. It rests in clarity on both the moral mission of the regime
and requirement that the regime understand and wield power effectively.
It requires the study of political philosophy. Jean Jacques Rousseau
with his distinction between the General Will and the Will of the Many
might be a good place to start. Or reading the common sense of Mark
Twain would be a more pleasant substitute.

Many things in life are more than the sum of their parts. Whether its the behaviour of crowds of people, flocking birds or shoaling fish, the unpredictable patterns of the weather or the complex structure of the Internet, it's often the interaction between things, rather than the things themselves, that generates complexity. It's a challenge to science, whose traditional approach of taking things apart and looking at the individual bits doesn't work when faced with emergent complexity. But there are mathematical techniques to understand this phenomenon. |

Random raid factors and the high cost of failure
Compare this to encounters where the primary difficulty is role-specific or even player-specific. Good DPSers pushed their output to the limit on Patchwerk, healers learned to anticipate damage during Malygos' Vortex while one or two people got good at yanking sparks into the raid, and tanks grew experienced with fast pick-ups on Kael'thas. But the average raid group, even when experienced, probably tripped over and over again on encounters like Teron Gorefiend or Anub'arak. When you can't control who gets targeted by Shadow of Death or Anub'arak's spikes and when the randomness limits the experience that any one player can get ... Well, it's easy to see how certain fights acquire the nightmare moniker.

In commemoration of that day Bolivar County First Responders will hold a ceremony Wednesday at the intersection of Miss. Highway 8 and U.S. Highway 61.
"We will assemble around 7 a.m. and block the intersection at 7:53 a.m., which was around the time that the first plan crashed into the tower, " said Sheriff Kelvin Williams.
"We will have a moment of silence to pay our respects for the lives lost in the Sept. 11 tragedy. All emergency staff will attend the commemoration. Citizens are also welcomed; the highway will be blocked. We will stop and park our cars for a few minutes, for a moment of silence," added Williams.
Cleveland Police and Fire Department will also commemorate the event.
"We're going to blow our sirens around the time that the first plane hit and have a moment of silence," said Cleveland Police Chief Buster Bingham.
On Sept. 11 four coordinated attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four passenger airliners.
Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center Complex in New York City.
Within two hours both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center Complex.
The attacks resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims.

Most digestive problems can originate in the stomach, the small intestine or both. Indigestion termed dyspepsia carries a long list of symptoms ranging from abdominal pain, allergic reactions, belching and bloating, a burning sensation after eating, alternating constipation and diarrhea, chronic fatigue, gas galore, insomnia, cravings, skin problems, vomiting or heartburn.
Sheez! Now how do we fix it? For starters, try not to chew with your mouth open or while talking. Slow down when eating or drinking. If possible, chew each bite of food ten to fifteen times before swallowing as the first step in digestion is to 'masticate' your food. Yes, like a cow, chewing sets up a chain effect, calling digestive acids and enzymes to the forefront, hence assisting in breaking down your food.
Next, try not to drink liquids with your meals. This can dilute both your hydrochloric acid (HCL) and your enzymes. Lastly, attempt to sip, not gulp, liquids as air can become trapped and thereby increase bloating.
There is a small litany of foods known to increase dyspepsia. These foods tend to be the most beloved by most folks most of the time. Here goes (don't shoot the messenger!): alcohol, caffeine (yes, coffee), greasy, spicy, or fried foods, and lastly, high carb or high sugar foods. All of the above aforementioned foods literally rob your body of not only enzymes (the key to awesome digestion) but also precious vitamins and minerals.
Beyond these you may have malabsorption issues, an overgrowth of the wrong kind of bacteria and not enough of the good bacteria. Perhaps you have a sluggish gallbladder due to years of no fat/ low fat or low dietary fiber intake – time to do a gall bladder cleanse:
At bedtime: 4 oz. Apple Juice
4 oz. Olive Oil
In the morning: 4 oz. Olive Oil
4 oz. Apple Juice
One hour later, and every hour until midday, drink:
4 oz. Apple Juice
4 oz. Distilled Water
Midday: 4 oz. Tomato Juice
4 oz. Corn Oil
Every hour after that until bedtime:
4 oz. Apple Juice
4 oz. Distilled Water
A peptic ulcer could also be the culprit or liver congestion (not enough exercise perhaps?).
Funky things can grow in a GI tract that is compromised – consider parasites or candida. If one has years of prescription medication abuse, chemical exposure or high alcohol consumption, then you have unwittingly helped to create your own gaseous monster.
To assess if you have ample HCL, take this simple at home test:
Take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice when bloated. If your indigestion goes away you need more HCL. If your symptoms get worse, your HCL is too excessive. Dairy-free probiotics in powder will help to lower excess HCL.
If you burp like crazy or cannot stop creating gas you may be low in bicarbonate. Take ½ tsp of baking soda with ¼ cup water at room temperature. If your burping or gas goes away, keep taking the aforementioned dose as needed.
Last but most importantly, take proteolytic enzymes regularly. Find the highest dose you can. A product that contains protease, amylase, cellulose, and lipase is a must. If it also contains pancreatin this is a bonus.

Jacob comes to the well of Haran. (1-8) His interview with Rachel, Laban entertains him. (9-14) Jacob's covenant for Rachel, Laban's deceit. (15-30) Leah's sons. (31-35)
Verses 1-8 Jacob proceeded cheerfully in his journey, after the sweet communion he had with God at Beth-el. Providence brought him to the field where his uncle's flocks were to be watered. What is said of the care of the shepherds for their sheep, may remind us of the tender concern which our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, has for his flock the church; for he is the good Shepherd, that knows his sheep, and is known of them. The stone at the well's mouth was to secure it; water was scarce, it was not there for every one's use: but separate interests should not take us from helping one another. When all the shepherds came together with their flocks, then, like loving neighbours, they watered their flocks together. The law of kindness in the tongue has a commanding power, ( Proverbs 31:26 ) . Jacob was civil to these strangers, and he found them civil to him.
Verses 9-14 See Rachel's humility and industry. Nobody needs to be ashamed of honest, useful labour, nor ought it to hinder any one's preferment. When Jacob understood that this was his kinswoman, he was very ready to serve her. Laban, though not the best humoured, bade him welcome, and was satisfied with the account Jacob gave of himself. While we avoid being foolishly ready to believe every thing which is told us, we must take heed of being uncharitably suspicious.
Verses 15-30 During the month that Jacob spent as a guest, he was not idle. Wherever we are, it is good to employ ourselves in some useful business. Laban was desirous that Jacob should continue with him. Inferior relations must not be imposed upon; it is our duty to reward them. Jacob made known to Laban the affection he had for his daughter Rachel. And having no wordly goods with which to endow her, he promises seven years' service Love makes long and hard services short and easy; hence we read of the labour of love, ( Hebrews 6:10 ) . If we know how to value the happiness of heaven, the sufferings of this present time will be as nothing to us. An age of work will be but as a few days to those that love God, and long for Christ's appearing. Jacob, who had imposed upon his father, is imposed upon by Laban, his father-in-law, by a like deception. Herein, how unrighteous soever Laban was, the Lord was righteous: see ( Judges 1:7 ) . Even the righteous, if they take a false step, are sometimes thus recompensed in the earth. And many who are not, like Jacob, in their marriage, disappointed in person, soon find themselves, as much to their grief, disappointed in the character. The choice of that relation ought to be made with good advice and thought on both sides. There is reason to believe that Laban's excuse was not true. His way of settling the matter made bad worse. Jacob was drawn into the disquiet of multiplying wives. He could not refuse Rachel, for he had espoused her; still less could he refuse Leah. As yet there was no express command against marrying more than one wife. It was in the patriarchs a sin of ignorance; but it will not justify the like practice now, when God's will is plainly made known by the Divine law, ( Leviticus 18:18 ) , and more fully since, by our Saviour, that one man and woman ( 1 Corinthians. 7:2 )
Verses 31-35 The names Leah gave her children, expressed her respect and regard, both to God and to her husband. Reuben, or See a son, with this thought, Now will my husband love me; Levi, or joined, expecting, Now will my husband be joined unto me. Mutual affection is both the duty and comfort of the married relation; and yoke-fellows should study to recommend themselves to each ( 1 Corinthians. 7:33 1 Corinthians. 7:34 ) providence of God in hearing her. Whatever supports and comforts us under afflictions, or tends to our deliverance from them, God must be owned in it. Her fourth son she called Judah, or praise, saying, Now will I praise the Lord. This was he, of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came. Whatever is the matter of our rejoicing, ought to be the matter of our thanksgiving. Fresh favours should quicken us to praise God for former favours; Now will I praise the Lord more and better than I have done. All our praises must centre in Christ, both as the matter of them, and as the Mediator of them. He descended after the flesh from him whose name was "Praise," and He is our praise. Is Christ formed in my heart? Now will I praise the Lord.
Genesis 29:1-35 . THE WELL OF HARAN.
1. Then Jacob went, &c.--Hebrew, "lifted up his feet." He resumed his way next morning with a light heart and elastic step after the vision of the ladder; for tokens of the divine favor tend to quicken the discharge of duty ( Nehemiah 8:10 ).
and came into the land, &c.--Mesopotamia and the whole region beyond the Euphrates are by the sacred writers designated "the East" ( Judges 6:3 , 1 Kings 4:30 , Job 1:3 ). Between the first and the second clause of this verse is included a journey of four hundred miles.
2. And he looked, &c.--As he approached the place of his destination, he, according to custom, repaired to the well adjoining the town where he would obtain an easy introduction to his relatives.
3. thither were all the flocks gathered; and a stone, &c.--In Arabia, owing to the shifting sands and in other places, owing to the strong evaporation, the mouth of a well is generally covered, especially when it is private property. Over many is laid a broad, thick, flat stone, with a round hole cut in the middle, forming the mouth of the cistern. This hole is covered with a heavy stone which it would require two or three men to roll away. Such was the description of the well at Haran.
4. Jacob said, My brethren--Finding from the shepherds who were reposing there with flocks and who all belonged to Haran, that his relatives in Haran were well and that one of the family was shortly expected, he enquired why they were idling the best part of the day there instead of watering their flocks and sending them back to pasture.
8. They said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered--In order to prevent the consequences of too frequent exposure in places where water is scarce, the well is not only covered, but it is customary to have all the flocks collected round it before the covering is removed in presence of the owner or one of his representatives; and it was for this reason that those who were reposing at the well of Haran with the three flocks were waiting the arrival of Rachel.
9-11. While he yet spake with them, Rachel came--Among the pastoral tribes the young unmarried daughters of the greatest sheiks tend the flocks, going out at sunrise and continuing to watch their fleecy charges till sunset. Watering them, which is done twice a day, is a work of time and labor, and Jacob rendered no small service in volunteering his aid to the young shepherdess. The interview was affecting, the reception welcome, and Jacob forgot all his toils in the society of his Mesopotamian relatives. Can we doubt that he returned thanks to God for His goodness by the way?
12. Jacob told Rachel, &c.--According to the practice of the East, the term "brother" is extended to remote degrees of relationship, as uncle, cousin, or nephew.
14-20. he abode a month--Among pastoral people a stranger is freely entertained for three days; on the fourth day he is expected to tell his name and errand; and if he prolongs his stay after that time, he must set his hand to work in some way, as may be agreed upon. A similar rule obtained in Laban's establishment, and the wages for which his nephew engaged to continue in his employment was the hand of Rachel.
17. Leah tender-eyed--that is, soft blue eyes--thought a blemish.
Rachel beautiful and well-favored--that is, comely and handsome in form. The latter was Jacob's choice.
18. I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy daughter--A proposal of marriage is made to the father without the daughter being consulted, and the match is effected by the suitor either bestowing costly presents on the family, or by giving cattle to the value the father sets upon his daughter, or else by giving personal services for a specified period. The last was the course necessity imposed on Jacob; and there for seven years he submitted to the drudgery of a hired shepherd, with the view of obtaining Rachel. The time went rapidly away; for even severe and difficult duties become light when love is the spring of action.
21. Jacob said, Give me my wife--At the expiry of the stipulated term the marriage festivities were held. But an infamous fraud was practised on Jacob, and on his showing a righteous indignation, the usage of the country was pleaded in excuse. No plea of kindred should ever be allowed to come in opposition to the claim of justice. But this is often overlooked by the selfish mind of man, and fashion or custom rules instead of the will of God. This was what Laban did, as he said, "It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the first-born." But, then, if that were the prevailing custom of society at Haran, he should have apprized his nephew of it at an early period in an honorable manner. This, however, is too much the way with the people of the East still. The duty of marrying an elder daughter before a younger, the tricks which parents take to get off an elder daughter that is plain or deformed and in which they are favored by the long bridal veil that entirely conceals her features all the wedding day, and the prolongation for a week of the marriage festivities among the greater sheiks, are accordant with the habits of the people in Arabia and Armenia in the present day.
28. gave him Rachel also--It is evident that the marriage of both sisters took place nearly about the same time, and that such a connection was then allowed, though afterwards prohibited ( Leviticus 18:18 ).
29. gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah to be her maid--A father in good circumstances still gives his daughter from his household a female slave, over whom the young wife, independently of her husband, has the absolute control.
31. Leah . . . hated--that is, not loved so much as she ought to have been. Her becoming a mother ensured her rising in the estimation both of her husband and of society.
32-35. son . . . his name Reuben--Names were also significant; and those which Leah gave to her sons were expressive of her varying feelings of thankfulness or joy, or allusive to circumstances in the history of the family. There was piety and wisdom in attaching a signification to names, as it tended to keep the bearer in remembrance of his duty and the claims of God.

Baseball teams do not care about their fans. I came to this realization today.
And I don't say this for the reasons you think – it's not the jawdropping prices on tickets and water (HUMAN NECESSITY, by the way) or the fact that they trade everyone's favorite players or only give away their junky bobbleheads to a completely arbitrary number of people just so they can watch us get trampled/kill ourselves after all that time surrounded by raw and horrifying humanity.
No. I'm not talking about any of that. Although on second thought…
Still no. I'm talking about the alarming way that they all do things on the same day in the offseason. Weeks (okay, it's actually days, but it's the offseason and we're baseball fans and it feels like weeks) go by with nothing happening except for the odd rumor about a player you may or may not have heard of going to a team you may or may not have heard of. I am partially kidding and partially looking at you, Indians.
And then suddenly they all decide on one day they're going to tear up the World Wide Web and make all their moves and make their fans' heads spontaneously combust.
Ahem. Josh Hamilton signed with the Angels today much to his surprise and her surprise and meanwhile, the Giants were all, LOL, that was just a joke, of course we want Andres Torres. And they signed him again. We fans responded, "Yes, duh, we were wondering what getting rid of him was about. Glad it was a joke. LOL or whatever."
While I'm happy about the Torres move because hell, how could you not be, I am really hating the world because of the Josh Hamilton thing. Baseballisabusiness, but signing within the division is not a nice move under the best of circumstances, which are not Josh Hamilton's, and if what the Rangers are saying is true, that Hamilton didn't call them until the deal was all inked, then that doubly does not make Hamilton look very good. I am unusually angry at him.
I think Hamilton is an extraordinary player, but I think the Rangers will be all right without him. Likewise, I don't think either of the cash-happy LA teams will finish in first place next season. Not even second place, if you peek in my crystal ball. The Rangers are in a very interesting position right now and I think they will certainly make some significant moves either now or at the trade deadline, while in the NL West, the Giants are eying the Dodgers but pretty much staying put, but I am of the opinion that both teams will be just fine. In addition to being the new Moneyball, in a strange turn of events.
But I can say with certainty that everyone will do silly giveaways for the first 20,000 fans and sell $8 water. It's nice that some things never change.

My love for Fage Total 2% Greek Yogurt is well documented with the good reviews that I gave to the Original & Cherry flavors. I wanted to try all the flavors, so, next uo, I got my hands on the Peach, and I was confident that this would rock too.
Unfortunately, this one was a bit disappointing - it was just somewhat blah. Maybe the peach mixture was just not robust enough to stand up to the rich yogurt, but whatever the case may be, this was not nearly as good as the cherry.
Although it may not have been one of my favorites, it was still not too bad and I did eat the entire thing. Like the Cherry flavor, each 5.3 ounce container of Fage Total 2% Peach Yogurt provides 130 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat of which 1.5 grams is saturated (4% and 8% of the daily value), 2% of the DV for sodium,no fiber, 17 grams of sugar and 11 grams of protein.
FAGE TOTAL Yogurt is 100% natural with no added sweeteners, thickeners or preservatives - the ingredients are, Grade A Pasteurized Skimmed Milk and Cream, Live Active Yogurt Cultures(l.bulgarigus,s.thermophilus). Peach Fruit Preparation(20%): Peaches (8%),Sugar,corn Starch,lemon Juice Concentrate,natural Flavor,xanthan..
I paid $1.89 for a container, and like I said before, it's not my favorite flavor, and I probably won't be buying this one again. I still love you though Fage. I can totally understand the "Greek yogurt snobs" - it's so thick, filling as a snack & delicious. But still, there is a lot of added sugar, and when I'm watching my diet more closely, I tend to stick to the "light" yogurts with less sugar.

What do you think about the Easton FX1 Fastpitch Softball Bat: FP14X1 ? |

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Easton FX1 Fastpitch Softball Bat: FP14X1? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionIs this bat better than the worth 2legit?
Both the 2014 Easton FX1 (FP14X1) and the 2014 Worth 2 Legit (FPLGC) are great models and are top of the line composite bats. The difference would be that the FX1 is end-loaded and the 2 Legit is balanced. The bats also feature different connection point technology that offers different feel.
What's the difference between the FX1 and the FX2? The only thing I can see is that the FX1 is a two-piece and the FX2 is a one-piece, but both are end loaded. So what is the advantage of one over the other?
Correct, the 2014 Easton FX1 (FP14X1 Fastpitch) is a two-piece design, where as the FX2 is a one-piece. The major difference in those types of designs is that the two-piece will flex more during the swing. It will help acquire faster bat speeds. The FX2 will have a stiffer feel. I see many power hitting girls prefer the one-piece design when driving balls into the outfield. Both of these bats will have a barrel heavy feel for added power.
How does this bat compare to the MAKO? Does this bat take a decent amount of time to break-in, not hot out of the wrapper?
The 2014 Easton FX1 (FP14X1) is a two-piece composite bat with an extended barrel. It is a an end loaded bat that is designed for a power hitter. The 2014 Easton MAKO (FP14MK) is also a two-piece composite bat with an extended barrel. However, it is a balanced bat that is best suited for a contact hitter. Both bats will require a break-in period.
Product Description
Last season, Easton's Power Brigade Series dominated the softball diamond. This season, the all new Power Brigade Series picks up right where the original Series left off so the concept of the Power Brigade remains the same: allow players to personalize their power. The fact is, that players draw power from different sources. Stronger players may want a bit more weight and endload to their bat, while smaller players want a little less weight and a balanced feel. Easton solves this problem by offering Power Brigade bats in two categories: The Speed Series and The XL Series. Speed Series bats (FS1, FS2, and FS3) are characterized by lighter length to weight ratios and balanced swing weights to produce faster swing speeds and more power as a result. XL Series bats (FX1 and FX2) are going to be a little heavier and have a endloaded feel, giving stronger players extra momentum through the zone and more power behind each swing. This bat, the FX1, is a two-piece fully composite design that features a barrel made from Easton's IMX Composite that uses ConneXion Technology to connect it to an ultra-thin handle made from their SIC Black Carbon Composite. If you're looking for extra POWER this season, there's only one logical choice: The Easton Power Brigade! Easton: Personalize Your Power! The FX1 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by Easton's exclusive 12 Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

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

H.R. Giger is no longer with us…
Sad news today.
It has been confirmed that HR Giger, the man whose visual influence was felt above all others throughout the entire Alien franchise, has died at the age of 74 after a fall at home.
There's not much to say that hasn't already been said about his genius, so I'm not going to bother waffling on. We can just be grateful that Ridley Scott spotted his work and brought him onboard Alien, giving us the most original creature ever seen on screen.
Even though he didn't have the in-depth involvement in Prometheus that many might have hoped for, the movie still paid brilliant tribute to his work, with recreations and adaptations of much of his Alien artwork.

Washington, D.C., Feb 14, 2013 -- The city of Prairie du Sac, Wis., this week was awarded the gold medal for best-tasting rural water in the nation during the Great American Water Taste Test, held at the National Rural Water Association's (NRWA) Water Rally in Washington, D.C. USDA Rural Utilities Service Acting Administrator John Padalino served on the judging panel. Padalino administers USDA water and environmental programs.
"This event is a reminder of how essential rural water infrastructure is to every community in America," Padalino said. "A strong rural water network leads to a strong rural America. A strong rural America leads to a stronger America, where food, energy, goods and services are plentiful. Congratulations to the hard-working water utility operators and the community of Prairie du Sac in Wisconsin."
The City of Emporia, Kan. won second place, and Village of Psagh, Iowa, placed third. Other finalists included the Village of Roscommon, Mich., and the Village of Trenton, Neb.
A panel of judges selected the finalists from entries across the United States. Each sample was judged on clarity, bouquet and taste.
Earlier this week, Padalino spoke at the NWRA 2013 Rural Water Rally and at the Rural Community Assistance Partnership annual board meeting. At both events, the Administrator, a former water system's operator, emphasized the need for continued investment in rural water and waste disposal infrastructure.
Since 2009, USDA has invested $8 billion in new and improved infrastructure that will benefit 4.5 million households and businesses and 12.4 million rural residents.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $176 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

Monday, 13 June 2011 | |
By Brian Liskai Two-time and defending All Star champion Tim Shaffer would grab three wins during the week – including the $10,000 finale at Fremont – to finish just three points behind Gavel in the speedweek championship battle. Four time speedweek champion and current National and Ohio Region point leader Dale Blaney would finish third in the speedweek points, recording two victories during the week. In fact, Blaney has not finished out of the top five in speedweek points since 2002. Multi-time Attica and Fremont champion Byron Reed would take the win at Attica during speedweek with Rob Chaney (Hilltop) and Sweet (Waynesfield) taking the other victories during the week. Last year, the average car counts over speedweek were in the mid-30s with Attica having the high car-count of the week at 42. There were 86 different drivers who competed during the nine nights of racing. On a little bit of a sad note, the 2011 Ohio Sprint Speedweek will not see Mark Keegan in competition, marking the first time in the event's 29-year history the Fremont, Ohio native hasn't raced in at least one speedweek event. Keegan retired after the 2010 season. The All Star tradition begins Friday, June 17 at Attica Raceway Park in Northern Ohio, then heads south to KC Raceway near Chillicothe on Saturday, June 18. Then its north to one of the original speedweek tracks – Millstream Speedway near Findlay – on Sunday, June 19. Monday finds the All Stars travelling down I-75 to "the Field," Waynesfield Raceway Park, followed by the first of two stops at the historic Fremont Speedway on Tuesday, June 21. Wednesday, June 22 fines the All Stars at another of the traditional speedweek stops – Sharon Speedway near Hartford, Ohio. Everyone collects their breath on Thursday before finishing out speedweek on Friday, June 24 at Limaland Motorsports Park and the finale at Fremont Speedway on Saturday, June 25. |
