The UCL Institute of Education (IOE) is a constituent faculty of University College London located in London, UK. It specializes in postgraduate study and research in the field of education. Prior to merging in 2014 into UCL, the largest constituent college of the federal University of London, IOE itself was an independent constituent college of the University of London. The IOE is generally recognised as one of the best institutions focusing on educational research[2] It is currently the No. 1 university in the field of education according to the QS World University Rankings [3] However, the 2014 Research Excellence Framework ranks IOE research less positively and places the university in 11th place overall in the UK, behind institutions such as Oxford, Kings and Cambridge.[4]
The IOE is the largest education research body in the United Kingdom, with over 700 research students in the doctoral school. It also has the largest portfolio of postgraduate programmes in education in the UK, with approximately 4,000 students taking Master's programmes, and a further 1,200 students on PGCE teacher-training courses.
At any one time the IOE hosts over 100 research projects funded by Research Councils, government departments and other agencies. The Institute publishes Educate~ The Journal of Doctoral Research in Education.
In 1900, a report on the training of teachers, produced by the Higher Education Sub-Committee of the Technical Education Board (TEB) of the London County Council, called for further provision for the training of teachers in London in universities.[5] The TEB submitted a scheme to the Senate of the University of London for a new day training college which would train teachers of both sexes when most existing courses were taught in single sex colleges or departments. The principal of the proposed college was also to act as the Professor of the Theory, History and Practice of Education at the University.[6] The new college was opened on 6 October 1902 as the London Day Training College under the administration of the LCC[7]
Its first Principal was Sir John Adams, who had previously been the Professor of Education at University of Glasgow.[8] Adams was joined with a mistress and master of Method (later Vice-Principals).[9] The bulk of the teaching was carried out by the Vice-Principals and other specialists were appointed to teach specific subjects, including Cyril Burt.[10] Initially the LDTC only provided teacher training courses lasting between 1 and 3 years.[11]
In 1909 the LDTC became a school of the University of London and was wholly transferred to the University and was renamed the University of London, Institute of Education.[12] Gradually the Institute expanded its activities and began to train secondary school teachers and offered higher degrees. It also moved into specific areas of research with its Child Development Department, administered by Susan Sutherland Isaacs and the training of teachers for the colonial service. At the outbreak of World War II, the Institute was temporarily transferred to the University of Nottingham.
As a result of the report of the McNair Committee, which was established by the Board of Education to examine recruitment and training of teachers and youth leaders a new scheme for teacher training was established in England.[13] 'Area Training Organisations' (ATO) were created to co-ordinate the provision of teacher training and were responsible for the overall administration of all colleges of education within their area.[14] The ATO for the London area was based at the University London under the name University of London, Institute of Education, which was responsible for around 30 existing colleges of education and education departments, including the existing Institute of Education. The colleges (known as 'constituent colleges' of the Institute) prepared students for the 'Certificate in Education' of the Institute, and latterly for the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Humanities degrees of the University. The existing Institute (referred to as the 'Central Institute') and the new ATO (referred to as the 'Wider Institute') had separate identities, but confusingly were administered from the same building and by the same administrate staff. This dual identity continued until the Wider Institute gradually disappeared and was finally dissolved in 1975, coinciding with the closure (or 'merger' with local polytechnics and other institutions) of many of the colleges of education.
In 1987 the Institute once again became a school of the University of London and was incorporated by Royal Charter.
The Institute of Education and University College London formed a strategic alliance in October 2012, including co-operation in teaching, research and the development of the London schools system.[15]
The first home of the Institute of Education (as the London Day Training College) was Passmore Edwards Hall on Clare Market, which belonged to the London School of Economics. It moved again in its second year to the Northampton Technical Institute in Finsbury and the College of Preceptors building in Bloomsbury Square.[16] In 1907 the College moved to its first purpose built building on Southampton Row.[17] In 1938, the Institute moved to the Senate House complex of the University of London on Malet Street.[18] After World War II, the Senate House complex became unworkable due to a sharp increase in numbers of students. The Institute began to expand into other buildings in the neighbouring area, including four houses on Bedford Way which were leased as a residential hall for students in 1946, a building on Tavistock Square as home of the music department in 1958, and a few 'huts' on Malet Street (formerly belonging to the University of London Student Union) where the library was transferred.[19] In 1960, plans were prepared for a new building on Bedford Way designed by Denys Lasdun, though only part of his initial design was completed.[20] The library was one of the aspects dropped from the design and in 1968 it was moved from huts into a converted office block on Ridgemount Street.[21] The Bedford building was completed in 1975 and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, Chancellor of the University of London in 1977.[22] The library finally moved into an extension of the Bedford Way building in 1992 and was renamed the 'Newsam Library' after Peter Newsam, the Director who oversaw the new construction.[23]
In 2004, the Institute of Education and Birkbeck, University of London, jointly founded London Knowledge Lab, an interdisciplinary research unit concerned with learning and technology. It is located in Emerald Street, Holborn.[24]
The Institute's Newsam Library is the largest in its field in Europe, containing more than 300,000 volumes and nearly 2,000 periodicals.[25]
Main collections[edit]
- Educational collection of publications covering every aspect of education in the United Kingdom.
- International collection covering aspects of the organisation of education outside the UK
- Reference collection including reference works, indexes, legal guidance, statistics of education in the UK and recent official government publications.
- Other subjects collection containing publications on educational related subjects including psychology, sociology, linguistics etc.
- Large selection of teaching materials for all subjects and stages of the curriculum with children's fiction and picture books.[26]
Basic Skills Agency Resource Centre[edit]
The Basic Skills Agency Resource Centre, which was established in 1993 by the Basic Skills Agency, contains teaching materials for adult education and is available for anyone interested in basic skills. In 2005 the Basic Skills Agency passed responsibility the funding for the collection onto the Institute and the collection now sits within the Newsam library's teaching resources collection.[27]
Special collections[edit]
There are over 20 special collections of publications held by the Newsam Library. Some of the collections relate to a specific subject area or have been collection by a single source. The collection contains a comprehensive range of documents on education in the UK, the National Textbook Collection, and other unique resources.[28]
The Institute has been amassing archive collections since the 1940s, and now holds over 100 deposited collections as well as the records of the Institute itself. The deposited collections contain the personal of educationalist and other notable people involved with education and the records of educational organisations such as trade unions, and education projects.[29] The Archives are open to both internal and external researchers by appointment only.[30]
Centre for Longitudinal Studies[edit]
The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) is an ESRC Resource Centre based at the IoE. CLS houses three of Britain's internationally renowned birth cohort studies:
National Child Development Study (NCDS)[31]
1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70)[32]
Millennium Cohort Study (MCS): 2000 birth cohort
The studies were key sources of evidence for a number of UK Government inquiries such as the Plowden Committee on Primary Education (1967), the Warnock Committee on Children with Special Educational Needs (1978), the Finer Committee on One Parent Families (1966–74), the Acheson Independent Inquiry into Inequalities in Health (1998) and the Moser Committee on Adult Basic Skills (1997–99). A study of working mothers and early child development was influential in making the argument for increased maternity leave. Another study on the impact of assets, such as savings and investments on future life chances, played a major part in the development of assets-based welfare policy, including the much-debated 'Baby Bond'.
Heather Joshi was director of the Centre for Longitudinal Studies between 2003 and 2010.[33] She was succeeded by Jane Elliott, who served as director from 2010 to 2014.[34]

Smiles for 'Calendar' become contagious By Moira Macdonald
But this isn't the story "Calendar Girls" is telling; rather, the film is about what happened after John's death, and it's inspired by a true story familiar to many. When John Baker died of leukemia in 1998, his widow, Angela, and her friends at the Rylstone and District Women's Institute an organization through which middle-age Yorkshire women gathered to exchange recipes, hear enlightening lectures and sing "Jerusalem" set out to raise some money for the local hospital that treated him. They hit on the idea of posing (discreetly) nude for their annual fund-raising calendar which usually featured bucolic scenes of the countryside. Originally released in 1999, the calendar was a smashing success, ultimately raising more than $1 million for leukemia charities and making the women international celebrities.
It's a heartwarmer of a story, and one that didn't need much embellishment and, indeed, the first two-thirds of Cole's film, written by Juliette Towhidi and Tim Firth, is simple and charming; a female "Full Monty" with a tear-jerking twist. Walters and Alderton, in particular, create a touching portrait of a loving longtime marriage; a scene in which Annie sits in the threadbare hospital waiting room, her friend Chris (Helen Mirren) by her side, is quietly devastating. And the gung-ho cheerfulness of the women as they embark on their project is infectious. Annie and Chris conscript a group of their Women's Institute colleagues proper ladies in cardigans and pearls for the calendar, despite some trepidation about the process. "We're not going to parade ourselves in a roomful of men," says one, resolutely. "This isn't France." And the portraits, like those in the original calendar, are saucy celebrations of grown-up women, comfortable in the stories that their lived-in bodies tell. Unfortunately, sweet as this story is, it isn't quite enough to hang a movie on and so we come to the last third of the film, in which the ladies become celebrities, go to Hollywood, start wearing smart black trouser suits and talking on cellphones, and have problems with their husbands. This part, full of manufactured drama that's all-too-quickly resolved, feels like padding, like a screenwriter's last-minute realization that the story needs more oomph. But it has the opposite effect, draining the effervescence out of the movie. "Calendar Girls" is calendar-photo pretty, full of lovely scenes of the Yorkshire countryside. It's a gentle little movie that lets a group of older British actresses shine, even when the screenplay fails them. When the final title cards appear on screen, telling us how much money the real-life women made with their calendar, it's exhilarating the story's so appealing you want to forgive the movie its flaws, and just smile.

A Home with Fearless Color
At home in Miami, prolific designer Doug Meyer gives in to his passions for the reclaimed, quirky, singular and highly chromatic.
By Beth Dunlop
If Doug Meyer had an aura, it would certainly not be neutral. He would be surrounded by the blues, greens and turquoises he so favors, and the colors would shimmer in an ever-moving energy field. The Miami-based designer of rugs, outdoor furniture, fabric, tile and interiorswho is also a sculptor, a painter and an installation artist (whew!)does not often come to a full rest, even at home. I love to have things to look at, he says. I need to be continually stimulated.
Meyer is the younger sibling in the two-brother partnership of Doug and Gene Meyer. Both separately and together they are a force. It should, however, be said that the energy they exude is not frenetic but an abundance of exuberant, overflowing creativity present in both practically since birth.

REI Flash 18 Pack
I got my first one of these when they first came out and would still be using it if it hadn't been stolen out of my car. I use this constantly in and out of town. A full hydration bladder makes a great back panel to cushion your back from pokey things like crampons (inside a crampon bag of course) or stove and teapot. I would load this with gear for early morning/breakfast hikes. Survival kit, stove and teapot, extra layer for taking extended break to eat, and Z-rest pad sits it on. I used stretchy… Full review
Mile High Mountaineering Salute 34
This daypack has many features that give you the versatility to store your gear in many configurations for your next adventure. If this is your first pack I would think hard about buying it. I feel this pack is not for everyone. I like to bushwhack and follow animal trails, which sometimes have limited space areas. This pack has very strong material, but at the cost of weight, but I don't have the fear of knocking shoulder strap off. This pack gives me the ability to care want is needed on my… Full review
Millet Radikal 32
Great little climbing pack. Enough room to spend a night out rough and to bring all your toys with. Stable enough for climbing and biking while fully loaded. The first pic is of the ice axe system, particularly the straps and cover for the pick.Pic 2 is the helmet carrier strap. It unfolds from its own pocket on the top lid. For these pics I loaded the pack with what I would normally take out for a winter day in the mountains. A 40 degree synthetic bag, a space blanket/tarp, crampons, a small stove… Full review
Kelty Men's Impact 30
Great pack for long day hikes. I use this pack for all day hikes. I also use it for all my winter hiking/snowshoeing trips. The panel loading is great for stuffing bulky items like winter layers and such. The suspension really transfers the load to your hips and keeps your back cool. The waist belt pockets are large enough for a small camera (or cell phone) and energy bars. The map pocket is nice too. The sleeping bag compartment is way too small for my summer bag but I use it for my emergency kit,… Full review
Lowe Alpine Contour IV
Have used on numerous treks in all seasons. Multiple adjustment strap system, built-in yoke strap, and padded waist belt were the convincing points for purchase in early 1990s for a tall, narrow waist male. Bought the Alpine IV in early 1990s, has been used in multiple treks, trips on weekends and summer. Holds as much as you want it to, sometimes too much. Chose this pack for its stability factor and ability to adjust various straps (belt, should) to ventilate or adjust CG while descending or ascending… Full review
Osprey Poco
This product is well made with great supporting accessories. There are too many child carriers that are made for a stroll in the parking lot to the trailhead and back to the vehicle. Once parents or grandparents leave that parking lot it is critical that the equipment used provide the additional safety and protection needed in the outdoors. Of course it is also critical that the unit be comfortable for both the youngster being carried and the adult doing the carrying. Previous to having children… Full review
Deuter Futura 24 SL
Cómodo para caminar en trayectos donde la temperatura es muy alta. [Comfortable for walking on paths where the temperature is very high.] I also have the Future 20. As option for bigger trips more days I bought this backpack to make an excursion three holidays in my beloved country Colombia. After use of the backpack I can say the following: 1. Like its companion (Future 20 liters) is very comfortable to walk and allows for ventilation, which is observed in the trips made with higher climes to… Full review
REI Morning Star 75
It holds a lot and the top cap can be used as a basic summit bag. Little heavy, but has zippered body divider that I used to stash my shoes or dirty clothes in the bottom. Used it for a weeklong trip with my girlfriend in the Blue Ridge Mountain parks and it held all of the stuff we needed and then some. Long enough for tent poles and felt fine most of the time hiking. Was a little bigger than needed, but if you're going for a short trek and want to have some comfort gear then this pack will hold… Full review
Lowe Alpine Contour IV
Durable, stable, comfortable, durable, easily adjustable (older version, not the new one). Bought the old one barely used maybe 20 years ago. Used to go to the Alps every year. Never had a single thing break on it but the waterproofing died years ago. Looked at all the new ones last year, probably some that were better, ended up getting another Contour IV (much newer model) barely used for $45 this fall. Added a homemade double loop thumbstrap to the sternum strap so I'd have a place to hook my… Full review

How to Choose a Backpack
Like most outdoor gear, choosing the right backpack depends on how you plan to use it and selecting one that fits you, your needs, your budget, and your gear.
Capacity (or How Big?)
Consider the following questions to help determine capacity, or how big of a pack you really need.
- How long are you heading out for: a day, an overnight, a week?
- What's your outdoor style? Are you a minimalist, or deeply attached to creature comforts, or somewhere in between?
- How much and what gear will you bring for specific trips and activities? Don't forget group gear and seasonal items (for example: winter gear will take up more room).
Pack Sizes
Obviously you need a backpack that fits all your gear. If possible, lay it all out, including food and water, and be honest about what you'll need to fit in your pack.
Backpack sizing varies between individuals and manufacturers, but the following ranges are a basic starting point:
- Day Pack:
less than 2,000 cubic inches
up to 30 liters - Overnight:
2,000 - 2,999 cubic inches
30-50 liters - Weekend and Multi-Day:
3,000 - 4,499 cubic inches
50-73 liters
- Week-Long and Expedition:
4,500+ cubic inches
74 liters and up
Pack Tip: Don't buy a backpack bigger than you need. You'll be tempted to fill it and carry more than necessary, or you'll end up with an annoying floppy, half-filled pack.
Fit (Is It Comfy?)
Nothing beats the expertise of a knowledgeable pack fitter. Find one at your local outdoor retailer. In the meantime, here are some additional tips to help you choose a backpack that fits you well.
Torso Length
Size a backpack to your torso length. Don't assume you need the tall (or the regular or the short) model based on your height. The sizes of different manufacturers' frames may correspond to different torso lengths. Check each pack's technical specifications.
To find your torso length, have someone measure from the iliac crest at the top of your hipbone to the prominent bone at the base of your neck (the seventh cervical vertebrae). (See how to properly fit a backpack in this instructional video.)
Pack Gender
Many pack manufacturers produce women-specific or short torso versions. Women, kids, and others with short torsos can consider backpacks sized for them. On average, these fit the average woman better.
Pack Tip: Don't get stuck on a pack's gender though. Buy the one that fits you best.
Straps and Padding
Shoulder straps, which control the fit of the suspension system, should be well padded and adjustable.
An adjustable sternum strap, which connects the shoulder straps, helps bring the load weight forward and off your shoulders.
Since it supports your pack's weight, make sure the hipbelt provides adequate padding. Some pack makers offer interchangeable hipbelts in different styles and in sizes for both men and women for a better individual fit.
Fitting your gear in the pack is one thing. Making sure it rides comfortably is another. What's the typical weight of your gear? Check that it matches the manufacturer's recommendation, particularly if you're opting for an ultralight pack.
During a fitting, load the pack with weight to see how well it carries. Walk around with the loaded pack, practice taking it on and off, move around, and climb up and down stairs and slopes.
How well is the pack's load distributed? Does it remain comfortable over its carrying capacity and intended uses? Does it feel stable?
Features & Organization
Consider the pack's organization. Is equipment stowed securely? Is it easy to access? Intuitive?
If you'll be carrying any specialty gear, such as ice axes, snowshoes, skis, or a snowboard, look for a pack with features or accessories designed to hold those items, rather than trying to jury-rig them on later.
Depending on your different activities you may need more than one backpack, perhaps a large internal frame pack for multi-day backpacking trips and a small daypack for day hikes.
Find the best pack for you and your activities and you'll be ready to hit the trail.

Barack Obama is a brazen criminal. He is so protected by the mainstream media, that he can joke about being an illegal president and everyone in the room, including the press laughs about it. I am so disgusted with the media, with this man and with the clear brazen criminal activity, I am speechless. What do you say about a country where the leaders flout the rule of law with impunity? We are no longer a country governed by law but a country of ruling elites who do, say, and act in anyway they please.
Go ahead there mr president, go on and make a joke out of your illegal BC, get all the laughs that you can mr presidnet, because your last is about to come, and America will not rest until you are behind bars and the keys to that prison door lost forever once you are tucked away in one of those ceils.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord. | 1 "Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the LORD. |
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. | 2 Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the LORD. |
3 And I will gather together the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands into which I have cast them out: and I will make them return to their own fields, and they shall increase and be multiplied. | 3 "I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. |
4 And I will set up pastors over them, and they shall feed them: they shall fear no more, and they shall not be dismayed: and none shall be wanting of their number, saith the Lord | 4 I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD |
5 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise: and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. | 5 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. |
6 In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: The Lord our just one. | 6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. |
7 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and they shall say no more: The Lord liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt: | 7 "So then, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when people will no longer say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' |
8 But, The Lord liveth, who hath brought out, and brought hither the seed of the house of Israel from the land of the north, and out of all the lands, to which I had cast them forth: and they shall dwell in their own land. | 8 but they will say, 'As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' Then they will live in their own land." |
9 To the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble: I am become as a drunken man, and as a man full of wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his holy words. | 9 Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I am like a drunken man, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD and his holy words. |
10 Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike. | 10 The land is full of adulterers; because of the curse the land lies parched and the pastures in the desert are withered. The [ prophets] follow an evil course and use their power unjustly. |
11 For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord. | 11 "Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the LORD. |
12 Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord. | 12 "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the LORD. |
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal and deceived my people Israel. | 13 "Among the prophets of Samaria I saw this repulsive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. |
14 And I have seen the likeness of adulterers, and the way of lying in the prophets of Jerusalem: and they strengthened the hands of the wicked, that no man should return from his evil doings, they are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha | 14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness. They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah." |
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption is gone forth into all the land. | 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty says concerning the prophets: "I will make them eat bitter food and drink poisoned water, because from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land." |
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. | 16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. |
17 They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come upon you. | 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' |
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it? | 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? |
19 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord's indignation shall come forth, and a tempest shall break out and come upon the head of the wicked | 19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked |
20 The wrath of the Lord shall not return till he execute it, and till he accomplish the thought of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand his counsel. | 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. |
21 I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied | 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied |
22 If they had stood in my counsel, and had made my words known to my people, I should have turned them from their evil way, and from their wicked doings. | 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. |
23 Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? | 23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the LORD, "and not a God far away? |
24 Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? | 24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD. |
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed. | 25 "I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, 'I had a dream! I had a dream!' |
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart? | 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds? |
27 Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal. | 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget my name, just as their fathers forgot my name through Baal worship. |
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord? | 28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?" declares the LORD. |
29 Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? | 29 "Is not my word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? |
30 Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbour. | 30 "Therefore," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. |
31 Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it. | 31 Yes," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' |
32 Behold I am against the prophets that have lying dreams, saith the Lord: and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lying, and by their wonders: when I sent them not, nor commanded them, who have not profited this people at all, saith the Lord. | 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the LORD. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the LORD. |
33 If therefore this people, or the prophet, or the priest shall ask thee, saying: What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt say to them: You are the burden: for I will cast you away, saith the Lord. | 33 "When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, 'What is the oracle of the LORD?' say to them, 'What oracle? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.' |
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people that shall say: The burden of the Lord: I will visit upon that man, and upon his house. | 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' I will punish that man and his household. |
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken? | 35 This is what each of you keeps on saying to his friend or relative: 'What is the LORD's answer?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' |
36 And the burden of the Lord shall be mentioned no more, for every man's word shall be his burden: for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God | 36 But you must not mention 'the oracle of the LORD' again, because every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God, the LORD Almighty, our God |
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken? | 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: 'What is the LORD's answer to you?' or 'What has the LORD spoken?' |
38 But if you shall say: The burden of the Lord: therefore thus saith the Lord: Because you have said this word: The burden of the Lord: and I have sent to you, saying: Say not, The burden of the Lord | 38 Although you claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' this is what the LORD says: You used the words, 'This is the oracle of the LORD,' even though I told you that you must not claim, 'This is the oracle of the LORD. |
39 Therefore behold I will take you away carrying you, and will forsake you, and the city which I gave to you, and to your fathers, out of my presence. | 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your fathers. |
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall never be forgotten. | 40 I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace--everlasting shame that will not be forgotten." |

Quiet Music
Use soft guitar or other instrumental music to open sessions and as background during craft activities. Find recordings of specific Unitarian Universalist interest at the online UUA Bookstore or on the website of UniUniques, a private source of Unitarian Universalist materials. Avoid loud, bouncy music that may energize youth instead of helping them settle. Some CDs with quiet tracks include:
Scott August, New Fire (Cedar Mesa Music, 2005)
Baraka (Milan Records, 2005), a reissued movie soundtrack of international religious music
Cesar Berlanga, Music for Relaxation (The Relaxation Company, 2002), quiet guitar music
Empire Brass, King's Court and Celtic Fair (Telarc, 1996)
Paul Winter, Greatest Hits (Living Music, 1998).
Bells, Chimes and Sound-makers
Openings and a few other activities suggest tingsha chimes. You can purchase tingshas and other bells, chimes and soothing sound-makers online from The Light and Harmony Shop, Zanzibar Trading, Bells Online and many other websites.
Tapestry of Faith Resources
Tapestry of Faith offers two multi-chapter resources online to help you use the arts effectively in children's religious education. Spirituality and the Arts in Children's Programming is by Dr. Nita Penfold, creator of the Spirit Play program. Making Music Live, by Nick Page, provides guidance for incorporating music into religious education, including how to teach songs even if you are not a musician.
Nurturing Children and Youth: A Developmental Guidebook by Tracey L. Hurd, Ph.D. (Boston: Unitarian Universalist Association, 2005), a Tapestry of Faith Toolkit book, may help you shape your expectations and plans for this age group.

Die Karpaten
Komm mit mir zurück ins 18 Jahrhundert mit der Dovbush Gruppe und kämpfe für die Freiheit des geliebten Mutterlands, Hutzulshchyna. Abseits von seiner bedeutenden Geschichte sind die Karpaten unglaublich schön und eine interessante Gegend zum Wandern und Fotografieren. -
★ City of Chernivtsi
(Please note, this article is in another language)Today the spirit of ancient Chernivtsi, a forgotten European city or "small Vienna" as it is called , is being revived. Chernivtsi is quite a find. The city is situated in the south western part of Ukraine along both banks of the river Prut. -
Carpathian Mountains
(Please note, this article is in another language)Let me take you back to the eighteenth century with the Dovbush group and the fight for freedom of the beloved motherland, Hutzulshchyna. Aside from its rich history, the Carpathian Mountains is also a great beauty and an interesting site to go hiking and take photos. -
Prut River
(Please note, this article is in another language)Remember my last location, the Carpathian Mountains? Well this time around, I asked the old woman to tell me the story of a boy named Prut, whose heartbreaking tale made him quite known in this region prompting the locals to name this river after him. -
Olha Kobylianska Street
(Please note, this article is in another language)Olha Kobylianska Street is not just a popular place for people who enjoy leisurely walks. While one can truly enjoy a pleasant stroll in this area, there are all sorts of interesting activities that can be enjoyed here too such as dining out, shopping, and immersing in the local culture. -
The Cheremosh River
(Please note, this article is in another language)It´s hard to find another river on the territory of the former USSR that would be so popular and well-loved among tourists in spite of also being quite small. The Cheremosh River is a natural wonder that also makes for an interesting subject for taking pictures on a sunny day. -
Río Prut
(Please note, this article is in another language)Recordáis mi última localización, las montañas de los Cárpatos? Bueno en esta ocasión, le pregunté a la mujer mayor que me contara la historia de un chico llamado Prut, cuyo desgarrador cuento le hizo muy conocido en esta región llevando a los ciudadanos de este lugar a poner su nombre a este río. -
Chernivtsi University
(Please note, this article is in another language)The real gem of the old city of Chernivtsi is a work of the famous Czech architect Josef Hlávka, a former residence of the metropolitan region of Bukovina. Today it is the National University of Chernivtsi. -
O Rio Cheremosh
(Please note, this article is in another language)É difícil encontrar outro rio, no território da ex-URSS, tão popular e bem-amado entre os turistas, apesar de ser muito pequeno. O Rio Cheremosh é uma maravilha natural que também contribui para tirar fotos em um dia ensolarado.


text: With slapstick confusion, magic potions, and Shakespearean references galore, Craig crafts a modern-day Midsummer Night's Dream in the story of a husband and wife vacationing at an Italian villa with their wacky friends and family. But often her efforts to re-create the Bard's tale prove more distracting than enchanting. (Must the Nick Bottom-like Guy have actual tufts of hair on his ears and a ''braying laugh''?) The beginning doesn't show Shakespeare's knack for cutting straight to the drama -- Craig luxuriates too long in idleness before showing the love. The conclusion, however, manages to surprise in a way old Will never dreamed of.

I love this shade it is a soft pretty lavender, that is deep, but not to dark. It dries fast and it is smooth, what more could you ask for?
More reviews by smellslikeleaves
One of the prettiest nail colors in my collection. It's a beautiful light lavender color with silvery shimmer. It applies evenly and lasts a few days before chipping with the help of a topcoat. I always get compliments when I sport this one.
More reviews by Sweetest_Taboo
I have stolen this from my sister, lol. This is the only color nail polish that I will currently use...the consistency is great b/c it doesn't goop up or clump when applying, and it dries with a nice sheen. The color is beautiful as well, b/c it's not too purple...it's just right. Definite thumbs up.
this is the ONLY CG product I own (and KEEP repurchasing), because I'm more of a MAC/Stila/Bourjois girl. this polish is a BEAUTIFUL true lavender (that doesn't appear too pink or blue, as most lavenders seem to), with subtle silver microglitter, that give it a pearly shine. The formula is great, smooth, and lasts well (though I use my Poshe topcoat over it, since I'm rough on my nails). I use this on my fingers and toes, and it's just beautiful, especially for spring!
More reviews by brian_dumbledore
A BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG thumbs up on this product! Cover Girl powder, foundation and mascara have DEEPLLY disappointed me in the past. But their nail polish is superb. It glides on with three strokes, sets quickly (but not too quickly; allows good time to make adjustments without streaking). One-to-two coats, with built in top-coat that can resist chipping for at least 4 days (one time, it lasted a week!) ONLY THREE DOLLARS, the BEST nail polish i've ever used (and that includes LANCOME and REVLON and MAYBELLINE and L'OREAL) There is nothing better.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Daisy!
Facts about Daisy
- Breed: Border Collie/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Daisy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Daisy is a beautiful (both in body and soul) girl of around five months old, and around thirty pounds. She has just a touch of growing left to do and is right on target for being the size of her main breed, the Border Collie. We believe she is of the "McNab" branch of the Border Collie due to her short hair.
The mix in her? She is so Border Collie in personality that it is hard to know if she even is a mix. If she has something else in her it is something wonderful. Daisy's personality is gentle and calm and very affectionate. She does know how to play when it is the appropriate time, and snuggle when it is snuggle time. She loves being with her people but also loves hanging out with the other dogs at her foster home. If a cat came along, she would probably give chase simply for the fun of it, but not to injure it.
Daisy is great on leash and is housetrained. The only thing she needs now is a family to call her very own.
If you are interested in meeting Daisy, please email us at email@example.com to request an application.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Daisy, a Oakley Border Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever for sale in Oakley, or seeking a Border Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Oakley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oakley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Oakley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Border Collie/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oakley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Prometheus RisingImagine trying to make sense of Timothy Leary's eight neurological circuits, G.I. Gurdjieff's self-observations exercises, Alfred Korzybski's general semantics, Aleister Crowley's magical theorems, and the several disciplines of Yoga; not to mention Christian Science, relativity, quantum mechanics and many other approaches to understanding the world around us. That is exactly what Wilson does in "Prometheus Rising". In short, it is a book about how the human mind works and what you can do to make the most of yours. Readers have been known to get angry, cry, laugh, and even change their entire lives. Practical techniques to break free of your "reality tunnels". |

Sorie...go to the bottom of the page to the search bar and put in plate glass flower and you'll get lots of posts showing lots of different ways to make plate flower backs. Most people just flatten the spoon, bend it over and use silicone to glue it to the plate. |

It's the season of giving, and Gilbert leaders gave thanks earlier this month for the efforts of someone who — you guessed it — has given plenty to her community.
Dr. Eva DeCozio-Bush, DVM, of Panacea Animal Wellness Sanctuary (PAWS) was honored at the Dec. 6 Gilbert Town Council meeting with the town's 2012 "Spirit of Giving" award. DeCozio Bush was also honored at the 12k's of Christmas Dec. 15, with the award sponsored by Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
According to a press release, the Spirit of Giving "recognizes volunteers in the community who give their time and resources to help animals. Dr. DeCozio-Bush is the epitome of the 'Spirit of Giving' when it comes to our four-legged friends. Her passion for animals has become her life's work and the two are inseparably intertwined." For more information on PAWS, visit www.pawsaz.org.
"In February 2012, Dr. DeCozio-Bush and the PAWS organization spearheaded the very successful "Valen'Tails: Adopt a Pound Dog Weekend" event held in Tempe with the goal of having a no-kill weekend. Dr. DeCozio-Bush orchestrated free of charge spay and neuters for almost all of the dogs rescued from the various pounds throughout the valley. Over two days, over 150 dogs were adopted," the press release added.
"Not only does Dr. DeCozio-Bush fight for animal's lives on the operating table, she also fights for their lives in court, testifying as an expert witness and providing forensic evidence in animal abuse cases.
"Over the years, Dr. DeCozio-Bush has personally provided a forever home for over 50 cats and dogs. She currently has 14 dogs, 8 cats and 4 horses - all rescues. Dr. DeCozio-Bush donates thousands of dollars for food for the animals and has donated tens of thousands of dollars in medical care."

Maybelline Color Show Sequins is a limited edition collection just in time for the holidays and the jewel tone trend. Ruby Rhinestones is one of eight shades offered in the collection, and here's my swatch… on a nail wheel, but a good swatch nevertheless.
Here's a close bottle shot of Ruby Rhinestones. It's a sheer red base with various sizes of red glitter particles; some very small and some very large. There are even a few blasts of black glitter in the bottle, but it mixes so well with the red, it's not all that noticeable. It all combines for a pretty decent glittery lacquer with a super shiny finish.
I was working, which ended up being very short lived, but while I was there I broke a nail or two or three or maybe even four. I didn't put on any false nails and seriously, my natural nails are beyond pathetic so on a nail wheel she went!
What you see above is two coats. For this lacquer, a little goes a long way; if you use heavy coats, you are gonna end up with sloppy application, and it's gonna take forever to dry. Two thin coats will do the trick, especially if you are just using it for a top coat.
Maybelline Color Show Sequins retails for a very affordable $3.99. Try all eight glam-tacular sequin-laden shades: Ruby Rhinestones, Lavender Sparks, Silver Gleam, Gold's Night Out, Sea-Quins, Rose Bling, Sapphire Masquerade and Cocktail Dress. You can find these at most drug stores and mass merchant retailers. Be sure to follow Maybelline on Facebook!

Ventura declines 1-year extension
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com February 13, 2013 11:05PM
Sun-Times sportswriter Daryl Van Schouwen. January 27, 2012 | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times
Updated: March 15, 2013 1:39PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — For someone who says he loves his job, White Sox manager Robin Ventura has a curious way of showing it.
Signed through two more years, Ventura was offered an extra year on his contract but said no thanks to general manager Rick Hahn.
"It was flattering and nice and everything, but in talking to Rick, we have two more years to do this,'' Ventura said Wednesday after the extension offer became public. "This is my contract, and I was the same way as a player. I'll worry about it at the end of it. In two years, I want them to think I'm the right guy for the job.''
Ventura downplayed the whole thing after the second day of spring training for pitchers and catchers.
''It wasn't anything that was a big deal,'' he said. ''I'm not holding out for anything or disappointed or not wanting to stay here. Again, at the end of that is when you talk about it. I'm not worried about trying to extend anything right now. I'm worried more about this team in spring training now than 2015.''
Skeptics might say Ventura has had a year to see what the Sox' farm system is like and doesn't see a promising future for the franchise. Or that, financially, he can raise his price if the Sox have a big year or two. Don't forget, Ventura and his family have deep roots in Southern California, and you never know if the Los Angeles Dodgers will need a manager in a couple of years.
Ventura is not Jim Riggleman trying to force management's hand. He made about $67 million during his playing days, so he's not desperate to have this job.
"To Robin's credit, he wants to make sure he's the right guy for the job,'' Hahn said.
"It's a testament to how special he is with his approach to this position and the job at hand.''
In a surprising move after Ozzie Guillen left, an inexperienced Ventura was signed to a three-year deal to replace Guillen, bringing a desired sense of calm to the clubhouse and front office.
"He got the best out of all of us, and you saw it with the rebound years some guys had with their comfort level with Robin and his staff,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. "I'm sure he'll grow as far as game moves and stuff like that. He probably went through some stuff he may re-evaluate and do something different there, but as far as running the clubhouse and relationships with his guys, I can't see how he can be better.''
Hahn said the perception that Ventura took the job with designs on doing it for the short term is unfounded.
"If that's the vibe people are taking, that's inaccurate,'' Hahn said. ''My hope is that Robin is here for a long, long time.
"You can't foresee the future, but I suspect when the time comes that there is a new manager, it's that Robin decided personally he's not wanting to continue or he's not the right guy or the best guy to lead the White Sox at that time. My hope is that's far into the future.''
There's no doubt that Ventura likes what he's doing, and he knows he's pretty good at it after a successful first year. He expects to be better at it this year. Asked if he envisioned himself managing a long time, he said, "Yeah, I don't know about lifer.''
''You can see doing it longer,'' he told Comcast SportsNet on Tuesday. ''I think there's also a point where it needs to be somebody else. I think you can either burn out or people stop listening to you, or that effect goes away. When that happens, then it's time for somebody else to do it."
NOTES: Jesse Crain will report to Team Canada for the World Baseball Classic on March 3. Alex Rios, who will play for Puerto Rico, reported early to Sox camp Wednesday.
† It cost Tyler Flowers two TV sets to get pitching coach Don Cooper's No. 21 jersey. Cooper will wear 99 to honor the late Kevin Hickey.

Rhode Island Superior Court Judge Netti Vogel doesn't take flack from anyone on the bench. But she does get it at home from her 26-year-old pet parrot, Ollie. Life with a parrot is never dull, Vogel said. "He's a funny guy," she said of the Yellow-naped Amazon. "He has an outgoing personality and he's extremely feisty." Ollie responds, rather than mimics. When the phone rings, he always says hello. He barks at Vogel's dog. He sings "Olliepop" to the tune of the '50s song "Lollipop." He mock-hiccups, and talks back to Alex Trebek when "Jeopardy" is on. To counteract high cholesterol, Ollie eats a diet high in fruits and vegetables. "I don't cook for anyone else," Vogel said.
