American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake, saying, I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. | 1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: "I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. |
2 Jehovah is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation: This is my God, and I will praise him; My father's God, and I will exalt him. | 2 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. |
3 Jehovah is a man of war: Jehovah is his name. | 3 The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name. |
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea; And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea. | 4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea. |
5 The deeps cover them: They went down into the depths like a stone. | 5 The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. |
6 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power, Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces the enemy. | 6 "Your right hand, O LORD, was majestic in power. Your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy. |
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee: Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble. | 7 In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. |
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up, The floods stood upright as a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea. | 8 By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood firm like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. |
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. | 9 "The enemy boasted, 'I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.' |
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: They sank as lead in the mighty waters. | 10 But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters. |
11 Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? | 11 "Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you--majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? |
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, The earth swallowed them. | 12 You stretched out your right hand and the earth swallowed them. |
13 Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation. | 13 "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. |
14 The peoples have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. | 14 The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia. |
15 Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them: All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. | 15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away; |
16 Terror and dread falleth upon them; By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone; Till thy people pass over, O Jehovah, Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased. | 16 terror and dread will fall upon them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone-- until your people pass by, O LORD, until the people you bought pass by. |
17 Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. | 17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance-- the place, O LORD, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, your hands established. |
18 Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever. | 18 The LORD will reign for ever and ever." |
19 For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea. | 19 When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the LORD brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. |
20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. | 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing. |
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously; The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. | 21 Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea." |
22 And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. | 22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. |
23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. | 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) |
24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? | 24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?" |
25 An he cried unto Jehovah; And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them; | 25 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. |
26 and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee. | 26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you." |
27 And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters. | 27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water. |

Well I have already ordered three sight gauges with bulkheads from BobbyM but in perusing the forums yesterday I read where someone said a sight gauge on the MT was unnecessary and that it would be prone to clogging anyways??? Is this true? My MT is a converted sankey keg and it will have a Jaybird false bottom.
How high is your FB up? You could install the SG below it, no?
I have a sight glass on my MT and love it. Its never clogged up, but it does get some grain particles in it. The biggest advantage for me is when I'm fly sparging I just place a small piece of tape on the sight glass to mark the high water mark. Then its just a matter of adjusting the ball valves to get them even. No more taking the top off to check water levels and letting out heat.
heres a pic.
Comes is handy if you fly sparge. Love mine. Never clogs.
I have a jaybird 12" fb on the way. It will go in Sankey keg. I am not sure if the sight guage could be installed below the FB. You guys that are using sight gauges on your MT are they installed below the FB in your MT?
Mine is about 1/2" above the FB, never had an issue, even with wheats

SCIP Monthly Update February 2011 February 10, 2011 State of Maine Communcations Interoperability Plan SCIP) National Emergency Communications Plan Goal 2The Department of Homeland Security's Office of emergency communications OEC)developed the National emergency communications Plan (NECP)to establish goals and priorities for improving emergency communications across the United States. The NECP's three goals establish a baseline level of interoperable emergency communications during routine, day-to-day incidents, and for responses to significant, large-scale disasters. NECP Goal 2 focuses on the demonstration of response-level emergency communications by all counties or county-equivalents during routine incidents or events. Importance of Goal 2 Demonstration OEC is working with States to measure NECP Goals through an assessment process that is designed to improve the understanding of emergency communications and focus improvement activities, such as:
Goal 2 Data Collection and Reporting Every county or county-equivalent will report on two types of information related to response level emergency communications: capabilities and performance. Capability data is based on the foundational elemments described in the SAFECOM Interoperability Continuum. Performance information collection focuses on the ability of primary operational leadership to communicate, manage resources, and make timely decisions during an incident, exercise, or planned event. OEC is working with the Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWIC)to support the Goal 2 data collection process. SWICs will provide State and local personnel with information on reporting requirements, including the avialability of a web-based tool developed by OEC to make data entry and reporting easy. MEMA will provide training and more information in the coming months. The Response-Level Communications tool is a useful device for evaluating events and incidents to support Goal 2 data collection and any future evaluation efforts. MEMA releases DVD in regards to NarrowbandingIn September MEMA released a DVD "Narrowbanding Will You Be Ready" that explains the Narrowbanding dilemma facing all of us. If you would like a copy of this DVD please contact Steven Mallory at (207)624-4476. ARE YOU READY? PLAN NOW FOR NARROWBANDING
How to Modify you FCC License for NarrowbandThe Narrowband tool was created to assist local agencies in modifying their FCC licenses for narrowband. the information shared during this overview is outlined below:
To utilize this tool go to the MEMA's website and then Narrowbanding section or follow the link below: http://www.maine.gov/tools/whatsnew/attach.php?id=191312&an=1 Cross Border WorkshopIn January the Maine emergency Management Agency (MEMA) held Cross Border workshops in Caribou and Calais to help identify technical and procedural issues and tasked to find recommendations to correct them. this is an item in the Maine State Interoperability Plan (SCIP) as well as the National Emergency communication Plan (NECP). we need to bring our partners together to identify all the cross border technical and precedural issues and recommendations to correct. This initiative is not related to any other programs. With the working group recommendations, MEMA continues to create a flip book that will identify these aforementioned items. This book, called the Border Interoperability Guide (BIG) is a guide that will enable public safety entities from Maine and Canada to quickly reference operating channels in their respective areas as well as contact numbers, location of radio cache, CONOPS, and other information in the case of an event.. Both Workshops were well received and valuable information was obtained, many thanks to all those that were involved in addressing these important issues. Identified problems were addressed and solutions sought by all those attending with thoughtful insight and experience. difficult solutions led to sometimes basic cooperations and understanding between neighboring communities and they have been doing this for many years without assistance and it works. the direction that the group would like to go is to continue with Cross Border workshops to finalize the MOU's more bi-country trainings, exercises, and limited regulation and/or resistance from Federal entities. They also expressed assistance and guidance from Federal, State as long as it does not hinder their relationships and responsibilities. the last workshop is planned for March in Somerset/Franklin County. If you have questions or comment please contact Steven Mallory at (207) 624-4476. Want To Check Your Narrowband License Status Of Your Town, City, or County?OEC/ICTAP has created a Public Safety Technology Assistance Tool where you can check the status of your Narrowband license or those of your neighbors. Follow the link below, or go to the MEMA Narrowbanding website. http://publicsafetytools.info/startnbstatus.php
A box will pop up that will show you your respective area and the total amount of Transmitters in that area:
You can click on any of the balloons and it will show you the name and the call sign, and if it is Narrowband, Wideband or both. It will also show you the address, point of contact and license status. Some other features of this tool are:

When setting this up we are told to grab "Blood Pact" as an explorer card but it isn't listed in any of the rooms, plus I had the ceremonial skull show up in two different rooms. (using answers 1c and 2a) Going by the placement rules I've placed the Skull in the Nursery but that leave no item in the freezer
So do I seed Blood Pact randomly? Do I use it to replace one of the skulls? Or am I to hold on to it until someone learns the spell? (But this spell could also be learned in Scenario 1 but Scenario 1 did not tell you to take it during the component set up)
As I am going to run this tomorrow I'm going to put the spell in the freezer as a temp work around but hopefully this will get clarified/fixed.

Prepping for Survival
5 Days/ $1000
Prepping for Survival
It is no secret that people are worried about our country and our world collapsing. Although many of our friends and families think we are a little crazy for "Prepping" it is gaining acceptance and approval by society. Natural and manmade disasters, terrorist attacks and financial catastrophes are among the most likely suspects. This class taught by Jacob Herman is the most well rounded and informational class of its kind. Jacob has been prepping since 1992 and went through college taking courses just to become more educated about agriculture and food distribution. He is also the co-host for the upcoming Spike TV show on Prepping.
This will be a lecture oriented class but we will have hands on demos and interactions as time permits. We may travel to offsite locations like farms or greenhouses so have weather appropriate clothing and footwear.
Why are we here?
Survival mindset lecture – the "news" isn't something that just happens to other people.
What first? Water filter, food, guns, shelter?
We may go back in time as far as technology is concerned 100 years or more.
You can only buy so much
Grain mills don't shit bread
You are never "done"
It's not too late to start!
What you should store for your family and how much?
Don't trade out guns and ammo that you may be attacked with.
What books do you need?
Cabin fever
Bug-out or Bug-in?
Offsite storage
How to store food
What food to store
Rotating and Inspection of stored goods
How to choose and store trade goods
Cooking – gas, fire, ?
Animals – milk and meat
Fuel – gas, diesel, lamp oil, motor oil, etc

More than a million baby slings were recalled nationwide, Wednesday, after claims they've been linked to three infant deaths.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says babies can suffocate in the soft fabric slings-- made by the company Infantino-- and parents should stop using them immediately for babies under four months.
The recall applies to the "SlingRider" and "Wendy Bellissimo" models.
"Our top priority is the safety of infants whose parents and caregivers use our products," Infantino President Jack Vresics said in a statement.
The slings wrap around adults' chests, allowing them to carry infants hands free.
Baby experts say not all slings are dangerous and they are a good way to calm fussy babies.
Currently, there are no federal safety rules for baby slings, but Infantino is working with the CPSC to create new guidelines.

I started baking when I was young. My father had a bit of a sweet tooth so he was quite encouraging of my pursuits. It wasn't until after I was married and home with our first baby that I began to pursue more knowledge in "real" food preparation. That was about the time Food Network got its start. (Does anyone else remember "Ready, Set, Cook!"?)
I love to learn about food and techniques, but life doesn't allow for too much these days. I'm a homeschool mom of 6 and cooking, for the most part, is standard fare with only occasional forays into new territory.

I"m working on an email blast to the state of iowa camera clubs, I'd like to include the Council Bluffs group in the contact list. I have the group contact emails for the other 3 groups in Iowa. Do you have a group email address that I could include? My personal email is email@example.com and our group email is email@example.com

Fortunately, so far, I don't need to use 2013 very often. However, when I do, this has become more than annoying...yet I have not seen one other post regarding this so I'm trying to determine why me and not others.
The issue....C3D starts right up into my template drawinga s it should. I open a drawing, ANY drawing, and it loads fine, looks like it's all done loading, except....The cursor will not go into the drawing canvas, or, more correctly, it disappears. I can move the mouse over the Toolspace, ribbon, command window, but I cannot select anything in toolspace or type anything into the command line. What I CAN do is select a command from the ribbon and that will kick C3D back into a usable mode. At which time, anything I had typed into the command line appears.
Again, this happens everytime I start C3D2013, in the first drawing opened after starting. Susbsequent open attempts are all normal.
It is almost like there is an unseen message box waiting for input is in control, yet I've not found anything using any of the normal re-center dilaog techniques. Pressing Enter or Esc does not work. ANd this has only occured since the installation of SP1.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Correction, I can select things in Toolspace, but making changes (such as changing which style a surface uses) does not take affect until C3D is beat into submission.
Jeff, I haven't seen that error, but I did run into a situation where I moved the crosshairs to the top of the drawing window and then they disappeared and came back up the bottom. The only way to get to the ribbon was to move over the toolspace and then up.
Restarting Civil 3D fixed it and I haven't seen it again. A client was sitting with me when this happened and he said he has seen the same behavior.
Maybe Civil 3D 2013 SP1 has mouse issues?
I am using Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. What are you using?
I'm using a Logitech M510 wireless, Tim.
Haven't seen this, but I have another problem. While using the 3DORBIT command, zooming in and out doesn't work anymore, everything just dissappears off the screen. Panning around it seems as if the whole drawing has panned off to one side. This didn't happen prior to installing SP1. I've tried with the hardware acceleration off and on and as I do a lot of earthworks modelling this is so serious to me I'm going to reinstall getiing rid of SP1 when I have a chance.

Background Last year I worked consulted with a company that had an engineer that used tuples in C# and tried to explain to me how they were useful. To be honest, I never quite saw the value proposition (until today). I remember he kept saying they were kind of like key value pairs but could go beyond that. I remember those words but never internalized that. The Example My example is a simple one. I'm currently working on providing data to an external application that will provide business intelligence (help with session selection) to the Silicon Valley Code Camp web site. The data I'm providing is every mark of interest and plan to attend for every session ever given at code camp (that's 220,000 … Continue Reading
Running Visual Studio Web Form Pages By Dragging Them Out of Visual Studio
I just accidentally discovered that you can run a web page from visual studio by simply dragging the page out of the solution explorer and into a browser. Who would have known? I only discovered this because I did that action and thought it would drag the page onto my second monitor so I can edit it. Another tip which I did know is that you can grab the folder tab of a source page in Visual Studio and drag it to your desktop (second monitor for example) and edit it while stilling seeing the original page. … Continue Reading
Tangible T4 Editor 2.0 Makes Creating T4 Templates Manageable
Background Having written way too many code generators in my life, I've always been attracted to Microsoft's T4 generation. For those who don't know what T4 is, it's actually a core technology in Visual Studio (all versions) that has been around for a very long time. It's used for lots of things including for example generating the C# code that is compiled into your projects with Entity Framework. Over the past 5 years, I've tried on several occasions to build my own T4 templates and unfortunately have always given up because the building of T4 templates experience in Visual Studio is just not pleasant. Fast Forward To Tangible's T4 Editor http://t4-editor.tangible-engineering.com/T4-Editor-Visual-T4-Editing.html Because of … Continue Reading
LINQ tricks for performance (LINQ2SQL Old School)
I'm working quite a bit on the new Silicon Valley Code Camp site these days and introducing lots of new ways to view sessions. Much of this code I've written over 8 years ago, long before I had so many tricks in my bag. So, one of the things we track is session interest by attendee. To do that we have two tables, SessionAttendee and Sessions. Doing a simple join and count of the number of SessionAttendee records per session pretty much gives us what we need. Basically, we create a dictionary so we can get all the counts at once so that way, just one sql to the database interestCountsDict = (from data in meta.SessionAttendee where data.Interestlevel == 2 group data by … Continue Reading

I know it's not a gardening groupon, but I thought lots of gardeners have cats. I really liked this groupon offer and thought someone else might. 50% off from a very good pet store that offers organic treats and natural non toxic pet toys. It's usually expensive to buy these, so 1/2 off makes it worthwhile. There are a few offers on the page, look for the photo of a dog with a yellow ball. |

Hey girls! I've always looked for the newest ways for hair removal. I used to always just get professional treatments on my legs, but eventually these became too expensive when my hours at work were cut down. So, I've just been trying to find somethign long terrm that works! My girlfriend is an esthetician so I asked her if she reccommended any products and she mentioned this new thing called silk'n. My friend has it and did a try on me and it wasnt painfull at all . If it does the trick it might be just worth it to get it, as I live in California and I'm always wearing skirts. I considered buying it from silkn.com, but I'm still not sure. Does anyone have stories to share with me? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am assuming this is a spam post, but in case it is not: I would not recommend this product at all. Snipped from the web: Dark hair responds the best to this laser treatment. Shades of brown will also respond to the laser, but typically require more treatments. Because the laser is targeting dark pigment (melanin)- white, gray, or blond hair will not benefit from using the system. Red hair isn't totally ruled out here, but possibly may benefit from hair removal treatments. According the the Silk'n hair removal clinical study of 150 females using the hair removal system these were the average hair reduction results after 6 months "41% in the underarms, 54% on the legs, 43% in the bikini area and 52% on the arms." The suggested retail price is $800. A lamp cartridge that comes with the system has a life of about 750 shots, which is enough for treating your entire body once. The control panel displays warning lights when you are close to or have reached the 750 shot limit. Replacement lamp cartridges retail for $80. So it can burn you, doesn't remove all of the hair, (or any if your hair is light), you still have to shave , and costs a fortune. Not running out to buy one anytime soon. |

We again hear about progress in scores attained on the New England Common Assessment Program ("Schools show gains in math, reading," Feb. 14). Certainly, the Rhode Island Department of Education deserves an award in public relations.
While it might seem encouraging that 11th graders are doing better than the previous year's 11th graders, the methodology used tells us one thing: This year's 11th graders deemed proficient are just that — proficient. To suggest they have made progress is unanswerable from how the data is presented.
Perhaps these students have made progress. But to take scores from one group of high school students in the 11th grade and compare them to last year's 11th graders tells us nothing about progress. I want to know how the second group scored over two years.
That the NECAP is only offered in the 11th grade makes it difficult to generate comparisons of progress year to year. In the past, I wrote how RIDE determined that Central Falls High School was a failing school based on the same methodology (or lack of it). Upon reanalysis, I determined that over three years (8th to 11th grade) students made gains in reading.
That RIDE cannot figure this out is disheartening, since education was once one of the standard bearers for measurement and statistics. To quote Mark Twain, there are three kinds of lies: "lies, damned lies and statistics."

Soon Soon Soon is Fashion Week again. I just love Men Fashion Week... not because Milan is full of guys - NO - but because I have always liked Men clothes (I'm sure you're thinking that I'm lying but thats actually totally true) . I just love men clothes! I probably say that in all my posts about Fashion Week.
Usually Men have all the same style and I think its hard to be creative when designing Men clothes. So I think Men Fashion Week is always very interesting.
This year I'm also going to Paris. I hope to be able to attend some shows there. I have been in Paris thousand of times but never during Fashion Week. I think its gonna be HOT and FULL of tourists (I'm not including me haha)

Is anyone on Coumadin/Warfarin/Jantoven and trying to lose weight? I had open heart surgery in March to replace my Aortic Valve and now have to take Coumadin for life. One of the big issues with this drug is you need to stay away from foods with high to moderate levels of vitamin K. This translates into almost every green vegetable on the planet and a lot of other veggies as well. How are supposed to lose weight without eating green veggies!!!:mad:
Any help would be appreciated....:?:

For 16 minutes, Payton Dastrup did everything he could to keep the Mountain View boys basketball team in striking distance of Desert Mountain.
Once he went cold, the Toros' chances were shot.
The Mountain View star forward had 15 points in the first half but only two on 1-of-11 shooting in the second and the Wolves pulled away for a 59-37 victory in Division I action Tuesday night at Mountain View.
Mark Andrews and Jordan Higgins rotated on Dastrup throughout the night and coach Todd Fazio decided not to double team him in the post. The strategy limited the effectiveness of Mountain View's other players, and once Dastrup started missing, the Wolves cruised.
The Toros (2-2) scored only two points in the third quarter as Desert Mountain pushed an eight-point halftime lead to 15 and were never threatened in the fourth.
"When (Dastrup) gets a head of steam going he's hard to stop even with two guys," Desert Mountain coach Todd Fazio said. "We felt (single coverage) was our best chance to win."
On the offensive side of the ball, Desert Mountain (6-2) hit 10 3-pointers despite the absence of leading scorer Diego Magana, who sat out with a knee contusion. Brant Carter led the way with 14 points — all in the second half — while Remy Smith had 12. They hit four 3-pointers apiece as point guard Rolando Rhymes repeatedly broke down the defense and found open shooters.
"It's a win-win situation," Rhymes said. "Either we get a 3 in the corner or they let me drive."
Desert Mountain jumped out to a 15-2 lead in the first five minutes and had a 32-19 lead with 2:10 left in the second quarter. Mountain View scored the final five points of the half to get the deficit under double digits, but never got any closer than that.
Rhymes had nine ponts while Andrew and Higgins added eight apiece.
No player besides Dastrup had more than five points for the Toros.

Hmong (RPA: Hmoob) or Mong (RPA: Moob), known as Miao in China, is a dialect continuum of the West Hmongic branch of the Miao languages, sometimes known as the Chuanqiandian Cluster, which is spoken by the Hmong people of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, northern Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. There are some 2.7 million speakers of varieties which are largely mutually intelligible, including 200,000 Hmong Americans. Over half of all Hmong speakers speak the various dialects of the Chuanqiandian cluster in China, and the Dananshan dialect of Chuanqiandian forms the basis of the standard language in China, but Hmong Daw (White Miao) and Mong Njua (Green Miao) are more widely known overseas due to emigration. There are also Hmong immigrants that live in Canada, though not as many as there are in the United States.
Mong Njua and Hmong Daw are part of a dialect cluster known in China as Chuanqiandian Miao, that is, "Sichuan–Guizhou–Yunnan Miao", called the "Chuanqiandian cluster" in English, as Western Hmongic is also called Chuanqiandian (they are distinguished as the Chuanqiandian "subdialect" of the Chuanqiandian "dialect" in Chinese). Mong Njua and Hmong Daw are just those varieties of the cluster which migrated to Laos; the Western names Mong Njua, Mong Leng, Hmong Dleu/Der, and Hmong Daw are also used in China for various dialects of the Chuanqiandian cluster.
The three dialects are known as Hmong Daw (also called White Miao or Hmong Der), Mong Njua (also called Blue or Green Miao or Mong Leng), and Dananshan (Standard Chinese Miao). Hmong Daw and Mong Njua are the two major dialects spoken by Hmong Americans. While mutually intelligible, the dialects differ in both lexicon and certain aspects of phonology. For instance, Mong Njua lacks the voiceless of Hmong Daw (as exemplified by their names) and has a third nasalized vowel, /ã/; Danashan has a couple extra diphthongs in native words, numerous Chinese loans, and an eighth tone.
Native speakers: 2.6 million

Taken 3 Review: Forest Whitaker Solves Crimes With Solid Deduction and Hot Bagels
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on January 9, 2015 | Be the First To CommentOnce upon a time, almost a half century ago, in a ramshackle pastry shop outside a small village in rural France, a muscular baby boy was birthed from an even more muscular vagina. His parents, being big fans of cinema, christened him after their seventeenth favorite actor, and no one was surprised when the boy became a young man and the man became a movie director. His passion was for action films — usually ones with a number in the title — and his name was Olivier Megaton. Well, his name still is Oliver Megaton, and when someone with a name like Oliver Megaton makes an action movie it feels like the kind of perfectly inspired pairing that only comes along once in a millennium. Like if someone named Fanny Shytles grew up to make Adam Sandler comedies. How do you turn away from that divine promise? How do you know where to draw the line and say enough is enough? How do you choose not to see an action movie made by a man named Olivier Megaton? Four words (and three numbers). Transporter 3. Colombiana. Taken 2. Taken 3.
Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen Return to the Taking-less 'Taken 3′
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on March 13, 2014 | Be the First To CommentContrary to popular belief, not all mega-successful movies get an automatic sequel. Often, a pitched battle rages over the right to add a +1 on the end of whatever movie just made a gazillion dollars worldwide. Take Taken 3. The addition of that "3" was no cakewalk. At first, Liam Neeson was adamant that the film shouldn't be made, that a single family would suffer three takings to be completely absurd. "It's just bad parenting," Neeson argued. Then, Fox offered him $20M to change his mind. He did. But there was a catch: Neeson's agreement meant Fox had to implement a strict "No Taking" policy for Taken 3. No daughters would be taken. No wives. Not a single Liam Neeson. Which begs the question: what's everyone supposed to do instead?
Review: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ is a Sparkling Example of Too Little Too Late
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on November 16, 2012 | Comments (8)As someone who's somehow resisted the pull of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books but has seen all five films, I feel confident saying the first three movies (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse) exist on a sliding scale of awfulness. They're bland, lacking in anything resembling emotion or humanity, poorly acted, terribly written and insulting to the concepts of free will, family, gender equality, canine care, individuality and love itself. Breaking Dawn Part 1 changed some of that for the better. The themes were still offensive to rational people who prefer a uterus be connected to a functioning and free-spirited brain, but director Bill Condon managed to inject a degree of humor and zaniness to the proceedings that embraced the entertainment value inherent in the story but missing from the earlier films. Basically, he made it fun. And thankfully, he returned to helm part 2. To recap part 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart) the human and Edward (Robert Pattinson) the vampire have married, fornicated and given birth to a baby they felt it necessary to name Renesmee. While still a fetus the little scamp had sucked the life from its mother leading to Bella's death shortly after Edward decided to perform an emergency Cesarean with his teeth. He acts quickly and bites her again, this time in an attempt to save her life by turning her into a bloodsucker, and it works. She opens her inhuman, crimson eyes, and the credits roll. Oh, and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) the werewolf pees on Bella's newborn daughter […]
Review: If Nothing Else, 'Taken 2′ Gets the Number Right
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentPierre Morel's 2009 hit Taken was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise on several levels. It turned the 56-year-old Liam Neeson into a legitimate action star, it re-framed the idea of January being a dumping ground for Hollywood leftovers and best of all, it was damn entertaining in its ridiculous simplicity. Its box office take guaranteed a sequel, but what should have been a sure thing was instead kneecapped by co-writer/franchise-creator Luc Besson's decision to hand the reins to the awesomely named but otherwise utterly incompetent Olivier Megaton. In the sequel, ex-CIA agent and current bodyguard Bryan Mills (Neeson) finally has the relationship with his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) and ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) that he's so desperately craved. An upcoming protection gig in Istanbul seems like the ideal locale for a "family" vacation so the ladies surprise Mills after his assignment for some Turkish R&R. But they're not the only members of the surprise committee.
The Giant Question Raised By the 'Taken 2′ Trailer
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 22, 2012 | Comments (6)Why would this family go on vacation to Eastern Europe? Why? Why do it? After your daughter was kidnapped, forced to wear a glittery bikini and stood minutes away from being sold into a harem, why would you not bed down in the exact center of the United States (Lebanon, Kansas by the way) and resume life as quietly as possible? The new trailer for Taken 2 raises this important question, but it also continues to prove that Liam Neeson is a badass not to be trifled with. The opening sequence is perfect, taking on the perspective of the sex trade mafia as Bryan Mills has become somewhat of a legend that needs to be taken out. And take him out, they shall. Or at least they'll try. Check out the trailer for yourself as you ponder why Maggie Grace is pretending to be 14 years old when her character is at least 20.
Review: Guy Pearce Comes (So) Close to Rescuing Messy, Schlocky 'Lockout'
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on April 11, 2012 | Comments (5)Stop me if you've heard this one before – in a future America, an important member of the First Family gets trapped in an inventive super-max prison the likes of which we've never seen, and the only person who can save them is a sharp-tongued criminal. Sounds pretty familiar, right? Unfortunately, James Mather and Stephen St. Leger's Lockout is no Escape from New York, but dammit if Guy Pearce's performance doesn't hit some gleeful Snake Plissken-inspired high notes in the midst of some serious cinematic mess. Mather and St. Leger's take (which comes from an original idea from co-writer and producer Luc Besson) on the "one man against a mega-prison" moves the action away from not just New York, but Earth itself – setting the majority of Lockout in a super prison in the sky. MS One is the first of its kind, a space prison that uses the unique advantages of its location to isolate its prisoners twofold – not only are they trapped in space, they're also sunk into a deep stasis that should guarantee that escape is not only impossible, but also unthinkable to their conked-out brains. Unfortunately, as we're told repeatedly, "some minds just can't take it," and the philanthropically-minded Emilie Warnock (Maggie Grace) has just arrived on MS One to interview some recently awoken prisoners to gauge the effects of their stasis. Emilie also happens to be the President of the United States' only daughter, a fact that the audience knows from the get-go, even […]
WonderCon 2012: 'Lockout' Rocks Out, 'Battleship' Sinks, 'Resident Evil' Resides, and 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Kind of Amazes
Features By Robert Fure on March 19, 2012 | Comments (2)Unfortunately for this year's WonderCon, I was only able to spend one day at the convention. When busting your cherry, convention or otherwise, it is often best to go nice and slow. While I'd have loved to get a few more hours at the convention, which moved to Anaheim, California, this year, I did more than just get my toes wet. Because it was raining. I spent the better, longer part of Saturday sitting in the massive ballroom at the Anaheim Convention Center, just down the street from Disneyland, staring up at a gigantic screen projecting clear images of actors, actresses, writers, and directors which, to my naked eye, were tiny specks about a quarter of a mile away. The panels I managed to get into included Lockout, Battleship, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Resident Evil: Retribution, so let's all take a look together at the joyous cinematic wonders they had to show!
'Lockout' Trailer Mixes Sci-Fi Fun With Prison Movie Grit
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 26, 2012 | Comments (3)The teaser trailer for the upcoming Guy Pearce vehicle Lockout (formerly Lock-Out) gave us a glimpse at the rogue charm Pearce has mustered up in the lead role, but it didn't let us in on much of what the movie is actually about. The new full-length trailer over at IGN gives us a bit more of that Pearce sass, but it also lays out pretty much the whole plot. Some of my favorite movies ever take multiple genres and blend them together. Sometimes blending genres creates a tonally weird mess (Cowboys & Aliens), but when you do it right you create something fresh and new out of used parts (Serenity), and it seems like Lockout has some potential to do the latter.
'Lock-Out' Trailer Sees Guy Pearce Channeling Snake Plissken in Outer Space
Movie News By Rob Hunter on December 7, 2011 | Comments (5)Guy Pearce is one of those actors you keep hoping will become a big star. The man's been in some fantastic films (Memento, LA Confidential, The Proposition) and almost always gives a stellar performance no matter the size of the role or quality of the movie. But for some reason he's never quite taken off the way he deserves. Not that he's been hard up for work… he appeared in HBO's much-lauded miniseries Mildred Pierce earlier this year and per IMDB has twelve upcoming projects in various stages of development including Ridley Scott's highly anticipated Prometheus. But before he stars in the alien movie that has absolutely nothing to do with Alien, he's heading to a far lower profile region of space. Lock-Out is about a convicted criminal (Pearce) who's given a singular chance at freedom if he can rescue the President's daughter from the middle of a space station prison riot. The film is the feature directorial debut of James Mather and Stephen St. Leger who also co-wrote the script with the busiest man in France, Luc Besson, so you know if nothing else there's going to be some fun, logic-free action. The short description makes it sound like the sequel to Escape From New York we should have gotten instead of the abysmal one we did. Check out the teaser trailer below.
Maggie Grace Goes Vegan Vamp for 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn'
Movie News By Neil Miller on September 27, 2010 | Comments (1)From her stint on Lost to being sold off for sex in Taken, Maggie Grace has proven herself to be nothing more than an actress with blond hair. But now, based on this new bit of casting news, she will be an actress with blond hair who is also in a Twilight movie. She will star alongside Edward, Jacob and Bella in the Bill Condon directed Twilight: Breaking Dawn, a flick that begins shooting this fall. According to Deadline Forks, she will play a character named Irina, who is (according to the Twilight Saga wiki) one of the vegetarian vampires who is not a big fan of Edward's warm-blooded girlfriend. I guess she was in love with Laurent (the deadlocked vamp who met his gnarly death in the last movie). Do I have that right, Twilight fans?
A Movie Starring Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker Goes Straight to DVD
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 12, 2010 | Comments (3)The new trailer for The Experiment promises to eat the weak or at least release some battery acid into your bloodstream with tension and social commentary. History and Psychology buffs will recognize the story as The Stanford Prison Experiment which saw volunteers divided into two groups to see how normal people would respond when given power over others or seeing their rights taken away. Such a fantastic premise for a film – and adding Academy favorites Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker to the bill is a masterstroke – so why is it going straight to DVD again?

Check It Out: Fresh New Clip from 'Taken'
First Look By Neil Miller on January 5, 2009 | Comments (30)I could probably give you a ten-point list of reasons why you should check out the upcoming suspense thriller Taken. Then again, all I really need is a clip from the film.
This week's entry may not look look like a French film, but the movie bible (IMDB) says it is, so it is. It's produced by a French man, directed by a French man, and released by a French production company. It's also filmed in English and is being released in the US one year after it's worldwide release.

Well now they have to rename it to Forked Lightning, since it totally doesn't "chain" any more.
thats awful, it's not CHAIN lightning anymore, why would they do this?
Sure it's not chain anymore...but I like it :P
It looks awesome, maybe Fork Lightning would fit better though.
"Why do we fight? To protect home and family, to preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind the true question is, what is worth fighting for?"
It was a bug according to GC's twitter.
I'm with Recom. Since WoW's version of Chain Lightning doesn't 'jump' to begin with, a Forked Lightning minor glyph would be sweet.
If they make it into a minor glyph, well... then we'd have atleast one fun addition to our glyph set.
Looks awesome, tbh. <3
Most people do not realize the talent and skill it requires to be in a top guild. Many of you think its only about time invested, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Sith lightning is more like it. I hope there is at least a glyph (or its a bug) to swap between the two, really prefer the look of chain lightning over forked.

Hi, I accidentally posted this on Garden Junk instead of here. It is how to figure out a round number price that includes the sales tax so you don't have to make small change at Craft Fairs. I was frustrated by a discussion on Etsy that had incorrect math in it. Then I couldn't figure out how to post on etsy, lol. Link is below if you are interested.

It's really quite easy once you get the hang of it. Let's say you are selling and want to round up to $10. And your state tax is 6%. How much are you charging for your product? Take out your trusty dusty calculator and do the following. Type in 10. Then DIVIDE that number by 1.06 and you will get the sales price. Works every time. |

Gov. Perry Equates UT Sports Problems with Penn St. Pedophilia Crisis
The Texas A&M Aggie graduate governor of Texas is trying to undermine University of Texas athletic programs to gain a political edge.
Read it again. Let it sink in. An Aggie governor is willing to screw with UT sports if it helps him achieve his political goals. He's probably also getting a few private chuckles out the harm he is causing, too. And it's pretty easy to prove his intentions.
Just for further political effect, Rick Perry also equated UT's sports problems with Penn State's pedophilia crimes.
On Super Bowl weekend, the UT board of regents called an emergency meeting to be conducted telephonically. They were supposedly discussing a four-year-old incident where assistant football coach Major Applewhite had a sexual indiscretion with a female team manager. Senator Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, couldn't understand why a meeting was necessary until her phone rang. Governor Perry's chief of staff was calling. A crisis was being manufactured.
Ann Bishop explained the emergency with a very disturbing sentence. "The regents don't want this to become another Penn State situation."
Again, seriously.
The chief of staff of the governor of Texas had just compared consensual sex between two adults to rampant pedophilia. She, and the regents, all appointed by Perry, had come upon a clunky plan to smear UT athletics. Bishop never retracted her statement and neither she nor the governor apologized for its ignorance. They were just hoping a solid punch had landed. And UT sports would stagger.
Perry, who is always willing to sacrifice anyone and anything for political advantage, ditched Bishop, but not because of the inflammatory nature of her analysis. He dumped her because she inadvertently let out the governor's political positioning strategy on UT. She was merely repeating what she'd probably heard in planning sessions. Bishop was new to that type of gutter politics. She had come over from the Employee's Retirement System to run Perry's office, and had been given a $160,000 bonus to make the transition. A few weeks after her moment of honesty, she was back in her old job, richer in political insight and money.
The Applewhite story, though, was clearly made public in response to UT's firing of Bev Kearney, the women's track coach who had acknowledged a relationship with one of her athletes. Perry and his political cronies were trying to take those two incidents and cleverly position UT athletics as a kind of Caligula of the NCAA.
But why?
This is where sports fans need to get a little political if they want to protect their university's reputation. Here's the simple answer to the question: Governor Perry does not like the president of the University of Texas and he is willing to kick around UT athletics to make President William C. Powers look like he doesn't know how to run a major university. If Perry can make Powers look incompetent, he stands a better chance of getting rid of him. Powers has disagreed with the governor on key matters regarding the funding and operation of UT. And Powers is right, which is embarrassing Perry. Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds reports to the university president, consequently, Perry wants to stick UT sports failings on Powers.
The Powers of President Powers are Challenged
The nasty dispute began over a philosophical difference on how to fund higher education. In 2003, the Aggie joke of a governor convinced the state legislature to deregulate college tuition by arguing that it would make universities compete for students and lower costs. His real reason for deregulation was a desire to cut funding to higher education, which was reduced the same year by 11 percent. In the last legislative session alone, UT was reduced $92 million by the state and began cannibalizing programs to cut corners. Colleges and universities that lost state funding had to make it up somewhere and the result was increased tuition rates. The state abdicated its responsibility to fund higher education under Perry's leadership and, consequently, institutions were forced to raise tuition to make up for losses. College tuition in Texas is up 55% since Perry led the deregulation charge. (The state presently has a surplus estimated at more than $8 billion and the governor refuses to touch it for either public schools, which he reduced by $5.5 billion, or higher education.)
Even the intellectually numb Perry had come to the realization he had screwed up. But he was looking for a way out and began talking about promoting a $10,000 degree and more online education, a notion pushed by the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation. This, of course, ignores the notion that the state's constitution calls for the creation of a "university of the first class," which means research and considerably more than just conferring degrees. But Perry had moved into political butt covering mode. Use a head fake to distract from the real problem. The 10k degree requires many college credit hours at the time of high school graduation, a couple of years in a community college, and then a very narrow choice of four year institutions to finish. The public was underwhelmed.
As was UT president William Powers.
The governor called for a four year freeze on tuition rates, even though he was the revival tent preacher who said absolution came from deregulation and a free market. Powers, though, looked at what was needed at the "university of the first class" and pushed for a tuition hike in the face of Perry's idea of a Family Dollar store degree. The regents failed to approve a suggested 2.6 percent increase. But the Aggie-grad gov got upset, anyway. He called upon Powers to resign to avoid the embarrassment of being voted out of his job by the board of regents.
Perry has appointed all of the nine current regents but they will have a tough time making a case against Powers. He was recently named to a two-year post as vice-chair and then chairman of the American Association of Universities, the most prestigious higher education group in the country. He has also cut the recent UT budget by $46 million while raising the four-year graduation rate over the past six years from 48 to 52 percent.
Still, Perry won't quit.
Perry appointees on the board of regents and some members of the legislature want to launch a $500,000 legal investigation into a law school deferred compensation program that was overseen by Powers. The program has already been investigated by the UT System's vice chancellor and general counsel as well as the state attorney general's office. Nothing improper was discovered but because Powers is a former dean of the law school and used the program to recruit and retain professors, Perry and his allies want another investigation. Let's take a guess how many $500,000 investigations have ever returned a report that said, "Leave it alone. Everything's fine." It's another Perry hit job.
Which is exactly what he is doing to the Longhorn sports programs. The governor wants to create a controversy where none exists. If he can make UT athletics look out of control, he can blame Powers. And that's why his political strategists equated UT sports with Penn State's pedophilia problems. The analogy is reprehensible and Perry owes an apology to a great university and the coaches and athletes that have strived to create a national reputation for excellence.
And then Perry needs to shut the hell up.

Things I love today:
- I love this drink, I love Going Home to Roost, I just got caught up in the wonders and delights and inspirations.
- Willa's affirmative nod, it's so adorable when you tell her "papa is putting salt on the pork chop" {definitive affirmative nod} Floods my heart with love.
- Hand forged scissors, I've seen several around in person (like at Stripe Men, and Lucca in Seattle), but these are nice online.
- I'm really loving my man's long hair; it's like an all new guy from the well-kept-short-do and big-bearded love I had two years ago. (And I liked him a lot, too.)
- The weather in Santa Cruz (I know, I know, I've told you, it's wonderful) is so beautiful. I'll confess to you though, we aren't going to stay in Santa Cruz for the ever term. In fact, I have my eyes (distant eyes, rest assured, sweet little surf city) settling to the mountains. Where would you go if you had a school bus home?
- I'm growing a new garden, I'll tell you the story later this week, but now, I'm trying to decide how invested I should get, do I build a greenhouse for my tomatoes and cucumbers because the wind is too strong thus too cold for them out at the farm? or should I opt for more location-appropriate crops? I get really thrilled when I think of the cute windows we have leaning on the fence just waiting for a greenhouse project just like this one!
- Wandering wedding blogs for inspiration. I love this wedding in Portland, I like this wedding dress, this garden wedding with yellow flowers! (love his suspenders). Also a part of me yearns for a simple elope-esque ceremony with utter intimacy–this could be the desperate-to-go-camping-soon in me, too, because I love love love the idea of sharing my ceremony and party with those that I love). A question on my mind lately: how do I incorporate my essence/style in my wedding without holding too much value on the venue? Is the venue everything? I want a farm with a barn next to a field. Simple and enchanted.
What do you love today, sweet reader?
