I'm going to be on "Up With Chris Hayes" (MSNBC) this Sunday, between 9 and 10 am (EST). Talking with Chris about The Reactionary Mind, the GOP campaign, and more. Yes, that's 9 am on New Year's Day.
4 Responses to "I'm going to be on TV"
Well, this is certainly a good omen for the new year! Let's hope there's much more of this to come in 2012!
Aside from you in paricular, which is great news, this a hopeful sign more generally as well. Chris has far too many center-right hacks on his show. The center-leftists he has on need to be challenged more from the left. It's better for them, as well as being better for of all of us.
So, may this be but the first of many appearances by you, and may you be but the first of many guests to help pull the conversation away from the black hole of DC consensus politics.
Still, I seriously doubt I'm going to be watching it live.
Just watched the interview I'm wondering what you thought about Hayes's last question? I found it quite odd, in that he can't quite seem to acknowledge the conclusion of the book, although he agrees with it. As I remember, his last question was, "if the book is right and conservatives don't really care about tradition, or community or whatever idea they publicly advocate but instead are motivated by reactionary defenses of hierarchy, then I can't see a reason for talking to them. But I want to talk to them and invite them on my show. So they must be able to contribute something, right?"
Hayes is one of the most left figures in national television media, yet he somehow can't wrap his emotions around an argument that discredits his opponents. Thus, a discussion of a book critical of conservatives on a progressive show some how ended on the possible contributions of the Right. (Specifically on the ludicrous point that somehow the real heroes of fascist resistance were conservatives?!?!?!)
Anyway, I find it interesting how many people just can't seem to deal with the book's conclusions. Berman focuses on the language and style of argument, Lilla just ignores it and writes his own history, and Hayes, who agrees with you, struggles to find some redeeming qualities in a movement whose ideals he obviously finds odious. All of these are forms of avoidance.
Anyway you did great—I know how hard it is on TV panels like that to get your point across and you nailed it.

FDA Seeks To Regulate E-Cigs
Thursday, April 24, 2014
(Washington, DC) -- The FDA wants to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to minors. The ban is among new proposed rules which would give the FDA control over the booming industry. E-cigs contain nicotine and come in many different flavors. Critics say the flavored products are hooking a new generation of minors on nicotine. Sales of e-cigs hit the two-billion dollar mark last year with an estimated four-million users.

352 McIntyre to Burton
Minute CANBERRA, 6 December 1948
Two points occur to me in connection with your suggested telegram [1]- (a) The suggestion of an international police force to keep order in Indonesia does not of course solve the question of who is to control all armed forces in Indonesia on which the negotiations are said to have come to a standstill. The question at issue is not that of a police force to keep order, but that of who is to control the Netherlands armed forces (which the Dutch want to keep in Indonesia) and the Republican army (which the Republicans want to keep [in being] [2]), and how the two forces can exist side by side. I think an international police force would simply add to the confusion unless the wider question is settled, in which event there would not be much for it to do. The idea might conceivably be useful as a debating point in the Security Council, though I am not sure how.
(b) I take it you feel sure that Australia could contribute a component to any international police force in Indonesia if the idea was taken up. [3]

Leading the Charge into Battle
Preview two of the heroes from the upcoming Dust Tactics Hero Packs |
Dust Tactics | Published 15 February 2012 |
As the struggle continued, field officers became more and more important...as there were fewer of them every day. To protect them, each army was ready to make big sacrifices, risking the lives of many to save a few.
But without these few leaders, the armies would lose their heads quickly.
-Opereation "Cerberus" Rulebook
New leadership for your Dust Tactics forces is always a welcome addition. Every Commander needs top-notch leaders they can count on when the going gets rough. Several weeks ago, we previewed four new Dust Tactics heroes from the upcoming Hero Packs in Here Come the Heroes. This week's preview takes a closer look at Action Jackson and Stefan. Look for the Allied Hero Pack and the Axis Hero Pack to be on your retailer's shelves next week! .
A blast of energy
As commanding officer of the 3rd Parachute Brigade, Action Jackson is famous for leading high-risk operations. Although he and his men have recently traded in their parachutes for lethal phaser weapons, they still prefer to be in the heart of any battle. Moreover, field-testing phaser technology is of the upmost importance to the Allies, and ASOCOM trusts Action Jackson and his Red Devils with this vital task.
Pairing Action Jackson with the Red Devils creates a unit that can produce an overwhelming amount of shots from their phaser guns. With just a few direct hits from these energy weapons, entire units and vehicles are ripped asunder. Action Jackson gives the squad the Assualt ability, which means they can temporarily increase their speed in order to get into a prime firing location. Furthermore, such is the power of phasers, that they ignore all cover. This makes Action Jackson and the Red Devils an ideal squad for dealing with targets in buildings or behind anti-tank traps.
Blazing heroics
Oberleutnant Stefan Retter is a master of close assaults. After seeing the effectiveness of the flamethrowers employed by the Allies, Stefan realized the weapon's potential. Now he wields a deadly Flammenwerfer that indiscriminately melts flesh and metal. Fighting fire with fire, Stefan has turned one of the Allies own strengths against them.
For even more flamethrower attacks, join Stefan to a Sturmpioniere squad. Not only does this give you two brutal flamethrower attacks, but you also capitalize on pairing Sturmpionere's Fast ability with Stefan's Assault, creating a unit that can move at blistering speed for one activation (as many as 5 spaces). Also, this squad can be used to ferret out threats ranging from common foot soldiers to heavily armored vehicles. In addition to the flame weapons, this squad also has three Panzerfausts at their disposal, meaning they can deliver a crippling blow to almost any enemy.
With the new Dust Tactics Hero Packs, you'll have even more resources to build the perfect army. Add Action Jackson, Stefan, or any of the other heroes included in these expansions to your army, and help determine the future of the world! Both the Allies Hero Pack and Axis Hero Pack will be available at your retailer next week.
Don't forget about the Dust Tactics Walker Conversion Contest where your creation could become part of the range of models available from dust-models.com. Read the contest rules, and then submit your best walker creation.
Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures game of brutal combat for 2-4 players. Based on the popular universe created by artist Paolo Parente, Dust Tactics presents an alternate 1940s reality in which alien technology fuels gigantic machines of war, and the world's superpowers clash over rare mineral deposits that could ultimately decide the outcome of WWII.

Landmark Project Could Make Chemotherapy Obsolete in 20 Years
Landmark Project Could Make Chemotherapy Obsolete in 20 Years
Drugs that target cancer without harming healthy cells and triggering distressing side effects could be a reality in 20 years, claim British scientists.
A landmark project to map 100,000 complete DNA code sequences is set to transform treatment of cancer and rare diseases, meaning chemotherapy could be obsolete within a generation.
David Cameron said it will make Britain the world leader in genetic research as he announced a package of deals worth 300million to carry out the work, expected to be completed by 2017.
Over the next four years, about 75,000 patients with cancer and rare diseases, plus their close relatives, will have their whole genetic codes, or genomes, sequenced. Cancer patients will have the DNA of both healthy and tumor cells mapped, making up the 100,000 total.
Scientists expect the project to be pivotal to the development of personalized treatments based on genetics, with the potential to revolutionize medicine. The researchers are looking for tiny changes in the genetic code that can trigger disease or affect its progress.
Professor Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, which is part of the project, said genome sequencing will help drug companies design medicines that can successfully target the tumor.
It means healthy tissue will be unharmed, side effects such as hair loss will be banished, and many patients will be spared the ordeal of treatment that doesnt work.
He said: Its actually happening now, in small ways. If you go into a hospital with lung cancer, for instance, that cancer will be sequenced.
Twenty years from now academics and industry will have developed therapies which will be targeted at you and specific forms of cancer.
'We will look back in 20 years time and the blockbuster chemotherapy drugs that gave you all those nasty side effects will be a thing of the past.
Nothing on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project has been attempted anywhere before and other countries are watching the UKs progress, say academics behind the project.
A 78million partnership between Genomics England, the body set up by the Department of Health to oversee the project, and the Californian DNA sequencing technology company Illumina is being unveiled by the Prime Minister today. Mr Cameron said: This agreement will see the UK lead the world in genetic research within years.
I am determined to do all I can to support the health and scientific sector to unlock the power of DNA, turning an important scientific breakthrough into something that will help deliver better tests, better drugs and above all better care for patients.
The genomes to be sequenced will be split evenly between cancer and rare diseases. Included on the cancer list so far are breast, bowel, ovarian, lung, prostate and leukemia.

Most of my tomatoes are splitting, i guess because they didn't have enough water all summer and now are getting drenched. I've been able to freeze a few that are ripe enough, but the others will probably go bad before they ripen, right? Any ideas? I don't have a lot of them picked, but more are coming and they're starting to crack too. |

I think I'd pick them all ASAP, and ripen them in the house. The ones that were split, I'd also let ripen, cut off the split part, cook the good bits in a pot on the stove for a few minutes, and then freeze for soup or tomato sauce. Do you have lots and lots of them? I used to ripen split tomatoes in the house and most of them didn't go bad. I hope you'll be as lucky =:) |
I don't have a real lot of them. Did you wrap them or anything? Oh, and you mean, you picked them green and let them ripen? I can do that - that's what we usually do with green tomatoes anyway. Thanks, Lynne! |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Thu, Sep 22, 11 at 19:19
Marcia, I didn't wrap them or anything as I thought that would promote fungus growing in the cracks. I just put them into a cardboard box without a lid and watched for ripening. There seems to be two sides to the pick green/blush or ripe debate as far as flavour goes, but I think if you're going to get splitting from the sudden rain, you may opt for the try to avoid splitting option. Remember though, I'm no expert, and I'm also a try it once and see what happens type of gardener. I've learned from lots of mistakes, LOL! Maybe Don or Konrad or someone else with a bigger tomato harvest will chime in here =:) |

I throw mine out. :0( The only way I'll use them is if they cracked while I was picking them. |

Sorry, not much of any help, I never seen this happen on the green one's, red yes. I'm sure, you can kook these into a dish of soup stew etc. some people use green tomatoes for relish. Perhaps saran wrap and lay them out till red...at least see what happens. |

I like to make a savoury chutney with a mix of chopped red and green tomatoes. Puree them, then cook with salt, cayenne pepper, lots of olive oil, a bit of cumin and curry powder if you prefer, pinch of sugar. Cook all ingredients until the consistency of ketchup. Goes well with Indian food. You could omit the curry powder, eliminate the olive oil, substitute jalapenos for the cayenne pepper, and you can make a great salsa. |
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Some of the tomatoes were just too split - i should have picked them earlier. They just went bad. :( There are a few more out there that i'll pick before the end of the week when cooler weather is forecast, and i'll try to ripen them inside. I've noticed that the variety of tomato that is splitting so badly is "Black Krim", from seeds someone sent me last year. I gave a friend some plants in the spring and she recently told me that hers were splitting too. Lack of water on our part is what i thought the reason was for ours splitting - the little beaver pond we use for watering has pretty much dried up (lack of rain, and, more importantly, lack of beavers!). But my friend did water her garden, so i'm not sure about the cause - skins that are too thin, i guess. |

A documentary film featuring life, artwork and thinking of renowned Bangladeshi artist Shahid Kabir was premiered on March 31 at the Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts in Dhanmondi
The film, titled "Shahid Kabir: Prantikotar Rupokar" has been directed by Rashed Chowdhury. Before screening the film, a discussion was held where the artist and filmmaker talked about the film, their experiences and more. The filmmaker spent five years to make the film and he journeyed to different parts of the country with the artist.
The 60 minute documentary depicts various aspects of Kabir's life -- his paintings, themes, childhood, thinking process, how he spends his leisure, his traveling over rural areas and more. The film has also focused his bohemian life. As a bohemian, the artist restlessly walks from street to street, and has portrayed prostitutes and street women, starving people, and dying mothers with their children.
The painter mainly paints ardently with the subjects of downtrodden people, their daily chores and usable items as well as neglected segments of our surroundings. His art features particularly the disadvantaged and exploited community. Their destitution and struggles are recurring subjects of his works.
The documentary also depicts images of the artist's family members including his parents. Besides, the film shows Kabir's childhood images where he is playing and making sketches, portraits and landscapes. His philosophy of art is revealed in the documentary through interviews, where the artist shares that he was born in a well-off family but he was never attracted to wealth. He liked to spend his time with poor and underprivileged people in the society.

To be successful in business you don't need to be a technology whiz - but you should have a plan in place for making the most of your company's data. According to the Minnesota Society of CPAs (MNCPA), the end of the year is an excellent time to carefully examine your company's technology to determine what's working well and what could be improved. Start by asking yourself the following questions.
Is it time for my business to update its computer equipment?
Technology changes rapidly, so although your company's systems may appear to be working well, you may be missing out on new ways to protect your business information, help your business run more efficiently, and better serve your customers.
For example, to run some of today's most powerful programs, you need a fast and large hard drive with significant memory capacity. You might consider adding newer technology, such as wireless capabilities, to older equipment, but often the cost of
upgrading a computer is more than the cost of a new model.
If you do need new computers or other equipment, consider making the investment before the end of the year, so you can take advantage of the 2007 expensing deduction. Under the Section 179 expensing allowance, small businesses that qualify may expense -- that is, deduct -- up to 100 percent of the cost of most business property in the year it is put into service, rather than recover the cost through depreciation deductions. The maximum amount of equipment placed in service that businesses can expense increased under the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 from $112,000 to $125,000. This expensing limit is reduced if the cost of the eligible assets placed in service during 2007 exceeds $500,000.
Do I have an effective system to protect my equipment from power surges and power outages?
Loss of electrical power and power surges are the most common causes of data loss and weaken computer components. If your business depends on computers, protecting your power source is critical. This is especially important if your area is prone to power fluctuations or electrical storms.
An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) unit offers both superior surge protection and, depending on the model, anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes of backup power - enough time to save and copy critical files. The idea of a UPS isn't to continue your business dealings while the lights are out, but to ensure that your data is available when the lights come back on.
Have I installed the latest version of my computer's operating system and software?
CPAs strongly recommend that you keep your operating system (OS) and software applications current by regularly downloading and installing all updates. Updates improve performance, fix bugs, and may add new features. You should also regularly update and run anti-virus software.
Generally when registering your software, you will be enrolled in or be informed about the vendor's upgrade strategies, which often include automatic online checks for updates.
How strong is my data backup system?
You need to consider your storage needs in terms of both capacity and physical location. Depending on the amount of data you have, you can back up your hard drive to USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, tapes, or an external drive. You might also want to look into off-premise backup. There are many firms on the web that will store your backup data for you for a monthly fee.
How well is my company's data integrated?
Over the years, small businesses tend to produce multiple silos of data. Your inventory, sales data, and marketing information need to be linked together to better serve your customers and increase your company's productivity and profitability. Without this integration, you may not know who your best customers are or, worse yet, you could end up agreeing to provide a top customer with an item you don't have in your inventory.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 There was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; and David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul became weaker and weaker. | 1 The war between the house of Saul and the house of David lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker. |
2 And sons were born to David at Hebron: his first-born was Amnon, of Ahin'o-am of Jezreel; | 2 Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon the son of Ahinoam of Jezreel; |
3 and his second, Chil'e-ab, of Ab'igail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; and the third, Ab'salom the son of Ma'acah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; | 3 his second, Kileab the son of Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; the third, Absalom the son of Maacah daughter of Talmai king of Geshur; |
4 and the fourth, Adoni'jah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephati'ah the son of Abi'tal; | 4 the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; |
5 and the sixth, Ith're-am, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron. | 5 and the sixth, Ithream the son of David's wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron. |
6 While there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner was making himself strong in the house of Saul. | 6 During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had been strengthening his own position in the house of Saul. |
7 Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ai'ah; and Ish-bo'sheth said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?" | 7 Now Saul had had a concubine named Rizpah daughter of Aiah. And Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, "Why did you sleep with my father's concubine?" |
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bo'sheth, and said, "Am I a dog's head of Judah? This day I keep showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not given you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me today with a fault concerning a woman. | 8 Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said and he answered, "Am I a dog's head--on Judah's side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven't handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman! |
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not accomplish for David what the LORD has sworn to him, | 9 May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD promised him on oath |
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beer-sheba." | 10 and transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and establish David's throne over Israel and Judah from Dan to Beersheba." |
11 And Ish-bo'sheth could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him. | 11 Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him. |
12 And Abner sent messengers to David at Hebron, saying, "To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring over all Israel to you." | 12 Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, "Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you." |
13 And he said, "Good; I will make a covenant with you; but one thing I require of you; that is, you shall not see my face, unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face." | 13 "Good," said David. "I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me." |
14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-bo'sheth Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed at the price of a hundred foreskins of the Philistines." | 14 Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, "Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins." |
15 And Ish-bo'sheth sent, and took her from her husband Pal'ti-el the son of La'ish. | 15 So Ish-Bosheth gave orders and had her taken away from her husband Paltiel son of Laish. |
16 But her husband went with her, weeping after her all the way to Bahu'rim. Then Abner said to him, "Go, return"; and he returned. | 16 Her husband, however, went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back home!" So he went back. |
17 And Abner conferred with the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time past you have been seeking David as king over you. | 17 Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, "For some time you have wanted to make David your king. |
18 Now then bring it about; for the LORD has promised David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and from the hand of all their enemies.'" | 18 Now do it! For the LORD promised David, 'By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.' " |
19 Abner also spoke to Benjamin; and then Abner went to tell David at Hebron all that Israel and the whole house of Benjamin thought good to do. | 19 Abner also spoke to the Benjamites in person. Then he went to Hebron to tell David everything that Israel and the whole house of Benjamin wanted to do. |
20 When Abner came with twenty men to David at Hebron, David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him. | 20 When Abner, who had twenty men with him, came to David at Hebron, David prepared a feast for him and his men. |
21 And Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires." So David sent Abner away; and he went in peace. | 21 Then Abner said to David, "Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a compact with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires." So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace. |
22 Just then the servants of David arrived with Jo'ab from a raid, bringing much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David at Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. | 22 Just then David's men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. |
23 When Jo'ab and all the army that was with him came, it was told Jo'ab, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has let him go, and he has gone in peace." | 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, he was told that Abner son of Ner had come to the king and that the king had sent him away and that he had gone in peace. |
24 Then Jo'ab went to the king and said, "What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why is it that you have sent him away, so that he is gone? | 24 So Joab went to the king and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! |
25 You know that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing." | 25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing." |
26 When Jo'ab came out from David's presence, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern of Sirah; but David did not know about it. | 26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know it. |
27 And when Abner returned to Hebron, Jo'ab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he smote him in the belly, so that he died, for the blood of As'ahel his brother. | 27 Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the gateway, as though to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him in the stomach, and he died. |
28 Afterward, when David heard of it, he said, "I and my kingdom are for ever guiltless before the LORD for the blood of Abner the son of Ner. | 28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, "I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner. |
29 May it fall upon the head of Jo'ab, and upon all his father's house; and may the house of Jo'ab never be without one who has a discharge, or who is leprous, or who holds a spindle, or who is slain by the sword, or who lacks bread!" | 29 May his blood fall upon the head of Joab and upon all his father's house! May Joab's house never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food." |
30 So Jo'ab and Abi'shai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother As'ahel in the battle at Gibeon. | 30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.) |
31 Then David said to Jo'ab and to all the people who were with him, "Rend your clothes, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the bier. | 31 Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, "Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner." King David himself walked behind the bier. |
32 They buried Abner at Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. | 32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner's tomb. All the people wept also. |
33 And the king lamented for Abner, saying, "Should Abner die as a fool dies? | 33 The king sang this lament for Abner: "Should Abner have died as the lawless die? |
34 Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered; as one falls before the wicked you have fallen." And all the people wept again over him. | 34 Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. You fell as one falls before wicked men." And all the people wept over him again. |
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!" | 35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, "May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!" |
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as everything that the king did pleased all the people. | 36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them. |
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king's will to slay Abner the son of Ner. | 37 So on that day all the people and all Israel knew that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner. |
38 And the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel? | 38 Then the king said to his men, "Do you not realize that a prince and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? |
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; these men the sons of Zeru'iah are too hard for me. The LORD requite the evildoer according to his wickedness!" | 39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!" |

Plasmalite® IPL Hair Removal
Removing unwanted and superfluous hair is always a problem. Conventional methods of hair removal such as shaving and creams are time consuming and short lived. Waxing and electrolysis can be painful and may cause further discomfort such as ingrown hairs.
There is an alternative …… Plasmalite®
What is Plasmalite?
Plasmalite® is the third generation of Light Based Hair Removal Systems. Incorporating all of the benefits of both Laser and Intense Pulse Light in a single system and using unique fluorescence technology. Plasmalite® offers non-invasive, safe and effective hair removal for all skin types and colours.
How does Plasmalite® work?
Plasmalite® uses the power of light to target the melanin found naturally in the hair shaft and hair follicle. Clinical trials have shown that red light is preferentially absorbed by the melanin. Each pulse of red light causes the temperature within the hair shaft and hair follicle to rise. Once the temperature reaches about 70C, the proteins in the cells denature and each active hair follicle dies, its ability to regrow destroyed.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required varies, depending on the density and location of the hair growth. Approximately 30% of the body hair is in the growing phase at any one time. The remainder is dormant and unable to absorb light. Plasmalite® will remove about 75% of the growing hair at each treatment. Most people need between 3 and 5 treatments. However, extremely coarse, dense hair e.g. a man's beard may take longer.
How does it feel?
Most people experience minimal discomfort, feeling no more than a slight tingling sensation. A topical gel is applied prior to treatment to minimise the sensation.
What about skin colour?
Black hair in white skin is the easiest to treat. However, trials show that people of Hispanic, Middle Eastern or Pakistan/Indian origin usually have a sufficient difference in pigmentation between the hairshaft/follicle and surrounding skin tissue for treatment to be successful.
Is hair colour important?
In general, the darker the hair, the more effective the treatment. However, blonde hair often responds well to treatment even when an early prognosis was less optimistic.
What does the treatment involve?
When you come for Plasmalite® treatment a trained operator will discuss how Plasmalite® works and assess if it is suitable for you. A test patch will be carried out to observe its effect on you. A thin layer of the cooling gel will be spread over the area to be treated. The Wave-Guide is then drawn over the area and you may notice a series of short light flashes as it passes over. You may not see an immediate difference, but within 2-3 weeks of your second treatment, there will be significant hair loss.
Are there any side effects?
Some parts of the body are more sensitive than others and may redden or swell slightly, however this should settle down after a few hours. In extreme cases slight blistering may occur, this normally heals within a few days. A temporary increase or decrease in skin colour may also occur, but again this is rare and always disappears after a few months.
Which areas can be treated?
Plasmalite® can be used to treat any area of the body and any skin type. It is, however important for your consultant to perform a test patch before proceeding to a full treatment.
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Some people are more sensitive to light than others, so please help your consultant by being completely honest when filling out the assessment form.

Hi all,
We wanted a miniature pool, so I built one. We have a two year old little boy and are expecting another little boy in about 5 weeks. We wanted something that they can safely stand in and play in. For the past few years, we have had an Intex pool, and the depth was great for little kids (water about 24" deep), but they left something to be desired in the aesthetic department, plus Bella, our golden/lab mix, couldn't keep an eye on us, nor was she really able to get in. So this is our 5-year pool. 9' diameter, water is about 26" deep, roughly 1000 gallons, it is a Behlen Country stock tank. I plumbed it and am running a Pentair Dynamo pump and Hayward 14" sand filter. Both are overkill, but the little filters just can't get it done, plus this is a non-flooded application so I needed a self priming pump. $379 for the tank
I plan to add a spa heater in September/October. We aren't looking for 100 degrees, just want to get it up into the 85-90ish range for some fall and spring swimming. There is a nice little Balboa unit for $350 that is complete with digital controls. So here it is. No diving, please! |

That's fantastic. Great job! I'm sure everybody will enjoy! |
I am impressed. Scott |
Thank you all for the kind compliments. This was a fun, and relatively inexpensive project, and should serve us well until we are ready for our custom gunite pool! This forum is my favorite, I love everyone's beautiful pools. |

In "What Moves Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
And let me tell you, if you have indeed been renewed in the spirit of your minds, it will [show] it self in your lives. — Charles Chauncy (1705-1787)
Think of a practice you might do to help you deepen your spiritual life. Try it and decide if, indeed, you have begun to construct a Unitarian Universalist Theology of Spiritual Renewal relevant for your life today.
Faith in Action
With the help of ministerial staff, arrange to meet with another group in the congregation—for example, a Coming of Age class, a youth group, a New UU Group, or with an interfaith group. Talk together about the ways spiritual experiences show themselves in our lives and in our actions. Offer this quote from Chauncy as a springboard for sharing: "[I]f you have indeed been renewed in the spirit of your minds, it will [show] it self in your lives."
For more information contact email@example.com.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

[terri chandler] - http://www.breakingnews.com/item/ahZzfmJyZWFraW5nbmV3cy13d3ctaHJkcg0LEgRTZWVkGNrbiBUM/2013/10/01/photo-wwii-vets-from-mississippi-storm-closed-mem#
[michael keller] - Piers doesn't want to return to his homeland....he embarrassed them when he was there and now is an even bigger embarrassment. I wonder if China wants him ?

[bill robertson] - Send him back across the pond!
[janet rossi] - He can join the "View". He'll fit right in with all the other wackos!
[kenny daniels] - I guess you can go head now and deport yourself piers
[kathy palmer czerwieski] - He should just go home!!!
[chuck tomlin] - lol, but he was such an easy fool to destroy!
[steven resner] - He should never ask a question that he doesn't want to hear the answer. Of course he never gives anyone the opportunity to answer. He talks just to hear his empty head rattle. The people of Great Britain don't want him either.
[john dunavant] - it's about time but can he be deported please
[peter pachecos] - No.
Keep this guy on! He's been the perfect poster boy for the idiots who control media.
[david dodge] - who is he lol I dont watch CNN much
[rhonda blossom] - Thank you very much.
[stella altman] - Thing about Piers Morgan to me was I could only hear his side of the argument on anything, guns - you name it - because he interruped his guests so much and so loudly I never could hear what his guests had to say.
[john callaci] - This clown has to go. I'm sure the Commie News Network will find another.
[lilac benghazi mcfarland] - It's because he's not eligible for obombadontcare, isn't it? :DHerman Cain: Wait a minute, if they dump Piers, who will they get to display their complete ignorance of fir - 50th Comments

[brenda hall] - Send all the British American haters back home so that they can insult their idiots!
[ernie clark] - Well, now he can leave this country that he hates so much. He stated that if gun control legislation were not passed he would be moving. What's your excuse for not leaving now? If I were king it would be law that all socialist and communist would be deported. Socialism and communism are not new to this country. It invaded our schools over 60 years ago. John Dewey came up with the current curriculum that is taught in our schools today. He was an atheistic communist.
[ken aho] - i have a rowboat he can have to get back to england with
[dave carter] - They can't drop him! Who will provide comic relief for the masses?
[peter caroline] - Unfortunately, England doesn't want him back. Maybe he should try Somalia.
[bill snoberger] - Wow. Even CNN has had enough and that's saying something.
[trudi blackwood] - I'm sick of people coming to OUR country and telling us what to do. That goes for OBAMA too. Get the f outy

[rodney plants] - Maybe now he will finally leave the country
[veronika hyte] - It's about time. Go home, Piers.
[sharleen kniefel dorland] - People think the ACA is about Health, lol, better wise up. Yes, some of it is, but ALOT of it has to do w/ our rights being slooooowly taken away. TAKE 2 MIN AND EDUCATE YOURSELF. READ ON: To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and itsimplications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession. The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business,and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government. this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most MASSIVE TRANSFER OF POWER to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred,or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However , that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn't stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of
the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Ever seen that show Storage Wars on A&E? It's about modern-day treasure hunters who bid on abandoned storage units without knowing their contents.
Enter Colorado Rapids forward Tony Cascio. He's a big fan of the show, so much so that he decided to buy a storage unit of his own and is spending his Friday and Saturday off selling its contents in a yard sale.
"I basically love buying and selling things and my favorite TV shows right now are Pawn Stars and Storage Wars. So I figured I would buy a storage unit and have a yard sale," said Cascio.
The unit that he ousted other bidders for, he says, is approximately 8 feet wide, 8 feet high, by 30 feet long.
"In Storage Wars you kind of know what you're getting and you kind of dont', so it's sort of an adrenaline rush."
Cascio says in his unit he's found a bunch of framed baseball cards, golf clubs, some DVD players and other electronics, dressers, and other random items. Although he won't know until the end of the day tomorrow how much it was all worth.
"There's so much stuff here it's unreal. Some people just look and leave. Others ask for antiques and a couple actually buy things. So we'll see how it goes."
If you're interested in checking out Cascio's loot, you can find him on S. Lincoln St, between E. Virginia Ave and E. Dakota Ave. He says he'll be there until around 3 p.m. today, and will be at it again early tomorrow.
Last night I had a chance to not only see an Olympic gold and bronze medal in person for the first time, but to also touch one and feels its weight. Janay DeLoach, who won the bronze medal in London in the long jump, allowed me to hold her medal - and then even took a photo of me with it. In those few second I tried to envision what it must have been like to not only compete among the most elite athletes in the world, but to also have a medal hanging from your neck. It was pretty cool!
The Rapids hosted seven Colorado athletes that competed at the 2012 London Olympics on Wednesday night during the match against Portland. And while we applauded loudly as their names were announced and they waived to the crowd, it was also neat to see how appreciative they were at being recognized and honored by fans from a different sport. One Olympian even came with a Denver Bronco player. Here are some tweets from the Olympians in attendance:

Every few months the community relations department organizes an 'signing' day, where they collect each department's need's for autographs and set them out for the players to autograph.
The most common use for all the autographed gear is for donations, which we get a lot of, especially for functions where they are used as fundraising items.
The remainder is often used for gifts, sometimes for partners and / or sponsors, and sometimes for prizes or giveaways at various club functions.
That's Andre Akpan in the distance in the hallway right outside the locker room. He was one of the first to tackle the 300-400 items after today's practice. The rest of the guys then slowly tickled out, each individually signing each piece.
After finishing his drills at Wednesday's training, which took place inside the stadium, Drew Moor went up to the locker room. A few minutes later he walked back out and approached three fans that were watching the session from the first row. Holding a match ball under his right arm, Drew told these fans how the players had come across this autographed ball sitting in Wells Thompson's locker. Collectively, they wanted to give it to Allan.
Joan, Mark, and Allan are season ticket holders that have been to every open practice so far this season. The only sessions they have not attended are the ones on the day before home games, which are closed to the public. They have become such a staple at training that the players even know their birthdays.
So, having given Joan and Mark a jersey and ball earlier this summer, Drew today presented Allan his birthday gift on behalf of the team!
This past Saturday, July 28 the Special Olympics Rapids took on the Special Olympics Sounders at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Despite a 2-0 loss, the SO Rapids enjoyed playing in the stadium, under the big lights with family and fans on the sidelines.

The 2012 London Summer Olympics got underway this week with men and women's soccer. The 'official' Opening Ceremonies take place on Friday.
The athletes have been preparing for years, and we recently received word the the U.S. Judo team has been preparing for Gold, in Burgundy.
Colorado Rapids chiropracter Dr. Joseph Arvay and Maximize Living are also the chiropractors of the judo team (as well as many other teams). Dr. Avay shared these photos of the judo team donning our gear while they prepared for the Games in Colorado Springs.
Kayla Harrison (above left) is currently among the top five in the world at the 78-kilo division and consider a medal contender when she begins her first Olympics on August 2. Travis Stevens (above right), also ranked in the top 10, begins his quest on July 31 in the 81 kg division. Marti Malloy will compete at the 57 kg and Kyle Vashkula at 100 kg. The other team member not pictured is Nick Delpopolo, who will challenge at 73 kg.
From everyone at the Colorado Rapids, Good Luck in London!

Tonight's match is the club's first international friendly in a few years, as they take on English Premier League side Swansea City. Scarf collectors won't want to pass this one up. A limited number of these Rapids-Swansea scarves - without today's date - will be on sale at the Dick's Sporting Goods Park team store for only $20. Get there early to get one!
On Sunday morning, members of the Colorado Rapids front office staff participated in the Evergreen Sprint Triathlon, where the Rapids also had a tent and street team present at the finish line village. The Rapids formed four relay teams of three people each to participate in the Sprint Triathlon, which consisted of a 750 meter swim in the Evergreen Lake, a 12 mile bike ride that ran alongside Bear Creek, and a three mile run through a mix of dirt roads and trails around the lake.
Rapids 1, made up of President Tim Hinchey (swim), Director of Media Relations David Lindholm (bike) and Marketing Manager Wayne Brant (run), finished first among the relay teams with an overall time of 1:21:06. Hinchey's swim time of 10:06 was just a under minute shy of the triathlon champion, who finished the leg in 9:15.
Surrounded by beautiful scenery and perfect weather, the Rapids teams demonstrated their best ONECLUB spirit and cheered on the rest of the finishers before celebrating with lunch at a nearby restaurant. Looking forward to the next challenge!
The Rapids relay teams finished in the following order:
Rapids 1 – 1:21:06
Tim Hinchey (swim), David Lindholm (bike) and Wayne Brant (run)
Rapids 2 - 1:43:24
Chelsea Hedrick (swim), Kristen Sonsma (bike) and Emily Kilcoyne (run)
Rapids 3 – 1:43:24
Ryan Truxel (swim), Gordon Smith (bike) and Christa Dellebovi (run)
Rapids 4 – 1:55:54

Tatiana will be spinning in the Cantina on the south end of the stadium leading up to the Colorado Rapids vs FC Dallas game, and also after the match. Avoid sitting in traffic in the parking lots and enjoy some the entertainment of DJ Tatiana!
On Sunday, the players arrived at Starfire Complex around 10:30 for the 12 pm match. After getting ready they took part in the Opening Ceremony, which included a welcome message from Sounders VP Gary Wright and a Washington Olympian reciting the Special Olympics oath:
"Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
Rapids Olympian Andie Zitek then sang the national anthem and we were ready to kick off.
Our captain Mackenzie Beauvias-Niki scored for us, and Dominic Sisneros played a great game in goal, taking a couple hard shots off the chest and hands. But in the end it was the Washington Olympians that came away with the 5-1 win.
However the score seemed almost secondary to the amount of fun these athletes had. It was a special event, complete with the Soundwave band which showed up at halftime and played most of the second half and post-game
They then had former U.S. National Team and Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller lead awards ceremony, and he was joined by Sounders players Cato and Roger Levesque.
Conor Coleman - who if you've kept up on these post, you realize is a ham - was infatuated with the big horns of the Soundwave, and he made a new friend that let him try it out.
And what has been perhaps the most hilarious moment of the entire trip, Colorado's Ipsen Ayala photo-bombed the Sounders team picture with the team, Southwave, Keller, etc. Check out photo and his pose below – it explains it all. It was all in good humor and everyone got a good laugh.

If I weren't nursing our first little guy right now, I'd be eating Mexican and Italian the most. But spaghetti and pizza don't agree with him, I'm guessing either the garlic or the tomato sauce. As for Mexican, no beans, no spices, and NO garlic. And easy, very easy on the onion. Pretty bland for me...chicken and rice and ham and cheese and peanut butter, eggs, etc. BUT--once I'm done nursing in, oh, about a year, I'll be able to eat those again.
