English Standard Version (ESV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts run their round. | 1 Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals go on. |
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be moaning and lamentation, and she shall be to me like an Ariel. | 2 Yet I will besiege Ariel; she will mourn and lament, she will be to me like an altar hearth. |
3 And I will encamp against you all around, and will besiege you with towers and I will raise siegeworks against you. | 3 I will encamp against you all around; I will encircle you with towers and set up my siege works against you. |
4 And you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak, and from the dust your speech will be bowed down; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and from the dust your speech shall whisper. | 4 Brought low, you will speak from the ground; your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth; out of the dust your speech will whisper. |
5 But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff. And in an instant, suddenly, | 5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust, the ruthless hordes like blown chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, |
6 you will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire. | 6 the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire. |
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night. | 7 Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Ariel, that attack her and her fortress and besiege her, will be as it is with a dream, with a vision in the night-- |
8 As when a hungry man dreams he is eating and awakes with his hunger not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion. | 8 as when a hungry man dreams that he is eating, but he awakens, and his hunger remains; as when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he awakens faint, with his thirst unquenched. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion. |
9 Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink! | 9 Be stunned and amazed, blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not from wine, stagger, but not from beer. |
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers). | 10 The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers). |
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed." | 11 For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say to him, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I can't; it is sealed." |
12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot read." | 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I don't know how to read." |
13 And the Lord said: "Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, | 13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. |
14 therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden." | 14 Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish." |
15 Ah, you who hide deep from the LORD your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?" | 15 Woe to those who go to great depths to hide their plans from the LORD, who do their work in darkness and think, "Who sees us? Who will know?" |
16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? | 16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"? |
17 Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest? | 17 In a very short time, will not Lebanon be turned into a fertile field and the fertile field seem like a forest? |
18 In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. | 18 In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. |
19 The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. | 19 Once more the humble will rejoice in the LORD; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. |
20 For the ruthless shall come to nothing and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off, | 20 The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down-- |
21 who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right. | 21 those who with a word make a man out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice. |
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale. | 22 Therefore this is what the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, says to the house of Jacob: "No longer will Jacob be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale. |
23 For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. | 23 When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. |
24 And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction." | 24 Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction." |

Part 1
The stranger came into the restaurant, inquiring about the Starchild again. His attire was simple, but elegant. Soraka always welcomed everyone who wished to find her, but there was something about this man that made the Starchilds guardian pause. Occasionally when she looked over, she could swear his eyes were glowing red, but as soon as she looked again they were back to normal. It was not much more than a hunch, but it was enough to keep the Starchilds guardian wary of the stranger.
The entire restaurant fell silent as he slammed his hands down on the counter top. Dammit! Ive had enough of this! My friend needs help, and the Starchild could help her. Why does she refuse? The mans tone started angry, but grew pleading as he went on, and the Will of the Blades was intrigued. She stood up, revealing sleek armor. It was colored red and white and had an odd attachment at the back. There was a seemingly ornamental contraption connected to her shoulder plates. Four blades hung from it, each looking sharp and deadly.
Everyone in the establishment watched the woman walk up to the stranger who had been demanding to see the Starchild. She paced her steps deliberately, attempting to get a measure of the man in case trouble broke out. Who are you stranger? Why do you seek our healer? She looked him directly in the eyes, unsure whether she wanted to see what she was looking for.
I am here because my friend is close to death. I had to perform some
He paused, clearly looking for the right words. creative magic to heal her. Unfortunately, it was not enough to restore her completely and Ive heard that the Starchild can bring people back from the brink of death. Please, if you can, help me. He looked entirely sincere, and she did not sense he was lying to her, but decided to give him one last test.
Im afraid you cannot see her now. Come back in a few days and Ill consider bringing you to her. There it was. His eyes flashed red for a moment before he took a deep breath. She prepared herself for the attack, but it never came. He hung his head and said, Then Im afraid my friend is simply lost. With that, he turned away and walked out of the restaurant. Irelia was surprised and quickly ran after him. She caught up to him as they stepped outside. Who are you stranger? She asked for the second time.
He looked surprised and turned around, I am a humble traveler who is concerned for his friend. The woman looked around at her homeland; she saw the beauty of the pink blossoms in the trees all around, the green grass beneath their feet. The restaurant behind them was made from the wood of trees that shed their bark every season, leaving as small of an impact on the environment as possible. Seeing her homeland reminded her that she should help all those who were in need.
I apologize. I am Irelia, Will of the Blades. I can take your friend to see the Starchild right away. Please, tell me your name first. She held out her hand and the man hesitated a moment before shaking it. I am Vladimir, the Crimson Reaper. I come from Noxus, but as an outcast, not an invader. She momentarily gripped his hand harder, but quickly released it. Being Noxian didnt necessarily mean he was evil. I will ask no more for now, but I am interested as to how you came to be in our lands.
He nodded and said, My friend is back at the inn just a mile south of here. What should I do? Irelia regarded him and told him, Bring your friend to the temple just north of this restaurant. There is a nexus there and I will bring Soraka to you by nightfall. The man nodded and thanked her profusely before rushing away. Irelia was intrigued by this man. It was not often that people met a Noxian who showed compassion for others.
Irelia began to trek northwards, knowing shed need to travel several miles north of the temple to get to the main city of Ionia. The temple she was sending Vladimir to was the Placidium, which housed the School of Transcendentalism. Soraka was on the board of regents for the school and it produced many of Ionias greatest thinkers and philosophers. The nexus it housed was the most powerful in the entire city state, and when used to channel Sorakas healing arts it could perform miracles.
Irelia briefly thought back to the moment when she had been on the precipice of death and Soraka saved her using this exact Nexus. An unexpected side effect of the powerful energies had bound Irelias blades to her. She now controlled them as easily as if they were her own limbs. Absorbed in her memories, she paid no attention to the beautiful scenes around her. The mountains in front of her loomed high, with several cliff faces creating brilliant waterfalls. The temple itself was set in the mountain and had fascinating architecture heavily utilizing gems.
Irelia had seen all this before, and passed it by without paying much attention, skirting around the bottom of the mountain towards the city on the far side. The walk was uneventful, but for some reason she felt uneasy. As she approached the outskirts of the town the feeling deepened. She began to proceed cautiously as she walked down an alleyway. She heard voices around the corner and couldnt make out what they said at first. She slowly came closer and heard, -ats too bad. I guess well just have to take it by force.
Concerned, Irelia immediately decided to take action and revealed herself. Stepping around the corner she saw two men standing over a cowering woman. Before any of the three could react, Irelias blades sprung to life off her shoulder plate. Hovering in front of her, the four blades created an x, connected at the middle by a red glowing circle. She sprang forward, striking the first man dead, impaling his chest with ease. The second was groping inside his jacket for something, but Irelia quickly slashed across and his head went rolling down the alley. She stooped over to examine what he had been grabbing when she heard glass breaking behind her.
She quickly looked up and saw a hooded figure run away from the window above. Irelia was about to give chase when she noticed a greenish gas rising from the broken bottle on the floor. Almost immediately, her knees felt weak. She attempted to keep herself up against the wall, but her hands would not listen to her minds commands. She slumped against the wall and her head hit the ground with a crack.
Feeling somewhat delirious from both the gas and the head injury, she couldnt help but think that the hooded figures mouth had looked funny wrapped in rags. She wondered briefly if he had been a walking mummy before closing her eyes and surrendering to the darkness.
Here's Part 1 of Part 3 of the whole over-arcing series lol . Enjoy
Part 2
His head was on a swivel, taking in all of his surroundings. He had just arrived at the base of the mountain, carrying Riven on his shoulders, her body draped around him like a shawl. It was not the most graceful way to carry her, but it was certainly the most effective. He figured she'd understand even if she woke up a little bruised. He was not wearing his Crimson Elite armor, figuring that would make him stand out in a crowd. He simply wore a red tunic with silver buckles, on top of crimson and white streaked pants. His boots crunched loudly on the ground beneath him.
It had just reached twilight, and the sun sent an orange glow cascading over the mountainside. As he trekked up the mountain towards the temple, his thoughts strayed towards his journey to this place. He had left Noxus in a hurry, and after taking Riven to his home he had hastened to Ionia. The trip proved uneventful, which Vlad had been thankful for. He'd gotten several weird looks hauling around a woman with him, but no one seemed to want to ask. He'd hitched a ride on a fishing boat and set off for the capital.
Upon arriving on the outskirts, he'd been told to ask at that restaurant about Soraka. His advances had been rebuffed for weeks before earlier today when he snapped. He was glad he did, and he was intrigued by this Irelia he had just met. He had felt her blood pulsing through her body and felt intoxicated by her vitality. There was something unusual about her, 'Plus,' he admitted to himself, 'She was easy on the eyes.'
He shook off the thought and focused on the matter at hand. He saw the waterfalls off to the side and admitted that Ionia was a beautiful place. He felt peaceful here, something he'd never felt before. Reaching the temple door, Vlad stepped in and froze. There was a musty quality to the air, and it didn't feel right. He gently lay Riven down against the side of the door and ventured forward. The room was dark and Vlad's sense of foreboding grew.
He opened all of his senses and could find no fresh blood in this place. He continued forward cautiously, keeping an eye out for anything unusual when he stumbled slightly. Looking down, he saw the corpses of five priests, all with the same slightly consternated look on their faces. He quickly turned and began to walk back to the entrance. This did not look good for him. He grabbed Riven and quickly slung her over his shoulders again.
"Hey, you there, stop!" A voice cried out from behind him and he began to run. Bursting out the front door, he began sprinting down the mountain as fast as he could. 'I really need to establish a blood rune network,' he thought to himself wistfully. He could not hear any pursuers, but he didn't stop until he reached the base of the mountain. He slowed down just enough to check over his shoulders and didn't see anyone.
He walked briskly, heading back to the inn. Contemplating what this all meant, he knew he was in trouble. He was a Noxian in Ionia, shortly after the Noxian invasion ended. He had shown up at their most sacred temple and found bodies there. Yes, he was in trouble. Upon reaching the inn, he opened the doors and nearly dropped Riven. Sitting there at the table was Singed, the Mad Chemist of Zaun. His mouth was covered in rags, as always, and his shield was propped up against the table. Vladimir didn't see his trademark bottle anywhere, but remained wary nonetheless.
"Ahh, Vladimir, I presume? I was hoping I might find you here. Come, sit down and have a drink with me." Singed said in his deep, hypnotic voice. Vlad looked disgusted and said to him, "I'll stay here, thanks." His blood was boiling with hatred. Riven had told him during one of their nights together about this monster. He had been the one to send the chemical attack that had decimated Riven's unit and begun her exile. Vladimir hated this man with every fiber of his being.
"I'm very sorry to hear that Vladimir." He stood up, and calmly picked up his shield. Vlad set Riven down by the door and realized that he was making things very dangerous for her. "How about you and I take a walk then? We can discuss why you've been looking for me and why you've come here." Singed chuckled and said, "No, I don't believe I'll be doing that." He made a sudden lunge toward Riven on the ground and Vlad shouted.
Before he had time to think he was already firing a projectile of his own blood and it burned the flesh on the back of Singed's head. The Mad Chemist let out an odd gasping sound and Vlad used a torrent of blood to draw Riven to him. As soon as he had her he flung her onto his shoulders yet again and sprinted out the door. Thinking through his options while he ran, he decided he would go back to the temple. Hopefully, if he explained himself, they'd see reason and know that Singed being here was not a good sign.
'The Ionians are famed for their higher learning,' He thought to himself. 'Hopefully their compassion and intelligence lives up to its billing.'
These come out a day earlier on the website, so go there if you're itching for more xD.
Part 3
He charged up the steps for the second time in the last day. As he neared the top, he saw guards posted outside this time. His shoulders had begun to ache from carrying Riven, but he didn't feel safe leaving her anywhere. He slowed to walk and the guards called out, "You there, this area is closed. What is your business here?" Vlad hesitated for a moment, knowing his plan could backfire. After taking a deep breath he said, "I believe I have information about the temple's attackers. Please let me in."
The guard narrowed his eyes and his partner leaned over to say something quietly to him. Vlad felt tense, not liking their reaction. He began to back away slowly when the guard yelled "Don't even bother. We have men stationed at the bottom. Now, our Duchess would like to see you." Vladimir considered running for a moment, but knew he would not have the energy thanks to Riven. He walked up slowly and the guards pointed their pikes at him.
The doors opened behind them and they marched him in, always looking ready to strike. The chamber was well lit, and Vlad's breath was taken away by its beauty. The room glittered with gems placed throughout and the sparse furniture was all a dark colored wood. Standing in the middle of the room was a severe looking woman dressed in an elegant black gown. Her headdress held her dark hair up in a bun and two unusual looking fans swayed at her side.
Vladimir walked up to her and bowed, attempting to be formal, but as soon as he took his eyes off her he was smacked by the flat side of a pike blade. He fell to his knees and dropped Riven over his head. She hit the ground with a thump and he felt a tinge of guilt, but knew there was nothing he could do about it now. He waited until he was addressed, thinking this woman looked like someone not to be trifled with.
She gazed down on him with obvious dislike, and Vladimir did not like the situation. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" The woman's voice was regal, but cold. Vladimir answered "I am Vladimir. I met Irelia earlier today at a restaurant south of here. She told me to meet her here so I could have my friend healed by the Starchild. When I came here earlier, I saw the bodies of several people lying in this chamber." He stopped for a moment, knowing this would sound bad, but opted to tell the truth anyway. "I ran because I did not think it would wise of me to be found in such a spot."
The Duchess had kept her face impassive throughout his tale, but now broke out into a harsh looking smile. Vladimir was concerned about her expression. He had heard the Ionians were enlightened and open-minded. This Ionian leader seemed cruel and calculating. "If that is true, why do you come back to us now? Have a change of heart, Noxian?" Her smile became triumphant and Vlad knew he did not have much chance.
"I came back because I found a Zaunite general back at the inn where I was staying. I wanted to come warn you. Please, you must believe me. Find Irelia and she'll tell you!" The Duchess looked as though she had won another victory and Vlad's heart sank further. "Irelia was found attacked and unconscious earlier this afternoon. I think it was you who attacked her." Vlad immediately asked, "Is she alrgiht?" The Duchess did not answer and merely said, "We have no time for the trouble you bring Noxian. Your people are no longer at war with us thanks to your new leader Talon. You cretins should all follow his example."
With that she began to walk away. On her way out she paused by the back door to relay a command to the guards. She walked out the door gracefully and Vlad knew he was in trouble. He was planning how to disable his guards when one of them suddenly pressed his pike to Riven's throat. "You try anything buddy, and she dies. You got it?" Vlad nodded meekly, his anger rising inside of him. "Good. We're taking you to a prison outside of town. Any trouble at all on the way and we've got orders to execute your friend first, then you."
They left the temple together with Vlad leading and five guards surrounding Riven. The Duchess had clearly sensed that he was more concerned for her life than his own. They marched straight on through the night. There had been no moon that night, so the way was very dark. There wasn't much Vlad could see beyond the trail directly in front of him, so he stayed on it. Just as the first touch of color was returning to the sky, a large building loomed before them.
Every building he had seen in Ionia so far had been very aesthetically pleasing. This building was a lump of concrete that had been built without beauty in mind. At the gate, Vlad was handed off to the new guards. He waited for them to hand over Riven, but the five guards who had traveled with him turned away and carried her with them. "Where are you going with her?" Vlad demanded with a shout. They did not respond and he was preparing to attack when he felt a pain behind his right ear. He went down and got smashed again in the head before blacking out.
He woke up inside of a dark windowless cell. There was a dim torchlight in the hallways, but it only served to give the entire room an eerie glow. Vlad looked around attempting to get his bearings, but realized he couldn't see much. He sat up and realized he sensed another's blood in the cell with him. "Hello? Who's there?" Vlad called out to the darkness. A voice from the far corner replied "You have nothing to fear from me. I can tell you are a kind soul, and are here because of something you did not do."
Vlad was leery of trusting someone in a prison cell, but assumed it could not hurt to just speak. "I am a visitor from Noxus, and during these times I'm not trusted because of it. Why are you here stranger?" The voice chuckled and said, "I am here because I spoke out against the Noxian occupation before they backed off. When it came time for me to be released, someone higher up said no and I was put back here without a trial."
Though this didn't sound like the Ionia he'd heard of for many years, although it did sync up with the events of the last day. "It would appear something is very rotten in Ionia," Vlad said quietly. "Worry not," came the voice from the shadows. "I believe that you are already forming a plan to escape. I'd like to help." Vlad was taken aback at how sharp this fellow was. "Actually, I already have a guaranteed method of escape, though you will likely find it morbid and gruesome."
He didn't know why he was saying this, but for some reason, he trusted the man already. "I will need you to help me grab a guard's attention. I need blood for this to work." The two spoke in hushed tones, hashing out a plan for half an hour before they were satisfied. "I have abilities that they've likely only heard of in their nightmares," Vlad said. "Let's use it to our advantage."
The man began by yelling out that his cellmate was bleeding. Vlad lay on the ground and allowed blood to seep from his pores, creating the illusion of injury. The guards came rushing down and as soon as they got there, Vlad forcefully absorbed their blood into his. They fell to the ground dead and Vlad formed blood runes on either side of the cell door. "Now, this may be a little unsettling," He warned his new companion.
Vlad gathered the blood from the runes back into his body, knowing he'd not need them again. They ran down the hallways of the prison, with Vlad clearing the path in front of them rather easily. He had known he could do this, but didn't want to risk it with Riven's life in the balance. At this point, he had no control over it and gave in to his bloodlust. By the time they reached the wall of the prison, Vlad was controlling a large orb of blood that did not belong to him.
He was debating how best to handle this when his new friend stepped forward and said, "May I?" Vlad nodded and watched as the stranger threw a different ball of energy into the excess blood. It began to glow and pulse before his partner kicked the sphere into the wall in front of them. It exploded with a powerful force and a gaping hole was left in its place. Impressed, Vlad rushed through with him and they found themselves on the edge of a forest.
Charging in, Vlad took stock of his companion for the first time. He was a powerfully built man wearing nothing but the tattered remains of black pants. His hair that had grown so long it covered his eyes. A large tiger tattoo adorned each shoulder, and he ran with a grace that suggested martial arts training. They ran for a long time, changing directions randomly in the forest until they came across a clearing. The sun was burning brightly overhead, and they stopped to rest.
"So, what's your name partner? I'm Vladimir." The stranger smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you Vladimir. I'm Lee Sin."
And Ahloso, I missed you! Your comments let me know someone was reading them xD.
Part 4
Irelia woke up with a pounding in her head. She looked around and saw she was in a room inside of the Placidium. Soraka, the Starchild, was sitting in the far corner washing rags in a bucket. She must have heard Irelia rustling, because she looked up and smiled. "Welcome back Irelia. How are you feeling?" Irelia sat up on the edge of the bed and said, "Awful. My head is aching like none other. What happened?" Soraka looked surprised, "You mean you don't remember?"
Irelia tried to remember what happened to her before she drifted off. She vaguely remembered being in alleyway, although she couldn't figure out why. There had been men there, and a flash of bandages. "Soraka!" She exclaimed quickly. "I think Singed is here in Ionia!" Soraka's eyes began searching hers, attempting to find the truth. "That is interesting you should say that. Another man claiming to know you said the same thing. He said that he had seen Singed at roughly the same time as your attack, but several miles south."
Irelia was surprised and said, "Vladimir?" Soraka's face gave nothing away but she said, "So you do know him?" "Yes," said Irelia, "We met at the restaurant just south of here because he was looking for you. He said he needed you to heal his friend, that conventional medicine would not work." Soraka looked grave and said, "So you trust this man?" Irelia considered her words before replying, "Yes. I don't know why, but there's something about him that seems very sincere."
Soraka breathed heavily and filled Irelia in on what had happened since she'd been attacked. Irelia grew angry when she heard of the Duchess's treatment of Vladimir. "What is wrong with her lately? Karma was quite a benevolent ruler at first, but she's practically turned us into a military state in recent weeks." She thought about it, "How long have I been out?" Soraka laughed and said, "Three days. You had me worried there for a bit, but I know how much it takes to get you. As long as I'm around you're not going down without a fight."
Irelia smiled but thought of the implications. It was clear something was happening in Ionia. Soraka interrupted her musings, "When you're ready the Duchess would like to see you. Well, she'd like to see you the second you woke up, but I figured you'd like a minute." Irelia laughed softly and was glad she had a friend like Soraka. "I'll see her now. Is she in the inner sanctum?" Soraka nodded and Irelia left the room.
Irelia traveled through the temple at a quick pace, wishing to get her meeting with the Duchess out of the way. She had felt uneasy around the leader lately and didn't want to be alone with her. She reached the double doors that led into the inner sanctum and took a deep breath, preparing herself for the confrontation.
She walked in and saw Karma in front of the Nexus. This was the most powerful Nexus in all of Ionia, and was the reason the Placidium was located here. It channeled magical energy whenever it was cast and made it stronger. Karma turned around and said, "Irelia, so glad you're ok. Tell me what happened." Irelia gave her a shortened version of events but when she got to the part about Singed, Karma scoffed. "Oh yes, that man tried to say the same thing. That is unimportant right now. There have been disturbances to the north lately. I need you to go and take charge of the area; find out what's happening."
She paused for a moment before saying, "Irelia, I'm sending you because you are one of our finest warriors, do not make me regret this. You will find Master Yi in command and you are to follow his orders. If things seem out of place, I want you to take control." Irelia was aghast, but as she was about to speak Karma said, "I have no time for this, you leave at once."
Irelia, feeling uneasy, bowed to the Duchess and left the room. She had a terrible feeling about the direction Ionia was headed, and couldn't do anything to stop it. 'At least,' she thought, 'I'll get some action shortly.'

Been going strong for 2 years now, so no problems. We even used the Skype SDK to modify the Horde IM's to display in red and the Alliance IMs in light blue.

Important Information >>
These offerings from Gorilla Glue bring a couple very useful bonding agents to woodworkers. They aren't intended to replace wood glues in the shop, but having an epoxy and a superglue (cyanoacrylate/CA) in your toolbox is invaluable when you need them.Epoxies have been around for a long time. Modern boat builders have used them extensively because of their water-resistance and strength. In the shop, a small bottle of epoxy is useful for quick repairs and gap filling. Gorilla Epoxy is perfect for gluing joints or parts where the gap exceeds the thickness of a sheet of paper. It's also useful in multi-material pieces, as it bonds wood, steel, aluminum and ceramic among others. The resin and hardener epoxy have similar viscosities, which makes using the syringe dispenser for even and exact application of the epoxy easy.Gorilla Super Glue is quick curing (30-60 seconds) and useful in precision gluing applications. Unlike traditional super glues, this one is impact resistant (small rubber particles are mixed in with the glue), which come in handy when mending a handle or part that's likely to be exposed to vibration or other abuse. It's thicker consistency gives more control in application and spreads evenly with a short five to 10 minute clamping time. It doesn't run on vertical surfaces, making it useful for a variety of repair applications, like gluing down loose veneer or quickly bonding broken trim work.Source: Gorilla Glue, www.gorillaglue.com, (800) 966-3458, Epoxy, $5.99, Super Glue, $4.99.

TUCSON - About five to 15 Central American immigrants are still passing through Tucson every day, according to Mike Gutierrez with Catholic Community Services.
Gutierrez is the volunteer coordinator taking care of donations made to the families. He said the office still receives a steady flow of supplies.
"What I see is a great response from the community and the needs for these women and children," Gutierrez said as he looked at a room full of food and toiletry items.
ICE does not drop the immigrants at the Downtown Greyhound station anymore. They are dropped off at an undisclosed location where Catholic Community Services provides assistance. They only stay a few hours and rarely spend the night. Then the nonprofit gives them a ride to the bus station, according to Gutierrez.
Laura Aldag brought bags of items to the CCS office on Speedway Boulevard Friday afternoon. Her congregation, Saint Francis in the Foothills United Methodist Church, gathered the items.
"They've been saddened to hear that all these women and children are arriving in our community and being left at the bus stop without any resources," Aldag said. "They've been motivated to try to do what they can to help.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief has given Saint Francis Church a $5,000 grant to help the families. They are still trying to figure out exactly how to use the money, according to Aldag.
Donations can be brought to the Catholic Community Services office at 140 West Speedway. People can also donate online by clicking this link.

review by Aaron T. Rex Pro
The Yellow Sea 2010
Aaron T. Rex's review:
Na Hong-jin's follow up to The Chaser tries hard but never reaches the heights of its predecessor. I was really looking forward to it because I absolutely loved The Chaser and luckily there are many similarities. The Yellow Sea is equally grounded in a Korean way and actually turns up the level of violence and blood quite a bit. Maybe even a little too much in fact.
The performances are of course fantastic. Ha Jung-woo is unrecognizable. Had to check before I could be sure he was the same guy who played a serial killer in The Chaser. What is missing though, is emotional connection. That would've lifted the film up to a top score.
5 Comments
Gonna have to check this out!
I think this review is spot on. The film never quite has the emotional intensity that The Chaser had, though I think that is down to the way Ha Jung-Woo chooses to portray his character (or perhaps it's down to Na Hong-Jin's direction) as a man so defeated and detached from society he's almost become emotionless. What made this film great for me was the patient way it built up in the first half; it is a slight shame that it then decides to crank up the action to such a level that it's almost flat-out from scene to scene, to the point where it gets repetitive, else I too would've given it a 5.
Agree completely. I could have done without the mafia-type boss dude and I wish there had been more focus on Kim Yun-seok.
Great review. Finally watched it tonight. It was also great seeing the two leads from The Chaser play completely different roles.
I agree completely. They were both so completely different.

My favorite pair of garden shoes is the same pair of tennis shoes that I wear everyday. They're old and beat up but they're comfortable. IF I had chickens, it would still probably be the same shoes I wear everyday. :) Rodney |
Favorite? None. No such thing as a "comfortable shoe". :) But I compromise when I half to and wear sandals. Dave |
Bare feet. Yes, my feet look like hell. Chicken run though...I'd have to do what rodney does and wear tennis shoes until feathers were showing in between my toes. Kevin |
My old Nikes - but they leak. Probably wear rubber boots in the chicken run and change once I'm done so don't track poop. |

Either my tivas or crocks. But with crocks, your feet don't sweat! They do get stuff trapped in them and you have to do the crock shake. They squeak when you get water in them, but they are the closest to being barefoot you can get! DO NOT get cheap fako's ! They are made of plastic and make your feet sweat! Crocks are made from a vegetable protein (Soy?) that doesn't make your feet sweat! BELEIVE ME! Until my DH started wearing them, we had a smelly house! BTW Woohooman, give your feet a soak in 1 part (dollar store) Listerine, 1 part vinegar and 2 parts HOT water, then scrub away with a grinder, or whatever you use on your summer feet, and everything will sluff off.....AND smell minty fresh! I do this about every 2 weeks when I have to go out in public! ;) It really works! Nancy |
I garden in my slippers! It's not intentional. It's that I'll walk out there in the morning with a cup of coffee--just to check things out--and, well, you know how it goes. A half hour later your coffee is sitting there cold while you're knee-deep in zucchini, picking pole beans or staking up tomatoes. I did at least get smart and start buying rubber soled slippers, heh. |
A friend gave me a pair of kayaking shoes her husband didn't want, probably because they look kind of girlish. I have big feet for a woman and he has small feet for a man so they are only slightly too big but can get wet. They have a Velcro strap across the instep so easy on and off and they are very flexible. They have enough of a sole that I can dig with a shovel but not so stiff they are uncomfortable for stoop labor. If I am doing simple weeding, I wear cheap flip flops. I'll have to try the Listerine soak. |
No chicken run here, so I just wear flip flops to garden. |
I use leather water-proof New Balance. They are wide, breathe OK - can wear them even in 90F weather. They also protect from wet grass in the morning or after rain. I do not need to tie them every time - can just slip in them. I don't have chicken run, but I compost strait horse manure, and to turn it I need to walk on it. I just hose it off the shoes later. |
It depend on WHEN > Early in the season, with rain, mud, .. I wear something water proof. Later on regular snickers. Now that there isn't much work to be done, sandals will do. How about bare foot sometimes ? |
Bogs boots in cold/wet weather. Orthaheel sandals in summer. Hiking shoes with custom orthotics in them for in between. For chicken run, Bogs makes the Urban Farmer "sandal" which is actually a crock-shaped slip on shoe that looks waterproof. I find Bogs have a very comfortable foot bed. Good luck! Feet gotta be happy. |

Constantly have on the low rubber mocs from LLBean. I'm usually in the garden for 2-3 hrs at a stretch though, not all day. DH wears NB sneakers bc there's not enough support in the rubber mocs for him. I really hate to get my feet wet or dirty, so I'm happy with the rubber. They do get warm in 90 degree temps, but in that kind of weather, I'm done with most of the hard work and not staying in the garden for long. |
I wear slip-on rubber gum/dairy boots. |
Birckenstocks for gardening - and most other activities. haha. They are incredibly comfortable, and you can get different styles that don't look so granola. You can also rinse them off and dry them in the sun. I've had the same pair since 2008 and am only considering getting a new pair this year. When I visit ppl with chickens, they have flip flops to wear in that area, so you don't track dirt in the house. |

A pair of New Balance 759 trail shoes that I waterproof. I use them for all my outdoor work - gardening, mowing, etc. They have great traction, are breathable, provide protection from shovels, hoes, mower engine heat, and protect my feet from nastiness. Do I end up with a noticable sock tan line? Yes! Is this better than possible injury? Yes! |

Natydoll...I also wore Birkies for YEARS! My hubby called them anti-rape devices! LOL I was in London during the late 70's at the Tate museum when a guy came up and said "Duuuuuuude, you from Northern California?" I affirmed and asked how he knew.....Birkies! They were only made in N cal in those days! I've switched to the "new" anti rape devices......Crocks! ;) Nancy |
I have a pair of random shoes that look like sloggers, sort of, but the upper was cloth. Not hot, easy to slip on and off, and protect me from bees in the clover and chicken dits in the pen. Wish I could find another pair, these are about beat. |
I go through a pair of Easy Spirit Riptides every year. They are more secure than slip-ons and dry fast when they're wet. I'm on my third pair, and tho I'm a cheapskate I think they're worth the money. |

I live on an old farm and had the fear f tetanus (and getting stepped on by large animals) drilled into me, so I always wear shoes and socks. No animals now, but it's a habit. I find it hard to wear sandals. I usually wear a pair of cheap canvas slip ons. I like the ones I can order from Grasshoppers. Only problem is they don't fare well in the washing machine. |

I wear Crocs everywhere except in the garden. My number one boot is an Australian boot. They are easy on/off, good traction without too deep of tread, and rugged as the Outback. Although for now I use a pair with zippers because I found them at a thrift store new for $10.00. They are easy on/off and have a good solid arch for pushing in a shovel. The tread doesn't fill with mud and they've serviced me for a couple of years now. No laces for me ever again! |

Aili- Even in the spring when digging? I usually abandon my crocks when it's digging or emptying a truck of stuff. Nancy |
when it's warm and dry? whatever is on my feet really but i've altered my shoe collection to be garden-oriented at this point pretty much. ;) flipflops, soludos espadrilles (good price and comfy), clogs. for when i'm digging and getting muddy i've got a pair of croc boots that i love - so ridiculously comfy - don't get too hot, really soft, easy on and off and waterproof. i can't be bothered with anything that laces or zips anymore. ;) |
Here is a link that might be useful: croc rain boots
I wear crocs year-round in the garden. However, I live in the rainy Pacific NW, and am in search of a comfy, easily cleaned shoe that doesn't have holes in it (to keep the rain out) for winter gardening. If you don't deal with a lot of rain and mud, I highly recommend crocs. They're comfortable slip-ons, and so easy to keep clean! |

Muuuuust Haaaave croc booooooots! Unfortunately they only have size 4,5 and 6. Maybe they'll have more in the fall. Nancy |
"Muuuuust Haaaave croc booooooots!" lol yes they are the best. maybe try amazon or zappos? i'm sure they'll stock up for fall too. ;) |

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. | 1 When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, |
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. | 2 and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. |
3 And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. | 3 He told them: "Take nothing for the journey--no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. |
4 And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there and depart not from thence. | 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. |
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them. | 5 If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them." |
6 And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where. | 6 So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere. |
7 Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said | 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was going on. And he was perplexed, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, |
8 By some that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. | 8 others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. |
9 And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. | 9 But Herod said, "I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?" And he tried to see him. |
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida. | 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, |
11 Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing. | 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. |
12 Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place. | 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here." |
13 But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude. | 13 He replied, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish--unless we go and buy food for all this crowd." |
14 Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company. | 14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." |
15 And they did so and made them all sit down. | 15 The disciples did so, and everybody sat down. |
16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude. | 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. |
17 And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets. | 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. |
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am? | 18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?" |
19 But they answered and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias: and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again. | 19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life." |
20 And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God. | 20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God." |
21 But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man. | 21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. |
22 Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes and be killed and the third day rise again. | 22 And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." |
23 And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. | 23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. |
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: for he that shall lose his life for my sake shall save it. | 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. |
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world and lose himself and cast away himself? | 25 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self ? |
26 For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy angels. | 26 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. |
27 But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God. | 27 I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God." |
28 And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray. | 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. |
29 And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and his raiment became white and glittering. | 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. |
30 And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias, | 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, |
31 Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem. | 31 appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. |
32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him. | 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. |
33 And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses; and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. | 33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." (He did not know what he was saying.) |
34 And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them. And they were afraid when they entered into the cloud. | 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. |
35 And a voice came out of the cloud; saying: This is my beloved son. Hear him. | 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him." |
36 And whilst the voice was uttered Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen. | 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves, and told no one at that time what they had seen. |
37 And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude. | 37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. |
38 And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one. | 38 A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. |
39 And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him. | 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. |
40 And I desired thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not. | 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not." |
41 And Jesus, answering:, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son. | 41 "O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here." |
42 And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down and tore him. | 42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. |
43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and restored him to his father. | 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, |
44 And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. | 44 "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men." |
45 But they understood not this word: and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word. | 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. |
46 And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. | 46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. |
47 But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and set him by him, | 47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. |
48 And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. | 48 Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." |
49 And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. | 49 "Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." |
50 And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you. | 50 "Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you." |
51 And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. | 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. |
52 And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. | 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; |
53 And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem. | 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. |
54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them? | 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?" |
55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are. | 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them, |
56 The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town. | 56 and they went to another village. |
57 And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. | 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." |
58 Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. | 58 Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." |
59 But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father. | 59 He said to another man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." |
60 And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. | 60 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." |
61 And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. | 61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family." |
62 Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. | 62 Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." |

My mums are starting to bloom. Last year, I cut them back (like we always did in WV), but I had to cut them back two or three times during the summer. Do you cut yours back before they bloom, or do you get two bloom times out of them? I'm still trying to adjust to the longer season here. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The blooming time of some plants, including mums, is determined by the length of daylight hours. Due to our mild temperatures this encourages both a spring and fall bloom when the required light conditions are present. After the spring bloom is a good time to cut mums back and divide them if necessary. |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Fri, May 15, 09 at 13:05
Wow, I didn't know that about mums. Thanks for the info. I always thought they bloomed only once in the Spring/early summer here or you could start cutting them back through the year to delay bloom til' late summer/Fall. Didn't know they might bloom twice if left alone. My problem is some of the varieties I have get too lanky if you don't cut them back a few times. I love 'Ryan's Pink' but it will flop over if not trimmed. Danielle |
If you allow them to bloom now. Make sure you cut them back around or before the fourth of July again for fall blooms. |

Help! A couple of days ago, I repotted Irish Iridescence. I took it out of its pot, gently scraped the outside of the stem that had been above the potting mix, cut off the bottom 1/3 of the root ball and replaced it back into the pot. I added potting mix to cover the stem close to the bottom row of leaves. I sprayed the plant to clean it off, and some water got into the pot, which I thought nothing of, since the new potting mix was dry. The next morning and today, the bottom row of leaves are very limp. The others are okay. What happened? What did I do wrong? I've repotted other plants similarly, with no problem, but I think this is the first time I scraped the outside of the stem that was sticking up above the potting mix. Could it be root rot from too much water? Would that have shown up so fast? Is it shock from cutting off too much of the root ball? What to do? This is one of my favorite plants - a constant bloomer and very pretty. Thanks.

Don't worry, Judy. You did exactly right. The plant is suffering from shock. A plastic bag over the whole plant will give it humidity and will probably bring those leaves back into health. Nancy |
- Posted by fred_hill (email@example.com) on Sun, Oct 28, 07 at 17:19
Hi Judy, If you have a violet ring to support the drooping leaves it might help a bit other than that you seem to bave done the right thing. You said when you repotted that the mix was dry. Did you sit the pot in water for a few minutes to dampen the mix? Fred in NJ |
Nancy and Fred, Thanks for your posts. I am relieved that I will probably not lose the plant. Fred, I did not sit the pot in water to dampen the mix. The 2/3 of the root ball still attached to the plant was already damp when I added dry mix. When I sprayed the plant to clean it up, some of the water got into the pot and dampened the new potting mix. Should I have done something different? Judy |

North Korea might really be serious about developing nuclear missiles after announcing the detonation of their third weapon. Seismologists confirmed the test. Supposedly, the device was physically smaller than the previous weapons, but the same yield.
The danger now, in conjunction with their missile program, is that the DPRK will achieve a nuclear ICBM and destabilize the entire region.
The only measures now that are likely to stop them are cooperation from China and inspections of North Korean maritime trade. Neither is likely to happen.

Now that Christmas is over I have a few questions about baking:
Firstly, I found a chiffon cake recipe here, got one from my sister-in-law, and found one in Joy of cooking. They were more or less the same and had the same directions: use an ungreased, clean pan for the batter, and hang the pan upside down after baking. I had an almost-new, non-stick bundt pan, followed the directions, and could not get the cake out of the pan. I ended up serving it out of the pan. Can anyone tell me why it must be clean and un-greased? And why do you need to hang the cake upside down after baking? Has anyone ever been able to get a chiffon cake out of the pan cleanly? I would imagine a greased, floured pan would work, but what do I know? Secondly, I have been baking chocolate cup-cakes for my son for several years and cannot seem to find a nice moist result. The one I have been using recently only partly works if I double the baking powder. It is called chocolate pound cake, called for a loaf pan, but I use it in cup cake paper cups. This year I followed the recipe to a 'T', but it turned out to be very doughy and sort of dry, so I came on this forum and found the chiffon chocolate cake recipe, which I think would have a great taste and texture, but would we be able to peel the paper cups off cleanly to get the cupcakes out? Has anyone ever done this? Just planning for next year, and still looking for a nice moist chocolate cake. BTW, the mayonnaise cake is awful. Thanks ladies.

You probably should have used a 2-piece tube pan which is different from a bundt pan. After the cake is baked in the tube pan & inverted to cool, you run a thin knife or spatula around the edges & the cake comes out when you push the bottom up. |

Here's a good chocolate cupcake recipe: KILLER CUPCAKES (makes 20-22) Preheat oven to 350°. Line standard muffin tins w/paper cupcake liners. In the top part of a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate w/the vanilla & butter. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until thick & add the sugar. Beat in the flour. Fold in the butter-chocolate mixture. Spoon into the prepared tins, filling the cups 2/3 full. Filling: Mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg & salt until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop a rounded teaspoon of filling onto the top of each cupcake. Bake 30 minutes.~~ San Francisco Encore |

Northerner -- My understanding of why you are supposed to use a clean ungreased pan for a chiffon cake is that the egg whites provide the loft for the cake, and the batter needs to be able to cling to the sides of the pan as it rises in order to maintain that loft. I agree with ginger-st-thomas that most chiffon cakes are designed to be made in a tube pan... That said, I've made a chiffon cake in a tube pan and never was particularly happy with the way it came out of the pan -- even running the knife as closely to the pan as possible, the sides wound up looking ragged to me... I guess that just calls for frosting! :-) I would *not* think that a chocolate chiffon cake would come away from cupcake liners cleanly, just as it doesn't really come away from pans cleanly... |

thank you ladies. Yes,Ginger, I did use a Bundt pan which I bought in preference of a 2-piece tube pan when I was replacing my one piece tube pan. I could see how that would help. Thank you also for the recipe. I will try it, but without the filling, so my son can do his own icing with sprinkles, etc. Fearlessem: thanks for that very scientific explanation of the use of the un-greased pan (I am a science major myself), and that also explains why it's not a good candidate for cup cakes. You have solved both my problems.Now I am set for next Christmas. Happy baking!! |

Thank you so much for this recipe,Fearlessem. I was little bit intimidated by the amount of butter in the Killer Cupcakes, so I prefer the oil and butter milk in this one. And the one-bowl aspect is awesome!! Looks like I'll be having chocolate cupcakes before next Christmas. I'll let you know how it turns out. Northerner. |

Berlin: Germany is likely to taste the benefits of Islamic Finance as Bank Kuveyt Türk, based in Istanbul, is planning to set up the first Islamic bank in the country next year to tap into a potential market of more than four million Muslims.
According to an official at the German branch of Kuveyt Türk, majority-owned by Kuwait Finance House, the bank is preparing its application for official approval from the German government.
The official said, "We haven't issued a statement on that because we're not in a position to while the license is being worked on. We will release a statement only when we get the license."
According to media reports, the bank will file its request to the German financial regulatory authority, BaFin, in October this year.
The new bank would be based in Frankfurt, Germany's financial capital, and it would open further branches in cities with large Muslim populations such as Berlin, the reports said.
Islamic banking carries out financial business in accordance with Shariah law, which prohibits charging interest or providing deposit insurance for clients. In addition, Islamic banks cannot invest in certain types of assets, such as firms that produce alcohol, process pork or engage in gambling or have a large percentage of borrowed capital. The sector is enjoying rapid growth in the Muslim world but is still in its infancy in much of Europe. Islamic banking has been available since 2004 in Britain, which now has five full Islamic banks and more than 20 conventional banks offering Islamic finance.
Zaid El Mogaddedi, the Managing Director of the Institute for Islamic Banking and Finance, based in Frankfurt, has estimated that the market potential for new business in Islamic financial products in Germany amounts to €1.2 billion per year.
Attempts to offer Islamic financial products in the past have failed due to a lack of demand. Commerzbank launched a Shariah-compliant investment bank in 2005 but has since closed it down. An Islamic fund set up in 2010 by Meridio, an asset management firm, was dissolved prematurely.
Not even Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, which has its own unit catering for some 380,000 customers of Turkish origin, has set up Islamic finance products. "There is virtually no demand for it," the bank said.
Islamic finance took off in the 1970s in the wake of the oil price boom that gave Muslim oil producers a windfall of cash to invest. It has been expanding rapidly in recent years.
The UK Islamic Finance Secretariat estimates the global market for Islamic financial services reached $1.13 trillion at the end of 2010, 21 percent up from 2009, and is likely to have grown a further 14 percent last year. But that still amounts to just 1 percent of the global financial market.
The largest centers remain concentrated in Malaysia and the Middle East, including countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
