Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Hear the LORD's word, people of Israel; for the LORD has a dispute with the inhabitants of the land. There's no faithful love or loyalty, and no knowledge of God in the land. | 1 Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. |
2 Swearing, lying, murder, together with stealing and adultery are common; bloody crime followed by bloody crime. | 2 There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. |
3 Therefore, the earth itself becomes sick, and all who live on it grow weak; together with the wild animals and the birds in the sky, even the fish of the sea are dying. | 3 Because of this the land mourns, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the fish of the sea are dying. |
4 Yet let no one protest, and let no one complain. Listen, priest, I am angry with your people. | 4 "But let no man bring a charge, let no man accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest. |
5 You will stumble by day; and at nighttime so will your prophet, and I will destroy your mother. | 5 You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother-- |
6 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, so I will reject you from serving me as a priest. Since you have forgotten the Instruction of your God, so also I will forget your children. | 6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. |
7 The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their glory for shame. | 7 The more the priests increased, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their Glory for something disgraceful. |
8 They feed on the sin of my people; they set their hearts on evil things. | 8 They feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness. |
9 The priest will be just like the people; I will punish them for their ways, and judge them for their deeds. | 9 And it will be: Like people, like priests. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds. |
10 They will eat but not be satisfied; they will have sex like prostitutes, but they will not have children, because they have rejected the LORD to devote themselves to | 10 "They will eat but not have enough; they will engage in prostitution but not increase, because they have deserted the LORD to give themselves |
11 false religious practices. Wine and new wine destroy understanding. | 11 to prostitution, to old wine and new, which take away the understanding |
12 My people take advice from a piece of wood, and their divining rod gives them predictions. A spirit of prostitution has led them astray; they have left God to follow other gods. | 12 of my people. They consult a wooden idol and are answered by a stick of wood. A spirit of prostitution leads them astray; they are unfaithful to their God. |
13 They offer sacrifices on mountaintops, and make entirely burned offerings on hills; they offer sacrifices under various green trees, because their shade is pleasant. Therefore, your daughters act like prostitutes, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. | 13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar and terebinth, where the shade is pleasant. Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery. |
14 I will not punish your daughters because they act like prostitutes, nor your daughters-in-law because they commit adultery; for the men themselves visit prostitutes, and offer sacrifices with consecrated workers at temples; so now the people without sense must come to ruin. | 14 "I will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men themselves consort with harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes-- a people without understanding will come to ruin! |
15 Israel, even though you act like a prostitute, don't let Judah become guilty. Don't enter into Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, and don't swear, "As the LORD lives." | 15 "Though you commit adultery, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. "Do not go to Gilgal; do not go up to Beth Aven. And do not swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives!' |
16 Like a stubborn cow Israel is stubborn. Now the LORD will tend them, as the LORD tends a lamb in a pasture. | 16 The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs in a meadow? |
17 Ephraim is associated with idols— let him alone! | 17 Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! |
18 Though they have stopped drinking, they continue to behave like prostitutes; indeed, they "love"; shame is their pride. | 18 Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. |
19 The wind has wrapped her in its wings; they will be ashamed of their sacrifices. | 19 A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame. |

And we worry about gun violence. This device borders on the obscene in 21st century America.

If it really looks like a real weapon and you are carrying it around, you are likely to be shot by the cops. Also, isn't there some law on the books relating to replica weapons. If not, there should be.
May 18, 2013, 9:19 pm
What were they thinking?

What sort of comment is this?? What sort of law do you think there should be? Anyone walking around in public carrying this will likely invite attention from the authorities so is anything else needed? If you think this is bad, better not Google "airsoft" – you'll be very upset…
May 19, 2013, 4:44 pm
It comes with an orange tip just like all airsoft guns. If someone wants to be an idiot and run around pretending this is real, that's their problem. This is designed to be used it the home and I have no idea why someone would be walking around in public waving one around.
May 19, 2013, 7:43 pm
This is a controller designed to be used with *already existing* games. If you think this controller is a problem . . . I question your critical thinking skills.
Also, if you actually read the Kickstarter, you'd know that the final product will come with an orange tip on the barrel, OR you can get it in white, if you're that concerned about it.
I would really like to see The Gadgeteer just stop posting updates on things like this, or the Lego books with plans for building firearm replicas. I come here for gadgets, not politics.
May 23, 2013, 5:33 pm
@Larry, nice follow up. Some people take politics too far and don't see what's right in front of them, which is an awesome peripheral! By the way, the Delta Six has already gone over 100% funded! I'm in!
May 24, 2013, 12:03 pm
I find it funny that people bitch and moan about things like this and their kids or other kids. Look folks, this stuff is designed for people 16(18) or older. If you have kids using it then that is your job to put it in proper context. Don't go being a lazy douche of a parent and blame the game developer or in this case the delta six for things that you aren't taking initiative to do. Take some damn accountability.

Missing American Was Investigating Corruption In Iran
Monday, December 16, 2013
(Undated) -- More details are coming out in connection with an American who's been missing in Iran since 2007. A lawyer representing the family of Robert Levinson says Levinson was investigating corruption involving government officials when he disappeared. The ex-FBI agent was supposedly looking into allegations that Iranian government officials were diverting petroleum funds and laundering the money through Canada. Levinson's whereabouts are unknown and it's not certain if he is even still alive. A video released in 2011 shows Levinson pleading for help, but doesn't say who's holding him or where. It's not clear if he was working for the CIA or a private firm when he went to Iran.

In need of information about Chicago O'Hare Airport
Have finally booked our flights - flying with United from LHR to MCO through Chicago O'Hare. This is our 3rd DIY Holday and the 3rd time we've been through a different airport! We've done Washington Dulles with United and through Philly with US Airways.
We're landing at Terminal 5 at O'Hare and take off from Terminal 1. Have done a search and looking at the maps of the airport and can see they are connected with an ATS system. What is the proceedure when you land with baggage? Do you pick it up and drop it off again in terminal 5 and it makes its way to terminal 1 or do we have to pick up and take with us across the ATS and drop it off in terminal 1? How long does it take to go through customs? How long to get from terminal 5 to 1? We've got a 3hr 55min stopover. I know this is going to be long enough but I remember going through different terminals at philly airport that were next door to each other and it was a mad rush with 2 1/2 hours. O'Hare's terminals are further apart and are actually completely seperate. Any info greatfully received

A cold winter will likely delay the start of the Texas onion deal by up to two weeks.
Don Ed Holmes, owner of The Onion House LLC, Weslaco, Texas, moved to the Rio Grande Valley in 1977.
He remembers devastating freezes in 1983 and 1989, where temperatures got far lower than they have this winter. In fact, he can think of only one day this winter where temperatures dipped below freezing in valley onion fields.
But with the possible exception of a couple of years in the late 1970s, Holmes has a hard time remembering when temperatures were as consistently low as they've been this winter.
The average lows, he said, have been 10-12 degrees below normal.
"It doesn't hurt the crop," Holmes said. "They're dormant anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's 60 or 40."
While quality isn't an issue, timing is, he said. In a typical year, temperatures tick up about mid-January and onions really start growing.
Because of the cooler temps this year, the crop didn't really take off until about the week of Feb. 17, Holmes said.
Mirroring Mexico
Texas wasn't alone.
"Texas should mirror Mexico," Holmes said. "They're three or four weeks late."
Mexican onions began entering the market in mid-February, with Texas product expected to follow in early April.
Texas onions should ship through May this year, Holmes said.
While quality is expected to be good this year, yields will likely be below last season's very high per-acre numbers, Holmes said.
"Right now the plants appear to be healthy," Holmes said in mid-February. "It should be business as normal."
Michael Davis, co-owner of Tex-Mex Sales LLC, Weslaco, Texas, also expects a delay to the start of the Texas deal courtesy of Mother Nature.
Slow going
After a dry start to the season, followed by rains that, while welcome, also caused delays, combined with the cold, Texas growers have had theirs hands full, Davis said.
"It's been very cold all over the country and it's the same thing here," Davis said Feb. 14.
"It's been a fight this year. This is our first day close to 80 degrees in two months. It looks like we'll be behind a couple of weeks."
Harvest could start about March 8 and the first shipments follow about a week later, he said.
Early reports indicate good quality on the 2014 Texas sweet onion crop, Davis said.
"It's a long way from being made, but the crop looks really good," he said.

Event Title: Pilates of Homer
Location: HERC Building
Pilates of Homer
Classes taught by Sarah LaQue, Certified Pilates Structural Integration Method
Pilates is a body conditioning routine to build flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination. The method teaches the mind to control the muscles. Together we will create a strong core and a toned flexible body. Our workouts will naturally improve your postural reflexes and movement patterns so that you create a body that is resistant to injury, stress and the affects of age and over use.
1. Core Conditioning - workouts jump start your low abs and core connection. You will learn to use this connection in everything you do to improve muscle tone, flexibility and balance. Learn to condition your abs in every movement of every exercise.
2. Stress Resistant - Breath is the foundation of health and posture. Breathing techniques will re-ignite the link between your breathing reflex and your core muscles. This turns on your body's own natural stress discharge system.
3. Learn to intentionally re-align and balance your joints and muscles as you work out.
Structural Integration Pilates is the art and science of balancing the mind and body and making deep lasting changes. For more information and registration contact Sarah at 235-7854 or email at email@example.com.

They don't have to be trick questions, but one I thought of was "Name a class that does not have the .ToString() method".
Is there one? All classes extend System.Object which provides the .ToString() method.

The bottom heating element wasn't working in top oven Kevin Scott W. • Parker, CO • January 09, 2015 Appliance: Frigidaire Frigidaire/electric Wall Oven PLEB30T8CCB My Repair & Advice Before we replaced the board, my wife tried to replace just the element. We had one we had ordered several years ago when this same thing happened. When that didn't work we replaced the board and could see where the old board was damaged so we figured this was the solution. It would have been except the bottom element my wife used to replace the old element (which was fine but had been thrown out figuring the new one was new so why keep the old one) was 1" shorter in the back than the old one. Unbeknownst to us, that one inch was very important as, some of the insulation had moved around and exposed metal that the back of the element was pushing up against. So as soon as we turned it one it was metal on metal and it burned the connectors right off. After a couple connectors blew off and we put our fingers back there and could feel the metal, we figured out what was going on and we were able to find a work around so there was no more metal on metal and the oven works great! So we had two issues, the original was the board was out and then our own made problem of to short of ends on the element. Was this review helpful to you?
I had a 2 part order a belt for my washer and clips for door bar on my frig i had the wrong parts Marlene R. • East Liverpool, OH • September 30, 2014 Appliance: Model FRT13CRHWO My Repair & Advice I called and talked to a guy named Danny, which was very helpful. With his help I had my order straightened out and he also was able to get the belt I needed to me the next day, which I did not think would be here so quick. The fix was pretty easy after I had received the correct parts which included a drive belt for the washer, a set (L&R) of clips to attach the bar on the inside of my refrigerator door, also a bottle of white appliance touch-up paint. All were pretty easy to repair once I had the right parts. That's important and that's where Danny was such a BIG help. Thank You for this web site...this is a site that you don't mind telling your friends about. You have a video availably which is a great idea a big help. This site is in my favorites and I have told a lot of people about how good this site is and how helpful the people are...Thanks, Don Was this review helpful to you?

Reading Guide
Eat, Pray, Love
Elizabeth Gilbert
From the way Elizabeth Gilbert's tale begins—with our heroine in Rome, fawning over a sexy, young Italian—one could be forgiven for thinking that Eat, Pray, Love might just belong on the chick-lit shelf next to Amy Sohn's Run, Catch, Kiss. But first blushes can be deceiving, and from the book's introductory quote—"Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth"—we know Gilbert's not out to deceive. Not her readers and, most important, not herself.In what could be construed as a coming-of-age story for thirtysomethings, Gilbert leaves behind an excruciating divorce, tumultuous affair, and debilitating depression as she sets off on a yearlong quest to bridge the gulf between body, mind, and spirit. Part self-deprecating tour guide, part wry, witty chronicler, Gilbert relates this chapter of her life with a compelling, richly detailed narrative that eschews the easy answers of New Age rhetoric. In the book's early pages, a flashback finds the smart, savvy, successful Gilbert on her knees on the bathroom floor of the Westchester house she inhabits with her husband, wailing and wallowing in sorrow, snot, and tears ("a veritable Lake Inferior"), awkwardly embarking on her first conversation with God.
During the interminable wait for her divorce, Gilbert accepts a magazine assignment in Bali, where she meets a ninth-generation medicine man "whose resemblance to the Star Wars character Yoda cannot be exaggerated." He evaluates her palm, forecasting her return to Bali—a prediction that resurfaces when she hatches an escape plan from pain: "to explore the art of pleasure in Italy, the art of devotion in India, and, in Indonesia, the art of balancing the two."
Drawn by the beauty of its mother tongue, Gilbert arrives in Rome dead set on a self-restoration remedy rooted in pleasure and chastity, a peculiar pairing she describes as the antidote for decades spent sublimating herself to lovers with the dedication of "a golden retriever and a barnacle." For Gilbert, luxuriating in simple pleasures means sounding the curtain call on personal demons—in this case a good-cop, bad-cop routine starring loneliness and depression—and allowing her own desires (gelato for breakfast!) to take center stage.
Pleasure triumphs, and our protagonist is prepared for the next leg of her journey: an ashram in India, where racing thoughts eventually yield to successful meditation and a cast of supportive characters, including a plumber-poet from New Zealand, an ever-amiable, sage Texan, and the Indian tomboy she scrubs the temple floors with as part of her devotional duty.
By the time Gilbert arrives in Indonesia, she has shed her grief, realizing her own ability to control her reaction to life's events. She is strong, enjoying a succession of simple days spent with the medicine man, a Javanese surfer dude, and a woman healer. Bicycling around Bali, she finds balance and, as the title suggests, love. Happiness, Gilbert comes to realize, "is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it."
Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of a short story collection, Pilgrims, a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and winner of the 1999 John C. Zacharis First Book Award from Ploughshares-and a novel, Stern Men. A Pushcart Prize winner and National Magazine Award-nominated journalist, she works as writer-at-large forGQ. Her journalism has been published in Harper's Bazaar, Spin, and The New York Times Magazine, and her stories have appeared in Esquire, Story, and the Paris Review.
Q. The realization that you did not want to have children serves as a turning point in the reevaluation of your life that led to divorce. Later you quote Virginia Woolf—"Across the broad continent of a woman's life falls the shadow of a sword"—writing about a woman's choice between convention and tradition versus "a far more interesting" yet "perilous" life. Do you think this is as true today for the modern, urban American woman?When modern American women make the deliberate choice not to have children they are still called upon to defend that choice, in a culture where motherhood is still regarded as the natural evolution of a woman's life. But I remember my own mother musing once that she thought women had been "sold a bill of goods" during the 1970s, in terms of being promised that they could have everything simultaneously—family, career, marriage, privacy, equality, femininity, and autonomy. Reality has taught us that no woman can build an honest life without sacrificing something along the way. Deciding what will be sacrificed is not easy. But the good news is this: increasingly, that decision is ours.
Q. Joseph Campbell spent a lifetime studying myths from around the world, ultimately sketching the archetype of the hero as a protagonist who sets out on a journey that ends in personal—and spiritual—transformation. Do you see echoes of the hero's tale (well, heroine's) in your own story?
Back when Campbell (whom I love, by the way) was teaching at Sarah Lawrence College, his female students would sometimes ask, "But what about the heroine's journey? Don't women get to participate in this universal questing epic?" Traditional world mythology, however, frankly replies: "Nope." Women (as life bearers) have always been seen by mythmakers (men) as being automatically perfect for their task; they don't need to transform. Well, I was never going to be a life bearer and was painfully yearning for the classically soul-changing quest. So throughout my journey, I definitely identified much more closely with the struggling hero archetype than with the self-possessed goddess archetype.
Q. Do you think travel necessitates personal growth because one is forced to respond to and accept the unfamiliar? In your opinion, how much does it depend on an individual's willingness to embrace opportunity?
No experience in this world has ever been cathartic without the willing participation of the individual. Life does not automatically bestow wisdom or growth upon anyone just for showing up. You have to work ceaselessly on your end to digest and imbibe your opportunities or, I have come to believe, they will gradually slip away and knock on someone else's more receptive door.
Q. You have a strong distrust of antidepressants, portraying them as Western medicine's easy answer to despair. In light of the experiences related in the book, do you now believe that seeking help when one needs it is a sign of courage and the first step on the road to healing?
I actually have a great deal of respect for antidepressants; I think they can be enormously mighty tools toward recovery. What I question is the current notion that a little vitamin P is the only thing needed to restore a torn life. We are multifaceted beings, and if we are to heal our suffering we must address our wounds on every imaginable level, seeking help from as many sources as possible, not just from pharmaceutical companies. And, yes, that all begins with the brave admission that one is lost and wants to be recovered.
Q. You ended up structuring your book conceptually using japa mala—the beads used as an aid in many strands of Eastern meditation—as your model. This allowed you to tell your tale using 108 sections, divided into three groups of 36, your age at the time, with each group representing a different leg of your travels. How did you decide to use this device, and how difficult was it to remain faithful to this format?
Brace yourself for the world's hokiest answer: the idea came to me in meditation in India. The idea arrived fully formed. In one glorious instant I was shown a complete vision of how the book would be organized. This idea was a massive gift to me; the structure kept my storytelling in order, preventing me from rambling digressions. And the idea of the prayer beads kept me on topic emotionally, too, reminding me at every moment that this book was ultimately a spiritual exercise, an offering.
Q. How did you come to the decision to have your sister and, to a lesser extent, your mother serve as points of comparison for your own life?
How could they not be comparisons? I think we all compare ourselves to our mothers and sisters, and, in my case, these are the two most influential women in my life—powerful and inspiring. And yet they've made markedly different choices than I have. But I witnessed this truth in them, too—that it was not without a certain level of sacrifice and struggle that they embraced motherhood and marriage. I learned a lot about my own ambivalence by studying theirs from every visible angle, using their experiences to teach me about myself.
Q. The personal encounters you have in Italy, India, and Indonesia seem to affect you deeply, and your guru's philosophy clearly informs your own. Do you think that self-discovery requires the insights of others? What do you make of this paradox?
I don't see the paradox; I think sincere self-exploration requires the insight of everyone. One of my guru's most helpful instructions is to "become a scientist of your own experience," which I take as an invitation to explore every possible line of human spiritual thinking. The world has been blessed with some extraordinary teachers over history—use them! That said, studying can only take you so far. At some point you have to lay aside the books, hope that your mind has actually absorbed some wisdom, and just sit there in silence, letting your soul ascend to its own leadership. And that's something nobody can do for you.
Q. Before you leave India, your poet-plumber friend from the ashram writes a few lines of verse as a good-bye. In his poem, he describes you as "betwixt and between." Do you think one can remain continually betwixt and between or is there a point at which this approach to life would become a burden?
Well, you don't want to become a hunk of driftwood. When I was in India I ran into some travelers who'd never settled down, and they all had that look of tight madness around the eyes. What you do want to remain, though, whether you are traveling or not, is alert. Pay attention to the signals—is it time to lay down roots? Or time to go exploring again? As for me, I've come to trust the power of a lifelong quest; if you keep asking honest questions and keep giving honest answers, you will always be instructed clearly on what to do next, and when and with whom. (In other words: I'm happily and quietly living with my sweetheart, for the time being, in Philadelphia.)
Q. Eat, Pray, Love marks a point of departure from your previous work by focusing on your own life. Was it difficult for you to turn your talents to your own experience, revealing so much to readers about your internal life and personal journey?
Oddly, I never thought of it as a particularly personal story. To me, the arc of the narrative felt completely universal—doesn't everyone struggle with these same questions, doubts, and longings? So, no, it wasn't difficult to write this. Though I do feel it would have been impossible not to write it. I was so consumed by questions that I needed the ordering process of writing to help me sort through them. As Joan Didion once said, "I write so I can learn what I think."
Q. How important does that year in your life seem to you now?
How important was the first breath you ever took the day you were born?
- Gilbert writes that "the appreciation of pleasure can be the anchor of humanity," making the argument that America is "an entertainment-seeking nation, not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one." Is this a fair assessment?
- After imagining a petition to God for divorce, an exhausted Gilbert answers her phone to news that her husband has finally signed. During a moment of quietude before a Roman fountain, she opens her Louise Glück collection to a verse about a fountain, one reminiscent of the Balinese medicine man's drawing. After struggling to master a 182-verse daily prayer, she succeeds by focusing on her nephew, who suddenly is free from nightmares. Do these incidents of fortuitous timing signal fate? Cosmic unity? Coincidence?
- Gilbert hashes out internal debates in a notebook, a place where she can argue with her inner demons and remind herself about the constancy of self-love. When an inner monologue becomes a literal conversation between a divided self, is this a sign of last resort or of self-reliance?
- When Gilbert finally returns to Bali and seeks out the medicine man who foretold her return to study with him, he doesn't recognize her. Despite her despair, she persists in her attempts to spark his memory, eventually succeeding. How much of the success of Gilbert's journey do you attribute to persistence?
- Prayer and meditation are both things that can be learned and, importantly, improved. In India, Gilbert learns a stoic, ascetic meditation technique. In Bali, she learns an approach based on smiling. Do you think the two can be synergistic? Or is Ketut Liyer right when he describes them as "same-same"?
- Gender roles come up repeatedly in Eat, Pray, Love, be it macho Italian men eating cream puffs after a home team's soccer loss, or a young Indian's disdain for the marriage she will be expected to embark upon at age eighteen, or the Balinese healer's sly approach to male impotence in a society where women are assumed responsible for their childlessness. How relevant is Gilbert's gender?
- In what ways is spiritual success similar to other forms of success? How is it different? Can they be so fundamentally different that they're not comparable?
- Do you think people are more open to new experiences when they travel? And why?
- Abstinence in Italy seems extreme, but necessary, for a woman who has repeatedly moved from one man's arms to another's. After all, it's only after Gilbert has found herself that she can share herself fully in love. What does this say about her earlier relationships?
- Gilbert mentions her ease at making friends, regardless of where she is. At one point at the ashram, she realizes that she is too sociable and decides to embark on a period of silence, to become the Quiet Girl in the Back of the Temple. It is just after making this decision that she is assigned the role of ashram key hostess. What does this say about honing one's nature rather than trying to escape it? Do you think perceived faults can be transformed into strengths rather than merely repressed?
- Sitting in an outdoor café in Rome, Gilbert's friend declares that every city—and every person—has a word. Rome's is "sex," the Vatican's "power"; Gilbert declares New York's to be "achieve," but only later stumbles upon her own word,antevasin, Sanskrit for "one who lives at the border." What is your word? Is it possible to choose a word that retains its truth for a lifetime?

Berthoud Recorder
Residents who came to voice objections about a proposed franchise agreement between Berthoud and Xcel Energy filled the Town Board chamber at the Tuesday, July 28 meeting. If approved by trustees, the 20-year agreement would increase the electric bills of Xcel customers in Town by 3 percent.
"Asking residents to come up with an extra 3 percent is asking a lot," said resident Melissa O'Leary who said she was representing about a dozen other Berthoud families, some of whom were out of work. "It's my opinion that a fee of 3 percent be at least put to a vote," stated resident Judy Lane.
Resident Milan Karspeck, who serves on the Town Utility Advisory Board, said that at its last meeting the UAB members decided not to recommend the Xcel franchise to the Town Board. Karspeck said he believed he was already paying a 3 percent sales tax to the Town for the gas and electric service Xcel provides to him.
As Town Attorney Bruce Fickel pointed out, the discussion of the Xcel franchise did not take place at an official public hearing because the utility company had not yet published the required three-week notice. However, because so many residents had turned out to address the issue, Fickel said it would be permissible for the board to hear their concerns.
While listening to residents' comments, Mayor Pro Tem David Gregg and other trustees explained the reason for considering the franchise: the Town's dwindling revenues. "We struggle with paying for basic services," said Gregg. "Our revenues are down 15 percent this year," he added. Gregg suggested the Town continue to negotiate and deliberate with Xcel on the franchise agreement.
"I personally support David's suggestion to continue to negotiate," said Trustee Jeff Hindman. In the past 10 years since Berthoud voters narrowly defeated a measure to sign a franchise agreement, the Town has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenues, he said. "The utility franchise fee is a normal part of business," he remarked.
Hindman also addressed a concern expressed by Prairie Star developer Scott Sarbaugh, who said that an Xcel franchise would negatively impact his plans to serve the proposed project with solar energy. "Xcel is leading the way on solar power," remarked Hindman.
While stating his opposition, Trustee Dick Shepard said, "This is a subject very near and dear to my heart. I proposed a couple months ago, or a month, to table this whole franchise agreement." He went on to add, "This is the wrong time in this economy, I believe, for us to pass a 3 percent [increase]."
Trustee Michael Patrick agreed with Shepard and suggested that the Utility Advisory Board continue reviewing the franchise agreement. Patrick said a 20-year, inflexible agreement would dramatically limit the Town as changes in energy supply and delivery occur. "It's still our community and all of us have to figure out how to pay for essential services," Patrick added. "This year we have a substantial reduction in sales tax and are getting to the end of reserve funds."
The board voted 4-2 to refer the franchise matter to the Utility Advisory Board for further study and to take no action on the agreement for six months. Trustee John Bauer said that both he and Hindman opposed the motion because of the six-month stipulation, which he believed could limit negotiations.

Radio broadcasting in Spain began in the 1920s. The state-run Radio Nacional de España (RNE) was established during the Civil War. There are many private radio stations and they compete fiercely. Radio personalities are paid huge salaries, out of which they employ the staff for their programs.

I'm exporting a model from Revit Structure to ASD (both 2013). Revit is in mm and same for ASD template.
When creating element printouts, the elevation marks show +65 instead of +6500. Anyone has any ideea wat is wrong?
Thank you in advance.
It wrongly shows values in decimeters instead milimeters.
It is a bug? How can I "fix" that? Is there a workaround?
Thank you!
I have the same problem.
How to get the value of elevation marks in millimeters?
You cant. It's a "feature". Maybe in ASD 2014, because the SP for ASD2013 is still not out.
Please be patient with regard to 2013 SP1.

Server Side: Time Zones
started by Dave_smith on Oct 3, 2004 — RSS Feed
Posts: 6
I am living in Trinidad but my server is based in the UK - a time zone about 5 hours different from mine.
When I use SSI to indicate "this page was last updated on ...." I obviously get the time and date of the server on not my local time.
I can't find - despite many Google searches - how to change this time zone. Any advice please?
Joe Gillespie
Posts: 528
Well, you can't change the timezone of your server so you have to add the five hours on your page. Just pass the server time to this simple JavaScript function and it will add five hours (or whatever).
function makeLocal(serverTime)
var hoursOffset = 5;
localTime = new Date();
return localTime;
I trust that you know how to call this from your SSI.
Posts: 6
You could save me some research by dropping a few hints on how to call this script from my SSI.
Joe Gillespie
Posts: 528
I'd need to see the SSI to be certain. Are you inserting something like #localtime# and not just #time# or #gmtime# ?
Make a JavaScript section in the head of the page, insert the function and replace #localtime# with javascript:makeLocal(#localtime#)
That's the principle but I have no way to test this myself.

In my battlegroup, the entire Alliance strategy seems to be to make an initial rush, capturing towers etc. Then, because the don't defend the towers, the Horde takes them back and the entire team falls back to turtle, prolonging our loss while not gaining many honor points.

Fat salaries, fast cars and "playing the corporate game" are of little or no interest to ambitious senior business women. What they look for are companies with an inclusive culture.
The battle to break through the glass ceiling into the boardroom leaves many women negative, worn down and disillusioned that they are not being used to their full potential.
The "hidden brain-drain" of women opting out of the U.S. workforce to spend more time with their kids is a myth, a new report has claimed. Instead, the real reason for the decline in the number of working women is the overall weakness of the labour market.
Even professional women with discretion over the amount they charge for their work tend to ask for less than men. But while this might suggest that they are doing themselves a disservice, new research suggests that the opposite may be true.
A new study has found that women executives in the U.S. working in women-led firms earn between 15 and 20 per cent more in total compensation than women working in other firms.
It isn't discrimination that is stopping women getting into the boardroom, a new survey has suggested. They just aren't prepared to make the sacrifices needed to get there.
Why do so many women struggle with "being political"? They possess all the skills they need to succeed in the political arena – but all too often, no-one has taught them the rules of the game. So here's a crash course in how to play the game without becoming a man in a skirt.
The current recession offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shift the dynamic of the workplace from one that is inherently masculine to one where there is a more balanced collaboration of the masculine and the feminine within us all.

Landscaping simply means the changes in a given area of land due addition of ornamental plants, native plants, changing shape by terracing, construction of fences, patio covers and other features that can bring changes.
It is all about planning, lying out and garden construction to boost the look of a given area of a home. To accomplish all this, you need to gather information for your ideas and currently the internet is recommended.
Process of landscaping
You should take care not to make a mistake of rushing to construct a phase yet you have no plan for it. The ideas you researched on should be visualized in the plan to guide you in the construction procedure. If you have somebody to help you in landscaping, then let that individual create a working plan that suits your desires and be a problem solving on wind, slopes or inadequate space for other activities.
Hardscape and plant selection
If you have a variety of resources for the building material, then you need to explore on how you will utilize them because the choice is extensive. There are some remains that were used; for instance, construction of houses like brick remains can be used for water retention walls.
Your selection process is very essential for landscaping process. They must be adaptable to a given environment so as to safeguard on certain resources that can be used at some other point of need. If those plants are not placed in a place with light, moisture and temperature that is required, consequently they may have problems during their growth process.
Types of landscaping
Private landscaping: It is owned by individuals and they are administrators of their own. These individuals may be hired by anybody who wishes his or her home to be landscaped to fit his or her needs.
Public landscaping: this is for every body and they keep golf courses groomed and they also work in parks. They maintain lawns, trim weeds, plant flowers in residential areas.
City landscaping: this is where the process of landscaping is done at the city level. They do scythe the sides of the roads and they maintain the flowerbed.
How is it beneficial?
Homestead owners stand to gain the knowledge in landscaping that helps them engage the expertise of the landscaper when they are working for them. That is, the owner would be in a position to know all types of tree that can mix together to bring forth the attractive appearance of an environment.
The best landscaping in the world of today do flow seamlessly with the nature of environment. However, it requires a lot of commitment to maintain it to the standards. It is therefore necessary to have somebody to maintain it to continue looking good at all times.

Ivianah Figueroa, only four months old, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, is miraculously alive and unhurt after accidentally hitching a ride in her stroller Wednesday from a passing truck.
It seems that the child's mother Ana Rivera, was running errands on foot, pushing little Ivianah in the stroller on the sidewalk, when she was confronted by a large area of deeper snow on Union and Merrimack streets. Rivera maneuvered the the stroller off the curb and onto the street intending to dart along the sidewalk between the curb and a stopped truck.
As she was doing this, the truck started to move, and a step on the struck caught the wheel of the stroller. According to Rivera, "And that's when the wheel got caught on the side of the truck but literally it just took the stroller right off my hands."
The incident, caught by surveillance cameras, shows the terrified mother run after the truck as it drags baby and stroller down Merrimack street and turns the corer on Union street, "I thought he was going to keep going with the carriage," said Rivera. "I didn't know what to think. I just wanted to catch him. Everybody was honking the horn."
Luckily, after going about 100 feet, the struck stopped. "I think a Good Samaritan got his attention and stopped. The baby didn't fall out of the carriage," explained Lawrence Police Chief James Fitzpatrick. As far the driver is concerned, police said that "he did not see them at all," and told them that "'they came out of nowhere.'"
Happily, Ivianah was fine and did not have a scratch her.
There are no plans to charge the truck driver with any offense.

Walmart Bass Fishing League - Louisiana/Texas
Red River (May 17, 2008)
Richard best boater on Red River
NATCHITOCHES, La. — Boater Mark Richard of Bridge City, La., won the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Louisiana-Texas Division tournament on the Red River Saturday with a five-bass catch weighing 15 pounds. The victory earned Richard $3,801 and placed him one step closer to qualifying for the Lake Ouachita Regional Championship in Mount Ida, Ark., Oct. 23-25, where he could ultimately win a new 198VX Ranger boat and a Chevy truck.
Richard caught his bass throwing a black Stanley Ribbit Frog in 3 to 6 feet of water near Colfax.
Rounding out the top five boaters are Aaron Johnson of Bossier City, La. (five bass, 14-13, $2,236); Marc Gatwood of Hattiesburg, Miss. (five bass, 13-11, $1,492); Glen Freeman of Converse, La. (five bass, 13-8, $1,043); and Glenn Robertson of Shreveport, La. (five bass, 12-7, $894).
Melvin Dunn of Orange, Texas, Nicholas Albus of Trinity, Texas, and Tim Achee of Hemphill, Texas, each took home the Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award, earning $216 for a 5-pound, 2-ounce bass.
Charles Dranguet of Natchitoches, La., earned $2,236 as the co-angler winner Saturday thanks to five bass weighing 13 pounds, 11 ounces that he caught on a Zoom Brush Hog.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Jeffrey Wharton of Houston (three bass, 8-10, $1,118); Bobby Barreraz of Center, Texas (five bass, 7-15, $633); Daniel Thomas of Pineville, La. (three bass, 7-15, $633); and Ronald Roth of Ocean Springs, Miss. (four bass, 7-12, $447).
Larry Tucker of Montgomery, La., and Michael Frost of Cookville, Texas, each earned $162 as the co-angler Big Bass winners after both caught a 4-pound, 10-ounce bass.
The division's fourth qualifying event will be held on Toledo Bend in Many, La., June 28. A two-day Super Tournament, the division's fifth and final event, will be held on Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Jasper, Texas, Sept. 20-21.
Following the end of regular-season competition, the top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on year-end points standings in the division will advance to the no-entry-fee Lake Ouachita Regional Championship where they will compete against top qualifiers from three other BFL divisions. At the Regional Championship boaters will fish for a new Ranger boat and Chevy truck and co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger boat. The top six boaters and top six co-anglers at the Regional Championship will also advance to the All-American presented by Chevy. With a total purse of $1 million, a potential $140,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and as much as $70,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing. The winning boater and winning co-angler at the All-American also advance to the no-entry-fee $2 million Forrest Wood Cup. This event, featuring a top award of $1 million, is the sport's biggest championship.

PUNE: Developing environment-friendly processes, affordable health-care among others will be some of the major challenges before scientists, Sourav Pal, director of National Chemical Laboratory, said here on Friday. He was delivering the 51st Prof. S.P. Agharkar memorial lecture on 'chemistry towards materials of future' at the Agharkar Re-search Institute.
Pal traced the history of chemistry, beginning with the modern chemistry and how chemistry with atomic and molecular insight can make impact in the society. He presented some of the important scientific challenges.
Pal said, "Energy, energy-efficient buildings, problems of sustainable resources, environment-friendly processes, affordable healthcare are some of the important challenges before scientists at the moment. Many of these will require novel and smart yet functional materials as well as novel catalysts to simplify processes and chemical reactions."
He said, "Inter-disciplinary expertise will be required to solve these problems. Interface of chemistry, physics, biology, geology, engineering and mathematics will play an important role in developing novel materials in various fields of energy. For instance, developing bio-fuels, fuel cells, solar cells with the integration of all the mentioned fields will be important. Environment-friendly processes will require implementation of new chemistry"
Pal emphasised that Chemistry must be inspired by Biology and at the same time Biology will be driven by molecular level insight.
Later, he presented some of his research on use of computation in improving hydrogen storage capacity of materials. Pal also explained the importance of nanomaterials and how the change of properties with size can be understood by use of chemical and physical insight.

These kind of moments are exactly why we love DCL and WDW in general. We have never been on a trip, either on land or sea, where we did not get some pixie dust. Some have been bigger than others, but they were all special.
Disney CM's really do try to go above and beyond.

As we are gearing up to leave for our B2B's on the Wonder, I've been reminiscing of all the amazing, magical things that happened on our first 2 cruises. A few of my favorite moments:
-seeing our Palo server, Selcuk in Beach Blanket at lunch one day- cleaning and helping guests. Such a friendly guy, he made everyone in Beach Blanket feel just as special as if they had been dining in Palo. My kids had no idea who this funny guy was, but he promised them SOUFFLE from Palo- and did indeed send some back for them the next night after our Palo dinner. We saw him again in Cabo and he stopped and spent quite some time telling us where to eat etc. Can't wait to see him again in 35 days!! -Winning the Mickey 200 race! I'm pretty sure that we didn't actually win but I could tell the 2 girls running it LOVED our team name and they kept making sure we were in round after round... only to be declared the winner! -Having a huge pod of dolphins outside our verandah on the morning of my birthday. How very Disney- to arrange for DOLPHINS to wish me a Happy Birthday!

[QUOTE=Glitzytraveller;47225962]I just got off of Wonder On Monday. First off, I wanted to share how special the Wonder is to us. My husband and I sailed on Wonder in 2000 for our honeymoon. We took our kids on Dream twice last year. But, this cruise on Wonder was just for hubby and I. We wanted to go back to Our Magical Place all these years later.
I wanted to share a once in a lifetime Magical Moment that happened to my husband and I. I know all you Disney lovers would appreciate it. My husband and I were standing on deck just above the fly-bridge during sail away from Nassau. As the ship started to move away from the dock, I jokingly yelled down to the captain asking when he was going to blow the horn. He put up one finger to say hold on. Then he had one of the officers come and invite us down to the bridge. I thought he was going to let us watch the sail away from there and I was just in awe at that. Then he told me to go into the bridge and push the button to blast the horn. Needless to say, I had tears running down my face and a smile as big as Texas as I pushed the Mickey shaped button and "When you wish upon a star" rang out. We were able to snap a picture in the bridge and with Capt. Fabian. I thanked him profusely. It was something I will never forget What an awesome moment that must have been. Capt Fabian is the best. We took our picture with him on Formal night and had a nice quick conversation. A couple of days later we passed by him and he remembered who we were and what we talked about and took the time to speak with us again and see how things were going.

I have nothing to compare to some of the really wonderful stories that have been posted, but the great thing about Pixie Dust is that it comes in all sizes: large, small, and in-between!
We had the Cruise of a Lifetime when we did the Amazing, Wonderful, Absolutely Stunning, Westbound TransAtlantic Crossing in September of 2010. We were late getting to the Sail Away party, and went up the forward stairway to Deck 10 in order to search out a possible vantage point as most of the good places had already been staked out. We had just walked through the doors when we realized that this was where the Disney characters gathered before they went on stage for the show. Well, we started to back out, afraid that we were interfering, when Goofy turned and saw us and literally sprinted across the ship to where we were and grabbed me in a great, big hug! I'm a BIG Goofy fan (and you can read that any way you want), so my heart immediately melted, and the rest of the cruise was just magical. He could have waved. He could have ignored us. He could have said "hi!", but he ran across to greet us as if we were his greatest friends (instead of his biggest fans)! That's Pixie Dust! Later that same cruise, we got the chance to stand and chat with any or all of the princesses and have our pictures taken. Being a guy, I generally hung back to let the little (and not so little!) girls be with the princesses, but I saw an opening, and went up and chatted with Belle. I said "I wanted to speak to you, because we have something in common!" She looked surprised, and said, "What's that?" I replied, "We both love books!" and it was as if I'd turned on a tap! We stood and chatted about books, and what books we loved, and why, and I'm sure everyone around us was wondering what this 60-something guy was chatting about with Belle! She could have nodded and smiled, but she was truly engaged and engaging! Pixie Dust! And throughout that 14 day cruise, we had the unmitigated luck to have befriended another guest named Jason, whom we met in the Barcelona terminal before boarding. In normal life, he was a hard-bitten, bottom-line driven, software security consultant from northern England, but on this cruise, he really let his inner self out. He became Peter and Tink's best friend. He was in every line for every photo. He smiled at every person he met, and laughed and joked with everyone. The princesses lined up to have their pictures taken with HIM, and they all knew his name! He was everything anyone with a heart wanted to be on a Disney cruise, and he LOVED it! And we all envied him - but not one of us had a bad thought or word for him, because he made everyone who was in his presence feel as if they were the greatest person in the world. He got much, MUCH more than his money's worth, because he knew the value of Pixie Dust! And the lesson I took from Jason is: Pixie dust doesn't just come from CMs, but, if they're smart, from guests, too!

While on the Fantasy last week, I had indicated through reservations that my husband and I were celebrating our 24th anniversary. At dinner, the crew gathered around and presented us with a cake and song...lovely except for one tiny thing. We had switched our seating and I was sitting next to not my husband, the other husband in our party. Imagine our laughter when the crew chanted, "kiss, kiss!"...we just grinned and I gave him a peck on the cheek. We found the entire thing hilariously funny and yet another great story to add to our "books"...the crew spent the rest of the cruise pointing out to us that they knew who went "with" who!
First visit to DW: 1971! Too many visits to count since!

We have had so many magical moments on our cruises with Disney and we often say that there is no way that we will top the servers that we have on each cruise, but this summer I would have to say Didi and Christina on the Wonder are by far our favourites.
They made origami for our kids everyday, had all of our drinks waiting for us at each of the seats that we sat in. They were so funny and one time after finishing dinner when I was asked what I wanted for dessert I told Didi "Oh nothing for me thanks." Well everyone got their desserts and Didi puts a plate down in front of me that is covered in Mickey sprinkles and whipped cream and in chocolate sauce is written the word "Nothing". I love those two so much. The moment though that I want to write about is partially mine, but mostly someone elses. It was after one of our fantastic dinners, we always closed the restaurant because we love to sit and chat and goof off with our servers. The time had to be around 10:30-11:00 and the DH and I on our way to the room bumped into Snow White, who is obviously heading in for the night. Well my hubby started to joke with her asking her where the dwarves were and that if she needed grumpy she could enlist me. Well Snow was quick and responded "Oh no she most definitely would be Happy if she was to fill in." I smiled and said thank you and then took a few shots of DH with Snow. Enter little girl who has just spotted Snow down the hall and now toddles/tears down the hallway as happy as can be. She steps up close to Snow and pulls on her skirt. DH quickly moves so the little girl can have her moment and doesn't Snow White get right down on the floor with the little girl and gives her a hug and proceeds to spend about 10-15 minutes recounting the girl's entire trip. When another little girl comes by she invites the other little girl over gives her a hug and then proceeds to chat with both of them. We were probably there for about 30 minutes watching Snow with 2 little girls and it was the sweetest thing I have seen on Disney. I never really had a favourite princess but I think I have to say Snow White is now the one.
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

Here's our Magic Moment
We were on the Dream last February, and to my surpise, my 8yo DD was really into meeting the characters. We were on our way to get in line to meet Captain Mickey, and all of a sudden we heard a commotion behind us. We turned around and Mickey and his entourage were walking toward us. Without missing a beat, Mickey put his arm around DD and regally escorted her to the line. It was such a great moment, and DD was ecstatic! I ran ahead a bit and got this photo:

We had a couple on our last cruise, DD first cruise
-We had just finished lunch and were ready to see our cabin, DD was really excited and walking about 10 feet in front of us, just as she turned around the corner to our cabin, she stood there looking down the hall in complete shock, we had no idea why, but, she went from been shock to having the biggest smile, two seconds later Goofy appears and hugs her and then he starts goofying (lol) around with her, plays with her, poses for pictures, gives her another big hug and goes away. We had been on the Dream for 45 minutes and DD got a one on one time with Goofy for at least 5 minutes... When he leaves, she turns around to DH and says ... Daddy, Disney Cruise Line is a dream come true - After that fabulous experience, we went to check out our cabin, then we decide to head to the Sail Away party, as the elevator door opens out comes Daisy who also hugs her, you can just imagine the look on her face, Daisy also spends a couple of minutes with DD, then she grabs DD hand and heads down the hallway, there was a girl there playing an Ukelele and Daisy starts to dance with DD. Needless to say, DD was having the time of her life and I was crying tears of joy - On our last day, we left DD at the Oceaneers club and headed to Palo for dinner, after dinner we saw the princesses doing the farewell in the Atrium. So, we head to the club to pick up DD and as we approach the entrance, we see DD playing and laughing, but, we could not see who she was playing with, we tell the CM that we were there to pick DD as we point to her and she looks andme and ask me if I was sure I wanted to pick her up, then I notice who DD is playing with, she was playing with Tinkerbell, just her and Tink I look at the CM and she is waving goodbye to us, we don't need to say anything to her and just walk away with a huge smile on our faces. How can we take DD away when she is spending some quality time with Tink This was all during a 3 day cruise... Needless to say, we are seriously considering going on the 14 day transatlantic...
My is 5yrs old. She is very lucky little girl who Mickey as much as mommy.
