But staying within the confines of his specialty is not the key to growth, according to Fagien. "Many people just stick to their specialty and only hang with those in their specialty and consider others the enemy. I don't subscribe to that at all. I like to collaborate with those who are credible contributors, whether they are dermatologists or plastic surgeons, who have offered a lot to aesthetic medicine," he says. "Everyone sees things differently, and you can learn a lot from someone else's vantage point."
Ethics and the economy
One of the most important motivators for Fagien is to make sure he earns his success in what he believes to be an ethical and straightforward manner, avoiding some of the trappings he sees as potentially misleading to patients. "Most of the patients that see me have done a lot of homework, and they haven't done homework by visiting my Web site," says Fagien, who proudly conducts business without one. "I'm not against the Web, and I think there are people who have Web pages that are spectacular for information, but they can also be deceptive. I've known on many occasions those who have questionable or marginal talent with Web sites that are incredible, and you would think they've invented every procedure known to plastic surgery. It's buyer beware."
Instead, Fagien relies on word-of-mouth referrals as his most trusted source of business. "When somebody has heard about your reputation, those are the kind of patients who are serious about surgery and are not just shopping," he explains, noting that he counts his ability to nurture real relationships with his patients as one of the biggest secrets of his success.
"I find that patients in many ways become long-term, friendly relationships, and we set up our offices to be a friendly environment. My patients love my office staff; my staff treats them with respect. My patients get what they came for and are extremely satisfied with their results. There's no referral stronger than excellent results, and there's nothing as long-lasting," he says.
In fact, Fagien's patients recently were the ones who reaped the benefits of the slow economy. "Anyone who says the economy didn't affect them was not being truthful; it affected all of us," Fagien says. "For patients, it was an advantage because they could get in earlier. We were still full, but we weren't crazy. The benefit of having a busy practice was that I had a significant backlog in surgery scheduled far enough in advance that it kind of made up for some of the losses."

Hi all, I will be enlarging my pond in a week. I bought a 50 gallon RubberMaid container and from the pet store an air pump and aerator strip. My pond builder is bringing two more smaller containers and aerators - I don't know what they are made of. Is rubber or plastic OK for the fish? I guess it should be since the pond is lined with plastic. I've got about 18 small and medium size goldfish and two larger koi (about 8+ inches) I've had my pond one year this month - so I've not done this before. Should I use the pond water and add a bit of well water to the container ? Any suggestions how best to care for the fish for the few days they need to be contained ? With thanks in NC - where it will most likely be in the 70s possibly even the 80s the week in question. Also - should I let the frogs fend for themselves or provide another container? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rubbermaid plastic containers are usually quite safe for fish. Keep the container in the shade and cover it with netting so they don't jump out. Provide them with aeration and don't feed them while they are in there. Keep a close eye on ammonia levels as ammonia will rise quickly and can kill VERY fast. Good luck! |

I have a few choices to make. Use ProMix BX or FarFard Organic or Happy Frogďż˝ Potting Soil or Happy Frog Ocean soil. Prices are not much different. In the Promix I will probably have to add vermuculite and possibly some perlite + Dolomite lime and 10-10-10 fertilizers. They will be used in Earthboxes. Some tomatoes, okra, eggplant and other vegetables. For PromixBS I have to add vermuculite, perlite, dolotmite and fertilizier.. but the others I might not have to do so. Do I need to add vermuculite, perlite into the Happy Frog and Farfard potting soil as well. I was told you did not have to. Please advise. The fertilizer and soil are all according to Earthbox recommened media from their site. Why follow? As in the past I had done things like adding just regular topsoil... it did not do so well... got a lot of BSR on tomatoes but okra did well.. Thanks.
which is then the best?
Follow-Up Postings:
In my Earthboxes I use ProMix BX and add 1 cup of dolomite lime and a band of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Then supplemental feeding through the season. You do not need to add perlite to it - it has plenty - and vermiculite is no longer available because of the asbestos (doesn't need it anyway). What it MIGHT benefit from is the "optional addition" of some Orchid mix bark fines. I'm doing a comparison this year with adding it as well as the lime and fertilizer to 4 of my Earthboxes and leaving 4 of them with just the ProMix, lime and fertilizer. I can't help you with the other brands as I never used them. I have heard of the FarFard but it isn't available around here. Never heard of the Happy Frog stuff. ProMix is commonly recommended here by many. Dave |

I've used Fafard when I split a truck load with a local florist who preferred its texture- It was OK. Lately I,ve grown to like the ProMix BX with biofungicide for different reasons. But these companies mix these products up to be complete for transplant growing. I wouldn't add a thing except to supplement extra nutrients in later plant growth stages. I don't think that you adding Vermiculite or more Perlite or more of other conditioners will be of benefit for vegetables you are growing. It is like buying the best variety of baked beans you can find and then adding more pork, more onions, more mustard until you no longer have the great baked beans you spent bug bucks for. Dave, you can obtain Vermiculite but my supplier told me it is shipped from Africa, thus the excessive price. Keep in mind that the "BX" in the ProMix name means that inorganic fertilizer is added so if you are looking to grow organically you will want the unfortified versions, probably similar to the later types you listed. |
The BX is a natural biofungicide, the same ingredient that is in Serenade, sold as an OMRI certified organic product. Promix is a good product without any additions needed at planting time. |
- Posted by bmoser z6PA (email@example.com) on Mon, Mar 28, 11 at 13:14
I rechecked the LABEL. BX does have fertilizer as an ingredient. The natural biofungicide (Bacilis subtilis) is another ingredient that would meet OMRI approval but the two together would not. |

The Bachelor 2013 Spoilers: Sean Lowe Final 2!
An all-new season of The Bachelor is airing on ABC tonight and fans can't wait to find out what happens this season! As always, we have all of the amazing spoilers (via RealitySteve, of course) for the 2013 season and we can't wait to share all the juicy details with you!
So, let's get started. You know the drill – if you don't want to know what happens this season, stop reading now. We're about to reveal some major spoilers!
The Bachelor 2013 Final 4: The final four contestants this season will be Catherine, Ashlee, Lindsay and Desiree. After the hometown dates, Desiree will be eliminated, followed by Ashlee on the fantasy date episode.
The Bachelor 2013 Final 2: This, obviously, leaves Catherine and Lindsay as the final two. The final rose ceremony this season won't feature any dramatic ending, other than Sean leaving one woman brokenhearted. The final rose ceremony plays out as many have in the past: both of the final two women show up and Sean gives the final rose to one and sends the other home. So who gets the final rose?
Providing Reality Steve is correct, the woman who is currently engaged to Sean is Catherine!
I know it's only the beginning of the season but do you think Sean made a good choice?
Be sure to check back every week as we will have detailed spoilers of every episode, including who's eliminated each week!
i think that Leslie should be the perfect match for Sean I mean, i think i would be good for Sean!
hahahahahahahah your so funny you should be a comendiam u are so f-in wrong
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Catherine, she is very very pretty and she is a down to earth kind of person, so everyone has their opinion and that is mine. She is not only pretty on the outside, but has a good heart to, why is it that everyone bases relationships on looks alone from the outside only? Think about it.
Sean should really pick sarah to be his wife! she is a pretty , nice , kind& loving person! i love her! sean would be the perfect man for her!
What about Tierra?
I think Sean should pick Catherine.
Finally Tierra going bye bye tonight,I'm sure Sean make the right decision to send her home.
Unfortunate that he picks Catherine over Lindsay…but he isn't that exciting of a guy so I guess boring Catherine will fit him…….yawn
Sean would be perfect with lindsay
It's lindsay who is boring. Nothing, not memorable, blah. Catherine is adventurous and outdoorsy like Sean. She is pretty even without make-up and her family loves Sean. I couldn't be happier with the choice.
Sean should marry Lindsay. there core values and morales as well as their love for each other glows! Think their relationship in marriage would last – any other than Lindsay would fail. Catherine's background is too different from his for it to succeed.
I definitley think he should pick Catherine, she may be young but I think they are a good match and they compliment each other, I think the background differences would make for an interesting life and they could learn from each other. But we will just have to wait and see, but as I watch them together I can gaurantee you he will pick her, I can just tell when I watch him look at her its a look I dont see him have with the other young ladies.
I definately think he should choose lindsay! She is perfect and seems to have the samw family values as he does
I hope Sean picks Lindsay
Catherine all the way. Sean can say anything he wants to say. Its soo obvious whom he is in love with. He can argue how pretty, woderful, nice, passionate, same values, same faith as him with the other ladies but he cant fight his feelings. I still believe he will follow his heart. Individual differences in values, faith and backgroud maybe a factor on how to work thecrelationship out but he has to make sure that love should be present to work all this things out. I think Sean is still the best Bachelor there is.
Why does it seem Sean's face is always sweaty.? Kind of a turn off.
I love Lindsay so I hope he pick s her but never know h

On September 3 the jury found Tyrrell guilty of three counts of felony menacing. Barnhill asked Peterson if bondsman Keener would be willing to continue the bond. Peterson replied that he'd spoken to Keener the previous Friday and that Keener told him he intended to carry the bond even if Tyrrell were convicted. The judge had the option of ordering Tyrrell to wait in a holding cell until Keener was able to provide written confirmation of his intent to continue the bond. Instead, Barnhill simply told Tyrrell to remain in the courthouse until Keener showed up. Both Peterson and Tyrrell then paged Keener to inform him of the development; they asked him to call them at the court clerk's phone number.
When Keener finally answered the page hours later, Peterson wasn't in the clerk's office. But Tyrrell was. And after a short conversation, Keener told Tyrrell he didn't want to remain as the bondsman unless Tyrrell could come up with another co-signer who was willing to put up real estate to insure his appearance at sentencing. "It was a spur-of-the-moment judgment call," Keener says. "And it turned out to be a good decision."
Tyrrell hung up the phone and fled the courthouse. He is still at large.
When questioned by a sheriff's deputy about the bond and Tyrrell's disappearance, Keener told the officer he'd never spoken with Peterson about continuing Tyrrell's bond, contradicting what Peterson had told the judge. "I guess he was looking out for his client," Keener says today of Peterson's verbal assurance to Barnhill. "I think he just assumed I would agree to stay on it."
Peterson won't comment on the case on the advice of his attorney, Paula Greisen. But Kriho attorney Paul Grant says he finds it hard to believe that Peterson would have lied to the judge just to protect Tyrrell. "Why on earth would you risk your career?" he asks. However, Stanley and Burback contend in their contempt motion that Peterson's "affirmative misrepresentation" about the bond allowed Tyrrell to escape. If the lawyer had told the judge that he hadn't talked to Keener, they implied, Tyrrell would have been taken into custody rather than set loose in the courthouse.
Two months after the trial, on November 4, the prosecutors filed a motion asking that Peterson be charged with contempt of court. Burback says he and Stanley brought the charges themselves; despite Barnhill's clashes with Peterson during the trial, he says, the judge didn't demand the contempt action.
Barnhill's clerk says the retired judge refuses to comment on pending cases. But he did sign a contempt order, meaning he found Stanley and Burback's complaints viable. Because he has stepped down, Barnhill will not hear the case. Stanley, however, is still slated to prosecute Peterson.
Burback says he and Stanley feel that contempt charges are appropriate because "enough things added up before and after trial that we felt some action should be taken." The prosecutors could have complained to the state Supreme Court if they felt Peterson's actions warranted discipline, Burback acknowledges, "but we felt the trial court should address it first."
"It was a very hard decision to make," Burback continues. "It's certainly something we don't do lightly."
And the case could have heavy implications for Peterson. Burback suggests that he and Stanley may even ask the court to put the former prosecutor behind bars. The court, he notes, could impose "a fine, imprisonment or both, or [demand] a letter of apology. We're not asking for more than six months in jail."
If Peterson is found guilty, the case would be referred to the Supreme Court's disciplinary committee for further action, which could include disbarment. And the high court, says Truman, "does not take contempt lightly. It is serious business. Just the word 'contempt' sends chills down an attorney's spine."
Truman and Pozner say that even though Peterson might have made mistakes, they find the charges against him extremely troubling.
"I'm worried," says Pozner. "Some of these [complaints] are minor-league. If they didn't like what he'd done with the subpoenas, they could have picked up the phone and said, 'Hey Titus! I got a problem with this.' You don't go for contempt.
"Rude to the judge?" asks an incredulous Pozner. "Judges can take care of themselves. They know exactly how far they can let you go. It's presumptuous of [a prosecutor] to say, 'Don't worry judge, I'll protect you.' The judge can iron out the situation right there."
Grant says he thinks contempt charges are inherently dangerous because they pit the judge and the prosecution against a defendant as a team. However, in the past, Barnhill and the district attorney's office haven't always worked well together.
District Attorney Dave Thomas, whose jurisdiction covers Jefferson and Gilpin counties, recently asked the state Supreme Court to remove Barnhill as the sentencing judge in the case of William Lucero, convicted last fall of killing three people when his vehicle slammed into a casino-bound bus. Lucero had been drinking and using drugs the night before the crash and could face a prison sentence of up to 300 years.
But, according to Thomas, Barnhill told a probation officer that Lucero was "law-abiding" and "a nice guy." Barnhill has resisted Thomas's efforts to take him off the case. In a statement he read in court last November, Barnhill said the district attorney was simply upset with him because he wouldn't bow to the DA's demands.

Pick of the Week: Fit to be Tied
You might've noticed in fall fashion color is a huge to-do. Eye-popping shades of fucshia, emerald, blue, yellow and red are it. In that same realm muted shades of fall favorites are also must-haves, too—rust, mustard, peacock and sage are also showing up in tops, shoes, pants and skirts.
That's why I love this H&M bow-tie blouse in orange. Not only is it a wardrobe building block for autumn (you'll see it in every magazine and website if you haven't already—view our take on it below!) the shade will add just the right kick to your favorite ensemble. I can see this tucked into a pair of flare jeans, a curve-hugging pencil skirt or for more adventurous types, tucked into a pair of wool shorts paired with boots and tights.
The price is only $9.95 so it's an insane steal!

The Montessori teaching albums have an exercise called the "Clock of Eras." I felt that would not work as well for our family as DD really doesn't "get" the idea of a clock fully. I didn't think it would really teach them the enormity of time as well as a long set of ribbons would... so instead I used the proportions of the clock and made a very long geologic ribbon (it's almost 60 feet in length):
I used red for the Hadean Era (a time of flaming gasses, volcanoes, etc.) -- 9ft 4 inches
I used sage green for the Archaean Era (a time of great rains, poisonous oceans) -- 17 feet 4 inches
I used yellow for the Proterozoic Era (a time when cyanobacteria and the sun worked together to put oxygen into the atmosphere) -- 26 feet
I used blue for the Paleozoic Era (a time when most life lived in the seas to protect it from harmful rays of the sun) -- 3 feet 9 inches
I used gold for the Mesozoic Era (a time of the great reptiles, among other life) -- 2 feet 5 inches
I used green for the Cenozoic Era (a time with plants, animals birds, humans) -- 10 inches
As you can see in the picture above we used various "props" to put onto our timeline. I had made some things out of cornstarch clay earlier this summer (a small volcano, pretend fossils,etc as I didn't know if we'd have our stuff) -- we also had a plastic dinosaur, plastic mammals and a pretend human (Strawberry Shortcake!) for the very end of the timeline.
Another time we did an activity What Came First? I wrote out index cards and let LD try to put them into the correct order. The cards included things like
green algae
spiders ferns
the first mammals
the first birds
In the picture below, LD is putting things in their proper order (according the UCBerkley website)On the left in the photo I wrote out the chart from the website out by hand as a reference. I found it amazing is that grass came into the fossil record *after* camels (ants, dinosaurs and so forth).
The kids loved when we stretched the timeline through the house and they had to put things in the proper Era (the volcano, dinosaur, plastic wooly mammoth, etc.)
If you want to go even farther with your studies of the geologic eras, these Montessori teachers posted wonderful lesson plans on all of the various eras. We didn't delve into their lessons as I had been promising DD a big unit on dinosaurs all summer as we traveled around and we've moved on to that. We've done lots of hands on dinosaur activities... so stay tuned if you're interested in those! (Oh, and if you and your kids are inspired, you might try making a "trash-o-saurus" and link in with us at the end of this week! I thought that was such a fabulous idea and we've been working on ours for about 10 days now!!)
Welcome to The Homeschool Den! Our blog shares the homeschooling adventures of our kids who are 8 (LD), 6 (DD) and 3 1/2 (ED). In any given week we might enjoy math games, science projects or experiments, geography challenges and history projects, lots of reading, plenty of time outdoors in nature, Montessori inspired activities, and lots of other hands-on fun. Come have a glimpse at what we've been up to lately.

Well, I don't watch a lot of TV so just now getting around to dealing with getting a converter box.
Actually, I don't have a TV, I have an old computer monitor which I've used to watch DVDs and TV thru the VCR. It has a great sharp picture but alas the TV tuner in the VCR does not work anymore. Am I correct that the tuner box in the converter is all I need - since there's a tuner in the converter box I should be able to just plug it into the monitor,no? It has RCA type plugs, 1 for audio and 1 for video. If not... is there such a thing as a combo TV & computer monitor? Like I say - I don't watch much TV. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If your monitor has a video input and and audio input then yes, the DTV converter should work as a tuner just fine. Just remember to go into the converter's setup menu and adjust the audio output from stereo to mono. Understand that with this arrangement, you will only get DTV channels and not receive any analog channels. |
Two more things: 1.) Some HDTV converters have VGA outputs, so they can directly drive an computer monitor at full resolution. (I have an old Samsung SIR-T451 converter box that can do this.) However these converter boxes will not be "coupon-eligible". 2.) Yes, there are a number of monitors nowadays that do have built-in TV tuners. Alternatively, you can also buy TV tuner cards that plug into your computer. You can then watch the video in a window, and use the computer for other things at the same time. |

What Paul Miller Learned from His Father About Prayer
This next post in our series of questions and answers with speakers at our 2011 Conference for Pastors features Paul Miller, author of A Praying Life.
Your father, Jack Miller, is well-known for his impact as a pastor, evangelist, missions organizer and author. What impact did he have on your life, especially as regards living a life of prayer?
I watched my dad become passionate about prayer during my teenage years. He learned it when he was a professor at Westminster Seminary from watching ministries in Europe, particularly Francis Schaeffer's L'Abri in the late 60s. When Dad and I started World Harvest Mission in 1983 that became an important part of the DNA of our work. So the value and power of corporate prayer came from my dad.
The other thread from my dad was his emphasis on the gospel as something that Christians need to believe, that our weakness is the door to grace. I simply took that insight and applied that to my prayer life.
The 2011 Conference for Pastors take place from January 31 – February 2.

Date 2011-04-12 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study set out to explore the feasibility of using international based literature theory to formulate emerging market strategies for South African companies looking to expand into Africa's emerging markets. The level of confidence with which South African companies can base their African emerging market strategies on the literature and studies done on international emerging market strategies is what will be explored in this study.
The scope of this study includes methods of identifying emerging markets, optimal strategy choices for emerging markets, effective distribution channel selection methodologies and appropriate diversification options. To ensure the studies relevance across the broader spectrum of both South African companies as well as Africa's emerging markets, the companies studied were selected for their collective representation.
The research design employed for this study was qualitative and exploratory in nature. The findings based on the eight South African companies studied over the period point to the conclusion that the international theory contained in the literature is indeed relevant to both South African companies as well as Africa's emerging markets and that it can be used effectively and confidently to formulate efficient and sustainable expansion strategies for these markets.

Edward, Gordon and Henry, retitled Henry to the Rescue in American releases, is the fourth episode of the first season. It aired in the US on the Shining Time Station episodes, Does it Bite? in 1989 and Mysterious Stranger in 1993.
Gordon always pulls the Express and is proud to be the only one strong enough to do so. One day, he heads down the line, when he sees Henry's Tunnel. Henry feels sorry for himself and begins to wonder if the Fat Controller will ever forgive him and let him out again.
Gordon plans to whistle rudely at Henry, but goes so fast that his safety valve bursts and is forced to stop just in front of the tunnel. The Fat Controller is cross and orders for another engine to come take the Express, while Gordon is uncoupled and moved onto a siding.
Edward is summoned to take the express, but he is not strong enough to move it. Gordon suggests that Henry should be let out of the tunnel to pull and the Fat Controller agrees. Henry is freed from the tunnel and pulls the express with Edward pushing from behind. The Fat Controller sticks his head out the window to wave to the engines, but his hat is blown off into a field and eaten by a goat. The two keep running until they reach the station at the end of the line and on the way home help Gordon back to the sheds.
Henry is rewarded with a new coat of paint and now knows that he doesn't have to run into a tunnel to keep his paint dry.

- Sir Topham Hatt
- James (cameo)
- The Storyteller (cameo)
- This episode is based on the story of the same name from The Railway Series book, The Three Railway Engines.
- Stock footage from The Sad Story of Henry is used.
- In a deleted photograph, a circuit-board can be seen near the tracks.
- A deleted photograph shows the Fat Controller wearing his hat at Wellsworth despite losing it on the way.
- One of James' trucks has NE written on it in the opening scene.
- On PBS Sprout airings, this episode was given its UK title.
- The narration of Ringo's US version is slightly out of sync from the point when Henry leaves the tunnel to when he arrives at Wellsworth.
- When Gordon says "I'm going to poop, poop at Henry", studio equipment is visible in the top left corner. As Gordon slows down, studio equipment is visible in the top right corner and his drive wheels are going backwards.
- When Gordon moves to the siding, he passes the points and the coaches later change position without explanation.
- When Gordon says, "Edward can't push the train", his eyes shift very quickly, indicating a film cut.
- When Edward and Henry set off, Gordon is derailed.
- While Henry is in the tunnel his face is covered with black dust, but when the close up of Henry going backwards from the tunnel he is spotless because it is footage from earlier episodes.
- Gordon sets off from Knapford and heads towards Vicarstown. When Edward and Henry set off, they head in the same direction but ended up at Wellsworth, which is in the opposite direction.
- Why does the express stop at Wellsworth? The express is only meant to stop at Knapford, Crovan's Gate and Vicarstown.
- When the passengers thank the two engines, blu-tak can be seen on a boy's feet.
- When Sir Topham Hatt stands on the buffers at the tunnel, blu-tak can be seen on his feet.
- James appears briefly, but he is not introduced until Thomas and the Breakdown Train.
- In the close up of Sir Topham Hatt after he tells Henry to find a turntable, his right hand is smudged.
- Gordon's express has two brake coaches.
- When Edward and Henry set off, you can see that as the scene ends, the last coach is passing Gordon, but in the next scene, the coach can be seen passing him again.
- When Gordon slinks on to the siding, the wheel under his cab turns and then drags.

The Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment from Burt's Bees is highly versatile. As someone with naturally wavy hair, I'm always looking for a product that manages a good balance between moisturizing and frizz-control that won't weigh hair down, but also won't be so light and water based that it invites more frizz and flyaways in a few hours. Burt's Bees delivers a home run with this product. It blends avocado, almond and olive oils with a light nettle and rosemary scent.
As a styling gel, a dime size amount (or quarter sized if you're hair is longer than shoulder length) can tame rascal tendrils. When you squeeze the treatment into your palm it has a very honey like texture that may seem goopy or off-putting, but with a swipe through your hair's most deviant sections and a comb or brush through to evenly distribute, it's anything but messy in the finish. The Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment is 99.33% natural, so it doesn't leave the residue or thick smell that some glossers and conditioners have that make you the enemy in the elevator. There is a faint scent, but it's modest enough that it won't tangle with any other styling products you use to make a pungent cocktail.
On the conditioning side, the gel is as kind to the scalp as it is to the hair (which is unfortunately rare in so many similar products). It felt smooth and stayed put without creating a mess on everything it touched that required later clean up. I used my daily hairbrush to brush it through and the brush didn't even need a rinse afterward. It only felt sticky when it first exited the tube, but in application as both a conditioner and styling gel, it was clean and light.
This cruelty free treatment really goes the extra mile; so many conditioners are good only for the shower or only as a post shampoo styling aid, but to find the balance between the two makes this a real gem.
Natalie Nicole Gilbert is a jazz pop singer/songwriter and model who heard surprisingly little about cruelty free make up options in modeling school.

1 "Come, let us return to the Lord; for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck down, and he will bind us up. | 1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. |
2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. | 2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. |
3 Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord; his appearing is as sure as the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the earth." | 3 Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." |
4 What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early. | 4 "What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist, like the early dew that disappears. |
5 Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have killed them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light. | 5 Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth; my judgments flashed like lightning upon you. |
6 For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. | 6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. |

Also impressive is Richards's other large sculpture, installed facing the door. This piece is a tilted vertical slab made of unfinished plywood that leans against the wall and also incorporates shadows.
In the middle of the room, on a low platform, Judish has placed three ceramic sculptures by Florida's Barbara Sorensen that take the form of monumental chalices. Sorensen's work is well-known in Aspen because she has come to the area periodically to work at the renowned Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village.
The three closely related pieces, each titled "Pas de Trois" and distinguished by the numbers 1, 2 and 3, are hand-built stoneware that incorporate small Colorado river rocks on the rims and collars. The bases and bodies of all three chalices suggest the texture of cloth. Sorensen has pressed ribbed fabric into the clay, which left its three-dimensional pattern, then gathered it like drapery while it was still wet.
On the other side of these, along the wall, is a row of six pedestals with a glazed ceramic bowl by Michael Brohman placed on top of each. The bowls are all similar, each being finished in dark earth-tones. And the sculpted features lavishly embellished on and inside them settle the issue of whether or not they are sculptures. They are because they don't actually function as usable vessels.
Brohman studied ceramics at Colorado State University while earning a bachelor of science degree in design in 1991. The influence of Richard DeVore, the famous ceramics professor there, is easy to see, especially in terms of the gestural, billowing forms of Brohman's bowls and the piercing of the surface seen in some.
Later, Brohman received a master's in architecture from the University of Colorado at Denver and practiced briefly as an architect before turning to sculpture, his true calling, in the late 1990s. He currently teaches sculpture at UCD. In the conference room at Judish, accessed through the back gallery, there are a couple of his recent monumental bronze sculptures of conventionalized nudes on view.
In the long and narrow central room at the gallery is a row of wall-mounted shelves that are used to display a series of gorgeous hand-built ceramic vessels by Jeff Wenzel. In the 1980s, Wenzel was chiefly known for his ceramics; he was a teaching assistant for the legendary ceramic sculptor Peter Voulkos at the University of California at Berkeley -- where he received his master of arts and master of fine arts degrees -- and studied drawing and painting with Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown. When Wenzel moved to Colorado more than a decade ago, he turned away from ceramics, however, and became an abstract painter. His paintings, done on torn and twisted paper, are not unrelated to the earlier ceramic vessels in Volume.
In "Red Fish Vessel," Wenzel lays sheets of clay with Picassoid fish painted on them around the hand-formed vase. "African Mud Fish Vessel" is made in a similar way, with slabs of clay applied to the outside of the vase. Simpler in form are his "Envelope Vessels," thin horizontal sculptures that have been slab-built and glazed in stripes. The triangular folds of an envelope have been translated into visible joints in the rolled clay sheets from which the slabs are made.
Opposite the Wenzels is a section devoted to the neo-minimalist paintings and a painted sculpture by Bruce Price. A student just five years ago, Price has had quite a ride. His paintings, which are both hard-edged and expressionistic, got their premiere at the Rule Modern and Contemporary Gallery three years ago; it's been onward and upward since then.
Price's mentor and former teacher, painter Clark Richert, views his onetime student as among the most important abstract painters working in the area right now. So do many others. Last year, Price was the subject of a sought-after solo show at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. His work was also included in the significant Colorado Abstraction exhibit last fall at the Arvada Center.
In Volume, his painted sculpture "Heterogeneous," done in acrylic on board, is a courageous piece. It's made of two rectangular solids pushed against one another to form a horizontal shape. The two solids have been painted separately, and even the parts we can't see have been finished. The joint between them forms a central division. On the edges, Price wraps rectangular painted shapes around the corner, which suggests additional inserted rectangular solids. One of the most interesting features is the mottled, painterly finish in places, which is juxtaposed to matte painted sections elsewhere.
This tension between finishes introduces the illusion of three-dimensionality into the flat surfaces of Price's paintings, even to his painted sculptures. The indefinite surfaces recede; the solid surfaces proceed. It's even more obvious in the pair of small square paintings, "Plato" and "Pythagoras," both done in acrylic and dust on canvas. Each has a white square at the surface which seems to float on gray and cream passages that are heavily obscured with clear acrylic glaze.
The larger, easel-sized painting "Real & Actual," in acrylic and graphite on canvas, is based on the same relationships. A white rectangle filling the upper left of the corner is laid on top, partly obscuring a graphite square with a cream border. Like "Plato" and "Pythagoras," "Real & Actual" incorporates the luminous effects of acrylic glazes.

Palladino: Everything comes up aces for this golfer
By Joe Palladino Republican-American
WATERBURY -- Irv Nixon Jr. will tell you it is all luck. If that's true, then Irv is one lucky son of a gun.
Nixon, 66, recently scored in his 10th career hole-in-one at Western Hills Golf Course. It came on Nov. 11 on the 11th hole. He used a 6-iron on the 156-yard par-3, and he knocked down his ace into a strong wind that day.
The fact that Nixon recorded a hole-in-one isn't news, except that it was his first on the 11th. At the Hills, Nixon has one on the 16th and four more on the ninth. In fact, in 2004 he had a hole-in-one on No. 9 on back-to-back days.
"I used the same club, the same ball, and it was the same hole location," Nixon said. "I had one on Saturday against Tommy Dorso Jr. Then on Sunday I was playing Mark Thomas, and he said to me, 'You can't do that again.'"
Um, that's probably not a good thing to say to Irv.
The Naugatuck native doesn't have a secret: "It's all luck."
That may be true, but you don't amass 10 aces unless you can play, and Irv can play.
In 1963, he won the Connecticut State Golf Association junior championship playing out of the American Brass Country Club, now Hop Brook. He was the state schoolboy champion in 1964, and need we remind anyone, Nixon is a past Republican-American champion.
His career best round at the Hills is a 67.
He might have won more regional tournaments had he not moved and played in New Hampshire for 30 years.
Two of his aces were scored at Laconia (N.H.) Country Club. His first hole-in-one
See NIXON, Page 3C
came at age 14, at American Brass on the old second hole. "That one went in on the fly," Nixon recalled. He totaled two on that course.
Another ace came at Fairview Farm, on the 14th hole — yes, it is a par 4 — but Irv knocked that one in off the tee. There are six total at Western Hills.
"I've played a lot of golf, and I have played all over," Nixon added.
He has played for 54 years, and he still plays five times a week despite three knee operations, two on the left and one on the right. You can't miss Irv at the Hills, hobbling out of a golf cart, slamming every shot down the middle and bouncing every iron shot onto the green.
"If you're a good iron player, you have a chance," he said. "Hey, the holes are short. Something's got to go in sometime."
For Irv Nixon, it isn't sometime, it's 10 times.

There are only three games on tonight, which means you're going to have a chance to relax and really enjoy these contests. Plus, you can probably whip up that risotto you've been meaning to cook for the past three weeks. Big night.
Portland Trail Blazers at Chicago Bulls
With the season nearly 4 percent complete, the Bulls have the NBA's leading scorer (Derrick Rose) and leading rebounder (Joakim Noah). As we've seen in the past, these sort of things always hold up, just like when Flip Murray led the league in scoring during the 2003-04 season.
San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers
It's always worth watching Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Blake Griffin's a highlight waiting to happen. Heck, the Spurs are even playing at the NBA's seventh fastest pace so far this season. Everything about this game says, "Watch me."
Toronto Raptors at Sacramento Kings
Here's a fun parlor game that I just invented — Evans vs. Evans. You bet on whether or not Reggie Evans' combined rebounds and fouls will be higher than Tyreke Evans' points. Winner gets to punch loser in the gonads. Fun for the whole family.
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
I can't stand listening to music when I wake up to play basketball at 5:30 am, so I listen to sports radio. Word on the airwaves is that this might be a handing-of-the-torch game in the AFC South. If not, well, there's a reason this site isn't called The Football Jones.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Bravo — 9pm ET)
The one time I actually watched an episode of this, Eric Snow showed up and was shooting jumpers on his outdoor court. They showed maybe 45 seconds of Snow shooting and he didn't make a single shot. This, my friends, is reality TV done right.

Rosetta Stone Ends Three-Year Legal War Against Google to CollaborateBy Madhubanti Rudra, TMCnet Contributor Language software maker, Rosetta Stone Inc., which has been fighting legal battle with Google (News - Alert) over trademarks for three long years, has finally decided to drop the lawsuit against the search giant. The two companies will in turn collaborate on a fight against the practice of counterfeiting. Arlington, VA-based Rosetta Stone provides language learning software based on cutting-edge interactive technology. The company's proprietary learning techniques, reportedly capable of complementing one's natural language-learning ability, are used by schools, businesses, government organizations and millions of individuals around the world. Rosetta Stone's technology covers 30 languages, from the most commonly spoken (like English, Spanish and Mandarin) to the less prominent (including Swahili, Swedish and Tagalog). In its trademark infringement lawsuit, Rosetta Stone accused Google of selling its trademarks to third-party advertisers for use as search keywords. This, according to Rosetta Stone, was redirecting the prospective clients searching for its products on Google to competitors and software counterfeiters. As proof, Rosetta Stone presented testimony of consumers who purchased bogus Rosetta Stone software from sponsored links on Google that they mistook for the genuine brand. Rosetta Stone, Inc. (RST) and Google have agreed to dismiss the suit and settle all claims. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. The two companies agreed to meaningfully collaborate to combat online ads for counterfeit goods and prevent the misuse and abuse of trademarks on the Internet. The companies also agreed to work together on cracking down on worldwide counterfeiters' rackets. Google and Rosetta Stone hope to improve detection methods, and better protect from abuse brands like Rosetta Stone, advertising platforms like Google AdWords, and ultimately consumers on the Internet. "At the end of the day, both companies would rather cooperate than litigate, and we believe this agreement is an important step toward eliminating piracy and trademark abuse on the Internet," the companies said in joint statement.

Ordinal data is omnipresent in almost all multiuser-generated feedback - questionnaires, preferences etc. This paper investigates modelling of ordinal data with Gaussian restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs). In particular, we present the model architecture, learning and inference procedures for both vector-variate and matrix-variate ordinal data. We show that our model is able to capture latent opinion prole of citizens around the world, and is competitive against state-of-art collaborative ltering techniques on large-scale public datasets. The model thus has the potential to extend application of RBMs to diverse domains such as recommendation systems, product reviews and expert assessments.

"I'm vegetarian and my non-veggie friends really liked this one. "It tastes just like 'real' pumpkin pie!". I baked it 5-10 extra minutes and added a dash of nutmeg. I also used a food processor with blade to really get it whipped up."
"I used this rub last evening on a roasted pork loin. It is all about the quality of the meat but the dry rub enhanced the flavors beautifully. I'd recommend cutting back on the red cayenne pepper a bit because it easily overpowers the subtlety of the sage."
"I made this recipe for some guests who had spent time in India. They couldn't beleive how great it was! I modified by cooking in pressure cooker for about 10 minutes at high pressure. I allowed the guests to add more heat by having Thai spicy sauce on the side. A DEFINITE WINNER!"

As I describe myself on Twitter, I'm a, "Christian, Conservative, Texan, Entrepreneur, Politico. Sigma Chi, Singer/Song-writer, Cigar/Fly-fishing/2nd Amdmt Fan."
I grew up on a ranch near Stephenville, TX with my parents, two brothers and a bunch of random animals. When I wasn't doing chores or going to school I stayed busy playing music, competing in shooting leagues or running some sort of entrepreneurial venture.
After High-School, I left Texas to attend Hillsdale College, a bastion of conservatism in the heart of America's dying rust-belt. During my time there I studied Austrian Economics, Natural Rights based Political Science, joined the Sigma Chi fraternity and made some of the best friends a man can have.
When my time at Hillsdale ended I joined American Majority to help start the Texas office. Over ensuing three years I served as North Texas Field Representative, Dept. Director of New Media and the Texas Executive Director for AM and American Majority Action.
I have since served as the Political Director for the Madison Action Fund, the Deputy Director for the Madison Project and provide social media support and consulting for Media Trackers.
Following U.S. Senator Ted Cruz's election in 2012, he asked me to join his staff as a Regional Director. I served in that capacity through February 2014.
I married my bride, Jennie, in January of 2012 and we have two dogs, a great dane named Shiner and a dachshund named Jax.

Wale Recorded A Song For 'RGIII: The Will To Win' Documentary (VIDEO)
We already previewed the Robert Griffin III documentary, "RGIII: The Will To Win" being produced by Gatorade and ESPN, earlier this month. It's scheduled to premiere on Tuesday, August 27 on ESPN, and documents RGIII's recovery from the knee-shredding injury he suffered in the Redskins' Divisional Round playoff loss to the Seahawks. Now, DC rapper Wale has recorded a theme song for the doc, and it's pretty dope. Check it out above, and be sure to catch the full documentary next week.

July 22, 2013 at 9:48 am #2140
I feel like i am losing my mind, my husband and i have two small children under the age of three and i feel like i do everything, when they wake up in the morning, i get up at 5 on a Saturday, i feed them, change them, bath them, play with them etc.
I have no social life, i hardly ever get the chance to go out and if i do i i have to hurry home to make sure the kids are fed/bathed or put to bed. yet my husband goes out regularly on the weekends, sometimes all day and night, while i am at home looking after our children!
I have spoken to my husband several times about this and he see's no issue, he went as far as to say that i am lucky he does anything at all, as most men dont.
And then i lost it. I also work full time, i contribute equally to the house if not more. yet, i feel totally taken for granted.
Can someone please tell me if im losing my mind? Because i cannot do this anymore! I also need adult time, i love my children with all my heart, but i cannot do this all alone! It feels as if my marriage is falling apart and i am doing what i can to save it, but my husband is either not interested or doesnt care!
July 23, 2013 at 10:27 am #2141Hi DA,
Sorry to hear about your situation. I am married and help my wife all the time just because I enjoy being with her and gives us more time together if the chores are done. Suggest you find a new husband the one you have has no manners. Hope it goes better there.
July 23, 2013 at 10:27 am #2142Get someone to help, evn if it's maybe just ones a week, to clean or iron. Not all husbands were raised to help around the house, so they won't even offer even if they can see you not coping. Best thing would be to work on budget and include help, it will give you some space to breath, even if its only for a day or two…
July 23, 2013 at 10:29 am #2144Hi, do you have boys or girls?
My husband is the same, but now that my 2 boys is getting older and take part in sport, I have lots of me time now, because they want Daddie to help them with cricket and rugby (now I smile big time, he is getting it back by the dubbel), but I must say the first 4 years after my first borns birth I felt like a zombie and that I can't take it any more.
July 23, 2013 at 10:54 am #2147Nope, you haven't lost it. The reality is that your husband sees that you do all the work, and he probably think it's your job to everything. Unfortunately, this will never change. I was in exactly the same position, except that the housewife did nothing, and I, the breadwinner had to do everything. It will continue like this until you walk out one day. Rather sooner than later. If I could turn back time, I would have divorced ten years earlier. All the begging, pleading and broken promises was such a waste of valuable time.
July 23, 2013 at 11:58 am #2154i'm father of 2 (toddler and baby). i get up for them at night, i pack their lunch, fetch them from school, stay with them when mom goes out on a friday, takes them to the dr. Mom helps with homework, takes them to school, but still complains how unappreciated she is, how she is always tired. sigh.
Both parents can contribute. i suggest you make a list of all the things you need to do and tell him to pick 40% of the items on the list which he wants to take over from you. if he cant, pick them for him and then stop doing them. i suspect its more a confidence issue on his side than an unwillingness to help.
alternatively, 'reward' him for helping out consistently
July 23, 2013 at 8:06 pm #2155I really feel for you DA. I'm not saying your husband should do what I do….but this is my daily schedule to assist my wife of 20 years.
I work approx 12 hours a day -Mon to Fri. My wife is a stay at home wife (she was retrenched a few years ago). We have 2 boys. One a teenager and the other 12 yrs old. I wake up at 5:15am. Feed dogs. Go to work while wife takes kids to school. Return at around 5 pm. Assist with dishes after supper (wash…she dries). While working (I do another hour or so per day working) I assist kids with homework if necessary, prepare dogs food for next day and assist with preparing lunch for kids and myself for next day.
Weekend…assist with cleaning up and do about an hour or so work on Sat. I also help around with other things if needed.
I'm no saint I just believe that my wife should not be burdened with everything.
I hope things get better at home for you. It can't be easy doing it all alone.

Longer term, this announcement supports the preference for original equipment suppliers relative to the aftermarket. We believe that airlines are already slowing 737 maintenance spending as rates have increased, and the useful life of the aircraft model continues to get shorter. This announcement will accelerate this process, especially if Boeing is able to maintain the higher 737 rate for more than just a few years.

MOUNT HOPE, Ohio — Amish growers in Ohio account for a significant part of the state's vegetable output and are a permanent part of the state's agricultural future.
There are no official statistics on the size of Amish vegetables sales in the state, but Amish growers have only a fraction of the acreage of other growers, said Michael Geary, executive director of the Columbus-based Ohio Produce Growers & Marketers Association.
However, the Amish could be considered an increasingly important factor in Ohio fresh produce, especially as the locally grown phenomenon continues to grow.
There should be nine produce auction houses in Ohio this year, said Brad Bergefurd, horticulture specialist at the Ohio State University-South Centers, Piketon.
Bergefurd is undertaking a survey of the auction houses this summer to determine the extent of Amish and Mennonite vegetable production in Ohio.
The Farmers Produce Auction, Mount Hope, is primarily supplied by Amish growers within a 15-mile radius, said Jim Mullet, manager.
The auction features up to 400 regular growers and 200 to 300 buyers in a season that runs from mid-April to the second week of November. The auction has experienced sales growth in 15 of the 16 seasons it has operated.
The size of Amish growers is considerably smaller than that of conventional growers, Mullet said.
"The biggest Amish farmers have 25 to 30 acres," he said. While the Mount Hope area may have a total of about 1,000 acres in vegetable production, there are several conventional growers in Ohio with 1,000 acres in one operation.
The Mount Hope Auction accounted for about $250,000 in sales in its first year of operation in 1995. In 2010, the auction took in about $3 million from sales of flowers, plants and fresh produce.
"Local-grown produce is a big deal," Mullet said.
While there may be a perception that most of the produce grown is organic, he said that wasn't the case.
Still, buyers value the Mount Hope Produce Auction and trust the growers there, he said, and added that food safety issues and education are addressed at monthly grower meetings.
FDA and USDA officials observed auctions last year.
"They had no idea that there were that many Amish farmers," Mullet said. "They had their eyes opened when they found out how many growers there are."
With the coming regulation of fresh produce safety by the FDA and potential state or federal marketing agreements, Mullet said Amish growers would adapt.

It's a new day at CommonWealth REIT (CWH). The real estate investment trust announced Tuesday that all of its trustees have been ousted after the required two-thirds of shareholders cast ballots in favor of their removal.
A special meeting will be held on or before May 23 to elect a new board, according to a statement issued today.
Today's announcement marks a victory for a group of activists, led by Corvex Management and Related Fund Management, which together own 9.6% of CommonWealth stock and have been seeking to oust management for a year amid accusations of poor governance and conflict of interest between the board and management led by Bary and Adam Portnoys.
Both Portnoys have been directors of CommonWealth, which pays fees to the management company owned by the Portnoys.
Corvex and Related said last week they had received consents from shareholders representing 81% of shares.
Regular readers of Barron's may remember that Jim Sullivan, an analyst with REIT research and analytics firm Green Street Advisors, estimated that the shares could be worth $30 if the activists succeeded in their quest.
Bloomberg reports that activists have proposed a new slate of board candidates led by billionaire investor Sam Zell and David Helfand, co-president of Zell's Equity Group Investments. Zell and Helfand have agreed to serve as the REIT's chairman and chief executive officer, respectively.
In a world of exceptionally low interest rates, investors are hungry for income. Barrons.com's Income Investing blog, written by Michael Aneiro, helps readers find undervalued securities that offer attractive yields, with an emphasis on dividend-paying stocks, preferred shares, bonds, REITs, Master Limited Partnerships and closed-end funds.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bruce!
Facts about Bruce
- Breed: St. Bernard
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Male
Bruce's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Bruce just turned one year old in May. His family lost their home and couldn't take Bruce with them and they were terribly sad to have to leave him. Bruce likes other dogs, was raised around young children, loves walks and really loves WATER, (no cats!). Are you that new home Bruce is looking for? Complete your application and get started on a "Saintly" adventure!! http://saintrescue.org/adoption_application.htm
Other Pets at Arizona Saint Bernard Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bruce, a Glendale St. Bernard dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a St. Bernard for sale in Glendale, or seeking a St. Bernard dog from a breeder in Glendale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Glendale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Glendale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even St. Bernard breeders who help with St. Bernard rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Glendale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Nerds Face Lawsuit Over 'Dungeons & Dragons' Handbook {Switched}
Jun 22nd 2009 11:55AM This was such a demeaning article. I, for one, have been playing D&D for years. I am female, am married, and have a well-paying job. To portray every RPGer as a zit-faced nerd with no social skills and no concept of reality is unreal. Most people who play are completely normal. We're talking fathers and mothers, the popular kids in school, the local athlete who earned that wicked academic scholarship, the librarian, those movie stars. That's right, they're all sitting around that table rolling those dice. I'm tired of reading countless articles demeaning every gamer with such stereotypes, in part because even the person playing that harmless video game is one of us. Your children are one of us. The PS3, Xbox, even the random World of Warcraft player is one of us. Face it. We're way beyond those stereotypes. So Caleb, grow up and stop trying to pinhole us by making us look like we're a group of socially uncouth teens. Do some research before assuming we're some closeted losers who can't do anything but live in this dream world.
