John Currid, who received his doctoral degree from the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago and is presently an Associate Professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, has provided a very readable and profitable overview of the many and varied interrelationships between ancient Egypt and the OT.
Currid writes his book in a time when many biblical scholars contend that there was little actual connection between Egypt and the Bible. For some, the Bible's references are mostly anachronisms, i.e., references to an Egyptian element long after the fact (and therefore these elements provide nothing helpful for understanding the Ancient Near Eastern [ANE] background of a given section of Scripture). Some regard the Egyptian "connections" as a figment of the biblical writer's imagination. In contemporary nomenclature, scholars who view the historicity of the Bible with great suspicion and skepticism are labeled as "minimalists." At the outset, Currid lays before his readers his intention to "argue vigorously against the prevailing minimalistic approach. . . . A primary aim of this book is to show many firm points of contact between Egypt and the Bible on a variety of levels" (13).
Currid divides his volume into five major sections (thirteen chapters). The first section introduces the larger issue of the significance of ANE background and historical data. After delineating reasons why certain scholars downplay the significance of an Egyptian background for the OT, Currid examines some of the cosmologies of the ANE world, comparing them to a Hebrew cosmology. He contends that the biblical pattern came first and the other ANE concepts derive from that original pattern.
The second section (and the largest section, 42 % of the book) considers Egyptian elements found in the Pentateuch. After comparing the cosmogonies of Egypt and Genesis 1–2, Currid examines the Egyptian background of Potiphar, the confrontation of Moses' rod/serpent with the rods/serpents of the Egyptian magicians, the Ten Plagues, and the bronze serpent erected during the wilderness wanderings. He also gives attention to Israel's itinerary as they traveled from Egypt to the land of promise.
In the third section Currid examines the connections that existed between Egypt and Israel that appear in the historical books of the OT, giving special attention to Shishak's invasion of the southern kingdom during the reign of Rehoboam. The final two sections compare Egyptian and biblical wisdom literature and prophetic material.
In addition to a handful of illustrations (figures, photographs, and maps, 11 total), Currid provides a select bibliography of relevant works dating from 1973- 1995. The book concludes with a helpful Scripture and subject index. The most helpful figure (#1, pp. 17-19) involves a chronology of Egypt and Palestine and includes a select list of kings. Although he does not address the issue directly in the body of the book, this chronology shows that Currid favors a late date for the exodus. At the end of chapter ten, in the form of an appendix, Currid provides a running commentary of the Bubastite Portal (189-202), which has special significance for the reign of Shishak. Toward the beginning of Chapter 11, Currid includes a helpful starter bibliography of works that deal with the relationship of the "Wisdom of Amenemope" and the Book of Proverbs.
A few scattered conclusions made by Currid deserve mention. Although he says that the precise location of Sinai is unknown (137), his map suggests that he accepts the traditional location for Sinai (Jebel Musa) rather than the Arabian location suggested in recent scholarship (124). Currid suggests that the crossing of the "Red Sea" took place at the northern end of the G ulf of Suez (135-36).
Currid could significantly improve this volume by including more maps and illustrations. At several points where Currid delineates various place names (especially those in Egypt), a detailed map for the reader to consult at that point would have proved helpful (e.g., Chap. 7).
This reviewer found the volume interesting and helpful throughout. Currid is willing to offer a unique interpretation in places, firmly interacts with and critiques minimalists, and admits when he feels that existing evidence does not allow for a concrete conclusion. Kenneth Kitchen, an Egyptologist of note, writes that "Currid's well-documented book is a breath of fresh air and represents a valuable contribution" (11).

Gordon Hopes to 'Tear Up' Martinsville
- Oct 21, 2004
- 24 Team
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (Oct. 21, 2004) – After last Saturday night's "greatest comeback to second place I've ever experienced," Jeff Gordon now turns his attention to the Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway and "tearing up" the new surface.
Gordon, a four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, was involved in two accidents during the first 75 laps at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday. Down, but not out, Gordon fought back from a lap down to secure a second-place finish and keep Team DuPont's "Drive for Five" alive.
"It looked like we were going to lose a lot of points at Charlotte, maybe enough to take us out of the championship hunt," Gordon said. "But this team didn't give up and we fought back to finish second—probably the greatest comeback to second I've ever experienced.
"It definitely was a confidence booster heading into Martinsville."
Gordon should not be lacking confidence when it comes to Martinsville Speedway.
In 23 starts at the 0.526-mile short track, he has five victories, five poles, 12 top-fives and 17 top-10s. He swept both poles and races here in 2003, and has led 683 of 1,500 laps (46 percent) during the past three races.
And it could have been more.
After starting from the pole here in April, Gordon led 180 of the first 272 laps before a piece of concrete came loose in Turn 3, damaging the right-front fender of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet.
"That was disappointing because we had such a great car," Gordon said. "It felt like I hit a cinder block.
"The new racing surface is smooth with a lot of grip, but I wish they had waited to make the changes. I thought we had a big edge on the competition under the old conditions."
Gordon, who on Friday will attempt to become the first driver to snare four consecutive poles at the Virginia track, was more concerned with this event than Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway when he heard about the "Chase for NASCAR NEXTEL Cup."
"At Talladega, everybody talks about avoiding the 'big one,'" Gordon said. "There, it's one big wreck that collects 17 cars.
"At Martinsville, it's 17 little wrecks that collect several cars."

The sys admin's daily grind: OpenRhineRuhr
Regional Fair
According to Goethe, the best way to gain an education is to travel. Sys admin Charly went to Oberhausen, Germany, for the OpenRhineRuhr fair last week.
I love open Linux fairs – that is, fairs where corporations rub shoulders with clubs, user groups, and other non-commercial exhibitors. The largest fair of this kind in Germany has to be LinuxTag, but some regional fairs try to emulate it. In Oberhausen, about half an hour's drive from where I live, the Rhine Industrial Museum recently provided the exhibition hall for the OpenRhineRuhr fair.

In August 2008 Ocala Eye officially added another superb ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma. Mohammed K. ElMallah, M.D. is the latest ophthalmologist to join the medical staff of the most comprehensive eye care practice in the Heart of Florida. Dr. ElMallah's practice will comprise glaucoma treatment and surgery as well as cataract surgery and comprehensive ophthalmic care.
After completing his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, Dr. ElMallah received his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and then went on to complete his glaucoma fellowship at Duke University. In addition to his academic and surgical accomplishments, Dr. ElMallah has been a featured speaker at numerous ophthalmology conferences and has published several articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. Upon the completion of his medical training, Dr. ElMallah was referred to Ocala Eye by a colleague who put him in touch with glaucoma specialist Michael Morris, M.D. "When I first visited Ocala, I spent some time with Dr. Morris and his fellow physicians at the Ocala Eye Surgery Center. I came away from that first experience extremely impressed," says Dr. ElMallah. "Each doctor provides excellent care, and is surrounded by highly skilled clinical staff keeping things moving efficiently. This is the basis for providing quality patient care and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I'm very pleased to be associated with Ocala Eye."
Relocating from North Carolina with his wife and two young children, Dr. ElMallah is looking forward to calling Ocala their new home. "Growing up, I've lived all over the country... It feels good to have my family in a nice town where we can make new friendships and be a part of the community."
Dr. ElMallah will be providing care for the patients of Hina Ahmed, M.D. who is relocating to be closer to her family. Dr. Ahmed will be missed and wishes all of her patients continued good health. "I have met with Dr. ElMallah and he is a wonderful addition to Ocala Eye. Of course I will miss my patients but they will continue to receive excellent care with Dr. ElMallah. I wish him and Ocala Eye all my best."
The renovations are complete, and now Ocala Eye is pleased to announce the opening of our new Retina Consultants location. This new office features more exam rooms, a spacious patient reception area and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Dr. Samy and Dr. Kraut began seeing patients at the new Ocala Eye Retina Consultants building on January 28, 2008. This new facility located at 3130 SW 32nd Avenue is where all current and future Ocala Eye retina appointments are conducted. We will no longer be seeing patients at the old Retina Consultants location. If you have any questions, please contact Ocala Eye Retina Consultants at (352) 291-5210.

As you may know, Ocala Eye opened its newest facility in The Villages during July 2006. The response to our new clinic has been overwhelmingly positive, and on July 30, 2007 the Spruce Creek Office moved all operations and all appointments to The Villages Office. (view map)
Here's what our Spruce Creek patients can expect at their new home for eye care:
• A large number of spacious exam rooms to maximize efficiency and reduce waiting times.
• The latest in diagnostic equipment allows your Ocala Eye doctor to maintain the excellent standard of care you have come to expect.
• Relaxing patient reception area featuring a plasma screen TV.
• The same friendly staff of doctors and assistants that you have known for years.
• A boutique-style optical showroom with the widest selection of frames available at any Ocala Eye clinic.
Again the doctors and staff of Ocala Eye appreciate you entrusting us to provide you with the highest level of vision care.
How to get from the Spruce Creek Office to Ocala Eye at The Villages
How to get from the Spruce Creek Office to Ocala Eye at The Villages
Much like age-related changes in your eyesight, the ability to hear a full range of sound can diminish so gradually over the years that it's hard to notice. Ocala Eye patients have repeatedly asked their Ocala Eye doctor where to go for an honest assessment of their hearing, with many indicating they would be more comfortable if Ocala Eye offered a hearing program. Now your choice for complete eye care can also meet your hearing health needs with the latest automated screening equipment and the highest quality digital hearing aids.
Ocala Eye has welcomed Kate Maen, a Board-Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist, to implement the hearing testing and custom fitting of hearing aids. Kate wears a hearing aid herself and has been assisting others with their hearing problems for over 13 years. Kate works closely with your Ocala Eye doctor to assess your hearing abilities and offer solutions that are unique to each patient.
Our goal is to provide you with professional help in customizing an affordable hearing solution that fits your lifestyle and expectations.

The final touches of Ocala Eye's newest location were finished right on schedule, and the doors opened to patients on July 7, 2006. Located across from the Laurel Manor Recreation Center at the intersection of CR 466 and Laurel Manor Drive, the office is easy to find. Just look for The Villages water tower on 466 as a convenient marker that you're almost there!
The Villages office features a spacious patient lobby with a plasma screen displaying the latest information in eye health, 15 exam rooms, and complete optical showroom with the latest in fashionable eyewear like Fred, LaFont, and Gold & Wood.

Cellphones cause wrecks — here's proof
On Sept. 10, 2009, I was involved in a rear-end accident. I was traveling north on Ga. Highway 74, traveling in the right lane doing about 50 mph. I had begun to slow down because the traffic ahead of me was slowing down to enter Interstate 85.
All of a sudden I looked into my rearview mirror and noticed a car was right on my tail. In a matter of a microsecond, between my telling my wife that "that idiot is going to hit us," the actual collision occurred.
The impact and momentum caused my car to cross lanes and I ended up on the median strip. When I got out of my car and approached the driver of the car who hit me, he apologized and said, "I was on my cellphone talking with my doctor and he asked me for some additional information which was in my wallet. I went to retrieve the information from my wallet and took my eyes off the road."
Well, you know what happened after that. Luckily no one was seriously injured, although my wife did complain about a sore shoulder about a week later. The front of his car was completely bent in. The back of my car was completely bent in.
The Tyrone Police arrived and took separate statements. I repeated to the officer what this person had told me. The person who drove recklessly was not given a citation for reckless driving. The officer's explanation was that "I don't write citations on traffic accidents unless there is an injury."
In my opinion the officer was incompetent. Both cars were towed away. My car was towed to Union City to a dealership to assess the damage. My car was determined "totaled" and could not be salvaged. I had to replace the car.
This is what could happen when you talk on your cellphone while driving.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The Lord spoke to me when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his army, supported by troops from all the nations and races that were subject to him, were attacking Jerusalem and its nearby towns. | 1 While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD: |
2 The Lord, the God of Israel, told me to go and say to King Zedekiah of Judah, "I, the Lord, will hand this city over to the king of Babylonia, and he will burn it down. | 2 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says: I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down. |
3 You will not escape; you will be captured and handed over to him. You will see him face-to-face and talk to him in person; then you will go to Babylonia. | 3 You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and handed over to him. You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon. |
4 Zedekiah, listen to what I say about you. You will not be killed in battle. | 4 " 'Yet hear the promise of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword; |
5 You will die in peace, and as people burned incense when they buried your ancestors, who were kings before you, in the same way they will burn incense for you. They will mourn over you and say, "Our king is dead!' I, the Lord, have spoken." | 5 you will die peacefully. As people made a funeral fire in honor of your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so they will make a fire in your honor and lament, "Alas, O master!" I myself make this promise, declares the LORD.' " |
6 Then I gave this message to King Zedekiah in Jerusalem | 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet told all this to Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem, |
7 while the army of the king of Babylonia was attacking the city. The army was also attacking Lachish and Azekah, the only other fortified cities left in Judah. | 7 while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah that were still holding out--Lachish and Azekah. These were the only fortified cities left in Judah. |
8 King Zedekiah and the people of Jerusalem had made an agreement to set free | 8 The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves. |
9 their Hebrew slaves, both male and female, so that no one would have an Israelite as a slave. | 9 Everyone was to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Jew in bondage. |
10 All the people and their leaders agreed to free their slaves and never to enslave them again. They did set them free, | 10 So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free. |
11 but later they changed their minds, took them back, and forced them to become slaves again. | 11 But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again. |
12 Then the Lord, | 12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
13 the God of Israel, told me to say to the people: "I made a covenant with your ancestors when I rescued them from Egypt and set them free from slavery. I told them that | 13 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I said, |
14 every seven years they were to set free any Hebrew slave who had served them for six years. But your ancestors would not pay any attention to me or listen to what I said. | 14 'Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrew who has sold himself to you. After he has served you six years, you must let him go free.' Your fathers, however, did not listen to me or pay attention to me. |
15 Just a few days ago you changed your minds and did what pleased me. All of you agreed to set all Israelites free, and you made a covenant in my presence, in the Temple where I am worshiped. | 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to his countrymen. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name. |
16 But then you changed your minds again and dishonored me. All of you took back the slaves whom you had set free as they desired, and you forced them into slavery again. | 16 But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again. |
17 So now, I, the Lord, say that you have disobeyed me; you have not given all Israelites their freedom. Very well, then, I will give you freedom: the freedom to die by war, disease, and starvation. I will make every nation in the world horrified at what I do to you. | 17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the LORD--'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth. |
18 The officials of Judah and of Jerusalem, together with the palace officials, the priests, and all the leaders, made a covenant with me by walking between the two halves of a bull that they had cut in two. But they broke the covenant and did not keep its terms. So I will do to these people what they did to the bull. | 18 The men who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. |
20 I will hand them over to their enemies, who want to kill them, and their corpses will be eaten by birds and wild animals. | 20 The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, |
21 I will also hand over King Zedekiah of Judah and his officials to those who want to kill them. I will hand them over to the Babylonian army, which has stopped its attack against you. | 21 I will hand over to their enemies who seek their lives. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. |
22 I will give the order, and they will return to this city. They will attack it, capture it, and burn it down. I will make the towns of Judah like a desert where no one lives. I, the Lord, have spoken." | 22 "I will hand Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials over to their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon, which has withdrawn from you. |
22 | 22 I am going to give the order, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, take it and burn it down. And I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there." |

June 28, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster has filed a lawsuit against Black Oak Organics, LLC, CHP Environmental, Inc., and owners Craig Post and Alan Chappell for violations of Missouri's Clean Water Law.
Koster said Black Oak Organics and CHP Environmental operate a composting facility in Lawrence County. The facility composts food and construction waste and sells the resulting mulch primarily for landscaping purposes.
Koster said inspections by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) found that stormwater flows over the compost piles, sawdust piles, and asphalt shingles, becoming contaminated with organic matter. It is then discharged to a receiving stream and then to Honey Creek, where it can seep into the groundwater table.
Koster said his office contacted the defendants with a proposed settlement agreement to resolve the violations, but the defendants refused to settle.
"The defendants were given the opportunity to correct violations of Missouri's clean water laws," Koster said "This office will aggressively pursue those who show disregard for our environmental laws."
Koster is asking the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctions requiring the defendants to comply with the Clean Water Law; to assess a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000 per day for each violation of the Clean Water Law; and to require the defendants to pay all costs associated with the case.

A good quote and a better poem, thanks. You too are one of the people who don't understand how anybody can be bored, no matter what age and that there is more to old age than trying to beat it. |
DH and I are constantly amazed at how fast the time goes and how satisfied we are in doing what we want/when we want. B/c of his physical limitations, we aren't able to do many of the things we used to do, but fortunately, we've acclimated ourselves to what he can do, and still manage to enjoy each other and our life, together. Lilo, you have a great gift in being able to put your thoughts into such beautiful language. Thanks for letting us share your gift. |

Green party press release
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, who is campaigning for an overhaul of current drugs laws and changes in the way that addiction is treated, said:
"The Greens warmly welcome this cross party call for a complete rethink of the UK's drug policy, and the clear recognition of the need for an evidence-based approach to reducing drug related harms.
"The committee is absolutely right that the "principal aim of Government drugs policy should be first and foremost to minimise the damage caused to the victims of drug-related crime, drug users and others.
"However, it should follow this logic and examine ways to tackle drugs supply as well as use.
"According to a recent report<http://www.ukdpc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/a-fresh-approach-to-drugs-the-final-report-of-the-uk-drug-policy-commission.pdf> from the UK Drug Policy Commission, the government is currently spending around £3 billion a year and sentencing 42,000 people annually under a drugs policy that lacks "sufficient coordination" and is often self-defeating.
"Sadly, the fact that government spokespeople have already dismissed the HASC's important call out of hand today suggests that ministers are still running scared on the issue of drugs even as the public mood and expert view continues to shift.
"This is both disappointing and deeply irresponsible."
Lucas continued:
"The government now needs to recognise the reality that the 'war on drugs' has failed - both at home and on the global level - and start afresh.
"There is growing agreement across the scientific, police and legal professions that we need to move away from prohibition of personal use towards an evidence-based, public health approach, within a regulated environment.
"Having called for this public health approach in parliamentary debates, I welcome the recommendation that the Home Secretary and the Health Secretary should be given joint responsibility for co-ordinating drug policy as a positive step towards recognising that misuse of drugs is primarily a public health issue rather than a criminal justice one.
"The government should go further and undertake an urgent review of the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act, with a full cost benefit analysis and impact assessment to compare its effectiveness in reducing the societal, economic and health costs of drug misuse with other approaches."
The Brighton Pavilion MP concluded:
"We support the immediate establishment of a Royal Commission, a longstanding Green Party policy, and its remit should include looking at whether approaches other than prohibition would be more successful.
"In examining the best ways of reducing the harm caused by drugs in an increasingly globalised world, its scope should be extended - with a first step being the decriminalisation and regulation of cannabis as a way of assessing the proper role that decriminalisation and regulation could play in future.
"In Brighton and Hove, which has one of the highest drug death rates in the country, we have already set up a new Commission to examine drugs policy and addiction treatment in the city, taking the views of experts and practitioners in exploring alternative approaches.
"Now the government must agree to a national Commission which not only learns from the examples of countries like Portugal, as the HASC report suggests - but also considers the more ambitious routes taken by, for example, by some South American countries at the UN level."

I first thought this a strange combination when I saw this on the menu on an Alaskan Cruise. The head waiter told me to try it; that I wouldn't be dissapointed. True enough, it was amazing!

All the World's a Stage: Possibilities for worgen and goblins {WoW}
Jul 26th 2009 11:39PM I'm suspecting the worgen and the goblins as well.
It helps to explain the reaction Blizzard also took to the tamed worgen hunters acquired. Blizzard took a stance on it that they were never meant to be tamed and have even turned them into wolves.
We have Gilneas right south of Silverpine, that and naga infested Kul'tiras would make a great starting area.
My thought is that perhaps the Gilneans haven't locked themselves away to keep others out, but perhaps to keep themselves in. Many stories have featured people that turn into werewolves locking themselves in cages to protect others from their bloodlust.
Someone on the forums had even pointed to the Lands of Conflict RPG book, which had an article also backing up the possibility
It's possible with the cure comes the side effect that they'd no longer transform, but be trapped in wolf form. Cured and with their minds intact they then rejoin the Alliance.
With Blizzard trademarking Cataclysm, I don't really get a Maelstrom vibe. The Cataclysm created the Maelstrom, it isn't the Maelstrom. I'm kinda hoping for a Caverns of Time entrance to 10,000 years in the past, the first coming of the Burning Legion, the Time of the Cataclysm and perhaps the Infinite Dragonflight trying to undo it all. It'd take a lot of work as the world would have to be remade whole, but the work would pay off. An Emerald Dream expansion would benefit from the world having already been remade, as it also features the world whole.
The Maelstrom would make for some very cool instance and raid content, but I can't see it being the center of a full expansion.
Ah also that post someone linked to from here that had all the Blues on the Forums acting silly in a post asking for the Greymane wall to be opened and another commenting on the old world needing to be expanded upon.
I'm hoping for Worgen.

Euphorbia, that is. Why do I keep seeing gorgeous, thick clumps of chartreuse-blooming spurge all over the place, while the clump in my garden is....well...gangly would be the kindest way to describe it.
I've never quite known how to prune these beauties, and each type has different requirements. Lower growing clumps can just be sheared down after blooming, or if they get mildewed. But how to deal with the willowy show-stopper Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii?
My favorite all-time pruning book, The American Horticultural Society Pruning and Training, by Christopher Brickell (DK Publishing) to the rescue...Turns out that wulfenii stems are biennial, meaning that they develop in one year and flower the next. Here's my mistake - the stems should never be shortened; in midsummer, after the chartreuse flower domes have finished blooming, simply cut down spent stems to speed up the plant's natural cycle of renewal. Each bloomed-out stem should be cut down to the base of the plant. This won't look as bad as it sounds, because you should leave in place all the stems that haven't yet bloomed. And don't worry, this is a vigorous plant that will regenerate quickly.
So as soon as the flowers on this lanky wulfenii in my Whidbey garden fade, I'll cut it back to the ground. Remember, ALWAYS wear gloves when pruning any euphorbia, because the stems bleed an irritating, milky substance that can cause a nasty rash.

It's been a big day friends! Yesterday, I purchased my first SweetJack (actually spent my money and didn't use my freebie credits from inviting friends)! OXXO Dry Cleaners is my all time fav and since I lived in Florida (where there's an OXXO on every corner) for the last few years, I am a loyal customer. As soon as I found out they are two seconds away from our office in Buckhead, my heart melted with comfort. I immediately took all of my wrinkled clothes (and by that I mean ALL of my clothes) from the move to get cleaned and back to a wearable state. Here's how it went down—I dropped off all my clothes and I spent a fortune! I didn't care because I knew what an amazing job they would do and I knew what I was paying for, but what happens when you come to your senses and realize you need to save a little bit? A light bulb goes off! I checked out our "green" deals online and saw that we only have a limited amount of OXXO deals left. What's more is that OXXO is coming up as the featured deal this weekend, and with not much inventory left, it's going to sell out quick! Hurry and buy yours – I promise you won't be disappointed. Your clothes are organically cleaned, never burned or ruined like at the typical, so-called "reliable" dry cleaner, and can be picked up or dropped off anytime of the day! Have you ever been so excited about laundry? I heart you OXXO.
Happy Thursday all, check in with you next week.

The Combine is easy to love and hate. When the events kick off tomorrow, I'll watch if I happen to be near a picture box of some kind because it's football-related viewing, and I've only advanced to step five of the offseason detox program. All of the cold winter days lie ahead.
But what's utterly maddening is that if a player is a few tenths of a second slower than expected when he runs the 40-yard dash, he could fall a significant distance down draft boards, which especially applies to positions where speed is emphasized (any pass catcher, and any defensive back). It's a tumble based on two attempts at running in a straight line, and not on the football skill associated with that speed.
This is why the Combine is only meaningful if it's viewed as one evaluation tool among many during draft season, with the others being Pro Days, the individual team workouts, and most importantly, the players' tape. On its own, the Combine is useless.
You'll ignore that warning this weekend and beyond as players both impress and suck at the Combine, but it was a necessary yearly disclaimer before I present you with something like this…
Tavon Austin is hoping to run "anything under a 4.4″ in the 40. Says he's clocked a 4.29 before. #mercy
— Will Brinson (@willbrinson) February 22, 2013
Alright, so Tavon Austin — the West Virginia wide receiver who's currently viewed as a borderline first-round pick — is really fast. This is not shocking, but that top-end time will cause saliva to drip if he can repeat it this weekend.
That's because the best ever Combine 40 time is Chris Johnson's 4.24 that he posted back in 2008. Behind him there's a tie for second between Jacoby Ford and DeMarcus Van Dyke, who were both clocked at 4.28. So if Austin duplicates his personal best, he'll be the third fastest runner at the Combine. Ever.
A time like that would be more than enough to silence the anti-Combine rant above, as it's been widely speculated that if he runs anything below a 4.4, Austin will solidify his spot in the first round. Projections are currently scattered, with both Mel Kiper and Todd McShay excluding Austin from their first-round mock drafts.
He's small (5'9″) with short-area quickness, which is why he models his game after Wes Welker, and he'll be an ideal slot option. But with spread-option creativity growing in the NFL, another comparison may be more appropriate: Randall Cobb.
Austin saw limited snaps as a running back in college, receiving 109 carries over his four-year career at West Virginia. However, 72 of those rushing attempts came in his senior year, which led to 643 yards on the ground at a pace of 8.9 per carry.
He's that versatile, and he has the kind of elusiveness in open space that mirrors the movements of a punt returner, with his ability to find and exploit running lanes. His lack of size will generate enough hesitancy to make Austin a late first rounder at best, putting him in ideal territory to be a Patriot, where he'd land with a team that could need another Welker to replace their old Welker.
Hey Tavon, how do you compare to the rest of the wide receivers in this draft, or hell, everyone in this draft?
I think I am the all around best player in the draft.
Oh. OK then.

Unpopular opinions.
C'mon, be brave!
What views do you hold that you know are unpopular, rather it be in real life or on CafeMom.
I think baby bikinis are tacky and creepy looking.
I don't think a woman should have to provide a reason for not breastfeeding. "I don't want to" should suffice.
I think bows on babies without hair look hilarious, but not necessarily cute.
I think people who label parenting are pretentious.
I don't think being a SAHM is a job.
I think people who start out sentences with "I'm not racist but..." are probably racist.
ETA a few more:
I think being against legalizing SSM makes you an asshole.
There's nothing wrong with selfies.
There's nothing wrong with dressing revealing, even for a mother.
Kids cursing is disgusting.
The "It's natural!' argument for brreastfeeding is overrated.
EVERY PARENT does lazy and selfish shit. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. You're a liar if you claim otherwise.
Your turn.
I think all children deserve a mother and a father, present and involved positively.
Well apparently, being cool with a bisexual husband is unpopular, who'd a thunk it?
I think women take parenting for granted

Yeah. Totally Windows' fault. For having most of the marketshare. Stupid Windows. If only you weren't popular enough, no one would bother to write viruses for you, either.
But really. I feel bad for the QA tester involved. Even though, way totally avoidable mistake, it was an accident, and that just sucks. And it should be mentioned, this qualifies as a big IT boo-boo.
This is why you NEVER install anything on the build box. Not even if it's Jeremy Allaire, giving you a totally awesome sneak peek of terrific new technology (well, it was new at the time). But that's probably a story for another day.
Oh why not. It's late, I just inexplicably spilled half a glass of very cold water down the back of my own pants. Perfect time for a story.
So there was nothing like a virus involved. But this was back in the days after Picasa outgrew Mike's spare bedroom (and then living and dining room), and since there were now more live-in employees than couches, we'd rented the apartment next door. Somehow we wound up hosting Jeremy Allaire for an afternoon. He came by to talk about what we were working on, and to show off some new unreleased flash technology. As it turned out, our little company had been growing fast and the only monitor in the office/apartment that could accomodate everyone in the room, was attached to The Build Box.
So after a bit of discussion, the neat new technology was installed on The Build Box. Great demos followed, and sometime after that, the crew went out for dinner. It was one of those really fun nights of 12 hour straight hacking and development, the highly productive post-workday workday. And about an hour or so after everyone finally retreated to their sleeping bags and couches, one of the offsite guys discovered they couldn't build. Big demo, due in a few hours, and no one could connect to the box – there was a small matter of a little memory leak that had gradually eaten up all resources on the build machine.
All in the grand scheme of things, so not a big deal, except for the groggy wakeup call requiring Mike to dig out the extra 'office' key and trudge 25 feet to go reboot the thing.
It's not like the real old war stories, back in the days when a GM was a physical disc that a product manager risked life, limb, and points on their license to get on that last FedEx truck, only to discover a virus on the build box an hour later.
Lessons? Never install stuff you don't need on your build box. Always keep your virus definitions updated. And whatever you do, don't put your glass of icy cold water down on the sofa late at night.

EERE is committed to continually improving the efficiency and effectiveness of its monitoring and oversight activities for financial assistance. Audits represent an essential oversight function and may be conducted by a wide range of internal and external parties: the Department of Energy's Office of Inspector General (OIG); the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO); or other independent agencies or firms. Audits scrutinize the technical and financial performance and management controls of EERE's technology programs and its financial assistance Recipients. Individually, these audits have helped inform and strengthen EERE's monitoring activities. Collectively, they can help to identify and address common issues.
The EERE Office of Project Management and Evaluation (PME) has undertaken an analysis of audit findings in pursuit of cross-cutting trends and lessons learned. Building on an earlier audit analysis which reviewed the findings of approximately 60 such audits undertaken between February 2009 and May 2011, PME is working to eliminate the sources of problems, increase its own efficiency and accountability, and promulgate these improved practices across EERE's technology programs.
EERE's new audit analysis involves an updated and expanded investigation of all audits, including many that were not completed during the original review. The results of this analysis will create opportunities for EERE to improve the financial assistance process for Applicants and Recipients, increase EERE's understanding of the financial health and technical performance of its financial assistance portfolio, and enable staff and senior managers to act on this information. EERE looks forward to sharing the findings of this expanded analysis with its stakeholders and to implementing the steps to realize continual improvement in monitoring and oversight.

As many pet owners are aware, when it comes to keeping your dog within a confined area, the only thing more effective than building a real fence is to create an "invisible" radio fence and then, whenever he attempts to cross it, administer a mild electric shock to your pooch. This approach may keep your dog from leaving the yard, but what is a behaviorist pet owner to do when he wants to restrict his animal to, say, 2 or 3 sq. ft.?
The answer, it appears, has arrived in the form of a new "Wireless Pet Crate" from PetSafe. It's called the Stay! Mat, and when PetSafe says "stay!" it means "STAY!" If your dog leaves the mat, a weight sensor sends a signal to a special collar that will beep, and then administer one of four levels of "static correction" (i.e. "electric shock") to remind Fido to get back on his mat and stay there.
The company says that two weeks of training are required to teach your dog the rules of the Stay! Mat. (Those rules, of course, are "don't move" and "life is sometimes cruel and painful.") Pet owners are advised to pay close attention to their dog's reactions during training to find the static correction level best suited for your dog. "If your dog looks puzzled or confused," owners are advised, "these are signs that your dog is feeling the correction and that everything is working properly." Likewise, "if your dog whimpers, appears anxious and tries to run away," owners are reminded that the system is working just fine. If, on the other hand, your dog falls to his mat and whines in despair at the Hobbesian cruelty of his existence, well, then, apparently the mat is still working. —Glenn Derene
Freeze, Pooch! Dogs will find their new Stay! Mat wireless pet crate makes a convincing (and shocking) argument against moving. PetSafe

I have found one pretty good past link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0917573915957.html Although I'm hoping for some updates. I will have a small U shaped kitchen, and I cook/bake a lot. Plus I cater. I think closed (glass door cabinets) and open shelves will be a great mix for me. I have found some more examples on Houzz. This first one is more of a custom cabinet with the bottom of the cabinet acting as an open shelf. Although pretty I'm not sure if I like it as much. I'm also afraid if I don't like the open shelves then I won't be able to change it or the height of the shelf because it will be a part of the cabinet. This one looks like the open shelf is at 18" above the counter (guessing from the stand mixer being under the shelf). I do like it but am worried the above cabinet would be too tall for me (I'm only 4'11). This one is closer to what I was thinking although this shelf looks a little close to the counter. After reading the above thread I posted it seems like a good idea to at least start a test at having an open shelf at 10" off of the counter. The only thing I will have on the counters will be my stand mixer (I don't use a toaster or coffee/tea anything, and my microwave will be in an upper cabinet). I was thinking about putting an open shelf under each run of cabinets. I will use the shelves for seasonings, measuring glasses, some mixing bowls, some plates, glasses, and maybe platters I use everyday. I know anything else on there will just get dusty, and I'm not into washing before I use stuff. So any updates on the open shelves under cabinets? I do like the look of floating shelves and have a really nice one now my husband built me for the bathroom. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a skinny open shelf under one kitchen cab. It's only a little over 3" wide but I find it handy for the salt and pepper, some spices, etc. Strongly considering doing the same type of thing in the reno kitchen. Also have deeper open shelves by my prep area that holds measuring cups, serving bowls, some canisters etc. I am a fan of open shelves. It's nice to be able to grab something and not have to open something to get at everything. Here is my skinny shelf. I think I'd like it lower down rather than up high where it is: |
I love the idea of having opened shelves. I'm a short person too (5'3"). I like the first photo because it doesn't look so much like after thought. The last one seems a bit to o low. |
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 23:30
I think the last one is a little low. My crappy little toaster oven happens to be ten inches tall and the top is exactly ten inches deep. So guess what I was doing tonight? I can fit most of my mixing bowls and dishes on there. |
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 23:34
Deedles- I like your shelves and am happy to hear you are thinking about putting them in again. Id rather have even a very shallow shelf for seasonings and timers then have them on the counter where I'm bumping into it during prep or rolling dough. |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 8:00
.Seems like mixing and measuring bowls would be better stacked and in a drawer-wouldn't that be about perfect for your physical height and ergonomics. I have too many spices to line up on a shelf-they'd take too much space-besides some get used less frequently and yet having them all in one place is superioor/I'd therefore far more prefer a spice insert in a top drawer. Roll out pantry drawers can be various widths-from 6 to 15 inches/with or without sides and adjustable or not.....if you calculate even one stack of rollout pantry with 3 shelves at 12 in wide I think you'd get a lot more efficiency than lining up your items that you mentionned on a 9 or 12 in deep single shelf. Have you seen all the ways roll out or pull out base cabinets can be configured? For your issues with height I'd be gangbusters about drawers.Nothing wrong with some plates and mugs on a shelf/but platters/mixing bowls measuring vessels/spices-much more efficient done in base cabs. |
We have open shelves perhaps 5" under our upper cabinets. I had the carpenter put curved end pueces on my cabinets that extend down below the uppers, and the shelves are attached to these. We store sauces and seasonings on these. I like them a lot. But, this also means my kitchen does not look like a magazine shoot kitchen where everything is sterile and immaculate and doesn't look like people really live there. |
I'm confused by the original poster. You say you recognize that things will get dirty and aren't into washing things before using them but then you also mention putting plates, glasses, mixing bowls, measuring cups, and platters on there. Won't those things get dusty? Its good you recognize the limitations of a shelf, but it doesn't seem compatible with how you want to use it. Unless you are just goign to put decorative items on there or items that don't need to be washed before being used, I dont think its a good idea for you. |

Wooh we're in the middle of a blizzard! Being trapped inside makes me want to cook. Herbflavor~I originally had wanted everything in drawers, but my kitchen will be around 8'x10' so I was trying to free up as much space as possible to make sure I don't have to store things in the basement or something. I was testing last night on my toaster oven which happens to be be the exact height and depth of the (maybe floating shelves) I would use, and it was perfect for my arms reach. I store my mixing bowls under counter (although not in a drawer), and it's a pain. I use a lot of mixing bowls. Needinfo1~I know my little place will be far from Parade of Homes worthy. It is a very modest little house (960 sq ft), and the little U shaped kitchen will NOT be open to the living room. It will be nice to not have to worry about keeping my kitchen amazingly beautiful so I can really cook. Oh, and did I mention I'm a messy cook. : ( |
Keep in mind that spices stored in clear containers exposed to light and heat will degrade faster. They might look pretty, but they won't taste as good. Then again if you go through spices fairly quickly you might not notice it as much. |

Realism~Maybe I just thought about it but didn't post at the top. I'm only putting things on the shelves I use everyday. I am a SAHM and make everything from scratch. I also have a small catering business. I know it may be hard to believe, but it's not unusual to go through a couple of sets of mixing bowls in a day not to mention several plates, and bowls. Also after I plate food I like to put the extra on pretty platters (I collect Fiestaware) so they too get washed every day. |
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 10:52
Mama_goose~I do like your shelves. I think your kitchen is wonderful and comfortable which is exactly what I am hoping for. I do go through spices (both for baking and cooking) pretty quickly, but then I have a couple I only use occasionally so I'm not sold on having them out in the open. I may go with a drawer for those. Clueless~I really like that kitchen. I really love those shelves. It's funny because the house plan I fell in love with is from Southern Living so it would be cool to use ideas from other houses featured in the mag. Okay maybe not that cool but still. Very charming. |

Nosoccermom~I remember seeing that kitchen but totally blanked on the shelves. Thanks for bringing it back. I do like that they went a different route on hanging the shelves. Our first home had a very small galley kitchen with an empty (non window) wall at the end so we hung a steel pipe with chain from the attic to hold all of my pots and utensils. I thought it was pretty sharp. Joyce~I remember that post too! Now that I'm looking at it in a different way that is a neat way to have shelves between cabinets. I do like it. I suppose this will be a good way to go to not make it look like an afterthought. |
- Posted by robotropolis (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 11:21
You commented on this image I posted elsewhere-- this is still my fave example. It looks custom but also easily undoable with longer doors if it turns out to be unbearable -- BUT, would only work if the cabinets were hung at 16-18" from the counter so the shelves might be too high for you. |
- Posted by IowaCommute (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 13:12
Robotropolis~I do love that kitchen, and that color would be such a fun color to paint the cabinets. My uppers are 15 1/2" off of the counters now. I can very easily reach things off of the first shelf and a slight stretch for the second shelf. Although to get to the top shelf I have to imagine my body is elastic and stand on my tip toes (or get out my footstool which I probably should do anyway). We're also going to have 8'6" ceilings at the new house, and I want the cabinets to go all the way to the ceiling with maybe a 6" crown. So I guess I will try to imagine just a taller cabinet. Hmmm I don't think it would really make a big difference to me because at least half of the time I have to get the step stool for the top shelf anyway. |

He issues statement on higher education reform bill
Following the House Education and Labor Committee's passage of the College Affordability and Opportunity Act, the panel's senior Republican, Buck McKeon issued the following statement:
"The road to higher education reform has been a long one, with many hard-fought battles. It has taken time to build a coalition in support of these reforms, but the legislation is stronger because of it. Chairman Miller deserves great credit for his willingness to work in a bipartisan fashion to develop a consensus bill, and I was pleased to lend my support to its passage.
"The bill approved by our committee reflects many of the policy goals identified by Republicans at the outset of this reauthorization in 2003. It will hold colleges and universities accountable for excessive tuition increases. It will increase sunshine and transparency, not just in college costs and financial aid but also within institutions themselves. And it will simplify the financial aid application process to make it more understandable and available earlier.
"Although the bill makes great progress, there is additional work to be done. For instance, I appreciate the move to modify the archaic 90/10 rule, and I hope we can build on that effort by exploring more equitable recognition of diverse institutions of higher education. The current dual definition of institution of higher education unnecessarily limits opportunities for students at proprietary institutions, which often work to serve at-risk populations. I am disappointed that innovative teacher performance pay opportunities were stripped from the law, backpedaling from our efforts to enhance these creative strategies to improve student achievement and reward teacher performance. And it's difficult to understand the majority's unwillingness to accept the principles of an Academic Bill of Rights when such protections for academic freedom were endorsed by the higher education community more than two years ago.
"As the full House of Representatives prepares to take up this legislation, I will continue to work tirelessly with members on both sides of the aisle to strengthen protections for students and taxpayers and update our higher education system to more fully meet the needs of a growing and changing student population."

It was never meant to be for Yunel Escobar in Miami. The situation was just too perfect – shamed Cuban ex-pat gets a second chance in his adopted home, playing before dozens of indifferent Marlins fans and a few excited Cubanos. Sadly, this dream will never become reality.
With the Marlins planning to use the other Cuban shortstop acquired from Toronto, Adeiny Hechavarria, as their everyday shortstop, Yunel expressed his desire to leave Miami in a Miami Sun-Sentinel report today. The former Brave and Blue Jay believes his skills as a shortstop would be wasted at third base, stating there are enough teams in the league for both Hechavarria and himself to find steady work at short.
Turns out Escobar didn't have to wait long to his dreams to come true. Just as Rays fans and writers have long wished, the Island of Misfit Toys is about to get another lost soul. Reports suggest the Tampa Bay Rays are close to acquiring Escobar from the Marlins in exchange for Rays shortstop prospect Derek Dietrich, the Rays number 15 prospect in Fangraps preseason rankings coming off a strong season at Double-A. The deal was first reported by The Knobler.
The Rays make no bones about their willingness to ride with the Devil himself if it means another 90 wins plucked out thin air. The All Shortstops Everywhere attack in Tampa Bay worked well at the end of the season with super-utility guy Ben Zobrist seeing the bulk of the action down the stretch there, but with Escobar in the mix the Rays can move Zobrist back to right field or second base as the situation dictates, making better use of Ryan Roberts and the myriad of other players capable of suiting up at just about every position on the diamond.
Escobar finds himself in nearly the identical situation he was in after the 2010 season. Stock way down with questions regarding his viability and attitude swirling. Escobar responded with a tremendous 2011 season in which he resumed walking at his career rate and hitting for a little bit of power in Toronto, posting a .348 wOBA and 4 fWAR.
As a shortstop, the offensive bar is set impossibly low. Even without slugging much more than .300 in 2010 and 2012, Escobar still provides nearly league-average production at shortstop. His big body might require a move to third base at some point but he remains a capable defensive shortstop for a very reasonable price. The Blue Jays signed Escobar to an incredibly friendly deal, paying him $5 Mil for 2013 with identical team options for the following two seasons.
The Rays get their man – a cheap shortstop who could end up being very good with a decently high floor. His steadying presence in the lineup allows Joe Maddon to play jazz with the rest of his movable pieces as the Rays inevitably confound their way into the playoff picture for the sixth straight year. Getting a little tiresome, if you ask me.
