We have this thread over on the Discussion side, but thought it might fit better over here. Thanks in advance!
We are in the "waiting for concrete" stage right now. We live in Central/South NJ, and put a Vinyl Liner pool in last Oct./Nov. We are trying to get ideas as to the different styles of Stamped Concrete to choose from. We have seen SO many awesome pools here, thought we might get some pics of stamped concrete used by everyone, in one thread? We need ideas!
Follow-Up Postings:
Great idea, bumping to try to bring it to the top, maybe some others have done stamped concrete since the original post. :) |

This is my entry for the BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern Contest 2013 – The Jamie shift dress.
Being a novice sewer and loving the whole 1960s vibe this was the perfect pattern for me. I found the instructions in the book were well written and easy to follow.
I mainly kept to the pattern and only changed the zip to an exposed bright pink zip. I really struggle with zips but I just about managed to put this one in by combining a few internet tutorials and using the technique of 'making it up as you go along'. This is probably the best zip I've ever done and I'm pleased to say that this dress is actually wearable!
The fabric is a grey herringbone tweed with silver threads running through it.

Thank you for all the lovely comments, its so kind. x

Very wearable indeed! Well done!
Feb 10, 2013, 08.30 PMby MojoHollz
Beautifully done! And great job on the zipper, they are definitly intimidating when you first start sewing (well they were for me) but it looks like you are allready on your way to awesome zippers! This zipper is very well done, congrats! I like the bright pink, the pop of color really looks cool.

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 Buddy Ray!
Facts about Buddy Ray
- Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Buddy Ray's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
http://www.valleydogs.org/buddyray.html -- Hi. I'm Buddy Ray. Don't you love my ears?
I was owned by a nice lady who moved from her parents' home where there were people and other dogs all the time into an apartment where I was by myself for long periods of the day. I got scared being by myself for so long and did some things I guess I shouldn't have done. I wasn't able to stay with her any longer.
The nice folks at Valley Dogs took me in. I am in a foster home now with other dogs. There is only one human at my foster home, and even though she is gone for long periods of the day, I have exhibited no problems. Having the other dogs to play with keeps me from getting bored and I don't get scared since I am not all alone. Therefore, I must go to a home where the humans are home all the time or that has another dog to keep me company.
I am a very happy little guy. My ears are always perked up listening for you and my tail goes a mile a minute to show my joy. Sometimes I even smile. Mind you, I can be a bit timid of new people and new dogs at first, but just give me a little time to warm up and you will see this joyful, devoted, loving side of me.
I am house broken and have even been seen using the potty patch at my foster mom's house. I love going for walks and seeing the world with you, but my favorite thing is to spend time with my humans. I love to cuddle, sit on laps, and soak in all the attention you can give me. I really love to sleep curled up next to you at night under the covers -- just to make sure you don't get scared.
Hmmm, what else can I tell you about me? Ah shucks, why don't you just come down and meet me. Be sure to ask for Buddy Ray.
Wouldn't you like to meet me? If so, please complete an adoption interest form and email email@example.com
Other Pets at Valley Dogs
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy Ray, a Gilbert Rat Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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 Rat Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Rat Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

Our raspberry plants were very productive this year but now are being eaten alive by Japanese beetles. In Zone 5, is it too early to cut them way back to hopefully decrease this menace, and prepare them for next year's crop? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well sure you can, but don't cut down next year's crop if summer bearing. And you will lose the summer crop of fall bearing types. Some fall bearers only have small summer crops, others huge summer crops. For example Fall Gold has a huge summer crop. What an excellent raspberry! And since you have the beetles now, your lawn will be full of grubs no doubt. And next year they will all hatch and if you think this years is bad.... Better kill the grubs, nematodes is organic and right now is the time to use them. |
you don't say the variety, so I don't know if there are more berries to come. In my area the japanese beetles are wrapping up. So I would leave them. As stated you need to deal with the beetles. What I do is use beetle traps away from the good plants and I have a pan of soapy water that I knock bugs into from my good plants. I keep the soapy water water at the good plants, and hang the bags of dead bugs in the good plants. I learned this trick by observation, live bugs attract other live bugs, but dead repel. So you have to be fast to knock them into the soapy water once you have other dead ones in there. The dead repel is not 100%, but it clearly helps. Same with have in a bag of dead in your trap, it slows it way down in catching. |
Thanks for the responses. Not sure of the variety other than they are summer bearing. Most beetles gone but moles are working overtime! Drew, you say cutting back now would destroy next year's crop....sure don't want to do that so I guess best leave them alone. Right now they are growing "wildly. I have taken out most of the older canes to clean up the patch a bit. |
With summer bearing cut out an canes that fruted, and the canes that have not fruited leave alone. And you can thin them out. You want canes about 6 inches from each other. Any weak, dead canes can be pruned out. Even good ones if too close to each other. |

It is important to remember that the RunCore Pro V that we are testing today is on beta firmware. We have it from good authority that at least one firmware revision will hit before the product is launched. At this time we are confident that we are playing with final hardware. Since I am taking these two drives home, we will be able to retest when the final retail firmware is ready.

The ATTO benchmark shows that the RunCore Pro V is pretty much limited by the SATA II interface. What this is eventually going to lead to with enthusiasts is finding ways to overclock the SATA II bus to try and squeeze even more performance out of the drive.

My head is still spinning from all the hobnobbing, design dishing, and seriously good fashion that went down at Design SF 2012. Not only was it a party packed weekend but there was also a ton of fascinating, leading edge info about the direction of design. I want to give you the inside scoop, so here are the highlights:
The kickoff for me began with the stunning and accomplished Trina Turk. As a fashion, textile and accessories designer, Trina Turk is well versed in expanding her creative reach and and I was privy to hearing firsthand how she actually has to tone down her color palette for interiors at a private dinner hosted by Schumacher and California Home + Design Magazine. Once again, I forgot my camera to snap a few secret shots of the private dining room at 25 Lusk and try to MacGyver some really secret shots of the delicious three course meal we all enjoyed.
I was able to infuse my inspirational high with a little more Trina Turk the next morning at her live interview with CA Home + Design editor, Erin Feher. My head was nodding along with Trina's statement on the future of interior design. She talked about interiors becoming more malleable and continuously developing in ways similar to the fashion world (i.e. moving faster). It's a good reminder that it wasn't long ago that one sofa slathered in thick protective plastic was the living room centerpiece for a solid 30 years. The days of decorating your home once for the life of your mortgage are gone and I couldn't agree more.
Next it was off to the Go Social Media panel where I shared the stage with fellow designers Grant Gibson and Scott Meacham Wood. In true social media style, the hashtag #GoSocialSFDC was used on Twitter so that even those not at the conference could follow along with the highlights of the discussion. We talked about the growing opportunities for designers within social media and blogging as well as the perils of ignoring these powerful and somewhat intimidating new tools. There were a lot of great pointers especially the idea that using social media as a marketing megaphone will send followers into a mass exodus for more resourceful and genuine content. A big topic amongst the panel and audience was how the booming newbie social network of Pinterest could be a major force moving forward specifically for designers.
Then I was lucky enough to have a few great new head shots snapped in the Kravet Showroom. I love their fabrics and the showroom manager Lisa Davis is the best – we had to grab a quick photo together.
Finally it was time for me to walk the runway….with my dogs. The Haute Dog SF Fashion Show is an annual benefit for Canine Companions for Independence, an organization that provides highly-trained assistance dogs for children and adults with disabilities. The runway show featured designers, artists, and performers with their pooches pouncing Project Runway-style. My dogs, Parker and Lola, were due to work it in their custom outfits with fabrics by Kravet but Parker, always the diva, refused to walk mid-runway. Turns out Parker is a fan of the "au naturale" lifestyle more than the world of high canine couture. Here are a few before & after photos of Lola and Parker:
Lola didn't mind her outfit one bit. Thanks to Madina for her sewing and design talent.
I can't get enough of these conferences! I'm headed down to Los Angeles next week for the Design Bloggers Conference on February 26-28, 2012 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. I'll be sure to report back the goods on speakers Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Bunny Williams, and Ronda Carman and many other movers-and-shakers in the design world. Also stay tuned for the Twitter hashtag for the conference so you can follow along with all the exciting panel discussions. I'll post it on my Twitter page!
[Thanks to SF Fog Dog for the beach photos a few of the runway photos.]

Yngwie Malmsteen plays to impress himself first
Yngwie Malmsteen is a guitar god known for his supremely technical fretwork. The virtuosic guitarist burst into the world of international music in 1984 with Rising Force. At the age of seven, Malmsteen says, he saw a documentary about the death of Jimi Hendrix and was so taken by Hendrix's musical power and prowess that he set about forging his own undeniable virtuosity on electric guitar.

- Ten must-see metal shows in Denver this month
- Think you kick ass at Rock Band? Bet this Cephalic Carnage song would kick YOUR ass
Although his playing often seems more about mechanical technique than artistry, the guy consistently puts to rest any doubts about his ability to play technically challenging compositions, rock and otherwise, with each album. In 2007, he was awarded a singular honor by having his name attached to an achievement level in Guitar Hero II, securing his place among a new generation of fans.
As a teenager, the prodigious guitarist, whose style fuses hard rock with classical sensibilities, got his big break when he joined the band Steeler after sending out a demo tape to Guitar Player magazine. After a subsequent short stint in Alcatrazz, Malmsteen put out an album of his own in 1984, the aptly titled Rising Force.
That album served as a template for much of the technical metal that has come out since. We recently spoke with Malmsteen about everything from the "Yngwie Malmsteen Reward" from Guitar Hero II to how he's kept the music fresh for himself and his collaborators all these years.
Westword: Other than Paganini, what classical composer or composers would you say had the biggest impact on you?
Yngwie Malmsteen: Mostly Baroque classical, like Johann Sebastian and Antonio Vivaldi. The whole structure of inverted chords; in other words, there's an A minor and you can play it C in the bass and stuff like this. All these things I listened to when I was very young, and it kind of became hard-wired. But when I listened to Paganini's 24 Caprices, I realized that that whole structure of arpeggios and all this crazy shit -- that's what I wanted to do on guitar.
When I was a little kid, I liked blues and hard rock and Marshall stacks and smoke machines. I became very frustrated with regular tonic modes. I thought it was really fucking boring. So I fell into minors, diminished scales and Phrygian notes. That all came from classical music. But I maintained the hard edge with the Marshalls and double bass drums and stuff like that. So this was something I started a long time ago, and I still enjoy it very much. It's not something I think much about -- I just do it.
You got interested in playing music fairly young.
I grew up in a musical family. I was the youngest, and my older brother, older sister, mother, uncle -- everybody was singing. When I was five, I got my first guitar. I took trumpet lessons and piano lessons and all sorts of shit. But when I was seven, I saw Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire on TV, and that was it. I said, "That's what I want to do." I started playing right then and there, and I said, "I'm going to play this thing so I can burn it."
When I was eight years old (I got) Deep Purple's Fireball, which was very hard rock, and back in those days in Sweden, there was no fucking TV. There was nothing there. It was a big, black wasteland of shit. So my whole world was that, and I became infatuated with the whole thing. Then I realized it was all blues-based and very same-y, and I became frustrated with it. So at a very young age, I listened to my mother's classical music.
Why has the Stratocaster been your guitar of choice most of your career?
Is there another guitar? I didn't even know another guitar even existed. I thought there was only one. Now seriously, there's another reason. I initially wanted one because of Hendrix and Blackmore and guys like that. But it very much became my own thing. It's an instrument that is very personal and it sort of becomes a part of you.
Whereas other guitars feel alien to me. They're bulky and weird. Also, if I did what I do with a Les Paul, for instance, and I love Les Pauls, but if I was to throw a Les Paul around like I throw my Strats around, they would last for like one minute on stage. Stratocasters are very resilient. They fly very well. They're aerodynamic.
You got started playing live music very young, as well. How did you get hooked up with Steeler and Alcatrazz?
When I grew up in Sweden, by the time I was ten years old, I had bands and the other people in my band would be like twenty. My uncle was a head of R&D for Philips. He was part of the team that developed the CD. He built a recording studio in the '50s, and by the time I was thirteen, I got to take that over. So I recorded a lot and made demos. Sweden in the late '70s, you might as well have been in the gulag in Russia -- the same amount of opportunity. So I'd make these tapes, and it just wouldn't go anywhere.
I saw an ad in Guitar Player magazine that said to send a tape in. I thought, "What have I got to lose?" I was seventeen years old and I sent a tape into Guitar Player magazine. And before I knew it, my phone is singing off the fucking hook. I'm getting all these people calling from America, you know? "You're hot! You're hot!" It was funny because people kept calling me with questions like, "Hey are you six feet tall?" I said, "I don't know." In Sweden we have the metric system. So I never called them back. As it was, I decided to record this record and kind of join Steeler, who I had then joined for about three weeks for a month.
By the time we played around town, everybody was there and I started getting offers from UFO and other people. Then Graham Bonnet came and asked me if I wanted to join his thing, which wasn't a thing. All of this is going to be in my book that's coming out [this] month called Relentless. I have some memoirs that took six years to write. It includes everything. Once I played in Japan with Alcatrazz, it was all over.
You have said that you consider Concerto Suite For Electric Guitar and Orchestra your masterpiece. Why do you feel that way about that album?
The thing is that as classically trained and influenced as I am, I'm still a rocker. A lot of people have had someone come in and arrange some strings over their old songs. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to compose something from the ground up that was composed for the symphony orchestra with the electric guitar as a solo instrument, hence the word "concerto." It was a very huge undertaking. I didn't know if it was going to work or not. In my book I talk about how I went to Prague and recorded with the symphony orchestra there.
It wasn't without hiccups, let me tell you. As far as that goes, it is, in a way, my crowing achievement. Every time I compose something, even though it's for a small ensemble, a rock and roll ensemble, I approach it a different way. It's just that I do it for a sixty-piece orchestra. But I wouldn't say I went about the composition a different way.

Smart Ergonomics - Early Symptom Management (ESM)
Tuesday, April 1 2014
11:30 am – 1:30 pm
N/A (View All)
Location: MassBio, 300 Technology Square, 8th Floor, Cambridge, MA
Not all ergonomic injuries are preventable, but, if an injury does occur, there are proven intervention techniques for positive outcomes. Early Symptom Management (ESM) can decrease the recordable incident rate and Worker Compensation costs by 10-30%.
In this Forum, our speakers Mary Gregoire and Gregory Roth will share their expertise and demonstrate ESM techniques. ESM is a win-win: It addresses symptoms before they develop into injury which is good for the employee, and it decreases potential lost time, production, and Worker Compensation dollars, which is good for the company. Prevention and intervention solutions can be simple.
Come join us to learn:
- The facts on ergonomic injuries - learn the key statistics & costs
- Ergonomic awareness for office, lab, & manufacturing settings
- First level assessment and how to fix it
- How to respond when pain leads to poor productivity
This Forum will include time for demonstrations of ergonomic equipment and time for attendees to talk with manufacturer representatives.
The session will be moderated by Denise Aronson, Founder & President of Safety Partners, Inc.
Lunch will be provided.
This Forum is presented by the Safety, Environmental and Facility Operations and Human Resources Forum Working Groups.
Speaker Bios:
Mary Gregoire, RN, BSN, CCRN, CHC, Occupational Health Nurse, Corporate EHS, Charles River Laboratories
Ms. Gregoire has over 20 years of nursing experience including Worker Compensation Utilization Review Manager, Occupational Health Nurse for Pine Street Inn in Boston, Case Manager at Lahey Clinic, Nurse Manager of cardiac ICU and as Certified Health Coach for a number of local businesses.

Armed with a trash bag full of clothes and a large box of detergent, Nickoy Brown tried to wash the smoke smell out of his clothes at a laundromat less than a block away from where his home burned down a little over a week before.
At approximately 10 a.m. on July 3, the FDNY responded to a blaze emanating from the Scriptural Baptist Church located at 189-27 Linden Blvd. in St. Albans. The fire destroyed the bottom floor and much of the apartments located above, including Brown's.
The fire started in a side room that was partitioned off and filled with clothes the church had collected. The garments were located next to some wires that overheated, igniting the blaze, an FDNY spokesman said Tuesday.
The tall young man, 25, who had lived in an apartment with his parents for the last five years, was preparing breakfast when he smelled something burning. Concerned about his mother's safety, he went into her bedroom — that's when he saw smoke rising up from the floor.
"By the time I looked in my room and looked back, I couldn't see anything. The smoke was so much," Brown said Monday. "So I told my mother, 'Run. Fire.'"
Janet Brown, 53, ran down the stairs and made it out of the building, escaping injury. Meanwhile, Nickoy Brown gathered some of his mother's personal papers, put them in a suitcase and threw it out the window, before making the jump himself. He too, was unscathed.
But others weren't so lucky. Four tenants were injured, one seriously, according to the FDNY.
"I've never seen that much smoke before," Brown said. "It smelled like rubber, wood — everything all mixed up together."
Minutes after he jumped, firefighters arrived on the scene. When Brown looked back at the building he saw smoke pouring out of the windows. By that time a large crowd had assembled to watch the blaze.
"It was like a party. A lot of people were there," Brown said. "There was like 100 to 200 firefighters there. It was a big thing."
Brown said he feels lucky to be alive, even though most of his personal possessions incurred smoke damage and could not be salvaged.
"I washed what I could wash and threw away what I had to throw away," he said. "I pretty much lost everything."
Brown's father was at work when the fire occurred and was stunned when his son told him what had happened. "When I went to his job to tell him, he knew there was something wrong, because I never go to his job," Brown said.
At around 6 p.m. that evening Brown was allowed to go back into his apartment to gather his belongings before being told to vacate the premises. The Red Cross provided accommodations for his family and other tenants at a Howard Johnson hotel on Jamaica Avenue.
Brown stayed there for three days while he searched for a new place to live, eventually moving into an apartment in Springfield Gardens. The Red Cross referred Brown to the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, but the agency only had housing available in Brooklyn and the Bronx, Brown said, and he wanted to remain in Queens.
He added that no one from the church inquired about his family's safety or offered them help. "I am surprised," he said. "Not even a 'Hello.'"
On Monday the sign above the storefront church, one of only two open establishments on the block, was blackened, and the windows to the apartments above had been boarded up. Several vacate orders had been taped to the two entrances and no one answered the door at the residences.
The pastor of the church, the Rev. J. Jenkins Jr,. and his wife, operate the Scriptural Christian Supply Center, a bookstore adjacent to the church, which was not damaged by the fire.
Mrs. Jenkins, who would not give her first name, claimed no one named Brown lived above the church. When asked to comment about the fire and Brown's allegation that the church had not helped the tenants, she said "The church is in the same situation. We have suffered a loss also," before abruptly hanging up the phone.

Daniel was of noble birth, if not one of the royal family of Judah. He was carried captive to Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiachin, B. C. 606, when a youth. He was there taught the learning of the Chaldeans, and held high offices, both under the Babylonian and Persian empires. He was persecuted for his religion, but was miraculously delivered; and lived to a great age, as he must have been about ninety-four years old at the time of the last of his visions. The book of Daniel is partly historical, relating various circumstances which befel himself and the Jews, at Babylon; but is chiefly prophetical, detailing visions and prophecies which foretell numerous important events relative to the four great empires of the world, the coming and death of the Messiah, the restoration of the Jews, and the conversion of the Gentiles. Though there are considerable difficulties in explaining the prophetical meaning of some passages in this book, we always find encouragement to faith and hope, examples worthy of imitation, and something to direct our thoughts to Christ Jesus upon the cross and on his glorious throne.
The captivity of Daniel and his companions. (1-7) Their refusal to eat the king's meat. (8-16) Their improvement in wisdom. (17-21)
Verses 1-7 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, took Jerusalem, and carried whom and what he pleased away. From this first captivity, most think the seventy years are to be dated. It is the interest of princes to employ wise men; and it is their wisdom to find out and train up such. Nebuchadnezzar ordered that these chosen youths should be taught. All their Hebrew names had something of God in them; but to make them forget the God of their fathers, the Guide of their youth, the heathen gave them names that savoured of idolatry. It is painful to reflect how often public education tends to corrupt the principles and morals.
Verses 8-16 The interest we think we make for ourselves, we must acknowledge to be God's gift. Daniel was still firm to his religion. Whatever they called him, he still held fast the spirit of an Israelite. These youths scrupled concerning the meat, lest it should be sinful. When God's people are in Babylon they need take special care that they partake not of her sins. It is much to the praise of young people, not to covet or seek the delights of sense. Those who would excel in wisdom and piety, must learn betimes to keep the body under. Daniel avoided defiling himself with sin; and we should more fear that than any outward trouble. It is easier to keep temptation at a distance, than to resist it when near. And we cannot better improve our interest in any with whom we have found favour, than to use it to keep us from sin. People will not believe the benefit of avoiding excess, and of a spare diet, nor how much they contribute to the health of the body, unless they try. Conscientious temperance will always do more, even for the comfort of this life, than sinful indulgence.
Verses 17-21 Daniel and his fellows kept to their religion; and God rewarded them with eminence in learning. Pious young persons should endeavour to do better than their fellows in useful things; not for the praise of man, but for the honour of the gospel, and that they may be qualified for usefulness. And it is well for a country, and for the honour of a prince, when he is able to judge who are best fitted to serve him, and prefers them on that account. Let young men steadily attend to this chapter; and let all remember that God will honour those who honour him, but those who despise him shall be lightly esteemed.
Daniel 1:1-21 . THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY BEGINS; DANIEL'S EDUCATION AT BABYLON, &C.
1. third year--compare Jeremiah 25:1 , "the fourth year; Jehoiakim came to the throne at the end of the year, which Jeremiah reckons as the first year, but which Daniel leaves out of count, being an incomplete year: thus, in Jeremiah, it is "the fourth year"; in Daniel, "the third" [JAHN]. However, Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 25:1 , 46:2 ) merely says, the fourth year of Jehoiakim coincided with the first of Nebuchadnezzar, when the latter conquered the Egyptians at Carchemish; not that the deportation of captives from Jerusalem was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim: this probably took place in the end of the third year of Jehoiakim, shortly before the battle of Carchemish [FAIRBAIRN]. Nebuchadnezzar took away the captives as hostages for the submission of the Hebrews. Historical Scripture gives no positive account of this first deportation, with which the Babylonian captivity, that is, Judah's subjection to Babylon for seventy years ( Jeremiah 29:10 ), begins. But 2 Chronicles 36:6 2 Chronicles 36:7 , states that Nebuchadnezzar had intended "to carry Jehoiakim to Babylon," and that he "carried off the vessels of the house of the Lord" thither. But Jehoiakim died at Jerusalem, before the conqueror's intention as to him was carried into effect ( Jeremiah 22:18 Jeremiah 22:19 , 36:30 ), and his dead body, as was foretold, was dragged out of the gates by the Chaldean besiegers, and left unburied. The second deportation under Jehoiachin was eight years later.
2. Shinar--the old name of Babylonia ( Genesis 11:2 , 14:1 , Isaiah 11:11 , Zechariah 5:11 ). Nebuchadnezzar took only "part of the vessels," as he did not intend wholly to overthrow the state, but to make it tributary, and to leave such vessels as were absolutely needed for the public worship of Jehovah. Subsequently all were taken away and were restored under Cyrus ( Ezra 1:7 ).
his god--Bel. His temple, as was often the case among the heathen, was made "treasure house" of the king.
3. master of . . . eunuchs--called in Turkey the kislar aga.
of the king's seed--compare the prophecy, 2 Kings 20:17 2 Kings 20:18 .
4. no blemish--A handsome form was connected, in Oriental ideas, with mental power. "Children" means youths of twelve or fourteen years old.
teach . . . tongue of . . . Chaldeans--their language and literature, the Aramaic-Babylonian. That the heathen lore was not altogether valueless appears from the Egyptian magicians who opposed Moses; the Eastern Magi who sought Jesus, and who may have drawn the tradition as to the "King of the Jews" from Daniel 9:24 , &c., written in the East. As Moses was trained in the learning of the Egyptian sages, so Daniel in that of the Chaldeans, to familiarize his mind with mysterious lore, and so develop his heaven-bestowed gift of understanding in visions ( Daniel 1:4 Daniel 1:5 Daniel 1:17 ).
5. king's meat--It is usual for an Eastern king to entertain, from the food of his table, many retainers and royal captives ( Jeremiah 52:33 Jeremiah 52:34 ). The Hebrew for "meat" implies delicacies.
stand before the king--as attendant courtiers; not as eunuchs.
6. children of Judah--the most noble tribe, being that to which the "king's seed" belonged (compare Daniel 1:3 ).
7. gave names--designed to mark their new relation, that so they might forget their former religion and country ( Genesis 41:45 ). But as in Joseph's case (whom Pharaoh called Zaphnath-paaneah), so in Daniel's, the name indicative of his relation to a heathen court ("Belteshazzar," that is, "Bel's prince"), however flattering to him, is not the one retained by Scripture, but the name marking his relation to God ("Daniel," God my Judge, the theme of his prophecies being God's judgment on the heathen world powers).
Hananiah--that is, "whom Jehovah hath favored."
Shadrach--from Rak, in Babylonian, "the King," that is, "the Sun"; the same root as in Abrech ( Genesis 41:43 , Margin), inspired or illumined by the Sun-god."
Mishael--that is, "who is what God is?" Who is comparable to God?
Meshach--The Babylonians retained the first syllable of Mishael, the Hebrew name; but for El, that is, GOD, substituted Shak, the Babylonian goddess, called Sheshach ( Jeremiah 25:26 , 51:41 ), answering to the Earth, or else Venus, the goddess of love and mirth; it was during her feast that Cyrus took Babylon.
Azariah--that is, "whom Jehovah helps."
Abed-nego--that is, "servant of the shining fire." Thus, instead of to Jehovah, these His servants were dedicated by the heathen to their four leading gods [HERODOTUS, Clio]; Bel, the Chief-god, the Sun-god, Earth-god, and Fire-god. To the last the three youths were consigned when refusing to worship the golden image ( Daniel 3:12 ). The Chaldee version translates "Lucifer," in Isaiah 14:12 , Nogea, the same as Nego. The names thus at the outset are significant of the seeming triumph, but sure downfall, of the heathen powers before Jehovah and His people.
8. Daniel . . . would not defile himself with . . . king's meat--Daniel is specified as being the leader in the "purpose" (the word implies a decided resolution) to abstain from defilement, thus manifesting a character already formed for prophetical functions. The other three youths, no doubt, shared in his purpose. It was the custom to throw a small part of the viands and wine upon the earth, as an initiatory offering to the gods, so as to consecrate to them the whole entertainment (compare Deuteronomy 32:38 ). To have partaken of such a feast would have been to sanction idolatry, and was forbidden even after the legal distinction of clean and unclean meats was done away ( 1 Corinthians 8:7 1 Corinthians 8:10 , 1 Corinthians 10:27 1 Corinthians 10:28 ). Thus the faith of these youths was made instrumental in overruling the evil foretold against the Jews ( Ezekiel 4:13 , Hosea 9:3 ), to the glory of God. Daniel and his three friends, says AUBERLEN, stand out like an oasis in the desert. Like Moses, Daniel "chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" ( Hebrews 11:25 ; see Daniel 9:3-19 ). He who is to interpret divine revelations must not feed on the dainties, nor drink from the intoxicating cup, of this world. This made him as dear a name to his countrymen as Noah and Job, who also stood alone in their piety among a perverse generation ( Ezekiel 14:14 , 28:3 ).
requested--While decided in principle, we ought to seek our object by gentleness, rather than by an ostentatious testimony, which, under the plea of faithfulness, courts opposition.
9. God . . . brought Daniel into favour--The favor of others towards the godly is the doing of God. So in Joseph's case ( Genesis 39:21 ). Especially towards Israel ( Psalms 106:46 ; compare Proverbs 16:7 ).
10. worse liking--looking less healthy.
your sort--of your age, or class; literally, "circle."
endanger my head--An arbitrary Oriental despot could, in a fit of wrath at his orders having been disobeyed, command the offender to be instantly decapitated.
11. Melzar--rather, the steward, or chief butler, entrusted by Ashpenaz with furnishing the daily portion to the youths [GESENIUS]. The word is still in use in Persia.
12. pulse--The Hebrew expresses any vegetable grown from seeds, that is, vegetable food in general [GESENIUS].
13-15. Illustrating Deuteronomy 8:3 , "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord."
17. God gave them knowledge--( Exodus 31:2 Exodus 31:3 , 1 Kings 3:12 , Job 32:8 , James 1:5 James 1:17 ).
Daniel had understanding in . . . dreams--God thus made one of the despised covenant-people eclipse the Chaldean sages in the very science on which they most prided themselves. So Joseph in the court of Pharaoh ( Genesis 40:5 , 41:1-8 ). Daniel, in these praises of his own "understanding," speaks not through vanity, but by the direction of God, as one transported "CONTENTS OF THE BOOK."
18. brought them in--that is, not only Daniel and his three friends, but other youths ( Daniel 1:3 Daniel 1:19 , "among them all").
19. stood . . . before the king--that is, were advanced to a position of favor near the throne.
20. ten times--literally, "ten hands."
magicians--properly, "sacred scribes, skilled in the sacred writings, a class of Egyptian priests" [GESENIUS]; from a Hebrew root, "a pen." The word in our English Version, "magicians," comes from mag, that is, "a priest." The Magi formed one of the six divisions of the Medes.
astrologers--Hebrew, "enchanters," from a root, "to conceal," pactisers of the occult arts.
21. Daniel continued . . . unto . . . first year of Cyrus--( 2 Chronicles 36:22 , Ezra 1:1 ). Not that he did not continue beyond that year, but the expression is designed to mark the fact that he who was one of the first captives taken to Babylon, lived to see the end of the "SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY." In Daniel 10:1 he is mentioned as living "in the third year of Cyrus." See Margin Note, on the use of "till" ( Psalms 110:1 , 112:8 ).

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 Dusty!
Facts about Dusty
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Dusty's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Dusty is an adorable little girl. Dusty does have one eye that was injured when we found her. She has been to the vet and he has sewn it shut so that it can heal properly. Dusty's eye is doing wonderfully, she won't loose it. The surgery was a success!! Dusty is patiently waiting for her forever home. All of our rescued kittens have been tested and are healthy. They all have their shots and have been or will be spayed/neutered. If interested in adopting please contact Lorraine at firstname.lastname@example.com. An adoption donation is required.
Other Pets at Long Island Cat/Kitten Solution, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dusty, a Island Park Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Island Park, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Island Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Island Park 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 Island Park 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 Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Island Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

Happy Friday to all.
I'm a mom of a lesbian 12 yr old and am desperately trying to find how I can involve my daughter in LGBT groups in addition to YouthFirst in the Southwest region of Ohio.
I have been brainstorming and messaging many local websites as I am noticing frustration as she is the only person who has officially come out in the 7th grade.
Just looking for a peer group she can identify with...any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks- Sharon
Welcome to Oasis...
If you have one LGBT youth group near you, you're already ahead of many areas. PFLAG is another group that is supportive of youth, as well as parents, so you can see if they have a local chapter.
And, of course, if your daughter's school has a GSA, that also might be worthwhile. If she's out in 7th Grade, she may very well be the person who starts the GSA, at which point GLSEN will have helpful resources for her (http://glsen.org/students)
There are many online sites for support, like this one, for her. Plus Facebook groups that are regional like https://www.facebook.com/SOSupport that might be worth checking out.
Although being out in the 7th Grade with a supportive mom sounds like a pretty good start!

In search of the picturesque – the architectural ruin in art
21 April 2012 to 24 June 2012
From the Renaissance to the present, artists working in a variety of media have drawn inspiration from the romantic and evocative aspects of ancient architectural ruins. Bringing together paintings, decorative arts and works on paper from collections around Australia, the subject of the picturesque ruin is explored in this exhibition through the works of Claude Lorrain, Salvator Rosa, Bernardo Bellotto, Giovanni Paolo Panini, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and JMW Turner; and in an Australian context through works by Lionel Lindsay, William Blamire Young, Victor Cobb, Russell Drysdale and Margaret Olley.

Broto, Carmen, Díaz-Cassou, Javier and Erce, Aitor (2011) Measuring and explaining the volatility of capital flows to emerging countries. Journal of Banking and Finance, 35 (8). pp. 1941-1953. ISSN 0378-4266
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of the volatility of the various types of capital inflows into emerging countries. After calculating a proxy of the volatility of FDI, portfolio and bank inflows, we use a panel data model to study their relationship with a broad set of explanatory variables. Our results highlight the difficulties policy-makers face in stabilizing capital flows. Thus, we show that since 2000 global factors beyond the control of emerging economies have become increasingly significant relative to country-specific drivers. However, we identify some domestic macroeconomic and financial factors that appear to reduce the volatility of certain capital flows without increasing that of others.

A minor is an officially recognized secondary concentration of study in an approved subject area outside of the major, consisting of at least 15 credits of appropriate course work. It is generally very feasible to pursue a minor.
A minor may not inherently overlap with the student's major (e.g., a History major may not declare a History minor, even if the student takes additional History credits beyond what is required for the major). Each minor application will be reviewed to ensure that the student will be able to complete a minimum of 6 credits of coursework exclusive to the minor that will not count toward the major. Students may not complete a minor and certificate in the same area (e.g., Latin American Studies or Teaching English as a Second Language). Approval to pursue a minor does not guarantee the student will be granted the minor upon graduation. To have the minor certified upon graduation the student must complete at least 6 credits exclusive to the minor without overlap with the student's major(s) or other minors.
Review this list of majors/minors that will not be approved due to overlap.
Minors available at UF
There are over 100 minors available at UF.
Eligibility - Students must
- have an established UF GPA of 2.0 or higher (some minors require a higher GPA, see catalog)
- be on-track for your major
- have 45 hours earned
- be able to complete the minor in a timely fashion and thus be able to graduate on time
- complete a minimum of 6 credits exclusive to the minor, credits that will not count toward major(s) or other minors
General Guidelines
How to apply
Students can bring a completed minor application form to the Academic Advising Center and have it reviewed by an advisor. If applying to a minor offered by another College, approval will also need to be obtained from the respective College or department after obtaining approval from the AAC.
Once the student has obtained all necessary approvals, the form needs to be submitted to the Office of the University Registrar, located at 222 Criser Hall (2nd Floor).
Attention Spanish minor applicants: Before obtaining AAC approval, you will need to have the Undergraduate Coordinator for Spanish sign the form.
Microbiology majors applying for the Chemistry minor will need to have a Chemistry advisor sign the form prior to AAC approval.
Minor Requirements
The specific requirements for each minor can be found in the Undergraduate Catalog. In addition, CLAS requires that all minor courses must be complete with a grade of C or better. At least three courses (none can be individual work) of no fewer than three credits each must be at the 3000 level or above. Of the total credits, no more than three may be individual work.
Frequently Asked Questions
As a CLAS student, am I only allowed to pursue a minor if it's offered by CLAS?
No, you are eligible to pursue any minor offered by CLAS or another College, as long as you meet the requirements.
How many minors am I allowed to pursue?
You are allowed to obtain up to three minors.
How will the minor appear on my records?
If you are certified as completing the minor, and you had it on file with the Office of the University Registrar, the minor will be noted on your official transcript. Minors do not appear on your audit, or on your diploma.
Will courses for the minor satisfy the CLAS 3000-level elective requirement?
If the courses for the minor are at the 3000-level or above, the courses will also go towards the elective requirement, except as otherwise noted in the Undergraduate Catalog.
Are there certain restrictions on minors I'm eligible to pursue, depending on my major?
Yes; CLAS does not permit certain major/minor combinations that have an extensive amount of overlap, since the purpose of a minor is to pursue an outside concentration. You can visit with an academic advisor and view the chart below for restrictions.
Can I cancel a minor after I've been approved?
You may cancel a minor by submitting the same minor application form you used to add one, but instead checking the minor cancellation check box on the form. You don't need to obtain any approvals to cancel a minor: submit the form with your signature to the Office of the University Registrar.
Commonly requested Major/Minor combinations that are not permitted (this list is not all-inclusive, consult with an AAC advisor to verify that your intended major/minor combination is acceptable).

WASHINGTON, June 3, 2013 — Over the past several months, it appears that some Republicans and conservatives have started to change direction on some policies, particularly on foreign policy and civil liberties. Daniel McCarthy, an editor of The American Conservative, has some clear ideas on what these shifts represent, and how figures like Ron Paul and Rand Paul are fundamentally changing the GOP.
SEE RELATED: Hipsters reject corporate capitalism, but do they need God?
Kevin Kelly: For those who are unfamiliar with The American Conservative, please briefly describe your magazine/website.
Daniel McCarthy: Both the magazine and website? The website has been maturing and developing over time, but they both started in 2002 in the run-up to the Iraq War. They were an attempt to present a traditionalist conservative view of foreign policy and domestic policy, particularly issues of immigration, off-shoring, and questions of industrial policy. Pat Buchanan was one of the founders, as were Taki Theodoracopulos and Scott McConnell, who had been editorial page editor of the New York Daily Post in the late 1990's.
SEE RELATED: Are New Yorkers prepared to call Weiner Mr. Mayor?
We started off in 2002, and we made the case for a realist foreign policy instead of a neocon interventionist one. Since then we have continued to both make these traditional conservative arguments and to try to address what the position of conservatism is in the America of 2013, which in many ways seems aligned against the many things that conservatives hold dear. If that's the case, then what role do we have in this world, and what can we do to salvage something of what we care about?
Kelly: The conservative movement appears to be in an attempt to find a new direction. What do you believe its future will be?
SEE RELATED: Literary look back: George Stephanopoulos' classic 'All Too Human'
McCarthy: Well I think you can take some solace — we all can — from looking at the success that Ron Paul has had in promoting a very traditional kind of conservatism or libertarianism that was quite successful in exciting young people. That actually broke into the sorts of minds that would be closed to the typical conservative message.
Ron Paul did that not by being a hipster, not by trying to present himself as some sort of compassionate conservative, or some sort of up-to-date right-winger … instead he went back to the old right, people from between the period of the two World Wars. Whether it was to H.L. Mencken or Albert Jay Nock or economists like Ludwig Von Mises, Ron Paul went back to these sources of conservatism and libertarianism and was able to make a principled argument. He did it in such a way that he was able to cut across the usual left/right barriers people have built in their own mind. As a result, Ron Paul was able to galvanize a lot of people, interest and energize people who would have otherwise rejected conservatism.
Now, Ron Paul obviously espouses a very particular kind of highly libertarian conservatism. I think he's a conservative in the sense that he's very personally conservative, and he's clearly not hipster in his approach to spreading his message. He is someone he seems very avuncular, very grandfatherly. Even so, his libertarianism is something that reaches a lot of young people.
I think there are kinds of older conservatism — whether it is Burkean conservatism, whether it's looking back to the Founding Fathers, whatever it might be — which actually do have the potential to start reaching younger and younger generations. This is a far more promising avenue for conservatism than to continue to double down on the sort of Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity demographic, which tends to be older people listening to talk radio and watching Fox News.
Kelly: After Ron Paul's campaigns for president and Rand Paul's filibuster, many neoconservatives in the Republican Party appear nervous that the Party could embrace a more restrained foreign policy. Do you believe this is a possibility?
McCarthy: I think things are trending in that direction, yes. Rand Paul himself is leading things in that direction. I think also you see a number of people in the House, people like Justin Amash and Thomas Massie, and people tired of the amount of spending and the sheer deficits that must be incurred in order to have a massive military-industrial complex. There is a gradual awakening in the Republican Party and on the right to a more realist, nationalistic and interest based foreign policy instead of the more utopian ideological objectives of the neocons. Yes, I do see some signs of hope there.
Kelly: What about on civil liberties?
McCarthy: I think so. It's been revealing to see how weak the left became on civil liberties as soon as Obama came into office. It's revealing because even though you'll find that most leftists profess to be just as concerned about civil liberties as they were under Bush, it's a lot like the attitude that conservatives had towards big government when Bush was president. Mainstream movement conservatives said they still cared about big government, but it just wasn't urgent to them at the time, while it's urgent right now.
Similarly with civil liberties, the left thought we were on the verge of a police state under Bush, even though Obama is doing very much the same sort of things. Suddenly civil liberties can be put off to the indefinite future in terms of opposing government encroachment or trying to fix them, but I have been encouraged to see that there have been a number of principled conservatives, and especially conservatives of a libertarian bent. People like Amash and Massie in the House, for example. Obviously Ron Paul is a motivating figure for some of these folks. There does seem to be a developing civil liberties caucus in the Republican Party. Very small — it has maybe one or two senators, maybe five to 10 House members — but it's a start. It seems to be much more principled than anything we have seen on the right or left in a generation.
Kelly: With so much uncertainty in the world, what advice would you give to the young people of this nation/generation?
McCarthy: Don't get lost in the details. A lot of young people seem to have the idea that they will major in something that is easily marketable in college, and then they will have a particular career track that they can follow. It turns out not to work that way. It's very hard to be guaranteed to have a set of skills applicable to anything. It's more important to be a well rounded human being, to have a deep knowledge of the liberal arts and humanities.
If you're in college I would say study what is important to you, and try to get a deep grounding in the classics of western civilization. If you're able to express yourself well and think on your feet, that's going to turn out to be as marketable a skill as anything can be. Beyond that it's very hard to say in this economy what sort of future any industry has, or any professon that anyone may want to go into. There is no silver bullet that I can recommend to people, young people facing the world today, that is guaranteed to help them along, but just preparing and being spiritually fortified to whatever life is going to throw at you is the best advice I can give. There are no easy technical solutions or easy paths to any kind of happiness.

Within minutes of leaving our parking garage I wished for a chance to take this Mazda RX-8 to a road course. It's rare to experience a car that likes to rev as much as this one and has such a great chassis. The rotary engine is much better suited to track use than street driving because it drinks gas and oil at an impressive rate and doesn't ever produce much in the way of torque. But keep the revs up and this Wankel will provide power exactly where you want it for a track day. There's a lot of shifting required to daily drive an RX-8, but this particular example seemed more powerful than others I've driven. Maybe it's because I've been driving so many four-cylinder compact cars lately that I'm used to not having much torque.
Mazda only managed to move 1134 RX-8s off dealer lots in 2010, so it's very possible this will be one of the last times I experience a new RX-8. Although the rotary engine fails to meet the fuel-economy, torque-delivery, and oil-consumption expectations of modern car shoppers, there's an abundance of personality in this wacky powerplant that you'll never find in a piston-driven engine. I would almost like to buy an RX-8 to preserve this interesting specimen once it inevitably falls out of Mazda's production portfolio, but I don't really fit behind the wheel. When a sunroof is present, I find my head brushing up against the headliner, and there's no telescoping wheel to allow me to slide the seat farther back. Since I'd really want to take this car to a track, that's a bit of a problem. I can't imagine trying to drive an RX-8 with a helmet on if I can just barely fit in the car without one. I suppose drivers shorter than six feet won't have a problem with this, though.
