New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I was still being held as a prisoner. I was kept in the courtyard of the guard. Then another message came to me from the Lord. He said, | 1 While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: |
2 "I made the earth. I formed it. And I set it in place. The LORD is my name. | 2 "This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it--the LORD is his name: |
3 Call out to me. I will answer you. I will tell you great things you do not know. You will not be able to understand them." | 3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' |
4 The LORD is the God of Israel. He speaks about the houses in Jerusalem. He talks about the royal palaces of Judah. The people had torn many of them down. They had used their stones to strengthen the city walls against attack. | 4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege ramps and the sword |
5 That was during their fight with the armies of Babylonia. The LORD says, "The houses will be filled with dead bodies. They will be the bodies of the men I will kill when my anger burns against them. I will hide my face from this city. That is because its people have committed so many sins. | 5 in the fight with the Babylonians: 'They will be filled with the dead bodies of the men I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness. |
6 "But now I will bring health and healing to Jerusalem. I will heal my people. I will let them enjoy great peace and security. | 6 " 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. |
7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from the places where they have been taken. I will build up the nation again. It will be just as it was before. | 7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. |
8 "I will wash from its people all of the sins they have committed against me. And I will forgive all of the sins they committed when they turned away from me. | 8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. |
9 "Then this city will bring me fame, joy, praise and honor. All of the nations on earth will hear about the good things I do for this city. They will see the great success and peace I give it. Then they will be filled with wonder. And they will tremble with fear." | 9 Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.' |
10 The LORD says, "You say about this place, 'It's a dry and empty desert. It doesn't have any people or animals in it.' The towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem are now deserted. So they do not have any people or animals living in them. But happy sounds will be heard there once more. | 10 "This is what the LORD says: 'You say about this place, "It is a desolate waste, without men or animals." Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither men nor animals, there will be heard once more |
11 They will be the sounds of joy and gladness. The voices of brides and grooms will fill the streets. "And the voices of those who bring thank offerings to my house will be heard there. They will say, 'Give thanks to the LORD who rules over all, because he is good. His faithful love continues forever.' That is because I will bless this land with great success again. It will be as it was before," says the Lord. | 11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, "Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the LORD. |
12 The LORD who rules over all says, "This place is a desert. It does not have any people or animals in it. But there will again be grasslands near all of its towns. Shepherds will rest their flocks there. | 12 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In this place, desolate and without men or animals--in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks. |
13 Flocks will again pass under the hands of shepherds as they count their sheep," says the Lord. "That will be done in the towns of the central hill country. It will be done in the western hills and the Negev Desert. It will be done in the territory of Benjamin. And it will be done in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah. | 13 In the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev, in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand of the one who counts them,' says the LORD. |
14 "A new day is coming," announces the Lord. "At that time my gracious promise to my people will come true. I made it to the people of Israel and the people of Judah. | 14 " 'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. |
15 "In those days and at that time I will make a true and rightful Branch grow from David's royal line. He will do what is fair and right in the land. | 15 " 'In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line; he will do what is just and right in the land. |
16 In those days Judah will be saved. Jerusalem will live in safety. And it will be called The LORD Who Makes Us Right With Himself." | 16 In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.' |
17 The LORD says, "David will always have a son to sit on the throne of the nation of Israel. | 17 For this is what the LORD says: 'David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, |
18 "The priests, who are Levites, will always have a man to serve me. He will sacrifice burnt offerings. He will burn grain offerings. And he will offer sacrifices." | 18 nor will the priests, who are Levites, ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.' " |
19 A message came to me from the Lord. | 19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
20 He said, "Could you ever break my covenant with the day? Could you ever break my covenant with the night? Could you ever stop day and night from coming at their appointed times? | 20 "This is what the LORD says: 'If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, |
21 Only then could my covenant with my servant David be broken. Only then could my covenant with the Levites who serve me as priests be broken. Only then would David no longer have someone from his family line to rule on his throne. | 21 then my covenant with David my servant--and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me--can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. |
22 "Here is what I will do for my servant David. And here is what I will do for the Levites who serve me. I will make their children after them as many as the stars in the sky. And I will make them as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. It will be impossible to count them." | 22 I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.' " |
23 A message came to me from the Lord. He said, | 23 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
24 "Haven't you noticed what these people are saying? They say, 'The LORD once chose the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah. But now he has turned his back on them.' So they hate my people. They do not think of them as a nation anymore. | 24 "Have you not noticed that these people are saying, 'The LORD has rejected the two kingdoms he chose'? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation. |
25 "I say, 'What if I had not made my covenant with day and night? What if I had not established the laws of heaven and earth? | 25 This is what the LORD says: 'If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed laws of heaven and earth, |
26 Only then would I turn my back on the children of Jacob and my servant David. Only then would I not choose one of David's sons to rule over the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I will bless my people with great success again. I will love them with tender love.' " | 26 then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.' " |

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 Jack Daniels!
Facts about Jack Daniels
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Jack Daniels
- Hair: Short
Jack Daniels's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Silly and sweet, Jack D is at a great age, young enough to adjust to new situations, playful but not kitten hyper. He is the cat that is "just right", he likes to be near you and get attention, but he won't smother you. He was adopted at three months and then returned when his owner got married to someone who didn't think the whole package should include furry family members. Jack, is of course, a little confused by this turn of events, but ever an optimist, he holds out high hopes that his charming ways will draw the attention of a more permanent family.
Jack Daniels has always lived with other cats and is nicely sociable. While a kitten he shared a home with an Australian Shepherd and enjoyed her company as well. He is not a picky eater, has excellent litter box habits and is overall an easy cat to maintain. He may be a little uncertain at first due to the change in homes but he quickly warms up to people and is eager for chin rubs and play.
Jack is a great, versatile cat that would do well in most any home.
Jackie D was born in August 2011. He is neutered, has his FVRCP and rabies vaccinations, and tests negative for FIV/FeLV. Jack is ready to bring joy and laughter to his new family.
Other Pets at 4Paws Rescue Team, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jack Daniels, a Merrifield Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Merrifield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Merrifield 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 Merrifield 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Merrifield paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yes, all of the character meals are Table Service Meals!
Okay so I went to the Disney website to check what restaurants I could make a ADR for and I was wondering if the character meals are counted as TS meals?
Yes, all of the character meals are Table Service Meals!
If you're dealing with the dining plan I believe all character meals count as two table service meals.
No, that is not correct, OneLittleSpark. Only the character meal at Cinderella's Royal Table counts as 2 table service meals. The rest of the character meals are one TS meal each. Some signature restaurants and the dinner shows also require 2.
There is a complete list of which restaurants accept the dining plan, including which require 2 TS meals on the Disney website, where you can download the brochure with the full list.

Year in Review: The 12 Best Foreign Films of 2012
2012 Year in Review By Rob Hunter on December 31, 2012 | Comments (3)The title of this list is slightly misleading in that not all of the films were released this year. The sad fact is that the vast majority of foreign language films never reach our shores, and the ones that do often appear a year or two (or more) later. So while all of the films below played in the US in 2012 (in some capacity) they may have premiered elsewhere in 2011 or earlier. Three of the titles below are also featured in my list of the 12 Best Movies of 2012. And because I know you're curious, no, Holy Motors didn't make the cut. (It is included in the Honorable Mentions list at the bottom of the page though!) I know every other critic loved the merde out of it, but I found it to be an occasionally engaging series of sketches highlighted by a love for cinema. Now read on for what I think are twelve better films (in alphabetical order).
NYAFF 2012 Review: South Korea Finds Its 'Goodfellas' With the Smart, Violent and Fantastic 'Nameless Gangster'
Film Festivals By Rob Hunter on June 28, 2012 | Comments (1)The 11th Annual New York Asian Film Festival runs from June 29th through July 15th in NYC. South Korea, 2012 133 minutes, in Korean with English subtitles Directed by: Yun Jong-Bin Starring: Choi Min-Sik, Ha Jung-Woo, Jo Jin-Woong, Ko In-Beom South Korea existed beneath military dictatorships up until the 1980s, but that only encouraged black market dealings and illegal activity for illicit profit. In 1990 though, President Roh Tae-woo's fledgeling democracy came out strong against organized crime and went so far as to declare war on the criminals behind it all. Caught up in the mass of arrests is the very unassuming Choi Ik-hyun (Choi Min-sik). He's tasked with telling the police as much as he can about his time in Korea's mafioso, but as his story unfolds from the beginning it becomes clear that Ik-hyun is either a criminal mastermind… or a bumbling idiot.

F'ville proposes annexing new Panera Bread site
Fayetteville is on track to welcome yet another restaurant near the Fayette Pavilion.
Panera Bread is planning to come to the intersection of Ga. Highway 85 and Ellis Road. A representative of the company is requesting an annexation into Fayetteville of an adjacent lot located to the rear of the site.
The half-acre lot, currently in unincorporated Fayette County, is already zoned for commercial use. The city is asking for the annexation to correct an error, as the city's zoning and future land use map both show the property as having been in the city limits "for many years," according to city officials.
The annexation will be considered by the Fayette County Commission at its Thursday meeting at 3 p.m. The commission can choose to formally object to the annexation but has only a few specific grounds on which to do so.
The parcel in question is located at 104 Ellis Road and would be developed primarily for parking and storm water detention to serve the restaurant.
The parcel is owned currently by Mountain Holdings, LLC of Knoxville, Tenn.
In other business Wednesday, the commission is expected to consider filling a vacant position on the county's three-person ethics board. The vacancy was created last month when board member Dan Langford resigned, in part at the request of several county commissioners.
Langford was criticized by some who claimed his current position as Brooks mayor might lead to some partiality in his decisions on the ethics board because of the contractual relationships Brooks has with county government.
It is possible the commission will choose to fill the vacant ethics board seat with one of the two ethics board alternates: Pota Coston, a retired IRS director and Larris Marks, the former director of human resources for the U.S. Army Forces Command.
The commission Wednesday also will hear details of the county's audit for the 2012 fiscal year. The audit was performed by the firm of Nichols, Cauley and Associates, LLC.
I walked past the Twisted Taco last week and the front door was open and there were lights on inside...so being the curious sort I stuck my head inside. They are indeed finally making progress. I talked a few minutes to one of the workers and he said they had a lot of delays due to structural issues at the beginning. Then he said the corporate office put a hold on construction because the company was stretched too thin economically for a while because they were building this location and remodeling 2 others at the same time. He didn't know what the target date is, but he said they are working quickly now that things are going again.
I just noticed the Panera being built when I came out of SunTrust a couple of days ago. I'm thrilled that there will be one this close, as I am imagining mornings of coffee, bagels and writing in a nice atmosphere. :-)
Will soon be open. Now what about that Twisted Taco joint????????
Update. They are working inside today. They have not finished the upstairs deck yet (visible from the back parking lot). There is a now hiring sign out front with a phone number.
The good news? When we finish our t. taco and margarita, we can go next door and get our eyebrow(s) threaded. That right there, worth the price of admission. You first.
Sign has been there for more than a month--wouldn't put any stock in that!
I usually go by there on weekdays when there is so much traffic I don't even look at the front of the place and would not have seen it. I agree, who hires before construction is even finished, anyway? Screwy things about that place from day 1, seems to me.
As with my previous guess many months ago, Cinco de Mayo opening might not be too far off the mark after all!
Those of you that live by this drumbeat, could you please go ahead and put your house up for sale?! Enough!
Sure, its a chain, but its actually a decent quality one that is not a fried chicken joint. COME ON GUYS.
Things are finally looking up in Fayette. Time to end the knee-jerk negativity.
....just what we needed.
At the cost per square ft. being charged in those developments only franchises can afford to locate there.
Unfortunately, Mom n Pop restaurants will struggle to even pay the rent much less the other costs of those

From Watchdog Blog:
In December 2006, the ever-prescient columnist and best-selling author Molly Ivins was asked whether or not Barack Obama should run for president. Her answer: "Yes, he should run. He's the only Democrat with any 'Elvis' to him."This is a nice footnote that again shows Ivin's vision. But we knew about that already.
The month before, I was sitting with Molly in the Texas State Capitol listening to Obama address an early-morning crowd attending the Texas Book Fair. I did not see any "Elvis" that day. I felt the speech was lackluster, as if the young senator who had written so poetic an autobiography was marking time on his path to something else, content with platitudes.
At one point he said something about the need for decency in government. It was a simple, quiet thought but it drew mild applause. Molly scribbled a note to me that said, in effect, we were in for a new time if an old-fashioned word like decency could draw applause.

Responding to a shifting health care market nationally, Marin General Hospital managers have embarked on a campaign to shrink the hospital's operating costs.
"We have engaged MedAssets — it's a large national consulting organization — to assist us in reducing our operating costs with the goal of 3 percent, which is about $10 million a year," Marin General CEO Lee Domanico said Friday.
He said the goal is to make the cuts over the next 18 months.
Jon Friedenberg, Marin General's chief administrative officer, stressed the importance of the cost-cutting effort, dubbed "Optimize Marin General," in an internal memo sent to hospital employees last month.
Friedenberg wrote that the good news is that "If we can reduce our operating costs by three percent, we will weather the current financial difficulties." He also wrote, "The bad news is that if Optimize Marin General (OMG) is unsuccessful, our hospital's future will be questionable."
Domanico said, "Jon's memo is directionally correct. I think his goal was to emphasize the importance to our employees of our Optimize Marin General effort."
Domanico said, "Today, all hospitals are facing financial challenges due to declining inpatients and a tightening of reimbursement from insurers and governmental agencies."
In the first quarter of 2011, Marin General reported 2,498 discharges, 11,559 patient days and 558 surgeries; in the first quarter of 2014 it reported 2,308 discharges, 10,129 patient days and 531 surgeries.
"There has been a continual shift from inpatient to outpatient," Domanico said. "For example, we are now doing total knee replacements on an outpatient basis, and a year ago those patients would have been admitted to the hospital."
He said hospital stays for hip replacement surgery have also been dramatically reduced, and patients that used to be admitted for intravenous antibiotic therapy are now treated on an outpatient basis.
"There are a whole host of quality-of-care changes that are being encouraged by the government and we are fully participating in those processes to improve care, make it more efficient and minimize people's need to be in the hospital," Domanico said. "It might sound bad for business, but it is good for patients."
In his memo, Friedenberg also said that the hospital's "payer mix" has shifted, resulting in more patients covered by Medi-Cal and fewer covered by private insurers, which provide higher reimbursements to hospitals.
Domanico said, "In California, the state chose to expand Medi-Cal under Obamacare. It's made more individuals eligible, so we're seeing an increase in patients with Medi-Cal insurance coming into our emergency department and in some cases being admitted into the hospital. Medi-Cal doesn't pay the full cost of services."
Domanico said Optimize Marin General will be implemented in "a very thoughtful and targeted" way.
"This is absolutely not an across-the-board approach," he said.
He cited a few examples of contemplated cost cuts. These included renegotiating drug and supply contracts, lowering inventories of supplies and drugs where feasible, working with physicians to standardize supplies and instrumentation and adjusting staff scheduling to better align with patient demand.
Domanico said it is too early to discuss how the cost-cutting program might affect nurses at Marin General. The nurses' current contract ends in December. Barbara Ryan, a Marin General registered nurse who serves as the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United representative, declined to comment on Optimize Marin General.
In his memo, Friedenberg wrote that the financial challenges Marin General faces are not unique.
"Every hospital in Northern California is experiencing these shortfalls, and they are responding to them by cutting costs," Friedenberg wrote. "Dignity, Sutter, St. Josephs, John Muir, El Camino, Washington Township, Sonoma Valley Hospital and others have all initiated efforts to reduce operating costs."
Friedenberg also noted that Palm Drive Hospital in Sebastopol has closed; Doctors Hospital in San Pablo is slated to close; and the Daughters of Charity, the operator of seven hospitals in Northern California, has announced it is getting out of the hospital business.
Walter Kopp, a San Anselmo-based consultant to hospitals and medical groups, said, "There are 10 hospitals in the Bay Area that are on the chopping block, meaning they are either merging, selling or closing.
"Health care reform is reducing utilization of hospitals so hospitals have to cut their cuts," Kopp said. "Marin is in a favorable position; but they have to be cost-efficient."
Kopp added, "It's a good thing. We spend too much money on health care. We're getting at one of the core causes, which is the overutilization of hospitals."

FOXBORO — As the Patriots have struggled to hit their stride this season, questions have been raised in some quarters about the work of the assistant coaches. There was discussion about one of the assistants again on Tuesday.
This time it was all positive. Ivan Fears, who is in his 16th season as a Pats' assistant, his 11th handling the running backs, came in for praise for his work.
"Ivan spends a lot of time with those guys," coach Bill Belichick responded when the topic of the Pats young running backs came up. "They're all a little bit different. They all have a little bit different skills and different backgrounds and a little different calling card, if you will.
"He's done a real good job with all of them and the group, bringing the whole group together as he has all the years that I've been here. Ivan's a really solid coach, very well prepared. He does a really good job with that group of players," Belichick went added. "He has through the years and with the current group he has. You're right, they're all relatively young and inexperienced. Woody [Danny Woodhead] has the most, but that group is a hard-working group. They've come a long way."
Belichick said he likes what is happening at a position where Woodhead is a five-year vet, Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen in their second year and Brandon Bolden is a rookie.
"We're getting there, they're improving, they're getting there. They still have a long way to go, each of them and all of them collectively," the coach said. "I do think they've covered a lot of ground. It's a lot better than it was last year; it's a lot better than it was a couple months ago. I think they're working hard and we're going in the right direction there. But I still think there's still significant ground that we can cover and improve on. But, it's headed in the right direction."
For the second day in a row, Belichick spoke about Vereen, who is just now beginning to show what he can do after having hamstring problems that prevented him from working last season. Vereen had 49 yards on eight carries against the Jets and caught a pass for 10 yards.
"When he's had an opportunity to play, unfortunately, he hasn't had a lot of opportunities over the last year and a half, but the one's he's had have been fairly positive. Not that I hope anything happens to anybody else, but hopefully he'll get more opportunities, because I think he can contribute for us," Belichick said of Vereen. "He's done a good job when he's had a chance, he just hasn't a lot of opportunities."
"I have to get a lot better," Vereen said Tuesday. "I did some good things, but all in all, there are a lot of things I need to correct, and I need to get better at."
Staying even keel
Stephen Gostkowski apparently is not an emotional guy.
The Patriots' kicker did not get overly upset when he missed a field goal that cost his team the Arizona game earlier in the season. And he did not get overly excited when he kicked two clutch field goals that won the Jets game this past weekend.
Gostkowski, who was not around after the game on Sunday, spoke with reporters Tuesday and did all he could to stay on an even keel, which is how he tries to approach his job at all times.
"I try to keep the same focus whether it's the first quarter, second quarter or third quarter kick, because there have been games where I've made or missed kicks that we've ended up winning by three, or that three points could have really helped," he said. "The dramatics of it might change when you look back at it, but during games I want to make every kick. If I were to miss a kick in the first quarter, I'd be just as upset as if I missed one at the end of the game."
Gostkowski hit a 43-yard field goal to tie the score at the end of regulation against the Jets, then a 48-yarder in overtime that won it. He spoke about it matter-of-factly, with no sign of emotion in his voice.
"It was positive for everyone," he said. "We won. I got a chance to help the team and I came through. It was fun and it was a good feeling to come out with a win, a division win against a team that we like to beat."
Gostkowski has made six straight field goals over the last three weeks. He is now 16-for-19 on the season, 84.2 percent, which is almost exactly on his career pace. He is 157-186 overall, 84.4 percent, which is ninth-best in league history and slightly better than his predecessor Adam Vinatieri, who is at 82.7 percent for his career.
The only disappointment about Sunday, he said, was that he could not really celebrate his field goals because, with the new overtime rules, the game was not over. He would have gotten emotional had the game ended with his field goal.
"It kind of stunk because there would have been a lot more reacting and fun if we could have celebrated a little differently," he said. "But a win's a win. It's not about me or being able to celebrate. It was fun to win."
Bottom-line guy
Belichick had one of his "stats are for losers" moments on Tuesday.
He was asked about the fact that his team now has produced at least 350 yards on offense in 16 straight games, which ties the league record set by the Rams "Greatest Show on Turf" team that lost to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI.
"I'm a lot more concerned about wins than yards. I don't really care about the stats," Belichick responded. "I just care about scoring more points than the other team. That would definitely be the number-one thing. So, whatever we've done, we've done. Whatever we haven't done, we haven't done. We're really just trying to look forward and trying to put the best plan and the best game we can on the field against the Rams on Sunday. That's really what the challenges are. Whatever we did or didn't do in the past against somebody else or last year, great, whatever it was. But we just have to do a good job this week against a good football team."
Belichick had no problems recalling the St. Louis squad the Pats are now tied with.
"One word I would use would be explosive," he said of that team. "All those players, they could score pretty much from anywhere on the field — handing it off, throwing it. Throwing it to [Isaac] Bruce, [Torry] Holt, [Az-Zahir] Hakim, [Marshall] Faulk, the slot receiver, [Ricky] Proehl. Orlando Pace and the quarterback, [Kurt Warner and Trent Green], they had a lot of explosive players."

Maggie is determined to find out what Sheila did to former Forrester employee, Judy Johnson. Judy doesn't want anything to do with Sheila for fear she might still carry out those threats Sheila made. Maggie knows Sheila forced Judy to leave her job, and begs her for help because of a child being involved.
Eric visits James to discuss his marriage with Sheila. James makes it clear that he is happy with his wife and baby. Sheila overhears Eric asks James if he loves Sheila. She is relieved when James declares his love for her. Eric warns James not to get caught in Sheila's spell like he did. She has a dark side, and although it might be in remission now, one day it will rear its ugly head.
Lorenzo is clearly over dressed for what Jonny had in mind. She's got on a gorgeous dress while he is in his bathrobe. There's not even a chair to sit down on in Jonny's house. After being interrupted twice by Lorenzo's cell phone, Jonny takes the battery out. Lorenzo offers to leave since it is obvious they had different plans for the night, but Jonny convinces her to stay. They had dinner at her place, now it is time for dinner at his. First, though, Jonny wants Lorenzo to take off her dress...
In Greenland, Rush hitches a ride with a trucker who is going to a shipping port. There, the trucker will unload the huskies she is carrying who are going to the USA. After the truck arrives at it's destination, the dogs are unloaded, but the woman can't find Rush. He's got himself in a dog cage bound for the USA.
Judy tells Maggie of her run in with Sheila. Judy never did trust Sheila and because of that, had her checked out. Somehow though, Sheila knew about Judy's family, especially her sister, who lived alone. When Judy started calling the police to expose Sheila's Genoa City past, Sheila threatens to harm her sister, saying accidents happen. Judy couldn't bear the thought of harm coming to her sister so she left Forrester without a word to anyone, not even Eric. Maggie tells Judy of her plan to put Sheila back in a mental hospital. Judy agrees to bring Sheila to her knees.
Eric doesn't believe Sheila has changed. Sheila says she can't change the past but can only concentrate on being a good wife and mother. Someday, your past will catch up with you, Eric warns. Then, Sheila will be held accountable for her past deeds.

Brooke is complaining to Thorne about his mother. How can she convince Stephanie that Ridge is happy with her? She acts surprised when she tells Thorne that Stephanie accused her of lying about being pregnant. She is even convinced that you, Taylor and I are hiding something from Ridge!
Thorne hopes she set his mother straight. But don't worry, it isn't how my mother sees it that counts, but the way Ridge sees things. He doesn't think Taylor will ever tell Ridge about Thomas. He is almost convinced that Taylor will never come back to Los Angeles.
Dressed in robes, John is leading Lorenzo through a meditation/deep relaxation session. "Your power is in the present," he tells her. "The present is all we have."
After coming out of it, Lorenzo tells him that she feels terrific. This is the most relaxed she has ever been, thanks to him.
On the freighter, a girl comes down to check on the dogs in the cargo space. Just before she gets to the cage that contains Rush and one of the dogs, she is called back up on deck. After she leaves, Rush lets himself out of the cage and hides in the shadows. "I'm going back to the USA," he says. "I'm coming back for you, Lorenzo."
Jonny serves Lorenzo a supper of exotic vegetables. She tells him that she is a meat-eater, but the vegetables are good. There is hope for you yet, he tells her.
Lorenzo tells him that she owes him an apology. She was rude and unforgivable from the moment she walked in the front door. He tells her it was because she was living that hurried existence, but now she is living in the present. "I'm real," Jonny tells her. "A little rough around the edges, but real."
"Thank God you are nothing like your brother," Lorenzo tells him.
At this, Jonny gets somewhat upset and walks out onto the balcony. It is still hard to talk about him, he tells Lorenzo. I keep wondering why he turned out that way. Was it something I could have done that would have made a difference?
"You are not responsible for him," Lorenzo tells him. "That is all in the past. Rush is gone. I feel so safe with you; you have done so much for me. I would like to return the favor." She reaches up and kisses him.
On the freighter, the woman is back to feed the dogs. Rush watches from the shadows. He moves suddenly and something is knocked over, making a loud noise. "Who is there?" The woman exclaims. Quickly, she puts the dog back into his cage and leaves the hold. Hiding himself under the stairs, Rush says, "I'm coming back, Lorenzo. It is only a matter of days and we will be together, this time forever."
Dressed in a bathrobe, Ridge meets Brooke at the bedroom door. "I am taking you IN to dinner," he tells her. She comes into the bedroom to find it alight with candles and incense. "How did you know I needed this?" she asked.
Ridge is so sorry for the way his mother has treated Brooke. Unfortunately, she is a part of his family, but not for long unless she has a serious attitude adjustment. You are more important than anyone, he tells her.
Sitting her on the bed, Ridge begins to take off her stockings and kiss her on the legs. Getting the Japanese food, he climbs into bed beside her and turns on the television set. They are watching the winter games because he didn't get to take her to Nagano as he promised. They begin to feed each other.
Thorne answers his phone to find it is Taylor calling. She is packing to return home tonight. Have you made a decision? He asks. She has, but she won't tell him what it is until she gets to town. After hanging up, Thorne says, "I hope you decide to be with me, Taylor. If not Brooke and Ridge's marriage may be about to end.
"Tonight I come home to begin my new life," Taylor says as she closes her suitcase.

Looking at Taylor's picture, Thorne says that they will know soon whom she will spend her life with. Stephanie comes to visit. She is trying to figure out what Thorne and Brooke are keeping secret. Thorne tells her that she is paranoid.
Stephanie tells Thorne that she is concerned about him. She loves him and worries about him. He chose Brooke's side and he knows how dangerous that can be. Thorne warns her that if she doesn't stop she will lose everyone she loves. He mentions that he knows about her confrontation with Brooke and Ridge the night before. How could she treat Brooke so badly?
Brooke admits to Ridge that she enjoyed it when he told his mother off. Ridge says that she had it coming, but he doesn't think he got through to her. Brooke says she wants to change the subject and she knows how to do it. She leaves the room.
Rick, the contractor, is getting ready to leave Sheila's house. She tells him that she appreciates all the overtime he has put in. She and James are looking forward to the extra space. He promises that all the work will be finished as she requested, but it will take some time yet. He wonders if James is there; he wants to see if he is pleased with the work. Sheila admits that she doesn't know where James is.
Maggie is reminding herself to pack the cell phone and video when James stops by. He has been worried about her, he says. Are you just worried, asks Maggie, or is there more to it?
When Maggie asks if he misses making love to her, he decides he has made a mistake and starts to leave. She calls him back and asks about the baby.
"Do you really want to know how I am?" Maggie asks. "What if I told you that I can't eat, can't sleep. I write you letter after letter that I'll never mail telling you of my regrets. I still buy your favorite tea. I still sleep on my side of the bed and wake up reaching for you, all the time knowing you aren't coming back."
"I'm sorry you are hurting," James tells her. "I do care about you."
"I care about you and that is why I am going to warn you," Maggie tells him. When he protests, she stops him. "I am not coming after Sheila. But you can tell her that her past is her worse enemy---not me. It will come back to haunt her---maybe sooner than she thinks."
Brooke comes back in looking very sexy in a new outfit. She tells Ridge that she has something special for every occasion. You have no idea how much I love you, she tells him. Prove it! He orders.
Before Nick can get out the door, his beeper goes off. He asks to use the phone. When he dials, Maggie answers and wonders where he is; it is almost time. He tells her he has been taking care of things and that person---here looking at Sheila across the room---doesn't suspect a thing.
Stephanie says that Brooke only told him her side of the story, but Thorne says that Brooke has no reason to lie to him. Brooke doesn't want to come between her and Ridge. Why do you go against your brother? Stephanie asks, puzzled.
Stephanie asks what Taylor wanted to tell Ridge, but Thorne tells her he will not tell her. She should begin to worry about her relationship with her other children. She has alienated almost all of them. If she isn't careful, Ridge will also leave her.
Stephanie promises that she---and Ridge---will find out what they are hiding. "You have gone against the family," she tells him, "and the only person who is going to get hurt, besides Brooke, is you." She then leaves.
Ridge makes love to Brooke. After it is over, Brooke says that nothing could ever top that. We have our entire lives to try, Ridge says. He is never going to let her go away from him again. Brooke says that the only thing to make it more perfect is a baby.
Ridge goes into the bathroom just as the phone rings. It is Thorne warning her that Taylor will be home. However, Brooke won't let him talk. She tells him that Taylor will never come back to LA. She hurriedly says goodbye and hangs up when Ridge returns.
Rick comes to Maggie's house. Maggie says the others are on their way. She has a list of things that they are going to do.
You think I am horrible for doing this, don't you? She asks. He tells her that it means nothing to him as long as he is being paid. She begins to tell him what a horrible person Sheila is. "It is time she finds out she cannot just walk away without paying the price." Maggie says.
Ridge says there is champagne downstairs. When he starts down to get it, she tells him that she will do it. Once she is downstairs, there is a knock at the door. Opening the door, she finds Taylor standing there holding her little baby.

Dancing somewhere between heaven and hell
When I saw Ulysses Dove perform with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in the early 1970s, he was an odd presence in that wonderful but sober troupe. Cunningham's dancers went about their business with a deadpan seriousness, even when they made you laugh, and their dancing was precise and contained. Dove was different. Thin and with legs like springs, he left an indelible impression, with an authentic joyfulness to his dancing that his body seemed hardly able to contain.
Dove died far too young in 1996, but in the decade and a half prior he had gained a reputation as a fine choreographer, obtaining commissions from a number of major ballet and contemporary dance troupes. Not having seen his work before, I got myself down to the Opera House at Seattle Center on Thursday night to see Pacific Northwest Ballet perform "3 by Dove," a program that included company revivals of "Red Angels" and "Vespers," and the PNB premiere of "Serious Pleasures," originally created in 1992 for American Ballet Theatre. (The PNB program runs through March 28 and you can watch a preview and get tickets here.)
"Serious Pleasures" was the major piece of the night: showy, sexy, dramatic, and beautifully danced. However, it is "Vespers" that stays with me. The work was made for Dayton Contemporary Dance Company in 1986, an African American troupe with a reputation for adventurous repertoire, and with whom Dove had his closest company association. It is stark and powerful — a stage full of six women and several simple bentwood chairs, melancholy lighting, the dancers dressed in variations of black dresses, almost as if for mourning.
"Vespers" seemed to be dancing somewhere between heaven and hell. The signature movement was an up-thrust arm as if imploring the divine, the women driven by some unseen force. Spare and affecting, the dance is described as inspired by Dove's memories of his grandmother and other women at worship in their small church. The chairs onstage are sat upon, but also at times stand alone, as if there were unseen people sitting there. These women can be joyous, but Dove, an African American originally from South Carolina, also seems to be telling us what a struggle life can be.
The work begins with two dramatic solos danced lovingly by Rachel Foster and Kaori Nakamura, soon to be joined by four other women. A high point sees all of them sitting in a row of chairs all the way stage left, as if hesitant or unwilling to enter the sacred space. There were hints of Alvin Ailey, with whom Dove danced for several years, especially that outstretched arm and yearning movements, but also of Martha Graham, notably her own spare masterpiece of Americana, "Appalachian Spring."
Dove takes us to another sphere of the human condition with the closing work of the night, "Serious Pleasures," said to be about love and sex, or maybe just sex, in the time of AIDS, a disease that was to tragically claim his life four years later. For the most part this is not for the squeamish or romantic; it is hard-edged, carnal, and unyielding.
The evocative stage set is a series of louvered doors, leading into what seem like small rooms (though you can't really see into them), a dancer housed in each, men on the left, women on the right all with their long hair undone. In this dance everyone comes out of the closet (but they also tend to go back in). All the way upstage there are short projected round pegs from which we first find Lucien Postlewaite hanging, a cruel image as if a piece of meat, someone doing penance, or an S and M device. He is described as the "Narrator" and acts as a kinetic tour guide into this very earthy realm.
Everyone dances furiously, in couples, groups or alone, the genders interchangeable, and a pall of anxiety and desire hangs over the stage like a heavy morning mist. Dove's movement style is an eclectic one, from the ballet (this work was after all created for a ballet company), and from his experience in contemporary dance, with the performers going down to the stage floor and rising up again in all sorts of inventive ways, and lots of individualized movement. However masterful his movement, and here it is very rich, it is the intellectual conception and its theatrical realization that makes the dance so powerful.

What's been your favourite multiplayer game? It can be online or local, preferably with one of you saying it's Mario Kart 64 or Pro Evo on the PS2. - El Mag
Rob - It's Mario Kart 64. That game... fucking hell, that game. What a game.
Chris - Of all time? Either the original International Superstar Soccer on the SNES, ISS 64 on the Nintendo 64 or WWF No Mercy on Nintendo 64 (40-man Royal Rumble mode, pinfalls only - when you get beaten you control the next person who runs in - genius).
Tamoor - Hmmmm. I can't decide between Counter-Strike or Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. Ah man, I had such a good time with Power Stone too. I'm sorry, I can't make a call.
Move? Kinect? Oculus Rift? Are these gimmicks or are they going to be the future or integral parts of the way we play games? - StonecoldMC
Tamoor - I'm not sure if they're going to become the primary way that we play games, but I think many of the ideas they present will be assimilated into our gaming experience, both playing the games and interacting with consoles. It's already kind of happening with Microsoft and the Kinect, I think Sony will try something similar. Occulus Rift, I'm not so sure about.
Chris - I don't think they'll ever be integral. I know it seems likely Microsoft will make a new Kinect mandatory for the next Xbox but there will be a war if they try to integrate it with Call Of Duty or FIFA. Move was the one that had most potential to become the standard (since it's essentially a Wii Remote and it did okay) but the fact that the PS4 comes with a new DualShock shows that traditional controllers will always be here to stay. And it's a good job, too.

Tamoor - Renaming it was the right call, juvenile humour or not, it was quite obviously offensive and upsetting to many.
Rob - Personally I feel the issue was overblown. I don't like juvenile, sexist humour personally - primarily because it doesn't make me laugh. But I don't want to cut the balls off every man who found that joke funny either. Anyway, it all reeks of PR stunt.
Chris - I hate people who get offended about everything but I am happy they changed it. The obvious reason is that it must make female gamers feel awkward while playing it - and saying "what about the naked ladies in the game and what Kratos gets up to with them" isn't really a valid argument because that sort of thing happens in Greek mythology whereas calling them "hoes" doesn't. The main reason I'm personally glad they changed it though is because it's a shit joke anyway and it jars with the tone of the game.
Why are games getting worse, is it because of accessibility or everyone having low standards? - Onomatopoeia
Tamoor - Games aren't getting worse.
Chris - Games aren't getting worse, they're getting better. The problem is that members of online forums - who are the minority of gamers, remember - are never satisfied and act like something as trivial as a game's ending is as offensive as someone slapping their mothers in the face. Games aren't getting worse, everyone's just getting pettier.
Rob - Games are a fascinating medium because expectations climb continually. While the Godfather (1972) can stand shoulder to shoulder with The Departed (2006), games of previous decades are not even comparable with modern titles. Now, obviously there are some amazing, incredible gems of the past, but overall I feel that the quality bar has been raised immeasurably. With that in mind, I'm afraid I can't answer your question.
Why are people perceiving games to be getting worse when they aren't? - FishyGinger
Tamoor - I SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOO.
Rob - People tend to act cynical because they think it's clever.
Chris - That's more like it, now you're talking my language. I don't want to get too far into psychology but many forumites (not just gamers, mind) are an attention-seeking bunch and it's easier to get people's attention by being vocally livid at every little thing you disagree with, than it is by saying you like something. Anyone who claims Mass Effect 3's ending was an absolute disgrace and that PlayStation 1 graphics make them feel physically ill is grossly exaggerating in my eyes.

9 Directors Perfect To Take Over 'The Hunger Games' Franchise
And possibly do a better job than Gary Ross who recently departed from the sequel.
'The Hunger Games' was a very good first film for a franchise by director Gary Ross, but unfortunately he won't be reprising that role for the sequel. While this is definitely unfortunate news, it isn't the first time a major franchise like this has switched directors after the first movie. And often times, a new director brings a new voice to the series and leads to an even better film. And who is to say a new director wouldn't benefit 'The Hunger Games' franchise?
Here are nine excellent directors that we believe are perfect candidates to take over the franchise starting with its sequel 'Catching Fire' and our reasons why:
1) Neill Blomkamp
Here's a perfect candidate to direct a sci-fi action franchise like this. Neill Blomkamp already more than proved himself with the excellent 'District 9′ which shared the same 'set in the near future' setting, a grounded approach to sci-fi and similar thematic material with "The Hunger Games". He's in post-production with his next feature 'Elysium' at the moment, but he's the guy who can not only direct excellent kinetic action scenes when the series requires it, but also have that touch of humanity and depth that not every director can. Plus, he can make a modestly budgeted film look like a billion dollar blockbuster. Consider that 'District 9′ was shot for $30 million while 'Transformers' was $200 million.
2) Alfonso Cuarón
Anyone who has seen 'Children of Men' knows that it's one of the most well-directed sci-fi dramas ever. Alfonso Cuarón is a director with tremendous amount of visual flair, especially when it comes to long breathtaking one-cut sequences that blow your mind away. Imagine the action scenes of 'The Hunger Games' in that format and you can clearly see why he could bring a lot of new elements to the table. Plus, he also has experience directing a young adult franchise after he delivered 'Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban' which was personally my favorite installment of the series. He could bring a lot in terms of stylish visuals as well as a strong command over theme and emotion which is what set 'The Hunger Games' apart from other wannabee franchises for me in the first place.
3) Duncan Jones
One of the most criminally underrated movies of recent times is Duncan Jones' 'Moon' and it was a perfect example of a director handling a complex and daring screenplay with suitable finesse and at a strikingly low budget. He got a chance at the studio system with 'Source Code' that was also an exciting action movie that clicked with audiences and critics alike. I think a director like him will handle character development very well without skimping on the sci-fi elements of 'Catching Fire' and 'Mockingjay'. But he's unlikely to be a part of the franchise because he has quite a few original ideas he rather work on instead.
4) Joe Wright
Before Katniss came about this year, I would say that last year's kickass female protoganist had to be Saoirse Ronan in 'Hanna' where she kicked major ass to say the least. Joe Wright proved that he can direct a Bourne-like action movie with the film and perfectly handled a well rounded female action heroine. Considering one of the themes of 'The Hunger Games' is female empowerment, it's definitely right up the director's alley especially considering that his previous work including 'Pride & Prejudice' and 'Atonement' are primarily from the point of views of a female protagonist. If he ends up directing the sequel, expect some very fast paced and beautifully edited action sequences that will be the highlight of the film.
5) David Slade
Normally I would never suggest a director from the wretched 'Twilight' series to come even a mile close to 'The Hunger Games', but the difference here is David Slade has two bad-ass feature films to his credit way before he took on 'Eclipse'. He showed his flair with genre films with '30 Days of Night' and 'Hard Candy' and that's the kind of style that could benefit the sequel 'Catching Fire'. Besides, his 'Twilight' movie was by far the most male-oriented thanks to some effective action sequences that made you forget about the soap opera melodrama for the most part. With his experience of directing a big budget franchise coupled with the style and tone of his darker work, he could deliver a quite potent sequel.

IU's actions show school is not concerned about tuition
As an Indiana citizen, I watch my fellow Hoosiers entwined in the economic clutches of bureaucratic officials who go home every night with another bag of money drained from the wallets of our own communities. Too many governments and organizations have been destroyed because their so-called leaders have tried to benefit personally. Indiana University President Michael McRobbie stated in his 2012 address, "I want to make it clear that we have heard and share the public's concerns over college affordability."
If McRobbie is truly concerned about college affordability why has he continually accepted extravagant pay increases? According to the IU Salary Database, during the 2007-2008 school year McRobbie made $400,000. For the 2008-2009 school year McRobbie made $425,000. And now during the 2012-2013 school year McRobbie is making a tax- and tuition-based $544,848.00 a year salary. Comparatively, the President of the United States makes $400,000. But it's not just the university president being granted lavish tuition and tax funded pay increases. Professors throughout the IU system are receiving thousands of dollars in salary raises every year.
According to CollegeCalc.Org, in 2000 the undergraduate in-state tuition rate for IU Bloomington was $4,212. By 2010, the tuition had doubled to $8,613. Presently, the average loan debt for an IUB graduate is $27,752. Author and renowned financial advisor Peter Schiff has explained that universities have been able to raise tuition substantially because of federally backed student loans, which place more of the repayment burden on the taxpayer. Schiff stated, "As a result, colleges and universities are freed from competitive forces that would otherwise keep tuition low."
A state- funded school should be cutting and freezing salaries during economic hard times. During the recession Gov. Mitch Daniels ordered $150 million in cuts from the state's higher education fund, but as these cuts take hold many public Indiana University officials continue to receive excessive pay increases.

Columnist an embarrassment for immigration opinions
We real Americans are sick and tired of listening to that stupid Ester Cepeda whining and crying about all of these worthless undocumented illegal kids that should all be deported with all of their family members. Because they are not are the problem. Their family members came in to our country illegally. And think if they hold marches and demand citizenship that we get it. But what do we pay these stupid people in Washington for. They're just too lazy to do their job we pay them to do. Just deport all of them. Esther Cepeda keeps showing she is not a real American. She is becoming to be an embarrassment to this great country. No real American cares if these kids and their family get deported. They think if they go to our schools or colleges, that will make them American. Wrong. Just deport all of them.

Lenz's Law
Name: David Status: N/A Age: 17 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1999
I'm really having a problem understanding magnetic flux and Lenz's Law of electromagnetic induction. I'm beginning to feel really stupid and the explanations I read are confusing me more and more. Can you help????? I'd be really grateful.
Sometimes exactly the same words with an entirely different mental picture helps me get something I've been having trouble with: think of wind going through a hula hoop. Wind velocity is going to play the role of the magnetic induction B, and the hula hoop is going to represent a wire loop. Wind velocity is a vector field: it varies both in magnitude (breezy here, calm over there) and in direction (it can come from the north or from the south, and it can swirl around). A magnetic field can't be more complicated than the wind because they're both just vector fields.
The magnetic flux through a wire loop is exactly analogous to the amount of air going through the hula hoop. It's the dot product of the field strength and the cross-sectional area of the loop. Turn the hula hoop edge-on to the wind and the flux drops to zero because no air is getting through it. Keep turning and the flux goes negative because now the wind is blowing the other way through the hoop.
Now Faraday's law says the force on charges in the wire loop depends on the *change* in flux through the loop. The charges don't care how strong the wind is; they only care how rapidly the amount of air going through the hoop changes. If you rotate the hoop very quickly in a light breeze, they'll get excited. If it's really windy, a very slow rotation will do the same thing. If it's gusty, you can leave the hoop stationary and the change in wind speed will do the trick.
These days, most hula hoops have beads in them. Let's pretend that if the beads move inside the hoop they will generate wind through the hoop. Let's say if they go clockwise, they generate a wind going in the direction a screw would go if the beads were turning it. Let's say if you increase the amount of air going in that same direction through the hoop, the beads will feel forced to move (so far we have Faraday's law) counter-clockwise (now we've added Lenz's law).

Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. The time period for which the breathing stops or decreases is usually 10-30 seconds. When these episodes occur repeatedly, sleep apnea can seriously disrupt the quality of sleep.
