The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 He said to his disciples, "Hard trials and temptations are bound to come, but too bad for whoever brings them on! | 1 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. |
2 Better to wear a millstone necklace and take a swim in the deep blue sea than give even one of these dear little ones a hard time! | 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. |
3 "Be alert. If you see your friend going wrong, correct him. If he responds, forgive him. | 3 So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. |
4 Even if it's personal against you and repeated seven times through the day, and seven times he says, 'I'm sorry, I won't do it again,' forgive him." | 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him." |
5 The apostles came up and said to the Master, "Give us more faith." | 5 The apostles said to the LORD, "Increase our faith!" |
6 But the Master said, "You don't need more faith. There is no 'more' or 'less' in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, 'Go jump in the lake,' and it would do it. | 6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. |
7 "Suppose one of you has a servant who comes in from plowing the field or tending the sheep. Would you take his coat, set the table, and say, 'Sit down and eat'? | 7 "Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? |
8 Wouldn't you be more likely to say, 'Prepare dinner; change your clothes and wait table for me until I've finished my coffee; then go to the kitchen and have your supper'? | 8 Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? |
9 Does the servant get special thanks for doing what's expected of him? | 9 Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? |
10 It's the same with you. When you've done everything expected of you, be matter-of-fact and say, 'The work is done. What we were told to do, we did.'" | 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' " |
11 It happened that as he made his way toward Jerusalem, he crossed over the border between Samaria and Galilee. | 11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. |
12 As he entered a village, ten men, all lepers, met him. They kept their distance | 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance |
13 but raised their voices, calling out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" | 13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" |
14 Taking a good look at them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." | 14 When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed. |
15 One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God. | 15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. |
16 He kneeled at Jesus' feet, so grateful. He couldn't thank him enough - and he was a Samaritan. | 16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan. |
17 Jesus said, "Were not ten healed? Where are the nine? | 17 Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? |
18 Can none be found to come back and give glory to God except this outsider?" | 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" |
19 Then he said to him, "Get up. On your way. Your faith has healed and saved you." | 19 Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well." |
20 Jesus, grilled by the Pharisees on when the kingdom of God would come, answered, "The kingdom of God doesn't come by counting the days on the calendar. | 20 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, |
21 Nor when someone says, 'Look here!' or, 'There it is!' And why? Because God's kingdom is already among you." | 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." |
22 He went on to say to his disciples, "The days are coming when you are going to be desperately homesick for just a glimpse of one of the days of the Son of Man, and you won't see a thing. | 22 Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. |
23 And they'll say to you, 'Look over there!' or, 'Look here!' Don't fall for any of that nonsense. | 23 Men will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them. |
24 The arrival of the Son of Man is not something you go out to see. He simply comes. | 24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. |
25 But first it's necessary that he suffer many things and be turned down by the people of today. | 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. |
26 "The time of the Son of Man will be just like the time of Noah - | 26 "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. |
27 everyone carrying on as usual, having a good time right up to the day Noah boarded the ship. They suspected nothing until the flood hit and swept everything away. | 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. |
28 "It was the same in the time of Lot - the people carrying on, having a good time, business as usual | 28 "It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. |
29 right up to the day Lot walked out of Sodom and a firestorm swept down and burned everything to a crisp. | 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. |
30 That's how it will be - sudden, total - when the Son of Man is revealed. | 30 "It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. |
31 "When the Day arrives and you're out working in the yard, don't run into the house to get anything. And if you're out in the field, don't go back and get your coat. | 31 On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. |
32 Remember what happened to Lot's wife! | 32 Remember Lot's wife! |
33 If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you'll lose it, but if you let that life go, you'll get life on God's terms. | 33 Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. |
34 "On that Day, two men will be in the same boat fishing - one taken, the other left. | 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. |
35 Two women will be working in the same kitchen - one taken, the other left." | 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left. " |
37 Trying to take all this in, the disciples said, "Master, where?" He told them, "Watch for the circling of the vultures. They'll spot the corpse first. The action will begin around my dead body." | 37 "Where, LORD?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather." |

I'm thinking of Bonsai as my new hobby. I know that certain trees fair better in certain areas. I am new to my area and its climate. I just moved from Ohio to Largo Florida. I'm wondering what trees might be good for me to start with in this climate? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by jack_r 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Dec 7, 09 at 2:08
I recommend Ficus microcarpa, Ficus salicifolia, and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). They are well adapted to the climate of Florida and readily available. You should also join a bonsai club. You can find one on the internet I'm sure by going to the websites of The American Bonsai Society or Bonsai Clubs International or just Google "bonsai clubs". Membership in a club will get you up that old learning curve much faster. Good luck, Jack |
Thanks Jack, I will look into it. |

I've been getting a few Ficus microcarpa from Home Depot that could fit into six inch pots but I've put them into ten inch pots because I want them to get the big fat roots . I read they are slow growing . Do you have any suggestions on how to get the roots bigger ? Or I'll just have to wait 5 or 8 yrs and take it out of the pot ? What is your suggestion on getting the big fat roots on a ficus ? |
- Posted by jack_r 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 8, 09 at 1:35
If you want big roots you must let the top of the tree go wild. The roots get their nourishment from the leaves. More leaves mean bigger roots. So you must fertilize, and water your tree for the most growth. The larger pot will help also. Happy growing. Jack |

Rlugo, how about a Desert Rose (Adenium)? From a seedling, they develop a nice, fat caudex. From a cutting, the roots intertwine to eventually produce a massively-twisted rootflare. In Florida, Desert Rose will flower most of the year, and it also responds well to pruning. Josh |
Thanks Josh, I just looked it up and am adding it to the list. I think I will try all of the above. I'd like to start some from scratch, but I'd also like to buy something that has been trained/bonsai-ed a bit (I guess that's the term). This way I will have something decent to look at. Anyone know of any shops near me? |

Is there any way perhaps, for a handyman to build some sort of dumb waiter as an alternative bath lift for very frail geriatric mom who can't manuever out of the tub anymore?
She likes soaking in tub, therefore a shower (instead of bath) might prove to be a big letdown for her. It's one of her few pleasures. I'm thinking the dumb waiter might rest inside tub on 4 suction-tip legs, sorta like a baby swing on 4 legs. And yes, I'm aware of the Neptune, Ameriglide, etc.
Who needs a back anyway, since there's already a back cushion in the tub. Also most bath lifts on the market don't descend all the way to bottom of tub, rather 3" above. btw, Has anyone here tried the inflatable bathing cushion, such as by Mangar? |

Making a Case to Fire Ernie Grunfeld
January 11, 2013 in State of the Wizards
By Staff Writer John Manuel:
This post may sound familiar to you. That's because I wrote something like it before, and now its time to again.
There may be only one person in Washington DC with a worst job approval rating than the United States Congress and his name is of course Ernie Grunfeld. Unlike members of congress, we cannot vote out Grunfeld, only one man can and he is Ted Leonsis. But Leonsis has decided not to help us out as fans and continues to employ Ernie as the Wizards become more and more of an embarrassment. We are reaching Clippers levels of the past and reaching them quickly.
Even after an exciting win of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Washington sits at 5-28. Half the wins of Redskins in twice the games. But Leonsis sits back and makes no attempt to rectify this sadness as $1.50 tickets all over stub hub. Grunfeld should be been gone last spring but he stayed.
Atlanta was a team going nowhere so they made a change and brought in DC's own Danny Ferry. What did Ferry do? He cleared some bad contracts and his team is still winning at 20-14. Atlanta had better talent but now they are also in better shape for this summer and to land someone like Dwight Howard. They may get Howard, we will still have Nene and Okafor. Again, I like Nene when he can give 35 minutes, but that does just not happen. He gives 25-30 and will be here at high dollars for 4 more years unless Grunfeld swaps him for more bad contracts.
Leonsis and Grunfeld will probably tell you that wait till John Wall returns soon and we are at full strength. I think they feel and hope they have a superstar player in Wall, but he is not. He was a former number one pick but he is not in the range of Rose, Paul, Parker, etc. And I like Wall but I see him as someone waiting for a chance to take his talents elsewhere at this point.
We can go through what Ernie has done in the draft recently but everyone knows all that. But real quick here are some stats. Vesely gives them 13 minutes a game and is shooting a solid 24% from the line to bring in 2.6 ppg. Chris Singleton is going for 4-4-1 a night if he plays. Maybe Seraphin is the bright spot as a big man giving 5 rebounds a game.
As for last summer's big trade. Ariza and Okafor a lighting it up for 16 points a night. Not each, total together that is. Washington has zero players shooting better than 50% from the field. A stat that proves Ernie has a 5-28 team with low talent.
I knew the trade was a disaster but the Wizards had to add veterans instead of just amnestying Rashard Lewis. I would much rather them have buried Andray Blatche on the bench till his contract ran out instead of using the amnesty on him. But Ernie and Ted didn't.
Not firing Ernie Grunfeld has me petrified what will happen come the trade deadline and into the draft. Good news is that the Wizards do not have much talent to trade away and make another error or the cap room to add more bad contracts. A team this bad should have plenty of space for the summer, they don't. Houston cleared out because they knew they were not going anywhere then went out and got James Harden. Winning move, unlike Grunfeld who passed. Now Houston will most likely have money to play with also the next two summers. And the Wizards curse will most likely hit them again come draft day where they most likely are no sure bet for number one guy out there. Much like the years of Kwame Brown and John Wall. The draft of 2014 has incredible promise but Grunfeld will probably send that pick for another 8 point a game vet who made his name in college. Time to fire Grunfeld!

Consol, New Castle Firm Join on Recycling Venture
PITTSBURGH, Pa. – A company based in New Castle has developed technology that could have long-term ramifications for energy usage across the globe, and has secured a high-profile partner to help demonstrate its potential.
"We're really excited," remarked Ron Pettengill, executive vice president of Epiphany Solar Water Systems, as he addressed guests at a press event announcing a newly formed partnership with Pittsburgh-based Consol Energy. "This is technology that was created in Pennsylvania, used in Pennsylvania and could be exported to the world."
Consol announced Monday that it has secured a minority equity interest in Epiphany so the company can move forward on deploying solar-powered water recycling systems at Consol drilling sites in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. The system is the first of its kind in the world.
"We've taken this thing from a prototype, through full development, and now we have a commercial-ready product," said Epiphany's CEO, Tom Joseph.
Consol's president, Nick DeIuliis, said that the two companies share more objectives in common than one would think. "Water is something that affects everyone in this region," he said. And, there are about three billion people in the world without easy access to water and energy, and this technology could prove to be part of that solution.
"Consol is a perfect partner with Epiphany," he said. "We treat north of 35 to 36 billion gallons of water per year. We're probably the largest private handler of water in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
The demand for water is only going to increase, DeIuliis said, as energy companies continue to explore in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. "The opportunity is there, the numbers are there. This made perfect sense for our region and in the bigger picture of the world over."
Initially, the system was to be used as a standard water purification system, Joseph said. But this year, Consol contacted the company and inquired whether this technology could be adapted for use as a solar-powered water recycling operation that could purify contaminated production water left over from the hydraulic fracturing process.
Hydraulic fracturing is a process that combines water, sand and chemicals, and injects this mixture at high pressure into freshly drilled wells. The composite helps to fracture tight shale formations 7,000 feet below the earth and unleash trapped gas.
"This production water is known to be contaminated and difficult to dispose of or purify," Joseph said. "Our goal is to develop a system that can purify the water and turn it into useful components, and turn it from being a cost center to a profit center."
Epiphany's system could not handle the large volumes of water that are initially jettisoned from the fracking process -- called flowback -- but instead handles the production water that accompanies gas and liquids as they are brought to the surface.
The system entails placing what resembles a medium-size satellite dish about six feet high with reflective material that is able to track the path of the sun. The sunlight hits the dish and bounces the energy to a receiver positioned in the middle of the disc.
From three to six of these dishes would be used at a single drill site, he said.
"It turns into high intensive heat," much like concentrating sunlight through a magnifying glass, Joseph explained. The energy is then absorbed by a synthetic oil that is pumped through the system and into a distillation unit. The intense heat causes the water to evaporate into steam, which then re-condenses into clean water.
As the water evaporates, Joseph said, it leaves behind all of the impurities, such as high concentration of metals and salt. These products could also be cleaned and reused for other purposes.
The closed-loop system would be able to clean 100 to 100,000 gallons of water per day, and would dramatically reduce costs for energy companies such as Consol that would normally transport that water to deep injection wells, Joseph said. It also could reduce by 90% the volume of toxins marked for offsite storage, alleviating many environmental concerns.
Moreover, the system isn't expensive to deploy, and in the long run reduces energy costs for the user, Joseph said.
The company received seed money from Innovation Works, a venture capital fund in Pittsburgh, and Joseph expects to have a pilot program set up at a well site in Greene County the next three months.
Consol's DeIuliis called water maintenance in the Utica and Marcellus shale both "a big challenge and a big opportunity. It's really incumbent upon the industry as to which one of the two view prevails."
Consol has invested $500,000 to inaugurate this new technology and incorporate it into its exploration and production methods. "We want to minimize the water footprint of development in Marcellus and the Utica shale," he said.
Consol, founded 150 years ago as a coal producer, has stepped up its activity in eastern Ohio in search for oil and gas opportunities along the Utica shale, especially in the Mahoning Valley, DeIuliis said.
In the near future, he said that the company would operate three segments of the business: coal, oil and gas, and water. "We see the day, not when this addresses a specific challenge of water in the Marcellus and the Utica -- reducing the volume of water going to injection wells -- but as another resource for this region."

Why no stereogum love for Sam Smith's new track "Safe With Me"? A lot of love here for AlunaGeorge but for my money Sam Smith had the best track on Settle with "Latch"
Still not big on the song—little too easy breezy for what is a lead single for a new album. And he's getting closer to aping MJ than channeling him.
They should've just had Fallon and Black Thought do it from the get go
Just to be sure this was from Elizabeth Fey of Foxygen and not Elizabeth Stamatina Fey aka Tina Fey, correct?
I say we have a revote. "Get Lucky" was the song of the spring. "Blurred Lines" is the song of the summer
Well then I'll step back and say they should have released Tunnel Vision since it's the better of the two songs and the best track off the album.
And I really wouldn't cite Twitter as a good barometer of what's good. If that were the case then Sharknado would be the greatest movie ever
Gotta question the release of this seeing as how they just put out Tunnel Vision
Have you ever considered that they just like the music? As palatable as Deafheaven is, as far as black metal goes, it's still pretty hard to digest for even the more acclimated listener. I just have a hard time believing there are people out there committing to like something basically because it's the "in" thing to do. Granted I have no experience with the indie scene as I live in my own indie bubble.
Your MJ on the Wiz (whoa, I just realized both MJs were on/in The Wiz) is pretty spot on. This album is far from bad or horrible but it's also far from great. Both instances have guys that basically achieved anything and everything yet are staying on just to stay on. They both still have ample skill and aren't making a fool of themselves yet are shadows of their former greatness.
If you have any Samsung stock I'd sell now. The marketing for Magna Carta Holy Grail makes no sense on Samsung's side. What are they getting out this deal? The ability to say they were somewhat involved with a potentially good album? What happens if it tanks? It'll no doubt knock them back behind Apple in the smartphone wars.

An Empire Strikes Back: Intel Muscles Into the Mobile Market
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
Intel Outside
Intel built an empire on high-powered PC microprocessors. But the company has barely cracked smartphones, which have outsold PCs since 2010. Meanwhile, mobile devices are increasingly using the rival ARM architecture. —M.C.
Sources: Device Sales: Gartner, IDC; Chip Sales: ARM, Wired Research
But Intel may not want to celebrate too hastily. The company seems to have revamped its engineering philosophy, but to compete in the mobile industry it will need to adjust its business tactics as well. Intel's empire has run on a fairly traditional model—manufacture pricey chips, then sell them at high margins. ARM, on the other hand, licenses its architecture and designs to other chipmakers, who add radios, video processors, and other circuitry and components. Some companies, like Apple, design customized chips to use in their own devices. Others, like Nvidia and Qualcomm, make them to sell to other computer and phone manufacturers. ARM gets a licensing fee and a royalty of a few percent per chip. (ARM chips outsell Intel microprocessors 24 times over, but Intel's revenue is 68 times higher.)
Because of its dominant market position, Intel can sell a Xeon server chip for $774, raking in a gross profit of about $600 per unit, or 78 percent. But as Intel moves into mobile, it will have to accept much thinner profit margins and focus on volume. The main chips in smartphones and tablets today sell for $10 to $20, about 40 percent of which is gross profit.
And while Intel has come up with a hack that allows most Android apps to run on its phones, that's not an ideal fix. The company will have to persuade app developers to optimize their software for Intel's new smartphone chip, which is still based on x86 architecture. App makers already have to write software for Android and Apple's iOS if they want their products to run on both platforms. It may be a struggle to get them to add yet another rewrite for Intel-powered chips. "Does the industry want another supplier?" asks CEO Warren East of ARM. "We do expect Intel to be in this marketplace. We just don't expect it to have a massive share."
Neither do Intel executives, who keep insisting that they're merely looking for a seat at the table. But Intel's decades-long history suggests that the company doesn't usually remain satisfied until it claims every seat—and then the table itself. Grove instilled a culture of intense competitiveness, seeing the industry as a zero-sum game. Any chip sold by someone else represented a lost opportunity. A rival's breakthrough design could freeze Intel out of an entire line of computers. And Intel's model of making massive investments—it builds a new $5 billion fabrication plant every five years or so—has required it to sell billions of microprocessors annually. The chipmaker has proven willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Just ask the companies and territories that allege every kind of hardball tactic from Intel over the years: offering steep rebates to customers who agree to buy 95 percent of their chips from Intel; paying PC makers to delay the introduction of machines that use rival microprocessors; bundling and discounting products to undercut its competition.
Then again, carriers and phone makers might welcome another competitor—even one as historically rapacious as Intel. Manufacturers like Samsung and Apple charge carriers outrageous prices for the privilege of carrying their devices. But Intel offers almost complete phones, letting carriers customize the software and put their own brand on the hardware. Meanwhile, less illustrious manufacturers find themselves at the mercy of the chipmakers—Qualcomm, for instance, dominates the smartphone market, capturing 50 percent of all revenue, which gives it the power to squeeze phone makers like HTC and LG for the right to use its technology.
Intel could offer a welcome counterbalance. "Intel's arrival ensures that nobody in the mobile industry can rest on their successes," says Patrick Remy, vice president of devices at Orange.
And then there's Intel's proven expertise at process technology—figuring out ways to reliably innovate and improve its chips. The company's current phone semiconductor—a single-core chip called Medfield—works fine, even if it can't yet best efforts from Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Samsung. But next year Intel is expected to come out with a chip that crams an even greater number of transistors onto an even smaller frame. That will mean both more processing power and greater efficiency. (Experts expect the chip to have roughly double the performance of Medfield.) And by 2015, Intel plans to produce a still smaller chip—about half the size of Medfield yet, experts say, potentially almost four times as powerful and efficient.
At that point, some analysts predict, Intel's offerings may become so superior that manufacturers and carriers will have no choice but to switch to them. "The goal is ultimately to get inside Apple," says Patrick Moorhead, a longtime AMD executive turned analyst. "And Intel will pull out every stop to get there." This rising tide could also enable more and more connected devices—thermostats, pill-bottle caps, door locks, water heaters—all running tiny, powerful, energy-efficient Intel chips.
There are plenty of ARM fans who believe that Intel may still stumble in its phone bid—not because of a lack of technical chops but because the inertial pull of its old PC business practices and a dependence on fat margins will trip up the company.
Bell has heard all the criticism and brushes it off. Most phone and tablet users don't care what chip is powering their favorite device—as long as it's fast and doesn't drain the battery quickly. "The best product wins," Bell says. "If we come out with the best products, we deserve to have significant market share." Or, as a pirate might say, hand over those doubloons.

The Best Green Designs from ICFF 2013 Day One!
Posted By Mike Chino On May 23, 2013 @ 5:31 pm In carousel showcase,Features,Green Design Events,Green Home decor,Green Products,ICFF,new york design week | 2 Comments
San Francisco Bay Area-based designer Colin Selig [6] repurposes old propane tanks to create an amazing array of sofas and chairs. The smooth, sculptural seats require no extra material, and Selig has plans to license the design so that local craftspeople can manufacture them around the world.
New Zealand-based Designtree [7] showcased their series of Frankie Lamps [7], which feature recycled felt shades set upon FSC-certified wood frames. The Frankie line includes a table, standing, and pendant lamp, and each one is accented by a red cord that adds a bright pop of color.
That's no moon [8]… it's Graypants [9]' largest recycled cardboard lamp to date! The designers told us that even this epic 64″ sphere will soon be eclipsed by an even larger cardboard lamp – stay tuned!
The Recycler [10] created this bright red chair entirely from repurposed bicycle parts. Four handlebars make up its legs, while the seat is composed of sections of bicycle [11] wheels.
Moooi [12] unveiled a collection of stunning LED [4] chandeliers that look like fireworks or constellations in bloom. Each energy-efficient lamp's metal structure carries a low-voltage current that is safe to the touch and eliminates the need to connect the bulbs with wires.
Patrick Weder Design [13]'s beehive-like lamp makes beautiful use of minimal materials. It's composed of tiny strips of paper layered over a simple wire frame structure.
Inhabitat favorite Nadia Belalia [14] showcased a new set of recycled colander lamps [15] painted with brilliant hues.
Dirk Vander Koolj [16] unveiled his brand new Chubby Chair [17], which is made of recycled plastic [5] extruded and shaped by a custom-built robot.
Molo [18] showcased its elegant new Softlight LED tripod lamp, which consists of a cloud-like Tyvek shade set atop three spindly legs.
Hurb [19]'s clever Kiga Kitchen Garden [19] is a modular planter that can be used to grow fresh herbs for cooking. The modules can be arranged in a variety of configurations, they stack one within another to ship, and the foot of each planter provides drainage.
Hinterland [20] unveiled a gorgeous low-energy chandelier made from pieces of driftwood salvaged from the coasts of British Columbia.
The Dutchtub [21] is an off-grid hot tub that is heated by a burning wood fire. It'd be perfect for a taking a soak in the woods while camping!
Blackbody [22] showcased its gorgeous OLED tree, which consists of a single white trunk that splits off into branches that glow with low-energy light.

Updated: December 8, 2012 6:12AM
U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-1st) on Tuesday cruised past longtime Blue Island Mayor Don Peloquin, who'd hoped his name recognition in the Southland would help him upset Rush.
With 599 of 617 precincts reporting, Rush had 74 percent of the vote compared with 26 percent for Peloquin.
In his 28th year as mayor, Peloquin, a Republican, faced an uphill battle in a district that, although redrawn after the 2010 census, still heavily favors Democrats. Rush has represented the 1st District since 1992.
Along with sections of the city's South and Southwest sides, the realigned district touches all or parts of communities including Blue Island, Oak Forest, Orland Park, Frankfort and New Lenox.
The district is 60 percent Democratic, and Peloquin received no help, financial or otherwise, from the Republican organizations at the state and federal level.
A part owner of Hickey Memorial Funeral Homes in Blue Island, Midlothian and New Lenox, Peloquin is not seeking re-election next April as mayor.
3rd Congressional
Four-term incumbent William Lipinski, of Western Springs, won re-election to a fifth term, with 69 percent of the vote to 31 percent for Republican Richard Grabowski, a 46-year-old manufacturing supervisor from Hometown. There were 490 out of 501 precincts reporting.
The district takes in a large portion of Chicago's Southwest Side and all or parts of suburbs including Oak Lawn and Orland Park.
14th Congressional
With 426 of 471 precincts reporting, incumbent Randy Hultgren was leading with 59 percent of the vote compared with 41 percent for Democrat Dennis Anderson.
16th Congressional
U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, now representing the 11th District, had 62 percent of the vote compared with 38 percent for Democrat Wanda Rohl. There were 512 of 683 precincts reporting.

If you wonder what it might be like to fall in love with someone of your own sex, Some Girls is your own personal core sample. Somehow Kristin McCloy sidesteps hackneyed ''coming out'' epiphanies; Claire simply likes her neighbor Jade more and more until liking spills into fascination, and fascination into romance. (Isn't that the way love is supposed to go anyway?) You'll have to fight through frequent baroque sentences like ''It's almost morning, she said softly, in the tone of one who has been waiting, of one who has spent years waiting, for the sun to rise again.'' But that's a small price to pay for true love especially in a city that needs all the true love it can get. B

Thinking about replacing kitchen table with "pub style" or counter top height table. We have an 8 foot ceiling. Will this look OK? Are these type of tables designed for larger type ceilings? The fixture above the table is rather large. See photo. Not changing fixture. |

They aren't that comfortable to sit at for extended periods, or even briefly if you are young or old. The bonus is that most people won't spend as much time eating. The downside is that your family interaction may suffer from not spending as much together time at the table. |
I disagree. We've had one for 10 years now and spent many hours at it. You can sit at any that you are considering for a bit and have a bit of conversation -- check your messages or whatever, and test the one you are looking at. Like any other furniture, some is very comfortable, some is not. As for the height, people have counters and islands with 8 foot ceilings, so unless you are incredibly tall and long-bodied, that shouldn't be a limitation. As for your light fixture, you'll have to measure it. If your table is about 36" in height, you typically want at least 30 inches above the table to the bottom of the fixture. That can vary a bit, but you should have 2 to 2-1/2 feet for a fixture. |
Second the notion about them being fine for comfort. If you get hard bar stools, then no, but the right chairs with foot rests work fine. I, however, hate sitting at the table for more than an hour especially if full of dirty dishes and food. Move the conversation to the living room, and lets get that mess cleared out! |
Sorry, can't see the ceiling, but it's 8'. No problems at all. Comfortable too, and we're not that young. :) |

Edith NesbitEdith Nesbit (18581924), English author and poet wrote the children's novel The Railway Children (1906). Nesbit lived a colourful and active life while writing many poems, plays, short stories, fiction and non-fiction, but some of her most enduring works are her children's stories. With elements of fantasy, time travel and spies, fairy tales and magic, they are a reflection of her idyllic childhood days and travels through England, France, and Germany. The Railway Children inspired television and film adaptations. Edith Nesbit was born on 15 August 1858 in London, England, the daughter of Sarah and John Collis Nesbit. Her first handful of years were spent with her two brothers and sisters at the family agricultural college. After the sudden death of her father, and one of her sister's ill health, they lived in various parts of the country before young Edith was sent to boarding school. After a bitter experience there the family travelled throughout France, and Edith attended school there and in Germany, often plagued by homesickness. In 1871 the Nesbits settled at Halstead Hall in Kent, England. The next few years were a source of many happy memories and influences on Nesbit's future writing. Adventures in and around the local pond, the surrounding gardens, investigating secret passageways in their home, and walking down the railway tracks that crossed the back fields with her brothers were events she would later develop in her popular stories for children. She was already flexing her vivid imagination in the poems she started to write around the age of fourteen. On 22 April 1880 Edith married Hubert Bland, though their unconventional marriage suffered from infidelity. Bland was one of the founders of the Fabian Society, of which Havelock Ellis, Eleanor Marx, and George Bernard Shaw were among its members. At this time Nesbit became an active socialist, cut her hair short and embraced the new values of the "advanced" woman. She and her husband jointly edited the Society's journal Today and entertained many friends and colleagues at their grand home Well Hall, Kent. Smoking cigarettes, the vivacious and bohemian dark haired Nesbit was always surrounded by a large circle of friends and admirers. Dozens of her stories were published in such magazines as the Pall Mall Gazette, Girls' Own Paper, and London's Weekly Dispatch. In 1908 her political poems were published in the collection Ballads and Lyrics of Socialism. After Hubert died in 1914 Edith married Thomas Tucker. Edith Nesbit died on 4 May 1924 and lies buried in the churchyard of St Mary's in the Marsh, Kent, England.

Dish may have "The Hopper," but Austin Peay University one upped the satellite network Thursday, by signing "The Hooper" to a softball scholarship at Walker Valley.
Lady Mustangs' outstanding pitcher Sidney Hooper signed papers to play softball for the Lady Governors in front of a throng of family, teammates and well-wishers.
"I am very excited. I have wanted to play college softball my entire life. To actually get to do that is very exciting," said the rising senior Lady Mustang.
Hooper looked at UTC and East Tennessee State before deciding to head to the Nashville area to continue her education and softball career.
"I met with the coaches, visited there and everything was just great," said Hooper while waiting to gather with family and friends. "It was a lot of the coaching style I have been used to my whole life. Also, the distance to the campus is good and the campus population is good."
Lady Mustangs coach Lauren Limburg said softball is just one of Hooper's outstanding qualities.
"Sidney is a great young lady. She is an excellent softball player and a great student. She just has it all," said Limburg. "What makes Sidney really special is she is a hard worker and she is willing to do whatever it takes to make her team successful. She is a team player. She is about Walker Valley getting wins. She works extremely hard and has worked extremely hard to get where she is today. I'm super proud of her."
Hooper's work ethic and pitching skills have made her a well known commodity in softball circles. She says her attitude and skill level are two positives she will take with her to Austin Peay.
"I just want to be the best I can and work hard," said the future biology major and physical therapist.
Limburg also said her star hurler will not only improve her game while in college, she will make the Lady Govs a better softball team.
"I think she will exceed their expectations. She will continue to work hard. She is a great pitcher. She's got movement, she's got speed, she is an excellent hitter, she is a defender and she can play anywhere on the field," she said. "She will be a huge asset to Austin Peay and she will make them a better ball team."
Hooper understands cracking the starting lineup for the Lady Govs is anything but a given. Her plans are to continue to work hard, train hard and eventually walk to the circle as a starter.
"I will have to work for it. I will have to work all fall and spring to get a starting position," she said. "I will have to work on specific things, pitching-wise. I plan to continue to work on hitting my spots and my locations. (As far as) batting, I will keep the same lines I have always had to compete."
The Walker Valley coach said there should be no major obstacles in Hooper's transition to the college game.
"I think she will be able to jump right in there and be successful. I don't think she will have any trouble whatsoever. I feel she will get in there, start in their workouts, start in their program and will excel," said Limburg. "I don't think she will have any trouble breaking into the starting lineup. She will get in there, show what she's got, showcase her talent and work ethic and I think that will propel her to a starting spot. She's got what it takes."

William Goldenberg pulled off a rare feat when Oscar nominations were announced. He received two bids for Best Editing, for "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," making him the first editor to receive dual nominations since 1990, when Walter Murch was in contention for both "Ghost" and "The Godfather, Part III."
The honor is also meaningful to Goldenberg for another reason: for years he was mentored by Michael Kahn, a veteran in the field who accomplished the same feat 25 years ago for his work on "Empire of the Sun" and "Fatal Attraction." What's more, Kahn, a regular Steven Spielberg collaborator, is also nominated this year for cutting "Lincoln," pitting teacher against student.
But Goldenberg has nothing but affection for his Oscar adversary. He says, "[Michael Kahn] and I saw each other at the Critics' Choice Awards … even though we don't see each other that often we're still really connected, and he was so happy for me and proud of me and that just made me feel really great."
Goldenberg is also proud to have worked with directors Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow. "I know it sounds cheesy, because of course I just worked for them," he says, "but it's the truth: they're both incredible talents in the editing room … It's a partnership editing a movie, and I think they're both great partners."
"Argo" is Goldenberg's second film with Affleck, having previously edited his 2007 directorial debut, "Gone Baby Gone." "He knew his way around the editing room and knew his way around the set in a way that was way more sophisticated than the usual first-time director," Goldenberg remembers of their earlier collaboration. "But you could see on 'Argo' his confidence as a director just blossomed."
Affleck and Bigelow were both surprisingly overlooked for Best Director at the Oscars, though Goldenberg's pair of nominations gives both "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" hope of a Best Picture triumph. No film since "Driving Miss Daisy" in 1989 has won the top prize without a directing bid, but it has been even longer – "Ordinary People" in 1980 – since a film has won without an editing nomination.
Film: Tom O'Neil (Gold Derby) only one to go 5/5
TV: Joyce Eng (TV Guide), Tariq Khan (Fox News), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby) tops

191 Dedman to Coombs
Cablegram 6068 CANBERRA, 1 November 1946
1. I agree in general with tactical course proposed in your T.E.14. [1] However, I suggest further consideration of the following points:(a) United States draft Charter [2] contains impairment clauses permitting discriminatory sanctions against countries infringing undertakings in respect of tariff and preference negotiations (Article 18(3)), quantitative restrictions on balance of payments grounds (Article 20(3) (c)), and general objects of Commercial Policy Chapter (Article 30). These provide strong argument for application of similar principle in respect of employment and international resources undertakings, effectiveness of which is necessary condition for success of commercial policy plans.
(b) Under alternative suggested by you as second line of defence, it might still be necessary to make specific reference to possibility of discriminatory as well as general release from obligations. Otherwise general anti-discrimination provisions of United States draft Charter might be held to prohibit the Organisation from permitting action against offending country alone, even if it could be convinced as suggested in last sentence of your third paragraph.
(c) At an appropriate stage it may be necessary to draw a distinction between an offence against the international resources undertaking (which may or may not arise from failure to maintain employment) and an offence simply against the employment undertaking.
Discriminatory trade restrictions against a country persistently failing to use its international monetary resources to the full would, as you indicate, be the least cumulative method of coping with the resulting balance of payments problem and would also act as a deterrent penalty. But against a country failing to maintain employment while continuing to make full use of its international resources, such restrictions would not contribute much to the resulting employment problems of other countries and might even make the position worse by deepening the depression in the offending country with cumulative ill effects for others. Hence, in respect of the employment undertaking considered by itself, it would seem that any impairment clause should ideally provide for:-
(i) Any necessary release from general commercial policy obligations which would stand in the way of a shift of resources out of depressed industries dependent on demand from the offending country, and into new and expanding industries which might require tariff or other protection. Naturally, any such shift should be accomplished, as far as possible, without protective measures.
(There seems no economic reason why any protective measures should discriminate against the offending country, so long as it continues to spend or lend its international monetary resources to the full.) (ii) A deterrent penalty in some more satisfactory form than the two-edged weapon of discriminatory trade restrictions against the offending country. (But whether such a penalty could be devised in any acceptable form is, of course, highly doubtful.) Thus it may be wise to press for discriminatory sanctions primarily in relation to the international resources undertaking rather than the employment undertaking. This could be supported as an extension into I.T.O. and a strengthening of the 'scarce currency' provisions of Bretton Woods (which, it will be recalled, were originally proposed by United States of America in the 'White Scheme').
(d) Argument under (c) assumes that a country failing to maintain employment will also fail to maintain its demand for imports and thus give rise to employment problems elsewhere (even if it continues to make full use of its international resources by lending to cover its import surplus). This is no doubt a realistic assumption, but some thought might be given to the possibility of measures designed to maintain import demand (e.g., by special Governmental import programmes) even in the face of unemployment.
2. It is very gratifying to see the influence of our pressure in the United Kingdom draft Convention telegraphed in T.E.15. The positive approach of clause (6) is especially encouraging. [3]

HyperPi 0.99
Version and / or Patch Used: 0.99
Developer Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
Product Homepage: http://www.virgilioborges.com.br
HyperPi is a front end for SuperPi that allows for multiple concurrent instances of SuperPi to be run on each core recognized by the system. It is very dependent on CPU to memory to HDD speed. The faster these components, the faster it is able to figure out the number Pi to the selected length.
For our testing we use the 32M run. This means that each of the four physical and four logical cores for the i7 and the four physical cores of the i5 is trying to calculate the number Pi out to 32 million decimal places. Each "run" is a comparative to ensure accuracy and any stability or performance issues in the loop mentioned above will cause errors in calculation.
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.00.1035BETA
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.AIDA64.com
Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
Checking out Hyper Pi performance you can see our numbers come in at the same level as the ASRock Z87 OC Formula, but a little slower than the MSI MPOWER MAX, which offered some fantastic performance out of the box.
AIDA64 on the other hand sees this GIGABYTE offering line up with the MSI offering. Overclocking really sees some great performance and you can see under Hyper Pi we come in at just under 10 minutes.

On Monday 26 October Abigroup announced the winners of our Regional Engineering/Surveying Scholarship Programme in Western Australia at Geraldton Senior College's valedictory ceremony.
Flynn Drage, Nick Ioannidis and Danny Datta-Johnson, were awarded the scholarships which include tuition/HECS fees, a laptop, paid work experience, mentoring and the opportunity for employment after graduation. In addition, a further student, Tamara Legge, was offered vocational employment after a years study and the possibility for her to claim a scholarship in the future.
The Scholarship scheme is a joint initiative with Main Roads Western Australia and aims to achieve the following objectives:
Abigroup's Western Region Engineering Manager, Mark Davidovic, said, "I know from my own personnel experience that the transition from school to university is tough for regional students."
"Without this programme, it is unlikely these kids would have had the ability to follow this career path."
"We will not only provide them with financial support but allocate mentors to aid their development and then give them the security of two years employment following the completion of their courses. Hopefully they will continue to work for Abigroup for many years beyond that.."
Two of the successful students will study towards a Diploma of Surveying and one will complete a Civil Engineering degree at Curtin University.
The students were selected following a process led by WA HR Manager, Abby Kenward, and Project Manager, Craig Irvine, which included a written application, nomination from the school, site familiarisation tours and interviews with school officials, students, parents and Abigroup managers.
Mark congratulated the winning students and wished them luck with their coming courses.

Acting as an amazing tool to clear the air about ever-popular carb myths, the Good Carbs vs. Bad Carbs Infographic is here to help when you can't decide between an apple and a slice of bread.
Colorful, short and sweet, the chart is almost impossibly easy to understand. Though providing fairly intuitive information, the graph breaks down and dissects the confusing carb-hating sentiment that has dominated the past decade. In short, the lesson is that no matter how many carbs, you should probably eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid freaking out your body by eating foods with a high glycemic index.
Whether you're an Atkins believer or a hater, the infographic will at the very least break down where carb theories are coming from.

I've always had a good experience at American Bounty. It's a quaint, comfortable atmosphere.mi wish they were still in business.
Our experiences there were good. We will always remember the wait staff and the ambiance. THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED .. and for sale.
Nice place for Sunday lunch. Sorry they're now closed. I think they've even sold the fixtures. No idea what will go in there next. Sad to see them go.
one of my favorite restaurants I will miss it when it shut down next month. Good luck to all the workers
I have only been here a couple times over the past couple years, but on both occasions I was disappointed. Either the food isn't as good as it once was or my standards have risen. Intriguing building, but the food falls short. I'm hopeful that I had the misfortune of ordering the wrong items or visiting on the wrong day.... More
After a 20 Mile bike ride, and a near death experience (not from the distance but from an ATV crossing the trail at full speed) at the kattie trail, It was time to find something new ...after a bit of a drive we came into Washington MO. Charming place rode the water front until we stumble upon a nice small... More
The ambiance of the old building on the riverfront is great. The menu has many food selections, with an average length wine list. Our group of 5 had average attentiveness from the servers. Two of us had the angus beef strip steak and loved them. Two of us had the shrimp pasta, and agreed that while the taste was good,... More
My wife & I had dinner here on Friday, July 19, 2013. It was a great experience start to finish. We were seated in the back room which has a circular stone wall & a bar, and much tradition. Just a great feel. We were the first couple in the room at 5:45 PM. By the time we left all... More
We live locally, but had never been here before. We got a babysitter and decided to try it out. We waited for about 10min at the hostess station, before deciding to seat ourselves. After another 10min the waitress came over and acted appalled that we were even there, gave us menus and disappeared for a while. Eventually our order was... More
Really was a wonderful experience. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food. We had a bit of a wait so we were not charged for our meal. I definitely intend to return to Old Vine Riverfront Bistro!
