I love this cleanser, I've been using it for about 6 months now. I use other cleansers in between too, but I think this one is the one i will use long term. It leaves my face squeaky clean and feels very organic, the consistency is a little watery though. I bought a giant 32 oz bottle online at vitacost, then i pour it out onto an old pump bottle. I think a big bottle should last me a year, what a deal ;).
I have been using this for at least 2 years now and have recommended it to my friends. It took me awhile searching for a nonSLS that could still clean my face. I love the smell, I love tea tree oil :)
It can get drying, but I live in a humid country; so it works fine. I use it morning and night. I've bought the really big bottles and use my own dispenser.
Holy hell this smells NASTY! I can smell the hawaiian ginger in it, which I like, but otherwise ewwww. For being all natural it smells TOXIC! Once it's rinsed though it has a more plant/soapy smell on my skin that I don't mind. That being said, I really like this cleanser. I have combo skin, a tiny bit oily with a few dry patches, just a little acne around my chin and forehead. That being said, I have some stubbon tiny acne bumps on my forhead - those pesky little bumps that you can only see up close that won't go away. Salacylic acid never works, and Benzoyl Peroxide I respond to pretty well, but neither helped in this case. I used this cleanser and I can see them going away! Now I'm hoping it will get rid of the little patch on my chin. The blackheads on my nose seem to be going away too. It is not drying for me at all. If anything my skin feels softer after washing. I think if I was feeling under the weather or hungover I could just not bring myself to use it since I hate the smell, but I love what it does, so I'll keep using it until I find the next best thing!

This is my HG cleanser for my sensitive, dry, acne prone skin. My face feels clean after using this, and it takes off makeup so well that I even use it to wash off some of my makeup brushes (it takes off more makeup than my Sephora Brush Shampoo). This has also helped tone down my acne, since whenever I stop using this my acne tends to come back worse.
I don't really like the pump because it squirts out the product, but I don't mind it much because this cleanser works so well. While my skin does feel dry after using this, I moisturize well with Cetaphil afterwards. I've used this cleanser for about 4+ years now, and although I do switch cleansers every now and then I always end up coming back to this one.
EDIT: This cleanser seems more like liquid soap. As I started trying out better cleansers that are gentle but cleanses well, this cleanser pales in comparison because it leaves a tight feeling. I definitely won't buy this again.

This is my first review, although I have spent dozens of hours researching products on MA. And this product is my Holy Grail.
My skin WAS terribly congested, acne-prone, and tomato-red with uneven texture and acne-scars. I was living under layers of thick foundation (Lancome Teinte Idole Ultra -- about one $55 CDN bottle every two months).
For the past few weeks, I have devoted myself to a strict regimen of Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean twice per day to cleanse, followed by a toner of witch hazel in the mornings, and apple cider vinegar/green tea/aspirin toner in the evenings (50/50 and ten powder-crushed pills). After the morning toner application, I apply a simple moisturizer (Life Brand's generic "Cetaphil") mixed with a good dose of tea tree oil, and dab any remaining acne spots with Benzoyl Peroxide. After cleansing at night, I apply the ACV/GT/aspirin toner every half hour or so for a few hours. The reason for using two different toners is that the ACV smell is far too intense for daytime, and the undissolved bits of aspirin are rather grainy.
The results: my skin congestion is almost completely resolved, I am just clearing up some small residual pore-plugs, my skin is as smooth as the halcyon days of my youth, and the redness has improved by about 80% -- with a corresponding 80% reduction in my make-up coverage.
The DE cleanser, itself, REALLY cleans my face. Points deducted for the watery product, but I picked up a "foaming bottle" at the Dollarama, and it works beautifully. One pump of the foamed product is plenty.
Like many of you, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on products over the years (I just turned 40). I am so very grateful to the reviewers on MUA for helping me find a regimen that is highly effective, inexpensive, and natural.

Wasn't what I expected at all. So this is the second product that marks my love for all organic facial cleansers ending. While it isn't completely harsh, it leaves my skin tighter than I feel comfortable, esp if I used this a lot. I'm beginning to understand that when it comes to organic facial cleansers, you get what you pay for. The best ones are the pricier ones starting from Suki's lemon grass cleanser ($32), then Mychelle's scrub ($28), then Korres Orange Emulsion ($24), then John Masters Rose face wash ($22). All of them superior to this in every way, meaning...they work and/or are very luxurious to use.
They're non-drying. Which is the biggest thing for me. Despite me being oily, I cannot stand dehydration in any form. Firm skin is nice (Suki's delivers that), but not when it is so tight that I'll become more oily because of it. I like my skin soft (hence, why you should always use organic, because no chemicals).
They're organic. Organic comes secondary to the drying issue, but it's a nice thing to know. Gives me peace of mind, and I feel like I'm taking good care of myself. No drawbacks, if a product works and is organic, it's a hands down winner.
Thirdly, the scent. If the scent is good, I always want to use it (L'occitane's hand cream, Suki's and John Masters cleansers, Fresh Rose Mask, etc).
This scent was horrible. Not something I wanted/expected to smell at all. I'm guessing I just don't like the tea tree scent. (as I tried their blemish stick too) It doesn't soothe me at all, and it would never make me look forward to cleaning my face. More like, dread...=(
This is not where it's at, ladies. There are better things out there. But my kudos to you for keeping it organic. Or at least, considering it.

I bought this product over a year ago when I was trying to use more natural and cruelty-free products. After using for awhile, I started to notice breakouts which I blamed on the makeup I was using, then the moisturizer, my diet, and so on.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the use of this cleanser, and my face is breaking out constantly. I am under a lot of stress (grad student, can't be helped...), but I need a good cleanser to help prevent breakouts despite my stress. I'm thinking I'm either allergic to the ingredients, they changed the formula at some point (I'm on my second bottle), or it is just too drying.
Biggest Problems:
-My skin is very dry
-Irritates existing bumps/causes them to scab
-Bumps aren't healing well
-Cystic pimples constantly (when I used to have maybe 1 or two a year).
More reviews by starryeyedlady
I have been wanting to try this face wash for months and was so excited when I finally bought it. I read lots of raves reviews of how it cleared acne and was great for sensitive skin. This wash seems perfect in theory: tea tree, cruelty free, no chemicals. But this was the worst thing I ever put on my face. I guess my skin couldn't handle all of the oils and castile soap. It burned very badly. And as I lathered my face it would sting terribly. This was quite painful and highly irritating to me. Words can't describe how irritated my face looked after washing. My face was red and blotchy. I stopped using this after 2 days. I was very dissapointed and just threw it away.
I would buy this again because of its ingredients and because my usual cleanser (Natural Body Sea Cleanse) is so expensive. However, I really feel like it strips my dehydrated/oily acne prone skin. And even though my skin feels stripped, it doesn't take off all of the makeup. However, my husband uses it with no problems.

The Palace of Auburn Hills
Attendance: None
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - LeBron James' near triple-double helped the Cavaliers show Detroit, the premier Eastern Conference franchise over the past decade, a quick exit from the postseason, as Cleveland completed a sweep of the Pistons with a 99-78 triumph in Game 4 of their quarterfinal series.
James led the top-seeded Cavaliers with 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. Cleveland will now have plenty of rest before the conference semifinals, where it will face the winner of the Atlanta-Miami series. The Heat currently lead the matchup, 2-1.
The MVP candidate James also made 16 free throws, as the Cavs sank 23-of-24 from the line overall in the win, their eighth straight over Detroit in the playoffs dating back to the 2007 conference finals.
"We responded really well. Coming into a hostile building and playing the way we played today was very good," James said. "It's important to close out a team, but it's more important that you play well and get better in that game."
Mo Williams, coming off a 1-for-11 effort from the field in Game 3, chipped in 24 points, while Delonte West added 12 and five assists.
"Everybody stepped up and contributed in one way or another," Cavs head coach Mike Brown said.
The Pistons, meanwhile, had their streak of six straight trips to the East finals snapped in embarrassing fashion. Playoff heroes of past, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace, combined to go 3-for-24 from the field and totaled eight points, with none from Wallace.
Antonio McDyess and Will Bynum paced eighth-seeded Detroit with 26 and 22 points, respectively.
The Pistons held a 27-26 lead after 12 minutes but made just six field goals in the second stanza.
Williams' floater ignited eight straight Cleveland points early in the frame. A pair of Joe Smith free throws closed the flurry for a 38-31 lead about 4 1/2 minutes in, and the Cavs cruised to a 51-42 halftime lead.
The hosts scored the first six points of the third, as Rodney Stuckey's bucket cut the Pistons' deficit to three. But after trading baskets the Cavs answered with nine consecutive points, highlighted by West's three-point play for a 62-50 cushion with five minutes to go.
The margin was 73-60 heading to the fourth, where the Pistons showed little intensity in trying to mount a comeback. A 7-0 Cleveland spurt early on made it an 18-point game.
James' uncontested dunk at the five-minute mark provided an 86-69 lead and the crowd, now primarily consisting of Cleveland fans, showered the 24-year- old with chants of adulation with outcome no longer in question.
"It was written in stone even before we stepped on that court it seemed like," McDyess said. "There wasn't anything we could do...It was just embarrassing for me just to hear the fans and all the people rooting against us in our own arena."

So, I didn't really want to do this, but, after Pat Y (and other various things I've read) have suggested Carolina is definitely looking hard at Luke Kuechly, I thought I would re-do my Final Mock, closer to what I think will actually happen when the Draft comes around in less than a month.
Round 1, Pick #9 - Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College
I haven't been on the Luke Kuechly train, but the more that I've read about the guy, the more that I've come to realize, the guy is absolute monster. He's young, smart, and fills a position of worry that we have. Would Beason have to move to the outside? Would Kuechly play on the outside? I'm not sure, but, the fact is, the guy will probably be the best player available when we draft (barring any sort of miracle where Morris Claiborne falls to us.)
Round 2, Pick #8 - Janoris Jenkins, North Alabama
At the next level, Janoris Jenkins could be a better player than Joe Haden is now, and that's impressive. Jenkins has already shown his skills against two of the better rookie receivers (Julio Jones and AJ Green) shutting them down in their respective match-ups. He's a great on-ball defender, can completely take a receiver out of the game, and opposite Chris Gamble, could become great. The only concern with Janoris Jenkins is his character. You have to worry if you're getting the next Revis or the next Pacman Jones. While he has all the talent in the world, that would mean nothing if he couldn't keep out of trouble. But, I'm hard pressed to believe that a guy like Rivera, one of the most physically intimidating coaches I've ever seen, couldn't keep Jenkins in check. Between Rivera, Beason, Thomas Davis, and Steve Smith, I can't believe he would be out of hand, which would make him an incredible pick up.
Round 4, Pick #8 - Joe Adams, WR/KR/PR, Arkansas
Joe Adams provides an instant upgrade to Punt Returner and Kick Returner, replacing Armanti almost immediately. Joe also gives us a flexible option in the slot receiver spot by being a similar sized guy as Armanti, but while playing his natural position. Joe also took hand-offs out of the backfield, giving another wrinkle to the offense for Cam, Chud, and the rest of the offense.
Round 5, Pick #9 - Derek Wolfe, DT, Cincinnati
With all of the DTs going in the first few rounds, I could definitely see Wolfe (who is projected as a late 4th rounder) falling to us at the top of the 5th round. Derek is definitely a UT, which could play well alongside of Edwards and Shirley. Wolfe can be a pass rushing menace, proving so by winning Big East Player of the Year. Definitely a worthy pick-up.
Round 6, Pick #8 - Donte Paige-Moss, DE, UNC
Just two seasons ago, Piage-Moss was considered as good as Quinton Coples. But, Paige-Moss is a guy who believes overly in himself more than he does anything else, which leads to some serious character concerns. That, coupled with the fact that Paige-Moss is injured, allows him to fall all the way down to us in the sixth round. If Paige-Moss is motivated, he could take Hardy's job and play at an extremely high level. If he thinks he's going to run the show, here will be very different results.
Round 6, Pick #38 - Bryan Anger, P, Cal
The consensus best Punter in the draft. Anger could come in and instantly upgrade the Punter position. I understand that Justin Medlock could punt, but I think by the end of Training Camp, Medlock will have taken Mare's spot and Anger will be the starting Punter.
Round 7, Pick #9 - Ronald Leary, OG, Memphis
I admittedly have never seen Ronald Leary play, but Rivera thought highly enough of him to bring him in for interviews. I do know that Leary is a big guy (6'3/315lbs) and he was voted co-team MVP (with Dontari Poe) by teammates. Scouts have him going anywhere from the 7th-UDFA list, but, I think that we can definitely take a flier on him in the 7th round.

Absolute beast of a mock. Wish this would really happen on draft weekend.
Posted 31 March 2012 - 09:36 PM
WOW that's almost perfect. I agree with everything.
Been watching a lot of mocks and draft buzz and it looks like Joe Adams will go in the 3rd. Him in the 4th would be an absolute steal. If he's not there we will probably take another PR/KR like Graham or Wylie the kid they went to see from Fresno.

Nice contrast from jubilant/triumphant in the last panel to terrified in this one. The Lizzark perched on the side of the hut is very creepy. Kind of feels like this has been the prologue and the main story will be Herk as an adult.
Or this is going to turn into a very surreal version of Finding Nemo.
oh crap on a crap cracker.. the whole village.
This is why I could never live happily in one of these classic peaceful villages… they've got their own defense measures that do okay, but I prefer some kind of overarcing safety net of civilization.. even if it comes with a lot of bad side-effects. -
Holy shit this is getting dark.
So good!
Man, that's the problem with infrequent updates. This is all expository stuff, but we've been with it for so long that it feels like the world we've invested in is falling apart! It feels like the middle or the end of a book rather than the beginning. Does that make sense?
Basically what I'm saying is HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO DEEPLY FOR THESE CHARACTERS?
Wow! This shifted really fast. It's only page 25 and there all doomed.
I love it. Keep it up. It's going to be a fun ride -
Ooooh, like Vikings! Pillage and plunder, YAY!
Well, okay, not so much fun for our protagonists…
Newts are the perfect animal for you to have chosen, Doug. They seem so vulnerable in many ways. I really fear for the characters. They are very heroic to stand up when the enemy is so big.
Reminds me of the movie Titan AE where the earth explodes in the first few minutes of the film. The humans in that movie were the soft, helpless ones who turned out to be not-so-helpless.
Creature Tech had a long intro. I guess Nnewts did too. No!!! poor little orphaned Herk. :'-(
My heart is breaking for poor Herk because all I can think is that his mom isn't going to survive this and he's going to become a superhero because superheroes happen when you lose your mom (or both parents). And all the babies in the pool! Insert big fat tears from me, here.
I think it's Mom's order to never come back that hurts me the most. Not only is Herk about to lose everyone, he's about to lose everything he's ever known. It's not just the end of his family; it's the end of his whole world.
So this the story of Herk then? How he makes it alone and discovers his own ability to do magic like his dad (after he gets the ability to walk on his legs that is)? How he returns and exacts revenge upon the creatures that destroyed his village and slew his parents?
Also, in the first panel someone yells, "Where have the hunters gone?" implying that, what, there are only three hunters for the whole village? I just assumed that Gullimar, Urch, and Odetto were friends who went out to hunt, but that there were still more hunters in the village, not just those three. How small is the village to only have three hunters? Or are there more, but we haven't been told yet why they are missing?
Too many questions and difficulty being patient…but loving this story so far. Keep up the great work Doug!
Oh, wow! Excellent turn-around there. Poor Herk. He is losing everything, as someone else said. And his poor mother! That had to be painful for her to say, to know that she'll probably die, leaving him all alone, but she made the right decision. I can't wait to find out what happens next!
really enjoying the artwork on this! The more dramatic it goes the more the art seems to flourish.
Why does that Lizzark need a sword? They have knives right in their hands…

Doo-Yeoun C et al. - The present study demonstrated that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and homocysteine are well associated with the 10-year coronary artery disease (CAD) risk estimated using NCEP ATP III in Koreans and combination of hs-CRP and homocysteine can have strong synergy in predicting the development of CAD.
Methods- A total of 10 650 subjects (6538 men and 4112 women) were enrolled in this study.
- A 10-year CAD risk was calculated using Framingham risk score modified by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and levels of circulating hs-CRP, homocysteine and fibrinogen were measured using validated assays.
- The 10-year CAD risk gradually augmented with increase in the circulating levels of hs-CRP, homocysteine and fibrinogen.
- For the highest quartile of hs-CRP, odds ratio (OR) of high-risk for CAD (10-year risk ≥20%) compared with the lowest quartile was 3.97 (95% CI: 2.51–6.29).
- For homocysteine and fibrinogen, ORs in the highest quartile compared to the lowest quartile were 5.10 (95% CI: 3.05–8.53, P <0.001) and 1.46 (95% CI: 0.69–3.11, P=0.325), respectively.
- OR of high-risk for CAD in both the highest quartile of hs-CRP and homocysteine was 9.05 (95% CI: 5.30–15.45) compared with the below median of hs-CRP and homocysteine.

We are replacing a true 58"long double skirted bathtub. Since I can't find a double skirted tub (this one is 40 years old) we will have to build a pony wall to accommodate an alcove installation. My problem is we only have 92.5" from wall to wall, and that must accommodate the new 60" tub, new 4" wide pony wall, and 30" for my toilet - this all adds up to 94" and I only have 92.5". I'm thinking I might make up a half inch when the tub goes behind the wall to the studs but I'll still be shy an inch for my toilet. I guess my question is when they say a tub is 60", is it really? Or is it 59.5"? Am I missing something? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You could use 2x3 framing lumber or 1-5/8" steel studs (not available from big boxes). Change your search "Item" from skirted, to apron, in your case, full apron, a trade standard terminology. |

Now that the holiday season has drawn to a close, a lot of you probably have shiny new Android-powered gifts you're struggling to put down for more than 30 seconds. That also means your brand-new toy might not yet have a case - and we're here to help. Our friends at Amzer have graciously provided 50 of their awesome phone cases to help protect your Android device from the many dangers it will face throughout its life.
Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a giveaway featuring not one, but ten cases from these 2 quality manufacturers: Gizmo Dorks and Amzer! They are:
- 2x for the Droid Incredible
- 2x for the EVO 4G
- 2x for the Droid X
- 2x for the Droid 2
- 2x for the original Droid
Each Amzer case is worth about $13 on average, while the Gizmo Dorks is usually $10 but currently on sale for $3.
A few weeks ago, Amzer sent us some sample products to review for the EVO. They included two silicone cases (one red, one black), a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and 2 screen protectors (one mirror, one clear).
Amzer is owned by Moftware, parent company of numerous smaller, more specific companies. The company isn't some dinky accessory maker – they estimate that they sold 250,000 accessories for the EVO alone in the first two weeks after the phones release.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. | 1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: |
2 And he said to them, "I am [a] hundred and twenty years old {today}; I am not able to go out and to come [in] [any] longer, and Yahweh said to me, 'You may not cross this Jordan.' | 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.' |
3 Yahweh your God [is about to] cross {before you}; he will destroy these nations {before you}, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua [will be] crossing {before you}, [just] as Yahweh {promised}. | 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. |
4 And Yahweh will do to them [just] as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to their land, which he destroyed with them. | 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. |
5 And Yahweh {will deliver them to you before you}, and you shall do to them according to every commandment that I have commanded you. | 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. |
6 Be strong and be courageous; you should not be afraid, and you {should not be in dread from their presence}, for Yahweh your God [is] the [one] going with you; he will not leave you alone and he will not forsake you." | 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." |
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua, and he said to him {in the presence of all Israel}, "Be strong and be courageous, for you will go with this people into the land that Yahweh swore to their ancestors to give to them, and you will give it to them as an inheritance. | 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. |
8 Yahweh [is] the [one] going {before you}; he will be with you, and he will not leave you alone, and he will not forsake you; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not be discouraged." | 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." |
9 So Moses wrote this law, and he gave it to the priests, the descendants of Levi, the [ones] carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and to all the elders of Israel. | 9 So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. |
10 Then Moses commanded them, {saying}, "At the end of seven years, in the time of the year for canceling debts during the Feast of Booths, | 10 Then Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles, |
11 {when all Israel comes to appear before} Yahweh their God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel {in their hearing}. | 11 when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing. |
12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little children and your aliens that are in your {towns}, so that they may hear and so that they may learn and they may revere Yahweh your God, and {they shall diligently observe} all the words of this law. | 12 Assemble the people--men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns--so they can listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. |
13 And [then] their children, who have not known, they [too] may hear, and they may learn to revere Yahweh their God all the days {that you live} on the land that you [are] crossing the Jordan {to get there} to take possession of it." | 13 Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess." |
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Look, {you are about to die}; call Joshua and present yourselves in [the] tent of assembly, so that I may instruct him." So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in [the] tent of assembly. | 14 The LORD said to Moses, "Now the day of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, where I will commission him." So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting. |
15 And Yahweh appeared in the tent in a column of cloud, and the column of the cloud stood at the entrance of the tent. | 15 Then the LORD appeared at the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the Tent. |
16 And Yahweh said to Moses, "Look, you [are] about to lie [down] with your ancestors, and this people will arise and they will play the prostitute after {the foreign gods} of the land {to which they are going}. | 16 And the LORD said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them. |
17 And {my anger shall flare up against them} on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall become as prey, and disasters and troubles shall find them, and they shall say on that day, '[Is it] not because our God is not in our midst [that] these disasters have found us?' | 17 On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, 'Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?' |
18 But I will certainly hide my face on that day, because [of] all of the evil that they did because they turned to other gods. | 18 And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods. |
19 "And so then write this song for yourselves and teach it to the {Israelites}; put it in their mouth, so that this song may be for me as a witness against the {Israelites}. | 19 "Now write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for me against them. |
20 For when I bring them into the land that I swore to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, {they will eat their fill}, and they will become fat, and [then] they will turn to other gods, and they will serve them, and they will spurn me, and they will break my covenant. | 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant. |
21 {And then} many disasters and troubles will come upon them, and this song will give evidence before them as a witness, because it will not be forgotten from [out of] the mouth of their descendants, for I know their inclination that they [are] having {today} before I have brought them into the land that I swore." | 21 And when many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath." |
22 And Moses wrote this song on that day and taught it [to] the {Israelites}. | 22 So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites. |
23 Then he told Joshua the son of Nun, and said [to him], "Be strong and be courageous, for you shall bring the {Israelites} into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you." | 23 The LORD gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: "Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you." |
24 {And then when Moses finished writing} the words of this law on the scroll {until they were complete}, | 24 After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, |
25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, {saying}, | 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD: |
26 "Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you. | 26 "Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. There it will remain as a witness against you. |
27 For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck [even now] while I [am] still alive with you {today}, rebelling against Yahweh, and {how much more} after my death. | 27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! |
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may speak in their ears these words, and [that] I may call as witness against them heaven and earth. | 28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them. |
29 For I know that after my death you will certainly act corruptly, and you will turn aside from the way that I have commanded you, and the disaster in the future days will befall you, because you will do evil in the eyes of Yahweh, {provoking him with the work of your hands}." | 29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made." |
30 So Moses spoke into the ears of the assembly of Israel the words of this song {until they were complete}. | 30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel: |

Interview: John Burnside
John Burnside made his first contribution to Granta in issue 94: On the Road Again. One of the most prolific writers of his generation, he has, since 1988, published thirteen collections of poetry, including The Asylym Dance, one collection of short stories and eight novels, including Glister. He is the winner of the Whitbread Poetry award (for The Aslym Dance) and has twice been short-listed for the T.S. Eliot Prize. He talks to Rachael Allen about the presence of nature in his poetry, the role of myth in his latest novel (A Summer of Drowning) and learning to live with a feeling of nothingness.
RA: In your poems, nature and humanity often appear to swap roles. Are you trying to show us the tangled relationship between the two?
JB: I think I do take solace in the natural world – though I hope that's not an easy solace. I do hope that I come up against the harsh, the bloody, the seemingly cruel in what we think of as nature – including human nature. And I hope I preserve a sense of the mystery of that cruelty. Sometimes it's a very beautiful cruelty – it's not cruel, per se, of course, it only seems so to us, because we are attached to our own interests – and, on I think I do take solace in the natural world – though I hope that's not an easy solace.occasion, a sense of that beauty lifts one above one's attachments. So that line between 'the human' and 'nature', the ragged edge of culture, so to speak, is still a source of fascination to me and a challenge. A challenge in the sense that an annunciation is a challenge – it calls us to possibilities that we hadn't imagined, and perhaps wouldn't have chosen, in what we think of as an ideal world. Maybe there's a suspicion, alongside this, that the ideal world is sort of there, if we can only meet it halfway. Poetry is, I think, an attempt to pre-empt the kind of speech that closes down the possibility of such a meeting, an attempt to keep oneself open linguistically and sensually and imaginatively to the world as it is, rather than using it as a movie screen for received ideas and second-rate wishes. Marx said the forest only echoes back what you shout into it – and this is very often true, perhaps more often than not, but I think the poet's task is to suggest that it needn't be.
Do you attempt to bring about some kind of environmental awareness in your poetry?
Well, I'm not sure how I feel about this now. When I started writing poetry I had some naïve ideas about it, but that's changed somewhat – partly because there is so much 'environmental' poetry about these days and some of it is marvellous and challenging, but some of it feels a bit New-Labour-Focus-Groupish in its orthodoxy. I still succumb to an old temptation to think poetry can make a specific point - the last very obvious environmental poem I wrote was a bemused gasp of horror at the simplistic view of the pro-wind lobby, so-called 'greens' who haven't given the issue a moment's real thought (or done much research), with the result that they are merely helping fat cats get (huge to massive) subsidies to erect gigantic commercial turbines that will have no effect on our carbon footprint, but will make a lot of the wrong people even richer, with further disastrous consequences for social justice and the environment. They are being played, in short. Frieda Hughes wrote very eloquently about this recently – but she was wise enough to do so in prose. And I think this is important: poetry sacrifices something when it starts campaigning for the environment, it has to work more subtly on how we imagine ourselves, and we could do with imagining ourselves as fuller, more sensual, more responsive – wilder, in the fullest sense of that term - than we are. If we could become authentically wild in our way of being, then we might save – in a wu wei sense of saving by not needing to save – 'what's left of the planet' (by which, I mean not physical fabric as much as imaginative space).
You have been publishing poetry collections since 1988 and have brought out either a novel or collection just about every year. That's a pretty prolific output by most standards. How do you manage to produce so much material so regularly?
There's probably something reflexive in this, but I don't actually think of myself as prolific. And I have to confess that I find my lack of a writing schedule fairly frustrating. I have a very full-time job and two incredible, captivating and endlessly challenging sons – and I do protest that fitting in the writing I'd like to do (both in terms of ambition and quality) is fairly difficult. That When I worked in the computing industry, I would compose poems at work – I've always composed in my head, or 'on the lips', as Mandelstam saysmay sound odd, for someone who publishes so often, but the other side of my life is that I never stop thinking about my writing, or almost never. When I worked in the computing industry, I would compose poems at work – I've always composed in my head, or 'on the lips', as Mandelstam says – rolling the lines around at the back of my head while in business meetings or driving to see clients or whatever. I work in similar ways now – which means I can seem distracted, occasionally lacking in the social graces, or just plain rude at times. I do write a good deal at night – insomnia may well be the defining malaise of my life. But really, I very rarely have the luxury of a writing schedule – in the past I have spent time away on residencies or retreats, and I got huge amounts of actual writing down on paper then. But the thinking, the working out, the imagining – that happens pretty much as and when.
Your new novel mixes myth and legend with what is actually true. What was the inspiration behind the novel?
It all started when I first visited the Arctic Circle, (which I now realise was back in 1996). I was invited to the University of Tromsø to take part in a symposium. As soon as I got there I fell in love with the place – especially with the island of Kvaløya, to which my friend Dag Andersson introduced me on that first trip, and to which I returned several times over the next few years (as well as travelling in Finnmark and northern Finland at various times). During one of those visits, I heard the story of the huldra. She is usually associated with places further south (if you go on the little tourist train at Flåm, you can actually see her – the company pays a local beauty to dance around in a red dress through the summer months, hard by the railway line), but some further research suggested that she was a more or less universal figure. Briefly, she is a troll who appears as a beautiful woman to beguile a young man, drawing him away from his safe world and into danger, usually leading to his death. What interested me about the core story is the detail that, if the young man can look behind her, if he can look past the illusion for a moment, he sees through it – in the Norwegian version, by noticing that this lovely woman has a cow's tail, and in the Swedish version, by discovering a kind of Sartrean nothingness at her back, and so understanding that there's a sort of flaw in the fabric of the universe there. This is what caught my attention initially – this sense that the story said something about the illusions that inform our social and sexual lives – and what happens to someone who sees that gap in the fabric of the world and has to accommodate it in order to carry on. For me, this is a central concern, even an obsession: Sartre says 'nothingness haunts being' – and I cannot help but feel that living in the wild demands that we learn to live with that nothingness. ■

The govt is expected to provide the main financial institution the right plan objective and then allow the main financial institution space to perform it, rattling the governmental fall-out. Not all of The british issues are on the demand-side. http://www.m88so.com/Main/Home.aspx?affiliateId=97323

Poems is, I think, an make an effort to pre-empt the type of conversation that ends down the chance of such a conference, an make an effort to keep yourself start linguistically and sensually and imaginatively to the globe as it is, rather than using it as a film display for obtained concepts and second-rate desires. Marx said the woodlands only reflects returning what you yell into it – and this is very often real, perhaps more often than not, but I think the poet's process is to recommend that it need not be. http://www.accountantslondon.org/

With the greater comprehension of your body we've obtained from research in the last few decades, the advantages of the home chef are getting to be much more evident, combined with the main reasons why we should detoxify our bodies at least a year to take out harmful bacteria, and also red wigglers, from our digestive system. For people of any age, dumbbells, and abilities the main advantages of cook tend to be countless. http://silvergoldgems.com/health-update/ But for now consider ten basic advantages of the home chef

15 Minutes of Fame: Progressive guild thrives under uncommon leadership team {WoW}
Sep 30th 2011 6:20AM "To those who are trashing the guild, calling us some kind of bastion of ideological intolerance, an echo chamber, and so forth, you are wrong. And not just about this particular guild, but about other things. You're wrong to judge a group you do not understand. About one you have never visited. About labels you apply without knowing what they are. You see an inclusive group as an exclusive one. You imagine yourself some kind of hero while you make common cause with monsters. And with this knowledge, I curse you: We want to be a haven for people who want to be free from daily hatred, casual prejudice, and willful ignorance. And you could not abide us."
Yep, that will convince 'em!
15 Minutes of Fame: Progressive guild thrives under uncommon leadership team {WoW}
Sep 30th 2011 6:10AM I like how this was the only line that got any attention;
"Not to generalize too much, but this is typical of the Left."
Nowhere did I say that this guild shouldn't have a "section of the World of Warcraft universe to themselves." I play this game to get away from the political circus and can fully appreciate someone else doing the same.
This article was not posted in a vacuum, however, and when you're spotlighted primarily for being a guild tied together by common political purpose, said politics become very much part of the conversation.
By your logic, you imply that because they have to "deal with comments like mine" (opposing viewpoints, oh no!) on a daily basis that when an article like this, which devotes a good chunk of space to talking about said politics, I should just keep my opinions to myself.
If the article had just mentioned in passing how the group was formed and then went right into talking about WoW and all things WoW related, I doubt this would be such a touchy subject. However, nearly half the questions in this article pertained to the Daily Kos, and contained unnecessary pokes at political opposition.
That right there is the contention I have with this article. I don't see why that is such a hard concept to grasp.
15 Minutes of Fame: Progressive guild thrives under uncommon leadership team {WoW}
Sep 29th 2011 11:35PM Mr. Griffin,
I was not preemptively labeling disagreement as "trolling". I was simply being realistic with the nature of the internet. To think that a conservative espousing his opinion in a column about a liberal guild would not be subject to some level of trolling would be naive at best.
Don't take my precautionary comments as any indication that I would not be interested in an honest discussion.
As far as my "selective editing" goes, I fail to see how the omission of the words "In the past", the snarky comment about how the GOP won't compromise on anything, (even though for the first two years of this current administration the Democrats had a super majority and refused to work with the GOP, going so far as the POTUS saying "I won the election."), or your guilds labeling of any conservative viewpoint as a "talking point" actually hurts my point.''
Heck, I thought I was doing you a favor by ignoring those last two examples, as they simply serve to make you look petty.
Anyway, my point still stands. You accuse me of projecting racist and/or homophobic thoughts simply because I say that I disagree with your politics. Not to generalize too much, but this is typical of the Left.
Also, this comment right here;
"And we do not right wing talking points. Not We don't allow right wing talking points because all that they are racist, sexist or homophobic slurs."
Actually, I'm not even going to remark on it because I think it speaks for itself.
If the article was purely about WoW and raiding, I doubt this would have been an issue. But it wasn't.
15 Minutes of Fame: Progressive guild thrives under uncommon leadership team {WoW}
Sep 29th 2011 11:10PM No one said anything about individuals being gkicked.
And as far as "when a purported conservative is being criticized for expressing racist, homophobic, or sexist view"...
Did you know that Tea Party members are called racist because they don't like the Presidents policies? Did you know that they are also called racist because Herman Cain won a straw poll for the Republican nomination in Florida this week, because according to the liberal sage Janeane Garafalo conservatives only voted for him to hide their racism?
No matter what conservatives do, someone, somewhere, is going to call them a racist for it. It is a no-win situation.
But I digress.
My complaint was that the GM seems to see any political view, other than her own, as an intolerant one. While that is fine and dandy for her and the running of her guild, more power to them, it boggles my mind why WoWInsider decided to spotlight such an powderkeg of topic without offering any semblance of balance. Instead, the columnist sits on the sidelines and acts as a stenographer.
15 Minutes of Fame: Progressive guild thrives under uncommon leadership team {WoW}
Sep 29th 2011 8:24PM I'm sorry, but I must protest.
You have a disclaimer asking that commenters refrain from political discussion, yet a large chunk of this article is talking about the Daily Kos and involves a guild leader taking cheap swipes at people with whom she disagrees with politically.
I found this particularly galling...
"...some conservatives who were in the guild because of friends challenged us, saying while we claim to be tolerant toward diversity, we weren't tolerant of different political views....
It's not about tolerance. We absolutely do not allow any comments in guild chat or Vent that are racist, sexist, or homophobic..."
The GM makes a blanket generalization that anyone to the right of her politically is automatically racist, sexist, or a homophobe, and you don't say a thing about it. How you thought that no one would be insulted by this article is beyond me. Granted, I'm not expecting hard hitting journalism here, but I am beyond disappointed.
Alas, I seem to be swimming against the current as far as the comments go, so now that I've said my piece I'll end it here and await the trolling.
Afterall, it is the internet.
Security flaw allows addons to expose full real life names without user permission {WoW}
Jul 6th 2010 4:08PM I lean more towards choice number one. I gave my information to Blizzard and was assured that said information would remain confidential. What they are doing is a blatant disregard for that confidentiality.
If there were mechanics to make this an option rather than a mandate, I doubt that there would be the fervor that we are seeing about it now.
Security flaw allows addons to expose full real life names without user permission {WoW}
Jul 6th 2010 4:01PM We shouldn't have to give Blizzard a fake name. When I started playing this game, four years ago, I agreed to the ToS and was under the impression that my personal information was going to remain private. Nowhere was it stated that I was signing that information over to Blizzard so that they could do what they please with it further down the road.
This is a unilateral decision by Blizzard to broadcast information that apparently most of their player base thought was confidential.
Why there is such hostility from people such as yourself, who seem to think privacy on the internet is a bad thing, I will never know.
Security flaw allows addons to expose full real life names without user permission {WoW}
Jul 6th 2010 3:51PM Then hold the offending parties that leaked your "supposedly" private information accountable and demand results instead of just shrugging your shoulders and saying "Oh well".
Security flaw allows addons to expose full real life names without user permission {WoW}
Jul 6th 2010 3:47PM Shocking, isn't it?
Official forum changes, real life names to be displayed {WoW}
Jul 6th 2010 12:39PM So in an attempt to somehow quell the trolls, which will never happen, Blizzard decides to discourage people who don't want their personal information put on display from posting on the official forums.
There needs to be an mechanic that makes posting your real name optional, otherwise this is a horrible idea.
