New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 Then the Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and worshiped the Baals; | 11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals. |
12 and they abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; they followed other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were all around them, and bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger. | 12 They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They provoked the LORD to anger |
13 They abandoned the Lord, and worshiped Baal and the Astartes. | 13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. |
14 So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers who plundered them, and he sold them into the power of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. | 14 In his anger against Israel the LORD handed them over to raiders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist. |
15 Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them to bring misfortune, as the Lord had warned them and sworn to them; and they were in great distress. | 15 Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress. |
16 Then the Lord raised up judges, who delivered them out of the power of those who plundered them. | 16 Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders. |
17 Yet they did not listen even to their judges; for they lusted after other gods and bowed down to them. They soon turned aside from the way in which their ancestors had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord; they did not follow their example. | 17 Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. Unlike their fathers, they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked, the way of obedience to the LORD's commands. |
18 Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge, and he delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord would be moved to pity by their groaning because of those who persecuted and oppressed them. | 18 Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them. |
19 But whenever the judge died, they would relapse and behave worse than their ancestors, following other gods, worshiping them and bowing down to them. They would not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways. | 19 But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their fathers, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways. |

Hi all,
I have a question. We are building a home and there are several spots where the door casing will be butted up in the corner. It looks like the base will have to end or terminate into the face of the casing. The base is only about 9/16 or 5/8 thick at the thickest and the "flat" part of the colonial trim is about that same measurement. Is that going to look really odd or is that unusual? FWIW - we are using 5 1/2 base and 3 1/2 casing. Thanks

PROVIDENCE - After tying the game in the final minute, Northeastern's Braden Pimm scored 12 seconds into overtime to give the Huskies a 2-1 Hockey East win over sixth-ranked Providence College on Tuesday night at Schneider Arena.
It was a stunning loss for the Friars, who appeared to be in control with a 1-0 lead as the clock ticked down.
But Pimm whistled a 40-foot wrist shot past PC's Jon Gillies from the left boards to tie the game with 34 seconds left.
Then, in overtime, Pimm took a pass from Kevin Roy, skated in on Gillies and rifled a high shot into the net to give the 16th-ranked Huskies the win.
"We fought the puck a lot tonight. I didn't think our passing and receiving was sharp, but I still thought we played a decent game,'' said Friar coach Nate Leaman.
"Our best period was the third period, but we just couldn't get the second (goal). We had plenty of chances to get that second goal. (Northeastern goalie Clay) Witt played very well, made some big saves for them, kept them in the game. And then they get their bounce.
"This is twice we've played (Witt) and we've put close to 100 shots on him and we've scored four goals. Part of it is we need to bear down around the net. Give him credit. He made some great saves tonight,'' said Leaman.
Witt made 38 saves for Northeastern (12-6-3). Gillies, in his first game for PC after a couple of weeks with the U.S. team at the World Junior Championships, made 27 saves.
Lately, the Friars (13-4-4) have struggled offensively, scoring only four goals in their last three games, while losing twice and tying.
"It's not generating the chances, it's finishing the chances. We're not bearing down. We get a rebound with an empty net in the third period, and we put it back into the goalie,'' said Leaman.
"I thought it started against Army (a 4-1 win on Dec. 20). We were lax in that game around the net and it's carried over. The shots we're generating and the chances we're generating, I like those. But we're not finishing them and because of that we didn't put the game away tonight. We should have put it away and we didn't, and we had to pay the price for it.
The Friars had grabbed a 1-0 lead 7:57 into the first period on Ross Mauermann's 14th goal of the season. Stefan Demopoulos, back in the lineup for the first time since Nov. 22 after a knee sprain, started the play with a shot from the right-wing boards. The puck hit teammate Shane Luke and then was slammed into the net by Mauermann, PC's leading scorer.
Before the game, Calgary Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke said that the team has made no decision on whether to try to sign Gillies at the end of this season.
Burke, a PC alum and former Friar player, addressed the PC team on Monday afternoon, and attended Tuesday night's game.
He said he is satisfied with the development of Gillies, Calgary's third-round draft pick in 2012 and an NCAA 2nd team All-American as a freshman last season.
"Obviously he's had a terrific first year and a half as a Friar. And there's no reason to think that that won't continue.
"I know there's a lot of speculation that he's going to be asked to turn pro after the season, but we have not in fact made any determination yet as to his status. I met with him (Monday) and told him that. We have not promised him that he's being offered a contract at the end of the year.
"We're going to wait and see how the rest of the year goes. Certainly we're happy with his play. He's a big guy. He stops the puck. He competes. He's technically sound.''

What kind of genius came up with the idea that prunes would make a great cookie filling, to be eaten without fail once a year?
Whoever they were, they were wrong.
But have no fear! We have a new hamantaschen option for you this year, and it's as delicious as a cocktail, without the embarrassment that goes with actually being drunk at your family's Purim party.
Alison Barnett has come up with a series of cocktail-themed hamantaschen that make regular old flavors seem like a too-sweet, dry and cakey distant memory.
"[The] two main things we consume on Purim are alcohol and hamantashen. I decided to combine the two into a real fun and creative dessert," Barnett told the Forward. Her flavors include: White Russian, Tequila Sunrise, Mojito, Whiskey Sour and Cosmopolitan.
A mid-day snack tasting session by the Forward's staff saw some clear favorites emerge: Whiskey Sour, treated with suspicion at first glance because of the ominous-looking maraschino cherry embedded in the crust, was actually a surprisingly pleasant mix of almond-sugar crust and citrus filling — not too sweet, not too tangy; White Russian was, as expected, a smooth combination of Kahlua and coffee flavors (though the extra icing drizzled onto the crust was unnecessary). Finally, Tequila Sunrise packs a citrus kick strong enough to lift any remaining winter blues.
Barnett first started experimenting with the idea three years ago. This is her first year actually selling the final product (to order on Etsy, click here). $21 will get you a dozen of these goodies — try getting that deal at a bar.
According to Barnett, she's already thinking up new flavors for next year's round. Irish coffee, anyone?
Until then, try your own version of the Tequila Sunrise at home (and take a few extra sips on the side — we won't tell).
I've started noticing hamentaschen showing up in local bakeries, and it made me wonder if one of the reasons we say "Purim Sameach/Happy Purim" is because we know that we'll be eating lots of hamentaschen, the traditional Eastern-European Purim dessert. This joyous day celebrates the repeal of the death decree against the Jewish inhabitants of ancient Persia ("They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat!").
Hamantaschen and JCarrot have a long and loving relationship. We've brought you a Brazilian hamantaschen story, and written about the virtue of hamantaschen as hidden food. We've taught you how to make hamantaschen the Kibbutznik way with a recipe from Zucker Bakery and how to give them an Asian twist.. If you are looking for more ideas on how to spruce up your hamantaschen, look no further. Here are you seven recipes that will raise eyebrows — and pants sizes — at your Purim party.
1) Purim begins this Saturday night, so get in the mood by giving your Friday night dinner a Purim-themed twist: The Challah Blog has a recipe for Hamantaschen Challah.
2) The Sushi Hamantaschen from Busy in Brooklyn are actually a Japanese dish called Onigiri, but sushi almost counts as traditional Jewish food these days, right?
3) If you want to go down the multicultural route further, Bon Appetit has five savory recipes, ranging from savory Piroshkitaschen with cream cheese and smoked salmon to Masatschen with chipotle-beer squash.
4) Campfire romance meets the spirit of Purim with this S'more Hamantaschen recipe from Couldn't Be Parve.
5) From Valentine's roses to Angry Birds, there's barely a motive that hasn't been made into a cake pop yet. Here we go, then — Hamantashen Truffle Pops from Joy of Kosher.
6) Most likely, these Rainbow Hamantaschen from Kitchen Tested are more beautiful that Haman's ear, or pouch, has ever been. In the comments section, people have posted their own creations.
7) Have you ever wondered what happens when you use jelly worms as hamantaschen fillings? The Lady of the Arts tried it. Warning: Contains graphic images of jelly worms in distress.
Consume a lot of alcohol on Purim. As the Talmud pushes, "A person is obligated to drink on Purim to confuse the difference between the phrases 'cursed be Haman)' and 'blessed be Mordecai.' Megillah (7b). That would be a lot of drinking and any number of intoxicants could fulfill this mitzvah. This year you may wish to consider delectable chocolate liqueurs.

When I was a kid, hamantaschen came in two varieties: poppyseed (what the sophisticated grown-ups ate) and fruit. It didn't matter what kind of fruit, it all tasted the same — overly sweet and sticky, and most importantly, difficult to scrape out with a spoon in order to get to the goods — the sugar cookie that encased it.
These days, the internet is bursting with wild varieties of hamantaschen: gummy bears and dulce de leche are tucked into dough, and a trend of savory hamantaschen has resulted in fillings like balsamic caramelized onions and roasted lamb with pine nuts.
I want them all. And what do you expect from a holiday that has basically one distinguishing food item? It's not like Hanukkah, when anything fried is fair game, or Passover with all of its matzo brittle and macaroons. Purim gets booze, costumes and hamantaschen. And I'd just like to say that I'm proud of Jewish bakers everywhere who have refused to submit to culinary boredom when it comes to this holiday.
Last year, I gave my two cents to this hamantaschen craze with a black sesame filling and a savory gruyère filling. This year, I'm giving you two more: The first is filled with red bean paste, a popular ingredient in Asian desserts. Made from adzuki beans (which you can find at Asian grocery stores), it has almost a peanut butter quality. The second hamantaschen is inspired by the oatmeal pie at the Brooklyn bakery Four & Twenty Blackbirds: Imagine an oatmeal cookie wrapped in a hat of sugar cookie, it's hamantaschen heaven. You will never think about scooping out the filling again.
The costumes line the streets and Purim is in the air. It's really one of my favorite holidays, made more so by the preparations for our community's traditional English-speakers Tzfat Purim shpiel. I excitedly anticipate the unique mishloach manot (gift packages) that my Sepharadi neighbors send – their homemade Moroccan Purim challahs, Djerbian orange-flavored donuts, Tunisian muffletot and Iraqi Sambusks are a highlight of the holiday. I make my own strawberry jam, since spring is strawberry-time in Israel (wash and crush 2 kilos of strawberries, add a tiny bit of sugar and let it simmer for several hours on the stove till it turns into a jam) so that I can present my neighbors with strawberry hamantashen.

"I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world's otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart." – Mary Oliver
Sometimes I marvel at how hard it can be just to be myself, to be the person I expect of myself, to be the version of myself that others probably expect, too. I end up staring off into space, dreamily fixed elsewhere, thinking abstractly about where I've been and how far I still have to go in a world that paints me flat. Sometimes my friends privately settle on the word 'melancholy' after they've known me for a few months. They present the word to me carefully, like a confession of their judgment, holding it by its edges, setting it carefully into my hands. Melancholy. It's as if the word itself, a little gift, might capture and hold my disquietude, the parts of me that clamor against patters, expectations, what's tried and true, and if I hear it, perhaps – poof! – fulfillment and happiness! Thinking of this, I don't want to write another 'perfect' or, even, the 'best' hamantaschen recipe, the tried and true the ones we all love, and know. And what we all expect. I want something else today.
On Purim, we celebrate Jewish survival and redemption. It is one of the most popular Jewish holidays because it is built on hope. Purim is a reminder that no matter how bad the circumstances, or whatever we fear around the corner, things will turn out well in the end. It's greatly loved for the merriment to be had celebrating Esther's victory with the king, her great success, not to mention her great skill and tact. It is with this in mind that Jews observe Purim. The day before Purim is a fast day, followed by two days of celebration: dancing, merrymaking, feasting. Jews will linger in temple into the early morning hours, drinking and masquerading, dressed in full costumes – drunkenly assuming new identities.
I love eating meat. While I am aware of how harmful conventional industrial meat production is to the environment and to our health, to say nothing of the issues of cruelty to animals and fair treatment of workers, I cannot imagine going without meat entirely. I even tried being vegetarian a couple of times, but always fell off the wagon rather quickly. By now, in the wake of the scandals at Agriprocessors, most of us know that kosher meat is not necessarily ethically superior to its non-kosher counterparts.
Some have suggested eating meat only on special occasions like Shabbat and holidays. While this practice puts healthy limits on one's consumption of meat, and makes the consumption a meat part of the celebration and sanctification of religious occasions rather than a simple hedonistic indulgence, in some ways it seems backwards: if I think that the meat I'm eating is so morally problematic, is it really appropriate to reserve its consumption for holy occasions like the Sabbath or other holidays? If I'm going to eat meat whose production involve mistreatment of animals and workers, and degradation of the environment, it might be better to save that meat-eating for ordinary weekdays, and make more ethical (and therefore more holy), food choices on Shabbat and holidays
In the fall of 2008, we re-launched the food bank at my synagogue, Valley Beth Shalom. The economy had started to crash, and the synagogue responded, in part, by reinvesting in this project to help San Fernando Valley residents who needed a hand. Little did I know that within a few weeks, our little food bank would grow to reach hundreds of families a month–including members of my own community. During the Great Recession and subsequent (albeit slow) recovery, I spoke with congregants who told me their stories: Before the recession, they were successful in business and had "done everything right," but the bank later took their home. They needed a little extra food each month to bridge the gap between their paycheck and bills.
It's times of social and economic upheaval when we recognize our own vulnerability, despite our hard work and planning. One day we have it all, and the next–perhaps, nothing.
For our children, Purim is the silliest day of the Jewish year. In fact, it also celebrates life's unpredictability. The Book of Esther, for example, showcases sudden reversals of fortune: At one moment, the Jewish community faces annihilation by genocide, and the next—the King of Persia executes our would-be killers. Or in the words of the Megillah, our lives were "turned inside out from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a day of celebration." (Esther 9:22)
Since being aurally haunted by hundreds of toy noise makers during one Purim celebration in my childhood, Purim has been banned from my top 10 list of favorite holidays (making way for more quiet and civilized holidays where you soberly eat matzo ball soup with your family). In my wimpy eyes its only point of redemption is hamantaschen. This year, I have reinterpreted the triangle cookies two ways — one sweet and Asian inspired and the other savory and filled with delicious rich cheese.
My favorite varieties of classic hamantaschen can be found at a few hidden deli counters in New York and in care packages from the mother of a dear college friend, Brian. When we were in college, Brian's apartment was good for three things: throwing wild patio parties, eating spray can cheese, and hosting impromptu hamantaschen eating parties as soon as his Purim care package arrived. His mother's hamantaschen were soft, doughy, slightly smashed from the shipping process, and swimming in powdered sugar (perfect for the morning after those legendary patio parties). So when I decided to make hamantaschen this year — with a personal twist — the obvious starting point was tapping Brian's mom for her recipe.
One of these recipes draws on my Asian heritage and uses black sesame seeds in place of the traditional poppy seed filling. Black sesames are common in Asian cooking and have a smokier and nuttier flavor than their white counterparts. The other is an homage to my cheese and spinach obsessions and is as perfect for an appetizer or party hors d'oeuvre as it is sacrilege.
One of my favorite things about Jewish holidays is their vivid food symbolism. On Purim, this typically translates into triangular foods, like hamantaschen and kreplach, which represent Haman's hat, pockets or ears, depending on who you ask. And, while Purim the is one of the few Jewish holidays that encourages drinking, that symbolism has yet to make its way into beverages. So this year, I'm getting in the spirit by concocting some holiday-inspired cocktails to serve up to my friends.
There are varying interpretations on exactly how drunk one should get on Purim, but the general idea is to get drunk enough that you cannot tell the difference between the hero Mordechai and his nemesis Haman. The Book of Esther even commences with a 180-day drinking festival. The biblical drink of choice would be wine, but it's high time that Purim swills got a modern facelift.
Since Queen Esther is the heroine of the Purim tale, I wanted to invent a cocktail in her honor. The Esther Cocktail starts with pomegranate juice, since the arils of the fruit are reminiscent of the jewels in Esther's crown. I added rose water, a common Persian ingredient, as an homage to the setting of the tale. Finally, a date honey and poppy seed rim makes for a nod to hamantaschen, as well as a dramatic presentation.
This year it seemed that even the Sugar Maple Trees at Isabella Freedman Retreat Center in Falls Village, CT celebrated Purim. We've been tapping about 30 trees over the last three weeks, during this short late-winter maple syrup tapping season. On the day before Purim, unlike any other day until now, some of the buckets were bone dry. Maybe the trees were reminding me to fast? Purim night, conditions were terrible for sap flow; the temperature stayed above freezing all night and by nine in the morning it was already over fifty degrees. The trees flow best when it dips below freezing at night and reaches forty degrees during the day, so I would never have predicted that by eleven o'clock on Thursday morning most of the buckets would be full to the brim with cool sweet sap.
Appropriately, on the night of Purim the trees couldn't tell the difference between good conditions and bad conditions. Thursday morning, I did a mad dash to collect all the sap before the buckets overflowed.
Living in a small Brazilian village an hour's drive from the northeastern city of Recife, it's easy to forget the rhythms of the outside world. We had barely finished cleaning up from the revelry of Carnival, when an email arrived to remind me of the onset of Purim and that the costume wearing, drinking in the streets, and sweet treats, were yet to be over. Purim, at the back end of Carnival, seemed a perfect fit for my adopted Brazilian community. And just like that I was making hamantashen, the signature, three-cornered holiday cookie.
Now, it's true that Recife was the first Jewish community in the New World, where Sephardic Jews found refuge when the area was a Dutch colony between 1630 and 1654. But if Jews ever stepped foot in my little shtetl, Paudalho, 22 miles inland, their presence is lost to the mists of history. Today — more than 350 years after the Recife Jews fled the conquering Portuguese for another Dutch colonial backwater, New Amsterdam — the Jewish population of Paudalho stands at exactly one. I am also the only American and the singular graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.

I have often wondered, during yet another endless Yom Kippur service, why we couldn't do something more engaging of our full selves. Emulate, say, some Native American traditions and have a peyote ritual. Something sweaty, visceral, more likely to have me encounter the Divine than an endless repetition of blood spattering in the Temple. Put the "high" in High Holidays, if you will.
And yet I'm drawn to Jewish tradition. I find myself looking to contextualize new, powerful experiences in the language of Judaism, to ritualize them through the religion of my ancestors. I love deep fried food, hence "Deep Fried Shabbat" has become a staple event in our house for Shabbos Hanukkah.
Purim's always been the rebel, the James Dean of Jewish Holidays — you get drunk, dress up, get to go trick-or treating (ok, not really but that's what you told yourself in yeshiva when your mom wouldn't let you out of the house with so much as a decoder ring on October 31). So it was the natural place for me to create a new ritual, born of something utterly secular and fascinating.
It's been over two decades since Zohar Zohar, the dark-haired, soft-spoken owner of Zucker Bakery, a new Israeli pastry shop and café in the East Village that serves Jewish delights, has lived on Kibbutz Sarid in northern Israel. She grew up there with her grandparents and parents (most of her extended family lived in Czechoslovakia and died in the Holocaust), running around the grounds with playmates as a child and working in the kitchen, cooking rice and chicken for the thousand person community, as an adult. Her most vivid memories were visiting her grandparents, relaxing in their living room and eating homemade cookies. "I think there is something special about the way you feel when you go to your grandparents," she says. "And that's the way I remember it."
Although Zohar, who left the Kibbutz when she was 21, has lived in New York City for 17 years, finished culinary school, worked 90-hour weeks at prestigious restaurants such as Daniel and Bouley and raised two kids, she still craves those moments of being at her grandmother's house on the kibbutz. With Zucker Bakery, which she opened in September, she's on a mission to recreate them with treats like rugelach and babka, along with Israeli treats like honey almond fingers, each of which has a personal story behind it.
Growing up, I remember assembling shalach manot baskets with my mom as part of our synagogue's Sisterhood tradition. After months of baking, and then freezing, thousands of hamentaschen, we would spend the week leading up to Purim assembling shalach manot packages for families in the synagogue. The shalach manot packages were always the same: two or three brittle, dry hamentaschen, some all-too-salty trail mix, super processed chips or pretzels, and a bottle of grape juice all packaged in a little box that wished people a happy Purim. Though the gestures of these were certainly nice, I have always felt that these mass-produced shalach manot were neither healthy, nor sustainable.
Many people observe the mitzvah of giving shalach manot to friends, family, and neighbors on Purim. This tradition is rooted in Megillah Esther, which tells people to observe the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar by "[making] them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor (Esther 9:22)." This practice ensures that everyone has food provided for the Purim feast, regardless of economic standing, and serves to contrast Haman's accusation that strife exists among Jews. Traditionally, shalach manot should be given to at least two people and should include at least two different food items, one of which you should prepare. This removes the burden of preparing food if someone is unable to do so.
In taking care of those around us, we must also be aware of the world around us. Sending shalach manot provides the opportunity to increase the sustainability of your Purim celebration. From packing your shalach manot, to what to put inside, Hazon offers the following tips (and more!) to make your Purim celebration healthier and more sustainable.
Now commonly seen – at least in America and Europe — as a sweet and innocent event for the enjoyment of children, in the past Purim was once quite different. For the Jews of 16th and 17th century Italy, the holiday was a quite an extravagant affair, celebrated (in the wealthier homes) with close to 30 course dinners accompanied with profuse quantities of wine. Dinner guests donned costumes and masks, inspiring the modern tradition of children playing dress up for the holiday. Several historians cite the celebrations of Carnival, the days up to lent which take place around the same time as Purim, as inspiration for these fests of gluttony.
Wearing costumes and masks while intoxicated was obviously bound to encourage all kinds of inappropriate behaviors, from promiscuous contact with non-Jews to episodes of violence. Still, some prominent rabbis of the time viewed all the wine and merrymaking as central to the spirit of the holiday, and went as far as to allow normally "taboo" activities, even mixed dancing.

Here at Redfin, we've been thinking a lot lately about Twitter as a development platform. The problem with that platform today is that nearly all Twitter applications are applications for using Twitter, not applications that use Twitter for doing something else.
Redfin, for example, doesn't want to build another Twitter client. We want to build a Twitter-powered real estate application, that allows our users to follow a neighborhood on Twitter. Any new listing, new sale, price change, agent insight or market update would show up as a tweet in neighborhood followers' timelines.
This would broaden Redfin's reach, and give users an easy way to see what's new in the market in real-time, without our having to ask anyone to register an account, define her own queries, or even open an email. Even better, Redfin users could get text-message alerts via Twitter when a new listing came on the market.
To support this, Twitter would have to build a high-scale system for bulk creation and administration of tens of thousands of Twitter accounts, one in our case for each neighborhood, which I believe Twitter will support one day soon. And the load imposed on Twitter would also be imposed on Redfin, as Redfin.com would have to process queries against every neighborhood, every few minutes. Twitter's real-time scale challenges would become challenges for the whole Web to solve.
But it would be worth it. As Cloudera's Jeffrey Hammerbacher recently noted in an engineer-to-engineer talk at Redfin on Hadoop, machines produce far more data than people ever will.
The possibilities for Twitter-ifying the Web are endless, as almost any series of events recorded on the web could become a Twitter stream: every time the Cal football team scores, whenever a friend uploads a photo to Flickr, or a customer lodges a complaint, I want it in my timeline. If Twitter is really going to be the pulse of the planet, it has to let websites — not just people — create and manage millions of accounts.
Twitter, I hope you take the plunge. If you do, the real-time web could increase in size by an order of magnitude.
UPDATE: Robbie Allen at StatSheets responds to our post, explaining that the company tried to deliver exactly what we wanted for sports enthusiasts, which Twitter initially discouraged and then embraced.

Catherine Aird
Catherine Aird (pseudonym for Kinn Hamilton McIntosh) was born in 1930 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England. After graduating from high school, her plan was to study medicine like her father. However, a near-fatal illness gave her a great deal of time to read which spurred an interest in writing. She published her first novel in 1966. She has lived in the same house since 1946, in Sturry, near Canterbury, Kent, where she is active in village life, participating in the Girl Guides, and writing a series of village histories. Aird has published a stand-alone mystery, A Most Contagious Game, story collections, and is a contributing editor to The Oxford Companion to Crime and Mystery Writing. But she is best known for her Sloan and Crosby mystery series.
What she writes: Begun in 1966 with The Religious Body, Aird has now published twenty-one Sloan and Crosby mysteries. Detective Chief Inspector C.D. Sloan and his not very helpful sidekick, Constable Crosby, are the stars of these cozy police procedurals. They take place in the quiet (fictitious) county of Calleshire, England. Aird has been compared to Martha Grimes, Caroline Graham, M.C. Beaton, Margaret Yorke, and Pauline Bell. Her style is very British, witty and charming, sprinkled with Shakespearean and other literary references, with lively plots. Since there is very little history in the series, it is not essential to read them in order.

Regarding Amendment of Life - "Trust mystery writer Catherine Aird to add her own special twists and lots of biting wit to murder…the settings are classic, the characters delightfully quirky, and the words of wisdom many." - Boston Herald |
"Sloan is the kind of down-to-earth detective who makes you glad you aren't a criminal: gently persistent and full of wry observations, no superman but all the more believable because of that." - Publishers Weekly |
"For those who like quiet British procedurals, with the emphasis more on wit and sly turns of phrase than on mean streets, Aird's series is sure to please." - Booklist |

The last days of Prince Fielder and Corey Hart?
milwaukee brewers June 16th, 2010
I can't seem to turn on the internet machine without seeing pictures of cute kittens something about Corey Hart and Prince Fielder being traded from the Milwaukee Brewers. Every baseball writer, analyst, talking head and fan thinks that it's important for the Brewers to trade Prince Fielder and Corey Hart. Right now. Corey, because he's hot and will never be hotter (which apparently people who are paid to evaluate talent won't realize, haha suckers!), and Prince because he's good and he's probably not going to re-sign with the team when he becomes a free agent in 2012. This has a certain amount of logic to it and if the Brewers get the right deal then they should probably do it, but I would be really surprised if one or both was traded during the season.
The reason I believe this lies in the fangraphs post from today by Jack Moore titled "What the Milwaukee Brewers Should Do" (which is weird because it never actually says what they should do), in the post Jack writes:
the contracts of Jeff Suppan, Trevor Hoffman, Bill Hall, David Weathers, Jody Gerut, Craig Counsell, Claudio Vargas, Jim Edmonds, Dave Bush, David Riske, and Gregg Zaun coming off the books, the Brewers will clear around $45 million in salary for next season. If Fielder and Hart are traded, that would be another $15 million cleared. The Brewers will see some raises for arbitration eligible players, but they should have a lot of money to play with in 2011.
Jesus, the Brewers are paying more people not to be with them than Larry King.
With all that money coming off the books as is, there is no need to get Prince and Corey off the books. If the goal is to build this team for a run in 2011, a run that they are totally capable of making, then there is no rush to trade two of the team's best three hitters unless they bring back someone who can significantly help them now. I'm talking a top of the line starter with arbitration years left. I'm talking Yovani Gallardo: the squeakquel.
Trading away Prince and Corey because of the team's poor play this season in return for prospects that won't help this team win next year is a stupid, stupid decision and guess what? Doug Melvin knows that. He'll listen, but he needs to be blown away and I'm not sure there's anyone out there willing to blow him away. At least not during the season. It's why he's a good GM.

Important Information >>
By Michael Dromey
When I'm not using my chisels I keep them in a drawer, so I made a set of leather sheaths to protect their sharp ends. I bought the leather and some rivets from a hobby shop and made sheaths for all my chisels in about an hour.
To make your own sheaths, cut leather strips twice the length of the finished sheath, and about 3/4" wider than the chisel's blade. Fold the leather strip in half lengthwise and punch holes for the rivets with an awl. Split rivets are the simplest to install because all you need is a hammer and a piece of steel—I used the edge of my vise.
This is a great tip I've been looking for a way to protect my chisels foe a while and this is a simple and perfect way to do so.
Thanks for the Tip.

Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era: |
The world is in a second nuclear age in which regional powers play an increasingly prominent role. These states have small nuclear arsenals, often face multiple active conflicts, and sometimes have weak institutions. How do these nuclear states—and potential future ones—manage their nuclear forces and influence international conflict? Examining the reasoning and deterrence consequences of regional power nuclear strategies, this book demonstrates that these strategies matter greatly to international stability and it provides new insights into conflict dynamics across important areas of the world such as the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia. Vipin Narang identifies the diversity of regional power nuclear strategies and describes in detail the posture each regional power has adopted over time. Developing a theory for the sources of regional power nuclear strategies, he offers the first systematic explanation of why states choose the postures they do and under what conditions they might shift strategies. Narang then analyzes the effects of these choices on a state's ability to deter conflict. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, he shows that, contrary to a bedrock article of faith in the canon of nuclear deterrence, the acquisition of nuclear weapons does not produce a uniform deterrent effect against opponents. Rather, some postures deter conflict more successfully than others. Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era considers the range of nuclear choices made by regional powers and the critical challenges they pose to modern international security. Vipin Narang is assistant professor of political science and member of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "This excellent book offers a novel typology of nuclear postures and a theory that explains why states adopt certain postures but not others, before assessing the consequences of postures for deterrence. An exemplary blend of theory and qualitative and quantitative evidence, its conclusions have wide-ranging implications for the way we think about nuclear deterrence."--Alexander Downes, George Washington University "This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the nuclear challenges that we currently face. Narang argues that the theories developed during the Cold War cannot explain the nuclear policies of regional powers. To fill this important gap, he convincingly lays out three distinct nuclear postures available to regional powers and he questions conventional wisdom to show that a state's nuclear posture significantly influences its deterrence effect."--Charles Glaser, George Washington University "With the end of the Cold War, the nuclear postures of countries other than the United States and Russia are increasingly central for theory and policy, but our knowledge of these postures has been deficient. Showing that states have tailored their stances to different internal and external situations, Narang combines rich empirical research and careful theorizing to add greatly to our understanding of deterrence."--Robert Jervis, author of The Meaning of the Nuclear Revolution "Vipin Narang's study of the causes and consequences of different states' nuclear weapons postures is a significant contribution to the literature on the causes of military doctrine, as well as the literature on both nuclear proliferation and deterrence theory. Narang's interpretations are novel and thought provoking, and he skillfully combines rich case study work with sophisticated statistical tests."--Scott D. Sagan, Stanford University List of Figures and Tables vii Series:

Hi, having bought our first home, I have finally planted my herb garden. I'm wondering if any of the following herbs dont like pine bark mulch - lemongrass, vietnamese mint, flat leaf parsley, curley parsley, peppermint, sweet basil, garlic chives, shallots, marjoram, thyme and oregano.
I have been told that most annual flowers dont like this form of mulch, thus my question. Previously, my herbs have been planted in pots, and I used pebbles to mulch, but I dont want to use this in my garden beds. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wouldn't use any pine bark mulch around herbs. The pine needles and bark tend to give off 'chemicals' that herbs don't like. The mulch is mainly to stop weeds from sprouting, so it shouldn't be used around herbs. Ever notice that not much grows under a pine tree? |
- Posted by daisyduckworth Aust (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 07 at 3:34
Are there any herbs which DO like pine bark mulch, I wonder? You and your herbs will be much happier with some sort of straw mulch. I use sugar-cane mulch because it's cheap and readily available where I live. Your local gardening centre/nursery will have several choices for you, and can advise on the best. Just make sure the mulch is well and truly dead and dry, and try to select one which doesn't have seeds in it. |

JP is having a sale on bulbs...anyone have any experience with them?? Ive bought roses from them before but nothing else.
mari |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mari, Just my experience...we bought quite a few lilies last fall/this spring. The ONLY ones which did lousy were from J&P. We got great ones from Brent and Becky's Bulbs, John Scheeper, The Lily Garden, The Bulb Crate and White Flower Farm. Only 5 of the 8 of J&P's orienpet mix even came up, and the stems were very skinny and short. There was only one small bloom on each stem. Then they just eventually shattered and the stems turned brown almost immediately. In comparison, the others were on big, thick stalks and each had several HUGE blooms, really at least 2x the size of J&P's. Maybe someone else would like to chime in. :0) Phyl |

I got great bulbs from all over. BRECKS, DUTCH GARDENS (best), etc, & JP, and Michigan Bulb Co. I bought fron JP & M.B.C because the price was something rediculously low like 100 for $15. I got small bulbs from both. Most bloomed but like Phylrae's the stems were small with few blooms. However thats because thy are young bulbs in such a low price. I left mine where they were and 3 years later they grew to normal size. If you don't mind waiting go ahead. Unless JP is stating TOP SIZE BULBS. Compare the stated size. |
- Posted by flowergirl70ks 5/6KS (My Page) on Sat, Sep 9, 06 at 13:43
Phylrae- I had the same luck you did with lilies not doing well, only mine came from Lily Garden. I was very disappointed, as all the others I have ordered from them have been super. |
Flowergirl70ks, I'm so surprised that you got poor quality from Lily Garden....they have such a sterling rep and the ones I've gotten from them have been fine... Yes, the J&P ones (Orienpet collection) were ridiculous...there is only 1 left of the 8 I planted...and as I said, the few that bloomed were literally 1/3 the size of the ones from JScheeper and The Bulb Crate. Tiny blooms, short, thin stems. :0( Phyl |

You may not want to entrust your smartphone or expensive camera to your child - so instead buy a couple of cheap disposable cameras and let them have fun snapping away with them.
Your child could take the cameras to the park, on a day trip or just around the house to capture their favourite things.
Help them create a 'picture diary' when the photos are developed. Remember to label and date the pictures.
How to make a magic moment
Single-use cameras are child's play - and along with the fun, there's a lot of thinking and learning going on too (both at the same time and afterwards).
Usually there are only 12 exposures on each camera so your child will need to consider when and why to take a snap.
Help your child work out the best moments to take their pictures, and keep an eye on how many they have left.
Encourage your child to take a variety of shots - it will make a better record of their day.
Once home, send the camera for processing as soon as you can, so there's not too long to wait before the next step. Some processors will put your shots onto a CD for you to print out yourself, and this means your child can make multiple copies too.
Buy (or make) an album and place selected shots in order, one or two on each page. Use a glue stick to fix the pictures carefully on the page, with room for a caption next to each one. If your child can't write, let them tell you what they want the words to be.
Your child can design and make a cover for their picture diary - and don't forget to ensure that the date they took the photos is somewhere prominent on the outside or the inside. Happy snapping!

NEWPORT, R.I. — Actor and screenwriter Danny Strong said a well-told story creates an emotional response that can propel social change.
That's even true for sitcoms: "Will and Grace" helped affected people's attitude about gay marriage and "The Cosby Show" had an impact on people's attitude about race.
"It's one thing to read about the plight of workers, it's another thing to see Sally Field holding up the sign that says 'UNION'," Strong said.
Strong, recipient of The Pell Center Prize, spoke Friday at Salve Regina University at Story in the Public Square, a partnership between Salve Regina's Pell Center and The Providence Journal.
Strong, 39, is a two-time Emmy winner. He wrote "Recount," about the 2000 presidential election and "Game Change," about the 2008 presidential election. He was also the screenwriter for "Lee Daniel's The Butler."
Strong said it was seeing the movie "Mississippi Burning" when he was 14 that first inspired him to write about the Civil Rights movement. "I was utterly outraged by the events I was watching."

I have been in touch with Medusa and understand that Chairman Geoff Davies and MD Peter Hepburn-Brown will be in London w/c 14th November. They will be presenting at their brokers', Fairfax. Geoff has previously indicated that he might be prepared to make a separate presentation to a wider audience.
If this is to be done, then I need to gauge the level of interest and preferred times. Should there be sufficient interest, I'll see whether I can arrange something. Clearly, however, this will not be worthwhile unless there is a strong level of interest. Central London is likely to be the only practical venue.
If you are interested and likely to be able to attend please respond below, indicating time/date preferences. Please also vote this post up, to encourage the maximum audience to view it. Should there only be a small number of responses, I could advise Geoff of other individuals that would be interested in attending the Fairfax presentation.
I need responses very promptly because there is a considerable amount of effort/logistics involved in setting up a successful presentation.
Medusa is currently my largest individual shareholding, so this is, of course, of significant interest to me!

A Warhammer: Invasion Card of the Week |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 26 October 2010 |
In his vile realm, in a great iron cauldron vast enough to contain all the oceans of the world, Father Nurgle works to create contagion and pestilence. With every stir of the Plaguelord's maggot-ridden ladle, a dozen fresh diseases flourish... and if he is pleased with his concoction, he empties it into a grate at his feet. The teeming liquid then falls like rain upon the mortal world, delivering a host of new afflictions to the crops, livestock, and drinking water of the unfortunates below.
Welcome back to another Warhammer: Invasion card of the week spotlight! Last week brought big news for fans of Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game, with the announcement of The Morrslieb Cycle and it's first Battle Pack, Omens of Ruin. But while the distant future of Warhammer: Invasion is indeed bright, there's plenty to get excited about in the short term as well: namely, The Enemy Cycle. Friday brought Redemption of a Mage, its fourth Battle Pack, to store shelves... and with it, cards like Knights Panther, Higher Ground, Githit Froatcutta, and Friedrich Hemmler. Now, let's turn our attention to the Battle Pack coming your way next month, The Fourth Waystone.
When we announced this fifth Battle Pack in The Enemy Cycle, we saw the awesome might of the High Mountain Troll, an Orc unit that regenerates its health every turn. This week's card spotlight brings us another powerful destruction card, this time in the form of support for Chaos.
Tainted Well allows you to damage your opponents' units whenever they are corrupted. Coupled with corrupting effects like that of Esli'an or Seduced by Darkness, Tainted Well can be a potent means sniping at enemy units. What's more, with a Tainted Well on the table, your foes will think twice about employing any cards that corrupt themselves, such as Warpstone Excavation!
Join us next time when we take another look at The Fourth Waystone!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
@ DrgnScorpion: There is no need to give any additional options. It's an "Action:" and they are all optional, up to the player's choice whether they want to use them or not.
Unfortunatly due to it not giving an option for choosing to deal one damage. It would go off no matter what on your units or anybody elses.
Nice effect but sadly it's too expensive because nearly every order deck runs Demolition and now they don't have to "waste" it on Shrine to Nurgle ...
Too bad it has double loyalty, so you have to it as a weak second turn instead of a maybe first turn w/ innovate.
Too expensive to fix Chaos right now. Too bad, it was a cool idea. :(
Beautiful artwork, really evocative.
it is indeed good, but it would be more fitting if it had only one hammer but with a cost of only two! that would be a card that would be good.
so i think its too expensive
I do like. And it's an action, so you don't have to do it to your own guys or your opponent's guys that are 1hp and more useful to you corrupted.
Wow, this cards is good ! :D Finaly we see some more usefull support cards for Chaos!

It's a funny thing that happens when small town girls get big ideas! The ideas began in early childhood when these sisters, Kristi 'Leigh' Johnson and Lori 'Nants' Lickliter, began creating and selling handmade wares to every friend and neighbor. They vowed to each other at the ages of ten and nine when they grew up, they would open a business together and its name would be Leigh Nants. (After their middle names)
Once grown, the girls gathered over coffee with their Mom and grandmother, Gigi, and discussed these 'big ideas'. They rehashed their childhood dreams of opening a shop and decided to take the plunge and open their first retail store. They claimed this would be the spot 'where art would meet style'.
Kristi (Leigh), the oldest sister and the more adventurous one is always on the move. She brightens any room she walks into. She has a true gift of encouragement and her organizational skills are essential to the success of Leigh Nants. She operates with a faith that never sees a hurdle too big to conquer.
Lori (Nants), a self-taught artist and true visionary, is one who paints the sky with her mind. She finds inspiration in everything that her eyes see, her hands touch, and her mind can imagine. Her best ideas come in the night hour. Her mind never sleeps. Some would call her ideas crazy imaginations, but Lori sees them as God-inspired innovations.
Kristi and Lori are not only sisters but are the best of friends. These two girls complete each other's thoughts, balance each other out, and create a laughter that is infectious. Together they are a matchless team with a work ethic like none other. They never sit still. They are constantly bouncing ideas off each other. There is never just one idea; most of the time they are juggling four and five at a time. The Leigh Nants girls are always amazed that God continues to give them new inspirations.
Lori first started by creating her own handmade line of jewelry and sold it through home-shows. As the demand for her pieces grew, she knew the jewelry needed a permanent home. So while she continued to create more original pieces of jewelry, paint abstract canvases, and design appliqué t-shirts; Kristi focused on finding other unique handmade gifts, including making a few of her own. The girls also realized that they passionately longed to find electic styles of women's clothing, shoes, and accessories under one roof. So, at the same, they began their search in hopes of creating a store filled with cutting edge selections.
The girls knew if they could stock the shelves with what they loved, their customers would love it too. They sent out postcards to all of their friends, neighbors, and contacts they had made along the way announcing the opening of their new brick and mortar store. On March 9, 2010, with only $130 in their account, Leigh Nants opened their doors. Much to their surprise, opening night was a huge success! Having the store has been the most amazing experience. The girls have had the opportunity to get to know customers and consider them dear friends for life.
It is exactly these small beginnings, these small ideas that have blossomed into their fresh bold boutique of today… Kristi and Lori hope that every girl that comes into the store or shops online will leave with something that inspires her. It is their wish that she will leave feeling like a 'Leigh Nants Girl'.
A Leigh Nants Girl is smart, confident, passionate, and boundary pushing. A Leigh Nants Girl knows who she is and what she wants. She dares to be different. She is not afraid of her future and she loves to laugh. She's fun, inspiring, and she is always a fashion statement waiting to light up her environment. She is a "small town girl with big ideas".

[1856] Adherence to ASCO/CAP HER2 Testing Guidelines: Equivocal Rates and Impact on Management within a Single Institution.
Bryce P Portier, Erinn Downs-Kelly, Chris Lanigan, Claudiu Cotta, Deepa Patil, Gary Procop, James R Cook, Halle Moore, George T Budd, Raymond R Tubbs. Cleveland Clinic, OH; Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland, OH
Background: The American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) HER2 guidelines utilize immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) algorithms to improve HER2 testing. Our aim was to evaluate adherence to ASCO/CAP guidelines within a single institution performing a high volume of HER2 testing, to assess the ability of the guidelines to resolve equivocal results, and to assess the impact of unresolved equivocal HER2 results on patient management.
Design: All patients (1,770) with breast carcinoma tested for HER2 within the Cleveland Clinic system from January 2008 to June 2010 were included. HER2 status and clinicopathologic data (age, tumor grade and stage, hormone receptor status, HER2/CEP17 ratio, and treatment) was retrieved from the electronic medical record. The primary method of HER2 testing at our institution is a dual probe FISH assay (PathVysion, Abbott-Vysis, Chicago, IL) with reflex testing of equivocal cases by HER2 IHC (PATHWAY anti-HER2/neu, Ventana, Tucson, AZ).
Results: A total 1,770 cases were analyzed by FISH over the study period; 79 (4.4%) were identified as equivocal. All 79 were rescored by a second technologist and then reflex tested via IHC (100% ASCO/CAP compliance). IHC resolved the equivocal status in 55 (70%) patients, with 12 (15%) identified as positive (3+) and 43 (55%) as negative (0 or 1+). A double equivocal result by both FISH and IHC was seen in 24 (30%) cases. Within this double equivocal group, 6 patients (25%) received Trastuzumab (Herceptin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA). The only statistically significant clinicopathologic factor in patients that were treated with Herceptin was age <50 (p = 0.003).
Conclusions: Previous literature has shown that employing FISH rather than IHC as the primary HER2 testing methodology results in fewer equivocal cases (5% versus 32%, respectively Grimm et al 2010); our current study shows a similar equivocal rate (4.4%) by primary FISH. Reflex HER2 IHC testing resolved 70% of the equivocal FISH cases, however 30% were equivocal by both methodologies. These double equivocal cases are problematic in that there is no accepted guideline for the management of these patients. Outcome studies with long-term follow-up are needed to establish an optimal management plan for the double equviocal subset of breast cancer patients.

The Institute in conjunction with software development studio Revolutionary Concepts have developed a world first application that empowers non-verbal children and teens to communicate.
The aacorn app is the result of three years of intense research; its design was based on research done at the Institute working with children with communication problems and developmental challenges.
Professor Sheena Reilly, who is Associate Director of Murdoch Childrens Research Institute and head of childhood language research explains, "Having worked with children with developmental disabilities for over 30 years I could see there was a huge gap in these types of devices and methods with children. I was also frustrated that programs and devices didn't take advantage of new technologies."
"I was really excited to be involved in the creation of the aacorn app. Aacorn is not only visually appealing and easy to use for children; it also incorporates the latest technology and really engages the child. As I understand the challenges faced by these kids, I wanted to make sure we developed an app that would give the children a 'voice' but be something they would want to use as well."
With aacorn the team went back to the drawing board to develop an alternative that would enable children to express themselves more freely.
Aacorn founder and creator Wayne Whatford describes the innovation, "Our findings showed that the decades old system of offering a handful of words via a grid of folders and stick figure drawings very often prevents children from being able respond as quickly as they are actually capable of."
"Our approach was to instead create an entirely new solution that has the abilities and needs of each individual child at the heart of its design, and the result is a unique 'word tree' arrangement of branching pathways with an artificial intelligence that actually learns and adapts to each child's unique communication style."
The predictive capability makes words easier to find by presenting them as they are needed, eliminating the need for hunting and pecking and empowers previously non-verbal children to speak both simple and complex sentences, while also encouraging children to expand their vocabulary.
The app is now available on iTunes www.aapstore.com/aacorn

After a couple of comments in another thread about canes, and another thread about "living" versus CC, I wanted to just throw a few ideas out as fodder to allow everyone to add their alternative defensive weapons...................
My favorite alternative is a Cold Steel City Stick: City Stick : Walking Sticks (Cold Steel)
I have carried mine on post 9/11 airplanes, all over Europe, and numerous other places where virtually all common weapons might otherwise be prohibited. In Europe I was privately escorted to many private museum entrances (Louvre, de Orsay, etc.) thus short-cutting some lines.
Other weapons could include coin rolls as brass knuckles or as saps in a sock, rolled up magazines, and probably a million others!
What are your favorites?
