King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Let God arise , let his enemies be scattered : let them also that hate him flee before him. | 1 May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him. |
2 As smoke is driven away , so drive them away : as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. | 2 As smoke is blown away by the wind, may you blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God. |
3 But let the righteous be glad ; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice . | 3 But may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. |
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. | 4 Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds-- his name is the LORD -- and rejoice before him. |
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. | 5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. |
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. | 6 God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. |
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: | 7 When you went out before your people, O God, when you marched through the wasteland, "Selah" |
8 The earth shook , the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. | 8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. |
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary . | 9 You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance. |
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. | 10 Your people settled in it, and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor. |
11 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. | 11 The Lord announced the word, and great was the company of those who proclaimed it: |
12 Kings of armies did flee apace : and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. | 12 "Kings and armies flee in haste; in the camps men divide the plunder. |
13 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. | 13 Even while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of [my] dove are sheathed with silver, its feathers with shining gold." |
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. | 14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like snow fallen on Zalmon. |
15 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. | 15 The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains; rugged are the mountains of Bashan. |
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in ; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. | 16 Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the LORD himself will dwell forever? |
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. | 17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord [has come] from Sinai into his sanctuary. |
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive : thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. | 18 When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious-- that you, O LORD God, might dwell there. |
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. | 19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. "Selah" |
20 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. | 20 Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death. |
21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies , and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. | 21 Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins. |
22 The Lord said , I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: | 22 The Lord says, "I will bring them from Bashan; I will bring them from the depths of the sea, |
23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies , and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. | 23 that you may plunge your feet in the blood of your foes, while the tongues of your dogs have their share." |
24 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. | 24 Your procession has come into view, O God, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary. |
25 The singers went before , the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels . | 25 In front are the singers, after them the musicians; with them are the maidens playing tambourines. |
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. | 26 Praise God in the great congregation; praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel. |
27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler , the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. | 27 There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them, there the great throng of Judah's princes, and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali. |
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen , O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. | 28 Summon your power, O God; show us your strength, O God, as you have done before. |
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. | 29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts. |
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. | 30 Rebuke the beast among the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations. Humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war. |
31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. | 31 Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush will submit herself to God. |
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: | 32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth, sing praise to the Lord, "Selah" |
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. | 33 to him who rides the ancient skies above, who thunders with mighty voice. |
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. | 34 Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the skies. |
35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. | 35 You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God! |

Donnie & Lisa
Donnie and Lisa both come from musical families. Donnie's family traveled as a quartet and held concerts and revival meetings, while Lisa spent more time singing with her family at churches where her father was pastor. Each of them has a heart for ministry and seeks to share the Gospel with the lost.
Donnie Williamson, emcee, baritone, and manager, will sit at the piano on occasion to change up the program, so it's not all about overshadowing tracks. His ideas and planning for the forward motion of the group are based in keen observation of the industry climate, but also rooted in letting the Lord lead as He allows, and not in a spirit of competition. Donnie has performed on many major platforms across the United States, and is an original member of the Williamsons which was founded over forty years ago. He has served on the executive board of the Southern Gospel Music Guild, is currently on the board of Central Virginia Angel Hearts, and has been involved as a civic leader in the towns where he has lived.
Lisa Chesser Williamson is one of the best female singers today. Her voice is extremely well-suited to the industry sound that makes Southern Gospel unique—flexible and smooth, but not piercing. Debra Talley of The Talleys was once overheard saying, "Lisa is one of my favorite female vocalists. Probably in the top five"! She is also a gifted writer. Her songs are well-thought out, balanced and singable, structured in a way that not only meets, but exceeds the standards of contemporary Southern Gospel songwriting at its best. Ronnie Hinson (of The Hinsons and writer of "The Lighthouse") once said that Lisa was one of the finest young songwriters he had been privileged to meet. She penned the Kingsmen single "I'm Ready to Go," which charted at number six in the nation according to The Singing News, and made the Top 25 songs for the year. She and Donnie have written many other songs that have been recorded by The Williamsons, as well as Gold City, the Forgiven Trio and others.
In addition to singing and writing, Lisa is the main sound engineer for Homestead Studio, a full-service recording facility operated by The Williamsons that serves many Gospel artists, especially those from the Midwest.
Donnie and Lisa have two beautiful daughters, Sadie and Olivia. The girls travel everywhere with them and often make a special appearance on stage! Donnie also has a grown son, Casey, who now attends college.

Why Is Bakiev in Minsk?
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on April 26, 2010
The ousted Kyrgyz president, Kurmanbek Bakiev, fled his country, disappeared for a while and has now popped up in Belarus. But why Minsk?
The Tulip Revolution Mark 2 in Kyrgyzstan seems to have aroused almost no interest compared to the first one in 2005. Is history too repetitive? Are the main protagonists too well known? I am not sure. After the Orange Revolution in Kiev, each subsequent one was keenly analysed. But they do not get top billing anymore.
Russian media has projected the image of Bakiev as that of a bloody dictator who grabbed power, was elected and even re-elected, but went on to install his family members in top positions, to steal millions from the state budget, investments and foreign loans and who, in the end, ordered troops to shoot at a peaceful crowd in order to save his own bacon. His son Maxim is a very successful businessman who reportedly has ties with the notorious Russian oligarch-in-exile Boris Berezovsky.
Looks like despite its allergy to colour revolutions, Moscow takes sides pretty quickly and has already invited for talks one of the Kyrgyz opposition leaders who toppled Bakiev. In 2005 it was the toppled president Askar Akaev who was invited. And he is still in Russia. Now the sides have flipped.
Bakiev in Minsk looked tired and fearful. He met journalists to say that popular discontent was not so strong, as he had been re-elected just eight months ago. Since 6 April, his family, close associates and security officials have been pressured and intimidated. According to Bakiev, what happened was a well-staged coup d'etat and not a grassroots revolution. He said he left in order to prevent civil war between the south (his home territory) and the north, that he resigned to save the lives of those in his government. He also offered to help in any investigation into the events leading up to his downfall.
Lukashenka has given shelter to Bakiev, depicting him as his Kyrgyz colleague, and has assured him that he, his common-law wife and two children, can stay as long as they need. Bolivar …,um, Belarus can carry double. It will stand by its man no matter what Moscow, Washington or Astana think. That's presidential decision.
I am not trying to defend anyone's stand. I am defending the ideas of fairness, equal rights and rule of law. I am surprised not to see any mediators, any international organisations like the OSCE or the UN, any CIS leaders, coming forward to try to resolve the situation and ease tensions in Kyrgyzstan. The guns of the Tulip Revolution Mark 2 have produced no echo.
For many people in Europe, it is probably a piddling detail which name is attached to the title President of Kyrgyzstan. But Central Asia is a crossroads for the interests of the world's great powers. It is an unstable region and it merits constant attention.
So Bakiev is in Minsk, Akaev is in Moscow. But it's not about them or Russia, it's about a different country. Kyrgyzstan still needs help.
Hello Gays!
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on April 20, 2010
Not only are politicians from Russia and Belarus for unity, but homosexuals from both countries too. The latter are more successful at uniting, but have little chance of being recognised.
Last year in Moscow, gay activists from Belarus and Russia organised the first Slavic Gay Pride during the Eurovision Song Contest, enjoyed by gay communities in Europe. It was dispersed with violence. This year it is Minsk's turn – to host this demo on May 15. The organisers already applied for permission with the city authorities, but have not got a reply yet.
Belarus is actually almost a safe haven for gays and lesbians. Homophobia is directed more against those who defend their rights. So the gay scene is not easily detectable but lively, with an underground network of private organisations and rotating gay nights at bars and clubs. The couple of gay bars that exist in Minsk have no signs outside so they don't draw any attention to themselves. But gays and lesbians also meet in public spaces, like parks in the city centre to chat and get connected but not be exposed. There are a number of active LGBT organisations operating through websites. Gay tourists can even get gay guides to explore the city and the scene.
LGBT activists complain that they are invisible for all possible powers in Belarus, as neither the authorities nor the opposition stand up for their rights. But while some opposition parties are openly hostile to gays, others (like the Belarusian Green Party) have recently started initiatives for sexual and gender equality.
Public awareness of these issues is still very low: gays are not forbidden but they are excluded from any sphere and so can be said not to exist. The subculture is partly recognised as diva shows and beauty pageants make it to magazines and TV programmes on night life and showbiz. But official discourse never mentions gays or lesbians.
Organised groups have gone as far as Brussels to seek support. In autumn 2009, the first big LGBT conference in Minsk was attended by guests and diplomats from EU countries. Ties with Russian gays are not very new either. But this year's attempt to march together in Minsk is a first. The rapprochement between the Belarusian authorities and the EU allows for hope that no violence will be used against the demonstrators. There's less hope that the LGBT community will be able to come out. As there was no sex in the Soviet Union, there are no homosexuals in Belarus.
Kaczynski's Fault
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on April 15, 2010
One of the most popular official slogans in Belarus is that we are in the "center" or – better still – in the "heart" of Europe. Sometimes it would be better if this "heart" remained silent…
I almost choked when I heard the president of our central European country explain to journalists that the plane crash near Smolensk must have been Lech Kaczynski's own fault, that he must have ordered it to land. "If the president is on board," Lukashenka said, "the president has the last word: to land or not to land. But the pilot could disobey, of course."
He also expressed his condolences. But, good God, Belarus is today the only one of Poland's neighbours which has not declared official mourning. This special neighbour who shares not just a border, but also history and culture. A lot of countries in Europe and around the world (Brazil!) offered their support to the Polish people by this gesture, even if only pro forma.
But isn't it too early to blame poor president Kaczynski, who hasn't even been buried yet? Before the experts give their verdict and the investigation is closed. Kaczynski was a weird politician and diplomat, why compete with him after his death? Lukashenka's comment is from someone who comes from the centre of Europe but can't live up to it.
There is a right time and a right place for everything. Whether you are on or off the plane. Even if you are a president.
My condolences to the Polish people on the air crash and the story it might turn into. Hopefully the Kaczynski's party, the PIS, would not suggest the pyramids as the burial site…
P.S. Lukashenka paid respects to Polish president.
Are you not from Belarus?
Posted by Maryna Rakhlei in EU on April 10, 2010
Does your family come from Belarus? No? Are you sure? The borders were changed so many times it can be hard to know where that grandma of yours really comes from: Russia, Poland, Ukraine or Belarus. Think twice – you could join quite a hall of fame.
The are two main groups of Belarus-born people. You can illustrate them via the presidents of Israel and Ukraine. The Jewish family of Shimon Peres left Belarus to help create the newly-established country. The family of Viktor Yanukovych left simply looking for a job.
Belarus' Jewish communities in Pinsk, Bobruisk and Vitebsk gave the world Marc Chagall and his teacher Yehuda Pen, the writers Mendele Mocher Sforim, David Pinski and Solomon Simon and the lexicographer Eliezer Ben Yehuda. You might say the writer Etgar Keret is Israeli, but his father was born here. The Israeli politicians Chaim Weizmann, Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir are 'ours,' as is the family of Golda Meir.
Belarusian Jewish migrants to the US gave us Kirk Douglas, Ralph Lauren and Steven Ballmer (yes, the Microsoft CEO). Philip Chess, the co-founder of Chess Records, was born in Belarus, as was David Sarnoff, the pioneer of American commercial radio and television and the songwriter Irving Berlin. Belarusian Jews made great American scientists and chess players.
They ended up in all sorts of places – Belarus-born Sidney Baevski Myer created Myer, Australia's largest chain of department stores.
The notorious Soviet diplomat Andrei Gromyko (a.k.a. Mr No), the Russian politician Anatoly Chubais and stateswoman Valeriya Novodvorskaya are from here.
The families of US actors Lisa Kudrow and David Suchet moved from Belarus. I think we can also claim one of Leonardo DiCaprio's grannies!
Who takes your fancy? The builder of Russia's Sukhoi military jets, Pavel Sukhoi? The founder of cultural-historical psychology, Lev Vygotsky? Gymnast Olga Korbut? Maybe the father of the Cheka (the Bolshevik secret police), Felix Dzerzhinsky, or his colleague, the the first man to take charge of both Israeli secret services, the Mossad and the Shin Bet, Isser Harel?
How about Stuttgart midfield Alexander Hleb? Ice hockey forward Andrei Kostitsyn? His brother, winger Sergei Kostitsyn? The wrestler Alexander Medved? The winner of the 2009 World Chess Cup, Boris Gelfand? Fashion model Maryna Linchuk?
I could also give you the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the Polish composer Michal Kleofas Oginski and the Polish writer Ryszard Kapuscinski. The first lady of the Republic of China on Taiwan Faina Chiang Fang-liang (born Vakhreva) as well as Marina, the wife of Lee Harvey Oswald, come from Belarus.
You might argue that they are not Belarusians sensu stricto. But they were born here. There must be something in the air. Maybe the water.
Globalisation negates the importance of a person's place of birth. But there are people who left Belarus and remained Belarusians, accentuated their origin. In these brand new lives in Argentina or the UK, they mad space for the Belarusian language and traditions.
Not all of our eminent emigres are figures of history.
Living in the Netherlands today is the Belarusian artist Andrei Zadorine, in France, Boris Zaborov, in Brussels, Natalia Zaloznaya and Igor Tishin live in Brussels. Their student Andrey Dureiko lives in Germany. All over the world there are successful Belarusians in banking, design, computing.
But the number one Belarusian in the world is Boris Kit. This outstanding rocket scientist and Belarusian turned 100 a couple of days ago. Today he lives in Frankfurt am Main but remains truly devoted to his language and his motherland. Perhaps he is the man to make you feel that, in fact, it is a pity not to come from Belarus…

Aims of the StaPa Association
In May 2002, a group of trainees of the Pasteur Institute created an association called StaPa (Trainees of the Pasteur Institute).
This association is open to all of the trainees at the Pasteur Institute, including short-term interns, Masters and PhD students, and post-docs.
The aims of this association are both social and scientific:
- Social, to promote interactions between trainees in various departments by organizing fun events, to welcome new trainees to the campus, and to facilitate the arrivals of foreign trainees.
- Scientific, to promote exchanges (scientific, technical, language-based, etc.) both among trainees, and also between trainees and experienced researchers, at scientific meetings and events.
Here on our website you can find information about past and future scientific and social events. Also, by joining StaPa you will be added to our mailing list, and receive all updates about StaPa activities.
Finally, if you have ideas for activities or events, please do not hesitate to contact the bureau (bureau AT stapa DOT fr) and get involved!

Ari Soffer will bling out anything from pants to pillows, motorcycles and now canes. He has created a $150,000 diamond and ruby skull cane.
The Ari Soffer cane will be on exhibit at the designer's new store, which opened June 4 in Los Angeles. Despite the recession, the designer hopes more people will be interested in things like diamond, ruby and skull canes. I always thought that was a lacking market.

Trying to get preschoolers to do something they don't particularly find fun can be a challenge to even the best mom or preschool teacher.
Handing out stickers, stamps, and other little gadgets is a common practice in preschool but relying on this to truly build inner motivation is not enough. What happens when the stickers run out? Will the preschooler still do what he or she is asked?
Stickers is an easy word to help remember the term "extrinsic motivation." Giving a child a sticker to get him or her to do something is an example of extrinsic motivation.
What we ultimately want to foster is the internal motivation to do the right thing – to do the nice thing – to care about our friends and the concerns of others. Not because a sticker is waiting at the end of the task, but because it makes us feel good inside.
Hugs is an easy word to help remember the term "intrinsic motivation". I chose this word because a hug feels good and warm both on the outside and on the inside. Ultimately we want preschoolers to make positive and constructive choices about their own behavior because deep down inside, they want to make those choices and in many ways, it is like a hug – it just feels plain good.Intrinsic rewards lead to higher self-confidence and self-esteem. The next time you see a child making choices to participate in an activity or help with clean up time or wait for a turn without the expectation of a sticker, you are seeing the makings of intrinsic motivation.Intrinsic motivation is far more complex than this little post is going to cover but it is important to be aware of the differences between internal and external rewards.

Think before you speak.
If you decide to succeed you will.
Thinking something bad is going to happen, makes it happen.
Your thoughts determine your outcome
Don't waste another day!
Don't let discontentment follow you to your dreams!
Manage your thoughts and feelings
Focus on the moment
Basic law of life
The basic law of sowing and reaping means much more than you initially might think!
Consider the fact that when you sow a few seeds you don't get a few seeds back, you get a crop! You actually reap more, sometimes much, much more than you sowed, the basic law applies to "giving and receiving", "ask and you shall receive" and more!
Consider this: "You have to give love to get love", "You have to give respect to get respect","You have to look for a job to get a job", "You have to work at your job to get a check", "You have to give a smile to get a smile", "You have to study to get good grades", "If you get good grades you'll get a better job", and "If you get a better job you'll make more money".
Now consider in your own life the areas where you need to sow more.
Another good word for sowing is "Invest", invest in yourself, invest in your family, invest in your friendships", "Invest in something financially" and "Invest in yourself spiritually".
It's the person that just sits there and does nothing and hopes things will get better that won't do much reaping. There are those who sit around and complain about the economy hoping someone else will do something about it. I submit that if you do whatever it takes to invest in yourself, you as a person and your economy will get better.
One final thought: You don't just plant a seed once, water it once and reap a bushel. You have to cultivate, fertilize, water and keep the pests out. You have to work at it, but come harvest time it will all be worth it!
God bless you!

God Save the Queen. I think I don't really like this one after all. Perhaps the queen will not be saved and will make room for Purple Maze.
Beautiful Edgings triplets Itza Butte Prounounced Beaut, as in Beauty, not butt, so it didn't land on the list of ones to avoid because of the name. The photo is too pink, it is really more of a peach. Braided Edgings Ooooo, I think the photo shows the diamond dusting on the edge, although it is way more sparkly in person. Christine |

Hi Christine, I would wait a year or so to be sure on GSTQ if this is the first year...maybe even mover her. I have been astounded at the difference it makes. Braided Edges is my favorite of these...pretty colors and good shot. |

Thank you all for your comments. As for GTSQ, this is the 3rd year here and I just don't like the color. When it's cool, it has trouble opening and when it's hot, it melts. Oh and I forgot to mention that Itza Butte has an instant rebloom scape, and it seems to be quite a strong grower for only the second year here. Christine |
I would just move it and keep it, butyou may not have the room. (I am just digging my yard up everywhere). I like that Beautiful Edgings. Mine was bloomed out yesterday - it's wet here today. I love that Braided Edges - so pretty. Sarah |
GSTQ looks like it has good colors for you. But it does take more than half a day to open when night temps are cool. I haven't noticed it fading more than my others here. Itza Butte is a beauty, and my favorite of these. I do see the diamont dusting on Braided Edgings' edge! Debra |

It is interesting, I saw God Save the Queen in the Daylily World garden a few years ago and was not impressed. It certainly, in Kentucky, did not have the color, bells and whistles that all of the pictures showed it to have. It looked pretty much like a bunch of others with an edge. It may be that the further north is came, the more common it became. Janet |

" The Ronald H Kenney Family of Thunder Bay, ON "Updated September 5, 2000 |
This is to be the beginning of a journey, for my family to try and contact our history, and our current relations. My father Herbert Kenney, was born in a sod hut in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, on September 29th 1911. His history is both rich and unfortunately pocketed with blanks of times. From his day's as a depression period farmer, to his being a teamster on the lakes and rivers of Northwestern Ontario, valuable memories need to be excited. Leaving the prairies for sheer economic reasons, brought him to Sudbury, ON, where he met and married my mother Aurore Anita Theriault. Two different cultures, common needs, a truly Canadian story. |

The movement notes in its pamphlet that "before a world that is ever more fearful of the future and before men and women who are no longer capable of raising their eyes and looking above, the slain missionaries invite us to be even stronger in the faith, to believe that a new humanity is possible, to hope for a better future."
"The martyrs give us strength to continue because they are men and women who follow Christ and have shown that forgiveness and love are stronger than hatred, because with their sacrifices they show us that the Lord continues resurrected and alive, overcoming evil and death," the pamphlet states.
"Without the witness of missionaries," it continues, "the world would be poorer and more desolate, it would be even more difficult to have hope because the martyrs shine like the stars and with their testimony they illuminate the path of humanity towards the light that is Christ."
"A life spent in love can transform consciences and lives. Rather than inspiring sadness, martyrdom in the Church is experienced as a source of strength, energy and hope for continuing down the same path that Christ followed," the pamphlet emphasizes.
The document also includes various suggestions for celebrating Eucharistic Adoration, the Way of the Cross and prayer vigils, as well as for making visits to the sick, offering one's sufferings for the missions, donating blood to save lives and providing shelter for one day for a poor person or a foreigner.

Thanks for the response. If it is an Orinoco, it has come back each year after 6 winters in the ground. It comes up in late spring, but makes up for it with growth, outgrowing the rest of my perennial bananas every year. The leaves are much nicer, but the tallest it's reached in any year was 8 feet. It holds up to frost pretty well. |

Thanks tropicalzone7. Miketropic, after looking at the possibilities (pictures and descriptions), I think you're correct. I think it's a Dwarf Orinoco. Maybe I'll have to get my hands on a Tall Orinoco next year and try one as a perennial. |
I was going to say Rajapuri but I think the trunk is to small. Orinoco sounds right,I had some(don't know what kind)that fruited |

"" it-if it is the same as the ones I had,you will have bananas next fall"" if he has a long enough growing season and that being if they are Orinoco which they seem too be. |

Shopping at a local green house/grocery store, and found this 6" pot of sans - at least 3 different varieties. It looks as though it was the end of the day and they shoved in all the left overs, or maybe they were trying for a bouquet of sans. I bought it mainly for the big one in the center - no margins, and the backs of the leaves are light green with dark green markings. It is about 12" high. I see 4 leaves with yellow margins, and I think they are leaves only. It looks like I have 2 or 3 bird's nest tucked in there. One of those is almost black with bright green markings. No margins. I have one pup, and it looks white with green markings, no margins. But it is very young, and will need to grow before I can ID that. I need opinions - will it hurt to wait till spring to divide it? I would expect to see zero roots if I divided these plants, and I think I might want warmer weather so I can have some success. I'll add another picture to show more plants. Lennie |

I would wait until Spring to repot.....unless you have them in very warm and light conditons. I wonder if they did shove mixed types together.............or if the margined plant sported the all green one (happens sometimes). You will have to wait until you do decide to unpot to see if they are connected. |
Lennie, I think Woodnative is right. They look like rooted cuttings of Sansevieria trifasciata Laurentii. Which would result in trifasciata. Maybe those leaves were from Sansevieria trifasciata 'Compacta', which would result in Robusta. Which is a wider shorter growing trifasciata. The young would look like the shorter hahnii. I had the same happen to me. Below is the picture. |
I agree - the Laurentii has sported. That explains what I was seeing. I'm fascinated. I see lots of variety, each plant has a bit different color, texture or shape. My house is definitely on the cold side, so I will leave it as is and maybe repot in the spring. Thanks! |

On some species all of the leaves can be different. So don't be surprised, just enjoy the differences. ll |

You gotta admit that's pretty cool, eh?

"Really? Well, that's too bad..."
"Sure is, but you're in luck, we've got a spare rocket engine just sitting over in the hangar there. We'll swap the parts and you'll be on your merry way to orbit in a couple days!"
"Oh! How fortuitous!"
I mean, how many launch companies can realistically have a dialogue like that?
Re:technical problems != technicalities (149 comments)
Don't think you can turn off the engines once they are lit up, most rockets are based on one long controlled explosion coming out of the back.
The article I saw said it was aborted at T minus 0 5 seconds, which is cutting it closer to the explosion than most action movies does
Well, actually the explosions (9 of them, 18 technically if you count the gas generators) happened. Rewatch the videos, you can see the engines light, very brightly if I do say so. They were just cut off when a commanded abort closed some valves somewhere along the fuel/ox supply lines.
As for being able to shut rocket engines off, well that's simply a matter of what kind of fuel you're burning and how much control you have over your valves if the fuels are liquid or gaseous.

Re:Another step (127 comments)
It is always amazing to me when folks are willing to hold up a piece of fictional art to contest a15,000 year old (how long have modern humans been around exactly?) historical trend. We've been developing earth-shattering technologies that could be used to royally obliterate ourselves for awhile now. Think about it, designing a metallic blade that could, literally, break every other blade wielded against it back during the various transitions from stone-age to bronze-age probably convinced many of the folks at the time that the individual wielding the metallic blade was all but invincible. And yet, somehow one metal blade wielding psychopath didn't conquer the whole world (though, some tried).
Technology breakthroughs have been occuring for thousands of years. The nuclear bomb, dynamite, machine guns, rifles, muskets, long bows, hell, even something as simple as putting a rotten corpse on a catapult and flinging it at your enemies could be considered technology. We've managed not to kill ourselves yet.
Does this new technology have the potential to destroy the human race? Maybe it will eventually, but so have a dozen other inventions throughout history. One badass, epic science fiction T.V. series is not an adequate bit of evidence to hold up and dispute this trend.

Re:Money, money, money (236 comments)
I am not sure cutting down the size of the military drastically is necessarily the best way to go after the bloated DoD budget. You could just as easily scrap and cancel a number of government-military-industiral-complex boondoggles and save a lot of money. I mean, if you look at some of the weapon systems being developed by Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman, Boeing, General Dynamics (is that what they're still called nowadays?), etc. you'll see that they are still, essentially, fighting the cold war. It could even be funny if it weren't so god-damned expensive.
Re:Blaming the wrong people (236 comments)
So his actual complaint is that, while President Obama stood up and advocated developing commercial launch instead of the SLS, when push came to shove, he just accepted the Congressional budget that was written despit all the grand-standing?
Interesting. I wonder if he thinks President Obama should have kept vetoing budgets until SLS got cut down to a size that was reasonable....for whatever definition of reasonable you like.
Re:"incident to arrest" (462 comments)
I hate to bring reality into this discussion, but the bill that was passed allows the police to search phones of people "incident to arrest".
I hate to bring the Constitution into your pedantry but what the hell does that matter? The fourth amendment is pretty damned clear that an officer of the law needs a warrant to search your belongings. That guaranteed right doesn't get pissed out the window just because a bastard in a uniform slapped a pair of 'cuffs on you. If you are arrested, and if the contents of your cell phone can be reasonably demonstrated to be pertinent to the legal case that you are being held for, then let the prosecutor prove it to a judge and get a warrant to search it just like they are supposed to do with a locked box.
I don't know what your civics class taught you, but as a California native I was taught that folks suspected of a crime (under arrest but not yet convicted) still have the same Constitutional rights that all citizens of the United States are delineated.

Re:Recent experiences in the U.S. and Canada (544 comments)
I used to do this. I found a nifty little hack around a lot of the corporate rules and some of the laws associated with having shoes in public places. Many of the rules and laws are written in such a way that makes it necessary for a person to have shoes, "on," but neglect to say anything about wearing them on their feet. I always walked around with a cheap pair of sandals clipped to my hip and the stores eventually figured out that I wasn't really violating any of their rules.

Re:The main issue with identifying felons in US (82 comments)
Why shouldn't Christians kill?
Well that whole 6th (5th?) commandment gets in the way sometimes.
Thou shalt not kill
Of course, most of the Christian religion is based around the theme of, "Do as I say, not as I do." But since that is also one of the fundamental parenting techniques we use to raise kids in the States, it shouldn't come as a suprise that it is widely accepted.
"Crisis, what crisis,"... "There is no crisis in orbit,"
US Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) introduced H.R. 3311 earlier this year to appropriate $154,500,000 for research and study into the transition to a per-mile vehicle tax system
The article goes on to describe how Oregon already has done some research and testing of of such a tracking system. Tracking the mileage per vehicle in the United States via a GPS-RFID reader technology combination would allow the federal government to accurately tax motorists based on how far they actually drive. Currently, motorist taxes are levied at the gas pump. The bill being discussed would invest nearly $155 million in developing a system that tracks vehicles based on a unique GPS unit installed in each car. The GPS unit would communicate the data it gathers to RFID readers placed along roadsides at a particular interval. The U.S. Treasury Department would be in charge of the research program and would, thus, receive the appropriated tax money for research.
Like all fun government surveillance legislation, this funding and, if implemented, the program itself raises more questions about American's right to privacy. Do we really want the government, or any other agency for that matter, to track our movement and driving habits on a regular basis?

Yesterday our contractor finished installing new unfinished oak floors in our new kitchen and will be coming back later today to sand and stain them. When I went to look at them this morning I saw that the entire floor has been covered with wood filler that has obviously been left to dry overnight. My heart fell because the beautiful oak I saw a few days ago is now covered in a beige mess. I've watched a lot of DIY shows and I've never seen this done.
Is it usual to use wood filler like this on a new floor installation? The floorboards were nailed in the side and there should be no nail holes to fill, so I am truly puzzled. Surely the boards should be left with natural gaps to expand and contract? or if filling gaps in the boards is not the purpose is there some other reason to do this? Also, is it usual to sand a newly installed floor? Obviously, now it has to be sanded to remove the wood filler, but I'm concerned that we are paying for an unnecessary step. I'm really not sure what to ask my contractor when he shows up later or whether to say anything about it. Some advice would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Paste wood filler is used to fill the pores in the wood, not the gaps between the boards. A newly installed hardwood floor that will be site finished requires sanding before finishing. The sanding creates a flat surface. |
Thanks for the info, brickeyee. That is reassuring to know and I didn't have to query my contractor with silly questions. I find it odd that when I did a google search for installing and finishing wood floors I got various websites, but none mentioned this step and I've never seen it done or mentioned on DIY shows. Is it something that is considered an optional extra step? Or is it usual? |
Forget what you've seen on DIY shows...professionals are appalled by the misinformation that sometimes shows up on them. I install and finish wood flooring. 1. Wood filler is part of a professional sand and finish. There are always minor defects to correct with filler on ANY unfinished wood flooring install. 2. ALL newly-installed unfinished flooring gets sanded. |
Thanks, glennsfc. Could you also have a look at the new question I just posted? I'd love to have the opinion of a professional. |

Aid Groups Fight Anti-Prostitution 'Oath' on Free Speech Grounds
3:05 pm in Uncategorized by Michelle Chen
Originally posted at In These Times
One of the few bright spots in the global response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been PEPFAR, the United States government's program to fund treatment and prevention for vulnerable populations across the Global South. But several years ago, lawmakers singled out one group of people as less worthy of that care. In fact, aid groups must publicly denounce them—or risk losing U.S. funding.
That's the basic idea behind the "anti-prostitution loyalty oath" embedded in the global AIDS initiative legislation. As a condition of receiving federal funds, organizations must adhere to avaguely worded anti-prostitution pledge, essentially swearing to the government that they do not support or promote prostitution. The extent of this restriction on their work is unclear; the only thing that is clear is that federal health authorities have sought to impose ideological views on aid workers in a way that could undermine both public health and organizations' free speech rights.
The policy has been blocked on constitutional grounds in lower court decisions, but the White House will now take the case to the Supreme Court, which will rule later this year on the question of whether the government can link support for U.S. health organizations to the adoption of certain ideological positions on prostitution.

text: 028 FXUS64 KMAF 292331 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 525 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2015 .DISCUSSION... See 00z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... Winds will remain elevated and gusty out of the northeast until around 06z when they will weaken and shift more toward the east. Areas of light rain showers will be present lasting through the day Friday. Rain mixed with snow and sleet will be possible after 12z Friday for CNM and HOB. Low ceilings will begin coming into the area between 14z and 18z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 331 PM CST Thu Jan 29 2015/ DISCUSSION... Models are in decent agreement regarding the progression of a southern stream upper low which will dominate sensible weather across the region tonight through the upcoming weekend. Recent water vapor imagery indicates a low pressure circulation currently off the southwest California/Baja coast, which is progged to eventually cut off and slowly sink south before progressing eastward over the coming days. Deep southwesterly flow aloft ahead of the approaching system will allow for significant Pacific moisture to overspread the area, with precipitable water values from 0.80 to around 1.00 inch expected by Friday night, approaching 2 standard deviations above normal for this time of year. All that said, expectation is for precipitation to begin from west to east late tonight, though some timing uncertainties exist due to a dry layer below 750mb that will have to be overcome before any precipitation reaches the ground. This system, unlike the previous, is not accompanied by an Arctic intrusion. Thus, temperatures should remain around or above freezing for the duration, yielding a cold rain for all but the Guadalupe Mountains, northern Lea, and northwestern Eddy counties in New Mexico, where model soundings indicate probabilities for sleet to mix in with the rain mainly from late tonight through Friday. The aforementioned locations will likely see a mix of rain and sleet, with the greatest chance for accumulating sleet and perhaps snow in the Guadalupe Mountains, where up to 3 inches of accumulation are possible. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Guadalupe Mountains from late tonight through Friday afternoon, please see the appropriate product for details. By Friday evening, widespread moderate rain is expected across the area, which could become heavy at times. Locally heavy rainfall could cause localized flooding problems overnight Friday night, particularly in areas with poor drainage and traditional low water crossings. As the closed upper low slowly drifts eastward across northern Mexico on Saturday the axis of heaviest precipitation will shift eastward toward central Texas. However, dynamic support thanks to the nose/left exit region of a 85-90kt 300mb jet as well as widespread 500mb height falls and increasing midlevel lapse rates, mainly south and west of the Pecos River in Texas, support the potential for at least isolated thunderstorms during the day on Saturday. While the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted portions of southwest Texas for thunderstorms Saturday, no severe weather is currently anticipated. A cold front will move southward through the area on Sunday, helping to push the greatest chance for continued rainfall to the south, though the accompanying cooler air is not expected to last very long. However, given ample moisture in place ahead of the front, there is another chance of thunderstorms from the Trans Pecos southward to the Big Bend Area during the day on Sunday. Severe Weather is not anticipated with any storms that develop on Sunday, though model soundings indicate CAPE values around 850 J/kg in the aforementioned areas, thus, gusty winds and perhaps even some small hail could be possible. Through the weekend, continued precipitation and ample cloudcover will keep temperatures from varying too much, with highs from around 40 to the mid 50s Friday through Sunday, and lows in the low 30s to low 40s tonight through Saturday night, and then dropping into the 20s to 30s behind the front Sunday night. By Monday upper low will be well to the s and temperatures will warm slightly, but still below normal. A more noticeable warming trend will develop Tue when 85h thermal ridging develops and high temps climb back into the 60s. Meanwhile another cold surge will be plowing swd thru the nrn high plains arriving in W TX/SE NM Wed. Blended data does look abit warm.

Offering a wide variety of further education courses to over 16,000 students in the north of England requires a lot of collaboration. It's a busy environment, with students and lecturers constantly on the go, trying to keep up with hectic schedules and multiple work deadlines. The top priority for the college's 1,200 staff is always delivering the best quality lessons.
Many teachers at the City of Liverpool College used tablet devices to help them do this, but the variety of models used raised complications for both the staff themselves and the IT team supporting them. Ken Ryan, head of IT at the college, explains some of the issues:
"Our staff want to work as effectively as possible, and to deliver the highest-quality lessons and lectures," explains Ryan. "But they often struggled with not having the most appropriate technology at hand."
To help simplify and streamline processes, the College opted to purchase 600 Lenovo Tablet 2 devices, powered by the Intel Atom processor and running Microsoft Windows 8 Pro.
(Sign up for TabTimes' free Tablets in Education monthly newsletter)
Teacher tablet training
The revised tablet program implemented with support from local IT solution provider Gardner Systems, which assisted with the hardware selection and roll-out, and by Softcat, which supplied the tablets themselves.
Following distribution of the new devices,the college set up an ongoing training initiative called Lunchbytes to inspire teachers to make the most of their new resources. Internal experts work with the IT team to develop content for these sessions, which help share best practices and ideas for using the tablets from around the college.
The tablets themselves run a combination of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Lync. Document editing is now much simpler, since lecturers can update their presentations on their tablets.
This has worked so well that as a next step, the college is considering removing all teacher desktop PCs from its classrooms, replacing them with a tablet docking station and an HDMI cable to connect their tablets directly to electronic whiteboards.
"We've seen a significant increase in registration tracking rates in our central database as staff can now update it in real time, and the barrier of having to remember to go and do it in the staffroom later has been removed," Ryan said. "It's saved them a lot of time that they can now spend on working with students and preparing even better lessons.
