3 Offer up all the fat: the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, | 3 All its fat shall be offered: the fat tail and the fat that covers the inner parts, |
4 the two kidneys and the fat encasing them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver that is removed with the kidneys. | 4 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which is to be removed with the kidneys. |
5 The priest burns them on the Altar as a gift to God. It is a Compensation-Offering. | 5 The priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made to the LORD by fire. It is a guilt offering. |
6 Any male from among the priests' families may eat it. But it must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. | 6 Any male in a priest's family may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy. |
7 "The Compensation-Offering is the same as the Absolution-Offering - the same rules apply to both. The offering belongs to the priest who makes atonement with it. | 7 " 'The same law applies to both the sin offering and the guilt offering: They belong to the priest who makes atonement with them. |
8 The priest who presents a Whole-Burnt-Offering for someone gets the hide for himself. | 8 The priest who offers a burnt offering for anyone may keep its hide for himself. |
9 Every Grain-Offering baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who presents it. It's his. | 9 Every grain offering baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who offers it, |
10 Every Grain-Offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron. | 10 and every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry, belongs equally to all the sons of Aaron. |
11 "These are the instructions for the Peace-Offering which is presented to God. | 11 " 'These are the regulations for the fellowship offering a person may present to the LORD: |
12 If you bring it to offer thanksgiving, then along with the Thanksgiving-Offering present unraised loaves of bread mixed with oil, unraised wafers spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour, well-kneaded and mixed with oil. | 12 " 'If he offers it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering he is to offer cakes of bread made without yeast and mixed with oil, wafers made without yeast and spread with oil, and cakes of fine flour well-kneaded and mixed with oil. |
13 Along with the Peace-Offering of thanksgiving, present loaves of yeast bread as an offering. | 13 Along with his fellowship offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of bread made with yeast. |
14 Bring one of each kind as an offering, a Contribution-Offering to God; it goes to the priest who throws the blood of the Peace-Offering. | 14 He is to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the LORD; it belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offerings. |
15 Eat the meat from the Peace-Offering of thanksgiving the same day it is offered. Don't leave any of it overnight. | 15 The meat of his fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; he must leave none of it till morning. |
16 "If the offering is a Votive-Offering or a Freewill-Offering, it may be eaten the same day it is sacrificed and whatever is left over on the next day may also be eaten. | 16 " 'If, however, his offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day he offers it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. |
17 But any meat from the sacrifice that is left to the third day must be burned up. | 17 Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up. |
18 If any of the meat from the Peace-Offering is eaten on the third day, the person who has brought it will not be accepted. It won't benefit him a bit - it has become defiled meat. And whoever eats it must take responsibility for his iniquity. | 18 If any meat of the fellowship offering is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who offered it, for it is impure; the person who eats any of it will be held responsible. |
19 Don't eat meat that has touched anything ritually unclean; burn it up. Any other meat can be eaten by those who are ritually clean. | 19 " 'Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it. |
20 But if you're not ritually clean and eat meat from the Peace-Offering for God, you will be excluded from the congregation. | 20 But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people. |
21 And if you touch anything ritually unclean, whether human or animal uncleanness or an obscene object, and go ahead and eat from a Peace-Offering for God, you'll be excluded from the congregation." | 21 If anyone touches something unclean--whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean, detestable thing--and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.' " |
22 God spoke to Moses, | 22 The LORD said to Moses, |
23 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, Don't eat any fat of cattle or sheep or goats. | 23 "Say to the Israelites: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats. |
24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals can be put to some other purpose, but you may not eat it. | 24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. |
25 If you eat fat from an animal from which a gift has been presented to God, you'll be excluded from the congregation. | 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the LORD must be cut off from his people. |
26 And don't eat blood, whether of birds or animals, no matter where you end up living. | 26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal. |
27 If you eat blood you'll be excluded from the congregation." | 27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.' " |
28 God spoke to Moses, | 28 The LORD said to Moses, |
29 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: When you present a Peace-Offering to God, bring some of your Peace-Offering as a special sacrifice to God, | 29 "Say to the Israelites: 'Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the LORD is to bring part of it as his sacrifice to the LORD. |
30 a gift to God in your own hands. Bring the fat with the breast and then wave the breast before God as a Wave-Offering. | 30 With his own hands he is to bring the offering made to the LORD by fire; he is to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the LORD as a wave offering. |
31 The priest will burn the fat on the Altar; Aaron and his sons get the breast. | 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. |
32 Give the right thigh from your Peace-Offerings as a Contribution-Offering to the priest. | 32 You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution. |
33 Give a portion of the right thigh to the son of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the Peace-Offering as his portion. | 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share. |
34 From the Peace-Offerings of Israel, I'm giving the breast of the Wave-Offering and the thigh of the Contribution-Offering to Aaron the priest and his sons. This is their fixed compensation from the People of Israel." | 34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is presented and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their regular share from the Israelites.' " |
35 From the day they are presented to serve as priests to God, Aaron and his sons can expect to receive these allotments from the gifts of God. | 35 This is the portion of the offerings made to the LORD by fire that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests. |
36 This is what God commanded the People of Israel to give the priests from the day of their anointing. This is the fixed rule down through the generations. | 36 On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their regular share for the generations to come. |
37 These are the instructions for the Whole-Burnt-Offering, the Grain-Offering, the Absolution-Offering, the Compensation-Offering, the Ordination-Offering, and the Peace-Offering | 37 These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering, |
38 which God gave Moses at Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the People of Israel to present their offerings to God in the wilderness of Sinai. | 38 which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the LORD, in the Desert of Sinai. |

About Energy Efficiency
The UNECE undertakes activities to assist countries in enhancing their energy efficiency, promoting the formation of an energy efficiency market in the countries so that cost-effective investments can provide a self-financing method of reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It also assists countries to address the financial, technical and policy barriers to energy efficiency and renewable energy investments.
For more information on UNECE work for energy efficiency see What UNECE does for you [issue No. 6, 6-27 November 2006]
- Final Report on Energy Efficiency Investment Project Development for Climate Change Mitigation
- Biomass Energy for Heating and Hot Water Supply in Belarus
- Green Labels Purchase – making a greener procurement with energy labels
- Development of Coal Mine Methane Projects in Central and Eastern Europe and CIS
Energy Efficiency Investment Project Development for Climate Change Mitigation
With the support of the United Nations Foundation and co-financing partners, the Energy Efficiency Investments for Climate Change Mitigation project has demonstrated that it is possible to identify, develop and finance energy efficiency and renewable energy investment projects that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Eastern Europe and the CIS. This is an important step for energy efficiency market formation in economies in transition and essential for further progress. The final report describes the results of the five-year project including some US$ 60 million of energy efficiency investment project proposals. The World Bank and other investors have approved financing for eighteen investment projects in Belarus, Bulgaria, Russian Federation and Ukraine for a total of US$ 14.9 million. These investments would reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 136,000 tonnes per year. In comparison, this is equivalent to the annual environmental benefits of:
- Eliminating the CO2 emissions of 68,000 cars or;
- Offsetting the use of 610 railroad cars of coal or;
- Planting 15,000 hectares of forest.
Biomass Energy for Heating and Hot Water Supply in Belarus
The project addressed the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Belarus by increasing the capacity of the government to support biomass energy projects and the capacity of customers to finance and implement them. This project focused on strengthening institutional capacity to support biomass energy projects; establishing a track record for investments in sustainable biomass energy projects, including both fuel supply and demand; developing straightforward financial "starter" mechanisms in a challenging investment climate that will allow continued financing for biomass energy projects; and overcoming negative perceptions of biomass energy and provide public and private investors with much-needed market information.
Green Labels Purchase – making a greener procurement with energy labels
This sub-regional project included Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland and Slovenia. The objective of the project was to increase the use of energy labels in the procurement process in public authorities, the tertiary sector and administrations of industry and SMEs. The project aimed to achieve the raising of awareness and knowledge concerning energy labels as a simplifying instrument for "green" procurement in public and private departments; identification of main barriers against the implementation of energy related "greener" procurement and target specific actions to overcome them; developing and disseminating a set of standardized tools and a harmonized procedure to support a wider distribution of labelled products for "greener" procurement procedures; involving a selected group of public and private stakeholders in the development of a significant number of "greener" procurement pilot projects, based on labelled products and a standardized procedure to be used as the first step for the introduction of a comprehensive green procurement in Europe.
Development of Coal Mine Methane Projects in Central and Eastern Europe and CIS
This sub-regional project included Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation and Ukraine. The goal of this project was to facilitate financing of 3-6 coal mine methane projects in the CEE/CIS region during the life of the project, and to raise the awareness of the benefits that coal mine methane has in economic, social and environmental terms. Methane is a greenhouse gas with a radiant forcing 23 times greater than that of carbon dioxide emissions, and coal mining accounts for ten per cent of the total human-related methane emissions globally. This project sought to encourage the transfer and deployment of proven and experimental technologies to the areas within the CIS/CEE that have significant coal mine methane emissions. In the past, a major barrier to further implementation has been the inability of CMM project sponsors to secure adequate capital to finance such projects. Therefore, this project focused on addressing this barrier through preparation and presentation of bankable project documents for three to six coal mine methane projects; dissemination of lessons learned to project sponsors through workshops and a dedicated website; and development of a financing "roadmap" at the conclusion of the project to assist project developers in the long-term.

When company founder Gina Kelley (my sister!) started eating a strict gluten-free diet six years ago, all she really wanted was a good scone. After a year of trial and error – and baking scones once a week or more – her No. 1 All-purpose Flour was born. She added more flours and baking mixes to her collection, and earlier this year she opened her flour production company: www.glutenfreegourmand.com.
Here we are in 2005. Why 2005? Because for some reason I could not find a more recent photo of the two of us. Back then, Gina (left) was contemplating joining the Gluten-free Lifestyle.
If you or your child can no longer eat wheat due to a diagnosis of celiac disease or gluten intolerance, you need to try these flours out. Everything is blended by hand and produced in small batches. I made my first attempt at gluten-free baking with Gina's pastry flour for Thanksgiving: I whipped up my old standby, the all-American apple pie. I was nervous to try a wheatless flour, but I followed my favorite crust recipe and simply substituted Gina's flour for the wheat flour.
It was a success! I had to add a little more water than usual to the recipe, but it rolled out just fine, browned up nicely in the oven, and–most importantly–tasted delicious.
New to gluten-free baking? Try the pancake mix.
Starting today on the Green Baby Guide, you can enter to win two flour mixes of your choice! You can enter up to three times. Here are the three ways to enter:
We'll choose three winners on Friday, November 30th. U.S. addresses only, please. Good luck!
I would love to try teh all purpose flour and the pancake mix!
great looking site, I liked the bakers kit!
My granddaughter is Celiac, and I thought I had tried them all – but then I heard about yours! I'm really anxious to give this a shot as everything sounds so delicious. I would love to try the artisan mix and the rustic boule mix. I don't usually get too hopeful about give-aways, but this time, I am!!!
I took a look at the store and was impressed by the well-designed feel of it.
I would like to try the all purpose flour and the pizza dough.
I'm still new to GF baking. To be honest, I'm actually quite scared. So I'd want to keep things simple with #1 or #3 mixes.
As for your site, I like your blogroll. With the visuals, you can get a feel for what others are writing about.
Already a fan of Gluten-free Gourmand
It is so hard finding a good gluten free flour mix! I would love to try making a good christmas pie!
I would love to try the bread flour and the all purpose flour blend.
I'd like to try the Boule bread mix and pancake mix. Since being diagnosed with severe gluten intolerance, little things like this can make a difference.
I would like to try the scone mix!
I liked Gluten Free Gourmand on FB!
I like all the options on at the store. Great giveaway!
Oh and I would like to try the bread flour.
I liked Green Baby Guide on Facebook. I already like the Gluten-free Gourmand!
I love the Teff Sandwich Bread recipe. I 've made it several times and with different flours. It is delicious with oat flour too.
I would love to try any of your flours. But would particularly love to try:
no. 2 deluxe pastry flour
no. 3 scone mix
Because it sounds like Gina knows her scones! And I haven't made anything GF that uses pastry flour yet.
I also tweeted this blog post @Lambkintoques
I just liked the Gluten-free Gourmand on Facebook and I'd love to try the pizza dough and the No. 1 all-purpose flour if I win the drawing, please. Thank you!
I'd love to have the No. 3 Scone Mix and No. 8 Pancake Mix!
The Gluten-free Gourmand's Gluten-Free Baker's Kit catches my eye
I like Gluten-free Gourmand on Facebook.
I'd like to try the all purpose flour and the pancake flour
This is great info that I'm sharing with my friend Robin. Have you guys seen these share buttons? I use them on my blog, they are great!

A Chinese pianist who lost both of his arms during his childhood wowed a packed audience at Shanghai Stadium with his inspiring performance on the television show "China's Got Talent."
Twenty-three-year-old Liu Wei, who had to have his arms amputated at the age of 10, performed the James Blunt hit song "You're Beautiful" with his toes before a packed stadium crowd.
"Music is like water and air to me. I can't live without it," Liu said in an earlier interview.
Since his childhood, Liu always dreamed of pursuing a music career. He began his pursuit of that dream at the age of 18 and is proving that any disability can be overcome through hard work and perseverance.
All three judges of the talent competition - Shanghai stand-up comedian Zhou Libo, Taiwan singer-actress Annie Yi and mainland pop composer Gao Xiaosong - praised him for his for his determination.
"We all fought for our dreams when we were young, but no one has fought as hard as you," Xiaosong said at one of the auditions.
"You tell us that to realize our dreams, we need to spare no pain," Yi said. The final show also featured winners and finalists from the Got Talent series in Britain and the United States.

Seasonal Allergy Relief: 10 Tips
Seasonal allergies can be annoying, but with these 10 tips for seasonal allergy relief, you can lessen their effects. Seasonal allergies occur because the body reacts to an allergen that is present for one of the seasons of the year. Common seasonal allergies include pollen and mold. The effects of seasonal allergies range from itchy, watery eyes, to a stuffy nose, to a sore throat, to asthma, for some people. Use these ten tips for seasonal allergy relief to feel better.
- Identify your allergy triggers. This is probably the most important step in combating seasonal allergies. When you know what triggers them, you can take steps to avoid the allergen or lessen your exposure to it. The best way to do this is to see an allergist and get an allergy test.
- Take over-the-counter allergy medications. There are a number of effective over-the-counter allergy medications that can provide relief from seasonal allergies. These include antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays. A doctor can help you pick a medication that's right for you and your seasonal allergy symptoms.
- Close your windows. In the height of pollen season, it might be tempting to sleep with the windows open, because most pollen hits in the springtime. Closing up the windows, especially at night, can provide some relief from seasonal allergies.
- Wash your hands frequently, and shower after being outside. Pollen can stick to your hands and your body when you've been outside. If pollen is on your hands and you rub your face or eyes, you can set off an allergic reaction.
- Get into the AC. One way to help lesson the effects of seasonal allergies is to get into air conditioning, and use it in your house, and especially your bedroom. Air conditioning filters out pollen and mold. It's best to use an air conditioning system with a HEPA filter, which stands for "high efficiency particulate air."
- Don't forget that pets can carry allergens, too. If you have a furry friend in your life, keep in mind that he or she will carry pollen and mold and can contribute to your seasonal allergy symptoms. To get relief, make sure to wash your pets frequently and keep them out of your bedroom and off your furniture.
- Wear sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses can help keep pollen and mold out of your eyes when you're outside, and can help you keep your seasonal allergies at bay.
- Dry your clothes in an automatic clothing dryer. It may be tempting to hang your wash out to dry, especially in the spring and summer, but if you suffer from seasonal allergies, it's best to dry them in an automatic dryer. If you hang them outside, pollen and mold can cling to the clothing and rev up your allergies.
- Wear a mask when you're outside. To get relief from your seasonal allergies, wear a mask. You can buy a cheap painter's mask from a home improvement store. Wear it when you're outside to keep allergens out of your nose and mouth.
- See your doctor and have him or her prescribe medication. If you're really struggling with your seasonal allergies and nothing is providing enough relief, or if you're experiencing asthma or other breathing issues, you should see your doctor. He or she can prescribe something stronger than an over-the-counter medication to provide you with some relief.

Maintaining a budget can be complicated and time-consuming. Consider apps to help you keep your finances on track, pay your bills and save toward a goal. In this Tech Minute, CNET's Kara Tsuboi reports on her recommendations for virtual accountants in your pocket.
The service for helping people and companies manage their social media profiles gets more cash while also announcing a new acquisition.
Apple retail stores will begin offering the financing plans starting on August 20, according to employee training materials seen by 9to5 Mac.
Since last July, about 28 million consumers have opted to finance their phone rather than go the subsidized route.
New funds come eight months after the 4-year-old social-sharing startup closed a $225 million round.
Led by a list of prominent VCs, the new round of funding gives the 4-year-old company a valuation of $1.75 billion.
The company's revenue was up 40 percent and its mobile revenue was up a whopping 448 percent. Alibaba's profit, however, dipped 28 percent to $964 million.
The company's venture round will be led by DST Global, according to Recode's Kara Swisher. Other VCs, including Google Ventures and Shasta Ventures, will also join the round.
Video-streaming service posts improved subscriber growth overseas for the fourth quarter, making up for slower growth in the US.
Fans of the show will be one step closer to the dream of six seasons and a movie when the misfits of Greendale Community College return -- this time on tech giant's video service, Yahoo Screen.

If Vanity Fair Will Publish an Expose on Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton Will Publish an Expose on Vanity Fair
J.C., Clinton!
After Vanity Fair's long expose – a writearound, in fact, given that Bill Clinton refused to participate – in the July issue, which is getting more play thanks to the voluptuous Angelina Jolie gracing the cover, the ex-president's camp appears to have copy/pasted from its defense playbook, countering the article and the magazine that has a "penchant for libel."
Todd Purdum's article arrives just in time, because at some point this week, wife Hillary will be an after-thought as Barack Obama champions toward November, and our focus, genuinely, jumps to Obama vs McCain.
So while the public can still be relied upon for its interest in the Clintons, VF hits with "The Comeback Id," which opens with a not-so-kind portrayal of Clinton and his skeevy friends, like Ron Burkle, owner of the plane "Air Fuck One," and Steve Bing, whose favorite pastime is litigation. (Though there is this line: "In fairness, it should be said that Clinton???s entourage that weekend also included his daughter, Chelsea, and her boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, and no one who was there has adduced the slightest evidence that Clinton???s behavior was anything other than proper.")
The article, all nearly 10,000 words of it, which jumps around from his presidency and his scandals to his new sources of income and his role in his wife's campaign, can be summed up in this way: "What???s the matter with him?"
Writes Purdum:
As I sought to answer that question for myself, in conversations with dozens of current and onetime Clinton aides, many of whom I have known all these years (Clinton himself declined to be interviewed), I realized just how much about the former president is not known, and not knowable, at the moment, mostly because of his unapologetic stonewalling. Virtually no one, except Ron Burkle, knows just what Clinton put into Burkle???s investment business, or just what he has done since to earn millions of dollars, with the prospect of reaping millions more. Most of the names of the donors who have contributed some $500 million to Clinton???s library and foundation over the past decade are not known, either. Virtually no one, except his doctors and family, knows the precise state of Clinton???s health. Virtually no one really knows what strategic role he has played in his wife???s campaign.
And Clinton, for that matter, did not appreciate the attempt. His camp fired back with a lengthy retort that, for all intents and purposes, took a paintball gun, filled it with feces, aimed it at the Bank Street townhouse of Graydon Carter, and pulled the trigger.
A tawdry, anonymous quote-filled attack piece, published in this month's Vanity Fair magazine regarding former President Bill Clinton repeats many past attacks on him, ignores much prior positive coverage, includes numerous errors, and ultimately breaks no new ground. It is, in short, journalism of personal destruction at its worst.
The author, Todd Purdum, acknowledges speaking to over 50 people (almost all of them anonymous Washington insiders) before contacting President Clinton's office about his piece. Though he researched the piece for several months, his first contact with President Clinton's office was several weeks before he closed the story. Most revealing is one simple fact: President Clinton has helped save the lives of more than 1,300,000 people in his post-presidency, and Vanity Fair couldn't find time to talk to even one of them for comment. [...]
This piece was written by Todd Purdum, who is married to Dee Dee Myers, former White House Press Secretary. Purdum's disclosure of this in the piece does not, as Vanity Fair apparently concluded, remove the obvious conflict of interest. It's a conflict that would likely not be contemplated at more reputable publications, especially considering that, as a result of this relationship, at least one source's anonymity was revealed to others.
It is, however, but an example of Vanity Fair's ethical challenges. Since 1992, media outlets have reported on the magazine's penchant for libel, which has led to numerous lawsuits. The suits came from a wide range of people including: a former chess prodigy, Julia Sarwer; Mohamed Fayed; and American bio-weapons specialist and outed-anonymous source, Steven Jay Hatfill. In 2004, one of the magazine's "premier" writers, Dominick Dunne, was accused of paying a woman to lie for his stories. And in late 2006, the conservative author David Frum took to the pages of Huffington Post to explain how, "[i]n short, Vanity Fair transformed a Washington debate over "how to correct course and win the war" to advance obsessions all their own." [Huffington Post, 11/4/06]
Furthermore, several new outlets including the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times reported in 2004 on Editor in Chief Graydon Carter's capitalization on his position at Vanity Fair to explore consulting and investment deals. Specifically, they examined connections between Carter's personal consulting deals with movie companies and Vanity Fair's coverage. It was revealed that Carter had received a $100,000 consultant fee for suggesting to Hollywood producer Brian Grazer that Sylvia Nasar's book, A Beautiful Mind (which had been excerpted in Vanity Fair), be adapted into a movie.

LEGO hasn't just realized the purchasing power of its long-enduring fans (and, by extension, the fans' children); the company has also recognized the hazards of getting on their bad side. That was a lesson learned during the gray-brick debacle of 2003, when LEGO tweaked its manufacturing process, resulting in gray bricks that had a slight bluish hue. "Bley," is how obsessive collectors described the unfortunate change. "It created quite an uproar in the adult community, says Eric Kingsley, a Massachusetts-based AFOL who helped found the New England Lego Users Group. "These people are very interested in keeping a consistent color palette." Although LEGO kept the new color, the company made sure that future changes were run by their fans first.
While LEGO Universe is geared toward players ages eight to twelve, it's a fair bet that many AFOLs will log in, too. And the game could be a fan fiasco if NetDevil doesn't get the final product just right. So the game's developers have taken a novel, even radical approach: They've handed the keys of the digital kingdom over to some of the most passionate AFOLs and told them to build part of the game themselves.
That's the idea behind LEGO Universe Partners — known, thanks to the LEGO community's penchant for ungainly acronyms, as LUPs. "LEGO knew from the get-go it wanted a community portion to the game," says Foulds. "The community itself offers tremendous skill in building." Over the past few years, the game developers have recruited dozens of AFOL volunteers, including Kingsley and CoWLUG's Guarnieri, and provided them with the software necessary to build LEGO worlds on their home computers that could become part of LEGO Universe.
Exactly what they're coming up with is still top-secret, but according to Brian Johnson, LEGO Universe's community producer, it could range from levels that resemble giant versions of the old Milton Bradley board game "Operation" to adventures with J.R.R. Tolkien-like backstories. And once the game launches, even more LUPs may be brought on board to keep the strange, fantastical fringes of the virtual world flourishing. "I like to think of it like Tatooine in Star Wars," says Johnson. "It's what's going on in the outer rim of the universe."
That means that more hard-core fans will be spending more hours in front of their computer screens, building virtual LEGO worlds. It's a labor of love, says Guarnieri, who explains that it's all about "loving the brick." Even if it's a slightly bluer shade of gray.
Their LEGO escape rockets assembled, Spencer and Braxton Jones make it off their ill-fated spaceship just before it slips into the black hole.
They zoom to safety: a hilly, forested planet inhabited by friendly minfig townsfolk. But the forces of chaos and destruction have reached here, too. Hostile robots are running amok, and the locals have been forced, in true LEGO style, to repurpose their belongings in order to survive. One village seems to have fashioned a security perimeter out of a LEGO Winnebago.
Braxton takes his time exploring this colorful world, looking for new objects to accessorize his outfit and his rocket ship. Spencer is more detail-oriented, having been schooled in mission-centered games like those in the Call of Duty series. For him, it's all about getting through the level as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Next door, NetDevil employees take note of the different playing styles. They know the game has to accommodate both kinds of players, and many more — everyone from hard-core World of Warcraft vets to bumbling MMOG newbies, 'tween LEGO builders on the verge of the toy company's dreaded "dark period" and obsessed forty-year-old AFOLs.
Even if they pull that off and the game does well when it's finally launched later this year, NetDevil employees will still have their work cut for them. Unlike typical video games, MMOGs like LEGO Universe are far from finished when they hit the market. While NetDevil hasn't announced specific pricing, LEGO Universe will be a subscription-based game, with people paying a monthly fee to play it. "We have more in common with a business like HBO than Madden NFL," says company president Brown, who admits he was more into Star Wars than LEGO growing up. "They are going to continue to pay us to play the game, so we have to provide new content and features all the time." He points out that World of Warcraft, which boasts 11.5 million monthly subscribers and rakes in more than a billion dollars a year in revenue, now has hundreds of employees just to handle customer service. That means NetDevil could soon be knocking additional holes in its studio walls to accommodate even more workers.
If the game's successful, that is. It's also possible that the twelve-foot-tall LEGO brick may end up alongside the Auto Assault car as another in-studio testament to a game concept that got away. For all of NetDevil's work, no one really knows whether the unique alchemy of sensations that's made LEGO such a hit — the crunch of the bricks in their box, the pleasing snap of the pieces clicking together, the exhilaration of smashing a model to bits — can ever be fully re-created on a computer. "The hard part will be going from tactile to virtual," says Guarnieri. "You're going from something where you can pick up a piece and feel it and rotate it to maneuvering it with a keyboard and mouse."

Diane of Greenfield,MA, writes:
Hi Peter,
Thanks for this web blog. I have quite a few questions,hope that's okay. I emailed just before Christmas but saw your post so I am going to try again. My husband, 6'1", 255lbs, tends to like a firmer mattress. Me, 5'3", 135lbs., likes a little more softness but know I can always add a topper to my side. With a dog and cat on the bed, we are closer to 450lbs. We currently have a queen platform bed with a 4 year old sealy posturepedic, not sure of the name, but I think it's plush. My husband's concerns are the occasional backache, mine pressure points. We both are side and back sleepers. We also both have a sensitivity to latex and me to scents as well, so we are hoping that if we go with the synthetic latex, that it never poses an issue, as I know it is not supposed to. Our maximum price range is 2,000, or even a little less as we are also feeling we need to move up to a King size and would also need a new bed frame (which may come leter if need be). We just started our mattress testing, and tried an older model Springfree Latex Plush, called something like Jaminica. I didn't pay too much attention to the name as they said any new model we ordered would be a garden vine for the plush (your beachside I believe) and the firmer one is called brasswood, I think, which I am guessing would be your weybridge. My husband liked the feel, having prefered his old futon on the platform (before we got married), which I felt was much too hard. I also liked the feel of the springfree plush we tried out. Then we checked out the local Sleepy's (with no intention of buying from them) just to see if they had any to try. No Sealy Springfree, but we did check out their Tempurpedic, which is out of the question due to my scent sensitivity, the heat factor (my husband sleeps hot already), the questionable longevity and the off the charts price (at least for us), but we did both agree that we liked the feel of the support better than anything else we had tried. That being said, I tried out the springfree plush latex again the following day and felt slightly less jazzed about it. This mattress shopping is definitely confusing and stressful. Anyway, was hoping to get your thoughts on if you feel the beachside/garden vine would be supportive enough for us if we went ahead with the latex, but also wondered which spring/coil names of mattresses you might suggest for us to try out locally and the equivalent name if you carry them, then we can compare a little more before deciding on spring or springfree. Also (as if I didn't already ask LOTS of questions, not only are we thinking of moving to a king size, we are wondering if we should look for another platform or go with the box spring type of bed, any support difference in your opinion? Currently we like a lower bed for the dog to be able to jump up and having no footboard. If we do go with a platform again, do you think we could use either plywood or peg board (as I like the idea of more ventilation with the peg board)or do you think the peg board would be too weak? And lastly,do all the king sized bed frames you sell have middle legs/supports?
Thank you!
Hi Diane. The problem with the memory foam that's in the Tempurpedic...besides the heat and the odor, is that it doesn't feel the same at home as it did in the showroom. After you're in it a while, the heat from your body softens it.
It doesn't really make much difference if you have a platform bed or a frame and boxspring...as long as the mattress is properly supported. Adding pegboard to slats won't increase ventilation and the pegboard alone isn't strong enough.
Your best bet is the latex. The Weybridge is the firmest, and as you say, you can always soften your half. Boxsprings are available at 5" high, instaed of the standard 9". This will make it easier for fido.
The bed frames we supply for the latex mattresses are the best on the market. Most store charge extra for it.

The Yankees' 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox this past Monday will be remembered as a turning point game if the Bronx Bombers go on to win yet another American League East title. Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez and Yankees hurler Mike Mussina were engaged in a brilliant pitching duel in which neither was involved in the final decision. This was the kind of game I used to see all the time growing up in the late '60s and early '70s but it has become a rarity these days.
George Steinbrenner made a rare appearance in the press box in the last frame of the game to cheer his troops on. You could not blame "The Boss" for being excited. The Yankees were able to salvage a split of the four-game series after being pulverized by the Red Sox in the first two contests of the holiday series.
When the Mets traded second baseman Roberto Alomar to the White Sox last week it seemed as if the fans and the media reacted with the kind of unbridled glee which should be reserved for when Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein are apprehended. While Alomar never performed up to expectations as a Met, it is unfair to vilify him as someone who did not care. He appeared to hustle, if not always intelligently, based on his numerous head-first slides into first base trying to leg out an infield hit. He was always thrown out by a step however and that pretty much sums up his career in Flushing.
Ace Mets pitcher Tom Glavine voiced his displeasure last week at the QuesTec camera system which is being employed by Major League Baseball to critique umpires' pitch calls. Glavine feels that the umps are being pressured by MLB officials to call borderline pitches in the hitters' favor. Arizona Diamondbacks' Curt Schilling, a Cy Young Award winner, objected so much to this surveillance that he smashed a QuesTec camera with a bat. When informed of Schilling's strenuous protestations, Glavine chuckled and said, "Now that's telling you something. And Schilling has far better stuff than I have."
Al Leiter is never shy displaying his emotions but he went overboard in defending himself on 1050 ESPN Radio in response to WFAN air personalities Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo and Joe Benigno attacking him on the air for allegedly asking Mets Manager Art Howe to pull him from a tight Yankees-Mets game which the Amazin's went on to lose. The obvious implication was that Leiter lacked the guts to face the Yankees. The fact is that he was in physical pain.
Leiter's best days are behind him and frankly he is way overpaid for what he produces on the field. Having said that, it is ridiculous to question his courage as anyone who watched him throw 142 pitches in that nail-biting Game 5 of the 2000 World Series would attest. Leiter probably feels betrayed because he has been a frequent guest on WFAN and he probably expected "kid gloves" treatment from them.
You can't blame Mets General Manager Jim Duquette if part of him is pulling for the Phillies at Shea this weekend. It is not that he would be disloyal, it is just that any successful baseball GM has to have a Machiavellian streak in him. If the Phillies can challenge the Braves for the NL East title then it means that they might be interested in such high-salaried Mets players as Al Leiter, Jeromy Burnitz or "All-Star" Armando Benitez. The more playoff contenders there are, the more talent Duquette can extract from other teams. The Phillies have some superb minor league pitching as exemplified by Reading Phillies righthander Gavin Floyd and Lakewood Blue Claws southpaw Cole Hamels.

10 dolla holla
dress: Forever 21 recent (similar) / earrings: c/o Tryst Jewelry / sunglasses: similar / sandals: Marc Fisher loving these ones / purse: Phillip Lim for Target
Sorry we have been MIA for the past week! We took a nice little holiday break :). Corb and I reunited in California for our brother in law's wedding and it was so much fun. We had a beautiful week of CA sunshine and family time. So now for this outfit I found this dress recently at forever 21 for like 10 bucks! Such a steal! I am really loving black and white and the pattern and cut of this dress is so flattering. These earrings from Tryst are also some of my favorites. I love the bright red coral and the interesting design. They are even more beautiful in person. Happy Monday everyone!
p.s. is anyone else super excited for the bachelor tonight??….

Nice review. I like this album but it lacks behind the other ones to me.
Album Rating: 4.0:eek: band lineup was at the top!
Album Rating: 5.0Not at the very top though.
this is a sweet review man! you should review lullabies to paralyze because i think everyone elses sucks. do it man
Nice review, I don't see why some people don't like track-by-track review, it kinda makes sense to me. One grammatical error though - on A Song for the Deaf, you say "most darkest" - should be either "darkest" or "most dark" - darkest sounds best to me.
Meh album IMO. It gets so boring and contrived near the end.
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks for the correction Skinhead and I will probably do Lullabies To Paralyse, I was thinking about doing it for a while now.
at the bottom of your review it says:This song should be owned by nearly every Rock fan in the world, it's that essential!! i think it should be "this album" instead of "this song"
and if you do do lullabies to paralyze "final origin", make sure it doesnt suck like the other ones
Album Rating: 4.5Man, I have so many mistakes on this review!! Sorry everyone. And I if I review Lullabies To Paralyze, I will make it as fair as I always do on reviews.
Album Rating: 4.5You got to give this album time to grow on you, it was a 3/5 for me when I got it then after a few listens, it boosted up to 4.5/5! A Song For The Dead is my 2nd fav. on the album, just cause the drums just rock!
It's a good album from waht I've heard and is on my christmas list of albums to buy.
Album Rating: 4.5It's a very engrossing album.
Album Rating: 3.5I don't like this album as much as S/T or Rated R. It has some great songs, though.This Message Edited On 11.11.05

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Petco- Abbey!
Facts about Petco- Abbey
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Petco- Abbey's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, and good with cats.
Abbey is a sweet girl. Her owner had to go to a nursing home and didn't have anyone else the could take her pets, so they were brought here to our shelter. Abbey is about 8 years old, spayed and is declawed. Abbey lived with another cat in her home and was comfortable around any children that periodically came to visit.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Petco- Abbey, a Triadelphia Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Triadelphia, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Triadelphia.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Triadelphia already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Triadelphia breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Triadelphia paves the way for another one to be saved.
