- For patients with insurance coverage
- For patients with no insurance coverage
- Financial Assistance with Parking
- Meal Financial Assistance
- Pharmacy Assistance
- Lower Phone Rates for Low Income Households
- Transportation within the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti Area
Complex financial issues may arise during cancer care. To assist in asking the right questions and obtaining the appropriate resources, the U-M Cancer Center offers financial counseling assistance.
For patients with insurance coverage
The best source of information about the specific coverage is the insurance company that issued the health insurance policy or, if the patient is covered under a group policy at work, the employer's benefit office. Questions to ask the insurance provider:
- Is the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center a covered provider? If the plan does not cover our Center, ask if there are any exceptions. If no exceptions exist, the patient may still obtain care from our Center, but it will be at his or her own expense
- What inpatient and outpatient services, medications, prescriptions and diagnostic procedures are covered?
- Are there any limitations or restrictions on cancer care?
- Are there any out-of-pocket expenses?
- Ask for clarification if anything that is said that is not understood.
- Be sure to follow all guidelines and fill out all paperwork requested by the insurance company.
- Bring all necessary forms and referrals to the appointment.
- Always keep a written record of the organization contacted, including phone number, name of representatives and brief notes of what was discussed.
For patients with no insurance or insufficient coverage
Many people do not have full insurance coverage and some have no coverage at all. If this is the case, there are two main options: request a deferred payment plan from the U-M Health System and/or seek other sources of financial assistance, depending on the patients ability to meet eligibility requirements.
If the patient requires assistance, please notify the health care team. The team will then contact a social worker to help determine the resources available to help.
Financial Assistance
University of Michigan Health System's policy supports medically necessary health care for all people, regardless of their ability to pay. MSupport is our financial support program that may help you if you are uninsured, have limited or exhausted benefits. For more information, please visit the UofMHealth.org's webpage Financial Assistance.
Financial Assistance with Parking
Certain Cancer Center patients are eligible for 50 cent parking under the following two programs:
Bone Marrow Transplant patients are eligible for the parking discount when visiting for a clinic or treatment appointment.
Infusion patients who are receiving treatments more than once a week are responsible for paying the full parking fee for the first day of treatment, but are eligible for the parking discount for any subsequent treatments for the rest of the week.
In addition, there are many transportation opportunities to get patients to and from the University of Michigan for medical care. Our dedicated social workers are available to help to determine solutions, identify transportation resources, and arrange patient transportation for those who qualify. For more information, please call 800-888-9825 or visit the UofMHealth.org's Parking and Transportation webpage.
Meal Financial Assistance
The Guest Assistance Program (phone 800-888-9825) can provide information about eligibility for meal vouchers.
Pharmacy Assistance Program
The Guest Assistance Program offers help to patients who face financial difficulties purchasing prescriptions. For more information, call 800-888-9825.
Lower Phone Rates for Low Income Households
Staying in contact with others during cancer treatment is vital. From maintaining a dialogue with employers to receiving words of encouragement from friends, the phone is an important tool for patients.
Because no one should be without phone service, Ameritech, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission and the Michigan Public Service Commission, offers Lifeline Service which provides financial assistance for low income households. In addition to a 50 percent reduction in phone start-up charges, Lifeline Service provides an $8.25 discount on monthly phone service. Ameritech must be contacted within 30 days of ordering phone service. Households receiving assistance from Family Independence Agency automatically qualify.
For more information or to order by phone, call 800-621-8650 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Proof of income will be required.
Transportation within the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti Area

Ta-Nehisi Coates unearthed this video in which we see Ron Paul perpetuating the Lost Cause mythology that the Civil War was fought over "states rights" and not slavery. He further explains that it didn't need to be fought at all, which plays into the "northern aggression" myth.
And he says all of this while standing in front of a gigantic Confederate flag.
Ta-Nehisi: "At least he's against the drug war…"
In case you're not familiar with it, the Lost Cause was a myth developed after Reconstruction to make the southern cause seem more noble and thus allow southerners to be less demonized for slavery and the carnage of the war.

Emily confronts Patricia as she getting ready for the benefit. She tells her that she knows how to recognize a woman from an abusive home. After all, she spent years bouncing around the foster system after her father's death. Emily pulls out the letter and says it was the only thing that kept her going all those years; the only thing that gave her hope. Patricia admits that she wrote the letter, adding that Palmer "wouldn't have left it unsigned" because "he was brave." But Patricia was brave too. Emily wants her to channel that bravery again and keep a bad man from the power he so desperately wants. Patricia herself is the only person with the power to do so.
Patricia takes the stage at the benefit to introduce her husband. But instead of doing that, she begins to tell the story of Palmer. He knew the jury was tainted in the David Clarke trial. He wanted to come forward with the info that would result in a mistrial. Barnes tries to stop her from revealing that the verdict rendered was bought and paid for, but Patricia is safe in the spotlight. She confesses she wrote the letter to David Clarke in prison and announces her own husband's guilt. "The greater the power," she declares, "the greater the potential for abuse." Patricia then sheds her jacket, revealing bruises up and down her arms. The crowd gasps and Judge Barnes makes a run for it. I may have my problems with Revenge, but watching that woman expose herself like that was a genuine "I am woman, hear me roar" moment. I approve.
At home, Emily crosses off Barnes from her list. Aiden heads up the stairs, calling that he's going to take a shower. Daniel chooses this moment to show up on Ems' porch. He wants Emily to head up Grayson Global's charitable foundation. Emily says she'll think about it, but then she catches sight of Victoria watching the two of them from her own porch and changes her mind. "I'm flattered," she tells Daniel. He apparently takes this as an invitation because he leans in and kisses her. And you know what? She kisses him back. The moment's bittersweet, though, as Aiden watches from the shadows of Emily's living room. Well, that leads me to ask the obvious question: are you Team Daniel or Team Aiden? Does Daniel have a shot with Emily at all? Will Aiden double cross Emily to save his sister? What are your predictions for the second half of Season 2? Share them below!

Inspired by a few great meals we've had lately, I just had to share these two recipes as my Kitchen Tip for today!
Ryan's Mushrooms
My darling hubby came up with this scrumptious and oh-so-simple recipe for quick, sauteed mushrooms (sorry, I had a picture, but it has disappeared into the vast unknown regions of my highly disorganized digital photos).
1) Wash and chop a pound of fresh mushrooms (we usually use button, but I bet other varieties would taste good as well)
2) Add a Tbsp. of butter to a frying pan, and start sauteing the mushrooms on medium heat.
3) When the mushrooms start to soften, add a good long squirt of Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce, tamari, etc.) and a drizzle (maybe a tsp. or two?) of real maple syrup.
4) Saute just a few moments longer, until the mushrooms are soft and fully cooked, and the smell is so unbelievably good that you just can't wait a minute longer to eat them! Mmm… my favorite way to eat mushrooms.
Taco Salad
This is a simple, skeleton of a recipe that we eat often, especially in the summer. It's great because there are many variations, but it is also quick, healthy and tasty.
Begin with as many of these ingredients as possible:
Organic corn chips (organic is important, because corn is almost always GMO as well as extremely sprayed)
Ground beef (or turkey or chicken or even lamb), cooked with Mexican style spices, such as cumin, paprika, garlic, onion, chili pepper, etc.
Cooked beans (such as pinto, kidney, black)
Chopped Lettuce (romaine is nice, as it is so crisp)
Salsa (if I don't have time to make this, I will just use diced tomatoes)
Ripe avacados (or even better, turned into guacamole)
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Any other chopped veggies you'd like- mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc.
I layer everything together in this order:
1) Crumble a couple handfuls tortilla chips on individual plates
2) Add cooked meat and/or beans
3) Add lettuce and any other veggies
4) Sprinkle with cheese
5) Top with salsa, guac and sour cream
Not only does it taste amazing and fresh, it looks pretty too! This is such a kid friendly meal as well, with all the taco goodness in it, so no one will even notice that it's a salad!

Tang SF et al. – Botulinum toxin type A (BTX–A) is effective in reducing antagonistic and distant muscle activation that impedes volitional dorsiflexion.
Methods- 15 post-stroke and 10 matched neurologically intact subjects.
- Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Fugl–Meyer assessment of physical function scale scores along with surface EMG collected before and up to 12weeks after BTX-A injections to plantar flexor muscle motor points in stroke subjects.
- Saline placebo injections were performed in a subset of stroke subject group.
- MAS scores were decreased at 4, 8 and 12weeks but F–M scores did not improve until 12weeks post injection.
- Multi-muscle EMG patterns showed the return of volitional dorsiflexor activity in 11 and a decrease of antagonistic and distant coactivation in all but one of the 15.

I believe one of the few things that made me choose La Salle was that I actually felt like I belonged here when I visited. The people that you meet, the friends that you surround yourself with and the atmosphere the campus provides gives you a sense of home.
When I came to La Salle, I was really surprised that the professors actually take the time to learn your name and get to know you on a personal level. I don't feel like a number–I feel like an individual.

Huguely trial canceled for Thursday
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -
Update: No testimony will be heard today in the murder trial against George Huguely.
The case was canceled because defense attorney Rhonda Quagliana is sick.
Today's delay puts the trial behind one full day. The case will resume at 9 a.m. Friday.
Follow the trial here and on Twitter, by searching for #lovemurder or by following Christian Schaffer @chrisinbmore.
Recap from Wednesday
Huguely was taken back to his jail cell for the night after testimony wrapped up yesterday.
His defense team has begun to present its version of events from the night Yeardley Love died.
They called a brain expert to the stand and Huguely testified that Love didn't die from blunt force trauma, but from passing out in her bed and not being able to breathe.
Earlier in the day the prosecution rested its case by showing a picture of Yeardley Love in a body bag.
Both the prosecution and defense still hope to wrap up the case by this weekend.

Unfortunately for Bradley Central, Tuesday night's match against Coffee County dealt them their ninth loss in what has been a tumultuous season.
By the time that the final few minutes of the match had run down, the Raiders had a solid 4-0 win over the Bears.
The first Coffee County goal came five minutes into the game and was quickly followed by a second goal just three minutes later.
The Bears were able to hold the visitors out of their zone for the next 20 minutes, until a Raider was able to kick in the third goal.
Bradley Central found themselves trailing by three goals going into the next 40 minutes of play. That deficit soon increased by one more, as Coffee County got their final goal of the game just six minutes into the second half.
The Raiders found themselves awarded a penalty kick near the last twenty minutes of the match and gave their goalkeeper the chance to add one more goal to the scoreboard.
It was goalie versus goalie, but the Coffee County goalkeeper, while being able to shut out the Bears, was unable to pose a direct scoring threat on the penalty kick.
It wasn't until the last five minutes of play that Bradley Central was finally able to break past the Raiders' defense and register a couple shots on goal.
The late surge by the Black-and-Gold was unable to change the tide of the match, as they finished out with a goose egg on the scoreboard.
The Bears have one final match left to build some momentum up for their postseason. On Thursday, they are slated to take on visiting Sequoyah at 6:30 p.m.
The following day they begin 5-AAA tournament play, traveling to Athens for a 5 p.m. game against the number two seeded Cherokees.

Kylie Minogue quits singing: Ex Neighbours star eyes acting return after splitting with manager
KYLIE Minogue has called a halt to her music career just days after the end of celebrations of her 25th year as a singer, the Sunday Mirror can exclusively reveal..
The star has shocked her friends by splitting from her long-term manager Terry Blamey, who helped launch her into showbusiness when she was 19. It is claimed the Aussie was upset over tensions between Terry and her dad.
Kylie, now 44, has decided to concentrate on acting for the foreseeable future and take a break from music.
A source close to the star said yesterday: "Kylie's decision to stop recording for the time being and part company with Terry has come as a massive shock.
^ NOT true.
http://in.omg.yahoo.com/news/kylie-m...115645749.htmlMelbourne, Jan 14 (ANI): Kylie Minogue has refuted claims that she is quitting her singing career to focus on acting.
Britain's Sunday Mirror had earlier reported that the 44-year-old singer had "called a halt to her music career" and would devote herself to acting, under the bombshell headline "Kylie Minogue quits singing."
The paper also claimed that she had split from her long-time manager Terry Blamey.
The news of Minogue's retirement from music sent shockwaves across Twitter, with some people questioning the wisdom of such a decision, the Age reported.
The pop diva's official Twitter account, @kylieminogue, denied the claim, with a post reading: "#lovers #notquitting," followed by tiny icons of a love heart, followed by a microphone, a movie camera and a bright red lipstick print, which translated to: "I love music, I love film, I love youse all."
Unfortunately, none of this stopped several media outlets from pushing the "Kylie quits" on TV and online, powered somewhat ironically by constant retweets of the rumor.
Her Australian publicist put the claim to rest, expanding on the #notquitting tweet. She told Fairfax, "Kylie was never quitting music and she tweeted that overnight."
Blamey's original media statement said, "Kylie has decided to pull back slightly from the pressures of her career and devote more time to herself and her acting career. This is not to say she will be retiring from music, just taking a bit of a break." (ANI)
Singers never stop singing. How many times has Cher said farewell?

Kylie Minogue to star in dark comedy-drama on Sky Arts
http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/ky...n-sky-a/294738Kylie Minogue has taken her first TV acting job in over five years.
Minogue will star in a dark comedy-drama called Hey Diddly Dee airing as part of Sky Arts' Playhouse Presents... series. Minogue's co-stars in the one-off film include Peter Serafinowicz, Homeland's David Harewood and Mathew Horne from Gavin & Stacey.
Hey Diddly Dee was written and directed by former Hustle star Marc Warren, who does not appear in the film. Minogue said in a statement: "When the script was sent to me, I read it and knew instinctively I wanted to be part of this project. In Hey Diddly Dee, Marc has created a beautiful and quirky story. I have also enjoyed many of the Playhouse Presents… series and love that they have created a platform for this type of work."
Earlier this month it was reported that Minogue is planning to quit music to pursue an acting career. Minogue took to Twitter to dismiss this rumour, posting: "#lovers #notquitting".
THE boyfriend of Kylie Minogue has given a candid interview about how their relationship began as a "fling" and how he has no problem refusing his female admirers.
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment...-1226558532971Sexy Spaniard Andres Velencoso, 34, has been dating the pop diva, 44, since meeting on a shoot for her men's fragrance, Inverse, in 2008.
"It started off as a fling with Kylie but it turned into love," he told Spanish Vanity Fair.
"I've found a woman who loves me, and I love her."
On the women who throw themselves at him, the model said: "I'm going to Miami next week and they will be waiting for me at the airport, in bikinis. (But) if you know what you want and who you are, then nothing will distract you."
Velencoso said he wasn't sure if he and Minogue would get married or have children.
Kylie joins record lable Roc Nation
http://m.billboard.com/articles/news...se-single-soonKylie Minogue has joined Jay Z's Roc Nation family, the label and entertainment company announced Wednesday. The Aussie singer's U.S. publicist confirms to Billboard that the partnership is for management services, while she is still signed to Parlophone as a recording artist.
"We would like to welcome Aussie singer, recording artist, songwriter, actress and designer Kylie Minogue to the Roc Nation family!" the statement reads. "In a career now spanning 25 years, Kylie has released 11 studio albums, two live CDs, eight live concert DVDs, a greatest hits double album, and multiple video packages. She has released over 50 hit singles worldwide, including the Grammy-winning Come Into My World, and has sold more than 68 million albums worldwide. Needless to say, were excited to have Kylie join the Roc fam."
Minogue has already been added to the "Management" section of Roc Nation's site. She joins artists ranging from Rihanna, Solange, M.I.A, Shakira and Timbaland, another recent addition, on their roster.
Meanwhile, an industry source tells Billboard Minogue will release a new single "soon." She's been at work on a new studio album since at least the spring of 2012, as previously reported.
The forthcoming studio album will follow 2010's "Aphrodite," which debuted and peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 chart and reached No. 1 in the U.K. It generated four No. 1 singles on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Songs chart: "All the Lovers," "Get Outta My Way," "Better Than Today" and "Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)."
She supported the "Aphrodite" album by touring the world with the Aphrodite Les Folies/Aphrodite Live tour in 2011. The 77-show trek visited more than 20 countries. Of the tour's 41 concerts reported to Billboard Boxscore, Minogue grossed $32.5 million and finished 2011 with the No. 21 highest-grossing tour of the year.
The pop star's first single, "The Locomotion," was released in her native homeland of Australia in 1987. In her over quarter-century career, she has issued 11 studio albums and more than 50 singles.
She had been managed by Terry Blamey since her debut, and amicably parted ways with Blamey in January.

I did see the film a while back, but haven't been able to type this message out until now.
Kylie is in it for all of two minutes and has maybe 15 seconds of face time. The movie itself was very bizarre and not well written. To sum it up:
Blood, Seizure, lesbian sex, seizure, creepy image, girl masturbating, seizure, blood, Kylie, lesbian sex, creepy imagery, seizure, the end.
*Gorgeous earrings! Hate the top. Is that Seafoam Green? Hate that colour!

I gave the thread five stars, but it wasn't enough to change the three star rating.
Aw thanks.

imPRESS Press-On Manicure Reviews
Love Them!
These are my absolute favorite press on nails. In less than 5 minutes you have a full set of beautiful nails. I love the different colors they offer. They have playful, hip, cool designs to choose from. They stay on 5-10 days depending on what I'm doing with my hands during the week. Before I put them on, I clean my nails with alcohol and a cotton ball to remove any oil from the nail bed. After I ...read moreapply each one, I cover them with a clear coat to help protect the color and seal the edges. I also file the edges a little to make it a square/oval look. I don't care for the squared look, too harsh looking. I quit going to the nail salon years ago, salon nails make my nails soar and sometimes bleed a little, very painful. I 'm not paying for than pain any more. I will continue with my press ons! — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
Love them, but dont last as long as claims
What is great about these nails is that the process of applying is literally 4 steps and very simple; clean your nails (with the alcohol pad provided), match and find the perfect size, peel the sticker from the nail, and press the nails on. There is no drying time so these nails are great and easily applied even on the go or when running late. They are also easy to take off, and no need for ac...read moreetone or ruining your natural nails since no nail glue is being applied. I use my hands very actively throughout the day, so in terms of lasting power, the nails only lasted a few days (compared to the 7 days that the company claims). I believe part of the problem was that the nails didn't quite sit flush enough on my natural nails, the press-on nails felt a bit bulky and didn't fit properly towards my cuticles. In fact even though there were 24 nails with different sizes, it was a bit hard to find a perfect match, also some of the nails were a bit rough on the edges which made the smaller sizes uncomfortable. I like that this product comes in many different patterns (along with matte colors) so you can mix and match depending on your mood or the occasion, also I am a huge fan of not using nail glue since it does damage the natural nails, so it's great that these are press-on nails. I would highly recommend this product for a 1-2 night event such as a wedding, a date, or prom, simply because they do look very nice yet the lasting power is not the same as a salon manicure so they wouldn't work as great for everyday use. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Best Press ons ever
I loved these! I didn't expect them to stay on more than a day, I've never tried a press on that did! They were super easy to apply. I pressed them on using a significant amount of force, because I really wanted them to stick!! They stayed on 8 days, I only took them off because my nails had grown out and my hair was started to snag on the edges of the fake nail.

I like them
I like this product. They're much easier than painting my nails every couple of days and they never chip. It wasn't obvious that I was wearing fake nails (the patterned ones were a little obvious) because they have a thin appearance, yet they're durable; I could still function without worrying about them popping off.

These nails stay on much better for me than traditional glue-on nails and I refuse to pay for a trip to the nail salon.

These fake nails are fantastic. They will stay on for at least a week, and more if you aren't doing heavy duty activities. I have small hands, and the nails fit me very well, but there are a range of sizes in the box.

The nails will stay on, look great and natural. They do no damage to your actual nails. They are easy to remove, and there is virtually no mess. I put them on in the car on the way to a party and everyone though I had gotten my nails done. They are cheaper than a manicure, and way cheaper and less damaging then actual fake nails. Cons:The colors offered are a bit gaudy (cheetah print, sparkles etc). I recommend the basic red, the clear which you can paint over, or the french manicure one. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
does not even deserve a star! the first day i began to use them when ever i would take a shower my hair would get stuck in between the nail and the glue and pull my hair out. by the second day the nails began to fall off, and by the third day i took them off and threw them away.

Impress Nails
ImPress Press-On Manicure (by Broadway Nails and the Kiss Company) is a lighter, thinner press-on artificial nail. To attach, clean the nail with the enclosed wipe, peel the backing form the inside of the nail and press on.

They come in solid colors ($5.99) and dynamic prints ($7.99). You can print a $1 off coupon here. These are great when you just don't have time to do your nails or get a manicure. I also thought about putting a glitter nail polish over them and save myself the agony of taking it off my natural nails. I would definitely buy these again. — 2 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Solution to sexless relationship = charts with time-series analysis of success and failures given different inputs… oh Matt!
We're here for you buddy. I know Shazar has really ruined the mood around here, and for a while there, we all forgot what it was like to read thesis-level arguments, but this WSJ article is such a weakly veiled cry for help that I thought you should know it all comes from a place of love. Just remember, take it slow, listen to what her body is telling you, and just do whatever Shazar wouldn't.
"He initiated sex but was declined."
Mmm… As Shazar's mom would say: always finish what you've started. That should show the bitch.
That would be in line with the Opening Bell being posted at 10 a.m.
Are you guys fucking kidding with the Opening Bell lately?

A super cute video uploaded by Gregory Lyons, filmed in northern India and the Himalayas. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face!
Imported from external blog
12 people, 3 days and 1 school. The story of a community project trek deep into the Himalaya to help restore a school.
Suchita Ambarkdekar, 36, a financial consultant, and her businessman husband Deepak, 43, travelled with their friends Sushma and Satish Bhatt and their children to Kullu-Manali for a holiday in May last year. The destination was perfect for the kids and they spiced it up with some great activities.Why did you decide to go to Kullu-Manali for your holiday? Hasnât it been done to death?Well, as it happens, though we as a family like to travel widely, we had never been to Kullu-Manali! In fact, the Bhatts, too, had never visited that part of the country. We were a total of 10 people, five adults and five children, ranging in age from four to 46. Because we have young children, we prefer not to go to places too out of the way, so this destination suited us perfectly. It helped that we were looking for a cooler climate and natural surroundings, not a city.Read the full trip report here.
Calcutta News.NetSaturday 14th June, 2008 (IANS)A crucial bridge linking a famous Sikh shrine at Manikaran in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh collapsed Saturday morning, snapping the road link to the shrine.The bailey bridge collapsed after a container truck tried to cross it despite the warning that the bridge could not take such a heavy load, Superintendant of Police (Kullu) Jagat Ram told IANS on phone.Score of people were stuck as the truck was poised precariously atop the collapsed bridge till Saturday evening.Manikaran is known for its hot springs of water with high sulphur concentration.Jagat Ram said the bridge would be repaired in a few days. He said the traffic to the shrine from the direction of Mandi was diverted via Bajaura village in Kullu district.However, Anil Kant, a resident of Kullu, said the repair of the bridge might take more than two months.The army had built the bailey bridge after the link road to the main bridge across the Beas river was washed away in the 1995 floods.

Egypt - A UW Alumni Tour Perspective
As assistant director for UW Alumni Tours, I occasionally host tours that we sponsor. Our Egypt program is one of our most popular and highly rated tours, and this year I was finally able to experience it myself along with 19 UW travelers! As it happens, our trip Jan. 21 Feb. 6, turned out to be a memorable time to visit Egypt. Below is a short account of a day that would change the course of history in the Middle East.
Susan Cathcart
Jan. 25, 2011 Cairo, Egypt
After an active morning of exploring the Pyramids, the Sphinx and then a traditional Egyptian lunch on the river, we find that our tour bus cannot cross the Nile. Police have barricaded the entrance, and our Tour Director Hassan is pleading to the authorities that we HAVE to get back to our hotel on the other side of the river. Twenty intrepid Husky travelers are then directed by Hassan to get off the bus QUICKLY! We are now walking among demonstrators young and old who are also crossing the bridge to gather in Tahrir Square where a general protest is to begin at 2 p.m. The electricity in the air is palatable and we watch the excited and friendly crowd swell and enter the square.
Back at the hotel, the police presence is noticeable and we are told not to leave until the protest is over. UW Professor Jere Bachman, who is living in Cairo, is scheduled to speak to us and I am amazed when he appears in the hotel lobby. All trains had been canceled and roads are being barricaded. Fast forward to midnight, I am awakened by loud pops, sirens and chanting. As I step out onto my balcony overlooking Tahrir Square, I am astounded by the size of the crowd now and the size of the police force. A surreal moment amongst the chaos is the haunting call to prayer being broadcast from the minaret. In a few hours we would leave Cairo, bound for Aswan and continue our truly unique journey through Egypt.
What happened to Egypt and its people in those next 12 days, has been well documented. For us, it was an experience that can only be described as life changing the ultimate in educational travel. I think my fellow travelers sum it up best:
"Hasson (our tour director) was such a wonderful window into the minds, hopes, and experiences of the Egyptian citizen. Our best to the Egyptian people!"
- Sue and Gene Severson '64
"We came to Egypt as typical American tourists hoping to see the sights and learn more about its history. Instead we experienced a revolution that affected our world view and created an emotional connection with another nation's people. Not a bad vacation by any standard."
- Virginia, '70, and David, '71, Anderson
"In addition to the vast historical treasures we saw of course, the current political unrest we witnessed will be memorable. We look at it as the opportunity of a lifetime!"
- John and Maria Pease

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 Sundae!
Facts about Sundae
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sundae's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
HI! My name is Sundae and I'm a 2 year old Jack Russell mix. I was once someone's beloved pet. I love people, kids and other dogs and am very sweet.
If you'd like to apply for me, or any of my rescues other dogs, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to request an application or go to their website at www.labsandfriends.org and download and fill one out. They can be scanned and emailed or faxed to 818-351-8148 (no cover needed)..
Thank you for rescuing!
Other Pets at Labs and Friends.org
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sundae, a Burbank Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund for sale in Burbank, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund dog from a breeder in Burbank.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Burbank 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 Burbank 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 Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Burbank paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Fed Cuts Rates a Quarter Point
October 31, 2007
The Fed voted to lower the fed funds rate a quarter point to 4.50% today with one dissenting vote. The rate cut, which follows a 50 point cut in September, will effectively lower the prime lending rate in the United States to 7.50%. Loan payments, mortgages, and credit cards which are indexed to the prime rate have been relieved of a total of 75 points or 9% of the total financing charge prior to Septemnber, a considerate gift to the strapped American consumer.
Banks and financial services firms are the other major beneficiary of today's rate cut as the spread between short and longer term rates has widened which increase profit margins for banks.
Check The Savings Investor tomorow for a complete list of updates rates on investment products and loan products including online bank deals.

"The H3DII-50 merges the portability and functionality of medium-format digital photography with the sumptuous quality of large-format photography." Alec Soth
Shelly, Auckland, New Zealand, 2009. © Alec Soth / MAGNUM Photos
Peter's Houseboat, from Sleeping by the Mississippi, Winona, Minnesota, 2002. © Alec Soth / MAGNUM Photos
Pursuing Multiple MusesH3DII-50 Delivers Medium-format Portability, Large-format Quality Alec Soth (http://www.alecsoth.com/), of St. Paul, Minnesota, has been a professional photographer for 18 years, six with his own business. His fine art work has been exhibited internationally and hangs in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, et al. His editorial clients include The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, and The Telegraph Magazine. Soth's independent works include the books Sleeping by the Mississippi, Niagara, and Dog Days Bogota. His collaborative projects include Paris, Minnesota, a magazine of his own fashion images, some created for W Magazine and others with Magnum Photos. Shooting with an H3DII-50 since December 2008, Soth has found it a remarkable camera for pursuing his different muses.
When I begin a new project, I am open to whatever I find. While staying open is easier when working alone, even on collaborative projects, I prefer starting without an agenda. As a project develops, I find the thesis and the shooting becomes more focused. When I began the fashion project Paris, Minnesota, for example, I had no idea what would evolve. Eventually the theme - the distance between my life in Minnesota and the world of Parisian couture - developed organically.My creative forte is the ability to surprise. Put me out in the world, let me wander, and I'm pretty good at finding something rich and unexpected. On the business side, my greatest strength is being established in the traditional photography and fine art markets. I am represented by Gagosian, a world-class gallery, and Magnum, a legendary agency. Working within both of these worlds, I avoid putting all my eggs in one basket.Hasselblad, Then and NowBack in college, I could only afford a 35mm camera, so I cropped the pictures square. After college, I slowly assembled an arsenal of medium-format cameras. While I'm mostly known for large-format work, I use medium-format on a regular basis. I'll be working my way through my archives with a Flextight scanner for years to come.
I bought my first Hasselblad, a 501C, 12 years ago, and only recently acquired the H3DII-50. I've done a few commissioned projects with a digital Hasselblad, including Making Parts, a series on a metal stamping plant in Minnesota, for Granta magazine. Given the size and general chaos of the place, it would have been very difficult to light the scene myself. The H3DII's ability to quickly color-balance under mixed lighting conditions was a blessing.I worked outside this winter in January with the H3DII-50 and it was extremely fast. The autofocus, quality metering, large image preview with histogram, and exposure warnings further sped up the process. After importing the file onto my laptop with the Phocus software, very little image editing was needed. I tweaked the file in Photoshop and sent it to my HP Z3200 Designjet photo printer. Within an hour, I had a stunning 32x40-inch print that was completely noise-free and blazingly sharp. It had a subtle gradation of color very similar to large-format film, a creaminess and clarity I love.I'm always aiming for the highest possible print quality. The difference between a great print and very good print is subtle, but critical. With the HP Z3200, I am able to produce great prints. Along with having much more control of the final image, I get everything I need in a good print: subtle gradations of color, shadow detail, and excellent color gamut - the standard of true fine art prints. Assignment in AucklandThis past January, photographer John Gossage and I were invited to Auckland, New Zealand, by AUT School of Art and Design, to present a three-day workshop, "Strategies for Developing Your Own Personal Style." I spent another week making pictures with my new H3DII-50. Auckland was beautiful, friendly, and culturally interesting, but I felt that the happiness of the place was creating a sort of wall that kept me from finding pictures. Eventually, I found my way over and under the walls.I love working at dusk because objects seem to glow from within rather than reflecting light. I was curious to see if I could capture this quality digitally. For me, the picture of the blue house does this well. The blue is rich, carrying as much weight as the pink sky. Captured at ISO 50, 1 second, f/11, the image is noise-free and grain-free, making it easy to read the writing on the sign in the window.What struck me about Shelly, the blond with tattoos, was her beautifully pale skin. To emphasize the paleness, I shot her against her bed wearing a white tank top. I love the way the white sheets are cool, while her skin has a touch of pink. The Hasselblad did an excellent job of picking up these nuances in a nearly monochromatic setting. The authenticity of real light makes it harder to get sharpness, particularly in large-format photography, but the image is incredibly sharp. I captured Shelly at ISO 50, 1/4 second, f/4.8.With the H3DII-50, I have increased mobility during capture, and digital files that give me more control in the printmaking process. It merges the portability and functionality of medium-format digital photography with the sumptuous quality of large-format photography.

Well...The Nexus is con's...not counting the rewards and sheer amount of exp. I love the less trash, more boss way of thinking so far though. I've seen some interesting mechanics that is just plain fun, if annoying (Keristrasza, for one, having to keep moving/jumping). I also love the short instances... Even bad PUGs can tough it through a 30 minute instance lol.

Oct 26th 2008 4:43PM 1400+ DPS?
Not likely. T4/badge gear, and I can BARELY hit 1400 DPS on a 4 mob pull full of demon/undead.
The problem is all the "King/Queen's of DPS" crying that they're getting beat. And not just by Ret's, but by Arm's warriors to. "OMG melee beat me?!?" Seriously...you may say that ranged should be king, that because we wear plate it's not fair, but have you seen how fast we can die in a non-melee friendly enviroment? That plate armor mitigates more damage than cloth, but w/o defensive numbers, its only marginally better.
I for one am glad that melee dps in general has gotten a boost...since ranged only have to stand and shoot, we actually have to pay attention and work. It's only fair that we should do a little more damage, while you (who get to play in the relative safety of max range) get to keep going long after all the melee dies.

Oct 26th 2008 1:59AM I've been a Holy pally from day 1. I've recently respecced Ret, and am enjoying the hell out of it. Topping Recount is nice for a change. I'll be the first to admit that Ret pallies are OP. VERY OP. But Blizz has said that everything is tuned for level 80. That being said, how can one NOT expect someone to be OP. That's 10 levels that alot of classes are missing, when Ret's get their goods by level 70, and the rest is icing on the cake.
I understand the nerfs to PvP. In thrown together gear, I was rolling through BGs like a hot knife through butter. It almost felt like cheating. If I caught a clothie not prepared, they died. That's not fair. In PVE, on the other hand, I say let Ret have their day. If we're OP at 80, nerf us. Please. I'm all about being fair and balanced. But for the class that has been laughed at since WoW's inception (with the exception of Arenas), I think it's fair to let those hardcore Ret guys pretend they're a plate wearing mage for a few weeks.
I do wish that people, who EXPECT to be the top of the meters, and EXPECT to have guaranteed spots in raids, should have to fight for them, like everybody else. I'm tired of "LF 3 more DPS (mage/lock/hunter) for ". I'm tired of when people see Ret pallies, Arms warriors, and other "LOL L2RESPEC NOOB!" they automatically write them off as 2nd rate, and say "Nah, find a mage/lock/hunter".
It's things like this that can drive a humongous player base, or at least a fraction of it, to go try other games, or give up on MMO's altogether.
Blizzard, stop listening to all the pre-teens whining about OP Ret pallies, and start paying attention to the fact that you just brightened EVERY pally's day (with the exception of Holy...I mean...wtf mate?).

[1644] Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma: S100P Distinguishes Bile Duct Cancer from Cholangiocarcinoma Involving the Hepatic Hilum
F Pedica, L Bortesi, S Pachera, A Guglielmi, I Cataldo, M Chilosi, F Menestrina, G Martignoni, P Capelli. University of Verona, Verona, Italy; University of Verona, Negrar, Verona, Italy
Background: Cholangiocarcinomas (CC) are classified into intrahepatic, perihilar and distal CC. Based on the anatomical origin, perihilar CC have been further divided into hilar bile duct cancer (BDC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma involving the hepatic hilus (CCC). BDC is supposed to originate from the epithelium of the common hepatic, right or left hepatic duct, while CCC originates in the intrahepatic bile duct or bile ductules. BDC and CCC have not been immunophenotipically and biologically characterized until now. Recently S100P immunoexpression has been investigated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which is known to have morphological similarities to CC. We analyzed S100P expression in CC, focusing on perihilar CC, in particular on BDC and CCC, comparing also to other categories of CC, like intrahepatic and distal types. As controls we investigated hepatocarcinomas (HCC) and liver benign proliferations, such as focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), biliary adenomas and biliary hamartomas.
Design: We collected 74 cases of CC. As controls we analyzed 20 HCC, 10 FNH, 3 biliary adenomas and 5 biliary hamartomas. In particular, we analyzed 31 intrahepatic CC, 37 perihilar CC and 6 distal CC. Perihilar CC were subdivided into 27 BDC and 10 CCC. Immunohistochemistry was performed using S100P monoclonal antibody (clone 16, diluition 1:1000 BD Biosciences Pharmingen, San Diego) and it was evaluated semiquantitatively.
Results: In the normal liver tissue, hepatocytes and normal intrahepatic bile ducts were negative for S100P. Perihilar were positive in 68% of cases. Moreover, BDC were strongly positive in 85% (23/27 cases), while CCC in 20% of cases (2/10 cases). Positive immunoreactivity for S100P was identified in 100% distal CC, but only in 6% of intrahepatic CC. S100P was positive only in 1 of 20 HCC, while all benign proliferations did not express S100P.
Conclusions: S100P expression distinguishes BDC from CCC and their different immunophenotype may reflect a different biological origin. Moreover, intrahepatic CC and CCC have a similar expression of S100P, which may reflect possible biological similarities. Distinguishing these categories is important because they have different prognosis and distinct biological behaviour.

I'd like to add a protective coating to my dining room table. I have no idea what finish is on it now. I'm hoping I can just sand the surface a bit and then use Waterlox. It has a dark, almost black, stain and I don't want to sand so far that I would sand off the stain. Is this possible with Waterlox or any other durable finish? Right now I have to be very careful with moisture and heat or I will get a foggy spot on the finish. This is our everyday table so it needs to be easier to use. |

Many times, on this site, people ask what finish they can put on a piece of furniture so it will stand up to abuse. Some finishes are better than other as far as durability is concerned, but no finish will survive rough use. The proper way to protect a table is with a pad and tablecloth. If you don't have the money to purchase a custom made pad, you can make one out of something like an old mattress pad with a tablecloth over it. No finish will survive beverages, plates of food, homework and things like that. |
Thanks for your thoughts. I really don't want to use a table cloth on a daily basis. Many years ago I put what I think was a polyurethane finish on an unfinished birch table. I put about 6 coats. That table really held up to all kinds of abuse. I wiped it or scrubbed it down with a sponge every day. Now my son uses it for a desk. I'd like to have that kind of finish on my new (used) table. I would still use a trivet for very hot things but don't want to have to worry if someone sets a glass or coffee cup down. |
You answered your own question. |
Not quite. I guess my real question is - can I only lightly sand the surface so as not to remove any stain and still coat it with something (like polyurethane or Waterlox)and expect that it will adhere properly? |
- Posted by someone2010 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 30, 10 at 16:16
I would wash it down with warm water and soap, drying immediately so no water soaks in. Then wash it again with paint thinner and let it dry for a day. Then go over it with 0000 steel wood and vacuum clean and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Seal with dewaxed shellac. Sand lightly with 220 sandpaper. Another coat of shellac and light sanding if you think it needs it. Vacuum and wipe clean. Now apply your finish. |
I used fine steel wool then polyshades over a kitchen table about 15 years ago and still iron on it and do crafts and everything else around here that needs a flat serface. It has held up extemely well. I would no longer recommend that product because the formula seems to have changed but it does show that you can protect a surface to make it more user friendly. |

In one of the woodworking magazines, a few months ago, they tested and rated rub-on finishes for durability. Poly Shades came in first and Waterlox was second (close behind) in a field of about tweleve rub-on finishes. So there you are; steel wool, Waterlox, and you'll have the finish you desire. Too bad Poly Shades won't work any more. |
I don't think it was Poly Shades, but Minwax's wiping version of polyurethane was excellent for water resistance. So is the non-wiping version, Fast-Dry Polyurethane, which you can thin yourself to the application consistency you prefer. Waterlox also had excellent water resistance, but Waterlox is not going to be as abrasion-resistant as the polyurethane. I've used Minwax Polyurethane a lot, and it's very durable. I can't find it where I live any more, in SoCal. I agree with someone's prep, although I'd probably skip the shellac myself. Just make sure the surface is CLEAN and DULL. |

I would like to know more about the "wiping version" of polyurethane. I like to use polyurethane, but don't want the item I am using it on to look like it is encased in plastic. How does the wiping version work differently? Do you use regular old poly or do you look for something different?? Tuesday |
I used a wipe on Poly on my stair railings over unstained oak. It doesn't look at all like plastic. They just have a nice satin sheen. Maybe if I did many many layers it would eventually look like a plastic coating. Minwax makes a product that is called "wipe-on poly" |

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — Utility officials say a pigeon set off a chain reaction that cut off electrical power to some Rock Springs customers and kept the Rock Springs Rocket-Miner from printing Tuesday's edition.
The three-hour blackout ended at 11:37 p.m. Monday, too late for the next day's paper to be completed and printed.
Managing Editor Deb Holbert Sutton said the newspaper hoped to meet its deadlines, but it took longer than expected to restore power.
She says the newspaper regrets any inconvenience to readers.
The pigeon came in contact with electrical equipment about 30 yards from the newspaper's loading dock at about 8:30 p.m. Rocky Mountain Power, which supplies Rock Springs, says that triggered fuses and knocked out electricity to as many as 23 customers.

Barranquilla – ever warm spirited and festive – opens its doors for the entire world to be present at Barranquijazz 2009, a multiethnic event particularly close to the cultural wealth of the Caribbean.
Twelve years after a small group of jazz lovers decided to hold the first edition of Barranquijazz, the event has gathered so much importance that many people consider it the second carnival on account of the interest it awakens in Barranquilla's inhabitants and the numerous public that arrives to attend the concerts of this musical expression born in the United States, yet with a strong influence from African music.
Following the guidelines of previous editions, Version 13 brings a roster of excellent artists who will get together in various venues determined by its organizers, such as the Jumbo, the Amira and the kiosco del Amira, where the public can attend free of cost the event called Barranquijazz on the Street.
Musicians from Colombia and several countries in America and Europe will give their presentations of jazz and other fusions and subgenres such as Latin jazz.
Although the roster of artists is vast, the presence of the following deserves to be mentioned: Habana Report and Omara Potuondo from Cuba, Ahmad Jamal and the Yemajazz Project from the United States, Joao Bosco from Brazil, Rik Mol from Holand, and Colombian Samuel del Real.
Barranquijazz is a festival organized by the Fundación Cultural Nueva Música, whose directors pioneered this important cultural encounter between Colombia and the Caribbean.
Samuel Minski and Antonio Caballero are two of the creators who have made it possible for artists of the stature of Cucho Valdés, Diego El Cigala, Bob Berg, Papo Vasquez, and Horacio 'El Negro' Hernández to be part of the history of Barranquijazz.

'It's a racing certainty that Warned Off will offer a challenge to Dick Francis. It's packed with authentic dialogue and characters.' Today
'A very professional racing thriller ... lots of rough stuff, plenty of racing background and action all mixed up with a love interest combine to provide a fast-moving story.' Publishing News
'The plot is from the racing stockpot ... fast and violent.' The Times
Warned Off From Champion Jockey at 22 to down-and-out at 27, Eddie Malloy is bitter and desolate, reduced to living in an ancient caravan working for a tyrannical horse dealer. Estranged from his family and the sport he loves, Eddie cannot forget or forgive the racing authorities for believing false allegations of horse doping against him which robbed him of his riding licence.
With another miserable Christmas looming, Eddie's discovery of murder victim Danny Gordon in the racing capital of Newmarket offers him a perilous path to the resurrection of his career. He must balance that ultimate reward against the risk of becoming a victim of Gordon's ruthless killers.
Racing's own police are too afraid to take on these killers; for them Eddie Malloy is dispensable. They also know he can be tough and ruthless when fighting for what he believes in.
Eddie's alone in the world now, if he dies trying to get his life back, who will care?
Written by ex-top jockey and BBC commentator Richard Pitman and racing journalist Joe McNally, Warned Off is the first in the series of seven mystery crime thrillers by the duo.
Warned Off sees the debut of Eddie Malloy, who features in six more of Richard and Joe's novels. The book has been rewritten and moves along at an even faster pace now.
We hope you enjoy Warned Off which also contains an excerpt from book two in the Eddie Malloy series, Hunted.

With the 2007 World Cup approaching, the U.S. Women's National Team was on a winning streak. Continuing our successful collaboration, Nike asked Odopod to create a special feature on NikeSoccer.com to spotlight the team's story and connect with the soccer-obsessed girls who look up to Abby, Hope, Tarp and the rest of the team.
We took fans on "The Bus" with the WNT, showing soccer crazy girls that the Pro team's experience was a lot like their own. An intimate view into the team's fierce competitive spirit, personalities, and relationships, "The Bus" is a rich interactive experience within NikeSoccer.com that tells the players' stories using videos, photos, and text messages sent from the road.
In collaboration with Wieden & Kennedy we created more than 30 videos in three months, editing footage shot by our own crew, W+K, and U.S. Soccer. We even gave several of the players tiny HD cameras, getting inside glimpses of the women revealing their sacrifices, pre-game rituals and road trip antics.
While the WNT's amazing streak ended when they placed third at the world cup, the team graciously participated in the making of a final video, "Coming Home", which gives an honest look at the player's disappointment -- and their resilience.
These ladies are amazing athletes and role models to young girls. Telling their story is an honor.
It's been thirteen years since we started Odopod.
We've always wanted one thing: to do the best work of our lives. Along the way, we have been joined by an eclectic and exceptionally talented bunch of people who wanted the same thing. Together, we've built a company we love.
Two years ago, Odopod was acquired by Nurun.
The acquisition was a validation of everything we had built. It was also a catalyst for some big changes we wanted to make. We began to tackle bigger, thornier problems and to work all over the world. With Nurun, we've had a series of huge wins and have been producing our best work yet.
That's why we recently decided to retire the Odopod brand, formally adopt Nurun as our name, and take the reins of Nurun's US operations.
We're all still here—same team with the same appetite for great work, only now with different e-mail addresses and more frequent flyer miles. And we're growing, so send your talented friends our way.
Keep an eye out for new work from Nurun. It will be our best yet.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. | 1 Then the man brought me to the outer sanctuary and measured the jambs; the width of the jambs was six cubits on each side. |
2 And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits. | 2 The entrance was ten cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were five cubits wide. He also measured the outer sanctuary; it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. |
3 Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits. | 3 Then he went into the inner sanctuary and measured the jambs of the entrance; each was two cubits wide. The entrance was six cubits wide, and the projecting walls on each side of it were seven cubits wide. |
4 So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place. | 4 And he measured the length of the inner sanctuary; it was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits across the end of the outer sanctuary. He said to me, "This is the Most Holy Place." |
5 After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side. | 5 Then he measured the wall of the temple; it was six cubits thick, and each side room around the temple was four cubits wide. |
6 And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold , but they had not hold in the wall of the house. | 6 The side rooms were on three levels, one above another, thirty on each level. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports were not inserted into the wall of the temple. |
7 And there was an enlarging , and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. | 7 The side rooms all around the temple were wider at each successive level. The structure surrounding the temple was built in ascending stages, so that the rooms widened as one went upward. A stairway went up from the lowest floor to the top floor through the middle floor. |
8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. | 8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits. |
9 The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within. | 9 The outer wall of the side rooms was five cubits thick. The open area between the side rooms of the temple |
10 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. | 10 and the [ priests'] rooms was twenty cubits wide all around the temple. |
11 And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left , one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about. | 11 There were entrances to the side rooms from the open area, one on the north and another on the south; and the base adjoining the open area was five cubits wide all around. |
12 Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits. | 12 The building facing the temple courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits wide. The wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length was ninety cubits. |
13 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; | 13 Then he measured the temple; it was a hundred cubits long, and the temple courtyard and the building with its walls were also a hundred cubits long. |
14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. | 14 The width of the temple courtyard on the east, including the front of the temple, was a hundred cubits. |
15 And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court; | 15 Then he measured the length of the building facing the courtyard at the rear of the temple, including its galleries on each side; it was a hundred cubits. The outer sanctuary, the inner sanctuary and the portico facing the court, |
16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered ; | 16 as well as the thresholds and the narrow windows and galleries around the three of them--everything beyond and including the threshold was covered with wood. The floor, the wall up to the windows, and the windows were covered. |
17 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. | 17 In the space above the outside of the entrance to the inner sanctuary and on the walls at regular intervals all around the inner and outer sanctuary |
18 And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces; | 18 were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces: |
19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about. | 19 the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. They were carved all around the whole temple. |
20 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made , and on the wall of the temple. | 20 From the floor to the area above the entrance, cherubim and palm trees were carved on the wall of the outer sanctuary. |
21 The posts of the temple were squared , and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. | 21 The outer sanctuary had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was similar. |
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD. | 22 There was a wooden altar three cubits high and two cubits square; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." |
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. | 23 Both the outer sanctuary and the Most Holy Place had double doors. |
24 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. | 24 Each door had two leaves--two hinged leaves for each door. |
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without. | 25 And on the doors of the outer sanctuary were carved cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls, and there was a wooden overhang on the front of the portico. |
26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks. | 26 On the sidewalls of the portico were narrow windows with palm trees carved on each side. The side rooms of the temple also had overhangs. |
