As a small way of showing my gratefulness for my blogging friends, I am giving away a hat that I made. This is a newborn size girl hat. I realize that many of you do not have newborn girls, but you could save it or even give it as a gift if you wanted to. I will have another giveaway next week for a few hair flowers that I made. Maybe I'll make a boy hat after that. :)
I'm going to make this really simple. To be entered once, leave a comment on this post. For an extra entry, post about this giveaway on your blog or link to it on Facebook and then leave another comment letting me know that you have done so. The giveaway will end at midnight on Friday, November 25.
*The hat pictured above is not the exact hat that I am giving away. I sent the one in the picture to a friend, and the one for the giveaway is cream and blue. My camera is acting up though, and I can't seem to get a decent picture of it, so I posted the white and blue one. I used this tutorial to make the hat.

We enjoyed a short road trip to a local aquarium last weekend, thanks to Adam's sister and her family! We had a great time, as you can see from the pictures.
Abigail enjoyed impersonating a fish. :)

Just What I Needed
I had a bit of a rough start to my day yesterday and was pretty short on patience before we even had breakfast cleaned up. While I was waiting for my oldest two to complete a short math assignment, I hopped on the computer to check for blog updates. I found this post on Learning to Sympathize from Leading Little Hearts Home. It was pretty much exactly what I was needing to read. There are so many issues in parenting that I find hard to balance, and sympathy is no exception. I don't want to cater to whining or foster wimpy, self-centered countenances in my children. At the same time, however, I want them to know that I care about the things that concern them, many of which are a much bigger deal to them as children than they are to me as an adult. I remember, as a child, being upset over certain things that are silly and inconsequential to me now. I'm sure that my children experience many of the same thoughts and emotions that I did at their age. Below are a few excerpts from the blog post, and you can click on the link above if you'd like to read the rest of it.
I say that I am working at cultivating sympathy, because there are times when I do not feel it naturally. And there are plenty of times when I fail to be sympathetic.
Today I failed. I asked one of the girls to water our strawberries and when I looked outside she was watering a rock. A rock. In an area that I had spent quite a bit of time weeding just a few days before. A few inches over were the strawberries- as parched as ever. But that rock... well, it was getting all the attention. And I did not feel very sympathetic.
I hollered out the back door asking what she was doing and you know- I believe she had no idea why she was doing what she was doing. She was just experimenting. Making her own waterfall. And although she needed guidance- she also could've used a little sympathy.
Just as with other good habits, practice makes progress. I see the value in choosing to be sympathetic with our children's weaknesses and being the person they can trust with their failings and hurts.
The Lord helping me, I need create a habit of sympathy.I know that we worry about the implications of being overly sympathetic with our children- especially boys. If we sympathize with them when they are injured we fear that we will create whiny, wimpy children who run to Mama for every little offense, right? And isn't there a place to say "shake it off"? Absolutely there is.Once we know the scenario, we might need to ask our kiddos to stop crying or shake it off. Once we know the scenario...And I hope you realize that I am not suggesting that we should ever reward spoiled or demanding behavior or overlook disobedience. Not at all. Not ever. We cannot overlook issues and call it grace. That is not grace- it is negligence. But sympathy doesn't over look.Sympathy is a spirit needed in times of childish foolishness; when a child is struggling with temptation; in times of injury and when a child has failed and is in need of being restored.It is a sincere concern for our children's souls and creates a strength of character, not a wimpy character.Instead of a child needing to demonstrate how hurt they are for an ounce of attention, we let them know we are concerned and on their team right off the bat.When enter into their troubles and concerns, we win the opportunity to direct their hearts toward godliness and they will hear us when we let them know this is one of those times to shake it off.We can be too hands off- ignoring what is really happening- but we cannot be too sympathetic.

We have been enjoying a variety of soups lately since we've been having some nice crisp weather. Most of what I have made are old favorites like Garlic Vegetable Soup, Taco Soup, and Chicken Noodle Soup. I want to make some Baked Potato Soup soon, but this past week I tried Italian Sausage Minestrone, which turned out the be great! Adam really liked it and all of the children gobbled it up. I paired it with Buttermilk Oatmeal Muffins the first day, and today we just had some crackers along with the leftovers. The recipe calls for Italian sausage, but I used turkey sausage instead and omitted the pasta. I love pasta, but I just didn't think that this soup needed it. Oh, and I couldn't find cannellini beans, so I substituted baby lima beans instead. I think I'll just stick with that substitution next time and not bother with the other.
I have dropped the ball over the past few months with posting my weekly meal plans. To be perfectly honest, I have changed my strategy a bit. Instead of planning a whole month at a time, I usually do two weeks worth of meals and I do not assign them to specific days. It has cut out a bit of frustration for me since school sometimes takes longer than I anticipate, which gives me less time to spend on meal preparation. This way I have a list of possibilities to choose from depending on the amount of time I have that day. I really like to make freezer meals, but until this past weekend our deep freezer was still at our old house. I had forgotten how small those over-the-refrigerator freezers are! Since we have our large freezer again, I'm going to start filling it with meals for when after the baby arrives...less than 9 weeks now! Oh, who am I kidding. It will be at least 10 weeks!

31 Weeks!
Thanks to my 6yo photographer, Abigail. :)
I can't believe I'm 31 weeks already! It's hard to believe how fast the time is flying by. My pregnancies always seem to go so quickly once I hit 30 weeks, and I'm guessing that this time will be no exception since the time from Thanksgiving to New Year's goes by in a flash even when I'm not pregnant.
I've been feeling great! My varicose veins are an ever-present nuisance, but I'm thankful that they haven't bothered me too much this time around. They could certainly be a lot worse. My typical 3rd trimester massive weight gain has begun! I had gained 8 pounds at 24 weeks, and now at 30 weeks I've gained a total of 21 pounds. That would be 13 pounds in 7 weeks. :) Oh well. I'm not the least bit worried about it. I do hope to get myself into a more regular walking routine now that the weather has cooled off for good though. There are so many nice places to walk around here and the fresh air and exercise is good for all of us.

DescriptionThe Relation of My Imprisonment a work of fiction utilizing a form invented in the seventeenth century by imprisoned Puritan divines. Designed to be exemplary, works of this type were aimed at brethren outside the prison walls and functioned primarily as figurative dramatization of the test of fait all true believers must endure. These "relation," framed by scripture and by a sermon explicating the text, were usually read aloud in weekly or monthly installments during religious services. Utterly sincere and detailed recounting of suffering, they were nonetheless highly artificial. To use the form self-consciously, as Russell Banks has done, is not to parody it so much as to argue good-humoredly with the mind it embodies, to explore and, if possible, to map the limits of that mind, the more intelligently to love it. About the AuthorRussell Banks is a past president of the International Parliament of Writers and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His work has been translated into twenty languages and has received numerous awards, including the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. He lives in upstate New York and Miami, Florida. |

Hi Everyone. I am not new to GW, but have not been to the fruit and orchard section as I have no trees. We are interested in getting apple, peach, pear, and fig eventually, but were going to wait until next year. However, I was just at my local Home Depot and they have a ton of apple trees marked down extremely cheap. They look healthy, but I know this is not the ideal time to plant them. It is almost worth the risk as the cost is so cheap just to try, so I guess my questions are is there are reason we shouldn't? Is there anything we can do to make them take better to transplanting in late July/ early Aug when it is not ideal for them? |

most trees from the big box stores are in pots which can be planted any time. If it was me and I wanted what they had I would give it a try. Just make sure it is for your zone with the right chill hours. Good luck PS I am a sucker for a good deal. |
For me, it depends on how much land/space you have and how much you mind re. time investment. If you have plenty of space and do not mind planting an apple that may be mislabeled, go for it. Otherwise, I prefers knowing a rootstock and being sure a variety I plant is the correct one. I hate to wait 3-4 years (or more) to find out the "red" apple I planted was actually a "yellow" one, or worse, a pear!!! This goes with other fruit trees, too. |
Thank you both for responding. I actually have plenty of space and tend to can anything I can get ahold of so if something comes up I didn't plan on, I will find a use for it (plus I have kids that will eat applesauce anything). Thanks for the help, I think I will buy a few varieties and go for it. At $11 and $15 a tree I don't think I can go wrong. |
Do the trees pollinate each other? |
I've bought several trees from Lowe's when they put them on clearance. I bought them one year when it was too late to plant them in the ground so I kept them in the pots and planted them the following year. They are all doing great. I usually check with the garden manager and ask him when they will be getting rid of the unsold trees. He will then make me a great deal on them. I figure if they turn out to be a type I don't want I can always graft them. I usually pay between 5-6 a tree. |

The NetDEF team is attending IETF 90 in Toronto. Our OpenSourceRouting project is showing Quagga with Src/Dest routing using Homenet and IS-IS. If you are planning to attend, then please see our table at the Bits-N-Bytes on Thursday evening at the IETF
OpenSourceRouting to Exhibit at Open Networking Summit 2014
by admin •
OSR at ONS!
OpenSourceRouting will be exhibiting at Open Networking Summit 2014 from March 3rd-5th. OpenSourceRouting will be in booth A-8.
The demonstration will show a fully functional network design featuring Quagga running OSPF and BGP: Quagga is shown both as a pure software router using the underlining Linux kernel for forwarding on a standard PC and as a high-end distributed router with an OpenFlow based switch for forwarding.
Complete Network Setup:
Quagga as part of a distributed platform:
The RA Reference Controller running Vandervecken to control a Pica8 3280 switch using OpenFlow 1.3
Quagga as a software router:
This year OpenSourceRouting will celebrate it's 3rd year of being a part of the Open Network Summit. The first two years as a part of the RouteFlow project and this year as a stand alone presenter.
NetDEF Takes Ownership of The OpenSourceRouting Project
by admin •
The Network Device Education Foundation (NetDEF) recently took over ownership of the OpenSourceRouting (OSR) project started at ISC. With the project came the charter of sponsoring a maintainer, testing, developing and bug fixing for Quagga, an open source routing stack.
Martin Winter, co-founder of NetDEF recently gave an exclusive interview to Roy Chua of SDNCentral about OSR.
We at NetDEF are happy to have the opportunity to continue this important project.
Excerpt from the interview with SDNCentral:
Winter: Quagga is an open-source-licensed (GPLv2) routing stack. It is an implementation of IP routing protocols such as RIP, RIPng, OSPF and ISIS. I want to make the clear distinction of a routing stack compared to a full router implementation. For a full router, you need traffic forwarding and a routing stack. Quagga only implements the routing protocols. It can be run with Linux and can use the standard Linux kernel for forwarding (as software router), or it could be connected to a distributed forwarding platform using OpenFlow or any other open or proprietary interface (as a high-end distributed router). It could also be used just for the routing protocols to interface with off-the shelf routers to receive and announce routes.
Quagga evolved out of the Zebra routing code approximately 10 years ago. Zebra, as a public project, is abandoned, but it continues as a commercial solution with IP Infusion as ZebOS.
NetDEF Keeps Moving Forward
by admin •
We have not had a lot to say recently as all of our time has been concentrated on finalizing the corporation and raising funds. While we would like to be able to update everyone on our progress, it is still too early. We expect to launch sometime before October 27th, 2013, the 6 month anniversary of the official founding of the Network Device Education Foundation, Inc.
We currently have two projects that we are working with:
The Router Analysis project, where we will be taking over the content and work that Router Analysis has been doing and continuing it under the NetDEF non-profit organization.
An unannounced open source project that will be our main focus at this time.
We thank you for following along on our journey. If you would like to be involved you can send us email, drop us a note on this site, or meet with one of us at events worldwide such as the Asian Peering Forum, starting next week (the 19th of September), RIPE (middle of October) or NANOG (beginning of October).
At any event, or if you see us around, you can grab either Me, Steven Noble or Martin Winter and strike up a conversation.
Martin Winter at RIPE 66 – BoF/WG OpenSource
by admin •
Martin Winter one of the original board members and founders of The Network Device Education Foundation will be talking about OpenSource projects and starting a Working Group for OpenSource at RIPE 66 in Dublin Ireland.
Feel free to talk to him about any OpenSource projects. Funding questions, struggles you are having, etc. are all good topics. We at NetDEF are looking to support the OpenSource community and educate the general public about OpenSource projects.
NetDEF Donates a Pica8 Switch To The CPqD RouteFlow Project
by admin •
On Feburary 5th, 2013, NetDEF via Router Analysis donated a Pica8 3290 switch to CPqD Center for Research and Development in Telecommunications in Brazil. The 3920 will be used to test upcoming versions of the RouteFlow project.

I purchased the tree at the end of August from a local nursery, it was wrapped in burlap and laid in the back of a truck for transport to my house. It was healthy and full when it first arrived. I was advised to delay re-potting from the nursery pot and not to fertilize until the tree was acclimated to its new environment. The first week it dropped a handful of leaves, and then for months slowly and steadily kept dropping more. The branches that are bare are very brittle and now there are only a handful of leaves left on one branch (as you can see from the photo)! I've read that it should not be over watered, so I wait until the soil is dry. It still has not been fertilized. There are also some brown spots on the leaves that appeared when my brother was house sitting for us over Christmas. These have improved slightly since, but are still there. Is there anything that I can do? Help! Thank you all in advance! |

I would contact the nursery, it looks almost dead to me, see if they will replace it for you |
I will call them and ask. Do you think there any chance that it can regrow the leaves? |
- Posted by christine1950 5a (My Page) on Sat, Mar 2, 13 at 16:11
If the branches are as brittle as you say, that's not good. See what the nursery has to say. I'm sure others here will have some advice for you too. |
Thanks so much for your help! |

The Burris Dossier
Chicago Public radio station WBEZ has posted Illinois Senate appointee Roland Burris's letter of appointment from Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the letter confirming the appointment's authenticity from Secretary of State Dexter White. This follows the Illinois Supreme Court's ruling that despite the governor's legal troubles--federal indictment, impeachment, etc.--the appointment was valid. Recent reports suggest that this should satisfy the Senate although new legal developments could slow seemingly inevitable Burris' effort to be promptly seated.
This being the blog of a law librarian, not "an old trial lawyer," here are links to all the legal documents cited so far in this curious case:
1. The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution.
"When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of each State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct."
2. Standing Rules of the Senate, Rule II: Presentation of Credentials and Questions of Privilege
"II. 2. The Secretary shall keep a record of the certificates of election and certificates of appointment of Senators by entering in a wellbound book kept for that purpose the date of the election or appointment, the name of the person elected or appointed, the date of the certificate, the name of the governor and the secretary of state signing and countersigning the same, and the State from which such Senator is elected or appointed."
3. Illinois Code. United States Senators. 10 ILCS 5/25-8.
"When a vacancy shall occur in the office of United States Senator from this state, the Governor shall make temporary appointment to fill such vacancy until the next election of representatives in Congress, at which time such vacancy shall be filled by election, and the senator so elected shall take office as soon thereafter as he shall receive his certificate of election."
4. Ill. Const. 1970, art. V, §16.
"The Secretary of State shall maintain the official records of the acts of the General Assembly and such official records of the Executive Branch as provided by law. Such official records shall be available for inspection by the public. He shall keep the Great Seal of the State of Illinois and perform other duties that may be prescribed by law."
5. Illinois Code. Secretary of State Act. 15 ILCS 305/5
"[i]t shall be the duty of the Secretary of State:
1. To countersign and affix the seal of state to all commissions required by law to be issued by the Governor.
2. To make a register of all appointments by the Governor, specifying the person appointed, the office conferred, the date of the appointment, the date when bond or oath is taken and the date filed. If [State] Senate confirmation is required, the date of the confirmation shall be included in the register."
6. Burris v. White, Supreme Court of Illinois, No. 107816 (01/09/2009)
"Because the Secretary of State had no duty under section 5(1) of the Secretary of State Act (15 ILCS 305/5(1) (West 2006)) to sign and affix the state seal to the document issued by the Governor appointing Roland Burris to the United States Senate, Petitioners are not entitled to an order from this court requiring the Secretary to perform those Acts. Under the Secretary of State Act, the Secretary's sole responsibility was to register the appointment (15 ILCS 305/5(2) (West 2006)), which he did. No further action is required by the Secretary of State or any other official to make the Governor's appointment of Roland Burris to the United States Senate valid under Illinois law."

Nakba Demonstration in Los Angeles, California
May 24, 2012 by TMO
By Susan Schwartz, TMO
Of all the crimes against humanity committed in the last century and continuing into this one, it would be difficult to surpass the injustice and cruelty of the Nakba. Nakba is the Arabic word for catastrophe and can only begin to describe the deliberate and immoral ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs as they were forced from their homeland and their villages systematically destroyed.
Solemn demonstrators commemorated the 64th anniversary of the Nakba in Los Angeles this past week. The event took place in front of the Israeli Consulate on one of the city's main thoroughfares. Motorists throughout the demonstration would frequently honk their horns in a gesture of solidarity.
The protestors carried signs which read: "The Key to Peace = The Right to Return"; "No Justice – No Peace", and "No $$$ for Israeli Apartheid".
Chants included: "Stop the Killing, Stop the Hate: Israel is a Terrorist State"; "Long Live the Intifada", and "Free Free Palestine".
One protestor carried a poster showing graphic pictures of grievously injured children in Gaza. A passerby said "It is hard to believe anyone would do these things to children".
During one particularly poignant part of the demonstration, a few of the participants read aloud the names of Palestinian cities destroyed by the Israelis in 1948. The population of each city and the exact date of the destruction were read and often punctuated with the shout – in the direction of the embassy – "Shame on you, Zionists".
The demonstration was planned by AL AWDA Los Angeles/Orange County. Sponsors included: The Palestine American Women's Association (PAWA); Almoubadara (USA); Jewish Voice for Peace -LA; American Muslims for Palestine; Israeli Divestment Campaign -Southern California; Dump Veolia -LA; Palestinian American Congress; Boycott-Divestment-Sanction-LA; Women in Black-LA, and Union of Palestinian American Women.
Al-Awda, the Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, "affirms that the Palestinian Arab people, regardless of their religious affiliation, are indigenous to Palestine. Therefore, they are entitled to live anywhere in Palestine which encompasses present-day "Israel", the West bank and Gaza Strip."
Al-Awda cites the racist and exclusionary character of "Israel".
Al-Awda works to educate the public about "Israeli" injustices; to end all US aid to "Israel", to support boycott, divestment and sanctions vis a vis Israel; the Right to Return for all Palestinian refugees together with full restitution, and the formation of an independent, democratic state for all its citizens in all of Palestine.

Caboki? Free Shipping? Yep, it's one of the things I love the most about shopping online. If you do it right, you can shop from the comfort of your own home and have the products arrive right on your doorstep and NOT PAY FOR SHIPPING! But I digress... Here's the Caboki I've been talking about. Share your thoughts in the guest book below.
Caboki Hair Loss Concealer (75-Day Supply)Check Price Now!
Toppik Spray ApplicatorCheck Price Now!
Toppik Hairline Optimizer (2 Pack)Check Price Now!
Check Price Now! Caboki Hair Loss Concealer (75-Day Supply) Before you commit to buying Caboki or any product like it you should know the following. Informed shoppers are happy shoppers. We likes them! 1. It's useless if you are bald (or have a buzz cut). Yes, you have to have SOME hair for it to be effective or you'll just look like you painted your head. No one wants that. 2. You've got to put it on fresh every day. So this means washing and drying your hair each morning (or when ever you get up). 3. It takes some time to get good at putting it on like the folks in the video. Early on it might take you 10 min to put it on and clean yourself up (sloppy is as sloppy does after all). You'd think this would be obvious but you'd be surprised at how many folks get upset because they aren't good at it the first time. You have been warned. 4. You should use some hair spray after application to help it stay put. 5. IMPORTANT INTELL for you white collar guys out there! It can flake off a bit (kinda like dandruff) so when you visit the rest room be prepared to dust off your collar and shoulders. 6. Do NOT Comb your hair after application or you'll brush it off and have to start all over! 7. Do NOT let anyone run their fingers thru your hair while wearing Caboki. It WILL stick to fingers. Sorry, fellas, you gotta tell her to keep her hands to herself LOL 8. I've heard that you shouldn't sleep with Caboki or any similar product on your head. It can be suffocating to your scalp and lead to blocked pores or even weaken your existing hair folicles. NOT what you want to be doing if you have a thin spot to begin with. So brush or wash it out before bed, OK? 9. It's not good to have rain splashing on your head while wearing this product 10. Oh, and Hats can rub it off so you'll have to decide how important that baseball cap is to you.

The Broadmoor Academy brought in luminaries from across the country, both as teachers and students, and these immigrants bolstered the scene that was already there. The successor to the Broadmoor Academy was the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, opened in 1936 and still there in its John Gaw Meem masterpiece building.
Meem pulled out all the stops in creating the CSFAC, incorporating custom-made details in furniture, metalwork, synthetic stone, concrete and plaster. To top it off, he had spectacular murals created to decorate the interior and exterior walls. Surely the most elegant of these is "Running Horses," by Frank Mechau, who was on the faculty of the center and completed the piece in 1937. It is unquestionably one of the greatest works of art anywhere in the state.
The mural was painted on a horizontal frieze that runs above the glass-and-metal curtain wall on the outside of the building, facing the courtyard. It depicts running horses, an appropriately Western theme, but Mechau was a modernist, so he gave the familiar subject a twist or two. The horses were painted in different colors -- ones that aren't completely natural -- and were abstracted, with the figures flattened and most of the anatomical details left off. The animals are lined up in the tight space of the horizontal frieze, but Mechau introduces the illusion of depth by weaving them in and out.
The one other public Mechau mural in the area is in the Western History/Genealogy department of the Denver Public Library's Central location. "Horses at Night," done in 1934, is intimately related to the later "Running Horses," though it's only a fraction of the size.
I've always thought that "Running Horses" and "Horses at Night" were teasers for Mechau's career, because his stuff is so scarce, you rarely see anything else. I've long been interested in the art of our region and have taken in dozens of exhibits on the theme, but with the exception of some small drawings, Mechau has mostly been a no-show. I've almost never seen a piece by him for sale in a gallery -- not that I could afford one if I did.
Now, at long last, the pent-up desire to see more of his work is being satisfied. An in-depth exhibition of Mechau's oeuvre is on display in the Central Library, just a couple of floors above "Horses at Night." On the seventh level, in the Vida Ellison Gallery and adjacent corridors, is the riveting Shooting Star: The Artwork of Frank Mechau (1904-1946). This is the library's major art offering for the summer, and it's a worthy followup to the John Edward Thompson retrospective presented a few months ago. Like that outing, the Mechau extravaganza is part of an ongoing series of well-researched exhibits examining the region's rich art history.
A careful reading of Shooting Star's credit lines explains why Mechau's work is so rarely seen: His descendants have held on to as much as they could. Star includes loans from his widow, Paula, and his children, Vanni Lowdenslager, Dorik Mechau, Duna Stephens and, most notably, Michael Mechau, the keeper of the flame for his father's work and the principal impetus behind the display.
The Denver Public Library, which has an extensive collection of its own, has been showcasing local art for more than a hundred years, and though the Mechau exhibit might seem more appropriate in a venue such as the Denver Art Museum or the Colorado History Museum, the DPL can lay its own legitimate claim. For the past several years, these DPL shows have been coordinated and facilitated by Kay Wisnia, who works in the Western History department. Amazingly, Wisnia has been able to put them together while still completing her duties as a full-time librarian. In the process, not only has she distinguished herself as a complete pro, but she's gained the heartfelt respect of her peers in the art world.
It is difficult to hang a show in the Ellison Gallery, because there's hardly any wall space, with a big opening for the entrance and windows and doors lining the opposite wall. Architect Michael Graves was obviously more concerned with taking advantage of the view of the Civic Center than in providing proper exhibition space. As a result, the corridors are often drafted into service, making it nearly impossible to display works in chronological order. To solve this problem for Shooting Star, Wisnia put Mechau's earliest pieces in the gallery proper, with drawings hung in one corridor and paintings in the other.
Mechau was born in Kansas in 1904, but he moved with his family to Glenwood Springs when he was just a small child. He showed an early interest in art and was also a serious athlete. In 1922 he was awarded a one-year boxing scholarship to the University of Denver, where he studied art history. Around the same time, he also studied at the long-gone Denver Art Academy. In 1924 he attended the Art Institute of Chicago, but its formal, traditional program didn't sit well with him; he dropped out in 1925 and returned to Glenwood.

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then Iyov answered the LORD, | 1 Then Job replied to the LORD: |
2 "I know that you can do all things, And that no purpose of yours can be restrained. | 2 "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. |
3 You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I didn't know. | 3 [You asked,] 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. |
4 You said, 'Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.' | 4 ["You said,] 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.' |
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees you. | 5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. |
6 Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes." | 6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." |
7 It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Iyov, the LORD said to Elifaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Iyov has. | 7 After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. |
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Iyov, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Iyov shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Iyov has." | 8 So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." |
9 So Elifaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Tzofar the Na`amatite went, and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Iyov. | 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job's prayer. |
10 The LORD turned the captivity of Iyov, when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Iyov twice as much as he had before. | 10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. |
11 Then came there to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold. | 11 All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. |
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Iyov more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. | 12 The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. |
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. | 13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters. |
14 He called the name of the first, Yemimah; and the name of the second, Ketzi`a; and the name of the third, Keren-Happukh. | 14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. |
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Iyov. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers. | 15 Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers. |
16 After this Iyov lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, to four generations. | 16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. |
17 So Iyov died, being old and full of days. | 17 And so he died, old and full of years. |

I was wondering how some of you grow your nepenthes. How do you maintain humidity at all? Do you use a humidifier? Do you use misters? Any info would be great, thanks. From what I understand nepenthes will not grow in low humdity, is this true? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Also, what are some of the ways that the temperature is decreased each night for the highland variety? |

Hi dranomax, I grow my nepenthes as windowsill plants and they seem to enjoy that. I only mist it about once a week and sometimes if I skip a few times, they don't seem to notice.The average temperature drop for easy to grow nepenthes is about 8 degrees.Cool nights are helpful, but not neccesary.So humidty is not a neccecity for most.Your nepenthes might grow differently, but that's how I grow mine. - Adrian |
Mine go outside in the spring once it's warm enough, plenty humid outside. In fall-winter they are in south and west windows and I run a humidifier late afternoon and evenings once the heat needs to be turned on in the hosue. They do just fine. |
I sit my pots inside a 10 gallon aquarium that has a layer of distilled water in the bottom. I partly cover the aquarium with plastic wrap (Saran wrap) to increase the humidity and prevent the water from evaporating too fast, and keep the whole set up under fluorescent lights (4-40W tubes). The pots that hold the Nepenthes themselves do not have drainage holes, since I like to let the pots cycle from quite wet to just moist, as I read the roots will rot if constantly saturated (as they would be from the standing water in the aquarium if the pots had drainage holes). -Don |
Hmm these are good ideas thanks! |

I grow mine as a potted houseplant, no terrarium, no cover, just misted once a day in the morning. Many Nepenthes can adapt to low humidity just fine. The common easy growers would be N. sanguinea, N. ventrata, N. alata, N. ventricosa, and others. Only a few are very difficult to grow in low humidity and without temperature variations. |
Would pure water in the bottom of the terrarium with the pots set in create more humidity than soaked peat moss with the pots sitting in/on that? Just wondering because maybe the moss would capture the heat of the lamps better and promote more evaporation. |
I have a miranda in a hanging basket that is in a west facing window. Humidity usually stays above 50 in the summer, and in the winter when it dips I do run a humidifier in that room, but only when it's below 50. It gets supplemental lighting all day since in the summer we close those blinds a lot. It gets HOT in that room if we don't! I do have two smaller plants, a ventricosa and a maxima that are in my 75 gallon terrarium until they get a little bigger, then they'll come out. |

I have a friend (elgecko) who has an N. hamata and ventrata in hanging baskets in his kitche, near his porch windows. He also has a humidity gauge in the room. It was reading 35% when I was visiting and his Neps are incredibly healthy. |
Hey Scott, what's up? I no longer have the N. ventrata in the kitchen. Nepenthes ampullaria So far with my experience Nepenthes are a lot tougher then they are given credit for. My conditions for growing my neps as windowsill plants are like this: Since I grow my Nepenthes inside as windowsill plants, what I do for feeding is when a new pitchers opens up, I will place a mealworm in it. I just drop the mealworm in the pitcher and give the pitcher a little shake. Something else that I have tried is to use fish food pellets. I was first worried about mold and fungus, but that has not been a problem. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Nepenthes page

Hi elgecko, I would like to see a pic of your N. rajah, I always wanted one. |
- Posted by mutant_hybrid (My Page) on Sat, Oct 13, 07 at 2:31
Elgecko, Yeah, Nepenthes produce benzoic acid as part of the pitcher fluid.. that acid inhibits mold and bacteria growth. If you see a large prey item fall in the pitcher, like an Oriental cockroach, the part that is submerged will remain mold free while the part that is not submerged will grow mold. When that happens, just shake the pitcher and tip it to wet the rest of insect with pitcher fluid and it will kill the mold in the short term for a couple of days. Pretty neat huh? |
Nice web site elgecko! |

I grow my Amppurilla (not sure if it's spelled right) under or rather near a 600 watt hps light in a decently big room with the temp at a steady 84 and the humidity at a not so good 55 all the time. I got it shipped from Petflytrap.com and arrived on time and had no damage. i immediatly potted it and has been fine ever since. is it ok to grow in Spagnum peat moss alone? i keep it watered well. waitin for a reply,,,,, |
I got a Nepenthes at Lowe's in the fall and it's living in a terrarium for now. I plan on moving it outside in the summer. It's growing very well, with humidity usually around 50%, although it drops down to 35% or so sometimes. Which is still really humid as far as I'm concerned (I get whiny at 25%). It's giving me tons of new leaves and has probably more than doubled in size since I got it, but it's not making any pitchers. I read that high humidity helps them pitcher, but now that I've read this post, I guess not. I'm thinking my plant just doesn't like me. But at least I can joke about my plant being anorexic because it's not eating anything. There's a layer of water on the bottom of the tank, with peat moss and live sphagnum on top. I put a tray of water by Nepenthes to try to get it more humid, but it hasn't helped too much. I give it a little sprinkling of water (I like to pretend it's raining) every day, which seems to keep the humidity higher. |
I think your hygrometer is broken. I get 75-95% inside my terrariums and plants pitcher like crazy. 35-50% can be achieved without an enclosure but plants don't pitcher as well. Some won't pitcher at all without the right combo of light and humidity. Light is most important for most to pitcher well. |
It is a fairly cheap hygrometer, but I did some "tests" with it. I stuck it in a plastic container with water and then let it sit in the sun and it showed near 100% when I did that. And when it just sat in the house, it dropped to 10% or so. But maybe the light isn't intense enough. Towards the end of May, I'll have him outside, so maybe that will help, although it's not going to be very humid out there. |

Have you ever played a game against someone who's really good? Well, you've probably never had to play against your own brain! In Color Dash Racer, the names of colors pop up in the middle of the racetrack as cars speed around the outside. Your job is to touch the racecar that is the same color as the one spelled out in the middle. So if the word "Yellow" pops up, but it's colored green, you still have to pick "Yellow" to score a point. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! Your brain instinctively wants to pick the actual color of the word instead of the color it says.
Once you think you've mastered it on "Easy" mode, try the two harder difficulties where the cars are going faster, requiring quicker and quicker hand-eye coordination. Can you pick the color AND keep up with the cars?

Consequences of nitrate leaching following stem-only harvesting of Swedish forests are dependent on spatial scale.
Summary of "Consequences of nitrate leaching following stem-only harvesting of Swedish forests are dependent on spatial scale."
Short-term increases in soil solution nitrate (NO(3)(-)) concentration are often observed after forest harvest, even in N-limited systems. We model NO(3)(-) leaching below the rooting zone as a function of site productivity. Using national forest inventories and published estimates of N attenuation in rivers and the riparian zone, we estimate effects of stem-only harvesting on NO(3)(-) leaching to groundwater, surface waters and the marine environment. Stem-only harvesting is a minor contributor to NO(3)(-) pollution of Swedish waters. Effects in surface waters are rapidly diluted downstream, but can be locally important for shallow well-waters as well as for the total amount of N reaching the sea. Harvesting adds approximately 8 Gg NO(3)-N to soil waters in Sweden, with local concentrations up to 7 mg NO(3)-N l(-1). Of that, ∼3.3 Gg reaches the marine environment. This is ∼3% of the overall Swedish N load to the Baltic.

Delicately divine WoW-themed clay creations by Euphyley
When I laid eyes on the sculpture shown above, I was immediately impressed with the attention to detail in the lovely reproduction of the Ashes of Al'ar. Sure, I've tried my hand at crafting various things with clay over the years, but I've never done anything quite that technical. It turns out Euphyley, the sculptor who submitted the image above, has a whole host of gorgeous clay crafts she's created over the years.
From reproductions of mounts and pets to WoW-themed keychains and more, Euphyley's got a talent for small-scale sculpture that has to be seen to be believed. And when presented with an opportunity to interview her, how could I resist? Check out the gallery for more of Euphyley's work, and read on for some words from Euphyley herself.

Wildacres is located off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Little Switzerland, North Carolina, near Asheville.
Each summer the GCAR (Greater Carolinas Association of Rabbis) sponsors a rabbinic kallah featuring an outstanding Jewish scholar for a six-day rabbinic seminar attended by Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Reform, and Traditional rabbis and their families. In the magnificent setting of western North Carolina, we join together for study, prayer, discussion, debate, relaxation, and camaraderie. Rabbis and family members come from towns and congregations ranging from very small to very large, and from as far away as Florida and Canada. We enjoy the seminars, kosher cuisine and egalitarian minyanim, and joyously observe Shabbat together. The program includes arts and crafts for family members and entertainment every evening.

Health promotion is defined as a process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants. The primary means of health promotion occur through developing healthy public policy that addresses the prerequisites of health such as income, housing, food security, employment, education, and quality working conditions. More recent work has used the term Health in All Policies to refer to the actions to incorporate health into all public policies.
This idea is put into practice using participatory approaches; individuals, organizations, communities, and institutions working together to create conditions that assure health and well-being for all. In its simplest terms, health promotion fosters changes in the environment that help promote and protect health. These include changes in communities and systems—for instance, programs that assure access to health services or policies that arrange for public parks for physical activity and spending time with others. Health promotion involves a particular way of working together. It is population-based, participatory, intersectoral, sensitive to context, and multi-level.

Cover Girl's Queen Collection lipsticks are really great. They're creamy, pigmented and there is a vibrant array of colors not found elsewhere in the CG line. I am not a woman of color, but I gravitate toward lines like CG Queen because of the rich colors. I have medium skin tone and brown hair and brown eyes and have Tawny Port and Burgendelicious. Tawny Port is a very wearable brick red.... perfect for anyone who wants to wear red but not an in-your-face red. Burgendelicious is a deep metallic plum. Both are very flattering. I also like the packaging. It comes in a sleek, square metallic brown tube and looks super classy. The bottom has a color cube thing so you can see the color.

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 Little Ponyo!
Facts about Little Ponyo
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Little Ponyo's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Little Ponyo (born 06/14/2012) was named after her mother. She looks so much like her and has the same sweet temperament and mannerisms. She also LOVES ham. Adoption donation of $50 covers her vet costs.
Other Pets at Loving Paws Adoption Center/ Pulaski County Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Little Ponyo, a Crocker Calico kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Crocker, or seeking a Calico kitten from a breeder in Crocker.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crocker 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 Crocker 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 Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crocker paves the way for another one to be saved.

or- Think the £100 cashback claim in the title is a bit confusing, this seems to only apply if you buy another Samsung product within 28 days of the TV. I think you'd only get £100 cashback if the second items is £100 or over so the TV price stays the same :(

The cashback is if you buy any Samsung products for up to the value of £100 and it does not need to be over £100 to get it. Useful if you get the extra 3D glasses and the Smart TV Keyboard or put it towards a soundbar.
This TV really is awesome and with a total of £350 off the regular price plus £100 Samsung cashback offer is a real bargain. I sell loads of them and it is so easy when people see the great picture in 2D and 3D, plus the great smart tv features it has.

Stonesoup is a blog about helping you make simple meals. It's about meals that taste
good, use healthy whole ingredients and can be made (mostly) in minutes.
Most recipes are quick and easy and only require 5 to 10 ingredients.
We are featuring a delicious easter treat this week! A great one to try with the kids on the weekend.
Fudgy 5-Ingredient Chocolate Cake
This cake is gluten free, dense and fudgy, yet at the same time it's light and lovely.
This will make enough for 6 or possibly 8 if everyone is feeling virtuous.
100g (3.5oz) butter
200g (7oz) 70% cocoa solids chocolate, chopped into chunks
4 eggs
100g (3.5oz) caster sugar
100g (3.5oz) almond meal
1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Melt butter and grease a 20cm springform cake tin.
2. Add chocolate chunks to the hot butter and allow to stand off the heat.
3. Meanwhile, separate eggs. Whisk whites with a pinch of salt until white and foamy and the volume doesn't seem to be increasing any more.
4. Gently scatter in the sugar and keep whisking eggs for a minute or so. Then attend to the chocolate mixture.
5. Stir the melted chocolate and butter together. Add egg yolks. Stir. Add nuts. Stir.
6. Gently combine chocolate mixture with egg white mixture. Transfer to your prepared cake tin.
7. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top feels firm with a springy mass underneath. Cool on a wire rack.
sugar-free – use 85% cocoa solids chocolate and replace the caster sugar with erythritol or a commercial erythritol / stevia blend like Natvia.
'easter' cake – serve with a 'nest' of marscapone on top and pile on a heap of little chocolate Easter eggs – I used a mixture of white, milk and dark chocolate eggs.
different nuts – I often use hazelnuts or pecans instead of the almond meal. Most nuts will work well here.

The Eagles would like to give you an early Christmas gift. No, it'll be nothing like the tire iron my dad once bought my mom for Christmas because she recently had a flat (seriously). It'll be more like a pool filled with gold. So please accept this gift bestowed upon you by the Eagles defense, and start Tony Romo this week.
Despite Romo's highly appealing matchup, there's an intriguing and difficult Romo question that's kicks off this week's tweetbag. So let's dig in, and rip open our digital bag 0′ fun. As always, I tried to answer most of your questions, but couldn't get to all of them. Keep firing away every week, and I'll fire back. Together, we might learn something. Maybe.
Damn, thanks for starting us off with an easy one, Zac. Actually, I guess I choose the order of these questions, but I'm still blaming you.
In one corner we have Matthew Stafford, who may be inconsistent, but he's coming off a week when he finished fifth among all QBs in fantasy points, earning 25 points while throwing for 441 yards and two touchdowns against the Texans. Yes, the overtime helped to inflate those numbers, as did the absence of Johnathan Joseph. But he was still opposing a fierce pass rush led by J.J. Watt and his 14.5 sacks, and even without Joseph the Texans still have a decent secondary featuring Daniel Manning. So this was no slouch performance by Stafford, and most importantly it also featured the emergence of his receiving toy Ryan Broyles, who averaged 21 yards per catch on six receptions, and 126 receiving yards overall. Stafford's matchup is highly appealing this week too, as he'll face a Colts secondary that's allowing nearly two passing touchdowns per game.
But what of Tony Romo? Welp, as much as he's often despised in reality, he's still a pretty chill guy in fantasy. And he's hot too, and I only mean that in reference to his production (not that there's anything wrong with that). Sure, Stafford looked like the 2011 Stafford last week, giving zero shits while chucking from his back foot and finishing with all of the passing yards. But Romo was better, logging 27 fantasy points against the Redskins while also passing for 441 yards.
Can you play both? No? Alright then. It'll be painful to bench Stafford, and it'll result in highly unhealthy levels of sleep. But Romo's matchup against an Eagles team that's been torn to pieces by injuries and general incompetence is just far too attractive. The Eagles were horrific Monday against the Panthers, blowing basic high school-level assignments while allowing Cam Newton to be, yes, better than both Stafford and Romo, and be the highest fantasy point producer at the position in Week 12 with 37 points. Newton has had two games this year with less than 10 points, and his output last week against the Eagles was significantly higher than his weekly season average of only 18 points.
Remember, this is also a defense that's one week removed from allowing Robert Griffin III to finish with a perfect passer rating. As good as Stafford's matchup is, Romo's is better, especially with Jason Babin gone now too.
We hear your screams, Newton owners, though again, you were soothed by the healing powers of the Eagles defense. You should still befriend patience, though, especially this week.
Newton draws the Chiefs, a team that's generally terrible in nearly every aspect of football except one, sort of: defending balls thrown in the air. The Chiefs are OK against the pass, a mark they fail to reach in all other categories, as they allow an average of 219.9 passing yards per game. That's the discouraging part of the various numbers beside the Chiefs' secondary this year, but here's a highly encouraging number: 22 touchdowns. That's how many scores Brandon Flowers et al have allowed, the league's second worst total.
So that scoring rate is highly in Newton's favor, which brings us to the numbers that are highly against Luck. He's been brilliant, but he's been significantly less brilliant on the road, and Indy's game this Sunday takes place at Ford Field. Of Luck's 13 interceptions, 10 of them have come during the Colts' five road games. For leagues that subtract two points for picks (which is most leagues), that could bring some serious pain.
Start Newton with confidence.
It seems the denizens of Fantasyland are especially concerned about the flex spot this week, so let's hit up a few of these stressing flex questions. As you'll see below, it looks like Knowshon Moreno and Beanie Wells are the epicenter of the decision-making difficulty. Mitch here has done us one better by owning both Moreno and Wells. You guys just hate easy decisions this week, huh?
I've developed a serious man crush on Moreno, and I have no shame in admitting that publicly. However, as I wrote earlier this week, those who spent their waiver priority on Moreno this week (which predictably was many of you, as his ownership increased 33.8 percentage in ESPN leagues) need to go through one week of awful before you're able to ride some great matchups throughout the rest of the season. That's because in Week 13 he'll face the Buccaneers, a team that boasts a group of linebackers with quick sideline-to-sideline ability who are the core of the league's best run defense (Tampa's allowing only 81.5 yards per game).
What does that mean for you this week, the proud new Moreno owner? If you can (and, well, most of you can), avoid him, and slot in anyone else. Anyone at all, and Wells is a fine option against the Jets. Ryan Lindley is still in the process of getting destroyed while learning how to be an NFL quarterback, so in his second game after scoring twice last week Wells could see his touches increase while he's leaned on heavily.
The many words above still apply to Moreno, but you've introduced another fun name, Kris. Pierre Garcon, who still moonlights as a Canadian lacrosse goalie.
Williams is a viable option for many owners in many leagues at the flex spot since he's in sole possession of the starting running back role in Carolina this week with Jonathan Stewart out, although Mike Tolbert will still receive his slice of carry pie, a holiday favorite. Williams has a fine matchup against the Chiefs too, but of the four names dropped here, for me Garcon easily gets the nod.
The Redskins draw the Giants on Monday night this week, a team that dominated Aaron Rodgers this past Sunday, but they did it primarily through quarterback pressure with five sacks. They still have a weak secondary, and one that allowed Robert Griffin III to complete 71.3 percent of his passes in Week 7 at a pace of 9.2 yards per attempt. That's when he didn't have Garcon, his favorite target who has a combined 195 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the two games this year that he's played at full health (Weeks 1 and 12). Those games also include two catches for over 50 yards.
If Garcon can post 86 yards at a pace of 21.5 per catch against Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, he'll be pretty, pretty good against the Giants.
All Shorts all day.
Shorts owners, if you haven't developed a Moreno-level man crush (again, embrace it) on a wide receiver who could be the best waiver wire pickup of the year, you need to start the love-in now. Shorts now has a competent quarterback in Chad Henne, and since he started to receive significantly more targets following the Jaguars' Week 6 bye (3.8 per game prior to the bye, and 8.6 after) his production has absolutely skyrocketed along with that usage.
He's averaged 90.3 yards per game during the six-game stretch since Week 7 with four touchdowns. Much of that yardage has been powered by his long receptions, as he's now put together three straight games with a +50 yard catch. And most of those long receptions have been powered by his yards after the catch, with Shorts often turning into a punt returner once he makes the catch. He's also behind only Chris Givens in yards per catch (20.8).
Shorts gives great value at the flex spot, as he could be used as a WR2.
As inviting as Hilton is as a flex option (and if you can use him there too, Danny, please make the necessary clicks), he's been wildly inconsistent. That's not a weakness or a flaw. It's simply a fact, and it's what you should expect from a rookie who's essentially splitting time with Donnie Avery, resulting in very sporadic targets. One week Hilton will receive one target (Week 10), and then another week he'll get nine targets for 100 yards (Week 11).
Alexander, meanwhile, has become the Chargers' newest Vincent Jackson, a role that Robert Meachem failed in miserably. Since he returned to full health in Week 9 Alexander has 365 receiving yards over four games. He'll face a ninth-ranked Bengals secondary with Leon hall and Nate Clements this weekend, which is a little concerning, but I'd still confidently slot in Alexander with his status as Philip Rivers' new favorite option over Hilton, who's busted far more than he's boomed. Hilton has three 100-yard games, but he's also posted seven games with less than 40 yards.

The WDW one needs alittle updating. It may be a classic but they need to refurb it before it becomes way beyond repairing like with what happened with 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Simon Property Group Headquarters
Structure in General
light brown
dark green
- It was recognized in 2007 with the Monumental Award, representing the most significant visual and physical enhancement in Marion County.
- The redesign changed the building from 234 feet and 15 floors to 259 feet and 14 floors.
- Locally-based Ratio Architects replaced Cooper Carry as design architect after the design was criticized. The exterior envelope was modified after Duke Construction had already started accepting bids for the structural steel.
- The official groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 29, 2004.
- The original design was by Atlanta-based Cooper Carry, Inc.. Local architects and the public complained that the design was uninspired.
- The design released on September 13, 2004 included a 3-story transparent lobby allowing views of the Indiana State House and Capitol Commons from either side.
- There was much public discussion regarding the selection of a popular park for the site of this building. Many citizens were opposed to altering the park and the financial incentives provided by the city of Indianapolis.
- On June 28, 2004, the City-County Council approved $23 million in incentives for construction of this building.
- This building was constructed on the northern third of the Capital Commons Park. It rises over an underground parking garage constructed during the 1980's.
- This project follows the previous Simon Property Group Headquarters, a proposal for the nearby Wholesale District which lasted just a few days in January 2004.
- The first phase of Simon's move to this new building took place on July 7, 2006.
- The building has a 25,000 square foot footprint and is situated at the northeast corner of the site, directly on the Washington Street/Capitol Avenue intersection.

What if I don't pay my premiums on time?
Most insurance policies offer a grace period of about a month. If you have permanent insurance, and you still haven't paid within the month, most companies will use the cash value to pay your premium. If you have term insurance, your policy will lapse (meaning your beneficiaries won't get any death benefit if you die). Most companies will allow you to renew a lapsed policy, but you will have to pay all the premiums you missed, plus interest.
However, if you can't pay your premiums because you've become disabled, some insurance policies will allow you to keep your insurance without paying any premiums (this is called a "disability waiver"). Ask your insurance agent whether your policy has a disability waiver.
What happens if I fail my medical exam and the company won't sell me insurance?
There are companies that specialize in providing insurance to people with health issues. You will pay more, but at least you will have insurance.
If I get very sick, can I use my life insurance to help pay my medical bills?
Life insurance isn't health insurance, but some policies have an "accelerated death benefit" that will allow you to use your life insurance to pay your medical bills if you are terminally ill or in long-term care. Talk with your insurance agent about what your policy allows.

Movie Review
Mrs. Henderson Presents
"The show must go on, but the clothes must come off." (0)
Judi Dench in Mrs. Henderson Presents. |
Mrs. Henderson Presents is a very British movie. Filled with British pluck, repressed emotions and a nice amount of British humor, this is a movie that would have been very different had it been made in America.
Dame Judi Dench stars as the Mrs. Henderson of the title. Newly widowed in London of the 1930s, she buys a condemned theater on a whim. She hires Vivian Van Dam (Hoskins) to manage it for her and the two immediately begin a love/hate relationship that results in a musical revue that is the smash of the West End. But when the other theaters begin stealing their ideas and business goes down, Mrs. Henderson comes up with a new idea to pack the seats.
Her idea is to feature nude women in the show. However, since this was a time when such things were unheard of in legitimate theater, she must first get permission to be licensed for such a thing from the government. Fortunately Mrs. Henderson is quite well connected and after showing the Lord Chancellor a preview performance, he agrees to allow the nudity on one condition. The nude girls never move while on stage. This allows everyone to compare the nudity on stage to the nudity in a painting hung in a museum and thus it becomes art.
Although there is a fair amount of nudity in the movie, this is not a movie about sex or even really a sexy movie. The real story is about the eccentric Mrs. Henderson herself. As played by Judi Dench she is on the surface a rather flighty high society widow who is perhaps for the first time experiencing the unsheltered aspects of life and having fun while doing it. Her banter with Hoskins' Van Dam is the highlight of the film.
After World War II starts, Mrs. Henderson's nude review is the only show left running, in part due to the protests of the servicemen when the government tries to shut it down and in part to Mrs. Henderson's influence. "If we're going to ask our young men to give up their lives," she says, "The very least we can do is to show them a little joy before they do."
While this rather light-hearted movie might not seem the type of fare that generates Oscar nominations, Dame Judi's was fairly earned. Along with the comedy, but never detracting from it, she slips in several moments of drama. Mrs. Henderson's son died during the First World War and in a way her show for the boys in uniform is done for him. The London blitz also plays a dramatic part in the story. But most of all, the Oscar nomination was earned simply by how effortless Dench's performance is given. With decades of experience behind her she can say more with just her eyes than many young actresses of today can say with whole pages of dialogue.
Since the Oscar race for Best Actress seems to be focused entirely on Felicity Huffman and Reese Witherspoon, it's doubtful that Dench will pull off an upset, but with any luck the mere nomination will encourage others to see this small, but delightful movie.
