The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "In those days, yes, at that very time when I put life back together again for Judah and Jerusalem, | 1 "In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, |
2 I'll assemble all the godless nations. I'll lead them down into Judgment Valley And put them all on trial, and judge them one and all because of their treatment of my own people Israel. They scattered my people all over the pagan world and grabbed my land for themselves. | 2 I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. |
3 They threw dice for my people and used them for barter. They would trade a boy for a whore, sell a girl for a bottle of wine when they wanted a drink. | 3 They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes; they sold girls for wine that they might drink. |
4 "As for you, Tyre and Sidon and Philistia, why should I bother with you? Are you trying to get back at me for something I did to you? If you are, forget it. I'll see to it that it boomerangs on you. | 4 "Now what have you against me, O Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done. |
5 You robbed me, cleaned me out of silver and gold, carted off everything valuable to furnish your own temples. | 5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples. |
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem into slavery to the Greeks in faraway places. | 6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might send them far from their homeland. |
7 But I'm going to reverse your crime. I'm going to free those slaves. I'll have done to you what you did to them: | 7 "See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them, and I will return on your own heads what you have done. |
8 I'll sell your children as slaves to your neighbors, And they'll sell them to the far-off Sabeans." | 8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away." The LORD has spoken. |
9 Announce this to the godless nations: Prepare for battle! Soldiers at attention! Present arms! Advance! | 9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack. |
10 Turn your shovels into swords, turn your hoes into spears. Let the weak one throw out his chest and say, "I'm tough, I'm a fighter." | 10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, "I am strong!" |
11 Hurry up, pagans! Wherever you are, get a move on! Get your act together. Prepare to be shattered by God! | 11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your warriors, O LORD! |
12 Let the pagan nations set out for Judgment Valley. There I'll take my place at the bench and judge all the surrounding nations. | 12 "Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. |
13 "Swing the sickle - the harvest is ready. Stomp on the grapes - the winepress is full. The wine vats are full, overflowing with vintage evil. | 13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow-- so great is their wickedness!" |
14 "Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! God's Judgment Day has arrived in Decision Valley. | 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. |
15 "The sky turns black, sun and moon go dark, stars burn out. | 15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine. |
16 God roars from Zion, shouts from Jerusalem. Earth and sky quake in terror. But God is a safe hiding place, a granite safe house for the children of Israel. | 16 The LORD will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the sky will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel. |

Speaker Profiles Policy leaders and program managers are confronted daily by major security, privacy and trust challenges from both policy and implementation perspectives. Identity management, access and associated security technologies are critical components of e-government. Open standards and their integration across emerging federated infrastructures are beginning to bring both order and solutions to these challenges. Innovative identity solutions are being implemented in collaborative efforts between governments and private sector organizations today, including major federated identity initiatives, national approaches to secure online transactions, new privacy models, and focused efforts to secure health IT, smart grid, and cloud computing environments. Much can be learned from these implementations.
This two-day Identity Management Conference provides the perfect forum for representatives from governments and industry around the world to come together to learn and share information about these important and relevant technology developments, implementations, risk management challenges and success stories.
Keynote Speakers:
Mr. Timothy H. Edgar, Director of Privacy and Civil Liberties, Cybersecurity Directorate, National Security Staff, The White House,

BatteryMart.com offers a wide selection of replacement Apple iPod Batteries. Our replacement batteries are designed to work with specific Apple iPods such as the iPod Mini, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Video as well as the older generation models.
If you need assistance with purchasing your Apple iPod battery please call our customer service team at 1-800-405-2121 or email us.
Featured Products: (Click the image or name for more information)
The Apple iPod has become synonymous with MP3 player for years now, even while Apple made the original claim that an iPod with a dead battery was a dead iPod. Luckily, replacement manufacturers, working with the same specifications that Apple uses to make the iPod batteries they sell, have always been ready to step in with quality aftermarket batteries at reasonable prices. Currently, getting your iPod battery through a replacement dealer can be a great way to get another three or more years of life out of your MP3 player.
Replacement and aftermarket iPod batteries are made to meet the exact same high quality specifications that Apple has laid out for the original batteries that come in the device. While a replacement battery may not have the Apple brand attached, it is frequently made to be identical to the battery in your iPod in all other ways and is often even made in the same factory that created your original battery. The only difference between the iPod batteries that Apple sells on their website, and the iPod batteries you can get from a replacement manufacturer at Battery Mart, is the price.
If your iPod battery isn't holding a charge anymore, there is no need to replace the entire device. The replacement iPod batteries offered by Battery Mart can bring your iPod back to life for a fraction of the cost of a repair or replacement directly from Apple. When necessary, the iPod battery we send you will come with the tools and instructions you need to get it into your iPod so you can safely perform your battery replacement at home.
Battery Mart backs up all the batteries we sell with our hassle free satisfaction guarantee, so you can order your new iPod battery from us with confidence.

I by no means am an expert in this marketing thing, but I do have a few claims to fame. One being I have a handful of Squidoo Lens that rank on the first page of Google. When I say high, I mean number one for some highly searched terms in my niche. High as in above the creators of the products I promote. Let me explain a bit more.
I am in the dating and relationship niche. There are dating gurus out there with some best selling products. Often when you Google the name of their product which is the top keyword, there is my little Squidoo Lens right there on the first page of google, while they sit at number 2. I must add that this spot jumps around and confess that I don't really know why. I rarely jump below 5 though and after updating my lens by very little, I usually can get them back to number one. Very little as in adding a tag or picture and pinging it. Sometimes I add another text module with another long tailed keyword.
Another thing here that I need to mention that is important in how to get on the first page of Google with Squidoo is your tags. My highest ranking lens have many tags as in over 20, some have over 50. Once I have been found in Google, I go to my stats and check what keywords are driving traffic and if I haven't used them, I add them. This does count as an update and you can republish and ping after adding a few tags.
I want to state again that I am no expert. I have been at Squidoo for going on 3 years and I have a little formula that I follow. To get your Squidoo Lens ranked in Google keyword research is step one. I do use Google adwords tool, but I also rely a lot on my head. My first goal is to pick out 4 to 5 Keywords or semi long tailed key words. Lets say I was promoting an ebook hypothetically written by Joe Blow called How to Make a Man Commit. I think of if I was searching this how would I search it. See possibilities below of Broad search:
1. How to make a man commit 5400
2. Getting a man to commit 590
3. He wont commit 2400
4. how to make a man want you 65,000
5. make your man commit
Not I did say this was a broad search. The 65,000 may be a sign that I want to create a seperate lens on this topic alone. I would also drill down and change my keyword results to exact, but this will do for my point.
When selecting the name for my lens, I will use the second one, Getting a man to commit. That becomes my domain at Squidoo. When building a lens after you select this it asks you for 3 more search terms which is where I add #1,#3 and #5. Number one you notice is the title of the product I am promoting. This becomes my introduction title. I am not sure why, but just know this to be, you don't want your title and domain at Squidoo to be the same.
Now I add 3 texts modules and write those like I was writing an article. My titles and articles will be built around these keywords I have preselected. The first on after the introduction may be titles "What it takes to make a man commit". I write the article spiced with this keyword, not too much, just a few times throughout.
Then I move onto the second text module. I may title this one, What to do if he won't commit and again repeat above steps. It's sort of like an outline with the information organized accordingly.
I add pictures. When I upload the pictures I am adding, I label them in my computer to the key words. One pic may be labeled "make him commit". This gives Google something else to crawl, not sure why, but it's a little trick I learned. If you just try updating your lens with this tip alone, you may notice and increase in traffic.
I add my link list where I have the actual option to purchase the ebook and hit publish. I write a few articles with Ezine or now I use Street Articles and direct them to my Squidoo lens. These are backlinks. When the little green check appears in a day or so, I submit the RSS feed to Feedage, ping in in pingomatic and in Squidutils and tada, I am done.
Once you learn this process and do it a few times, you will be able to do it in just an hour or so. Create create and update every couple of weeks. These sites don't usually move to the first page of Google overnight. I have had a few move rapidly, but usually we are talking at least a few months.

Update on Squidoo August 18th, 2014!
Squidoo has sold out the Hubpages. I am grateful for all I learned at Squidoo as it was a great platform for me to learn affiliate marketing! I am also grateful that I saw the writing on the wall and began creating my own websites a little over a year ago!

I've been busy last week and had to recoup so I took a few days off exercising and a day off from weighing. But not to worry I am back and going at it again. I took a 30 min bike ride today wished I could have gone for more but it seems that my stamina just couldn't keep up :(. mj5 - Great going! Nice job and great pics of yourself :carrot::carrot::carrot:. :bravo::cp::congrat::cheer3::woohoo: jab91864 04-03-2012, 07:35 AM MJ you look GREAT !!!! Beverlyjoy 04-03-2012, 10:05 AM Hi!.. I seem to be getting back my mojo with food. I am taking meds that make me retain water - that just 'messes' with my mind. However, I am moving forward again. Yesterday: planned/measured/logged food no seconds stretches and strengthening lots of water left one bite at every meal/snack tried to eat slower I've planned for a healthy day. Hi Jab!!! Jinxy - always good to recoup. Give yourself credit for that 30 minute ride! Have a great day to all. mj5 04-03-2012, 09:45 PM Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well! My new workout kicked my booty! Wow. Felt good, though. SO excited about the 10k walk this Saturday!!! Can't wait to share it with you. Beverlyjoy--Thank you! They are going well. Not as fast as I would like, but slow and steady is good. Never giving up is the key! Oh....silly meds! I feel your pain my friend. I 'knew' I was having an issue w/ a med....but still....keep at it. You can do it! Jinxy--Everyone needs a break sometimes. Thanks! jab--nice to see you! Thank you! Enjoy your evening! Kitcherella 04-04-2012, 04:01 AM Hey all! All is well here. 3 days of work left and then nearly two weeks of rest. 23 days smoke-free and very motivated to be as healthy as can be. Especially after seeing your pictures Mj!!! What a difference! I also found one similarity which I liked - you are smiling in both pics! most people look really depressed in the before photo and I don't like that. Congratulations on your year-long persistence, effort and success. :cp: Beverlyjoy - just like you said, never give up. Bravo for doing all those things daily and enjoying it. jinxy - 30 mins on the bike is 30 more than 0! Good job! "If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking." Buddhist Proverb Take care! mj5 04-04-2012, 10:29 PM Hi! Awesome gym workout tonight! I was sweating up a storm! Kitcherella--CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 23 days smoke free is awesome! Thank you! Funny story behind the "before" pics....well, first, I did NOT want to take them (who does, right?) Then....between the dogs running around and me closing my eyes....it took MANY tries before we got one we could use. I was laughing at my DH who was being funny. Elizabeth779 04-05-2012, 04:16 AM Hi MJ -- great pics -- very inspirational --and Kitcherella -- good for you for 23 days without the cigs....that is inspirational too. conquering any addiction helps us with out food issues. I'm struggling -- big time -- I'm having some office politics junk go on that really has my head turned around -- a close friend I thought has played me as a pawn in some office political stuff and I just don't think a friend should do that.....I have to get my mind off it and get back to working on healthy eating and get my arse back in the gym. MJ, your posts about that gym really do inspire me to get back. I had a great workout Monday so need to go back, and need to get back to healthier eating. You all have a great day -- the accountability thread is great. I'm expecting my next post to show I'm back on track, accountable to myself, positive in action, eating healthy, and gaining fitness, losing fat in the gym. Elizabeth lottie63 04-05-2012, 07:55 PM *hangs head in shame* I'm back ladies! This has always been my fave thread. I've regained almost half of what I lost. I wasn't doing very well for a few months. I Didn't realize until recently that my mental health being wonky was what was keeping me gaining. But as soon as I started experiencing multiple med changes over the last six months, the more I gained. Now that I'm back to being stable I'm also back on plan. I find it so much easier, when I'm unstable my weight is the last thing I'm worried about, just glad that I am catching it before I gain it all back! Update....my book should be done by the end of summer. Work is good, everything is great with my bf, we just had our 17 year anniv. :) Life is back on track. hurrah. Anyhow, today: b: 1 oz almonds, almond milk, 1/2 of a blondie l: black beans, rice, grilled veggies with bbq sauce, corn, and hot salsa (delicious!) s: Homemade guacamole and gf almond crackers d: potatoes and carrots in indian spices s: GIANT salad :) I'm in a study right now, and I've decided only to weight when they weigh me once a month, I am trying not to obsess on the scale. Some days I FEEL great and feel like I LOOK good, but then I weigh and my self esteem tanks, so, no more of that for a bit. Glad to be back. :) lottie63 04-05-2012, 07:56 PM mj lookin' good lady! mj5 04-05-2012, 09:28 PM Hi everyone! Just popping in before I finish getting ready for my ROADTRIP tomorrow! I am heading to a friend's house for overnight. We are doing a 10k walk in Central Park on Saturday morning. I am SO SO SO excited!!! Elizabeth and lottie--Great to see you both here! Thank you :) I'll check in when I get back! Elizabeth779 04-06-2012, 07:00 AM mj -- have fun on the central park walk -- woooo hooooooo you go gal! lottie -- you're in the right place, and It's great you're in a study. I'm still the same.....but today things got better at the office. she retired, a good friend called me and we had a long talk tonight, I've just got to get my nose in a computer at work and ignore the office politics stuff. Here's to us for a good day tomorrow! Auty 04-06-2012, 06:44 PM Hey, sorry I have been MIA for a few days, had to deal with a few hard challenges and strong emotions. I want to apologize before you read my post because its going to be long and I totally understand if you want to just skip it, I just need to get it all out. I had an extremely stressful weekend with my husband who had to complete something that was 205 pages for school, it was pretty intense and was due on the 2nd and it drained me working on that with him. I dont know if it was the stress from that, that caused the down hill spiral but it couldnt have helped. I dealt with some intense cravings, and made some choices that I am not exactly proud of. We both over ate during this time period, thats just a cold hard fact that I have to accept. What didnt happen though was the fast food trap, the chowing down on a whole bag of lays potato chips (tho I did consume 4 servings of Kettle cooked organic salt and vinegar chips in one sitting:nono:), and we stayed away from unhealthy processed foods. I did eat my calories in dark chocolate, eggs, veggies, and home-made salsa and tortilla chips. It was a small comfort to be able to turn to better choices this time but next time this happens (I know it will because life doesnt stop because you are trying to watch what you eat) I am hoping I can focus more on the over-eating portion of control. I thought for sure I would gain 10lbs but according to the scale the last few days it was around 1-2lbs. It seems like once it rains it pours, my husband only has 3 more weeks of school and then he graduates with his Masters, and then that leaves 1 year of dissertation and 1 year of internship and while its exciting and awesome that the class portion of his degree is over, its almost terrifying. All he has known since he was 16 years old is college (he started early and has spent the last 10 years chasing his dream of having his PhD in his field, but now that its drawing near its like, what do I do once the chase is over?), and our whole relationship has been while at least one of us was in school. So its stressful trying to imagine what the new changes are going to mean for us. We also have a friend that is going through a separation and she is going to come and stay the next 3 weeks with us until her apartment opens up, and while I am not really stressed about her being here (she is great company) I feel like I may be taking on some of her stress just because I feel a great deal of empathy for her, and literally the day after she leaves my husbands family (4 members) are going to be coming to stay in our apartment (600sq ft 2 bedroom) for 2 weeks to be here for my husbands graduation. These are great people and I enjoy them and their company but they are from an island that has limited food choices and once they come to the city they enjoy eating out (they never get to at home so I understand this) but I am worried about making the right food choices while they are here, and how it will affect us financially (eating away from home is expensive). Then literally 1 day after my husbands family leaves, I have a cousin I have never met coming to visit (my mother was adopted and just recently found some of her biological family). I have also stopped taking 2 of my medicines (doctor has allowed it since they were preventative) and I have no idea what type of imbalance they can be causing. In the middle of all this a young local woman who was abducted 2 months ago was found in a local lake, my husband and I had helped in placing flyers around our town and the local city and I know I am not going through the amount of heartache that her family is going through but its still breaking my heart and I think about it often, its not the end that any of us wanted and I am feeling somewhat spiritually crushed. *sighs* thanks for letting me get all of that out, hopefully it will help me move past these emotions I am feeling. Still trucking along, and hoping everyone else is doing well! mj5- your pictures are AMAZING! You are such an inspiration and thank you so much for sharing these with us! I am sorry to hear about the drama at your job coming back and I hope that it ceases to exist! I am excited for you and your 10k walk this weekend! Take some pictures! It would be awesome to get to walk in Central Park, well for me anyway! Beverlyjoy- I love your attitude of never giving up! Jinxy- something is always better than nothing and your stamina will catch up. recouping is good to, I feel better after having a few days of trying to get my mind back in the challenge. Kitcherella - so awesome 23 days free! You are an amazing woman! And yay for time off from work, rest rest rest! Elizabeth779 - :) Welcome! Lottie63- welcome back! Jinxy 04-06-2012, 08:14 PM Just wanted to come on and update everyone along with doing some personals. I've lost another 1.1 pounds today now I can officially celebrate leaving the 270's behind :carrot: :yay:. I've been very busy with my college classes (math is so rough on me :frypan: ) luckily I only have two more weeks of class then it's spring break for me :yay:. My husband and I are seeing about getting away without the kids for a weekend after my classes finish, but that only depends if we can find something affordable as well as nearby (or at least in state). Right now I'm trying to finish up my classes for the week so that I can have the weekend free (almost done btw :carrot: ). Which means it's an all day job and I haven't exercised today. Auty - Seems like you have a lot on your plate right now. Also sounds like you have a big heart to go out and put up posters your town for that young woman. I'm sure every little bit helps it's so sad to hear about stuff like that happening. You must be very proud of your husband a Master's is nothing to sneeze at my own husband got his as well a few years back. Him doing so is what made me want to go back to college. I do know how you feel though when things get hectic and jumbled up so much so that you don't know how everything is going to work out. The good thing is that most of the time it does, then other times you can only hang on and hope for the best ;). mj5 - Have fun Roadtrippin' :carrot: :wave: lottie63 and Elizabeth779 Elizabeth779 04-08-2012, 07:36 AM Hi everyone -- I have good news -- I got back on track today and didn't binge. I had some sugar shakes from withdrawal, but feel I'm positively getting back on track. Looking forward to hearing how the central park marathon went..... SarahFairhope 04-08-2012, 08:23 AM Hi! I'm Sarah and am hoping I can use this thread to keep me accountable with my exercise goals. I recently "got back on the horse." Literally! After 12 years of NOT riding, I started lessons just this last Friday. I. am. so. sore. When I for got on, NOTHING felt right. I recalled loving riding and feel so at home in the saddle. But after about 20 mins, I got my form somewhat back and by the end of the lesson I had properly posted for maybe 15secs. I'll be taking lessons once a week for a month, and once I gain my confidence again, I'll head out to the stables more often to ride independently. Riding has been the only exercise that I'll happily and excitedly do, so I'm really glad its back in my life. In addition to riding, my husband recently got me an elliptical machine. Now, I've just got to come up with a way to incorporate using it into my life that becomes "non-negotiable!" MJ - Those photos are SOOO inspirational. Thanks for posting them. What I really love is that your personality just seems to shine through on the fitter photo. And that is my biggest goal. Just for me to look MORE like me - with less of me actually being there. :) Auty - I use to live in Alaska! And my husband was born and raised there. We were married in Palmer and lived in Anchorage. My sister came up for a visit and never left! That girl who went missing, that coffee stand was RIGHT by my sister apartment. So upsetting. :( As a recent graduate (and we moved on top of THAT stress) I really get the over eating. I gained 30lbs from the weight I had lost after having my baby. I decided school was my top priority and to deal with the stress, I stuffed myself. I too am trying to learn to deal with stress in a healthier way. But it sounds like you are moving in the right direction but choosing some healthier choices. :) mj5 04-09-2012, 09:18 AM Hi everyone! I'm baaaaaaaaack! We had a FANTASTIC time during our 10K! There were 11,000 people who participated. The atmosphere was incredible. This was my first race, but not my last! We walked most of it, but jogged some. We had a 14:43 pace, which considering we walked most of it was good. Then we walked around the City for a while and headed back to my friends house. I was SO caught up in the race, I didn't get pics, but the race website will have some up soon that I will share. We are already making plans to do it again next year and improve our time! Auty--Phew! First, no need to apologize. We all need to get that kind of stuff out. You have a LOT going on. Do your best, one day at a time. This isn't a sprint, it's lifestyle changes. Challenges are going to present themselves along the way and it's how we learn from them that metters. You've got this! Thank you!!! Jinxy--CONGRATS on another loss!!! Elizabeth779--That is EXCELLENT news! SarahFairhope--Welcome!!! I think it is great that you are riding again! Thank you :) Yesterday I tried some running. I did a quick 2 miles, running for a min and walking for a min. I was on a trail near my house and it felt great! Today is a full body workout at the gym, a quick trip to the outlet mall (I need smaller shirts!), then study time!!! Have a great day everyone!!!! Beverlyjoy 04-09-2012, 10:06 AM TGIMonday! Glad the huge temptations are gone. I've given away most of the food. Soon the extra pie will be trashed. (DH said he'd take it to the neighbor.. he didn't, so in the trash it goes with a good squirt of liquid dish soap.) It's better in the trash than me. I have my journal and will plan out a healthy food day. I hope everyone is doing well today. If you ate extra over the weekend... well, that's over and done. You must forgive yourself and hop right back on your plan. Have a GREAT day. SarahFairhope 04-09-2012, 01:15 PM MJ- What a great experience! I hear 10ks are like tattoos. Once you do one, youre hooked. ;) BeverlyJoy - Nice, cleaning the house of the temptations! I think I'll follow suit. My friends from back in Utah (I recently just moved to New England) want to meet me in Las Vegas. Looks like they will probably want to do something in August. I also have a wedding to go to in August. I'm dedicating myself to 1hr of cardio every morning until I leave for Vegas. I don't think I'm going to care how fast I go, I just want to take this time to develop the habit of doing it everyday. mj5 04-09-2012, 08:19 PM Hi! I had an awesome gym workout today. Phew...I was sweating up a storm! LOVE it! Beverlyjoy--Good for you getting the food out of the house! SarahFairhope--Sounds like an awesome plan! You can totally do that!!! Yes, I have heard that as well....I am doing a 5K w/ my cousin next month. She can't run do to an ankle injury, so we will be walking this one as well. Someday, I would like to be able to run one ;) Tomorrow night I have Zumba and Body Fit. Can't wait to see my friends and tell them about the 10k! lottie63 04-09-2012, 08:36 PM Hope everyone had a good holiday! My eating has been pretty good even though I'm down home. I brought a bunch of my own food to cook since gluten free/vegan is too hard for my mom right now. Anyhow, doing well. hope everyone else is too. :) SarahFairhope 04-10-2012, 08:24 AM Bah, my little guys was up all night. Which made getting up before 6am to work out just not something I was willing to do. But I haven't given up on getting that cardio in!! When my husband gets home, I'm hopping on that elliptical! Elizabeth779 04-10-2012, 08:26 AM Hi everyone -- MJ5 -- glad to hear you had a great time in NYC at the martathon. I tried zumba once at 297 and loved it....will try it again after i lose some more. Beverylyjoy -- your house had "pie"???? PERK!! I had a tough day of challenges at work, I made a mistake and it caused some problems and i stayed over for 1 hour until 3:00 a.m. to get everything fixed....and on the way home on the freeway i was stressed thinking about what might happen about the mistakes, etc ....and was so wanting to get off the freeway, and eat my weight in pancakes.....but instead i came home and had some milk with a tiny bit of splenda, warmed it up, and then a tiny bit of vanilla in it.....oh it was nice -- tasted like warm ice cream....so that was my nonscale victory for the day,..... hope you all have a great day!!! mj5 04-11-2012, 10:00 PM Hi everyone! I wanted to go to the gym after my hair appt tonight, but my knee had other plans. It was really sore, so I came home and am resting and put ice on it. If it feels better, I will go to the gym and do my workout. lottie--Hi! Glad to hear you are doing well! I have found that it is a lot easier to bring my own food when I travel, well....not so much easier as it is better for me, haha. great job! SarahFairhope--Yikes, hope your little guy slept for you! Elizabeth779--thanks! It was a 10k...sooo not ready (and probably never will be) for a marathon. sorry to hear about your tough day at work. It happens. Great job on your snack!!! We are actually celebrating Easter this weekend w/ my family. I can't wait to see my niece! She is 6 and we have SO much fun together! I will take my own food. My family still doesn't "get" the whole vegetarian thing, but that's ok, they don't have to. It's my choice. Besides, by taking my own food...I know exactly what I am eating ;) lottie63 04-11-2012, 10:54 PM mj sounds like you had fun! I'm planning to go to cedar point in august. Need to lose some weight before then for certain rides! Kitcherella 04-12-2012, 05:53 AM Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well. I am enjoying my coffee this glorious, relaxing, work-free morning and later on today we are going to my favourite place in the world, our summer house. This weekend is our Easter and that means tons of food. It is tradition to eat lamb and 'kokoretsi' and 'mageiritsa' - not for the sqeamish!(and definitely not for vegetarians, sorry about that). However, this is good food meaning that we'll have barbecued meat and salads with lovely spring vegetables. I am sure I will indulge but I am planning to take long walks and move as much as I can to compensate. It won't be hard to motivate myself as you can see from the attached photo. This is the fence of the house. Thank you for your super kind words concerning my effort to quit smoking. One whole month smoke free! :cp: Elizabeth - I hope the politics you mentioned are over now, what a delicious NSV! Lotie - nice you are here - cedar point sounds awesome! Mj - yeah for your walk, yeah for needing new smaller shirts, yeah for studying and learning new interesting things! Auty - oh, so many things happening, I hope you are coping well, I am sending :hug: - The end or an era only means the beginning of a new one! Jinxy - yeah for leaving 270 and brilliant for spring break! Sarah - Horse riding sounds great and an elliptical at home, you have the tools for success Beverlyjoy - You reminded me of the scene from Sex and the city - when Miranda put the chocolate cake in the bin and (after eating some) squirted washing liquid on it. Nice you resisted temptation! And since yesterday I was at a funeral I thought of this magnificent poem by Dylan Thomas to share with you today, so here's the first verse And death shall have no dominion. Dead mean naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion. Take care everybody! lottie63 04-13-2012, 09:53 PM today was a stressful eat everything in sight day. Beverlyjoy 04-14-2012, 06:39 AM Hi! I am so excited about the birth of my granddaughter. We will drive there tomorrow to meet her. Then drive back for me to catch a flight to LA where I'll be with my sister for 8 days helping her... she had a surgery. Then, I"ll be back home and then go back to where my son/dil/gs/&gd live. Lots of running around. Whewww I've packed my Beck book and have my other reading materials in regards to healthy and sane eating. I ordered a low calorie meal for the plane. (I didn't even think they fed folks anymore) It's going to be a busy next two weeks. I need to be careful and thinking about making wise choices. I will plan the best I can. I will have to use other people's computers while I am gone. I hope I can check in. Have a GREAT day. mj5 04-14-2012, 08:24 AM Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well. I ended up with a bit of the stomach bug on Thursday, ICK. Feeling much better now! Kitcherella--I am studying to become a personal trainer. LOTS to learn :) I am having a lot of fun w/ it! lottie--HUGS! Hope today is a better day sweetie! Beverlyjoy--CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'll bet she is beautiful! Phew! you are going to be super busy!!! Don't forget to take care of you, too! I did my monthly pics and measurements for my trainer the other day. In the past month, I lost 1" in my chest, waist, and calf and 2" in my waist.

Here is one of me just as I crossed the finish line! http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae178/marisfan/done.jpg lottie63 04-16-2012, 08:50 PM Hey everyone, just wanted to say I have a job interview tomorrow.

Kitcherella--Thanks! how are you? Auty--Hi! Pop in when you can. Hope things slow down for you. lottie--I have everything crossed for you!!! Beverlyjoy--How are you? I am dealing with a lot of fluid retention AGAIN. Just frustrating. I know it will go away, but it's just annoying. Busy, but fun Saturday. Kickboxing, errands, a class about eating healthy as a vegetarian being put on by a local health food store, then the gym. Phew!!!! Good thing tomorrow is a rest day! Have a great day everyone! Kitcherella 04-23-2012, 03:08 AM Hey all! After a nice break back to work today. I managed to lose a kilo during my holidays which is great! I can't believe April is nearly over. Mj - I know how you feel, the next few weeks will be really hard for me too workwise. We can do it! :high: I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Auty - I do not have to wait for the official weight to give you a :bravo: Lottie - I hope you get the job :crossed: I think this fits - "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" Take care Kitcherella 04-26-2012, 03:39 PM I hope you all are doing alright!

Getting excited, half way to the finish line of getting through the stress and then I can get back on serious track! Miss you guys and hope everyone is doing well! lottie63 04-29-2012, 10:16 AM so about the job... I was offered one and when I left the offices (The people were jerks and I didn't really want it) I texted my district manager to tell her that they might be calling for a reference and she offered me a raise and full time/benefits to get me to stay so I did. :) Hurrah. :) mj5 04-29-2012, 05:53 PM Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Things are still super busy at work, but hopefully will be settling down a bit (fingers crossed). I am still doing my thing...eating well and working out. The scale isn't moving, but it isn't going up so that's a good thing! I am still having an issue w/ some fluid retention, so I am working on that. I just received new info from my trainer so I will start my new workout tomorrow. Can't wait! lottie--Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awesome! mj5 05-02-2012, 02:58 AM Hellllloooo??? Wow, it sure is quiet around here. Hope everyone is doing well. I received my new workout from my trainer. Wow. It is intense, but I love it, of course! Tonight I went to Fleet Feet and was fitted for running shoes. It was a great experience. Now I know exactly what to look for. I found a pair that feel great on my feet. Still can't believe I am actually going to try running, for real. Pretty exciting, actually. Check in when you can. :) Kitcherella 05-04-2012, 03:05 AM Do we have a new thread for May? Anyway, I hope May is better loss-wise, as the weather is so hot here and beach time is around the corner. And that means SWIMSUIT. :eek: SarahFairhope - I finished season 1, it is great! I will watch the episodes of season 2 next weekend. I can't wait to see what happens... How is horse riding going? Do you have a khalasar? Jinxy - nice to have a vacation, hope you are ok Auty - I hope the stressful period is nearly over. Is it getting any warmer there? Lottie - great news, a raise and full-time :cp: Mj - you are amazing. You are taking up running on top of your other activities? Let me repeat, you are amazing. I hope everyone is feeling OK and doing well and as it is election day here on Sunday here are a couple of appropriate quotes. "Mankind will never see an end of trouble until... lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power... become lovers of wisdom." Plato, The Republic "each candidate behaved well in the hope of being judged worthy of election. However, this system was disastrous when the city had become corrupt. For then it was not the most virtuous but the most powerful who stood for election, and the weak, even if virtuous, were too frightened to run for office." Niccolo Machiavelli lottie63 05-05-2012, 01:02 PM Is there no may thing here? anyhow.... I can't do the raise/full time at my current job. It's too much. The pain is so bad I had to call off late last night and told the DM I have to put in my two weeks for a sitting job. stupid fibro. :( I cried all the way home on the bus last night and then cried myself to sleep. The pain was so excruciating I called my friend who had just had his gallbladder out looking for pain meds. he never filled his scrip. :( lottie63 05-05-2012, 01:26 PM btw, last night i was so upset I wanted to come home and pig out, but by the time I actually got here I couldn't stand to stand anymore, so cooking was out and I'd left my wallet at a store at the mall (they saved it for me), and I was actually so stressed the thought of food was just making me ill. I hear peopel say "I was so stressed I couldn't eat." But I always thought wow I wish that were my problem, NEVER thought I'd get there. but I def was. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Designer Fernanda Paes Barretto demonstrates that it isn't necessary to construct a piece of furniture from basic components, but rather that you can sculpt a chair, for instance, from objects that might have previously served another purpose. The Banco Raquete is a quirky little stool that has been successfully assembled from discarded tennis rackets.
One of the three has been plucked of its strings, but otherwise kept in its original form. The other two have been bent 90 degrees at their necks and jointed together at their handles. Mirroring each other, this pair of racquets is bound together with easy-grip tape. The third piece of equipment that makes up the Banco Raquete has been attached diagonally, functions as a small backrest and structural support.

Huge Archive Video Collection Going Public
For as long as Channel 7 has existed, we've been saving and archiving our video. Which means we now have more than 26,000 hours of Arkansas history. Now that visual history is one step closer to being at your fingertips.
On Wednesday, President of Allbritton Communications, KATV's parent company, Fred Ryan presented a ceremonial first videotape to University of Arkansas Chancellor David Gearhart. It's the first of some 26-thousand tapes that date back to the 1950's.
"There's nothing like this collection in this country," said former US Senator David Pryor. "There's nothing like it. There's nothing that resembles what we have here today."
From the Central High crisis to Elvis Presley getting his hair cut at Fort Chafee to memorable sports moments to presidential visits. It is a visual record of history.
"It is a treasure trove of material," says U of A Chancellor David Gearhart. "And we are very honored that we are going to be the organization that gets to care for this collection, gets to digitize it and gets to make it available to all Arkansans and all people everywhere.
The tapes will be housed at the Arkansas State Library in downtown Little Rock. They will be cataloged and digitized before being sent to the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History at the U of A.
Governor Mike Beebe calls it a history lesson for us and future generations. "I think this will have a huge impact on us today and a huge impact on all of them tomorrow in a way that can't do anything but help us be a better people, a better state, and indeed a better nation.
The tapes will be loaded into trucks and moved to the state library starting on Saturday.

Hi. I'm Ally and welcome to Seventeen's Beauty School. I'm gonna show you how to style your hair 7 different ways for everyday of the week. It's very important to have an everyday kit that you use. My kit includes a paddle brush, shampoo and conditioner, shine spray, a hairdryer and a flat iron. Today, I wanna wear my hair down and straight because I've been growing it out. I start by using anti-frizz cream while my hair is already down. I take a quarter-size amount. I rub it through my hands and rub it all the way through my hair so each strand is covered. Then, I blow dry my hair dry. All dry. Now, I'll flat iron my hair. You should do it in layers by putting half of it up. Start with the bottom layer and work your way from the top all the way down. Some sections of hair, you may need to go over 2 or 3 times. When I'm done straightening my hair, I finish with shine spray and I'm ready to go. On Tuesdays, I have tennis practice. It gets really hot so I like to have my hair and out of my face. So I put it in a ponytail and I use 2 elastics to hold. Then, I use 2 elastics to keep the fly-aways out of my face-- One 3 inches in the back and 1, an inch from my face. Now, I'm ready to kick some butt. On Wednesdays, I have dance rehearsal and I have to wear my hair in a bun. So I use a healthy doll of curling mousse and I apply it to my damp hair from roots all the way down to your tips. After I apply the mousse, I scrunge it to give it a curl. I love my hair air-dried so I don't get that slick back look that I hate. I just throw it up, twist it and put it in a bun. I secure it with an elastic and I'm ready to go. On Thursdays, I go to football games. For an easy, cute look, I use the mousse that I used yesterday and I apply it to my damp hair. And then I scrunge my hair to create some curls. After I let my hair air dry, I put in my favorite headband an inch from my hair line and it's game time. Fridays, I like to go to the movies with my friends. But after a long week, I don't want to spend too long on my hair, so I put it in a side ponytail with a jeweled elastic. Saturday night is the big dance and I really wanna look my best so I use a curling spray on my damp hair and then I blow dry on cool. Next, flat iron 1-inch sections of your hair from root to tip, twisting as you go. A little night time makeup and I'm ready to dance. On Sundays, I go to church but I also like to sleep [unknown]. So a quick tip for a cute look, I look color [unknown]-- 2 for actual hold. Thanks for watching. I hope you learned something. Have fun trying out all our new styles. Bye.

LISTEN: Miliband Adviser: Gordon Like Brezhnev
Ed's one-time guru Maurice Glasman has some choice words about what things were like under the Prime Mentalist:
"In the end, where there's no movement, where there's only outcomes, where it's all completely administrative: spending money is all you can do. That's the whole story of what happened to Gordon Brown who was just sitting there allocating or not allocating resources to people. There was no devolution of power, no politics in that. It was an entirely Brezhnevite kind of administrative system."
The two Eds must have had a great time. From Mr Bean to Brezhnev…

Gear Review
this jacket is an awesome one. I couldn't be happier. the only complaint I have for it is that its a little to bulky to wear around town or whatever. but for up in the mountains its amazingly warm and simple. ipod/mp3 player pocket on the inside. zip up and button. removable hood. and if you don't like the fur around the edge of the hood that is also removable.

ANNOUNCING the UAMS Faculty Center for Mediation
updated 10/9/2014
Dear Faculty Colleagues:
I am pleased to inform you that UAMS has established a faculty Center for Mediation to provide dispute resolution and professional coaching resources for our faculty members who are facing difficult changes and/or conflict. The center will be facilitated by multiple specially trained mediators including Christina Clark, Chief of Staff in the Chancellor's Office, who will serve as Director, with guidance from UAMS staff members with human resources and legal expertise.
Mediation is a voluntary process in which two or more parties in conflict meet with a trained, neutral mediator to identify and clarify issues in an effort to reach an agreement that best accommodates the needs and interests of all parties.
If you are experiencing a conflict that you think may benefit from mediation, I encourage you to call Ms. Clark at 686-5605 for assistance. For more information about the Center for Mediation, please read the attached Q&A Overview.

It is Wednesday, and also the day after Halloween, so I'm sure most of us are a little groggy today. Be it from ingesting far too much candy, or from dealing with kids who were off the wall with the expectation of winning the candy lotto, most of us could likely use a sonic boot in the ass. The debut album from Halifax's The Holy Snappers delivers just such a boot, with a vengence, and luckily for you it's available for free right now.
The Holy Snappers are composed of two former members of local punk heroes The Cuban Assassins (RIP one of the best-ever names in Halifax music lore) but a quick listen proves they haven't left their old band's ethos behind. Purveyors of, in their own words, "loud, fast rock'n'roll", their debut is a smash & grab mix of gruff, high energy vocals, speedy punk and angry, bluesy riffs. In other words, it's a perfect antidote for a bland Wednesday, so go and get it.

The club meets at 9:00 A.M. the third Saturday of odd numbered months; the time and location of the next meeting is listed on the right side of this site. Non-member Woodturners and guests are welcome to attend meetings as observers.

Looking for movie tickets? Enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing Secretary near you.
Sadomasochism provides the backdrop for a very unusual employer/employee relationship in this very offbeat romantic drama from filmmaker Steven Shainberg. Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a shy young woman, who, after a brief spell in a mental institution, is released in the care of her overprotective mother (Lesley Ann Warren) and hard-drinking father (Stephen McHattie). Hoping to make good on her own, Lee begins looking for a job, and in her free time indulges in her odd habit of inflicting pain upon herself in various ways. Lee is hired as a secretary by E. Edward Grey (James Spader), a grim and ruthlessly efficient attorney who warns her that her work will be both dull and demanding. Lee takes to the job with genuine enthusiasm, and while she's recently acquired a new boyfriend, Peter (Jeremy Davies), she's far more intrigued by Grey's coldly patrician demeanor. While Grey often criticizes Lee, she seems to thrive on his abuse, but one day he crosses a line when he insists upon spanking her after some minor mistake. Lee quite enjoys the treatment, and wants it to continue, but Grey can no longer take pleasure humiliating Lee when he knows that she likes it; he fires her, despite her pleas to be allowed to stay. Finally discovering the key to her sexual and emotional needs, Lee tries to persuade Peter to be rough with her, but he simply doesn't have the taste or talent for it, and Lee soon maps out a last-ditch effort to win back her position with Grey, whatever the cost. Secretary won a special award for "Originality" at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Converting Windows DLL to Linux SO
If I can do this it will save me a lot of time having to learn X windows programming. I don't think I can use any kind of IDE as I am creating all the resources my own resources from data stored on a relational database.
I'll probably just set off and see where I get to, but I'd be grateful to hear from anyone else who has experience of porting DLLs to Linux using Wine.

Cinven Ltd., the U.K. private equity firm that owns Pizza Express, moved its fund-management division to Guernsey, a decision that may help reduce its tax bill as it raises a 5 billion-euro ($6.6 billion) leveraged buyout fund.
The change, implemented in the past weeks, also includes switching the structure of the company to a limited-liability partnership, Vanessa Maydon, a spokeswoman for the London-based firm, said by e-mail today. The move is intended to help Cinven better manage partners' appointments and departures, she said.
"The limited liability partnership structure is not a way of avoiding employer National Insurance" contributions, Maydon said. "Partners will now officially be self-employed and will, therefore, have to pay National Insurance themselves," so "the tax contribution from the firm and its partners in the U.K. is likely to go up substantially."
Financial News reported the change earlier today. The London-based firm had raised almost half of the 5 billion euros it is seeking for European leveraged buyouts, people with knowledge of the fundraising said in November.

Nokia Had a Production-Ready Web Tablet 13 Years Ago
Soulskill posted about 9 months ago | from the beginning-of-the-end dept.
272An anonymous reader writes "Here's another story of a tech gadget that arrived before its time. Nokia created a web-ready tablet running EPOC (later to be renamed as Symbian) thirteen years ago. The tablet was set to go into full production, and they actually built a thousand units just before it was canceled. The tablet was scrubbed because market research showed there wasn't demand for the device. The team got devices for themselves and the rest were destroyed. The team was then fired. The lesson: Don't try to be pioneer if you're relying on market research studies."

C2C promotes "the notion that consumers can serve a role in getting product to other consumers," says Esper. He speaks of "collaborative consumption," the trend of consumers participating in self-made buying and selling communities. As a result, they can play a key role in getting product to the final buyer.
The trend is being driven in large part by social media, although consumers have always engaged in some form of exchange, Esper says. More recently, the growth of mobile technology has caused that practice to take off. Supplementing mobile communications is a reliance by consumers on popular websites such as eBay and Craigslist. The internet, says Esper, "plays a really big part in allowing consumers to engage with one another."
Some manufacturers are concerned that consumer-driven exchanges create a competitive alternative market, and a threat to maintaining the quality of service. Esper says the practice addresses demand for product that the original supplier is unable to fulfill. But there is particular concern about the implications for luxury goods, which tend to be accompanied by an "overall experience" created by an authorized retailer. C2C exchanges are "a potential threat against ensuring that the experience is holistic," he says.
C2C also presents suppliers with the challenge of forecasting demand. "It's one thing to forecast when people will buy your product," says Esper. "It's another to know why." The initial buyer might immediately sell the product to another party, essentially playing the role of unauthorized distributor.
Retailers and manufacturers are trying to leap onto the C2C bandwagon by embracing crowdsourcing. They're hoping to use in-store shoppers to deliver orders to consumers who shopped on line. "Companies are at least thinking about it," says Esper. "It's starting to open up some really interesting doors."

The President's Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW) at CSULB has completed the selection process for its Fourth Annual Advancement of Women Awards
The commission honors a student, a staff member, an administrator and a faculty member who actively contribute to the advancement of women on campus through their scholarship, teaching, organizational work, campus community service or any other form of support for women at CSULB.
All women and men who are current members of the campus community were eligible for the award.
The administrator honored this year was Sandra Cynar, Associate Dean in the College of Engineering, while faculty honors went to Sharon Guthrie, co-chair/coordinator Graduate Studies, Department of Kinesiology, College of Health and Human Services. The award-winning staff member was Kim Hinckson, ASI Government Advisor, Associated Students, Inc., and the student winner was Zion Redie, a candidate for Bachelor of Arts in psychology.
Each winner received a plaque at the Spring Women's Research Colloquium in April, where they were recognized for their support of women at CSULB. In addition, the names of the winners were included on a perpetual plaque, which is displayed in the Women's Resource Center.
