Wi-Fi Light Bulbs Shipping Soon
Soulskill posted about a year and a half ago | from the please-tell-me-i-can-play-quake-on-my-light-bulbs dept.
401An anonymous reader writes "Computerworld has an interview with an Australian startup called LIFX, producing WiFi-connected LED light bulbs. Each light bulb is a small computer running the Thingsquare distribution of the open source Contiki operating system that creates a low-power wireless mesh network between the light bulbs and connects them to the WiFi network. The wireless mesh network lets the light bulbs be controlled with a smartphone app. Through a Kickstarter project, the company has already raised a significant amount of money: over one million USD.

Pop Century is cool I stayed there twice last year. They have 3 pool I like the foodcourt better and they do have their own buses.I also enjoyed the theming. Have fun wherever you end up staying
We have stayed at All-Star Movies 3 times before and it is my oldest Son's absolute favorite!! Unfortunately when I tried calling today it was not available for the dates in June that we would like to go. The CM helped me secure the AP rate for the Pop Century which we have never stayed at. The CM suggested that if I have my heart set on staying at ASM to keep trying to call back and hopefully there will be a cancellation that I can pick up. My questions to those of you out there who have possibly stayed at both is which do you prefer and why. I know that Pop has it's own buses, but does it make that big of a difference? And if we do stay at Pop is there a good building to request that isn't considered a "preferred" site. It is not necessary to be by the pool, but we do like to be as close as possible to the food court and buses. Thanks anyone who helps!
Pop Century is cool I stayed there twice last year. They have 3 pool I like the foodcourt better and they do have their own buses.I also enjoyed the theming. Have fun wherever you end up staying
we are going in sept 2005 and are staying at POP i requested the 70's building which doesnt have a pool (pools open to midnight=toddler no sleep cause of noise) and is supposedly a decently close distance to the buses....have fun and check out the neat car parked behind the main hall
If you like the All-Stars then try Music. Many of the buildings have had total rehabs.
We will be staying at PC in November because the DW wants too. However, I would rather stay at ASMo.
That said, from what I have read PC has gotten mixed reviews. Yes, it is new and has lots to see, but it is also BIG, and the bus service is not as good as the All-Stars.

We had a family trip this past October where we stayed in Pop Century. There were 19 of us. We had 5 rooms facing the lake (the yo yo building??). The parking was a bit far of a walk (for the 4 elders). Overall it was okay. Very busy since it's the newest hotel. I have stayed at AS sports, music, and movies. They are very similar. My favorite was this past June we stayed at PO FQ... NICE!!! Very quiet. We are going back this June for our honeymoon and we are staying in CBR. I've been there three times prior but it's the first time for my soon to be husband. I let him choose the hotel this year.
Pop and the All-Star Resorts are pretty much laid out the same way, the rooms and the grounds are the same, the only difference is that the statues are different cause the theme is different. The one thing I like about Pop is that it has it's own bus transportation, where the All-Star you sometimes share with Sports and Music. Pop takes you to and from with no other stops. I have always stayed at either Music or Movies, but last year we stayed at Pop and that is where I am staying again this year.

I prefer Pop Century. The nostalgia standpoint is great. Check out all the shadow-boxes in the lobby. Memories will come flying back to you. I have stayed in the 50's buildings and the 90's buildings. The 90's is too far away. Try to request the 50's. We stayed poolside and I didn't hear any extra noise from it late at night. Hope you have a great time. (We'll be there May 18-22. YEA!!!)
We've stayed at ASMu several times, and Pop during our last trip in January 05. Pop was very clean and very quiet, although I'm sure it can get noisier during the busier time of year. We were in the 50s building facing the lake, and could see and hear Illuminations from our balcony on the 3rd floor.
I had heard how spread out Pop was, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the 50s and 70s buildings were only a couple minutes' walk to the buses and food court. It took longer to get to the parking lot than to the front of the main building to catch the bus. In fact, some of the rooms in the preferred 60s building were actually farther away than rooms in the 50s and 70s.
The 50s buildings had huge Lady and the Tramp icons, and a nice bowling pin shaped pool. The 70s buildings don't have their own pool, but it's a very short walk to the Hippy Dippy Pool right behind the main building (I can't think of the name of that building right now).
Half the fun of WDW is exploring all the fun things to do, and trying out a new resort is part of that fun. If you can't get a room in ASMo, go for Pop Century and enjoy it. Better yet, go ahead and reserve that Pop room!
I am going in October and staying at Pop. I requested the 50's building based on something I read. What is the parking like? I will have a car to drive around so I won't have to worry about the buses. Is there anything here that is a "must see?"
We always came back late from the parks and the parking lot was pretty full close to the 50's buildings, so we had a bit of a hike to get back to our room. If you request bldgs 1 or 2 in the 50's buildings, you'll be closer to the parking lot. We were in bldg 3 which was very quiet but farther away.
We enjoyed walking around the grounds through the various Pop buildings and taking pictures of the giant icons. There is a giant foosball team, Mickey phone, Big Wheel, lots of other fun stuff. You don't have to use the swimming pool closest to your building, you can walk over to the popular Hippy Dippy Pool between the 60's buildings. There is also a fountain play area with rubberized footing that kids love to run around in. A small playground is also located between the main building and the 70's(?) building. They will show you a map at check-in, or you can find one, along with pictures of the resort, at www.AllEArsNet.com. You can call WDW reservations ahead of time and request a certain building, or you can wait til you check in and request one, but it's better to do it ahead of time. They can't guarantee you'll get what you request, but we've always been lucky and our requests have been honored.
Take advantage of Disney buses. When we go we only use their transportation. Especially with the cost of gas right now. The 50's building was great. We stayed there last March. It's not too close or too far from the lobby. Make sure you check out the shadowboxes in the lobby. There are things in it that you'll see and say "I had one of those" It brought back alot of memories for me.Originally Posted by SnwhtNdwrfs

Ducks can't make it two in a row
Oregon couldn't repeat its hot shooting performance from Sunday at Washington State, falling 67-58 to Southern California tonight in McArthur Court. The Ducks were 6-of-19 from three-point range, after going 12-of-22 in Pullman, and they committed 21 turnovers.
The Ducks' final six points were desperation three-pointers by Taylor Lilley and Micaela Cocks in the final minute, keeping the final margin from surpassing double digits. Oregon tied a school record for losses in a season, with at least three games left on the schedule. (CORRECTION: This is not the case. School record is 18 defeats.)
Oregon (11-16, 5-11) matched the Trojans with 40 percent shooting, and each hit 16 free throws. The rebound margin was just two in favor of USC. But while the Ducks committed 21 turnovers, the Trojans committed just 10, giving USC 15 more field-goal attempts.
Lilley had 13 points to lead the Ducks, Nicole Canepa added 11 and Tamika Nurse scored 10. Nadia Parker had a game-high 17 points for USC.
Thanks to some friendly whistles, the Ducks repeatedly got to the free-throw line after halftime and clawed to within as few as three. But USC pulled away as the half wore on, and 11-of-14 free throws in the final 90 seconds to hang on.
The Ducks return to the court Saturday afternoon against UCLA.
A cold patch midway through the first half for Oregon contributed to a 31-23 halftime deficit. The score was tied at 9-9 after a Victoria Kenyon basket, after which the Trojans went on a 14-5 run. Turnovers and an inability to score in the post hurt the Ducks, as they were forced to rely on outside shots most of the half.
USC led 23-14 when the Ducks got going again, and Oregon shaved a point off its deficit before the half ended.
Oregon committed 12 first-half turnovers, leading to a seven-shot deficit to USC. The Trojans made 13-of-29 shots, while the Ducks were 9-of-22. Taylor Lilley hit two three-pointers for a team-high six points, while Allison Jaskowiak scored seven to lead USC.

The Rubin Karma-Con: Studio Salon
Karma-Con: Studio Salon
Enjoy an evening of comics and cocktails and watch the creative process in process! A coalescing of new and old, comic artists and illustrators take a modern view of the ancient Buddhist symbol, the Wheel of Life. Visit the museum to meet artists, Molly Crabapple, Ben Granoff, Josh Neufeld, Michael Kupperman, and Katie Skelly as they create initial sketches, sell and sign their work, and share their processes of creation in an open studio setting.
The Wheel of Life is a visual 1-0-1 of Buddhist doctrine; a reminder of our Karmic responsibility to remove ourselves from the world of suffering. In conjunction with the exhibition, Hero, Villain, Yeti: Tibet in Comics, eight contemporary artists have been invited to reinterpret segments of the Wheel of Life based on their own spiritual and artistic experiences in a three-part series event: Karma-Con. Join the Rubin Museum of Art and comic artists and illustrators Molly Crabapple, Sanya Glisic, Ben Granoff, Rodney Greenblat, Steven Guarnaccia, Michael Kupperman, Josh Neufeld and Katie Skelly in taking a new perspective on this ancient religious image.
The Wheel of Life: (bhavachakra, srid pa'i 'khor lo) acts as a representation of samsaric existence for Buddhist practitioners. The Wheel of Life is thought to have been drawn by Shakymuni Buddha himself as a way to simply illustrate the six realms, interdependent existence and the sources of suffering.
Each artist has been given a different segment of the Wheel of Life to reinterpret:
Molly Crabapple – Hell
Sanya Glisic – Three Spiritual Poisons & The Dark and Light Path
Ben Granoff – Lord of Death
Rodney Greenblat – Animals
Steven Guarnaccia – Hungry Ghosts
Michael Kupperman – Twelve Links of Dependent Origination
Josh Neufeld – Humans
Katie Skelly – Gods/Demigods

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Crystal!
Facts about Crystal
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Crystal's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Crystal was rescued from a local shelter, along with her SEVEN BABY BOYS!! Now her boys are all grown up and finding forever homes of their own, so Crystal is ready for a forever home of her own. She's been a loving mom, and is a very sweet cat. She's got gorgeous eyes, and a cute little meow! She'd love to just hang out with you and keep you company on these cold winter nights coming soon! You will not regret giving this wonderful kitty a place in your family!
Other Pets at Texoma Pets Alive
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Crystal, a Hurst Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Hurst, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Hurst.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hurst 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 Hurst breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hurst paves the way for another one to be saved.

You attach the word "space" to anything and you've got my interest, so when I stumbled upon Freeze-Dried Ice Cream with a picture of a rocket ship on the front, I pretty much erupted with joy.
Freeze-Dried Ice Cream is the real deal; it's what NASA astronauts eat when they want to indulge in an icy delicious treat. The futuristic food comes in neopolitan flavors of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate, but what I'm really curious about is the texture of the stuff. Is it harder or softer than regular ice cream? Is it icier? Does chocolate taste the same in space as it does on Earth? So many questions that can only be answered by giving this exciting intergalactic treat a try.

"These cards matched the save the date, invitations and response cards we ordered for my daughter's fall wedding. With the special the website had for thank you notes when we placed our total order, they were less expensive than simple thank you cards from the big box stores."
"These cards are so pretty. They are perfect for our garden wedding. We will be very proud to send them to thank our family and friends after our wedding!"
"This card is definitely 'clean' and classy. The design and color is a sophisticated in person as it is online. I used the same theme for my wedding invites, menus,place cards, etc...and we received many, many compliments. The only negative is that the was not an indentation to easily fold the card, so it creates a faint wrinkle and is a little inconvenient."

- Shroud usually refers to an item, such as a cloth, that covers or protects some other object. The term is most often used in reference to burial sheets, mound shroud, grave clothes, winding-cloths or winding-sheets, such as the famous Shroud of Turin or Tachrichim that Jews are dressed in for burial. Traditionally, mound shrouds are made of white cotton, wool or linen, though any material can be used so long as it is made of natural fibre. Intermixture of two or more such fibres is forbidden, a proscription that ultimately derives from the Torah, viz., Deut. 22:11.
- also known as 寿衣
- Shroud: On a sailboat, the shrouds are pieces of standing rigging which hold the mast up from side to side. There is frequently more than one shroud on each side of the boat.

Dear Pilots,
Within a few minutes you can download version 1.027 of Rise of Flight to your PCs.
With the release of 1.027, work on the next huge update to the project begins, which includes seaplane technology and the new Channel map. Immediately after the release our big 1.026 update with weapon mods that greatly changed in-game combat, we began to focus on the new map and the new aspects of the physical world. Work on the map recently went into the alpha testing stage. It should be said that we are not just changing the shape of the coast, the map will include many innovations, which previously did not exist in our project and some will be made for the first time in our genre. Now we are in the process of building the road network on both coasts. The next step is placement of cities, including coastal ones, which will include new buildings, piers, lighthouses, harbor cranes and docks. We continue to work on new water and on other non-trivial tasks, such as graphics technology for the connection of rivers and the sea. Despite the fact that nature is very organic and everywhere in the real-world, it's not an easy task to depict on a computer screen. However, we are very pleased with the result we have gotten so far.
In our work on our first seaplane, we passed the most important stage – the first takeoff and landing on water. The result exceeded our expectations and is very similar to what we see in the video. Of course, a lot of work still needs to be done in the aviation aspect of the update and double-check and update our work several times, but it was very important to convey the feeling of landing on water and not to simply make "another kind of landing." We hope to soon please you with some test videos.
We have already showed you a picture of new water rendering techniques that we created specifically for sea maps. Judging by the reaction on the forums, you liked our work, even at this early stage. It inspires and helps us to solve such complex problems, but the image does not convey the dynamic part of the concept of "sea". And today we show a short video in which a familiar ROF barge is put in the new water. This video will help you form an impression about the technology itself. Of course, you will have many questions and we will prepare a separate more detailed story for a blog with answers, videos and pictures in the future. Until then we answer the most important question - yes, we were able to make this technology work on the mid-range PCs. Current tests by our core test team prove this is true. We really wanted to do this to not only be revolutionary and beautiful, but above all, make it accessible to most users with average personal computers.
And now let's discuss version 1.027. We are worried that you're constantly waiting for new items and it can get pretty boring to wait. To brighten up this expectation in the last summer months we have prepared the update with Personal Package 2 for you.
We see that you liked the idea of playing a shooter in the simulator and the first pilot personal package is very popular among ROF users. So we decided to increase the number of pistols. This content diversifies the game and will restore some historical accuracy as well. Pilots from different countries may prefer different guns. Here are some pictures of our reconstituted samples:
Each of them has unique features. Of course, we are still have to deal with some limitations, so there are some simplifications, but in general, as always, we have tried to create the most realistic models of weapons.
We've also included some new streamers with a checkerboard pattern in this new personalization pack. Streamers have proven a popular way to distinguish yourself on the battlefield and compliment squadron skins. The Pilot Personalization Pack 2 can be purchased in the ROF Store for $7.99.
Also in this version we fixed some bugs and added some features. For example, now there is a new logic for balloons. Now the ground crew will try to lower the balloon to the ground as soon they see a threat to the lives of observers and raise it as soon as the threat has passed. This is entirely consistent with history. This tactic is well documented on both sides of the front, to save the lives of courageous observers and to deprive the pilot of a kill. Info about this new balloon logic and all the changes in version 1.027 you can read on our forum as usual.
We go back to work on the next update. We wish you continued success in your air battles!

I have a variegated African Violet that I started from a leaf cutting in a 4" pot. It is about a year old and I see at least five plants crowded into one pot. I would like to know how and if I can divide it safely. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hmmm - why did you wait so long? Yes - let them dry - so the plants won't be too brittle - and accurately disassemble them. You can remove the bottom leaves of the young plants if they get tangled. You probably lose some roots - so when you plant them in separate small pots - keep them covered for a week or 2 - in a transparent shoe box - out of direct sunlight. Do not be afraid - provided you give them a little TLC afterwards- all of them will survive- even rootless ones - they root easily. Irina |
Thank you, I'll try that before my next watering this weekend. |
Well: I went for it, and all looks well. I got nice root balls on three and one s roots. I'm just treating that one as a cutting. All four had healthy stems and crowns. I removed the older leaves to avert extra stress, and a few more on the "cutting". I then carefully watered them in after placing them in a lower light room for a few days so I can watch them. So far, no apparent wilt but I have bags ready if they do. Thanks for the quick response, as my poor guys were starting to look like the Three Stooges all trying to get thru the door at once LOL. |

What I'm Wearing Today:
- American Apparel gray T-shirt
- Floreat polka dot skirt
- Eloise tulle slip
- black tights
- brown heels from Urban Outfitters
I don't think I would normally wear this outfit on a usual work-from-home day. As much as I love the tulle slip it drives me nuts after a while because it never lays flat. But besides that, I love this skirt! I mean, what is more fun than big polka dots paired with yellow tulle? Nothing!

Vegabond As it says on the top of the thread you just say you want to join, send your info to snboyken & she will pair you up with a partner - you will send to one person and someone else will send to you. It's fun because you open up a box of suprises. Minimum send is 4 cuttings, plants etc, I send more but like it says on top not to be upset if you only get 4.

I sent Simplylisa's box last wednesday--I am getting worried--hope she has them and just hasn't posted yet??? Jeanette |
I received my box from Kenkesha and received Cuban Oregano Although the cuban oregano lost all it's leaves and the wanderng jew split in threes (I'll try to root them) they are all alive and taken care of! Thanks Kenkesha! |
squazon, The Cuban oregano is pretty tough. If the leaves still have their color, they should root. Wandering Jew is so fragile, but easy to root. All had roots at shipping,so try moist soil mix -not just the bagged stuff (let me know if you need details) Did you get the keychain? |

Debbiedo7, I checked on your box today at the Post Office since even I can't get the number to work. The guy there couldn't even find it on their computer and I even had the receipt there to show him. Please let me know if you received today and just haven't had a chance to post yet. He is going to try and find out what happened with the number not workning. If you haven't gotten it yet they are probably not going to make it. I am going to send you out a fresh one in the morning as I take my son to school. I will post the new conf # when I get back. I am so sorry the new box will be late but maybe it will turn out good and you'll get them both. LOL I hope so. Ok I'm off to pack you a new box. Hugs, |
Ok, starting sign ups today for round 5. We will use the 23rd as last day to send. That gives us a little over two weeks, Debbiedo, let me know when you receive your pkg so I can close this one out. Hope all enjoyed. |
Lisa, I haven't recievd any box as yet. If you mailed the replacement on friday then maybe it will arrive tomorrow. What is the new confirmation number? Thanks, Debbie |

La pedagogie interculturelle : entre multiculturalisme et universalisme
Martine A. Pretceille
File (.pdf)
AbstractThe author intends to show that intercultural education is characterized by two conflicting approaches - an exacerbation of differences, and a universalism that, unfortunately, tends to be confused with the ethical principle of universality. Indeed, the treatment of cultural heterogeneity implies lean analysis and action from a moral and pragmatic philosophical viewpoint, that understands the practices, discourses and behaviours as rooted not in culturally distinct, homogeneous and hermetic categories, but rather as part of a process of miscegenation and "creolization". Learning to observe, listen, and be attentive to others is the way in which we experience otherness, while avoiding what one may call the "learning of a culture". This experience has to be acquired and developed. Thus, taking into account culture does not mean the mere introduction of an additional variable, but mainly aims to build up a humanism of the otherness.

Gates Findings Support NIET's TAP System for Evaluation and Support of Teachers
NIET Statement on Gates Foundation Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) Study
On January 8, the Gates Foundation released the final findings from a three-year study of teacher performance and evaluation. We are pleased that the nine guiding principles to policymakers and practitioners (PDF) designing effective evaluation systems affirm what we have learned from implementing TAP over the past decade in schools across the country:
- Set Expectations.
The TAP Teaching Standards differentiate levels of teaching across 19 indicators of practice. This level of detail provides teachers and evaluators with a common language to describe and discuss teaching practice. - Use Multiple Measures.
TAP combines multiple teacher observations with student achievement growth measured both at the classroom level, where available, and schoolwide. Additionally, all TAP teachers receive feedback from an annual responsibility survey. - Balance Weights.
Student achievement growth is a significant factor in overall TAP teacher and principal evaluations. This is balanced with other measures such as classroom observations by multiple trained and certified observers over the course of the school year, ensuring that different measures of performance are balanced in overall evaluations. - Monitor Validity.
TAP allows teachers and administrators to compare their observation scores with summative student achievement gains on an annual basis to monitor the validity of various measures of performance. TAP also provides teachers with many opportunities to compare their observation scores with formative student growth measures during the course of the year. - Ensure Reliability.
TAP calls for four to six observations of full lessons for each teacher every year. Observations must be done by at least three different observers who are trained and certified annually. Data systems track reliability of evaluation results in multiple ways. - Assure Accuracy.
TAP requires that any evaluator be trained and certified before evaluating a teacher. To become certified, evaluators must observe a full lesson and score it on all 19 indicators. Their scores must come within one point of the overall score of expert national raters. In addition, evaluators must be recertified annually. The TAP System Training Portal, complete with a video library of nationally rated lessons, training modules, evaluator certification/re-certification, and the TAP CODE educator evaluation data systemamong other toolshelp to ensure TAP's validity, reliability and accuracy. - Make Meaningful Distinctions.
TAP's evaluation system produces much more valid performance ratings than do traditional teacher evaluations. TAP's observational measure of classroom instruction represents a true distribution of teacher performance even before value-added student learning gains are calculated.Inflated Teacher Evaluations in Traditional Systems
Observational Ratings in TAP Schools Differentiate among Levels of Performance
- Prioritize Support and Feedback.
TAP's dual goals are to accurately measure performance and support improvements in practice. Support is provided by master and mentor teachers through weekly group professional development sessions as well as individual one-on-one coaching in and outside of the classroom. - Use Data for Decisions at All Levels.
TAP enables schools to use teacher and student data to make decisions at all levels. These data are used to select, train and monitor effective teacher leaders who are evaluators and providers of professional support in their schools. Data are used to provide classroom teachers with specific support for improvement. Data are also used to drive a coherent professional growth and development plan at the school and district levels. Data are used to ensure that high-need schools and students in the district have equitable access to effective and highly effective teachers.
The experiences of TAP schools across the country confirm what the Gates MET study foundgood evaluation tools and quality implementation can significantly improve teacher evaluation both in terms of more accurately assessing performance and providing detailed feedback for improvement.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Zedeki'ah was twenty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamu'tal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. | 1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. |
2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoi'akim had done. | 2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done. |
3 Surely because of the anger of the LORD things came to such a pass in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedeki'ah rebelled against the king of Babylon. | 3 It was because of the LORD's anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence. Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
4 And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadrez'zar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and they laid siege to it and built siegeworks against it round about. | 4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. They camped outside the city and built siege works all around it. |
5 So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedeki'ah. | 5 The city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. |
6 On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city, that there was no food for the people of the land. | 6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city had become so severe that there was no food for the people to eat. |
7 Then a breach was made in the city; and all the men of war fled and went out from the city by night by the way of a gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, while the Chalde'ans were round about the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. | 7 Then the city wall was broken through, and the whole army fled. They left the city at night through the gate between the two walls near the king's garden, though the Babylonians were surrounding the city. They fled toward the Arabah, |
8 But the army of the Chalde'ans pursued the king, and overtook Zedeki'ah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. | 8 but the Babylonian army pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his soldiers were separated from him and scattered, |
9 Then they captured the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence upon him. | 9 and he was captured. He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. |
10 The king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedeki'ah before his eyes, and also slew all the princes of Judah at Riblah. | 10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he also killed all the officials of Judah. |
11 He put out the eyes of Zedeki'ah, and bound him in fetters, and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. | 11 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon, where he put him in prison till the day of his death. |
12 In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month--which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrez'zar, king of Babylon--Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the bodyguard who served the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem. | 12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. |
13 And he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down. | 13 He set fire to the temple of the LORD, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down. |
14 And all the army of the Chalde'ans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls round about Jerusalem. | 14 The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the imperial guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem. |
15 And Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poorest of the people and the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the artisans. | 15 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the rest of the craftsmen and those who had gone over to the king of Babylon. |
16 But Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen. | 16 But Nebuzaradan left behind the rest of the poorest people of the land to work the vineyards and fields. |
17 And the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chalde'ans broke in pieces, and carried all the bronze to Babylon. | 17 The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the bronze Sea that were at the temple of the LORD and they carried all the bronze to Babylon. |
18 And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the dishes for incense, and all the vessels of bronze used in the temple service; | 18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and all the bronze articles used in the temple service. |
19 also the small bowls, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the dishes for incense, and the bowls for libation. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver. | 19 The commander of the imperial guard took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls used for drink offerings--all that were made of pure gold or silver. |
20 As for the two pillars, the one sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under the sea, and the stands, which Solomon the king had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these things was beyond weight. | 20 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands, which King Solomon had made for the temple of the LORD, was more than could be weighed. |
21 As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, its circumference was twelve cubits, and its thickness was four fingers, and it was hollow. | 21 Each of the pillars was eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference; each was four fingers thick, and hollow. |
22 Upon it was a capital of bronze; the height of the one capital was five cubits; a network and pomegranates, all of bronze, were upon the capital round about. And the second pillar had the like, with pomegranates. | 22 The bronze capital on top of the one pillar was five cubits high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar. |
23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about. | 23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; the total number of pomegranates above the surrounding network was a hundred. |
24 And the captain of the guard took Serai'ah the chief priest, and Zephani'ah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold; | 24 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest next in rank and the three doorkeepers. |
25 and from the city he took an officer who had been in command of the men of war, and seven men of the king's council, who were found in the city; and the secretary of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city. | 25 Of those still in the city, he took the officer in charge of the fighting men, and seven royal advisers. He also took the secretary who was chief officer in charge of conscripting the people of the land and sixty of his men who were found in the city. |
26 And Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. | 26 Nebuzaradan the commander took them all and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. |
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried captive out of its land. | 27 There at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed. So Judah went into captivity, away from her land. |
28 This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadrez'zar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews; | 28 This is the number of the people Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews; |
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrez'zar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons; | 29 in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem; |
30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrez'zar, Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. | 30 in his twenty-third year, 745 Jews taken into exile by Nebuzaradan the commander of the imperial guard. There were 4,600 people in all. |
31 And in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoi'achin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, E'vil-mer'odach king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, lifted up the head of Jehoi'achin king of Judah and brought him out of prison; | 31 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Evil-Merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah and freed him from prison on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month. |
32 and he spoke kindly to him, and gave him a seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon. | 32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. |
33 So Jehoi'achin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king's table; | 33 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king's table. |
34 as for his allowance, a regualar allowance was given him by the king according to his daily need, until the day of his death as long as he lived. | 34 Day by day the king of Babylon gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived, till the day of his death. |

Hi, I would like to try harvesting the seeds from my hellebores next summer for seed trading the following winter. I'd like to be able to send hellebore seeds that would germinate in the spring after wintersowing them, but hellebore seeds seem to require a warm/cold/warm cycle instead of just a cold/warm cycle.
is there any way to bring hellebore seeds through their first warm cycle without planting them? Or, will I have to plant the seeds in the summer and then dig them up again in the fall for trading? The reason why I want to trade seeds in winter is that most other (non-hellebore) types of seeds are are not available until fall or winter. Is it even possible/feasable to try doing this? Thanks, Lois in PA |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just so we're clear, best germination will be achieved by sowing the seeds soon after they are harvested, June into July. But, you can provide the first warm moist period after holding the seeds for a few weeks too - not ideal, but close. Minimum of 45 days before you want to mail them, and 60 days would be better, soak the seeds overnight. Place 20-30 seeds in a 2x3" zip lock with approx one or two teaspoons of moist sterile vermiculite or moist sterile sand (not soggy, like wrung out sponge moist)....leave them at room temperature. At the end of the 45-60 days, they will be ready for the moist chill, mailing still in the sealed zip lock in a protective bubble envelope. They can't be allowed to dry again at this point. Just make sure the recipient understands the germination process has been started and on which dates, is clear that he/she is committed - understands they need to be sown chilled at this point and not held until Spring (or until convenient :)) |

Great info, thank you. You even answered a couple questions I didn't think of asking! Good to know about not letting the seeds dry out. That's what I gathered, sowing the seeds fresh is best. I will probably sow a few fresh for myself. But many seed traders are not looking in the seed trading forums in June, and their seeds would not be ready until at least Oct. What would happen if I kept the seeds in the damp sand for more than 60 days? For example, 120 days? Would the seeds rot? Sprout? Thanks again. |
If the damp sand is sterile, they would probably be fine - I haven't kept them as long as 120 days myself. Very occasionally when sown immediately fresh, helleborus seeds might germinate without any of the lengthy temperature changes - but that happens only rarely. I do find the gardeners looking for hellebore seeds often appreciate the chance to have them fresh though, and if experienced understand that means summer. I place my Ashwood order in winter, sow when I receive my seeds in July. |
I have held seeds as long as 120 days myself. They germinate just fine. It is said that the minimum length of time they need to be held warm and moist is 8 weeks. You wouldn't need to hold the seed yourself for 8 weeks as long as you tell the recipient when you put then into warm moist stratification and that they need to let them stay in the baggies at least 8 weeks before starting the cold moist stratification period. The easiest way to do that is to write the date of sewing on the baggie with permanent marker. Just as an aside, it isn't cold enough in my area to start the cold moist stratification period outside after 60 or even 120 days so I put the baggies of seed in the back of the refrigerator until they germinate - yes they will germinate right in the bag in the dark - then I pot them up and put them under lights until time to put the seedlings outside. It works great. It's good of you to offer seed. I'll be checking to see if I can use any. I love Hellebores. |
I am trading hellebore seeds right now. I collect them, keep them in moist soilless mix at room temp for three months, then put them in the fridge. I have germinating hellebore seeds--root growth only, that I package up on moist paper toweling and send in ziplocks to my traders. I tend to trade most of my seeds on the general Seed Trading forum; when the hellebore seed is fresh in June, I find very few people post or check the message board at that time. |

So I've got an interesting technical post for you today. I know I don't normally post technical things here on my blog, but I felt this was such an interesting exercise in triumphing over a big issue here at work that I wanted to post about it.
We call several third-party vendors for web-based services in my department. We're really keen on keeping transaction times low, so we have a set timeout for each vendor to ensure we don't wait too long. Most of our vendor calls are Curl calls, but we have a couple that use Soap.
Curl has built-in functionality to enable a timeout. PHP's internal Soap library does not. Thus, PHP's documentation says to enable the following to set a limit on Soap calls:
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 5); // 5 seconds |
This is all fine and dandy. Or, at least, I thought it was. When we first had an outage with one Soap-based vendor, this timeout mechanism worked correctly. However the second time, it did not. We still waited up to 60 seconds for the call despite our code having not changed. Highly distressing is the word.
I researched this issue at great length, and used one of our own Soap services to test out a theory. I put this into the code:
ob_implicit_flush(); echo " "; sleep(15); |
The ob_implicit_flush() function call forces PHP to send any output as it immediately becomes available. Normally, PHP sends it all at the close of the script, or if you use other output buffering functions. Here, I'm forcing some content to be passed back to the caller then sleeping beyond the wait time of 5 seconds.
The results? It waited. So the socket timeout feature in PHP only applies until you receive content. If you receive any content within the socket timeout interval, it will keep the socket open and continue to wait. The timeout actually serves from the opening of the connection to the reception of content, not the entire length of time the socket will remain open.
Thus, I had to find a new route to keeping our Soap calls short. My next attempt was limiting the script execution time via either of these two functions:
set_time_limit(5); // 5 seconds ini_set("max_execution_time", 5); // 5 seconds |
Unfortunately, this didn't help. First of all, both of these two functions have the exact same effect and use the same underlying PHP functionality. Secondly, they only set limits for internal PHP execution. Any time you have an external data source or blocking system call, this is not calculated in the execution time (at least on Linux; on Windows everything is considered). So any database calls, Soap calls, system calls… These are untimed.
At this point I was at my wits end. I could not figure out a way to limit Soap calls save for building a barebones script to make the Soap call and calling that script with a Curl call.
I ventured into the Soap documentation on the PHP website to see if there was a way I could use the SoapClient class to build the Soap request XML and to parse a Soap response XML into an object, thus allowing me to transport the XML in whatever way I chose. No dice. However, I did discover something interesting while looking at the documentation.
PHP allows you to extend the SoapClient class, I knew that. What I did not know is that you could override certain functions, one of them being __doRequest(). By overriding this function, you can make the request to the remote server however you like.
So I tested this out. And holy crap, it worked. The input to the function is the actual Soap XML, not a Soap object, and the function simply returns the Soap response XML, not an object. It is also passed a few other things, such as the location of the Soap web service. We're in business.
I built a class extending SoapClient and enabled timeout functionality. When a timeout is used, it actually uses Curl for the call and sets the timeout there. When no timeout is required, it uses the default mechanism to send the request. See part of my class below. It may not be totally robust, but hey, I just needed a timeout. And I couldn't give you the entire class functionality either; it's derived from copyrighted code.
class SoapClientTimeout extends SoapClient { private $timeout; public function __setTimeout($timeout) { if (!is_int($timeout) && !is_null($timeout)) { throw new Exception("Invalid timeout value"); } $this->timeout = $timeout; } public function __doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way = FALSE) { if (!$this->timeout) { // Call via parent because we require no timeout $response = parent::__doRequest($request, $location, $action, $version, $one_way); } else { // Call via Curl and use the timeout $curl = curl_init($location); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, FALSE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml")); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $this->timeout); $response = curl_exec($curl); if (curl_errno($curl)) { throw new Exception(curl_error($curl)); } curl_close($curl); } // Return? if (!$one_way) { return ($response); } } } |

Alright, this is Eric Sofge for popularmechanics.com. We're here at CES in Las Vegas and I'm about to play a game using this new dual-view technology. So, if you're looking at the screen right now, you can't really see anything other than sort of a 3D scramble that's 'coz you're not wearing these goggles. So what this is is basically technology that lets you play split screen on the same TV. I'm looking at 1 view while he's looking at a different view. This way, you can't sort of steal the other guy's place in that or see where he is lurking around and shoot her or in my case you can't see how crappy I am at this game right now, but right now, I gotta tell you this looks pretty amazing. Now, I can cheat and hit this little button and see what he is seeing if I do this. There you go. Now looking at him. So you could steal some of his plays but you're gonna be pretty obvious and you're gonna obviously be a jerk.

How about a branding iron for steaks? I had one years ago, that you could specialize steaks per request with M, MW, W and R. |

Hey Glenda, Thanks for the reply. I have never heard of one of these is this the name I would be looking for? Where do you buy them at? |
Geez, it was umpteen years ago, when visiting in Phily. Bet you can find one at any cooking specialty store, or an upscale hardware store that carried grilling supplies. It had a long handle with a black cast-iron cube attached with the letters on each side. Hope you can find one. |
