Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Isra'el, if you will return," says ADONAI, "yes, return to me; and if you will banish your abominations from my presence without wandering astray again; | 1 "If you will return, O Israel, return to me," declares the LORD. "If you put your detestable idols out of my sight and no longer go astray, |
2 and if you will swear, 'As ADONAI lives,' in truth, justice and righteousness; then the nations will bless themselves by him, and in him will they glory." | 2 and if in a truthful, just and righteous way you swear, 'As surely as the LORD lives,' then the nations will be blessed by him and in him they will glory." |
3 For here is what ADONAI says to the people of Y'hudah and Yerushalayim: "Break up your ground that hasn't been plowed, and do not sow among thorns." | 3 This is what the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: "Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns. |
4 "People of Y'hudah and inhabitants of Yerushalayim, circumcise yourselves for ADONAI, remove the foreskins of your heart! Otherwise my fury will lash out like fire, burning so hot that no one can quench it, because of how evil your actions are. | 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done-- burn with no one to quench it. |
5 "Announce in Y'hudah, proclaim in Yerushalayim; say: 'Blow the shofar in the land!' Shout the message aloud: 'Assemble! Let us go to the fortified cities!' | 5 "Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' |
6 Set up a signal toward Tziyon, head for cover without delay. For I will bring disaster from the north, yes, dire destruction. | 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." |
7 A lion has risen from his lair, a destroyer of nations has set out, left his own place to ruin your land, to demolish and depopulate your cities." | 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. |
8 So wrap yourselves in sackcloth, lament and wail, for ADONAI's fierce anger has not turned away from us. | 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. |
9 "When that day comes," says ADONAI, "the king's heart will fail him, likewise the princes'; the cohanim will be appalled and the prophets stupefied." | 9 "In that day," declares the LORD, "the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled." |
10 Then I said, "Oh, Adonai ELOHIM! Surely you have sadly deceived this people and Yerushalayim by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our very throats!" | 10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD, how completely you have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats." |
11 "At that time it will be said of this people and of Yerushalayim: 'A scorching wind from the desert heights is sweeping down on my people.' It is not coming to winnow or cleanse; | 11 At that time this people and Jerusalem will be told, "A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; |
12 this wind of mine is too strong for that. Now I will pass sentence on them." | 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them." |
13 Here he comes, like the clouds, his chariots like the whirlwind, his horses faster than eagles! Woe to us, we are doomed! | 13 Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined! |
14 Wash the evil from your heart, Yerushalayim, so that you can be saved. How long will you harbor within yourselves your evil thoughts? | 14 O Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? |
15 For a voice is announcing the news from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Efrayim: | 15 A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. |
16 "Report it to the nations, proclaim about Yerushalayim: '[Enemies] are coming from a distant country, watching and shouting their war cry against the cities of Y'hudah.' | 16 "Tell this to the nations, proclaim it to Jerusalem: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of Judah. |
17 Like guards in a field they surround her, because she has rebelled against me," says ADONAI. | 17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,' " declares the LORD. |
18 "Your own ways and your actions have brought these things on yourselves. This is your wickedness, so bitter! It has reached your very heart." | 18 "Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" |
19 My guts! My guts! I'm writhing in pain! My heart! It beats wildly - I can't stay still! - because I have heard the shofar sound; it's the call to war. | 19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. |
20 The news is disaster after disaster! All the land is ruined! My tents are suddenly destroyed, my tent curtains in an instant. | 20 Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. |
21 How long must I see that signal and hear the shofar sound? | 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet? |
22 "It is because my people are foolish - they do not know me; they are stupid children, without understanding, wise when doing evil; but they don't know how to do good." | 22 "My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good." |
23 I looked at the land - it was unformed and void - and at the sky - it had no light. | 23 I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone. |
24 I looked at the mountains, and they shook - all the hills moved back and forth. | 24 I looked at the mountains, and they were quaking; all the hills were swaying. |
25 I looked, and there was no human being; all the birds in the air had fled. | 25 I looked, and there were no people; every bird in the sky had flown away. |
26 I looked, and the fertile fields were a desert, all the land's cities were razed to the ground at the presence of ADONAI, before his burning anger. | 26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger. |
27 For here is what ADONAI says: "The whole land will be desolate (although I will not destroy it completely). | 27 This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. |
28 Because of this, the land will mourn and the sky above be black; for I have spoken, I have decided, I will not change my mind, I will not turn back." | 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back." |
29 At the noise of the horsemen and archers, the entire city flees - some plunge into thickets; others climb rocks; all cities are deserted; no one lives there. | 29 At the sound of horsemen and archers every town takes to flight. Some go into the thickets; some climb up among the rocks. All the towns are deserted; no one lives in them. |
30 And you, who are doomed to be plundered, what do you mean by putting on crimson, decking yourselves with jewels and gold, enlarging your eyes with eye make-up? You beautify yourself in vain - your lovers despise you, they seek your life! | 30 What are you doing, O devastated one? Why dress yourself in scarlet and put on jewels of gold? Why shade your eyes with paint? You adorn yourself in vain. Your lovers despise you; they seek your life. |
31 For I have heard a sound like a woman in labor, in anguish giving birth to her first child. It is the sound of the daughter of Tziyon gasping for breath as she spreads her hands: "Woe to me! Everything in me is so weary before the killers." | 31 I hear a cry as of a woman in labor, a groan as of one bearing her first child-- the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands and saying, "Alas! I am fainting; my life is given over to murderers." |

CNBC's Senior Interior Decorator Charlie Gasparino dug deep and reports that upon taking over at Merrill last year, John Thain spent $1.22 million redecorating his office (itemized receipt after the jump). We don't really care either way if JT "gets" to stay at Bank of Amerillwide or not, but please for the love of Angelo Mozilo (who, btw, didn't get any heat for converting his office into a Hollywood Tans in '89), if he does, can it be over the issue of spending $35k on a Porta Potty? This is something we want, nay, need, to hear Ken Lewis get worked up over. If that can't be arranged, we'll settle for Lewis sending a bunch of men over to Thain's office to pee on, and then steal, the 90k rug.
Area rug: $87,784
Mahogany pedestal table: $25,713
19th Century Credenza: $68,179
Pendant Light Furniture: $19,751
4 pairs of curtains: $28,091
Pair of guest chairs: $87,784
George IV chair: $18,468
6 Wall Sconces: $2,741
Parchment waste can: $1,405
Roman Shade Fabric: $10,967
Roman Shades: $7,315
Coffee Table: $5,852
Commode on Legs: $35,115

They need a Wideclops bidet that fires fuck me boots up the asses of BofA's IB division
Total scumbag. Complete waste of human DNA.
Someone out there is seriously leaking info on Thain to destroy his reputation. The inner halls of BAC must be a war right now. -
Dude, the rug really tied the room together.
What, no golden shower? Surely he deserves one.
They need a Wideclops bidet that fires fuck me boots up the asses of BofA's IB division
What does a $43,000 "guest chair" look like?
And I didn't even know $1,400 garbage cans existed. I thought the $5,000 shower curtain was the ne plus ultra of hedonism, but I must say – $1,400 to hold garbage is impressive. -
1 strike. 2 strikes. 3 strikes. THAIN IS OUT.
Gasparino obviously has secret connections with Gay Interior Design Firm…..hmmmm, this is getting more interesting
Also, my rug was stolen
parchment waste can
what a cock
http://www.norwoodantiques.com/products/product.asp?pid=1029 -
@4 You sound like my ex-wife.
What does a $43,000 "guest chair" look like?
@ 7 – it gives you a reacharound then aims the shooting member at Thain's face for the money shot -
#13: Kramer, is that you?
Gasparino needs to learn how to keep his congealed saliva inside his trap out of viewers sight.
A tissue would be another alternative. -
marijuana inc tonight. finally something good out of cnbc
Jesus, $87,000 for two chairs? What the fuck? Seriously, what the fucking fuck?
Grow up kids. Do you all honestly think that Thain sat there and decorated his office? More likely, the facilities people were told a new CEO is coming, and found $1.2 million in their budget to accomodate him. Showed him a few pictures and he nodded yes or no. 1) Think of the facilities budget for ML. That amount would be lost in the rounding. A three day cold snap will increase the heating bills by 5x that much. 2) Most of the stuff on the list is hard assets, not like the $1.2 went down the toilet. It can be sold. This is a hatchet job.
With that budget how is Linen's N Things going out of business???
@12 you sound like you've never seen the Big Lebowski
Pot and trish reagan? Doesn't get any better than that -
Too gabagool drool, didn't wipe.
He's going to need one of these

2) Most of the stuff on the list is hard assets, not like the $1.2 went down the toilet. It can be sold.
Ha, and you probably thought the same thing about all the other assets on bank balance sheets as well right? TARP would be the only buyer of this stuff at what BAC paid for it.
Good luck selling anything just bought through an interior designer at half what he billed you for. -
Complete lack of self-awareness.
Here is an idea for all the layed off securisation bankers.
Pot securistation: warehouse it, package it up, grade it, sell it.
But remember the lessons of recent history, don't fuck up the quality of the underlying assets. -
Too Liberace; didn't read.
@18 – a well deserved hatchet job. Thain has been an ass from the start. Unfortunately Lewis let it go on and on and now it's become a joke. KDL must go as well.
WAIT ! Commode on Legs: $35,115
is that a euphemism for hooker? -
For you back-office employees who furnish your Jersey City studios with pieces from Ikea and Jennifer Convertibles, in refined company a commode is not a toilet, but a curved chest of drawers.
Sayeth the Wikipedia: "The word commode comes from the French word for 'convenient' or 'suitable.'"
"In the English-speaking world, commode passed into London cabinet-makers' parlance by the mid-eighteenth century, to describe chests of drawers with gracefully curved fronts, and sometimes with shaped sides as well, perceived as being in the 'French' taste." -
#18 – Wow. You sound like his PR agent/apologist. Yes, Thain does know what those things cost. Sure he didn't pick them himself, but he had to know what the items cost. Rounding error. Give me a break. These firms were cracking down on all kinds of expense items. His ego (given the ridiculous request for the bonus and then this) must be out of control.
@18 – a well deserved hatchet job. Thain has been an ass from the start. Unfortunately Lewis let it go on and on and now it's become a joke. KDL must go as well.
@12 – So your ex-wife sounds like Jeffrey Lebowski? (aka: The Dude) Can start to see why she is your ex.
they cut back meals from $25 to $20, cut black car service, cut this, cut that…anything more than a cloth cubicle wall with the rest of us is too elaborate for that smarmy, slimy, pig fucking sonofabitch
@20, 35, this aggression will not stand
i'm sure he referenced this beforehand..
http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/26421/shopping/commode_buying_tips.html -
@18 – shhhh – stop interjecting reality. It will only serve to provoke those who wish to wield pitchforks.
@28 – when you figure out what those words you're trying to use mean, come back with some new sentences. -
The Dude: Walter, what is the point? Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the fuck are you… I'm not… We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?
The Dude: My rug.
Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT… Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.
The Dude: Walter, this isn't a guy who built the railroads here. This is a guy… -
$90k buys a rookie Persian rug
Dont even think Isfahan Silk or pre-Shah
Mark-up is also north of 1000% -
Give us pictures! Will the new tax cheating US Treasury Secy get to be a guest in the $4 million BofA private suite at the new Yankee Stadium?
Wait, is this office @ Bryant park, I mean, I would have gone a little more modern if I were him, no?
Obviously, @12 isn't a bowler
Antiques Roadshow is appraising the actual value of the office at $4,832.00
@44 I can get you a toe
To the guy who did not think Thain new about the costs. You do realise you personally signed off these expenses.
it isn't surprising to anyone that the area rug and the guest chairs cost exactly the same, to the dollar?
a $1400 garbage can suggests he contracted with Halliburton "to handle the rebuilding effort." -
@18 haha whatever.
if, after walking in to his office, the thought didn't cross his mind that the furnishings weren't ridiculously expensive he is an idiot and should be gone.
if, after realizing that it might be unwise or otherwise completely inappropriate he should have found out the cost and made some point to exchange the items or otherwise get them out of his office. the hatchet job was successful only because he's an idiot, and, hence, gone.
not all of the 1.22 million is hard assets. there are designer fees, labor fees, and probably extra costs involved in getting it all in order quickly, plus any inability to get anything other than the original price were they to be sold, nevermind the loss of interest. and they will be sold—what idiot of an executive is now going to show up and say, "hey, i'd really love thain's rug?"
and if it was facilities fault because they "had the budget" shouldn't the good ol boy realized, after all the other cost cutting measures, that they might want to take a look at the executive facility budgets?
it doesn't matter whether they used a hatchet or a spiked fucking dildo. he deserves it if for no other reason than sheer stupidity. -
No comments on the fact that those things don't remotely add up to 1.2 million dollars?
No comments as to why they were all stacked on top of each other and guests had to climb the chair mountain or he wouldnt talk to them? -
50, that's an enjoyable image, with the Legged Commode on top. Nice work.
Did the commode have refrigeration capability to store the milk for the causcasians?
I wouldn't hold out much hope for the tape deck…or the Credence.
-BeckyBootFan -
@32 – You're a jackass. Most people wouldn't know trivial crap like that, nor would they car.
@40 – I can't believe it took that long to post the chinaman quote. -
What a greedy shitbag. And to think I used to defend greedy Wall Street jack-legs like him.
If Thain gets fired for wasting 1.2mm on his office, Lewis should be shot for wasting billions on Merrill.
@54 – you writing that from your Boliden chair or did you blow your whole bonus on the Poang?
@57 – 17th Century Setee, actually.
So nobody shops at IKEA anymore

Any clarification around the term "commode on legs?" A picture would be helpful here . . .
Does a commode on legs have a pipe attached, or do you need someone to come in and empty it??

@66: can't you read? the commode has legs, so obviously it walks away and empties itself
Thain > Lewis
Thain's interior decorator > Thain
Thain pulled a fast one on Lewis. Thain's interior decorator pulled a fast one on Thain.
Thain's decorator can now officially be designated as a wall street god ( FYI, you missed the real story. Thain's wife set up the whole gig. Laugh) -
Hang John Thain
@55 A truly greedy person would not waste such amounts of money on trivial items.

A selfie is a picture you take yourself. You see them on Facebook or Twitter and generally involves those duck lips people like to make fun of.
Brazilian designer Butcher Billy has this pretty cool photoshopped group of photos he's created using iconic images of people including the above Johnny Cash and photoshopping them doing something very modern ... taking their own pictures with a cell phone.
My favorite, though, has to be the one below.

Here is a picture of my first rose bloom, which is on my Dick Clark bush. My question is this - I have six healthy looking second year bare roots. This is the only bloom I have, even though a few are close. Is this normal for Eastern West Virginia,Zone 6? Even though I am a newbie rose garden, these roses get ample light and I give them all that I think they need. |

First flush here is usually the first week in June. We are early this year, I am in full flush now (a couple of stragglers) and it looks like you are early this year too. |
Thanks. It just seems like so many others in my area have lots and lots of blooms. Makes me jealous. |
Second year plants are still growing roots. They can take 3+ years to mature, so hang in there! |

I'm getting my first flush now. They should start opening the end of this week. I'm not happy about the bud sizes of some plants. I believe it due to that long dry spell we had |

Hack: Control an R/C Car With Your iPhone
A couple of young Czech whippersnappers have figured out how to use the iPhone's accelerometer to control remote controlled cars.
They say, "Controlling is very easy with the iPhone 3G. It has five buttons, four of them you can use for traditional driving and when you press the last one, it unlocks the accelerometer control in the same way as in many driving games available on AppStore." Check out the video here.
It took them just one afternoon to conjure this up. You can get the full how-to and read more at their website. Nice work, boys, very nice indeed!

When we first learned about the benefits of raw milk (and the harm of pasteurized milk from non-A2 cows) we decided it was worth switching to healthier dairy products. Buying a herd share was a no-brainer first step. Our herd share enables us to obtain raw milk from the cow we lease and yogurt and cheese made from her milk. We're not big milk drinkers so keeping our consumption (both for straight drinking and baking) to 1 gallon a week works fine for us. Unfortunately we're not able to purchase pre-made butter at the same time.
That's too bad because though we don't drink much milk, we do use a lot of butter. A lot. I seriously considered purchasing a second herd share just to have a enough cream for butter making. Unfortunately that's not in the budget at this time. So instead, I've been making a habit of skimming the cream off our weekly gallon of milk and freezing it. I skimmed the milk by pouring it out of a gallon milk jug and into a gallon container with a wide mouth and lid. After a day or so the cream rises to the top and easy to scoop off. (You can see the cream line in the picture below).
After four weeks of skimming I ended up with about 7 cups of cream. These jars look very full, and they are, because of course the cream expands as it freezes. I want to be sure to say that I only filled them about ¾ full before placing them in the freezer. Filling them to the top would cause them to burst.
After collecting to jars' worth of cream, I decided it was time for my maiden voyage into butter-making.
First I put the frozen jars into the fridge (on the bottom shelf because it is the warmest place in my refrigerator). I couldn't tell you exactly how long it took the cream to thaw, but it was somewhere between one-and-a-half and two days. With thawed cream on hand, I was ready to begin.
How to Make Butter from Scratch
These are the tools and ingredients I used:
- 3.5 cups of cream (approximate)
- A blender or food processor
- 1 cup of ice water
- A strainer
- A medium to large sized bowl
- A spatula
- Paper towel or a cheesecloth
- Wax or parchment paper
- Bakers twine
- Salt (optional)

Incubator-CRO/CMO Alliances: Quicker, Cheaper & More Efficient
Wednesday, November 6 2013
4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
N/A (View All)
Location: Biotech 4 at 377 Plantation St, Mass Biotech Research Park, Worcester, MA
The shared space model in conjunction with utilizing external resources provided by local CRO/CMOs provides more efficient options for emerging companies. Startup biotech companies turn to incubation to conserve capital and extend their capabilities through access to shared resources.
"Virtual Companies vs Bricks and Mortar" is an artificial contrast. Most biotech companies, especially startups, are a hybrid model, with deep expertise in a limited area and the need to outsource the rest.
The new wave of outsourcing is becoming as vital to big pharma as it is to startups. Quality, turnaround speed, cost and trust-based relationships are the most important criteria in choosing CRO/CMO partners, and there can be many. The "Distributed Research Model," using different providers for different services, is based solely on who can do what you need the best. Now CROs are becoming incubators to make more efficient use of their resources as well.
Our panelists will provide incubator, CRO/CMO and entrepreneur perspectives on how to:
- Build a solid CMO/CRO service business model
- Select the right real estate/incubator space that meets your scientific and financial requirements/needs
- Create the collaborations and partnerships you need for long term success.
- 4-4:30 Registration, networking & optional tour
- 4:45 Introduction from Michael F. Collins, MD, FACP, University of Massachusetts Medical School Chancellor
- Moderated panel discussion with audience Q&A
- 6-7pm Reception, networking, optional tour
- Marc Bazin, CEO, HepatoChem
- Martha C. Farmer, PhD President & CEO, North Shore InnoVentures
- Jeffrey P. Kiplinger PhD, Founder, President & CEO of Averica Discovery Services
- Ania Knap, Partner & Co-Founder, New England PharmAssociates, LLC
- Kevin O'Sullivan, President & CEO, Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives
- Raj Rajur, PhD, Chairman & CEO, CreaGen Biosciences, Inc.
- Peter Abair, Director of Economic & Global Affairs, MassBio

"Bantam" chickens are smaller or miniature chickens. They range in size from a medium size bird, just slightly smaller than the standard size to a very small bird just larger than a coke can in body size.
Most Bantams are miniature versions of large or standard size fowl. However there are a few that are considered "true bantams" or bantams that dont have standard size counterparts.

Nankin Bantam Hen. They are sweet natured birds, great moms and great to have around.
Bantams typically lay a small egg every other day rather than every day such as a standard layer would do and are kept mainly for thier potential as a show chicken at various fairs or just for the person who maybe just likes to have these little birds around.
(Nankin Rose Comb bantam's colors)
Although I have raised a wide variety of bantam chickens in the past at this time I raise only a few breeds of bantam. The Rhode Island Red Bantam, the Nankin Bantam, Partrdige Wyandotte Bantam and the Brassy Back Old English Bantam.

(Oct. 22) ORLANDO, Fla. — Thousands of young ball players will turn to Sunkist citrus for healthy snacks under a new, three-year deal in which the Sherman Oaks, Calif.-based cooperative's products will become the Official Fresh Snack of Little League Baseball.
The deal begins in 2004 and affords Sunkist Growers Inc. the chance to boost citrus sales and awareness in a new market while helping Little League promote healthy lifestyles for children of all income brackets. Little League does not turn children away even when they can't afford to pay fees, and corporate sponsorships help defray those costs.
"Sunkist looked at this as a tremendous opportunity to bring citrus to an audience that you don't traditionally think of in association with citrus," said Robert Verloop, vice president of marketing for Sunkist. "With soccer, sure, you're used to kids having citrus at halftime, but when you think baseball, you think cotton candy, etc."
Sunkist joins a longstanding list of Little League sponsors that dates back to when U.S. Rubber signed on in 1941. Other sponsors include Snickers, Capri Sun, AT&T, Ace Hardware, Wilson Leather and Russell Athletic.
Verloop hopes not only to reach the children who play Little League Baseball, but also their parents. Sunkist has a slate of educational and promotional programs planned to back the new relationship.
Jud Rogers, vice president of marketing for Little League, said the deal with Sunkist goes hand in hand with Little League's premise of encouraging healthy lives for kids.
"Baseball is the vehicle we use," Roger said. "But our program is healthy development of children in every way. We haven't had a healthy snack. We were unbalanced. This fits well. We've always thought oranges make a lot of sense for baseball. They're easy for mom and dad to do."
Indeed, the deal with Little League — which was initiated when Little League approached Sunkist in May — coincides nicely with several of Sunkist's campaigns.
"This builds on the program we started last year of better snacking," Verloop said. "This is a great opportunity to take citrus and position it against candies and cookies."
And the picture Sunkist is using to promote the deal — two young baseball players smiling into the camera with their lips spread to reveal colorful orange peels — is the runner-up of a contest Sunkist had already conducted, in which consumers sent in pictures of themselves with orange peel smiles.
Backing up the Little League deal, Sunkist will offer educational materials on its redesigned Web site for parents and children alike, as well as team mailings as the new season rolls around.
Andrea Ridl, manager of retail trade development for Sunkist, said even Sunkist packaging will tout its relationship with Little League. Beginning in April, bags of Sunkist navels will feature a picture of the two boys and their Sunkist Smiles. Sunkist also will ship products in cartons with baseball themes and include in-pack promotional and educational materials. During the summer, Sunkist will do the same with bags of valencias.
In addition, Sunkist may increase its sponsorship of Little League state championships and offer samplings at the Little League World Series, which takes place each year in late July or early August, Verloop said. Sunkist also plans to do radio promotions during the Little League World Series, encourage citrus consumption in the dugout and work to boost international promotions in countries such as Japan.
And under the agreement, Sunkist's participating retail partners can get their logos included on promotional materials along with Sunkist's and Little League's.
John McGuigan, vice president of domestic sales for Sunkist, said the Little League promotion also will benefit Sunkist's retail partners.
"Retailers want ways to connect with the community," McGuigan said. "What better way than through Little League?"

@Perdido - My dad had an aortic dissection, and I know how scary that can be for the family. At first, he thought he had experienced a stroke. One side of his body got very weak, so that he could barely lift his arm.
I took him to the hospital, where they kept him overnight before doing the aortogram. They had to keep him from eating or drinking anything past midnight. He had to inform them of all his medications, some of which he had to refrain from taking to get ready for the procedure.
After examination of the aortogram, it was decided that he needed surgery right away. An aortic dissection left untreated can lead to all kinds of bad things, like organ damage, a stroke, or even death by internal bleeding.

chocolate stout cake
People, it's time. The season of decadent foodstuffs has begun. Even though in the past few weeks I've tested new dessert recipes, whipped up a Thanksgiving pie, and attended a cookie party, I decided that a recent weeknight birthday celebration for five called for a three-layer chocolate stout cake. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, because I lightened things up with a whipped cream frosting. Instead of ganache. It's called restraint.
But there's another story to this cake. It's a story with a lesson. And it involves pickles. I spent the morning making quick pickles for a different party, and I fell behind schedule, so the cake went in the oven much later than I'd hoped. So I did what any natural light-loving food blogger does; I stuck the layers in the freezer and hoped that they'd cool down in time for a photo.
They didn't. The frosting melted, layers slid, and my daughters learned a smattering of colorful new vocabulary words. In the end, the cake was immortalized, however messily, and we could get on with the important part–eating it. And that's good because a three layer chocolate stout cake with a barely sweet stout-infused whipped cream tastes really, really good.
A few notes on the recipe. As you may have guessed, the lesson from my story is: Make sure the layers are totally cool before frosting (I'd plan on at least two hours of cool time). And take note, this cake is gigantic. Way too much for five people to eat even in a few days. The whipped cream frosting doesn't hold up beautifully after day one, so you may want to cut back on the recipe. Smitten Kitchen has a lovely bundt version of the cake here, or just halve the recipe and have a more modest two layer cake.
Chocolate Stout Cake (adapted from Bon Appétit via Epicurious)
makes three 8-inch layers
for the cake
2 cups good stout, such as Samuel Smith's or Guinness
4 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups Dutch-process cocoa powder
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 eggs
1 1/3 cups sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 8-inch cake pans, line bottom with a parchment circle, and then butter that too.
In a heavy-bottomed medium-sized sauce pan, heat the butter and stout over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, turn heat to low and whisk in the cocoa. Remove pan from heat, and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl.
Using a hand mixer, or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sour cream together on low speed. Slowly add the cocoa mixture, mixing just until combined. (Scrape down the sides as needed.) Gradually add the flour mixture, and beat just until it is well-incorporated. Turn off the mixer and use a spatula to scrape the sides and catch any stray flour.
Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans, and then slide into the oven. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
After 10 minutes, flip the cakes onto a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
for the whipped cream stout frosting (adapted from Gourmet Live via Epicurious)
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup stout
3 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
Use a mixer or whisk to beat all of the ingredients to stiff (but still supple) peaks. Frost and assemble the cake.
Keep in the refrigerator until your are ready to serve for optimal looks.

I love that cake and I LOVE what you did with the frosting. Gorgeous!!
Why not make two nine inch cakes, freeze one and slice the other horizontal. That might work. Also if your worried about the whipped cream going flat stabilize it. Oh, and only make enough whipped cream for one of the cake layers. I am going to try this as printed first.
I have made this cake and it is fantastic! I made an Irish Cream Buttercream frosting which complimented it beautifully and allowed me to cover it with fondant. I made the fondant into a bottle cap for my husband surprise beer tasting birthday party. I have made whipped cream frosting for other cakes and I have a trick to getting it to hold up in the frig for a few days. You must chill the bowl and whisk attachment and the cream well. I stick the bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. The cream only needs about 5 minutes from frig to freezer. The secret, however, is sprinkling about a teaspoon or two of Knox unflavored gelatin over the whipped cream in the bowl and letting it sit for about 5 minutes and then whisking, adding sugar or vanilla extract or liquor to taste. The gelatin stabilizes it and it will hold up like a bakery cake! I use this method when making strawberry shortcake, my husband's other favorite cake!

Steve, I am sorry you believe this to be spam, and as a matter of fact I had sent emails to the Gentoo lists regarding SCALE, the call for papers, etc. over the past few months. The promotional code that I provided will continue to work but the price will be $35 instead of $30. As far as wanting Gentoo devels there, I have been in contact with both David Shakaryan and Christel Dahlskjaer regarding the Gentoo booth at SCALE. My reason for sending this email out was to make sure any Gentoo devels that were interested in going, got in at the early bird price. Thanks.

Fitness Hashtags That Need to Be Retired
For social media, it seems that going to the gym or doing a physical activity always calls for some showing off and letting others know how much you're working out, getting in shape, losing weight, or sticking to a New Years resolution. But there's a fine line between being a regular everyday athlete or a tool-ish meathead. We all know the type.
Letting your followers know whats up is one thing, but to bombard a timeline with unnecessary, and testosterone-heavy hashtags is a totally different ballgame. Your #GymFlow #GymSwag and #GymProblems can only be tolerated so much. Is it not enough to just let them know you're at the gym? Or must everyone know your #thoughtswhilerunning or what body part you're focusing on today.
It's a controversial topic, while we're all about hitting the gym here is a list of fitness hashtags that blur the line.

Web Browsers Illustrated
Caldwell Tanner is a cartoonist for College Humor and he made this great little cartoon comparing the different browsers to their equivalent modes of transportation…
I found this hilarious, especially when I saw what he chose to represent Firefox. I use Firefox as my main browser, but it's true that it can quickly become overloaded if you use too many add-ons or extensions. A fresh install is always nice when those memory leaks start to bog you down.
I do use Chrome sometimes, especially if I don't want to open all of my saved tabs in Firefox, I've also noticed that it's pretty fast, though in my unscientific tests, it's not faster than Firefox. Still, Chrome and Firefox are getting more and more extensions and add-ons.
Which browser do you use most? And don't say Lynx.

This is such a good depiction, i still love my clunky firefox though
Firefox – I have it configured the way I like it and it does pretty much everything I want it to. Plus now I couldn't live without some of its add-ons :)
haha love it! i use chrome and its fast… made me smile =)
since I joined the Android Army, my Droid's default browser. though I do plan to terry Fennec when it's out.
For the most part, FF .. with some add-ons.
Chrome all the way for me. I like the look, the speed, and the extensions aren't nearly as intrusive as firefox addons.
Firefox user here! Like it for the addons…the speed is pretty decent! great illustrations by the way. Good job. Would love it if you could do a Windows, Mac, Linux (various distros) cartoon which is similar to your browsers cartoon:)
I use Internet Explorer.
I quite like it.
I think I like Internet Explorer the best. Occasionally I use Safari. Never Chrome.
you can configure firefow the way you want and it comes add-on free :) so its up to you if u install all the addons and the other craps. so its firefox for me :D
i never use IE,sometimes i browse in Chrome and the rest i have them installed just for browser testing.
i like internet explorer, and i like horses so yea, internet explorer ftw.
I personally prefer Opera. I think that it looks very nice, although, I have to admit that Firefox is very good too.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted…" Mt. 5.10
Zakaria Hussein Omar, Jama Muktar (17 years old) and Juma Nuradin Kamil were all decapitated because they were Christians. (Read the story here)
Unfortunately, stories like these are not unusual. Jesus told his disciples to expect adversity. He even went so far as to say, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first…No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also." Mt. 15.18ff
Let us pray for our brothers and sisters around the world who live in fear because of their faith.
Let us prepare. I hope I'm wrong but I believe that this kind of persecution is coming to America within our lifetime. I'm not talking about stockpiling weapons and food so that we can hunker down. Quite the opposite. Jesus called us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute. (Mt. 5.44)
Are we ready to love lavishly?

It is no secret that nVidia is currently at the top of the high-end graphics card market. Ever since the release of their GeForce256 GPU, nVidia have completely dominated the market, outperforming any products the competition could throw at them. After acquiring 3dfx, nVidia's only competitor in the high-end graphics market has been ATi. Fortunately for nVidia, until recently ATi hasn't been able to produce anything that can compete with nVidia's products because of their continually poor drivers.
This, however, all changed with ATi's release of their Radeon 8500 GPU. After a few driver revisions, it performed on-par with, if not higher than nVidia's flagship product at the time, the GeForce3 Ti500. Frightened, nVidia was quick to release their GeForce4 range, which consists of three high-end GPUs (Ti4200, Ti4400 and Ti4600), and three low-end GPUs (MX420, MX440 and MX460). All three of their high-end GeForce4 products quite comfortably outperformed the Radeon 8500, which once again sent ATi back to the drawing board.
With ATi's next generation graphics product still quite far away, it seems that nVidia should hold a comfortable lead on the market for some time to come. That brings me to the subject of this review. We have managed to obtain one of MSI's latest graphics cards based on the GeForce4 Ti4400 chipset. This is not the fastest card in the GeForce4 range, however, it looks to be ideal for those who want high-performance at a relatively low price. Read on as we determine if the MSI Ti4400 graphics card is worth your hard-earned dollars.

I can't open any your photos,why? |
- Posted by wigardenerwannabe Z5 WI (My Page) on Thu, Jul 1, 10 at 23:11
I don't know why you can't view the photos...I went in and changed the designation in webshots to 'public' to see if that does the trick. I have walked the neighborhood looking for some inspiration, as you can well imagine there are plenty of homes in the same or similar styles. It seems that many of these homes extended the porch across under the bay window (or their variation of a front window). Many added railings then to enclose this narrow porch. That doesn't thrill me to be honest, as I don't think I'd ever use it, and I'm not crazy about the looks of it. I guess my question would be, if I removed all the existing plantings beside the walkway, and I curved the walkway, would I simply plant a few smaller shrubs along the inside curve...and would the area under the overhang just be left empty? The only thing I've found that grows there are impatients. I'm hoping someone might have some ideas that might help me form a vision of where to go with this. J |
- Posted by lazygardens PhxAZ: Sunset 13 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 2, 10 at 7:00
I would: 1 - Remove that entire wall of overgrown shrubbery. They were cute once, but they are way too tall for the house and location. 2 - Have the contractor make a nice, wide entry area for you 3 - then decide what to do that takes the new walk and the big tree into account. Sometimes a backhoe is the best landscaping tool. |
If you want to keep the shrubbery for privacy, maybe remove some lawn and plant lower plants in front of the evergreens, to "soften" the wall o' green. Or "thin the herd".. that big one right beside the door is a good candidate for... ahem... relocation. A lower planting there would make your entry way more inviting. I'm not a huge fan of evergreen foundation plantings.. you could try some deciduous stuff with contrasting foliage in front/around the shrubs. Many are very cheap as younglings. |
At a minimum I'd trim the shrubs to make the front of your home more welcoming. Trim them even more than I did, but you get the idea (I don't have photoshop so my drawing is rather crude). A new curved concrete or paver sidewalk would make it more inviting. |
- Posted by wigardenerwannabe Z5 WI (My Page) on Fri, Jul 2, 10 at 11:16
Thanks so much for your feedback. I have had the same thoughts as you are all sharing. The yard looks totally overgrown as you had noted. I trimmed back all the front shrubs yesterday, but it still only looks marginally better. Of course I'm a little scared off, as I've heard the root systems on the evergreens are monstrous, so I may need to hire this out. Hilltop, thanks for the mockup. It is similar to what I'm thinking and gives me an idea of what it might look like. If I put down a red brick walkway to tie it into the house brick, would that look awkward with a cement step since I'd prefer not to have to replace that? |
You can mix materials just fine, especially if you have brick elsewhere in your environment and if you choose the right material for the job it will look right. The root systems on the evergreens need not be the big burden you are thinking. You can just cut those shrubs off at the trunk and most probably won't re-sprout from the base - the odd one might, then you just keep cutting off any new growth and it will eventually die. I can't tell if you have any real bad suckering shrubs in there; those you may have to chase the roots with a shovel for a bit. But mostly you can just leave the roots to rot for a while before taking on the sidewalk; it may take some time to think about what walk you want. Maybe the entry will already look good without all that shrubbery. I'd be more concerned about the roots of the tree. I can't really tell how much room you've got, but the new sidewalk you have in mind will almost undoubtedly interfere with those roots. That's not good for the tree, nor, in the long run, for the sidewalk. I would do the shrub removal first and then look at what you've got. Update this thread with new pictures at that stage if you want more input. KarinL |

1. A call from an old friend. A phone call from an old flame? How risky! As one fellow explained to me, "When she contacted me via LinkedIn, there was a sense of titillation, and then she continued to reach out to me."
The moral of the story: If you don't want to catch fire, stay far from the sparks. They are fun and often prove too dangerous to be worth the mini-delights of minor sexual pleasures. The two highest risk categories for dangerous connections are old flames and current business associates, especially ones that you spend a lot of time with.
2. A fragile relationship situation. When a relationship or marriage feels frustrating it can be all the more tempting to slide into connecting with someone who seems easily kind, easy to talk with or appreciative of you. Have you two communicated effectively through the blockages to smooth sailing with each other? If not, it's time to start! If your skills are insufficient, upgrade them!
3. Hiding that you are already taken. If in the course of our talking with a lovely person of the opposite sex, you find yourself avoiding mention of the fact that you have a stead or are married, you are heavily already into the danger zone. Beware especially because as sexual feelings toward a new person grow, your recollections of how and why you chose that person as a mate will fade.
That's because of the nature of old versus new sexual feelings and new potential sexual partners virtually always evoke more intense sexual feelings. That says nothing about how good a match they could be for you; it's just a biochemical thing about how sexuality works. New trumps familiar — but for sex only. Intense sexual appeal only though does not a good match make.
