Visiting the Menahue-Our 1st trip to Aulani
Hi everyone. We were very lucky to go visit Aulani September 11-18th and here is our trip report. Yup its a little late but we wanted to share our experience. So we are....
Me and my DH (LJbadfan) he introduced me to Disney and he and his parents took me to Disneyland the 1st time for my 30th birthday. And.... DH parents DFIL and DMIL the wonderful people that made this trip possible. They bought into DVC on our Disney Cruise in 2012 and this would be our 2nd their 1st vacation using points. DFIL decided that Hawaii would be a nice place to visit and we agreed so he made the reservations to go for my DH's birthday. We flew on Alaskan airlines from our town to Seattle and then to Honolulu. So here goes my 1st trip report.

Travel Day
We flew out at 6:05am of our little airport to Seattle for our connection to Honolulu. The day before we had to take our fur baby to the Kennel
This is Minnie our lovable pound puppy. I had to work the day before we left and I head to work before dawn at 5am so I was off at 2pm. My husband had the day off and he took Minnie to the kennel and then we went home to finish packing. We had to be up at 3:30am to be ready to go when my DFIL and DMIL came to pick us up. We usually are there and 1st in line when the airport opens at 4:30am. We flew out on September 11th and the ticket counter didn't open until 5am and security doesn't open until shortly after that. We always ask if there are any 1st class upgrades and usually we are told no. But that day there were 2 available so my DMIL and I told my DH and DFIL to take them that we would be fine in coach. So they snapped them up quick and we checked our bags under their name since they got free checked bags with their upgrades. Then we went and stood in line for security and went thru quickly and then we waited. We boarded on time and walked out to the tarmac to board our plane. Here is a picture of our little puddle jumper after we landed in Seattle. Its only a 25 minute flight. Then we went up from the tarmac to the terminal to wait for our flight to Honolulu. Apparently I enjoyed a Starbucks refresher while we waited. While we waited my DFIL went and asked if we could board with them when they boarded with 1st class and they said sure. So we got to board with 1st class which was nice. It really helped with getting comfortable. After we took off we were free to wander if needed so I took some pictures. Me and DMIL. DFIL and DH enjoying 1st class. While I was up there DFIL handed me his credit card and said feel free to order breakfast. When you get closer to the Island Alaskan airlines gives out free Mai Tai's and they were pretty good. We flew over Aulani on our way into Honolulu but I got caught with my camera out when I tried to take a picture....oops. We landed and headed to baggage claim, wow was it humid in the airport. Then we took the Alamo shuttle to the rental office and handed over our credit card, proof of insurance, and licenses. We rented from www.discounthawaiicarrentals.com and it included 2 drivers and a full size car. We ended up with a Lincoln town car for the week. We plugged in the GPS and took off for Aulani.

Drive and arriaval
We made it thru the Honolulu traffic pretty easily and headed the 17 miles to Aulani. DH had fun trying to navigate the huge town car thru traffic, he drives a much more compact car at home. As we got closer to Aulani we saw this...
and then shortly after we were exiting the highway for Ko Olina. When you pull into the resort area there is a security checkpoint you have to stop at. They ask your name and where you are staying and then check their list and send you on your way. Then we got closer and saw this..... as we pulled in they were doing some construction at the front of the property. We pulled around them and went up to the entrance Ahh isn't it so pretty..and pulled up in the front and the valets came up to the door and said welcome home Jaquins family. They helped unload the car and then DH and I went to go park the car in the self park garage. DVC members staying on points get free parking there, when you 1st get there they tell you to get a ticket and toss it-they know when you finish registering that your vehicle is a DVC members. We managed to find a spot that we could fit the car in-we had to be careful because it was so long that it would stick out and block someone else. Then we walked up to the front entrance and got lei's and some of the welcome water. We had done online check in so it was pretty painless. They sat down and told us about the resort and gave us our keys-our studio was already ready and it was only about 2pm. We wandered around a bit and took a couple of pictures Then bell services took our luggage cart and us and headed to our room. We ended up with a island view on the 12th floor and we got a studio for the whole week. These are the pictures I got before we settled in. For some reason this is all I got.

Continued from last post
After checking out the room DFIL asked us what we wanted to do for dinner. None of us really wanted to leave since we were tired from traveling all day and our bodies thought is was later than it was. So he asked us what there was to eat and we told him that Makahiki would probably suit all of us in one way or the other. So he called down to see if they had any openings and they had us come down at 5pm when they opened. So we went and explored some more. Views from the 12th floor. We wandered down to the pool area, found the laundry-since we were in a studio (when you are staying on DVC points all you have to do is go to the registration desk and ask for tokens to use the laundry) We also took some other pictures and went into the shops and spoke to castmembers. Then we went and waited for the buffet to open. We were seated a little after 5pm and there wasn't anyone else there yet. The chef came and took me thru the buffet due to my peanut allergy and you'll be happy to know I could eat anything I wanted they don't use peanuts much and don't fry with peanut oil. He was only concerned with the cookies because they could have come in contact with peanuts. He was really friendly and easy to chat with. Then we were free to roam and get our food. I thought I took more pictures but I only have one that would upload. The fruit is absolutely delicious, I had multiple plates of this. My DMIL loved the crab legs they had out and the guys liked the coconut cake. The food was actually pretty good and tasty..but it was expensive. It cost us about $200 for the 4 of us. yikes. Denny's would be our place the rest of the trip. We finished up dinner and I was really wanting to go swimming but it was getting too late and we were tired so we went to bed early.

Were going next Friday to Aulani and I am enjoying your pics and review so far. Can't wait to see the rest.
I know the food is pricey. Unfortunately, we wont have a car, so we are kind of stuck to the local area for meals. |

Day 2 Spending time finding things
For our 1st full day in Hawaii we though we would search for the elusive...Wal-Mart....yup Wal-Mart. I work at Wal-Mart and we get a 10% discount and from traveling to Alaska and California know that they usually have a souvenir section. That and my DFIL has an obsession with Wal-Mart and goes almost everyday when we're home. So before we left I put in our GPS several restaurants and stores that we might need to go to. So we took off for Wal-Mart and it took us away from Kapolei toward ummmm nothing. So we turned around and headed back towards the resort and to Denny's. Denny's is only a mile or so up the road at the next exit, along with Target, McDonald's and several other restaurants. We went and ate breakfast here....
We met some of the friendliest people here. From the waitress to the locals and there were several families that were also staying at Aulani there. They had the $2, $4, $6, $8 menu also as well as local items like spam, rice, pineapple, etc. So we asked how to get to Wal-Mart and they gave us great directions. So off we went on our adventure and headed into Wal-Mart. We found a huge selection of souvenirs, t-shirts, etc. We got water, macadamia nuts, cereal, soda, milk, cups, plates, and a few other necessities. The bottled water and soda were the same price as the mainland except the bottle deposit for us. Then we headed back to the resort. We pulled up and opened the trunk and the bell boys yelled groceries and they came running with tubs and a luggage cart. Asked if we had anything breakable and proceeded to completely unload the trunk for us and said they would meet us up at the room. That was completely unexpected and DH and I left his parents with them to head to the room while we took the car to the self-park garage. After we put groceries away we went and looked at the shops. (If you see something you want make sure you get it then because some things sell quickly and they sometimes don't get more.) My DH showed me the Aulani Dooney and Burke bags and he was feeling me out to see which one I liked because one appeared under the Christmas tree. He got it while we were there and snuck it up to the room. Then we went and explored some more. It was raining pretty hard so we stayed inside. We stopped by the DVC office and found out they were showing a one bedroom up on the 10th floor so we headed up there. Here are some of the pictures I took.... Then we got to take a quick peek into the 10th floor ocean view grand villa. Wow it was gorgeous and the only picture I could snag was of the view. The guide had to go give a break so we just got to peek. After dinner at Denny's we went and spent some time at the pool. Then spent some time relaxing in the room and called it a night.

Day 3 Pearl Harbor
So Friday the 13th we decided to go to Pearl Harbor. We were talking to one of the castmembers the day before and she asked when we were leaving for Pearl Harbor and we said about 5:30ish she said oh you better leave earlier than that. So we left at 4:30am because I booked us on the 1st boat out to the memorial. Ok lesson learned bad traffic into Honolulu in the dark and it was raining. Next time it'll be on Saturday or Sunday there was hardly any traffic those mornings.
We reserved tickets about 4 or 5 months ahead of time just paying the $1.50 fee to the government. We were glad we did because we at least had guaranteed tickets. You have to pick them up at will call 1 hour before your sail time. They are free other than the booking fee and there is no admission to get into the museums and grounds of the memorial. This was a very somber place, very quiet, and very respectful. I'm involved with the VFW at home and it was nice to go and talk to them about my experience when we got back. Here are some of the pictures we took. The anchor from the USS Arizona The USS Bowfin I have a few more but photo bucket is not cooperating right now. So I will post more tomorrow.

Pearl Harbor Continued
Here are some more photos from our visit to Pearl Harbor.
This is a model of what the USS Arizona looks like now. After we were done with the museum we headed to the theatre for the movie and trip over to the memorial site. The USS Missouri. We spent another hour or so walking the pathway between story boards and taking pictures and looked at the submarine memorial as well as the torpedo display. Then we went to the gift shop and looked around. They also had Pearl Harbor survivors there autographing books and talking to people about their experience. It started to rain even harder so we decided to head back to the resort.

Day 3 resort fun
So the previous day when we were looking the Daily Ewa we noticed that Aulani was offering a photography class by Disney photopass---for free. They were trying out a new "excursion" they could offer their guests and they were offering the class on Thursday and Friday night. Before we left for Hawaii I had almost booked a photography class for my DH for his birthday but decided not to. So we called to ask about it and the Thursday class was full but they had 4 openings for Friday night. We jumped on the chance and booked it. They were only taking 5 people per class. We all had our DSLR's with us. The class wasn't until 5pm so we spent some time around the resort with some characters we found hanging out.
We went up to the room for a little while to rest and get some air conditioning (we live in the more desert area of our state not used to so much humidity). Then we headed down to the room where they host their activities (can't remember the name right now) and met up Derwin from Disney Photopass. We ended up being the only ones who showed up so it was like a private class and we made it easy since we all had Nikons. He took us over to the conference center and did a power point presentation with us with the rule of 3rds, perspective, and ISO settings etc. Then we went out to the beach to practice and do some hands on. This sunset wasn't as spectacular as the ones that we would see later on but it was still pretty. The class lasted over 2 hours even though it was only supposed to be 1 1/2 hours but we learned a lot from Derwin. The class ended with a survey on how it went and if we thought it was a good class and how much we thought would be a good price to charge. Derwin was an excellent teacher and we would run into him on the beach a few days later. After class we headed to Denny's for dinner and then went back to the resort and talked to a few castmemembers. My DFIL had been having a hard time sleeping every night so he was getting and taking walks and would go down and talk to the bell hops and valets as well as the registration desk ladies. He ended up with some good things to go see and eat and got to know them quite well. We got to visit with some of them when we returned and then headed up to the room to crash.

Please test my map out.
I just registered here but have been lurking for quite some time. If you could d/l my map and give me some pointers I would greatly appreciate it. I would post some screens, but I am away from my regular PC at the moment. I think I'm starting to get the hang of UED but need some ideas on what I need to improve on.
If you need screenshots I will post them when I get home tonight. Thanks. http://spots.flatland.com/2tall/CTF-...ismap]beta.zip Also this map is nameless at the moment. |

well i have played it.
and i think it is really good! it was the most fun i have had in awile(i'm not sure if that is because i have betrayed the UT community and played the boringness of quake 3) but that was a good fun map as far as i'm conserned. it could have used some more eyecandy and some more textures but it was good. probably better than most of my maps as i havent finnished any except for one, DM-]Atomic[-spikes which i never relesed, and wasn't really good. ps i liked the red lights in one of the rooms.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I need to add some more trim and decorations. After I add the eye candy the only thing I need to come up with is a name for the map.
5th Oct 2001, 06:49 PM | #6 |
i d/led it. here's some comments, and do not take offense; they are merely constructive. take them for what they are worth.
Architecture: Try putting some trim along the walls. It is just too bland and grey. You seem to know how to use the 2d editor to make other than square rooms, so use it to make some nice supports as well. Try to have more variation in height by using ramps, lifts, stairs, platforms, etc. This adds another dimension to the fight. Textures: Simply use more. That grey texture gets real repetitive after, uh 5 seconds. Try to experiment with placing different textures on the same wall, broken up by trim. Lighting: Practice, practice, practice. Open up some of the maps that came on the CD to see how the lighting is done. Try to avoid those black spots on the ceiling by placing lights on the walls as well. Make sure all lights have a source, i.e. a light fixture. Items: Not too bad, but the UD is far too easy to get. Try to think about what the weapons are going to be used for when placing them. For instance, place the FK in close quarters, the BR up on a ledge, the RL in an open space, etc.. Bots: Didn't try it with them, so I can't speak for the bots. Just keep at it. It will come along in leaps and bounds. Not bad though for a noob map. Always come here for help; there is a ton of it to be found.

5th Oct 2001, 07:05 PM | #7 |
Just what I needed.
I thought the lighting was ok, but now I know better. I will add some trim and more eyecandy as I stated before. You should try it with the bots on they are tough IMO. I do need to change the pathing to add some alternate routes for the bots although I have seen them use more than one route to the flag. I may also put the UD in the central hallway down below. I want to get better so I need the critique. |
6th Oct 2001, 02:26 AM | #8 |
Basically everything said above I agree with. THo I wanted to add a couple of things...
I liked the nice little touches such as the red light and the grate with the blue lit pit under it. Adds to the map. Bots t... it was pretty easy to beat them because they didn't use all the routes. They'd basically flock to the sb path...makes sense since it was the shortest way to go. SB and AMP were too easy to get. Make the map bigger next time so you have to go a bit of ways before you reach your base. V. Good stuff for a noob map tho.

that is how a n00b mapper should learn
6th Oct 2001, 04:44 AM | #10 |
Took a quick look, I think the layout can turn out to be interesting for such a compact map.
Some more things: I would have moved the flags so that they are centered at each end of the map. If you jump you can bump your head against the ceiling/lamps, increase the height. You can x-loc on top of the lamps, if this is something you want some beams would seem more natural. Do the texturing and deco thing like the other people said. |
6th Oct 2001, 11:54 PM | #11 |
Thanks again
Thanks for the comments. I'll use the critique to improve.

I will post some
as soon as I add some more eye candy and correct some flaws I have found in the map. That may be tonite or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have to work on it.
Thanks for the interest in my map. |
8th Oct 2001, 07:00 PM | #14 |
no prob
9th Oct 2001, 04:00 AM | #15 |
I've changed the textures some and added some more detail. The pathing is changed but I cant seem to get the bots to use the alternate paths very well. I kept the original flag placement because I like it the way it is. Check the link below for some screen shots. They arent great, but it gives an idea of what the map looks like.

Put some goodies like health vials in the alt paths.
Chris had a very nice post I had bookmarked that explained using alternate paths but I lost it in a reformat and I cannot find it now

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office identified a man who drowned on Saturday at Saguaro Lake as Thomas Ball, 42, of Phoenix.
Deputy Charles Scudella said Ball had swam most of the way to a semi-submerged boulder about 75 to 100 yards from shore when he began yelling for help and went under.
Divers recovered his body about 2½ hours later in 18 feet of water.

We'll be honest: If Kelly Clarkson isn't involved, we don't really follow Jason Aldean. But congrats to the 37-year-old Georgia native, anyway, for earning his second chart-topping album on the Billboard 200 with Old Boots, New Dirt. The LP sold 278,000 copies this week, thus bumping Blake Shelton from #1 and racking up the third-largest opening for an album in 2014, behind Coldplay's Ghost Stories (383,000) and Eric Church's The Outsiders (288,000).
Coming in just behind Aldean is Irish crooner Hozier, whose weekend appearance on Saturday Night Live no doubt aided his self-titled debut landing at #2 with 58,000 copies sold. After that, music's old standards continue to rule, as Barbra Streisand and the duo of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga refuse to budge from the #3 and #4 positions, respectively.
See how the rest of the Top 10 played out this week below. More »

Bowling is the great social equalizer—a common ground where grizzled undercover clowns, blue-collar English lords, LARPer librarians, big and tall lingerie models, hordes of hive-minded hipsters, and the other two social demographics that compose America can unite in the common cause of toppling a gaggle of stuck-up, inanimate wooden pins. Brunswick has been a household name in this egalitarian pastime almost since the beginning, with a company history that dates back to the 19th century, providing classic American good times to all manner of patrons across the country. And with today's Groupon tying the room together, you'll get to play two games (up to a $10 value) in its hallowed halls wearing a pair of freshly disinfected bowling shoes (up to a $4 value).
When it comes to grilling meat, The Prairie Tap House's executive chef, Phil Dvorak, draws upon the traditions of Baltimore to craft pit meats, which he marinates for three days with a secret housemade spice recipe. Afterward, he slow-cooks each cut over an oak-fired grill, thinly slices it, and serves it on a locally baked Kaiser roll.
With this meticulous method, Dvorak sears 10 meats, including pork served with buttermilk slaw and beef served with crisp white onions and house made creamy horseradish sauce. The rest of The Prairie Tap House's menu sticks to more traditional pub food, albeit with an upscale twist, from Korean beef lettuce wraps to handmade pastas tossed with lobster, bacon, and creamy toasted-fennel sauce. Along with 30 wines, bartenders complement feasts with 35 draft beers and more than 50 brews doled out in bottles, cans, or a server's gloved hands cupped together.
When Maynard's Restaurant opened its first location on the shores of Lake Minnetonka in 1998, it was a melding of the nostalgic and the modern. Sure, it was an old-fashioned diner, but one that added a gourmet flair to its American casual cuisine done right. It features an approachable menu with generous portions and plenty of variety for those repeat visits, from a pot-roast French dip to a butternut squash ravioli swimming in cranberry cream sauce. In 2005, a second branch opened in Rogers with equally comforting ambience, swapping out the lakeside locale for a cabin-esque dining room lit by a roaring fireplace.
Founded in 2002 by Erik Sanborn, a Minnesota native whose art has taken him to stages across 25 countries, the Metropolitan Ballet curates a company of skilled dancers, some with ties to such prestigious companies as the Bolshoi Ballet. The curriculum is grounded in the Vaganova method of ballet, which emphasizes a strong core and full-body perfection of movement. The company also stays busy with a full season of performances, with lavishly costumed dancers moving through dramatic stories that have ranged from Dracula to The Nutcracker.

Pronounced /flɒksɪˌnɔːsɪˌnɪhɪlɪˌpɪlɪfɪˌkeɪʃn/
Back in the eighteenth century, Eton College had a grammar book which listed a set of words from Latin which all meant something of little or no value. In order, those were flocci, nauci, nihili, and pili (which sound like four of the seven dwarves, Roman version, but I digress).
As a learned joke, somebody put all four of these together and then stuck –fication on the end to make a noun for the act of deciding that something is totally and utterly valueless (a verb, floccinaucinihilipilificate, to judge a thing to be valueless, ccan also be constructed, but hardly anybody ever does). The first recorded use is by William Shenstone in a letter in 1741: "I loved him for nothing so much as his flocci-nauci-nihili-pili-fication of money".
A quick Latin lesson: flocci is derived from floccus, literally a tuft of wool and the source of English words like flocculate, but figuratively in Latin something trivial; pili is likewise the plural of pilus, a hair, which we have inherited in words like depilatory, but which in Latin could mean a whit, jot, trifle or generally a thing that is insignificant; nihili is from nihil, nothing, as in words like nihilism and annihilate; nauci just means worthless.
The word's main function is to be trotted out as an example of a long word (it was the longest in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary but was edged out in the second by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis). It had a rare public airing in 1999 when US Senator Jesse Helms brought it out to comment on the demise of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: "I note your distress at my floccinaucinihilipilification of the CTBT".

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel across the Jordan River, in the desert, on the plain across from Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Di-zahab. ( | 1 These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the desert east of the Jordan--that is, in the Arabah--opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. |
2 It is eleven days from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea along the Mount Seir route.) | 2 (It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road.) |
3 It was in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, that Moses spoke to the Israelites precisely what the LORD had commanded him for them. ( | 3 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them. |
4 This was after the defeat of Sihon, the Amorite king who ruled in Heshbon, and Og, Bashan's king, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei.) | 4 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, and at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth. |
5 Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Instruction. He said the following: | 5 East of the Jordan in the territory of Moab, Moses began to expound this law, saying: |
6 At Horeb, the LORD our God told us: You've been at this mountain long enough. | 6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, "You have stayed long enough at this mountain. |
7 Get going! Enter the hills of the Amorites and the surrounding areas in the desert, the highlands, the lowlands, the arid southern region, and the seacoast—the land of the Canaanites—and the Lebanon range, all the way to the great Euphrates River. | 7 Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. |
8 Look, I have laid the land before you. Go and possess the land that I promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as to their descendants after them. | 8 See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore he would give to your fathers--to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--and to their descendants after them." |
9 At that same time, I told you: I can't handle all of you by myself. | 9 At that time I said to you, "You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. |
10 The LORD your God has multiplied your number—you are now as countless as the stars in the sky. | 10 The LORD your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as many as the stars in the sky. |
11 May the LORD, your ancestors' God, continue to multiply you—a thousand times more! And may God bless you, just as he promised. | 11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised! |
12 But how can I handle all your troubles, burdens, and disputes by myself? | 12 But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself ? |
13 Now, for each of your tribes, choose wise, discerning, and well-regarded individuals. I will appoint them as your leaders. | 13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you." |
14 You answered me: "What you have proposed is a good idea." | 14 You answered me, "What you propose to do is good." |
15 So I took leading individuals from your tribes, people who were wise and well-regarded, and I set them up as your leaders. There were commanders over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens, as well as officials for each of your tribes. | 15 So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you--as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials. |
16 At that same time, I commanded your judges: Listen to your fellow tribe members and judge fairly, whether the dispute is between one fellow tribe member or between a tribe member and an immigrant. | 16 And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the disputes between your brothers and judge fairly, whether the case is between brother Israelites or between one of them and an alien. |
17 Don't show favoritism in a decision. Hear both sides out, whether the person is important or not. Don't be afraid of anyone because the ruling belongs to God. Any dispute that is too difficult for you to decide, bring to me and I will take care of it. | 17 Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it. |
18 So at that time, I commanded you concerning everything you were to do. | 18 And at that time I told you everything you were to do. |
19 We left Horeb and journeyed through that vast and terrifying desert you saw, on the way to the hills of the Amorites, exactly as the LORD our God commanded us. Then we arrived at Kadesh-barnea. | 19 Then, as the LORD our God commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites through all that vast and dreadful desert that you have seen, and so we reached Kadesh Barnea. |
20 I said to you: You have come to the hills of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving to us. | 20 Then I said to you, "You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us. |
21 Look! The LORD your God has laid out the land before you. Go up and take it, just as the LORD, your ancestors' God, has promised you. Don't be afraid! Don't be frightened! | 21 See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." |
22 Then all of you approached me, saying, "Let's send spies ahead of us—they can check out the land for us. Then they can return with word about the route we should use and bring a report about the cities that we'll be entering." | 22 Then all of you came to me and said, "Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to." |
23 This idea seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men, one from each tribe. | 23 The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe. |
24 These set out and went up into the hills, going as far as the Cluster ravine. They walked all around that area. | 24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and explored it. |
25 They took some of the land's fruit and then came back down to us. They reported to us: "The land that the LORD our God is giving to us is wonderful!" | 25 Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported, "It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us." |
26 But you weren't willing to go up. You rejected the LORD your God's instruction. | 26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. |
27 You complained in your tents, saying things like, "The LORD hates us! That's why he brought us out of Egypt—to hand us over to the Amorites, to destroy us! | 27 You grumbled in your tents and said, "The LORD hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us. |
28 What are we doing? Our brothers have made our hearts sick by saying, 'People far stronger and much taller than we live there, and the cities are huge, with walls sky-high! Worse still, we saw the descendants of the Anakites there!'" | 28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made us lose heart. They say, 'The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.' " |
29 But I said to you: Don't be terrified! Don't be afraid of them! | 29 Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. |
30 The LORD your God is going before you. He will fight for you just as he fought for you in Egypt while you watched, | 30 The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, |
31 and as you saw him do in the desert. Throughout your entire journey, until you reached this very place, the LORD your God has carried you just as a parent carries a child. | 31 and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place." |
32 But you had no faith in the LORD your God about this matter, | 32 In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, |
33 even though he went ahead of you, scouting places where you should camp, in fire by night, so you could see the road you were taking, and in cloud during the daytime. | 33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go. |
34 The LORD heard what you said. He was angry and he swore: | 34 When the LORD heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore: |
35 Not even one of these people—this wicked generation!—will see the wonderful land that I promised to give to your ancestors. | 35 "Not a man of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your forefathers, |
36 The only exception is Caleb, Jephunneh's son. He will see it. I will give the land he walked on to him and his children for this reason: he was completely devoted to the LORD. | 36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly." |
37 (The LORD was even angry with me because of what you did. "You won't enter the land either," God said. | 37 Because of you the LORD became angry with me also and said, "You shall not enter it, either. |
38 "But Nun's son Joshua, your assistant, will enter it. Strengthen him because he's the one who will help Israel inherit the land.") | 38 But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to inherit it. |
39 Now as for your toddlers, those you said would be taken in war, and your young children who don't yet know right and wrong—they will enter the land. I will give it to them. They will possess it! | 39 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad--they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it. |
40 But you all must now turn around. Head back toward the wilderness along the route of the Reed Sea. | 40 But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea." |
41 You replied to me: "We've sinned against the LORD! We will go up! We will fight, just as the LORD our God commanded." Each one of you grabbed your weapons. You thought it would be easy to go up into the hills. | 41 Then you replied, "We have sinned against the LORD. We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God commanded us." So every one of you put on his weapons, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country. |
42 But the LORD told me: Tell them: Don't go up! Don't fight because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies. | 42 But the LORD said to me, "Tell them, 'Do not go up and fight, because I will not be with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.' " |
43 I reported this to you but you wouldn't listen. You disobeyed the LORD's instruction. Hotheadedly, you went up into the hills. | 43 So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD's command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country. |
44 And the Amorites who lived in those hills came out to meet you in battle. They chased you like bees give chase! They gave you a beating from Seir all the way to Hormah. | 44 The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. |
45 When you came back, you cried before the LORD, but he wouldn't respond to your tears or give you a hearing. | 45 You came back and wept before the LORD, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you. |
46 And so you stayed in Kadesh-barnea for quite some time. | 46 And so you stayed in Kadesh many days--all the time you spent there. |

SearchCIO.com asks whether the devil you know (fat clients) is better than the one you don't (virtual desktops). Fat clients bring a familiar operating system, real-time access to multimedia and device portability. They also bring fix-it-yourself PC problems and add programs that may cause the device -- or even the network -- to go haywire. Desktop virtualization minimizes security risks since data resides in the data center. Updates and patches are also easier. So which is the better of the two?

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- The New York Islanders were merely content with a lopsided victory. The Phoenix Coyotes were flat-out humiliated.
With production from all four lines, the Islanders built a big lead and carried it to a 6-1 win over the Coyotes on Tuesday night.
While New York coach Jack Capuano was pleased with his team's performance, he tempered his remarks and didn't heap too much praise on his club.
"We got some bounces. Let's not kid ourselves," Capuano said. "The score didn't indicate the way the game was."
John Tavares scored his first two goals of the season and defenseman Matt Donovan added the first of his NHL career in a rare meeting between the Islanders and Coyotes. Phoenix hadn't visited Long Island since December 2010.
Peter Regin and Tavares scored in the first period for the Islanders (2-0-1), and Donovan, Tavares and Colin McDonald connected in the second against beleaguered goalie Mike Smith to turn it into a rout.
Frans Nielsen earned the second of his three assists on the night when McDonald made it 5-1 with 2:36 left in the second.
"You get embarrassed as a professional athlete. It's unacceptable," Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. "There has to be accountability in our room. They have a really good team that moves the puck well, and we let them do it all night."
Evgeni Nabokov was the beneficiary of all the offense and made 33 saves for the win. The 38-year-old goalie has started all three games for the Islanders.
Josh Bailey had a goal and two assists, and Michael Grabner had three assists for New York, which was outshot 34-28. Regin added an assist.
"It was just a full-team effort," forward Kyle Okposo said. "We talked about the third period. We wanted to come out and play better and not give them anything. I thought we did a pretty good job."
Martin Hanzal gave the Coyotes (1-2) a brief spark when his first of the season made it 3-1. Smith stopped only 15 shots and was replaced at the start of the third period by Thomas Greiss, who made his Phoenix debut.
Bailey made it 6-1 against Greiss, off assists from Nielsen and Grabner, with 7:41 left.
"It's completely unacceptable," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We have a lot of work to do as a team. We just weren't good enough."
For the second straight game, the Islanders jumped out to a 2-0 lead and tried to protect it. They were unsuccessful in their home opener on Saturday when they allowed Columbus to get even in the third period and beat them in a shootout.
This time, the Islanders pushed their edge to 3-0 with their second power-play goal, but the Coyotes responded 43 seconds later with Hanzal's goal to cut the deficit back to two.
"A two-goal lead at home is something you'd love to have every night. It was good to take advantage of that," Tavares said. "We have confidence with the lead. It was nice to get another one and keep playing the way we want to play.
"Our third goal was a big goal. On Saturday we didn't get the third goal."
New York took control early against the Coyotes.
Phoenix defenseman Zbynek Michalek turned over the puck near the blue line, and Regin calmly skated into the left circle, with his head up. He deftly snapped a shot over the shoulder of the 6-foot-4 Smith and into the left corner just 1:49 into the game.
"Sometimes you have that feeling-out process at the start of the game, but Peter's line did a great job of getting us into it right away," Bailey said. "Having a goal within the first two minutes really boosted the guys, and after that we seemed to respond really well."
The Islanders earned the first power play with 6:24 left in the first, and the Coyotes compounded the problem on the ensuing faceoff when Antoine Vermette was whistled for delay of game when he smothered the puck in the circle.
Tavares took advantage of the two-man power play when he slam-dunked a cross-crease pass from Nielsen inside the right post. Phoenix managed to kill the remainder of Vermette's penalty, but trailed 2-0 after one period despite a 7-6 edge in shots.
Donovan pushed the lead to 3-0 at 11:47 of the second during a power play with a hard shot that Smith smothered. However, the puck trickled behind him and over the line.
"The harder you work, the luckier you get," Capuano said.
Tavares, the Islanders' new captain, notched his second with 5:11 left in the period, and McDonald made it 5-1 just 2:35 later.
Game notes
The Coyotes were without D Derek Morris, who missed the game because of an upper-body injury despite taking part in the morning skate. ... The Islanders again scratched RW Cal Clutterbuck, who is close to returning following a leg laceration sustained during the preseason. ... Phoenix is 0-2 on a five-game trip that has three Eastern stops remaining. ... Dating to last season, the Islanders had played six straight one-goal games -- including five shootouts. They went 2-1-3.
