Watched last night for about 10th time, could not get the songs out of my head all day today =) Especially love the opening & last numbers. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell both give stellar performances, making the performances of the somewhat mediocre supporting actors a moot point. Musicals are not my favorite genre by far, but this movie is an exception. The camaraderie between Jane and Marilyn seems genuine, no competitiveness evident between the two. This makes their friendship in the movie believable, and they bring us on a merry romp through this delightful if not totally plausible story line.
go Jane
- Adam Grosso
- 7/21/12
There was and is a lot of attention to Marilyn Monroe, and deservedly so. However, im opinion, it is Jane Russell who steals the show. A brash, in your face, performance, seen est in "Is There Anyone Here For Love." see it for Marilyn but stay for Jane.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
- Dashiell Barnes
- 6/28/12
A restrained director like Hawks goes crazy in this camp musical. Monroe, with her guilelessness, and Russell, with her practicality make a first-rate duo. The film is a perfect balance between musical & comedy, all about gold digging & sentimental dreams. Some elements are dated, but nonetheless, this is an iconic musical. I give it a 3.5/5.
Dynamite Movie Memory
- Teddy Kaye
- 7/5/10
I watch this letterboxed movie for the musical numbers "Two Girls from Little Rock", "When Love Goes Wrong" and "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". "Two girls" starts the move and "Diamonds' is near the end. The "Diamond" number is too long but the last couple of minutes are dazzling. This trio with the Monroe/Russell pair is one dynamite movie memory.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Marilyn Monroe in one of her best roles. This is a must see with great musical numbers, comedy, and costumes.

- 6/16/08
A fabulous musical and probably Marilyn's most iconic role after "Some Like It Hot"
I loved it
- Maria
- 8/8/07
I loved this movie! I have it and I can't get enough of the "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" number. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are both great! I loved the music, I could listen to it over and over. Anyone who is a fan of musicals, watch it!

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z-\+]+)$ category.php?cat=$1
...doesn't work. What's the trick?
Thanks, 4
RewriteRule ^(([a-z\-]¦\%2b)+)$ category.php?cat=$1 [NC,L]
That doesn't seem to work for me.
Maybe there's a more elegant solution to my overall problem. I have some fields in my db that must have an ampersand in them (i.e. M&M candies). I can't include them in my url because what follows the & is treated as a new variable in my query. Putting it in encoded form is ugly and non-intuitive. So I replace & with + in the url. Now I can't get the regex to recognize a literal +.
Is there a better way?
old... product.php?cat=candy&name=M+M-candies
new... /candy/M+M-candies
.htaccess... RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z-]+)/([A-Za-z-\+]+)$ product.php?cat=$1&name=$2
Thanks for your help!
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([a-z\-]+)/(([a-z\-]�%2b)+)\ HTTP/ [NC]RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)/(.+)$ product.php?cat=%1&name=%2 [NC,NE,L]
Replace the broken pipe "�" character with a solid pipe before use; Posting on this board modifies pipe characters.
THE_REQUEST is the entire request line sent by the browser, e.g.:
You may also find it useful to change the RewriteRule temporarily to do an external redirect, so that you can see the results in your browser address bar; This often makes debugging these hex-encoding problems easier to deal with.
In query strings I think spaces can get translated into plus signs or %20 , so perhaps the webserver is translating the plus back to a space first. In which case try using an underscore or something instead of the plus.
uncle_bob, You might be right. My main problem is I want a symbol which means 'and'. My options would be & or +. Maybe I should translate it to '-and-' even though a user would probably guess an url with '&' since it is the proper name.
I'll try to investigate more. Thanks for the tips and solutions.

Indian Orthodox Church consecrated for Bristol
Accompanied by his wife Tasoni Sheila, Father Simon Smyth represented Abba Seraphim at the consecration of the new Indian Orthodox Church of Saint Mary in Pilning, Bristol, on Saturday 7 September. The building in Bank Road, Pilning, BS35 4JG was formerly St. Peter's Primary School. The consecration and first liturgy was celebrated by His Holiness Baselius Mar Thoma Paulose II, Catholicos of the East, supported by the diocesan bishop, His Grace Metropolitan Doctor Mathew Mar Thimothius and His Grace Metropolitan Thomas Mar Athanasius, Bishop of Chengannur, together with seven Indian Orthodox priests and an enthusiastic congregation of several hundred. The whole day typified Oriental Orthodoxy at its best, filled with love, warmth and joy.
Although the Indian Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom & Ireland has twenty-three congregations, this is their third freehold church building. The Bristol parish was founded in October 2002 with only 25 families, but began growing rapidly, so that it was constituted a parish in August 2003 and now has 95 families. Plans to erect a traditional Malankara Church facade received support from the local council as likely to enhance the building's appearance but is being opposed by the County Council as the building falls within the Green belt. Your prayers are invited for a successful outcome to the church's appeal. Donations to the building fund can be made via the parish website: http://www.stmarysindianorthodoxchurchbristol.com/new-church-project/
Daniel Malyon marries Janice Oommen
On 19 August Subdeacon Daniel Malyon and Janice Oommen were joined together in Holy Matrimony in Kerala. The service was performed by His Grace Gabriel Mar Gregorios, Bishop of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) in his Domestic Chapel at Aramana, assisted by three of his priests and was conducted in both Malayalam and English in the presence of some 240 guests. On 16 August Daniel had an audience with His Holiness Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II, Catholicos of the East, who gave them his blessing.
The Betrothal of Daniel and Janice had been performed on 16 December 2012 by Father Simon Smyth at Christ the Saviour Church in Bournemouth, where Daniel and Janice had first met.
In his letter of greeting to Mar Gregorios, Abba Seraphim had written, "The forthcoming wedding is a source of much pleasure to the clergy and faithful of the British Orthodox Church, not only because we have come to know and love Janice during her stay in the UK; but also because it symbolises the deep affection band respect with which the British Orthodox regard the venerable Orthodox Church of India, which has proved such a vibrant witness to our common faith, both here and in its homeland in Kerala."
New Indian Orthodox Church consecrated
31 August and 1 September were significant dates in the history of the Oriental Orthodox churches in the United Kingdom, as His Grace Dr. Mathews Mar Timotheos, Bishop of the Indian Orthodox Diocese of Europe & Africa, consecrated the second Indian Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom. The new church, dedicated to Saint Thomas, which is to serve the growing Indian Orthodox community in North London – now estimated at some 130 families, is situated just north of the M25 at St. Agnells Lane, Hemel Hemstead, HP2 7AY. The building is a redundant Church which had fallen into disrepair but had undergone extensive renovation, including the construction of a new Western entrance in the style of Malankara churches.
On the Eve of the consecration, Mar Timotheos laid the foundation stone for the altar, which was then solemnly consecrated the next morning. A large congregation attended as well as a number of ecumenical visitors. From the British Orthodox Church, Abba Seraphim, Father Peter Farrington and subdeacon Daniel Malyon assisted in the sanctuary, whilst Father Mina from St. Mary & Archangel Michael Church at Golders Green, represented H.G. Bishop Angaelos and Father Haile Meskel Samuels represented the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
Father George Joy, the parish priest, and his congregation provided a warm welcome and added to the general celebratory nature of the occasion.
Abba Seraphim joins Festival for Saint Gregorios
Abba Seraphim was able to join the Indian Orthodox Parish of St. Gregorios at Brockley, in south-east London, for the celebration of their patronal festival over the weekend of 4 & 5 November. The parish was also privileged to have visiting His Grace Yuhanon Mar Dioscorus, Bishop of Chennai (Madras), who presided at all the services. Abba Seraphim joined them for Saturday Evening Prayer after which there was a procession around the outside of the church. This was followed by "Divyarchana", traditional Christian Folk Arts, in which both the choir and many of the younger members of the congreagation participated enthusiastically.
On Sunday morning, 6 November, Abba Seraphim concelebrated the Divine Liturgy with Mar Dioscorus and the Indian Orthodox clergy. Also assisting was Father Haile Maskel Samuels of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. At the conclusion of the Liturgy Abba Seraphim gave a short address about the contemporary significance of Saint Gregorios, and spoke of his own delight in having been a pilgrim to the saint's shrine when he visited Paramula in 2010. This was followed by the "Raza", the procession with crosses and umbrellas around the streets surrounding the church.
Bishops meet: a friendship renewed
On 17 June Abba Seraphim, accompanied by Father Gregory Tillett, paid a courtesy call to greet His Grace Yakob Mar Elias, Bishop of the Brahmavar diocese within the Indian Orthodox Church. His Grace Mar Elias was staying at St. Gregorios Orthodox Church in Brockley, London, during a brief visit to the United Kingdom, which includes visits to Chichester (where he studied theology), Newcastle and Holy Island. Mar Elias received Abba Seraphim and his party when they visited Mount Horeb Ashraman at Sassthamkotta in January 2010, shortly before his consecration at a bishop and both bishops were anxious to renew the friendship they had established during that visit. Father John Samuel, parish priest of St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church was also in attendance on Mar Elias.

About Barbie Clothes
Barbie dates to a time when women were gaining more independence by venturing outside of their homes for experiences dedicated to more than homemaking and child rearing. Barbie was a career woman then, and is a successful glass ceiling breaker in today's tough toy world. From fashion model to secretary to doctor, Barbie has tried on as many professions as she has outfits. Barbie clothes share a history of American fashion over many decades.
- In 1959, Barbie began as a fashion model in three-dimensional form. All other girls' fashion toys were created as paper dolls prior to the introduction of Barbie. Wearing only a black and white striped swimsuit with matching sunglasses, shoes and hoop earrings for accessories, the curvaceous toy with the feminine form became the latest rave. In 1978, Barbie was the beach party queen when she wore a cover-up over her bikini. In 1980, the doll fashionista wore a funky disco bodysuit with wrap-&-snap skirt. The plastic Mattel-manufactured doll with a vast wardrobe is still popular with girls, boys and avid adult Barbie collectors.
- Mattel has provided Barbie with an incredible wardrobe. As time progressed, Barbie clothes went from taffeta gowns to miniskirts with skinny tights and high boots, and back around again. Barbie ventures from reality-based trendy styles to fantastical sparkling princess attire. With thousands of outfits from which to choose, Barbie becomes someone new with the change of an outfit.
- Custom-made Barbie doll clothes can be ordered from tailors who specialize in miniature clothing creations. These Barbie clothes are handmade, and include the tiniest details to add to their distinctive quality. Each article of clothing is an original piece, adhering to made-to-order specifics.
- There are Barbie clothes for nearly every occasion and career. Complete outfits include the accessories and objects specific to the particular Barbie doll. For instance, Malibu Barbie comes with a bathing suit, beach towel and sunglasses. Miss Astronaut Barbie has a silver metallic jumpsuit, moon boots and helmet. Registered Nurse Barbie wears a traditional white uniform accompanied by a navy cape, and Boot Camp Barbie wears G.I. gear with dog tags.
- Materials and patterns used to create Barbie clothes are the same as full-size garments, only in smaller dimensions. Barbie clothes come in cotton, wool, silk, chiffon and nylon, fabrics much like living "dolls" wear, and are fastened with snaps, hooks and Velcro. The Scarlet Macaw Barbie wears couture; purple, yellow and red feathers adorn the hem of her silk shantung gown. Evening dresses made of blush lace, crystal accents and chiffon trains are a part of Barbie's wardrobe. Barbie sports Vera Wang and Kimora Lee Simmons designer clothing. Barbie clothes cover it all, and Barbie wears them well.
- If Barbie were a live woman, she would be more than 7 feet tall with the dimensions 44-17-40. To cover her human body would take considerably more fabric than her doll form. Barbie's petite plastic physique puts her between 11.133 and 11.5 inches tall, making her clothes no more than 11.5 inches long by 7 inches wide, unless there is an added train or the design is intended to be extra wide. Barbie has a 6-inch bust, a 3.75-inch waist and 5-inch hips, making the doll slim with long, slender legs that remain apart and feet that stay suspended en pointe, ready to slip into her classic high heels.
- Weak sales of Barbie dolls and their clothing prompted Mattel to attempt a rejuvenation of the toy brand by appealing to a slightly older audience. Mattel's "long-term plan to reinvigorate" Barbie doll and Barbie clothes sales involves promotions that publicize the Barbie Luxe brand featuring jeans, hooded sweatshirts, handbags and accessories. Mattel anticipates the Barbie clothing and accessories line will appeal to trend-setting teenagers and women, causing the popularity of the articles to "trickle down to Barbie the doll."

New dues became effective Feb. 1, 2014. If you're not sure when you joined or renewed, you can email our secretary, Barbara Henninger, at firstname.lastname@example.com
We reelected the current board and began forming separate committees to work on expanding the membership and helping to pass the library budget in May. If you'd like to join either committee, e-mail email@example.com.
We reviewed the good news and not-so-good news of 2013. On the good side, we approved all the budget requests we received from the library staff, more than $15,000. We paid for the museum passes, the after-school homework help and a variety of concerts, programs and equipment not part of the library's operating budget. Thanks to our treasurer, Joyce Koyner, our application for tax-exempt status is in the friendly hands of the IRS. In not-so-good news: we spent more money than we took in ($3,930 in dues, and $5,470 from book sales). We began 2014 with $16,785 in the bank. And of the 300 names on our email list, only about 120 are in good standing in terms of their dues. And yes, Barbara is working on a friendly and efficient way of reminding members when their dues are up for renewal.
Thanks! Questions and suggestions always welcomed at firstname.lastname@example.com. Bob Minzesheimer, Friends president

California Auto Accident Attorney Provides Kindle Book to Consumers
The Law Offices of Edward A. Smith announces the publication of The Ultimate California Auto Accident Handbook. Available at no charge in Kindle format from April 26, 2013 to April 30, 2013. (5 days only)
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2013
The Law Offices of Edward A. Smith announces the publication in Kindle form of the already widely distributed book 'The Ultimate California Auto Accident Handbook'.
The most recently published studies from the Centers for Disease Control found that motor vehicle collisions continue to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Fortunately, most collisions do not result in fatality. Nonetheless, this same report indicates that on average more than 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers in this country sought medical attention on an emergency basis as a result of injuries sustained in motor vehicle collisions.
Fatalities and injuries can wreak havoc on the victims´ family and friends. Besides an emotional toll, the aftermath of a collision may also result in either the loss of a wage earner or loss of employment. For many families even the forfeiture of a few hours of pay can impact a families ability to make ends meet at the end of the month.
Complicating consumers lives is the loss of transport to school and work when a vehicle becomes inoperable after the crash. Dealing with these changes and losses can be difficult. Knowing how to process a claim can be overwhelming.
Therefore, long-time personal injury lawyer, Edward A. Smith, recommends people understand the process of presenting a claim prior to tragedy striking. He states. 'It's absolutely vital consumers understand the rules and the process because once one resolves a claim, that's final! Knowledge is power. Empower yourself and the chances of being taken advantage of are far smaller.'
Edward A. Smith has been a trial lawyer since 1982, has a coveted Avvo rating of 10.0, has successfully resolved thousands of California automobile accident cases, and provides free case evaluation for those who have suffered injuries in these types of collisions. Further information and resources are available at no cost and are published on http://www.AutoAccident.com. This book is available in standard form and as a Kindle download through Amazon.com. It will be availabe as a Kindle download at no charge through April 30, 2013.

RGV KVEO (NEWSCENTER 23) — Getting in shape is always a popular new year's resolution.
One way to do that is by joining a gym, but you may be asked to sign a contract.
In todays' Angie's' list report, questions you should ask yourself before signing the dotted line.
Picking a gym can be a workout, different facilities have various specialties and prices, all which can be overwhelming to the consumer.
Additionally, many gyms may require you sign a contract.
"If getting fit is the top of your New Year Resolution list, be sure you understand what you are signing yourself up for before you sign up for a gym, especially if you haven't been an avid fitness person before. You want to make sure your contract has flexibility in case you change your mind."
Read the document carefully and don't sign it immediately.
Take the contract home and take the time to make sure you understand the fine print, including what happens if you break it.
If you do change your mind, most states provide specific gym and health club cooling off protections for consumers, typically ranging from three to five days.
If you're hesitant about getting into a long term commitment, consider a club or classes that don't require a contract.
Many centers offer contract free plans with access to many amenities.
Ask how an injury or move to a new area might affect your contract.
Some gyms allow members to suspend or cancel a membership in case of a injury or permanent disability, while others may not.
And remember, before starting any fitness program talk first to your doctor.

About This Project
I had been wanting to build something to hide the litterbox for a long time. When I saw the Printer's Console plan, I knew this was the perfect plan. I loved that Jen Woodhouse's version was completely modified to her bar plan, so I thought I could modify for my litterbox idea.
I modified the plans on size, as I was trying to use a bunch of mis-matched plywood. I also modified it to include a cat door, a cat passageway on interior panel, a vent on the back behind one of the drawers, and the stone top. I built a frame on the back to house the backing as an inset piece, as I didn't want it to be seen at all.
I learned a very important lesson during this build. Not all 1x3s are created equal. Once I got my doors assembled, they were too big for the opening. I couldn't shave off the tiny amount needed, and couldn't make anything work short of starting over with 1x4s, sawing off a small amount, and cutting down the # of "drawers" (and handles).
I wanted the inside to be fully finished (because cat pee on raw wood would not be good!). I had to finish certain "planes" prior to putting the thing together. I used kitchen and bath paint on the inside floor and sides for easy cleanup.
The stone was carryover from construction on our house 12 years ago. The handles were an amazing deal @ $1.81/each (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RO4V22/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00).

So we are not crazy!
Love your use of the buffet. Our family has discussed making a piece of furniture like this for our smaller dog. Nice to see someone has done it! Our big dog has scheduled feedings but our little dog would prefer to be a free feeder. Poor thing chokes down his food in our pantry listening to our big dog breathing under the door waiting for him to finish. When he is done we open the door and the Big, greedy dog bolts in looking for left overs. A family member has to wait patiently for the little dog to finish so he can escape the pantry. I really don't want a doggy door in my pretty swinging bi-fold doors to my pantry which is also access to our kitchen.That would be a pain to have to keep closed all day. But this buffet idea is super cute! Thanks for the inspiration.
tile top
I know this is an old post, but I'll ask anyway
I love this piece and am in the planning stages for ours. Thank you for sharing!
I am Wondering how you went about the table top. Did you install a 3/4 ply on top but not flush, allowing room for mortar and tile? If so how much room did you allow for the tile/mortar? 1/2 inch? How did you keep the surface of the tile level and uniform? Lastly, did you seal the tile with anything when you finished?
Aesthetically, the tile top really sets this piece off and I really want to make my own.

TUCSON — Saying their success would "devastate" the state budget, Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday said she does not want U.S. House Republicans to succeed in their bid to shutdown the Affordable Care Act.
Brewer said she has never been a fan of "Obamacare," and she pointed out that she was among several governors who sued — unsuccessfully — to have it declared unconstitutional.
But the governor told Capitol Media Services that once it was clear the law would take effect, she sought ways to have Arizona take advantage of a key provision rewarding states that expand their Medicaid programs. In this state, that is the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which she described as the "gold standard" of Medicaid programs.
She said that made it worthwhile to fight with members of her own Republican Party — and even form an alliance with legislative Democrats — to push the plan through.
"The bottom line is we need that money in our economy to save rural hospitals and jobs in the rural areas," the governor said.
"We need to make sure that in metropolitan areas that are seeing the majority of our AHCCCS patients are getting paid," she continued."It's all about jobs and getting back federal dollars that our taxpayers have paid to the federal government, to bring them home."
Brewer estimates the Affordable Care Act will produce $1.6 billion in payments a year to the state's Medicaid program, and she said there is no direct cost to Arizona taxpayers, with the state's share being paid by a tax on hospitals.
It is that concern that is causing the normally partisan governor to lash out at congressional Republicans as much as she criticizes the president for the shutdown in Washington over the issue of repealing the Affordable Care Act.
"It's pretty clear that the Obama administration does not want to compromise one iota," the Republican governor said.
But asked if House Speaker John Boehner is wrong in refusing to put a clean "continuing resolution" on the floor for a vote —- one without repeal or delay of the Affordable Care Act — the normally partisan GOP governor said it would be wrong to put all the blame on that side.
"I will agree that Congress doesn't want to compromise one iota," she explained.
"They need to come together," Brewer continued. "They have to understand it's their job to get it done."
And Brewer said those involved need to be realistic and recognize that "Obamacare" was enacted, it remains the law — and the votes are not there to repeal it.
"I've been in contact with our federal delegation and been in contact with the White House," she said. "I'm hopeful that they understand, just like most policy-making people understand, that you don't always get it 100 percent your way."
Brewer's interest goes beyond partisan politics.
In pursuing Medicaid expansion — and tapping into the Affordable Care Act — the governor caused a schism in her own Republican Party earlier this year. If the federal law goes away, then the problems Brewer created in her party will have been for naught.
But the governor said that's only a piece of the fallout if Arizona does not get the money from Washington she is counting on.
"If it doesn't happen, then we will be faced with a calamity," she said.
One piece of that deals with the fact that Arizona stopped enrolling single adults in the program three years ago despite a voter mandate to provide care for everyone below the federal poverty level. But a bid to force the state to fund them faltered when the judges said the initiative required Arizona to use only "available" funds.
Now, however, the state ended the most recent fiscal year with close to $1 billion in the bank, not counting another $450 million in a "rainy day" fund. Brewer said she fears what will happen if a new lawsuit is brought and Arizona does not get the cash it is counting on from the Affordable Care Act.
"We will be forced by the courts to take those dollars out of our budget to pay for it," she said, meaning less money for other programs.
Brewer said she has expressed her fears to members of the state's congressional delegation, many of who are part of the bid to kill or delay Obamacare by refusing to approve continuing federal funding.
"I don't know if they realize the extent of what will take place," she said.
Brewer said while she thinks some elements of the Affordable Care Act are bad, she recognizes that it was the product of a compromise. And the part she wants — funds for Medicaid — were part of the package deal.
"I believe that Obama health care is something that the public did not like," Brewer said, which is why she tried to kill it in court.
"We lost, they won," she said. "It's the law of the land."
And Brewer said that's the message she is trying to give to the state's delegation.
"What I try to say is, 'Do your job, get something out of Congress, get continuing resolutions, and you always have the opportunity to go back and address Obama health care, and you can amend it,'" she said.
Brewer's position is shared by Rep. Jonathan Orr, R-Tucson, who split with the GOP majority to vote for Medicaid expansion. One of the reasons the governor was in Tucson Wednesday was for a fundraiser for him.
"My argument is, if you don't like something, this is the current law of the land," Orr said. "Make it better instead of thrashing and saying 'We're going to stop this' when you clearly don't have the votes to do it."

Notes & Reviews:
Jean Sibelius is best known for his seven symphonies and violin concerto - two genres usually thought of as 'absolute music'. But in 1894, well before he composed his first symphony, Sibelius described himself in quite different terms: 'really I am a tone painter and poet'. It was around this time that he was working on the two works presented here, both tone poems which spring from an extra-musical inspiration. The source of the Lemminkäinen Suite is the Finnish national epic Kalevala, and its four movements - of which especially The Swan of Tuonela is often performed separately - tell of the adventures of the young hero Lemminkäinen: his amorous escapades on a paradisiacal island peopled only by women, his journey to the land of the dead (Tuonela) and how he himself dies there only to be brought back to life by his mother's magic spells; and finally his return home after a long series of wars and battles. The Kalevala furnished Sibelius with the subjects of many other compositions, but for The Wood-Nymph, it was a poem by the Swedish poet Viktor Rydberg that provided the inspiration - the story of a carefree young man who, lost in a forest, encounters a nymph and is seduced by her, only to realize that the incident has cost him any chance of worldly happiness. Although Sibelius' tone poem was warmly received at its première in 1895, it was not published in the composer's lifetime, and soon disappeared from the concert repertoire. The first complete performance of the work in almost 100 years took place only in 1996, with the performers on this disc, a team which has become almost synonymous with top-flight idiomatic Sibelius performances.
MusicWeb International, 16th May 2014
VSnskS's performance projects powerfully the first few minutes of the score; his reading has biting urgency and sweep...An abundance of detail registers and at the same time the listener gets the Big Picture too. In a word, the sound is thrilling.

The Writings of Eusebio Chacón
Mon. 1/28 7p: Eusebio Chacón, born in Peñasco, New Mexico, is arguably one of the most significant and most overlooked figures in New Mexico's cultural heritage. Dr. A. Gabriel Meléndez joins us in-studio to discuss a new collection of Chacón's writings. This collection, re-introduced, translated, and edited by Dr. Meléndez (UNM) and Dr. Francisco Lomelí (UCSB), brings together all published and written materials found and displays Chacón's versatility as an orator, translator, essayist, historian, novelist, and poet. Ultimately, the collection helps shed some much needed light on Chacón's importance to the literary tradition of the Hispanic Southwest.

Number pervades all areas of mathematics. The other four Content Standards as well as all five Process Standards are grounded in number.
Central to the Number and Operations Standard is the development of number sense. Students with number sense naturally decompose numbers, use particular numbers as referents, solve problems using the relationships among operations and knowledge about the base-ten system, estimate a reasonable result for a problem, and have a disposition to make sense of numbers, problems, and results. For example, children in the lower elementary grades can learn that numbers can be decomposed and thought about in many different ways--that 24 is 2 tens and 4 ones and also two sets of 12.
Computational fluency--having and using efficient and accurate methods for computing--is essential. Students should be able toperform computations in different ways, including mental calculations, estimation, and paper-and-pencil calculations using mathematically sound algorithms. All students should use calculators at appropriate times, setting the calculator aside when the instructional focus is on developing computational algorithms. Computational fluency should develop in tandem with understanding.

Short Film: 'The Fantastic Corpse' is a Fun Meta-Experiment in Genre Chaos
Features By Scott Beggs on September 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Chances are that you played the Rotating Corpse game at one point in your life, especially if you were brutally subjected to a creative writing class. The rules are simple — multiple artists create a single piece of art without knowing what the other artists contributed. It's how you get an elephant with a flame thrower for a trunk, or a story about a man who bakes a pie, flies to the moon and kidnaps a princess. It's often less about the disjointed final result and more about the challenge of the restraint, but a crew at Fantastic Fest decided to have some fun with it, and the result is a short film experiment that works far better than the ABCs of Death toss-up. This particular monster was cobbled together over five days by Oren Carmi (Goldberg & Eisenberg), Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes), James Ward Byrkit (Coherence), Matthew Johnson (The Dirties) and Eugenio Mira (Agnosia, Grand Piano) and features two actors who are put through the ringer in true No Hay Banda fashion. Although the central location of an empty Alamo Drafthouse movie theater seems to have restrained the restraint (some common themes and ideas persevere despite the presumed ignorance of the filmmakers), it's a fun curiosity with syrupy sarcasm and a doctor's dose of stagey violence.
'The Dirties' Trailer Looks Straight Down the Barrel of School Shootings
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 23, 2013 | Comments (1)Matt and Owen are making a movie — a comedy about getting high-caliber revenge on the bullies that make their lives hell at high school — and one of them wants to take the plot more seriously. Coming out of Slamdance as the Grand Prize Jury winner and spurred on by Kevin Smith, The Dirties could be a powerful look at a terrible phenomenon in a world where we thought movies like Elephant, The Standard and Zero Day had said everything to say. Now with a meta media twist. Check out the trailer for yourself:

13 Streaming Movies to Watch This Week
Features By Brian Kelley on July 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNetflix continues to impress with its wide range of titles added each week. In the past two weeks alone there have been some solid documentaries, thrillers, comedies and independent film that have been made available. Lets take a look at a detective story from South Korea and also make a stop in Montana for a intimate documentary about identity.
This Week In DVD: Louie, Sarah, and Jeff Who Lives at Home Seek Justice with a Bag of Hammers
Features By Rob Hunter on June 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In DVD! It seems the long national nightmare is over, as through no small part of our own, This Week In Blu-ray has been found alive and well after 76 grueling days. It was just two weeks ago that we made a plea for the safe return of Neil Miller's column, and now we've gotten just that. Give it a read, and don't let the fact that he's wrong about A Bag of Hammers turn you away. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. The Sarah Silverman Program: The Complete Series Sarah Silverman brings her particular brand of crass, crazy and oddly sexy humor to Comedy Central with this series that follows her daily adventures alongside her sister Laura, her big, orange, gay neighbors Brian and Steve, her dog Doug, and an affable officer of the law named Officer Jay. Sarah the character is foul mouthed, selfish and liable to piss off just about everyone as she goes about her day to day life, and Sarah the comedienne makes her very, very convincing with comedy that wavers between smart commentary, edgy observations and poop jokes. Her antics and voice are definitely not for everyone, but if you like your laughs in the form of attractive, crude and attractively crude women you really can't go wrong with this very funny lady.
Exclusive Poster Premiere for Festival Favorite 'Attenberg'
Exclusive By Kate Erbland on February 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNew Greek cinema is a bit of a personal favorite of mine, what with my deep love of Dogtooth and my near-terrifying excitement for Alps, but I've somehow managed to miss yet another entry into the new wave – Attenberg. I have no excuse for missing the film – it's shown at a number of film festivals over the past two years, including Venice, Toronto, Sundance, Rotterdam, London, SXSW, and AFI FEST, and I've tried to make screenings at at least three of those festivals. But now that Strand Releasing is giving the film a limited release, I can finally catch it and presumably add it to my little pocket of Greek darlings. Written and directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari, the film has a solid pedigree for anyone interested in emerging Greek cinema. The film features a performance by none other than Yorgos Lanthimos, who also produced the project. You might know Lanthimos as the the writer and director of two of Greece's most talked-about films in recent years – those would be Dogtooth and Alps. Tsangari also produced both Dogtooth and Alps, along with the American indie Lovers of Hate. The film is described as an "offbeat coming-of-age film" that centers on 23-year-old Marina. Stuck in a boring factory town, Marina is at the mercy of both her father's impending death and her distaste for other human beings. And if you're at all familiar with Lanthimos' work, you'll know that such a plotline is perhaps keeping things quite simple. […]
AFI FEST: Festival Announces Award Winners; Includes 'Bullhead,' 'Attenberg,' and 'Wuss'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on November 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAs this year's AFI FEST presented by Audi winds to a close with this evening's Closing Night Gala of The Adventures of Tintin, it's time to start celebrating the films and talents that made this year's festival such a massive success. The festival announced their full listing of award winners and prize recipients at their annual awards brunch, held this morning. There are a number of winners here that have already racked up some wins and notice throughout the festival season, including Michael R. Roskam's Bullhead, Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg, and Clay Liford's Wuss, but the festival also paid special notice to Bullhead star Matthias Schoenaerts, along with their selections of shorts. The festival ends this evening with that very special Tintin screening, which both Ms. Loring and I will be attending, with animated bells on. Look for Allison's review of the film tomorrow, one she is excited to write because "this film is about pirates – my people!" Nothing but professionalism here, folks. Check out the full listing of AFI FEST's award winners after the break.
AFI FEST 2011: Clear Your Schedule for 22 Festival Favorites
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on November 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIf you've been paying as much attention to the lineup for this year's AFI FEST as the rest of us Rejects (read: quite a bit), you've surely noticed that the festival's programming is packed with a number of films that have played some of the year's biggest festivals. If you're in Southern California, the Hollywood-based (and free) film festival will give you a chance to check out the same films that played at Cannes, Toronto, Berlin, Venice, New York, Fantastic Fest, Sundance, London, and more. It's like traveling without leaving your own area code, or spending the cold, hard cash it would take to fly halfway around the world. Sounds pretty simple now, huh, shut-in? AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. Tickets for all screenings are free (and available right HERE). The complete schedule grid is online for the festival, which you can check out HERE. After the break, check out 22 festival favorites (and a sampling of some of the other festivals they've played) that you may have missed throughout the year. Not sure if they're worthy of clearing your AFI FEST schedule for? I've linked to all of our previous coverage, too, so you really have no excuse.
AFI FEST 2011 Announces Young Americans, New Auteurs, and Spotlight Titles; Includes 'Bullhead,' 'Green,' and 'Michael'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWith AFI FEST 2011 presented by Audi rapidly approaching, the festival has just announced their first slate of film selections, including the full line-up for three of the festival's most unique and important sections – Young Americans (which features film from up-and-coming American filmmakers), New Auteurs (which gives a platform for first and second features from around the world), and Spotlight (which picks one filmmaker for special recognition and screenings of their work). This year's AFI FEST is already shaping up to be a fine festival for the fall season (alliteration is so choice), and the announcement of these selections only highlights that. Today's announced films include a bevy of already buzzed-about titles from the festival circuit, including Sophia Takal's Green, Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg, Michaël R. Roskam's Bullhead, Markus Schleinzer's Michael, Justin Kurzel's Snowtown, Clay Liford's Wuss, Alison Bagnall's The Dish & The Spoon, and many more. This year's Spotlight will also shine on filmmaker Joe Swanberg, who will show all three films of his Full Moon Trilogy, including the World Premiere of the final chapter, The Zone. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). After the break, check out the full list and descriptions of the films to be featured in AFI FEST's New Auteurs, Young Americans, and Spotlight sections.

Alright, so, you're getting into anime, don't know what to watch. You've heard talk of these "classics", but you're not sure which ones are actually good. Don't worry, I've got a list as long as you can imagine filled with titles you might enjoy. First off, classics. You can't go wrong with the original films that helped to propel anime abroad - Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away. Spirited Away is from a later generation, but, it's still one of the biggest influences on Japanese animation enthusiasts. In terms of series, you will want to give the following a spin: (EDIT - OH GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT MY FAVORITE CLASSIC SERIES) Irresponsible Captain Tylor Outlaw Star Tenchi Muyo! (The original 14 eps) Trigun Ronin Warriors Slayers Ninja Scrolls Rurouni Kenshin Hidamari Mason Ikkoku Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamamoto) Galaxy Express 999 Captain Harlock Anything made by Leiji Matsumoto, really. And, lastly, Dominion Tank Police. There are other classics, but these are the basics that will introduce you to most genres. In terms of newer media you might be interested in: Mononoke (NOT PRINCESS, just Mononoke.) PRINCESS Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) Paradise Kiss Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge) Tramps Like Us Katanagatari Sayonara! Zetsubou Sensei! Any of the Negima! OVA's made by SHAFT. Anything by SHAFT and MADHOUSE, really. Dead Leaves Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari (The only Tenchi spin-off series worth watching) Hana Yori Dango (The single most popular Shoujo in mainstream Japanese media) Fruits Basket (The single most popular Shoujo in mainstream American media) The XXXHOLiC movie - if you like that, check out the series, but only until season 2 of the anime is it any good. Why aren't you watching Code Geass again? LELOUCHE DIED FOR YOUR SINS. Gundam Wing - watch it for Triez. The most manly of men, the kind of man who remembers of the name of every soldier who died in battle under his command. Excel Saga FLCL Do NOT pick up one of the uber-huge series like Naruto. The problem with those lie in the creation process - they crank out episodes for each chapter of the manga without giving the author pause, leaving huge gaps and filler made with little funding and poor quality animation. It will turn you into a lifeless husk. Also, don't watch Boku no Pico, no matter what 4chan says. Trust me. No, seriously, don't watch it. Stop, why are you Googling it?! OH GOD NO You also might want to check out Dirty Pair, movies by Studio Ghibli, and I must agree with another poster - Bacano! and Durarara! are both works of genius. Watch 'em, enjoy.
dont watch any.. there is my suggestion..
Oh god are those.....little boys?!@!@!#!? I am traumatized. (starts DLing Boku no Pico instantly)
I really suggest claymore, it is one of my favorites because it has what i want in a story, which very few have because they either go one way and try comedy, or just have a horrid, unrealistic storyline. Yes, there's unrealism in this one, but the story line makes up for it.
High School of the Dead !!! Zombies Stylezzzz
Macross Saga, Chrno Crusade, Hayao Miyazaki animes and Vampire Hunter D. good choice on Great Teach Onizuka. That's one of my all time favorites.
Top Tier: Monster Kaiji Mushishi Great Teacher Onizuka I recommend even if you have something against animes :P you will probably change your mind.
any studio ghibli (Castle in the sky, princess monoke, etc) any makoto shinkai (5 centimeters per second, voices of a distant star) legend of galactic heroes personally i'm hooked on one piece

This is honestly the best shirt you can purchase! Its a great price and comes with three. They are made of a super thick warm material and don't fade or shrink up. I am 6'4 180lbs and these have the length without all that extra material hanging in the back "blowout". If you like a long slim shirt style you have got to get these!

The Marshall 22 (10' beam, 2' draft (board up) and 5660# displacement) was made in both cat- and sloop-rigged versions. There are some examples for sale in the $15k range at
CBA: Cats4Sale FALL 2012 Bulletin No.159
. Catboats have stood the test of time and are relatively forgiving as long as you reef when you first think about it. They have large cockpits and make great daysailers. They are descendants of working coastal boats of over a hundred years ago and are great in light air, but can handle some pretty rough conditions that would challenge a lighter sloop like a Catalina 22 (which has half the displacement and a much narrower beam.)
Interesting, thanks! Don't know much about cat boats, but I did see one made by a local boat-builder, Com-Pac/Hutchins, at the St. Pete Boat Show this year. Loved the tabernacle mast; it seems the easiest possible way to set up/tear down from a trailer, and apparently it works underway for low bridges too.
Never having sailed a cat boat, can you tell me a little about how they differ, for better or worse, in speed, pointing ability, and other basic sailing characteristics from a traditional monohull sloop of similar size?
It looks like the larger cat boats are generally 17-22" LOD, and while most have only a main sail, others appear to be sloop-rigged. What are the pros/cons of having a headsail/s on a cat boat?
It also looks like many of these are wooden boats, or at least have wooden spars - that gives me pause, here in FL. They appear to be relatively wide beamed, low draft, and heavy - which leads me to believe they'd be slower craft that may not sail well windward, while perhaps otherwise solid and steady sailers. Yet you say these boats are also good in light air, which seems contradictory. (?)
Almost all catboats I've seen mentioned online are located in the Northeastern US. Any reasons for this, other than maritime tradition? Are they comfortable boats to sail and crew in hot, humid, and variable sailing conditions?
Any other insights (or links to insight) you or others could share on these or other relevant points would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And prophets and doctors were in the church that was at Antioch [Forsooth there were in the church that was at Antioch, prophets and doctors], in which Barnabas, and Simon, that was called Black, and Lucius Cyreneus, and Manaen, that was the foster-brother of Herod tetrarch [that was the suckling-fr?re of Herod tetrarch], and Saul were. | 1 In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. |
2 And when they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said to them, Separate ye to me Saul and Barnabas [Part ye to me Saul and Barnabas], into the work to which I have taken them. | 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." |
3 Then they fasted, and prayed, and laid hands on them, and let them go. | 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. |
4 But they were sent of the Holy Ghost, and went forth to Seleucia [And soothly they sent of the Holy Ghost, went forth to Seleucia], and from thence they went by boat to Cyprus. | 4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. |
5 And when they came to Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of Jews; and they had also John in ministry [in ministry, or service]. | 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper. |
6 And when they had walked by all the isle to Paphos, they found a man, a witch [And when they had walked by all the isle unto Paphos, they found some man witch], a false prophet, a Jew, to whom the name was Barjesus, | 6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, |
7 that was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. This called Barnabas and Paul, and desired to hear the word of God. | 7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. |
8 But Elymas the witch withstood them; for his name is expounded so; and he sought to turn away the proconsul from belief. [+Soothly Elymas the witch withstood them; so soothly is interpreted his name/for his name is interpreted so; seeking to turn away the proconsul from belief.] | 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. |
9 But Saul, which is said also Paul [Forsooth Saul, which and Paul is called], was filled with the Holy Ghost, and beheld into him, | 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, |
10 and said, A! thou full of all guile, and all falseness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all rightwiseness, thou leavest not to turn upside-down [thou leavest not to subvert] the rightful ways of the Lord. | 10 "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? |
11 And now lo! the hand of the Lord is on thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not seeing the sun into a time. And at once [a] mist and darkness felled down on him; and he went about, and sought him that should give [the] hand to him. [And now lo! the hand of the Lord on thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not seeing sun till a time. And anon a mist fell down on him and darkness, and he going about, sought him that should give the hand to him.] | 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. |
12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen the deed, believed, wondering on the teaching of the Lord. | 12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord. |
13 And when from Paphos Paul had gone by boat, and they that were with him, they came to Perga of Pamphylia; but John departed from them, and turned again to Jerusalem [forsooth John departing from them, turned again to Jerusalem]. | 13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. |
14 And they went from Perga, and came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they entered into the synagogue in the day of sabbaths, and sat. | 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. |
15 And after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the princes of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Brethren [Soothly after the reading of the law and prophets, the princes of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men brethren], if any word of exhortation to the people is in you, say ye. | 15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent word to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak." |
16 And Paul rose, and with hand bade silence, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that dread God, hear ye. [Forsooth Paul rising, and with hand bidding silence, saith, Men of Israel, and ye that dread God, hear.] | 16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of Israel and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! |
17 God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and enhanced the people, when they were comelings in the land of Egypt, and in an high arm he led them out of it; | 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led them out of that country, |
18 and by the time of forty years he suffered their manners in desert. | 18 he endured their conduct for about forty years in the desert, |
19 And he destroyed seven folks in the land of Canaan, and by lot parted to them their land, [And he destroying seven folks in the land of Canaan, by sort parted to them the land of them,] | 19 he overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to his people as their inheritance. |
20 as after four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave doomsmen, [till] to Samuel, the prophet. | 20 All this took about 450 years. "After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. |
21 And from that time [And from thence] they asked a king, and God gave to them Saul, the son of Cis, a man of the lineage of Benjamin, by forty years. | 21 Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years. |
22 And when he was done away, he raised to them David the king, to whom he bare witnessing, and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after mine heart, which shall do all my will. | 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.' |
23 Of whose seed by the promise God hath led out to Israel a Saviour Jesus, [Of whose seed after promise God led out to Israel a Saviour Jesus,] | 23 "From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. |
24 when John preached before the face of his coming the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel. | 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. |
25 But when John filled his course, he said, I am not he, whom ye deem me to be; but lo! he cometh after me, and I am not worthy to do off the shoes of his feet. [+Forsooth when John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom ye deem me to be, I am not; but lo! there cometh after me, of whose I am not worthy to unbind the shoes of his feet/of whom I am not worthy to unbind the shoes of his feet.] | 25 As John was completing his work, he said: 'Who do you think I am? I am not that one. No, but he is coming after me, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.' |
26 Brethren, and sons of the kind of Abraham [Men brethren, sons of the kind of Abraham], and which that in you dread God, to you the word of this health is sent. | 26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. |
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and princes of it, that knew not this Jesus, and the voices of prophets, that by every sabbath be read, deemed, and fulfilled [that by every sabbath be read, deeming fulfilled]; | 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. |
28 and they found in him no cause of death, and asked of Pilate, that they should slay him. | 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. |
29 And when they had ended all things that were written of him, they took him down off the tree, and laid him in a grave. | 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. |
30 And God raised him from death in the third day; [Forsooth God raised him from dead the third day;] | 30 But God raised him from the dead, |
31 which was seen by many days to them that went up together with him from Galilee into Jerusalem, which be till now his witnesses to the people. | 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people. |
32 And we show to you the promise that was made to our fathers; | 32 "We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers |
33 for God hath fulfilled this to their sons, and again-raised Jesus; as [and] in the second psalm it is written, Thou art my Son, to day I begat thee. | 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: " 'You are my Son; today I have become your Father. ' |
34 And he that again-raised him from death, that he should not turn again into corruption [Forsooth that he again-raised him from dead, now no more to turn again into corruption], [he] said thus, For I shall give to you the holy true things of David. | 34 The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: " 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.' |
35 Therefore and in another stead he saith, Thou shalt not give thine holy to see corruption. | 35 So it is stated elsewhere: " 'You will not let your Holy One see decay.' |
36 But David in his generation, when he had ministered to the will of God, died [Forsooth David in his generation, when he had ministered to the will of God, slept, or died], and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption; | 36 "For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. |
37 but he whom God raised from death [soothly he whom God raised from dead men], saw not corruption. | 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. |
38 Therefore, brethren [Therefore, men brethren], be it known to you, that by him remission of sins is told to you, | 38 "Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. |
39 from all sins, of which ye might not be justified in the law of Moses. In this each man that believeth, is justified. | 39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. |
40 Therefore see ye, that it come not to you, that is before-said in the prophets, | 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: |
41 Ye despisers, see ye, and wonder ye [+See ye, despisers, and wonder ye/Ye despisers, see, and wonder], and be ye scattered abroad; for I work a work in your days, a work that ye shall not believe, if any man shall tell it [out] to you. | 41 " 'Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.' " |
42 And when they went out, they prayed, that in the sabbath following they should speak to them these words. | 42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. |
43 And when the synagogue was let go [And when the synagogue was left], many of the Jews and comelings worshipping God followed Paul and Barnabas; that spake, and counseled them [the which speaking, softly counseled them], that they should dwell in the grace of God. | 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. |
44 And in the sabbath following almost all the city came together, to hear the word of God. | 44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. |
45 And Jews saw the people, and were filled with envy, and gainsaid these things that were said of Paul, and blasphemed [and against-said these things that were said of Paul, blaspheming]. | 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying. |
46 Then Paul and Barnabas steadfastly said, To you it behooved first to speak the word of God; but for ye put it away, and have deemed you unworthy to everlasting life [of everlasting life], lo! we turn to heathen men. | 46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. |
47 For so the Lord commanded us, I have set thee into light of heathen men, that thou be into health to the utmost of the earth [unto the uttermost of the earth]. | 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: " 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' " |
48 And heathen men heard, and joyed, and glorified the word of the Lord; and believed, as many as were before-ordained to everlasting life. [Soothly heathen men hearing joyed, and glorified the word of the Lord; and believed, how many ever were ordained to everlasting life.] | 48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. |
49 And the word of the Lord was sown in all that country. [Forsooth the word of the Lord was far sown by all the country.] | 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. |
50 But the Jews stirred religious women, and honest, and the worthiest men of the city [and the first men of the city], and stirred persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their countries [and cast them out of their countries]. | 50 But the Jews incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. |
51 And they shook away into them the dust of their feet [And they shook away the powder of feet into them], and came to Iconium. | 51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. |
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Ghost. | 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. |

Milford Track
Interestingly the track may only be walked in one direction, Glade Wharf to Milford Sound, during the booked walking season (late October to late April), with a maximum of 40 independent walkers permitted to start the track each day. Otherwise the track quickly becomes overcrowded and the damage to the environment increases.
The huge valleys that you'll see throughout you trek along the Milford Track are the result of glaciation over the last two million years, these glaciers carved there way through the landscape leaving behind these U-shaped valleys , ice-gouged ledges and the hanging valleys of tributary streams.
Beech trees dominate the forest of the lower clinton, beyond Mintaro the track climbs above the forest through sub-alpine scrub and into the tussocks and alpine herb communities of the pass. The higher rainfall and milder temperatures in the lower Arthur Valley produce a more diverse forest. Ferns, mosses and lichens are abundant around the track. To get a better idea of what you'll see when you're walking why not have a look at the Gallery section of this website. It includes photos people have taken while walking the Milford Track.
If you would like to read a day-to-day break down of exactly what the Milford Track entails, click here!

I don't mount - it's as simple as that. If I want to frame a print, I go to the local frame shop and explain what I want. They then mount and frame it for me.
Prints to be shipped are not mounted for reasons of both postage and security. A mounted print is actually more likely to be damaged by rough handling than one shipped between two pieces of cardboard. It takes a lot less bending to damage cardboard than photo paper! The needed force may be greater, but in my experience the postal services of the world have sufficient force to bend anything. so I include cardboard to take the damage, and leave the print unmounted.
