Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Oh, Ariel, Ariel, town where David encamped! Year by year, let the festivals come around— | 1 Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals go on. |
2 but I will oppress Ariel. There will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an Ariel to me. | 2 Yet I will besiege Ariel; she will mourn and lament, she will be to me like an altar hearth. |
3 I will surround you like a wall, and I will lay a siege against you with assault towers, and I will raise up siegeworks against you. | 3 I will encamp against you all around; I will encircle you with towers and set up my siege works against you. |
4 You will be brought down; from the ground you will speak; from low in the dust your speech will come. Your voice will be like a ghost's from the earth; from the dust your words will whisper. | 4 Brought low, you will speak from the ground; your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth; out of the dust your speech will whisper. |
5 But your many enemies will be like fine dust, the terrible horde like passing chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, | 5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust, the ruthless hordes like blown chaff. Suddenly, in an instant, |
6 the LORD of heavenly forces will come to you with thunder, earthquake, and a mighty voice, with whirlwind, tempest, and flames of devouring fire. | 6 the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire. |
7 The horde of nations fighting against Ariel, and all who make war on her and her fortress and besiege her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night. | 7 Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Ariel, that attack her and her fortress and besiege her, will be as it is with a dream, with a vision in the night-- |
8 It will be like when a hungry person dreams of eating but wakes up and the mouth is empty. Or when a thirsty person dreams of drinking but wakes up and has a dry throat. So will it be for all the horde of nations who fight against Mount Zion. | 8 as when a hungry man dreams that he is eating, but he awakens, and his hunger remains; as when a thirsty man dreams that he is drinking, but he awakens faint, with his thirst unquenched. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion. |
9 Be shocked and stunned; blind yourselves; be blind! Be drunk, but not on wine; stagger, but not on account of beer! | 9 Be stunned and amazed, blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not from wine, stagger, but not from beer. |
10 The LORD has poured on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has shut your eyes, you prophets, and covered your heads, you seers. | 10 The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers). |
11 This entire vision has become for you like the words of a sealed scroll. When they give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," that one will say, "I can't, because it's sealed." | 11 For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say to him, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I can't; it is sealed." |
12 And when the scroll is given to one who can't read, saying, "Read this," that one will say, "I can't read." | 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I don't know how to read." |
13 The Lord says: Since these people turn toward me with their mouths, and honor me with lip service while their heart is distant from me, and their fear of me is just a human command that has been memorized, | 13 The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men. |
14 I will go on doing amazing things to these people, shocking and startling things. The wisdom of their wise will perish, and the discernment of their discerning will be hidden. | 14 Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish." |

Baxter Black: Bronc years
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Calf ropers are a peculiar group of talented cowboys. I would characterize them as more serious about their work than most.
They have hobbies like small appliance repair and breeding orchids. Their calling seems to draw more of the accountant/engineering sort of mentality. Dean Oliver, Tom Ferguson, Dee Pickett, Mike Johnson and Cody Ohl are representative.
They are modest, focused, hard working and responsible.
Of course, every now and then there's a Roy Cooper or Joe Beaver that crashes the party, but in every bunch of good hardworking border collies, there's always a couple that chase cars.
Calf ropers have a pretty good career longevity compared to say, bull doggers and bareback men.
Chad told me of his conversation with one of our old-timer rodeo friends. Chad noted the old-timer's son was entering the Pendleton Rodeo this year in calf roping. The dad kinda snorted and said, "He's pressin' his luck - he's nearly 50 years old!"
"Wait a minute," said Chad, "You were 56 the last time you entered the saddle bronc, and that was in bronc years!"
Bronc years is a measure of time like dog years. A dog year is equivalent to 7 human years. A bronc year is equivalent to 2 roper years. In other words, a roper of any kind should be able to compete in rodeo twice as long as a rough stock rider.
This is demonstrated when you look at the past 50 years of the top rodeo cowboy career earnings. For every one rough stock rider, there are two ropers. The first steer wrestler doesn't show up until No. 24.
As expected, ropers think that's only fair.
When they show up to play, they're pulling their three horse slant with live-in quarters, a groom, monster truck, enough gear to outfit the re-enactment of the Alamo, several hundred feet of rope in 32-inch pieces, a laptop, a satellite TV, XM radio and a roping dummy. They camp overnight, do their deltoid presses and go to bed in their jammies.
Whereas, their counterparts, the rough stock riders, they arrive on bronc time, during the Grand Entry, with a riggin' in their war bag along with two miles of bandage tape, an exercise video of Dancing with the Stars, and a dirty shirt.
So, according to bronc time, if our old-timer friend rode rough stock when he was 56, his genetically prone son could still be entering Pendleton in 2046!
Then he could switch to roping steers or barrel racing and go for another 10. Or retire and become an investor, like Chad.

Eddy 5 years, 4 months ago
the story was top notch,and dead on factually.It reminded me of some of the great bronc riders from Craig. Harold Virden ,Marty Forrester,Chad Mcyntire,and Wes Hertzog. As kids and aspiring rodeo hands, we saw them as beacons of hope to be able to live on the road,and hit 14 rodeos a weekend in a coupe deville that lost its rag top in kansas.There were alot of top riders from here.Dean Scott was a helluva bullrider, as was Bill Lawton. Well that was my perspective; thank you for the story,i hope more are forthcoming.

You think stubbing your toe on the coffee table in the middle of the night sucks, try whacking it on a sandstone garden fountain. I know they say that beauty is pain, but I'm pretty sure they meant something more along the lines of waxing your upper lip or, well, all those other weird things women do to look pretty.
So the fountains indicate "Special Note: Recommended for use with distilled water to reduce mineral deposits and bacteria build-up". Has anyone ever been successful in keeping the circulating equipment clear of debris from birds, bugs and wind blown items? I would think if using distilled water is recommended, this may not hold up well in my backyard.
The Naples fountain looks identical and has the same model number as this one at Amazon for $314.00. http://www.amazon.com/Kenroy-Home-50198SMG-Cannonade-Fountain/dp/B0055X9R0G
we don't have the naples one, but our outdoor fountain does really well. It does get slimey around the inside edges occasionally, I just wipe it down with a paper towel to get the slime off, while it's running. I don't use distilled water, but in Vancouver, we have great soft water, so I'm not worried about a scaley build up. I absolutely love the sound of the fountain, even if my husband complains the deck around it is always wet from it splashing. We have cats... so no bird problem
I work in the electrical/lighting department in the store of a big home improvement retailer. The MSRP of these items is highly over-inflated. The woot prices are more expensive than they should be. You can find solar lights just like this, with more light output and better style, for about the same price or less.
wondering if the water supply is completely internal within the base, so you just need to fill it up once in a while?? Or does it require a 'pit' that needs to be dug under it for the water??
I can't tell about the water supply. These seem to be listed under Kenroy on Amazon. I'm not sure where I could put the solar panel spike on my balcony but I think this would be hilarious. I had set up a big ceramic planter as a pond/fountain once upon a time but the pump kept trying to float up and I gave up on it. The cats loved it, though. I really want this.
Well. I looked at reviews for a different model of Kenroy and there were a lot of complaints about missing parts and poor quality. I bought the tabletop one so I guess I'll just try that one and hold off on the larger model until I hear back from other wooters.
Nothing says "cheesy" like outdoor solar-powered lighting. While in theory these things will work for hours after dusk on a sunny day, they're useless in the morning, useless on cloudy days, and dim. It's a little more work to put in a transformer with a timer and low-voltage cabling, but the difference in performance is - well - night and day.
First thought that came to my mind with the fountains is that I'd need to constantly go pee if I was sitting out near one. Curse my mother for potty training me by turning on the water faucet.
There were some questions on water storage. We've contacted the vendor and they kindly sent us the PDF instructions. We thought these might help. Captiva Solar Fountain Naples Solar Fountain Siesta Solar Fountain
I've had this for a month and can't get it to work. What a waste of money.

Sorry for the problems. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer for some help?
Mine works but it only works when it is really sunny and shining directly on the panel. If I lived in the desert, it would probably work great. Totally not worth $80. Maybe $30.

Students explain basics of various subjects and their applications through live exhibits The programme is open to all schools and girls' colleges
Open Forum exhibition at Koti Women's College On display are tissue culture labs, e-commerce applications etcToday is the last day of the exhibition
HYDERABAD: Did you know that elephants keep standing even after they die? Or new nano gold droplets can be developed to attack just the diseased cancer cells leaving the remaining area untouched? Or that ginger and garlic are heart relaxants from 'Nature Green Pharmacy'?
At the two day 'Open Forum Exhibition' organised by students of Koti Women's College which was inaugurated here on Friday, students can discover a wealth of information about subjects and careers revolving around them through the innovative and informative exhibits made by the students.
Concepts made easy
This exhibition, which returns after a gap of seven years, is open to all schools in the twin cities and all the girls' degree colleges. Not only are the basics of Genetics, Physics, Food and Nutrition, Chemistry, Zoology, Sociology, Psychology, Languages, Mathematics, IT, Management explained, the real life applications have also been demonstrated.
On display are 'tissue culture labs', fermentation equipments such as bioreactors, 'effective learning techniques used in child psychology, 'mathematics and puzzles', 'e-commerce applications', 'evolution of languages', 'microprocessors and how they can be used to play tunes and sketch graphics' and many more exhibits.
Not only do they deepen understanding, demystifying words like 'genes', 'DNA', and 'learning disabilities', students who have constructed these projects explain each and every concept down to the last detail, looking more like teachers. Some even link it to common objects making learning fun.
Various courses offered by each department, the achievements of students, the possibilities of research and various careers that can emerge from the subjects have also been demonstrated. No wonder teachers from various schools have brought their students here. "Only a handful of boys know their minds, but a majority don't know which career to choose, such an exhibition will help," says Pramila M.K., a teacher from Little Flower High School. Students from Shankarji Memorial Girls High School seemed to have learnt a lot in a day. "We learnt about microorganisms in food, there was also a theatre show where we learnt about the HIV virus."
Saturday is the last day and the exhibition starts at 10 a.m.
