The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The God of gods - it's God! - speaks out, shouts, "Earth!" welcomes the sun in the east, farewells the disappearing sun in the west. | 1 The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. |
2 From the dazzle of Zion, God blazes into view. | 2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. |
3 Our God makes his entrance, he's not shy in his coming. Starbursts of fireworks precede him. | 3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. |
4 He summons heaven and earth as a jury, he's taking his people to court: | 4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: |
5 "Round up my saints who swore on the Bible their loyalty to me." | 5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice." |
6 The whole cosmos attests to the fairness of this court, that here God is judge. | 6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. "Selah" |
7 "Are you listening, dear people? I'm getting ready to speak; Israel, I'm about ready to bring you to trial. This is God, your God, speaking to you. | 7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God. |
8 I don't find fault with your acts of worship, the frequent burnt sacrifices you offer. | 8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me. |
9 But why should I want your blue-ribbon bull, or more and more goats from your herds? | 9 I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, |
10 Every creature in the forest is mine, the wild animals on all the mountains. | 10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. |
11 I know every mountain bird by name; the scampering field mice are my friends. | 11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine. |
12 If I get hungry, do you think I'd tell you? All creation and its bounty are mine. | 12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. |
13 Do you think I feast on venison? or drink draughts of goats' blood? | 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? |
14 Spread for me a banquet of praise, serve High God a feast of kept promises, | 14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, |
15 And call for help when you're in trouble - I'll help you, and you'll honor me." | 15 and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." |
16 Next, God calls up the wicked: "What are you up to, quoting my laws, talking like we are good friends? | 16 But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? |
17 You never answer the door when I call; you treat my words like garbage. | 17 You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. |
18 If you find a thief, you make him your buddy; adulterers are your friends of choice. | 18 When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers. |
19 Your mouth drools filth; lying is a serious art form with you. | 19 You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit. |
20 You stab your own brother in the back, rip off your little sister. | 20 You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son. |
21 I kept a quiet patience while you did these things; you thought I went along with your game. I'm calling you on the carpet, now, laying your wickedness out in plain sight. | 21 These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face. |
22 "Time's up for playing fast and loose with me. I'm ready to pass sentence, and there's no help in sight! | 22 "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue: |
23 It's the praising life that honors me. As soon as you set your foot on the Way, I'll show you my salvation." | 23 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God." |

Actor Brad Pitt poses with his partner actress Angelina Jolie on the red carpet at the 84th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California, February 26, 2012. (Photo : REUTERS/Lucas Jackson)
Despite his wealth, fame and fortunate, Brad Pitt may suffer from a condition known as "face blindness."
In a recent interview with Esquire, the 49-year-old Hollywood star hinted that he may suffer from prosopagnosia, or face blindness, a disorder that impairs a person's ability to recognize faces, even familiar or renowned faces.
Like Us on Facebook
Although he has not been tested or diagnosed with the disorder, his inability to distinguish someone's face has affected his relationship with people.
"So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them," Pitt told the magazine. "I took one year where I just said, This year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'OK, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended. ...You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited.' But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face, and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested."
Carnegie Mellon University invited Pitt Thursday to have his brain imaged and be examined by a neuroscientist and psychology professor Marlene Behrmann, reports CNN.
"Carnegie Mellon is one of the very few places that can both test for face blindness and perform the brain imaging in our state-of-the-art imaging center," Behrmann said in a press release.
He also told the magazine that, like his finance Angelina Jolie, he keeps a tight circle.
"I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends and I have my family and I haven't known life to be any happier," he shares. "I'm making things. I just haven't known life to be any happier."

The third and fourth graders who participate in the Kids for Jesus afterschool program at Our Lady of Grace Church in Howard Beach, distributed candy to Rego Park seniors and got a lesson in the true meaning of Christmas.
The children brought about 100 candy canes and some bags of Hershey's Kisses to the seniors at the Madison York Adult Home in Rego Park on Tuesday afternoon. After the kids distributed the candy, they sang Christmas songs.
The youth group was started this year by Father John Madori and is led by Cheryl Taormina.
Taormina came up with the idea to bring the candy to the seniors. "It was a lesson to the kids about goodwill and to think about doing something for others who are less fortunate and don't have as much."
The Kids for Jesus program teaches the children different lessons, including being kind to others, doing their homework and respecting their parents. They are also taught safety lessons, like never walking home alone and don't talk to strangers.
The group sets up a prayer time, and when they are finished with the lessons for the day, the kids are allowed to play in a recreation area.
The children in Kids for Jesus who visited the seniors this week are: Joseph Taormina; Nicolette Isola; Brandon O' Shea; Rosemarie Mulligan; Jessica Tufano; Sabrina Flynn; Daniela Davi; Catherine Hickey; Maggie Hennessey; Thomas Baily Watson Grun; Monica Zaharia; Domnick Siano; Joseph Didomenico; Danielle Guagenti; Peter Mulligan; Christal Taormina; Antonio Marchione; Brianna Marchione and Laura O'Shea.
Taormina is assisted by Vera Isola and Patricia O'Shea.

Glen Ellyn trustees voted on Feb. 10 to approve new regulations to protect the village's water system. (Quan Truong, Chicago Tribune / February 11, 2014) |
The board of trustees voted unanimously Feb. 10 to adopt cross-connection control regulations.
Cross connections are found in pipe systems where it's possible for safe public water and questionable water to flow into one another. If working properly, pressure from the public system should keep the unknown water from back flowing, but these have to be checked annually to make sure there isn't a drop in water pressure.
Cross-connection control devices are required in fire sprinkler systems, irrigation systems, restaurants, doctors' offices, dentists' offices, mortuaries and manufacturing plants.
Adopting an ordinance and a management plan to make sure the water system isn't contaminated is required by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The state agency has inspected Glen Ellyn's water system in the past, the last time in 2011, and has noted the village needs to have a "cross-connection control ordinance and management program."
The state agency requires that local governments that have water systems provide oversight to make sure the devices are in place where needed and that they are inspected annually.
"I think many residents may not know that they need to have those inspected and we can make them aware of that," said Public Works Director Julius Hansen, at Monday's meeting.
Village officials estimate there are about 1,986 devices that would need to be inspected each year.
To carry out the management program, the village could either do it in-house or outsource the work to a third party.
"We did a survey of other towns....We found that most communities that have a program do have someone that's an expert in the field administering the program. They're not doing it in-house," Hansen said.
Those that maintain the program with its own staff dedicate a lot of time and hours to it, he added.
A staff report noted that communities such as Carol Stream, Hinsdale, Lombard and Naperville use third-parties. Wheaton does the work in house, although their inventory is slightly less than Glen Ellyn's and the city is about twice the size, according to the report. They have a trained employee who dedicates about 20 hours a week to the program, said Bob Greenberg, utility superintendent.
Glen Ellyn village staff recommended on Monday that the village hire Aqua Backflow, an Elgin company that also provides the service to Lombard and Naperville for a one year contract. The village would pay $360 in management fees and about $4,500 for an annual survey to be mailed out to residents. The test submission fees would be $9.95 each, which would be paid by the testing plumber.
The vote was postponed after some trustees expressed concern with the plan.
Trustees Diane McGinley and Pete Ladesic wondered if the village needed to outsource the work and whether all the items on the list of the program requirements were necessary.
"It seems like it's a relatively simple thing for us to do this in house," Ladesic said, adding that perhaps it was better to start the program with the village's staff and then hand it off to a third party later if it became too labor intensive.
"I think we should walk before we run with this thing."
Village President Alex Demos and Trustee Jim Burket were also hesitant, although saying they would support trying a one-year contract to get the program started.
McGinley requested more time and the board voted 3-2 to postpone it to the next village board meeting on Feb. 24.

This very abrasive scrub contains ground almonds to exfoliate skin, but the amount of clay makes it difficult to move over skin. This isn't nearly as elegant as many other scrubs, the almonds can scratch skin, and almost all of the plant extracts and oils it contains do nothing but irritate skin. This is a natural product, but it clearly proves the point that natural does not automatically, or even frequently, equal great skin care.
Herbalism has China clay to remove excess oil, ground almonds and rice bran to exfoliate away dead skin cells, sage, chamomile and marigold to soothe inflammation and rosemary and sage to banish nasty microbes. As well, the combination of the clay and rice bran leaves a matte finish to the skin.
Ground Almonds (Prunus Dulcis), Kaolin, Glycerine, Chlorophyllin Water, Nettle, Rosemary, Rice Vinegar Extract (Urtica Dioica, Rosmarinus Officinalis), Rice Bran (Oryza Sativa), Gardenia Extract (Gardenia Jasminoides), Rose Absolute (Rosa Centifolia), Chamomile Oil (Anthemis Nobilis), Sage Oil (Salvia Sclarea), Perfume
With its beginning in England in the late 1970s (the company that later became Lush sold their first products to none other than The Body Shop!) this line captured consumers' attention with the promise of hand-made cosmetics, and since then has had its share of ups and downs. After closing down for a few years (when they were known as Cosmetics to Go), they reemerged in England as Lush, and now have a global presence and booming mail-order business. Not bad for a shop whose layout and displays look more like a grocery store's than a slick cosmetics boutique.
"Natural" is a major theme here, and we mean major. Essential oils and perfumes are infused into everything; walking into one of these stores will knock you over if you have allergies or a sensitive nose. The unique angle you'll find here is that Lush sells skin-care products the way grocery or health food stores let you shop for bulk food items. You can scoop the stuff up yourself from bins and tubs, or buy prepackaged items, some of which are refrigerated to supposedly ensure freshness (though cold is no more helpful for skin-care formulas than heat is).
Even more eye-catching are the shapes, sizes, and decorations for the numerous Lush bar cleansers. These are nothing short of artwork and are either beautiful or fetchingly cute. As clever as all that is (and some of the product names are adorably witty), none of it is at all helpful for skin. Lush's lineup for facial care is one of the most disappointing, lacking, and problematic. Most of their products are prime examples of "natural" not being inherently better for skin. Lots of natural ingredients (including many antioxidants, such as green tea or pomegranate) are good for skin. Why Lush overlooked almost all of the beneficial options in favor of harmful ones is a question worth asking, but don't expect a straight answer. The staff at Lush stores eagerly supports the company's claims that lemon and lime can decongest oily skin, or that tiger lily can "tighten skin tissues," among other far-fetched, unproven assertions. It seems that at Lush all you need for healthy, radiant skin are fragrant oils wrapped up in beguiling stories of how the product came to be or what else it's good for (it is suggested that one of their moisturizers can also be used as fragrance). The lure of the natural is strong for many consumers, but the siren song Lush sings isn't a tune your skin wants to hear.

this scrub is SO gentle, I don't even know if I can call it a scrub. I've tried both Lush and paulas choice and both are good but I have to say I prefer lush more as it has done better for my skin. Herbalism has done a pretty good job with controlling my acne :)
I have tried everything under the sun for my oily, acne prone skin. From the most expensive products to drug store, to prescription based products. Nothing has worked as good as this little pot of gold! This product, Herbalism from Lush, has changed my skin- for the better. I get compliments on how smooth and clear my skin looks. I am forty and have finally found my holy grail cleanser!
Herbalism is a pot of little green granular goodness that becomes a smooth paste when mixed with water - there is no lather and it's less abrasive than the fluffy towel you use to dry your skin after cleansing! I prefer to use it in the shower as it can be a bit too messy for the basin, unless you like green splotches everywhere. I decant batches from the pot into a smaller container so I don't use too much product. A little goes a long way and it's very easy to waste if you're not careful.
Whoever wrote this review probably has never used Herbalism. It is a very gentle exfoliating cleanser. It's not abrasive at all. In my personal experience, Herbalism has kept my acne-prone, combination skin clear and balanced. I have only had a good experience with it.
I have and use this cleanser, and it's about as abrasive as wet paper towel. It definitely isn't irritating in the slightest for me. It's about the only one I've used that is for oily skin but doesn't turn mine into the Sahara Desert. With that being said, it's kind of a pain to mix up (especially in the shower) and I'm not a fan of finding little bits of rice bran all through my hairline.

Volume 14, Number 1—January 2008
Streptococcus suis Meningitis, United States
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: Streptococcus suis, commensal and opportunistic pathogens of swine, and prevalent zoonotic agents worldwide, are α-hemolytic gram-positive cocci with 35 different serotypes (1). In humans, S. suis infection has been associated with bacterial meningitis, septic shock, arthritis, pneumonia, endocarditis, endophthalmitis, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (2,3). Most at risk are those who handle or eat undercooked pork, e.g., farm workers, butchers, and slaughterhouse workers (4). Most cases have been reported in Europe or Southeast Asia (2,3). Meningitis, first recognized in 1968 in Denmark (1), is the most common clinical manifestation of human infection with S. suis. A case of S. suis meningitis in a pig farmer was reported in the United States (5). Here, we describe another case in a 60-year-old man from San Francisco who had consumed raw pork while traveling in the Philippines.
In June 2003, this man became ill with fever, diaphoresis, headache, nausea, and anorexia. He had just returned from a 7-month vacation in the Philippines. Three days after symptoms onset, his physician prescribed doxycycline. Symptoms continued and he was admitted to a local hospital 5 days later with a fever of 38.9°C, nuchal rigidity, headache, and general malaise.
The patient described no recent contact with sick persons; past medical history was unremarkable. On physical examination, he was somnolent but fully oriented, with no focal findings on neurologic examination and only slight nuchal rigidity. He had a leukocyte count of 21,000/mm3, including 16,400/mm3 neutrophils. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed leukocyte count of 487/μL with 80% polymorphonuclear cells and 18% lymphocytes, and glucose and protein levels <20 mg/dL and <167 mg/dL, respectively. Gram stain of CSF showed gram-positive cocci in pairs (Figure). Empiric therapy (ceftriaxone, vancomycin, and ampicillin) for bacterial meningitis was begun. Computed tomographic scan of the head showed only sinusitis; findings of chest radiograph and transesophageal echocardiogram were negative.
On hospital day 2, blood cultures grew gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains. The organism was catalase-negative, bile esculin-negative, and pyrrolidonyl aminopeptidase-negative, consistent with Streptococcus spp. A latex agglutination test did not detect Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the isolate was sensitive to penicillin (MIC = 0.03), ceftriaxone, and vancomycin but resistant to tetracycline and clindamycin. Antimicrobial therapy was changed to penicillin G, 24 million units intravenously per day.
On hospital day 5, the patient complained of hearing loss in his left ear. Results of nasopharyngeal endoscopy were negative. By hospital day 7, the organism was identified by the API 20 Strep System (bioMerieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France), as S. suis serotype 2. The patient subsequently stated that he was a butcher with a culinary preference for partially cooked pork, which he had eaten in the Philippines until the week prior to onset of symptoms. On hospital day 9, a formal audiology evaluation showed severe bilateral sensorineural high-frequency hearing loss (–70 dB). The patient completed a 10-day course of parenteral antimicrobial drugs and was discharged on continued oral therapy with close followup. Two months after discharge, the patient reported much improved hearing without other sequelae.
Most S. suis infections occur in older men and patients who report contact with pigs or eating undercooked pork products. Invasion of the bloodstream can occur directly through skin abrasions or the oral or respiratory route (6). Once bloodborne, S. suis can cause toxic shock syndrome and sepsis (7). The mechanism by which the organism traverses the blood-brain barrier to cause meningitis is not known, although bacterial toxins and host inflammatory mediators may play a role (8).
Hearing loss from S. suis meningitis, although not specific for the organism, occurs frequently in half to two thirds of patients and can be irreversible (3,7,9). Administering dexamethasone may ameliorate hearing loss in some cases (10). Penicillin G is the preferred treatment for S. suis infection, although penicillin resistance has emerged in S. suis because of the farm practice of supplementing feeds with antimicrobial drugs. As an alternative therapy, vancomycin may be used (6). Thus, empiric therapy for adult bacterial meningitis (ceftriaxone and vancomycin with or without ampicillin) would likely be sufficient to treat S. suis meningitis. Although the death rate from this disease can be high, varying from 7% in one study (3) to 30% in another (6), infection can be prevented by treating abrasions promptly, wearing gloves when handling pork, adhering to proper hand washing techniques, and sufficiently cooking pork products (3).
S. suis infection may go unrecognized since many laboratories do not routinely speciate α-hemolytic streptococci. However, in the United States, specialized tests such as the API 20 Strep System (API System; La Balme Les Grottes, Montalieu-Vercieu, France) or reference laboratories are readily available for diagnosis of all unidentified streptococci. In severe cases where infection is suspected, physicians may request that laboratories conduct definitive tests to identify the organism. In countries that lack these resources and where undercooked pork is a diet staple, underdiagnosis of S. suis infection is likely. Greater understanding of this organism and its disease spectrum would promote earlier diagnosis and prevention of sequelae.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buddy Boy!
Facts about Buddy Boy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Buddy Boy's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and declawed.
Buddy Boy is 3 years old. He was surrendered to the HSCC because his owner could no longer care for him. Buddy Boy has a very affectionate and lovable personality! You're sure to always find him purring! Can you give Buddy Boy the loving forever family he's hoping to find?
Other Pets at Humane Society of Cambria County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy Boy, a Johnstown Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Johnstown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Johnstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Johnstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Johnstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Johnstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

actual drummer on "the mars volta"
John Dolmayan (born July 15, 1973 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a musician, best known as the drummer for the Armenian-American alternative metal band System of a Down, and current drummer for the band Scars on Broadway. John currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was first interested in drums at the age of 2. His father was a saxophone player. When his mother would take him to watch his father play, he would mimic his father's drummer.
Chris (Seven) Antonopoulos joined the Los Angeles hard rock band Opiate for the Masses as a drummer in 2004. Before this time he was a drummer for Vanilla Ice for three years. Opiate for the Masses are currently signed to a recording deal with Century Media Records. On 3 November release Opiate for the Masses and move to german band Atrocity and Leaves' Eyes. Since 2006 he has been a live drummer for the Revolting Cocks. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=qw-uSvr8YZk
Tell us what you think....
wonk Aksan Roker Drumer Maskulin,..
Even though John Dolmayan is by far my favourite drummer, there are a few more I just have to mention..
The drummer from Fleetwood Mac is Mick Fleetwood.
This is a tough one, because many of the drummers I respect seem to cross boundaries. For example, Vinnie Colaiuta is a very accomplished jazz musician who has happened to play on some very big albums. Manu Katche has a similar, almost global style of musicianship, and has powered Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, some Tears for Fears tunes, and many other songs.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this more in person! I ordered these for a 50th anniversary party and they are lovely. I was concerned that the color would be yellow but it wasn't. It was more of a gold color, perfect for what I was purchasing for. I did cut edges and it turned out beautiful. The proof readers were awesome too. What a great feature to have. Turnaround time was fantastic too. I can't say enough!"
"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"Personalizing this product was simple and the review team does a great job reformatting. I didn't have three courses and they did a great job re-spacing the entire menu. The menus arrived a couple days after I gave the final okay for them to be printed and they look exactly like what was shown on my iPad. The paper quality is great too, thick and sturdy. I've used both Wedding Paper Divas and Paper Style throughout my engagement and have to say I could NOT recommend Paper Style because of the paper they use. Way to thin and flimsy. Wedding Paper Divas has consistently provided me with a wonderful product. So far I've ordered our Save the Dates, one of our showers, invitations, and menu cards. Looking forward to the Thank You cards."
"The paper quality is very nice- sturdy and thick. I chose the blue ink color and it came out perfectly. I also needed this menu to be bilingual and they were able to accommodate this request by printing on the front and back (one language on each side). As usual- awesome customer service! I love my menus!"
"Very elegant menu card, the quality of paper is excellent, I would order again if I need to and I will recommend to friends"

as I was roaming around the depot with element in hand trying pvc parts and whatnot, I came upon this guy: It is slip fit 1" on one side, and threaded 1/2" on the other. the slip fit is snug around the back of the element, and I threaded a 1/2" electrical compression fitting into the other. I drilled a hole on the inside crook of the elbow to let the ground wire out. A little silicone to keep everything sealed and in place and it is done.
How did you ground this element, and how much did that wire thing cost/where was it in the store?
Did you pot it with epoxy inside the PVC? Or are you relying on the silicone alone? Have you boiled with it yet? Looks like a creative solution! TB
I like it!
This seems like a great idea, I think that I'm going to use this this weekend when I mount my elements in my kettle!
Looks like its insulated, but is it strain relieved? In other words, if you pull the cord will the PVC stay in place?
I wasn't trying to be nit-picky... Looks like a nice solution for insulating the connections. I was just wondering if you had found a way to build a strain relief into it that I wasn't seeing.

Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum) has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership.
As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.

Review: Gitzo GM2561 Traveler Monopod and Quick Release Ballhead
Steady as You Go: Gitzo's Traveler Series Monopod Is Compact, Strong
Rating: 9/10 Nearly flawless; buy it now

- · More info from Gitzo
- Reviewed by Jackson Lynch

- Categories: Digital Cameras & Camcorders, Reviews
Long considered the stepchild of its three-legged kin, the monopod has finally pogoed its way into the spotlight using exotic materials and better PR. The Gitzo Traveler Series 2 monopod and head is the standard set that sets the standard for on-the-go running and gunning. Made from light and strong (expensive!) carbon-fiber composite and magnesium, this compact steadying stick handles pro-style long zooms with aplomb and goes stealth into a jacket pocket or rucksack in a flash.
WIRED Sexy carbon-fiber mast is the lightest, most secure single-legged support out there. Quick extension and retraction, with no slipping. Redesigned head is PTFE-treated for added smoothness. Tougher than Charles Bronson, better-looking than most of your subjects.
TIRED Pricey (but oh, so worth it).

San Francisco Unified School District Bilingual Classroom Teacher - 2014-2015 School Year
Posted By: San Francisco Unified School District <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Friday, 20 June 2014, at 5:03 p.m.
San Francisco Unified School District has a high need for bilingual teachers who speak Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog or Korean for the 2014-2015 school year.
Specific openings are posted on an ongoing basis through our online application system. If you are a talented bilingual educator committed to providing all students with the quality education they deserve, we encourage you to apply online today!
As a San Francisco public school educator you'll have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students alongside supportive and talented colleagues. You will be an integral part of the district's effort to close the achievement gap and achieve social justice for all of San Francisco's students.
The San Francisco Unified School District's strategic plan, "Impact Learning. Impact Lives." places access and equity, student achievement, and accountability at the forefront of every child's education. The ideas and actions in the plan focus on one central idea: every child has the right to be well-educated. SFUSD hires teachers and other credentialed professionals who are committed to delivering rigorous instruction to all students, continuous learning and improvement, creating a culturally responsive classroom environment, and building meaningful connections with families and the community.
Bilingual Education in the San Francisco Unified School District
SFUSD is committed to ensuring that English Learners acquire high levels of English and home language proficiency, academic achievement, and skills that will lead to success in the 21st century. To maximize English Learner access to a quality education, SFUSD is currently enhancing existing English Learner Programs and providing four English Learner Pathways:
1. Dual Language Immersion Pathway: designed to ensure both English Learners and native English speakers develop high levels of English and pathway language proficiency and literacy, as well as academic competency. Designed for a) English Learners whose home language is Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, or Spanish; b) bilingual students who speak Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, or Spanish and English; and c) English proficient students.
2. Biliteracy Pathway: designed to ensure English Learners develop high levels of English and home language proficiency and literacy, as well as high levels of academic competency. Designed for English Learners who are native speakers of Cantonese, Filipino, or Spanish.
3. English Plus Pathway: designed to ensure English Learners develop English language proficiency and academic competency. Designed for 1) English Learners from low incidence languages where it is not feasible for the district to offer either a Dual Language Immersion or Biliteracy Pathway and 2) English Learners whose parents wish for their children to be in an intensive English instruction program.
4. Newcomer Pathway: designed to help recently arrived immigrant English Learner students adjust to their new language and culture in a one-year program. Designed for recently arrived immigrant English Learner students who need a period of adjustment and orientation before entering one of the core English Learner Pathways.
SFUSD is committed to attracting and retaining the best educators in the nation. Benefits of teaching in San Francisco include:
• Competitive salaries determined by experience, education level, and credentials
• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental insurance for teachers and their eligible dependents

Mother's Day Craft Ideas & Homemade Gifts to Make for Mom
By Julie
You already made Mom a thoughtful Mother's Day card so why not accompany it with a crafty gift? Here are a few fun Mother's Day craft ideas that will certainly make Mom melt.
Decorate an Apron
Decorating an apron is a great Mother's Day activity for Mom to do with the children. You'll need a white apron, fabric paints, some willing little hands and feet, a sense of humor and a dollop of patience. Use some green paint and get the kids to finger paint strands of grass and help them make some flower stalks. The blooms on the flowers can be made from little hand prints in her favorite colors. Tiny foot prints side by side with the left footprint on the right and the right footprint on the left make a great butterfly. Just draw in the body and feelers with a pen at the end. Finish off her homemade apron with the year and your children's names and you'll have a special keepsake that will give Mom a warm and happy glow every time she wears it. You can do the same sort of decorating on pot holders and tea towels, so feel free to get creative!
Flower Pots
Another fun kids activity is making Mom some personalized flower pots. You'll need some terracotta pots, acrylic paints, cellophane and ribbon for wrapping. Why not make her a set of 3 that she can keep on the kitchen window sill for herbs? Write the name of the herbs on the pots and put a packet of seeds or a plant inside each pot. Not only is this a sentimental gift, but it's really useful too. Wrap each pot in cellophane and tie with a matching ribbon to finish it off.
Garden Tools
If your mother is a keen gardener, why not give her a set of decorated gardening tools in a hand-painted pot. You'll need all the same materials for the flower pot as before, and also some wooden handled hand tools — like a small trowel and a spade. Paint the handles in bright candy stripes and tie them together with ribbon and put them into the flower pot along with some packets of seeds, a pair of gardening gloves and some hand cream, all wrapped up in cellophane and tied with a nice ribbon. Some other things that you could put in the pot are garden markers with plant names written on them, gardening string and a pair of garden shears.
A Safe Place for Needles
For mothers that enjoy sewing, a felt needle saver is a unique gift and so easy to make. Cut a rectangle of felt in one color. This will be folded in half to make the cover. In another color of felt, cut a slightly smaller rectangle. This will be folded in half inside the larger rectangle, sort of like the pages in a book. Lay the small rectangle on top of the larger rectangle and fold both rectangles over in half to make a square. Mark the center line and open up again. Using a needle and thread, sew through both layers along the marked center line seam so they stay together. Decorate the outside cover by sewing on some buttons and small bows and if you like a challenge, have a go at embroidering "needles" on it.
A Sentimental Photo Gift
There's nothing Mom would love more than being able to admire her children in custom photo décor. Whether you make some beautiful easel art for her desk at the office or stunning canvas prints for the home, she'll be absolutely thrilled to display those lovely snapshots anywhere and everywhere. Or if you want to make her something that she can take everywhere, why not create a customized iPhone case. It's easy! Just add fun photos to a design you think she'll love and let us handle the rest. Before you know it, she'll be sporting a stylish iPhone case that showcases a few of her favorite memories.
