The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. | 1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: |
2 And he said to them, I [am] a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said to me, thou shalt not go over this Jordan. | 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.' |
3 The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: [and] Joshua he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said. | 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. |
4 And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon, and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and to the land of them, whom he destroyed. | 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. |
5 And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you. | 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. |
6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee, he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. | 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." |
7 And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people to the land which the LORD hath sworn to their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. | 7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. |
8 And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. | 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." |
9 And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. | 9 So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. |
10 And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, | 10 Then Moses commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles, |
11 When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. | 11 when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing. |
12 Convene the people, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: | 12 Assemble the people--men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns--so they can listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. |
13 And [that] their children who have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. | 13 Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess." |
14 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. | 14 The LORD said to Moses, "Now the day of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, where I will commission him." So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting. |
15 And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. | 15 Then the LORD appeared at the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the Tent. |
16 And the LORD said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people will rise up, and commit idolatry with the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. | 16 And the LORD said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them. |
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us? | 17 On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, 'Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?' |
18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned to other gods. | 18 And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods. |
19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. | 19 "Now write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for me against them. |
20 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxed fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. | 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant. |
21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they form, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore. | 21 And when many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath." |
22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel. | 22 So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites. |
23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with thee. | 23 The LORD gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: "Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you." |
24 And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, | 24 After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, |
25 That Moses commanded the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, | 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD: |
26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. | 26 "Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. There it will remain as a witness against you. |
27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death? | 27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! |
28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. | 28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them. |
29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. | 29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made." |
30 And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were ended. | 30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel: |

Best camera focus techniques: 10 surefire ways to get sharp photos
Back-button focusing
The usual way to focus a lens is to press the shutter release half-way down, but many cameras also have an AF button that can be pressed without the risk of pressing it beyond half-way and accidentally taking a few shots.
It is especially useful when using this back-button focus technique to photograph moving subjects that you press the AF button without locking the exposure settings until the point at which you want to take the image and press the shutter release home.
This camera focusing technique allows you to see the subject sharp in the frame and only take the shot when the composition or lighting is just right.
It also means that if something moves into the frame, another player when shooting sport for example, you can stop the focus from being adjusted by taking your thumb off the AF button, but continue to take photographs.
Back-button focusing is also useful when photographing subjects such as plants and flowers that move about a little in the breeze.
If the shutter button doesn't control autofocus the camera won't waste time attempting to focus every time the shutter release is pressed and you can wait until the subject is in the right position to take the shot.
How to choose the best AF mode for your camera
How to focus on off-centre subjects
Hyperfocal distance focusing
This is a popular camera focusing technique that is designed to get the maximum amount of a scene sharp at any given aperture.
The traditional way of using it is to focus on the subject and then use the lens' depth of field scale (or a tape measure and depth of field tables) to find out where the nearest acceptably sharp point is.
This point, where the depth of field starts in front of the focus point, is known as the hyperfocal point.
Once the hyperfocal point is found/calculated, the lens is refocused to it so that the subject remains sharp and greater use is made of the depth of field.
The popularity of zoom lenses and consequent loss of depth of field scales has made it harder to apply this technique precisely, but you can still measure or estimate the focus distance and use smartphone apps such as DOF Master to tell you the hyperfocal distance.
Alternatively, you can rely on the principle that depth of field extends roughly twice as far behind the point of focus as it does in front and focus approximately one third of the way into the scene.
Hyperfocal distance focusing is popular in landscape photography and whenever you need lots of depth of field.
10 quick landscape photography tips
What is ISO: when to increase sensitivity, types of noise and more
Focus stacking
This is a digital technique in which several images taken with different focus distances are combined into one image that is sharp from the foreground all the way through the background.
Although it can be applied to landscape photography, it is especially useful for macro photography because depth of field is very limited when subjects are extremely close.
With the camera firmly mounted on a tripod, take the first shot with the nearest part of the scene in focus. Then, without moving the camera, refocus just a little further into the scene and take the second shot before focusing further in again.
Repeat this until you have a shot with the focus on the furthest part of the scene.
Now all the shots can be combined to create one image that is sharp throughout. This can be done manually using any image editing software that supports layers – Photoshop Elements is fine.
But it can also be done automatically using software like Combine ZM, which is free to download and use, or using Photoshop's Photo Merge function.

21-year-old sought in drive-by shooting
Police are searching for a 21-year-old man in connection with a shooting that sent two teenagers to the hospital last week.
A warrant has been issued for Carlos Monsevais on a charge of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, which includes a $500,000 bond, police said.
Lt. Jason Brady with the Corpus Christi Police Department's JET Gang Unit said police believe Monsevais is a gang member. He is wanted in the Aug. 27 drive-by shooting in the 4300 block of Delano Drive in which a 17-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were shot in the hand and in the left side of the head, respectively. The victims, whose injuries authorities said were not life-threatening, said the shooter was in a gray Mitsubishi.

One In Five Floridians On Food Stamps
One in five Floridians - about 3.6 million - is receiving food stamp benefits and the number is rising in South Florida, according to new data released by the state..
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties all saw increased enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in October.
The Sun Sentinel reports that the trend is particularly troubling for Broward County
October saw a bigger than expected increase with those on food stamps in Broward growing 0.8 percent to 282,830, despite the county dropping to 280,830 in September. In a year, Broward's food stamp rolls have jumped nearly 13 percent or more than 32,000 people.
There may be some good news buried in the data released by Florida's Department for Children and Families. For one, enrollment seems to be stabilizing. "Right now we're seeing a 0.4 percent increase or a 1 percent increase [in food stamp enrollment]," said Erin Gillespie, press secretary for the DCF. "A few years ago we were seeing 10, 12 percent increases every month."
Even more promising, Gillespie said, is that the average benefit is dropping. Which means the average recipient is doing better financially. "In January 2011, the average monthly benefit was $253 for a family," Gillespie said. "Today, it's about $247."
Not a huge drop, she admitted, but a healthy trend.
Perhaps the best trend, Gillespie noted, is that the number of food stamp recipients finding work has jumped more than 20 percent during the past year-and-a-half.
"People come onto the food stamp program when they're in times of crisis. They have lost their job. Maybe their house is in foreclosure. They're children are hungry. They need emergency assistance," Gillespie said. "And so what we're seeing is that people who have been on the program for a few months now are able to find employment."

PANAJI: Panchayat elections in Goa will be held on May 16. The state government on Monday notified the election date to 185 of the 189 village panchayats in the state.
The code of conduct comes into force with effect from Tuesday.
Though the notification was signed and was being uploaded onto the official website of the department of printing and stationary till late Monday evening, sources confirmed that casting of votes by ballot will be held on May 16 to elect 1,483 members to 185 panchayats in the state.
Counting of votes will be held on May 17 and 18. Since electronic voting machines are not being used for the panchayat elections, counting will be done manually.
The term of the 185 panchayats ends on May 19. Elections to Taleigao, Alorna, Chandel-Hassapur and Casarvanem village panchayats will be held later since their term does not end as yet.
Sources said the schedule for the elections including the date for filing of nominations, last date of withdrawal, scrutiny and other important dates of the electoral process will be notified by the state election commission within two or three days.
The government has also notified the of for the and the reservations for women as well as the reservations for ST and OBC. While the reservation wards for women and ST and OBC will be done through the usual method of rotation, in the case of ST and OBC, the reserved wards will be rotated but only among the wards that have 20% or higher population of ST or OBC population. Also, while women have the usual 33% reservation, the reservation for ST and OBC is limited to 50% in every village, sources said.

Anybody know of any good podcast I should subscribe to for brewing tips or just good information. just got a iPad for Christmas little easy to watch videos on the iPad then my phone thanks
Brew Bubbas!!! They are local boys too like us so you will love it even more.
Basic Brewing Radio / Video.
Malt does more than Milton can / To justify Gods ways to man -A. E. Housman (18591936). A Shropshire Lad , 1896.
Brewing network has a few good podcasts. Sunday session is fairly entertaining to say the least.
the jamil show/brewing network. the old episodes are great, he's getting a bit too into commercial practice now that he founded Heretic. BrewingTV is fun to watch.
Mick Arnett North Liberty, Iowa "Beer will change the world. I don't know how, but it will."
What's the video podcast with the bearded bald guy? I used to catch a few of his. Not sure where I ran across it though.
"La La La Lo Lo Lo Luuuke, Luuuke, I am your father, Lo Lo Lo Lu Lu Lu"- Chris Farley
I think if I had to pick one show as far as being most informative for all-around brewing, Brew Strong, from the brewing network. That said, I mostly listed to the Sunday Session these days, but that's more because its entertaining than anything else.
Fake it til you make it.
I like to listen to interviews with pro brewers on Brewing Network. The best source for tips!
Not to hijack the thread but anyone have any other favorite podcasts, not necessarily beer/brewing related? Looking for some new stuff to listen to in traffic.

I was glad I wore my nylon windbreaker. There were a number of runners and walkers on the path, and it was a beautiful day. My wakeup heart rate was 59 this morning. I fe ...

5 more miles toward my lifetime goal of 1,000,000 miles :)
Posted Wed 03 Nov 2010 1:02pm
Today's run was a duplicate of Monday's run. Almost the same wakeup heart rate. Same route. Same distance. Same performance, getting tired after 2 miles. Same weather, sunny, temperature in the low 60s (F), and a nice day. More people on the path, though. I didn't carry water with me, but I had a bottle of water in my car and took drinks at the b ...

Ran/walked About 1.5 Miles & Rode Bike 2.4 miles
Posted Mon 04 Feb 2013 12:00am
The Salt Lake Valley is still in an inversion, so my wife and I went to the gym again this morning. She walked a mile and then read her book while waiting for me. I rode the Expresso bike for 1 mile as a warm-up, and then I ran/walked about 1.5 miles, using the same ratio of running to walking that I've been using. After I stopped running, I res ...

I arch into him, drinking in his passion, instantly, willingly consumed by all that he is and could be to me.
Sara McMillan is still searching for Rebecca, the mysterious woman whose dark, erotic journal entries both enthralled and frightened her. Tormented by a strong desire to indulge the demands of her new boss while also drawn deeper into her passionate bond with the troubled artist Chris Merit, Sara must face a past as deeply haunting as Rebecca's written words. In one man's arms, Sara will find the safe haven to reveal her most intimate secrets and explore her darkest fantasies. But is safety just an illusion, when the truth about Rebecca has yet to be discovered?
©2013 Lisa Renee Jones (P)2013 Simon & Schuster
I'm proud to be a bookaholic...addicted, obsessed, passionate!!! My favorite way to relax & escape reality....
"Inside Out Trilogy"
These books keep getting better. They have a fifty shades feel to them but more mysterious. I'm looking forward to the next book because there are still a lot of open ended things left that I'm dying to know the answers to. These books are worth the credits!
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"Steamy hot and oh so good"
I had high expectations for this book after the huge cliffhanger in book one. This absolutely delivered and dare I say it was better then the first. This is not a "filler" book just to stretch the story out (like so many others out there). This story actually gives us answers and creates new and exciting questions. I can't wait for book 3. This was a breathtaking, sexy and emotional journey. And did I mention it was oh so hot and steamy too!
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"It hurts soooo good"
This was just soooo good. It gave answers to questions but it does leave me wanting more. It's as good as the first but don't despair it won't leave you hanging as bad as the first book. Lisa Renee Jones is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. What can I say? I just love the way she leaves me wanting and I do love her male characters.
Go ahead this is totally worth that credit!!
~~ "Hopeful Romantic!" ~~ Love Audio Books - Especially Historical & Inspirational Romances. ~~~ No Spoilers Here~~~ ;-)
"Wait, was I reading Fifty Shades? No, I guess not."
I was excited to listen to this book because I wanted answers to the questions from book one. Just like the first book this book is written well, great narrator, moves along quickly, was sexy and kept my interest. At times, however, I just couldn't help feeling like I was having de ja vu. Every once in a while I noticed similarities with this book and the Fifty Shades Trilogy. That being said, this series is still worth listening to and I would recommend it. Just don't be surprised if you feel a little de ja vu.
"Another 5 Stars"
I loved this book. I could not wait to download it and I knew there was a cliff hanger after reading the reviews of the first book so I waited to get started and glad I did because it would have drove me crazy. Lisa Renee Jones really knows how to keep you guessing. Although you have suspicions of how things are moving forward there are enough plot twists to keep it interesting. There is talk that there was too much filler but I did not get that feeling. I do think that there are some characters that could have their own books like Mark and Ella. Sara and Chris' characters get even more depth and still there is mystery there. I like the fact that your imagination can still run in several different directions as to what Chris' dark secrets are. I wish she would have a bit more of a clash between Sara, Chris and Sara's ex fiance. Again she leaves you with a cliff hanger and who knows where she will take us next. There are still several unanswered questions but that just leaves you wanting more. Cannot wait for Sept. Very, Very worth the credit.
Give me a Hot Sexy Book, with a good story to listen to, have that "OH MY" sigh, Love most of what I have, but want more. Tell me it ALL!
sometimes i like to read, and other days, I listen.. either way, a good book.
Again it's Chris, with all his faults, flaws, and hurt he still is the my hero in this book.
I have listened to a lot of Grace Grant's performances.. and you know. she is really starting to be a favorite of mine.
YES, i did, at the end I jumped up and screamed WHY and WHAT..cause I really thought this was the end of this series and so much was unsaid. It's not as bad as the first book, but it's enough to make me want that last book..
This keep book took me in so many directions.. in a good way. NOW THIS WAS EXCELLENTLY written. Everything (nearly) is revealed to you from the first book.. I fear that the two most important people in this book are misguided and can't seem to find a way to one another and that is upsetting when they so love one another.. Some of this was predicable. And you knew what was coming, but I can assure you, there is enough going on that you will read and re-read just to make sure you understood that right. I loveD it. it's worth a credit, or a buy and to know there is one more excites me to no end. And a TV show to boot.. Anyone that has read this series, will be excited to hear this.. I read a lot of reviews before choosing this.. in fact I almost didn't go with this, but now. I am so happy I did.. I am a sucker for romance, and yes of course the sex is important, but I like a good book that don't put me to sleep and few of these so called good ones did.. But this one. NOPE, your in it.
i live in the kentucky bluegrass and enjoy coffee in the morning while listening to a great book.
"book two is SO good!"
you already know that book one was SO good and now you want to know if the second book was just as great? well. it is.
and then some.
the characters have such depth and the love is there, albeit strained. they're trying to figure out who they are and how they can overcome past tragedies. i wanted to savor EVERY word but also, i desperately wanted them to be "okay" and didn't stop listening until this book was over. it's so good.
there's two more in the series. it's going to be a long wait. sigh.
i loved this story and grace does an outstanding job as always.
thanks to leesa for the recommendation, otherwise i'm pretty sure i would have passed this one up and that would have been a shame.
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Roller Coaster Of Emotions"
Wow. Another great book by Lisa Renee Jones. Chris and Sara are very well developed and terrific characters as well are the supporting characters. The storyline was good. There was passion, suspense, danger, love, and hot sex. I can't wait for the next installment. The journey is a dark one with two troubled pasts and two tormented people trying to find their way together. I highly recommend this book.
Grace Grant was outstanding in the delivery of the story.
"Very steamy!"
The narrator is fabulous. She is the voice of each character. The characters are layers with details, both seen and unseen.
"Too much "wondering if we could be together""
I was a little disappointed with the way the writer made Sara question whether her relationship with Chris would work out. I kept waiting for some "big" reveal about their pasts that would answer the question. Unfortunately the story line for that part of the book was severely lacking thus making it difficult to listen all the way until the end.
"Two minds!"
Yes the male characters Chris and Mark are scorching, yes the sex scenes sizzle and burn with an intensity that grips any reader and makes our girly bits tingle you would have to be dead for them not to. Yes I loved the interplay... Yes yes yes... But
the one reason that this book captivated me in the first was the mystery that was Rebecca, I felt the poor girl was sold down the river and our author decided to concentrate on the inner angst of Sarah, I thought things where looking up when we find out there's a huge secret, I was expecting a bang and a got an anti climax.
In the first book both Sarah's relationships and mystery went hand in hand, in this one Rebecca a shadow and the mystery secondary which was the reason I read and loved the series in the first place.
"Even better than the first book"
The story really evolves and you find the soft heart of the Chris ,
As always a good performance from a grace
Need to know more of what happens with the characters
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All
- |
- 3:00 pm |
- Permalink
At this year's Autism One conference in Chicago, I flashed more than once on Carl Sagan's idea of the power of an "unsatisfied medical need." Because a massive research effort has yet to reveal the precise causes of autism, pseudo-science has stepped aggressively into the void. In the hallways of the Westin O'Hare hotel, helpful salespeople strove to catch my eye as I walked past a long line of booths pitching everything from vitamins and supplements to gluten-free cookies (some believe a gluten-free diet alleviates the symptoms of autism), hyperbaric chambers, and neuro-feedback machines.
To a one, the speakers told parents not to despair. Vitamin D would help, said one doctor and supplement salesman who projected the equation "No vaccines + more vitamin d = no autism" onto a huge screen during his presentation. (If only it were that simple.) Others talked of the powers of enzymes, enemas, infrared saunas, glutathione drips, chelation therapy (the controversial — and risky — administration of certain chemicals that leech metals from the body), and Lupron (a medicine that shuts down testosterone synthesis).
Offit calls this stuff, much of which is unproven, ineffectual, or downright dangerous, "a cottage industry of false hope." He didn't attend the Autism One conference, though his name was frequently invoked. A California woman with an 11-year-old autistic son told me, aghast, that she'd personally heard Offit say you could safely give a child 10,000 vaccines (in fact, the number he came up with was 100,000 — more on that later). A mom from Arizona, who introduced me to her 10-year-old "recovered" autistic son — a bright, blue-eyed, towheaded boy who hit his head on walls, she said, before he started getting B-12 injections — told me that she'd read Offit had made $50 million from the RotaTeq vaccine. In her view, he was in the pocket of Big Pharma.
The central message at these conferences boils down to this: "The medical establishment doesn't care, but we do." Every vendor I talked to echoed this theme. And every parent expressed a frustrated, even desperate belief that no one in traditional science gives a hoot about easing their pain or addressing their theories — based on day-to-day parental experience — about autism's causes.
Actually, scientists have chased down some of these theories. In August, for example, Pediatrics published an investigation of a popular hypothesis that children with autism have a higher incidence of gastrointestinal problems, which some allege are caused by injected viruses traveling to the intestines. Jenny McCarthy's foundation posits that autism stems from these bacteria, as well as heavy metals and live viruses present in some vaccines. Healing your child, therefore, is a matter of clearing out the "environmental toxins" with, among other things, special diets. The Pediatrics paper found that while autistic kids suffered more from constipation, the cause was likely behavioral, not organic; there was no significant association between autism and GI symptoms. Moreover, gluten- and dairy-free diets did not appear to improve autism and sometimes caused nutritional deficiencies.
But researchers, alas, can't respond with the same forceful certainty that the doubters are able to deploy — not if they're going to follow the rules of science. Those tenets allow them to claim only that there is no evidence of a link between autism and vaccines. But that phrasing — what sounds like equivocation — is just enough to allow doubts to not only remain but to fester. Meanwhile, in the eight years since thimerosal was removed from vaccines (a public relations mistake, in Offit's view, because it seemed to indicate to the public that thimerosal was toxic), the incidences of autism continue to rise.
In the wake of the latest thimerosal studies, most of the anti-vaccination crowd — even Autism One, despite the ever-changing rhetoric on its Web site — has shifted their aim away from any particular vaccine to a broader, fuzzier target: the sheer number of vaccines that are recommended. It sounds, after all, like common sense. There must be something risky about giving too many vaccines to very young children in too short a time. Opponents argue that for some children the current vaccine schedule creates a "toxic overload."
"I'm not anti-vaccine," McCarthy says. "I'm anti-toxin." She stops just short of calling for an outright ban. McCarthy delivered the keynote address at the Autism One conference this year, just as she had in 2008. She drew a standing-room-only crowd, many of whom know her not from her acting but from her frequent appearances on TV talk shows, Oprah Winfrey's Web site, and Twitter (@JennyfromMTV). McCarthy has authored two best-selling books on "healing" autism and is on the board of the advocacy group Generation Rescue (motto: "Autism is reversible"). With her stream-of-consciousness rants ("Too many toxins in the body cause neurological problems — look at Ozzy Osbourne, for Christ's sake!") and celebrity allure, she is the anti-vaccine movement's most popular pitchman and prettiest face.
Barbara Loe Fisher, by contrast, is indisputably the movement's brain. Fisher is the cofounder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center in Vienna, Virginia, the largest, oldest, and most influential of the watchdog groups that oppose universal vaccination. At the Autism One conference, Fisher took the podium with characteristic flair. As she often does, Fisher began with the story of her son Chris, who she believes was damaged by vaccines at the age of two and a half. A short film featuring devastating images of sick kids — some of them seemingly palsied, others with tremors, others catatonic — drove the point home. The film, accompanied by Bryan Adams' plaintive song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," ended with this message emblazoned on the screen: "All the children in this video were injured or killed by mandatory vaccinations."
Against this backdrop, Fisher, a skilled debater who often faces down articulate, well-informed scientists on live TV, mentioned Offit frequently. She called him the leading "pro-forced-vaccination proponent" and cast him as a man who walks in lockstep with the pharmaceutical companies and demonizes caring parents. With the likely introduction of a swine flu vaccine later this year, Fisher added, Americans needed to wake up to the "draconian laws" that could force every citizen to either be vaccinated or quarantined. That isn't true — the swine flu vaccine, like other flu vaccines, will be administered on a voluntary basis. But no matter: Fisher's argument turns vaccines from a public health issue into one of personal choice, an unwritten bit of the Bill of Rights.

If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
Hello all, my name is Will and I'm a freelance Animator, Rigger, and a Visual Development artist. I design characters and environments traditionally or CG. I've been trained by some the world's best artists. Whether the person needs help in a 2D software like Photoshop, or Illustrator to something more advanced like 3D software like Maya or 3DS Max, I'm the guy to go to. I've worked on many titles; one of the biggest titles so far I've worked on was on Tomb Raider. I'm currently a Teacher's Assistant for the "Life" and "Anatomy" classes.
For the past year or so I've been helping teach several "Life" and "Anatomy" classes in a room full of 40 or more students per quarter, per class. At the end of the day, anyone can draw a beautiful picture with a smiley face on it but, if there is no understanding of what is being represented, there is no art. My job would be to help the students in understanding form follows function. Once a student can understands form and function a program such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and Maya becomes very easier for manipulate into whatever he/she desires. I'm currently in my few last days of graduation from school at the Art Institute of Los Angeles and earning my Bachelor's degree.
I only ask a few things of my students and, that is to always keep progressing in their own art. Never get frustrated if you don't understand something at first, realize that Rome wasn't built in a day. Finally, and most importantly, you must always have a high level of professionalism and respect.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
For the past 6 years I've have trained intensely in Illustrator. I use it for anything that's possible. Vectors are awesome.
For the past 6 years, I've have trained intensely in Photoshop to do anything possible in it. I understand Photoshop extremely well.
I am well-verse in American history. Most importantly I know that people don't learn unless you can give them a reason to love what they're learning. History is alive and to know where we're going as a civilization we must know where we been. While in school I was the best in advanced college level courses. I can teach anything from American history to Art history and even world history. I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree. I'm a story teller and History is the best place to get any story.
I've been drawing (traditionally and digitally) for the past 10 years. I'm currently finishing up my degree in Animation & Media arts. I'm a TA for "Anatomy" as well as "Life and Gesture" classes.
Hello, I graduated from the Art institute of Los Angeles where I got my bachelor's degree in Animation. Since then I have directed and worked on a variety of films and games.
Since I was a child, I have always been surrounded by Computers. I know a computer from the inside out. When I was studying at school, I helped pay my way through college by becoming a computer tech. I was a tech for three years and have fixed hundreds of computers. I studied computer animation and have worked with a diverse variety of software.
I'm in Animation and media Arts at the Art Institute of Los Angeles. I've been working in maya for the past 5 years and professionally in the industry for the past 2 years. I've worked in such companies as "Frame Machine," "Red Giant" and many more. I can rig, light, model, uv, animate, and some dynamics.

Home> Holiday Digestion |
Holiday Digestion
by Dave Foreman All that special holiday food often causes even the healthiest eaters to overindulge causing heartburn, reflux, indigestion and bloating. Perhaps you are eating too much protein, or combining the wrong foods. Your solutions could be as simple as a few natural supplements. Indigestion can mean either gas and bloating, or upset stomach. Heartburn, on the other hand, is usually a burning feeling that is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus and causing pain and discomfort. The overeating of the holiday can even turn those with a "cast iron" stomach into miserable people. Before we get into the supplements that may assist in your relief, we need to cover a few other issues that may contribute to your condition. First of all, try to maintain a balanced diet – carbohydrates, protein and fat. Avoid drugs that may exacerbate your condition like aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Avoiding alcohol and caffeine at the holidays,may be difficult for many, but this may be all you need to do. Lastly, try to decrease stress. This may be the most difficult thing to do around the holidays, but decreasing stress will have a huge impact on your digestive health. All of these ideas are easier said than done this time of year but nevertheless, helpful reminders. For assisting the body in being able to break down the foods you have just consumed, I recommend using a digestive enzyme. Combination products that contain protease (digests proteins), amylase (digests starches), lipase (digests fats) and even lactase (breaks down lactose) are the best. I useMulti Enzyme (The Vitamin Shoppe) but others like Digest Gold (Enzymedica), Advanced Digestive Formula (The Vitamin Shoppe's M.D. Select) and Digest More (Renew Life) are excellent products too. I recommend that you take your digestive enzyme supplement right before or during your meal. If in an hour or so you are still feeling too full or bloated, repeating the dose can be helpful. Another great supplement approach is to support the body's natural digestive function. I like to use artichoke, dandelion or other bitter herbs. You can even find Bitters (digestive bitters) that are combination formulas designed with this in mind. Gallaxier (Flora) and Bitters with Ginger (Nature's Answer) are great examples. For those who need more immediate relief, Mother Nature offers a few other alternatives. Something as simple as peppermint can provide you immediate relief from issues with gas, cramping and indigestion. Why do you think that most restaurants have mints at the counter when you leave? They don't want you to remember how bad you felt after overeating at their establishment. I find that a cup of Ginger tea (or capsules) is great for relieving the discomfort of your digestive woes as well. Ginger has many digestive support properties such as decreasing inflammation, assisting with nausea, relieving gas and supporting digestion. The final supplement to provide immediate relief would be DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). This form of licorice has been altered to remove the component glycyrrhizin which has been associated with increased blood pressure and fluid retention. DGL is great for immediate relief of heartburn and indigestion. The bottom line in addressing holiday indigestion is usually lifestyle. Avoid the things that contribute to this condition and you should be fine. But, for those cases when overindulgence is unavoidable, you now have a few things to add to your holiday "herbal" medicine cabinet to get you through the season. |

Let's look first at gay marriage. As recently as 2004, President George W. Bush's campaign was able to use it as a "wedge issue" to drive up turnout among conservatives, helping him win reelection. That year, the Pew Research Center found that 60 percent of Americans opposed gay marriage, while just 31 percent favored it. Four years later, in 2008, those numbers had shifted – though the majority was still in opposition, with 51 percent opposing, and 38 percent in favor.
By 2012, however, it was a completely different story: In July, Pew found just 41 percent of Americans opposed gay marriage, while a plurality of 48 percent favored it. Some of that shift was driven by generational changes, since young people tend to be more broadly in favor of gay marriage (though support has gone up among all age groups). The bigger change, though, was demographic: The electorate has become more Democratic, more urban, more educated, less religious, and less white – and the politics surrounding many cultural issues like gay marriage have shifted accordingly.
So might those same demographic changes portend a similar shift to the left in public opinion on guns?

Outside the Phish Show, Weed Is for Sharing, the Pipes Are Art, and the Cops Are Friendly
It didn't take long to run into weed at the Phish show. Within thirty minutes of going into Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday, we saw concert-goers generously sharing hits on their pipes and puffs on their joints and vape pens. THC wax and shatter were also being passed around. The smell of marijuana throughout the venue was strong and constant. Eric Gruneisen
Phish's infamous Shakedown, which was in the parking lot next to the show, is known for its tents of food, tie-dye shirts, Phish paraphernalia and drug paraphernalia. We spent a lot of time there Sunday to see just how many marijuana products we could find.

There was no shortage of edibles. There were weed cookies being sold for two dollars each. There were homemade butterscotch weed brownies and Rice Krispie treats. A man was selling vials of THC-infused liquid that tasted like honey.
Many tents sold glass pieces meant for smoking, some so intricate that they were practically works of art. Large multicolored pipes with glass-blown swirls, curves and spikes were plentiful. There were also the standard one-hitters available, which were more moderately priced. John Dezee, 24, was working one of the tents selling glass pipes. He works for a local private glass blower who supplies shops around town. He said they sold "onesies" the most during the weekend. He also said they sold a lot of pendants and glass spoon pipes. When asked what he and his friends were getting into the most during the three-day event, he said, "We are all smoking the shatter. Doing dabs. Nice hash dabs. We all like the best dabs here." Another man selling glass pipes was layering a THC wax that resembled butter into a vapor pen.
Eric Gruneisen
The people in Shakedown seemed to be much more open about drug usage than in the venue. Security and police were extremely laid-back. Police rolled through the Shakedown parking lot blasting the Jaws theme out of their police car and Phish fans cheered. There didn't seem to be any tension whatsoever.
Concert-goer Joey Houli said he'd rather be out on Shakedown if he was on drugs than inside the venue. "If I'm taking in the show I prefer to have a sober mind, and that way I can appreciate the music and let the music take you to that psychedelic place. If you're not going into the show, then come here and get psychedelic in the parking lot."
There were plenty of psychedelics to be found at Shakedown. Acid, mushrooms and molly were definitely around. Nitrous balloons were for sale for 3 for $20, and pretty much everywhere we went, we caught a glimpse of at least one person sucking on or holding their white nitrous balloon.

Hotel Caesar Augustus, Anacapri
Editor's Pick
Anacapri , Capri
Italy 80071
Tel: 39 81 837 3395
Concierge.com's insider take:
Everything's vertical at this landmark hotel towering 1,000 feet over the Bay of Naples. Renowned for its IMAX views, the family-run Caesar Augustus is a sweet and seductive getaway from the crush of Capri town—providing you have a head for heights. The 53 rooms (including 43 suites) are comfortably chic, with cushy chairs, big beds, and fragrant flowers. Pay extra for the sea-facing rooms with eye-popping vistas from the balconies. Four "special" suites include the one that Egypt's King Farouk used to block-book for the whole season—even though he only used it for a few weeks each year. Deepen that Caprese tan at the new two-level infinity pool and sundeck or enjoy a glass of wine from the hotel's private cellar at the terrace bar or Terrazza di Lucullo restaurant, which specializes in flavorful Neapolitan cuisine.
Open April through October.
