NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Destination Maternity Corp. (DEST - Get Report) are up 2.19% to $23.58 after it was reported that the U.S. designer and retailer of maternity apparel will continue its pursuit of Britain's Mothercare after saying today that it had two bid proposals rejected, Reuters reports.
Mothercare confirmed it had turned down an increased offer proposal from Destination Maternity of 300 pence a share that valued the U.K. company at 266 million pounds, or $453 million, Reuters said.

TheStreet Ratings team rates DESTINATION MATERNITY CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate DESTINATION MATERNITY CORP (DEST) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to -$5.91 million or 6.88% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -3.82%.
- The gross profit margin for DESTINATION MATERNITY CORP is rather high; currently it is at 54.36%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 2.57% trails the industry average.
- DEST has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Even though the company has a strong debt-to-equity ratio, the quick ratio of 0.47 is very weak and demonstrates a lack of ability to pay short-term obligations.
- DEST, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 1.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 6.5%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.

Thursday is Tax Day, which marks the deadline for Americans to file their tax returns. And a growing number of people are doing their taxes themselves this year even though the tax code keeps getting more complicated.
"The tax laws have changed so quickly and become so confusing that it's very difficult for the average person to do their own taxes," says Cynthia Jeanguenat, an enrolled tax agent in Virginia Beach, Va.
Some people are doing their taxes themselves, because they do not want to pay someone else to do it.
"I just think people should be able to do their own taxes," said taxpayer Kenny Stewart. "It helps you understand where your money really is going."
USA Today reports a government study found that many tax preparation businesses also make their share of errors, and that many people also simply do not want to share their private financial information with someone else.
The IRS is expected to receive about 140 million individual returns this year.

That's a lofty claim, isn't it? Isn't there a new "next generation" every year? Well, to answer that last question, not always. But technology is evolving at such a rapid pace in the mobile world that we can scarcely buy a phone today without something better coming out a month later. And today, just days from Samsung's announcement of the next Galaxy phone, everyone is watching with bated breath to see what comes next.
But in the here and now, HTC's One X will be within your wallet's reach in those same, few short days. The "next big thing" won't be around, likely, for months.

By Team Intern in General on Nov 13, 2008
I recently discovered the work of artist Theresa Honeywell, who made this fabulous pink knitted motorcycle cozy! Honeywell combines traditionally female crafts like knitting and embroidery with supposedly ''macho-man'' subjects such as biking, tattoos, fixing things with tools, etc. I like how Honeywell plays with gender stereotypes in a fun way and I have to say, if I ever went to someone's house and they just casually had a motorcycle in their garage with a pink knitted cozy on it, I think I would be in paradise. Check out Honeywell's website to see more of her work, including lace tattoos!

It's time to turn the tables on critics.
Restaurant critics launch and crush chefs' careers and, to some degree at least, make and break restaurants. Chefs spend years honing their craft in other peoples' kitchens before spending countless hours to open their own places; restaurateurs have typically toiled for others, then mortgaged their lives to investors. But then it all comes down to (typically) between 800 and 1,200 words about cuisine, atmosphere, décor, and service written by someone who often hasn't ever cooked in a professional kitchen or run a complex business of any kind. That's fine if a restaurant gets a four- or five-star review, but when a critic lays down a goose egg, what's a chef or restaurateur to do?
How Do Top Chefs Rate America's Food Critics?
Sure, they can take to the Web. If a chef or restaurateur is rich (and angry) enough, he can, as Jeffrey Chodorow did, take out his rage in a full-page ad (rumored to cost as much as $80,000) in the paper where his restaurant (in this case Kobe Club) was made a laughing stock. If he's big-time enough, a chef might even say his piece to the nation on TV. Guy Fieri recently did, accusing The New York Times' restaurant critic Pete Wells, on The Today Show, of having "an agenda" after the writer used 50 question marks (yes, 50) to eviscerate Guy's American Kitchen & Bar to national attention.
But not every chef or restaurateur has the platform and notoriety to be able to respond to accusations of serving drinks tasting like a "combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde" so publicly — much less to affect a critic's reputation in any lasting, evaluative way.
But what if they did? What if chefs and restaurateurs could rate critics and food writers? "OK," you can almost hear them say, "Want to visit my restaurant incognito a few times on your company's dime and complain about a mistakenly sent plate and how loud I play my music then run to your messy desk and dock me a star? Gonna judge me on cuisine, atmosphere, décor, and service? I've got a review for you, too!"
For this, our first annual critics' scorecard, The Daily Meal polled dozens of the nation's most notable chefs and restaurateurs and asked them to vote on America's best known critics. Twenty critics were rated on a restaurant review scale of zero to four stars (four being a glowing review) based on four criteria: culinary knowledge, prose style, integrity (perceived), and likability. Even better, participants could actually critique critics and writers. Yes, anonymity was granted to the chefs and restaurateurs who responded to our questions, but they're all elite industry figures, and most are household names. We could tell you who they are and where they come from, but then you'd have to kill them.
So which critics do chefs think don't know kimchi from kombu? Which ones write prose lacquered with more clichéd adjectives than there is miso on Nobu's black cod? Who writes objectively and can be trusted not to be getting his or her wedding catered for free? And which writers would these restaurant professionals want to eat or have a beer with?
America's smartest and stupidest critics, the nation's best and worst food writers, the most and least trusted reviewers in the U.S., the most likeable and unimpressive epicurean scriveners — these are the titles to follow.
First, it's important to note that both critics and other food writers were included. Several of the nation's most prominent food writers, while not regular critics per se, hold the same power to make or break restaurants by what and how they write. Second, it should be pointed out that the survey was done before Pete Wells' review of Guy Fieri's American Kitchen & Bar. It's also interesting to recognize that nobody came anywhere near a full four stars, and that nobody was given a goose egg.
The highest anyone scored in any category was 3.1 stars — Jonathan Gold, who led with chefs as the critic with the most culinary knowledge. Conversely, the lowest anyone scored in any one category was the Washington Post's Tim Carman, whose 1.4 average for the category, "But would you want to eat with them?" won him the dubious distinction of Least Liked Food Writer or Critic. (Sorry Tim, but nobody seems to want to share your table.) But we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves.
The nation's best food critic? Jonathan Gold. America's worst? The Orange County Register's Brad. A. Johnson — who was, ironically, named "Best Restaurant Critic" at the 2010 Le Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards — and who barely beat out Tim Carman for that dubious distinction. The difference between the best and worst critics as rated by chefs? One and a quarter stars. Some surprises? GQ's Alan Richman and Esquire's John Mariani were also near the top, while New York Magazine's Adam Platt wasn't far from the bottom.
Click image to enlarge.
The top three scoring critics or food writers overall as rated by some of America's best chefs were the Los Angeles Times' Jonathan Gold (2.97 stars), Vogue's Jeffrey Steingarten (2.83 stars), and The New York Times' Pete Wells (2.75 stars). These three writers were separated by about a quarter of a star, but comments about them were a little more clearly defined. About Jonathan Gold one chef wrote, "Perhaps the best of them all, art, food, politics, and music in one smooth stream." Comments overall about Jeffrey Steingarten and Pete Wells were a bit more mixed. "An excellent writer, I'm a long-time fan of his style, but he is aging too fast in the very fast-changing world of food," one of America's top chefs confided. As for Wells? "Great writer but very overrated for this position," wrote one chef. "And he was a mediocre editor in his previous position." That's right, those were the top three.
On the other end of the spectrum were Alison Cook, Tim Carman, and Brad A. Johnson. "He's a better travel writer than a food writer," explained one chef of Johnson.
Quick, who do you think most chefs would say is the most knowledgeable food critic or writer. Until 2006, many chefs would probably have answered The New York Times' R. W. Johnny (Johnny) Apple. These days, at least according to this survey of dozens of America's top chefs, The New York Times isn't even in the top five. Jonathan Gold, The Washington Post's Tom Sietsema, and (tied) the Chicago Tribune's Phil Vettel and Jeffrey Steingarten take top honors. America's smartest food critic? Jonathan Gold. "Very, very knowledgeable" noted one chef. The dullest critic according to chefs? Johnson. "He needs to learn about food and substance, and then include them in his reviews," noted one chef. Click for Culinary Knowledge Graphic
The best writer according to chefs? Jonathan Gold may have the overall score, but he's beaten out by Jeffrey Steingarten in this category. Per two chefs, Steingarten was described as a "hidden comic genius," and "wacky, irreverent, and very knowledgeable." The worst writer per dozens of America's top chefs? The Houston Chronicle's Alison Cook, who one chef called "a critic with limited knowledge in a limited market and at a fading newspaper." Ouch. Click for Prose Style Graphic
Which critics and food writers do chefs trust the most? The most trusted critic was Jonathan Gold. He kept company (perhaps aided by their newspapers) with The Washington Post's Tom Sietsema, Wells, Steingarten, and the Los Angeles Times' S. Irene Virbila. The country's least trusted reviewer was, yes, Brad A. Johnson, who was joined by Carman, Cook, Andrew Knowlton, and Josh Ozersky — the latter of whom, one chef claimed is "one of the smarter guys around, but one who was always looking to make a deal." Click for Integrity Graphic
How Do Top Chefs Rate America's Food Critics?
Critics and food writers need dining companions to help them do their jobs, but judging by chefs' scores, they'd just as soon critics ate by themselves. The highest scores for critics in this category were the lowest of all four. At the top? Jonathan Gold was dubbed the most likeable critic by this criterion. The least likeable of all? Tim Carman.
But nobody's being done any favors by reading the excerpts, right? You have to read the full reviews. So click through the slideshow to see what some of America's top chefs said about the nation's most well-known critics. Click for Likablity Graphic
As anyone who follows the restaurant criticism racket knows, the star debate runs in cycles — how many, what they mean, if they should exist — it all gets navel-gazed at every year or so, even by critics who can no longer find theirs. The Daily Meal settled somewhere between the no-star rating used by the Los Angeles Times and the five-star system used by New York Magazine.
Daily Planet, Fifth Street and Concord Lane, (111)111-1111
CULINARY KNOWLEDGE An exemplary mud-to-opera understanding of varied culinary traditions and the nation's and the reviewer's city's culinary history, and prescience when it comes to trends.
PROSE STYLE A grabby lede that doesn't try too hard to show how smart or hip the writer is; interest enough in food to actually talk about it before the 300-word mark; a balance of pithy, memorable, and zingy quips and wonderfully cadenced sentences that give insight into food; and the ability when appropriate to deliver a killer kicker.
INTEGRITY Doesn't accept free meals (or even free bottles of wine) while "anonymously" reviewing, doesn't pressure chefs or restaurateurs into catering private events for free, never wields power to secure reservations for non-work-related dining experiences, and in general measures up when facing the will-I-do-the-right-thing-when-I'm-faced-with-that-right-or-wrong dilemma.
WANNA SHARE A MEAL? Cares deeply about food and beverage and the people preparing them and can talk about them with a distinct point of view; and has the charm, lack of ego, and recognition of what they don't know to make them interesting enough to actually share a pizza or drink a beer with.

Based on Tuesday's referendum vote, the Brown Deer School District will move forward with a two-campus building project that will serve kindergarten through sixth grade in one building and seventh through 12th grade in the other.
The district has one elementary school building that's fallen into disrepair and a newer middle and high school. The elementary school will be closed under the plan; the other two buildings will be renovated to accommodate additional grades.
Question one asked whether the district could be authorized to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $18 million to tear down the elementary school and renovate the middle and high school. It was approved, 1,339-766.
Question two asked whether the district could be authorized to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed $4 million to make additional improvements to the high school gymnasium and buy related equipment. It was approved, 1,102-977.
Question one would raise taxes just more than 5%, but the district also is set to see a property tax reduction of about 4% starting next year, which would net out to just more than 1% for the taxpayer, according to the district.
The $4 million question would raise taxes an additional 2.7%.
There's no impact at all when taxpayers get their property tax bills next month, no matter what had happened with the referendum. That's because residents voted to keep the property tax the same as last year at a recent annual meeting.

I've got a shandy spot in my grow box there is light there but it can use alittle bit more. Would something like this http://www.amazon.com/Lohas-110~240V-Light-Supply-Driver/dp/B00IJRIX5A/ref=sr_1_104?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1393004428&sr=1-104&keywords=30w+led+and+driver#productDetails (ether 20 or 30 watt one) And an old heatsink off an old ATI x1550 video card work? The video card power consumption was 27 watts so I think the LED chip would give off less heat right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Guess I should give some details about the heatsink. It's copper (at lest it looks like it might be aluminum inside) |
This post was edited by Newguy27 on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 1:45
The 20-30watt LED chip modules "will" produce a lot of heat. I think the ones you referenced (20w & 30w) draw approx. 700ma with a forward voltage of 30-34v ~ although, I could be wrong. I really don't know if the ATI heatsink "alone" would be enough for passive cooling, but the heatsink/fan combination sounds workable. I would try to keep the heatsink exposed to as much air as possible, and not enclose it. Give it a try... beats having to buy a heatsink. |
found a few 20 watters'ers (led and drivers) on ebay auctions for cheaper going try to to snipe one of them for 50-70% of the buy it now prices. Thanks for your feedback. |

I bought a couple of the 50W Leds warm white. I did some measurements with a meter of current and lux and took some thermal pictures of it on the heat sink. If you read the whole thread, its just me and another guy doing some research. Were growing Orchids. I have been using T8 florescent tubes and although the Leds are brighter if you compare I think the florescent are better. Primary because a 4ft tube covers more space and a single led is more of a spot, so to get the light evenly over 4ft would be very difficult, and the price is about the same. I not through with the research and my conclusion is up for debate. Here is the link. http://www.orchidboard.com/community/growing-under-lights/74275-cheap-ebay-diy-led-2.html#post658048 |
Thanks for the topic link. My grow box is rather small (4x4 only using half atm) I thought about doing florescent tubes when building it but decided to try LEDS b/c the longer life and I had the heatsinks laying around. ATM I have: 50w warm white on a quad core heatsink 40w red/blue PCB with lens in a box with a fan 30w cool white on a old P4 heatisnk 23w CFL with reflexer all placed in a diamond shape (2 foot wide 1.5 foot long) 8-12 inches above the plants. The new 20w would go in the center were the light is weakest. Trying to grow a dwarf tomatoes and peppers they seem to be doing fine ATM just some of the tomatoes leafs started to curly (near the middle) so I think the 20watter would help. The goal is 2xdwaft tomatoes, 2x peppers, and maybe some herbs on the side. |

The led Watts you name are real light watts not equivalent. So you have 143 real watts or light without taking the color into consideration you have approx 8580 lumens. I am blooming cats and onc orchids with 4 2700 lumen t8 tubes or 10800 lumens and a little afternoon sunlight through a tinted glass window. So adding another 27 watts by replacing the cfc gets you to 8820 lumens (if my math is correct. Remember that Cfc is not directional but the leds are. You you will be really gaining more light on the subject. I bought 50W warm white leds with driver for $18 off Ebay. There are big arguments about using res/blue vrs warm or cool white leds. I have done just fine with approx 3500k (warm white) Fluorescent. They say 5000k is good for leaf groth and 3500k is good for flowering, but they also arguer about that. One guy has posted here that it really doesn't matter and says there a long thread about it. Im looking for it.Right now I do not see any advantage over T8 florescent tubes over leds. A lot less fiddling also. You can buy a good 4 tube shiny reflector hood with electronic ballast for $49 on Amazon, funny $11 shipping for 1 but only $6 for 2. |

There are lots of night stands and bedside tables out there, but this is likely the only one that will strike fear into anyone who breaks and enters into your home.
The idea is simple and frankly a little hilarious in a terrifying way. Simply put, if you hear a prowler in the night or you just want to frighten your friends, you can roll out of bed and use the night stands as an instant self defense kit. The shaft of the table becomes a bat or a club, while the surface of the table becomes a shield. At this point, you can use your accrued medieval fighting skills to beat back prowlers. Perhaps getting beat up by a night stand will give a burglar reason to pause the next time they smash in a window.

I saw alot of people on youtube adding oranges,raisins and berrys to their mead. But i've read posts of people being concerned when their fruit starts to mold. When during the brewing process is it appropirate to add fruits, how should the fruits be treated to avoid molding? Any personal preferences on what spice and fruits go good together?
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
I think most molds need an oxygen rich environment .
I found a recipe for a 1 gallon batch of mead using an orange and some raisins. it has stopped fermenting now and so i filtered it to get rid of any sediment and so my mead is rather clear and it tastes rather dry with small hints of honey, the orange in my opinion gave it an unusual flavour it needs more time to age but gets better tasting each week and i never had any trouble with mould. here is the recipe i used 1 gallon spring water 3 pounds honey 1 orange (sliced into 8 pieces) 25 raisins 1 packet of yeast to make a pomegranate melomel should i just add the pomegranate to that recipe or replace the orange with pomegranate as the orange is the yeast nutrient or something. any advice on how i can alter my recipe to make a melomel if it is needed would be most helpful
Maybe using campden in conjunction with fruit-addition would help? I added strawberries to a mead in secondary and there definitely seemed to be some white stuff forming after a week. More recently I've found that yeast seems to form on the fruit, which I guess isn't a problem!
You are speaking of making a new batch...using pomegranate? You can make a basic mead and then introduce the pomegranate when you transfer to secondary. Or you can incorporate the pom during primary phase. Or some in primary, and in secondary. People do it both ways. FWIW, the raisins are your yeast nutrient while the orange provided acidic component. You mention the mead is dry...that is probably so. Did you happen to take a hydrometer reading to see where it was? Can always sweeten it up by stabilizing with k-meta and sorbate and then adding your sugar source...but you want to make sure your ferment is complete by using hydrometer. With mead making aging is key. You may have a batch you think is disgusting initially, but a year or two or three years later it is liquid gold.
Motto: quel che sara sara
Does the fruit require any sanitation when being added to the secondary? I'd be afraid of adding some nasties to my sanitized mead.
Were you punching down the fruit a couple of times a day? WVMJ
We add most of our fruit right into the primary, and use a lot of it so loosing the essence of the fruit is not an issue. Also, I am not trying to make jam, I want fermented wine, the taste of the fruit fermented is what we are after. Once we have that I sometimes boost the aroma by adding some strawberries at the end of the intial fermentation for a couple of days. Then we rack into a carboy and let it finish. For our melomels we really like to backsweeten with honey to bring out the honey taste just a little more. WVMJ

text: Okay I need expert advice from you ladies. I was on purple and it worked well for about the first 2 weeks and then I got stuck at my current weight. I started working out about 2 or 3 weeks ago (about 80 minutes a day 6 times a week) and they didnt change my plan right away. Then on Saturday they changed my plan to Blue. Then I went in yesterday to WI and I was down about a pound. But the girl I met with yesterday didnt think my plan was correct so she emailed someone today and when I went to WI there was a Red booklet in my folder. I'm so confused.:?: Now I cant do lites bc I am allergic and today she said something about putting me on Red because I couldnt have the lites. I am so lost. :( Does this make sense to any of you experts? It seems like so much food. Should I stick with blue and just show them a red book or what?! :dizzy:

Ronimo Games might not be an immediately familiar name but the young studio has produced a number of excellent games in its short history, not the least of which are de Blob and Swords & Soldiers.
It's latest project; a PSN/XBLA-bound game titled Awesomenauts, is a call out to 16-bit gamers yearning for a bit of classic platforming-action with modern online multiplayer twist.
We had a chat with Jasper Koning, who is in charge of PR and marketing at Ronimo Games and co-founder Joost van Dongen about the upcoming game.
What's it like making a game for the PSN?
Joost van Dongen: It's great, because it allows a small studio like us to get a game released worldwide on the major consoles. Sony are really supportive, and their technical support is really good. PS3 is not the easiest device to work with, and Sony really makes up for that by answering questions quickly.
What single innovation do you think would really change the games industry for the best?
JvD: It's not so much an innovation, but I think things would get a lot better if games were more accepted. There's still a vibe about them that they're only for nerds or fifteen year-old boys. In reality, almost everyone plays games these days, but in the West it still has that stigma. If games were taken as seriously as movies, that would be the biggest change.
Jasper Koning: When the Wii became successful, we hoped it would change the way people look at games. In the end it didn't really turn out, but we're still hoping that happens some day.
Awesomenauts is akin to the PC classic League of Legends, but for those not familiar with your inspiration, how would you describe your game?
JvD: Basically, it's a fast-paced 3v3 multiplayer game. It's a platforming game where you have to destroy the enemy base, and it's got a lot of tactical depth - and it's a lot of fun!
What's the most important videogame of all time?
JK I think I'll have to go with [Nintendo's] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When I first saw it I was totally blown away, and I realised that gaming would reach awesome heights in my lifetime. I was totally sure of that once I saw Ocarina.
Now that I think about it, I'm actually torn between that and Animal Crossing. That game has such a great sense of place - it really feels like it's an alternate reality.
JvD: I'd have to say Star Control 2. It's an old PC game that nobody seems to remember, but it had this really big, RPG-like universe. It also had something I've never seen in any game since: the universe is so big that you'd never be able to explore all of it. Even in huge games like Fallout 3 you can still visit every place on the map in about 100 hours, but not in Star Control. I absolutely love it.
What's the worst thing about being a games developer?
JvD: Fixing bugs! [laughs]
JK: There's a lot of boring stuff, like the languages. Making sure everything gets translated properly. That's a really banal task, and it sucks.
JvD: Yeah, we don't have anyone at Ronimo who speaks English, Spanish and Italian... [laughs]. So we have to hire an external company to handle the localisation.
Are there any developers out there you think have done anything to move the games industry forward?
JvD I think Will Wright and Peter Molyneux. From Wright, games like The Sims and Spore, and from Molyneux, Theme Park and Black & White. What's cool about these games is that they do new things. Even if some of them don't work that well - Spore wasn't quite what people were expecting - they are still innovative.
I think Wright and Molyneux are important developers when it comes to innovation and fleshing outthese ambitious ideas.

Friday, September 05 08:32:49
Gold fell to its lowest in nearly three months on Friday before recovering modestly and was poised to post its third weekly drop in four, as a strong dollar and an optimistic view of the U.S. economy prompted selling in bullion.
The metal is under pressure as the euro languished near a 14-month low versus the dollar on Friday, struggling to regain its footing after the European Central Bank delivered a fresh round of stimulus and promised even more if needed.
Investors also refrained from taking big positions on Friday as U.S. non-farm payrolls data due later in the day is expected to give further clues about the world's largest economy and the timing of the Federal Reserve's move to raise interest rates.
Spot gold fell to $1,256.90 an ounce - its lowest since June 10, before ticking up 0.2 percent to $1,263.50 by 0622 GMT. The metal has lost nearly 2 percent this week.
Gold was also hurt after data on Thursday showed that U.S. companies hired workers at a steady clip in August and services sector activity accelerated to a 6-1/2-year high, assurances the economy was on track for sturdy growth in the third quarter. SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund and a good measure of investor sentiment, said its holdings fell 4.78 tonnes to 785.73 tonnes on Thursday - the biggest one-day drop since mid-July.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It was around this time that King Herod began arresting and persecuting certain members of the Messianic community; | 1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. |
2 and he had Ya'akov, Yochanan's brother, put to death by the sword. | 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. |
3 When Herod saw how much this pleased the Judeans, he went on to arrest Kefa as well. It was during the Days of Matzah, | 3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. |
4 so when Herod seized him, he threw him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each, with the intention of bringing him to public trial after Pesach. | 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. |
5 So Kefa was being held under watch in prison, but intense prayer was being made to God on his behalf by the Messianic community. | 5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. |
6 The night before Herod was going to bring him to trial, Kefa was sleeping between two soldiers. He was bound with two chains; and guards were at the door, keeping watch over the prison. | 6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. |
7 Suddenly an angel of ADONAI stood there, and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Kefa's side and woke him. "Hurry! Get up!" he said; and the chains fell off his hands. | 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists. |
8 The angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals," and he did. "Throw on your robe," he said, "and follow me!" | 8 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. |
9 Going out, Kefa followed him but did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real - he thought he was seeing a vision. | 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. |
10 Having passed a first guard and a second, they arrived at the iron gate leading to the city. This opened to them by itself, and they made their exit. They went down the length of one street, and suddenly the angel left him. | 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. |
11 Then Kefa came to himself and said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord sent his angel to rescue me from Herod's power and from everything the Judean people were hoping for." | 11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating." |
12 Realizing what had happened, he went to the house of Miryam the mother of Yochanan (surnamed Mark), where many people had gathered to pray. | 12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. |
13 He knocked at the outside door, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer. | 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. |
14 She recognized Kefa's voice and was so happy that she ran back in without opening the door, and announced that Kefa was standing outside. | 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!" |
15 "You're out of your mind!" they said to her. But she insisted it was true. So they said, "It is his angel." | 15 "You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel." |
16 Meanwhile, Kefa kept knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were amazed. | 16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. |
17 Motioning to them with his hand to be quiet, he told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison and said, "Tell all this to Ya'akov and the brothers." Then he left and went elsewhere. | 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place. |
18 When daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers over what had become of Kefa. | 18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. |
19 Herod had a thorough search made for him, but they failed to find him, so he cross-examined the guards and ordered them put to death. Then Herod went down from Y'hudah to Caesarea and spent some time there. | 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while. |
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tzor and Tzidon, so they joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, the king's chief personal servant, they asked for peace; because they depended on the king's lands for their food supply. | 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply. |
21 A day was set, and Herod in his royal robes sat on the throne and made a speech to them. | 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. |
22 The mob cried out, "This is the voice of a god, not a man!" | 22 They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." |
23 At once, because Herod did not give the glory to God, an angel of ADONAI struck him down. He was eaten away by worms and died. | 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. |
24 But the word of the Lord went on growing and being multiplied. | 24 But the word of God continued to increase and spread. |
25 Bar-Nabba and Sha'ul, having completed their errand, returned from Yerushalayim, bringing with them Yochanan, surnamed Mark. | 25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark. |

Erina Brady
German refugee, Erina Brady set up Ireland's first modern dance school in Harcourt Street in 1939. She hosted dance classes for children in her studio by day and slept in one of its alcoves by night. One of her students from those days, Ann Walsh spoke to Louise Denvir about Erina and her classes. We played an archive piece from Deirdre Mulrooney's documentary Nice Moves featuring a reading from the memoir of Jacqueline Robinson, a former teacher of Erina Brady's modern dance.

We have a concrete patio in our backyard, we really need to expand the patio out another 5-6 feet. We cannot afford concrete. We wanted to do brick pavers but that is also out of our budget right now. We are wanting to put our fire pit on the patio as well. Does anyone here have any ideas of materials that are budget friendly we could use for our patio expansion?
Thank you |

I think of projects in phases, and yours becomes a natural. Excavate the soil at least 6 inches. Fill with 4 inches of crushed stone, then level with an inch of stone screenings atop. You now have an usable expanded patio. And, when you're ready for pavers, it will have settled for you to level again with sand and install the pavers. Hope that helps. |

Another idea: Do you have access to rivers or creeks in your area. My nephew made a pretty sidewalk out of flat rocks gathered from the river beds. He dug up the soil and embedded the rocks level (kind of like stepping stones close together, then sowed grass seed in the soil around the stones. It was level with surrounding lawn and he just ran the lawn mower over the walkway. It was very pretty and free! |

Super in mono, Mavis, but it looks more like a park than a garden! Love the smoke from the damp leaves billowing around, reminds me of my childhood, it used to be a weekend treat for me and my father to have a bonfire in the garden, and if I was lucky I could light it! Have a great time this Christmas. Carol
A great atmosphere, Mavis, I can almost smell the burning leaves.
Glad you gave it a go, this is excellent. Perfectly timed for the silhouette against the light. He's a bit central though - I might be tempted to crop a chunk off the right hand side.
Lots of atmosphere here.
Lovely conversion
The number of times that could have been me......... Gardeners love a good bommy

Bayern Munich defender Christian Lell goes AWOL to scupper Stoke deal
Stoke AWOL: Stoke were forced to pull the plug on a move for Lell Stoke were beaten by the clock in an ambitious bid to sign Bayern Munich right back Christian Lell. Manager Tony Pulis had earlier seen his hopes of signing Luis Perea on loan from Atletico Madrid dashed once his club mate John Heitinga agreed terms with Everton. But he was alerted once Bayern tried to offload Germany Under 21 defender Lell at 2.30pm. The clubs held swift talks and a £3million deal was ready to be done, but Bayern could not locate the player in time to finalise terms. Pulis, however, did conclude the £2.75m signing of defender Danny Collins from Sunderland and sent Ibrahima Sonko on a season-long loan to Hull City. Hull manager Phil Brown went through a number of targets to try and replace Michael Turner, who signed for Sunderland for £6.5m on Monday. West Brom defender Abdoulaye Meite was one option but they couldn't agree a deal. Brown also tried to sign Manchester City striker Benjani, as did West Ham and Blackburn, but the forward looks like joining Notts County on loan.

Facebook tests 'want' button to boost retail on site
Facebook is testing a new "want" button with a group of retailers in the US, which will allow users to create shopping wishlists as it looks to beef up its ecommerce offering.
Facebook Pottery Barn page: new want button
The new Collections feature helps retailers promote their products. As well as "liking" the collections, users can "collect" or "want" products and their actions will aggregate in their timelines and appear in their friends' newsfeeds.
Products displayed will also include a link which takes the user out of Facebook to the retailer's ecommerce site where they can purchase it.
The social networking giant is testing the tool with seven US retailers, including lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, home retail store Pottery Barn and designer Michael Kors. It has not given any indication as to whether it will extend the trial to the UK.
Commerce on Facebook, or f-commerce as it has been dubbed, has been slow to gain traction. Not many retailers allow users to buy products within Facebook, despite initial hype.
In the UK, ASOS and Odeon have launched fully transactional Facebook stores, while Heinz and Magners have trialled selling one-off products on their pages.
Facebook claims that the new move is to help test product discoverability and distribution, rather than driving transactions on the social network. It does not get a fee from the retailer when a user buys one of its products.
The move, which comes at a time when Facebook is looking for additional revenue streams, is likely to prompt speculation of a bigger move into ecommerce further down the line.
If Facebook were to crack ecommerce it would give it highly valuable data on consumers' spending habits as well as providing an alternative revenue stream to advertising.
