Reviews of Lamai Serengeti
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Lamai Serengeti review
An amazing location and welcome by Chloe and Mark . Appreciated how the lodge blended so well into the landscape. Felt very wild as the lions prowled and roared close by at night! Enjoyed the way Chloe arranged the dinner tables at night so you met a different group each evening if you wished, and especially loved the birthday meal and chefs all singing!
Again an evening of star gazing on offer.
Excellent location for driving out, so much to see even close to the camp.
Lamai Serengeti
We were privileged to be able spend such a wonderful 4 days here. Apart from the last night we had the Lamai camp to our ourselves. Sacha and his team were great hosts and there was nothing that was too much trouble. Our room (no. 2) had simply stunning views across the plains toward Kenya and you could have sat there taking in the scenery and wildlife all day and not got bored at all. Our guide Gabriel who we had met before at Katavi (another Nomad Camp) was simply great and so knowledgeable. We told him that we had the best experience of our all our trips to Africa in those 4 days.
The food and overall standard of service was simply excellent.
I can't think of any holiday where our 8 days away seemed like 3 weeks! Lamai is a destination that everyone who has a passion for East Africa should go to. It's positioning high above the plains provides a really special location with unrivaled views.
Going 'out of season' had the benefit of few visitors but with great wildlife experiences - only the masses of wildebeest were missing but we saw those in the south in the first 4 days
Lamai Serengeti review
This was easily the best camp on our safari. We had previously come across Sascha and Tam when they were managing Beho Beho in 2010.
They have a degree of enthusiasm and professionalism which was not equalled elsewhere.
Lamai Serengeti
This lodge was different from Sayari Mara, as it is located in the hills and blends with it's surroundings. Here you see the cats and we concentrated on them. We had another superb guide and got close ups of a Cheetah finishing her dinner. We saw a different part of the Serengeti and had a wonderful time.
Our Banda was close to the Main House and it was nice to have our guides join us for drinks before dinner to talk about what we had seen and to plan for tomorrow. The food was delicious and varied with every meal. We had breakfast on the Lamai Wedge every morning, lunch back in camp, and a delicious dinner in the main house every evening. The managers Sacha and Tamilyn, were excellent and made everyone feel like part of a family. They had the ability to mix the guests, and were very knowledgeable about Tanzania. We loved the feel of the open bandas and the views down onto the plains. We also loved the decor of our open banda.
We would love to return again.
Friendly and relaxed luxury camp
Superb situation on a remote hill. Wonderful views. Staff excellent.
Some rooms not suitable if at all disabled.
Wonderful Lamai Serengeti
Extremely well run by pleasant Dutch couple. Food very healthy and interesting; we loved the breakfasts in the bush.
Read more about the whole safariNomad Lamia
A truly wonderful experience with the most beautiful camp in all of Tanzania.
Waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the Serengeti was excellent and the Nomad guides were top notch. Will definitely go back and use Nomad again.

FBI May Have Datamined Grocery Stores With Help From Credit Companies
Standard (442 comments)
All these posts, and I haven't seen anyone point out this tiny little detail, including the OP -
The brainchild of top FBI counterterrorism officials Phil Mudd and Willie T. Hulon, according to well-informed sources, the project didn't last long. It was torpedoed by the head of the FBI's criminal investigations division, Michael A. Mason, who argued that putting somebody on a terrorist list for what they ate was ridiculous -- and possibly illegal.
Much more fun to just bash the government than actually find out the facts, eh?

Status of Opening Lost Isle:
Sorry, party people, but Lost Isle, the popular Delta resort, will not reopen for the fifth summer running. The reasons are red tape and the owner's decision to play it safe.
Owner Dave Wheeler, who has surmounted the herculean requirements of around 40 bureaucracies, finally got most all of the permits necessary to rebuild the popular resort on Acker Island along the Deep Water Channel west of Stockton.
But when the time came for building in 2013, Wheeler's construction managers pointed out he was erecting $1.8 million worth of bar/restaurant, stage and other facilities on an island that has flooded four times since the 1990s.
Wanting to protect his investment, Wheeler decided to dredge the harbor and add rip-rap and other levee bracing to ensure against floods.
But that kicked the bureaucracy back in.
"The problem is the Department of Fish and (Wildlife)," said Wheeler. "You have to do all this work in a window so it doesn't disturb the fish."
The window is fall of this year - meaning Wheeler plans to reopen in spring of 2015. He says he's got an agreement with rocker Sammy Hagar to kick off the party.
Thank you for your continued patience and support!
Lost Isle Management
For the fourth year, Lost Isle, a resort crucial to the Delta economy, will not reopen for the summer season. The owner blames a cool economy and red tape.
Owner Dave Wheeler said he battled through a bureaucratic obstacle course and was cleared last fall to rebuild the popular resort on Acker Island along the Deep Water Channel west of Stockton.
Too late for this season.
"We didn't think winter would be enough time to get the job done," Wheeler said.
The slow economy also suggested waiting, Wheeler said. "We want to reopen on an upswing, not a downswing."
Now, though, "The Bay Area economy has heated up, and largely based on that, we've decided to go ahead and be open for early '14," he said.
Three-quarters of Lost Isle's business comes from the Bay Area, Wheeler said.
Lost Isle Bar and Resort drew about 50,000 people per season for party-hearty recreation in a funky tiki setting reachable only by boat. Authorities sometimes frowned, but the resort was a major Delta economic engine.
Wheeler said a market study showed that, for every $1 boaters spent at Lost Isle, they spent as much as $18 in the Delta at places such as gas docks, hotels, cafes, boat ramps and bait shops.
That figure may be high, said Bill Wells, executive director of the California Delta Chambers and Visitors Bureau. But there's no doubt Lost Isle was the Delta's rainmaker.
"I get inquiries from all over the United States about Lost Isle," Wells said. "Definitely, Lost Isle generated income for many facets of the economy around the Delta."
After a 2008 killing on the island, San Joaquin County Sheriff Steve Moore demanded Lost Isle greatly increase security with a helipad and other precautions.
Simultaneously, other county agencies ordered Lost Isle to replace its sewer system. Wheeler closed for a major remodel.
It is now clear that any agency that orders a Delta resort to renovate subjects it to a glacial gantlet of other government bureaucracies so numerous and costly that "business-unfriendly" doesn't begin to describe them.
In all, about 40 agencies piled on Lost Isle: San Joaquin County planning, building, fire, flood control, and environmental health, three teams of biologists, the ABC, the Delta Protection Commission, reclamation districts, Department of Fish and Wildlife, the National Marine Fisheries Service - all without coordination.
If California is business unfriendly, the Delta is business sadistic.
Wheeler has spent $250,000 a year for four years with no return on investment. Not one in 1,000 entrepreneurs could do that and not go under.
He estimates he has lost $1.2 million to $1.7 million in revenue per year. He further estimates he will spend $2 million rebuilding the bar/restaurant, docks and sewer but spend an additional $2 million on permit-related costs.
That is exactly why the Delta, for all its charms, is in some respects a floating trailer park. And a rebuke to San Joaquin leaders who do not champion reform.
"Do you really expect everybody building things in the Delta to spend 50 percent on permitting and 50 on construction?" Wheeler asked. "That's just ridiculous. And, of course, the length of time is phenomenal."
The length of time is not four years, by the way. Wheeler said he started applying for permits to remodel the restaurant when he bought the resort in 1996.
He concedes that in some years he did not progress because of cash flow problems, not bureaucracy. With a business environment like this, Carlos Slim would have cash flow problems, even if he could counterfeit pesos.
"It's been 16 years," Wheeler said. "In hindsight I look back and I just cannot believe it took this long."
The target date for reopening Lost Isle is May 1, 2014.

Whether you seek an active or relaxed day, you will enjoy Lost Isle. Located right in the Bay Areas' own backyard, it's an easy and affordable alternative vacation.
Lost Isle is a great place to come relax and meet new people in paradise. There are barbecues, picnic grounds ~ and a lot of amiable company. Yet the back side of the island is primitive with trails that invite contemplation and tranquil hikes. We currently do not have camping available. Come discover why so many people visit Lost Isle!

Blistering Report on the GPO Issued by Nader's Center for Study of Responsive Law
August 30, 2012• 94 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 were internet users, while only 41 percent of Americans 65 years or older were.
In the past few decades, the GPO has moved much of the information it provides online, printed less, and outsourced more of its printing work. This has resulted in fewer employees, lower sales, fewer physical document requests, and consumers were confronted with skyrocketing prices for print publications. Some costs have increased five-fold.
While much of this is attributable to advances in technology, it is also indicative of a federal government moving increasingly away from physical printing of documents, and that the GPO's authority as government and public printer has been consistently undermined:
• In the early 1970s, GPO had 8,572 employees. Today, it employs just 1,900.
• In FY 1993, the year GPO's online dissemination authority was enacted by Congress, GPO's annual sales were $84.1 million. Today, GPO's annual sales are just over $11 million.
• 85 percent of government printing during the 1950s was performed in-house. In FY 2011, GPO reported that about 73.2 percent of its printing work, costing $392.8 million, was outsourced.
• In 1979, an annual subscription to the Congressional Record was $75. Today, it costs $503.
"The Peoples' Printer" report makes important recommendations to improve the Government Printing Office's role in "keeping America informed:"
• Increase funding for the Government Printing Office. The GPO is woefully underfunded to achieve the admirable goal of "keeping America informed." The GPO needs adequate funding to reestablish a robust print operation as well as to expand and improve its online presence.
• The GPO should reevaluate its print procurement procedures. The current system rewards outsourcing to companies that exploit low-cost labor, creating the façade of efficiency. The GPO should institute a pay equity clause in government contracts to ensure equal pay is provided for equal government work performed in both the public and private sector.
• The Joint Committee on Printing, the GPO's oversight body in Congress, has been stagnant, ineffective, and unmoving. To change this, the independent annual appropriations for the Joint Committee on Printing, chaired by Congressman Gregg Harper and vice-chaired by Senator Charles Schumer, should be reinstated. Public hearings should be scheduled on more frequent intervals to assess the performance of the GPO in meeting the needs of the government and the public.
• GPO publications are expensive in part due to low demand for print materials caused by online access and abysmal GPO promotion and marketing. GPO should extend its sales beyond the online bookstore and implement a need-based acquisition approach that allows those with lower incomes adequate access to printed government publications.
• The GPO should use print to ensure essential archives are safe from unexpected failures or technological obsolescence.
• GPO should embrace a document disposal policy that ensures the protection of valuable government publications.
"This vision emphasizes the vital role that the Government Printing Office could play in keeping all of America informed, not just those with online access. There are great benefits in making information available online; but if we shift in this direction oblivious to the unintended consequences, we risk losing an invaluable resource," concluded Nader.

Purchased 3 of Them! Andrea from Lake Placid, NY– Verified Buyer This ceiling fan light is great. It has a bunch of fan setting so you can change the direction for summer and winter. Just have to be careful not to put too high wattage in the light as the glass could shatter. |

Every Minka fan we own has performed perfectly, and the features and styling are great. |

Tuesday, July 01 10:49:21
With Apple, Intel, Google and Facebook, already in Ireland in strength, tech startups from California are now flooding across the Atlantic to Ireland - and not just for the lower tax rate.
The San Jose Mercury News today reported that these Silicon Valley startups are setting up their first overseas offices in Dublin for a myriad of reasons, not least the fact that our Capital is undergoing a tech renaissance.
The Mercury News, reporting from the heart of Silicon Valley, explained, "Dublin looks a lot like home: a young and educated workforce, global business culture, population thirsting for new technology and Twitter and Facebook signs dotting the horizon."
"Labour and real estate are cheaper than in other European destination cities and, more than the familiar language or palatable food, the city's tech tenant roster makes Dublin feel comfortable to Silicon Valley transplants."
San Francisco-based Airbnb moved into Dublin last year, as did San Francisco cloud software company Zendesk. And San Francisco file storage and sharing startup Dropbox moving outside the U.S. for the first time opening a Dublin office in early 2013.
San Francisco-based Yelp announced this month it plans to open a 100-person Dublin office, and in April SurveyMonkey from Palo Alto unveiled plans for an office in the Irish capital within a year.
"It feels a little bit like a mini-San Francisco," said Patrick Moran, chief marketing officer of San Francisco big data software startup New Relic. "All of our startup friends are there."
In February, San Francisco's New Relic opened a Dublin office - the company's first location outside the U.S. - and plans to hire about 50 employees.
"Dublin is the launching point for our European strategy and an essential part of our global expansion plans," said Chris Cook, president and chief operating officer at New Relic.
"Now what you're seeing is much smaller companies (that) at a very early stage decided they needed a European presence," said Rory Mullen, senior vice president of IDA Ireland in Mountain View,California, an organisation funded by the Irish government that helps U.S. companies set up operations in Ireland, online magazine, The Drum reported.
These startups are the third wave of Silicon valley tech companies moving to Ireland. Beginning in the 1970s Ireland became the destination for Apple, HP, Intel and Dell to establish a European presence, get a tax break and begin expanding into the multinational corporate giants they are today. They were followed by Google, Facebook, Zynga, PayPal, LinkedIn and Salesforce.
Over the past several years, Silicon valley's tech companies have helped transform Dublin's old industrial canal docks into an area the global tech industry coined "Silicon Docks" says the Mercury News. They have groomed the next generation of tech talent, setting up an easy transition for startups to move overseas, The Drum reported.
"There are many companies that have ended up there and done well, so it gives you confidence," said Mark Harris, chief financial officer of Malwarebytes, an anti-virus software company in San Jose that is preparing to open in Ireland in the next year. "When you're making this type of leap you don't want to feel like you're on your own."
Startups' interest in Dublin has strengthened Silicon Valley's business ties with Ireland: Silicon Valley Bank has invested $50 million into Irish tech- and science-based companies and plans to double that, valley venture firms have opened offices in Ireland, and Silicon Valley VC investments in Irish startups increased 158 percent in the first quarter of this year from the same period in 2013.

I have setup all our Sheet Metal Rules to be all of our stocked in house sheet metals. The sheet metal rules are named like:
ALUM 5052 H32 1/2" (Part Number)
ST STEEL T304 3/8" (Part Number)
STEEL 44W 1/8" (Part Number)
And each rule has the proper thickness, material, and some standardized bend radius's. I've done this to introduce more uniformity in our designs, and to also allow the designer to put as much information into the model as possible, so that if someone else does the drawings, there is no question as to which material is used.
I now want to bring in the Sheet Metal Rule name into the drawing automatially. I can't seem to find a way to reference the Sheet Metal Rule directly from the drawing. What I need to do is pick a standard field in the iProperties (I used Stock Number), and put in =<Sheet Metal Rule> so that now the Stock Number references the Sheet Metal Rule, and then in the drawing I can just reference the Stock Number, and it will come in.
I don't like having to use the Stock Number as a middle man though, as none of our existing models are setup like this. Is it possible to reference Sheet Metal Rule in the drawing without having to use another field as a placeholder for the information? Thanks!
Why don't you just use a custom iProp?
Because if I use the built in fields, then it will be a part of our templates and you won't need to do anything to get the material, it will just bring it in automatically.
Custom fields can be selected only after the part is placed in the drawing.
Using a custom iProperty actually adds a step over how I have it now.
That's not true, I have templates that reference custom iProps. You just need to add a view of the part, make the reference, then delete the view and save the template. Next time you use the template it will look for the custom iProp in whatever model you place.
Thanks, that will work nicely if I can't find a way to bring in the Sheet Metal Rule directly.
Where in the drawing do you want to bring it in? If into the partslist, this may be of help to you:
You can also bring it into other areas by the same principle. I presently bring in all my rules directly into my partslist. This happens automatically.
I use ilogic to do all my material description in iproperties so if it is changed so does my description works real good no fat fingers and all descriptions from one user to the other are all the same. all my steel shapes do the same thing.
I add all of the sheet metal data to the part description including the sheet metal extenst and the thickness and material grade. I even include the shape file DXF reference. Much of this data is also populated into the part title block so that the plasma cutter can see what the material is, the thickness and square extents size and the inner and outer profile cut lengths. See graphics below. Works for us.

Corps Business
The 30 management principles of the US Marine CorpsDavid H. FreedmanFreedman firmly believes Marine methodology creates a strong and effective organization. For those who read this book, you will probably agree. As you might expect from a book that parallels the military and business management, there are many references to training, discipline, order, and sacrifice.However, a vast majority of the book gives a perspective of the US Marine Corps which is radically different than most people would expect.Provided that Freedman is correct in his analysis, the US Marine Corps is an extremely focused group which is both fast, versatile, and effective in complex situations. 1) Marines aim for the 70% solution because in the battlefield, speed and boldness is more important than perfection. Put another way, indecisiveness is a fatal flaw. It is better to make small, frequent, and rapid decisions.2) Marines find the essence of any mission. It should... read more
Until now, I've had only one book to recommend on change management, the excellent, Managing at the Speed of Change by Conner. With Corps Business, a wonderfully practical book, I have two recommendations. As a human resources professional working in the education industry, I was especially struck by the practicality of how the Marines plan, manage and lead change (especially when you have to change course, turn on a dime, and move in a new direction), develop decision making ability in Marines by making every decision making experience a learning experience, and by the leaders' commitment to leading, not managing. If only I could clone Colonel Davis! I have given copies of this book to people who direct business components -- from IT to R&D to Sales. It's a quick read, but the principles linger; I've found myself thinking of ways to apply the principles outlined in this book. It's also a chastening read for any manager whose staff is choking on management and... read more
If you're like most people when you hear military and leadership in the same sentence, you conjure up an image of a ramrod-straight, gray-haired senior officer, the very epitome of command-and-control. Or perhaps a drill instructor wearing a smokey-bear hat with his nose just millimeters away from the nose of a fear-stricken recruit.Based on the reports of David Freedman in Corps Business, perhaps we civilians need to re-think our images. From beginning -- an introduction by former Marine Corps commandant Charles Krulak -- to end, this book tells the story of an organization which could surely set an example for most American business. Says Krulak, "The hallmark of this fertile environment for personal and professional development is pervasive, clearly defined, and universally respected standards of conduct. These standards stress personal accountability, and our faithful adherence to them has distinguished the Corps for more than two centuries. Their influence is... read more

Two Questioned In Shooting At Warren Home
Wednesday, August 27, 2014
(Warren, MI) -- Two people are in Warren Police custody for questioning about a triple shooting. That's according to several reports. A 53-year-old woman who lives on Toepfer Street west of Van Dyke Avenue was critically wounded late Sunday in an apparent robbery attempt by three men. The woman's 57-year-old husband and 17-year-old stepson suffered less serious injuries. The older man had apparently disclosed a 250-thousand-dollar inheritance that might have led to the family being targeted.

I love the idea behind the website 'No Promise of Safety.' This site is all about documenting and promoting urban exploration. Just because it is on the map, doesn't mean you've seen it yet.
You may cry foul at the fact that these people are trespassing on private property, but like the sites founder says, "We trespass for fun." The images featured on No Promise of Safety feature accompanying stories that make me really want to go out there and give this a shot. Check out this site for some inspiring ideas on how the world can be your playground.

I do not own a standard ROS, but I want to buy one this year....can anyone tell me the name of the 'blue' form that I saw a couple of years ago in standard form?? Thanks in advance for your time. :-) |
Follow-Up Postings:
gardenlady48: The Rose of Sharon that you probably saw was the Blue Satin. This is very common and looks varying degrees of bluish/purple depending on the lighting etc. Very easy to grow from seed by the way and worthwhile to make your own standard from. If you are willing to wait until spring I would be more than happy to send along a seedling from mine (as they reseed readily) if you want to send a SASBE. Let me know if interested. Ross. |

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them? | 1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the LORD, "Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?" |
2 Yahweh said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. | 2 The LORD answered, "Judah is to go; I have given the land into their hands." |
3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So Simeon went with him. | 3 Then the men of Judah said to the Simeonites their brothers, "Come up with us into the territory allotted to us, to fight against the Canaanites. We in turn will go with you into yours." So the Simeonites went with them. |
4 Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men. | 4 When Judah attacked, the LORD gave the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek. |
5 They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites. | 5 It was there that they found Adoni-Bezek and fought against him, putting to rout the Canaanites and Perizzites. |
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. | 6 Adoni-Bezek fled, but they chased him and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes. |
7 Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their food] under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. | 7 Then Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. |
8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. | 8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem also and took it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire. |
9 Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland. | 9 After that, the men of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev and the western foothills. |
10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath-arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. | 10 They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. |
11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath-sepher.) | 11 From there they advanced against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher). |
12 Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife. | 12 And Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher." |
13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. | 13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage. |
14 It happened, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What would you? | 14 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What can I do for you?" |
15 She said to him, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. | 15 She replied, "Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." Then Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs. |
16 The children of the Kenite, Moses' brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people. | 16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went up from the City of Palms with the men of Judah to live among the people of the Desert of Judah in the Negev near Arad. |
17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah. | 17 Then the men of Judah went with the Simeonites their brothers and attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and they totally destroyed the city. Therefore it was called Hormah. |
18 Also Judah took Gaza with the border of it, and Ashkelon with the border of it, and Ekron with the border of it. | 18 The men of Judah also took Gaza, Ashkelon and Ekron--each city with its territory. |
19 Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out [the inhabitants of] the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. | 19 The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots. |
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak. | 20 As Moses had promised, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak. |
21 The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day. | 21 The Benjamites, however, failed to dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the Benjamites. |
22 The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Yahweh was with them. | 22 Now the house of Joseph attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them. |
23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.) | 23 When they sent men to spy out Bethel (formerly called Luz), |
24 The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray you, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you. | 24 the spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, "Show us how to get into the city and we will see that you are treated well." |
25 He shown them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family. | 25 So he showed them, and they put the city to the sword but spared the man and his whole family. |
26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz, which is the name of it to this day. | 26 He then went to the land of the Hittites, where he built a city and called it Luz, which is its name to this day. |
27 Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor [of] Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. | 27 But Manasseh did not drive out the people of Beth Shan or Taanach or Dor or Ibleam or Megiddo and their surrounding settlements, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land. |
28 It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out. | 28 When Israel became strong, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor but never drove them out completely. |
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them. | 29 Nor did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer, but the Canaanites continued to live there among them. |
30 Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor. | 30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, who remained among them; but they did subject them to forced labor. |
31 Asher didn't drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob; | 31 Nor did Asher drive out those living in Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Aczib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob, |
32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out. | 32 and because of this the people of Asher lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. |
33 Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor. | 33 Neither did Naphtali drive out those living in Beth Shemesh or Beth Anath; but the Naphtalites too lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and those living in Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became forced laborers for them. |
34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley; | 34 The Amorites confined the Danites to the hill country, not allowing them to come down into the plain. |
35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor. | 35 And the Amorites were determined also to hold out in Mount Heres, Aijalon and Shaalbim, but when the power of the house of Joseph increased, they too were pressed into forced labor. |
36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. | 36 The boundary of the Amorites was from Scorpion Pass to Sela and beyond. |

Jon Stewart does Harold Pinter for the American people
8:58 am in Uncategorized by knowbuddhau
Harold Pinter's 2005 Nobel lecture (in Literature) strips bare the body of lies, put forth explicitly in the name of "the American people," that masquerades as our shared narrative (and was featured in my diary of May 6: Reading the label on the cushion that is suffocating our intellects). Jon Stewart, in the Wednesday, May 5, 2010 segment "American Apparently", suggests we do away with that myth-making phrase.
Art, Truth, and Politics by Harold Pinter December 7, 2005
But before I come back to the present I would like to look at the recent past, by which I mean United States foreign policy since the end of the Second World War. I believe it is obligatory upon us to subject this period to at least some kind of even limited scrutiny, which is all that time will allow here.
Everyone knows what happened in the Soviet Union and throughout Eastern Europe during the post-war period: the systematic brutality, the widespread atrocities, the ruthless suppression of independent thought. All this has been fully documented and verified.
But my contention here is that the US crimes in the same period have only been superficially recorded, let alone documented, let alone acknowledged, let alone recognised as crimes at all. I believe this must be addressed and that the truth has considerable bearing on where the world stands now. Although constrained, to a certain extent, by the existence of the Soviet Union, the United States' actions throughout the world made it clear that it had concluded it had carte blanche to do what it liked.
The United States supported and in many cases engendered every right wing military dictatorship in the world after the end of the Second World War. I refer to Indonesia, Greece, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Haiti, Turkey, the Philippines, Guatemala, El Salvador, and, of course, Chile. The horror the United States inflicted upon Chile in 1973 can never be purged and can never be forgiven.
Hundreds of thousands of deaths took place throughout these countries. Did they take place? And are they in all cases attributable to US foreign policy? The answer is yes they did take place and they are attributable to American foreign policy. But you wouldn't know it.
It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn't happening. It didn't matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It's a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.
I put to you that the United States is without doubt the greatest show on the road. Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be but it is also very clever. As a salesman it is out on its own and its most saleable commodity is self love. It's a winner. Listen to all American presidents on television say the words, 'the American people', as in the sentence, 'I say to the American people it is time to pray and to defend the rights of the American people and I ask the American people to trust their president in the action he is about to take on behalf of the American people.'
It's a scintillating stratagem. Language is actually employed to keep thought at bay. The words 'the American people' provide a truly voluptuous cushion of reassurance. You don't need to think. Just lie back on the cushion. The cushion may be suffocating your intelligence and your critical faculties but it's very comfortable. This does not apply of course to the 40 million people living below the poverty line and the 2 million men and women imprisoned in the vast gulag of prisons, which extends across the US.

"Read Carefully"
Please note that this is "unabridged SELECTIONS," not an unabridged book. Of the 8 stories in here, only 2 were excellent. 4 were okay, and 2 of the stories were incomprehensible or pointless. I'm disappointed in this audiobook.
"Plot holes, unbelievable characters"
Creation of believable characters, removal of plot holes
He was pretty good at the accents, voices, and keeping them straight. He also brought energy and life to the story.
Exasperation, pain, offense
I wanted to like this book enough to finish it. I really really did. For so many reasons. But I was suffering. I was suffering too badly to continue to suffer, after getting at least 65% through the book. I love sci-fi, and I love speculative stuff and I can suspend disbelief for weird or new or even scientifically inaccurate stuff, so long as it's believable within its world. But so much of the human interactions here were completely unrealistic. The most prominent female character was inconsistent AND embarrassing. Forget the Bechdel test - the two female characters never spoke to one another and the main one never seemed to worry about anything other than a man no matter who she was talking to. Here's a great quote I remember from shortly before I quit the book "I could tell she wasn't going to give me any more sugar just then, so I decided not to beg for it. Women don't respect that." I won't even try to go into the plot holes that were so numerous my brain was feeling like the proverbial swiss cheese, just trying to keep track. I wasn't expecting high literature from this book, but this book was just too bad for me to continue.
"Pretty fun"
This was a pretty fun book. Like many other listeners, I found the author's sighing and breathing into the microphone excessive and distracting at times, but it didn't ruin the book.
"Flat. Predictable. Disappointing"
I got just over two hours into this 13-hour book before I gave up. The book has such an intriguing setup - an Irish girl arrives without parents in the US in the 18th century and is sent as a servant girl to live with the black slaves on a plantation. But the execution of the story is disappointing. The characters are one- or at best two-dimensional, saying things and behaving in ways that are more like cartoons than real people, though the book takes itself quite seriously. Plot turns are both predictable and often unbelievable, seeming manufactured by the author, rather than making sense. The author pays close attention to some details (like what food is prepared) but less to others (why is a 7 year old lost on a snowy day all day but doesn't need any warming up when she's found? How much time has gone by between scenes? What motivates the characters?). Both narrators here are excellent, but the book is a sad contrast to The Help, which shares one of the narrators.
"Disappointingly boring-kind of lacking plot"
I just could not finish this book. I tried and tried. I got halfway through, but most of that was a struggle. The author was also the narrator, and she was a very good narrator. But there was no arc to the story. It was like a bunch of little steps, one bit after another, but no plot, no storyline, almost no conflict or mystery or anything to grab you. It was just kind of bland and boring. And there were many miss opportunities for ... I don't know what to call it, maybe deeper analysis, or discussion of implications, but most of them were missed.
If I remember correctly, this is a novel based on true experience. Maybe that's the problem. There were a lot of irrelevant and boring details that might have been interesting if this were the memoir of a remarkable, unusual or famous person, but were boring as part of a novel.
Sorry, Alison. If the person in the book is anything like you, then you seem like a delightful, funny, and interesting person. But the book itself isn't doing it for me.
"Quite Disappointing"
After listening to and really enjoying "Company Man," I came back for more J. Finder. But this book was such a disappointment in comparison. The characters behaved unrealistically, and there was never a good sense of how much time has passed. It was too unbelievable. Plus, Scott Brick's reading was very tedious - he seemed to only have two emotions in this book: shock and disgust. Don't really recommend this one.
"Very entertaining!"
I had no idea what to expect from this book. It was quite enjoyable. Lots of very colorful characters -- that was the best part. The plot was silly, somewhat unpredictable, and fun to follow. A very fun listen!
"Surprisingly complex"
I was expecting a standard crime story with flat characters who behave predictably unrealistically. Instead, this was complex, with real characters, a multi-faceted plot, and lots to think about. I found myself listening at every moment, wanting to continue with the story. My only criticism is that Scott Brick didn't do as much as he could to differentiate characters by their voices.
"Wonderful book"
This was a wonderful book ... almost a "bonfire of the vanities" for the current tech world, only with some more personal aspects. The author was a fantastic narrator, and the book was fun and exciting. I enjoyed it tremendously.
This story was well-written, with good language and imagry. What really made this particular book amazing, though, was the narrator. Here is a definite case where reading the book itself would have been a completely different (less-fulfilling?) experience than hearing Lamia bring the story alive.

C thoughtfully stroked his goatee. I sat up, as in a coffin after three hundred lovers. Starboard, an oar-blade splashed emeralds against valedictory black. Once again, description, unemotional shorthand for sublimated wisdom, fails to conjure what we felt; the poem years for something more. Like me: childless. My love & I: gutted words. My prick: like an instrument for an altar or surgeon's table, shiny & maleficent. Stalactites, like jaws, bedeviled us. Sunlight struck the sandy bottom: Giotto blue, the Tennessean said; Florida blue, the tobacco queen said; Cognitive blue, I, the unanalyzed, said. Nothing from Curlyhead, who rowed vigorously. Then a serpentine thing, with five pairs of legs grasping at us, appeared beside our little boat, unidentifiably damaged, as the young man was, who boarded our bus going home. His arms flailed spasmodically. His face was pinched like a retarded boy's. I dedicate this poem to him, whose unneediness shamed me, demanding I acknowledge the best in myself, whose arms & legs racked the blue lapidary air, as if burdened by ropes, lantern, & pick, while he bantered brilliantly to himself, the mind struggling to overcome the stick that is the body. |
