Our history.
In 1966, Kathe and John McKenna (now residents of 54 Montgomery Street, where they raised their children) began responding to the desperate need they saw in the South End by renting a basement apartment on Upton Street and taking in the men they found sleeping on the street. They offered a cot and a simple meal—no strings attached—which was often met with skepticism and disbelief among the destitute and freezing men who called Tremont Street their home. Like many others at that time, the McKennas were moved to action by the social, racial, and economic injustice they witnessed, and their inspirations came from radical activists such as Dorothy Day, Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevara, and Malcolm X.
Through a generous gift from a friend, the McKennas were able to purchase 23 Dartmouth Street, which they then named "Haley House," after the Boston social activist Leo Haley, who passed away that same year at age twenty-four. Individuals often suffering from chronic alcoholism—including many WWII veterans—were among the first guests to be offered coffee, bread, and soup in the ground-floor "soup kitchen." The rooms upstairs housed live-in staff, including a few homeless guests who joined the efforts. Haley House opened its doors between 7am and 9pm six days a week, and it was not uncommon for over one hundred men to be lined up along Montgomery Street, waiting for a meal. In addition to caring for those in need, the Haley House community has always raised its collective voice to challenge the attitudes, systems, and policies that create displacement and suffering. Over the years, Haley House has been home to dedicated activists who have called for peace and social justice, and who have merged their activism with daily ministering to the disenfranchised in a society with a tragically widening gap between the wealthy and those without basic necessities.
Over its forty-year history, Haley House has expanded its reach and adapted its approach in order to meet changing needs. In 1979 we became the first homeless service provider in Boston to create permanent affordable housing by purchasing a nearby rooming house. In 1983 we started an organic farm in Winchendon Springs, Massachusetts as a way of reconnecting with the land and bringing fresh produce into our soup kitchen. By adding a bakery training program in 1996, and opening a Bakery Café in 2005, Haley House has created more intensive initiatives to support individuals in their move toward economic independence and meaningful lives.
Funds to support Haley House first came from the McKennas and a few friends; and has gradually expanded to include foundations. However, individual donors continue to provide the core support for our direct service programs.

For me the best movie so far this year has to be Christopher Nolan's Inception. it will be interesting come Oscar time to see if the Academy and the world at large agree. It is a fantastic combination of amazing direction and cinematography, a gripping script and amazing VFX. The best VFX are the ones you don't see and only afterwards do you think "How did they do that?".
For me the bit of the movie that hits this mark is the zero gravity sequence in the hotel, and particularly when the sleeping bodies of the lead characters are stacked up and wheeled into an elevator. I could not fathom how it was done and what was real and what was CG. So when I had lunch recently with Paul Franklin, the leading light on the movie for Dneg and a recent addition to our Advisory board, I had to ask.
The answer I got was somewhat surprising and much simpler than I expected - as all the best things in life are. Instead of creating fully CG backgrounds and characters, they relied on expert wire work and a moving set that consisted of a corridor and hotel room that they were able to turn to mimic the effect of zero gravity. When it came to the sequence I mentioned with the lift, they simply hung everyone in parallel and rotated the room and camera to mimic the effect of stacking the bodies. Because the actors were not expected to lie in such awkward positions for hours and stand ins were used, it was necessary to replace some of the heads for shots close to camera.
It just goes to show that even now with all of the technology at hand, sometimes you get a better result from doing things the old fashioned way and then using CG as a way of making things believable. I'd like to congratulate Chris Nolan and Dneg for their outstanding work and for creating a movie that had me and thousands of others sitting on the edge of our seats.

Several members of protein families that are conserved in higher eukaryotes are known to play a role in centromere function in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, including two homologs of the mammalian centromere protein CENP-B, Abp1p and Cbh1p. Here we characterize a third S. pombe CENP-B homolog, Cbh2p (CENP-B homolog 2). cbh2Delta strains exhibited a modest elevation in minichromosome loss, similar to cbh1Delta or abp1Delta strains. cbh2Delta cbh1Delta strains showed little difference in growth or minichromosome loss rate when compared to single deletion strains. In contrast, cbh2Delta abp1Delta strains displayed dramatic morphological and chromosome segregation defects, as well as enhancement of the slow-growth phenotype of abp1Delta strains, indicating partial functional redundancy between these proteins. Both cbh2Delta abp1Delta and cbh1Delta abp1Delta strains also showed strongly enhanced sensitivity to a microtubule-destabilizing drug, consistent with a mitotic function for these proteins. Cbh2p was localized to the central core and core-associated repeat regions of centromeric heterochromatin, but not at several other centromeric and arm locations tested. Thus, like its mammalian counterpart, Cbh2p appeared to be localized exclusively to a portion of centromeric heterochromatin. In contrast, Abp1p was detected in both centromeric heterochromatin and in chromatin at two of three replication origins tested. Cbh2p and Abp1p homodimerized in the budding yeast two-hybrid assay, but did not interact with each other. These results suggest that indirect cooperation between different CENP-B-like DNA binding proteins with partially overlapping chromatin distributions helps to establish a functional centromere.

Defensible space refers to an area between a house and an oncoming wildfire where the vegetation has been modified to reduce the wildfire threat which provides an opportunity for structural protection without risking homeowner or firefighter lives. Defensible space can simply be a properly maintained backyard.
A critical factor in determining whether or not a home will survive a wildfire is the type, amount, and maintenance of vegetation surrounding the house. If vegetation is properly modified and maintained, a wildfire can be slowed, the length of flames shortened, and the amount of heat reduced, all of which will assist firefighters in defending a home against an wildfire.
During a major wildfire, it is unlikely there will be enough firefighting resources available to defend every home that is threatened by wildfire, so it is important for homeowners to do their part before a wildfire occurs in order to protect their homes.
To create a defensible space, routine gardening and landscape maintenance practices such as pruning, moving, weeding, plant removal, appropriate plant selection and irrigation are essential. If your home is on flat land, your defensible space distance should extend at least 30 feet from the sides of the house. Make sure the 30-100 feet wide area surrounding the home is LEAN, CLEAN, AND GREEN. The vegetation should be kept:
- Lean- small amounts of flammable vegetation
- Clean-no accumulation of dead vegetation or other flammable debris
- Green-plants that remain healthy and green during the fire season
Tips to make your property defensible against fire:
-Remove dead vegetation (i.e., dead trees and shrubs, dried grass and flowers, dead branches, fallen leaves, etc)
- Remove lower branches from mature trees to height of eight feet from ground level also remove small trees and shrubs growing under mature trees
-Remove tree branches within 15 feet of a chimney or stove pipe.
- Keep vegetation clear of power lines and decks
- Selectively thin and maintain remaining vegetation to 6 inches in height
- Stack firewood and scrap wood piles at least 50 feet from any structure and clear a way vegetation within 10 feet of the piles
- Check and clean your roof and gutters on all structures several times during the spring and fall to remove debris that can easily ignite from a spark

Court allows redistricting maps to be used for 2014 elections
POSTED: Friday, September 6, 2013 - 3:08pm
UPDATED: Friday, September 6, 2013 - 3:09pm
Austin, Texas (KETK) — In a 26-page opinion issued today, a San Antonio federal court ruled there was no basis to block the use of the 2013 redistricting maps in upcoming elections, and that the redistricting maps passed by the Texas Legislature in the special session should be used for the 2014 elections.
The following is a statement from Lauren Bean, spokeswoman for the Texas Attorney General's Office:
"We are pleased that the court agreed to allow the 2014 elections to proceed on time using the new maps drawn by the Legislature. That certainty benefits all Texans.
"The State will continue to respond in court to the unwarranted challenges to the new maps by the Obama administration and various plaintiff groups. Texas has prevailed each time the redistricting litigation has reached the Supreme Court and remains confident that the Legislature's maps will be vindicated, either at the San Antonio federal district court or at the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary."

Fun Facts About Being a Ultrasound Technician
Most people, when they hear that I am an ultrasound technician, think about babies and pregnant women right away. And it's true that many ultrasound technicians spend most of their careers working with women who are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant. However, we have an important role in many other parts of medicine as well, and it is not unusual to see an Ultrasound Technician who has never worked around pregnant women since they were still in school.
1) An Ultrasound Technician can make a pretty decent salary. We help a lot of people, and our paychecks usually reflect that. Depending on many different factors, someone working full-time in this field, with the appropriate education and licensing could expect to make 45,000-75,000 dollars a year.
2) You would be hard-put to walk through a hospital and not be on a floor or in a department that we aren't in. [...] Continue Reading…

Emission Event Report Final Emission Upset Report Letter to US Chemical Safety Board
Corpus Christi, Texas -- Sierra Club (SC) and Citizens for Environmental Justice (CFEJ) sent a letter to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board stating that CITGOs East refinery fire in the alkylation unit on July 19-20, 2009 resulted in the single largest toxic release of deadly hydrogen fluoride in over twenty years at the plant. CITGO submitted a final report August 13, 2009 to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) estimating that nearly 4,000 pounds of hydrogen fluoride had been released over several days, and this quantity is the largest release of the deadly chemical by CITGO since 1988 records show. The large release of 4,000 pounds of hydrogen fluoride reveals that CITGO endangered the health and welfare of the EJ community members living near the East refinery by not maintaining its plant in a safe manner in view of its use of such a dangerous catalyst, and that CITGO compounded the threat of toxic vapors of hydrogen fluoride from the fire by failing to inform residents of an option to evacuate since they could be in danger if the winds shifted. Local environmental justice community members near CITGO expressed serious concerns about toxic air pollution from the fire, including several individuals who indicated they suffered adverse health effects. But the local environmental justice community had no option to leave because they were never informed of the dangerous fire at CITGO or that potentially deadly gases had escaped. CITGO and other refineries have so many upsets and smoking pollution episodes that residents have become used to seeing frequent problems at the plants not knowing how dangerous a fire such as CITGOs July incident can be if they are not informed by the refinery or officials. Much like CITGO, the TCEQ made no efforts to ask if local environmental justice community members suffered adverse health effects due to the fire, and TCEQ simply assumed no one was harmed since they did not call in complaints. Citizens had to rely solely on the media to learn how dangerous the fire was. For a fire to have gone on for 2 days, I feel that they (LEPC/CITGO/TCEQ) should have come out to the community to talk to us, to inform us of whats going on, said Jean Salone, a Hillcrest resident and member of CFEJ. Neighbors Ive talked to have had sore throats and headaches. Even dizziness. Some have told me about red residue outside after seeing a red cloud on Monday and others have some white specks on outdoor things. Its awful that no one has come out to see how were doing. The Sierra Club/Citizens for Environmental Justice letter describes serious public health concerns over CITGOs egregious failure to notify and evacuate the nearby community as well as attempting to downplay fence-line community impacts of its toxic refinery pollution, in particular hydrofluoric acid. CITGO had the largest release of hydrogen fluoride since 1988, and indicates the hazards facing local EJ community members living in Corpus Christi near the highest concentration of oil refineries in the U.S. using hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid or HF), an extremely dangerous chemical as a catalyst in alkylation units, a chemical posing the single worst-case accidental release scenario in plants using it and makes it more hazardous for citizens living on refinery row, said Dr. Neil Carman, chemist and Clean Air Program director for Sierra Club. On July 19-20, CITGO initially falsely reported the HF release as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) rather than HF apparently in an attempt to deceive the public about the deadly nature of the fire reporting H2S emissions, and, in my opinion, CITGO was not concerned about local environmental justice community members by filing a false report with TCEQ. Yet CITGOs final fire report did not list H2S since there was none involved in the July fire, which CITGO knew. Finally, CITGO has failed to report fugitive releases of HF to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)for the last twenty-years, except for serious fires and accidents, and may be fudging as badly as it did with benzene tank releases it was criminally convicted of under the federal Clean Air Act. The letter to U.S. Chemical Safety Board Chairman John Bresland cites concerns over CITGOs irresponsible actions that the groups seek to address: CITGO responded to this serious event in typical fashion, they attempted to minimize this event to the local community, said Suzie Canales, Executive Director of Citizens for Environmental Justice. This event supports our position for the need of a buffer zone - to relocate, at a fair price, the people that want to move. It is too dangerous to live adjacent to CITGO, a repeat offender and convicted criminal. We are asking for a thorough investigation by the Chemical Safety Board of the serious event July 19-20. We are concerned that negligence on behalf of CITGO led to the serious injury to the employee and put a whole community in needless risk. added Canales. CITGO East Refinery in Corpus Christi reported from 1988-2007 three airborne releases of hydrogen fluoride in 1996 of 221 pounds, the May 1997 fire at 1,698 pounds, and 2001 when 29 pounds escaped into the air. (US EPA Toxic Release Inventory: http://www.epa.gov/triexplorer) The three older reports total 1949 pounds (221 + 1698 + 29). Thus, the July 19-20, 2009 fire released more than twice as much HF into Corpus Christi as all previous air releases since 1988, according to reports filed by CITGO.

Troy Tulowitzki was benched Monday and may not see playing time during the foreseeable future.Tulowitzki is going back to the drawing board with the coaching staff. They will all work to help the shortstop break out of a season-long slump that has him batting .167 through 17 games. The team still has high hopes for its first round pick in 2005, which is why they'll take their time to work with him - meaning he won't return to the lineup until they feel he's ready. He shouldn't be on your fantasy squad anyway, but if he is, now is the time to drop him.

Shots Miami Invites You to Drink Anthrax With a Sex Toy (Photos)

It's like playing dressup -- with alcohol. |
When Shots Miami postponed its coming-soon party because of that pesky Tropical Storm Debby, I was kind of heartbroken. After all, I really wanted to experience this bar where you're made to dress in character or perform an action while downing neon-colored shots -- especially since the bar seemed to polarize so much of Miami. In the comments section of my original post, there was a complete love-it-or-hate-it attitude. Wynwoodian123, for example, wrote this:
I don't personally don't think this is up to par with Wynwood's up and coming chick, hip, artsy theme. I also don't think I would like to share a dirty cape or boa for $6. There much better places in wynwood to have a drink and have fun with friends without acting like you're 17 drinking with some friends in a basement hiding from their parents, doing pretty dumb things...

Whenever they would advertise a two-headed snake or the world's smallest woman, I'd have to plunk down my quarter to see for myself. So it was only natural that I checked out Shots Miami.

"Mental" Mash-Up Belongs On The Big Screen
by Christopher Arnott | Mar 29, 2013 8:48 am
Commenting has been closed | E-mail the Author
Posted to: Arts & Culture, Film
It's big question when considering seeing a smaller, family-drama "art house" film: Is it worth seeing on a big screen, or can you wait for the DVD and not miss much?
P.J. Hogan's chaotic heartwarmer Mental—which opens Friday at New Haven's Criterion—makes a strong case for see-it-now status in its first few minutes.
You know that sweeping mountaintop opening of The Sound of Music, with Julie Andrews warbling in the Austrian mountaintops? Well, Hogan (the auteur's of Muriel's Wedding, My Best Friend's Wedding and even some movies that have nothing to do with weddings) has recreated that musical majesty in a suburban Australian backyard. The cameras soar and swoop as a middle-aged housewife named Shirley Moochmore (Rebecca Gibney from Hogan's 1980s TV series The Flying Doctors, plus adaptations of Stephen King's Salem's Lot and Nightmares and Dreamscapes) runs amok, wailing "The hills are alive" as the neighbors watch in a disdain.
Shirley's wacky. So are her five daughters. At least they've convinced themselves of that. "If we're not mental," the Moochmores reckon, "we're just unpopular." Oldest daughter Coral (Lily Sullivan) wants to prove that she's bipolar, or suicidal. Another child hears voices. Another screams "I'm a sociopath."
Their father Barry, a petty politician played by Anthony LaPaglia, is never home. He's too busy running the country and having affairs with younger women. When Barry commits Shirley to a treatment center for the mentally impaired, then impulsively plucks a distinctively dressed, mad-dogwalking woman off the street to be a live-in babysitter for the kids, things really do get crazy. This Julie Andrews-in-tacky-streetwear, named Shaz and played with unending aggression by Toni Collette (pictured, whose previous efforts at psychological screwball family humor were the HBO series United States of Tara and the film Little Miss Sunshine), brings her own brand of insanity to the mix.
By this point, you have a clear idea of where Mental is heading. It's not the Moochmores who are insane; it's the world around them. But Hogan's able to provide a stronger sociopolitical argument than you often get in these scenarios. He posits that Australia, from its roots as a penal colony, has developed into an entire country of loonies, "a living experiment in madness." Everyone from Rupert Murdoch to Russell Crowe is implicated in this theory. It becomes the mission of Shaz and the Moochmores' to "upset the delicate balance" of their fellow citizen's "fantasy world." The girls confront the OCD woman who scrubs her driveway with a toothbrush, for instance by inviting themselves over to tea and sitting on her pure white couches at a time when they're all having their menstrual periods.
There are many romantic, though no less rambunctious, moments to balance the bad-taste assaults. Young Coral takes a wild naked ride down a water tunnel at an amusement park with a boy who's beginning to admire her expressly because she's so different from the other girls. This scene, beautifully shot and a thrill ride in itself, is another good reason to seek out Mental on a big screen like the Criterion's.
New Haven has special cause to dig this arch Australian psychocomedy. One of the soul non-Aussies in the cast, Liev Shreiber (sporting an accent, a beard, a withering glare as the jaded producer of a sharkhunting sideshow attraction), is a Yale School of Drama grad. Rodgers & Hammerstein's musical The Sound of Music, which remains a solid reference point throughout Mental's adventures of an unorthodox nanny and an unruly houseful of children, had its world premiere at New Haven's Shubert in 1959. The co-star of the Sound of Music film, Christopher Plummer (shown in a film clip in Mental singing "Edelweiss") is a longtime Connecticut resident. And Shaz's constant casual analysis of the neuroses and disorders of neighbors and passersby eerily resembles conversations you can eavesdrop on at the coffeehouses near Yale.

Book of Job (n.)↕
The Book of Job ( /ˈdʒoʊb/; Hebrew: אִיוֹב ʾ iyobh), commonly referred to simply as Job, is one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. It relates the story of Job, his trials at the hands of Satan, his discussions with friends on the origins and nature of his suffering, his challenge to God, and finally a response from God. The book is a didactic poem set in a prose frame. The over-riding and oft-asked question asked in the book of Job is, "Why do the righteous suffer?".[1]
The book of Job has been included in lists of the greatest books in world literature.[2]
Contents |
The book of Job tells the story of an extremely righteous man named Job, who was very prosperous and had seven sons and three daughters. Constantly fearing that his sons may have sinned and "cursed God in their hearts", he habitually offered burnt offerings as a pardon for their sins.[3] The "sons of God" and Satan (literally "the Adversary") present themselves to God, and God asks Satan his opinion on Job. Satan answers that Job is pious only because God has put a "wall around" him and "blessed" His favourite servant with prosperity, but if God were to stretch out his hand and strike everything that Job had, then he would surely curse God. God gives Satan permission to test Job's righteousness.[4]
All of Job's possessions are destroyed; the 500 yoke of oxen and 500 donkeys carried off by Sabeans, the 7000 sheep were burned up by 'The fire of God which fell from the sky,' the 3000 camels were stolen by the Chaldeans and the house of the firstborn collapsed, due to a mighty wind, killing all of Job's offspring, but Job does not curse God but instead shaves his head, tears his clothes and says, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return: Lord has given, and Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of Lord."[5]
As Job endures these calamities without reproaching God, Satan solicits permission to afflict his person as well, and God says, "Behold, he is in your hand, but don't touch his life." Satan, therefore, smites him with dreadful boils, and Job, seated in ashes, scrapes his skin with broken pottery. His wife prompts him to "curse God, and die" but Job answers, "You speak as one of the foolish speaks. Moreover, shall we receive good from God and shall not receive evil?"
Three friends of Job, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, come to console him. (A fourth, Elihu the Buzite (Heb: Alieua ben Barakal the Buzite), begins talking in Chapter 32 and plays a significant role in the dialogue, but his arrival is not described). The friends spend seven days sitting on the ground with Job, without saying anything to him because they see that he is suffering and in much pain. Job at last breaks his silence and "curses the day he was born."
God responds saying that there are so many things Job does not know about how this world was formed or how nature works, that Job should consider God as being greater than the thunderstorm and strong enough to pull in the leviathan with a fishhook. God then rebukes the three friends and says, "I am angry with you....you have not spoken of me what is right."
The story ends with Job restored to health, with a new family and twice as much livestock.
The book of Job has a fairly simple structure. Job 1 and 2 are the prologue, written in prose. Job 3:1-42:6 is poetry that consists of a cycle of speeches between Job, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar and later Elihu, and then the dialogue between Yahweh and Job. Job 42:7-14 is the epilogue, which is written in prose.[6]
The dialogues of chapters 3-31 are, in general, a cycle of speeches between Job, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar that are structured as follows:
Cycle 1
Job Chapters 3
Eliphaz 4-5
Job 6-7
Bildad 8
Job 9-10
Zophar 11
Cycle 2
Job Chapters 12-14
Eliphaz 15
Job 16-17
Bildad 18
Job 19
Zophar 20
Cycle 3
Job Chapters 21
Eliphaz 22
Job 23-24
Bildad 25:1-5
Job 26; 27-28; 29-31[7]
The third cycle, it should be noted, does not follow the pattern of the first two cycles. Zophar does not give a speech and Bildad's speech is significantly shorter than his previous speeches.[6]
Job's friends do not waver from their belief that Job must have sinned to incite God's punishment. As the speeches progress, Job's friends increasingly berate him for refusing to confess his sins, although they themselves are at a loss as to which sin he has committed. They also assume, in their view of theology, that God always rewards good and punishes evil, with no apparent exceptions allowed. There seems to be no room in their understanding of God for divine discretion and mystery in allowing and arranging suffering for purposes other than retribution.
Job, confident of his own innocence, maintains that his suffering is unjustified as he has not sinned, and that there is no reason for God to punish him thus. However, he does not curse God's name or accuse God of injustice but rather seeks an explanation or an account of his wrongdoing.
Elihu takes a mediator's path—he attempts to maintain the sovereignty and righteousness and gracious mercy of God. Elihu's speech comes after the final words of Job in the third speech cycle (31:40) and goes from chapters 32-37.[6] Elihu strongly condemns the approach taken by the three friends, and argues that Job is misrepresenting God's righteousness and discrediting his loving character. Elihu says he spoke last because he is much younger than the other three friends, but says that age makes no difference when it comes to insights and wisdom. In his speech, Elihu argues for God's power, redemptive salvation, and absolute rightness in all his conduct. God is mighty, yet just, and quick to warn and to forgive. Elihu's speeches act as a narrative bridge which joins Job's summary of his case with the appearance of God.[8] His speech maintains that Job, while righteous, is not perfect. Job does not disagree with this and God does not rebuke Elihu as he does Bildad, Zophar, and Eliphaz.[9] After Elihu's speech ends with the last verse of Chapter 37, God appears and in the second verse of Chapter 38, God says, speaking of Job: "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?"
After several rounds of debate between Job and his friends, in a divine voice, described as coming from a "cloud" or "whirlwind", God describes, in evocative and lyrical language, what the experience of being the creator of the world is like, and rhetorically asks if Job has ever had the experiences or the authority that God has had. God's answer underscores that Job shares the world with numerous powerful and remarkable creatures. (Also compare Job 41:18-21 with Job 15:12-13 which was possibly in response to Job 7:11-16).
God's speech also emphasizes his sovereignty in creating and maintaining the world. The thrust is not merely that God has experiences that Job does not, but that God is king over the world and is not necessarily subject to questions from his creatures, including men. The point of these speeches is to proclaim the absolute freedom of God over His creation. God is not in need of the approval of his creation. It is only the reader of the book who learns of God's conversations with Satan; Job himself remains unaware of the reason or source of his sufferings. The traditional interpretation is that, humbled by God's chastising, Job turns speechless, giving up and repenting his previous requests of justice. However, another interpretation is that Job's silence is defiant, and that what he gives up is not his belief that justice be done, but his confidence that God will behave justly.[10]
In the epilogue, God condemns Job's friends for their ignorance and lack of understanding while commending Job for his righteous words, commands them to prepare burnt offerings and reassures them that Job will pray for their forgiveness. Job is restored to health, gaining double the riches he possessed before and having new children, 7 sons and 3 daughters (his wife did not die in this ordeal). His new daughters (Jemima, Keziah and Keren-Happuch[11]) were the most beautiful in the land, and were given inheritance along with their brothers. Job is blessed once again and lives on another 140 years after the ordeal, living to see his children to the fourth generation and dying peacefully of old age.
"The Satan", meaning literally "the adversary", appears in the prose prologue of Job: it has been argued that he is not the devil, as he becomes in later Judeo-Christian works, but one of the celestial beings who stand before God in the heavenly court.[12] As a member of a Divine Council "the adversary" observes human activity with the purpose of searching out men's sins and acting as their accuser. "The adversary" occurs in the framing story alone—he is never clearly alluded to in the central poem. However, Abaddon and Sheol are mentioned throughout the central poem. Job does speak of an adversary on several occasions within the central poem, but it is doubtful that he is referring to "the Adversary" of the prose prologue.[citation needed]
Job's wife is introduced in Job 2:9 when she suggests that Job curse God and die. She is not directly mentioned at any other place in the book. Throughout the ordeal, she survives and lives on with Job. There is uncertainty about her intentions when she tells Job to curse God but it is clear that Job honors her by the way he talks about her in Chapter 31. As he says in verse one, "I have made a covenant with my eyes. Why should I think on another woman?" He has remained true to his marriage vows, even in his heart, and has not lusted after someone else.
The later tradition preserved in the Greek Testament of Job (chap. 21-25; 39) names Job's first wife (cf. Job 2:9) as Sitidos (Sitis) and his later wife (expanded from Job 42:13 in T.Job 1:6) as Dinah.
Liberal scholars date Job between the 6th and 4th century BCE,[13] however, conservative scholars cite Eusebius (CE 263-399), who placed Job "two ages before Moses" or 2,000-1,500 BCE.[14] While "there is an intentional editorial unity with a cohesive purpose and message in the canonical form of the book," Job contains many separate elements, some of which may have had an independent existence prior to being incorporated into the present text.[15] Scholars agree that the introductory and concluding sections of the book, the framing devices, were composed to set the central poem into a prose "folk-book", as the compilers of the Jewish Encyclopedia expressed it. The central poem is from another source[citation needed]. Among the Dead Sea Scrolls is the Targum of Job 11Q10[citation needed]. Another example of text from the last chapter or epilogue of Job can be found in the book The Dead Sea Scrolls: A New Translation, showing examples of how fragments of The Book of Job found among the scrolls differ from the text as now known.
In 1954, the Assyriologist and Sumerologist Samuel Noah Kramer presented a Sumerian text treating the "Job motif" of the righteous sufferer.[16] The Sumerian text is known as "A man and his god", after the incipit lu2-ulu3 nam-mah dingir-ra-na.[17] Ludlul bēl nēmeqi is a Babylonian text, also known as the "Babylonian Job", which concerns itself with the unjust suffering of an afflicted man, named Shubshi-meshre-Shakkan."The Protestation of Guiltlessness," from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, is a collection of assertions of innocence which were included in ancient Egyptian burial rites, and is often compared to Job, especially chapter 31.[18]
While these and other ancient Near Eastern texts consider comparable issues, scholars have not found their direct antecedent. However, the similarity between the central concerns of Job and those of certain ancient Babylonian and Egyptian texts reveals a shared interest in the question of why the innocent suffer. These texts also share an interest in challenging traditional views of the nature of divine justice.[18]

Various interpolations have been made in the text of the central poem. They are of two kinds: the "parallel texts", which are parallel developments of the corresponding passages in the base text, and the speeches of Elihu (Chapters 32-37), which consist of a polemic against the ideas expressed elsewhere in the poem, and so are claimed to be interpretive interpolations. The speeches of Elihu (who is not mentioned in the prologue) are claimed to contradict the fundamental opinions expressed by the "friendly accusers" in the central body of the poem, according to which it is impossible that the righteous should suffer, all pain being a punishment for some sin.
The status of Elihu's interrupting didactic sermon is brought further into question by his extremely sudden appearance and disappearance from the text. He is not mentioned in Job 2:11, in which Job's friends are introduced, nor is he mentioned at all in the epilogue, 42:7-10, in which God expresses anger at Job's friends. It is suggested that had Elihu appeared in the original source, his spirited and virtuous defence of the divine right to punish would have been rewarded by God in the conclusion, or at the very least mentioned. Additionally, Elihu's first spoken words are a confession of his youthful status, being much younger than the three canonical friends, including a claim to be speaking because he cannot bear to remain silent; it has been suggested that this interesting statement may have been symbolic of a "younger" (that is to say, later and interpolating) writer, who has written Elihu's sermon to respond to what he views as morally and theologically scandalous statements being made within the book of Job, and creating the literary device of Elihu to provide what seemed to be a faith-based response to further refute heresy and provide a counter-argument, a need partially provided by God's ambiguous and unspecific response to Job at the end of the book.
Subjects of further contention among scholars are the identity of claimed corrections and revisions of Job's speeches, which are claimed to have been made for the purpose of harmonizing them with the orthodox doctrine of retribution. A prime example of such a claim is the translation of the last line Job speaks (42:6), which is extremely problematic in the Hebrew. Traditional translations have him say, "Therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes." However, other scholarly interpretations of this verse also exist.[19] J.B. Curtis in his 1979 paper "On Job's Response to Yahweh",[20] argues that Job's final responses to Yahweh are a total rejection of Yahweh rather than an expression of repentance, and translates Job 42:6 as "Therefore I feel loathing contempt and revulsion (toward you, O God); and I am sorry for frail man."
The Talmudic Tractate Bava Batra 15a-b maintains that Job was written by Moses, although nowhere does it name its author. Other opinions in the Talmud ascribe it to the period of before the First Temple, the time of the patriarch Jacob, or King Ahaserus.The medieval exegete Abraham ibn Ezra believed that Job was translated from another language and it is therefore unclear "like all translated books" (Ibn Ezra Job 2:11). It is set in the land of Edom, which has been retained as the background, and in the prologue and epilogue, the name of God is YHWH, a name that even the Edomites used. Job is prominent in haggadic legends. The later Greek Testament of Job figures among the apocrypha.
Michael Coogan writes in regards to both Ecclesiastes and Job that "Both take positions opposed to the mainstream of the wisdom tradition in the Bible, as exemplified in the book of Proverbs…"[21] Job, along with Ecclesiastes is part of the dissenting or speculative group of wisdom literature within the Old Testament.[22] In the narrative there are conversations that occur between Job and family, Job and friends, and Job and God. Conventional wisdom may be applied to the questions and advice given by Job's friends or family, yet it is Job's responses that make this book part of the dissenting wisdom or "anti-wisdom wisdom"[23]

Some of the laws and customs of mourning in Judaism are derived from the Book of Job's depiction of Job's mourning and the behavior of his companions. For example, the behavior of Job's comforters, who kept silence until he spoke to them, is the source for a norm applicable to contemporary traditional Jewish practice, that visitors to a house of mourning should not speak to the mourner until they are spoken to.[24]
In most traditions of Jewish liturgy, the Book of Job is not read publicly in the manner of the Pentateuch, Prophets, or megillot. However, there are some Jews, particularly the Spanish and Portuguese Jews, who do hold public readings of the Book of Job on the Tisha B'Av fast (a day of mourning over the destruction of the First and Second Temples and other tragedies). The cantillation signs for the large poetic section in the middle of the Book of Job differ from those of most of the biblical books, using a system shared with it only by Psalms and Proverbs. A sample of how the cantillations are chanted is found below. Many quotes from the Book of Job are used throughout Jewish liturgy, especially at funerals and times of mourning.
Maimonides, a twelfth century rabbi, discusses Job in his work The Guide for the Perplexed. According to Maimonides (III 22–23), each of Job's friends represents famous, distinct schools of thought concerning God and divine providence. According to Maimonides, the correct view of providence lies with Elihu, who teaches Job that one must examine his religion (Job 33). This view corresponds with the notion that "the only worthy religion in the world is an examined religion." A habit religion, such as that originally practiced by Job, is never enough. One has to look deep into the meaning of religion in order to fully appreciate it and make it a genuine part of one's life. Elihu believed in the concepts of divine providence, rewards to individuals, as well as punishments. He believed, according to Maimonides, that one has to practice religion in a rational way. The more one investigates religion, the more he will be rewarded or find it rewarding. In the beginning, Job was an unexamining, pious man, not a philosopher, and he did not have providence. He was unwise, simply grateful for what he had. God, according to Elihu, did not single out Job for punishment, but rather abandoned him and let him be dealt with by natural, unfriendly forces.
Conversely, in more recent times, Russian existentialist philosopher Lev Shestov viewed Job as the embodiment of the battle between reason (which offers general and seemingly comforting explanations for complex events) and faith in a personal god, and one man's desperate cry for him. In fact, Shestov used the story of Job as a central signifier for his core philosophy (the vast critique of the history of Western philosophy, which he saw broadly as a monumental battle between Reason and Faith, Athens and Jerusalem, secular and religious outlook):
The whole book is one uninterrupted contest between the 'cries' of the much-afflicted Job and the 'reflections' of his rational friends. The friends, as true thinkers, look not at Job but at the 'general.' Job, however, does not wish to hear about the 'general'; he knows that the general is deaf and dumb - and that it is impossible to speak with it. 'But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God' (13:3). The friends are horrified at Job's words: they are convinced that it is not possible to speak with God and that the Almighty is concerned about the firmness of his power and the unchangeability of his laws but not about the fate of the people created by him. Perhaps they are convinced that in general God does not know any concerns but that he only rules. That is why they answer, 'You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you or the rock be removed from its place?' (18:4). And, indeed, shall rocks really be removed from their place for the sake of Job? And shall necessity renounce its sacred rights? This would truly be the summit of human audacity, this would truly be a 'mutiny,' a 'revolt' of the single human personality against the eternal laws of the all-unity of being!—Lev Shestov, Speculation and Revelation
In Chapter nine, Job recognizes the chasm that exists between him and God: "For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together."[25] Job's regret is that he has no arbiter to act as a go-between; that Job cannot reconcile himself with God anticipates the need for the Messiah to become incarnate.[26] In verse 33, Job wishes that there was an "umpire" (Heb. mokiah) to decide between him and God. One scholar says, "This person would have to be superior in authority to either party, ";[27] thus the arbiter for whom Job hopes would himself have to be divine, or else he would no more be qualified to "lay his hand upon" God than is Job.
This idea of a divine arbiter is returned to at Job 16:19. Job again expresses his desire for a witness, and then declares, "my eyes pour out tears to God, that he would maintain the right of a man with God".[28] Job addresses God, desiring that God will advocate on Job's behalf with himself.[29] Job knows that no man such as himself, conceived in sin, can appeal to God on his behalf; so God must do it himself. The language used earlier is that of a judicial judgement, in which God is both judge of and lawyer for Job. Job "draws a distinction in God", and this distinction anticipates the multiplicity of God's persons.
Job's faith in this arbiter is again brought up in chapter 19. It is commonly accepted that the "Redeemer" of 19:25 is the same person as the witness of 16:19.[30] This verse in particular is often seen as an anticipation of Christianity. Telgren notes that it has been suggested that verses 25 and 26 have a poetic structure of ABBA. If this is true it would support the notion that God is himself the Redeemer, by associating him with the living Redeemer in the parallel structure. The RSV's "Redeemer" is a translation of the Hebrew go'el. That this go'el could refer to God is explicitly demonstrated in the Psalms and Proverbs, and elsewhere.
This translation of go'el in Job 19:25-26 as "Redeemer" has been made famous by its use in Handel's Messiah, the Air I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the lectionary during the Easter season. The go'el was a kinsman redeemer whose role included avenging bloodshed, redeeming land sold to others outside the family, and redeeming family members sold into slavery.[31] The Christ, as both God and Man, is seen in Christian theology as fulfilling this role in the redemption of man and of the earth and in the final judgment against evil.[31][32]
An alternative translation of the passage reads as follows:
"But as for me, I know that my vindicator lives,
and that he will at last stand forth upon the dust.
This will happen when my flesh has been stripped off,
but from my flesh I would see God."
The capitalization of "Redeemer" (here translated as "vindicator") is a choice of the translator. The Hebrew language has no capital letters. The capitalization is used in preference to the idea that the passage references the Messiah.[33] However the use of "go'el" here can also be taken to reference a human avenger-of-blood.[34] According to this reading, Job is asserting that after he is dead, his go'el will take up his case. However, he would rather it happen before he dies. This interpretation is supported with the argument that there is nowhere else in the book where Job express a wish for bodily resurrection, only for someone to intervene as an "umpire", a "vindicator", a "go'el", on his behalf as an impartial judge between himself and God in the present.[34]
The Eastern Orthodox Church reads from Job during Holy Week.
"Throughout the whole Lent the two books of the Old Testament read at Vespers were Genesis and Proverbs. With the beginning of the Holy Week they are replaced by Exodus and Job. Exodus is the story of Israel's liberation from Egyptian slavery, of their Passover. It prepares us for the understanding of Christ's exodus to his Father, of his fulfillment of the whole history of salvation. Job, the sufferer, is the Old Testament icon of Christ. This reading announces the great mystery of Christ's sufferings, obedience and sacrifice."—Alexander Schmemann, "A Liturgical Explanation for the Days of Holy Week"
The Roman Catholic Church traditionally reads from the Book of Job during Matins in the first two weeks of September, as well as in the Office of the Dead. In the revised Liturgy of the Hours, Job is read during the Eighth and Ninth Weeks in Ordinary Time.
In Palestinian folk tradition, Ayyub's place of trial is Al-Joura, a village outside the town of Al Majdal (Ashkelon). It was there, God rewarded him with a Fountain of Youth that removed whatever illnesses he had, and restored his youth. The town of Al-Joura was a place of annual festivities (4 days in all) when people of many faiths gathered and bathed in a natural spring. In Turkey, Job is known as Eyüp, and he is supposed to have lived in Şanlıurfa. There is also a tomb of Job outside the city of Salalah in Oman.

There's a minor issue with deploying Rails apps built using Twitter Bootstrap, on Heroku's cedar stack. By default, even if you pre-compile your assets, the production environment has the less gem (and dependencies). This uses ~10M of your 100M slug space, slowing down deploys and increasing the instantiation time for webs and workers. One workaround is explained in this article.
The following are useful background articles on the asset pipeline feature introduced in Rails 3.1:
The primary issue discovered with the asset pipeline and Heroku is as follows:
- It's a good idea to have MD5 digests switched on for your assets.
- The MD5 digest creation by Rails uses the environment name, so that only digests created in production environment will work (i.e. be correctly linked to) in the production environment (see here).
- The less, uglifier, etc. gems all must be in production environment to perform the pre-compile.
- Which means those gems end up in your live Heroku environment, where they are never used.
Rails can be configured to use an asset group in Gemfile, which I believe is there to handle such issues. However, Heroku's Cedar stack can't ignore bundle groups at the moment, so this doesn't help.
There's a secondary issue, which leads to confusion during the development cycle:
- Pre-compilation creates assets with MD5 hashes in the file names in the
directory, and also copies all your assets fromapp/assets
. - Rails preferentially picks up application.css1 from
. - Once your assets are pre-compiled, any changes to application.css won't appear until pre-compilation happens again, so the 'old' pre-compiled version will over-ride the new working versions in
. - Which leads to head-scratching and "I just fixed that, why isn't it working".
The only solution I found to resolve both issues was to script the pre-compilation as follows.
Create a file, say Gemfile.asset, which contains only the gems needed for the pre-compilation. Think of this as a replacement for group :assets
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
Now a script to inject the gems, pre-compile, and then revert the gems:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
This script deals with the primary issue as your MD5 digests are built in the production environment, and on a push to Heroku the 'asset' gems aren't there; saving 10M from the slug size.
The secondary issue is dealt with by assets:precompile:primary
. This parameter is not well documented2, and causes the pre-compile action to only create the digest versions in public/assets
, and does not copy over the non-digest versions. The secondary issue is now resolved, as:
- By default, in the development and test environments the digest flag is not on, so Rails doesn't generate links to digest versions of assets.
- The non-digest versions are no longer copied into
. - So, in development, there is nothing in
for Rails to pick up, so instead the latest versions inapp/assets
are used.
Depending on your environment, you may want to script this all up and include pushing back into your version control system, e.g.:
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
Finally, as all your assets are now precompiled, there is no need to deploy app/assets
to Heroku, so add this to the .slugignore
I have been using this for some months now, and not hit any snags. I'm no Rails expert, but as this took me a while to work through, and struggled to find any information on it, I hope this helps someone.

Posted by Ryoga Hibiki on Feb 25th 2009 13:56
I took some time out from playing Street Fighter 4, while putting down the wonderful MadCatz Tournament Edition Arcade Stick (I can't believe it's made by MadCatz) and had a chat with Christopher Bullard aka ChrissyB from Team Dignitas.
Enemy Down: You went off to a good start on your Dell XPS Premiership Division debut against Andy Orme (Mongoose). How did the match go for you?
ChrissyB: I was a bit nervous, to be honest. Like I said in my pre-match comments, I wasn't sure what to expect. So I played it safe and went with a defensive formation and focused on getting a win. However, I did feel the ground being removed from my feet when Andy Orme (Mongoose) came close to scoring. When I scored the only goal in the 55th minute, any nerves I had disappeared and felt comfortable from there on. It was a good match, but at the end of the day, grabbing those 3 points was what mattered.
Enemy Down: So playing Andy Orme (Mongoose) after the match, have your views changed towards him and his appointment to the Dell XPS Premiership Division?
ChrissyB: Andy Orme (Mongoose) is a good player and a nice guy, so I have nothing against him personally. I knew he was playing FIFA this year and I know he's passionate about it. He could of beaten me 10-0 but I still don't agree with a player being included after only attending one minor FIFA tournament. You wouldn't seed a Counter-Strike: Source team in the Dell XPS Premiership after coming 3rd at StratLAN, so why do it for FIFA???
Editor's Note: fnatic Call of Duty 4 anyone?
Enemy Down: Who, of your chosen seven, would you have seeded into the Dell XPS Premiership Division for this season? Bare in mind, that only 3 players of the same team will be allowed to play in any one season...
ChrissyB: With respect to that rule, I would think Ben Withley (Benzi) from Dignitas should of been given the option to be loaned out to another team. If either Ben Andrews (Infused Ben) or Dan Bellis (Dan7) both from Team Infused had paid for the Championship Division, then one of those players should of been in the Dell XPS Premiership Division too.
So, it would be Michael Barrett (Bazza), Matt Bushell (Hughjarse), Ben Withley (Benzi), Luke Stovell (Motown/Classic), Robert Brewster (Sensation), Ben Andrews (Infused Ben) and myself. No disrespect to Andy Orme (Mongoose) or Ollie Hagues (Klash); they are good FIFA players but I think the two Ben's should have been included at their expense.
Editor's Note: As Bullard mentions, neither Infused player was eligible for the Premiership due to UKeSA rules.
Enemy Down: Speaking of playing for another team, there was some turmoil with Ollie Hagues' (Klash16) disownership by Team Immense and The Imperial picking him up straight after. Would you have done something different to ensure that teams wishing to be part of the Dell XPS Premiership Division had been dealt fairly? Maybe an "auction bid" so to speak...
ChrissyB: I think Ollie Hagues (Klash16) should play his game under the team he feels most comfortable with and if that's with The Imperial, then fair enough. I can't speak much about the issue as I'm not sure if either of these teams use contracts to secure their players. I would hazard a guess and say it's more like a gentleman's agreement that he's playing with The Imperial. Well done to the team for monitoring the situation closely. In terms of "auctions bids", maybe we can speak about it when the scene gets a bit bigger.
UKeSA Championship player Hawksey with UK Dignitas legend ChrissyB
Enemy Down: Your next match is with fellow team member, Luke Stovell (Motown/Classic). How do you feel the match will turn out, this week?
ChrissyB: Luke Stovell (Motown/Classic) is very good, online, so I'll have to cautious once on the field. I think he's playing very well at the moment, so I'm going to have to play my best to beat him. The first goal is important and whoever gets it, could go on to win by a big margin. I do hope it will be a great game and if we both play well, I'm sure it will be very close.
Enemy Down: So what are your score predicitons between you and Luke Stovell (Motown/Classic)?
ChrissyB: I'll try and jinx him! he'll probably win 3 - 2!!! Although, it's going to be seriously unpredictable.
Enemy Down: People are talking about a Dignitas 1st, 2nd and 3rd place result on the league table. Do you think that would be possible or do you think expectations are high because Luke Stovell (Motown/Classic), Michael Barrett (Bazza) and yourself are part of Dignitas?
ChrissyB: Of course it's possible and it would be great if it happened but we have a long way to go before talking about that. The league has so many good players, that we could all be fighting in a relegation scrap as well. It depends who can play the best consistantly and scrape the points. Being part of Dignitas, we only have expectations from the community. All we can do is do our best and if we are sitting top 3 at the end of the season, then that's great!
Enemy Down: FIFA has the Be A Pro 10 vs 10 mode. Do you think teams such as Dignitas, Imperial, Betamaxx, etc can get it together to get a professional team to compete if there was such a competition in the Premiership? Or do you think it's still to early for Be A Pro?
ChrissyB: I would love to see it and I think it's possible in the near future. I would start off with some exhibition/friendly matches to see if it works or not. Saying that, I'm not the biggest fan of Be A Pro growing. I think it's important for FIFA to remain 1 vs 1 to continue it's growth in eSports. Playing FIFA on 1 vs 1 mode offers so much more than playing in Be A Pro mode, as you are controlling 10 players, which can't be compared to real football in my opinion. As soon as you bring in the idea of being able to just control a player in a set role in Be A Pro mode, then you might as well go outside and play real football with your friends in a Sunday league.
Enemy Down: But what about those who can't play psyhical football due to disabilities?
ChrissyB: I was thinking about that too, so of course there are people who wish they could play football but can't. Therefore the 10 vs 10 Be A Pro mode is a great way to replicate that. It's an unpleasant subject for people who have had misfortunes and can't fulfil their dream of being a footballer or something else. However, I still don't think Be A Pro is the answer.
Enemy Down: What feature of FIFA 2010 would you like to see in the game?
ChrissyB: I think the developers at EA Sports should bring back the ability to move the keeper, like the PC version of FIFA 09. I think there still needs to be a big emphasis on online modes and options. Gamers will go and buy games due to their online performance and activity, so that needs to be looked into and improved in my opinion. Maybe even an online co-op careers mode and stuff like that.
Enemy Down: You've played in the Championship Gaming Series. What are your views on how it was executed and why do you think the organisation went into the "eSports Entertainment" direction?
ChrissyB: I personally think it was ill managed from the top. They took huge gambles and made big mistakes with money, something which you just can't do when your trying to build something from scratch. I think it had some good ideas with how it was executed, however they never backed up the studio footage with any decent features into the players lives, so I felt it was always impossible to build a fan base.
Enemy Down: While there have been some attempts in the past to create what UKeSA are doing right now, do you feel UKeSA are doing something right for eSports in general?
ChrissyB: It's hard to say so early on, but I do believe a good foundation is starting to be built for the future, which needs to happen first. New teams and organisations are starting to appear too, so I just hope these teams get the support they need in order to grow and develop. After all, the future is dependant on these teams. As long as things are done slowly and the right people are consulted, I don't see how UKeSA can fail.
Enemy Down: Thanks for your time Chris! It's been a pleasure as always.
nice read chris
good interview (Y)
nice one
Yeh i concur was interesting read.
Good read. With regards to the bidding for a player thing, that'd be a bad feature to incorporate. Fair enough if that player was contracted to a team but he was a free agent and UKeSA don't own the rights to that player so it should simply down to the player to select the team he wants to join.
Klash left immense for them being one sided for the other fifa player, he was a free agent, Immense no longer wanted him, whats wrong with that no "turmoil" what so ever
Agreed, if teams had to bid for players then it'd be a bit harsh on the lower level teams (like ourselves in fact) trying to build themselves up. If a player wants to play for a team and is a free agent he should be able to do as he pleases. I don't really see how him joining us caused ''turmoil'' either, but oh well.
It was a good read, good luck to you in UKeSA Chrissy. It'll be interesting to see how the leagues turn out.

Just got back home from eating out in Boone, NC...we left and were sitting at a stoplight that was red, waiting on it to turn green. All of the sudden my truck gets jarred from the rear and I realize what has happened. I get out and see my bumper on the right side pushed in with a small crease...I had a hitch ball on which I think may have helped me...not sure...hell maybe it made it worse. Anyway, the plastic in front of my license plate is scuffed up pretty good...I notice in the light when we get home that my bumper hit the bed and scuffed it up just a bit on the right side...and my bumper is obviously crooked now. I also noticed the gap between my cab on the passenger side is noticeably closer than on the driver side. The guy that hit me admitted to looking down to read a text when he hit us....go figure. I loved how he conveniently forgot to tell the cop that when he arrived...but I was sure to tell the cop myself. The vehicle that hit me was a Jeep Grand Cherokee and luckily it looks like he has State Farm insurance....I have progressive and have already called and filed my claim.
What pissed me off, besides the fact that he hit me...is that he proceeded to tell me that Maaco could fix my bumper for $20 bucks...they can "pop it right out" he said. I quickly told him No, they can't fix it for that, and paint it SWB, and fix the fact that it is crooked, scuffed, creased, and has knocked my bed out of alignment....not to mention whatever else may be bent that can't be seen. I informed him that my truck would be fixed correctly by a qualified shop and my bumper would be replaced....not merely fixed or popped out. Really? That truck is my baby...I work way too hard to have it.
This is where I need some advice...I have never been in an accident before...what tips can you all give me to make sure my baby is fixed right and that I get the maximum amount of insurance money from his insurance company? Progressive is due to come look at my truck before 5pm tomorrow.
Also, what are the chances that he has done major damage since my bed is out of line and my bumper was pushed against the bed?
I'm very grateful for any tips you can give...I have a 2011 TRD DbL Cab Sport...SWB....I can load pics tomorrow once it's daylight...it isn't awfully bad but it's there.

"its a disgrace if the team enters the season with more the 10 mill in salary cap" goes on to harp about mcginest and all those losses.. same old banter....he is become the new borges
F'k him. It's not his money. He can take his opinions and go to hell. I'm sick of the Boston Media. Reiss and Curran are the only guys that I have any use for.
well, judging from history, the Pats seem to think spending to the limit makes sense for their team since that is basically what they have done in the past. So, by not using all their cap money this year are defying their very own logic. Calling a disgrace is perjorative judgement, I'll admit. But even an unbiased assessment begs the question of why the Patriots haven't used all their cap space when that has been their M.O? Considering the players due new contracts like Samuel and Graham, and the opportunity to lock up their best WR, as well as passing on significant FA's, their own and otherwise, the massive vault of unused money does exactly have an easy explanation. His his qualifier, "if the team enters the season with more the 10 mill in salary cap," is important to consider since all of this money could be wisely spent before then. I'd give a break on this one...
well...its a catch 22 situation, if they spend the limit but without value , the pats get questioned about their selections like last yr with starks,beisel etc. if if they dont find value in spending money then they are acting cheap...writers want bb to sign the next harrison,phifer etc...i would ask felger, if he has 10 mill dollars now what is he going to spend on Branch, next ?
What a ********! But, in Red Sox town that's the way to build an audience. And, that is all he's doing.
They can use their cap dollars anytime during the season, right up until the season is over, or did the brilliant Felger forget to mention this fact? Also, we still have a month to go before the season starts or did he not realize what day it is? He has been so critical of the Patroits letting their older veterans (Willie, Adam) and overpaid Givens get away, when not too long ago he was saying the team was old and lacks youth. So we go with youth from the past 2 drafts and he then says we lack depth. Man oh man am I sick of this guy, ever since he went on he air he developed this Hollywood style pretty boy act and stopped reporting. I do not know why he turned against this team, unless he has decided the Borges manner of any press, good or bad, for a media whore such as the two of them, brings him the attention he seeks. Too bad he lost our respect in the process.
Felger and my wife should shop together. her -- "Let's buy that." me -- "why?!?" her -- "Why not, we can afford it" me -- "yeah, but why?!?" her -- "Why are you making a big deal out of it? We've got the money!" me -- "yes dear, I know... but what the hell are we going to do with it?" her -- "why are you being like this? I see the checkbook, I KNOW we can afford it" me -- "what aren't you understanding? Why do we NEED this thing? You've never even mentioned WANTING one of these before!" yada yada yada.
The disgrace will be if this team Ends the season with >$10M in cap space. There is still time...not as much as yesterday, but more than tomorrow.
One theory about the cap room is just maybe, as others have said here, they want to have more room during the season in case, oh I dunno, 4 CB's go down and they want to sign some better players then what minimum salary guys are worth. Add a deal for Branch, maybe a veteran QB if needed, a guy like Posey or say a Ted Washington-like deal for the end of August and there goes that $$$. Felger+radio show= AHole trying to cause debate. Felger-radio show= good reporter.

There are myriad places to paddle within an hour's drive of the city, including Williams Lake itself or around the Scout Island Nature Centre off Mackenzie Avenue and Borland Road.
About a half-hour drive away, paddlers will find Mcleese Lake, north of Williams Lake on Highway 97. And about 45 minutes from town, there is great paddling at Tyee Lake (northeast of town, off Highway 97 and the Lyne Creek Road), Till Lake (west of Williams Lake and located off Highway 20 on the Meldrum Creek Road) and Robert Lake (east of the city on the Beaver Valley Road near Horsefly).
Local suppliers also offer guided waterway tours and equipment rentals.
Prefer a day trip? The rapids at Big Canyon on the Quesnel River can be relaxing. Take the time to drift and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the river while gliding past rolling farmland. Two-day trips can include runs on the Cariboo River and overnight camping in the partially restored ghost town of Quesnel Forks. The next day typically involves tackling the advanced (Class IV) rapids on the Devil's Eyebrow section of the upper Quesnel River.
Experienced guides are available for river drifting and searching for the renowned grizzly bear. Guided jetboat cruises on the Fraser River to Soda Creek and Xat'sull Heritage Village pass by the territory of the largest non-migratory California bighorn sheep population in the world. They also proceed through Churn Creek Provincial Park, where Aboriginals lived, hunted and fished for centuries.
Notable whitewater trips also take place on the Quesnel, Cariboo and Fraser rivers, although side trips on quieter sections of rivers and lakes are popular as well.

A monthlong special reportfrom Spokesmanreview.com
As part of Child Abuse Prevention Month, The Spokesman-Review and other media are joining forces with child advocates, volunteers, business leaders and public officials to call attention to child abuse and neglect in the Inland Northwest. Coverage will run through April 30, including stories, photographs, videos and practical information about local resources and programs.
A look back at the community's progress and the challenges that remain since the first Our Kids: Our Business campaign in 2007.
Economically healthy communities need children who are living fulfilling lives. Portland's Children's Investment Fund is one of several levies nationwide that raise money to help children achieve their potential. Could the program work in the Inland Northwest?
Schools may be the social institution in the best position to help children escape the consequences of abuse and neglect. We examine the key moments in the educational experience that can make a difference.
Dr. Robert F. Anda, co-author of a key study on "Adverse Childhood Events" comes to Spokane on April 24 to share his public health experience and research. Children who grow up in disruptive environments suffer lasting consequences. Research shows that children exposed to violence are 4 times more likely to be involved in the juvenile offender system and three times more likely to drop out of school.
What have we learned from this year's Our Kids: Our Business campaign and what remains to be done?
An area-wide effort to protect and nurture our community's children.

Food Trivia & Food Facts Section
An eclectic collection of facts, histories, information and trivia about various foods, beverages, equipment, plants, and animals etc. from around the world
25 years ago large Atlantic bluefin tuna (250 to over 1,000 pounds) might sell for a penny a pound for catfood, if it sold at all. Today, that same bluefin tuna can sell for well over $100 per pound, mainly due to the popularity of sushi and sashimi around the world.
In 2001 a 440 pound bluefin sold for $173,600 in the Japanese Tsukiji fish market - that's about $394 per pound!
In 2009 a 282 pound Bluefin sold for $104,000 at the Tsukiji market ($371 per pound).
