EXO 25:8 And let them make me
a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,
and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall
be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit
and a half the height thereof.
25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou
overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
25:12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four
corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in
the other side of it.
25:13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
25:14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark,
that the ark may be borne with them.
25:15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from
25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make
them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
25:19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other
end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends
25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the
mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward
the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou
shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above
the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the
testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel.
25:23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the
height thereof.
25:24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of
gold round about.
25:25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and
thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
25:26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the
four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
25:27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to
bear the table.
25:28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with
gold, that the table may be borne with them.
25:29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers
thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.
25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the
candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his
flowers, shall be of the same.
25:32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the
candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of
the other side:
25:33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one
branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and
a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick.
25:34 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with
their knops and their flowers.
25:35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick.
25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one
beaten work of pure gold.
35:10 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD
hath commanded;
35:11 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards,
his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
35:12 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the
35:13 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
35:14 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps,
with the oil for the light,
35:15 And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the
sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the
39:33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his
furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
39:34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers'
skins, and the vail of the covering,
39:35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
39:36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
39:37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be
set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
4:5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they
shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
4:6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over
it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
4:7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue,
and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover
withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
4:8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with
a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
21:2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a
business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business
whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my
servants to such and such a place.
21:3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in
mine hand, or what there is present.
21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under
mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves
at least from women.
21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have
been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of
the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it
were sanctified this day in the vessel.
21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but
the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in
the day when it was taken away.
7:49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the
left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of
23:28 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of
the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying
of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
23:29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering,
and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for
that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the
new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded
unto them, continually before the LORD:
28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him
with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all
hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek
him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off
for ever.
28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the
sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the
houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof,
and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
28:12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the
house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of
the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
28:13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work
of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in
the house of the LORD.
28:14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all
manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all
instruments of every kind of service:
28:15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of
gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the
candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the
lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
28:16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every
table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for
the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver
by weight for every bason of silver:
28:18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the
pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and
covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
28:19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand
upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do
it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with
thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the
work for the service of the house of the LORD.
2:1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an
house for his kingdom.
2:2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and
fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred
to oversee them.
2:3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of
2:4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to
him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread,
and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the
new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance
for ever to
2:5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished:
and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and
the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures
of the house of God.
5:2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the
tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to
bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is
13:10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the
priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites
wait upon their business:
29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according
to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house
of the LORD.
29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to
cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple
of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it,
to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
29:17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on
the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they
sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the
first month they made an end.
29:18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all
the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels
thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
29:19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in
his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are
before the altar of the LORD.
10:33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for
the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set
feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement
for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
10:34 And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for
the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of
our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the
LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his
disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat.
12:2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples
do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an
hungred, and they that were with him;
12:4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread,
which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but
only for the priests?
12:5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests
in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
2:23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath
day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
2:24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day
that which is not lawful?
2:25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had
need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
2:26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest,
and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests,
and gave also to them which were with him?
2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6:1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went
through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did
eat, rubbing them in their hands.
6:2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not
lawful to do on the sabbath days?
6:3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David
did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
6:4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread,
and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for
the priests alone?
6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
9:1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a
worldly sanctuary.
9:2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick,
and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of
9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round
about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's
rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
9:5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we
cannot now speak particularly.

I have explored many different media over the 35 years of developing my craft. I've worked in printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, clay, contemporary furniture, steel, and digital and 35mm photography. I received my MFA from Otis/Parson's School of Design in Los Angeles in 1983 and have shown in galleries and exhibitions . For the past ten plus years I have made a living creating contemporary furniture with Pamela Holmes while still completing other works at the same time. The furniture Pamela and I produce is sculptural in nature and uses reclaimed wood, concrete, and steel. My art is in direct correlation with nature and I attempt to create a hologram of the spirit of my subject matter. My fascination with the figure and model...

Play our fun game and find out if the one you like likes you back. Confide in us if you think you'd hit it off by clicking: Yes, No, or Maybe. We'll anonymously find out and let you know if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said YES! If the feeling is mutual, we'll let you both know.
You've already said No. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You've already said Maybe. If you've changed your mind, let us know. If you say Yes, we'll anonymously find out if the feeling is mutual. You have nothing to lose!
You both said YES! The feeling is mutual. Now the rest is up to you! Say Hi and get the conversation started.
I am a happy, hopeful and optimistic person, well most of the time anyway. I like to laugh, even at myself when necessary! I value true and honest communication, and share my feelings easily. I consider myself to be a fantastic listener who is always interested in what others have to say. My 25 year marriage is over, and instead of being devastated, I've decided to be excited by the possibilities that lay ahead. I still believe that life is better when shared with someone special, and I hope to find that someone For me to consider you special you must be honest, a good communicator, have a sense of humour, and like to have fun! I would also want my future partner to be able and willing to be my best friend, to have my back, and to make me feel special in the little things you do. I dont need grand gestures, just be able to express what we mean to each other. I find that as I get older, (and yikes, 50 will be here soon :-))I am less afraid to take a risk and feel strongly that since we only get one life to live, it's best to live it to the fullest. For me, this means deeper connections with the important people in my life, and being open to new experiences. It also means putting myself out there on a dating site and risk making a fool of myself on a date! Dating is so much different these days! I love boating, mostly on lakes, and being surrounded by water in any form. Swimming in the ocean, a pool, the lake, a river, a hot tub, the mikveh(!)....all feed my soul. I love to travel when the opportunity is there, and I love being outdoors. There are so many activities and interests I enjoy and would love to share with the right person. There are also many experiences I have yet to try have but am eager to. I have 1300 characters left to use in this narrative, but I prefer to leave some things unsaid to be discovered as we get to know each other. I am a good person, mostly normal, and hopefully like you, just want someone to share life's blessings and challenges with.

Polarization and leakage properties of large-mode-area microstructured-core optical fibers
Optics Express, Vol. 15, Issue 19, pp. 12498-12507 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2155 KB)
A novel kind of highly birefringent large-mode-area optical fiber is proposed in this paper. Birefringence in the fiber is realized by the introduction of an anisotropic microstructured core. The microstuctured core is composed of down-doped silica rods embedded in the background of up-doped silica. Numerical investigations demonstrate that high birefringence on the order of 2×10-4 and hexagonal profile mode fields with mode areas larger than 300 µm2 can be achieved in the proposed fiber. The influence of doping levels on the properties of birefringence, confinement losses, and mode-areas of the fiber is also investigated. Based on the design, we also propose a novel kind of single-polarization single-mode optical fiber with a mode area of 725 µm2 and an operating wavelength range as large as 340 nm.

I'm working through a proof and one of the comments is that for a function $f\in L_p (\mathbb{T})$:
$$\lim_{t\to \infty}\;\|f(\cdot + t) - f\|_p = 0.$$
Should this read as $t\to 0$?
If so, how do I prove it? I think it is intuitively clear if $f$ is a step function, but what about for an arbitrary $p$ integrable function?

Boss pleased with Cole attitude
Roy Hodgson is delighted with the attitude of new signing Joe Cole. Cole was offered bigger wages elsewhere but chose to come to Liverpool for footballing reasons, despite what the sly dig from Carlo Ancelotti upon his departure from Chelsea would suggest. "I'm very pleased because any concern that it was going to turn into an auction all about money quickly disappeared after myself and Christian Purslow had a long conversation with Joe," said the boss. "Obviously he is going to be a high wage earner because he is a free transfer - he was at his previous club - and he would be worth a lot of money on the transfer market. "We wanted to make it clear that we wanted him for football reasons and only if he fitted in with our wage structure. "I'm pleased to say that Joe has chosen Liverpool to come and play football - and not because of the money. That's a very satisfying thing for me as a manager and for the club itself."

Was the Yankees-Tigers series the worst postseason sweep ever?
Oct 22, 2012, 8:53 AM EDT
It may have felt like that for Yankees fans, but according to Chris Jaffe's admittedly random and non-scientific formula involving blowouts, lead changes and run differential, it only ranks as the fourth worst sweep in playoff history. Although:
"When you factor in all the stuff the system doesn't account for—Jeter's injury, the booing, A-Rod's benching—this one probably deserves to be kicked up a bit"
Agreed. There were worse blowouts, obviously, and Chris' choice of number one is a good one that often goes unnoticed for understandable reasons, but there was a more dispiriting feel to this year's ALCS than a lot of past playoff sweeps.
Even if you disagree, it's a fun article which reminds you that not every playoff series is magical.
- realgone2 - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:01 AM
Not even close. The worst was the '66 WS. The Orioles destroyed the favored Dodgers.

Not from my seats!
Go TIGERS!
- stex52 - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:12 AM
I'm pretty surprised that the White Sox sweep of the Astros in 2005 didn't rank higher. Probably because it was an offensive futility series. The games were close because no one could hit. It wasn't much fun from a Houston standpoint, though.
- kiwicricket - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:13 AM
'Was the Yankees-Tigers series the BEST postseason sweep ever' ???
…the booing, ARods benching, Swisher's hurt feelings, the rag newspapers reaction afterwards….

I don't know that the reactions of the New York Pestilence added much of anything to the experience. It's nauseating enough to check out my soymilk and tofu past the gauntlet of tabloid viscosity at Publix as it is. I can't even imagine if I'd want to eat at all if I had to read the cover of the Pestilence as well.
- kiwicricket - Oct 22, 2012 at 11:48 AM
Soymilk and tofu? Two negatives make a positive, huh? That stuff will lower your testosterone, clinically proven by someone somewhere.
Get stuck into some Halloumi. Don't let it get cold.

If by lowering my testosterone it'll save some of my hair, more power to it. As for the rest of it, well, there's Viagra….

Well, if media narratives are your criterion, it was a pretty great series.
But that's a pretty regular East Coast coverage phenomenon.
- natstowngreg - Oct 22, 2012 at 1:23 PM
Dunno, there just seems to be something missing from the usual hysteria over the Yankees' failure. Something above and beyond the media rage and scapegoating. Took a while, but I finally remembered.
George Steinbrenner. Now there was a man who could create hysteria all by himself, even when the Yankees were winning. His sons just don't seem up to the task.
Rest in Peace, George.
- Old Gator - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:19 AM
It's a fun system, kinda like the baseball prediction equivalent of cold fusion. I think though that spoiled expectations should be factored in as well, in which case this series really gets "kicked up" a bit. Then again, there were warnings. The Borg lost a huge divisional lead in September, playing poorly all month, only finding a little extra gas once the Gloryholes were nipping hard at their tushies and barely eking out the division lead at the wire. Maybe we should have seen this coming – and didn't only because that stellar Borg mystique obscured how vulnerable they really were.

- cackalackyank - Oct 22, 2012 at 10:08 AM
I have to say I saw it coming…at one point I speculated that the Yankees might not even make the playoffs due to hitting with RISP issue. I also opined (very wrongly), that if the Yankees didn't go to the world series it MIGHT be because of the pitching at that point…but nope, even allowing for CC'c dud…the pitching can't be listed as the cause for what is likely one of the 3 worst NYY performances in the post season.

To Yankee fans, it was pretty damn ugly.
- Old Gator - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:24 AM
It was probably ugly to Beanbag fans as well. It's one thing to know you were beaten by the best. What satisfaction could they take in having been bested in the division by a team that played so terribly?
- sdelmonte - Oct 22, 2012 at 9:31 AM
Yeah, the '89 Series has to count as the worst. But it gets a huge asterisk, since I suspect that to a very large degree, no one's head was really in it by the time play resumed. It was a bigger victory for the Bay Area that life could go on than any the A's did on the field. This isn't to take anything away from the A's, but we will never know what might have been if the third game wasn't pre-empted.

Secondly, the Tigers now officially OWN the Yankees in the post-season. This is the THIRD time since 2006 that the Tigers have sent the Yankees home early.
And finally…this is the end of this Yankee era. Jeter may (or may not) return. A-Rod will be run out of town – and he'll probably go happily. Rivera may (or may not) be back – but if anyone can come back at that age, it's him. Swisher is history. Ibanez is 40 (God love 'em!). This bunch is DONE.
Let the rebuilding phase begin!

People who love their cars understand that only the best quality replacement parts should be installed. The Ford Ranger Timing Belt must be changed as recommended so as to avoid engine damage; they are known to break after about 100,000 miles. The Ford Ranger Timing Belt matches the timing of the motor's camshaft with that of the crankshaft, allowing the valves to open and shut in sync. Ford Ranger Timing Belts are not expensive, however replacing this part tends to be a very involved project, resulting in a high repair bill. The Ford Ranger Timing Belt is little different than a timing chain; it meshes the timing of the motor's camshaft with that of the crankshaft in the same manner.
They are available for the following Ford Ranger years: 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 86, 85, 84, 83.

VIENNA, Va.—Thinking about getting on board with the CSAA to take advantage of the new Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) program? To be among the stations at the front of the line, you'd better act soon–a Jan. 31 deadline will separate the haves from the have-nots.
CONCORD, N.C.—ISI Alarms, a super-regional based here, is relocating its headquarters and call center to a new community and a much larger space, and is planning to hire as many as 200 additional employees over the next two years, according to company officials.
PITTSBURGH—Vector Security CEO Pam Petrow said recent natural disasters on the East Coast have provided a proof of concept for CSAA's ASAP-to-the-PSAP program.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The Central Station Alarm Association held its general membership meeting on June 7 at the ESX show, and the message to attendees was that while the economy is tough, the monitoring industry's association is doing okay and is pushing for action in the form of a nationwide initiative to radically revamp public safety communications.
DALLAS—A new partnership between "one of the top dealers in the country" and recently acquired Monitronics, one of the largest wholesale monitoring companies in the country, means only good things, according to both parties.
DALLAS—A new technology partnership aims to simplify and speed up 911 dispatch for central stations. Furthermore, the partnership aligns with current efforts on the part of the Central Station Alarm Association and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials.
PALM BEACH, Fla.—The media in Ascent Media—the new owner of Monitronics—is really limited to the company name. That was one of the messages from Bill Fitzgerald, chairman of the board of Ascent Media Corporation, at the Barnes Buchanan conference here in February. He got some laughs from the conference crowd when he said: "You're looking at me and thinking 'Here come the cable guys again.'" In some ways, Fitzgerald said, the crowd was right to think that. After all, Fitzgerald came to Ascent Media from AT&T Broadband, formerly known as TeleCommunications, Inc. (TCI). He also still holds the post of SVP of Liberty Media Corporation, whose chairman is cable industry pioneer John Malone.
The controversy surrounding Article 6-E—proposed legislation in New York that looks to vet and license central station employees according to statewide standards—has many in the industry talking about central station employee training. There are plenty of virtual and classroom training options provided by industry associations like CSAA and SIA. And, many monitoring companies take full control and create their own training programs for employees.
SANTA MONICA, Calif.—Ascent Media Corporation, a holding company based here, announced on Dec. 17 that it had agreed to purchase Monitronics International in a deal valued at $1.2 billion.
Prior to an Ascent investor call on Monday, Dec. 20, Monitronics president and CEO Mike Haislip told Security Systems News in an exclusive interview why he felt the acquisition was a sign of good things to come.
"We're really excited about this because it brings a lot of stability having someone like Ascent behind us. It's their first foray into security, but we think it's a very good fit."

It comes as no surprise that one of Montevideos best-known young artists, Martín Sastre (b. 1976), lives and practices in Spain. Still, Sastre maintains a connection with his country of birth through www.martinsastre.com, the home site for "The Foundation for the Super Poor Arts," which ostensibly provides a three-month stipend to work and live in Montevideo to three "first world" students from Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany.

One method of examining bladder function is by injecting dye that is visible on X-rays through a tube (catheter) to fill the bladder. X-rays are taken while the bladder is full and while the patient is urinating (voiding) to determine if fluid is forced out of the bladder through the urethra (normal) or up through the ureters into the kidney (vesicoureteral reflux). This study is usually done with the patient lying on an X-ray table.

Much of the credit has to go to MacDonald's replacement, Thomas McCollum, who continues to shine as the Griffins' chief goaltender. McCollum turned in another outstanding performance in Sunday's 2-1 win over Hamilton at Copps Coliseum that earned the Griffins a split of two weekend games in Ontario.
McCollum stopped 21 of 22 shots as the Griffins (8-4-0-3) slid into a three-way tie for second place in the North Division with 19 points. McCollum now has given up just four goals in his past four games.
McCollum has been a key for a Griffins club which has earned points in eight of their past 10 games. Despite a 2-1 loss at Hamilton Saturday, Grand Rapids is 6-2 on the road this season. Hamilton has one of the top home records in the AHL with a 7-2-1-0 mark.
While McCollum has played well, the Griffins' defense as a whole was impressive in the two games in Hamilton. Grand Rapids limited the Bulldogs to five shots or fewer in four of the six periods over the two games.McCollum gave up his only goal to Hamilton's Yannick Weber at 1:31 of the third period. That tied the game at 1-1. But the Griffins' Brandon Straub snapped the tie with a game-winning goal at the 7:11 mark. It was Straub's first goal and first point of the season in eight games.
Grand Rapids had taken a 1-0 lead on a goal by Francis Pare at 8:53 of the first period. It was Pare's fourth goal of the season.

Peroxidase-dependent cross-linking reactions of p-hydroxycinnamates in plant cell walls. Phytochemistry Reviews. 3:79-96 Interpretive Summary: Peroxidases are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of several components of the plant cell wall. Lignins, that are over-quoted as being the second most abundant terrestrial polymers, comprise some 10-30% of plant biomass. Peroxidases ostensibly provide the oxidizing capability for coupling every single lignin (phenolic) precursor into the complex lignin polymer. This paper is concerned with more subtle reactions on a smaller scale that nevertheless have significant impacts on plant cell wall biosynthesis and architecture. Low levels of cell wall cross-linking strengthens the walls but negatively impacts economically important natural processes such as ruminant digestibility. Grasses have so-called hydroxycinnamates intimately associated with their cell walls. Hydroxycinnamates are also apparent in cereal grains, where they may be responsible for some of the health benefits. Oxidation reactions of hydroxycinnamates are crucial to a diverse array of important cell wall cross-linking mechanisms. New cross-linking mechanisms continue to be found and are reported here. More extensive cross-linking action by the most important hydroxycinnamate, ferulate, has just been revealed with the discovery of trimeric compounds in which three ferulates, attached to their polysaccharides, are cross-linked. Significant issues remain for separating and quantifying these important components and in understanding mechanistic details. Ultimately, researchers will learn more about the impact of these diverse products of cell wall cross-linking have on physiological processes, including ruminant and human nutrition. Technical Abstract: Peroxidases are heavily implicated in plant cell wall cross-linking reactions, altering the properties of the wall and impacting its utilization. Polysaccharide-polysaccharide cross-linking in grasses is achieved by dehydrodimerization of hydroxycinnamate-polysaccharide esters; a whole range of hydroxycinnamic acid dehydrodimers are released by saponification. Ferulates are the major cross-linking agents, but sinapates have now been implicated in a similar role; sinapate dehydrodimers and sinapate-ferulate cross-products have been discovered. New dehydrodimers have been authenticated, expanding our knowledge of the chemistry, role, and extent of cross-linking reactions. The first ferulate dehydrotrimer has been reported and there are suggestions that it may be only one of several higher oligomers; whether these trimers truly cross-link three independent polysaccharide chains or only two remains to be determined. Hydroxycinnamates and their dehydrodimers also undergo radical coupling reactions with lignin monomers and possibly oligomers, resulting in lignin-polysaccharide cross-linking in the wall. Both polysaccharide-polysaccharide and lignin-polysaccharide cross-links inhibit cell wall degradation in ruminants. |

Anchoring fees
The province of British Columbia has begun charging $2/meter for dropping anchor within the limits of about 10 marine parks. The decision is very unpopular and may not even be legal, since the same fee was struck down by the Ontario courts since navigable water, and the right to anchor to the seabed in same, is a Federal Jurisdiction. Is there a precedent in US waters for charging boaters for anchoring? Is this over the top, or is British Columbia finally catching up to the way it is everywhere else?
Anchoring fees
There has been alot of discussion about this on the pacnorthwest group. Finally it has been noted that all such fees have been repeled and the only fees charged are use fees for going ashore and using the park facilities. And or tieing up to a mooring or using a slip. I see nothing wroung with the new fees set by BC

A study that was published in the July 2011 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that eating your veggies–particularly cruciferous vegetables–can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease.
The study followed 73,000 men and 67,000 women for approximately five and 10 years, respectively, collecting information on their consumption of fruits and vegetables. The results showed that men and women who ate the most fruits and veggies were 16 percent less likely to have died of heart disease during the study than those who ate the least.
BUT, people who ate the most cruciferous vegetables–meaning broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale–were 22 percent less likely to die of heart disease.
Bonus: Another new study shows that cruciferous veggies are also good for boosting immunity!

Spark ST6-460NW & ST6-500CW XM-L Headlamp Review
Spark started off not very long ago by making some very interesting headlamps. The headlamps include a clear and frosted lens, giving you the option of either a traditional focused or a more diffused beam. The 460NW has a neutral white/outdoor tint and the 500CW has a traditional cool white tint. Both models are using 18650 batteries and the XM-L LEDs, which will light up a wider area than the XP-G LEDs. ST6-460NW: goinggear.com ST6-500CW: goinggear.com

How does the ST6 with a diffuser compare to the SD6 floody? I've watched both videos and it sure looks like the ST6 with a diffuser just beats the pants off the SD6, which was barely able to illuminate the tree 15 feet away.
Primary use for the light will be competitive mountain trail running. I need a light that doesn't have a hotspot and that does? an excellent job illuminating a gnarly trail I will be bombing down. I'm concerned SD6 will be too weak and ST6 will rotate. Any input? -
Matt Saetern (784 days)
I know what you mean about the ST-6. I have the NW version and fell in love with the fact that I can work on cars and other things with both my hands. I've got no complaint? about it. Very versatile light with good amount of lighting. 18650′s are the best you can go without over-doing its weight for the run times. My only complaint is that the low mode is a bit too bright for that bump in the night or late-night bathroom breaks…
Scott Trowbridge (784 days)
This headlamp is awesome. I recently purchased the ST6-500CW from the crew at GoingGear and removed the strap and mounted the headlamp on my MTB helmet with a couple zip ties. I have combined this light with? the Olight M30 Triton that I mounted on my handle bars. The combination is fantastic for night rides! The headlamp makes everything in close proximity light up very well using the diffuser and the 770 lumen Olight shines well down the trail. Awesome combination for night rides! Thanks!

Hey Marshall which one has better throw, the Spark ST6-360CW XP-G R5 Cool White 360 Lumen Headlamp or Spark ST6-500CW XM-L T6 Cool White 500 Lumen Headlamp the? reason i ask is they both come with a diffuser so the one with better throw can function as 2 uses, throw or with frosted lens, flood beam.

Elaborate Shabti of the "Lady of the House …," a title commonly used for married women
Egypt 13th century BCE Painted limestone H: 24.7; W: 9 cm Gift of Abraham Guterman, New York, to American Friends of the Israel Museum Accession number: 97.63.165 |
Perceiving the realm of the dead primarily as a continuation of earthly existence, the ancient Egyptians described the afterlife in terms of their agricultural society. This is reflected in the shabti-a funerary statuette made to serve as a substitute for its owner in performing menial corvee labor in the afterlife. Such labor, consisting mainly of seasonal agricultural work for the king, was imposed on the majority of the population, and only a privileged few were exempt.
The fear of being summoned for corvee work in the afterlife was shared by all Egyptians; shabti statuettes were placed in tombs of all members of the elite, men as well as women, including the king. Usually represented mummiform with agricultural tools in their hands and baskets hanging from their back, shabtis were made of various materials, such as wood, glazed composition, stone, bronze, and glass. Most are inscribed with the name and title of their owner and a customary spell reading: "O, this shabti, if one summons for all the works to be done in the god's land, to make arable the fields, to carry the sand of the east and of the west. I shall do it, here I am, you shall say."
This elaborate shabti was made for a woman of high social status whose name has been lost, although her title, "Lady of the House" - a customary designation for married women - survived.
