36. Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley's bob may be precise, but the star can be a lot more spontaneous when it comes to selecting a style. "She's quite up for doing different things," said her hairstylist Ben Skervin. "Sometimes I'll get a call: 'You weren't around yesterday, so I went and got my hair cut off!'"
37. Katie Holmes
Katie Holmes channeled her inner flapper, opting for a sleek, chin-length bob reminiscent of Louise Brooks's signature 'do in 2007. "Katie's great bone structure means she can try a lot of different looks," said her hairstylist Andy LeCompte. The side-swept bangs give the otherwise traditional style a modern twist.
38. Cameron Diaz
To create Cameron Diaz's tousled crop, her hairstylist Lona Vigi created a deep side part while her strands were wet, then dried her hair using a round brush. "Pull the bangs forward first with the brush, then overextend them to the other side to create a sexy side sweep," said Vigi. "Then, place clips throughout the rest of your hair to enhance your natural wave."

The World's Greatest Wine Estates: A Modern Perspectiveby Robert M Parker
The Elements of a Great Wine
What is a great wine? This is one of the most controversial subjects of the vinous world. Isn't greatness in wine, much like a profound expression of art or music, something very personal and subjective? As much as I agree that the appreciation and enjoyment of art, music, or wine is indeed personal, high quality in wine, as in art and music, does tend to be subject to widespread agreement (except for the occasional contrarian). Few art aficionados would disagree with the fact that Picasso, Rembrandt, Bacon, Matisse, Van Gogh, or Michelangelo were extraordinary artists. And though certainly some dissenters can be found regarding the merits of composers such as Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, or Brahms, or in the more modern era, such musicians/songwriters as Bob Dylan, the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, the majority opinion is that these people have produced exceptional music.
It is no different with wine. Most wine drinkers agree that the legendary wines of the 20th century — 1945 Mouton Rothschild, 1945 Haut-Brion, 1947 Cheval Blanc, 1947 Pètrus, 1961 Latour, 1982 Mouton Rothschild, 1982 Le Pin, 1982 Lèoville-Las-Cases, 1989 Haut-Brion, 1990 Margaux, and 1990 Pètrus, to name some of the most renowned red Bordeaux — are profoundly riveting. Tasting is indeed subjective, and no one should feel forced to feign fondness for a work by Picasso or Beethoven, much less a bottle of 1961 Latour, but as with most of the finest things in life, there is considerable agreement as to what represents high quality.
Two things that all can agree on are the origin and production of the world's finest wines. Great wines emanate from well-placed vineyards with microclimates favorable to specific types of grapes. Profound wines, whether they are from France, Italy, Spain, California, or Australia, are also the product of conservative viticultural practices that emphasize low yields, and physiologically rather than analytically ripe fruit. After 27 years spent tasting over 300,000 wines, I have never tasted a superb wine that was made from underripe fruit. Does anyone enjoy the flavors of an underripe orange, peach, apricot, or cherry? Low yields and ripe fruit are essential for the production of extraordinary wines, yet it is amazing how many wineries never seem to understand this fundamental principle.
In addition to the commonsense approach of harvesting mature fruit, and pruning to discourage the vine from overproducing, the winery's individual winemaking philosophy is of paramount importance. Exceptional wines (whether they be red, white, or sparkling) emerge from a similar philosophy, which includes the following: 1) permit the vineyard's terroir (soil, microclimate, distinctiveness) to express itself; 2) allow the purity and characteristics of the grape varietal, or blend of varietals, to be faithfully represented in the wine; 3) produce a wine without distorting the personality and character of a particular vintage by excessive manipulation; 4) follow an uncompromising, noninterventionist winemaking philosophy that eschews the food-processing, industrial mindset of high-tech winemaking — in short, give the wine a chance to make itself naturally without the human element attempting to sculpt or alter the wine's intrinsic character; 5) follow a policy of minimal handling, clarification, and treatment of the wine so that what is placed in the bottle represents as natural an expression of the vineyard, varietal, and vintage as is possible. In keeping with this overall philosophy, winemakers who attempt to reduce such traumatic clarification procedures as fining and filtration, while also lowering sulphur levels (which can dry out a wine's fruit, bleach color from a wine, and exacerbate the tannin's sharpness), produce wines with far more aromatics and flavors, as well as more enthralling textures. These are wines that offer consumers their most compelling and rewarding drinking experiences. Assuming there is a relatively broad consensus as to how the world's finest wines originate, what follows is my working definition of an exceptional wine. In short, what are the characteristics of a great wine?
Lamentably, terroir has become such a politically correct buzzword that in some circles it is an egregious error not to utter some profound comments about finding "a sense of somewhereness" when tasting a Vosne-Romanée-Les Malconsorts or a Latricières-Chambertin. Leading terroirists make a persuasive and often eloquent case about the necessity of finding, as one observer puts it, "the true voice of the land" in order for a wine to be legitimized.
Yet like so many things about wine, especially tasting it, there is no scientific basis for anything the terroirists propose. What they argue is what most Burgundians and owners of France's finest vineyards give lip service to — that for a wine to be authentic and noble it must speak of its terroir.
On the other side of this issue are the "realists," or should I call them modernists. They suggest that terroir is merely one of many factors that influence a wine's style, quality, and character. Soil, exposition, and microclimate (terroir) most certainly impart an influence, but so do the following:
Rootstock — Is it designed to produce prolific or small crop levels?
Yeasts — Does the winemaker use the vineyard's wild yeasts or are commercial yeasts employed? Every yeast, wild or commercial, will give a wine a different set of aromatics, flavor, and texture.
Yields and Vine Age — High yields result in diluted wine. Low yields, usually less than two tons per acre or 35-40 hectoliters per hectare, result in wines with much more concentration and personality. Additionally, young vines have a tendency to overproduce, whereas old vines produce small berries and less wine. Crop thinning is often employed with younger vineyards to increase the level of concentration.
Harvest Philosophy — Is the fruit picked underripe (with greener, cooler red fruit flavors) to preserve more acidity, or fully ripe (with darker fruit flavors and lower acids) to emphasize the lushness and opulence of a given varietal?
Vinification Techniques and Equipment — There are an amazing number of techniques that can change the wine's aromas and flavors. Moreover, equipment choice (different presses, destemmers, etc.) can have a profound influence on the final wine.
Elevage (or the wine's upbringing) — Is the wine brought up in oak barrels, concrete vats, stainless-steel vats, or large oak vats (which the French call foudres)? What is the percentage of new oak? Of these elements, only oak exerts an influence on the wine's character. Additionally, transferring wine (racking) from one container to another has an immense impact on a wine's bouquet and flavor. Is the wine allowed to remain in long contact with its lees (believed to give the wine more aromatic complexity and fullness)? Or is it racked frequently for fear of picking up an undesirable lees smell?
Fining and Filtration — Even the most concentrated and profound wines that terroirists consider quintessential examples of the soil can be eviscerated and stripped of their personality and richness by excessive fining and filtering. Does the winemaker treat the wine with kid gloves, or is the winemaker a manufacturer/processor bent on sculpturing the wine?
Bottling Date — Does the winemaker bottle early to preserve as much fruit as possible, or does he bottle later to give the wine a more mellow, aged character? Undoubtedly, the philosophy of when to bottle can radically alter the character of a wine.
Cellar Temperature and Sanitary Conditions — Some wine cellars are cold and others are warm. Different wines emerge from cold cellars (development is slower and the wines are less prone to oxidation) than from warm cellars (the maturation of aromas and flavors is more rapid and the wines are quicker to oxidize). Additionally, are the wine cellars clean or dirty?
These are just a handful of factors that can have extraordinary impact on the style, quality, and personality of a wine. As the modernists claim, the choices that man himself makes, even when they are unquestionably in pursuit of the highest quality, can contribute far more to a wine's character than the vineyard's terroir.
If you are wondering where I stand on terroir, I do believe it is an important component in the production of fine wine. However, I would argue that the most persuasive examples of terroir do not arise from Burgundy, but rather, from white wine varietals planted in Alsace and Germany. If one is going to argue terroir, the wine has to be made from exceptionally low yields; fermented with only the wild yeasts that inhabit the vineyard; brought up in a neutral medium, such as old barrels, cement tanks, or stainless steel; given minimal cellar treatment; and bottled with little or no fining or filtration.
Terroir, as used by many of its proponents, is often a convenient excuse for upholding the status quo. If one accepts the fact that terroir is everything and is essential to legitimize a wine, how should consumers evaluate the wines from Burgundy's most famous grand cru vineyard, Chambertin? This 32-acre vineyard boasts 23 different proprietors. But only a handful of them appear committed to producing an extraordinary wine. Everyone agrees this is a hallowed piece of ground, but I can think of only a few producers — Domaine Leroy, Domaine Ponsot, Domaine Rousseau, Domaine des Chézeaux (Ponsot made the wine for Chézeaux) — that produce wines that merit the stratospheric reputation of this vineyard. Yet the Chambertins of three of these producers, Leroy, Ponsot, and Rousseau, are completely different in style. The Ponsot wine was the most elegant, supple, and round; Leroy's is the most tannic, backward, concentrated, and meaty; and Rousseau's is the darkest- colored, most dominated by new oak, and most modern in style, taste, and texture. As for the other 18 or 20 producers (and I am not even thinking about the various négociant offerings), what Burgundy wine enthusiasts are likely to encounter on retailers' shelves ranges from mediocre to appallingly thin and insipid. What wine, may I ask, speaks for the soil of Chambertin? Is it the wine of Leroy, the wine of Ponsot, the wine of Rousseau?
Arguments such as this can be made with virtually any significant Burgundy vineyard. Consider Corton-Charlemagne and four of its most celebrated producers. The firm of Faiveley owns the most prized parcel atop this famous hill, and they make a compellingly elegant Corton-Charlemagne. Stylistically, it is the antithesis of the super-concentrated, lavishly oaky, broadly flavored, alcoholic Corton-Charlemagne made by Louis Latour. Again, Domaine Leroy makes a backward, hard, tough Corton-Charlemagne that resembles a tannic red more than a white wine. Domaine Coche-Dury makes a wine with extraordinary mineral components, as well as remarkable richness, unctuosity, and opulence where the oak takes a back seat to the wine's fruit and texture. Which of these Corton-Charlemagnes has that notion of "somewhereness" that is raised by the terroirists to validate the quality of a vineyard?
Are terroirists kindergarten intellectuals who should be doing more tasting and less talking? Of course not. But they can be accused of naïvely swallowing the tallest tale in winedom. On the other hand, the realists should recognize that no matter how intense and concentrated a wine can be from a modest vineyard in Givry, it will never have the sheer complexity and class of a Vosne-Romanée grand cru from a conscientious producer.
In conclusion, it is fundamental that no great wine can be made from mediocre terroir, and any top wine must, to some degree, reflect its place of origin. Yet wine enthusiasts need to think of terroir as you do salt, pepper, and garlic. In many dishes they can represent an invaluable component, imparting wonderful aromas and flavors. But if consumed alone, they are usually difficult to swallow. Moreover, all the hyperventilation over terroir obscures the most important issue of all — identifying and discovering those producers who make wines worth drinking and savoring!
These producers, to a man and woman, all have an enviable passion, intensity, and commitment to hard work. They refuse to compromise, and they recognize their responsibilities as the custodians of special pieces of property. Their sole purpose is to deliver to the consumer the most natural, uncompromised, unmanipulated expression of their vineyard, vintage, and varietal that is humanly possible. For the most part, the vast majority of the men and women behind great wines are humble servants of Mother Nature.
Most of the producers in this book are, I am sure, capable of pursuing more lucrative careers in other fields of work, but they are wedded to the concept that wine is not a business but a culture that ties together man, nature, and land. It embodies civilization at its finest, and is capable of bringing together diverse people to share the joy of a beverage that has been an important component of every major civilization in the Western world.

Crop insurance costs expected to double, but agreement renegotiations may yield savingsWASHINGTON — The government's cost of insuring increasingly valuable crops could double this year to about $9 billion, but the amount of savings from the Obama administration's renegotiation of the agreement with crop insurance companies also may be more than twice than what was expected, key industry leaders said March 8.
By: Jerry Hagstrom, Special to Agweek
WASHINGTON — The government's cost of insuring increasingly valuable crops could double this year to about $9 billion, but the amount of savings from the Obama administration's renegotiation of the agreement with crop insurance companies also may be more than twice than what was expected, key industry leaders said March 8.
Record-high commodity prices, volatility and a 10 million-acre increase in planted acres all are causing the cost of insuring crops to rise, according to the National Crop Insurance Services, an industry-sponsored research group that announced the figures in a telephone news conference.
"It is important that policy officials understand the relationship between a higher value of U.S. agricultural production and increased cost exposure of the crop insurance program," said Tom Zacharias, NCIS president. "Insurance protects the value of the underlying asset, and when higher prices increase the value of the asset, the risk of having to pay higher indemnities goes up. Thus, policy officials should be prepared —and not think something is wrong with the program — if program costs turn out higher this year."
But the costs could cause Congress to think twice during the 2012 farm bill debate as lawmakers try to figure out what farm programs are the most important to keep and protect while they look to cut the deficit.
The increased cost of crop insurance — designed to go up when crop prices go up — is in dramatic contrast to the cost of price-related direct farm subsidies, which go down when prices go up, noted Keith Collins, a former USDA chief economist and crop insurance board chairman who is a NCIS consultant.
"The asset you are insuring goes up, the risk exposure goes up," Collins said.
Payment cap
The costs would be even higher if the Obama administration had not put a cap on the administrative and operating expense payments to insurance companies when it negotiated a new standard reinsurance agreement with them last year.
If the old agreement had been in place, the cost of those payments would have followed the rise in insurance premiums and totaled $2 billion, industry officials said. The agreement caps the payments at $1.3 billion, which means a savings of $700 million. When USDA's Risk Management Agency negotiated the new agreement, it estimated that the savings would be $6 billion in 10 years and $335 million in 2011.
A spokeswoman for RMA Administrator Bill Murphy said the agency was unwilling to confirm the industry figures. The closing date for insurance sales for 80 percent of U.S. crops is March 15.
"It is too early to judge exactly how farmers will respond to how today's commodity prices and volatility factors have affected premium rates for 2011 spring crops," said Shirley Pugh, the spokeswoman. "None of the savings would have been possible if the Obama administration and the companies had not negotiated (the new agreement) in good faith."
In their news conference, crop insurance officials acknowledged that premium prices would be much higher this year because many commodity prices are at record levels and more volatile. But they emphasized that farmers' potential earnings also are much higher, and that at these levels, crop insurance payments would pay back the cost of production if there were a crop failure.
Higher value, higher premium
The higher premiums mean increased income for the companies, but the officials emphasized higher premiums and higher-valued crops also mean increased liabilities if a crop should fail partly or completely. Premiums may rise from $7.6 billion in 2010 to $11 billion, of which $6.6 billion or 60 percent would come from the government, Collins said. Liabilities for the companies could total $112 billion, up from $80 billion in 2011, Collins added. Zacharias said that the companies are working with reinsurance companies to assume part of the obligation in case of crop losses.
Collins said that if government expenditures reach more than $9 billion, that figure would be composed of $1.3 billion in administrative and operating expenses to deliver the policies, $6.6 billion in producer premium subsidies and $1.3 billion in underwriting gains, the insurance company term for profits, which are calculated as 14.5 percent of retained premiums.
Collins noted that the program has fulfilled Congress' goal because it has reduced the need for ad hoc disaster programs.
"We have gotten this far because we have encouraged participation," he said.
Congress did, however, include a permanent disaster program called SURE in the 2008 farm bill. In 2010, when SURE proved inadequate to cover crop losses in the South, and when Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., who was seeking re-election, had a hard time getting an ad hoc disaster program through Congress, the Agriculture Department stepped in with a special disaster program that critics found questionable.
Regional differences
Crop insurance is more popular in the Midwest than in the South, where farmers say the policies do not work as well for cotton and rice. Southerners vigorously have defended the $5 billion in direct payments that crop farmers get whether prices are high or low, while Northern farmers have suggested that the direct payment money could be better used to improve crop insurance.
Collins said that the producer premium subsidy has never been targeted for a cut in farm bill negotiations, but American Farm Bureau Federation lobbyist Mary Kay Thatcher has noted that the producer premium subsidy is now one of the biggest pots of money in the farm bill, and could well be targeted.
Critics such as the Environmental Working Group already have said that Congress should cut the direct payments to farmers, contending that in times of high crop prices, they cannot be justified.
Asked whether Congress would be likely to cut the producer premium subsidy in the farm bill, the direct payments, or both, Collins said, "We could answer that one and be taken to a psychiatrist, or figure out how not to answer it."
In reality, he concluded, the answer "depends on the balance of interests" in the farm bill debate.

CENTENNIAL — Picture a hand.
It is a left hand. A man's hand.
On the third finger is a gold band; it looks like a wedding ring. There is an inscription — words you don't read.
Picture the person who goes with this hand.
He is married. There was a wedding, with family and friends and the bride and groom smushing cake into each other's faces.
Perhaps he has children. They miss him. They love him.
This is what Mike Dobersen thinks about when he thinks about Sept. 11.
Dobersen, the Arapahoe County coroner, was working in the New York City morgue about two weeks after the attacks when he saw the hand. For a 12-hour shift, he worked with a forensic anthropologist to identify human remains brought in from ground zero. It was a certain kind of last rites for victims of the attacks.
"There wasn't much we could do for the families other than to offer them our condolences and say that we would do whatever we could to account for their loved ones," he says.
Often, the remains arrived as tiny abstracts — a fleck of bone, a piece of muscle tissue. The fragmentation only underscored for Dobersen the brutality of the tragedy.
And yet it is the image of the hand that sticks with him most because here was something recognizably human, suggesting a story, a life.
In 18 years as Arapahoe County's coroner, Dobersen has borne clinical witness to countless acts of violence and disaster. He performed autopsies on five victims of the Columbine High School shootings. He went to Louisiana to identify victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"The more experience I get," Dobersen says, "the more I'm able to help these families."

While Khloe Kardashian was off getting pampered at a Beverly Hills hotel last night with her closest friends, fiancé Lamar Odom hit the town with his teammates and a few friends.
Lamar opted out of a crazy-style bachelor party, and decided to have a nice dinner at LA hotspot STK. The group, including Joe Francis and Scott Disick, sat down to dinner after 10PM.
An eyewitness tells Us Weekly, "Lamar was giddy, really happy to be around his friends, hugging a lot of them. Lamar even took a timeout to take photos with diners."
After dinner, the group headed over to West Hollywood club Guys and Dolls, and Lamar was definitely the main event of the evening! The source says, "Lamar was in a great mood. I've never seen him smiling and laughing so much. He was the center of attention all night, and he was loving it!"
Lamar's Laker teammate Ron Artest took the mic at one point, announcing, "Everyone raise their glass ... Sunday is the big day. Big baller's getting married!"
The boys reportedly stayed until closing! Hope Lamar enjoyed his last night of freedom. Although something tells us being married to Khloe Kardashian would be a fun party all the time!

Clean house
The Nueces County Commissioners have done it again.
In their wisdom, they have given themselves a $5,000 pay raise to go along with additional car allowances. To the working force of the county, they gave a hefty 2.5% pay raise which is a joke. The commissioners have stated that they have to stay competitive with other counties as far as their salaries so they can work harder.
Really? How about your work forces salaries? Doesnt your work force deserve a better pay raise? At least the work force works full time, unlike the commissioners. To make matters worse, the commissioners, in their infinite wisdom, decided that if you have been employed with the county three years or less, you get nothing.
It is just amazing how county government had no problems funding the Richard M. Borchard Regional Fairgrounds but cant find revenue to take care of the work force. I call on voters to observe your county leaders for what they are and be prepared to clean house at election time.

Not our mess
Bill O'Reilly usually writes for Republican interests. So his column, "We Can't Just Walk Away From the Mess in Iraq" (Sept. 4) was just more of the same Republican defense of Bush and the Iraq war.
O'Reilly vilified those of us who oppose the war as "cut and runners." The pundit did include a little common sense, though. Most notably, he finally admitted that Iraq's war is "a mess" and that the Iraqi government is "corrupt and cowardly."
However, no matter how much reality proves that no military victory is possible in Iraq, closed-minded war hawks will never admit that the only true solution to this bloody mess is a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. O'Reilly stated the reason for this when he said, "Ancient tribal hatreds and terror-for-hire madmen rule the day. The United States military has performed magnificently. But no nation can impose order on a population that believes God requires them to murder people." The Iraqis will continue to fight no matter what we do. We have completed our task there.
Our people are dying in a mess that they did not make. America is suffering because our president will not admit that he was wrong about Iraq. The American people must rise up and stop this war now, no matter what Bush's subordinates say. The Iraqis made the mess. They need to clean it up.

Check math
The folks who publish the Caller-Times weather page need to take a basic mathematics class at one of our local colleges.
Percent of combined lake capacity can range from 0 percent (lakes are empty) to 100 percent (lakes are completely full). Combined lake capacity, by definition, cannot be 100.5 percent as stated in the Caller-Times. These erroneous percentages are very bad examples for our school children studying mathematics.
Edward Simons
(Choke Canyon Reservoir is considered "full" at an elevation of 220.5 feet. On Friday, Sept. 14, the reservoir was at 220.6 feet elevation and so was at 100.4 percent "full". Together, Choke and Lake Corpus Christi were at 100.5 percent "full." -- The Editor)
Solution needed
I entered the Naval Aviation Cadet V5 program during World War II. I was 17. I received my Navy wings here. I live here now because I fell in love with Corpus Christi when I came for flight training.
My five years of active duty took me throughout the Pacific, broadened my horizons and began a life-long love of flying and of world travel. I was able to earn two college degrees because of the G.I. Bill.
Since reaching 65, I receive Social Security, which escalates even faster than the cost of living. I have received far more than I ever paid in. My wife and I have had many tens of thousands of dollars of medical bills paid by Medicare, yet we pay relatively small premiums.
Our country has indeed been good to me during my 80 years on this earth.
Unfortunately, our government cannot afford everything I, and millions of others, receive. I'm willing to pay more, or receive less, but we can't just keep increasing our national debt. I pray that someday soon a national leader will have the courage and the ability to face this problem and work out a responsible solution.

Wasted space
You must receive many letters to the editor each day, more than you have room to print.
Why then, give valuable space in your Sunday paper to a ridiculous letter from Dale Stevens of Montgomery condemning Senator John Cornyn for frankly calling "disgusting" what MoveOn considers to be "free speech?"
I have found the people in this area, Democrats, Republicans and Independents, to be basically fair-minded, patriotic Americans. These are your readers; not the mindless minority who might be swayed by the irresponsible rantings of Moveon.org.
Marie Speer
Allow prosperity
During my work tenure, I was fortunate enough to have traveled the world numerous times. I have been from Corpus Christi to Australia, Far East, South Africa, Middle East, Europe, British Isles, Ireland, and North and South America.
There are world class seaside tourist resorts, not just in first world countries, but also in third world countries. Beaches are professionally maintained and have an abundance of nightlife and entertainment. Now let's compare Corpus Christi beaches. Seaweed is in abundance and never completely removed. The beaches have a dirty look with plastic bags and bottles strewn all over. There are horse droppings over five yards on the sand.
The disastrous rejection of the $1.5 billion projected tourist Mecca on the beach is an example of some elected officials' anti-business attitude. Because they are failing to promote the city and the island, they should have the moral decency to resign and allow this fair city and island of ours to prosper.
I have lived on the island for the past 28 years. Not much has changed in 28 years except for some extra homes and small strip malls. I'm fed up looking at prime property along the beach not producing revenue. We are being taxed to the hilt and getting nothing in return. Wake up Corpus Christi and join the rest of the world in celebrating an exciting life. We deserve better than what's been currently dished up.
John Doyle
Columnist missed
Well, you have convinced me. I must be a jinx.
If I go to the grocery and find an item I truly love and buy it several times, it's discontinued.
When I discover a particular brand of clothes that I really want, it is no longer available.
I do wood crafts. Sometimes I find a particular supply that works wonders for me, it no longer exists.
Now my very, very favorite Caller-Times columnist, Brooks Peterson, has retired. So sorry, Brooks, wish you all the luck, enjoyment etc., in your retirement. Hope all is well, and you are not retiring for health reasons, just because it's "that time." I really miss you.
If I may make a suggestion, have you given any thought to having a book published with your delightful columns? I know I would love a copy. Thank you for all the pleasure you have given.

No increase
Now if the city and utility department wish to make amends for the boil-, E-coli-, swimming-pool-water fiasco, they can eliminate the increases in rates noted at the bottom of the last statement rather than the paltry $2 refund, especially after receiving a separate mailing of a slick, fancy brochure about water quality only a month or so earlier.

3:19 praise and renown. See v. 20. The phrase goes back to Deut. 26:18, 19, where Israel as the Lord's special people is privileged to represent Him and be the tangible means whereby praise, honor, and glory are given to the Lord (cf. Is. 43:7; Jer. 13:11; 33:9). Paul sees the church in this role (Titus 2:14), as does Peter (1 Pet. 2:9–12).

Which blade for 10" tile/brick saw to use?
I've just got myself a 10" tile/brick saw to cut bricks for my oven. It came without the blade of course.
What brands of diamond tile saws are good enough to cut refractory bricks? Any hints on what brands to avoid?
hint on use
No help on the blade but when I borrowed my dad's setup to redo 2 bathroom's he gave me this nugget.
-Use lots of water
If the rpm of the saw starts to slow down then you are pushing the material through too fast.
-When I cut through some real hard ceramic I actually got orange sparks off the wheel/tile. Probably form- the glaze. So i slowed down and made sure the water system was on max.
If you ever rent a machine to cut up a concrete driveway they will charge you by how many thousandths or millionths you have used up on the blade. They will tell you to use lots of water.
Most local big box stores (Home Despot/Lowe's) will carry a couple of brands. If there are construction warehouses near-by they will also have blades. I found one that had platsering materials to beat the band of the HD/L when it came to price - they also sell in larger quantities, more economical
Diamond blades to consider
(M) A place to purchase blades cheaply is "Harbor Freight Tools". If you don't have one in your area you can go on-line and order from:
(M) I found a segmented 10" blade on-line there for only $19.99. Of course you need to consider the shipping cost but a blade is relatively light and that cost should not be excessive. If you want to see that segmented blade, which is for dry use but which can profit from added water, go to:
Here follows a Copy-Paste from Harbor Freight of that item:
10'' DRY CUT MASONRY BLADE http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/pho...3899/93878.gif
High performance blade with good cutting speed.
(M) Be sure that your arbor size corresponds to that offered by Harbor Freight; in this case 7/8".
Thanks for the tips.
The saw I have is from Harbour Freight, but I was not sure of the quality of the blades they sell. I will need an adapter for that dry cut saw since saw arbor is 5/8" not 7/8".
In case that somebody else is looking for 10" tile/brick saw, I waited for the opportune moment when they had it on sale for $199 and on top of that used the 20% off coupon they sent me via email :) I picked it up in the store as it is close by, no shipping just tax which is better for heavy items like this.
Use and toss?
I know there are different ways of approaching tools -- I think it reflects an inner part of your personality. I've worked with guys who have great quality tools and really take care of them.
Then there's me. I've been known to buy a low-cost Harbor Freight (just down the road from me) tool knowing that I am going to abuse it and kill it during a big job.
For diamond blades, I get the mainstream Home Depot brand. They seem to last pretty long, and they definitely work well (I've done slab granite with them). Sticking to my tool philosophy, I've never been tempted by the more expensive blades that are said to last 3 times longer. I've never used Harbor Freight's own brand blades, so no help there.
Segmented blade will splash more water
(M) I neglected to warn you that a dry cut blade to which you add water during use will splash considerably more water on the operator. There may be a compromise blade configuration called a Turbo Wet-Dry blade but I don't know if that configuration is available in a 10" size.
(M) To see what a small one looks like, click on the following URL:
I bought the harbor freight 10" tile saw and found it to be surprisingly well built... It easily handled both firebrick and common clay.
The harbor freight 10" continuous rim blade however didn't last more than a day and a half of cutting firebrick. I replaced it with the cheaper of two continuous rim models sold at home depot (they carry two-MK which is one of the standards in the tile industry, and another "house" brand which I don't remember the name of) It cost $34-ish and got me through the the construction of the chimney with plenty of life left for the future.
For reference you use a continuous rim blade for a wet saw; when cutting dry, segmented. There are many choices in each category and the range of prices. Some online sources are northerntools.com, amazon.com tools and Overstock.com Good luck.

There's a reason why the investment bank Goldman Sachs is called "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity" — it will do anything to make a quick buck. Goldman, though, has reached a new low in its craven pursuit of profits: targeting college students. The investment bank took over the for-profit college company Education Management Corporation (EDMC) and then forced them to take up exploitative and cravenly opportunistic practices to get students to take on debt, according to a new report by Huffington Post reporter Chris Kirkham.
For-profit colleges make money for every student that comes to their school. Goldman Sachs executives realized that they could make more money by shifting resources out of teaching and into recruitment. Kirkham reports: "After the deal closed and Goldman became a partner, employees soon noticed a drastic shift in culture. Longtime admissions managers were replaced, ushering in an era in which recruiters were endlessly hounded by supervisors about hitting weekly enrollment targets." The company culture started caring more about getting students into the classroom than educating them.
This aggressive recruitment especially became a problem because recruiters were told to "prey on poor and uneducated consumers" who would have to take on substantial debt to get a degree. Fueled by the debt that low-income students were taking on, EDMC (and by extension Goldman Sachs) tripled their revenues in less than five years, bringing in almost 3 billion dollars in 2011. Of that revenue, almost 90% came from federal student aid programs.
Given that for-profit colleges have the highest rate of student debt and that EDMC has the highest tuition rates among for-profit colleges, it's clear that Goldman Sachs is making profits by saddling poor students with a lifetime of debt. Thankfully, the Obama administration issued new sets of guidelines earlier this summer to prevent companies like Goldman Sachs from profiting from student debt, which should hopefully curb these predatory practices.
These reports, though, just underscore how unethical companies like Goldman Sachs are, and how necessary it is to protest them, much as Occupy Wall Street has done over recent weeks. The accompanying "We Are the 99%" movement speaks to this issue — Americans of all stripes are tired of the wealthiest in the country profiting while everyone else has to take on astounding debt just to stay afloat. It's time to stand up against the corporations like Goldman Sachs that make money off of others pain and loss.

Financial "aid" offices employ predatory liars who will say and do anything to trick students into taking on crushing debt. Predatory banks should be seized and liquidated - they create NOTHING but poverty, despair, inequality, misery, and worse for the vast majority of people. They make people who wanting nothing more sinister than an education into debt slaves, heartlessly & deliberately exploit innocent students. They are worse than pirates, worse than muggers, they are slavers - irremediably criminal. The 1% really are inhumane scum.
Thanks for the article.
Typical of todays money - grubbing financiers!
Cancel all student loans!
A student loan with no job, occupy Wall Street.....
We need to challenge brainwashed individuals like Steve, and sellouts like the Obama democrats, and expose the lies of the republican tea party. But eventually we need to start taking action against the takeover of our lives by the greedy economic forces.
I suggest we attend as many occupy wall streets as we can. Then we need to organze some concert compaigns. My favorite is www.getthemoneyout.com. Why? Because it is Goldman Sachs money that buys off politicians like Obama that allows Goldman Sach's to exploit us. We can organize a boycott of all students to stop attending college until usurist students loans are cancelled. We should then demand that the rich pay their fair share of taxes.
College fees should be much lower. We should not force our young people to be shackled to debt for an education.
Frank W. They are helping people get an education? At what expense? To become endentured slaves for the rest of their natural lives?
Jim G. no I can't see it that way. They are helping people get an education. How could that be wrong? If you don't want student loans, join the military or go to junior college until you can get a Co-op deal with a corporation or just pay as you go. Get good grades and earn a scholarship. Unfortunately not everyone can do that, so student loans are a good thing to help people get the education they would otherwise not get. Goldman Sachs is doing a good thing and should be applauded.
There are many issues around university education....but I will just comment on the debt/loan issue. There are other solutions: in UK, students have a grace period to repay debt.....that is they only start paying it back when they have a job that affords the repayment plan! And they help students find appropriate jobs.
But at this point in time, due to the banking/mortgage crisis, no one is safe any longer. Best is not to go into debt, but to learn skills that are employable now....save if you can for hopefully other opportunities later. This is sad, but the realities are tough now and no easy or timely solutions.

Somebody posted a thread like this on the Sun Deck. I do see positives.
Guys who did really poorly last year have been replaced. The main fifth starters had a 7 plus ERA. The centerfielder had a .238 OBP. The main catcher hit .217 with an OBP of .299. The replacements aren't necessarily all world beaters but should do better.
Cueto and Volquez have experience under their belts and the Reds now have four very good arms in the rotation with some good candidates for the fifth slot.
The team will have better all around speed with Taveras and Dickerson. Obviously, there is less power than last year but the speed will help defensively and maybe help to compensate a little on offense.
The bench should be better. Assuming Dickerson starts, the team will have Gomes, Kepp, Hairston, Hanigan, and one other guy on the bench. Probably a lefty hitter. Last year's bench wasn't as good.
More of the core will be young players. Votto, Bruce, Volquez, Cueto, Burton, Bray, Dickerson, Hanigan, all should get considerable playing time. EE, Owings, Massett, Ramirez (if he's on the roster) and Taveras are still young too. And, over the season, others will be getting ready at AAA -- Valaika, Bailey, Roenicke to name three.
Team should no longer lose as much against lefty pitching. Hernandez, Gomes, new righty bats with some power.
So there are some good things to watch for. Maybe you can think of others.

In Reply to: Seizure
: My JRT Luigi has been having what appears to be seizures once a month for the last year. My vet examined him and found no organ disfunction which leads us to believe it may be epilepsy. The seizures last for about 5 minutes and include him being very stiff, having a dazed look in his eye, and leg biting. Are there any alternative treatments besides phenobarbitol?
------------------ Response Area -------------------
My Tyson has no ill effect from this because I have the levels checked and he also has no liver problems. He is no 9 going on 10 and you would never know that he is Epileptic. How your dog reacts to the drug at first you may see some slow down, I did not and he has never slowed down.
PS sorry if there are any typo's or mistakes in this, but I am doing this one fingered because of a bum right wirst and can't use my right hand to type.

Good pozes
As soon as I figure out how to post photos on here from my digital cam I'm going start posting hand and body poses I find extrermly hard time find. Hopefully this can help some of you as well as myself.
If anyone could hook my up with that info
I don't see anywhere that I can link, or upload????
Until I can figure that out I guess this is the best I can do for now.

Personal Librarian FAQs
What is the Personal Librarian program? The Personal Librarian (PL) Program is designed to introduce students entering Walsh University to the collections and services of the Walsh University Brother Edmond Drouin Library. Upon matriculation, each freshman will be matched with a research librarian who can help with the transition to academic research and any questions about library collections, study spaces and/or staff.
Do I have to come see you? You do not for the Personal Librarian program, but you DO HAVE to visit as part of your GE 100/110 assignment.
How do I contact my PL? Click on your PL's name tab (above) and see what contact information is listed.
I forget who my PL is. Email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and we'll let you know!
How can my Personal Librarian help me?
Your PL will:
- Help you find your way around the library
- Keep you informed with periodic e-mail messages highlighting new resources and student oriented programs
- Remind you of important events, such as extended Library hours during Finals Week
- Answer your questions about Library policies, procedures and services, such as check out times and how to renew books
- Assist with finding information for your research assignments, by helping you articulate your research question, identify the best sources and formulate your search strategy
- Provide virtual support via chat, email etc. even when you are off campus
- Help you when you don't know where to start, or you can't think of what to do next
- Show you how to research for job interview
- If we don't know the answer, we'll try to find out who can address your question
Things we don't do (but we'll help you find out who can):
- Your assignments or research
- Write or proofread papers - the Academic Support Center 209 Farrell Hall provides excellent tutoring help

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) April 29, 2014
Since the first reported case of West Nile Virus in New York City in 1999 West Nile Virus has spread across America like an epidemic, and it seems there is no easy way to eradicate the disease. The best defense we have is an education. The key to eradicating the disease is not to prevent people from being stung, but rather prevent the mosquitoes from being born and becoming carriers of the disease in the first place.
Sprinkler Warehouse has teamed up with Texas based companies; CedarCide & SkeetOBusters to reach out to the public and inform them of how they can best protect their family from the dreaded virus, while at the same time helping to stop the spread of the virus all together. Cedar based products are taking the market by storm because of their new found effectiveness for eliminating pests of all types with relatively no side effects or dangers.
West Nile Virus comes and goes in surges, but it never ever really goes away, making it particularly dangerous. As the reported cases of infection swell and contract the population is lulled into a carnal security thinking that it could never happen to them- that they would never be infected resulting in carelessness and a casual attitude toward mosquito disease.
Looking back to the year 2013, a total of 2374 cases of West Nile Virus were reported with 114 deaths attributed to the disease (down significantly from 286 deaths in 2012) and in 2014, the West Nile Virus has a strong potential to exceed the 2013 numbers due to the mild winter. Nevertheless, there is no surefire way to know what kind of mosquito season we will have this year, but one thing we can be sure of is our level of preparedness.
Transmission of the virus occurs through mosquito bites. This leads people to believe that the primary defense we have against the spreading of disease is taking action to prevent mosquitoes from biting you, your kids and your pets or animals.
Naturally people automatically think of mosquito repellent sprays as the primary defense against mosquitoes. However, they are widely varied in their cost, features and functionality.
Perhaps the greatest protection against mosquito's bites is to wear long sleeve shirts and pants whenever possible in conjunction with a spray or repellent, because it's not possible for the mosquitoes to bite your skin through the material of your clothing.
Just like cell phones and power companies have peak hours, so do mosquitoes! If you know when these hours are, than you can more easily avoid them and keep them from ruining your outing! Mosquitoes come out in full forces most often around dusk and dawn times of the day. Plan your day to avoid too early of a start or staying too late and you will experience less mosquito attack.
April showers also bring standing water though, which brings forth new mosquitoes. Now is the time to spread the word about mosquito awareness and most specifically West Nile Virus awareness.Empty any stagnant and free standing collections of water. Simply dump them out and turn the vessel upside down or prop it up so that it will not refill with water.
For homeowners and small business owners that wish to take a proactive stance against mosquitoes and other insects in general there are a couple of suitable options.
CedarCide & SkeetOBuster products are available for purchase today from Sprinkler Warehouse. The staff at Sprinkler Warehouse will be happy to answer questions, educate and advise your viewers on the best ways to use Cedar based products to defend against mosquitoes and other common household pests.

Caleb and I are so excited to finally open our private studio, Electric Eye this spring! After searching long and hard for the perfect location, we finally found the perfect little space in the newly renovated Jefferson Towers retail area in Oak Cliff. Our historic building has some amazing neighbors, including Carnival Barker's Ice Cream, Small Brewpub, and Cultivar Coffee (soon). We've had quite a few permit and construction delays, but good things come to those who wait, right? We will be open SOON!
In the meantime, both Caleb and I can be reached at Saints and Sinners in Oak Cliff. Stay tuned for details, and see you soon!
