Six Words for Triablogue
In the near future, I may issue a more thorough rebuttal to some of Triablogue's recent and comically uninformed posts (e.g. "The Avalos Legend," "Au Chocolat," "The End of Hector Avalos," etc.), but here I will concentrate on the SIX so-called Egyptian loanwords that Dr. James K. Hoffmeier uses to deny that the Moses story in Exodus 2 could have been composed in the post-exilic era.
The six words (TEBATH, GOME', ZAPHETH, SUPH, HAYE'OR, and SAPHAH) are listed and discussed on pp. 138-140 of Dr. Hoffmeier's Israel in Egypt. These six words also will show how poorly Mr. Steve Hays reads scholarly materials, and how uncritically he reads Dr. Hoffmeier.
Let's begin with the claim Dr. Hoffmeier made about these six loanwords (Israel in Egypt, p. 140):
Furthermore, it seems unlikely that a scribe during the
late Judean monarchy or the exilic period (or later)
would have been familiar with these Egyptian terms.
If we use more precise dates for "the late Judean monarchy or the exilic period (or later)," then Dr. Hoffmeier is claiming that scribes would not be familiar with these words in the years ca. 600?-400 BCE (or later). I have a question mark at 600 BCE because Dr. Hoffmeier is ambiguous about the dates he assigns to the "late Judean monarchy."
If we can demonstrate that scribes are, or could be, familiar with these Egyptian loanwords during that time or later, then we cannot preclude the composition of the Moses story ca. 600-400BCE (or later).
In any case, I already have proven definitively that at least one of these words, GOME', occurs in Jewish Aramaic papyri dating to around 441 BCE. Apparently, Triablogue misses the implication of my falsification of Hoffmeier's claim because Mr. Hays declares (Au Cholocat):
Now Hoffmeier cited no fewer than six Egyptian
loanwords. For Avalos to question one out of six doesn't
get him where he needs to go. Avalos needs "actual evidence"
for the late occurrence of each and every loanword.
First, note that Hoffmeier does not claim precisely that these words don't OCCUR in later periods---that is Hays' interpretation of Hoffmeier's claim. Hoffmeier claims only that scribes (presumably Hebrew or Jewish ones) would not have been FAMILIAR with the Egyptian terms.
Note also how Hays evades the comprehensiveness of Dr. Hoffmeier's comments about these so-called Egyptian loanwords. Dr. Hoffmeier said "these Egyptian terms," and so that would include gome'.
In any case, Dr. Hoffmeier's statement is false. By using the phrase, "these Egyptian terms," Hoffmeier included all of the Egyptian loanwords in a set defined as "unlikely" to be familiar to scribes in the "late Judean monarchy or the exilic period (or later)." Therefore, finding one word in a late Judean or post-exilic text falsifies the statement about the entire set. Let's use more symbolic logic, so that Mr. Hays can understand it better:
-X states that elements A, B, C, D, E, and F are ALL in Set Y.
-Even if only A is not in Set Y, then the statement by X is false.
This would be no less erroneous than if I said that Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton were ALL presidents after 1970.
In the same way, Dr. Hoffmeier's statement is false. Dr. Hoffmeier should clarify, and say that "one of," "some of" or "most of" these words would not be familiar to the scribes of the late Judean monarcy or post-exilic period.
But, let's look at the words one-by-one and see if it is unlikely they would be familiar to scribes at the time Dr. Hoffmeier claims (ca. 600?-400 BCE or later).
1. TEBATH ("basket" in Exodus 2:3)
The fact that this word was understood by later scribes is evidenced by the Targum of Onkelos. This Aramaic translation uses the word TEBUTHAH, which is cognate with the Hebrew word. The Targum of Onkelos dates from early Christian times or later.
The Jews who translated the Septuagint used THIBIS or THEBE, which the translator expected readers to understand. Hoffmeier (Israel in Egypt, p. 205) dates the Septuagint to the third century BCE, and more precisely to the time of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (ca. 309-246 BCE).
Note that Hoffmeier (Israel in Egypt, 138) admits that the word survives into Egyptian Arabic, which is a relatively modern form of Arabic. Thus, knowledge of that word has not disappeared at all. Nor did people need to borrow it directly from Egyptian if it was being transmitted in other Semitic languages that eventually led to Arabic.
In this and the other cases, Hays seems to overlook the biggest problem of all for Hoffmeier's claim: the vocalized Masoretic Hebrew text is of Medieval date, and it preserved the earlier vocalization of the Egyptian (or at least the vocalizations given by Hoffmeier). So, why does Hoffmeier claim that scribes would not be familiar with the word after the exilic period when the word occurs in Medieval Hebrew manuscripts? What scribes copied those words into the Medieval era?
2. GOME' ("papyrus")
I have already shown (Unholy Moses) that this term was familiar to Jewish scribes at Elephantine from around 441 BCE.
3. ZAPHETH ("[bitumen] pitch").
Dr. Hoffmeier says this (Israel in Egypt, p. 139):
The word...appears only in Exodus 2:3 and Isaiah 34:9 in the
Hebrew Bible, and cognates are restricted to Syriac
and Arabic.
The operative phrase here is "in the Hebrew Bible," for surely Dr. Hoffmeier should know that this Hebrew word occurs in LATER Hebrew books OUTSIDE THE HEBREW BIBLE. Perhaps that is why Hoffmeier said "only in Exodus 2:3 and Isaiah 34:9 in the Hebrew Bible."
Indeed, the word occurs in the apocryphal work known as Ecclesiasticus or The Wisdom of Ben Sirach 13:1. More devastating to Dr. Hoffmeier's claim is that the word occurs in manuscripts of Sirach from the famous Cairo Geniza (a Geniza serves as storage for discarded manuscripts) from the Medieval period! This falsifies the claim that scribes would not be familiar with this word after the exilic period "or later."
For my Hebrew edition of Sirach, I use Herman L. Strack, Die Sprüche Jesus', des Sohnes Sirachs (Leipzig: A. Deichert'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1903), p. 14.
The fact that Sirach used this word is apparent to anyone that consults a simple Hebrew lexicon such as that of Koehler/Baumgartner. Mr. Hays simply does little basic homework.
4. SUPH ("reeds").
This word has been discussed and debated, and it is not clear that the word always means "reeds" or not. But more devastating to Dr. Hoffmeier's case is his reliance on William Ward ("The Semitic Bicosonantal Root SP and the Common Origin of Egyptian CWF and Hebrew SÛP: 'Marsh Plant,'" Vetus Testamentum 24, no. 3 [July, 1974]:339-349). Hoffmeier says (Israel in Egypt, 214):
If the word sup is related to the Egyptian twf(y)—and I think this is virtually certain in light of Ward's rigorous linguistic
investigation of the word...
But did Mr. Hays read Ward's study? Probably not. Ward's study makes it clear that the word in Hebrew IS NOT A BORROWING FROM EGYPTIAN. Rather, Ward shows that the Hebrew word was borrowed from Canaanite (Phoenician, more specifically). As Ward (p. 349) phrases it:
Finally, the Hebrew sûp would have been borrowed from Canaanite at a later time, after the shift from aw > ô > û had taken place in Phoenician.
Perhaps Dr. Hoffmeier's misleading phraseology ("sûp is related to Egyptian cwf(y)") led an amateur such as Hays to believe that "related to" means "borrowed from."
Dr. Hoffmeier should have said that Ward explicitly denies that Hebrew borrowed the word from the Egyptian language. Thus, SUPH does not belong in a list of "Egyptian loanwords." In fact, Ward shows that the Egyptian word was also borrowed from Canaanite.
But, even if SUPH were an Egyptian loanword in Exodus 2:3ff, it can be demonstrated that scribes after 400 BCE did know this word. The evidence comes from the Septuagint, the Greek translation(s) of the Bible. The Septuagint translators rendered SUPH as papyros ("papyrus reed") in Isaiah 19:6. The Septuagint uses HELOS ("marsh") in Exodus 2:3, which also shows that they knew what the word meant.
In other words, the Jewish scribes translated SUPH pretty much as Dr. Hoffmeier says it should be. So how could the Jewish scribes of the third century BCE translate this term correctly if, as Dr. Hoffmeier claims, it was unlikely that a scribe working later than the exilic period "would have been familiar with these Egyptian terms"?
5. HAYE'OR ('the river")
If one looks at Hoffmeier's own discussion (p. 139), one learns that the Hebrew word (YE'OR) for Nile survives as IOR in Coptic, a language whose beginnings are usually dated to the second century BCE.
But note that this Coptic word, IOR, does not have the –t-that was found earlier in that Egyptian word. Therefore, the Coptic IOR is closer to the way the Hebrew spells it (ye'or---also' without the earlier –t-). So while the word without the –t- may be as early as the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, the Coptic texts demonstrate that the word without the –t- could be known to later writers (Coptic uses a Greek-adapted alphabet).
Note that the word without a –t- was used in Akkadian (ia'uru) and so it does not preclude its use in an Akkadian story.
As usual, Hays is not a sufficiently good linguist to notice things like these, and so he just happily regurgitates what Dr. Hoffmeier tells him.
Dr. Hoffmeier clearly is hyperbolizing about the value of this word for dating Exodus before the late Judean monarchy. First, and as Hoffmeier himself admits, this is a well-known SEMITIC word (NOT an Egyptian loanword). Note Hoffmeier's statement (Israel in Egypt, 139): "it was part of the inherited Semitic stratum of the Egyptian language."
Hays should have noticed this because Hoffmeier says it in plain English that saphah is Semitic. Thus, there is no need for Egyptians to loan this word to the Hebrews, as it could have been transmitted through the Semitic family of languages. The word does not belong in a list of "Egyptian" loanwords or "elements."
Dr. Hoffmeier tries to tie the expression SEPHAT HA-YE'OR ("edge of the river") specifically to an Egyptian context, but the fact is that the same expression (construct of SAPHAH + YE'OR) occurs in Daniel 12:5, which is set in a MESOPOTAMIAN CONTEXT.
One would think that Mr. Hays would at least check his Bible every once in a while.
Of the six so-called Egyptian loanwords or "elements," two are no such thing. SUPH is probably borrowed from Canaanite (Phoenician) and SAHPAH is a Semitic word. More importantly, we have shown that ALL these words were known to scribes after the exilic period (or later). At least two can be used in a Mesopotamian context even in the Bible. More importantly, this research demonstrates that we cannot preclude composition of a Moses story in the exilic or post-exilic period.
Mr. Steve Hays shows again that he does not possess the linguistic equipment to evaluate much of ANYTHING Dr. Hoffmeier or other scholars tell him about such issues. More importantly, Mr. Hays shows that he cannot even read what is said to him in plain English by Dr. Hoffmeier (as in the case of SAPHAH). He does not bother to check the basic biblical resources that reveal some of the weaknesses in scholars he trusts. I welcome either Mr. Hays or Dr. Hoffmeier to refute my evidence.
NOTE: Throughout my essay I use rough approximations of the vocalizations and orthography of Semitic and Egyptian words because my computer program does not have the capability to insert the proper diacritics.

MASSENA - Even cooler than the new game console or the latest technology gadget is the simple air conditioner during summer weeks like the one just past when temperatures soaring into the 90s and high humidity.
With most people flying to the nearest big department store to snag the sweat-reducing appliance, many small businesses not typically thought of for air conditioners are stocking up on the popular purchase.
John D. Schneider, director of Marketing for Triple A Building Center in Massena, has certainly noticed a recent increase in air conditioner sales.
We dont necessarily sell a lot of appliances and stuff like that, so not really a lot of people think of us first for air conditioners. But we do keep them on hand because summer comes around every year and we did notice this last week that theyre selling very quickly and the ones that we have on hand are moving, Mr. Schneider said.
Meanwhile in Canton, Coakleys Ace Hardware owner Bill Coakley said that his store locations have found their air conditioner supply low of late due to increased need, but the stores will be re-stocking soon. Mr. Coakley is the owner of store locations in Canton and Saranac Lake.
We have I think a very limited amount. We have another order coming in on Monday. We get two trucks coming in a week with air conditioners, and they come in pretty much year round. It varies, but weve probably gone through 50 air conditioners in the last 10 days, Mr. Coakley said.
With the hottest days of summer possibly still ahead, more customers may be in need of the units and Triple A Building Center is always staying prepared for the possibility of another surge in this items retail.
We plan a lot of those kinds of things far in advance to make sure that we have them. So in the past if theres a big heat wave out west or something like that a lot of the air conditioners are snapped up by the time they get out here. So we try to make sure we have some on hand ahead of time, or at least have them ordered so that theyre here for summer, Mr. Schneider said. It depends on the summer, but were ordering more for sure.
For Coakleys Ace Hardware, air conditioners are usually even available during the not as scorching hot days in the St. Lawrence County community.
We have a seasonal offering and people dont traditionally buy air conditioners until the heat actually hits or until their unit fails. Air conditioners, de-humidifiers, and fans have been popular lately, Mr. Coakley said.

While the fuel source has changed, some people's feelings about the proposal to build a power plant near Sigurd have not.
People were given an opportunity to voice their opinions about the proposal during a recent public hearing.Changing the type of the fuel the plant uses also changes the size of the plant, making it much smaller, said Rod Clark, principal for Nevco Energy, the company behind the proposal.
"The coal plant would cover 100 acres," Clark said. He said the gas plant's footprint would be eight acres. For comparison, Clark said Temple Square in Salt Lake City is 10 acres.
Clark addressed some of the concerns raised by people at the meeting. One was a claim that the plant would only have two round the clock jobs. Clark said this is a misleading piece of information, and that the plant would have 25 to 30 full-time employees.
Clark said many of the construction jobs will likely be hired out to local firms, as it costs less to have local people work on a project than it does to bring them to an area to do the work. He said more specialized areas of construction would likely require outside contractors to do the work.
The plant would be a combined cycle design, which utilizes three turbines to generate electricity. The first two turbines burn fuel to spin, while the exhaust and heat from them is used to spin the third turbine.
There were several people who spoke at the hearing to let the Sevier County Commission know their concerns.
"The footprint will still be enormous," said Cindy Roberts, Sigurd resident. She said the county should insist on the highest level of design. Her husband, Mike Roberts, a Sigurd Town Council member, said he was concerned about the flooding.
"I'm not opposed to the natural gas plant, just the location," said Doug Wood, a county resident.
Dick Cumiskey, president of the group Sevier County Citizens for Clean Air and Water, gave a list of conditions his group would like included in any gas power plant permit issued by the county.
"This PUD [planned unit development] is a unique overlay on an agricultural zone," Cumiskey said. He said this is the justification the commission needs when asking for additional conditions for the plant. He said other applicants haven't asked for an overlay, which makes the Nevco project unique in how it is approached.
Cumiskey also said the county should look at other power plant permits issued in the country and use them as models for the Nevco proposal. The SCCCAW proposals included requiring high efficiency reverse osmosis for more effective use of water, restrictions on the facility's evaporation ponds and liners, pond water monitoring, decibel levels and lumen levels for lighting.
Cumiskey also said the exhaust from the gas plant would increase pollution levels by 17 percent. He said the company could pay for upgrading county vehicles and facilities to offset the pollution. Cumiskey's group stressed that the site for the gas plant be disallowed from ever building a coal plant.
Another request from SCCCAW was for Nevco to pay for a health insurance policy for everyone in the county who doesn't have medical insurance who develops a respiratory illness after the plant opens.

Leaders of European Union nations met for a two-day summit in Brussels on February 7, in an attempt to reach a seven-year spending agreement. Representatives from the EU states failed to reach an agreement at their last budget summit in November.
BBC News reported that U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron (shown) made a statement that he will not accept any budget agreement that does not include further spending cuts, saying that the figures being proposed "need to come down. And if they don't... there won't be a deal."
A report from Bloomberg today provided figures for Prime Minister Cameron's proposed seven-year package, which seeks cuts of 973 billion euros ($1.3 trillion). The report noted, "The blueprint was trimmed once, from 1.047 trillion euros in November, and is below the 994 billion euros spent in the budget period expiring this year."
Bloomberg also noted that the budget negotiations pitted the more prosperous countries of northern Europe, which seek budget cuts, against the poorer southern and eastern European nations that do not want to see their subsidies reduced. French President François Hollande was seen as somewhere in the middle and as one who does not oppose budget cuts — so long as they don't come from the farming budget, which benefits France disproportionately.
"I realize the need to economize, but we don't want to weaken the economy," Hollande was quoted by Bloomberg's James G. Neuger on the way into the summit. "It's possible to have an accord. If some aren't being reasonable, I'll try to reason with them, but only up to a certain point."
Neuger wrote that any agreement reached at the summit will require the approval of the European Parliament, which gained greater powers over spending in a 2009 overhaul of EU treaties.

Jeweler plans to close 10 stores
EUGENE, Ore. - Harry Ritchie's Jewelers plans to close 10 stores, including the Roseburg store, and lay off 44 employees, including 4 employees at the corporate office in Eugene.
Spokesman Jason Davis told KVAL News the cuts would take effect Dec. 31, 2012, as part of a strategic restructuring to adapt to the current retail climate.
He said the stores slated for closure have been underperforming for some time.
The move is not a bankruptcy, he said. A hotline will be set up to handle customer concerns.
In addition to the 4 employees in Eugene, stores in Roseburg and Medford and at Salem's Lancaster Mall will close.
The company plans to close stores in College Place, Spokane, Bellingham, Olympia and Kelso in Washington, as well as Yuba City and Eureka in California.

PAWTUCKET — Following an investigation by the Pawtucket Police Special Squad, a man alleged to have been dealing heroin in the Pawtucket area was taken into custody Tuesday on Broadway.
The suspect was identified as Yatniel S. Padilla, 30, of Benefit Street, Pawtucket. According to Pawtucket Police, Padilla had been under surveillance by the Special Squad following reports of suspicious activity. He was arrested after officers pulled him over in his car.
Padilla was charged with four counts of delivery of heroin, operating on a suspended license, obstruction of a police officer (providing a false name), and a District Court warrant. Police also learned that he had re-entered the United States illegally and a detainer was placed on him by ICE.
Police said that at the time of Padilla's arrest, he had $1,570 in cash in his possession. This currency was seized and forfeiture proceedings have begun to surrender the money in accordance with Rhode Island law.
On Wednesday, Padilla was brought before District Court in Providence for arraignment. He was held without bail.
Heroin addiction is not only a damaging and painful experience for the individual addicted to the drug, but also the people in their lives, including family, friends, and loved ones. The heroin drug rehab process can be an extremely unpleasant experience for the addicted individual as well. The bottom line is that heroin is one of the most powerfully addictive drugs in the world today, and the rehab and recovery processes can take years.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Christmas and New Years have always been generally regarded as happy and joyous times of the year. And for many they are.
However, there is another side to these holidays, in fact any holiday, when people put into context things that have happened to them on past such occasions.
As kids most of us get really excited about Christmas. As we get older our happiness changes from what Santa will put under the tree for us to a more adult approach of regarding the holiday as a time to regard others with kindness and to be with family. It seems material things in of themselves become less important to us, although its always nice to get a present or two.
But for some young people and certainly for older ones too, these holidays bring great sadness. Just like being broke and without money seems worse when living in a place of great affluence, having pain and sorrow about past negative events tied to the holidays seems even greater when people around you are happy and joyous.
As one gets older, because of that passage of time, it seems one has more of a chance to tie unhappy events to holidays. We make fun of this situation in various ways in our society, particularly in stories and movies. We see people who disregard or discount the holiday as the scrooge; the miserable person down the street who lives alone and never puts up a Christmas tree; the guy who works all the time and never has time for his friends or family; the narcissist who is so caught up in what they are doing that they don't care about anyone else; and the list goes on.
For people like these, though, there is a reason they are the way they are. Some of it could have come from an unhappy childhood, but often something or a series of things has turned them against the spirit of the season. Bad experiences, accidents, mean people and the death of loved in the past close to the holidays can often make people hate this time of year.
If you really look at it, however, rather than ridiculing people that are like this, or making fun of them, they should be the reason we take up the banner of joy of the season and hand it off to them as much as we can. Christmas is obviously a Christian holiday, and for those that hold values that coincide with that spirit of forgiveness and love, these kinds of people are the ones we ought to work toward helping.
Yes, many of them don't see that joy; many may even be resentful of the efforts that others make to include them into the celebration. But all one can do is offer the friendship and the love of the season.
None of us can do anything about how someone else feels or how they look at things. That is up to them. But what we can do is put the best face on the season that we can. We can be good and sharing, helpful and caring, joyous and happy. We can offer what we have to give.
And what more of a present can anyone ask from each of us than that?

National BBQ Day is this weekend!
Yup, this Saturday, August 7th is National BBQ Day, and the national, youth-led charity Meal Exchange is inviting Canadians to take part in the yummy day while also fighting hunger in Canada.
What's the ask? It's simple:
Register & host your own backyard BBQ for friends, family and neighbors to raise awareness about Canada's hunger problems.
Meal Exchange believes that everyone in Canada should have access to sufficient, nutritious, and culturally acceptable food in order to maintain a healthy & active life. Did you know that 2.7 million Canadians don't know where their next meal is coming from?
How to participate (and a change to win 2 WestJet tickets!):
- Register your BBQ at http://nationalbbqday.eventbrite.com/ and send Meal Exchange a photo of your BBQ'ing fun to firstname.lastname@example.com

Registration is FREE, but here's some food for thought: it takes only $28 for Meal Exchange to empower one youth to take action against hunger in their community. Donate here to help Meal Exchange support youth across Canada.
So this pretty much sounds like the perfect day to me – BBQ, a case of Rickard's beer (taster's pack – Red, White and Dark of course) and raising awareness about hunger.
Will you be participating? Have a BBQ/grilling recipe worthy of National BBQ Day!

The Seeley Fire in western Carbon and Emery counties was 87 percent contained Wednesday, and the ground and helicopter assault on the 74-square-mile blaze continued to taper off.
The Eastern Arizona Incident Management team was still at a little more than 400 fire fighters who continued to work at containment lines and mop-up activities.
Cost of fighting the fire since June 26 reached $7.4 million. That number will go higher by Sunday's expected full containment.
Now that the smoke has cleared, however, long-term costs that will be felt for years to come are apparent. The U.S. Forest Service on Wednesday issued a closure order for the portions of its territory burned by the fire. The map on page 2A show the closure area, along with roads and trails that will remain closed until further notice.
A burned-out forest is still a dangerous place. Falling trees, flash floods and debris flows are likely to be threats for some time.
Campgrounds and other facilities affected include:
Big Rock Group Campground
Bridges Campground
Chute Group Campground
Forks of Huntington Campground
Horse Canyon Trailhead and Campground
Old Folks Flat Campground
South Hughes Campground
Stuart Guard Station Interpretive Site
National Forest System Roads included:

Super Alpine Jacket (Women's)
In Stock Product Number: 26901
Wind howls, spindrift blasts and cornices loom across ridges. Up or down? Those who endure big mountains—whether ski mountaineering or alpine climbing—know that bomber protection is as crucial as decision-making. The newly refined Super Alpine Jacket protects against the worst possible weather with the best available waterproof/breathable and windproof fabrics. It features a lighter, yet still durable 3-layer nylon new generation GORE-TEX Pro fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and key-area reinforcements, and a redesigned technical fit with a slimmer torso and longer hem. The two harness-compatible handwarmer pockets have an improved single-pleat design that lets you see your feet but also allows the pockets to expand without bulky seams. Trim, watertight zippers for the pockets and pit zips are laminated in place to reduce weight and bulk; a small internal zippered chest pocket stows small valuables. The underarm gussets keep the jacket in place when you lift your arms, and the Gasket Dry Cuffs still seal out the elements at the wrists but are now far more streamlined. Our reengineered, adjustable and helmet-compatible Optimal Visibility Hood has a laminated visor and the sleek Touch Point System embedded cord locks (in the hood and hem) have been improved for easier adjustment without opening the jacket.
* This product does not qualify for shipping to all countries.
- Updated with two lighter, fine-deniered new generation GORE-TEX Pro fabrics, with the same trusted levels of uncompromised, durable waterproofness and a wide range of breathability
- Redesigned technical fit has a slimmer torso and longer hem length that is less bulky and stays put under a harness
- Reengineered Optimal Visibility Hood with laminated visor provides exceptional coverage and visibility, but now allows total range of unrestricted motion
- Touch Point System with embedded cord locks in hood and hem for quick-and-easy adjustment
- Gusseted underarm panels reduce lift when reaching overhead and have minimal pit-zips for venting
- Two high single-pleat pockets with watertight, coated Slim Zips increase capacity without added seams; interior zip pocket
- Re-engineered Pleated Gasket Dry Cuffs with Tapered Tab design provide a secure low-profile wrist seal
- Shell: 3-layer, 3.2-oz 40-denier 100% nylon GORE-TEX Pro fabric. Reinforcements: 3-layer, 3.7-oz 40-denier 100% nylon ripstop GORE-TEX Pro fabric. Shell and reinforcements have a DWR (durable water repellent) finish

Most skirt patterns include a vent, but the patterns don't call for a lining (isn't that obnoxious on the part of the Big 4 patterns? Obviously, if the pattern suggests wool, it must be lined in most cases.) If you've never lined a skirt with a vent before, it does take some mental work to figure out how to do it.
My skirt was different from the tutorial's model - the Burda Jenny - as McCall's 3830 does not have a waistband. These are the slightly different steps I took to construct the skirt:
- I inserted the invisible zipper into the fashion fabric.
- Attached the fashion fabric and lining at the waistband.
- Finished the bottom of the vent from the inside.
A commentor indicated that her skirt pulled once the lining was attached at the waist; I recalled that Eugenia countered this by adding "wearing ease" to her vented skirt's lining, so I drafted my skirt's lining this way as well. As Eugenia noted, it doesn't make the inside very pretty, but I don't have unsightly pulling issues when I walk.
As you can see, it was difficult to get the puzzle piece part of the lining to ease in, so that part doesn't look very pretty either, and the edge is pulling up a bit. Hopefully I can perfect that in future versions.
I'm so pleased with how this skirt turned out. I've started taking more time and care on my projects - serging the fashion fabric, pinking lining edges, sewing all possible seams in the same direction - and the results have been more satisfying to me.
I'm suddenly in a skirt mood, so I have a few in the immediate queue. Though I ordered a vintage dress pattern, and it's calling my name, too. There just aren't enough hours in the day!

Nemadji Pottery Collectors?
I venture to thrift stores 2-3 days a week. There are dozens of thrift stores in this area. Lately I've noticed this attractive pottery with strange swirls and unglazed and decided to buy a piece. Took it home and did a little research and found this is a decent buy. Previously I knew nothing about Nemadji Pottery. But now really like it and will continue looking for it when going to the thrift stores. Found a new avenue in collecting pottery. I'm happy.
And interestingly, no 2 pieces are the same due to the clay and firing process.
Not sure of the age of this piece as there doesn't seem to be a variety of marks to determine age.
Anyone know how to determine age on Nemadji Pottery?
Anyone else collect Nemadji Pottery?

Wow that is lovely and I had never heard about it before until you posted it here. So thank you. Apparently with these pieces, the outside is left plain (unglazed) while the inside is always glazed. The swirls you see are actually the colors in the natural clay from which these pieces are made, so no two will ever be the same. Click here for an article which tells more about this newly discovered collectible and what makes it so special.

In March 2006, officials with Fellows Energy announced that the company had partnered with MBA Resources Corp. of Canada to purchase wells in the Gordon Creek area about 13 miles west of Price.
The option to purchase these wells dates back to an offer in January 2004, when the company acquired the purchasing option for 5,242 acres.
The project targets gas located in the Ferron Sandstone and the Emery coal bed.
According to state records, the wells produced 1.7 billion cubic feet of gas in a year. Estimates for the gas field reserves extend as high as 20 billion cubic feet.
Early indications in the Emery coal bed indicate that it may be as productive as the Drunkards Wash Field, located some six miles south of the Fellows acquisition.
Drunkards Wash reports an average of four billion cubic feet of gas production per month, and has topped the list of gas production sites in the state.
Local officials and others with economic interests in the county have expressed concern, however, because the production levels at Drunkards Wash are likely to drop as the field reaches its peak production levels.
Once the levels at Drunkards Wash decline, finding a site with similar output has shown to be a high priority.
At present, there appear to be at least two such sites. One is the Gordon Creek area, the other is near Nine Mile Canyon, where the Bill Barrett Corporation discovered reserves estimated between 500 billion and a trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
The Gordon Creek wells, unlike the fields near Nine Mile Canyon, already have a history of production. Many wells already dot the area and increasing the number of wells in the western part of the county is likely to be easier than near Nine Mile.
For starters, gas roads already reach many points of drunkards wash and Questar Gas has existing pipelines that can be used for gas collection across the fields in Gordon Creek. Nine Mile Canyon, however, is more primitive in nture, lacking roads and pipelines.
Due to its pristine nature, various groups and individuals have expressed concerns relating to gas exploration and production in and around Nine Mile Canyon. Those concerns range from environmental protections, to wildlife concerns and protection of archaeological history in the area.
With those barriers in place, activities in the Nine Mile region have moved forward, but under scrutiny from special interest groups and national and state media.
However, work in Gordon Creek has moved forward with little opposition and has stayed almost unknown to media outlets.
In addition, the possible increases in production levels across the county have created optimism by the various gas producers with interests near the Gordon Creek site. The result is that multiple companies are looking at options that could increase production in the region. While some companies are planning to increase the total number of wells, Fellows announced that it will augment that approach with the workover of the existing wells.
After the purchase of the gas field the company, the company created a budget of $215,000 for the reworking of the first two wells in the field. In addition to operating wells, the gas field also includes a series of shut-in, non-producing wells. By breathing new life into the existing wells, Fellows and MBA plan to increase production at the site. The first two wells for reworking included one of each type of well.
In preparation to binging in a drilling rig to perform a workover on the well, water disposal, pumping and operating parameters were reconfigured. After completing the well workover, Fellows and MBA announced that it had seen an initial increase of up to 10 times the previous production levels. After monitoring the well site for the first few weeks, production looks to have dropped, though the levels are still three to five times the previous levels.
"Work is progressing smoothly and substantially as planned, and we are pleased with the increase in production potential that we have established," said George Young, president of Fellows.
After reconfiguring a third well, production levels increased at the site by more than 50 percent.
In 2005, Sproule & Associates of Denver, Colo., released the results of an evaluation into the field purchased by Fellows. As part of the evaluation, it was determined that the up to 20 additional wells could by placed on the site.

A United States appellate court has rendered a ruling in a case filed by the United Mine Workers of America involving the currently defunct Castle Gate coal preparation plant.
The ruling resolved a dispute about the years of employment workers should have been given at the prep plant when a combination of Amax Coal Company and Cyprus Plateau Mining owned the facility.
The decision from the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reaffirms a 2000 jury verdict issued against Amax Coal.
The jury found that Amax breached its contract with UMWA when the company sold the Castle Gate facility in 1996 without requiring purchaser Cyprus Plateau to honor successorship rights for union miners working at the plant.
Amax claimed that, because the plant was closed for seven years before it was sold, the operation was not covered by the successorship clause.
The UMWA contended that, during the period in question, Amax had kept workers maintaining the prep plant. The union also argued that , at the time of the purchase, Cyprus Plateau was planning the plant's reactivation.
"This victory has been years in coming. But it finally has come and the UMWA could not be happier for the Castle Gate prep plant workers," said union president Cecil Roberts. "They were wronged, and they deserve to be compensated for that wrong. This is also a great victory for the UMWA because it validates our strong belief that the workers' contractual successorship rights were ignored when Castle Gate was sold. "
Several weeks after the July 2000 trial, a major mine explosion caused the plant to permanently close.
In January 2002, the court entered its judgment order in the amount of nearly $1.5 million, representing the lost wages and benefits the members would have earned in the approximately four-and-a-half years they were not working from the time the plant was re-opened until it finally closed in 2000.
In October, 2002, the companies appealed the case to the Tenth Circuit. After a period of briefing and oral argument, the Appellate Court finally upheld the breach of contract award against Amax on December 30, 2004. Even though Amax declared bankruptcy, RAG American Coal Co took responsibility for the litigation when it acquired Cyprus-Amax Coal Company vefor the bankruptcy was ever filed. That responsibility also included making good on the damages award.
"This has been a long process but in the end the court proved us right," said Mike Dalpiaz of the UMWA in Price. "Interest has been acrruing on this money since the 2000 decision, but the situation will be mitigated out."
Dalpiaz said after all the years the union and the workers feel vindicated by the final decision.
"It was just odd that the explosion and the closure of the mine took place before the jobs could be put in place," he stated.
While union membership had fallen in recent years, Dalpiaz says that recently membership has started to grow, because some workers are realizing they can't fight situations like the one just settled alone, and that changes in the economy and laws are beyond individuals control.
"We will continued to fight to establish fair wages and benefits for working people," he concluded.

The Orioles, have been scouting Abreu for more than a year and are intrigued by his "monster power," writes Roch Kubatko. He adds that the Orioles don't typically enter into bidding wars for international players like the one that is sure to break out over Abreu, but the O's continue to discuss him internally. Baltimore has had some smaller scale success on the Cuban front recently, as they've signed outfielders Dariel Alvarez and Henry Urrutia in the past year. Urrutia, for what it's worth, recently told MLB.com that he is one of Abreu's best friends from childhood, and the two talk regularly.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/08/r ... abreu.html
Maybe the Orioles are thinking about trading Chris Davis after all. If not, I'm not sure I want to enter a dollar war for a DH who may or may not hit a big league fastball. I'd like an extensive scouting report on him.

Here's how RW members rated this race (91 votes).
In short: Perfect for FLM training, good race that gives you a sense of achievement and feel good factor when completed. In full: Good Race. Facilities were excellent and made pre and post race preparation / wind down a lot easier. Rolling start worked ok for me, it was tough to pass in some places but not impossible. Water stations were well spaced and the cadets were great but definitely need more mile markers so that you can pace yourself, the 1st one I saw was at 9 miles! I had to use the water stationes as guides as I had read that they were approx every 5k. Also find energy drinks as well as water at some races which is a real bonus. Jaffa cakes at the end was a real treat though. Would prefer medal to trinket and def should state the mileage achieved. Thanks that all that were involved on the day.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Tough race but well organised & great atmosphereDate of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Challenging course, hampered by dodgy surface of pathways.In full: Good rolling start, a little boring on the out and back sections along the A20 (a bit mind numbing)overtaking was a bit awkward along the narrow paths. However once the hill was climbed great scenery and enjoyable. Cadets were great but I felt there could have been more water. Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Well organised, different distance, hill not as hard as I thought.In full: Good organisation, well marshalled but could probably do with a cuople more. Cadets at drinks stations were brilliant. Chip timing was great no pressure on starting at front of pack although was some difficulty in over taking or being overtaken. Views were great on top of the downs but it was a bit depressing on the A20.Many thanks to my adopted running partner for the day got me around quicker thans expected, great confidence boost for FLM. Goody bag left a bit to be desired but facilities befoere and after were tremendous.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: A big turnout for the first running of what may become a very popular event.In full: A sparsely but adequately marshalled course with the one serious climb being countered by a rapid drop back down to the A20. Good spacing between the watering stations. Little advice at start regarding the starting procedure led to the vast majority of the field starting within 5 minutes of the early start time, and the other runners having a very lonely first 6 miles. Slower runners being advised to start early would not have helped, as there are long stretches of footpath where overtaking was quite difficultDate of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Big thanks to everyone involved. Great first time event.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: One killer hillIn full: Well organised run, good distance and timing for use as training for the London Marathon. A few narrow paths but the staggered start helped ensure that it wasn't too crowded. Friendly marshals and conducive start with changing facilities in the Ramada Hotel with start line less than 30 metres from entry to Hotel (this meant little to no travel from parking). Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Tough but fair course, friendly atmosphereDate of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Good organisation, a must before FLMIn full: Long flat/undulating stretch of endless busy, noisy road(A20 pathway) set you up well mentally for FLM,challenging hill and quiet roads were a nice change to the monotony and good training before descending again to the same long busy road. Friendly, serious runners, nice marshalls and lovely cadets. Simple. Just run it.Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Excellent Race. Well organised. Well doneIn full: This race was great fun. I turned up with the idea that this was a "training run". And loved it. Perfect warm up for the FLM. Route was scenic (in some parts) and challenging (one particular hill was TOUGH)! And I agree, did wonders for my mental toughness! Cadets were brilliant and marshalls were great. I didn't have any problems with the narrow pathways, although I am sure some people did. Brilliant way to fit in a training run - somewhere new. Even managed to finish quicker than expected! Would do again. Thanks.Date of review: March 23, 2009

Cold water can be deadly on warm weekend
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- This weekend could be the warmest Oregon residents have felt this year, with temperatures expected to reach the 80s throughout the Wilamette Valley. But, while the air will be warm experts are warning that local waters will be dangerously cold.
Lane County Search and Rescue has already responded to boating accidents this spring; two that happened over the past week.
Doug Caven, a river guide for the McKenzie told KVAL News that in spite of the warm temperatures, the rivers around the northwest hover at around 40 degrees.
"As soon as you hit the water the first thing you do is gasp, if you gasp and you get a mouthful of water, often times you panic. If you panic, then you're really in a lot of trouble," Caven said.
As a safety consultant, Caven has a few things he recommends to anyone getting in the water before an aquatic adventure.
"Anyone under the age of 14 years or younger has to be wearing a life jacket no matter what kind of boat they're in, whether it's a raft an inner tube, a drift boat, they have to have personal floatation," said Caven.
While personal floatation was first on the list, Caven added these other safety essentials:
- Boaters should also make sure you have enough fuel
- Always tell people on shore where you're going
- Check out the route you'll take
- Be off the water by dark
Caven said the slowest part of the river is often the most dangerous because people relax and don't pay attention to hazards in the water.
He added that there is no excuse not to wear a life jacket in the McKenzie, because anyone can check one out for free at the stores or resorts along the river.

SEATTLE, Wash. -- With the state's recent snow melt and few warm days so far this year, Wade Alonzo with Washington State Parks said the temperature of local rivers and lakes is still in the low 40s.
Most people will find these temperatures too cold for swimming, but Alonzo said he is concerned about people who unexpectedly end up in the water.
"If [boaters] capsize or they somehow fall overboard, they can be in trouble if they're not prepared for the conditions," Alonzo said.
Once a person is submerged in water that cold their body immediately goes into shock, said Elizabeth Bennett, a drowning prevention expert at Seattle Children's Hospital.
"You take an involuntary gasp of air, and if you're submerged you're breathing in water," she said.
Alonzo said the body starts to pull blood away from the limbs into the core after a few minutes, making it difficult to move.
"If you're not wearing a life jacket going in, it's going to be difficult to get one on once you're in the water," Alonzo said.
Tony Gomez, chair of Seattle-King County Drowning Prevention Coalition, was a life guard at Lake Sammamish and Snoqualmie River where he rescued swimmers who fell into cold water.
"As soon as they hit the water, they were in trouble," Gomez said. "They were decent swimmers in a pool, but put them in cold water and they could only do a few strokes before they would get tired, start to panic and go under."
If a person is in cold water for at least a minute hypothermia can set in, leading to permanent disability or death.
This is especially concerning for children, who often have a higher metabolism and can lose body heat faster said Dr. Mark Lo from the Seattle Children's Emergency Medical Department.
"When they come out of the water get them warm and dry as soon as possible," Lo said. "If they start to hallucinate or feel sleepy then they need to be seen by a medical professional quickly."
Alonzo said consuming alcohol can also threaten boaters' safety, especially since its affects are exaggerated in the sun and on the water. When a person is intoxicated they can also feel warmer than they actually are.
"Alcohol is going to impair your judgment, so you might not be making the best decisions of where to go, when to go," Alonzo said.
Despite the risks, Alonzo said residents shouldn't avoid boats or beaches this weekend. Instead he says they should be prepared to end up in the water. He recommended boaters always wear a life jacket, stay in a group with others who can help them out of the water, and pack extra dry clothes.
"We want people to get out on the water, but we want to do it safely," Alonzo said. "Get a life jacket you like that fits well and wear it."
Bennett said parents wearing their own life jackets can set a good example for their kids and help them be ready to rescue them at any moment.
"You need to be in arm's length of your child at all times," Bennett said. "A number of children who drown just wander away, and all of the sudden they're out of sight. Be right there with no distractions."
Alonzo said it is also important to make sure your boating activity is appropriate to your skill level.
The State Department of Health advises anyone planning a river activity to always check river levels and conditions before leaving home. Runoff from mountain snow and rain can create high, fast-moving water that can carry debris and increase drowning risks.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
Despite advancing to the quarterfinals of the 3A State Tournament, the Carbon High Dinos Baseball were left to return home wondering to themselves, "What if?"
What if they were able to hold a 4-3 lead to win against Spanish Fork? What if the weather didn't create havoc by moving their game against Delta to Spanish Fork High School on short notice? What if a few more breaks went in favor of the Dinos?
All of those questions will likely linger in the minds of the players after suffering two tough losses, including an 8-4 loss to Spanish Fork on Thursday afternoon and a 7-2 loss to Delta on Friday.
After enduring two close losses in the regular season, the Carbon High Dinos baseball team was hoping the third meeting with Spanish Fork would be the charm with a win and a ticket to the 3A semifinals.
However Spanish Fork had other ideas. The Dons used a five-run fifth inning to retake the lead from the Dinos on their way to an 8-4 victory in the 3A quarterfinal matchup.
In their two previous games, Carbon hung tough with Spanish Fork before falling victim to late game heroics from a seasoned and veteran Dons roster.
Spanish Fork put pressure on the Dinos in the bottom of the first inning as Carbon High pitcher Dakota Cisneros allowed the first two batters to reach base. Kayden Porter, the leader in home runs across all levels, hit the first pitch he saw from Cisneros sending it high over the left field fence for a quick 3-0 lead.
Despite the shaky start and some nail biting moments that followed, Cisneros held the Dons scoreless over the next three innings.
The Carbon High offense finally broke through in the third inning against Spanish Fork starter Hayden Nielsen. Dylan Vogrinec and Kris Murdoch led off the inning with back-to-back singles and two batters later Julian Tamllos reached base on a single. Jaren McCourt followed with a blast over the right centerfield wall to give the Dinos a 4-3 lead.
However the lead wouldn't last. Porter led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a double for Spanish Fork that started the five-run rally which was aided by a hit batter and a dropped fly ball by Seth Tryon that allowed more runs to cross the plate.
Nielsen finished off the complete game victory for the Dons.
Because of the inclement, the Carbon/Delta game was moved to Spanish Fork High School. Despite playing a close game, Delta broke through for two runs in the third and fifth innings for a 4-0 lead. The Dinos would get on the scoreboard with two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth inning. But Delta put a dent in a possible comeback with three more runs in the top of the seventh inning which was too much for the Dinos to overcome resulting in a 7-2 loss.
Carbon ended the season with an overall record of 15-10.

NORFOLK - The Norwood-Norfolk Drama Club will be staging a musical within a musical this weekend.
But unlike the actual musical, the one within the production isnt going well.
Just Another High School Music is about a group of high school actors who find themselves on their own after being abandoned by their drama teacher with no rehearsals - and the curtain about to rise.
We just wing it. Its our crazy adventure, said junior Emily Johnson, who plays the role of assistant director in the show. Its just really funny. I like it a lot.
Its a pretty wild play. Its a pretty good comedy, senior Kyle Weems added.
This is Ms. Johnsons fourth musical at the school, including last years production of Lagoon.
I love it. I love performing, she said, noting shes considering theater as a minor in college.
I get to sing a lot. I like to sing, she said.
This years role, she said, is the biggest one Ive ever had. Im in almost every scene.
Rehearsals began in January and, while she has plenty of lines to learn, its actually pretty easy, Ms. Johnson said.
Since rehearsals began, she said the cast has gotten closer to each other. Theyve been rehearsing from 5 to 10 p.m. this week as the days wind down to the production.
Were just a big family, she said.
Speaking a couple of days before the curtains rise for the firs time, Ms. Johnson said she felt the cast was set.
I think were ready. We just have a few little quirks, she said.
Mr. Weems will be in his first-ever spring production. He has been a multi-sport athlete participating in football, baseball, basketball and track.
I took a sneak peek last year when they were performing for the kids. It made me want to join, he said. I consider myself an outgoing kid. I find myself to be pretty funny. Some day I think it would be really cool to be in movies. You have to start somewhere and see if you can act.
He plays several roles, including a male thespian, Scrooge and male Meg.
I took several different characters. Im in almost every scene, Mr. Weems said.
The hardest parts for him, he said, were memorizing the different songs and the choreography, but he has adapted.
Im happy with it, he said.
Its been a new, but fun experience for the senior who has been accepted at University of Albany where he plans to study criminal justice. Applying for college consumed some of his outside classroom time this year.
Its been a pretty good time, a lot of laughs. Its like a big family. There were lots of kids I didnt know too well before, Mr. Weems said. Im now less stressed because Ive been accepted at University of Albany. At first it was pretty tough.
The best part, he said, is making people laugh. I like to see people smile. I feel if I can bring laughter to them, its a little bit added to their day. Senior Shaelyn Chartrand plays the stage manager, somebody who has to keep other people on task.
But, under the circumstances, the character gets stressed, she said.
Ms. Chartrand has been in four musicals, starting in ninth grade with Anything Goes.
For me its been a lot harder (this year). Its the first time Ive been cast as a larger role. A lot of people are cast for three or four parts, she said.
Its definitely bigger than my other roles, but its a lot of fun. Im more into my character. I definitely enjoy it, she said.
Rehearsing has allowed Ms. Chartrand and others to form a bond. For some students, its their first time on the stage.
Its a lot of fun bonding with the cast. This year we have a lot of newer kids, she said.
Arianna Colbert, a junior, is appearing in her second production. She became involved after watching her sister, now a graduate, perform in one of the productions.
First I watched her ,and I joined last year, she said.
Like some other cast members, she plays multiple roles, including Scrooges ghost.
This year is definitely different. The cast is different. There are a lot of younger kids in the play this year, she said.
One of the difficult parts, Ms. Colbert said, was learning the Christmas Carol Rap.
Its not singing. You have to rap. The challenge is learning the rap. If the other two people dont say their lines, you dont know when to come in, she said.
Ms. Colbert said cast members get a rush when theyre finally able to perform in front of a live audience like theyll do Friday and Saturday.
You dont know how the audience is going to react. Sometimes you have to hold your line (to wait for their reaction), she said.
Doors for Just Another High School Musical open at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Advance tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults. Tickets at the door are $6 for students and $8 for adults. There is a family rate of $22.
