Perfect Sportsmanship
Baseball experiences one of its greatest moments.
If Major League Baseball ever gets a Hall of Shame, umpire Jim Joyce's blown call on Wednesday night will earn him a spot somewhere between Bill Buckner and Fred Merkle (or maybe just below them, depending on how many Red Sox fans are involved in the rankings). And yet, in the aftermath of Joyce's Imperfect Call, Joyce and pitcher Armando Galarraga, whose perfect game Joyce ruined, have turned an outrageously bad call into one of baseball's finest moments.
You probably know the story by now. Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was one out away from pitching only the 21st perfect game in major league history when Cleveland Indians batter Jason Donald smacked a grounder between first and second. Detroit's first baseman fielded it and threw to Galarraga, who had moved to cover first. Joyce, the first base umpire, called Donald safe, though replays show Galarraga clearly beating him to the bag. Oops? You might say that.
Within hours someone had already created the website FireJimJoyce.com. Ah, the mob speaketh.
Thank the designers of modern ballparks that this incident didn't wind up with Joyce carried out of Comerica Park and tossed into the Detroit River. When Merkle infamously walked away from second base in 1908, Giants fans stormed the field. Legend has it that a fan wrested the game ball from Cubs second baseman Johnny Evers and threw it into the crowd to keep Evers from tagging Merkle out. In 1990, seven people were killed in riots in Detroit after the Pistons won the NBA championship. Things have gotten better in Detroit since then, but still, worry lingers.
But by the next game, even Detroit fans seemed to have forgiven Joyce. How could they not? Immediately after plucking immortality from Galarraga's grasp, Joyce admitted his mistake. What's more, he personally apologized to Galarraga. "I just cost that kid a perfect game," he later told the media.
"I," he said. As an umpire, Joyce is in the position of ultimate authority on a baseball diamond. What he says goes. He can toss a player or a manager, and his rulings, right or wrong, can determine the outcome of the game. He has the power of on-field life or death. He is the King, he can use the royal "we" and hide behind his authority. "I" made a mistake, he said. Our government could learn a thing or two from Jim Joyce.
Jim Joyce's professional character was defined by that blown call. Sure, he messed up, but the question is: why? "I thought he beat the throw," he said. "I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay." A lesser man would've called the runner out no matter what. Whether out of empathy for a pitcher who was so close to perfection or from a desire to avoid the inevitable hatred that would follow, a lesser man would simply have said "out!" even if he believed in his heart the runner was safe. Joyce called it as he saw it, knowing full well the consequences.
He then made the decision to face those consequences in the most direct way. He had the option of not calling the next day's game in Detroit. But he said that if he didn't, he couldn't live with himself. He stepped onto that field knowing that thousands of Detroit fans had two of the three necessary prerequisites for murder -- motive and will -- and he was the most hated man in all of Michigan.
But Joyce didn't get booed. He got applauded. "When I walked out of that tunnel, and I got the reception that I did from the Tiger fans, I, ah, I had to wipe the eyes. It shows me a lot of class, you know…. The sportsmanship has been just unbelievable on everybody's part."
The displays of first-rate sportsmanship began with Galarraga the moment he lost his perfect game. There was no tantrum, no shouting, not even a scowl. He… smiled. He smiled as if to say, "Eh, that's life."
After the game, he said this about Joyce to Fox Sports Detroit:
He really feel bad. He probably feel more bad than me. Nobody's perfect, everybody's human. I understand. I give a lot of credit to the guy saying, "Hey, I need to talk to you because I really say I'm sorry." That don't happen. You don't see an umpire after the game say "I'm sorry."
Forgiveness? From a professional athlete? To an umpire? We don't even forgive the clerk at Starbucks for putting too much milk in our lattes! Where's the sense of entitlement, the rage, the desire to make one's self look bigger by humiliating the other guy? That attitude might infuse much of professional sports -- much of humanity these days, for that matter -- but it doesn't motivate Armando Galarraga.
How is this not one of baseball's most beautiful moments? Yes, it should have been a perfect game officially as well as in fact. But the little cloud Jim Joyce conjured over first base on Wednesday night was lined with this silver: It gave us one of baseball's greatest displays of sportsmanship.
The tender and graceful performances by Joyce and Galarraga in the day following the blown call were powerful enough to change hate into respect. Thursday evening, the last post on FireJimJoyce.com was this:
You know, after hearing all the talk from both the pitcher and umpire Jim Joyce today, I have only one thought: They are both classier than I am.

In a distant world there lived a race of humanoid cats called Cattis. They lived peacefully under the leadership of Leo a strong and wise Cattis. Until one day the mutant rodents attacked.

Adventures of Leo is a platform game where you use the arrow keys to navigate Leo and perform an jump. The CTRL key is used for a spin attack. You can kill the enemies by either jumping on the or using the spining attack, but be careful some enemies are immune to the jump or the spin attack and some can not be destroyed at all and you have to avoid them. You cannot use the spin attack while walking. The game has also touch screen controls.
There is now an offline demo available under the files section.
Posted by fildubek on May 21st, 2013
The demo of the game is the first part of the game and contains the first eight levels of the game. These eight levels are divided into two stages.

Re: Operations dilemmaOUHATEME Aug 22, 2014 11:36 AM (in response to Oze05)
what you are describing is when the game first came out on how the operations worked,,, since then they have changed it and now all operations are unlocked and you don't need to purchase any of them.
hope this helps.
Re: Operations dilemmaOze05 Aug 22, 2014 1:39 PM (in response to OUHATEME)
Hello Ouhateme,
thanks for your reply.
So how then do I go about tracking my progress?
It tells me to click A (Xbox) to track my progress, but when I try to make my choices, nothing happens and nothing is being tracked, so I must be missing something or not doing something correctly.
Is there a place that explains the process how it is now rather than how it was when the game first came out?
Re: Operations dilemmanicedrewishfela Aug 22, 2014 1:42 PM (in response to Oze05)
The Challenges are a mess in this game.
You really just kind of click on each section and look through, it shows you progress for each challenge.
Re: Operations dilemmaOze05 Aug 22, 2014 2:06 PM (in response to nicedrewishfela)
I agree with the mess statement, but of all the ones listed, none are being tracked and no progress is shown. They are all at 0 of xxx, even the ones I tried to track, basic ones like get x number of kills with a specific weapon.
Re: Operations dilemmaOUHATEME Aug 23, 2014 4:25 AM (in response to Oze05)
for the operations and challenges you need to be playing in public lobbies,,,, squads and private matches will not count towards operations....
Re: Operations dilemmaOze05 Aug 23, 2014 11:56 AM (in response to OUHATEME)
Yup, that was it, thanks for your help.

Teacher transmits her love of subject
Published: Sunday, January 29, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.

To The Editor: Reference: Katie Winkler's column about Blue Ridge Community College achievement.
BRCC history instructor Patricia Furnish was awarded her doctorate in the study of American Indian history.
Ms. Furnish's obvious hard work to achieve this prestigious goal is no surprise to her avid students.
Many young students enter Ms. Furnish's various literature classes without a clue about America's proud history.
We are so fortunate to encounter a bright, enthusiastic instructor who not only loves her subject, but additionally has a unique teaching method which draws students into her amazing world.
Our whole community grows brighter because of the fantastic work of Patricia Furnish.

text: release paper is fine but you need to keep it clean. I use parchment paper (under a sheet of mat board) in sheets which is dirt cheap and can be tossed if it gets dirty or wrinkled. I also do not own a tacking iron. I just never got around to buying one but the regular iron I use works pretty well, just a little large for the task. I use shot bags for weight on top of something flat, Having a piece (or two) of 3/4"mdf to put on top of the mounted print is handy too since it will remain pretty flat over time. It's also the heaviest thing around. 3/4" gator board works well too if you have enough weights.

Grand Mosque of Copenhagen
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (February 2009)
The Grand Mosque of Copenhagen is a mosque built in 2014 which is be the first purpose-built mosque in Denmark and one of the largest in Europe.[1][2]
The Tabah Foundation, an Islamic consultancy firm based in United Arab Emirates, is planning to fund a mosque planned by Jan Wenzel and Lars Tuxen. This mosque is expected to cost 427 million euro.[1] The mosque has no minarets and is shaped like a crescent moon. It will serve 3,000 worshipers and feature a multi-cultural center and student housing.[1]
The mosque is planned to be built in Ørestad, Copenhagen.[1] The city is willing to agree to the mosque, but will only allow one of the plans.[3]
On June 2007, several Copenhagen imams participated in a Hizb ut-Tahrir convention. The imams explained that they would like to work on common projects, such as the Grand Mosque, with Hizb ut-Tahrir or any good-willing partner.[4]

This was a very interesting trip. Leaving from Orange County at 6:45am, we did a max range charge at Tejon ranch SC (262 rated miles) and arrived in Three Rivers (just outside of the park; via 99 to 65 to 198) with 148 rated miles left and 114 actual miles traveled. In other words, our rated range perfectly matched miles travelled (148+114=262). This was done by traveling ~60-65mph on average.
As we had a 6750 foot climb to get to Giant Forest without access to charging, we decided to try and get some extra electrons at a local RV park with 50amp service (Kaweah RV park) . This is where it became interesting. When I asked the owner if I could charge at one of his 50amp sites, he looked at the car and that at me and gave me a flat out 'NO'. I then said I would be more than happy to pay for the site; which he said is $43. He then asked how many hours I would occupy the site and whether I would be gone by 5pm. I said that we only needed a couple of hours and would undoubtedly be gone long before 5pm. He thought about it some more, the said follow me. He took us to a site, turned on the 50amp service and then after we started charging, I gave him a grand tour of the car. He was fascinated and left us to charge for free saying 'thanks for being green'. Several other RV people came over to ask about the car and all were utterly floored by the car. Clearly, Tesla is far from common knowledge in the interior of California.
We left with 212 rated miles and arrived in Giant forest with 140 rated miles, having travelled ~25 real miles. Boy, the climb really ate the miles. Amazingly, after we spent ~2hrs hiking and enjoying the Giant Sequoia's, we arrived back at the car and had gained 5 miles to 145 rated miles. The temperature had dropped considerably and I think this is how we got miles back, but i am not sure. We then travelled to Morro Rock, hiked to the top for incredible views at sunset (we were the only ones at the top, very serene). We then travelled back down to Three rivers, arriving with 158 rated miles after traveling total of ~50 real miles there and back with a 6750 elevation gain. In other words, despite the large elevation changes, we only lost the equivalent of ~4 rated miles. WOW, WHAT A CAR.
We then drove on to Tejon Ranch SC without any additional charging, arriving with 38 rated miles (could have been more but I started to go ~75mph when it was clear we would make without a problem). It was ~10pm and as the only MS there, charged at 280mph. We ate some food and then left for home, arriving ~1am in Orange County.
@mdemetri - great story... very interesting. I have done that trip in an ICE many times before and I can't wait to do it in the MS. Central Valley needs help in terms of EV - thanks to spread the word.
Looking at the Supercharger map, Tesla has no plans at all for a Supercharger on the west side of the mountains in the Central Valley. This might be a case where chipping in to install a HPWC or 70 amp J1772 somewhere there would make sense.
Yes, the Western slope of the Sierra Nevada needs charging infrastructure badly.
Amazingly, at the park entrance, I asked the Park Ranger if there was any EV charging in the park and he told me that was the first time anyone had asked him that question. In other words, he had no idea and the thought had never crossed his mind.
This indicates to me that there still needs to be major education of the National Park Service. You would think that they would be highly motivated to encourage EV's, install solar etc.
Maybe a petition or letter writing campaign to head of the National Park service might get some where. SC would be great, but even Level II charging at the major resorts would be a major help.

BlackRock Inc., Banco Santander SA and more than 10 private-equity firms are forming groups to bid for Citigroup Inc.'s U.S. consumer-lending unit, people with knowledge of the matter said.
BlackRock, the world's biggest money manager, and private-equity firms KKR & Co. and Warburg Pincus LLC are considering a joint bid for the unit and are in talks to include Santander, Spain's biggest bank, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private. Their team is one of at least four competing for the business, which has about $13 billion of assets, the people said.
Citigroup Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit, 54, put the Baltimore-based lender on the auction block this year, part of a program to shed more than two dozen units and simplify the organization after the bank's $45 billion U.S. bailout. In December, New York-based Citigroup announced plans to change the unit's name to OneMain Financial from CitiFinancial.
Robert Willumstad, 65, Citigroup's former president, is leading another bidding team through his Brysam Global Partners, the people said. That group includes Blackstone Group LP, Carlyle Group, Thomas H. Lee Partners LP and WL Ross & Co.
Private-equity firms Apollo Management LP and J.C. Flowers & Co. also are working on a joint bid, the people said. Apollo is already in the mortgage business -- a key part of the OneMain portfolio -- through its 2008 investment in Vantium Capital, which buys residential mortgage assets.
Book Value
Another bidding group includes Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC and Toronto-based Onex Corp., the people said. The membership of each group may change as the bidding proceeds, the people said.
Spokesmen for Citigroup, BlackRock and Santander declined to comment. Spokesmen for the private-equity firms either declined to comment or didn't respond to messages seeking comment.
"If we are involved in this, it would be on behalf of clients, not for our balance sheet," BlackRock Chief Executive Officer Laurence Fink, 58, said today in an interview on "Inside Track" on Bloomberg Television.
Citigroup is seeking bids that value the $13 billion of assets at least at book value, the people said. Net of liabilities, the unit has about $2 billion of book value, they said. Most of the liabilities won't be included in the sale, the people said. A bidding deadline is set for next week.
'Life's Emergencies'
The unit, which traces its roots to the founding in 1912 of Commercial Credit, lends "money for life's emergencies," including car repairs, medical bills and debt-consolidation, according to its website. Customers have difficulty getting credit elsewhere, Pandit said during a July conference call.
"It's a business that we continue to like," he said at the time. "It may not fit in our ongoing strategy but it's certainly extremely valuable to somebody."
Last year, bailed-out insurer American International Group Inc. sold a similar consumer-lending business with $19.6 billion of assets, American General Finance Inc., to Fortress Investment Group LLC. Also in 2010, Wells Fargo & Co. closed its consumer-lending operation.

DineEquity Inc.
) recently announced that it has struck a deal with Apple Franchise
Capital, LLC to sell 33 company-owned Applebee's restaurants in
Missouri and Indiana for about $26 million. The company intends to
reduce its financial obligations and shift toward a franchise-based
model through this deal. The transaction is expected to close in
the third quarter of 2012.
Moreover, on the first day of this month, the company also
announced the sale of 39 company-operated Applebee's restaurants in
Virginia and expects to clinch this deal also in the third quarter
of 2012.
During the first quarter, DineEquity completed the sale of 17
company-operated Applebee's restaurants located in a six-state
market around Tennessee, consistent with the company's strategy of
becoming highly franchised.
Following the footsteps of other noted restaurant companies in
the U.S., DineEquity is also shifting its focus toward franchised
operations from company-owned restaurants as a de-risking strategy,
given that expansion through franchising is less capital intensive
and income is fixed in the form of fee.
DineEquity acquired Applebee's International in November 2007 in
a $2 billion leveraged buyout. Since then, the company has sold a
total of 342 Applebee's company-operated restaurants.
The sale of company-owned Applebee's restaurants has reduced the
debt burden of the company considerably by the use of free cash
flow. As of March 31, 2012, the company's long-term debt
liability was $1,338.0 million compared with $1,411.4 million as of
December 31, 2011. During the quarter, the company reduced its
total debt burden by $85.9 million.
At the end of the first quarter, more than 95% of DineEquity's
Applebee's and IHOP restaurants were franchised. Upon completion of
the pending sale, this percentage will rise to 97%. Although
DineEquity's transition to a more franchise-based model will
decrease company-owned revenues, this will enhance free cash flow
generation by reducing capital employed.
For fiscal 2012, Applebee's franchise plans to open 30 to 40
restaurants, half of which are expected to open in the U.S.
With more than 3,500 Applebee's and IHOP restaurants combined,
DineEquity is the largest full-service restaurant company in the
world with brands leading in their respective categories of casual
and family dining.
DineEquity's primary competitors are
Brinker International Inc.
) and
Denny's Corporation

I have an HP Pavilion DV 9500 and recently the display has shifted about an inch or 2 down and to the right so the bottom and right side of the display are off the screen and are no longer visible.
In the past when this would happen, I would just restart my computer and it would start up normally. Now it seems that there's nothing that I can do to correct the problem and it's been about a week since I've had a normal looking screen.
I've tried a bunch of different things and nothing seems to work...any help would be much appreciated.

"It took me a long time to decide on invitations and once I had seen these they were a must have. They turned out gorgeous. I loved how I got to proof everything to make sure that it was exactly how I wanted. The foil is the perfect touch to these invitations. They definitely leave a last impression. I am more than happy with how everything turned out."
"I ordered these to put in with my Save the Dates so that people can start booking hotel rooms and receive other information about our wedding. They customized it to add "hotel accommodations" after "for more wedding details" and before "and registry information." We also customized it to add a line below the website for our website's password, and even made it in 2 different fonts ("PASSWORD" in the same font as the "for more wedding details" font, and "our password" in the same font as the wedding website but in a size smaller and not in caps). They worked all the sizing/spacing out and it ended up looking amazing!!!"
"I was thrilled when these invitations arrived. I did tons if personalization so I wasn't sure how it would turn it. It turned out perfectly! Couldn't be happier. I was surprised how much I loved the paper. It's a textured one which is the standard with the purchase. I added a picture to this review to show off the invitations"
"I used these cards to give guest hotel accommodation information. Everything was completely customizable and matched perfectly to my invites and RSVP cards. The card size is about the same as the RSVP card but in portrait (not landscape)... it's the perfect accompaniment to the invitation suite!"
"I ordered this card with hotel information for my guests. I had forgotten to order it with my invitation order, so I went back in on Wednesday night to order, and I had them by Saturday with express delivery. It was wonderful to have them so quickly. I didn't have to delay sending out the invites with such a quick turnaround time."

The Administration Kowtows
Are the Chinese people alone now?
Mar 16, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 25 • By ETHAN GUTMANN
Over the last three weeks, the Obama administration has sent three clear signals to the Chinese leadership.
First came the news that Chas Freeman would chair the National Intelligence Council. The former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and an adviser to CNOOC (the state-owned Chinese oil company), Freeman clearly fits the Chinese Communist party's idea of a four-year plan for American intelligence oversight. Just note Freeman's curious 2006 statement about the Tiananmen massacre. It is unacceptable "for any country to allow the heart of its national capital to be occupied by dissidents intent on disrupting the normal functions of government, however appealing to foreigners their propaganda may be." That particular trope was originally laid down by Henry Kissinger, and it's considered safe for public use. Freeman, though, took the argument to its logical conclusion, condemning the "ill-conceived restraint" and "overly cautious behavior" of the party leadership.
I thus share the hope of the majority in China that no Chinese government will repeat the mistakes of Zhao Ziyang's dilatory tactics of appeasement in dealing with domestic protesters in China.
It's not hard to predict what line the intelligence community will take on China's military buildup (or another Tiananmen) under Freeman's leadership.
The Chinese will score their number two victory with Gary Locke, former governor of Washington, becoming our new commerce secretary. Locke's been a very--very!--good Friend of China: making public displays of affection for the party's brilliant stewardship, carrying a torch for China in the Beijing Olympics relay, and easily straddling his public and private interests to make a deal. Locke has paraded his guanxi--his connections--and, indeed, his numerous meetings with Hu Jintao are real. As are the campaign funds he got in the 1990s through Buddhist temple fundraisers, Chinese cut-outs, and confessed felon John Huang. This may have knocked Locke out of contention for a spot on the Gore 2000 ticket, but apparently it was of little interest to Obama's third-time-lucky vetting staff in 2009.
To complete the hat trick, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a seemingly offhand comment on the eve of her recent trip to Beijing. Discussion of Taiwan, Tibet, and human rights would be "on the agenda," she said. But "We pretty much know what they are going to say." Some commentators have labored to present those words as refreshingly plainspoken. Bringing up human rights to the Chinese government is just an empty ritual the argument goes, and America has larger interests at the moment--China's purchase of treasury bonds, a "partnership" on green technologies--which speak to a much broader, "global" definition of human rights.
But rituals, and the spirit in which they are carried out, matter very much to the Chinese leadership. Chinese citizens, particularly those who dissent, pay close attention as well. Even if Clinton has tired of Chinese human rights (in the old-fashioned definition, where people are tortured to death and so on), the act of unilaterally agreeing to ignore an actual source of tension between our two societies represents a notable change in U.S. policy. The repercussions will extend far into Taiwan, China, and America.
Taiwan, in particular, faces trouble. China's internal crisis of collapsing exports and exploding unemployment would squelch any tendency toward foreign adventurism in most societies. But the Chinese government remains perfectly willing to go to war if they can unify the population and extend the party's control. Its objectives are clear. It wants to prevent Taiwan from being becoming the locus of the Chinese diaspora's resistance. The Chinese reward Taiwanese single-party rule with economic favors to prevent any onset of the democracy cancer when Taiwan is absorbed into the Chinese bloodstream. The current Taiwanese leadership is playing into the scenario by expanding economic contacts, attempting to wring the last Renminbi from the mainland, while intently working over their discredited opposition party to the last man.
As the first viable Chinese democracy in history drifts into genuine peril, it cannot rely on the U.S. president who appears to dislike even using the D-word and needs Chinese cash for his own internal adventurism. The Chinese have an estimated $2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves.

Sending Away Foreign Wives
1While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling facedown #Ezr 9:3Neh 1:4Dn 9:3-4 before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered around him. The people also wept bitterly. #Ezr 3:12-13 2Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, #Ezr 10:26 an Elamite, responded to Ezra: "We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the surrounding peoples, #Ezr 9:1-2|NoBook| 10:18Neh 13:23-28 but there is still hope for Israel in spite of this. 3Let us therefore make a covenant before our God #2Ch 34:31 to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. #Ezr 9:4 Let it be done according to the law. 4Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, #Ezr 7:25-26 and we support you. Be strong and take action! " #Jos 1:6-9
5Then Ezra got up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said; so they took the oath. #Neh 10:29-30|NoBook| 13:25 6Ezra then went from the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib, where he spent the night. # 1 Esdras 9:2, Syr; MT, Vg read he went He did not eat food or drink water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles. #Dt 9:18-19
7They circulated a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should gather at Jerusalem. 8Whoever did not come within three days would forfeit all his possessions, # Lit would set apart all his possessions for destruction according to the decision of the leaders and elders, and would be excluded #Ezr 7:26 from the assembly of the exiles.
9So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem within the three days. On the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square at the house of God, #Neh 8:1 trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain. 10Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful by marrying foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. #Ezr 9:1-2Neh 13:23-27 11Therefore, make a confession to Yahweh the God of your fathers and do His will. Separate yourselves from the surrounding peoples and your foreign wives."
12Then all the assembly responded with a loud voice: "Yes, we will do as you say! 13But there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We don't have the stamina to stay out in the open. This isn't something that can be done in a day or two, for we have rebelled terribly in this matter. 14Let our leaders represent the entire assembly. Then let all those in our towns who have married foreign women come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of each town, in order to avert the fierce anger of our God #2Ch 29:10|NoBook| 30:8 concerning # Some Hb mss, LXX, Vg; other Hb mss read until this matter." 15Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, with Meshullam #Ezr 8:16 and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.
16The exiles did what had been proposed. Ezra the priest selected men # 1 Esdras 9:16, Syr; MT, Vg read priest and men were selected who were family leaders, all identified by name, to represent # Lit name, for their ancestral houses. They convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter, 17and by the first day of the first month they had dealt with all the men who had married foreign women.
Those Married to Foreign Wives
18The following were found to have married foreign women from the descendants of the priests:
from the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah. 19They pledged # Lit gave their hand to send their wives away, and being guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt; #Lv 5:14–6:7
20Hanani and Zebadiah from Immer's #1Ch 24:14 descendants;
21Maaseiah, Elijah, Shemaiah, Jehiel, and Uzziah from Harim's #1Ch 24:8 descendants;
22Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah from Pashhur's #1Ch 9:12 descendants.
23The Levites: #Ezr 2:40
Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (that is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
24The singers: #Ezr 2:41
The gatekeepers: #Ezr 2:42
Shallum, Telem, and Uri.

33Hashum's descendants: #Ezr 2:19 Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei;
34Bani's descendants: #Ezr 2:10 Maadai, Amram, Uel, 35Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluhi, 36Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 37Mattaniah, Mattenai, Jaasu, 38Bani, Binnui, Shimei, 39Shelemiah, Nathan, Adaiah, 40Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 41Azarel, Shelemiah, Shemariah, 42Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph;
43Nebo's descendants: #Ezr 2:29 Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, Joel, and Benaiah.
44All of these #Ezr 10:18-43 had married foreign women, and some of the wives had given birth to children. #Neh 13:24

I've read a lot about cyclocross bikes but I'm still not certain what actually makes a cross-bike. The one thing I've seen a lot is the ability to accept wider tires. But at what point does a road bike become a cross bike?
I've also seen a lot of people use them as commuters. I'm assuming this is because they can handle dirt and pavement equally well?

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie and a novice. I haven't sewn a dress in 25ish years! (and I didn't know a lot back then either).
Anyway, I took on the challenge of sewing an "easy" petite dress. So far so good. I love the front and the length. Only problem is that once I inserted the invisible zipper in the back, I have this huge "bloop" from the waist up. All in all, I think I made the waist too tight (it gathers). But, I'm not sure how I should fix this. I'm inclined to trim the length off the upper back torso. I wish I could post a pic.
The pattern is an old Very Easy Vogue. 7802 - bought it on EBay. It's basically 6 pieces: Top front & skirt. 2 piece top back and 2 piece skirt back. Again, I wish I could post a pic.
Any ideas?
If I understand you correctly, it might be a sway back issue. Is there a sort of horizontal bloop? across the lower back?
If it were me, I'd put it on inside out. Pin out the excess fabric until it sits flat & then sew along the pinned lines (of course you might need to remove the zipper). Is the extra fabric low enough that you could just have a larger seam allowance on the bodice where it connects to the skirt to fix it?
Pics would help.

Thanks. I will try to take a pic in a few days.
Actually, the "bloop" is vertical. It starts just below the bra-line all the way down to the waist (which is snug). In other words, I think the waist may be pulling up higher, hence the bloop. The zipper looks smooth, so it's not the actual way the zipper went in. I think it's just the fit, and I just need to figure out how to make it fit me!
I don't understand how to post a pic? It looks like you can only insert a website? I"ll try to figure it out and post back in a few days.
Thank you for your input.
If it's vertical, can you take double-ended darts (like a diamond)? Otherwise, it sounds like you need to take it apart at the waist and pull down the extra fabric. You can upload your photos to Flickr or Picasa (both free) and then link to them.
How to post a picture
Here is the Pattern Review link on how to post a picture. Good luck!
Can you let out the side seams at the waist area? That would allow the zipper to relax and hopefully lay flat.
It sounds like the back waist is too long for you...very common for petites. Deesews suggestion of undoing the waist and removing the extra fabric above the waist is probably the best solution however since you have already fitted the zipper this will require some extensive unpicking! I would suggest you try Tizmehr's advice and let it out at the side seams at the waist first since this is an easier and quicker alteration. Relaxing the waist might just be enough to let the back fall smoothly. It may not be perfect and the waist will probably sit a little too low but it might salvage your dress without the need for an extensive remake.
For future projects you should have someone measure your back waist - tie a piece of cord or ribbon around your waist as a reference point and then measure from 'bump' at the back of your neck (usually the 2nd top vertebrae) down to your waist. Then check this measurement against the pattern sizing to confirm if you are 'short waisted' and by how much. Then you can incorporate this adjustment into any patterns where the back waist measurement would be critical, such as a waisted dress. HTH
------Jenny, Perth, WA
Thanks so much for the instructions!
Now I can see how tight it looks in the back - yuck. ;( Oh well, like I said, I have NOT sewn much of anything for about 25 years. So, I'm proud that I at least got it to LOOK like a dress. LOL
Yes, I'm top heavy - which is most likely not helping matters.
The zipper lies nicely flat when I'm not wearing it...and I also have not finished it off yet. I figure I'm going to need to remove it to make a change.
Even if I can't make it great, I'd like to know what to do better next time.
Sorry JenLeeC, we must have been posting at the same time. Hmmm, THAT does describe the problem: the back waist being too long... Yet, it's okay in the front? (I have a tummy that I'm trying to hide.) I'm not petite petite - just short! LOL
Unfortunately, I don't think there's enough to let out on the sides. My instincts do tell me to shorten the mid back. I can handle removing the zipper (Hey - I already put it in wrong once!). I was just afraid to cut.
Thanks for the tip for the future. I will be unpicking for awhile.
I hope the link works okay,

Take Our Snow Please - Poem by jim foulk
As out the window,
I look, more snow today,
have only one thing to say,
take our snow please.
Six week-ends straight,
snow, snow every where,
have only one thing to say,
take our snow please, today.
So much snow, so much cold,
snow in the streets, snow in the yard,
snow on the car, snow on my shoe,
have only one thing to say,
take our snow please, we don't know what to do.
Winter, oh winter please end,
all of this snow, we don't really want it,
snow falling, flakes dropping
have only one thing to say,
take our snow please, don't delay.

Chub's towing employs murderers and alcoholics. Driver "D" smelled of alcohol when picking up my car. I was afraid to ride with him. And he had a bag of beer in the truck with him. He said they (store clerks) aren't supposed to sell to tow truck drivers in their trucks but he had someone who would. Beware!!!!!!

HELP! I NEED A MAN; Walker: Michael Bowen Accompanies Esther
Byline: Esther Rantzen
WOULD anyone consider becoming a walker for a fairly attractive,spasmodically witty widow of 67 who gets invited to parties, first nights andglitzy events, but who can no longer face going out on her own? It's not thatI'm pathetic or desperate, it is that I've been badly bruised recently byhaving to attend a party by myself because my usual walker has retired hurt.
I'll explain the nature of his wounds later, but I was determined to acceptthis invitation, and I'd been looking forward to this particular party for sometime. It was to take place in a glamorous restaurant to celebrate an old friendwho is a successful TV executive.
I anticipated that there would be plenty of famous faces, but not many I knew.Still, I'm a grown up girl, I've been a widow for seven years, so I decided togo to the party on my own.
I dolled myself up carefully, and arrived at the party the prescribed 20minutes late. THE room was crowded, drinks were circulating, so I took a glass,and positioned myself beside two women who were in deep conversation.
I smiled at them. Nothing. After ten minutes I tried another smile. Stillnothing.
Their conversation reached a natural break, so I introduced myself. They barelyflicked their eyes at me, and plunged back into their own conversation. Ilooked around the room. There was nobody I knew.
I picked up my drink and walked through the crowd.
Backs were turned, the noise was deafening, the star of the event was greetingnew arrivals and nobody was introducing anyone to anyone else.
I went back to my spot, but the two women didn't acknowledge my return.
So I finished my drink, applauded the speeches, laughed at the video and left.
It was more than a boring evening it was insulting.
There was a time when it was quite safe to attend such an event by yourselfbecause you knew the host had enough class to make sure nobody was - ignored orcold-shouldered.
Biddy Baxter, the brilliant TV producer who invented Blue Peter, was onceemployed by the BBC to make sure their parties worked as well as any of her topshows, and Biddy constantly introduced guests to each other and made sure theycirculated so that nobody was stuck with a bore. That was class, whateverhappened to it? When Biddy retired, somehow the skill was lost.
Luckily, at about that time I met a doctor at a party, who works in London,although he and his wife and family live in Oxford. She is a very successfulacademic, and spends many nights at official dinners.
They have a strong, happy marriage, and she doesn't care at all if he 'walks'me while she is attending the many functions attached to her job.
Michael Bowen, though a skilled and distinguished surgeon, nonetheless enjoysshowbusiness events. Many of my friends have reached the stage when they wouldfar rather curl up in front of Dragons' Den than brave the night air, so theyscornfully turn down my invitations to parties. …

Triple Crown winner American Pharoah will stand at stud for $200,000, one of the highest prices for a horse in his first year as a stallion.
The fee was set by Ashford Stud, which operates as Coolmore's American breeding facility in Versailles, Kentucky.
The colt's breeding rights were purchased from owner Ahmed Zayat for an undisclosed amount earlier in the year, with reports putting the figure between $15 million and $20 million.
A stallion typically books up to 200 mares in a year, which means American Pharoah's first-year worth could be $40 million. The colt earned $8,650,300 on the track with nine wins in 11 races.
Zayat has said he retains an interest...

The Bulls close out out their pre-All-Star Break schedule tonight when they travel to Boston to take on the injury-riddled Celtics. Catch all the action on Comcast SportsNet, beginning with Bulls Pregame Live at 6:00, hosted by Mark Schanowski and Kendall Gill.
As the Bulls prepare for the return of their star point guard, the Celtics have just begun to deal with the loss of their own. All-Star Rajon Rondo suffered a torn ACL in late January and will miss the next 8-10 months. It was a crippling blow for the Celtics, who at the time were fighting for their playoff lives in the Eastern Conference.
Many thought Danny Ainge -- the same man who brought Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to Boston in 2007, which led to a championship that year -- essentially would blow up the team, as veteran stars Kevin Garnett (36 years old) and Paul Pierce (35) would be expected to wait until next season to consider competing for another NBA Finals appearance.
But just as the Bulls have done without Derrick Rose -- Chicago is 30-21 and just one-half game behind the Pacers in the Central Division -- the Celtics have rallied around the loss of their All-Star and produced wins.
Since Rondo's injury, Doc Rivers' group is 7-1 with wins over Miami, both Los Angeles teams and Denver. Their seven-game win streak was halted last night in Charlotte but the stretch of play minus Rondo has eased concerns over the immediate future of the team. Boston currently sits at No. 7 in the East and 6.0 games out of first in the Atlantic Division.
The play of point guard Avery Bradley, widely considered one of the best on-ball defenders in the league, and veteran guard Jason Terry, who has taken on more of a role like the one he had for so many years in Dallas, have helped ease the loss of Rondo. It was going to be impossible to replace the league-leader in assists, but Rivers -- Tom Thibodeau's mentee -- has put his team in position to succeed.
It also doesn't hurt to have Pierce averaging 18.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists in the eight games since Rondo went down. In that span Pierce has two triple-doubles and Garnett has five double-doubles to help lead the injury-ridden Celtics -- Rondo's would-be back-up, Leandro Barbosa, also suffered a torn ACL earlier this week -- into the All-Star Break.
You won't see Rondo in action tonight, but the Celtics have had no problem racking up wins since his injury. See if the Bulls can head into the break with some momentum tonight on Comcast SportsNet. And stay in-tune with everything on social media by checking out Bulls Pulse.

Creation Workshop - SLA / FDM Slicer and Controller
by PacManFan, published
Thing Info
I have just released the final 13 Beta version.
The latest release of this can be obtained from https://github.com/Pacmanfan/UVDLPSlicerController/tree/master/UVDLP/Published
Hey everyone, I've been working recently on building a UV-Resin based 3d printer with a DLP projector. One thing that I have noticed is the lack of open-source software for UV-Printers. What I am uploading here and hosting on GitHub ( https://github.com/Pacmanfan/UVDLPSlicerController ) is an open source project under the Creative Commons license that can be used to:
1) Load and Slice Models (UV DLP)
2) Control a 3d UV/DLP printer.
3) Control an FDM printer (Reprap & similar)
It supports both ASCII & Binary STL files, as well as 3DS and OBJ files.
The latest Beta 13 has some great new features:
Fixed all reported issues in version 12
Improved Camera Controls (Thanks Shai!)
Volume & Cost Estimator
Huge reduction in memory usage
Instant Slicing
Revised future-proof config files
Additional support generation tools
Fixed the intersection issues in support generation & object selection
Simplified GUI (G-Code controls)
New Plug-In System
Instant Slicing
Other things I forgot...
To answer a few questions ahead of time:
-This project uses C#, and seems to work on Windows, Linux, & Mac (under Mono) just fine.
- Multiple monitors are supported. The secondary monitor on the system is assumed to be the DLP display monitor.
-I'm also using a 1024x768 Infocus DLP projector.
I'm looking for others who can contribute to this project.
You can follow me on my BlogSpot : http://probjectblogs.blogspot.com/
or on my Website: http://www.envisionlabs.net/
I have also started a Forum dedicated to helping people build thier own SLA / DLP resin machines. You can find it here:

Hi Pacman and thanks for this wonderful slicer.
I am trying to make this work on a makerbot replicator clode (CTC model) to modify it afterwards as a SLA printer. However there is no way I can connect it to the software and no response from the printer. It keeps saying it is connected using generic however nothing else happens and by the speed of the connection I can assume that it is not actually connected. I tried everything without any success.
Come to our www.buildyourownsla.com forums for help!
Nice work!!! It works great on my SeeMeCNC Droplit printer. One comment... for whatever reason, the Droplit has about a 1" diameter build plate but has a 4" diameter petri dish for the vat... is there any options to specify that when building so that supports work correctly?
Dear friend i have some suggestions.
in Configure Machine window are displaying not right values as they are loaded. When Estimated Build Time is more than 24 hours, the
calculated time displayed for 24 hours less.
In previous 13th version GCode programming is more liberal. Now in new release we can not save work in Gcode mode and than
reload it . Now we can not do any changes in program in Gcode mode. If it is possible please recover Gcode working
possibility as it was in previous version.
Add the opportunity to input moving distance value manually in Control window.
Also please add the opportunity to change default speed value from 200 to another custom default value.
In previous version model was loading in position as it was saved. Please let us choose this function.
Thank you for so useful program. If it is possible, please add another BROWSE button in preferences , which will allow to choose image file as foreground, as mask for printable area.
Thank you.
Print when you can know where to slice play, so you do not have to keep the machine in the next
. I hope you can support and overlapping model piece in the middle is black, this part should be printed, I'm long-winded, thank you,
I found a problem with the Magics plus support, software is not compatible, I like to add support for Magics, great,
Very nice app.
This is just an idea. Lets say you have a top down DLP printer and you have a large vat, you will want to print parts on top of each other. The easiest way I think to add parts would be is if you have multiple virtual platforms. So you have the base platform and then many virtual platforms, as many as you want to create. You can create a build platform maybe above the highest object on the bottom platform or maybe create a virtual platform a certain height from the base platform.
The app can then create support material from the bottom parts to the parts on the next build platform. It will just make it easier to keep things flat if you are printing more and more parts on top of each other
If you make your build volume the following it is a bit difficult to get to the top of the build area
Found a problem, supporting with overlap model, the slice play out in the middle is black, the part should be printed, thank you,
Multiple models can overlap with no issue, a single model that self-intersects can cause problems.

A seriously great development PacManFan. It is amazing you matched this on your own! My biggest thanks for making Creation Workshop open source. One hurdle less to finally realize my DLP dream.
Dear Sir,
thanks for your reply and happy to know that you would like to exporting the svg soon , and I would like
to try to use it for laser printer !
Dear Sir,
I have followed your software for long time already , I like your software and found that your software is very powerful and can calculate very fast , that's good for user . when you are in version 11 I still hope that you will develop the SVG format , but start from version 12 and 13 , the SVG icon was disappeared in your software , why ? Does it mean you won't develop the SVG any more ?
From the beginning I am waiting and hoping you will develop the SVG format, but since the SVG icon disappeared that really made me disappointed ! Hope you will start the SVG development very soon .
No one has actually asked for SVG exporting yet. I was looking into supporting an industry standard such as CLI or SLI files. I'll probably add exporting soon. What do you need SVG for?
Great project,
I test the first time, the previous situation didn't happen, great, now the firmware seems to have is not the same as before, I used to use the Sprinter - master of firmware, slice thickness can change, how do I feel section size wrong, such as 10 high slice shows 134, setting is 0.1 mm, maybe I can't wait, didn't set well.
I think that is my system problem, redo or, later, every time slice
to more than 200 collapses, suggest a software problem,
I believe that I've found and fixed the issue that was causing the crash. It should be fixed in the next release.
Now what's the solution didn't, now you can print dot, Z high tip
software errors, these are going to motor still work, is the middle of the
figure prompted icon, my email address, [email protected]
First of all thank you for your offer such powerful software, very good, when I
was in a bit of a problem, sometimes printed to the half of the time, the
software automatically shut down, 05. 09 is such, then software has a 0 bit is
set. Just couldn't get on the midway software crashes motor, very troublesome.
One other thing, if a crash occurs, copy and save the "Creation.log" file. It should have any details of the crash. You'll need to save the log file somewhere else before you re-launch the software again, otherwise it will get overwritten.
Crashes are never a good thing. I'd like to reproduce the problem and see if I can fix it for you before my next release. Can you send me the profiles you are using (machine and slicing) as well as the model? Also, what is the configuration of your computer (OS, memory size, etc..) Sorry about the crash :-(

Hello PacManFan
The Generic Driver was my Problem :). My New Proplem is, thats the z akse moving in only direction. The x and y Aksis und both directions. Can you help me with this Problem?
I want operate my printer with Creation Workshop 10. The cut and sent to the projector is good work, but does not want to control the ramps. About Printrun I can move all the stepper from my Ramps. Creation Workshop can connect but more not happen. can you help me further?
Thanks and sorry for my English
Here are a few things to check: Make sure you're using the 'eGeneric' driver in you machine profile. Make sure your firmware on your RAMPS board is set to 115200. Let me know how it works.
Hi everybody!!! Great job. I like the software. I have downloaded both beta9 and beta10 versions. But on both versions I have the same issue. In beta10 version "Add manual support" and "Add automatic supports" buttons are inactive. In beta10 version "Print" button is also inactive, but it is active in beta9. Please help!
And please add color invert function in options.
The 'Add manual support' and 'Add automatic Support' options are disabled for now. You should use the 'Build' button and not the print Option. The print option will be enabled for powder-based printers when it is ready. I can add an invert or color selection to the next version.
while I try to load a object into the program the system become slow and lagging. I using a laptop with window vista and with Intel duol core and 2gb of ram.
is the my pc hardware problem..?
I'm fairly certain that you probably tried to load an ASCII STL file. See if you can convert the file to a Binary STL and try again. I know for certain that there is a bug with my ASCII STL loader.
Any updates/fixed coming soon ;-)? Like always: Great Job!
I should have a new version in the next week or so, I've been fixing the automatic support generation.
Great work ! I'have been for 20 years in 3d scanning and 10 years in 3d printing... I have cnc, solidscapes machines and a cpx... just building a 3d dlp printing machine.. near Place Vendome in Paris, I think we can exchange...
Message me: [email protected] . I'm currently working with 3 companies to incorporate support for various 3d UV DLP Printers.
Hi, First thanks alot for this great job, also I am kind of stupid in electronics, Is thsi software compatible with RAMPS 1.4? is fo how shall i set it up?
I should probably take the time to write a hardware guide. Many people have been asking about this. I'm using a RAMPS 1.3 board running Sprinter on mine. Setup should be fairly straight forward. You may need to recompile your device firmware to match the hardware characteristics of your machine (pin numbers / steps per mm/ etc). Beyond that, what other hardware configuration questions did you have?
I am using a Casio XJ-A140V DLP Projector (No laser Diodes and Heatsink) that is enhanced with a 20 W UV LED (I hope It works), I have a Rams 1.4 that is modified for 24V power supply. Waiting for my Stepper motor and still looking for a Low backlash Z Guid screw (any Idea?) I am looking if possible :) get a layer thickness of 10 micron from my machine (at least its my Dreaming?!) But I am Newbie in software.
I am still confused about yoru machine? what controller are you using? a common mach3 compatible controller or an Ardunio+Ramps Based driver?
can you please explain about the details? anyway i really appreciate what you have done until now and if have not seen your site, i was never thinking to build my own DLP printer :)
Hello vollnormal
what settings need to be made for the support Generator ?
I tried it but I do not get it yet
Newest version...Located in the menu somewhere...But still buggy
I've been touching up the GUI for use with a 8" Touchscreen. Will fork when done...One bug in the support Generation...Support is not created everywhere. Difficult to explain, see image :-) http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z114/vollnormal/SuppBug_zps3ddfb6aa.pnghttp://i190.photobucket.com/al...
I'm still in the process of putting in Support generation, both Manual and Automatic, It should be complete in the next release.
I'm just here to build a DLP printer, when the printer is ready I will try your software.Thanks
Also Busy building my Machine...I think whats still missing is the ability to insert custom code before the lift and after the lift. This would allow a VAT seperation movement for example. But VERY VERY well done!
If you look in the \Profiles\default directory, you'll see 4 gcode files. prelift.gcode and postlist.gcode are the files you're looking for. Any gcode in these files will be inserted on a per-layer basis for the pre/post list.
Make sure you've got the latest release (Alpha 05) and you install in a clean directory.
Found it, perfect. Also communicating well with my live maschine. Now I only have to finish the Machine ;-). Like you say, the STL loader is buggy. Well done once again!
As long as you're loading binary STL's, it should be 100%. Ascii STL's still have some issues.
looking good, I am truly impressed!
When it comes to programming I am as daft as a doorknob, but please let me know if you need any mechanical designwork done on this project!
Hello PacManFan
You're welcome. Do you have a UV DLP printer to try it on? I could use more testers.
