I decided to do a little experiment where I used one batch post to post around 2,000 auctions live with the majority of them acquired via methods similar to my 22 steps to auctioneer and auction house viper strategies. After 12 hours I opened my mail box live on XFIRE and produced a whopping 5k gold. By the next 12 hours it was up to 8k gold and by 48 hours it was at 10,400 easy wow gold. The vast majority of these items were simple flips from both normal and cross faction auctions. I did not include an epic gun I sold for 770 gold in these sales numbers as that wasn't a typical item for me to sell. I'd say 4k of this gold came from profession manipulation (infinite dusts, netherweave bags, armor vellums, weapon vellums, snowfall inks, cobalt bars, etc) and 400 gold came from a stratholme run.
What does this mean for anyone starting out with auctioneer trying to make easy wow gold? There's hope and you don't even need professions! All you need is the simple knowledge of individual markets and how they cycle in prices during the week. Buy/Bid low, sell normal... remember? I aim for items that are 50% or lower PCT and I rely heavily on my snatch scan to help remove the 'filth' from auctioneer's normal resale scan and make my purchasing faster. I cannot stress enough the importance of building a snatch scan that encompasses as many items as possible in the game when trying to make wow gold efficiently. This is just for simple flipping, that's not even taking into account buying out items for professions to manipulate and make even more wow gold.
A snatch list of 100+ items is not uncommon among auction house gurus, what does yours look like?

I've just started building my snatch list from scratch.
I think right now, it's important to have Dream Shards, Infinite Dust, and Frozen Orbs in your snatch list.
Why? Well they are in the tanker right now. People will undercut into infinity. I've bought frozen orbs below vendor price!
Also you should always have staples in there.. Saronite Ore, Borean Leather, Cloth.. if you don't really know the price of these things, set it at near vendor-value for the goods it can produce.

I am currently in the process of rebuilding my own snatch list because I accidentally lost my addons fixing wow with the last patch. Definately don't try to live without a snatch list!
epic uncut jewels 120g
eternal fire 10g
titanium ore 10g
essence of undeath 2.5g
mithril ore 1.5g
mithril bar 1g
crystal life 76s
iron ore 60s
rugged leather 89s
wool cloth 50s
*Oh and I got my first complaining email in the game that I am underselling my titanium bars from transmuting and crushing the market.

I'd love to hear some comments as to what people have on their snatch list, for those of us just starting out!
Richard said... December 17, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Spider silk. It's a limited supply item and used for making Robes of Arcana, which is a pretty popular lower-level item.
You can sometimes buy them for less than a gold, and resell them for 10g. Not going to get rich doing it, but easy money.

Robe of Arcana is "reagent" for a warlock quest, and the reason why it sells
Arckon said... December 17, 2009 at 2:20 PM
For someone looking to setup an entry level snatch list you need at least a week of Auctioneer scans complete. Preferably you scan 3 times a day during that first week some basic items on my list include: Infinite dust, Greater Cosmic, Dream shards, Abyss crystal, eternals, saronite ore, raw gems, cloth and herb. I'm a main competitor in Enchants scrolls and Glyphs so I have each scroll I sell on snatch for mat cost. Hope this helps.
Thealah said... December 17, 2009 at 2:44 PM
How often do you update it? With all of the patch changes, a scroll's 'mats cost' changes so rapidly..
Anonymous said... December 17, 2009 at 4:11 PM
I was under the impression frozen orbs do not have a vendor price?
Thealah said... December 17, 2009 at 4:22 PM
Vendor price is 5g. It's listed on Wowhead below.
I figured they didn't have one either. I was surprised the other day when I saw they did, and that's when I added the snatch.

For those new to auctioneer and the gold making process could you make a post explaining how to build a snatch list and what its purpose is? I know myself and many other new banking players that just have a banking alt camped at the AH to do scans and check for deals every few hours.
Markco said... December 17, 2009 at 5:17 PM
@Annonymous - I'll see what I can do with the batch post idea, not sure when it will be posted though.
autumns said... December 17, 2009 at 11:24 PM
A list of what you have on your snatch list would be nice.
Not prices, just the items to lookout for.
Oyeahx said... December 18, 2009 at 6:32 AM
How do you set up a snatch list?
Arckon said... December 18, 2009 at 2:30 PM
@ Ohyeax
to add an item to your snatch list, open the auction hourse and type
/snatch [Link Item] XXgXXsXXc
for example one of mine is
/snatch [Saronite Ore] 50s
the price you specify is for each individual ore.
@ Thealah
It's fairly easy to edit a snatch list based on prices however I usually dont touch my scroll settings and work around the materials costs. If Greater Cosmics ever go below 15g market on my realm I'll edit the scroll costs, till then I'll leave them alone.
Shawn said... December 19, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Question for Markco and others who batch post.
What Auctioneer settings do you use to make sure to undercut and be the lowest price, but not undercut below what you payed for the item?
Do you set to undercut to a certain percentage, and figure if the market goes below that then its not worth selling?

The talks come as the US helps Moldova strengthen its borders amid fears the region of Transdniestria may become the next Crimea.
02:13, UK, Monday 31 March 2014
US Secretary of State John Kerry says he and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov have agreed to find a diplomatic solution to de-escalate the Ukraine crisis.
The pair held four hours of talks in Paris in a bid to end the worst East-West stand-off since the end of the Cold War.
Tensions have grown over Russia's military build-up on Ukraine's borders, sparking fears Moscow may try to seize more ex-Soviet territory following its annexation of Crimea.
Mr Kerry told a news conference he and Mr Lavrov discussed possible ways to end the stalemate.
He said Russia's actions in Crimea were "illegal and illegitimate" and Ukraine needs to be at the table for negotiations.
He also raised "strong concerns" about the presence of Russian troops on the Ukraine border, which he said were creating a climate of fear and intimidation.
On Saturday night, several hundred people in Crimea celebrated their switch from Ukraine to Moscow time - finalising the peninsular's incorporation into Russia.
Earlier, Mr Lavrov tried to ease tensions by saying his country has "absolutely no intention" of sending in what Kiev's government estimates are 100,000 troops gathered on Ukraine's eastern borders.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin phoned US President Barack Obama for the first time since the crisis began.
Mr Obama spent last week touring Europe in a bid to reassure his Nato allies.
The US announced on Sunday it is giving Moldova $10m (£6.1m) to strengthen security on its border with Ukraine.
Part of Moldova's eastern border is occupied by the breakaway Russian-speaking region of Transdniestria.
Moscow's absorption of Crimea has raised fears Russia could make similar moves in other ex-Soviet states with separatist regions.
Mr Lavrov said in a TV interview on Saturday that "Chisinau (Moldova's capital) and the new Ukrainian authorities have practically organised a blockade" of Transdniestria.
"What's more, the European Union and, as I understand it, the United States, encourage such a line," he said.

Some of our favorite responses: "[Dr. King] made me want better for myself, because I am equal to everyone else - not beneath or better, but EQUAL. So I feel that I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to do. Everyone should have a fair shot on their own merit and character. My favorite quote is " Let the work I've done speak for me." Makeba Thomas-Brownlee, Rockledge, FL "MLK influenced me by his non-violent philosophy. Because of this I believe that all situations can be dealt with without violence." Lillian Bell, Midlothian, IL "Three words: FIGHT. FREEDOM. DREAMS."Zenna Willis We know all of our readers have been influenced by Dr. King, his message and his work, in one way or another. We hope you find some time today to reflect on that and how you can continue to carry on his work seeking equality, dignity and justice for all.

This is not an official announcement, but I must share the news with you. DB2 Express-C for Mac OS X Leopard will finally be shipping out (before Christmas), in all likelihood it could be as soon as early next week. You may recall how more than a year ago I blogged about how the work on porting DB2 to the Mac had started. It took admittedly longer than expected but DB2 on Mac is coming, and is absolutely free of charge, of course. The team is still playing with the bubble wrap, but DB2 on Mac is a reality.
What took IBM so long? DB2 is a database management system that's highly optimized for each platform that it's available for, so that it can take full advantage of the operating system at hand. In other words, porting DB2 from one platform to another, is not so trivial. The task is made more challenging by the extremely high standards set by IBM. You may be familiar with the whole scandal surrounding MySQL 5.1, which was released despite known fatal bugs. Something like that is simply not acceptable to IBM. Each release of DB2 has to go through a huge amount of regression and performance tests – for months. If the product does not pass all these tests and others, then DB2 is not shipped.
On top of this, a few months ago the decision to ship DB2 Express-C 9.5.2 (rather than 9.5) was made, and as you probably know, DB2 Express-C 9.5.2 was only released a little while ago for other supported platforms. So the first piece of good news is that you'll get the latest version of DB2 on the Mac. It's going to be a 64 bit version and will require Leopard to work:
$ db2level DB21085I Instance "acangiano" uses "64" bits and DB2 code release "SQL09052" with level identifier "03030107". Informational tokens are "DB2 v18.104.22.168", "s081205", "DARWIN64", and Fix Pack "2". Product is installed at "/Users/acangiano/sqllib".
The second good thing is that unlike MySQL 64 bit, you won't have to jump though hoops to build the Ruby driver due to the fact that the database is 64 bits and Ruby ships on Leopard as 32 bits. We ensured that
gem install ibm_db would work out of the box, so you don't have to.
According to Apple, my personal Mac is broken for good (the video chip is dead), which is very bad timing. But I installed DB2 and played around with it on a work Mac Pro machine. I had some fun with Ruby and Rails as well. This is great news for many categories of developers, including those who have been trying to convince their managers to get them a MacBook Pro but didn't have much of a case due to the lack of availability of a DB2 version. Now, you'll have a good excuse to get yourself a Mac. 😉
Stay tuned for the official announcement and keep in mind that this is going to be a beta (perfect for development purposes) and extra features and performance improvements will be added in future releases.

Great news!
That's really good news. No more virtual machines on my mac. – at least not only because of DB2 😉
Yawn…. what took so long?
Considering Apple almost has 8.5% of the desktop market, they definetly have the firepower to modify and implement open-source DB2 implementations available to existing Linux and Unix vendors for the last several years. Stop dragging your feet Apple.
The Mac OS is no better than the Windows OS, they are both closed source proprietary systems… and each of them XP and Mac OS X are priced near $135 dollars.
When will we stop padding the pockets of Wall Street executives? A decent license fee wouldn't even cost over $25.00… but no, greedy Steve Jobs is just like Bill Gates and Balmer.
Roll with Linux instead, we don't need Apple to become a Windows incarnate so that in 15 years we can see a dumb commercial about PC vs PC and why this one is better than that one. The truth is they are both rip-offs!
Great! This is what I'd call a decent Christmas present. 😉
That's a really good news. I've seen DB2 for the first in a university course and i'm always want to use and test on my mac.
This is unbelievable great stuff!
I'm so happy that I can ditch Oracle and their "not so well MacOS X support" instantly.
[…] pre-announced in my two previous posts, DB2 for Mac OS X Leopard is finally available for download. It's now official, DB2 on […]

Dell to launch Venue Pro-like Android smartphone?
Dell is reportedly getting ready to unveil a new Android smartphone – but that's hardly a surprise.
What may be surprising is that, according to PC World, the new Android smartphone will resemble the Venue Pro, which is Dell's first Windows Phone 7 handset.
Expected to become available starting next month, the Venue Pro (seen below) has a WVGA touchscreen display and a sliding portrait QWERTY keyboard.
We've seen some upcoming Dell Android smartphones before, but none of them has the Venue Pro's form factor (the Dell Smoke features a QWERTY keyboard, but it's not a slider).
Dell could announce its new Android smartpohne in the coming months, when the company should also present a new 7 inch tablet.

Workshop of the ECREA TWG Mediatization
"Rethinking the mediatization of politics: Politics and policy, government and governmentality, citizenship and activism"
Location: New Academic Building, LSE, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th April 2014
The mediatization of politics was the very beginning of mediatization research: In the 1990s and the years following, mediatization was mainly discussed as the adaptation of 'media rules' or 'journalistic logics' to the field of politics. Following this, most of the early theorising of mediatization was related to this kind of research. However, since then the field of mediatization research has opened widely. This makes it possible to rethink the mediatization of politics in a wider frame than previously possible.
The basic idea of the workshop is to re-open the discussion on the mediatization of politics by linking it more closely to questions of government/governance and governmentality. Politics is much more deeply influenced by mediatization than original conceptualisations implied: Not only the patterns of journalistic news production are important for reflecting the mediatization of politics. We also have to bear in mind that the whole way of (public) political opinion-forming increasingly refers to information and decision-making processes that are based on technical media. Such a statement does not only reflect more recent developments like "open data" approaches or "e-government", for example. Already in the 1970s, political decisions referred to computer-gathered information and technologically-based communication networks. At the same time, various new forms of activism as well as citizenship became an important counterpoint to traditional forms of politics – and again they are highly mediatized. If we want to understand the mediatization of politics, we also have to take such changes in government/governance and governmentality into consideration. Additionally, there is a need to analyse deeply how mediatization changes the practices of doing politics.
Based on such considerations, we invite submissions on the following topics (theoretical as well as empirical):
Invited keynote speakers are:
Responsible for the review was the whole organisation team (Nick Couldry, Andreas Hepp, Stig Hjarvard, Friedrich Krotz, Kristina Riegert).

It doesn't always pay to be one of the world's most popular sportsmen, as tennis' number one found out to his cost.
11:03, UK, Tuesday 01 January 2013
The world's top tennis player Novak Djokovic suffered a bizarre injury scare as he was signing autographs for fans at a tournament in Australia.
The star hurt his leg after a board surrounding the court collapsed as a group of supporters, including children, pushed towards him.
The Serbian left his racquets and bag on the court and limped along the players' tunnel to get a medical assessment in the locker room.
Djokovic was unable to complete a television interview he had agreed to after his 6-3, 6-4 victory over Italian Andreas Seppi in the Hopman Cup.
However he later recovered to take part in a doubles match which was won by Italy 7-6, 6-4.

Reverse Phone Number SearchGet the name and address that a landline or cellular phone number is associated with.
- Name & address associated with any cellular or land-line phone number
- 1 business day
- Area code and phone number
- Helpful: Subject's name
Estimated Return Time:
What's Needed:
What is a reverse phone number lookup?
It is a search where you can get the name and physical address that a landline phone number is associated with. In the case of a cell phone number, you'll can get the name and billing address.
Can you do a reverse phone lookup on any number?
We can uncover information for most U.S. 10-digit landlines and cell phone numbers.
For pre-paid cell phone lookups, names and addresses are only available some of the time – depending on whether or not the owner of the phone has actually registered it. Therefore, for pre-paid numbers, we only guarantee to provide either the subscribers name or the subscribers address. (Whatever is registered with the carrier at time of purchase) We will provide both, if available.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) numbers are more difficult to reverse and are charged at a different rate.
Other websites are promising to do a reverse phone lookup with "instant results". Can you offer that, too?
There is no such thing as an "instant result" to obtain current records.
If you are lucky enough to need information on a phone number that is listed in the white pages directories, you can get a name and address very quickly. However, most of the websites that promise "instant results" only have access to the white page directories – and those directories may be of no use to you. After all, if the phone number that you need to lookup isn't listed in the white pages – which an increasing number of landlines and all cell phone numbers are not – those websites will not be able to help you.
Luckily, when you work with us, you are working with licensed private investigators who have access to information that most people don't – including information that the "instant result" websites don't have. We have contacts with most phone carriers, so even if the phone number that you need to search is maintained by an individual phone carrier, we can usually get the contact records for you.
If we cannot secure the current name and address for your phone number search, we will refund your entire $45 search fee.
Is each one of your reverse phone number searches done by hand?
Yes! For every order that receive, all of the searching is done by hand, by licensed private investigators.
You can rest easy knowing that your reverse phone lookup will only uncover current information – rather than names and addresses that have been outdated for years and that are of no use to you.
Reverse a Phone Number Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do we perform a reverse phone number search?
A: We use the submitted information to search for credible sources containing data associated with that information. All requests are handled by professional private investigators, who use hand-research each inquiry using their years of experience.
Q: How much time does it take to complete a reverse phone number search?
A: Approximately one business day is needed to find accurate information.

The Berkshire Brewing Company, located in North Deerfield, Massachusetts, produces an interesting mix of beer styles. Its year-round brews include craft beer staples like a porter and an IPA, but also more unusual fare, like a kolsch and a dark American wheat beer.
German style dark wheat beers are called dunkelweizens and tend to have a mix of toasted and sweet fruity flavors that combine to taste a lot like banana bread. They also tend to have very light hop character. The World Beer Cup judging guidelines go so far as to say "hop flavor is none."
Berkshire's River Ale, a dark American wheat, instead showcases the hops. The beer is hopped with a single, American variety, Willamette. It also lacks some of the fruity character that its German cousins get from their yeast.
River Ale pours an amber color and slightly hazy, with a big fizzy white head that quickly dissipates. There's a citrus aroma, from the hops, upfront on the nose. This is met with hints of caramel and a little bit of spice. The spice is more evident on the tongue. The malt also is more complex, with some toastiness, and a toffee flavor. There's also a brown ale-like nuttiness balanced out by cakey sweetness. There's a little bit of yeasty earthiness in the finish. As the beer warms, the hops reveal a new dimension in the form of some floral notes. The overall mixture of flavors is strange at first, mixing caramel and orange as the strongest flavors. It does grow on you, though, becoming reminiscent of some kind of secret-family-recipe Christmas cookie.
Berkshire brewing should be commended for trying this lesser known style and for putting their own twist on it. Showcasing hops in a style more geared toward malt, makes for a pretty unique flavor. That flavor, however may not be for everybody. Those looking to try something new and different, though, should keep an eye out for River Ale.

ATLANTA -- Attorneys for Wesley Snipes want to question the jurors who convicted the movie star of tax-related charges to determine whether any had made up their minds about the trial before it started.
The motion filed Friday in Florida federal court says that an unnamed juror sent Snipes' attorney Daniel Meachum an e-mail claiming that three other jurors had presumed the action star's guilt before the trial started.
The motion says that would violate Snipes' constitutional right to a fair trial.
The movie star was convicted in 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns. A federal appeals panel upheld the sentence earlier this month and prosecutors have asked a judge to revoke his bond.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Android 3.2.1 update now rolling out
Asus certainly has a great track record this year in keeping its Android-powered Eee Pad Transformer tablet up to date. While updates to the Transformer haven't come out exactly as they were pushed by Google, Transformer owners always had very small amounts of waiting to do, and they have received all the updates that have been available until today.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer launched running Android Honeycomb 3.0, but then saw updates to 3.1 and 3.2. And now's the time for yet another update. Yet if 3.1 and 3.2 counted as minor updates, this will be even less than that – it's basically all just bug fixes and performance improvements. Which isn't to say that it's not an update you should apply as soon as possible.
After updating, your tablet will be on version 126.96.36.199 of the software, and will run Android 3.2.1. Let's go through a quick list of a few of the things that are new. There's a cryptic new feature called Supernote on board, a bunch of new translations have been added, the Polaris Office and Asus WebStorage apps have been updated, Flash performance in the browser has been improved, as well as Wi-Fi stability, browser force-closes have been fixed, and Chinese handwriting prediction should now work better.
The update will naturally come over-the-air, so your tablet should notify you (if it hasn't done so already) that new software is available. Happy updating!

If you live in King County, the Public Health – Seattle King County site has information about the flu, a vaccine finder tool, and details on the flu in multiple languages.
Taking care of yourself when you catch the flu is critical in speeding your own recovery and preventing the spread of the flu to others. The best way to do that is to stay home and rest if you have flu-like symptoms including: a fever of 100.4 F (38.0 C) or greater, plus a cough or sore throat, and possibly other symptoms like runny nose, body aches, headaches, chills, fatigue, vomiting, or diarrhea.
All human resources policies regarding leave use remain in effect. The UWHR website provides complete information on staff leave benefits and manager leave administration.
The following questions and answers will help you understand what the University is asking each employee to do in order to keep our community healthy during the flu season.
Visit Benefit's Flu Season Resources for more flu-related information.

I am trying to invert the following equation to have it with $\theta$ as the subject:
$y = \cos \theta \sin \theta - \cos \theta -\sin \theta$
I tried both standard trig as well as trying to reformulate it as a differential equation (albeit I might have chosen an awkward substitution). Nothing seems to stick and I keep on ending up with pretty nasty expressions. Any ideas?

Durig the holidays or at anytime, many of us consider giving donations (often in honor of our loved ones) to various charitable organizations. It is unfortunate that many organizations advertently or inadvertently perpetuate the exploitation of animals and the environment through the exportation of live animals or through the sale of animals and/or animal related goods and animal flesh. ENAW invites people of faith to think holistically about creation and the fallout of these "gifts" before donating.
For an explanation why Heifer Project International and other "give an animal" projects raise serious ethical, environmental, and sustainability concerns, please see:
Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals Article: "The Reality of Send-An-Animal Schemes
UFETA Article: "What's Wrong with the Heifer Project?"
The following is a list of animal friendly organizations that help people without hurting and exploiting animals (because it is possible to do both!):
Food for Life
Plant based world hunger and disaster relief
Trees for LifePlants fruit trees in developing countries to feed those in need through renewable resources
Global Giving GuideA guide to over 450 pre-screened grassroots charities

NORRISTOWN Ś The man shot in the mid-section Thursday evening near the intersection of West Oak and Kohn streets was identified by police Friday as ôa Norristown man in his 20s.ö
ôHe was shot in his stomach area shortly after 8 p.m.,ö said Norristown Det. Cpl. Adam Schurr. ôWe had a detective interview the victim Friday morning and at this point the victim is still not cooperating.ö
Police said Thursday night the victim had recently been released from prison. He was flown to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for treatment of a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening.
Schurr said the victim was shot once in the stomach area but would not comment on whether any bullets were recovered by police at the scene.
The initial report from the scene was that the victim was ôeither walking or standing with three other guysö when a car drove up and the victim was shot, said Norristown Police Chief Russell Bono on Thursday night.
Schurr said, ôthe description of the car is still under investigation. We do not know if he was shot from a car.ö
Schurr said police were unsure whether the victim was with three other men at the time of the shooting and ôthe car is still under investigation.ö
Norristown Police Det. Eric Gergel is conducting the investigation.
ôWe have a victim that is uncooperative and the shooting is still under investigation,ö Schurr said. ôI donĺt want to put out facts that canĺt be confirmed.ö

text: 22 September 2009 archive See all show photos WITH words and phrases like "future-retro technical dexterity" and "hyperrealistic" among the show notes, we knew we were in for more than a print-tastic ride from the original Fashion Fringe winners Basso & Brooke this afternoon. And, accordingly, they delivered the digitalised pattern goods to a front row of Harold Tillman, Philip Green (Basso & Brooke for Topshop, anyone?), David Downton and front row regular of the week Michelle Williams. Stepping out onto the catwalk as though they had just stepped out of the water – or rather the "second decade of the 'new' millennium" as the show notes continued – hair was wet in look and lips stained in dark purple shades. A jacket-cinched-into-a-dress was first out, smeared in paint by print which smudged its way on to tube dresses gathered into place, body-con dresses with sheer flank panels, a series of more tailored pieces and, conversely, draped and swagged skirts – which there has been no shortage of seeing on the catwalk this week. Other dresses were seemingly hit by lightening as pink and silver fragmented lines cracked and dispersed about the body and azure, green, yellow and rainbow rays shone out as pleats.SEE THE BASSO & BROOKE SHOW ARCHIVE Jessica Bumpus Continue reading Back to top

As the King James Version of the Bible celebrates 400 years, scholars hope for a renaissance
PROVO — Coolio rapped with it, Milton wrote about it and Bosch painted from it. Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., relied on its calls for charity and civility, and the first time men saw the earth from space they quoted from its opening lines.
For 400 years, the King James Version of the Bible has inspired and instructed painters and poets, peasants and presidents with its vivid descriptions of plagues and miracles and elegant resuscitations of Christian beliefs.
Along the way, hundreds of additional translations have aimed to shed light on the early Christian record, yet none has left a legacy like the KJV.
Yet despite its pivotal role in language, literature and religious culture, the thick book is often forgotten about or relegated to a dusty library shelf.
But not this year.
As the KJV celebrates its 400th anniversary in 2011, groups nationwide plan to celebrate the top-selling book of all time and the literary centerpiece of the Christian world.
"Everyone seems to have woken up," said Tim Brearley, director of the King James Bible Trust. "This is an amazing thing we've got to celebrate."
"I can't imagine the world without the KJV or the language of it," said Jan James, an LDS doctoral student at the University of York whose dissertation focuses on the history of the English Bible. "So many of our common phrases have come from there and our language would not be the same."
The familiar phrases, "my brother's keeper," and "the kiss of death," have their origins in the King James Bible. So too do, "An eye for an eye," "the powers that be," and "signs of the times."
Despite the old Jacobean English, scholars say the King James text carries timeless power, especially read aloud.
"The King James is poetry," said Brearley, director of the King James Bible Trust, a group established in England to commemorate the 400th anniversary through conferences, performances, celebrations and publications. "You find that as soon as you start saying it out loud, it helps you. The words start to carry you along and it's got that resonance to it."
The rhythm has been captured in famous speeches, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream," and his allusion to Amos 5:24: "No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream," and Isaiah 40:4-5, "I have a dream that every valley shall be exalted."
"Would a modern translation have that force?" asked Brearley. "I don't know. I think that would be a tough one."
Coolio's rap hit, "Gangster's Paradise" might also not have quite the same opening ring if it were the New Living Translation's version of Psalm 23:4: "Even when I walk through the darkest valley…" rather than the KJV: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…"
"So much of our language, our categories of thinking, so many of our sayings are built off the KJV," said John Kutsko, executive director of the Society for Biblical Literature. "I don't think you're really culturally literate without understanding the impact of the Bible on culture and more specifically, the King James Version."
The KJV also made a tremendous social impact by "democratizing" the availability of the Bible, explained Carol Meyers, a biblical studies and archaeology professor at Duke.

At just the tender age of 10, The 19 year old Queens, NY born, New Jersey bread rap star was introduced to the world in 2005, along with his parents and five siblings in the popular the family oriented MTV reality television show Run's House.
During season 1, and episode 2 of the popular reality series, entitled A Healthy Heart, Diggy displayed his rapping skills with his original song, "The Most Devastating Rapper". Unbeknownst to many, this would introduce him to the world as one of the newest stars in the making.
Fast forward to 2014. Simmons is a hitmaker in his own right, and has appeared on countless hit songs as a featured artist. Amid many nominations Simmons became the 2012 recipient of BET's Young Stars Award, and 2012's NAACP Outstanding New Artist award, stapling him one of the most sought after young hip-hop stars in the industry.
Following the success of 2011's "Do It like You" with R&B artist Jerimih, Simmons is enjoying one of the most successful singles of the summer entitled "My Girl. Along with fellow rising star, 17-year-old Disney and Eureka alum Trevor Jackson. Premiering back in May, "My Girl is rapidly climbing the charts and receiving major airplay. Released on May 7, the music video shows the young teen heartthrobs impeccably dressed in tailored suits, and mingling with the ladies in a "grown and sexy" atmosphere.
Simmons suavely departs from childhood as he delivers lyrics reminiscent of a
young LL Cool J:
"I wanna get to know you girl, let me learn
Explore your mind and every curve
We should go somewhere and get acquainted
No pressure, it's just two people hanging
I'm Diggy wait? I ain't get ya' name
I get the feeling its about to change"
Jackson charismatically assists the diplomatic Simmons as his velvet voice caresses the hook:
"First off, let me apologize
For all them other guys that didn't treat you right, girl
Let me ease your mind girl, ohhh
See, you are just my type and I ain't no psychic
But I believe in my world, is that I can read your mind girl
My girl, my girl"
Jackson continues to please as he croons,
"Stress on ya mind, let me take that off
I'll give you what you need, it don't matter the cost
If he ain't on his job, girl you lay that man off, off"
Simmons has been making noise since 2009. His debut mixtape, The First Flight, received more than 100,000 downloads, eventually leading Simmons to signing a record deal with Atlantic Records.
2011 proved to be a fruitful year for Simmons as he embarked on BET's 106 & Park Closer to My Dreams and Scream Tour's Next Generation tours Along with fellow rising stars, Tyga, Mindless Behavior, Jacob Latimore, and the OMG Girlz, Simmons experienced touring for the very first time.
His first single, "Copy, Paste", from his debut album Unexpected Arrival peaked at number 29 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart allowing Unexpected Arrival to reach #2 on the US Rap Chart and #3 on the US R&B chart.
By late 2012, Simmons headlined his very own "Life of The Jetsetter Tour" with returning acts Jacob Latimore, and OMG Girlz among others.
What's in store for this dynamic duo? Both Simmons and Jackson have proven that they make beautiful music together, and there is no doubt that these two will not create the same magic again. Stay tuned folks!

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) today announced timely donations from the governments of Finland, Italy and Saudi Arabia. With the most refugees worldwide since World War II, hunger is fast escalating.
WFP relies entirely on voluntary donations from governments and the public. It's an international food for peace effort to combat world hunger.
WFP said earlier today a donation of US $ 148 million from Saudi Arabia had enabled critical food aid to be supplied in Iraq. Mohamed Diab, WFP Regional Director for the Middle East, says, "The number of people displaced by violence across Iraq is increasing at an alarming rate and access to certain areas is very difficult."
Finland is donating US $ 40 million over a period of 4 years. Pekka Haavisto, Finland's International Development Minister, says, "An unusually difficult situation in the Middle East and in several countries in Africa have increased the need for assistance to an unprecedented level. WFP is irreplaceable in this context, and in many other humanitarian crises."
Italy, meanwhile, has made a donation to WFP's mission in Sudan. Over 20,000 people in the conflict-torn nation will benefit. Schoolchildren in Kassala state and Red Sea State will receive school meals and take-home rations.
Italy's ambassador to Sudan, Armando Barucco, says, "The Italian Government attaches the greatest importance to girls' education. Our own experience has shown how essential the contribution of female education is to peace, stability and development."
With 842 million people worldwide afflicted with hunger, only an international coalition can meet the challenge. There is much work yet to be done to fight hunger. Nations are realizing more and more that it's essential for building peace.

Israel's comprehensive welfare system is based on legislation which provides for a broad range of national and community services. Care of the elderly, support programs for single parents, children, and youth, prevention and treatment of substance abuse, and assistance for new immigrants comprise a large part of available social services. Correctional services encompass probation frameworks, remedial programs for school dropouts, and residential and observational services for youth in distress. Sheltered workshops and employment counseling are among the rehabilitation services provided for the blind and physically disabled. The developmentally challenged are cared for through various residential and communitybased programs.
Under the Social Welfare Law (1958), municipalities and local authorities are required to maintain a department responsible for social services, 75 percent of whose budget comes from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. Nationwide services such as adoption, probation frameworks and residential institutions for the developmentally challenged are funded and run by the ministry. The ministry determines policy, initiates legislation, enacts regulations for the operation of social services and supervises those offered by public and private organizations.
Schools of social work, available in most universities, offer graduate and postgraduate training, combining theoretical study with field work. Government-operated programs provide training for child care staff and social work aides, as well as in-service training for social work professionals. Community and case workers are employed in various contexts, including social service bureaus, community centers, immigrant absorption facilities, mother-and-child care centers, schools, factories, and hospitals.
With planning and supervision under the aegis of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, delivery of services is channeled through the social service departments of the local authorities. Community-based services for senior citizens, which aim to preserve their independence at home, include assessment of needs by a social worker, assisting families caring for an aged person, senior citizens' clubs,meals-on-wheels, sheltered housing, daycare, medical equipment, and transportation. Emphasis is placed on services for high-risk groups, such as people without family or adequate income.

According to www.HockeysFuture.com, Casey Wellman is the 8th-best prospect for the NHL's Minnesota Wild. Author Peter Prohaska writes "A decent late season tryout with the Wild went about as well as could be expected, seeing Wellman pot one goal and three assists in 12 games. This has produced some understandable excitement among the Wild faithful, but Wellman is unlikely to be the answer for a still unremarkable offensive team. At around 170 pounds, he is undersized and his skating leaves much to be desired. He does however possess a quick, accurate shot. It will be interesting to see how much time he and fellow newly acquired sniper Joel Broda get to spend in St. Paul this season."

On one hand, we see Jewish gazillionaires pour the vast majority of their donations into non-Jewish institutions. Just 6 percent of Jewish megadonors give to Jewish causes, according to the Institute for Jewish & Community Research in San Francisco.
On the other hand, we see the huge communal need -- indigent Holocaust survivors, developmentally challenged children, families struggling with day school and camp bills, underpaid Jewish educators, programs and facilities that fail to attract and inspire the next generation. Don't get me started.
In Los Angeles, where by my count 26 individuals on the Los Angeles Business Journal's 2006 list of the "50 Richest Angelenos" are Jewish -- 26! -- it's enough to make you scream, or cry.
That's why this week's news of a merger between the University of Judaism and Brandeis-Bardin Institute should resonate even beyond the substantial number of stakeholders in both those institutions. The people and process behind it demonstrate that, given the right leadership, our institutions are capable of the kind of bold moves, backed by what the Wall Street types call solid fundamentals, that are irresistible to the mega donors.
Megadonors like Peter Lowy.
Lowy, 48, is group managing director of Westfield Holding, the largest publicly-held real estate company in the world. You know his well-serifed "W" beckoning you from afar to the Westfield shopping centers in Century City, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks -- among some 120 others worldwide.
He also has served as chairman of the board of the University of Judaism during its merger negotiations with the Brandeis-Bardin Institute, forming a new institution of great resources, talent, property and promise -- the American Jewish University.
Three years ago I met Lowy in his office overlooking Brentwood and the Santa Monica mountains. He had just been named chairman of the board of the University of Judaism. My biggest question was why a young, dynamic guy would want to take the chairmanship of an institution whose finances were known to be troubled and whose profile was less than world class.
Simple, Lowy explained to me. He believed in the mission of the University of Judaism to reach out to all Jews, regardless of affiliation or denomination.
"The UJ needs to be viewed as a community institution," he told me. "We need to be able to give these benefits to the Orthodox community, the Reform community, the Conservative community and the Reconstructionist community. We need to change the mindset of the community. It's a very difficult job to do."
Step one for Lowy was getting the UJ on firm financial footing. The problem, he said, was that too many Jewish institutions don't perform at the standards of well-run for-profit companies. He refinanced the university's debt, halving the interest rate. He taught people to stay within a budget. Within a short time, more money was coming in than going out.
Fast-forward three years, and I'm back in Lowy's office, hearing him explain how the Brandeis merger came about. The UJ's solid grounding gave it the confidence and competence to pursue an idea Lowy knew in his gut was important. "Looking ahead 10, 15 years," he said, "I wondered where the UJ was going to physically grow."
He also knew the deal was fraught with financial, bureaucratic and emotional obstacles. And he relished it.
Lowy learned to step up to the plate from his father Frank, a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust and arrived in Palestine in 1945. Frank Lowy fought as a Golani commando in the War of Independence, then moved to Australia, where he built shopping centers. Lowy, a Sydney native, worked in investment banking in London and New York before coming to Los Angeles 17 years ago. Over that time he has overseen Westfield's regional growth from 6 centers in California to 59.
He brought this same business style to his oversight of the UJ-BBI union: "This was basically M&A," a UJ board member said of Lowy's expertise in mergers and acquisitions, "and that's what Peter does."
What Lowy doesn't do is dither. "There's this Jewish tendency to process, until you can actually see an idea just die on the floor, just discuss it to death," UJ President Rabbi Robert Wexler told me. That's not Lowy's style. "These deals have a lifespan," Lowy said. "They're there and then they're gone. What will you know in six months that you don't know now?
"To achieve the impossible, you need to start the process and try."
Lowy met his counterpart in Linda Gross, the chair of Brandeis-Bardin: a sharp, youthful businesswoman not wedded to the status quo. Behind every merger, goes the Wall Street wisdom, there's really an acquisition. But Lowy said that wasn't the case with Gross across from him. "It wasn't a desperation move on Brandeis' part," he said. "She was quite good on the other side of the table."
And in little more than six months, the deal was done. A lot of Jewish institutions can't change a light bulb that fast.
Last Thursday night, at a banquet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the UJ celebrated its 60th anniversary by honoring Lowy. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was there, and President Bill Clinton and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent their best by video.
But what could have been yet another exercise in warm salmon and cold speeches turned out to be refreshingly moving and honest. Janine Lowy introduced her husband as a man devoted to his four children, to the Jewish community, to civic involvement and, somehow, amid it all, to "finding the time to run a small business."
Janine Lowy, an experienced lawyer herself, also noted her husband's other considerable quality: his charm. Indeed, nearing 50, Lowy has most of the hair he left his 20s with. He has blue eyes, an athletic build and a disarming amount of laid-back Aussie ease for a man on that L.A. Business Journal list.
When it was Lowy's turn to speak, after a moving tribute to his wife, he showed the charm -- and brashness.
He announced the night had raised more than $4 million, and that in addition the UJ would be receiving two mega-gifts: $32 million with the help of Bruce Whizin, for whose parents the Department of Continuing Education will be renamed the Whizin Center for Continuing Education, and an anonymous donation of $18 million for the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies. These gifts would come not over time, but all at once. That's the kind of local mega-donation that the community needs. But, Lowy said, it doesn't come easily.
"During my tenure as chairman there is a critical issue that I have come across and would like to talk about this evening," he said.
"Unfortunately, the professionalism, financial acumen, and governance procedures that I see at many of our communal organizations leaves a lot to be desired.
Every time a donor in our community gives a large donation to a non-Jewish institution, there are pages of editorials in the Jewish press asking why this is happening. There is then a tendency to blame the donors for neglecting their own community."
"While sometimes this may be true, what we really need to do is look inward and ask ourselves: 'Are our communal institutions capable not only of soliciting large donations, but of properly accepting them?' When I look at our Jewish donor base, I see extremely successful individuals, or families, who are ready to donate -- I would call it invest -- large sums within the wider community. To do so, the donors expect the highest level of financial stewardship, corporate governance, operational expertise, and transparency."
"When we in the Jewish community take a good hard look at ourselves, can we honestly say that our institutions meet that standard? Do we aspire to the standards of major institutions in the city such as USC, UCLA, or LACMA, for example -- all of which benefit from major investments from members of our own community? If we look at the actions of the major Jewish philanthropists, the answer must be no! Even when our donors do invest large sums in the community they are often setting up their own new organizations, not investing in the current ones."
"I believe that if we work to apply the best practices from corporate America and institute a level of professionalism, corporate governance, transparent reporting practices and financial skills, that will go a long way to convince donors that their communal investments will be used appropriately and effectively."
It wasn't the usual sort of you're-all-so-wonderful blather you hear at most of these events. It was you-all-can-do-better.
One reason Lowy can say this is he and Janine are hands-on donors. In addition to the UJ, Lowy sits on the board of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. She is on the educational cabinet of Pressman Academy and the board of Camp Ramah. It's not just the mega-money, it's the mega-hours.
Lowy's success at the UJ offers a few lessons, and a quandary. "It proves a few things," Wexler said. "One, that boards should make way for youthful leadership and diversity. Two, that breaking denominational barriers pays off. And three, that megadonors can have a mega-impact on their community."
And, I'll add, it raises a vexing chicken-and-egg dilemma: often it takes the deep involvement of donors like Lowy to help shape an institution to the point where it can attract other donors like the Lowys.
So, who's next?

To us here at Home and Living Examiner, life is a series of organization rules, clutter culling, and figuring out what's important. And it gets more evident as we are growing older that by simplifying our lives and getting rid of stuff, we are more apt to do more of what we want instead of being caretakers for things.
That's why our subscription to ShopSmart is so welcome. The March 2014 issue has some of the best organization ideas and how certain products helped frustrated women take more control. ShopSmart was nice enough to let us present some of the story and they also sent along photos that may inspire you to get more control.
Closet clutter is under control
THE problem
Three generations of die-hard shoppers—and all of their stuff—under one roof. That's the organizing challenge that Kate S. Brown, the owner of Impact Organizing in Sarasota, Fla., was presented with as her client downsized to move in with her daughter and granddaughter. To help her client decide what to keep, toss, and donate, Brown marked items with color-coded super-sticky notes. The decision-making method worked so well that all three women adopted it as an organizing tool to help them prune their closets regularly to keep them from overflowing.
The SOLUTION
Post-it super sticky full adhesive notes, $7.50 per 12-pack, assorted colors, staples.com
Why it Works
Two years later, Brown's client still relies on her stickies. She keeps pads in her dresser, her kitchen drawer, and her granddaughter's playroom. Here's how she uses them: Pink is "keep," blue is "donate," and green is "sell." Notes are just stuck onto items—clothing, toys, sports equipment. No other action is needed. When someone is going to Goodwill, a quick glance pinpoints the items to be donated. When it's time for the annual garage sale, any items with a green sticky will be sold.
When I see something with a blue sticky slapped on it, I know it's going with me to Goodwill—and not back in the closet!
Dressing in the morning is easier
THE problem
Julie Morgenstern, an organizing pro based in New York City, worked with a client who wanted to project a more polished work image. But she was having difficulty just getting herself dressed and out the door in the morning. Although Morgenstern helped the woman edit her wardrobe, the aha moment didn't come until they organized her jewelry, not her clothing.
The SOLUTION
Umbra Little Black Dress jewelry organizer, $20, bedbathandbeyond.com.
Why it Worked
Finding the right place for her accessories was the key. Morgenstern's client had kept all of her jewelry in tiny, individual boxes in a dresser drawer. Who has time for that? So they worked together to display all of her jewelry where she got dressed— in her closet. "The jewelry organizer is thinner than a garment bag, so it takes up no space hanging in the closet," says Morgenstern, author of "Organizing From the Inside Out" (Holt Paperbacks, 2004).
Now her client can build an outfit around one piece of jewelry, or she can just pull an outfit together from her closet in an instant. "It transformed how she presented herself," Morgenstern says.
OMG! I rediscovered pieces of jewelry that I forgot about. It was like going shopping in my closet.

Cardamom Cookies RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 2 cups butter, softened
- 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
- 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
- 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, cardamom and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts.
- Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15-17 minutes.
- Roll warm cookies in remaining confectioners' sugar. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 6 dozen.
Reviews for Cardamom Cookies
"I made these for my cookie exchange the other day. They were easy to make. I did make sure to scrape the bowl several times to make sure all the batter was mixed. Once I was done making the batter, I refrigerated it for about 15 minutes to harden so it would be easier to roll in balls. After they baked, I would put them in a bowl of powdered sugar and then sprinkle them with a powdered sugar shaker. Mine didn't flatten. Everybody liked them."
"This recipe was my first time trying cardamom, and I LOVED how these cookies tasted. They came out flat instead of round like the picture, but otherwise were perfect. I love the buttery nutty flavor, and so did everyone else, because they were gone within a day! Definitely one of my favorite holiday recipes."
"I, too, likIe cardamom. I followed the recipe and thought the cookies tasted good, but were not quite as pretty as the picture. Mine flattened a little and I had some trouble getting the sugar to stick to the outside. Still, I would make them again."
"I have a new favorite holiday cookie - YUMMY!! Please note: I am a huge cardamom fan.I used toasted hazelnuts rather than walnuts, but almonds would work well, too (as I am not a walnut person).Did end up with about 4 cookies worth of dough at the bottom of the pan that was too dry to roll, but still ended up with about 40 cookies.These little delights were buttery, rich and super flavorful - perfect with tea."

Earth Centered Spirituality- A New Age of Paganism!Sun, December 17, 2006 - 11:12 AM
Indo-European roots meaning one who lives close to nature. In this
sense, even Jesus Christ was a pagan. It was written that Jesus went
into the wilderness often, and encouraged his followers to do
likewise. Jesus knew living close to nature gives a person a sense of
connectedness to the land and can provide insight to some of the
great mysteries of life.
The mysteries of life are timeless and many religions have been
built around the idea that these can be taught and "dogmatized."
Today, we see people from various religions (including Christian,
Jewish and Muslim) seeking a way to connect with nature and learn
her secrets by seeking the "old ways". The old ways are those that
date back to a pre-christian era and include traditions which have
been passed down over the centuries as part of the cultural
traditions of indigenous peoples throughout the world.
Indigenous peoples and their cultural traditions include every
continent and people. These cultural traditions have intrinsic
qualities that help those who learn them connect with the earth
upon which they live. In the United States, we are seeing a new
age of paganism.
People of all religious faiths are learning these "pagan" traditions
to help them reconnect with Mother Nature. These people are
being referred to as "pagans" or "neopagans", though they haven't
necessarily "given up" their religion to become pagan. Rather, they
are incorporating these earth-based traditions and concepts into
their belief systems to give a sense of wholeness and connectedness
to their lives.
Many of these earth-based traditions lend themselves to a
heightened sense of spirituality. The Sweat Lodge or the Vision
Quest are practiced by indigenous peoples throughout the world and
are examples of these practices.
By participating in these traditions we not only feel a sense of
connectedness with the earth, we also learn about the diversity of
those who share the planet. It is a beautiful experience to meet
and experience diversity with the understanding that it is natural
and can bring harmony to each of our lives. Human diversity can be
modeled after the diversity we see in nature. Nature abounds with
diversity and is strengthened by it. Appreciating human diversity
can strengthen us as well. Pagan traditions serve to emphasize our
relationships with nature and each other and stregthen our bonds.
Understanding this makes us more open and accepting of these
traditions and the differences we find in those who share this planet.
One group which promotes this form of paganism is the Earth Gatherings.
The Earth Gatherings is a group of diverse individuals who plan events
which celebrate the seasonal changes (and these are open to the public).
The group shares common goals for their events;
1. to connect with Mother Nature
2. to connect with each other
3. to promote indigenous cultures
4. to have fun
Two of these events,the Mother Earth Gathering (Summer Solstice)
and the Middle Earth Gathering (Autumnal Equinox), provide the
opportunity to for people to gather, appreciate diversity, and bring
peace and harmony through understanding into our lives. We share,
discuss, teach, lead, contemplate and work together to become
better stewards of the planet on which we live.
We do not expect people to give up who they are and what
they believe. We only ask that people come and share our
experience with respect for the traditions and beliefs of others.
This, we hope, will lead to world progress through understanding
and will nurture our relationships with each other and Mother Nature.
It will bring a heightened sense of belonging and connectedness to
each other and the land upon which we live. It may even help
people understand the timeless mysteries which many of our spiritual
teachers throughout time have tried to teach us. This new age of
paganism can provide tools to help us better understand and live in
our world.
