Tom Brady says he got a little push from 'very composed' Robert Kraft to wear his knee brace
|08.19.13 at 5:23 pm ET
FOXBORO — Like a father keeping on his child to wear their retainer after braces, Patriots owner Robert Kraft apparently wants to make sure Tom Brady is wearing his protective brace on his reconstructed left knee – just in case.
On Monday, after practice, Brady spoke with reporters for the first time since Nate Solder tripped over his quarterback's left knee, causing paranoia and panic throughout New England.
But after getting back up, Brady said he was pretty confident he was going to be OK. That didn't keep his owner from having disastrous thoughts rolling through his mind, though Brady said Kraft was completely composed when talking to him.
"He wasn't panicked," Brady said of Kraft. "No, he's never very panicked. He's always very composed."
Kraft, according to Brady, made a little suggestion.
"Mr. Kraft felt pretty strongly about me wearing it," Brady said. "He said, 'what's the problem?' I said, 'I'll wear it. I'll wear it.' Sometimes when you wear the brace a lot then you get used to wearing the brace. I like to keep a nice strong leg. If it wasn't strong, then something bad would have happened.
Does an experience like last Wednesday change his thinking on wearing the brace at practice going forward?
"I had it today, so everyone was very pleased," Brady said, obviously referring to the man who cuts his paycheck.
So, it appears, Brady will wear the black supportive brace on his left knee anytime the Patriots are in pads in practice. He has worn the brace regularly in games since the injury in the 2008 season opener.
Last Wednesday, according to Brady, was fortunately nothing more than just a scary flashback.
"Anytime you go down it's a little scary, but that's the sport," Brady said. "It happens in the games, it happens in practice and I'm certainly not the first or the last to have it happen. I'm fortunate that it wasn't very bad, so like I said I was able to get treatment and get back out on the field with my teammates and get back to work.
While he says he didn't follow the panic in the media about his knee, he was made aware of the attention through texts, calls and emails, and he understands the hype.
"Sure, and I hate to do that because I don't want to make a big fuss about it," Brady said. "But at that time I didn't have too much of a choice, so you just roll with it. It wasn't my decision. It's nice to go out there and play and go out and play against a good team in Tampa. We had good days of practice and now we come back to our own practices and get focused on Detroit because that's kind of what we have to do now. It was a good day of practice and everyone's getting into game mode. It's been fun to play two back-to-back games and we've got another one that's happening quickly on a short week. I'm excited to get out there and play.
"I just have never really worn it for practice."
Brady felt pretty confident right away that it wasn't a serious issue.
"As soon as I got inside and had our trainers get a chance to look at it," Brady said. "There're a lot worse injuries that I've had and a lot of guys have played with far worse. Like I said, I felt bad that it got the attention that it did because a lot of guys deal with a lot of stuff on a daily basis. I'm just lucky to be out here. After what happened to me in 2008, I love coming out to practice and playing and nothing is as exciting as that for me, so I take every day and I enjoy it because there is no place I'd rather be."
Here is the remainder of Brady's 10-minute Q & A with reporters after Monday's practice outside Gillette Stadium:
Q: Do the numbers and the results in these first two games reflect the way you feel you've been playing this preseason?
A: Well yeah, and it's about team football. It's about our whole team being on the same page and the anticipation of what we're trying to do as an offense. Offensive football is always about 11 guys being on the same page. We've done a decent job of that the first two weeks in the preseason and those are good test runs for us. And we have another one. It's all build up for one thing, and that's the opener. This week it's Detroit and we're going to try to see if we can work hard to be on the same page so we can go out and produce against Detroit. They've got a very good team, a very challenging front and it will be a big test.
Q: Do you look at those numbers and results as a gauge of yourself and when you think you're ready for the season? Or are there other milestones in your mind you want to hit before you're ready?
A: We're just going through the days of practice. You don't wish these practices away; you need these practices to develop the team, develop your conditioning and your toughness and all of these things. You just take it day by day. You don't try to overlook teams or preseason games or [say] 'Am I ready? Am I not ready? Should I rest? Should I not rest?' I mean, every team reports at the same time. Every team's got four preseason games except for the two teams that play in the Hall of Fame game and they get five, so they get a little more preparation. So it's good to get the game prep and it's good to get the pressure of another team and see different fronts and coverages and blitz packages and different situations. It's all helpful. You can never have enough practice and that's how I feel. I approach practice very seriously.
Q: How much can you emphasize to the young players who haven't gone through a preseason that you really haven't seen all of what they will try to do in season?
A: You try to tell them. You tell that to everybody. Coach tells that to all of us. Look, we're not showing everything that we do, just like every other team's not showing what they're going to do. There are some things that you want to keep close to the vest and that's just how football is. Part of it is putting together a game plan and you have things that you already know you do well that we practice that we don't use. That's just what football's all about. And you do that every week, so you try to figure out what a team does well, what a team doesn't do well, and then game plan around that.
Q: Do you start trying to anticipate those things that maybe a Buffalo or a Jets team might do?
A: Sure, yeah. You always have an idea of what they're going to do. It usually plays itself out pretty quickly when you get out on the field. There's one thing about scouting reports and percentages and 'this team is a 50 percent blitz team' ' but when you're out there playing, you're reacting. You can't come off the field and go 'Coach, you said they were only going to blitz 15 percent of the time but they blitzed twice in a row.' You know? You just go with what you see. So it's good to have those things in your mind and study for them, especially on a week like this. There's a lot of emphasis always put on the third preseason game and everyone's going to play long. But it's just more of a ' you feel like you're in a little bit of a game plan week and you want to go out and you want to do well. Even though it's not going to overall count in your standings, obviously they're all important games in preparation for the season.
Q: You said you felt bad about the fuss last week. Did you follow it? Did you go home or to your hotel room and did you follow it on TV, newspaper, Twitter?
A: I didn't, no. I just got a bunch of calls and emails, and there were a lot of people that took time out of their day which was pretty thoughtful and I appreciate it, but I just wish it wasn't under those circumstances.
Q: Do you ever feel like you're ready for the season? Is it after week four, or is it this third week that's kind of that important week? Do you ever feel ready or do you feel just like 'one day at a time, one practice at a time'?
A: I think it's that. I always feel like I can do more and prepare more and study more and work more, get better footwork and throwing mechanics and timing. So as much time as I can get, I'll take. We've got two games and so it's coming quickly. We've been at camp now for quite a while, we're still in camp, so we've just got to be able to keep plugging away.
Q: It's about the middle of training camp ' do you have a better idea of where the offense is? You've got a lot of young pieces out there in Zach Sudfeld, Kenbrell Thompkins, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce; how are the young guys coming along compared to some of the young guys you've worked with in the past?
A: They've got a lot of opportunity, that's the thing. They've been there a lot, much more opportunity than some guys get in certain years when you have a lot of veteran players at certain positions. The more opportunity, the better you get. They had a lot of opportunity the other night, KT and Aaron and Josh at the receiver position, with Danny [Amendola], what Julian [Edelman]'s been able to do coming back from his injury, and Sudfeld, he's had a lot of opportunity. Guys are trying to make the most of it, find their role, and as you see on a daily basis, guys that keep making plays keep making plays. You love seeing that.
Q: They call this the dress rehearsal week, so is this kind of another checkpoint for those young guys to see how they handle game plan and learning what a defense is doing?
A: I think they're all important. Last week was important, this week is important because it is the week we have. Nothing's going to simulate what happens on opening day. That has a different feeling than any of these games; that's just the way it is. But this is an important game because it's an important step in our process to see where we're at as a team. We're going on the road, tough environment, we went there a few years ago and didn't do very well, which we've already heard about that for three days now, so we're going to have to do better than we did the last time.
Q: Do you see that talent in these young kids? Are you pretty excited about what you see talent-wise? Obviously they're trying to learn, but what are you seeing from them as they develop?
A: Sure, I think all of them are talented, and in the NFL you have to be talented to make plays on a consistent basis. It's more of the consistency and the dependability. Anybody can go out and make one good play, but if you go out and make a bad play after that, I mean you can't win football games that way. You've got to do it day in and day out, week in week out, and that's how you get to be a good team. That's how you get to be a really good player and you contribute. But the dependability and the more dependable guys you can have the better your team is going to be.
Q: Do they have that maturity? Have you seen that yet?
A: They've worked their butts off to get to this point. I'm not the talent evaluator or scout or anything like that, I just love having them as teammates and have been impressed with their work ethic. Any time I ask them to stay after and throw and to work and talk about routes, that's what we do. So they still want to learn, they still want to get better. Hopefully they want to do that for a real long time.
Q: At this point in camp, given all the new parts involved, are you personally as far along as you were in years past, in terms of development of the offense and working with everybody else? Are you where you want to be?
A: It's hard to say. I'm glad we have this week to prepare, next week, and then the game week. We've got a lot of time before our first game and we're going to need to use all of it. I certainly will use all of it. I like to prepare a certain way, and it doesn't feel like I'm quite ready for that first day. I need all of the days I can get, and we've got three weeks.
Q: What type of challenge do you see from Ndamukong Suh and this Detroit defense?
A: Well, they're all very good. I mean, they've got [Nick] Fairley and Suh [who] are as good as anybody in the league. They're tough, physical, hard-nosed, they play for 60 minutes. We've had preseason games against them. We played against them on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Talk about talent, they've got all the talent in the world, so it'll be a good test for us.

All Things New
Ten Years Later
On the morning of September 12, 2001, I awoke to the sound of sirens.
My first thought, in bleary half-sleep: "Where am I?"
And then I knew.
I looked around at the pale walls of a high rise hotel on Manhattan's west side, and remembered that almost 24 hours earlier, on a blindingly beautiful late summer morning, in the start of an otherwise ordinary day, my country and my city had been attacked. I was in a hotel room because it was impossible for me to get home and there was no place else for me to stay.
I climbed out of bed and looked out the window. It was a gorgeous day, just like the one before. On the sidewalk, a dozen or more stories below, there were people heading to work. I saw a few cars moving down below. And then the sirens got louder. An ambulance? A fire truck? The sound grew and then faded. I picked up my watch from the table by the bed. It was just after 7 a.m.
Most Americans will tell you they remember vividly where they were on 9/11, when they got the news. I was just arriving at my office at CBS News on West 57th Street in Manhattan, where I worked as a writer and producer for "60 Minutes II." When I got off the elevator on the ninth floor, at about 9:30, I noticed a crowd of people huddled in front of a large window, looking south. Something was wrong. I turned right and wandered into my office area. Every TV set, in every office, was on. Within seconds, I knew. We were a few miles north of the World Trade Center. And to the south, we could see the billowing smoke.
We spent the morning staring in disbelief at what was unfolding on TV. Producers gathered in neighboring offices and found a spare seat on a couch crowded with old newspapers and boxes of videotapes, and just sat and watched the TV screen, stunned. Late in the morning, I got the call to report to the newsroom, so I grabbed my shoulder bag and headed across the street. Before I left, I called my wife in Queens, about ten miles away, to tell her what was happening. She said she was on her way to church. A lot of people, it turned out, were doing the same thing. (She told me later that she had grabbed a plastic bag of cheap rosaries that she'd kept stuffed in a drawer, and gave them out at our parish church to anyone who wanted them.)
I told her I loved her and would be in touch.
I wouldn't see her again, or even make it home, for another 36 hours.
I spent most of 9/11 in a television studio, under hot lights, crouched over a computer screen, writing hourly updates for CBS News. Information was scattered, confusing, chaotic. Anchor Dan Rather was on the air 'round-the-clock. The newsroom staff subsisted on warmed-over food from the cafeteria, and bitterly bad coffee. Again and again, we saw the same pictures flicker across the TV screens, the images that would be burned into the world's collective memory: the plumes, the smoke, the collapse. We lost track of time. Afternoon became evening. I remember Dan's opening words on the CBS Evening News that night. It was the only thing that could be said with any certainty: "Good evening. September 11, 2001 is a day you will remember for the rest of your life."

Belle and Sebastian
Before Mumford and Sons were the favourite band of white people, before Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver were the coffee shop music of choice…there were Belle and Sebastian. They are not a Britpop band, nor is it easy to lump them into a particular musical category (although I'm going to do that). They use a lot of vocal harmonies and surreal melodies, they don't generally smash up their gear after playing a great show, and at some point they became an important part of independent music in Scotland and the world. Recording memorable albums, playing shows and festivals around the world, Belle and Sebastian have done things their way. Welcome to a site dedicated to bringing you an insight into one of the most underrated bands of the last twenty years.

Remember when I said: "don't expect Virgin's rivals to be sitting still over this"... well, they weren't.
Less than a week after the announcement of the Virgin DRM free unlimited download service (yes, it doesn't have a name yet), Nokia has revealed it also plans to drop DRM from Comes With Music and its own music download store.
The former would be a helpful and wholly welcome step while the later is simply necessary to guarantee survival (hurry up Nokia!). Currently the Finnish monster uses Microsoft's rather nasty PlayForSure DRM which enables companies to limit the devices content can be played on and even set expiry dates. How 2006.
It is unknown as this stage whether removing DRM from Nokia's existing services will have a knock on regarding price but whatever happens it can't be a sizeable one since there is simply too much competition out there and it's only getting more intense.
So that's Virgin and Nokia behind the unlimited DRM downloads market. Can we have a 'Here, Here' from Amazon, Apple and 7Digital please...?

The Second Part of King Henry VI
€ 10,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juni 1991
BeschreibungShakespeare's plays about the reign of Henry VI, written at the beginning of his career, were for a long time undervalued. This was because of doubts about their authorship and because of the difficulties of determining their theatrical provenance. Recently, however, a series of outstanding productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company and other companies has demonstrated their theatrical vitality, their conventions have been better understood in the light of new critical methods, and their innovative and sceptical questioning of Elizabethan orthodoxies has been viewed in the light of revisionist readings of the history of Shakespeare's own times. The Wars of the Roses haunted the Elizabethans, as is shown by the number of authors who wrote about them. Shakespeare's account was the most ambitious, the most dramatically innovative, and politically the most radical. This is the first major edition for over thirty years of The Second Part of King Henry VI. It takes account of recent discoveries concerning Shakespeare's early career, and pays particular attention to recent theatrical history, relating readings generated by modern performances to new ideologically positioned accounts of the history and politics of Shakespeare's age. As well as concerning itself with the nature of history, the role of conscience, and the relation between law and equity, this edition contains a complex reading of the kind of event that the Tudor regime had cause to fear, a popular uprising, led in this instance by Jack Cade.

Les Petits Plats

Good food and a warm, friendly ambiance make for a great overall experience at Les Petits Plats.
Pros: Fun, cozy, foodie-friendly, great service
Cons: None
I dined at Les Petits Plats on the same day that I lunched at Septime – yes, it's a hard life – and loved them both for different reasons. Septime is hip, modern, all stripped-down concrete, rough wood and metal, with fabulous, star-worthy food. At Les Petits Plats, there were echoes of the dishes we at Septime – while not quite as elaborate and refined, you could sense the generational affinities of the two chefs – but the place has a homier, warmer feel with its wooden furniture, red banquettes, brass railings and wine-laden-shelves. The service, provided by two waitresses and a waiter, was unfailingly warm, friendly and accommodating.
Les Petits Plats' name refers to the fact that diners have the option of ordering small portions of the dishes on the blackboard menu at a lower price and in any combination (no dirty looks if you don't order an entrée, plat, dessert), a truly great idea that I have never before encountered in Paris. Meat-hungry diners can order from a special (but pricey) menu of different cuts of Aubrac beef, which doesn't seem designed to show off the chef's creativity.
My friend Connie and I decided to order normal-sized courses and to share and share alike, trading dishes halfway through. We started with a winner: a chilled "green" soup with fresh brousse, which Connie was sure was going to be a little bush, but which I pronounced to be a sort of Corsican cottage cheese. I was only partly right: the Corsican cheese brocciu is a type of brousse made from goat's or sheep's milk, which has its own appellation d'origine contrôlée, while the ricotta-like brousse is also made in other places in France. In any case, it made a fine, creamy yet slightly solid base for the richly flavored soup, which came in a little carafe next to the bowl containing the brousse, both standing on a small cutting board. The other starter, a tartare of mullet and haddock with baby zucchini, attractively presented with a big zucchini flower on top, was fine, but didn't set off any celebratory chimes.
For our shared main courses, we chose the rich and satisfying ravioles de paleron (beef shoulder palette ravioli) with baby leeks and bone marrow, and supions (squid) a la
plancha with black gnocchi, pourpier (purslane) and preserved lemon. While they were both delicious, it was the supions that had us oohing and aahing, especially over those luscious homemade gnocchi and the powerful tang of the citron confit. Both were served on soup plates with a profusion of fresh herbs.
Dessert did not disappoint, even though we clearly preferred the decadent chocolate and hazelnut tart, accompanied by a decorative smear of white and dark chocolate sauce and a
little pot of heavenly caramel ice cream, all served on a small cutting board, to the worthier strawberry and apricot gazpacho poured over a basil-flavored ice cube and served with a heartwarmingly good pistachio financier.
Our wine was a lovely and unusual Alsatian Pinot Noir (€30) made by Gérard Schueller, suggested by the waiter as an out-of-the-box pairing capable of accommodating the wide variety of dishes we ordered. He was right, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
In terms of creativity, quality and service, I would rate Les Petits Plats almost but not quite as high as Septime, since the food is not quite at the same level of sophistication and perfection. In terms of overall enjoyability, however, it gets 10 out of 10.
Les Petits Plats: 39, rue des Plantes, 75014 Paris. Mètro: Alésia. Tel.: 01 45 42 50 52. Open for lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday. Closed Sunday. Fixed-price lunch menu (two courses, no choice): €15. Fixed-price dinner menu: €35. A la carte: around €37.

We can add another volcano to the list of restless volcanoes today — Jon Frimann noted that Hekla in Iceland is showing some signs of potential activity. Seismic activity at the volcano has prompted the National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police to declare an "uncertainty phase" for Hekla. That translates to the lowest (beyond no activity) level of warning for a restless Icelandic volcano. This change in status is the result of a tight cluster of very small earthquakes (none in the past few days, but you can check this link for updates) since March 10 on the northeast side of the summit ridge. These earthquakes are still relatively deep, occurring at 11-12 km below the volcano — however, these earthquakes don't entirely suggest that new magma is intruding as they appear to reflect brittle fracture of rock rather than dilation due to magma. Coupled with a lack of any signs of ground deformation at Hekla, there are no signs that an eruption is imminent. That being said, this unrest has also prompted the Icelandic Meteorological Office to upgrade the aviation alert status for Hekla to Yellow, mainly due to the unusual nature of this activity at the volcano.
The last eruption at Hekla was in 2000, but they can be spectacular events, with multiple VEI 3 and 4 eruptions over the past century. This current unrest is unusual for Hekla and does not clearly point towards a new eruption — but with any Icelandic volcano, it should be closely watched for changes. If anything does happen, be sure to watch the Hekla webcam pointed at the volcano.

Audiobook – The Unremarkable Heart and Other Stories by Karin Slaughter
>> Friday, September 6, 2013
The Unremarkable Heart and Other Stories by Karin Slaughter
Genre: Short Stories
Publisher: AudioGo
Publication Date: 2012
Length: 4 hours, 13 minutes
Read by: Shannon Cochran
Source: Library
The Short Version:
A collection of six short stories by one of my favorite mystery/suspense authors.
Why I Read It:
When I read that the story The Unremarkable Heart won an Edgar award this year I decided to see if I could find it. My library had this audio available so I decided to give it a try.
The Book:
This book contains 6 short stories. Each of them features a woman or girl at a crossroads in her life.
Cold Cold Heart finds Pam driving across country two years after the death of her husband. She recalls their life together and why after all the horrible things he put her through she seeks her final revenge.
Necessary Women begins as what seems to be a story of survival and overcoming obstacles but takes a sudden and disturbing turn.
The Blessing of Brokenness is about Mary Lou Dixon, who works at Christ Holiness Church. As she's overseeing the repair of the sanctuary's cross, she reflects on her own life. She compares the teachings of her Lay Pastor uncle who preached that brokenness is a blessing because you can be repaired and be stronger with those of the church's current minister who preaches the fear of becoming broken. As Mary Lou's past is revealed the outcome of the story becomes clear before the story actually ends.
The Mean Time is about a twelve year old girl who is at what she later recalls as her 'mean time' of life. Her uncle is taking her and her cousins into town where she'll learn the meaning of regret.
The Truth About Pretty Girls is what Jude Hanson is thinking about. She's in her 40's and has returned to the home town in Georgia she never thought she'd see again.
The Unremarkable Heart is the story that won an Edgar Award. It's about June who is dying of lung cancer. Her husband is caring for her in her last days. Her memories of her past and her expectations of the process of dying are all she has left except for perhaps a final bit of truth.
My Thoughts:
All of these stories feature strong women of varying ages. They are all at an important moment or crossroads in their lives.
Karin Slaughter can write downright disturbing stuff and while not all of these stories have a gruesome or twisted element, most of them do so consider yourself forewarned.
I found a couple of these (Necessary Women and The Unremarkable Heart) particularly difficult to listen to. Both left me reeling and quite disturbed.
This was the first time I'd listened to Shannon Cochran. I'm not an expert in Southern accents but this collection of stories required her to attempt a variety of them and I know that's not an easy task. I would definitely listen to her again.
Rating 4/5 for the book
Rating 4.5/5 for the narration

The Well-Rounded Adjunct: Moonlighting
By Helene A. Matheny
When I returned to the United States from my graduate studies in London in 1998, I knew I wanted to teach, but didn't really yet know how to find adjunct work. In the meantime, I needed some income! By strange fate, I happened to see a want ad for "planetarium instructor/director" in one of the local newspapers. Astronomy was the farthest thing from my graduate degree (Russian History and Literature), however the cosmos was one of my childhood passions and, coincidentally, I had worked in the local high school planetarium while in Middle School. Needless to say, I was hired, and although the little county-run facility, Trailside Nature and Science Center , had not upgraded its equipment since the 1980s, I relied on my creativity and flexibility to present shows and educational programs to school groups, scouts and the public. In the end, this job ended up preparing me to be an adjunct – as the bare bones environment helped to hone my organizational and improvisational skills. (They sadly have since closed the little planetarium in the center).

Chapter 31
|1Now it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
|אוַיְהִי בְּאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָיָה דְבַר יְהֹוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹר:
|2"Son of man, say to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?
|בבֶּן אָדָם אֱמֹר אֶל פַּרְעֹה מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם וְאֶל הֲמוֹנוֹ אֶל מִי דָּמִיתָ בְגָדְלֶךָ:
|Whom are you like in your greatness: In your haughtiness against Me, whom did you think to resemble?
|3Behold Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches, shady woods, and of tall stature, and among the interwoven branches was its lofty top.
|גהִנֵּה אַשּׁוּר אֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יְפֵה עָנָף וְחֹרֶשׁ מֵצַל וּגְבַהּ קוֹמָה וּבֵין עֲבֹתִים הָיְתָה צַמַּרְתּוֹ:
|Behold Assyria: which I have already cast down.
|a cedar in Lebanon: it was
|shady woods: A forest that covers, [making] a great shade.
|and among the interwoven branches: the green trees.
|its lofty tops: [Heb. צַמַּרְתּוֹ,] cime in French, top.
|4Water nurtured it; the deep made it grow tall; [each of] its rivers flows around its planting, and its canals it sent forth to all the trees of the field.
|דמַיִם גִּדְּלוּהוּ תְּהוֹם רֹמְמָתְהוּ אֶת נַהֲרֹתֶיהָ הֹלֵךְ סְבִיבוֹת מַטָּעָהּ וְאֶת תְּעָלֹתֶיהָ שִׁלְחָה אֶל כָּל עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה:
|Water nurtured it; the deep made it grow tall: [Jonathan paraphrases:] Among nations he is great; because of his supporters he is powerful; he subjugates kings under his kingdom, and he appoints rulers over every state of the earth. The Midrash Aggadah (Pesikta Rabbathi 34:11, Meir Ayin 33) [states]: "and among the interwoven branches was its lofty top." Whence did he merit greatness? Because 1) he withdrew from the counsel of the generation of separation, as it is said (Gen. 10: 11): "Out of that land Asshur went forth. " When all those who came upon the world formed one league to enter counsel to rebel against Him, then his lofty top was visible by itself, and [he] did not link himself with them."Water nurtured him; the [waters of the] deep raised him up" and because 2) he hearkened to the voice of Jonah the son of Amittai, who descended into the [waters of the] deep, and the people of Nineveh repented of the violence that was in their hands.
|its canals: [Heb. תְּעָלתֶיהָ,] fosses in French, ditches, canals.
|to all the trees of the field: to water them. The symbol is as the Targum of Jonathan interprets it: Behold the Assyrians were like the cedars of Lebanon, etc., as above.
|5Therefore, its height became taller than all the trees of the field, and its boughs multiplied, and its branches grew long because of abundant waters when it sent forth.
|העַל כֵּן גָּבְהָא קֹמָתוֹ מִכֹּל עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה וַתִּרְבֶּינָה סַרְעַפֹּתָיו וַתֶּאֱרַכְנָה פֹארֹתָיו (כתיב פֹארֹתָו) מִמַּיִם רַבִּים בְּשַׁלְּחוֹ:
|its boughs: [Heb. סַרְעַפֹּתָיו,]
|its branches: [Heb. פֹארֹתָיו.]
|because of abundant waters when it sent forth: its branches through the abundant waters. When it sent forth its branches, i.e., when it grew its branches, and the expression "sending" applies to them, as "and sent forth branches."
|6In its boughs all birds of the heavens nested, and under its branches all beasts of the field gave birth, and in its shade all the many nations sat.
|ובִּסְעַפֹּתָיו קִנְנוּ כָּל עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתַחַת פֹּארֹתָיו יָלְדוּ כֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה וּבְצִלּוֹ יֵשְׁבוּ כֹּל גּוֹיִם רַבִּים:
|In its boughs: [Heb. בִּסְעַפֹתָיו.]
|nested: [Heb. קִנְנוּ,] from the word קֵּן, nest.
|7And it became beautiful in its stature, in the length of its tendrils, for its roots were upon abundant waters.
|זוַיִּיף בְּגָדְלוֹ בְּאֹרֶךְ דָּלִיּוֹתָיו כִּי הָיָה שָׁרְשׁוֹ אֶל מַיִם רַבִּים:
|And it became beautiful: [Heb. וַיִיף,] an expression of beauty (יֹפִי).
|its tendrils: [Heb. דָּלִיוֹתָיו.] They too are an expression used for branches: [those] that extend lengthwise in every direction, like the tendrils of a vineyard, ses treilles in French, its climbing vines.
|8Cedars did not dim it in the garden of God: junipers did not equal its boughs, and chestnut trees were not like its branches; no tree in the garden of God equaled it in its beauty.
|חאֲרָזִים לֹא עֲמָמֻהוּ בְּגַן אֱלֹהִים בְּרוֹשִׁים לֹא דָמוּ אֶל סְעַפֹּתָיו וְעַרְמֹנִים לֹא הָיוּ כְּפֹרֹאתָיו כָּל עֵץ בְּגַן אֱלֹהִים לֹא דָמָה אֵלָיו בְּיָפְיוֹ:
|did not dim it: They did not dim its form; i.e., none among them surpassed it in beauty.
|in the garden of God: i.e., in the entire world.
|and chestnut trees: [Heb. ועֲרְמֹנִים,] chastaniyers, chastaneyrs in Old French [chataigniers in Modern French].
|9I made it beautiful with its many tendrils, and all the trees of Eden, which are in the garden of God, envied it.
|טיָפֶה עֲשִׂיתִיו בְּרֹב דָּלִיּוֹתָיו וַיְקַנְאֻהוּ כָּל עֲצֵי עֵדֶן אֲשֶׁר בְּגַן הָאֱלֹהִים:
|all the trees of Eden: i.e., all the praiseworthy kings.
|10Therefore, so said the Lord God: Because you grew haughty with your height, and it placed its lofty top among interwoven branches, and its heart became haughty with its height,
|ילָכֵן כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר גָּבַהְתָּ בְּקוֹמָה וַיִּתֵּן צַמַּרְתּוֹ אֶל בֵּין עֲבוֹתִים וְרָם לְבָבוֹ בְּגָבְהוֹ:
|Because you grew haughty with your height: So I said to Assyria.
|11I delivered it into the hands of the strongest of nations, that he execute [My will] upon him: according to his wickedness I banished him.
|יאוְאֶתְּנֵהוּ בְּיַד אֵיל גּוֹיִם עָשׂוֹ יַעֲשֶׂה לוֹ כְּרִשְׁעוֹ גֵּרַשְׁתִּיהוּ:
|into the hands of the strongest of nations: into the hands of the harshest of nations; I gave him into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, as the master said (Seder Olam, ch. 24; Meg. 11b; Arachin 12a): In his first year, he conquered Nineveh.
|that he execute upon him: [that] Nebuchadnezzar [execute upon him] in accordance with all My wishes.
|12And strangers, the strong of the nations, cut it off and cast it down; on the mountains and in all the valleys its tendrils fell, and its branches were broken in all the channels of the earth, and all the peoples of the earth went down from its shade and abandoned it.
|יבוַיִּכְרְתֻהוּ זָרִים עָרִיצֵי גוֹיִם וַיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ אֶל הֶהָרִים וּבְכָל גֵּאָיוֹת נָפְלוּ דָלִיּוֹתָיו וַתִּשָּׁבַרְנָה פֹרֹאתָיו בְּכֹל אֲפִיקֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיֵּרְדוּ מִצִּלּוֹ כָּל עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וַיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ:
|cast it down: [Heb. וַיִטְשֻּׁהוּ,] and they cast it down to the earth, like (Num. 11:31): "and let them down (וַיִטשּׁ) upon the camp."
|13Upon its carcass all the fowl of the heaven rested, and upon its branches were all the beasts of the field.
|יגעַל מַפַּלְתּוֹ יִשְׁכְּנוּ כָּל עוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם וְאֶל פֹּרֹאתָיו הָיוּ כֹּל חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה:
|Upon its carcass… rested: as the Targum paraphrases: Upon the carcass of his slain.
|14In order that all the water trees should not become haughty with their height, and they should not place their lofty tops among the interwoven branches, and all that drink water should not stand over them with their height, for all of them were given to death, to the nether parts of the earth, among the sons of men with those who descend into the Pit.
|ידלְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִגְבְּהוּ בְקוֹמָתָם כָּל עֲצֵי מַיִם וְלֹא יִתְּנוּ אֶת צַמַּרְתָּם אֶל בֵּין עֲבֹתִים וְלֹא יַעַמְדוּ אֵלֵיהֶם בְּגָבְהָם כָּל שֹׁתֵי מָיִם כִּי כֻלָּם נִתְּנוּ לַמָּוֶת אֶל אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי אָדָם אֶל יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר:
|water trees: which are tender and frail, but have numerous and long branches because of the moisture of the water, should not compare themselves to the cedars of Eden; i.e., he should not have been haughty over Israel and should not have stood over them.
|among the interwoven branches: They should not haughtily compare their might - the trees that drink water to the interwoven trees.
|15So said the Lord God: On the day he descended into the Grave, I caused mourning; I covered the deep on his account, I withdrew its rivers, abundant waters stopped; I darkened the Lebanon because of him, and all the trees of the field swooned over him.
|טוכֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה בְּיוֹם רִדְתּוֹ שְׁאֹלָה הֶאֱבַלְתִּי כִּסֵּתִי עָלָיו אֶת תְּהוֹם וָאֶמְנַע נַהֲרוֹתֶיהָ וַיִּכָּלְאוּ מַיִם רַבִּים וָאַקְדִּר עָלָיו לְבָנוֹן וְכָל עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה עָלָיו עֻלְפֶּה:
|On the day he descended into the Grave: When I humbled the king of Assyria into the hands of his enemy.
|I caused mourning: [I caused] many mourners who relied on him [to mourn] over him.
|I covered the deep on his account: I covered the deep because of him, for it was accustomed to water him and cause his growth, as Scripture stated above (verse 4): "the deep made it grow tall." That day, I covered it so that it should not ascend and extinguish his fire. i.e., I weakened his aids.
|I withdrew its rivers: which were flowing around its planting.
|abundant waters stopped: [The waters] that used to make its branches grow long, as he said above (verse 5): "and its branches grew long because of abundant waters."
|and I darkened: the Lebanon because of him. [Heb. וָאַקְדִיר,] from an expression for blackness.
|and all the trees of the field: to which his channels were sent, as stated above.
|swooned over him: Because of him, their moisture ceased, as a person who swoons and whose spirit flies away [i.e., he loses consciousness]; pasmer in Old French, to faint, to swoon. [pamer in Modern French.]
|16From the sound of his fall I made the nations quake, when I lowered him into the Grave with those who descend into the Pit, and they were consoled in the nether part of the earth, all the trees of Eden, the choice and the best of the Lebanon, all those that drink water.
|טזמִקּוֹל מַפַּלְתּוֹ הִרְעַשְׁתִּי גוֹיִם בְּהוֹרִדִי אֹתוֹ שְׁאֹלָה אֶת יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר וַיִּנָּחֲמוּ בְּאֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית כָּל עֲצֵי עֵדֶן מִבְחַר וְטוֹב לְבָנוֹן כָּל שֹׁתֵי מָיִם:
|and they were consoled in the nether part of the earth: The others who descended to Gehinnom received consolations. They said, "This one is like us also."
|17They too descended into the Grave with him, with those slain by the sword, and his allies, who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations.
|יזגַּם הֵם אִתּוֹ יָרְדוּ שְׁאֹלָה אֶל חַלְלֵי חָרֶב וּזְרֹעוֹ יָשְׁבוּ בְצִלּוֹ בְּתוֹךְ גּוֹיִם:
|and his allies, who dwelt in his shade: [Heb. וּזְרֹעוֹ, lit. and his arm,] and his helpers, who dwelt in his shade.
|18To whom have you likened yourself so with glory and with greatness among the trees of Eden, and you were lowered with the trees of Eden into the nether part of the earth; among the uncircumcised you shall lie with those slain by the sword; that is Pharaoh and all his multitude," says the Lord God.
|יחאֶל מִי דָמִיתָ כָּכָה בְּכָבוֹד וּבְגֹדֶל בַּעֲצֵי עֵדֶן וְהוּרַדְתָּ אֶת עֲצֵי עֵדֶן אֶל אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּית בְּתוֹךְ עֲרֵלִים תִּשְׁכַּב אֶת חַלְלֵי חֶרֶב הוּא פַרְעֹה וְכָל הֲמוֹנוֹ (כתיב הֲמוֹנֹה) נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה:
|To whom have you likened yourself so: You, Pharaoh, to which of the trees of Eden have you likened yourself, who is as great as Assyria in glory and in greatness? Behold you have seen that I lowered him into the Grave, and you too will be lowered with the trees of Eden, with the other strong monarchs.
|into the nether part of the earth: Gehinnom.

We love fish cooked simply in ways that highlight the flavor of the fish itself, but sometimes we have a craving for a dish that's more complex. That's when we go trawling – see what we did there? – for fish recipes with flair, like this tilapia curry recipe that's just exotic enough to appeal to a more refined palette.
- 2 tsp. sesame oil, divided
- 2.5 tsp. minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 c. red or yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 c. green onion (scallions), chopped
- 1.5 tsp. curry powder
- 2 tsp. red curry paste
- .5 tsp. freshly ground cumin
- 4 tsp. soy sauce – low sodium, if desired
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
- 2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 (6 oz.) tilapia fillets
- 4 c. cooked basmati rice, hot
- 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
Preheat your oven's broiler – or you prefer, fire up the grill. Heat half of the sesame oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium flame. Cook garlic and ginger for one minute.
Add the onions and peppers, and cook for an additional minute. Once peppers and onions are just tender, stir in the curry powder, curry paste, and cumin. Cook one more minute.
Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, and coconut milk, then bring to a gentle simmer. Be careful not to boil the curry! Finally, remove the curry mixture from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Brush the tilapia filets with the remaining sesame oil and broil (or grill) in a baking sheet or aluminum foil for seven minutes or until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
To plate, place each filet on a generous scoop of rice and spoon sauce over the fish. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve piping hot.

Jackett explains striker situation
Kenny Jackett admits he may yet consider using striker Kevin Doyle – despite the expectation he may be leaving Molineux – if he feels Wolves need him.
After successive relegations, Doyle is among a group of players whose contract terms are not in keeping with League One football, and Jackett admits he wasn't expecting the popular frontman to remain at the club heading into the season.
There has been speculation about interest in Doyle, now fit again but without match action after a groin injury affected part of his pre-season, but in advance of any deal Jackett is not ruling out calling on the Irishman's services.
"It's probably a little bit of everything with Kevin," says Jackett.
"He is not fully match fit but with the injuries now it will become an interesting one in terms of him coming in and being able to contribute.
"In terms of Kevin in general, his wages are too high for where we are and that is common knowledge.
"Between now and the end of the window there will be interest in him.
"But in the meantime he is not someone who I am necessarily going to close the door on if he is right and available for selection and the team need him.
"In summing up, he is not someone we will necessarily overlook but there is the situation where I haven't been planning with him bhecause of the expectation that he will not be here.
"There was speculation about him and that seems to have gone a bit quiet.
"Coming into the club he is not a player I necessarily planned or thought would really be around and so I was focusing on other people.
"When you suddenly then pick up a few injuries you have to make sure you use all of your squad if needs be."
In the wake of Saturday's hard-fought opening day draw at Preston, Jackett also answered questions about Doyle, Tongo Doumbia and Georg Margreitter joining Roger Johnson, Jamie O'Hara and Stephen Ward in training away from the first team group in advance of the fixture.
He said he was keen to work with the 20 players he knew would be making the trip to Deepdale.
"The first team group trained the last couple of days before the game with 20 players who were travelling," Jackett explained.
"That was the 20 and looks like it may be cut to 17 now (with injuries).
"Those players weren't involved on Saturday or in the game at Chasetown on Friday night so they trained separately.
"We will see and assess what happens now when we get back in.
"It's where the club is at that I am going to be asked about players who are not involved but I will continue to make that assessment as we go along.
"They are big name players and perhaps expensive players and that is part of the equation at present."

what to do when my dog has heartworms
what do i do when my dog has heartworms? can i save him?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
My dog had heartworm when I adopted him in March '09. It is a devastating diagnosis, to be sure. But depending on his age and overall health, treatment is available and is quite successful. It's a long (3 months or more, depending on how far along he is) and expensive (in our case, the total was about $1,000) treatment. During the course of treatment, your dog will not be able to exercise or do anything that will elevate his heart rate. This is difficult on both the dog AND owner, but again - worth it in the long run. C.J. is completely free of heartworms now and is doing wonderfully. Please feel free to send me a direct message if you want to discuss what treatment is like, etc. It's a tough road, but your dog will thank you for it.

Too add to the above comment, as far as the expense goes, many vets will let you pay in installments. Talk to your vet about this. Most understand that we love our dogs and want to give them a chance to live, and they will work with you.
Goodluck to you and your dog
Hector answered on 2/11/10. Helpful? / 0
Let the vet help him. There is some things they can do the first thing that they may do is do some x-rays to see how bad the heart is infested. Then they will look at the dogs overall condition.
The treatment of course is expensive. But, if you have to get two opinions if the one vet is saying no there is nothing they can do. Another vet may be more experienced in the treatment field then another vet who has none. good luck.

Two on a Tower HTML version
Chapter 25
Meanwhile the interior of Welland House was rattling with the progress of the
ecclesiastical luncheon.
The Bishop, who sat at Lady Constantine's side, seemed enchanted with her
company, and from the beginning she engrossed his attention almost entirely.
The truth was that the circumstance of her not having her whole soul centred on
the success of the repast and the pleasure of Bishop Helmsdale, imparted to her,
in a great measure, the mood to ensure both. Her brother Louis it was who had
laid out the plan of entertaining the Bishop, to which she had assented but
indifferently. She was secretly bound to another, on whose career she had
staked all her happiness. Having thus other interests she evinced to-day the
ease of one who hazards nothing, and there was no sign of that preoccupation
with housewifely contingencies which so often makes the hostess hardly
recognizable as the charming woman who graced a friend's home the day
before. In marrying Swithin Lady Constantine had played her card,--recklessly,
impulsively, ruinously, perhaps; but she had played it; it could not be withdrawn;
and she took this morning's luncheon as an episode that could result in nothing
to her beyond the day's entertainment.
Hence, by that power of indirectness to accomplish in an hour what strenuous
aiming will not effect in a life-time, she fascinated the Bishop to an
unprecedented degree. A bachelor, he rejoiced in the commanding period of life
that stretches between the time of waning impulse and the time of incipient
dotage, when a woman can reach the male heart neither by awakening a young
man's passion nor an old man's infatuation. He must be made to admire, or he
can be made to do nothing. Unintentionally that is how Viviette operated on her
Lady Constantine, to external view, was in a position to desire many things, and
of a sort to desire them. She was obviously, by nature, impulsive to indiscretion.
But instead of exhibiting activities to correspond, recently gratified affection lent
to her manner just now a sweet serenity, a truly Christian contentment, which it
puzzled the learned Bishop exceedingly to find in a warm young widow, and
increased his interest in her every moment. Thus matters stood when the
conversation veered round to the morning's confirmation.
'That was a singularly engaging young man who came up among Mr.
Torkingham's candidates,' said the Bishop to her somewhat abruptly.
But abruptness does not catch a woman without her wit. 'Which one?' she said
'That youth with the "corn-coloured" hair, as a poet of the new school would call
it, who sat just at the side of the organ. Do you know who he is?'
In answering Viviette showed a little nervousness, for the first time that day.
'O yes. He is the son of an unfortunate gentleman who was formerly curate here,-
-a Mr. St. Cleeve.'

Super smooth ride. Lots of power and torque with the trusty 4.9 L.
I've only got 31,000 miles, but it has needed nothing except a radio fix due to a faulty circuit board. There are stories on this Forum of cars like mine getting 150,000 miles with no problems other than routine maintenance. There is one with 279,000 miles from this forum and the 4.9 was still running strong when I last talked to him!
If these cars are maintained and cared for they shouldn't be much of a risk if you pick up an older one.
Things to watch for might be the air shocks in rear, and make sure the coolant was changed often along with the supplemental GM pellets/tablets.

Town Square
Original post made by Stay Classy Republicans, Del Prado, on Jul 29, 2010
Web Link
by Steve Benen
GOP OPPOSES MEDICAL FUNDING FOR 9/11 VICTIMS.... I was under the impression that the emergency teams who responded to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 are considered American heroes. The nation's support for these men and women is unequivocal and unending.
At least, that was my impression. I guess I underestimated congressional Republicans again.
House Republican leadership is advising its members to vote against a bipartisan bill that would, among other things, bolster medical support to Sept. 11 victims.
The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009, sponsored by New York City Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D), provides medical monitoring to those exposed to toxins at Ground Zero, bolsters treatment at specialized centers for those afflicted by toxins on 9/11 and reopens a compensation fund to provide economic loss to New Yorkers.
And it's all paid for by closing a tax loophole on foreign companies with U.S. subsidiaries, Democrats say.
A policy statement from the House GOP leadership believes a victims' compensation fund is too large, and would remain open too long, which in turn creates a "massive new entitlement program" -- and Republicans hate entitlement programs.
As for financing, because the right pretends to care about the deficit, Dems made sure that every penny of the proposal is paid for. This, too, outraged House Republicans, because tax increases, even on foreign companies, even to benefit 9/11 victims, are always evil.
We're left with Republicans, in an election year, taking a bold stand against funding for medical care for 9/11 heroes.

Classless Dem-This has not been voted on, so I'm not sure where you're getting your iformation, but at least a few R's support this bill financially--see this website: Web Link
It would surely get more support were it not a huge bureaucratic boondoggle setting up no less than a dozen new agencies. How much of the money for this bill will actuall make it's way to the folks that need it?

Steve P,
"a huge bureaucratic boondoggle"
I have to hand it to you conservatives. You are always quite creative in trying to rationalize your hypocrisy and heartlessness. It is pretty obvious that republicans are more interested in putting up roadblocks to win elections instead of helping 9/11 victims. The "Party of No" offers no solutions, just fear, anger, and endless hypocrisy.

How about some OBJECTIVE reasoning. ....."" being paid for by closing a tax loophole on foreign companies with U.S. subsidiaries"". IF there's a reasonable and justified reason to close a loophole on foreign companies, without harming our balance of trade...then WhY isn't it done today, just to help our desperate financial situation ?? Shouldn't volumes of loopholes be closed daily by Congress, who is responsible for managing our finances,.... just for us ?
Maybe the new fund IS too generous and too long. Only fools sign anything without limits and without end.....and sadly I have known a few chp, fire, and others who DO abuse current costly 'medical leave' payments, etc. I'd sure want to read the fine print carefully, twice, and not EMOTIONALLY sign anything blindly... and certainly not open ended. It should not be an open money pit to pour ALL ailments that ALL HUMANS develop over the course of a NATURAL LIFETIME....that would be very IRRESPONSIBLE.

Objective caution,
You've hit on the heart of the matter. If there's a loophole, why isn't it just closed today? Why is the issue tied to 9/11 victim compensation? So that one party can point to another and say, "Look, you don't support the 9/11 victims!"? It's all a political play. Has nothing to do with what is most beneficial to the public good, but what is most beneficial to the political party.

I was under the impression that the Democrats controlled the Presidency, Senate, and the House of Representatives and they did not need the Republicans for anything which was proven by using reconsillation to pass the healthcare bill right? The article above is just nothing more than trying to blame someone else for the inability of the Democrats to get anything done..........must be Bush's fault :O)
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Jul 29, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Isn't this the kind of thing where there's a bunch of added on items and that's why the Republicans are 'against' it. The whole article is slanted to make the Republicans look bad. I'm with "hmmmmmmmm" I thought the Democrats had so much political power/control? Why when it's not going their way, they blame the Republicans and/or Bush. Neverbefore, have I seen an administration hang onto blaming the prior administration for its woes. If you don't want the job, don't run!!! And for crying out loud, stop whining and blaming the other guy. It's so old.

I understand why they add in seemingly disparate items (it is part of the negotiation process and happens all the time), but it isn't exactly in the interest of the public good. It allows a "straw man" argument. Web Link
The problem is that such arguments are effective with the populace. So no, one cannot say that the GOP opposes medical funding for 9/11 victims. It can only be said that the GOP opposes the specifics of the bill. It is hoped that a better one can be brought forward.
I'm reminded locally of the PUSD parcel tax campaign, that if you were opposed to it you were characterized as being "anti-children". Hey, propaganda works so it gets used.

See the Republicans can set up a similar argument to try and hurt the Dems.
Web Link
It is really silly season politics, pass a new large entitlement program and claim the GOP wants to kill 9/11 first responders, or propose an amendment to a bill and claim that opposition means the Dems wish for 15% unemployment.
The reality is that neither the GOP nor Dems want to discuss the real issues and fix serious issues like social security reform, immigration reform, and controlling the deficits.
The leftists on this forum who post under snappy names like "Stay Classy Republicans" want to make baseless attacks but don't have any answer for me here

The seemingly unstoppable rise of LED as an AV illumination source isn't just affecting TVs. It's also ushering in some pretty profound changes to the projection scene.
At one end of the scale you've got jaw-droppingly good high-end projectors from the likes of SIM2 and Vivitek using LED lamps to deliver richer colours and the prospect of never having to change a bulb throughout a projector's lifespan.
At the other end of the scale you've got what we're looking at today: 'Pico' projectors so small they can easily fit into a jacket pocket.
We've looked at one or two of these before - most notably Optoma's ground-breaking but ultimately rather useless PK101, the decent LG HS102, and BenQ's rather handy and splendidly named Joybee GP1.
But their tantalising combination of potentially high utility value and massive gadget-hound appeal means that we're suddenly finding quite a glut of models flooding the market. So much so that we thought the best way to try and catch up with where things are at was to get hold of three current models we hadn't seen before and put them through their paces against the still very much available, once benchmark-setting BenQ Joybee GP1.
The last thing to say before looking at each of our models in turn is that in the process of researching this test, we actually found a contender that didn't use LED lighting. And given its spirit of innovation and the fact that it uses cool-sounding laser technology, we just couldn't resist making it one of our quartet!
NOTE: The screenshots taken to accompany this group test were taken using the same Panasonic Lumix FZ7 camera with the same settings in the same blacked out room using the same projector screen. Two photos were taken: one with 1/4 shutter speed (brighter), one with a 1/15 shutter speed (darker).
