National Obesity Forum president Dr Ian Campbell says the new group will harness a wide range of expertise.
Two thirds of UK adults and 20% of children are overweight or obese. And there are fears the problem could become as bad as it is in the US.
Dr Campbell believes a taskforce would put Britain's increasing weight problem at the top of the health agenda.
The group, which is in its development stages, has a working title of the nutritional and physical activity taskforce.
Its trustees are currently consulting bodies such as the International Obesity Task Force, the National Heart Forum, and Diabetes UK, but Dr Campbell said he hoped it would be up and running by early 2005.
He told BBC News Online: "We've got a situation where we will soon be as bad as the United States, with as many as 30% - one in three adults - being clinically obese.
"The reason why it's so important to reverse that is because of the diseases that it causes.
"Type two Diabetes is set to double by 2010. Heart disease, although we've become more successful at treating it, is occurring in greater frequency.
"The causes of obesity are many. There is no single, simple cause, there is no single, simple solution.
"We need the support of government to give us teeth."
Dartford MP Howard Stoate, also a GP, said: "Doing nothing is not an option.
"The government cannot hope to tackle this alone. In one way or another it affects everybody and everybody has a role to play."
Children's health
Virginia Hill, producer of Fat Nation, a new BBC series which explores how to tackle being overweight,
believes some kind of forum or pressure group "can only do good".
She said: "If we don't do anything about this the next generation will die before their parents.
"Billions of pounds is spent on advertising foods and drinks which aren't good for us, but very little is spent in comparison to get good nutritional advice across to parents and children.
"Most of the parents I've spoken to are very concerned about their children's health and doing the right thing by their kids - they feel they need more information."
Dr Campbell also believes the new taskforce will ultimately save money.
He said: "This is a financial issue because it already costs the government in excess of £3bn a year.
"By turning the problem round and reducing levels of obesity, it may even be that we will reduce those costs - almost in the end actually save money rather than cost money."
Fat Nation - The Big Challenge" begins on 9 September.

Ok... please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this is an unfair trend:
People who are tacking on Paypal fees when selling stuff in the Cargo Hold
This fee is charged to the Seller because it's the cost of recieving payment through their service.... it's not the Buyer's responsibility to pay for this service. That's why there's no option in Paypal to charge this to your Buyer.
If you really don't want to be charged this fee, at least do us the courtesy of just adding 4% to the price you want for the item... let us be in ignorance that you're making us pay for it.
Just my two cents here... (that will be 2.08 cents if you want to pay by Paypal)

ASIN:B002OMDCZ2 Baden Lexum Comp Official Wide Channel Basketball]]Gift for my grandson and he loved it!! It was one of his favorite christmas gifts.

Baden was the name of the ball that was preferred in our High School and AAU programs. An assistant I know bought 4 balls that were made by another company and I purchased 3 of these balls for my AAU team. After comparing the two balls it is obvious that the Baden balls are superbly better in quality. I would of loved to have purchased the gold version that is more pricey, but if you are looking for a good ball in the mid price range, I would suggest that you buy this ball.Many times officials that are looking for a game ball to use during games ask if they can use this ball.

This is the ball my teams used all throughout middle and high school (we called it the 'Lexus coupe'). I've spent literally hundreds of hours dribbling, passing, and shooting it.The first thing you'll notice is that the channels on this ball are much deeper than other balls, and the ball has a great sticky/tacky outer layer. I can't palm other basketballs, but because of the channels and materials used in this I can palm it. To a point guard, having that sort of control and comfort with a ball is phenomenal.There is padding under all of the panels that gives a great shooter's touch and a slightly sharper bounce than non-rubber balls when you're putting spin on a bounce pass. Because of the deep channels and padded panels, you can easily get a feel and place your fingertips in the channels much quicker than other balls to get the proper placement to instantly get into triple threat.It's not affected by sweat late in games like a lot of synthetic balls seem to be.The downside to this ball would be its durability. Definitely don't use this outside unless the court is spotless and dry, and because of the padded panels be sure to keep it away from sharp objects (e.g. trick shots involving the ceiling of a gym, bleachers, or the backboard supports). The panels can be cut relatively easy, and the panels began to peel off on some older balls between the panel and channel (3-4 years old). At the high school level we stored the balls in a makeshift humidor to get a softer touch off the rim; I'm not sure what effect that has on its aging. Under normal circumstances the ball should last for a few years.

A number of bloggers have been mentioning that Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology is online for free. I felt it was a bit suspicious, however, because of the web address that was being shared—it contained only numbers, i.e. in this type of format—126.96.36.199. That is generally not a good sign in a web address. I have deliberately NOT linked to that new site for the following reason:
I have made some inquiries with IVP, the UK publisher, and their initial response is that they are a bit concerned by this development and are looking into it. It is still possible that the site is legitimate and that permission was obtained by someone else within IVP and/or from Zondervan, the USA publisher. This is looking increasingly unlikely, however.
I am sure the rights and wrongs of this will emerge clearly with a bit more time. In the meantime, Christian integrity, not to mention the law of copyright, would require anyone who has innocently visited the site to desist from doing so again, and other bloggers to remove their links which, again, I am sure were innocently posted. If someone who becomes aware of this message has indeed made this file available in such a way without the publisher's permission, they ought to remove it immediately.

Michael Mattis has offered e-commerce companies some tips for optimising landing pages on Yahoo!'s Search Marketing Blog.
Around half of all purchases online are preceded by a search, so making the most of your landing pages is clearly important. Here's a selection of Michael's tips...
Connect the search experience to the landing page
The language on the landing page should match that on the ad that the customer has clicked on to get there, if a customer finds something else on the landing page, they may well choose to click the back button.
Gain trust
An important point - with concern about online fraud it is vital that the customer is reassured by what they see on your landing page. Customers want to see kitemarks, as well as clearly visible contact details and support options.
Ban the bling
Michael recommends that distractions are kept at a minimum. While the landing page should be attractive, don't go overboard with audio, video or revolving logos, and anything which may distract customers from the purchase process.
Michael also suggests that the call to action on a landing page should be more polite than the standard 'buy it now'. He suggests that 'try it now' sounds nicer, though I'm not sure that this wouldn't be confusing for a potential buyer.

We know we're supposed to be 'over' varsity jackets but, as anyone who's noticed our desert boot obsession, when we like something we like it for more than a season. Furthermore, this is more a varsity blazer as opposed to a varsity jacket, which makes the world of difference. (Coggles)

Panel Discusses White House Case for War on 3rd Anniversary of Downing Street Meeting
American Chronicle
By Political Desk
Congresswoman Barbara Lee hosted a Town Hall meeting at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland on Saturday to address the manipulation of pre-war intelligence, the unclassified minutes of the Downing Street meeting, and the war in Iraq.
"There is no more solemn or important decision that a President or a nation can make than that of putting troops in harm's way and going to war," said Lee. "The Downing Street memo and other classified documents have raised grave and serious questions about the circumstances under which our troops were sent to war, and the American people deserve to know the truth."
Lee was joined by panelists, including Daniel Ellsberg, author and lecturer; Steve Cobble, of AfterDowningStreet.org; Bill Mitchell, of Gold Star Families for Peace, and representatives of Iraq Veterans Against the War.
On Thursday, Congresswoman Lee introduced a Resolution of Inquiry to require the President and Secretary of State to give Congress all information relating to communication with officials of the United Kingdom relating to U.S. policy in Iraq between January 1, 2002 and October 16, 2002, the date Congress authorized the President to use force in Iraq. Lee's bill, which has 26 co-sponsors, is a privileged resolution, which means that if it is not acted on in 14 legislative days, Lee will be entitled to request that it be brought to the House floor for a vote.
The Town Hall was held on the third anniversary of the secret meeting between U.S. and British officials in 2002 whose minutes have come to be known as the "Downing Street Memo." Over the past two months, 131 Members of Congress have written the President and more than 575,000 people have signed petitions demanding answers from the White House. All of these inquiries have gone unanswered.
"This Town Hall meeting is about exposing the truth, it is about asking the difficult questions, and it is about demonstrating that the American public will demand accountability," said Lee. "We will proceed with the Resolution of Inquiry and whatever other measures are necessary. We will demand answers, we will demand accountability and we won't stop until we get them."
Eight other members of Congress are also holding town hall meetings to discuss the case for war and call for answers to the serious questions that have come to light about the Bush administration's case for invading Iraq.

Video: Allen West, Obama "Get the Hell Out of the USA"!
Video: Obama Wants to Give Your Phone Number to Union Organizers
Conservative Powerhouse: If Obama Raises Taxes, GOP Will Impeach Him
The move to impeach Barack Obama is moving forward — either in this term or, Heaven forfend, in the next. This week, one of the most influential conservative heavyweights raised the prospect of ignobly kicking the president out of office between elections. Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform is the author of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a promise signed by hundreds of office-seekers that under no circumstances will they raise taxes. On Thursday, Norquist told the National Journal:
NJ: At the end of 2012, a number of major tax provisions, including the Bush-era cuts, are set to expire. Do you have any predictions?
NORQUIST: We're focused on the fact that there is this Damocles sword hanging over people's head. What you don't know is who will be in charge when all of this will happen. I think when we get through this election cycle, we'll have a Republican majority, [though] not necessarily a strong majority in the Senate, and a majority in the House. The majority in the House will continue to be a Reagan majority, a conservative majority. Boehner never has to talk his delegation going further to the right.
If the Republicans have the House, Senate, and the presidency, I'm told that they could do an early budget vote—a reconciliation vote where you extend the Bush tax cuts out for a decade or five years. You take all of those issues off the table, and then say, "What do you want to do for tax reform?"
Then, the question is: "OK, what do we do about repatriation and all of the interesting stuff?" And, if you have a Republican president to go with a Republican House and Senate, then they pass the [Paul] Ryan plan [on Medicare].
NJ: What if the Democrats still have control? What's your scenario then?
NORQUIST: Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, he's gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. He's made no effort to work with Congress. (Emphasis added.)
Grover is no fly-by-night gadfly. He is one of the most powerful figures on the right-flank of the Republican Party. As his profile on Wikipedia states:
Norquist was listed as one of the five primary leaders of the post-Goldwater conservative movement by Nina Easton in her 2000 book, "Gang of Five". Working with eventual Speaker Newt Gingrich, Norquist was one of the co-authors of the 1994 Contract with America, and helped to rally grassroots efforts, which Norquist later chronicled in his book Rock the House. Norquist also served as a campaign staff member on the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Republican Platform Committees.
Simply put, when Grover speaks, D.C. Republicans listen.
Norquist is a single-issue conservative. Although he has been associated with other intellectual undercurrents and movements — for instance, his support for anti-Communists in the 1980s and his more recent service in the National Rifle Association — he eats, sleeps, and breathes tax policy. In this week's comments, he has laid down a potent marker for the president: If Obama goes forward with his plan for "job-killing tax increases" in 2013, Norquist will see that he is consigned to an early retirement.
It's enough to make me wish momentarily that Obama had already raised taxes.

Video: Biden, I Told Obama to Hold Off on Killing Bin Laden
Vice President Joe Biden has been missing in action for some time. Now we know why. Biden has run for president twice, in 1988 and 2008, and has not ruled out running a third time in 2016. But the Democrats' Harold Stassen just made a peculiar campaign move: He told a public audience that, when asked, he told Barack Obama not to launch the mission that killed Osama bin Laden. Describing the situation room, he said:
The president, he went around the table with all the senior people including the Chiefs of Staff. He said, "I have to make this decision. What is your opinion?" He started with the National Security adviser, the Secretary of State, and he ended with me. Every single person in that room hedged their bet, except Leon Panetta. Leon said, "GO!" Everyone else said "49/51," this…
It got to me. Joe what do you think? I said, "You know, I didn't know we have so many economists around the table. We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is don't go. We have to do two more things to see if he's there."
He walked out and said, "I'll give you my decision." The next morning, he came down to the diplomatic entrance getting in the helicopter, I believe to get to Michigan, and he turned to Tom Donnel and said…"Go."
Knowing that, as loyal as everyone is around that table, when pressed and when books are written later that would've said, "I didn't tell him to do that."
Why would a politically ambitious climber like Joe Biden say something so self-defeating? Because he realizes his only hope for being elected president is to serve two terms as vice president. The gaffe-prone veep of a failed president seldom gets elected: ask Walter Mondale. But the vice president of a two-term president enters the race with substantial advantages. (George H.W. Bush, Al Gore.) But Obama's presidency has been a low-tide for the nation he "leads." Incomes and employment rates are down; government dependence is up; and American morale is barreling toward hopelessness.
The only successes he has had, which he wants to campaign on, are in foreign policy, especially Osama bin Laden's death. Since ordering the team to go forward is the most obvious call a president could make, he has to bolster his "gutsy" call by inventing voices of dissent that begged him not to take this bold, unprecedented step.
Enter the veep.
Biden told the crowd that Obama understood "literally the presidency" was at stake, so "he pulled the trigger."
"This guy doesn't lead from behind," he said. "He just leads."
In fact, Obama dithered for 16 hours while the military waited for him to make a decision. As they pushed him for an answer, Obama replied, "I'm not going to tell you what my decision is now – I'm going to go back and think about it some more. I'm going to make a decision soon." Ever since SEAL Team 6 did its duty, he has presented himself as a combination of Rambo, Chuck Norris, and the Lone Ranger rolled into one.
Biden and Valerie Jarrett both urged him against the mission. One is a knave, the other is a fool, and their boss is mistaken if he believes the American people believe he is either a decisive leader or worthy of the office he holds.
The Republican Establishment's Last Desperate Push: Mitch Daniels Again
The Republican Establishment sees the 2012 presidential nomination process breaking wide open and it's panicked. In one last, desperate attempt to reassert control of the party from the Tea Party, the Establishment is floating another presidential candidate: Mitch Daniels.
The party leadership tapped Daniels to give the GOP response to the State of the Union Address — and his performance shows why he would be such a perfect choice for the Establishment and a disastrous choice for the party.
Daniels' speech referred to himself and his followers as the "loyal opposition," twice. "The status of 'loyal opposition' imposes on those out of power some serious responsibilities," he intoned. Not the least of these is "to show respect for the presidency and its occupant, to express agreement where it exists. Republicans tonight salute our president, for instance, for his aggressive pursuit of the murderers of 9/11." [1]
Eschewing any ideological differences and downplaying the gulf separating the two parties, Daniels said, "The challenges aren't matters of ideology, or party preference; the problems are simply mathematical, and the answers are purely practical." This calls to mind another former governor turned presidential candidate: Michael Dukakis. In his 1988 convention speech, Dukakis said, "This election isn't about ideology. It's about competence." A bland, technocratic governor was a loser then (thank God), and would be a loser again today.
Like Dukakis, Daniels looked stiff, dull, gray, ashen, and virtually lifeless. Worse, his address dredged up the worst compromising, middle-of-the-road tradition of the Republican Establishment's ghosts of lost campaigns past.
What does Governor Daniels want to do? He said, "we must unite to save the safety net. Medicare and Social Security have served us well, and that must continue. But after half and three quarters of a century respectively, it's not surprising that they need some repairs."
That has been the GOP Establishment's crie de coeur since Alf Landon promised to make the New Deal run better in 1936. (He lost the biggest Electoral College landslide in history.) His call was picked up by Wendell Willkie, Thomas Dewey, Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and John McCain – a team that, between them, won one presidential election.
Daniels went on to blame his own party. He siad, "to make such action happen, we also must work, in ways we Republicans have not always practiced, to bring Americans together." He added, "We will speak the language of unity."
"Let us rebuild our finances, and the safety net, and reopen the door to the stairway upward; any other disagreements we may have can wait," he insisted.
Daniels is the same man who called for a social issues truce — which always means a conservative unilateral surrender, as the forces of social revolution stream forward.
His feckless address quickly made an unforced error. He condemned Obama's "extremism," because "unless they stop us, we might pick the wrong light bulb." Of course, the incandescent light bulb ban was the act of a Republican, Michigan's Rep. Fred Upton, who later changed his mind on the idea. It was signed by George W. Bush, Daniels' former boss, whose allies are now promoting him for president and publicly goading him to enter the race. (Daniels was budget director under George W. Bush, when spending continued to surge.)
Despite these massive flaws — or rather because of them — Charles Krauthammer called Daniels' address "one of the best speeches I've heard as a response to the State of the Union." (Despite his stance as resident Solomon on Fox News, Krauthammer is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual advocate who formerly wrote speeches for Walter Mondale.)
The unearned plaudits continued. On Wednesday, on Fox News Channel's Your World with Neil Cavuto, pollster Frank Luntz tried to prove Daniels' viability by showing how popular his comments on the "loyal opposition" were – with Democrats. (I'm certain they were.) He added that it was a presentation "without the aggressiveness" [sic.] often seen when other Republicans speak. (That it was.)
Daniels is The Great RINO Hope. Mitch Daniels and Haley Barbour were the GOP Establishment's bush-league team, after Jeb Bush could not run and Tim Pawlenty floundered.
Barbour's recent pardon scandal shows how RINOs govern: badly. Daniels' speech shows how RINOs campaign: weakly. The natural will to survive within any conservative should tell him how the RINO Establishment deserves to be treated: brutally.
1. Daniels also honored Obama's "strong family commitment" – which I give him. In one year, he adopted a new dog, moved in with his mother-in-law, and stopped smoking. Even someone as opposed to his policies as I am can appreciate that. And Obama has certainly shown solicitous care for his big, illegal family members, like Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar.

Corry Beavers
Coach: Kelly Goodsel (6th season, 48-30)
2012 overall record: 9-5
2012 region record: 8-4 (third)
2012 playoff results: Defeated Iroquois in five games in a District 10 Class AA play-in match before losing to Conneaut in three games in the quarterfinals.
Top players lost: Hannah Kondrlik, Janele Greer, Chloe Miller, SaraBeth Weber
Top returning players: Abby Gluvna, Emily Zaczkewicz, Brooklyn Goodsel
Assistant coaches: Liz Anderson, Afton Hinsdale, Pat Goodsel
Outlook: Corry made big strides in 2012 by making the playoffs for the first time in more than a decade. The Beavers will look to take things a step further and contend for a region and district championship. Corry defeated Iroquois in a District 10 play-in match before falling to Conneaut in the quarterfinals. The Beavers will have to replace Hannah Kondrlik, Janele Greer, Chloe Miller and SaraBeth Weber. Kondrlik was voted to the all-region first team at setter after dishing out 940 assists and recording 266 digs and 41 aces. Greer and Weber were outside hitters and Miller was a middle hitter. Corry will return Abby Gluvna, Emily Zaczkewicz and Brooklyn Goodsel. Goodsel was voted to the first team as a middle hitter and had 488 kills, 110 blocks and 74 aces. Zaczkewicz returns at libero and Gluvna as a hitter. The Beavers could also receive big contributions from new outside hitters Allison Mitchell and Bret Anderson. Corry will be battle-tested if they can return to the postseason. The Beavers are in a tough Class AA region, including Crawford County powers Conneaut and Meadville. Corry's program seems to get stronger every year and with a solid junior class, the Beavers should be contenders this fall and next year as well. If Corry can continue to develop and get help from a few new players, the Beavers will be tough to beat in region play and in the District 10 playoffs.

text: They sure screwed up my GPS the other night when I was out fishing, had a hell of a time getting back outa the swamp without it, found bottom a couple times, no damage done though, just scuffed a prop a little bit. Fishing was good though, limited out on crappies and got some real nice 25+lb cats. Any of you guys ever heard of a Hydra Glow fishing light? Tried out one of our sponsers lights for the first time and man I'll tell ya there great, I was thinking it was just anouther gimick to catch fisherman, but they work awsome, bit spendy but great!!! I can't wait to try them out for ice fishing, only 4 more months and I'll be out there guiding and doing tournies and kids clinics, CAN'T WAIT!!! Been doing alot of product demos at Cabellas, Dicks, and most of the other major supplyers the last couple years and will actually be getting paid for it this year. Karl I'll be in your area for a couple crappie tourneys again this year, if you want I'll keep ya posted and maybe get you out there with some of the pro curcit boys if I can quardinate it, or maybe be able to run into you at Cabellas or something. Best part is that hunting ends about 3 weeks before ice fishing, just enough time to get all the winter fishing gear together and re-rigged!!!! HE HAWWWWW!!!

Wooded Landscape with Figures, Cottages, and Cow, c. 1785-1788
Thomas Gainsborough
British, 1727 - 1788
black chalk (or charcoal?) with grey and blue wash, touched with opaque white on laid paper ?, laid down on laid paper
18.8 x 24.5 cm
Purchased 1922
National Gallery of Canada (no. 2886)
As a compulsive draughtsman, with his heart in his beloved "landskips," Gainsborough produced one sketch after the other. Not topographical delineations of a given spot, these were landscapes of the mind, where certain simple elements - cottage, road, figures, pool, cattle or sheep, and above all, trees - were endlessly arranged and rearranged in search of the never-attained ideal. Throughout his career, his sketches became ever freer and more summary, reaching an extreme in such late examples as this, where washes are used impressionistically to suggest rather than define form. He drew in the evenings by candlelight from his famous model landscapes, which he set up with cork, coal, or broken stones for the foregrounds, broccoli or dried herbs for trees, pieces of looking-glass for water, and miniature modelled cows as the focal points.

What is a printable?
A printable is a digital version of a design which you download and print. Printables are emailed in the form of a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. Once you have your file you can print on demand as much as you would like.
Do I have to print them myself? Can you print them for me?
Yes and no. I offer a professional drop ship printing service for invites and some labels, please send me a message for clarification on exactly which labels can be printed. If home printing it too much to take on, keep in mind that you can very easily email your PDF files to an online printer or to your local copy store. Copy stores can print on a wide variety of paper stocks, label sheets for stickers, vellum, etc. I also offer some of the specialty print supplies in my supplies section such as waterproof label stock.
Printing is an add on service sold seperately.
Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes, you can change the font on any personalized design at no additional cost. Colors can be changed on most designs as well. Listings that feature the color palette offer a complimentary color change. (Designs with elaboborate patterns may require an additional re-color fee.) Simply note color and any font changes you would like in the message to seller box.
Can I use a color that is not on your palette?
Yes. If you are looking for a specific shade that you do not see on my palette, you can add custom color. We highly recommend this for unusual colors or for the very particular bride. You can even send a photo of a bridesmaid dress, your favorite pinterest pins or any other type of color swatch and we'll create a color match. The custom color option includes 2 custom colors and 3 color revisions. Custom Color can be found in my supplies & add on's section.

Paper bags can be sent through your home inkjet printer by simply re sizing your paper size in your print settings to the exact size of the bag. I also provide many other helpful tips to ensure you do not run into jamming issues. A list of tips will be included with your bag and design order.
How do I make waterproof water bottle labels?
Simply print on waterproof label stock, this is sold by the sheet in my supplies section. This label stock is compatiable with standard inkjet printers. Water resistant label stock is made from a durable vinyl material which has a special layer that locks down the ink so it does not bleed with condensation. Available in full sheet and in an 8x2 inch prescored water label size (5/page).
What is your average turnaround time?
This varies by season, you will be notified of current turn around time on your receipt. This information is also posted at the top of my shop in my shop announcement. Keep in mind designs with extensive text such as programs and invitation suites need proofing, it is important to keep proofing time in mind and be attentive to your response time when approving proofs.

5 out of 5 stars Cellulaze
I Want Smooth Legs with Cellulaze- New York, NY
I had the cellulite treatment this afternoon,I was bit scared when I walked in the office but the Doctor and his staff were very supportive and caring. The procedure took a little longer than I expected however I was explained that I had some really stuborn areas that required additional time. I would recommend this procedure to just about any one that is suffering with cellulite and I said suffering because it affects the selfsteem. Dr. Pakeman was very sweet and made sure I was comfortable thru out the entire treatment what I really liked about the entire experience was the fact I was not in any kind of pain during or after, I walked out of the office feeling ok. My husband couldn't believe how comfortable and aware I was right after having surgery. Some staff members were joking with my husband and reminded him how concern he was about me doing Celullaze, well ladies and gents my husband made an appointment with Dr. P. He wants to have his love handles taken care of. How about that ! I'm feeling a little sleepy now but I will keep you posted on my recovery. Thank you Dr. and staff you made this nervous Nelly very comfortable and relaxed ! See you tomorrow. Sophie

I like the wider margins on top and below. They look like you could write notes in them no problem.
Crimond House Two Version Bible (KJV/RV) in Black Calfskin
Crimond House is the publishing wing of Ards Evangelical Bookshop in Northern Ireland. In 2007, they published the Two Versions Bible, resurrecting an out-of-print text setting from 1899 which includes the King James Version with variants from the Revised Version noted in the outer margin. Not only is the edition a fascinating historical artifact, but it also provides an opportunity to highlight a small publisher who decided to do everything right.
In the late nineteenth century, as the project to revise the venerable King James Version came to completion, English-speaking readers were faced with a challenge very difficult for their twenty-first century descendants to imagine. They had grown up with a single translation of Scripture, its words interwoven into their culture and literature going back nearly three centuries. And now at long last, the translation was being revised — not just modernized, but actually changed. How was one to keep track of the differences?
Come to think of it, maybe that's not such a difficult scenario for us to imagine. Even today, when revisions are announced to favorite translations, a wave of uneasiness spreads through the ranks. "What are they going to change this time?" people ask, sometimes with excitement, often with dread. It's like finding out the government revised your birth certificate and changed your middle name to Maurice. In other words: unsettling.
For Victorians, there was an answer to the dilemma in the form of editions like the Two Version Bible, which spelled out the differences clearly. I have seen a couple of KJV/RV interlinears before, including a hardcover Cambridge which sits on my shelf:
Above: Cambridge's KJV/RV Interlinear Bible
Confusing? Yes, it is. Once you get the hang of it, though, not so much. The Cambridge Interlinear gives you the text of the KJV right up until there's a variant. Then the line breaks into superscript and subscript, with the King James reading on bottom and the Revised Version reading on top. In the photo above, if you were reading verse 36, you'd see that the KJV has it: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Whereas the RV reads: "But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only." The two changes are immediately evident as you scan the text — though it does get a little difficult to disentangle them.
The Two Version Bible takes a much simpler approach. The text of the King James is in the column, with notes in the margin indicating where the Revised Version differs.
Whereas the Cambridge approach allows the nimble-eyed to read either the KJV or the RV aloud, the Two Version Bible is geared more to the KJV reader who'd like to be aware when the RV differs from what he's accustomed to. As the photo above illustrates, the KJV's reading of Matthew 24:36 is given in the text column: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
The superscript numbers next to "man" and "but my Father only," signal marginal notes, where we find the RV substituting "one, not even" for "man," and inserting "neither the Son," between the angels and the Father. For good measure, there's another note on the second instance explaining that "many authorities, some ancient, omit neither the Son," taking back with one hand what it gives with the other.
Both editions feature cross references in the inside margin. Because it renders the KJV in an uninterrupted flow, the Two Version Bible can still serve its original purpose for modern readers of the King James who want to be alerted when the text underlying the translation is in doubt.
Contributing to the Two Version Bible's continued usability is its form. Crimond House had never ventured into the world of Bible publishing before, though in the past they had commissioned special editions from oxford and Cambridge. To ensure a good result, they enlisted the help of an agent who had formerly been Oxford's Bible manager in the UK, Nigel Lynn. The edition was printed and bound in the Netherlands by Jongbloed.
The Two Version Bible features one of Jongbloed's excellent edge-lined bindings, in which no bookboard is inserted between the outer leather and the polyurethane lining, resulting in a limp, flexible cover. It also comes with beautiful art-gilt page edges. There's only one ribbon. It's black and a bit skimpy. Otherwise everything about this nicely-appointed edition feels right.
The cover is soft, grainy calfskin that peels back easily (see above) offering very little resistance. Even better? Jongbloed recommended a 40 gsm paper manufactured in the Czech Republic. As a result, the Two Version Bible seems impressively opaque in comparison with many of its contemporaries. Like vintage Bibles, there is some showthrough, but it is less pronounced than we've grown accustomed to in modern editions. Isn't it strange that a small outfit on its first outing in the world of Bible publishing can manage what so many of the experienced players don't?
It's really time for the opacity of Bible paper to increase. While no one expects miracles, I would like to see publishers start disclosing the specs of the paper used in their editions — not to mention using higher spec paper. Even if the increased cost were passed along to readers, we would be happy to foot the bill. When I asked people on the BIble Design Blog Facebook page whether they'd pay an extra $10 or even $20 to cover the cost of opaque paper, the affirmatives were overwhelming. In reality, the increased cost would be less, perhaps much less.
Glued bindings are great for Bibles nobody is reading. The same goes for cheap, translucent paper. Those of us who buy Bibles with the intention of using them expect quality binding and quality paper.
The Two Version Bible delivers both. I have to say, it's quite strange to be handling what looks like a vintage Bible in decidedly non-vintage ways. The cover pancakes under the weight of the book block when I apply one of my patented yoga moves:
Like the edge-lined covers from Cambridge, which it strongly resembles, the Two Version Bible has a stitched turn-in providing additional reinforcement and decoration.
When I hear of small publishers resurrecting long out-of-print books, I tend to imagine muddy photocopies and cheap glued bindings. Nothing about the Two Versions Bible fits this stereotype. It's nicely printed on fine paper with a quality leather binding. It even comes in an attractive, sturdy crimson box. If you like your King James with a twist of late Victorian RV, the Two Version Bible would be an excellent choice.
29 Comments on "Crimond House Two Version Bible (KJV/RV) in Black Calfskin"
Any US seller of this work?
I have the older Cambridge version. I would purchase this in a second if they had the Revised Version featured with the KJV in the notes.
This edition, while neat in and of itself (the defunct Dickson Study Bible does essentially the same thing), to me is like the TBS Windsor in that it proves what could be done with more mainstream publications.
I guess what I'm beginning to believe is that Jongbloed is really the gateway to quality bible production. While others (the Italian firm used for the Personal Sized NCPB and the ESV Single Column Legacy) are coming on strong, it seems like Jongbloed is at the top of the heap regardless of who contracts them.
The real question is, what keeps Crossway, Thomas Nelson, Zondervan and Foundation Publications, etc. from going to Jongbloed directly for some premium editions (or even Windsor-like productions)? If TBS, Crimond House, Cambridge, and Schuyler can make it work on larger and smaller scales, why can't anyone else seem to?
Certainly if Jongbloed (and other premium binders) could get some of the biggies interested, they could leverage volume for better pricing all around and we could minimize the poor paper issues that seem to abound.
Great review Mark as always. The now out-of-print Dickson Analytical Study Bible does what the Crimond House Two Version Bible does but only better. The RV variants are in the text itself next to the KJV translation. The Cambridge's KJV/RV Interlinear uses very small text for the KJV/RV comparions which makes the comparions difficult to read. The Dickson uses the same size text of the RV variant as the main text so that it's easy to read. I haven't seen the Crimond House Two Version Bible so I don't know about the text size but if one could find the Dickson Analytical (often copies are available on eBay – for a price!) I think that the Dickson does the job much better than the Crimond House bible. It's good to know that we have three options: The Crimond House, The Cambridge Interlinear, and the Dickson Analytical. Each provides a different format for KJV/RV comparisons and each will attract its own following.
Crazy question, but what is the need for an interlinear KJV/RV Bible? I mean…who consults the Revised Version and why? Wasn't the RV sort of the "acid wash jeans" of Bible translations–used and in style for maybe a year or so–slight exaggeration. Why not put out an "ASV/NASB" interlinear Bible or a New English Bible/Revised English Bible while we're at it. Seems to me each of these interlinear combinations would appeal to perhaps 5 or 10 people in the Bible purchasing world.
Related question – in the Long Primer, you occasionally find marginal notes that say "read such-and-such", not as a variant reading for the KJV, but rather as a correction of the KJV. What is the source of that corrected reading? Is that the Revised Version?
thx for interesting review – the "RV" is another name for the (1901) ASV, right? I've become pretty impressed with the ASV using e-sword to compare with kjv and tyndale (another fav).
I'm going to search for where to buy this 2 version bible you reviewed.
Paul, the ASV is the Americanized version of the RV.
I have a biography of WE Vine ( of the Expository Dictionary fame). He was given a copy of this Bible now published by Crimond House and the biography contains a facsimile of one page of his Bible. Every bit of white space is covered in tiny notes and annotations that he has made. An interesting example of a lifetime of labour.
NB 40gsm paper is twice as thick as a more standard 20gsm bible paper. That' why it's so opaque. So a 1400-page Bible layout (which I suspect this is) will be pushing 2 inches thick instead of the under-1-inch thick "thinline" that the market appears to crave. It's really the most basic of design tradeoffs. But until it becomes obvious to publishers that their target customers value opaque paper over portability (read thinline editions), nothing will change, especially when so many of the premium binders use the same textblocks that the basic Trutone dimestore editions get.
I'm afraid I pretty much trust Market Forces and The Invisible Hand on this one. Bibles designed for the academic marketplace (Bible as Lit classes, critical studies etc.) are thick and readable because, well, because they're meant to be read. Bibles marketed to church-goers are trendy, thin, and quite UNreadable because they're meant as fashion accessories, or for the occasional "follow along with me" sort of textual interaction on a Sunday morning.
I wish I could be proven wrong, but if I'm wrong, these major Bible publishers are being run by pretty poor business people. And I rather doubt that.
"If TBS, Crimond House, Cambridge, and Schuyler can make it work" why can't "Crossway, Thomas Nelson, Zondervan and Foundation Publications, etc.".
Because the former are British (or British influenced in the case of the Schuylers). Brits buy more books than Americans and have a tradition of supporting high-quality printing and book binding.
American publishers don't think their customers want or can tell the difference. But when you can buy a quality bible for less than 3 movie tickets, there's no excuse.
Interesting – I've been in this little bookshop many times and had no idea they had a "Publishing House"!!
Bible paper quality is not just a function of thickness, it's also a function of opacity and brightness (which I believe may be controlled by Titanium Dioxide levels…and that stuff is expensive) in the manufacture of the paper. Take a look at the Holman Large Print Ultrathin NKJV and see that a very thin page can be done with minimal ghosting…for $30.00 shipped to your door wrapped in "real" leather. It, like the TBS Windsor, is proof that it can be done…but for a couple of dollars/bible Nelson & Co. don't want to do it (usually).
The invisible hand is indeed active here though, in that there really are a lot of people who don't know/care about paper opacity…and they buy a lot of bibles. It really does make business sense to save a couple of dollars/bible in production if you can sell said bible for the same price as a "good" one.
What you often see today is a tendency to try to minimize bleed thru by increasing thickness rather than actually bumping up the quality of the paper.
I second the comment by Kyle: "I would purchase this in a second if they had the Revised Version featured with the KJV in the notes."
I had been using an online presentation of the Cambridge Interlinear Bible of 1906 for several years and have become a fan. I now own the most recent edition of the Interlinear Bible that has been published by Cambridge, which happens to be printed and bound in the Netherlands. It is very nice. I find myself preferring the RV for the Old Testament, and the KJV for the New Testament. The Interlinear Bible and the Bible of Kralice (rebound by Leonard's Book Restoration Station) are my constant reading companions.
The ASV is nearly identical with the RV, but an unfortunate (in my opinion) feature of the ASV is that the divine name of the Creator (the Tetragrammaton) is presented as Jehovah in the Old Testament, rather than LORD as it appears in the KJV. Interestingly the RV was the only authorized revision of the KJV, and was used as the basis for the JPS 1917 translation.
A Simple Believer: Where is the website that has the Cambridge Interlinear Bible on-line?
Hi Michael,
Here is the link:
Great review by you Mark!Learning is my passion, as it is endless. I am thankful to the owner for such a great learning.
I have a copy of the Crimond Two Version Bible and it's beautiful. I live in the US and had to purchase it from Canada. I have decided to stick with the ESV version for my Bible study, and I have other KJV Bibles to study from also. If anyone is interested in buying my copy of the "Two Version Bible", please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please keep inquiries in the USA, as the shipping overseas is very high. I will, of course, send the Bible to the buyer first, so they can inspect it before sending payment. I've only owned it a short time, it is in pristine condition.
God Bless.
Tommy, your email address did not work. Do you have another? I am interested in this Bible.
Please contact me at email@example.com about the Two Version Bible.
Thank you.
I am lucky enough to have an original copy of the Two Version Bible published by Oxford in 1899. It is bound in very supple morocco leather(after a hundred years it still has a faint leather aroma), india paper, smyth sewn. The other great thing is that after every second page, it has a blank, lined page for note taking, yet it still easy enough to carry around.
From Mark's and another review, though, I am tempted to get a copy from Crimond House just to compare.
Hi Mike
Would you be interested in selling me that bible?
Hello Stephen,
Thank you for your email.
I am sorry but I want to keep it. It is one of my favourites.
Thank You for the great information on the Bible itself,and also about book making, I too, would gladly pay more for extra quality, seems like we all have the same problems(humour much appreciated) when we use our Bibles, Best Wishes.
Does this reprint have the Name Dictionary, Subject Index, Concordance, and Maps?
My copy of the original oxford 1899 Edition of the Two-Version Bible does NOT have an index of names nor a concordance nor subject index. It does have half a dozen maps. BUT, importantly, it does have the long note, "Translators to the Reader" which makes for very interesting and informative reading on the principles the translators followed for the KJV.
It was my Great Great Great Uncle David Newport's fault, one of three David's for whom I am named. Just before I retired I gave a report for a class on a Quaker of the past, in this case a minister like his mother Elizabeth. I read his journal and this summer hers. Since I read that he was interested in the revision of the KJV, I thought he may have been one of the Friends involved in the ASV of 1901, related to the RV of the British. No he wasn't, but he sure was smarter than me, understanding Greek and Hebrew. I just received a very nice example of the Oxford 1899 Two Version Bible in the mail two days ago. I enjoy reading the KJV mainly, and referring to the margins at times for meaning or alternate translation. So it is my 3X Uncle Dave who is responsible, but my Great Uncle Dave who I remember as a young boy.
I actually grew up about 300 feet away from Ards Evangelical Bookshop ie the publishers of this bible. They sometimes have top-end bibles that are slights seconds/returns on offer. But these are only available in the shop. Best to ring them!

Runner-up in Sunland Park city council election calls for lynching of winner
Sunland Park, N.M. - The runner-up in Tuesday's city council election in Sunland Park, N.M., is calling for the winner to be "lynched."
Voters re-elected District One City Councilor Christian Lira. But Lira said Friday he doesn't want that seat, because he wants to run for New Mexico District 34 state rep.
"I think he should be lynched," said District One runner-up Kenneth Giove.
Giove was at the city council meeting Feb. 18, when Lira announced his plan to withdraw his name from ballots.
"Several weeks before registration, the election registration, Mr. Lira called me," Giove said. "Spoke to him in the City Council meeting, said that he wasn't going to run, that I was the best candidate."
But Lira missed the Jan. 14 withdrawal deadline, said Sunland Park Mayor Javier Perea.
"As far as I know, he wasn't going to campaign or anything like that," Perea said.
And Lira still won re-election by three votes. If he wins a seat in the state house, he said he'll likely resign his council seat.
"My last name is one of the strongest names here in Sunland Park, New Mexico, as of today," Lira said. "And it's because of my merits, because of the deeds that I've done.
"Nobody knows who he is, except his family," Giove said. "He shouldn't be a city councilor. He's not qualified to be a state rep. He missed 40 percent of his meetings."
"The most important meetings that I've been here, to change the leadership, to change the structure of how the city is, I have been here," Lira said.
Lira also denied an accusation that he doesn't actually live within the district he represents.
"No, I live with my parents," Lira said.
"Anything more," Giove said, "I'll probably put my foot in my mouth."
By law Lira could hold both offices at the same time.
The state house primary election is June 4. If Lira wins that and goes on to win in November -- and resigns city council -- the mayor could appoint a replacement with council approval, or hold a special election.

There is so much wrong with this, I just can;'t sit back and let the ignorance continue.
Rowling is Christian. She wrote a fictional story to sell and entertain. That's it. You don't like it? Don't read it.
We don't want to hurt children. Stop outright lying about us. I believe there's some bits in the Bible about bearing false witness you may want to look into.
We do not all belong to covens. We do not believe in or unknowingly worship Satan any more than you believe in or unknowingly worship Zeus. You know, that god who lived on Mt. Olympus a few thousand years before Christianity was ever established?
Stop pretending to know God or Satan, or anything about our souls. That's hubris. Unless you've seen Satan, talked to him, and can prove conclusively that you have, you are simply making stuff up. More false witness AND slander.
Gods, seriously, what is your problem?! Is it is really so bad that people believe differently than you do? It doesn't effect you in anyway. We don't care if you're Christian, we care if you bash us, which is what you are doing! Jesus wouldn't do that. He preached love and acceptance. Why aren't you listening to him?

You are talking about pagans, so YES you are talking about me. I will defend my brothers and sisters who share my faith against vipers like you who lie about us.
Anything not Jewish, Christian, or Muslim is pagan. That's what the word came to mean after the early Christians took hold.
I ascribe to Buddhist teachings as well to try and attain inner peace and do good on earth... So that I may be known by my good works.
And yes, you will know them by their deeds. You are no Christian if you preach hate and lies about other people.
Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.
That sounds a lot like preaching love.
Calling us evil devil worshipers is BASHING!

Like i said truth uncovered. You were never a christian is a true statement. Being raised in church or reading the bible doesnot make a person a christian. Many have believed that possesing scripture and knowledge gives life. It doesnot. It is accepting what is written and being chosen an accepted by God that counts. God knows it all in the beginning. He knew of your rebellion in the former age and he knew you would return to it once you matured. Proving His first judgement correct. You just proved in days what God foreknew all along.

If the schools need to remove HP and other fairy tales, they should be sure to include the fairy tale book known as the Bible, as many schools do carry it on their shelves. I am of course kidding. I have no fear that my children are going to contaminated by the Bible or other books they get at the library. I encourage them to read and explore a variety of literature that we then discuss together. If I saw that there was a book I had concerns about, I would be sure to read it and discuss my concerns with my children.

Scott you and this woman that wants HP out of schools are both completely self absorbed. If you want HP out of school why not Homers Illiad and Odessy. Or maybe the works Tolkien. Both of you are narrow minded simpletons. Maybe you should go to the school and take a closer look in the library. If you think HP is bad take a look at some of the books that talk about drugs,violence,murder,and other acts that are factual aspects of whats happening in the world today all presented in some work of fiction on one shelf or the other. I guess that would mean sherlock holmes would have to be removed from the shelves as well. The brothers grimm ring a bell fairy tales with all kinds of things that should curl your hair. how about The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter Pan, bedknobs and broomsticks and many others where does it end when the library is empty except for books only approved by christians. what about books that are ok with jews or muslims or maybe the native americans. When did christian rights become more important that the rights of other tax paying productive parents reguardless of their religious views.

Inquiry told of false fees
Page Tools
The developer who taped the former Strathfield mayor Alfred Tsang pocketing a wad of $100 bills had earlier paid the councillor's company thousands of dollars for non-existent marketing services, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was told yesterday.
The commission is investigating allegations that Cr Tsang's political rival used the bribery tape as blackmail to force his resignation as mayor.
A Hurstville real estate agent, Andy Chui, said Cr Tsang introduced him to Michael Saklaoui, who was selling a proposed development in Homebush West on behalf of a friend.
Mr Chui quickly sold it, splitting his $52,800 commission with another agent. But he later received another $11,000 from Mr Saklaoui's firm, which did not own the property he sold.
Mr Chui said he did not ask for the money. It was probably given because "they appreciated our job", he said.
He was instructed to split the money into thirds; one for him, one for Cr Tsang's company and one for the home loan company involved in the planned development.
Cr Tsang has told the inquiry he knew nothing of the payment until recently because his wife, Gladys, handled it. Mrs Tsang says Mr Chui asked her to submit an invoice for $3663, which she thought was a referral fee, despite making the invoice out for a marketing fee.
Today is expected to be the final day of public hearings.

The Ruins HTML version
Part I, Chapter 2
Here, said I, once flourished an opulent city; here was the seat of a powerful empire. Yes!
these places now so wild and desolate, were once animated by a living multitude; a busy
crowd thronged in these streets, now so solitary. Within these walls, where now reigns
the silence of death, the noise of the arts, and the shouts of joy and festivity incessantly
resounded; these piles of marble were regular palaces; these fallen columns adorned the
majesty of temples; these ruined galleries surrounded public places. Here assembled a
numerous people for the sacred duties of their religion, and the anxious cares of their
subsistence; here industry, parent of enjoyments, collected the riches of all climes, and
the purple of Tyre was exchanged for the precious thread of Serica;* the soft tissues of
Cassimere for the sumptuous tapestry of Lydia; the amber of the Baltic for the pearls and
perfumes of Arabia; the gold of Ophir for the tin of Thule.
* The precious thread of Serica.--That is, the silk originally derived from the
mountainous country where the great wall terminates, and which appears to have been the
cradle of the Chinese empire. The tissues of Cassimere.--The shawls which Ezekiel
seems to have described under the appellation of Choud- choud. The gold of Ophir.--
This country, which was one of the twelve Arab cantons, and which has so much and so
unsuccessfully been sought for by the antiquarians, has left, however, some trace of itself
in Ofor, in the province of Oman, upon the Persian Gulf, neighboring on one side to the
Sabeans, who are celebrated by Strabo for their abundance of gold, and on the other to
Aula or Hevila, where the pearl fishery was carried on. See the 27th chapter of Ezekiel,
which gives a very curious and extensive picture of the commerce of Asia at that period.
And now behold what remains of this powerful city: a miserable skeleton! What of its
vast domination: a doubtful and obscure remembrance! To the noisy concourse which
thronged under these porticoes, succeeds the solitude of death. The silence of the grave is
substituted for the busy hum of public places; the affluence of a commercial city is
changed into wretched poverty; the palaces of kings have become a den of wild beasts;
flocks repose in the area of temples, and savage reptiles inhabit the sanctuary of the gods.
Ah! how has so much glory been eclipsed? how have so many labors been annihilated?
Do thus perish then the works of men--thus vanish empires and nations?
And the history of former times revived in my mind; I remembered those ancient ages
when many illustrious nations inhabited these countries; I figured to myself the Assyrian
on the banks of the Tygris, the Chaldean on the banks of the Euphrates, the Persian
reigning from the Indus to the Mediterranean. I enumerated the kingdoms of Damascus
and Idumea, of Jerusalem and Samaria, the warlike states of the Philistines, and the
commercial republics of Phoenicia. This Syria, said I, now so depopulated, then
contained a hundred flourishing cities, and abounded with towns, villages, and hamlets.*
In all parts were seen cultivated fields, frequented roads, and crowded habitations. Ah!
whither have flown those ages of life and abundance?--whither vanished those brilliant

My question is the following: after random allocation, within the treatment group subjects will be assigned to one of three treatment doses of the same treatment, depending on a differential diagnosis. In practice, in estimating sample size requirements, would one consider the three sub-groups as distinct groups, or aggregate them all into the treatment group?
If the purpose of the study is to look at the relationship between dose and response, then the underlying model is a regression model of some sort with doses of 0 (control), 1, 2 and 3. (Substitute actual doses)
However, I have also encountered designs where the hypothesis was that the basic dose was sufficient, and that higher doses did not increase treatment effectiveness (in nutrition supplementation in pregnancy). In this case, your sample size for the first test (basic dose is sufficient) is all treated cases versus controls. A second dummy variable (whether the person received the higher dose) tests that second hypothesis, and the sample sizes here are for high-dose cases versus low-dose cases.
