Get your travel planner out for flight nineteen over the Bible from 30,000 Feet, as we soar over 1 Kings 1-22. On this flight we will see the transition that Israel undertakes as it moves from the rule of King David to the rule of his son King Solomon after his death. After Solomon turns from the Lord, we will see how Israel is divided and moved in and out of the power of many kings such as Ahab, Jehoshaphat, and Ahaziah. These chapters will reveal a story of true loyalty and disobedience to God. The key chapters to review are 1 Kings 1-3, 6, 8, 11, 12, 18, and 19.
DESTINATION: 1 Kings 1-22
1 Kings covers the history of Israel as it moves from being united under King David to divided under King Solomon. It's a story of good Kings and bad Kings, true prophets and false prophets, loyalty and disobedience to God.
David becomes king over all Israel
Solomon is born
David dies and Solomon becomes King
Solomon dies; Jeroboam reigns in Israel and Rehoboam reigns in Judah.
Asa becomes king in Judah
Baasha becomes king in Israel
Ahab becomes king in Israel
Jehoshaphat becomes king in Judah
Elijah begins to prophesy against Ahab
The Tale of Two Kingdoms - the story of 1 Kings is the story of how Israel, because of their disobedience to God's Word, moves from a powerful unified nation under King David to a divided nation under many different Kings.
1. The United Kingdom - 1 Kings 1-11
a. Rise of Solomon - 1 Kings 1-8
b. Decline of Solomon - 1 Kings 9-12
2. The Divided Kingdom - 1 Kings 12-22
a. Reign of many kings - 1 Kings 12-16:28
b. Reign of Ahab - 1 Kings 16:29-22:40
c. Reign of Jehoshaphat - 1 Kings 22:41-50
d. Reign of Ahaziah - 1 Kings 22:51-53
Twenty Cities Given By Solomon To King Hiram - King Solomon gave King Hiram one city for each year in which he provided building supplies. The cities were located in the region of Tyre which is northeast of Jerusalem. God did not give us the names of the cities (1 Kings 9:10-13).
Samaria - Samaria became the capitol of Israel, the Northern Kingdom, some years after the country split in two, after Solomon's death. It's located on a hill about 35 miles north of Jerusalem. King Omri, the 6th King of Israel, bought the hill and named it Samaria, in honor of its former owner, Shemer, and built his palace on it. During the time of Jesus there was a continuing hostility between Jews and Samaritans, as found in John 8:48, Luke 9:52-53, and the surprise of the disciples when they found Jesus talking with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well (John 4:7-9). The city was destroyed by the Romans in AD 66, and again rebuilt (1 Kings 16:24).
Sheba - This is a southern kingdom mentioned in the Old Testament. The actual location of the historical kingdom is disputed between Ethiopia and Yemen (1 Kings 10:1).
Solomon's Temple - Location - The Temple was probably situated upon the more easterly of the two hills which form the site of the present-day Temple Mount - Noble Sanctuary, at the center of which is the Dome of the Rock. This is the same site where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac (Gen 22:2). Under the Jebusites the site was used as a threshing floor. 2 Sam. 24 describes its consecration during David's reign (1 Kings 5-9).
Tirzah - Tirzah was one of the Canaanite cities that were taken by the Israelites under Joshua during their God-commanded possession of the Promised Land (from Dan to Beersheba, the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea). Later, after the death of Solomon, when the united kingdom of the Israelites split into two separate kingdoms, Israel and Judah, Jeroboam made his residence at Tirzah, making it the capital of the northern ten tribes (1 Kings 14:7-20).
Tisbe - The birthplace of Elijah. An area in the forested mountains of Gilead. Tishbe in Gilead has long been associated with the archaeological remains at modern Listib (1 Kings 17:1).
Abijam - He ruled for 3 years beginning his reign in 913 B.C. He rebuked Jeroboam, King of the North, for leading the rebellion against Rehoboam, and then defeated him on the battlefield (1 Kings 15:1).
Adonijah - When David was on his death bed, his oldest living son, Adonijah, attempted to steal the throne from his half brother, Solomon. He was supported by Joab and Abiathar (1 Kings 1:7). He is placed on probation but is executed at a later time for again attempting to ascend to the throne by marrying Abishag who had been David's last concubine (1 Kings 1:3; 2:17, 25).
Ahab - Ahab was the seventh King of Israel. He reigned for 22 years (874-852 BC). He was the son of Omri. He married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, the king of the Sidonians. Ahab, under Jezebel's influence, built a pagan temple, and allowed idols into Samaria. He was one of the most wicked of all Kings. He was often confronted by Elijah. He was killed in battle, just as Elijah had prophesied (1 Kings 16:29).
Ahaziah - He was Ahab's oldest son who made an attempt to kill the prophet Elijah for predicting that he would not recover from a severe fall he had suffered. He began his reign of 2 years in 853 B.C. (I Kings 22:1).
Asa - A ruler for 41 years, he began his rule around 911 B.C. He was Judah's first king who had a relationship with God. He led his people in a revival while at the same time he deposed his grandmother, Queen Maachah for idolatry. All during his reign, he fought with King Baasha, 3rd ruler of the North. Toward the latter part of his life Asa backslides and finally died of a foot disease for which sickness he refused to seek God's help (2 Chronicles 16:12).
Baasha - having assassinated Jeroboam, Baasha began his reign in 909 B.C. He ruled for 24 years. He had destroyed the dynasty of Jeroboam, as God had predicted, but received the same judgment prophecy upon his own family due to his own wickedness (1 Kings 15:33).
Bath-Sheba - visits her dying husband David, and arranges for Solomon, her favorite son, to be anointed by Zadok the priest (1 Kings 1:39).
Ben-Hadad I - (879 B.C.) He was bribed by the Southern King Asa to help him in his struggle against Baasha, the Northern ruler (1 Kings 15:16-18). He was later defeated by the Northern King, Ahab (l King 20).
Elah - He was the son of Baasha, beginning his rule in 886 B.C. He was the ruler for a short 2 years before being assassinated his own chariot captain, Zimri, while he was "drinking himself drunk" (1 Kings 16:8-9).
Elijah - Here is the most famous Old Testament prophet. Elijah, a Tishbite from the region of Gilead, was a prophet in Israel during the reigns of Ahab, Ahaziah and Jehoram. All his life Elijah was active in the defense of God. His teachings brought him into constant conflict with the Kings of Israel, and on one occasion had to flee for his life. He fought against the cult of Baal, and clashed frequently with Ahab's wife Jezebel, who had introduced the pagan cult in Israel. He was one who prayed for both droughts and downpours. During times of great need while doing God's work against the wicked rule of Ahab, he was fed by ravens and a starving widow. He also raised the righteous dead and killed the living wicked (1 Kings 17:1).
Jehoshaphat - A southern kingdom ruler began his rule in 873 B.C. The length of his reign was 25 years. Like his father, Jehoshaphat led his people in a great revival, but compromised his testimony when he made a political alliance with the wicked King Ahab of the North. This included giving of his son Jehoram to marry the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, a pagan whose name was Athaliah (1 Kings 15:24).
Jeroboam - began his 22 year reign in 930 B.C. He led the rebellion against Rehoboam and instituted a false religion at both Bethel and Dan. Jeroboam was so evil that God said 21 times that Jeroboam made Israel to sin (1 Kings 12:25).
Jezebel - Jezebel was the wife of Ahab, who was king of Israel from about 874 BC to about 852 BC. She was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon. Jezebel worshiped a pagan god called Baal and she helped to corrupt Israel with idol worship. She was evil and influential. The prophets Elijah and Elisha blamed Jezebel more than Ahab for the persecution of God's prophets during that era. Jezebel's daughter, Athaliah, became Queen of Judah, and she too was evil.
Joab - Previously the commander of the army for King David, this general is finally executed, not only for his part in Adonijah's rebellion, but for many past crimes which included the murders of Abner and Amasa (1 Kings 2:28-34).
Nadab - beginning in 910 B.C. he reigned 2 years. He was Jeroboam's son and was assassinated by Baasha to secure his throne (l Kings 15:25).
Nathan - the Prophet, who had confronted David over the affair with Bath-Sheba, now warns Bath-Sheba about Adonijah's plot to ascend to the throne ahead of Solomon (1 Kings 1:11).
Obadiah - He was in charge of King Ahab's household affairs during the ministry of Elijah. He was a backslidden Israelite believer who had hidden 100 prophets in two caves from the murderous Jezebel, but still had not taken his stand for God before Ahab and the people (1 Kings 18:3-4).
Omri - He began the 4th Northern dynasty ruling for 12 years beginning in 885 B.C. He made Samaria the new Northern Capitol, and became one of the most powerful of all the Kings (1 Kings 16:23).
Rehoboam - The son of Solomon, he began his reign in 930 B.C. and ruled for 17 years. It was because of his lack of respect and thinking of what was best for his people that he was the cause of Israel's civil war (1 Kings 12:1).
Shemei - Shimei, like Adonijah, for awhile placed on parole and limited not to cross the Brook Kidron, but he broke this trust and suffered the death penalty for it (1 Kings 2:36-46). At the execution of Shimei, David's dying request had been fulfilled by Solomon, for he had asked that justice be done to both Joab and Shimei (1 Kings 2:5,8).
Shishak (935-914 B.C.) - As Jeroboam ran into exile, he was befriended by Shishak the King of Egypt. This was during the latter part of Solomon's reign and later he led an army against Rehoboam (1 Kings 11:40; 14:25).
Solomon - Solomon, the son of King David and Bathsheba, was the third king of Israel. Solomon was renown for his wisdom, wealth and for his construction projects. Israel enjoyed an era of security, prosperity, and international political and economic importance under Solomon. Solomon was anointed king when his older brother, Adonijah, rashly tried to proclaim himself as ruler when their father, King David, became old. But Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan, with the support of others, crowned Solomon as King.
Zadok - He manifested his loyalty to the king when he espoused the cause of Solomon against Adonijah (1 Kings 1:8).
Zimri - A strange ruler began his reign in 885 B.C. He ruled for only 7 days. In that time he was able to destroy all of Baasha's descendants as God had predicted. After only a week's rule he committed suicide by remaining in a burning building (1 Kings 16:11-18).
Baking Bread in an Oven - When Elijah asked the widow to make him some bread, how did she do it. She may have baked it on an oven called a tannur. This was shaped like a pottery jar. It was filled with sticks and lit on fire. The dough would have been put on the outside and baked. Look at 1 Kings 17:12, where she says that she was gathering sticks to bake her bread (1 Kings 17:8-16).
Cedars of Lebanon - Solomon bought these trees from King Hiram of Tyre. This was great quality wood from the finest cedar trees in the Middle East. It was ideal for use as a building material and was used for the interior of the temple. It was a dark red in color and had a special sweet smell. The logs were tied together into rafts and were floated down the seacoast to various port cities. They were then dragged overland to Jerusalem (1 Kings 5-8).
Elijah's Mantle - It was his cloak. This is very similar to an overcoat today. They were made by hand and were difficult to produce. Therefore, most people had only one. A mantle was worn as protection against the burning sun and for warmth on a cold night. It had many uses. On a warm night, it was a pillow. At meal time, it would be laid out on the ground for your special guest to sit upon. You could make a bundle to carry goods back from the marketplace. A farmer could tie it into a bag a fill it with his seeds to plant his field. A cloak was also used in a symbolic way.
a. By spreading the cloak over a woman's shoulders, you were saying you would care for her.
b. Throwing a cloak over a man's shoulders represented a transfer of power or authority. It also meant a call to discipleship (1 Kings 19:19-21).
c. A cloak was sometimes given to a lender as a pledge for a debt.
Famine - All of the areas surrounding Israel depend on rain for the growing of their crops. The old calendar was dated around the rain seasons. It was separated by the rainy season and the dry season. If October and November bring no moisture, the planting season is delayed and the harvest will be slim. Without the winter rains, the country would remain without water; parched and dry from the summer heat. The smaller the crop, the fewer seeds to plant next year which extends the famine. During Elijah's time, a rainless period of time led to famine (1 Kings 17).
Quarrying Stone - Just as the cedar wood was used for the interior; stones from the quarry were used to construct the exterior. Solomon got his stone from the quarries north of Jerusalem. Stonecutters and stonemasons worked for years in the pits crafting the stone to such perfection that they were fitted together at the construction site with very little or no mortar. When delivered to the temple area, they would be lowered on site using pulleys, rollers and sledges (1 Kings 5-8).

Bounty hunters did not kill the number of coyotes that some had hoped during the first year of the Mule Deer Protection Act, but biologists and supporters of the controversial program say it will take time to see if it is helping Utah's herds.
While promoting the act that increased an existing bounty on dead coyotes from $20 to $50, supporters such as Sen. Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, and Don Peay, founder of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, often said it would lead to at least 20,000 predators turned in for the cash.
Results of the first year July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013 compiled by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources show 7,160 were turned in and $380,950 was awarded in bounties. Three contractors were also hired to eliminate coyotes in areas where deer herds appear to be in the greatest decline. Those contractors were paid $45,000.
Okerlund sponsored the bill during the 2012 Legislature. He is disappointed that more coyotes were not killed but said those taken have made a difference, and not only on deer.
"I've talked to people from the Utah Wool Growers Association and they said they have never had a better year with fewer losses than they did this year," Okerlund said. "People are also telling me they are seeing more [deer] twins and a better fawn crop. People are encouraged."
The report said the act may have persuaded 615 new trappers or hunters to kill coyotes. Sixty-seven percent of the coyotes were shot, and 75 percent of all coyotes submitted during the first year were killed in February.
Critics of the Mule Deer Preservation Act have often pointed to the fact that most coyote hunting is done in the winter and not during the fawning season.
"Only 844 (13 percent) of the coyotes were killed on these summer ranges," the report reads. "There are many possible reasons for the low coyote-removal rate in areas important for mule deer production. In any event, these initial data are disappointing, and the Division anticipates the program will be more effective if more coyotes are harvested in summer ranges."
Okerlund said a requirement for hunters to produce the coyote's scalp with two ears, the lower jaw and a data sheet recording where it was killed dissuaded some from turning in animals they shot.
"I talked to people who killed coyotes and didn't bring them in for reimbursement because of the difficulty of the process," Okerlund said. "That might be something we [will] consider changing."
Many participants turned in only one coyote and only 6 percent turned in 25 or more animals. Box Elder County saw the most significant number of animals turned in 1,142. The report also said 37 percent of the coyotes "were removed from only three deer hunt units: Box Elder, West Desert and Fillmore."
John Shivik, mammals coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said that the "coyote take" in Utah including fur trapping, removal by U.S. Department of Agriculture and incidental remains about the same level as in past years.
Opponents of the Mule Deer Preservation Act were glad to hear Okerlund's hope of 20,000 coyotes killed was not reached. They continue to ask whether the program will do anything to help deer populations and whether it should be funded by taxpayers.
"A lot of research we did indicated deer are really not threatened that much by coyotes and that when we start to kill them off they start to breed more," said Carl Arky, a spokesman for the Humane Society of Utah.
He said members are glad there weren't more animals killed. "There are so many questions on whether this is necessary, whether it works and whether taxpayers should be paying for this."

The House Energy and Commerce Committee this week released its first in a series of white papers that the committee leaders say will examine a number of issues examining the federal Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).
Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and ranking member Henry A. Waxman (D-CA) said in a statement that the white paper represents the launch of a bipartisan review of the RFS and issues "emerging with the current system," and offers an opportunity to solicit input from interested stakeholders.
"It has been more than five years since the RFS was last revised, and we now have a wealth of actual implementation experience with it," the white paper states. "In some respects, the RFS has unfolded as expected, but in others it has not. Several implementation challenges have emerged that received little if any consideration prior to passage of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Furthermore, the overall energy landscape has changed since 2007. It is time to undertake an assessment of the RFS."
The white paper addresses the "blend wall, the point at which adding the required volume of ethanol to gasoline supplies would result in ethanol blends that exceed 10 percent, which is the maximum ethanol content approved for sale for use in all vehicles." (EPA has approved the use of E15 in cars and light trucks built since 2001.)
"As gasoline demand has declined in recent years, and ethanol targets have continued to rise, the blend wall is approaching much faster than anticipated," the paper states. "The required volumes of ethanol as set by the RFS must now be added to a smaller-than-expected pool of gasoline, and many experts predict the 10 percent blend wall may be reached as soon as this year. While blends containing up to 10 percent ethanol (E-10) have long been used, refiners may need to start producing E-15 to stay in compliance."
The approaching blend wall raises a number of issues for producers, refiners, auto manufacturers, and fuel retailers, the committee said in a statement issued with the white paper.
In addition to the white paper, the committee has posed a number of questions and asked stakeholders to submit response to those questions by April 5.

By Kathy Van Mullekom Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)
Never underestimate the value of professional landscape designers.
Trained to know what plants work best and what designs function best, they can save you time, money and heartache.
"There is much more to landscaping than popping shrubs around a house," said Peggy Krapf, a member of the Virginia Society of Landscape Designers.
"Good landscaping has a real artistic component similar to interior decorating."
Here's what Krapf and two other landscape designers say about good garden design:
Consider your architecture
"I love to bring the architecture of the house into the garden. Connecting them with fencing is a wonderful way to enclose the garden, making it feel like an extension of the house," Krapf said.
"Be sure to use compatible materials and colors in the outdoor spaces. If your home has a brick foundation, choose a matching or blending color for walks and pathways. Pick out paint colors for fencing, furniture and sheds that echo the accent or trim colors on the house.
"Choose a favorite flower color and repeat it around the garden for a cohesive look," she said.
Develop your plan
"Develop a plan, make your wish list, set your budget, know the local climate and imagine how you will use the space," said landscaper Eric Bailey of Newport News, Va.
"Also, consider maintenance. Do you enjoy the garden? How much time do you have to spend?
"Do not restrict your landscape to only plants. Decks and patios transition your home from the inside out. If you have a patio, consider a pergola or arbor. If you have a garden path, consider a gate," Bailey said.
Curb appeal
"Always stand at the curb in front of your home and look at any issues that steal attention from the front door," said Tami Eilers of McDonald Garden Center in Hampton, Va.
"Block unattractive neighboring views with trees and shrubs to keep the eye on your property. Hide trash and recycle cans from view.
"Ideally paving materials should reflect the same color as the roof," she said.
"Placing a tree between the curb and the house gives a sense of added depth to the front yard; 90 percent of front yard shrubs should be evergreen," Eilers said.
"Keep your house numbers and front porch well lit, visible and clean because this is the first place an arriving guest will see.
"Keep shrubs well below windows and clear from paths to avoid an unmaintained look," she said.

Dear FOS11 members,
We are in the process of creating our Spring 2007 Remembrance and Wellness Newsletter. The theme we are exploring in this mailing is post-traumatic growth which is the experience where some survivors of crises report increased functioning and change after living through a serious trauma. The concept of post-traumatic growth, pushes us to look at our lives and see how we are different than we were before - different not just in terms of our losses and sorrow, but also in terms of what we have learned. Post-traumatic growth makes us aware of what we can do today that we couldn't do in the past and what strengths we have that we didn't know were there before. Researchers interested in the dynamics of post-traumatic growth, describe certain conditions that might be necessary to allow people to experience such growth. For example, it is often necessary for some time to pass, victims must resolve the emotional damage caused by trauma and try and find some meaning in it, and people need to reshape and redefine assumptions and belief systems that were shattered.
If you have found that your life has changed in some unexpected way since 9/11, we encourage you to share this with us and allow us to pass your experience on to other readers who may benefit from it. Please send you submission by April 4, 2007 to firstname.lastname@example.com.
While we may not be able to incorporate all stories, we will try to include those which we feel may be appropriate and helpful to our readers. Please be aware that by submitting your comments, you are granting FOS11 permission to post your story in the newsletter and edit and/or shorten it as required.

She will unearth more than their remains in a quest that becomes a journey of baleful discovery and painful self-discovery.
The boat which has been tethered to the weird, baleful shore is set free, and sails toward the glories of the morning.
He played with his ax nervously, his baleful gaze darting about the camp.
If we reject it the vivid colors will grow pale; it will be a baleful meteor, portending tempest and war.
Of all mortal possessions they are the most useless, mischievous, and baleful.
It is not its power, but its treachery that is dreadful—the guise of friendship hiding a baleful purpose underneath.
THEN the baleful fiend its fire belched out, and bright homes burned.
It was hard to smile at the bright, baleful face with the menace in the eyes.
Richard paled under the baronet's baleful, half-sneering glance.
Everyone inherits something from the baleful institution, but not everyone the same.
Old English bealu-full "dire, wicked, cruel," from bealu "harm, injury, ruin, evil, mischief, wickedness, a noxious thing," from Proto-Germanic *balwom (cf. Old Saxon balu, Old Frisian balu "evil," Old High German balo "destruction," Old Norse bol, Gothic balwjan "to torment"), from PIE root *bheleu- "to beat." During Anglo-Saxon times, the noun was in poetic use only (e.g. bealubenn "mortal wound," bealuðonc "evil thought"), and for long baleful was extinct, but it was revived by modern romantic poets.

First of all, it is iPhone (consisting of 2g, 3g, 3gs and 4) vs ALOT of androids. Hardly fair. Secondly I don't think iOS would go down because of its ease of use and simplicity. I hope Apple sees this as a wake up call and realizes they can't keep on going up forever, hopefully we will see many new things to come to the iPhone and iOS (hopefully a UI overhaul). Just my 2cents.
Here in the US you can go to walmart and get a brand new HTC Inspire "4G" for 30 dollars.
As far as more android activations, well its not very surprising there are hundreds of android phones on every US carrier as opposed to 4 iPhones only on AT&T and now the CDMA iPhone 4 on Verizon.
As for software, I like iOS because it just works the way its supposed to, but it does get a little boring here and there. Android however is very fun, but is a little too buggy at the moment with phones but are close to getting it right.
first you say 4 versions of iPhone against a lot of Androids is hardly fair.??
Apple had a one year head start on both Phones and Tablets.
second, its Apple's fault that they only have one flavor to choose from. having many phones with many features and a wide range of prices is an advantage that Android is exploiting.
then you say you dont think Apple will go down, but professional research companies with massive resources are saying that Apple will even be passed by Windows Phone.
so to go from first place to third place says a lot about Apple's business philosophy and what users want to be able to do with their devices.
if Apple was to open the flood gates, and just bend a little towards the will of its users rather than the will of Steve Jobs, then and only then would Apple stop its decline.
I have an iPhone 4 and its the best phone Ive ever had., I chose the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 over the iPad 2 because I find iOS to be very boring and state and I get tired of new firmwares and waiting for new jailbreaks and waiting for devs to make my favorite Cydia apps compatible when on my Android device, I have all those great features built into the OS.
hell, even Apple now realizes this and have copied Android, RIM and WinPho features into the upcoming iOS 5
It really doesn't matter about who has the most phones with their OS out there.
Also having too many SKU's like the abundant choice of Android phones can be bad. You buy a new iPhone today, it's got the latest software and will support the next few major releases. (iPhone 4 will more than likely support into iOS 6). But you can buy a new Android phone today and it might not even have the latest version, and if it does, it might not get the next update. Granted Google are remedying that better now but it's still there as of now.
Actually it's only 2 iPhones - I'm sure there aren't many 2G & 3G iPhones being activated nowadays on a daily basis, which is what is being compared to Android here.
Why is this news? I'd have thought it would be obvious given that there are more phones using Android than iOS.
Also the professional research companies with massive resources that claim Apple will go under have a strong point. But you gotta understand Apple basically commands the market, they came out with the iPhone 2g, and comes the hundreds of touchscreen iPhone killers. They made a basically nonexistent market mainstream with the introduction if the iPad, and then came the hundreds of iPad killers. Face it, Apple commands the market basically. iOS and iPhone is here to stay for a LONG time.
If you want to know what Google has to say about that, watch some Google IO videos and you'll see whats going on. I love my iPhone 4 but I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 over the ipad 2.
Apple which once lead (the current generation) smartphone market is now Second (barely second having 26% vs 25.7% for RIM) and predicted to fall to 3rd behind Microsoft.
apple did not make a non-existent market mainstream because;
there were smart phones way before Apple was a household name and I was playing movies, downloading apps, sending email, surfing the web on a full color, touch screen Compaq iPaq back in 1999.
Apple does one thing better than the rest, they are very good at making the uninformed public believe that they are the innovators of all this great technology when all they really did was copy everything, wrap it up in a prettier package and market the hell out of it.
I think Steve Jobs is an egomaniac and he has this creepy vision of apple users being this chic, trendy upscale type of person. he makes pretty gadgets for them, overprice them and caters to their insecurities and or narcissists tendencies. apple fans tend to see their pricy gadgets as status symbols and believe me, it shows.
p.s "I am not a Fanboy!!"
And idk about you but I love using my iPhone but I don't think of it as a status thing. Those are insecure 16 yr old teenage girls/boys who think the world revolves around them. And yes, Steve Jobs is a creepy big brother like person who wants to brainwash everyone into buying his overpriced products. But who cares?
This is just my thought, so bear with me-
I see apple and the iPhone going the same path as guitar hero. They were only available to one certain group [AT&T] (as guitar hero was PS2 exclusive). Then came along Rock Band [Android] to compete. As a result, the iPhone and IOS moves to other groups to increase population [verizon and possibly sprint] (as guitar hero moved to Wii, and XBOX 360). And they start releasing an insane amount of different updates that have almost no difference from the previous (like guitar hero 3, world tour, 5, warriors of rock, aerosmith, Metallica, smash hits, Encore, Van halen, etc.) Eventually, people get tired of this and stop buying their products and services (as Guitar Hero disbanded and went on a hiatus). And more and more people continue to move to Android as they give other options (like Rock Band has the RBN, keyboard, dual vocals, etc.)
Phew, sorry about that rant. It's just what I'm seeing.
Jeez, guys. Android fanbois out the wazzu in here.
Android passing Apple in monthly activations has nothing to do with Android becoming a superior OS, or people liking it better, or its hardware being the shiznit.
It has everything to do with people knowing that around September a new iPhone will be released.
Numbers wise, there probably isn't much change in how many Androids get activated. The iPhones are just slipping a little until the next one.

As a Licensed Marriage Therapist, I work with married, unmarried couples and gay and lesbian couples. While I try to meet with both people, if only 1 person presents for therapy, we still focus upon the couple relationship. Couples present for therapy often frustrated at their inability to solve their differences and feeling hopeless that things won't change. I provide them with a sense of hope by normalizing their experience, helping them work through issues, identify strengths to build upon and give them practical tools of enhancing communication, intimacy, and trust. I help them to build upon strengths and what they are doing right, and move from a negative to a hopeful perspective.

- Organ
Concert and recording artist Christa Rakich is Artist-in-Residence at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Brookline, Mass., and directs the Music Program at St. Mark the Evangelist Church in West Hartford, Conn. She previously served as Assistant University Organist at Harvard.
A prizewinner at international organ competitions (notably Bruges 1976), Rakich has received particular acclaim for her interpretations of the music of J.S. Bach. With keyboardist Peter Sykes, she performed a complete cycle of Bach's keyboard works in a series of 34 concerts from 2003 to 2005 aptly named "Tuesdays with Sebastian." Christa Rakich is a founding member of Ensemble Duemila, and performs regularly with the Fanfare Consort. As a soloist, she performs under the aegis of Independent Concert Artists.
Rakich's performing career has taken her throughout the United States and Europe. Of her featured concert at the Year 2000 National AGO Convention in Seattle, critics said, "Rakich's wonderfully natural ebb and flow went right to the music's heart. The urbane charm and wit certainly came across, as did just the right bit of wildness..." (The American Organist, October 2000). "Christa Rakich's performance and playing ability were exquisitely matched to the justly famous Flentrop at St. Mark's Cathedral, Seattle. She seemed to innately sense the length of phrase for the magnificent acoustic of this formidable box of a room..." (The Diapason, November 2000).
Recordings include J.S. Bach's Clavierübung III (Titanic), Deferred Voices: Organ Music by Women Composers, and Transcriptions from St. Justin's, both for AFKA Records, and Christa Rakich in Recital at St. Mark's Cathedral on the ReZound label.

DeShields flies by steals century mark
Astros' first-round pick reaches milestone in breakout season
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | September 3, 2012 7:04 PM ET
Then he got thrown out.
"I just wanted to get it over with," DeShields said. "And it wasn't working out. I was like, 'God, I'm not gonna get it.' I told myself, 'Don't worry about, if it it happens, it was meant to happen. And if not, 99 steals, I'll still be pleased with that.'"
But with that many steals to his name this season, DeShields wasn't done running. In a season dominated by the buzz surrounding Billy Hamilton's record-setting 155-steal season, DeShields has quietly piled up his share of thefts. A leadoff walk from Tyler Blandford in the seventh opened the door, and the Astros prospect raced right through it.
DeShields stole second for his 100th and then swiped third for his 101st of the season in the seventh of the Class A Advanced JetHawks' 11-5 win over the Mavericks, giving him the most steals in a season for an Astros Minor Leaguer. It also made him just the second player in professional baseball this season to steal at least 100 bases.
"I stole on a pitchout, made it in there,and it was a good feeling," DeShields said. "I was relieved, very relieved. Next pitch, I stole third. I was like, 'OK, there ya go.'"
"I just got [No. 100] out of the way, and I felt more relaxed, I wasn't antsy. I was like, 'That was easy, why couldn't I have done that before?' I was more at ease with myself. And it paid off."
High Desert didn't exactly roll out the red carpet to second base this past weekend. The son of Major League veteran Delino DeShields had been caught twice over the previous two games in the series before being thrown out in the fifth in search of No. 100, which came in his 135th game.
Originally, DeShields said he never dreamed of stealing 100 bases. Coming out of Spring Training, he felt 75 was a good goal.
"I set my goal for 75 in the beginning of the season and then I passed that, and I thought, I might as well shoot for 100 now," he said. "And that's when I set a new goal, after I reached my previous one."
That was definitely easier said than done. DeShields' crime spree wasn't a secret, and opposing pitchers and catchers pulled out every trick in the book to slow down the Astros' No. 11 prospect.
"Holding the ball, pickoff throws five or six times, pitching out, everything they could do -- they'd quick-pitch me, get me off balance, but I just didn't let it faze me," he said. "Being patient -- as soon as the leg went up, I was going. They could do whatever they wanted to, but they weren't going to stop me from stealing."
Hamilton, who broke Vince Coleman's all-time record of 145 last month with Double-A Pensacola, has soaked in the attention with his relentless speed. But 2012 has actually been another big season for stolen bases in the Minors -- at least 10 players have swiped 50 or more bases this year, while Mike Trout's 42 steals currently lead the Majors with a month to go. Last season, 13 Minor Leaguers finished the year with 50 or more steals.
DeShields, Houston's top second-base prospect and No. 11 overall in the system, spent most of his second full season in the Minors with Class A Lexington, where he stole 83 bases in 111 games before moving up to the California League. He stole 15 bases in 22 games last month before adding three in three September games to reach triple digits.
All year long, DeShields saw Hamilton a step ahead.
"I was at like 70-something and he already had 100," DeShields said. "I was on pace to get like 95 and people were talking to me about how there's a good chance there might be two or three players that get 100. I was like, 'Oh man, that'd be awesome.' He played on my dad's team last year, he had 100 last year. I followed him a little bit, but I was more concerned about what I was doing. He's a very talented guy obviously, but I was trying to get mine and not worry about talking about Billy and being put in his shadow."
The breakout year comes after he stole 30 bags in 119 games last summer with Lexington -- a solid season by most standards, but nothing close to what he's accomplished in his third season since being drafted No. 8 overall by Houston in 2010.
What helped DeShields triple his stolen base count? At the plate, the Georgia native has been a true leadoff man. In 537 at-bats, the second baseman is batting .287 with 12 homers, 61 RBIs and a .389 on-base percentage between two levels.
"Just getting on base more, walking more and being a disciplined hitter, a patient hitter," he said. "The main thing was getting on base more, getting more opportunities to steal with me being a leadoff man. I lead off every game, so when I get on, no one else's in front of me. That's the opportunity for me to take two bags."
DeShields has been caught stealing 19 times this year, but he also has 24 doubles and eight triples. But anyone who aims for such a big goal has to have the confidence to fail sometimes.
"My confidence was just going really well," he said. "There was a point where I hadn't been thrown out in the beginning, I had 30 stolen bases safely, so that was a big confidence boost for me. Then I got thrown out, I was like, 'Uh oh.' But I kept going with it."
DeShields said his dad, who manages Class A Dayton in the Reds' system, has offered advice since his youth. The elder DeShields had 463 steals in the Majors, which ranks him 44th on the all-time list.
"My dad helped me, but he taught me at a young age that I'd have to make adjustments on my own," he said. "And I was doing what felt comfortable to me. He told me how he'd steal bases, so I'd implement that into my base stealing this year, and it worked out."
Overall, DeShields said he's satisfied with his production this year beyond the base stealing. A first-round pick with the pressure to perform, he felt he needed to prove himself again this season.
"It's been a very good year for me, I finally feel like I got back on my feet again after struggling last year, and I feel like I proved a lot of people wrong," he said. "I had people doubting me and I didn't let it faze me. I worked really hard this offseason, I told myself it would never happen again."
Lancaster third baseman Jonathan Meyer did his best to upstage DeShields with a pair of homers and five RBIs to lead the JetHawks' 13-hit attack. DeShields finished 0-for-2 with a walk, while starter Blair Walters picked up the win despite allowing five runs in 5 2/3 innings.

William Merritt Chase
Portrait of a Lady in Pink
William Merritt Chase
American, 1849-1916
Portrait of a Lady in Pink, ca. 1888–1889
Oil on canvas
178.4 x 102.2 cm (70 1/4 x 40 1/4 inches)
Gift of Isaac C. Bates 94.010
William Merritt Chase's confident technique reflects both his academic training in Munich and his interest in French Impressionism. Combining both influences, he opposes fine modeling in the sitter's face and arms with the bravura brushstrokes that create her frothy gown. The pink tonal motif acknowledges a debt to James A. M. Whistler (1834-1903), as does the decorative Japanesque scrim used as a unifying background. Chase considered the portrait one of his best and submitted it to the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Purchased by Providence collector Isaac C. Bates, Lady in Pink became the first oil painting by a living American artist to enter the Museum's collection. The model for the portrait was Mariette 'Pansy' Benedict Cotton, one of Chase's students.

Conover, N.C. - Jonathan Poole shot the low round of the day for the Tornados, carding a 77 through the windy conditions at the Rock Barn Golf & Spa on Tuesday afternoon as Brevard finished up the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament in ninth place overall.
T.J. Hoard led the Tornados in the event, finishing the final round with an 80 as he came in 15th overall in the event, narrowly missing out on All-Tournament honors. The freshman carded a three round score of 232, the sixth-lowest score by a Tornado men's golfer in the conference tournament.
Poole began the third round of the tournament in a tie for 34th and improved his position by ten spots with his second 77 of the tournament to finish in a tie for 24th overall with a three-round score of 238.
Thomas Rennie and Michael Stamper also took the field for Coach Matt Adamski, with Rennie finishing the two-day tournament with a score of 251 to finish tied for 42nd, while Stamper dropped 11 strokes off his second round score to finish tied for 46th overall with a score of 255.

Child Therapist
Patricia Petrone, M.S., LMHC
NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor/Psychotherapist
East Avenue, Rochester, New York
Do you have children that are acting out behaviorally? Has your child or young loved one suffered from a trauma they are not fully able to understand? Or perhaps you have noticed a marked shift in your child's emotions. Reach out to help your child today. I am here to evaluate the source of changes in your child and build trust and connection with them that will allow them to learn new ways of coping. Once evaluated I connect them with one of the three child/parent experts on my team where several modes of therapy will be utilized. This ensures a strong therapeutic match. Art therapy, Play therapy, and Family therapy are just the beginning. Affordability is our priority for families as well.
Child Therapist
Theressa McMorris, MS, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
208 N. Meadow St., Ithaca, New York
When children are hurting, they need someone who can speak their language. At all different developmental levels, children come with a unique way to express themselves that is unlike adults. They need to be met where they are at and cared for. Harvest House loves working with children. They have a voice and we would like to listen.
Child Therapist
Laurie Agnello, LMHC, CASAC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor/ CASAC, MsED, NCC
3380 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York
As a school based counselor in Wayne and Monroe counties, for many years I had the opportunity to counsel young children, adolescents and teens individually and in a group setting. At the high school level I have taught a class in several high schools called "Reconnecting Youth." This class addressed academics, drug use and social skills. In a high school setting students were seen for counseling to address concerns of self esteem, anger, drug use, bullying and various other issues and concerns. I have counseling children K-12th grade with family issues including having a family member who had a drug addiction.
Child Therapist
Karyn Dietz, LMHC, NCC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor
1140 Crosspointe lane, suite 4, Webster, New York
I work with children ages 13+ for anxiety and depression. Private therapy is not a recommended setting for children with risk of harm to self or others (a clinic setting with more supports and more hours than I offer would be the recommendation). For teens with general anxiety, social anxiety, and depression, therapy can help provide the support and validation needed to be able to improve self talk, thought patterns, and mood.
Child Therapist
Kathryn Castle, PhD, LMHC, ACS, DCC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
46 Prince Street, LL004, Rochester, New York
You as parents are the most important people in your child's life. When a child is struggling, you often don't know where to turn. I specialize in assisting children in distress by working with the child's parents, not directly with the child. I can provide you with the support that you need while you learn how to be more effective parents and deal with your conflicted emotions. I can help you to turn things around by teaching you how to set boundaries, identify logical consequences, and maintain consistency. When you change your behaviors, your child's will change as a result. Life will become calmer and your child's emotional well-being will improve.

Remaining unsettled with sunny spells and showers through Tuesday. The heaviest and most frequent showers affecting the north and west, with much of the south staying largely dry, with sunny spells. We are likely to see a low pressure system push in from the Atlantic on Wednesday, bringing a spell of wet and windy weather to some western parts of the United Kingdom, spreading to all parts on Thursday. Thereafter, we are likely to see a return to sunshine and showers, most frequent and heaviest in the northwest. Into the weekend and early next week, we may begin to see conditions becoming more settled across the UK, with high pressure building from the southwest, with a predominately north-westerly flow. Temperatures will generally be around normal to rather cool throughout.
Updated at: 1300 on Thu 27 Jul 2017
UK Outlook for Friday 11 Aug 2017 to Friday 25 Aug 2017:
There are increasing signals for high pressure to build during this period, which would allow for more settled conditions across the United Kingdom, with a predominately west to north-westerly flow becoming established. However, there will still be the risk of spells of rain or showers, mainly in the north, but overall a good deal of dry weather with some sunshine, especially in the south. Temperatures generally near normal by day, but potentially rather cool at night. By the middle of August signals become mixed, with low confidence. On balance though, we are most likely to see a northwest/southeast split in weather conditions across the United Kingdom, with some rain or showers in the northwest and drier conditions with some sunshine in the southeast.

After your prepared popcorn mixture is cool enough to handle, but still pliable, grease your hands with butter or vegetable pan spray. Form the popcorn mixture into a ball, then stick a cookie stick into the ball. Place on waxed paper until completely set.

A broken arm involves one or more of the three bones in your arm — the ulna, radius and humerus. One of the most common causes of a broken arm is falling onto an outstretched hand. If you think you or your child has broken an arm, seek prompt medical attention. It's important to treat a fracture as soon as possible for proper healing.
Treatment depends on the site and severity of the injury. A simple break may be treated with a sling, ice and rest. However, the bone may require realignment (reduction) in the emergency room.
A more complicated break might require surgery to realign the broken bone and to implant wires, plates, nails or screws to maintain proper alignment during healing.
