The T&C Guide to Heir Bands: 14 Rockers Who Come From Money
"Do you mind keeping my rowing shell from Yale?" Ed Brewster had asked when we bought Camp Longwood from him. Of course we agreed, as it was hanging up in the game room, a very beautiful old wooden boat. Many years later his son called and asked if we still had the rowing shell, as his dad had passed away. He told us how much it would mean to him to have it back with his family. That passing on of things from one generation to the next—the feeling that things are meant to be shared, not owned—is a tradition in the Adirondacks and one of the reasons we have loved being here for about 30 years.
Bruce has always been interested in the Adirondack Mountains. Our first experience in that world was when he had rented a small cabin on Saranac Lake. He was photographing there, while Nan was always going off exploring the area. One day we met a group of young people who lived on Upper St. Regis Lake, a lake we had not heard of. Eventually a few of the group began to model for Bruce. One of the girls brought Nan to see Upper St. Regis; she had her mother meet Nan at the landing, as you can get to most of the camps only by boat. During the tour she pointed out all the great camps—Topridge, the Vanderbilt Camp, Camp Katia, Camp Wild Air—explaining that they very rarely came up for sale. The residents usually found a way to keep a camp in a lake family. There were a couple that were for sale at this time. We looked at one, but the owner did not want to sell it or even rent it to us because he found out we were Democrats!
Eventually we found Camp Longwood, also known as the Brewster Camp, on Spitfire Lake. George C. Brewster, a major shareholder of Standard Oil, built it in 1906. (His father had been one of the company's original trustees.) Edward Brewster, George's son, sold it to us after Nan wrote to his lawyer every six months or so asking if the camp might be available. And then, one day in April, just as the lake began to thaw, we received a letter in the mail from Ed Brewster telling us he was ready to sell. We had never really seen Longwood, so Nan went up right away, flying through a snowstorm. When she arrived the camp was still boarded up from the winter. With the caretaker's help she was able to peek in the various cabins. The Brewsters were selling not only Longwood but also everything in it. This is the tradition on the lake whenever a camp is sold. Longwood had many wonderful paintings, as well as Stickley furniture that had been made specifically for the camp. They left all their boats, including a Fay & Bowen, one of only about 150 ever made. The moment Nan arrived, she realized it was a very special and amazing place.
When she returned to New York that evening she was so excited, and over dinner she showed the many Polaroids she had taken to Bruce, as well as to Azzedine Alaïa and Beth Levine. They all kept looking at them and insisting, "This is your place; you must find a way to have it." And so we did. No negotiations. Just a handshake, as Ed told us, "You have my word."
The summer we moved in, Brewster relatives came over to meet us from across the lake. They were surprised that Ed had sold Longwood to us and hadn't even let them know he was thinking of selling. As the new people on the lake, we felt we had entered a different world. Everyone was curious; they didn't know what we were about. Bruce would wear his cordovans with no socks, and they had never seen anything like that. We were the only camp that had a TV. They were always making fun of the crazy things we did, but soon enough we started getting calls on Friday night or Sunday afternoon asking, "Hey, can I come over and watch the game?" You really have to live there for at least 10 years before they think of you as part of the lake family.
Bruce had a wonderful sailing instructor named Laura Duncan. Her family had been up there for many generations. They had hymn sings at their place every Sunday, as her father Ransom was a lay minister. Laura was constantly saying things to Bruce like, "You showbiz people are going to take over this lake!" We had never been referred to as "showbiz people." Many of the residents on the lake are from business and banking families. Photography, fashion, and filmmaking were new to them. Laura, laughing, told Bruce, "The next thing you know, Tina Turner and Brooke Shields are gonna be up here!" Bruce looked at her and thought, "How does she know that?"
Bruce was always a Rockwell Kent fan, and we collect his drawings, paintings, and books. Kent had a farm in Keene Valley, not too far away. Many of his bookplates and paintings were done there. We were surprised to learn that Winslow Homer painted quite a bit in the Adirondacks too. It just seemed natural for Bruce to be doing his photography in the Adirondacks. Upper St. Regis is so old-guard, and we found it inspiring to see men and women in their later years out rowing or sailing in beautiful old canoes and guide boats. They were always friendly, and they love the lakes for the natural beauty of them—the clean water and the moss in the woods. Very often we would be out on Spitfire Lake and see an elderly lady driving a boat and wearing an old L.L. Bean men's hunting coat with a beautiful Hermès scarf tied around her neck. It inspired many fashion photographs.
All the lakes up here are wonderful places for older people. There's almost a European feeling, with many generations of families around. Countess Alicia Spaulding Paolozzi's family has a wonderful camp on Upper St. Regis. When she was a girl, she raced cars in Italy. By the time we met her she was barely able to walk, and yet she would drive her boat around to see friends. Sometimes she would come over to see us, and as it was difficult for her to get up to the top of the landing, we would just come down and sit by her boat. She would say, "I don't care about coming up. I just want to talk to you two!" Her family is still on the lake, and their camp has one of the most beautiful wooden Palladian buildings in the Adirondacks.
The famous Camp Topridge is on Upper St. Regis. It was originally owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post. We're still hearing stories of how she would invite everyone from all three of the lakes—Upper St. Regis, Lower St. Regis, and Spitfire—to come over for a movie and square dance once a week. Every time we see her daughter Dina Merrill she reminisces about the Adirondacks and her love of Topridge.
Everyone remembers their time spent here. We were recently with Stella McCartney. She had come up when she was just beginning her career. We were shooting a magazine story with her, Kate Moss, Marianne Faithfull, and Lucie de la Falaise. Every time we see them, to this day, they always ask, "When are we going to have a reunion?" It was a special time.
Here on Spitfire Lake it is so quiet. Jet skis are not allowed. We love how peaceful it is. Years ago people with tuberculosis would come "for the cure." The air made them healthy again. It's a perfect place for families—that's the beauty of camp life, where you ring the breakfast bell, the lunch bell, and the dinner bell. It's a great sound to hear through the pines. Everyone can be off doing their own thing—hiking, playing tennis (we have a clay court in the middle of the woods), swimming, boating (it's wonderful to see kids learning to sail), or just sitting around reading. It's probably the ideal place to read. The bell rings and everyone gets together, and then they all go their separate ways again. That's one of the reasons they call it camp.
Since we have been here we have always had many dogs. (We now have six.) They have all had incredible lives here at Camp Longwood. It's such a paradise for them, as they can run free and swim whenever they want to. Every time we get a new dog we always think how we cannot wait until we bring him or her to the Adirondacks.
Many days we will jump into our large rubber boat. You can bounce into—and off of—anything. It's so handy when Bruce is working on landscape pictures. We do get work done here. Each of us has an office cabin. We edited our film Let's Get Lost here. (The film is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.) We were so happy to share this place with the editors who worked on the film. We would listen to every song Chet Baker played or sang while we reviewed all the footage with the peacefulness of the Adirondacks all around us.
It's the perfect place to have a lot of friends visit, as we often do. But it's also nice to have downtime here. We have a small cabin, which we built in the middle of the woods. You have to climb up pretty high to get to it. We have a small pool up there made out of a stone cistern. The pool is really warm, about 90 degrees. A lot of the people around Upper St. Regis think we are wimps for having a pool so warm, but they like to be invited over for a swim. We sleep in the cabin, with its screen walls. It's like sleeping outside. It's one of our favorite places at Camp Longwood. We love to go swimming and then jump right into bed, with so many covers on top, so warm and heavy when it's cold at night. And as the fog surrounds us, we just watch a movie or the stars shining through.

The single template in this section was created by our web designer Hinoriko. These animal and pet drupal templates are a good solution for all the pet lovers, pet stores, pet supply companies, animal services, pet clubs, and any animal related online store or website. You will find plenty of dog and cat themes for starting your own personal website or business that could be anything from showing off puppies and kittens, or for selling pet related services and products. Some of these drupal templates are also great for ideas and services that revolve more around exotic and wild animals such as tigers, lions, toucans, pandas, elephants, and lizards. Our Drupal themes are made for use with the PHP-based open source CMS platform called Drupal.

Drupal provides webmaster with a diverse set of administrative capabilities and yet remains very comfortable and easy to use. It enables its users to create and organize website content, edit the layout, automate some administrative functions, etc. Despite Drupal's diverse interface all of the functions can be carried out with no programming skills. Our animals & pet Drupal templates are easy to install onto this CMS engine because one of the key features of Drupal CMS is themes support.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
- Juugo's ability allows him to naturally gather a certain type of natural energy but it's not exactly the same as Kabuto's Sage mode which is a more controlled balanced version. Just as the frog style has consequences for those unable to control it turning into statues. The snake style which I theorize is more mental heavy drives you mad.
- All living things & possibly non living posses natural energy but it requires focus and control to draw out sage mode.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Kind of Ironic when you look at things now, Naruto and Sasuke seems to be caught in a cycle that started with those two.
Most likely both sides will pull back after they realize that they're evenly matched.
Holy crap, I typed "Naruto 624 release date" and found a link where someone copy+pasted my post from this thread. >_>
Swear it's not my blog.
Man's gotta keep the hits counting.

text: Pop songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Debi Nova knew she wanted a career in music prior to becoming a teenager. Born in San Jose, Costa Rica, she first learned piano at the age of four and was fronting a locally popular band within a matter of several years. After high school, she moved to Los Angeles to attend UCLA, but her studies were sidetracked when she was invited to join Sergio Mendes on tour as a background vocalist; this opened the door to a series of collaborations, from 2001 through 2004, with the disparate likes of Maxwell, Norman Brown, the Black Eyed Peas, Louie Vega, and Boney James. It wasn't until the fall of 2004 that she released her first single, the vibrant "One Rhythm," which was remixed by Ralphi Rosario and went to the top of the Billboard Dance Music/Club Play chart. Though her solo career stalled, she remained productive as a collaborator, appearing on recordings by Rhymefest, Ricky Martin, Charlie Wilson, Sean Paul, Vikter Duplaix, Britney Spears, Illa J, and Sa-Ra. All this activity fostered her growth not only as a performer but as a songwriter comfortable writing in both Spanish and English (sometimes within the same song). By the time she linked with Decca and prepared her debut album, 2010's Luna Nueva, she had six Latin Grammy nominations to her credit. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

Tend Skin, 8 fl oz
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- About the brand
Tend Skin calms razor burn, bumps and ingrown hairs.
Isopropyl Alcohol, Water (Reverse Osmosis), Propylene Glycol, AcetylsalicylicAcid, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin.
Tend Skin calms razor burn, bumps and ingrown hairs in 24 hours. Just apply thelotion to legs, face, underarms, bikini area, face or neck and say goodbye tothose ingrown hairs and shaving bumps. Great for men, too. Use as needed ordaily to calms
For those with "razor bumps" (PFB): Apply Tend Skin twice per day atfirst. Apply at night before sleep and again in the morning after shaving. Oncethe skin clears (usually in 48 hours), you should apply daily to maintain clearskin.
We strongly advise using a fresh sharp razor, be it single or double edge,and replacing it after one or two shaves. Clippers can be used, however you willnot get as smooth a shave. Applying before shaving will decrease the burning anditching associated with PFB. You will find your own pattern of use. To avoid eyeirritation, do not "splash" on to face! We recommend a cotton ball.
For men who have unsightly razor burn on their necks, or redness from wearinga tie, applying Tend Skin after shaving should clear the skin, usually in amatter of hours. Daily use will prevent the problem.
For ingrown hairs: Applying Tend Skin to existing ingrown hairs will clear manyof them in 24 to 48 hours. Tweezing is not needed or advised as resulting skindamage can increase the formation of ingrown hairs.
For use with electrolysis: Applying before electrolysis will help protect theskin during the procedure. Applying after electrolysis will quench the burningand reduce the redness within minutes. Applying several times weekly will reduceingrown hair formation
For use with waxing: applying Tend Skin before waxing will "ease"the wax "pull". The hairs will "feel" loosened. Then applyafter waxing to reduce redness within minutes, and the next day you should nothave post-wax
Method of application: Tend Skin may be applied with a cotton ball or withthe fingertips. Rinse hands after use. The product may be rubbed on thus actingas a cleanser. It also acts as an astringent for oily skin. To avoid irritationto the eyes, do not "splash" on when applying to facial area.
Developed almost by accident in 1985, Tend Skin skincare solution calms razor burn, bumps and ingrown hairs for smooth, flawless skin.
Excellent ProductI bought a bottle on eBay for $17, and I am very glad to say that it was been money wisely spent! Tend Skin is a great product. I have bumps and scars in my underarms due to ingrowns from shaving, and they seem to be disappearing. Also, I had really deep ingrowns, like, that were at least 1mm below the skin, and Tend Skin has made it possible to get them out. What this liquid basically does is exfoliate the top layer of the skin. It doesnt hurt and has no odor, and youll see results in a few days (provided that you apply the solution every day). You should definitely try this!Jul 5, 2007Carlota

Miracle ProductPrior to purchasing this product, I read all of the reviews and the vast majority of them were extremely positive (you always have to wonder about the negative ones though).As a black man, I (like most black men), tend to get razor bumps when we shave too closely. For as long as I have been shaving, I have had to use a trimmer to shave in order to avoid getting razor bumps. Unfortunately, a trimmer does not give a very close shave.Well, I took the plunge, purchased this product and it is incredible. When I received it, I brought it with me to the barbershop so that after I got a full cream shave from my barber, I could apply it. Needless to say, I did not get any razor bumps and I can now shave with a straight edge. There was no burning or irritation (usually hits the day after). It is truly unbelievable! My wife cannot believe the results either.Get this product if you suffer from razor bumps!Jun 27, 2007Paul Roberts / New York City

AmazingI am a 24 year old Nigerian man with relatively dark skin. Ingrown hairs have plagued me since i started shaving regularly. Nothing has worked as well as tend skin. It might burn a bit when you start to use it, but in a week you will wonder how you ever did without it. Pricey though, but worth it.Jun 26, 2007Akin / Dallas, TX

Tend Skin Is GreatI was embarrased with the look of my undersrms. I had been getting a lot of ingrown hairs. At some point they would start hurting. I had so many scars it was embarrassing and with the heating rising i thought i wasnt going to wear tank tops this summer. I was searching for doctors to consult about laser removal but with all the open skin I didnt know if they would be able to do anything about it. I found this product and i loved it. At the bein it burned but now it is all normal i just went shopping for new sleeveless shirts. Thanks to this product i have normal underarms. No more ingrown hairs.Apr 19, 2007Sandra Garcia / Las Vegas

Works Great For Underarmsi have extremely sensitive skin and get razor bumps under my arms and at my bikini line. this product (which seems to be mainly rubbing alcohol) prevented the razor bumps under my arms, but did not prevent them at my bikini line. i have been told by a dermatologist that the bumps are folliculitis, or an inflammation of the hair follicle. i guess it makes sense that cleansing the skin with alcohol (or an alcohol based product such as this one) could prevent the inflammation and subsequent ingrown hairs, but for whatever reason, this did not hold true at my bikini line.Mar 25, 2007Noreen Thompson / Centereach,ny

Helped With Ingrown Hairsthis stuff definitely decreased the number of ingrown hairs on my bikini line after using an epilator. i apply it before hair removal and after, and once a day inbetween hair removals, after exfoliating. theres still a few ingrown hairs, but definite improvement.Mar 15, 2007Beth / Florida

Must Have For Waxed AreasI have been getting bikini waxes for years and Ive learned that if I use this product regularly I barely have ingrowns and bumps (and I have course, dark hair). It does dry out my skin so I bought some exfoliating gloves and use those in the shower daily to keep the dry skin off. If you get regular waxes, this is the absolute best product and totally worth the money. To make it last longer, dont use cotton balls use the cotton squares--they are thinner and you dont have to use as much to get it onto your skin.Jan 5, 2007Mary / Chicago, IL

Now I Use Solution2 By Min And Its BetterI used to use Tendskin and about a month ago I bought the new Solution2. It works MUCH BETTER. It smells great and does not burn nearly as much as Tendskin. I love it!Nov 14, 2006Bonnie / Newton, MA

Oh, what a treasure! Save this, and find a way to archive it -- in my opinion, you will be glad you did. We have some precious early gifts and words from our children, and we wouldn't trade them for anything!ReplyDelete

Go NaturallyFor more than 30 years, Hillside Candy has offered delicious "better-for-you" products made with American pride. This commitment continues in their great-tasting GoNaturally USDA Certified Organic Candy. GoNaturally is the #1 selling adult organic candy, and the fastest growing brand in the organic candy category as reported by SPINS, the leader of syndicated data tracking in the Natural Products Industry. Frequently Asked Questions: What does Organic really mean?The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 was established because there was a lot of confusion about the definition. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Organic means food with no artificial fertilizers, genetic modification, irradiation or conventional pesticides. These days, the term "organic" is not only applied to fruits and vegetables, but also to beef, chicken, milk, eggs, grains….and, yes, even to candy. What is the difference between the terms "Natural" and "Organic"?Natural foods are different from organic foods. Organic food is produced without using: most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering or ionizing radiation. Natural foods are "purer" than conventional foods, and do not contain any additives, such as preservatives or artificial coloring. While "natural" has no legal meaning, only products inspected and certified by the USDA can be labeled "organic." What are some of the benefits of buying organic foods?Eating organic foods can reduce the amount of pesticides and chemicals that non-organic foods may bring into your body. You are also reducing your exposure to antibiotics, genetically modified crops, hormones and irradiated foods. Therefore, it isn't just about what directly goes into your mouth, it is also about what remains in your body after the food is digested. Is GoNaturally Gluten Free?The University of Nebraska analyzed a variety of flavors of GoNaturally resulting in a "Below the Limit of Quantification." There were less than 10 parts per million of gluten. What labor standards are involved with sourced ingredients?Hillside sources its organic ingredients from a supplier which uses a production facility that participates in collective bargaining, with work contract in place. Does GoNaturally Organic Candy taste good?Get the best tasting organic candy available. GoNaturally is flavorful and refreshing. GoNaturally uses organic evaporated cane juice and organic brown rice syrup for sweetness. Organic brown rice syrup is minimally processed and not highly refined as tapioca syrup is...tapioca syrup is really no different than corn syrup. This is CLEAN candy, containing no trans fats, no preservatives, no corn syrup, no FD&C colors and no hydrogenated oils. The line has a 2 year shelf life, is gluten free and Kosher. Adults and kids can feel good about having GoNaturally as a wholesome treat.

Question: Why do flight attendants still need to demonstrate how seatbelts work? If someone already doesn't know, they probably can't follow other safety instructions.
-- submitted by reader James, North Carolina
Answer: I had the same thought until recently when I saw an elderly lady having trouble with her seatbelt. The flight attendant recognized the problem and helped her by explaining, again, the operation. The lady informed her that it was her first flight and the belt was different from her car. I realized while most passengers have heard the seatbelt demonstration countless times, occasionally someone is hearing it for the first time.
Q: Are seat belts a standard size, or do some airlines skimp on their length?
-- Steve Goldsmith, N.J.
A: The size of the seatbelt is determined by the seat manufacturer and then approved by the FAA. There may be some variation. I would not say that airlines skimp on their length. When seats are changed there can be a difference in belt length, but it is usually a small difference. If your selt belt doesn't fit, you can always request an extender from the flight attendant.
Q: Is there a law about wearing seat belts? Also, I have noticed a wide disparity between airline captains and their level of communication with passengers. I really appreciate having feedback from the cockpit, and am astounded by many passengers' casual attitude to the seat belt announcements.
-- Ron, Wisconsin
A: The FAA requires that passengers follow the signs and flight attendant instruction regarding seat belt usage. It is a "law," due to the FAA being the federal agency responsible for regulating aviation.
The most effective action a passenger can take to prevent injury in flight is to keep their seat belt fastened when they are in the seat. I do on every flight.
I agree with you that there is a vast difference in the communication provided by different pilots. Most of us realize that there are likely nervous fliers onboard and try to provide timely information.

SA: No problem at all and much appreciation. I'm actually quite a fan of the blog as well so I feel pretty privileged to be doing this interview.
GDD™: Let's get right to it, I have noticed that you have played a bunch of shows in BC, any plans for a trip to the states?
SA: Most definitely. I think it's within every artist from Canada's plan to break through to the states. The market is huge and the genre itself seems to be taking a tight hold over all the people that are interested in it in North America, creating this big movement that seems to have no real signs of slowing down.
GDD™: I agree, I don't see any end in sight for the dubstep movement. I know this is a tough one, but what is your favorite show you have ever played? Also, what was the best show you ever attended?
SA: The best show I played myself was the time I opened for Datsik in August. Everyone got there early, the energy was unbelievable from start to finish and it wasn't only the first big show I had played with a new promotion company but it was also the first time I got to play out Human Error before I gave it out. The best show I have ever attended, however, was Shambhala. It's an outdoor music festival near Nelson, BC that brings thousands of like-minded people in one beautiful place to experience some of the best music out there. A lot of people will probably recognize the name from Excision's yearly set and I encourage anyone thinking about going to quit hesitating and go. It's nuts.
GDD™: Although dubstep started in the UK, it has certainly become a worldwide movement, with artists emerging all over the world. In Canada you have two of my favorite names, Datsik and Zeds Dead, how has the scene in Canada influenced you?
SA: It's influenced me immensely. Artists like Downlink, Datsik (as you said), and Excision have been huge inspirations and catalysts for pushing myself to create bigger and badder sounds. As far as the scene itself, I know that different cities in Canada like Calgary are really feeling the sound and have profound artists coming out of there with their own unique takes on the genre as well. I'm always stoked to hear what other up and coming producers from Canada have to offer as well as other producers from around the world.
GDD™: What do you think is next for dubstep?
SA: Bigger sounds, more record labels and (fortunately or unfortunately depending on the way you look at it) mainstreaming. As all these much poppier, more melodic driven tracks come out, a lot of people who wouldn't necessarily have taken to the genre before are really starting to like it.. But even then there will still be a place for the people who dig the darker stuff. I don't think that will ever change.
GDD™:I read that you used to be in a metal band, how has your love for metal influenced your production and what bands in particular influenced you growing up? How did you make the transition from metal band to electronic music?
SA: I love anything really heavy and driving in music right off the bat it seems. I was, and still am, a huge fan of bands like Spawn of Possession, Opeth, Meshuggah etc. I also grew up in a smaller town playing lots of older video games and loving the sounds of all the different synths that were used to make the music for them. I guess it would be the combination of both those things that brought me to electronic music in the end.
GDD™: Oracle is much different than your other tunes, is this an indication of a new direction for Sub Antix?
SA: I wouldn't say so. I generally produce the kinds of tracks that are similar to the ones I am really feeling to at that moment. When I was making Oracle though I actually intended to make another bigger harsher track but nothing really seemed to compliment the intro. So I went the opposite direction and found something that fit a lot better.
GDD™: Today, there are so many different sounds in dubstep, who, in particular do you think is pushing the scene in a new direction and who would you say is your biggest influence?
SA: Both really tough choices. With all these new releases coming out lately it's hard to be specific. If I had to pick 3 I would say Skism, Subscape and Flux Pavillion have crazy originality in their own ways and are definitely pushing the genre. As far as my biggest influence I gotta say Reso. Definitely one of the most diverse producers out there and the quality and dynamics of his tracks are continuously insane.
GDD™: We are beginning to see much more dubstep artists performing at raves, and in many dubstep stages have replaced drum n bass stages. Do you think the rave scene will have an effect dubstep?
SA: I think it's going to become more and more common to hear dubstep at big raves but the key is variety. At huge events like that people value choice, and I would have to say dubstep is a pretty good choice.
GDD™: Thanks again for the interview Keith, best to you.
And of course, here are your 320 dubs ; )

In working with calculations regarding the timing of the Resurrection, I believe it makes a difference whether Jesus rose during the night hours or the daylight hours of the Jewish civil day. I noticed the aorist participle "anateilantos" in Mark 16:2 contains useful data in determining this. I have had some Greek education but not nearly enough to be proficient, so I find an interlinear helpful. I was reading the NASB Interlinear Greek-English New Testament which uses the 21st edition of the Nestle Greek text. In Mark 16:2 Beza reads the present participle "anatellontos", but the variant is extremely doubtful and this edition of the Critical Text recognizes the aorist participle "anateilantos". There is a literal translation beneath it by Alfred Marshall, a British Greek scholar and tutor who also published a Greek primer. Mark 16:2 says the women arrived at the empty tomb "anateilantos the sun". Marshall translated this as "rising the sun" and adds a footnote which says "= as the sun rose". The King James Version of 1611 agrees with this when it says "at the rising of the sun", meaning that the women arrived at the tomb as the sun was crossing the horizon, not after it had already risen.
Many other translations, however, state that the women arrived after the sun had risen. The American Standard Version of 1901 reads "when the sun was risen". The New American Standard Bible reads "when the sun had risen", and the New King James Version agrees with this. Interestingly, going all the way back to John Wycliffe, he reads "And full early in one of the week days, they came to the sepulchre, when the sun was risen".
Can "anateilantos" here be translated either "rising" or "had risen" according to the preference of the translator, or is the correct reading now known to place the action after the participle? If so, why would Wycliffe have done that, but the later King James Translators and Marshall used "rising"? Thank you for any help.

"Support on Site is about assisting new teachers—we want them to stay in the profession," explained NJEA Secretary-Treasurer Marie Blistan. "In fact, we want them to lead the profession."
Blistan spoke to 31 leaders from nine local associations that are piloting NJEA's SOS (Support on Site) program during the 2013-14 school year. The group was assembled for training on how to create and support SOS in individual school buildings.
Support on Site originated in the Gloucester Township School district a decade ago. In 2006, NJEA packaged the program so that other local associations could offer this group support system to non-tenured teachers. In Gloucester Township, SOS has reduced the number of new teachers leaving the district and encouraged younger members to become more active in the association. At the same time, veteran teachers who serve as SOS facilitators report a sense of rejuvenation as they counsel those who have just joined the profession.
The problem of teachers with less than five years on the job leaving the profession remains in other districts, however, so NJEA launched the SOS pilot in hopes of injecting new enthusiasm for the program.
SOS consists of monthly meetings on topics of interest to inexperienced educators. NJEA has prepared modules on several topics, such as parent engagement, classroom management, and technology integration, although facilitators are free to select their own topic.
Woven into each module is a discussion of educator rights and responsibilities. Participants are also given an opportunity to discuss any current concerns and share their success stories.
"The SOS participants share their joys and their tears," noted retiree Mary Jane Hackney, who served as one of Gloucester Township's first facilities. "They become a family of new teachers."
Gloucester Township EA President Angel McDermott explained that SOS helps new teachers see all that the association offers. "They understand that we are more than a union—we also provide important information and opportunities for professional growth."
Administrative support, confidentiality important to the success of SOS
Ideally, SOS is a joint effort between the local association and building administration. That's why NJEA invited administrators from the pilot districts to participate in the training, held at the Princeton Marriott on June 14.
Marlene Rubin, who founded the program in Gloucester Township when she was the Camden County Teacher of the Year, also addressed the pilot participants. Before she retired in 2010, Rubin worked as a supervisor and oversaw the district's SOS program.
"It can be a wonderful collaboration," said Rubin. "If administrators identify a need, they can ask SOS facilitators to address particular issues, such as classroom management. In the end, both the administration and association are served by teachers who have improved their skills and their understanding of their rights and responsibilities.
Of course, SOS participants need to trust that what happens at SOS meetings will be confidential.
"Trust is a key component," McDermott added. "Young teachers need to know that they can ask questions or vent at SOS meetings without worrying that the principal will hear about it."
Local association presidents who are interested in learning more about SOS or starting a program in their district should contact their local NJEA UniServ representative.

God is wonderful among his saints.
Verse: Bless God in the congregations.
BRETHREN, God who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God: not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

2009 All-Washington Academic Team member David Lim stands between SCC President Lee Lambert and Gov. Chris Gregoire (Click here for more photos).
It may seem a long way from Malaysia and Indonesia to Olympia and a handshake from the governor of Washington, but for two Shoreline Community College students, making the journey was just a matter wanting … and a lot of hard work.
The combination paid off for David Lim and Fitri Ardani on Thursday, March 26, when Gov. Chris Gregoire placed medals around their necks, signifying membership on the 2009 All-Washington Academic Team. The ceremony for the two Shoreline students and 60 others from every community and technical college in the state took place at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia. Joining Lim and Ardani on stage to honor their academic achievement was SCC President Lee Lambert.
Lim knew while still in high school in Kuala Lumpur that his path would lead to an education in the United States. With a relative in the area, Seattle was the obvious choice and Shoreline the ultimate destination.
"My father and I made the decision together," said 17-year-old. Among his friends in Malaysia, going to school in the U.S. wasn't a huge leap. "I have friends going to school in California and Minnesota."
At Shoreline, Lim has a 3.99 grade-point average (GPA), is an International Program Peer Mentor, a member of the political science and economics club and helped his DECA team to third place in a national competition. Lim will finish his degree at Shoreline after summer quarter and hopes to move on to a four-year school for a degree international business and accounting. "I've applied to the University of Washington, the University of Indiana, both the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses," Lim said.
Ardani, 18, came to Shoreline from one of the smaller cities on the island of Java. She, too, doesn't see her efforts to come to the U.S. as extraordinary, just the outgrowth of her own drive and goals. Her work at SCC has resulted in a 3.79 GPA and is aiming at a degree in accounting. Ardani is also looking at the University of Washington and University of Indiana. She is also considering Seattle University. While at Shoreline, Ardani is also focusing on English language skills and volunteers as an ESL tutor.
The Olympia ceremony was the 14th year for community and technical college students to be recognized for their academic achievements and community involvement.
Besides handing out the medals, Gregoire was also the keynote speaker.
"There's no better community and technical college system than right here in Washington State," she said. "I'm proud of that and I'm so proud of all of you. I'm delighted to be with you today to celebrate your success."
This year's academic team was made up of 62 students representing 33 community and technical colleges.
The top award - the 2009 New Century Scholar - went to 17-year-old Running Start student Tierney Kuhn of Highline Community College.
Kuhn is a computer science major with a 3.9 GPA. She is pursuing both Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees at the same time. She is co-president of Highline's Phi Theta Kappa chapter and president of the Software Engineering Club. She is also active in many activities at her high school, including Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). In the fall, she will continue her education at Princeton University.
Gregoire said while she was delighted that Kuhn was transferring to Princeton, she hoped she was planning to return to Washington. "Please come back," she said. "Washington needs you."
Douglas Gannon, 45, of Green River Community College was the second-ranked team member. After more than 16 years in the Air Force, Gannon came to Green River through the Veteran's Conservation Corps program, which aids military veterans in their pursuit of "green collar" jobs. Focusing on Geographic Information Systems and Natural Resources, he earned more than 70 credits in his first year, while maintaining a 3.8 GPA. Outside the classroom, he spends another 20 hours a month working on conservation and habitat service projects throughout the Northwest.
Gregoire thanked Gannon for his service and for pursuing his degrees, adding, "Green collar jobs are our future."
The third highest honor went to Theresa Burch, 39, of Spokane Falls Community College. Married with three young children, Burch worked 14 years at a local plywood mill before returning to school to pursue her goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. She maintains a 3.93 GPA.
Gregoire commended her for her hard work and also congratulated team member Amanda Suter, a Running Start student and mechanical engineering major from Lower Columbia College.
"If there is more we need in Washington, it is people like Amanda," the Governor said, explaining Washington needs more young people pursuing engineering degrees.
All Academic Team members receive a $750 scholarship from the Northwest Education Loan Association and KeyBank of Washington. In addition, every state public and private four-year baccalaureate institution and City University are offering scholarships to attend their institutions.

"This is as fine a group as we have seen," Trustee Gidget Terpstra said.
Before the vote, Trustee Jerry Smith said, "This institution has top-notch people. It is a privilege to be around such quality people."
Smith added that while the Board reviewed the candidates' information, it was apparent that they are exceptional educators. "You set very high goals and then as you get close, you hold them off, demanding the most from yourselves," Smith said.
Trustee Roger Olstad, who has extensive experience with similar reviews at the University of Washington, acknowledged that SCC's process is the equal of the UW's and as rigorous as any four-year school in the country.
Friends, family and supporters crowded the board room for the vote, awards and then moved to the gallery for photos.
The trustees also renewed the tenure-track process for nine other faculty members. Those faculty members are:
Maureen Chao –Academic Adviser, International Programs
Cynthia Okawara - Academic Adviser, International Programs

By MIKE MILESUS 6 Project Manager
Dear Editor:
Recently the Utah Department of Transportation received a letter of concern regarding US Highway 6. The author chose to write anonymously and signed his letter, "A Frequent Highway Traveler," with the request that we respond in the Price Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress.
In addition to the items mentioned in the letter of concern, UDOT has several projects in the works and planned for US 6 that your readers should know about.
The letter writer was primarily concerned with the recent painting of double yellow lines on some three-lane sections of US 6. These sections typically have two uphill lanes and one downhill lane. The recently painted double yellow lines now prohibit passing in the single downhill lane. The writer is upset that legal passes can no longer be made where passing used to be permitted and feels traffic flow is impeded.
Simply put, the decision to limit passing is intended to help people drive safer. Last year, a safety study on US 6 cited several accidents to improper passing. We found that conflicts arise when motorists traveling in opposing directions use the same middle lane to pass slower vehicles in spite of oncoming traffic.
The double yellow line now prohibits passing in the single downhill lane, but it also reduces the potential for head-on collisions.
In addition to the new painting scheme, UDOT is in the process of creating a painted rumble strip down the Highway's center line as a preventive measure to alert motorists when they cross into oncoming traffic lanes. It's a treatment that hasn't been used much in Utah, but has a proven track record in other states. The rumble strip will be 12" wide with center lines painted inside. Most of this rumble strip will go in areas where passing is prohibited.
UDOT has also slated several projects for construction this year and next. The Helper interchange project and the Price to Wellington widening project are designed and being advertised with construction planned to start this fall. Passing lanes are also anticipated next year in the following areas: Mile Marker 195-197; Mile Marker 226-228; Mile Marker 259-262; Bridge near Sunnyside Junction.
A bridge over the railroad near the Peerless Port of Entry is also scheduled for renovation next year, our maintenance crews are installing "Next Passing Lane XX Miles" signs, we will experiment with wet-reflective tape in lieu of paint, and an Environmental Impact Statement on the whole of US 6 is in process.
We mention these pending projects only to alert your readers that our attention is focused on US 6. Road construction comes with its inherent delays, but UDOT is committed to meet the current and future needs of motorists on Utah's primary route between Green River and Spanish Fork.

super cute but not for the active child
"I love these shoes, they are super cute and the rhinestones look great. however, my daughter wore these today for the first time and they got filthy. the main material is a very soft, smooth material that dirties easily. so while i love and adore these shoes, i dont recommend them for the overly active, rough playing children.. (my daughter is 7 and plays more with boys than girls so she is all over the playground). I tried to clean them best I can but I'm slightly disappointed the dirt doesn't come off the pink part that well. And the material also scuffs easily, i see slight signs of scuffing on the toe. :/"

text: Recycling Legacy has an 8,500-square foot recycling center on the campus of Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center. There, mountains of recyclables of all kinds are consolidated, sorted, packaged and sent off to various vendors to be reused or remanufactured into new products such as containers, benches and decking. Mountains of material We recycle more than 2,000 tons of material a year, including: Child car safety seats and bike helmets Electronics (computers and peripherals, other electronics) Food waste Glass Kitchen oil Metals (steel, tin, lead, copper, aluminum and others) Paper and cardboard Plastics, including sterile blue plastic wrap and Styrofoam (block and peanut) Solvents Toner cartridges Yard debris/landscaping waste Material from Legacy and from our recycling partners is commingled inside our facility and sorted by workers from SCVP Inc., a nonprofit that employs alternatively abled workers. Many of these workers have been with Legacy for more than a decade. For the latest figures on Legacy's recycling, see our Recycling Scorecard. Here are the details on some of our innovative recycling efforts: Community partnerships Legacy is a recycling support location for many local businesses. In fact, we often collaborate with other community groups to investigate new recycling opportunities. In another form of recycling, our surplus office supplies are available free to employees, various non-governmental organizations and the public. Plastic blue wrap Visionary members of our operating room staff implemented a program to recycle the plastic blue wrap that is used to package sterile surgical instruments. Today, Legacy's efforts have helped to make a market for this commodity. The result — literally thousands of tons of blue wrap kept out of landfills. Toner cartridges All sizes and types of toner and ink-jet cartridges, whether from Legacy departments or employee homes, are recycled or, where possible, re-used. Car safety seats Legacy Health is able to recycle your used/outdated car safety seats and dispose of the materials in an environmentally correct manner. This free service is offered at any of our car safety seat check-up events; please download this PDF for additional drop-off locations and recycling directions. The Oregonian ran a column about Legacy's recycling of car safety seats. For further information, please contact Bill Clark at 503-413-6066 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Kingsford® $40K Challenge
The $40k Insider
Swine Assassins repeat at Iowa State BBQ Championship
Jul 18, 2011
The 2010 Iowa State BBQ Champion can rest easy for another year – Swine Assassins, the 2010 Grand Champion, successfully defended their title June 24-25 in Marshalltown, Iowa.
In addition to being named the Grand Champion two years in a row, Swine Assassins also took home first place in chicken and brisket and third in ribs. The 11-person team was also named the Kingsford Points Chase winner of the event.
The Swine Assassins consist of Scott and Katy Nelson, Kris and Brandi Paulson and their Seven Assassins in Training (Tyler, Valerie, Gavin, Hudsen, Ben, Lucas and Chloe).
Long time friends, the Nelsons and the Paulsons were looking for a productive way to spend their weekends and decided to take up competitive barbeque. The team spent a week brainstorming team names and ultimately decided on Swine Assassins. One thing they can't decide on is who to give credit for the name, but according to Scott it was a team effort.
In just three years on the BBQ trail, the Swine Assassins have amassed an impressive resume, including being named the Reserve Grand Champion at the 2010 American Royal World Series of Barbecue Open Contest.
The Seven Assassins in Training are also making their own mark on the BBQ world by participating in Kids Ques at events alongside their parents. And if their collection of trophies from the Iowa State BBQ Championship is any indication, these young pitmasters will soon be giving their parents a run for their money!
According to Scott, patience is the key to their success. The team has picked up valuable tips and lessons from fellow competitors and are always working to improve in the pork category, which, to date, has been their most difficult to master. Given their "overnight" success, however, it won't be long until their pork entries live up to their name.

Hilary Gordon was honored as the Business person of the Year at the annual Emery County Chamber of Commerce banquet. Tammy Oviatt, Hiliary's daughter presented the award. Oviatt said that Hilary is originally from London and is the third of four children. Hiliary always loved flowers and wanted a greenhouse. Oviatt said there was always some kind of a greenhouse rigged up in the backyard as she was growing up.
At age 14, Hilary went to work for Vidal Sasson as a shampoo girl. At age 19 the Mormon missionaries baptized Hilary. Hilary and her sister came to the USA to tour the country and they ran out of money in Salt Lake and went to work to earn money for the return trip. Hilary met Sandra Jensen, from Cleveland at a salon where she was working. Sandra arranged a blind date for Hilary with Brent Gordon from Huntington. They made an odd couple, the English girl and the Emery County cowboy, but they fell in love and were married and moved to Huntington. Hilary began doing hair with Roma Powell. She began having children, three sons and a daughter. Brent built a beauty shop onto the house for Hilary.
Hilary was always germinating plants in the backyard. What began as a hobby eventually led to three large green houses in the backyard and then when they outgrew the backyard, property was purchased north of Huntington for the new home of Gordon's Nursery and Floral. Oviatt described Hilary's obsession with flowers as a hobby gone bad.
Oviatt described her mother as being a risk taker and having a courageous spirit.
Hilary is very generous and donates flowers to the churches each Sunday, after church the flowers are given to the sick or to someone who needs a touch of cheer in the community.

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ConnieD High Quality Product This is the first time I have tried the Women's Support Pantyhose from Vermont Country Store. They provide the support I need especially in the ankle area where I sometimes have mild swelling. I put them in a net bag and wash them with other garments. They are a bit pricey, but it appears that they are going to last longer than other support pantyhose I have purchased. Overall, I feel that this is a quality product. February 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by scspoon Best feeling and looking pantyhose I'm on my feet 10 hours a day at work. These support hose help keep my legs looking and feeling great all day. April 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Olive Oil Big disappointment I have been wearng Jobst support hose. Recently I received a new order and to my disappointment, they very first time I wore a pair, they had a run in them. I don't know how it got there. I haven't tried the others in the same shipment yet, which is why I haven't notified anyone. I want to see how the other are. In the meantime, I'm wearing my older ones which are still holding up fine. December 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Country Mouse Nice stockings and they arrived very fast. My legs are swelling and my doctor recommended wearing support hose to prevent the swelling. Jobst stockings are the best I have ever used.. October 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Deedee Always reliable support stockings I usually order these from Vermont Store because they are shipped quickly, and I like the product because the company is always willing to take them back if they don't fit. And getting them by mail works well for any handicapped woman. August 26, 2013

Blowfish Wang Bootie
"Absolutely love them for fit and comfort. The first time you put them on though it takes a bit of work and a little stretching on the area where the ankle is. You have to really work your foot down into them but don't get discouraged and send them back because after you get them on the first time it is easier and they fit like a dream! Look great with jeans or dress slacks!"

Best shoes ever!
"Oh my gosh I don't think I've ever had a pair of shoes more comfortable! I'm a hair stylist and on my feet all day so I'm always on the hunt for shoes that I feel are fashionable yet don't kill my feet. These were like walking on air! I always bring a pair do back up shoes, especially when I'm wearing new shoes but I didn't need to change and at the end of the day no pain!"
