All(almost)-in-one media player
i have been looking for a new mp3 player for some time now.
i have one, but it is almost dead and only 512mb.
I want one with these features:
-able to play mp3
-fm radio
-voice recorder (kinda)
-camera (somthing good...like 1.5-2 megapixel)
-jpeg viewer
-kinda small....about the size of an ipod (not the nano) or smaller
-from 10 to 20GB of space
-no more than $250
I found a couple that do this...but they are kinda big / expensive
the first one isnt too expensive...but yeah
if anyone can link me to one..or at least give me a model name...i'd be really glad!

I own an iRiver H320, which can do all of that except take pictures. I dunno if you can find them anywhere, but if you can, I'd spring for it. Mine cost around $360, I believe, so it's a bit above your price, but it's a very nice player.

I have a Lyra A/V jukebox that can also do all that except take pictures....don't think you'll find something that'll do THAT.

Yes, to be that discriminating you are going to have to increase your price range by about 100$.

I think there are several new range mobile phones that will do what you're asking, I have a Nokia phone which takes memory cards and has a radio player and mp3 functions built in.
The other alternative is to look for a pocket camera that also has MP3 capability, these take flash cards and hence can have all the capacity you can afford. It's unlikely you'd get a camera or a phone with a hard disk built in, however.Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/

But this article reminded me what the real difference is. To people who see the world in math, they see things in terms of mathematical concepts. To people who... I dunno what the opposite would be, understanding poetry?... math is a mechanical set of tools of manipulation to get some particular answer. Fractions and decimals and percentages are different things entirely with complicated rules for converting between them, not different ways of representing the same thing that vary only by convenience. Algebra involves manipulating symbols according to particular sets of permitted actions, not logical deduction. Cross-multiplication is a magical trick to figure out which fraction is bigger, not a trivial consequence of multiplication. FOIL is a rule you have to memorize when you learn polynomials, not a meaninglessly particular application of the distributive property. Quadratic equations are impossible to solve unless you have the formula memorized, not something you can logically derive as needed, just like every other expression that doesn't happen to fit the quadratic mold.
And the product of this type of thinking is the endless discussion in the comments of the article above, which makes my brain hurt by its insanity/inanity much more than division ever did (and makes me giggle a lot.)
I'm so out of touch with the mechanical way of thinking about math that I completely forgot that I ever learned how to manipulate fractions into decimals and into percentages until I visited my 4th grade teacher in college when she was giving that lesson and it blew my mind to watch her break the concept into so many separate mechanical pieces (yes this and many other reasons add up to me being a very horrible teacher when the day comes that I can no longer avoid it...) Sure, part of it is just the curse of knowledge, and I can't remember what it as like not to know how to solve equations, but mostly it's the difference between seeing a logical flow and seeing miscellaneous puzzle pieces with memorizable, disconnected algorithms for assembly.
Anyway, I don't mean to make it a point of conceit, but frankly the point of this post is that for those of us who see the world in math (which in any case is about everyone who will ever read this...) the fact that the New York Times can run a piece elaborating a fourth grade arithmetic lesson that was trivial to begin with is hilarious, mind-boggling, etc. I laughed a lot and wanted to share =)
**Which was actually just my way of saying I was baffled by her occupation and incapable of making conversation about it, so please have mercy and enlighten me or change the subject. When it comes to art and literature and all that I'm as intellectually disabled as the Verizon call representative who insisted that .02 cents per minute was a meaningless, impossible quantity...

The Government will collapse in the next two years unless its priorities are reassessed, the Tanaiste has warned.
Eamon Gilmore backed Pat Rabbitte's admission that the Coalition will not make it to 2016 if it doesn't address the current drift.
The Labour leader said it was a statement of fact by his Communications Minister.
He added: "There is a need for a renewal of our purpose, everyone accepts and agrees we did a great job in taking the country out of the bailout, in turning around what was the worst recession in the history of this independent state to recovery and to seeing jobs being created.
"But that has to have a purpose, that is never an end in itself."
Mr Gilmore said the Government needs to get back to addressing the problems people are having.
Addressing the Arbour Hill commemoration, he said: "Recovery is not an end in itself.
"Rather, it is the new foundation on which to build a better, fairer Ireland. And when it comes to making choices about our future – about where the dividends from recovery go – the test must be, whether it improves the lives, and the opportunities, and the security of working people and their families.
"They are the new choices that are facing Government today – and they are facing us, as a party in Government."
Mr Gilmore said there would be no withdrawing of the Programme for Government but the two parties needed to discuss how to proceed.
Speaking to the Irish Daily Mirror last night, Mr Rabbitte said his comments, which first featured in a Sunday newspaper, were not based on the continued strained relations in the Coalition.
He added: "The whole point was not about Fine Gael and Labour.
"It was to highlight that the Government needs to get a grip."
Fine Gael minister Leo Varadkar also accepted it hadn't been a good few months for the Coalition. But he insisted he "wouldn't be getting the posters out of his shed anytime soon".

Cheating Death Inspiration
9 comments:
I love your notebook covers!ReplyDelete
I know you just released Waging War, which I loved, but for obvious reasons I need Cheating Death yesterday. LOL. Do you have a planned/estimated/wild-guessed-at timeline for release? Oh and I see that we agree on Tom Hiddleston for the win...ReplyDelete
Ohhhh! Of course Mr. Thomas Sharp (Tom Hiddleston) is so Archer. Ha! The knight for the "old" version of book covers for sure... If you are ever in need of beta readers or something... I VOLUNTEER! (Insert the struggling Katniss Everdeen... :)))ReplyDelete
I just finished reading "Marking Time" and came here to peek around a bit since I LOVED it. It honestly and truly makes me laugh seeing this, because Jesse Williams is included on your notebook cover. I know it totally doesn't fit your description, but that's EXACTLY who I picture when I read Archer. Literally him. (For the record, Kate Mara is my Saira, so I apparently just go with whatever I "see" instead of what you tell me they look like.) I'm assuming you have him included for some other reason, though. Also-- one can NEVER go wrong with Tom Hiddleston. Bravo.ReplyDelete

Well ... maybe not a cookbook, but I recommend Vegetarian Times (http://www.vegetariantimes.com). They have a mix of recipes from the simple pantry-based to the specialty store types.
Plus, you'll also find good info on green-living and environmental issues, etc. The annual sub is around $20, but I might still have an email for a $9.99 annual sub if you're interested. Email me if you'd like it.
I also like the Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon http://www.passionatevegetarian.com/. HUGE cookbook but no pictures. However, I like the educational side of things, plus variety between your quick-n-easy and more gourmet. Plus, it has the BEST chocolate cake recipe ... and it's vegan.

The two examples I tried are NES Classic DR Mario and NES Classic Zelda. They load past the Gameboy Screen and go to the startup screens of the games, but then none of the buttons work. And my DS is still just giving me a white screen if I start it with the EZFlash connected.

Zeerust - A man died after being bitten by dogs outside Zeerust during the early hours of Saturday morning.North West police spokesperson Constable Duduzile Zwane said a resident of Gopane Village had found the man naked with his ears bitten off and his face swollen, but still breathing.The resident had been woken up by the man's scream for help and dogs barking.Emergency services were called to the scene and later certified the man dead.The unidentified man was believed to have come from a nearby tavern known to have vicious dogs, said Zwane.An inquest was pending.
What a horrible way to die. RIP dude.
Perhaps John, you could pen your problem elsewhere. This has nothing to do with any type or colour of lighting. This is about a man losing his life through an attack by dogs. Am I confused, or are you insensitive?
Dog eat dog business??
What the heck was he doing naked? Im sure there is more to this story. This country is realy going to the dogs!
Shirley perhaps the dogs ripped his clothes off.
Really a very strange story. No indication of wounds which could have led to his death. The dogs probably tore off all his clothing.
What i wanna know is Who Let The Dogs Out ?
It's a dog's life
So little info? Can you complete the story, or are we meant to guess the details?
Tse dingwe dilo ke Tshimologo ya Lefatshe fela jong!
The dogs will rule!
Naked...did he give the dog a bone...?
All they considered edible were his clothes.
I have decided to leave this site permanently. Most of you are insensitive, unhappy people who have nothing better to do than insult and ridicule others. Inside you are probably nice people but what takes place here is not nice. It is so easy to to be nasty when nobody can see you. It's almost like a type of " Road Rage ".

Snookie to Perform Community Service By Signing Autographs
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — In what appears to be a complete mockery of the justice system, reality TV star Nicole "Snookie" Polizzi will complete her court-ordered community service by signing autographs for three hours.
Polizzi who was arrested in July after a drunken bender in Seaside Heights, New Jersey will be returning to the scene of the crime to fulfill her obligation to the community that she annoyed this past summer.
According to TMZ and her lawyer, Ray Raya, the "Jersey Shore" star will make an appearance at the Seaside Heights community center this weekend to sign autographs as part of a fund raising event to benefit an animal charity.
Raya told TMZ, "If people want an autograph, they will make a $10 contribution to Donations of Love. Nicole will also be making an additional contribution to the organization."
Polizzi reps said she will be participating in private community service activities but did not elaborate.
The punishment doesn't seem to be humbling and taxing, but Raya insists that "it can be quite painful to sign autographs for three hours."
However, this reporter wonders if picking up trash and scrubbing toilets at a rest stop would be a more appropriate punishment for a star of her caliber.

Daniella Rubinovitz was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Currently, Daniella maintains her studio at Atelier Molenpad, in the heart of Amsterdam. Here she produces art installations. Her sculptures and paintings vary between figurative and abstract. She enjoys playing with materials that are best suited to each environment of the installation. This ranges from wood, to metals to charcoal on raw linen and fragile thin paper.
Daniella is an artist with a vision that the world is alive through art. She believes in challenging materials and technique. She believes that inspiration come from raw beauty. She believes that being human is a journey to express and experience, and she believes in combining reality with the element of magic. She translates this in her work as combining the arts as a medium for expression. She exposes raw material in completed projects. She creates timeless pieces that connect to our mental, emotional and physical bodies. Her work primarily uplifts, inspires and gives a playful twist of pleasure.
Daniella graduated from Tufts University in affiliation with the School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. Afterwards she graduated from Pratt institute as an industrial designer to fulfill her desire to experience the world of mass production and construction. She graduated as a spiritual art therapist from Leiden, which she pursued after her obsession to master how color line and form are linked within our subconscious. Here she specialized in expressive techniques. Afterwards, Daniella dedicated her learning to intuitive and expressive painting.
Throughout Daniela's extensive travels from the rich soils of India to the steel construction of Beijing, Daniella has transformed her work and peeled away layers through hands-on discovery. Through this transition Daniella has played extensively with bronze, porcelain and glass prior to discovering the medium of painting as her beloved technique to combine all the elements together into her unique style of combining light into varying degrees of color line and form. During this time of discovery, her art pieces has since been installed in public and private collections in Amsterdam, Denmark, Italy, NYC, and Seattle.
Daniella plays on the stage between expressionism with elements of reality. It is this play that give such pleasure to Daniella as she creates new landscapes of being. The images carry a feeling of monumental landscape that could easily fit within an apple core, or take up the space of the XL billboards at times square. Daniella has been interviewed on Radio in US, Dubai, London and Germany and published in
My art installations and commissions fit each location in mind. To get started on a piece, send me an e-mail. Please mention the final placement of the piece, scale and timing. It is helpful to also send an image of your location. I will give you a price based on the complexity, materials and size of the piece. We always have several dialogues when we are working together, however to start, this is the information that I require. Together we can create just the right piece. Local magazines, include Time Out Amsterdam and Bell 'Europa.

Using a Concerta coupon can make it much easier for you to pay for medications that may be necessary to maintain the quality of life you want. There are several formulations for Concerta, including Concerta ER, Concerta CD, and other types. Each of these will have a different price since each has a different Concerta dosage.
Children may benefit from the extended release pills since they only have to take them once a day. However, these can be more expensive. This is why finding a Concerta coupon will be important.
Concerta Coupon Options from the Doctor
Don't be afraid to talk openly with your doctor about your financial situation. Most doctors understand that there are plenty of other bills to pay, and if they didn't think you needed a medication they wouldn't have prescribed it. As a result, if you tell your doctor that you are concerned about being able to pay for the prescription they are more apt to give you a coupon if they have it. Since Concerta is a controlled substance the drug rep can't leave free samples. Instead, the Concerta manufacturer will give coupons for free trials, discounts, and more for the doctors to hand out. It never hurts to ask your doctor if they have something like this available.
Going Online
It won't be as easy to find a Concerta coupon online as it is with other medications, but it can be done. Start by using a website that you've had success with in the past. This will help you weed through the sites that aren't legitimate. Search for a Concerta coupon and follow the directions to redeem it.

Facing the Facts About Shared Sacrifice
Organized labor has spent years trying to hold Wall Street accountable for the harm it did to this country. It wasn't until a month ago, however, that the seeds we planted grew into a grassroots uprising against economic injustice.
The Occupy Wall Street movement — which began as a small group of young protesters and has grown into a national cause — could become a strong political force. It has tapped into the raw nerves of many Americans who are fed up over the rich few taking advantage of the rest of us. The protesters' core issue — economic inequity — is what fueled the early days of labor organizing, and their efforts have awakened a broad new sense of social activism.
Wall Street is not the only target. New Yorkers are being told that the state's millionaire's tax must be allowed to expire — and the $4 billion in annual revenue it generates — while 66,000 state workers belonging to the Civil Service Employees Association are forced to lower their already moderate living standards in order to provide less than $73 million in savings.
The majority of Americans would not call this shared sacrifice.
Protests are forming all over the country — D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, etc. The participants come from many backgrounds and have many different ideas, but the message is clear: It's time for this country to be taken away from the wealthy special interests and given back to the people.
It is the responsibility of organized labor and public-sector workers, to develop and implement a practical course of action to achieve our goals: a vibrant middle class and dependable public services. In the protesters' words, it is about taking care of 99 percent of Americans and not just the top 1 percent.
Public employees are not even in the top 10 percent of income earners. We are members of the shrinking middle class. We provide the services that keep all communities safe and livable, whether they are rich or poor. We also understand that those services cost money, and that revenue must come from somewhere.
Too many of the very wealthy are not taxed enough. As billionaire investor Warren Buffet has said, he pays a lower percentage in taxes than his secretary. A little over 10 years ago, before President George W. Bush, the rich paid a higher rate. A decade before that, they paid higher still. Taxes for them are not going up, but down. To say that an increase now would be a great burden is both untruthful and unethical.
As the wealthiest amass ever greater fortunes, others are slipping out of the middle class. According to a recent report by the Pew Charitable Trusts, nearly one in three Americans who grew up middle-class has slipped down the income ladder as an adult.
The wages of middle-income Americans had been stagnant since the middle 1970s, but recent census data show that from 2000 to 2010, they actually regressed. The median income fell to $49,445 last year, down 7 percent over a ten-year period.
As the cost of living increases, so has income disparity. The people that are getting squeezed are not those at the very top or the very bottom, but those of us in the middle. Public-sector workers are one of the last strongholds for the middle class and we need to protect that way of life.
If we want a country where parents can hope for a better future for their children, where our communities are clean and safe, then it is imperative that we continue the millionaire's tax at the state level and let the federal Bush tax cuts expire. The revenue increase would be substantial, enough to save the jobs of many police, firefighters, teachers and other public employees. It is equally important that our leaders allocate precious tax money wisely, and that includes maintaining a strong civil service system. How many times must it be proven that privatization schemes cost more, deliver inferior services and open the door to corruption?
Our demands are not unreasonable — just the ability to take care of our families and retire with the dignity that all human beings deserve.
What would America be like if we had no middle class? How would our neighborhoods run if we did not have the people to police our schools and hospitals and keep our towns running? These basics in our life are at stake. We must continue to hold the 1 percent accountable for what they have done, but we should band together with the other 99 percent and make the shared sacrifices we need to protect our way of life. We need to occupy more than Wall Street; we need to create a brighter future.

In diagnosing and treating obstructive lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), doctors often use various tests to determine the severity of the disease. One of these is a test called a spirometry, in which various measurements of lung function can be calculated.

Measuring FEV1/FVC

One important measurement doctors use to monitor lung function is the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) over forced vital capacity (FVC), also known as the Tiffeneau-Pinelli index. This is a measurement of the amount of air exhaled forcefully in one second compared to the full amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in a complete breath.

The amount of air you exhale in one second is recorded as well at the total amount of air you are able to exhale. Based on the number of FVC calculated for your age and size, the ratio of these 2 values is then evaluated. Ordinarily, the two values are proportional. If the FVC is decreased, then the ratio is looked at more closely.

Decreased FVC with Proportional FEV1/FVC Ratio—Restrictive Pattern

If your FVC is decreased but the ratio of FEV1/FVC is normal, this indicates a restrictive pattern. Restrictive lung diseases may be those in which the lung tissue itself is damaged, or when structurally someone is unable to breathe as deeply as normal. Some examples include:

Pulmonary fibrosis, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a scarring of the lungs of uncertain cause.

Deformities of the chest such as scoliosis or chest wall scaring

Lung cancer surgery, such as a lobectomy or pneumonectomy

Infections and inflammatory diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, silicosis, and asbestosis

Neurological disorders such as ALS

Pleural effusion, which is fluid in the area between the linings which surround the lungs

Ascites, a fluid buildup in the abdomen due to liver disease or cancer in the abdomen can cause a restrictive pattern by limiting the ability to take a deep breath.

Decreased FVC with Decreased FEV1/FVC Ratio—Obstructive Pattern

If your FVC is decreased and your FEV1/FVC ratio is also decreased, this is consistent with an obstructive form of lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. Usually, this diagnosis is reached if the FEV1/FVC is less than or equal to 70 to 80 percent of adults, and 85 percent in children. Damage to the airways and/or constriction of the airways is indicative of conditions such as:

Asthma

Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchiectasis

Bronchiolitis

Next Steps

If a restrictive pattern is observed, doctors will usually recommend full pulmonary function tests to further characterize your lung disease. If an obstructive pattern is found, the next step is usually to recommend treatment with a bronchodilator, a medication which helps to reduce constriction of the airways and repeating the test.

If you are being treated for obstructive lung disease, your doctor will most likely monitor your progress using your FEV1/FVC ratio. If the ratio improves with a bronchodilator, that means that the obstruction is at least partially "reversible." This is seen with conditions such as asthma. If the ratio does not improve with a bronchodilator, it may be irreversible, such as in COPD.

Created and carved entirely from wood, the winning woodcarving/sculpture titled, "Brown Beauty" is a river snapshot that is recreated every early fall on certain Montana trout streams such as the Yellowstone and the Big Horn. As the water temperature warms throughout the summer and into fall, great "blooms" of moss grow and float downstream only to be caught on various snags in the river.
"As the male brown trout move closer in time to the frenzy of the spawn, his skin toughens, his head becomes elongated into a bullish form and his vibrant colors have the ability to surprise even the most experienced fisherman. This is absolutely, without a doubt, the most beautiful and respected trout in the river and I just love 'em." Clark Schreibeis
Schreibeis was born in Wyoming and raised in Montana. His passion for wildlife of all types is evident in his carvings with the species of the Rocky Mountain west (and Montana`s trout in particular) being his primary focus. He has had a life-long love affair with rivers and the myriad of species that make their home in and around their life-giving waters.

"Life is good when I`m piloting my canoe down a river and camping on its gravel bars." He explains, "while floating, camping and fishing on the river, I delight in being an active partaker and participant and not just an intrusive foreigner. God created all this beauty for us to enjoy and I take great pleasure in drawing people`s attention to His beauty with my art."
Clark and his wife Erika live outside of Billings, Montana and are blessed with three grown sons who are all married with children of their own and also a daughter who is in her 3rd year of nursing school at MSU. He owns and operates the Clark Schreibeis Wildlife Art Studio and currently divides his time between sculpting, carving, painting, writing, judging, teaching and seeking out wild places whenever he can.

It aired late at night. It was spooky. It was eerie. It was everything that we, as children, knew we shouldn't watch — but watched anyway.
Are You Afraid Of The Dark was the Canadian kids show that, even though we are still questioning its demographic, had a lot to love about out — hence why we watched it through our fingers knowing the nightmares to come.
The show followed groups of kids — The Midnight Society — narrating scary stories that we got to see play out on screen for us — with obviously every climactic point resulting in a cut back to the group before continuing on with the story.
Are You Afraid of The Dark is that show from our childhood that has a special place in our heart — no memories are fonder than those spent hiding under the covers watching a show you know your parents would not approve of you watching at the late hours of 10 p.m. What they don't know won't hurt them. However, looking back on the show, it's astounding to see how many Canadian actors got their start on the show (and some American ones too — but we digress).
Here are the Canadian actors you didn't know were on "Are You Afraid Of The Dark"
Emily Van Camp:
Emily's Revenge character Emily Thorne/ Amanda Clarke would definitely spook her AYAOTD character.
Ryan Gosling
Hey girl. Bet you didn't know this Canadian hunk graced AYAOTD
Vanessa Lengies
Vanessa's Glee character Sugar Motta would cringe — but we love that the actress got her start on Family Channel.
Jay Baruchel
AYAOTD, Popular Mechanics, we basically grew up with him on our screens.
Aaron Ashmore
This is what Jimmy was doing before he hit up Smallville.

The National Prep Championship provided an opportunity for the top eight rated prep schools in the nation to do battle in a tournament, single-elimination style, regardless of class. With this collection of teams playing against one another, the tournament allowed me the chance to see matchups between some of the top players in the country before they close out their prep careers. McDonald's All-American Alex Oriakhi locked horns with a talented collection of South Kent interior players led by Jackie Carmichae. Oriakhi's Tilton teammate and fellow Connecticut signee Jamal-Coombs matched wits on the perimeter with fellow ESPNU 100 player Kevin Parrom.
In the title game of the event, Oriakhi led his fifth-seeded Tilton squad against the second-ranked Hargrave Military Academy, led by another talented big man, Charlotte commit Chris Braswell with Tilton coming out on top in a very spirited contest. Coombs-McDaniel, through his inspired play, garnered MVP honors in this competitive event.
Standout Players
Jamal Coombs-McDaniel, SF (6-6)
Senior, Boston, Mass./The Tilton School
Coombs-McDaniel does an incredible job of leading his squad. He plays as the ultimate band-aid player, shoring up whatever needs his team may have during a game. If his squad needs a bucket, Coombs-McDaniel will collect the board, if they need to score, he will get the bucket and if they need a defensive stop, Coombs-McDaniel will guard positions four positions on the court. He also plays the one through four positions on the offensive end of the court as well. Coombs will often bring the ball up and initiate the offense for his team. He does a good job of breaking down his man off the dribble and using his strength and craftiness to get to the paint. Once at the rim, Coombs-McDaniel has the strength and body control to adjust in the air, take contact, and still finish at the rim. He sometimes adjusts too much in the air and makes the shot more difficult in his attempts to draw fouls on the opposition. He has range that extends out to the 3-point line, though he can be streaky at times from distance. He does a great job playing the role of the vocal leader and the quarterback on the floor for his team. Coombs-McDaniel also has a very high basketball I.Q. and plays a heady brand of basketball.
Gerard Coleman, SG (6-3)
Junior, West Roxbury, Mass./The Tilton School
Coleman, despite his lack of muscle and strength, will attack the rim fearlessly. He covers a great deal of ground when he gets to the rim and will attempt to finish above the rim in traffic, drawing a high number of fouls. With added strength, Coleman will finish off a number of the plays and earn old-fashioned 3-point play opportunities. As the year has gone on, Coleman has become more and more assertive on the offensive end. He has range that extends out to the 3-point line and will also get jumpers in the mid-range, but he does not get his shooting hand (left) under the ball enough on his jumper, which results in a number of his jumpers landing short and hitting the front of the rim. He also does a good job of using his length and lateral quickness to harass opposing ball-handlers on the defensive end as well as play passing lanes for steals, which result in fast breaks and chances for Coleman to finish off the break in highlight reel style. With added strength, Coleman will become even better on the defensive end. As he improves his ball-handling skills, Coleman could become an even more devastating offensive player.
Malik Stith, PG (5-10)
Post-Grad, Long Island City, N.Y./Bridgton Academy
Stith calmly leads his teams and has a very stoic, poker face, never allowing the opposition to rattle or bother him. He does a great job of driving the basketball, especially when he penetrates to his right. At the rim, Stith also has enough strength and body control to adjust in the air and take contact, while still finishing the basket, despite his small stature. Beneath his expressionless face, lurks the heart of a lion with the intestinal fortitude to take big shots and handle the ball in crucial situations for his squad. Stith will also connect on daggers from beyond the 3-point line off the dribble, which will provide confidence and momentum for his team while killing the spirit of the opposition. He also does an adequate job of moving his feet on the defensive end, keeping opponents out of the lane, but taller point guards sometimes use their height advantage to shoot over Stith. He has good vision and does a great job of creating scoring chances for his teammates.
Thomas Robinson, PF (6-8)
Senior, Washington, D.C./Brewster Academy
Robinson snares boards in and out of his area with remarkable ease, using his length, good leaping ability, and sheer effort to out-work opposing big men. In fact, Robinson collects caroms better than anyone in the class. He may also play harder than anyone in the Class of 2009. He runs the floor well and will finish off the break in transition and run for timely blocks on unsuspecting opposing players that believe that they have an open lay-up. When he scores off the offensive boards, he uses his quick leaping ability and strength to power up for finishes above the rim in traffic. Robinson also has enough quickness and ball-handling skills to handle the ball in transition and drive to the basket for dunks. Though he can face the bucket and hit jumpers, he needs to improve his touch from the perimeter. Robinson also must improve his accuracy from the free-throw line, especially given the amount of contact that he draws due to his physical style of play.
Alex Oriakhi, PF (6-8)
Senior, Lowell, Mass./The Tilton School
Oriakhi, when engaged and committed, can utterly dominate a game on both ends of the court, using his size, strength, athleticism, and emotion to over-power opposing big men. He has problems at times when he does not face a formidable enough challenge from the opposition and his play and effort tend to fluctuate according to who he plays against. He has decent footwork in the post, but he has to alleviate his tendency to travel when he makes post moves at times. Oriakhi has shown a nice set of counter-moves that he should use more often when interior defenders take away his initial post move. He uses his left-hand very well in the post, especially when he scores with a little lefty (off-hand) jump hook with his back to the basket. He does a great job of collecting offensive rebounds and going up in traffic to finish above the rim, making effective use of the reverse-dunk rather often. He can also step away and hit jumpers in the 10-15 feet range, but he has a tendency to drop his hands and not finish his follow-through when he shoots turn-around jumpers. Oriakhi also draws a high number of fouls on the opposition; therefore he needs to improve his free-throw shooting by raising his release point. He needs to keep his effort and focus on the defensive end high, as he tends to only rebound the ball on the defensive end and contest shots sometimes, even though he has the ability to accomplish this task on a more consistent basis.
Surprise Players
Naadir Tharpe, PF (6-8)
Sophomore, Worcester, Mass./Brewster Academy
Tharpe does not rank as a knockdown perimeter shooter, but he has the courage to hit big shots from the perimeter, especially from 3-point range. When he keeps his release point high and does not kick out his right leg too much, Tharpe has a relatively good amount of accuracy. He also has good quickness and effectively utilizes a change of pace dribble to keep opposing defenders off-balance and get himself into the paint. He has a tendency to overpenetrate at times and get into trouble. Adding more strength and a floater to his offensive game will help him immensely. Adding more strength will also help him on the defensive end, as he tends to struggle somewhat when attacked off the dribble by penetrating guards. Tharpe has very good vision and passing skills, easily finding open teammates for easy shots. He does a great job of sneaking balls into cracks for teammates and they sometimes seem surprised by Tharpe's deft passing ability.
Preye Preboye, SF (6-5)
Senior, Springfield, Mass./Winchendon School
Preboye leads his team through effort and seems to have the emotional pulse of his team. This tough competitor does not back down from anyone, teammate or foe, and will get in the face of his teammates when they do not exert maximum effort. He has very good quickness and gets his team extra scoring chances by playing passing lanes and getting steals for his team. Preboye also plays very good position defense on the wing, using his lateral strength and quickness to keep wing players out of the paint. This lefty has range that extends out to the 3-point line, but he does not rank as a great shooter at this point of his career. Given his leaping ability, he also needs to add a mid-range pull-up jumper to his arsenal. His quick first step allows him to get to the paint and improving his ball-handling skills will benefit Preboye considerably. He does a number of positive things for his team that do not show up in box scores.
Sean Kilpatrick
Post-Grad, White Plains, N.Y./Notre Dame Prep
Kilpatrick has improve immensely off the dribble and does a much better job of scoring off the dribble, utilizing a mid-range pull-up jumper, though he needs to continue to work on this area of his offensive game. He has good strength and can also use this gift to free himself on the perimeter. He has a tendency to try to force the issue on the offensive end and times, which sometimes results in turnovers, but one cannot fault his aggressive nature on the offensive end. Kilpatrick has decent passing skills and vision, though he sometimes tries to force the ball into tight spaces. Kilpatrick also has range that extends out to the 3-point line and his very quick release can catch opponents off guard. He plays decent defense on the perimeter and he also does a good job of anticipating in passing lanes for steals. Kilpatrick gives maximum effort when on the court and rarely takes plays off.
Luke Hancock, SF (6-4)
Post-Grad, Roanoke, Va./Hargrave Military Academy
Hancock has range that extends out to the 3-point line and if the opposition does not account for him or a defenders does not close out with his hands up to deter Hancock from shooting or run him off the 3-point line, Hancock will stick the jumper from distance with great regularity. He will also take the ball to the hoop and finish, though he prefers to go right almost exclusively. Hancock needs to work on his ball-handling skills as well as his lateral quickness with the ball in his hands. He also has good leaping ability, which allows him to finish some plays above the rim and given his decent athleticism, he should have a more refined game off the dribble. Hancock will also benefit from improving his middle game by adding a pull-up jumper to his offensive arsenal.
Ledrick Eackles, SG (6-3)
Post-Grad, Zachary, La./Hargrave Military Academy
Eackles places an immense amount of pressure on opposing wing defenders through his very aggressive approach on the offensive end of the floor. Though as a tad undersized for the shooting guard slot, Eackles compensates for any lack of height through his extraordinary leaping ability and quickness. He has a lightning quick first step which makes it very difficult for opponents to keep him out of the paint. However, he sometimes makes his quickness advantage non-existent by playing too quickly, instead of using a change of speeds to keep defenders off –balance. Changing pace will also help Eackles in improving his decision-making. Eackles does have range on his jumper that extends out to the 3-point line, though he does not rank as a great shooter at this point. With his leaping ability, he would benefit from adding the mid-range pull-up to his offensive arsenal. He attacks the boards on the offensive end with great intensity and will finish off a number of plays above the rim, even on the break as well. He does a good job of playing passing lanes and collecting steals on the defensive end as well as keeping defenders in front of him. Eackles has a good mount of energy and rarely takes play off.
• Tilton head coach Marcus O' Neil does a very good job of coaching his squad. He has effectively mixes his star players with his role players and manages to get significant contributions from his bench players.
• Post-Grad 6-5 SF Jake Barnett (Wauwatosa, Wis./Notre Dame Prep) plays with a high level of energy and passion on both ends of the court and rarely takes plays off.
Barnett has a very efficient stroke from the perimeter with very little wasted motion or energy. His practically flawless shooting mechanics and high release give him the ability to connect from beyond 3-point range.
• Senior combo-guard Eric Gordon (Indianapolis, Ind./Hargrave Military Academy) can score off the dribble with relative ease, either using the mid-range pull-up or going all the way to the basket. As long as he gets to drive to his left, this righty can score with the best of them.
• Post-grad shooting-guard Freddie Riley (Ocala, Fla./Hargrave Military Academy) has the ability to connect on contested jumpers from well beyond 3-point range. As long he continues to improve his shot selection, Riley will become a difficult guard to defend on the perimeter on the next level.
• Post-grad Reggie Moore, a 6-1 PG (Post-Grad, Everett, Wash./Brewster Academy), has very explosive scoring ability. He can create his own shot off the dribble effortlessly, though he needs to cut down on his tendency to over-dribble and hunt down shots at times.
• Alex Kershaw, a 6-2 junior SG (Easton, Mass./The Tilton School) plays with an extraordinary amount of toughness. He takes pride in doing the dirty work for his squad and allowing for the stars to fulfill their roles as stars and not have to concern themselves with the grind as much.

Choosing the right carpet colors for your home is a big decision, one you will be living with for years. Because carpeting is one of the more costly expenses in decorating your home, you'll want to choose a rug color that works with your current or planned color scheme. Trends do change, even in the popular colors for floor coverings, but they run 1-2 years behind those of the rest of the fashion industry. This means that the most popular shades in the ladies' clothing department will be showing up on floors in a couple of years.
What are considered outdated, at the moment, are the cool gold and green shades. Silvers, mauves and grays are also less favored. The current trends are towards the much warmer colors. Golds and greens are still around, but they have been warmed up considerably. Earthy, environmental colors have become increasingly popular as well. Light blues, neutral stone hues, rosy quartz, khaki and suede shades are also very much in demand. Beige, the traditional stand-by, is considered too dull and too safe by many designers. However, no other color has as much utilitarian value and flexibility as beige, so it will continue to be a popular choice, regardless of changing color trends.
When choosing the right carpet color for your room, there are several factors to consider. Fortunately, rugs come in almost as many colors as price ranges today. It is no longer difficult to find the color you want at a price you can afford. Always remember that your carpet choice will become the foundation of your fashion decor for each room you design.
The following tips may help you choose the right carpet for the rooms in your home:

A four-part harmony treat
Bullhook Bottoms barbershoppers to hold concert
November 4, 2013
Kay Blatter remembers that almost 70 years ago he and his brother would sing two-part harmony songs when they were doing their chores on their family's ranch outside of Chinook.
It was the beginning of a lifelong interest in music.
Today, he's in his 23rd year of being a member of the Bullhook Bottoms Barbershop Chorus, and he and fellow members are practicing four-part harmony for the "A Cappella Highway" concert that will be 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23, at Havre's Fifth Avenue Christian Church.
For barbershop music fans, this concert will be a special treat, he said.
The Bullhook Bottoms members, all from the Hi-Line, will be joined by barbershoppers from Helena and Great Falls for a full-fledged concert.
"People always tell us they enjoy our music," he said. "But I think this one will be special. You can't find a better musical treat,"
The church holds 550 people, he said, and the barbershoppers are hoping for a sell-out crowd.
Traditionally, he said, the chorus puts on two concerts, one in Havre and a second in Chinook. But he said they can't ask the Helena and Great Falls signers to come back to Havre for a second concert. So they are planning one big concert.
The chorus has several subgroups, he said. This year, for the first time in a long time, he's hoping to have an all-Chinook quartet.
A Chinook High School teacher and a high school student have joined the chorus, he said, encouraging members that younger people are interested in barbershop music and carrying on the tradition.
They are selling 10 tickets to businesses for $70, he said. The businesses can use the tickets themselves or give them to favored customers or employees.
There is a special deal, he said.
"You can get a ticket for $7 or two tickets for $15," he said, laughing. "I don't have to spend a lot of time making change."
"It's a deal for us," he said, and many people have taken him up on the offer.

Charities in the Hamilton region are coming up short this year as people make fewer gift and cash donations than usual.
Earlier this month, CBC Hamilton reported on Children of Christmas Past, a charity that collects and distributes donated gifts for needy seniors in Hamilton and the GTA.
Founder Jill Harrington says there are still about 400 unclaimed tags – each one representing a gift requested by a senior – of the original 3,500 put on trees in businesses throughout the region. People pick out a tag, buy the gifts, and drop them on Harrington's doorstep. Then a volunteer delivers them to senior's care facilities on Christmas Day.
"I almost had a panic attack," she said, describing her reaction when she saw a tree nearly full of tags at Pet Paradise in Burlington.
Harrington says there are still several trees in the region that are nearly full of tags, including ones at the Arbour Creek Long-Term Care Centre in Hamilton, as well as Fresh Co. and the Cedar Springs Racquet club in Burlington. The location of the charity's trees are listed on Childrenofchristmaspast.com.
The requests are not for luxury items, they're from local seniors looking for basic necessities such as soft tissues, a warm jacket, some fruit or diabetic socks. Harrington has never had to say no to a gift request, but she's worried this year might be the first.
She doesn't fault people for not getting gifts, saying that she knows people in the local community are generous. Harrington says she thinks part of the problem is that the economy is still rough, and many people may be holding off donating gifts as a result.
"Hamilton-Wentworth is known to be a giving community, and so is Burlington," she says. "I have so much faith in our community."
Much like Harrington, the local Salvation Army has also yet to hit its target for donations in the annual Red Kettle campaign.
The local campaign – which covers Hamilton, Burlington and Dundas – is still $190,000 short of its $650,000 target, says Salvation Army spokesperson Gary Brown.
He says while the local Salvation Army is concerned about being well short of its target, it is hoping that donations follow the traditional pattern of an upward spike as the holidays begin.
"The giving builds the closer you get to Christmas," he says.
While campaigns like the Red Kettle benefit from being well known and easy to access, he says he understands how smaller campaigns that are less visible could struggle to get donations.
Jill Harrington says she hopes the personal nature of her organization's seniors-oriented charity will persuade people to make last-minute donations to Children of Christmas Past.
"I think people need to remember this is the one charity where the actually get to pick a person and get them a gift they actually ask for."

Defining Issues in International Environmental Law
Alexander Gillespie
Chapter 12: Compliance
Alexander Gillespie
1 THE HISTORY OF NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE IWC The IWC has a long history of non-compliance with the rules and goals of the organization. Those who have sought to depart from the IWC may be divided into three groups. The first are those who have appeared under flags of convenience ('pirate whalers'). These were a distinct problem throughout the 1950s1 and 1970s.2 The second group involves signatories who have blatantly disregarded the conservation dictates of the organizations, such as the former Soviet Union who were involved in a 'considerable falsification of records' in the 1950s.3 The third and final group consists of individual countries and (former) competing regional organizations (as discussed in Chapter 11) operating outside of the IWC's auspice. These countries (see pages 325–6, Chapter 11) have all, historically, made the issue of compliance with IWC rules very difficult as they have operated outside the regime causing consternation to both CITES4 and the IWC.5 Specific working groups were being created (in 1976 and 1980) to examine this problem as whaling by non-members was believed to represent over 13 per cent of the world catch and 25 per cent of Japan's whalemeat imports. Although the IWC has a long record of dealing with such non-compliance, the problem is not only historical. Current attempts to conclude an RMS and possibly end the moratorium on commercial whaling, necessitate the conclusion of a new I&O regime. As such, the IWC is renewing its compliance measures. This has been increasingly difficult, as...

We offer turn-key platforms and ongoing support groups for young. These platforms are for schools and service programs, independent mentors, and directly from practical academics mentors. These are living programs, designed for continous improvement. We are 'seeding' the program with content, structure, and process. Through the mentor community, student and mentors learnings and ideas will be captured and the program improved. These programs are constructed to be locally controlled and customizable to meet the specific needs of the student populations and organizational cultures.
Our platform design philosophy is based on three foundations:

Amongst the many everyday stories of hardship and survival, Dan Biddle's account of surviving the events of 7/7 is a story that sets him apart from others. Stood just 2 feet away from the suicide bomber on the Paddington bound tube train, Dan Biddle recalls the pulling of the detonator cord and the immediate aftermath of the explosion that was to kill 6 people and seriously wound many more on that fateful day.
Dan Biddle's account is one of the coincidences leading to him being in the wrong place on that day, the horrors of witnessing others die around him, and the 3 cardiac arrests, and 70 operations that he endured as a result of being the most injured survivor from the London wide bombings. Channel 5 subsequently ran a programme about Dan Biddle on 'The man who should be dead' as part of its 'Extraordinary People' series.
For corporate audiences Dan Biddle's tale of resilience and ongoing personal battles is an extraordinary account of personal determination and refocus, which has allowed him to manage a serious case of post traumatic stress disorder, and to deal with his 'survivor guilt'.
Dan Biddle's session identifies the steps necessary to overcome the odds, to reset personal focus and goals, and how he has become a successful and award winning business owner and advisor to others. He challenges others to push themselves beyond their comfort boundaries, and to overcome personal barriers in an honest, forthright but highly engaging style.
Dan Biddle may no longer be able to get out of his wheelchair due to the loss of his legs on that unforgettable that day, but he will have your audience on their feet in admiration and respect for his story, his achievement and his inspiration.
In 2005 at the age of 26 Dan Biddle was caught up in horrifying events of the 7th July terrorist attacks in London. Dan Biddle suffered horrendous injuries such as the loss of both legs, losing one eye, having his spleen removed, liver and kidney damage as well as suffering 3 cardiac arrests which resulted in Dan Biddle technically dying 3 times, spending 8 weeks in a coma and 12 weeks in intensive care. All part of a recovery programme that meant he spent the first year of recovery in hospital. These are just a few of the injuries that made Dan Biddle the worst injured (as stated by the Metropolitan Police and City London Police) survivor of that terrible day. Dan Biddle is now confined to a wheelchair as his injuries are such that walking on prosthetic legs is not an option.
Dan Biddle's story however is as much about the set of coincidences that led to his being stood in the wrong place, 2 feet away from a suicide bomber on 7/7, and of his ongoing journey of rehabilitation and re-setting of his life boundaries in the years after the event. Beyond his medical recovery, Dan Biddle talks of the power of love and belief, not bad for a man who was the subject of a 2007 Channel 5 Extraordinary People documentary (as part of the Extraordinary People series) titled "The Man who should be dead".
Dan Biddle has battled back against all odds to rebuild his life and campaign for greater equality within society for disabled people, he is an advocate for Gwent police and their disability hate crime agenda, as well as the CEO of Nationwide Access Consultants Ltd. Within this role Dan Biddle has won many awards including the Chartered Institute of Buildings "Paul Andre Outstanding Achievement Award" South Essex homes "Diversity Champion" and DMUK (Disability Motoring UK) "Special Achievement Award 2015".
Dan Biddle's working life has been in the construction industry as a project manager and surveyor and he now works with large multinational companies to improve their levels of access for disabled by a process of surveying, design and project management.
Dan Biddle has spoken widely on the issues of disability and the process of facing adversity in the most difficult of circumstances, embracing change and empowering people to push themselves beyond the confines of their own boundaries. He is specializing in the subject of resilience, using his personal experiences to demonstrate how even the most difficult set of challenges can be overcome.
Dan Biddle has experience of speaking in front of intimate audiences, right up to 10,000 people at the Manchester Conference Centre. Dan Biddle has been on a journey battling through physical trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to reach where is he is now, but this does not mean that Dan Biddle is at the end of his journey, and it is this journey that Dan wants to share with you.
Dan Biddle is personable and has the ability to interact with a range of people, giving an honest account of his experience and the trials he has faced. His style is straightforward and honest, reflecting his East London roots, and his outlook is positive and enabling.
Dan Biddle is a speaker not to be missed. His story is compelling.

Dan Biddle Inspirational and Motivational Speaker
"Dan Biddle's speech was inspirational, and the content made you put your own life into perspective. He made you realise that whatever challenges you face in life, they are always surmountable. The realisation emerged that you should never be scared of failure, and instead should see it as a way to move forward."
Sian Waite New Hall School July 2016
"Dan Biddle's account of his 7/7 life changing experience was both moving and inspiring. It clearly highlighted how, with immense determination, one can flourish even when the odds are stacked massively against you."
Lucy Cracknell
"Dan Biddle's speech was truly inspiring and delivered with such emotion."
Jasper Zambelis
"Truly inspirational from start to finish. Dan Biddle's speech was quite simply breath-taking, with the room being visibly moved by his recount of the events which changed his life permanently. Despite the sombre topic, Dan still managed to make the talk funny. A man whom it is an honour to listen to - a very moving speaker."
Sebastian Copp
In 2015, I was asked to put together a Conference to mark the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings, with a focus on good practice, lessons learnt and most importantly, the victims and survivors. The first person I wanted to secure to address the conference given my experience in the aftermath of that event, was Dan Biddle
I tracked Dan Biddle down through various internet sources and put the proposal to him. I was immediately impressed with his sparky energetic response and willingness to get involved. It was clear that his story was a big one, and something that the delegates across a broad range of security management and investigative disciplines would benefit greatly from hearing.
Over the course of a few months, we managed the arrangements for Dan Biddle's speaking appearance, including the logistical issues of him getting into central London, his parking needs and all the other issues of access affecting somebody with the requirement of a wheelchair. I was also acutely aware of the emotional impact this day would have, and that he would first be attending a vigil at the Edgware Road site.
Dan Biddle's account and delivery at the conference was show stopping. He spoke eloquently and with pace, recounting what could only be described as revisiting hell. You could have heard a pin drop with the atmosphere in the New Scotland Yard briefing room. Following his account there was an ovation the likes of which I have rarely ever seen. It is still being talked about across the Institute and has provided security practitioners with an inside perspective that many of them never expected and something to take back to their operational environments to support their workplace.
Dan Biddle is a man of courage and will illuminate and inspire any group he speaks to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dan Biddle's speaking abilities and integrity, and I consider him a friend who has provided me with a grounded perspective whenever I face problems in my own life. Together with his lovely wife Gem, I sincerely wish him the best in his future endeavours where I have no doubt he will excel.

Describe three ways the quote "A person evolves, thus survives, or does not evolve and thus dies" applies to Piggy in The Lord of the Flies.
- print Print
- list Cite
To evolve means to change or adapt according to the circumstances.
A first way this quote applies to Piggy is that for the duration of his life on the island, he does find ways to adapt. He had been used to the modern conveniences of the society in which he lived, but he learned to do things differently on the island. No longer did he live with his aunt who owned a candy store. He had to eat native food from the island. He had to learn to live without an inhaler for his asthma and eventually one of the lenses from his glasses. Finally, he had to learn to live without his glasses completely, but this is where we see other applications of the quote.
A second way this quote applies to Piggy is through the skills necessary on an island like this one. Piggy was an intelligent boy with a weak stature. In modern society, he could have been respected for his mind, but here, he needed to have physical strength. Because he failed to have that, he lost respect from the other boys that eventually led to his death. Because he did not evolve from intelligence to strength, he did indeed die.
A final way this quote applies has to do with social norms. Piggy refused to jump on the bandwagon when all the other boys began gravitating towards Jack's tribe. After having been the butt of many jokes before, this further separated him from the boys making his value even less. Killing him was a simple task for them because they could have cared less about him.
I am a teacher in Virginia. I recognize the student's post as a prompt choice from the English Honors 10 summer reading sheet from the school where I teach. If I find in my stack of essays one that includes plaguiarism from the expert, missy575, the student will receive a referral and a zero on the assignment.
This site is a detriment to students' growth as it spoon-feeds them ideas they need to be generating themselves.

Clients who rented Alisso in the past have particularly appreciated the beauty and quiet of the estate. The house has been immaculately restored and furnished, and is especially bright and full of light. Its structure makes it ideal for two families who wish to take a holiday together, while maintaining their own privacy.

In front of the house there is a lovely large covered patio furnished as an outside sitting area, with table and chairs, which is ideal for eating outside.

Ein Traum. Wir kommen wieder :-)
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] A dream. We will be back :-)
Villa Alisso is very nicely located in Montebello. The house itself is very spacious and ideal for a big family or multiple couples the rooms with individual bathrooms are very well seperated providing very good privacy in case of multiple couples. The house and the surroundings are very peacefull and quiet. Swimming pool is nice and big and the garden provides plenty of space for children to play. Some of the lesser aspects of the house are the kitchen which has not a great lay out in case you want to cook at home and and also the kitchenware is very minimal.f.e no coffeemachine, limited number of glasses,... it all is a little worn out. Although the cleaning lady is coming 3 times a week, one might question why because the place was not really clean when we found it. No change of towels and bedsheets. The beds are of a poor quality and a little shaky. The humidity level in the house is also very high, causing the towels not to dry properly. Lighting outside is poor preventing in the evening eating outside. But overall we had a very nice vacation and the location is really beautiful.
Villa Alisso is a very nice and quiet place for a holiday with friends. Everything was ok, we only complain that not enough dishes were available (we only had 2 wineglasses for 11 adults) and there was no shower next to the pool. We spent a week at Villa Alisso and we had a pleasant stay, except for the mosquitoes ... :)
Alliso is a beautiful villa-large bright rooms delightfully furnished with lots of attention to detail.The situation of the villa is peaceful with no worries regarding the noise levels created by energetic children.It is however close to a very charming Italian town of Camaiore. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

From Deuteronomy 32-34
Can jealousy be a good thing?
This post is part of my bible in a year series.
Passage and Comments
Today's passage consists of excerpts of a song. At the end of Deuteronomy Moses 'sings' and tells the story of Israel to this point and for tells their future. It reminds me of the book, 'The Lord of the Rings' by JR Tolkien. The various races sings their own songs throughout the book. Let's see what Moses sings.
1 "Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak,
and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and like showers upon the herb.
For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe greatness to our God!
"The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
just and upright is he. (Dt 32.1-4)
Moses begins proclaiming the name of the LORD. The last line especially stands out describing the LORD's character. Faithful, without iniquity, just and upright. Moses moves on to describe Israel.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children because they are blemished;
they are a crooked and twisted generation.
Do you thus repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he your father, who created you,
who made you and established you?
Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you. (Dt 32.5-7)
I can't image the original audience liked hearing this. It is certainly a turn for the worse. He continues with this train of thought.
15 "But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked;
you grew fat, stout, and sleek;
then he forsook God who made him
and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.
They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
They sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to new gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,
and you forgot the God who gave you birth. (Dt 32.15-18)
The sacrifice to demons is an allusion to their bowing down to the golden calf at Horeb. I found the next bit interesting because it is picked up by Paul in the New Testament.
19 "The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, 'I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 They have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger with their idols.
So I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Dt 32.19-22)
Story of Israel
The part I have put in italics does not eventuate before Jesus comes. Israel sadly continues in idolatry and sin. God is provoked and sends them into exile. During this time many prophets who proclaimed judgment also prophesied a future restoration.
Story of Jesus
Jesus comes and fulfills many of the Old Testament prophecies. But not all Israel recognize him for who he is. They still continue to provoke the LORD by turning to other gods. When Israel does this they make the LORD jealous, because they are his people, bound by the LORD's calling of them.
I found the following interesting because it is picked up by Paul in the New Testament. As a result of the Jewish rejection of Jesus as their Christ, God has welcomed Gentiles into the kingdom of God.
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? (Rom 11.11-15)
My take on the train of Paul's thought works like this;
- Many Jews reject Jesus as their Christ provoking God's jealousy
- They are cut off and through their trespass Gentiles are included in Israel
- The Gentile inclusion in turn provokes jealousy of the Jews
- The jealous Jews want to be part of this so they turn to God
- The acceptance of these Jews into Israel will be the penultimate event for Christ's return and the general resurrection

what is the summary and analysis of the poem?
- print Print
- list Cite
From your question, I'm hazarding a guess that either you forgot to attach your poem or you're asking for a general poetry analysis structure. I'll go with the latter, then.
When you have a literature poem you have to analyse, first look at the question they're asking you. What are you trying to prove?
Is it about feelings? Thoughts and emotions? What strikes you as memorable/ significant? Recognising all of these different questions will help you construct good answers for your essays. You identify the poet's use of these techniques to bring out a message or prove something as stated in the question.
- technique list: WORDS AND IMAGES
- Imagery
- Metaphors
- Similes
- Personification
- Choice of Words-one word at a time, give 2 examples
- Diction-Choice of Words, Phrases, Vivid Descriptions
- Emotive Words-can be a phrase, e.g. Bitter/ distraught
- Verbs-make it vivid /real /come alive.Show [what] about [who]
- Irony, Sarcasm
- Puns
- Punctuation
- Juxtaposition, Contrast
- Pace
- Dialogue
- Situation-Uncertain, mysterious/ dangerous, risky/ confusing
- Setting-contributes to mood and thus overall tone of poem
- actions and behaviour
[Remember, this isn't an exhaustive list. There are a lot more techniques that you can find and manipulate to suit your argument.]
Say you have a question that goes
'how does the poet make you feel pity for the girl in the poem?'
Your first step is to identify the Big Picture- what exactly makes you feel pity. Maybe the poet has described her appalling circumstances [setting, imagery]. Maybe she has used certain verbs to convey some tone. Maybe she has shown some of the feelings that the girl is facing. Maybe she has told you about an abusive relationship.
After you have identified this, set about to further identifying the techniques employed to make you feel this way.
These form your topic sentences.
What you should use here is a PEEL format.
- P - point, or topic sentence. sum up the argument of your entire paragraph here.
- E - evidence. Pick out a line from the passage that is suited for your point.
- E - elaboration or explanation. As mentioned above, rationalise your argument with the example here.
- L- link. This part is really important. It shows the marker how you have answered the question, which is what they're really looking out for.
as per the example;
- The poet could have used powerful imagery to paint a vivid picture of the girl's desolation in your mind.
- This would make you feel pity for her plight.
- Explain the imagery. Take a line from the source and show how the imagery is conveyed and what it reminds you of. Then explain how it conveys that the girl is desolate.
- Finally wrap up with how this sense of desolation is conveyed to you, that you understand it and sympathise, and therefore feel pity for the girl.
Stick true to the PEEL format and techniques during answering. It should help you analyse your poems.
