What to Eat with Wheat Beer
Beer and food are better together.
Editor's Note: Food is even better with beer, and beer's even better with food. But what will taste particularly delicious with each beer style? We asked Certified Cicerone Michael Agnew to help us sort it all out.
The official start of summer is still a month away, but in many places summery weather has already arrived. Even up here in the frozen north where I live, shorts weather is here. It's time to break out the wheat beers.
Wheat beers tend to be a love-'em-or-leave-'em proposition. People either like them or they don't. For some it's the sharp taste of the wheat that turns them either on or off. For others it's the banana and clove flavors of the yeast used in German varieties. But it's these very peculiar properties of wheat beers that make them fantastically food friendly and perfect for lighter summer fare.
Summery wheat beers come in three main types: American, Belgian witbier, and the cloudy German varieties hefeweizen and dunkelweizen. They're each a little different, and each one has its own particular strengths when pairing with food.
American Wheat Beer
What's New On Serious Eats
American wheat beers are perhaps the blandest of the bunch and also the least defined stylistically. They can be cloudy or brilliantly clear. Sometimes they are loaded with fruit flavors and sometimes there are none. On the beer flavor scale, many fall somewhere in the vicinity of American blond ale or cream ale with a bit of bready wheat sweetness and citrusy American hops.
American wheat beers are delicious to drink with fresh summer salads. They take well to the flavors of leafy greens, cucumbers, and bean sprouts. They can handle vinaigrette or creamy dressings. The addition of some boiled egg or sliced turkey and ham won't detract a bit from the pairing. Goose Island's 312 Urban Wheat is a great choice with a hearty chef's salad, but go light on the stronger tasting cheeses. Stick with something more delicate like chevre or fresh mozzarella. If you want a beer with a bit more bite, pick up a bottle of Three Floyds Gumballhead. This hopped-up American wheat will chew through heavier cheddar.
Lighter fish are also a good match for American wheat beers. They are evenly matched in flavor and weight, and a squeeze of lemon will really set these beers off. Try a poached sole or halibut filet with Anchor Summer Ale. For a real treat add a citrus salsa and pair to Bell's Oberon. The salsa will tie into the orange flavors in the beer.
Belgian Witbier
Belgian witbiers are the next step up the intensity scale for wheat beer flavor. Still super light, banana flavors from the Belgian yeast and the subtle use of coriander and bitter orange peel give these beers depth and complexity. They are refreshingly fruity with background hints of flowers and spice.
Witbiers are great with fruit salad. It couldn't be simpler. Cut up oranges, bananas, and melons, or whatever fruit you want, and serve it with a cold glass of Ommegang Witte. This beer has more pronounced orange flavor that will complement the salad beautifully.
Deeper flavors allow witbiers to stand up to slightly heartier foods. Wittekerke or Hoegaarden are classic with steamed mussels. You can even steam them in the beer. These beers work with other shellfish as well, like shrimp, clams, or lobster, especially if you add a squirt of lemon to the dish. The fizz in these beers will counteract the richness of the dish, whisking butter off your tongue.
You may not think of beer as a brunch drink, but eggs and wheat beers have a natural affinity. Try a bacon, sausage, or salmon omelet with Unibroue Blanche De Chambly. This beer has a slightly fuller body that can stand up to heavier foods.
German Wheat Beers
German wheat beers are the ultimate expression of yeast in beer. The yeast-derived banana and clove flavors are what define them. Suspended yeast gives them their characteristic cloudiness. Yeast is so important to the flavor and mouthfeel of these beers that it's recommended to gently turn the bottles before pouring to rouse the sediment off the bottom. The classic hefeweizen has lemony highlights sitting on a bready base. The less common dunkelweizen, or dark wheat, has deeper caramel flavors with subtle hints of chocolate. Both are light and refreshing, but with a mouth-filling fullness that comes from wheat proteins and yeast.
Hefeweizen is a fantastically versatile food beer. It's light enough that it won't overpower salads, but that full mouthfeel make it able to stand up to heftier fare. The yeasty fruit and spice complement a wide range of food flavors. One place they really shine is with Mexican dishes. They work well with everything from flour tortillas to black beans, simple chicken to spicy barbacoa. And high carbonation lets them cut straight through cheese and guacamole. Try Franziskaner or Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier with tacos, burritos, or flautas. The darker flavors of dunkelweizen are perfect with the darker flavors of mole-smothered dishes. Try Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel with enchiladas.
German wheat beers are a Bavarian specialty, so they are a go-to pairing for cured meats, sausages, and hams. The classic combination is hefeweizen and weisswurst. This veal and bacon sausage is often seasoned with mace, lemon, and parsley. A perfect pairing would be Brooklyner Weisse from Brooklyn Brewing. For Wiener schnitzel with a dash of lemon, reach for Sierra Nevada Keller Weiss or Paulaner Hefe-Weizen. Switch to dunkelweizen for heavier dishes like Sauerbraten. Zigeuner schnitzel, breaded veal in a spicy tomato sauce with peppers, mushrooms, and paprika, is perfect with Ayinger Ur-Weisse.
A really special treat with dunkelweizen is a chunk of bacony smoked Gouda cheese. The combination really can't be beat.
Wheat beers are so versatile that the options for food pairings are almost endless. So tell me, what do you like to eat with wheat beers?

As grizzly bear populations in Yellowstone National Park have grown, supervisors of the six national forests surrounding the park in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho have had to be more vigilant about precautions at campgrounds.
But in 2010, the mauling death of a Michigan man at a Montana campground just outside Yellowstone's northeast boundary prompted forest officials to agree to undertake a collective review of their protocols, the Missoula, Mont., Missoulian reported.
"The goal was initially to look at the causal factors that would put a campground at greater risk for grizzly bear incidents," said Marna Daley, Gallatin National Forest public affairs officer.
Those concerns seemed more valid after two hikers in Yellowstone were killed by grizzly bears in the summer of 2011.
At a meeting next month, the supervisors will receive the information that Forest Service grizzly bear coordinator Dan Tyres has gathered over the past two years after visiting 166 developed campgrounds around the park.
In addition to providing a practical inventory of what is in each campground — everything from the number of sites to how many food storage boxes may be present — the information will include bear distribution in the forests based on 21 years of data.
"The Forest Service already has a good idea of how to secure attractants at campsites," Tyres said. "But this will give us a better idea of where the infrastructure is at across the Greater Yellowstone Area."
Tyres also studied the reams of literature already written on bear encounters in campgrounds and boiled that down into what has worked and what has not.
The options available to the Forest Service vary widely.
Campgrounds could be restricted to hard-sided trailers. The amount of hiding cover could be reduced. Campgrounds could be moved away from streams and rivers, which are migratory corridors for bears and other wildlife. Patrols at campgrounds could be stepped up by campground hosts. More information could be handed out or signs posted to educate the public. Campgrounds could even be organized like the old wagon trains, with hard-sided campers on the outside edges of the campground sheltering the tent campers in the middle.
"These have all been tried with different levels of success in different areas," Tyres said.
The data confirm what the agency already knew anecdotally.
"We already have a good idea of where we more often see bears," Tyres said. "This formalizes it."
The question arises, though, how safe the Forest Service should make the great outdoors. Taken to the extreme, should campgrounds be fenced to keep bears out? Should the fences be electrified?
That's not likely to happen.
"There's a level of risk you take when visiting a national forest," said Kristie Salzmann, information officer for the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. "We can't guarantee your safety at all times."
No matter what's decided by the forest supervisors, Tyres sees his collection of information as invaluable to the forest workers on the ground, giving them a better idea of what each of the area's 166 campgrounds contains.
"This is more about putting the tools in their hands," he said.

Although they share a passion for their music, rival bands Eye Candy and Strawberry Fields also share animosity toward one another after a fight between the bands results in the death of one of the members. Now, the Eye Candy members have transferred to a prestigious high school where the members of Strawberry Fields are already attending. Can the two bands find neutral territory in their shared love of music or will they clash yet again? "Shut Up Flower Boy Band," also known as "Shut Up & Let's Go," is a 2012 South Korean comedy series directed by Lee Kwon. It is the second series produced by cable channel tvN's "Oh! Boy" series, after "Flower Boy Ramen Shop." The series is known for starring "flower boys," a phrase used to describe young, good-looking leading men.

Miley Cyrus has been hospitalized after suffering a severe allergic reaction, forcing the singer to cancel one of her shows on the Bangerz tour.
"Cyrus has been hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction to antibiotics and has been placed on medical rest by her doctors," according to a statement from the Sprint Center, where Cyrus' Kansas City show was set to take place on Tuesday.
The most loathed TV characters
Cyrus took to Twitter to share her own disappointment, as well as a photo of her in the hospital. "Kansas I promise I'm as [heartbroken] as you are," Cyrus wrote. "I wanted so badly [to be] there [tonight]. Not being with y'all makes me feel sh--tier than I already do."

If you use SolidWorks for machine design or similar industries, the Hole Wizard (Insert > Features > Hole > Wizard) is a vital tool for your daily design duties. The Hole Wizard not only makes the additional of standard holes easy during the design process, it also makes the machining of such features easier, as most CAM programs can now read the sizes and features directly.
Because of this, it's critically important that the standard Hole Wizard sizes, depths, etc. match your company standards. Thankfully, SolidWorks has made it quite simple to change the default sizes and depths for your Hole Wizard holes quickly and easily.
To begin updating everything to your standards, you will need to open the Hole Wizard database, which can be accessed by going to Tools > Options > Hole Wizard/Toolbox and selecting the configure button, or by going to Start > All Programs > SolidWorks XXXX > SolidWorks Tools > Toolbox Settings (Windows 7).
This will launch the Toolbox Settings interfac,e as shown in the picture below. To begin customizing your Hole Wizard/Toolbox, simply select the "1. Hole Wizard" link in the middle of the screen. Alternately, you can select the "1" in the upper left hand corner (highlighted in red below).
This will launch a screen that shows all of the standards that come out of the box with SolidWorks. I suggest you uncheck all standards that you will not use. If you determine you need one later, it's easy to turn it back on by simply rechecking it.
A good rule of thumb is to not change the sizes/information in an actual standard, so SolidWorks allows you to do to create a copy of ayn industry standard you would like to use as your base. To do this, click on the standard you would like to copy. In the upper left hand corner of the interface you will see a button that resembles two folders. This is the "Copy Standard" icon. Click this icon and add a name for your new standard, then click the check mark as shown below.
Now that you have created your new standard, open it by clicking on it in the list on the left side of the screen. From here, uncheck all categories of holes you do not want in your standard. In my example below, I have disabled "Taper Thread Holes" in my new standard.
After unchecking the categories of holes you do not want included in your Hole Wizard standard, you will need to go one step further and open each category, then uncheck all hole types you do not want to appear in your standard.
Now that you have limited your standard to only show the categories and types of holes you want included, you're ready to start modifying the holes sizes you want to use, and then modify the hole sizes you want to use as defaults. To do this, you will need to open each active type of hole you have (in all of the categories you have left enabled). Below you will see that I am in [Your Standard] > Counterbore Holes > Socket Head Cap Screw. To change the default sizes for counterbore diameters and depths, you will need to visit each type of hole in this category. To start, uncheck (disable) all of the sizes of holes you do not want to appear in your drop-down list inside the Hole Wizard. After you have done this, scroll all the way to the right to show the Counterbore Diameter & Counterbore Depth columns. This is where you will change the default sizes that will appear for these holes.
Now that you have updated the counterbore diameter & counterbore depth, make sure that your clearance holes are set properly. Unfortunately, this is not included in the same table. To access the clearance sizes for counterbored holes, go to [Your Standard] > Straight Holes > Screw Clearances. Here, you can change the default thru-hole sizes for a close fit, normal fit, or loose fit condition. By changing the screw clearance sizes here, you will maintain these sizes for your clearances, even if you are using a Counterbored hole or a Countersunk hole in SolidWorks.
On the left hand side of your window you will notice that all of the items you have unchecked (disabled) are greyed out. Open the items that are still active, then uncheck (disable) all of the sizes you do not want to appear.
The rest of your updating is pretty straightforward. You will have the option to update sizes for your standard in each type of hole, similar to the screen shown above. You will probably not change these, apart from possibly updating the size of the tap drill in your taps. To access this setting you will need to go to [Your Standard] > Straight Holes > Taps Drills. The tap drill size is located in the Tap Drill column.
The task of setting your standard up can become quite time consuming as you get into it; however, the return on investment is huge. The ability to standardize what is used to design (compared to what is used to produce) your parts down on the floor is an important feature that makes SolidWorks so powerful. If you feel you have made too many errors while creating your new standard, or if you have accidentally changed one of the industry standards, SolidWorks provides a backup default Toolbox database that you can copy to start fresh. It's located at \Toolbox\data utilities\lang\English and is called swbrowser.mdb.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
The USB expansion cards derive power from the PCI or PCI Express slot on the motherboard. When high-powered USB devices are connected to the USB expansion card, the power provided by the slot may not be enough to power all of the devices and you should connect additional sources of power. When you troubleshoot issues, you should connect an additional source of power.
Symptoms that you are experiencing power-related issues include certain devices not working correctly, not all of the devices working at the same time, and certain devices not working at all.
Examples of low-powered USB devices include USB mice, keyboards, and flash drives. An example of a high-powered USB device is an external hard drive that does not have an external source of power.
USB 3.1 is the most recent version of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) standard for connecting computers and electronic devices. It is capable of data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, and while it can use the USB-C connector type, it can also use a variety of other connector types. To achieve USB 3.1 transfer speeds, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support USB 3.1. USB 3.1 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps).
USB 3.0 is capable of data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps).
USB 3.1 is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, except in the following scenarios:
- USB-B 3.1 cables are not compatible with USB-B 2.0 ports.
- Unless you use an adapter, USB-C ports or cables will not work with USB-A or USB-B ports or cables.
- Devices that require USB 3.1 transfer speeds of 10Gbps might not work with USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, or you might experience lower transfer speeds and impacted performance.
- Bus-powered USB devices that requires more power than what USB 2.0 can provide are not compatible with USB 2.0.
For products related to this article, click here.
To transfer data at speeds of 10Gbps, you need to confirm that the following components in your setup support USB 3.1:
- The USB host connection
- The USB cable
- The USB device and any subcomponents (for example, a hard drive docking station and the hard drives in the docking station)
Note: USB 3.1 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps). Devices that support USB 3.1 should have the USB 3.1 symbol on them. If the USB 3.1 symbol does not appear on your USB source or device, refer to the information provided by the manufacturer to confirm whether the USB source or device support USB 3.1.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, if you use USB 3.1.
- Bi-directional power delivery up to 100W, if both the USB host connection and the device support it.
- Alternate modes, which deliver different types of data at different speeds. For example, DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
Before you install the device, make sure that your operating system is current (for example, the most recent service pack is installed).
- Download the latest drivers from the StarTech.com website at www.startech.com/Support. The part number and product ID are on the product packaging.
Note: Windows usually saves the files to the Downloads folder that is associated with your user account (for example, C:\Users\your_name\Downloads).
- After the download is complete, right-click the zip folder that you downloaded, click Extract All, and complete the instructions.

When you troubleshoot issues with a USB controller card, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
USB cables
USB devices
USB controller card
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the USB cable, device, and controller card in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different USB cable, device, and controller card in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the USB device and controller card, it is recommended that you do the following:
Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager. Check to see if your device is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
If you do not see the USB controller card listed in Device Manager please see this FAQ: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=expansion-cards#pci-pcie-cannot-boot-os-or-detect-windows.
If the device is listed with an error, follow the instructions on the website to reinstall the drivers.
If your setup components support USB 3.1 but you are experiencing slower transfer speeds than you expected, consider the following:
- A USB host connection with multiple USB 3.1 ports might not be able to support 10Gbps on each port simultaneously.
- The type of port on a device does not determine whether the device is capable of USB 3.1 speeds. A USB-C port might not support USB 3.1 speeds, while USB-A and USB-B ports might support USB 3.1 speeds.
- Any other devices that you include in your setup, such as an older hard drive in a USB 3.1 enclosure, might create a point of congestion and slow down transfer speeds.
To confirm the functionality of your USB host connection, its ports, and any other devices in your setup, refer to the information provided by the manufacturer.
Note: USB 3.1 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps). Devices that support USB 3.1 should have the USB 3.1 symbol on them. If the USB 3.1 symbol does not appear on your USB source or device, refer to the information provided by the manufacturer to confirm whether the USB source or device support USB 3.1.

I wish I could have found a photo with Ninjas
That is what I dreamt last night. It was a silly debate unless, of course, one looks for the deeper meaning of the symbolism involved. So off to Google I went and pulled up interpretations from 3 different sites:
Site #1: "Hair come from our heads so in dreams it can symbolize thoughts or how you think with regards to the subject matter of the dream." Huh? The subject matter of my dream WAS hair and what I think about my hair. In essence, this site is saying that my dream means that I think I have thick hair. Well, duh! I do have thick hair. So this dream symbolism isn't really symbolism after all.
Site #2: "Hair represents sensitivity and the dreamer's thoughts." I have a little issue with this interpretation as well. So does thick hair mean heightened sensitivity? Does thin hair mean insensitivity? And why would I argue with Evil on how sensitive I am? This dreamer's thoughts are that I don't think this is the meaning of this dream at all. Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive.
Site #3: "If your hair was luxuriant and you were pleased with its appearance and/or condition it is a sign of good health, progress, and contentment; but if it was thin, falling out, or worrying you in any way, it forecasts difficulties ahead." Cue Twilight Zone music. Too "out there" and too "horoscope-y" for me. This makes me think, then, that the interpreter here has a bias against bald people, is a hair bigot, AND prejudiced against the follicly challenged. Any dream analysis that proclaims any one dream symbol can broadly forecast the future is, in my opinion, bunk. Don't get me wrong, I've had dreams that have come true (where to find a missing cat, Mr. Sister's travel to Australia long before he began working for an Australian company, the death of my brother). But you cannot overgeneralize. It just doesn't work that way, at least for me.
I believe dreams to be very personal things. There are, most definitely, archetypal symbols. An example would be dreaming about a house: the levels of a house correlate with the levels of consciousness from the very deep subconsciousness (basement) to a heightened state of spirituality/self awareness (attic/penthouse/top floor). But the dreamer must determine what the dreams mean for themselves. My silly dream above is actually a recurring theme (the good vs evil part...not the hair). I am usually in some sort of battle with Evil...either a physical fight, a scholarly debate, or simply a schoolyard taunting. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, and sometimes it's a draw.
Normally, I associate these confrontations as a metaphor to where I am at in my spiritual journey. Although, sometimes, my dreams simply provide pure comic relief for what has become a serious endeavor for the the past year and a half.
I am glad that I dream.
I am grateful that I can remember my dreams.
I am thankful to be able to use them as guideposts as I trudge my own unique path towards becoming the woman I am meant to be.

Yes, this is really happening.
Tom Cruise on Friday posted a photo on his website of himself in character as Stacee Jaxx on the set of "Rock of Ages," the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical.
As bizarre as this whole thing seems to us, we keep reminding ourselves that Cruise first achieved fame for lip-syncing to Bob Seger "Old Time Rock n Roll" in "Risky Business."
U.S. & World
"Rock of Ages" is the story of two crazy kids--he's from Detroit, she's from Small-town USA--who both head to Hollywood to follow their dreams of rock stardom during in 1987, where they meet and fall in love.
The film is being directed by Adam Shankman and also stars Julianne Hough, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Mary J. Blige, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Bryan Cranston and Diego Boneta. It's slated to open June 1, 2012.

B wrote:Hi MF, we've talked before about juicing veges and fruits. What are your favorite recipes, and do you have any for energy, better sleep, endurance, post workout, etc.? Thanks
#1: Post exercise (recovery)
Protein powder, oat, rice milk or liquid of choice, small palmful of grated raw nuts, 1 x tbsp powdered greens, 5g creatine and 5g Glutamine.
** Most people seem to know about the benefits of creatine - strength, recovery, brain health etc. The grated nuts add a little extra protein as well as providing some Omega 3 and antioxidants. Glutamine is often not given the credit it probably deserves, I feel that as a supplement it's fairly useful and has a number of benefits that aren't just exclusive to building muscle. Obviously there's the potential to improve lean muscle mass as it's mainly made and stored in the muscles (released from the muscles and transported to tissues that need it in times of stress), but it's also great for people with Crohns, Diverticulitis, IBS etc. It has the ability to protect the gut from breakdown, decreasing the permeability of the intestinal wall. It's also a fuel source for liver cells and rapidly dividing cells, such as gut and immune cells.

A screenshot of the upcoming iCloud storage service from Apple shows that if your free 5GB of storage gets eaten up by backups, calendars, or other data, your e-mail will get choked out, as noted by a screenshot sent to MacRumors. If the storage cap is reached, users stop receiving e-mail at their me.com addresses, and anything sent there is bounced back to the sender.
On the one hand, this isn't terribly surprising—what should Apple do, let people keep using space they're not supposed to have? But because e-mail is being routed through the same virtual space that can only hold a fraction of a full-sized iPhone backup, this is bound to happen quite a bit.
It's not only e-mail that stops, either: device backups will also cease until space is cleared. Apple hasn't announced anything to this effect yet, but we expect that there will be pricing tiers above the free 5GB for customers with a larger, more active setup of devices.
Another possible solution would be to route e-mail outside the 5GB box, similar to the PhotoStream service. As long as Apple keeps an e-mail size cap, that shouldn't be too much of a traffic hit. In fact, given a choice of exempt services, we'd almost certainly choose e-mail over photos.

Overcoming Blind Spots: Compare Translations
In last Friday's post, I talked about how we sometimes have blind spots when it comes to reading the Bible. By "blind spots," I mean those things we gloss over or simply fail to see because of our preconceptions about what the text says. Over the next several posts, I want to talk about some ways we can overcome those blind spots.
In life, the only way to overcome a blind spot is to change your perspective. If you're driving a car, you make sure nothing is in your blind spot by quickly turning your head to see what you could not see in your rearview mirror. Some cars have special convex mirrors to show you what a flat mirror cannot. These days, high end vehicles are beginning to offer video cameras to augment mirrors. All of these methods essentially amount to a change in perspective so that you see that to which you were previously blind.
When studying the Bible, how can you adjust your perspective in order to see past the blind spots brought on by your preconceptions? One simple method is to compare multiple translations of the same passage. Once you've read the passage in your preferred translation, open one or more additional translations in parallel panes and see if they render the passage differently. Reading a less familiar translation often helps draw your attention to details you might have glossed over or missed before.
I recommend using at least one "formal" translation (like the ESV or NASB), and one more "dynamic" translation (like the NIV or NLT) to help highlight important differences. At the risk of greatly oversimplifying things, a formal translation is one which strives to remain as close as possible to the wording, grammar, and sentence structure of the original Greek and Hebrew texts. Dynamic translations, on the other hand, tend to focus on translating the meaning of the original into natural-sounding English. Think of formal translations as more or less word-for-word and dynamic translations as more or less thought-for-thought. Translators debate about which approach is best, and all translations fall somewhere along a continuum between these two approaches. Since Accordance enables you to view and compare both kinds of translation, you can benefit from each one's strengths.
For help comparing the differences between two translations, simply check the Compare Texts checkbox. Accordance will then highlight the differences between the first two texts of the same language.
If you have another pane containing a translation you would like to compare with one of the first two, simply drag that pane to the left so that it is one of the first two panes. The highlighting will update accordingly.
Using multiple translations can help you overcome blind spots by helping you see aspects of the text you might otherwise have missed. In upcoming posts, I'll cover some other methods of overcoming blind spots.

Nick Matthews
That's one of the reasons why I selected the JPS as one of my bibles. There are many translations that maintain at some level, part of the heritage of the KJV. The criticial source texts may be updated, and the language may be refreshed, but texts such as the ESV and NRSV derive throught the RSV, ASV, RV through to the KJV.
While the JPS only contains a translation of the OT, I felt that it provided a much different interpretation of the text. It's interesting in many ways precisely because it does not follow the NT tradition, and takes a much different ideological stance.
I've also become a fan of comparing any translation against the NET, especially when I have the extensive NET notes pane showing, as it often illuminates the translation decisions.

Scrip(redirected from scrip dividends)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia.
Related to scrip dividends: scrip issues
A temporary document that represents a portion of a share of stock, often issued after a stock split or spin-off.
1. A private sector substitute for currency. Historically, scrip was used in logging and mining communities dominated by a single company, and employees had to buy goods from the company store. Presently, it is more closely associated with gift certificates, gift cards, and re-loadable debit cards. Militaries also occasionally pay soldiers in scrip when they are on deployment. In Australia, buyout offers including stock in place of or in addition to cash are known as scrip bids. See also: Money.
2. An IOU from a publicly-traded company that is short on cash. Such a company pays dividends in scrip until it resolves its liquidity problems.
2. An IOU from a publicly-traded company that is short on cash. Such a company pays dividends in scrip until it resolves its liquidity problems.
A certificate that can be exchanged for a fractional share of stock. Scrip is distributed as the result of a spinoff, a stock dividend, or a stock split in which the stockholder would be entitled to a fractional share of stock. For example, the owner of a single share would receive scrip for one-half a share in the event the issuer declared a three-for-two stock split.
Scrip is a certificate or receipt that represents something of value but has no intrinsic value. What's essential is that the issuer and the recipient must agree on the value that the scrip represents.
For example, in the past, after a corporate stock split or spin-off, a company might issue scrip representing a fractional share of stock for each share you owned. On or before a specific date, you could combine the certificates and convert the value they represented into full shares.
But most companies today make a cash payment for fractional shares based on the closing price of the stock on a specific date.

Week 2 Big Game
DII Calvert (1-0) @ DI Coolidge (1-0) – Friday Sept. 8 7:30pm
My big game this week is out east. Battle of the Big C's…DII Calvert vs DI Coolidge.
Both teams opened up with easy wins in week 1; Calvert beating San Marcos Hill Country Christian 66-36 and Coolidge beating Rockwall Heritage 45-0. The Coolidge win in my eyes is much more impressive, given that they not only 45ed them, but shutout a perineal private school team in Rockwall Heritage.
In the preseason, I was buying stock in Coolidge and selling in Calvert, mainly due to what the teams were returning from last season. Week one showed me nothing that would make me change my mind and I like Coolidge in this game, even though they will be coming in as a 16-point underdog. The Yellow Jackets' sophomore sensation running back Torrey Hoover, who rushed for 172 yards, 5 touchdowns on 12 carries last week against Rockwall Heritage, will be the player to watch and his play will likely dictate how the game will play out.
Calvert is in what many would consider a rebuilding year, as they return only two starters on both offense and defense and have a brand, new coaching staff to boot. How their game will play out may hinge on the performance of running back Coylin Grimes, as he tried to fill the void left after All-State utility back Jaquan Thompson graduated last spring. How their game will play out may hinge on the performances of running backs Coylin Grimes and James Green as they tried to fill the void left after All-State utility back Jaquan Thompson graduated last spring. In last week's win, Green threw for 129 yards and rushed for 85 yards with 3 TDs, while Grimes carried the ball five times for 51 yards and two TDs.
Coolidge has only beat Calvert twice since the Trojans have been in the six-man ranks; both times in 1999, with Calvert holding a 6-2 record in the series since their inaugural six-man season in 1998. The schools have amazingly not played each other since 2007, when Calvert triumphed by a score of 51-6.
The Key to Victory: It will be the play of the secondary for both teams. Both Calvert and Coolidge possess explosive speed, so whichever team can make the touchdown saving tackles in open field will win this game. I think Coolidge's superback Hoover will give the Trojan defense fits all night and late in the game stamina may become an issue for their secondary. I think Coolidge wears them down and pulls away late for their first win against Calvert since their 1999, 66-33 Bi-District win.

Rules of Engagement
My daughter met her special someone when she was 15. They married when she was 22, and the whole time they were together it was a long distance relationship. They didn't go to the same school so they only saw each other at church or when one of them could make the 45 minute drive to the other's house. Then when they graduated from high school, he went across the state to college. What had been seeing each other once or twice a week became once or twice a quarter. Thank heavens for email, texting, and cell phones!
My daughter will be the first to admit that it was really tough, but also that it was invaluable for their relationship. Because they didn't have a lot of time to be together physically, they spend a lot of time talking and working through issues together.
One of the most important things they hammered out were the ground rules for fighting.
#1 - No violence. Ever.
#2 - Leave the past in the past. Don't drag it into present conflicts.
#3 - Leave out absolutes like "you always" or "you never"
#4 - Remember that words are as hurtful as knives. Choose the words you speak carefully as they can't be unspoken.
#5 - Don't let the sun set on your anger. Or if it sets and you're still angry, stay up all night working it out. Don't go to bed mad.
#6- Don't walk away in anger. Stay and work it out.
#7 - No withholding. The marriage bed is not a bargaining tool.
I must confess that recently I broke one of those rules. Sort of. You see, my Cuisinart broke. It just stopped working one day. I wasn't shocked as I'd bought that food processor at a yard sale 20 years ago for $10 (yes, I know, I have amazing yard sale blessings).
A food processor isn't an absolute necessity. Lots of people get by without them. It's just that for certain tasks it's really, really nice to have one. So when my husband asked about some apple scones I'd talked about making, I ....(hangs head in shame)....withheld. No, not the marriage bed, the scones.
"I can't make them without a food processor," I said, trying to convince myself it was only a teensy, weensy lie, knowing full well that I was certainly capable of making scones without a food processor. I just didn't want to. And if the scones were dangled out there as bait, maybe hubbie would be motivated to buy me a new one.
Hubbie is no fool. He, too, knows that scones can be made without an appliance (well, an oven is a necessity), but he's a big sweetie and likes to spoil me. So he went ahead and ordered me a new one. It was just like Christmas when that big box arrived on the doorstep! And the very first thing I made to break in my new baby was the apple scones. So, I'm not totally evil, am I?
These are so easy to make in the food processor, and they're "rustic," which means zero fuss. Let the food processor do the work, knead in the apple bits, lump it onto a baking sheet, score, and bake. You're half an hour away from delicious, warm scones!
If you've had a fight and need to do penance, try making the scones. All will be forgiven, I'm sure. And if you don't have a food processor, they are terrific incentive for getting one.
Apple Buttermilk Scones
- adapted from Muffins and Other Morning Bakes by Linda Collister
Makes 8 scones
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup raw sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
6-1/2 Tbs unsalted butter, chilled and diced
about 2/3 cup buttermilk, plus extra for brushing
1- Preheat the oven to 425 deg. F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2- Peel, core, and coarsely chip the apple into 1/2-inch chunks.
3- In the food processor combine the flours, baking soda, and sugar. Pulse briefly to mix. Add the butter and process until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. With the machine running, add the buttermilk through the feed tube to make a soft but not sticky dough.
4- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead in the apple chunks to form a coarse, bumpy dough. Don't worry is they're not totally incorporated.
5- Shape the dough into a ball and put in onto the prepared baking sheet. Pat the dough into a 9-inch round. Brush lightly with buttermilk, then sprinkle with a little raw sugar to give a crunchy surface. Using a sharp knife, score the round into 8 wedges, but don't separate them.
6- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
7- Cool on a wire rack. You can eat them immediately, warm, or they are also good split and toasted. If you really want to go crazy, slather them with good butter and your favorite jam or honey. But I find them irresistible plain.
*I use a blend of 1/2 all-purpose flour, 1/2 white whole wheat

Sounds delicious! Baked apples are so good.
I can relate to long distance relationships. I was in for at least 2 years, until the beginning of this year when my boyfriend asked me to move in with him. Meaning I moved to another state, and since he is in the Army.. 3 months later I ended up moving to another state! What an adventure it will be but now at least I can share it with someone.

I can smell those scones from here...and they would be lovely with a cup of spiced tea. You have a smart hubbie who knows when to not question if you can but to love that you do. Lucky guy and lucky you!

Calls for all the right ingredients: apples, whole wheat and buttermilk! That's got to be a winner.
Your guy knows when to call your bluff ... and when not too ;-)
Everybody wins.

These look great, and I'm honestly considering making them right now since it's so quick (but I'm also feeling kinda lazy :)).
Your daughter's rules are a great map for nearly any relationship (friends, family, significant other). And as your post pointed out "No Witholding" can also be applied by replacing "bed" with any number of things (and is slightly less disturbing if the fight is with my brothers :) ).

My brother and his wife did the long distance thing as well. Maybe that makes the marriage that much sweeter. :-) The scones sound delicious...I think I usually make them with my hands but I do LOVE my food processor!

This adzuki bean and pumpkin casserole may not look pretty, but it's very tasty and nutritious! I have had dried adzuki beans in my pantry for a while now so I really wanted to use them up, and I was keen to try a recipe by Janella Purcell who's clinic is right next door to where I was lunching on Saturday. I always keep kombu in my pantry, and use it for almost all the vegetable soups I make regularly. This casserole really is full of goodness, so I made sure to have it ready for my partner who had just returned home from a 'boys' weekend' ;-)
(Recipe adapted from Janella Purcell)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
small knob of fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 cup adzuki beans, soaked over night and drained
1/2 butternut pumpkin, cut into chunks
40g dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked for 30 minutes in warm water
1 stick of kombu
750ml water
ground black pepper
salt reduced soy sauce or tamari
toasted sesame seeds, to serve
Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and sauté for a few minutes. Add the garlic and the ginger and sauté for another minute. Add the pumpkin, the beans, mushrooms, kombu and water and season with pepper and soy sauce. Leave to simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the beans are tender. Take out the kombu and slice it into small pieces, then return the kombu into the saucepan. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with brown rice.

All About Baby
At 14 weeks your baby is a regular wiggler, but because of his small size you probably won't feel it yet. Your baby-to-be's face is becoming more distinguishable as his eyes move closer together and his ears move closer to their final positions. He's also growing soft baby hair all over his body, which is thought to help anchor developing skin, as well as forming hair on his eyebrows and scalp. He may hiccup too, even though his lungs are filled with fluid, not air.
At your doctor's visit, ask to hear the baby's heartbeat. At this point, using a Doppler they should be able to hear the tiny beating. Or beatings, if you're carrying twins or more ("What? Triplets?!?").
All About You
Finally Looking Pregnant
This week you may still be tired and fatigued, although your nausea is probably gone. You may be experiencing some growing pains as your baby belly pushes your internal organs aside. As your stomach loses space, you'll likely have more heartburn, indigestion, and flatulence. You continue to take frequent bathroom breaks as your bladder has less room to expand. Sleeping may become more difficult, too, as your baby bump grows.
Shopping for Maternity Clothes
Can't stretch your zipper anymore? Your baby bump may finally be making a dent in your wardrobe. If your favorite, snug-fitting jeans are getting a little too tight, you're in need of a shopping spree.
"I always say that for pregnant women, when it comes to clothes, it's like having your house burn down," explains Rebecca Matthias, a maternity fashion expert and the president of world's largest maternity brands including A Pea in the Pod, Mimi Maternity, and Motherhood. "You literally have to start from scratch with a wardrobe you'll only be wearing for a few months." A little smart shopping can go a long way toward making sure you have the clothes you need and on a budget you can live with.
Aim for Versatility: By carefully choosing your wardrobe you won't have to buy so many clothes, explains Matthias. Instead of buying a full wardrobe, she suggests you pick basics and then add accessories to vary your outfits (accessories you can wear even after your baby arrives!).
Buy Basics:
- Jeans: "Jeans are usually the first item women buy," says Matthias. She points out there's a wide range of styles and belly options for pregnant women. Try on several pairs before you decide to buy: some belly styles may be more comfortable than others.
- T-shirts: Once you have your perfect pair of jeans, match them with a few T-shirts. Stick to basic colors that you can layer or throw a non-maternity sweater over to get the most wear out of your shirts.
- Black pants: Whether you work or not, black slacks are a must for your wardrobe, says Matthias. You can easily dress up or dress down with basic black (plus black tends to de-emphasize your expanding figure).
- White shirt: Like black pants, a white shirt can be paired with jeans for a casual look or with black pants for a dressier style.
Picking Sizes: Maternity sizes should parallel non-maternity sizes. If you're a small in regular women's clothes, you're most likely a small in maternity clothes too. Shirts are cut nearly identically through the shoulders and arms, points out Matthias. When it comes to your belly, however, there's a variety of shirt styles, from draping to ruching to pleats, to complement your baby bump.
For pants, you won't need to worry about numbered sizes: maternity pants come in small, medium, and large, like the shirts.
Knowing When to Splurge: You'll only be wearing your baby bump-friendly wardrobe for a few months, but that doesn't mean you can't be a fashionista. Accessorize with jewelry and handbags to vary your outfits. Splurge on a few favorite outfits for those days when you get tired of being pregnant. Matthias's suggestion for a splurge? A nice maternity dress. "You're going to want something to wear for special occasions, like your baby shower."
Got questions about Week 14? Other women have wondered…
Q: When do you start showing and looking pregnant?
Early in your pregnancy, you may feel pregnant but look far from it. Many women feel as though they are in a perpetually bloated state, but there is no rounding of the belly to show for it! How soon you begin to 'show' is as varied and individual as women are. Just when you do pop depends on several factors. Read more about looking pregnant.
Q: How can I relieve my pregnancy constipation?
Unfortunately, several factors conspire to make pregnancy quite constipating. So what's a mother to do? Drink plenty of fluids. Getting dehydrated can add to the problem. Read more about relieving pregnancy constipation.
Q: What are some good interfaith baby names?
For interfaith couples, the decision of what to name a child can be a potential battlefield of religious and family obligations. Luckily biblical names such as Daniel, Jacob, Isaac, Abigail, Hannah, and Sarah work well in both. Read more about baby names.
Your Partner
Has Your Partner Popped?
Not only does she begin to feel better during the second trimester, but your partner will really start to look and feel pregnant now, too (instead of just feeling like she is getting fat).
This new change will impact you two ways:
- You're partner is now showing, which means that it is time for her to go shopping for maternity clothes. This is a rite of passage and should be encouraged and supported. Remember, the better your partner feels—physically and psychologically—the better her body focuses on taking care of herself and your baby.
- The idea of becoming a dad is sinking in. During the second trimester, many men begin to really understand that they are about to become fathers. That first 12-week ultrasound might be the point at which you first start to feel it, and now seeing your wife's expanding belly and the physical evidence of the baby growing inside creates an even more profound realization that you are on the path to fatherhood.
Many expecting dads even find themselves saying things like, "Wow, you really look pregnant!" in part because the physical appearance of the mom-to-be is something of a shock to them. Remember to be supportive of your partner's growing girth. Even though she's feeling better and enjoying those maternity clothes, she may feel sensitive about her size. That growing roundness is a sign of your impending baby. Celebrate her changing body with her!

From Parochial and Plain Sermons
by Venerable John Henry Newman
by Venerable John Henry Newman
Let us weigh carefully our Lord's solemn announcements uttered shortly before His crucifixion, and, though addressed primarily to His Apostles, yet, surely, in their degree belonging to all who "believe on Him through their word." We shall find that consistent obedience, mature, habitual, lifelong holiness, is therein made the condition of His intimate favour, and of power in Intercession. "If ye abide in Me," he says, "and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples. As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you; abide ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love. Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard of My Father, I have made known unto you." [John xv. 7-15.] From this solemn grant of the peculiarly Gospel privilege of being the "friends" of Christ, it is certain, that as the prayer of repentance gains for us sinners Baptism and justification, so our higher gift of having power with Him and prevailing, depends on our "adding to our faith virtue."
