Bring back the pillbox hat already. It's time! |
The Dodgers are in Pittsburgh today for the second leg of their east coast road trip. When we faced the Pirates in April, it was a 3-game sweep, but that was back when the Dodgers were on their season-opening tear. When the Dodgers took their June nosedive, however, they raced past the Bucs on their way down, so we now trail them by 3 games in the loss column. Barring the ideal outcome of winning the division, in the race for the at a wild card slots this year, a series victory here would be an enormous boon.
The last time we saw Karstens, Capuano out-dueled him for a 3-2 victory (and SoSG Stubbs' inaugural victory of the season), but he draws Harang's spot in the rotation this time around. Judging by his MLB.com profile photo, he appears to have been working on his intimidation factor for just this occasion.
I call this one "The Rocky II" |

Blueprints involving bleutneut
Launchpad lets projects track the features they intend to implement over the next few releases. We call each feature proposal a "blueprint", and it can be a single paragraph placeholder for the idea, or a full-blown development specification. Once a blueprint is in Launchpad, we can generate reports of the project roadmap, as well as notifying interested developers of blueprint status changes. It's a great way to build a small community around an idea, feature or proposal.
This is also a good way to keep track of the features a particular person is interested in.
If you are interested in understanding the Blueprints tracker in more detail then you should take a look at the system documentation, where you can learn the best practices for effective community building and release management with Launchpad.

Panko Crusted Halibut with Colcannon and Roasted Tomatoes |
As with all classic dishes there are as many different colcannon recipes as there are Irish households that make it. There are even many ways of spelling it like colcanon and kohl cannon. In my quirky head I feel obliged to call it "kale-connon" since this version is made with kale. Must be the Rachel Ray goddess in me! This particular recipe for this potato dish is adapted from our very own Matt Armendariz of Matt Bites noted on the Cooking Channel website. It is perfect as an everyday side dish, peasant lunch or breakfast with eggs or butter beans, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with festive green and white...or the first day of Spring!! FYI: Traditionally colcannon made with kale was served at Hallowe'en.
The Spring feast begins with a short prayer, or toast:
Blessed be the new season.
Blessed be all who share this feast.
From Shepherd's Pie with Ulster Champ, to Colcannon Soup with Irish Soda Bread we have been celebrating being Irish all week as well as the rebirth of Spring. We are not really Irish of course but it is fun to adopt a nation for more than just one day. Irish-Canadians are the fourth largest group in Canada with a population of four and half million or fourteen percent of the total population. The earliest recorded Irish presence in Canada was in 1537 when a group of fishermen from Cork sailed to the island of Newfoundland. I wonder what their impressions of "the rock" were, whether they arrived in winter, or were amazed by the Grand Banks teaming with cod? Irish immigration peaked of course during and after the Great Irish Famine, a great number settling in these Maritime provinces.
As mentioned previously for today's celebration I chose to prepare a halibut dish with a side of traditional Colcannon made with kale and some roasted tomatoes on the side. Next to salmon I would have to say that halibut is my favourite fish with its sparkling white meat. It is a lean, mild tasting fish whose firm flesh holds together well when cooked. It was perfect baked in the oven topped with a light Panko crust. For those of you watching your calories this method is a favourite of mine. I sometimes add a little lemon zest, shake up the herb factor or use mayonnaise, yogurt or different flavoured mustards as the coating layer.
You've heard of tuna referred to as "Chicken of the Sea" well how's about "Hippo of the Sea" which comes from the halibut's Latin family name Hippoglossus. "Holy flatfish" is the English derivation, with hali for holy and but for flat, hailing from the halibut's legacy as a special fish served on holy days (or holidays) in medieval Ireland. If the first day of Spring is not a Holy day then what is!!!
This meal came together very quickly, and could even be considered a 30 minute cookbook meal, but it is restaurant ready!! The only downfall is the amount of washing up afterwards!This recipes serves 4 so your friends and family can help you with the dishes! Sláinte!
Olive oil (for the dish) or cooking spray
4 pieces (5 ounces each) skinless halibut fillet (each about 3/4-inch thick)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup plain yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard or grainy mustard
4 russet potatoes, cleaned, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves minced
2 leeks, cleaned and whites thinly sliced
2 bunches kale, stems removed and chopped
2/3 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
Roasted Tomatoes:
15 cherry tomatoes
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450F.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with the olive oil, thyme sprigs and pepper. Distribute tomatoes on a foiled oven tray and cook in the oven for approximately15 minutes until the tomatoes are beginning to collapse. At the dsame time start the colcannon.(see below).
Halfway through cooking the tomatoes lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Pat the halibut dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set the fish in the baking dish and brush the top liberally with yogurt, mayonnaise, or either mustards. I tend use grainy mustard which adds a lot of subtle flavours. Sprinkle the top of the halibut with the crumb mixture.
Bake the fish for 10 minutes. With a low oil content, halibut will dry out easily if overcooked therefore cook it for 10 minutes per 2.5 cm (1 inch) of thickness or until the flesh loses its glossy appearance and flakes easily when pressed with a fork.
Meanwhile prepare the colcannon. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and fill with water to cover. Bring the potatoes to a boil on medium-high heat and continue to boil until the potatoes are fork tender, 20-25 minutes. Cut the potatoes smaller for a faster cooking time.
Place 6 tablespoons of butter, cream and garlic in a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer on medium-low heat. Cover to keep hot.
In a large saute pan melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter on medium heat and saute the leeks for about 1 minute. Add the kale to the leeks and continue to saute for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the water over the kale and leek mixture, stir and cover. Allow the mixture to cook until the kale has wilted and the liquid has cooked off, about 7 minutes.
Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain them and place them back into the pot. Begin mashing the potatoes, while adding the cream mixture a little at a time, until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. I like to whip my potatoes with a hand mixer. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the leeks and wilted kale into the potatoes, adjust the seasonings.
Serve the crusted halibut perched on top of the colcannon and top with roasted tomatoes.
Serves 4

Orthodox Christian Mission Center
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center is the official Orthodox Missions and Evangelism Agency established by the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas, and now an agency of the Episcopal Assembly of North and Central America. The headquarters of the OCMC is in St. Augustine, Florida. It supports Orthodox missionary activities world wide and currently includes training and sending missionary teams to countries such as Argentina, Paraguay, Uganda, Tanzania, Albania, Korea, Puerto Rico, and Philippines. The teams preach, teach, and baptize as well as minister to the poor, hungry, suffering, and orphaned. They also strive to strengthen the infrastructures of the local churches through development of local leaders.
Early Years
The roots of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center go back to the late 1950's, when students at Holy Cross School of Theology began to accept students from sub-saharan Africa. Other members of the student body began a Missions Committee to raise support for their fellow-students, and to raise consciousness in general about the work of the Church in Africa. Among the leaders of this effort was Alexander Veronis, later to become the founding President of OCMC.
As the students touched by this outreach graduated and began to serve parishes in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, their interest in mission followed them and began to have an impact across the Archdiocese. In response to a proposal at the 17th Clergy-Laity Congress in 1966, the Archdiocese organized the Standing Committee on Missions. This committee, composed of twenty volunteer clergy and lay members, conducted an annual solicitation for overseas Missions throughout the parishes of the Archdiocese, primarily directed at providing scholarship assistance to Mission students from Uganda, Kenya, Korea, and Mexico. Bishop Silas of Amphipolis was the Chairman of the Standing Commitee. Fr. Alexander Veronis and Fr. Alexander Doumouras served to coordinate the efforts of the Committee, but there was no salaried staff dedicated to the committee or to missions efforts.
St. Augustine, Florida
In 1984, the 27th Clergy-Laity Congress approved the creation of a permanent office for the mission effort, as well as the appointment of a salaried Executive Director. Fr. Dimitrios Couchell was appointed by Archbishop Iakovos as Executive Director of what was now called the Archdiocesan Mission Center. St. Photios National Shrine in St. Augustine, Florida provided the first offices for the Center. The first edition of the Mission Center's semiannual publication "Mission," identified the continuation of scholarships to ten mission students as a key priority, along with direct support to the Makarios III Patriarchal Seminary in Nairobi, St. Herman's Seminary in Kodiak, indigenous priests in Ghana and Korea, and support for missionaries from the Church of Greece serving in Africa. By the end of 1985, the Mission Center had announced the appointment of the first full time missionaries to Africa (Fr. Daniel and Nancy Christopoulos), as well as sent a study team to Ethiopia, Ghana, and Kenya.
Mission Teams
An early project of the Mission Center was the establishment of Mission Teams, groups of short-term workers from America that would visit mission communities in the developing world, ostensibly to work on building projects, but also in doing so to provide witness to the local communities. The first team, under the leadership of Fr. Paul Costopoulos, visited Laikipia, Kenya in 1987 to build the Nativity of Christ Orthodox Church. The following year, another team led by Fr. Alexander Veronis constructed a medical clinic in Chavogere, Kenya. The Mission Board followed up by supporting the provision of medical personnel and funds to support the clinic. According to the website of the OCMC, by 2007 twenty teams annually were being organized and sent to ten countries.
The Mission Center also organized fundraising programs designed to raise consciousness at home and to creatively tap new sources of revenue. An early effort was the Support a Mission Priest program, which sought to identify monthly donors to provide for the payment of regular stipends to indigenous clergy working in developing countries. The Agape Canister Program placed collection boxes in restaurants, stores, and other businesses with large volumes of foot traffic. Members of the public were invited to support humanitarian efforts globally by dropping coins and bills into the boxes, which were collected by volunteers who forwarded the funds to the Mission Center. To encourage business owners who might have concerns about soliciting for religious purposes, the Mission Center identified specific humanitarian projects to be the recipients of the monies collected through the canisters.
Mission Center becomes OCMC
Although an agency of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America, the Mission Center had early in its life included members on its Board from other Orthodox jurisdictions under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, such as the Albanian Orthodox Diocese of America and the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese. In 1993, Charles Ajalat proposed to Archbishop Iakovos that the Mission Center become an agency of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas, thus expanding the scope of its ministry. This concept was embraced by the Mission Center Board and the SCOBA members, and was approved by the 32nd Clergy-Laity Congress. Consistent with the change of ownership, the Archdiocesan Mission Center changed its name to the Orthodox Christian Mission Center.
The Board of the Mission Center was restructured. Previously, the Board had consisted of three members from each of the constituent dioceses in the Archdiocese of America. Under the new structure, each of the member jurisdictions of SCOBA was allocated seats on the Board, the Board members being appointed by the primates of their respective jurisdictions.
The Archdiocesan Mission Center had been responsible for both domestic and foreign (i.e., outside North America) mission efforts on behalf of the Archdiocese. Although the original intention was for the OCMC to have this role for SCOBA, some of the jurisdictions balked at moving their domestic ministries to the new entity. Accordingly, the Board determined to redefine its efforts to focus exclusively on foreign missions. Since this meant that the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese no longer had a domestic mission agency, a new Department of Missions was set up under the umbrella of the Archdiocese.
The reorganization of OCMC coincided with the end of communism in Eastern Europe. Bolstered by the participation of the jurisdictions with roots in Russia and Eastern Europe, the OCMC became engaged in providing resources and mission teams to work with the newly emerging churches, especially in Albania, where the church was emerging from total suppression.
Fr. Martin Ritsi
Fr. Dimitrios Couchell was elected Bishop of Xanthos in 1998 and transferred to New York to take up new responsibilities as SCOBA General Secretary. Fr. Martin Ritsi, who had been a missionary in Kenya and Albania since the early days of the Mission Center, was selected as the new Executive Director. Fr. Martin brought a renewed focus on the sending of individual long-term missionaries, particularly couples with children. By 2006, the OCMC website reported that sixteen missionaries and mission families were serving, with a strong emphasis on assignments in Albania.
Physical Plant
At its founding in 1984, the Mission Center shared facilties with the St. Photios Shrine in St. Augustine. It was quickly realized that the limited facilities were not sufficient to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding program. A property was acquired at 92 Cedar Street in St. Augustine, and proclaimed the "Fr. Alexander Veronis Orthodox Mission Center." With the support of several large benefactors and a major fundraising drive, the mortgage was paid off in 1990. By 2003, the OCMC had moved into a new facility at 85 South Dixie Highway, with plans to create an even larger facility which would allow for training and educational facilities in addition to office and storage space.

HOME CBBS History |
Chinet -- Public Access since 1982 |
What IS Chinet?It all started in 1978 when Randy Suess and Ward Christensen created the world's first computer bulletin board system - "CBBS". As the years went by, Randy became interested in Unix systems, and in 1982 he created the world's first public-access Unix system, then called "wlcrjs". Two years later it became Chinet. It supported UUCP e-mail and Usenet "netnews" (fed from ihnp4). It ran on one of the earliest Compaq "portable" with a 4 MHz 8088 processor, 640k of memory, and a 10 meg hard drive. Near this time, Chinet also started using a program called "picospan" to replace its bbs software. Eventually, "yapp" (Yet Another Picospan Program) replaced picospan and remained in use until Chinet's migration from Unix shell-based access to web based interfaces in the late 90's. Many believe that yapp is still one of the best computer conferencing systems around. In the early days of Chinet, the Internet was still a research tool, not available to the general public. If you wanted e-mail and newsgroups, you didn't get an account from an ISP, you got an account on either a university computer or a system like Chinet. E-mail and newsgroup postings were relayed from one computer to the next (via UUCP), mostly at night, mostly over regular telephone lines at 1200 or 2400 BAUD. It was rare indeed that your e-mail would cross a gateway and pass through the then-young Internet. In the late 80's, Chinet had between 300 and 600 active users. It sported 12 dialup ports (remember, this was Randy's hobby; most of those users were non-paying "guests") and was considered one of the main Chicago area hubs. Eventually, the UUCP model became obsolete. More and more companies started getting direct Internet access, and finally cheap ISPs came into existence. Use of Chinet's dial-up ports started to shrink, especially when the Chicago-area phone company did away with "call-pak" (which meant that you had to start paying for connect time by the minute). Also, e-mail/news users didn't need Chinet any more since their ISPs supplied those functions. In May, 1996, a fire at Chinet HQ almost put Chinet out of business for good. But you know what they say ... "you can't keep a down man good." Still open to the public, Chinet is now entirely web-based, running Simple Machines Forum software on a Debian GNU/Linux system. |

What Our Customers Say
Darbee Plemmons
We were referred to marble com by our contractor and I can say with confidence that it was the right choice. First of all, the selection there is amazing, we had a tight budget and we still had few dozen options on colors in granite, where other places would give us 3 or 4. Second they came out to measure the day after our cabinets went in and installed in 2 days. If you're looking for good quality of work, great selection and fast turn around this is the place for you.
Rene Wolfe
I'm very happy we decided to go with marble com instead of others. They do all the cutting and polishing on the spot, and their pennsylvania granite installers come to do the job, it's much easier than trying to track down contractors. Not to mention their prices of granite pa were lower and they do the work much faster.
Eugene Medina
After getting few other quotes we ultimately ended up back where we started, with excellent service, best price and biggest selection. When you walk around looking at all the materials they have, it's easily the most you'll find anywhere in the area. Their installers were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Great place to get countertops.
Gregory Alexander
Great company to work with if you are looking for granite countertops pa. We have done numerous projects with marble com, both large and small in scale and they always come through. When you're looking for quality craftsmanship and want to stay within your budget, pay them a visit and you will not be disappointed.

Ernest Borgnine, Oscar-Winning Actor, Dead at 95
Ernest Borgnine, the iconic movie and television actor, passed away on Sunday. His spokesman Harry Flynn told The Associated Press that Borgnine died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center surrounded by his family.
Many will remember him for his iconic role of Marty Piletti in the 1955 film 'Marty,' which not only won over the nation's heart but also won him an Academy Award for Best Actor. This was such a change for Borgnine, who at the time was used to playing a lot of villainous-type role, like in 'Bad Day at Black Rock' and 'From Here to Eternity,' to name two.
For those of you a little too young to remember those classic movies, you'll probably recognize his voice as the Mermaid Man from 'Spongebob Squarepants.' Reflecting back on that role in his life, Borgnine had said it was his only acting gig that the younger generations could identify (check out the video below).
Originally named Ermes Effron Borgnino, Borgnine didn't start acting until after his service in the US Navy during World War II when his mother, an Italian immigrant, suggested it to him. Though he began his career in theater, he moved to the big screen around 1951, taking on upwards of 200 projects throughout his lifetime. Aside from his Oscar achievement, he was also up for a few Emmys later on in life — one for his guest-starring role on 'ER' — as well as winning the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actor's Guild in 2010.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Thursday that patenting natural human genetic material must stop. But the court also ruled that synthetically produced DNA is fair. The decision was prompted by patents on a gene test for breast cancer which was issued to Myriad Genetics of Salt Lake City. We're joined now in our studio by Arthur Caplan, who's head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU's Langone Medical Center. Thanks very much for being with us.
ARTHUR CAPLAN: Thanks for having me.
SIMON: What do you think this ruling means for Myriad Genetics and other biotech companies?
CAPLAN: Well, for Myriad, it means less than you might think because their patent was going to run out in another year. For other genetic testing companies that have sort of presumed we own the intellectual property, we see a gene sequence, we know that it associates with a disease, the decision is not good news. They're going to lose their monopoly practice, prices will drop, competition will enter the genetic testing market. So, I think that's good for patients, not so good for the industry.
SIMON: So, what's your general reaction to the Supreme Court's decision?
CAPLAN: I think it's way, way, way overdue. It's the correct decision. You know, to make a metaphor, it is as if Galileo Galilee had a telescope and looked up and saw the moons of Jupiter and said I'm patenting those. I discovered them. You don't get patents for discovery. You get publications. In my world, you get tenure. You might even get a Nobel Prize if it's a really interesting discovery, but you don't get a patent. And what the Supreme Court basically did was it said, look, these genes just exist. You're finding their function, you're understanding their correlation in terms of what a misprint causes a disease. But you didn't do anything. You just found what's out there. So, I think the decision is sound.
SIMON: Even if it's philosophically sound, did - if I might put it this way - monetizing discoveries provide incentive for new and better discoveries?
CAPLAN: It did. There's no doubt that people said, look, it's kind of like the Oklahoma land rush. We're going to rush out over the human genome, stake our claims, have patent protection. It gives us an incentive to go out there and look through the vast number of genes that make up us and figure out whether we can find disease correlations and so on. That said, that was kind of the old model, Scott. The newer way to go at this is to change those genes - try to insert a gene, alter a gene.
SIMON: This is the synthetic material.
CAPLAN: That's the synthetic side. And that's where the action is now. It's not, you know, the companies that were out there doing what I'm calling the turf grabs across the genome, in a way I think their work is over and the action is going to be on the synthetic side.
SIMON: Which I think to repeat - what we said when introducing you - that's legally fine, right?
CAPLAN: That's legally fine. The court made a point of saying if you change genes, alter genes, insert genes or put chemicals around genes to make them do something different or even thaw out certain genes so that you can get a cleaner understanding of what the key genetic components are - all patentable, all fine. And I would agree with that.
SIMON: I guess I didn't understand until I read about the decision, as we read about it this week, the degree to which, I guess it's been called, patent trolling has been going on.
CAPLAN: It's a big problem, because people will do two things: they will claim the patent, not really understanding fully what those genes do and just try to fend off anybody else from coming into that territory. And then there are people who sort of go around and say, you know, I'm going to buy that patent and block anybody from being able to enter research in this area unless you pay me a pretty good size fee. Not good for patients, not good for genetic testing - pretty good for entrepreneurs who get - and lawyers who get involved in that kind of trolling business.
SIMON: If you foresee - and a lot of people do - that synthetically produced DNA is going to be maybe in a better position to take off now, surely there are ethical implications for that, too.
CAPLAN: Oh, there are huge ones. One interesting angle here is, you know, we love our own genes. We're humans; we think our genes must be the best, we're at the top of the food chain of evolution. But synthetic biology has been working at the microbe level. There are simpler systems. They're easier to alter. This court decision is not restricted to human genes. That is patents have been taken out on the plants, on microbes, on animals. All of that moves into flex a little bit too. In the synthetic field, I think what we're seeing is a lot of activity of people trying to insert genes into a virus to say make proteins that would be useful medically, alter a virus to see whether it could act like a vaccine and attack, say, Ebola or something that got into us, or the flu. And in other areas, you're seeing people engineer viruses and bacteria to try and do things like suck pollution out of the ocean waters and so on. So, a big area of activity but probably not where you might think. It's not the humans that are the target so much as the microbes.
SIMON: Arthur Caplan. Head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU's Langone Medical Center. Thanks very much for joining us, Art.
CAPLAN: Thanks very much for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Simeon. 1The second lot fell to Simeon. The heritage of the tribe of Simeonites by their clans lay within that of the Judahites. 2a For their heritage they received Beer-sheba, Shema, Moladah, 3Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem, 4Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, 5Ziklag, Bethmar-caboth, Hazar-susah, 6Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages. 7Also Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages, 8besides all the villages around these cities as far as Baalath-beer (that is, Ramoth-negeb). This was the heritage of the tribe of the Simeonites by their clans. 9This heritage of the Simeonites was within the confines of the Judahites; for since the portion of the latter was too large for them, the Simeonites obtained their heritage within it.
Zebulun. 10* The third lot fell to the Zebulunites by their clans. The boundary of their heritage was at Sarid. 11Their boundary went up west and through Mareal, reaching Dabbesheth and the wadi that is near Jokneam. 12From Sarid eastward it ran to the district of Chisloth-tabor, on to Daberath, and up to Japhia. 13From there it continued eastward to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin, extended to Rimmon, and turned to Neah. 14Skirting north of Hannathon, the boundary ended at the valley of Iphtahel. 15Thus, with Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem, there were twelve cities and their villages. 16This was the heritage of the Zebulunites by their clans, these cities and their villages.
Issachar. 17* The fourth lot fell to Issachar. The territory of the Issacharites by their clans 18included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem, 19Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath, 20Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez, 21Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez. 22The boundary reached Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, ending at the Jordan: sixteen cities and their villages. 23This was the heritage of the Issacharites by their clans, these cities and their villages.
Asher. 24* The fifth lot fell to the Asherites by their clans. 25Their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, 26Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal, and reached Carmel on the west, and Shihor-libnath. 27In the other direction, it ran eastward of Beth-dagon, reached Zebulun and the valley of Iphtahel; then north of Beth-emek and Neiel, it extended northward to Cabul, 28Ebron, Rehob,b Hammon, and Kanah, near Greater Sidon. 29Then the boundary turned back to Ramah and to the fortress city of Tyre; thence it cut back to Hosah and ended at the sea. Thus, with Mahalab, Achzib, 30Ummah, Acco, Aphek, and Rehob, there were twenty-two cities and their villages. 31This was the heritage of the tribe of the Asherites by their clans, these cities and their villages.
Naphtali. 32* The sixth lot fell to the Naphtalites. 33Their boundary extended from Heleph, from the oak at Zaanannim, including Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, to Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan. 34In the opposite direction, westerly, it ran through Aznoth-tabor and from there extended to Hukkok; it reached Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and the Jordan on the east. 35The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, 36Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, 37Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor, 38Yiron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh;c nineteen cities and their villages. 39This was the heritage of the tribe of the Naphtalites by their clans, these cities and their villages.
Dan. 40* The seventh lot fell to the tribe of Danites by their clans. 41Their heritage was the territory of Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, 42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,d 43Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44Eltekoh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, 46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the coast at Joppa. 47e But the territory of the Danites was too small for them; so the Danites marched up and attacked Leshem,* which they captured and put to the sword. Once they had taken possession of Leshem, they dwelt there and named it after their ancestor Dan. 48This was the heritage of the tribe of the Danites by their clans, these cities and their villages.
Joshua's City. 49When the last of them had received the portions of the land they were to inherit, the Israelites assigned a heritage in their midst to Joshua, son of Nun. 50According to the command of the LORD, they gave him the city he requested, Timnah-serahf in the mountain region of Ephraim. He rebuilt the city and made it his home.
51These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest, Joshua, son of Nun, and the heads of families in the tribes of the Israelites apportioned by lot in the presence of the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting in Shiloh. Thus they finished dividing the land.
* [19:10–16] Zebulun's territory was in the central section of the Jezreel Valley and of southern Galilee; it was bounded on the south by Manasseh, on the southeast by Issachar, on the northeast and north by Naphtali, and on the west by Asher. The site of the later city of Nazareth was within its borders. Bethlehem of Zebulun was, of course, distinct from the city of the same name in Judah. Twelve cities: apparently seven of the names are missing from v. 15, unless some of the places mentioned in vv. 12–14 are to be included in the number.
* [19:17–23] Issachar's land was on the eastern watershed of the Jezreel Valley, but also included the southeastern end of the Galilean mountains. It was surrounded by Manasseh on the south and east, by Naphtali on the north, and by Zebulun on the west. Jezreel (v. 18) dominated the valley to which it gave its name, the later form of which was Esdraelon.
* [19:24–31] Asher inherited the western slope of the Galilean hills as far as the Mediterranean, with Manasseh to the south, Zebulun and Naphtali to the east, and Phoenicia to the north.
* [19:32–39] Naphtali received eastern Galilee; Asher was to the west and Zebulun and Issachar were to the south, while the upper Jordan and Mount Hermon formed the eastern border. Part of the tribe of Dan later on occupied the northern extremity of Naphtali's lands, at the sources of the Jordan (v. 47).
* [19:40–46] The original territory of Dan was a small enclave between Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and the Philistines.
* [19:47] Leshem: called Laish in Jgs 18, where the story of the migration of the Danites is told at greater length.
a. [19:2–8] 1 Chr 4:28–33.

Hearing loss has a lot of different causes and manifestations. It can be sudden or gradual. It can occur in one ear or both ears. It can be temporary or permanent. It happens to people of all ages and is associated with the aging process. Before discussing causes and treatments for hearing loss, it is important to understand how hearing works.
How We Hear
There are three sections of the ear: the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Each section helps move sound through the process of hearing. When a sound occurs, the outer ear feeds it through the ear canal to the eardrum. The noise causes the eardrum to vibrate. This, in turn, causes three little bones inside the middle ear (malleus, incus, stapes) to move. That movement travels into the inner ear (cochlea), where it makes tiny little hairs move in a fluid. These hairs convert the movement to auditory signals, which are then transmitted to the brain to register the sound.
Causes of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss occurs when sound is blocked in any of the three areas of the ear. The most common cause of hearing loss — and one of the most preventable — is exposure to loud noises. Infections, both of the ear or elsewhere in the body, are also a major contributor to hearing loss.
- In the Outer Ear: Earwax build-up, infections that cause swelling, a growth in the ear canal, injury or birth defects can restrict hearing in the outer ear.
- In the Middle Ear: Fluid build-up is responsible for the most common infections and blockages in the middle ear. Fluid in the middle ear prevents the bones from processing sounds properly. Tumors, both benign and malignant, can also result in hearing loss in the middle ear.
- In the Inner Ear: The natural process of aging diminishes hearing from damage to the cochlea (mechanism for converting sound vibrations to brain signals), vestibular labyrinth (which regulates balance), or the acoustic nerve (nerve that sends sound signals to the brain). Additionally, inner ear infections, Meniere's disease and other nerve-related problems contribute to hearing loss in the inner ear.
Other causes of hearing loss include:
- Presbycusis: Age-related hearing loss, such as having difficulty hearing in noisy places, having trouble understanding what people are saying or not registering softer sounds.
- Heredity and Genetic Causes: There is a wide variety of diseases and syndromes that are either genetic or hereditary that can cause hearing loss. Some, like rubella (German measles) occur when a pregnant mother has the disease, which causes hearing loss in the baby. Other, rarer types of hereditary and genetic causes include CHARGE Syndrome, Connexin 26 disorder, Goldenhar Syndrome,Treacher Collins Syndrome, Usher Syndrome, Waardenburg Syndrome and otosclerosis (growth of spongy bone tissue in the middle ear).
Most causes of outer ear hearing loss can be remedied. But problems of the middle and inner ear can lead to permanent hearing loss, which is why it is important to seek medical attention quickly if you are experiencing a problem hearing.
Types of Hearing Loss
There are five types of hearing loss:
- Conductive hearing loss: Caused by conditions that block the transmission of sound through the outer ear and eardrum to the middle ear.
- Sensorineural hearing loss: Inner ear damage that occurs as part of the natural process of aging.
- Mixed hearing loss: Mixed hearing loss refers to people who have both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Most people experience more than one type of hearing loss.
- Central hearing loss: This occurs when the central nervous system fails to send a readable signal to the brain, which is called a central auditory processing disorder. People with central hearing loss generally can hear all sounds, but can't separate or process them.
Hearing loss is measured in four degrees: mild, moderate, severe or profound. The degree of hearing loss drives the selection of the best form of treatment on a case-by-case basis.
Hearing Loss Treatments
The location, type and degree of hearing loss impact the choice of treatments for any hearing problem. The most common treatment options include:
- Antibiotics, decongestants and pain medication to overcome ear infections
- Myringotomy, a piercing of the eardrum to allow for fluids to drain out of the outer ear
- Insertion of a tube into the Eustachian tube (part of the anatomy that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat) to keep it open and allow for normal fluid drainage. This technique may be recommended for people who get frequent ear infections.
- Hearing aids
- Surgery to remove benign or malignant tumors or correct bone- or nerve-related problems
If you experience sudden or prolonged hearing loss with dizziness, fever or pain, please contact our office right away and schedule an appointment with one of our otolaryngologists. We'll conduct a physical examination as well as a hearing test to determine the type and severity of your hearing loss. We'll then recommend the best treatment.

If your dad's idea of a good time is sitting quietly in his armchair with a good book or crossword puzzle, conventional Father's Day gifts probably aren't going to fly.
But there are plenty of gift options out there for bookworm dads.
Let's start with books. If your dad is into them, you probably know what kind he likes. Ask Mom if he's hinted about wanting any particular books; otherwise, take a risk by picking something from USA Today's list of this week's top 150 best-sellers or from the New York Times' book reviews.
Or get Dad an award-winning book. Barnes & Noble has lists of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, Nobel Prize and more.
If you're not comfortable picking out a book, a gift card to his favorite bookstore will never go to waste.
Magazine subscriptions -- both print and online -- are another hot gift idea for the well-read dad. The obvious choices are Time and Newsweek, but don't forget such gems as Slate, BusinessWeek, and Wired News.
If your dad is a wordsmith, a subscription to the New York Times for its daily crossword puzzles would show you really "get" his hobby. An online subscription would allow him to compete against other puzzlers or against the clock.
Other ideas for a crossword-puzzle addict would be a handheld computerized thesaurus or a good reference book, like the "Dictionary of Cultural Literacy.
"Of course, every guy is different. Remember, the best gifts come from the heart. Dad will love that you remembered him and made an effort.

Ark Console Guide
Before a player can enter ANY command, they must first make sure they have the right permissions on the server they are playing on. This information can be found in the server's settings or by using an admin password.
In older versions of the game, there was an admin command bar at the top of the start menu. However, after recent updates (v.757 on Xbox One and v.510.3 on PS4), the admin command bar can only be accessed by entering a combination of keys at the same time in the start menu.
- Open the start menu.
- Now you need to bring up the command bar. Depending on your console, do the following:
- PC – Tab key (if using keyboard and mouse on a console this will also work)
- PS4 – L1, R1, Square, and Triangle (while in the pause menu)
- Xbox One – LB, RB, X, and Y (while in the pause menu)
- You can now enter ARK commands in the console. This is an example of typing the "showmyadminmanager" command.
- After typing that command, press the "Enter" key on a PC or press the "ADMIN COMMAND" option on a game console to run that.
- enablecheats <adminpassword> – This command is required if a player needs to use the ARK server admin password to gain administrator privileges.
