tsêlâ', 'side, rib' c"lF) (Strong's #6763)
"And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man." (Gen. 2:21-2, NKJV)
The word c"lF) tsêlâ' "side, rib" (Strong's #6763, x41) comes from the verb cFlA) tsâla' "to curve, limp, be lame, incline to one side" (Strong's #6760, x4) in the AV translated each time by "halt" by other versions as "limp, lame".
The noun c"lF) tsêlâ' is used frequently in Exodus (x18) to describe the opposing sides of the Ark of the Covenant, the sides of the tabernacle and of the Altar (e.g., Exodus 25:12; 26:20; 27:7 etc). On a few of these occasions it is used in parallel with a more common word cAd tsadh for "side" (Strong's #6654, x33) in Exodus 30:4; 37:27. Again it is used throughout Ezekiel 41 vv5-9,11,26 for the side-chambers of the temple and similarly in I Kings 6:5,8,15,16,34; 7:3.
These temple references account for 90% of all its uses. In one of them, I Kings 6:34, it refers to two door panels, leaves or sides, "two turning leaves for one door, two leaves for the other". In the Hebrew the first "leaves" is c"lF) tsêlâ' and the second qElA) qela' "hanging, sling" (Strong's #7050, x22). It is possible given the similar spelling and only a different initial letter that the latter is a misprint for the former particularly since the Greek translates both identically and a similar passage, Ezekiel 41:24, does not use distinct words either. One Hebrew manuscript supports this too.
Apart from these holy building references and the Creation story instance we find it in Job 18:12 "...destruction is ready at his side." and in 2 Samuel 16:13, where it is used with hFr hâr "hill, mountain" (Strong's #2022, x546) and is consistently translated as "hillside" in Bible versions, not "hill-rib".
Returning to Genesis 2:21-22, the first instance of c"lF) tsêlâ', it is clear that it is not translated by "rib" elsewhere, so why here? In addition, more than a rib must have been taken for Adam to declare "this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh" (v23). The Greek Septuagint version uses pleura pleura, which in Homer, Hesiod and Herodotus means side not rib, as it does in the New Testament.
Many Jewish, Christian and Greek writings regarded the first creation as a "male and female" (Gen. 1:27) hermaphroditic androgyne being. Not only does Plato's Symposium describe the separation of a two-halved bi-gendered being at creation but that is similar to the understanding of the Jew Philo, contemporary of the NT, and many well regarded Jewish sources in the Midrash, Talmud, and that of Maimonides, Rashi etc. The Jerusalem Targum, Latin Vulgate and Syriac bible versions all render c"lF) tsêlâ' as "side" not "rib" in Genesis 2.
Saint Augustine wrote, "If God had meant woman to rule over man he would have taken her out of Adam's head. Had he designed her to be his slave, he would have taken her out of his feet. But God took woman out of man's side, for he made her to be a helpmeet and an equal to him."

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? If you are not sure, a great way to get ready is to look great in lingerie! We are here to help you look great with four lingerie tips for Valentine's Day. Read below to get started.
Buy For Comfort
When picking out sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day, make sure it is both comfortable and sexy. If you are not comfortable in your lingerie, it is hard to be sexy no matter how sexy you look in your lingerie. You cannot flaunt your sexy lingerie if you are not comfortable in it. To accomplish being sexy while being comfortable, pick a lingerie style that is suited for your body figure. Pick a color you enjoy wearing.
Here are just a few sexy lingerie numbers that are also comfortable:
Negligee. A negligee is sexy in any color. It can cover your tummy and your behind, yet still allow you to be sexy. It is recommended to wear dark colors, such as black, to slim your figure down. If you prefer a Camisole, it is just as flattering and comfortable.
Silk Robe. If you prefer, you can wear a silk robe. A silk robe can be used not only for Valentine's Day sexy-fun but you can use it when you do your hair or makeup for a fun night out in the town.
Wear a Chantelle Bra. This kind of bra is beautiful and feminine. The Chantelle Bra is also very comfortable with its smooth cup. Wear it with a pair of boy shorts. Do not forget to get a manicure and pedicure.
Exercise the Day of Valentine's Day
If you exercise 30 minutes or more the day of Valentine's Day, you will make your muscles look leaner and more toned a few hours after your workout. Oh, and do not forget to give your Valentine plenty of Tender-loving-care (TLC).
So, what are you waiting for? Find your sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day today!

A Kentucky man who failed to make pay nearly $250,000 in federal employment taxes for his workers must make restitution and spend a month in prison.
Christopher Hutchinson of Ashland, Ky. owned and operated at least 10 different electrical and security businesses in the Huntington and Ashland areas, including Peck Security Systems and ICE Electrical Co., from 1990 to 2012, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said.
In October, Hutchinson admitted he ignored a federal law that requires employers to collect taxes from the wages of their employees and pay those taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.
Hutchinson will also spend three months in a halfway house after his release from prison, Goodwin said.
The Internal Revenue Service conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Erik S. Goes handled the prosecution, assisted by Charles Edgar with the U.S. Department of Justice, Tax Division. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers.

Hydraulic and air brakes are common across Europe. Typically, farmers haul all of their crop with a tractor and trailer combination from the field and over the road. This has led to tractors and trailers being outfitted with advanced braking systems, and Krone has introduced a new braking systems inspired by railway systems.

Well it didn't hold up good
from Trenton Mi.
Well I posted you get what you pay for and that's the case here I posted when we got it I would pass on how it works out well did a good job on empty oil cans then we crushed about 20 oil filters then the ram folded to the side and tore the threads out of it I had to spend most of the day fixing it I had to do a lot of beefing up on it to make it work as it should I wouldn't plan on using it as it sits right out of the box it won't hold up.

Kansas City Chiefs fans can probably stop worrying about the Oakland Raiders drafting QB Geno Smith.
According to multiple reports, the Seattle Seahawks are about to send FLynn to the "Black Hole" to be the new QB of the Oakland
Faiders Raiders.
From Pro Football Talk:
The Seahawks are deep in talks with Raiders on a Flynn trade, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The last holdup appears to be that the Raiders want to take one more shot at trying to convince Carson Palmer to take a pay cut and stick around on a revised contract.
But Palmer is reportedly dead set against taking less from the Raiders, so it will apparently be Flynn who's leading the Silver and Black in 2013.
In fact, the Flynn deal is close enough to done that some of Flynn's teammates in Seattle are already saying goodbye. Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin wrote on Twitter, "Wishing Flynn best in Oakland. Excited for his opportunity. Great QB, even better man."
The Raiders continue to move on from the Al Davis era. It's been and likely is going to continue to be, painful, but Oakland is doing the right thing cutting bad apples, bad contracts and bad players.
Palmer is still a decent QB in my opinion but I can see why the new regime kind of wants to start over.
I have no idea if Flynn will work out in Oakland but I am glad that this likely means that Geno Smith (who I think will be an NFL success) won't land in the AFC West.
What do you think, Addicts? Is the Raiders trading for Flynn a smart play?

- My ten month old son is in love with Kid Rocks song "Born Free"!! Every time it comes on TV or in the car he starts screaming and gets all excited!! He truly loves that song!!! leadmanchelsiann
- Such a great song. brennapeyton
- People who don't give this song a chance because KR is on it will truly be missing a great song. I predict it will be bigger than KR's All Summer Long. brennapeyton
- The mix, tone, pitch, and instruments are perfect for both KR's and McGraw's vocals. Country fans will argue, but McGraw is NOT carrying KR in this song. Kid's talent and versatility shine like a brand new candy apple Cadillac. brennapeyton
- I'm already playing it on repeat. laylow9

Android's Death Is Grossly Exaggerated
Austin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
An article that was recently published begins with the attention-getting banner:
"Android is in its death throes. Well, this may be overstating a bit, but I do believe that the Smartphone OS landscape will be very different in 4 years, and that Android OS, by Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) will be the loser."
It is attention grabbing for sure, but totally off the mark. As it stands, Android is taking market share away from everyone -- including Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The author continues claiming:
"My basic thesis is that Windows Phone 8 (WP8) from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and BlackBerry 10 from Research in Motion (NASDAQ: BBRY) will take massive market share from Android."
"The problem herein is that Android has yet to put a strong contender into the tablet field to challenge the iPad's dominance. While there is nothing lacking in the Amazon Kindle Fire (it's a fine machine) --but no rational person realistically equates a Kindle Fire to an iPad. The size, performance, and features of the iPad put the KF to shame. New on the market, there is even an "iPad mini" a contender in the smaller-sized, lower-priced category."
While the claims make for rather interesting storytelling, they have no basis in fact or reality. Seriously? "Massive" market share going to Microsoft and Blackberry? No contender to the iPad? A quick glance at market share growth states otherwise. In this article we will cover what drives growth and we will provide an update on the market share for tablets and smart phones.
Price is the main driver of growth
For consumers, the main drivers for any device purchased are: (1) Affordability (2) Applications and (3) Innovation. For developers, the total user base along with market share growth is the primary concern. A larger market means more potential profit. Think like a developer. Would you really develop your application for a market that is virtually non-existent, like Microsoft or Blackberry, when you could be making your application for Android or iOS? It is just not logical (in most cases) to develop for the niche markets.
(Goldman report on consumer switching preferences p35)
Market share
Android by Google is taking a bite out of Apple on multiple fronts and among multiple product lines: Ultimately this will lead to Apple losing its zenith in the long term (recall the infamous Mac vs PC wars of the 1980's).
Apple, indeed, has a history of making fine products that are very expensive and proprietary -- only to give the market away to the competition. The problem Apple is facing currently is much like the same problem they encountered during the Operating System wars of the 1980's - 1990's, (i.e., they produced a far superior product that was light years ahead of the competition, yet they blundered by overcharging). This allowed a horde of inferior "affordable" and "good enough" products such as Microsoft's Windows along with the legions of IBM-compatible clone makers like Hewlett-Packard and Dell to overtake Apple. Now we see Apple repeating its past mistakes...but this time with Android.
Apple resides in its ivory, expensive, iPad castle with its moats while the unwashed masses are outside armed with the legion of cheaper Google Droids, and Amazon Kindle Fires. Even the odd Microsoft Surface is showing up to the siege. The legions are taking their toll as Apple's market share is shrinking.
Tablet market share
According to Strategy Analytics Apple's share has shrank from 64.5% to 56.7% while Android has leaped from 29.2% to 41.3%
"Shipments of Android tablets surged to a new high in the third quarter of 2012, accounting for 41% of all tablets shipped. Neil Mawston, Strategy Analytics' executive director, says that there's no one Android tablet responsible for the surge, which is more due to a large influx of devices from a wide variety of vendors including Asus, Samsung and Nook." Shipments of Apple's iPad lineup, meanwhile, shrank to 57% of the market"
Apple still has the lead in units sold (for tablets) but its market share is shrinking while Android is growing because of the superior value offered to the consumer. Macworld.com chimes in on value:
"I think the Nexus 7 is the far better value. The difference is still quite clearly in favor of the Nexus 7 when you consider the 16GB models: $199 for the Nexus 7, versus $329 for the iPad mini." and "I find it impossible to recommend the iPad mini, except for two sets of shoppers: people who want an iPad because of the brand's cachet or those who want one because they're already committed to the Apple ecosystem, and in both cases want the least-expensive model they can buy." Otherwise, to me the Nexus 7 is superior to the iPad mini. Its display is better, I can find most of the apps I want or need on Android, and I prefer the open flexibility of the Android ecosystem."
Cheaper tablets
Google and Asus are also rumored to be working on a cheaper Nexus Tablet according to Cnet.com.
"Needless to say, a Nexus 7 priced below $150 and eventually going to $99 would make Google's tablet even more competitively priced against the $329 iPad Mini -- even allowing for the high-quality build that Apple typically achieves with its tablets."
Digitimes.com reports that we might even see some cheaper android tablets launch in January in the Asia and South American markets. We can also see the effects of cheaper androids in Japan as the android based Nexus 7 has taken the lead.
"Based on a survey of 2,400 consumer electronics stores in Japan, Google's Nexus 7 tablet had 44.4 percent of the market versus the iPad's 40.1 percent, according to Nikkei, Japan's largest business daily. The survey was done by market research firm BCN in December."
Smart phone market share
While Apple is taking damage in the tablet wars they are a sinking ship in the smart phone wars according to market share gains. Android smart phone adoption is growing at a rapid pace, according to IDC:
"The Android smartphone operating system was found on three out of every four smartphones shipped during the third quarter of 2012 (3Q12). According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, total Android smartphone shipments worldwide reached 136.0 million units, accounting for 75.0% of the 181.1 million smartphones shipped in 3Q12. The 91.5% year-over-year growth was nearly double the overall market growth rate of 46.4%."
"Android has been one of the primary growth engines of the smartphone market since it was launched in 2008," said Ramon Llamas, research manager, Mobile Phones at IDC. "In every year since then, Android has effectively outpaced the market and taken market share from the competition. In addition, the combination of smartphone vendors, mobile operators, and end-users who have embraced Android has driven shipment volumes higher. Even today, more vendors are introducing their first Android-powered smartphones to market."
(Smart Phone Market Share of 3Q12 Sales)
We can clearly see that Android is growing much quicker than iOS and overall unit shipments are 136 million for Android vs a mere 26.9 million for iOS in 3Q12. The Android Zerg strategy of overwhelming by cheaper "good enough" smart phones is working. Blackberry is floundering at a mere 4.3% of 3Q12 sales share along with -34.7% growth (or lack of). Blackberry's total market share is just a mere 1.6% of the smart phone market. Microsoft is doing much better at 2% sales share but with 140% growth.
Consumer loyalty
Another factor to consider is once Android assimilates a consumer they tend to stick with the brand they know.
(Goldman report on consumer loyalty p33)
When it comes to applications it's a mixed bag. Android is gaining newer applications faster than iOS. This is most likely partly because the qualifications for android applications are lower than Apple's. However Apple apps on average generate 4x more profits. Android is starting to close the gap some, but it has a long ways to go. The thing to remember though is Android is quickly closing the revenue gap -- what happens when the gap is only 3x, 2x, 1x? As more Android devices are sold more users will purchase apps which will drive up revenue and attract yet more android developers.
Google is a stock that sounds expensive at $741 dollars. Just go down the street and mention that it costs $741 and the average Joe's reaction will be a "Wow that's expensive!" but really when you look at the numbers it's not unreasonable. The PEG ratio's about right in line with the average S&P 500 stock. Profits are nice and healthy, but the earnings growth does need some work. Net income however is very healthy at $10.56 billion. Total cash is $44.62 billion compared to $7.90 billion in debt. Personally I would like to see this figure come down some. Google does not pay a dividend... yet.
Apple is facing stiff competition and is in danger of being overwhelmed by the cheaper Android hordes. Much like the 1980's, Apple is dependent upon hardware sales to maintain high gross margins. Yet they are facing competition from Google who can give away the Android OS in order to generate revenue through increased Application sales. The Google strategy of "good enough" with far superior pricing is clearly working according to recent market share gains. For example a Nexus 7 16GB costs $199 vs an Apple Mini 16 GB at $329. The danger to Apple is clear and the stool is wobbling in face of the Android hordes. Apple has however been the focus of several rumors that say that a new cheaper iPhone is in the works. While this should stop the market share losses IF it is cheap enough -- it will also drag down Apples's gross margins. This is not to say that Apple is in any danger of losing the war, but I do see the market share declines continuing.
Blackberry taking over is just a fantasy. No argument is even necessary as the market share data proves they are all but dead. Microsoft will grow some, but we do not see it taking "massive" market share away from anyone. We recommend buying Google for its long term potential and growing market share in tablets and smart phones.

A Sunday of controversy on this edition of Let It Rip Weekend.
First, is being gay a good reason to stay in the country illegally? That's the situation facing local artist Michel Mendy. After recently being shot during a robbery, immigration officials discovered he was in the U.S. illegally. Now he's being held at an ICE detention center where he could be deported to his native Senegal. But Mendy says if he goes back, he could face persecution. That's because he's gay, and Senegal has strict laws against homosexuality. He faces arrest and even death. To debate the issue, Mendy's mentor, Leslie Mathews joined us, along with Tracey Lee from the American Family Association of Michigan. Lee believes being gay isn't a reason to give Mendy asylum.
Next a fiery debate between two outspoken reverends. Rev. CL Bryant (@revclbryant) created a documentary called "Runaway Slave," in which he says the black community has become enslaved by the Democratic Party. He takes on Rev. Charles Williams II (@therevcw) Senior Pastor of the Historic King Solomon Baptist Church of Detroit and President of National Action Network. They clash on so many things, it's better that you watch the videos of their debates. There was so much said, we had to give them two segments of the show! It's a first for Let It Rip Weekend.
If you'd like to see Bryant's documentary for yourself, it's available on DVD, You tube and Hulu. There will also be a showing Monday, May 13th at Port Huron High School's Performing Arts Center at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit this link.

These pants are awesome! Good style, and the removable liner is good too, but the pants are pretty heavy with the liner zipped in. The waist size of the pant is the hip size on the sizing chart. It can be adjusted to be a bit smaller (about 2 inches) using the straps on the sides.

i watch the world burn down
and the questions begin
how much longer can i survive?
as the flames rise
smoke fills my eyes
i break the surface for one last time
somehow i see through lifes lies
now i see the sky
and the light floods my vision
now through open eyes
i realize
how i've sank so very far
how we've grown so much apart
the sky meets my eyes
it gently shows me
all i left behind
so many places ive been
yet all to one destination
like everyday in a life
counting down to execution
you knew what i would become
you know what my mistakes have done
and now that i've gained new vision
i cover my eyes
such a failure
such a disfigured life
now in the midst
of a world up in smoke
my deformities revert
and now the fears of failure
completely shatter
bring back what matters
don't i still know you, lord?
cure these phobias forever
i open my eyes
the flames are gone
and i see the sky
it seems empty now that you're here
you knew what i would become
you know what my mistakes have done
yet your love for me
betrays all failures
it is unending
narrow roads under mossy oaks
life felt so endless
floating on untied shoes and rusted spokes
as i sit here some years later
22 is still so young, they say
and i know life is very good for me
but my bike is gone and the oaks have fallen
and home is so far away
from here
cold thanksgiving week
sitting in forts, surrounded by trees
how brittle but crisp
shapeless but pleasant
was the brown leaf canvas
on which our young lives were painted
with colors we thought would never fade
5 years ago this fall
we sat in a brick shrouded booth
after twenty-four hours of paintball
and it turns out we had to grow up after all
the palm trees rustle in the wind
crickets chirp
fish are splashing
and the colors aren't as bright as you may think
but i wouldn't trade this evening site for anything
because here i feel home
hello, old statue
i always knew if it wasn't me it'd be you
standing tall with a smile
looking towards such a happy future
but you always knew
and it's been ages since i built you
to be a monument to all i would do
i always thought
it's been so long since i built you
to be a milestone to all i would do
i always thought
and the precious stones you're made of
mined from a shallow brook
i saved them for you and spared goliath
i chiseled them into a smile of my likeness
was it always so blemished?
now i stand tall with that weathered smile
looking towards such a happy future
i'll remain unmoving as goliath roams free
i always knew this would be me
it will always be
who can turn stone to living flesh?

It is great to obtain new inspiration for dishes in addition to straightforward approaches to fix them. We cooked this dish for the evening meal a couple of days ago. All the family liked it, most definitely I'll be offering it regularly from now on.

NEW YORK (PIX11)—While playing with his son at a local gym, Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain suffered a serious ankle injury and was rushed into surgery, team officials said Friday.
Chamberlain, who had emergency surgery Thursday evening, is said to have suffered an open dislocation of his right ankle which most likely fractured as well.
"We're worried about him as an individual right now."
The injury will most likely push back Chamberlain's return to the bullpen which was slated for June or July.

As a kid my very favorite treat was an occasional 6 oz. serving of custard from the Jewish deli on the corner. They may have cost 5 cents at the time I think you got a penny back for returning the glass serving container. Drinking my coffee on the veranda today and was thinking somma that chilled (not frozen!) custard would sure taste good. Not many Jewish delis here in the hinterlands of Indiana, but was wondering if anyone here might have a killer recipe to share.
I hope it is not hard to duplicate as I need a custard fix pronto.

United World Colleges (or UWC) is an education movenment comprising 14 international schools and colleges, national committees in more than 140 countries, and a series of short educational programmes. Students are selected from around the globe based on their merit and potential. UWC schools, colleges and national committees offer scholarship and bursary schemes as well as accepting a significant number of fee-paying students.
The UWC international organisation is a British-based foundation and has 14 schools and colleges in Canada, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Norway, Singapore, Swaziland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Armenia, Costa Rica, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands; national committees in more than 140 countries; a portfolio of short programmes running in numerous countries; a network of more than 50,000 alumni from more than 181 countries,[1] and an International Office in London.
Nine UWC colleges teach the International Baccalaureate, with three schools in Singapore, the Netherlands and Swaziland which, on top of the IB, also teach a pre-16 syllabus to younger students. The now-closed UWC vocational college in Venezuela accepted students at tertiary level and taught a Higher Diploma in Farm Administration. Each UWC typically comprises between 200 and 300 students from about 85 countries.
The first UWC college, the United World College of the Atlantic, located in a 12th Century castle set in 90 hectares of grounds in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, United Kingdom, was founded in 1962 with the initiative of Kurt Hahn, a German educationalist who had previously founded Schule Schloss Salem in Germany, Gordonstoun in Scotland, and the Outward Bound movement; the castle was gifted to UWC by Antonin Besse II, the son of Sir Antonin Besse. Kurt Hahn's vision was based on his post-war experience at the NATO Defence College, where he had observed discussion and collaboration between former enemies. He wanted to transmit a spirit of mutual understanding to young people to help them overcome prejudice and antagonism through living and working together.
Hahn envisaged a college educating boys and girls of age 16 to 20. The selection would be based on personal motivation and potential, regardless of any social, economic or cultural factors. A scholarship programme would facilitate recruitment of young people from different economic backgrounds.[2] The project was realised in 1962 with the inauguration of Atlantic College in Wales.
There are currently 14 colleges in UWC movement. UWC Simón Bolivar was a member of the movement until its closing. The opening date for each college is given for each below:
- United World College of the Atlantic (Llantwit Major, United Kingdom) – 1962,
- United World College of South East Asia (Singapore) – 1971, full member of UWC in 1975, East Campus established 2008
- Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific (Victoria, Canada) – 1974,[3]
- Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa (Mbabane, Swaziland) – 1963, joined UWC in 1981,
- Armand Hammer United World College of the American West (Montezuma, New Mexico, USA) – 1982,
- United World College of the Adriatic (Duino, Italy) – 1982,
- Simón Bolívar United World College of Agriculture (Ciudad Bolivia, Venezuela) – 1986, joined UWC in 1987, closed as of 2012,
- Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (Wu Kai Sha, Hong Kong) – 1992,
- Red Cross Nordic United World College (Flekke, Norway) – 1995,
- Mahindra United World College of India (Village Khubavali, India) – 1997,
- United World College Costa Rica (Santa Ana, Costa Rica) – 2000, joined UWC in 2006,
- United World College in Mostar (Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2006,
- United World College Maastricht (Maastricht, Netherlands), 1984, joined UWC in 2009,
Two new colleges are scheduled to opened in September, 2014:
- Robert Bosch United World College (Freiburg, Germany), 2014,
- United World College Dilijan (Dilijan, Armenia), 2014.
The UWC movement presidents have included Lord Mountbatten (1967-1978), Prince Charles (1978- 1995), Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan (1995–present). Former South African President Nelson Mandela was the honorary president of UWC from 1999 until his death in December 2013.
The philosophy of the schools is in accordance with a thought from Nobel Peace Prize laureate Lester B. Pearson: "How can there be peace without people understanding each other; and how can this be if they don't know each other?"
|Part of a series on the
International Baccalaureate
UWC schools and colleges offer two years of pre-university education (with the exception of the Simón Bolívar United World College of Agriculture in Venezuela which offered an agricultural diploma) and United World College of South East Asia in Singapore which offers kindergarten through grade 12 on its two campuses. After graduation an UWC alumni are holders of the International Baccalaureate Diploma, a high school diploma recognised worldwide. The International Baccalaureate has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, while its Examinations Office is in Cardiff, United Kingdom, in part due to the influence of nearby United World College of the Atlantic in its early development.
The three working languages of the International Baccalaureate are English, French and Spanish. Ten of the twelve UWC schools and colleges use English as the main language of teaching and communication. UWC of the Adriatic in Italy and the Red Cross Nordic UWC in Norway require that all students study Italian and Norwegian respectively in order to facilitate their relationship with the local populations. The teaching in the Simón Bolívar United World College of Agriculture in Venezuela was in Spanish, with English language classes. That college was attended by slightly older students and offered a diploma in agricultural administration.
UWC students are eligible, after graduation, to participate in the Shelby Davis Scholarship programme, which funds undergraduate study (based on need) for UWC students at 91 universities in the United States.[4]
The CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) programme – one of the requirements of the IB Diploma – is a part of UWC system. CAS and the IB programme have their roots at the United World College of the Atlantic. During the creation of the IB programme, the academic and social lives of students at Atlantic College were taken as examples.
Special activities at UWC schools and colleges include the Coral Monitoring Service at Li Po Chun United World College and the student-run kitchen garden at United World College of the Atlantic. At Mahindra United World College of India students fight fires in order to protect the school's local biodiversity reserve. At the United World College in Mostar the CAS Program contributes to the restoration of the divided post-conflict Mostar society. At the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West students can take part in the Bartos Institute for Constructive Engagement of Conflict, Wilderness First Aid certification course or engage in Southwest Studies exploring New Mexico's local treasures.
Entry into a UWC school or college is based on a students' commitment to UWC values and how suited they are to champion UWC's mission. Many UWC students are awarded scholarships directly from the school or college or through the national committee system. UWC national committees are located in roughly 140 countries, some are run completely by volunteers, others have staff.
Applicants for UWC scholarships are interviewed by national committees, all of which have a slightly different system but are unified by the UWC mission and values. In Egypt, for example, the places are offered on the basis of a system of national competitions and specialised interviews, whereas in Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany and Italy shortlisted applicants attend a two-day residential with an interview, games and debates. In other countries, such as Hong Kong and Colombia, applicants are invited to attend a day-camp named "Challenge Day" where they engage in activities such as debate, learning a new language, and group games. Shortlisted applicants then attend a final interview before gaining admission.

- 2 time did not disappointOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/21/2014This was the 2nd time we came with the same group and we all had the same wonderful experience as the first time. I think this will be our spot to celebrate our girls birthday brunches.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014The Dandelion is one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia. I love going here!Special Features:
- We recommendcarolegVIPDined on 9/20/2014First time at this delightful restaurant. We ordered house-made ricotta and duck-chicken liver parfait. Both were totally delicious and came with yummy breads. Portions were plentiful. The cod used in fish and chips was excellent. Our server was exceptional.. attentive, knowledgeable, pro active and friendly. An overall great experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good brunch!ElyseDined on 9/20/2014They even noted my open table comment that there was a birthday in the group and surprised us with a small dessert and a candle. I was really impressed. The brunch was delicious too!Special Features:
- KEVINkuaichangDined on 9/19/2014I cannot rave more about my server kevin. knowledgeable, helpful, and considerate without being overbearing. dandelion is a very nice place, but what puts it over the top is staff like kevin.Special Features:
- Nice but way overpricedMetscocDined on 9/19/2014Nice atmosphere, although very noisy, food tasty but some of the meals hardly have anything on the plate. I paid 27$ for literally 3 sea scallops with 4 gnocchi with some raw peas and a small lettuce leave on top, the whole covered by a special green sauce. The other 3 meals were tasty pies, less expensive and with more food to enjoy. Probably won't go back.Special Features:
- Surprisingly goodJewelEatsDined on 9/19/2014I didn't know what to expect for British food, but I was surprised to find several items that I enjoyed. The duck foie gras was delicious, and the London Underground was a great ending. The atmosphere was charming, and our waiter was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spotOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/17/2014Came for lunch with business associates and it was excellent. Cool decor, fast service, great food. Perfect.Special Features:
- pleasantly surprisedjpddsVIPDined on 9/14/2014i've been to dandelion a couple of times, but this time i was pleasantly surprised with the food. for some reason, it seemed to be much better than previously. food was already good to begin with, but this time it exceeded my expectations. service was great too. our party had a blast and we all very much enjoyed our food.Special Features:
- Food was exceptionalMarODined on 9/14/2014We went for brunch and the food and service was exceptional! One of the best meals I've ever had in Philly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was not "Star" serviceLoveFoodVIPDined on 9/14/2014All 6 of us enjoyed our meal. Food quality and taste was the same as times before. Service was not good and frankly disappointing for being a Steven Star restaurant. Expectation of his restaurants are not only great food but great service. Certainly Dandelion this time and to some extend the time before did not meet the expectation. If you have company and want to make sure the experience is SUPERB all around, I would pick Parc in this neighborhood for a great brunch and much much better service. Also, just a minor note: bread basket was not as diverse and as good as before. Clearly the baker is not the same.Special Features:
- AAAAHHHH-MAAAZZINNGGG!DowntowndishDined on 9/14/2014This was probably one of the best meals I have ever had. From the outside, the restaurant looks like it was transported directly from the streets of London. The interior decor was so unique-with a different theme in every room. My friend and I ate in what was dubbed, the "dog room" with portraits and trinkets of different breeds of dog. The service was excellent, and our server was very kind, the food was to.die.for. The bloody mary was delicious as well :) I'll definitely be back!Special Features:
- Delicious & Convenient!NicoleDined on 9/14/2014The food is decent. Coffee was a little strong or the cream was a little weak. Scones are the BEST! The ambiance is AMAZING! So cute! And you can make reservations so that is exciting. :)Special Features:
- BrunchVinsMomVIPDined on 9/14/2014We have been here several times for lunch and enjoyed it. I thought it would be fun to try the brunch menu. The food was so-so, most of it in deep need of salt. Super bland. We also had bloody mary's and mimosas which were tasteless.....not enough booze?....not sure what it was. Strange. We enjoy the ambiance, but I think we will stick to lunch in the future.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinesalot2VIPDined on 9/13/2014brought friends with us from London england and they loved it!!!Special Features:
- DandelionOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/13/2014Service is always impeccable here, food was just as good. It is expensive but well worth it.Special Features:
- AccommodatingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/13/2014We had a large group and due to the rain ran a bit late, but they still allowed us to order off the brunch menu and took great care of us. Thanks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A taste of EnglandIrishgalDined on 9/12/2014If you are looking for a taste of England, The Dandelion is a must. Great ambiance, reminiscent of an English pub/restaurant in the heart of Philadelphia. Service is excellent and food is delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- England visitedCARMDined on 9/12/2014English decorum and menu along with a Welsh server who was very personable and attentive. For just a moment it was like stepping off the street in Phila and into a restaurant in England. Fun drinks, good appetizers and fish and chips-all good. A really lovely lunch on a beautiful day in the city.Special Features:
- ExcellentBarbDined on 9/11/2014Love this place. It's cozy, food is comforting, never feel rushed.Special Features:
- Back at the Dandelion PubwebsterDined on 9/10/2014I returned to the Dandelion for the second time in a week and this time was even better than the previous time. Kudos to Jillian, our server. What I most appreciated was that we were not rushed and when I told Jillian that we hoped we could take our time, she was very gracious in saying that was "absolutely fine." The ambiance is still a bit noisy but one van get used to it, depending where the table is. The service was especially attentive this time.Special Features:
- Great for group lunch!KashDined on 9/8/2014Awesome food, refreshing cocktails, and the right ambiance for a group get-together. Our group of seven was seated on the 2nd floor by the window and it was perfect!Special Features:
- great brunchbrileyDined on 9/7/2014Stopped by the Dandelion with my fiance's parents and siblings for a quick brunch before we had to head to the airport. It was perfectly casual (since we were so hungover from a wedding we needed something easy) and the food was great. The beet and salmon appetizer was divine. We will definitely be back next time we're in Philly!Special Features:
- Dining DelightLou28DawnVIPDined on 9/6/2014This was my first visit to The Dandelion and my wife and I both found it wonderful. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, the service was great from the hostess through the numerous members of the wait staff that supported our waitress. The waitress was very attentive, without being intrusive, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. The food was delicious beginning with the warm bar olive appetizer and ending with a newly created dessert and everything in between. The wine list was very good and there creative cocktails that were equally as good. I highly recommend The Dandelion and intend to return very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal & atmospherembweinDined on 9/5/2014My parents were in from out of town and this was a great spot to take them! We all enjoyed our food (we had a hard time deciding… lots of great options!). Great service. Our waitress was very friendly, funny, and helpful with the menu. Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- websterDined on 9/3/2014I always enjoy The Dandelion. This time (September 3) the service was outstanding, as was the food. The issue for me is always the noise. I would love it if such a great restaurant could have 3-5 "quiet tables." The absence of quiet,however, won't keep me away from going again very soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- English pub with extraordinary foodMarkDined on 8/30/2014I never thought I had food issues until now. I'm sure that we all have had good or perhaps great food before. However, the sauce on the fig cake dessert will make you want to smear it all over your body so that every pore can drink in/absorb/enjoy this remarkable toffee sauce. Now that I have that covered I'll move on to the review. The establishment is a quaint English style pub. Make reservations early. There are few outdoor tables available and the remaining seats are on two floors but the interior can get loud when busy. Any issue can be overlooked because the food is ... in a word ... amazing - with perfectly cooked fish and chips, or roasted chicken. The chef here is an expert at sauces... This establishment will become a staple!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good foodfoodjunkie11Dined on 8/30/2014just like eating at a pub in England except the food is much better at dandelion!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Sweet Place to BegingerpupDined on 8/29/2014Many times going to a new restaurant you don't really know what to expect. From the moment you walk through the front door you're greeted with smiles and a very warm family feeling. The service was astonishing, and the food was fabulous. We could not have asked for a better start to the holiday weekend. We were there with a group of 7, and we all highly recommend checking this gem out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good ..TheeDined on 8/28/2014Either it's for lunch, dinner or just drinks, it's a great place to hang out with your friends. Very relaxing and chill-out atmosphere.Special Features:
- Great Lunch SpotOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/27/2014Fast, quick, great service, good food. The perfect lunch spot if you're strapped for time.Special Features:
- Fun AtmosphereglensidegourmetDined on 8/26/2014Lots of stuff to look at and a great personality. I was surprised by the fish and chips - I was expecting the entire meal to come in an open cardboard box, as I have had it in the UK, but they served it as a single piece of cod on a plate, with just the chips (French fries) in the box. The fish was very light - really excellent. I think the fish pate would have been better if they had served it with crackers or lighter bread instead of the heavy bread they served it with, but my companions loved it. They also need to work on their wine selection - it's limited. That said, the wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and it's a very fun restaurant, especially if you like beer. Overall, a great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I've returned yet againsavannahtraveler2013VIPDined on 8/24/2014This was my fourth time at Dandelion in the last 6 months. This is all about what a restaurant should be. The whole dining experience was perfect in every way. From the ease of reserving a table, to the friendliness of the staff when leaving. This trip was extremely notable because of the number of people who attended to us, and the knowledge and attitude of the staff. I have never encountered one employee with an attitude. That is the way all restaurants should be. The decor is over the top--funSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful Dining in the CitySMCizMeDined on 8/24/2014I was greatly pleased by The Dandelion. The crowd is energetic no matter what time of day I have been there. The staff is abundant and all welcoming and pleasant (special thanks to Ronnie for her insight and individual attention) The selection is surprisingly big for such a niche establishment and even has a few classic standbys for the less adventurous diners in your group. There is a nice depth to the flavors that is unexpected from such simple dishes, but even down to the batter on the fish and chips, there was a complexity not generally expected from such a dish. Highlights included: Heirloom tomato salad, oysters, fish & chips, and the sticky toffee pudding. Seating note: Snag a table in the upstairs bar if possible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SolidAlBDinerDined on 8/24/2014Had brunch, which is difficult to distinguish, but the food was solid. Great Bloody Mary. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was also very nice. Overall, it had the quality and theatre one expects from a Starr restaurant. Would recommend and return without hesitation. I'm curious about dinner options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun restaurantDisappointmentDined on 8/23/2014Dandelion is a fun and delicious restaurant choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid Starr ExperienceSteveDined on 8/23/2014Dining in a Starr restaurant is like Disney for adults - the themeing of the space is almost hyper-real. Service started a bit rough when our waiter went to another table that was just seated, but while we had been there for about 10 minutes with no service. After that all was well though. The homemade ricotta was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted. I went with a burger and it did not disappoint. Wife had cheddar scones in Stilton and spinach and that was really good as well. Early on a Saturday there were kids there, so this is child OK if dining early.Special Features:
- Perfect for lunch!!DrJonVIPDined on 8/22/2014Dandelion delights for lunch!! My daughter and I went for an end-of-the-week treat and this was perfect...the warm roast beef and panna cotta were to die for!!Special Features:
- Excellent food and service at lunchLeahVIPDined on 8/21/2014I have been to The Dandelion fir lunch several times and it is a great setting. The food is good, service attentive, and setting relaxing. The shrimp cocktail was plentiful for an appetizer portion and the risotto was excellently prepared. The ice cream we shared for dessert homemade and a great ending to the meal. Sometimes the sound level can get noisy bit that depends on where you sit and the hostess can help with that. Will definitely come back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectGhazahDined on 8/20/2014LOVED it. This was my second time here and it was more impressive than a year ago. The menu continues to incorporate seasonal foods and allows for adventure and uncommon choices. Everything was cooked to perfection. The crab risotto was incredible as was the duck & chicken mousse- highly addictive. I will not wait so long to go back this time. Our server was a true pro-keeping an eye on us and without being interruptive, she checked in just as we needed.Special Features:

- Select file you want export to (for example file doesn't exist)
- make export
- close Table tools dialog
- open it again (field with file name already filled with existing file name, that was previously created)
- press EXPORT button - it will replace file without question
I think that must be flag, that must be set when user selects file name from standard `Open File` dialog and reset when dialog is closed or after successful export. And when user presses EXPORT button `heidisql` will check this flag and question user if it's not set.

Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
Planningtorock | 27/08/14
Jam Rostron, Bolton-born, Berlin-based is welcomed to the Domino Publishing family. The artist behind the multimedia recording and performance project Planningtorock, her 2014 LP 'All Love's Legal' is both an extension of her previous work and a refinement and of its ideas and sonics. Planningtorock has always incorporated politics into her music, but this is by far her most explicitly political record yet. It follows 'W', which was released on DFA in 2011, and her 2006 debut album...
Age and four full-lengths haven't mellowed Pissed Jeans; they can still unleash a blare that will exfoliate your cochlea. Formed in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pissed Jeans released Shallow, their first album, in 2005 on Parts Unknown Records. The band relocated to Philadelphia seven years ago, and Sub Pop released Hope for Men in 2007, and then King of Jeans in 2009. The latter was recorded by Grammy nominee Alex Newport, who also recorded 2013's offering 'Honeys'.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- A Lawrenceville woman is behind bars on charges she stormed a home this week, armed herself with kitchen knives and attacked several people.
Aluanna Richardson, 18, is charged with felony aggravated assault and criminal trespass in the Tuesday incident at a Lawrenceville home in the 3000 block of Cruse Road.
Witnesses told police Richardson and another woman entered the home without permission about 20 minutes after midnight. Richardson called out, "Where the (expletive) is my property?" and then grabbed two knives from the kitchen and came after a woman who fled and locked herself in a garage, witnesses told police, according to a report.
A man and woman who tried to take the knives from Richardson received minor cuts. In the struggle, Richardson was cut on the side of her face and required stitches before she was transported to jail, the report states.
Richardson's alleged accomplice, Anita Aghadiuno, 19, came back to the scene while police were there and was arrested on simple battery and criminal trespass charges.
Richardson is being held without bond, pending a probable cause hearing scheduled for Oct. 25.

Story of Hope
My daughter was born on August 12th- a Leo. I didn't expect this as she was due a few days before Thanksgiving. However, complications caused her to be born 14 weeks early weighing in at just over one pound. Maybe Fate knew that she would need the heart, the courage and the strength of a lion.
Surprisingly, she sailed through her NICU stay and went home a happy, healthy baby. In late 1999, she had a few episodes of unexplained vomiting over several weeks. I took her to the pediatrician saying, "This is a reassurance visit for you to tell me my daughter doesn't have a brain tumor." She had us schedule an MRI.
On December 3rd 1999, we took our then 5 year old daughter for a "reassurance MRI". Had I really thought she had a brain tumor I would have never scheduled such a test on a Friday night. However, the 6:45 PM time slot would allow all of us to go together so it seemed logical at the time. We had gotten 75 minutes into our 45 minute MRI when the neuro-radioloigst came in and said, "Hi, I'm the neuro-radiologist and I just need to inject some contrast." He then came over and said, "Yes mom, it is a posterior fossa tumor." In a heartbeat our lives were forever changed. Our journey began in to the world of medulloblastomas and brain tumors.
Fortunately, we were at a Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium site and they had everything worked out. The neurosurgeon had been contacted and a spinal MRI had been immediately added. A PICU bed was ready. The neuro-oncology social worker was on her way. The neurosurgical resident was in the radiology reading room ready to talk with us - with surgical consents in hand. I called my director at work and said get me off the schedule for the next three weeks (although the resident only thought I would need to take off two.) We were whisked through the rest of the night.
We got a gross total resection but the price was high. She came out of surgery with cerebellar mutism, posterior fossa syndrome and cortical blindness. She was extremely irritable, blind, mute, unable to swallow, the right eye turned all the way in towards her nose, her face drooped on the right and since she could not swallow drool dripped continuously down her chin and incontinent. Her right side was paralyzed (and the left arm went out for a little while too). She had no muscle control (marked hypotonia) and could not move voluntarily. She needed to be turned every two hours for a few weeks. We tried to figure out a way to communicate with her but she could not nod her head, she could not squeeze our hand or give a thumbs up, she didn't even seem to be able to control her eyes. Yet, we thought she could hear and had the fears and concerns of a normal 5-year-old.
In addition to the craniospinal radiation and chemotherapy (vincristine, CCNU, and cisplatinum), she would need intensive rehabilitation. Her course was complicated. She developed vincristine toxicity – losing the reflexes in her legs, the ability to feel to a level above her knees and her gut stopped working. Fortunately, after stopping the medicine for several rounds she improved in this area. Halfway through cisplatinum we stopped due to hearing loss. After multiple second opinions, it was decided that she had too many other complications to risk losing hearing too. Nutrition and weight were issues also. She was tube fed for a year.
Our first year off therapy was no better than on. She had developed inexplicable ulcers on the back of her head. At first it was thought to be radiation-induced. So, we did 40 treatments of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Hyperbarics is more intense than anything else we experienced, but it didn't help. Finally it was apparent that she had an infection in the bone flap so it was back to the OR. She came out with a gapping hole to the dural covering of the brain. Months of antibiotics and dressing changes followed – along with another 20 hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
During all this time, we did not let life pass her by. We were fortunate enough to be able to let her travel so we did. We got to see Mickey Mouse and Shamu in Orlando. She sat with Martha Washington in Williamsburg. She rode on a dog sled in Quebec. She saw Condors over the Grand Canyon and walked on petrified logs. She became a Daisy Girl Scout and now is a Brownie. She took ballet, tap, swimming and tumbling at the YMCA. Perhaps some of our best times were family dates when we went to the movies or a picnic.
Now 45 months later- we are cancer free and leading a great life. We will never be able to leave the experience behind as she has a shunt (just revised this year after a shunt failure). She is on growth hormone injections. We expect for her thyroid to fail in the upcoming year or two. She goes to a private learning differences school as academics are tough.
On the upside- Tori is gentle, perceptive, social, happy, and has a great sense of humor. She is a wonderful kid to be around and her peers like her. She loves tea parties, getting dressed up, and sleeping over at friends. She loves swimming, ice skating, yoga, Brownies, and now wants to take kickboxing.
My parting words... Linus Pauling said, "I have had dreams and I've had nightmares. It is because of my dreams that I have overcome my nightmares." Healing takes time. Healing takes opportunity. Healing takes dreams.
