For Spacious, well-priced and with generous standard equipment on most trims, and a broad range of engines, including a very refined and efficient three-cylinder with low CO2 emissions.
Against Some rivals, notably the VW Polo, hold their value better; the infotainment system is fiddly, and handling could be sharper.
What Car? says
Pick carefully from the Corsa range and you can have a really recommendable small car. It's not quite best in class, but it's a cheap company car and affordable private buy, and pleasant to live with.

There are 54 Vauxhall Corsa versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The 1.0 three-cylinder and 1.4 turbocharged petrol engines are the easiest to recommend. The 1.0 is refined and flexible, and quite fast in higher-powered guise, while the 1.4 turbo is also pretty rapid and cheaper – if not as refined – as the 1.0 models. Avoid the very basic trims that lack air-con, or top-end SE which is too expensive, and you can't go too far wrong. Excite or SRi will be best for most private buyers; they both get air-con, a colour touch-screen, multifunction steering wheel, Bluetooth, digital radio, USB input, alloy wheels, and automatic lights and wipers. However, Excite can't be bought with the low-powered 1.0 or the 1.4T. SRi can be had with our favoured engines at a price that looks good value, and it adds a 60/40 split rear bench, cruise control, leather steering wheel and sports seats. Company car users will be better off going for Design, which is cheaper than SRi but does without alloy wheels, auto lights and wipers, and sports seats.

Nothing about a midweek music festival starting at 3 in the afternoon particularly makes sense, but the great(ish) thing about 107.7's annual Deck the Hall Ball is that, like yesterday's weather, if you're not into what's happening, stick around and it'll change. Nine bands were scheduled to play in the span of about eight hours; so the first half of the program flew by with the opening bands barely having time to warm up and play their big crowd-pleaser before being shuffled off to get the next act on stage while water and snack vendors roamed the floor to keep everyone in the giant bunker hydrated without losing their prime real estate.
All of the quick changes made for a lively start, though it was hard not to feel a little bad for the bands that had traveled a great distance across oceans and continents (the Joy Formidable, Of Monsters and Men) or through time (The Grammy nominated Lumineers) just to play three or five songs to an early afternoon crowd. But one has to hope that commercial rock radio and arena show piles of cash make the jet lagged sprints worthwhile. Even the bands at the top of the bill with more time got more time to stretch their legs still played pretty compressed versions of their usual sets. Part of the breakneck pace was all of the actual jumping around on stage (I suspect this was a term of the contract) as well as the impressive genre-hopping (within the framework of modern rock music).
As a fan of bands (shutting up and) playing the hits (at festivals), I have to say that what was essentially full day confined inside an arena without time to hunt down food or drinks turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable survey course in a year in pretty-well-deserved hits: from neo-folkwave, various flavors of international rock acts, emotionally resonant pop, embarrassingly altest alt-rock, synthy spacedream nostalgia, and slick arena ambitions.
Stray observations:

NHL lockout hits St. Louis coffers
Send this to a friend
- Staff St. Louis Business Journal
The city of St. Louis has lost about $1.7 million in revenue due to the cancellation of 20 Blues games so far during the NHL lockout.
That's according to figures provided by city officials, KMOX reports. The loss more than offsets unexpected revenue from the St. Louis Cardinals post-season play. "The Cardinals being in the NLCS really did help us," Mayor Francis Slay told the radio station. "We got about $1.5 million we weren't anticipating, but what's happening with the hockey now is going to offset that."

Qantas Job Axe Hits 26 Managers
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | March 28, 2014 10:00 AM EST
A seven-page memo to Qantas staff that was leaked to media said that 26 managers will get the axe as part of the embattled air carrier's cost-cutting programme in a bid to save $2 billion over three years.
antas CEO Alan Joyce poses next to a Qantas A380 model at the company's full year results new conference in central Sydney.
The Sydney Morning Herald named several senior managers who would join the 5,000 Qantas employees who would become unemployed in the coming months. They include Steve Treharthen, international security head; Gavin Harris, senior engineering manager; Max Kownatzki, Jetstar executive strategy manager; and Simon Chamberlain, head of Hooroo, the new travel booking site of Jetstar.
These developments are part of the major changes to the composition of Qantas's senior leadership team, although it has spared higher officials.
The international division, which has been losing business, will cut down the number of regional general managers, while those who will keep their post would have bigger number of countries under their supervision. This move would mean good-bye to the manager for Western Europe, Daniele Da-Rin; the head of alliances, Maxine Jacquet; and the head of international airports, Chadi Chalhoub.
The domestic business would even cut the position of regional manager, resulting in the axing of Ian Gay, Peter Collins, Allan Williams, Ken Ryan and Rina Karabesinis.
Qantas would also revert to its old set-up of having only one chief operating officer for the domestic and international operations, resulting in the departure of Domestic Chief Executive Matt Lee and the promotion of Jetstar executive Andrew David.
On the rank-and-file, expected to be axed are 1,500 workers performing back-office functions and 300 aircraft maintenance personnel.

Search for missing hiker, Matthew Greene, halted
Updated On: Nov 08 2013 04:53:27 AM CST
It's been nearly four months, and still no answers.
Thirty-nine-year-old Matthew Greene hasn't been heard from since mid-July. Friends tell us the Nazareth Area High School math teacher has officially been declared missing here in Pa., but they haven't gotten any closer to figuring out what happened to him.
"At this point, unfortunately, nothing solid has come out of that," explained friend Tony Rogerson. "Hasn't really helped with a clue of where he might have gone on that day."
For friends like Rogerson, and especially Matt's family, that only leaves more questions. Matt was last seen in the Mammoth Lakes area of California. Snow is already falling out there, making it too treacherous to continue searching.
"We knew this time would come, it was inevitable," added Rogerson.
Family members say they're putting the search on hold until the spring. But they want to keep Matt's story alive until he's found.
"Just not knowing really makes it difficult to move forward quickly."
Students at Nazareth High have held 'Green Outs' at football games to raise money for the search, and Matt's parents have started a scholarship in his name. But the loss isn't getting any easier.
"We're planning for Christmas, Matt was always with us, and planning, looking forward to some weekend trips with the boys, and Matt will be missing, and that's a constant reminder," Rogerson said.
He says close friends are planning a bonfire and memorial for Matt this weekend, hoping maybe it can help them move on.
"Talk about Matt, and look at pictures, and just have a chance to kind of bond and help ourselves work through this," shared Rogerson.

An increasing number of both public and private apartment complexes and condos are banning smoking, preventing people from lighting up anywhere, even in their own units.The bans stem from nonsmokers' concerns about second-hand smoke.

Topic: Planting, Trees
Title: Growing Chilopsis in Florida
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:I live in St. Johns County, FL between Jacksonville and St Augustine. I live inland, not near the beach. I bought a small desert willow plant in Victoria, TX and brought it back to FL to grow. I plan to plant in a raised bed. Can you provide any information to include in the planting matter so that it could survive in FL? Or would it be best to plant it in a large pot that would dry out more?
Desert willow (Chilopsis linearis) is a small tree that has willow-like leaves and attractive, large pinkish-white, funnel-shaped blooms that appear after summer rains. It is showy, drought-tolerant and fast growing. It grows best with just enough water to keep it blooming and healthy during the summer months.
Here's some information about the soil and growing conditions from our website: Well-drained limestone soils preferred, but also does well in sands, loams, clays, caliches, granitic, and rocky soils. Minimal organic content the norm. Allow to dry out between waterings, as this will encourage more extensive waves of blooms. Avoid excessive water and fertilizer, as that can lead to overly rapid growth, fewer blooms, and a weaker plant. Prolonged saturation can result in rot. Won't grow as fast or get as large in clay soil but won't suffer there either. Can be drought-deciduous in some regions. Can survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees F.
Prune frequently during its first few years to encourage minimal or single trunks. Water occasionally during prolonged drought. Remove spent flowers and seed pods to encourage continued blooming. To encourage branching and blooming, cut back during winter dormancy by a third.
The tree should grow well in a large pot or in a raised, well drained garden bed with lean soil.

Old facility in a not so nice locationPosted Sep 19, 2014
The hotel is an older facility. Although renovated, much more needs to be done to bring it up to current expectations. It is located in an industrial area with no eating facilities within walking distance. One of the first signs seen when entering the property is a sign announcing it as a Sheriff Department weapons turn in location. The second sign is a reserved parking space for their security officer.
Comment from Hotel Management
Sep 27, 2014 by Artie, Hotel Management
Bob, thank you for coming and for writing a review. Unfortunately, some of your statements aren't quite accurate. We are almost through our renovation project! We've updated the paint on the exterior and interior, put new furniture in most of the rooms, put new carpet throughout and we are currently working on the dining room! We are a local police substation. No weapons are ever turned in here. Ownership has agreed to work with local law enforcement to keep this area free of crime! The Jacksonville Sheriff's office works with many local hotels to cut down on crime and it's working! We want nothing more than to give our guests a great stay in a safe environment! I do wish a restaurant were close enough to walk to. I've said that many times. It is a residential area though. Adjacent to us are several apartment communities. We do hope you come back soon to see the other improvements here!

Once is not enoughPosted Aug 11, 2014
Pros: The children enjoyed the heated swimming pool, many hotels pool water is cold.and the spacious room. my son loved having his own television for games.
Cons: The breakfast menu could very each morning eg. scramble eggs vs boil, beacon vs sausage, for long stay is become stalling. Fruit-salad vs. fruits.
Location: This hotel is in a Prime location to many restaurants, appliance stores and a mall ie within 10mins. and within distance to the beach as well.
This hotel is a place to stay I would stay here again and again once its conditions remains the same, convenient location once you get to know the place, ie you don't have to take the high way to get around the area. The faults I had was the workers on the outside had their cords running along the driving path and being in a wheel chair because I had a broken ankle the level in the threshold in the entrance, elevator and bathroom was rough and could be corrected for person who have to experience it as a life event. The attendant was very helpful and warm welcoming, especially the lady that took care of the breakfast, she does a tremendous service-greats you with a smile and is very helpful. On our second day there was no cold water all day even up to the time we came from seeing the town, we were offered to be moved to another room which was nice but it was too late to pack up and relocate and since we were leaving the next morning we declined but early the following morning the maintenance person was on the job doing repairs. Persons may complain under this condition about it but I regard it like home, things happen and it takes time to repair situations. We enjoyed ourselves and my children loved the room/suite. Once they are happy and having fun then I guess if's a great experience. I definitely would stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to others to stay if stopping in at Jacksonville for a visit. If you stay here you won't regret spending your money.

Pros: Not much.
Cons: Air quality. Better/new A/C units.
Very smelly hotel. Room smelled mildewy and musty. Elevator was very stuffy. A/C unit sounded like a semi truck idling in the room. Temp controls were inconsistent. Parking lot is small and narrow, further affected by a number of construction trucks out front.

Great location near Naval Air StationPosted Jul 25, 2014
Pros: Everything in the room was outstanding, as well as the breakfast.
Cons: I really can't think of anything.
Location: The location was off of I-295 and Hwy 17. This was close to many fine restaurants, the Naval Air Station, the dog race track, and several relatives.
The room was exceptionally clean and the maids were very professional and friendly. The front desk and breakfast staff were great also. The room's furniture was comfortable and the refrigerator and microwave worked well. I loved the breakfast.

Sooo, there must be something about Halloween coming up that is making me want to through green and purple together, a combo I would never usually use, but at this time of year, it just seems to go. So, when my sister asked me to make a 30th birthday card for a friend of her's and I was rummaging through my stash for inspiration, guess which combo just leaped out at me.
I started by knowing that this would be a large 8x8 card and that I wanted to put feathers on this card to add a little glamour, and the green and purple feathers just seems to work, so I pulled them out, found some matching ribbons and then started rummaging through my paper scraps.
I found some green card, which I used to make the card border and then the purple corrugated card to cut out a 30. I've had this card forever, but could never find a use for it, because it is just so difficult to add anything onto it without adding so much bulk, but as a standalone on this card, the extra texture and dimension it provided worked well.
I decided to add the purple ribbon along the bottom half of the card and then tie a bow from the green ribbon to hide the bottom of the feathers. And no, it is not your eyes playing tricks on you, the green ribbon is actually loads of different random shades, which I didn't realise until I started taking it off the reel.
I then used the scraps of green and purple card left over to die-cut some stars, which I scattered above and around the 30. I love this die - I got all those stars from just two goes through the big shot, with the tiniest scrap of paper, and there is nothing you can't put a star on as far as I'm concerned!
I did think that I had finished the card then, but I kept looking at it thinking that it just needed a little something more, maybe a little bit of glitter. So, I decided to add some faux stitching around the edge using a purple glitter pen.
I hope my sister's friend likes it. My sister seemed to.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Dancing With The Stars
Sooo, another quick post to share with you another card I made at the weekend.
This is an order from a friend for her daughter, whose 3rd birthday is coming up soon, and she luuurves dancing, so that way my brief - something dancy.
I decided that I'm bored of pink girl cards, so went for blue instead, but I still wanted it to be girly.
So, I used an LOTV mini masterpiece, which I edged with blue chalk ink, which I got from a new subscription box I was sent to try out, and which I will tell you more about later. The backing paper is from the same box.
I added some gingham ribbon from my stash, and then covered that with some lace (also from my stash), which means that you can't actually see the ribbon on the photos unfortunately.
I added a doily heart behind the image and die-cut 'daughter' from a scrap of pearlescent blue card which was in my stash.
I then found the blue metal stars in my stash (no ideas where they came from and how I've not managed to use them before now).
To finish, I added some blue gems and a sparkly blue 3.
I hope my friend, and her daughter, like the card.

Leaning On The Gate Post
Sooo, (hopefully) a few posts tonight to share my weekend makes with you, and first up is this little chap.
I made this card using a LOTV topper, cut to a square. I inked the edges with cocoa memento ink.
I followed the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Sunday for my layout.
The papers are all LOTV Country Gent pad and the sentiment is from my stash, inked with cocoa memento.
I punched some circles from scraps of the paper I used to create the bands and added a button from my stash as a final piece.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Craft Clear Out
Soooo, just a quick post today to say that I have been very busy at the weekend having a craft clear out and listed loads on ebay. It's a work in progress and I will be listing some more bits and pieces as the week goes on, but I think I have the bulk of it on there now.
There's craft supplies, end of season stock, and even some clothes that I don't wear.
Xmas and my birthday are coming up, so I have to make room for all the new goodies I hope to get, don't I.
Grab yourself a bargain. Just click on the link below and it should take you to all the goodies.
Also, have a look in the Etsy shop where I am selling off some petticoats for £10 each (plus P&P), which I already have made up and are just taking up too much room. I'll be adding some more over the weekend (I just need to take some better photos).

Soooo, this is the second card I made today, which was an order from my sister for her friend, who had a baby girl earlier in the week, so congratulations to Danielle and husband on the birth of Edie Rose, such a lovely name, I do like vintage names.
Anyway, the only stipulation was that the card had the baby's name on it, and here is the card:
I started by heat embossing the 'new baby' sentiment stamp using versamark ink and light pink embossing powder on kraft card. I then cut this to size and layered it onto some gauze.
I decided against a backing paper on the textured card blank, so I added this panel straight to the card.
I had already added some pink ribbons to two corners of the card.
I then stamped a set of LOTV baby shoes using grey memento ink and coloured these with my new Inktense pencils - I keep practising with these. I fussy cut the shows and added these to the top right-hand corner of the card.
I then die-cut 'Edie Rose' from pink pearlescent card (the pearlescence unfortunately does not show very well in the photos) and added a pink rose.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Happy Crafting!
Soooo, this evening I would like to share with you the birthday card I have made for my mother. It's her birthday on Tuesday, but I took her card and present today when I went for tea with my little sis and the nieces (the big sis isn't well, so we thought we'd let her rest), and here it is:
As usual with my cards, it looks nothing like I intended when I started, but I have been struggling with creativity this last week or so, but this card I'm hoping has solved that.
I decided that I would like to keep it quite simple, rather than my usual fussier cards.
I die cut the letters from a scrap of kraft card that I had lying around on my desk. I attached these to a hammered card blank with sticky fixers to add some dimension, as I knew that I would be adding 3-d embellishments, although I wasn't sure what at that moment.
I toyed with the idea of adding flowers, but then the jar of buttons caught my eye, so I emptied this out and played around a bit with various shapes and colours of buttons before I decided on the two pink heart buttons.
I thought that the card still looked a little bare, so I dug around in my ribbon boxes and came across the pink polka dot ribbon, which I made a bow from and then added strips of the ribbon too, and that was my card finished.
She seemed to like it, but she definitely liked her present more - Singin' In The Rain on DVD and a Singin' In The Rain umbrella.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Happy Crafting!

Casper the Unfriendly Ghost is Found
Ever wonder what happened to Casper the Friendly Ghost. Yea, me neither, but here's a video of my back up costume, Casper the Unfriendly Ghost.
Ever wonder what happened to Casper the Friendly Ghost. Yea, me neither, but here's a video of my back up costume, Casper the Unfriendly Ghost.
Lord knows, if I could, I would show nature eating itself everyday, but they want me to be positive. Since it's Halloween, I'm positive this is O.K. It's a time lapse video of ants destroying the corpse of a Gecko lizard. Amazingly it only took a few hours. The sick part of me wonders how long it would take for human corpse. Can you tell I didn't take my medication today.
When you suck at putting on make up, you need to explain to everyone just what the hell you were thinking. So I made a video of my Halloween costume. I'm Productionstein.
While everyone spent the last month gearing up for Halloween, TV news did its duty by continuing to roll out hilarious bloopers.
You don't need to sway trick-or-treaters to go out in search of candy. But, you may need to sway them to your home for the best candy.
The 'Resident Evil' video game franchise is one of the most successful of all-time, selling over 61 million units since the first game made its debut on the Sony PlayStation in 1996. The game series was so popular it spawned an equally lucrative film franchise, which includes five movies (and a sixth on the way) that have grossed almost $1 billion worldwide. But, would all that have happened if Gwyneth Paltrow had starred in the movie? Because that almost happened. Find out more about that, and other scary scoop from the 'Resident Evil' movies is this week's horrifying You Think You Know Movies? episode!
I love nature films. Grew up with Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom". And, truth be told, the only channels I miss since I got rid of cable TV, are the Nature based channels. So this is GoPro adventure is a real treat.
I feel I've made my position on cats pretty obvious. (doorways for demons to escape Hell) So you'd think I'd get a kick out this. (O.K., so maybe a little), but it's pretty scary for cat lovers. A couple of cats are taking paw shots at Koi fish when the unthinkable happens. (or does it)
I have a tough time at Halloween parties. Being fat, my choices for costumes are limited. Unless I want to go to the "Fat Costume Section" in the Walmart web sight. If you don't want the hassle of paying for a fat costume, try these ideas. They're cheap and easy. Sort of like what stores try to make women on Halloween, except with these idea's you wear your own clothes. You're welcome.
I have an irational fear of heights. In two ways really. One, being that high; Second, people tossing things from that high so they kill people on the streets. Here's another reason for me not to go to NYC...super tall apartments are on the way. The first is being built and we now have video of the view you'll get from the top floor. Which, by the way, was recently sold for $95 million.

Arizona freshman Aaron Gordon expected to enter NBA draft
Gordon is projected as the No. 8 pick in the June NBA draft by Draft Express. If he's drafted in that spot, he will receive about $5 million guaranteed over his first two seasons under the NBA's rookie salary scale.
Seattle Times news services
Arizona Wildcats freshman forward Aaron Gordon is expected to enter the NBA draft when he holds a news conference Tuesday to announces his future plans, according to several reports.
Gordon is projected as the No. 8 pick in the June NBA draft by Draft Express. If he's drafted in that spot, he will receive about $5 million guaranteed over his first two seasons under the NBA's rookie salary scale.
Gordon averaged 12.4 points and eight rebounds last season. Arizona junior guard Nick Johnson also is expected to declare for the draft, according to multiple sources. He led the Wildcats in scoring (16.3 points a game) last season and, according to several NBA executives, will likely be taken in the second round of the June 26 draft.
• Jabari Parker said he plans to "set up an appointment" with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski when he returns to Durham, N.C., on Tuesday and he will decide Wednesday whether to declare for the NBA draft or return to college for his sophomore year.
Parker was in Oklahoma City to accept the Wayman Tisdale Award as college basketball's top freshman. He says his decision will be based on where he can grow the most.
• Michigan State shooting guard Gary Harris is entering the NBA draft as a sophomore. Harris averaged a team-high 16.7 points last season, helping his team win 29 games, including the Big Ten tournament championship.
"It's time to follow my dream," Harris said in a statement released by the school.

The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) named The Toro Company a recipient of a 2013 Tekne Award for Agricultural Technology. The awards recognize the most innovative Minnesota businesses and organizations for technological breakthroughs.
Toro's PrecisionSense site assessment system received top honors in the agricultural technology category, which focuses on improving productivity, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The system is used by golf courses and sports fields. It utilizes mobile soil sensing and data collection technology to measure the variability of key site attributes, such as soil moisture, salinity, compaction, and plant performance. This can help improve water and resource efficiency, and can produce healthy, more uniform turf.
The 14th annual Tekne Awards took place on Nov. 6 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, and recognized 16 small and large companies. Award categories spanned the manufacturing, agricultural, electronics and healthcare industries. The program also honored innovations in education, mobile devices and applications, and safety and security.

ACLU says school's web filter violates free speech rights
Updated On: Feb 28 2013 05:48:08 AM CST
There's a fight over free speech brewing in the Governor Mifflin School District. A student said computers at school block out websites related to sexuality.
The American Civil Liberties Union took notice.
"Marry for love not gender," Governor Mifflin junior Maison Fioravante read a poster she created for her digital studio arts 2 class, "Please visit HRC.org or GLSEN.org."
When Maison tried to go to many web sites like the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network for research at school, she couldn't.
"When I started to google at school about this information there would be a smooth wall block saying we couldn't access this because of the sexuality filter," said Maison Fioravante.
She asked her teacher for help and was given special permission.
"There shouldn't be exceptions because I want us all be equal," said Fioravante. So, she started an online petition on Change.org.
"I thought about the other kids. What if they're questioning who they are or what if they're just curious about the community," said Fioravante, "And they want to know something why can't they access this at school, where they're suppose to feel safe and they're supposed to learn."
After thousands of signatures, the American Civil Liberties Union contacted her about her first amendment free speech rights.
"Working with the ACLU, I got tons of screen shots of all these different web sites ones that are blocked and ones that aren't blocked. And that's how we ended up putting everything together and sending a letter to the school," said Fioravante.
Fioravante said she doesn't know how long it will take Mifflin to change its internet filters. The ACLU is requesting a response to its letter to the school district by March 14th.
"We have to see how the school plays out if they want to keep the filter up," said Fioravante, "Then the ACLU on my behalf is going to sue the school."
The Mifflin school district referred this matter to its lawyer. The lawyer has not yet responded to WFMZ's request for comment.
"I'm trying to stay true to myself and try to help the other kids around me feel comfortable with who they are," said Fioravante.

Gert Strydom
20th century
Farms are burned down to the ground
and cattle slaughter just there in the fields,
while a super power forces women and children
into concentration camps to kill them there.
Railway tracks run crisscross over the country
and galloping horses and oxen pulling wagons
are replaced by roaring cars, lorries
and motorbikes
and people follow technology
as if it's the new god.
When the stock exchange folds
people jump from the windows of buildings,
while they are out of their wits,
as if they have got wings.
Germans march past
and thousands in crowds
are giving a sigh heil salute
and in a peculiar way stay ignorant
about millions of Jews that are robbed
and killed,
as if they did not exist.
Bombers let bombs dropp like rain
on Britain and rockets
hit London almost unstoppable
and in the icy Russian winter
the Germans are reminded that they are humans
and from Stalingrad they are driven back
until the Russians claim some of Berlin
and half of Germany
as their domain
and almost every women there gets raped
and America drops the bomb on Hiroshima
and another time on Nagasaki
and their enemies are molten, burned and radiated
and after this war jets cross the skies,
rockets go to the moon
where man stands like a god.
It's the age were young boys
are shot into peaces in Vietnam, in Namibia
and Angola are sent to war,
where people loose respect for God
and try to solve everything with science,
where man becomes godly in his own eyes
and I wonder what the almighty God
thinks about this
while man is turn the earth to ruins
and are filling the cup
of the wrath of God?
