Matt. 4:23-25
Jesus made a circular tour of Galilee, teaching in the Synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom, and healing all kinds of diseases and ailments among the people: and the report of his activities went out all over Syria. So they brought to him an those who were ill, those who were in the grip of the most varied diseases and pains, those who were possessed by demons, those who were epileptics, and those who were paralysed; and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee, and from the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Jesus had chosen to begin his mission in Galilee, and we have seen how well-prepared Galilee was to receive the seed. Within Galilee Jesus chose to launch his campaign in the synagogues.
The synagogue was the most important institution in the life of any Jew. There was a difference between the synagogues and the Temple. There was only one Temple, the Temple in Jerusalem, but wherever there was the smallest colony of Jews there was a synagogue. The Temple existed solely for the offering of sacrifice; in it there was no preaching or teaching. The synagogue was essentially a teaching institution. The synagogues have been defined as "the popular religious universities of their day." If a man had any religious teaching or religious ideas to disseminate, the synagogue was unquestionably the place to start.
Further, the synagogue service was such that it gave the new teacher his chance. In the synagogue service there were three parts. The first part consisted of prayers. The second part consisted of readings from the Law and from the Prophets, readings in which members of the congregation took part. The third part was the address. The important fact is that there was no one person to give the address. There was no such thing as a professional ministry. The president of the synagogue presided over the arrangements for the service. Any distinguished stranger could be asked to give the address, and anyone with a message to give might volunteer to give it; and, if the ruler or president of the synagogue judged him to be a fit person to speak, he was allowed to speak. Thus, at the beginning, the door of the synagogue and the pulpit of the synagogue were open to Jesus. He began in the synagogue because it was there he would find the most sincerely religious people of his day, and the way to speak to them was open to him. After the address there came a time for talk, and questions, and discussion. The synagogue was the ideal place in which to get a new teaching across to the people.
But not only did Jesus preach; he also healed the sick. It was little wonder that reports of what he was doing went out and people came crowding to hear him, and to see him, and to benefit from his pity.
They came from Syria. Syria was the great province of which Palestine was only a part. It stretched away to the north and the north-east with the great city of Damascus as its center. It so happens that one of the loveliest legends passed down to us by Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History 1: 13) goes back to this time. The story goes that there was a king called Abgar, in Edessa, and he was ill. So, it is said, he wrote to Jesus: "Abgar, ruler of Edessa, to Jesus, the most excellent Saviour, who has appeared in the country of Jerusalem–greeting. I have heard of you and of your cures, performed without medicine and without herb; for, it is said, you make the blind to see and the lame to walk, you cleanse the lepers, you cast out evil spirits and demons, you heal those afflicted with lingering diseases, and you raise the dead. Now, as I have heard all this about you, I have concluded that one of two things must be true; either, you are God, and having descended from heaven, you do these things, or else, you are a son of God by what you do. I write to you, therefore, to ask you to come and cure the disease from which I am suffering. For I have heard that the Jews murmur against you, and devise evil things against you. Now, I have a very small but an excellent city which is large enough for both of us." Jesus was said to have written back: "Blessed are you for having believed in me without seeing me. For it is written concerning me that those who have seen me will not believe in me, while they who have not seen me will believe and be saved. But, as to your request that I should come to you, I must fulfil all things here for which I have been sent, and, after fulfilling them, be taken up again to him who sent me. Yet, after I am taken up, I will send you one of my disciples to cure your disease, and to give life to you and to yours." So, the legend goes on, Thaddeus went to Edessa and cured Abgar. It is only a legend, but it does show how men believed that even in distant Syria men had heard of Jesus and longed with all their hearts for the help and the healing which he alone could give.
Very naturally they came from Galilee, and the word about Jesus had spread south to Jerusalem and Judaea also, and they came from there. They came from the land across the Jordan, which was known as Peraea, and which stretched from Pella in the north to Arabia Petra in the south. They came from the Decapolis. The Decapolis was a federation of ten independent Greek cities, all of which, except Scythopolis, were on the far side of the Jordan.
This list is symbolic, for in it we see not only the Jews but the Gentiles also coming to Jesus Christ for what he alone could give them. Already the ends of the earth are gathering to him.
Matt. 4:23-25 (continued)
This passage is of great importance because it gives us in brief summary the three great activities of Jesus' life.
(i) He came proclaiming the gospel, or, as the King James and Revised Standard Version have it, he came preaching. Now, as we have already seen, preaching is the proclamation of certainties. Therefore, Jesus came to defeat men's ignorance. He came to tell them the truth about God, to tell them that which by themselves they could never have found out. He came to put an end to guessing and to groping, and to show men what God is like.
(ii) He came teaching in the synagogues. What is the difference between teaching and preaching? Preaching is the uncompromising proclamation of certainties; teaching is the explanation of the meaning and the significance of them. Therefore, Jesus came to defeat men's misunderstandings. There are times when men know the truth and misinterpret it. They know the truth and draw the wrong conclusions from it. Jesus came to tell men the meaning of true religion.
(iii) He came healing all those who had need of healing. That is to say, Jesus came to defeat men's pain. The important thing about Jesus is that he was not satisfied with simply telling men the truth in words; he came to turn that truth into deeds. Florence Allshorn, the great missionary teacher, said, "An ideal is never yours until it comes out of your finger tips." The ideal is not yours until it is realized in action. Jesus realized his own teaching in deeds of help and healing.
Jesus came preaching that he might defeat all ignorance. he came teaching that he might defeat all misunderstandings. He came healing that he might defeat all pain. We, too, must proclaim our certainties; we, too, must be ready to explain our faith; we, too, must turn the ideal into action and into deeds.

State officials closed Interstate 90 from Exit 10 in Spearfish to Exit 55 in Rapid City due to strong winds and blowing snow, but have since re-opened the section between Exits 44 and 10.. The State Departments of Transportation and Safety say winds are still very strong and it is still winter driving conditions in that re-opened stretch of road. The state says road and weather conditions around Spearfish and Sturgis have deteriorated and are expected to get worse overnight.

JOHN HANCOCK MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY CREDITORS COMMITTEE, CREDITORv.ROUTE 37 BUSINESS PARK ASSOCIATES ROUTE 37 BUSINESS PARK ASSOCIATES, DEBTOR US TRUSTEE, TRUSTEE JOHN HANCOCK MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLANT
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY. (D.C. Civil No. 91-04361).
Before: Greenberg, Alito, and Aldisert, Circuit Judges.
Author: Alito
Opinion OF THE COURT
ALITO, Circuit Judge :
This is an appeal by a creditor, John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Hancock"), that seeks to foreclose on a mortgage on property owned by Route 37 Business Park Associates ("debtor"), which has filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition. The bankruptcy court denied Hancock's motion for relief from the bankruptcy automatic stay, and the district court affirmed. We hold that Hancock's motion was incorrectly denied because the debtor's proposed plan contains an impermissible classification scheme for unsecured claims and thus has no reasonable prospect of confirmation. We will, therefore, reverse the order of the district court.
The debtor is a New Jersey partnership with three partners, all individuals. The partnership's main asset is an industrial and commercial park located on Route 37 in Toms River, New Jersey. In 1989, the debtor obtained a loan of $5,700,000 from Hancock to refinance the park. The loan is secured by a non-recourse first mortgage on the park.*fn1 The debtor failed to make several interest and tax payments, and in November 1990 Hancock began foreclosure proceedings in state court. A short time later, the debtor filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (1988), the petition operated as a stay of the foreclosure proceedings.
In March 1991, Hancock moved for relief from the stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1) and (2) (1988). The first provision on which Hancock relied, Section 362(d)(1), requires a bankruptcy court to grant relief if the creditor would not otherwise have "adequate protection" of an interest in the property in question. Hancock contended that its interest in the business park was not adequately protected, but this argument was rejected by the bankruptcy and district courts and is not before us in this appeal. The other provision on which Hancock relied, Section 362(d)(2), requires a bankruptcy court to grant relief from the automatic stay if the debtor has no equity in the property and the "property is not necessary to an effective reorganization." The debtor stipulated that it had no equity in the property, and therefore the critical question was whether the property was "necessary to an effective reorganization."
Before the district court ruled on Hancock's motion, the debtor filed a proposed plan of reorganization*fn2 and a disclosure statement. The disclosure statement listed Hancock's claim as approximately $5.9 million and listed the book value of the property as approximately $2.4 million and the liquidation value as $2.2 million. Since Hancock's claim was undersecured, the plan treated that claim in accordance with 11 U.S.C. § 506(a) (1988),*fn3 dividing it into a secured claim of $2.2 million and an unsecured deficiency claim of $3.7 million. The plan stated that this treatment would be modified if Hancock elected under 11 U.S.C. § 1111(b)(2) (1988) to have its entire claim treated as secured.*fn4
The plan proposed to create three classes of claims that are relevant for present purposes. Class Two consisted of the secured portion of Hancock's claim. Class Three was made up of all the unsecured claims other than Hancock's; these were estimated to total about $492,000. Class Four consisted of Hancock's unsecured claim of approximately $3.7 million. The plan called for identical payments on the Class Three and Four claims. Specifically, the plan stated that, unless Hancock made the election under 11 U.S.C. § 1111(b)(2) (1988), all of the holders of these claims were to receive 2.5% of their claims without interest 12 months after the effective date of the plan and another 2.5% without interest 12 months after that.
The plan also called for formation of a new, limited partnership called "Newco" to execute the plan. Newco's general partner was to be a corporation, and one or more of the debtor's partners were to be limited partners. The limited partners were to receive equity interests in Newco "in consideration, among other things, for the infusion of funds and other new value." The plan did not specify the amount that any of the partners would contribute.
Hancock argued that it was entitled to relief from the stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(2) (1988) because the plan improperly placed Hancock's unsecured claim and the other unsecured claims into two separate classes and consequently could not be confirmed. At a hearing in July, however, the bankruptcy court ruled that there was a reasonable possibility that the classification would be sustained at a confirmation hearing.
After a hearing in late August, the bankruptcy court ruled on Hancock's additional argument that the absolute priority rule set out in 11 U.S.C. § 1129(b)(2)(B)(ii) (1988) also prohibited confirmation of the plan because the plan allowed holders of junior claims (the debtor's partners) to receive or retain property (equity interests in Newco). The debtors responded that this feature of the plan was permitted by the "new value exception" to the absolute priority rule. Ruling in favor of the debtor, the bankruptcy court held that this exception had not been eliminated by the enactment of the Code and that there was a reasonable possibility the plan could satisfy this exception.
On appeal, the district court affirmed. It refused to disturb the bankruptcy court's ruling regarding the classification of unsecured claims, but it expressed skepticism "whether the classification proposed by the partnership would pass muster at a confirmation hearing." The district court stated that "the plan does present the appearance of classifying ...

As expected, Microsoft is busting out the Zune yesterday, and we've got the rundown.Microsoft (MSFT) is reminding the world that the Zune still exists, via a handful of new features.
They also finally let slip the screen an unsurprising QVGA and some better news on the codec front: the Zune supports h.264, MP3, AAC and WMA. As for ballyhoo, wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing is where the real action is at, and it works pretty much like we've been hearing: you can share a full-length track with a friend, and they've got three times to listen to it over a three day period, after which they can flag the song for purchase on the Zune Marketplace unless they're an unlimited "Zune Pass" subscriber, of course.
You can also share playlists and pictures with your buddies, along with what we suppose are "unprotected" homemade recordings. So far Microsoft isn't mentioning Live Anywhere functionality, but they do hint heavily at future software updates to take even better advantage of the wireless capabilities. Of course, it all really comes down to matching your Zune with that snazzy new fall wardrobe of yours, and to that end the Zune comes in black, brown and white.

"Russian diplomacy's cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church has a vast potential for the development of Russia's relations with countries of Orthodox tradition, especially within the CIS. Its boundaries largely repeat those of the canonical territory of the Moscow Patriarchy," Ivanov said speaking at the 8th World Russian National Council at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra Tuesday.
The minister supported the Church's initiative to hold the Second Inter-Religious Peace-Keeping Forum in March in Moscow, to be attended by participants from the CIS.
Ivanov also emphasized that "the Balkans have always been, and still are an area of Russia's foreign-political interests, and inter-church contacts are very important to protect those interests." According to him, the political dialog with Greece, for example, has become more active largely due to the Church's efforts.
"Our common Orthodox roots also make us acutely feel the pain of Kosovo," the minister noted.
"The interaction between our diplomacy and the Russian Orthodox Church is conditioned by an ages-long historic tradition," he said. According to him, this cooperation is based on our common concern about the preservation and consolidation of spiritual ties with our compatriots living outside Russia, about their rights and spiritual freedoms; this cooperation involves the proliferation of reliable information and other activities.
The joint efforts have yielded some important results by now. The minister mentioned the registration of the Estonian Orthodox Church, and a few steps to overcome the tragic division of the Russian Orthodox Church into the Domestic and Foreign Churches in the early 20th century.
"The religious factor is meant to contribute to the rapprochement of nations and peoples in the modern world," Ivanov said with conviction.

cally significant for any of the seven indicators, suggesting that the level of competition has limited impact on teacher involvement in school governance in the short run.
The results suggest that increases in competition do foster behavioral change in both school and district leadership. That said, this overall finding must be placed in context. First, the changes reported are generally slight to moderate, a finding consistent with Rofes ( 1998). Although competition has an impact, the short-run effect is not a massive one. Second, the observed changes may or may not be beneficial. Education scholars, for example, disagree over whether teachers should be encouraged to experiment with curriculum matters. Further, change itself may impede educational performance. That said, many of the changes observed-- increased emphasis on in-service training, professional development, and greater involvement by teachers in school governance--appear likely to be positive if pursued consistently and implemented thoroughly.
There are multiple long-run scenarios consistent with these short-run results. It is possible that these short-run changes will intensify across time and will have an impact on the teaching and learning core. Alternatively, these initial changes may be the extent of the likely reaction; additional changes will not be forthcoming, and these changes may not impact the classroom core.
Careful study of the early data from Arizona and Nevada suggests that charter school competition has impacted traditional public school districts in ways likely to be positive. Arizona schools facing potential competition experienced greater change than Nevada schools lacking competitive concerns, and Arizona schools that faced higher levels of actual competition were the most likely to have changed in significant ways. These findings help fill out part of the picture in Arizona; however, future research is needed to determine the extent and true impact of such changes.

After a six long weeks of summer holidays, I start my job as Nursery Class Teacher tomorrow.
Needless to say The Fear has well and truly kicked in at this point in time. However, I do have four days of INSET to ease myself in gently, or as gently as you can be eased in to the teaching profession.
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to it immensely and I can't wait to get stuck in and start applying some of the many ideas I've been dreaming of for months. But I am worried that I won't live up to my own expectations of myself… I'm just going to go in and do my best.
For now? An early night is in order.

The week has started with a little taste of what life is like in the developing world. I got up, dressed, then went to fetch water and wood. The great freeze has taken hold; yesterday we had no hot water, today we have no water. I hope it's just that the pipes are frozen and nothing more serious. There is one encouraging sign. Not only does the water not come out the tap, it doesn't go down the drain either.
This is just the latest event in a couple of weeks where everything I pick up, I drop. Everything that can shatter into a million pieces does. Sparks started coming out of my computer. We set the chimney on fire. I lose one thing, then find something else I'd lost earlier when looking for the first thing. Dinner has been burned more often than not. And so on and so forth.
I understand all of this is due to Mars being retrograde from 23rd January – 14th April. Only two more months to go then.

i celebrated my 31 birthday about two weeks ago and I received the best gift from Reagan. While out for a walk with nana, they found some of the first wild flowers of the season and brought a few back home from me. I am not normally one to get gooey over flowers but I loved these. I even pressed them in my sketchbook for safe keeping.
back in march on our way to Duluth, MN, my husband and I saw a spectacular moonrise. The moon was just about full and was a giant orange ball on the horizon. Sadly, I don't have a lens that could do justice to what we saw. Instead I just played around with my camera's aperture and shutter settings and took a few moonlight photos.
finally finished what I originally set out to do with my buffalo plaid bison. But in the process of getting there, I found some great ways to get more use out of the linocut—a "Go Bison" print and journal.
this last weekend my husband and I took a quick trip to Duluth, MN to visit some friends. Having graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth I have enjoyed many of the tourist attractions and therefore avoided most of them this trip. We did grab a coffee and walk Canal Park popping into a few local stores like, the Duluth Pack. I searched out my all-time favorite Chinese restaurant. It had sadly changed ownership. The food was good but not the same. My fortune cookie seemed to show this sad fact.
Agate hunting was our weekends main activity. During college I spent many hours combing beaches for this interesting stones and hiking the North Shore trails. It was wonderful to get the opportunity to do those things again and have such great weather—55 degrees in March!
We are hoping to get the chance to take another trip there this summer and do a little camping.
i picked up a tiny concrete city at the Unglued Craft Fest and they are currently adding a little charm to my kitchen window sill.
These adorable concrete houses were created by Chelsea of Raine Design. She is truly passionate about concrete and found objects—using both to create simple (often wearable) designs. Check out more of her wonderful small-scale creations here.
this mommy & me journal is an expanded idea from the love letters journal—which you can read about here and here.
While I don't want my baby girl to grow-up too fast, I cannot wait for us to become pen pals—exchanging this journal back and forth till it's full of tiny childhood memories. Then pulling the journal out again when she is much older and reminiscing. It will be such fun!

I have two beautiful, glorious days in which I do not work!! Hurrah!
I am really excited about not returning to the temp job. The people were friendly, but the stupid filing that just went on and on, ugh. And one of the people who directed me kept saying, oh I thought you might not come back today! And I kept thinking, dude, don't give me any ideas! Anyhow, now I get to sleep in, ooh for the rest of my week.
I leave in less than a week! This time next week I will be sound asleep in Brooklyn. How weird.
So work tonight was a disaster. Literally. For the first solid half-hour, everything went wrong. I spilled things, knocked things over, made drinks wrong, etc etc. It was awful. I should have cried. My coworkers were very patient and supportive, though, which was lovely. They are a good bunch.
Oh, I can't wait. To sleep in! To check things off my numerous lists! To go shopping! Eee!!

I wanted to try something a little different for today's lunch. I like to include a salad, but since these yummy corn tortillas have been sitting in the fridge for a while, it was only fair to let one of them get in on the fun, too!
I love red peppers, but instead of adding them onto this little creation, I used roasted red pepper hummus instead.
- Athenos roasted red pepper hummus
- Cucumbers
- Cherry tomatoes
- 1 corn tortilla
- President feta cheese
All I did was chop up the cucumber and tomatoes, then I spread the hummus over the tortilla and topped it with the veggies and a little bit of feta.
Looks delicious! But I still have so much spinach in the fridge, that I used it up too in a salad.
- Spinach leaves
- Green olives
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Pecans
- Feta

Hello! Thanks for reading. Welcome to my site. I'm Eleanor Snare and here you can learn more about why I do what I do.
First, I want to talk about ikigai. Ikigai roughly translates as "the reason for which I get up in the morning", and it's been identified as a contributor to long life expectancy and high levels of happiness.
My ikigai is to fulfil potential.
I want my clients to fulfil their potential. I want my allotment to fulfil its potential. I want to fulfil my potential in being a bread-baker, dress-maker and hip-shaker.
I can't do that for you. I can't make you get enough sales to retire to Bermuda, just as I can't make my courgettes grow to prize-winning sizes.
What I can do is take away as many barriers as possible that are stopping you from doing that work. What I can do is give you a helping hand over the obstacle when I can't take away the barrier.
I am here to take away the barriers stopping you fulfilling your potential.
The rest of it is up to you.
I used to be in a great rush to fulfil my potential, not really realising that – ssh, don't tell anyone – it can never be fulfilled.
Humans have a whole great universe inside them, and there will always be more we can do, see, think and know.
What I've discovered to be most important is that we enjoy fulfilling our potential. We enjoy the process, and stop treating life like a giant to-do list.
Rushing, reacting and stressing out about what we haven't achieved isn't enjoyable.
It's also not effective or fruitful.
My enjoyable, effective path through this maelstrom is one of sustainability.
Rather than busting a gut, pulling an all-nighter, or – my least favourite – 'hustling', I work in a sustainable way. I teach my students to work in a sustainable way, and show my clients how to do marketing in a sustainable way.
Sustainability is technically complex. But it can be intuitively simple.
Ask yourself:
Can I continue to do what I'm doing for the rest of my life without hurting myself, others, or my environment?
If your answer is "no", the thing you're doing is not sustainable. It will cause harm.
If your answer is "Oh, but I'll only do it this way for a week or so, it's just one late night, it's just this particular meeting…", then it is not sustainable. It will cause harm, even if you only do it for a week or so.
And from experience, unsustainable ways of working still generate results, and that means you keep doing them – even if it ends up hurting you in a very, very bad way.
I believe wholeheartedly in the sustainable approach.
Best practice can be everyday practice.
You can read about my sustainable approach to marketing in more detail here.
My Values
My values are simple. They are:
- Helping
- Learning
- Love
- Nature
- Play
I have a checklist of questions I use when starting a project which helps me work out whether the project fits with my values. I also have a checklist which helps me make the project as sustainable as possible.
If the project doesn't fit, I don't do it.
I work as a marketing consultant, a copywriter and a tutor. These paths opened up to me because I excel at communication and encouraging others, and I love doing it.
I work with creative businesses, like marketing agencies, designers and makers, because my expertise and education is in the arts.
For three days a week I'm a marketing consultant and copywriter, working with businesses to develop their marketing strategy and delivery, plus training their staff in good writing. For two days a week I teach at the University of Leeds as a Fashion Marketing tutor.
This website will give you support to help you market your creative business in a sustainable way. It will give take away barriers to fulfilling your potential, and encourage you to do just that.
It's a place for me to talk about new ideas which are interesting, useful or challenging and could inspire you to think differently.
I write about things which chime with my values. If they sound fun, you'll like this site.
Thanks for reading

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
I am a licensed real estate broker in St. Louis, MO. When I briefly relocated out of state I couldn't bear to part with my dream home and converted it to a luxury vacation rental.
Jeffrey Marquie purchased this estate in 2006
This is a serene location. I love to stay here when I need to get away from the city but need to stay close. Every piece of artwork and furniture were carefully hand selected.
Luxury can be affordable. Imagine saving the cost of 7 hotel rooms and everyone being able to stay under the same roof and socialize. The ability to prepare your own meals in a gourmet kitchen, dine together, relax together in a beautiful setting in harmony with nature.
We were very pleased with the home and the area. It was close to St. Louis which allowed for lots of opportunities to do a varity of activeties for both the adults and children.
The home was great for 14 of us to get together for a birthday celebration. The unexpected snow caused some issues with the very steep driveway. Several maintenance issues came up that can be easily remedied. Overall, a beautifully appointed place with room to spare!!
Spacious, beautifully decorated, perfect for a large group!
This was the third time we have stayed at the Estate. It is a perfect place for our family to meet for a Christmas celebration. It is secluded and in a beautiful setting. The home is equipped with everything one would need. Plenty of room for the eighteen of us.
House was very nice and well-maintained. It was also fully stocked, which was very nice as we were there over Thanksgiving. The location was very secluded in a nice wooded area, but reasonably close to the highway, making it a nice combination.
We really loved staying at your home in STL. The place really worked well for our family reunion. It was a beautiful weekend so we loved having the screened porch and deck. There was plenty of sleeping space. We would definitely consider going back to your home in a couple of years. Shane was great to work with and was very responsive.

text: Sunday night and the way things flow it's hours before we get bored. I can't lie Ms. LadyGlow, you attract me like no other; it's our chance at something special. But you are shy and I'm an unpredictable loon, so they say. Wrong. Oh that's wrong. Don't take quirks for a lack of interest; don't fall for the directness of a common thug. Transparency and tallness have their drawbacks. Don't listen to the echo of your DNA desires – it's time you understood where evolution ought to go. You and I have a future. We could have rhythm to topple all those arthritic drones. I like the flutter of your dress, the touch of the fabric, rose-print on silk, and I'm glad you avoid glitter, it's so adolescent. This first number's fast and made for flirting. Leonard Cohen had to wait for his miracle, but I'm witnessing one right in front of me. Your shoes don't move like an Earthling's shoes. Which planet gave you gravity, floating in a circle like Saturn's rings? I can't tell your skin under this light; it's dark chocolate or whip cream or olive with spice. I dance slow at the start but think fast on my feet, I whisper in your ear at a thousand miles an hour – so who needs to shout. I slicked my hair in the bathroom and now I've got my A-game out. Let's be honest, I dance because I like it when you like it. And I like us alone in a crowd. I dance on a mission, and every melody is a mission statement, varies by tempo, buttered with bass. So how much medicine – how many sentences - have I got to tame to make you heel?

The following steps may be helpful for reduce Plastic pollution:
1.Take no plastic bags from the grocer's shelf.
2.Refuse plastic bags at the check-out counter.
3.Don't buy plastic sandwich bags.
4.Buy beverages in sustainable containers.
5.Buy fresh produce in Mother Nature's wrappers (shell, rind, husk, etc.).
6.Give up Tupper Ware and related products.
7.Make a habit of thinking about what comes with each thing that you buy.
8.Make a habit of thinking more in general.
Last i want to say that Plastic causes serious damage to environment both during its production and disposal. So the only way to reduce the hazards of plastic is to reduce the use of plastic and thereby force a reduction in its production.

Wing/Avengers in Sci-Fi/Quartz-head 02/detroit7, SXSW 2008, March 14, 2008
When SXSW comes to downtown Austin, it's a rumbling of clashing rhythms and a cacophony of dueling bands. Charles Ives might have dug it.
Despite the festival's best efforts to provide sanctuaries away from all the posturing noise, a reminder of its rock 'n 'roll foundation is never far away. A number of shamisen performers at Japan Traditional Nite in 2006 had to compete with the neighboring bands pounding away on a patio. Even at the Steve Reich showcase, quieter moments of a piece allowed the noise from outside to bleed through the windows.
And so it was with Wing's debut at SXSW. Her showcase was housed in a room above a bar neighboring Maggie Mae's, where another band made a ruckus. Maggie Mae's actually hosted two other bands at the same time, so Wing's performance was assaulted by all sides.
How could she compete with that?
Toward the end of her showcase, the strain of trying to hear over the bleed through the floors and windows was starting to show, and the audience itself, engaged in the first half of her set, were tuning out as well.
Wing was armed only with a backing karaoke track and her gracious stage presence. Yes, she was behind many measures on some songs, but if I couldn't hear her, she probably couldn't hear herself either.
But she soldiered on and didn't let the distractions steer her away from the performance. In a festival where posturing is the first item of the agenda, Wing's imperfect, modest and earnest performance outshines even the biggest of egos. That crappy rock band playing around the corner yelling "Aw yeah, we're gonna rock toniiiiiight!!!!" has nothing on Wing's simple offering, "I hope you enjoy my performance. Thank you."
The Standing Room got it right when describing her previous performance at Café du Nord in San Francisco. Wing loves to sing for people, and she does so selflessly. As much as the audience was there for her, she was here more for us.
Japan Nite is always a tough showcase to get into, because the most of the audience show up early and don't leave. I'm usually one of those people, but this year, I could have gone home after watching Wing.
I listened to audio excerpts of the bands playing this year, and I was barely impressed. Avengers in Sci-Fi was the only one to catch my attention. Wing's showcase went a bit long, so I was stuck waiting in line. Luckily, I managed to catch the last half of Avengers' set.
The mix of electronics and rock guitars is not unprecedented — Boom Boom Satellites? Supercar? But Avengers in Sci-Fi had some fairly catchy songs, and they commanded the stage incredibly well. Singer/guitarist Kohato Taro navigated between twiddling the knobs on an effects generator and performing his main dual duties without a glitch.
Quartz-head 02 followed, and judging by the audio excerpts, I feared a dull stage show with a bunch of knob twiddling. My fears were warranted. The mostly mid-tempo electronica set wasn't very compelling. At one point, I muttered, "Pick up the damn pace!" Fujiwari Daisuke provided a few melodic comments on the electronic collages with some saxophone lines, but really, the only way this performance would have become interesting is if he did some jazz improvisation. The music was really calling for it.
After 20 minutes, I had enough and went to the patio to smoke.
detroit7 came on next, and I usually despise garage rock. It's what you get when talentless musicians can't do anything interesting with punk. I heard snippets of detroit7 years ago and passed on following up.
The only thing that really tethered me to the showcase was a cute guy in front of me who looked a little bit like Zach Gillford, who plays quarterback Matt Saracen on Friday Night Lights. I figured if I didn't like the set, I could always gawk at the guy.
Half way through the showcase, I stopped paying attention to the guy and started paying attention the music. detroit7 uses garage rock as a springboard to incorporate other styles. Some of the band's songs were downright danceable. The band saved its hardest songs for the end, and they got the audience jacked up.
I would have left if detroit7 ended up being another Thee Michelle Gun Elephant. (Or another Emeralds, for that matter.) They didn't.
I didn't stick around for Petty Booka because, really, how many times does SXSW have to invite them back? I also heard about 10 seconds of audio from ketchup mania to get immediately bored. Paul Ford's "Six-Word Reviews of 763 SXSW Mp3s" took the words right out of my mouth: "Utterly predictable girly Japanese punk."
I had wanted to catch Mexican band Panda at Dirty Dog, but I didn't want to have to wait till 1 a.m. I've gone to SXSW for 10 years now — I got my money's worth with Wing and Steve Reich. There's no onus for me to be such a soldier.
Out of the two Japan Nites at Elysium this year and the multiple Japan Bashes at the different venues my favorite ended up being the EBM sounds of Damage with Avengers in Sci Fi being my second favorite. I had gotten a flyer for Peelander Z last year but didn't make their show. I caught it this year and while I can't say there music is the best, it is fairly good and their stage show is unlike anything I've seen before.

I do some shopping at Target. Some of their things are such a good deal compared to walmart! I buy a bag of pistacios there that are $9.99 and walmart sells them for $12.89! Same exact thing. Then Target them on sale for $7.99 the other day so I stocked up!ReplyDeleteReplies
Score! I've found some pretty good buys there too!Delete
Oh, you know I'm a pen snob. Will definitely be picking one up on my next Target trip. I think we might have to schedule a mani sooner than later so I can check out this salon with you. ;) Oh Dustin and Pixie...so sweet. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Good thing I picked you up some of those pens, hope you like them :)Delete
I used to grocery shop at Target too when I first moved to Chicago and it was nice! Then we had this amaaazing grocery store open up that is worth fighting the crowds so I haven't been to Target for food in a while. It's been so cold here too this week! I'm typing this from my bed - I just can't bring myself to turn on the heat yet!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Nothing wrong with typing/reading in the warmth of bed! ;)Delete
Thank you so much for stopping by, I love reading your comments! I reply to all of you, but if you're a "no-reply" blogger I can't. Email me if you have questions :)

Posted on 04/12/2012 3:38:08 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
The government spent at least $205,075 in 2010 to translocate a single bush in San Francisco that stood in the path of a $1.045 billion highway-renovation project that was partially funded by the economic stimulus legislation President Barack Obama signed in 2009.
In October 2009, an ecologist identified a plant growing in a concrete-bound median strip along Doyle Drive in the Presidio as Arctostaphylos franciscana, the U.S. Department of Interior reported in the Aug. 10, 2010 edition of the Federal Register.
The busha Franciscan manzanitawas a specimen of a commercially cultivated species of shrub that can be purchased from nurseries for as little as $15.98 per plant. The particular plant in question, however, was discovered in the midst of the City of San Francisco, in the median strip of a highway approaching the Golden Gate Bridge, and was deemed to be the last example of the species in the wild.
Prior to the discovery of this wild Franciscan manzanita, the plant had been considered extinct for as long as 62 year--outside of peoples yards and cultivated botanical gardens.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
This smacks of money laundering which our government seems to be very good at.
Only if it was Bush's bush.
Umm....once you "translocate it it isn't "wild" anymore.
Stupid seems to be the only thing not fleeing California.
I love it when the liberal a-holes of San Fran get screwed!!
Oh ... come on !!! The money spent was ABSOLUTELY justified ...
First, ya gotta have the Environmental Impact Statement, then ya gotta have public hearings, then ya gotta defend the project in court, then ya gotta have the court appeals, FINALLY ya gotta cut the check to the Obama 2012 campaign ...
All in all - money WELL spent ...
The level of waste and fraud of Government is nearly endless. Cull 75% of the useless Government workers, let cities privatize their services based on a tax base that's flat.
Did they take this plant via Lambroghini?

Did they take this plant via Lambroghini?
... or the plant dropped out of someone's car, landed on the median, and took root.
It was transplanted by 1 laborer without papers making minimum wage....
How do they know that a resident didn't buy a $16 plant for his yard, and that propagated itself to the highway center median? Nature spreads plants on the wind all the time. Bet it was originally a store-bought planting.
Almost a quarter of a million dollars to move a plant?
Relate that to the amount of taxes collected from each of you hard working FReepers every year. NOT including consumption tax, license fees, property taxes etc., I pay around $20,000 a year. Add the rest of the taxes and we might have $35k.
At that rate it would take over 7 years of my work to pay to move that plant.
That's Sick.
Thanks fanfan.

If this is your first time here, you can read earlier posts here.
We're discussing Exodus 22:27 and 23:1-3, Exodus 23:6-10 and Leviticus 19:15-16. I said that Torah prohibits backbiting by criticizing (negatively) court decisions.
You're saying, but that's a restriction on free speech. Doesn't Jewish law protect free speech?
In fact somebody on a discussion group once put it more strongly; how could he be a halakhic Jew and still preserve his rights of free speech and thought under the Constitution?
Well, the thought thing was a strawman fallacy. Jewish law never penalizes feelings and the only problem with thoughts deals with violating rules on sacrifices. It sometimes punishes actions. So let's just talk about free speech.
The poster still set up a strawman fallacy because there are forms of speech that the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution doesn't protect. Falsehood is not protected when it leads to damages. That's the subject of defamation suits, false advertising suits, fraudulent misrepresentation suits. Threats are not protected; that's the doctrine of "clear and present danger", leading to criminal trials against verbal bullies and people who make threats against the government.
Torah does not protect power-mongering based on negative representations of court proceedings. If the witnesses have not been impeached and the court has observed due process, then a personal loss is just that, a personal loss. The person who can't take a personal loss, but has to pretend that society has been damaged by it, has a character flaw.
Harsh? I'll give you a for instance. When the Mendel Beilis trial of 1913 ended in acquittal of Beilis, one of the prosecuting attorneys said in Beilis' hearing "Russia is destroyed."
This attorney had been trying since 1906 to have reinstated a law that allowed trying people for "religious fanaticism" because he believed that ritual murder existed and was currently in practice by Jews. The verdict in the Beilis case rejected ritual murder. I've translated the transcript, I know how the charge was worded, and that's how I know what it meant. See my essay "Endgame." This attorney was a bigot who thought that if the government wouldn't support his bigotry, it was incompetent.
Well, the government was incompetent, and events from 1905 through 1915 proved that, but not in the sense the attorney meant. In fact the Beilis trial was not an example of due process. All the testimony and evidence against Beilis was either faked or "empty rumors". The witnesses who spoke against Beilis were impeached on the witness stand and some of them co-operated in proving that their depositions had been forged by the government. The behavior of the entire "legal system" in the Beilis case demonstrated to Russian citizens that they could not count on fair play in court, no matter who they were. That along with everything else going on in Russia from 1905 to 1915 made it impossible for the Romanovs to hold onto their throne, even with foreign troops to help.
That is a constant theme in history. Governments that set out to oppress the Jews wind up oppressing everybody.
For next week read as much of Leviticus 1-4 as you can get under your belt. I will slice and dice it for you, and this is not the entire context, but I'll get to the rest of the context after next week.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) After several months of indirectly taking shots at each other, Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Warner and Republican challenger Ed Gillespie traded jabs in person Saturday at their first debate.
The pair battled over immigration, energy, the federal budget, and same-sex marriage— while sparring throughout the debate over which candidate has been more partisan.
Warner blasted the former Republican National Committee chairman for his past lobbying clients, including Enron, and said Gillespie would contribute to continued congressional gridlock.
"The last thing Washington needs is a partisan warrior," Warner said.
Gillespie charged Warner, a former Virginia governor, of being a "blank check" for the Obama administration who hadn't kept his promises to be a bipartisan legislator.
"Gov. Warner wouldn't recognize Sen. Warner today," Gillespie said.
The 90-minute debate took place in front of a few hundred Virginia lawyers at the exclusive Greenbrier hotel resort in West Virginia, where the Virginia Bar Association held its annual summer meeting.
Warner, who raised nearly $10 million in the first six months of this year compared with $4.2 million by Gillespie, is considered the front-runner. But Republicans are hoping President Barack Obama's sagging popularity will help them gain a seat in the Senate. The GOP needs six seats to grab control of the chamber. Gillespie's strategy has been to tie Warner to Obama's record, in particular the Affordable Care Act.
The Virginia contest has so far failed to draw many headlines, thanks to Warner's sizable lead in polls. Washington-based groups that have poured money into competitive Senate races around the country have stayed out of Virginia.
Libertarian candidate Robert Sarvis was not invited to the debate.

Safety Signs News
Pupils commended for road safety sign
4th July 2011 | Health and Safety Signs
Posted by Nicole Stevens
A number of pupils in Enfield have been commended by their local council's environment chief after they designed their own safety signage for roads.
Young learners from Southbury School in Swansea Road met their cabinet member for environment last month and drew pictures to persuade slower driving in a 20mph zone around the school, reports the Enfield Independent.
Speaking to the newspaper, Mr Bond said: "Southbury's new 20mph zone is among the first of a new £1 million programme designed to make our streets safer for children. The sign says it all – slow down, speed can kill."
The Southbury school's 20mph zone is one of eight low-speed areas that aim to improve road safety around 13 institutions.
Last month, West Briton revealed that councillors in Helston have been criticised for banning promotional signs in the area.
The signs were banned by councillors over worries that they look untidy and could become a distraction.

G'day everyone. Thought I'd throw together a report from a couple trips this week with some snapshots. I aimed capitalised on the decent weather conditions before the looming cyclone system arrived. I was feeling positive after reading some weekend reports, a few fish were around but bait might be difficult to tempt. My destination was Arra with a selection of dead and hopefully live baits on the menu in search of a spanish.
Turns out baits were is abundance, probably the most I've seen off Arra in a long while. Two drops of the jig and the tube was full, time to start my trolling routes. Within 10 minutes of trolling my daydreaming was interrupted by a large splash, followed by the ratchet screaming to life. A nice run, some solid weight and head shakes indicated a decent spanish was on the other end.
After checking out the footage from the morning I noticed I had captured the airborne strike just over my shoulder, which a nice surprise. Slow and steady I worked it in, turns out the fish was hooked awkwardly in the pectoral fin that made for a less conventional fight. A decent fish of 122cm was in the hatch, a perfect start to the morning.
Happy with my first result I continued to fish on. It seemed the spotties were out in force this morning as well, hitting my baits within moments of touching the water. I was satisfied with keeping 1 and releasing 3, leaving the fish biting and returning to shore.
With the fish and bait cooperating, it was hard to resist getting out onto the water again for another session. I had my fill of spotties and decided to focus on bigger baits for spanish again. I was blessed with some perfect extra large pike and wasn't long before we were in business once more. Another good spanish in the 120s caught in the same area as my previous 2 this season.
This fish gave a stellar performance and I managed to capture this cool shot too.
After a few more spotties released and I called it. A couple of fantastic mornings, thanks for reading.

Having a certification lets your client know that they will be taken cared by a professional and that they are in good hands.

The Gators open their season September 3, at home against Florida Atlantic. However, Muschamp says, "Honestly, I've had a hard time looking ahead. We've had so much on our plate from installation on both sides of the ball, special teams, managing our team....offseason programs, spring practice, and recruiting every day. We certainly look forward to the opener. It'll be over 90,000 in the Swamp....the best place to play college football."
Channel 2's Anthony Amey interviewed University of Florida Head Football Coach Will Muschamp. Muschamp, a former Georgia Bulldog, is about to start his first season as coach of the Gators.
A dig at his alma mater? Perhaps. But that was nothing compared to his response after I asked him how he planned on continuing Florida's dominance of UGA in their series (the Gators have won 18 of the last 21 meetings): "It's great to play in the Gator Bowl. It's named after the Gators....we need to play well there."
A noticeable smirk was present as Muschamp said this. Game on...and more proof that college football season truly runs 365 days a year in the Deep South. FYI, UGA-Florida's next matchup is October 29 in Jacksonville.

At the recent JISC LMS event, we were asked to produce a one-minute pitch of our projects, so here goes for #swwhepsrch
What is swwhepsrch?
This project is a case study on the implementation of VuFind as a shared resource discovery platform for the three university libraries in the South West Wales Higher Education Partnership (SWWHEP) : Swansea University, Swansea Metropolitan University and Trinity University College, Carmarthen (now part of the University of Wales Trinity St.David).
Why a shared discovery platform?
The aim of SWWHEP is to establish greater collaboration and cooperation between the member institutions, in order to improve and expand services available to their staff and students in an efficient and cost-effective manner. For the SWWHEP library project, this involves providing users with greater and easier access to resources across the three institutions, through various means including a common RFID self-service environment, a document delivery service between institutions and full reciprocal borrowing.
To facilitate common access to resources, we need a common discovery service. To improve upon the discovery services already available, we need a next-generation interface. After examining various options, the project decided to implement the discovery interface using the Open Source VuFind product, backed up with the propriortary Metalib/SFX product for searching electronic resources.
Why VuFind and Why OpenSource?
VuFind provided most of the next-generation functionality we were looking for, and in our opinion stood up well against the commercial options. Being an open source product, there was no purchase cost, which was important given our fixed budget. More importantly, it gave us the ability to tailor it to our needs as much as we needed or desired. The most important part aspect of this was enhancing the product so that it communicates with the institutions' three separate library management systems simultaneously, since it is the LMSs which provide live availability data and allow users to renew materials, place reservations and check their library accounts. The flexibility offered by open source also allowed us to make other changes to the interface in order to provide a library catalogue that is significantly better than any of those previously on offer.
The choice of VuFind also gave the university libraries an opporunity to try open source on a relatively small scale as a possible prelude to considering it for other applications, possibly even a full library management system.
Where next?
The new catalogue – branded iFind Discover – is now in beta test and we will be monitoring and reporting on user reaction. First-line support for the product has been transferred from the SWWHEP project to library IT staff, but there will continue to be a program of enhancements implemented on a monthly basis.
Luke O'Sullivan, who carried out most of the development work, recently attended the VuFind developer's conference at Villanova University in the USA, and we are hopeful that some of his work, particularly regarding the multi-system connection, will become part of the main product and readily available to other library consortia across the world.

iFind Discover in "live Beta"
iFind Discover went into "live beta" at Swansea University last week! It now appears in place of Voyager on library OPACs and links from the library home page, although there is still a link back to the "classic catalogue" for those who want it.
There has been a good flow of feedback – mostly positive and constructive – and Luke has been dealing with issues as they arise. We are in the process of doing a new full dataload, with tweaked parameters, which should resolve some questions from users.
Although the SWWHEP project team is still working on improvements and fixes, first-line support is now being handled by Swansea University's library systems team.

A Heanor charity has placed a bin in the Costcutter store on the market place in a bid to get donations for its food bank.
Sue Clarke, manager of Salcare, is pictured here with Costcutter staff Dawn Parkin, Tracey Young and Emma Beckett at the launch of the campaign.
Sue said: "What we're hoping is that people will drop one tinned or packaged item in - even stuff like toiletries. Really it's whatever people can spare. A lot of people who we're helping are people who have fled domestic violence - who have nothing."
Salcare is a local charity that has been helping those in need or on low incomes in Amber Valley for over 30 years.
