Why is the passive voice used here, instead of the middle?

S&H says that κάρη and μέτωπα are accusatives of specification. Could not be just direct objects of ἔχει?

Could not be just direct objects of ἔχει?
The second aorist in -ην is primarily intransitive and shows active inflection (as ἔστην stood). Many so-called passive forms are in fact merely intransitive aorists of active verbs, as ἐρρύην from ῥέω flow, κατεκλίνην from κατακλί_νω lie down, and do not differ in meaning from the aorists of deponent verbs, as ἐμάνην from μαίνομαι rage.
The aorists in -θην that are called passive are often active or middle in meaning, as ἥσθην took pleasure in from ἥδομαι, ᾐσχύνθην felt ashamed from αἰσχύ_νω disgrace, αἰσχύ_νομαι am ashamed; ὠργίσθην became angry from ὀργίζω anger.
Paul Derouda wrote:I don't think you would call τὴν σφαῖραν βάλλω accusative of specification/respect.
πόδας ὠκὺς Ἀχιλλεύς is famous case of "accusative of respect": Achilles, swift with respect to his feet = swift-footed.
Anyway, I think you can really interprete this in two ways.
Qimmik wrote:I checked (admittedly rather casually) the Prendergast and Dunbar concordances to the Iliad and Odyssey, respectively. I found only one instance of a sigmatic aorist for the verb τέρπω: Od. 12.188:
ἀλλ᾽ ὅ γε τερψάμενος νεῖται καὶ πλείονα εἰδώς.
Forms based on roots taking the -ην aorist forms in the indicative otherwise prevail:
τερφθ-, ταρπ-, ταρφθ-
Do you think, Bill, there would have been a difference in meaning had Homer written
ἀλλ᾽ ὅ γε ταρφθεὶς νεῖται καὶ πλείονα εἰδώς.
The accusative is a form of defining or qualifying the verb.
A noun stands in the accusative when the idea it expresses is most immediately (in contrast to the dative) and most completely (in contrast to the genitive) under the influence of the verbal conception (in contrast to the nominative).
Paul Derouda wrote:EDIT: I see Victor got there before me. Anyway, I think you can really interprete this in two ways.
Markos wrote:Anyway, I think you can really interprete this in two ways.
You almost always can. You can always see Greek from several different angles of meta-language.
Qimmik wrote:If κάρη and μέτωπα are direct objects, ὑπερ must be a preposition (or more accurately a postposition), not a pre-verb in tmesis. In that case, ὑπερ ought to be accented ὕπερ, shouldn't it? The fact that editors accent it ὑπὲρ suggests that they consider it a direct object. This is one instance where the distinction between direct object and accusative of respect actually makes a difference in the printed text, if I'm not mistaken (which I could well be).
Allen (1917), von der Muehll (1945) and van Thiel (1991) all read ὑπὲρ, suggesting that they understand κάρη and μέτωπα as accusatives of respect, not direct objects.
Did you mean "suggests that they consider it a preverb in tmesis"?
Many later editors, though, do seem to accent ὑπὲρ, don't they? Confusingly for me, though, that includes Merry, whose note clearly indicates that he regards hyper as a postposition. Are we to see this simply as an oversight and he meant to write ὕπερ, or does he regard the intervening δ᾽ as something that would annul the need for a recessive accent?
Qimmik wrote:paroxytonization (to coin a word)
Paul Derouda wrote:Victor, which book do you actually mean by Merry? Merry-Riddell or the school commentary by Merry alone?
Paul Derouda wrote:I suppose that Merry is just mistaken.
Qimmik wrote:I used money from a prize to buy the Monro and Merry school editions--my proudest possessions at 14--and I still have them after 53 years.
Paul Derouda wrote:Smyth doesn't mention anything about intervening words annulling the need for anastrophe. I suppose that Merry is just mistaken.
Ancient grammarians, and modern editors, disagree as to whether disyllabic prepositions and preverbs that receive an acute on the first syllable in anastrophe do so even when one or more words intervene between the word governed by the preposition/preverb and the preposition/preverb itself.
Qimmik wrote:But for me, the parallel to Il. 3.210 is very compelling, and I think that the idea in the Odyssey is that Artemis is taller than her companions, not that she holds her head higher. (The "holds her head higher" reading seems to me to trivialize the comparison.)
Victor wrote:I'm still siding with Stanford.
Paul Derouda wrote:Wait! What do mean "still"? Doesn't Standord actually agree with us, i.e. that it is a case of tmesis. "She overtops them etc.", not "hold her head etc"?
Concerning anastrophe, we read differing precepts and judgments of the grammarians in the scholia. Herodian's teaching carried more weight among those who followed him, but it shouldn't be accepted everywhere; for he established certain excessively artificial rules, such as that anastrophe doesn't occur if a particle or another word comes in between the noun and the postposition, or if the postposition is elided. These rules were unknown to Aristarchus, to Ptolemy [Ascalonites], and to Nicias. . . . Aristrarchus and his teacher Aristophanes [of Byzantium] were certainly closer to the living tradition of the rhapsodes, and moreover they had a better feeling for what the accents were, when their musical quality had not yet been converted into a stress quality.
αὐτὰρ ἐπεὶ σίτου τάρφθεν δμῳαί τε καὶ αὐτή Why is the passive voice used here, instead of the middle?
πασάων δ᾽ ὑπὲρ ἥ γε κάρη ἔχει ἠδὲ μέτωπα, S&H says that κάρη and μέτωπα are accusatives of specification. Could not be just direct objects of ἔχει?

The Sierra Sands Unified School District Board of Education will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. to consider a resolution to advocate for local control of funding for the education of district students.
The Sierra Sands Unified School District Board of Education will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. to consider a resolution to advocate for local control of funding for the education of district students.
With the passage of Proposition 30, Gov. Jerry Brown intends to increase per-student funding for the first time in more than five years. The proposal for a new distribution system makes it difficult to assess how the new dollars will be applied. The governor has proposed a local-control funding formula.
The board will also consider several personnel matters.
The first is a request to approve the nonreelection of certificated personnel with less than a preliminary credential as a result of a 2006 decision of the California Fifth District Court of Appeals. The decision changed the manner in which teachers with less than preliminary teaching credentials are re-employed for the following year.
The next is a waiver request enabling the district to assign individuals in certificated positions without appropriate credentials.
The third item is a resolution authorizing the district to reassign certificated administrators to other administrative positions for the 2013-14 school year.
Also on the agenda are the presentations of initial contract proposals for a successor collective-bargaining agreements for 2013-15 from the Desert Area Teachers Association and the board.
The board will also consider a request to extend the deadline for the early retirement notification incentive for 2012-13 from Feb. 1 to March 28.
Following Construction Management Consultant Bruce Auld's report on Measure A and other construction activities and issues, the board will consider the appointment of replacement members to the Citizen's Oversight Committee.
The committee is recommending Ken Amster to replace Arlene Decker, in the category requiring a parent of a child enrolled in the district and being actively involved in a parent-teacher organization and Carter Pope to replace Kelly Curtis representing the business community.
The board will also consider approval of contracts for telecommunication services, internet services, data services,and web hosting supported by E-Rate.
The Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism, known as E-Rate, provides discounts to assist schools and libraries in the United States in obtaining affordable telecommunication services and Internet access.
Also on the agenda is a resolution allowing the district to seek proposals for trash hauling services.
The board will also consider acceptance of 2011-12 audit reports for the Sierra Sands Unified School District and the Inyo-Kern Schools Financing Authority.
Any materials required by law to be made available to the public prior to the meeting can be inspected during normal business hours at the district office located at 113 W. Felspar Ave. These materials can also be viewed on the district's Internet website at www.ssusd.org.
The meeting will take place in the Ridgecrest City Council Chambers.

BETHEL TOWNSHIP � The lone occupant in a Chevrolet HHR died Wednesday afternoon in a single car crash and fire on Kosmerick Road, just before 4 p.m.
Branch County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) Deputy Nick Rose was responding to a breaking and entering call as he was headed east on Kosmerick. it was then when he saw smoke alongside the road. He discovered the car on fire and the driver trapped inside.
Deputy Rose attempted to get into the locked vehicle as the fire spread from the engine compartment toward the back but was unable to do so before flames engulfed the vehicle. He did try to extinguish the fire without success. The BCSO says the doors were pinned shut from the impact.
"Upon Bronson Fire Department's arrival, the vehicle was fully involved in flames," a release from the BCSO says. "Bronson Fire used the Jaws of Life to open the door once the fire was extinguished."
The driver appeared to be male but it will take medical and dental records to positively identify him once a tentative identification is made. An autopsy has been scheduled. Rose thought there was an Indiana tag on the car when he tried to get into the back hatch. The metal tag melted in the flames.
Tire tracks showed the car was headed east when it went off the south side of the roadway and then lost control as it came back onto the asphalt before it slammed into a large tree on the north side of the road. The engine compartment was pushed back into the front seat. It is believed the driver died on impact.
An investigation into the crash is underway. It occurred a quarter-mile west of Brooks Road.
Lone occupant burned beyond recognition Medical records will be used to identify victim

Have a look at these high scoring plays in scrabble courtesy Nick Keller via Scrabulizer. They are possible but not probable. If you manage to get Oxyphenbutazone across the entire length of the board you net a whopping 1778 points.
What is Scrabble?
Scrabble is essentially a word game which can be played by 2-4 players at a given time on a board which comprises a grid of squares in a 15 X 15 format. The squares are assigned different scoring attributes. There are 100 tiles to draw from and players must draw 7 tiles initially and maintain the same number on their racks till they are exhausted. Each tile has a point value attached to it. If all 7 tiles are used in a word an additional 50 points is added to the players score. The goal is to win by scoring more than your opponent. Scrabble is now increasingly played competitively across several countries on the globe and in several languages.

Those Handy Pyramid Words!
Pyramid words are words which start at 2 letters but can be extended to 7 letters and beyond. For example take the word loofahs, we start with lo, next we get to loo, followed by loof, loofa, loofah and loofahs. Thus by knowing loofahs we get to know a total of 6 words. Other examples include:
Abasers, Amenders, Amusers, Barbers, Bingers, Chained,
Chiasmal, Daledhs, Divests, Erasers, Fasties, Godsons, Hookahs, Jambees, Jamboks, Kaingas, Kinases, Lapsers, Maliced, Mentors, Nursery, Parkiest, Poleyns, Reeders, Reposes, Singers, Skaters,Tapetis, Teasers, Ureases, and Woosells.
There are some reverse pyramid words too. Take the word drooped for example, we start with ed, then ped, then oped, then ooped, rooped and finally drooped.Other examples include:
Aemules, Afeared, Borates, Cleared, Demures, Escapes, Glaired, Hamates, Lemures, Mananas, Penates, Retapes, Scraped, Testates, Upreach, Vacates, Whooped, Yslaked and Zananas.

Kyler Steinkamp would have qualified for State last year had he high jumped in any other Regional. Instead, he was behind four competitors, all of whom placed at the state track and field meet.
Steinkamp figures to be a leading athlete for Augusta's track team, which opens its season today with the Early Bird meet at home with Andover and Circle.
Today will be one of the few chances coach Steve Reichardt gets to see all his kids, including young athletes, in action after weather has spoiled a lot of practice time.
"They're a fun group. They showed up very strongly on spring break,. They want to be here," Reichardt said, "but we've got a lot of unknowns...and we're very young, especially on the girls' side. But we have kids who are going to get after it."
The Orioles lost a plethora of seniors who handled most of the key roles for the boys team last year. Steinkamp figures to be one of the mainstays. He'll run the 200-meter dash along with the high jump.
Senior Reese Willis will be a crucial runner for the Orioles in the sprints and likely some relay races, as well. Trae Goken, who will be competing in track and playing baseball this spring, also should be a key runner and possibly handle a field event or two.
Tyler Hammond really came on strong as a hurdles racer as a freshman last year. Reichardt is counting on him to be competitive in those races.
For the girls, there are no seniors on the team. But though young, there are some Orioles who could emerge as tough competitors this season. Junior Bailey Reichardt has improved every year in the sprints. Hannah Albright, though only a sophomore, has plenty of experience both during and outside the school season. She will handle some hurdles races and possibly some field events. Reichardt also said there are some freshman girls who could step up and take over the shorter sprint races.
'It's going to take some patience and some time," Reichardt said about getting the younger girls into competition.
As with just about any sport, Reichardt wants to keep the track team focused every day to do the little things to improve. Part of that is setting mini-goals, and part of that is attitude.
"Keep everything positive," Reichardt said about his approach with the younger team. "Keep everything positive. 'How are you doing?' and 'Did you improve? Are you getting better?' It's not 'I got sixth, or eighth or didn't place.' ... "That's the main thing we really look is if your personal best is getting better."

#54 John Simon - Defensive Line/End - The Ohio State University
he capped his career by being named the Big Ten Conference's 2012 Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year Award...he was also named the Big Ten's 2012 Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year after leading the Big Ten in quarterback sacks (9.0 for minus-73 yards) and ranking second with 14.5 tackles-for-loss, totaling minus-87 yards ... his sacks and TFLs each ranked among the Top 25 nationally ... those numbers also boosted Simon to No. 7 all-time at Ohio State in both categories, with 20.5 sacks and 43.0 TFLs ...
Currently ranked #12 by http://walterfootball.com/draft2013DE.php and flying under the radar on many other draft sites.
Here he is vs Nebraska in 2012.
And here he is vs Seattle's favorite son back in 2011
He has all the cliche traits you would look for in a player (i.e "high motor, plays with heart, relentless, aggressive"). May be a bit undersized (heard that before). The latest mock by http://www.drafttek.com/2013-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round4.asp had him going in round 4. I would love to see us take a chance on this guy. Thoughts?

As the Boulder Valley school board develops new district goals, themes that community members want to see incorporated include more individualized learning, more focus on early childhood and less dependence on test scores to measure success.
Altogether, 112 community members, students, educators and school board members participated in a 12-hour community listening session, held over two days earlier this month. A report on the session, released this week, will serve as the basis for goal development at a school board work session set for 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Concerns highlighted in the report include that the district is making little progress in closing the achievement gap, that older students are too stressed and that there's not enough sharing of what works among schools.
Participants said they want to see the Boulder Valley School District become the first large district to close the achievement gap for poor and minority students, to be recognized as a model for creativity and innovation and to focus on student strengths instead of weaknesses.
They also want an early childhood education system with at least one preschool classroom in every elementary school, along with a commitment to focus on each child's individual needs -- from those who are gifted to those who are below grade level.
Participant Chris Barge, director of the school readiness initiative at the Community Foundation serving Boulder County, was among those who proposed kindergarten readiness and reading at grade level by third grade as goals.
"We see a lot of potential for this community to really move the achievement gap for the first time," he said.
He said he appreciated that the session honored the diverse perspectives of those who attended.
"I'm hopeful and inspired by the decision to take an out-of-the-box approach," he said. "A lot is on the line, especially improving outcomes for kids who are most at risk."
Another participant, Louisville parent Debra Goldberg, said she attended to represent the gifted community. Gifted students, she said, are routinely discriminated against in schools and, by not being challenged, aren't learning important life skills like perseverance.
"I came out of it thinking that we were all saying many of the same things," she said. "We have kids not being looked at as the individuals that they are. We really need to be open to find ways to individualize learning."
Once the school board and superintendent reach consensus on a proposed set of long-range goals, the goals will be shared for comment at the "BVSD Listens" website, bvsdlistens.com. In-person community engagement sessions, including one in Spanish, are planned in January.
Superintendent Bruce Messinger said he was pleased with the quantity and diversity of the input. He said he also liked that he and the board members could sit with different groups as they talked through their ideas.
"It really put us in a listening mode," he said. "We wanted to hear those values."

With crazy schedules and little down time, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and reach for the junk foodŠbut according to bettereats.com, fattier foods will only increase stress levels.
Here are picks for feeling the zen:
The potassium and monosaturated fats found in avocados are known for lowering blood pressure. Toss avocados into a salad or spread on a sandwich.
Leafy Vegetables
Why? Spinach and kale provide replenishing vitamins, which will perk you up far better than a cup of coffee. Plus spinach is loaded with magnesium which keeps you from feeling fatigued. Throw veggies in with a pasta dinner.
Complex Carbs
There's a good reason while some crave pizza when stressed. Carbohydrates tell the brain to release serotonin. No, this does not mean you should reach for a slice of takeout cheesy bread, but it does mean to look for whole grains. Try a whole grain breakfast cereal or oatmeal before you leave the house or enjoy a bowl of whole grain pasta with veggies at dinner. If you are looking to venture outside of the usual dinner-time pasta, Quinoa is a fabulous alternative.
Oranges are loaded with vitamin C, which has been shown to stabilize cortisol levels and blood pressure. Enjoy orange slices on a demanding day; they are sweet and will help you return to normal when you feel a mini-meltdown coming on.
Hot Tea
Studies have shown that tea drinkers are calmer and have lower levels of cortisol found in their body. Plus, the warmth of tea can have a soothing effect in times of worry. Reach for herbal teas like black tea or green tea, and add just a dash of honey for sweetness.
Fish like salmon contain high levels of good-for-you omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can help prevent spikes in stress hormones. Think fish is a dinner-only food? Think again. Try a breaking egg and salmon sandwich.

FOX has improved the accuracy of its programming by not renewing Palin's contract.
What joy! The shrieking Sarah Palin, the voice like fingernails on a blackboard, has not had her contract renewed!
How she could have been a political commentator defies logic or imagination.
Even though she attended various colleges for six years, supposedly majoring in journalism, she had no foundational knowledge of history, geography, language, or logic. She did not seem to care much about accuracy in reporting, critical thinking, or drawing logical conclusions. This is not just my opinion, but from the members of the McCain campaign who tried to tutor and prepare her for the campagn. They gave up.
She was good looking. She could have been a standup comic. But not a vice president a breath away from being the leader of the USA. She could deliver a cutting barb---remember the laughs she got over hockey moms being "Pitbulls with lipstick." Funny? Maybe? Leadership? Thoughtfulness? Wisdom? Not a clue!
Truth was not her forte, either. Remember her claim that the Affordable Care Act meant the ill or aged would have to come before Death Panels? I don't know if her intent was to lie, or if she simply did not understand. Maybe the latter, as she could not name anything she read to Katie Couric?
But her career as the champion caustic remark tosser, the screech of misinformation and of non-sensical babbling is silenced, at least on FOX. The woman who never met a sentence she could not mangle is no longer masquerading as a political analyst or commentator. Congratulations FAUX News.

Did 76ers center Andrew Bynum cause further damage - including a new bone bruise and cartilage damage – to his knees while bowling?
According to a report on ESPN.com, this might be the case. Citing multiple sources, ESPN.com reported that Bynum, who has yet to play for the Sixers, may have caused himself further damage while bowling.
There are several activities that are prohibited in standard NBA player contracts, but bowling is not one of them. Bynum is known to enjoy bowling, ESPN.com reported.
On Friday, Bynum reported that he experienced a setback in his recovery. Already hampered by a bruised bone in his right knee, Bynum said that he has also suffered a similar injury in his left knee. Bynum is scheduled to begin basketball related activities in early Dec.

A long-term relationship between Red Frog Events and Dover Motorsports was announced Sunday - the final day of the 2013 installment of the Firefly Festival.
As the first bands were setting up to play Sunday morning, Dover Motorsports President Mike Tatoian announced a 10-year agreement with Red Frog Events that the Dover International Speedway would be the exclusive home of the Firefly Music Festival.
"Because of the success of last year, and the anticipated success of this year," Tatoian said, "rather than negotiating a contract every year we thought it would be best to negotiate some general terms that both sides are favorable to for the next ten years so we don't have to repeat that same thing over and over again."
The details of the deal are still being discussed but some of the options include a cancellation clause for Red Frog Events each year. But we do know this much: Firefly will return for a third year at The Woodlands June 20-22, 2014.
Red Frog said it was pleased with the grounds and its ability to adjust to continued growth.
"We're really happy delivering the similar experience that we had last year – and even an elevated experience – to twice as many people," said Firefly Festival Director Greg Bostrom.
It is estimated that this year's event brought in more than 65,000 people to the capital city of the first state and Bostrum expects even more music fans to attend next year.
With so many people in town for the three days of the festival, Tatoian added that the benefits of the festival reach far beyond Red Frog and the Speedway as people get to know the town and spend money while they're here.
"There are 50 states and [several] countries represented, and not to say that they wouldn't have been here otherwise, but they probably wouldn't have been coming to Dover, Del. otherwise," said Tatoian.
Festival goers are already planning for a return to The Woodlands next year.
"I came last year and had so much fun that I bought my tickets for this year as soon as they went on sale," said Kiley Douglas. "I've had fun this year, too, so if I can come back next year, I will."
Sunday's fun almost seemed to be in jeopardy, though, when partly cloudy skies began dumping rain around 1 p.m. As the bottom fell out, fans found themselves drenched but still happy to be listening to their favorite bands.
Bart Monelithy drove to Dover from Ohio just to see several of his favorite bands, and with the faithfulness of a postal employee, he said that nothing short of a major disaster could have kept him away.
"After the money we spent to get here, there's no way a little rain or even a lot of rain could keep us away," said Monelithy as he tried to rake the mud off his shoes. "As long as the bands are willing to play, we're here to stay."
And, play they did. Sunday's acts included Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite who filled in for the last minute cancellation of The Lumineers, 1990's indie folk band Dispatch, The Last Bison and Delta Rae.
Passion Pit went on at 6:30 p.m. and tried to make up for last year's cancellation only to wind up cutting their set short by about 30 minutes after lead singer Michael Angelakos said that he was having trouble with allergies and just couldn't seem to hit the notes anymore.
Indie darlings Vampire Weekend took the stage at 7:45 p.m. on The Lawn, followed by Foster The People, at 9:30 p.m. on the Main Stage. Their last guitar riffs faded out at 11 p.m., bringing the 2013 festival to a close.

The happiest place in the world is not Disneyland at least for the next six week. The happiest place in the world has to be Bristol, CT, that's where ESPN is headquartered. ESPN gets the next six weeks to promote the January 7 national championchip game between Notre Dame and either Alabama or Georgia. The Notre Dame brand is the most recognizable name in college football. Their return to prominence has been well documented by ESPN and you can be assured will only increase as we now know that Notre Dame will be playing for a national championchip in college football. The only thing that could make it even better for ESPN is if they could show Saturday afternoon's SEC championchip game between Alabama and Georgia with the winner moving on to play Notre Dame on January 7. Don't get me wrong Notre Dame deserves to be playing on January 7, they have had a great year and have played many of the top teams in the country. My feeling is they may have a very tough time against Alabama but Notre Dame proved Saturday night just how good their defense is and I think a game against Alabama would be an excellent game. If Georgie somehow beats Alabama on Saturday then I think Notre Dame would have a much easier game on January 7.
The Missouri Tigers 2012 football season sputtered to an end over the weekend with a thrashing at the hands of a very good Texas AandM team. I am not one of those who is calling for Gary Pinkel's firing, we knew coming in that this was going to be a tough season and James Franklin's myriad of injuries didn't help at all. In my opinion he really was never one hundred percent healthy at any time this year. Pinkel did the best he could with what he had. I believe Pinkel is signed through 2017 so don't look for Missouri to make a change anytime soon. The buyout would be too much and there is no reason to make a change at this point.
The Missouri Tigers basketball team went 2 and 1 over the Thanksgiving weekend beating Stanford on Thursday before losing to a very good Louisville team on Friday and then coming back to beat Virginia Comonweath on Saturday. I had an opportunity to see the Louisville game and losing to a team of that caliber is nothing to be ashamed of. Louisville has an excellent team and I would not be at all surprised to see them in the final four this year. They lost to Duke on Saturday in an excellent game against a team who will probably be one of the tope teams in the country all year. When you have one turnover the entire game as Louisville did against Missouri you aren't going to lose many games.
The St. Louis Rams looked very impressive on Sunday as they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 31 to 17. The Rams have played very well in their division and have beaten or tied every team in the NFC West but can't seem to win outside their division. The Rams played with a lot of confidence on Sunday and if they can maintain that confidence and become more consistent then they will have a very good team. The nucleus is there they just need to put it all together on a consistent basis.
It is a good thing the Kansas City Chiefs have a good field goal kickers otherwise the Chiefs would go for weeks without ever scoring a point. The Chiefs Defense should be commended for playing as well as they have all year because they are getting zero support from the offense. The Chiefs now have the worst record in the NFL and I have no doubt that will continue to be the case. Hopefully the Chiefs will draft well and can get someone they can build their team around because that is what it is going to take.
The Truman State women's basketball team continued their winning ways over the weekend with two impressive wins including a thrilling victory against a very good Missouri Western team who they will play again later on this season in MIAA conference play.
The Truman State women's volleyball team heads to Minnesota later this week to begin their playoff run against Southwest MN.
We will be back on Wednesday with another blog. Until then, please continue to check out the other blogs on this site and thank you so much for continuing to support this one.
Have a terrific Monday!

Sun Going Down
A Novel
Part history, part romance, and part action-adventure novel, Sun Going Down follows the fortunes of Ebenezer Paint and his descendants -- rough and tough individuals who are caught up in Civil War river battles, epic cattle drives through drought and blizzards, the horrors of Wounded Knee, the desperation of the dust bowl, and the prosperity of the roaring 1920s. The page-turning plot is peopled by a vibrant, unforgettable cast of characters: a grizzled Mississippi steamboat merchant, two horse-thieving brothers, five Annie Oakley-like sisters who can outride any cowboy, a half-Sioux bride who demands her new family claim her heritage, and a courageous daughter who defies her father and braves the West alone. Throughout their lives, the Paint family must battle both internal and external elements, and learn to live with spirit and wit.
Letters and diaries from the author's own family archives form the basis for all the events and characters in Sun Going Down, infusing the novel with richly detailed authenticity and deep emotional power. It is intimate in its portraits of the unforgettable characters who settled our country, sweeping in its geographical reach from Vicksburg up through Montana and the Dakotas, and epic as it spans four generations from the Civil War to the Great Depression.
Masterfully written, Sun Going Down holds the reader fast through tears, laughter, terror, and joy until the very last heart-gripping page is turned.

1. Sun Going Down is populated with a lively, colorful cast of characters, but nature also plays an essential role in the novel. In many ways, it helps determine the plot, providing an element of suspense or affording the characters certain opportunity. Discuss three examples that exist throughout Sun Going Down when nature determines a character's fate.
2. Discuss courtship and marriage as it is portrayed in Sun Going Down. When Eb Paint marries Cora, she has already been married twice and they have not spent much more than a few months together. How would you react if you were forced to decide to marry someone you'd only known for just a few months? Although Eli and Livvy also only knew each other for a short time before they were married, they have a successful marriage. What makes their marriage work?
3. When Eli marries Livvy, he tells her that the bruises and scars around his neck are not from his attempted hanging for stealing horses, but from a joke that went a bit too far. Why did he lie to her? Given the harsh times in which they lived, would she understand the need to steal horses in order to survive or to make up for what was already owed Eli and Ezra?
4. Why does Eli banish Velma from the Fanciful when she becomes pregnant, especially given the fact that everything that he has was built on what he called his "black money" - the money he earned from stealing horses? Is t see more

The 2012 Missouri Crop Performance reports for Soybean, Corn, Grain Sorghum and Wheat are available at the Callaway County and other county Extension Centers. These publications are also available to view at the University of Missouri's Extension Web page: http://varietytesting.missouri.edu/.
Selection of varieties that best fit a farmer's production goals and challenges is an essential part of profitable grain crop production. We provide the reliable, unbiased, up-to-date information that makes that selection possible.
Each year they test over 600 corn, grain sorghum, and soybean varieties at 32 locations throughout Missouri. These 32 locations are distributed among four regions: North, Central, Southwest, and Southeast. The number of locations within a region depends on the specific test but varies from two to five. Companies enter their varieties into tests at one or more of these regions, but their entries must be placed at all locations within a region.
The headquarters for the MU Variety Testing Program is the Bradford Research and Extension Center located in the heart of Missouri six miles east of Columbia. They also have personnel located at the Delta Research Center near Portageville, MO and the Hundley - Whaley Center near Albany, MO. The majority of the test locations are farmer fields and the MU Variety Testing Program appreciate the cooperation and dedication of the cooperators.
MU's Crop Performance reports' covers are printed on shiny paper with color photographs of the crop. They would make a great "coffee table book" for any farmer's living room.

My mother was a nurse. For more than 20 years she took care of newborn babies at the University of Tennessee hospital. By the time I had Juliana at 19, mom was head nurse of the newborn nursery and gave her first grandchild her first bath there. In the same nursery where she had rocked thousands of babies, prayed for each one I am certain, stayed awake with them through nightshift after nightshift (so that she could be with her own during the day), assured their new mothers, and even rocked some babies that were born addicted as they died. I always wondered how you could have a mother that wasn't a nurse. How did that work? Didn't you have to be a nurse to put a band-aid on just so, know exactly when to call the doctor and when to stay home, determine whether a fever was just a virus or a bacteria, know by the color of a child's lips if they should go to bed.
What my mother had as much as her gift of love and gift of care, was a gift of humility. I was first made really aware of this when Juliana was a brand new baby (1992). I was still living at home, before Jeff and I were married. In the days before she was born, mom had attended a nursing conference that shared new research of how to put a baby to bed..... after decades of putting babies on their tummies, it was time- the experts said- to put them on their backs. I will never forget the two of us, standing over Juliana's bassinet, staring at her on her back. Each of us sort of twitching at it. I could see in my mother's face that it seemed to go against everything that she had ever known. Yet she was willing to watch with an even closer eye, trusting all she had been taught, trusting her instincts too, but ultimately having the humility to learn something new in the hopes that eventually she could become accustom to what might be even safer still. She was about nothing if she was not about safety. But prevailing over all was her faith, and feeling humble or unsure for her simply meant praying more.
I could write forever about her attributes, but in these doses, I am so very focused these past days on what gifts they each were. In gift, I mean, that they were given to me. Given to my sister. Given to my brother. Given to my father. We now hold them. They are ours. I am not a nurse, but I am a mother who learned everything from her. And the hands that hold all my babies, do so with ease because of my mother and the gifts that she so unselfishly gave to me. I so often think of how she held newborns, with their back against just one of her long graceful inner forearms, back of their head cradled in her open, reassuring and strong hand, little legs left to do as they wished, little hands always tucked towards each other.... her other hand, rubbing the belly, and how she kept her face only a few inches away, talking, smiling, loving. It was a thing of beauty. I feel it in my own hold, and I yearn to feel it any minute as we await this little girl.
Juliana took these pictures of mom and I last summer. They are becoming an important part of replacing the suffering that is so raw in my mind with her health and her beauty. No one has ever accused me of looking like my mother, really, I am almost completely my father in visage. Yet, one of the many gifts of hers I am proud to own is smiling from within. Which to me is so evident in that last picture of us. We have how we smile so in common that we look identical. Thank you, Mama.
And thank each of you for your prayers, your thoughts, your words, spoken, written, or simply thought to yourself. It does help, and there are few ways to thank you really. But you should know how it comforts me. And for all of you who know just what it is to do this part of life, and those who anticipate it one day near or far, I send you my love.
Life is moving. It is a pace I've never known. The pace of mourning but also of rejoicing. It is all so miraculous that it hurts for reasons that are full of light and some that are still dark and low. I am a little more someone I recognize, but now so physically encumbered with this little one, pressing, and shifting, and threatening her arrival, that I am slow still. Perhaps the tempo of my heart has risen a bit. A new baby dress. A new patchwork cover for the rocker mom bought me 15 years ago for Nicolas. The last few rounds of a knitted romper. Yes. We are moving. Towards her.
With so much love, Anna
ps. Pierrette will be taking over much of my posting duties here at the blog for all studio-related posts. There has been too much exciting and pretty stuff happening to keep you in the dark, so I hope you are looking forward to some goodies, sales and updates here soon. The joy continues.

What a beautiful, eloquent, perfect tribute. I laughed when you said I always wondered how you could have a mother that wasn't a nurse. I smiled at the priceless photos. I love that you look identical because you both smile from within. Two amazing, wonderful women.ReplyDelete
This is an incredibly loving and beautiful tribute to your mom. xoxoReplyDelete
Beautiful tribute! Thinking of you all, and know that baby girl will know her grandma through your smile and love, and loving blanket your Momma made her! Love is powerful balm/medicine. Your momma will be with you in your heart as you give birth.ReplyDelete
One of the most vivid memories of my Pediatric Residency is that of the neonatal nurses guiding/loving/cherishing doomed infants through death. Many of these babies were born to people affected by addiction or unable to cope with their loved one's dying. When the parents for whatever reason could not or would not be there for the end, these nurses stepped in with such love. I have never felt ceremony as strongly as I did watching these nurses loving, holding, talking these babies through their last hours on earth. . . Such a gift to be loved at the end. . . Such a gift to be with your mother at that time. Love to you.ReplyDelete
Dear Anna, what beautiful and loving words not to mention those fantastic pictures of two beautiful women. Thank you for putting into words what most of us struggle to say.ReplyDelete
I lost my mum ten years ago, we weren't close, I wasn't there when she died (we live on opposite sides of the globe) but she is still with me in some way and yours will always be there too. Anna x

Anna, a year ago I was sitting, along with my father and brother, at my mother's bedside. Next week will mark a year since she left this life. Those days were among the most dreadful and the most precious I've ever known, a tangle of intense grief and huge love. You articulate so beautifully this paradox of emotion.ReplyDelete
Like you, I learned my love of handwork at my mother's knee. In the days after she died I couldn't get enough of her work, things that over the years had become so familiar to the landscape of our homes that I'd stopped admiring the details. Many folks - her family, friends, colleagues - have taken time to tell me about or show me the special pillow or sweater or sampler that she made for them. What a legacy of love, like that of your dear mother.
As time passes I find that I remember less and less of my mother's illness and more and more of her faith and strength and fierce love for her family. I pray that you will find the same, and that the joy of your little girl's arrival will be sweeter still, knowing that she is blessed with such a wonderful guardian angel.
Prayers and love to you.
this is such beautiful writingReplyDelete
and I LOVE the last picture of the two of you
Hope you have a beautiful birth experience with your new baby girl
Big tears. Your words are so approachable, so easy to put myself in your place. So grateful for the new little life coming to you soon, crazy how the cycle continues. You are a true inspiration to so many, I'm sure your mother was too =).ReplyDelete
Oh my how you brought back those dread filled, loved filled days spent with my Mom as she headed home 30yrs ago now. So much of the raw pain of those days is gone and the joy of her gifts is always close to me. Many prayers still headed to you and yours, we are all awaiting your little girl too.ReplyDelete
i agree whole-heartedly with the last post. i am so sorry for your loss. i too lost my mother (at the age of 69) almost four years ago. I can tell you the memories we cherish get me through the rough patches. It does get easier to bear ... with time. i will pray for both you and and your mother.ReplyDelete
Not that I ever really have forgotten, but you have brought forth all the things I remember as gifts from my Mother and my Grandmother. Patience and coping mechanisms, yes, but the love and how to give it, the laughter, the smiles, the compassion. I have missed my Mom for 29 years. I think of her every day. I am so sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
That picture of you and your mom smiling, laughing. What a treasure.ReplyDelete
I am so glad you have the pictures of you and your mom. And please know that it is ok to feel joy now. You have a new life headed your way that will bring you so much joy and it is ok to feel that happiness. Your mother would so want you to be happy. She will always be in your heart and your children will always know her through you. xo janReplyDelete
Until you meet again, I've been a long time without my mother but I know she's with me everyday! God needed another angelReplyDelete
I thought about how much you resembled your mother in the picture in your last post. She is quite lovely and so are you. I hope this quote helps a little. I have thought of it a lot lately through some of our own turmoils:ReplyDelete
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

Thank you for sharing these recollections and reflections. They
are so touching, and dear. Even now, you make things beautiful,
Anna Maria. God bless you.
I believe that the if the world works at all, it's due to the beautiful people in it such as your mother, Anna.ReplyDelete
It was a lovely tribute, well stated. What on this earth could be better than to have your beloved mom live on through you, and your siblings, and your children, and their children.
May God Bless.
This is such a lovely tribute post! I have been reading your blog for a few years, I think since Roman was born, or thereabouts, and your vision through life and death moments is so beautiful and yet always completely relatable. I am so sure that your mother is looking at you right now with so much love. Praying for peace for you, and that your "mourning turns to dancing" soon.ReplyDelete
God bless!
This is so beautiful, Anna Maria...gosh. Made me think of my mom and what she has taught me, and her mom and what she taught her...and what I'm now teaching my 5 year old daughter and how she can pass that on to her one little ones someday. It's something very special, and you sound like you had a really amazing woman to help YOU become an amazing mom too. Take care.ReplyDelete
In the last pic, the smiles are almost identical. I look like my father too, but some bits of me are so much my mother and now as I grow older the resemblance is almost striking...ReplyDelete
This is beautifully written, Anna Maria. And I am thinking of my mother as I write, and I can feel her right next to me even though its 15 years since she passed away.

This is such a touching tribute to your wonderful mother. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us. She was a loving and dedicated mother and nurse. The world was and is a better place because she touched so many lives. I send you many hugs as you make your way through this bittersweet time in your life.ReplyDelete
thank you for sharing your heart und thank you that you write about your mamas faith. that is a huge gift, too, and so many in todays world can not find faith. I´m so so sorry that your mom is gone. wish you a truck load of strength and blessings and a beautiful birth, soon.ReplyDelete
My mom is very ill and was a nurse for 30 years... I too find nursing and motherhood almost interchangable, how can it not be when both are synonomous with caring, selflessness and comfort? Much love to you and your family.ReplyDelete
This was so beautiful. I am very sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
God bless you, Anna Maria. And God bless the memory of your sweet Mama.ReplyDelete
This was a beautiful post and I so enjoyed getting to "meet" your mom through it. Now I see where so much of who you are comes from. Your mom sounds like an amazing gem of a woman. You are so blessed, and I see now even more why your grief must be so deep. May Christ continue to comfort you and your whole family. We are looking forward to baby news!ReplyDelete
she was so beautiful - inside and out. and there is definitely a lot of her in you. lovetoyoumuch during this very sad time.xoReplyDelete
Wow! Thank you for sharing dear sweet mama! Loosing a loved one on the cusp of birthing is God's reminders of the bittersweet's in life, and to remind us all he is in control and loves us all !ReplyDelete
Many blessings,
Samantha {Waldorf and Ragamuffin Dolls}
That was an exceptionally beautiful tribute to your mother.ReplyDelete
so perfectly said. having had 5 preemie babies that each required nicu stays, i have a very healthy appreciation and respect for nurses who care for newborns. they truly are special people. your mother seems the cream of the crop! what a loss for you, but what a blessing, too. glad you are holding onto the gifts.ReplyDelete
you may not look so much like her, but you do have a similar countenance, of smiling from within, as you say, as evidenced by that last photo in particular. two very beautiful women. faith matters. character matters. best beauty secrets ever.
follow you anna :) Perfect..ReplyDelete
It's been a while since I stopped in. I didn't know you were having another baby and I certainly didn't know you lost your mother. I learned everything about sewing while living with a mom who could have sewed professionally. She made all our clothes, slipcovers, bridal gowns (with trains!!!!). I didn't sew then but took it up later in life and called it my own. But it was hers, I know that now. I lost her last July and she is with me every night when I turn on my machine. Yours will be with you the first time you pick your new babe up.
Peace and love,

So sorry to read of your loss. Praying that with every breath you breathe in grace and continue to see the love and generosity of your mother in early morning sun streaming to land on your kitchen table, or a spool of thread as you take it in your hands, or in the laugh of your children......blessings.ReplyDelete
Sending you love and light. Into each life a little rain must fall... praying for you and your family.ReplyDelete
So sad for you loss Anna. Your tribute to her is so loving and heartfelt, thank you for sharing. I lost my mom when I was just 25 (too young imo) but I had the support of family, friends and a loving God who promised to be EVERYTHING to me from thay day forward so I was able to endure the tremendous loss. it has nearly been 17 years and I still long for her presence. interesting thing is that I look JUST like her. always have and most likely always will. My dad (who I lost when I was just 9), called me Little Jo bec my mom's name was Josephine. I used to always want to look like myself and not her but since she has been gone, and every time I hear how much I.look like her, it makes me smile inside and I graciously say thank you because she was a beautiful woman inside and out. May you always hold your fond memories of your mom close to your heart and take comfort in the legacy she left y'all.ReplyDelete
I am so very very sorry to read of your Mother's passing. She was a good, loving woman.ReplyDelete

WENATCHEE, Wash. — The state Department of Natural Resources is dropping the idea of orchard development on two sections of land high in the Stemilt Basin, says the director of Chelan County natural resources.
"The Washington Department of Natural Resources has indicated that Sections 16 and 22 in the Stemilt Basin are no longer being considered for orchard development," Mike Kaputa, Chelan County natural resources director, wrote in a Feb. 24 e-mail to more than 100 interested parties.
Matthew Randazzo, senior advisor to Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark, confirmed DNR has dropped the orchard idea and is pursuing a way to make the School Trust fund whole for transfer of the land from DNR to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. He said a prior payment intended to include those parcels ended up covering only two others.
The county is working with state Sen. Linda Evans Parlette, R-Wenatchee, and others to secure those sections, Kaputa wrote. He enclosed a draft letter to Parlette from the Stemilt Partnership supporting transfer of ownership of the sections from DNR to Fish and Wildlife for management aligning with the Partnership's goals to protect water, wildlife and recreation. The letter notes Sections 16 and 22 are part of four original DNR sections proposed for exchange with a private developer that prompted formation of the Partnership.
The Partnership, a coalition of people and groups interested in preserving the Stemilt Basin, was formed in 2007 to prevent development.
In the last year or more, Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, the largest cherry grower in the nation and the affiliated Kyle Mathison Orchards, proposed buying or leasing the sections from DNR for development of high-elevation late-season cherries.
The Partnership swung into opposition, noting agriculture was not a goal, and that migration of large herds of elk would be affected. Several public meetings were held. Goldmark attended at least one and told Capital Press that environmentalists contributed far more to his campaign when asked about Stemilt Growers and Mathison family contributions.
In one meeting, Gar Racus, an area grower, said at $3 per pound and 10 tons per acre, the Mathisons could gross about $24 million annually off orchards developed on 450 acres. West Mathison, president of Stemilt Growers Inc., said high-elevation cherries are among the last harvested and are a good market opportunity.
Mathison issued the following statement, Feb. 26, when asked by Capital Press for comment on Kaputa's email:
"It is a shame that the DNR is considering not to lease land to a willing tenant when the potential tenant attended eight public meetings, carries a legacy of stewardship, engaged the Stemilt Partnership in a transparent manner, hired a wildlife biologist to properly mitigate the impact of an orchard, offered annual conservation funding for the Stemilt Basin and would have created hundreds of jobs during a time when folks need work.
"Moreover, this decision takes money away from the School Trust and puts more of a burden on the state to fund schools, and the county by reducing land that could generate tax revenue for our county. This could have been a win-win and we were willing to provide further mitigation, yet a few people were not interested in collaborating."
Randazzo said he understands Mathison's sentiments.

WASHINGTON – Federal regulators threatened Wednesday to bar Houston-based Black Elk Energy from working in the Gulf of Mexico if it doesn't take immediate steps to improve safety after a fatal fire last week and more than 300 violations in the past two years.
But the move was decried by some as too little, too late, and it raised fresh questions about the effectiveness of safety changes imposed after the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
Bob Dean, an associate director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, likened the government's approach to ''locking the gate after the horse has bolted the barn.''
''This is the right thing to do,'' Dean said. ''Unfortunately it coms too late for the killed or injured workers and their families.''
The Nov. 16 explosion on board Black Elk's platform roughly 18 miles off the Louisiana coast killed one worker, critically injured others and left one still missing.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement ordered Black Elk Energy to develop a plan for improving the safety of its operations by Dec. 15 and told it to immediately halt burning, welding and other activities that could ignite fires at its 98 production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. Regulators also are barring the firm from launching operations at facilities that are currently offline.
''Black Elk has repeatedly failed to operate in a manner that is consistent with federal regulations,'' said James Watson, director of the safety bureau that oversees offshore oil operations. ''BSEE has taken a number of enforcement actions – including issuing numerous incidents of non compliance, levying civil penalties and calling in the company's senior leadership to review their performance and the ramifications of failing to improve.''
In a statement, Black Elk spokesman Leslie Hoffman stressed the company's commitment to safety.
''We appreciate the perspective of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement,'' Hoffman said. ''Safety is a high priority for Black Elk Energy, and we will continue to work cooperatively with local and national federal agencies to understand exactly what happened with the incident at our rig in the Gulf of Mexico.''
In a letter to the company Wednesday, the safety bureau said it had documented ''numerous troubling safety incidents involving Black Elk facilities,'' including last week's fatal platform fire.
The safety bureau has issued 315 ''incidents of non-compliance'' to the company during its two-year history operating in the Gulf of Mexico. On 12 occasions, the agency ordered the company to shut in its facilities because the violations were considered so severe or life-threatening that work could not safely continue.
During that same two-year time frame, the safety bureau ordered Black Elk to shut off specific equipment 145 times because it was too risky to continue operating. The agency also issued 158 warnings to Black Elk, ordering the firm to correct an assortment of violations.
In one case two years ago, regulators ordered Black Elk to pay a $307,000 fine after the safety bureau determined the company had not tested a safety valve every six months as mandated. When it finally was tested, the valve was found to be leaking excessively -_ and then it took another 117 days to be repaired or replaced.
In an Oct. 20 incident still being investigated, the safety bureau said six workers were hospitalized after an acid-based chemical was used to treat one of Black Elk's wells without proper precautions.
The safety bureau stepped up its inspections of Black Elk operations after red flags were raised, prompting the agency to issue 45 incidents of non-compliance for violations at nine of the firm's facilities in the South Marsh Island area of the Gulf of Mexico last month.
Marilyn Heimann, with the Pew Environment Group, said Wednesday's disclosures show ''there is still more to do on prevention and safety,'' two years after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig claimed 11 lives and launched the nation's worst oil spill. ''We commend BSEE for their strong response to this incident, but they still need more resources and support to prevent these problems.''
Dean stressed that robust inspections and ''decisive action'' are needed to discourage companies from cutting corners.
''There's a difference between issuing citations and protecting our workers, waters and wildlife,'' he said. In the case of Black Elk, he said, ''that's 300 warnings, 300 red flags, 300 opportunities for authorities to step in and demand better. Why did it take a tragic disaster for enforcers to step in and connect the dots?''
Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill have unsuccessfully pushed legislation that would make it easier to block companies with repeated violations from buying offshore drilling leases or working on the outer continental shelf altogether.
While federal regulators already have some latitude, current law limits their powers. The Interior Department can disapprove or revoke a company's status as an operator, but only after determining that the firm's ''operating performance is unacceptable.'' The safety bureau stopped short of issuing a notice of unacceptable performance on Wednesday.
And while incidents of non-compliance can kick off a lengthy civil penalty process, fines are capped at $40,000 per incident per day. Any significant hike in the maximum fine would be up to Congress; otherwise, current law limits the safety bureau to making periodic adjustments for inflation.
After the 2010 oil spill, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement issued incidents of non-compliance to BP, the London-based company that operated the failed Macondo well in the Gulf. But the safety bureau did not deem BP's overall performance ''unacceptable'' or move to bar the company from operating offshore.
BSEE does not routinely disclose the number of violations logged by oil and gas companies working offshore or the fines imposed on those firms.
That can foster a false sense of security about what's happening offshore, said Jacqueline Savitz, a senior campaigns director with Oceana.
''You want to think everything is going smoothly, but the fact of the matter is, when you scratch the surface, you see there are a lot of problems,'' Savitz said.
Founded in 2007 by John Hoffman, a former BP and Amoco executive, Black Elk holds interests in 854 wells connected to 155 platforms spanning the Gulf of Mexico. It is the main operator on 98 platforms, according to federal records.
The company has adopted an aggressive acquisition plan that is focused on buying older wells and facilities. The wells linked to the platform involved in Friday's accident date back decades to the 1950s and 1960s.
Those decades-old facilities come with big maintenance needs, increasing the need for construction work on the sites and possibly boosting the chance of accidents.

BETTYE LAVETTE Earns A Bounty Of Praise For New CD
BETTYE LaVETTE,
NEW YORK TIMES: "The magnificent soul singer Bettye LaVette's latest album, 'Thankful N' Thoughtful,' is an anatomy of bitter desolation, plunging deep to transform songs like Bob Dylan's 'Everything Is Broken,' the Black Keys' 'I'm Not the One,' Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' and the title song, from Sly and the Family Stone." 9/9/12
LOS ANGELES TIMES: "LaVette seems determined to isolate the basic character of the material. She takes these songs down to street level, stripping them of everything inessential in order to find out what they have to say about life or love." 10/5/12
AMERICAN SONGWRITER: "If soul singer Bettye LaVette has proved anything…it's that you don't need to write a song to get plenty out of it…her covers are more like rewrites. That's the ultimate compliment for a vocalist and this is another compelling example of LaVette's finely tuned interpretative talents taking songs to places you might not have imagined." 9/24/12
HITS: "A wild woman with a sassy streak and a love of good herb, Bettye LaVette may well be the current Queen of Soul, an interpreter in the classic sense." 7/26/12
PASTE: "Bettye LaVette's voice, sanded raw and consumed by emotion is a powerful witness: strong, down and above all, real. Those attributes infuse Thankful N' Thoughful with a truth in being, a delivery rendered from experience that declares 'I know' just by the way she squares up to the songs." 9/25/12
ESQUIRE: "…few modern soul singers have the authentic wear-and-tear to deliver a fiery fuck-you quite like Bettye LaVette." 10/1/12
TIME MAGAZINE: "…deftly interpreted cover songs about emotional bruises…her utter transformation of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' is the highlight." 8/20/12
BLURT: "LaVette is in incredibly fine form, squeezing every amount of emotional resonance out of every track, her voice a well burnished, emotionally charged instrument that she plays like a master." 9/26/12
UNCUT (UK): "LaVette has a voice capable of taking any song on a cathartic journey. Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Waits, et al are interpreted with visceral layers of deep soul even their authors could never have imagined." 11/12
ALLMUSIC: "Thankful N' Thoughtful finds her taking her blues, gospel, and soul-influenced singing style into deep, swampy, and edgy American roots territory, and she makes it all work with a sting and bite to her phrasing that ranks her as one of the best living soul singers…She is still a marvel." 9/25/12
M MUSIC MAGAZINE: "Bettye LaVette's delicious rasp and emotional delivery make her a top-notch interpreter of songs…Gritty and graceful, it's the epitome of LaVette's sound—and the woman herself." 10/12
BBC MUSIC: "It's a marvelous, spine-tingling journey around some not-so-obvious American songs, and also a stunning tutorial in different American music styles, strung together by LaVette's sensuous singing...Possibly the best set of songs she's ever recorded." 9/26/12
NEW YORK TIMES: "the music grounds itself in 1960s soul, stauchly chugging along as Ms LaVette's bruised, caustic, adamant voice plunges into every line, coming through the songs as an unflinching survivor." 9/21/12

Now now... The intro board is no place for debates and such... as the resident Gawd here I must aim the discussion back at welcoming our new memberWelcome Dano
So the passage in Deuteronomy that you listed, and that Jesus referenced in Matthew 4:7, is a law not to provoke God into jealousy and anger by worshiping anything other than Him. "Test" even in our language can also mean "trial" or "tempt" as in the New King James version I listed, there.

Inscape 2012, Ursuline College's fine arts annual, received a First Class Honor Rating from the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) indicating marks of distinction in the areas of writing and editing and concept.
According to the ACP, the College received these marks of distinction "for exemplary work and point total exceeding 85." A perfect score of 100 points was awarded in the writing and editing category. "It is quite obvious a rigorous review process was employed and that your pool is saturated with excellent writers," said Dr. Joanne Simpson, the ACP judge who critiqued Ursuline's publication.
In terms of concept, a total of 90 points were awarded, and according to Simpson, the "cover is inviting, appealing and mentally and emotionally provocative." She also claimed that "it is unique to see art on the inside cover and to have this as the focus of the page."
Furthermore, Simpson said of Inscape 2012, "Everything in the magazine speaks of professionalism--impressive graphics, art and writing. I was surprised by how much the content varied."
For over 20 years, Ursuline has submitted Inscape to the American Scholastic Press Association (ASPA) for critique and has consistently received high marks. This is the first time the publication has been submitted to the ACP.
Commenting on the First-Class rating Inscape 2012 received from the ACP, Sr. Cynthia Glavac, O.S.U., Ph.D., who served as the literary advisor to Inscape 2012, said that "receiving this award from such a well-established, national organization affirms that Inscape is a quality publication that has consistently reflected a talented body of writers and artists at Ursuline College. Encouraged by our ACP First-Class rating, we begin work on Inscape 2013 with confidence and excitement."
The ACP is the oldest and largest national membership organization for college student journalists. Since 1921, they offer resources to their members to help them improve their publications--newspapers, yearbooks, magazines, broadcast programs, and online publications. More than 20,000 students are staffers at ACP member publications.
As a Catholic liberal arts college, focusing on women, Ursuline welcomes students into an academically challenging and values-based environment. Ursuline offers more than 30 undergraduate and ten graduate degrees in three schools including arts and sciences, nursing, professional and graduate studies.
