Beiler's National Doughnut Day Email

Understanding that movement had worked well in the past, Elysium Marketing Group decided to have doughnuts alternate to show the wide variety of treats that Beiler's has to offer.

|Our last visit in Texas. My brother is the guy in
the back in the middle.
It was a magical week for my family- well actually it has been a magical year! I flew to Texas Monday, October 10, for a wonderful reason! We had prayed for over 22 years for my brother to be in a position to move out of Texas... and the day had finally arrived! I met my mom, step dad, sister, and brother-in-law on Monday night. The four of us went to pick up my brother on Tuesday and help him get ready for his move. We spent time together for the last time in Texas. It will be so nice to have all of my family in one place finally! It was a quick trip since I flew home on Wednesday, but it meant so much that I could be with everyone for a little while! Everyone else went on to see my grandma and visited a few more friends on the way to Wisconsin.
|Brennan's fat lip
|Brent and Caitlin putting on Kate's
new socks before her new"butterfly shoes"
Thursday I picked Kate up from school to go get her new leg braces. She was a great sport and wore them for about two hours on Thursday, two hours on Friday, four hours on Saturday, and hopefully six hours today (three hours this morning and three hours this afternoon). They have butterflies on the back and we had to go buy new shoes (what a great reason to shop)! She picked out some Dora shoes that will fit her new "butterfly shoes" too.
|Trying out the butterfly shoes for
the first time
|Taking a break to have some fun!

at Golden Corral, Oct. 14th.
|Cotton Candy at Golden
Corral... Dave was hoping that
we could skip the fair since the kids
already got their cotton candy. LOL
|Happy ninth birthday Brennan!
|Birthday cake for breakfast!
And on Friday it was Brennan's ninth birthday!!! Wow- what a week! Brennan opened most of his presents Friday morning before school. I joined him for lunch and read a book to his class and handed out his birthday treats. He was so sweet! Friday night we all went to Golden Corral for dinner because that's what the birthday boy picked for his choice. Dave and I were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't packed! We all enjoyed a delicious dinner but didn't have any room for Brennan's cake that Dave had bought for Brennan. We ended up eating Brennan's birthday cake on Saturday morning instead.
|Helping Hanna open her present
that Kate was so excited to pick
out for her.
|Mimi's for dinner
|Kate with two of her favorite people!
|Kate loves Jennifer!
|We know one of the actors-
the one in the middle was one
of my students last year. .
It was just Kate and me for church on Sunday since the boys were camping. Kate got to hand out bread at church which made her happy! Our church has a tradition that if anyone is visiting for the first time they get bread and the children deliver it. Poor Kate toppled over in her butterfly shoes though- but she got up and got the bread delivered. :-) When Pastor Jay asked if anyone had a birthday this week, Kate raised her hand. She is so funny! With the excitement of Dave's birthday, Brennan's birthday, and Hanna's birthday all in one week, Kate is having a hard time waiting for her birthday. She can't wait until it is finally February 11th!
So we are thankful for birthdays, healthy kids, good friends, and family this week! I am especially thankful that my mom, step dad, sister, brother, and brother-in-law arrived in Wisconsin safe and sound yesterday. God has answered another prayer!

You want to know more about what's happening in the gender lens space. We've got more for you!
We're continuing to push a dialogue around gender lens investing and activate the Colorado impact investing community. From our May 12 Women Transforming Impact event to Melanie Pease Davidson's Conscious Company piece on Who Gets Our Money, we remain committed to support efforts that connect innovative leaders, inspire collective action, move more money to worthy social entrepreneurs, and empower social change. We're advancing this momentum at the local level through BFF sponsorship of Women Powering Change.
What is Women Powering Change?
Women Powering Change is an energetic and informative gathering of diverse non-profits, social enterprises, conscious companies, innovative leaders, passionate philanthropists, and aspiring activists all coming together at a community expo and celebration. Women Powering Change provides a forum for Colorado based mission-driven non-profit organizations and social enterprises that are by, for and/or about women to be showcased and displayed. We invite you to discover what more than 100+ of these Colorado based groups are doing to catalyze social change locally and globally to create a better world, and to connect with women leaders, activists, philanthropists and impact investors working to create a better world. Women Powering Change is the key place for individual donors, activists, and those new to philanthropy to meet and network with others working passionately to create change – from sustainability to social justice to gender empowerment.
How did Women Powering Change originate?
In 2013 Cynda Collins Arsenault, a local community activist, philanthropist and impact investor, had a vision to host a garden party in her backyard to bring together Colorado women that were actively working to build a more just, sustainable world for women and girls, both locally and globally. Cynda's vision was a success, with over 200 attendees. By 2015, this idea had spread throughout the community with a dedicated committee and sponsors to support its growth, resulting in over 1,000 people attending with 100 organizations showcased at Exdo Event Center. This year, Women Powering Change has brought together representatives from seven organizations which include Beyond Our Borders, Beautiful World, Global Health Foundation, Women's Collaborative for Colorado, Present Purpose Network, Chef Ann Foundation and the Women's Foundation of Colorado to commit time and talent as convening partners, leading the event into a another successful year. With several other community partners and sponsors, Women Powering Change is a true example of what can happen when the community comes together to celebrate collaboration. Women Powering Change 2016 is set to surpass the 1,000 attendee goal of last year and highlight 100+ organizations this Thursday July 14th. The celebration will include networking opportunities with a wide array of organizations and community members from across Colorado and, new this year, four inspiring workshops hosted by Emerging Women to compliment the experience of the event.
Outcomes of Women Powering Change
Women Powering Change highlights the critical and necessary roles of women in creating a more sustainable, secure, and just world while connecting individuals with social change organizations.
1. Accelerate the social impact of women creating a just world by engaging community members in the inspiring work being done locally and globally by women-centric organizations located in Colorado.
2. Around the world there is a steady pulse of women working passionately to create change - Women Powering Change is designed to connect like-minded women and men who can share ideas across sectors, glean inspiration from one another's stories, connect resources and catalyze collaboration.
3. Greater visibility of social impact being done by Colorado based non-profit organizations, conscious companies, and social enterprises.
4. Celebration and uplifting event that showcases the great work our community is doing and provides a space for one to find out how to get involved in impact investing, as a new volunteer or Board member, investing in a new social enterprise or providing funds to a community foundation to just name a few.
5. Growing movement of a community that celebrates interconnectiveness.
Join us as we build the momentum and encourage investment in our community! Save your spot now and don't forget to register!
Women Powering Change will take place at Mile High Station at 2027 Old West Colfax Ave. in Denver. Drop by from 4pm-8pm to connect with like minded women leaders, learn about opportunities to collaborate with 100+ organizations, get inspired by change happening locally and globally and enjoy complimentary appetizers and live music.

Australia says YES to Marriage Equality
We have just witnessed a defining moment in Australian history.
Our government has recognised that in this day and age marriage should not only be limited to a union between 'a man and a woman'. The Australian people have made their voices heard through a costly plebiscite and the result is a resounding YES to legalising marriage equality.
So from December 9th 2017 'marriage according to law in Australia is the union of two people', and that is pretty sweet!

Dear Hafiz...part 2
As the month of Ramadhaan approaches, the Huffaz (plural of Hafiz) will be selected to lead the people in Taraweeh salaah. Thus you will be appointed as the Imaam to enable the people to perform the special Ibadah of Taraweeh salaah. According to the Ahadith the Imaam enjoys a superior status. It is reported in a Hadith that the Imaam who performs salaah in such a manner that the congregation is pleased will have a mount of musk on the day of Qiyamat (Tirmizi vol.2, pg.84). Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also made dua for the hidayat (guidance) of the Imaams (Tirmizi vol.1, pg.51). This is indeed an honour – but more than that it is a tremendous responsibility. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said: "The Imaam is responsible (Haakim)."If the Imaam performs the salaah correctly, the salaah of the congregation will likewise be correct. If the Imaam is negligent, he will bear the burden of the deficiency that occurred in the salaah of the entire congregation due to his negligence. The Imaam should also be an Imaam in the Musjid while leading the salaah, as well as conduct himself as an Imaam when out of the Musjid. This applies even though you may just be an Imaam for the Taraweeh salaah only. Hence the Hafiz who will lead the Taraweeh salaah should at all times posses, among others, the following qualities of an Imaam:
1. He must be upright and pious
2. He must be able to recite the Qur'an correctly
3. He must know the basic masaa'il of Deen pertaining to taharah, salaah, etc.
4. He must be one who knows the Sunnah and adheres to it
5. He must not be one who openly commits sins
6. He must at all times be humble
Among the qualities of the Imaam stated above is the essential quality that he should be well acquainted with the basic masaa'il of taharah, Salaah, etc. The ghusal and wudhu must be performed completely in the sunnah manner. Neglecting to perform the ghusal and wudhu in the sunnah manner will cause a deficiency in the quality of the salaah. Thus the Imaam has to be even more careful that the sunnah procedure is carefully observed while performing ghusal and wudhu.
Eventually that day will come when the crescent of Ramadhaan will be sighted. On that night you will have to assume your position as the Imaam of the Taraweeh salaah and lead the congregation. It is extremely important to keep in mind that Taraweeh salaah is also SALAAH. While the pace of reciting the Qur'an may be a little faster in Taraweeh salaah, the same care must be taken in performing Taraweeh as is necessary in the daily Fardh (obligatory) salaah.
Consider that even while performing Taraweeh salaah you are communicating with Allah Ta'ala. Ponder over the following hadith: Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is reported to have said that when the musalli recites the first aayah of Surah Fatiha in salaah, Allah Ta'ala replies and says: "My servant has praised Me." When he recites the second aayah Allah Ta'ala says: "My servant has glorified Me." When he recites the third aayah Allah Ta'ala says: My servant has extolled My praises." When he recites the verse "You Alone do we worship and You Alone do we ask for assistance," Allah Ta'ala says: "This is between Me and My servant." Finally when he completes the rest of the Surah, Allah Ta'ala declares: "This is for My servant - and for My servant is what he has asked" (Mishkaat).
Hence, when the salaah is a means of communication with Allah Ta'ala, it must be performed in a most dignified manner. The speed of the recitation must not be so fast that some of the words cannot be clearly heard. The recitation must be absolutely clear. The rules of Tajweed must be adhered to. Of utmost importance is the correct pronunciation of the letters. Often due to "high speed" recitation, the letters are not pronounced clearly. In many instances such incorrect pronunciation results in the meaning being completely changed. This is a major sin and one must therefore totally refrain from it. Remember! Taraweeh is salaah. It is an ibadah. Like in any other salaah, one is communicating with Allah Ta'ala in Taraweeh also. Thus be particular with the speed of recitation as well as all other aspects.
Extremely important is the proper performance of ruku, qaumah (the standing posture after ruku before going into sajda), sajda and jalsa (the sitting posture between the two sajdas). It is waajib to remain AT LEAST for the duration of one tasbeeh in ALL the above four postures. The duration of one tasbeeh in this context is the extent it takes to say subbahana rabbiyal azeem once. It is sunnatul muakkadah to recite the tasbeehs of ruku and sajda at least thrice. The Imaam must recite the tasbeehs at least three times each in such a manner that the muqtadies also manage to recite the tasbeehs thrice. It is makrooh to recite the tasbeehs so quickly that (in general) the muqtadies do not manage to recite the tasbeehs thrice (see Fatawaa Mahmoodia v. 2, p. 108). Keep in mind that you have not been appointed as the Imaam to break any speed records. You are not in some sort of marathon that you want to complete in record time. Do not perform the Taraweeh in such a manner as if you "just want to get over with it." You are carrying on your shoulders the responsibility of the salaah of the entire congregation. You can NEVER dare to be hasty or negligent. Always keep in mind the Hadith wherein it is stated that the salaah that is not performed properly rises up in an ugly and dark shape and curses the one who performed it. It is then flung back like a dirty rag on the face of the person (Tabrani).
While refraining from being hasty, one should also consider the ease of the muqtadies. Therefore a moderate pace should be adopted, not such a slow pace which tires the muqtadies. The rakaats should also be approximately of even length. To recite a very lengthy portion in the first rakaat and just a few aayats in the second rakaat tires most muqtadies.
The qualities of an Imaam have already been listed. Among them is the important aspect that the Imaam must not be one who commits sins openly. Among the common sins which are committed openly in our time is the watching of T.V. and the intermingling of the sexes. As for T.V., people all sit together engaging collectively in the zina of the eyes and ears. Besides this open sin rendering the Imaamat of such a person to be makrooh, with what purity of the heart can a Hafiz lead the Taraweeh salaah when the filth of the T.V. is in his heart and mind.
Similarly, to freely intermingle with ghair mahrams (those with whom marriage is not perpetually haraam) is not permissible even if such ghair mahrams are closely related to one (such as sisters-in-law, cousins, etc.). This also results in zina of the eyes, ears, etc. The Imaam should therefore be extra careful in this regard.

Whether you are just getting started in your inbound marketing campaign, or you've been working in the industry for some time, it's critical to continually grow your understanding and knowledge. Knowing and understanding important key marketing terms can help you communicate with your marketing team, or if you work within the industry, help boost your credibility. In an industry that's constantly changing, it's important to stay in touch with all of the latest trends, including the emergence of new fun terms, like Pin, or hash tag. But, sometimes you come across a term or concept that you aren't entirely sure of. No one ever said you had to be a know-it-all, in fact, you shouldn't have to be.

Marketing has evolved over the years, thanks to the internet. Now, people are turning to the web to find, research, and buy products, especially since it's all at their convenience. Even marketers are changing as they no longer have to rely solely on traditional advertising like billboards, commercials, direct mail or telemarketing to reach consumers about their products and services.

If you have ever managed a social media platform, then you know that there are times when things can go horribly, horribly, (did we say horribly?) wrong. You wake up, head to work, log in to your computer, and there it is. One of the unholiest of unholy posts you have ever seen. Your hands start to sweat, your blood pressure rises, and all you want to do is hide away in a dark cave where the internet can never find you.

It's no surprise that video marketing is gaining popularity ever since Youtube, Vine, Instagram, and other social media outlets made sharing and production so easy. Luckily for the marketing industry, video content can be a great way to capitalize on attracting new leads, connecting with your visitors, or engaging valued customers.

There are plenty of ways to drive your inbound marketing campaign straight into the ground. Yes, we're starting off this post a little on the negative side of things; hey it's Monday, we need our afternoon caffeine, and we promise to swing it back up to Hubspot-happy by the end, so humor us for now. Anyways, you could send spammy e-mails to unsuspecting bystanders, rip off other marketers' content, keyword stuff, and the list goes on. Above all else however, there is one thing that will absolutely doom your inbound marketing from the beginning: failing to create your buyer personas.
Hubspot has stated that every marketing action you make should be dictated by your buyer personas. You know how much we love Hubspot, (check out why here) and we think this statement is probably one of the smartest they've made. Why? Because valuable content is at the core of inbound marketing. One of the determining factors of its value will be how useful it is. If you don't know who your buyer personas are, then how are you going to produce content that is useful to them?
For those of you who aren't 100% familiar with this term yet, or even if you are, we'll quickly review what exactly defines a buyer persona. By definition, buyer personas are fictional characters who represent a brand's ideal customers. It's common for businesses to have more than one ideal customer, and for that customer to change depending on the growth or goals of the business. When developing these personas, you should consider factors such as:

Will users stay loyal to the infantile platform or switch over to Instagram, which was delivered to them in a simple app update?

Since its creation in 2006, Twitter has become one of the strongest and most powerful platforms that companies have at their disposal. As inbound marketers, you know how to use Twitter to push out content, drive traffic and create user engagement. And now Twitter is bringing out the big guns by making the site even more useful.

The landing page on your website is the one of the most important elements in the lead generation process. Many inbound marketers forget just how important the landing page actually is, and focus only on the content offer behind that page. Don't be fooled --the landing page makes an incredible impact on conversions and cannot be ignored. The next time you sit down to write a landing page for your unique offer, ask yourself if your readers would feel truly compelled to read what you've written. As Hubspot would say, is your content remarkable enough?

The advantages of Twitter can be seen when businesses or individuals communicate online the same way they would in face-to-face interactions. Social media has revolutionized the way people connect, and maintaining these connections through two-way communication patterns can lead to a larger following.

New law in Georgia changes when drivers have to stop around school buses
A change in Georgia's law regarding school buses took effect in July has some parents concerned for their students' safety.
Now, in some scenarios, drivers in the Peach State can pass a school bus even when the stop arm is deployed.
When you see a school bus stopped, with the sign and lights on, most know what they're supposed to do. Many people learned even before they earned their license, you stop for school buses. But now, that's not always the case.
"It does surprise me, I didn't know that until you told me today, I always stop and always expect other people to stop," said Noelle Maxwell, parent.
On July 1st, GA House Bill 978 went into law and its impact is two-fold; it allows automated speed traps in school zones and amended the law for passing school buses.
"You have a turning lane or something of that nature dividing those lanes in between the two then you can continue passing the bus as long as you're traveling in the other opposite direction," explained Officer David Saylors with Dalton Police Department.
Put simply, if there's a center turn lane and you're traveling in the opposite direction, you can now pass a bus. However, drivers behind buses still have to stop.
Since the law went into effect, Dalton police have worked to educate the community on the change so someone used to the old law doesn't cause more problems.
"They don't stop and they rear end the car in front of them and cause a crash because they were doing what the law allows them to do," he said.
Across the state line in Tennessee, the law remains the same, there must be a barrier or median in order to lawfully pass a bus, which can be confusing for some.
"People want to pass the bus when they're not supposed to anyways before they changed the law there's always somebody in a hurry that's going somewhere that's going too fast and the kids having to cross the street and getting off the subdivision, it's definitely concerning for sure," Maxwell said.
Last month in Mississippi, not even a grass median could stop a driver from slamming into a school bus. It's why parents say no matter what the law says, they have one message for drivers.
"Think about if these were your kids or your nieces or nephews or grandkids? Take the extra five minutes and leave a little earlier and just watch out for kids and the buses, just pay attention to where you're at," Maxwell said.
We looked into the numbers in Dalton, police there said they have not seen an increase in traffic violations around school buses.
This law went into effect the same time Georgia's hands-free law on July 1st.

Tutorial - The "Slap Method" for Through-Hole Rework about 7 years ago
Similarly, instead of slamming the board on the desk, you can just blow the solder out with your mouth. Try it, it takes surprisingly little to remove the solder. Also works when you over-tin the end of a wire and you need to remove some solder, or if you solder a few pins together on a surface mount chip, or bridge pads on perfboard/veroboard.

music video for The City and Horses. made in VR with Tilt Brush and filmed with Unity.
The video takes you on an otherworldly adventure while The City and Horses sing a song about giving someone space.
It illustrates the Singularity within the SpaceTime Continuum, as a Golem/Android type of figure is coming into existence while
it contemplates a small sphere that seemingly contains a universe, which is generated from its umbilical-like cord.
The end reveals that it is inhabiting a similar sphere which then turns into the event horizon of a black hole.
The piece refers as much to the Gravitational/SpaceTime Singularity as to the Technological Singularity with its Android/AI type of figure.

Three Books That Gave Me Perspective As A Creative
As with any major turning point in life, a birthday is a highlight that you've reached another year in life, bringing to this new year all the wisdom and experience from the old. Personally, one of the things that helped me reach this next level of thought that I talked about in a previous post was a group of books from various authors. Here are three of my picks and how they can help you.
Real Artists Have Day Jobs by Sara Benincasa
I came across Sara's writing on Medium, and was instantly enthralled as I found it both extremely witty and hilarious. Real Artists offers many lessons for anyone trying to make it as a creative, but my biggest takeaways are:
"Life is too short to waste time pretending to be small and inconsequential when you are actually as vast and powerful as a distant star."
"If I was to get what I wanted from life... I had to act like I owned it."
In essence, showing up every day and being confident about who you are, what you want, and asking for it comes across to the other people in the room, and it can make a total difference in how you approach everything from business deals to relationships.
The Keys by DJ Khaled
DJ Khaled's positivity and willingness to do what's needed to make things happen serves at the backbone throughout the whole book. A few of the Major 🗝's I loved were:
Having vision is essential.
Work ethic and passion are important
Authenticity matters
David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell
Malcom takes case studies throughout history, and examines how underdogs can overcome challenges that may appear.
"The powerful and strong are not always what they seem."
Sometimes, the best way to overcome a powerful opportunity is to not challenge them on their own strengths, but playing to your own
"Courage is not something that you already have that makes you brave when the tough times start. Courage is what you earn when you've been through the tough times and you discover that they aren't so tough at all."
Taking the lessons from each of these books has given me insight to explore my artwork in a more bold, authentic manner, and own what I do. Hopefully these lessons and books can serve you as well.

Built in 1975, this organ reflects the tradition of "American Classic" organ design, with tonal elements from several different historical eras. The versatile specification makes it a fine candidate for playing service music and organ literature. It features the "Universal Air Chest," unique to Austin organs.
There are four separate cases, each of which is 141" tall. The dimensions of the floor plans of the four spaces are 98" x 77", 97" x 48", 97" x 48", 98" x 77".
Because it's broken into four separate rooms that are relatively compact, this organ would be relatively easy to move to a new location without modification.

Scroll down for more information about this coin.
The ancient town of Celsa is the current town of Velilla de Ebro in Aragon, northern eastern Spain. During the Republican period just prior to the striking on this coin, the city name of KELSE was found on the reverse dies. During the Triumviral period the city name was changed to Lepida, undoubtedly a reference to Lepidus. Once Augustus was in power the coinage returned to the original city name of CELSA. This continued throughout the reign of Augustus and Tiberius.

I do like it when the Doctor does something different. I mean, rarely a week goes by in which he's not breaking and entering, trespassing or meddling with fixed points in time, but robbing a bank – that has the potential to be interesting…
[Spoilers below the line]
The idea of a mysterious "Architect" instructing the Doctor, Clara and two other people to rob the Bank of Karabraxos – a seemingly impossible task – is sold beautifully at the start. Like the amnesiac would-be bank robbers, we're hustled into the story with such speed and efficiency that it's a while before we're given enough time to start piecing things together for ourselves.
I love the Teller and I love that we're given such a whopping great clue right at the start (not that I noticed the orange overalls at the time and I misattributed the restraints – as I was meant to). And I enjoyed the line about encouraging honest financial transactions. I'm not saying we should turn the brains of the bankers who caused the global financial crisis to to soup, but it's good to remind them that we haven't forgotten, and won't be forgetting anytime soon.
What I did work out at the third suitcase was who the Architect had to be – well, honestly, there's only one person we know who is smart enough to break into the bank in advance of breaking into the bank, right?
I'm going to ignore the fact that this (combined with the fact that Steven Moffat is incapable of killing anyone and actually leaving them dead), sucked the jeopardy right out of the next 20 minutes. I can do this because, although Hat Jr doesn't write these reviews, she was still invested in the story (which isn't always the case) and stayed there until the end.
What I'm struggling to ignore is the vaguely abusive tone of the Doctor and Clara's relationship – summed up by Psi pinpointing how good Clara is at making excuses for the Doctor. I'm more than ready for a flirt-free Doctor/Companion relationship, but there's a nasty edge here that I'm increasingly disquieted by – the slaps, the aggression, the not-funny putdowns about Clara's looks, the Doctor competing for Clara's attention ("Robbing a bank, robbing a whole bank, beat that for a date") – and I'd like it to stop please.
Anyway, back in the story, after two not-really-deaths we've reached the final-impossible-lock moment. Was I the only one hearing Alan Rickman's voice as the solar storm made the lights flicker? ("You asked for miracles, Theo, I give you the FBI…")
We've also reached the vault and found two of the three rewards. Unfortunately, the Teller has also caught up with our heroes… In a convenient, conventional narrative twist Keeley Hawes' Ms Delphox doesn't turn their brains to soup, and because Saibra and Psi didn't really die our heroes are freed to finish their mission. And for all that I'm tired of love saving the day, I am happy that the purpose of saving the day was the love of two rhino-hooved, stalk-eyed beasties.
I do have a couple more quibbles. One of those is appropriation from other stories, and I say this as someone who generally loves a bit of crossover. But if you're doing it on purpose you need to do it with love or wit (preferably both) and if you're just being lazy, then you shouldn't do it all. Neither dressing Keeley Hawes to resemble Miss Foster (Partners in Crime, series 4) or reusing the smoke-filled alien tanks from Torchwood: Children of Earth fits my first criteria. The Hustle-style shooting in early scenes did work, but needed to be used more – as it is, it feels like someone lost confidence in the joke halfway through.
I'm also puzzled as to why the bank guards were wearing army camouflage. They could have gone for Swat-team black and looked just as menacing. I'm hoping it's not a weak way to sustain the soldiering theme touched on in Into the Dalek.
But overall, this was the strongest episode of this series and gets a thumbs up from both of us at Hat Towers. I have my qualms about next week (as did Hat Jr, who asked where the monsters were when watching the trailer…) but fingers crossed that I'm being unnecessarily pessimistic.

Taxman, Too Young, Will It Go Round In Circles, Seventh Step, Stay Through, Yo Se, Piece of Mine, Boogie On Reggae Woman, Boo Boo's Pik-A-Nik, The Way That It Goes, Naive Melody, Peregrino
Special Guests:
Michael Kang: Electric Mandolin, Fiddle
The anticipation was building all day at work, the weather was going to hold, we were staying at a friends just uphill from the festivities, this was going to be a good night of music and I didn't even have to leave the beautiful Roaring Fork Valley that I call home!
Heading down to the festival grounds around 6pm ready for the Kyle Hollingsworth Band set at 6:30pm I couldn't help but notice all the people enjoying some frosty barley sodas. There were brewers from all over the country handing out samples to the thirsty crowd. I was thinking this seems like a perfect venue for our friend Kyle Hollingsworth as we all know he is a fan of some tasty hoppy beverages.
Seeing the band come on stage I let out a cheer but noticed me and a few other local FOCers were the only ones standing front and center ready to get down to some good music. Everyone else was still over indulging in the adult beverages while the free pours lasted. The band started playing Taxman and a handful of us immediately started moving our hips.
The band started to get into their groove and played Too Young and then Will It Go Round In Circles which started to get the crowd closer to the stage rather than to the plethora of beer tents. Garret Sayers laid down some funky bass to open Seventh Step which had some nice solos from Kang and Kyle. You could really start feeling the natural chemistry start to brew on stage with old bandmates reuniting on stage together. Smiles were bouncing back and forth between one another.
Seventh Step led into Stay Through with its funky reggae vibe. We were all feeling good in the crowd and it was hard to wipe the smiles off our faces as we were grooving to great music, cold beer and mountain scenery. Yo Se was up next and you can guess that there were some more great solos by all. Piece of Mine followed and Kang played it on his mando rather than a guitar as I have become accustomed to seeing when he plays this tune with String Cheese. A handful of us couldn't help but from helping out with the chorus and doing our own choreography.
Boogie on Reggae Woman was next which Kang took the lead on vocals for. Looking around everyone that was there was groovin'. The solos in Boogie On lead into a highlight of the show Boo Boo's Picnic! Super fun song, everyone was still dancing and great swapping solos from Kang and Dan. OK, now I'm really thirsty and there's the Stone brewing tent, ahhh much better.
A brief rest after Boo Boo's was needed and Kyle introduced the next tune from his new album, Way That It Goes. And then next Naive Melody at which point several local friends were blown away by how well it was played. Yep, that's Kyle for ya. Naive went into some great jamming at which point Kang brought out the fiddle. The jam was super groovy and high energy as Kang took hold of the crowd with his sweet fiddle sounds. The jam went into Peregrino and the set came to a close. OK, the crowd wants more and more!
A brief side stage discussion led into a multi-tune encore starting with Bam! which was played very well and then All Inside from the new album which was also very fun. From everywhere I could see the crowd was grooving. The set closer was Phat Cat and we were all itchin' for more as it wasn't even dark out yet.
Thank you Kyle, Kang, Dave, Garrett, and Dan for coming up to the Roaring Fork Valley! This show was a great prelude to what's to come this summer from Kyle and Kang in their other band known as the String Cheese Incident!
The summer has just begun!

In this thesis I deal with a problem that became important in our recent past. It is about information technology and how it can help the medical sector to identify illness that shows up in the degrading of cognitive functions. And also about helping doctors to possess up-to-date information about their patients mental wellness, thus helping them to forego irreversible decline of their patients' health state.
In the first part, I search for such technologies, and gather information about how they work, and what their goals are. Then I analyze them from different aspects, and compare them to each other.
In the second part I make plans of a simple computer game, and create an implemen-tation. With this game I would like to show how can one make simple games that can be played by a wide range of people, and which collect data about the players' cognitive functions, thus making it possible to indicate changes in their mental wellness. This also marks the path for my studies about building entertaining computer products that collect data in the background for medical purposes.

So a couple of posts back I voiced my disappointment that David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim weren't going to be able to make it to the annual Mothman Festival this year. I decided to write him an email (couldn't find one for Sun-Min, but he'll get the message to her I'm sure) letting him know that we were sad they wouldn't be coming, but that we hoped they could make it next year. He was kind enough to write back and thank me. (And he said he wold try to make it down here, although the festival is probably out for next year as well due to business elsewhere.)
I then realized that despite the popularity of UglyDolls and their other works, most people still don't know who I'm talking about. Um, sorry about that! They are totally awesome toy designers and have put out several books between them, including David's Bossy Bear- Violet's favorite. There is a new Bossy Bear book out and we're so excited to get it.
David designed some Mothman dolls that are so cool. Check it out-
I promised him that we would buy them Mothman-shaped pancakes if they can make it. I'm not above bribery!
Violet with her Bossy Bear vinyl, looking oddly similar here:Sun-Min and David, being so adorable they should go forth and procreate immediately.

Exotic Nutrition's Squirrel Booster ensures that your squirrel is getting the vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive. Feeding a balanced diet is a priority for good health and wellbeing, and vitamin supplements can help fill any nutritional voids. If at least 75% of your squirrel's diet is made up of Exotic Nutrition's Deluxe Squirrel Diet, supplements are optional, because the pellet diet already contains added vitamins and nutrients. Click here to view a breakdown of the vitamins and minerals in this booster.
INGREDIENTS: soybean meal, soy flour, vitamin a & d oil, dicalcium phosphate, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin A & D3 supplement, choline chloride, vitamin K supplement, calcium pantothenate, niacin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine hydrochloride, riboflavin, biotin.
*Soy is the most complete vegetable-sourced protein but can block the absorption of calcium, which is why we recommend feeding the Squirrel-Cal along with this Booster to prevent any vitamin deficiencies.
DOSAGE: Mixing Squirrel-Cal with Squirrel Booster will bring optimum results. Sprinkle a pinch of booster and a pinch of Squirrel-Cal on your pet's food daily. Or mix 1 tbsp of Squirrel-Cal with 1 tbsp of Squirrel Booster per pound of food.
What Are Probiotics?
Direct-fed microbials (probiotics) produce antibiotic-like substances that help prevent certain bacterial infections, help produce enzymes that aid in digestion, and help lower the pH of the gastrointestinal tract.

My fuzz is acting like a young kid again! She is 10 yrs old
by Anonymous on July 24, 2017
I used Squirrel Booster as a supplement to treat a very ill squirrel with mange with excellent results. The use of a light pet antibiotic, Ivermectin and Squirrel Booster daily in a peanut butter sandwich for about 8 days, took what looked like a dying, furless, raw skinned Squirrel and made her begin to look and act miraculously healthy again. Her fur has amazingly grown back over a course of about 3 weeks and has been a very rewarding experience. (This squirrel came to my door for help... falling over with patches of bare skin and open sores). I give her Squirrel Boster in a peanut butter and banana sandwich everyday as she continues to improve and gain significant weight .Her sores have healed and her fur has grown back. She is hard to pick out from the other squirrels now because she looks so good. However, she knows to come to me for food. I would love to post before and after pics if I could. You would need to see it to believe the amazing trnsformation of this sweet little squirrel. Amazing product. I highly recommend!

Role of graphic designing in branding varies from places to places and spot to spot. In branding role of graphic designing begins form the designing of a spectacular and nice looking logo. Without a nice looking logo designing, creative graphics designing in Delhi is unaccomplished to its creative manifestation and creative result.
Below are Some of the Most Popular Tips for Clever Logo Designing Ideas in Delhi:-
- The first important point to logo designing is that it should be very unique, extraordinary and clever. A logo's first purpose is that it should be uniquely different from its competitors. A logo, essentially should be different from others already existed in the market. The logo always should be very different from and be out of the box as well.
- The next important point to logo designing and development understands the brand for what it is meant to be created for. Logos should be designed in a way to be catered towards a specific audience kept in the mind. All the important aspects about the brand clamoring in the mind should be ideally decorated on the white boards to have a go through of the brand's ideology. You should concentrate only towards aesthetics of design instead of delving into a deeper meaning. The focus should be on the varying aspects of designing ranging from the evoking emotions, being contemporary on the way to creative logo design Delhi.
- Color is an important element of the logo designing as well. Bright and bold colors happen to be so strong enough that they can catch anyone's attention immediately. However, colors with the brash muted tone with a sense of sophistication leaves a better impression over an audience

After recording a comprehensive win the first T20I of the three-match series, India were widely tipped to win the second game in Centurion and take an unassailable 2-0 lead against South Africa. Contrary to expectations, the Proteas managed to bounce back in style and leveled the series 1-1 to setup a mouth-watering series finale in the 3rd T20I in Cape Town on Saturday (February 24). On that note, we look at the predicted XI line-ups for both teams.
Had they won the Centurion T20I, captain Virat Kohli and the Indian team management had a chance of experimenting with their lineup and give the fringe players a chance to impress in the final game of the series. It wasn't to be and the Indians are likely to go in with their best eleven so as to win the series and finish the long South African sojourn on a high.
South Africa, on the other hand, registered a much needed win and kept their hopes of winning the T20 series alive. A new-look Proteas side, led by JP Duminy, will be hoping to put their best foot forward in the third match and go head to head with the Indians.
South Africa v India, 3rd T20I: Predicted XI line-ups.
India Predicted XI for 3rd T20I:
Rohit Sharma
Barring his match-winning century in the 5th ODI on February 13 in Port Elizabeth, Rohit Sharma has endured a torrid time out in the Rainbow nation. The Mumbai Indians skipper has also failed to deliver in the first two matches of the T20I series and will be hoping to make up for it by playing a solid knock at the top of the order in the series finale on Saturday.
Shikhar Dhawan
Unlike Rohit, his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan has well and truly redeemed himself in the limited-overs leg of this tour and has been India's best batsman on show after captain Virat Kohli. After scoring an important fifty in the first T20I, Dhawan was also quick to get off the blocks in his second outing in the series before miscuing a full toss and throwing his wicket away. The Delhi southpaw will once again be an important cog in India's wheel in the third and final match of this series.
Suresh Raina
Being given the chance to play his natural game at the crucial No.3 spot, Raina has only shown glimpses of what he is capable doing in the T20 format in the first two matches of the series so far. The veteran left-hander has been a live wire in the field for India and has been electric with his deep fielding skills in the death overs. The Uttar Pradesh-skipper will be itching to play a game-changing innings on Saturday and justify his selection in the Indian team.
Virat Kohli (c)
After four sublime centuries in the Test and ODI legs of this tour, skipper Virat Kohli has looked a bit jaded in the T20I series and is believed to be carrying a few niggles. The Indian run-machine has given up his preferred No.3 slot to the returning Suresh Raina and clearly hasn't been at his best while batting in the middle-order. Nevertheless, come the third T20I, Kohli will aim for one final flourish and this tour on a winning note.
Manish Pandey
Having been made to warm the bench in the six-match ODI series, Manish Pandey has come across as India's best batsman in the T20I series and was particularly impressive in the Centurion game, albeit in a losing cause. The Karnataka-batsman will be hoping to carry his form in the series decider on Saturday in a bid to seal a permanent place in India's limited-overs sides.
MS Dhoni (wk)
After a lukewarm outing in the series opener in Johannesburg, MS Dhoni rolled back the years and made his way to an exhilarating half-century in the second T20I. The former captain was in vintage Dhoni mode and was instrumental in India being able to post a 180+ score in the match. There is no doubting Dhoni's glovework and ability behind the wickets but it was his batting in Centurion that must have warmed the hearts of millions of Indian fans who will be hoping for more of the same from the legendary gloveman.
Hardik Pandya
After a scintillating start with the bat in the first Test in Cape Town, Hardik Pandya has clearly felt the weight of the all-rounder's tag on this tour and has failed to impress in the limited-overs leg of this long tour. The Mumbai Indians-star has long been touted as the first genuine all-rounder to emerge out of India after the retirement of the great Kapil Dev and will have to put up a much better show in the T20I series finale is he is keep that reputation intact.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Had India won the second T20I in Centurion, Bhuvneshwar Kumar might have been rested for the third game on Saturday. But with the series in balance, Bhuvi will once again be out on the field as the spearhead of India's young attack and hope to swing the match in his team's favour. The king of swing picked up a rare five-wicket haul in the first match of the series and captain Virat Kohli will be looking forward to more of the same from his premier bowler. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is added to the predicted XI for 3rd T20I in Cape Town.
Kuldeep Yadav
After sitting out of the first two games due to an injury, chinaman Kuldeep Yadav is expected to be back to bolster India's bowling attack for the all-important 3rd T20I and dominate the South African batsmen for one final time on this tour. The young spin wizard was the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded six-match ODI series and his inclusion will certainly boost India's bowling attack for the series decider.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Having gone for 64 runs in his quota of 4 overs in the second game of the series, Yuzvendra Chahal will be itching to make amends and bring an end to what has been an extremely successful tour for him. The wily leg-spinner was surprisingly taken to the cleaners by the Proteas' wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen in Centurion but is expected to be handy and his usual efficient self on a dry Cape Town wicket in the final match of the series. Hence, Chahal is added to the predicted XI line-up for India for the 3rd T20I.
Jasprit Bumrah
After missing the last game due to a minor niggle, we count Jasprit Bumrah back in the Predicted XI, as he will also return for the 3rd T20I to bolster India's bowling attack. The recently crowned No. 1 ODI bowler has been among the best bowlers on show in all three formats on this long-drawn tour and will certainly hope to finish the T20I series on a winning note.
South Africa Predicted XI for 3rd T20I
Reeza Hendricks, JJ Smuts, JP Duminy (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Farhaan Behardien, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Dane Paterson, Junior Dala, Tabraiz Shamsi

How to Choose a Color for Your Home's New Awnings
Residential awnings come in many colors, shapes, and sizes. It may be difficult to choose the perfect awnings for your home with this many options. However, there are a few ways to help you choose the best color for your home's new awnings. Let's take a closer look.
If you are part of a homeowner's association, then ask about any color restrictions. Many homeowner's associations require that homeowners choose from a set selection of colors that will match the colors of neighborhood homes. Next, look at your house's dominating color, and find an awning that will match or complement your house's paint. You can choose a bold or neutral awning color, but ensure that it does not detract from your home's appeal.

Reasons to Enhance Your Outdoor Living Area with a Shade Sail
When you need a new patio cover, look at the many possibilities of a shade sail. With a shade sail, your outdoor living area will be better protected from the sun, and it will look more attractive with a colorful shade sail addition. Continue reading for more reasons why a shade sail will enhance your outdoor living area.
They are attractive.
Shade sails are attractive additions to your outdoor living area. They come in a variety of colors and shapes, which contribute to the architectural design and décor of your backyard. When you have spent so much time making your outdoor living area a comfortable gathering spot, you should not stop short by failing to cover and shade the area.
They are large.
There are several types of patio cover installations, such as awnings and Roman shades. Shade sails are large and will cover a significant amount of your backyard space. If you require more sun coverage, then you can install more shade sails. The different colors and sizes can complement and cover each other to provide your yard with the most amount of coverage.
They are removable.
If you wish to have more sunlight, possibly during the winter months, then you can easily remove your shade sails. Shade sails are typically clipped onto an eye bolt that has been screwed into a post. You can unclip your shade sail from the eye bolts whenever you wish for sun exposure.
They block sun rays.
You can reduce the amount of sun damage to your family and your outdoor living furniture with a shade sail. These patio covers block the sun's ultraviolet radiation, which will reduce sunburns on your skin and fading on your furniture.
Enhance your outdoor living and entire property with the help of Moran Canvas Products and our sun shade sails in San Diego, CA . We also provide outdoor curtains and solar screens to protect your interior. Please call us at (619) 462-7778 to learn more about our vast selection.
Learn Why It's Important to Prevent Heat Gain Through Your Windows
Heat gain from the sun can be a big energy-drain on your home. As you can see in the short, animated video, windows account for up to 50% of the heat that enters your home. If your windows are not protected by awnings, outdoor curtains, or solar screens, then your air conditioner may work too hard to cool your house. Continue reading to see why window covers are so important.
When you have a screen or awning installation, you can reduce your home's heat gain by up to 80%. This reduction will save you significantly on cooling costs, and it will reduce frequent repairs and replacement costs on your air conditioner.

Questions to Ask Yourself When Selecting a Commercial Awning
Awnings are a great way to attract customers and protect your business. You can customize your awning to advertise your business, and you can reap the many other rewards that come with a commercial awning. Read on to see the answers to some questions you should ask yourself when selecting a commercial awning .
Should I choose a fixed or retractable awning?
You can receive the same benefits of an awning, whether you choose a fixed awning installation or a retractable option. However, a retractable awning will give you more control over the amount of sunlight and warmth that enters your establishment. When you choose a retractable awning, you can choose to block or unblock the sun during the winter. This can reduce your heating bills, which will save you energy costs year-round. If you choose a fixed awning, then you will have shade and sun blockage throughout the year.
How can I customize a commercial awning?
There are several ways to customize your commercial awning. You can choose a specific color that matches your business' color scheme. There are also awning designs that can add originality to your establishment. You may also choose to put your company's name, logo, and slogan on the awning. These are great ways to attract new and returning customers to your building.
Can I properly maintain a commercial awning?
You may be concerned with keeping your commercial awning properly maintained, which is an important factor to the life and look of the awning. Thankfully, awning maintenance is not a difficult task. There are awning cleaning services, if your awnings become heavily soiled. However, if you regularly brush off loose dirt and hose down your awnings, then they largely should remain in great shape.

Will Afghanistan Be to Barack Obama What Vietnam Was to Lyndon Johnson?
• Both presidents were elected by substantial margins largely on the strength of their domestic agendas
• At their swearing-ins, both presidents inherited on-going conflicts
• Both made early decisions to send additional troops into the conflicts
• Both conflicts were/are guerrilla-type wars involving cultures alien to the west
• Vietnam and Afghanistan had/have long histories of defeating invaders of their lands
1. What should be Obama's policy in Afghanistan?
2. Following Johnson, Nixon said, "I'm not going to be the first American president to lose a war." Could that kind of thinking play a part in Obama's policy?
3. How could Obama pull out of Afghanistan without damaging America's "leadership" role?
4. Do you think that Islamic fanaticism can be overcome? How?

Photograph 51
There is a very significant and compelling play currently in performance at the Fountain Theatre (located in Los Angeles on Fountain Ave just east of Normandie Ave.:
Photograph 51 — the story about Dr. Rosalind Franklin (PHD – Biochemistry)
Based on a true story and events that ultimately led to the uncovering of the "secret of life," or in scientific jargon: the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and the form of the Double Helix. This ultimately provided the key factor in the complete analysis of the human genome 50 years later by J. Craig Venter and the NIH.
But the play is about the British biochemist, Rosalind Franklin, whose use of ultra high speed X-ray photography provided the image of DNA that proved the structure of the Double Helix. Unfortunately, being a woman (and a Jew!) in man's realm at Kings College at Cambridge, she was forced to work with Maurice Wilkins — a misogynous, ego-driven colleague, who was disdainful and jealous of Franklin, who secretly passed on the photograph to Crick and Watson.
Now the most fascinating part is the British and the American scientists (Crick and Watson) were awarded the Nobel Prize (also shared by Wilkins) for this achievement without a mention of the contribution of Rosalind Franklin.
Notwithstanding my education in Biochemistry (B.S.-USC 1951), which certainly enhanced my enjoyment of the play, one doesn't need to really understand the technology or bioscience. This script and the actors were superb, and the drama invoked made this an award-winning play. In fact, it was the recipient of the STAGE Prize (plays based on science and technology).
The play runs through mid-May. Call the box office (323) 663-1098 for tickets — I guarantee that you will enjoy every minute! –Art TurkRead Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )
A Skeptic Considers His Jewish Origins
I am submitting this "essay" to the SAGE BLOG…believing that our members are given to question even the most certain of all "facts." I shall be interested to hear other views on this subject.
Some years ago, while reading the second book of the Jewish Bible, Exodus, I came across the words, "Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph." At that time, I was interested in the story of the Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten, his religious revolution, and his founding of a new capital, Amarna on the Nile. I had learned that, soon after his early death, the previously displaced priesthood obliterated all traces of his capital and his revolution.
The question then arose: "What happened to the priests and people of Amarna?" This note is my conjectural response to that question. It is not intended as a scholarly article…no references or attributions are included…but I have made a sincere effort to present a factual background to the premise I present. Several of the underlying historical bases are given below:
Hammurabi (1810 – 1750 BC): was the first king of the Babylonian Empire, extending Babylon's control over Mesopotamia by winning a series of wars against neighboring kingdoms. Hammurabi is known for the set of laws called Hammurabi's Code, one of the first written codes of law in recorded history. These laws were placed in a public place so that all could see. The code contained 282 laws, written on 12 tablets. The structure of the code is very specific, with each offense receiving a specified punishment.
The punishments tended to be harsh by modern standards, with many offenses resulting in death, disfigurement, or the use of the "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth" philosophy. Putting the laws into writing was important in itself because it suggested that the laws were immutable and above the power of any earthly king to change. The code is also one of the earliest examples of the idea of presumption of innocence, and it also suggests that the accused and accuser have the opportunity to provide evidence. However, there is no provision for extenuating circumstances to alter the prescribed punishment.
Pharaoh Akhenaten (1350 – 1334 BC): (also known as Amenhotep IV) founded a new religion dedicated to the worship of the Aten (the "sun god"). To establish his new faith, he abandoned Thebes, (the old capital), and built a new capital, Amarna, about 190 miles south of Cairo.
Before Akhenaten, the placing of one god in a privileged position never threatened the existence of the remaining gods. The one and the many had been treated as complementary throughout Egyptian history and gods were not mutually exclusive. The Aten, however, was made the only god. The transformation became visibly apparent because of the unparalleled persecution of traditional gods, above all, Amun.* Akhenaten stonemasons swarmed the country and even abroad to remove the name of Amun from all accessible monuments, including even the tips of obelisks, under the gilding on columns and in the letters of the achieves (In fact, Egyptologists use these erasures and later restorations of the name of Amun in order to date monuments to the period before Amarna).
Though Amun felt the worst of the Akhenaten revolution, other gods were also eliminated. He also fought bitterly against the powerful priests who attempted to maintain the worship of the old gods. A new religious literature also arose. This blossoming of culture, however, did not continue after Akhenaten's death. His son-in-law, Tutankhamen, abandoned Amarna, moved the capital back to Thebes and restored the old polytheistic religion. In the third year of Tutankhamun's reign (1331 BC), when he was still a boy at the age eleven and probably under the influence of two older advisors (Akhenaten's vizier Ay and perhaps Nefertiti), the ban on the old pantheon of deities and their temples was lifted, the traditional privileges were restored to their priesthoods, and the capital was moved back to Thebes.
Amarna Letters (14th century BC): written to Egyptian pharaohs in a time of unrest in Canaan, are an archive of correspondence on clay tablets, mostly diplomatic, between the Egyptian administration and its representatives in Canaan and Amurru in the New Kingdom. Abdi-Hiba, governor of Jerusalem, wrote numerous letters to the pharaoh beseeching Egyptian aid against the encroaching Habiru, if the country [i.e., Canaan] were to be saved for Egypt:
The Habiru plunder all lands of the king.
If archers are here
this year, then the lands of the king,
the Lord, will remain; but if the archers are not here,
then the lands of the king, my lord, are lost.
From Samuel A. B. Mercer, The Tell El-Amarna Tablets (Toronto 1939), Vol. II, no 287, lines 56-60.
The Habiru: When the Tell el-Amarna archives were translated, some scholars eagerly equated these Habiru with the Biblical Hebrews. Besides the similarity of their spellings, the description of the Habiru attacking cities in Canaan seemed to fit, loosely, the Biblical account of the conquest of that land by Hebrews under Joshua or even by names with David's Hebrew rally against Saul. However, other scholars assert that the Hebrews were actually spelt as IBRI in Egyptian, however the fact that the Egyptian script was a consonant-only script makes this conjecture unlikely.
Scholarly opinion remains divided on this issue. Some scholars still think that the Habiru were a component of the later peoples who inhabited the kingdoms ruled by Saul, David, Solomon and their successors in Judah and Israel. There have also been theories relating the Habiru to the Biblical personages of Eber and Abraham. While some scholars agree that the genealogies traced from Abraham are based on cultural beliefs and are without historical foundation, there are some who feel that perhaps Eber represents an etymological link to the Habiru.
The Babylonian Exile: In 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II captured Jersusalem, destroyed its Temple, and deported its leaders and most of its population to Babylon. At the time, the Babylonian Empire was the most powerful state in the ancient world stretching from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. They had a system of gods, each with a main temple in each of its cities. The chief gods were Anu, god of heaven; Enlil, god of the air; and Enki or Ea, god of the sea. Others were Shamash, the sungod; Sin, the moon-god; Ishtar, goddess of love and war; and Adad, the storm-god.
Babylonian literature was mainly dominated by mythology and legends. Among these was a creation myth written to glorify their god Marduk. According to this myth, Marduk created heaven and earth from the corpse of the goddess Tiamat. Another work was the Gilgamesh Epic, a flood story written about 2000 BC. Scientific literature of the Babylonians included treatises on astronomy, mathematics, medicine, chemistry, botany, and nature. And, as noted above, the Empire was governed by a set of laws: The Hammurabi Code. This period saw the emergence of scribes and sages in the Jewish leadership and the addition of prophetic books of the Bible. The period also saw the emergence of the central role of the Torah in the life of the Jews.
The Torah: There is evidence that the Pentateuch [five books of Moses] was written over the course of several centuries (900 -500 BC) and that the final version, including the prophets and psalms, came into existence some time after the Exile. The Torah's account of the Exodus, therefore, was of biblical events that had transpired many centuries earlier and had been transmitted orally from one generation to the next.
My Premise:
There is evidence that, with the early demise of Akhenaten (however it may have happened), the old priesthood and succeeding Pharaohs made every effort to eradicate all traces of Amarna and of Akhenaten. What then, might we imagine would have happened to the Amarna priesthood and it's followers? My premise is that, pursued by its enemies, it may have been enslaved, but eventually fled north, entered the land of Canaan [now Israel], warred with and intermarried with the indigenous people, and founded the early Hebrew religion…a religion based on principles derived from Amarna [monotheism and circumcision] and intermixed with the myths and legends of Mesopotamia. It is worth noting that the time period and ancient references to the "Habirus" is not inconsistent with the exodus of the ancient Hebrews.
The Amarna "exodus" would not likely have brought a set of written laws to their new land; there is no evidence of a set of laws applying to the Egyptians in the Amarna period …after all, the pharaohs were considered "gods"…their decrees were law. But, as noted above, there was a set of laws (Hammurabi's Code) applying to Canaan as part of the Babylonian empire.
When Nebuchadrezzar captured Jerusalem in 598 BC, destroying both the city and the Temple, he deported most of its leaders and a sizable portion of the Jewish population to Babylon. Some biblical scholars believe it was during this exile, that the first books of the Torah (Bible) were written and some agree that the final version was completed during that time. Thus it is possible that the Hebrew scribes melded ancient Babylonian beliefs and laws with the oral history of the Exodus to create the Torah.
A final note: There is no evidence that the indigenous people of Canaan practiced monotheism and/or circumcision; in contrast, there is evidence that Akenhanen and his followers did. This would seem to support the premise. The optional case is…that God told Abraham [Genesis 17] "You shall be circumcised through the flesh of your foreskin…this shall be the mark of the covenant between me and you"… and [Deuteronomy 5] that "Thou shall have no other gods before me."
Relevant Reading
Moses and Monotheism
By Sigmund Freud
It was first published in 1939. In it, Freud argues that Moses was actually an Ancient Egyptian and in some way related to Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist. The book was written in three parts and was a departure from the rest of Freud's work on psychoanalytic theory. The book does contain discussion of Freud's psychoanalytic thinking but was intended as a work of history.
In Moses and Monotheism, Freud contradicts the Biblical story of Moses with his own retelling of events claiming that Moses only led his close followers into freedom and that they subsequently killed Moses in rebellion either to his strong faith or to circumcision. Freud explains that years after the murder of Moses, the rebels formed a religion which promoted Moses as the Saviour of the Israelites. Freud said that the guilt from the murder of Moses is inherited through the generations; this guilt then drives the Jews to religion to make them feel better. Most historians since the 1960's reject the legitimacy of Psychohistory including Freud's theories.
Joseph and His Brothers
By Thomas Mann
Published over the course of 16 years, Mann's work retells the familiar stories of Genesis, from Jacob to Joseph (chapters 27-50). Mann considered it his greatest work. Abraham is repeatedly presented as the man who "discovered God" (a Hanif, or discoverer of monotheism). Jacob as Abraham's heir is charged with further elaborating this discovery. Joseph is surprised to find Akhenaten on the same path (although Akhenaten is not the "right person" for the path), and Joseph's success with the pharaoh is largely due to the latter's sympathy for "Abrahamic" theology.
Such a connection of (proto-)Judaism and Atenism had been suggested before Mann, and notably just before Mann began work on the tetralogy's forth part by Sigmund Freud in his Moses and Monotheism (1939), although here Akhenaten is postulated as a contemporary of Moses (whereas the usual postulate concerning the contemporary pharaoh of Moses, also adopted by Thomas Mann in his novella Das Gesetz (1944), is Ramesses II).
A Radical Approach to Jewish History
By Al Mellman
This book offers a unique quadratic theory for learning about our past 4,000 years of Jewish life, including original theories exploding myths and shattering dated hypotheses.

Walking the Bible
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )
I was browsing through the library the other day mildly frustrated because there were no books which caught my fancy. Then as I was about to leave, I noticed the book Walking the Bible: a Journey by Land Through the Five Books of Moses by Bruce Feiler.
Its title intrigued me. I further examined it and discovered that the author was writing about his experiences in recapturing the meaning of the the first five books of the Bible by walking and exploring the sites which are central to the Bible. I just started to read and so far it has intrigued me. I trust I can get through its 400 some pages. –Al Ross

Girl born without a brain defies all odds
When Ailish Wheatley came into this world, doctors said it was unlikely she would make it past her first birthday.

CALGARY – Patricia Wheatly has made it her life's work to raise children with special needs.
But eleven years ago, she wasn't prepared for the phone call she was about to receive.
When Ailish came into this world doctors knew each day would be a struggle.
Born without a brain, it was unlikely that she would see her first birthday – but that didn't stop Patricia from reaching out to help her when contacted by social services.
"I I think spent probably the first three months thinking this is it," says Patricia.
Ailish's disability was severe; in place of her brain was only a sack of fluid and her brain stem was running the show.
"What you'll be told is that they won't recognize you, they won't think, they won't feel, they don't do anything," says Patricia.
"But that's not the case."
Astonishingly, Ailish laughed when appropriate and loved to be sung to. She even knew when it was time to be held.
"I thought anything was possible at that time," says Patricia.
And many things were.
Last year, Ailish accomplished something incredible – she turned 10 years old.
"She had this big birthday brunch. We did the big banquet room and everyone near and dear came," says Patricia.
"She loved it, she was thrilled."
Sadly, Ailish passed away last March.
But for a girl who wasn't supposed to survive one year and be capable of very few things, she is profoundly missed.
"The impact, the lessons that you learn and the impact that you have on the people you touch ... that's Ailish," says Patricia.
Ailish died following complications from an elective surgery to correct a spinal deformity.
According to the National Institute of health only a very rare few survive Ailish's disorder more than a year.
