Hot-coloured dress
Added Sep 7, 2010
London, United K...
Variant on AnaJan's AMC dress, resized and styled to fit a considerably shorter lady! I moved the zip from the centre-back to the side in order to be able to shorten it from 28" to 8", and trimmed the neck and hem with hand-made crochet lace in order to soften the rather square appearance caused by my alterations.
I wanted to find a use for the very vivid print, so chose this bi-coloured dress pattern in order to be able to tone it down a bit with the plain bodice. The pattern supplied in the PDF file was a bit on the big side – AnaJan is four or five inches taller than I am – but how long could it take, after all, to knock a couple of inches off the bust and four inches off the waist and hips? The answer turned out to be a week of daily experimentation, plus months of stitching. (There was almost a tragedy at the start of August, when I accidentally left the half-finished dress behind in a Wilts & Dorset bus; fortunately I managed to leap off the train and catch up with the bus at the terminus in time.)
I printed out the pattern as it was, cut out an experimental version in curtain lining material, and began folding, pinning and tacking by trial and error, while constantly trying on the result: a lot of the seams got re-tacked two or three times simply through wear and tear in the trying on. After carefully consulting my vintage sewing manual on "Dressmaking Alterations", I started off by taking a vertical slice out of the front and back. I'd hoped to gain the extra four inches in skirt length (the original was a little shorter over the knee than I'm comfortable with) but discovered, of course, that I then had to take out a horizontal section below the top of the bodice to pull the waist and bust points back into position. Despite this, the neckline somehow ended up quite a lot higher than in the original – again, this didn't worry me as I'm more comfortable showing less skin. After that, it was a matter of taking in a little here and a little there until I had a shape that pretty much fitted exactly.
I couldn't afford to go out and buy a 28" zip, so I used what I happened to have in the scrap bag, which was an 8" black zip. Used as a side opening this fitted more or less exactly the length of the minimum slit which I'd established as making it possible to wriggle in and out of the bodice!
Then the sleeves didn't match the pattern, and the back neckline gaped badly. I discovered later that these were issues AnaJan herself had addressed in a second draft – if I'd known there was an updated version I'd have based my own work off it in the first place, but as it was I had to come up with my own solutions. The sleeves I redrafted altogether (I had three goes at them over as many days, and as you can see the result still isn't entirely satisfactory); not having a zipper up the centre back, on the other hand, made it easy to slant these seams for a closer fit. I also ended up taking a couple of small tucks in the back just above the waistline to make the bodice fit more closely before flaring out over the hip; this doesn't really show up in the photos, unfortunately, but it gave a nice effect.
The end result in subtle-sheen green curtain lining fabric looked rather good (as others have commented, you get a quite different effect from this pattern when made up in a single block colour), so I decided to keep it for future re-assembly in its own right rather than cutting up the pieces to use as patterns. With the help of some tips from KateXXXXXX I managed to transfer my alterations back onto the paper pattern pieces.
I really will try to scan and upload my altered version of the dress pattern (bust 32"/waist 26"/hip 36") some time….
After that it was just a matter of cutting out the hot-coloured fabric, and months of hand sewing on all those long seams. According to my sewing manual, each backstitch was supposed to be approximately three weft threads in length; as seen in the seam close-up, I did my best! I used run-and-fell seams for all the interior stitching on the skirt, since this is both much quicker and neater than doing blanket-stitch along the edges of plain seams, and used French seams (as directed by my sewing manual) when setting in the sleeves. I'm afraid I left the rest of the bodice seams unfinished, since these are all covered up by the felled-down edges of the internal facings.
I had to go out and actually buy the black fabric and didn't get quite enough (it was obviously in a different width from the quantity specified in AnaJan's instructions), so skimped on all the seam allowances and just managed to squeeze the facings in. I obviously needed something to weigh down the hem at the bottom as the finished seam was only about 1/4" wide(!), so after the success of the narrow picot edging pattern I'd used on the neck and sleeve edges – see ultra-close-up photo – I embarked on the more ambitious project of learning how to do 'proper' crochet lace from one of my vintage patterns, and making up 64 inches to edge the bottom of the skirt. As you can see from the photo, the lace is somewhat elastic in nature so the bottom hem got gathered very slightly; with hindsight I should have done another repeat of the pattern.
Oddly enough the finished dress came out a little looser in fit than the tacked-up version, despite the firmer seams; it's a wriggle to get out of, but it's certainly not tight. In fact, thanks to the high neckline I'm actually posing for the photos with a thermal vest underneath – well, it was only about fifty degrees outside by this point!

It was on the front page of the Ottawa Citizen's March 17 "Saturday Observer" section.
The paper sat on a table beside Mom's comfy chair, where she keeps anything she wants to pass along to me. She knows that, like Jamie Hubley, whose passing touched me so deeply, hockey stories wouldn't normally need to be on that pile.
Beneath the headline a full one-third of the page is a picture of a hockey goaltender, his mask flipped up on his head. 21-year old Scott Heggart looks confidently into the camera and smiles, his right hand holding one of the goal-posts.
The online version does not include what is, for me, a very moving picture of Scott and his family, including boyfriend Brock – a picture large enough to fully cover "above the fold" on the third page – sister, father, boyfriend, Scott, mother and brother.
Scott has been chronicling his story by posting videos to YouTube here for a long time and one of his featured playlists "Coming Out" includes "First my take on coming out to my family, then my family's take; final note on the interviews with my family, followed by my advice to those looking to come out."
But it's the video of his appearance on CBC's "Q" with Jian Ghomeshi that opens his main page and summarizes what's been going on – fantastic! What an inspiration!

Liberty News
Thelma Wells encourages students to 'Dress for Success'
Thelma Wells, founder of A Woman of God Ministries, opened Liberty University's Friday convocation with a message on how to spiritually dress for success.
Wells was named Extraordinary Woman of the Year 2008 by Julie Clinton, host of the Extraordinary Women Conferences. (Clinton is the wife of Dr. Tim Clinton, executive director of the Center for Counseling and Family Studies at Liberty University.)
Using Ephesians 6, Wells said God outlines the armor of Christ that every Christian should use to withstand the wiles of Satan. Wells said one of the first things Satan attacks is our mind.
"If you want to dress for success, you've got to put on the helmet of salvation," she said.
Citing Romans 10:9, Wells said the helmet of salvation holds in and preserves our thoughts against him.
"Under this helmet your thought pattern will be different … you won't have to ask what would Jesus do because you'll be thinking of what He will do," she said.
Next Wells told students to pad their hearts by putting on the breastplate of righteousness. Righteousness rids Christians of the emotions of envy, jealousy, strife and lack of forgiveness. Wells said to gain this righteousness Christians must confess their sins and regularly read the Bible.
"Truth is in the word of God," she said.
Using Zeph. 3:17, Wells said Christians must have their feet sharpened with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
"Peace can only come from Jesus Christ," she said.
Wells closed by encouraging students to wear the shield of faith to win the battles against Satan.
"God says don't give in. God wants you to win and He's given you the 'dress to success' for every second of every minute of every day," she said.
Wells has authored several books, including her latest, "God Is Not Through With Me Yet," an inspiring examination of her own life experiences in which she encourages readers to "sing in the closets of their lives." She serves as the president of The Daughters of Zion Leadership Mentoring Program, an organization she founded in 2000. She has mentored over 100 spiritual daughters, received an honorary doctorate degree and was ordained into the Christian Ministry on Dec. 16, 2008, from St. Thomas Christian College and Theological Seminary and the Association of Christian Churches in Jacksonville, Florida.

Is It Too Much To Expect Judges In Tech Related Cases To Understand Tech?
from the just-saying... dept
What??? Putting aside the fact that the metatags were ignored by many of the search engines even at the relevant time (back in the late 1990s), this is a backwards way of assessing site visibility for the search term "Spoiled Brats." So what if the term Spoiled Brats wasn't in the metatags if the term was on the page?Once again, this raises questions about how those who are technically illiterate on specific subjects are able to make rulings where a basic understanding of how the tech works could make a pretty big difference on how a judgment comes out.

Samsung recently unleashed not one but two Android tablet computers that have the potential to derail the iPad 2 train. The two new tablets, simply called Galaxy Tab 8.9 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 are loaded with exciting features that could give Apple a run for its money.
At 8.6 millimeters (.33 inches) thin, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 are considered as the world's thinnest mobile tablets beating the iPad 2 by just a hairline in terms of slimness. They are also very light, weighing only around 470 grams and 595 grams respectively.
At 8.6 millimeters (.33 inches) thin, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 are considered as the world's thinnest mobile tablets beating the iPad 2 by just a hairline in terms of slimness. They are also very light, weighing only around 470 grams and 595 grams respectively.
Like the highly publicized Motorola Xoom, the new Galaxy Tabs runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb. However, its user interface is heavily customized using Samsung's TouchWiz UX, which aims to enhance the home screen by adding certain functionalities like the Mini Apps Tray and Live Panel. It is worth noting that Samsung has utilized the TouchWiz UI on some of its smartphones that include the slick i9000 Galaxy S.
In addition to the tweaked user interface, the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 are pre-installed with Readers Hub and Music Hub, enabling users to easily access more than 2.2 million books, 2,000 newspaper in 49 languages, 2,300 magazines in 22 languages, and over 13 million songs. They also come with Samsung's Social Hub that could aggregate email, contacts, calendar, instant messaging (IM), and social networks into a unified interface.
Looking at the hardware specifications, the latest Galaxy Tabs are fully equipped with features that could easily compete with or probably beat some of the latest Android-powered tablet PCs. Both are equipped with 1GHz dual-core processors (possibly NVIDIA Tegra 2), a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front camera, and will be available in 16GB or 32GB configurations. The camera at the back has a built-in LED flash and can record high-definition (HD) videos at 1080p. Although the two Galaxy Tabs have different screen sizes, their display resolutions are similar at 1280 x 800.
To get you all pumped up, here is a video of the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1:
As seen on the video above, the suggested retail prices of the new Galaxy Tabs are as follows:
8.9 (WiFi):
10.1 (WiFi):
Unlike the Motorola Xoom, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 are priced aggressively that those of you are planning to buy the iPad 2 should now think twice. In addition, the new Galaxy tabs have essential features that are absent on the Apple tablet such as microSD slot and Adobe Flash support, so I think their prices are really worth it.
Without doubt, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 are among the top Android tablet computers released to date and would likely stop the iPad 2 madness.
What do you think?

Last month they put on a show by High Places and Telepathe. After some quick Googling and downloading, here's what I found.
High Places are Mary Pearson and Robert Barber from Brooklyn. If I were being very lazy I would say 'a bit Animal Collective', and although that's not quite accurate, they do share something of a kindred spirit with the other more famous Brooklyn band. They've got a very nice line in glitchy, burbling electronic backing on which they lay some lovely meandering tunes, some of which could even be described as pop. The tracks, most of them pretty short all blend together nicely, making the album 03/07 – 09/07 (guess when the songs were recorded?) a pleasing and continuously woozy listening experience. One for languid summer evenings I think.
Download: High Places - Canary
The sound of Telepathe isn't a million miles away from High Places, just as their place of abode isn't (Brooklyn too, natch). They have a similar aesthetic – electronica with tunes on top, but Telepathe are a bit more dancefloor friendly, particularly with their remixes. The name's pronounced Te-le-path-ee apparently and I also hear that they've been working with David Sitek on some new material. That's bound to be interesting at least, most likely great.
Download: Telepathe – Sinister Militia
And as a bonus extra we also have Mirror Mirror, the project of Telepathe's Ryan Lucero, who have just released a 7 inch single on the increasingly reliable Half Machine Records. It's a less electronic affair, with some gorgeous vocals and harmonies, echoey effects and a slightly spooky feel. Quite lovely.
Download: Mirror Mirror – New Horizons
Download High Places' o3/07 - 09/07 from emusic. They have a new 7 inch out on Upset The Rhythm records - buy it direct from UTR. Download Telepathe stuff from emusic as well. Order the Mirror Mirror 7 inch from Half Machine records.

Each of the Gauchos' doubles teams remained undefeated. Junior Alex Konigsfeldt and Senior Josh Finkelstein began with a win against Hawaii's Dennis Lojola and Jeremy Tweedt, 8-3. UCSB's Evan Jurgensen and Scott Hohenstein overcame Andreas Weber and Phillip Eberhand 8-5. Freshmen Benjamin Recknagel and Lucas Sudow continued to win together, defeating Leo Rosenberg and Daniel Llarenas 8-4.
After sweeping the doubles matches, the Gauchos fell short in singles. Alex Konigsfeldt, Josh Finkelstein, Mathieu Forget, and Benjamin Recknagel were all defeated by their Hawaii opponents in two sets. Taylor Chavez Goggin put up a fight against Hawaii's Phillip Eberhard, winning the second set of their match to tie up the game. In the third set, however, Chavez Goggin was defeated with a final score of 10-8.
"We dominated in doubles," said UCSB head coach Marty Davis. "It really came down to the No. 3, 4, and 5 singles matches, which were all close. We had many chances to win those matches. It was a little disappointing."
Freshman Lucas Sudow was the only Gaucho to come away with a win in singles with his defeat of Dymitri Kovalyov, 6-2, 6-0.
The Gauchos will continue their season on January 23 as they play defending national champion, USC, in Los Angeles.

The Fly Away Zine Mobile is a free lending library, self-publishing skill-sharer, and mini reading room focused on zines ("zeens," meaning self-made, self-published, small circulation magazines) and other forms of DIY publishing. It's currently housed in a 1997 Chevy Astro van, and we're currently looking for something bigger that can be converted to run on waste veggie oil.
The zine mobile travels all over North America, organizing/supporting events around literacy and self-publishing and hosting open library/reading hours. We also visit people unable to leave where they are.
There are about 1,000 zines and a small collection of little musical instruments (ukulele, melodica, flute, tambourine, hand percussion) that may be borrowed (return arrangements made on a case-by-case basis)! There's also a free box!
The zine mobile is part of an emerging traveling caravan that seeks to support and create free skill-sharing and community-building, and is also a sister project to the Zine Apothecary, a garage-based zine library in Minneapolis; a significant part of the library's founding collection was donated by ZA!
Donations of zines and small instruments in good condition always appreciated. We're especially interested in zines that seek to share skills, information, and resources, and zines about healing and wellness.
* Please note that while the zine mobile/caravan project is a movement-driven, not-for-profit project, by design it is not a registered nonprofit. We gratefully accept donations, but donations are not tax-deductible.

What is solar radiation?
The sun is essential for life on earth. Many vital processes on the earth's surface, such as climate and life itself, are fuelled by radiation energy from the sun. About 99.98 per cent of the overall energy accountable for the global climate originate from the sun.
Electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun ranges from gamma radiation of less than 0.1 Nanometer (nm) wavelength to long radio waves. Its maximum lies at a wavelength of 500 nanometers, i.e. in the yellow-green range of visible light.
The sun is a natural source of optical radiation which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Optical radiation as part of solar radiation
Ultraviolet radiation (UV), visible light (VIS) and infrared radiation (IR) are part of solar radiation and are combined as "Optical Radiation", since it is deflected, scattered or reflected by optical systems such as lenses, mirrors or prisms.
The proportion of optical radiation from the sun reaching the ground varies largely. The intensity of the optical radiation primarily depends on
- the solar altitude (latitude, time of the day and season of the year),
- the total ozone content of the absorbing atmospheric layer, and
- the cloud cover.
Solar optical radiation - especially UV radiation, but also infrared radiation (heat radiation) - has positive and negative effects on humans and the environment. For this reason the solar UV radiation is permanently recorded and evaluated worldwide as an important environmental factor in addition to other meteorological parameters such as temperature and precipitation - not least due to the processes in the atmospheric ozone layer related to climate change.

8 Then King Solomon summoned into his presence at Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord's covenant from Zion, the City of David. 2 All the Israelites came together to King Solomon at the time of the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month.
3 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark, 4 and they brought up the ark of the Lord and the tent of meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The priests and Levites carried them up, 5 and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
6 The priests then brought the ark of the Lord's covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 7 The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its carrying poles. 8 These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. 11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
12 Then Solomon said, "The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 13 I have indeed built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever."
14 While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them. 15 Then he said:
"Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said, 16 'Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, but I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.'
17 "My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 18 But the Lord said to my father David, 'You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. 19 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.'
20 "The Lord has kept the promise he made: I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 I have provided a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt."
22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven 23 and said:
"Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. 24 You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.
25 "Now Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, 'You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me faithfully as you have done.' 26 And now, God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David my father come true.
27 "But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! 28 Yet give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day. 29 May your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which you said, 'My Name shall be there,' so that you will hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place. 30 Hear the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, your dwelling place, and when you hear, forgive.
31 "When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath and they come and swear the oath before your altar in this temple, 32 then hear from heaven and act. Judge between your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing down on their heads what they have done, and vindicating the innocent by treating them in accordance with their innocence.
33 "When your people Israel have been defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, and when they turn back to you and give praise to your name, praying and making supplication to you in this temple, 34 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and bring them back to the land you gave to their ancestors.
35 "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and give praise to your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them, 36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.
37 "When famine or plague comes to the land, or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers, or when an enemy besieges them in any of their cities, whatever disaster or disease may come, 38 and when a prayer or plea is made by anyone among your people Israel—being aware of the afflictions of their own hearts, and spreading out their hands toward this temple— 39 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart), 40 so that they will fear you all the time they live in the land you gave our ancestors.
41 "As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of your name— 42 for they will hear of your great name and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm—when they come and pray toward this temple, 43 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Do whatever the foreigner asks of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and may know that this house I have built bears your Name.
44 "When your people go to war against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name, 45 then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause.
46 "When they sin against you—for there is no one who does not sin—and you become angry with them and give them over to their enemies, who take them captive to their own lands, far away or near; 47 and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with you in the land of their captors and say, 'We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly'; 48 and if they turn back to you with all their heart and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray to you toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and the temple I have built for your Name; 49 then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause. 50 And forgive your people, who have sinned against you; forgive all the offenses they have committed against you, and cause their captors to show them mercy; 51 for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of Egypt, out of that iron-smelting furnace.
52 "May your eyes be open to your servant's plea and to the plea of your people Israel, and may you listen to them whenever they cry out to you. 53 For you singled them out from all the nations of the world to be your own inheritance, just as you declared through your servant Moses when you, Sovereign Lord, brought our ancestors out of Egypt."
54 When Solomon had finished all these prayers and supplications to the Lord, he rose from before the altar of the Lord, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven. 55 He stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
56 "Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 57 May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us. 58 May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in obedience to him and keep the commands, decrees and laws he gave our ancestors. 59 And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that he may uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel according to each day's need, 60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other. 61 And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time."
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the Lord. 63 Solomon offered a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to the Lord: twenty-two thousand cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the temple of the Lord.
64 On that same day the king consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that stood before the Lord was too small to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings.
65 So Solomon observed the festival at that time, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt. They celebrated it before the Lord our God for seven days and seven days more, fourteen days in all. 66 On the following day he sent the people away. They blessed the king and then went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things the Lord had done for his servant David and his people Israel.
9 When Solomon had finished building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do, 2 the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 The Lord said to him:
"I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
4 "As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws, 5 I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, 'You shall never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.'
6 "But if you[a] or your descendants turn away from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. 8 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled and will scoff and say, 'Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?' 9 People will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the Lord brought all this disaster on them.'"
10 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace— 11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted. 12 But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them. 13 "What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?" he asked. And he called them the Land of Kabul,[d] a name they have to this day. 14 Now Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents[e] of gold.
15 Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted to build the Lord's temple, his own palace, the terraces,[f] the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer. 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire. He killed its Canaanite inhabitants and then gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon's wife. 17 And Solomon rebuilt Gezer.) He built up Lower Beth Horon, 18 Baalath, and Tadmor[g] in the desert, within his land, 19 as well as all his store cities and the towns for his chariots and for his horses[h]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
20 There were still people left from the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these peoples were not Israelites). 21 Solomon conscripted the descendants of all these peoples remaining in the land—whom the Israelites could not exterminate[i]—to serve as slave labor, as it is to this day. 22 But Solomon did not make slaves of any of the Israelites; they were his fighting men, his government officials, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 23 They were also the chief officials in charge of Solomon's projects—550 officials supervising those who did the work.
24 After Pharaoh's daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace Solomon had built for her, he constructed the terraces.
25 Three times a year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord along with them, and so fulfilled the temple obligations.
26 King Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Elath in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.[j] 27 And Hiram sent his men—sailors who knew the sea—to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men. 28 They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents[k] of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 "As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down."
7 "Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"
8 He replied: "Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."
10 Then he said to them: "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 "But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me. 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 Stand firm, and you will win life.

The River, the Old Man, and the Vicious Dog
Funny Elderly Man
As I made my way down to the river, I saw several people out and about, going for walks and also enjoying the spring weather preview. I turned right on the road that paralleled the river, and saw an elderly couple up ahead. The man was hunched over and used a cane to help him walk. As I got closer, he lifted his cane and shook it at me.
"How about that crazy runner fellah' who runs barefoot through the snow?!", he yelled in a thick Maine accent. Good, I thought I had done something wrong. He was referring to this guy. I laughed and agreed that the guy was indeed crazy. The image of this friendly old man waving his cane at me kept me laughing for the next few miles.
The Bad Dog
I moseyed along and started getting a bit tired and hungry when I was a few miles from home, but received a big shot of adrenaline as a very large dog started charging at me. For a second, I didn't think much of it. Dogs bark at me all the time. But it became very clear this dog was different. It's teeth were bared, the hair on it's back was straight up, it's bark was sinister, and it was running full speed at me and not slowing down. Crap.
I stood my ground and raised my arms to make myself look bigger, yelling repeatedly "GET BACK!" in a loud, deep voice. This froze the dog about six feet from me, but the teeth were still bared and the dog was still barking ferociously and non-stop. It would try to inch closer, and I would raise my arms higher and yell louder to get it to back down momentarily, and then it'd try again. Where the f%$& was the owner?! I was hoping someone would come out of the house the dog ran from and call the dog off, but no car was in the driveway.
I quickly formulated a two-part plan: First, reach down and grab a handful of icy snow and squeeze it into a hard-packed ball. Second, begin circling the dog to get between it and it's house. I've heard this puts dogs on the defensive and they get stressed when you get between them and their property. Now was a good time to find out.
I reached down and grabbed some icy snow, and cocked my arm back. The dog then backed down and took off back towards the house. I didn't have to circle. Whew.
I ran the last few miles home on sheer adrenaline. As soon as I got home, I got in my car and drove back to the dog's house, got the address, and reported the incident to the Sheriff's office. I must say they were great and they took my report seriously, even though I wasn't attacked physically. They promised to come out that day and talk to the owner. I think I'll run with my pepper spray for a little while for added piece of mind.
That aside, a great run. Finished the week with 49.5 miles.
Ran 15.3 miles @ 8:56/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Very hilly.
Lower 40s to lower 50s, partly cloudy.
Shorts, short sleeved shirt, Moeben sleeves.

You did the exact right thing, including calling the sheriff on the dog's owner. Glad that you are all right and that you didn't have to hurt the dog.
When I was in college, there was a guy about half a mile from my apartment whose dog would run at us, and I kicked it after it bit me once. The guy threatened to call the police on me, but I told him to go right ahead and ran back and called them for him.
He kept his dog under control when we ran by over the next few months, but then I took off for 6 months and while I was gone the dog had to be put down because it attacked a kid on a bicycle.
That is completely and utterly the owners fault; the dog was only doing what dogs do.
- Jamie said...
Blaine, I agree. I don't blame the dog, just the owner. At least there is now a record of the dog being aggressive, and the owners have a chance to rectify the situation and nobody got hurt.
- UltraFlash said...
Yeah, but I find when you call the cops on someone that just gets them that more angry at you. The dog has it out on you now. He will have the last bite. Change your route forevermore. Weenies.
- Jamie said...
Let'em get mad. Dog is on record with the cops... And if nothing else, I have plenty of deer slugs left for the 12-gauge. Kidding, kidding... :-)

I have had the worse luck in the world with dogs while running. Maybe it's because I tend to freeze when they come running at me, I'll have to try not to do that. I was running in the same area later in the day, glad you got to the dog first.
- Thomas said...
I usually find that shouting "NO" very loudly puts off the vast majority of dogs.
It helps to have a police force that takes these matters seriously. The police here didn't even intervene when I got actually bitten by a dog a couple of years ago!

Great post about the old man and the dog. I had the same thing happen to me once while I was running. A big dog charged across the yard and I turned directly to it, raised my body to make it as big as could be, and bellowed, "NO!" in a deep voice. Then I stood there trying to decide what to do.
When I finally and slowly turned to keep running, the dog began to lunge and then started to cry in pain, biting at his hind end and running towards the house. He'd stepped in a bee's nest! Just then the owner appeared in the doorway and I'm sure she wondered what I'd done to her dog. On the return by the house I carried a big stick and am still nervous going by to this day.

Good thing you weren't wearing your Milkbone underwear.
- middle.professor said...
Running in Falmouth is such a stereotype - all the dogs follow you from one corner of the yard to the other, but never, ever cross that invisible fence. So don your milkbone underwear and come run this way!
In extreme SW virginia, in the heart of appalachia, there are no invisible, or visible, fences. The dogs are all pretty nice though. They follow you for a while, get bored, then go do something else. Maybe they like the short shorts.

He is a nice fit for there system, what they need to do is get back a healthy KG. Don't see any rookie point guard coming in and doing what Rondo has done for the Celtics.
Boozer ended the year bad due to the injury, plus with Arenas and Brand being the big signings of bad injuries, then missing most of the year, Pistons would be smart to stay away from Boozer.
Not saying that Rondo is a cancer or anything, but if your PG does not want to be a part of your team, no matter how good he is, the situation is not going to work out. Maybe Rondo has gotten a swolled head after his early success and now he doesnt feel the need to play 4th fiddle for the Celts.
This to me seems the only reason that the C's would even consider trading him. He does fit perfectly for them. He plays D, is a great distributor and mixes it up on both sides of the floor.
Ohh man this is a tough one for the Celtics then, plus am sure there standing with Rondo doesn't help much knowing he is in trade talks.
I suggest Doc Rivers takes a trip to Rondo's crib try and get on the same page.

Revenue shortfalls continue; companies seeking to raise dividends, increase buybacks.
3M continued the trend of large multinational companies coming in light on revenues ($7.63 billion vs. $7.80 billion expected). Sales were up two percent, but once again Europe is the problem: Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region was down 0.8 percent, U.S. up 2.3 percent. Its 2013 guidance was reduced.
There is the big story for earnings this year: Anemic top-line growth, which is getting worse. Only 39 percent of companies reporting so far are beating revenue expectations, way below the historic average of 61 percent.


text: holy shit. I've been sleeping on this, Castle... You have some really nice work on your Bandcamp. I think I was in a hurry when I last visited and didn't let it sit in the background long enough. This evening i listened to Droneworlds, Hortus Conclusus and Chamber Music and I was really impressed with your narratives and emotional dynamics. Each record had a unique feel and you do a great job of balancing the listen with different vibes and timbers. I also really appreciate the organic feel your music has, which I sometimes struggle to find in my own.Would you like to collaborate on a project? It was really fun to do so with Theta and I still enjoy listening to the result. Let's do this. I'm happy to mix/master as well.

Record Loss
One record source that would be helpful, but was destroyed, is the 1890 census. There was a fire in Washington, D. C. in 1921 which badly damaged the records. None of the New Hampshire population records remain. The 1890 census veterans' lists were kept in a different building and were saved. They are available on microfilms and at www.ancestry.com. You can search for veterans' or widows' names.

Or, if you know the town of residence and the ancestor's denomination, go to the New Hampshire wiki article and see the Church Records section in the general information for New Hampshire. That section lists archives and other record keepers for the various religious denominations.
If you do not know the denomination, search for a marriage record. This may give the name of the minister. Then you can contact a historical society and learn at which church he was the minister. Also search for an obituary, which may mention the church the person attended. The death certificate may list the name of the cemetery. You can then write to the cemetery and ask if it is affiliated with a local church. The death certificate may mention the funeral home. Their file may have the name of the church, cemetery, or a copy of the obituary. Also, relatives might know the denomination.
Different churches contain a variety of types of records. Many churches keep baptism, marriage, and burial records. Sometimes birth and death information is included. The church records of brothers and sisters, etc. may give clues.

"...one builds science with facts, as (one builds) a house with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house."
-Jules Henri Poiuncare (Science and Hypothesis, 1908)
Science is an endeavor, an endeavor driven by unanswered questions. Research is what we do to find answers to those questions. Thus research is the basis of science. However, the science classroom provides little opportunity to actually do science, to address those questions that are currently unanswered.
Because of this, we encourage undergraduate and graduate students who are serious about science to be active participants in our research program. Whether your interests are in biotechnology, evolutionary genetics, ecology, behavioral ecology, wildlife biology, conservation biology, aquatic or marine biology, field botany, or plant biology we can provide you with an opportunity to participate in the process of scientific discovery.
The following faculty have active research programs involving students. You can visit their webpages to learn more about their specific research interests. If you're interested in research, contact a faculty member whose interests most closely match your own.
- Dr. Kristin Herrmann - Invertebrate Ecology, Parasitology
- Dr. Christopher Higgins - Ecology, Ichthyology

About Me
I graduated from MIT in 2009 with a B.S. in Course 6 (EECS) and a B.S. in Course 7 (Biology). I also served as Editor in Chief of the student newspaper The Tech, and now I'm frequently on PBS's Stay Tuned as a science & health contributor.
I'm currently pursuing an M.D./Ph.D. in the Gordon Lab at Washington University School of Medicine as part of the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program.
When I'm not in lab, I'm either studying web app security (I've been recognized by Google, among others), or contributing to open-source projects such as the EFF's plugin HTTPS Everywhere.
In the medical realm, I sometimes hack on advancing open educational resources (which lag far behind even MIT's OpenCourseWare project). I'm also hoping to ensure doctors & nurses get flu vaccines, which (strangely) aren't required for health care workers — even though many other vaccines are (my Missouri representative recently introduced a bill).
If you're incredibly bored, you can follow my main-belt asteroid, which looks like it's having a great time just a bit past Mars.

A few weeks ago, whilst in my local butcher, I found these lovely spiced lamb sausages. I decided to buy some and pop them in my freezer for a rainy day. This tuesday, on an extremely rainy day, there was no way I was going to venture to the market on my weekly jaunt so examined the depths of my freezer and came across these spicy beauties :0)......just what the doctor ordered on this horrendous day.
On opening my fridge to decide what to do with them I was dismayed to find two onions and half a wrinkled red pepper........ Unperturbed by the lack of inspiration (and duly egged on by a quick ponder whether I should grab my umbrella and brave the weather, then subsequently deciding wild horses were not going to drag me!!!) I checked my larder and found a nice selection of beans. With this I convinced myself I could create some Moroccan spiced cassoulet thingy. Those many hours clocked up watching Ready Steady Cook were not wasted after all!!! :0)
Feel free to adapt it how you like, maybe less spicy for the kids. You could also have some flat bread, pitta bread or cous cous on the side if you need a bit of a carb hit. It would be nice with pork sausages & Mediterranean flavours or a curry paste for an indian twist.......Fill your boots!!!
Here's the recipe and I hope you enjoy.
2 tbsp Olive Oil
8 Spiced Lamb Sausages (Mine were a butchers take on Merguez or similar like these would work)
1 Large Onion, sliced
1 Red Pepper sliced
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
1 tsp Baharat Spice Blend (or similar Moroccan spice blend eg Ras El Hanout)
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Sliced Fresh Red Chilli or Chilli Powder, to taste (Optional, I like it spicy though)
3 x 400g Drained Tins Beans or Chick Peas (I used Butter Beans & Cannellini)
400g Passatta or chopped tinned tomatoes
1 tsp Sugar (or to taste)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Water or vegetable stock (I needed about 1/2 a tomato tins worth)
Fresh Coriander
1. Heat oil in large deepish lidded frying pan and brown sausages, no need to cook through as they will finish later. When nicely browned remove and set aside.
2. Fry onions over medium heat for 5 mins or till golden and soft then add Red Pepper & fry for further 2 mins. Next sprinkle in Garlic, Spices and fry gently for approx 1 minute, you will know when they are ready as you will start to smell the fragrant spices.
3. Throw in Beans, tomatoes, sugar, salt & pepper and enough water or stock to give you the required consistency, then bring to a gentle simmer. Nestle the sausages on top and pop on the lid.
4. Let it simmer for approx 20 - 30 minutes or until sausages cooked through. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn and if it seems a little runny just take off the lid to let the sauce reduce a little.
5. Serve sprinkled with coriander and some Sumac (I already had in my cupboard but no need to go out and buy it specially).
The only thing left to do is wash up one frying pan so everyone's a winner ;0)..........I'd love to know if anyone tries it so be sure to let me know how you get on!!! :0) x

Earth : South America : Peru : Northern Coast (Peru) : Máncora
Máncora is a small beachtown smacked on the PanAmericana at the Peruvian Northern coast.
During holidays, peruvians come all the way from Lima to spend their holidays at the beach. It turns into a real partytown with an overcrowded beach and bars competing for the loudest music day and night.
Get in
Due to its location on the Pan Americana it's easy to catch a bus south as far as Lima and north to Tumbes or even to Guayaquil in Ecuador.
Most buses stop a couple of blocks north of the main tourist area. You can walk or take a mototaxi for S/.1.
Ormeño [8] are the most frequent long distance buses to destinations south of Mancora. There are frequent kombis to Piura & Tumbes.
Cruz Del Sur [9] has daily connections to Lima (18 hours)
For surfers, Transportes Linea [10] have frequent buses from Piura & Chiclayo through Pacasmayo to Trujillo. Buses leave Trujillo for Huanchaco frequently, & Trujillo's Santa Cruz terminal for Puerto Malabrigo (aka Puerto Chicama) every 2 hours.
Star Peru have regular flights from Lima to Talara, Tumbes & Piura.
Get around
Most of the bars, restaurants and hotels are clustered on two blocks along the PanAmericana. Mototaxis are everywhere but the town is small enough for walking.
The beach. In addition to tanned bodies, you might spot some pelicans and crabs there. At certain times of the year Humpback Whales & Dolphins can be seen from the shore.
There are many stalls set up near the main road, touristy items can be obtained here.
There are a lot of restaurants, most of them serving fresh seafood. Service is generally very slow but the seafood is fresh, cheap, and delicious.
On the beach, restaurants will bring a mini-tent, table, chairs, menus, and food to the sand for you. The main road is lined with restaurants but for the cheapest meals (5 sol), go to the road leading to the beach.
If you don't mind loud music there should be enough bars to still your thirst.
During holidays it can be hard if not impossible to find accommodations. Most of the accommodations are located next the bars, making them very noisy.
There are several hotels along the beach where to stay. Some are very basic while others offer more comfort. The nicest hotel in Mancora was used by world famous writer Mario Vargas Llosa's daughter - Morgana - for her wedding.
Stay safe
The usual recommendations :
Always respect the ocean, observe and learn about the local characteristics of the sea before jumping in. Have extra care, especially under the influence of drugs, alcohol and, or fatigue and lack of sleep. Calm seas can hide strong currents, or seasonably develop dangerous tides and currents.
Stay within busy areas of the beach and town, preferably in good company, observing drug and alcohol intake especially when partying... Don't become an easy prey to predators of any kind. Don't flash any valuable stuff when taking a moto-taxi as long as some of the riders might be thieves. Be aware specially if you're carrying a bag with you.
Use skin protectors, sun glasses and hats. Mancora is near the Ecuator border.
Get out

When Boys Town founder Father Flanagan witnessed several older boys helping to carry Howard Loomis, a boy with Polio, up and down the stairs, he asked one, Reuben Granger, if he found it difficult. The boy's response was, "He ain't heavy, Father… he's m' brother."
This now iconic saying — and the statue of two boys associated with it — is what came to mind when I read about brothers Hunter and Braden Gandee.
This past Saturday and Sunday, 14-year-old Hunter, along with his family and many friends, walked 40 miles from his middle school in Temperance, Michigan, to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The whole way, Hunter carried his 7-year-old brother Braden — who was born with cerebral palsy — on his back.
The walk was developed as a way to raise awareness of cerebral palsy, and to encourage people to continue developing new resources — including medical procedures and mobility aids — for those who have the disorder. But I think it did much more than that.
It showed what true brotherly love is all about.
"He always looks out for me. It means so much to have a brother like this," Braden said in an interview with Ann Arbor News.
The Gandee family chose the University of Michigan as the walk's destination because the brothers are both big fans of the wrestling team. Hunter himself is a wrestler at his middle school, an activity Braden joins in on and hopes to take part in himself one day.
"Braden sits mat-side at Hunter's matches, and he keeps stats. He knows the tournament brackets when Hunter is in there," said the boys' father, Sam Gandee. "Hunter wanted to tie this (walk) in with Braden's love of wrestling and do something hard."
Hunter admitted that the long walk was not easy.
"There was a point where the chafing on Braden's legs did get too bad, but we switched some things around and tried out a sling in a different way," he said.
It was a phone call from a friend who prayed with the brothers that helped them to push through and finish the trek.
"I can't even describe to you how special (Braden) is to me," Hunter told Fox News. "I can't put it into words."
Although he was the one to carry Braden, not the other way around, Hunter showed how the brothers' relationship exemplifies an important aspect of love — self-sacrifice.
Speaking about Braden, Hunter said, "He's awesome. He's always there for me."
He's m' brother.
