Q&A: Charles Barkley Talks Up A Storm, Kicks Up NCAA Tournament Dirt
Fans who watch the NBA on TV on a regular basis — and in particular on TNT — are accustomed to hearing Charles Barkley speak his mind about players, politics, civil rights and the NBA. This month, Barkley will get a new forum as part of the Turner Broadcast team assigned to cover the NCAA Men's Division I basketball tournament. And as he offers in this Q&A, there will be — big surprise! — no holds barred.
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
(Posted March 9, 2011)
In 2011, the first year of a 14-year, $10.8 billion agreement among CBS, Time Warner division Turner Broadcasting and the NCAA will enable fans to watch every game during the Men's Division I basketball tournament, aka March Madness on four networks: CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV. That also means the usual cast of broadcasters and analysts from CBS — including Clark Kellogg, Jim Nantz and Bryant Gumbel — will be joined by the crew that has become synonymous with Turner's NBA coverage: Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Marv Albert, Reggie Miller and Charles Barkley.
Barkley's basketball credentials include three years at the University of Auburn, where he later was named the SEC's 1980's Player of the Decade; 16 years in the NBA, where he was MVP in 1992-93, an 11-time all-star and later named to the 50th anniversary team; and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, including the 1992 Dream Team that won in Barcelona and the 1996 squad that won in Atlanta. For his efforts, Barkley was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a player in 2006, as a member of the Dream Team in 2010 and into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2009 also as a member of the Dream Team.
Equally impressive has been his post-NBA career, where he has used his public platform to speak out on such issues as race, politics and the NCAA, especially with regard to the way athletes are treated. He also has had to face in public personal issues — including pleading guilty to DUI relating to an incident on New Year's Eve 2008 and an on-going gambling problem.
Barkley, who has authored several best-selling books, recently launched his own Web site, CharlesBarlkey.com, where he pontificates on subjects ranging from civil rights and basketball to reviewing movies of past and present. ("Turrible" films include Salt, The American and Black Snake Moan; 'Not Turrible' films include The Wizard of Oz, The King's Speech and The Fighter.)
It was those issues — as well as Cam Newton. March Madness and NBA basketball — that Barkley addressed during a CBS-Turner-NCAA media session at Le Parker Meridien Hotel in New York. The event served as a jumping off point for the expanded 68-team NCAA tournament, which will begin with the First Four on March 15 and run through the Final Four, April 2-4 in Houston.
• What's your overview of the alliance between CBS and Turner and, personally, about being an analyst during March Madness?
Charles Barkley: I'm excited about the partnership because everybody watches March Madness. For $11 billion it should be a good partnership. This will be my first time [as a college analyst]. I'm looking forward to it. Turner has been great to me. I love my job. When we talked about doing the NCAA tournament, I said I would do whatever you want me to do. [But] one of the reasons I took this job was there are some things I want to say. This can't be a cash grab for everybody. At some point, we're going to have to talk about graduating these kids. We can't go three weeks and everyone gets paid and we got a bunch of dummies running around out there. That is my concern. I told them I'm not going to just jump on the bandwagon and let you all make all this money on these kids and not say anything.
• What is it that you will be looking to say?
CB: I'm not getting into a pissing contest about where the $11 billion [$10.8 billion] is going. That is a lot of money, and we have no idea where it's going. I'm not opposed to people making money. But we do have an obligation. We know it's not going to the kids. I'm not going to go on a rant about where the money goes, but they have an obligation to graduate these players. It has to be about education. When I gave $1 million each [in endowments] to my high school [Leeds, Alabama], to Auburn [where he played for three years] . . . it was about the kids. This has a real affect on the Black community. These kids can't all make it to the NBA. They all think about sports, not about being doctors, lawyers, firefighters, policemen. At the end of the year only about 50 of those kids will make it to the NBA, and that's being generous. The rest of them, they get put in the real world and we expect them to be fathers and members of the community without an education. And I'm on the NBA's [back], too. We need to keep these kids in school longer. I want two years.
• Is that the fault of coaches, the NCAA, the NBA?
CB: The system is what it is. I know great coaches with great graduation rates, and they're looking for jobs. It is having a negative affect on the Black community. I don't want to make it a racial thing but it is a fact. When I met with the NCAA, when I sat down with Turner to talk about my role during the NCAA tournament, I said we can't just talk about basketball. At some point we have to talk about graduation rates. We can't expect these kids to go out and be good fathers and take care of their families if they're uneducated. There is personal responsibility. But you've got to help these kids because, first of all, these kids think they're going to play on the next level. They're not getting educated. Then we expect them to raise their families uneducated.
"I'm not opposed to people making money, but we do have an obligation. We know it's not going to the kids."
• Is there a way to resolve the financial issues?
CB: It can't just be a cash grab. Colleges have to be there to educate people. My bosses are in it to make money. But I'm not in it just for the money. I said to them, 'I have to talk about education. About the affect on the Black community.' The system has to help. Kids can't just take BS classes to remain eligible. The problem with paying the kids is who do you pay? Do you pay the football team? The men's basketball team but not the women's team? Do you pay the lacrosse team? Players should be able to borrow money from agents. There's no competitive advantage from agents paying players. I'm not talking about players borrowing a million or even $100,000. [And] instead of leaving early, they might stay.
• What about the financial controversies surrounding fellow Auburn athlete Cam Newton?
CB: I got the chance to meet him at the NBA All-Star Game. I hope he gets the opportunity to play [in the NFL]. [At Auburn games] I saw 23.000 Cam Newton jerseys. [There was a controversy because stories said his father asked for $200,000 for him to attend the university.] If he got $200,000, he was grossly underpaid. I'm not worried about Cam Newton. I'm worried about the other kids. We're all making a lot of money. But what we are doing is a disservice to these kids.
• What are your views regarding kids who leave college after their freshman year to try to join the NBA?
CB: One-and-done has hurt the NBA. These kids who leave after one year aren't ready for the NBA. The last few NBA drafts are the worst I've ever seen. John Wall [is having] a decent year [with the Washington Wizards, who selected him as the overall No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft] but it wouldn't have killed him to stay in college another year [instead of leaving Kentucky after his freshman season]. These kids' bodies aren't ready for the NBA.
• Speaking of Wall, what do you think about this season's NBA rookie class?
CB: I don't count Blake Griffin, but he'll probably win the Rookie of the Year, honor. [I see him as] a red shirt rookie [because he missed season of what would have been his true rookie year in 2009-10 with a broken left kneecap]. That kid on the New York Knicks, Landry Fields [a second-round pick in 2010 out of Stanford] is the best rookie. But he won't win.
• What about the draft class of 2011?
CB: There's not one [college] player I've seen this year who if he goes to the NBA would make his team a lot better. The system was supposed to be that [teams at the bottom] got the top draft pick and that would help them. But it's not working that way.
• Do you plan to criticize players during the NCAA tournament like you do to players when you analyze the NBA?
CB: We who quote-unquote 'have the power' have to speak up on the issues. [But] I'm not going to criticize these kids like I do NBA players. That wouldn't be fair. If you're making $10 million and you suck, I'll say that. But these kids work their asses off, they're not getting paid $10 million a year. I'm not going to criticize college kids and treat them like they are NBA players. That's not fair.
• Do you see a lot of NBA games in person?
CB: Unless I'm there for Turner, I don't go to NBA games. It's not my time. I don't want to take any [of the spotlight] away from the players. It's for the players. When TNT covered the NBA All-Star Game, I stayed away from events. It was not my time. It was for the players in the All-Star Game.
"If you're making $10 million and you suck, I'll say that. But these kids work their asses off, they're not getting paid $10 million a year. I'm not going to criticize them."
• Other analysts working the NCAA tournament said they plan to watch every team, even if once, to get a better idea of how they might play. How do you plan to prepare?
CB: I watch a lot of college basketball [during the season] because, unfortunately, a lot of these kids come to the NBA after one year. That's not a lot of time. So you have to watch college basketball. Most NBA players watch college basketball because there's very few [NBA games] on cable when you're on the road. [But] I'm not going to watch 100 college games [to prepare for the tournament] I'll watch 20, 30 teams. I'll get the rest from friends, coaches, analysts who cover college games [full time]. You can't watch a team one time and then say you know them. I'm not going to know everything about all these teams. That's unrealistic. But the [guys on CBS], they cover these teams all year. They have a lot more knowledge [about the college teams] than I do. So I'll talk to [CBS analysts] Dan Bonner, Clark Kellogg, Greg Anthony. They are going to be beneficial to me. I'm going to use them."
• What will you be looking for?
CB: I know the game of basketball. That's what I bring to the table. There are three things I will look for: Style — are they a team that relies on fast-breaks or walking the ball up the court? Stats — do they have a good defense, do they get a lot of rebounds? Turnovers — are they a team that doesn't turn the ball over.
• Which team wins it all this year?
CB: I don't think anybody knows that. But I like Kansas to win the whole thing. Ohio State, Pittsburgh, they have terrific teams. Duke is solid. Texas is solid. It's a crap shoot this year [to predict the Final Four]. I don't think anybody will get it right.
• What is your opinion of the NBA in 2011?
CB: I'm very disappointed with the NBA right now. Very disappointed. They are doing a disservice to the game and the fans. With all of these guys who make millions of dollars, we should have [many more] good teams. Maybe there are six good teams in the West, four in the East. When you look at the NBA right now it's not a very good product.

The Leah Stupniker Collection is focused around one of the Price Library of Judaica's scarce holdings: a small booklet entitled Kometz 'Alim (a handful of leaves). This remarkable booklet first came to the library's attention thanks to a query from a Mr. Stephen Isard in Philadelphia. Stephen had borrowed the booklet through the inter-library loan system and wanted to know if he could photocopy it as its contents comprised in part a childhood journal written by his aunt, Leah Stupniker. Unfortunately, the family's own copy was missing.
The Price Library copy of this booklet (1 of just 3 copies in the U.S.) is a preservation photocopy; the original having deteriorated beyond repair. Fortunately, a copy held in the Klau Library in the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati is an original and, thanks to the generosity and foresight of its librarian, Laurel Wolfson, a collaborative partnership was established to digitize their copy of the booklet at the University of Florida. The original can now be consulted on the internet through both the Klau Library and the UFDC websites.
Kometz 'Alim tells the tragic story of Leah's last years as a child living happily in Palestine, and her reluctant emigration to America where she died on Ellis Island from tuberculosis at the age of 14. Thanks to Stephen and Robert Isard (the sons of Leah's twin sister Sonia), and George Gould (the son of Leah's older sister Alia), we are able to supplement Leah's booklet with family photographs and postcards to fill in more of the background detail. A tentative translation of the booklet has also been added to this new digital collection.
The booklet, Kometz 'Alim (whether read in the original Hebrew or in translation), not only provides a moving story, it also uncovers the engaging thoughts and writings of an extremely talented young girl with a mind far beyond her years.
Historians of the Zionist movement in Palestine, particularly the way in which Zionist principles and ideas manifested themselves in the early school system will find material of use here. The linguistic and historical elements of Kometz 'Alim highlight the ways in which the Hebrew language was taught in pre-1948 Israel and show how that language was absorbed by the first waves of immigrant children in the early 20th century.
The Leah Stupniker Collection is a tribute to the immigrant experience. The materials presented here offer a glimpse into the trials of immigrant life in general and the ways migration affected children in particular. Leah's story symbolizes the many long, arduous, and emotional journeys taken by thousands of Jewish immigrants as they crossed oceans to find a more secure life, and it serves as a stark reminder that there were many who did not make it.
Thank you to our kind donors: Stephen Isard, Robert Isard, George Gould, and Professor Emeritus Frank Norman.

Tips•Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray before heating the grill to prevent food from sticking and to help with cleanup.
•Keep the heat as even as possible. For more even cooking throughout the grilling time, place thicker foods on the center and smaller pieces on the edges of the grill rack.
•Turn foods with grilling tongs rather than piercing them with a fork to help retain the natural juices in the food and not dry out.
•Let meats rest 5 to 10 minutes after removing them from the grill and before serving to allow the juices to return to the surface for moister and juicier meat.
•Sprinkle dried herbs over the coals just before grilling to add a subtle aroma and flavor to your food.
•Leave 3/4 to 1 inch of space between pieces of food so they will cook more evenly.
•Boost flavor by basting with sauces. Oil, vinegar and citrus-based sauces can be brushed on throughout the grilling time. When you're using sugar-based sauces, such as barbecue sauce or honey, brush the sauce on during only the last 15 to 20 minutes to avoid burning.
Whether you cook with gas, electric or charcoal, the secret to cooking is in the heat.
•Charcoal grills, Coals are ready to use when they are about 75 percent ash gray. Standard charcoal briquettes will be ready in 20 to 25 minutes and ready-to-light briquettes in 15 minutes.
•To determine the temperature of the coals, place your hand, palm side down, near but not touching the grill rack. If you can keep your hand there for 2 seconds, the temperature is high; 3 seconds is medium-high; 4 seconds is medium; 5 seconds is low.
The Direct (& Indirect) Route
•Direct-heat grilling is when food is cooked on the grill directly over the heat source. Hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, fish, pork chops and vegetables are cooked with this method.
•Indirect-heat grilling is when food is cooked away from the heat source. This is preferred for larger, longer-cooking foods such as whole chickens, whole turkeys and roasts.
•Trim visible fat from meats to avoid flare-ups.
•Always marinate foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
•Always serve grilled meat on a clean plate. Never serve cooked meat from the same unwashed plate you used to carry raw meat to the grill.
•If you want to reuse a marinade (that has had raw meat in it) as a sauce, heat the marinade to boiling, then boil 1 minute before serving.
•Perishable food should be eaten within 2 hours; 1 hour if the temperature is 90ºF or above.
Cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy harmful bacteria.
Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached a safe internal temperature.
Whole poultry should reach 180°F; breasts, 170°F.
Hamburgers made of ground beef should reach 160°F
Ground poultry, 165°F.
Beef, veal, and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to at least 145°F.
All cuts of pork should reach 160°F.
Never partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Harmful bacteria will grow between the time you start and finish cooking, even if you refrigerate the food in between.
If precooking food partially in the microwave, oven, or stove, make sure the food goes immediately on the preheated grill to complete cooking.
Never partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Harmful bacteria will grow between the time you start and finish cooking, even if you refrigerate the food in between.
If precooking food partially in the microwave, oven, or stove, make sure the food goes immediately on the preheated grill to complete cooking.
Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in shallow containers.
When reheating fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165°F or until steaming hot.
Discard any food left out more than two hours (one hour if temperatures are above 90°F).
••Charcoal grilling times will be faster on hot, calm days and slower on chilly, windy ones. Grilling in cold weather requires more charcoal, a longer time to heat the coals and longer grilling times.
•Gas grilling will need slightly longer heating times as well as a higher heat setting to speed the cooking if the weather is cool or windy.

Jersey's Own Crystal Jenkins
"I believe brainpower is a very important part of being a model, if not the most important part,� Crystal notes.
[Our Model Of The Day]
Where She's From: Crystal Jenkins was born and raised in Jersey City, NJ and now lives in Mount Pocono, PA. "The Most important thing I learned growing up was to be the best person I can be as an individual; positive energy will also give you positive results," she tells The Black Star News.
Crystal attended Henry Snyder High School in Jersey City, where she also ran track. "I also dreamed of becoming a model," she says. "I launched my modeling career three years after my son was born. I have been modeling only for a few months; most photographers think I have been modeling for years, because of the energy and talent I bring to the table. I love every second of it."
Where She's At: "I am still I the Building process and want to get out there and move fast," she adds, with confidence. "I see myself moving towards glamour modeling, and print and commercial work."
Crystal is 5"3; she is beautiful and is proud of her wonderful physique, which, with her excellent shoots has started opening doors for her in the industry.
"I do killer poses and facial expression, so when people look at me they don't consider my height a challenge," she says. "They will see me as an individual with talent."
"I believe brainpower is a very important part of being a model, if not the most important part," Crystal notes. "Brainpower enables you to take control of your career as a model. There are many people and agencies that will attempt to cheat models out of their money."
So how does Crystal get ready to step out? "Banana Republic—love the colors and the clothes fit; Abercrombie & Fitch because the clothing run small for my waist. Aldo shoes are very comfy and I love to shop at Calvin Klein. I use Jergens lotion and bath and body works for a more scented smell. I use only Lancôme make-up and facial cleaners which is expensive but worth the money. I wear Ralph Lauren Perfume it's the best smell and Code by Versace."
Crystal's Words Of Wisdom: "If you have a dream and a goal, keep trying to achieve it-never allow anyone to tell you, you can't. Your dreams and goals are what you will be in the future."
Crystal's Secrets Of Success: "Always have a goal and never forget that goal."
Three Black Leaders That Most Inspire Crystal: "Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X."
The First Things Crystal Would Do As President: "Increase the minimum wage and abolish taxes."
Crystal's Favorite Cars: "Bentley, Audi and BMW."
Crystal's Five Favorite Entertainers: "Madonna, Sparkle, Whitney Houston."
Crystal's Five Favorite Websites: "OneModelPlace, ModelMayhem, Myspace, Blackmodelplanet, and Rapindustry.com."

Home » Raw Techniques » Dehydrating » Using Dehydrators
Owning a dehydrator will help equip your kitchen with the right tools. It will literally open up a whole new word of raw culinary preparation and in preserving foods with the most nutrients left in tact.
Hi Amie! I got my dehydrator finally :-) it traveled oceans of time to get to me heehee . Thanks you ( and Bob ) so much ! So far i have made : yoghurt leathers, apple leather, dried fruits ( mangoes, chico, pineapple, lanka ) all turned out fairly good. Im working on Dragon fruit next. I did dried veggies ( im gonna need advice on this though ) next- like tomorrow im drying some mint and oregano- should i dry them at separate times? I hope its not a bother, i may be pestering quite often :-)
LOVE your new site!
Miri!!! so wonderful to hear from you!
Goodness, that took forever for that dehydrator to get to you but regardless, I am glad you got it and are using it. :) Ask all the questions that you can fire at me. If I don't know the answer, I will help you find it.
It sounds like you have been busy already dehydrating all sorts of goodies. How exciting. To answer your question about dehydrating the mint and oregano at the same time or not….you can do them at the same time. Do on separate trays though. It shouldn't be a problem at all. They won't take very long either. The only time I really throw a word of caution out is dehydrating a sweet item and a savory item at the same time. It is possible for the strong pungent aromas of the savory foods to infuse into the sweet foods. Does that make sense? In the end, it might be ok but not a risk I want to take. So what I am saying is that I don't recommend dehydrating garlic cloves on one sheet and pineapple on the other. :) Let me know how things turn out for you! amie sue
Hi Amie Sue!
Thanks for the herb advice- i did a couple, oregano, mint, tarragon in separate trays and they dried up nicely, stored them in jars :-)
My apple leather didnt come out quite well, i pureed fresh apples and mixed in some raw honey , spread them out then baked for around 12 hours it didnt come together? Too much honey? So i scaped it and made it into candy instead . How to make leathers?
Thanks! Im trying out your peanut butter cookie recipe next :-)
Good evening Miri,
I am so glad to hear that your herbs turned out. :) Though I am sorry to hear about your fruit leather. Can you explain a bit more to me as to what you did and how it turned out? I have one recipe posted for banana crepes / leathers. Under recipes click on breads / wraps. I just made some apple wraps but I haven't published it because I need to take a picture. I will do that tomorrow! But give me some more details so I can help trouble shoot this.
I hope you love the peanut butter cookie as much as I do! YUM!!!
Hi Amie-Sue,
I made some of your honey oat bread and stored the bread pieces in an airtight container. But now 5 days later the container is getting "foggy," would that mean that the bread is not dry enough. Should I move it into the fridge. I am very new to the raw diet, so thank you very much for all your recepis.
Hello Irina,
Shelf life and storage: My personal recommendation would be to store this bread in an air-tight container, in the fridge, for 3-5 days. The more moisture that is left in your bread, the shorter the shelf life. Therefore, shelf life will vary with your drying technique. Whenever I make this bread, it never lasts very long enough to spoil. Keep in mind, the whole purpose of eating a raw diet is to eat foods at their peek of freshness, so don't expect this bread to have a long expiration date.
Irina, I don't know how much moisture was left in your bread after you dehydrated it, nor do I know if it has spoiled at this time. If it were me, I would open the bag and take a good whiff. Does it smell bad? Yeasty (even though it doesn't have yeast in it… looking to see if there is a sour smell to it). Do you see signs of mold? Taste it? Does it taste sour? If yes to any of these questions, throw it away. You are going to have to be the judge of it. I am sorry that I don't have a better answer. Have a great day, amie sue
Thanks for you reply. It tastes, smells and looks just fine. I will keep in mind your recommendations though. Thanks.
Last week I decided to start doing the raw food diet. It seems like a lot of work but I know it is better for my health. I am lost with all the reading but I am going to start with the soups first and work my way through. I am a great cook and I figure in a year I will be blowing though all this. Do you have any advice you can give me on being a beginner??? I am so lost and can you tell me the easiest way to start and some of the dishes I should start off with. I am so happy I found your sight and the food dishes on here is wonderful . HELP!!! Thank you
Hi Sandra.
Eating more raw foods is not complicated or a lot of work. It's just learning a new method of food prep. And like you said, with a little time and experience under your belt, you will sail through it just fine. To start off with.. I recommend adding fresh/raw foods slowly, giving your body time to adjust. As you add in more fresh foods, use it as an opportunity to crowd out the "not-so-desired" foods that are heavily processed and filled with chemicals. I have written several posts that you might find helpful. I will list them below. If you have further questions please ask. Have a great weekend, amie sue
Most importantly….breath and enjoy the process. Don't face it as a "diet"… it is a life time commitment, a journey. Don't feel pressured to eat how others eat… learn to listen to your body along the way. Find the balance that is optimal for YOU! I can't stress that enough. The passion is infectious to follow a particular way of eating… let that passion focus inwardly and watch how your body responds to foods. amie sue
Hi Amie. I am new raw baking. I don't have a dehydrator currently, is it possible to use the over on low heat with your bread recipes? Thanks. Cheers Min
Hello Min… I haven't tried it myself so I can't be sure, but I am guessing it could be ok. It most likely won't be "raw" once done, so keep that in mind. Keep the heat as low as possible and crack the oven door during the process. You will have to watch the bread and test often. Let me know if you try it. Have a wonderful evening, amie sue
Hi, I really want to start making these raw breads and other things at home, which dehydrator should I start with?
Hi Paul… if you look at my store which you can find the link at the bottom of the left side menu bar… there is a section with the Excalibur dehydrators. I LOVE and use those. amie sue
I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing. I am new at the raw food diet lifestyle and have so much to learn, and your site is so helpful!!First thing on my list is a dehydrator as I love my spicy food :)
Thanx again for this wonderful informative site <3
Thank you Mary. It blesses me to know that you are finding great inspiration throughout my site. I hope that you continue to do so. I am always her e if you have any questions. Have a great day, amie sue
Hi, I just got my dehydrator but I feel a little overwhelmed. I don't know how to organize myself. Do you leave yours unattended? Do you run it at night? How do you organize yourself? For example on a receipe that needs to be first dehydrate at 145 for 5 hours and then 10 more hours at 105. Thanks!
Good evening Irma…
First thing first…. YAY!!! I am so glad that you made the investment. You will find it to a be a great tool to have in your kitchen. :)
Secondly… Please don't get overwhelmed, you will quickly get the hang of using the dehydrator and will find it so fun as new recipes open up to you. Can you share with me what machine and model you got?
I have been using a dehydrator almost daily for the past 7 years… I do leave mine unattended, whether that be during the day or at night. You would never want to dry a food at 145 degrees for 5 hours if you wish for it to remain raw. I sometimes do 145 degrees for 1 hour if it has a high moisture content, such as my raw breads.
As you begin to learn how to make dishes with your machine I might suggest that you start you experiments when you have a day off (If possible) so you don't feel rushed, overwhelmed or worried. But I surely don't want you to feel that you have to peek in your machine every 30 minutes to see how it is doing either.
Since you are brand new to using a dehydrator, why not start with soaking and dehydrating nuts and/or seeds? This is very simple to do but it will break you in with great ease. Read this link… if you need some help with that. https://nouveauraw.com/soaking-nuts-seeds-and-grains/. You don't have to worry about them over-drying so you won't need to worry about when the machine has to turned off, if you know what I mean. Follow the directions for soaking, then dry them as instructed. You could place them in the machine in the evening and wake up to dried nuts / seeds or you can start the process in the morning and they should be done by late evening. Just depends on how full the machine is, the climate and so forth.
Now, should you start with a recipe that tells you to dry at 145 degrees for 1 hour, then reduce the temp to 115 degrees (F)… I would turn the unit on, then set a timer (on your phone, stove, etc) once it goes off, reduce the heat. It is important that you watch the time when you have the temp up that high. Should you forget and the food dries the whole time at that heat, it won't be raw anymore.
I don't know you schedule or lifestyle but get in the habit of fully reading a recipe all the way through so you can plan out the time it takes to make and dry the item. Ask yourself… Can it be drying while I am at work? Can it dry while I am sleeping? and so forth. It's not a good idea to start a food dehydrating, then turn it off while still moist, let it sit while you are gone from the house, then come home and restart the machine backup. This can lead to bacteria growing on the food.
Deep breath Irma… no stress, no worrying… enjoy the process and reap the rewards of delicious nutrient dense foods! I hope this helped. Please let me know. amie sue
Thank you Amie-sue!
I bought a TSM D-10 dehydrator. I decided on this one because it is less noisy.
Everything you said was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and help me.
There are so many things that I love about your site: recipes, pictures, the information you put, and that you are always there to help, thanks again!
Your welcome Irma… glad that I was able to help. I haven't seen the TSM in person. One day if you would like to, I would love to hear a review from you as to what you think about it. :) Have a blessed weekend. amie sue
Can you use all of these in an oven too?!
Well Eemmily, that's a great question. There isn't a black and white answer since each food / recipe will differ. I have another post that explains how to go about using a conventional oven: https://nouveauraw.com/dehydrating/conventional-oven-food-drying/
Blessings, amie sue
Hi Amie-Sue…I am trying to dehydrate some apples.
I would love them to be crunchy…just can't seem to get that crunch…What am I doing wrong?
Hope your having a great day or night :)
Yours sincerely Trish Lee
Good morning Trish,
You can slice them thinner or dehydrate them longer. Enjoy, amie sue
Hi Im Kareen, im just going to start making Beef jerky. Although i didnt read it in your article about beef Jerky. I am interested to know about the process of temperature that you recommended. Does it also apply to beef jerky to turn the temperature high at first and then turn it low after some hours?
I hope to hear you back. Thank you!
Hello Kareen,
I think you would be best served to Google, "Dehydrating Beef Jerky" and do some research. This particular site is vegan (except for the use of honey). Good luck! amie sue
To sweet Amie,
I got the inspiration of dehydrating Excalibur from you. Like many people i am always on the way to look for good methods of cooking to keep the healthy nutrient and luckily i just found your page recently and decided to order 9-tray Excalibur ^^ yay
I read your recommendation on veggie tools and quite overwhelm because there are many kinds. Because im new for this journey so could you please support me to choose one good slicer which can use for many purposes :)
Thank you so much Amie.
Bella Nguyen
Good day Bella,
I am thrilled that I was able to inspire you to bring new and exciting tools into the kitchen. :) When you are referring to a slicer are you looking for a mandolin? If that is what you are talking about then I recommend this one: https://nouveauraw.com/equipment/knives-and-accessories/swissmar-borner-v-1001-v-slicer-plus-mandoline-6-piece-set/
Let me know if I understood correctly. :) Blessings, amie sue
Thanks for mentioning that you can dehydrate herbs, seeds, cheese, and yogurt! My husband and I are wanting to expand our food storage, and we are starting to explore the world of dehydration. I'm glad I ran into your article; I never knew there were so many options! We'll have to see if there are any dehydrator rentals in our area.
You're welcome Shayla… a dehydrator is a staple appliance in my kitchen. :) enjoy and many blessings, amie sue

Because the main person you should trust with secrets of national and planetary security is Will Smith (especially when he's on his way to a barbecue), we're actually not too shocked at the fact that his son, Jaden Smith, says President Barack Obama told him about aliens.
The 14-year-old rapper and actor told Wonderland magazine (via Zap2It), "I like aliens!"
"I think aliens are really cool, because they exist. I talked to President Obama about the extraterrestrials. He said he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of aliens, which means they're real."
Smith added, "If people think we're the only people that live in this universe, then something is wrong with them."
Yes. Something almost as wrong as someone who thinks the President doesn't have other things (Boston, North Korea, the NDAA, his wife's bangs, daughters so cute they should be locked up til they're 35) to worry about besides entertaining Will Smith's progeny.
Based on Jaden's logic about neither confirming nor denying anything, we guess this means those Scientology rumors are true. Right?

CIS: If It's So Ineffectual, Why Do Leaders Keep Meeting?
Leaders from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are holding a summit today in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. They are due to discuss CIS reform, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and other issues. The meeting, hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, is expected to end with agreements being signed on terrorism, fighting extremist groups, and on curbing illegal migration. But the CIS is widely considered to be ineffectual in its goal of preserving close economic and defense ties between the former Soviet states. So why do the leaders keep meeting?

Glenn Beck says he suffered "subhuman" treatment on an American Airlines flight and believes he was targeted for his political views.
Beck said on his online show that as he and his family took a flight home from New York City over the weekend, he was targeted by a flight attendant who took issue with his opinions.
"I want to personally thank American Airlines for bringing to my attention that they don't mean 'American Airlines,'" he said. "They mean 'liberal American Airlines' apparently."
Beck said the flight capped a weekend in which a "minority-owned" New York City barbecue restaurant mistreated him. He said he didn't think his race was the reason for the mistreatment, "because there were white people in there." He was also treated poorly at another restaurant, he said.
Also read: Glenn Beck's Media Network Consolidates GBTV, Marketplace Under TheBlaze.com
Among the mistreatment he said he received on the flight:
>>The attendant was nice to others on the flight, but "barked" the word "breakfast" at Beck and slammed a soda down on his tray.
>>The attendant didn't open the can for him, as he did for other passengers.>>"Never once did he look me in the eye. Never once did he offer a kind or even a neutral word to me," Beck said. "I had service unlike I have never had ever before in my life, and I have had rude service before. I lived in New York City."
>>The service was "specifically designed to make me feel subhuman."
>>The attendant, sharing personal details, told others on the flight that he was a former Israeli soldier and that he is "so proud" of the U.S.'s liberal cities.
Beck said he wondered what he had done to offend the attendant.
"I wondered if he was ever made to feel like a second-class citizen before," he said. "I wondered if he had any friends and family in the dark years of Europe that made them feel less productive. I wonder if his friends and family ever felt like they were less than a welcome member of society because of their faith or who they were or what they believed."
Beck also wondered what the flight attendant would do if he and his friends were in power, and whether they might force Beck to march through the streets wearing a sign mocking him. Beck didn't make the comparison explicitly, but that was one thing Nazis did to Jews in Germany as Hitler rose to power.
At the end of the flight, Beck says, he tried to take the high ground by thanking the attendant "for not treating my children the way you treated me." The attendant's response, according to Beck, was, 'It was my pleasure. You deserved it.'"
American Airlines has reached out to Beck's office to try to win back his business.
"We continue to investigate the situation to better understand what happened," an airline spokesman said. "We take customer complaints seriously, but we owe it to all of our customers and people to follow our prescribed process to get the facts first and then take appropriate action. We regret that Mr. Beck had a disappointing experience on his recent flight. We value his business and intend to work directly with him to resolve the matter once we have the necessary information."

Shootings haunt special session
HARTFORD -- The General Assembly on Wednesday shed tears over the slayings in Newtown, then swallowed hard and readied the final pieces of $365 million in adjustments to the current $20 billion budget.
The $221.5 in cuts and $30.8 million in new revenue was approved in the House 140 to 3 at about 8 p.m., after a half-hour debate and no comment from rank-and-file lawmakers. The Senate took up the bill at 8:20.
The $252.3 million will be combined with $113 million in unilateral reductions ordered last month by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero, R-Norwalk, said that the emotional stress in the aftermath of the school massacre brought Republican and Democratic lawmakers together for a late-breaking compromise last week.
"It was the spirit of Sandy Hook that was in that room," Cafero said, recalling that before news of the shootings emerged last Friday, budget negotiators were deadlocked.
"There was a sense of trust," said Majority Leader Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden. "I hope and expect that level of trust will always be there and continue into the next session."
There's an estimated $1.2 billion deficit looming in the next budget, which starts July 1 and which the next General Assembly will assemble to address on Jan. 9.
The current deficit had been estimated at between $365 million and $417 million. Malloy ordered $170 million in cuts, but they had a net reduction of $113 million, according to nonpartisan fiscal analysts.
Although only one House Democrat voted against the adjustments, some lawmakers, particularly urban Democrats, said they were not happy with the cuts, but they vowed not to hold up the bill.
"This is hard for me," said Rep. Ezequiel Santiago, D-Bridgeport. "These are cuts that are limiting services that are tough to support. We're going to have to revisit this. Once we make these cuts, I'm worried about more cuts coming down the line. I'll support this now, knowing the bigger battle is ahead."
The budget adjustments included several items related to Newtown, including provisions to provide schedule flexibility for the town's school district in the wake of the shooting. The district will not be required to open all 180 days.
Hospital's were cut by about $103 million for Medicaid and low-income patients.
Cuts to the general budget are in 140 different programs, ranging from $443 for the Stepping Stones Museum in Norwalk, to $4,500 for wildlife disease control at the state Agricultural Experiment Station; and $25 million in debt service savings because of a favorable shift in interest rates. Two million dollars was eliminated from the state tourism marketing budget.
Bridgeport's Discovery Museum sustained a nearly $4,000 cut.
The $30 million in new revenue includes gathering up unused budget accounts in a process called sweeps; revisions in the state's tax credits for film production; and a conversion to bonding in the way that the state fund stem-cell research.

I have been trying to downsize my cosmetic collection AGAIN, and I've been coming across tons of make up I purchased but haven't used yet. These cute nail polishes – 'speckled egg' styles ones from Korean brand, Tony Moly were in one of my 'to review' boxes. There are 5 colours – the full range I believe, in five different hues.
They are called Nail Shuffle – Tony Moly has a vast collection of nail polishes with different finishes and different names. In all honesty I don't know half of them – I only know the most well known collections such as the Galaxy polishes.
Anyway let's take a look at these spring and summer friendly (Easter friendly?!) colours!
They have names!:
SH01 – Jumping Mint
SH02 – Staring Peach
SH03 – Neon round
SH04 – Pink Square
SH05 – Step Blue
I don't always find Korean release emails that fantastic, as they seem to chip quickly on me. Tony Moly polishes fare better than most.
These polishes have a nice texture, not too runny, not to thick and have a nice brush with evenly cut bristles that spread the polish on fine.
First colour:
This mint is a lime green with multi coloured glitters in various shapes, mainly hexagons. The problem with this one is that the base colour is a sheer green – which I always think looks a bit odd. Who wears sheer lime polish anyway, it makes them look a bit ill…if nails could be ill. BE BOLD OR GO HOME.

Among the many surprises pre-loaded into the 3DS, Nintendo's next big handheld device, the biggest is that the thing is packed with a hidden role-playing game. It's no Final Fantasy or Dragon Age. It's something simpler and, arguably, more important.
It appears to be a gateway game, something that might transform a Brain Age gamer into a Dragon Quest gamer, or, to stereotype a little, something that might turn a grandma into the kind of gamer her grandson is.
The little game that could do this is called Find Mii. [Kotaku]

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Kevin Durant produced the third triple-double of his career while playing barely half the game Wednesday in Oklahoma City's 119-74 bashing of New Orleans.
Durant scored 16 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out 11 assists. With the Thunder strolling to the easy win, Durant was on the floor for a mere 27 minutes.
Russell Westbrook led Oklahoma City in scoring with 29 points while Serge Ibaka had 18 points and seven rebounds.
It was the Thunder's third straight win and they have now beaten consecutive opponents by 30 points for the first time in franchise history. Oklahoma City disposed of Chicago 102-72 on Sunday.
New Orleans, which lost for the fifth time in six games, was led by Ryan Anderson with 14 points.
Oklahoma City shot 55 percent from the floor and recorded the most one-sided victory in the history of the series.

Ed Sheeran Adopts a Kitten! [PHOTOS]
As if we needed another reason to love Ed Sheeran. Pop music's beloved ginger kid has a new BFF, and it's his kitten, Graham, a month-old feline that he adopted right before the cat was to be euthanized.
So not only is Ed a brilliant songwriter, but he also saves lives! Thankfully, he swooped in and rescued the G-man in the nick of time.
He and Graham make quite a pair. Check out the pic of the mischievous twosome below. We can't decide who has better eyes!
Graham is already a hit with Sheeran fans. The singer even created a Twitter account for his fur baby. Follow Graham Shizza here. He already has almost 50,000 followers. Meow! It's certainly one of the more entertaining celeb pet feeds. His Twitter bio states that he likes his belly rubbed and Sheba food. That's not too much to ask for.
What a cutie! We're so glad Ed saved him.
You know who else is likely stoked about Sheeran adopting a kitten? Oh, just his tourmate and human BFF, Taylor Swift. She is a notorious cat lover. Perhaps Graham and Swift's cat, Meredith, can hook up for a play date while their human parental units work on songs.
Sounds heavenly, doesn't it?

Thinking Outside the Sandbox
This Treasure Island couple raises the bar for beach art.
At 2:30 p.m. Meredith Corson and Dan Doubleday arrive on a mostly empty stretch of snow-white beach. Two hours later they're surrounded by new friends, a group of stunned spectators captivated by their sculpture rising out of the sand.
The pair carefully waltzes around the 1,000-pound pile of sand, which is shaped like a giant, tiered wedding cake. Dan leads, blocking out the shape of a body, and Meredith follows close behind, adding the details. They carve, brush, and blow the pile into a beautiful female form. When they're finished, the figure looks as though she's built from solid sandstone bricks.
"I like the fact that it's not permanent," Meredith says, brushing sand from her hands. "All you have when it's over is the memory of seeing it made. This is very much a performance art."
A Winning Relationship
Dan and Meredith met at a Vancouver Island sand-sculpting competition in 1996, and their instant connection grew into a loving partnership. Since then, they have won nearly every competition they've entered, including individual and team world championships. In addition, their St. Petersburg company, Sanding Ovations, sculpts for beach weddings and does commercial work for companies such as Pepsi. The team also appeared on the Travel Channel's Sand Blasters show in 2006 and 2007.
Neither Dan nor Meredith has any formal art training. They both stumbled upon their unusual talent―Dan while sculpting sand dolphins for his kids on a California beach and Meredith while watching the "World's Largest Sand Castle" event on Treasure Island. Friends and family encouraged them to compete.
Mastering the Art
Professionally trained or not, the couple has honed their creative skills through sand sculpting. Of the two, Dan is the imaginative force behind new designs and daring ideas. He has become quite good at drawing, and he's known for his ability to carve proportional human bodies. His innovations not only push Meredith to try new things, but they also challenge the sand-sculpting industry as a whole, Meredith says.
"I've just found sand to be the most fulfilling thing in my life because I really carve from the heart," says Dan. "When I do solo pieces, I leave a part of my life―my kids, relationships, who I am―on the beach."
Meredith, on the other hand, directs her focus to the details of each sculpture. Her steady hand adds the shadows and deep lines that bring the project to life. Even the tiniest, nearly imperceptible details matter, she says. "My lightbulb moment was meeting Dan and seeing what he was doing with realism," she explains. "He convinced me I could do things I didn't think I was capable of."
Taking Time To Teach
Out-of-the-box sculptures are Dan and Meredith's trademark. The pair has carved everything from a full carousel to a sandy replica of Michelangelo's Pietà. Some of their projects have required truckloads of sand weighing as much as 200 tons. Dan isn't a big fan of castles, and, really, who can blame him? There's little thrill in making something that's already been done, especially when you're capable of sculpting a breaching whale, barnacles and all. •
For more information about Meredith and Dan's work or to contact them for sculpting lessons, visit www.sandingovations.com.
How To: Art on the Beach
Meredith and Dan were kind enough to bring it down a notch―well, several notches―in order to teach me the tricks of their trade. Because I had never sculpted before, we settled on a simple castle. The results weren't perfect. My turret turned out a bit lopsided, and the sides weren't perfectly smooth, but my little, lumpy castle was the best beach art I had ever made. With the following tips, perhaps you can do even better.
In order to make a professional-quality sandcastle, you'll need the right tools. Pros such as Meredith and Dan have their own special gadgets, but the more easily acquired implements below will do the trick for the rest of us.
- Two 5-gallon buckets (one with the bottom cut out) and one piece of PVC piping, about 15 inches long and 4 inches in diameter. The bottomless bucket and the PVC pipe will serve as forms for the sand.
- A shovel, a butter knife, some toothpicks, and a cheese-serving wedge
- A balloon pump or small fireplace bellows
Meredith and Dan's first hint is to select good sand. Lucky for me, they had already scouted out a perfect patch of powdery beach for our project. Steer clear of "bad sand," which feels round and granular. As a test, make a "Florida snowball" (a.k.a. a ball of wet sand), and throw it a few feet into the air. The best sand will barely crack when you catch it.
"Thinking Outside the Sandbox" is from the April 2008 issue of Florida Living, a special section for our subscribers in Florida.

Community Updates
From Openmoko
Even though FIC strives to keep the community informed of the development progress, FIC does not provide delivery dates. Instead, FIC tries to report on the project status here and on the openmoko-community mailing list.
The status is usually updated at least twice a month, usually by Michael Shiloh. Updates are also mailed to the community mailing list (see below for previous updates), and major updates are also sent to the announce list.
You are invited to add questions or topics you think should be included in the Community Updates.
The latest Community Update is the November 27, 2007 Community Update.
Summary of the current Status
GTA02 hardware design and test
While writing a device driver for the new battery which provides an accurate counter of the charge state of the GTA02, OpenMoko discovered that the device driver gets timeouts due to a very long response time with only one I/O signal when trying to read the charge state. To be able to read the battery status properly, it will be necessary to re-design that part of the GTA02 for hardware version GTA02A5 to use two I/O signals to reduce the response time.http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=957#c1].
Previously it was not known that there would be a GTA02A5 hardware design, so any estimates on when GTA02 will be released at the earliest seem to be outdated as of this information and as there seem to be at least one month between new hardware designs, this seems to add at least one month of delay. In case previous estimates of delivery of GTA02 by early January would have been correct, this would now mean that GTA02 ships in February the earliest.
gllin GPS driver for GTA01
We have received permission to distribute this driver in binary-only form, but the legal teams of Global Locate and OpenMoko have not been able to agree on a method for doing so.
November 13, 2007: We have heard that Global Locate is willing to let us release the binary without requiring any further legal steps, but we have not been able to confirm this with anyone of authority.
Note that the binary format of the driver will be OABI, which is different from what we now use (EABI). There are various work-arounds (chroot, wrapper).
850 MHz band not supported in USA+Canada (e.g. comment 24 on bug #256)
The GSM chip set is capable of quad band operation but the circuit implemented only supports 3 bands. So, 850Mhz is not supported on the GTA01 board. Instead we support 900/1800/1900MHz.
Anyone interested in more details is welcome to email me.
Delivery of a GSM firmware update for the 3G SIM bug (#666)
A bug in the GSM firmware prevents some USA 3G SIM cards from working properly. The bug has been fixed, but since the GSM module is under extremely tight legal protection, it is not clear whether or how we can allow customers to perform this upgrade themselves.
November 13, 2007:
We have heard that TI has figured out a way to let you, our customers, upgrade the firmware, but we have not been able to get hold of the person at TI who can tell us how we should do this.
We have permission to perform a Very Hacky Workaround: Get your Neo to me (Michael Shiloh), and I will perform the GSM firmware upgrade for you. Contact me for details.
Questions or Topics you think are missing
SMedia 3362 Documentation & OpenGL ES Drivers
There is an open source kdrive driver being written for the GTA02 which will use hardware to accelerate the XRender extension. While the chip is capable of 3D graphics, no OpenGL ES driver/library is avaliable and OpenMoko developers will not be writing one in the near future (although they have not ruled it out in the long-term).
Documentation for the SMedia 3362 has been promised (see this post). However, this refers to documentation OpenMoko developers will be writing themselves, not the technical documentation SMedia have provided OpenMoko with. The OpenMoko developers had to sign an NDA with SMedia to obtain this documentation and are therefore unable to pass this information on to community developers. (See this post for details)
Oh no, more delays.
I read from Claes Mogren's notes "a hardware bug in power management with GTA02v4... ...release will be delayed even further... " So how long is this deadly delay? Are we talking days, weeks or months of further delay.
I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling disappointed (and getting a bit despondent) as I had really hoped to get myself a wifi version of the phone for a Christmas present, even if I have to use the command line just to make a call at least I would have it in my hand.
How does this affect 850MHz?
Since an additional rev is required anyways, will this allow 850MHz support to be part of GTA02v5? (That would be very cool for those of us in the 'States)
Binary driver for GPS?
Last time I read, the GPS module would be identified as a serial port device that could be dealt with by existing GPS Free Software without needing binary drivers, what's this setback on user's freedoms due to? I was so hoping for a computer who could make calls and give me directions which was 100% Free Software. Is this only temporary or definitive?

Clearman necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 130 diseños de 65 diseñadores freelance.
Company name is "My Rental History Report" http://www.webcontempo.net/ This is our temporary website while we develop a LOGO.
We provide people who rent apartments a copy of the background check information their new landlord will see when they fill out an application. This way there are no surprises and you know in advance before you start paying application fees at apartment complexes what they will see to determine if you are approved.
One of the things we provide that most others don't is a copy of your credit report, eviction history, and other personal information in an easy to read report.
This is a new product that we are bringing to the marketplace after hearing from customers that they keep filling out "applications and paying the fee" and keep getting rejected by information the new landlord sees on background checks. Our service shows you EXACTLY what the landlord sees before they see it.
Our target market is people who are "Renters". These are people who rent apartments, condos, and homes. They typically have something in their background they could affect whether they are "approved" for a new place to rent.
The only requirements we have are around colors & use the name "My Rental History Report"
Red is R-167, G-23, B-50 or PMS #187 C
Blue is R-35, G-42, B-114 or PMS 2756 C
If you would like to see some of the other logos we have for other companies we own please visit these websites.

They kill but they are not banned. They cause immense pain yet they are legal. They fill the hospitals with victims and still the governments make money from them. They are the cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and other things that make victims of their users. So why are they legal and why can't the users get off these insidious creators of pain and death. The answer is because we are in the world of 666, the destroyer.
While people search for him in the rise of leaders and those who are causing today's havoc they have never suspected Constantine, who established the Catholic Church in 325 AD, of being that person. They have not known how his systems of government and finance control the World Order.
Following my reincarnation and with a strong link to the Spirit of the Universe it commissioned me to remove the barrier of deceit put up by the first beast of Revelation 13 and strengthened by the Emperor. He used all the power of the first to make himself great in the eyes of men. He stole the name of the Spirit, Jesus, for his invented Jesus Christ, and now he "sits in the temple as God shewing himself that he is God." (II Thessalonians 2:3,4).
The great falling away is taking place now as those who obtain knowledge are leaving religions in droves. The Spirit of God is flooding the world with light as promised in Micah 4:1 and the Mount Zion is here. It is the Internet to which all people are flowing for answers and it is available to people everywhere, even in the poorest countries.
The facts are that all is happening to the plan of the Spirit of the Universe, the only real God. It fills all of space and people are waking up to the size of that as space craft and cameras demonstrate it. Our nearest planet, Mars, is 250 million miles from earth and we have at least 8 and possibly 9 such planets in our solar system.
The Milky Way has trillions of stars and planets that we are aware of and the entire space is beyond human perception. This is also the size and power of the Spirit. Yet it is concerned with us. It planted a vineyard at the start of the day of the lord (Isaiah 5:4,7) as a metaphor for the children of Israel who were seeded with spirit and given instructions on how to remain loyal to the voice within.
That little voice has led and guided them to the end where we are now. The drugs, alcohol, and other poisons are part of the time as people burn up with fire and pain as judgment comes against them. What they did throughout the course of the day is recorded. They are back as promised (Isaiah 26:19) to learn why they have lived and why they are punished for their behaviour in past lives and this one.
