Knock, knock. Hey, sport. Are you busy? Well, just take a quick homework break. We need to talk.
Yes, "the talk."
I know, I know, this is a bit awkward. But you're growing up and as your father I need to tell you about, uh, how the world works. I just want to make sure you have all the facts. About jay-walking.
No, come on, sit down. This doesn't have to be weird. Jay-walking is just a normal part of adult life. I know you've probably already heard a lot around the locker room or on the internet. Don't lie, it's the home computer, son, I've seen the browsing history. But it's not like that in the real world -- don't think that it's all jay-walking for hours and hours on end with multiple streets. That's all fantasy.
I want to tell you what it's like in reality. Now, when a man or a woman is walking somewhere, sometimes they want to travel faster. Maybe they don't want to wait for a light, or they don't want to go to the end of a block to cross, or they just want to be on the other side of the street. So they, uh, they step out and walk across the street, to get to the other side.
Come on son, it's not gross, it's natural. Every creature jay-walks: people, animals, even plants, they all do it. How do you think a deer gets to the other side of a stream? Or a salmon gets across a bunch of rocks? Or a rose bush climbs a trellis? It's natural.
And I know you don't want to hear it, but I've jay-walked myself, son. Come on, stop. You're not going to puke. I wasn't always a fuddy-duddy dad. Boy, I jay-walked a lot back in my NYU days. It's just something that, when you get to a certain age, you start wanting to do. For good reason - it feels great, like regular walking, only better.
But you have to be responsible and safe. Jay-walking can be dangerous if you're not careful. You have to pay attention, check your surroundings, and wear shoes. Always. If you need to, you can borrow mine, no questions asked. I keep them under my bedside table, just grab them whenever. You need to protect yourself - you could get an infection. You could slip and fall. You could break a limb. You could get fined by a cop.
Don't feel rushed into it if you're not ready. You might feel pressure, like people will think less of you if you don't jay-walk. Some people wait a long time to jay-walk, and that's okay. Because you don't want to cross just any road. It should be special. Make sure it's a road that you really care about.
Because you don't want to be known as a frequent jay-walker. I don't want to shame anyone or encourage you to judge people or use bad language, but you need to keep your reputation in mind. It's one thing to be an active, healthy jay-walker with the streets you love and trust. And I hope that some day you can have healthy jay-walking relationships and you can jog across streets. It's okay to experiment safely but don't get carried away, alright sport? It's just, it's hard to shake once it's what you're known for.
Does that all make sense? Do you have any questions? Okay, no I understand, but don't be embarrassed to ask. Now you probably understand all those, why-did-the-chicken-cross-the-road jokes your uncle makes at Thanksgiving, huh?
Okay, alright, alright. Get back to your homework. Sorry to interrupt.
Good talk, sport.

This event is all ages
Just out of their teens, it seems Copenhagen's Iceage have only added to the anxiety and tension that made their debut album, New Brigade, so compelling. But now, they're challenging their raging emotions instead of simply expressing them. You're Nothing, Iceage's sophomore album, is the sound of a band pushing their singular mix of punk, Goth, hardcore, and post-punk to even further extremes.
It's overwhelming how many ways Iceage have found to write the short aggressive rock song.
When you see Iceage live you get the feeling the songs are just about to fall apart before miraculously recovering, always rewarding you with a climax. This menacing energy is more forceful on You're Nothing. It is a more epic sound, like a rough sea.
Boredom can be bittersweet. In the case of downcast Copenhagen group Lower, it recently spawned a visceral EP of dense, beguiling punk poetry. Forming in 2009, the band emerged from a long-standing friendship between vocalist Adrian Toubro, 23, and drummer Anton Rothstein, 22, who met at primary school. But it was only after high school that the two settled on the humble idea of "starting a rock band," enlisting guitarist Simon Formann and bassist Kristian Emdal to round out their sound: the shrill creak and clangor of post-punk and no wave combined with the air-deprived urgency of 1980s hardcore.
Lower's debut Walk on Heads EP, originally released by the Danish label Escho and due Stateside in September via Blind Prophet, is a promising first listen, but it's with repeat plays that Toubro's lyrical ambition reveals itself. His gray, melodic lines muse on crushing lethargy and personal stagnation, adding substance to the band's repertoire. I first heard about Lower when the frontman for fellow Danish punks Iceage, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, mentioned them in an interview with The New York Times-- "It was almost annoying they could be so good," he said of their first gig-- which makes sense considering how inbred the Copenhagen scene can be. Along with Iceage and Lower, there's Sexdrome (in which Rothstein drums), VÅR (featuring Emdal on synth), Girlseeker, Skur, Hand of Dust, Redflesh, Dogmatist, Sejr, Pagan Youth, and Jackman, among others.
Lower's most recent 7", "Someone's Got It in for Me" b/w "But There Has to Be More" (released last October by the Austin label 540 Records) topped many Best Of lists of 2012 and in addition to a limited split 7" with ICEAGE (available only on this tour), they are planning a full-length for 2013 via Escho.
Hand of Dust
Hand Of Dust is an alternative rock band from Copenhagenn Denmark.
Puce Mary
Puce Mary is the solo project of Copenhagen-based experimental musician Frederikke Hoffmeier. Closely affiliated with the punk scene that grew out of the danish capital and spawned labels like Posh Isolation and bands like Iceage, Vår and Lust for Youth, Hoffmeier has chosen a somewhat different path.
As a solo project, Puce Mary is constantly evolving and never stays in the same place for very long. Where the early tapes and vinyls on danish label Posh Isolation have been minimal with a dark edge, Hoffmeier has recently showcased her diversity through live performances and collaborations.
Marching Church
Since 2010, Elias Bender Rønnenfelt (Iceage, Vår) has used the Marching Church moniker to a variety of musical ends, both live and recorded. However, the project as it exists on This World Is Not Enough wasn't born until November 2013. With a live performance looming and no real idea what the set would be, Rønnenfelt found a new vision for the band while daydreaming at a gig at the venue where Marching Church was set to perform. "What I pictured was me in a comfortable armchair, adorned in a golden robe, leading a band while a girl kept pouring me champagne when I required it," Rønnenfelt explained. "This raised the question, 'What sort of music would go along with this picture?'" Rønnenfelt discovered the answer to that question with a lineup rounded out by Kristian Emdal and Anton Rothstein of Lower, Cæcilie Trier (Choir of Young Believers), Bo H. Hansen (Hand of Dust, Sexdrome) and Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary). Under Rønnenfelt's leadership, the group composed some music, rehearsed twice, and played their show. It was decided that night, at the behest of the sound engineer Lars Rex, that this incarnation of Marching Church would make a record. This World Is Not Enough was influenced at first by obscure works like David Maranha's experimental drone-rock saga Antarctica, and eventually by soul bandleaders like James Brown and Sam Cooke. "The whole month of writing and rehearsing and the one week we had in the studio was truly an explosion of ideas," Rønnenfelt said. "Improvisation, something I have never worked with before, was crucial in the making if this album, considering the loose nature of the writing on some of these songs. The album works because of the bands incredible ability of breathing life into these, at times, very simple ideas and experiments." "We decided to record the songs with all six of us in the same room, with me singing and directing. Only the horns, children's choir and a few dubs were added," Rønnenfelt adds. "I am dumbfounded in how we managed to pull it off, considering the limited time and the fact that we couldn't afford to pay anybody involved."
The eight tracks that made the final cut are, in Rønnenfelt's words, "songs of nocturnal longing, preposterous self-obsession and cockeyed etiquette." They move effortlessly between Bruce Springsteen bombast, Nick Cave menace, and James Brown swagger while never sounding like the work of anyone but Rønnenfelt himself. This World Is Not Enough is a defining statement in his career, and doubtlessly the brightest star in the Marching Church firmament.
Sexdrome formed in 2008, hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band plays Trashy, Raw Black Metal Punk with an uproar that explodes into a supernova of psychosexual mayhem.
Lust For Youth
Lust for Youth is the solo vehicle of Swedish electronic musician Hannes Norrvide. The project began in 2009 in Gothenburg, Sweden, at a collective venue/practice space when Norrvide's friends were starting up a punk band. He was inspired to join in, but he only had access to a somewhat useless toy keyboard, so due to the limitations of his instrument, he opted instead to make music alone. The early experiments of Lust for Youth were raw, primitive, and drony. Norrvide worked on the project tirelessly, releasing several cassette albums and miscellaneous 7" singles before the release of 2011's proper full-length, Solar Flare, on the Italian label Avant! Records. At this point Lust for Youth had grown from its hazy beginnings into a tormented darkwave sound, minimal electronics, and gothic beats that bordered on harsh noise. Loke Rahbek of Sexdrome joined Hannes in collaboration following the release of the record, and the duo played shows throughout Europe. In 2012 the harsh and dissonant Growing Seeds album materialized, released again on Avant! in Europe and on Sacred Bones in the United States. Around that time the band relocated from Sweden to Copenhagen, Denmark. They followed in 2013 with third album Perfect View, again released on Sacred Bones.
Age Coin
Age Coin, the Danish duo of Simon Formann and Kristian Emdal whose work you may have previously encountered as members of the Copenhagen based bands Lower, Var and Girlseeker.
Girlseeker hail from the very productive Copenhagen scene, in which mainly Iceage is breaking necks lately. Girlseeker was born through the anus of that indie punk scene. They sound like the retarded cousin of Ariel Pink or as Joy Division on an afterparty on poppers at 2 pm.
Communions is a new young quartet, from the same four-wall rehearsal space as Copenhagen contemporaries Iceage and Lower, and under the same roof as most of Copenhagen's new punk, industrial and synth scene - at the studio and venue complex called Mayhem in Copenhagen.
Though Communions share a flame with the current Copenhagen wave, the torch is certainly their own. The four tracks that make up their debut EP entitled Cobblestones map out the aches and hopes of young hearts with remarkable precision and honesty, and is done with an unusual ear for melody and song writing.
The four young men, brothers Martin and Mads Rehof, together with Jacob van Deurs Formann and Frederik Lind Köppen recorded their debut on their own - in their rehearsal space at Mayhem and in Frederik's living room, resulting in songs sounding exactly as they were intended, where the guitars scream like torn throats and the songs beat in rhythm of young hearts pouring over with passion.
Raw black metal from Copenhagen, with members of Iceage and Redflesh.

Nearly every property wants an extra bed to support a guest. Most people really don't have enough room within their properties to obtain an additional mattress-bed. They just can't pay for to spare that large room to get made use of at the time in a very while. Sofa beds occur into your scene like a substitute for mattresses-beds.
Tips on how to choose the most comfortable sleeper sofa 2015
Buying a sofa bed might be a challenging occupation given that there are a lot of variants in the market. Most typically located kinds are:
a – Pull-out kinds: These have already been the standard sleepers out there for various decades. To build it a bed, you might want to remove the sitting cushions absent and pull-out the mattress from inside on the sofa.
* They come in several dimensions: Queen, complete, twin, single.. If the dimension gets smaller sized, the title turns into a Enjoy seat bed or a chair bed.
* Bigger color options: Since a few of them produced locally, they have big fabric selections of superior and coloration.
*They are quite unpleasant: Most Us residents, sadly, desire to sink within their sofas somewhat than sitting on them. They want them super gentle. To acquire a super delicate sofa and a bed inside it, the mattress chase must be pretty versatile along with the mattress could well be quite skinny (more often than not they occur only which has a 1 inch foam layer as a mattress). This combination can make sure that you just wake up with a back again ache.
*Sitting cushions are inclined to slide out underneath you pretty quickly.
*Mechanism is hard to operate: It is just a significant challenge for that elderly and people today with back problems to pull the bed out. Primarily for larger sizes, it truly is a demanding work.
* No storage area
b – Futons: May possibly be this is the most broadly acknowledged sleeper style. They're not named sofa beds since they don't appear like a sofa by any means. They are available in metal or wood frames and their rates range from 149 USD to perfectly about a 1,000 USD.
* Widely out there.
*Start from really fair selling prices.
* Rich cushion and frame decisions. You are able to obtain a spring, foam, wool, cotton or any other cushion.
* They are really Futons, not sofas. Not for the residing room, very good for back rooms only.
* Excellent high quality ones with inner spring mattress are high-priced. You can get a greater quality European Sofa bed with identical or less value.
* No storage area.
*Cushion slides effortlessly: This really is may possibly be this is the most significant challenge with futons. The cushion just doesn't keep beneath you and also you ought to pull it up so generally that it turns into a nuisance really shortly.
c – European sofa beds: They're the pinnacles of sleepers nowadays. Genuine "Made in Europe" kinds offer you a superb sleeper. To prevent low-cost Chinese imitations should to consider. The greatest exporter is Turkey.
* Excellent sleeping and sitting excellent: You can find versions with both equally great sleeping and sitting ease and comfort.
* Happens with storage: A lot of the models feature a simple to entry, spacious storage area.
* Simple to operate mechanism. Unlike the pull-out ones, their mechanisms are extremely uncomplicated to functionality. *Inner spring structure: Although you can find models with foam cushions readily available, bulk of them come with a resilient orthopedic innerspring composition.
*Built in Cushion: Unlike futons, you don't have to invest in the frame as well as cushion independently. They have a inbuilt mattress which will not slide under you.
*Un-exchangeable cushion: In the event the cushion gets aged, it is not achievable to exchange it. But for most from the people it should not be a issue due to the fact European Sofa beds are quite strongly constructed and even with daily use like a bed, they very last for any ten years.
* Firm sitting and sleeping surface area: For most Americans, not simply sofa beds but all European manufactured sofas are organization for their taste. It's a extremely relative notion and someone's "firm" is yet another one's "Soft". European sofa beds come in company, mid-firm and tender styles. Even though you're a "soft" crazy, there is nonetheless an opportunity that you should discover a model for your personal style. Most most likely their "soft" design will be "mid-firm" for the flavor..
d – Chinese Sofa-Beds: Chinese will be the excellent masters of copying. The bed room household furniture came from China ten several years in the past ended up thought to be garbage. But at this time they are providing pretty close excellent to American and European created bedroom household furniture. But they nonetheless absence the creativeness that provides you "the touch", "the niche" or "the edge". For sofa beds even though, they have got even now lots to find out. Their excellent is quite inadequate as well as longevity of your merchandise is really very low. Their price ranges will not be low-cost in any way either. Common sofa bed from China with internal spring and storage expenditures up to the European made 1. You shell out similar dollars for the inferior top quality item which lacks the workmanship, convenience and durability.
You need to request by yourself a number of questions to search out out just what you need in advance of deciding what to buy.
1 – How frequently you will use it as being a bed? If a sofa bed is usually to be employed for a bed, let's say monthly a year, and it is for being applied as being a sofa throughout the calendar year; then you must target about the sitting comfort and ease quite compared to sleeping ease and comfort. It does not mean that you simply must acquire a sofa bed that will cripple your guest just after sleeping on it for your day or two. (if you'd like for making certain that your guest stays in a very hotel up coming time, then, it's a diverse tale and also you ought to obtain the pull-out ones I explained above…) When you should utilize it for a bed each individual day, then sleeping convenience is from the utmost value. You'll find sofa beds in the market that happen to be adequate comfortable as being a bed and as a sofa. But most of the time to own a better comfort for among the list of usages, to sacrifice with the other one is relatively unavoidable.
Related on the similar concern, a distinct facet is the sturdiness on the sofa bed. Should you are organizing make use of it for a bed regularly, you then really should purchase 1 with innerspring for longer durability and better sleeping ease and comfort.
2 – How firm does one want? For those who receive a sofa bed with internal spring, for sure, it will be firmer than foam ones. More often than not, foam types are more cozy to sit, but they are significantly less resilient and sleeping ease and comfort is not so great.
3 – Does one will need extra storage? For some, it may not be considered a necessity to obtain an additional storage room; but for the majority of of your people this is a ought to, if not a "good to have". Much of the European Sofa beds and several of their Chinese copies have storage
We have some ultimate tips.
– Unless of course you have got to, don't obtain a sofa bed without having viewing, sitting and laying down on it. But if you're acquainted with all the merchandise and saw same or identical goods somewhere else, then go for it. So long as you are aware of whatever you are purchasing, you can even order on the internet,.
– Choose that which you need to have prior to heading for looking. Optimize your requirements and merchandise out there and decide wisely.
– Make an effort to have your item put in in your house. For those who choose to install on your own, be certain that you receive quite very clear instructions in the vendor. If possible a movie instruction could be best.
– Consult where the item is produced (if it isn't mentioned the merchandise is made in USA or Europe, for certain it's from China or other significantly eastern countries). Never get tricked.

Closure? Ummm…
Not that the death of bin Laden isn't a good thing. The monster is dead… or is it? I have often said that bin Laden was a poster child, a lightning rod for those who share his world view. Those people are still alive. All of the pieces that have been assembled over the years are still in place. I'm sure that morale is currently low and anger is correspondingly high. Bin Laden was, indeed, more than just a poster child. But he was obviously not exerting the same degree of command and control that he had at one time. Al Qaeda was still plugging away, doing the things that al Qaeda does.
What does this mean to Afghanistan? Well, I'm sure that morale is higher amongst the troops. My morale is higher… in a way. The question of whether or not this is a game-changer remains to be seen. Is this going to change what the local insurgent commander or shadow provincial governor in Afghanistan does? Probably not. This is waaay above his pay grade.
I've had the opportunity to speak with a lot of Afghans about bin Laden. First, they never viewed him as being their main problem. Sure, bin Laden supported the Taliban. Al Qaeda funded, recruited, equipped, trained and fielded a "brigade" that fought against the Northern Alliance in the years prior to 9/11. That much we know. Al Qaeda and bin Laden were shielded from the rest of the world and provided for by the Taliban when the Taliban controlled most of Afghanistan. In recent years, al Qaeda wound up with better relations with the Haqqani network than they did with the Quetta Shura Taliban. At least it appeared so. Admittedly, al Qaeda's actual presence in Afghanistan was limited to a couple of hundred individuals. Afghans have more immediate problems with people who do intend to stay there and rule them, such as Gulbuddin and Mullah Omar.
I don't think that the death of bin Laden is a game-changer in Afghanistan.
External support for the Taliban and/or their affiliates may suffer in some way, but I'm in no way convinced that this will be disabling to the Taliban, et al, in any meaningful way. It does not change the threat to Afghanistan from the Taliban, Haqqani and Hizbi Islami Gulbuddin (HiG). Nor does it defeat the criminal patronage networks. It does not magically improve the capability of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA). The degradation of even al Qaeda remains to be seen.
The many Afghans I had the opportunity to speak with over the years I've spent in Afghanistan expressed concern that if we ever did catch up with bin Laden that it would be to the detriment of Afghanistan. Already, there are calls in Congress to abandon Afghanistan. While this is predictable, it is shallow and short-sighted. These calls have been coming from a not insignificant group for some time.
Once the complexity and difficulty of Afghanistan became clear, the "good war" came under fire. Most of us who were personally involved in Afghanistan while it was still the "forgotten, good war" (as opposed to the "bad war" in Iraq), knew that the goodwill towards Afghanistan would wane as the nature of the conflict proceeded to baffle the minds of the ill-informed and idealistic. Now there is a more plausible reason to declare victory and abandon Afghanistan to its fate, as if it will never again influence the world it is a part of. This opportunity to cut and run will not be wasted, and it will likely gain adherents rather than lose them.
It boils down to the struggle between two schools of thought. One contends that the world hates us (particularly Muslims), and that they have good reason to. This school believes that withdrawal and accommodation will assuage this hatred. This school of thought argues that instability does not impact other nations, and certainly is not a threat to the national security of more developed countries.
The other school of thought agrees that instability, in a globalized world that is only getting smaller, has the demonstrated ability to provide festering grounds for non nation-state actors who are now capable of exporting violence on a scale that was formerly the realm of nation-states. Japan used six aircraft carriers and over 400 planes to cause a similar number of American dead in the attacks on Pearl Harbor; this compared to four aircraft-cum-cruise missiles acquired for the price of a few airline tickets on 9/11. That was not the last attack, nor has Afghanistan been the only country to harbor such plotters. But we have seen what "leaving Afghanistan to its fate" has accomplished for us.
Predicting the future is impossible. Could the "Mission Accomplished" crowd be right? I don't have a crystal ball, but I don't agree with them. So my answer is, "No." What we have done in the past was not successful.
So what does the death of bin Laden mean?
It means that we have had some measure of revenge. We have had some resolution for part of our anger. We have cut the head off the snake, and whether that snake is a hydra or a cobra remains to be seen. Many insurgent leaders have been killed in Afghanistan, only to be replaced by less reticent commanders who were more brutal than the ones who we killed. Will that happen with al Qaeda? Only time will tell. We cannot predict that.
More damage may be done to al Qaeda by the "Arab Spring" uprisings in the Middle East than by the death of bin Laden. Al Qaeda has called for uprisings against the regimes in power for years. Al Qaeda wished to inspire general uprisings based upon Islamic rage, not upon the principles of personal liberty and government accountability. The uprisings of the past few weeks in the Middle East were not at all what al Qaeda and bin Laden wished to inspire. If regime changes in the Middle East replace repressive regimes with an opportunity for hope, the very hopeless rage that drives young men into the arms of al Qaeda will come unglued. The death of bin Laden is icing on that cake.
The final results of the Arab uprisings in the Middle East are far from clear. This could still all go horribly awry. The United States has an opportunity to support the development of enduring institutions, non-military institutions, in these countries. In our recent history, our first answer has been to provide military assistance. But the lack of responsive, accountable institutions has been a key factor driving the disaffected to seek solutions to their problems that often wound up being religiously driven. Who can save you from hopelessness? God. Whatever name to use to refer to God, when the world is too big and too hard, many seek explanations and solutions from religious leaders. Christians have had many such as Jim Jones and David Koresh. Muslims have had such leaders as well, and those who find themselves seeking solutions to the intractable problems of their world are drawn to them. Bin Laden counted on these people as his recruiting base.
What happens if this base suddenly gains hope from another source? What happens if they create and sustain institutions that provide accountability and responsiveness? What happens if the governments and economies of these countries begin to offer opportunities and hope? Bin Laden was already beginning to lose his appeal. Now that he is dead, his survivors in al Qaeda will have to deal with this lost traction.
Our struggle remains with competing visions of our role in the post-Cold War world. The death of bin Laden does not end that argument, but will add artificial lubricant to the side which espouses self-centered navel gazing above striving to find a productive way to add to stability in a shrinking world.
"Our struggle remains with competing visions of our role in the post-Cold War world. The death of bin Laden does not end that argument, but will add artificial lubricant to the side which espouses self-centered navel gazing above striving to find a productive way to add to stability in a shrinking world."
I think by that you mean vision 1. What about a more Byzantine that is middle way and yes tricksey way tween vision 1 and 2? I don't buy into either we are the apex of evil nor that it's a smaller, global world. V1 seems to think we are the contaminates the causes the problem, V2 seeks to make the world into an altogether idealized version of us.
Blue my Brother in Arms, what we have to do is secure our own safety. and as far as how it will play out – not should but will – this is my humble 2 cents on it: based on prior observation and experience – it now flies into high gear of cascading raids and maybe even wars, because the American people have been handed victory and intelligence, and they – I will tell you Brother THEY ARE AWAKE AGAIN – and you know what they will want? MORE. and the American Sheeple have had enough of the glad handing, Pakistan will come first. We know where that leads. lets remember Custer. We played around with our own quite noble and wronged tribesmen for centuries, then one day a impulsive man named Custer put himself at a hopeless disadvantage and…it was over in a decade. 13 years later the very same's RELGIOUS leaders began to lead a chanting revival. It was answered at Wounded Knee how? We know. Was it right? Well it was over.
Blue, I'm sorry, I really am. I so wish it could be the other way.
I'm a NJ New Yorker, I smell it now, and I'm not alone, all our bad feelings are back now. But now we see the way out, as does the country. It rolls now is my prediction, for God's sake end the agony of all.
God Bless, and thank you.
"Now there is a more plausible reason to declare victory and abandon Afghanistan to its fate, as if it will never again influence the world it is a part of. This opportunity to cut and run will not be wasted, and it will likely gain adherents rather than lose them…"
And this:
"… That was not the last attack, nor has Afghanistan been the only country to harbor such plotters. But we have seen what "leaving Afghanistan to its fate" has accomplished for us."
I could not agree more, Blue. I get the sick feeling that we will choose to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Authors@Google presents "Synthetic Life: Can the Origin of Life Tape be Replayed?" by David Deamer
"Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist of creating out of void, but out of chaos."
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
In Mary Shelley's classic tale, Dr. Victor Frankenstein assembled a human body from parts retrieved from cadavers. The novel, published nearly two hundred years ago, raised questions that we would now consider to fall within the realm of bioethics. If Dr. Frankenstein wanted to carry out his experiment today he would need to bring it to the attention of the IRB (Institutional Review Board) at his university who would doubtless reject it. And yet, a number of laboratories around the world are attempting to perform a reconstitution of life eerily similar to Frankenstein's dream, to fabricate something alive from a parts list, but on a microscopic scale. There is even a name for such science: synthetic biology. Steven Jay Gould once commented that evolutionary history is like a tape recording, and if we played it again the result would likely be very different. That is probably true for the complexities of evolution, but there may have been only one way for life to originate within the laws of chemistry and physics. In my talk I will briefly trace the history of attempts to fabricate artificial cells that increasingly are approaching the definition of living organisms. These efforts have not yet succeeded, but there is reason to believe that the goal may be achieved in the next decade. The point is that as we attempt to assemble synthetic life, we are retracing some of the steps that led to the origin of life and perhaps will be able to play the tape again.
David Deamer is a Research Professor in the Department of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His undergraduate B.Sc. degree was in Chemistry, at Duke University, Durham NC (1961) and his Ph.D. in Physiological Chemistry from the Ohio State University School of Medicine (1965). Following post-doctoral research at UC Berkeley, he joined the faculty at UC Davis in 1967. In 1994 he moved his laboratory to UC Santa Cruz. Prof. Deamer's research focuses on the process by which cellular life arose on the Earth nearly four billion years ago. This involves studies of meteorites that contain organic carbon compounds, volcanoes that are early Earth analogues, and self-assembly of complex lipid-nucleic acid systems that exhibit some of the properties of life. Prof. Deamer has written First Life, a book on the origin of life that will be published by UC Press in June, 2011.
This talk was hosted by Boris Debic.

A Brain Injury is damage to the brain that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling.
Traumatic Brain Injuries can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury.
Closed Injury: A closed injury occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object but the object does not break through the skull.
Penetrating Injury: A penetrating injury occurs when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue.
As the first line of defense, the skull is particularly vulnerable to injury. Skull fractures occur when the bone of the skull cracks or breaks. A depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue of the brain. A penetrating skull fracture occurs when something pierces the skull, such as a bullet, leaving a distinct and localized injury to brain tissue. Skull fractures can cause cerebral contusion.
Anoxia: Another insult to the brain that can cause injury is anoxia. Anoxia is a condition in which there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues, even if there is adequate blood flow to the tissue.
Hypoxia: Hypoxia refers to a decrease in oxygen supply rather than a complete absence of oxygen, and ischemia is inadequate blood supply, as is seen in cases in which the brain swells. In any of these cases, without adequate oxygen, a biochemical cascade called the ischemic cascade is unleashed, and the cells of the brain can die within several minutes. This type of injury is often seen in near-drowning victims, in heart attack patients, or in people who suffer significant blood loss from other injuries that decrease blood flow to the brain.

Drunken Master: Emanuel Augustus Is Possibly The Best Boxer You've Never Heard Of!
Emanuel Augustus, previously known as Emanuel Ya'kov Burton, is an American former professional boxer who fought out of Brownsville, Texas. He faced top level competition throughout his career, winning the IBA light welterweight title in 2004.
Even though he was a skilled fighter he lost many fights, because the judges use to penalise and deduct points for dancing because they believed he was mocking the sport.

For decades, a succession of city officials has struggled mightily to rebrand
But now much of the attention being showered upon Detroit from the trendiest of quarters comes, in no small measure, thanks to the city's blight. Detroit's brand has become authenticity, a key component of which has to do with the way the city looks. Does fixing the very real problems faced by Detroiters, I began to wonder, mean inevitably robbing Detroit of some part of its essential Detroitness?
This is not exactly a question of gentrification; when your city has 70,000 abandoned buildings, it will not be gentrified anytime soon. Rather, it's one of aesthetics. And in Detroit, you can't talk aesthetics without talking ruin porn, a term that has become increasingly familiar in the city. Detroiters, understandably, can get touchy about the way descriptions and photographs of ruined buildings have become the favorite Midwestern souvenirs of visiting reporters.
Still, for all of the local complaints, outsiders are not alone in their fascination. My friend Phil has staged secret, multicourse gourmet meals, prepared by well-known chefs from local restaurants, in abandoned buildings like the old train station; John and his buddies like to play ice hockey on the frozen floors of decrepit factories. A woman who moved to Detroit from
Meditation on ruin is a long and noble tradition. In Renaissance
My grandfather, who traced our family origins back to
Perhaps not incidentally,
Mostly, though, Moroun has allowed the station to molder. Sitting nearly a mile and a half from the high-rises of downtown, Michigan Central looms like a Gothic castle over its humbler neighbors on Michigan Avenue. It's hard not to think of it as an epic-scale disaster that seems engineered to illustrate man's folly — as if the Titanic, after sinking, had washed ashore and been beached as a warning.
In the Detroit essay in "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It," Geoff Dyer visits Michigan Central Station and runs into some tourists photographing the place. In a funny exchange prompted by one tourist's remarking on how bustling the train station must have been at the height of Detroit's production, Dyer disagrees, arguing:
Ruins don't encourage you to dwell on what they were like in their heyday,before they were ruins.
It's true. While vacationing in Rome, after I had spent about a year back in Detroit, I certainly didn't find myself mentally restoring the Senate or the various temples or filling out the scene with centurions and charioteers. But the past was nonetheless on my mind, the past of Keats and Shelley, when a consumptive poet could wander among these same ruins without the security guards and throngs of German tourists — a time when the ruins were still ruins, but desolate, abandoned, free of all caretakers, not so horribly crowded.
But in Detroit, the tours go on, in an unofficial capacity. One afternoon at the ruins of the 3.5-million-square-foot Packard Plant, I ran into a family from
One evening, in a warehouse and occasional performance space in Eastern Market, I attended a talk on the ruins of Detroit. The speaker was Jim Griffioen, a 30-something white guy with a scruffy beard, dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt. He writes the thoughtful local blog Sweet Juniper, which centers on his life as a stay-at-home dad in Detroit. Before moving back to Michigan (he grew up in Kalamazoo), he worked as a lawyer in the Bay Area, but he quit his job to write and take care of his children. His wife practices law, and on the blog, he describes his family as "just two more yuppies raising their kids in the most dangerous city in America." Close to 200 guests packed the warehouse.
On Sweet Juniper, Griffioen has posted a number of ruin shots: "feral" houses almost completely overgrown with vegetation; a decommissioned public-school book depository in which trees were growing out of the piles of rotting textbooks. But he apparently possessed a special license to publish such images, because he spent much of his talk denouncing lazy out-of-town journalists who use Detroit's ruins as a convenient recession-year symbol for the end of the American dream. (In fact, Griffioen coined the term "ruin porn," in an interview with Vice magazine.)
During the question-and-answer period, a stylishly dressed African-American woman in her 50s stood up to make a contrarian point: that devotees of ruined buildings should be aware of the ways in which the objects of their affection left "retinal scars" on the children of Detroit, contributing to a "significant part of the psychological trauma" inflicted on them on a daily basis. Glancing around the audience — there were four other black people — she went on: "I don't want to insult anybody. But when you talk about how 'we' need to take this city back, I look at this room, and I'm not sure what 'we' you're talking about."
After the talk, I introduced myself to the woman, whose name was Marsha Cusic. She grew up in Highland Park, but her father, Joe Von Battle, had been in the
We met on a Sunday afternoon. Cusic drove us by the rough location of her father's original store, on a long-paved-over stretch of Interstate 75 that runs past Mack Avenue. Later, we passed the intersection of 12th Street and Clairmount, which was the center of the 1967 civic unrest. Cusic's father's second record store was just a few blocks south.
"Everyone likes to point to the riot as the moment everything went wrong in Detroit," Cusic told me. "But you have to understand the idea of a nodal point. It's the same way a teakettle heats up and heats up, and only at the very end does it whistle. It's easy to look at the riot as that nodal point, but really, you're ignoring all of the heat that came before."
We detoured into Highland Park, onto a handful of attractive residential streets lined with immaculate bungalows. This was where Cusic grew up. When her family moved in, she said, the area was almost entirely white, primarily automobile executives. Eventually we ended up in Corktown, the formerly Irish neighborhood adjacent to the old train station, which has become a tiny pocket of gentrification. Cusic pointed out a chicken coop in an
We passed a couple of young white guys with beards standing on a corner, waiting for a light to change. "Some of the people coming here bring a sort of bacchanal spirit — like they're out on the frontier and they can do anything," Cusic said. "Detroit isn't some kind of abstract
We stopped for lunch at a little French bistro. Cusic told me she had a grown son who moved to Los Angeles for work and a sister in

WASHINGTON, DC – In a letter to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Julius Genachowski, 62 members of Congress today told the FCC that the proposed joining of T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS should include specific commitments to preserve and grow jobs here in the United States.
The letter builds on comments filed previously by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and a wide range of national public service organizations that include the NAACP, AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Sierra Club, National Consumers League, Alliance for Retired Americans, Center for Community Change, Jobs with Justice and USAction.
State and local officials — including mayors in Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia — also previously filed letters with the FCC urging substantive commitments to protect existing jobs, as well as expand opportunities in the United States.
If approved, the transaction would combine T-Mobile, with 30,000 employees and 33.2 million customers with MetroPCS, which directly employs 3,700 to service about 9.3 million customers. The FCC's public interest analysis of the proposed deal includes consideration of the impact of the transaction on employment. In the AT&T/Bell South merger for example, the FCC cited the company's commitment to return call center jobs to the U.S. as a significant merger-related benefit. Similarly, in the failed AT&T/T-Mobile merger, AT&T committed to return 5,000 call center jobs from overseas and no job loss for non-management employees.

Houston City Hall Decorated with Rainbow Colors
Houston's Lesbian Mayor Annise Parker decreed that the City of Houston will offer same sex couples benefits provided that they are "legally married."
The problem is that Texas does not recognize same sex unions as legal marriages. But this decree does screw the local taxpayer. Parker ignored the fact that city workers' salaries and benefits are paid by taxpayers. Any legal challenges that will result in this absurd mayoral fiat that will cost the city thousands more to litigate - at taxpayers' expense.
The other problem is that this is purely a cynical political move by the gay Mayor – again with taxpayers footing the bill. Mayor Parker is challenging the position that Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott reflected in his opinion issued earlier this year. The opinion said local governments (and school districts) that offer same-sex domestic partner benefits are violating the Texas state constitution. Abbott, the leading candidate in the Texas Governor's race is unabashedly conservative, and Parker is no doubt confronting Abbott's opinion, hoping for a legal battle.
So far, Mayor Parker's gay agenda has cost the taxpayer thousands, beginning with recruiting her LGBT enviro-acitivist buddy from San Francisco, Laura Spanjian, and creating a new position for her as Director of Sustainability with a salary more than $120,000 per year. Her first public initiative? Put a farmer's market in front of City Hall.
So far Mayor Parker's gay agenda is costing Houston taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

This week's Follow Friday recipient is…
This post was supposed to come out last Friday but with life, it didn't happen. In fact, life can complicate things and then you realize that life took over your life. What I mean is that you may be "living" life but not the way that you planned – it just took over.
I'm Fine, Thanks is a mind blowing documentary made by some extraordinary people (more about them below). I've watched it a few times and totally relate. Life is too short, don't regret not doing anything, and if you have, change it.
There are two quotes that struck me on the side of the head like a 2×4.
I wondered if my caffeine addiction had developed because of the last decade of passionless work
You're climbing the ladder, you get to the top, and realize it's against the wrong wall

Spring is finally here with temperatures expected to reach 60 and possibly even 7o degrees next week! After the winter that New England experienced, homeowners throughout the region are itching to enjoy warmer weather and get some fresh air. After being cooped up all winter, there is no better feeling than stepping outside on the first truly nice day of the season. It is an even better feeling when you can enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of your own home.
This spring and summer, instead of having to find beach traffic or fight for a parking spot, why not enjoy the warmer weather in peace and quiet? Installing a new porch or deck is a great way to enjoy good weather, good food and drink, and each other's company. For many, summer means firing up the grill and having a good time with family and friends. Porches and decks allow you invite neighbors over for a holiday BBQ or dinner party.
Additionally, a new porch or deck will not only add to the aesthetics of your property, but will also increase the value of your home. We have a variety of quality options available to match the look and feel of your home. Porches can be enjoyed nearly all year round, while decks can be utilized well into autumn.
To start enjoying the outdoors right from your home, give Boston Porch and Deck Co. a call or request a free estimate today!

The Problem
Many victims of labor trafficking and exploitation enter the U.S. with temporary, nonimmigrant visas, but find themselves tricked into horrendous working and living conditions. The most frequent visa categories referenced on the National Human Trafficking Hotline and BeFree Textline are the A-3, B-1, G-5, H-2A, H-2B, J-1, and H-1B. These workers are often lured into abusive situations by recruiters who make false promises of lucrative jobs that don't exist, produce fraudulent contracts, or charge exorbitant fees for visa processing or transportation costs.
Temporary work visas are used in a diverse range of industries, including agriculture, landscaping, hospitality, restaurants, and domestic work. Workers believe they have no choice but to continue working for their employer due to mounting debts, fear of deportation, emotional and physical abuse, threats of harm to their families, or isolation from others. Most temporary work visas tie the worker directly to a single employer. As a result, if they leave their jobs, they lose their legal status to work in the United States and are at risk for deportation proceedings.
- 40% of labor trafficking or exploitation cases reference temporary visas*
- 823 victims of reported labor trafficking or exploitation cases held a temporary visa*
- 32% of these victims worked in agriculture*
*Cases reported to the National Hotline and Polaris's BeFree Textline 8/1/2014 - 7/31/2015
The Solution
To ensure that migrants on temporary visas are better protected from the risk of labor trafficking and labor exploitation, Polaris urges support for the following U.S. federal policy recommendations:
- Prohibit the application of recruitment fees to individuals who have obtained a temporary visa.
- Require employers to provide complete and accurate contracts directly to workers in a language the worker understands.
- Require foreign labor recruiters to register with the U.S. government and companies to use registered labor recruiters.
- Ensure that temporary visa holders can change employers without losing their visa status.
Our Work In Action
Polaris is working closely with the Alliance to End Slavery and Trafficking and the International Labor Recruitment Working Group to support federal and state legislative efforts that protect workers on temporary visas from labor trafficking and exploitation.

Player of the Week
Derrick Nix, Michigan State
Nix had a career game last Saturday in a 67-56 win against Texas. The 6-foot-9, 270-pound senior had career bests of 25 points and four steals, and also grabbed 11 rebounds for the Spartans. He pretty much owned Longhorns freshman Cameron Ridley in the post, able to get around him for baby hooks and easy lay-ins. Nix also got to the free-throw line 13 times, making 11 — highlighting his significant improvement from 27.1 percent his freshman year to 70 percent so far this season.
Nix is the Big Ten's second leading rebounder at 7.8 per game and is tied for most defensive boards at 5.7. He's trying to fill the big void left in the post by Draymond Green, who led the Big Ten at 10.6 rebounds per game last season. Nix has had his share of issues in his four seasons, dealing with weight issues and a marijuana arrest this past offseason. But he's lost 70 pounds and coach Tom Izzo named him a team captain this season.
"Nix and I have a love-hate relationship; I love to hate him sometimes," Izzo told reporters after the Texas game. "He gets frustrated with himself sometimes, too. One of the hardest things to do is take criticism. But he has grown up a lot."
Who's Hot
Ryan Evans, Wisconsin
Evans scored a season-high 19 points on 8-for-16 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds against in-state opponent Milwaukee on Saturday. The Big Ten's seventh leading rebounder at 7.0 per game also collected seven boards last Wednesday against Green Bay and also tallied a combined seven assists in both games. The 19 points was well over his season average of 11.3 per game.
Jermaine Marshall, Penn State
Marshall continues to lead Penn State's offensive charge alongside D.J. Newbill. Marshall has scored 15 points or more in seven consecutive games and hit at least one 3-pointer in each of the Nittany Lions' game. Penn State has won three consecutive games, including 72-45 Sunday against New Hampshire, a game in which Marshall scored 15 points in just 24 minutes, hitting 6-of-12 from the field and making five steals. He ranks fourth in the steals category at 2.3 per game and is tied for seventh in scoring with teammate D.J. Newbill at 15.1.
Ray Gallegos, Nebraska
The 6-2 junior shot 9-for-15 and had a career-high 22 points Sunday in 68-52 loss against UTEP. He also tallied 19 on 6-of-12 shooting in an 89-75 win against Central Michigan the previous day, including 11 in the first 4 minutes. Gallegos, a Salt Lake City native, had scored just 20 combined points in the Huskers' three previous games. Gallegos redshirted last season to "add strength and refine his offensive game," according to Nebraska's website. He leads the Big Ten in minutes played at 35.8 per game and ranks fourth in the conference in 3-pointers per game (2.5), but has made just 34.1 percent.
Who's Cold
Lenzelle Smith Jr., Ohio State
Smith has made just one of his last 12 3-point shots and is a combined 8-for-24 from the field in the Buckeyes' past two games. Smith had just six points, going 0-for-7 from long range in a 74-66 loss against Kansas on Saturday. He also committed four fouls and finished just 3-of-13 overall from the field.
Aaron Craft, Ohio State
Craft continues to struggle with his shot. He's shooting just 36 percent from the field, a marked decrease from his 50 percent mark last season. He's also hit just 33.3 percent of his 3-point attempts, which is down 2.6 percent from last year. Craft hasn't scored in double figures since a Nov. 28 loss against Duke, a string of six consecutive games. That's the longest span for Craft since Nov. 30 to Dec. 21, 2010 – his freshman year. He scored in single digits in five straight games last year, including one Big Ten game, but went on to score in double figures in 10 of 21 games.
On Saturday against Kansas, Craft played 37 minutes and scored just seven points, going 2-of-9 from the field and 2-of-6 from 3-point range. He also committed four turnovers to just three assists, and picked up four fouls. Craft still ranks third in assists per game in the Big Ten at 4.6 alongside teammate Shannon Scott, and fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio. But his shooting slump could cost Ohio State down the line if it continues long into Big Ten play.
D.J. Richardson, Illinois
Richardson continues to be mired in a terrible shooting slump of his own. He's scored well below his season average (11.2 points per game) in the last two games (five points against Eastern Kentucky, seven against Missouri), going a combined 4-of-18 from field and 2-of-14 from 3. His 35.7 percent field goal percentage is no wonder considering 75.4 percent of his shots have been 3-pointers thus far. This compares to a 60.7 percent mark last year.
His offensive production has also dipped a bit – he hasn't scored more than 16 points this season, something he had done six times by the new year last season. He also has shot higher than 50 percent in just one game so far – a 4-of-7 effort Dec. 11 against Norfolk State. After shooting just 1-of-9 from 3 Saturday against Missouri, Richardson saw his 3-point total in Braggin' Rights games fall to 3-for-24 in his career. Coach John Groce wants an up-tempo, shoot-the-3 mentality, but sometimes Richardson takes it too far. He'd be well served to slow it down and use his athleticism to get to the hoop a lot more.
Top five Big Ten openers (All times Eastern)
Michigan State at Minnesota, 2 p.m. Monday
No. 11 Minnesota (12-1) could get a statement win in its opener by knocking off No. 19 Michigan State (11-2). This is the season the Gophers need to get it done, and this is the way you set the tone for a successful run in the Big Ten. The Gophers have a balanced scoring attack, as four starters average double figures led by Rodney Williams (13.0). The backcourt tandem of Gary Harris (12.4 ppg) and Keith Appling (14.9 ppg) look to slow Andre Hollins and Austin Hollins. How Derrick Nix plays coming off a career day vs. Texas could make the difference down low against Trevor Mbakwe, though.
Indiana at Iowa, 4 p.m. Monday
No. 5 Indiana hasn't won a Big Ten opener on the road since beating Iowa 79-76 on Jan. 2, 2008. Coach Tom Crean still hasn't won one, so you'd bet he wants this one bad. It'll be a tough go against a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena and 11-2 Iowa, though. The Hoosiers lost there last season five games after shellacking the Hawkeyes 103-89 at Assembly Hall.
Michigan at Northwestern, 7 p.m. Thursday
Northwestern (9-4) hasn't won a Big Ten opener since Jan. 4, 2006, though the Wildcats did beat Penn State to win their home opener last season. Michigan (12-0) has lost three of its past four Big Ten openers and looks to establish its place as a conference title contender early and often. Four starters average double figures for the Wolverines, led by Trey Burke's 17.4 ppg. Reggie Hearn, Dave Sobolewski and Jared Swopshire carry the majority of the scoring load now in the absence of the injured Drew Crawford.
Illinois at Purdue, 8:30 p.m. Wednesday
Illinois has lost seven straight games against Purdue, and hasn't won in West Lafayette since Dec. 30, 2008. But with the Boilermakers having what seems to be a rebuilding year, that could change. The No. 12 Illini (12-1) have looked great at times, but have slowed down recently because of some backcourt shooting woes. Brandon Paul, the Big Ten's second leading scorer at 19.2 ppg, should be able to handle Purdue freshman Ronnie Thomas at the point.
Nebraska at Ohio State, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
It was between this game and Penn State-Wisconsin (8:30 p.m. Thursday) for the final spot, but this won out simply because it will be entertaining. Deshaun Thomas, the conference's leading scorer at 20.0 points per game, likely will be able to score at will against an athletically-challenged Nebraska team.
Big Ten teams were 115-31 (.787) through Friday. No. 2 Michigan (12-0) is the lone unbeaten.
Michigan State sophomore Brandan Kearney announced his intentions to transfer from the program, citing a desire to be more involved in the offense. Kearney, a 6-foot-5 Detroit native, was averaging just 2.3 points per game in 16.9 minutes this season for the Spartans. He had just just 11-of-37 (.297) from the field.
Indiana continues to lead the nation in scoring by a wide margin, averaging 89.3 points per game after dismantling Jacksonville 93-59 on Friday night. The next closest is Northwestern State at 86.3, then Northern Carolina at 84.0. The next closest Big Ten team is Michigan at 79.4.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
(sent.) Shiloach (Isaiah 8:6). Siloah (Nehemiah 3:15). Siloam (John 9:11). Siloam is one of the few undisputed localities in the topography of Jerusalem; still retaining its old name (with Arabic modification, Silwan) while every other pool has lost its Bible designation. This is the more remarkable as it is a mere suburban tank of no great size, and for many an age not particularly good or plentiful in its waters, though Josephus tells us that in his day they were both "sweet and abundant." A little way below the Jewish burying‐ground, but on the opposite side of the valley, where the Kedron turns slightly westward and widens itself considerable, is the fountain of the Virgin, or Um'ed'Deraj, near the beginning of that saddle‐shaped projection of the temple hill supposed to be the Ophel of The Bible and the Ophlas of Josephus. At the back part of this fountain a subterraneous passage begins, through which the water flows, and through which a man may make his way, sometimes walking erect, sometimes stooping, sometimes kneeling, and sometime crawling, to Siloam. This conduit is 1,708 feet long, 16 feet high at the entrance, but only 16 inches at its narrowest tributaries which sent their waters down from the city pools or temple wells to swell Siloam. It enters Siloam at the northwest angle; or rather enters a small rock‐cut chamber which forms the vestibule of Siloam, about five or six feet broad. To this you descend by a few rude steps, under which the water pours itself into the main pool. This pool is oblong, about 52 feet long, 18 feet broad and 19 feet deep; but it is never filled, the water either passing directly through or being maintained at a depth of three or four feet. The present pool is a ruin, with no moss or ivy to make it romantic; its sides fallen in; its pillars broken; its stair a fragment; its walls giving way; the edge of every stone was round or sharp by time; in some parts mere debris, though around its edges wild flowers, and among other plants the caper trees, grow luxuriantly. The present pool is not the original building; it may be the work of crusaders, perhaps even improved by Saladin, whose affection for wells and pools led him to care for all these things. Yet the spot is the same. This pool, which we may call the second, seems anciently to have poured its waters into a third before it proceeded to water the royal gardens. This third is perhaps that which Josephus calls "Solomon's pool," and which Nehemiah calls the "king's pool." (Nehemiah 2:14). The expression in Isaiah 8:6 "waters of Shiloah that go softly," seems to point to the slender rivulet, flowing gently though once very profusely out of Siloam into the lower breadth of level where the king's gardens, or royal paradise, stood, and which is still the greenest spot about the holy city. Siloam is a mere spot even to the Moslem; much more to the Jew. It was to Siloam that the Levite was sent with the golden pitcher on the "last and great day of the feast" of Tabernacles; it was from Siloam that he brought the water which was then poured over the sacrifice, in memory of the water from the rock of Rephidim; and it was to this Siloam water that the Lord pointed when he stood in the temple on that day and cried, "If any man thirst let him come unto me and drink." The Lord sent the blind man to wash, not in, as our version has it, but at (eis) the pool of siloam; for it was the clay from his eyes that was to be washed off.

Make a 3-Tier Cheese Ball Tower for Your Holiday Table + Win Visa Gift Cards!Monday, December 3, 2018
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #Kaukauna100
This is a great recipe to make for a holiday table if you can never choose which cheese ball to serve or if you have cheese-loving guests (and seriously, who doesn't love cheese!)
For my tiers, I'm using sharp cheddar covered in chopped pecans on the bottom, port wine cheddar covered in chopped, dried cherries in the center, and smoky bacon cheddar covered in chopped almonds for the top. You can really use any flavor of cheese covered in any kind of nut or dried fruit you like. The possibilities are drool-worthy!
I'm using cheese balls from Kaukauna® because they're my favorite and they're the pre-made cheese balls my mom and grandma loved, too. This is their 100-year anniversary, so they've been everybody's favorite spreadable cheese for a long time, now!
This is a big year for Kaukauna®. They're celebrating 100 years + they're launching an updated recipe for two varieties with no artificial colors, preservatives or other ingredients. You won't be able to taste the difference; It's still the real Wisconsin cheese you love, but simpler. Look for the 'No Artificial Anything' varieties right now (Sharp Cheddar and Port Wine) and look for the new recipe to extend to the whole line in the future!
To celebrate, they're giving away some pretty awesome prizes in the #Kaukauna100 Sweepstakes! Enter here every day for your chance to win a prize package of a vintage Kaukauna® crock + a Visa Gift Card from $50-$100 in value or the Grand Prize of a $500 Visa Gift Card! Full details at the bottom of this post.
Plus, just in time for the holidays, stock up for your holiday get-togethers with this Ibotta deal.
From 11/12/18 through 12/31/18, earn $0.75 through the Ibotta app when you buy Kaukauna® Cheese Balls, Logs, or Cups! Find out how here, then make this fun holiday cheese tower!
For my 3-tier cake shape, I'm using 3 sizes of containers. You can use anything in the kitchen with a round shape or you can even shape it with your hands; No mold required!
3-Tier Cheese Ball Tower
Source: Southern Mom Loves
- 3 Kaukauna® Cheese Balls in Sharp Cheddar, Port Wine, and Smoky Bacon
- 6 oz. bag of sliced almonds
- 2.25 oz. bag of chopped pecans
- 6 oz. bag of dried cherries
- plastic wrap
1. First, let's shape the bottom layer. Place the cheese ball on a square of plastic wrap. You can either mold it into a flat-topped cylinder shape with your hands or use a mold approximately 3" in diameter.
Tip: You will want to work the ball layers a bit with your hands to expose the cheese so that the toppings will stick!
To use a mold: pull up the corners of the wrap to loosely cover the cheese, use your hands to make the cheese ball slimmer than your mold, slide it into the mold, and push the cheese down to fill it.
2. For the middle layer, cut off the bottom third of the cheese ball. Save it to make cheese pinecones or have yourself a snack. :)
Repeat the steps above to shape it into your middle layer.
3. For the top layer, cut off the bottom half of the last cheese ball. Repeat the steps above to shape it into your top layer.
4. (optional) To make the cheese ball pinecones, use the cheese you cut off of your tower layers. Cut the slices into portions that correspond with your desired pinecone sizes. I'm using all of the leftover port wine cheese to make 2 large pinecones and using 1 slice of the smoky bacon cheese shown below to make 3 tiny pinecones.
Shape your cheese into a cone shape. Using the whole almond slices, insert them into the cheese from the thinner side of the cone, down, in overlapping rows. Loosely wrap in plastic wrap to help them hold their shape while they chill. Refrigerate.
5. Chop up the dried cherries and the remainder of the almond slices and place each topping in a bowl, along with the chopped pecans. Let's get rolling!
6. Roll the sides and top of each layer in a different topping, leaving the bottom bare so that it will stick.
7. Stack them up from largest to smallest and you're all done! You can serve this immediately or to make it ahead, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Decorate your cheese plate with those cute cheese ball pinecones, set out your crackers, and you've got a unique centerpiece for your holiday table that everyone will love.
What do you think of my Cheese Tower?! Which flavors would you use in your tower? Any fun holiday parties planned? I love to read your comments!
