The hard boiled egg seemed to sink and turn at times. My guess is because it is more dense and the bubbling caused it to move.
The raw egg seemed to float probably because it is composed of just liquid. C observed that the raw egg got bigger too. Later I read that the raw egg absorbs the vinegar which makes it bigger.
We observed the shell was coming off by the next day. With a white egg it would be more difficult to tell unless you touched the egg.
The next step was to rinse the eggs in cold water to remove any shell and then bounce them. After two days we observed the eggs to have totally lost their shell and both seemed to look soft and rubbery. It did seem to be bouncy, but not extremely bouncy so we left the egg in the vinegar (maybe it needed more time?) You'll never guess what happened to the raw egg.....
I decided to let it bounce on the counter and it did a couple times.....then OH NO!!!! SPLAT! The egg broke open. I though to myself.....WHAT DID I DO WRONG??? Then later I read here that the raw egg only has a thin membrane (the stuff to the left of the egg) holding it together.....that makes sense now. The directions I was following here did not say anything about this happening....it just said it would bounce.
Here you can see that it is flexible because of the membrane. The membrane thickens with the vinegar and holds the raw egg together.
The Naked raw egg bounces, but don't bounce too high or too hard or you'll have an egg splatted on the counter top.
Here is the naked raw egg and a hard boiled bouncy egg. We added blue to the vinegar for the second time we did the bouncy egg. Both eggs did bounce because of the membrane around the egg. We noticed the raw naked egg was much larger than the hard boiled bouncy egg. The reason the raw egg is larger is because the egg absorbed some of the vinegar.
This was quite an experiment and we learned a lot. I hope I have given you some tips so that your experiment is successful.

A four year-old boy bid £500 for - and won - a bookplate signed by JK Rowling - while playing with his dad's iPhone.
His father, James Hinton, 30, had been browsing eBay for signed books, when a call of nature intervened. He put his phone down on the sofa, and went to the toilet. Thirty seconds later, he returned to find his son Benji had pressed the "Buy it Now" option and that the auction had ended.
"I asked him what he had done and he said, 'Pressed some buttons, Daddy'," Hinton told The Sun. "I could have died — it meant I was committed to paying £500 for something I didn't want. And Benji doesn't even like Harry Potter!"
Hinton, from Newbury, Berks, has emailed the seller, to ask for mercy.
Children, huh!
Benji's dad was naive, rather than stupid. The same perhaps cannot be said for the people who recently paid up to $399 for an iPhone games app, called "Zits and Giggles", priced originally at 99c.
The self-gougers were unwitting participants in a fascinating experiment conducted by two games developers, to "basically to prove the App Store is kind of shit for most things".
So how did they get on? Rather well, as this story, from the website FingerGaming, shows.
Following the publicity, Apple has removed Zits and Giggles from the App Store.

Allyson Felix knows a thing or two about opening up a big lead on the competition.
She won her sixth Olympic gold medal on Saturday night, giving her two more than any other woman in track and field history.
Felix ran away from the field on the anchor leg to lead the United States to its sixth straight victory in the 4x400 meter relay Saturday night in Rio.
U.S. & World
The win in an event the USA has dominated for decades came shortly after a surprise in one the U.S. hadn't won in more than a century — Matthew Centrowitz's surprise gold in the 1,500.
In Felix's race, Jamaica's Novlene Williams-Mills got up on her shoulder coming into the final stretch. But the most decorated woman in Olympic track and field history put her away, increasing the gap on the way to finish in three minutes, 19.06 seconds.
Jamaica was more than a second back for silver in 3:20.34 and Britain got bronze in 3:25.88.
American women have won this event six Olympics in a row. Since women first ran this in 1972, the only countries to win it have been the Soviet Union, East Germany and, in 1992, the Unified Team of former Soviet athletes.
Meanwhile, the U.S. had a medal drought longer than the very existence of the Soviet Union that came to an end in the men's 1,500 meters. Centrowitz won in 3:50.00 for the first U.S. title in the event since 1908.
Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria won silver 0.11 seconds behind Centrowitz and Nicholas Willis of New Zealand was third.
"My goal was just to get on the podium, I didn't dream, ever dream, of winning," said Centrowitz, who finished fourth in London in 2012.
Mo Farah won the 5,000 meters to take the distance double for the second Olympics, matching Lasse Viren of Finland.
American Paul Chelimo got a silver medal, after he was briefly disqualified, apparently for stepping on the inner boundary of the track, left exposed for field events. He was reinstated shortly afterward.
Hagos Girbhiwet of Ethiopia got bronze. He made a move on Farah with a lap to go, but couldn't outkick one of running's best finishers. US teammate Bernard Lagat was fifth.
Earlier in the Olympics, Farah won the 10,000-meter race, falling and getting up to win as Viren did in 1972.
The United States won the 4x400 men's relay, a day after the 4x100 relay team lost a bronze medal when it was disqualified after the race. Jamaica anchor Javon Francis ran a strong closing leg to lock up silver for his team, while the Bahamas got bronze.
Caster Semenya of South Africa won the women's 800 meters in 1:55.28 to add an Olympic gold medal to the silver she won in London. Burundi's Francine Niyonsaba was second and Kenya's Margarey Wambui was third.
American Kate Grace finished eighth.
In the high jump, the USA's Chaunte Lowe finished fourth. She had the same highest jump as the winners, at 1.97 meters, but her two failures before clearing it cost her the tiebreakers. Spain's Ruth Beita won gold, Bulgaria's Mirela Demireva got silver and Croatia's Blanka Vlasic earned bronze.
There were no Americans in the final of the men's javelin throw.
Felix's six career Olympic golds give her the most of any woman in track and field.

Young returns to Wayland Baptist University
August 8, 2013
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University Executive Director of Advancement Mike Melcher
announced that a familiar face was returning to Wayland. Teresa Young has been named
the new Director of Annual Fund.
Young previously spent 11 years as the Director of Communications before leaving Wayland in August of 2011 for a position with Athletes in Action in Xenia, Ohio.
"We are elated that she found her way back to Wayland," Melcher said. "A little different capacity this time than before, but we are so proud to have her back on the Development Team."
As Director of Annual Fund, Young will be tasked with raising money for Wayland's general fund. The general fund consists of undesignated gifts to the university that help offset operational costs. Undesignated gifts are vital to the operation of any non-profit organization. Wayland uses these funds for things such as dorm maintenance and repair, general operation, technology upgrades and more.
"As a WBU graduate with several generations of alums in my family, I have long appreciated the heritage of Wayland and what it means to so many students," Young said. "I am proud to be able to help Wayland grow and expand her reach for the future."
Young graduated from Wayland with a bachelor's degree in communications in 1994. Upon graduation she worked at the Plainview Daily Herald for two years as a photographer and feature writer. From there, she went to work at the Lubbock Avalanche Journal as a feature writer, where she stayed until joining Wayland in July of 2000.
For the past two years, Young and her husband, Tommy, have worked for the faith-based Athletes in Action organization. Young wrote stories for AIA's communication efforts, including publications and the website. She also directed the social media efforts and worked as a graphic designer and photographer for the organization.
As Director of Communications at Wayland, Young worked directly with the development office, designing promotional pieces for programs such as the annual fund. She earned a master's degree in communications from Texas Tech University in 2003.

Numismatics Museum Central Bank of Jordan
The area of the Central Bank of Jordan Museum exceeds 400 sq
m, and its collections include over 2200 coins. The museum was
officially opened in 1988.
Jordan is an important part of the Arab region and the world.
The political and historical situations affecting it were reflected
on the coins circulated in the country since the introduction
of coinage to the Near East in the 4th century BC.
Special emphasis on:
1. Jordanian coinage throughout
the ages, such as Nabataean coins, of the Decapolis and
the early Islamic Arabiszd coins.
2. Coinage of the Islamic periods
and of the ruling dynasties in the Muslim world, where inscription
replaced the earlier personifications and portraits on the
Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Sassanid coins. The inscriptions
were originally verses from the Holy Qur'an, and within
a century they documented the name of the caliph and date
and place of issue.

The Exhibition of Arab Heritage and Recent Discoveries
The Exhibition of Arab Heritage and Recent Discoveries was opened
in 1992, at the Department of Antiquities in Amman. This exhibition
aims at introducing Jordan to the Arab cultural heritages throughout
the ages, as well as exhibiting recent archaeological discoveries.
On display in the exhibition presently are precious artefacts,
pottery, glass and weapons dating to the Bronze Age and Nabataean
and Roman periods, as well as inscriptions, gold Islamic coins
and the silver Ptolemaic hoard recently discovered at Iraq Al-Amir.
The exhibition also has some Byzantine and early Islamic mosaics
from different regions of the kingdom on display, as well as
replicas of architectural elements from the temples of the Winged
Lions and Qasr Al-Bint in Petra, and the limestone heads of
the water nymphs recently discovered at the Nymphaeum in Amman.
This exhibition is devoted to recent archaeological discoveries
from the excavations carried out by the Department of Antiquities
of Jordan. The exhibits will be transferred to the various Jordanian
museums after the conclusion of their study and publication.
The displays are therefore changed annually.
In addition to the exhibits mentioned above, the present exhibition
includes a collection of Safaitic and Kufic inscriptions from
the area of Mafraq. It is expected that a special exhibition
of ancient Arabic inscriptions be opened featuring Nabataean,
Kufic and other Islamic inscriptions found in the areas of Shbeikah
and Safawi.
Opening Hours : 08:00 – 15:00, closed on Friday & Saturday.

Bud Selig announced today that he will appoint a league representative to oversee "business and the day-to-day operations of the Club," so there's your explanation for Frank McCourt's mingling with the common folk last Thursday.
The Dodgers have been in a bit of a financial pinch ever since Frank and Jamie began their divorce proceedings at the end of the 2009 season — a circus that included Frank writing a public letter to his ex accusing her with "insubordination, non-responsiveness, failure to follow procedures, and inappropriate behavior with regard to a direct subordinate" — and Selig today admitted to "deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers." We've had deep concerns about the male McCourt for a while, and since there's no way Selig will Expo the Dodgers, we expect to see McCourt sell off the team soon. He'll need to, anyway, to pay off his most recent deal with the devil.
The Dodgers host the Braves later tonight. Look for Frank in the left field pavilion.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Have a lovely evening.

My bad.
I never, never come to this wonderful website.
I'm here now 'chasing you down' (sounds awful but I don't mean it to be), as you have disappeared off Facebook.
Are you having computer difficulties? Changing your profile?
I know you were pruning your friends' list there. As we do not interact a lot, it would be quite conceivable you 'defriended' me meaning no ill will.
But it seems quite inconceivable that there would have been any reason that you would have 'blocked' me.
And the total disappearance of a profile would mean either the profile was gone (perhaps temporarily?) or someone blocked me; not just defriended.
So, anyway, dear, please let me know!
I'll check back here in a few days if things don't resolve themselves over at Facebook.
All my best, Flo
Greetings, Chrys! I'd like to invite you to a group where we talk about anything on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D

I was reading through the Redbook today, I want to implement vertex arrays into my program, but the problem is, the Vertex array implementation in the Redbook uses static arrays...
This is no good!
How can I use vertex arrays in my program but keep them dynamic by using an STL container or something similar?
colors and vertices are the names of the static arrays, do I just simply put the name of the vector in for colors and vertices?Code:glColorPointer (3, GL_FLOAT, 0, colors); glVertexPointer (2, GL_INT, 0, vertices);

Wallet drop: World's least honest cities
By Marnie Hunter, CNN • Updated 25th September 2013
View Gallery
16 Pictures
Four continents, 16 cities, 192 "lost" wallets. That's the basic formula for
a recent sticky fingers experiment by Reader's Digest
Reporters from the magazine dropped wallets in parks, on sidewalks and near shopping malls in international cities from New York to Mumbai and waited to see how people would respond. Each wallet contained the equivalent of $50, a cell phone number, business cards, coupons and a family photo.
Bottom line? Nearly half -- 47% -- of the wallets were returned.
"If you find money, you can't assume it belongs to a rich man," said Ursula Smist, who returned one of the five wallets recovered in London. "It might be the last bit of money a mother has to feed her family," said Smist, who is originally from Poland. The other seven wallets dropped in London remain at large.
Can your cell phone bring down a plane?
Of the 102 wallets subjected to the old "finders keepers" rule, one was pocketed by a male Zurich tram driver whose employer runs the city's lost and found office. In Warsaw, five of 12 wallets were returned while the other seven were pocketed by women. The magazine concluded that gender and age are unpredictable when it comes to sussing out honesty.
"The most surprising discovery for the team at Reader's Digest is that honesty is not a relative," said Raimo Moysa, editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest International Magazines. "For all the people who returned wallets, it was the only way to act in such a situation."
" 'It is something you do naturally,' said 30-year-old optician's assistant in Prague when we asked about why she returned the wallet. A 73-year-old grandmother in Rio de Janeiro expressed the same sentiment by saying simply: 'Because it is not mine,' " Moysa wrote in an e-mail response.
Check out the gallery above for a ranking of the most -- and least -- honest cities in North and South America, Asia and Europe.

Warrior Games ends with champions
The U.S. Marine Corps earned its fourth consecutive Chairman's Cup trophy at the fourth annual Warrior Games presented by Deloitte.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Charlie Huebner, chief of Paralympics for the United States Olympic Committee, summed up the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte best when he said: "This week started with a Missy, a Brad, a torch and a prince. It ends with champions."
The fourth annual Warrior Games kicked off Saturday with Navy Lt. and three-time Paralympic medalist Brad Snyder, five-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin and Prince Harry lighting the cauldron, but Thursday night's closing ceremony proved to be a night to celebrate the champions of the past six days. Several hundred athletes, families and friends gathered at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. for the Warrior Games closing ceremony, which was highlighted by two of the Games' most prestigious awards. The Chairman's Cup was awarded to the Marines and the title of Ultimate Champion went to Air Force Capt. Mitchell Kieffer (Newport News, Va.).
The Chairman's Cup is a team award based on each team's top finishes in individual events as well as sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball, the two team sports contested at the Warrior Games. The 2013 Warrior Games consisted of 260 wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans of five U.S. teams (Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force and Special Operations) and the British Armed Forces team competing over six days.
The Marines now have earned the Chairman's Cup at all four Warrior Games. The Marines claimed this year's Chairman's Cup with 100 points, which is attributed to the team's 36 medals in track and field, 34 medals in swimming, 13 medals in shooting, four medals in archery and four medals in cycling, along with gold in sitting volleyball and silver in wheelchair basketball. Army finished second with 85 points, while Navy finished third, Air Force fourth and Special Operations took fifth.
"I think every branch is strong, honestly," said Marines Cpl. Breanna Dill (Oceanside, Calif.). "I just think the Marines winning the Chairman's Cup means we put in a lot of effort and a lot of time, and we put everything into it. That doesn't mean none of the rest of the branches did, but I know my teammates did as well and ultimately we just came out on top."
Last October, Dill was wounded in Camp Pendleton, Calif., when an object hit the left side of her head, cutting her head open and leaving her unconscious for the next three days. When Dill awoke, she no longer had feeling below her knees and learned she had suffered a traumatic brain injury, in addition to swelling of the brain and pressure on her spinal cord.
As Mark Goulart, principal and lead client service provider for Deloitte's Veterans Affairs, stated during the closing ceremony, "The Warrior Games is not the end point, but it's a beginning."
That statement rang true for Dill, who is already looking forward to returning to the competition next year. At her first Warrior Games, Dill earned three medals in the swimming SCI class: gold in 100-meter freestyle and silver in both the 50m freestyle and 50m backstroke.
"I loved the Warrior Games," Dill said. "I can't wait until next year. In (50-meter backstroke) swimming, my competitor and I were really close to each other with time that I can't wait to compete against her again, so that way I can take the gold."
While Dill and her "Semper Fidelis" (Marines' motto, translated to "always faithful") teammates proved to be the strongest team of the competition, the fiercest individual of the Games turned out to be Air Force Capt. Mitchell Kieffer.
Kieffer was crowned Ultimate Champion, a title based on five competitions: 50-meter freestyle in swimming; 10m prone air rifle, shooting; 100m sprint, track; race based on disability category, cycling; and shot put, field. He became the first Air Force athlete in Warrior Games history to earn the title.
"It feels fantastic," Kieffer said. "I couldn't be happier having my family here, too. Ana Cristina and Ana Paula are my biggest fans. They still think I'm Superman, so this should help at least for a couple more years."
Kieffer brought his two daughters, Ana Cristina, 8, and Ana Paula, 13, on stage with him to accept his award. His daughters, along with his mother Robin, had been in Colorado Springs all week to support him. Kieffer's wife, Ana Maria, was only able to make a brief appearance at the competition because of her job, but she flew in on day two and surprised her husband.
"It was the best present having my girls and my mother here," Kieffer said.
This was the first Warrior Games appearance for Kieffer, who suffers a traumatic brain injury and compression fractures in his back from injuries sustained when his convoy was attacked in Baghdad in the final month of his first-ever deployment. En route to becoming the 2013 Ultimate Champion, he earned a silver medal in the 10 meter prone air rifle competition, finished fourth in the men's bicycle open event and the 50m freestyle. In track and field, he finished seventh in the men's 100m and eighth in the shot put. Kieffer already has plans to return next year and improve on his performance. After all, he had such a great time at this year's Games.
"It's almost euphoric just to be connected to so many great people, and I feel everyone is better than myself," he said. "I'm in awe with a lot of my teammates, my coaches and the other service athletes. I don't feel worthy, so it's a very exciting honor just to be here."
The joy and passion these Games brought to all 260 athletes who competed, whether they are first-timers like Cpl. Dill and Capt. Kieffer, or veterans who have competed at every Warrior Games to date, was evident through all six days of competition.
"Millions got to see the importance of sport in the rehabilitation process," Charlie Huebner said at the closing ceremony.
One of the millions was Herschel Walker, winner of the 1982 Heisman Trophy and 1992 Olympic bobsledder. Walker attended several events throughout the week, to meet and support athletes from all six teams. He said he was "totally impressed" with his first Warrior Games experience and wished more people could see the event.
"The Warrior Games is important because it shows they're still soldiers; they're still guys who can get it done, and that's what they did," Walker said. "They did things a lot of people can't do, a lot people are not doing, and that's very important."For more on the 2013 Warrior Games presented by Deloitte, visit teamusa.org/warriorgames/.

Spurs Run Past Mavericks, 100-79The Dallas-San Antonio game on Friday night was a rematch and a preview wrapped in one. Dallas eliminated San Antonio in an epic seven game playoff series last season and the teams will open their 2006-07 seasons by playing each other on Thursday night. Not surprisingly, both teams played it pretty close to the vest on Friday, limiting the minutes of their key players and not revealing any new plays that they may have added to their repertoires. The Spurs emerged with a 100-79 victory, sparked by remarkable 28-37 shooting from the field by guards Tony Parker (9-11), Manu Ginobili (6-8), Brent Barry (4-7), Beno Udrih (5-6) and Jacque Vaughn (4-5). ESPN commentator Hubie Brown said that he had never seen a shooting display like that by an entire backcourt. Parker finished with 20 points, Ginobili scored 16 and newly acquired center Francisco Elson contributed 14 points and nine rebounds off of the bench. Tim Duncan had nine points, six rebounds and two blocked shots while playing only 24 minutes--in fact, no one on either team played more than 25 minutes. Josh Howard led the Mavericks with 15 points and seven rebounds, while Dirk Nowitzki added 13 points and four rebounds.
The early moments of the game provided no indication of the blowout that would ensue. The score was tied 11-11 halfway through the first quarter and Hubie Brown remarked that both teams looked sharp. Brown likes the Mavericks' addition of former Pacers point guard Anthony Johnson: "He knows how to play. That's the best compliment that you can give a pro player." Johnson started but played sparingly, scoring two points. Duncan scored two baskets, one of them as part of a three point play, to give the Spurs a 16-11 lead and San Antonio pushed that advantage to 30-22 by the end of the quarter. Parker got off to a fast start and Brown marvelled at the fact that he ranked third in the league in field goal percentage in 2005-06, a remarkable accomplishment for a small guard who did not have a reliable shot from beyond 10 feet when he entered the league. It is offseason work on one's weaknesses, Brown explained, that separates All-Star and All-NBA players from everyone else in the NBA.
Near the end of the first quarter, Jerry Stackhouse received a technical foul for elbowing Ginobili. Brown said that in the old days when only two officials worked games that such contact might have gone unobserved; he added that the current system of using three referees provides much better court coverage.
Dallas experienced serious problems in transition defense in the second quarter and San Antonio soon built a double digit lead. Brown noted that teams are experimenting with using zone defenses more to compensate for the NBA rules changes that limit defensive contact against perimeter players; using a zone enables a team to funnel driving players into areas where there are multiple defenders. The Mavericks briefly cut the margin below 10 before the Spurs raced to a 59-41 lead. Parker had 18 points on 8-10 field goal shooting in the first half and the Spurs enjoyed a 21-13 rebounding advantage. ESPN showed an interesting graphic during the second quarter: last year Nowitzki became only the third player to shoot at least 90% from the free throw line while averaging at least 26 ppg; the other players are Rick Barry and Larry Bird, who did it twice.
The Mavericks chipped away until they pulled within 62-50 in the third quarter but then Parker hit a floater, Ginobili made a runner and Duncan stole an inbounds pass and scored; Dallas only managed to make one free throw during that flurry and trailed 68-51. Mavericks' Coach Avery Johnson called timeout, one of several that he used at various points in the game to chew out his players, and Dallas responded with four straight points. After that, though, the Spurs went back to simply running the Mavericks out of the gym. Dallas' last highlight was a spectacular D.J. Mbenga block of Elson's two hand dunk attempt with 4.8 seconds left in the quarter. The Spurs retained possession, though, and Matt Bonner banked in a shot off of the inbounds pass, just beating the shot clock buzzer. "It's been that kind of night," Brown said.
Both teams rested their starters in the fourth quarter and various bench players fought for regular season roster spots and playing time.

Florida Today on the Angels
Florida Today, my new local paper, has an article today which suggests the Angels are setting a trend with their style of play.
"You can manufacture runs," [former Florida Marlins manager John] Boles said. "The old Kansas City Royals, they developed a reputation, they were going first to third. You try to stop it. That's what Mike Scioscia does now with the (Los Angeles) Angels. The Angels play a National League-style game. Their kids are taught from the day they sign: 'We're going first to third, we're going from second to home.' That's a style of baseball that, if you have the ability to manufacture runs, you don't have to rely on the home run."
Click Here to read the article.
The photo in both the print and online versions is of Chone Figgins sliding into home plate. Who would have thought that Figgy would make the front page of the Florida Today Sports section? And I bet the author had no idea that Chone's brother Demetrius scouts their customer service area.

Colour blindness is often inherited, and present at birth.
Colour blindness could also be a symptom of other eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts or Macular Degeneration. Diseases like multiple sclerosis and diabetes can also lead to colour deficiency. And changes to the vision that develop with age can affect colour perception.
How to spot it- Sufferers might find it difficult to distinguish between certain colours, for example, reds, oranges, yellows, greens and browns – most commonly, red and green appear the same. Colour-blind people may also struggle to tell the difference between paler and deeper shades.
Colour blindness can affect everyday tasks such as reading a map, re-wiring a plug or knowing when traffic lights have changed. It is therefore vital to be are aware if you are colour blind, to prevent accidents and learn how to manage the problem. The condition is usually identified using an Ishihara test, which consists of numbers inside circles made up of colourful dots.
Treatment- Colour blindness cannot be reversed, but filters on glasses or tinted contact lenses can enhance the ability to distinguish between some colours. Speak to an eye care professional about managing the condition.

Know Your Enemies
My family has been reading through the Psalms together for the past few months, and the other day we read Psalm 83. Reading like a Who's Who of hostility, this psalm lists "Edom and the Ishmaelites", "Moab and the Hagrites," "Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek," "Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre", and "Even Assyria" in the space of a few verses.
In an attempt to give my family a sense of who these various enemies of Israel were, I opened the Accordance Bible Atlas and overlaid the Divided Kingdoms region layer. I clicked the plus icon to magnify that zone so that it filled my entire workspace, and then had one of my children read the list of enemies again. As she read each name, I pointed out its location on the map, so that my family could clearly see that Israel was surrounded by all these nations. I summarized by saying, "You see, it's not that the psalmist is paranoid; they really were all out to get Israel!"
Showing all of these ancient nations naturally raised the question of where these places are today, so I merely switched the region layer pop-up from "Divided Kingdoms" to "Modern Nations" to show that Edom, Moab, and Ammon are now part of modern Jordan, ancient Philistia is now part of modern Israel, and ancient Tyre is in modern Lebanon.
This kind of geographical orientation was incredibly easy to do, and it helped make our discussion of the psalm much more engaging. If you're not using the Atlas as an impromptu teaching tool, you definitely should be!

Updated 10:40 a.m. -- Just as the fiscal-cliff negotiations are drawing to a close, a fresh controversy is brewing in the House of Representatives after Republican leadership decided they will not vote during the 112th Congress on a bill to provide supplemental aid to victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Both Republicans and Democrats lashed out at Republican leadership for what one Republican called a "personal betrayal," after it was decided that the bill would not be considered until the 113th Congress, which convenes at noon Thursday.
"For the Speaker to just walk out is inexcusable," Rep. Peter King (R-NY-Long Island) told reporters. "It's wrong, and I'm saying that as a member of the Republican Party."
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said in a short statement: "The Speaker is committed to getting this bill passed this month."
That assurance was not enough for the members of districts affected by Sandy.
"I feel it is a personal betrayal," Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY-Staten Island) said. "But I think more importantly, when you parse out all the politics, the people of this country that have been devastated are looking at this as a betrayal by the Congress and by the nation, and that is just untenable and unforgivable."
A bipartisan group of eight lawmakers gathered after protesting the move on the House floor after the House vote late Tuesday night to pass a bill to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff." That bill passed 257-167.
The House had originally planned to consider a two-step bill that would start with $27 billion in supplemental aid, but also include an amendment worth an additional $33 billion. The bill had been split to allow conservative Republicans to vote for a base level of additional aid, but not the entire package, which many Republicans said did not entirely go to those affected by Sandy.
The Senate passed a bill on Dec. 28 by a vote of 61-33 that would provide $60.2 billion in additional aid to victims of Superstorm Sandy. During that vote 12 Republicans voted for the measure, but only after a replacement amendment that would have stripped $35 billion from the bill failed to pass.
"It passed the Senate in a bipartisan way," Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) said. "And again, to me, this is a real betrayal, a betrayal of the leadership of the Republican Party."
According to House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), he had been speaking with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) on a regular basis about when the bill would be coming to the floor for a vote.
Cantor, whose office schedules what bills come to the floor and when, told Hoyer that he was "99.9 percent confident" that the bill would be considered after the fiscal-cliff legislation was considered.
"I urge the Speaker to reconsider and bring this bill to the floor," Hoyer said. "Do not walk away from these millions of people; do not walk away from these states that have been damaged."
An aide for Cantor said that the majority leader "is committed to ensuring the urgent needs of New York and New Jersey residents are met, and he has been working tirelessly toward that goal."
But even after these conversations between Cantor and other members of the House, it's unclear why Republican leadership decided not to consider the bill before the 112th Congress came to a close.
FEMA told lawmakers in December they have enough emergency funds to take them through the spring, but the members protesting the change Tuesday night said the supplemental bill includes key funds for programs that go past the emergency phase of the Superstorm Sandy response.
An emotional King went so far Wednesday to urge residents of New York and New Jersey to halt donations to his own party in the House as a result of the chamber's inaction.
"I'm saying right now, anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their minds," he said on Fox News. "Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It was an absolute disgrace."
The House is in session Wednesday, beginning at 10:00 am ET, but according to aides, no legislation is scheduled to be considered. The 112th Congress must adjourn by 11:59 am ET Thursday, so the 113th Congress can gavel in at noon on that day.
Any legislation that passed either the House or Senate has to be re-passed once the new Congress is sworn in.

The commercial grade Honda GX200 OHV engine offers plenty of power to churn through the snow. Starting is easy - even in cold weather.
Automotive-style DC electric key starting makes your snow blower even easier. These models also come standard with recoil pull-start, for back up purposes. Available on the HSS724ATD.
Two-stage snow blowers use a fast spinning impeller in the discharge duct to throw snow faster and farther. The HSS724 has a larger impeller diameter for increased snow removal - offering throwing distances that exceed many competitors.
The combination of Honda 's GX series engine, optimized impeller pulley, and 90 degree impeller wing dramatically optimizes Honda's HSS series snow throwing capacity.
The HSS724 can handle large snowfalls with ease.
Dual track drive provides exceptional traction through most snow conditions. Pliable, low temperature rubber tracks with sure-gripping cleats, providing solid traction and ideal balance. Perfect for complete control on inclines, rough or uneven ground, and icy conditions. Provides a stable platform for attacking hard packed snow and ice.
The all-new auger height control lever allows you to easily adjust auger housing height with just the press of a thumb. Variable positions let you choose the best height for different surface conditions. Raise the auger for uneven clearing surfaces. Or lower the auger to clear down to the pavement or cut through hard packed snow - without riding up on the snow being removed. The auger height control gives you the ability to match the snow blower to your needs.
Control of forward and reverse speed is simplicity itself with Honda's hydrostatic transmission. Just move the lever forward or backward to go in the direction you want, at the speed you want. Infinitely variable speed means it's easy to pick a speed to match your snow conditions and personal preference. There's no shifting, and the ground speed doesn't affect the auger rotation speed. It's easy to control, and virtually maintenance free.
The all-new electric 4-direction joystick chute control lets you reposition the chute on the go. With up to 198 degrees of rotation, the joystick chute control allows you to clear snow faster and more efficiently.
Left and right control levers provide easy and intuitive steering control. The steering control levers also provide easy movement and transport, even with the engine off. Just pull and hold both levers for neutral, then easily roll the snow blower.
The HSS724 offers ergonomically-designed controls for operator convenience and safety. Controls are conveniently laid out and easy to reach.
Honda's snow blowers are equipped with ice breaking, heavy-duty, serrated augers. To enhance performance and durability, the auger shaft is bearing supported.
The HSS724's auger drive shaft and impeller blower are protected by easily replaceable offset shear bolts. Should the auger engage a solid object, the shear bolt will break to prevent auger or impeller shaft damage.
Honda's addition of a pneumatic gas strut to the auger height control system gives the user smooth and accurate auger housing adjustment.
One hand drive control allows you to easily adjust snow direction and distance with the chute controls.
The throttle control lever provides manual control of the engine speed.
A powerful built-in LED work light makes the HSS724 easy to use, even in the dark. Provides exceptional lighting and high visibility in all conditions. The LED light offers performance and a lifespan that competitors' incandescent bulbs can't touch.
Reversible, heavy-duty skid shoes provide twice the wear of regular skid shoes.
The articulated discharge chute offers precise direction and distance control of snow.
Enjoy Honda durability with automotive-grade steel side auger housing and discharge chute.
The HSS724 offers a large, easy to fill gas tank with a built in fuel gauge and a glove-friendly gas cap.
Conveniently located clearing tool in the unlikely event the chute becomes obstructed with slushy wet snow or ice.
You can rest easy, knowing your snow blower is covered from top to bottom for 3 full years.

(Justmeans/3BL Media) - As I sat at my desk trying to find a suitable subject for the 44th annual Earth Day, I scoured my Twitter feed and my inbox looking for the story that would capture the essence of where we stand right now in our battle to save the planet. While there is plenty of interesting news coming out every day, it is so strongly divided into good news and bad news, that there is no way that one story can possibly sum it all up.
Take the IPCC, for example. Earlier this month, Working Group II, responsible for studying the impacts of climate change issued a frightening report that was hard to view as anything other than a call to action. The impacts are already occurring, chain reactions have been set in motion, and we can expect things to get quite bad, especially if we donât begin to substantially escalate our efforts to curb emissions. IPCC chairman Rajendra K. Pachauri, said. ânobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change.â This will be particularly true for those most vulnerable, including low-lying and poorer countries, as well as the poorest residents of all countries. But the same report (which still is yet to be officially published) also said that the economic cost of a 2.5 degrees Celsius rise is going to be somewhere between 0.2 and 2.0% of the global GDP, far less than expected. That might be considered good news, though it might also encourage politicians to defer action on the bad news contained in the report.
Then there is the question of natural gas. There can be no doubt that the large-scale replacement of coal with natural gas for electric generation purposes, accelerated by the drop in natural gas prices, has led to a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions. Coal has been the largest source of carbon pollution, and natural gas emits only half as much carbon. Unfortunately, this boom in natural gas production has come to us via hydraulic fracking, a method that is fraught with problems of its own, ranging from earthquakes, to sizable methane releases (methane is twenty times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas), to contamination of drinking water. These concerns are substantial enough for the National Renewable Energy Lab to declare natural gas less climate-friendly than diesel fuel, though still better than coal. Producers are also pressing to increase natural gas exports, which is not only bad for the environment, but will also raise gas prices here in the US.

my comp has been struck with a virus that I cannot afford to have fixed right now so I have to use my daughters comp and I will have limited access to it cause she needs it for school and things. Sooooo anyway it may be a while before I can upload anymore videos to youtube. As soon as it is fixed I will add a new video tho.
Re: Videos
I hate viruses i think this computer has something wrong with it cause its sure is slow enough anyway thanks for telling us It happens.
I <3 Jim Carrey
Re: Videos
that's cool Cotton, you upload so much anyway.....your comp just needs a wee rest....lol
Re: Videos
It's ok Cotton. We get it.
This may help fix the virus: There a program called "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" that has actually save me from virus a couple of times.
Download the free version and install it.
It's ok, it's save. It may ask for updates but it's normal.
Run the program and let him check the virus. (if you need a tutorial. I can make one)
After it's done you will be able to erase them all and hopefull cure your computer without spending to much money.
I have to say though that even though I have no complains when it comes to this program it may be that it won't work. But then again all the anti-virus have problems and there's always one virus they can't find.
But is worth the shot, trust me.

Lacking 'It'
December 30, 2012 9 Comments
It is official. Tony Romo is the ultimate tease.
He has the entire package, plays for the flashiest of flashy teams yet falls short of sealing the deal.
For his entire career, Tony Romo has dealt with the same old, same old – he can't perform in the clutch. For a long time, a lot of the criticism that went Romo's way seemed a bit too much. What is always hard for Romo is that because he dates Jessica Simpson, plays for Jerry Jones and likes to smile, people want him to fail.
Whether it is justified or not, like Lebron James in his first two seasons with Miami, fans and analysts will nitpick at anything they can find for a player they may dislike. Unlike Lebron, the disdain people have for Tony Romo the man, not the player, feels unjustified.
It is not easy being a Romo defender. I know because I've been doing it for quite a while now. As hot as he can get, his play will make you shiver more often than it should. I wouldn't go as far to say that Tony Romo has the choke gene.
Rather, it is more that he doesn't have the clutch gene.
Too frequently is the term clutch or choke thrust on a player. Most guys are probably somewhere in the middle while the odds of their big game circumstances have simply gone either in their favour or against them, prompting them to be labelled clutch or a choker.
Over the last two December's, prior to last night's game against the Redskins, Tony Romo had thrown 20 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. A choker doesn't have the ability to bring his team from the depths of despair in big moments as often as Romo has. Even though his January record is virtually non-existent, he hasn't faltered in some of the tougher situations throughout his career.
The thing is, it is as if it is in Romo's DNA to make huge mistakes at huge moments.
Tony Romo had another John Elway type of opportunity on Sunday night with all eyes on him. Down 3 points, on his own 15 yard line, 3 minutes to go and a touchdown likely being enough put his team into the playoffs.
Simple, right?
Anyone can muff a hold on a field goal or throw a costly interception. But Tony Romo is a quarterback who, time after time, has let his team down with the kind of blunder that it is almost fitting for number 9.
That isn't to say that Tony Romo can't win a few playoff games or have one of those career defining drives in a championship game. If Romo ever does have a career defining drive, play or game, that moment should never be something that transforms his imperfect legacy into something that it does not deserve to be.
To a lesser degree, Peyton Manning lacks 'it'. He doesn't have what his brother has proven to have. Peyton won a Super Bowl MVP but it wasn't a stellar performance by any means. Peyton Manning has become arguably the greatest quarterback of his generation not through his ability to be his best when everything is on the line but through his immense talent and smarts.
Tony Romo doesn't have Peyton's talent or smarts. Nevertheless, he can and has come up big in big situations because he has the elite talent that allows him to do spectacular things. However, he isn't so good that he doesn't suffer from a recurring case of major gaffe-itis.
Romo made the poorest of poor reads to give Rob Jackson a season killing interception. Despite the timing of the miscalculated floater, the interception wasn't due to Tony Romo's choking. That play was a microcosm of his career as Romo is a player who doesn't have the capability to consistently step up when the stakes are highest.
It isn't choke or clutch. It is who Tony Romo is.
Lebron James overcame his perceived choking propensity last season. There is nothing to say that Tony Romo can't do the same.
What will never change with Tony Romo is that he doesn't have what every athlete wished they had or chooses to believe they have.

Look Out, It's Time to Clean House!
By Angie Patrick
Maybe I am channeling my inner Martha Stewart, or maybe I am just inspired since I saw some semi-icky stuff during a massage recently, but I believe we can all use a checklist to make sure our business, practice, massage room and equipment are up to par and ready for Spring. Here are a few things you can do to help get ready and be out with the old winter grunge and in with the fresh spring air!
1: I know it is hard to remember that people on a massage table can see under your counters or under your side tables…The fact is, this perspective on your practice is often overlooked by massage therapists and employees. You would not believe some of the yuk that can accrue under there like dust bunnies with fangs, cobwebs that look like they were made by a tarantula, and bits of paper and candy wrappers that have missed the broom a few times because they are "JUST" out of reach.
If your client returns week after week, and sees this kind of thing going unchecked, they "MAY" have the impression the entire facility isn't clean. While it may not be true, does that really matter if the client does not return? Will it help if they tell five people they know your massage practice is dirty? Nope….! So take a moment, get on your massage table, face up, side lying, and face down. What do you see? If you see UNDER SOMETHING, be sure to keep it CLEAN!
2: Check Expiration Dates on all things that can expire. Be sure to check your retail shelves as well as your back bar for anything that may be going out soon. If you have something about to expire, run a special or sale on a treatment requiring that product. If your pale of sugar scrub has a bit left in it, but expires in 2 months, then run a special on sugar scrubs to be sure you get the most for your money!
3: Linen Inspection. "Oh Angie, lighten up… My sheets are FINE! " Hmmm…..I would not be so hasty! When was the last time you put your massage sheets on a table and got between them? Are they pilling, do they smell or feel scratchy? Are they frayed in any way? Is there an oil stain you have simply stopped seeing, but fresh eyes could pick out in a lineup? Check these things out! Massage sheets are not meant to last forever. In fact, we are in one of the only professions that can really consider sheets a disposable. So take a moment to go through your linens, make sure they smell fresh and are unstained, and are in good working order. Replace sets that have passed their prime. < C'mon, do the math…… let's say 20 bucks a set, divided by a client a day for two years? Yeah, it's time to retire them or re purpose them! They have provided you great value!>
