Ok, so here's my "blogger's apparently obligatory explanation" for my week-long absence to all (six) of you who have stumbled upon the Rocky Mountain Oyster since I started it last month. Six might be overdoing it.
I'm not dead (although I feel like it), and I haven't left the country, gone into the witness protection program, or both. I've just been burning the midnight oil trying to get my most recent update ready for the web.
Typically it takes me a month to unveil sixty new items. This update features nearly one hundred twenty - and I was finished in twelve days! So now you know how I've been spending my mornings and evenings - and everything in between. Once my brain recovers, I'll get back to being pseudo-clever (hey, there's a good start)!
The American Indian College Fund is the largest fund raising organization for Native American students in the world. They provide scholastic opportunities and introductions to meaningful career options for young men and women who might otherwise experience barriers-to-entry in an educational landscape most of us take for granted. I have met some of the administrators, and I know a few of the beneficiaries. This is one program worth supporting.
Of course their support reaches beyond scholarships and tribal colleges, but they encourage students to "stay on the rez," where they can learn within a cultural context and apply their knowledge and skills to real-life challenges facing their own communities.
A 14-foot-long Airstream, which was completely refurbished by Ralph Lauren, is one of four unique theme trailers previously auctioned for charity on the polo.com website. Under a pine ceiling stands a pullout peeled-log dining table. The floor is made from salvaged barnwood.
Now that's what I call "roughing it!" Seriously though, this one room has more panache than most of the so-called luxury homes I've seen. Ok, well maybe not, but in terms of PSF (per square footage), RL wins hands down.
What's in a name? (Taken from the Wikipedia entry for Caleb)
Caleb (Hebrew ??????; Tiberian vocalization: K?l??; Hebrew Academy: Kalev), the son of Jephunneh, is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrew nation refused to enter the "promised land" of Canaan.
When the Hebrews came to the outskirts of Canaan, the land that had been promised them by God, after having fled slavery in Egypt, Moses (the Hebrew leader) sent twelve scouts (or spies, meraglim in Hebrew) into Canaan to report on what was there?one spy representing each of the twelve (landed) tribes. Ten of the scouts returned to say that the land would be impossible to claim, and that giants lived there who would crush the Hebrew army. Only two, Joshua (from the tribe of Ephraim) and Caleb (representing Judah), returned and said that God would be able to deliver Canaan into the hands of the Hebrew nation.
The Bible records that, because of the testimony of the ten scouts, the Hebrews chose not to enter Canaan: for this disobedience, God caused them to wander in the desert for forty years before being allowed to enter Canaan and conquer it as their home. The only adult Hebrews allowed to survive these forty years and enter Canaan were Joshua and Caleb, as a reward for their faith in God. This is recorded in the Book of Numbers.
Caleb's name is spelled with the same consonants as ??????? kéle? meaning "dog", prompting the common conclusion that the name Caleb means "dog". However, this is not clear. 1 Samuel 25:3 states that Nabal, the husband of Abigail before David, was of the house of Caleb. In Hebrew, the word used for this reference is ????????? K?libbî, and the presence of the -î suffix exposes the double consonant indicating two ? radicals fused together. The Hebrew word ??? l??, meaning "heart", has the same stem form ???? libb-. If ??? k?- is to be understood as the preposition k?- meaning "as; like", and the vowel as the pretone syllable promoted to ?, then the name ?????? K?l?? could also be understood to mean "as the heart".
Indeed, a more flowery form of the word for "heart" is ????? l????, where the two ? radicals are not fused but separated by a vowel. Biblical text uses the flowery expression ???????? k?l???? "as the heart" and ???????? kil?a? "as the heart of", and there is also the modern expression ?????????? k'l'vavi "after my own heart".
