Monster High Dolls are a far departure from Mattel's former blond baby, Barbie. Draculaura, Claudeen Wolf, Cleo de Nille and Lagoona Blue are not what you would imagine your diminutive girl or your youthful daughter would fancy for a toy or collectible item. But the toy maker Mattel, Inc., notable for its Barbie line of fashionable dolls bravely gambled and came out with this line of ghoulish but still fashionable dolls, with some related items like their equally ghoulish pets, bags, brush, doll stand and diaries, recently and it seems to have the very same impact Barbie had when she was "born". The Monster High Dolls line was launched middle of last year with the attendant marketing task Mattel, Inc. Is known for, a fashion line with a notable chain stores, a series of books, YouTube channel, even a movie and music video in the works and its very own website.
Monster High Dolls are supposed to be off springs of very notable grisly and nightmare movie characters.
Draculaura, Claudeen Wolf, Cleo de Nille, Lagoona Blue, Frankie Stein, are daughters of Dracula, Werewolf, The Mummy, Sea Monster and Frankenstein respectively. Deuce Gorgon, Cleo de Nille's beau and the only male character, is the son of Medusa. They all capitalize on the prominence and legendary credit of their infamous and scary parents and are distinguishable from each other because of their own single weird imperfection, favorite color, favorite food, and pet hate. Monster High Dolls are available in two varieties, the Barbie style doll and the plush stuffed type.
These cool dolls are all teenagers; Frankie Stein and Lagoona Blue are both 15 yrs old while Deuce Gorgon is 16. But Cleo de Nille is 5,842 and Clawdeen Wolf is 1,599 yrs old (remember who their parents are) but both look incredibly youthful and stylish. These hip monster high dolls are easy to dress up and pose because their elbows, legs and wrists are fully-articulated, and must-have collectors' items. They sport the trendiest styles in clothes and accessories and inspired by the current craze for the weird, the spine-chilling and eerie themes in movies, books and even television programs and series.

I write a quite a bit of prose, in general short stories. A lot of them, but not all aimed at children. But poetry is a distinct matter, while I liked to read and listen to all sorts of poetry. I had always avoided trying to write it, in general because I hadn't a clue how to go about it (still haven't).
Despite my misgivings, other members of the writing group that I attend, persuaded me to give it a try and like a fool I agreed, knowing full well that I could not meet their exacting standards. Not to worry I thought, I could only do my best, even if it turned out to be rubbish. Unable to get to grips with formal sonnets, I decided to try my hand at free verse. But when the waste bin overflowed, I gave it up as a bad job and decided to clear the carport instead.
Which turned out to be a good idea, because I came across one of Katie's old toys, a fuzzy, one eyed monster from, "MonstersInc" I think his name was Michael? Anyway it started me writing and the effect is below.
Can't Find Him Anywhere.
I cannot find my Monster; I can't find him anywhere.
Last time that I saw him he was in the big armchair.
I only went to the kitchen to butter us both a scone.
When I returned, he wasn't there; I wonder where he's gone.
.
Have you seen my Monster? He's really, admittedly tall.
You'll know him if you see him, he's like a fluffy ball.
I've looked in any place in all the places I could think.
I've even searched the cupboard, under the kitchen sink.
.
If he comes toward you, while walking down the lane
Though he's big and strong and can be an awful pain.
He's admittedly just a pussycat and wouldn't harm a fly.
So don't get all worried; he'll never make you cry.
.
If you find him hiding behind a big old tree
Give him lots of kisses and send him home to me
Tell him that I love him, because I really, admittedly do
And I'll never try again, to flush him down the loo.

How About this one?
Mirror
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Why am I so very small?
When will I start to grow?
Can you help me, yes, or, no?
.
Mirror, mirror, oh so wise
Can you tell me about my size?
Will I always be a exiguous mite?
Or will I grow to reach the light?
.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Tell me please will I be tall?
Can't you help with my need?
Tell me if I'll stay a weed
.
Mirror, mirror, are you there?
Hang on a sec; I'll get a chair.
There, that's better. This is me.
Tell me true what do you see
.
Mirror, mirror, you're awfully dumb
I think I'll go and ask my mum.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent pauses in breathing while sleep. Three types of sleep apnea exist: central, obstructive and mixed. Obstructive is the most common, resulting from over-relaxation of throat muscles, causing the windpipe to collapse and block the airway. Treatments for sleep apnea range from uncomplicated lifestyle changes to surgery. One of the most common non-invasive treatments is the sleep apnea pillow.
A sleep apnea pillow is a pillow that is designed for snorers, since snoring is one of the most common indicators of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea pillows are designed to support the neck, to prevent patients from rolling onto their backs (where snoring and sleep apnea can worsen), to cradle the head, to elongate the neck and keep the tongue from blocking the airway, and to sustain side sleepers by relieving pressure on shoulders and arms.
Several distinct manufacturers claim their sleep apnea pillows achieve the above objectives, but Sona pillow is the only sleep apnea pillow approved by the Food and Drug administration (Fda) as an over-the counter treatment.
The Sona sleep apnea pillow at first looks rather odd. A two-layered triangle instead of a solid rectangle, this sleep apnea pillow resembles a padded boomerang more than a pillow. The angular design, though, is what makes this pillow helpful in treating sleep apnea. The shape is intended to declare sleep in the side position. Two inclined surfaces make up the customary sleeping surface, with a flatter lower surface in the center.
Each lower part of the triangle of the sleep apnea pillow has a training arm sling. To properly use the pillow lie on whether side, enlarge your arm in the open space under the pillow. Your arm should be kept extended while sleeping and the head should be maintained on the same side as the extended hand.
Initially, you may use the training arm sling to declare this position by placing the arm in the space between the pillow and the sling. For supplementary sleep compliance, you can use a body pillow to hug over, or to put between the legs to help declare the side sleeping position. Using the sleep apnea pillow in this manner allows the jaw to be pulled forward, preventing the tongue from falling backward and obstructing the throat.
Certain portions of the populations are not candidates for the Sona sleep apnea pillow. people with severe sleep apnea do not benefit from using the Sona sleep apnea pillow as a solo therapy. Obese individuals with a body mass index (Bmi) of over 30 will not get the snoring relief obtained by thinner members of the population.
The Sona sleep apnea pillow, like all pillows, undergoes normal wear and tear, and should be periodically fluffed. The makers of Sona pillow also recommend replacing the sleep apnea pillow annually.
Before purchasing the Sona sleep apnea pillow, or any sleep apnea pillow, consult your physician.
Sona Pillow is a registered trademark of Sleep Devices, Inc.
Do you like video games? approximately everybody does (even those people who say they don't but privately wish they could play them anyway.) And the current craze in video games exists in the area of handheld gaming, which may explicate why Sony Inc. Has created the Psp mini or handheld gaming system. All Psp units are based on the Universal Media Disc rights technology exclusively owned by Sony Inc.
With the Psp and handeld gaming growing in popularity by leaps and bounds, it is not surprising that emulators would be created. An emulator, for those who don't know, is a hardware or software goods that can imitate one system's functionalities when the emulator is installed into an additional one fully dissimilar system. Thus, emulators can come in the form of software which will be run on Pcs so that a new software application can be run on such machines; or in the form of hardware which has firmware integrated into it. This hardware's firmware would be responsible for telling your Pc how to function once definite game software has been downloaded into that Pc.
A free emulator software that has been going around is the Neo Geo Emulator. This emulator, which is now popularly installed in many Psps, aims to permit end-users to play games which were popularized in the late 1990s in Japan and are based on the Neo Geo Game console. Obviously, Sony Inc. Does not officially allow the Neo Geo Emulator to be installed on its Psps, but that doesn't preclude people from downloading the emulator software into their Psp units free of fee anyway.
It should be explained that Neo Geo Emulators don't come in one version only. One source on the Internet recommends this version - Mvspsp 2.0.6 - and explains how to install it properly. See below details for the installation process:
* To install the Mvspsp 2.0.6, you need to copy the Mvspsp briefcase into the Game briefcase so that you can amble to run the agenda in 1.50 kernel. If you can secure some roms for yourself, look for the other briefcase dubbed romcnv. The romcnv briefcase has an exe inside that can turn your roms into a cache file. This cache file is significant (just like the roms zip file) for use on the Psp phat due to its low memory.
* After that, you have to originate one briefcase labelled Roms and an additional one one labeled Cache within the Mvspsp folder. In addition, you wish the neogeo.zip that functions as the console's bios - this permits you to run the Neo Geo games.
* Once done, set it in the Roms folder. You don't need to originate a cache of that info though.
The Neo Geo emulator described here can play Metal Slug 1, Samurai Showdown, and King of the Monsters with 100% precision and functionality too. This source also disclosed that one can now get the Mvspsp 2.2.0 (applicable for the Psp version named Psp Slim) which does not need use of cache files since the Psp Slim has a doubled memory spanning 64mb.

The rules have changed. Shopping for employment is a hybrid of self-acting filter applications, on-line hunt engines and good old fashioned human interpretation. To be efficient you need to make sure that your resume is designed to achieve in all of these areas. In the hunt for a new job, a best job, or just holding your Resume current, use these ten uncomplicated steps to draft a stellar resume.
1. Originate a Personal Portfolio
This is the easy part. Begin by development a list of accomplishments, instruction and former positions. This is your own secret list. Do not be concerned with the order or the appearance. You can use scratch paper, word processor or collection of documents. Gather, create, procure and document your history with foremost facts, figures and milestones. procure the relevant highlights from your life, instruction and career.
2. Choose a proper Outline
Select a proper Template to use as your outline. Resist the urge to be creative or unique in the format of your resume. Do not waste time with colorful bullets, images or watermarks. Why? Web sites like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com provide the selection to upload a resume in proper format and can automatically recognize job titles with linked accomplishments. Your resume gets cut and spliced into pure text data and loaded into a "Monster" database that can be accessed by recruiters, human reserved supply departments and agencies. Many companies and organizations either use the on-line database application or have similar software for managing the pure text from resumes. These filters do not preserve colorful bullets, images, icons or watermarks. If you do not want to spend your time copying and pasting pure text for every on-line opportunity, then make your life easy and use a proper template.
Organize the documents and thoughts from your personal portfolio into a chronological timeline and type them into a proper resume outline. Be sure to keep track of the accomplishments that best define your ability.
Sample pro and proper Outlines can be found at
http://www.executiveblueprints.com/executive_jobs.htm
3. Work Backwards
The typical resume starts with a short paragraph about you, followed bullet by points of your highlights, and then lists your career starting with your current or newest job. While that is meaningful to a potential boss to see the most current and relevant data first, it is opposite of the order of events. Most people tend to reflect on their life with greater precision in chronological order, like a story unfolding and progressing through the eyes of your memory.
Start at the end of your resume and work toward the beginning. This will enable you to ensue your own career path and build up to the current status. It will make more sense to you as you put it together. Like building blocks of personal development, it will make more sense to man reading the final product and comprehension how you got to where you are today.
Start with your education. Then modernize the bullet points for the first job or oldest career position that you are going to include. Keep working forward in time, from the end of your resume to the beginning. Pay attention to how the responsibility and taste of each position contributed to the success of the subsequent one.
4. Concise, exact and Measured
Bullet points with short sentences and exact measurements are excellent. For each job, use a series of bullet points to make your statement. Punctuate the highlights with measurements. "Good sales skills" should be "Increased sales 45% in first Quarter", "Increased sales 15% year-over-year" or "Directed Regional Sales increase of 7% in Sixteen Months". Assistance linked measurements may be linked to "Improved buyer pleasure from 87% to 95%", or "Managed a Call town with less than 2% Abandon Rate". Accounting and Finance may include estimated median size of portfolio managed, excellent receivables in days, or similar measurements. Dates, Completion and Milestones are also a recipe of measurement. The lowest line is that every position can be measured. recognize measurements and provide quantitative details.
Do not make up measurements. include the data if you have it or you are determined in the accuracy. Do not make up numbers if you do not know them. Use bullet points to be concise, do not use paragraphs. Avoid using "I" or "We". Use personal accomplishments with supporting data.
5. select Your Highlights
Select feature from your personal portfolio. These may or may not be included in your career bullet points. You can emphasize exact accomplishments from your career, or you can use this opportunity to feature outside achievements. For example, this might be your opportunity to mention volunteer work for charitable contributions. Use highlights to draw attention to exact private talents, skills and experience. Highlights should also be listed in bullet form, above the private career descriptions.
6. Keywords and Buzzwords
Above the bulleted Highlights, Originate a section of bulleted Keywords and Buzzwords. What are keywords and buzzwords? These are tasteless words linked with your desired profession. For example, a programmer might include reference to "Unix", "Linux" or "Oracle". An menagerial assistant might include expertise in "Word, Powerpoint, Excel", or the number of "Wpm". If you know which skills, tools, degrees or taste are relative and foremost for your profession, then be sure to list your capabilities. Do not take this for granted or assume that this is common. The recruiter and boss can not assume that all applicants have the important skills, so make sure that you include as many as possible.
Why is this so important? The on-line tools and application filters will hunt your resume for keywords linked to exact jobs, just like hunt engines hunt for keywords to recognize relevance in a web page or web site. The more matches to keywords, the higher your score. Typically the highest scores are used to select individuals for personal interviews, and the lowest scores are discarded before a human ever reads the resume. To avoid being discarded by an self-acting attendant, enhance your score with relevant keywords.
7. Make Your Own Headlines
Create a short paragraph to define yourself and use this as the opportunity of your resume. It should only be four or five sentences long, chock full of keywords and buzzwords. Use operation verbs like "Managed", "Directed", "Accomplished", or "Achieved". These are sentences, not bullet points. If you get beyond the self-acting applications and filters, this will be the first thing that a man reads. You never get a second opportunity to make a first impression, so summarize yourself in the opportunity paragraph in such a way that the reader would be compelled to scan the rest of your work history in you resume.
8. Add Spice
Review the entire document from start to finish. Modify your bullet points with operation adverbs and enthralling adjectives where appropriate. For example, "In payment of four employees, reduced expenses 12%" can be more efficient and enthralling worded as "Managed a dynamic division that dramatically reduced uncut expenses by 12%". Which record sounds more enthralling and energetic to you?
Read each sentence as if you were the big voice of a radio announcer. If the bullet points sound exciting, then you have written them well. If the record sounds ridiculous in your big announcer voice, then you might need to write the bullets again. Just in case, don't use that big announcer voice in public until you are certainly determined about your resume.
9. Check Your Name and taste Information
Make sure that it is easy to find your name, email address and phone number. It would be a shame to have a stellar resume that is a exquisite match for the job of your dreams, and the boss can not get in touch with you. Don't laugh, it happens. Make sure that your name, email and phone number are prominently visible on both pages of your resume.
Do not include personal or secret data like a public security number. Do not use more than two pages for your resume, no matter how many jobs you have worked. If you are using a pro resume format, you will be prompted for placement of your taste information. Make sure that it is your taste data on every page.
10. Characterize and Repeat
Review your resume for exact spelling, grammar and punctuation. Nothing says careless best than a resume that is full of errors. I have seen managers instantly discard resumes due to spelling or grammar. The resume is a reflection of you, and the boss assumes that you took time to craft this document with great care. Your time to come opportunities may be based on your resume, so it should be treated that way. If you do not have confidence, then it may be well worth the speculation to hire a pro to exact these errors and spice up the document for you. Reconsider it a one time speculation that will bring you continual rewards by earning a best job and best pay.
Once you have a resume that gives you pleasure and confidence, then it is time to convert it. Save that version of your resume, and make another copy that you can modify with a separate theme. Use the copy of your resume to convert keywords, buzzwords and highlights from a separate perspective. In many cases there are aspects of your taste that may be more closely linked with separate job markets or industries. Adjust the language of your resume according to separate job markets so you can submit a fitting resume to a target position. Do not try to make your resume "one size fits all", but rather make several variations of your resume with separate themes.
For examples of how to use separate themes, collate the following on-line versions of these actual resumes:
Do not distribute a list of references unless asked. References should only be presented during an interview, not distributed in advance.
Ask permission from each man to be a reference for you. Do not ever list man without prior consent. Employers are obligated to call and verify references, and you do not want it to be a surprise.
Be courteous to the people who are generous adequate to be a reference, ask them for a written endorsement or letter of recommendation. This enables the reference to endorse your quality or taste without the interruption of a phone call until it is time for an boss to check and verify references. This is a courtesy to your references as it will minimize the potential number of people who may call. It also gets your endorsement in the hands of the potential boss that much faster. It is a great way to be courteous and build credibility at the same time.
Submit Your Resume
Don't be shy. Upload your resume to the on-line web tools and be prepared for quick response. Check your email every day and reply quickly to opportunity. Do not think of it as being over-eager, it is being enthusiastic and responsive. Recruiters and employers have a need and incentive to fill positions with superior individuals in a prompt and efficient manner. They do not have time to wait if you take your time, so be at the front of the line and demonstrate your aggressive and enthusiastic desire.
Prepare for Your Interview
If you took this much time and care to prepare a stellar resume, then do the same preparing for your interview. A pro resume will get you past the on-line filters, the firm internal applications and the front-line reviews. If you get to the personal interview, make sure that you are adequately prepared.
You need to be determined in the final versions of your resume. If you are not sure, ask for Characterize from trusted and respected colleagues. If you do not want to do that, you might want to Reconsider using a pro Assistance to support you. Remember, the time that you spend on your resume is an speculation to open new doors to career opportunities that could dramatically convert your life. Invest a petite extra time for long persisting rewards.

The Greek Sphinx - A Demon Of Death And Esoteric Wisdom
The Sphinx is best described as a symbol of "arcane wisdom" (Olderr 126), and wicked power in antique Greece nearby 1200 Bce. Her habit is depicted by the mythical story associated with her, specifically, her interactions with Oedipus . The Sphinx had also existed much earlier with other meanings in cultures such as Egypt. Since that time, its symbolism has become so enthralling that its meaning is almost proverbial in the Western World today (Britannica 16).
The Sphinx truly fits her title as a beast. In the Greek legend, the Sphinx is a female symbol with the body and feet of a lion, the head and breasts of a woman, and the wings of an eagle (Scafella 179). Albeit the sphinx really described sounds hideous, the optic portrayals of antique Greece are nonetheless enticing. Such representations most ordinarily appeared on ivories, painted plaques, and earthenware (Britannica 16). Although there are many representations of the sphinx, for the purposes of this essay, the example used is the Greek Sphinx seated on a short ionic column before Oedipus. This representation is painted on an Athenian vase from the Archaic duration in Greece, in the middle of 800 and 500 Bce (Boardman 246).
The name "Sphinx" is a Greek name derived from the verb sphiggein, which means "to draw tight or to bind together" (qtd. In Scafella 179). Her myth is well described by Albert E. Cowdrey in his fictional story The Name of the Sphinx: "Her function was to harass and obstruct Thebes's tourist trade by forcing visitors to write back a riddle. If they got it wrong, she killed them" (104). She asked this riddle, taught to her by the Muses : "What is it that has one voice, and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" (Britannica) Even though it is not explicit in the antique myth, the meaning of her name suggests she may have killed those who answered incorrectly by strangling them. Her role links her directly to another antique myth, the tragically ironic story of Oedipus.
Oedipus was the prince of Thebes, who was abandoned by his father when he was born because of a prophecy that his son would kill him. His father bound his feet together and left him on a lonely mountain (Encarta). Oedipus eventually wandered back to Thebes, which was plagued by the Sphinx. Upon being asked her question, however, Oedipus answered correctly: "Man, who crawls on all fours in infancy, walks on two feet when grown, and leans on a staff in old age" (Britannica 16). The sphinx was so distraught, she jumped from her perch and killed herself. The story continues that the Thebans were so grateful to Oedipus that they offered him kingship, which was rightfully his anyway, and he unwittingly married the his mother, the Queen (Encarta).
The Sphinx appeared in Greece for the first time nearby 1600 Bce, but it was not until later, nearby 1200 Bce, that the legend took on a identifiable meaning and industrialized into what is ordinarily known today. Before the Greek time, however, the Sphinx as a symbol had existed for over one thousand years in cultures such as in Egypt, where it is most ordinarily agreed to have originated (Scafella 180). While many characteristics have stayed the same in the Sphinx, some central ones have changed. The most positive distinction is the sex of the Sphinx. Whereas the Egyptian Sphinx was exclusively male, the Greek Sphinx was almost all the time female. The Greek Sphinx was used typically as a symbol of wisdom and malignance, whereas the Egyptian Sphinx, especially in its earliest forms, was often associated with divinities, and was used as a symbol of protection. It had no mysterious or deceitful nature. An example of this role is his presence "before the temples of the Nile Valley, exterior the pyramid of Kaphren" (Suhr 97). Moreover, in Egypt, the Sphinx did not have wings and was often recumbent, contrary to the Greek Sphinx, which was commonly sitting, especially on her tall perch at Thebes (Scafella 180).
Looking at the deepest symbolisms of the sphinx, she may well be one of the most elusive symbols of human history. While many theories converge and digress like choppy waves, they have but one likeness, that her meaning is, over all else, enigmatic. One important idea, however, is the positive reference to brain being coupled with animalism: "...the hybridizing of man and lion suggests the dominance of human intellect over raw animal power" (Hajar). This idea is additional elucidated by Friedrich Hegel, a German philosopher in the 1800s: "The human head that bursts from the animal body represents Mind as it begins to raise itself above Nature... Without, however, being able to liberate itself thoroughly from its fetters" (qtd. In Scafella 185). These ideas do well with the time duration in which they are situated, in that civilization and war were competing realities of everyday life.
Another enthralling interpretation is that the sphinx is a purely psychological symbol, representing the complexity and duality of the human mind: "Unlike many mythical creatures, the sphinx was never believed to be more than a thing of the imagination" (Hajar). In today's Freudian terms, the Sphinx would be carefully an element of the unconscious, of whose presence we are positive only due to the tangible consequences of her existence (Cirlot 304).
Lastly, on a far diverging note, a theory eloquently conjectures that "the mask of the sphinx pertains to the mom image and also to nature-symbolism; but beneath the mask lies the implications of the myth of multiplicity or of the enigmatic fragmentation of the cosmos" (Cirlot 304). Although, following with the standard theme of deceitfulness, this theory is unique in expressing a superficial motherly side of the Sphinx, evidently derived of her important breasts. It is excellent that feminine symbols, which almost all the time refer exclusively to affection and compassion, are used in the Sphinx, an opposite symbol of wrath. It is possible, as Cirlot alludes, that such symbols are used to dramatise the fundamental symbolism by using a misleading corporal appearance.
From her slow rise to power from antique Egyptian myth to Greek legend and today's colloquial awareness, the Sphinx has become the optic embodiment of deceit, wrath, enigma, and intelligence. Her death is a memory of triumph over animal rage. But that memory is a fallacy that haunts the mind. Human triumph did not end the indication of illness of animalism, nor the malignance of intelligence. It ended only the optic depiction of a reality to which humankind is forever victim, its own group mind. The brilliance of the Sphinx is thus, to deceive more in fake demise than when she lived.

Genesis Bible Study on the First Creation account of Genesis 1v1-2v3
Introduction
This report is a literary vital study of the first creation account in the book of Genesis 1:1-2:3. It is divided into three inescapable sections. First, a normal literary diagnosis of the whole pericope will be examined. Secondly, as per the requirements of this paper, a word study follows. Thirdly, a verse by verse exam of the whole pericope is included, interacting with commentaries from discrete mighty scholars. The translation used in this report is from the New American accepted Bible, copyright (c) 1960, 1988 by The Lockman Foundation.
Literary Nature Of The P Creation Account
The introductory creation account of Genesis was not created ex nihilo. Rather, its content was born out a rich plethora of creation accounts permeating the ancient Near East. One remarkable example of this is seen in the similarities in the middle of Genesis and the Enumah Elish1:
Enumah Elish: Divine spirit and cosmic matter are co-existent and coeternal
Genesis: Divine spirit creates cosmic matter and exists independent of it
Enumah Elish: Primeval chaos; Ti'amat enveloped in darkness
Genesis: Earth was a desolate waste, with darkness outside the deep
Enumah Elish: Light emanated from Gods
Genesis: Light created
Enumah Elish: Creation of firmament
Genesis: Creation of firmament
Enumah Elish: Creation of dry land
Genesis: Creation of dry land
Enumah Elish: Creation of luminaries
Genesis: Creation of luminaries
Enumah Elish: Creation of man
Genesis: Creation of man
Enumah Elish: Gods rest and celebrate
Genesis: God rests and sanctifies the seventh day
While there are many similarities which link Genesis to the Enumah Elish, among other creation accounts, the remarkable theological statements of Genesis hold it in stark discrepancy to all other accounts of this time period. The above chart is plainly to note that creation accounts of this nature and those containing similar orders predated Genesis and influenced its form, though not its theological assumptions concerning the Divine; for these are far removed in nature and character. Even in the use of templates for the order of when each measure was created, the theological postulations of how exactly they came about hold it in discrepancy to even its closest literary cousins.
Rightly, the literary genius of Genesis is in its very use of other well-known creation accounts. The capability to draw the audience in with well-known phrases and orders, only to shock them with unexpected concepts which radically alter the base comprehension of reality at the time, reveals a well-informed and understanding out strategy.
The understanding and structures basal the Genesis 1 account of creation cannot be overstated. There does not seem to be a word, phrase, or repetition that is not purposeful and assuredly ordered. Consider the use of sevens and multiples thereof2:
Genesis 1:1 contains 7 words
Genesis 1:2 contains 14 words
Genesis 1:1-3 contains 35 words
God is mentioned 35 times
Heaven is mentioned 21 times
Earth is mentioned 21 times
God made 7 times
Naming or blessing something is used 7 times
The Phrase "and it was so" is used 7 times
The Phrase "and it was good" is used 7 times
God saw that it was good 7 times
In increasing to the amount seven, the Genesis account is replete with other amount and structural repetitions, as well as the use of chiasms. Due to the brevity of space I will address just three more in this section, which have the many impact on the theology of the text. First, there are ten divine commands spoken by God.3 Second, the way in which the author of the Genesis account uses words can best be understood by comparing them to the way a composer would use instruments. Consider for instance that the Genesis account uses a pattern of an ever increasing amount of words for each of the days of creation, demonstrating an increasing variety and profundity.4 Finally, days three and six form crescendos with the duplicate announcements of the Divine word (God said) as well as the duplicate approvals (and it was good).5
Word Study
The criticism on the first Genesis account of creation will be treated after the Word Study. This is due to the chosen word's theological implications for the first three verses of the text. For the word study I have chosen to parse the meaning of the Hebrew word ruach (wind). There is a definite presuppose I have chosen this word instead of the more inescapable option of tselem (image). I have chosen ruach because of what I believe to be the central theme of this text. While Genesis 1-11 is a literary unit, Genesis 1-3 also stands as a literary sub-unit. It is my confidence that these three texts deal with the three universal questions of existence:
Genesis 1: What is the nature of God?
Genesis 2: What is the nature of man?
Genesis 3: What is the nature of evil?
While each of these chapters provide aspects of the reply to all three questions, their central focus and theme is clear. Therefore, since the focus of the author in Genesis 1 is to give an comprehension of the character of God, then it stands to presuppose that the focus of a word study should effort to shine light on that same theme.
The word ruach in Scripture is expressed in the Old Testament with 14 separate nuances of meaning, appearing 377 times, most commonly in Isaiah, Ezra and Psalms.6 The meanings increase from what is empty or transitory, spirit or mind (both in the human sense), breath, air, wind, wind directions, to the Spirit of God and even assuredly Holy Spirit: (ha)ruach.
The form of its usage in Genesis 1:2 is masculine singular construct. This links it in with the use of elohiym. So at the very least, it is of God's sending or of His will. The inquire which has been often debated is either it is His own Spirit/essence which is hovering or if it is merely a mighty wind sent by God.
Those supporting the view that it is nothing more than a mighty wind include: von Rad, Speiser, Schmidt, and Westermann.7 Their discussion is that the ruach mentioned here is plainly part of the chaos demonstrated in this verse. They see this verse as three parallel clauses emphasizing the void and chaos. Walton, Matthews, and Chavalas, in the Ivp Bible Background Commentary, state that the understanding of mighty wind is similarly gift in the Enumah Elish as a disruptive wind, bringing unrest.8
On the other side, Cassuto, Kidner, Gispen, Gunkel, Skinner, and Procksch view the usage of ruach to refer to the Spirit of God.9 agreeing to Wenham, this usage of the word ruach in Genesis all the time includes some manifestation of God.10 This phrasing may be a miniature strong. It would be safer to say that God is involved in some way wherever the word ruach is used in Genesis. Specifically, the constructive form of ruach in Genesis 1:2 would allow for such an interpretation.
Considering the points above, and that Genesis 1 seems to be a report of God's interaction with chaos--forming it, ordering it, and injecting it with life--it would make sense to have these opposing troops introduced together for the sake of contrast. The necessity to view all three clauses as negative parallelism is not facilely apparent and not potential with the inclusion of elohiym in this verse. While there are repetitions of three or more parallel thoughts in Hebrew poetry, there are even more instances of two lines of parallel poetry. Thus, contrasting this one understanding of chaos expressed in two clauses for emphasis juxtaposed in an antithetical poetic expression against God's proximity hovering over the waters (the essence of order hovering over the essence of chaos) is just as apt to be the case.
The final inquire that must be addressed in this usage of ruach elohiym is the presuppose for the inclusion of this clause at all. It was already stated that God created in v.1 and God begins forming in v.3, so the inclusion of His ruach in v.2 seems to serve no vital purpose in linking God to creation as either originator (already established in v.1) or orderer of it (established in vv.3ff). So why this inclusion here of his ruach? Calvin proposes that it demonstrates God is not only the originator (v.1) and the one who forms it (v.3) but that it He is also the sustainer, through the proximity of His Spirit (v2).11 Kidner also touches on this, referencing Job 33:4 and Psalm 104:30 as other instances of God's ruach being a sustaining force.12
Commentary
Genesis 1:1-2: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the outside of the deep; and the Spirit of God was entertaining over the outside of the waters.
Many have commented on the agency of 1:1 from 1:2, much of which attempted to address the discrete concordists views. Von Rad, on the other hand, makes an entertaining theological statement concerning the necessity of separating v.1 from vv.2ff. He says that the separation is vital because v.1 is theological in nature and if chaos is to be placed beside the order of God, then chaos would have to be spoken of first, as a former state, since God undoes chaos in favor of cosmos.13
Genesis 1:3-5: Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
The literary approach of light preceding the bodies that give light (sun, moon, stars) would not have brought any of the modern scientific puzzlements to the minds of the ancient audience. For they believed that not all light came from sun. There was still light when sun was down and when eclipsed. Even when clouds covered all of the heavenly bodies, there was still light.14 Rather, the literary option here that would have been apparent to the ancient audience was in the portrayal of God as the one who holds the power of light as a created thing.15 This stood in stark discrepancy to other myths that portrayed light as an vital element of the deities or as a being ruled by the sun god. Here, it is merely one of many creations of God.
More importantly, light is seen here as the regulator of time, since its' creation brings about the first day.16 It organized the totality of time.17 It is also of note that the days start with evening. As each part is ordered and/or bursts forth with blessed life it culminates in God's approval and then evening--a time of rest for the inhabitants of creation who move and work in the daylight. In other words, God's order brings rest.
Genesis 1:6-8: Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it isolate the waters from the waters." And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Note here that while He has the power to merely "speak" things into existence, He also "creates" the things that need form. He is forming them agreeing to their kind. The two things he does not physically form (the light and the dry land) have no definite form agreeing to any definite kind; but the vault of the sky, the sun and moon, and the animals each have a form crafted by God. This is other literary fabricate emphasizing God's focus on forming things agreeing to their kind.
Also, notice the exclusion of God perceiving that, "it was good." There are only two elements in creation that God does not singular out, perceiving their goodness: the heavens and man. Many theological conclusions could be pulled from this omission; however, they would largely be speculative in nature.
Genesis 1:9-10: Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.
Of interest in this movement of God is the fact that He did not take off the evils of darkness and water. He instead incorporates them by limiting them and giving them a allowable place.18
Genesis 1:11-13: Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants compliance seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth"; and it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants compliance seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Again God is seen here as the ruler over all. Even that which He does not originate with His own hands, He is still sovereign over by command. We will see this later on with the blessings over all the creatures. He created the first and it is only through His blessing of them that they are able to reproduce, an act that when employed is merely done so under the authority and will of God.
This command of the earth to yield plant life did not give it divine status, rather nature's output of plant life is merely a right given to it by God and in producing each season it is showing itself to be branch to God's command. This true literary buildings undercuts any pitfalls of pantheism. Without God, creation is non-existent, and without His command, creation is impotent to bring forth its produce.
Genesis 1:14-19: Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to isolate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to isolate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Up to this moment of creation God has divided, ordered and created space. However, He now begins to use that "goodness" for a additional purpose by injecting it with entities. In doing so, He produces additional "goodness" and brings additional blessing into creation, as well as giving creation stewards to ensure its continued order and therefore goodness.
In this first placement of entities into creation we again see God limiting and restricting the influence of darkness with light.19 Second only to the creation of man, the creation of the sun and moon are given the most attention. The report is both detailed for clarity and repetitive for emphasis.20 Wenham observes a basic buildings for this21:
A. To divide the day from the night 14a
B. For signs, for fixed times, for days and years 14b
C. To give light on the earth 15
D. To rule the day 16a
D'. To rule the night 16b
C'. To give light on the earth 17
B'. To rule the day and the night 18a
A'. To divide the light from the darkness 18b
Conspicuous by its absence is any name for the sun, moon or stars. All of the other creations are either given a name (days 1-3) or given a blessing (days 5-6). However, in this lengthy section, neither name nor blessing is given. This may be a subtle way of disagreeing with ancient Near East, downgrading the base deification of the heavenly bodies.22
Genesis 1:20-25: Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens." And God created the great sea monsters, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and all that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
Next God fills the seas, the earth, and the skies with the animal kingdom. The poetic expressions of the filling of creation with weighty attractiveness and springing variety is well represented by the repeating buildings best realized in the original Hebrew. Wenham attempts to place vv.24-25 into the following chiasm23:
A. Cattle creeping things
B. Wild animals
B'. Wild animals
A'. Cattle creeping things
However, a closer reading of the text reveals a repetition, rather than a chiasm:
A. introductory Formula: God Commands:
B. Speech Proper
1. Let the Earth Bring Forth...According to its Kind
2. The Kinds listed
3. Restatement: each agreeing to its Kind
C. God's Command: Was So
B'. Operation Proper
1. And God made...According to its Kind
2. The Kinds listed
3. Restatement: each agreeing to its Kind
C'. God's Action: and it was so.
Genesis 1:26-28: Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, agreeing to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
This oddity of God taking counsel with Himself or with other deities has been profusely debated, but no delight has emerged as the hallmark argument. If one holds to the late dating of the Jedp theory, then a polytheistic rendering of "our" could not be facilely accepted. The other greatest of it being merely a self-encouragement is also unnecessary from a being who formed the whole cosmos with miniature to no effort.
The author's focus of this section of the creation account is not on the nature of God, but rather on explaining in great detail many theological concepts concerning man. Thus, it is wise in this section to spend more time addressing this issue of the nature of man. For these verses offer us: 1) the most words used to narrate any part of creation; 2) it is the only time God takes counsel before creating; 3) man is created in the image of God; 4) three of the seven times the word originate is used is gift here with the creation of humans; 5) a pronouncement of blessing on humans; and 6) gives them authority.24
This is vital because it gives humanity a framework from which to understand its role in the total created order: 1) entrusting we who bear His image with stewardship over the earth; 2) God has set boundaries within which the discrete dimensions of the created order fulfill their purposes; 3) God assigns tasks and responsibilities to discrete members of creation, for example lights in heaven for times and seasons; 4) no member of the created order is a deity; and 5) in resting God provides a period of time for humans to enjoy the attractiveness of the created order. In addition, this counters false worldviews of dualism, astrology, nihilism, and philosophies that devalue human life.25
Genesis 1:29-31: Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant compliance seed that is on the outside of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit compliance seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so. And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Wehman and Westermann argue that telling man he can eat of the earth stands in discrepancy to the mesopotamian stories where man was created to provide the gods with food.26 While this may be a true statement, it does not track with the larger message of the text. If "food for man" instead of "man for food" was the heart of the message then the literary repetition of giving all of plant life to the animal kingdom after giving it to mankind seems to sidetrack the focus, that is, if the focus was on this reversal of the Mesopotamian creation account.
A closer reading of the literary focus of the whole creation account reveals that holding divisions and boundaries is the most important thrust of God's will. To eat of other kind is to break these boundaries, and so the message of these verses when read in context seems to favor God supplying all of the living creation with a means to nourish itself without crossing the boundaries that allow for order and life.
Genesis 2:1-3: Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
While it is easy to read this as an absence from or in discrepancy to the first six days of creation, that is not fully the case. In this final day of the creation account, God gives the final division, that of normal time and holy time.27 It is entertaining that God begins by creating the means for the passage of time (light) on the first day and then gives bodies to rule over this "creation clock" (sun & moon) on the fourth day and finally He sanctifies and divides time on the seventh day. Note also the threefold use of the word "seventh" in 2:2-3.28
However, the seventh day is not merely other day of creation. The fact that there is no parallel to the sabbath day shows "a position of emphasis."29 The blessing and hallowing here are remarkable terms, considering that God regularly reserves blessing for God, man, and animals. The divine blessing that rests on the animate members of creation lead to fruitfulness, success, multiplication. Thus, it is paradoxical that the day on which God refrains from creative Operation is pronounced blessed.30 There is then the suggestion that those who peruse the sabbath will enjoy divine blessing in their lives.

On your next Disney vacation, you may not consideration the Frontierland cowboys intelligent straight through incommunicable corridors in and out of the park. You will probably never see the imagineer studios where designers are fusing together robot animatronics or the Disney artist studios where painters and wood carvers are making the next attraction's hand-crafted signs.
You may not know what rides are being planned for 2009, or who the Ceo of the Walt Disney company is, but you can rest assured there's a huge team of Disney executives working behind-the-scenes at making your family's trip the contact of a lifetime.
Sometimes it's easy to forget that the Disney company is pulling behind-the-scenes strings. When visitors enter Disney World Orlando, Tokyo Disneyland or one of the many Disney "empires," the illusion becomes real.
Every care and worry plainly ceases to exist for people on their family Disney vacation, which is just the way Walt and Roy Disney imagined it. Like any business, there is competition, and with Universal planning a new Simpsons ride and a Harry Potter theme park, the Walt Disney company knows it must keep developing or be left in the dust.
There are any projects being undertaken by Disney for 2008-2009. In California, the Mark Vii Monorail is being developed to help transport people in the middle of parks, and new attractions for the ailing, Disneyland California park, including the Walt Disney Plaza, Walt Disney's splendid World of Color and the tiny Mermaid Under the Sea Adventure.
Walt Disney World Orlando is changing the name of Disney Mgm Studios to Hollywood Studios and is adding an American Idol attraction and Spaceship Earth is undergoing renewal at Epcot. The last major increasing at Disney World Orlando was 2006's 0 million Mount Everest rollercoaster set in the Animal Kingdom. Tokyo Disneyland is adding the MonstersInc. Ride and Go Seek attraction as well.
Perhaps the most predicted new attraction is Toy Story Mania being developed for both American parks. In this ride, guests will board vehicles and navigate straight through a carnival midway, where they'll stop at any 3-D virtual reality game screens. Disney World executives hope to meet people's expectations and desire for instant gratification by greeting guests waiting in line with costumed cast members and a one-million-dollar singing animatronic Mr. Potato Head.
Once inside, Toy Story characters like Bo Peep, Woody and the Piggy Bank will be the carnival operators. "We look at it as gaming meets immersive storytelling," explained one of the designers.
Over the years, the container deals are getting a tiny sweeter to attract the budget-conscious. Reconsider that some Disney World vacation packages including a Disney resort room, dining plan and park ticket start at per person, which is less than the cost of a single park admission ticket!
The "no expiration date" ticket choice appeals to many families, too, enabling them to come back time and time again. Over the years, the Walt Disney company imagineers have remained true to its customary dream: to contribute memorable, fun and educational vacations to families, spanning as many as three generational lines!
