ANITA focuses on helping women to master the new challenges they face with courage, energy and vitality with their wide range of specialist items which feel natural and guarantee a high level of confidence and security for the wearer.
Anita Care Lingerie
Anita Care offers a wide range of comfort lingerie designed especially for the special needs and wishes of women who have undergone breast surgery. All articles are made of soft, skin-friendly materials. They have a slightly higher-cut, stretch neckline and a wide, soft elastic underbust band which holds the breast form firmly in place. The straps become wider in the larger sizes to ensure comfortable support. The range covers the entire design scope from sporty, smooth bras and comfortable bodies through to bras with ultra-feminine and elegant details.
Anita Care Breast Forms
Anita care offers a range of breast forms which feel natural and give the wearer a feeling of confidence and security in everyday situations, even when swimming or doing other sporting activities. They have been designed for perfect compatibility with Anita care bras and swimwear.
Textile breast forms are recommended for post-operative wear. All other breast forms are made of silicone which has outstanding skin and body compatibility. The softness and movement of a silicone breast form resembles that of the natural breast and quickly assumes the body's temperature. The material has been dermatologically tested and certified.
Lingerie Care
Your lingerie will naturally look good for longer if you take careful note of the care instructions on the label. Most lingerie can be machine-washed at low temperatures (30�C). Always use the Delicates setting for this. If your machine doesn't have one, use the Easy Care setting. Always use a mild detergent and ensure the correct dosage - too much can damage the fabric, while too little won't get it properly clean. It is best to place delicate items in a special protective bag before machine-washing, closing all Velcro-type fasteners first - or hand-wash them in warm water. Please do not use fabric conditioner.
Never wash whites and colors together - even by hand. This can cause discoloration, or turn your garments grey and dull. To bring your whites up bright and fresh again, you can occasionally use a net curtain whitener.
Never dry your lingerie directly on heaters, in direct sunlight or in the tumble-dryer. The wear and tear on fabric and lace is exacerbated by extreme heat.

|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Welcome and thanks for taking the job.
Great to have you at the helm on Propwash!
I will be looking at a boat purchase as my kids leave the nest and the things you've been experiencing as you've entered the world of coastal boating over the last season are in sync with what I will need to think about getting back on the seas after a long hiatus (since 1995).
Discussions about proper anchoring or setting up for proper drift approaches for casting in winds and currents is exactly the kind of thing we could really learn from here. GPS discussion would be helpful. Basic rules of the road, safety, etc.
In any case I look forward to a season of enlightening discussion on the boating aspects of angling with you!
I just wanted to say a quick hello as the new co-moderator of the Propwash section. I would not consider myself to be a seasoned boater with only one season under my belt so the idea here is not that I will be a question and answer guy but more a fellow fly guy who is learning the ways of the seas. I certainly found this season that getting on the water and actually catching some fish requires a steep learning curve. My hope is that we can share our experiences and learnings and maybe bring a few more to the boat. If you want to know what the top end of a Contender is with trip 300 Verados on the back there is probably a better place for that. If you want to discuss ways of anchoring up on a flat to intercept cruising bass or sneaking up within fly casting range of some finicky tunoids I would love to have those discussions. I also anticipate that this will continue to be a great place to get some technical feedback or discuss what makes a boat a good fly fishing platform.
Heres to a great season in 06.

Concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions--heightened by a November 2011 International Atomic Energy Commission report that raised "serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions" to Iran's nuclear program--has so far dominated discussions in the presidential race over nuclear proliferation. Other issues such as reducing the U.S. nuclear stockpile, the nuclear test ban treaty, North Korea's nuclear weapons ambitions, and missile defense have remained in the background.
President Barack Obama has pursued a number of nuclear nonproliferation initiatives as president. He also concluded the New START Treaty on nuclear arms reduction with Russia in 2010. Obama has steadily increased sanctions on the Iranian regime--an effort some analysts credit with bringing Iran back to negotiations on ending its uranium enrichment activities but so far has achieved few results. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has offered tough talk on action against Iran and criticized Obama's stance on anti-missile system deployment in Europe.

I've read most of the post here on the POTUS forum over the months, and one line sticks in my head the most. Probably because it rings so true and I've read it so many times.

I've read most of the post here on the POTUS forum over the months, and one line sticks in my head the most. Probably because it rings so true and I've read it so many times.
That line is....
We live in Cuba now.
We will not become the Cuba of Castro. That time may well be over.
Flying over Cuba several years ago, on a fly-in to the Caymans, I was struck by the the relative prestine condition of the shorline and reefs compared to the condition of the keys.
When the Castro regime comes to an end, and it will, coastal development in Cuba may well bring the economic stimulus to the US and the gulf coast states that brings both economies out of the doldrums.
In Castro's Cuba horse-drawn carts have replaced cars and oxen have replaced tractors. Tin cans are recycled into drinking cups and banana peels into Cuban sandals.
Food is rationed, gas is rationed, even sugar is rationed in Castro's Cuba.
Cuba's Castro forbids the release of certain economic data and he once declared GDP a capitalist instrument so he could make certain adjustments and declare Cuba's GDP growing at 5%.
America's Castro, along with his guerillas have been in power for less than a year. America's Castro has only been able to ration medicine and the very air we breathe.
America's Castro has a lot of catching up to do!
We live in Cuba now.
If you really can't recognize the difference, you might as well live in Cuba. The weather would be better than where you are. The biggest threat to freedom in this country are right wing (and left wing) extremists ready to throw democracy out the window because they don't like the results of the election. Those are the people who threaten our heritage: not the immigrants, not the liberals, not the moderates or conservatives, not the atheists, and not the religious. The price of freedom is that we fight for the right of the people to determine their government at the ballot box, and we live with the result while preparing for the next election.
The government does not belong in the private sector. GM will ALWAYS be dependent on the goobs for money. Now, they will destroy the best health care system in the world. If they say something will cost $1. better bet on it costing $20. They can't run anything properly and now they want to run the auto, banking, energy and health industry. Major corporations will be leaving our boarders for a more business friendly envirn.
I hope we start hearing talk of succession from our friends over in Texas. Between Texas, Alaska, Oklahoma, Louisiana and a few other states, we would do just fine without the socialist we have now!
On the other hand, the median income in the country has declined over the last 20 years as income and wealth has been redistributed to a smaller and smaller percentage of the population. The percentage of all personal income earned by those in the lower 50% of our population has declined by about 40%. Our unemployment rate has doubled and real GDP has been virtually flat for five years. Our national debt doubled between early 2001 and the end of 2008, and has gone up 10% in 2009. The percentage of the population without health insurance has increased dramatically over the last eight years while the cost of health care has grown from 13% of GDP in 2000 (a level maintained for about eight years) to 17% in 2008.
The pendulum has swung very far in one direction -- to the right -- for a long time. It is not the end of the world if it swings back a little in the other direction. We will still end up to the right of where we were when Reagan was President by almost every measure.
Of course not.
But, lets address the issues you brought up and where they are today.
They way Obama is spending money, to believe that everyone won't being paying substantially more taxes is a pipe dream. How are we going to pay our debts, cover inflation, pay for the TRILLION in pork that Oabma passed off on the previous Congress? Then, there is a trillion in bailout money that the Fed doesn't even know where it went? Now, a government that can't run anything right wants to spend TRILLIONS (don't be fooled by thier accounting because anything the Gov does comes in way over budget) on health care.
To think that our gun rights are secure is not realistic. This is the most left and looney administration in our history. These people are capable of taking stupidity to new lows.
Our public educational system has been dysfunctional since busing started in the 1960' Our public schools are more segragated today than in the 60's. No responsible parent is going to send thier children to a public school where they will become a part of the Hip Hop culture, unless they haven't the money for private schooling. The teachers union should be disbanded.
Welfare is down because they have switched to SS Disablity or Medicare.
I see the world differently and I've never worn rose-colored glasses.

I was trying to quickly get information on current NEES-R (NSF) funded project. Although a lot of that info is somewhere in NEESHub, or at the NSF site, it is not easly accesible from NEESHub. I would add a link to them in some of the main NEEHub tabs. For example, it could be added to the Projects Warehouse or the Tools&Resources tabs.

Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description One of the largest species of Myotis in North America, with fur varying from light brown to almost black. Has a stubby-nosed appearance, with the ears barely reaching to the end of the nose when bent forward. Forearm 40-45mm.
Dimensions 83-102mm, 39-47mm, 9-14g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Canyons & caves
Range Plains, Southwest, Texas, California
Discussion In some caves containing large numbers of these bats the humidity is very high and the ammonia content of the air from the bats urine can cause the pelage to bleach to a paler color. Flies stronger and less erratically when foraging than most other species of Myotis. Feeds on moths and beetles, and is most active just after dusk and just before dawn. Forms large colonies in caves in lowlands of southwestern North America. Some of these are year-round residents hibernating in the caves during the winter. Other individuals migrate south for the winter, and some may actually seek colder caves at higher elevations for more efficient hibernation.

Our only dissappointment is that we can't trot or gallop with the horses as there are always beginners in the group. For that we would have to pay an extra hour to go with another guide. We just lag behind the rest of the group and when we have a few metres we make the horses trot...although we were told off by the cowboy when caught...naughty us !
The surprise part was that the ranch has a bunch of "travel writers" staying a night so they have done an extra effort to make food delicious (huge steak), they have hired lazoo cowboy to give a show (see pictures) and the cowboys dressed in clean clothes....
P.D. The travel writers are all a bunch of arrogant p**cks who think they know everything about everwhere and still dont know how to listen. Avoid them at all costs.

Dissecting PlayStation 4 Price Rumors
Don't despair, console gamers, it's believed Sony will release a PlayStation 4 (PS4) by the end of the year. Most of the details are unknown at this time, and we really hope Sony doesn't ditch the traditional controller in favor of a touchscreen-based input device akin to the Wii U, as had been rumored, but we'll just have to wait and see.
We'll also have to wait and see how Sony prices the PS4. Japanese newspaper Asahi backed speculation that the PS4 is headed for a 2013 release, saying that it will cost more than 40,000 yen, according to Gematsu.com, which compiled some figures to put that price point into perspective. What did they find?
Well, the least expensive PS3 model, the 20GB SKU, launched at $500 in North America and 49,980 yen in Japan, which converts to $535. If you convert 40,000 yen to USD, you come up with $428. Assuming that the PS4 will again launch a little cheaper in the U.S., you're probably looking at a price tag of at least $400.

Sometimes Wall Street feels like it's stuck in Ender's Game, the sci-fi flick opening about group of children are trained to defend the earth from deadly aliens in what can only be described as a kill or be killed scenario. The market is either surging higher, the bulls say, or it's a bubble waiting to pop, according to the bears.
Neither, of course, happened this week as the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 0.3% to 15,615.55, while the S&P 500 gained 0.1% to 1,761.764.
But that didn't stop the prognosticators on either end of the spectrum from, well, prognosticating, sometimes from within the same shop. Merrill Lynch's head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian, for instance, said that the investment bank's sell-side indicator was at a level that suggests the odds favor a rising market during the next 12 months, perhaps as much as 19%. Merrill Lynch chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett, however, said that if investors put another $8 billion or so of cash into stock funds during the next two weeks that "would trigger a contrarian 'sell signal.'" The note was called "It's Getting Frothy, Man!"
It's possible both are right. Subrmanian is looking 12 months out and I suspect that Hartnett's call is more tactical in nature. But both tap into the two biggest emotions in investing: fear and greed. And for most of us buying stocks because we're hoping for a 1999-like run-up or selling because we fear a repeat of 2008′s financial crisis or the Dot Com Bubble is the worst thing we can do.
Now don't get me wrong. Some stocks certainly look a bit frothy. The Container Store (TCS) went public on Friday and promptly doubled. And as Michael Santoli noted with tongue planted firmly in cheek on Wednesday, more than a few stocks could use a "talking down" from their founder CEOs the way Elon Musk did with Tesla (TSLA) last week. They included LinkedIn (LNKD), Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Starbucks (SBUX).
But this certainly doesn't feel like a bubble, at least not the one circa 2000, when any stock with dot-com attached to their name surged on little more than a hope and a prayer. Say what you will about the over-priced Tesla–it at least has the chance to change the way we think about cars. You could never say that about Pets.com or eToys.com.
In fact, as Barclays' Barry Knapp notes, stocks are trading at about average multiple for the middle of a market cycle and what comes next will be determined by the future course of earnings. Knapp writes:
We're encouraged by the acceleration in core earnings and top-line growth, which
has been apparent 80% into the current earnings season. However, 6% of earnings
growth falls well short of the mid-cycle trend we saw during the last two cycles, yet
the market is trading at an average mid-cycle multiple…
It seems clear to us the rally is less about fundamental earnings momentum and has more to do with the improved outlook for public and monetary policy and the U.S. economy…
The longer-term complexity involves dichotomy between the rates curve out to five years priced for a neutral monetary policy being nearly reached only at the end of 2018 while the risk premium of growth sensitive cyclical sectors has fallen sharply to normal mid cycle levels…
If growth remains below potential, equities are likely mispriced while the rates curve is not, if growth accelerates to above potential equities being reasonably priced but either the rates market is mispriced or Fed policy is too accommodative and either asset or price inflation are the inevitable side effect.
So what's an investor to do? Maybe nothing. This is from the website of the Wall Street Journal's Jason Zweig, and it's probably the best advice for anyone who's in the market, whether you're a short-term trader or a long term investor:
…you don't have to lose just because other people win, and you don't have to win just because somebody else loses. You win when you stick to your own long-term plan, and you lose only when you let greed or fear goad you into changing that plan.
The right time to buy is whenever you have cash to spare. The right time to sell is when you have an urgent and legitimate need for cash. If you buy because the market has gone up, or sell because it has gone down, you are letting 90 million strangers rule your life with their greed and fear.
Better to rule it yourself.

As a Canadian, I watch usually every US election with a sense of dread, especially in the last few years. Today, I am filled with hope. If Obama does nothing else good as president (and I am going to assume we are not going to see a repeat of Dewey/Truman) and he will do many good things, he has already accomplished one thing: got young people out to volunteer and vote.
So please, if you are in the US, go and vote today. Don't
let anyone stand in your way, be it registration or other
dirty tricks.
Vote Obama.
Californians, vote No on Prop 8 and Yes on Prop 1A
Seattlites, vote Yes on Prop 1

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of chip equipment maker Applied Materials (AMAT) are up $1.01, or 6.3%, at $17, after the company this morning said it will merge with Tokyo Electron (8035JP) in stock swap valuing the combined entity at $29 billion, the largest tool maker in the world.
Robert Maire of Semiconductor Advisors, referring to the new entity as Applied Electron, and suggesting a ticker symbol "APEL" (the entity is not yet named, and won't trade as one until sometime next year), suggests buying Applied stock on the deal, writing that it will create an entity with a "huge footprint," and that cost savings could be well beyond the printed $500 million per annum.
"In the critical etch space, Applied does Dielectric while Tokyo Electron does Conductor; CVD is strong for both." He expects pressure on Lam Research (LRCX).
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $1.61 at $492.25, after Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek issued a skeptical view of the company's reported 9 million in first-weekend sales of the iPhone 5S and 5C. Based on reviews of the supply chain, Misek estimates the company sold 4 million of the 5S and 2.5 million of the 5C, with the rest being sold into the channel, meaning non-Apple stores. Misek opines "While 6.5 million sell-through is still solid, it is not a huge amount of upside." He reiterates a Hold rating on Apple shares and a $425 price target.
On the other hand, Susquehanna Financial Group's Chris Caso raised his rating on Apple stock to "Positive" from Neutral, with a $625 price target, up from $440, writing that "When the facts change, we change our minds – and the facts over the weekend indicated that AAPL's new phone lineup was more successful than we and many others had expected, even after accounting for the greater worldwide distribution at launch."
Shares of Facebook (FB) hit a new high today since going public, $49.33, and are up $1.99, or 4%, at $49.18, after Citigroup's Mark May raised his rating on the shares to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to $55 from $32, writing that his inquiries with advertisers suggest positive trends in Q2 will sustain themselves for the company.
"Takeaways from advertiser checks: 1) several advertisers and PMDs are experiencing >15% seq. growth in spend; 2) recent datapoints suggest growth in mobile app downloads and CPIs has continued QTD; and 3) desktop FBX ads remain effective, and Facebook had significant room to increase fill rates coming out of 2Q13," writes May.
Speaking of Internet stocks, CNBC's Julia Boorstin a short while ago reported that "Twitter is leaning toward listing on the New York Stock Exchange, though there is no official decision made." She says representatives of the NYSE visited Twitter executives, though there is "no pressure to make a decision now." Twitter filed two weeks ago for an initial public offering, but did not disclose any financials, using an SEC rule that allows it to withhold such information.
Shares of Intel (INTC) are up 5 cents at $23.67 following a couple of positive notes this morning.
Piper Jaffray's Gus Richard, reiterating a Neutral rating on the shares, writes that Intel's so-called rack scale architecture, introduced a couple weeks ago, which is an integration of fiber optics communications into server chip designs, "could be a game-changer as it applies high volume semiconductor manufacturing practices to optical networking."
"After 10 years of working on the technology, we think Intel is likely light years ahead of competitors in terms of commercialization."
And Ashok Kumar of Maxim Group, who has a Buy rating on the stock, writes that the recently introduced "Bay Trail" processor for tablet computers and converged tablet-notebook hybrids, is superior to comparable chips from competitors using ARM Holdings (ARMH) technology.
There continues to be speculation about BlackBerry's (BBRY) announcement yesterday it will go private with the help of 10% holder Fairfax Financial. The stock got two upgrades today, from Cowen & Co.'s Tim Arcuri, raising the shares to Market Perform from Underperform, and from Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley, raising the stock to Hold from Sell.
But MKM Partners's Michael Genovese writes that he is still comfortable with his Sell rating on BlackBerry, writing "The bottom line is we do not believe it is likely that a non-recent BlackBerry insider steps forward with a higher offer in the go-shop period. We think it is more likely Fairfax could end up lowering its offer by the November 4th deadline."
BlackBerry shares are down 22 cents, or 2.6%, at $8.60, below Fairfax's proposed $9 take-out price.

The 60-day annual legislative session in Tallahassee can seem a confusing, rushed, and hectic mishmash of activity.
Bills with vague titles are introduced in committee, amended, sent to another committee, altered again and then — if they're still alive — eventually make it to the floor of their respective chambers. Where, again, they can be rewritten in their entirety (via the ubiquitous strike-all amendment).
Using its website and the Lobbytools legislative information service, The Florida Bar is trying to demystify the legislative process for its members and also make it easier to find and track bills of interest.
Bar General Counsel Paul Hill said all filed legislation is reviewed and then sorted according to potential interest to various Bar committees and sections.
To access the information, click on Legislative Activity on the left side menu on the Bar's home page at www.floridabar.org. On the resulting page, scroll down to "The Current Legislative Session" and then click the first link "Legislation of Interest to the Legal Profession."
That goes to a page with a list of all sections and committees that may be affected by legislation. Click on any section or committee to see bills that might fall into its purview.
Hill said if there's any hint a bill would be of interest to a section or committee, it's included.
"It's our effort to imagine who would care about a bill with the biggest stretch of the imagination," Hill said.
Having a bill number is one thing. Getting information is another. Rather than have Bar members take the number and look up the bill on a legislative website, each listed bill is connected to a page run by Lobbytools. Clicking on the link takes the member to the page, which provides links to staff analysis of the bill, text of the legislation, proposed amendments, legislative history as it proceeds through committees, and a schedule of when and where it is next set to be heard.
If more in-depth bill tracking is desired, one can simply create legislative tracking accounts on both the House (Florida House of Representatives — Legislative Tracking Login Page), and Senate (Senate Tracker Login — The Florida Senate), websites. Once an account is established, these tracking systems can be personalized to follow specific issues of importance and can be set up to receive automatic email alerts when the status of those items changes.
A different part of the legislative activity section of the site provides a list of all current Bar-wide, section, and committee authorized legislative positions. It also explains the Bar policies that govern legislative activities.
2013-14 interim committee meetings begin the week of September 23, and the regular session will convene on Tuesday, March 4, 2014.
Hill and Joni Wussler, his legislative aide, said the web service is an expansion of what the Bar has always done to keep sections and committees informed about bills.
Wussler can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (850) 561-5662.

It looks like a convention of aliens has landed. But we're not sure even Steven Spielberg could have dreamed up these organisms! Can you guess what they are? Denizens of the coral reef? Exotic funghi? Some sort of plant-animal mutants? Here's a hint: They could be the key to the next revolution in adhesive products (think Post-it Notes and Velcro).
Have you guessed what the objects in the photograph are? They may look like extraterrestrials, but what they are is the feet of six of the world's 750 species of geckos, thin-skinned lizards that live throughout the tropics. Geckos, to put it simply, have truly amazing feet. Humans have been trying to get to the bottom of gecko feet for centuries. Why? Because geckos can skitter across any surface, horizontal or vertical, right-side up or upside down, be it a rock, a plaster wall, a tree branch, a leaf, or a pane of glass, without falling off. They stick so well that they can even hang by a single toe, if so inclined.
Theories about gecko stickiness have abounded over the years. It was thought that their toes acted like suction cups, that there was chemical bonding involved, that the adhesive attraction had to do with water molecules. Recently, scientists have finally discovered just what it is that makes a gecko stick. On the bottom of each gecko toe pad are scales covered with a myriad of microscopic hairlike bristles, millions of them. Each tiny bristle is in turn covered with about a thousand minute pads -- and we mean minute: each pad is said to be only 200-billionths of a meter wide. These pads are just the right size and shape to bond on the molecular level with molecules on the surface material. The force of attraction at work is called van der Waals force.
Now that scientists have discovered the key to this miraculous adhesive, they have been developing synthetic "gecko feet" in order to study its properties and explore possible applications. Eventually they hope to invent an adhesive that can be used far and wide, wet and dry, everywhere from under water to outer space.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — A federal judge has ordered temperature data be collected for 21 straight days in advance of an Aug. 5 trial of a lawsuit by three condemned killers who claim extreme heat indexes at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola amount to cruel and unusual punishment.
The Advocate reported the suit, filed last month, alleges heat indexes on death row at the prison reached 172 degrees Fahrenheit last year and 195 degrees in 2011. . The suit contends the heat index on all six death-row tiers was above 103 degrees every day last August, and that inmates on one tier endured heat indexes of more than 126 degrees "on 85 days between May and August."
Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson's order Tuesday came at the conclusion of a court hearing during which an attorney for the state Department of Public Safety and Corrections and the prison called the inmates' data "greatly exaggerated," ''faulty" and "generally incompetent."
A lawyer representing death-row inmates Elzie Ball, James Magee and Nathaniel Code countered that the men, each of whom suffers from hypertension, face the very real possibility of heat-related illness — including heat stroke, paralysis and heart disease — and even death.
The suit asked Jackson to issue an order compelling prison officials to maintain a heat index on death row of no more than 88 degrees.
"The court will not grant the injunction today. That is the fair and appropriate thing to do," the judge told both sides Tuesday while noting that even death-row inmates are entitled to constitutional protections. He said more evidence on the suit's claims needs to be gathered.
Jackson ordered the two sides to meet and file a joint plan by July 9 concerning what evidence will be collected and shared. If a plan is submitted, the judge said, he will approve it July 10. Otherwise, Jackson said he will issue his own plan on that date.

A walk through the green and tranquil Valley of Hinnom, below Jerusalem's Old City walls, reveals beautiful views and some dark tales, too.
"Every valley shall be raised up ... and the glory of the LORD will be revealed ..." (Isaiah 40:4-5)
It's not easy to find something good to say about the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem, whose bad press from biblical days has followed it down through the ages. After all, it was here, right around the corner from the First Temple, that the people of Judah offered their children to the fire god Molech and to Ba'al (Jer. 7:31; 32:35), for which, Jeremiah warned them, they would pay with the destruction of the Temple and exile.
The full name of this low-lying land is the Valley of the Son of Hinnom – whoever that may have been. Knowing nothing about either son or father, we can only conjecture that Hinnom probably bequeathed his son some rather fertile farmland in this valley that surrounds old Jerusalem on the southwest. The valley's name in Hebrew is Gei Ben-Hinnom or simply Gei-Hinnom. In light of the sacrifices to the fire god, the latter name gave rise to the word "Gehenna," which over time became a synonym for hell. Early Jewish sages saw Isaiah 31:9, which speaks of God's "fire is in Zion" and "furnace in Jerusalem," as a reference to this valley, which they described as the gates of hell. The valley's other biblical name, Topheth, means inferno, adding to its image as a place of eternal torment.
On a more positive note, when the people of Judah returned from exile in around 538 BCE, according to Nehemiah, they took up "living all the way from Beer Sheva to the Valley of Hinnom" (11:29).
But the bad news continues. In the New Testament, this was the place where the chief priests bought a potters field with Judas Iscariot's infamous 30 pieces of silver. Not wanting to keep the money, they decided to use it to buy a burial place for foreigners. "That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day" (Matt. 27:6-8). The version of the story in Acts turns quite gory: "With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood"(1:18-19).
Bad press or not, the Valley of Hinnom is a big part of the history of Jerusalem. And despite what you may imagine from the grim description above, it also makes for one of the most picturesque walks you can take in the Holy City.
Begin your walk at the Scottish Church overlooking the Hinnom Valley. The church, which has a lovely guesthouse, was built in 1927 as a memorial to Scottish soldiers who died fighting in this region during World War I. The church sits on a hill where one of the most amazing archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem was made: a series of nine burial caves that had escaped looters because their ceilings had collapsed. In the early 1980s, Bar-Ilan University Professor Gabi Barkay and his team discovered hundreds of items that had been buried along with the deceased, apparently after the First Temple was destroyed in 586 BCE. Perhaps the most precious find was two tiny silver scrolls inscribed with the blessing from Numbers 6:24-26:
''The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and grant you peace.''
The road down into the valley crosses a bridge built in the 16th century. On your left is Sultan's Pool, a huge reservoir actually built by Herod the Great, but reconstructed in the early 16th century by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, who also built Jerusalem's walls. A water fountain dating from 1536 boasts an inscription praising Suleiman for his generosity to thirsty Jerusalemites.
To continue your stroll through Gehenna, head down into the depths of the valley past yawning caves that contain many tombs, some of which were inhabited by monks over the centuries. Somewhat bizarrely, until recently when the Israel Nature and Parks declared it off limits for X-treme sports-lovers, Jerusalemites could be found here testing their rappelling skills.
But going back to the monastic life, the centerpiece of a visit to the Valley of Hinnom is the Convent of Akeldema, which is the Aramaic word for "Field of Blood," bringing us back to the New Testament story quoted above. According to tradition, the convent (open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. - noon and 4 p.m. - 7 p.m.) is built over the site where tradition says Judas hanged himself. Dedicated to the fourth-century monk St. Onophrios, the convent's sunny courtyards, rebuilt over earlier ruins in 1874, have a wonderful view of the Mount of Olives and the Judean Desert.

The schedule is slow, but thats because you need to allow time for thorough discussion (and crackpot over-analysis) of each section and how it relates to past and future sections. It's not just about the rereading.
The threads will likely each evolve for days on here. Dont rush them.

Keep your schedule. I want to do this really bad, but I have a pile of other books I want to read. The long reread would allow me to work on those at the same time.

The little thing squirmed against him, as if it heard and understood. "No!" Brand cried out fiercly. "It's mine."
"Can't you hear it?" Bran could hear the wind in the trees, the clatter of their hooves on the ironwood planks, the whimpering of his hungry pup, but Jon was listening to something else.

Memorial service set for Oberst, Nov. 18
Posted November 12, 2006; 08:45 p.m.
A memorial service for Dan Oberst, a longtime staff member in the
Office of Information Technology (OIT), is planned for 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 18, in the Edith Memorial Chapel on the Lawrenceville
School campus.
Oberst died Nov. 9 after a year and a half battle with cancer. He was 58.
Oberst joined the OIT staff in 1987, and most recently was director of enterprise infrastructure services. Betty Leydon, vice president for information technology and chief information officer, said he was a leader in developing the University's core computing infrastructure, widely regarded as one of the finest in the country. He was respected for building a set of reliable services in the face of changing technologies, increasing demands, and growing threats and vulnerabilities.
"While his job was always challenging, he directed his group with great skill, enthusiasm and good humor," she said. "He approached his job, and his life, with insatiable curiosity, always wanting to know how things worked. He cared about the details. And he personified optimism, nowhere more so than in his fight with the disease that took him from us."
Beyond Princeton, Oberst was a key player in the major IT forums, such as EDUCAUSE and the Common Solutions Group. He contributed to the development of Bitnet (the precursor to the Internet) and later the Internet.
"Dan will be remembered as a vibrant, spirited and charming man," Leydon said. "He will be missed by all who knew him. His life, and his contributions, will long be remembered. Princeton, information technology and all of higher education have lost an important colleague and a cherished friend."
Oberst is survived by his wife, Marti Richmond of Lawrenceville, N.J.; two sons, Caleb of Philadelphia and Jesse of Tokyo; and a daughter, Keturah of Lee, Mass.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Kidney Cancer Association.
The Office of Information Technology also has organized a blood drive in Oberst's honor from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Nov. 30-Dec. 1, in the Frist Campus Center.
Following the memorial service on Nov. 18, there will be a reception on the Lawrenceville School campus. Directions to the school and chapel can be found online.
Those who wish to share their memories of Oberst are invited to visit a blog set up to celebrate his life.

FINDLAY, Ohio – Cooper Tire & Rubber reported record sales for the fourth quarter and for all of 2012.

Cooper's net sales for the fourth quarter were a record $1.1 billion, up 2 percent from the same period in 2011.
Net income was $73 million, or $1.15 a share, compared to $32 million, or 52 cents a share, a year earlier.
The company said fourth-quarter profit was aided by a $101 million reduction in raw material costs.

TUPELO – The hits just kept coming Thursday night. Unfortunately, not for Tupelo.
No. 5-ranked Northwest Rankin's bats produced 14 hits – six in a four-run third inning – to give the visiting Cougars an 8-3 victory in the first game of a best-of-three MHSAA Class 6A baseball playoff series.
The second game of the opening-round series is scheduled for 6 p.m. today at Northwest Rankin in Flowood. The Cougars defeated Vicksburg last week in a play-in series while Division 2 winner Tupelo received a bye.
"We just couldn't match their hitting," Tupelo coach Gary Enis said. "Even some of their outs were hit hard. Their No. 9 guy had three hits."
The Golden Wave (19-10) bats produced seven hits, but five of those came in the sixth and seventh innings.
Northwest Rankin (26-5) right-hander Wesley Watts no-hit Tupelo for 3 2/3 innings before surrendering a single to J.P. Stanzell.
The Cougars jumped on Golden Wave left-hander Hudson Roy in the third inning with six hits. Shelton Wallace had a two-run single and Kreg Garner and Will Neihaus RBI singles to give Northwest Rankin a 6-0 lead.
Neihaus had an RBI single in the first to give his team a 2-0 lead.
"We faced a great-hitting ballclub," Enis said. "They didn't swing and miss a whole lot."
Carter Clayton relieved Roy in the third and finished the game on the mound. He gave up six hits and recorded three strikeouts.
Northwest Rankin took an 8-0 lead in the sixth, scoring on an RBI single by Carter and a wild pitch.
Rob McAuley plated a run for Tupelo with a fielder's choice ground ball in the sixth.
Tupelo scored two in the seventh on three Northwest errors and singles by Michael Ray, William Drummond and Michael Hensley.

And it's easy to see how the technologically-inclined among us are lured by the convenience of the internet, and by the expansive capacity of cyberspace, and by the amazing science behind digitization. This is the way of the future, we hear. Digitize, digitize, digitize! And back up! Not once, not twice, but three times, and update your back-ups when the technology changes or every three years, whichever comes first. Password-protect it so the bad guys can't get it. Tell someone where you've hidden the password, so they can. Oh, if only your ancestors had done that! Imagine the happy dance you would have done when your complete genealogy appeared before you on a computer screen!
Consider this: when you're watching Who Do You Think You Are?, have you ever thought they've made the research look too easy? Have you ever thought, hey, the celebrity didn't seem very excited (I recall someone saying this after the recent Tim McGraw episode)? Well, what if the scenario were this:
It's the last game of a hard-fought season, and an athletic team (the Blue-Blooded Ancestor Hunters?) suddenly finds itself short by one member. Six players are required; they have only five. You're asked to fill in, even though you have no knowledge of the game. That doesn't matter, they assure you, the real team members will carry the ball and do the scoring. All you have to do is stand where the coach tells you to, and be counted. Some sort of reward is offered--fame? fortune? undying gratitude? some skeletons for your closet?--so you accept the deal. The team wins the game, and the highly-coveted blue ribbons are passed out to everyone on the team, including you. Tell me, how meaningful is that blue ribbon to you? Isn't it pretty much commensurate with how much you've invested in the game?Some people do genealogy because it's part of their religious practice. Some do it as a vocation. Many of us do it as an avocation and, oh, how we bristle if our pursuit is reduced to the lowly status of a mere hobby! No matter which category we fit into, though, I'd be willing to bet it's the thrill of the hunt that keeps us going, and that tantalizing prospect of another happy dance possibly just minutes away.
I started out doing genealogy the old-fashioned way. It was kind of like going big-game hunting. You had to go someplace to do it; you had to learn how to hunt; you had to plan ahead for your trip; you had to pack carefully and be prepared for anything, or nothing. It was an adventure.
The advent of digitization and online availability of records has made it a lot more like shooting fish in a barrel. A search engine, a name... BANG! Oh, look, another dead ancestor... no, two... three... But the number of records extant is finite. Sooner or later, all the fish in the barrel are gonna be floating belly-up. How long will it take? Another generation or two? When the barrel is passed on to your descendants, how much happy-dancing will there be when there's naught to do but dip out a couple thousand barcoded belly-up fish? How many of your descendants will be passionate about scanning the barcodes to look up those pedigree charts that you're so passionate about preserving? In fact, how many of your current, living relatives are passionate about it now?
The techiest of the techies see the world through tech-colored glasses. Everything, they insist, should and will be virtual in the future. Maybe they're right, I don't know. But I do know that not all people are computer-savvy now, nor will they all be computer-savvy in the future. And not all who are computer-savvy prefer to spend their time in the virtual world rather than the real world. Believe it or not, Kindle fans, some people still prefer a book with paper pages. Some would rather talk than tweet. Some would even... I know this will come as a surprise... some would even prefer to receive a bouquet of real flowers from a three-dimensional boyfriend rather than a virtual-bouquet icon from a Facebook app. Go figger!
In any case, it seems to me that it's a boon for everyone when the big players go digital with their records--and by big players, I mean any organization that has a body of records of the type we all seek as documentation for our family lines. I mean people who are in the records business (whether civil or commercial, profit or non-profit).
As for me, I'm what I would call a micro-player--gathering records (from people in the records business!) that pertain to my own lines only. For me it's not business, it's personal. And I'd be lying if I said I was doing it just to pass down to my descendants. If I can stir up their interest, so much the better, but the truth is that I have a hunter-gatherer gene that's tickled by this pursuit. I do it for the pleasure of the hunt.
I have decisions to make, then, along the way. Should I listen and learn from people with more skills, more experience, more credentials? Of course. Should I be grateful for what I learn from them? Most definitely. I am grateful. It's always better to be more informed. But should I then obediently follow all their advice?
Hell, no! I'm a grown-up. It's up to me to weigh what's been offered and make my own choices. I reserve the right to enjoy and/or employ cyberspace to whatever extent works best for me, along with the right to use real paper. Why? Because at this moment I can reach across my desk and pick up a book that was published in 1884, and it still works. Nobody had to take any particular pains to preserve it, and I don't need anything but daylight to be able to use it. Am I glad there's a copy of it in cyberspace? Yes, of course I am, that's how I discovered it and decided I wanted the real thing. And, yippee!, I was able to order the real thing for $25 and about five minutes of my time online, thanks to technology. Yep, technology is great. But am I gonna digitize everything in triplicate, pay to store it in cyberspace until I die or run out of money, and replace it triennially in case it's deteriorating?
Nope. Not today, thanks. But, reader, if it serves your purpose to do so, you go right ahead!
February Accomplishments
I've been working on books this month, as usual, but have extended my deadline for completing the Stone book.
And in the other column . . .
I still haven't vacuumed yet this year. See, the vacuum cleaner needs a new belt and, while I did order and receive said belt, I am still waiting to see if it will crawl in there of its own accord, or if I'm actually going to have to find my Phillips-head screw driver and put it in there myself. I'm all for giving it plenty of time to take the initiative.

But maybe with a new offensive corrdinator in Daboll and a newfound confidence and loosening of Henne's collar and some new faces like Reggie Bush, Clay, Gates, Pouncy and Thomas, Miami can put together and healthy winning season! Lets also try to keep everything in perspective! Heres to an injury free game and may the best team (Miami of course) Win!!!! Are you ready for some football????????
