The Bachelor might have just ended, but like most viewers at home, Chris Harrison is still wondering what the heck happened on Monday night.
At the end of the two-hour finale, Juan Pablo sent Clare home, ultimately choosing Nikki. The live audience applauded as Clare gave the Venezuelan a piece of her mind and were also dumb-founded as Nikki professed her love, only to have those feelings hardly reciprocated when he offered her the final rose. At the live After the Final Rose special, things only got more bizarre and tense as a defensive Juan Pablo refused to truly say whether or not he even loves Nikki and all but chided Harrison for asking the questions that anyone who stars on this show is supposed to be asked.
Season 9, Episode 12 Emotions run high as Desiree sits down to talk with Chris Harrison live, following the season finale. Brooks, Chris and Drew also discuss the shocking outcome of their journey.
Season 9, Episode 11 In the emotional conclusion, Desiree must decide if she can move forward with Chris or Drew, or if her hope of finding love has been ruined by Brooks' unexpected departure.
Season 9, Episode 10 Romantic adventures await Desiree and the final three men - Brooks, Chris and Drew - as they travel to the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua. There is electricity and passion in the air during these sand and surf excursions, as Desiree continues to explore what her future would be like with these potential partners. She will spend special intimate time with each of final guys, and there are possible invitations to spend the night in a "fantasy suite." But an unexpected jolt will change Desiree's whole journey - will her Cinderella fairytale have a happy ending, or is she headed for heartbreak?

Her nightmare is over: Andi Dorfman has been chosen as the next star of The Bachelorette.
"This is the first time it's starting to feel real," Andi said after the reveal on Monday's After the Final Rose special. "I feel all in, I'm mentally all in, emotionally all in. I'm in a place in my life where I'm so ready for this... At the end of the day I cannot wait to hopefully say, 'You are the one. '"
It's no secret there's been a ton of negativity surrounding this season of The Bachelor. But while fans, celebrity and otherwise, have shared their distaste for Season 18 star Juan Pablo, it's also been one of the most talked-about seasons in the series' 14-year history. Which begs the question: Does a detested Bachelor actually make for a more successful season?
The Bachelor: Where are they now?
Bachelorette alum DeAnna Pappas Stagliano and her husband Stephen have revealed the name of their baby girl.
If only the walls of The Bachelor's fantasy suite could talk.
What started out as a great date between Juan Pablo and Andi seemingly turned into a nightmare by the next morning. Although the former came away thinking the duo's evening together went well, Andi had a totally different take, later explaining that it was beyond awful. Andi later removed herself from the competition, but on the way out she tried (and failed) to explain to Juan Pablo why she felt he was inappropriate during the night. Plus: She straggled with how little Juan Pablo seemed to care that she was leaving.

County commissioners debate whether raises are warranted during a recession
Published 11:59am Thursday, October 22, 2009By JOHN EBY
Edwardsburg Argus
CASSOPOLIS – When dust stirred by discussion settled Thursday night, five Cass County elected officials had raises for 2010.
The Board of Commissioners had one less Democrat and another who favored reducing compensation.
The Elected Officials Salary Committee, chaired by Commissioner Minnie Warren, D-Pokagon Township, and also consisting of Commissioners Cathy Goodenough, R-Marcellus; Dixie Ann File, R-Cassopolis; Debbie Johnson, D-Niles; Carl Higley Sr., R-Edwardsburg; and Gordon Bickel, R-Constantine, met Aug. 20, Sept. 3 and Sept. 17.
At the Sept. 17 meeting, Higley moved that the committee recommend $1,238 for each of the elected officials, including Prosecutor Victor Fitz, Sheriff Joseph Underwood, Clerk-Register Barbara Runyon, Treasurer Linda Irwin and Water Resources Commissioner Bruce Campbell.
Raises passed on a 9-6 vote, with Chairman Robert Wagel, Goodenough, Bickel, Charlie Arnold, Higley, Vice Chairman Ron Francis, File, Clark Cobb and Warren voting in favor.
Bill Steele, David Taylor, Johnie Rodebush, Debbie Johnson and Ed Goodman – all Democrats – and Republican Robert Ziliak were opposed.
Goodman, of Silver Creek Township, said "it's time for a reality check."
Goodman also announced, "I'm going to be resigning from the Cass County Democratic Party and the Michigan Democratic and becoming an independent because of all the politics I've seen in the Republican and Democratic parties nationally, and even on our own board here.
"I've seen politics divide and I believe in America and in doing what's best for our community and working together. I'm an American first."
"I don't want to lay off any employees. I want to keep things status quo … Our state is facing another deficit and is looking wherever it can. Next year is projected to be short again. The state is poised to take our revenue sharing … and to shift more of the cost of mandated services to counties.
"This is not about do they deserve a raise or are they doing a good job," Goodman asserted. "We were elected to do a good job. And if we aren't, the voters should remove us. If you read the papers, you'll see Niles negotiated zero-percent raises. The Niles administrator hasn't received a raise in two years. There are many other communities that are doing the same."
"Our road commission, which we praise often," Goodman continued, "has cut its budget and frozen wages and benefits, cutting sick days from 12 to 10, and many other changes to be fiscally responsible. It's our turn to start now, to step up and follow these examples."
Taylor, D-Edwardsburg, said, "Our judges have not had a salary increase since 2000. They make pretty good salaries, there's no question about that, but they've been frozen for nine years. They get about $139,000 now. The real question there is how much they're going to cut their salaries. They're talking about lowering them to $119,000. Every judge in Delaware is taking a 2.5-percent decrease with no inflation over the last year. I think the size of our county is declining. It was 51,000 in the last census. I think we're going to come in closer to 50,000″ in 2010.
"We're getting a smaller county and people are hurting all over," Taylor continued. "Wages are going down – not up. This does not reflect on these people, but we're setting wages for the future as well as the past. I think those numbers need to come down."
Taylor requested a roll-call vote.
Johnson, D-Niles, served on the committee and, in voting no, had a change of heart since that panel met.
"They all do a spectacular job and they're wonderful people," she said.
"Issues were brought up in negotiations about morale. At that time, I agreed to this because I felt more with my heart and not my head. After sitting back and having more time to think about it, and taking my heart out of it and looking at it with my head, I no longer agree that I agree with" the raise recommendation.
"I think the people who put me in office would want me to vote this way, and I'm to represent them. I'm going to change to no," Johnson said.
Ziliak, R-Niles, said, "I'm really disappointed in the committee that came up with this conclusion to grant raises to elected officials. It wasn't three meetings ago we went into a closed session, which we can't discuss, but in your mind think about what we talked about, what we voted on and what we wanted to do. I say no! Let's set that course, stand our ground and do what we all agreed to do. You know what I'm talking about.
"I think the people on this committee should reconsider their commitment to this motion. They're not representing the rest of the commissioners who voted to do something else."
"We didn't vote," Higley said.
"We showed our hands," Ziliak responded. "The bottom line is we should refrain from giving raises at this time because I don't think we have the money to spend. I agree wholeheartedly with Commissioner Goodman's opening statement."
Warren, D-Pokagon Township, defended her panel's conclusion.
"I still think we cannot sit here and say no," she said. "I hear what you're saying, but there are going to be some negotiations we can't say no on. We're going to have to negotiate."
"That's right," Higley, R-Edwardsburg, agreed.
"We can't lock out everyone," Warren said, "and I will be voting for this."
Steele, D-Calvin Township, commented, "My heart says they all deserve the money. I don't have an issue with that. They do a hard job. But, if you watch the news, we're taking a hard line on seniors. They're not getting a cost-of-living increase at all."
"They're getting $250," Warren shot back.
"We're talking about more here," Steele said, "and saying no to people who are already deciding between food and medicine? Before tonight I would have voted yes, but now I've got to vote no now because I feel like we're mistreating our seniors."
"The chair will point out that the City of Dowagiac gave the city clerk and treasurer 2.25-percent increases in salary" last Monday night, stated Wagel, R-Wayne Township.
"I served on the committee," Higley said, "and I'll tell you what. We've got a bunch of people here who are doing a good job for us, and I don't care what you people say. We do have the money and can do that without hurting our budget. Fact is, that money is in the budget to do this. And when it comes to saying we weren't going to do this in a closed session, that's definitely not true. When we make a decision in committee and vote on it," then back off, "it disturbs me a little bit. When I give my word, it's my pledge. I don't break my word. These people deserve something. If we do nothing for them, when we do have the money in the budget, morale is down. This is going to help it. We've got good people. Let's keep them and treat them like people. Prices are going up on a lot of things."
"It's not my position, and hasn't been my position, that we're short on funds and we're under budgetary constraints when I oppose these salary increases," Taylor said. "I oppose them because salaries should be coming down and not going up. We bring in more money in taxes than we pay out in general fund expenses due to the frugal movements of all of our elected officials and department heads. I got another $95.70 from the State of Michigan because I'm old. I'm over 65. Yet they say up in Lansing they don't have money. Let's take away some of these silly exclusions."
Committee member Bickel, R-Constantine, said, "I think these elected officials deserve a wage increase because of the good job they've done. If it wasn't for them, we might not be able to give them a wage increase. This is not a lot of an increase, I grant, but it is something."

The Delta County Commissioners have approved a pilot recycling program. The recycling center will be located at the county's integrated solid waste transfer station located three miles southeast of Hotchkiss off Highway 92 on K50 Road.
It is open to all Delta County residents and businesses at no cost.
The recycling center will accept a fairly wide assortment of recyclables to include corrugated cardboard, mixed paper to include office paper, newspaper, shredded paper, etc., clear and all colors of glass bottles and jars, aluminum, steel, and tin cans, and finally plastics #1-7.
The transfer station's hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Recycling hours are Tuesday-Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please remember that the transfer station has primarily been a conduit for the North Fork neighborhoods to get their solid waste trash to the county's Adobe Buttes Landfill without having to make the long drive. Except for vehicle batteries and used oil, all other material accepted there is on its way to the landfill. Therefore, if you plan on bringing a combined load of recyclables and solid waste trash to the facility, please keep your recyclables separated from the solid waste trash. The operator will be able to continue to make his volume assessment much faster that way, charge you for disposing only of the solid waste trash and get you on your way.
Please just follow the operator's instructions and the signs and the process should be fairly simple to get you in and out while turning former landfill waste into recyclable products.

Hot answers tagged intoxication
There are, of course, a lot of explanations about what happened here and what this story means.
Shaloh (Torah Shebichsav, Tetzaveh) states that Rabbah brought R. Zeira to a level of Divine understanding, and with that divestment from his physical body, beyond his capabilities. As for the term "slaughtered" (שחיטה), he compares it to the phrase וישחטם במדבר ...
Ben Ish Chai identifies two understandings of this aggada: (1) It's literal interpretation in which Rabba actually slaughters R' Zeira, and (2) the "explanation of the kabbalists", in which Rabba and R' Zeira were discussing esoteric secrets of the Torah, and Rabba's soul in some way triumphed over his R' Zeira's, in some sense "unraveling" his soul. (Don't ...
A drunk person should not slaughter, but if he did anyhow, as long as the technique was proper, the slaughter would still be good. In fact, even if he was so completely drunk as to be not cognizant of his actions ("as drunk as Lot") and he'd have the same halachic status as someone insane; the halacha is if someone insane did slaughter, and used the proper ...
Preferably one should not do so, though after the fact his tefillah is valid - unless one is so drunk that "he would be unable to talk before a king," and then his tefillah in such a state is invalid. (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 99:1)
Rema (ibid. :3) comments that "we're not concerned about slight drunkenness" when it comes to present-day wines (which are ...
The Gemara (Eruvin 64a):
אמר רב יהודה אמר שמואל שתה רביעית יין אל יורה
R. Judah stated in the name of Samuel: He who has drunk a quarter of a
log of wine must not give a [halachic] ruling.
The Rambam (Hil. Bias Mikdash 1:3):
וכשם שאסור לכהן להכנס למקדש מפני השכרות כך אסור לכל אדם בין כהן בין
ישראל להורות כשהוא שתוי
And just as it is ...
It seems pretty clear that 'Ad DeLo Yada' is fulfilled through alcohol, not wine per se. I've heard that wine is preferable, and even that one does not fulfill the requirement if one gets drunk on whisk(e)y. This seems very strange to me, as the point is to get so joyfully drunk that one is unable to distinguish between two polar opposite characters. Unless ...
Most solutions to this question involve either a compromise on drunkenness, or on prayer. Either you can follow one of the opinions which allow you to fulfil the obligation of drinking without actually getting drunk (Rema, M"B) or an opinion that allows you to pray while drunk (see @Gershon Gold's citation from Nitei Gavriel. I didn't know there was a ...
This question is hard to answer the same for everyone. People function differently when they drink. Nitei Gavriel Hilchos Purim 73:3 discusses one who will be unable to preform the required Mitzvos should either not drink, or drink only a bit at the Seuda. Nitei Gavriel Hilchos Purim 73:5 also mentions one should be careful not to drink so much, that he will ...
Even if there is a "psychedelic community" in Israel that approves of "magic mushrooms," that is not an indication that Judaism approves of it. In nearly every country there is a small group of people obsessed with psychedelic drugs, and they pretty much approve of them all. Since they are ideologues, they have no credibility. Don't listen to them.
These ...
RaMBa"M, Hil. Shehitah 4:5 puts a drunk person in the same category as a Heresh, Shoteh and Katan, who have no Da'ath, but whose Shehitah is valid if done under supervision.
See my answer to this question about age limits.
Maybe the reason to fall asleep specifically through the process of drinking wine is to remember the miracle which was done through wine at the different wine parties in the Book of Esther as outlined here: Can you use Liquor to fulfill Ad Dlo Yoda?
EDIT: I challenge your assumption that the two rules are separated. The Rambam writes in Megillah 2:15:
I'm not sure the Elya Rabba really has a 'position'. He writes (669:20):
פה פראג נוהגים לעלות במוסף, רק בבית הכנסת פנחס נוהגים בשחרית כמ"ש המנהגים [הל' שמיני עצרת]:
Here in Prague the custom is to go up at Musaf, except in the Pinchas Synagogue they only go up at Shacharit.
He is just observing the custom in the different synagogues in his town. ...
The Talmud (Sanhedrin end of 70a) alludes to Adam drinking wine - although it isn't exactly clear how that would work given the time frame - saying that Noach should have stayed away from wine, learning from Adam with the sin of the Eitz Hadaas which was caused by wine - according to the opinion that the tree was a grape vine.
The Mitzvah isn't to pass out or even to space out. The Mitzvah is one of Simhah. The Gemara, in my opinion, is simply saying that the revelry ought to be great. Asked to quantify it, it just went for the most extreme. I think it is, essentially, a license to get totally hammered. Not as a Mitzvah in and of itself, but rather as a function, or a measure, of ...
I'll go you one better - if the purpose is to not know the difference between "arur Haman" and *"baruch Mordechai", why bother drinking or sleeping at all?
Of course, I'm not referring to the highly intelligent community that patronizes this site, but do you really think that most of the rest of us really know the difference while we're sober?
This is ...
Machzor Vitri Siman 465 starts with the words, "ליל שיכורים הוא" (my rough translation) "A night of drunkenness is tonight." I don't know how literally this piyut is meant to be taken, but it does mention wine. I've never seen it brought down by any Acharonim, so I don't know if it has any standing leHalacha.
Rav Shmuel Kamentsky holds one can use anything (kovetz Halachos perek 18:11).
He discusses many sources including the Tur, Shulchan Aruch, Chayei Adam, and more poskim. He also cites the Aruch Hashulchan 695:5 with a savorah of one could use יי"ש but shouldn't for other reasons. He also discusses Minchas Elazar 695 בשבילי דוד and the קהילות יעקב.
The Gemara says (Megila 7b) "Hayab Inish LeBisumi Ad Delo Yada...- a man must get drunk until he doesn't know..." However, in that statement it doesn't mention wine. Wine is usually the methodology used but I don't see any Mamashut to it being MeIkar HaDin (i.e. not MeChuyav).
One of my Rabbanim (who I was told is a Posek) says wine is unnecessary and that ...
Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky in Kovetz Halchos pg 129 writes that a woman is obligated to drink a rivies of wine on Purim,and she can fulfill this obligation with grape juice(see footnote231).
In footnote 230 he holds that since women are obligated in all the mitzvos if the day they are also obligated in drinking a little wine,but to drink alot of wine is an issur ...
The statement is made in what appears to be an addendum to the 6th letter printed at the end of Ateres Tzvi (the Zitishover's commentary on the Zohar). He makes two similar statements equating drinking on Purim to fasting for 6 days. He does not source the idea but compares it to the fasting of Mar b'rei d'Ravina (of which I am unfamiliar).
From here:
The Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De'ah 1:8) states that one who becomes as drunk as Lot (see Genesis, ch. 19) may not slaughter. One who has not reached this stage of inebriation may slaughter at the outset. The Rama rules more stringently, stating that a person should never slaughter when drunk, for it is likely that he will disqualify the ...
Per the Gevuras Yitzchok - Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok Sortzkin there is a Mitzva to drink all day.
וכמו״כ נראה דביום י״ד דחל על היום חלות דין יום שמחה חיובו להיות שמח וטוב לב, והוא חיוב
תדיר על כל שעה ושעה מהיום
It is acceptable to proceed with chazarat hashatz, etc. if one of the 10 men making the minyan is still davening the silent shmoneh esrei, or even if one is asleep and cannot be woken, as long as there are still 6 men paying attention. This may not be a completely analogous case, and I could not find a definitive answer to your question, but I would guess ...
R' David Silverberg discusses some non-literal interpretations:
The Maharsha explains that Rava urged Rabbi Zeira to drink during the Purim festivities, to the point where Rabbi Zeira took seriously ill. Rava then prayed on his colleague's behalf and Rabbi Zeira recovered from his intoxication. According to this reading, the Gemara relates this story ...
Shulchan Aruch, OC 235:4, reads:
One who reads the evening "Sh'ma" after the rise of amud hashachar [roughly: "dawn"] before sunrise has not fulfilled his obligation, unless he was compelled [to read it so late]: for example, if he was drunk, sick, or the like.
Mishna B'rura 31 comments:
Even if he got drunk after the time of reciting "Sh'ma" has ...
In short:
The Megillah says that they established "these days" (of Purim) as days of feasting and celebration. The Rambam says that we fulfill the obligation by becoming intoxicated. The Lubavitcher Rebbe says that since the days were established as days of feasting, it's possible to say the obligations of feasting (including intoxications) apply the whole ...
The Shulchan Aruch (OC 695:2) writes:
One must become drunk on Purim until he doesn't know the difference between "arur Haman" and "baruch Mord'chay".
The Rama (ad loc.) adds:
But some say that he need not get so drunk: rather, he should drink more than his custom and sleep; because he's sleeping, he doesn't know the difference between "arur Haman" ...

"Maybe their problem is that they've confused scientific theory/the scientific method with fan speculation? That would explain a lot. Like, they saw how scientists use facts taken from the world around them to prove or disprove their theories of How Shit Works and thought they could do the same with fandom. Unfortunately for them, fandom is less like biology and more like theology. Or rather, theology in a world where the deities who hand down sacred texts are unarguably real, everyone knows they're real, and they exist in physical form within the mortal world, which they directly interact with on a daily basis. You can argue your interpretation all you want, but if your deity tells you you're wrong, then you're wrong. No if's, and's or but's."

When nature calls at 60 stories up, workers typically use the familiar portable toilet, with its blue deodorizing chemicals. But at the Freedom Tower, workers are going green: They're using composting toilets so that all that waste doesn't go to waste. PM dons a hard hat and steel-toe boots to show you how it works.

In nature, the nutrients and energy within human waste mix with soil and become plant food. But normal toilets don't capture those nutrients; instead, they dump sewage into oceans and waterways. Composting toilets get rid of waste in a more natural way, producing a rich soil in the process.

Fact #1: Israel and Hamas are fighting because both sides want things they probably can't get.
It's going to be almost impossible to find a lasting diplomatic situation to the Gaza crisis. Like,scary impossible.
Israel wants a Greater Israel, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. So they're actively settling the West Bank in spite of its Palestinian government, and reacting to any pushbackstrongly.
Israel also wants to protect its national security at all costs. Missiles fired at it from Gaza run counter to that. The Israelis don't want a bunch of dangerous missiles bouncing around near their border, because bouncing missiles tend to…well…

Darkest Hour Biography
Darkest Hour is a melodic death metal/metalcore band currently signed to Victory Records. The band is officially based in Washington, DC, but several of the members live in Richmond, Virginia. Their sound is akin to classic European metal acts such as At the Gates and In Flames, but it is noted for the incorporation of elements of punk and hardcore music. Over the years they have toured with many influential acts, including The Crown, ZAO, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Thrice, and Soilwork. They also played 2004's Ozzfest. History The band began as the conception of guitarist Mike Schleibaum. There were various member changes before a first line-up emerged and the band played its first show on September 23rd, 1995, when most of the members were still in high school. In addition to Mike Schleibaum, the original lineup consisted of vocalist John Henry, drummer Matt Maben, and bassist Raul Mayorga. This version of the band released much darker and slower brooding music compared to their current, melodic metal sound. Their original sound has been compared to bands such as Bloodlet and Damnation a.d., who were undoubtedly both influences. The band released its very first CD, The Misanthrope, in the summer of 1996 on tiny local label Death Truck Records. In 1998 Darkest Hour released another EP entitled The Prophecy Fulfilled, on the slightly-less-tiny DC label Art Monk Construction. The new EP marked the beginning of the evolution of Darkest Hour's sound, specifically the introduction of the Swedish metal influence. This sound solidified with the addition of drummer Ryan Parrish, bassist Billups Allen, and second guitarist Fred Ziomek, culminating in the band's first full-length LP, The Mark of the Judas, which was released in the summer of 2000. Because their sound has changed so much, the band tends to quietly ignore their first EPs and instead refers to The Mark of the Judas as "our first record". The Mark of the Judas was a major step for Darkest Hour, and many fans continue to say it is their favorite Darkest Hour album, but the record was not widely distributed or promoted because the label that released it, M.I.A. Records, went out of business shortly after the album's release. However, the band had garnered enough attention at that point to catch the ear of Victory Records, who scooped them up after M.I.A.'s collapse. Darkest Hour released their Victory debut, So Sedated, So Secure, in 2001. After the release of So Sedated, Billups was replaced by Paul Burnette on bass, and Fred also left the band. Darkest Hour continued to tour with Schleibaum's longtime friend Mike Garrity filling in on second guitar while they looked for a permanent replacement. When they finally accepted Ryan's old friend Kris Norris as the new permanent guitar player, they began to write the next record. Kris's influence on the songwriting caused a shift away from the band's hardcore influences to a more purely metal sound. This shift was amplified when the band chose to record their next album with noted Swedish metal producer Fredrik Nordström. As a result, 2003's Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation gained much more attention from the traditional metal scene, to the point that Darkest Hour was asked to play 2004's Ozzfest. Interestingly, even though Hidden Hands marks the decline of the band's hardcore influence, it is the first Darkest Hour album with overtly political lyrics, with several songs criticizing American militarism post-September 11th. Darkest Hour are notorious for on-stage ferocity, taut guitar interplay and enraged vocals that outline the hypocrisy and casual brutality of politics and society. Their prior releases on Victory Records set benchmarks in the genre as the band embraced the DIY ethics of the hardcore scene and the technical skill of metal, galvanizing their own path and earning fans from both sides of the fence. While Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation (2003) attacked the duplicity of government, So Sedated, So Secure (2001) skewered organized religion and rampant commercialism. On Undoing Ruin, the latest chapter in the Darkest Hour story, themes of healing and moving forward are prevalent. "It's our first album that isn't overtly political, though we did record "District Divided" which deals with the rapid gentrification in our hometown, Washington DC," commented guitarist Mike Schleibaum, "The album is about change, personal and musical. The name, Undoing Ruin, fit the concept – it's about making life worth living again." Undoing Ruin was produced by Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad at Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver. Townsend, famous for his work in his own band as well his production role with Lamb of God and Soilwork, brought new definition to the signature Darkest Hour sound. "Unlike what some might think, Devin didn't try to change our sound, but honed it, and helped us make a more concise album. He also was able to bring out the atmospheric side when it was needed and the shred side when it was called for." explained Schleibaum. The result is an album that's the most introspective and musically intricate work by the band to date, while maintaining their signature raw intensity. The band is still continuing to develop their sound as they work on their fourth album, entitled "Deliver Us". Also produced by Townsend, the album will be released on July 10th. The band will also be taking part in the 2007 Sounds of the Underground tour with GWAR, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, Every Time I Die, Job for a Cowboy, and many others. The bands new album "The Eternal Return" was released on June 23, 2009 on Victory Records. This is their last album they are under contract to produce with Victory.

This year\'s draft is even weaker than last year\'s, which was weak. Any time 2 of the top for are Andrew Bogut and an non-point guard playing point guard like Deron Williams, the draft is weak. Deron Williams would definitely go ahead of Brandon Roy.I hear so much about the 2006 draft being so weak, but I don\'t really believe thats the case. Of course there isn\'t a Shaq or a LeBron or a Greg Oden out there thats going to turn a franchise around, but lets compare it to last years draft.
If last year\'s #1 Andrew Bogut were in this year\'s draft, would he be the top pick overall again? I have my doubts, if you\'re looking for a bigman, then you would probably take LaMarcus Aldridge over Bogut. Aldridge clearly has more defensive potential than Bogut.
would last year\'s #2 Marvin Williams go that high in this year\'s draft? If you\'re looking for a high flying, sky walking forward, could you really take him ahead of other athletes like Rudy Gay or Tyrus Thomas? Very doubtful. Both of these guys have the athleticism of Marvin Williams and Rudy clearly has a more developed game.
last year\'s #3, Deron Williams? :laugh: seriously, he\'d be lucky to be top 10 in this draft.

Montana extended the lead back to 70-60 with 2:58 to go. Montana State came back with an 8-1 run, but couldn't get a shot off on its last possession as Antonio Biglow was called for charging with 3.3 seconds to play.
Spencer Coleman and Kareem Jamar both had 14 points for the Grizzlies, who made 11 of 22 3-pointers compared to just 3 of 14 for the Bobcats.Christian Moon had 14 points for Montana State.

Ozone Update
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 02 March 2005 16:57
- Written by Susan Capparelle
This month, we'll be reporting on four different facilities that choose to add ozone to their procedures, and hearing how the technology is working for them.
"If I was in the hospital I would want my sheets done in ozone not chlorination," said John Conley and he ought to know. He's been overseeing the use of ozone technology for the past 5 years in his capacity as Assistant Director of Engineering at the Sagamore Resort in Lake George, NY.
Not only are the resort's towels fluffier and whiter due to ozonation but, according to Conley, staff infections are eliminated. "It's been proven under chlorination you can still find active staff infections but not with ozone," he said. "With ozone being an oxidizer, its a proven killer for bacteria."
And then there are the savings. Since installing 6 new Continental washers along with an ozone system by Ozone Water Technology, the resort laundry, which handles 1.5 million pounds a year, has cut their water use by 50 percent. Since they can wash at lower temperatures (65-70 degrees versus 140 degrees prior to using ozone) there are also utility savings.
"We have also seen a reduction in the chemicals we are using," said Conley. Further, drying time is cut down due to the new low 17 percent moisture content of laundry coming out of the new washers compared to the earlier 40 percent.
ST. JOSEPH LIVING CENTER , WINSTED, Ct.
"We've been using ozone technology since June 2004 and in that six months we've cut our chemical costs in half, " said Faith Bauer, Director of Housekeeping and Laundry at St. Josephs' Living Center, a 120-bed nursing home in Winsted, CT.
But that's not the only place they're saving money since installing three 60-pound Edro Dyna Wash washers with DynOzone. Monthly chemical costs in the OPL, which handles 1,800 pounds of laundry a day, went from $480 down to $270 while machine loads per machine went from 14 down to 10. Water usage at the facility has fallen from 4297 cubic foot in 2003 to 3642 cubic foot in 2004 and electrical usage fell from 421,200 KWh in 2003 to 406,524 KWh in 2004, according to Bauer.
"You can't use chlorine bleach with ozone so we use oxidized bleach which is hydrogen peroxide and that combination is better at disinfecting and makes clothes hypoallergenic," said Bauer who added that linen was lasting longer. "We no longer have to wash clothes twice for those with sensitive skin, for example once with chlorine bleach to disinfect and then again without." And according to Bauer, "The peroxide makes the clothes softer."
ST. JOSEPH'S MANOR , TRUMBULL , Ct.
For Mike Sicola, laundry manager for 19 years at the 296-bed nursing home, St. Joseph's Manor, in Trumbull, CT, one of the nicest things about using ozone, besides the savings, is the fresh smell it brings to an often not so pleasant environment.
"When we first had the ozone installed it almost eliminated the odor in the laundry," he said. "It smells like citrus." Another benefit is the fact that they can achieve clean results on heavily soiled incontinent products using low temperature.
The facility handled 1.7 million pounds of laundry last year with the help of four 125-pound Washex washers, one 35-pound Unimac washer, four 170-pound Unimac dryers, two Braun small piece folders and ozone technology by Wet Tech.
Besides the 25-30 percent savings in detergent use the laundry is now also saving a great deal of hot water since they can wash effectively in water as low as 60 degrees compared to the pre-ozone required temperature of 140-145 degrees.
Still the initial wash water has to be heated to 160 degrees. "If we didn't have the ozone technology we would need 2000 gallons of water an hour at 120 degrees to get a rate of rise to reach 160 degrees," explained Mike Ceresa, plant engineer. "Currently we can maintain with 1,080 gallons of water an hour at 120 degrees to reach 160 degrees."
ADVENTIST MEDICAL CENTER , PORTLAND , Ore.
After just one year of using a loop ozone system by Purotek, the Adventist Medical Center in Portland, OR has saved a total of $37,000 on utility and some chemical costs according to Steve Raffaele, laundry manager.
"We don't wash anything above 110 degrees now," he said. "We also no longer use a boiler, now we just use a water heater."
The laundry handles 2 million pounds of laundry a year for the hospital as well as 22 other clinics and a nursing home. "When we first put the ozone system in it didn't work well because we were using too many chemicals," said Raffaele. "Now we're using 40 percent less chemicals than we did before." Other plusses include whiter, softer linens, the elimination of softener and a quicker drying time.
"It helps to have good water," said Raffaele. "Out here in the Northwest our water doesn't have a lot of chemicals and byproducts in it. Ozone will go in and if the water is dirty that will delete the ozone and you will have to use more in your wash."

US nearly had an internet in 1965
But it was nothing like the glorious plan that Western Digital had in 1965 because the outfit was relying on the electric power grid as its business model. -

Hard drive prices remain stubbornly high
It has been more than nine months since Thailand was inundated by the heaviest flooding in the country's recent history. The disaster took a massive toll on the Thai economy and it managed to affect global markets as well, with one sector particularly hard hit. -

Western Digital reckons its revenues will hit $1.8 billion in December, up from between $1.05 billion and $1.25 billion back in October. Seagateindicated that it too had been recovering from the floods.

Almost everyone loves pizza, but why settle for those high price pizzari pizzas or those hard as rock frozen pizzas when you can make your own delicious and inexpensive chicken ranch pizza right at home. Chicken Ranch pizza is simple and easy to make and finding a recipe is as easy as visiting the Sargento cheese website.
What Makes Chicken Ranch Pizza So Good?
While most people would agree that both the chicken and the ranch dressing are must haves for this pizza it really is the cheese that makes this pizza so good. The Sargento chicken ranch pizza is either made with shredded pizza double cheese or a combination of Shredded Mozarella and shredded cheddar cheese.
Other ingredients in this recipe includes bacon bits and green onions. Try out this recipe and your family will agree that this is one of the very best pizzas they have ever eaten far cheaper than take out pizza and more tasty than frozen pizza and best of all since you make this pizza at home you can enjoy all those lovely ingredients including that ooey gooey cheese while it is piping out for that fresh from the oven goodness.
Add a Few Extra Ingredients
While the recipe on the sargento website is definitely tasty for those who enjoy their pizzas loaded with ingredients here are a few more you can add for an even better taste.
• Mushrooms
• sun dried tomatoes
• Ham
• Parmesan cheese
Low Calorie Chicken Ranch Pizza For Those Who Are Watching Their Waistline
For you people who think you can't enjoy chicken ranch pizza because you need to watch those calories think again. It is easy to make low calorie single serving chicken ranch pizza that tastes as good as the full calorie version. Instead of a pizza crust try using a portabella mushroom cap for crust. Then make your own low fat dressing using yogurt and low fat mayo and low fat buttermilk, then simply use the rest of the ingredients that the original recipe calls for. By reducing most of calories contained in the pizza crust and using a lower calorie ranch dressing you can cut out about half the calories contained in the original recipe.
Whether you try the full calorie version of that chicken ranch pizza or the lower calorie version you will be amazed at just how easy this pizza is to make and how great it really tastes. You may never want to go back to bought pizzas again.

Perhaps the titleJan 25, 2013View SourceThanks for posting this, Lenarda. I don't know how I missed it earlier, since it was published in my own Canadian back yard five years ago. Perhaps the title threw me off because I imagined a narrow focus on one small element of the tragedy. However, a quick scan of the first few pages shows the book includes a thorough setting of background history that could aid fuller understanding of the big picture.
At more than 300 pages, it will not make for light reading and I have saved it for a long, leisurely read when I can give it the time it demands.
Another gem that you uncovered and shared with the group. Excellent.

Subject: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] NEIGHBOURS ON THE EVE OF THE HOLOCAUST (1939-1941)
On the sixtieth anniversaryof the mass deportationof hundreds of thousandsof Polish citizens to the GulagTo the memory of countless victimsof Communist oppressionperpetrated by the organsof the Soviet Unionand local collaboratorsM. T. poswiecam......................close cooperation between the NKVD and the Gestapo. Lists of Poles slated forexecution were carefully compiled, traded and expanded.3Contacts between those two organizations intensified and meetings were called to discuss how best tocombat Polish resistance and eradicate Polish national existence. A joint instructional centre for officers ofthe NKVD and the Gestapo was opened at Zakopane in December 1939. The decision to massacre Polishofficers at Katyn (transliterated as Katyn in Polish) was taken concurrently with a conference of highofficials of the Gestapo and NKVD convened in Zakopane on February 20, 1940. While the Sovietsundertook the extermination of captured Polish officers, the Germans carried out, from March 31, a parallel"Operation AB" aimed at destroying Poland's elites.4This partnership did not remain a secret for long. On September 19th, Pravda published a Soviet-Germancommuniqué confirming the joint role of Hitler's and Stalin's armies in the invasion of Poland. OnSeptember 30th, Pravda proudly announced to millions of its readers that "German-Soviet friendship is nowestablished forever." In a speech delivered before the Supreme Soviet on October 31st, VyacheslavMolotov, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, openly applauded the destruction of Poland:And also –On September 17th, as thePolish armies were regrouping in the southeast, the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir P. Potemkin, handed anote to the Polish ambassador in Moscow, Wacław Grzybowski, claiming that Warsaw no longer existed as the capitalof Poland, and that the Polish government had collapsed (neither was true). See Cienciala, The Rise and Fall ofCommunist Nations, 1917–1994, chapter 4, V.Also and –Because of a lack of understanding of the Holocaust in its broadest terms, writers have perpetuated thestereotypical view of the anti-Semitic Pole as the primary or even the sole explanation for Polish attitudes andbehavior toward the Jews during World War II. …Television has reinforced the negative image of the Poles too. In one installment of the television version ofHerman Wouk's Winds of War, Heinrich Himmler informs Adolf Hitler that 3,000 men and officers of theEinsatzgruppen are ready to kill the Jews in Russia. They will be the organizers, says Himmler, but the localpopulation will execute the job, and there are "plenty of volunteers" in Poland. The same impression was leftwith the NBC adaptation of Gerald Green's Holocaust, which focused almost exclusively on the Jewishtragedy and ignored the plight of Poles, who, when depicted, were seen essentially in a negative light.[Another example is William Styron's Sophie's Choice, which falsely claims that a Polish scholar pioneeredthe idea of murdering Jews in gas chambers long before the Nazis came to power in Germany.—M.P.]If novelists and publicists perpetuate distortions of the Poles and their history, one would at least hope forbetter in the writings of historians. Unfortunately, it is disquieting to read most writings on the Holocaust,because the subject of Polish-Jewish relations is treated so polemically. Preoccupied with the overwhelmingtragedy of the Jews, Jewish historians, who are the major writers on the subject, rarely if ever attempt toqualify their condemnations of the Poles and their defense of the Jews. The result is tendentious writing thatis often more reminiscent of propaganda than of history. Despite the scholarly pretensions of many of theseworks—and there is genuine scholarship in some of these books—they have contributed little to a betterunderstanding of the complexity and paradox of Polish-Jewish wartime relations.Full article link below -Lenarda, Australia - Rys, keep posting, as Mark has said, you do this in a very amicable way, it is good to hear story from witness, direct or indirect through parentage. Not allJan 26, 2013View Source
Rys, keep posting, as Mark has said, you do this in a very amicable way, it is good to hear story from witness, direct or indirect through parentage. Not all research is pleasant and we need to be aware of all suffering and joy, from our members, this is why we are here, why we exist. For the common purpose of research and remembrance, regardless of who we are and where we come from, agreeing, respecting and working together, to open the eyes of the world to the horrors and this is a big job, as they always try to cover up, hoping the cries of the survivors will stop and we will walk around like a mindless people, not knowing who we are, where we come from and supposedly be happy with this and not bother the world population and allow more horrors to continue in other countries, regardless of nationality or religion.
We have voice, we have records, we have truth in witness, history to reveal and research to discover, letting the world know what happened and that we exist, we are the survivors of the Soviet and German oppression, the people from the Colonies, the Kresy and in the future, schools, classrooms, children will be using the material we put forward and books will be written with the truth. We are the thorn in Stalin's side as what happened is a blot on history and should never be forgotten.
My two daughters in their Higher School Curriculum, studied compulsory subject of Communist Oppression, which included the borderlands and invasion of Poland and then went on to other countries beyond the Polish borders. Now after they have finished school, they keep up to date, by information supplied and put forward by KS Group, as more and more truth is revealed and will be revealed as more information becomes available. They know who they are and where they come from and this has contributed so much, in a positive manner to their personal development and understanding of others. This is one of the purposes of KS and thanks to the vision of Stefan and others, we are achieving this, so our loved ones lost will never be forgotten and we the survivors have a voice and are not shunted under the carpet.
All we have to do is research, record the truth, with dignity and respect and it will be read by the others and they will slowly open their eyes. (I do not give up, it will happen) We are the drop of water on the rock, never stopping and we will make our mark and be visible and believed in telling the truth as survivors, by working together and following the values set by the founders of this amazingly, wonderful group.
Today, in Sydney Australia, we have rain and even the grass is happy. The rest of Australia is still suffering from crazy weather and fires. It is a land of extremes and you have to understand this land to live in this land, but somehow the people live in relative harmony, aside from the crazy weather. We have just finished celebrating Australia Day yesterday 26th January and I had the honour of burying a survivor, of the German/Polish War, who hated Khrushchev and Baryshnikov, so much, their name could not be mentioned in our home, my father, on Australia Day, 29 years ago and now, because of group, I understand his pain.
Warmest regards,

I also want to say that when reading your article, I thought it was good that you had a place to tell it to people who would appreciate it. That to me was the striking part, not looking for any chance to beat up some faceless persons for their race. Our wise members made sense of all that and just protect the group for all of our good.

Subject: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] Re: NEIGHBOURS ON THE EVE OF THE HOLOCAUST (1939-1941)As I said, my mt-DNA shows a 97% match for Ashkanazi Jew, so I cannot be accused of racism or religious prejudice. My dad tells how the Russian soldier told them (in response to "where are we going") "pack some warm clothes because you're going to Siberia", whilst the Jewish neighbour said "you're going to see your God". They obviously confused and worried by these two accounts and feared the worst.
Even whilst they were packing, their remaining things were being catalogued and removed by their Jewish neighbour. Its a story I have heard from many ex-Kresy inhabitants (in their recollections over a bottle or two of Wodka).
I actually wrote another paragraph in my last posting about a great uncle of mine that died last year. He was in Birkanau and Auswitz; stamped with the lottery numbers on his arm. He was catholic and Polish, simply arrested by the Germans. His accounts differ SHARPLY from the now established line - I will say no more publicly on this except that he trusted the Germans would not harm him.
Lots is assumed and presumed and many tales emerge, thankfully, I've had first hand accounts from my family and form my opinions from these.

> I don't want to sound anti-Jewish here, mainly because I have no direct experience of what happened but just the words of my family. A few weeks before 10th February 1940, local Jews came to my father's house and told my grandmother (granddad was interned in Lithuania by now) to get out because the Russians are coming and they weren't wanted there. When she asked where she was supposed to go she was told "why don't you ask your God". They went some 20km to her mother's house in Trokiele. My dad remembers that after about 3 weeks, the "all clear" was sounded and they returned to their farm just outside Smorgonie. All their furniture was taken and they were told that this was done by the local Jews. On the 10th February, when they came to arrest them, there was a Russian officer and a local Jew. The same story from my mother near Baranowice. On 10th February, 3 people, 2 Russian soldiers and a local Jew. On my mums side, my granddad always said
> that whenever he had livestock to sell, he would first have to seek the "approval" of a Jew who would then fix a price; if they wanted money, it could only be borrowed from a Jew. The whole economy was controlled by the Jewish population. On the 10th February, my dad's sister was left behind at her grandma's and later, my dad heard from her (whilst in Siberia). She told of when the Germans had advanced. She said that they came to her and asked her to identify their livestock so that they could be returned; she spoke of them as though they had come to save them from the Russians, almost fondly. Unfortunately, she died in 1947. Its odd, but my mother always used to say to me when I was in my teens "ever bring a Jewish girl here and you'll be disowned" - the irony of this is that in my genealogical research, I was DNA tested and my maternal DNA came back as "Ashkanazi Jew" - it turns out that her grandmother was born Jewish but converted to Orthodox
> to marry. The explanation was "well you have to understand that the whole economy was controlled by the Jewish population. If you wanted to get on, the easiest way was to marry into a Jewish family" I've read countless accounts on the internet (I can probably get links) where people like my family have named the Jews who drew up and assisted the Russians with the deportations.
