HU Adventure Weekend Haggs Bank 2014
Horizons Unlimited Adventure Weekend
Friday 19th Sep - Sunday 21st Sep 2014 - Haggs Bank , Cumbria, UK
It's All About Overland Adventure
Whether you're a seasoned veteran with wisdom to share or a complete novice hungry for ideas and guidance, it doesn't matter if you ride a motorcycle, a bicycle, or drive an expedition vehicle...
Horizons Unlimited meetings are for everyone who dreams of adventure along the road less travelled.
What's happening and when
Following the overwhelming success of the first HU Mini Meet at Haggs Bank in 2013, Danny and Cathy will once again be hosting an activity meet (no presentations!) with loads of opportunities to get out and explore the North Pennines – England's Last Wilderness. Entry fee of £10 includes all weekend rides. Meals and accommodation priced separately.
19/09 - Friday
Friday night will be time to chill out round the bonfire, ready for an activity packed Saturday.
20/09 - Saturday
You'll be spoiled for choice with all the activities on offer for riders and non-riders alike!
Trail rides - to explore some of the local area and try out your handling skills – there will be limited space available and will be tailored to the ability of the people who sign up. Last year's ride lasted 5-6 hours covering some of the wilder areas of the moors. Matt from the TRF said it was some of the best off-roading he had done in years! So if you want to have a go please email us with the type of bike you've got and your experience so that the guide can plan the routes accordingly.
Road tours - to enjoy the local scenery! Last year the road run covered 130 miles, through 3 counties and encompassed some of the more stunning scenic roads in this locality, including a stop at the famous Hartside Cafe! We were joined by some from the local bike club and even they commented that they had forgotten how beautiful this area was.
Mine Tour - A local fully qualified activity instructor will be running a couple of trips to take small groups (5-10 people) down the local disused lead mine. There will be a 3 hour trip into Smallcleugh Mine for £15pp or if you just fancy a taster he will also be running a 1 hour trip for £10pp. Safety helmets and lamps are provided but there's a good chance you'll get wet so you will need suitable footwear (wellies are ideal) and your scruffs!
Group walks - exploring 2 local beauty spots one natural, a pretty waterfall you can walk behind Ashgill Force and one manmade, Epiacum, described as "the best preserved fort in the Roman Empire!"
Discounted entry to nearby Killhope Mine, an interpretative former lead mine;
Cycle hire easily organised through North Pennine Cycles in nearby Nenthead and maps available of local cycle routes.
Saturday night we'll be having live music onsite from Sleeping Dogs, a great local rock band, a bonfire, bar and BBQ!
21/09 - Sunday
Sunday morning we'll all have the chance to watch part of the Beamish Trophy Trial which runs up the side of the site. 160 vehicles entered last year all manufactured before 1979 and most owners were above retirement age too!
This is an historic event now in its 41st year and is for motorbikes, sidecars and 3 wheeled vehicles. The entire route is just over 100 miles and has several off road sections around the route. The event is organised by the South Durham Section of the Vintage Motorcycle Club. Anyone wanting to enter the event must be on a pre-1980 vehicle and has to register in advance.
Facilities for a fantastic weekend!

Israeli Wine
- d
- drewames03 Mar 31, 2008 02:27 PM
I was hoping to buy a bottle of red for Passover. Any general suggestions? I am hoping to spend between 20-30 dollars.
re: zin1953
Thanks Jason,
To answer your questions:
1. I live in Boston
2. It does not have to be Kosher. I think I would rather an Israeli wine; no one is strictly Kosher.
3. I am attending a Passover wine, not hosting it. But traditional food will be served - brisket, etc.
4. Personally, I enjoy Cabernet, Shiraz, Malbec, and Bordeaux.
Thanks Again
re: drewames03
Well, my preference would STRONGLY be for something like Hagafen Cabernet Sauvignon. It's Kosher for Passover. Problem: it's from Napa Valley, and as good as any Napa Cab up to 2x the cost (and better than most).
I've yet to have an Israeli wine that impressed me, period -- more like, "you know, for an Israeli wine it's not bad." That said, there have been marked improvements in Israeli wine over the past five years or so, but most of the top wines are very difficult to find here in the US. Those wines which can (relatively easily) be found -- like Yardin and Golan -- are vast improvements over Carmel, but still leave a great deal to be desired.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
re: zin1953
Strange. I browsed thru all their web site pages, I couldn't find a single mention of Kosher certification, much less Kosher le Pesach. Even the labels pictured on the web site don't show a hechsher.
All I found is this vague statement:
"We are proud of our success and honored to be able to produce these fine wines according to Jewish dietary laws" which I wouldn't call a statement of kashrut...
Am I missing something here?
re: RicRios
Unless they got "de-certified" somehow, they ALWAYS have been.
Jason and others may want to reassess Israeli wine. I'm not impressed with the big growers like Gamla/Yarden and Carmel's new single vineyard wines. But definitely worth a look are:
Clos du Gat
Ella Valley
Well crafted wines: Ella Valley and Yatir are new world style, Clos du Gat and Castel are elegant, traditional clarets.
re: chefdilettante
It's not a question of reassessing. If you look at what I posted I actually said: "[T]here have been marked improvements in Israeli wine over the past five years or so, but most of the top wines are very difficult to find here in the US."
What's to reassess? Do you disagree that there have been great improvements? It doesn't seem so from your post. I guess I'm just confused.
re: zin1953
I was responding to the initial remark: "I've yet to have an Israeli wine that impressed me, period," but in the name of discussion, not argument. I do agree with you that the improvements have been tremendous. There's still plenty of average wine (and some worse), but recent visits to several Israeli wineries and speaking to the winemakers have left me excited about some of the top wines and the future of the winemaking scene there. Cheers.
re: chefdilettante
how about chateau musar 95 or chateau kefraya 99.
its from the bekaa valley so more or less a neighbourhood wine.
re: pecandanish
Both are superb, but perhaps NOT what you want to serve at Passover.
re: chefdilettante
Ah, got it.
Just read this rather good review of 10 or so wines from Israel:
Check with the individual wineries for distribution info in the US.
re: maria lorraine
And, in today's San Francisco Chronicle Wine Section, wines for Passover are reviewed, and some of the selections are surprisingly familiar. To echo Zin1953,
two of the recs are for Hagafen wines. Here's the link:
Apparently there's a new online vendor specializing in Israeli wines (aptly called "Israeli Wines Direct"). Have no idea where they ship to and where they don't, but it might be worth a try:
re: olivethegreat
Hi! I'm the founder of Israeli Wine Direct - thanks for mentioning us. Actually, our first shipment of 800 cases of wine from 9 boutique wineries is making the sea voyage to California right now (arriving in May). Meanwhile, I recommend trying Yiron from Galil Mountain winery - good-value red blend from Israel that just happens to be kosher and readily availble. We'll be shipping to 13 states - wine is available for pre-arrival ordering now.
In today's NY Times, with Eric Asimov et al, on wines from Israel.
Good luck.
My wife received a bottle of 2006 Golan Heights Winery Yarden Mount Hermon White from one of her customers in Israel, but we haven't tried it yet.
There is also a store in Howell, NJ called Wine on 9 (located on Route 9)that specializes in Kosher wines. They actually have a really nice selection of Kosher Bordeaux! Worth checking out if you are ever in the area, but they do not have an online store. -mJ
re: njfoodies
I'm with Bill Hunt, in general while Israeli wines have improved a great deal in the last 5 years or so, I still am not inpressed with the ones that I can get here in DC. Actually the best Kosher for Passover wine that I've found is Spanish, Capcanes Montsant Peraj Ha'Abib. I but it because it is great wine, not because it is KFP (although I do buy it to take to the Sader every year.)
re: dinwiddie
There are some tremendous Israeli wines, both kosher and non-kosher (although very few non-kosher wines are available in the US). Have you tried the wines from Ella Valley or Castel? How about Galil Mountain (especially the Yiron and Yiron-Syrah). I actually just returned from Carmel on Thursday and their high end series (single vineyard, especially from the Kayumi vineyard or the Shaal Gewurtzraminer) and medium end (appelation) series are excellent from this old-stalwart. They also have a great bordeaux blend (Limited Edition) as does Golan Heights Winery. The Mount Hermon series of GHW is a supermarket wine and should not be considered a "true Yarden," however.
dinwiddie -- where are you going in DC for wine? Have you checked out Potomac Wine & Liquor in Georgetown? They probably have the widest selection of Israeli wine in DC and also kosher supermarkets have great finds, even for those who aren't kosher keepers or Jewish (although, again, many Israeli wines aren't kosher -- which has no affect on the taste --, but few are in the US)
It may be after Passover, but there is no reason that a wine from Israel isn't good any time of the year.
If you're interested in Israeli wine, check out my wine blog HaKerem: The Israeli Wine Blog http://israelwine.wordpress.com
re: israeliwine
Why is Israeli wine so expensive?
re: SteveTimko
What wine are you referring to in particular? Small production wine, like most small production wine from around the world, is a bit costly but some is worth it and others -- well, not so much, but that's anywhere.
On the other hand, the wines of Carmel, Galil Mountain, Segal, and others (particularly the large producers) are very well priced. Considering their value (several Israeli wines scored over 90 in the Wine Advocate), the price is appropriate to the quality.
Of course, I agree that Israeli wine - like much wine - does cost a lot, partly due to the weak dollar, and also because there is still so little of it in the US and it's not well known outside of a few kosher consumers and oenophiles. But that's why I'm trying to raise awareness of the great yayin from Israel.
I know it is after Passover, but there is always next year. We drink some kosher wines and some non-kosher wines. There are many Israeli wines that are very good and I would drink any day. Carmel has a private reserve collection that we had good luck with one year (not as good the next). Yarden is usually pretty reliable. Golan makes a good moscato but avoid the merlot and the new "white wine" they came out with. Castel is GOOD. They have an higher end wine that we bought for $50 and an every day merlot for closer to the $10-15 range. Haven't tried the lower end, but if the $50 bottle is any indication, it should be worth it. A new one we tried this year was the Dalton. I believe it was also right about $30-40.
Another great source for kosher (and Israeli) wines is kosherwine.com
I've tried most of their top 10 list from 2007. All were quite good.
re: Miglet
I have had great luck with Herzog Wine..

Have you guys ever wondered about how special some Duke players were, and then realized though you knew how great they were, you never truly understood how SPECIAL they were to DUKE?
Elton Brand, Shane Battier, Shelden Williams, Jason Williams, JJ Reddick, etc.
Do you ever think to yourself..........these guys were simply amazing and I've give anything to see them back in a DUKE uniform?
When I saw Shelden at the Duke game to get his jersey retired, I just thought "man, I'd love to see him dressed out again", yet I never thought much other than just winning when he was there.
I think the guy I think most of is Jason Williams. Though he had great stats, even more special was just how he scored. I've never seen ANY player able to drive to the basket like he could as a guard. He was unstopable and he'd take on 3 guys down low and still score.
BEfore I sound too lame, do you guys ever think about this stuff or am I just a complete freak?

Vista64 Seven Upgrade Problem
I recently got Windows Seven. I tried to install, and got an error like this after the checking compatibility thing finished, which took about 10 minutes.
The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________
Attempt to uninstall Intel PROSet/Wireless:
I go to uninstall this program that is interfering. The program is in the Uninstall Programs list, but unlike EVERY other program on the list, this one does not have an uninstall or change button. It has completely nothing. Ive looked in Program Files and found a folder called "Intel" with network drivers in it, but I dont know if I should manully uninstall it by deleting that. And if your wondering, I have no cd drive. My cd drive cracked out long ago, so I am not going to be restoring at all.
Not really a problem, but some programs wont work with Win 7?
Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:
Thanks if you took the time to read this post. Please reply to me as soon as possible. I am not really concerned with DTools and iTunes not working, so just answer my real question. How the hell am I going to install Windows 7 now?

This is the premier uninstaller known to the members of 7 forums
Revo Uninstaller Pro - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems
Uninstall what you can and then report back.
If there are problems you can do a clean install, which formats everything.
I will get the infomation for a clean install, everything will be formatted away.
If that is the way you want to go, you do not have to uninstall anything else at this point.

Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2010
On Revo Uninstaller, the Intel Proset Wireless program is not anywhere to be found. Any further help, or am I screwed? And nah, I dont wanna do a clean install. I am a developer of many games, and I have no way to back that up on a HDD, as I do not have enough money for much right now.
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2010
In my processes, I found an exe running called "RegSrvc" that the discription is "Intel PROset/Wireless Regestry Service". Should I just close it and start the install?
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2010
If you are doing and upgrade (which is not recommended), you cannot just ignore the advice of the upgrade advisor. We must get rid of the programs that were mentioned in the report.
Has everything been removed, as advised?
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2010
What do you mean by remove? Its impossible to remove the program, as I cannot find it anywhere besides network drivers which im pretty sure SHOULDNT be deleted. If you wanna see how it looks on uninstall programs: http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/856/failwin.png . If you mean remove by restoring hdd, that should NOT be neccesary for a freaking Windows install. On my desktop upgrading from xp to vista (such a bad choice) the install ran fine. Long ago when i installed Win 7 beta on here, it ran fine. This should run fine as well, but decides not too. I dont think I should even have to delete a network program to install a god damn OS. But i want this too work, and I cannot find any solutions what so ever.

Win7 x 6 PC's
Uninstall the network driver from the Device Manager>Network Adapter>Wireless Adapter. Click on the device, then choose Driver tab and uninstall with software.
You need to update the chipset drivers from your computer maker's Support Downloads webpage for your model. Ask for installation help in Drivers forum here if you need it.
You'll also need to uninstall Daemon Tools and Itunes in the Control Panel>Programs and Features before attempting your Upgrade.
Please consider doing a clean install which is a greatly superior install to an in-place Upgrade which imports accumulated corruption. Here is how: Clean Install Windows 7 You can start the clean install from Vista or boot the DVD to delete partitions, create new one(s) and format the HD before install - either way the installer will allow use of the Upgrade version key.

Alright, i reinstalled Pro Wireless and can now uninstall it. But ive read Intel Pro Wireless is responsible for your internet. I dont wanna uninstall a program responsible for my wifi lol.
EDIT: I have no DvD drive like said. I use Daemon Tools to mount the ISO of Win 7....
ANOTHER EDIT....: Well I have other ISO Mounting programs I can use. But it said i DONT need to uninstall the programs. Are you sure I need too?

ASHRAE has worked with Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) to develop the Energy Savings and Industrial Competiveness Act of 2011. The legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and is designed to reduce barriers that residential, commercial, and industrial sectors face when utilizing new technology.
"ASHRAE commends and thanks Senators Shaheen and Portman for their leadership in introducing the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2011," says Lynn G. Bellenger, ASHRAE's 2010-2011 president. "This bill takes a significant step forward in our nation's efforts to conserve the environment and encourage sustainability while fueling the economic recovery. We are particularly pleased that the legislation would encourage the U.S. Department of Energy to work with code and standard development organizations to develop definitions of energy use intensity (EUI) for use in model codes or in evaluating the efficiency impacts of the codes. In many ways the focus of this legislation parallels ASHRAE's own focus on increasing energy efficiency, as seen through Standards 90.1 and 189.1, our building professional certifications and training programs."
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, was developed in partnership with the Illuminating Engineering Society of North American (IES). Standard 90.1 provides minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings except low-rise residential buildings.
Without plug loads, Standard 90.1-2010 site energy savings are 32.6 percent and energy cost savings 30.1 percent compared with the 2004 version. Including plug loads, the site energy savings are estimated at 25.5 percent and energy cost savings 24 percent using the same basis.
ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2009, Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings , is the first code-intended green building standard in the United States. It covers site sustainability, water use efficiency, energy ef¬ficiency, indoor environmental quality and the building's impact on the atmosphere, materials and resources as well as construction and plans for operation.
ASHRAE's partners in developing 189.1 are the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America and the U.S. Green Building Council.
Standard 189.1 serves as a jurisdictional compliance option of the International Green Construction Code being developed by the International Code Council, the American Institute of Architects and ASTM International.

We take a look at some great mobile games as well as one of our favorite games of the last year!
Beyond: Two Souls
Similar to Quantic Dream's highly cinematic Heavy Rain, the developer's Beyond: Two Souls is as much a playable movie as it is a video game. In fact, the supernatural thriller – featuring scary-real performance-captured starring roles from Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe – may even favor the former a bit.
Sporting stunning visuals and thrilling, emotionally-charged storytelling, it's both an unrivaled technical feat and groundbreaking artistic achievement that any fan of the interactive medium should experience. That said, those preferring less-scripted, player-controlled fare, may find the title's significant lack of more traditional gameplay mechanics off-putting at best and unacceptable at worst.
While I heartily recommend Beyond to Quantic's faithful following, I'd also advise those who'd rather score headshots than have their heartstrings tugged to proceed with caution.
Call of Duty: Strike Team ($6.99, Activision) iOS
While Call of Duty clones have been beating the popular first-person shooter at its own game in the mobile space for years, Strike Team finally brings the franchise proper to the portable frontline.
Rather than shrinking one of their console successes to smartphone size though, Activision's delivered a fresh experience for on-the-go fraggers; the result is an engaging mix of cinematic FPS combat and more strategic top-down gameplay. Its lack of competitive multiplayer aside, Strike Team's worth enlisting for.
Where's My Mickey? ($.99 Disney Mobile) iOS, Android, Windows
Building on the liquid-based puzzling of Where's My Water? and Where's My Perry?, Disney's latest soggy sequel retains its predecessors' addictive formula, while sprinkling some fresh drops on the physics-fueled fun.
Most notably, new weather mechanics – tasking players with manipulating wind, clouds, and rain – add a welcome layer of strategic options to the puzzle-solving. Toss in some original Mouse-starring animated shorts, and Where's My Mickey? is the best reason yet to keep the faucet running.
Halo: Spartan Assault ($6.99 Microsoft) Windows 8
A pick-up-and-play, top-down shooter with a pretty Halo paint-job, Spartan Assault dives into the story – and Covenant-crushing combat – unfolding between the sci-fi saga's third and fourth console chapters. It's missing series' star Master Chief and the franchise's signature multiplayer modes, but seasoned Spartan's should still enjoy clearing its bite-sized battlefields of alien uglies.
Those expecting an evolution of the blockbuster series will likely be disappointed; fans craving some Halo-on-the-go, however, won't want to miss this thumb-blistering shooter.
Deus Ex: The Fall ($6.99 Square Enix) iOS
Featuring console-quality visuals, rich storytelling, varied gameplay, and plenty of character-progressing depth, Deus Ex: The Fall packs most of the elements fans have come to expect from the action-RPG cyberpunk series; in fact, squint a bit and The Fall could pass for 2011′s stellar series' reboot, Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
While it frequently fools you into believing you're playing a full-fledged entry in the franchise though, The Fall's lackluster A.I. and clunky controls occasionally snap you back to reality.
Infinity Blade III ($6.99, Chair Entertainment) iOS
With Infinity Blade and its sequel, developer Chair Entertainment proved you needn't own a console or PC to enjoy triple-A gaming.
The fantasy franchise's third offering continues down this same path, providing players with another Tolkien-rivaling epic, complete with cool weapons and towering beasts to unleash them on. While this blade's still sharp, some of the novelty's been dulled; fresh elements, like dragons, are a welcome addition, but Infinity Blade III still feels a bit too familiar.

Health Day - ONLINE EDITION
CPR Training Rates Lower in Poor, Rural U.S. Communities
Less bystander resuscitation training also seen in the South, Midwest and West
TUESDAY, Nov. 19, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- CPR training rates are lower in poor, rural U.S. communities, according to a new study.
The finding is troubling because timely bystander CPR -- cardiopulmonary resuscitation -- can boost the odds of survival for those who experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital.
The researchers also found that fewer people are trained in CPR in the South, Midwest and West. The study authors suggest this could help explain why bystander CPR is used less frequently in these areas.
Using data from the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross and the Health & Safety Institute, the investigators examined CPR training rates among roughly 13 million people living in more than 3,100 U.S. counties.
The study, published online on Nov. 18 in JAMA Internal Medicine, showed that counties with the lowest rates of CPR training -- less than 1.3 percent of the population -- were also more likely to have a greater proportion of rural areas, black and Hispanic residents, and a lower average household income.
These areas also had fewer doctors and, on average, older residents, according to a journal news release.
The researchers, led by Dr. Monique Anderson, of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, in Durham, N.C., noted that counties in the Northeast had higher rates of CPR training.
"With regard to rural areas, more studies are needed on interventions that target the entire chain of survival," the study authors concluded.

Tips to secure Trash for Windy days
It seems like it's rarely windy, but if it is, it's a trash day!
The new trash bins almost everyone uses are much less susceptible to blowing over, but for those still using their own trash cans, nobody wants their neighbors' trash blowing into their yards (or making the open space ugly and costing us money to clean it up), so we're sharing clever tips and ideas how to keep your trash from blowing away:
- Remember that the trash truck can come any time from 8am to 8pm on trash days, and a calm morning can suddenly give way to 100MPH winds later -- so please plan to secure your trash assuming the worst conditions, not the best.
- Make everything heavy. If you can easily lift it, it can blow.
- Don't put empty boxes or other loose items out, no matter what (put them in trash cans/bags with other heavy articles)
- Make sure trash cans are heavy enough not to blow down the street
- Lay rectangular trash cans down so they don't fall over and spill or slide
- Tie plastic trash bags together -- so the whole collection is heavier (tie with your neighbors if you don't have enough)
- Place trash on the non-windy side of large brick mailboxes (the wind seems to mostly come from the west or north)
- Tie trash bags together around a light-pole or mailbox pole, so if the wind blows the pole keeps them in place (put the weight downwind of the pole)
- Be aware that birds and our other wildlife can tear plastic bags open to get at food
- Place a brick, rock, or other heavy object on top of recycled papers in the recycle bin (or tie newspapers into bundles with string)
- Get trash cans with lids that latch into place
- Avoid round trash cans, which roll easily
- Use a bungee cord to tie two trash cans together around a light pole
- Drill holes and attach your lids to your cans with rope/etc.
- Have family members who are home keep an eye on things if the wind kicks up
- -- and be neighborly about securing your neighbors trash if it looks like it might blow
- Use a wheeled trash-cart carrier to place your trash cans in
Please don't call the association asking to speed up the trash trucks -- they would if they could! (But if you find the switch to turn off the wind, do tell.) The trash company has a schedule to keep so can't come only on calm days, and we can't change what route they use to drive through the neighborhood. They have come as late as 9pm at night (and as early as 7:30am), so it's up to all of us to secure our trash in case of strong winds.
Please share tips!
If you have any clever tips you use to keep your trash from blowing, please click here to share with us. And please share this list of tips with your neighbors so we can keep the trash from flying!
—Andrew Burt, Board President
Note for January... Please remember to put Christmas trees out at your curb for regular trash pickup. Please do NOT put them at the Estates entry way -- we have not had pickup there for several years, and have had to pay extra money to have them removed from there! Thanks! (Also, reminder that trash pickup is often a day later after Christmas and New Years. Check the calendar to make sure.)
Additional comments from neighbors:
Bless you for addressing this ongoing problem. My simple suggestion for windy trash days is to use the biggest and sturdiest trash bags you can find... and not use trash cans at all. I use 3 mill contractor trash bags that I have found only at Home Depot. Big trash bags end up being heavy bags... which supports your general premise. Even if the big bags end up blowing around a bit. . they don't tend to break, and usually end up being picked up.
As for sharing tips with neighbors... We have neighbors who stuff trash cans to overflowing... with no lids... we are down wind... and I regularly pick up all sorts of their garbage from our yard after a windy trash day. On those few times when I have been home... when I see their trash start its journey around the neighborhood, I have grabbed trash bags and gone to their door... explained that their trash is on the loose, and asked if they have a few minutes to help my bag it before it goes all over the neighborhood. They have pitched in to help with the cleanup... do not seem to be offended, but have never seemed to pick up on the point that they could bag their trash on windy days on their own.
1. Never use trash cans; they always get blown over with the slightest bit of wind. Instead use garbage bag liners in your trash cans during the week and just pull the bags out and place together by the curb. We've never had a problem with the bags blowing off.
2. Residents who repeatedly use trash cans should be responsible for picking up their trash that blows into neighbors yards or into open space areas. It's easy to identify these people as their name and address is on most of their wind blown trash.
Thanks for trying to keep our neighborhood clean!
Use large, rectangular trash cans on wheels with attached lids. They will sometimes fall over when empty, but not when full if put level on the sidewalk and back to back if you have two (wheels together). For the recycling, put the newspapers on top and then use large rocks to secure them. The newspapers will keep the rest of the recycling from blowing around. The trash guys then just throw the rocks back in the planting area near where we leave our trash. That has worked for us for years.
You mentioned some great suggestions, including a couple I had not considered bu t seem like they would certainly help. I'm now on the hunt for rectangular trash bins! My suggestion is not "clever", but merely common sense. However, our neighbors to the west do not seem to "get it" . . . all packaging "popcorn" should be placed in plastic bags and tied securely to avoid spillage. We cannot weed our gardens without finding foam popcorn in the foliage. Over the years it gets really a nnoying. If you add this, please put it in bold.

Have you noticed any actual issues with your internet service? Pages not loading? Bad performance? I would say everything is OK, if you aren't actually experiencing any symptoms. Those uncorrectables don't seem to be too bad. Typically you will see a bunch of uncorrectables right as the modem starts, so I would say reboot the modem, wait about 10-15 mins and then note the # of uncorrectables. THEN monitor it over a period of time, and see what your long term error rates are. I bet your long term error rates will be significantly lower if you exclude the first 10-15mins.The rest of your signal levels look just fine. What is your upstream power level ?
I wasn't complaining about the performance of the new modem. I'm very happy with the performance of the EMTA and the higher speeds. I was just reporting what my experience was with the modem and putting forth the info to see if it was comparable to what other customers were getting.UpstreamUCID Freq Power Channel Type Symbol Rate ModulationUpstream 1 10 36.20 MHz 50.50 dBmV DOCSIS2.0 (ATDMA) 5120 kSym/s 64QAMUpstream 3 11 29.40 MHz 50.00 dBmV DOCSIS2.0 (ATDMA) 5120 kSym/s 64QAMUpstream 4 12 22.00 MHz 48.50 dBmV Mixed (TDMA and ATDMA) 2560 kSym/s 64QAMUpstream power levels are fine. See above. The data I showed was for a 30 day period (ie 30 days uptime). If there were significant "startup anomalies" they would have gotten lost in the total amount of data recorded.PaulEdit on October 18,2012 :Monitored the data on a daily basis for the last four days. It appears that the Correctable & Uncorrectable errors have stayed the same and the Octet processed goes up about 3 % per day . A "calculated estimate" would look like the Bit Error Rate will approach the EMTA spec capability in approximately 100 days. Have no way of knowing where the initial batch of errors occurred or any way to remove them.I will reset the counters in about another week and see how the second set of data looks.Paul
Well, if a LOT of the errors (like 60% or something) came from startup, yes it would mess up your averages.Anyways, man, why does everyone but me get 3 upstream channels? I only get 2. And itlooks like you have 3 at 64QAM too.
Anyways, man, why does everyone but me get 3 upstream channels? I only get 2.
I have two upstream channels as well; one 64QAM, one 16 .--KI6RIT
1 recommendation
"Obvious" to whom ? Not me, sorry.
Well, it's pretty obvious that the reason I only get 2 channels is because there are only two configured. Anyways, this is getting OT and will be my last post on the topic.
Pardon me for taking it literally and just sincerely trying to provide you with some information which I could not possibly know whether you already know or not. Have a nice day sir !
Technical Follow-UP Note: Have been monitoring EMTA data over the last several months. Seems like "Correctable Bit Error Rate" is ~~ 10^ -9 and "Un-Correctable Error Rate is ~~ 10^ -7 !! Only upsets seem to be occasional event log entries like (MTA TFTP: Successful11/25/2012 12:12 26 MTA PROV: Successful!).Very satisfied with the new TMS 722G performance !!Paul

John Sheehan, S.J. (Jesuit priest)
Of course, before Israel, (pre 1948) the Middle East was mostly divided up between British and French colonialist mandates and puppet governments, so of course the United States wouldn't worry about hostile governments.

The commentary:Alright Harvard Business School, let's have a word or two.
I understand that you like to "change" things in your dining room every once in a while to tickle the palate of the HBS kids who have a tendency to grow blasé rather quickly of your stationary Italian, Asian, & Micronesian stations, so you feel the need to spice it up with an occasional exotic nationality… but this, THIS, is where we draw the line. Israeli food station? Hold your breath.
Let's see:
1. Harissa (هريسة) is a Tunisian and Libyan hot chili sauce whose main ingredient is piri piri. Piri piri grows in the wild in Africa. —> Since Israel is not in Africa, Harissa is not Israeli.
2. Couscous (كسكس) is a Maghrebian dish, a staple food throughout Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. Not Israeli. As for "Israeli couscous", the real name is "Maftoul" (مفتول), which is a Palestinian dish of Couscous.
3. Fattūsh (فتوش) is a word made of Arabic fatt "crush" and the suffix of Turkic origin -ūsh. Coining words this way was common in Syrian Arabic as well as in other dialects of Arabic. —> Unless Israel's main language is Arabic, this too is NOT Israeli.
4. Halloumi (χαλούμι) is a Cypriot semi-hard, unripened brined cheese made from a mixture of goats' and sheep milk. It's not even ARABIC. So seriously, your "fuck-you" is not even centered around Arabs, it's going west. —> Until Cyprus becomes another conquered Israeli territory, Halloumi is considered NOT Israeli.
5. Hummus (حُمُّص): Let's get to the bottom of this once and for all. Hummus is an Arabic word meaning "chickpeas." Ok? It is an Arabic word. As far as "Israelis" are concerned, they don't speak Arabic. So unless you change your primary language, you have no argument here. The earliest documented recipe for something similar to modern hummus dates to 13th Century (CE) Egypt. —> Since Israel was created in 1948, Israel is NOT 13th CENTURY EGYPT! And Hummus is therefore NOT ISRAELI.
6. Tahini (طحينه): ONE: Tahini is a loanword from Arabic: طحينة, or more accurately ṭaḥīnīa طحينية, and is derived from the root ط ح ن Ṭ-Ḥ-N which as a verb طحن ṭaḥan which means "to grind." TWO: You can only make Hummus with Tahini, since it is the second main ingredient. —> As per the argument of Hummus, we conclude that Tahini is NOT Israeli.
7. Zaatar (زَعْتَر): Alright. Zaatar is THYME. It is a Middle-Eastern plant. It grows in Palestine and other land areas. Since Israel is modern-day Palestine, then I can see why you would like to make that plant Israeli. And you might be able to get away with it. But get this: Zaatar is an Arabic word. So, to make your argument more solid, why don't you use a Hebrew word for it? Like "שקר", which is hebrew for LIE.
8. Mezze (in the title): This word (which refers to a selection of small dishes) comes from the Turkish meze 'taste, flavour, snack, relish', borrowed from Persian مزه (maze 'taste, snack' < mazīdan 'to taste') and/or the Greek version mezés (μεζές). SO TURKISH, PERSIAN and GREEK —> NOT ISRAELI.
9. "Sweet & Sour": This draws the f*ckin limit. Now this sure isn't Arabic, but I would like to see Chinatown respond to this.
Dear HBS, that "Israeli Mezze Station" is the ultimate multicultural, multireligious fuck-you in the face of ALL Arabs at once from North Africa to the Levant… (while engaging a small spit on the Cypriots)… NINE counts.
If you insist on giving no honor to the Arabs (many of whom are Harvard students/alumni- "hi!"), and/or if you insist on never ever speaking of Arabs in culinary worth (since we're only ever referred to as warmongers and terrorists), at least have the decency of calling it MEDITERRANEAN MEZZE STATION.
Israel already has a hard time keeping face in the Arab world for the way it has "appropriated" its lands since 1948, don't make it worse for them by having them appropriate other peoples' foods as well.
"Before placing your order, please inform your server if a person in your party is an Islamic fundamentalist and/or has ties to the Chinese government. We will rectify the nationality of your dish accordingly.
Sincerely, HBS"

I'm not speaking for other Arab countries, but Israelis/Jews come from many countries - including North-Africa (which some of those dishes like couscous or harissa are from). So the Maghrebi Jews who emigrated there obviously took some of the North-African cultures with them which is perfectly normal as it's as much their culture as any other North-African.
So, I personally have no problem with those North-African dishes being called "Israeli" in that case. It's not appropriation as the native people from those regions brought it into Israel.
The majority of Israelis are either of Mizrahi (Jews who had lived in North Africa and the Middle East for the past several centuries) or of mixed Mizrahi descent. Israeli cuisine tends to reflect that.

I don't buy Jeffrey Goldberg (mostly 'Not at all') - and I really don't think much of Walter Russell Mead. Thus the cheap introduction part is not quoted in.
My experience has been that antisemitism (personal or political etc) can exist at anywhere anytime. it's a strong, potent and ubiquitous 'meme' - we haven't - we never have come to deal with necessary amount of seriousness.
It's not particular thing to Egypt, or poor, or 'backward' human groups, or Middle East or anything. It's like very common mold spore - just need a bit of humidity and it says 'Hi'.
And problem is we don't have effective counter-meme, vaccination (preventive etc) - developed. We've been barely serious about it - likewise with most of the racism we humans carry.
Problem really - to me - is that we decided to cover this problem with shallow denial, shallow behavioral solutions. Facade. Facile. Just say, just say it (the spore) is not on me, or not on you, not on anyone -
Well. That's not true at all.
We need the new real way to talk about it, new courage and really strong psychology to talk through about this 'collective' virus or meme - and work on to build the measures to deal with, repair this problem.
But then, as same with the case of most of the racism - the actual society really cannot - yet to - accept those real measures to counter these viruses (racisms). Our societies are mostly far from such points.
And that limit - even clouds the eyes we have, the way we talk about, the way we can think about the problem. (But then, the most crushing part of this problem is the goodness, the courage, the creativity we all internally, potentially have is so enormous, but they never can be unleashed on the problem of races, racism - anti-semitism included.)
And it's been that way, probably way too long.
Egyptian television is filled with such sociology. One popular series depicts an Egyptian diplomat stationed in Tel Aviv who robs Israeli banks on the side. The show was promoted by a Middle East satellite channel, which claimed that it would "surprise the audience with the sweetest jokes about the cheap Jew."
A television show called "Il Hukm Ba'd il Muzawla," a kind of "Candid Camera" knockoff, provides further evidence that Judeophobia in Egypt has become pathological. The show lures celebrities into an interview under the pretense that it will air on a foreign television station, and then tries to discomfit them by claiming they're actually being interviewed for an Israeli show.
Recently, the show targeted actor Ayman Kandeel. The episode didn't proceed as smoothly as planned. According to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute, the interviewer, an Egyptian woman named Iman Mubarak, surprises Kandeel by admitting that he's appearing on Israeli television, and not German, as he was promised. A producer named Amr Alaa appears on set and asks Kandeel if there's a problem.
Kandeel responds, "May I ask who you are?" Alaa, who is Arab, answers, "I am an Israeli." More words are exchanged, and then Alaa says: "This is my channel. I am never afraid. It is you who are afraid, and that is why you are carrying a gun."
"I don't have a gun," Kandeel responds. "To use my gun against you, I need to feel that you are worth something. But let me tell you what I can do. You stand right here. Relax."
Kandeel then attacks Alaa, slapping him and shoving him, throwing chairs and cursing. He wheels on Mubarak, slaps her — knocking her against a wall — and curses her. A staff member runs onto the set: "Ayman, please, it's a prank. Shame on you for hitting a woman."
Kandeel is given Mubarak's identification card, to prove that she isn't Israeli. Finally, he says, "She's Egyptian?"
"You hit me so hard," Mubarak says.
Kandeel: "It was just one slap." The audience applauds. Then he makes her an offer: "After the show, come to my car with me. I'll put some lotion on your back."
'Long Live Egypt'
The next guest, the actress Mayer al-Beblawi, unburdens herself of an anti-Semitic tirade before being told the show is an Israeli production. The Israelis, she begins, "are real liars. They keep whining all the time about the Holocaust, or whatever it's called. With all the Palestinians that you have killed, you are still whining about the Holocaust and its lousy figures?" She goes on: "They are the slayers of the prophets, what else can we say about them."
The host, Mubarak, then provokes her: "You've got it wrong. They are the Chosen People." Al-Beblawi responds: "The Chosen People? Allah did not curse the worm and the moth as much as he cursed the Jews."
Al-Beblawi didn't resort to violence. But the next guest, Mahmoud Abd al-Ghaffar, did, screaming at Mubarak, "You are a Jew!" and then pulling Alaa by the hair. Mubarak shouts: "Mahmoud, this is a 'Candid Camera' show. We are all Egyptians. Long live Egypt!"
Al Ghaffar says, "You brought me someone who looks like a Jew," and then hugs Alaa. He turns to Mubarak: "If you weren't a girl, the moment you told me you were Jewish … I hate the Jews to death."
Mubarak then makes a statement that captures almost perfectly the moral perversion of the prank: "I'd like to tell you that I enjoyed today's episode with Mahmoud. I didn't know that there could be such patriotism, but it exists in every Egyptian who breathes the air of this country."
In a column published last week, the Washington Post's Colbert King correctly indicted the leadership of Iran as sponsors of "the most virulent form of state-sanctioned anti- Semitism since Nazi Germany." It is true that the Iranian leadership is wildly anti-Semitic, but, on my visits to Iran, I've never personally felt the hatred of Jews on the popular level.
Not so in Egypt, where the virus has spread widely. As we just saw in the Sinai region, where militants killed 16 Egyptian soldiers and tried to storm across the Israeli border on Aug. 5, Egypt has serious problems, and they don't have much to do with "cheap Jews."
Any country in which anti-Semitism is considered a form of patriotism is in dire trouble.

You know, Ajam Media Collective? Them!
On Alice Walker's decision regarding the publication of her book in Israel
I disagree with her decision because I don't understand what the principle behind her decision is. If her book was printed in Israel, it would have allowed her to get her message across to the Israelis. Why did she have to refuse that ? Once I read an article about Edward Said and it said that he wrote back to Zionism and presented to the Israelis a counter-narrative and the Palestinian perspective and experience of Zionism. Would Said refuse to have his work published in Israel? No. His entire career was about engaging with Zionism, mainly through literature. It's in this tradition of the great Edward Said that Alice Walker should have published her book in Israel. Said was Palestinian and he never refused and turned down a chance to talk or write to the occupier. One can't be more catholic than the Pope - Alice Walker's stance on Israel in this case is absurd.
There are other occasions where I have disagreed with her. First, I don't think that Israel should be compared to Apartheid South Africa because White South Africa was actually a lot worse than Israel's occupation of Palestine. Above all, Palestine is a case on it's own therefore I don't understand why it should be compared to other atrocities in order to attract attention to it. The Palestinian suffering stands out on its own and it doesn't have to be compared to anything else, otherwise it just discredits and compromises the Palestinian cause. I also don't agree with her when she says that a two-state solution is not possible because Israel won't allow it, therefore there has to be a single state. As if Israel is going to allow that.
- Jahanzeb Hussain
When Palestinians launch rockets out of Gaza that may fall in civilian areas in Israel, that's terrorism—but when Israeli airstrikes actually kill droves of innocents in Gaza that's a misfortunate 'accident'.
We already know that, what's new (but not surprising) is that when Palestinians target Israeli soldiers that's still terrorism even though Israel tragetting Palestinian 'militants' is as right and normal and legitimate as can be.
Explain this to me. Please.
Accident is the key word. People who defend Israeli airstrikes believe that civilians aren't targeted and so it isn't terrorism. Whereas when Hamas and Islamic Jihad sends rockets into areas in which there are only civilians, they must be targeting civilians (and in fact they don't deny it) and so it is terrorism.
Targeting civilians is always terrorism. If Israeli airstrikes actually do target civilians and not just militants, then that is state terrorism. If they don't target civilians but civilians are killed anyways, that is not terrorism, but neither is it merely an unfortunate accident. Just because it isn't terrorism, it doesn't meant that civilian deaths are so easily excused.
This week, two totally different cases saw real progress towards resolution due to persistence, focus on achievable results and the use of nonviolent means. Palestinian prisoners and supporters of their just and reasonable requests in Palestine, the Arab world, and the international community saw a successful resolution of their demands. The end of administrative detentions was the aim when Khader Adnan and Hana Shalabi began the protests with a pair of hunger strikes followed by Thaer Halahla and Bilal Diab. This was followed by 1,600 prisoners demanding the end of solitary confinement, permission for family visits especially for Gaza families denied such visits since 2007 and agreement to allow prisoners to follow up educational pursuits. Thousands of prisoners refrained from eating for over 28 days while the administrative detainees went into their third month of a dangerous hunger strike. The selfless action of the prisoners touched people around the world who began numerous campaigns on social media and in front of UN agencies, and other forms of protests. In Amman, 15 young people, including two women, started their own hunger strike in a tent outside the Professional Associations Complex. They were especially supportive of over two dozen Jordanians in Israeli prisons, including Abdullah Barghouthi. The image of these supporters wearing light brown outfits resembling the prisoners' uniforms went viral on line as they exchanged their own pictures with a faceless, brown-wearing sketch. Government officials in Jordan, Egypt, the U.S. and the EU, as well as the secretary general of the UN, were forced to take a stand and pressure the Israelis to accept the demands and use international standards for incarceration. The end was an Egyptian government-brokered deal that responded to most demands by Palestinian prisoners.
In another incident, Jordanian media professionals decided to investigate the status of persons with disabilities at privately-run centers. Radio Al Balad's investigation unit and the Arab world's investigative journalism network ARIJ cooperated over a year to look into the case. Because the media have little access to these centers, and due to the lack of serious monitoring, Al Balad's journalist Hanan Khandakji was dispatched to do undercover reporting.
She volunteered at a few centers, and over a 12-month period was able to collect damning evidence of verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Attempts to get government officials to better scrutinize the center failed to produce results.Before publishing the report, the BBC Arabic TV station was approached and agreed to film a documentary based on the evidence collected. The two sides agreed to broadcast/publish the investigation simultaneously, along with The Alghad newspaper. The combined local and international video-based media coverage produced quick results. The King made an unannounced visit to Ibn Khaldoun and Al Razi centers, both owned by a single entrepreneur. After the visit, and based on the initial media evidence, His Majesty instructed the prime minister to quickly and comprehensively investigate the charges, turn over to the judiciary those guilty of wrongdoing and provide him with results within two weeks. Families of children with disabilities warmly welcomed the King's intervention and will be awaiting the results of the special committee.
In both the prisoner protests and the media investigation a clear trend can be identified. Injustice is recognized, clear attainable goals are identified, comprehensive plans are assembled, hard work is invested over a long period and the public is involved. All this is done without violence, with strong determination and active effort and follow up.
While many choose the shortcut of violence or revolution to effect changes, it is clear that although nonviolent and society civil-based activities take longer time, they can produce impressive and tangible results.In the two above cases, actions and results cannot be expected based on a one-off activity or a faza (communal knee jerk emotional outburst); they require long-term, focused and comprehensive plans. Community leadership development (prisoners showed leadership), institutional capacity building, financial and administrative support are all important ingredients that must be included for results to be comprehensive and long lasting.

A production reviewers have deemed "a holiday classic" and "a hoot" returns to Chattanooga State Community College for the next two weekends.
"The Nutcracker Christmas Carol: A Holiday Musical," presented annually by the Chattanooga State Repertory Theatre, combines all the great Christmas stories into a single holiday musical suitable for the whole family.
Rex Knowles, who wrote the book and lyrics, explains the origin of the musical: "I asked myself this question: What if I found in the back room of the British Library a first draft of Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol,' and within those pages were the seeds of every Christmas story we know today?"
His first draft began with "A Christmas Carol" and "The Nutcracker."
"I had so much fun combining the two that I added snippets from 'It's a Wonderful Life,' 'Miracle on 34th Street,' 'The Gift of the Magi' and 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,'" he says.
Knowles collaborated with Sherry Landrum and Allan Ledford on the music. Landrum says the piece was created as a lighthearted spoof, but Dickens' influence on later writers became ever more apparent.
"As we worked, we realized how much all Christmas stories owe to 'A Christmas Carol,' Dickens' great story of human transformation and redemption," she explains.
"The theme of Scrooge, the penurious tyrant, and his worker Bob Cratchit, the thoroughly good human being, resonates throughout all the stories: The Grinch steals Christmas from Whoville. Mr. Potter takes Bedford Falls from George Bailey. Fred Gailey fights the psychologist, Mr. Shelhamer, to protect the name of Santa Claus.
"The innocence of childhood in the archetype of Tiny Tim runs through all as well in the characters of Little Cindy-Lou Who, George Bailey's children and young Susan Walker. 'It's a Wonderful Life' even brings in a ghost, Clarence Oddbody, who gives George Bailey the chance to see the future and realize that goodness is its own reward."
The musical contains 10 original Christmas songs by the trio, ranging in style from the humorous "I'm Gettin' Everything for Christmas" to the heartwarming "My Christmas Dream."
Knowles will be featured in the production as Ebenezer Scrooge. Landrum is directing. Ledford is musical director. Lindsay Fussell is the choreographer.

The Clos de la Roche 2011 from Ponsot is a very intense and special wine. In the nose delicate sweet almost perfumed ripe fruit with notes of forest strawberries, raspberries, liqueur … spiced with violets and a deep but discrete earthy minerality. The fruit in the nose is airy and delicate with no restraints from new oak. On the palate very ripe airy fruit …. outstanding midpalate weight and concentration …. culminating in a very balanced long finish with a very fine focusing acidity. The layers of ripe fruit infuse aromas of red berry fruit, prune and plum. A big and very special wine … with a unique balance between the rich, ripe and airy fruit and the framwork of intense minrality and crisp acidity. The sweet and ripe midpalate is currently a bit over the top for me …. nevertheless an outstanding wine.
