Grapel's mother leaves for Cairo to meet her son
ilan grapel.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
Dual US-Israeli citizen Ilan Grapel is scheduled to fly from Cairo to Israel
Thursday afternoon in exchange for 25 Egyptian prisoners, after the High Court
of Justice refused two petitions against the deal late Wednesday
evening.The High Court debated the two petitions on Wednesday afternoon
against the deal, but – as it did last week in the Gilad Schalit swap – denied
them on the grounds that these types of exchanges are within the government's
purview. Grapel was arrested in Cairo on June 12 for allegedly spying for
Israel, a charge later lowered to incitement.RELATED:MK Hasson: Ilan Grapel treated fairly in Egyptian prison'Cairo
wary of Egyptian public's response to Grapel deal' 'Egypt
charges Grapel with setting fire to police stations'
The two Israelis who
negotiated Grapel's release with the Egyptians – Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu's envoy Yitzhak Molcho and Kadima MK and former deputy Shin Bet
(Israel Security Agency) head Yisrael Hasson – are scheduled to fly Thursday
afternoon to Cairo with Grapel's mother to retrieve him.Grapel is
expected to land at Ben-Gurion Airport at about 5 p.m., and then drive to
Jerusalem for a brief meeting with Netanyahu.A spokesman for the Prisons
Service said the Egyptian prisoners, who were gathered together at the Beersheba
prison on Wednesday, will be taken to the Taba border crossing with Egypt most
likely Thursday afternoon.All of the Egyptian prisoners, according to
information supplied by the Prisons Service, are serving time for criminal –
rather than terrorist-related – offenses. The group of prisoners also includes
three minors.While Schalit was met upon his release in a
government-organized ceremony at the Tel Nof Air Force Base – by his family,
Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen.
Benny Gantz – no official ceremony was planned for Grapel's return.One government source, explaining the difference in
the reception, said Grapel was not a soldier, but rather a civilian
unjustifiably accused of being a spy.The official said it was not clear
whether Grapel, who was born in the US, but immigrated to Israel and served in
the Paratroopers Brigade, would remain here or return to the US. At the time of
his arrest in June he was a law student at Emory University in
Atlanta.The first petition to the High Court against the deal on
Wednesday was filed by MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) and far-right
religious party Eretz Israel Shelanu (Our Land of Israel), and the second was
filed by the Almagor Terror Victims Association.A panel of three
justices, Miriam Naor, Esther Hayut and Isaac Amit, heard the
petitions.Ben-Ari's main argument was that the decision to release the
prisoners was problematic because it was made by Netanyahu's 14- man security
cabinet, not by the government itself.The National Union MK also dubbed
the prisoner release agreement "disproportionate and unreasonable," and said it
differed from the Schalit deal because Grapel "went to Egypt of his own free
will to participate in various activities of extremist
movements."However, Naor pointed out in response that the reasons Grapel
went to Egypt are unknown. In its response to the petition, the state
said the 10 security prisoners included in the deal had been convicted mostly of
weaponstrading offenses, and in one case of belonging to an illegal
organization."None of the prisoners has been convicted of perpetrating
acts of terror or acts to harm human life," the state emphasized.Another
11 prisoners had been mostly convicted of drug-trafficking offenses and the
remaining four had served their prison sentences in full, the state
noted.However, in Wednesday's court hearing Ben-Ari argued that drug
trafficking was a serious offense and suggested that the state could have used
other means to free Grapel, including funding a lawyer to represent
him.The petitioners also argued the state had not given the public
enough time to respond to the prisoner releases.However, Naor pointed
out during the hearing that the list of prisoners and their full details had
been published on the Prisons Service website on Tuesday, 48 hours before their
scheduled release on Thursday.The state had also emphasized that
Israel's relationship with Egypt was important, and the Grapel deal involved
"political considerations regarding our relationship with Egypt."In the
final ruling, the justices noted the state's position that it was important to
carry out the agreement between Israel and Egypt as scheduled, as any delay
could prevent Grapel's release."This court has debated the issue of time
lines in the past, as we do not find that the time lines as set forth in this
case justify our intervention," the justices said in the ruling.

Arizona, Cactus Food and Frank Lloyd Wright
Food was my focus on this trip - and there's an Oak Park connection
Last week was spring break. My wife Carolyn is a teacher, so with the week off, we went south to Arizona for a few days.
We stayed at the Arizona Inn, a 1930's boutique resort hotel with beautifully maintained adobe buildings, lush gardens (challenging in this climate), and a DVD collection featuring actors who have stayed at on the grounds over the past 80 years or so. One night, we watched a movie with James Cagney and Bette Davies called "The Bride Came C.O.D.," in which Ms. Davis repeatedly falls into a patch of paddle cacti and gets a butt-full of thorns (more on this in a moment).
These paddle cacti – which are abundant all over the state of Arizona – bear two kinds of foodstuffs.
The cactus paddles themselves – called nopales – can be cleaned of thorns and prepared as "nopalitos," frequently seen in Mexican restaurants, including local places like New Rebozo. Usually, they're cooked and sliced thin, to be served in a salad or garnish; they have the texture and a similar taste to cooked green pepper.
Cleaning is very challenging, as in addition to large fang-like thorns, there are many hundreds of small, hair-like clusters of prickles. We picked some nopales to bring home, and Carolyn brought home a few of their tiny yet painful stingers in her leg (she's all better now; the little needles seem to work themselves out).
The other prime food stuff from this particular cactus is the prickly pear. This green, oblong bud yields a soft, red fruit that's used in pancake syrup and margaritas we had at Arizona Inn. Though it takes a while to process, this fruit of the desert is a beautiful and lush crimson, and it adds a light taste, a little bit like watermelon, with a citrus kick provided by lemon (a commonly seen ingredient in recipes for the syrup, jellies, and other prickly pear products). When we got home, we used some prickly pear jelly as a garnish, along with cornichons, on a country pate.
I've seen the cactus paddles and the prickly pear fruit available at Jimenez Brothers on Roosevelt, as well at as many other Hispanic markets in the areas.
In a book about the Arizona Inn provided to guests of the hotel, it's noted that Frank Lloyd Wright was a guest and "voiced admiration for the Inn's architecture." Both the architect of the Inn and Oak Park's favorite architect drew inspiration from the Southwestern tradition of features such as flat roofs, human-scale spaces, and somewhat hidden doorways. Though Wright's style is regularly described as Prairie School, it has a lot in common with native desert mountain architecture. Wright's regard for the organic connection between the building and the land is shared by current managers of the inn who allow trees (like the cypress, pictured) to grow into existing structures, reflecting and accommodating their natural surroundings. You can also see how the pinkish cast of the prickly pear bud matches almost exactly the pink adobe of the Arizona Inn.
Food was the main focus of our trip, and in addition to the prickly pear products, we also brought home brown and white tepary beans, cholla buds and saguaro syrup (made from the buds of the region's characteristic pole-type cactus). As I experiment with these foods, which I have never seen on any local menus, I'll post about the results here. In the meantime, if you have any experiences with these ingredients, I'd love to hear about them.

Nopales at Chimbombo in Berwyn last weekend were one of the best things we ate at what turned out to be a somewhat less than thrilling table of food.

Hi All,
A few weeks ago I posted some names that i have thought up which didnt get the best feedback and understandably, they were a little different.
Last night DH was reading the baby name book and he stumbled across a name that he is beyond in love with. I have been thinking about it on and off throughout the day and it is growing on me... Also, I know if I really wanted a name which he didnt much care for I know he would agree anyways to make me happy so I am thinking I would love to let him choose the name he loves. It is very straight and simple compared to my chosen names so far but i think it is also quite pretty and so I wanted to get opinions on the name Tessa.
Other names we have on the list (suggested by me) are
Evangeline and
What do you think of these 3 names and if you do like Tessa can you suggest possible middle names.. we have an Italian surname with 11 letters staring with C ending in NE so looking for a short mn to go with Tessa or even either of the other 2 names.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:45 PM
I don't mind Tessa, it is a simple classic name - none of this made up new fangled nonsense.
I do admit that I prefer Evangeline though. I don't like Everly.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:46 PM
Also - Evangeline may be too long if you have an 11 letter surname!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:47 PM
Everly - awful
Evangeline - too prissy
Tessa - a winner!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:48 PM
Tessa is lovely.
Tessa Kate
Tessa Sabine
Tessa Chloe
Tessa Charlotte
Tessa Lily
Tessa May
Tessa Beatrice
Tessa Skye
I love Evangeline too.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:49 PM
I think Tessa and Evangeline are both gorgeous names I'm not too fond of Everly though.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:50 PM
Tessa is nice
what about Tessa Eve
other short mns
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:50 PM
Tessa is a great name.
I don't like Everly at all and Evangeline does nothing for me either.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:50 PM
Tessa is ]Beautiful

Tessa is nice
what about Tessa Eve
Ohhhh....I really like Tessa Eve... it will give DH his name and I was loving the EVE or EVA names hence the Evangeline and the Everly but didnt just want to go for Eve or Eva for the full first name
I was also thinking Ivy for the middle name but Eve could be a winner
Thank you!!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 12:58 PM
I don't like Evangeline. Never have, and I don't know why.
Tessa is great. Doesn't wow me, but it's very nice.
ETA: Just saw your above post. What about Tessa Evelina?

Tessa Eve C...ne is an incredibly beautiful name, and when you say it out loud is less clunky thank Ivy as MN since Ivy has that extra syllable
I also love the name Tess, which she will get as a nickname sometimes

QUOTE (DomesticDivinity @ 23/01/2013, 01:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Also - Evangeline may be too long if you have an 11 letter surname!
I gave my youngest son an 11 letter first name (6 letter middle name) with a 12 letter surname. I alternate between feeling sorry for him and having a giggle about it as is doesn't fit on any official plastic cards, (license, medicare, etc.)
Op, I like Tessa and Evangeline together (Tessa as first name), but like a PP, I don't like Everly.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:04 PM
Yeah, i had thought Evangeline maybe too long with our first name but i liked it so tried not to think about that, I think you may be right though and it is too long.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:05 PM
Tessa. is OK.
Evangeline - LOVE!
Everly - nah.
I saw a name today that might be a good suggestion for you: Odette. I think it is lovely and classic (like Evangeline) but not as long.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:05 PM
Tessa Eve is really beautiful...
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:09 PM
Tessa is pretty and sweet, though I think of it (and Tess) as nicknames. A rather charming nickname though.
I like Evangeline. I am a sucker for -line names though.
Everly is not my thing, would prefer Evanthe or Emily.

Tessa Eve is just wonderful.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:22 PM
I think Tessa is a great name and Tessa Eve is a great combo, especially as it incorporates the Eve part you liked. Tessa Ivy goes well too.
I don't mind Everly.
Not a fan of Evangeline, I much prefer short names, especially when you have a long surname
Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:09 PM
Tessa is beautiful, we're considering it too. Tessa Eve is perfect for you.
I'm not a fan of either of the others.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:14 PM
Tessa is nice, instead of Everly, what about Evelyn? Eve is a lovely short mn that goes with about everything.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:22 PM
Tessa is the best of those 3. I think I read today that Dave Hughes called his me bub Tessa.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 04:35 PM
Ergghhh not a fan of hughesy so i might just have to block that thought out Dylans mummy.
Im hopeless, things turn me off names so easy so ill just ignore an annoying celeb using the same name
Told DH about Tessa Eve and he really likes it

NOAA: Shrimpers not responsible for turtle deaths
By SeafoodSource staff
Published on 10 August, 2011
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Fisheries Service has denied three separate petitions that would have immediately shutdown the U.S. shrimp industry due to unexplained sea turtle deaths in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA).
NOAA Fisheries said there was little or no shrimp fishing activity during times of increased turtle strandings, reported the SSA. The petitions were filed by the Turtle Island Restoration Network, Center for Biological Diversity and Oceana, and, according to the SSA, falsely claimed that shrimpers are largely responsible for the more than 400 stranded turtles documented in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
"These environmental groups are attempting to hold thousands of hardworking shrimpers accountable for the deaths of sea turtles that occurred when the fishery was not active," said John Williams, executive director of the SSA. "Their continued efforts to stop shrimp trawling divert valuable time and resources from identifying the real cause of the unusual sea turtle strandings."

Don't worry babe, you will see me again.
You'll see me with The One who treats me right.
One that knows how to love me.
You'll see all you could have had. And you'll regret. Regret like hell. Regret letting me go.
But the thing I want you to see the most?
You'll see; I survived without you.
You won't let anyone hurt her. But you'll hurt her worse than anyone else
Erasing someone from your mind could be easy,
getting them out of your heart is another damn story.
I don't hate you..........but I have lost all the reason to love you!!!
I don't miss him..
I miss dose moments we spent togeder..
I don't cry..
Its just tears havent got their place back in my eyes yet..
I don't sleep..
I just dream of him..
I am not alive..
I am just breathing for his life.....
Walking alone is not difficult
But when we have
Walked a mile with someone
Then coming back alone
That is more DIFFICULT
Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.
You Can Ignore Me As Long As You Want
You Can Never Change The Memories I Brought To Your Life...
A Heartbreak Is A Blessing From God. It's Just His Way Of Letting You Realize He Saved You From The Wrong One..

Where Have the 90-Degree Days Gone?
Much of the central and eastern U.S. has seen a remarkably few number of 90-degree days versus what we might expect during a normal summer as we reach the final week of August.

Must be you have not been outside much this week!The cool temps earlier this summer are probably our only saving grace,with very little rain since June.We will be shelling corn and running beans next month.

we are in mi. and no 90 this year , lots of rain and big crops comimg .
Posted by Arlen Meeuwsen at 3:52PM CDT 08/26/14
I just got back from a family vacation in McCall Idaho. I was led to believe the inter mountain west and west coast is where all the heat was positioned this Summer. We took a boat cruise on Payette Lake on Saturday afternoon and it was so cold at 2 pm that the boat crew dug out the blankets to keep as somewhat warm. So no heat out there. So where is it?

What is causing the "High Latitude Blocking" ?
Posted by Darwin blank at 11:19PM CDT 08/26/14
We had a fairly "cool" July for western Kansas standards, but August has made up for that. Most of the month of August has been mid to upper 90's with several 100 degree days mixed in. August 2013 was much cooler than this year. We've also only had very spotty rains. Localized areas have seen several inches in an event and fields within in a few miles getting trace amounts. Thru July we had grand visions of finally seeing a good dryland sorghum crop after numerous years of drought, but that is fading fast. Although we had some rains this summer the High Plains region in general is still very dry in regards to profile moisture. I know I'm hoping for an El Nino to maybe bring some much needed moisture to this region.
Posted by Brad Niehues at 8:54AM CDT 08/27/14
OMG, it is global cooling!!! We better pass some sort of treaty or global agreement to address this situation right now.

Where it has rained crops look good, but look to be a couple weeks behind. Some places have too much rain. Our area has picked up a little over 5'' thus far in August, however the ground has handled it well as it was getting dry prior to that. What does your crystal ball show for the next ninety days? I can't imagine having to deal with a lot of drying cost with an already pathetic corn market. Bean market nothing to brag about either. Weeds seem to be thriving everywhere.
Posted by GWL 61 at 10:09AM CDT 08/25/14
University information indicates it takes something like 20% of total dent to mature growing degree days (GDD) to go from 100% milk line to 50% milk line. A frost that kills only the plants leaves is expected to have a 5% yield loss at a 50% milk line (12% yield loss with whole plant killed at 50% milk line). (A 50% milk line would be 140 to 190 GDD short of maturity depending on relatvie maturity of the corn.) So a killing frost needs to occur near dent to have a major yield dropping impact. Drying "frosted" corn has its own problems. Freeport, IL

As Couchbase continues to experience growth as a company and increased adoption by the open source community we continue to encounter new challenges and use cases along the way.

Couchbase is a distributed, high performance, Cache and NoSQL database in a single cluster architecture. Despite a similar name and shared heritage, Couchbase is a very different product than CouchDB or any other NoSQL offering. Being able to monitor and profile Couchbase performance alongside application metrics is critical. Over time, monitoring is the element for a successful deployment of any mission critical system. This is true in general and even more important in distributed computing environments in particular.

Great location! Pleasant staff.
Bed could of been firmer with more fluffy pillows
Breakfast was great!
Did not expecially care for the small feather bed pillows.
Staff was very friendly. Hotel was very clean.
Do not disturb sign was completely ignored by cleaning staff. Room was cleaned and do not disturb sign was hung back up in the room.
Large room with frig and microwave awesome comfy beds and the best breakfast ever!!! Located close to Builtmore and downtown Ashville it was perfect for 4 sisters fall get-a-way. Highly recommended!!
Staff were very friendly and breakfast was enjoyable. We also enjoyed the cookies and coffee.very relaxing beds and quiet atmosphere will stay again
whirlpool could have been stronger and pool warmer
breakfast was well organized and items were restocked so you did not have to wait.
Signage was not lit making it difficult to find at night. It is tucked back off the street and very difficult to see from the road.
Every thing was great
The breakfast was delicious and was well stocked. Each day had a little bit different menu so if you are there for several days there is a variety offered. The location was great! It was just a few minutes from the Biltmore and all the activities we wanted to participate in. The rooms were very clean and had comfortable linens/pillows. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
Cannot think of anything we didn't like.
Most impressed by the quality of the free hot breakfast!
Breakfast was good!
My room is too close to the pool. The heavier curtains can't close so the pool light was on all night which affected my quality of sleep. Others were all satisfied.
The hotel was very clean and the staff was very helpful, best sleep I've had in a while!
- Clean rooms - Friendly staff - Free WiFi - Cable TV - Comfortable bed - Cookies!! Nom nom
- Beds not as super soft and comfortable as my friend's guest bed. :) (On a serious note, the pillows were kinda hard) - WiFi sometimes a little slow, not a major issue, it was free. - Radio alarm didn't have radio, the radio antenna was not plugged in and no where to plug it in. - Why were the cookies always gone? Too many nom noms?
covenient location to main highway and to downtown and local attractions
room was next to stairwell. noisey at times with people going up and down especially in the middle of the night.
close to downtown, and walked to the mall. Good price.
Overall the hotel was very satisfactory
Access in and out of the hotel road can be a bit difficult
The location to downtown Asheville was very convenient. Room was very comfortable and clean. Excellent Wi-Fi connection. Breakfast was acceptable.
Price was a little in the high side, parking could be challenging, due to it always being full in the evenings. No convenience stores in the near vicinity.
I like the continental breakfast, staff, cleanliness and comfort.
I didn't like the price from one night to the next changing. I thought the price was a little steep for this motel. I definitely didn't like the card in the rooms: changing linens and towels. I thought this was tacky and distasteful and disrespectful to the guests. I pay for clean linens and clean towels every night and this card should be removed from every room. I have never stayed in a motel/hotel where this card was placed in a room. This had nothing to do with environment but the fact that the motel wanted to save money at the guests' expense.
Clean comfortable rooms and beds. Quiet and peaceful.
A little pricey.
Clean, the cleaning staff was very polite. The desk day staff was nice and breakfast was very efficient also the staff was. Was very satisfy on how clean it was.
Location was a little deceiving on the internet. The young night desk staff wasn't very friendly just look and ask name. She didn't welcome or ask if we had any question just pointed us in the direction on which way to go, give very limited info on the accommodations.
Nice and clean
The breakfast
The property was seems old not as maintained. Breakfast staff unfriendly. I had just stayed at a Country Inn and Suites I loved in GA. This one definitely not as nice.
Friendliness, clean facilities
GPS took us too back of location.
