Yes but it is quite a shock the first time it happens to someone that doesn't know about it.

One thing I have always liked about bloods is the boody of a ball python and the head of a red tail
So hide yourself, hide hide yourself for now...

We'll heat our bones
Upon your empire burning
I do not need any more truthless heroes.

Sheila Coulson, Sigrid Staurset and Nick Walker
Coulson and colleagues describe the setting of Rhino Cave, named for a rock painting within it.
It is...easy to understand how the site evaded detection, as it is perched high on the northernmost ridge of Female Hill and can only be approached by scrambling over, or squeezing between, massive boulders. Gaining entry to the cave is only slightly less arduous. On the western side of the ridge there is a raised, narrow, crawl space that ends with a considerable drop into the site. Alternatively, the wider eastern entrance offers two options: a two-meter jump or a slide down a steep boulder face, followed by a scramble over a rock-strewn opening near the present day floor.
I love these kinds of sites where you know that every lithic was brought in by people. That can tell you a lot about how people used the site, and the authors use that to advantage. But Coulson and colleagues do not yet have new dates for the deposits. The old dates appear too recent and are problematic because of their mismatch with other local MSA sites such as White Paintings Shelter and ≠Gi, both between 66,000 and 95,000 years old. The Rhino Cave assemblage may be comparable to these in age. The paper reports that substantial amounts of exotic stone materials including silcrete and chalcedony must come from more than 50 or 100 km away, respectively.
There is a lot to the lithic collection besides the points, but I think these are interesting and certainly visually striking.
Coulson and colleagues noticed that many of the points were burned, and this was not easily explained by the incidental presence of fires in the cave, nor did it particularly appear to be explained in terms of the "heat-treating" that people used to make silcrete more suitable for artifact production at some other MSA sites.
In summary, there is a very distinctive pattern of burning at this site. A group of 26 MSA points and their associated debitage are heat damaged to the point of destruction. However, they have not been exposed to long-term burning of the type that is commonly found when an artifact is discarded into a hearth -- a common feature on any number of Stone Age sites. It is suggested that these MSA points and their associated manufacturing debitage were selectively and intentionally burnt in short-term restricted fires that caused their coloring to change to various reddish hues.
This is part of what Coulson and colleagues tentatively call evidence of symbolic or ritual behavior at the site. People climbed up to this out-of-the-way place with colorful stone from far away. The manufacturing debris shows that they made stone points in the cave. And they then left many of those points in the cave, some of them burned and destroyed or abandoned. At a minimum, it's curious. Adding everything together (including the cupules discussed below), it seems clear that the site was not used for purely utilitarian purposes. What that means about ancient social or cognitive systems is not obvious.
The article is open access, and full of amazing full-size color photos. I don't know why everyone doesn't publish their sites this way. For example, here's a photo of the site and night, where Coulson and colleagues experimented with flickering light against the carved wall:
This stone face, which has been pecked at and scooped out for many thousands of years, is the most distinctive aspect of the site. Coulson and colleagues believe that some of the existing marks reflect very great antiquity, and they have natural spalls of the rock face that broke off in MSA times and integrated themselves into MSA layers. Some (maybe most) of the cupules are recent, and the pictorial art inside the cave is also late. But at least some of the surface carving appears to have been MSA in age.
The paper discusses some evidence for pigment grinding at the site, including smooth-edged pieces of specularite and several small striated sandstone slabs (say that fast five times) presumably used as grindstones. Color goes together with the burning (to enhance color?), but this combination is not found elsewhere. Rhino Cave is in that way unique.
They indicate that the rock face is exposed to flickering daylight through a shaft at certain times, which they attempted to simulate with the flickering light photograph. Really I can't think of any better way to give readers an impression of what it would be like to visit the site.

A Crisis Avoidance Strategy
By Garth Rowan, Communications Consultant and member of the Agnes + Day Crisis Intelligence Team.
"Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
The powerful words of Margaret Mead bear noting and are especially important for organizations focused on crisis avoidance.
All revolutions start with a group of powerless yet committed people. Sometimes they are professional critics with a wider agenda; often they are simply adversely impacted neighbours, scared and angry, who see your project as an imposition. If you were in their shoes, you'd likely agree. The idea is not to confuse the two groups and above all, not to become the focus of the revolution. You do this daily by having great operations and strong relations with your neighbours.
Crisis avoidance vs. crisis management
We know crisis prevention is a much better option than crisis management. But what happens if the "revolutionaries" have made you their focus? The answer lies in how you deal with that group of committed people and how much of their interests you explore. In other words, why do they want what they say they want?
Sometimes powerless, frustrated yet resourceful stakeholders receive nothing for their pain and lose hope, which can turn into bitterness. If they are talented or lucky they can do a huge amount of damage to what seems to you to be a reasonable project. At best, any hard-fought contentious issue will consume large amounts of staff time; at worst, the revolutionaries may win and even stop an already approved project by cancelling your social licence.
You need to take action well before you get to this stage. This is not about giving up or giving in; you have to give something else. What you give is respect in the form of your attention. In other words you sincerely hear and understand what is upsetting your critics. If you look hard, there often are things you can do about their true and often masked, concern.
There is no upside in being on the wrong side of a successful revolution.

Italian designer Andrea Branzi collaborated with 2A+P/A to design a remarkable new art museum that takes the form of a light-filled urban forest. Planned for Slovenia, the New Maribor Museum attempts mix the daily activities of city life into the museum's exhibits. Covered in a completely transparent skin, the museum gives one the sense of looking in on an aquarium — the indoor gardens and exhibit halls are bustling with creativity, while the artificial trees generate energy and regulate the indoor climate.
The structure takes the form of a large, clear rectangular box filled with architectural elements shaped like "trees" that give the impression of a forest. Indoor greenhouses and sunken gardens dot the interior landscape, while three stepped platforms provide visitors access to different levels inside the museum. Ramps lead to the tops of the "trees" from which visitors can visit, lounge and explore. The museum contains areas for exhibits, theaters, cafes, a bookstore and a gift shop, a children's museum, a library and archives as well as office space.
Light suffuses the main part of the structure and filters down through the sunken gardens to the levels below. The trees also serve as environmental controls that help regulate the indoor climate. Some of the trees are structured as chimneys to facilitate natural ventilation, while others are outfitted with photovoltaic panels to generate renewable energy. Still more tree towers collect rainwater to irrigate the indoor green halls, and some serve as light tubes to pull light down to the floors below. Those are some pretty spectacular and useful trees!

With a few discarded mailing tubes, construction paper, and Fiskars Squeeze Punches you can craft these characters in under 20 minutes.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
I used the single sketch to create my three cards shown here - all in various sizes and formats. The sketch design uses the Ultra Shape Xpress tool as a fundamental element, and also makes it super-simple to work in your favorite Fiskars border punches. Finally, the wide range of Fiskars acrylic stamps are the perfect way to add the appropriate greeting to any card that you may find a need for!
Instructions: (Basic instructions for assembling a card corresponding the sketch)
1. Adhere patterned paper to top and bottom of card.
2. Trim strip of coordinating patterned paper and adhere in between.
3. Use your favorite Fiskars border punch to punch a strip of cardstock or patterned paper and then adhere that under the strip from the previous step.
4. Use the Ultra Shape Xpress tool and circle template to cut a circle from patterned paper or cardstock and adhere above middle strip, off a bit to the right side of the card. Accent with small chipboard shapes or punched shapes.
5. Stamp greeting onto cardstock and trim using Microtip No. 5 scissors. Adhere to circle element of card.
6. Finish off corners of card using corner rounder punch if desired.

10 Wildest and Weirdest Car Restorations from Monterey Weekend
Sure, the Monterey weekend car shows are peppered with eye candy like $200,000 Porsche 911s, $500,000 Ferraris and million-dollar Bugattis. How pedestrian. For a real taste of Pebble Beach, it's time to check out truly rare and truly strange. These are the one-off concept carsthe limited edition of an already limited editionand the oddities that have never been out in public before. These ten bizarre (and maybe even beautiful) cars caught our eye.
By Ben Stewart
Le Monstre
Believe it or not, this is a Cadillac. In fact, underneath that rather homely bodywork is a standard 1950 Series 61 frame and powertrain, with the exception of a five-carb setup on the 331 cid V8. The car competed in Le Mans and was nicknamed "Le Monstre" for good reason. That bodywork helped it achieve a top speed of 130 mph13 mph faster than the standard Series 61 Caddy.


text: For this project, I was tasked with contributing to the Saco River Estuary Research Project on through Omeka where I focused on digitalizing and describing maps of the Saco-Biddeford area. First the maps had to be digitalized and then had to be described and cited. Many of these maps dates back to the nineteenth century and with these maps I had to put them into collections and finally create an exhibit for these maps on the Omeka site.

Normandy Invasion, June 1944
A sinking Coast Guard manned LCI(L) limps alongside a transport to evacuate her crew, on "D-Day", 6 June 1944.
Wartime censors have painted out the landing craft's number, but she may be LCI(L)-85, sunk by German shell fire off "Omaha" Beach.

Spicy Roasted Tomato-Fennel Soup with a Parmesan Crisp Crust
- 2 fennel bulbs, quartered
- 8 beefsteak tomatos, quartered
- 4 small yellow onions, quartered
- 1 head of garlic, peeled
- 1 jalapeno, with seeds, halved
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 1/2 cup fresh oregano
- 1/2 cup fresh thyme
- Spread the first four items out across a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Put in 375 degree oven on the middle rack for 45 minutes.
- Broil just until some of the vegetables develop a nice char.
- Put all of the roasted vegetables in a large stock pot or (preferably) a ceramic Dutch oven pot and put the lid on (make sure you get the juices and oil left on the cookie sheet into the pot as well).
- Let it cook over medium heat for another 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Take it off of the heat and add the jalapenos, basil, oregano, and thyme to the pot.
- With an immersion blender, blend the soup until it has a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Put it back on low heat and keep it there for at least another 30 minutes or until you're ready to serve it (be warned- the longer you leave it on the stove, the spicier the soup will be)
Parmesan Crisp
- Parmesan (grated into thick strips)
- Butter
- Butter a cookie sheet
- Make a circle out of a thin layer of parmesan for each bowl of soup you'll be serving (use the bowl's circumference to approximate the size the cheese circle needs to be)
- Put in a 350 degree oven and leave it until the cheese melts and the edges begin to brown (be more patient than I was, it takes around 5 minutes)
- Let the parmesan cool and harden (again, be more patient than I was)
- Carefully, slip a spatula under the parmesan and place it on top of the soup in the bowl (if you want it to look like the picture above, add a large leaf of basil).
Disclaimer: The few measurements I include are not exact. I cook without measuring because I find it more fun and flexible. Please use my recipes only as a starting point and change up as much as you can or want to (then post a picture to the Facebook wall!).

Our physical therapist, Deanie, loves bouncy toys because they are great at strengthening the core (stomach), helping with balance and getting kids to be more aware of their surroundings as they bounce around.
Overall, we tested lots of bouncing toys & rocking horses and Wahoo is awesome...because it′s an attractive, well-made blow-up horse that is totally unique and great for a child′s physical development.
EXPERT ADVICE: For LESS bounce, inflate the Wahoo LESS if you are buying for a younger child.
RATINGS: Lots of people rate our toys. Look for the to see the toy's rating.
REVIEWS: We just started adding reviews. Not all toys have reviews, but all have ratings. If you want to review a toy, be our guest!

Americans are used to believing, and have thought since their beginning in 1776, that they are the freest country in the world—nay the very embodiment of freedom, and the firmest column of the "Axis of Good", opposing the forces of the "Axis of evil," and quite especially all totalitarian states in which human rights go without the unconditional respect they command, and in which freedom and liberty are trampled upon. It is certainly true that the US has in many situations, most notably in the disarmament of one of the most diabolical totalitarian states, Nazi Germany, lived up to the great historic mission of this country.

It's always jarring to hear moral indignation and moral terminology being deployed in the defense of moral evil. Here is National Organization for Women President, Terry O'Neill, answering a reporter's question about whether the President has a right to dictate that faithful Catholics pay for emplyees' contraception and sterilizations through their health care plans. In fact, she asserts righteously, President Obama has "an obligation" to force them.
One can't listen without feeling,
1) that this is a wretchedly unhappy woman.
2) that she supposes she has just delivered a crushingly dispositive argument instead of a steaming mass of moral confusion.

A friendly behind-the-scenes dispute with a Linde reader on the topic of religious liberty has reminded me once again how widespread is the confusion about the nature of conscience in our day. Many take it to be nothing other than a license for religious and moral subjectivism. The duty to act according to conscience is twisted into a right to do whatever I want so long as I don't see anything wrong with it.
So when a traditionalist Catholic hears someone (like me) claiming (as I do) that religious liberty is an imperative of human dignity, he thinks he is hearing a defense of relativism. When I say (following Newman) that conscience is the voice of God speaking in the human soul, he …continue reading

His excellency, George H. Niederauer, Archbishop of San Francisco, has published a letter to Nancy Pelosi laying out the Church's teaching on freedom and conscience. I find it very well done.
Freedom of will is the capacity to act with moral responsibility; it is not the ability to determine arbitrarily what constitutes moral right.
In reminding his readers of the objectivity of moral values, the Archbishop stresses not so much the binding character of the law as given by the Church, but rather the reality of conscience as the "core of the person" and the locus of his interior encounter with God. In other words, the Church teaches us not so much to "obey authority" as to …continue reading

Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Daily Shampoo Reviews
Extra Body Daily ShampooI was able to purchase a super jumbo size duo of the Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Shampoo and Rinse for $30. My 15 year old daughter has overdyed hair to her shoulders and my 16 year old son has a buzz cut and they both really like this set. You do need to wash twice to get the cleanest hair, but it really works well. Her hair is always soft.

Report: California ranks low in family economic security
Numbers show San Diego paychecks going to housing
New numbers obtained by 10News show California ranks low in family economic security, and the story in San Diego is also disappointing.
Cheryl Bennett spent her Thursday morning at a community center in Linda Vista for the free coffee and bread.
She and her husband are both on disability and their budget is tight.
"I'm not used to scraping by like this. It's not fun," said Bennett.
Bennett is hardly alone, as a new study from the Corporation for Enterprise Development shows Californians rank 38th among the states when it comes to economic security.
The report said nearly 50 percent of Californians have no savings on which to rely in the event of job loss or emergencies. The state also has a dismal ranking for bankruptcy rates and average credit card debt (nearly $14,000).
California also ranks among the worst when it comes to how much money residents are shelling out for mortgages and rent.
Experts say if you are spending more than 30 percent of your income on housing, you are considered at risk financially.
According to the group Equinox Center, the situation has improved slightly in San Diego County, but it's still bleak.
"About half of all homeowners and renters in the county spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing … significantly more than the rest of the country," said Sarah Benson of Equinox Center.
Among the local factors -- a still-rebounding job market, fewer apartment rentals and an all-time high for rents.
Another ranking from the national study shows white households in California have 10 times the net worth of non-white households.

Tarifa is now hosting the 2007 PKRA World Cup kiteboarding championship on 4-8 of July. The best international riders will meet in Valdevaqueros beach, the perfect location for this world-class event, the fifth stop of the PKRA World Tour Tarifa, in the south of Spain will once again be a convergence point for all kiteboarding enthusiasts in this part of Europe and the Mediterranean and will play host to this prestigious event for the second time.
The Movistar Kite Pro PKRA (Professional Kiteboard Riders Association) World championship will start on the 4th of July. After the qualifying rounds, only the best 32 male riders and 10 female riders will get to compete in the finals. Young rider and Spanish favourite Gisela Pulido, the youngest junior world champion ever at 13, will surely be vying for the top podium position once again as she try to stay at the number one spot of the PKRA World Ranking.
The Tarifa event will showcase three kiteboard disciplines in the form of Freestyle (the main discipline of the PKRA World Tour), Big Air / Best Trick and Race where riders will meet face to face in a show of extreme kiteboarding talents, mastery and wit. In Freestyle, riders will battle it out against an opponent in an 7-minute heat and will try to out-perform each other with some of the most difficult moves in kiteboarding that they can land. Judges will base their decisions according to the number of moves landed, technical difficulty, power, speed and kite angle. In Big Air / Best Trick, riders must do their best tricks as high up in the air as possible while the Race involves a spectacular showdown of kiteboarding speed and agility where riders race to the finish line as fast as they can.
The Tarifa round of the PKRA World Tour is sponsored by Movistar and Nokia, and already has more than 50 registered kiteboarders from more than 20 different nationalities, who will share US$40,000 worth of awards and prizes. Current world champion Aaron Hadlow along with Kevin Langeree, Youri Zoon and Spanish champions Álvaro Onieva and César Portas among others, will fire up the men's event with their spectacular tricks and compete for the much coveted title as the Tarifa champion.
In the women's division, Bruna Kajiya, Jo Wilson and Karolina Winkowska will meet young Gisela Pulido and other Spanish riders such as Ángela Peral and Noelia Nú?ez for the women's freestyle crown. The Tarifa event will open the kiteboard season in Spain, which will also host a second PKRA venue in Fuerteventura at the beginning of August, along with three other venues for the National Championship: Tarifa, Cullera and Ampuriabrava.

As and educator, I see so much that is relevant in this writeup! Take for example the first instance, one should not use technology which creates short cuts, so often students would rather the teacher sent important notes on e-mail than take down important notes as the discussion progresses. They just don't want to take the trouble in note taking and writing on their note books! More often than not the very purpose of using technolgy is lost when it is not properly used to enhace creative thinking, and problem solving. Technology becomes an end that is when it becomes deadly! Technology shouldn't be used when it attempts to replace basic skills that our society values, take for example using the calculator on your I phone to do basic calculations. Ironically, I have seen how technology has in fact reduced interaction, making students poor listeners, they simply will not listen to each other. Technology should not be used when it reduces failure. Today we talk about Experiential Learning. For me, personally, experiential learning is about learning from one's experiences, even if it means learning from the pain of failure. You didn't learn to ride a bicycle without falling even once! Often we jump at new technology, we become victims of the Shiny New Tech Syndrome according to the writer of this article! Just because the keyboard looks inviting, it doesn't mean you abandon pen and paper, or even stopped writing notes! The list goes on, and every reason listed in this article is very important. This is a wonderful article, a must read for all progressive Educators!

When the government shut down this month, so did the data-collecting and -analyzing wing of the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which meant no jobs report. (ADP and Moody's, being a partnership of two private companies, issued their report as usual, which showed that the economy added 166,000 jobs in September.)
Today is the BLS's makeup game after the rain delay, and the federal economists are showing their rust. Jobs numbers came in at 148,000 new jobs added to the United States economy last month. This is off the very low end of economists' expectations. With the long lead time this month, there was plenty of time for speculation. So anticipation of the number of jobs added in September ranged from 155,000 to 240,000.
The unemployment rate did edge down to 7.2 percent (from 7.3 percent in August), but since the monthly jobs gains came in at or under the rate needed to keep up with population growth, this drop is most likely attributable to more people leaving the labor force, a trend we've seen plenty of over the past few years.
The construction sector rebounded by adding 20,000 new jobs, after a flat August and, frankly, flat most of 2013. Of these construction jobs, 12,000 were nonresidential (building construction plus specialty trade contractors) while 5,300 were in residential. This is the inverse of what we've seen for the past year as we've watched the housing market recover from its doldrums.
In all, a disappointing report that we had to wait too long to see.

'Gear-Up' program expands
O'Leary, Murphy help add 3 more city schools to $11.2M college prep program
|Natasha Hidalgo mentors Jean Echavarriadela, 12, of Waterbury at North End Middle School in Waterbury in November. The new seven-year, $11.2 million, program of mentoring and tutoring is intended to get city children ready for college. Steven Valenti, Republican-American
WATERBURY — The U.S. Department of Education reversed course this week to allow the expansion of a new $11.2 million college preparatory program to three additional city schools.
In May, city officials celebrated the initial federal grant, which will follow up to 2,500 students from this year's sixth and seventh grades at Wallace, West Side and North End middle schools through their high school experience.

No, let me pay!
There are many, many social customs that confuse the hell out of me, but one of the most strange is the insistence of adults to pay for each others' meals. In the US, when I would go out to eat with my coworkers, we'd always split the bill among everyone. Each person would pull out their credit card, and the waiter or waitress would give us each individual bills. Simple and fair.
In Spain, however, there is a big "buying rounds" culture that was very foreign to me at first. While this somewhat extends to meals, in Spain the "no, let me pay!" issue comes up more often with buying rounds of drinks. Due to the geographical layout of towns and the prevalence of bars, there is a big bar-hopping culture. So it's very common to visit several bars on a midday walk with your friends, and in each bar, only one person in the group pays for the drinks. It rotates at each bar, and if you go an outing or two without paying for any rounds, people notice. I'm fine with this. The drinks are so cheap and the company so good that I rather enjoy it. You pay for a round, and then it feels, emotionally, that you get a bunch of "free" drinks after that.
What I don't get is when people get insistent, or even angry, about the right to pay. This is not unique to Spaniards. Americans do this too, but mostly over whole meals, which is even stupider.

As a result of the immoral and irresponsible herbicide spraying by the US under Operation Ranch Hand, it is estimated: 4.8 million Vietnamese were directly exposed to Agent Orange; 800,000 people suffer serious health problems and require constant medical attention; and 50,000 deformed children were born to parents who were either directly sprayed with defoliant or were exposed through consumption of contaminated food and water."
Over 18 million kilograms of 2,4,5-T, which constitutes 50 percent of Agent Orange, were sprayed on Vietnam as part of the fiendish US war crimes there.
In 1990, in order to keep the Agent Orange atrocities under wraps, the White House under President Ronald Reagan ordered the cancelation of a 1987 Center for Disease Control study, which had concluded that Vietnam veterans ran a 50-percent increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a type of blood cancer, as compared to veterans who had been stationed elsewhere. Today, the US Veterans' Administration assumes that all military personnel who served in Vietnam from 1962 to 1975 were exposed to Agent Orange.
Agent Orange defoliation operations by the US were not limited to Vietnam, either, but were also conducted in Korea in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). From 1968 to 1969, over 220,000 liters of Agent Orange were sprayed over some 8,500 hectares of Korean land near the DMZ, affecting an estimated 4,000 US and 30,000 Korean soldiers. Others claim that the deadly defoliant was used there as far back as the late 1950s. According to a US Veterans' Administration press release, "VA will presume herbicide exposure for any Veteran who served between April 1, 1968, and Aug. 31, 1971, in a unit determined by VA and the Department of Defense (DoD) to have operated in an area in or near the Korean DMZ in which herbicides were applied."

Israel's latest state terrorism
Immediate thoughts on last night's killing of between nine and 19 (depending on who you believe) violent or nonviolent (ditto) pro-Palestinian peace activists by Israel IDF commandos in international waters:
So far the best coverage I've found has been this day-long (their time) live blog by the Guardian UK. It speaks volumes that British, other European, and various other international English-language outlets (including Al-Jazeera English) have had much, much better and more comprehensive coverage of this incident and its aftermath than the US media. The comparison with British media is particularly appropriate since it's also a holiday in the UK today. But the relative lack of prominence here (despite, or because of, the US being Israel's biggest international military, economic, and diplomatic enabler); the straight face with which US is reporting conflicting and preposterous IDF justifications for the deaths (the peace activists attacked them with clubs and knives – no, wait, it was live fire from weapons seized from the commandos – no, wait, the commandos were ambushed by peace activists who brought the weapons with them!); and US media's failure, unlike most other countries' mainstream media, to have contacts with or representatives on the ships themselves or even to get quotes from domestic pro-Palestinian groups – it's all a depressing reminder of just how separate an information universe most Americans live in compared to the rest of the world.
* This was an act of piracy, and murder. Plain and simple. International waters. Soldiers vs. civilians. Civilians, moreover, with a track record of nonviolence, flying a white flag over a flotilla of ships loaded with humanitarian supplies. This will be a very, very big deal internationally, even if the US response is (you read it here) lame apologetics and mush-mouthed outrage.
*Three of the ships and many of the casualties are Turkish. The Turkish government – after rightfully calling the attack "state terrorism" – is now threatening to send more ships, accompanied by the Turkish Navy. Turkey is a member of NATO, and the US is obligated by treaty to defend their military if attacked. Hang on.
* There are spontaneous protests happening all over the world. Even in the US – so far I've read of protests being convened in DC and Boston. Haven't seen anything on a protest in Seattle yet, though no doubt there are people in Westlake Park at this very moment…
* This is redolent of the Mississippi Freedom Summer tactics, wherein Northern liberals didn't much care about the lynchings and horrors of Jim Crow until it was white student activists getting beaten and shot by the Klan. Palestinians continue to die on a mind-numbingly regular basis, but it takes the murder of a few international activists (many Europeans are also part of the flotilla) to get the world appropriately outraged. That's depressing. But predictable. Call it the Rachel Corrie Syndrome.
Perhaps with this latest bumper crop of martyrs, the deification of Corrie (after whom one of the ships in the flotilla is named) can be given a rest. Her 2003 death was deplorable and tragic. It was also one of thousands. The fact that she was American, or from our neck of the woods, shouldn't make her special. Same with today's deaths. The Gaza seige, the illegal military occupation of Palestine, and Israel's war crimes and lawlessness are the issues. These latest sad deaths are just more, completely unnecessary evidence of Israel's barbarism. And for those who think this is "different" because the murders occurred in international waters, remember that the West Bank and Gaza aren't part of Israeli territory, either.
A commenter at another site points out that legally speaking, this wasn't piracy, because Israel is a nation-state. This was, instead, an act of war against the country whose flags the ships were flying. (That would be Turkey, Sweden, Ireland, and at least a couple of other European countries.)
The US is, of course, legally obligated to defend its NATO allies against acts of war. Aside from his ability to string together complete sentences, it's time to see if Obama is any more capable of responding appropriately than Bush was.
At the UN Security Council today, the US moved to block a UN investigation of the massacre, calling instead on Israel to investigate. (This is sort of like asking Gary Ridgway to "investigate" the Green River Killings.) Meanwhile, the US State Department comes very close to blaming the activists for the attack, and the US is virtually alone among even its NATO allies today in not condemning Israel.
So much for all of Obama's rhetoric about getting tough with Israel. And so much for any progress Obama might have made in convincing the Muslim world that US policy under George W. Bush was an aberration. So much for change.

Valiant for Truth - The Bible
In The Word of God for the People of God, J. Todd Billings provides a grounded and carefully argued case for the importance of a theological interpretation of Scripture. With the breakdown of the Enlightenment and the myth of the autonomous interpreter, Billings asserts that all readers come to texts with assumptions and their own preunderstandings.
One of the most beneficial treatments for a Christian's spiritual anemia is a regular confrontation with the holiness of God because it causes a radical reorientation in the way he thinks about God, His holiness, and his own relationship to Him. The book Holy, Holy, Holy: Proclaiming the Perfections of God is a result of the 2009 Ligonier Ministries National Conference, which was themed "The Holiness of God" (vi).
I recently received a Christian bookstore catalog in the mail, and so I began to flip through its pages, naturally. One thing I noticed was how large the Bible section was. Among the many standard translations, KJV, NKJV, NIV, TNIV, NAS, CEB, ESV, RSV, NRSV, there was a glut of niche market Bibles
When working with foreign words, we should be aware of a very important distinction: the distinction between meaning and gloss. For our purposes, a gloss is an English word substitute for a Greek word. In simple cases, a gloss is perfectly satisfactory to get the job done. For example, if I were to define Greek patēr with the gloss, "father," akouō with "I hear," or hagios with "holy" this would be adequate for most purposes. But not for all and maybe not for many.
I corresponded with John Hughes recently and complimented him on a detailed scholarly article he wrote some years ago where he gave a most helpful treatment of Heb. 9:15-22. He mentioned in return that it was disappointing that his work seems to have made no impression on English translations that have appeared subsequently. Let's look the passage over (going only to v. 18 for time's sake). I will rehearse the heart of Hughes's interpretation of Heb. 9:15-18 and zero in on one phrase in particular that I find especially illuminating for accepting his conclusions.

What To Expect With Mail Order
Plants you receive by mail need time to adjust. Your lotus will arrive Bare Root (only root and little to no foliage). Upon arrival, they may not appear lush but given time & proper care, they will flourish!
Planting Instructions
Use Plant Bags or Plant Baskets to plant your lotus. Plant each tuber with the growing tip facing outward. Fill in around the tuber with aquatic planting media, making sure the roots are spread well and the crown is sitting just below the soil surface. Place in shallow area of pond to encourage faster growth. Once new leaves have reached the surface, your tulip can be moved deeper into the pond.
Lotus plants should be fertilized throughout the growing season. CrystalClear® Thrive™ Aquatic Plant Fertilizer or TetraPond® LilyGro™ Aquatic Plant Food or Laguna Plant Grow Fertilizer Spikes can be pushed into the soil at planting time and from April through August, following all manufacturers' recommendation for fertilizer application rates.
Plant Maintenance
For best results, trim or prune lotus as leaves and flowers begin to turn yellow or brown, remove them completely, discarding them to keep as much excess organic material out of water-body as possible.
Winter Care
Lotus on plant-shelves, in planting containers, should be trimmed to 1 to 2" and then gently lowered into deeper water. All plants submerged before winter must be brought back up as soon as the ice has permanently thawed, and before any plant growth occurs. In Zones 6 and warmer, most pond plants can tolerate being left in place without moving them at all.

If the engine does not crank (or cranks but won't start), the wireless control module (WCM) may have locked up. This is due to static discharge through the ignition key.

WKS851MP: Intellectual Property Protection
Class Number 812-53605
Do you have an idea, but are unsure if you should even discuss it with others, or wish you had the skills and knowledge to quickly decide how to protect your idea?Did you know there are several options available to protect your ideas, ranging from copyrights and trade secrets to patents? Did you know that you can get "patent pending" status for your idea for less than $150? And did you know that sometimes the best way to protect your idea is to make it public information?
The journey from the birth of an idea to successful product or business can be a long and arduous path. This workshop will help guide you through the process of quickly and inexpensively protecting your idea so that you can concentrate your efforts on developing and marketing your product.
This workshop will focus on the USPTO patent process, but it will also provide information on copyright, trademark and publishing options for protecting your ideas. Presenter Lou Lippincott will walk you through the entire process for one of his latest patent filings. After attending this interactive workshop, you will be able to write and file your own patent application for no more than the USPTO filing fees and postage!
Attendees are encouraged to bring a flash drive to the workshop and take home completed USPTO forms and sample documents.
About the Presenter: Lou Lippincott is an independent inventor who writes and files his own patents (he has more than 40 US and foreign patents!) He has consulted with international companies and helped them set up or improve their own patent practice processes, including invention disclosure, patent harvesting and patent selection. Now you can take advantage of his expertise to help you with your own Intellectual Property Protection process.
Disclaimer: Lou Lippincott is neither a patent attorney nor a registered patent agent and cannot give legal advice.
