Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected on Tuesday the issuing in Britain of an arrest warrant against Israel's former foreign minister for alleged war crimes, part of a Palestinian campaign against Israeli officials and soldiers.
Netanyahu had his top aide tell the British ambassador that Israel expected London to work to thwart such attempts, according to a statement from Netanyahu's office.
At the center of the dispute is a law that has allowed Palestinians to go after Israelis in British courts.
The statement from Netanyahu's office quoted the prime minister as rejecting the notion that leaders and army officers "who defended our civilians bravely and morally against a despicable and brutal enemy could be branded war criminals. We firmly reject this absurdity."
Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni was targeted for her role in last winter's brutal offensive against Hamas in Gaza, when she was foreign minister.
Israeli Public Information Minister Yuli Edelstein warned Tuesday that such attempts in Britain to pursue war crimes charges against Israeli leaders were harming relations between the two countries.
Netanyahu aide Uzi Arad told the British ambassador that Israel "expects the British government to act against this immoral phenomenon that attempts to damage Israel's right to self defense," according to the statement.
Livni's office refused to confirm media reports that she had been forced to call off a trip to London because of legal concerns. But on Tuesday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said a warrant had been issued for Livni. The ministry said the warrant for Livni's arrest was later canceled after officials learned Livni was not on British soil.
"We see it as really a diplomatic offense against the state of Israel," Edelstein told The Associated Press. "I think that it's high time that the British parliament does something about it. It definitely hurts relations."
Livni, a one-time lead negotiator with the Palestinians, enjoys a dovish reputation in much of the West. But as foreign minister, she staunchly defended Israel's devastating military offensive in Gaza.
Her support for that operation, launched to end years of rocket fire by Gaza militants against Israel, has remained strong, despite widespread international criticism and allegations of war crimes due to the hundreds of civilian casualties.
Livni did not directly address the arrest warrant in a speech at a security conference on Tuesday, but said of her wartime conduct, "I would make the same decisions all over again."
The British Foreign Office said Monday it was looking urgently into the case, adding that Britain was determined to do its best to be a strategic partner of Israel.
"To do this, Israel's leaders need to be able to come to the U.K. for talks with the British Government," it said.
The incident was the latest in a string of attempts by pro-Palestinian activists to have Israeli officials arrested.
Pro-Palestinian lawyers attempted earlier this year to invoke the "universal jurisdiction" law to arrest Gaza war mastermind Ehud Barak, Israel's defense minister, but his status as a Cabinet minister gave him diplomatic immunity.
In 2005, a retired Israeli general, Doron Almog, returned to Israel immediately after landing in London because he was tipped off that British police planned to arrest him. The warrant against Almog — who oversaw the 2002 bombing of a Gaza home in which 14 people were killed along with a leading Palestinian militant — was later canceled.
Other Israeli leaders, including former military chief Moshe Yaalon and ex-internal security chief Avi Dichter, have also canceled trips to Britain in recent years for the same reason.

gorgeous blush but i dont like shimmery blushes i prefer matte ones....gave this to my mom and she loved it though
I love this blush! I actually really like E.L.F products. They're super cheap but the packaging looks nice and the actual product is pretty good quality. Anyways, so I bought this at Target cause it was so cheap and really loved it! It looks super natural but gives a really pretty flush of color. A lot of blushes I have tend to look too much (I end up looking like a doll!) but this one is really great. One thing I will say though is that it doesn't stay for THAT long but it's not bad... Also, I don't know if it's just me but the packaging remind me of the Nars blushes... Anyways, would def repurchase!
Beautiful color! I have tan skin and it looks so pretty! The texture is a little bit chalky and dusty, not as smooth as the bronzer/brush duo compact I bought. Not sure why the texture is so different. However I am willing to forget the goofy texture considering the price is amazing! 3 dollars! Considering MAC blushes are 18 dollars and even some other drugstore blushes can be a bit on the pricey side. The compact is a slim and black with no mirror. I like how it doesn't take up a lot of room in my bag and is also pretty durable. All in all, I wish the texture was a little smoother but I still love the color and every else about it. Worth checking out for sure.
I'm glad I decided to try out Mellow Mauve, as it really is mellow. It's a very light, cool-toned shade which I find similar to L'Oreal's Tender Rose (my HG blush). I reach for it when I'm going for a natural look.
Really do like this blush. It is super pigmented especially for the price! Goes on Fair/Medium skin pretty well.
I've usually used Mac blush which I love but ran into this and for $3 it was well worth it! Blends perfect with my fair-medium skin tone: does the trick just as well as the Mac I feel and about 1/6 the cost.
Wow! I'm impressed! This color goes perfect with my skin tone....applied it at 730am and lasted until 5pm....I like this better than my Nars blushes....HG!

More reviews by stellamybrella
I ordered the "Tickled Pink" and the "Mellow Mauve" blushes, and "Mellow Mauve" is by far my favorite! IMO it's very pigmented and literally stays on my face after 8 hours after working in an oily, sweaty restaurant (!). I was really surprised, and the price is just fabolous. Some of the other reviews states that the color turned out to be a little orange on their cheek, so I think this blush may not be suitable for all skintones perhaps? (Unless you want an orange tone). This blush really turned out mauve on my cheeks, and it just looks so natural and I've got a lot of compliments. When I pick it up with my blush, however, it tends to get reeeeally powdery in the packaging, but it's not powdery at all on my face! As I said, I just get that natural glow to me with this one. Will absolutely purchase this again! Thumbs up E.L.F.
Yes, it can be a bit powdery. Yes, it doesn't apply as smooth as silk. Yes, it is not super pigmented. Yes, it doesn't last me forever.
But honestly I love this blush! I can wear this color with every outfit I have. It is a 'safe' color that gives you natural muted-rose-pink flush to the cheek. Well, the pigmentation isn't crazy but I think it's an advantage for me since I can build the color to the pigmentation I want. It's a really nice blush and shade for everyday use! I've been using this a lot since I first got it. A blush that is this inexpensive can't go wrong. I think I'm going to try another shade of this blush. In love!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My favorite blush! It's not over-pigmented, and it has a very buildable color. I hate shimmer and glitter in blush, and this one has micro-shimmer, but like the reviewer below said, it's not even noticeable on the skin. I apply this with my Lancome 6 brush and it looks super natural and great as an all-day, every day blush :) At $3, it's a super amazing blush and I am definitely repurchasing this one! The packaging is a sturdy matte black plastic case, very similar to the Nars packaging, and it has a little window on the front and a little mirror inside :) Go get yourself some! You won't regret it! :D
EDIT: Not so sure I'll repurchase ANY ELF product because I think they break out my skin. But that shouldn't stop you from buying it, my skin breaks out from everything.

Is there more than one save file for extra players in the house? Deciding if I should buy retail.
I am really surprised. What an awesome gift! I just cannot believe I didn't get one after all I have two accounts and both are platinum and have digital copies of animal crossing registered. Does anyone else have a spare, or don't plan on using? I'm a little late to the game.
Can you tell us if there is only one save file? Can multiple people use the same game card to exist in the same town like New Leaf? Is there mulitplayer with other people who have the game?
@grumblegrumble This is happening to me too. my 3DS XL won't update streetpass, it times out during the download. Now it actually gives me an error right away. Updated my original 3DS and everything went off without a hitch.
I wasn't interested in this game until I saw the trailer....It looks like they're using the DQIX engine, or have designed the game around that framework. Now that I know there is some element of battle I want this game!

Should a child stretch before exercising?
From Sally S. Harris, M.D., MPH
Should my child be stretching and warming up before exercising? What is the best way to do this?
Stretching and warming up are most important during periods of rapid growth, such as during the adolescent growth spurt. Stretching and warming up have not been proven to prevent injury, but they seem prudent. In general, activity sessions should be structures to include:
- Limbering up (5 minutes)
- Stretching (5-10 minutes)
- Warm-up (5 minutes)
- Primary activity
- Cool down and stretching (5-15 minutes)
Stretching should involve the major muscle groups and be done slowly and steadily, holding each stretch 15-20 seconds and repeating the stretch several times.

For many of us, the name "Einstein" calls to mind two things: genius, and unruly white hair. (Unruly white hair now almost evokes "genius" on its own.) But behind the iconic name and image, of course, are the man himself and his revolutionary work. This year marks an anniversary for both: fifty years ago, on April 18, 1955, Einstein died in Princeton, New Jersey, where he had spent the final two decades of his life. And one hundred years ago, in 1905, the then-twenty-six-year-old Einstein published five papers in the prestigious German science journal Annals of Physics. One of those papers, which explained how light can behave as both a particle and a wave, earned him a Nobel Prize. Two others explained the nature and motion of atoms and molecules. Yet another introduced the world's most famous equation, E=mc2.
But it was a fifth paper, describing his theory of relativity, that made him an international celebrity, a synonym for brilliance. His theory—which suggested, among other things, that it was possible for space-traveling twins to age at different rates—captured the imagination of non-scientists in a way his other work hadn't, because it upended our very concepts of space and time.
One recent Atlantic article, a review by physicist Alan Lightman of a republication of Einstein's 1905 papers, puts the nature and dramatic scope of Einstein's accomplishments that year into perspective. Lightman points out that in 1905, many scientists were convinced that the world's mysteries had already been solved. Since the seventeenth century, for example, Newton's laws of motion had successfully accounted for everything from "the bouncing of balls to the orbits of planets." And more recently, physicists had published detailed theories on the nature of light and heat.
But there were cracks in the façade. Physicists had long believed that time and space were of an absolute nature. Five seconds meant five seconds, no matter who measured it or where. And space was thought to be filled with a colorless substance called ether—a fixed reference against which all measurements could be made and through which light waves traveled. (It was assumed that light, like sound, could only propagate through a medium.) The trouble was, hard as they tried, physicists couldn't find this so-called ether. And the speed of light, which was thought to vary depending on the speed of the object emitting the light, always turned out to measure the same.
Einstein's paper on relativity, published in June of 1905, was modestly titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies," but it was universe-shattering. He eliminated the untraceable ether (calling it "superfluous"), and said that space and time measurements are not absolute, as previously thought, but depend on who is doing the measuring. Without absolute space and time, Einstein determined there is only one fixed entity: the speed of light. If it doesn't change in experiments, he asked, why don't we assume it never changes? From these postulates Einstein derived his special theory of relativity. (A decade later he published an expanded version—the "general theory of relativity"—which took gravity into account.)
Lightman suggests that to a significant extent, it was Einstein's attitude of open-mindedness that enabled him to conceive of such revolutionary ideas. "Einstein regarded all concepts as subject to revision based on experiment," Lightman writes. "There were no sacred cows—everything was open to question. A few pages into his paper he began questioning the meaning of time with the profound innocence of a child."
At the time Einstein's groundbreaking work first became known, many laypeople vaguely understood that he had wrought some kind of momentous transformation in the way science made sense of the world, but the specifics of his theories seemed utterly confusing and counterintuitive. The first Atlantic article about Einstein and his ideas appeared in October of 1920, four years after the publication of his general theory of relativity. Called "In Defense of Science," the short, unsigned piece offered a humorous take on how Einstein's strange theories about space and time might apply in the real world.
Do Bolsheviki attempt to agitate a peaceful community? Let our velocity be —dv(An), and presto! these uncomfortable characters won't have been born for a century and a half yet; and we may confidently leave their treatment to posterity. Do some of our enthusiastic officials suppress certain of the rights of man? Let us apply the formula Xdp = Y2, and whoof! they find themselves in the seventeenth century, where they may hunt the fearsome witch and wily Quaker to their hearts' content. Does my revered wife's uncle read aloud items from the Daily Transcript? Q = Pz, and lo! it's four o'clock, and the paper hasn't yet arrived.
"This is Truth," the anonymous author wrote, referring to Einstein's new theories—but a truth understood only by a "benevolent intellectual aristocracy" who can perform the necessary mental acrobatics to bend the laws of the universe to its will. In tones of mock solemnity, the author proclaimed the significance of this development:
And now, little children and reverend theologians, gather about and let us consider the situation. Do you realize what is really meant by Einstein's Idea? Why, bless your orthodox hearts, this is no less than a scientific Doctrine of Free Will! ... mind has assumed its dominion over matter; Man has come into his kingdom.
Less than a year later, Alexander McAdie, a meteorology professor at Harvard, published "Relativity and the Absurdities of Alice" (June 1921), which touched on many of Einstein's discoveries, including both special and general relativity. McAdie described ways in which Einstein's work had helped turned fantasy into reality. "Alice in dreamland underwent remarkable transformations," he wrote, "but the physicists are changing substances and analyzing structure of atoms in a way that makes Lewis Carroll's wildest flight of fancy seem humdrum."
Today any budding physicist can tell you without cracking a smile that 'a conception of the physical world in its objective four-dimensional scheme would merely be an abridged statement of the correspondence of the subjective time-space experiences in the realm of the various senses, and nothing more.' Remember, it is not the Hatter speaking now, but the average serious-minded young man or woman at college, who has been taking notes of the lectures on Relativity given by the Professor of Mathematical Physics.
By the time McAdie wrote his article, Einstein's relativity theory had been put to practical tests by astronomers and had succeeded. For example, general relativity had been able to account for a discrepancy in Mercury's placement in its orbit when closest to the sun. Discoveries like this one were a spectacular blow to pre-existing theories of physics, and helped to make Einstein a household name.

4550- Evidence Based Nursing - page 6
From looking at the classes starting in fall, I'm guessing that Evidence Based nursing is replacing Research? Anyone have any idea if stats is still required prior to taking this, as it was with Research?... Read More
- 0Aug 22, '12 by gigidanQuote from mtsteelhorsePlease mtsteelhorse, need you help with the options to get some elective courses done. I am new and unable to PM you--my email: gigidango at gmail dot com. ThanksI agree with chuckster. If you want this go for it. You don't have to take all electives at OU either. There are some quick options to get some courses out of the way. Feel free to PM me. One course at a time and you'll get through this. And call your advisor. I got credits after the fact by following up and sticking with the process. We're in your court! I'm right behind chuckster in credit hours and hope to go on for my masters.

- 0I am starting my first class the 27th. I have a question that maybe someone who is more OU experienced than me can answer. I only see Fall course offerings. Is it posted somewhere what classes will be offered in the upcoming semesters? It would be nice to plan ahead and at least have an idea of what I will be taking. Thank You :-)
- 0Aug 23, '12 by modgoth1Here is a link to the RN to BSN course schedule through 2015.
I don't know of any tentative schedule for non-nursing courses.
- 0Aug 23, '12 by hollierncrrnI am sooooo angry!!! I checked my enrolled classes tonight and discovered that 4550 has been dropped from my list of enrolled courses (without my knowledge). With classes starting monday I am hoping I can get this taken care of tomorrow!Last edit by hollierncrrn on Aug 23, '12 : Reason: clarification
- 0Thank you Modgoth1, I "kinda" plotted out my upcoming years. Now I have an idea of what to take when. It's overwhelming to know I have 5 semesters to complete. I have been out of school for 14 years and never had to use the computer for studies. How may hours do you spend a week on schoolwork? I guess I am just scared of the unknown. Thank You.
- 0Cincinursemary, I will repeat what you said to me. " Take it one week at a time." When you think of the classes ahead, just think of the classes you have already completed. The fact that you have signed up and made it this far means you have what it takes to achieve your BSN. I am here for the journey with you!
- 0Aug 24, '12 by hollierncrrnI'm back in. Apparently there were a number of students dropped by accident. I hope they are able to identify everyone affected and correct it by Monday.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Buika (pronounced BWEE-kah) was born María Concepción Balboa Buika on the Spanish island of Mallorca. If that's not spicy enough for you, her parents were political exiles from Equatorial Guinea. Like many a young lass, her early musical allegiances were to Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. Inundated with many kinds of sounds, Buika gave it a go herself, singing in small venues across Europe. A chance meeting with producers led to involvement in the Euro-rave scene in Spain and Germany. After a time in London, she ended up in Las Vegas, working as a Tina Turner impersonator (no foolin'!). Yearning to do it her way, Spain and the sultry ache of its traditional coplas (Spanish torch songs from a woman's viewpoint) beckoned. Coplas are sort of like the American blues, and when Buika sings them with touches of flamenco and Afro-Cuban jazz, it makes her approach that much more unique.

text: I smoked for 22 years / 1 pack pack a day smoker.I tried hypnosis, patches, cold turkey, nicorette gum, zyban- all to no avail. Limited successes. short term quits. Chantix = WOW! It helps tremendously with the cravings, the most difficult part was just changing the "habit" of reaching for one at those times that most smokers want one. You can smoke while taking this, which is a lot less scary than going it alone cold turkey. By the end of the first week, I no longer wanted one. If I did light up, it was out of "habit" & I managed about 2 puffs, then felt icky, and a bit nauseous. (Which is what it is supposed to do) I have recommended this to every smoker that I know! Side effects: Gas (throughout), Drowsies (around the 4th week),Eating (make healthy choices now) I was ready to quit before the 2 month mark, I took it longer just to be safe. Every person is different; take it for as long as you feel that you need to. Your body will let you know when it is time to quit the Chantix.

"These ribs are some of the best I have ever smoked on my Big Green Egg. I really like the rub and the Pineapple-Ginger BBQ Sauce is to die for.

Bisbee Gems
Hunt for treasure in southern Arizona's quirky mining hamlet.
"You'll love Bisbee – it's really funky." That's what my friend and I kept hearing as we planned our weekend sojourn to the former mining boom town nestled in the mile-high Mule Mountains, a little more than 200 miles south of Phoenix. That, and: "Watch out for bikers." A funky little biker haven? We threw on our jackets and set out to discover this jewel for the first time.
While Bisbee's eccentric reputation is well-earned – where else can you find a hearse-run ghost tour, a playground that used to be a cemetery and a spa that was once a jailhouse? – its edges are not as rough as most think. Instead, its multicolored buildings of time-traveling architectural styles line winding, sloping streets that lend a cozy, European sophistication to the eccentric mishmash of hippie, family, retiree, biker and hipster types populating them. Cross a twee Swiss village with an artist commune, add a sprinkle of Mayberry, and you get Bisbee.
Lake Havasu City
Adventures await – by air, land and lake – at "Arizona's playground."
Lake Havasu City's new slogan, "Play like you mean it," should include the disclaimer "results may vary." That's because the definition of "play" varies so wildly in this still-young river town, where well-heeled winter visitors and relocated retirees split the seasons with craft-beer-swilling spring breakers and boating enthusiasts. The dual-purpose vibe has proven a boon for Havasu, established in 1963 by a chainsaw maker named Robert McCulloch, who bought the London Bridge from the City of London for $2.5 million in 1968, reportedly outbidding actor Red Skelton. The reassembled bridge (now spanning the waters of Lake Havasu) has been a major tourist attraction since opening in 1971, along with the Parker Dam-created Lake Havasu reservoir and its glut of gorgeous coves.
Valet Parking
Led by cactus-hugging volunteers, Arizona's revitalized state park system beckons heat-weary Phoenicians.
They trim the plants, guide the tours and tend the gates. They are the volunteer citizen activists and accidental heroes of Arizona State Parks, the state agency that oversees our 28 parcels of protected wilderness. When the destructive winds of The Great Recession began to shutter park operations, these tenacious volunteer groups rallied to nip the squall. They go by benign names like Friends of Tonto Natural Bridge, Riordan Action Network and Hold the Fort, but make no mistake, they're fighters – battling to buoy and enrich the park system.
Utah's National Parks
A road trip to three of Utah's five national parks reveals breathtaking backcountry, hoodoo-filled hikes, and luscious local pies.
After three hours of canyoneering in Zion National Park (nps.gov/zion), our feet look like they're bleeding through our socks. Thankfully, it's just pulverized red sandstone flowing between our toes – a sign of a sated adventurer. "If you don't leave Utah with red sand in your shoes, you didn't have fun," says Gerard, one of two guides from Zion Adventure Company (435-772-1001, zionadventures.com) leading our team of six on a hiking, climbing, and rappelling foray into the heavily forested vermilion cliffs of Utah's most visited national park.

Atomic Tourism
Or: How I Learned to Start Road Tripping and Love the Bomb.
The end of the world as we know it could have been unleashed from this hermetically sealed, hospital-green silo 20 miles south of Tucson – and 35 feet below it. With the turn of two keys, a 103-foot-tall Titan II missile would have blasted off toward the mysterious "Target 2" somewhere in the Soviet Union. The inevitable nuclear volley would have spelled atomic omnicide. A radioactive miasma metastasizing around the world. Curtains for everything but cockroaches and creosote bushes. That was the idea, at any rate – a nuclear sword of Damocles suspended over the planet.

Construction work on a new roundabout on Highway 14 on the west end of New Ulm continues, with the project slated for completion on Monday, September 17th. Highway 14 will be opened to the public when the work is completed. Mn/DOT says that roundabouts are safer than regular intersections because their design prevents more serious crashes. The New Ulm Highway 14 roundabout has been explicitly designed to accommodate larger vehicles such as tractors and semi-trucks as well. Grading work and curb and gutter construction have all been completed at this time, and the paving of the roundabout starts this week. Work on the parking lot and the exterior of the new Menards store at that location is also wrapping up, with the store scheduled to open in the Spring of 2013.

This Product was re-named and re-packaged in 2014 as: Nutritious Radiant Vitality 2-in-1 Foam Cleanser.
*Its former name was Nutritious Purifying 2-in1 Foam Cleanser.
This product is beautiful, its a velvet luscious foaming cleanser! my skin is combo and i also get dermatitis and prone to hormonal breakouts. So you could say my skin is quite temperamental at times! i found this great not to stripping or tight after i used it, Foams up well and you only need a small amount so product goes far!
As its a cleanser not a make-up remover its perfect for cleansing your skin, otherwise you would have to use twice one to get make-up off then use again to cleanse. but you would have to do with any other cleanser also.
Would a 100% recommend its a beautiful product

This cleanser is my everything. I started using this when i had a huge breakout that lasted for nearly 2 years. You only need to squeeze out a very small amount to cover your face. It has a nice light scent and is very gentle on the skin. Leaves my face feeling super fresh and soft.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Not the best department cleanser. I like the idea of a purifying mask, but I never really got into trying it. The smell is a nice pomegranate fruity scent and its easy to cleanse with, but it doesn't wash off all my makeup, and I only use bb cream. It doesn't help with acne or do much. It is wayy too over-priced with what it does.
The BEST facial cleanser ever. It lathers extremely well and leaves the skin feeling really soft and clean. It is very lightly scented and I love the fresh smell.
The instruction asks you to apply it on dry face in the evening and leave on for a few minutes (as in masks) and then to wash it away. But I find that applying it on to the dry skin is not very easy and I don't get the desired result. Instead I apply on the wet face and use it as foaming cleanser both in the morning and evening- only in evening I leave it on for a few more minutes before washing it away.
I started using this before my wedding, and I am so glad that I invested in a good product like this because it (together with the Nutritious Vita-Mineral lotion) made my skin really glow!
Only problem is that I don't find the Nutritious range in the UK, I had to get my supplies from Canada! I really wish they start marketing it in the UK because there are a lot of Asians in the UK, the market this range apparently targets.
It is indeed very pricey but the tube lasts long (about 6 months, using twice a day) because you don't need a lot each time. The tube looks nice and is easy to use.
I have never been so impressed with any face wash as this one, and I would highly recommend it.

Beckett Baseball's Chris Olds caught up with collector Calvin Shuler, who found the Bryce Harper Superfractor in a pack of 2012 Bowman Platinum at Nick's Sports Cards in Dallas, Texas.
What was his reaction? What are his plans for the card? Watch and find out …
Update: The card was graded a 9 by Beckett Grading Services and will be sold soon via Beckett Select Auctions, the consignment arm of Beckett Media.
Your Take: What will the Superfractor sell for?
View Results
Congrats Cal!
Why bother grading this card? It's a 1 of 1! It's not like grading it would make it better than another similar card which might not grade as high.
I'd get it graded just to make sure it's preserved.
I wish him luck and I hope he gets what he's looking for but honestly my first thought when I saw the story where it was pulled is that a fair market price would be around $5-$8 K. I think $10 K is really going to be pushing the ceiling.
All I can say is this guy is addicted to cards for life now after having such an amazing pull. As a non rookie card if it sells over $5K. That would be amazing. If it was mine. I'd take the money andd take my family on an awesome trip.
I grade all my autographs, period.

Hi folks,
I am wondering if anyone else here has developed a pulley system to lift their heavy brewing systems around that can help me with some advice.
I currently BIAB on the stovetop but am limited to the amount of grains I can use for a couple of reasons including the size of my pot.
I want to move to a propane burner outside but still want to BIAB. My problem is that I was injured 20 years ago and do not have the strength I used to, so want to develop some sort of lift system to pull my grain bag out of the wort and hold it above the pot while it drains (likewise over my sparge bucket)
My first thought was to purchase and use an engine hoist, but then thought perhaps I might save some money by building a miniature swing-set type of frame out of metal pipe and attaching a manual pulley and chain to the center of the middle bar that I can slide back and fourth to get the grains from boil pot to sparge bucket and then to get the "sparge wort" bucket over the brew pot in order to drain that wort back to the original boil pot.
While I am sure I can configure SOMETHING like this and make it work, I do have one concern and that is how to secure my grain bag to the pulley or engine hoist hook. I was thinking of having SWMBO sew some metal eyes into the mouth of my grain bag that I could thread rope or cable through, but this seems like a lot of work for a grain bag that may or may not be good for about 10 batches of beer before needing to be replaced.
Do you have any suggestions on how to secure the grain bag to the pulley, alternatives to the grain bag (smaller grain straining pot to fit in the brew kettle to replace the bag, etc.) or tips on creating a lift system in general?
I want to keep costs down as much as I can because I am also going to need to purchase the propane cooker/pot, propane tank, and a wort chiller along with this contraption, so professional systems are not an option at this point in my life.
Any advice will be most welcome.
Two weeks to ferment, two more in the kegs
but in just one night it was drained to the dregs
Google the alton brown turkey derrick, he made a cheap pulley system for deep frying turkeys using a ladder, rope, pulley, and rope cleate. Pretty slick.
When I start BIAB, I think I'll build one of these Turkey Derricks. I have an aluminum brew kettle with a basket insert that I'm going to attach the rope to. They make Turkey Fryer kits that come with the insert and the burner, which may be an option. Just make sure to get a sturdy stand. Good luck, and let us know how it works out.
A handled basket seems like a great idea. The ultimate setup would be a reasonably priced electric winch but a pulley or chain hoist would be alternatives. If you need to move it laterally, an I-beam with rollers and a clovice would be the bees knees. I've also seen strut used for a track but it may be more subject to binding issues while sliding.
Wow, that IS pretty slick ... and cheap too, if you already have a ladder
Yes, the basket that comes in the cooker pot will be IDEAL!! ...fantastic... That is one problem solved!
hops2it, yes, I do think I will need something like what you suggest with the I-beam and rollers (a hoist and gantry type thing) I'll have to start looking into this a little closer and play with AutoCAD to create my dream setup. An electric wench would be really sweet, I agree, but although I am rather lazy that would be taking it to a completely extreme level!! ROFL!
I now feel I am going to take my time and do this right rather than making compromises in quality due to financial constraints. My beer is fine right now, so I'll make this more of a long term project while continuing my current brewing method for the time being.
When I get started, I will be sure to share photos and descriptions.
Thanks for all the advice!
Sounds like you've got some good ideas for the hoist. As far as your bag goes, does your wife make them or are you buying them? I think the easiest way to do that part of it, would be to have her sew a seam around the top that would hold a cord loop with two openings, like drawstring trash bags. Then you could just hook onto the cord at the two openings to hoist it up.
Somewhere between
your liver and spleen
its always clear
for one more beer!
I just have my bag which has loops sewn into the tops and i thread a carabiner through then and that brings them all together.I use another one on the rope end and that makes a pulley , all you have to do is rout it through at least 2x and that'll do the trick. It works for me. I throw a rope over a tree branch or use a latter for a support.
Good Luck
I'm going to wimp out and get a 1 or 2 ton engine hoist for the job. It won't have the "coolness" factor of the homemade gantry hoist, but at $200 bucks minus a discount if I buy at the right time from Harbour Freight, probably even cheaper if I shop around or pick up a used one, I guess I cannot argue with the practicality.
If the system were to remain in the same place I might consider just using a ladder or static hoist or something, but I need my lift to be somewhat mobile during my brew day.
Thanks for all the tips anyway!

Men, your life span could be directly related to the amount of education your wife has.
Researchers have already discovered that married people tend to live longer than single people. Of course, education and economic status also play a role in life spans, most often because the more educated someone is, the more financially stable they are and more able to afford preventative health care. Now, researchers from Swedish Institute for Social Research have found signs that a woman's education status affects how long her husband may live.
The researchers used census data gathered on more than 1.5 million people who were:
The subjects' records were reviewed from 1991 to 2003. The results showed:
When the researchers looked for reasons why this might be the case, they pointed out that women who are more educated may be more likely to run a healthier household and that this would also account for the difference between the man's education and the woman's. Since the household is very often the woman's domain, her choices would make a difference in overall health of the family.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## C'MON BILLY Performed by PJ Harvey Chords written out by David Heggie Firstly, the song itself is fairly easy to play chord-wise - there's no hard chords in it at all. There's a fair amount of muting of the strings, very like in her other song on the same album, "Send His Love To Me". No amount of describing would tell you how to play this - just listen to the record and play along - you'll get the hang of it. The chords used & how to play them are : Am C Dm Em e:---0-----0----1-----0----- Notice how she plays the Am chord B:---1-----1----3-----0----- it's played this way (hammering on G:---0h2---0----2-----0----- the E and A notes) throughout the D:---0h2---2----0-----2----- verses. Again, to make it A:---0-----3----0-----2----- clearer, listen to the record. E:---0----(3)---x-----0----- Here's how they fit into the Verse and Chorus : [VERSE] Am C Am C C'mon Billy, Come to me Am C Dm C Dm C Am You know I'm waiting, I'll love you endlessly. Am C Am C C'mon Billy, you're the only one, Am C Dm C Dm C Am Don't you think it's time now you met your on-ly son ?

On December 11, 2013, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") released the article, Social Media: Consumer Compliance Risk Management Guidelines, to educate financial institutions about the risks involved in using social media. There are no additional obligations, however, this Guidance strongly suggests that financial institutions, effective immediately, become educated on the potential compliance, reputation and operational risks as it relates to social media use, and implement these guidelines into their risk management strategy. Credit Unions, like Banks, can benefit from these risk assessment strategies and need to be aware of the reputational damage that can occur via social media as a result of neglecting risk management. Here are the summarized risks that Credit Unions should be aware of and integrate into their risk assessment process:

It is no surprise that 84% of businesses have now adopted social media to implement an online presence to communicate with customers and overall, increase their brand reach [1]. Whether a small independent business or a large B2B company, it is more evident than ever that businesses who do not build and maintain an online social media presence will get left behind, and evidently lack competitiveness. Having a social media presence offers clear advantages for marketing and sales departments, however, with this comes the disadvantage of having increased social media risks that could potentially harm the company's brand. Therefore, it is extremely important that businesses adopt a Social Media Risk Plan to manage their reputation online and know how to mitigate potential threats.

In the last 20 years there has been an evolution of cyber threats faced by both businesses and individuals. New technologies and social norms have changed the type and frequency of threats we deal with on a daily basis due to rapidly changing technology including the introduction of the Cloud, the proliferation of personal smart phone use, a push towards social engineering attacks and the ever increasing interconnectivity of technology.

It is important for businesses to understand how managing their reputation can influence how a company is perceived by others. Reputation Management was originally a focus for Public Relation departments, but along with the advancement of technology, there has become an increase in number of places for your brand's image to be affected. The internet, specifically social media sites, has become a major concern for an organization's search results.

One of the questions that customers ask BrandProtect most often is about social media policies and monitoring. Luckily, there are many great examples of processes and procedures in parallel areas of business that can be applied to this issue. At BrandProtect, we recommend an approach which is modelled around the "internal audit" procedures used at many companies to assess financial risks. The purpose of internal audit is to ensure that the proper "controls" (procedures and policies) are in place and are effectively being followed. They target "situations" that have a high risk score (high likelihood of happening and a high impact if they do happen). The best Internal auditing practices look not only at abstract metrics (such as incident frequency and risk exposure) but also at a company's strategic goals – different strategic goals will change a company's willingness to take on risk. Adding social media activity to the scope of an internal auditing practice will strengthen a company's understanding of risk exposures that could affect its business.
Here are the main areas where social media can be greatly impacted by the internal auditing team:

Earlier this month we were all informed that the Heartbleed bug which affected versions of OpenSSL, a widely used data encryption standard had potentially compromised our personal information. Around the world the response was the same "change your password". Seems like a simple enough solution, but if you are using an unsecure password changing it will not protect you for long. In addition if you did not wait for each website to patch their OpenSSL before changing your passwords, then your new passwords may have already been compromised too.

Things that nullify your Salah within each madhab?
Assalamu 'alaykum,
I'm looking for information about things that nullify your Salah. This in the context of each madhab (Maliki, Shafi'ee, Hanafi & Hanbali). So for example, in the Shafi'ee-madhab there will be other things that nullify your Salah than in the Hanbali madhab. I'm interested in those differences and some list or what that shows the nullifiers in each madhab.
I hope someone can help me out, insha Allah!
Wa salam.

Re: Things that nullify your Salah within each madhab?
Wa alaikum as Salaam,
In the Maliki madhhab, there are nineteen acts which invalidate the Salat. This is detailed by the famous metered verse poem of Imam Ibn 'Ashir (rahimahullah), which has been published and expounded upon in the primary fiqh text The Guiding Helper (pages 127-129). Here are the two divisions:
Invalidated if done intentionally -
(1) skipping one of the sixteen wajib acts in the salat,
(2) purposely omitting a stressed sunna of the salat,
(3) performing a wajib physical act more times than is required,
(4) eating,
(5) drinking,
(6) purposely vomiting,
(7) speaking a word or more not resembling the words of salat,
(8) intentionally making sounds not resembling words in prayer,
(9) saying the taslim when one is unsure about whether one prayed enough rakats.
Invalidated even if done by mistake or unintentionally -
(10) moving around excessively and not standing still, not including minor movements,
(11) getting a stain of impurity on the clothes,
(12) breaking one's state of ablution,
(13) laughing out-loud, must restart the prayer,
(14) becoming exposed during the prayer,
(15) turning one's chest ninety degrees away from the Qibla,
(16) being occupied away from a wajib act in prayer if the pain persists for a long period of time,
(17) remembering that one has not prayed a previous wajib prayer,
(18) not prostrating two prostrations of forgetfulness before the taslim after missing three or more stressed sunnas,
(19) doubling the rakats of prayer.
According to the Maliki scholars who have derived these principles based on the evidences, these are the acts which invalidate the prayer and anything other than these nineteen DO NOT invalidate it. I hope that this has satisfied what you were looking for, at least when it comes to the view of one of the madhhabs. Wa Allahu A'lam.

Superb! Jazak Allahu khayran, akhi! Can someone else help me with the other madhahib?

Re: Things that nullify your Salah within each madhab?
Assalaamu Alaikum.
I also want to know about each of these schools- Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali, Salafi, Ahjl-e-Hadith, Wahabi.
Also, what are the wajibs in each?

I used a free online image editing app called Pixlr to achieve this effect, but you can do much the same thing in other software, such as Photoshop or GIMP.
Of course, you don't need to use family photos. We'll even discuss how to insert your family members into exciting action scenes or far-flung landscapes. It's your coloring book, so you can choose the story! Even better, why not let the kids decide?
I'm going to talk through this process in a lot of detail, but that's only so that a complete beginner will feel comfortable. Don't be intimidated by the number of steps; you can actually complete the project in about 5 minutes!
Step 1: Choose a photo
If you're planning to edit any of the people in your photo onto another background, it helps if the original photo is taken against a fairly plain background. For example, you could start by photographing your kids fiercely brandishing toy swords in front of a blank wall, then edit them onto a pirate ship background later!
Save whichever photos you want to use to an easy-to-find file on your computer.
Thanks for posting.
and I have learnt a great deal about the photo/sw that I have on my PC , thx again
but I thought you were just going to say "click here" and it would be done.
This is like learning a whole new language.
The problem is that I don't have time to play with your ideas, and I know I'm not going to be able to stop myself.
You did a great job!
That the Christmas prezzies sorted
You're right about it working better with defined lines. This process essentially highlights areas in an image that have a sharp difference between light and dark, then turns them into dark lines on a light background. For your fuzzy dog, I wonder if it would help to use a smaller amount of blur?
Also, if you're planning to make an actual booklet of, say, 20 pages of pictures, you might not want to spend time cleaning up every image. OK, I admit that I would, but I'm a lot more nit-picky than the average three-year-old.
It's always hard to tell how tricky something like this is to someone who isn't used to using graphic design software, but I really think that this should be easy for anyone with even basic computer skills. If you can navigate to this website, I think you should be computer literate enough to follow all the steps in this tutorial!
Let me know how you get on or if you have any trouble.
I tried using another free image editor, PhotoFiltre. I loaded an image, then apllied Filter + Flatten + Plaster. Then clicked 5 times -Gamma.
I attached before and after images.

Lost and Naked: A tale of hacking in World of Warcraft
What would you do if you woke up half-way across the world with no clothes on, and just a mining pick in your possession? That was the virtual reality that faced Luke Maskell when he logged into his World of Warcraft character, Häwk, one morning. His character had been hacked into and everything of value had been removed and sold.
"They must have stolen around ten to fifteen thousand gold worth of goods and cash," says Luke, "they probably would have earned around £50-£80″. That might not sound like much, but for his character it represents months and months of play in the massively-multiplayer online world where one of the most controversial topics is that of gold farmers and selling equipment for real cash.
Selling gold and virtual items in World of Warcraft is very strictly against the rules set by developer Blizzard. The terms of use for the game state, quite firmly, that "you may not sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value outside of the Game".
But is it a crime? Well, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police told us that it was a very tricky one – it would need a test case to be determined, and it would depend on many factors. Complicating the matter is the fact that the virtual thief might not be resident in the UK, and Blizzard's servers might be sitting in yet another country again. I put this to the Police spokesperson who sucked his teeth and told me that a court-case spanning three countries would be "absolute madness".
"I certainly see it as a crime," states Luke, defiantly, "the online assets are in the end, property of Blizzard, and someone is selling this property for real-world money without permission, they should be treated as any other criminal."
It's not completely clear how the attacker managed to gain access to Luke's characters: "Virus scanners and anti malware software found a few stray cookies from websites I was unsure about, but nothing major like a trojan or virus. I don't think I'll ever find out how my details were stolen."
Blizzard, for their part, offer plenty of advice on how to keep accounts secure. On their compromised accounts page they recommend you change passwords regularly and warn against installing dodgy-looking game modifications or using power-levelling services.
They also sell a device called an 'authenticator', which hooks up with your account and generates a second password that operates alongside your main one. This password changes every five minutes, so it's impossible to log in if the authenticator isn't in your possession.
Luckily, this story has a happy ending for Luke: "Blizzard were great with the issue. I went through both the in-game ticketing system and their online support site to get my items and account back under my control, and they responded quickly and professionally."
"They advised me on steps to take to prevent any further hacks, fully restored all my items and gold, and even gave everything that was taken from the guild bank back, all within 3 days of the hack occuring. I was very impressed."
His guild – a group of players that he plays with on a regular basis – were also very supportive, too: "From my guild, I got a general response of sympathy and people wishing me luck in getting all my items and money back from the game moderators. I had a lot of people in the guild offering me some cash to get me back on my feet and replace my items"
If you're a player of World of Warcraft, or any other online game, put yourself in Luke's shoes for a minute. Think about how long it took you to acquire the items that you're using in-game, and how long it would take to replace them. Then go change your account password and buy an authenticator – in the long run, you'll be very pleased you did.
Internet Explorer 8 hacked within 24 hours
If you're going to announce that your new browser is the safest on the market, you'd best be damned sure you're right. It seems Microsoft releasing Internet Explorer 8 out of open beta yesterday was a red flag to a bull (or a challenge to a hacker), because within 24 hours a new exploit has been found in the browser.
The feat occurred at the annual CanSecWest security conference, which hosted its PWN2OWN hacking contest, where the exploit was found. A German hacker going by the name of Nils found it and claims a prize of $5000 in cash and a Sony Vaio laptop as a prize.
It's only fair to mention that the same hacker managed to claim an additional $10,000 for successfully hacking Safari and Firefox. There's still two days left for more browsers to succumb to the hacker's codey wiles – perhaps Chrome and Opera will let their guard slip as well.
Quick! Encrypt your hard drives now: Euro police could be hacking your PC
It's very easy to become alarmed by some of the scaremongering stories which appear in certain sections of the UK press when it comes to technology and privacy, but this one – if abused – could be pretty serious indeed.
According to The Times, The Home Office has developed plans to give the UK police force the power to remotely hack into the personal computer of anyone it suspects might be involved with something dodgy — you know, terrorism, paedophilia, drug trafficking, that kind of thing — without a warrant, with the additional joyous notion that police forces from across the European Union can request information on any British Citizen.
Yes, it does all sound a bit Daily Mail, but unsurprisingly it's raised the hackles of the human rights group Liberty, which has said that it will mount a legal challenge.
WPA Wi-Fi security gets cracked
There are several ways to crack a wireless network's security. The weakest, WEP, can be easily cracked using customized Linux software, but until today, Wi-Fi Protected Access (or WPA) had been considered secure. Not any more. Researchers have announced that they've developed a way to partially crack the encryption standard, but I warn you, it's not easy.
The researchers, Erik Tews and Martin Beck, have found a way to break the Temporary Key Integrity Protocol (or TKIP) in as little as 15-12 minutes. They have not yet, however, managed to crack the encryption keys used to secure the data that travels from the PC to the router.

UK town Stilton told it can't make stilton cheeseOctober 23, 2013 @ 9:14 am
LONDON (AP) - They make fine cheese in the English village of Stilton. Just don't call it stilton.
British authorities said Wednesday that a local pub can't market its blue-veined cheese as stilton because that name is protected by European Union legislation.
The Bell Inn has been forced to sell its cheese as "Bells Blue" rather than stilton.
The EU rules, based on British government guidelines, say the name can only apply to cheese from the English counties of Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, where it has long been made.
Stilton lies outside that area, but became renowned for selling the sharp-tasting cheese in the 18th century. It gave its name to the product, but historians are divided about whether it was traditionally made there.
A local cheese company asked the government to amend the Protected Designation of Origin rules to include Stilton. But the food ministry said it could only consider an application from the pub, because it was the maker of the cheese.
"If there were an application from the Bell Inn, we would consider it," the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said.
Bell Inn landlord Liam McGivern accused the government of rejecting the application on a technicality and vowed to fight on.
"It's ridiculous that we can't make stilton in Stilton," he said.
