Common core technology provides benefits to Rolls-Royce MT7 marine engine
Friday, 30 April 2010
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, announced today that the principle application of the MT7 marine engine is the US Navy Ship to Shore Connector air cushion vehicle program, which requires a lightweight and robust engine. The MT7 is a variant of the combat-proven AE 1107 turboshaft which powers the US Marine Corps and Air Force V-22 aircraft.
In addition to offering an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, the MT7, through its heritage, is demonstrating excellent resistance to challenging environments, ranging from shipboard to desert operations. This experience allows the MT7 to deliver benefits to its users through extended engine overhaul intervals and lower total ownership costs.
Andy Marsh, President Rolls-Royce Naval Marine, said: "The MT7 is a fine example of how Rolls-Royce invests in core technologies that can be used multiple times across a family of engines and applications. Just as the MT30 was qualified to naval requirements for the LCS and DDG 1000 programs, we expect the MT7 to be equally successful. The MT7 is an important step forward for the naval business and broadens our product offering to meet emerging customer needs, especially for the Ship to Shore Connector program."
The company's common core engine family includes the AE 1107 turboshaft, the AE 2100 turboprop and the AE 3007 turbofan. With over 40 million flight hours accumulated on more than a dozen different applications, the AE engine family provides many advantages for the MT7 program. The common core architecture also allows the MT7 to benefit from an active, well established supply chain, and cost effective production, repair and overhaul processes.
- Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defense aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce today has a broad customer base comprising more than 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 38,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in 50 countries. The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment, and to further developing employee skills.
- In 2009, Rolls-Royce invested £864 million (~$1.4 billion) on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental aspects of its products, in particular the reduction of emissions.
- Annual underlying revenues were £10.1 billion (~$16.7 billion) in 2009, of which about half came from services revenues. The firm and announced order book stood at £58.3 billion (~$96.2 billion) at December 31, 2009, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Providing power from 3MW to 36MW, Rolls-Royce has one of the broadest ranges of marine gas turbines available in the world. Rolls-Royce has delivered more different engine models to more different navies of the world than any engine manufacturer.

Aug 19, 2014 7:34 AM by Associated Press
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) - Ukrainian officials and military commanders say the government has captured swathes of another town near the key rebel-held stronghold.
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that one soldier was killed and four wounded when a volunteer battalion came under mortar fire before entering the town of Ilovaysk, 18 kilometers (11 miles) east of Donetsk. Among the wounded is the commander of the Donbass battalion, Semyon Semenchenko, who said government soldiers destroyed three rebel checkpoints and four firing positions in ongoing fighting.
Government efforts to quell the pro-Russian separatist front have focused lately on gradually encircling the largest rebel-controlled city of Donetsk.
Volunteer battalions have proven essential in the government offensive against armed separatists in the mainly Russian-speaking east in April.

Linux Mail-Queue mini-HOWTO
Leif Erlingsson,
, Jan P Tietze,
v2.03, 2001-12-17, sendmail 8.8.7
Queue Remote Mail + Deliver Local Mail The Configuration Changes Neccessary to Make Sendmail Deliver Local Mail ***Now*** While Stashing Remote Mail in The Queue Until "I Say So".
1. Introduction
2. NON dial-on-demand solutions PART
3. Dial-on-demand solutions PART
4. Delivering e-mail
5. License
1. Introduction
2. NON dial-on-demand solutions PART
The original version of this part contained a lot of unnecessary stuff. This is all it takes, really...
2.1 Starting sendmail
Slackware et al: /etc/rc.d/rc.M:
echo "Starting sendmail daemon (/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -os) [queue only mode]..." /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -os # NOT "-bd -q 15m", the "standard" flags!
RedHat et al: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail.init:
echo -n "Starting sendmail: [queue only mode]" daemon sendmail -bd -os # NOT daemon sendmail -bd -q1h
The -os is not really essential, all it does is this:
SuperSafe [s] Be super-safe when running things, i.e., always instantiate the queue file, even if you are going to attempt immediate delivery. Sendmail always instantiates the queue file before returning control the client under any circumstances. This should really always be set.
This should already be configured in the default sendmail.cf anyway.
2.2 Configuring sendmail
Serious sendmail users use the m4 source for this. I recommend this solution if you ever plan on upgrading sendmail and also make anything but trivial changes to sendmail.cf.
If you never intend to fix sendmail so envelope return headers et al works even though you might be on dynamic dial in IP or something, then you may not need to get the m4 source.
Configuring sendmail.cf directly, for trivial configurations
This way of doing things is extremeley version dependent vs. sendmail.cf versions. The following solution is *only* valid for sendmail-8.8.x.
Edit /etc/sendmail.cf:
# avoid connecting to "expensive" mailers on initial submission? O HoldExpensive=True
... later ...
##### @(#)smtp.m4 8.33 (Berkeley) 7/9/96 ##### Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXe, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=IPC $h Mesmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXae, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=IPC $h Msmtp8, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuX8e, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=IPC $h Mrelay, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuXa8e, S=11/31, R=61, E=\r\n, L=2040, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=IPC $h
The important flag above is ``e''. Don't fuss if the other flags look different in your file. Keep your flags as-is, only add ``e'' to your flags according to the above examples, unless it's there already. ``e'' marks the mailers as ``expensive''.
Configuring sendmail.cf using m4 source
In the following I will, for simplicity, assume that the sendmail version is 8.8.7. If you have a different version, replace 8.8.7 with that version number below! Also, the instructions will not work for older versions of sendmail. Get the latest sendmail!
Download the sendmail source. Try ``http://WWW.Sendmail.ORG'' or possibly ``ftp.sendmail.org''.
I also recommend that you obtain my patch for allowing envelope sender reverse aliasing and other nice stuff to really make you take control over your mail environment.
They are also available from ``http://www.lege.com'', as is the sgml source of this mini-HOWTO!
You don't have to get my patches in order to get ``Queue Remote Mail + Deliver Local Mail'' to work. My patches solve other things. But I just thought this would be a nice place to mention them, as many Linux users will find them extremely useful. (They will even give you properly working virtual domains, if you like. The virtual domains don't have to be ``local''. They will give you ``xaliases'', or in other words ``reverse aliasing''.)
Unpack the sendmail source. You may get /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/. cd /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf
Now overlay my patch, if you want it, otherwise skip this step: If you don't want to use procmail as Local Delivery Agent, save away your /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/ostype/linux.m4 before doing this... Save my patch to ``/tmp/sendmail-8.8.7-cf-cpio-idcmu.gz'', then...
If you didn't want to use procmail, write back the saved copy of /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/ostype/linux.m4 again.cd /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf gzip -dc < /tmp/sendmail-8.8.7-cf-cpio-idcmu.gz | cpio -idcmu
And regardless of if you applied my patch or not, you must make sure these lines or very similar ones are added to /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/cf/yourhostname.smtp.mc (but if you applied my patch you may want to investigate filenames containing the word ``elijah'', under /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf):
2.3 Menu support suggestions
The 1.x versions of this document contained Menu support suggestions for /var/X11R6/lib/fvwm/system.fvwmrc. I have dropped those in the current version, but they are available on request:
3. Dial-on-demand solutions PART
Many Linux users access the Internet through a dialup line, and many have decided to implement dial-on-demand facilities on their system. That is, whenever an IP packet of some sort has to leave the local network or the local host, the link to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) will automatically be established. The link will be dropped after some period of time that no packet has travelled across.
Although this is very comfortable and cost effective, there is one special case in which this is neither comfortable (as the time to bring up a "traditional" modem dialup is very noticeable) nor cost effective, and this is sending e-mail. E-Mail is commonly sent by SMTP, either delivered by your own system or through a SMTP host on the Internet that usually resides in your ISP's network.
With dialup lines, every time you send a message the link will have to be brought up. This is quite okay if you send only one message, but if you happen to create and send multiple messages, bringing up the line more than once can be tedious and cost ineffective. Also, if your ISP imposes limits as to what times you are allowed to login, this would also restrict you to postpone messages at certain times of the day, and you would have to manually send them later.
Section 1 of this document will solve the situation, however in situations where an external DNS lookup would cause the link up, the link will still be established even if e-mail is just being queued. The reason is that sendmail wishes to "canonify" host names.
The solution to this problem is twofold: First, we'll have to moderately change sendmail.cf. And then we have to define the process of actual mail delivery. Personally, I prefer to have cron do the job for me and describe the necessary changes below.
3.1 Configuring sendmail.cf
For the reasons stated in [1.2], I recommend modifying the m4 sources instead of editing sendmail.cf directly. It will actually save you a lot of hassle and make configuration changes more verbose.
First, perform all the changes described in the first part of this document. Then go through the dial-on-demand specific stuff.
Configuring sendmail.cf directly, for trivial configurations
Configuring directly is highly impractical and anything but verbose, but obviously, this is your decision.
Close to very bottom of your sendmail.cf should be a line that reads:
Precede that line with a "#" so that it reads
Configuring sendmail.cf using the m4 source.
Add the following line to /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/cf/yourhostname.smtp.mc:
Your final sendmail.cf can then be built by issuing the following commands. Remember to always back up your old /etc/sendmail.cf before installing the new one:
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.bak cd /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/cf m4 yourhostname.smtp.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
3.2 Adding dial delay
It is oftentimes useful, especially when using modem lines, to have a dial delay installed. This means that if sendmail tries to initiate a connection in an attempt to send an e-mail (and this causes the line to go up) but the link actually takes more time to get established than what sendmail thinks should be a reasonable timeout, sendmail will simply wait some seconds and then retry.
Configuring sendmail.cf directly
Somewhere in your sendmail.cf could be a line that would read:
#O DialDelay=10s
(or very similar). Delete the ``#''. If there's no ``#'' at the beginning of the line, things should be considered okay (it just means this had already been enabled before).
If there is no such line in your sendmail.cf, add one (it is a wise thing to do to add this in the "options" part of the file):
O DialDelay=10s
Now change the ``10s'' part to the number of seconds you deem suitable.
Configuring sendmail.cf using m4 source
Add the following line to /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/cf/yourhostname.smtp.mc:
Now change the ``10s'' part to the number of seconds you deem suitable.
Your final sendmail.cf can then be built by issuing the following commands. Remember to always back up your old /etc/sendmail.cf before installing the new one:
cp /etc/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf.bak cd /usr/src/sendmail-8.8.7/cf/cf m4 yourhostname.smtp.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
4. Delivering e-mail
E-Mail delivery can be invoked by issuing the command "sendmail -q". For those who are interested in what sendmail actually does, "sendmail -q -v" will give a more verbose version of the delivery process.
It is very convenient to automate the process of e-mail delivery. A tool commonly used for this process is cron.
4.1 How to have e-mail delivered at special times.
Edit your crontab:
crontab -e
Add lines of the form:
05 18-23,0-7 * * Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri /usr/sbin/sendmail -q 05 * * * Sat,Sun /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
Please refer to the crontab man page (available through "man 5 \ crontab") for further information. I think the format is pretty obvious. The example crontab entries shown above send e-mail (if, and only if, e-mail is available from the queue) 5 minutes after an hour on weekdays, starting at 6:05 pm, and stopping at 7:05 am. On weekends, e-mail is delivered 5 minutes after an hour, starting at 12:05 pm on Saturday, and stopping 11:05 pm on Sunday.
As a dial-on-demand user, it is sometimes desirable to have your system collect your e-mail via the POP3 protocol at certain times of the day. You could therefore add an entry similar to the following to your crontab:
0 21 * * * popclient -3 -u <your pop3 user name goes here> -p <put your password here> -o /var/spool/mail/<the user on your system that should receive the collected e-mail> <mailhost.somedomain.com>
Of course, this should all go on a single line.
Then, save the file and leave the editor. The crontab should now be installed.

Hi, I wanted any advise for growing over 2,000 heirloom tomato plant from seed... I want to have a giant Heirloom Tomato Plant sale at my sons school at the end of next school year/2015 to raise money for teacher expenses... I just wanted to know of a great, inexpensive, and hands-on-for-kids way to get the best looking healthiest plants possible... should we use plastic cups with peat and top them with another plastic cup for a mini greenhouse? or...??? I dunno... Any info would be helpful, especially if you know of a great online bulk place to buy pots or soil or stuff like that... Thank you, |

Does the school have a greenhouse? I could visualize various outcomes from this venture, some good, some not so good. By involving the students you can cut labor if the students are adequately trained on transplanting and daily care. I would give minimum consideration to the containers; commercial plastic pots are pennies each. Your biggest considerations for such an event are light, heat and water. Without those three components well planned you may be risking a waste of time. |
Raising money for teacher expenses is a great idea. I think this is risky though. Damping off. Bugs. Too much, too little water. Could you maybe see if you could get volume deals for some stuff and sell an heirloom 'kit' complete with potting mix, containers, seed, and instructions? |
I am a teacher and we did this for an activity I got a small grant for. We grew about 100-150 plants, tomatoes and peppers. If you have never grown plants from seed, I would start now small. There is a learning curve. I wouldn't try the first time be when you start 2,000. I am a market gardener and have grown my own transplants for over 10 years now. First of all, you would need to start them in small flats, 98's to a 1020 tray would be a good size then pot them up into either 2401's or 3601's trays that you could break apart to sell. Greenhouse Megastore is just one source for these trays. I would suspect you would want to grow single plants and not 4 packs. As most people will plant 4 tomatoes, but they want them to be 4 different tomatoes. You can grow these plants to sellable size under flourescent shop lights. Just make sure you use 2 four foot lights for every 4 trays. I would grow a variety of shapes and colors. Jay |

Compaq Presario CQ5810 Desktop PC support
This document pertains to HP computers with Windows 7.
This document provides a, secure process to follow after you use System Recovery to restore the computer to its original configuration. During this critical time when the computer is being set up, it is more vulnerable to security threats because it does not contain the most recent updates. Use the following steps to make sure your computer is up-to-date and secure.
Step 1: Connecting the hardware and completing setup after Windows 7 System Recovery
When setting up your computer after a system recovery, connect only the basic hardware you need to use Windows. These are usually the mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Make sure that the network cable and any wireless connections are disconnected.
CAUTION: A newly recovered computer has no security protection. Do not connect the network cable, printers, cameras, scanners, or any other non-essential peripheral devices and do not install any extra software until setup has finished and you have completed each step in this document. Remove USB storage devices and HP Personal and Pocket Media drives from their sockets during the setup process.If the computer uses a broadband Internet connection, do not connect the network cable (or broadband modem). The computer may be more susceptible to security threats during this critical period. If you need an Internet connection to complete a setup screen, try to bypass the screen and complete that portion of setup later. If this is not possible, temporarily connect the cable to complete the screen. Make sure to scan the computer for viruses immediately after completing the rest of these steps.
You must complete a series of computer setup screens before you can complete the setup process. It is important to fill out the setup information and wait for setup to complete. It might take more than 40 minutes before the Windows desktop displays. Do not restart the computer during this process. If the computer restarts, you might need to perform a system recovery before you can use Windows.
Step 2: Setting up a firewall after Windows 7 System Recovery
When setting up your computer after a system recovery, setting up a firewall will provide basic protection against security threats. Be sure to install the firewall before attempting to connect to the Internet. You can use Windows Firewall or other firewall software, such as Norton Internet Security.
NOTE:Do not enable more than one firewall. Firewall software programs can interfere with one another if more than one is open.
Use the information in the following section to help you set up a firewall:
- Click Start , click Control Panel, and then click System and Security.
- Click Action Center.If no firewall is enabled, an alert displays under Security.
- If the alert displays, click View firewall options to choose a firewall to enable.
- Click Security to expand this section and verify that a firewall is enabled.
- Check the status next to Network firewall. If the firewall is off, click View installed firewall programs to enable a firewall.
Step 3: Connecting to the Internet after Windows 7 System Recovery
When setting up your computer after a system recovery, enable a firewall before you connect to the Internet. After your firewall is in place, you can set up an Internet connection using information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If necessary, contact the ISP support number if you are having trouble setting up the connection or if you are missing important information such as passwords.
CAUTION:Do not browse the Internet or use e-mail yet! Finish the steps in this document to make the computer more secure before using the Internet.
After establishing an Internet connection, continue to the next step.
Step 4: Installing security software after Windows 7 System Recovery
When setting up your computer after a system recovery, after you set up a firewall and connect to the Internet, install a security or antivirus program to protect the computer against security threats such as viruses and spyware. Your computer may have come with a trial subscription to Norton Internet Security. If so, you can use this program.
Step 5: Updating security software after Windows 7 System Recovery
Make sure your security software is up to date with the newest virus definitions and threat information.
Use the information in the following section to help you set up security software:
For example, if you are using Norton Internet Security, do the following:
- Click Start , then click All Programs. Click Norton Internet Security, and then click Norton Internet Security again.
- Under Computer, click Run LiveUpdate.LiveUpdate updates security software and virus definitions.
- Next to Computer, click Settings.
- In the drop-down list next to Idle Time Scan, select Weekly.
After updating security software, continue to the next step.
Step 6: Downloading updates for Windows after Windows 7 System Recovery
Make sure Windows 7 is up to date with the latest critical updates from Microsoft.
Click Start , click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.
Follow the instructions to download and install all critical updates from Microsoft.
After installing all critical updates, enable Automatic Update (for Windows Updates) using the following instructions:
- Click Start , click All Programs, and then click Windows Update.
- Under Windows Update, click Turn automatic updating on or off.
- Under Important updates, select Install updates automatically (recommended) from the drop-down list.Choose an update frequency and a time to install updates.
- Click OK.
After Window Update is set to automatically update, continue to the next step.
Step 7: Updating software and drivers from HP after Windows 7 System Recovery
Use HP Update to install all critical software and driver updates from HP:

Woman Claims She's Too Pretty to Work; World Collectively Rolls Its Eyes
No, this is not a story from "The Onion." Limber up your eye-rolling muscles people, this one's a doozy
After landing a job as a scientific researcher, "The Daily Mail" reports the 33-year-old was forced to quit said job due to the constant harassment she received because of her stunning looks.
"Male colleagues were only interested in me for how I looked," Fernee told "The Daily Mail." "Even when I was in a laboratory in scrubs with no makeup, they still came on to me because of my natural attractiveness. There was nothing I could do to stop it."
And, of course, Fernee said the women in the office were worse.
"They [other women] assumed because I was pretty, I was stupid, so didn't take me seriously at first and, because of their own insecurities, were jealous of my looks. Then when they realized I was very good at my job, possibly better than them, they hated me even more."
Feeling sorry for her yet? It gets worse.
Now that she's quit her job, Fernee's parents are paying for her $3,000-a-month apartment, and they're also shelling out another couple thousand a month for her credit card bills.
Man, can't this exquisitely beautiful girl catch a break?
What do you think? Is this legit or a total publicity stunt?

See what happens to moderate Islamists....
Libya: Benghazi security boss latest killed in attack by suspected Islamic militant groups
FOR most of his tenure, Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, seemed uncannily alert to the lesson taught by his predecessor against waging unnecessary wars. Ehud Olmert's offensives in Lebanon and Gaza saw his popularity plummet from 85% in the first of days of 2006 Lebanon campaign to 3% in the months that followed, amid recriminations and a commission of enquiry into his war-time decision-making. The offensives not only cost him his re-election prospects but led to the loss of Israel's strategic alliance with Turkey, and worsened its standing worldwide. Careful to avoid those pitfalls, Mr Netanyahu opted for prudence, talking tough but acting with often marked restraint. If the Palestinians were quiet for much of his tenure, it was largely because Israel was.
But Mr Netanyahu's decision to kill Hamas's military chief, Ahmad Jabari—apparently by luring him into a trap—has put all that at stake. Fearful that challengers in the run-up to Israeli elections would dismiss his sabre-rattling as mere show, his war on Gaza appears designed to shore up domestic support. Of particular concern for Mr Netanyahu are the towns bordering Gaza, which are traditionally a stronghold of his Likud party. But its population is angered and exhausted by sirens that give them only seconds to rush for shelter, and called on Mr Netanyahu to act.
The longer the fighting continues, the harder the outcome becomes to predict. Six days of fighting has already shaken Israel's main population centres in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Many of its people hitherto felt untouched by Gaza's war and siege, but may yet blame Mr Netanyahu's killing of Mr Jabari for spoiling the calm. With continued rocket attacks south of Jerusalem, Mr Netanyahu faces public pressure to launch a ground offensive.
But the fallout is unlikely to be only domestic. The assault on Gaza risks triggering unrest in the West Bank, Palestine's other half which has been largely peaceful for six years under the rule of President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Buoyed by a sense of empowerment from their strikes on Tel Aviv, despite the limited damage, Palestinians have rallied to Hamas there as well as in Gaza. "No one from the left or right can criticise Hamas in the West Bank now," says a left-wing political activist in East Jerusalem. "They have proved that they can defend Palestinians, and develop a strong country, while the PA fritters its time on an international arena which gives it nothing." Inspired by the fighting in Gaza, skirmishes between Palestinian youths and Israel's forces in the West Bank have increased markedly in recent days.
Regionally, too, further Israeli escalation could put relations with Egypt on a knife-edge. Having forfeited one regional ally, Turkey, in its 2008-2009 Gaza offensive, Israel is loath to lose another in this one. Yet given the region's new geo-political map, increasingly its assault on Gaza is viewed not only as a war on Hamas but on the Sunni Islamist ascendency, as in Syria. Under pressure from Western allies to preserve his relations with Israel, Muhammad Morsi, Egypt's president, is running out of options to assuage Muslim Brotherhood anger at the bombardment of its Palestinian offshoot, Hamas. He has already withdrawn Egypt's ambassador from Israel, and is facing strident demands to sever relations altogether.
Sinai's instability compounds the uncertainty. Militant groups there have used the peninsula as a launchpad for rocket-attacks on Israel. Should Israel deem Egypt unable to control Sinai's militants and resort to military action on Egyptian soil, it could well find itself embroiled in open confrontation with Mr Morsi's new regime. Nor can Mr Netanyahu rely on unmitigated Western support. Fearful that escalation could further unsettle its fragile ties with Egypt and heighten unrest elsewhere in the region, including Jordan, America's president, Barack Obama, has already warned Israel against a ground offensive.
Hence Israel's interest in an early ceasefire. Its generals have offered to hold fire if Hamas does, and Mr Netanyahu has sent as his chief negotiator, Yitzhak Molcho, to Cairo to negotiate terms. But Hamas is pressing for a more formal arrangement, including guarantees that Israel will halt assassinations and normalise trade relations. It wants Israel to lift its land and sea blockade, and restore access to what were hitherto its primary markets in the West Bank and Israel. It also wants Egypt to re-open the border crossing at Rafah to goods traffic.
Hamas leaders argue that Israel's offensive has played into its hands by winning the movement greater regional recognition. Egypt's prime minister, Hisham Kandil, has visited the enclave, as has the Tunisian foreign minister, Rafik Abdesslem. An Arab League delegation and Turkey's foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, arrived on November 20th. The head of Hamas's politburo, Khaled Meshal, has held talks in Cairo with the Egyptian and Turkish officials. (With his rivals inside Hamas hiding in Gaza for fear of Israeli attack, Mr Meshal is back in the limelight, his prospects for continued leadership of the movement enhanced.) French and Italian officials have also offered their services, apparently as monitors of a future ceasefire.
Should the dust settle sooner rather than later, both sides could emerge with their political standing enhanced. Hamas will be seen to have bolstered its position inside the Palestinian camp, particularly in the West Bank, where protesters are again flying the Hamas flag. Mr Netanyahu could claim that he significantly weakened Hamas's missile capability, at least for now, and face down critics who claimed his military threats were just bluffing.
While the initial ceasefire may only amount to a cessation of hostilities, the challenge for both Israel and Hamas, once the Israeli election on January 22nd is over, will be to translate it into something longer lasting. Both have more to gain than just quiet. With Hamas now detached from Lebanon's Hizbullah, Syria and Iran and firmly in the Sunni camp of American allies, including Turkey, Qatar and Egypt, the attraction for Israel and Western powers to opt for political over military engagement has increased. For Israel, a transformed relationship with Gaza could yet offer a conduit for an improved relationship with the region's new Islamist powers. For Hamas, engagement with Israel could provide a means to transform its relationship with Western powers.

Libya: Benghazi security boss latest killed in attack by suspected Islamic militant groups
if you kill my son i will hate you for the rest of my life, until i die. i should forgive you for the bitterness i inflict on everyone that have nothing to do with it. but i can't. And i will warn anyone around how you should pay for what you have done.
Do the 6,000 families of US servicmen killed in Afghanistan and Iraq feel the same way?
Now you know the difference between the uncivilized and the civilized.
Try to imagine those rockets hunting after the Jews of Israel with nuclear material in them..., should Iran is successful to continue to finance, equip and train its units on Israel's southern border, develop and equip these rockets with such material.
What would be your reaction then...??
Hamas shares blame for the fate of Gaza. While their policy of haphazardly bombing Israel is far from unprovoked, it is nevertheless stupid and morally reprehensible. The early PLO can be blamed for similar reasons.
But after just having read a little under 50 books on the subject, it is difficult for me to feel confident that anything I might recommend to the Fatah leadership or the citizens of the West Bank would succeed in winning them a state. If they protest non-violently, as in the early stages of the First Intifada, they get beaten and imprisoned, and their non-violent leaders, like Abu Jihad get branded terrorists and assassinated. If they compromise in negotiations, as in the case of Oslo, they get duped, in that case getting vastly more settlement building. If they go into a negotiation prepared to bargain hard, as in the case of Barak-Clinton-Arafat, they run the risk of being offered something unacceptable that the Israelis later spin as being everything they could have asked for, but nothing is good enough fir the Palestinians. In the last case, the state offered to the Palestinians was according to Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami and President Carter thoroughly broken into cantons, and according to them both totally unacceptable and unmanageable. Of course, there are many stories flying around about what was really offered, because there was nothing put down in writing.
If the adult men protest, they are arrested and tortured and their homes may be bulldozed, a primitive form of collective punishment practiced by Israel. If the children protest, they often lose control and start throwing stones and are then often shot. I have even read an account of a western journalist from a prominent news source who reported having seen Palestinian children taunted by bullhorn, calling them "sons of whores," and when the children came out throwing stones, one was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier. And your beloved country has just assassinated several members of the press, the most salient feature if this story being that it appears to have become perfectly acceptable.
The failure of empathy, the inability to think yourself into the place of one's enemy, is astonishing in Israel. And I believe it is a sign of the racism that your brethren so regularly trumpet on this blog. One thing is for certain: the multiple binds placed on Palestinians will lead them to despair and to desperate measures. This is why, however ridiculous their actions sometimes appear, I will tend to blame Israel first.
Why don't you give some of those "toy missiles" to the children under 5 in your family?
Let us know how that works out.
Hedgefundguy: funny how you write like a hedgefundguy.
Clear sky. Israel is a terrorist state (NATO-Erdogan, Lord of Turkey).
What's going on in Gaza is just the mockery of the world leaders at civilization! Israel being a spoiled child of the west is experimenting its military power on the innocent children and people. Its only objective is to show how extreme and ruthless a state can be when it is backed by the US. Israel has learnt their lessons from the barbaric attacks on thousands of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan by the west in the name of war against terror in which the rest of the world remain just onlookers and cronies. The barbarians in the west and in the world are guided by the misleading theory that civilization is not possible without war and destruction no matter how many thousands of children, women and unarmed people are killed, which is reflected in the actions of Myanmar military junta on the innocent Rohyingyas as well. The world's superpower being the safeguard of these destructive forces is showing the world the brutality and setting bad examples of power on earth.
The Mideast has been having these religious conflicts for the last 1300 years. Religious strife defines the region. Muslims and jews wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they didn't have each other to hate on. America needs to butt out and let the mideast go sort out their own affairs, which may take another few thousand years. Eventually either somebody's gonna run out of bullets, or everybody will be dead. That's when it ends.
You attribute Hamas's belligerence to " continued oppression and land grabbing'. How come Article 7 of the Hamas Charter comes from the Hadith written centuries before Israel even existed?
Article 7 of the Hamas Charter reads:
"The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews."
Article 7 is taken from Hadith Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177 and quotes the Prophet Muhammad:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
The "underlying grievance" of Hamas as written in their Charter, spoken by their leaders, and explained by Ahmadinejad, is that according to the Qur'an, Jews and other Infidels (Christians, primarily but not exclusively) cannot be allowed to remain on any lands the Muslims won by force. Article XI of the Hamas Charter, among other places in the Charter, not a word of which they will alter. That is the grievance. Period. It does not matter a whit to them that this land has not been under Islamic control since it was lost in the war of the first World War. They fought. They lost. It should be over. It wasn't theirs anymore by the time Britain went for partition. Not on the ground. But in their heads it had always been theirs. It had been usurped by Infidels.
The Muslim can conquer by the sword vast lands that were never his; he can steal them from Christians and Jews and feel righteous because of the Qur'an. But let them attempt to regain the lands the Muslims stole from them and suddenly we hear all about how "wrong" that is. That is the grievance.
It was theirs and it is theirs for all eternity. This is not just in their "biblejJ", you see.This is in their constitution--their charter. This isn't just a relgious segment of their community; this is their government, which is one with their " bible". There is no division. This is the grievance. They need to reverse the consequences of World War I.
Ahmadinejad said it very plainly: they need to reverse the military losses suffered by Islam over the past 300 years. [Battle of Vienna. They lost.] And more recently, over the past 100 years. [World War I; they lost.]
So it's fine if Israel end up killing countless children and civillians? It's fine if Israel have killed ENTIRE families in palestine? So I'm guessing it's fine that Israel murdered the 11 month son of a BBC cameraman too?
These recent attacks started because Israel killed the Hamas military leader. Do you really think that anybody would sit by and watch their leader be killed? Not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Israel are the ones to be weary of here, attacking when it's dark, targeting civilian rich environments.
It doesn't matter who you are, black or white or brown, homosexual or heterosexual, male or female, stand up for simple humanitarian rights- water, shelter, food and definitely no INNOCENT CHILDREN being mercilessly slain through cowardly rocket attacks in the night.
Stand up, open your eyes and take a look around you, don't just stick to reading the same paper or website everyday, they will be bias, they have their own agendas. Read and make the decision yourself of what is really happening; don't let them make it for you. We have a brain which gives us the ability to understand and analyse...so why not use it?
When you ascribe certain feelings of remorse to Palestinians for the killing of Jews, you take your own culture and religion and circumstances and assume that these are transferable universally.
They are not.
when in some Arab countries the authorities cut off the hand of a thief, or stone an adulterous to death, or beat a woman who has been raped because she shamed her family, they are not sorry 30 years later. Why, then, should Palestinians, who are Muslim and taught only what Hamas, through Iran, wishes them to learn about Jews and even about the history of their region, feel remorse?
When Afghani solders shot Americans who were on their side, and training them to fight after the Americans leave (in order to protect themselves--these Afghanis, from their Afghani enemies--they were questioned. How could you shoot the Americans who are helping you? Because, they answered, yes the Americans are friends in this arena, but in the larger arena they are Infidels--the enemy.
Two months ago I was in London visiting the Churchill Cabinet War Rooms (King Charles Street) and going through the Alan Turing exhibit at the Science Museum. As I read the British papers and comments from readers on Israel, I wonder at what point has the country that saved western civilization from the Nazis in 1940 turned into one that finds every argument to attack Israel for defending itself from Hamas who shoot 16 Grad salvos at Israeli cities while at the same time executing their own "collaborators" in the streets of Gaza? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
One of the unwritten laws of war is this, 'Do not decapitate the enemy's leader, unless he is mad or lives very far away from you'
Israel has broken the rule. Consequences follow.
This predictable cycle of violence should cease, may be we should abolish elections, they are responsiblle for instability.
Twit. Obama gets his money from the American Jews who get their marching orders from The Yahoo. Get it? Shall I repeat it?
So really... If there were no religions, this would not be an issue. The world needs a second Enlightenment.
This article is highly misleading. It suggests that the killing of Ahmad Jabari is responsible for "spoiling the calm" and was done for political reasons. That is simply untrue. Three weeks prior to the attack on Jabari, Israel was bombarded with rockets causing serious injuries and property damage. The attack on Jabari was also accompanied by strikes on Hamas's rocket launching capabilities.
Gazans are Palestinian through and through, regardless of how much Israel works to divide and conquer. Decades of shared suffering and struggle has forged a strong national identity, young as it may be, and despite the terrible internal conflicts. Gaza will always be a part of Palestine, just like the West Bank. Those who dream of an Egyptian and Jordanian solution to this conflict should better wake up.
Wow this post ends optimistically. I hope the author is righter than common sense and history.

(CNN) -- Mitt Romney's presidential campaign released a new television ad Wednesday which criticized President Barack Obama over the auto bailout.
The spot, titled "Dream," features Al Zarzour, a car dealership owner from Lyndhurst, Ohio, saying that under the bailout measure, "the dream... that we worked so hard for, was gone."
"I received a letter from General Motors. They were suspending my credit line. We had 30-some employees that were out of work," he says in the spot.
Romney has argued the bailout was not the best solution to right the then-struggling auto industry, and has instead argued that a "managed bankruptcy" process would have been preferable. That is what ultimately happened, he has said.
Romney's campaign did not say where the ad would air nor how much would be behind the spot.
Obama's campaign has also aired advertisements centered around the bailout, including one in which an autoworker explains how the bailout helped him.
"Obama stuck his neck out for us, the auto industry. He wasn't gonna let it just die, and I'm driving in this morning because of that, because of him," Brian Slagle of Ohio says.
Romney's campaign also on Wednesday released a web video hammering Obama over unemployment.
The video cites the unemployment rate, job losses, and household income under Obama's tenure, and says, "Americans need a change. We need a new president."

Hi, today I noticed something yellow on the concrete part of my window, it looked very disgusting and to be honest, kind of creepy. Like a alien nest or something :-D I knocked it down with a stick and it fell onto the grass below my window. It was raining so after it stopped raining I went outside and took a photo of it, so this is a photo of it wet. Not sure what it looks like when it's dry. About 2 hours later I looked through my window and could not see it anywhere. (it was raining terribly during those 2 hours so I wonder if it melted?? or something). Can someone PLEASE help me identify what it is??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tough to say what it is. My first inclination is to suggest a dead something, perhaps a very fleshy leaf? If it's still there, collect it -- use gloves, tongs, whatever -- and discard it. |
Could it be (or have been) the seed of a fruit that was discarded? |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I fully expect to see the long-term situation in Afghanistan repeat that of
Vietnam. As we wind down the Taliban will wind up and effectively become a
second government in the more remote areas. A year or so after we have left
they will, as did the NVA, have a major military push and gain effective
control of the country. They will then put themselves politically in charge
as they will have the ability to murder politicians who actively resist them.
At that time Afghanistan will have the same type of government, but better
organized and internationally sophisticated, that it did when we invaded the
country. The USA mishandled the aftereffects of WW I, and thus created the
German need for WW II.
The USA mishandled the aftereffects of WW II and thus created the Soviet's
ability to set up Eastern Europe. The USA mishandled the Korean War by
allowing the creation of two Koreas. The USA mishandled the Vietnam War by
setting up the S. Vietnamese military to fight as we did, mostly dependent
upon mechanical war tools and unlimited explosives and then not providing
them to the RVN after we departed. The two Iraq wars have had the same lack
of follow-through and I see no plans that Afghanistan will be any different.
Obama has said that we are not nation-building there. To me, the bottom line
in Afghanistan will be that we have spent billions of dollars and thousands
of lives (Americans, allies, Afghans) to kill Osama bin Laden. Period.
We have had some after-war success. Both Germany and Japan, after WW II,
became positive factors relative to humanity globally but in both those cases
the USA directly controlled their governments until it was deemed that they
were structured properly to be representative governments which would no
longer pursue military solutions to internal economic problems.

Tucson shoplifter escapes by throwing soda can
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Authorities in Tucson are looking for a female shoplifter who fled after assaulting a store employee with a full soda can.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department says the woman is described as being in her 20s with reddish hair.
Detectives say the woman was seen by employees of a TJ Maxx store putting shoes, underwear and other clothing in her purse.
A loss prevention employee of the store confronted the suspect. But she reportedly pushed him out of the way and then threw a soda can at him, striking him in the chest before running out of the store.

SoG or ASM? (or somewhere else?)
My family always stays at either BLT or SSR. I have a friend who is asking me about SoG, and I don't know how to answer her. The lack of DDP and ME turns me off it, but I'm not sure if there are other benefits. The threads that I've looked at also make it seem like bus service (Is it the same busses other resorts use?) is slim pickings. Please share any advice/hints/tips/recommendation. Thanks!
We've stayed at Disney-owned resorts as well as SOG. If it were me and the choice was between a Disney value resort and SOG it would be no contest- SOG would win hands-down. It's a beautiful resort and the rooms are huge. Definitely comparable to a Disney deluxe resort. (It actually was a Disney-owned deluxe resort in the past.)
Now, realize that we do not use ME or the DDP even when we stay in Disney-owned resorts so YMMV. |
SOG is very nice and we enjoyed our stay. I didn't like the bus schedule but you are in walking distance to the Poly and can catch the monorail there. The dining choices at SOG are bad. Service slow and food is not worth the price. They don't have that Disney feel to it so if your into being surrounded by Disney during your stay I wouldn't pick SOG. Like the previous post I'd stay at SOG over a value but this coming Feb we had a choice between SOG and a moderate. I chose a moderate. The room is smaller but the dining choices are better, transportation is better and you can't beat Disney customer service.

Mobile cinema
This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2009) |
A mobile cinema is a cinema on wheels.
An example is the Screen machine Mobile Cinema of Scotland, which provides conventional up-to-date 35mm screenings of recent movies, with full digital surround sound, air conditioning, comfortable raked seating, and full disabled access. The French have their own Cinemobile system. There are also smaller mobile cinemas employing digital projection technology. Examples of these include the Gorilla Cinema solar powered mobile cinema established in 2000, which uses solar power and batteries to enable projection in even more remote locations, often taking place outdoors at night or housed in marquees and other temporary structures, and more recently the mobile cinema world has seen the relaunch of a recently restored 1967 custom built mobile cinema unit (see 'History' below).
In Italy since 2006 mobile cinema for two viewers Cortomobile projects short films and animations in cinema festivals[1] and has been protagonist of the First Car Film Festival (Florence) in March 2009.
Since 1995 Cinetransformer International of Miami Florida USA has circulated a fleet of mobile cinema units for use in event and experiential marketing. With a patented stadium style configuration of 91 seats, the Cinetransformer debuted as the world's first 3D mobile cinema at Comic Con in 2010 with the release of Jackass 3 In 3D, it was chosen again in 2011 to debut Final Destination 5 In 3D.
During the Russian Civil War between Communists and counter-revolutionaries, the early cinema pioneer Dziga Vertov helped establish and run a film-car on Mikhail Kalinin's agit-train. He had equipment to shoot, develop, edit, and project film. The trains went to battlefronts on agitation-propaganda missions intended primarily to bolster the morale of the troops; they were also intended to stir up revolutionary fervor of the masses.
In the late 1960s, Tony Benn, working under Harold Wilson's Labour government, commissioned seven custom built mobile cinema units for the Ministry of Technology campaign to 'raise standards' and promote British industry. The project was short lived and the units were sold off at government auction in 1974, most are thought to have been long since decommissioned and disappeared. However, one has survived via purchase by Sir William McAlpine to tour with the Flying Scotsman locomotive he rescued from America, and consequently donated to the Transport Trust in 1975 where it was in preservation for 15 years. It has since been through several private owners and following a full restoration is now in operation as Vintage Mobile Cinema, based in the South West of England.
Mobile cinema was very popular during the colonial periods in Africa when Landrovers were used as movie vans to transport a white linen screen, usually mounted on the Landrover, a portable generator, a 16mm projector and mounted loudspeakers. In this way rural areas received propaganda and educational films, usually shown in the evenings during dark hours. In the UK a mobile Solar powered cinema was launched in 2010. The Sol Cinema uses an LED projector showing short films in cinematic surroundings. They use lithium batteries to store the energy from the Sun to power the cinema all day and night. Their 3 photovoltaic panels harness the sunlight, even as the films are being shown so they never run out of power.
The Irish travelling Picture show[edit]

This section may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (December 2014) |
In Ireland, mobile cinemas operated from the 1920s to the mid-1960s, a portable wooden structure was erected, with seating for up to 250 people. The building had wooden sides and a canvas roof, approximately 40 ft by 24 ft. The 35mm projector was housed in a caravan at one end of the building. These shows travelled winter and summer in all sorts of weather, at times gales forced them to remove the canvas roof of the cinema some times at night when the winds made it hard There were up to 20 families touring Ireland, mainly in isolated areas where the nearest permanent cinema was miles away. These mobile cinemas stayed up to 3 weeks in a village before moving to another area. The families lived in caravans had their own generators and a stock of films with them. During the war transport became difficult as fuel for the motor vehicles was in short supply so some cinemas settled down for the duration of the war, whilst others reverted to horses to move their equipment from village to village and saved their fuel to run the generators even then they had to buy extra fuel on the black market at up to 30 shillings a gallon. The children of the showmen went to the local national schools for the duration of their stay, some went to 16 - 18 schools a year. Admission fees were around 1 shilling and 6 pence to 2 shillings for adults around the time when they ceased to tour in the 1960s The arrival of TV ended these mobile cinemas however they will be remembered for bringing cinema to the people in isolated areas some who had never seen talking movies. Most of the families changed to amusement shows some operated their own circus others went the way of stage shows some settled down to live in towns and villages, however most are still represented in show business by way of children and grand children The names of some of these families are well remembered:- The Lyons family, Mullens, Cullens, McCormacs, Courtneys, Lynns, McFaddens, Barrets, Corvinos, Roses, Gazetts, Bradleys and many more, the names of some have nearly been forgotten by all but the oldest In 1949 one of these families { Brian Lyons} was featured in the Times Pictorial in a full front page of images of their show and also an large article on other pages The photos were all taken in Rosscarbery west cork and contained some shots of locals sitting in the cinema. Over the years a number of these mobile cinemas went up in flames due mainly to the type of film that was in use which was made up of a nitro solution luck had it that no one was ever hurt though the buildings were destroyed in most cases . Most of those that suffered this fate were back on the road before long helped by other showmen. Today the name of McCormack is one of the names that still follows the roads to bring entertainment to the people of Ireland

Would not allow my husband to take his carry-on on the plane. He has used the same carry-on for 5 years! It's a duffle type bag that easily goes into the overheads. The seats belts in some of the seats have been shortened and others the same. I need something behind my back for support since the seats are so uncomfortable which made it impossible to belt on the shortened seat belt. The trays were filthy. I don't enjoy paying so much money to be torchered for almost 5 hours!! Every year it gets worse and the price just keeps going up.

Got an email from a buddy in RI who is doing some "head scratching" over a Kawasaki, 18 HP, 2 cylinder PROPANE on a big buffer. Muffler runs cherry red. He's changed both coils and plugs, checked compression, air cleaner was changed recently. From the little I know, sounds like the classic "running on one cylinder" and unburned gas getting dumped into exhaust. However, propane isn't something I'm familiar with. He routinely works on these and when he saw it, he immediately changed the coils and plugs as that is the "classic" fix. Bad coil out of the box? He still has an inductive timing light and I suggested he try that to verify both plugs are firing. Sorry, no model numbers. 17 here today, 50's by monday, this is winter? Ev |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check the valve clearance for proper specs. That has been my experience with some 4 cycle engines exhaust valve stretched or burned. It could be a bad exhaust valve causing a loss of combustion gases. loger |

It's running too lean. |
Have him check his spark plugs (white or light tan colouration) one or both cylinders are running overly Hot . I concur with Bill that probably a lean condition is basic cause. He may have a gasket problem on the intake system . |
I have seen a cherry red exhaust manifold on a 4 cyl fuel injection Volvo system due to a lean mixture after replacing an engine and the mixture h/n been adjusted. Otherwise, I have see it on small 4 cyl engines related to bad valves or valve adjustments. Good Luck! loger |
Thanks for all the good infor. I've passed it along. The good news is he has it working and it has gone back to the WalMart Super Center who owns it. The manager is very unhappy to pay him the $65 an hour, but his automotive folks can't fix it.....:-) It all came down to valve adjustment. I'll quote from his email: Conflicting opinions from two propane manufacturers, 5 and 7 thousandths from Onyx and 9-10 on both valves with aztec. Went back to 5-7 on the wet side (one piston had an oily residue) the other side was left at 9 and I'm not touching it!!! It's now running fine, no more cherry muffler. Wallyworld was also told they can call someone else next time unless my company takes over the routine maintenance. FAT CHANCE. The whole thing makes no sense to me!!! Thanks for all the information. Just wanted to tell you how the story ended. Ev |
