How Israel builds its fifth column
Palestinian collaborators face mob justice, and fuel a culture of suspicion
Hani knew it was wrong.
But the young Palestinian says he couldn't resist the woman who seduced him in a field near his house two years ago. And he never suspected what was to come.
In the middle of the tryst, the couple was ambushed by Israeli security agents who told Hani (not his real name) that his wife would be informed of the infidelity unless he cooperated. He says he now suspects he was set up, but he admits he was an easy target wanted for a raft of petty crimes and a wallet full of fake identity cards. Within days he had agreed to trade his freedom for life as a collaborator.
Across the West Bank and Gaza Strip many thousands of Palestinians like Hani have been successfully coopted as informers. Precise numbers of those on Israel's payroll are unknown but figures of up to 15,000 have been suggested by human rights groups.
Israel's use of informants has prevented numerous suicide bombings. Yet in addition to enhancing Israeli security, collaboration has also developed a culture of suspicion such that anyone who runs a successful business or has access to hard-to-get permits is often suspected.
In Hani's case, the motivation was fear, not greed. "I agreed to work with them in return for clemency," he says. "I agreed to help them solve cases involving theft and drug dealing."
Last year Hani says his Israeli supervisor contacted him and asked that he watch two men from his West Bank village one a member of Hamas, and the other from Fatah. "I didn't want to do it but he said that he merely wanted to know their movements," Hani says. "I gave away extensive information about them. But fear came over me that they planned to do more than just monitor them. I saw on television how Israel was assassinating people and how they went after them methodically. I came to the conclusion I was helping this to happen and I ran away."

As a new resident of Connecticut I could not have been greeted any better than moving into a Avalon community. Read More Avalon has set the standard for exceptional living and luxury in a apartment community. They stand clearly above the competition with superior service and management . The property is beautifully landscaped and maintained in a fashion that when you come home it's so refreshing and energizing . I am truly proud to call this my home !

Jennifer G.
The apartments are nicely laid out and have new appliances. They do lack in sufficient storage in the closet Read Moreis you have a plethora of items as the pantry and coat closer are smaller than the standard size. The bathrooms are large and spacious with large vanities. There is a nice walk way to walk pets but it is fairly short and there is not a dog park on premises.

It's been a week here and I am nothing but pleased with Avalon. I feel safe and the environment is peaceful. T Read Morehe apartments are very spacious and I love the cleanliness when we first moved in. Anyone looking for an apartment should think about Avalon.

Republican incumbent Gary Bauer is battling challengers Fred Eldred, an Independent, and Sharon Ward, a Democrat, in the race for one of the Huron County commissioner seats in the Nov. 6 general election. Who gets your vote and why?
Bauer, Eldred and Ward - who gets your vote for commissioner?
Bader will stay in Huron County. He tried to buy the Mansfield track and failed. Not his fault but the Mansfield facility has all kinds of EPA and other site issues.
The issues in this commissioner election are not Summit nor the airport. The main issues are the incompetence, lack of energy, lack of vision, and lack of leadership ability of our current commissioners. They have played it "safe" by doing very little. They are captives of the local "Tea Party" movement and too conservative to bring about growth in the county. You cannot cut your way to prosperity and as business people know very well, you have to spend money to make money. Eight years is enough and it is OK to change and try some different ideas.
Ok I will put my two sense in. I have listened to Ward at several Holiday Lakes general membership meetings and she and her ideas are "out there" at best. When the directors were talking about generating funds to fund projects like dredging, paving roads, replacing docks.....her response was to have a bake sale. No lie. The look of the directors was purely priceless. It was like.....guys we need to generate hundreds of thousand of dollars soon and this woman wants to do this by bake sales?....Her ideas are off the wall, she is not a good people person and ill be the first to say that whoever approaches her first, she will go with that plan. Common sense is not common with her. Vote either of the other two, trust me you will be better off.

Contest Information View other entries here: http://tajii-chan.deviantart.com/favourites/49815114?offset=0----------------------------------------------:bulletbkac: Forwards and Thank You's! [Bullet; Black]Alright so we know that everyone usually just skims right past this part to see the winning entries, but I still want to start off with this because some thank you's are in order! Going through the entries this year was incredibly difficult (It usually always is!) because there were so many unique concepts and beautiful art pieces. After a certain point I had to enlist the help of my mom and sister, who managed to help me narrow down things a bit more. That having been said, there were a lot of last minute decisions that I had to make alone and I really focused on the execution of the concept and all of the little details.

Fifty-six players topped $100,000 for '04
Halfway through the weightlifting segment of the Washington State pro day workouts on Wednesday, in a small area of the football complex filled with sweaty draft prospects laboring to impress the NFL scouts, the near-silence was suddenly shattered by a scream.
The only other noises in the room were the grunts of guys straining to hoist the standard 225-pound weight in the bench press drill, the clang of metal on metal and the mumbles of league talent evaluators as they noted the number of repetitions for each player, and so the gleeful squeal was certainly incongruous. Then again, given the news that elicited it, the joyful outburst was understandable.
New York Jets free safety Erik Coleman, fresh off a terrific rookie season and back on campus to finish his degree work and to visit with his former Cougars teammates, had dropped by to watch the workout. And he had just received notification of an unexpected financial windfall. Coleman could barely hear agent Doug Hendrickson on his cell phone and so he asked him to repeat the message.
Sure enough, when the numbers Hendrickson read to him didn't change the second time, Coleman couldn't help himself.
"Yeah, I screamed so loud, everyone turned and looked at me," said Coleman. "It was a little bit embarrassing. And then honestly, I almost cried, I was so happy."
The source of all this emotion: Coleman is the big winner for the 2004 season (to the tune of $227,625) in the NFL's "performance based pay" program.
Play for pay |
Fifty-six players received "performance based pay" bonuses of $100,000 or more for the 2004 season. Earning $130,000 or more were: Player -- Team -- Amount FS Erik Coleman, Jets, $227,000 OT Shane Olivea, Chargers, $171,000 OG R. Wells, Cardinals, $151,000 C A. Stepanovich, Cardinals, $149,000 CB Kelly Herndon, Broncos, $147,000 CB Randall Gay, Patriots, $145,000 FS Will Demps, Ravens, $143,000 OG Jacob Bell, Titans, $136,000 SS Willie Pile, Chiefs, $136,000 C Daniel Koppen, Patriots, $135,000 OT David Diehl, Giants, $133,000 CB Terrence McGee, Bills, $133,000 LB Scott Fujita, Chiefs, $132,000 FS Brian Russell, Vikings, $132,000 OT Seth Wand, Texans, $131,000 |
Coleman started all 16 games and registered 100 tackles, four interceptions, nine passes defensed and two sacks. He played 77.8 percent of the Jets' defensive snaps, far more than he had ever anticipated when he reported to his first training camp. And because of that performance, and the PBP program, he raised his total compensation for the season by nearly 60 percent.
"My first agent [Ian Greengross] had actually told me about this program when I signed my first contract," said Coleman, who inked a five-year deal that included a signing bonus of $165,000 and standard rookie minimum base salary of $230,000. "So I kind of knew, as the season went on, and I was playing so much, that I had some money coming to me. But I was thinking, like, well, more in the area of $60,000. Maybe $70,000 at the most. So when [Hendrickson] told me how much it really was, I freaked out. He said, like, 'Hey, can I get a loan?' And I said, 'What do you mean?' Then he told me that I was getting that much money, and, wow, I just exploded."
What really exploded this season is the size of the payments the PBP program is making to players leaguewide.
In its first season, 2002, the PBP doled out $472,000 per franchise. That number rose to $1 million in 2003 and then to $1.784 million for the 2004 campaign. Not surprisingly, the size of the payments to players has skyrocketed exponentially as well.
For 2002, there were three players who received bonuses of $40,000 or more. In the '03 season, 82 players received checks for $50,000 or more, and 20 of them earned more than $70,000, with three players topping the $100,000 mark. For 2004, though, 56 players will get bonuses of $100,000 or more, 15 earned more than $130,000, and Coleman became the first $200,000 recipient under the program.
All but three franchises in 2004 had at least one player qualify for a PBP supplement of $100,000 or more and the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers had four each. Only one team did not have a player earn a PBP payment of at least $70,000. Certainly the money went precisely where it was supposed to, as nearly all of the 56 players who got $100,000 bonuses were players earning minimum salaries, but who started in more than half the regular-season games and performed in a manner exceeding those minimum base salaries.
Every player in the league who participates in at least one snap receives something from the PBP pool, which does not increase a player's salary cap charge. The pool to fund the PBP supplements is deducted from the overall leaguewide salary cap funds and it was essentially created by slowing the annual increases in base salaries and by blunting the increases in the annual rookie allocation pool.
NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw pointed out last year, in explaining the PBP program, that every team in virtually every season has at least one or two youngsters who out-perform their contracts. And the PBP is a mechanism by which those disparities can be addressed.
"Sometimes those players spend years, maybe their entire careers, trying to catch up salary-wise," Upshaw said. "This is a way to reward those players."
The PBP program is certainly one of the best concepts to come from the partnership of the NFL and the NFLPA. While it won't ever eradicate a compensation system in the NFL that often rewards players with lucrative contracts before they ever step onto the field, and is based on playing time and not statistical comparisons, it is very effective. And the overall PBP pool, and, thus the size of the payouts, will continue to increase.
"It's a little like getting the special Christmas gift you hoped for but knew in your heart that your parents couldn't afford," said New England cornerback Randall Gay, who not only made the Patriots roster as an undrafted college free agent, but ended up starting in nine regular-season games and three postseason contests, including Super Bowl XXXIX. "For a guy just starting his career, and making the minimum [base salary], it can be a big boost and allow you to do some things."
Gay earned a PBP supplement of $145,000. Along with his playoff payments, it meant he actually banked more in add-ons than in regular-season compensation.
For the gleeful Coleman, who had to explain his yelp of joy to his former teammates following the wrap-up of pro day, the record $227,625 payment probably translates into the new home for which he has been saving.
"I'm not too [frivolous] with my money," Coleman said. "I'm more a saver. Even when I got my signing bonus, I went out and bought a used truck instead of a new one. Maybe I'll treat myself to something small with this, but I'm not going to just [squander] it. This is like found money and I want to put it to use. I've been wanting a house pretty bad, back here in this [Seattle] area, and this means I'll get it a little sooner than expected."
Which would be sufficient reason, it seems, for anyone to squeal.
Around the league

Plus this is a draft class deep at the position, even beyond the Big Three (Ronnie Brown and "Cadillac" Williams, both of Auburn, and Texas' Cedric Benson), going into the second and third rounds, where teams historically have been able to unearth productive runners. All of that has made for a depressed market for tailbacks a term that Rosenhaus used and with which Colts president/general manager Bill Polian didn't quibble, in discussing James and his possible fate and pushed the value at the position down even further. Even with the markdowns on James and Alexander, don't expect teams to run to the phone to call the Colts and the Seahawks. That's because, while compensating those teams with draft choices has now become easier, compensating the two running backs with fat contracts is the more difficult element to the equation. James and Alexander are certain to use as a model the blockbuster contract the Washington Redskins awarded Clinton Portis last year after acquiring him in a trade from the Denver Broncos. But the Portis deal was pretty much an aberration, a by-product of having free-spending Redskins owner Dan Snyder in the mix. The NFL, as the first two weeks of free agency have again reinforced, isn't exactly the most fiscally responsible league around. But most NFL owners aren't going to spend $6 million-$7 million per year on a tailback, a position where one ill-fated twist of the knee can either end a career or send a player into quick decline. Running the ball will always be paramount to success. But it has become a thrower's league, a game of pitch and catch, an environment in which less-talented backs can still rush for 1,000 yards because they are hitting wider creases created by the threat of the pass. So while it was somewhat surprising that the Colts and Seahawks would open up the bidding for their premier rushers at a discount price, it wasn't altogether shocking.
• So who might consider dealing for James? Don't rule out the Arizona Cardinals, whose coach, Dennis Green, would love a big-time tailback to add to what figures to be a potent passing attack with Kurt Warner as the new starting quarterback. The consensus around the NFL is that the Cardinals will invest the eighth overall choice in the draft on one of the Big Three tailbacks. If they don't, remember this name as a second-round possibility: University of California tailback J.J. Arrington, who very quietly led the nation in rushing in 2004. But the book on Green is that he likes slashing-type backs and James might fill the bill in that regard. In fact, in a recent discussion, Green actually used James as an example of the kind of back he prefers. Yeah, it's a long shot, for sure. But the Cardinals have the cap room and have been very aggressive shoppers in the early stages of the free agency period. Plus, it won't take much of an upgrade, especially in the watered-down NFC West, for the Cardinals to possibly contend for a division crown.
• With premier backs such as James and Alexander now available at reduced prices, how are some of the other teams dangling tailbacks as trade bait likely to fare? Uh, probably not too well. The Buffalo Bills still haven't gotten a viable offer for two-time 1,000-yard rusher Travis Henry. The efforts by Denver and Cleveland to trade Reuben Droughns and William Green, respectively, appear dead in the water. Even in free agency, the market for unrestricted players such as Anthony Thomas, a onetime offensive rookie of the year, has been sluggish. As noted last week, the Bills aren't just going to give Henry away. But general manager Tom Donahoe, who had hoped to squeeze a second-round pick out of a team trying to upgrade at tailback, might have to either lower his expectations or get creative. One possibility is swapping Henry for a conditional fourth-round pick that would improve to a second-rounder if he rushed for 1,000 yards.
| ||||||||||||||||||||
It is not known whether the Colts would seek another top-flight back if James is traded, or try to play with Dominic Rhodes, who recently re-signed with the team rather than test the free agency market. There have been some rumblings in NFL circles that the Colts might try to pry restricted free agent tailback Brian Westbrook away from the Philadelphia Eagles. Even if those rumors were true, such a move would be difficult, since the Eagles have enough cap room to match virtually any offer sheet Indianapolis could make to the man who has become an offensive centerpiece. Westbrook certainly, though, has the diverse skills to be a big hit in an Indianapolis-style offense. But here's the bottom line for both the Colts and for James: If Indianapolis feels it can just plug any tailback into its offense, and that the high-octane passing game will make that runner instantly successful, it is probably wrong. And if James thinks he can simply change uniforms and post the same numbers he did in Indianapolis with a new team, well, he's mistaken as well. Part of James' success in Indianapolis was that offensive coordinator Tom Moore used him wisely. Sure, he averaged 335.4 carries in the five seasons in which he was healthy, but one never got the impression it was the Colts' intent to run him into the ground. That might not be the case with another team.
• Despite the statement released by coach Nick Saban this week that the Miami Dolphins neither plan to trade Jason Taylor nor move him to linebacker, don't pencil the veteran defensive end into the Dolphins' opening day lineup just yet. Sources within the organization contend that the Dolphins might listen if the right offer for Taylor came along. One reason: Some staffers feel that Taylor is an undisciplined defender at times, a player who freelances in search of the sack, a guy who doesn't take on blockers very well. They love his upfield speed but are wary, they say, of Taylor's alleged habit of getting out of position. We always felt that Taylor, despite his lack of bulk, played the run pretty well. Then again, our opinion really doesn't count, does it? And remember this: Before owner Wayne Huizenga hired Saban, the typically low-key Taylor was one of the players who publicly questioned the wisdom of hiring the former LSU coach. In any case, don't close the door on a possible trade of Taylor just yet.
• One defensive end who almost certainly will be traded is Darren Howard of the New Orleans Saints. Howard this week signed the qualifying offer of $7.8 million the Saints made him as a franchise player. And while that guarantees that money, and precludes New Orleans from rescinding the franchise marker, it doesn't negate trade possibilities. The Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys have inquired about Howard who, despite having to play inside at tackle in nickel situations in 2004, still collected 11 sacks, tying his career best. Seattle appears, at this point, to be the most ardent suitor, but don't rule out the Cowboys, who need a bigger defensive end if they are to transition to a 3-4 front in 2005. We've already extolled the virtues of Howard as a productive two-way defender in this space, so to further dwell on them would be redundant. But, clearly, he would upgrade the situations in either Dallas or Seattle. And, with former first-round choices Charles Grant and Will Smith on hand and slated to be the starters, the Saints see Howard as a bit extraneous, particularly with a salary cap charge approaching $8 million.

• The trade of unhappy wide receivers Santana Moss and Laveranues Coles, which had taken on a life of its own over a stop-and-start 10-day stretch, was finally completed on Wednesday when the latter successfully completed his physical exam with the New York Jets. But while Coles passed muster with the Jets medical staff, there are some personnel men and pro scouts in the league who feel the injury to his right big toe, which nagged him through the better portion of the past two seasons, remains a problem. Certainly the numbers at least hint that the damaged toe, on which Coles has steadfastly declined to have surgery, has been a bit of a deterrent to the wideout's authoring big plays. From his arrival in the league in 2000 through the third game of the 2003 season, the outing in which he suffered the toe injury, Coles averaged 15.0 yards per reception and scored a touchdown every 13.8 catches. In the 29 games since the injury, Coles has averaged 11.8 yards per reception and has scored a touchdown every 24.8 catches.
Coles is wary of going under the knife, he has hinted, because similar toe surgery prematurely ended the career of former NFL wide receiver O.J. McDuffie. That onetime Miami starter remains in litigation, having brought charges against the surgeon who performed his operation. In terms of the contract Coles signed with the Jets as part of the trade, it provided him even more security. There were still five seasons, totaling $21 million, remaining of the seven-year, $35 million deal Coles signed in Washington in 2002. By reworking the contract, Coles raised the five-year take to $25 million and received $8 million in guarantees. That included a $5 million signing bonus and three guaranteed roster bonuses of $1 million apiece. So, just since March of 2003, when he pocketed a $13 million signing bonus from the Redskins, the five-year veteran wideout has banked $21 million in guarantees. In his two seasons in Washington, he earned a total of $14 million, counting his signing bonus and base salaries. If he plays the entire five-year contract with the Jets, he will have earned a whopping $40 million in seven years, making him one of the highest paid wide receivers in history. The base salaries for his deal with the Jets are $1 million (2005), $2 million (2006), $4 million (2007), $5 million (2008) and $6 million (2009).

• Punts: Pittsburgh fans shouldn't start envisioning former New England cornerback Ty Law playing in black and gold in 2005 just yet. The Thursday visit to Steelers officials was initiated by Law, not Pittsburgh management. Law resides in nearby Aliquippa, Pa., and, as he continues to recover from foot surgery, is trying to make sure teams don't forget about him in free agency. Ravens officials have denied they are shopping linebacker Peter Boulware in trade talks. But there are some Baltimore staffers who feel that the veteran 'backer, coming off a 2004 season he missed because of injuries, is not a very good fit now that the club is returning to a 4-3 defense. The San Francisco 49ers are interested in wide receiver David Boston, released by Miami this week and still not able to pass a physical exam because of the knee injury that sidelined him all last season. The rationale of the 49ers is that Boston had his best seasons in Arizona under Jerry Sullivan, the new San Francisco receivers coach. The Dolphins thought that, too, but the knee injury suffered in training camp rendered the matter moot. Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack played mostly at right tackle in Seattle but several teams, including Buffalo and Green Bay, are considering the unrestricted free agent as a guard. One sleeper in the hunt for Womack is Pittsburgh, which lost starting right tackle Oliver Ross to Arizona in free agency. Falcons defensive coordinator Ed Donatell, who coached Darren Sharper in Green Bay, would probably like to have the safety in his Atlanta secondary. But Sharper, released by the Packers on Thursday, is probably asking for more money than Atlanta can afford. The Falcons are quietly in the chase for Baltimore inside linebacker Ed Hartwell, but his price probably is too steep, too.
• The last word: "I've been super consistent, and then they ask me to block, too. I mean, I've got to help protect the god of the NFL. You trust me to do that? You put all this money in your quarterback, and run six-man protections, and you trust me to protect your quarterback? I must be all right. You put me on a defensive end and you've got Peyton Manning sitting right here? C'mon. Let's be for real. You gave him $34 million. You're going to put [someone] back there who don't deserve no money to protect him?" Edgerrin James, explaining his contract demands.

We find ourselves in an economic crisis that is every day growing both more acute and more generalized. Economic crisis is all at once vast and intimate, social and technical, political and personal.
If how we grow and how we eat are emblematic of who we are, as the well-known adage suggests, then we should bear witness to Vandana Shiva's insight that "The hijacking of our food systems is the hijacking of our democracy."
Capitalism is the culprit behind the global warming trend because it is based on endless production of goods and services running on or made up of fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases when used.

Hey Jonathan,
I am left handed as well, and I always play with the left end of the zendrum "up", at my left shoulder. I think that's generally the position everyone uses though, isn't it? I sometimes use the ZX up at a higher or lower angle depending on the song and what I am trying to accomplish. Lately I've been using it sitting down, on keyboard "x" holder, and using foot pedals for kick and hi hat which allows me more freedom to use my hands for everything else. Its different than what I have been doing for 6-7 years, but I think I like it... so far! Good luck! Rand |

How are you powering your Zendrum while using the CME x8? I think MIDI JET will provide a power option if you ask them - they did for my review sample.

After using the CME X8 for a while I am very satisfied! It is a nice alternative to the embedded wireless as I am not in the US and able to get my Zendrum in the shop.

This could be the beginning of your journey to the dark side
I still recall the day a few years back that I finally got sick of the Roland sounds. At first it was the snares, then it was the crashes and finally it was the toms. There are still some percussion sounds of Roland that I like (and use samples of), but once I went through the initial pain of switching to BFD I never looked back. Seeing as how you're still using the Z3 though, I presume investing more money in your rig is not an option and you'll want to make do with your TD-9 for a while longer. One trick I used to do with my TD-20 was to assign different articulations to each hand. I have a closed and an open HH trigger on each side of my Zendrum. My right hand would use the tight closed bow sound (42 on the TD-9) and the open edge (26) while my left would use the closed edge (22) and open bow (46). This gave me more variation and expressive abilities. I still do essentially the same thing in BFD, however I use the velocity layer capabilities of the Z4 and ZenEdit to change articulations based on how hard or soft I'm striking. Anyway, I hope that might give you some ideas for squeezing extra dynamics and expressiveness from your rig. |

Greetings Tribe! Wanted to solicit some opinions.
I'm running a TD-9 module as my main sound source, and I've noticed my hi-hats aren't quite doing it for me these days. They feel a little too loud in the mix, too compressed (not getting as much dynamics as I'd like, all one level) and while the final product I'm hearing on tapes and such isn't BAD, I want it to be better. I'm running the last gen operating system in my instrument, so setting individual trigger curves is not an option for me. The other thing that occurs to me is perhaps to take down the hi-hats in my module's mixer but perhaps pitch them a little higher so they still cut through if I want them to? Input is welcome; thank you kindly. -Jaay |

Hi Jaay. There's a very active Zendrum group on Facebook, where a lot of these developments have been flagged. You'll also find the artwork there for the Tshirt. And we covered the new model in digitalDrummer in the John Emrich profile (remember, the magazine for which you wrote a couple of articles??) and again this month in E Doctor Smith article.

Hi, I'm left handed, and was wondering about holding a ZX the "wrong way" - ie with left hand on top, and right hand underneath, a bit like a left handed guitar.
How does the ZX "sit" if held like that? I mean in terms of balance, on the strap etc. Does anyone use it like that, or does anyone have a photo of it being held like that, which might help me to envisage if it would work for me? Thanks |

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge says he will listen to the 911 recordings from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting before ruling on whether they can be publicly released.
New Britain Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott says he plans to listen to the tapes Monday and issue his decision soon. He says it will not be announced the same day.
Prescott ruled that the recordings should continue to remain sealed while he reviews them.
The state's Freedom of Information Commission ruled in September that the recordings should be provided to The Associated Press, but a prosecutor asked for a stay while he appeals that order.
The AP has sought the recordings in part to examine the police response to the massacre, which left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.

Patissrie Parisian Menu Board Review Comments:
This was a Christmas gift for my Mom who is a "home chef" who has everything for her kitchen and is impossible to shop for. She was delighted to have such a unique gift to feature our upcoming meals. It was one of those items that as soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect! Buy chalk to go with it!
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Chef E
South Texas
Patissrie Parisian Menu Board Review Comments:
I have been on a quest for an attractive menu board. Most of the ones available are of the resin "Fat Chef" variety. This one is attractive and understated--more stylish than a plain chalk board. And it just so happens to fit perfectly on my pantry door. Be sure to give the entire board a good coating of chalk before the first use, then wipe it off with a paper towel. This helps subsequent chalk to adhere to the board when writing.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
5.0 Great menu board at a great price!

I needed a menu board for a wedding reception hors d'oeuvre and cheese table. This was perfect as the bride and her family are French and the wedding theme reflected the French influence.

SriKalaHasti is a holy town and a municipality near Tirupati in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is located on the banks of the river Swarnamukhi. It is also informally and wrongly referred to as Kalahasti. Recently,it has been included in the TUDA (Tirupati Urban Development Authority) region. This is the only Hindu temple opened in the times of Solar Eclipses and Lunar Eclipses in the whole world. It is one of the important ancient Shiva Kshetras (Shiva Temples) of Southern India. The Srikalahasti Temple occupies the area between the river bank and the foot of the hills and is popularly known as Dakshina Kailasam. The three lofty Gopurams of the temple are remarkable for their architecture. This temple was originally built during Pallava period and current structures are built by Chola Tamil King Kulothunga Cholan I, II and III during 11th century. A huge hundred pillared mantapam was built by Krishnadevarayar during 16th century, which is another important feature of this shrine. It is one of the ancient temples included in the Saiva pilgrimages and is fairly close to the famous hill temple of Lord Venkateshwara at Tirupati, one of the richest and famous temple cities in the world. It is also the origin of the popular textile painting art called kalamkari. The 'Rajagopuram' or main gate of the 500-year-old Srikalahasti Temple in Andhra Pradesh's Chittoor District collapsed on 26 May 2010. Srikalahasti is popularly known as "Dakshina Kaashi".

Hudson & Fournier: Catholic Countdown to Election 2012, Day 25. Substance and Smirks Comments
There are Catholics like Joe Biden who claim to follow what is too often called the "spirit" of Vatican II while rejecting the very foundations that important Council proclaimed. Then, there are others, like Paul Ryan, who grasp the implications of what it means to infuse the values informed by their Catholic faith into their political participation on fundamental moral issues such as the Right to life Continue Reading

Vice President Joe Biden admits that abortion is morally wrong/evil but supports the right of Americans to committ this evil act? The Vice President is guily of the Sin of Omission and needs to be called out for his treason against the faith...
Also Congressman Ryan is wrong about allowing abortion/murder of the innocent for rape, incest, etc. Abortion/murder can never and should never be justified by any means and he needs to be corrected on this point. -

Does the church provide for the exceptions for abortion that Ryan articulated last night? If that is going to be the policy of a Romney/Ryan ticket, then the abortion industry has already won.
Mother Angelca from EWTN had a great interview (archives) with the founder for the Walk For Life. It's a great interview and explains the problems with these exception policies. I believe the Ryan is more pro-life than Joe Biden, personally. But I don't think either are willing to put their political fortunes on the line to be truly pro-life. None of them are. -

According to the bishop of Wilmington, Delaware, VP Joe Biden is a Catholic in good standing. At least as a senator, Biden received Holy Communion each week in his home district. I'm sure he's gets back to Delaware regularly as VP and receives the Blessed Sacrament as well. What is a Catholic voter to think? To receive the Body and Blood of our Lord is to be in Communion with Him and all that He stands for. Perhaps our good bishops should help the great majority of the flock by excommunicating this lost sheep. The time to do this is now...just before the election. Will it backfire? Well, let's not think naturally for once, but rather supernaturally.

Barbara, Priests were not to hold public office and were not to campaign for particular candidates. But they ARE suppose to help us form our conscience and Laity are suppose to engage in politics and help our nations to understand moral issues on a political scale.
We are actually not a democracy so much as a republic. Theocracy would be 'led by God' though these days the term has deteriorated to 'led by religious leaders.' But we all should strive for a true private theocracy and vote accordingly.
There is no doubt as to the differences in the two candidates and who the country would fare better under both morally and economically.
A few notes on social issues:
We as Christians are called to remember that the care for the poor and disavantaged is a personal responsibility. Government means are important and helpful but we always must fill in the gaps by our individual works. Otherwise, we will lack the 'giving of love' in our lives.
Personally the people who most distress me are the ones who try to 'solve' the 'problem of the poor' by striving to kill off their children (contraception/abortion.)
But that last is personal. I grew up as government-defined working poor (never on welfare but we did get free lunches in school) and the tenth of eleven children. We were country and raised almost all our own food and were never hungry even without the free lunches. All 11 have college degrees and none live in poverty now. But if they did, I would still support their right to reproduce and we would take care of our own. From experience, I strongly believe in hand-ups but hand-outs only when absolutely necessary.

Catholic's like Joe Biden are hypercritical when they say they are pro-life but don't want to impose there beliefs on others. Everyone knows they have no moral compass. If you don't want to impose your beliefs on others, why are you in Politics. Imposing your beliefs on others is why you are a politician.

If the Moderator was "open" to Catholic answers why did then she "close" a Catholic question raised by Ryan ?. to the Quiz question "Is that Hypocrisy or Left leaning? The answer being "One in each other".

Joe Biden will fight for Obama but will not defend the unborn, what a disgrace.

One of the first acts of Pope John Paul II was to have his clergy get out of politics if they were holding local offices. If I remember correctly many American priests were sitting on city councils and the like. He didn't believe his priests should be influencing politics. I am dismayed to listen to our deacon in his homily discuss political matters and then read here you think the Romney/Ryan ticket will lead this country better only because Paul Ryan is a "better Catholic" than Vice President Biden. We live in a democracy and not a theocracy, as the founding fathers intended. The Church is not in the business of politics but in the business of saving souls. That is not done by legislation but by reaching out to those who are on the fringes of society and welcoming them, as Christ did.

Huddersfield v Bournemouth
Hammill 14′ Vaughan 37′, 42′, 58′ (pen) Clayton 78′
Pugh 68′
In-form James Vaughan fired a 21-minute hat-trick as Huddersfield hammered newly promoted Bournemouth.
Adam Hammill opened the scoring, beating several defenders for a fine solo goal, before crossing for Vaughan to head home, and Martin Paterson set up Vaughan to make it 3-0 by the break.
Vaughan smashed home his third from the penalty spot after defender Simon Francis brought down Jake Carroll.
Marc Pugh hit a consolation before Adam Clayton's 25-yard rocket made it 5-1.
Hammill and Clayton became the first Terriers players other than Vaughan to find the net this season, with Vaughan taking his total to seven in his last four league and cup games following his summer move from Norwich.
Dominating the scoring
James Vaughan has scored seven of Huddersfield's nine league and cup goals this season, while Lewis Grabban has netted four of Bournemouth's six
Meanwhile, the Cherries were left to reflect on a second successive thumping on the road, after going down 6-1 at Watford a fortnight ago.
Huddersfield's first home win - and boss Mark Robins's 100th league success as a manager - never looked in doubt after Hammill, another summer signing, drilled his shot in off the post.
Visiting keeper Ryan Allsop had to be at his best to tip over a Vaughan volley on the half-hour, while the ex-Everton man missed a good chance for his hat-trick just after the interval, when he pounced on Oliver Norwood's long ball but fired wide.
While they were torn apart in defence, Bournemouth's attractive brand of football did cause Huddersfield problems down the flanks, but they failed to take their chances as the unmarked Harry Arter headed over early on, while lively winger Ryan Fraser set up Brett Pitman, whose overhead kick was blocked by home skipper Peter Clarke.
Top scorer Lewis Grabban was denied by Terriers keeper Alex Smithies, and although Pugh found the net from close range after Francis crossed from the right, the Cherries' afternoon was summed up when half-time substitute Eunan O'Kane lasted only 15 minutes before being forced off with an injury.
Huddersfield manager Mark Robins:
"I know it is easy to say it but Bournemouth play good football and caused us problems.
"As a striker I can empathise with how he [James Vaughan] is feeling.
"He is loving it right now and deserves all the success. He is working very hard and concentrating on his game and he is getting his due rewards."
Bournemouth boss boss Eddie Howe:
"We like to play good football and there will be no change whether we win, lose or draw.
"This style suits the players we have and this is the only way we want to play. We just have to be better at what we do.
"We showed last season we could get results and keep clean sheets away from home and that's what we must do. We were just unlucky to come up against a striker as lethal as James Vaughan is at the moment."
