Israel's Airstrike Gamble
Fri, 2012-11-16 12:44
"It's not entirely clear what Israel attempted to achieve with this latest offensive beyond destroying militant groups' longer-range rocket capabilities."
i suspect that's exactly the point at the moment. it takes a guy like b*sh, dumb as a log, to create a leadership vacuum in the region by taking out saddam hussein. israel is hardly stupid. stability, even with a hate-filled enemy, trumps chaos. (that's why israel lobbied against taking out hussein and why they are so quiet about syria.)
what you fail to mention is the timing of the escalation of rocket launches by hamas over the past two weeks. for the better part of the year, hamas has allowed locals to lob (or attempt to lob) a few qassams and mortars over the transom on a weekly basis, often engendering pinpoint anticipation from the iaf.
how do you explain the dramatic increase in bombings? surely it is not the taking out of jabari, since in the days just prior to his death, the escalation had become untenable.
finally, how do explain the timing of the hamas offensive? is there something in the water? is there something going on with iran? can we expect hizbullah to join in if there's a ground invasion?
final thought: i believe that the purpose of the blockade was to ensure that the weaponry available to hamas remained crude and inaccurate. without a blockade, it is clear to me that hamas would have available the type of missiles hizbullah likely has at its disposal. until a gazan actor comes along who wants to play at peace, it seems to me to be the best of very limited options available to israel.

Israel is merely retaliating. If Hamas, et al would leave them alone Bibi would have no excuse to go sabre rattling. It is difficult to support Israel with all the PR spouting that they are killing kids, but when the Hamas, Hezbollah and other Jihadis fire from hospitals, schools, mosque parking lots and apartment balconies or roofs, that's what happens. It's time to tell all the truth, not just the truth according to which ever side will sell more space or air-time.

The only player who can put a stop to the missiles fired from Gaza is Morsi and he will not put a stop to it until the US govertment lets him know that it demands a stop to it . At 2 billion a year the US govt has a lot of leverage so why are they still firing missiles?

Your question at the beginning has a simple answer: while the attacks do not achieve anything durable for Israel they strengthen Netanyahu's case for reelection: he is the man who guarantees action against the evil Palestininan extremists. Just like Hamas on the other hand is the only party that will carry on the fight against Israel (or at least the Israeli right wing) which solidifies their power. Thus Netanyahu is good for Hamas and Hamas is good for Netanyahu, even though Netanyahu is bad for Israel and Hamas is bad for the Palestinians. This whole thing is an alliance of cynicism.

what part of the hamas charter doesn't the author get?
let's start with this.
"Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement."
get it? they don't want an agreement; they want total victory. all else is nonsensical delusion.

or, perhaps the author has a good way to deal with a different provision of the hamas charter:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
get it? they want all the jews dead. per my prior post, they don't believe in initiatives or peaceful solutions or international conferences. now, if as a matter of logic, we combine the two hamas charter provisions, guess what? there is an amazing revelation: they do not want peace, but rather a war in which they kill all the jews.
therefore, i posit the best solution towards peace at this time is that bibi takes the entire 75000 reserve force, takes over gaza completely, destroys every last weapon, and exits.
the price will be high, but israel's enemy is nigh and it is not interested in peace by its own fundamental principles.
that doesn't mean peace wouldn't be great, but with hamas, peace is not an option.

Some years ago, when Arabs kamakazies were blowing themselves up in Israel in places where children congregate, about 75% of Palestinian Arabs applauded. Then Israel began dropping bombs on murderers in Gaza. The approval rate plummeted to something like 35% (I forget the exact figures). Killing Arab Moslems is effective. Strength impresses them. Being kind to them is interpreted as weakness.

|Associate Athletic Director - External Operations
|(352) 588-8223
John Semeraro joined the Saint Leo University Department of Athletics in July of 2010 as he brings his extensive knowledge of the NCAA, the Division II level, corporate marketing and fundraising strategies to Saint Leo, where he called home in the pursuit of his undergraduate degree. It was during his recent stint in Augusta, Ga. as Assistant Commissioner of External Operations at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) that Semeraro developed his successful strategy in marketing and familiarizing communities with the 13-institution organization. During his work in the conference office, Semeraro assisted in tripling the conference's corporate and championship sponsorship revenue, generated in-kind trade agreements to cut cost, oversaw championships, and created new marketing initiatives to capitalize to create a "fresh" brand. In additional Semeraro organized and implemented strategies to enhance the conference's role in community engagement, game environment and social media.
Since arriving at Saint Leo, Semeraro has focused on many areas involving local community engagement, game environment, fundraising, corporate partnerships, athletic branding, special events and regional marketing. He has overseen the implementation of the new student, faculty and staff called "ROARwards" program, a game day attendance initiative that has over 700 members in less than a year. Other marketing and sponsorship programs that have been developed include offering a $20 All Season Sports pass, reinventing of the Lions Kids Club, and development of a local favorites small business sponsorship program. Under his leadership Saint Leo Athletics has also enhanced its brand through facility upgrades, refreshing athletic logos, developed of a new Athletic Style Guide and launched a new website by partnering with Presto Sports.
On the special event front, Semeraro coordinated a team that planned special events featuring Annika Sorenstam as our Girls & Women in Sports Honoree and Tom McEwen a Tampa Bay Treasure. The annual Spirit of Saint Leo Golf Tournament also saw a double, profiting over $40,000 in 2011. Semeraro has also elevated Saint Leo Athletic fundraising efforts with the transition of the Green & Gold Club to the Lions Athletic Fund. He spearheaded project to form Dr. Arthur F. Kirk, Jr. Endowed Scholarship that has secured over $75,000 in new pledges and donations in less than a year. Administratively he oversees Men's & Women's Golf and Men's and Women's Swimming programs.
Across the national level Semeraro is actively involved in serving on the NCAA Committee of Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct and the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Advisory Committee for Men's Golf. He is the Sunshine State Conference Representative for the National Association of Athletic Development Professionals (NAADD) and is actively involved with the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA). In the community, Semeraro is a Dade City Rotarian and involved with the Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce. Semeraro is a participant in Leadership Saint Leo and also serves as an adjunct professor for Saint Leo University's Business Program, teaching Sport Finance.
After earning his M.B.A. and Master's in Sports Administration from Ohio University, where he was also the class president, Semeraro landed a position with the NCAA Eligibility Center in Indianapolis, Ind. where helped with the transition from the Clearinghouse to NCAA Eligibility Center. His involvement with the NCAA during that crucial time helped open the doors into the conference setting, and eventually back to Saint Leo.
A native of Paducah, KY, Semeraro graduated from Saint Leo University with a degree in accounting. As a student-athlete he was a three-time Male Athlete and Scholar-Athlete of the Year in both soccer and golf, earned an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Award and served as national chair for the NCAA Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Married to the former Nicole DeBlois, the Semeraro family resides in Dade City, Fla. with their son Jack and dog, Palin.

Hunter Education and Safety
Get Hunter-Education Certified ...
Hunter education is required in Missouri, and it qualifies you to buy a firearms hunting permit. Use this section to find hunter-education opportunities near you and online.
Then Get Hunting Permits ...
Once you have your hunter-education certificate, you can buy a permit to hunt for deer, turkey, waterfowl, furbearers or small game. You can purchase your permits online, over the phone, at any Department of Conservation office, or from more than 1,000 vendors around the state.
Hunters with physical disabilities may apply for a hunting-method exemption.
And abide by the Wildlife Code of Missouri
Before going into the field, you will need to be familiar with the Missouri Wildlife Code, which outlines all the regulations for hunting, trapping, and fishing in Missouri. These regulations change every year, and MDC publishes summaries of the regulations for deer and turkey, waterfowl, and migratory birds (see titles under Related Information below) before each season opens. A summary of all the changes is also published in the Missouri Conservationist magazine every February.

In the late 1970s, people started to modify their trucks. They also began to compete with one another to see who could build the biggest truck. Modified pickup trucks soon became popular and so did the sports that were associated with it, including truck pulling and mud bogging. It is widely believed that the first monster truck show occurred in 1981, when Bob Chandler added 48-inch tires to his truck named "Bigfoot" and drove it over dilapidated cars. Nowadays, any truck with over-sized tires is generally referred to as a monster truck.
Grave Digger was the first monster truck to gain any recognition following Bigfoot. This green and black truck became the poster truck for Monster Jam, a live motorsport event that is held year round. Dennis Anderson helped to increase the sales of Monster Jam tickets with the creation of Grave Digger. He also pioneered what's known as the "freestyle" version of monster truck competition.
If you are a fan of monster trucks, why not modify your own life with some cool Monster Jam gear? From kids lunch boxes to clothing which you can personalize to the trucks themselves, we have it all.

Trivia question: What's the most popular model-year Corvette?
If you said '63 or '67, you obviously didn't glance at the yearly production totals for Vettes since 1953. Frankly, we were surprised too, when we looked up the answer.
The correct year is actually 1979, when Chevrolet produced 53,807 Corvettes, the largest annual production run in the history of the marque. Believe it or not, that's more Vettes than were sold in '63 and '67 combined.
The obvious question, then, is this: What could have prompted the car-buying public to make the then-12-year-old C3 the best-selling Corvette of all time?
Perhaps we can find our answer in Hollywood. On June 3, 1978, just prior to the Corvette's '79 model-year introduction, the car's icon status was committed to celluloid in Corvette Summer. The movie featured Star Wars hero Mark Hamill, but its real star was a custom C3 Stingray modified by Hollywood car builder George Barris.
Whether Corvette Summer helped propel Vette sales for the upcoming '79 model year is still a point of contention among enthusiasts. Nonetheless, the film left a lasting impression on many children and adults of the '70s, many of whom fell in love with the car for the very first time, thanks to the movie.
Brad McDonald admits to being one of those children of the '70s who was enthralled with the film. According to him, his current fascination with Corvettes is directly tied to the movie, and that led him to build one of the most sensational supercharged, nitrous-blown C3s on the planet.
"One of my later memories as a child was seeing Corvette Summer and witnessing Mark Hamill's love and devotion for his Corvette," the 43-year-old Australian says. "Although it may seem a bit corny these days, back then it was OK, especially to a young, impressionable child.
"I was looking for a for a Pro Street project, something that was not common and would stand out in the crowd," McDonald continues. "These days, there are a few Vettes getting around in Australia, but they're mainly stock weekend drivers. Others are built by owners who just like being seen. Others may have grunt, but just don't stand out."
One look at McDonald's 177-blown '79 Vette, and there's no doubt he likes being seen-and enjoys having the power to back up his attitude. Here's how he put his track-terror Corvette together.
McDonald sourced his Corvette from the U.S. in 2008. It started life as a customer-ordered Corvette Red car with an Oyster leather interior and the optional L82 engine. The St. Louis-built Vette came fully optioned with an automatic trans, power windows and door locks, removable glass roof panels, a rear-window defogger, air conditioning, sport mirrors, heavy-duty shocks, cruise control, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, AM-FM stereo with cassette, power antenna, and dual rear speakers.
Soon after the car arrived in Australia, McDonald was treated to some good news from his country's legislature. Whereas Corvettes had previously required an expensive and time-consuming conversion to right-hand drive, fresh revisions to Australian import regulations did away with this mandate. This was especially serendipitous in McDonald's case, since it meant he could devote his entire project budget to enhancing his car's looks and performance.
Knowing that the stock L82 wouldn't live long under the supercharged punishment he intended to subject it to, McDonald turned to Denis Mealing, an engine builder in Gulgong who specializes in high-performance Bowties. Mealing replaced the stock long-block with a four-bolt-main 350, bored it 0.030 over to achieve 357 cubes, and stuffed it with a Callies forged crank, Eagle forged rods, and TRW forged pistons. He lavished equal attention on the heads-a set of Edelbrock Performer aluminum units fitted with 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, Crane springs, Comp Cams 1.5-ratio Pro Magnum rockers, and chrome-moly 7/16-inch pushrods. He set the compression ratio at 8.5:1, indicating that lots of boost-15 psi to be precise-was part of his master plan.

What a breath of fresh air!
What a breath of fresh air! So inspiring! Thank you to both Rami Nashashibi and Krista Tippett for giving us this uplifting example of what's possible.
In listening to this, I was
In listening to this, I was struck by Mr. Nashashibi's comment in response to a question concerning a speaker who denied Mohammed's existence. While such a denial may make me cringe (and I write as a conservative Christian), I would want to ask him how he deals with what I will refer to (in very broad strokes) as certain members of the NYT reader-set who assert that anything that has religion as a starting point is stuff and nonsense. This particularly benighted group of people, I think, would constitute a far more challenging and, yes, sad encounter, but also possibly very fruitful. I am grateful that I took the time to listen to this.
Another remarkable show.

Rami explains his thoughts
Rami explains his thoughts that too much time is spent by American Muslims explaining the differences between those involved in 9/11, and that efforts should be devoted to seizing upon the common interests of those marginalized in society by joining other faiths in advancing justice. With this I agree, but where should the the fear of Islam within the U.S. be addressed? In the Q&A, Rami suggests that the "lunacy and irrationality" of the conservative Christian needs to be confronted, and that the engagement of a skeptical woman at a previous event proved useful. Many Americans are confused by the media reports of the hatred and violence against Westerners and the U.S. by fundamentalist, or extremest, the harshness of Shari law, the treatment of women, and the sectarian violence within Islam itself. I believe very much that there is commonality between the the faiths, and that Rami's cause for justice for the marginalized recognizes these shared values in a most compelling way. But how do we engage the fear of Jihad and the violence of extremism throughout the Greater Middle East an d Northern Africa. Within the Muslim faith, how is the value of Rami's justice distinguished between justice advanced by Jihad? We read these reports in the media each day. As the program recognizes, it is a real fear. But how do we engage the fear, and what is the proper forum?
This program started me on a
This program started me on a bit of research. I am somewhat puzzled by African American participation in Islam given Arab Muslim participation in the slave trade, past and present. Anyone interested can find plenty on the subject on the Internet. Clearly neither Portuguese nor Dutch nor Barbary Coast Muslims nor Africans themselves nor America can claim innocence. Right now the practice continues in northern Sudan and Saudi Arabia and is accepted by some of the Muslim radicals who have gained power in the wake of the Arab "spring".
Another comment by Mr. Nashashibi, that hearing Hebrew spoken was frightening to him, makes me wonder what he would feel if he was a Jew living in Israel hearing the Iranians brag that their new centrifuges will make the nuclear annihilation of Israel happen sooner than when they were constrained by their older, slower, centrifuges. Happy talk is nice but isn't it time to face reality?
By the way, I forgot the most
By the way, I forgot the most important point of my earlier comment-fantastic program! Keep up the great work Rami.
I am deeply concerned that
I am deeply concerned that this espousal of an ever loving, every beautiful Islam should be promulgated without challenge. The contradictions, beginning with Islamic conversion by sword of millions up to today's Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood---- also calling themselves action organizations--- promote food distribution and charity for the poor but at the very same time, make blood threats against perceived enemies and promote the lowest and most vicious kind of human hatred through gruesome smears and libels.
Krista, aren't these internal contradictions worth at least a bit of a question?
This was an incredible
This was an incredible interview. I want to know who recorded the hip hop song used in small clips throughout the broadcast. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks very much.

I just heard Krista Tippett say that Islam is now the 2nd largest religious group in America. I was surprised by this and looked it up online, and this is not true according to my googling...it is the 2nd largest religion in the world...i believe this was a mistake, and an important detail, given the points that are being made. according to some of the sites i looked at Islam is smaller than the numbers of Buddhists, Jews and Mormons...

Wham bam thank you, ma'am, my qusetions are answered!
Rami Nashashibi was a Muslim
Rami Nashashibi was a Muslim that was born in Jordan. He came to the south side of Chicago with his family. He has his doctorate in Sociology. He started a non-profit while he was in school that brings Arab kids together. I found it really interesting that he brought Arab kids and African American Muslim kids together in south side of Chicago. I liked how he talked about how these different neighborhoods in Chicago are all divided into different groups. It's just amazing how he was able to bring everyone together. He was talking how some of these schools have over a fifty percent drop out rate and how kids born there are three more times likely to be arrested. What a great program to pull a community together and show these kids that there is hope and future out there for them. I was kind of surprised that thirty percent of Muslims in America are African American.
I liked the part where he talked about his reaction to the 9/11 tragedy. I thought it was interesting how he said that he and his fellow Muslims reacted first in shock. Just like the rest of America. I think after the incident that people get angry and some people start to think that if your Muslim then you must have endorsed it. I also think that they did not need to come out as a community and say they did not agree with violence or what had happened. People have been hiding behind religion forever to justify their horrific acts. I don't know about you but up to 9/11 I don't think I was taught much about the Muslim community. It was not until after 9/11 and when we were at war with terrorism that the media really started to cover the Muslim faith and what it was about
I thought this was an
I thought this was an interesting interview. Rami was born in Jordan and settled in the southwest side of Chicago. He saw that there were many unfortunate families that migrated and were living there. Rami brought together about 900 people and raised about $20,000, which helped start nine programs. And now today that same tradition goes on and now they have about 20,000 people show up and have celebrities and politicians that come. This has all helped the muslim community come together.
I found it interesting when Rami was talking about post 9/11, about how he felt. I know as an American I am guilty of fearing the American Muslims following the tragedy. But he said that he had the same feelings as Americans when the tragedy happened. Everyone was frantically calling their family members, Wondering if they had any family in the world trade centers.
Not only did he have the same emotions that most Americans had he also was thinking what does this mean for the American Muslims? Which is a great question. unfortunately, people tend to stereotype, and he had every reason to wonder what it would do to the American Muslim community. I am glad that he is out there talking about it and relaying that not all Muslims are going to commit an act so destructive. He also talks about how the anxieties are still there for everyone. And the Muslims are doing their part.

LITITZ, PA – A central Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disappeared after dropping off her children for school 11 years ago has surfaced in Florida and has told police she traveled there on a whim with homeless hitchhikers, slept under bridges and survived by scavenging food and panhandling, authorities said Wednesday.
Brenda Heist, 53, had been declared legally dead, Lititz Borough Police Det. John Schofield said. The detective said he met with her in Florida on Monday and she expressed shame and apologized for what she did to her family.
Heist was going through an amicable divorce in 2002 when she got some bad news about future housing plans, Schofield said. She was crying in a park when some strangers befriended her, then invited her to join them as they began a month-long hitchhiking journey to south Florida, he said.
Her ex-husband got the courts to declare her legally dead two years ago and he has remarried, Schofield said.
"She has a birth certificate and a death certificate so she's got a long ways to make this right again," Schofield said. "She's got to take it slow with her family, I'm sure, and it's going to be a long process."
Inside her home the day Heist disappeared, dinner was defrosting and the laundry was half done. Police located her car in a neighboring county but none of her personal belongings were taken.
When Schofield called to meet with her ex-husband Lee Heist and their daughter, they assumed he would be notifying them that her remains were found, the detective said.
Lee Heist struggled financially after his wife disappeared, losing his job and his house, the detective said. She had been a bookkeeper at a car dealership.
Heist turned herself in to police in Key Largo, Fla., on Friday, regarding some outstanding warrants, and then informed them she was a missing person. She had apparently been homeless for the past two years, most recently living in a tent community run by a social service agency.
"She said she was at the end of her rope, she was tired of running," said Schofield.

Board: Recreation expenses need more explainingBY CRISTINA KUMKA
STAFF WRITER | December 08,2012KILLINGTON The Select Board is seeking more justification for program costs in the towns recreation budget.
Lyndsay Gang, interim department director, presented the spending plan at the boards regular meeting this week.
The proposed budget is increasing by 6 percent, or $9,020 including capital expenses, to $156,320 for 2013.
While revenues are expected to increase next year because of increased fees for the town pool, the addition of a winter swim club and other events, selectmen requested an explanation for the biggest spending increase in the budget $7,710, or 43 percent more in programs and special events.
Some residents agreed.
I would like to see that the programs are somewhat self-supporting, said resident Jay Hickory.
Vito Rasenas suggested the board look at projected year-end spending figures rather than what was expected to be spent at the start of 2012 to get a better picture of the actual cost of operating and capital costs.
Under Rasenas method, the total budget increase would be about 10 percent, not 6 percent.
He said the way the budget is laid out now, the numbers look misrepresenting.
Selectman Jim Haff agreed.
Past boards ... went with the actual, he said.
The largest decreases in the budget are $3,000 less in 2013 for advertising, mailings and supplies, and $2,100 less for the Irene-ravaged Teen Center.

The newer ones from Waterstones as the guys there are good friends and they usually go for £10 when first released. They have the limited slipcase editions most of the time so I get them all in one go. My O.C.D approach to collecting means that I have to have each different version. Snuff and Unseen Academicals was Slipcase Ed, Gold Edition/Hardback with Collector cards and Normal Blue 1st/Hardback without collector's cards. Totalling £50/£60 respectively. On this one I cheated a little. I couldn't wait for the paperback release so I spent many an awkward night reading the one hardback through a 3" gap so not to break the spine!!! I dont drink or smoke so this is my little sin. I have to say I do love rummaging throught the local charity shop book racks. If I cant find a Pratchett i just spend my 50p on something else that looks good. Mo Hayder is my latest find. Very twisted but what writer. I've read Tokyo and Ritual in the last week. Pretty damn good

There's no such offence as breaking and entering in the uk. Burglary is breaking in with dishonest intent, eg theft, rape, assault or criminal damage. If you wandered into someone's house through an open door uninvited to admire the decor then left, I don't think you're actually guilty of anything. The difficulty would be proving your case before a magistrate or jury. if you broke a door or window in the process of getting in to admire the decor, that would be criminal damage.
Ah yes, you and Hum are right. Funny because I always think of burgling as stealing rather than breaking in.

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #23
The Secret 6 Audiobook
#1 The Red Shadow
by Robert J. Hogan
Read by Michael C. Gwynne. Liner Notes by Will Murray
Popular Publications publisher Harry Steeger and writer Robert J.
Hogan had scored a hit with
G-8 and His Battles Ace
s in 1933. A year later,
they put their heads together and concocted a crime series with a fantasy flare.
They called it
The Secret 6!
Steeger always credited the successful Park Avenue Hunt Club stories
running in the pages of
Detective Fiction Weekly
as his main inspiration. But the
types of stories he asked Robert J. Hogan to write smacked of the one and only
Doc Savage. In a sense,
The Secret 6
was a take off of Doc Savage and his men—but without the superhuman aspects of Doc. The title was lifted from a 1931 crime film. To insure that the first issue sold like hotcakes, they stole a little more of Street & Smith's thunder by
titling that debut novel
The Red Shadow.
The premise was simple. Framed for the crimes of the diabolical Red
Shadow, a mystery man with a haunted past calling himself King breaks out
of the Death House. Scouring the Underworld, he assembles a team of shadowy specialists who dedicate themselves to hunting down The Red Shadow. But The
Red Shadow conceals a secret even The Secret 6 doesn't suspect!
One major clue can be found in a list of the members of this new crime-busting organization: King, The Doctor, The Professor, The Key, The Bishop, Shakespeare
and Luga. Yes.
men have banded together to become the fearless fugitives operating outside the law known as—The Secret 6! One will not survive…
Only four issues of
The Secret 6
were ever published. But what a glorious
The Red Shadow
was followed by
House of Walking Corpses, The Monster
The Golden Alligator
. Each succeeding novel was more fantastic than
the one before. Collectively, they read like a dry run for Carleton E. Morse's
classic radio series,
I Love a Mystery
The Red Shadow
is narrated with the headlong velocity of a locomotive
by Michael C. Gwynne. Three action stories round out this first Secret 6 audiobook, all of them
penned by Robert J. Hogan hiding under a blizzard of pseudonyms

An Inside Look at The Knot Dream Wedding Venue
The planning for The Knot Dream Wedding has begun! I'm beyond excited to plan (with The Knot editors and, of course, you Knotties!) this wedding celebration on Valentine's Day 2013 at Citi Pond at Bryant Park — Manhattan's very own ice playground.
Why Citi Pond? Well, the fact that more proposals have happened right here than pretty much any other place on the planet makes it a very romantic setting. Plus, it's New York City's crown-jewel skating venue — where millions of winter enthusiasts, including Olympians, world champions and celebrities, travel each year for a chance to dance on the ice. It's an inspiring location for this once-in-a-lifetime wedding, and it is quintessentially New York!
After the ceremony on ice (no worries — the bride, groom and guests won't need to wear skates!), everyone will head over to the stunning two-story glass-enclosed restaurant, Celsius at Bryant Park, for a cozy cocktail hour on the outdoor terrace, complete with glacier-inspired drinks and toasty hors d'oeuvres, luxury banquettes, rink-side table service and heaters to keep guests warm as they chill on the deck.
Then everyone will head upstairs to dine and dance at the stunning Atrium at Celsius. Under the chandelier-adorned glass ceiling, the in-house mixologist will serve up warm and cold winter-themed cocktails like Chilled Polar Bear Cosmos and Snojitos from the 24-foot bar! Guests will enjoy a comfort-food-gone-luxe reception featuring eclectic American dishes. Favorites include Celsius Mac and Cheese, Home-Style Chicken Pot Pie and Four Cheese Ravioli! And of course, the sparkling decor and magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline will take everyone's breath away.
We've got lots of surprises in store for the bride and groom, their guests and all of America as they tune in on February 14 to watch this wedding stream LIVE on TheKnot.com. A mystery celebrity guest? A dramatic performance on the ice? Hmmm…the surprises await! Share your vision with me by casting your vote on each and every wedding detail at TheKnot.com/dreamwedding! After all, you're the wedding planners too!

Adhesive Foil/Cover for LEGO Mindstorms NXT
You can read more about it here. I like the Orange the best.
OooK, I guess a little color might be nice, but I can't see myself sticking adhesive foil/covers on my NXT brick. And Reee-Bot the Roving Robot Reporter says..."my official black suit was fine, but this is a bit much!!!"
hmmm, adhesive foil.
It sounds like a good idea, but I think it will come loose, bubble, crink, rip,... after a week.
When you look at the photo, you can already see some bubbleing on the bottom-left.
If it was a plastic snap-on/snap-off piece I would be all for it. A way to easily differentiate between the NXTs for Bluetooth communications (Not NXT 1, NXT 2, NXT Black, etc.)
But if there's one thing I NEVER do, is put stickers on my Lego bricks, and most certainly not my NXT pieces.
I'll bet that the adhesive isn't strong... meaning you can easily pull it off without leaving residue.
But until someone who's used it can enlighten us, the issue remains a serious hindrance to purchase...
Anyone know?
It isn't really necessary to stick anything to the brick. Just make a paper pattern, (I've included one at the end of my newest book, Robots Alive! Endangered Species) then cut out a cover using paper, foil, cloth---or whatever you have.
The trick is to make sure that the cover overlaps adequately in the back. There are always enough pins and beams to hold it in place.
I like Fay's idea. That way, you can use whatever material you desire and if so inclined you could change for every build.
that actually is a pretty good idea. I think making some cloth sleeve like things are great if you made something that was cut perfectly and fit snug over it than it would have peices extending over the top bottom and sides that will be pinned to the 12 holes in the bottom by 12 pins and some beams :)
I've posted the pattern for download at thenxtzoo.com. It's a PDF file.
Hi! I have tested these foils, and can tell you that they are very resistant! And i mean: VERY resistant! The bubbleing in the picture cause i wasnt very experienced in placing these foils. But the second time i tried it, it worked without these bubbles.
And yes...it is a bit fiddly to remove the foil again, but even after a long time sticking to the NXT, it won't leave any remain on the NXT.
hi, i tested the foil. And what shall i say, it looks nice, is esay to handle, has no bubble effect (at least not for my testing time of 4 weeks) and it is removable with out any residues. Ok the price is a point of discussions, but hey now my NXT can look smart.

Design Toscano has many statues of many different religions, such as our Buddha outdoor statues. Many people like to create a meditation garden and these statues from many different religions add to the peace and spirituality of the space. On such outdoor statue is the Confucius Garden Statue. This statue is from the ancient Chinese religion of Confuscianism. This is a two foot, well detailed statue of Confucius with a finish that has the look of ivory and is also a Design Toscano exclusive.
Browsing our marble busts for sale section, you will discover many wonderful statues, busts and other sculpture for great prices. In keeping with the theme of the god or goddess statue, we have Themis, Blind Justice Bonded Marble Statue. This is another one of our great exclusive sculptures and is the Greek goddess of justice done in bonded marble and holding the scales of justice made of faux gold.
We love to have fun with our sculptures and to have statues that will make your yard just a bit different from your neighbor's. Certainly our big foot statue and large dinosaur statues are a fine example of a little quirkiness for the yard. If you would perhaps like a slightly smaller piece for a side garden with a little style, you might take a look at our Raptor Skeleton Garden Sculpture. He is 2 feet long and has the look of an ancient dinosaur skeleton just recently excavated.

This is what our travelers think about Be Hostels Mar!
A lovely stay
April 26th 2014 – Terry Donnington, Ireland
Had a lovely stay at this hostel – staff were very welcoming and helpful. Very clean, nice breakfast in the morning. My locker didn´t work in my room – that´s the only possible bad thing I could say!
I would recommend it!
April 27th 2014 – Peter Bright, England
I loved everything about this hostel. The location is fantastic because it's about 5 minutes away from everything in the city. I liked the terrace as well they had on top; a good place to have a few drinks at night with the other backpackers staying there…
Everything was absolutely perfect

What a challenge that would be... I bet some crazy local cachers will take you up on the challenge.
Looking at TravelingGeeks Bookmarked list, it looks like Prince Edward Island would be one of the next destinations for the power-trail hungry crowd! There are 962 caches on the C.T. (Confederation Trail) series, plus another 85 caches on a "spur" off of it. http://coord.info/ma...-62.853732&z=10
The bad new is....it's a hiking/biking trail only. Doubtful you could get 1000 caches in a day, sans automobile!
Well yes if you are into that sort of thing. However I am!

The jersey posy pin (uhg…bad pic) was a "wing it" project, thankfully it was quick and easy to put together. Maybe I'll get a tutorial put up in the future….no promises though. :)

Love the posy pin! I've always wanted to make some! Those zipper pouches are super cute...I'm scared of zippers, so I have never tried sewing one. I may just have to try one of these days :)

Zipper pouches are on my to-do list for Christmas.
I loved your last post, by the way. I read her blog and it made my heart hurt. I just wanted to rush down there and rescue all those babies and bring them home to my house.
It's frustrating, because we aren't eligible to adopt a child because we already have too many of our own, according to the rules I read. I do donate through my church because I know I can trust them and they are amazing with humanitarian aid.
Sorry for the mini-hijack. Just wanted to let you know.

They'll love their gifts. I always love getting trinkets. They're usually more personal.

Please post a tutorial for the pin! I have a pillow just waiting for a flower I am attempting to make up on my own. It would go much faster with a tutorial! :-)
