BREAKING NEWS: Anglican Bishop Sues Israel Over Church Attack
attack on St. Philip's Episcopal Church and the adjacent Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, its bishop said Monday January 27.
"We insist on a claim of responsibility and full restitution for damages to both St. Philip's Episcopal Church and Ahli Arab Hospital," said Bishop Riah Abu El-Assal in a statement seen by BosNewsLife.
The bishop stressed he was "in the process of filing a court case" over the Israeli missile attack on Friday, January 24, in which one patient is believed to have died of shock.
Soon after a hospital gateman, identified as Mounir, "sustained a bullet wound to his head during the night and remains hospitalized in a coma," El-Assal added. "Please keep him, and his family in your prayers," he asked Christians around the world.
The Bishop said that earlier appeals for prayers, released by BosNewsLife and other media, "are very much appreciated and truly make a difference in these difficult times." He urged Christians to also "write letters to elected officials and Israeli ambassadors denouncing "this barbaric attack on our Church and Hospital."
El-Assal said he holds "the government of Israel responsible for all damages. This is not only a violation of the IV Geneva Convention, but a Grave Breach as stipulated in Article 147, and therefore a war crime."
It was not immediately clear what the financial damages were, but witnesses told earlier that windows of the 19th century church in the hospital complex were shattered and that crystal from it's chandeliers littered the floor because of the missile.
Bishop El-Assal said his hospital staff "remains in shock" after also discovering "that many of their major pieces of equipment have been harmed in the attack, especially the x-ray equipment."
Over the weekend patients and staff members experienced a difficult night "as large number of Israeli tanks came within thirty metres (apr. 90 feet) of the entrance to the hospital (complex), "El-Assal explained.
He stressed the situation made it "impossible for either staff or those seeking health care to enter or leave the hospital, for over four hours."
In addition, "movement within the hospital compound was impossible due to the presence of Apache helicopters directly overhead, and fears that movement would be traced and answered with shooting."
Since Saturday, January 25, at least 12 Palestinians reportedly died wen dozens of Israeli tanks pounded their way deep into Gaza City with helicopters flying overhead, as part of one of Israel's largest operations since the Palestinian uprising began in 2000.
The Israeli military made clear the operation was needed to crack down against potential suicide bombers and Palestinian militants who "launch Qassam rockets on Israel."
Although troops later withdrew from Gaza City area's, Israeli forces stepped up already tight travel restrictions ahead of the upcoming elections Tuesday January 28, amid security concerns.
Israeli officials said Palestinians, would not be allowed to cross from the West Bank and Gaza into Israel proper. Bishop El-Assal suggested this would make it even more difficult to hold prayer services in the St. Philip's Episcopal Church.
"The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem has not succeeded in obtaining the necessary permit from the Israeli authorities that would allow a Palestinian priest to travel to Gaza from either Israel or the West Bank. Consequently worship services are sporadic and occur only when a foreign priest is visiting Gaza."
However Israel's Government defended its policies saying that it fears possible suicide bombings and acts of terrorism during the election period from.
One of the leaders of the militant Palestinian Hamas movement, Mahmoud al-Zahhar has already warned that "the answer to the enemy crime in Gaza will be different, and Sharon will know that the blood of the Palestinians is not cheap," Arabic News.com reported.
Earlier Palestinians reportedly dropped mortars at Israeli patrols in Jenin, Toulkarem and opened fire at military positions and a booby trapped explosive was blown near an Israeli armored vehicle at the crossroad of al-Khuder town.
Several vehicles were apparently damaged, including a bus for transporting the Israeli soldiers between Jerusalem and Ghoush Axion settlements, Arabic News.com said.
Despite growing tensions, opinion polls suggested growing public support for Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's perceived hard-line policies towards Palestinians.
Likud was projected to win at least 32 seats in the 120-member parliament, compared to about 18 for the opposition Labor Party and 15 for the centrist Shinui, according to Maariv newspaper.
Analysts have warned that while the election itself is not expected to produce surprises, Sharon could face difficulties in forming the kind of broad-based, national unity government he wants.

Tasty recipe, sprinkled eggplant slices with Italian Seasoning before roasting. Make sure to watch the eggplant carefully in the oven, my first attempt led to to some charred eggplant slices :-)
I have made this a few times. I agree..you need two eggplants. It is delicious. One time I used sautéed brocolli. Yummy!
This recipe should call for 2 large eggplants instead of 1. The flavor was good, but I ended up having to make pasta to make up for the missing layer and a half of eggplant. Not sure I would try...

(AP) / 9 April 2013
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday eulogized Margaret Thatcher as a remarkable and towering figure who will be missed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Blair spoke about his predecessor during a speech at Lafayette College in Easton. Thatcher died Monday at age 87.
Even though Blair disagreed with Thatcher politically, he said, she was a 'great leader' who pursued her aims with fearlessness and determination.
Blair recalled a time, early in his political career, when Thatcher got the better of him during an exchange in the British House of Commons, an episode he said that taught him 'one of my earliest lessons in politics.'
He had been given the privilege of asking the first question during the prime minister's weekly appearance in the chamber. At the time, Blair's Labour Party was going after the Conservative Thatcher on Britain's high unemployment rate, and Blair thought he had produced a 'gotcha' question for the prime minister.
The young backbencher had run across a 1944 paper produced by the Conservative government of Winston Churchill that talked about the importance of obtaining full employment, 'and I thought I would ask Margaret Thatcher about this. I was very pleased with my question, and I got up to a quiet House of Commons and I delivered it with what I thought was great aplomb,' Blair recalled.
He continued: 'I don't know how she managed to do this, but somehow she had guessed someone would ask her about this 1944 white paper.'
Thatcher looked at Blair, reached down to grab her handbag and pulled the paper out of the bag, Blair said.
'She then proceeded to read parts of it that refuted everything I had said,' he told his Pennsylvania audience, 'and I got sat down to complete humiliation. It stayed with me a long time, that.'
Blair spoke about Thatcher at the beginning of his speech at Lafayette, given as part of the school's 'Lives of Liberty' lecture series. He noted it was an appropriate designation for Thatcher.
'I don't think there's anyone who better expresses a sense of a life of promoting liberty than Margaret Thatcher,' he said.

Day 2:
We had to search around Chandigarh a little before we found a hotel that had vacancy but we finally found one, had some beer and food and a good nights sleep. We got up fairly early and hit the road heading north towards Kiratpur and into the foothills toward Manali.
We had rain on and off during the first day so the broken clouds were welcome this morning. The roads were very nice around Chandigarh. They would prove to be the nicest roads we would come across during the entire journey. We blasted through Rupnagar and missed our turn. It took us 20km or so before we realized it.
There was always some great place to stop for a bite to eat usually with quite friendly staff. Most places were making fresh chipati, roti, or naan breads. We ordered Dal Fry (lentils) with almost every meal. Hey Buuurrt, what else was regularly on the menu? We ate mostly vegetarian and were careful not to eat food from the street vendors right of the get go. Surprisingly, no one would get sick during the entire trip.
After missing our turn and going another 20km out of our way and backtracking again, we got onto the road leading into the first foothills of the Himalayas. This road was jammed with trucks going both directions. The trucks creep up the hills very slow so they're pretty easy to get by. You just have to have a little patience and DON'T pass on those blind corners even though the trucks are hardly moving because the downhill trucks are usually moving too fast and seem to come out of no where.
So we're at a stop behind a line of trucks after climbing 25km or so. The bikes are side by side and idling when mine "clacks" and starts making a rackety tapping. We all look at each other wondering "what the hell"? I attempt to get it to the side of the road and it coughs dead. One stroke of the kick starter told the story: no compression in the cylinder any more. We hemmed and hawed about what to do for a bit then I popped off the gas tank and started to take a look under the valve covers while Minxter started helping herself to a little left over McDowells whiskey from the night before.
I found one of the problems right away. The exhaust valve push rod was no longer pushing on the rocker arm, it was out of place.
Here my finger is pointing at the dislodged pushrod which is no longer pushing against the rocker arm. I thought, "cool, I'll just get it back into place and maybe we'll be in business, at least to get us to a shop". Good theory but when I got it back in place there was about 1/4" too much clearance. It was like the valve wasn't shutting all the way.
I also found other things I didn't really like in there. When I removed the rocker arm I found metal shavings that had been pumped up with the oil and were jammed in the ports. I also found some sort of cobbled shims that a previous mechanic had inserted between the rocker arm covers. I suspect they also had seen these metal shavings and were trying to compensate by shimming open the covers so the oil would continue to flow. That's just a guess, but I know for sure these shims were not stock. They were cut from a can or something.
Now it was getting a little later in the day and we had to do something. We passed a hotel on the way up so we coasted back down to it and got a room for the night. I continued to wrench on the bike while the others heckled me. We were drinking beer and a little whiskey and weren't the least concerned even though the bike was dead. We knew we'd fix it. I couldn't get the valve unstuck so we planned to coast back down to Kiratpur (20km back) and see if we could fix the bike at a shop in the morning. The hotel had excellent food and great folks that worked there. We were up out of the plains and had gained some elevation but it was still a bit warm but we slept pretty good under the ceiling fans. Oh yeah, Minxter and I slept good. Seems as if I remember Buuurrt and Maja's fan was clacking all night.
Looking at the day, we advanced about 82km but rode about 145km with the backtracking. We went from the Punjab region of India and just made it into the Himachal Pradesh region which sits in the Himalaya's. We had a dead bike but weren't concerned and we were thoroughly enjoying India and all the people we were running across!

Ate at those type of places pretty much everyday for 5 weeks, including drinking the water and eating the veg 9 the vendors always boiled their water before doing anything with it). Rule of thumb we stuck to was to stop at the places with the most trucks, and check the state of the kitchen before digging in.

day 3
The day started by packing the bikes up, having a quick bite at the Himachal Hills Hotel (800 rps no A.C. for the room that night)and off we went with one bike dead. We decided we would coast back down the hill towards Kiratpur and see if we could find a mechanic who could help us out with the stuck exhaust valve. Once the road leveled off we would bring out the tow strap and pull it the rest of the way into town.
This technique worked pretty well and it didn't take long to get back down to Kiratpur. This town is basically like a huge truck stop where TATA drivers prepare or repair their rigs for the steep climb into the mountains. The road is mostly dirt and the dust is extremely thick. That combined with the heat and humidity made it just miserable conditions for just looking for someone to wrench on the bike.
With Joe and Minxter in tow we pulled in front of each shop that looked like they had the tools and knowledge to help us out. The first couple of shops didn't really even want to look at the bike and shewed us off with one of them saying we needed a "Big Hospital" for the bike. The traffic was thick and I was getting worked up because of the heat and dust. Then I spotted a shop with a bunch of scooters out front being worked on. I figured we would check it out. Well, I guess the bags strapped to my bike was a little wider than I thought and I clipped this guys Lambretta scooter with the bag and sent it crashing down in the dirt. Every head swung our way as the guy who owned the bike picked it up and sifted through the dirt for all his carburetor parts. They were not impressed and definitely not going to help out with the bike. So off we went.
The next shop we stopped at was totally different. Everybody wanted to help at this shop. This was our first experience with the Indian people who don't know anything about bikes wanting to tear right into the motor and fix the problem. Usually adding to the problem significantly. At this point we were still being polite to anyone willing to lend a hand. That would not last long.
This guy would not believe the valve was stuck and just wanted to braze a spacer on the rocker arm. These guys are the kings of improv and the cobb job. It was so chaotic and they just would not listen to anything we said. Joe finally accepted what was going on. You know a little Chai tea will sooth the situation. Really works.
An older Sikh man offered to take me and find a mechanic. I would load up on his scooter and he would hook us up. What the hell?
He basically stopped at all the shops we had already spoken to and really didn't turn up much new information. Luckily he did not stop at the shop I pissed off by throwing all their parts in the dirt. Even though he didn't turn up much info I felt fortunate to have spent some time with this guy. He didn't really speak much English we communicated all right. A key cast member in what was shaping up to be the second of many difficult days maintaining this sweet piece of english engineering manufactured in India.
When I returned there was a younger man who showed up and explained there was a R.E. mechanic about 20km up the road in Anundpur across from the Sikh temple. He was actually one of the few Indian guys still riding R.E. and said this is the mechanic to go to with our problem. We put the bike back together and were quite surprised it fired up with no compression and a stuck valve.

Day 3.1
We arrive without incident into Anandpur Sahib which is a very special place to be. Known as "the holy City of Bliss," it is a holy city of the Sikhs and is one of their most important sacred places, closely linked with their religious traditions and history. The motorcycle shop is located directly across the street from the temple in the center of town and is owned by quiet little bearded Sikh man named Nattu.
We pulled into his shop which was little most shops in India, a concrete strip of shops all about 100 square foot space in a line of around 10 or so shops side by side.
Nattu had plenty of business the day we rolled into town, which I think is a indication of the reliability of the Enfield. If you are going to be a mechanic in India. It would be a wise financial decision to choose to specialise in the Enfield.
Once Nattu pulled the exhaust valve cover off he knew instantly what the problem was and told us to take a seat and a cup of Chai. He could fix it.
You can see here the Valve seat has slid out of the head and is not allowing the exhaust valve to close all the way. This is the reason for the lack of compression and the slop with the push rod and rocker arm.
Nattu made a couple of phone calls and told Joe he needed to take the head and a young man as a translater back down the road to Kiratpur to have the valve seat pulled out. The machinist would then turn a new valve seat from scratch and press it back into the head.
This work took about took all most of the day and ended up costing us just 300 Rps for the machine work on the valve seat and head.
While Joe was off having this work done. I hung out with the girls at Nattu's shop, sipped Chai and just watched with the amazing life of the people around us.
People were constantly walking by headed for the temple. Some of the women were so beuatifully dressed in their colorful Saris.
This guy looked like some sort of Shaman toting a couple of his younger fallowers.
Other people showed up to have tire fixed for their automobiles. All done by hand. Look at that. The Minxter with a cup of Chai
Joe returned with the head and Nattu reused the head gasket and had the bike back together in no time. After doing all this work we were truly thankful and just wanted to settle up with Nattu and be on our way. It took Nattu a couple a minutes to come up with a figure and when he did we were just blown away. He charged us just 300 Rps for work he did total. We felt it was such a good deal and Nattu treated us so well, we did something I don't like to do in foreign countries. I say this because many Indians view Americans and foreigners as rich people who can be taken advantage of and in many situations they do every chance they get. I fear when you pay these high prices or allow yourself to be taken advantage of you are just contributing to the problem. That being said, we demanded he accept a tip of a couple hundred Rupees for his honesty and true character he showed when working with us. He reluctantly accepted the rupees and helped Joe start his bike.
We took off retracing out route up the hill and made it to the Hill Top Hotel in Swargat in heavy rain. We advanced just 10 km today. Those 10 K felt great..
I want to plug Nattu's shop in Anandpur Sahid. If you are in this area and need a good mechanic or just a good cup of Chai this is the guy. He is fair and honest. He is a soft spoken, gentle man with a big heart. He made a huge impression on our group.

Here's a little more on Day 3. The first shop we came across, I showed they guys the problem with the valve. They had a look on their faces that was not good and one guy says in broken english "this bike needs big hospital"!
Indian taxi?
I don't know if Buurrt got across just how intense the situation at Kiratpur was. It was dirty as all get out with dust flying everywhere, trucks rolling in and out and people scurrying all over. We had a major language barrier there making it hard to discuss what was going on with the bike. Here is a very typical scene in India. Westerners will start to draw a crowd. Indians will slowly start to appear and watch. Many of them are friendly and will try to help EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING! But they are trying to give you assistance. It's great and I really like that they just want to help you. Others that aren't helping will just watch. And watch. And watch. Even if you're not broken down, maybe you're just pulled over to rest and have some water, Indians will start to appear and watch.
More dudes are coming out of the woodwork offering their opinions. We get Smart Motors on the phone with the main mechanic and Myheap at Smart Motors tells the guy to adjust the push rod and send us on our way. I know there's something way worse with the head then just a push rod out of adjustment.
In the meantime, we've adjusted the push rod as best we can and these guys are suggesting we try starting the bike. I'm thinking, "no way, there's something not good in the head". But we kick the thing and it fires up!! I can't believe it. It's definitely not running right but these guys say just go easy and it'll make it to the next shop. We got a tow rope so we're not concerned if it breaks down so we take off. It's mid day now.
Well, we make it to Natu's Enfield shop. Now we're where we want to be. This dude who we dub "The Guru" knows the Enfield like he was the engineer who designed it. He starts the diagnosis. He speaks no english but I can communicate just by showing him parts and demonstrating the problem. He's of the Sikh (Seek) religion. We found that we really liked all the Sikhs that we'd meet.
The Guru is swamped with customers! (tells you something about how much maintenance the Enfields need) He's doing a sort of "Enfield Mechanic Triage" which we would learn was a common task among Enfield mechanics. It consists of sorting out the customers bike issues and tending to them in a manner that keeps people flowing through, thus, maximizing the amount of bikes he can attend to.
He's constantly jumping from bike to bike, diagnosing and deciding what task is next. The Guru is cool as a cat, moves slow but deliberately and is very efficient. He's got a number of young apprentices that he keeps busy with easy tasks. If you've got more serious issues, he'll triage you out as he takes care of other easier repairs at the same time, jumping back and forth, putting his apprentices to work on the routine stuff. Things like chain adjustments and clutch issues get taken care of quick.
We decide the head has to come off our bike. Again, we put Myheap from Smart Motors on the phone and have The Guru inform him of what's the issue. Myheap agrees and we proceed. It looks scary but it's no big deal. It takes a few minutes and we get it off. Buuurrt showed photos of the valve seat that had popped out.
So the Guru sends me back to Kiratur and I'm at this little rat hole of a shop and the machinist starts CUTTING A VALVE SEAT FROM SCRATCH!! I'm totally impressed!! He's centering the piece with simple tools and measuring with basic calipers. He finishes it, pops it back in the head, laps the valve and sends me on my way for $300 rupees ($6)! I'm dumpfounded.
It's late in the afternoon now but I get back to the Guru's and we assemble the bike, he takes it for a ride and pronounces it ready. We tell him of our intended route and he give's us thumbs up. This guy had a heart of gold and was genuinely a very honest dude. I try to start the bike but it doesn't start the first few kicks. That's when he gives us a lesson on starting the Enfields. I've got big boots on and I'm kicking it like a 500cc dirt bike, just giving it all I've got! He's got flip flops on and finesses the kick starter with an easy stroke and the thing just starts purring. So that's how it's done!! I must say that when the Enfields are running properly, the do purr real nice. Just a slow quiet engine.
We hop on and once again head for the hills. I've still got those metal shavings in the back of my mind and I'm not really seeing how they were related to this repair we just did. It'll turn out they weren't related. It's raining and we put on our rain gear. Like Buurrt said, it's raining heavily and we advance 10km past the hotel we stayed the previous night to Swarghat and find another hotel, get cleaned up, have cocktails and dinner and re-live the intense day we just had, amazed to have made at least 10km headway!!

We get up the next day to a little rain, put our gear on and take off shooting for Manali.
Again, this route is jammed with trucks and here's the typical scene; a truck heading right at us in our lane as he overtakes another one.
We drop down into a deep valley that has numerous busy little villages along the route.
Nothing wrong here amazingly! Just a fuel stop and of course oil fill up for my thirsty beast.
We are traveling along the Beas river which has quite a bit of population along it, scattered through the steep hills.
We take a right and start heading up a sizable tributary to the Beas river. Clouds are breaking and it's turning into a really nice day and the scenery is starting to really come on.
It's been wet in Northern India, the rivers are flowing big time and….
….. the reservoirs are full.
This is turning into an awesome ride up this valley!! We are really starting to feel the Himalaya's as we start to actually get into them.
The young Indian boys LOVE to get photos with western women. They think they're pretty cool getting photos on their cell phones to show their friends. "Madam! One photo, one photo" is their phrase which turns into a mini photo shoot that you need to cut short or you'll be there all day.
Buuurrrt's bike is starting to show it's colors now with a nice little oil drip. Mine is starting to make a deep knock. I have a good idea what it is but I don't want to admit it and I pretend that it's no big deal. Also, I'm trying to figure out if the valve tapping is getting louder or if my mind is just playing tricks on me.
The route through these little towns was quite tight and busy as we headed up the valley toward Manali.
The roads are starting to deteriorate as we climb.
We make it to Manali not long before dark and find a seedy little cheap hotel. We will climb Rohtang Pass in the morning so I decide to give the bike a once over. I pull the tank, valve covers and rocker arm covers. NOT GOOD!! Metal shavings are jammed in the ports again. We discuss this and decide to do an oil change thinking perhaps there was just some metal left from the first break down. We wander around town, have some awesome food and a couple of beers and call it a night.
The bikes went 214km and all we had to do to them this day was add oil, clean out the metal shavings and change the oil.

This RR will leave a mark.
Only three pages in and you have made me laugh and smile more then I have on longer RR's I have read. Years from now you will just have to mention the word "Enfield" to your friends and you will break up laughing.
I can safely say this is turning into an interesting adventure.

We get up and decide we should all go get a Hindu Blessing thinking this will maybe help our Enfield karma situation.
There's a brother/sister team working the crowd here at the temple. It breaks your heart to see these cute kids out begging.
We grab a little grub from the street merchants for the day. Some of our group are a little apprehensive still about the street vendors but I decide it's time to mix in just a little.
We saddle up and start toward Rohtang pass which is 4000m (13000') in elevation. We are getting used to the condition of the roads. Good thing because they wouldn't improve much. Sorry to say but this is not what the Enfields were designed for. Why the XT or DR is not the workhorse of this country I'll never understand. Those bikes would be a dream here.
The road over Rohtang follows a pretty intense route.
We are getting into the thick of the Himalaya's now it it is stunning!!
We climb for a bit and decide to pull over for some routine maintenance. The girls do some eye brow maintenance while I clean out METAL SHAVINGS from the rocker arms!! Looks like the oil change didn't take care of the issue. The valves are definitely ticking louder and I can no longer not acknowledge the deeper knocking noise. At this point, all we can do is baby it.
We're climbing past the mid way point and it's raining harder. The road is not good with deep mud and there are groups of bikers that are admitting defeat as they can't take it any more. It must've been a bit embarrassing as we charge by two up without thinking twice. Buuurrt and I have lot's of desert riding experience in really hairy conditions. With two up on the Enfields, I admit it is challenging riding.
We also have to admit defeat to a certain extent and Buurrrt has to drop his passenger for a stretch. It's raining and people are stuck.
It's getting hairy now!! I will also have to drop my passenger as we negotiate this mud trying to get passed numerous stuck cars and trucks. Again, I suspect this is not what's intended for these Enfields. We're nervous in this type of conditions on these bikes. Buurrrts bike starts acting up at this point with his clutch not wanting to disengage properly, not ideal when you really need it to release!!! My bike continues ticking and knocking and we're not really babying them at this point!!
We actually do pretty good at negotiating the cluster fu%! and the road improves a little. Note the bulldozer on the switchback in this photo. We'd learn that these beasts just live at different locations throughout these passes where they patrol the roads clearing rocks and fixing washouts.
We make the pass and start to descend the other side!! My bike is ecstatic now that it doesn't have to climb any more (we're a bit relieved as well). The rain lets up as we descend.
It's time for a reality break and take it down a few notches. The intensity of the first half of the day is almost overload!! The road conditions coupled with these piece of crap bikes that are barely doing the job along with this absolutely stunning terrain we are in is about too much. We decide we need a sip to ratchet it back a bit.
Even the passengers need a little something to help mellow out!!
A couple of Indians stop as their heading the other way. They can see that we've had an intense day and are not psyched to hear what's ahead of them on the other side of the pass. At least they'd be going down hill through the madness. On a side note, what the heck is all the stuff that people pack on their bikes? I see bikes, not only in India, where people have an unbelievable amount of stuff strapped on. You'd be amazed at what you DON'T need if you don't have it. Try it some time, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Things are really going well at this point.
This valley that we're dropping into is totally amazing!!
The road is not bad and we've got a nice cruise going as we work toward our goal, the town of Keylong for a place to stay.
We come to a confluence of the rivers and start up the next valley. We are so psyched to be traveling through this stuff!!
We make it to Keylong after a very intense day advancing only 117km!! My bike is going to need attention. I don't think it's wise to continue without addressing those metal shavings.
Keylong sits at about 3300 meters (10,000'). We find a great place to stay and settle in for what would be another VERY intense chapter in this adventure.

'American Idol' Top 9 interview: Candice Glover gets everything to 'Come Together' for Beatles weekAdd to Favorites | American Idol
Once again, Candice Glover blew off the roof with her performance during Beatles Week of "American Idol" Season 12. Candice strayed away from the norm -- almost everyone else chose the more somber songs from the Fab Four -- and gave a spirited rendition of "Come Together." We talked to Candice after the performance to see how she felt.
You did a fantastic job tonight.
Candice Glover: Thank you!
You were one of the few people to do an up-tempo song. What factored into that song choice?
Candice Glover: I did not grow up listening to The Beatles at all, so it was really hard for me when I heard that the theme was going to be The Beatles. I knew that being on the show you were going to come across things that you didn't really know, but I was just kind of dreading it. The Beatles are amazing, but I just wasn't familiar with it.
I heard "Come Together" when they gave us the song choices and I was like, "Oh my God, I can really groove to this!" But then I got the lyrics sheet and I'm like, "What in the world! What is this song talking about?" And I didn't know!
A lot of people wonder about those lyrics...
Candice Glover: Yeah! Like multi-fingers and toe jam and stuff like that! And I'm like, I don't know...
They were in their experimental phase at that point.
Candice Glover: I don't know what was going on, but it's a rocking song and it was out of my comfort zone, but I think I did a pretty good job. I did my best.
Do you think Candy Raquel came out tonight?
Candice Glover: I think she did. A little bit! A little bit, but I think Nicki wanted her to come out a little bit more because she was like, "Give me some attitude!" I thought it was a fun song so I was smiling all over the place, but she wants me to show more attitude.
What kind of style were you trying to go for with the song?
Candice Glover: Well I definitely love the idea that I have the electric guitar and the cute guys playing the guitar next to me. In rehearsal I was like, "Woo, I like this!"
But I put a little bit of R&B, like somebody said Aretha meets The Beatles, so I kind of put the soul into it at the same time with a little bit of a growl and stuff like that. I just wanted to put my Candy stamp on it!
Was it more nerve-wracking going into this week's performance knowing you were in the Top 3 last week?
Candice Glover: Yes. It was very, very nerve-wracking. And I was very nervous because when you make the Top 3 once, you want to always make the Top 3 and it's a lot of pressure on you. You want to do a good job and you want America to still love you.
That's why knowing it was The Beatles I was like, "Oh my God, I'm going to be in last place this week!" I was like, "I'm going to do horrible!" I'm my worst critic and I was just doubting myself, but once we got the song together and I learned the crazy lyrics, we got the arrangement together, everything worked out. Everything "Came Together!"
How did you feel making Top 3 last week?
Candice Glover: Just to know that America liked me... Like Ryan said, I'm from an island. And just to know that even more than that small little island of 7000 people that I live on, more people than that voted for me and voted me up into the Top 3 -- I never even knew that all these people would know who I was!
And I'm like, "Oh my God they really love me!" I felt really good and I appreciate it and I just love everyone who supports me. I am so grateful to have them -- my Candy Canes is what I call them!
"American Idol" will announce the Top 9 results on Wednesday, March 21 at 8pm on FOX.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 26, 2014
Tremendous advances in the molecular biology field during the recent decade are boosting the development and introduction of novel nucleic acid diagnostic tests. Furthermore, these advances open nice opportunities for the creation of simpler, faster and more standardized tests, testing platforms as well as more personalized treatment options, which have a possibility to considerably change the face of clinical care.
Nucleic acid biomarkers are currently on the threshold of introducing new strategies aimed to improve cancer diagnostics, including point-of-care (POC) testing. The scientists' expanding knowledge of transitional networks, which regulate gene expressions, will likely assist in understanding the core of cancer phenotypes. The on-going developments enabled the establishment of methods for molecules, for instance, mRNA, which are integral to gene expression, and also micro RNAs that are essential in the regulation of gene expression. Besides, the sphere of genetic changes/mutation, which can be seen in cancer, has been also recently studied in more depth. Whilst, nucleic acid biomarkers provide significant advances alongside phenotypic methods, laboratories gather pace in developing new molecular applications, which are also related to the use of advanced techniques like PCR, microarray, next-generation sequencing, etc.
New research report "Cancer Molecular Biomarkers 2014: A Global Market Study" worked out by Biopharm Reports is now available at MarketPublishers.com.
Report Details:
Title: Cancer Molecular Biomarkers 2014: A Global Market Study
Published: March, 2014
Pages: 153
Price: US$ 3,090.00
The topical study provides an in-depth guide to the global cancer molecular biomarkers filed, covering the present research and clinical use of nucleic acid biomarkers in cancer. It also throws light on the nucleic acid biomarkers anticipated to be used for various applications in the next three years. The report offers comprehensive profiles of molecular techniques and examines the major cancer diagnostic areas, discloses vital information on the evolving and current use of molecular biomarkers, identifies the laboratory users' unmet needs and also evaluates the future growth prospects of the cancer molecular biomarkers market. The report grants access to valuable finding on the performance of the global cancer molecular biomarkers market and, moreover, outlines and thoroughly discusses the market's future opportunities.

Prior to starting Automatic Purchase Orders, vendor information in the Item Master File must be complete and the minimum and maximum fields in the Item Department master must be updated. Correct inventory balances in the system is critical for an accurate report.
The following steps should be taken when using the Automatic Purchase Order system:
|Print the Inventory Under Stock Report and review. The report, also known as the Exception Report, lists the items that are under stocked. This is determined by comparing the minimum level and the current balance. If the current balance is at or below the minimum amount, the item will appear on this report. This report will display any outstanding purchase orders and may be run to display outstanding requisitions, backordered items and items scheduled for a procedure. All items that appear on this list, and do not have an outstanding purchase order, will be ordered when purchase orders are generated. Review the report and make corrections. The three most common changes to be made are: correct the balance in the ordering department with an adjustment, minimum is incorrect and the Item Department Master must be changed, and the maximum is incorrect and the Item Department Master must be changed.
Any item that should not be ordered due to inaccurate item balances or a minimum that is too low may be changed at this point. Once any corrections have been made, reprint the Exception Report and immediately move to the next step. This report creates a temporary file that the generation of purchase orders uses. This must be completed before continuing the process.
Many Materials Management managers use this report along with the Item Usage report for charge usage only, comparing the usage across the hospital with the minimum and maximum. This will aid in developing the ordering levels. This is helpful especially when there are not current minimums and maximums set.
|Determine the Purchase Order Number. There are two options. The first is manually entering the number. If a logbook is being used to track the numbers, then the first available number may be entered and the system will follow in sequential order. This procedure is followed by Pharmacy.
The second option is to use the automatic numbering scheme. The system may automatically assign a number using the next available number. The system will track all numbers used. Consult with a CPSI Materials Management Support Representative before setting up the automatic purchase order numbers.
|Generate the Purchase Order file. This will actually create a purchase order in the system using the primary vendor, manufacturer number and quantity. The system will order up to the maximum quantity of the item. All items that have the same vendor will be listed on the same purchase order; that is, the system will create a purchase order for each vendor, and for all items that are under stocked from that vendor. The system will not create a purchase order for items that have an outstanding purchase order. When creating the purchase orders, a prompt for the PO number will appear with the first automatic number. At this point, change the number or allow the computer to assign the number. The system will be updated with the numbers used.
The system may be set to force a new purchase order number for every twelve items. The benefit of this is the shortened length of a packing slip per purchase order. Please contact a CPSI representative to implement this feature.
Remember to run the Exception report prior to generating purchase orders. If this report is not printed first, an error will occur.

Northwestern Head Coach Bill Carmody
Opening Statement:
"I know coach Sampson doesn't think this is a two-man team, and it's not, but those two guys (Eric Gordon and D.J. White) really killed us today. The first two shots they missed, White rebounded. And with Gordon, we told (our guys) to be there on the catch because he is that good and his range is very good, and we were just late getting there. We contested some, but he is the kind of player when you contest a little late it almost steers it in for them.
"And at halftime, they had 14 missed shots and they got 10 of them back (with offensive rebounds), so they dominated us on the backboard. They went to a zone in the second half and again it was like the start of the start of the game, we ran a set play and got a lay-up and missed it. But that change to the zone definitely hurt us."
On the offensive struggles for a portion of the second half:
On the success of the offense tonight compared to other games in the Big Ten:
"We had six turnovers in the first half and I think we had three walks and that bothered me. If we are going to play with this team, and we did, you can't have missed opportunities with the lay-ups we missed and some of the turnovers in the first half with the three walks. I don't know if they were really forced, maybe they were and they had something to do with it. But I think we have to avoid those things and really cherish the ball."
On changing defenses throughout the game causing Indiana some confusion:

(NEW YORK, NY) -- James McDermott Jr., the former head of investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, on Thursday was sentenced to eight months in prison for passing on inside tips about merger deals to his porn star mistress Marilyn Star.
McDermott, 49, is the first head of a U.S. investment bank to be convicted of and sentenced to jail for insider trading.
Federal Judge Kimba Wood also fined McDermott $25,000 and ordered him to perform 300 hours of community service after he was convicted in April of conspiracy and fraud for insider trading.
Prosecutors had charged him with giving his X-rated movie star girlfriend, Kathryn Gannon, 31, confidential information about regional bank takeover deals.
``Insider trading undermines investor confidence in the integrity of the stock market,'' Wood told a packed Manhattan federal court, saying McDermott was ``keenly aware of the prohibitions against it.''
McDermott wore a dark suit and was silent and composed throughout the sentencing. Before his sentence was read, he publicly apologized to his two teenage daughters and his wife, who has stood by him through the ordeal.
``They are fantastic people -- bright, loyal...Some of the things I was not,'' McDermott told the court of his family, in even, clear tones. ``It is my wife's attempt to keep us together that has allowed us to continue to be together as a family.''
McDermott, Gannon, and Anthony Pomponio, 45, a New Jersey businessman with whom Gannon was involved, were indicted in January for an alleged two-year insider trading scheme. Prosecutors alleged Gannon passed McDermott's trading tips on to Pomponio and the two reaped more than $170,000 off them.
The sentence, which also includes a 2-year supervisory period, was not as harsh as it might have been.
McDermott -- who was not charged with making any money off the insider trading -- had faced a maximum of five years in prison on the conspiracy count and 10 years on each of the fraud charges, as well as much $5 million in fines.
The former banker, who lives in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. and used alcoholism and depression as part of his defense, said he planned to dedicate the rest of his life to rebuilding his reputation and making a greater contribution to his family.
Before this case, McDermott was convicted of drunk driving two times in the past 10 years, although he has stopped drinking. Wood also ordered him to attend an alcoholism treatment program.
Calling himself an ordinary person, McDermott said, ''Throughout this trial I have been described as a stud stock-picker and a master of the universe. That couldn't be further from the truth.''
His lawyer, Denis McInerney, read excerpts from scores of letters to the court testifying to McDermott's character -- including ones from his wife, several priests, a regional bank CEO, the head of his high school, and an electrician.
``My client is extremely remorseful,'' McInerney told the court, in arguing for a light sentence. ``He has been publicly stripped of his job, his livelihood, his reputation and his dignity...This case has already sent a very loud message.''
McDermott's charitable donations and community involvement -- including work for the mentally handicapped and those with cystic fibrosis -- were also stressed, in an effort to mitigate his sentence.
But while Judge Wood lauded his charitable work as rare for someone in his high position, she said McDermott should go to jail in part to deter other would-be white collar criminals.
``A non-incarceration sentence would fail to reflect the seriousness of the offense,'' Wood said. ``The prospect of time in prison has a strong deterrent value for white collar crime.''
A common thread ran through both his drunk driving and insider trading convictions -- ``a recklessness that disregards the public interest,'' Wood said.
McDermott was president of Keefe, Bruyette, an investment bank specializing in bank deals, in 1997 and chairman and chief executive from Jan. 1, 1998 until he resigned last June. His job gave him access to market-sensitive information about takeover deals. He earned about $4 million a year.
Gannon, an X-rated film actress and exotic dancer with a pornographic Internet Web site, was arrested in Canada but freed on bail. Pomponio was convicted of securities fraud and perjury.

36" vs. 42"
I'm in the planning stage and was wondering what the preferred size of oven is.
We have room for the 42" so that is the way I'm leaning but wanted to hear if there are advantages/disadvantages to either size. Thanks!
Re: 36" vs. 42"
Hey Pizza Guy,
I also am planning a 42" oven but have not built anything yet. In my searching and reading on this forum I have found that the oven size is completely and totally up to you and also that they aren't just limited to the 36" or the 42". I have read about ovens being under 30" and up to 48". In fact, I have also heard Gianni Foccacia mention something about a 39" oven being the best but I was unable to find the thread (if you find it please let me know). So I wish I had some kind of facts or statistics to back up what I am saying but in the end I think it is just up to you. Good luck!
Re: 36" vs. 42"
There is no best or perfect oven size. If this were true, why do some folks have more than one oven? It all depends on what you're going to use it for and how often.
I downsized my original 42" design to 39" only because I have two kids who will be in college next fall and felt I would use a slightly smaller oven more often. That plus a cord of oak in southern california is $400 delivered. Like others here know, a 36" oven leaves very little to be desired, but I'm a guy who had big oven-envy and went larger.:D
Re: 36" vs. 42"
And all this time, John, I thought it was some "scientific" reason you decided on a 39" oven instead of the 42". Since my oldest is only 5 I think having the extra space is probably a good thing. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.
Re: 36" vs. 42"
I built a 42" and absolutely love it. I don't think the heat-up time or fuel consumption of a 36" vs. 42" will be much different.
Our 42" doesn't seem too big when we are cooking for just the family (3-4 adults) and it can handle a big party with ease.
If you are cooking by yourself for a big group, a 36" will be fine; you won't be able to juggle more than 2 pies at a time. If you have helpers building pizza's for you, you'll appreciate the extra real estate of a 42"; you'll be able to rotate 3-4 small to medium sized pies in the oven.
If you have the space for a 42", go for it.
Re: 36" vs. 42"
Re: 36" vs. 42"
I had a 34" modular (different mfg) a few years ago and moved to a new house and just built a 42" oven. If you have the room and $ - build the 42".
I can recall wishing I had a bit more room that the 34" oven provided - and really enjoy being able to cook multiple pizzas in the 42" oven.
At the end of the day - I don't know that it takes that much more wood to fire up the 42" . . .
Re: 36" vs. 42"
CPG, as they say "bigger is better". I have a 36" and works fine for me. I cooked 25 pizza's last Sunday with no problem. 3 at a time, 11" to 12" pies..(250g balls).
Re: 36" vs. 42"
Fuel consumption is directly proportional to oven volume, but heat up time will be the same whatever the size. That is more dependent on wall thickness. Smaller ovens tend to be used more often. You probably wouldn't bother to heat a big oven if you were only going to cook three pizzas, it will probably take a wheelbarrow full to heat it. As prepping time takes longer than cooking time, often cooking multiple pizzas at once is often irrelevant. If you want to throw in a whole pig or goat then you do need a big oven. Smaller ovens are a little more tricky to manage due to lack of space. My oven is only 21" but is no drama for parties up to 30, for parties of 50 or more it's a struggle, but still doable.
Re: 36" vs. 42"
I built a 42, and in retrospect, I am glad I did. Remember, there is more than pizza to cook in there. I have done a whole hog (it barely fit thru the arch, but otherwise the 42 was great), and have done more than 50 whole ckickens, with sliced potatoes and sweet onions, in the 11 months since I finished, on a commercial size cookie sheet. That same size pan might not fit in a smaller oven.
One thing I can say is double the insulation under the oven, and quadruple the insulation over the dome. Box the whole thing in. It will hold the heat. Save a piece of the insulation board for your insulated door.
Best of luck

Initially, I wanted to try their Bruschetta since it's quite popular but I forgot what is it called. So I just asked the waiter which is the food that's tall and big and he recommended Super Burger. When it came, I was quite disappointed. After some Googling, I finally knew why the waiter didn't recommend me Bruschetta... it's because the real one is so different from the photo I've seen!!! The real one looks like divide the tall thing into 4 pieces instead of giving you in 1 piece.

This tour may require a mandatory single supplement charge of $2200, if twin-sharing accommodation is unavailable.
Tour Overview
These islands bask in splendid isolation in the warmest ocean of them all, the Indian Ocean. Scattered off the southeast coast of Africa one finds the Indian Ocean Islands hotspot. This hotspot includes the independent nations of Seychelles, the Comoros, Mauritius, and the French overseas departments of Reunion and Mayotte (one of the Comoros). Despite their close proximity, these islands share few of the typical flora and fauna groups of nearby Africa. Instead, they have evolved an exquisitely unique assemblage of species. With tropical blue-green seas, golden palm-studded beaches and landscapes of picture-perfect serenity, the Indian Ocean Islands encapsulate the very essence of the word 'exotic', and set themselves apart as a superlative tour destination.
Basking under a radiant sun in Mauritius, we will discover fascinating natural sites, such as volcanic craters and the Seven Coloured Earth at Chamarel. We will explore modern and historic sites in and around the capital city, Port Louis. Mauritius is arguably one of the Indian Ocean's most striking islands and one that exhibits a pleasing blend of Asian, African, French and British influences. In the Seychelles, we tour the charming streets of the world's smallest capital city, Victoria on the island of Mahe. We will visit UNESCO protected forests rich with unique sights and indigenous wildlife. This an archipelago of upwards of 115 remote and unspoiled islands reminiscent of a land that time forgot.
Reunion, first visited by the Portuguese, is a land of rugged contrast and French heritage. Here we discover volcanic landscapes and admire architecture in historic urban centers. We explore the cirques of Reunion, a series of natural amphitheaters formed by volcanic valleys surrounded by looming peaks. From the colourful houses and rich cultural diversity of Mayotte, to the lemur-teeming landscape of Nosy Be, Madagascar, we leave no stone unturned as we explore the cultural and natural attractions of this spectacular and unique region of the world. Lastly we will visit the Comoros -- the 3rd smallest African nation by area. Located in a strategic position, these islands (Les Comores) once played a major role in a thriving world economy of the western Indian Ocean. Here we voyage the island of Mwali, the smallest, wildest and least visited of all the Comoran Islands.
Regions visited: East Africa
Countries visited: Seychelles; Mauritius; Reunion; Madagascar; Comoros Islands and Mayotte

Oldest public hospital in Texas opens
On this day in 1884, the City-County Hospital, the oldest public hospital in Texas, opened in Austin. The hospital was owned jointly by the city of Austin and Travis County until 1907, when the county withdrew its support. It was known as City Hospital until 1929, when the city council renamed it in honor of Dr. Robert J. Brackenridge, who had served as chairman of the hospital board and worked for many years toward improving medical care in Austin. Brackenridge Hospital offered Austin's first intercranial and open-heart surgery in 1948 and 1961. The city's first intensive-care unit opened there in 1960, its first cardiac-care unit in 1971, and its first alternative birth center in 1978. In addition, the Brackenridge Emergency Room is the regional trauma center for a ten-county area. Brackenridge also housed the area's first nursing school, which was established in 1915 and operated by the hospital until 1984, when Austin Community College assumed responsibility for the program. After beginning an education program for interns and residents after World War II, Brackenridge became a fully accredited teaching hospital in the mid-1950s.
