Uri really cares what happens to Israel. Being the most famous Israeli on Earth makes him suitable for the job.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Celebrity psychic Uri Geller is the beaming new face of Israeli disaster-readiness, starring in army-sponsored TV and Internet advertisements on how to take shelter from missile attacks or earthquakes.
Launched on Wednesday, the campaign marks Geller's return to Israel from Britain and aims to keep Israelis vigilant, though public fears of any imminent war with Iran, Syria or Lebanese and Palestinian guerrillas have receded.
"I decided to do something else, to save lives and help emergency preparations in Israel, which my family and I are making our home base after 43 years abroad," Geller told Reuters.
The 67-year-old entertainer is best known internationally for mental tricks such as bending spoons and stopping watches.
In the ads, Israelis are invited to submit their location at the military's Home Front Command website, where pre-recordings of Geller will "telepathically" inform them where and how quickly to seek cover if air-raid sirens sound.
Such shelters are also meant to provide protection in the event of earthquakes.

The Data Transformation Services (DTS) "Execute SQL Task" terminates without completely processing all the commands in a batch. If the task calls a stored procedure that performs multiple data modification operations, the task can return prematurely after the first command, even before all the other commands are executed.
The task returns after the first command is completed since the "Execute SQL Task" option expects only one result set.
Instead of calling the procedure from a "Execute SQL Task", call the procedure using OSQL.exe. This call can be added to a DTS package using "Execute Process Task".
Setting the NOCOUNT option ON, inside the stored procedure, may help since the DONE_IN_PROC messages are not sent and the procedure may complete without any other messages.

"Fat Kid Rules the World" is a movie with a title that might be misleading: It's a lot better than it sounds like it has any right to be.
Here is the story of a suicidal high school outsider that generates great sympathy for the character, and miraculously supplies him with a loving and supportive father, a reckless new friend who turns out to be good for him, and even a sexy classmate who likes his T-shirt. That has to be the first time a girl has ever told him anything like that.
"Fat Kid Rules the World" isn't either of the things that we might fear: It's not a smarmy feel-good movie, and it's not another dumb teenage comedy. It's smart and observant, and when its laughs come, they're of the dark humor variety.
Much of its success comes from a fresh 21-year-old actor named Jacob Wysocki, who was inspired in his leading debut opposite John C. Reilly in "Terri" (2011), which I invited to Ebertfest this year. Knowing him to be outgoing and personable, I was struck by how convincing he is in this film's early scenes, as Troy Billings, a trudging, listless mouth-breather who exudes a deep sense of defeat. The fat kid he played in "Terri" was more transgressive (he wore his pajamas to high school because they were a "better fit"). Here he's a boy with such low self-regard that he seems frozen in his tracks.
As the film opens, he tries to throw himself under a bus. His life is saved at the last possible moment by a druggie street kid named Marcus (Matt O'Leary), a teenage con man; he quickly sees this sudden relationship as an opportunity to crash at Troy's house and raid the refrigerator. This scheme is greeted coolly by Troy's father (Billy Campbell), a crew-cut, no-nonsense ex-Marine who tries to run a tight ship.
Right away we expect Mr. Billings to be a sadistic drill sergeant, but actually he's a reasonable man who loves both of his sons and even has sympathy for Marcus because "everybody deserves a chance."
The family's mother died not long ago, and now Mr. Billings cooks dinner every night for Troy and his brother, Dayle (Dylan Arnold), who is forever doing his homework at the dining room table. Troy never visibly does homework, but claims he's good at math and everything else "except gym." The two brothers are not hostile but more mutually uncomprehending.
At school, Troy isn't picked on, but more invisible. He gains a little credibility simply by being acknowledged by Marcus, a popular rebel, who, strictly speaking, has been expelled by the school. Able to improvise his way out of any situation, Marcus tells Troy they're going to form their own two-man punk rock band. Troy will be the drummer. Encouraged that his son is at last showing interest in something, Mr. Billings actually buys him a nice set of drums, which come with some rules: no rehearsals after 10 p.m.
Let me describe Troy's ability as a drummer this way: an infant pounding its mashed potatoes with a spoon has as much rhythm. Nevertheless, after Marcus does a fashion makeover for the kid by drawing with a Sharpie on a T-shirt, the word gets around that the two of them are in a band, and his classmate Isabel (Lili Simmons) takes a sweet interest in him. Troy is not only fat but his round cheeks are inflicted with a bright red case of rosacea. What does Isabel see in him? She's sort of an outsider herself and enjoys what she interprets as his spunk.
Weathering this storm in his little family, Billy Campbell is spot-on as the father. No-nonsense middle-aged roles are hard to find, and although Campbell is well-known, especially from his television work, his performance here may intrigue casting directors with his possibilities.
Anyway, that's the set-up. The delivery is unexpected. Even what seems to be a public humiliation ends up making Troy a hit on YouTube. There are of course setbacks and alarming events, but what's affecting is how sensibly and kindly Mr. Billings responds. There's a quiet moment, easy to miss, when he calls Marcus "son." And for such a straight arrow, he takes a big chance on behalf of the two boys.
"Fat Kid Rules the World" marks the directorial debut of Matthew Lillard, who like many actors is better with people than with the camera. There isn't dazzling directorial virtuosity here, but direct and economical filmmaking that focuses directly on the characters. The screenplay by Michael M.B. Galvin and Peter Speakman is based on a best-selling young adult novel by K.L. Going, which tells a story with deep appeal.
Lillard deserves more time behind the camera, and I think we'll be pleased to watch Wysocki's development as an actor. In the world of acting, many are thin but few are talented.

Saira Banu is extremely joyous after performing Umrah in Saudi Arabia with her husband and Bollywood thespian Dilip Kumar and says now she wishes they get an opportunity to go for Haj together.
"It had been a wonderful experience. We had always wished to go to Umrah and by god's grace we did that," Saira Banu, 68, who returned Monday, told reporters at the airport .
"And now my only wish is me and Yusuf sahib (Dilip Kumar) should go for Haj. I pray to god that we get an opportunity to go to Haj," she added.
Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and it can be done any time of the year. However, for Haj people travel to the same place, but only during Eid-ul-azha.
One of the finest actors of Hindi filmdom, Dilip Kumar, who turned 90 in Dec 11 last year, "is also very happy after going to Umrah. We are extremely happy now. It's a very peaceful experience in my life," said Saira.

This product is the best whiteneing product available, i have tried several but this is number 1
Mar 28, 2010 2:18am
Effective & Great Price
This definitely whitened my teeth - although perhaps not to the extent an in-clinic treatment can do. However, for the price, I'd say it's pretty damn amazing. My teeth have turned perhaps 4 shades lighter and there is no more staining. I love it! My parents have seen the results and have asked me to buy the product for them and I'm more than happy to do so.

Six shades whiter
I had pretty stained teeth from smoking and drinking red wine. Bought this product off the internet for $99. It comes with a dvd to show you how to use it. I messed up one of the mouthguards but I rang them and they sent me another one straight away. I used it for 10 days and my teeth went to the number one on the shade guide. I still smoke but every couple of months I wear it for 15minutes and it whitens it all out again.

Awesome results
Love this product, I used it over a year ago and my teeth are still really white. I've used heaps of others before but this one actually worked. I saw changes in only two days but used it for 7 to get them as white as I could.

Great even for sensitive teeth!
This is a seriously effective kit - my teeth are significantly whiter after using for half an hour twice a day for six days.. quite a few people have commented on my lovely smile over the past couple of days!
The guard moulds perfectly to your teeth (after holding in hot water), ensuring the gel is evenly on the tooth service for the whole half hour. Make sure your read the instructions carefully and follow them to get the perfect kit - though don't stress if you don't as you can just drop it back into the hot water and re-mould.
The kit was really easy to use and I am impressed that my teeth are so much whiter so quickly. Love the melon flavour!
I was lucky enough to get some great advice from the creator of B'Dazzled on whitening my teeth when she visited us at beautyheaven HQ. I have always had really sensitive teeth, so was wary of teeth whitening, especially those of professional strength. Firstly, use tooth mousse (ask your dentist) for two weeks before, and then use Sensedyne tooth paste afterwards. My teeth were not sensitive at all after the series of treatments!

The service from B'Dazzled was excellent! After I ordered, I called their office to tell them I hadn't read the instructions properly and messed up my mouthguard. They were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make sure I had beautiful white teeth before my wedding by instructing me on how to speed up the whitening process (I had to complete it in a week). If you are looking to whiten your teeth, this is the place to go - good prices, knowledgeable staff, and excellent products! :-)

The Escape Artist is a 1982 film starring Griffin O'Neal and Raúl Juliá. It was based on a book by David Wagoner, and was the directorial debut of Caleb Deschanel. It was the final film of both Joan Hackett and Desi Arnaz.
Young and self-confident Danny Masters (Griffin O'Neal) is the teen-aged son of the late Harry Masters, the "greatest escape artist except for Houdini". Danny himself is an accomplished magician and escape artist. He leaves home to join Uncle Burke and Aunt Sibyl in their magic/mentalist act; Sibyl welcomes him but Burke is unenthusiastic.
Danny soon finds himself embroiled with Stu Quiñones (Raúl Juliá), corrupt son of Mayor Leon Quiñones. The quest for a missing wallet (pick-pocketed by Danny) leads to the comeuppance of the crooked mayor, and separately of his vindictive and out-of-control son. Along the way, Danny comes to terms with the death of his father, the circumstances of which he did not previously know.[1]

Customer Reviews
Push record instead of stop, loose everything.
I set up my laptop with Logic and recorded an hour and a half live performance to 16 tracks. When the engineer went to stop the recording the mouse was still hovering over the record button. The engineer touched the track pad of the laptop a little too hard and this caused the mouse to click the record button again. If you do this, Logic will wipe out your whole recording and start over again from the beginning of the timeline. No pop-up warning, no ability to undo, nothing. Just an hour and a half of music dissappearing into oblivion with a single accidental mouse click. I don't recall ever setting a preference that allowed this or getting any messages ever. It took me completely by surprise. How any professional recording software could allow this is completely beyond me. I have had good luck with Logic X up to now and I really enjoyed it for the most part. This event, however, has really left me angry. Why would anyone want this feature?
EXS24 is broken and has been since Logic 9
If you have EXS instruments created in a Logic version prior to L9 - there is a problem for the EXS to find the samples. Unlike all Logic versions before 9, there is no option to manually show the EXS where to look for the samples. If you are lucky enough to have the original old hard drive you created the samples on, and you are able to somehow connect it to your Mac - it will work. But copy the folder of samples to your new drive(s) and it stops working. Better hope your old drive doens't die. Appe engineering is aware of the problem - they just don't care. This doesn't matter if you are a relative new user of Logic - but for us old-timers ( I have been in Logic since vers 3) it is a huge problem. As it is known, that Apple bought up Redmatica, who produced the program, that would fix this (EXS Manager) - it is a mystery that functionality hasn't been made available at least, if they don't want to fix Spotlight ( which is the underlying problem). Shame on you Apple for messing up Emagic's great product.
My Fav DAW out of the 3 i own
With Logic's recent update to the piano roll it's now my favorite. Smart Controls are more powerful than Ableton Live's "Macros". If you need a professional DAW from my experience Logic is a steal. I own Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9 Suite, and Studio One 2. I don't own Cubase but i use it regularly as well when working with a friend. Out of the 3 I use Logic the most right now as of the LPX 10.1 update. Logic has progressed leaps and bounds since version 9. I do wish they'd upgrade their standard synths and samplers like EXS24, Ultrabeat, ES2, etc…..as well as change the way LPX handles reversing and playing a audio file backwards. Right now its a destructive process.
All DAW's have their quirks though….and i do mean ALL of them. That aside…..i'm happy enough with LPX right now that it's not a urgent matter.

There's another likely issue too. When the Motronic in my 1150 doesn't see an O2 sensor it outputs a 10% fluctuating mixture as part of its Limp Home function set. I don't know if the BMS-K does that too but if it were me I'd want to know that. You wouldn't see it on the usual dyno tune "pulls" since they are WOT. If they add enough fuel you might not notice it.
Sorry to be a broken record but I'd be interested in running a 1200 with dual LC-1s. No dyno tuning needed to richen the mixture, and you end up with full BMS-K functionality AND you get twin AFR datalogging. There is some benchtop wiring to do before installation but it is pretty potent when done.

I did a big post on my experiences of putting a PC-V/AT on a 2012 R1200GS back in September. I was generally happy with the results.
One thing I will add is the PC-V has one available feature that not of the other fuel modification solutions have (as far as I'm aware) - you can use the PC-V to detune the engine to improve fuel economy. This is one of the factors that I found attractive with the PC-V given my interests in riding in remote areas. I'm planning a trip next summer to do the James Bay / Trans Taiga Highway trip in northern Quebec. There is one stretch where you have to ride 600 kms between fuel stops.
Since the PC-V can store two maps, I will have my regular map which is more performance oriented in all but the narrow cruising band and a second map that I will program to have AFRs in the 15-16 range.

Fuel Table Mapping, Fuel Additions or Subtractions
The main capability of all Power Commanders is that by watching the TPS signal (throttle) and RPM it allows the user to add or subtract percentages of fuel in a matrix of values (The Innovate Motorsports LC-1 does not have this capability). Power Commanders are mainly for Open Loop fueling although the PC-III WB for BMW R1150/1100 was something of a unique product which maintained Closed Loop on those bikes. Some notes: RPM is inferred from Injector firing rate. When you decelerate with closed throttle there are no injector pulses (Overrun Fuel Cutofff), so there is no RPM info for those intervals. The TPS/RPM matrix of values is not the same as the Motronic or BMS-K table of values so the maps don't line up. I don't think this is very important but good to know.
The biggest thing to think about regarding modification of the fueling table by using a Power Commander is whether you can find a tuner who is better than the tuners at BMW who spent thousands of hours on the Fueling Tables doing two jobs: figuring out how much air was in the cylinder at each RPM/TPS point (called VE for Volumetric Efficiency) and then deciding what target AFR was best. Then putting in a best-guess value for injector pulse length. I don't think I could afford the time to do this well, assuming that I could find a qualified tuner. However, a tuner should be able to map a part of the table well that may be tailored to a specific application.
The argument I hear for remapping is a change of exhaust or a change of intake, making the system more free flowing ... and therefore needing a change to the fueling table balance (more air some places, less air others). I'm sure there are good arguments here, which I'm not qualified to make, for changing intake/exhaust components. My general understanding is that exhausts and intakes are tuned systems that are inherently trade-offs in performance at various RPMs. It is entirely possible, even likely that a free-flowing exhaust could reduce the VE of an engine at various RPMs even while it increased VE in other places.
If you want leaner or richer mixtures but prefer to leave the VE tables (fuel tables) undisturbed (believing like I do that the BMW engineering team is better than every solo tuner), there are other better ways to change the overall mixture.
Changing Mixture
The mixture throughout the fuel map in every R1100, R1150 and R1200 that has a catalytic converter and O2 Sensor(s), is monitored and enforced by the switching point of the stock O2 sensor, which switches at a fuel ratio of Lambda = 1 (14.7:1 for gasoline or 14.1:1 for E10). This is a good point to mention that although the fuel tables are designed for gasoline, the O2 sensor allows the Motronic or BMS-K, through a process called Adaptation, to learn which fuel is in the tank and Adapt to it. E10 is 4% leaner than gasoline. A key point is that when you disconnect the O2 sensor(s), your motorcycle can no longer Adapt to Ethanol or other fuel differences.
The PC-V AT and LC-1 both allow you to change the overall mixture of the motorcycle but they do that in very different ways. The PC-V adds and subtracts fuel by the matrix mentioned in the previous paragraph BUT with the O2 sensors disconnected from BMS-K, keeping it from Adapting-Out the added (or subtracted) fuel.
With the LC-1, you add (or subtract, yes it can create a leaner mixture if you want) fuel by changing the Lambda switching point to a new value. For instance if you want 6% more fuel added you program it to Lambda = 0.94. if you want a 6% leaner mixture you program it to lambda = 1.06. The LC-1s replace the stock O2 sensor with a Wideband O2 whose transition point can be programmed. This preserves the full functionality of the Motronic or BMS-K ECU.
I found that merely reprogramming Lambda and adding fuel makes a big difference in performance, without any retuning of the BMW VE (fueling) tables. I would try this before thinking about an aftermarket exhaust or intake (unless of course you're making a style or sound decision).
Closed Loop, Don't give it up lightly
As I mentioned, the LC-1 is a controller and Wideband O2 sensor that replaces the existing O2 sensor(s) and plugs into the O2 sensor harness. That allows the BMS-K or Motronic to maintain its full functionality (that we paid thousands of dollars for). The key thing you keep is Closed Loop operation and Adaptation Values.
The PC-V/AT with one or two Wideband O2 sensors allows you to monitor the fuel additions or subtractions you've made (it can even help you make them) but it does not pass its signal to the BMS-K. This means the BMS-K is forever more stuck in Open Loop without any ability to calculate Adaptation Values. In my opinion, this is a major shortcoming of the PC-V. Even if you believe that your tuner can do better than BMW, his or her tune is only for the conditions under which it was tuned.
If the battery voltage changes as it does while charging, if the air filter gets restricted as it does by filtering the air and collecting dirt, if the VE of the cylinders change as they do from carbon or fuel residue there or on the valves, if any of the sensors are inaccurate or if you change the Ethanol content of the fuel from 0% to 5 or 10%, the AFR of your motorcycle will change and the BMS-K or Motronic will only partially be able to partially correct some of the changes. The AFR errors can easily reach 10% which means that you could have tuned for 13.8:1 at a point and the actual fueling could get as lean as 15.2:1, that's perhaps an extreme but half that error would not be uncommon, and I've measured such errors.
A further problem with disconnecting the O2 sensor(s) is that the Motronic (and I believe BMS-K) assumes a fault, and triggers a Limp Home fueling sequence that varies the mixture by about 10%--a very wide spread.
PC-V with dual Autotune (and dual Wideband sensors) can be purchased for $600 to $700--plus whatever Dyno time you believe you need.
LC-1 is $160 at Amazon and others, including the Bosch LSU 4.2 Wideband O2 sensor, an AFR gauge and datalogging. Two therefore cost $320.
The biggest problem with the LC-1 is that it doesn't come with a connector for the BMS-K or Motronic O2 Sensor input connection. You have to buy one, or cut it off your stock O2 sensor and wire it to the LC-1 cable.
I hope this helps by expanding the discussion of options.

I've asked this question a number of times with no results, but will inquire again:
In the upper Midwest (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana), is there a reputable dyno tuner who is familiar with setting up a GS w/ PC5?
I'd appreciate any leads or information.
I found Jesus. He was behind the sofa the whole time.

My bike was dropped off at the BMW shop yesterday for the 600 mile service, I am picking it up next Saturday and taking it to EDR for the PC-V and dyno map. Eric the owner of EDR has done all of my bikes for about the last ten years and it has been a huge improvement every time. It is always nice to see the before and after dyno sheets to see what you get for your money, but as everyone knows its more about how the bike runs, throttle response, etc.
I didn't buy a GS to make it fast, but I would like to smooth it out a bit!
It will probably be three weeks or so before its done as I have also ordered the Ohlin's TTX ESA shocks and a set of Woody's wheels so it is all getting done at once.
I'll post the dyno sheets when I get them.

Cause of Citgo East Refinery's alkylation unit leak Monday night investigated
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Citgo East Refinery's alkylation unit remains offline while personnel verify what caused a Monday night leak.
Initial analysis shows that propane, butane and pentane were released into the air, along with a small amount of hydrofluoric acid, Citgo spokesman Larry Elizondo said.
Chemical figures will be released at a later date, Elizondo said.
An alkylation unit produces high-octane products for gasoline.
Sensors detected the leak about 7:15 p.m. Monday.
Automatic water cannons were activated, which confined the leaking chemicals to the immediate area of the unit, according to a company statement.
Hazardous materials crews also were called to the scene.
The nearby community was never in danger as a community air monitoring team did not detect chemicals, according to the statement.
No one was injured.
The water cannons appeared to be triggered by a leak in a flange, or the point where two spools of pipe are fastened together, Elizondo said.
The final cause is being assessed, he said.
The plant's oil refining abilities were not affected by the leak and shutdown, Elizondo said.
In 2009, the alkylation unit — commonly called an "alky unit" — exploded and caught fire, seriously injuring a worker and leading to a federal investigation and state environmental fines.

My membership will end after mid August and I won't be renewing it, so hit me up before then if you want. I'm living the life I want to live. So are you. If we happen to be a great match...well, that would be just gravy. I'm comfortable in my own skin and so are you. We can talk for hours about everything and nothing.We laugh at each others jokes. I think you are awesome. You think I'm awesome. Sounds great, right? Easy peezy. This is where I share random facts about myself that may or may not be interesting to you: -I recently planned a flash mob. -I have a slight house plant addiction (30 I just counted). -I was asked to present at my company meeting a few weeks ago and I decided to do a full-fledged stand-up act. It went really well but I won't be quitting my day job just yet. -The one fear I haven't conquered is acting. -On Saturdays I work out for three hours in the morning and then recharge with a bacon cheeseburger and an IPA. -I work really hard. I love my job. I'm good at it. And I have no problem taking a day off in order to extend a camping, hiking and hot spring trip. -If I could ,I would be in the water all the time. Yes, I do wish I was a mermaid. I could list a bunch of positive qualities now but if you've read this far, I'm guessing I've either piqued your interest or it's sheer morbid curiosity prodding you on. So here's what's true. -I'm a warm, caring, nurturing and accepting person. -I have big love to give. -The people in my life mean everything to me. -I feel strongly about human rights, caring for others, and living a life filled with integrity. It would be really great to meet someone like-minded and then we could spend time doing fun stuff and liking each other. If that sounds great to you, send me some random facts about yourself that I may or may not find interesting and we'll go from there.

Hi all,
I have a GT power RC charger (cheap and nasty I imagine, maybe part of the issue), i've only used it a few time now and ive read the manual several times but cant figure it out. I am unsure if Im doing it right or if I am messing it up..
I charged my 7cell, 3000Mah 8.4v traxxas batteries yesterday and I charged them at either 2or3 amps and they charged ok (took around 1hr got warm but not anything too much)... I got home and ran them, I then recharged at home and it would not allow me to charge them above 1.7amps (took around 2hrs), today I baught 2 differant ones (same 8.4 7c 3000mah trx batts) into work to charge and they will only charge at 1.2 amps (it stopped after25mins and said it was full). If I try to charge them at any higher amps it gives me an error message saying the input power drops below limit?
Why does the amps it will allow me to charge at change?
Q.2, I also have a pair of LiPo's, Team orion 3c 11.1v 45C 4500Mah batteries which I am changing to run parallel, (series is too much), and would like to charge any advice welcome... cheers..
any simple explanations would be much appreciated....
