Product description
In this study, Assaf Yasur-Landau examines the early history of the biblical Philistines who were among the 'Sea Peoples' who migrated from the Aegean area to the Levant during the early twelfth century BC. Creating an archaeological narrative of the migration of the Philistines, he combines an innovative theoretical framework on the archaeology of migration with new data from excavations in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel and thereby reconstructs the social history of the Aegean migration to the southern Levant. The author follows the story of the migrants from the conditions that caused the Philistines to leave their Aegean homes, to their movement eastward along the sea and land routes, to their formation of a migrant society in Philistia and their interaction with local populations in the Levant. Based on the most up-to-date evidence, this book offers a new and fresh understanding of the arrival of the Philistines in the Levant.

Author information
Assaf Yasur-Landau is Senior Researcher at the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies, Haifa University. He has edited three volumes and published numerous articles on the the archaeology of the Levant and interactions between the Aegean world and the Levant, including the Philistine migration, with an emphasis on the investigation of the personal lives of ancient people.
Review quote
'This book is published exactly one hundred years after the first book on the Philistines - a book by the British archaeologist R. A. St Macalister (The Philistines, 1911). While Macalister had very few sources at his disposal, Yasur-Landau can reply on extensive archaeological research as well as on a large body of literature, including the books published by Moshe and Trude Dothan published between 1967 and 2006.' International Review of Biblical Studies

My bike started smoking on startup randomly at about 30,000 miles. We just recently tore down the top end and found that one of the valve seals had failed. The valve guide was fine, but the seal was bad. That allowed oil to drip into the rear cylinder if the rear exhaust valves were open when the bike stopped. If this bike smoked from one cylinder on startup and not both, then this is a possible culprit. The bike can be ridden like that, but it is annoying to get a big puff of smoke on startup randomly.
I don't know what "uncocked" means. If the bike was rejetted, then the owner probably removed the charcoal canister and SAS systems. Many owners rejet the carbed bikes using large idle and main jets. In my view, that's a mistake. My bike came with that jetting, and I spent a lot of time trying to make the bike run correctly. My jetting is just about stock now, and the bike runs very, very well. On the dyno it puts out 85 bhp at the rear wheel, and that's enough for me.

The funny, silly, sad lesson for me probably won't ever become the stuff of Hollywood lore that I wish it would. You see, during preparations for On My Honor, my first short film, I called virtually everyone I had ever worked with to ask for help. To a person, no one would contribute a cent, but just about everyone offered help in some way, shape, or form. Notably, Steven Spielberg offered to let me use his editing suites at Amblin on the Universal lot. I'll never forget driving into Universal Studios with ten or so reels of film in cans in my hatchback. Those cans represented a thirty thousand dollar investment, and I had them cooking in the L.A. sun in my car! Regardless, here I was, a bona fide filmmaker heading for the sacred work space that Spielberg had so generously offered for my use. I found myself alone in the editing room with no idea how to load the 35 millimeter film into the Moviola in order to look at it. I was terrified that Steven would pop his head in, and I would be exposed for the neophyte/fraud/idiot that I had pretended not to be. I opened the first canister of film and picked it up incorrectly. The core of the film fell out, and there I was, sitting in a tangled ball of film. I hightailed it out of there and have only been back once, in a faded audition attempt for High Incident, Spielberg's television show about the LAPD. Ironically, Steven told everyone in the room that he'd seen my second short film, Kangaroo Court, and that I was an excellent filmmaker.
The point of this story is that I was too embarrassed to ask for help and too impatient to figure out a problem on my own. I believe that mistake cost me the possibility of having Steven check up on me and the untold benefit that might have come from the folks at Amblin seeing me as a familiar face around the shop. While I deeply regret my fallibility in this regard, I am grateful to Milton Justice for stepping into the breach and working with me despite my idiosyncrasies. I think today he stiff considers me someone he'd be willing to work with, and that thought makes me happy.
As it turned out, Mark Rocco, a young director, was paying for a big suite of offices adjacent to our "storeroom" office, and he was in the process of putting together a movie about homeless drug addicts. Mark, the son of actor Alex Rocco, went on to forge a reasonably successful career, highlighted by a critically acclaimed movie tided Murder in the First, which features Kevin Bacon giving perhaps the performance of his life as a prisoner on death row at Alcatraz. At the time, however, Mark was just a hungry young director, eagerly trying to make contacts and assemble projects. Judging from the traffic in and out of his office, it seemed that a key component of his strategy was to form friendships with young Hollywood actors. At first, I thought he seemed like a scurrilous individual, and I didn't have a lot of respect for what he was doing. I knew he was planning to make a movie about street kids, and he just seemed kind of creepy.

Kirk & Marcus - Next Film Thoughts?
After watching STID several times since getting the DVD, I can't help but think they were already setting us up for a budding romance between Kirk and Carol Marcus. It's subtle but if you watch their interactions closely, it can easily be inferred that they're attracted to each other. Not just the obvious times, like when she first shows up on the shuttle, or when she's half naked telling him to turn around, but at other times too. On the bridge of the Vengance, when Khan is on his rampage, Carol looks Kirk's way several times with a little more than just concern. And when they materialize in the Enterprise brig, his first action is to move to her side. And then there's the smile on is face at the end when he's welcoming her to the crew, no mistaking that Jim Kirk "I totally thing you're hot" smile. This has just been my take on it anyway.

I notice the AAA bullpen had a bad night. We are hoping Coutlangas , Salmon, and McBeth will make it back to Cincinnati next year, but tonight was a setback. I am beginning to wonder how much Coutlangas' demotion affected him.

Ive been ringing the Drew Stubbs bell for a while, but I just wanted to do it once more....
Since the start of July:
.313/.399/.549 in 178 plate appearances with 13 doubles, 4 triples and 5 HR.
Drew Stubbs stats if you take out June:
.297/.394/.485 in 398 plate appearances.
Rumor has it that Drew Stubbs intentionally injured himself to give the rest of the league a chance against him.
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
the fact that he's limped through the whole season and has these type of numbers, yes Linecum is a stud, but Stubbs is playing like a no.1 I wish some more bashers would fess up and come clean and admit they were wrong about him...not the guys who already have I tip my hat to those guys, its the other guys who havent stepped up. Geez there were 100 post threads going on in here slamming my guy.
Drew Stubbs is about 1 year into his professional career. He has the talent to boom, the vulnerability to bust. He's real interesting that way. Seems he's hit this hot spurt since being moved down in the order.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
I really wonder what the plan was for keeping Votto in AAA the whole year? The guy deserves to be up..i know no room for him, but he needs to be at the major league level.
Reds fan since 1970
I am hoping the Reds will have a waiver deal done by the start of September, and Votto will be on the team by then. Worst case scenario, he has to wait until next year after Conine retires. He really has nothing left to prove in AAA.

Donnie Scott and Darren Bragg made it mandatory for everyone to choke up to try and cut down on the strike outs. Drew has been on fire since then. It has really helped the team. Here some stats for the last 10 games for some of the guys. The coaches deserve some of the credit.
Stubbs .450
Kainer .390
Louwsma .316
Turner .366
Rojo .306
if thats true then it's damn good coaching, if we could get a guy named Adam to try that from time to time.

on Sep. 18, 2012
I enjoyed it, but the story left me wanting more.
The Mystic Wolves
on Sep. 20, 2012

Prince of Wolves, Book 1 The Grey Wolves Series
on Sep. 21, 2012

Blood Rites, Book 2 The Grey Wolves Series
on Sep. 22, 2012
Another very good read, but lots of punctuation, grammar errors. Sometimes this took me out of the story.
Forget Me Not
on Sep. 25, 2012
I really enjoy the characters in this series. I have read them all and I am looking forward to more. The only problem I found was the incorrect use of words (Out of place), bad punctuation (sometimes out of place), and the names of characters used in scenes where they didn't belong. I hope the next book gets a better last read through.
Just One Drop, Book 3 The Grey Wolves Series
on Sep. 25, 2012
I love Jen's spunk. She is a delight to read. Do a really good last edit to catch errors and you have a winner.

Emerald Knoll
on Oct. 09, 2012
I enjoyed both books, but please get a good proof reader there are so many sentence structure and context mistakes.

Reviving Bloom
on Oct. 31, 2012
A really good read. The characters are spirited and appealing. The action sets a good pace. I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens next. A few word choice errors such as 'here' for 'hear' as well as sentence structure errors 'extra' or 'missing' words, but the book was a successful 'first'in a new series.

on May 25, 2013

Bill Etheridge is said to have described the Nazi dictator as a "magnetic and forceful" performer who "achieved a great deal".
The remarks were made as the West Midlands MEP delivered a seminar at the Young Independence Conference in Birmingham.
Reports yesterday suggested Mr Etheridge told the class: "When Hitler gave speeches, and many of the famous ones were at rallies, at the start he walks, back and forth, looked at people - there was a silence, he waited minutes just looking out at people, fixing them with his gaze.
"They were looking back and he would do it for a while. And then they were so desperate for him to start, when he started speaking they were hanging on his every word."
He added: "I'm not saying direct copy - pick up little moments."
A Ukip spokesman said: "Bill Etheridge gave a seminar on public speaking and highlighted great speakers of the past, like Churchill, Blair, Martin Luther King and Hitler as people whose style, not content could be studied."
He also criticised the coverage by the newspaper which reported the story.

Publisher's Description
Sometimes, finding hope in a tough situation is easier said than done. Gaining a Hopeful Spirit challenges us to receive hope from the Lord. When life leaves us desolate and foggy, the Lord wants to pick us back up and show us how hopeful we really can be. Joni has helped countless people pick their heads up when the road ahead seemed bleak. As a woman who has been through a tragic accident that left her quadriplegic, she can speak first-hand about Satan's schemes that will keep you from living a life of worship.
How can you be a source of joy for someone else when you are going through a hard time? Joni draws you closer to God as you realize that the hope that can get you through even the toughest of times only comes from God our Father. After reading this pamphlet, you'll be able to help pass on the hope to friends and family members experiencing hopeless times.

Jimmy ReaganWest Union, OHAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Helpful atlasMarch 24, 2014Jimmy ReaganWest Union, OHAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Would you like a fine Bible Atlas written by someone who has been immersed in the lands of the Bible? Then the Rose Then and Now Bible Atlas is a great option for you. Substantial at 272 pages, yet accessible even for newer Bible students, we have a real asset here.
Perhaps you saw the earlier Rose Then and Now Bible Maps. I always felt it was more of a Sunday School item than one for the serious Bible student, though the modern overlays are a brilliant idea. Frankly, there were just too few of them and I would have preferred a different scale at times. There are about the same number of overlays, but we have a fine atlas too. Really, the overlays are just a nice addition to the atlas itself.
What we have now is Rose Publishing joining the big boys in the atlas world. What is unique to this volume among the atlases out there is the historical detail given. Paul Wright does a great job of relating the biblical narrative as he progresses incorporating well the geographic details. The history begins with the Patriarchs. There is no mention of Adam or Genesis 1-11, pro or con. My guess is that there is little real geographic knowledge of those times.
Still, Scripture pervades the volume. In the chapter on Jesus, He is described as God in human form. The entire atlas takes a historical approach. There are no sections on parts of the Bible like, say, the Minor Prophets. Their time period is covered in the historical flow, just not the books themselves. Most atlases take the other approach, but I am glad to have one from this distinct vantage point.
The maps themselves are from Carta, which is the gold standard of Bible maps. The pictures are satisfactory and the maps plentiful enough to go along with a rich text. Most people just try to get one quality Bible Atlas. This volume is a contender for the Bible Student.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.
RethaSouth AfricaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Awesome atlas that brings history to lifeMarch 4, 2014RethaSouth AfricaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Do you read the Bible and wonder what the weather was like, what type of soil the Israelites had to contend with or where exactly did these specific events take place? At a glance the Rose Then And Now Bible Map Atlas reveals these mysteries. Although the Israelites lived centuries ago, their lives and times become a reality when peering through plastic overlays of modern day maps on top of biblical maps centuries ago.
The Old Testament timeline cleverly combines Bible history, time span markers and year markers. The Bible books are displayed according to the historical settings, not when the books were written.
One of the maps that fascinated me the most was the one on Culture and Commerce in the Ancient Near East. In addition to the different trade routes, the map displays the different commodities by way of tiny images, e.g. for horse breeding, camel breeding, and where different mines were.
The route travelled by Abraham took him through fertile lands with abundant water as well as the hard limestone and hill countries of Israel. His daily challenges to keep his tribe safe, such as finding grazing for his livestock, digging wells for water, and protecting it, becomes a reality with the different land context maps displaying the geography, the topical surfaces, and climate.
Another example of the Bible Map Atlas's uniqueness is a map highlighting events in the life of John, for example where he met Jesus for breakfast. Each chapter written on historical people and events contain relevant maps, tables, Bible passage references, and images.
I highly recommend, the Rose Then And Now Bible Map Atlas for its uniqueness, researched information, relevance, and picturing the life and times of the Bible. It draws you in; you will spend hours in these pages without realizing it.
Rose Publishing provided me with an advanced reader copy.
paul dareWestland, MIAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Outstanding ResourceFebruary 25, 2014paul dareWestland, MIAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Another wonderfully made, helpful and encouraging resource from Rose Publishing. The Rose Then and Now Bible Map Atlas is a beautifully hardbound volume that belongs on the shelf of any Bible student today. This 272 page text book by PhD Phil H. Wright is packed with beautiful color photographs of the Middle East along with over 100 full color maps. There are eight (if I counted them all) plastic overlays that give the reader a great compare and contrast view of ancient cities and regions with modern day countries and capitols.
Dr. Wright uses the flow of the books of the Bible to shed insight on the lay of the land and it's importance during each epoch of Biblical history. Scholarly and robust articles on the patriarchs, Moses, David, Jesus, Paul and more, explore the details of each period of history and paint a sweeping visual survey of the Bible for the reader.
This is a great book and would make a wonderful gift to a high school graduate, heading off to Bible college. It would also make a great coffee table book for any Christian family.
I can highly recommend another great publication from the team at Rose Publishing. Get your Then and Now Bible Atlas today.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - After touring the Ashkelon neighborhood hit by a Grad missile Tuesday morning, Likud chairman Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu said a government led by him would topple Hamas.
"[Foreign Minister] Tzipi Livni and the people of Kadima [party] scoffed at the predictions regarding rocket fire. A government led by me will overthrow the Hamas rule in Gaza and bring about a cessation of rocket fire," Netanyahu said.
One resident pleaded with him not to give the defense ministry to present Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
"Enough talking," the resident shouted. "Promise us you won't appoint Ehud Barak as defense minister."
Netanyahu didn't respond to the plea.
Earlier in the week, Moshe Ya'alon, former IDF chief of general staff now running on the Likud party ticket, told participants of the annual Herzliya Conference that Islamic terror groups saw the Israeli withdrawals from Lebanon and the Gaza Strip as "victories to jihad."
"History has taught us that capitulating to terror only invites more terror," Ya'alon said.
"In the case of Israel, steadfastness against terror also includes standing firm, without discussing any territorial concessions," the former IDF chief said.
"We have learned that our concessions over the past 15 years have brought upon us only more terror, rockets and bloodshed," he said.

Selected viruses, spyware, and other threats: sorted alphabetically
Flip is a multi-partite virus. It attacks not only COM and EXE files but also hard disk's MBR. When it is installed into memory it finds out the original address of interrupts services by means of tunnelling, and attacks MBR. Before the virus writes its body, it encrypts it using always a different decryptor. The virus presents itself as follows: on the second day in a month, after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it will turn the contents of the screen upside down around an imaginary centre. By doing so the first line becomes the last one; at the same time everything from the right side is moved to the left side. When infecting MBR the virus has difficulties with disks of capacity higher than 32 MB {at time of its origin disk like that were rare}; while manipulating the partition table it can reduce their size below 32 MB. There are also variants of this virus 2153 and 2343 bytes long, in rare cases even different ones.

1813, from Modern Latin genus name Mastodon (1806), coined by French naturalist Georges Léopole Chrétien Frédéric Dagobert, Baron Cuvier (1769-1832) from Greek mastos "breast" (see masto-) + -odon "tooth" (see tooth); so called from the nipple-like projections on the crowns of the extinct mammal's fossil molars. Related: Mastodontic.
Any of several extinct mammals of the genus Mastodon (or Mammut). Mastodons resembled elephants and mammoths except that their molar teeth had conelike cusps rather than parallel ridges for grinding. Like elephants, mastodons had a pair of long, curved tusks growing from their upper jaw, but males also sometimes had a second pair from the lower jaw. Like mammoths, mastodons were covered with hair. They lived from the Oligocene Epoch to the end of the Ice Age.

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Reports Record Third Quarter
<p> --Record net sales of $1.1 billion; a 4% increase </p> <p> --Record operating profit of $130 million; 12% of net sales </p> <p> --Record third quarter net income of $1.17 per share attributable to Cooper Tire & Rubber Company </p>
Friday, November 02, 2012
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Reports Record Third Quarter07:35 EDT Friday, November 02, 2012 FINDLAY, Ohio (Business Wire) -- Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE: CTB)today reported results for the third quarter of 2012. Net sales were a record for any quarter of $1.1 billion, an increase of $47 million, or 4%, compared with the same period a year ago. Operating profit was a record for any quarter of $130 million, $82 million higher than third quarter 2011 and 11.8% of net sales. Net income attributable to Cooper Tire & Rubber Company was a third quarter record of $74 million, or $1.17 per share on a diluted basis, and compares with $17 million, or $0.27 per share, for the same period last year. "Our third quarter financial results include several record performances for Cooper Tire," said Chief Executive Officer Roy Armes. "Total global volume grew by 5%. Once again, our U.S. volumes grew while the overall industry declined. We believe our ability to outpace the industry is attributable to strong execution of our strategic plan, especially our focus on new product introductions that are positioning Cooper as the consumer choice for performance and value. In addition, our initiatives to improve efficiency helped lower costs, and we benefitted along with the industry from lower raw material costs. We are pleased with our teams and their ability to drive results around the world, which should continue to deliver value to our shareholders." Third quarter profits were positively impacted by lower raw material costs of $144 million, volume increases totaling $9 million and $7 million in manufacturing efficiencies. These profit contributors were partially offset by $36 million in unfavorable price and mix, $28 million in higher selling, general and administrative costs as the company continued to invest in expanding distribution networks and promoting Cooper brands, $7 million in higher product liability costs and $7 million in "other" costs, which included higher pension expense. Higher incentive compensation costs, resulting from higher profits, affected selling, general and administrative costs and other costs. The company ended the third quarter with $272 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $181 million compared with the prior-year third quarter balance of $91 million. Improved profits and lower working capital contributed to the higher cash balance. A summary presentation of information related to the quarter is posted on the company's website at http://coopertire.com/Investors/Financials/Quarterly-Summary.aspx. North America Tire Operations North America Tire Operations achieved net sales of $816 million during the third quarter, up 7% from third quarter 2011 net sales of $760 million. Increased sales resulted from higher unit volumes and higher price and mix. Unit sales for the North American segment increased 4% compared with the prior-year third quarter. Cooper's total light vehicle tire shipments in the United States increased 6% during the quarter compared with total industry shipments that were down 3% as reported by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). The segment's operating profit was $105 million for the third quarter, or 12.8% of net sales. This represents an increase of $87 million compared with third quarter 2011. The improved profit includes a $102 million decrease in raw material costs, manufacturing efficiencies of $9 million and higher unit volumes of $6 million. These improvements were partially offset by $14 million of higher selling, general and administrative costs. Product liability costs increased $7 million and "other" costs were $7 million higher attributable to pension related expense and incentive compensation. Price and mix was $1 million unfavorable. Higher incentive compensation costs, resulting from higher profits, affected selling, general and administrative costs and other costs. International Tire Operations The company's International Tire Operations reported third quarter sales of $411 million, a decrease of $11 million, or 3%, compared with the same period a year ago. Higher unit volumes of $45 million and favorable currency translation of $4 million were more than offset by pricing and mix of $60 million. Sales volumes in Asia increased 10%, while European sales volumes decreased 5%. Higher sales in Asia were driven by improved truck and bus radial and premium passenger car tire sales. European sales volumes decreased as a result of weak market conditions that were partially offset by incremental volumes from the company's new operation in Serbia. The International segment achieved third quarter operating profit of $36 million, or 8.6% of net sales, compared with $30 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Profits improved by $64 million attributable to lower raw material costs and $3 million from higher unit volumes. Partially offsetting these improvements were unfavorable price and mix of $53 million and $7 million of higher selling, general and administrative costs, reflecting strategic investments to expand the company's distribution network in China and to promote Cooper brands. Manufacturing efficiencies decreased $2 million. Outlook Raw material prices decreased by 13% sequentially from the second quarter to the third quarter. Management anticipates fourth quarter raw material prices will be approximately the same as the third quarter, and that the long-term outlook for raw material prices will be to generally trend higher. Capital expenditures for 2012 are expected to be between $180 million and $210 million, including the investment in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and investments related to the continuing ramp-up of Serbian operations. "We are confident that our ability to execute our strategic plan will drive results and build on the positive momentum we've established over the last several quarters," Armes said. "We expect to compete at or above the industry in our markets and believe that we are on the right path toward continued profitable growth for our company. Still, we are approaching the future with caution regarding several factors that we cannot control, such as the challenging global economic environment and factors specific to the tire industry, which contribute to uncertainty about the near-term future." Third Quarter 2012 Conference Call Today at 11 a.m. Eastern Management will discuss the financial and operating results for the third quarter in a conference call for analysts and investors today at 11 a.m. Eastern. The call may be accessed on the investor relations page of the company's website at www.coopertire.com.

Such "forward-looking statements" are generally, though not always, preceded by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "will," "should," "believes," "projects," "intends," "plans," "estimates," and similar terms that connote a view to the future and are not merely recitations of historical fact. Such statements are made solely on the basis of the Company's current views and perceptions of future events, and there can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be true. It is possible that actual results may differ materially from those projections or expectations due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the failure to achieve expected sales levels; volatility in raw material and energy prices, including those of rubber, steel, petroleum based products and natural gas and the unavailability of such raw materials or energy sources; the inability to obtain and maintain price increases to offset higher production or material costs; the failure of the Company's suppliers to timely deliver products in accordance with contract specifications; changes in economic and business conditions in the world; changes in interest or foreign exchange rates; increased competitive activity including actions by larger competitors or lower-cost producers; consolidation among the Company's competitors or customers; changes in the Company's customer relationships, including loss of particular business for competitive or other reasons; litigation brought against the Company, including products liability claims, which could result in material damages against the Company, as well as potential increases in legal fees due to a more active trial docket; volatility in the capital and financial markets or changes to the credit markets and/or access to those markets; an adverse change in the Company's credit ratings, which could increase its borrowing costs and/or hamper its access to the credit markets; failure to implement information technologies or related systems, including failure to successfully implement an ERP system; changes in pension expense and/or funding resulting from investment performance of the Company's pension plan assets and changes in discount rate, salary increase rate, and expected return on plan assets assumptions, or changes to related accounting regulations; the impact of labor problems, including labor disruptions at the Company or at one or more of its large customers or suppliers; changes to tariffs on certain tires imported into the United States from the People's Republic of China or the imposition of new tariffs or trade restrictions; government regulatory and legislative initiatives including environmental and healthcare matters; the failure to develop technologies, processes or products needed to support consumer demand; technology advancements; the risks associated with doing business outside of the United States; failure to attract or retain key personnel; inaccurate assumptions used in developing the Company's strategic plan or operating plans or the inability or failure to successfully implement such plans; failure to successfully integrate acquisitions into operations or their related financings may impact liquidity and capital resources; changes in the Company's relationship with joint-venture partners; the inability to recover the costs to develop and test new products or processes; inability to adequately protect the Company's intellectual property rights; and inability to use deferred tax assets. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements in this report are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected.

Earth saviours
March 28, 2008
Following an initiative by Reform rabbis Neal Amswych and Rabbi Jeffrey Newman, Bournemouth Borough Council has become the first UK district council to adopt the Earth Charter. The process to adopt it was initiated almost a year ago after the two rabbis attended an interfaith meeting in the area.

The Pirates made another move this afternoon, signing left-handed starter Erik Bedard to a 1-year, $4.5 million deal.
I don't have a lot of time for a long post, but I am a big fan of this pickup. Bedard is a very good pitcher – possibly the best on the current staff – when healthy. The problem is that he's ridiculously injury-prone. Still, it's a very worthwhile risk for the Pirates to take, in my opinion. $4.5M is a pretty good price, so it's not the end of the world if he gets hurt or flames out. Again, though, if he's healthy he will be as good as or better than Charlie Morton or Kevin Correia. Suddenly, turning down Paul Maholm's option looks a lot more reasonable.
The Bucs also signed catcher/1B Jose Morales to a minor league contract. He'll be thrown into the giant mix of mediocre catchers the Pirates already have, and I doubt he'll start the year with the club. The Nate McLouth deal also became official today – he signed for $1.75M. To clear space for McLouth and Bedard, Jason Jaramillo and Pedro Ciriaco were designated for assignment.

Ready for the next bubble?
It's been rather quiet lately when it comes to speculation about another housing bubble. Too quiet, I guess.
Market watchers at Trulia, Zillow and Redfin have been dissing this idea, arguing that, with a few local exceptions, there's no evidence yet of a new bubble forming. In fact, the consensus has been a leveling off in prices is just ahead.
But Robert Shiller, co-founder of the Case-Shiller indices, just reinflated the housing bubble debate with some comments New Year's Eve on CNBC.
The occasion was the release of the latest Case-Shiller report, which showed yet another big increase in home prices across the country, including the Boston area. In fact, prices are rising at a pace not seen since 2006, when the last bubble burst.
"In the housing market, it has its own momentum right now as people see it coming back. We're sort of in the beginnings of another housing bubble," Shiller told the business news network.
Are prices too high? Should buyers be worried? What's your take?

Hi, I'm Katena. I recently joined this site hoping to find new friends in the area and you never know, maybe something more serious. My first time on here actually. I really think people get hooked on these sites, lol. About me: I am a very adventurous individual. I see beauty for what it is. I try and date guys when I can that are adventurous, very carefree people, creative individuals. I prefer open minded, not afraid of change and who are super happy to make me happy. I love attention but I am not selfish by no means. Huge heart here. I hope to find someone that's willing to take a leap of faith, not be afraid of commitment. I love music of all kinds, art galleries, museums, beaches, mountains. Sometimes, I just pack a bag, no plan for where I am going, and just drive. Actually, I do that a lot, more than twice a month, lol. I am a very free spirited person with a huge heart. That does not mean that you can take my kindness for weakness. I try to be as open and honest as possible and expect this from everyone who encounters my circle. I prefer no drama, positive attitudes. Please I do not want to hear about the past exes or past dates that steered you wrong. Its not healthy to subject others to these things unless they absolutely want you to share these things with them. As you can see, I like to fling myself from airplanes. I understand that you may think I am crazy but my fellow divers are some of the most sane people I have ever encountered. They hold my hand when I am down and make me laugh even harder when I am happy. I hope to come across someone who is open minded to my passion for this sport. Trust me, it is not about this big adrenaline rush. It is about self confidence and discipline for me. So, hopefully it will not detour someone from wanting to meet me. I am a very loving, very caring type of person. I love hard and go the distance when I am involved in a serious relationship. LOL, I don't remember it being so difficult to date when I was 20 or 25. I suppose that is what happens when you become super picky as you get older.. I am not looking for simple. It does not exist. We make our own paths as simple as possible but sometimes, it does not always work out as planned. I do not believe in Fairy Tales either. I am a true realist. I believe in today not yesterday or tomorrow. We have been given a simple gift and that gift is short.. I waste no time on things I cannot change and pay no attention to societies way of thinking. I separate myself from those who except society as it is. I do not watch the media. I have no use for Lies and deception. Let's just say I will live a long time.... :) I just want to say one more thing. If you are currently separated, you have no business on a dating site. Any smart girl will not even think to talk with you based on your current status. At least I would never do such a thing. Separation is a time for you to collect your thoughts abut your marriage or relationship. I would never date a guy who was separated. Thats why it's called separation.. No Business dating...

I have Cats
I have one cat. Her name is Lucy and she has been my betsie for over 6 years now. I adopted her from Pet Smart when she was 4. She is very laid back, very intelligent for a cat and just like me. Independent. :)
Some other viewpoint
I am new to the Phoenix Area. I haven't found any hot spots really at this point. I love San Diego, Grand Canyons and Red Rock so far. I have been to The Sandbar a few times. It was nice. I don't go to bars or clubs often though Kona, RA, Grimaldis
I enjoy art museums. I love Armagheddon. It is my favorite movie by far. I do not watch much TV. But, did get hooked on Vampire Diaries. I love fresh Sushi and Sashimi. My fav.
I am a very dedicated, very disciplined Skydiver. It does take up a lot of my time on weekends. I am hoping that it will not interfere because it is very important to me. It is very difficult to find a guy willing to give me my free space to dive.
Parachutist, Blue Skies Magazines. My last book read was the last Twilight Novel. I don't have much time for reading even though I do enjoy it very much.

Amendments to sales deal with possible Robstown outlet mall tabled by commissioners
Dolphin Ventures asks for 8th amendment to agreement initially made in 2007 concern now $62M shopping center
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nueces County Commissioners Court tabled amendments to agreements with a company planning an outlet mall in Robstown next to the county fairgrounds.
County Judge Loyd Neal said the court had several legal questions regarding the agreements with Dolphin Ventures after an executive session Wednesday morning.
"Mr. (John) Bell, you're going to be receiving some correspondence soon, and we'll see where it goes from there," Neal told the attorney for the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corp.
Dolphin Ventures is requesting an eighth amendment to a sales agreement with the county as well as approval of an amended development plan.
After the meeting, Neal said the court is concerned about changes to the agreement after Dolphin Ventures brought in Lockhard, a real estate developer, to increase the project's credibility. The proposed agreement, Neal said, eliminates contingencies on the sale requested by the county, including the requirement that a certain amount of the retail space must be leased for the sale to be approved. The agreement required leases or letters of intent for 75 percent of the facility.
The county is protecting taxpayers, Neal said. He added the county is giving Dolphin Ventures and Lockhard a chance to change the amendment before the county takes action.
"This is not to say we are not prepared to move forward," Neal said. "If we sell the land for them to develop it, we want them to develop it.
After the development group brought in Lockhard, the company put up $5 million to market to retail tenants, Rick Carduner, a partner in Dolphin Ventures, told Commissioners Court at a previous meeting. He said the money also will be used to purchase the land from the county. In 2008, the group agreed to pay the county $2.3 million.
Lockhard is responsible for the Town Center at Creekside in New Braunfels.
Carduner said seven tenants have signed letters of intent and developers are negotiating lease terms with another 25, accounting for about 53 percent of the facility.
He emphasized the Robstown mall would happen, even after five years of delays because of a slow economy.
When Carduner approached the county in 2007, the price of the project was set at $50 million and 350,000 square feet. The cost has risen to $62 million for a 290,000 square-foot facility.
The group plans to close on the land by the end of the year and start construction in the first quarter of 2013. Carduner said the goal is to open in April 2014, in time for the summer tourist season.
