The scariest thing about yesterday's (27/5) demonstration in Ras El-Amud wasn't the violence. Don't get me wrong, the violence was terrible and frightening. Now, I was only dragged away once; there are only a few bruise marks on my skin. Some people were injured for real. And this demonstration, violent as it was against us, wasn't the most violent one we can remember.
But again, as far as I'm concerned the violence wasn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing was the hatred.
This hatred was what allowed the settler children, observing us from the lofty balcony of the settlement's luxurious, brazen compound, to constantly throw bottles and spill water on us, spitting gleefully in our direction, with the police looking the other way just like they knew it would. This hatred was what allowed the private security guards – funded by the government, so really funded by me, by all of us – to shove and kick the protesters. It was what allowed a policeman to brutally step on protesters, just like that, because he could. And it was what allowed the girl in the balcony who was watching me cry shout "Cry, cry, you deserve it. Helping the Arabs!". The hatred was what allowed the settlers who entered the compound with their car to keep driving as though there were no people around, because what do they care if they run over a few leftists.
And perhaps worse than all of this, worse than the shoving and the violence, worse than the dragging and the physical pain, worse than all of this was a short conversation I had with the Border Policewoman who was standing over me and guarding (guarding a well-fortified building while holding a gun and a nightstick, guarding it against me, a student armed with an overdeveloped sense of justice at best, and even that only arguably). A protester suddenly identified one of the Border Policeman who went to high school with him and called out to him "hey bro." The policewoman sneered at us and said "Do you really think he's your brother?" Yes, I told her. We're all brothers, we're all one people and look what's happening here. "You're not my brothers" she blurted out nonchalantly, without giving it a second thought. You're not my brothers. "And the settlers?" I asked her. "They're my blood brothers, in my veins," she answered in a sentence so simple, frightening, intimidating, clarifying the picture completely. You're not my brothers. So simple and so terrible. When did this happen? When did this division between us and them happen, among my people? Perhaps I'm just naïve, perhaps it had always been there but I just didn't know.
In the hours that have passed since yesterday all kinds of pictures have sprung to mind. Protesters being dragged across the floor, the chants we yelled, the beating of the drums. But the picture of this policewoman, apparently much smarter than me, is one I cannot get out of my head. And along with it, an ever-growing, ever-clearer feeling of shame: that I didn't know this was what my country looked like. That on a day-to-day basis people get beaten up much worse than me and don't have any options. On their way to the checkpoint and from it, in hundreds of villages not far from where I live.
I'm a lousy political activist and a lousy leftist. Years of terrorist attacks next to my house and of kids I knew from school who were injured in them had turned me into a very small believer in coexistence and in a real solution. The dread I had from each bus during my high school years, life in a town like Jerusalem where every corner is a monument to an attack I remember all too well – these had turned me into a suspicious and pessimistic person. But at least I knew who was on whose side and why, more or less.
Yesterday's events shuffled the deck as far as I'm concerned and that's a terrible feeling. I've always known that I disagree with the settlers and I've always known that it's a deep and fundamental disagreement. Yesterday I found out that this disagreement is a crack, a proper rift, and I don't know how you can heal such a thing, how you can bridge the hatred. This isn't a national or religious confrontation you can understand (perhaps feel regret or anger towards, but understand its roots nonetheless); this is a massive gap in basic human values between myself and my people, who are celebrating my sorrow. Never, not even in those moments when I felt the ideological gap the most, did I ever wish ill on any of them. During the Disengagement from Gaza I was sad for them, never gloated. Yesterday, little kids who were trained to hate (kids on my side, not on the side we enjoy blaming for their cynical use of children and an upbringing of hate) spat at me as I wept.
The only democracy in the Middle East, that's how our leaders boast. Let's see them come to East Jerusalem and say it's a democracy. Let's see them come to Ras El-Amud and Sheikh Jarrah and South Mount Hebron and boast this title, I dare them.
I've spent the last day telling some friends about what I'd seen and experienced yesterday at Ras El-Amud. They were sorry to hear, a few averted their eyes. The vast majority asked no questions, just stood there embarrassed and didn't really want to hear. I can understand them. Who wants to hear such things? Who wants to see our cops beating a protester who looked at them funny? I wouldn't want to know either and indeed I hadn't known for years. My friends also said, "Why are you going there? It's dangerous and it doesn't help anything."
Yes, it's dangerous and perhaps it doesn't have any effect on Netanyahu and his statements in Washington or Jerusalem, but these things happen all the time. The police are just one side of the story. We have an ever-growing part of our people which is acting out of violence and hatred, randomly and without taking responsibility. Hatred towards another people and hatred towards their own people. This hatred is becoming a norm and anyone who is stupid enough or foolish enough to stand up and conduct a nonviolent demonstration in the name of justice and moral virtue is deemed a madman and immediately cleared off the road, dragged away and sworn at. Heaven forbid they would disrupt the violent bandwagon as it's en route to destroying and corrupting what good patches are left here.
My friends are right. It's dangerous and you need to be careful. But doing nothing is far worse. Compliance through silence, ignoring, not knowing or looking the other way – these are all a thousand times worse than beatings and spitting.
So I'll keep coming to demonstrations and I'll keep fearing the hatred, but I won't look away from it anymore. And I will continue to be shocked by it with every fiber of my being, each and every time, because I am not willing to let hatred and violence become routine. I refuse to get used to hatred.

Awesome experience at the L1 in Oviedo, Fl at CrossFit Country. Some outstanding instructors: Chuck, Chris, Leah, and Katie. Thank you all so much for your valuable insight. I learned a lot of stuff I thought I had already known but apparently I had not. Again great group of training staff anyone would be lucky to have them attheir L1. Also, a big shout out to coach Leah and best wishes going into the Games this week!!!!
Just completed the L1 trainer course in Houston and could not say more great things about our coaching staff this weekend! Truly a fun, knowledgeable group of people who managed to make nonstop pvc work and constant constructive criticism a blast! We were sad leaving today, knowing we won't be going back tomorrow! I had such an awesome experience and learned so much...can't wait to share at my box (crossfit friendswwod)! Y'all rock! (Lil TX lingo for ya!)
Froning and Hobart completed 'Fantasy Land' in less time than it took me to complete my third attempt at 'Fran' alone. Amazing.
Was skeptical at first how much teaching could possibly be crammed into one weekend.. I am very pleased to say that the L1 in Houston did not disappoint! The staff was extremely knowledgeable, energetic and FUN. I left today feeling confident in my ability to pass this on to others. Cherie, Becky, Adrian, Dave, Rick and Dean, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! you did a fantastic job.
I met James back in 2008 at his Level 2 cert. It's been awesome to see his progress, not only as an athlete, but as a trainer. He is definitely one of my role models and I hope to be able to work along side him someday.
Great video's
Thanks HQ
Big shout out to the instructors from my L1 in Sydney. Great job guys! Awesome weekend :)

Big thanks to the Level One Staff that came out to Houston this weekend. Very knowledge and informative group of people, to which I can only hope to be the same one day. Loved how interactive they were outside of the practical and lecture! Left there feeling like I knew each one personally and could call them a colleague. Hope to see y'all around! Last but not least HUGE shoutout to the sacrifice you all made leaving your loved ones to come share your knowledge. Wishing Cherie strength and courage, I have a new hero :)

Огромное спасибо тренерам за умение подать материал просто и понятно для каждого. Всё было супер! Я в восторге! Привет из Калининграда!
Where to start!!! I took my level 1 certification class this weekend, at Crossfit Monrovia. First I want to thank Crossfit Monrovia for allowing us to have such a great weekend in the facilities. For anyone that is looking to do Crossfit in the Monrovia area check them out. Now for the L1 staff, each one of you gave us something different and everyone had their own ways on spicing up their lectures and the group work. Thank you for allowing us to pick your brains, also for sharing your guys vas knowledge. One of the L1 staff that stuck out to me was Cameron, what an awesome trainer. He really took the time to get to know people, Glad I was able to talk to him and I appreciate him going above and beyond to give me more knowledge. All the level one staff at Crossfit Monrovia was great! I'm glad that Crossfit saved my life and I'm hopeful that I can return the favor one person at a time.
Massive thank you to the L1 staff in Sydney. Had the best weekend learning from these awesome coaches not just from a coach/trainer point of view but also as an athlete, you guys rock. I can't wait to further my knowledge and experience. To all the students that participated along side myself, well done and seriously that Thruster/Burpee WOD was horribly awesome!!
Эрик, Вэсс, Джесси, Братаны!!!! Спасибо огромное за вашу 100% отдачу на cf level1!!!
я очень рад знакомству с ребятами, получил море удовольствий и знаний!
Эрик, Вэсс, Джесси!!! Братаны))))) навеки😉
Все было зачетно. Ребята большие молодцы. Спасибо Эрику, Вэсу, Джесси, Вадиму, Диме и Оксане. Было очень круто, но косяк один все же есть. Это ужасный перевод теста. Пришлой брать английский вариант и пытаться разбираться уже с ним. Но, что нам слонам, и не с таким справимся. This is Crossfit, baby!!!
Огромное спасибо Эрику, Вэссу и Джесси за замечательный семинар в Москве 19-20 июля!
Спасибо Crossfit Baza за отличное место.
БРАТАНЫ! Вы крутые!

Thank you Austin, Dave, Katie, Nadia, Emily, Tess, Nick, Cameron, Gene! I had a great time at the Monrovia L1 course. I love how CrossFit never gets easier. This course has shown me how to do the basics better and that coaching people is an entirely different beast.
Спасибо огромное Эрику, Вэссу и Джесси, которые помогли с нового угла взглянуть на казалось бы понятные вещи и почувствовать себя небольшой, но все таки частью кроссфит сообщества!
Erik, Wess, Jessie - thank you very much for this expirience! It helps me to look at basic things with "new angle" and find a lot of useful for my progression. You help us to feel how to be a part of crossfit community!
Еее! Попал на первую из фоток! Эрик, Джесси, Вэсс, братаны, спасибо, вы крутые. Спасибо всей Базе за то, что приняли так тепло, и Оле за чудесный перевод.
Jessie, if you read this message, remember you're a young Santa Claus.
Wessley, your "zhopa" and "bratan" is very good.
И вот еще что, ребят, спасибо всем за улетный воркаут в первый день. Никогда не испытывал ничего подобного.
Очень хороший семинар!!! Спасибо Эрику, Джессу, Вэссу, Вадиму и Дмитрию за максимальное погружение в кроссфит! Супер позитивно, интересно и эффективно!
Great Level 1 course at Trident CrossFit in Alexandria, VA! Great coaching staff--Denise, Mike, Donovan, Sarah, Ashley and Ian!

Amazing coaches at Houston Level 1 this weekend! An experience I will never forget.
Made up pull up/press wod

Considering no strict pull ups for a month due to elbows not so bad
Had such an inspiring time at the Level 1 in Alexandria at Trident Crossfit this weekend. Denise, Mike G, Sara, Ashley, and Donavan were more help than I could possibly write out here in the comments. Best of luck to Mike at the Games this week!
Fantástico curso level 1 no Rio de Janeiro CFP9.
Profissionais qualificados e muito competentes, pena que passa muito rápido e a quantidade de informações é grande para um final de semana apenas ! Cada vez mais apaixonado pelo CrossFit ®!
Took the level 1 course in Oviedo with Chuck, Chris, Katie, and Leah and it was absolutely amazing! I learned so much in the 2 day span it's unreal. All four coaches were so much fun they were funny, energetic, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I took away so much more from the course than I thought I would and it's all thanks to them. Definitely worth EVERY penny.!! It is truly an experience that I will never forget and I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again Chuck, Chris, Katie and Leah you guys are awesome!!!
Huge thanks to the coaches in Alexandria VA this weekend - Denise, Mike, Donavan, Sarah, Ashley, and Ian. Their energy was infectious and I learned a lot that I can't wait to put into practice. Thanks also to Lindsay and Trident CrossFit for hosting in your awesome space and good luck to Mike and his team at the Games this week!
Big shout out to Chuck, Chris, Leah and Katie for leading an awesome weekend at the Oviedo, FL L1 this weekend. You all made the 2 days fun, exciting, and most importantly, very informational. I learned a lot of new things that I will take back and use in my coaching. Also, good luck to Leah at the Games this week!
Thanks again!
Can't say enough awesome things about the outstanding instructors the L1 cert in Alexandria, VA, this weekend! Denise, Donavan, Amy, Mike, and Sarah -- thank you for your energy, expertise, and enthusiasm. The course RAWKED, as we all knew it would. And Mike -- mega "shout out" for the Games!

Chuck, Chris, Leah, and Katie were absolutely amazing instructors for my L1 in Oviedo, Florida at CrossFit Country. They presented the information in a clear, concise manner, while keeping it professional and fun! It was wonderful getting to know the instructors and the athletes. It was a great learning experience. Thank you for all your knowledge, encouragement, and help. You guys rock! Good luck at the Games, Leah!
John, Eric, Teegan, and Jen your passion is clearly your purpose. Thank you for your committment to children and CrossFit!
The L2 course at CFGC this weekend was incredible. The amount of time spend during break out sessions kept people engaged, and the feedback received was incredibly helpful. There was so much to take away from the entire weekend, and the staff really drove home the importance of getting back to the fundamentals that CrossFit was founded upon. EC, Joe, Nicole, and Gregg all did a great job and should be commended. Thank you all for a great weekend and some great information to think about and apply!
Just had the best weekend ever for my L1 Course at Crossfit Country in Oviedo, FL. I had the pleasure of meeting the most amazing coaches; Chris, Leah, Chuck and Katie were beyond awesome, and just reinforced what Crossfit is all about. I loved the atmosphere, and everyone was so amped about learning the information this weekend. It was such a fun weekend and I learned a ton! Thank you again for all of your hard work! Leah you are going to do awesome at the games!!
Love Hobart's attitude. Head is definitely in the right place.
Amazing Frantasyland video. I saw a couple of no-reps for hobart on the muscle-ups when he used the wall for a little support at the top of the rep. Incredible, nonetheless.
Fantastic weekend in Monrovia. Thanks to all.
Sara, Ian, and Lindsay of CrossFit Trident in Alexandria, VA for an amazing experience this weekend! These people are all seriously proud of what they do and their enthusiasm is contagious! I was very nervous to attend due to a labral tear in my hip, but the staff was incredibly cautious with it and ensured I was "safe" in all the movements. Also thank you to Bethanie at HQ for helping me with my military registration… wishing her and Mike great success at the Games this weekend!
Had a great experience at 810 CROSSFIT in grand blanc the coaches were all great and extremely helpful!!
Awesome weekend with awesome coaches!
Level 1 CF. Sydney.
Totally worth it!
Level 1 In Houston at Iron Oak was the best. Great staff made the weekend so much fun. They were beyond amazing at making sure everyone was learning and having a great time doing it.
They were very open to answering any and all questions we could throw at them. I could have stayed another 2 days just picking their brains about everything crossfit. They worked very well together and seemed to enjoy each other which made it more fun for us to watch them.
Great job crossfit HQ at putting this group of instructors together.
Excelente final de semana em companhia de ótimas pessoas. Muito bom mesmo. CF Posto9 Barra - Rio de Janeiro - BRAZIL

810crossfit was a welcoming home away from home. Got to meet and enjoy learning with people from ALL walks of life. The instruction was amazing, patient and fulfilling. Thank you Joe, Courtney, Doug, Andrew and Kyle.
The training at Houston this past week was truly amazing. As somewhat of a CrossFit outsider, I came in expecting to learn from some solid educators, but I was blown away by the presentation skills of the Level 1 Training team in Houston. Huge thanks to Cherie, Dave, Becky, Andrian, Rick, and Dean for making the whole learning experience a truly fun and rememberable one. You guys rock!
I took the Crossfit Level 1 this past weekend in Oviedo at Crossfit Country. Chuck, Chris, Katie and Leah were awesome. They really helped me to understand what I read in the training the guide. They were all fun, knowledgeable, encouraging and hilarious. The T-Shirt was $1000, because the information was invaluable. I think we are at 11 claps now for this awesome staff. Good Luck to you and your team Leah at the Games.
Simplesmente inesquecível o fim de semana que passamos no curso de trenadores level 1 Crossfit.. Aprendi muito...e sai mais motivada uma energia perfeita.. Parabéns pela organização...

Obrigado aos envolvidos
Took the L1 in Oviedo at CrossFit Country. Had an amazing experience, Chuck, Chris, Leah and Katie were fantastic. CrossFit Country was very accommodating and an awesome facility. Well Done!
This past weekend I attended the L1 Cert. @ Trident CrossFit in Alexandria, VA. The facility was amazing, and Lindsay was very pleasant & helpful (Again, I'm sorry about the Kill Cliff 'incident').
The trainers were fantastic! They all had great attitudes, were upbeat, and helpful. All were very observant and critical of our form, while providing helpful techniques, tips, and cues. There was a TON of info. provided, so much so that another day could easily be added to the course.
Ashley, Sarah, Mike, & Donovan were all quite helpful during each of their respective sessions I had with them. Denise is quite the M.C. too! You really have to pay attention, because when she gets revved up, her accent comes on strong!
Mike, have a great time at the games, and I wish you the best!
Everything about the Level 1 in Sydney was fabulous. Thamks

Video: Toddler attacked by grandfather's pit bull in Faulkner Co.
Video: 3-year-old attacked by pit bull; flown to ACH
FAULKNER COUNTY, Ark. (KTHV) - Faulkner County authorities said pit bull attacked a 3-year-old-boy Monday afternoon. And they said that the victim's grandfather is the dog owner.
"When they arrived on scene the dog was kind of circling the child and being aggressive, so they went ahead and put the dog down," Chief Deputy Matt Rice said.
Chief Deputy Rice said that the 3-year old boy was at his grandparents' house off Highway 365, between Mayflower and Conway. When he went out to play around 1:30 in the afternoon Monday, the pit bull somehow broke free from a chain and attacked the boy.
"Not really sure why, did pretty severe damage to his head, face and ears," Chief Deputy Rice said.
Crews flew the boy to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Despite the severity of it all, Rice believes the boy will survive.
"From what I've been told, I think he will be fine, I don't think it's going to be life-threatening," Chief Deputy Rice said.
When THV 11 visited the house early Monday afternoon, no family was around for comment on this story. We visited once more Monday evening, and again found nobody home.
Rice said the pit bull that was involved has no previous history of attacks. He said, right now, this all seems to be just an isolated accident.
"It's just a tragic deal, just a 3-year-old child playing in the yard," Chief Deputy Matt Rice said.
According to Rice, the sheriff deputies cited Ricky Jackson for an old county ordinance dealing with an animal biting a human, and it just so happens, the county is currently working on beefing up that ordinance with a stronger one for vicious dogs.
Authorities have not released the boy's name yet, and because of that, privacy issues prevent Arkansas Children's Hospital from releasing his condition to us.

Mines and Geosciences Bureau,
May 15, 2012
The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) recently released the updated list of deputized Geodetic Engineers (GEs) who are authorized to execute mineral land surveys, submit survey returns and withdraw defective survey returns in accordance with the pertinent provisions of Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2010-21 ("Providing for a Consolidated DAO for the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 7942, otherwise known as the "Philippine Mining Act of 1995").
Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 2012-02
, issued on April 30, 2012, lists 92 GEs who updated their information and profile pursuant to the Notice issued by the MGB Director last 23 June 2011. Their deputation shall expire on September 1, 2014. Said Circular also prescribes the new procedure for the filing of application for accreditation for the other GEs who failed to meet the deadline earlier prescribed by the MGB on August 31, 2011.
A licensed GE may file an application for deputation in one or more MGB Regional Office/s where the mineral land survey will be executed through the payment of required fees and submission of the requirements prescribed under said Circular.
MGB MC No. 2012-02 was published in the Manila Bulletin on May 10, 2012.

Partnership gives students a leg up
POMONA, Calif. - 06/11/2008 --
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Editorial
One major accomplishment of Pomona's Youth and Family Master Plan effort has been bringing the city's institutions together to discuss Pomona's needs and help realize its potential.
That didn't happen much before the advent of the master plan effort. That was evidenced by the fact that "community disorganization" was identified early in the master plan process as one of the major problems the city needs to deal with.
That sort of problem doesn't turn on a dime, but there's every indication that the city's major institutions are putting their heads and their efforts together to improve life for Pomona's youth.
We're particularly excited about the collaboration among Western University of Health Sciences, Cal Poly Pomona and Pomona Unified School District to help the city's schoolchildren become the health-care providers of the future. Read the full story >>

q: search find whole words only
Asked on Jan 10, 2013 - 23:43 UTC
Trying to search "Reisekostenabrechnung" by entering the term "q: Reise" will not find the word. It seems that only whole words can be found. This is annoying and creates unnecessary effort.

October 8, 2015
State lawmakers are debating a proposal to close the Hastings and Norfolk mental health regional centers.
The plan is backed by Gov. Mike Johanns as part of a mental health reform initiative to move toward more community-based care.
The cities of Norfolk and Hastings are unified against the proposal.
Numerous amendments have been filed by opponents looking to postpone the closures until at least 2007 and require the Legislature to sign off on it.
Johanns has said mental health reform is his top initiative. He has been meeting with state senators in private the past couple weeks to discuss details of the plan.

Last night's Emmys managed to give almost everything away to Homeland, as the Showtime national security drama scored wins for Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama series, and Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series. You can find our breakdown of all the major categories, sans pithy commentary, right here.
While the relatively under-the-radar show certainly deserves accolades, it was a bit of a surprise to see the freshman series bowl over the likes of it take out Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and Game of Thrones in most of the major categories. I say "most," because Aaron Paul was able to score the Best Supporting trophy.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that the Emmy board thinks that Jon Cryer is the best comedic TV actor in the world, which totally undoes all the progress we as a civilization have made since the Magna Carta.
They also thought that all four-grown up men in Modern Family were better supporting actors than Nick Offerman, who didn't even get nominated.
Aside from those two abortions, the list is pretty unobjectionable from where we sit. But still…Jon Cryer?
Consider posting a comment.

So can anyone give me advice on what I should do! Mu instructor thinks I am ready but I don't know if I am! :S
Should I just take the fight and get my first one over and done with??
Also, has anyone got any advice on the nerves side of things? Any way to hold myself together and make sure I do the best I can??
And anyone got any inspirational messages that will calm me and make me realise that I should just do it and stuff like that!
Thanks, Andy.
First of all, Andy, we all get nervous before any sort of big sporting event in our lives. Frank Mir has admitted that he throws up before every single fight to this day because of the nerves. Its normal to be nervous dude! As long as you are confident in your abilities and have put the time in, you should have no reason to not take the fight. its a good age to get in there and start fighting. You have to be aggressive and have a killer instinct type of attitude. See your opponent as someone who wants to hurt your family or along those lines and it always helps.
I was a nervous wreck before my first amateur mma fight but once we started exchanging hands and feet, the adrenaline kicked in and I fought better than ever.
Good luck! You got this!

Rochester RazorSharks owner Severko Hrywnak is suing the Rochester Knighthawks, alleging the National Lacrosse League team never repaid a $40,000 loan made during Steve Donner's ownership tenure.
The lawsuit, filed in November in state Supreme Court in Monroe County, claims Hrywnak loaned the Knighthawks the money "in or about May 2007," and that there was "an oral agreement to repay the amount with interest."
Because the matter is in the court system, Knighthawks president Lewis Staats declined comment, saying only that "I'm aware of it (the lawsuit) and we've turned it over to our ...

Will natural honey help my allergies?
Honey has been used by individuals throughout the generations to treat pollen allergies. Tolerance to pollen is believed to occur through ingesting small amounts of the allergens. This may provide some relieve to hay fever or pollen allergies through development. Honey bees are ideal pollen collectors. The number and structure of their body hairs make them highly efficient in pollen collection. Normally the pollen would be stored in individual cells of the honeycomb. However, small amounts of pollen will find its way into honey and the comb cappings. "Raw" or unprocessed honey, such as chunk or comb honey, usually contains viable pollen grains. A daily dose of this treat may provide your pet with the relief you desire. Be sure to purchase the honey from a local beekeeper. His or her honey will contain the pollen from the local flora. But, be warned, honey is also used by athletes for a quick energy boost. Don't be surprised if you pet shows a bit more vigor after eating the honey. For information on local beekeepers contact an association near you. Listing of the local associations is found on this website at

Oooh… can't wait to see your swatches!
9/26/11 12:25 courtney:
Ooooo… So want this!
9/26/11 13:41 Susan Lewis:
How pigmented are these shades? I've seen too many of Bobbi's weak powder shadows to be leery of them, especially in palettes.
9/26/11 14:11 katrosado5:
Black Ruby. Yum.
9/26/11 14:37 Barb:
Ooooo, these colors are freaking gorgeous!
9/26/11 14:58 Chelsie Matthews:
I made the mistake of buying Bobbi Brown's Sparkle Palette last year. I was so, so excited to get it because it was full of sparkly neutrals, but glitter fallout was terrible. I hope this palette is an improvement!
9/28/11 18:48 Felis:
I was just wondering about the fallout issues…

9/27/11 10:26 Maisie Lau:
Did you ask "do I love it?" Heck ya! Beg, steal or borrow, I am definitely getting this! Super gorgeous! Love love love BB's sparkle eyeshadows. They last forever, unlike other brands.
For those who have not used BB's previous sparkle eyeshadows, to make the sparkles last (forever), use a primer or concealer on your eyelid before applying the eyeshadow.

I posted this link on another forum. Might be interesting here for folk if they aren't aware of it.
It's a Radio 4 interview in September 2012 of about 3 minutes. LJ claims that she has no friends and no family will talk to her (but fails to mention the imaginary rock star boyfriend) and spent her birthday alone.
Also claims women love her becuase they can relate to her as she write about 'real things'.
She says that the main reason she married her (ex) husband was so that she could write a newspaper column about him (it's about 2 minutes in)
Astonishingly the Radio 4 interviewer doesn't challenge her on that or the other bizarre statements she comes out with, such as telling people she stole her ex husband's sperm and she only wrote about it to warn men about how manipulative 'women' can be.
Her quivery 'deaf' tv voice has gone in this interview too- it's a medical miracle!
She is a socialised psychopath- tells so many lies she actually believes most of them. When other numpties in the media don't challenge her either, that helps feels even more entitled to bullshit people.
Nasty vile woman.

High stakes and dangerous situations are no stranger to retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and best-selling author Dan Hampton. The decorated veteran shares his extraordinary experiences in his most recent book, Viper Pilot: A Memoir of Air Combat (William Morrow), as an elite Wild Weasel fighter pilot. As the first planes to fly into enemy territory, the Weasels' responsibility is to skillfully root out the enemy and then return to destroy the threats, making the air safe for fellow pilots to follow. From 1986 to 2006, Hampton flew more than 150 combat missions in the iconic fighter jet, F-16 "Fighting Falcon," or "Viper," as the pilots call it. In addition to spearheading the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Hampton also served on the Air Combat Command staff in Langley, VA, during the Kosovo conflict and designed the NATO campaign that destroyed the Yugoslav army's air defenses around Sarajevo. Now in retirement, Hampton has published articles in The Journal of Electronic Defense, Air Force Magazine, and Airpower Magazine, as well as several classified tactical works for the USAF Fighter Weapons Review. He has been a guest on FOX and Friends, spoken to audiences at the Pritzger Museum, the US Naval Academy, the US Air Force Academy, the Pentagon, the Canadian Military Academy, and colleges and schools across the country.
In addition to his literary merits, Hampton has a long list of military achievements, including four Distinguished Flying Crosses with Valor, a Purple Heart, eight Air Medals with Valor and five Meritorious Service Medals. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University, the USAF Fighter Weapons School, USN Top Gun School (TOGS), and USAF Special Operations School. Hampton occasionally does contracts for various private military companies and enjoys driving fast cars, riding horses and drinking martinis. Among other things, he's sailed and dived across the Caribbean, climbed the Pyramids and run with the bulls in Pamplona.

The quasi-experimental design is probably the most logical and practical approach for studying suicide prevention. The cohort study eliminates potential problems with attrition and missing data. Interpretations of possible confounds were conservative. The design and methods were strong enough to support results showing that the intervention decreases the relative risk of suicide.
There is limited documentation on the reliability and validity of data on cause of death. In a quasi-experimental design, researchers have limited control over potential confounds.

For more information about these criteria and the meaning of the ratings, see Readiness for Dissemination.
Implementation materials are clear and easily accessible through the program Web site. The Leader's Guide to Managing Personnel in Distress provides extensive information on behavioral signs of specific problems that may be affecting personnel, the "do's and don'ts" of early intervention, and community resources for referral. One slide presentation outlines the steps for becoming an instructor; the program's "Integrated Service Delivery" approach gives guidance to leaders on moving concerns through the chain of command, understanding policy that serves as supervisory direction, and consulting community agencies to get supervision or consultation on specific issues. Quality assurance is supported by information on the reasonable steps for demonstrating proficiency as an instructor.
Most of the implementation materials provided discuss the program and the need; very little focus is placed on how implementers can make use of this intervention. No information is provided on how instructors or coaches/supervisors are selected, trained, and coached to become effective trainers and coaches for new instructors. No information is presented about how outcome data is collected to measure the impact of briefings and early interventions. No clear process is described for ensuring implementation fidelity.
The cost information below was provided by the developer. Although this cost information
may have been updated by the developer since the time of review, it may not reflect
the current costs or availability of items (including newly developed or discontinued

discuss implementation requirements.
The Air Force employs one full-time suicide prevention program manager for a population of roughly 330,000 Airmen. At each of 81 installations, an individual is assigned oversight of the base suicide prevention program as part of his or her duties (per base, an estimated 100 hours per year). Leadership time is spent at all levels of command reviewing data, policy, and programs related to suicide prevention. Lastly, every employee participates in 15 minutes of suicide prevention education every year, representing another important cost.
No replications were identified by the developer.

An unauthorized release of more than 250,000 U.S. State Department cables from American Embassies around the world has created intense diplomatic, national security and journalistic fallout. Government memos recently were given to five major publications in New York, London, Paris, Madrid and Hamburg, Germany, by an online organization called WikiLeaks. The four-year-old group also has posted many on its website since Nov. 28. The renegade, nonprofit group says it discloses secret documents to reveal and deter "unethical behavior" by governments and corporations.
The White House, Congress members and others sharply criticize the release as illegal, reckless and even an act of treason (betraying one's country). Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who condemned the security breach as an attack on U.S. foreign policy interests and the international community, vowed aggressive steps to prosecute those who stole "information that was intended to be confidential." A media critic, Max Boot of Commentary magazine, blogged that editors who run leaked cables "have no respect for the secrecy that must accompany successful diplomacy. . . .The conduct of all concerned is reprehensible and beneath contempt."For its part, the Society of Professional Journalists -- which represents U.S. editors and reporters -- believes "responsible, ethical journalism prevailed" because The New York Times and foreign publications getting an advance look worked to "verify the information, act responsibly, minimize harm by redacting certain information, and inform the affected parties of the impending publication."
WikiLeaks last July posted tens of thousands of classified Pentagon field reports about the Afghan war. Earlier it exposed internal memos about toxins dumped off Africa's coast, the membership rolls of a racist British party and the U.S. military manual for its prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The shadowy group -- led by 39-year-old Australian journalist Julian Assange, financed by private supporters and staffed by volunteers -- says it uses computer servers in several European countries -- including Sweden and Belgium, where laws provide more protection for its disclosures. "We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies," its website says. "All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information."
Law professor says: "The result will be less interesting stuff on paper for the record, more stuff over the phone or scattered in the diplomatic equivalent of tweets. Diplomatic historians . . . may have a lot less to work with in the future." -- Peter Spiro, Temple University (Philadelphia)
Critic says: "There was a time when editors and reporters thought of themselves as citizens first and journalists second. . . . We now seem to have reached a moment when the West's major news organizations, working hand in glove with a sleazy website, feel free to throw spitballs at those who make policy and those who execute it. This is journalism as pure vandalism." -- Max Boot, blogging at commentarymagazine.com
Journalism group says: "There is no indication that the news organizations that received early access to the cables acted unethically." -- Society for Professional Journalists statement Dec. 3

SEP 12.1.2 for Mac Installation
I work for a school district supporting a number of schools. Recently we updated to SEP 12.1.2 and one of our system engineers provided an installer package we could use (via ARD or direct install, etc.) Or possibly even an Altiris policy, we'll see.
My question is that the 12.1.2 Mac package he provided to us was odd...unlike any Mac .pkg installer I've ever seen. Here's the directory of files:
Comments 21 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Bryan,
Thanks for the question. Yes, the installer for SEP for Mac changed in 12.1 RU2. This is for compatability with new security architecture in MAC OS X 10.8.2. Apple has introduced a gatekeeper which ensures that all software getting installed is signed, similar to putting software onto an iPad or iPod I believe.
OS X: About Gatekeeper
This new approach has necessitated some changes to the way SEP is structured. There is no longer a metapackage (.mpkg file), but a flat installer package (.pkg file) which is signed with a new Apple-issued certificate.
The general install should occur just like in previous releases of SEP. Download (or push) the .zip file which contains the Symantec Endpoint Protection.pkg and the Additional Resources folder. Then just double click to unzip the downloaded archive file .pkg file. It will automatically use what is needed from that new folder.
Hope this helps - please keep this thraed up to date with news of how you get on!
With thanks and best regards,
Just installed 12.1 RU2 here on my OS X 10.8.2 machine. I can confirm it goes on exactly as described above.
Two extra notes: there's a requirement to log out and then back in afterwards, and SEP for Mac will need to run LiveUpdate right after install to get itself back up to date.
Cheers again, Bryan!
With thanks and best regards,
Thanks, yeah, I've been able to copy the .pkg and Additional Resources file to multiple computers via ARD and then install via
As a fellow mac admin, I feel your pain. This new flat package format is difficult to work with, no question. For example, I used to follow this procedure to slipstream virus defs into the SEP installer pkg:
However, this appears to be impossible as of 12.1.2. I am experimenting with a method of replacing the contents of the SEPDEFS.zip file (in the "Additional Resources" folder) with the guts of the latest virus defs pkg. This seems to work, but is very clunky (and undocumented).
It would be fantastic if Symantec were to update the instructions for slipstreaming virus defs into the installer pkg in 12.1.2. Until then, we are stuck with the immediate forced liveupdate run, which does not work well for our unattended/lab machines. I suppose that I could try to script a liveupdate run as a part of the install, but again you see the complexity that we are now forced to deal with.
Mick, your thoughts?
Andrew Cunningham
Hi all,
Cheers for the forum posts. The following KB has now been updated from SEP for Mac RU2 and above:
How to slipstream newer virus definitions into the Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh installer package
Hope this helps! &: )
With thanks and best regards,
Hi Mick,
With all due respect, this thread is hardly "solved".
I'm glad that they addressed the issue of slipstreaming newer virus definitions issue and updated the KB article (TECH144098). Kudos and yay.
I'm also glad that Bryan was able to find a workaround for deploying clients without the native ARD package push option. However, that's only a workaround and breaks one of the features of previous installers (deployment through native tools)
And as annoying as both of those issues are, there's a much bigger issue plagueing this new distribution model; particularly for those of us that have to distribute the actual installers to our end-users.
The big issue that is preventing us from distributing this package is that the "pkg" file can be easily re-distributed without the "Additional Resources" folder. The reason this is a major issue is that the "Additional Resources" folder contains, not only the virus defintions, but the client management information as well; without it, the installer defaults to a non-managed state and requires a 300+MB post-install download of virus definitions.
Let me repeat, the PKG flat file WITHOUT the "Additional Resources" folder is an easily distributable NON-MANAGED client installer. Granted, this was also possible for the more tech-savvy end-users to accomplish using the old mpkg bundle, but one had to at least know the backend workings of OSX installers. But this new bundle makes it easy to, intentionally or unknowingly, distribute a vanilla SEP client that doesn't report back into the enterprise nor follow any pre-set policies.
On behalf of Mac Admins supporting SEP infrastructures in an enterprise environment, the two major issues that need to be addressed before I would consider this issue "solved" are:
1. installers for managed clients should stay managed client installers when transported from machine to machine
2. the installer bundle should be deployable through native desktop administration tools (i.e. package push via ARD).
Both of those issues have been relayed to our SE and Account Rep. If the above is also a concern for any other Mac Admins, I would encourage you to speak to your Account Reps also.
Let me add that, though I find code-signing installer to be a great effort, it is neither fully necessary at this time nor consistently applied across the product. Case in point, the Windows installer isn't signed (which is why users get an annoying UAC warning when trying to install SEP for Windows). I'd settle for the same annoying warning for my end-users on Mountain Lion, than lose two bonus features already afforded to us in previous SEP for Mac versions (namely, native deployment options and "locking" the managed-vs-unmanaged option).
I could be wrong on the code-signed installer not being fully necessary, but since the SEP for Mac 12.1.1 un-signed installer works just fine on Mountain Lion, I'm guessing its not fully necessary. I'm going to try ripping apart the code-signed pkg file and re-create a non-signed mpkg bundle. If anyone has successfully done that, I'd love to hear your results.
Also, there is a third bonus "feature" that is gone and overlooked with this new model: double-click to begin installation.
End-user instructions using the old installer bundles:
1. download installer (note: the OS should automatically unzip and mount the dmg and launch the mpkg installer)
1a. if using another browser besides Safari, double-click on the downloaded zip file
2. follow the installer wizard
3. Log out and log back in
New end-user instructions:
1. download installer
2. find and double-click the zip file to uncompress the installer
3. find the folder that uncompressed
4. Verify that there is a pkg file and an "Additional Resources" folder
5. double-click the pkg file
6. follow the installer wizard
7. log out and log back in
8. delete the the folder from step 3.
Those are my thoughts regarding the installer. The client itself, I have mostly positive thoughts on, but the installer is quite janky (to use a technical term)
Hello vickg,
First of all, thank you for your candid feedback.
To address your first comment about msi files, the Windows installer is different than the Mac installer. For Windows we sign the msi files just like we do for Mac. In Windows if UAC is turned on then UAC will prompt anytime an application tries to change a system setting regardless of whether it is signed or not.
For Mac if an installer is not signed then Mac will prompt before installing. This prompt for Mac is different than the UAC Windows prompt because it is telling the user that this product is not trusted and may not be a good/valid product, whereas the UAC message is just asking the user if he wants to allow this program to make system changes. In both cases the installer is signed.
Apple is working to get companies to sign their own packages to help differentiate between good packages (signed packages) and bad packages (unsigned packages). This is required in Mac 10.8 Mountain Lion to avoid getting the Gatekeeper alert. Based on this, files that change (such as the sylink.xml file) need to be placed outside the pkg file. A user could still run or install an unsigned package but then there would be no way to distinguish between a package that is bad verses a package that is good. In addition this would be going contrary to what Apple is recommending that vendors do. Here are comments directly from the Apple web page:
"For apps that are downloaded from places other than the Mac App Store, developers can get a unique Developer ID from Apple and use it to digitally sign their apps. The Developer ID allows Gatekeeper to block apps created by malware developers and verify that apps haven't been tampered with since they were signed. If an app was developed by an unknown developer—one with no Developer ID—or tampered with, Gatekeeper can block the app from being installed."
Currently in SEP 12.1.2 we wrap both the pgk file and the other files that change into a single zip file to make it easier to distribute. One idea we had was to use a different file format other than a zip file to distribute the packages. We cannot use a pkg file for this since we need to sign the pkg file and once it is signed we cannot make changes to it. However, if we used a dmg file rather than a zip file for this would it make the process easier for you?
Coming from our situation, a DMG file seems irrelevant. With the debut of Gatekeeper, I think you folks need to rethink how you get your product loaded onto a Macintosh computer.
My advice would be to formally test the idea I posted below from experience in our locationand include a formal write-up of the process. Your zip file would have the signed, standalone PKG installer and your "Additional Resources" folder would contain "a documented process for admins to add a single file (or two if you need to have one more for whatever reason) using Apple Remote Desktop (or similar product) to the client machine that makes the installation managed." I could even tell you how I was able to get the sylink.xml file repackaged into a signed PKG installer using my personal installer developer key.
Right now I have developed such a workflow organically for our institution, but I feel that Symantec needs to get reviewer on it. Hopefully, it is acceptable and close to supported.
Now, in closing here's the acid test that I can recommend for an enterprise deployment friendly installer. You ask yourself this question:
Does our product have a easy and documented method that admins can use with Apple Remote Desktop (or similar deployment tools on the Mac side) to mass push your fully-managed product out to lots of clients at one time with maybe only a single reboot or logout? If you can answer 'yes' confidently to that question, then you should be set. If the answer is 'no', then I feel you folks need to honestly try harder to make your Mac product more enterprise deployment friendly.
If you are looking for help on the developer side, consider posting to the MacEnterprise mailing list or AFP548. These folks deploy and write installers for products daily. I can also recommend another mailing list called JamfNation (http://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com). Most people on these forums are enterprise deployment experts on the Mac side.
Kind regards and hope to get some feedback

Had some problems with the forum so this may be a repost:
Step 1: Get Java 6 out to your workstations. In Mac OS X 10.8, it is not installed by default and will need to be if LiveUpdate is to work. That should be easy, deploy with ARD or use whatever mechanisms you normally would.
Step 2: Run the uninstaller script from this Symantec article on your machines. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH103489
Could be done with ARD or in my case I use an managed client solution such as Jamf Casper, Absolute Manage or FileWave. I could also see this script being used as a properly developed self-destructing login hook in Workgroup Manager or locally based. If using ARD, make sure you use the second script on the page that works with tools such as ARD.
Step 3: Use Apple's PackageMaker or Jamf Composer to build a new package. You are going to take the sylink.xml file located in the Additional Resources folder and package it up and set proper permissions on it. Installing this by hand I have found that Symantec put this file on with root:staff ownership and seems to assign it 666 permissions.
Basically you need to get this sylink.xml file to /Library/Application Support/Symantec/SMC as per Symantec article http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH131585 which talks about converting an unmanaged Symantec Mac client to a supported managed Symantec client. Optionally, a customer could use his or her Apple Developer account certificate to digitally sign the package if you are in a Gatekeeper secured environment. ARD could also be used if you simply wish to just push out the sylink.xml file without fancy repackaging.
Step 4: Install the PKG WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOLDER like you would any other package using ARD or a managed client solution. When you install this package without the Additional Resources folder, it is the equivalent of installing Symantec Endpoint Protection to your Mac clients in unmanaged mode. That plus the sylink.xml file in Step 3 should equal a managed installation.
Step 5: reboot the workstations you sent these packages out to.
Step 6: after the reboot, use the SEPM console to require a LiveUpdate or in the case of my devices, they checked for a LiveUpdate on first login anyway.
I am disappointed at Symantec for this terrible installer, but think I have found a way to mitigate it that seems to work in our environment. For those with Jamf Software's Casper, I can provide directions to turn all of this into a simple policy.
<note: I updated this post to reflect a reality I discovered after mass deploying to a small group of machines. For whatever reason, if you don't get the sylink.xml file out first before pushing the main package, some machines seem to have trouble checking in with the SEPM server. Don't really know why...have filed a case with Symantec for clarification on the issue.>

Hi Pandher,
Hi my question will be a bit different but can i get MAC sep clients to take updates from our windows sepm server. we are now 12.1.2 latest version.
SEP for Mac clients must still download their content from the Internet or from an internal LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x server. They cannot update from the SEPM.
With thanks and best regards,
Yes. SEP 12.1.4 has a new package format for the Mac client. When you export the package out of SEPM it will be in .app format. Then when you run the .app file on a Mac system it has an option to export into a single .pkg file. You can use the .pkg file to deploy the package from virtually any Mac remote deployment software, such as Apple Remote Desktop or Casper.
Excellent news!
Here's more on what's new for Macs:

Rowdy Cuban restaurant at Dubai Marine Beach Club 11 Reviews
- Picture 1 of 2
From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2011
Newcomers to Dubai will find Malecon a refreshing change from the overly-opulent norm, with its copious images of Che Guevara, Cuban cigars and vintage posters. Those who've been here a while will know it for its extreme air-conditioning, poor acoustics and extortionate meal prices. However, following a recent visit, we found some impressive renovations (the big bar has been shifted to the side of the room, leaving more space at the centre) that seem to have made a difference on the general, dare we say it, feng shui of the place. As an in-house band plays alongside you, take a seat in the allocated 'restaurant area' of the bar and dig into the gigantic steaks, fresh fish dishes (we particularly liked the hammour wrapped in banana leaf) as well as tacos and soups. While we still think we'd prefer to come here for a drink and a skit of salsa, dining here is becoming an increasingly inviting option.

The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation (NCDOT) has set Sept. 30 as the new target date for completing the Oak Island Bridge project in Brunswick County, N.C. Part of a new 4.5-mile link to connect Oak Island with the mainland south of Wilmington, the troubled $36.5-million project has twice experienced lengthy delays since work began in August 2007. Construction was halted for six months after a 121-ton concrete girder fell 40 feet from a temporary support brace in December 2008, killing one worker and injuring two others. Prime contractor Barnhill Contracting Co., Tarboro, N.C., and bridge erection subcontractor Lee Construction Co. of the Carolinas Inc., Pineville, N.C., were subsequently fined for violations of the state's Occupational Safety and Health Act. The discovery of cold joints in the structure's post-tensioned precast girders in June 2009 forced a second four-month delay, as Barnhill and NCDOT investigated processes used by the components' fabricator, Standard Concrete Products, Savannah, Ga. The company ultimately produced replacement girders that met with state approval. The final structure will consist of 160-ft-long modified bulb-tees erected as three-span continuous units.

Neighborhood Plans
The outcome of the neighborhood outreach effort will be a Neighborhood Plan. The plan will outline the neighborhood's:
- vision and goals
- existing conditions
- demographics
- challenges
- assets
- opportunities and
- recommended improvements.
Improvements may include:
- land use
- transportation and circulation
- parks and open space
- accessibility
- community design and safety
- environmental factors
- infrastructure
- economic development
- new programs, and
- development.
The main component of the plan is the list of improvement actions or the "how to" steps to achieve the goals. This may include:
- time frames
- potential partners
- responsible parties
- potential and available funding sources, and
- performance measures for evaluating progress.
The goals and actions will be in priority order.
University Neighborhood Renaissance Committee
The City of Stockton's Neighborhood Renaissance Program (NRP) is alive in the University Neighborhood Renaissance Committee (UNRC). The UNRC is a citizen-lead committee that will continue to partner with the City for improved service delivery and implementation of the Plan. This Committee recently completed their Neighborhood Improvement Plan. The plan is the culmination of months of hardwork and examination of the University Neighborhood.
Although there is no funding at this time to continue the Neighborhood Plan process in other Stockton Neighborhoods, City employees will stay involved in the University Neighborhood and are working on projects within the Airport and Kentfield areas. Neighborhoods are encouraged to form Action Committees of their own and City departments will support such efforts.
The ultimate goal is to produce plans in each of the six service districts and not focus on just one area of Stockton. The pace at which neighborhood work will progress is dependent on the resources that City Departments commit to the program. Depending on available resources, neighborhood participation and funding, plan implementation will be ongoing. A continuous cycle of plan development and implementation will take place as each neighborhood becomes engaged.
