The new Tiyelet (pathway)
Located in the southeastern part of Jerusalem you will find the new Tiyelet (a pathway) and it has some perfect views of both old and new Jerusalem as you can see from the photo, sorry it was a rather cloudy day. Also you will see there a mosaic that represents the ancient water or aqueduct system that was in use in ancient Jerusalem. You can trace the water from its origins to the final destination in Jerusalem, quite cool.Related to:

German Settlement in Jerusalem
In this neighbourhood of Jerusalem called Moshava HaGermanit, or the German Settlement, you will still find some remnants of the old settlement (well NEW from the standpoint of the age of Jerusalem itself, but new for the modern era) established by German immigrants. We found this fantastic old wooden home which still showed signs of being lived in. The other photos show some of the details that were put into homes, not the huge blank walls you so often see today. So if you get the opportunity and have a little free time in Jerusalem, try wandering the streets of this area for a few hours.Related to:

Visit the Knesset
The Knesset sits on a hilltop in western Jerusalem; it was buildt in the years between 1958 and -66, dedicated and financed by James A. de Rothschild as a gift to the State of Israel.
As the legislative branch of the Israeli government, the Knesset enacts laws, elects the prime minister (although he is ceremonially appointed by the President), supervises the work of the government, reserves the power to remove the President of the State and the State Comptroller from office and to dissolve itself and call new election
Every 4 years (or less if early elections are held, as is often the case), 120 members of the Knesset (MK) are elected by Israeli citizens who must be at least 18 years old to vote. The Government of Israel must be approved by a majority vote of the Knesset.
The Knesset has de jure parliamentary supremacy and can pass any laws by a simple majority, even those that conflict with the Basic Laws of Israel, as it is also a Constituent Assembly.
Yet since the Constituent Assembly and the first Knesset were unable to put a constitution together, the Knesset started to legislate basic laws on various subjects. Up until now,Israel does not have a written constitution. There is a strong opinion since the time of David Ben Gurion, that the state does not have the right to adopt a constitution that will bind the millions of jewish people, who are still abroad and not yet in their homeland, Israel.
Knesset Session (and visiting-) Times:
Monday - 16:00
Tuesday - 16:00
Wednesday - 11:00
One is not permitted to enter the Knesset wearing tank-tops, shorts, or jeans. "Crocs" shoes are not permitted unless they are black or navy. Men may not enter wearing sandals, and women are not permitted to enter wearing belly-shirts.Related to:

On the Roofs of the Old City
A small staircase directly on Habbad St. in the Old City, just off the main market street, led us to the roof of the building. Many buildings in the Old City are joined up, so that we could walk on the roofs and get an unusual view of the Moslem, Christian, Jewish and Armenian quarters.
It was a strange feeling, to be only a minute away from the noisy and bustling market, actually on top of it, and still enjoy a very different, quiet atmosphere, viewing the major landmarks of Jerusalem from the rooftops. We saw the Dome of the Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Omar mosque, the Lutheran church, the Latin Patriarchate... We also had a glimpse into private yards and residences, usually hidden from the public eye and tourist cameras.Related to:

Day trips to Bethlehem
If you are Christian, Bethlehem is an essential stop on any pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Around 2 B.C., Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to take part in the Roman census. It required everyone to register in the city where their family originated from. (Joseph's family, which descended from King David, was from Bethlehem.) Unfortunately, they could not delay this journey despite the fact that Mary was pregnant.
Since there were no rooms availabe, the couple was forced to stay in a manger where sheep were kept during the winter. Many people make the mistake of assuming that this was wooden structure like a modern horse stable. It was actually a cave, either naturally forming or carved out from the mountain.
This site is positioned inside the Church of the Nativity. Visitors walk down a few steps to the church's grotto, with a silver star marking the exact spot where Jesus is believe to have been born. Just outside of the church is a memorial to the children who were massacred by Herod following the news of Jeus' birth. Herod, the Jewish king, feared that Jesus posed a threat to his throne. To retain power, Herod ordered all the children in Bethlehem within a certain age to be slaughtered. The bones of some of these victims are on display here.
For details on getting to Bethlehem, view my transportation tip.
Day trip to Masada
There are not many archeological sites which stir emotions--positive and negative--like Masada. This mountain fortress was built in the second century B.C. and became the last refuge of a groups of Jews in A.D. 66-74 who rebelled against the Romans. Instead of surrending, which would have meant death or slavery, the Jews decided to commit mass suicide.
Masada has become a rallying cry ("Masada shall never fall again") for the modern nation of Israel. Critics of Israel argue that it is a symbol of Jewish aggression. Visitors can take a cable car to the top and enjoy amazing views of the region, including the Dead Sea. You can see the shell of the Roman emcampment and the ramp which allowed them to lay seige to the fortress.
It takes two hours to get to Masada from Jerusalem. Most buses headed for the Dead Sea resorts or Eilat stop at Masada. Make sure your departure is cafefully planned. There is not much life surrounding the area, so you don't want to be stuck there when it gets dark.
Paper Poppies on Mount Scopus
I am not British or Australian, and I lost no one in the battle for Palestine in 1917, but I have a connection to the British war cemetery on Mt. Scopus that goes back quite a few decades. A historical connection, almost.
When I lived in the university dorms on Mt. Scopus in the early 1970s, the main campus was on the other side of town. The sprawling complex of buildings that covers Mt. Scopus was not built yet, and there were no cafeterias or shops. What we did have was a muddy hill with a few old buildings – and a Commonwealth military cemetery. I have memories of my roommate and I trudging across the cemetery in the rain and snow to buy food at the little Arab grocery on the other side.
After all these years, Mt. Scopus is a different place. It is teeming with Hebrew University students and visitors to Hadassah Hospital, which reopened after the 6-Day War. Monumental buildings have gone up and new roads have been built. In the midst of all the tumult, the Jerusalem War Cemetery, the burial ground of Commonwealth soldiers who died in World War I, remains an island of tranquility.
I paid a visit recently, after not setting foot there in 30-odd years. In the cemetery are 2,600 carefully tended graves in long, straight rows. Simple white headstones bear the soldier's name, rank and date of death. A few have a personal message inscribed at the bottom. The family of Lt. H. T. Broderick of London, killed in December 1917, wrote: "Faithful loving son, Duty nobly done." Most of them bear a cross.
Wandering through the cemetery, I met Muhammad the gardener (one of three, all of them named Muhammad). He has been working here for 36 years and knows the place like the back of his hand.
I had already discovered the graves of a few Jewish soldiers, marked by a Star of David. Muhammad pointed out the grave of the only woman buried here: a nurse named Charlotte Berrie, who died in January 1919 at the age of 32. At the foot of her grave lay 3 paper poppies, their bright red faded to pink in the strong Jerusalem sun.Related to:

Kidron Valley
Outside the city walls is a small valley with a number of monuments and tombs dating from the 2nd Century BCE to the 1st Century AD. These include the Tomb of Zecariah, Tomb of Absalom and the Tomb of the Sons of Hezir. All 3 can be seen on a short hike skirting the city walls.
The structure in the picture is the Tomb of Zecariah and is actually a monument. The pillared structure to the left is the Tomb of the Sons of Hezir. The Tomb of Absalam, sometimes called Absaloms Pillar, is to the right and is not visible in the photo.

A Tree Grows in Jerusalem
In the heart of Jerusalem sits the Monastery of the Cross, a 7th century Greek Orthodox church that could be mistaken for an ancient fortress (although the dome topped with a cross is probably a give-away).
Located in a valley between Rehavia and Nayot, it is built on the site of the tree that provided the wood for the cross on which Jesus was crucified, marked by a gold-encircled hole in the floor. In fact, the whole valley is full of old, gnarled olive trees, which can live for thousands of years.
This is not one of those mobbed Christian holy sites. It is in an out-of-way, secluded place, although it is visible from the busy highway that runs just above it. Only a few monks live there today. The mosaic floor dates back to the 7th century, and the walls are covered with frescoes claimed to be over 1,000 years old.
In the 12th century, the Georgian national poet, Shota Rostaveli, author of the epic poem "The Knight in the Panther's Skin," lived here. There is a portrait of the white-bearded Rostaveli on one of the walls (now covered with a plate of glass). This is the portrait that almost sparked an international incident in July 2004, when the president of Georgia came to visit. While sprucing up the church in honor of this visit, someone apparently repainted the beard and made a mess of it. A huge fight broke out, with some of the monks and Georgian delegates physically assaulting one another.
According to Christian tradition, Abraham the Patriarch asked Lot to plant the staffs left by the three visiting angels (Genesis 18:1-2) in this spot. He was told to sprinkle them with water from the Jordan to atone for his sins. The three shoots then grew into a single tree. Passed over by Solomon when he built the Temple, the wood was eventually used for the cross. This story is illustrated in the panels lining the dark chapel with the hole in the floor.
Hours: 8:30 am - 4 p.m.; Sun. until 6 p.m. Admission: NIS 15

Jerusalem's Other Windmill
This is not the famous Montefiore windmill in the Yemin Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem, but a windmill on Ramban Street in Rehavia that most people don't know about. I happen to know it very well because my mother-in-law lives right across the street.
The Takhanah (the Mill), as it is called today, was built by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in the late 19th century. What it was actually used for is a good question - presumably it was a flour mill. In the 1930s, a famous German Jewish architect by the name of Mendelsohn lived there.
In the 1950s, appropriately enough, it was the residence of the Dutch consul. As a boy, my husband played there with the consul's children.
After many years of sitting empty, the windmill was renovated and a small shopping arcade was built around it. Today, it houses a restaurant, some trendy women's clothing shops, an optical center and I'm not sure what else. Next time I visit my mother-in-law, I'll check it out.
Update: March 2006
The current restaurant (they keep changing for some reason) is Sheyan, a kosher Asian Chinese restaurant that looks quite attractive. One of these days I'll have to eat there and write a review.Related to:

Purple for Wisdom
The streets off Jaffa Road in downtown Jerusalem are a world of their own. Just past Zion Square is a small street called Rehov Harav Kook, named for Rabbi Kook, Israel's first chief rabbi, who was greatly revered for his "modern" approach to Israel and Zionism. On one side of the street stands a handsome stone building with carved wooden doors and balconies of intricate black grillwork that housed the Italian Consulate in the late 19th century.
This building has had a colorful history in itself. Over the years it changed hands, serving as the Lebanon Hotel, the offices of The Jerusalem Post, and the home of a famous local design and crafts shop called Maskit. I vividly remember the fashion shows held here in the 1970s. Now it is the Franciscan House, where Catholic mass is held in Hebrew.
Directly across the street is a little alleyway with signs pointing you to Beit Ticho, the home of a famous eye doctor and his artist wife, Anna - today a museum and garden cafe. In a stone courtyard off this narrow lane is the home and studio of Moshe Zvi Berger, an artist from Transylvania who paints what he describes as "modern religious pictures." They even have the "kosher stamp" of a rabbi (he will gladly show you Rabbi Mayer Yehuda Getz's endorsement if you have any doubt).
Berger lives in one room, puttering around and listening to classical music. When visitors come, he escorts them into his "Museum of Psalms," a set of rooms with vaulted ceilings where his brightly colored acrylic illustrations of the Psalms cover the walls. He sells prints of these paintings for NIS 95 apiece, with explanations on the back. Every color has mystical significance. Purple, he told me, is the color of wisdom. Red is courage, and light blue - mercy and compassion.Related to:

St. Simon Says
SAN SIMON MONASTERY, Katamon
It is hard to imagine, but this little Greek Orthodox monastery, with its silver dome, bell tower and stone fence, sitting so peacefully in the middle of a grassy park, was once the scene of a bloody battle.
In April 1948, during Israel"s War of Independence, the Palmach fought the Arab Legion for control of Katamon (Greek for "near the monastery"). It was on a hill overlooking Jewish neighborhoods, and gaining control of it was a vital military objective.
The most fortified building in the area was the church, built in 1859 over the tomb of St. Simon of Jerusalem (the fellow in the New Testament who cradled baby Jesus in his arms and prophesied that he would go on to great things...).
The Arabs were driven out and the church was taken over by Israeli troops. One of the Israelis remembers the clanging of the bells in the bell tower and the sound of smashing glass as bullets whizzed through the windows, shattering window panes and hanging lamps.
Of the 120 Israelis who took part in battle, 40 died and 60 were wounded. The injured lay on the floor of the besieged church and the situation seemed hopeless. In desperation, the remaining fighters considered the "Masada option" - blowing up the building and committing mass suicide rather than dying at the hands of the Arabs. The commanding officer, Yitzhak Rabin (who went on to become an Israeli prime minister) would not hear of it. The battle resumed with renewed vigor and the tides turned. The commander of the Arab forces, seeing defeat before his eyes, got into his jeep and sped off.
I visited San Simon in April, 57 years after that terrible campaign. The gate of the monastery, usually locked, was wide open. I walked in. In the dim light of the church, I made out a group of Christian pilgrims gathered around a table-like structure in the corner, covered by a slab of marble. The pilgrims took turns laying their heads on the marble. If you listen carefully, they said, you can hear the beating of St. Simon's heart.

The House of the Dead Groom
If you keep your eyes open as you walk down Jaffa Road - Rehov Yafo - Jerusalem's "Main Street," you will come across buildings with strange histories. Tucked between the dollar stores, clothing shops and kiosks, hidden behind a high wall and an iron gate, is a beautiful old Arab mansion embellished with stone carvings.
Today it belongs to the Ministry of Health. Air-conditioners are mounted on the windows and black electric wiring is strung in crazy loops across the yard. For many years it was the laboratory of the District Health Office. This laboratory was run by Prof. Werner Zilberstein, a German Jewish physician who was a close friend of my husband's family for many years. Uncle Werner, as he was known, a charming and erudite man, lived alone in his elegant Jerusalem apartment, attending classical music concerts and entertaining friends (he even had a girlfriend - my mother-in-law) until way past 100. He died at the age of 102.
Ask the Russian security guard at the gate about the history of this building, where travelers headed for exotic destinations used to come for their shots (faded notices hanging on the iron gates attest to that). He will stare at you blankly. Even the taxi drivers who pass by every day are oblivious to the building's creepy past. But the old-timers know.
In the 19th century, the house belonged to a wealthy Arab family whose son died on his wedding day. But they didn't let that spoil the party. They dressed him in his suit, sat him on a chair - and went ahead with the wedding as planned.
Since then, Jerusalemites have called it the House of the Dead Groom.Related to:

Abu Ghaush
About 20 km west of the Jerusalem, on the way to Tel-Aviv, you will find the Arabic village of Abu Ghaush. This is a popular place and finding a seat in a restaurant here on a Saturday is not easy... The village is full with restaurants serving Arabic food and has two charming churches with beautiful gardens.

Alshon Jeffery could very well be the key on offense for the Chicago Bears. The second year wide receiver is expected to line up opposite Brandon Marshall and take the next step in his progression as a No. 2 receiver. Camp Trestman ended with Jeffery earning praise from Marshall, as well as first year head coach Marc Trestman. Jeffery also arrived to camp in great shape after dealing with multiple injuries in his 2012 rookie campaign. If those injury issues fall by the wayside, Chicago could become an offensive threat through the air. The 6'3" wideout spent the offseason training with Marshall and has shown the ability to open up the field. Chicago drafted him in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft with the hope that he could make the Bears a threat on both sides of the hashes. If Alshon Jeffery takes his game to the next level, Chicago will have three legitimate receiving weapons to complement Matt Forte, their dual-threat running back.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It was, nominally, a rematch of last year's two World Series teams. But even allowing for the three-hour bus ride that the defending N.L. champs made, there were a lot of faces missing from last October's Red Sox-Cardinals matchup.
The Cards, who tied the Sox for the most number of wins last season, will start new players at third base, shortstop, second base, center field and right field compared to their World Series lineup. The Red Sox will have a competely different look up the middle, with new starters at shortstop, catcher and center field.
That's not unsual, of course. In fact, roster churn is a given, even for the best teams.
"After the season is over,'' said John Farrell, "despite how far deep you go into the postseason, there's still objectivity that's given to reviewing the roster. There might be examples out there that, after you win, you're so attached to players who won for you that they're given a 'reward,' so to speak. I think, in our case, it's [general manager Ben Cherington's] view of the roster and how do we improve upon it? Not standing pat.
"[The Red Sox and Cardinals] are two examples of it. There's the view of, 'Okay, we've done what we can to win today, but how do we prolong that? How do we put ourselves in the best position to win going forward?' As we're seeing, that requires changes to the roster.''
The Sox have replaced Jarrod Saltalamacchia with A.J. Pierzynski. At short, the Sox have opted to go with Xander Bogaerts over Stephen Drew, who remains a free agent. And either Jackie Bradley Jr. or Grady Sizemore -- or some combination therein -- will play center with Jacoby Ellsbury having departed for New York.
The Cardinals have undergone wholesale changes to their everyday lineup. It's likely that on Opening Day, the Cards will have just three positions -- catcher, left field and starting pitcher -- the same as they were Opening Day of 2013.
(Elsewhere, the Sox are remarkably familiar, particularly with their pitching staff, where nine of the 10 pitchers who threw the most innings in 2013 returning for 2014. Only Ryan Dempster, who retired, will be missing.)
The Sox' changes -- at such critical defensive positions as shortstop, center field and catcher -- only highlight the turnover.
"That brings a different focus to it,'' said Farrell.
As part of their offseason review, the Red Sox looked at data to find the optimum amount of turnover from year-to-year for successful teams.
"We looked at what history has shown,'' said Farrell, "and teams that win regularly, how many [everyday position] players do they transition every year? It's roughly two a year, to maintain youth, to maintain talent and to continue that building over the long haul.''

I have a small folding table that my developer tray and hot plate sit on for the Pot. Ox (pt/pd developer).
I use a big set of those burly steel garage shelves next to the sink for all the successive clearing baths for pt/pds and dev water baths for gum bichrom (one on each shelf).
The trays are the large black grout mixing trays you can get at homedepot/lowes for about $5/piece. Sized perfectly for 12x20 prints on 15x22 paper.
There is a big 20x24 Yankee tray washer next to the sink that I use for the final wash. I also have a 20x24 vert/slot print washer in the Laundry room that is hooked up to a "Y" on the cold water for the washer, I use a ball valve on it to regulate flow. This is used for final washing of the pt/pd prints (NOT the gums as itll mar the surface) and I use it for washing my 12x20 negs - 2 per slot makes for the ability to wash ALOT of negs
All my paper coating for pt/pd and gum is done in the bathroom on a glass topped table that sits right in front of the toilet bowl - when coating the toilet bowl becomes my coating chair.
rather minimalistic and sparse, but fully functioning.
Anyone that says you can't shoot ULF without a dedicated darkroom ... tell them "bahh"
My mind goes back to a time........33 years ago........when I wasn't married. The burly steel garage shelves were the give away.

slimphatty The day they lost respect for you was the day that you allowed them to get away with disrespecting you.
Sincere people, sometimes, may not be in a position to pull you up. But, they always think of ways, not to let you fall..
The best way to be happy with someone is to learn to be happy alone. that way the company will be a matter of choice and not necessity.
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Every day is a start of something beautiful.
Great personality will always make you more attractive than someone who only has a great face.
In a relationship, honesty & trust must exist. If they don't, there's no point of loving. So if you can't afford to be honest, stay single.
My heart told me it's definitely you!!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
you are the first and last thing on my mind each and every day…
We loved with a love that was more than love…
Love is when you look into someone's eyes and see everyting you need.
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left…
Wouldn't it be the perfect crime it i stole your heart, and you stole mine?
I want to today and tomorrow, and next week and for the rest of my life…
i need you, and you need me, That's the way it's supposed to be..
Let's walk together ….. Be together …… Stay together and Grow old together.
Forever is a long time , But, I wouldnt mind spending it by your side.

Even at box speed I found the CR200 to be pretty grainy. It's a kind of attractive film in its color rendition, but very different from Provia 400X.
I've seen good results from pushing Provia 100F to 400, but I haven't done it myself. The samples I found in a quick search were all in medium format, so I don't know how bad the grain gets in 35mm.
OP, since you mentioned the cost of developing slides as part of the problem, are you considering looking at color negative films too?

General Motors and Honda announced an ambitious joint venture they hope will allow them to transform the fuel cell from a scientific curiosity to a mass-market reality.
The two automakers plan to team up in an effort to bring zero-emission hydrogen fuel-cell technology to the mass market by the end of the decade.
Ford is rolling out a new version of its popular F-Series truck. The Ford F-150 Tremor is a regular cab pickup with a short wheel base and Ecoboost engine.

The 'world championship' of the Mumm 36 class yacht was decided on the River Derwent on Saturday with Jeff Cordell's Host Plus Executive, Ian Stewart's TasPaints and Gavin Adamson's Madness sharing the honours in the final Combined Club Harbour Series for the summer season of 2013-2014.
Host Plus Executive, winner of the Combined Club's Harbour Race series on AMS scoring.
Host Plus Executive won the AMS division of Group one overall, TasPaints took out the PHS division, with Madness winning both windward/leeward races on PHS handicaps and finishing with two - one result under AMS scoring.
Bellerive Yacht Club friendly rivals Cordell and Stewart coined the 'Mumm 36 world championship' concept several seasons back as their near identical yachts raced boat-for-boat in river racing. Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania member Adamson joined them with a third Mumm 36 this season.
Designed by Bruce Farr, the Mumm 36 was created as a smaller one-design yacht for the Admiral's Cup in the mid-1990s and has since proved to be an excellent yacht for round-the-buoys and offshore racing.
Hobart turned on a sparkling autumn afternoon for the final race day, with Bellerive Yacht Club race officers able to run two windward/leeward races in an eight - twelve knot south-easterly breeze for Groups one and two and a good race around the estuary for Groups four and six.
Kindred Spirit won Group six of the Combined Clubs Harbour Series. - Combined Clubs Harbour Series
Host Plus Executive led three Mumm 36s home in the first race, also winning overall on AMS corrected time, with Madness second, TasPaints dead-heating for fourth place with Mem (Paul Boutchard). In the second and final race, Madness was the front-runner of the Mumm 36s, also winning the race on corrected time, with Host Plus Executive second and TasPaints third.
The overall result for the season saw Host Plus finish first on 16 points, TasPaints second on 21 points, third place to Masquerade (Tony Harman) with Madness fourth.
In the Group one PHS division, Madness won both races on corrected time, but the overall season pennant went to TasPaints on a countback from Mem, both finishing on 30 points. Third overall went to Host Plus Executive on 33 points.
Just half a point separated Nat Morgan's Hot August Night from the Derwent Sailing Squadron and Dave Willans' Trouble (BYC) after the final two races for Group two, both races yesterday won by Wildfire (Malcolm Robinson).
Hot August Night notched up two thirds to finish the summer series with 26 points, Trouble had a second and a fourth today to end up with 26.5 points while third overall went to Spare Time (Shane Powell) with 29.5 points.
TasPaints, winner of the Combined Clubs Harbour Series on PHS scoring. - Combined Clubs Harbour Series
The Group four and six fleet sailed one race around the bay to decide their season pennant winners, with just one point separating the top three boats overall in Group four – Eliza (Kevin Jacobson, BYC) on 18 points, Chicas (John Lewis, Geilston Bay Boat Club) on 19 points, taking second place on a countback from the RYCT entrant Pirates Pride (Peter Masterton).
Galapagos Duck (Terry Bragg, BYC) won the final race for Group four but finished well down the points score, as did the Group six last race winner Don't Bug Me (Peter Bugg DSS).
Group six overall went to the RYCT yacht Kindred Spirit, skippered by Alastair Douglas, a last race fourth giving the Mottle 33 an eight point winning margin from Ingenue (Nigel Johnston), third overall going to Innovator (Ian Smith).

All things pertinent.
Current Event 1
I'll be using: http://www.religionnews.com/2013/12/05/pope-francis-launches-commission-tackle-sex-abuse/ as the source.
The article basically states that Pope Francis is launching a commission for the sake of reducing sex abuse within the Church. In light of the recent events [to which, many clergy members have been accused and convicted], Pope Francis ultimately seeks to end sex abuse within the clergy. The commission aspires to ultimately 'set standards on reporting crimes to civil authorities, screen candidates for the priesthood and ministry, educate church works about abuse and establish rules for dealing with allegations, offer pastoral care for victims and their families, communicate news of abuse to the community, and to supervise clergy guilty of abuse.' The Pope, according to the Vatican, will soon publish the names of those who will be on the commission. O'Malley, an American Cardinal, is perhaps the most 'credible' on the top of sex abuse within the clergy — he'll be charged with forming much of the ideas, and for serving as a type of leader.
I don't think that anybody could argue for the headlines as being 'bad' — the Pope is doing what a practical individual would do; when faced with awful crime, the simplest way is to attack the crime, in aspiration of extirpating it. Pope Francis is unique in that he's taking the initiative in actually doing something; rather than protect those convicted, he takes a sterner approach, recognizing the inherent disconnect. He's willing to put in extensive effort, not only to convey his thoughts on the poor [to which, by the media, he's viewed extremely positively], but on the more controversial, 'elephants.'
I am, of course, for the prevention and further extirpation of sex abuse within the clergy. It's not an act which should be prevalent to the point of making headlines, and starting commissions. The Church, at its core, is meant to symbolize good-will, not any particular vitriolic, or antipathic group; sexual abuse serves to degrade an esteemed name.
Current Event 2
I'll be using: http://www.religionnews.com/2013/11/21/religious-conflict-rips-central-african-republic/
With the Central African Republic, there's prevalent conflict between two major religion denominations: The Christians and the Muslims. Ever since March, when an Islamic rebel alliance overthrew a Christian leader, the nation's been in civil strife; its population of 4.6 million is suffering greatly from the animosities. There are up to 2000 Christians currently seeking asylum. Seleka, the leader of the previous rebel alliance, is charged to be the main cause of this inherent struggle. With extensive damage done against the Christian side of the nation, individuals and governments alike, aspire greatly to end the conflict among the two religions. 400k displaced individuals, and 64k refugees were produced as a result of the struggle.
I'd of course, be against war among two religious denominations. I'm not so as much interested as to whose fault it is, or who provoked the situation in the first place; but, concerned primarily with the current situation, and the results of it. An act of war is between a country and another — the leader of the particular nation who declares it, finds it opportune to state that the welfare of the state supersedes that of each individual within it [meaning, he's willing to put his country in worry for the sake of protecting it]. In this case, we find two religious denominations, one, nominally overthrew the other, and the other, is trying to protect what it has. I wouldn't be so quick to condemn the Muslims, even though the article allegates that they initiated the battle [in Islamic scripture, it's presumed that you seldom attack for the sake of taking land, it's almost always defensive]; and I wouldn't be so quick to condemn the Christians either. What is more pressing is the fact that there are individuals, who cared not for the religious bickering, and subsequent battle, who are suffering as a result. It's mildly selfish for the leader of a country to put his people through a war, but it's entirely selfish to leave those unrelated in the crossfire, for the sake of accomplishing a quixotic goal. I'd be against war in most situations. War only begets more war; it's more practical to act mature within a struggle. In that case, it'd be much simpler to not only start alliances, but to maintain them; as a creditor would not want to lend money to an individual who's constantly in and out of jail, a nation, or even a group of individuals will want to identify with the group that's the most stable. In this case, a nation torn by religious differences is not stable.

Use it. While the bow is undoubtedly a cool collector bow, bows dont quite have the collectors market like guns or old cars do. Use it, enjoy it, show it off.

Add this one to one of the more bizarre fan stories.
A fan reportedly was kicked out of Texas Tech's Sunday Super Regional baseball game against College of Charleston for allegedly telling people they'd be baptized by Baylor coach Art Briles and tossing water at them, according to RedRaidersports.com's Chris Level.
The man was identified by social media reports as a Baylor fan.
And he just got tossed from the game. Sheriff and LPD escorted him out. RT @T_Henley: Another Baylor fan. @ChrisLevel pic.twitter.com/AMRJ9MLbNn— Chris Level (@ChrisLevel) June 8, 2014
While fans at Red Raider games normally are known for being rather rambunctious, this has to have been a first.
Baylor and Texas Tech football play this Nov. 29 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

Information for Outpatients
When arriving for an outpatient appointment please go straight to the Outpatient Department via the main entrance, at gate C.
Travel & Parking
Additional parking is available on the Bristol Road outside the hospital in clearly marked bays. Parking here is free but strictly limited to three hours between 7am and 4pm. Parking on the Bristol Road outside the hospital is enforced by police and traffic wardens. Please ensure you adhere to signs and restrictions referring to these spaces. These spaces are not controlled by the hospital and therefore cannot take responsibility for any penalties or fines incurred as a result of parking on the Bristol Road.The hospital is on the West Midland bus route 61, 63 and 98 from Birmingham City Centre. These buses stop just outside the hospital at entrance A.
You can find a map and further information about travelling to the ROH under the How To Find Us section of this website.
Your Appointment
Upon arrival you can either use a self check-in kiosk or report to the outpatient reception desk. Please check your appointment letter for information regarding the location of your clinic. Look out for a hospital volunteer in the main reception area who will be available to help with any queries.
We always do our best to keep waiting times as short as possible, however there are times where delays may occur. Our consultants and their teams try to give enough time to each patient to fully examine them and explain what treatment is needed and we feel sure you, as a patient, would recognise that this sometimes causes delays. Please also be aware you may not always be seen by the consultant themselves, but by an experienced member of their team.
Please help us to offer the best service we can by informing the hospital as soon as possible if you are not able to attend your appointment. We may be able to give your appointment to someone else. If you do not attend your appointment and have not notified us, we will refer you back to your GP.

Bought these for my wife who has gluten & dairy intolerances, but I've been consuming them just as much because they taste so good and really help to tide me over until meal time. I keep a few in my vehicle at all times for a healthy snack when I'm on the go. They're even easy to eat when frozen (e.g. when left in a vehicle during the winter).
My favourite for a quick on the go snack. I keep at least one in my desk drawer at all times.
Moist and delicious! There are some bars that I eat them because I have to...this one I eat because I want to!
This is my favorite Larabar flavor! I like that it has less sugar than some of the other varieties because it has more cashews than dates.

Competition launched to design new wildflower centre
The search is on for an architect to design a new education and conference centre at the National Wildlife Centre near Liverpool.
The international competition, set up by the RIBA, is calling for expressions of interest to develop proposals for an 'architecturally striking educational, conference and seed production complex'.
Backing the competition is Landlife, the wildflower charity, which already has £100,000 of funding for the competition provided through the Northwest Regional Development Agency.
Entries are invited from architects or architect-led teams, which will be judged anonymously at the first stage.
Six firms will then be invited to develop their design proposals and present them to a jury panel at interview. Each stage-two competitor will receive an honorarium of £6,000.

Gwede compares EFF to NazisComment on this story
Johannesburg - ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe on Tuesday drew comparisons between the Nazis and Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters.
"(Adolf) Hitler used brown shirts to mobilise people," he told reporters in Johannesburg.
"The Nazis didn't start by killing Jews, they started by making promises."
The EFF has started wearing red overalls and domestic worker attire in legislatures across the country. This resulted in clashes between the party and the Gauteng legislature last week after they were told the workwear which included the word "Asijiki" (we won't go back) on the back is not appropriate for the legislature.
Mantashe said the EFF was trying to sound revolutionary but its words were hollow.
The emerging trend was worrying and it could undermine democracy.
Mantashe was briefing media following an ANC national working committee meeting held on Monday. - Sapa

How Do I Prepare For A Conventional CT Scan?
In general, no special preparation is required for a CT scan. Comfortable, loose clothing should be worn, although in some cases a patient will be asked to change into a hospital gown for the examination. It is also important to remove any metal prior to the exam: jewelry, dentures, eyeglasses, belt buckles, and metal zippers and buttons can interfere with the images.
A patient may be asked to limit eating and drinking to clear liquids, such as water, black coffee and tea, and broth for several hours prior to the appointment for a CT scan. This request will be dependent upon the facility and the type of examination.
For many CT examinations, a

The major objective of this grant project is to develop a contracting mechanism which would consolidate public funding streams and reporting requirements for The Door -- a comprehensive adolescent service agency in New York whose program concept has been replicated in several states. It is expected that the Door staff and consultants, together with an appointed lead state and city agency, will develop contracting procedures, performance criteria and reporting requirements through which the Door will be held accountable. Foundation funds will be used to support staff and a consultant responsible for working with state and city officials to negotiate the development of the consolidated funding and reported mechanisms. If successful, this mechanism could serve as a model for other comprehensive service agencies that serve high-risk populations, such as adolescents, the homeless and people with AIDS.
Amount Awarded $51,520.00
Awarded on: 4/19/1990
Time frame: 5/1/1990 - 4/30/1991

Public Law 111-005February 17, 2009 - by Donny Shaw
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the stimulus bill) was officially signed into law this afternoon by President Obama. It is now Pub.L. 111-005

Trombonist Ian Bousfield to perform at CU-Boulder Jan. 22
January 14, 2014
Ian Bousfield, one of the world's top trombonists, will perform at the CU-Boulder College of Music Jan. 22 as part of a three-day residency through the James and Rebecca Roser Visiting Artist Program.
"Ian Bousfield is simply one of the most remarkable trombonists in the world," says William J. Stanley, associate professor of trombone and chair of the brass/percussion department at CU-Boulder. "We are honored to have him."
In 1979, when he was just 15, Bousfield won the prestigious Shell London Symphony Orchestra scholarship and he joined the European Youth Orchestra at 16
He later enjoyed a 12-year career with the London Symphony Orchestra, where he was a featured soloist and recorded soundtracks to numerous films, including "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" and "Braveheart." In 2000, he became principal trombone of the Vienna Philharmonic/Vienna State Opera, still the only British member in the orchestra's history.
As a soloist, Bousfield also has performed with the London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Halle Orchestra, Sapporo Symphony and Austin Symphony. Highlights of his solo career include performing the Nina Rota Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic and Riccardo Muti three times in Vienna, as well as in The Lucerne Festival and in Tokyo, and giving the world premiere of Jonathan Dove's Stargazer, written for and dedicated to him, with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Bousfield is currently professor of trombone at the Hochschule der Künste in Bern, Switzerland, holds an honorary membership with the Royal Academy of Music in London and is International Fellow of Brass at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
The program for the Jan. 22 concert, with accompaniment by Margaret McDonald on piano, will include: Grondahl — Concerto; Hindemith — Trauermusik; Starr — Panic and Irony (unaccompanied); Korngold — Tanzlied des Pierrots and Marietta's Lied; Peaslee — Arrows of Time; and Pryor — Petite Suzanne, O Dry Those Tears and Blue Bells of Scotland.
Ian Bousfield, trombone
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 22
Where: Grusin Music Hall, Imig Music building, CU-Boulder campus
Tickets: Free and open to the public
Information: email@example.com or 303-492-5469

Rosario Dawson Meeting Prince William, Kate Middleton at Polo Match!
Rosario, meet the royals!
Prince William and Duchess Kate head to a polo match in Santa Barbara, Calif. on Saturday, and a source confirms to Us Weekly that Rosario Dawson will also be in attendance!
PHOTOS: Kate's chic Canadian style
The 32-year-old actress won't be the only Hollywood star on the sidelines. Orlando Bloom and Zoe Saldana will also be cheering on the ponies and players. Fellow Brits Alex Pettyfer plus Rosie Huntington-Whiteley -- she joked earlier this month that she was "obsessed" with Prince Harry -- will also be at the match, the source confirms.
PHOTOS: Who is the hottest Brit?
William, 29, will be playing, while Kate, also 29, will hand out prizes. Proceeds from the event will benefit American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Harry.
PHOTOS: Look back on the royal wedding
The royals' A-list mingling doesn't end in Santa Barbara. Following the polo match, they'll head back to L.A. for a BAFTA reception held at the Belasco Theater, where celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Barbra Streisand, Dana Delaney, Cat Deeley and others are expected to attend.
