Olmert: Political considerations don't affect decisions on Gaza
PM makes veiled attack on Defense Min. at gov't meeting; Israel said to agree in principle to Hamas truce.

In a veiled attack on Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday denied that political considerations were delaying a decision on whether to agree to a proposed truce with Gaza militant groups or to launch a broad military operation in the coastal Strip.
Olmert stated that whoever claims political considerations are preventing any type of action in the Gaza Strip is simply projecting his own faulty perceptions.
The prime minister was hinting at Barak's recent linking of the political crisis currently engulfing Olmert's Kadima party with a delay in the agreement on a cease-fire with Hamas.
"Last Wednesday the Security Cabinet made decisions regarding the Gaza Strip. As you know, this issue has topped our agenda for a very long time," Olmert added, speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting Sunday.
"The continuation of terrorism from Gaza ? Qassam terrorism, suicide attacks, infiltrations and shooting ? is intolerable. The Government of Israel has reiterated that we must uphold the most fundamental obligation of all governments toward their citizens, i.e. a response to their security problems, a halt to the daily threats that disrupt the lives of the many residents who live in that area," he said.
The prime minister also reiterated that advancing the release of captive Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held in Gaza since 2006, is an inseparable part of the effort to achieve calm in the south.
Barak, who is also the Labor Party chairman, threatened on Thursday that he would call for the dissolution of Knesset and preparation for general elections, unless Kadima follows through and expedites its party primaries.
The calls for a Kadima leadership contest were triggered by an ongoing investigation into claims that Olmert took as much as $150,000 from a Jewish-American businessman over a two-decade period.
Meanwhile, security and government sources said on Saturday that Israel has agreed in principle to an Egyptian-mediated proposal for a cease-fire and the opening of intensive talks for the release of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit.
The sources said that Defense Ministry official Major General (res.) Amos Gilad has relayed Israel's positions to Egyptian intelligence chief General Omar Suleiman.
A delegation of Hamas leaders was to meet Sunday in Cairo with Suleiman to hear Israel's position. The delegation is headed by the Damascus-based deputy chief of Hamas' political wing, Musa Abu Marzuk, and senior Hamas leaders from Gaza.
According to the outlines of the deal, Egypt will announce that Hamas and the other armed groups in Gaza have decided on a cease-fire, and Israel will stop responding to fire from Gaza. Israel has not agreed to Hamas' demand to extend the cease-fire to the West Bank but has told the Egyptians that quiet in Gaza will reflect on the chances for quiet in the West Bank as well.
Israel has also refused to agree to Hamas' demand that the cease-fire agreement include an opening of the border crossings into Gaza, but has said it will ease the economic blockade of the Strip.
The Rafah crossing is under Palestinian-Egyptian control. However, Egypt reportedly wants to open it only as part of the agreement with Israel. Israel apparently wants to delay the opening of the Rafah crossing until significant progress is made in a prisoner swap.
Hamas spokesmen last week said Shalit would be released only in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel, and not as part of the cease-fire agreement.
On Saturday, the London-based Arabic daily Asharq Alawsat reported that Israel had agreed to forego a link between Shalit's release and the cease-fire. Gilad's father, Noam Shalit, said Israeli officials have assured him that his son's release is an integral part of cease-fire discussions.
Israel is reportedly willing to exchange Shalit for 450 terrorists, to be released in two stages.
Weekend mortar attacks
Palestinians fired three mortars and two anti-tank missiles at Israel Defense Forces soldiers patrolling the security fence around the Gaza Strip on Saturday. There were no injuries, but one missile struck an IDF bulldozer.
Earlier Saturday, a volley of three mortars was fired at Israel, causing no damage or injuries. On Friday night, an Israel Air Force missile targeted two armed terrorists in the area of Beit Hanun in the northern Gaza Strip, but missed its mark.
Earlier Friday, three mortars were fired from the Gaza Strip; two exploded in the vicinity of Kibbutz Kissufim and one struck near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. No injuries or damage were reported.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank Saturday morning, IDF special forces blockaded the village of Deheisha near Bethlehem where prior intelligence had pinpointed the location of a senior terror leader. The IDF said some 200 Palestinians threw stones and explosive devices at the troops and IDF forces responded with crowd control measures as well as live fire.
Also Friday, IDF sources said that soldiers had shot a Palestinian youth in the leg when they saw him trying to cut the West Bank separation fence during an anti-fence protest in Bil'in.

Oh it is a Canon EOS 7D
Raw and Raw Conversion
Supplied software
The EOS 7D is provided with the 'Canon EOS Solutions Disk v21.0' which includes:
- Canon ZoomBrowser EX 6.4 - Easy to use image browsing and organization with a unique interface. Includes rudimentary image editing, printing and e-mail. This latest version of the software also provides some very basic video editing. - Windows only.
- Canon EOS Utility 2.7 - Automatic or Manual transfer of images via WIA, also allows for the adjustment of camera settings and remote 'tethered' shooting. *
- Canon PhotoStitch 3.1 - Panorama stitching utility.
- Canon Digital Photo Professional 3.7 - Advanced image workflow and editing, specialized in RAW conversion with a range of adjustment and output options. *
- Picture Style Editor 1.6 - Create custom Picture Styles. *
* Universal Binaries (Intel / PowerPC) for Mac OS X.
Digital Photo Professional is an image workflow and RAW conversion application that provides for the browsing and management of images in a folder structure as well as tagging, rotation etc. In addition it also provides an extensive range of RAW conversion features which include digital exposure compensation, white balance, tone curve, color, picture style, sharpness and lens correction parameters.
A number of different tools can be accessed from the tools menu. The Quick Check tool allows you to browse through a selection of images and assign check marks to them. The Trimming tool can be used to apply a crop to an image (the image itself is not modified, this is simply saved in the recipe).
The Stamp tool works in a similar way to the clone stamp or healing brush in Photoshop (although it is primary designed for the removal of light or dark blotches).The Rename tool can be used to change the filename of a selection of images based on a rule set. Finally you can convert multiple RAW files at a time using the batch conversion tool.
RAW conversion
As is normal in our digital SLR reviews we like to compare the supplied RAW conversion software, any optional manufacturer RAW conversion software and some third party RAW converter. In the case of the EOS 7D we used the supplied Digital Photo Professional, Adobe Camera RAW 5.6 Beta and a Release Candidate 2 version of the new Capture One Pro 5.0.
- JPEG - Large/Fine, Default settings
- DPP - Digital Photo Professional 3.7
- Cap One - Capture One Pro 5.0 RC2
- ACR - Adobe Camera RAW 5.6 beta
Please note that our version of Adobe ACR (5.6 Beta) had according to Adobe not been fully optimized for the EOS 7D yet. Once a full version becomes available we will reprocess these samples and replace them where necessary. Thanks to Eric at Adobe for making this 'pre-beta' version of ACR available in time for this review.
Color reproduction
Place your mouse over the label below the image to see the color from a GretagMacbeth ColorChecker chart produced using each RAW converter. As we would expect there is hardly any difference between JPEG from the camera and Digital Photo Professional. Adobe Camera RAW and Capture One's default settings take slightly different approaches to color response and tone curve.
|Canon EOS 7D
|Compare to:
|Adobe RGB
Sharpness and Detail
The sharpest image was produced by Capture One although the end result looks almost slightly over processed. DPP and Adobe ACR deliver a better balance between image detail and sharpening. All RAW samples show a tad more detail in the feathers than the out-of-camera JPEG.
|Digital Photo Professional -> TIFF (Default settings, manual WB)
ISO 100 studio scene 100% crops
|Capture One Pro ->JPEG (Default settings, manual WB)
ISO 100 studio scene 100% crops
|Adobe ACR 5.6 (Beta) RAW ->JPEG (Default settings, manual WB)
ISO 100 studio scene 100% crops
|JPEG out of camera, High quality setting (all settings default)
ISO 100 studio scene 100% crop
These crops demonstrate that more detail is available from the RAW converters than can be obtained from JPEG. That said, a lot of this detail could be described as 'false' (produced beyond Nyquist), although frankly the majority of the time this is useful as it improves the appearance of 'texture'. The ACR output looks a little softer than DPP. Again, Capture One is close to being over sharpened.

|Digital Photo Professional (RAW)
|Adobe Camera RAW 5.6 Beta (RAW)
|Capture One Pro 5.0 RC2 (RAW)
Real word advantages
What we've seen above on the test charts of course also works on real life shots. Some careful sharpening in the RAW conversion will generate visibly more detail than can be seen in the JPG image. The difference is not enormous though and you'll have to zoom in quite a bit in order to spot it.

Passing on the Faith
Passing on the Faith: Becoming a Follower
Jesus rightly cautions his disciples against putting too much value in seeking after greatness, but why didn't he just remind them of one of his sayings about humility? He had quite a repertoire to choose from—the first shall be last, don't take the seat of prominence at the table, the greatest among you is the servant, and so on. I think it's because he realized that the disciples' problem was not that they lacked a proper theory of humility; their problem was grasping after leadership and shame at being followers. Jesus invites them back into followership with what they no doubt found an insulting suggestion—that they follow a child. Becoming like a child means to be healed from your shame at being dependent on others, at your utter lack of originality, and to find joy once again in your inborn God-given ability to follow.
A dire warning follows this invitation from Jesus, a warning that all those who seek to pass on the faith need to take to heart.
"If any of you put a stumbling-block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks! Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to the one by whom the stumbling-block comes!"
The stumbling block, the obstacle to faith in Jesus, is to become infected with shame about being a follower. Children are unabashed admirers of adults; their following us is total. They imitate us in words and intonations, in gestures and behavior, in likes and dislikes. Unfortunately, we can infect them with our shame as well. In our daily interactions with children, we may find ourselves insisting on our own greatness, asserting our power to conceal our own childlike need and dependency from ourselves and from them. This is the realm of the power struggle which, if too persistent a part of a child's life, damages a child's ability to have faith in the benevolence of adults and therefore in the benevolence of all models, including Jesus.
This is why Jesus responds with his dramatic warnings of woe to the world, which I referenced above, more of which appear in the following verses. Matthew follows the warnings with the Parable of the Lost Sheep, a parable I think we read too metaphorically. This story contrasts the children whose faith in Jesus has not been harmed with the one child who has been caused to stumble. Please notice how the ninety-nine, confident that Jesus would never abandon them, are able to wait patiently and calmly for him to return. The lost sheep is the child who has been caused to stumble and so has lost his ability to follow the Good Shepherd.
"Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven. What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost."
Let us inhabit the space of passing on the faith with the humility of a child, without shame at our dependence, and without grasping after greatness. For it is the will of our Father that not one of the little ones entrusted to our care should be lost.

Cowlitz County officials have released a photo of a belt worn by an unidentified man whose badly decomposed body was found Dec. 15 along the Columbia River in Longview.
The belt was made of corded fabric, purple and off-white. It had metal clips on the end.
In other details, the man wore Rustler-brand jeans, size 36 waist by 32 inches. He had upper and lower dentures and a week's growth of gray beard.
He wore a dark sock. Any shoes and jewelry may have fallen off.
The cause and manner of death are listed as "undetermined pending any new information," according to a bulletin.
Deputy Coroner Brett Dundas said that because of the age and advanced decomposition, he has ruled out Aaron Brandley, a 17-year-old Mountain View High School senior who jumped off the Interstate 205 Bridge in mid-October.
Aaron's body is believed to be still missing, a school official said Tuesday.
The body of a Camas man, Carl Lacour, 45, was recovered in late August after he jumped off a boat near Jantzen Beach.

Twitter Turns 7: Social Revolution Continues
TheStreet) -- Today is Twitter's seventh birthday, and in seven years, the micro-blogging social network has changed the world for the better. The San Francisco-based announced on its blog that today is the anniversary of founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet, and it's been nothing but upshot ever since. Since 2006, Twitter has racked up over 200 million active users, who send out over 400 million tweets every day.Social media has shaped our lives tremendously, with more good than harm being done in the process. Facebook (FB - Get Report), the world's largest social network with over 1 billion users, was the largest tech IPO in history, raising more than $16 billion in the process. Google's (GOOG - Get Report) YouTube announced Thursday that it has surpassed 1 billion monthly unique users. Not only is that providing value to the lives of consumers, but it's big business for Google as well. On its fourth-quarter earnings call, Google said viewers are watching 4 billion hours of video a month, and that's translating to advertising revenue, with advertisers increasing their spend 50% from 2011 to 2012. The top 25 advertisers now spend over $150 million each per year on YouTube, helping Google's move to mobile. Though Twitter is not a public company ( TheStreet has predicted Twitter will file documents to go public later this year), it's thought the company is doing around $250 million in annual revenue, as it reshapes the news industry. In mid-2012, Twitter said it "expects to generate at least $1 billion in sales in 2014."NEW YORK (

For years, Finland's public education system has served as the exemplar against which schools in other countries should be measured.
By elevating the status of teachers to "professionals" and minimizing testing in favor of personal attention, the Finns have a proven track record. As LynNell Hancock reported in this 2011 Smithsonian piece:
Educators had little idea it was so successful until 2000, when the first results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a standardized test given to 15-year-olds in more than 40 global venues, revealed Finnish youth to be the best young readers in the world. Three years later, they led in math. By 2006, Finland was first out of 57 countries (and a few cities) in science. In the 2009 PISA?scores released last year, the nation came in second in science, third in reading and sixth in math among nearly half a million students worldwide.
Now it looks like the Finns are on to another interesting idea, this time in the criminal justice arena: assessing fines for certain offenses based upon ability to pay.
As explained in this Atlantic piece by Joe Pinsker:
Finland's system for calculating fines is relatively simple: It starts with an estimate of the amount of spending money a Finn has for one day, and then divides that by two—the resulting number is considered a reasonable amount of spending money to deprive the offender of. Then, based on the severity of the crime, the system has rules for how many days the offender must go without that money. Going about 15 mph over the speed limit gets you a multiplier of 12 days, and going 25 mph over carries a 22-day multiplier.
Such a system is certainly worthy of consideration in this country, where the illogic of heaping hefty fines and penalties upon those least able to pay, and then jailing those who don't pay, has been well-documented.

Chief of Staff visits U.S. Army Africa, U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza
October 15, 2010
By Mr. David Ruderman (USARAF)
Story Highlights
- Chief of Staff of the Army praises 173rd Airborne's role in Afghanistan, reassures family members
- Gen. George W. Casey Jr. discusses family support, balancing the force, budget projections with family members
- Chief of Staff of the Army meets with U.S. Army Africa leadership in Vicenza, Italy
- Casey reaffirms Army committment to Family Covenant
VICENZA, Italy - The Chief of Staff of the Army met with family members, toured new and renovated facilities, and was briefed by U.S. Army Africa leadership during a visit to U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza Friday.
Gen. George W. Casey Jr., returning to the United States after visiting troops in Afghanistan, met with 35 family support group leaders in Davis Hall after touring the garrison's recently dedicated health center and primary education complex.
"This is like a walk down memory lane," Casey told the family members, who gathered for an update and a question-and-answer session with the CSA.
He gave family members an update on the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, which is presently nearing the end of a deployment in Afghanistan, discussed the increase of rest time between deployments and addressed concerns regarding expected cuts in the Department of Defense budget.
"I was with the brigade Wednesday. They have made great progress over the course of the past year, remarkable progress," Casey said.
Perhaps the best news for the attentive family members was the arrival of the 10th Mountain Division's 4th Brigade advance party on the ground in Afghanistan. The division is scheduled to take over from the 173rd, which will return to Vicenza over the course of the next several months.
"They're on their way," Casey told the family members. "I just want to say thank you to the Soldiers and family members here in Vicenza. You've carried a heavy burden over the last several years, and we thank you for your service."
Addressing other issues, upcoming budget cuts across the Department of Defense have been anticipated for some time, Casey said, endeavoring to put a projected $10 billion reduction in over all outlays into perspective.
"I have told them: Hands off the family programs. We have doubled family programs since 2007. That's the first thing I want to tell you: Don't worry about the money," Casey said.
He expects the total Army force to be in a better state of balance by the end of next year, a combined result of increased enlistment and an increase in rest time for Soldiers between deployments.
The authorization to add 75,000 Soldiers to the ranks, made several years ago, has been augmented by the support of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to authorize another 22,000 under the present administration, he said.
"You'll see that impact, along with the reduction in Iraq," he told the family members.
The increase in dwell time in between deployments, increasing from 12 months to 18-24 months, will also have a beneficial effect. "That's the most important thing we needed to do to get ourselves back in balance," Casey said.
Casey said he was impressed by improvements to the infrastructure and range of services built by the garrison over the past few years.
"I was in the first company that came from Germany to here in 1973, so it's changed a lot," he said.
"Holy, Mac! I just saw the health center, the new elementary and middle school, and the barracks renovations taking place here. I thought it was Gen. Hogg's house when I drove up," Casey quipped.
"The last thing is, we remain absolutely committed to the Family Covenant, and delivering on it," Casey said, before opening the floor up for questions and comments.
He met later with U.S. Army Africa Commander, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, for a briefing on U.S. Army Africa, the force's newest Army Service Component Command.
"This really allows us to focus on the land forces in Africa in a way we've never been able to do before. Over the next few years, one of things you'll see is a Regimental Brigade Combat Team that's focused on Africa. That's going to really ramp up our abilities," he said.
Casey also met briefly with AFN South and U.S. Army Africa journalists before beginning his journey back to the United States.

London Unveils Plans for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Posted By Timon Singh On October 11, 2010 @ 7:52 pm In Design,Landscape Architecture,Urban design | 2 Comments
The UK's Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, Rt. Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, recently announced that upon the completion of the 2012 London Olympics [2], the Olympic Park will be transformed into Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. [3] The decision was made due to the Royal Family's long support and association with the Olympic and Paralympic Movement [2], and thus the new public facility that will be used for sport and culture was deemed to be a suitable tribute. After the Games, the park is expected to be closed for a year, and it will be reopened in 2013.
Rt Hon Hunt MP said: "It is a great honour that Her Majesty The Queen has given her consent to name the Park the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after the Games. Her Majesty has been supportive of London 2012 for the start and with the event taking place in her Diamond Jubilee year, it is fitting that the Park bears her name."
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, supported the decision saying: "I cannot think of a more fitting tribute than celebrating this significant anniversary and this historic moment for London by naming the site after Her Majesty. This will be the first time that an Olympic Park site [5] will have both an Olympic and a royal long-term association, and brings with it fantastic benefits for local people, for East London and for the capital as a whole."
In addition to providing sports facilities [6], the area will also feature a mixture of town houses, affordable flats and riverside properties which will sit next to the various venues. The site will also boast hanging gardens set 30 feet above ground, meadows, lawns, shrubs and 4,000 trees.
Baroness Ford, chair of the London Olympic Planning Committee said: "The strength of the values, heritage and power of the Royal and Olympic associations fit with our ambition for the park. We are creating a new piece of London with family neighbourhoods, open space and events, inspired by the 2012 venues that surround them."

Today is August 2, not supposed to get period till the 9th. Took 4 tests tonight and they all came back positive. It is very possible to test early and I used 88¢ tests to clear blue.posted 08/02/2015 by schoolmom8513
I previously posted an answer to this question (5/11/13). Today, I am 19 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. :) Firm believer in dollar tree tests! Also, one of my nurses said they are the exact same tests they use in the lab.posted 08/23/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I did! Just tested yesterday(6 days before my missed)& both tests were positive! The second line was faint but there! Then got it confirmed by the women's center in my area! They was stunned on how quick I found out! I'm 3 weeks along & can't wait for my miracle to be here! :)posted 07/23/2013 by Courtneymichele11
I did 6 and 5 days early using the clearblue digital test using the first urine of the day and got two big old not pregnants. I waited until the day of my period and used a regular clear blue test and i got the +! tested the next day and got the same thing! I'm officially 4 weeks pregnant with my second baby! I pretty much knew 4 days after conception that i was pregnant though, tingling boobs, feeling queasy, but still seeing the negatives broke my heart a little bit and really make you question it. In my opinion, stick it out, wait until your period day and save yourself the stress and hurt.posted 09/18/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
hi. My last period started on the 1st of May and i tested positive on the 23rd of May. I'm pretty sure i ovulated on the 14th. and my period isn't due until 31st of May and i have had 5 positive results already. Had blood taken today. Will soon know how far along :)posted 05/28/2013 by tmunno19
Yes, I tested positive 9 days after conception and six days prior to missed period. Good luck!posted 06/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
It is definitely possible to test positive six days prior to a missed period. The key to understanding this concept is to understanding the luteal phase of your monthly cycle. The average luteal phase is between 11-14 days long, though can be longer or shorter than the average. This phase begins the day you ovulate. So, if you have a 15 day luteal phase, and you test positive on day nine post ovulation, then you have tested 6 days prior to your missed period. However, many women do not have a luteal phase that long, so testing early if you do not know your cycle phases personally may be too early for your body to detect pregnancy.posted 06/27/2012 by caitlinslowery
I was reading all of this and was 5 days until my period but I just couldn't wait any longer after reading that some people had positive results this early on. I used the first urine of the day and guess what. PREGGERS!!! I used clear blue and it came up with 1-2 weeks pregnant. Normally I wouldn't had tested so soon but I was having cramps too which led me to think something was going on. :)posted 02/11/2014 by georginahk21
Yes, i did, it was a faint line but definately positiveposted 06/26/2012 by Jenspencook
yes i tested positive with first response pregnancy test, 6 days before my missed period it does show up.posted 02/03/2013 by mandyoneill101

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan believes that while Oscars may be the biggest film awards, Indians should take pride in their own awards.
"First of all, we have to accept that it (Oscars) is the foremost award. In my view, it is for a different field, cinema of a different kind and language. We should feel proud of our own country and its awards," the 70-year-old said here Thursday when he was chosen India's prime icon for 2012 at CBS/Big FM awards function.
"If any other country feels that we deserve any of their awards, then it would be an honour for us," he added.
So far Indian music composer A.R. Rahman, sound engineer Resul Pookutty and lyricist Gulzar have won Oscars for their work in Danny Boyle's 2008-film "Slumdog Millionaire". Earlier, Bhanu Athayya won the Oscar for costumes for Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi".

Holiday Entertaining Tips
Katz, Ruth J., Newsweek
Holiday entertaining should be a delight-never a chore; if it is the latter, you may as well be partying with Scrooge. Following is your silent party-planning partner, a complete baedecker to successful entertaining. Whether your get-together is spontaneous and casual (good friends devouring a pot-hick supper around the kitchen table), or more structured ( Sunday afternoon cocktail party), or formal (black-tie, midnight supper gala), it should bear your personal touch, even if you hire a party planner. Remember, the fancier and more detailed the event, the more you'll need to rely on a "military" time chart/check list.
Guess who's coming to dinner.
How many people can your home (or the rented facility) hold?
Do you want to use the occasion to meet the new neighbors?
Pay back invitations? Revisit old friends? Get to know co-workers better? Catch up with family?
Should you create a real social, combining diverse groups of friends?
The timbre.
Do you want to include tots and/or your teen-age children's friends? Do you want a high-voltage, noisy bash? Or an intimate and cozy setting?
Will guests be standing, mingling? sitting, chatting? In warm weather climes, should the party be outdoors? Is it feasible to connect the party to an event--like an afternoon of ice skating? A snowman-building competition? Trimming your tree? A postchurch brunch?
The time.
Weekends provide you with lots of last-minute prep time. Guests linger on a "non-school" night; week nights mean early-to-bed. Weekend afternoons are perfect for an all-day open house, ideally suited to staggering arrival times on invitations, especially when you want to invite more guests than your house comfortably accommodates. Give guests plenty of notice; even Sleeping Beauty and Rip Van Winkle get lots of invitations at holiday time.
Interesting store-bought variety, with a dash of glitter or tinsel-or even a be-ribboned fir twig-tucked inside envelope.
Custom-crafted, using hand-colored photocopies, or rubber stamps, stickers, magazine cut-outs, metallic markers, etc.
Ornament (mailed in a little box) with a large hang-tag, with party info.
Elegant vellum papers with gold calligraphy.
Phone and novelty fax for last-minute events
What's for dinner?
Think through the menu and match it to the time of day, type of event, and invitees. Regardless of the fare, always have something that vegetarians, dieters, and those on restricted diets can eat. Some options you might not have considered:
Gourmet cheeses, fruits (candied and fresh), and a selection of grand wines [to ferret out good values, pick up Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines (Penguin); on your invitations, say something homey, like "Join us for Berries and Brandy, Cherries and Candy")
Sweets, cakes, cappuccino, cocoa, and cognacs; splurge on Krups' new Espresso Novo 3000 ProCrema machine and mix in Godiva's luscious-flavored biscotti with your selection of goodies; add something a little surprising, like Jose Cuervo "Reserva de la Familia," a tequila so elegant and smooth it should be served straight-up like cognac.
Red and Green "Gourmet Gala," can consist of pastas, pizza and salads for an apres-ski event. Get Buckeye Beans & Herbs ( 1-800-449-2121 ) colored pastas, in holiday shapes.
Champagne and hors d'oeuvres [to cut costs, domestic sparkling like Domaine Chandon is perfect; for an extraordinary champagne-at an extraordinarily reasonable price-try Egly-Ouriet Grand Cru 100% from North Berkeley Wine (1-800-266-6585)
Food for thought.
Prepare as much as possible ahead freeze, if you can.
If you're hiring a caterer, be knowledgeable:
Ask friends for recommendations/collect names of caterers" whose cuisine you've enjoyed. Sample the dishes you're ordering. …

1Turn off the main water switch in the pump-house and disconnect the attached water pipe to the house.
2Then insert an ordinary garden hose into the water pipe as far as possible, up to where it was frozen below ground. (In my case this was where the pipe was shallow in 2 places, where it came from the pump house and also where it came into the house).
3With an air mattress foot pump, then insert this into the free end of the garden hose and pump, which pushes all unfrozen water out of the pipe around the outside of the inserted hose.
4With all water removed, then tape a 2L plastic bottle (with the bottom end cut off) to the free end of the hose, and fill this with boiling water from the kettle a number of times.
5Hold up the filled hose to bring the hot water directly to the ice.
6Continue multiple times if needed.

Bruges/Paris/Ramstein route suggestions
We arrive in Ramstein, Germany and would like to visit Bruges. Would it be best to go to Paris first and take a train to Lille and a train or bus to Bruges. There doesn't seem to be a direct train to Bruges from Ramstein, though we'd prefer to go to Bruges before Paris. We would like to use trains. We lived in Europe for 4 years and enjoy traveling that way. Also, our kids will like the freedom of the train vs. cars. We could do either though. It will be a short trip. Probably 6 days total. Thank you for any suggestions.

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Striking movie and TV writers and Hollywood
studios are apparently going to give it another shot on Tuesday.
The two sides met Monday to start a new round of negotiations in
a strike that's entered its fourth week.
A person familiar with the contract talks says they will resume
Tuesday morning.
The two sides hadn't been at the bargaining table since the
Writers Guild of America went on strike three weeks ago.
The writers went on strike November 5th over payment for work
aired on the Web. Writers want more money when TV shows and films
are sold on Internet sites.
Studios, networks and producers say it is too early to know which business model will succeed on the Web.

*Ahem* Not to be rude, but they are not swords as arms/hands, they are scythes. That's why it's called a Scyther.
Good work, though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by pickures these are a hoot!! when I first saw these online I thought of my granddaughter who absolutely loves owls!! her favorite color is turquoise so I decided to buy them just for the one. then I realized the red and the green are the same exact colors of these two acrylic 'apples' I have in my kitchen that I use to store small kitchen gadgets in and the two others would compliment them perfectly and add a little charm to my window. so I bought them. My granddaughter stopped by one day, saw them, asked if she could please have the blue one and I told her this same story. I love them. they are practical, cute and make my kitchen 'happy' and I can set the timer, bring it with me into another room, and know when my food needs checking!! February 19, 2015

Carter will have surgery 3/30 for his sagittal crainosyntosis. We've been watching his head growth/size since brith and we were referred to a neurosurgeon at his 4 month appt. The surgery will be about an hour long and he will be at the hospital for about a day. They will make a "S" shaped incision on the top of his head and remove a 6cm wide piece of bone. He won't have to wear a helmet afterward, crazy!! Has anyone had surgery and NOT had a helmet? sounds crazy to me, but the physician reassured me. He said it will just be like Carter has a larger soft spot that most babies, and we shouldn't drop him on his head (joke). We saw the cheif of Neurosurgery at Columbus Children's hospital, so I feel good about his credentials. He said he didn't even need the x-ray we had, he could tell from feeling his head and the way it looks. He does this pretty often. We would have done the surgery this week, but Carter has a cold and he can't be sick, doc is on vacation next week, so 3/30 is the earliest we can do it. Please keep him in your prayers! I am freaked out that my son will have part of his skull removed, but I am confident in my doctor and I know that a lot of other parents have to go through much worse things. We will get through this!
Sarah Mom to Ashlyn 11/05/07 and Carter 11/06/09
Wow! No helmet with out the CVR! (did I get the acronym right?) It's good that they're doing the surgery now, but, I'd call around for a 2nd opinion on the standard of care regarding the helemet. I thought it was standard if you only had the strip of bone removed to have a helmet.
BTW, you LO & mine could be Pre OP twins!
Dorothy mom to YYMatthew JudeYY my sassy little guy!
And the joyfull YYGianna CatherineYY, the happiest baby, um, toddler!
My husband has sagittal craniosynostosis and our 1st daughter as well. She is now 6 and had corrective surgery done at 3 months at Denver Children's. She has an earline to earline incision and had a section of skull removed, no helmet. We were in Children's for about 4 days if I recall right. The surgery itself was a couple hours and she had to be transfused twice.
Good luck to you! Do you have a history in your family?
Happily Married 2006
Mitchell 11/26/09- my handsom Cranio baby!
George 9/28/11-my little guy is growing big and strong
Thank you everyone. Hmm I will ask him again, when I asked him the first time he said he has done a lot of research on this issue and explained the reasons why. Carter isn't having the barrel cuts either. As Dr. Raffel explained, the barrel cuts or molding make the skull go into shape more quickly, Carter's will still be reshaped, but will happen more slowly with his head growth, which I am fine with. He talked about how much bone he will remove and the way he will treat what is left in order to discourage the opening from closing too soon. 80% of his patients that have this surgery do not have to have a blood transfusion, so we are hoping we are not in the extra 20%. We do not have a family history.
Maji - I see you also had your son in November? Carter is refluxy too! He's on Zantac and it really helps. Of course right now he has a stomach virus and so we're back to puking. Puked in my face last night...poor kid.
Sarah Mom to Ashlyn 11/05/07 and Carter 11/06/09
Dororthy - I can't see your pics, but the profile picture sure is cute! Does he have red hair?
Sarah Mom to Ashlyn 11/05/07 and Carter 11/06/09
the endo procedure is the only one that needs a reshaping helmet. my dr will be giving my daughter a protection helmet for after surgery but she wont need to wear it for 23 hrs a day like the endo kiddos. are you sure its only going to be an hour long? we were told it could take about 5 hrs start to finish. but then again all drs are different. but i would double check with all that info just to make sure. good luck with the surgery
Single~FTM to my pretty cranio baby Peyton Olivia 8-18-09
We are on the other side!! :)
I was under the impression that the helmet was for the stripectomy regardless of the incision. However, it has been nearly a year since I researched.
Sarah, I'll friend you so you can see them. A couple of the boards I'm on have had major issues with trolls. They were "stealing" profile pics & saying this is my u/s, baby, husband, ect. So on the advice of the GOs I made my profile private.
His hair seems to have red highlights. But I think it will settle into blond or brown when he gets a bit more.
Dorothy mom to YYMatthew JudeYY my sassy little guy!
And the joyfull YYGianna CatherineYY, the happiest baby, um, toddler!
Carter's surgery is tomorrow. Please keep us in your T&P, I will post updates and pictures when I can. Thank you for all your help. I am so anxious!
Sarah Mom to Ashlyn 11/05/07 and Carter 11/06/09
Hope all went well and we look forward to an update!

If the blood is like browish, its probably fine. If it's bright red and lots of it, then it would be of more concern. Since you're not cramping, everything is probably fine. Always call your doctor though if you're worried about it.posted 11/03/2012 by simplelife5150

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S730
I think the S730 does a decent job overall, especially considering its low price (€ 95) I took many photos of all kind of different situations in bright daylight, with many photos looking bright and colourful (there where also some bad looking photos too,see problems) Macro is also above average. There are plenty of settings in P mode, with the same settings to choose from as the higher-end Cybershots, except Smile Shutter & Face detection. LCD screen is large and useful in bright daylight, ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Hi guys
New here, Came across this forum on google
Basically, ive been into anything related to petrol, my whole life..
Im currently only 23, but im a real petrol head.. If it runs on petrol, i have to get greesy with it.
Cars, Motorbikes, Petrol RC cars, etc etc.
Im a car mechanic for a living, i specialise in mechanical repairs and general welding. Which i love doing..
Just last year, i build up a lowcost kit car, from scratch, using my own designs and fabricating skills..
It was based around a Caterham Super 7 chassis, but with my own tweeks, and ended up running running as RGB (road going bike engine), powered by a 1100cc V-Twin engine that i managed to find at a scrappy, and after rebuilding her, she ran beautifully
But now im more focusing on my motorbikes, which i love the most..
I hope i can be some help on this forum, and im hoping to learn new things too..

We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of 2,518,892 shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $47.0 million (approximately $54.1 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include investments in equipment and other assets. We may also use the net proceeds, or a portion thereof, to pay down a portion of our senior secured revolving credit facility, or invest in or acquire businesses, assets, technologies and products that we believe will complement our existing operations. As of September 30, 2012, there was $321.0 million outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility and the average interest rate was 3.0% per annum. We assess acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis and from time to time have discussions with other companies about potential transactions. We currently do not have any understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to an acquisition and we cannot assure you that we will make any acquisitions in the future. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending these uses, we plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct guaranteed obligations of the United States. The goal with respect to investment of these net proceeds is capital preservation and liquidity so that funds are readily available to fund our operations. An affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is a lender under our senior secured revolving credit facility and will receive a portion of the net proceeds of this offering if we use such proceeds to repay borrowings thereunder.
We may be unable to compete favorably in the highly competitive container leasing and container management businesses. We compete with a number of major leasing companies, many smaller lessors, manufacturers of container equipment, companies and financial institutions offering finance leases, promoters of container ownership and leasing as a tax-efficient investment, container shipping lines, which sometimes lease their excess container stocks, and suppliers of alternative types of containers for freight transport. Some of these competitors have greater financial resources and access to capital than we do. Additionally, some of these competitors may have large, underutilized inventories of containers, which could lead to significant downward pressure on per diem rates, margins and prices of containers. Our business requires large amounts of working capital to fund our operations. We are aware that some of our competitors have recently had ownership changes. As a consequence, these competitors may have greater resources available to aggressively seek to expand their market share. This could include offering lease rates with which we cannot effectively compete. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against these competitors. Competition among container leasing companies depends upon many factors, including, among others, per diem rates; lease terms, including lease duration, drop-off restrictions and repair provisions; customer service; and the location, availability, quality and individual characteristics of containers. New entrants into the leasing business have been attracted by the high rate of containerized trade growth in recent years. New entrants may be willing to offer pricing or other terms that we are unwilling or unable to match. As a result, we may not be able to maintain a high utilization rate or achieve our growth plans.
Company Description
Founded in 1989, we are one of the world's leading container leasing and management companies. We purchase new and used containers, lease them primarily to container shipping lines, freight forwarders and other transportation companies and either retain them as part of our owned fleet or sell them
to container investors for whom we then provide management services. In operating our fleet, we lease, re-lease and dispose of containers and contract for the repair, repositioning and storage of containers. As of September 30, 2012, our fleet consisted of approximately 1,061,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers, 58.1% of which represented our owned fleet and 41.9% of which represented our managed fleet. On October 19, 2012, we purchased approximately 71,000 TEUs of container assets from Dritte Schroeder Container Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH & CO. KG and its affiliate (Dritte Transaction). These container assets were part of our managed fleet prior to the transaction. Assuming that the Dritte Transaction had been in effect as of September 30, 2012, our owned fleet would have represented 64.8% of our total fleet. Average utilization of our fleet was 94.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and was 93.8% for the fourth quarter through November 27, 2012. We lease our containers to lessees under long-term leases, short-term leases and finance leases. Long-term leases cover a specified number of containers that will be on lease for one year or more. Short-term leases provide lessees with the ability to lease containers either for a fixed term of less than one year or without a fixed term on an as-needed basis, with flexible pick-up and drop-off of containers at depots worldwide, subject to certain restrictions. Finance leases are long-term lease contracts that generally grant the lessee the right to purchase the container at the end of the term for a nominal amount. As of September 30, 2012, 94.5% of our fleet, as measured in TEUs, was on lease, with 77.6% of these containers on long-term leases, 16.5% on short-term leases and 5.9% on finance leases, with the average remaining lease term for all long-term and finance leases of 35 months. As of November 27, 2012, our total outstanding debt (including capital lease obligations and collateralized financing obligations) was approximately $1,015.7 million. Interest expense on such debt will be approximately $9.3 million per quarter assuming floating interest rates remain consistent with those at September 30, 2012 and including amortized closing fees and unused commitment fees. We manage containers for container investors under management agreements that cover portfolios of containers. Our management agreements have multiple year terms and provide that we receive a management fee based upon the actual rental revenue for each container less the actual operating expenses directly attributable to that container. We also receive fees for selling used containers on behalf of container investors. We have a global infrastructure with 16 offices in 12 countries and 239 third-party container depot facilities in 50 countries. As of September 30, 2012, we had 91 employees worldwide. ----- Our corporate headquarters and principal executive offices are located at Steuart Tower, 1 Market Plaza, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94105. Our telephone number is (415) 788-0100. Our U.S. branch offices are located in Charleston, South Carolina and Florham Park, New Jersey. We operate our business in 16 offices in 12 countries including the United States, and have agents in Asia, Europe, South Africa, Australia and South America. Our wholly-owned international subsidiaries are located in the United Kingdom, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Bermuda and Barbados. We also own 80% of CAIJ Ltd. in Japan. We maintain a website at www.capps.com.
