Great touch and very comfortable - Apr 24, 2012
Player: G Anderson (Washington, nj)
This shoe is very comfortable. The leather gives you a very good touch on the ball but is not to thin like some of the micro fiber equivalents.

No padding - Apr 11, 2012
Player: MH (New York CIty)
I agree with JM's review. Not sure why they removed the padding around the ankle/heel. I own five pairs of bomba 5 pros but these are very stiff and hurt your ankle. I liked the first model that came out with lots of padding and flexible. These shoes need quite some time to break in. I am not wearing them anymore.

Inside Ankles Beware - Feb 10, 2012
Player: JM (Boston, MA USA)
I've never had this issue before with any other cleats or turfs, but the synthetic material used along the inside near the interior ankle bone lacks the necessary padding to prevent cutting into skin. I'm literally bleeding after 10 minutes of running and cutting. I actually like these turfs- perfect sole for turf and nice feel on the ball, but unfortunately after 4 uses the cutting hasn't changed so I've got to upgrade.

Great Indoor Shoes - Feb 06, 2012
Player: hadmonster (SLC, UT)
Very little break-in time required. They felt ready to go out of the box. I've used these shoes for my games on "long" turf and they've provided excellent traction. I ordered a half size up from what I normally wear and they fit almost perfect.

A bit small. - Jan 11, 2012
Player: Benni Hanna (Utah)
This shoe runs small and is narrow. I own the 90's, tempo's, and ctr's and this one is the smallest and most narrow of the lot. Order .5 size larger.

One such talented actor is Rajev Paul, who is also an author of the book 'Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai'. The book has been read and appreciated by many readers and celebs including Sonu Niigam, Juhi Chawla, Talat Aziz and Satish Kaushik. Interestingly, the celebs have also paid rich tributes and highly recommend this book to poetry lovers.
Adding more to the list is the king of Bollywood, actor Shahrukh Khan, who is currently reading 'Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai'. When we asked Rajev Paul, he says, "I have known Shahrukh from quite a long time now, so I just gifted him a copy of my book. At first, he was surprised to know that I've written a book of poetry. Then he asked me about its sales and how has been the response so far. He was stunned when I told him we've sold more than 20,000 copies which is huge for a poetry book in Hindi."
The actor also went on to say, "Shahrukh is an avid reader and loved Javed Sahab's Tarkash, however now he is reading the one written by me. Shahrukh loved the title of my book 'Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai' and also wished me good luck that the numbers grow further."
Happy with the response, Rajev expresses his gratitude, as he says, "I am humbled and honored by the number of people who write to me on email and Facebook. Having read so many books till date, I have written to only two of my favorite authors Paulo Cohelo and Deepak Chopra. So I'm sure people do not generally address to the writers in person. So when I come across appreciations and feedback from army officers, doctors, bankers, house-wives, college students, I feel blessed."
Though 'Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai' is a very good portrayal of love and loneliness, actor-turned poet Rajev Paul is all geared up with his new book. "My new book will be a killer", promises the talented actor.
"I am looking forward for yet another challenging role"

Thanks for your interesting and well thought out question.
In the few instances where the property is not being offered for sale as FeeSimple, it is usually highlighted by the listing agent in the description in those properties. Because the exceptions to FeeSimple are so few, and most home buyers do not search by lease type (instead opting to search by the number of bedrooms and bathrooms for example) we let the agents specify when their properties lie outside the FeeSimple norm.
If you have any more questions, just let me know!
Andrew Wilkinson
Community Manager, Trulia Voices
There is a State law that says for any real-estate advertisement or promotional material of Leasehold property that the word "Leasehold" be plainly stated in the ad. There is no such law for fee simple property. So when you see any advertisement/promotional material for real-estate in Hawaii without "leasehold" stated then it should be known to be fee simple. Of course there are scofflaws and some may not even realize what the law is. If you are aware of a violation to this requirement then you may bring this to the attention of the Real Estate Commission.
Please consider me if you are a Buyer or Seller who is looking for that intuitive Realtor to help you purchase or sell your Hawaii property. Please contact me: JJ Jasinski, Realtor at Clark Realty Corp. Hilo,
(808) 985-9030, or email: email@example.com
Mahalo and Aloha! JJ
Trulia identifies properties all over America. Hawaii is one state that had a lot of lease hold which is not true of the rest of the US. Trulia is not the most acurate place to find real estate information. Often, they are off in value and many times property is undercontract or has sold. For best results contact a local real estate agent for the most up to date and accurate information. Feel free to call me for any question in regards to real estate in Hawaii.

The reason is that not all fields "map across" from all the various MLS databases (such as Hawaii) to different databases, such as Hawaii. If you see a 1 bedroom for less than $100,000 or a 2 BR for less than $200,000, chances are it is leasehold.
In any case, feel free to call or email any time, would be happy to set up a search or answer any questions.

This is why you should go to a local REALTOR for all your questions and answers about Hawaii real estate. Zillow, Trulia, REaltyTrac are all shades of the same thing. THey are trying to grab the consumer/buyer/seller and sell that access back to the agents.
Cut out the middle men and go straight to the source, LOCAL AGENTS. We are the ones that are in the trenches everyday and know each building and neighborhood intimately. Often we have seen the same units or homes that have sold before and we know the history and potential problems. Something that a data aggregator could never tell you.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you, the Hawaii market is amazing right now, prices are back to 2007 prices in many areas, financing is cheap and the prices are starting back up.
Let me know if I can be of assistance to you. My Ipad/Iphone app shows every MLS unit on market. As does my google map driven search on my website. IT is all free to use as much as you want.
Just give me a call when it is time to get serious and get some answers to your questions.

Thunder: Kevin Durant benefits from 'Derrick Rose rule'
Kevin Durant's new contract has kicked in.
And it contains the 5 percent bump permissible under the so-called Derrick Rose rule.
That means Durant is earning 30 percent of the salary cap rather than the previous maximum allowable allotment of 25 percent. To put that raise in perspective, Durant will now collect more than $2.5 million more per season than he would have had his extension taken effect under the previous collective bargaining agreement.
It's a difference of at least $12.5 million over the life of the five-year deal. The exact amount of Durant's new contract is unclear. It is largely dependent on both Durant's first-year maximum salary — which the league determines by a different salary cap calculation as opposed to a simple 30 percent share — and whether other details such as the percentage of annual raises have been grandfathered into the contract.
But what's clear is the Thunder ended up being big losers.
Oklahoma City gets to hold onto Durant for another five seasons. But to do it, the Thunder, out of the blue, now has to pay more than the franchise initially projected.
It represents yet another blow to the small market boys that the five-month lockout was billed as being there to protect. You can add the amnesty clause and the two-year wait for a more punitive luxury tax to take effect to the list as well. Both give big-market, high-spending teams opportunities to right their wrongs and retain their competitive advantages, something which was supposed to be curtailed following the labor dispute.
The Thunder has expressed and displayed its commitment to keeping its players. But the new rules have made that harder than ever. And the Rose rule could have the biggest impact.
The rule was included in the new CBA to adequately compensate players like Durant and Rose, the Chicago point guard who led his team to a league-best 62 wins last season. Both had tremendous success while playing on their relatively budget-friendly rookie contracts.
To qualify for the bonus, a player must be named league MVP, be voted in as starter to two All-Star games or earn All-NBA honors twice within his first four seasons. Rose won MVP last year, while Durant has been an All-NBA First Team selection each of the past two seasons. Thunder guard Russell Westbrook would be eligible for the same bump if he's named to an All-NBA team this season.
The problem, at least in Oklahoma City, is the provision puts pressure on the Thunder. Rather than help the franchise retain its two young stars, it could soon hamstring OKC and prevent it from fielding a quality cast to surround them with.
The institution of the Rose rule represents a clear rise in contract values at a time when the luxury tax is set to stiffen. That change creates a huge challenge in Oklahoma City, where available advertising dollars and revenue from the team's television contract are both a fraction of those in larger markets.
Now, there are two significant questions going forward. How will the Thunder continue to compete, and how much will it cost?

Khronos has posted slide presentations from GDC 2011 online. Included in the DevU presentations are COLLADA, Mobile, OpenCL, OpenVG and WebGL.
K-3D 3D modeling and animation software offers COLLADA support
K-3D is free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling and animation software. It features a plugin-oriented procedural engine for all of its content, making K-3D a very versatile and powerful package. K-3D excels at polygonal modeling, and includes basic tools for NURBS, patches, curves and animation.
WebGL and COLLADA feedback from around the web
Our announcements yesterday about WebGL and COLLADA, were at the very least, significant. Feedback from around the web has been really great, just to name a few:
- cnet discuss' Microsoft and Adobe molehill in WebGL 1.0 is done. Where's Microsoft?
- On the facebook developer blog, you can see WebGL benchmark results from their JSGameBench
- See past and present of 3D on the web with PC Magazine, from VRML to WebGL
- Khronos didn't stop to celebrate WebGL, and pushed on to WebCL says TechConnect Magazine
- ...last but certainly far from least, Learning WebGL does a short take on all the news WebGL specification 1.0 is final — and also, WebCL?
WebCL speculations around the net
ConceivablyTech posted a good review of the WebGL 1.0 Spec release news and followed it up with their own speculation on WebCL. "Enabled in a browser, WebCL could open an entirely new world for cloud applications at much higher performance levels. Khronos mentioned image and video processing as well as advanced physics for web games that could come alive through WebCL."
Khronos Group Releases Free COLLADA Conformance Test Suite
The Khronos™ Group today announced that it is making the COLLADA™ 1.4 Conformance Test Suite available free of charge to all developers. COLLADA is an open, XML-based industry standard that enables assets to be freely interchanged between 3D authoring applications which can then be mixed and matched in powerful combinations. The COLLADA test suite is a comprehensive set of over 500 detailed tests and a scripted framework that rigorously exercises applications that import and export COLLADA assets to ensure that they can reliably participate in a COLLADA-based toolchain.

I had problems - Orico resolved them - READ ON, PLEASE 03/02/2013
This review is from: Orico H7988-U3-BK 7-Port USB 3.0 HUB - Black
***** I returned this item ******
So why the 5 eggs?
Orico Tech Support is excellent these days. They have changed, in case you have read derogatory comments about them in the recent past.
Orico tech support pounced on my RMA request. A couple of dozen emails later, they have taught me the ins and outs of USB 3.0 hubs vs cards in relation to which mobos.
I ended up buying their 5/7 port PCI card which worked flawlessly right out of the box.
They even stated that another vendor's card should co-exist with theirs. Great outfit to deal with.
In the long run, this was a GREAT purchase even though I had to be taught a thing or to. (Somewhat humbling to a know-it-all like me.)
Thanks, ORICO!
Yes, I would definitely buy from them again.
Oh, in fact, I did.
I did have to swap it out for another of their products but ended up happier than a GEICO customer.

How to Make a BB Pistol More Powerful
So, you've got your spring BB pistol, but want more power? No problem. With these simple steps it will be done in no time, and your gun will be at least 1.6 times more powerful. Plus, it's very easy and simple to do.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Take off the slider off your pistol (you know, the sliding part with which you cock the pistol).
2See the spring going in some kind of cylinder at the back of the pistol which sits above the magazine? The thing that loads bullet into the barrel? You need to take that cylinder out, and put something in it (preferably paper) so that the spring has less place to stretch thus giving it more potential energy which translates into more speed of your bullets.
3Put everything back and enjoy your new modified powerful pistol.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- This can be done with big rifle BB guns, but those are rather complex to put back, so if you're not sure if you can put it back, it's just best to leave it alone.
- Don't put too much paper or else you won't be able to cock the pistol.
- This will shorten the lifespan of your BB pistol.
- Don't shoot at glass (ESPECIALLY NOT at light bulbs)!
- Obey the law! Don't shoot at people or animals etc.
Things You'll Need
- BB pistol
- Pieces of paper

I have the specialized tri cross and I run 700x35 tires. I ride a rail trail and get puncture flats often
I have the specialized tri cross and I run 700x35 tires. I ride a rail trail and get puncture flats often
Presta valve thorn resistant? and Schwalbe Marathon Plus.. all that will ad weight ,
but that only matters starting and climbing ...railbeds are always very slight sloped
because trains dont climb steep (without a cog wheel track down the center) ,
and they never built those in the states. OK there is the Cable Cars in SF.

Thank you for your response. I ride year round and I hate to change a flat when it is below 35 degrees f.
If you don't need any tread, the Rivendell Jack Brown Blues might be a good choice. I've the JB Greens (with thinner tread and no lining) and the measure 35 mm wide on Open Pro rims. No flats in 1,500 miles of riding on roads, paved and unpaved trails. The Jack Browns roll very nice for a wide tire and are reasonably light.
I have run tires from 23mm for road riding to 43's on our local rail trail. I got my 43 mm.
Bruce Gordon rock and road are the 43mm. It is amazing how comfortable the 43mm are
The Vittoria Voyager Hyper has been flat free for me. It's a slick that does well on gravel with a smooth ride and plenty of speed.
When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.

One of the truly win-win aspects of the hunting season is Hunters for Hungry. Through this program, hunters donate part of their harvest to be processed and shared with food banks.
A bill approved unanimously by the Indiana Senate last week would set aside more money for the state's Sportsmans Benevolence Fund, an account that has the ability to pay to process meat from hundreds of deer. The measure now goes to the House.
State Sen. Mike Crider, R-Greenfield, the bill's author, said most hunters can use only one deer a year to feed their families. Those who kill more deer than they plan to eat can donate them for processing. The program can provide about 500,000 meals a year to hungry Hoosiers across the state.
The state even allows extra deer tags to be issued when the meat is to be donated. This allows the hunters to remain in the fields longer in a season and further helps with the harvest. So in effect, this is even a win-win-win situation.
Crider, a former Department of Natural Resources director, set up the fund in 2008. But since then only donations have kept the fund going, and many people outside the hunting community don't even know about the program.
The bill would give the fund enough financial footing to make it well-known and beneficial, Crider said.
The money would go to state-certified butchers across the state. The DNR will advertise the program heavily through its website.
Since 2008, about $42,000 has been donated to the fund to process the deer meat, or venison. But Crider's bill asks for an annual state appropriation of $150,000. Since each deer yields about 200 meals and costs between $50 and $70 to process, Crider estimates the program would provide up to a half-million meals to the needy each year.
"The amount of money we're talking about currently is what I felt like was the minimal amount to really determine how successful this program can be statewide," Crider said.
The exact dollar figure for the bill hasn't been approved, Crider said. Because the measure would have to be written into the state budget, requests for money will be ironed out toward the end of the legislative session.
This measure addresses the problem of hunger in Indiana in a unique and relatively inexpensive way. In addition, it further helps control the state's deer population, which is an ongoing issue.
The additional incentive would not lead to over-harvesting, as the DNR has mechanisms in place to control the hunt and the harvest.
The state's Sportsmans Benevolence Fund has long been a positive force in the hunting community. With additional and ongoing support from the state, the program can have a significant impact in helping feed the needy.
We urge the House to pass the measure and Gov. Mike Pence to sign it. Then at budget-writing time, the exact amount of support can be worked out.

Stir fried mussels and shiitake mushrooms with oyster sauce
There's more to mussels than making a soup or baking them on the half shell to make delicious finger food. Mussels are so versatile that you can turn them into just about anything, including pasta dishes (see the list after the recipe), omelets and stir fries.
This stir fried dish combines mussels with shiitake mushrooms to make a hearty low-fat main dish. The mussels are steamed until they open and they are added to the rest of the ingredients at the last minute to make sure they don't get overcooked.
Stir fried mussels and shiitake mushrooms with oyster sauce
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
The prep time excludes soaking time.
Yield / servings: 4
- ½ kilo of fresh mussels, soaked and "beards" pulled out (see post on soaking molluscs)
- 1 tbsp. of vegetable cooking oil
- 1 small onion, finely sliced
- 1 tsp. of minced garlic
- 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
- 4 to 5 shiitake mushrooms (if using dried, soak them first until rehydrated), stems discarded and caps sliced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsps. of oyster sauce
- a drizzle of sesame seed oil
- chopped greens (scallions, parsley or cilantro), for garnish
- Place the mussels in a large shallow heat-proof bowl. Steam over briskly boiling water just until the shells open, about five minutes (see post on steaming). Remove immediately from the heat. Drain. Save the liquid in the bowl.
- Cool the mussels a bit then discard the empty half of the shells.
- Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan.
- Saute the onion for half a minute. Add the garlic and continue sauteing for another half a minute.
- Add the carrot, celery and mushroom caps. Pour in the liquid from the mussels. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, uncovered, until most of the liquid has been soaked up by the mushrooms.
- Add the mussels to the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour in the oyster sauce. Stir fry just until the mussels are heated through. Turn off the heat. Drizzle in the sesame seed oil.
- Transfer to a platter. Garnish with chopped greens. Serve immediately.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said on Wednesday that he is still unclear as to whether free agent forward Kevin Garnett will re-sign with the Celtics, but expects to know before July 1 when the team can begin negotiations with other free agents.
"We're having a conversation with Kevin, but we don't have any answers on whether he's coming back or not," Ainge told reporters at the Celtics' practice facility in Waltham. "I'll know that by July 1. I'll be in communication with him and I'll have some sort of read on that and a better feel."
Ainge said he isn't rushing Garnett to make a decision, despite the fact that he's still the most important piece the team needs to establish before they openly pursue other players.
"There's no deadline with Kevin," Ainge said. "Kevin's the only free agent we have that we can talk to now. We don't have to wait until July 1 because he's eligible for an extension, but the rest of the players we have to wait until July 1."
Ainge said he still believes Garnett isn't considering playing for another team, believing he'll either choose the Celtics or retirement.
"I think so," Ainge said when asked about it being between the Celtics and retirement for Garnett. "As of right now, yeah."

Today's pop-culture roundup includes a long tongue, Beyonce and a big award, Larry David and Broadway, a high-flying Priince Willian, our mystery music video and much more.
GENE SIMMONS ON 'REDSKINS' NAME: The "Kiss" front man was asked about it during a wide-ranging interview, per the Wall Street Journal, "Well, look. There's sports, there's business and then there are people. As a Jew, I wouldn't be thrilled as "The Kikes." And if you're black, you wouldn't be thrilled with a football team called "The Blacks." I could use a worse word. Because "Redskins" was what the white man called them. So I understand if you're a sports fan and if you're white, you go "Hey, what's the problem? We have a long history." But if you're an Indian, think about it. White dudes don't have to worry about that stuff because [they] were always the majority in imperialist countries of the world. "Cracker" means nothing to white people. They had all the money and the power."
If people are talking about your brand as being racist, is that bad for business?
"Bad for business? I don't know. But whether or not it's bad for business or not, you've got to make the change. It was launched at a time when white people weren't sensitive to the idea that you're actually insulting an entire race of people." http://on.wsj.com/V4slGG
BEYONCE AND THE VMA: Of a high honor, per The Hollywood Reporter, "It's going to be a big night for Beyonce at the MTV Video Music Awards.
"The 32-year-old singer will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, equivalent to a career achievement honor, and also will take the stage at the ceremony for what MTV is describing as an "epic" performance, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The VMAs will be broadcast from Inglewood, Calif.'s renovated venue The Forum on Sunday, Aug. 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV." http://bit.ly/1slj3Bi
QUITE A LINEUP: Led by a comedian, per the Los Angeles Times, "Fred Armisen has been known to garner a number of notable musicians for cameos in his humorous IFC skit-show "Portlandia." Now, the seasoned comedian is forming a rock supergroup for one Troubadour show on Sept. 14.
"The group, Dead Men Walking, will consist of the Living End's Chris Cheney, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, the Damned's Captain Sensible, Mike Peters of the Alarm and the Stray Cats' Slim Jim Phantom. They're slated to perform both original material and "old favorites." More special guests have been promised, opening up countless possibilities with Armisen's comedic and musical backgrounds. Before his 11 years on "Saturday Night Live," Armisen was the drummer in Trenchmouth, a Chicago-based punk rock band, in the early '90s." http://lat.ms/X4c46w
LARRY DAVID: Hits Broadway, per the New York Times, "The comedian and actor Larry David, the star of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and the Emmy Award-winning co-creator and head writer of "Seinfeld," will make his Broadway debut this winter in his first play "Fish in the Dark."
"In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Mr. David said that the play was a comedy about a death in a family, with about 15 characters, and that he was playing "somebody very similar to Larry David - it might even be Larry David with a different name." '' http://nyti.ms/1kKSgQb
'BATMAN V SUPERMAN': And "Captain America 3," per The Wrap, "Just days after Marvel showed the strength of its brand with a $94 million haul for "Guardians of the Galaxy," Warner Bros. has decided to release "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" in 3D on March 25, 2016, avoiding a high-profile showdown with "Captain America 3" on May 6, 2016.
" "Batman v Superman" is viewed as the cornerstone of Warner's DC Comics Universe and the studio couldn't afford to leave anything to chance with its release date. It was inevitable that one studio would blink, as it never made sense for Hollywood to open two blockbuster superhero movies against each other." http://bit.ly/1lBaXAG
THE ROYALS: And a pilot, per People, "Prince William has a new job: air ambulance helicopter pilot. He will join the East Anglian Air Ambulance, his office has confirmed to PEOPLE.

DURHAM, N.H. (AP) — Kevin Decker had 335 yards of total offense and the go-ahead touchdown to lead New Hampshire over Rhode Island 31-24 on Saturday.
Trailing 24-21 with 5:51 left in the third quarter, Decker led a six-play, 68-yard drive, capped by his 1-yard TD run.
Decker was 14 of 21 for 257 yards and ran for another 78 on 12 carries.
After Decker put the Wildcats (6-2, 4-1 Colonial Athletic Association) ahead 28-24 late in the third quarter, the Rams drove within field goal range.
Rhode Island's Louis Feinstein, however, missed the 44-yard kick giving it back to the Wildcats. On the ensuing drive New Hampshire kicked a field goal of its own, good for 28 yards by Mike MacArthur for the final margin.
Robert Bentsen led the Rams (2-6, 1-4) with 240 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 20 of 31 passing.

May the Floss be with you?
I'm beginning this blog post under the assumption that the average Science Based Medicine reader is more intelligent, more motivated, and more health conscious than your typical Jane or Joe Blow. As such, most of you probably visit your friendly neighborhood dentist for cleanings and checkups twice a year just like the toothpaste manufacturers American Dental Association recommends. And if you're like 99% of the patients my dental hygienists and I see in my practice, you get encouraged/chided/scolded to floss more. Because we all know no one flosses like they're supposed to and that flossing is absolutely the best thing a person can do for his or her oral health, right? We even have posters that have witty quips like "Only Floss Those Teeth You Want To Keep!" Pretty clever, huh? You have to get up pretty early in the morning to be funnier than a dentist. (more…)

Two more single-family home subdivisions in unincorporated Clark County — a 36-acre project with eight "cluster lots" and a nine-lot housing development — are in the preliminary review process through the county's Community Development Department.
The eight-cluster-lot proposal would be called Allworth Valley Estates. It is located off Northeast Allworth Road and would subdivide approximately 36 acres.
A cluster subdivision generally sites houses on smaller parcels of land, while converting the additional land to common shared open space for the project's residents. The nine-lot proposal is to subdivide 2.77 acres in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood for a project called Richardson Subdivision.

[Excerpts from Ramadan in the West Bank, 2007, Eva Bartlett]
It is 10 pm and the blistering desert-like heat has dissipated into an evening cool which sees the residents of Palestinian Susiya, in the South Hebron Hills, wrapped under heavy covers on their sleeping mats inside weathered tents. Most went to bed two hours ago, and only the stars and the bright spotlights of the illegal Jewish colony over the hills compete for attention.
Across a horizon of cacti silhouettes, larger forms are moving, creeping towards the tents. From the shadows, shapes take form: 8 fully-armed Israeli soldiers from the neighbouring military base, bee-lining across the land of the family I am sleeping with. I sleep there to document, and hopefully dissuade, attacks and aggressions by Israeli settlers and soldiers. The soldiers march straight on, ignoring attempts to question them: "Why have you come so late at night? What are you looking for? Why are you terrorizing these children?" In Hebrew the commander orders his subordinates not to speak with the international.
They poke their guns into a truck where two of the older children sit listening to the radio, unaware of the soldiers' presence until the butt of a rifle appears at their face.
The soldiers, having stirred up fear yet again on this family's patch of land, move down the hill and on towards the illegal colony, finished their arbitrary march.
It is just after 10 am in Susiya, an already-sweltering morning. The pre-dawn meal and water have long ago been had and the morning's tasks of grazing sheep and cleaning have been completed. Most of the family members are near the tents, some are inside chatting with visiting medical aid workers.
The soldiers come tromping. Six this time, again fully-armed and heads swivelling in suspicion. Again, they ignore my questions. This time they are more invasive: tents are entered, probing with rifles into corners. The troop heads in convoy down the thorny hillside and up to the neighbouring tents. Snooping more thoroughly, more intrusively, the soldiers perform their staged search, and a young mother gathers her toddlers around her protectively.
The soldiers continue to ignore me following behind them as they head down this hill and onto the next, repeating their performance. The road running from military base to illegal settlement lies to the side, off-limits to Palestinians, and un-used by the soldiers this day.
It is the 3rd day of Ramadan, and while I have been in these tents for the months leading up to the holy month, I have not seen this type of invasion, only the daily harassment on roads and in fields. I ask the soldiers why they've chosen to invade these days in particular. No reply.
Also during the last few days, Palestinians have had to contend with settlers' taunts and threats from their hillside colony. Eventually, settlers do come onto the young mother's land, terrifying her and her children, yelling obscenities at her. The soldiers have disappeared from their watch-post atop a neighbouring knoll.
Like most Palestinians, the families here never know where soldiers or settlers might appear. The psychological stress of uncertainty reveals itself in all aspects of Palestinians' daily lives, and seems more acute and unjust during Ramadan, when all should be celebrating.
Setter and soldier harassment subsided for the day, we return to the main tent, the sun readying to set, to break fast and sit down to a meal together. The meal –home-made sheep's cheese, olives, pickles, eggs, rice, and hobbez taboon flatbread, followed by grapes and figs from their land –tastes especially wonderful after the stress induced by our visitors. I'm again grateful for Palestinians' resilience and generosity.
Inside a small Nablus grocery store, hours after Iftar, the store-owner stands smiling and chatting with neighbours.
Zafer is maybe in his fifties, and is wearing the more traditional jalabiya, the robe that many don during Ramadan. Another older man smiles in the background and seizes the chance to speak when Zafer pauses. "Sport?" he asks, pointing at my track pants. I explain they are comfortable and were given to me. He asks my pants' size and beckons me to the back of the store where he has a pile of jeans, new. He wants me to take one, two pairs.
Zafer joins us at the back and begins pointing at, then opening, the freezers and boxes at the back. "This one is fish, this is chicken." He takes me into a store room a bit further back, opening more boxes which fill the room: "This is sugar, olive oil, tea, coffee, rice, salt…"
As he lists off the essential food ingredients, he pulls out a piece of paper, in Arabic, and explains: "every year, one rich man gives all this to the poor people of the area. Each box is worth about 180 shekels. Every year he asks me, 'How many poor families are there this year?' and writes me a check for the families. This year there are 30 in our neighbourhood, and 200 overall in areas around Nablus. We have food here for 200 families."
Each family receives 5 kilos of sugar, 5 kilos of rice, 1 kilo of tea, a 450g container of tahini, 2 large packages of dates…The list goes on: halwa, chickpeas, 1 kilo of meats, 2 kilos of fish…
My host explains that at Ramadan, every person becomes equal. Looking at a Ramadan for Dummies sort of website later, I read that the month of Ramadan is a time of self-reflection, to, among other things, focus on one's spirituality but also on one's relation to others. I leave with a trial pair of jeans, wondering what, if anything, I can give in return.
Iman welcomed me. It had been a few weeks since I'd been to his internet cafe.
"Eid mubarek," I wished him, this, the third and last day of Eid. I asked if it had been a good one.
"Good, yes, but not like in other countries. There's nothing for kids to do here. They can play computer games, but they can't go anywhere… even getting to Al Aqsa Mosque to pray is difficult-to-impossible for many. We have West Bank IDs; we can't go to Jerusalem."
I thought of Christmases as a child, of going on mini-vacations, going across the country to see relatives.
I saw the lines at checkpoints, particularly Qalendia, separating Jerusalem from Ramallah and leading away from most West Bank destinations.
I am wary of being trite when wishing a happy Ramadan, happy Eid, nice day, to Palestinians who would be most happy if they were allowed to move freely in their own land.

Clerodendrum thomsoniae
Bleeding heart vine or glory bower
Plantidotian ydrasl spotted this spectacular flowering vine growing all over Key West and tracked down the details just for us! A member of the verbena family, bleeding heart vine can be grown in the garden or in a hanging basket in warm climates (USDA zones 9 - 12). If you live in an area where winter temperatures go below freezing, consider moving. Or grow the vine in a container (preferably with a trellis or something to climb on) that can be brought inside during cold spells.
Bleeding heart vines like a lot of sunshine and water, but in exchange they provide nearly year round red, purplish or white blossoms and loads of them. BTW, this bleeding heart is not related to the bleeding heart plant, which is in a different family (Dicentra). Which we all knew already, right?

Healthy Winter Produce
As each year ends, a new season arrives. And with it a supply of fresh ingredients that offer you comfort from the cold. From hardy root vegetables to bright, sweet citrus, winter produce delivers a surprising range of flavors for you to enjoy with family and friends.
Blood OrangesBlood oranges are best eaten fresh—out-of-hand, or in salads, salsas, or marmalades. The two most popular varieties are the dark-fleshed Moro, which is available from December through March, and the delicately flavored Tarocco, which you can find from January through May.
To select, pick those that are firm to the touch and heavy for their size. Avoid any fruits with mold or spongy spots.
• Beet, Blood Orange, Kumquat, and Quinoa Salad
• Blood Orange Sangria
• Fennel, Blood Orange, and Watercress Salad
• Blood Orange Layer Cake
• Shrimp Salad with Blood Oranges and Slivered Fennel
See More: Season's Best: Citrus Fruits
BeetsFresh beets are now commonplace on fine-restaurant menus. With hues ranging from yellow to purple, they lend themselves to dramatic presentations.
To select, choose small to medium beets with firm, smooth skin and no soft spots, with stems and leaves attached.
• Easy Pickled Beets
• Beets with Dill and Walnuts
• Spiced Beet and Carrot Soup
• Golden Beet, Greens, and Potato Torta
• Roasted Carrot and Beet Salad with Feta, Pulled Parsley, and Cumin Vinaigrette
See More: In Season: Beets
PomegranatesAlthough the membranes of pomegranates are bitter and inedible, the pulp and seeds contribute a juicy, sweet-tart flavor to many winter recipes.
To select, choose pomegranates that feel heavy, are bright in color, and are free of blemishes.
• Pomegranate and Pear Jam
• Pomegranate-Orange Salsa
• Sparkling Pomegranate Cocktail
• Blackened Shrimp with Pomegranate-Orange Salsa
• Pineapple and Orange Salad with Toasted Coconut
See More: Pomegranate Power
KumquatsFresh kumquats are in season as early as October and as late as June, but they're most plentiful from December through April.
To select, test with a gentle squeeze, and buy only firm fruit.
• Kumquat-Cranberry Cornmeal Loaf
• Cranberry-Kumquat-Date Relish
• Kumquat Jam
• Pepper-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Kumquat Marmalade
• Pear Relish
See More: In Season: Kumquats
TurnipsOften called winter greens, turnip greens are actually available almost year-round. But in deep winter, they become sweeter. The greens aren't the only good product of this vegetable, however. The roots can be boiled and mashed or roasted and pureed; they can also be cubed and tossed with butter or used raw in salads.
• Roasted Winter Vegetables
• Beer-Braised Beef with Onion, Carrot, and Turnips
• Spicy-Sweet Turnips
• Guinness Lamb Stew
• Chickpea and Winter Vegetable Stew
LeeksAlthough leeks resemble large green onions, they're milder and sweeter. Leeks are usually cooked since they're very fibrous when raw.
To select, buy leeks with crisp leaves and blemish-free stalks.
• Braised Leeks with Warm Pancetta Dressing
• Leeks à la Grecque (Greek-Style Leeks)
• Halibut with Leeks
• Chicken Fried Rice with Leeks and Dried Cranberries
• Creamed Corn with Bacon and Leeks
ParsnipsThis hardy root vegetable enjoys cool climates—it requires frost to convert its starches to sugars and to develop its sweet, nutty flavor.
To select, look for small to medium-sized parsnips with beige skin. They should be blemish-free and firm.
• Pasta with Black Kale, Caramelized Onions, and Parsnips
• Roasted Root Vegetables
• Chicken and Parsnip Soup
• Roasted Vegetable Couscous with Chickpeas and Onion–Pine Nut Topping
• Crispy Root Vegetable Latkes with Beet Puree
See More: In Season: Parsnips
KaleConsider using kale as a stand-in for spinach in other dishes. Its sturdy leaves are excellent sautéed and added to casseroles.
To select, look for a deep blue-green color and choose small bunches devoid of any signs of wilting or discoloration.
• Bacon and Butternut Pasta
• Garbanzo Beans and Greens
• Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Kale, Poached Eggs, and Toasted Breadcrumbs
• Apple-Walnut Kale Salad
• Braised Chicken with Kale
See More: 14 Kale Recipes
CranberriesUnlike any other fruits, cranberries need to be cooked to release their full flavor and to absorb that of other ingredients—one of which is sugar.
To select, you probably won't be able to choose them individually, so check the see-through plastic to make sure you get bright, intensely colored berries.
• Cranberry, Cherry, and Walnut Chutney
• Classic Cranberry Sauce
• Upside-Down Cranberry-Ginger Cake
• Orange-Cranberry Pork Stew
• Cranberry Curd
See More: Cranberry Sauce and Relish Recipes
LemonsWhether you use the juice, the zest (rind), or the slices, the acidity of lemon adds to the balance of flavor in all types of food.
To select, look for smooth, brightly-colored skin (green means under-ripe), and lemons that feel heavy for their size.
• Meyer Lemon Chicken
• Lemon-Earl Grey Squares
• Meyer Lemon Panna Cotta
• Lemony Chicken Saltimbocca
• Seriously Lemon Tart
See More: 10 Things to Know About Lemons
OrangesWhether sectioned, sliced, juiced, or zested, these juicy fruits are a kitchen staple.
To select, choose firm oranges that have smooth skins and are not moldy. Don't worry about brown patches on the skin; this does not indicate poor quality.
• Oranges with Caramel and Cardamom Syrup
• Broccoli Slaw with Oranges and Crunchy Noodles
• Pineapple and Orange Salad with Toasted Coconut
• Tomato-Citrus Salmon
• Tuscan Cake with Citrus Compote
Winter Produce Guide
Let the recipes of winter warm you with hardy root vegetables, tangy cranberries, robust greens, and citrus fruits.

Cobbled together by our friends at Media Matters.
From Tea Partiers to Fox News to the NFL referees strike, The Daily Show's most British correspondent gets the story every time.
Fox's Erick Erickson: "When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and female in society, and the other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female, it's not antithesis, or it's not competing, it's a complimentary role. We as people in a smart society have lost the ability to have complimentary relationships in nuclear families, and it's tearing us apart."
Crazy town... just so you know this stuff is out there so you can debate conspiracy theorists and continue to iignore Fox News.
Following the Boston bombing, the freedom lovers at Fox jettison Constitutional amendments like Han Solo dumping his cargo at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.
Remember when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) stood up on the Senate floor for nearly 13 hours in an ideological protest of the Obama administration's hypothetical authority to use drone technology to kill U.S. citizens on American soil? Well, now he's saying killing a certain U.S. citizen on some specific American soil in Watertown, Massachusetts last Friday may not have been the worst thing in the world.
During an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business Network Monday night, Paul attempted to make a distinction between the American "sitting in a caf" example he has often cited and the "imminent threat" faced by Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Friday night. "I've never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on," Paul said. Though his next example offered up a disturbingly low bar for the predator drone option. "If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash," he said, "I don't care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him."
Ellison said, Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist Ive ever seen. Its absurd that you the worst.
The Fox and Friends crew welcomes Ted Nugent to break down President Obama's 2013 State of the Union and the gang dives into the European fast food horse meat scandal.

Fox News' misleading about solar energy and Germany.
Legendary talk show host Dick Cavett joins John Fugelsang on "Viewpoint" to consider a recent Public Policy poll that found "Democrats trust everything except Fox, and Republicans don't trust anything other than Fox."

Awkward minute for Fox News. Must be shortest time for a guest yet.
Bill sees the politics of 'personal destruction' continuing for U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice. He says he has never seen an uglier campaign than by Republicans and Fox News against Rice.

Community members are rallying to help after fire destroyed the Hawley family's Nanoose Bay home and business on Wednesday last week.
The day after the fire, Dave and Debra Kasprick, who run Red Cod Forge and Affinity Stone Jewellery & Design, respectively, set up a sign on Northwest Bay Road and sold their Valentine's Day products with all of the proceeds going to the Hawley family.
"On Thursday we decided that, hey, we gotta do something right?" recalls Dave.
For the Kaspricks, it was a chance to reciprocate the charity they received when Dave was injured in a motorcycle accident, leaving him out of work for two years.
"People did that for us," said Debra. "That was the saving grace, because we didn't have to sell our house, we didn't have to worry until everything was all sorted out. The same thing will happen with the Hawleys, too."
The Kaspricks feel the Hawleys are in particular need as the family now has no income.
"We just knew that we had to do this," Debra said.
They met Roland Hawley when he helped make cabinets in their home renovation. Since then, they've become good friends.
"He has such a good energy," said Dave. "He's one of those people that just touches you."
By Tuesday, Dave and Debra had raised $1,800, surpassing their original goal of $1,000 thanks in large part to one generous customer who donated an extra $500.
The two are keeping their businesses open and the fundraiser going until 4 p.m. this Saturday, Feb. 16. Dave and Debra's store can be found at 2155 Spur Place in Nanoose Bay.
Other fundraisers have taken place and more are expected. Follow the fundraising activities at 'Help the Hawleys' on Facebook.

A bloody handprint on top of a book marks the spot of the first clue. Within the book lies a message: "Many a man has lost his life. Upon my dagger a bloody knife. Though swear I saw them rise again … seeking flesh for mortal's sin. Find the bodies that I hide, stick your courage and crawl inside."
Time is ticking. The killer is coming. They must move on.
Seniors at Greenwood Community High School had 50 minutes to solve a murder mystery through the use of literary elements and clues made by English teacher Alicia Tersptra.
Throughout September, the students read and analyzed the famous Shakespeare play "Macbeth." The play begins with a trio of witches who deceive Macbeth in foretelling his future. In order to gain the throne, Macbeth kills off all who stand in his way.
After becoming King of Cumberland, he continues to murder all those who are suspicious of him. This knocks off the natural order of things and pushes his kingdom into chaos.
Like all tragic heroes, Macbeth leads himself to his ultimate doom, and he is killed. His fatal flaw: ambition.
But, unlike Macbeth, Terpstra would not be slain.
Tersptra led her students through a series of twists and turns throughout the school, including a blacked-out (and terrifying) auditorium with creepy circus music.
Clues written in poetic form were hidden for the students to find at each location, some hidden to the point of crawling with knee-pads in the dark with nothing but a UV flashlight.
She ended the activity back at her classroom, where she supplied her students with Nerf guns, ammunition and safety goggles.
The point of the activity was to allow her students to take what they had learned from "Macbeth" and just have fun with it.
Nerf darts fly; every classmate is for himself. The serial killer is revealed. Scene.

Personal shoppers give the royal treatment — for free
Trained fashionistas pick out clothes for your best looks, hoping to cement customer loyalty for retailers
Complimentary personal shopping
These stores offer free personal shopping service in San Diego:
Macy's By Appointment: at Fashion Valley store only, (619) 299-9811; email@example.com
Nordstrom Personal Stylist: at all locations, (877) 283-4048; nordstrom.com (click on "customer service")
Bloomingdale's At Your Service personal shoppers: Fashion Valley, (619) 610-6490; bloomingdales.com (click on "customer service")
J. Crew, Fashion Valley: (800) 261-7422; jcrew.com
Neiman Marcus: Fashion Valley (Neiman Marcus stores typically offer personal shopping service, but the position is currently unstaffed here), (619) 690-5600; neimanmarcus.com
Shopping like the rich and famous no longer requires you to be wealthy or even a red carpet regular. All you have to do is tap into one of department stores' best-kept secrets: personal shoppers.
At stores like Macy's and Nordstrom, squads of trained fashionistas can search the store to find you the best-fitting pants, coordinate head-to-toe ensembles, scout the sales with you in mind and even take charge of your gift list. And the most surprising part — the service is free.
Personal shoppers aren't just a convenience for the pampered or "ladies who lunch" crowd. Today, busy moms, recent college grads competing in the job market and an increasing number of men with an innate aversion to shopping are taking advantage of the complimentary service.
"I don't like spending a lot of time in stores, so when I found about this service, I said, 'This is for me,' " said Donell Johnson, a 42-year-old aviation industry manager from Mission Valley.
He has used Macy's By Appointment personal shopping service for about four years to purchase everything from business suits and ties to sunglasses and a watch. "Maurice (Norris, Macy's personal shopping manager) has gotten to know what I like. I'll call him and tell him I need a couple of dress shirts and he'll have 10 waiting for me in the fitting room, all different styles and fabrics. All I do is show up."
Even if you enjoy shopping and have great style sense, sometimes you just don't have the time to pull it all together. That's when you send out a personal shopper SOS, as Christine Hutchens of El Centro did recently.
"I was so busy planning a family cruise and my son's wedding in Aruba, that clothing was the last thing I had time to think about. So, I just called the personal shoppers (at Macy's Fashion Valley) and told them I was on my way," said the 61-year-old retired schoolteacher. "When I got there, the dressing room was filled with all kinds of lightweight clothing in my size and my colors and all I had to do was try things on."
Besides saving time and angst, it's the personal shopper's duty to help the style-challenged, those who don't know a blazer from a bolero. Sometimes it takes the nudge of a personal shopper to get people out of their fashion rut.
"Some clients use our service to get outside their comfort zone or bubble," said Kelly McPheters, a personal shopper for Nordstrom Fashion Valley, where they prefer to be called "personal stylists."
"One of the greatest compliments for a personal stylist is to have someone who's used our service say, 'Wow, I never would have picked that out for myself.' Part of my job is to show them they can feel and look amazing in their clothing," she said.
Setting retailers apart
Offering customers special services, such as complimentary personal shopping, not only creates solid customer loyalty, it also helps the retailer set itself apart from other stores — both necessary for success in this shaky economy.
"Resellers of branded products have to differentiate themselves from competitors that sell identical products," said Michael Capone, marketing professor at San Diego State University.
