did a parallel install of 10.4 LTS today, used jaunty (9.04) until now. Had no problems with the system, just out of date.
The new installed system freezes every few minutes, even if I just start the system (auto log on). I use the INTEL GMA 950 onboard graphic. I heard of problems with some kernels with this chipsset, newer kernels should have this issue fixed - but I had a stable system using jaunty...
Is there a solution other than stick to 9.04?

"Have Your Breasts Always Looked Like That?"
My mother was a woman of large and voluptuous personality, the kind of person who fills up a room when she walks into it. Her body was large and voluptuous too, which left her an intermittent if never particularly successful dieter. But there was one body part -- two, actually -- in which she seemed to glory: her breasts.
In our family, the story was told of how she battled the maternity ward nurses in Exeter, New Hampshire, where she gave birth in 1953, for the right to breastfeed her daughter. That baby was me.
For all my years of growing up, my mother possessed a prodigiously energetic style of demonstrating her love (the kind that seemed to burst out of her dress and spill onto you), and even after I'd grown up and left home, she didn't let up a whole lot in the mothering department. Being the recipient of all this attention and affection was a mixed blessing, but this much I knew: There was no more comforting place to be than pressed against her bosom. It probably says something about my marriage that, even into my 20s and 30s, this continued to be true.
On Mother's Day of 1989, I got a phone call telling me that my gloriously robust 66-year-old mother was suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. Within the hour I'd hired a babysitter to help my husband take care of our three children -- ages 5, 7, and 11 -- and flew to Toronto to care for her in what turned out to be the last summer of her life.
One afternoon, the two of us were out on her patio, soaking up the sun. I had taken off my shirt, and my mother leaned over from her wheelchair and studied me hard. She said, "Have your breasts always looked like that?"
Well, no, they hadn't. Although, unlike her, I'd always been small-breasted, I had, like her, enthusiastically nursed all of my children -- and I had the droopy chest to prove it.
But there was no time, just then, to grieve over my breasts; I was too busy grieving for my mother. And for my marriage. My husband and I had been going through hard times for months (truthfully, years) before her diagnosis; now, facing the loss of my mother, I wanted desperately to salvage my relationship. I flew home partway through the summer for what was meant to be a romantic weekend with my husband at a little bed-and-breakfast, but the trip didn't go well. Sitting across from me at a restaurant in the picturesque town of Newfane, Vermont, watching as a single tear flowed down my cheek and splashed onto a very good cut of untouched steak, my husband had regarded me, not unkindly, but much as an interviewer would in the moments before easing out a job candidate who was not going to be hired. "I'm sorry, Joyce," he'd said. "I just don't have anything for you."
My mother died that October, around the time I learned that my husband had fallen in love with our babysitter. So my mother was dead and my marriage was over, and I found myself, at 35, entering what I look back on as the darkest, loneliest season of my life.
My mother was nowhere close to being wealthy, but she left me some money and I used it in a number of odd ways to relieve the grief that seemed about to pull me under. I joined the Y and swam laps like a woman training for a channel crossing. I bought a great many CDs. I purchased tinted contact lenses to change my eyes from brown to green, and when the world looked no different, I tried purple ones. In the new house I'd found, I installed a very fancy kind of shower, in which the water squirted out from all directions. None of this did the trick.
I did acquire a boyfriend, however. And sometime that winter, I found myself lying naked beside him as he looked over at my breasts with a faintly troubled expression. "Not that you need it," he said. "But have you ever considered cosmetic surgery?"
From that moment on, I thought of nothing but. At the Y, I studied the breasts of women in the locker room with as much attention as any man has ever given any breast -- analyzing size and shape and the various ways they might sit on a woman's chest, other than how mine did, which now struck me as a metaphor for how I was feeling: deflated (empty, in fact) and heading in a steadily downward direction.
The Implants
If I had been living in New York City -- or, god knows, Los Angeles -- this would be a different story. But my kids and I made our home in a small town in New Hampshire, inhabited mostly by married types more likely to spend their extra cash, if they had any, on a cord of wood or a new belt for the tractor. To my knowledge, I had never met anyone who had visited a cosmetic surgeon. So I did what we all did in the days before the Internet: I consulted the Yellow Pages.
Three days later, I was driving two and a half hours south to Boston and sitting in the office of a doctor whose name began with A. Because I was a bit unsure about this implant business, I asked him how large my bust would be if I had the surgery, explaining that -- except for the brief period in which I'd nursed my babies -- I had never been a large-breasted person and that becoming one was not my objective now. Firmness, perkiness, and a certain reversal of gravity were what I was after.
The doctor told me that it was impossible to know in advance of the surgery exactly what size implant my case would require, but not to worry: My breasts were going to be terrific. I'd love them and no doubt others would too. He brought his nurse into the room, and she unbuttoned her shirt to show me the breasts he'd surgically provided for her. They were impressive. Three days later, I was heading down to Boston again, writing a rather large check from my modest inheritance fund and climbing onto the operating table.
When I woke up, I was heavily bandaged. It was only after I got home and unwound myself (in the company of my boyfriend) that I could look at the results. The sight was astonishing.
Perched on my 110-pound frame was a pair of size 40 breasts. I could have carried an entire tea service on them. All the old metaphors used to describe the type of breasts I'd never before possessed made perfect sense. They jutted out like the proverbial set of headlights or a pair of melons glued to my chest. For the first time, I understood the use of the term rack. These were breasts a person could hang a hat on.
You might think I was horrified, and no doubt I should have been. But the truth is, I was sort of fascinated and thrilled. In my whole life (but in particular, the twelve and a half years of my marriage), I had never been perceived as anything remotely like a sex goddess. Suddenly I saw how different life was for a woman with a body like the one I now inhabited. It was different walking down the street. It was different pumping gas. (It was different ice-skating and Rollerblading, incidentally: The old center-of-gravity problem had me falling down a lot.)
My former husband, when he came to pick up our children, looked perplexed. My sons, then 6 and 8, said the new breasts were fun to snuggle up against. But my 12-year-old daughter, Audrey, who was beginning to develop her own small, tender bosom, was mortified.
Oddly enough, my boyfriend -- the same man who had planted the surgery suggestion in the first place -- expressed ambivalence. One day we were at a Red Sox game, where, as usual, my breasts and I were getting a fair amount of attention. "I hate it," he said, "that wherever we go, I get the feeling people think I'm some kind of breast fetishist." (Which, to be honest, he sort of was.)
We broke up not long after that. But I continued to feel okay about my amazing new body, though the feeling I had, inhabiting it, was a little like that of a tourist visiting some exotic foreign country. I had to buy new clothes, of course. Whereas in the past the look I'd gone for was French gamine, with Audrey Hepburn as my inspiration, now my role model was Sophia Loren mixed with a little Dolly Parton. With this shelf in front of me, there was simply no way to look like a slim person. Or a tidy one. Food that once would have landed discreetly in my lap now landed right in my cleavage.
Fortunately, the breasts (I still spoke of them as the breasts, not mine) grew less insistently horizontal over the years. Even so, they made an impact. I remember a night when a group of my daughter's friends were sleeping over, and I overheard them comparing notes on breast development. One of them said to Audrey, "Well, at least you don't need to worry. One look at your mom and we know what's going to happen to you."
When I was 42, my children and I moved to Northern California. Having started a whole new life on a new coast, I thought it seemed like the perfect moment to do something about my oversize breasts. Besides, silicone implants had fallen into disfavor. I wanted saline implants, which I considered safer, and I still had some money in my inheritance fund. And so -- having no internist of my own, and still knowing no one who'd availed herself of these services -- I went back to the Yellow Pages.
This time, I knew the moment I took off the bandages that something had gone wrong. My breasts seemed to have taken a dislike to each other. They were smaller, all right, but they also drifted off in opposing directions, creating a sort of walleyed effect. I could feel a hard edge, particularly under the left one, that was irritating my skin. When I expressed concern to my doctor, she applied a piece of duct tape to the spot, as if to hold the implant in place, but I was unconvinced we'd solved the problem.
Emergency Surgery
My skepticism was confirmed a month or so later when I was working quietly at my computer and felt a slosh of warm liquid pouring down the front of my shirt -- enough saline solution, it occurred to me, for the care and cleaning of many hundreds of contact lenses. A quick check revealed that the implant had rubbed right through my skin and ruptured, deflating within seconds.
Emergency surgery was called for to remove what remained of the implant. This left me with a dilemma: Inserting a new implant was not an option, at least not until my breast healed. But if I chose, I could remove the other implant, in the interest of symmetry.
The decision was just too much for me, so I had the surgeon take out only the ruptured implant. This left me with one size 36 breast and one that was virtually flat. I figured it was my punishment for the vanity that had brought me to this place, and the waste of all that good money that should have been used for something sensible, like a car with air bags.
By this time, my sons had long since lost interest in my breasts, having no doubt found other, much more interesting ones. My daughter was in college, a progressive kind of place where she had chosen to live in the eco-friendly, vegetarian dormitory. Visiting her a few months after my partial chest-flattening surgery, I walked into the common area she shared with her five suitemates, to be greeted with an art piece they had worked on together. They'd made plaster molds of one another's naked torsos, painted them silver and hung them in one amazing row on the wall over the couch.
Of all those young breasts, there wasn't a conventionally perfect one in the bunch. They were a little goofy, in fact: not perfectly matched, and unusually shaped in a few cases. But I could recognize in the breasts of my daughter and her friends what had escaped me about my own. They were fine -- great, even -- just the way the young women themselves were.
A few months later, with heavy encouragement from Audrey, I had the final implant removed. Having returned from the land of bimbo status to nearly total flat-chestedness, I felt like Cinderella after the ball. I told myself I should embrace this body of mine. At 44, I said, I should be over this breast business already.
Only I wasn't. And I still wasn't as I approached my fiftieth birthday. I was not far from the age my mother had been when she attended my wedding back in the 1970s, wearing a low-cut Mexican lace dress with no bra (an image my friends would remember and exclaim over, years later). The man I'd married that day was now living with a young woman and their new baby. On the dresser of my youngest son's bedroom I saw -- although he had moved it off to the side, out of concern for me, perhaps -- a photograph of my ex with his girlfriend, her bare breast exposed, nursing my children's half brother. It amazed me to think that nearly two decades had passed since I'd nursed a baby of my own.
Back when she'd first enrolled in college, my daughter had taken a course called introduction to feminism, taught by a former Berkeley radical. "Oh, Mama," Audrey had said, "You have no idea what women have gone through."
Two years later, she was more ready to believe that I might know a thing or two about what women had gone through, and that perhaps it was going through some of those things myself that had led me to make the choices I'd made in years past, however ill-advised. I no longer registered the wish -- out loud, or even to myself -- that she'd shave her legs or pluck her eyebrows. She looked beautiful as she was, and I loved it that she felt no need to change herself, even though I (raised in another era, the product of a different set of experiences) could not feel equal acceptance of the toll taken by childbirth and the simple ravages of time.
So my daughter came to judge me less for my foolish vanities. She understood better how a person could find herself addressing the grief of a parent's death or the failure of a marriage with a crazy, poorly planned visit to a surgeon's office, where a scalpel would slice open the chest and a sac of silicone would be inserted.
I judged myself less harshly too, and as I did, it came to me how like a woman it was to blame herself, first for her imperfect breasts and then -- again and again and again -- for her inability to accept them.
You may think I am about to tell you how I came to love myself exactly as I was -- flat chest, scars, deflated breasts and all. But the truth is a little more complicated. Only a little money remained in my inheritance fund. With it, I took myself to one more cosmetic surgeon -- but this time, I researched my choice carefully. I didn't want large breasts, or showy breasts. You might say I just wanted there to be a soft place over my heart, like the softness that I felt within. Men have identified women's breasts as a source of comfort and refuge since time began. No great wonder, I sought the same.
I emerged from the procedure with not particularly dramatic or noticeable breasts, but they were comforting to one person: me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rissaroo Good Color! The stitching was well-done on this lampshade, and the color is great. The inside lining is white, but the lampshade is thick enough to show off the blue color without being overbearing. March 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcali83 Very pretty small lamp shade I purchased this shade to go with the small owl lamp. When the lamp is on it illumates beautifully, and shows off the color nicely. The color is exactly as pictured. I also like the silky texture. Anyway, I hope this review helps. December 25, 2012

The 85mm T1.5 cine lens from Rokinon for Canon EF-mount cameras produces a slightly telephoto angle-of-view on full-frame sensors and offers users a "declicked" aperture control ring for smooth iris pulls. With a very fast maximum aperture of T1.5 and an 8 blade iris, for a shallow depth-of-view with an attractive bokeh. The 85mm has a minimum focus distance of 3.38' while internal focusing minimizes the effects of lens breathing for a consistent angle-of-view when you're adjusting the focus. The lens is composed of 9 elements in 7 groups, including 1 aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations. In addition, a multicoated elements layer helps to improve light transmission and reduces glare and ghosting. The focus and aperture control rings meet industry standard gearing to provide an interface that allows you to work with a traditional follow focus. Plus, it comes with a 5-piece lens cleaning kit and a 72mm UV filter.Product Features:

News item from 2013
The Piranesi Candelabra Conservation Project
The TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund has awarded The Ashmolean Museum with a grant for the restoration of two candelabra, by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778).
The Ashmolean is currently carrying out this conservation project, alongside specialist conservation consultants Cliveden Conservation. The intricately carved candelabra are some of the finest examples of neo-classical sculpture in the United Kingdom. They form a key element of the collections displayed in the Ashmolean's impressive Randolph Sculpture Gallery and are of international significance.
The candelabra were purchased from Piranesi by Sir Roger Newdigate, who made two Grand Tours in 1739-40 and 1774-75. They were shipped in component form from Italy to Oxford with instructions for their re-assembly provided by Piranesi. Given to the University of Oxford by Sir Roger Newdigate in 1775, the candelabra were originally erected in the Radcliffe Camera, a library designed by James Gibbs. From there they were moved to their present location in 1846, upon the opening of the new galleries built to exhibit the University of Oxford's collections of Greek and Roman sculpture. They have remained important focal points ever since.
The candelabra have become structurally unsound because the plaster bonding in the joints between each vertical section has failed during the 100 years since they were last restored. Until they were re-plinthed on pallets in 1991, these vulnerable objects were traditionally moved by masons dragging them across the floor, using winches, rather than lifting them. Although they are now mounted on pallets, disguised as plinths, moving them still puts them at risk as they comprise many loose components. For that reason the Museum has developed this project to dismantle, conserve and structurally stabilize these remarkable objects.
The Randolph Sculpture Gallery, one of the Ashmolean's most iconic galleries, is currently undergoing renovation. The candelabra are important part of the collection displayed in the gallery and will enjoy a prominent position within it. We look forward to reopening the Randolph Sculpture Gallery and exhibiting the newly conserved candelabra restored to their former glory in the spring later this year.
The Ashmolean Museum would like to thank the TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund for funding the conservation of the Piranesi candelabra, and The DCMS/Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund and The Michael Marks Charitable Trust for supporting the refurbishment of the Randolph Sculpture Gallery.

The Arkansas Senate has approved a rewrite of the state's school choice law that a federal judge last year ruled unconstitutional.
The Senate voted 34-0 Thursday for the bill that would allow students to change school districts as long as the transfer doesn't violate a court desegregation order.
Republican Sen. Johnny Key of Mountain Home sponsored the bill and says he plans to amend it before it goes to the state House. Key says he'll add a provision requiring the Legislature to revisit the issue in two years.
Key also says he'll limit transfers to 3 percent of a district's average daily membership — which he said is aimed at alleviating concerns about "white flight" and to limit the exodus of students from small, rural school districts.

New York's Metropolitan Opera continues its series of live broadcasts of their Saturday matinee performances with Mozart's La Clemenza di Titto, to be presented at Teatro Vallarta this coming Saturday, December 1, at 12 pm. A free, pre-performance introductory lecture will be offered by Vallarta Lifestyles Managing Editor, Paco Ojeda at 10:40 am in English, and 11:15 am in Spanish. The opera's approximate running time is 2 hrs. 50 min., and it will be performed in Italian with Spanish subtitles.
For one of his final operas, Mozart examined romantic and political intrigue with a compelling return to the opera seria form, a musical term which refers to the noble and "serious" style of Italian opera that predominated in Europe from the 1710s to 1770. The acclaimed mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, along with Mexican operatic tenor Ramón Vargas, lauded as one of the most expressive and agile lyric tenors of the 21st century, lead a superb ensemble of artists ideally suited to the challenges of this profound masterwork.
Tickets for this and the remainder of this season's Live in HD series are $250 pesos per person, available at Teatro Vallarta's box office.

From Winston Groom, the best-selling author of Forrest Gump, Shiloh 1862, and Vicksburg 1863, comes the fascinating story of three extraordinary heroes who defined aviation during the great age of flight. These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival-at-sea, and will appeal to fans of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation, and James Bradley's Flyboys.
With the world in peril in World War II, each of the men profiled here set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet: Jimmy Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the daring Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor. Charles Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific. And Eddie Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom's rich narrative tells their intertwined storiesfrom broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive it), barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II, front-page triumph to anguished tragedy, and near-death to ultimate survivalas all took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the "greatest generation."
Winston Groom is the author of 14 previous books of nonfiction and fiction, including Shiloh 1862, Vicksburg 1863, Patriotic Fire, Shrouds of Glory, Forrest Gump, and Conversations with the Enemy (with Duncan Spencer), which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He lives with his wife and daughter in Point Clear, Alabama.

Great story, bad history
By Bob
from Chapel Hill, NC
The author is a fine storyteller but was woefully weak on his knowledge of related history. He wrote, for example, "in the spring of 1940 Hitler quickly attacked and conquered, in turn, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Belgium, and France." Sweden was neutral throughout the war, Finland fought on the side of Germany against the Soviet Union, and the author doesn't mentioned Luxembourg being conquered by the Third Reich. Also, he completely misunderstands the 1940 Battle of Britain, a major event in the European conflict. He concludes the Luftwaffe lost the fighter war with the British due to the low octane rating of their aviation fuel. This, to put it bluntly, is ludicrous
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear that this book did not live up to your expectations. This is how Winston Groom, the book's author, responded: "The writer is of course correct in pointing out that Hitler conquered neither Finland nor Sweden, neither of which was on the side of the Allies. It is true I didn't mention Luxembourg as being conquered by the Third Reich but neither did I bother to mention similar militarily inconsequential places such as Monaco, which was also occupied by Axis forces. I merely quoted the British petroleum secretary as having said after the Battle of Britain, regarding Jimmy Doolittle's prewar pitch to the RAF for using 100-octane gasoline in its fighter planes, 'This octane was 13 points higher than the fuel used by German aircraft. Those 13 points ended the threat of any Nazi invasion of England.' Just how much of an edge the higher octane gave the pilots, only they would know, but they won the battle, didn't they?"If you prefer an exchange or refund, please contact our customer service department at email@example.com.

עובד אדמתו ישבע לחם... משלי י"ב: י"אHe who tills the land shall be satisfied with bread...(Proverbs 12:11)
After having enjoyed for many years one of the fastest GDP growth rates among world economies, Israel continued the economic recovery it began in 2003, after a two-year distinct slowdown in almost all economic activities. This trend continued in 2007, according to all economic parameters. In the years 2006-2007, Israel's gross domestic product (GDP) continued its rapid growth, reaching 5.1 percent in 2006, in spite of the Second Lebanon War, which caused a temporary loss of 0.7% of the GNP. The speedy recovery and the continuation of the rapid growth were again led by the business sector, which expanded by 6.4 percent, resulting in a $20,138 per capita GDP in 2006.
In 2006-2007 Israel continued to achieve its main macroeconomic objectives: a very low, sometimes even negative rate of inflation, a very low budget deficit, and a limited increase in public expenditure. At the same time, Israel continued to attract foreign investments as well as enjoying a rapid growth in exports and a positive trade balance for the first time. These trends continued in the first half of 2007 and the forecast for the whole year was of continued economic growth with no inflation, a low budget deficit, and economic stability on all fronts.
In late 2008, as some of the world's financial giants began to stumble and markets around the world seemed on the verge of collapse, no one was sure how Israel's fragile, export-based economy would fare. As time wore on, however, Israel showed its economic strength lay not only in its capability for expansion during the boom years, but in its resilience during times of economic contraction.
Now, as the global economy haltingly emerges from recession, Israel has quickly regained economic momentum, shown first in a stock market which outperformed all Western bourses in 2009, and later finding expression in increased exports, declining unemployment and robust consumer demand.
A strong position on the eve of the crisis
Israel was well prepared when, in 2008, the effects of the financial crisis began to ripple across world economies. From a macroeconomic perspective, Israel found itself in one of its strongest positions since its inception. The budget deficit had been largely reined in and the national debt was greatly reduced, thanks to aggressive spending cuts and increased tax revenues. Israel was a sought-after target of foreign investment and was enjoying a positive trade balance for the first time in its history.
The crisis could have spelled an end to these halcyon days, but Israel's growth proved to be robust enough to withstand the consequences of the financial downturn of 2008.
Israel withstands the recession
Three main reasons are often cited to explain Israel's strength in the face of such severe challenges.
The first reason is Israel's conservative banking sector. A strong regulatory system and a moderate banking tradition kept Israel's banks away from the adventurous instruments which proved so disastrous in the US and Britain. In addition, as world investors got jittery, they were assured by Israeli banks' strong capitalization.
Another reason was the labor market's elasticity in coping with the new reality. Major players, including the Histadrut (Israel's largest labor federation) understood the wisdom of accepting short-term pay cuts during the early stages of the crisis, and unemployment also increased significantly, in parallel with global developments.
As the economy recuperated over the course of 2009, wages and employment quickly returned to their previous levels, even as labor markets in the US and Europe remained sluggish.
However, the strength of domestic consumption over the course of the crisis is really what stands Israel apart in its macroeconomic adjustment. As the recession hit, Israelis cut their durable goods expenditures, but largely kept their nondurable goods spending even with pre-recession levels, cutting into personal savings to "smooth out" the drop in income. This was a primary factor in maintaining a stable GDP, and allowing the Israeli economy to weather the recession successfully. As the world moved out of recession in 2009, domestic spending on both durable and nondurable goods picked up quickly, further aiding the country's recovery.
Long-term potential
The Israeli "economic miracle" is much more than a story of recession and recovery - it is the story of an economy that was built from scratch, survived numerous crises and severe economic deprivation, and has finally emerged as a successful, freemarket economy whose citizens enjoy a high standard of living.
With a population in 2010 of more than 7.5 million, Israel has been internationally acclaimed throughout the years, in particular for its extraordinary achievements in agriculture and agrotechnology, irrigation, solar energy, and in many hi-tech industries and start-ups. Based on intensive R&D, even in traditional industries, Israel today is not only the land of milk and honey but also the land of hi-tech, including software, communications, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and nanotechnology.
Free-trade agreements reached over the past three decades with the United States, the European Union and several countries in Latin America have facilitated Israel's expanding exports of goods and services - more than $80 billion in 2008 - as well as its participation in international business enterprises that contributed to the country's accelerated growth.
The date of May 10, 2010, will remain a remarkable milestone in Israel's economic history. After years of struggling against pressures and challenges of all kinds, Israel has finally joined the ranks of the world's foremost economies, as it was granted membership in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD.
The country's accession to the OECD will have substantive effects, as Israel is committed to the organization's regulations governing sectors ranging from the environment to the pension market. Indeed, the accession process pushed Israel to make fundamental changes befitting a modern economy, including reduction of Israel's debt, maintaining fiscal and development policies, cutting taxes and making the capital market more sophisticated.
OECD membership will allow Israel greater access to certain types of managed investment funds, which are required to reserve a proportion of their holdings for developed countries.
But the true significance of Israel's OECD membership is the recognition by the world economy of the tremendous progress that Israel has made during its 62 years of existence.
The shekel, Israel's unit of currency (valued at $0.26 in July 2010), was known as early as the second millennium BCE as a unit of weight for means of payment in gold and silver. It is recorded in the Bible that Abraham negotiated the purchase of a field "and a cave that was therein," at Machpela (in Hebron) saying: "I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there. Ephron, the land-owner, replied: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver... and Abraham weighed to Ephron four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant." (Genesis 23:13, 15-17)

Speaking Truth to Power: Ethics and Advocacy
3 CEU/Ethics credits
Whether acting as a policy analyst, an administrator, a community organizer, policy or legal advocate, social workers have a responsibility to make ethical decisions that are informed by thoughtful and thorough ethical reasoning process. Balancing a need to be sensitive to differences in culture and a responsibility to confront oppression requires a finely nuanced ability to identify ethical dilemmas. Once identified these issues are complex to sort through. This workshop explores the juncture where advocacy, personal integrity and strategic planning often collide. Using case examples from a wide-range of Macro Practice we will explore the challenges of speaking truth to power, and systematically explore ethical dilemmas in order to hone our own – and those around us – ethical thinking. Upon completion of this workshop, participants are able to: 1) delineate the challenges to maintaining an ethical practice while engaged in macro practice social work; 2) apply the concept of an "ethical work-up" to analyze ethical dilemmas in macro practice; and 3) articulate strategies for successfully engaging co-workers in considering ethical dilemmas when pursuing an advocacy agenda.
Jennifer Campbell, PhD, MSW, has a consulting practice working with non-profit agencies providing program development, program evaluation, strategic planning, training and grantswriting. She also teaches Ethics at the Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, and coordinates events for the Enhanced Educational Opportunities (EEO) in policy at the school.

More even light distribution and better visible contrast than the original BMW HID lights give. Highly recommended upgrade, great value. The description may made it seem these bulbs are a direct replacement, but you need to cut the car's connector to the old HID ballasts, and splice the power connector for the LED driver in its place. You need to figure that out yourself because the product didn't come with instructions in any language. Nor does the product or packaging list a brand name.

ZF-8882: Propagate option 'disableTranslator' from Zend_Form_Element to it's validators
When setting the option 'disableTranslator' to true in any Zend_Form_Element, it isn't being propagated to its validators. At least not to Zend_Validate_NotEmpty (I haven't tested other validators yet).
I don't know if this is done deliberate or not, but I would expect setting 'disableTranslator' to true will cause the entire Zend_Form_Element not to translate anything (including validators and other plugins that are loaded).
I think the source of this problem lies in the way the option 'disableTranslator' is handled by Zend_Form_Element: By setting it to true, the translator passed to the validators will be 'null' (in stead of an instance of Zend_Translate(_Adapter)). But when the validator tries to use its translator (which is 'null'), it will load the default translator and things will still be translated.
In my opinion we need to propagate the option 'disableTranslator' itself (not simulate it by passing 'null' as translator as it doesn't completely disable translation).
I've tried to work around this "problem" by setting the option 'autoInsertNotEmptyValidator' to false and manually prepend Zend_Validate_NotEmpty (with 'disableTranslator' in its options) to Zend_Form_Element-s validators. This way the option 'disableTranslator' will be set on Zend_Validate_NotEmpty itself (and doesn't have to be propagated from Zend_Form_Element).
This also has no effect! (Zend_Validate_NotEmpty will still translate error-messages.)
I've figured out the source of this second "problem": Zend_Validate_NotEmpty doesn't have a constructor: When the Zend_Form_Element loads its validators, it will instantiate them using the options as constructor-arguments. But because Zend_Validate_NotEmpty doesn't have a constructor, no options will be set.
I've worked around this second "problem" by creating a My_Validate_NotEmpty (which extends Zend_Validate_NotEmpty). I've put a constructor in it which takes 'disableTranslator' as an argument and sets the option.
At first glance this seems like a neat solution, no hacks in existing Zend Framework files were needed and the adjustment I made in My_Validate_NotEmpty is very very small.
But I do think this solution defeats the whole purpose of the option 'disableTranslator' in Zend_Form_Element.
I've also tested this in the latest stable release: 1.9.7
This "problem" also exists between Zend_Form_Element_Multi and it's 'multiOptions'.

ZF-11910: Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta fatal error when no View object is set
$headmeta = new Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta(); $width = 320; $min_scale = 1; $max_scale = 1; $headmeta->headMeta()->appendName('viewport',"$width, minimum-scale=$min_scale, maximum-scale=$max_scale, user-scalable=no");
This is part of source code of My_Controller_Plugin_DevicePresets extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract, so it's a plugin controller. Running this code causes a fatal error: Fatal error: Call to a member function doctype() on a non-object in ZendFramework\library\Zend\View\Helper\HeadMeta.php on line 212.
Which is (roughly):
if (!$this->view->doctype()->isRdfa()
I noticed this bug when decided to update ZF lib from 1.11.2 to 1.11.6, and that it's also there with latest release.
The {{Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta}} class requires an instance of {{Zend_View}}, and does not adequately check to ensure one is provided before trying to call other view helpers. I would either pull the instance of {{Zend_View}} from your application and inject it into HeadMeta...but passing in a new instance works too:
$headmeta = new Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta();
$headmeta->setView(new Zend_View());
I think the view helper should be updated to do the above automatically if no {{Zend_View}} instance is provided to the helper before it's used.
I worked around it by rolling back ZF library to 1.11.2 and this is my main issue here - is that a change i have missed (and if it is, then why helper doesn't throw an exception about missing view before error strikes?) or just an error somewhere? I don't really have the time to do a regression test and check where the problem lays.
The code causing the issue (call to $this->view->doctype()->isRdfa()) was added in 1.11.3 (see ZF-9743), and so any use of {{Zend_View_Helper_HeadMeta}} without first providing a {{Zend_View}} object is broken since that release.
The simplest fix is this:
Index: library/Zend/View/Helper/HeadMeta.php
--- library/Zend/View/Helper/HeadMeta.php (revision 24569)
+++ library/Zend/View/Helper/HeadMeta.php (working copy)
@@ -209,7 +209,7 @@

- if (!$this->view->doctype()->isRdfa()
+ if ( !is_null($this->view) && !$this->view->doctype()->isRdfa()
&& $item->type === 'property') {
return false;
If there is no view then there is no doctype to parse, and so we have to assume it's HTML (and not RDF) so we can safely short-circuit that if statement in this case. I'll work up a more complete fix w/ unit tests when I get a chance.
Attached patch which protects helper against calls to {{$this->view}} when no view has been provided.
