The Road to Tomorrow
Well, I finally finished revising Goldenrod's events. Whatever's left, I'll edit as I progress through my Crystal ROM. I just have to go back and edit a few of the trainer events to add the Encounter themes to the beginning, and I'll move onto Route 35.
Also, while revising the Goldenrod Pier, I remembered this one house I put there that you access through the cave and through Whirlpool, and I realized that I don't know what I should put there. I'm thinking something rare, but I can't really think of anything. I mean, there's a Move Tutor shop and Move Relearner already, so I can't see what else I should put. Any ideas? I'll also be open to any FRLG features. (An idea I just got was to make it a Trick House, but it seems too out-of-place to put it there. I mean, it's hard to get to, and you'd have to go through the cave to get to it. I'll probably put it on one of the routes, but I don't want to rip off Zel's idea and have it on Route 36, lol. Hell, maybe I'll put it in Kanto...) Here's the house:
Also, with help from Neo-Dragon, the Bike system is a lot more manageable. You'll be using it with the SHIFT key (and when you get the bike, you'll get a message saying so), so it'll be as if it's already registered through the Pack.
As for the Marina charset, nobody's told me they'd be working on it at all, so I guess I'll have to make a temporary one based on Avatar's full Hiro charset. The color scheme might be off a bit, though, but it'll do for the time being. I'll probably finish it in a few days, since I've got studying for finals to do and all. Just a few more days...
Although...with the Gold/Silver remakes confirmed, I dunno if I should keep the game going. I definitely want to finish revising everything so all up to the Elite 4 is good and set, but after that, I dunno. I probably will do it, just 'cause I'm not one to leave something unfinished, but I thought I'd get everyone's thoughts on it.

LOS ANGELES—Okay, we took some liberties with our headline about The Onion's brilliantly satiric illustration depicting Moses, Jesus Christ, Ganesha and Buddha "engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity," but only to make a point.
Of course, The Onion had its own point to make in the post titled "No One Murdered Because Of This Image." Text accompanying the illustration states, "The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way."
That's no doubt true, but considering the image depicts fisting, it's easy to imagine a context in which the creator of a real-life version of the Onion illustration would be prosecuted in the United States under obscenity laws and sent to prison. Think it can't happen? Ask Max Hardcore. He just got out of the slammer after serving time for making movies that many people believe are equally as offensive as the religious abomination depicted by The Onion. Would the person who created the cartoon still be unafraid if he knew incarceration awaited him?
In a cool case of media synchronicity, on the same day The Onion posted up its illustration Forbes published an article titled "The Obscenity Police Are Coming." In it, writer Susannah Breslin addresses the threat made by presidential contender Mitt Romney that he will ramp up obscenity prosecutions if elected. Breslin mentions Max Hardcore; John Stagliano, who just escaped a stint in jail by the skin of his teeth (and prosecutorial ineptitude); and Ira Isaacs, who awaits sentencing after being convicted of obscenity recently by a Los Angeles jury.
Isaacs' scatological productions live at the outer edges of the industry, to be sure, but then so does fisting a deity. Isaacs' defense rested in no small part on his insistence that he is an artist who creates art, an argument that clearly failed to impress the jury that finally convicted him after the government hauled him into court three times. The point being that being in the crosshairs of the state probably feels a lot like being subject to a firing squad of sorts. You just know you're not going to survive.
So, no, most religions don't resort to killing people who make fun of their sacred texts or prophets, but in the United States there is still a real-world penalty to be paid for making stuff not that different from what The Onion published.

Quick Question, Any Input Would Be Appreciated!
Hi all,
Slowly puttin my Zoom/Shogun back together, this time with Daves beltdrive conversion, and need to start thinking about electronics placment.
Currently got two ideas.
#1: Have gyro (GY401) mounted over tail boom, using MJP mount (http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/3113, only have the gyro bit), RX (Schulze 8.35) on the front sloing bit, and ESC on the bottom of the frame.
Bad thing with this, is that the gyro is in a bad place, not helped by the fact that its even higher up becuase of Daves belt tensioners e.t.c. Picture shows paddles at far back position, although I can easily get them to touch by pushing the paddle down.
But it does have all the bits pretty far from each other, and I like the additional CF of the gyro mount
#2 Gyro in the middle of the frame, just behind the battery. RX still on the slanted bit, and ESC below frame again.
Good thing is that the gyro is pretty well protected (not hard to get to screws on it though). However, ESC and gyro are pretty close (although Im using a pretty good RX...?), and the gyro, which is heavy, is near the bottom of the heli, so its not good for the vertical C of G (more pendulum effect).
So I guess its mainly 'where to put the gyro', seeing as the other parts stay in the same place.
Apart from the ways above, any other simple ways to mount the gyro, or any of the other electronics?
Cant mount it under the boom becuase the motore and tail servos in the way
Oh yeah, if I go with #1, I suppose I could mount the RX behind the batt, keep it protected, but it would mean I wouldnt be able to mount the lipo as far back (about 1/2 inch).
Cheers, Duane
mabee a plate on the bottom of the frame toward the rear. is there enough room?
Ill probably end up going with #2, dont want to risk my gyro...
Ill push the ESC as far back as possible, should be at least 1inch between it and the gyro, not much I know, but better than nothing
Hope the C of G will be OK, if its too far forward, Ill shift the tail servo back.
Cheers, Duane

How about pic #1 but with your gyro mount swung over 180deg. so the gyro is underneath,and the servo on top?.
Edit: ok ok, ive thought it through..... ,,i mean who wants an extra link to get the tail control rod hooked up....
When I read the thread title i thought hey a chance to give a quick heliman style one liner
I was thinking were I was to place it on my shogun as well. Underside of frame to the front of the tail servo (make a plate) and move the servo back some if you need to make room. Easy access to adjust if needed.
I like #2 alot too though.
#2 looks good providing you do not see any glitching... do some test flights (close in hovers etc. in 'your' field) and check the glitch counter on the RX.
The only alternative I can think of is to use #1 but move the gyro in closer to the main shaft to get better clearance from the flybar. You'll need to add an extended mounting plate to the existing mount for the gyro to sit happily - ideally a piece of CF plate.
EDIT: took another look at your photo and there seems to be plenty of room to move the gyro forward in #1. Try #2, if you get glitching then build and extended mounting plate and move it forward from the #1 position is my best shot.

With the world's eyes directed toward the United Nations, the most salient issues in the Israeli-Arab dispute in the Holy Land have been sharpened:

An international non-Jewish pro-Israel organization has declared: The UN must "reject any resolutions and actions that would violate Israel's legitimate sovereignty over all of Jerusalem."

Full gas in neutral. With nearly built-in enmity on the part of the U.S. to the most basic Israeli positions regarding Jerusalem, it is no wonder our efforts to keep Jerusalem continue to run up against so many obstacles.

The Islamic Waqf rests not in its efforts to rub out all Jewish connections to Jerusalem - so how can we even consider relaxing our efforts to keep the Holy City Jewish?
Posted on: August 3rd, 2011InDepth → Columns → Keeping Jerusalem
It's a well-known cliche that Jerusalem is "holy to the three main religions" - and in truth, it is not surprising. After all, the city was first holy to the Jews - and so it was inevitable that the rest of the world would ultimately jump on the bandwagon.

Many unanswered questions remain surrounding the fire that broke out in the Jerusalem Forest on Sunday, burning 40 acres and sending four people to the hospital.

Israel has taken a significant step this week toward enhancing the Jewish national character of the country. The Cabinet voted to appoint a ministerial committee to approve a uniform Hebrew naming system - not Arabic, not English - for all Jewish locations in the country.

It is true that support for Israel is very high among American voters. In fact, a poll of earlier this month showed that 56 percent of voters say they support Israel, compared to 10 percent who say they support the PA.

President Obama's recent remarks on Israel and the 1967 lines garnered wide attention both for what he said - most notably, that Israel must remain the same size it was before 1967 - and for what he should have said, but did not - that the Palestinian refugees are an Arab problem, not Israel's.

As we continue to focus on our Holy City of Jerusalem as the make-or-break issue in the bid for an agreement with Fatah-Hamas, it is important to note how the Arab and left-wing side of this dispute views Jews living in eastern Jerusalem.
Posted on: April 28th, 2011InDepth → Columns → Keeping Jerusalem
As we saw in our last article, northern Jerusalem is a critical front in the Arab drive to take over parts of Jerusalem and to then form yet another Arab country in the Land of Israel.
Posted on: April 13th, 2011InDepth → Columns → Keeping Jerusalem
Practically the primary front in the Arab war against Israel is Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority and its Arab allies have made no secret of their intention to turn the Jewish nation's eternal holy city into the capital of yet another Arab state - as merely the first step of their plan to render the entire area Jew-free.
Posted on: March 30th, 2011InDepth → Columns → Keeping Jerusalem
Yes, attention in and on Israel has been justifiably turned toward the Shomron town of Itamar, where two weeks ago ruthless Palestinian terrorists cruelly butchered most of the Fogel family preparing for sleep after an uplifting Sabbath meal.
Posted on: March 2nd, 2011InDepth → Columns → Keeping Jerusalem
With attention focused on the intensifying unrest in the traditionally undemocratic Arab countries across the Middle East and North Africa, let us not think for a moment that Israel is no longer under pressure. The short-term view is misleading; the long term - the one that counts - indicates that the rise of Islamic forces is likely to mean a more concentrated focus against Israel in general, and against a Jewish Jerusalem in particular.

When discussing Jewish rights in Jerusalem, it would seem nothing would be more natural to a Bible-believing world than the acceptance of these as self-evident.

As we focus on Jerusalem as the central issue of the on-again, off-again - but always looming - negotiations with the PA, let us take a look at the latest flashpoint in our holy city: The Shepherd Hotel.

We lost biblical Jerusalem for 19 years, between 1948 and 1967. Are we now facing the same danger again?

As it pertains to new Bengals linebacker James Harrison, we now have a dollar figure to attach to pride.
And his was costly.
According to Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange, Harrisons new two-year deal with the Bengals is worth $4.45 million, including a $1.2 million signing bonus.
The deal includes base salaries of $1.4 million and $1.1 million, workout bonuses of $100,000 each year, and per-game roster bonuses which could total $300,000 this year and $250,000 next year.
That means his maximum payout this year is $3 million.
Compare that to the what he could have made in Pittsburgh, and he clearly lost this offseason.
According to an earlier report, Harrison turned down a 30 percent pay cut from the Steelers, which included a chance to earn the balance back in incentives.
Based on the $6.57 million in base salary he would have received before he was released, that comes out to around $4.5 million this year.
So while he said he didnt hate the Steelers, hell doubtless be motivated to make up the difference on the field twice this season.
What an idiot. At least I hope he has fired his agent since he can't fire himself since both are morons for turning down the Steelers' offer.
I hope that ego was worth $1.5 million this year.

Exposure to high levels of air pollutants during the coldest months of the year in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, is associated with a high incidence of spontaneous abortion during those months, according to a report by researchers from Mongolia and the United States (Enkhmaa D et al. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth. doi:10.1186/1471-2393-14-146 [published online April 23, 2014]).
The coldest capital city in the world (and one of the most polluted), Ulaanbaatar experiences great fluctuations in air pollution throughout the year. The use of coal-burning stoves to heat homes causes high levels of air pollutants during winter, in contrast to much better air quality in summer. Air pollution has been strongly associated with adverse effects on reproductive health, and several recent studies have reported an increase in fetal loss early in pregnancy with exposure to high levels of air pollutants.

In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, exposure to high levels of pollutants from coal-burning stoves used to heat homes is associated with a high incidence of spontaneous abortions during the winter months.

Beware of the brown spider
The loxosceles sp., better known by locals as "brown spider" is a moderate health problem in Curitiba and surroundings. Its poison can cause some minor injuries in most cases, but if untreated can lead to skin necrosis and even death in case of children and seniors. It's bite generally looks like very much a small ant's bite, so keep and eye if the small bite seems to grow different. It sizes varies, standing between 2 or 3 inches, smaller sometimes.
Sometimes they come into the houses and hide themselves inside clothes and shoes. This is the biggest danger, as it normally attacks in defense when pressed against the body. It never attacks without a reason. People are expected to check if there's something inside clothes before wear them, shaking well is enough.
Each year is reported around 3,000 cases of this kind of accident in Curitiba, so be careful, specially in the hotter days.
Safety in Curitiba
Like the biggest metropolitan areas of the world, Curitiba, with their 3 million people, is not free from problems on safety. Street crime is common and although has lower rates than Rio and São Paulo, is enough to set up the visitor's behavior there. When walking on the street be aware of suspicious people and don't stop if someone stops you sudenlly. Don't expose yourself as a lost tourist, and prefer to open a map inside some cafe or shop. During the night, walks become significantly more dangerous, and some downtown areas are very avoided by locals - prefer to take a taxi, in this city are the orange-colored cars.
The mostly subjected crime areas are around the bus terminal, the historic center, the downtown squares (avoid to cross the squares) and the commercial areas of Batel neighborhood.

The clmate is not what you may...
The clmate is not what you may expect while travelling to Brazil. In winter, temperatures around 0 °C are quite common, and there's no heating in the houses, restaurants or public places, so be ready!
This is Avenida Candido de Abreu in a winter morning.
Police in Curitiba, not always reliable
The police in curitiba uses a light brown suit like the photo below. They are very easy to recognize and they use yellow cars to move around. Since are recently related in some proved cases of corruption and association with organized crime, they do not have a better reputation between the locals. Despite of this, some of them are reliable and do a good job, but be sure of speak portuguese or someone who speaks to you, otherwise even the best policeman in the city won't be able to help you, since none of them speaks a foreign language.

In autums, falling leaves...
In autums, falling leaves offer beautiful spots in the residential areas. Though the number of inhabitants is not so large (less than 2 millions), Curitiba lies on a very wide area, as most of its residential areas are built with villas, with own garden.
Take it easy on the sidewalks!
One of the biggest claims among Curitiba's residents is the conservation of the sidewalks. This is a problem all over Brazil and this city also suffer with this issue. Many of the downtown's sidewalks are made of portuguese-style pavement, which consists in a mosaic of 4 or 5 inches white rock cubes. This can be beautiful and exotic, but makes any ordinary walk seems to be close to hell, since many of these rocks releases as someone steps on them, rolling unglued and become subject to falls at any time. Sometimes there are seen pot holes instead of the former pavement. Another trouble reported is the thing that, when it rains, the walks becomes very slippery.
In the neighborhoods the sidewalks have different patterns, but equally unfortunate. In most cases there are composed by squares around 10 inches of side which besides the slippery fact, they are very irregular and people are frequently stumbling down. When unglued, it doesn't have the problem ro roll because they are heavy enough, but when it rains, the water that acumulates below is pressed down and turns up into the stepper's legs, making people dirty and wet. Not so confortable.
The City Hall has announced some replacement plan some years ago, but very few streets have a better pavement, and even ramps to disabled people are very hard to find in the Curitiba's sidewalks.
Be Extremely Careful Crossing the Streets!
While Curitiba is an organized street in terms of a grid street design, that doesn't mean the streets of this city are safe. There are several issues with crossing streets in Curitiba. One, the crossing signals don't always work and need maintenance. Secondly, the buses fly by you at high speeds as the drivers are always in a rush to get to their destination (I have heard they are fined if they are late when they return their bus). A third problem is the automobile drivers themselves. For the most part, they don't respect pedestrians. I have seen several instances since I moved here of cars blowing through stop signs even though the sign and paint on the street clearly says "PARE" -stop. Motorcyclists are also dangerous. Here in Brazil, it is common they weave in and out between cars at stop lights, or during moving traffic.
Here are the most dangerous crossings I have encountered here: 1) Marechal Floriano/September 7th street-next to Estacao Mall---buses turn onto the Sept. 7th street and not all pedestrians look.
2) Road adjacent to Rodonorte CCR and Shopping Barigui-road near Barigui Park has a long curve but cars don't let pedestrians cross.
3) Visconde de Nacar/Marechal Deodoro-Be careful as people don't pay attention to the middle bus lanes.
4) Candido de Abreu-main road next to Shopping Mueller; there are several lanes of traffic going from the city center to the governor's office. It can be hazardous if you don't watch all the lanes as not all the traffic is flowing at the same time.
the bus pluma
this company pluma international and national, have the bad service, the last time i wait 4 hours extra of time to leave, not have good service inside, the stop too much and delay too much. try to take other company, i dont know what happens.

- Page:1/1
- " Was an excellent location in the Old Town and quite close to both the main train station and the main bus station which are located together. I liked the storage system that they had which was basically just two big cages that slid underneath the bottom bunk. Often in hostels the lockers are too small to store anything substantial. This was useful. Bunks themselves were only so-so. I really don't like the metal bunks, wooden ones would be much nicer. Could use reading lights by the beds. "

- " Nice bathrooms, clean sheets, and great location right off of Rynek Glowny. I was overall happy with my stay--the only concern I had was that I did not have a lock for securely storing my belongings, and apparently the hostel does not sell/rent/otherwise provide locks for the under-the-bed storage bins (even though it says on the website that you can purchase a lock for 20 PLN). So bring your own lock if you would like to lock up your belongings. "

- " This is a crazy and unhealthy place to stay when it's more than 30 degrees outside. There is no possibility to cool down, the rooms on top are incredibly hot. Besides the fan in the room, the staff doesn't do any effort to make it better. Please don't ask money for a room to sleep in when it is not possible to sleep. This ruined my holiday.

IT Community
Federal IT shops are still struggling to implement broad mobility, security and cloud services and solutions – and that's all after overcoming the multiple challenges of acquiring those kinds of technologies.
Those difficulties were apparent in remarks by a diverse panel of federal CIOs who spoke Aug. 7 at a Vienna, Va., conference about their experiences in contracting, implementing and managing mobile, security and cloud-based services.
Acquiring mobile and cloud technologies with contracts that have been written to rigid parameters is among DHS' biggest challenges, said Luke Berndt, program manager for DHS Science and Technology Directorate at a panel discussion hosted by immixGroup.
Because S&T does cutting-edge technological research and development for federal agencies, writing contracts with some flexibility and innovation for services and gear used in its work is difficult. "We can do broad agency announcements" that request information from industry," Berndt said, "but it's still a slog" because those broad announcements don't allow for some of the critical details.
While DHS uses broad government-wide contracting vehicles, it also works to develop more targeted contracts for research work..
Injecting innovation into procurement and contracting shouldn't be left to vendors, said Barry West, CIO at the Pension Benefit and Guaranty Corp., the independent federal agency that keeps a watch on U.S. pension plans.
West contended that innovative solutions for evolving, disruptive technologies such as mobile communications, cloud capabilities and cybersecurity at federal agencies are the responsibility of those agencies, not vendors. Agency leaders "need to work closely with their acquisition shops" to insure more-precisely drawn requests for proposals, he said. If an agency's leadership involves IT and the agency's business operations in developing and writing an RFP, the benefits show. "If it's done right, government knows what solutions it wants and can get it." That doesn't mean that industry should be left out, however. Achieving a balanced, innovative mobility, cloud or security solution requires input from all sides, he said.
Despite the myriad difficult challenges presented by acquiring and deploying fast-moving technologies, federal agency CIOs should count themselves lucky. Things could be a lot worse. They could be working in the confusing world of a multinational security organization that deals with dozens of computing and networking languages, and with 28 separate governments that use two human languages to do business.
Curtis Levinson, U.S. cyber defense advisor to NATO, said the acquisition process at his organization can be "terribly, painfully long." The military alliance has 28 member states across North America and Europe that sometimes approach technology in 28 different ways, which can make coming up with uniform technological solutions across the organization difficult..
But European countries and NATO, he said, at least have a common starting point for cloud services —one provided by the U.S. government. While panelists agreed that one of the central problems for federal agencies is the perceived lack of a common definition of evolving technologies like "the cloud," and "big data," Levinson pointed out that what constitutes the cloud has already been spelled out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which has a set of documents that essentially define the cloud and its parts. European governments are familiar with those documents, he said, but U.S. agencies aren't.

"Artists Colony and Quiet Retreat" Areguá by DSwede
Areguá Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 8 photos
Aregua is a quiet town on the shores of Lago Ypacarai. It is known as an artist colony. All of the locals I ever spoke with all agree that it is a summer retreat for artists who can afford the lifestyle as a place to relax and work on their crafts.
On the main streets of Aregua, there are many vendors selling unique one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as what appear to be mass produced assembly line clay creations.
Feel free to visit my Paraguay page for more comments on my experiences here.

Rupiah Weakens for Third Day, Bonds Decline on Current Account
Indonesia's rupiah fell for a third day and bonds declined on concern the nation will post a record current-account deficit this year.
The government expects the shortfall to be at a "safe level" of below 3 percent of gross domestic product, Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo said last week. Barclays Plc forecast today the deficit to be at 2.5 percent of GDP this year, which would be the most since Bloomberg began collecting the data in 1998. The broadest measure of trade widened to a record shortfall of $6.9 billion in the second quarter, compared with a deficit of $3.2 billion in the previous three months.
"The fundamentals for the rupiah remain weak," said Prakriti Sofat, an economist at Barclays Plc in Singapore. "The current account is weighing on investor sentiment."
The rupiah weakened 0.1 percent to 9,558 per dollar as of 5:19 p.m. in Jakarta, prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg show. The currency touched 9,588 earlier, the lowest level since Sept. 14. One-month implied volatility, which measures exchange-rate swings used to price options, held at 5 percent.
The yield on the government's 7 percent securities due May 2022 climbed three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 5.93 percent, the highest level since Sept. 12, according to closing prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association.

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas threatened to quit as premier and resigned from a key body of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement Tuesday, reflecting turmoil within the Palestinian leadership over negotiations with Israel.
The move came just hours after Islamic militants claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that left an elderly Israeli woman dead, and threatened more attacks unless Israel agreed to release the thousands of Palestinian prisoners that it holds.
But the chief of Israeli military intelligence, Maj. Gen. Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, told Israel TV on Tuesday that Israel must not release prisoners tied to terrorism. "It is forbidden to free terrorists with blood on their hands," he said.
Abbas has been facing strong pressure within his Fatah movement to adopt a tough line on the prisoner releases. In a letter to Arafat, he said he would step down as premier unless he gets clear instructions from Fatah over how to handle contacts with Israel.
Fatah officials said Abbas' move might be a pressure tactic aimed at forcing Fatah members to give him greater flexibility in the talks.
Abbas' leadership is strongly backed by the United States, which rallied to his support. "We stand behind Prime Minister Abbas," State Department spokesman Philip T. Reeker said. He said Abbas' leadership has produced important changes beneficial to the Palestinians.
The Bush administration sees Abbas as a moderate alternative to Arafat, who is accused of involvement in terrorism.
Palestinian leaders proposed Monday that Abbas and security chief Mohammed Dahlan meet with Israeli Knesset members to help press Palestinian demands for a prisoner release. The meeting has yet to be scheduled.
Israel holds an estimated 7,000 Palestinian prisoners -- an issue that threatens to become a major crisis between the sides -- and this week Sharon's Cabinet decided to free perhaps 5 percent of them. Israel thought the planned prisoner release would strengthen Abbas' position. But top Palestinian officials say its limited scope could weaken Abbas by making him look ineffectual.
Arafat reluctantly appointed Abbas to the new post of Palestinian prime minister in April, giving in to intense international pressure to share power. Since then, Arafat has tried to retain as much authority as possible.
Hakam Balaawi, a Fatah official, said Abbas quit the Fatah Central Committee. Fatah, headed by Yasser Arafat, has been in turmoil over the declaration of a unilateral cease-fire -- which also obligates its affiliated militia, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades -- 10 days ago.
Fatah officials were trying to persuade Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, to withdraw his resignation.
"I hope that Abu Mazen will change his mind and withdraw his resignation soon," Balaawi said.
Abbas has been Arafat's deputy in Fatah, the largest Palestinian movement, for decades.
The suicide bombing, which killed a 65-year-old woman Monday while she watched television inside her home in central Israel, was a violation of the cease-fire that began last Sunday. The attack may have been carried out by a splinter group within the militant Islamic Jihad organization.
The militants who claimed Monday night's bombing said it was carried out to press demands for a sweeping prisoner release.
The Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups are seething over the plans because Israel has explicitly ruled out freeing any of their members. Slightly fewer than half of the detainees are members of Islamic Jihad or Hamas, according to Radi Jarrai, deputy minister for prisoner affairs in the Palestinian Authority,
The bombing is the first since Palestinian militants declared a cease-fire on June 29; the last Palestinian suicide bombing killed 17 people on a bus in Jerusalem on June 11.

Genre: Gay Specialty
Memorable title will have fans requesting this all-oral movie. Large cast is a good mix of Latins, blacks, and whites.
It's called sport sucking - meat dangled down eager throats. Horny participants sometimes choke and gasp, blinking back tears. But you won't hear a single complaint; all those gooey pearl necklaces are badges of honor for the men on the Knob Squad. The action is straightforward and no-nonsense. After a quick on-camera hello from each model, they swiftly get down to the nitty-gritty of cocksucking with the occasional rim job tossed in. Some lads are more blessed than others, packing a little more meat than average (Paul Hanson, Erec Estrada, and Alan Gregory, especially). Most, if not all, are porn stars. All are crazy for cock. The oral calisthenics between four urban black men may be the highlight of Knob Squad. One configuration is particularly hot: Shahan and Hanson back-to-back bumping butts as they're blown by kneeling Black and Pleasure. Director Zaye's behind-the-scenes footage is quite good too.

Well, not really. But Niftu Cal is still far beter with the Reegar than Tali'll ever be
Love the colors and the idea! They were one of my favorite teams in ME1 and ME2. They just play off each other (and Shepard) really well.
Team Dextro F.T.M.F.WIN!!
these are incredibly awesome, what is your coloring process for making these?
thanks! It's basically layering textures like in this tutorial [link] with different colored gradients on different layers with the layer blend modes turned on. My coloring method is pretty simple [link] and I draw all my lines on a different layer and sandwich all the textures and gradient layers in between until it looks good.
it's a lot easier than it sounds i swear
it's a lot easier than it sounds i swear

According to yahoo sports, Michael Carter a three time Super Bowl winning DL is the only man ever to win an Olympic medal and SB in the same season. Recent Florida graduate Jeff Demps won a silver medal in London in the 4 x 100 meter race. Demps focused on the Olympics this spring instead of being drafted, but was signed by the Patriots on Friday now that the games are over.
Does he have a chance this year? I remember him being very explosive in the SEC. He is already the only playerat UF to win two national championships (football and track) in the same year.

MOSCOW Moscow on Wednesday called for a fair and thorough investigation in the case of a real estate tycoon and two other Russians held in Cambodia on suspicion of assault.
Sergei Polonsky and his two compatriots were detained on New Year's Day after an incident in which Cambodian military police say they forced some crew to jump off a boat at knifepoint and one boatman was punched.
Polonsky, 40, a property developer who was worth an estimated $1.2 billion before the global financial crisis, and the other Russians are accused of assault and illegal detention.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said they faced up to three years in prison if convicted.
"In view of the seriousness of the accusations, we consider it necessary that a thorough and objective investigation be conducted and all the circumstances of the incident be investigated," the ministry said in a statement.
It said it had conveyed that message to the Cambodian Foreign Ministry and was closely watching developments.
Polonsky's company, Mirax Group, experienced serious problems during the financial crisis and has been reorganised under the name Potok.
The flamboyant tycoon is perhaps best known outside Russia for an incident in 2011 in which Russian billionaire Alexander Lebedev threw a punch at him during a television talk show.

Rastafarian God: Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia
Do Rastafarians have their own God?
Yes, Rastafarians have their own black God, his name is Emperor Haile Selassie. He was born in Ethiopia in 1892, and was crowned emperor, of Ethiopia in 1930. The story of Selassie is an interesting one. There are DVDs that you can watch to learn more. I will give a brief explanation here.
Many Rastafarians say it is outlined in the bible, the birth of Emperor Haile Selassie and the fact that he is God. In the bible it says, " he will be called…The king of kings, lord or lords, conquering lion of the tribe of Judah," apparently Selassie is of the tribe of Judah because of the time he was born, which is under the sign of leo, the lion, (the tribe of Judah). There is a lot more cool facts that line up to Selassie being a reincarnation of our lord. Do I believe it myself? Yes, I do. When I found out he could pet lions without being mauled, (even though they were his person pets) I was convinced. I believe you need t have something special inside of you to be able to do this.
Do Rastafarians believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes, there are some Rastas who do believe in Jesus Christ. They call him by the name "Yesus Christos." I my self am not a "facts rasta" so I can't really tell you much else about this. what I can tell you is that a lot of Jamaican Rastafarians are raised christian before embracing themselves as Rasta. Therefore, many Rastas read the Christian bible, including my self. In fact I consider the Christian bible to be a spring board into my accepting my self as Rasta. Rastas dont have anything against Christianity or any other religion. We are just different in the sense that we know what we know, and what we know is the truth, there for we cannot deny, our rasta spiritual knowing.
Rasta Colors and the Ethiopian (Rasta) Flag
We rasta get our rasta colors from the real true rasta flag, which is the original flag of Ethiopia, and had the lion on it. I believe somebody changed it, from the lion to a yellow star on a blue background, because just like they smashed off the nose of the sphinx, this is an attempt to try to hide the truth. The lion is a clear symbol of strength, and just to see that flag, no matter who you are, you know there is something very strong, and very special about it. You can buy one at my rasta flag shop. here at www.rasta-flags-shop.com
What do the history books say about the war on Ethiopia?
Many books say that Mussolini declared war on Ethiopia, in order to colonize it, like the rest of Africa had been successfully colonized by outsiders at that time, and that Mussolini won the war. This is not true. Selassie and his army won the fight. Let me bring you up to speed in case you don't know, like I didn't at one point.
The proof is in the pudding!
There was a time when all of Africa was called Ethiopia. Africa kept on being colonized by outsiders,over and over again until there was only a small piece of land left, which is where Emperor Haile Selassie lived. When Mussolini declared war on Ethiopia in order to colonize it. Selassie being a king, had the resources (army) to go to war in order to defend the part of Africa where he resided. When the war was over, it was still called Ethiopia, because Mussolini was unsuccessful in his attempt to colonize this remainder of Africa. Just by the sheer fact that Ethiopia has its original name, and not a name given to it by its colonizers tells you that, Selassie and his troops won the war. A friend of mine forced me to watch the DVD, which I will try to make available to you as well. On my website. For now please read more about the the war between the Italy and Ethiopia here.
For some Rasta God has no Face and no Name
For some Rasta, God has no face and no name God is a spirit. That makes sense too. But maybe it was all true at some point. Maybe there is God, then he sent Selassie to defend the African Land. God was in Selassie so to speak, so at that time God was black. Then when Selassie was no more Selassie. (some say he is still alive) then he became a spirit, without a face. Personally, I believe Selassie is God or a reincarnation so to speak, but this is a Rasta woman, with all her rasta thoughts and feelings perspective.
I love H.I.M and I love my self. I am African
I love the story of Emperor Haile Selassie, His Imperial Majesty. I love my self too. I am african and I am proud.
Is God Black?
I don't know if God is black, I have never met him. In the bible jesus is described as being someone "of color." With his hair "like lambs wool," and his feet the color of "brass" (sorry guys I don't remember exactly) but it sounds to me like someone from egypt, and this type of Egyptian have hair like black folks, and tanned to dark-colored skin. "Sizzla," (a popular reggae music artist) has a song called "no white god" here it is for you to listen to.
Watch this next video and learn why Rastafarians pay respect to Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia as God. This is an interview with popular reggae artist Sizzla, discussing Rastafari.
Bob Marley said "We are all One"
Bob Marley sang in one of his songs… "One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright..!" We are all one whether we want to be or not, we are. We may be different in color, different by birth country, but the rest is all the same. We, should be more focused on our similarities than our differences, I think we would all be happier if we did that.
As long as your God teaches love, unity, and respect I don't care what color you think of him to be, I am on board. The East indians have Gandhi, he was about peace, The Asians have the Dalai Lama, he also represents a peaceful spirituality, The Christians have jesus, he believed in loving your enemies and leaving oppressors to God. We Rasta have Emperor Haile Selassie and he called for unity among all nations, regardless of skin color or class. Looking to buy an Emperor Haile Selassie Flag…click here!

I can remember a segment on public radio about the late great Bob "Nesta" Marley OM and the song he co-wrote with the original Wailers (Bob, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, and Beverly Kelso) entitled "One Love". The segment explained that the song had gone through a disturbingly stark interpretational change from the time of its original conception.
Bob was a Rastaman: a visionary – "son" – of the Emperor Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia – (Rastafari people first declared Him in the capacity of the "Black God" /Messiah/Almighty and earth's rightful ruler as King of Kings), and he was as well a visionary of the late Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
Garvey, a Jamaican born son, was the most prominent and perhaps the greatest man in history that mobilized and motivated black African people throughout the world. One of the first and most outspoken "prophets" of black redemption and repatriation otherwise known at the time as "Ethiopianism", Garvey stated that natural order of nations was to maintain their sovereign integrity as "Europe for the Europeans, China for the Chinese, India for the Indian, and Africa for the Africans (both at home and abroad), every nation under it's own vine and figtree"; it was an order which Marley also emphasized and repeated throughout his career.
In 1962, Jamaica was awarded her "independence" from England as a colonial subject and became a so called "autonomous" nation. This occasion marked the end of nearly four centuries of colonial rule (albeit the country has yet to recover from a crippled economic infrastucture due to among other things, trans-national economic policies which maintain large multi-national corporate interests to the detriment of the struggling local economy)*, and was seen at the time as the dawn of a new era of freedom and progress for the nation. The Wailing Wailers were just embarking on their musical careers; a young group who were keenly in tune with the spirit of this renaissance out of which they produced several hits, one of these was entitled "One Love"
The segment described how the tune was later reproduced once Marley had reached his prominence as a world class musician and how it had now become a major worldwide hit song – though it was now translated in the minds of many into a work of a new-interpretation,
one which denied the need for more effective change and social justice;
"One Love
One heart –
Let's get together and feel alright"
Whitehearts could definitely pallete that brand of message, or at least the peace movement mantra brand they thought they were getting.
Now I MUST digress here for a moment, as a new contributer to this site to explain my use of labels. Notice that instead of simply using the word "white" to describe all who fit that 'legal' status, I'm using the term "whiteheart" to describe those who remain blinded to the advantage of their status and ignorant to the insidious injustice of that status. A deeper look at the symptoms of this malady within the collective psyche of white society reveal the many characteristics of dis-functionality caused by perpetuating a selfish lie about life in the name of whiteness/high-coloredness/"good"-hair/cultural supremacy/etc. Indeed, the seal of this particular defect is the concept of whiteness itself which psychologically speaking, is a generationally disabling, dis-function of the heart (emotional/spiritual center).
Black, as not only a color but the symbol for or essence of creation, struggle, overcoming (reality/life); white as not a color in the paradigm of white supremacy. Absolute "white", the color of this page, has been made (hijacked) into the color-code for presumed power but has been blatantly revealed to be a vehicle for selfish greed and murderous lies.
"Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner…"
Another passive note; not implying any fault or malice by anyone, just appealing to sympathy, invoking ideas by many whites of those who are labeled "under-privileged" or "less fortunate"; this is uncharacteristic of the majority of Bob Marley's lyrics;
there is no implication of race or injustice anywhere in the lyrics, as for example one will find in the songs "Buffalo Soldier", "Slave Driver", " Guiltiness, or "The Heathen"-
For whitehearts (those who have this tourist mentality), those songs would be unsuited as anthems for their portable vacation spot. It's here, in "One Love" paradise, that Bob Marley can take them anytime. (usually it's that beach where "island dreads" [somehow happy, "transcendent" blacks] and whites can love "One Love" together).
The problem (which points to the BIG problem) is that white-hearted society has revised the terms of Bob Marley's work by claiming to have received this soft and fuzzy version of oneness and love that supposedly asks us all to be colorblinded, color-muted, irresponsive to the implications of color in a color/class profiled society; let's just "get together to feel alright", and if I don't see you at all, well maybe when I do from time to time, I will turn on my "love dial" all the way to 11, till then, take good care and stay the hell where you are until you finally catch up to the "peace train"…. madness
I could easily take to task whitehearts using a host of other examples, but instead chose Bob's work, one because I am a reggae recording artist myself and two, I see his position in popular white culture and this song as a most glaring point of reference by which Eurocentric brothers and sisters reexamine and arrest white-heartedness;
in this example, we've been able to expose the society at large's inclination to find the most universal cause of shared experience – "love"- and reduce it to a level of "feeling" and non-commitment. This was just one particularly vivid example which illustrated the chasm between Blackheart and Whiteheart.
The major attraction to these lyrics by whites-hearts reveals the conciousness-repelling of "whiteness" which has caused mis-aligned respect for Bob Marley.
Whitehearted sentimentalities coddle a particular benign, myopic image of Bob: a rebellious (but safe) half black/half white Rastaman who is as a reggae super-hero,! This fabricated Bob Marley is a costume being in the same sense as the "I have a dream" MLK Jr. is – the real man's contention with and open rebuke of the system and definitive calls for justice is muted/substituted in society's irreverent reaction to facing accountability, that is, facing the task of fighting in a significant way against the mental/physical dominant class power structure.
Real love and oneness is something that needs to be strove for, not simply turned to as a token delight.
"One love" – NOT the anthem for a colorblinded society at large that does not strive for the basic components (equity and justice) of that oneness;
Despite how it later became marketed to the world, "One Love" was in the mind of its authors a strong black pride statement to the system, a tool of emancipation, even an extension of Garvey's mantra projected to the black nation, i.e. "One God, One Aim, One Destiny". "One Love", as a matter of fact, had been written to fellow Jamaicans as a rally for solidarity as a black "emancipated" nation struggling with senseless class divisions within Jamaican black society stratums.
Even if we whites are to derive a parallel meaning from "One Love", then it is certainly not one that tells us to "get together" for a day or a few hours. Sustained togetherness would logically require work; the work of mutual care, honor and overstanding
We will be bound, if we are honest as we check out all the lyrics of Bob Marley, to come to the conclusion that he was not the appeasing, happy-go-lucky nor rent-a-dread type of song writer.
If we look with objectivity at the man's whole musical legacy, we then afford ourselves the chance to have not only a richer experience of the man's spirit and genius, but then and only then do they do justice to the memory of this Son of Africa, to respect his prerogative as a black man and his contribution to the world and his Black people in right context.
We ask of ourselves first, "which Army are you from?!?"
"who is Bob Marley?"
and who in society is it that thinks that:
"…life is but a dream, so they – making matters worse…."
(BM, "Crisis")
Bob was not here as a minstral. He wasn't dancin' with fools, But it's not enough to say who he was or was not; It is more important that we, the adoring listeners, look inside ourselves to see who we are – to root out spiritual wickedness, negating the privilege accounting of our lives for something more real and live a circumspect, harmonised life, despite the nature of self and what others may think, and despite an evil system which provides wealth, leisure, and worldly comfort – that which the masses chase everyday. Now that would be SHOWING heart – disgracing the source of one's self and other's pleasure and escapism for the sake of what is just.
Unfortunately, privilege based on racial hierarchy has caused many to presuppose from a very deeply engrained level of ignorance – a symptom of a multigenerational conditioning through a lens of recycled status quo – a most powerful psychological motivator of human behavior. A "do not disturb sign" attitude towards this status quo blinds most whites to the offensive and horrendous extent of our pre-fabricated privilege, and that has produced justified anger, justified suspicion and justified unwillingness within many non-europeans to view us "whites" as brothers and sisters within the world community.
As white-hearted society begins to remove the self-imposed mental barriers that privilege affords, (a state of mind which is a strong incubator of institutional racism) aligning our relative experiences and communications and activities with absolute truths transformative healing will take place; on the other hand, simply hearing messages which come with a compulsion to dance won't drive the issues forward. Taking hold of the sword Bob Marley wielded IS the tantamount requirement for becoming part of the great Bob Marley-Rastafari-black liberation legacy.

Today is known as the age of scepticism. Yet to claim to know while having to be sceptical is to be hypocritical. Today we see so-called religious persons stealing their religion from the Isrealites and then like blundering criminals they do their best to snuff the life out of the victims of their crime. It is interesting to know whether their fight is really against Jews in the Middle East or whether their intended targets are the True Jews.I hold those Ras in esteem who never let go of the testimony of Yesus. It is not accurate for Rastafari to see Haile Selassie I as the manifestation of Christ in this dispensation and to know that he was a professing Christian and yet to deny Christianity. It is fine to deny the false Babylonians and Sodomites posing as Christ's church but not to deny true Christianity. True Christianity and True Rastafarianism are the flip sides of the same coin. It has been said that we should get our strength from one who has the power. But we can see this as find the strength to find the power within yourself even if with the help and guidance from someone who has also had the strength to find the power within themself. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not lack but as Yesus said to his disciples in the Gospel of Thomas "Those who know all, but are lacking in themselves, are utterly lacking".
In the Universal Ethiopian Anthem we sing "Ethiopia the land of our fathers, The land where our God loved to be". While some say "where the Gods love to be" I would really like to know which term was the original one. The wise should know the meaning of this. Many people say and do things without knowing what they are saying and doing. In the same anthem we say "Grant unto thy sons that lead the wisdom thou gave to the sages" The word sages could mean anyone who was wise but it usually referred historically to a person who followed the stoic doctrine. The stoic's doctrine preceded Christ's trod on the earth yet like Christ they believed that wisdom was powerful enough a force to set you apart from and indeed above the rest of the world and its problems. In these latter days I can hardly think of a more stoical individual than HIM Haile Selassie; if not so much only in terms of doctrine in terms of personality in facing the problems life posed. Like pantheists or panenthiests Stoic sages also believed in the Unity of the world or "The Everything". Although many people do not know it ancient Cabbalistic type Jews also believed in the androgynous "be all and end all of existence" which was really one entity. There is much dispute about that doctrine but I find it impossible to believe that Yesus Christos or HIM Haile Selassie were not aware of or influenced by these truths of the nature of God. Unity is not only the strength which can give victory but the truth which can eternally establish. Yet all the ancients believed and knew that three, or a trinity of entities or forms (and Haile Selassie means power of the Trinity), or expressions of existence were essential to the giving or transfer of life from the Most High divine region to all other realms. Even mathematically if you go from the (1) One to the (2) Two, or the (0) Zero to the (1) One; the three is always there in the form of a function. The story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter but, the same beginning of the law is the end of the law.
However you look at the original work of the spirit of wisdom, today wisdom rather seems to have only one mandate, to move away from the false. Away from the false Gods, away from the false Satans, away from the false Christs, away from the false Scriptures, away from the false Religions, away from the false Holy Lands, away from the false Governments. His Majesty taught that we must ceaselessly work for inner calm but there is nothing more distressing than false Peace; but it seems this saga will not cease until the land some call holy and which they are fighting over; are inhabitable by and holy only for the cockroaches and the ghosts.
A funny thing is in this world, while we don't even know what God is and he has said he is unsearchable, stop and think, we don't even know what a man is. It is childish to say look there is Selassie sitting on his throne what you see there is a spacial and time bound matrix a man is much more than the obvious flesh and bone to be view at any one point in time. Some people see a man as a conscious rational unity but when you add up all that a man is you will invariably be left with God – he holds our origin, our worth and our destiny. This is why Haile Selassie left the stripes on God's shoulder and the praise on God's merit. The finite and the infinite are continually absolved in each other it is a never ending cycle. Man cannot understand the infinite without the finite and the finite cannot exist without the infinite. The wise have always know though that eternity can be held in a moment and that all nature lies within every atom. We have so much given to us in Haile Selassie however we look at it and we all will view that differently.
Blessed Love

An individuals relationship with Jah is a personal one.
I find my self correcting people when they refer to my spirituality as a Religion. In my mind a Religion implies Rote etc. Very little room for personalization. Spirituality will be seen differently by different people, this includes Rastafari. There are many Rasta who do things I dont personally agree with, the way we view this aspect of things in Rastafari is…."…each man is responsible for his own Judgement…"
Regarding King Selassie. Same thing. Its personal. Some Rastafari see King Selassie as a Prophet, some do not. Some Rasta are more Christian, Some are not.
Spirituality is personal, that is why I feel that really from my heart, it shouldnt even be discussed. I feel once its discussed it become like everything else. Prey to scruitiny etc.
My hope is that every person finds peace and expresses love, often, Regardless of his beliefs. Spirituality should be something that is fullfiling and gives a person a sense of wholeness.
Jah Ras Tafari.

Limited Brands Inc. on Tuesday said it will sell a majority interest in its underperforming Express apparel brand and is considering options for its Limited Stores chain.
Limited Brands, the operator of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, said it is selling 67 percent of its interest in Express to affiliates of private equity firm Golden Gate Capital for $548 million. The sale is expected to be completed by July.
There is no time frame for what Limited Brands will do with Limited Stores, which company founder Les Wexner used as the starting point for the specialty retailer when he opened his first store in 1963.
Wexner expanded the business to other retail brands in building a chain with 3,700 stores, but over the past six years, Limited has been selling its apparel divisions to focus on more profitable operations: lingerie and personal care products.
The company sold Lane Bryant in 2001 and Lerner New York in 2002, spun off teen retailer Abercrombie & Fitch and girls' retailer Tween Brands Inc. and consolidated its struggling Structure menswear stores under the Express label. In January, the company bought La Senza Corp., an intimate apparel retailer based in Canada, for $628 million.
"Our strategic agenda focuses on growth in the intimate apparel, and personal care and beauty segments of our business," Wexner said in a statement. "The new ownership structure for Express will provide it with the resources, leadership focus and capital to maximize its potential."

I love oven roasted potatoes! And these are very good. :). I did have mine in oven longer...about 70 minutes.
Made this just for 2 of us, & since these are such GREAT TASTING POTATOES, I'm looking forward to making them again, for company! Prep was so easy & the final result, OUTSTANDING! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in the current Pick A Chef]
So very good. I left out the fennel seed sinceIdidn't have any but it tasted great. I would suggest cooking this on a higher rack since the rosemary burned a little bit but it was a great tasting recipe. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve dinner brighter!
