Shemot 5769
Posted on March 23, 2011
by Judah Kerbel, 2009 USY International Religion/Education VP, 5769
January 17, 2009/21 Tevet 5769
In Parashat Shemot, Moses was out shepherding Jethro's flock when he received a call. No, not on his cell phone, but through a phenomenon even greater than cell phones:
Va-yeirah Malach Adonai eilav b'labat eish mitoch ha-sneh va-yar v'hinei ha-sneh bo'er ba-eish v'ha-sneh einenu u'kal (Shemot 3:2).An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire out of a bush. He gazed, and there was a bush all a flame, yet the bush was not consumed (Etz Hayim Humash, p. 327).
The burning bush catches Moses' eye, and bearing the human trait of curiosity, he merely intends to check out this supernatural phenomenon of bush that burns but does not turn to ashes. God then calls out to Moses, he cries out the famous "hineini," I am here [at your service], and the rest is history. The appearance of God through a bush seems to bear significance. The medieval commentator Chizkuni analogizes the burning bush to the Jewish people, explaining that "it is a sign comparing Egypt and Israel, as the enemy is compared to the fire and Israel to the bush. And like the fire did not consume the bush, in this fashion the enemy could not defeat Israel." Philo, the Jewish-Hellenistic philosopher from 1st century Egypt, comments that "the bush that burns but is not consumed symbolizes the Jewish people, perpetually attacked and endangered but perpetually surviving" (327).
Davka today, I came across an Israeli scientist named Isaac Berzin, who has developed a method for utilizing algae to produce biofuel and to consume carbon dioxide (no pun intended). He was named one of the Top 100 people of 2008 in Time Magazine, and in the profile of his work, Time includes an analogy he made to the burning bush. "What can you burn without consuming it," he asks. "Renewable fuels."
What is our renewable fuel that has prevented our enemies from annihilating us over a span of over 3000 years? The answer, in my opinion, is our covenant with God – adherence to Torah. Going back to Chanukah, which feels like so long ago already, the Jews' victory against Antiochus & Co. was a military victory vital for the spiritual success of the Jewish people. All wars that the Jewish people have fought, whether physically or spiritually, have been fought for the sake of keeping alive God's covenant. Our observance of Torah is not merely a luxury &@8211; it is necessary for our survival. As the saying goes, "water for fish is like Torah for the Jews." So long as our commitment to Judaism remains a priority for the Jewish people, we can thrive. We have the willpower, evident in our constant survival as our enemies still attempt to destroy us, as well as our faith and our principles. A comment in our Humash: "to see that a bush is on fire is easy; to see that it is not consumed takes time and patience …." (327). We must continue to struggle to add sanctity to our lives and keep the faith alive even when times make it hard to do so.
As I discuss our enemies' inabilities to destroy us, I add in a prayer that as our brave soldiers fight Hamas, an organization committed to eradicating Israel and Jews, we hope for their safety and well-being, and that their courage will send a message to a cynical world that the Jewish people do not let up when their legacy is at stake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from The light looks amazing in our entryway. The light was very easy to install, directions were easy to follow as well. Would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a retro/mod look.

Puri Pendant is rated out of 5 by 1.
can I use a higher wattage flourescent lamp then 13 watt?
Typically it is not recommended to use a wattage that exceeds the limit given by the manufacturer because it can blow out the internal socket set and wiring components, which will in turn void any warranty on the product. There may be similar products that are compatible with a brighter wattage that are better for task lighting. If you would like to explore some of these alternates, do give us a call anytime at 866.842.6209 and we can compare and contrast some similar fixtures. Thanks for contacting us!

Google Buzz changed after privacy complaints
- From: AFP
- February 15, 2010
- Buzz made contact lists public
- Google changes it after complaints
- Users now have to opt-in to public profile
FACING a slew of privacy complaints, Google has made changes to Buzz, the new social networking tool it added this week to its free email service Gmail.
"There's been concern from some people who thought their contacts were being made public without their knowledge," Gmail and Google Buzz product manager Todd Jackson said in a blog post.
"Others felt they had too little control over who could follow them and were upset that they lacked the ability to block people who didn't yet have public profiles from following them," Mr Jackson said.
Among the concerns aired in technology blogs and elsewhere was that Google Buzz was taking a user's Gmail contacts and automatically adding them to their public Buzz social network.
A number of commentators noted that they did not necessarily want their email contacts made public like Facebook friends.
Mr Jackson said Gmail users will now have to create a Google Buzz public profile and will be notified that "lists of people you follow and the people following you will be displayed on your public profile."
"You can view, edit and even hide these lists," Mr Jackson said.
"The lists of your followers/people you follow are not made public on your profile until after you go through this profile creation step."
Mr Jackson said Google was also giving users the ability to block anyone following their account.
The Google product manager said "tens of millions" of people have used Buzz since it was launched last week, "creating over nine million posts and comments."
"It's still early, and we have a long list of improvements on the way. We look forward to hearing more suggestions and will continue to improve the Buzz experience, with user transparency and control top of mind," he said.
Google Buzz allows Gmail users to get updates about what friends are doing online and offers ways to share video, photos and other digitized snippets.
Google Buzz has been described by some technology analysts as a direct challenge by Google to social networking stars Facebook and Twitter.

There's no such thing as privacy any more, it's sad. What we need is a privacy revolution, where we demand our privacy back, across the board, not just on the internet. No x-ray scanners at airports; no data sent overseas for processing; no record of purchases being kept by companies like Flybuys and Costco; no scanning of driver's licences at pubs; no being being asked personal questions in front of everyone at the pharmacy; no private medical discussions happening in shared hospital wards in front of other patients; no doctors' receptionists telling the whole waiting room what you suffer from etc. Am I dreaming?
Low Ping of melbourne Posted at 11:47 AM February 15, 2010
I hope this takes off, as I am sick and tired of FB. Google has the making of a really good networking tool. Take GMAIL, Calander, Picasa , Google Maps, Google Docs, GTalk and maybe WAVE and wrap then all up into one frontend and you have a real winner. The apps are fantastic and Farmville/Vampire ...etc free.

Their twin sons were fast asleep when two men with badges rang the doorbell at 6:30 a.m. on Jan. 28. Inside their tidy suburban Pacifica, Calif., home, Jay Mercado was getting ready for work, and her wife, Shirley Tan, planned to take the boys to school. But the two men—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents—had other plans. They produced an order of deportation, and minutes later Tan was under arrest. After a day in jail Tan was sent home with an electronic ankle bracelet pending her deportation hearing. "I said, 'I am not a fugitive,'" Tan, 43, recalls through tears. "We're just a simple, happy family."
But this stay-at-home soccer mom's situation is complicated and, for the moment, dire. Despite her long relationship with Mercado—they are registered domestic partners who wed in 2004—Tan is in the U.S. illegally. This month she was ordered to appear in court with a plane ticket to the Philippines. There was an appeal, and she won a stay until April 22, but may be deported then. "Why is this happening to them?" asks Mercado's mother, Renee, 76 (Tan is her primary caretaker). "It doesn't happen often that people find this kind of love."
Tan came to California in 1986 on a tourist visa and overstayed after she met Mercado. "We needed to be together," says Mercado, 48, who works for an insurance company. Were her spouse a man, Tan would be here legally with a green card. But while states may recognize same-sex marriages, the federal government doesn't allow gay spouses to sponsor partners for citizenship (see box). Their boys, to whom Tan gave birth using Mercado's eggs, are citizens. So is Mercado. But "I have no rights to do something for her," she says. "I feel so helpless." She even considered getting a surgical sex change. "I don't want to," she says. "But I asked the boys if that's the only way to keep Mommy here, would it be okay? They said, 'Go ahead so we can stay together.'"
Besides the prospect of leaving her family, Tan dreads a return to the Philippines, where in 1979, she says, a cousin shot her in the head and killed her mother and sister. In 1995 she applied for asylum based on the fear of violence (her cousin, she says, served a prison sentence and is now free). The request was denied. But the couple say they believed their case was still under review; they also say they never got a 2002 order of deportation. Nevertheless, ICE officials finally got around to enforcing it this year. "We are following the law," says ICE spokeswoman Lori Haley. "There is nothing personal about this."
On April 3 California Representative Jackie Speier arranged the postponement, and U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein are reviewing Tan's case. Yet they would have to issue a rare private bill, crafted solely for Tan, to save her. "That's a long shot," says Rachel Tiven, executive director of Immigration Equality, a group pushing for passage of the Uniting American Families Act. Tan's is a perfect test case. She and Mercado are churchgoers, school fund-raisers and former choir members. Says Tiven: "They are exactly the kind of people you want living in this country."
The couple could move to another country, but that would mean taking the boys away from friends and Mercado finding another job. The alternative seems unthinkable. "I love my mom and I don't want her to leave," says Jashley, who, like brother Joriene, can barely talk about the case. Neither can their parents, whose eyes well up when discussing it. "I told Shirley, 'Please don't pack.' I just don't want to see her packing," says Mercado. "We are hoping for a miracle."

[Hey, You!] Stadium Angel
You were the guy who stopped my buddy and me from buying tickets at Game 3 of the Angels playoff series, leading to one of the greatest days ever. We are two workaholics who finally couldn't take another day in the office and left work early to see if we could catch the daytime game. On the way, I called around for tickets, but it was a sellout. We figured we would pay some scalper an exorbitant amount for some nosebleed seats. A few wrong turns, and we were inside the stadium where no scalpers were allowed. We decided to check if any tickets were available at the box office. Right before we were going to buy tickets far, far from home plate, you interrupted us and said, "Before you buy those tix, you can have these. I'm not selling them, just want to give them to people who want to see the game and won't resell them." We happily took you up on your offer and enjoyed the game from seats a few rows behind third base. You even refused the beer I offered as a thanks, so this is my thank you to you, anonymously given, so I don't get fired for playing hooky.

Now that Dorchester School District 2 voters have said Yes 4 Schools, the school board has to figure out where to start spending the $180 million on new schools and renovations.
We are putting together a plan, said District Superintendent Joe Pye. Where are we going? What are the decisions we have to make? Which projects need to get out of the ground now?
The board will have a workshop at 4:30 p.m. Monday to figure out the next step.

The Bilderberg group has stated that the human world population needs to decrease to 500 million people. We are currently at 7 billion. Decreasing to this level would put the earth back in biological balance and save it from ecological disaster. Mother nature however has a way of doing this through starvation as resources vanish and starvation occurs through famine. Global Climate change might be the start as world deserts are expanding at a faster rate then ever seen with crop failures and food shortages now forecast. Sea rising will also drive populations further inland further destroying fertile soil
and casing starvation and death. Violent weather will become worse as the normal cyclonic currents of the oceans get disrupted by cold water melt from the North shutting down this vital flow.
When the human population approaches 10 billion.

We explore the oft-neglected role of intrinsic natural curvature on the mechanics of elastic rods. Our testbed, a hanging hair, is a deceivingly simple system that exhibits complex mechanics and geometrically nonlinear behavior. Through a combination of precision desktop-scale experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis, we seek physical insight into the nontrivial configurations adopted by a naturally curved elastic rod that is suspended under its own weight. In particular, we aim to gain predictive understanding of the transition from planar to non-planar solutions as well as the localization of torsion in the non-planar configurations. The experimentally observed behavior of our custom-fabricated naturally curved rods is captured well by simulations and is rationalized through scaling arguments.

Saturday we leave for our annual trip to DHs family for the 4th. Its a really great weekend... lots of fun food, lots of drinking and lots of craziness.
Of course this year a lot of the food is out for me (unless I want to spend all day throwing up!), all of the drinking is out and the waterskiing, tubing and other stuff they have planned for the 3rd are not really the best idea either.
We're trying to decide whether it'll be easier just to tell people about the baby, although at just under 8 weeks and with no u/s to provide at lesat some comfort that things are progressing as they should I'm reluctant to let the cat out of the bag.
I know my husband will be awesome, helping me get out of things, drinking stuff that people force on me etc, etc, but I'm still a little concerned. Truth be told, I'm also nervous about how I'll handle it if anything starts to go wrong while we're away.
Does anyone have any advice?

DIY Boho Patchwork Shorts!By Dana Fox
I spent the past two days getting this little project together and am happy with how it turned out! I wanted to create some custom boho style shorts like the ones you see at Free People… but obviously I didn't want to spend any hard earned cash on something I knew I could pull off. Get ready for a long, photo-filled DIY project, friends!
For my shorts, I used a pair of old unauthentic Rock & Republic jeans (ew). If you know me at all, I'm a huge designer denim fanatic and am 100% against fakes (do you like funding terrorism? I sure don't…). I purchased these in my uneducated days from Ebay and never ended up wearing them after I realized the seller sent me a faux pair. So, what a better way to make use of some unused denim than to tear these babies up and create something totally new?! I also used a bunch of vintage fabrics I had sitting around…

Brother Names with Different Styles
I'm usually really concerned about sibsets that flow nicely. But lately I have really liked Joseph, River, and Silas together. Joseph is classic, River is a nature word name, and Silas is a semi-classic with a nature meaning. I especially like Joseph (nickname Zeph) and River (occassional nickname Rio) together.
What do you think about Joseph and River? Do they sound odd as brothers?
What do you think about Joseph, River, and Silas? Would you use an eclectic group of names like this? Would you even consider this an "eclectic group"?

I think the names sound great together. They're rhythmically in sync, Biblical (if you count references to the river Jordan), and I wouldn't part with any of them.

Product Review (submitted on February 27, 2013):
Much like so of the other reviews listed here, this tea was an impulse purchase. Actually, it was strictly to put me over the $50 mark to get the free shipping. What a delightful surprise! The flavors blended in this tea are such an amazing combination...almonds, vanilla, etc! It is a very smooth and comforting tea and I have already purchased a lb. A must try for any tea drinker, especially those looking outside at an enormous amount of snow.

Mr. Moroney Goes to Washington
Dallas Morning News publisher and CEO Jim Moroney will be in D.C. tomorrow for a hearing on "The Future of Journalism," scheduled to kick off at 1:30 p.m. C.S.T. in front of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee's Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet, whew. And he'll be joined by an all-star cast that includes no less than David Simon (the former Baltimore Sun writer responsible for, among other television series, Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire) and The Huffington Post's namesake Arianna Huffington, along with bigwigs from Google, the Knight Foundation and The Washington Post.
Simon gave what's likely a sneak preview of his testimony two weeks ago, when he insisted in an interview with the Nieman Journalism Lab that newspapers ought to charge for online content. Because, after all, "Television was free 30 years ago. Now everybody's paying 16 bucks a month, 17 bucks a month, 70 dollars a month." Moroney said something similar in an interview with Unfair Park in February: "Two years ago, I would have told you that asking people to pay for content on the Web is a ridiculous notion. Today, I will tell you it's almost imperative we experiment with it to see what the consumer will respond to." The hearing will be Web cast Wednesday on the committee's site.

This review is from: RAZER Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat
Pros: Dual control surfaces allow speed or accuracy
grip/wrist pad
Surface size
Cons: Surfaces separate from back board regardless or use or wear over time.
6 month warranty period for a 35.00 mouse pad.
Zero Razer Support with regards to the issue or fixes
Other Thoughts: I bought this pad in May of 2012. I have used the control (rough side) surface EXCLUSIVELY and always with the cushioned grip pad in place underneath. November of 2013 i notice there seemed to be a raised portion on the bottom left of the pad i pressed it back down and it remained for a couple of days before reappearing. fast forward to now and the entire bottom corner is actively coming away from the backing and smoothing it down only works for maybe a minute or two. I am no pro gamer. with 3 kids I'm lucky to have time at all. So it's not a use issue. There are almost NO SIGNS of wear but the surface is coming up. This is happening also on the opposite side. Which i have NEVER used, but it is happening on the the top left and bottom right of that side. Put simply it seems the adhesive breaks down so that the surfaces come away from the backing simply with time. And I'm sure that time varies from person to person and usage. But the bottom line and implication seems to be that if you NEVER used this pad then it would still with in (my guess here) 2-3 years peel away from itself requiring you to replace it even thought its not worn out. This to me is unacceptable for a 35.00 mouse pad. It like it has a fail mechanism built in so that you HAVE to replace it regardless of its condition.
I of course contacted razer to see if they knew about the issue and a fix. like say heating the surface to get the adhesive to reactivate or well anything really. But since the warranty is out (again a whopping 6 months) it seems i have no options and they're not handing out ideas. So while i must admit it was great while it lasted. But like a strung out girlfriend, its going to come apart on you. AVOID IT!
This review is from: Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
Pros: Great wireless signal, stable connections (least for me), easy initial setup if you have a simple network good transfer speeds on local network transfers. Full spectrum of QoS, port forwarding/ triggering options
Cons: QoS or advance packet priority management interface not setup as user friendly as a lot of other routers.
OPEN NAT ISSUES WITH XBOX 360s potentially with one Xbox, FOR SURE with multiple xboxes. (see other thoughts)
Expensive in my opinion to have such an obvious issue and apparently no intent to fix it. I have three xboxes in my home all the time for myself and my sons to game together online without having to split screen. With my old dgl-4500 which this router initially replaced we had no issues...but after two lightning strikes and almost 3 years the dgl-4500 started randomly dropping out and was showing connections that weren't there so figured time to replace. Now let me say that I had also a playstation 3, satellite dvr, two desktops, laptop, iPad, 2 iPhones, and a gaming rig hooked up to this router via multiple switches and wireless, that run with no problem that I ran into...Till I turn on more than one Xbox.
Other Thoughts: Cisco does not support the port configuration that Xbox uses to communicate with Xbox live. This will means when you try to connect to Xbox live your NAT WILL BE RESTRICTED possibly with just one xbox ( I didn't have a problem with just one) but for sure if you have more than one Xbox and try to have them on at the same time? This means that if youand whoever is on the other Xbox will have problems connecting to groups, games,and hearing recieving communication from others on voice chat. Per their own manual they do not recommend two game systems connecting to the same server that r attached to the same router. This issue is allover the forums for this router and the v2. This was a deal breaker for me and i urge u to check the forums out if you r a gamer thinking of getting this router. My old DGL-4500 nor the ASUS RT-N56U i replaced this cisco with had/have any issues with open NAT or multiple xboxes.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Western Digital Blue WD1600AAJB 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Well at the time i thought it was cost effective and generally reliable. Haven't had any issues with any other WD drives i've installed. Guess it was just my time to get a dud.
Cons: Bought in April, bad sectors affecting back ups in October so scan disk repair, dead in November.
Other Thoughts: Just a theory but the old dell i put this in has an odd vertical mounting for the hard drive and since this is the only WD i've had go bad was in this position it may be worth noting. Replacing with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160215A 160GB which feels weird as i'm normally replacing stock seagates with the WD's but IDE is near dead and i'm not gonna get bit by the same drive again so...if seagate goes bad in this set up also will adjust review accordinglyREAD FULL REVIEW

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

Arranged-Marriage Fiasco Involving Iraqi Family Ends With Everyone Getting Probation
Three members of an Iraqi family living in Phoenix have been sentenced to probation for their various roles in the abuse of a fellow family member who refused an arranged marriage.
Yusra Farhan, 50, pleaded guilty last month to unlawful imprisonment, and Mohammed Altameemi, 45, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for alleged attacks against their 19-year-old daughter. The girl's younger sister, 18-year-old Tabarak Altameemi, pleaded guilty to assault.

Farhan was arrested twice earlier this year -- once after an incident that landed her 19-year-old daughter in the hospital, and again after investigators discovered she allegedly tied up and burned her daughter for refusing an arranged marriage with a 38-year-old man back in November.

According to court documents previously obtained by New Times, Farhan was initially arrested on February 10 after telling police she beat her daughter with a shoe and tied her to a bed because her "Iraqi culture states that a female is not allowed to be having contact with males because females are not allowed to have boyfriends."
A week later, Farhan was arrested along with Mohammed and Tabarak Altameemi, after police got more details about the beating that put the woman in the hospital.
The woman's father, Mohammed Altameemi, got a call from the teacher about his daughter not going to class. He admitted he hit his daughter when she got home, but she told the cops he also put a knife to her neck and said he was going to kill her. He denied using or threatening a knife on his daughter.
After the alleged knife incident, Tabarak Altameemi "intervened" in the situation after her sister locked herself in her room. According to the documents, Tabarak Altameemi, her other sisters, and her mother kicked in the door and all assaulted her.
The woman later told counselors at school that her mouth was taped shut, and her hands and feet were tied to the bed.
The documents said Tabarak Altameemi admitted to tying up her sister with a metallic rope when they kicked down her door at home, but later told police it was her mother who actually did that. She also gave information about an attack the prior year -- during which she shattered glass over her sister's head -- but she didn't give any reasoning for that.
All three family members involved were sentenced to two years of probation with domestic-violence terms.

It is not food, any more than leather or paper are. Avoid.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Absolutely not. Even when I was vegan I would not touch that crap. It's not food; it's an industrial waste product.
Nope, not a chance...
I'd rather have a stash of pemmican or trail mix, and conveniently "accidentily" wonder off during that meal.

Proud of city's new directionsFebruary 05,2013With all due respect for Dave Allaire, and his many years of service to Rutland City, I disagree with his assertion that we need to "take back the pride." As I look around Rutland, I feel great pride with what has been happening over the past few years, a pride I did not feel when I first moved to Rutland 16 years ago. On Saturdays, I enjoy walking over to the new Vermont Farmers Food Center, which has so brightened a formerly blighted section of town. When I wander through town, I am thrilled to support so many new businesses owned by folks my age who decided to take a chance in Rutland City, such as Roots, Make it Sew, Fruition, Cobra, and Café Terra. I am also pleased with the investments that older and more established businesses, such as Green Mountain Power and Small Dog Electronics, are bringing downtown. I happily watch as solar panels go up, driving conversation about energy production right here in Rutland. I realize that there is still work to be done in Rutland City. But I do not want to go "back." Instead, I want to continue progressing forward with the proud momentum of the past few years. And for this reason, and many others, I will be voting for Chris Louras for mayor on Town Meeting Day.

Afghanistan has inaugurated its first new president in a decade, swearing in Ashraf Ghani to head a power-sharing government. Joining him on stage Monday was Abdul Rashid Dostum, Afghanistan's new vice president. Dostum is one of Afghanistan's most notorious warlords, once described by Ghani himself as a "known killer." Dostum's rise to the vice presidency comes despite his involvement in a 2001 massacre that killed up to 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war.

Gunmen killed three women and an 8-month-old baby girl at a house in a community in eastern Guatemala, emergency services officials said Sunday.
The gunmen were drinking beer Saturday night in a store operated out of the residence when they suddenly "drew their weapons and opened fire in an indiscriminate manner," a fire department spokesman said.
Sandra Linares, 24, and her daughter, Darlin, 8 months, were pronounced dead at the scene, while Reina Linares, 22, and Juana Enriquez, 44, died while being treated at a public hospital.
Enriquez was the mother of Linares and the grandmother of the baby, officials said.
Maribel Ramirez Enriquez, 18, was seriously wounded in the shooting.
The incident occurred in a poor neighborhood in Asuncion Mita, a town in Jutiapa province some 190 kilometers (118 miles) east of the capital.
Investigators still do not have a motive for the shooting, but media reports said the women may have been killed as revenge for supposed acts committed by a man who was related to one of the victims.
The gunmen fled in a taxi that was passing through the neighborhood.
More than 350 women, according to official figures, have been murdered this year in Guatemala, with the majority of the killings going unpunished. EFE

Very nice tasting chili this is! When making it I took your advice (since we DO like lots of beans in our chili) & used 2 additional cans of those as well as another can of the tomatoes! So easy to make it, too! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
As written this was OK for us. We thought the chili was way too thin and the sauce didn't have much taste. I added onion powder, minced garlic, tomato sauce and tomato paste and then we enjoyed it more. I also added two cans of black beans and only one heaping tablespoon of chili powder as I don't like it too spicy. This was very easy to make.
I did add a very small dash of onion powder, and some pepper to this, and this was some of the best chili we have had in a while. Loved the chili powder and used what was posted in the recipe. Great little treat for a cool, damp day. Made for 1-2-3 hits.
I loved that this chili was more soupy then stew like consistency. I wasn't sure about the amount of chili powder, thinking it might be too much, but it was the right amount for me. To me it was just lacking some seasoning, so I added some garlic powder, salt, pepper and onion salt, next time I would add chopped onion to the meat, while browning. I used dark red kidney beans, as thats what I had on hand and it wouldn't change the flavor of the chili sauce. I used Rotel for the tomatoes and peppers mix and did opt to add the cheddar cheese and green onion. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

The fist-bump has largely replaced the handshake and to some extent the high-five among today's youth in general, athletes in particular. Eddie Hanks and Jon Alouf need to have a care when greeting a friend or teammate in such a manner. Someone could end up needing stitches.
RADFORD –– Xavier Rodriguez earned three top-four finishes while two Grayson County teammates also managed all-state efforts at the Group A state track and field championships last weekend at Radford University.
Rodriguez, a senior, placed second in the 100 meters with a time of 10.97 seconds, just .31 behind state champion Jestin Brown of Altavista.
Rodriguez also placed third in the 400 with a time of 50.48 and was fourth in the 200 (22.24).
One thing that sets soccer apart from most other sports, aside from the fact that nobody pounces on a loose ball, is that for the most part there is a continuously-running clock.
Gate City had Galax in sore need of a timeout on Tuesday.
Giving up two early goals, the Maroon Tide never fully recovered and dropped a 4-1 decision to the Blue Devils in the Group A boys' soccer quarterfinals at the East River Soccer Complex.
PULASKI –– As if the baseball gods had seen enough shoddy play for one evening – 10 runs and six errors in a 50-minute first inning – nearly three inches of rain pounded Calfee Park Tuesday, in effect telling Clintwood and Galax to go home and come back when they could do the game justice.
Galax got the message.
Picking up in the top of the third inning Thursday with Clintwood leading 7-6, Galax played flawlessly the rest of the way and pulled out an 11-7 win in the Group A Division 1 state quarterfinals.
RADFORD –– Nearly every member of Galax's baseball team has multiple state championship rings from other sports. Some own as many as five. None would be as improbable as this.
A two-out RBI single by Bryant Cox in the bottom of the 11th inning extended by one more day what has been a magical year for Galax athletics and propelled the Maroon Tide into yet another state championship game as the Tide pulled off a grueling 4-3 win over Rappahannock in the Group A Division 1 semifinals Friday at Radford University.
BLUEFIELD, W.Va. –– One impressive streak came to an end Thursday. Another is alive and kicking.
Andres Medina saw his string of scoring at least three goals end at six games, but Galax earned a spot in the Group A state soccer tournament for the third straight year, powering past James River 4-1 in the Region C semifinals at the East River Soccer Complex.
GLADE SPRING –– It took a year, but Galax finally figured out what was an insurmountable lead when playing Holston – eight runs, not seven.
Galax bolted to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, took a 10-2 lead into the seventh and held it this time around, blowing past Holston in the Region C Division 1 championship game at Patrick Henry High School. The win brings with it a home game in the first round of the Division 1 state tournament Tuesday, either against Clintwood or Castlewood. Those two met Sunday for the Region D title.
INDEPENDENCE –– There are probably worse ways to see a season come to an end. Grayson County players would have been hard-pressed to come up with one Tuesday.
Mother Nature robbed the Blue Devils of their final two at-bats, and Floyd County claimed a rare region tournament win in baseball, holding off Grayson 4-0 in five innings in a rain-shortened Region C Division 2 game at GNB Park.
Skies opened up with one out in the bottom of the sixth, and following lengthy delay, officials finally called the game at around 7:20 p.m.
INDEPENDENCE –– It took Grayson County two days to get its first hit. Once the ice was broken, the Blue Devils were fine.
Playing two scoreless innings Tuesday before the skies opened up, Grayson County picked up with a three-run third inning on Wednesday and blanked Fort Chiswell 7-0 in a Region C Division 2 softball first round game at the Grayson Rec Park.
Choosing a college is rarely an easy choice under any circumstances. Probably even more so for a prospective athlete, with so many unknowns involved.
Factor in the little detail that Deion George also had to choose between sports, and his decision must have really been a tough one.
But it seems one can never go wrong by picking the route George chose.

Dear Reader,
It's summertime in Chicago and it means we get outdoors! There will be gardening, barbecues, and summer vacation. My family and I are going to Puerto Rico, we've been there several times before and the since my girls are getting older they want to sprawl around on the beach, read books and admire the 'real estate'. That's our code for HOT guys, they say things like 'How about the skyscraper in the yellow board shorts,' and I give them the thumbs up or down. What? I'm a romance author, so I think love is in the air everywhere!
Binding Arbitration is back with a new updated version of it's bestselling cover art, you can check it out on Amazon and look for it here soon! Cutters Vs. Jocks and Signing Bonus will get facelifts as well, look for the new covers by the end of June or early July. If you haven't already, make sure you sign up for my newsletter and you can get a FREE ebook copy of Cutters Vs. Jocks or Signing Bonus when you subscribe.
I have a re-release coming soon too. The Deadly Fairy Tales Series: The Seer, Book 1, All's Fair in Vanity's War, Book 2 and Something Greedy This Way Comes, Book 3. Hopefully these will release by the end of July. It's been a slow process, totally reworking the whole series but I think I've turned it into something intriguing for the young adult market. If you like witches, Celtic myths and legends and want to learn what really happened during the Salem witch trials this series is for you.
My new adult/contemporary romance TELL ME SOMETHING REAL is almost complete, the cover is coming along and I'm just finishing my blurb (I have to write around 10 versions and get lots of feedback before I'm satisfied) and then a final edit. I would look for it sometime at the end of summer or early fall, depending on how the fates align.
My summertime spotlight read is BINDING ARBITRATION, the second book in the Chicago Series. Check out this second chance contemporary romance featuring a professional baseball player trying to win back the heart of the only girl he ever needed, the child he never knew he wanted and a life filled with a love much bigger than the one he imagined. Remember today and everyday that Forgiveness is a four-letter word: LOVE.

Happy reading & reviewing!
