Who owns Bellaire Bridge scrap metal?
BENWOOD – Bellaire Bridge owner Lee Chaklos may not own the rights to any scrap metal that would result from the demolition of the structure, according to new court documents.
Three liens against the bridge collectively total $2,126,400, said attorney Dan Guida, representing the city of Benwood. The first of those liens is with DAC Audit Services of Clarkston, Mich., which invested $820,0000 with Chaklos. The company believes it now owns the scrap metal as a result of the deal.
Chaklos co-owns the Bellaire Bridge with his wife, Krystal Chaklos, under the name KDC Investments. The couple resides in Virginia Beach, Va.
"DAC Audit Services has never, never owned the bridge," Lee Chaklos said. "KDC Investments owns the bridge."
He added he could not make further comment on the matter at the advice of his attorney.
A "mediation statement supplementation" filed last week by Guida with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in Columbus provides details of the financial situation Chaklos faces. Guida states in court documents that Benwood would be at least the fourth party to receive any money from the bridge's scrap metal if Chaklos and his construction company, Delta Demolition, started the demolition then were not able to complete the job.
Chaklos' failure to secure a $1 million performance bond has been a factor in Benwood officials not giving him a permit to begin demolition of the span.
Last month, U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley set a criminal contempt hearing for Bellaire Bridge owner Lee Chaklos for 9:30 a.m. Sept. 10 after learning that Chaklos apparently failed to disclose the liens against the span.
The first of the liens belongs to DAC Audit Services, Guida said. The firm was "promised to receive a hefty return on its investments once the Bellaire Bridge was demolished and the scrap steel was sold," he said.
"DAC Audit Services believes it purchased the scrap steel from Mr. Chaklos when it entered into two contracts for the sale and purchase of commercial or industrial property with him in November 2010," Guida said.
"Mr. Chaklos may not even own the scrap steel from the Bellaire Bridge since it was sold to DAC Audit Services pursuant to two contracts for this sale and purchase of commercial or industrial property. At the minimum, Mr. Chaklos should have notified this court that there was a dispute as to the ownership of the scrap steel."
The second of the liens is with RFK Enterprises of New Castle, Pa., who made investments totalling $1,206,400 beginning in March 2011 through May 2012. Chaklos promised RFK "it would receive a high return on its investments once the Bellaire Bridge was demolished, and the scrap steel sold." In the agreement, Chaklos listed all steel scrap from the bridge as collateral, according to Guida.
The third lien is with the Scrap Dynamics Corp. of Aurora, Ohio, who Guida said invested $100,000 with Chaklos on May 4, 2012. In exchange, Chaklos promised the company it would become the exclusive purchaser of the bridge scrap.
Chaklos testified in depositions dated April 25 that DAC Audit Services would be the first paid through sale of the bridge's scrap metal; RFK Enterprises, second on the list; and Scrap Dynamics, third.
Late last year, when Chaklos was not able to secure a $1 million performance bond, Benwood officials amended their requirement for him to achieve a demolition permit. They dropped their request to a $500,000 cash bond.
Guida notes in the filing that Chaklos – during a mediation hearing on July 16 – offered to deposit $250,000 into an escrow account. If a permit were then issued by the city of Benwood, he said he would then begin demolition of the Bellaire Bridge on the Bellaire side. He hoped to secure the additional $250,000 needed by selling the scrap steel from the bridge as he worked his way toward the Benwood side, according to Guida.
Guida believes Chaklos misled the court, and that "it's impossible for him to obtain an additional $250,000 from the steel scrap to pay the city of Benwood monies pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement."

i love kraft. kraft anything really. and i've stuck with kraft envelopes since the shoppe opened; it's worked pretty well thus far. i think it helps set SB apart from others. they're 100% recycled and acid free. the texture presents a lovely but subtle contrast to the smooth paper surface on which all other shoppe items are printed. kraft is also versatile and compliments most palettes. i like versatility too.
but, i've been pondering. and i'd like your help. are you cool with kraft envelopes? what type of envelopes might you like to see in the shoppe? kraft? white? multi? or would you like a choice of all of the above? i've used bloggers' hand dandy poll widget. see it? it's over there on the right >> i'd love to know what you think. if the multiple choice answers don't fit your thoughts, just leave a comment!

I thought that Mona was banned from the kitchen. Anything more than brewing coffee or microwaving ramen noodles being beyond her abilities.
One wonders if her mom ever tried to teach her how to cook.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! (No, really. You've all read or heard about the 33000 m.p.h. meteor that exploded over the southern Urals with the force of 20-30 Hiroshima atomic bombs?)
Well, this is even worse!
Even I (single old fart) can cook better than Mona!
re: sisyphos.
Yes, I read about the 7 to 10 ton meteorite that smacked into Chebarkul lake 78km from Chelyabinsk at a maximum of 10,000mph, and thus with a kinetic energy of about 23 tons of TNT or 15 tons of dynamite. The sonic boom of its passage must have been like an ICBM. (If it had been 200,000 to 300,000 tons, it would have leveled part of the city as it passed by, not just broken 2.15 million square feet of windows on that side of the city.)
The rock melted a neat round hole in the ice. The videos of the police checking it out showed them having driven large vehicles to points near the hole, indicating how thick the ice was.
One wonders why no video footage from the town of Chebarkul. Admittedly, it probably was moving pretty slow by the time it got there, judging from the circular hole, rather than a long cut in the ice/snow, but someone must have seen it or a security camera must have seen it.
Four days before that, a fireball was spotted over Sunriver at their Nature Observatory.
The day of the Chelyabinsk event, a large meteorite was seen over San Francisco, despite the tremendous sky glow.
One could get the idea that we have been passing through a debris field in space.
no problemo, just open a tin of raviolis

Learn the secrets to making sensational soup.
Get more great recipes for winter bean soups.
Take a culinary tour with our global soup recipes.
Winter Olympic Soups and Stews
With the Winter Olympics heating up Torino, it's the perfect
time to take an international tour of soups and stews that will warm your body and feed your athletic pursuits. Have your own après skiing or sledding party with these energy-boosting recipes from around the globe.
European Fare
We start our warm up in the Pyrenees of Northern Spain with a light Chickpea and Spinach Soup with Shrimp, Almonds and Garlic. Our ski adventure then takes us to chillier climbs in the French Alps. After getting your fill of the white stuff at Chamonix, you'll need to fuel up with a hearty bowl of Beef Bourguignon.
Heading east we venture into the Swiss Alps to St. Moritz, possibly the most famous ski resort in the world and home of the 1928 and 1948 Winter Olympics. For lunchtime you'll want to have a few slices of crusty bread to get every last drop of Swiss Onion Soup. Schussing off to next-door neighbor Austria and its majestic Tyrolean Alps, we dig into a steamy bowl of Sausage Ragout with Egg Noodlessure to keep you going for at least ten more powdery runs.
With the wind at our heels we travel north to Bavaria, Germany. Setting our sites on Garmish, host of the 1936 Winter Olympics, we know we're in for a wintry treat. With a terrain speckled by castles and enough vertical to make Johnny Mosley weak in the knees, the skiing here just beckons for something substantial like Bavarian Stew with Sausage and Sauerkraut.
It's gotten a bit chilly for us, so before we leave Europe it's time to head south to the Italian Dolomites for a little bit of la dolce vita. This breathtakingly beautiful ski area calls for a leisurely lunch break with some White Bean Soup with Shellfish and Pesto.
Exchanging our euros for yen we head to Nagano, Japan, site of the 1998 Winter Olympics. In the Hida Mountains, or Japan Alps, as they're commonly referred to, you'll find enough snowboarding and mogul skiing to tucker you out. Energize with a spirit-lifting cup of Michael Foley's Creamy Creamless Miso Soup with Potatoes.
Northern Exposure
With our bags packed with duty-free goodies, we land back in North America to ski some of British Columbia's best peaks at Whistler/Blackcomb. The French influence in Canada mingles with a laid back West Coast attitude for easy and comforting Four Way Onion Soup.
Travel weary, but still hungry, we've come back to the Northeast part of the United States for a few more days of fun at the wild and woolly Tuckerman's Ravine. There are no chairlifts here, so you'll need plenty of fuel to burn for the three-hour hike to the top. After a workout like that, you'll be happy you filled your thermos with Clam Chowder for an afternoon break.
Whether it's après ski or après laundry, we think you'll enjoy our warming winter recipes. So, pick a soup that reminds you of your favorite ski vacation or just throw a dart on the mapeither way, you'll find something delicious to cozy up with in front of the fireplace and share with someone special.
Take a global tour with our warm and winning soups and stews:

Power Sharing Talks In Greece Drag On
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece will get a new prime minister later Tuesday, senior government officials said, as the country's European partners ratcheted up the pressure for a swift resolution to the political crisis.
Talks between current Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras have dragged into a second day as they try to hammer out a power-sharing deal. The two agreed over the weekend to forge an interim government that will shepherd the country's new €130 billion ($179 billion) European rescue package through Parliament.
Without the deal, agreed less than two weeks ago, Greece would go bankrupt, potentially wrecking Europe's banking system and sending the global economy back into recession.
By Tuesday afternoon there were still no precise details of when the new interim prime minister would be announced but the pressure was increasing on Greek politicians to make decisions soon. There was mounting speculation that a former deputy at the European Central Bank, Lucas Papademos, may replace Papandreou.
"It must finish today. The only thing that counts is that we save the country," a senior Cabinet official said. "From the moment that Mr Samaras made the decision and supported this effort, he has been behaving impeccably and we are with him." The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations.
Another senior government official said Greece's eurozone partners are demanding that five top Greek officials co-sign a letter reaffirming their commitment to the country's bailout deals and economic reforms, in return for the release of a vital €8 billion ($11 billion) loan installment later this month. He said those officials are Papandreou and Samaras, the Bank of Greece governor, the new prime minister and the new finance minister.
Earlier, the country's ministers offered their resignations to Papandreou to pave the way for the creation of the interim government, which is only expected to last until Feb. 19.
"We have made our resignation available to the prime minister in order to help him with his actions," Tourism Minister George Nikitiadis said. "My feeling is that tonight we will have a name (of the new premier). It's going well."
The political crisis erupted last week, when Papandreou said he would put the new European rescue package to a referendum, and the country's international creditors froze the payment of the next installment from Greece's current loans.
Papandreou withdrew the plan Thursday after Samaras indicated he would back the new deal. But frustrated with the political turmoil in Greece, the international creditors have maintained the pressure even after the public vote idea was officially canceled.
Papandreou and Samaras reached a landmark agreement late Sunday for Papandreou to step down and the temporary government to be formed. The new prime minister would serve until an early election is held next year, with the most likely date being Feb. 19, the finance ministry has said.
None of the people being considered have been announced publicly.
"The country cannot take these petty political games any longer," said Dora Bakoyannis, a former foreign minister and conservative party lawmaker who was expelled from the party for breaking ranks and voting in favor of an earlier austerity plan. She has now formed her own party.
"The problem is not finding serious candidates, but whether those candidates will be allowed to do their job and not asked to be puppets," she added.
Greece has survived since May 2010 on a €110 billion ($150 billion) rescue-loan program from its eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund, but all agree it's not enough. A second rescue package has been created which involves private bondholders who have agreed to cancel 50 percent of their Greek debt.
Though Greece has been locked out of long-term bond markets because of excessively-high interest rates, it has maintained a limited present in the market for short-term cash. It raised €1.3 billion in 26-week treasury bill auction Tuesday.
In return for its bailout cash, Greece has endured 20 months of punishing austerity measures. The efforts by Papandreou's government to keep the country solvent have prompted violent protests, crippling strikes and a sharp decline in living standards for most Greeks.

Question: My beloved cockerpoo Barkley is 3.5 months old. She started going out 2 weeks ago, during that time we switched her food from intestinal to regular puppy food (mixed them until it was done).
In the last 2 weeks she started itching her face and biting hard on her thighs, hands, legs, vaginal area and between her fingers.
Whenever she is back from her walk she is wheezing. We saw a healing wound on her tail about 3 weeks ago and she opened it a week ago, so now we are putting an antibiotics ointment on it and it has improved.
The vet told us to give her a shower with hypoallergenic healing shampoo and it seams that the biting and itching is better but not over.
We are so so worried and don't know what to do since the vet said she is too young for allergy treatment.
Is it the food? the grass? the tree? flowers?
Please advise, We don't know what to do
The worried parents,
Answer: Thanks for writing in. Dogs can develop food hypersensitivity/allergy at any age. If she started having these signs right around the time of a diet change, I would consider speaking to your vet about a hypoallergenic diet trial to see if she improves.
You can also ask about the usage of omega 3 fatty acids as they can help alleviate itchy skin—regardless of the cause. Also make sure your veterinarian has done scrapings of her skin to check for mites and mange—as these things can cause severe itching and biting and can be difficult to find on only one exam.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Dr. Donna Spector

After one of the darkest seasons in Milan's history, fans will be able to take a temporary breath of fresh air as the Rossoneri dominated Chievo Verona and took all three points with a convincing 3-0 win.
Clarence Seedorf's men recorded their second consecutive domestic win with the help of a Mario Balotelli strike in the early minutes and a brace from Kaka, who notched his 300th career appearance with the club.
The win helps Milan move closer to a possible European spot as they look to make a late-season surge up the table.
Here are five things we learned from this Serie A match:

Yep, just start saving up. It's going to be worth it, believe me :)
Pretty soon they'll be pining for the fjörds. I know I am.
Ah yes, the fjörds of Paris in the spring!
Actually, my brother is a policeman. He makes four times what I earn in a job in private industry. Likewise, my mother was a school teacher and she earned a respectable salary, too. I guess it's all relative. If you're comparing a policeman's salary with, say, that of Bill Gates, or a UAW auto worker, it's pathetic. But if you compare it with the salary of your average working stiff, or the laborers in some Mom and Pop market, it looks pretty darned good.
Better still, Barcelona!
If I'm gonna get shot at, I want money – lots of money. (And that includes our military, thank you very much.)
Actually, it would be nice for Val to have some professional success. A promotion to something she's into doing or very goos at. Would make a cool story line.
How about someplace really exotic – like Mississippi? Or is it Missouri? I never could get those two straight.
I have no interest in travel anymore, tho' I would if he wanted to. Anyplace we share a bed is fine with me (tho' some are more comfortable than others) ;-D
These two don't even see each other that often. It's a whole different thing compared to Wally and Val's sister.
Yep…I've always been taught, its not what you make, it's what you do with what you make.
What money or Paris, France? (I'd like to experience some money)
The police officer living down the block in my Chicago suburb is 42 years old and makes $102,000 a year. (salaries are posted in the local newspaper) Plus he gets to take the police car home, so there's no wear and tear or gas money spent on his personal car. I doubt it's that lucrative everywhere though.
Well, I don't know where this is leading…but let's GO! It's way past time!!!
Aww, these two are cute together!

KuppingerCole "Strongly Recommends" Oracle's Database Security Offerings
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on May 23, 2011
In a recently released report, leading European-based analyst firm KuppingerCole "strongly recommends" that organizations with Oracle Databases in production should consider Oracle's database security offerings. "From the KuppingerCole perspective, Oracle currently has the broadest portfolio in the market and delivers leading-edge products in all areas of database security," writes the report's author, Martin Kuppinger, founder and principal analyst, KuppingerCole.
Well-known for their thought leadership in information security and governance, risk management, and compliance, KuppingerCole decided to focus their attention on database security. Kuppinger writes that "the need for database security solutions is obvious," and explains that a significant number of data breaches and data theft occur at the databases level.
In the report, Kuppinger evaluated solutions such as Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Database Vault, and Oracle Label Security, which run within the Oracle Database, as well as solutions such as the new Oracle Database Firewall and Oracle Audit Vault, which run outside the database and support both Oracle and non-Oracle databases. You can read the report here.

Leading the workshop is Maestro Timothy Reynish of the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, England; Jessica Kun, assistant professor and conductor of the WLU Wind Orchestra, and Paul Pulford, conductor of the WLU Symphony Orchestra and associate dean of Lauriers Faculty of Music.
The symposium is an opportunity for attendees to learn more or brush up on conducting technique and gesture, and to develop a philosophical foundation for the conductor as an artistic conduit for the performance of musical compositions.
Participants will also have the opportunity to conduct both the WLU Symphony Orchestra and WLU Wind Orchestra in a workshop setting, and get feedback from Reynish, Kun and Pulford.
This gives people an opportunity to get coaching in conducting at any level, said Kun. We can provide positive feedback they can take back with them.
Reynish, one of the leading conductors of wind bands and wind ensembles in the world, discovered Kun at a conducting symposium when she was a high school music teacher. He took her to Manchester to train as an orchestral conductor.
If not for him, I would not being doing what Im doing right now, said Kun. And thats whats great about him. He sees things in other people they dont see in themselves.
Reynish will be staying on at Laurier after the symposium to coach chamber ensembles, conducting students, and lead a guest workshop with student composers. He will also rehearse with the WLU wind orchestra for their concert, which he will be guest conducting on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. in the Theatre Auditorium.

Shira, South Africa. 13 January 2015
pool quite big. kids enjoy it
Joshua, South Africa. 31 May 2015
This fire pool holds 6.4 thousand liters of water. This is enough to service a small to medium sized house in the event of a fire. Highly recommended
Eddie, South Africa. 21 October 2015
I would recommend this to any household that does not have a permanent built in pool.
Initially bought this for rinsing scuba gear, but this has become our permanent cool off pool.
Have installed a 4.5KW permanent pump system and creepy crawly and it works like a dream.
The only downer with this is that the pump is not sufficient to keep the pool clean. So be prepared to buy an additional or alternative pump.

SPRINGFIELD (CBS) — Illinois' K-12 population will be held to stricter performance standards in state testing.
Consider the bar raised for the test known as ISAT. State Superintendent Chris Koch urged the school board to comply now.
"I know this is hard, but we have got to make this expectation change," says Koch. "You have over 20 years of ACT data showing when you raise that standard, look at how many kids that we have met that now rank number one in the country on performance of kids we test universally. You know that matters."
Koch says the idea is to better Illinois Public School kids for college and/or careers.
The State Board of Education approved the higher standards for ISAT, which will be replaced by a new test in two years.

The latest issue of Gut reports recommendations by a group of European experts for the clinical management of Lynch syndrome.
Lynch syndrome is characterized by the development of colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer and various other cancers, and is caused by a mutation in one of the mismatch repair genes, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2.
In 2007, a group of European experts published guidelines for the clinical management of Lynch syndrome.
Dr Hans Vasen from The Netherlands reported that since then, substantial new information has become available necessitating an update of the guidelines.
In 2011 and 2012 workshops were organized in Palma de Mallorca.
The doctors reported that a total of 35 specialists from 13 countries participated in the meetings.
The first step was to formulate important clinical questions.
The team of doctors performed a systematic literature search using the Pubmed database, and manual searches of relevant articles.
During the workshops the outcome of the literature search was discussed in detail.
Dr Vasen's team concluded, "The guidelines described in this paper may be helpful for the appropriate management of families with Lynch syndrome."
"Prospective controlled studies should be undertaken to improve further the care of these families."

HISD welcomes newest member of team
Laura Chesner
Staff Writer
Norris McDaniel loves Hearne schools and loves working for the children who attend them. He has retired twice from HISD and twice he has returned to work for the district when called upon. However, he would be happy to spend time with his wife and family in retirement if someone could be found to take over his position. Finally, Mr. McDaniel may just get to retire - meet Joyce Toney.
Joyce Toney went to grew up in Texas City and graduated from Texas A&M Texarcana, where she met her husband. Toney is a wife and mother of 5 adult children – two of whom are studying to become teachers and one who already teachers.
Mrs. Toney comes to HISD from Hempstead where she worked for 8 years in school administration. She was the principal at Hempstead Elementary for 6 years and then at Hempstead High School for 2 years. She loves being a part of student life and hopes to continue that here in Hearne. "Expect to see me at football games, county fair and UIL events rooting for our kids," said Toney
Her main goal at Hearne ISD is to learn what she can from those who came before her and to continue what seems to be working at HISD. "I'm excited to be here in this great city. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms and I am looking forward to getting to work with these lovely and dedicated folks," said Toney. Eventually, when she and the School Board feels she is ready, she will take over as Superintendant for the District and Mr. McDaniel will finally get to retire.

The inter-laboratory reproducibility of the STE test for assessing eye irritation of cosmetic products
- Type: Document
- Published: 2013-03-12
- Document Link
STE test is an in vitro eye irritation test using cell viability as an end point in SIRC cells following just a 5 minute treatment, and the good correspondence has been confirmed between the STE irritation categories (non irritant [NI] and irritant [I]) and GHS categories (NC and category 1 [Cat. 1]/category 2 [Cat. 2]). Generally, cytotoxicity tests using cultured cells have an advantage of being simple, a quick procedure, and a low evaluation cost. The STE test has the advantages not only easy-to-use but also evaluable the eye irritation potential of water insoluble substances by using mineral oil as test vehicle. The STE test is planned for peer review in 2013 and may be accepted as an OECD test guideline for classifying ocular irritation. In this study, the technical transferability and inter-laboratory reproducibility of the STE test were evaluated in 3 contract research laboratories as a naive laboratory.

'Limited Number' of Applicants to Replace US Attorney
Laramie, WY – A limited number of candidates applied to fill Wyoming's US Attorney position vacated by Matt Meade, but Senator Mike Enzi's office says those who did apply are qualified for the job.
Enzi's spokesman Coy Knobel did not reveal how many applications the senator received, but he says the limited number might have something to do with President George Bush. He says the new US attorney will likely only be in the job through the remaining year and a half of the president's term.
The president will consider three or more names from Enzi and the Senate will confirm the appointment.
Meade resigned earlier this month to seek the senate seat vacated by the late Craig Thomas.

Shelf Control: Enjoy Some Of The Best Humor Writing With McSweeney's
Happy April Fools' Day! Since today is the day most of us go out of our way to play practical jokes and hoaxes on one another, I figure that a playful app is in order for Shelf Control. So, this week's edition of Shelf Control is dedicated to the delightfully playful app McSweeney's. Released way back in September 2009, McSweeney's is the official iOS app of the San Francisco-based publishing house of the same name. The app is free to download for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It comes with a one-month subscription to the Small Chair, which can be reactivated for six months and renewed every six months thereafter for $2.99. If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here. What's the Small Chair, you ask? Well, it's that thing in the app's icon. Seriously, though, the Small Chair is a weekly selection from across the McSweeney's network of publications. The Small Chair may contain stories from the quarterly literary journal Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern. It may contain interviews from the monthly magazine The Believer. And it may contain short films from the quarterly DVD magazine Wholphin. In any case, whatever you get through the Small Chair is not available online, as opposed to … Articles from the literature and humor site McSweeney's Internet Tendency are also included in the app. Note that these articles are and will remain free even after your Small Chair subscription expires. [caption id="attachment_398316" align="aligncenter" width="480"] McSweeney's[/caption] One of my favorite sites to visit on the Web, McSweeney's Internet Tendency is home to a myriad of funny and tongue-in-cheek pieces. A couple of the most memorable ones happen to pertain to the iPhone and the iPad. There's "The iPhone: A User's Guide" and there's "Something is Wrong with My iPad: I Still Hate My Life." Either piece definitely makes for great reading this April Fools' Day. Again, McSweeney's is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and is available in the App Store for free. It also offers in-app purchases for select e-books from the McSweeney's publishing house. As always, if you have suggestions for Shelf Control, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or simply leave a comment below. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]

UN Security Council Emergency Session on Zionist Snow Conspiracy
Latest update: December 16th, 2013
The UN Security Council is to convene an emergency session to discuss the heavy snow storm enveloping Jerusalem. The 58 states who make up the Organization of Islamic Countries demanded the special session because of the untold suffering this is causing to the 200,000 Palestinians living in Jerusalem. In welcoming the move, Baroness Ashton of the EU confirmed that only Palestinian Arabs have been affected by the snow due to the racist 'security' wall that separates them from the 650,000 Jewish (illegal) settlers living in Jerusalem.
Speaking from Ramallah the Palestinian Authority's leading cleric Sheikh Mohammed Luni Jihad asserted that the Israelis created the snowstorm specifically to punish the Palestinians and in particular to destroy the Al Asqa Mosque. While some climate scientists have disputed certain aspects of the Sheikh's claim, there is universal agreement that this kind of freak snowstorm is due to man-made global warming which is caused mainly by the Zionist control of all the world's natural resources. Al Gore and David Cameron both confirmed that the 'science was settled' for this.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon was quick to agree to the special security council session, stating that there was no greater tragedy in the world today than the sufferings of the Palestinians, and that the snowstorm was a 'disproportionate response' by the Israelis to recent 'minor' provocations. The latter reference was to the totally harmless past time of Arab youths in Jerusalem to stone Jewish women and children (which in some cases does not even lead to death or serious injury). US Secretary of State John Kerry warned the Israelis that if the snow storm was allowed to continue – and hence deprive the Palestinian youths of the opportunity to stone Jews – then he would personally support a third intifada. Fortunately the Arab youths have already found inventive ways to express their frustrations in the snow.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was especially scathing in his criticism of the Israelis. He believes the snow storm has been created not just to persecute Palestinians but also to give the Israelis an excuse to delay the release of the next bunch of convicted terrorists earning Masters degrees in Israeli prisons.
Meanwhile on campuses through the western world students mobilized to show their support for the suffering Palestinians. A common theme expressed in protests was that the snow storm was an attempt by the Israelis to 'whitewash their crimes against humanity'.
The Disasters and Emergencies Committee (DEC) has also launched an emergency appeal to ensure that additional money can be given to the Palestinians to buy tobogans and ski equipment for the terrorists released from prison who are all struggling to survive on an EU-funded salary of just $50,000 per year.

Then it seems to me that they had better watch their asses. But they need a little practice since they snowed on Zionists too. It was to throw everyone off the trail!!!! How are the drugs in the PA? The sheyk should report on that.
This is what y'all get for taking these blokes seriously.
Looney Tunes are always right. It is the Zionists who caused the snow storm .
Hey many christians still blame the Jews for killing their god. Passéd down for the past couple thousand years. Also pretty looney.
if they don't like the snow in jersualem, then send them back to Eygpt to enjoy the ten plagues that our Hashem sent to them. It is not the jews that made the snow but Hashem. Apparently their pagan gods did nothing for their worshippers while Hashem protected us.
yes. we do that when we get annoyed. severely annoyed.

Looks Like Dempster Close to Being Dealt to Dodgers (UPDATES)
Per Jim Bowden of ESPN the Cubs and Dodgers are just about done negotiation and have agreed on a deal for Dempster. Per Bowden they are dotting the I's and crossing the T's, should be announced soon. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE! So please take it for what it's worth, I will update as news comes in.
[UPDATE 1] Phil Rogers on MLBN says the Cubs are still pushing to get Allen Webster in the deal from the Dodgers, might be including another player.
[UPDATE 2] Kevin Goldstein thinks that if this is a multi-player deal that James Russell would be the other player going to the Dodgers. Cubs really want Webster.
[UPDATE 3] Multiple reports now that another team has emerged for Dempster and the Cubs are talking to them now. This would be the Cubs using big time leverage against the Dodgers, something they didn't have prior to today, who's going to blink??
[UPDATE 4] Tom Verducci just said on MLBN that the Cubs have broke off talks with the Dodgers and are not talking with the Yankees and a mystery team. Dodgers are going to have to cough up what the Cubs want or watch Dempster go elsewhere, or that's what the Cubs want the Dodgers to think at least.
[UPDATE 5] Dempster has told Bruce Levine that he will accept a deal to the Yankees, Dodgers, or Rangers. Thanks Ryan as we sit here an hour and 15 minutes from the deadline.
[UPDATE 6] Per Tim Brown of Yahoo sports the Dodgers have pulled out of talks with the Cubs over Dempster. A very real chance that Dempster pitches for the Cubs tonight, ick.
[UPDATE 7] With just minutes to go, the Rangers are sneaking in ahead of the Yankees, nothing confirmed yet. CBS is reporting Rangers.
[UPDATE 8] Multiple sources reporting Dempster has been traded to the RANGERS, craziness. Updates coming.

Horrific Inning Does in Cubs
Just a terrible night all around as if it could go wrong it did as Matt Garza left the game with an injury, the Cardinals scored 12 runs in the seventh inning, and the Cubs only managed three hits off of Cy Young, I mean Jake Westbrook in a 12-0 embarrassment. The Garza injury, or possible injury hurts quite a bit more than losing 12-0 as it could deter teams from offering a big return for Garza. Any time there is any trepidation the price could go down but no one knows how bad it is right now. Based on everything that is coming from the post game it sounds like it's just cramping but nothing is for sure yet. Garza was good, really good before being forced to leave the game after the third. He went three innings giving up no runs on two hits while walking two and striking out three. Recently acquired Justin Germano came on in relief and did an outstanding job going three plus innings giving up one run on four hits while walking none and striking out one. Unfortunately Germano was hung with the loss as he was responsible for the first runner on in the seventh. The Cardinals proceeded to score 12 runs in the inning on ten hits, seven of which were doubles, and one was a triple. James Russell and Manny Corpas were responsible for most of the damage although only one ball was hit hard in the inning. The Cubs were just as bad offensively in their second straight loss as they could only manage four singles. Full box score and highlights after the jump.
Cubs First Half in the Books
Can't believe that the Cubs have already played 81 games, seemed like just yesterday the season started. Here is a recap of what transpired over the first three months of the 2012 season, and my thoughts.
Let's start with the bad –
- When talking about the bad moments of the first half it's hard to ignore the 12 game losing streak which took place from May 15 thru May 27. Before the streak the Cubs were 15-20, and playing rather well, in fact given how well the Cubs played the majority of their games it wasn't crazy to think that if the bullpen resembled anything close to Major League caliber that the Cubs would be at .500.
- That leads me to Carlos Marmol. Marmol was a disaster in the first 81 games of the season, although he has been pitching better of late. Marmol was placed on the DL after a May 11th game against the Brewers, at the time he had an ERA of 6.35 and had been removed from the closers role in favor of Rafael Dolis. Marmol had as many blown saves (2) as saves before being DL'd. Since coming off the DL, and being thrown back into the closer role Marmol is 6-for-6 in save opportunities and has lowered his ERA to 4.74, it might have a lot to do with this.
- Chris Volstad has to be mentioned here as well as he had and is having a horrific first half. Volstad finished the first half, which included a trip to Iowa, with an 0-7 record and a 7.94 ERA. Sometimes numbers don't tell the whole story, in this case I don't think they tell enough of it. Volstad has completely lost all confidence, he's pitching as if he expects to lose. I guess that will happen to a guy that hasn't won a game in a calendar year.
- The record. Coaches, players, fans, and executives alike knew that this season would be a rough one, they didn't think it would be this rough. I for one have no problems with the 31-50 record because it means nothing, this year was a throw away year, whether the Cubs were 25 under or 15 under, it's just a necessary season in the process of rebuilding and I'm okay with that.
- Geovany Soto, oh how the mighty have fallen. After alternating good and bad years since his 2008 rookie of the year campaign it seems as though Geo has found some consistency, not in a good way. It looks more and more like Soto was a one hit wonder, as he is in the midst of another wasted season. Soto hit .163 over the first 81 games, with only five home runs. He has been routinely outplayed by Clevenger and Castillo behind the dish. I will even say that Koyie Hill provided more of a spark, that's how bad Geo's been.
Now on to the good, yes there has been plenty of that –
- Alfonso Soriano, what a tremendous first half from a player that almost everyone, except Jed and Theo, thought was beyond done. Not only has Soriano provided improved offensive numbers he has been spotless in LF. Think about that for a second, Soriano has not committed an error all season in LF. He has also played an above average defense, getting to balls he could only once dream about getting to. He's clearly hurt but he has earned a lot of respect back from me after I wrote him off. Soriano finished the first half (again in games, I know the Cubs have 4 games left in the "half") hitting .269 with 15 home runs and 46 RBI's.
- Bryan LaHair was another player that was bound and determined to prove himself, but for different reasons. Coming into the season LaHair never had a starting role in the big leagues, an oddity for a 29-year-old with just a handful on major league experience. But he took the opportunity and ran with it in the first month of the season by hitting .390 with five home runs and 14 RBI's. As expected he cooled off during May and June, but he has been great in July which also coincides with finding out he was elected to his first All-Star game.
- Ryan Dempster entered the 2012 season amid trade rumors, and they just got louder and louder every time he pitched, mostly because he was outstanding. Dempster has been a man on a mission in the first half, he has been slowed by a lat injury but he has pitched at a Cy Young level up until then. If the Cubs bullpen or clutch hitting was consistent at all Dempster might be close to the lead league in wins. He has settled for a 3-3 record with a sparkling 2.11 ERA. I doubt he makes it past July 31st as a Cub, so enjoy it while it lasts.
- Travis Wood who was brought over from Cincinnati in the Sean Marshall deal, didn't make the team out of Spring Training. He started the year at Triple-A and struggled, leaving some to suggest that Theo got fleeced in the deal. Wood got an opportunity in the rotation at the big league level once is was clear that Chris Volstad was not up to par. Wood has dominated ever since, thus shutting up all those people who questioned his existence on the Cubs roster. Wood made nine starts in the first half and finished with a 3-3 record and a 3.05 ERA. He might be a huge part of the future for this team.
- James Russell and Shawn Camp's work out of the bullpen cannot go unrecognized. Both guys have been a stabilizing force in the back of the Cubs bullpen all year. Russell sports a 2.27 ERA in 39.2 innings, while Camp has been just as good in his 43 innings, he finished the first half with a 2.93 ERA.
- A late addition to this post has to be Anthony Rizzo. After basically two and three-quarters months of Cubs fans pleading for Rizzo they finally got their wish in late June. Rizzo has not disappointed one bit. Not only is he producing at a high level, and is exciting to watch, he is giving Cubs fans a glimpse of what Theo's vision might look like down the road. That's important for Cubs fans to see, to know they are not suffering through maybe the worst season in Franchise history for nothing. In the 8 games that Rizzo has been up with the Cubs he has hit .323 with three home runs and six RBI's. Not to mention he has had the game winning hit in three of those eight games, and the Cubs are 6-2 since his call up.
The in-between –
- Long time Cub Kerry Wood retired during the first half of the season. It was bittersweet for sure. For a lot of Cubs fans, including myself, Kerry Wood was the face of the franchise growing up, in good times and bad. Kerry worked his tail off to get in shape and put his injuries behind him to have a pretty solid career. He was having a horrible season this year, and it was clear to him and many people surrounding the team that it was time to hang em up. He did the right thing, walked away, and will be apart of this organizations future one way or another.
There were a lot of things in the first half that made us cover our eyes as Cubs fans. But there were also a lot of things that opened them as well, this team competes, rarely gives up and is usually in a lot of games. Right now that doesn't translate to a lot of wins, but it's something to hang on to from the first half. This team will look much different in the second half once the trade deadline comes and goes. Matt Garza, Ryan Dempster, David DeJesus, Geovany Soto, among others could all be gone. Anthony Rizzo is already here, but he could be joined by Brett Jackson, and Josh Vitters at some point. It's something to be excited about, we've suffered through quite possibly the worst first half in team history, the saving grace is that it shouldn't be this bad ever again.
Thanks for reading, go Cubs!

Wood Dazzles; Cubs Finally Solve a Lefty
Many people labeled the Sean Marshall trade in the off-season as a loss for Theo Epstein and company solely based on the fact that Sean Marshall was named the closer for the Reds and that Travis Wood didn't make the Cubs out of Spring Training. Fast forward to tonight, and things aren't looking like a loss at all for the Cubs as Travis Wood continued to take advantage of his opportunity in the rotation by shutting down the Mets en route to a 6-1 victory. Wood shut out the Mets over seven strong innings, only allowing five hits while walking one and striking out six. With the win Wood improved to 2-3 on the season and lowered his ERA to 3.54. Offensively the Cubs had maybe their best approach and game against a lefty all year. Johan Santana came into the game pitching very well, but the Cubs made the veteran lefty work, they earned four walks in addition to pounding out seven hits and six runs. Alfonso Soriano had another solid night at the plate as he shows no signs of slowing down, he went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Joe Mather had the big hit as he was 1-for-3 with his 4th home run of the season to put the Cubs up 2-0 in the fourth inning. That's all they needed behind Travis Wood, a solo shot from Ike Davis off of James Russell in the ninth spoiled the shut out bid. It's Anthony Rizzo day tomorrow as the Cubs top prospect makes his season debut, we will have full coverage. Full box score and highlights after the jump.
Carlos Marmol Out as Cubs Closer
Per Dale Sveum Carlos Marmol is done closing games for the Cubs. While good news for most Cubs fans, there is still a problem. Marmol is still on the team and can't throw strikes and has zero confidence. When can Sveum use him? Sveum said he would look to Rafael Dolis and James Russell to pick up the slack.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewNarcia is an apprentice forrest witch/fairy who aids Pietro on his journey's throughout the first 2 games in the series. When her and Pietro first meet, they develop a crush on one another. This crush causes her to change personality's often, shifting between shy and very outgoing. At first she wears a pink dress with a two-pointed pink hat (used to conceal her fairy antenna), but as she ages, she wears a more mature purple and pink gown. Narcia's godmother Guilda gave her the prized treasure of the forrest witches to aid her on their travels. This treasure, a golden key, allows Narcia to take the form of a human. Her human form's name is Kai. Becoming a human bares many advantages for a forrest witch, one being immunity to salt water (which for some reason is deadly to forrest witches). However, the transformation is not without it's downfalls. If anyone learns of her secret, she will fall into a deep coma, only to be awoken when presented with the rare Soma flower. Later in the series, Pietro takes Narcia to be his wife. The two of them have a son together named Pinon.

Off topic for a second, but that Todd Manning is exactly how Jack Deveraux should have been and/or should be if he ever came back. A true grey character with snark, wit and great one liners and an awesome wardrobe. Pretty much how Jack used to be before the parade of hack writers got a hold of him! :shame:

|I am so not feeling Michael and Kiki. I hate that they are together. I hate that Michael betrayed his brother. Nevermind, Morgan was deceitful. Let's back it up a bit. Kiki came to town as Morgan's girlfriend. Michael lay on the sofa of his apartment and listened to his brother have sex with his girlfriend. Kiki then became Morgan's wife regardless to how it happened. Morgan, in his juvenile way, loved his girlfriend/wife. He even told Michael on several occasions how much he loved Kiki. You mean to tell me Michael could not respect that bond enough to stay away from that Kiki girl? I'm so done with it. Morgan may be immature, juvenile, self absorbed, and spoiled, but he still should have had the respect from his brother to leave his girl alone.
|Oct 14 2013, 01:26 PM Post #43
And the icing on this god-awful cake is the very evening of the big reveal when Morgan and Kiki split, Michael decided it was a good idea for Kiki to move in with him. This has been one awful mess of a triangle, and not in a good way.
On a better note, I am very pleased they were able to get Anders Hove back for some episodes. Faison is one creepy villain.
|Oct 14 2013, 03:13 PM Post #44
Loved the scenes with Nik and Britt. NIk seems so natural around Britt. One of the best couple on daytime drama, IMO.
I loved it when Dr. O called Anna, a skinny scarecrow.
The writers used the wrong term to describe the Swiss prison. It was minimum security, not Maximum facility. Max means that armed guards are stationed outside and inside the rooms and a barrier between prisoner and vistor.
The one thing that bothers me is the actors who Ben. He goes from infant to a six month/eight month infant every week, while Connie stays a small baby. :

ITA, Everyone pushed Patrick toward Sabrina because they thought she was the better choice over Britta. Now that she got her man, Sabrina is still whining. Heck she used Robin's death to get close to Patrick and now it working against her. Oh well, at least she can't blame Britt.
The other thing that bothers me is Olivia hysterical rants when she has a vision.
|Oct 14 2013, 07:42 PM Post #46
Jerry Jacks is such a great soap villain. I hope Carlivati continues to use him like he does. Sparingly.
Great way for Nikolas and Britt to get involved in the Cassadine Island stuff with Nikolas recognizing the painting in Obrecht's video.
Loved Anna vs. Obrecht (and Faison)!
|Oct 14 2013, 07:46 PM Post #47
Anna is so kick ass!
Jerry is Robin's Faison and I love it!
When will Sabrina get a clue? Patrick is still very much in love with his wife.
Britt and Nik! Love how they were comparing their families. bring on the adventure.

|Finola Hughes was absolute money today. The ways she portrays the differences between Anna and Obrecht-as-Anna using minor variations in posture, facial expression and vocal inflection is really remarkable.
|Oct 15 2013, 12:44 AM Post #49
Faison SO creeps me the hell out lol!
In all honesty, Finola Hughes rocks my world! :rockon:
I am sensing that Robin won't reunite with anyone until November sweeps! :frustration:

|Anna Devane is the absolute best female character on GH at the moment. I love Tracey, too, but sometimes her intentional cruelty grates.
|Oct 15 2013, 08:32 AM Post #51
I've probably said this before, but IMO one of the absolute best things Cartini did when taking over GH was putting Finola Hughes on contract. And writing Anna Devane closer to who she was in the 1980's than how she was portrayed in the 2000's (Eli Love groupie= :yuk: ). Sometimes it really feels like Back to the Future on GH with all the revisits to 1980's characters such as Anna, Duke, and now the Jeromes. I can tell Ron was a fan of the show during that era.
I know there are a few exceptions to this (Jack Wagner/Frisco comes to mind) but compared to the other soap I keep an eye on (Days) it is so nice to have a soap that actually respects its veteran characters and actors. In the past year, Ian Buchanan, Leslie Charleson, Jane Elliot to name a few have gotten some great material to work with. I think the scene where Tracy tells Luke she wants "the whole meal, not just crumbs" is an all-time favorite of mine.

Faison was even more creepy years ago.
When he entered room with the pony tail and smoking the slim cigar and it would send chills down my back. I knew this guy was capable of doing anything evil. He looked like evil walking and he sure scared me more than Stavros ever has and Stavros is a sick demon.
|Oct 15 2013, 02:54 PM Post #53
I loved the Anna vs Anna.
That was well written, well acted and
well worth the time to watch it.
I guess I am the only Sabrina lover in
the bunch. I am over her with Patrick.
She does not need to play
second fiddle to anyone. I also
don't like Carlos, so I'd rather they
not end up an item.
Bring on someone new, or pair he
with someone else. But I do like Sabrina.

I am torn though,I am a Patrick/Robin fan and Patrick/Sabrina fan.

The show is too partitioned. All of the Robin related scenes one day, all of the Morgan/Michael/Kiki/Silas/Ava/Derek stuff the next. I love how connected everything is, but when one set of stories is so much more involving than the other, why not split it up and spread it around?
I am eating up Silas and Sam, though.
|Oct 15 2013, 09:07 PM Post #56
I had those exact thoughts after watching today's episode. I was thoroughly engrossed in and barely fast forwarded at all through yesterday's show, but today, I did almost nothing but FF. They need to distribute the stories/characters in such a way that, if you're not interested in a particular set, an entire episode isn't basically a wash for you.

This is difficult because the character/people you might find boring, is exciting to others. I enjoyed all of Mondays show as well. Yesterday's show had me fast forwarding Michael and Kiki. Normally I fast forward anything with Morgan, Kiki and Michael but, I have been curious about where they are taking Morgan ever since he got with AVA. I also find Sam and Sillas boring. I dont think they have the necessary chemistry to be an interesting pairing, but they have people who do love them. I think Silas has way more chemistry with AVA.
I liked Carly, Franco and Julian scenes. So, for me, yesterday's show was not all boring. Except for Michael, Kiki, Sam and Silas. If they were to mix it up you might find yourself fast forwarding everyday instead of every other day. Then there are people who like all the characters that you find boring and I find boring and thought yesterday was a great show. You never know.

|Sonny coming to the conclusion that Derek Wells might be Julian Jerome seemed a too easy. It should have been a harder to put the pieces together.
