Charged by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come up with a Solomonic solution to the growing controversy over women's prayer at Judaism's holiest site, Natan Sharansky, the chair of the Jewish Agency for Israel, is prepared to recommend a bold plan to allow any and all Jews to pray at Jerusalem's Western Wall.
After extensive private consultations and meetings here this week with high-level communal and religious leaders from the major streams, Sharansky told The Jewish Week in an exclusive interview that the talks "gave me great encouragement to go forward."
Upon his return to Israel, Sharansky will present his formal recommendation to Netanyahu; the proposal would then require approval and government funding. The plan likely will face opposition from some Orthodox groups who until now have had exclusive authority over prayer at the Wall, but Sharansky expressed hope it will prevail.
He has conducted dozens of private meetings here and in Israel since being appointed by Netanyahu last December to be, in effect, a one-man commission. His task: to resolve the thorny issue of prayer at the Wall, balancing human and religious rights in a political context.
The key to his plan, he explained, is "too see all of the Western Wall as one." The proposal calls for renovating the southwest portion of the Wall, which had been the site of archaeological excavations since soon after the 1967 Six-Day War, and elevate it to equal prominence to the existing area where prayers are now held. (Sharansky pointed out that while the area was set aside for excavation there has been no activity at the site of late.)
That area, known as Robinson's Arch, has been used for egalitarian prayer in recent years but is quite small. Its holiness as part of the Western Wall is not disputed, but currently access for prayer there is only available on a limited basis and subject to an entrance fee.
The renovation would, in effect, double the area of the Wall dedicated to prayer; one half, now the site of religious services, would remain as is, and continue to be used for traditional prayer. The other half, continuing south (or, facing the Wall, to the right), would be the same length and set aside for egalitarian prayer.
"One Western Wall for one Jewish people" with equal access to all, asserted Sharansky.
Leading up to his New York visit there had been concern that Reform leaders here, sensitive to the concerns of Anat Hoffman, director of Reform's Israel Religious Action Center and head of Women of the Wall, the group that has sought full equality for praying at the Wall each month on Rosh Chodesh, might balk at not gaining the right to pray in the traditional prayer area of the Kotel.
But Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, told The Jewish Week after meeting with Sharansky that while the plans "are not all we had hoped for, they represent a dramatic step towards a State of Israel that respects and protects the rights of non-Orthodox Jews."
He noted that many details need to be worked out, "but in general I am hopeful that we are moving towards a solution that would affirm the unity of the Jewish people and the many authentic ways to practice Judaism."
Rabbi Steven Wernick, CEO of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, said after meeting with Sharansky that "the proposed concept is significant, and there was good will about continuing to talk about refining it." He said he and his colleagues look forward to working with Sharansky "to find a solution that is good for the entire Jewish people."
Modern Orthodox officials are said to have offered tacit approval.
The fact that Netanyahu himself acted on this issue and appointed Sharansky, a widely respected hero for his years as an imprisoned Soviet Jewish refusenik, as his point man, indicates the importance given to the views of American Jews, most of whom are religiously liberal. There has been concern in Israel that increasing numbers of American Jews are feeling distant from the Jewish state, not only in terms of its inability to resolve the Palestinian conflict, but seeing themselves as second-class Jews, beholden to Orthodox control of marriage, divorce, conversion and prayer at the Wall.
Sharansky emphasized that his plan "could seriously reduce tensions" and highlight "the Kotel's unique role of unity rather than disrupting and dividing" the Jewish people. He noted that the proposal calls for 24-hour-a-day access to the Wall, a common entrance between the two prayer areas and would mark "the first time, and in the most visible place, there would be a choice between traditional and egalitarian prayer."
While he expressed confidence that the proposal will be accepted and become policy, prompting an expensive and extensive renovation of the southwestern area of the Wall — estimated to take up to two years and cost a minimum of $25 million — he acknowledged that there may be stumbling blocks ahead.
They include the antiquities authority, which oversees the archaeological aspects of the area, and the chief rabbi of the Wall, Shmuel Rabinovitz, as well as a wide range of haredi religious and political leaders, who have insisted on the status quo and oppose giving legitimacy to non-Orthodox practices at the Wall. And there is the critical question of what happens in the interim, during construction.
Will the monthly Women of the Wall Rosh Chodesh services continue to be a source of contention, and will its members be arrested during the extended construction period at the site, which has been a flashpoint for religious-oriented protest for many years?
Sharansky is hopeful that once his recommendations are accepted, an interim agreement can be worked out among the various players based on good will and the understanding that a permanent solution is in the works. But the longer the process takes, the greater the chance for disruption.
It is difficult to assess the impact of the recent Israeli election on this issue. On the one hand, the absence of haredi parties in the Israeli government increases the chances for approval of the Sharansky plan. On the other hand, haredi leaders have freer reign to express their disapproval, and could stage large protests, perhaps hoping the new government will fall and they can come back to a share of power.
Dov Lipman, an American-born Orthodox rabbi and new member of Knesset from Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party, was in New York this week. When told of the Sharansky proposal, he said he favored the concept of providing a place at the Kotel for everyone who wanted to pray there.
"I can pray where I want to pray and others can do the same," he said, but noted that "extremists" in the Israeli Orthodox community "will fight this."

has any one informed our God of these plans . its not what man wants. God is truly wonderful all you have to do is ask. only He can change what is written in stone.
Any compromise to allow these "wall" women to make a hillul Hashem at the holiest place the Jewish people can visit, is a victory by ignorance over wisdom.
They, the women, have been educated by a cult.
And those judges and politicians who would rule in their favor have also been educated by a cult.
The women's "pain" when they are not allowed to make a hillul Hashem, is nothing compared to the pain felt by Jews and Jewish women all around the world and the pain felt in Shomayim-in Heaven for the public ignorance these women represent.
These women have no derech eretz. It is high time they moved out of their childlike mind-set for the good of all Israel everywhere.
This first step makes sense-incremental but significant change was embraced by civil rights leaders in the past then the continued their work to enhance the change at hand. The three sections work and people will vote w their feet (once they are prepared for use). It is not just American Jews Israel should worry about-my Christian and Mormon lady friends also notice the discrimination when they journey to Israel or watch the news. It has to change for all interested in the long term future of Israel.
On general principles, I'm opposed to this compromise. Jews (and non-Jews who wish to pray in solidarity) should be made to feel welcome in all parts of the Western Wall.
However, this proposed settlement represents a giant leap for Judaism. Right now, the situation's analogous to the Four Seasons hotel chain being white-only, while blacks are relegated to Motel 6 and adding insult to injury, are forced to pay more for their accommodations. At least under the proposal blacks would be allowed to stay at the Ritz-Carlton.
But even if it's now "separate but equal," it's still wrong and this compromise must be regarded as being just an interim step towards true equality.
It's fitting that this issue comes up while we are celebrating the anniversary of numerous Civil Rights milestones in this country. In the USA we're beyond "separate but equal" issues. Obviously not so in Israel. Don't take the bone weing offered. It's demeaning.
why not insist that the Vatican allow a gay organization a section of the square, or that Saudi Arabia allow a women's equality group space in Mecca? Why can't the Conservative Jewish religion be happy with the mess it has made in America?
I agree with you .the conservative and reform movement destroyed Judaism in American ,now they are trying to destroy our holiest place the western wall, they know quite well that never in Jewish history did woman wear tefillin or a talis in public.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

ST. LOUIS -- Vikings receiver Percy Harvin had an emergency appendectomy on Saturday, Dec. 15, not an operation on his sprained ankle, coach Leslie Frazier said. Harvin tweeted on Saturday that he was having "minor surgery," though he did not reveal the nature of the procedure. The Vikings placed him on injured reserve Dec. 5, and the natural assumption was that his injury had necessitated an operation.

You can click on the picture to see the proof that I celebrated International Give Your Brewer A Beer Day in fine style this afternoon. I don't know how you honoured the great holiday but I stopped by Church-Key Brewing and had a chat with John the brewer and gave him a Gumballhead from Three Floyds. He was so moved he went into a trance-like state for a wee bit as the photo will attest.
As you will note from the photo you have to click through to see the brewer possessed, I was particularly taken by the name of the bottling unit John was grappling with - a candy apple red Melvico. I was not sure if it was the Melvico 2000 or the Melvico 2100 model and, frankly, I was too shy to ask. Once we snapped out of our respective trance-like states, John poured a glass of his new if still young Pilsner from the fermentation tank and it was dandy. Being a (bad) home brewer, I have a thing for beer that is still cloudy and yeasty and showing great promise of things to come. After a bit more gabbing, I grabbed a growler of West Coast IPA and headed back out on the back roads, heading for home.

Chickadee China the Chinese Chicken
I'm on a quest to find this kind of chicken..... THE CHICKADEE CHINA THE CHINESE CHICKEN. It is said to release supernatural MSG in the body of HE who consumes it.... causing anything and everything the consumer eats thereafter to TASTE AMAZING! I believe that CHICKADEE CHINA THE CHINESE CHICKEN can cure me of the "pickiness" that has plagued my tongue all these years....I can ony hope...... aperantly it's not even really "CHINESE" but I will find you chickadee! I've emberrased myself in many restaurants asking for you, only to be laughed at! BUT KNOW THIS!.... I will hunt you down, DEEP FRY YOU, and eat you with B.B.-Q SAUCE!
No I've tasted Snipe before..... kinda like chicken! I think the band "Barenaked Ladies" has captured at least one "Chickadee China the Chinese Chicken" and grilled it and ate it. "The reference they make "Have a drumstick and your brain stops clickin" is a metaphor which should obviously be interpreted to mean "this chicken will release the SUPERNATURAL MSG INTO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU EAT IT!"
This is the modern day fountain of youth!.....errrr kinda sorta....except with chicken....and it doesn't make immortal....ok bad comparison...
Yeah right...everything
Yeah right...everything tastes like Chicken...
Tasty Wheat
Mouse: That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.
Apoc: Shut up, Mouse.
Prophetic Vision...
I can see some initials in your future...Let me see...
Pathetic Vision
Sorry John, it is now K.... G.... R.... C.....
or Kentucky Grilled R-ts and Snipe....
Barenaked Ladies
Are you picking up lyrics from One Week?
"Chickity china the chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin"
May the Force be with you...
Nope, this is a Snipe. We
Nope, this is a Snipe. We used to chase them in the dark on Scout camps. We'd have all the new campers lining up and beating the bushes. Another set of new campers would be in the distance, where the other campers were driving the snipe, holding a paper bag with a flashlight in it, so the snipe would head towards the light. The beaters (not to be confused with anyone's ride) would yell out, "Snipe, Snipe!" As they drove the Snipe towards the paper bag.
The old-timers, who knew about Snipe hunts, stood on the sidelines, barely able to hold back their laughter...
Come to think about it, I never did see a Snipe.
I think I saw him crossing

'Vikings' Review: HISTORY's First Scripted Series Is A Great Attempt That Succeeds Most Of The Time
We've already said that you should be tuning into Vikings, HISTORY's first scripted program when it premieres Sunday at 10 pm ET. Having seen the first five episodes, I can confidently say you'll want to stick with the series, despite some minor misgivings.
Vikings is the story of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) who wants new worlds to discover (and conquer.) He's a family man, committed to his wife Lagertha, and son. He also fights constantly with the leader of his group, Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Bryne). Earl only wants to send their Vikings raiders every summer to the Baltic states and Russia, but Ragnar believes there is land to the west.
Religion is a much discussed topic on the show as the Vikings, the last pagans that worshipped ancient gods like Thor and Loki, meet the new world religion in the form of Christianity thanks to Athelstan, a young innocent monk that is captured by Ragnar in the second episode. The foundation of their "friendship" (I use the term loosely) is one of the most interesting dynamics to watch unfold throughout the series.
I couldn't help comparing Vikings to one of my favorite shows on television, Spartacus on the STARZ network. It's an unfortunate comparison especially since Spartacus really came into its own towards the end of its first season. Vikings has a somewhat boring pilot, but really starts to pick up as we start to get to know these characters and their relationships—I was in particular, happy with scenes where Athelstan and Ragnar interact, or anything having to do with Ragnar's kooky friend, Floki, who could easily become the breakout character of the show.
The fourth and fifth episode also went in directions I didn't expect. For fear of too many spoilers, I was pleasantly surprised to see the fights between Earl and Ragnar gear up so quickly and with so much at stake at this early in the show's history. Other shows would let that tension bleed on for years, but instead, Vikings dares to make it front and center right away.
The production values are absolutely spectacular, thanks to the fact that they're shot mostly on location. In particular, I felt loved the montage and shots of the new boat built at the end of the first episode and enjoyed its first sail out on the water. It's even more fully explored and shot beautifully in the second episode.
The fight scenes are pretty well done and you won't have to worry if you're squeamish about blood because this is no The Walking Dead in terms of gore. However, this shouldn't surprise you—there's a rape or an attempted rape in nearly every episode and while Ragnar is shown to not condone that sort of behavior, it's something the show will need to touch on regularly since it's so ingrained to the Vikings culture.
Some of the dialogue felt a bit too modern and I wish they went for something a bit more Shakespearean, which is what's attempted on Spartacus on a weekly basis. But casting is pretty spot on. I didn't warm to Fimmel right away, but he's quite capable as the leading man and he's surrounded by a great supporting cast, especially Katheryn Winnick as his wife.
For the first scripted show from HISTORY, Vikings is a strong start. It's not going to be the pinnacle for the network that The Shield was for FX or Mad Men was for AMC, but it's something you should give a chance to grow. Sunday nights can be awfully crowded for quality TV this time of year, but this is one worth trying to make some time for.
Vikings premieres on Sunday at 10 pm ET on HISTORY.

Dumas fire officials are puzzled by a dramatic increase over the past six weeks in the number of calls for carbon-monoxide and other gas leaks.
Firefighters over that period have responded to about 200 calls, and only two were false alarms, fire Capt. Mike Shockey said Wednesday.
The usual number of calls for a six-week period is about 50, he said.
Shockey said the cause of the spike in calls is unclear, but one explanation may be the relatively few windy days, resulting in stagnant air conditions in which gases may be more easily detected.
"We've tried to figure out what's causing it," he said. "We just haven't figure out what's going on yet. It's pretty weird."
No injuries have been reported as a result of the leaks, he said, and the number of calls have diminished over the past week.
Normally carbon-monoxide calls subside in the summer, as compared with the winter, because people aren't running gas heaters, he said.
"It's just the wrong time of year to be having these calls."
He said carbon-monoxide detectors installed in homes can alert residents when they're at risk from the toxic gas, which can be deadly because it's colorless and odorless and therefore difficult to detect.
Carbon monoxide tends to leak from an appliance near its exhaust vent.
Shockey said anyone with gas-fueled appliances should install at least one carbon-monoxide detector at bed-level in their residence.
He does not recommend purchasing an alarm that's a combined carbon-monoxide and smoke detector because smoke detectors are installed farther up a wall. Unlike smoke, carbon monoxide sinks. So by the time the gas is high enough to set off the detector, people inside have already been overcome by fumes, he said.
Shockey recommends getting a carbon-monoxide detector that can be plugged into an outlet. He said those revert to battery power in the case of power loss.
Officials also say people should change batteries on both smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors about every six months.

Today's athletes are strong as an ox and fast as gazelle. But thirty years ago, anyone interested in participating in sports were slotted by your height and weight. If you were tall, then you expected to play center in basketball or on the line in football.
Well today, that same person can now be a wide receiver or patrol centerfield for their respective teams. For over 20 years, Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson have been the benchmark for two-sport athletes, as you enjoyed watching them because they loved to compete at any level in sports.
Let's take a look at seven non-NFL players who would excel in the NFL:

Contact: Ted Slowik, Director of PR and Media Relations, 630-637-5307
Nov. 17, 2010—A collection of choirs will perform rousing spiritual pieces Jan. 22 when North Central College presents its 23rd annual Gospel Extravaganza.
The Gospel Extravaganza begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, in North Central College's Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton Ave. Tickets are $15/adults, $8/students and senior citizens; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
The event concludes the College's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week and features a variety of energetic and enthusiastic gospel performers. In addition to North Central's own Voices of Praise gospel choir, performers include the 50-member Wheaton College Gospel Choir, Lisle-based DuPage African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Gospel Choir and the 80-member Dexter Walker and Zion Movement Chorale.
Selections range from traditional African-American spiritual numbers to contemporary gospel music. Performers say the annual event is an unforgettable experience.
"It's more cultured than your typical concert. It's a different kind of experience," says Brianna Simmons, a junior from Orland Park majoring in music performance.
"It's an energizing and uplifting concert," says Voices of Praise choir member Sarah Miller, a sophomore from Wheaton who is majoring in finance and economics.
Dexter Walker and Zion Movement Chorale was the first-place winner in Chicago's 2005 All-City Gospel Challenge Choir Competition, was named the Chicago Music Awards "Best Gospel Entertainer" in 2008 and honored as Hope Today Magazine's "People To Know" in 2008.
Other events featured during Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week at North Central College include Chicago Sinfonietta's Jan. 15 performance, "A Dream Unfolds," a prayer breakfast and other activities.
Nicor and Sara Lee are sponsors of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week and Black History Month events at North Central College. The College's 2010-2011 Sesquicentennial Fine & Performing Arts Season is supported by a generous grant from the Illinois Arts Council. USG Corporation and Navistar, Inc. are underwriting sponsors.
This performance is one of many ongoing programs at North Central College to enrich and broaden the cultural and academic outlook for the College and community. For a comprehensive schedule of musical performances, theatrical and dance productions, art exhibits and lectures, including details about other Martin Luther King Week events, visit northcentralcollege.edu/show or call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469).

Plant Bugs on Perennials and Landscape Shrubs
(fourlined, tarnished and phlox plant bugs)
Classic fourlined plant bug feeding damage on leaf.
Fourlined plant bug nymphs are first entirely red in color, but they obtain black wing pads as they get into later instars.
The fourlined plant bug, Poecilocapsus lineatus, is the most common plant bug pest encountered in perennials and landscape shrubs. The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris, is another generalist plant feeder common in landscapes. Other plant bugs usually have very narrow host plant ranges, such as the phlox plant bug, Lopidea davisi, yucca plant bug, Halticotoma valida, and hollyhock plant bug, Brooksetta althaeae.
The fourlined plant bug is found east of the Rocky Mountains, and tarnished plant bugs inhabit all of North America. The other species are usually found wherever their hosts are cultivated.
Fourlined plant bugs have been found on over 250 species of plants in 57 families; tarnished plant bugs have been found on over 380 hosts! Most of the other species prefer single host plants or restrict their feed to a single genus or family of plants. In typical urban landscapes, the fourlined plant bug damage is most commonly found on perennials (especially those in the mint family or composites), but they commonly attack shrubs including: azalea, dogwood, forsythia, viburnum and weigelia. The tarnished plant bug seems to prefer plants in the aster and rose families.
Most plant bugs appear to insert their mouth stylets into host plant tissues and inject a tissue dissolving saliva. They then suck out the liquified plant tissues. This produces a typical sunken lesion which can be circular or angular, depending on the host plant leaf structure. Feeding on immature leaves can cause considerable leaf distortion - cupping, twisting and crumpling. Occasionally, the lesion spots dry and fall out, producing small holes in leaves.
Description and Life Cycle:
Plant bugs have the characteristic bug shape - elongate oval bodies with a diamond-shaped zone on the posterior where the wing membranes cross, and a pentagonal-shaped pronotum (the area just behind the head). All have long antennae and long legs. They run and often fly when disturbed.
The fourlined plant bug is yellow-green with four longitudinal black stripes down the back. However, the nymphs are a bright crimson red with black wing pads. The tarnished plant bug adult is a mottled tan and brown and the nymphs are usually greenish. The phlox plant bug is a reddish-orange color as is the yucca plant bug. The hollyhock plant bugs are green.
Most plant bugs appear to spend the fall and winter as eggs inserted into host plant tissues, but the tarnished plant bugs overwinter as adults hiding in leaf litter. The fourlined plant bug has one generation per year with nymphs hatching in April to early May, and new adults appearing by late May and early June. The other plant bug species usually have 2 to 4 generations per season. Damage is most severe when the nymphs are feeding on developing plant tissues in the spring.
Fourlined plant bug adults are yellow with four black stripes.
Tarnished plant bug adults are mottled brown in color.
Tarnished plant bug nymphs produce damage similar to fourlined plant bugs. The nymphs are green with brown wing pads.
Control Hints:
Most plant bugs are considered aesthetic nuisance pests since they rarely kill their host plants. However, leaf and flower distortion can be very severe and can greatly reduce the aesthetic value of landscape plants.
Option 1: Cultural Control - Destroy Overwintering Eggs & Habitat - Since the eggs of most plant bugs are inserted into host plant tissues by the fall, cutting and removal of dead plant stalks of perennials can reduce plant bug innoculum for the next season. Be sure to bury or compost removed plant material or remove residues from the landscape area. Remove leaf litter and reduce mulch thicknesses to eliminate areas where tarnished plant bug adults can overwinter.
Option 2: Cultural Control - Hand Crush Nymphs or Syringe - In low populations, the small plant bug nymphs can be located within host plant leaves and crushed. Be careful to cup you hands around affected leaves since the nymphs will quickly run or drop from the plant. A hard spray of water, syringing, can often knock plant bug nymphs from their host plants and these nymphs often have difficulty reestablishing on their hosts.
Option 3: Chemical Control - Soaps & Oil Sprays - Plant bug nymphs are very easily destroyed by insecticidal soap or horticultural oil sprays, but the nymphs have to be contacted with the emulsions. Be careful when using soaps or oils on perennials that have set flower buds or are flowering as phytotoxicity can occur.
Option 4: Chemical Control - Standard Insecticides - Both contact and systemic insecticides are effective for control of plant bugs. Applications of contact insecticides, e.g. pyrethroids, should be made as soon as the first sign of nymphal bug feeding is noticed. Since many soil applied systemics require several days to weeks to be absorbed, apply these several weeks before plant bug nymphs are expected. This will help reduce plant distortion.

Stoke City 1-2 Tottenham
Tottenham must hope dramatic comebacks are to be the story of their season. They took their tally of points gained from losing positions to 23 with a hard-fought win at Stoke yesterday in another demonstration of their determination to return to the Champions League.
Spurs have at least ensured they will take their top-four fight with Arsenal to the final day of the season.
They could easily have wilted at the Britannia Stadium as Stoke added an early goal to their typically hostile welcome to pose the latest threat to Tottenham's aspirations.
The visitors have fallen behind in no fewer than 11 League matches this season and for the second time in five days, they found themselves contemplating a fifth-place finish and all the uncertainty that will come with it.
There is plenty to encourage Spurs in the way they edged past Stoke but equally their frailties contributed to the original malaise.
Tottenham have defended absent-mindedly with alarming regularity, in truth, ever since losing at Liverpool in March.
Spurs have kept one clean sheet thereafter and their vulnerability from set-pieces was almost inevitably exposed by dead-ball specialists Stoke.
Once Clint Dempsey equalised with a well-taken finish, steering the ball past Asmir Begovic after the Stoke goalkeeper was left stranded by Marc Wilson's poor clearance, Tottenham enjoyed a man advantage for 43 minutes courtesy of Charlie Adam's sending off.
Adam twice fouled Jan Vertonghen to hand the initiative to the visitors but what Andre Villas-Boas later described as "patient" passing looked in reality to be a team once again missing the incision of Luka Modric and the penetrative transition play of Mousa Dembele.
The latter came on as a late substitute and played a part in the winning goal, diverting Gareth Bale's pass into the path of Dempsey, whose cross needed only a simple finish from Emmanuel Adebayor. It was one of only a few clear-cut chances Spurs created despite their numerical superiority.
But despite their shortcomings, Villas-Boas was justified in hailing his side's resolve to overcome adversity yet again, if it was partly of their own making in the first place.
"We have managed to invert lots of results this season which is good for us because going through difficulty and overcoming it is excellent for any team's character," he said.
"In an ideal world, you don't want to have those difficulties, you want to score early and assume a position but we went through experiences this season that probably helped us to feel more confident when we came up against them again."
The problem is that to achieve the ultimate comeback and finish fourth, they need help from elsewhere. It is difficult to predict the impact of Wigan's FA Cup Final success over Manchester City ahead of their trip to Arsenal tomorrow.
In one respect, it could inspire vital self-confidence to go and repeat last season's victory at Emirates Stadium — anything less and Roberto Martinez's side will be relegated — but equally the emotional and physical drain of their Wembley win has only 72 hours to leave their system. For their part, Tottenham have applied all the pressure they can for climbing above Arsenal for the first time in a month, albeit having played a game more.
"The win is extremely important because it keeps us in the frame and within the possibility of Champions League football," said Villas-Boas. "So the dream is still alive for us. We don't depend on ourselves anymore but we wanted to take it to the last day.
"Obviously, great motivation is going through Wigan's heads at the moment. We saw the message from Dave Whelan saying they are absolutely focused on being in the Premier League next season. So I would suppose from partying, their focus is immediately on trying to do a good game against Arsenal.
"It will be a competitive game, obviously Arsenal's experience is immense and you expect them to do their job."
Should Arsenal do their job and finish fourth, the notion discussed earlier of Spurs making life difficult for themselves will raise itself again, albeit in a different context.
Chairman Daniel Levy has enhanced his reputation with deadline-day brinkmanship in the transfer market but the destabilising effect it has on the team in August is undeniable.
As has happened previously, Spurs stumbled into the Premier League season, taking just two points from their first three matches to give others a head start.
There are almost always regrets in any season but how Levy must wish that his team had not started so slowly amid the uncertainty created by his desire to extract maximum value in the market.
They may already have qualified for the Champions League by now.
As it stands, Spurs must beat Sunderland and hope either Wigan or Newcastle can take something from Arsenal. Only then will the most important comeback be on.

'What Happened to Hillary?' And Other Unanswered Questions
Since Hillary Clinton supporters are being ostracized by what is supposed to be their own Democratic Party, there are many unanswered questions that the Dems and the Obama camp need to address.One of these questions is regarding Obama's neglecting even to vet Hillary when looking for a Veep.
Hillary gets stiffed
Obama has often said, most recently on NBC's "Meet the Press" on July 27, that Clinton "would be on anybody's short list."
But apparently not his.
"She was never vetted," a Democratic official reported. "She was not asked for a single piece of paper. She and Senator Obama have never had a single conversation about it."
Jennifer Rubin notes that:
This should come as no shock–Barack Obama never wanted Hillary Clinton on the ticket and never gave any indication that he did. But the news that he did not even go through the motions of considering her will stoke anger among her supporters.
There certainly is anger among her supporters, and there is intrigue among those of us who are still puzzled and confused about Obama's aspirations and intentions. Obama's generic catch phrases (e.g. Change! Hope! Yes we can!), lies and evasive "answers" to direct questions are not reassuring.
This leaves us wondering: Barack Obama may be a celebrity, but is he ready to lead? and Barack Obama talks a lot about unity and respect, so where's the respect for the second most popular politician in his own party?

André Leon Talley's Twitter No Longer Bogus
He's finally taken it up.
Last week, Vogue's André Leon Talley and Grace Coddington said any Facebook or Twitter accounts under their names were "fraudulent" and "bogus." They then explained that they avoid such
crap social networking because they represent Vogue, and Vogue is all about quality, and anything that can be done in seconds is the opposite of quality. However, according to Diane Von Furstenberg's Twitter, that talk inspired Talley, a sometime blogger himself, to join Twitter and see what this newfangled Internet medium is all about. Today he's got a feel-good vibe going: "Love yourself today. Give a smile to your fellow man. Love you, then you can love others," he tweets, as though he's never ridden a subway.
The best thing about this news might be that the fake ALT with almost 1,300 followers who once tweeted, "@Gracecoddington grace honey sorry i went out for a quick tea with Vera im on my way now," looks quite silly — and will undoubtedly look more so when everyone un-follows him to make room for the real ALT.

text: // Simple PIC18F4550 USB Circuit Simple PIC18F4550 Circuit One note before I get started - I rencently wrote another piece about using the Microchip MCP2200 for USB communications. If you are just getting started, or only need serial communication with a computer, I highly recommend you take a look at that chip. Click here for that tutorial. I wanted to write a quick tutorial of how to make a simple PIC18F4550 circuit to act as a human interface device (HID) for USB communication without using the demo board (PICDEM) supplied by Microchip. I was a bit intimidated by USB communication at first, but it is actually pretty simple if you know a little about microcontrollers and the C programming language. I have minimal knowledge of both (as I am an accountant) but was able to get it working quickly with few external parts and Microchip's firmware files (MCHPFSUSB v1.2), found here . The key is to alter the firmware supplied by Microchip in three places to work with your circuit instead of the demo board. The 18F4550 will be powered from the USB, using the following circuit: Components needed: 22pf capacitors (2) 470nf capacitor (1) 100nf capacitors (2) 20Mhz Crystal USB Connector (Type B) The capacitors between VDD and ground are critical to making the 18F4550 operate properly. Without it, the PIC is very erratic, if it works at all. Changes to the firmware are as follows: 1. Turn MCLRE OFF in the "main.c" file – the demo board has a button that sets this pin low, which resets the 18F4550 when MCLRE (Master clear reset) is enabled. This pin must be set high for the 18F4550 to operate. Since I didn't want to include any unnecessary components (the reset button), I turned this feature off which eliminates the need to keep this pin high. 2. Comment out USB_SELF_POWER_SENSE_IO & USE_USB_BUS_SENSE_IO in the "usbcfg.h" file – The demo board is set up to sense if the 18F4550should use the USB power supply vs. an external supply, and the sensing is done through certain pins. Since this is a minimalist approach, I'm getting rid of this functionality. 3. Now build the project and program the PIC18F4550. 4. Plug it into the USB port, and it will show up in Control Panel.System.Hardware.Device Manager.Human Interface Devices. 5. Assign the driver disributed by Microchip to the device. Make sure you check out my projects: USB Serial Communication using the Microchip MCP2200 - Interfacing microcontrollers with a computer using this cheap chip.

The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development reported Thursday that unemployment rates increased in every city with more than 32,000 in November except for Caledonia, which had no change.
Unemployment also increased in every county except Ozaukee, Pierce and St. Croix. Six counties had either a decrease or no change.
Racine had the highest unemployment for any city at 11.5 percent, followed by Beloit at 10.1 percent and Milwaukee at 9.6 percent.
Menominee County had the highest unemployment for a county at 13.5 percent.
The national unemployment rate was 7.7 percent in November, compared with 6.7 percent in Wisconsin.

Re: Campervan?
We sourced our campervan when we got here and got a much better deal than the internet offerings (using the official ISite offices). I think they price according to demand at the time and as we arrived in Winter, we were able to get a 6 berth for less than NZ$50 a day including the full monty insurance and no extra mileage costs. However, there are two of us and a 6 berth is a bit too big (the 2 berth WAY too small). Of all the people we have met with campers, I can say the Kea Vans look pretty good, which your link refers to. Some of the cheaper companies have really rough looking campers with terrible looking equipment inside. You will have a great time. It is an amazing place.

However, when we arrived in town to book this, the weather was awful and few helicopters were flying, plus it seemed extraordinarily expensive. After some consideration (and having had an initial look at the glacier anyway) we decided to leave our glacier hiking until South America where the glaciers in the Andes are even more spectacular (and a lot cheaper to visit!).
Fortunately, one of the first stops on our trip along the West Coast was at Fox Glacier
Along our walk up to the face of the glacier, the DOC had placed signs indicating the position of the face of the glacier over the last century or so. It was truly frightening to see how much the glacier had shrunk back over the last few years. A very graphic and real indication of the effects of global warning.
Eventually we reached the actual face of the glacier and, to be frank, it was a bit of a disappointment. Although large, it was nowhere near as big as we had expected and rather than a blue/white in colour, up close it was dirty grey colour, a result of all of the rock collected as it crept its way down the valley. We could see the impacted layer upon layer of ice accumulated over many years.
Nevertheless it was pretty awesome to actually see a glacier up close and we were pretty impressed by the fact that this is one of only a very small number of glaciers that has existed since the Ice Age.
The drive along the West Coast is peppered with places to stop and explore
The coast on this side of the island was quite different (much more rugged) than the East side of the South Island, with the rainforest reaching right down to the coastline in many places. It took us a few days to head up the coast, stopping at various places to explore. One particularly nice walk was a coastal walk that took us through three different types of woodland/forest, to a freshwater lake and back again, all in about an hour.
We also stopped at a few small towns on the way to look around, including:
Ross - A gold panning town with plenty of things still remaining from that era, not least the wild west atmosphere.
Hokatitia - Known for its Jade carving and quite a holiday town feel to it.
Greymouth - a town for train enthusiasts as it is the stopping point TranzAlpine Train, which crosses over Arthurs Pass, apparently one of teh great train journeys of the world.
Westport - a larger town, where we stopped for some shopping necessities.
Our plan is to explore most of the West coast from bottom to top, and then to head across the central mountain range back to the Eastern side to visit Hamner Srpings, a very popular ski and hot springs resort, back on the eastern side of the island.
Tossing up between Buller Gorge and Arthurs Pass (both apparently amazing "Must Do"s), we choose Buller Gorge as being most likely the easiest of the two routes in bad weather for a big campervan.

It is with sincere gratitude that we announce that Nancy Aldrich-Ruenzel, publisher of Peachpit/The Creative Pro Group for the past 18 ½ years, will be leaving Peachpit at the end of February.
We've officially entered the year 2012 and our authors are already making their reading lists for the year. Find out what they plan to read and share your list, too!
Peachpit and Pearson are proud to premiere our very own It Gets Better video!
Every January we start to wonder, 'Was Scott Kelby the No. 1 bestselling computer book author last year again?"
I recently had the tremendous pleasure of listening in as Joel Postman,
author of the forthcoming SocialCorp, delivered a presentation on the
use of social media by corporate America. Fascinating stuff!
It's with great sorrow that we let you know that our friend and colleague Marjorie Baer has passed away at her home in Berkeley after a brave battle with brain cancer.

|Gryfford The Unrelenting
Adriel hasn't chimed in yet.
@ Gryfford - BTW: They're in Taltōsh's room.
"I don't think so. Master McDarrow believes it is because of his new oracular status and our connection to the book he showed us the first day," replied the hooded sage.
|Arasmes Kemnebi
"Hmm... maybe. Let me think on it."
"In the meantime, why don't we go to break our fast?" Taltōsh suggested.
Kn-Arcana (could the visions be two-way?) 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
|Adriel Mistleaf
When you come downstairs you see the full breakfast laid out before you. Alia is there, but Angus is strangely absent. You partake in your meal, and near the end, Angus approaches. You can see that he has one hand to his temple as if his head is in pain. A cleric helps him sit down and Alia presents him with food. He eats slowly, not saying much to you as he does so, all the while cradling his head.
|Adriel Mistleaf
At breakfast, Taltōsh sat next to Arasmes so that they could continue their conversation.
"While anything is possible, it is unlikely that it is a two-way connection. It is more like scrying or divination, not telepathy."
When Master McDarrow entered, the sage looked up, and he awaited the dwarf's reply to Adriel's question.
Taltōsh addressed the ailing paladin-turned-oracle, "We acquired a map of a ruined structure outside of town. I believe that we are all in agreement that we should investigate that as soon as possible."
"If you do not feel up to it, the rest of us could go without you."
|Gryfford The Unrelenting
|Adriel Mistleaf
Angus looks thoughtful for a moment and then looks in the direction of Alia. "My dear, can you get my equipment?" she nods hesitantly and heads off down the hall.
The dwarf turns back to you. "I understand you concern, but it is my duty to see this through. I will not allow Nikolai to go unchecked." His face is stern.
|Adriel Mistleaf
Angus looks to Adriel, "Thank you my friend. Now once we have everything together we ought to be underway, there is no time to lose." He stands up unsteadily and takes the bag Alia has just brought for him. As this happens you hear a loud knock at the door to the temple.
Enter the newest members of our merry band.
|Elorin Moonshade
The temple doors open and an elf stands in the doorway, a finely polished recurve bow in his left hand. "I have come. Let The Dawn Flower's fire burn."
The elf throws back the hood to his molted brown and green cloak to reveal long white hair and ice blue eyes. "I am Elorin Moonshade, holy warrior of Sarenrae, I seek one called Angus."
|Elorin Moonshade
Elorin looks down at his bow for a moment before slinging it on his back as he moves forward. He walks towards the dwarf and extends his right hand wrapped in a thick leather glove from mid-fingers to the middle of his forearm, thick cold iron studs cover the knuckles and back of the hand. "Master McDarrow, I have heard that you speak stories of vampires. I come to lend you my bow and burn them with The Dawn Flower's cleansing fire.
|Elorin Moonshade
Elorin nodds his head at the others before answering the dwarf. "Yes, I would gladly tell my story, if you tell me of these vampires." The elf moves to the side to allow the dwarf to lead the way and fall in besides the others. "Where exactly are we going?"
Christ see what happens when I go do laundry, I miss the chance to introduce myself.
Alexia spends several moments quietly observing the other members of the group before finally speaking up, "Well I suppose that answers my question then, that aside I am Alexia, a huntress to the god Ketephys, my quarry is undead abominations which I heard I can find if I sought out Mister Angus here."
|Arasmes Kemnebi
Arasmes looks askance at Alexia at the word abominations.
Knowledge Religion: Sarenrae 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Knowledge Religion: Ketephys 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
"After you, Angus. It's not a short walk so sooner started, sooner finished. I'd rather not fight Nikolai at night if we don't have to!"
Nodding at the newcomers, and holding out a hand to shake theirs he introduces himself
"I am Arasmes, son of Izora, daughter of Kemnebi. I came here hunting a criminal, and my quarry and Angus' quarry show similarities."
Remembering certain confusions that have arisen "I have a lot of experience with the twice-born, especially Haemovores. I can fight, track, talk and command, but my most useful ability is the ability to Channel the Dark. With it I can kill, heal or warp reality."
Not sure how much the knowledge rolls mean, but guessing I've at least heard the very basics.
You want them to roll to have heard of Kemnebi? Knowledge:Geography, I guess.
To Alexia he adds "I admit I know little of Ketephys - that's an elven god, yes? But I'd be very interested to hear more."
To Elorin he adds "I appreciate your enthusiasm, but if you are throwing around fire, please don't throw it at me - or my belongings."
|Adriel Mistleaf
|Adriel Mistleaf
Knowledge: Religion Ketephus1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Knowledge: Religion Saranrae 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Ketephus is an elven god and Sarenrae is a Major dirty so hope the DC's are lowish
Adriel nods to the two newcomers, happy to have more able combatants, particularly ones who specialized in archery. He appreciated the art but was a poor example of an elvish bowman.
Chatterbeak flaps down to his master's shoulder.
The day is young and we should get moving. If there is nothing else, shall we?
|Elorin Moonshade
Elorin gives Arasmes a half smile as he shakes his hand. "I can not throw fire, it is just a saying among my brothers and sisters about how Sarenrae uses us as fire to burn away the wicked. I do not know the term, twiceborn. This is to be vampires yes? If so, I would greatly enjoy talking to you about them. When we have the time of course."
The elf nods his head at Adriel, Thankyou friend. I am happy to assist in any way I can."
"I am Taltōsh," said the man concealed beneath a heavy cloak. "I am a sage and have some facility with the arcane arts."
Turning to the paladin, he asked, "What of Yolk? I have not seen him this morning."
Segue to allow DM Awesome to explain Yolk's absence. :P
|Elorin Moonshade
As Taltōsh spaeaks, the elf paladin looks at the ranger Alexia and quickly turns away. Sarenrae be with me. Why have you put one so simlular to my beloved in my path? Is this a test for me to atone for my inability to save her, or something else? Please give me your strength to not let this ones fate be the same as Yasmine's!
Thank you T, I'll take it from here.
Alia speaks up, "Uh, Master Yolk has hunkered down in the library claiming that he needs to look into something. He did not wish to be disturbed." She looks anxious.
Angus turns to the group and nods, "Very well, let us depart." You exit the temple and see that there are clerics with several horses in tow. Angus sends them off to get horses for the new comers and mounts a white stallion with reddish spots. The clerics return quickly with enough for all of you and you set off.
The journey is acouple of hours, if you want you can RP the discussion updating the new players, or whatnot. I'll check in in a bit, off to get inked up.
"I would be happy to answer any questions about Ketephys on the way, I was raised in one of his temples after all."
She glances at the horses, they were more then most towns have done for her hunts typically. It was different to not be alone for this but it was nice to be around so many elves again.
|Elorin Moonshade
|Gryfford The Unrelenting
As the group is getting on the horses, a man comes running out of the temple.
He gets on a horse himself, and rapidly rejoins the riding company.
The new rider is a tall man in his late twenties, with a sinewy muscular slender frame which indicates speed and strength of arms.
He has an angular face with very clear blue eyes and blond hair cut short, except for a braid on his left temple which trails on his shoulder, and is dressed in reddish brown leather with a mail shirt and leather pants tucked in knee-length boots smeared by the dry dust of the road.
A sheath with a falchion is fixed across his back like it has always belonged there. A shortbow is thrust across his shoulder.
"Greetings ! I am Gryfford, son of Marsus the gladiator" he says to Elorin and Alexia.
"I am pleased to ride in your company" he declares with a genuine smile.
He looks at Alexia with a kind of candid curiosity.
"You have the most unusual eyes. Are you from the same place as our Arasmes, here ?"
Alexia frowns at the suggestion, "By Ketephys I most certainly am not! They are simply an inherited trait from one of my ancestors. I was descended somewhere from celestial beings but as I was never allowed to know my real parents I could not explain better."
|Elorin Moonshade
|Arasmes Kemnebi
Arames mounts the horse, draping a stuffed dog over the withers.
"Business first, then? Nikolai appears to be an old, powerful Haeomvore - a blood-eater. He seeks an amulet. We're not exactly sure what the amulet does, but probably something awful. Angus here has been gettign visions about Nikolai and the Amulet, and somehow the rest of us have ended up getting them as well ever since we signed on."
Arasmes looks thoughtful for a moment
"Assuming the visions are accurate, Nikolai seems to have a lupine shape-changer under his control, and possibly some sort of stone-creature."
Arasmes looks around to Taltosh
"Taltosh, any idea what that was?"
Soemone else can continue the briefing if they like
The hooded sage replied, "There are magics that allow stone objects a semblance of life. They are often referred to as 'Fictus Animus', which translates as 'False Souls'."
"The vampire, Nikolai, has such a servitor. In our vision it was called 'Sheldon'."
The man, uncomfortable with the scrutiny of the others, adjusted his cloak to better conceal his disfigured face.
"The werewolf was named 'Markus', as I recall. At least that was the name Nikolai called him by in another vision."
"Incidentally, we were attacked by three such creatures just last night, one of which escaped."
|Elorin Moonshade
"So this Nikolai is a master vampire." The paladin closes his eyes for a moment before continueing."I did not think it would be one so powerful as you describe. I have had dealings with only one other master vampire but I seemed to be beneath its notice for the most part. This does not seem the case here. You mentioned visions, is this Nikolai the cuase?"
"No, Master McDarrow has an ancestral tie--through a mystical tome--that connects him to a relative that was involved with the amulet."
"He shared a vision with us using the book. However, he recently was chosen as an oracle as well. Somehow, the visions are passed to us when he has them."
"You may have noticed that his vision is impaired--the price of his oracular gift."
|Elorin Moonshade
|Arasmes Kemnebi
"Not too our knowledge, no. He certainly has a reputation among the oppressed religions though - people have fled at his name."
Arasmes considers
"If I had to guess, I'd say he intends to get the amulet - which we've heard might be connected to the shadow plane - and use it to create an army of animates, spawn and lesser undead. If we're lucky I'd guess he'll then declare war upon the Children of Light and seek to overthrow enough nations he can create a kingdom of the twiceborn under his own despotic and tyrannical immortal leadership."
Arasmes looks Elorin in the eyes
"Worst case is he's a religious nut who seeks to end all life on the planet."
Arasmes smiles
"Or maybe he just really thinks it'll set off his eyes."
He shrugs
"Doesn't really matter. Him getting the amulet is bad. Very bad. We stop him getting the amulet, and stop him if we can."
|Gryfford The Unrelenting
Gryffords blinks several times after having heard Alexia's reply.
Celestial ? By Elistria's plentiful bosom, this world is filled with wonders !
He can't help ogling the petite blond woman while they continue riding, though he tries to do it unobtrusively.
As Arasmes relates what they know of Nikolai, he listens attentively.
"Very nicely resumed, Arasmes."
Angus has been listening to your recap of events and nods. "Yes, and now we are traveling to an abandoned temple in the hopes of finding more information on this amulet."
The journey is quite uneventful, and before you know it you can see just ahead of you a very run-down structure off to one side of the road. As you get closer you can see that it is a small church of sorts with a belltower above a rickety wooden door. There appears to be only one door on the structure and the windows along the sides are broken out.
Alexia is going to dismount from her horse as soon as they arrive. "If he is still seeking it we have to at least act as if he has access to the same information as us, if not more... I suggest allowing me to inspect the exterior for signs of use before going in."
Would that me a survival as far as tracking or perception? Or do you want me to do both? I have both ^_^
|Elorin Moonshade
The Road
The paladin looks intently at Arasmes for a moment before speakng. "Then we must not fail in preventing his recovery of this amulet.
Elorin dismounts also, pulling a silver tipped arrow from his quiver and putting it to the string of his bow. "I agree. I will not be taken by ambush again if it can be prevented."
I will assist Alexia.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
|Gryfford The Unrelenting
|Adriel Mistleaf
Adriel watches as the two more 'typical' examples of his rather dexterous race search about.
So quiet. Look how they move. I could have been that way. Had I listened to mothers words.
Always in a book, always smoking. Lazy...
He shakes away the uncomfortable memories and focuses on the job at hand.
If you don't mind Gryff, I would appreciate you sticking near me. At least until we know where our enemies are. Our new members likely would prefer distance and quiet, anyway.
|Elorin Moonshade

Epic Meal Time – Nascar Hogster [VIDEO]
This week, the Epic Meal Time crew went completely insane with the pork… in a very good way.
It seems like they've taken a whole hog, roasted to crispy perfection and stuffed it with more pork: Ribs, pork chops, sausages and wieners, bacon, more ribs, and rolled it around on burger and bun shoes. I just can't even imagine what it would taste like.
Sidebar: I like how the pit crew gently takes their time taking little chick bites of this epic meal.

For people interested in in-depth news coverage, television news has always been overrated. I'm not referring to the occasional exceptions like Edward Morrow's take down of Sen. Joe McCarthy or Walter Cronkite's reporting on Viet Nam but to the daily news reports, which are normally nothing more than extended sound bites or synopses of happenings.
