Israel has successfully released 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of a deal to keep US-sponsored peace talks alive, despite ongoing disagreements over plans to build more settlements on disputed land.
The handover took place in the dead of night during the small hours of Wednesday morning, with a small number of Palestinians hurling rocks at Israeli military vehicles escorting the prison convoy taking 11 to the West Bank.
They were met by a welcoming party of hundreds, including President Mahmoud Abbas. The other 15 ex-prisoners were taken to the Gaza strip, under the control of Mr Abbas's Islamist rivals Hamas.
The president told a crowd in the West Bank capital Ramallah: "We congratulate ourselves and our families for our brothers who left the darkness of the prisons for the light of the sun of freedom. We say to them and to you that the remainder are on their way, these are just the first."
After the successful return of the prisoners, many of whom had already served jail terms of around 20 years for deadly attacks on Israelis, negotiators were due to return to meetings in Jerusalem later on Wednesday.
Despite anger from the families of some victims, Israel has promised to free a total 104 inmates in the coming months, in measures aimed at meeting US Secretary of State John Kerry's target of a deal within nine months.
Among those released was a Palestinian convicted in the 1994 killing of Isaac Rotenberg, a 69-year-old Holocaust survivor who was attacked with an axe as he was working at a construction site.
Others were convicted in the killings of Ian Feinberg, an Israeli lawyer killed in a European aid office in Gaza in 1993, and Frederick Rosenfeld, an American killed while hiking in the West Bank in 1989.
On Monday, Israel's prison service published the names of the 26 in order to allow for possible appeals, but the Supreme Court quickly turned away objections from the families of those killed by the prisoners.
Earlier, Israel sparked anger when it announced it was moving forward with plans to build nearly 900 new settlement homes in east Jerusalem. The Palestinians initially refused to return to the negotiating table, until the prisoner release was offered as part of a bargain to restart talks.
They argue that even existing settlements, now home to more than 500,000 Israelis, make the problem of establishing territories increasingly difficult.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official, said the plans are "not just deliberate sabotage of the talks, but really a destruction of the outcome".
She urged Mr Kerry "to stand up to Israel" and deliver a tough response.
Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rejected the Palestinian claim, saying: "The construction that the Israeli government authorised is all in Jerusalem and the large blocs, in areas that will remain part of Israel in any possible final status agreement and this construction that has been authorised in no way changes the final map of peace."
Mr Kerry said he had spoken with Mr Netanyahu yesterday morning. "We had a very frank and open discussion on the issue of settlements," he said. "Let me make it clear. The policy of the United States with respect to all settlements is that they are illegitimate and we oppose settlements taking place anytime."

One of the first things I noticed about these glosses is the entire line contains glitter/shimmer. There were not cremes, which was a disappointment to me. I'm hoping that they release some cremes in the future. I was a little skeptical about the glitter, hoping it wouldn't be chunky gross glitter on the lips, and I was pleasantly surprised!
Once you get these on the lips, the glitter is really more of a shimmer, and I couldn't feel it at all. It added a really pretty sheen to my lips and had the perfect amount of pigmentation: not too sheer, not too opaque.
One thing that is really different about these glosses is the wand. It isn't your typical doe-foot sponge applicator, but more of a two sided flat sponge. It was a little awkward to use at first, and to be honest I wish it was just a regular applicator instead.
The next shade I got was Pink Ice. This is a really pretty, light pink with silver microshimmer. I see myself wearing this over nude-type lipsticks or just when I want a pretty light gloss.
Here's some swatches in two different angles of lighting:

The Minnesota The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announces that forest management planning is underway for the Northern Minnesota & Ontario Peatlands Section Forest Resource Management Plan (NMOP SFRMP). Stakeholders are invited to view three webinars concerning the NMOP SFRMP planning process:
The NMOP SFRMP will identify management of forest vegetation for two areas in northern Minnesota: the Agassiz Lowlands and the Littlefork-Vermilion Uplands. These two areas extend across northern Minnesota and include all or parts of the following counties: Roseau, Lake of the Woods, Koochiching, St. Louis, Itasca, Beltrami, and Clearwater. The largest blocks of DNR land within these areas are the Beltrami Island State Forest, Koochiching State Forest, Red Lake State Forest, Pine Island State Forest, and the Kabetogama State Forest. The larger wildlife management areas included in this plan include: Red Lake WMA, Wapiti WMA, and the Moose River.
The NMOP SFRMP will comprise of two documents: the Preliminary Issues and Assessment and the NMOP SFRMP Plan.
The Preliminary Issues and Assessment document identified the types of issues to be addressed in the NMOP SFRMP and provide background information on the planning area's dominant canopy trees, land ownership and administration, wildlife species, and ecological resources.
NMOP SFRMP plan follows the Preliminary Issues and Assessment document. The SFRMP planning team is comprised of DNR staff with significant expertise and responsibilities in forest, wildlife, and ecological resource management. The team's focus will be to gather updated information describing the forest resources and to identify issues, which will be addressed during the planning process. Outcomes of the NMOP SFRMP will balance the interests of ecological concerns, wildlife habitat and forest harvesting that result in a sustainable 10 year harvest plan for the NMOP ecologic section. The draft NMOP SFRMP is scheduled to be completed June 2016.

Ropes Mansion Saved
Released August 18, 2009
By now you may have heard or seen in the news that a fire broke out on Saturday, August 15 in the attic of the Ropes Mansion, one of PEM's historic properties, at 318 Essex Street. The fire began while contractors were painting and conserving the exterior of the house.
Fortunately, local fire departments responded quickly, extinguishing the fire in less than 30 minutes. While the attic floor sustained some direct fire damage, there was no significant structural harm to the building. Firefighters took exceptional care to safeguard the house and collections and used minimal quantities of water. To that end, water damage to the first and second floors was alleviated to the extent possible.
The immediate presence of PEM security and facilities staff also greatly mitigated potential harm to the structure and its contents. Owing to PEM's disaster response protocols, members of the facilities, security, collections, and curatorial departments arrived at the house shortly after the fire began and worked through the night moving artifacts and furniture to a safe storage location.
A number of objects got wet, a few were damaged -- all are repairable. Only one object -- a glass pitcher -- was broken during firefighting. We consider this to be no less than miraculous, and are deeply grateful to the firefighters and staff members who responded so rapidly and with so much care and expertise.
The Museum itself is open per our usual schedule.
The Ropes Mansion Garden remains open to the public from Federal Street. For safety reasons, visitors may be asked to keep a safe distance from the house itself while we're working on the interior. There will be no public tours.

Occasionally a very special yacht is available on the brokerage market, which makes the transition from high quality performance cruising yacht to evergreen classic in one jump. This yacht was built at Camper & Nicholsons for the shipyard's owner to designs by the iconic Georgetti Magrini design house. The brief was to provide a well found and powerful cruising yacht and one which could be easily sailed by a small family group. She certainly delivered, and still in her original ownership, she is now awaiting her new family for more oceans.
To understand Aralus it might be helpful to know a little of the background of her owner. My family is a Greek ship owning family which has owned ships since the early 1800's. In 1956 my father Captain Maris, bought the 60 foot cutter called Aralus built in 1924. Following that he owned in succession the 65 foot ketch Stilvi, and the Nicholson 55, Andria. These were followed first with a ½ tonner called Warrior, and then with a very successful racing ½ tonner called Ace. All these yachts were built by Camper & Nicholsons. By the time Aralus came to be built in 1985 my family owned the Camper & Nicholson yacht building yard at Gosport and I was the chairman of C&N.
The objective with Aralus was to create a fast, safe cruising yacht capable of being sailed by two. The yacht was to be able to sail for long periods without need of calling in port. But at the same time be functional and even luxurious below- sailing in half tonners had provided enough hardships. We also wanted her to be beautiful – at least to our eyes.
We selected Giorgetti and Magrini as designers as they had just designed an attractive 55 foot schooner called Ashanti, with a lovely modern interior in light birch wood with maple edging, a far cry from the sheets of teak veneer that then characterized most production boats. And of course C&N were to be the builders.
C&N at the time was re-establishing its reputation as a builder of first class semi custom yachts, with the Dave Pedrick designed Nicholson 58s enjoying considerable success. However my intention was to move the company back to building larger custom yachts. And Aralus was to be the prototype for the techniques we were later to use in building the 90 foot aluminium ketch Victoria, and the 130 foot aluminium Cyrano; both Superyacht award winning yachts. Cost was not a consideration.
I'm pleased to say that results were successful. She is a lovely fast, well balanced and close winded boat to sail; in moderate winds you can sail her holding the wheel between finger and thumb. She's been sailed short handed in the Med, and on both sides of the Atlantic, whilst my family and guests have enjoyed five star luxury on extended cruises. Both my sons learned to walk on the boat, and now in their late teens/twenties they still love her – does this say something?
I didn't touch on an aspect I consider important in a yacht, and that is that she be something individual, not mass produced, not identical to others. Before the advent of fibreglass every yacht – even every dinghy, was individually designed. Why not, there was little saving to be made in copying a previous design. But once fibreglass came into use, the size at which it became economical to produce an individual, which is a custom yacht, was fixed essentially by the risk the yacht builders were willing to take in creating tooling which needed a considerable number of yachts to amortize.
The Nicholson 70 in the 1970's was then a step too far, but 55 feet worked fine. Today probably anything less than 100 feet (racing boats excepted) would probably be prohibitive as a one off, and that lower limit is rising not declining.
So Aralus was one of the last yachts of her size to be built as a completely unique custom yacht.
The hull, systems and fit out
It was decided from the outset that the yacht would be built to Lloyds 100A1 +LMC meaning that design of the hull, and all systems would be verified by Lloyds and the construction supervised throughout – even the main engine. The result is a yacht which is over-specified; the scantlings are heavier than need be, and the systems, including the electrical systems are to the standards of a much larger yacht. It has made the yacht structurally and systems trouble free.
The hull was built by Allday aluminium – who had just completed the two 12m British challengers for the Americas cup, they were therefore in peak form when they came to build Aralus.
The rest of the fit out took place at the C&N yard at Gosport.
The yacht has an aft cockpit with the machinery below. This means that the main engine and all auxiliary machinery is located aft in an engine room accessible from below and through a hinged access in the cockpit floor from above. Everything is unusually accessible; the main engine for example could be removed without any dismantling of joinery etc.
The yacht has large water and diesel tanks integral with the hull, about 1500 litres each. With 6 or 7 on board and paying no attention to water consumption – each person taking multiple showers, plenty of fresh water dishwashing, water consumption runs to around 400 litres a day. This means running the water-maker for around 4 hours, which in turn means running the generator for the same amount of time, which also more than deals with the fridges, and replenishes the batteries. The generator is quiet and economical. In harbour everything runs of a/c. When motoring the main engine drives the fridge compressor, and a two large alternators deal with the battery. An inverter gives ac power at all time. The water-maker still needs the generator.
The battery capacity means that lighting and fans can be run through the night and much of the day, without concern.
The other systems are what you'd expect in a well found yacht of this size.
The accommodation on Aralus is arranged so she can be sailed in several different ways. For example with a crew of two - skipper & cook / stewardess the foc'sle provides good crew accommodation accessed from the fore hatch which does not disturb the guests.
The two guest cabins can be used to accommodate four/five guests. Two bunks adjacent the companionway can be used for passage making, or for additional guests bringing the sleeping capacity of the yacht to 9 in berths, or converted to a settee or storage as needed.
The two guests cabins –the forward one with a double berth, the after with two singles (with one removable pipe cot above), have fixed port lights which offer outside views and enhance the feeling of space, whilst large hatches provide both ventilation and light. There is ample storage with generous hanging lockers and drawers and cupboards in each cabin. These cabins have reverse cycle air-conditioning.
The owner's cabin has an en suite head, whilst the guest cabin has the head opposite. The heads have ample stall showers, so that the bathrooms remain dry when the showers are used. The toilets are vacuum flushed and lead to a holding and treatment tank aft.
Sinks and shower trays are custom made in stainless steel and the tap and shower fittings are by Vola. The heads have generous hatches for light and air.
The main saloon has a fixed teak table with seating for 6 around it. There is ample storage in cupboards and in lockers below the settee and behind the settee backs. Port lights and generous hatches provide views, light and ventilation.
The galley is separated from the saloon by a preparation/serving counter which at sea acts as a brace for the cook to work securely in the galley. Below it a custom storage set accommodates all the crockery. The counter tops, deep double sinks, and galley extractor hood/overhead are in stainless steel for easy cleaning.
For safety and for good heat output the stove is a stainless steel 4 burner and oven, paraffin fired.
A very large eye level fridge forms the forward bulkhead of the galley, while the chest freezer is below the saloon settee immediately opposite.
This is a galley that is used safely and effectively at sea, whilst allowing the cook to prepare haute cuisine meals.
Adjacent the companionway to port is a navigation station with a full sized chart table. All the electrical systems can be operated and monitored from here, with double pole switches for all circuits and master fuses for the heavy consumers. The toilet system, tank gauges, battery charge meters, ammeters and voltmeters, and generator controls are all located here. A Simrad chart plotter and radar, and Brookes and Gatehouse electronics complete the navigation instruments. Communications are provided through a Skanti Mini M satellite phone/data link and a VHF radio.
Brooks and gatehouse repeater units are located in the passage berths, in each cabin and in the foc'sle.
This is a serious navigator's station which can be used in all sea states, and from which the yachts systems can be monitored and operated.
Throughout the accommodation there is red night time lighting, generous handholds and functional lee cloths, individual reading lights and fans, so that the yacht works properly below whilst at sea.
All in all an accommodation where there is a place for everything, and you can sleep, eat, navigate, cook, and relax, at sea and at anchor in safety and comfort for indefinite periods of time. You won't find yourself wanting to get ashore for a decent night's sleep, a proper shower, or some privacy.
Sailing and maneuvering
The yacht is cutter rigged. Both the staysail and the headsail are hydraulically furled by Rondal units controlled from the cockpit. The main which is fully battened is slab reefed. The winch system around the mast base allows one person to put a reef in, the reef at both tack and clew leading on to separate winches, with the central electric winch taking the main halyard to minimize the hard work.
The yacht has the equipment for a spinnaker, but not the spinnaker itself. There is an inadequately sized asymmetrical. Otherwise the yacht is sailed with main, Yankee and optionally the staysail. Progressive reduction of sail leads to a very compact rig with reefed main and the staysail, which allows the runners to be permanently set and the yacht tacked with only the staysail sheets to tend.
The yacht is wonderfully balanced and on the wind can be steered with one hand, even with a couple of fingers. She is fast and close winded, reaches well at up to 9 knots, and runs without vice, with her large rudder and skeg. She is stiff and sea kindly not slamming. Hydraulic backstay controlled from the cockpit avoids sag in the forestay to keep the yacht pointing.
Anchoring and manoeuvring in port are helped by the fact that the anchor windlass can be controlled from the cockpit as can the vertical capstan aft. So anchoring or coming stern to for example can be done by the helmsman alone. The large rudder means that once she has a little sternway she steers well astern.
There are ample large stainless steel mooring fairleads and bollards fore and aft, and amidships.
Forward is the large foc'sle hatch designed to allow any sail to be taken below. And forward below a flush hatch is an electric anchor windlass and capstan. The bow roller fairleads are housed in a massive stainless steel fabrication which allows two anchors to be carried in the stowed position. Drop nose pins prevent the anchor chain from coming off the fairleads even in very lively anchorages in a gale – as I have established.
The yacht is quiet and economical under power. The 135 hp 6 cylinder Perkins, new in 2006, is an old school engine, very low stressed and reliable. We cruise at 1750 rpm which corresponds to about 40 hp output for a consumption of around 9 litres an hour for 7.5 knots (tankage of 1500 litres means theoretical range of over 1,000 nautical miles. 2000 rpm gives about 8.5 knots.
The deep cockpit is secure at sea, and is easy to work. A dodger provides good shelter when sailing. At anchor a removable table gives a great outdoor dining space. The autopilot allows whoever is on watch to move about the decks on passage.
The decks which are essentially flush provide great sunbathing and lounging areas. We have a variety of different awnings, to provide shade on demand. There is stowage for the dinghy, windsurfers, the passarelle and the side boarding ladder in custom fittings on the deck and deckhouse, while the outboard motor stows on the pushpit.
Maintenance and refits
The yacht has been crewed for much of her life. She was kept in Lloyds class until 2010, when the cost of paying for surveyors started to exceed the cost of the work itself. She had a major refit in 2005 when the teak decks were replaced, all her hatches replaced, she was repainted and extensive additional work was done, and she had a new main engine installed in 2006. Due to pressure of work preventing us from using her, she has been stored ashore under a shrink wrapped cover since 2009.

Chapter 7 : It's not called the 'chicken dance' for nothing!
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 9
Background: Font color:
Voldemort entered the immaculately polished Ballroom, This was his most favourite room and he was proud of it, he often came in here to think or to dance with a broom.
Heel and toe, heel and toe, skip and skip and skip 2,3 Bellatrix shouted while the others endeavoured on doing a polka?
And now we do that again on the opposite leg! Bellatrix chanted. The other Deatheaters were in a circle, half on the outside half on the inside, they were holding their partners hands, except for Crabbe and Goyle who had pulled their sleeves down to cover there hands so they didnt get any germs.
What is going on? Voldemort roared.
The other Deatheaters turned around at the same exact time flicked their hair and glared at him. Voldemort was a bit scared at the current situation, here it was.
His Deatheaters were still wearing their ridiculous rainbow Deatheater cloaks, they are dancing the polka to some weird muggle music and whats more! They had just acted like total muggles with the hair flick, and now theyre standing there glaring at him.
DO you mind? Narcissa spat in an uptight American accent.
Voldemort sighed and sunk down into the nearest table with his head in his hands.
Oh come on Tommy come dance with us! Lucuis called while he grabbed Voldemorts wrist and dragged him to the ballroom floor and spun him so he was on the outside of the circle.
Bellatrix beamed and began to recite the steps all over again.
After a while Bellatrix jumped on the stop in an excited manner and deemed it was time to do the Chicken Dance
A weird muggle tune came on the magical amps and the Deatheaters ran into lines.
And a little bit of this The Deatheaters help up their hands in front on them and open and closed them.
And a little bit of that the Deatheaters flapped there arms curled under their armpits as enthusiastic as ever.
And shake your bum The Deatheaters all turned around and shake their bums.
Just like your mum The Deatheaters waved their arms.
As the instrumental played the death eaters skipped around in circles with their arms linked.
Soon a Mexican wave started before the last dance of the song.
As soon as the music was up the Deatheaters all cheered and literally ran out of the room.
WHAT IS THIS Narcissa screamed and flung the door open to the broom cupboard in which Voldemort, yes Voldemort was hiding in.
Narcissa thrust a plant in Voldemorts face and he instinctively recoiled, the plant was dead and the leaves had fallen off.
I gave you this plant for your birthday, And what do it get, this you let the plant die and the paint I painted with my own two hands CHIP OFF Narcissa shrieked. While Voldemort winced at the sound.
Im sorry! Voldemort pleaded just so she would go away.
Narcissa flung the plant at Voldemort and potting soil flicked at his face before she ran out of the room her high heels clicking as she went.
My middle names Bellatrix Narcissa called out seriously and Bellatrix nodded enthusiastically.
And mine is Narcissa Bellatrix added. And then as an after thought she added
You know our parents really never had much imagination when it comes to names .
Lucuis nodded and then looked at Voldemort Marvolo what kind of middle name is that? Some kind of Microwave brand?
Voldemort sighed furiously It was my filthy fathers name
Mcnair sighed dreamily You know you love him deep inside, and if it wasnt for the fact that you kind have murdered him. Im sure he would love you as well.
Moving On from my name Voldemort hissed.
Oh yeah, do you want to know what snapes really up to Goyle asked enthusiastically.
What Voldemort asked angrily but curious at the same time.
Well snape-pretending-to-be-on-our-side-while-hes-really-on-dumbledores-side-and-he-sold-you-out-just-so-he-wouldnt-get-sent-to-Azkaban-he-also-tired-to-cut-the-dark-mark-out-of-his-skin-with-sowing-scissors Goyle retold as fast as possible before running out of the room.
SEVERUS Voldemort roared before storming out of the room furiously. The Deatheaters nervous giggling could be heard.
And thats the 7th chapter, I'm sorry its so short nothing game to me, and I want to fit as many as possible in b4 the staff go on validation break!
Big thanks to my dedicated readers and reviewers for sticking by me with this.

I received a generous sample size of this several months ago. As I just trim the back and front of my neck and have a full beard, I've barely even started on the bottle. A small amount does the trick, and not much would be required for a full shave for the un-bearded. Therefore, I think this is a great value for the job it does. It is soothing and doesn't have any kind of sting or cooling element, which I'm not a fan of. Overall, i'll probably buy a full sized bottle when I run out.5

We left Mendoza on an 11 am bus to San Juan where we were to connect with another bus headed for Valle de la Luna (I think translated this equates to Valley of the moon). Everything went smoothly and we arrived at 6pm into a tiny little village with one tourist attraction - The national Park - Valle de la luna (not too much was written about this in the Lonely Planet, and Matt seemed to think it contained dinosaur fossils, bones, and was probably even hoping for something like Jurassic Park!). It appeared that there were only a couple of places to stay in the village and one of the hostels had a van and seemed to be picking lots of people up, so we thought we'd go along too
We unpacked a few things and went to the tourist information - Habla Ingles Matt asked the lady, Si, she says and then continues to talk to us in Spanish. Somehow we get the address of the tour companies and find out how infrequently the buses travel North up the country (ut oh) and off we toddle to chat with the tour companies - Habla Ingles? Matt asks, no is the reply (ut oh) but ok we managed to understand most of it with the help of pictures and writing - not many pictures of dinosaurs I might add...
We left the office and wandered to the bus station to check out the times of the buses heading North - Hmmm, 3:30am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday - that doesn{t sound like much fun and theres nothing to do here for longer than one day... So we decide we would do the tour the following morning 7am start, then get the bus out heading back South for San Juan at 6pm.
We booked the tour and the bus - sorted, just get some dinner and then off to bed.
So back to today, 6:10 am our roommates alarm went off - I thought I liked to be cautious but even we had ours set for 6:30 - so we snoozed for another 20mins - although had I actually looked at the number of insects that I had been sharing my be with I think I would have been up a good few hours earlier - yuk...(some of them were squashed!) glad to be checking out of there today
We got to the park where we weregive an english pamphlet explaining a little about the park (make the most of the English) and then we were off in our van with a bunch of other cars to the first of 5 checkpoint - a Guide leads the way and we stop and he then talks in great detail about what we are seeing - in Spanish... looks like it might have been quitte interesting if we could have understood a word of it! The park was basically like what you would imagine the landscape of the moon to look like - very pretty, but where are the dinosaurs?? Hang on we are being pointed in the direction of what sounds like the English word fr Fossil - Matt is getting excited - yep there it is, a tiny little fern - ahhhhh, that was our first and last fossil in the park!
The other stops were much the same, great views but we couldnt understand a word. The final stop was the museum, ah ha - dinosaurs!! Some fossil finding equipment, a couple of fossils and some replica dinosaurs - oh well, so we did kind of see them in the end!
You may notice from the photos that Matt is wearing his only "going out" shirt - this is because he is in desperate need of doing some washing - he has already taken t-shirts out of the washing bag to re-wear - te hee - not only that, we discovered that he hasn{t had a shower for 3 days - I think hes letting himself go!!
So in 1 hour our bus leaves for the 4 hour journey to San Juan, where we are hoping that a little miracle happens and there will be a night bus heading north with available seats on it... otherwise we are arriving at 10pm in a new town and will have to find somewhere to spend the night (it will cost more than 3pounds!)
photos will be added soon...
Just want to say Happy Birthday to my nan today - so sorry that I cant call - the phones in this village wont let me call international - will try tomorrow as soon as we get somewhere sensiible - hope you had a great day and love you lots :-)

Wyclef, Raheem DeVaughn to Attend Nation of Islam Event
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan will commemorate the 80-year anniversary of his Chicago-based religious group alongside celebrity attendees Wyclef Jean and Raheem DeVaughn this weekend. Minister Farrakhan, who has long held relationships with members of the hip-hop community, will use the annual Saviours' Day celebration to address the recent earthquake in Haiti and to encourage donations from the African-American community.
"I intend in my Saviours' Day address to provide Divine warning and guidance from [former leader] the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to the Black community to the American people and to our brother, President Barack Obama," he said in a statement. "It is critical that everyone understand the time in which we live so that we can act in the manner that could save our lives." Details surrounding both Jean and DeVaughn's appearance have yet to be released.
The three-day event begins Friday (Feb. 26) at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. It will commence Sunday (Feb. 28) with Min. Farrakhan's keynote address 'The Time and What Must Be Done' at the United Center in Chicago. Other notable invitees include author Dr. Iynala Vanzant, director Allen Hughes, and founder of Essence Magazine, Susan Taylor.
Founded in Detroit in 1930, the Nation of Islam is a Muslim organization based on economic, spiritual, mental and social resurrection for African-Americans in both North America and abroad. Among its most famous members was Malcolm X, who left the group in the 1960s and converted to orthodox Islam before his assassination in 1965. Min. Farrakhan has lead the group since 1978.

What's for dinner?
What's on the table at your house tonight?
I made pork chops with oven roasted baby red potatoes and avocado for dH
ds had pork chop, oven roasted baby red potatoes, peas and carrots, and applesauce
i don't eat pork so I had stuffed green peppers, dh doesn't eat them so when I make them I freeze them for when I make pork. I had applesauce and steamed rice with it.
Today I am gonna make dh chicken breast with mashed potatoes. I have to pack his dinner and he will take it with him when he comes home for lunch. He works late on Mondays so I send him dinner. If I don't he will eat nasty McDonald's or something equally gross.
I think me and ds will have some homemade Mac and cheese with lots of broccoli in it.

Adjust Your Sails
Login or Create an Account
With a UCG.org account you will be able to save items to read and study later!
A friend has a beautiful refrigerator magnet that states: "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails." This saying is an excellent reminder for her, and it can be for us too. Often we have no control over what comes our way in life, but we can adjust our choices, our attitudes and how we handle everything from gentle breezes to the gusts and storms of life.
We should daily adjust our sails in life toward God and living the principles in the Bible (Matthew 4:4 Matthew 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
American King James Version×). If we do that, we will arrive at the destination God wants for each of us. Happy sailing!

jus looking at the diagram... shouldn't the clock do that for me? an also pin14 of X20 didn't lead to anywhere, was jus a dead end, only had a wire on one side of the plug an nothing on the ECU side of it
jus looking at the diagram... shouldn't the clock do that for me? an also pin14 of X20 didn't lead to anywhere, was jus a dead end, only had a wire on one side of the plug an nothing on the ECU side of it
*sorry think i'm gettin mixed up between TheEnd's post and BMWarrior, will connector pin4 of the black plug to pin 9 of X20
sorry for the mistake on my part pin9. I hope your problem is solved
hugo318iss (23-03-2011)
have just replaced the leaking ICV will update later after i give it a lil rag
still no improvement after replacing the leaking ICV although, am yet to perform the wiring trick
Ronnie (10-04-2011)
Yes, that's correct.
The brown red wire is the speed signal output, and is passed into the clocks.
It then seems that the clocks decide whether to output the speed signal to the other components depending on if the ABS ECU is happy.
It picks up a signal from a rear wheel sensor and in theory than passes the signal on.
From what I can tell, and confirmed from the posts above is that the format of the signal is the same, so bridging those wires removes the intervention from the ABS and instrument cluster.
hugo318iss (10-04-2011)
ah kl, thanks TheEnd, was wondering what i was doing when playing with these wires lol
so pin 4 of instrument cluster (black plug) is the incoming speed signal which is then passed onto the ECU through pin9 of x20 then?
I have a wiring diagram that shows them slightly differently, but this is a 1996 manual, and might be US based.
X271 is the small plug, and you can see pin 4, Speed signal and E= input.
This manual calls the next plug X16, and shows it leaving as pin 20, and an output to the ECU.
Later on in the same diagram, it does mention X20, and says the wiring colour is black/white, although I have a feeling X20 is actually the loom / chassis plug at the engine bay.
The "Cluster" pic should help you out, br/rt =brown/red connected to sw/ws =black/white
ye X20 is def the loom chassis plug in the engine bay, so do you reckon i should be able to jus connect pin 4 of X271 to pin 20 of X16? will get the multimeter out n see if it all connects as it says it is thanks
so looking at the diagram pin 20 of X16 goes on to pin 20 of X20 (6211.0-02)(1997 manual), so this can be ignored?
so the signal comes in on pin 4 of X271 from the speed sensor, and i need to forward this signal onto pin 9 of X20?
have been looking through the wiring manual and just out of curiosity what does pin 9 of X20 do/go to?

Deer Hunting Forums (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/)

- - Place (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/campfire/4061-place.html)
Are any of you from the south? Its alot different hunting and food plot plannting in the south than in the north. I would like to get some ideas on plannting in the south. Ive tried plannting a few times but havnt had much luck with it. Dont know if i planted the wrong things or if i done it at the wrong time. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm from texas and we usually plant oats in late Sept. -- we disc the area well (to get all the other grasses out) and then we spread the seed and the deer in my area respond well to them...
Plus you have to consider the area. For instance, where I hunt over in Schliecher Co. TX (West Texas) is a totally different ecosystem even from where Droptine here is, let alone LA. So you have to see what works in your area. You might try asking local farmers what the deer are eating, (believe me they'll know they might even invite you to thin the herd a little ;) ) or even so far as to see what deer management companies in your area are using. Remember food plots arent just about attracting deer to kill, but for growing healthy ones that you can hunt in future seasons.
Found this report from the LSU AG department. Apparently they did a study on whitetail food plot plantings. Hope it helps.
Here in TN we are going to plant Shot Plot during the middle of Sept.. The guys I am on the lease with said that stuff came up better than anything else they have tried so far..
We sprayed the old plots with poison.. Will go back and disc/till up the ground.. Then sow the seed..

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge HTML version
The Moonlit Road
I: Statement of Joel Hetman, Jr.
I am the most unfortunate of men. Rich, respected, fairly well educated and of sound
health -- with many other advantages usually valued by those having them and coveted
by those who have them not -- I sometimes think that I should be less unhappy if they had
been denied me, for then the contrast between my outer and my inner life would not be
continually demanding a painful attention. In the stress of privation and the need of effort
I might sometimes forget the sombre secret ever baffling the conjecture that it compels.
I am the only child of Joel and Julia Hetman. The one was a well-to-do country
gentleman, the other a beautiful and accomplished woman to whom he was passionately
attached with what I now know to have been a jealous and exacting devotion. The family
home was a few miles from Nashville, Tennessee, a large, irregularly built dwelling of no
particular order of architecture, a little way off the road, in a park of trees and shrubbery.
At the time of which I write I was nineteen years old, a student at Yale. One day I
received a telegram from my father of such urgency that in compliance with its
unexplained demand I left at once for home. At the railway station in Nashville a distant
relative awaited me to apprise me of the reason for my recall: my mother had been
barbarously murdered -- why and by whom none could conjecture, but the circumstances
were these.
My father had gone to Nashville, intending to return the next afternoon. Something
prevented his accomplishing the business in hand, so he returned on the same night,
arriving just before the dawn. In his testimony before the coroner he explained that
having no latchkey and not caring to disturb the sleeping servants, he had, with no clearly
defined intention, gone round to the rear of the house. As he turned an angle of the
building, he heard a sound as of a door gently closed, and saw in the darkness,
indistinctly, the figure of a man, which instantly disappeared among the trees of the lawn.
A hasty pursuit and brief search of the grounds in the belief that the trespasser was some
one secretly visiting a servant proving fruitless, he entered at the unlocked door and
mounted the stairs to my mother's chamber. Its door was open, and stepping into black
darkness he fell headlong over some heavy object on the floor. I may spare myself the
details; it was my poor mother, dead of strangulation by human hands!
Nothing had been taken from the house, the servants had heard no sound, and excepting
those terrible finger-marks upon the dead woman's throat -- dear God! that I might forget
them! -- no trace of the assassin was ever found.
I gave up my studies and remained with my father, who, naturally, was greatly changed.
Always of a sedate, taciturn disposition, he now fell into so deep a dejection that nothing
could hold his attention, yet anything -- a footfall, the sudden closing of a door -- aroused
in him a fitful interest; one might have called it an apprehension. At any small surprise of

The Best 3/20/2016
The Grizzly G0448 is my third hollow chisel mortiser. I was hesitant to invest so much money in a mortiser since I am only a hobbyist. However, I was doing a project that would require a lot of mortises and I had enough frustrations with the previous cheap ones and so ordered the G0448. It is worth every cent. The ease of use, speed in moving the work piece left/right and fore/aft is such a treat. The depth stop setting is very easy to adjust and will not move under pressure, like some other mortisers. Every time I use it I realize I made the right decision with this tool purchase.

Vintage guitar for trade
I have a vintage Gibson 1988 white mint condition ES175 I'd like to trade for a sailboat. I don't mind a project boat, as long as she can sail - working rigging, rudder, sails, and such.
The color of the guitar is it's original custom color, white, but has mellowed into a truly unique off white hue after 20 years of aging.
I need about 35' to 45' of length, and would prefer a fractional sloop with a fixed keel. I'm a wood craftsman, so I can fix wood related repairs that are necessary.

Article, 2010 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Men's Baseball
2010 CCCAA Baseball State Championship: Game 6 Recap
College of San Mateo "Bulldogs" (34-10-1) vs. Ohlone "Renegades" (37-10), 16-10
Sunday, May 23, 2010—Reprinted from California Community College Athletic Association (coasports.org).
Fresno—For just the second time in the history of California Community College baseball, two Northern California schools competed for the title. Back in 1992, Fresno City College defeated Sacramento City College, 3-2 for the championship. This year, Ohlone College (37-10) became the second team to win an All-NorCal match-up, as they defeated College of San Mateo (34-0-1), 16-10 in the California Community College Athletic Association Baseball State Championships, held at Fresno City College's John Euless Ballpark.
Facing elimination, San Mateo broke out first in the top of the second inning, scoring six runs off Ohlone staring pitcher Matt Fontaine (6-2). Thomas Wood got it started with a two-run single that drove in Joey Wallace and Trevor Pasiecznik, who singled and doubled, respectively. Three batters later, Andrew Suvunnachuen doubled in Pasiecznik and Wood for a 4-0 lead, while Justin Maffei made it 5-0 with an RBI double. Nick White then followed with an RBI single, which plated Suvunnachuen for a 6-0 advantage.
Bulldog staring pitcher Devin Bradley (5-1) rode the offensive surge that started the previous day with 15-14 and 16-4 wins that propelled them to the championships.
But that didn't last long, as tournament Most Valuable Player Jeff Johnson of Ohlone launched a three-run home run in the bottom of the third inning against Bradley to make it 6-4 right after Cody Foster drove in Michael DiRocco to get on the scoreboard.
The offensive spark by the Renegades seemed to rejuvenate Fontaine, as he responded with a shutdown 1-2-3 inning in the fourth. The batters followed Fontaine's lead with Ryan Walterhouse driving in Kyle Holmstrom from third base with a one-out single to make it 6-5 in the bottom of the stanza.
Playing their third game in two days seemed to show its wear and tear on the San Mateo pitching staff n the latter half of the game, as Ohlone feasted on the Bulldog bullpen after chasing Bradley early in the sixth inning.
San Mateo did go up 7-5 in the top of the sixth on a run-scoring sacrifice bunt by Ryan Allgrove, but Ohlone answered back with a Michael Ussery double, wild pitch and sacrifice fly by DiRocco. The Renegades tied the game on a one-out RBI single from Foster off relief pitcher Nick Franquez (5-2), with Steven Ramos advancing to third base after his double. A walk to Zach Johnson loaded the bases before Jeff Johnson launched a 2-2 offering from Franquez for a grand slam, his fourth home run of the tournament.
Not to be outdone by Jeff Johnson's offensive heroics, Ramos came out and made two highlight reel diving catches in the top of the seventh inning. His speed came into play in the bottom of the seventh, as he singled and scored from first base on a failed pick-off attempt. It sparked a four-run inning, which put the game out of reach at 15-7.

We consider approximate PCPs for multidimensional bin-packing problems. In particular, we show how a verifier can be quickly convinced that a set of multidimensional blocks can be packed into a small number of bins. The running time of the verifier is bounded by O(T(n)), where T(n) is the time required to test for heaviness. We give heaviness testers that can test heaviness of an element in the domain [1, ...,n]d in time O((log n)d). We also also give approximate PCPs with efficient verifiers for recursive bin packing and multidimensional routing.

A pro-gun group in America has come under fire after creating the world's first working gun using a 3D printer.
Defense Distributed, who created the weapon, has said that it will publish the blueprints online.
The group spent a year making the gun, which was successfully fired in Texas on Saturday.
Anti-gun organisations criticised the work, and Europol, the European police agency, said that they would keep an eye on the development of 3D technology to create weaponry.
The gun was made on a 3D printer bought on eBay for $8000 (£5140) and only the gun's firing pin was made of metal.
The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) confirmed that making a gun using a 3D printer is legal – as long as it's not a banned type of gun.

Don't Respond to Crackpots
Don't Respond to Crackpots
Dear Editor,
I hope the residents of Rockaway didn't respond again with a slew of letters to the article printed in "The Wave" by the anti-semitic crackpot. To do so would lend him credence and credibility. He is an insignificant guppy in a pond of fish.
To reply merely creates a tit for tat format. It's an act in futility to respond. It is best not to dignify his presence or existence. Let it go.
We are better off focusing on the big apples in public office and in the public's eye. Many of these people spew forth their venom with racism, divisiveness and acrimony.
You cannot explain anything to someone with no flexibility and a warped mind. Let this schmuck fade into obscurity.
P.S. I hope you will not delete this letter because of the slang word I used in my last sentence. It has become very prevalent in the tabloids written by columnists.

Here is a Scented soap one
2 cups hot water, 1 to 2 ounces of castile soap, 5 to 10 drops of essential oil of your choice, 16 ounce spray bottle.
Just mix and shake in the spray bottle. This one is great for washing kitchen cupboards, counters, door handles etc.
For greasy stains use a castile cleaner
1 tsp washing soda
2 tsp borax
1/2 tsp castile soap
2 cups hot water
10 drops essential oil of your choice

Yep, I've used hydrogen peroxide for probably 1.5 years and it works great.
Think about it, hydrogen peroxide is used to "disenfect" cuts or scraps and some doctors offices actually use it to wipe down their examination tables.
I buy a 2 bottle set (large bottles) from Costco for like $2.00 or so and pour one into a spray bottle.
I go through, spray all the surfaces down and then just wipe off.
Works great.02-08-2008, 11:51 AM #1002-08-2008, 12:45 PM #11

Would you use the vinegar and water solution on the stool? Would this be strong enough? I've always used Mr. Clean or bleach and water but I do want to switch to something much healthier.02-09-2008, 10:20 PM #14
That's a great question. Is vinegar enough for stool???? (we are potty training this month, yes training is the operative word)
I have been using vinegar water for most things, but for stool I have been pulling out the bleachy water.02-10-2008, 02:35 PM #15
My mom is very earthy and part indian...I grew up remembering her always using baking soda and vinegar and it worked amazing. first she would sprinkle the baking soda on the surface than dump a bit of white vinegar over it...and bam, it was bubble and then you wipe and it shines! Good luck!

05 Focus fuel pump going out?
When I go to start my car and "bypass" accessory on my ignition my car has a very hard time starting, if at all. If I put my ignition on accessory I can hear a odd "noise" coming from the rear of my car, about far back as the rear wheel. The "noise" goes away after 2-3 seconds. If I wait for the "noise" to stop my car would start up. Now the problem is getting worse, even if I let the "noise" go away my car is still having a hard time starting. I remember my dads van doing this and it ended up being the fuel pump. Just want to semi-verify before I buy the part.
Car has about 127,000 miles on it.
Thanks!!!! [wrenchin]
Does not sound like the physical fuel pump is bad.
The "noise" is the fuel pump. When you turn the key to "on" the fuel pump primes. This takes a second or two.
If you "start" the car the fuel pump still has to prime before the car will start. It will run on lower fuel pressure, just not well.
IIRC there is a TSB for long crank/hard starts that Ford can do. It may help some. It's an ECU reflash and will cost money. How much I can't say. Might be enough that it may be worth looking into an Xcal and custom tune.
But just to cover bases,
When was the Fuel Filter last replaced?
If you don't know or it's been a while, replace it. It's cheap and relatively easy to do. It also rules out 1 possibility.
Do that first and see if anything changes or improves.
search long crank times,you will find plenty of info. common 2005-2007 problem. I haven't had the dealer work on mine yet,but what I have found works most time of the time is turn the key on and wait for the seat belt chime to stop before I try to start the engine.
Buy primes?
Thinking this is over your head and you should bring it in to be diagnosed but,
Primes - When the key is turned to the On position power is sent to the fuel pump, it is on until fuel pressure reaches ~40psi, then turns off. This happens, or should, every time the key is turned form off to the on position.
It's not something you can buy or replace.
The fuel tank must be removed in order to replace the fuel pump.
I'm not convinced it's the fuel pump just yet. Fuel filters have a 20-30k mile life. If yours has never been changed, then the fuel pump has to work harder to get the fuel up to pressure along the whole line.
One sign of a fuel pump going bad is that it takes more than 5 seconds for the pump to prime the system as Iminhell described. If yours is only on for 2-3 secs, then that's normal. Shorter is better, of course, but most likely your problem is elsewhere.
Starting is probably the hardest thing your engine does- especially cold start after sitting for a few days or overnight. The mix must be rich to start and run until the engine warms up- which takes about 1-2 mins in modern cars. That's why the 05 models had problems starting- the mix was too lean for fuel conservation. If you have a vacuum leak- like the PCV line under the intake manifold, a loose intake manifold, or a bad brake booster- then starting will be even more difficult.
Until you find the problem, you can try to see if this will help make it easier. When you go to start the engine cold, turn the key and let it turn over just a few cranks- like 3, about 1 second of cranking. Turn the key back off, and start again normally. This should richen the mix enough and it will start within 1 second. I wouldn't turn the key off a second time for a 3rd crank if it doesn't fire up. That might cause flooding, and then you'll need to know how to remedy that situation- which sounds a lot like a dead battery.
Just in case- to remedy flooding: key off, press accelerator to the floor and hold, turn key to start and crank until the hear the engine sputter. Stop cranking, release accelerator, and start engine. The engine will not start in "emergency start mode" when you're holding the accelerator to the floor, that gives it the signal not to shoot fuel. Go out and try it if you want to without trying to crank it normally first- it will just crank and crank and never fire. That works on all EFI vehicles I know of.
What about then noise I am hearing?
He already told you. The noise is the pump priming up, it happens for 2-3 seconds every time you turn key on. Sounds like a whine or whir coming from gas tank area.
If noisy and you've never noticed it before then it COULD be going bad, getting noisier is a sign of one going bad. Normally the noise is so slight most people never notice it.
It can be erratic, car starts fine for a week and then out of the blue won't once.
Change filter for sure if it's never been done.

Hello first time posting my own thread in the photography forum, i have a compatibility question.
I love my Sony Nex-5n but my lens options are limited unless i purchase an adapter. My question. Is an older style lens (i.e. SMC Pentax-A 70-210 f/4.0, or M42 Super Takumar 55mm f/1.8) worth mating up with this new style camera? Will it hurt the quality of the picture? I know when i take videos i will lose AF, but that doesn't bother me. I am also open to sugestions to. Thanks in adavnce for your time.
Only reason why i would like to do this is because sony E-mount Lens are kinda on the expensive side, and to get an adapter for the Sony Alpha A-mount is an LA-EA1 Adapter $170.00 But for any other lens its anywere from $30-$100.

Cold groundwater entering the warm Yellowstone River
Groundwater falls from a cliff and enters the Yellowstone River below the town of Big Timber, Montana.
Groundwater typically is much colder than the summer temperatures of rivers, and thus helps moderate temperatures. In this case, the groundwater was 11C (52F) and the Yellowstone River afternoon temperature was 22 C (72F). The high temperatures decrease the oxygen carrying capacity of the water, but increase the metabolic oxygen demand of the trout (and other fish) in the river. An additional metabolic demand for oxygen comes when fish digest food. At the high temperatures, there isn't enough oxygen to go around, so fish decrease their feeding, and fishing becomes poor.

A School Year Ends With More Questions Than Answers
This school year has been one of change and, if you believe the mayor and his educational experts, one of growth as well. The mayor has banked his reelection on a rise in standardized test scores and he seems to have achieved some movement upward in that direction. There are many, however, including many who work within the public school system, who question the cost of that minimal upward movement in scores. First of all, lots of time is spent in test preparation. Although the argument has been made that students are learning while they are doing test prep, we would argue that all they are learning is how to take a specific test. One of the major complaints by teachers, both new and experienced, is that there is too much time learning how to take tests. In order to teach the "Literacy Blocks" that have become the most important factor of education in New York City (in tandem with bulletin boards), some of the more traditional subjects have been pushed not only to the back burner, but also completely off the stove. Science education has been given short shrift in District 27 and throughout Region Five to allow for more English and Mathematics. In some local schools, Science is not taught at all to elementary school students and only a few periods a week to middle school students. This should be unacceptable to parents no matter what their students score on the standardized tests. Social Studies education fares even worse in District 27. Not only has Social Studies and the study of government been deleted from elementary school programs, it has been relegated to less than two hours a week in most middle schools. What kind of voters will these students be when they reach adult age? How about Geography? Some of the students have little understanding of the political subdivisions in which they live. They constantly use "up" and "down" for north and south. Some do not even know that they live in Queens or in New York City. Being able to read and do math word problems should not be the only criteria for literacy. We need informed voters and we will not get them from today's public schools. We have been saying for years, long before the tests became the "high-stakes" gamble of today, that the tests are largely meaningless except as a way to measure a school against its past. Today, those meaningless tests are the benchmark for success and careers rise and fall on the scores. Success is based not on what a child actually learns or what he or she knows, but how well he or she scores on a virtually meaningless test. To add to the woe, there have been charges that "at-risk" students such as special education and bilingual students were kept from taking the tests this year, skewing the scores upward. In addition, all of the students who were kept back last year, and rightfully so, did not take this year's fourth grade tests. To our mind, those factors skewed the scores upward simply so that the mayor could gain some political favor. What's coming next year? Your guess is as good as ours, but in the middle of a political year when education has become the seminal issue, anything is likely to happen and probably will.

Aug 21, 2013 - By Steven R. PeckIf there are supporters of a single director for the county museums, they are keeping quiet.
On the single-director concept for the county's museum department, it's fair to say that those in county officialdom still have some work to do in making their case to the public.
Any change is bound to meet some criticism, so the one-director idea is not unusual in that way. But so far there don't seem to be many supporters of the idea to speak of, other than those in high places of county government.
Sometimes our leaders really do know best. We elect our office holders to make decisions in the public interest, and they usually have close-up knowledge of an issue that the rest of us don't. Perhaps this is one of those cases.
Still, the critics are more than holding their own. Letters to the editor are by no means the only way to judge public opinion -- and backers of this idea had better hope not. So far, our mailbag from general readers has been 100 percent against the proposal. Another letter critical of the idea will appear Sunday.
We have reported and published numerous articles about the museum situation, including on Tuesday, giving those who lean toward the one-director model ample space to explain the basis for this possible change.
Remember, this idea didn't come from nowhere. Its proponents are proposing it for a reason, and there are those in the Fremont County Commission chambers, and perhaps other high places, who favor it.
But if the premise of appointing a single director for the county museums system while replacing the three museum directors with a lower-paid "curator" position has supporters among the general public, they are keeping silent. Meanwhile, critics of the idea are numerous and vocal -- and an idea with few supporters and many critics isn't often the sort that succeeds.
Perhaps the backers are out there. If so, they ought to speak up now.

Police busted a gang of terror suspects wanted across four southern states — Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka — for 12 years and believed to have been involved in the murder of BJP leader from Salem, V Ramesh.
While the ring leader Fakruddin was arrested with two of his accomplices on Friday evening from the outskirts of Chennai, two more gang-members were nabbed by Tamil Nadu police on Saturday after a 10-hour-long gunbattle in Puttur town of Andhra Pradesh's Chittoor district. In 2011, when senior BJP leader LK Advani was touring Kerala, hours before his yatra, police detected a 'pipe bomb' along the route. Fakruddin was the prime suspect in the case.
Within hours of nabbing Fakruddin, acting on a tip off, the police rushed to Puttur and surrounded a house, where the two accomplices – Bilal Malik and Panna Ismail — were holed up. No sooner did the police team, including Andhra Pradesh special police personnel, surround the house, than they encountered gunfire from inside.
