- I was a True Follower of JesusBy Carl S ~ Go into a Christian church parking lot any Sunday during service. You're likely to see a few expensive cars there.

I know this by the definition of sin and its relation […]

There is NO EVIDENCE that the Bible is from or inspired by a God, or that either of these two man-made biblical scriptures -- foundational to Christianism -- is true:
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave is only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." NONE.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so. ~Robert Ingersoll
If prayer actually worked, everyone would be a millionaire, nobody would ever get sick and die, and both football teams would always win. ~Ethan Winer
Every sensible man, every honorable man, must hold the Christian sect in horror. Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. ~Voltaire
The strongly religious fear our capacity for moral reasoning that does not require a magical, invisible deity. They fear our ability to be ethical without the threat of hell or the reward of heaven. They fear that our allegiance is not to this or that country, or this or that prophet, or this or that guru, but to humanity as a whole. ~Phil Zuckerman
The idea that God could only forgive our sins by having his son tortured to death as a scapegoat is surely, from an objective point of view, a deeply unpleasant idea. If God wanted to forgive us our sins, why didn't he just forgive them? Why did he have to have his son tortured? ~Richard Dawkins
Small is beautiful, when small is skilled and dedicated. ~Gene Logsdon
It is the right of every rational adult to choose their time of death and that has NOTHING to do with how sick you are.~Exit International
All religions are lies and scams, and all believers are victims. ~David Silverman
We [atheists] have no martyrs, we have no saints. ~Christopher Hitchens
Morality is doing right, no matter what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, no matter what is right. ~H L Mencken
I've observed that people tend to live at one of two extremes in the spectrum of life: those who live on the edge, and those who avoid the edge. Those who live on the edge are hanging out in the most dangerous and unstable places — yet they're also often the most powerful agents of change, because the edge is where change is happening; away from the edge, things are naturally unchanging. ~Thom Hartmann
Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion. ~Jon Stewart
My 12th year was my most Christian and most boring year in my life. ~Chuck Berry
Come on. You just can't come up with anything more ridiculous than someone who honestly thinks that all human woes stem from an incident in which a talking snake accosted a naked woman in a primeval garden and talked her into eating a piece of fruit. ~Keith Parsons
When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything. ~Umberto Eco
Christians don't need to be born again, they need to grow up. ~John Shelby Spong
Life is not a problem to be solved, nor a question to be answered. Life is a mystery to be experienced. ~Alan Watts
Society is like a stew: If you don't stir it up every now and then, the scum rises to the top.~Edward Abbey
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller
How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one. ~ Richard Dawkins
I'm not saying there isn't a god, but there isn't a god who cares about people. And who wants a god who doesn't give a shit? ~Robert Munsch
One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. ~Arthur C. Clarke
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; Give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. ~ Anon
When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ~ Stephen Roberts
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. ~ Joseph Campbell
The only true definition of an atheist: a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in God or gods. ~Oxford English Dictionary
You have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Faith is just another word for gullibility.
I sang as one / Who on a tilting deck sings / To keep men's courage up, though the wave hangs / That shall cut off their sun. ~C. Day Lewis

Books in the Freethinkers Library
What is a fact beyond all doubt is that we share an ancestor with every other species of animal and plant on the planet. We know this because some genes are recognizably the same genes in all living creatures, including animals, plants and bacteria. And, above all, the genetic code itself — the dictionary by which all genes are translated — is the same across all living creatures that have ever been looked at. We are all cousins. Your family tree includes not just obvious cousins like chimpanzees and monkeys but also mice, buffaloes, iguanas, wallabies, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, wombats and bacteria. All are our cousins. Every last one of them. Isn't that a far more wonderful thought than any myth? And the most wonderful thing of all is that we know for certain it is literally true...
The whole world is made of incredibly tiny things, much too small to be visible to the naked eye — and yet none of the myths or so-called holy books that some people, even now, think were given to us by an all-knowing god, mentions them at all! In fact, when you look at those myths and stories, you can see that they don't contain any of the knowledge that science has patiently worked out. They don't tell us how big or how old the universe is; they don't tell us how to treat cancer; they don't explain gravity or the internal combustion engine; they don't tell us about germs, or anesthetics. In fact, unsurprisingly, the stories in holy books don't contain any more information about the world than was known to the primitive peoples who first started telling them! If these 'holy books' really were written, or dictated, or inspired, by all-knowing gods, don't you think it's odd that those gods said nothing about any of these important and useful things? -Richard Dawkins
Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility. Life, as it is, does not frighten me, since I have made my peace with the universe as I find it, and bow to its laws… It seems to me that organized creeds are collections of words around a wish. I feel no need for such.
I know that nothing is destructible; things merely change forms. When the consciousness we know as life ceases, I know that I shall still be part and parcel of the world. I was a part before the sun rolled into shape and burst forth in the glory of change. I was, when the earth was hurled out from its fiery rim. I shall return with the earth to Father Sun, and still exist in substance when the sun has lost its fire, and disintegrated into infinity to perhaps become a part of the whirling rubble of space. Why fear? The stuff of my being is matter, ever changing, ever moving, but never lost; so what need of denominations and creeds to deny myself the comfort of all my fellow men? -Zora Neale Hurston
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. ~Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Founder
In the history of the world, the number of times a supernatural anything has been proven true is zero. Every god, ghost, spirit, devil, possession, and miracle ever claimed true is a lie. No exceptions. The number of times an atheistic (godless) argument has been proven wrong by a theistic argument is zero... In contrast, every time a theist-versus-atheist argument has been settled, an atheistic argument has won. This does not mean science is antireligion; it just means (or rather, strongly implies) religion is wrong... I challenge anyone to find any scientifically valid testable proof of anything supernatural, ever. If you can prove it, even once, I'll quit my job. I'm not nervous, as it has never been done in history, because it's ALL a lie. ~David Silverman, President
Local Organic Family Farms
THE SMALL ORGANIC FARM greatly discomforts the corporate/ industrial mind because the small organic farm is one of the most relentlessly subversive forces on the planet. Over centuries both the communist and the capitalist systems have tried to destroy small farms because small farmers are a threat to the consolidation of absolute power.
Thomas Jefferson said he didn't think we could have democracy unless at least 20% of the population was self-supporting on small farms so they were independent enough to be able to tell an oppressive government to stuff it.
It is very difficult to control people who can create products without purchasing inputs from the system, who can market their products directly thus avoiding the involvement of mercenary middlemen, who can butcher animals and preserve foods without reliance on industrial conglomerates, and who can't be bullied because they can feed their own faces. ~Eliot Coleman

As with all WASP SST broadheads, the Wasp Jak Hammer Broadhead features a pre-aligned, Stainless Smart Tip (SST). The edges of the trocar, Smart Tip are factory- aligned with the rise of the three stainless steel blades creating a straight cutting path that opens a gapping wound channel, ensuring maximum penetration. The three surgically sharp stainless steel blades of this mechanical broadhead fold forward in flight and are retained by an O-ring. Blades deploy on impact and fold back to a cutting diameter of 1-3/4 or 1-1/4 inches. 3 Pack.

Silent Desires
Angelo was the youngest of the crew to set out on the journey. When travelling space, his ship meets another relatively small one. When going in, it's completely empty except for one strange looking girl. Who is she? And what happens? (Lame summary I know :P)
There were six of us. I was the youngest.
It was strange how almost all of them underestimated me but they needed me and that's exactly whe I'd been chosen to join the crew. I knew how to navigate, use the maps. Without me, they'd be lost.
Yet my naivety was a risk from slowing them down. And that's exactly what had happened when I met her.
We were looking for a planet, one which was believed to have several resoures that we could use back on Earth. We'd already used our cryotanks and trapped several specimens of plants and different species we'd found. And this was the last place we were planning to visit before going back to Earth.
It was all just a coincidence though. At first, I thought I'd screwed up, lead the ship the wrong way. But a vessel floating about in space had nothing to do with my maps. And so, it began.
"All crew mates, report to the main room. Now."
I groaned and sat up right on my bed, stretching my joints before jumping off the edge and getting changed out of my pyjamas and into normal clothes. I could hear the footsteps from out side my room, shoes clanging against the metal floors as they headed there. I yawned and stepped outside, almost walking straight into Florence.
"Jeez, move aside," she muttered, pushing past my shoulder. I shrugged and followed her, ignoring the spiteful tone she'd used against me. Once we were all inside the room, Daniel - the leader and my eternal enemy - started going at me.
"It seems Angelo here, got us heading in the wrong direction," he scoffed, glaring at me.
"That's impossible," I replied dully. I was still half-asleep to care too much about what they were saying. But soon the frustration would kick in.
"We just encountered another space ship. And it looks familiar to ours. We know where the others were headed, we'd split up right? The chances of us encountering another team should be least likely seeing as we're travelling the opposite directions," he snapped.
"How are you even sure that it's our team? Couldn't it be-"
"I highly doubt that."
I sighed, waiting for them all to shut up before speaking. "Kiera's right. It could be someone else. We should probably investigate."
"But what if these other people are hostile? We don't know what we're going up against," Florence said.
"If you want, I can go in," I said with a shrug. All five other faces turned to meet mine. But they were all up for the idea. Apparently, losing the youngest and most inexperienced teammate seemed less risky for them. And that's how I ended up venturing into the space ship, alone.
I wasn't yet thinking straight, my mind continuing to wander. But as I searched the different rooms of the small space vessel, the fear inside me of meeting anything or anyone dangerous died down. I hadn't seen anything out of the norm. The vessel looked like it had been built out of our human technology.
Yet, the last room I encountered was where I found her.
Opening that door, I hadn't expected anything big. After all the last seven rooms had been empty.
But there, lying down in the middle of the room on a small bed was a girl.
She had long curls of deep violet shaded hair tumbling down the front of her body. Her lips were abnormally dark red, and I couldn't tell how old she looked, let alone what she was.
But there, standing, transfixed to the spot as my eyes watched her in her sleep, curiousity and questions started to fill me.

The Runaway
It's getting near Christmas,
With each blink of my eye,
I see tragedy after tragedy,
Passing me by.
I look back and ain't proud of,
Some things that I said,
When we fought this time last year,
And that day I left.
Santa don't visit me,
Not anymore,
He abandoned me,
When I walked out your door.
I'm surviving slowly,
But I'm out in the snow,
And year after year,
I feel I'm growing old.
My kids are unborn now,
Waiting for their chance,
At success and failure,
At teenage romance.
But how can I raise them,
When you couldn't raise me,
Because I didn't let you,
And you watched me leave.
That fear of rejection,
Will be forever in my heart,
Because I know the other side,
And the stubborn start.
Well it's been about a year now,
And I wanted to say,
I think about you,
Almost every day.
It's getting near Christmas,
And I just can't pretend,
So I'm asking you if
I can come home again.

1899 $10 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Remarkable 1899 Eagle, PR66 Ultra Cameo1899 $10 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. It has been nine years since we offered a proof 1899 Liberty eagle in so high a grade--and that piece, which formerly resided in the fabled Ed Trompeter Collection, was certified by NGC as PR66 Cameo rather than the PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC has assigned to the present coin. Although the recorded mintage is 86 pieces, proofs are extremely rare and seldom appear in the marketplace: Akers in 1980 estimated that only 25-30 pieces are known. The Breen Proof Encyclopedia notes, "Much rarer than commonly believed; seldom shows up." More recently, the Garrett-Guth Gold Encyclopedia seems to be understating the rarity of the issue by saying that "auction appearances are also among the most frequent for the series, with an average of two pieces coming up for sale every year." (The average actually appears to be 1.5 coins per year.)
Of course, such terms as "frequent" need to understood within the larger context of "Just how rare is proof gold overall?" More specifically, one might ask, "How rare are proof Liberty Head eagles?" As one measure, a quick perusal through Heritage's permanent auction archives will reveal that of the more than 26,000 Liberty Head eagles we have offered in the last 13 years since we began maintaining those archives, only a bit more than 1%, or 294 pieces, were proofs. It is also revealing to note that we have offered, in absolute terms, fewer Liberty Head proof gold proof eagles than any other Liberty Head proof gold denomination.
Finally, regardless of the absolute rarity of proof gold and proof Liberty Head eagles in particular, this special piece represents an amazing conditional rarity. Of the total 778 Liberty Head eagles that NGC has certified in all grades, only 122 are graded PR66 or PR67 by NGC, and of those pieces only 60 are PR66 Ultra Cameo or PR67 Ultra Cameo. It is absolutely true that the years 1898 through 1900 appear to be the most common issues for high-grade proof gold Liberty Head eagles with Cameo or Ultra Cameo contrast, but save for in comparison to some other proof gold dates, they are rare by almost any other conceivable measure.
The surfaces on this piece present a remarkable "white-on-black" cameo contrast, and the piece is evenly balanced from side to side. The rich reddish-gold surfaces are remarkably deep in their mirrored reflectivity, and the devices are heavily frosted. As one would expect from a high-grade proof gold coin from this era, the fields show a rippling, orange-peel effect. An outstanding Ultra Cameo proof ten, this PR66 Ultra Cameo example is one of two pieces certified at NGC, with only two PR67 Ultra Cameo pieces finer (1/08).

This week it was revealed that the NSA is supplying the DEA with data for use in domestic and international drug cases (in other words, NOT for terrorism). The DEA then uses this data to investigate U.S. Citizens. Here's the kicker--since it is OBVIOUS that obtaining this data WITHOUT a warrant is unconstitutional, the DEA must--and has been--blatantly LYING to judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys about where this information is coming from.
A former federal agent who received such tips from the NSA described the process. "You'd be told only, 'Be at a certain truck stop at a certain time and look for a certain vehicle.' And so we'd alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it," the agent said.
After an arrest was made, agents then pretended that their investigation began with the traffic stop, not with the SOD tip, the former agent said. The training document reviewed by Reuters refers to this process as "parallel construction." … "Parallel construction is a law enforcement technique we use every day," one official said. "It's decades old, a bedrock concept."
Corrupt? That's probably the nicest word I can think of at the moment. These guys are a bunch of self-serving, money-grubbing, totalitarian agents of the failed War on Drugs.
Marijuana has 700 medicinal uses the DEA fails to see even one. It cures breast,brain and lung cancer. It seems the government is successfully reducing the population with cigarettes and alcohol. Yet they do nothing to stop this. They are a Complete and total waste of money. God gave us drugs to help us ease our pain and suffering, not to cause more! Ban the DEA now!
Not removing MJ as a schedule 1 drug stinks of corruption. On the same day Canada legalized home cultivation of MJ for medical users. The DEA is only not removing MJ from the schedule 1 list because they don't want their funding from the federal gov to go down. They are corrupt.
What People don't understand is, the DEA works closely with pharmaceutical drug companies. For example, drugs like Marijuana are a schedule 1 drug, which means it has a high potential for abuse, and no medicinal value. These are both false, as its addiction rate is much lower than a legal drug, alcohol, which kills 80,000 people per year in the us ALONE, while marijuana has killed 0 people in the 10,000 years of use and has many medicinal uses for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, lack of appetite, insomnia, and even curing cancer. Now why is it illegal? Some Would say it is because the Dea doesn't think the general public is safe with having the drug. However, the real reason is because they are aware of the medicinal value, and know if it is legalized, that drug companies will loose lots of money. But the sad thing is, we've come to a point in society where the Dea already won. We've been so brain-washed into thinking that weed is harmful, that only 51% of the us wants to legalize weed. I can assure you that a big percentage of the 49% have no problem with alcohol or cigarettes. Even if they didn't use, they might say something along the lines of, well, they the freedom to use if they want to. Ok, so why can't we have the freedom to put a substance, that has been proven to be less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes into our own body if we aren't harming anyone else?
Most of law enforcement in this country is corrupt. Why would the DEA be any different. Sure they may try to take out the violent offenders. But they're is way to many drugs on the streets of this country for law enforcement no to be involved someway , somehow. They are just getting better at covering up they're involvement. How do I know? My brother is a dirty cop. I also worked around dope in the coast guard. Dope is a bigger business than Wal-Mart. Good luck on your debate.
They destroy people's lives. They lock people up for non-violent "crimes" where they are reaped, beaten, and tortured by real criminals. They confiscate property with NO proof of guilt of a crime. DEA leaders constantly lie about their organization; even while under oath at congressional hearings. They manipulate the media with their false claims about the dangers of the drugs they make millions prohibiting from the public...
I'm sick of Americans criticising North Korea while the American government regularly commits the same crimes against their citizens through agencies such as the DEA.
Doctors are afraid to prescribe controlled substances to patients who need these substances to function a normal life. As is in the US Constitution people have the right to drink as they please and eat as they please and take whatever they please. America no longer exists today. The US $ other countries are exactly the same, or even worse, than East Germany was .
The way the system is set up the DEA can't help but being corrupt.The drug lords control the vast majority of the money and in a system where money is king,it is inevitable that certain agents would be more likely to take bribes and not look out for the general interest of the public.
All power structures lean towards corruption at some point - it is inevitable. The DES of course is in the business of "regulating" black market substances for the mafia in Washington DC - the same one that openly supports the heroin trade in Afghanistan. Double standards from the most corrupt entity on the planet.

SNC-Lavalin: Algeria Police Raid On Our Offices Will Help Shed Light On Wrongdoing
MONTREAL - SNC-Lavalin hopes a recent raid of its headquarters in Algeria will shed light on a global corruption scheme that has sullied the Canadian engineering company's reputation.
"Every investigation gets us closer to the truth because clearly the company's been deceived about a lot of things from certain ex-employees," spokeswoman Leslie Quinton said in an interview Monday.
The embattled Montreal-based company said it expected police investigations and searches would flow from it handing information to the RCMP in March 2012.
An internal investigation uncovered $56 million in payments to undisclosed foreign agents. Former chief executive Pierre Duhaime was "relieved of his duties" and was later charged with fraud involving $22.5 million of payments to the construction of a Montreal hospital.
Story continues below slideshow
Pierre Duhaime is the former CEO of Quebec engineering firm SNC-Lavalin. Duhaime resigned in March after an internal investigation revealed some $56 million in questionable payments. He was arrested on Nov. 28, 2012. Duhaime served as an executive vice president at SNC Lavalin from 2003-2009 and CEO from 2009-2012. According to the Financial Post, Duhaime received $5 million in severance when he left. Photo: Graham Hughes/CP
SNC-Lavalin, one of Canada's largest engineering firms, has been under scrutiny for various corruption charges. A report stated that employees from the company tried to bribe Bangladeshi officials. The company also faces a money-laundering probe from the Swiss authorities.
SNC-Lavalin is one of the largest engineering firms in the world. In Canada they have worked on such well-known projects as Highway 407 in the GTA, the Montreal subway system and Calgary and Vancouver's light-rail systems.
The company came under fire for its work in Libya. A former SNC-Lavalin executive was accused of funneling cash to the Gaddafi family. The Globe and Mail did an in-depth look at the company's long relationship with Libya. In a 2011 interview with Macleans magazine, Duhaime defended the company's work with the despotic regime including building a prison.
Duhaime spoke out in 2011 against a public inquiry into corruption in Quebec's construction sector. "What is surprising is that the report touches so many areas with so few facts. It surprised me to see a report with so little substance but so many allusions," he said to the Canadian Club in Montreal in September, 2011. Photo: CP Files
"It wasn't unexpected that authorities would take this to the next level," Quinton said Monday.
"What we did not know at the time is just how deep the deception went in some cases."
SNC-Lavalin (TSX:SNC) confirmed that authorities searched its Algerian headquarters on May 27.
Quinton said police have not provided the company with any details of its search.
Algerian media say police are investigating an $825-million contract SNC-Lavalin won in 2005 to build the Hadjret Ennous power plant near Algiers.
They carted away computers, files and other material after locking down the building for eight hours.
It was the third raid of SNC-Lavalin offices and the first outside of Canada.
The RCMP previously raided company offices in Oakville, Ont., related to alleged bribes in Bangladesh and its headquarters in Montreal at the request of Swiss authorities.
The Algerian investigation flows from information gathered by the Swiss examining former SNC vice-president Riadh Ben Aissa, who has been jailed for more than a year without formal charges.
They linked Ben Aissa to Algerian consultant Farid Bedjaoui, who allegedly transferred about $200 million to Algerian leaders to help several firms win contracts with the country's state-run petroleum company Sonatrach.
Bedjaoui was educated at Montreal's HEC business school and is the nephew of former Algerian foreign affairs minister Mohammed Bedjaoui.
Quinton said SNC-Lavalin had no direct relationship with him, but later learned that work was subcontracted to his companies.
"We did not know that Bedjaoui had any business interests with us until the Swiss police revealed their findings."
Senior SNC management is in touch with the Algerian government "on an almost daily basis," Quinton added.
It sent an open letter to Algerian media in April saying it was co-operating with police and hoped that those who committed illegal acts are brought to justice.
The company said it was committed to turn the page on this unfortunate chapter in its 102-year history.
In the letter signed by new CEO Robert Card and senior vice-president Charles Chebl, SNC-Lavalin said its "commitment to Algeria remains constant."
SNC-Lavalin has built its presence in Algeria over more than 40 years and secured billions of dollars worth of projects.
Its latest contract worth $1.2 billion was in 2009, to design and build natural gas process facilities in the Sahara desert with Sonatrach.
Subsidiary SNC-Lavalin Inc. and more than 100 affiliates have been barred from bidding on World Bank Group-financed projects for 10 years following allegations of bribery involving a bridge contract in Bangladesh.
SNC-Lavalin's acceptance of the bidding ban will also exclude it from work with Canadian International Development Agency and several other global development agencies.
On the day of the Algerian raid, SNC-Lavalin announced a three-month "amnesty" to employees willing to report on corruption.
The said it won't seek damages or unilaterally fire employees who voluntarily report violations of its code of ethics.
The amnesty won't cover executives in SNC's office of the president, its management committee groups or anyone who directly profited from a violation.

A quiet apartment in the Rehavia neighborhood not too far from the center.
About 20 minutes walk. The host is very friendly. We want to come back.
Noam is a perfect host
His flat is very well located in the center of Jerusalem, not far from the old city nor the most interesting places to visit. I recommend you to rent his flat
A very nice place to stay: 15min walking distance from Old city (Jaffa gate), but at the same time nice and quiet residential area. We were 3 guests staying in the apartment and it was comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean. We did not use kitchen, but we saw all standard appliances and utensils to prepare dishes. As opposed to many other flats we looked at, this one has a parking for a car which is extremely useful in Jerusalem. Noam was very kind and helpful; we were able to check in early and leave bags after check out until afternoon. We definitely recommend this place and would stay there again should we come to Jerusalem.

Very well located apartment, close to the old city. Noam was very helpful. We had a privacy in a quiet place. I really recommend to rent it.
Noam has been a perfect host
His flat is very well located in the center of Jerusalem, not far from the old city nor the most interesting places to visit.
I recommend you to rent his flat, that was clean, quiet and perfectly located
Noam's Central Apartment + garden & Wi-Fi (2) was perfect for our vacation in Jerusalem. Centrally located, a short distance on foot to the old city, food shops near by. A small terrace/garden which was ideal for breakfast and morning coffee and to ralax on in the evening. The garden should, however, be tidyed up a little bit.
Noam is fast and efficient in replying and providing his flat´s keys.
The flat is in a nice district in a walking distance from the Old Town, two minutes from a food shop and five minutes from the Azza Road with shops, local restaurants, a bank and a money changer (who is better than the opposite bank).
There is a sufficiently equiped kitchen there.
However, an overall clean-up and some small repairs would certainly make the stay there more pleasant.
Perfect location, very convenient flat and perfect host.
Apartment very comfortable and roomy for mother and son stay. Location good too, close to supermarket, restaurants and 10 mins walk to central parts, e.g. Jaffa Road and 15mins to Old City. Would recommend, only gripe would be shower, although good, facilities to dry yourself not so good. However, small thing.

text: Florida changed the course of its season with a thrilling goal-line stand last week at LSU and can add some more highlights to the story with a visit to rival Florida State on Saturday night. The visiting Gators, who were without several regulars on defense, stopped the Tigers inside the 1-yard line on the final play for a 16-10 win to clinch a spot in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 3 against Alabama."We said, 'It's us against the world,'" Florida quarterback Austin Appleby told reporters. "We're all we got and we're all we need." The 13th-ranked Gators will have the same mindset in Tallahassee as they attempt to snap a three-game losing streak against the Seminoles and beat them for just the second time in seven meetings. No. 14 Florida State won't be playing the ACC Championship game, but a victory over Florida could improve its standing when the bowl bids are handed out in early December. Productive freshman quarterback Deondre Francois and dazzling junior running back Dalvin Cook will test a Gators' defense that has allowed 14 or fewer points in eight of 10 games.TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Florida State --7ABOUT FLORIDA (8-2): Appleby, who is 3-1 as a starter replacing injured Luke Del Rio, has completed 61.8 percent of his passes and was solid the past two games with 345 yards and three touchdown strikes. Sophomore Jordan Scarlett has been a key for the Gators' offense, rushing for at least 93 yards in four of the last five games and pushing his season total to 725 with six TDs. Florida will likely be without important starters on defense again, including linebackers Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Alex Anzalone (arm), and safety Marcus Maye (arm) – the team's top three tacklers.ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (8-3): The Seminoles have been better defensively as the season has gone on, allowing 41 points combined in three consecutive victories, and Cook has rushed for at least 100 yards in seven of the last eight games to become the school's all-time leading rusher. "This guy is the most explosive player in college football," Florida coach Jim McElwain told reporters. ". … He's going to play at the next level for a long time." Francois needs 10 yards passing to reach 3,000 and has completed 60.8 percent of his passes with 17 touchdown strikes and just five interceptions.EXTRA POINTS1. Cook, who has accumulated 4,166 career rushing yards, is 436 shy of Ted Brown's ACC record. 2. Florida OL Martez Ivey (leg) is doubtful for Saturday against a Florida State defense that leads the nation with 41 sacks. 3. The Seminoles are 8-1 against SEC teams since coach Jimbo Fisher took over – 5-1 versus the Gators.PREDICTION: Florida State 27, Florida 14

Dylan makes me laugh so much! He's almost 2 years old but he's still such a puppy, he loves playing and gets so excited when he meets new people or we get home. He races to the door, and as soon as the door is opened he runs back into the kitchen or living room, grabs one of his toys or a blanket and then runs to the person and 'shows' it to them. It's so funny.
What inspired me to write this blog post is Dylan's 'play time'...quite often in the afternoons after his after lunchtime nap he'll entertain himself by playing with his toys or blankets (it's very funny when he gets himself all wrapped up and stuck in them). This afternoon he decided he was going to play with his tennis ball...all of a sudden while I was watching Border Security UK I see a tennis ball go flying and Dylan jumping in the air and rolling around on the floor with it. It was so funny I just had to get some photos. Next time I'll try and get a video so you can see the full beauty of my puppy dog's play time.
Enjoy :)

|Gomez-landesa, Enrique
|Rango, Albert - Al
Submitted to: Hydrological Processes
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/30/2001
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Very little conventional information exists on snow resources in the Spanish Pyrenees although these mountains provide significant snowmelt runoff for water supplies and power generation. A new source of data and sophisticated analysis techniques were necessary to generate timely runoff predictions to the power companies to assist in their systematic planning. A subpixel analysis technique was developed to allow application of the satellite data to very small basins, and the resulting snow cover data were fed into the Snowmelt Runoff Model for forecasting of flows on 42 basins. The forecasts permitted the power companies to make more logical decisions in their seasonal planning. The results are applicable to similar applications in the U.S. including planning for irrigation water supplies.
Technical Abstract: The Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) is being used to simulate and forecast the daily discharge of several basins in the Spanish Pyrenees. These results are being used by hydropower companies of Spain for improved management of water resources. We describe a method for snow mapping using data fro the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) instrument on board NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) polar orbiting satellite and a procedure to retrospectively estimate the accumulated snow water equivalent volume with the SRM model. A linear combination of NOAA channels 1 and 2 is used to obtain a snow cover image in which the product is the percent of the snow covered area in each pixel. Real-time snowmelt forecasts are being carried out with the SRM model using snow covered area as an input. Even in basins with a total absence of historical discharge and meteorological data, the SRM model provides an estimation of the daily snowmelt discharge. Integrating the forecasted streamflow over the recession streamflow, the snowmelt volume is obtained as a function of time. This function converges asymptotically to the net stored volume of water equivalent of the snowpack. Plotting this integral as a function of time, it is possible to estimate for each basin the already melted snow water equivalent (SWE) and the SWE remaining in storage, at any moment of the snowmelt season.

descriptionThe Road from Memphis starts with a young Booker T.

It ends with Booker and The Roots roaring through a set of both timeless and contemporary originals (and propulsive covers of Gnarls Barkley's Crazy and Lauren Hill's Everything Is Everything). Along for the ride are vocalists Matt Berninger of the National, Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket, Sharon Jones, Lou Reed, and Booker himself, telling the history of how the funk/soul sound that Booker helped invent spiraled out from Memphis, touching The Roots hometown of Philadelphia, New York (where engineer Gabe Roth has been recreating classic soul sonics for everyone from Sharon Jones to Amy Winehouse), and Detroit. Detroit as in Dennis Coffey, legendary Motown session guitarist who introduced driving rock funk rhythm to hits like Cloud Nine and Ball of Confusion by the Temptations, and brings his Detroit grit to these tracks. The Road from Memphis is classic Memphis soul, and classic Booker in the tradition of Green Onions, but beyond that it is the story of a sound, and how Booker, working with the inheritors of his sound, is keeping a tradition alive.

Call me fickle or easily bored, but I'm looking forward to the day when I'm asked to recommend a cheap, no-nonsense, miniscule MP3 player and I can't instantly recommend the Sansa Clip. Frankly, I'm tired of saying it. Why can't someone - even Sandisk - come along and kick it off its bargain-basement pedestal? Sadly, with no new models in Creative's range of late and only the odd damp squib from Sony and Samsung, I'm beginning to despair of such a thing happening.
Of course, we now have Apple's latest and most controversial Shuffle (to be reviewed as soon as Apple gets us one), but my brightest new hope is the Philips GoGear SA2940, cheerfully dubbed the 'Spark'. This is the successor to the GoGear SA2840, which at the time we believed was a fine alternative to the Clip if you wanted more capacity. These days, of course, you can just get a Clip with more flash memory, but luckily Philips hasn't been caught sitting with its thumb up its collective posterior; the SA2940 addresses some of the complaints we had about its predecessor, and adds a handful of new features to boot.
Physically, the unit is much the same; a simple, compact, square box approximately 4.5cm on either side and around 1cm thick, with a plastic but reasonably robust feel. The whole design is dominated by a 1.5in, 128x128 pixel OLED screen, and this cleverly doubles as a display and control pad, tilting and clicking in four directions to handle all the major navigation controls. As a rule, clicking up and down cycles through the available items or options, clicking right selects, plays or pauses and clicking left takes you back a step.
Combined with a no-frills, no-fuss, text-based interface, it makes the GoGear Spark one of the easiest small players to handle, and the only physical buttons are for volume and power/hold. Memory-key sized players like the Samsung YP-U4 or Sony NWZ-B133 might be smaller, but the Spark wins on usability, and it's great to see that many of the little features you wish were supported by other players - on-the-fly playlist additions, the ability to change sound settings from within a song - are present and correct.
It's a kind of offtopic, but--
I'm looking for a not expensive, preferably desktop mp3 player, that'd feature a screen and would be VERY EASY to navigate through folders. Thing is, I want to make a gift for my beloved granny who.. is not that young anymore, and I had difficulties teaching her how to set up the clock on our microwave. I want her to listen to audiobooks, which I believe would be a pleasure for her. But all the players I've seen in the local shops are tiny, battery-powered and stuffed with unneeded features. What I want is simple menus, large buttons and at least 2GB of storage. I'd be very glad to see your recommendations, dear TR.
You could consider the Sony E-Series 2GB or 4GB models that feature a decent 2 in screen, one of the easiest navigation systems and large text and menu icons. You could check out the interface through a video available on anythingbutipod.com (for A829, but interface is common).
I'm not sure if they support audible format though.
Both the players are available at a great prices on advancedmp3players.co.uk
It's nice to know the player is 4.5cm long and 1cm deep, but perhaps you could also mention how much memory it has?
@ piesforyou,
4GB (Google)
is it available internationally? I'd like to buy it but I can't seem to find where in Mexico, or USA
Although this device plays audiobooks it's worth noting that it does not support bookmarks. A very frustrating discovery after I purchased the BBC dramatised adaptation of the Lord of the Rings - some 13 hours of audio without a single opportunity to save the page I am on. Fortunately I have a TomTom which does support bookmarking so I can listen to this book in the car.
I'm new to MP3 players etc so this might be an obvious question, which is probably why it's not answered in the reviews. I'm buying one specifically to download podcasts from the BBC, and other sites that specify iTunes iPod etc. This one looks well priced and easy to use, but will I be able to download these podcasts? Thanks

Just an ordinary day
Dear Diary,
I'm going to stop writing dates in you, in case we get raided by the police and this can be used to track me. It sounds a bit over the top, but it will have to do.
I absolutely love this place! We get the hot water and electricity for free! Charlie and I stayed up late tonight watching movies snuggled up on the couch.
During the day he showed me round the town and helped me find a job. I now work at this beauty place where they have nails, hair, tan, all that sort of stuff. The only thing is, we have to have our stuff done when we get there every morning. You see, we are the biggest advert!
I cannot wait!
Apart from that, today was just one of those ordinary ones.
Oh well.
