The Discovery of the Burial Chamber Repository
In 1979, an archaeological team under the auspices of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv and led by Gabriel Barkay, Department of Land of Israel Studies with Bar Han University, uncovered a series of nine caves in the "hillside west of the Old City of Jerusalem along the Western slope of the Valley of Hinnom, or Gay ben Hinnom in Hebrew", a.k.a., Gehenna. An exploration of these caves revealed that they were used as burial sites for the Jewish people of Jerusalem dating back to at least as early as the Iron Age (which can date back as far as the tenth century B.C.)
The cave designated "Cave 24" was an especially important find. It consisted of a central chamber with a series of branches from the central hall into other smaller burial chambers. These burial chambers had shelves where the bodies of the deceased together with other artifacts (such as burial gifts, vases or jewels) were placed immediately after death. The deceased would then lie on these shelfs until they decomposed. These burial chambers also had a repository beneath the main shelf where the bones and other artifacts would later be placed. According to the report entitled "The Amulets from Ketef Hinnom: A New Edition and Evaluation" by Gabriel Barkay, Andrew G. Vaughn, Marilyn J. Lundbert and Brucek Zuckerman, published in the Bulletin of American Schools of Oriental Research, May 2004:
When the bodies were fully decomposed, the bones would be removed together with the burial gifts and placed in the repository. After several generations, the deposits would build up and later deposits would be made either on top of the ealier deposits or closer toward the entrance of the repository. Periodically, as the entrance tot he chamber would become clogged, eposits were shoved to the back and flattened out.
Most of the burial chambers and their repositories were empty. However, one of the repositories beside a burial chamber (denominated Chamber 25) was surprisingly not empty. According to Thomas L. Friedman, The New York Times [Sun-Sentinel Edition](1986, August 29) "Jerusalem Tomb Discoveries Answer Historical Questions":
When Barkay began to excavate the site in 1979, he had modest hopes. "After 120 years of great archeologists digging in Jerusalem, you don't expect to find very much," he said. "We were totally unprepared for what we discovered."
What he and his students discovered, along an ancient road from King David's birthplace in Bethlehem to his city, the City of David, in Jerusalem, was a series of nine burial caves. In the caves were hewn stone benches, upon which generations of Jerusalemites, beginning in the late First Temple Period, placed their dead, along with jewels and other offerings. Under one of the cave's burial benches, however, Barkay found a large, undisturbed repository.
The repository, it turned out, was the only intact burial repository found in Jerusalem in modern times. It had escaped looters because the roof had collapsed and buried everything inside for more than two thousand years.
The Two Silver Scrolls
Among the artifacts found in the caves were two very small silver artifacts that are referenced in the literature as "amulets", "scrolls" or "plaques". When found, these scrolls (denominated Ketef Hinnom I and Ketef Hinnom II) were covered in dirt and corrosion and hadn't been opened in at least 2,000 years. But it was clear that ancient Hebrew lettering had been etched into the silver. Since the two scolls were very small (Ketef Hinnom I being only 97 mm x 27 mm [approx. 4 in. x 1 in.] long, and Ketef Hinnom II being only 11 mm x 39.2 mm [approx. 0.4 in x 1.5 in.] long), the writing was very small and difficult to read. There was also the additional problem of opening the scrolls without destroying them. According to Friedman:
The Israel Museum first consulted experts in England and Germany who were specialists in handling such ancient objects, "but they took one look at them and threw up their hands," said [Michal Dayagi-Mendels, curator of the First Temple period at the Israel Museum]. In 1983, Joseph Shenhav, the director of the Israel Museum laboratory, came up with a homemade solution.
First, he rinsed the amulets clean in a solution of alkaline salt and formic acid. Then the outer layer of each roll was coated with acrylic glue, which, when it dried, was both transparent and elastic. Finally, over a period of several months, the scrolls were unfurled a tiny fraction each day to reveal their contents.
Shortly after the scrolls were opened, Yaakov Meshorer, an expert on small coins at the Israel Museum, made out the Hebrew name of God - - in the form of the tetragrammaton YHWH, or Jehovah -- etched into the silver. This alone was a major discovery, since it marked the first time ever that an archeological object had been found in Jerusalem with the Lord's name written in Hebrew on it.
"We knew there were more letters on them," said Barkay, "but they were so faint, and there were so many cracks and little fragments missing, we were afraid that they would be impossible to make out."
Ultimately, the scrolls were partially deciphered, and the words that were found on the scrolls were stunning: both scrolls were inscribed with what is known as the Priestly Benediction from Numbers 16: 24-26: "May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and grant you peace." (While the wording of the two inscriptions was not the full text of the Priestly Benediction, consider the size of the two scrolls and the number of words that appear in just this portion of the Inscription and you have an idea of the very small size of the Hebrew inscriptions.)
A Further Deciphering of the Language Etched into the Scrolls
While portions of the inscriptions could be read, the accuracy of the interpretation remained somewhat questionable due to the difficulty in reading the various Hebrew letters. However, in 1994, the scrolls were photographed by Dr. Bruce Zuckerman of the University of Southern California School of Religion using advanced photographic techniques to bring out the faded lettering. According to "Solving a Riddle Written in Silver" by John Noble Wilford:
Working with scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dr. Zuckerman's group used advanced infrared imagining systems enhanced by electronic cameras and computer image-processing technology to draw out previously invisible writing on a fragment of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The researchers also pioneered electronic techniques for reproducing missing pieces of letters on documents. By examining similar letters elsewhere in the text, they were able to recognize half of a letter and reconstruct the rest of it in a scribe's own peculiar style.
* * *
As the researchers said in their magazine article, the only reasonably clear aspect of the inscriptions was the Priestly Benediction. Other lines preceding or following the prayer "could barely be seen."
To get higher-definition photographs of the inscriptions, Ken Zuckerman applied an old photographer's technique called "light painting," brought up to date by the use of fiber-optic technology. He used a hand-held light in an otherwise dark room to illuminate a spot on the artifact during a time exposure. In addition, he photographed the artifact at different angles, which made the scratched letters shine in stark relief.
The next step was to convert the pictures to digital form, making possible computer processing that brought out "the subtleties of the surface almost at the micron level." This analysis was particularly successful in joining a partial letter stroke on one side of a crack with the rest of the stroke on the other side. It also enabled the researchers to restore fragments of letters to full legibility by matching them with clear letters from elsewhere in the text.
In this way, the researchers filled in more of the letters and words of the benediction itself and for the first time deciphered meaningful words and phrases in the lines preceding the benediction.
Ultimately, the words became clear. "The Amulets from Ketef Hinnom: A New Edition and Evaluation", supra, consists of a report about the two scrolls after this inspection and reveals that even with the high-tech imagery, the first part of the two scrolls remain very difficult to read. Still, much of the language of the scrolls has been deciphered to read as follows:
Ketef Hinnom I: "YHW. . . the grea[t . . . who keeps] the covenant and [G]raciousness toward those who love [him] and alt: those who love [hi]m;) tohose who keep [his commandments . . . . . .] the Eternal? [. . . ]. [the?} blessing more than any [sna]re and more than evil. For redemption is in him. For YHWH is our restorer [and] rock. May YHWH bles[s] you and [may he] keep you. [May] YHWH make [his face] shine . . . ."
Ketef Hinnom II: [For PN, 9the son/daughter of) xxxx]h/hu. May h[e]/sh[e] be blessed by Yahweh, the warrior [or:helper] and and the rebuker of [E]vil; MayYahweh bless you, keep you. May Yahweh make his face shine upon you and grant you p[ea]ce.
The report by Dr. Barkay, et al., makes the case based on archaeology, palaeography and orthography that the two scrolls should be dated from the late seventh century or early sixth century B.C. -- in other words, around the time of King Josiah or his immediate followers and before the exile into Babylon. (In fact, there does not seem to be any strong reason to date them even as late as the late seventh century B.C. based upon the resources that I have read thus far. For purposes of this essay, however, I will accept the dating of the artifacts to that period while reserving the right to investigate whether they may not be even older.)
So what's the Point?
The discovery of these burial caves and the two ancient scrolls in them suggest two skeptical positions on the history of Israel are likely wrong.
A. The Size of Pre-Exile Jerusalem
Prior to the discovery of Ketef Hinnom, and continuing through today, there has been a great dispute over the size of Jerusalem prior to the exile in Babylon. Some scholars, such as Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman in their book The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts have argued that the ancient city of David was no more than 1,000 inhabitants. According to "Updating some Bible stories Archeological finds yield new historical revelations; [Final Edition]", Henry Aubin, The Gazette. Montreal, Que.: Mar 3, 2001. pg. J.4, Finkelstein and Silberman . . .
. . . take issue, for example, with the traditional idea of the Golden Age - that period starting around 1000 BC when King David and his son and successor, King Solomon, would have ruled over a vast empire stretching at one point from Gaza to the Euphrates. Excavations, say the authors, show that they and their successors presided over a "marginal, isolated, rural region, with no signs of great wealth and centralized administration." The capital, Jerusalem, was then only a "modest highland town;" 200 years later, its population was still at about 1,000.
However, there is a problem with this idea. The caves located by Barkay were located well outside of what had previously been considered the outer limits of the old city of First Temple Jerusalem. Friedman, supra, makes note that the location of the tombs -- given the Jewish culture's way of dealing with their dead -- is inconsistent with the vision of a "modest highland town."
One of the most important aspects of the burial repository was its location. Jews did not bury their dead inside the city walls, but always just outside. Because this burial ground was found on the western slope of the Valley of Hinnom, the walls of First Temple Jerusalem must have extended much farther to the west -- almost four times farther -- than previously thought by scholars on the basis of excavations of the City of David. The City of David, which comprises the Temple Mount and a narrow strip of ancient homes, constituted the only previous substantial ruins of ancient Jerusalem.
* * *
"Secondly, for years Bible scholars -- divided between the `maximalists' and the `minimalists' -- have been arguing whether Jerusalem was really a grand city, or just a forgotten little town whose reputation was built up through the ages. Each side would point to different biblical passages to buttress its case.
"Now we know that it was a major city," [Barkay] said. "This is critical also because a city that was the scene of the growth of monotheism and classical prophecy, a city said to be the only place you could worship God, had to have this importance reflected in its physical size."
When coupled with the evidence that the palace of David has been found to the North of what was believed to be the much smaller ancient city, certainly suggests that the archaeological evidence is growing that Jerusalem was a much larger city than was previously anticipated even as far back as the reign of King David himself.
B. The Existence and Circulation of the Torah prior to the Exile.
The scrolls themselves with their apparent quoting from the Book of Numbers makes a serious dent in the idea advocated by scholars such as Donald Harman Akenson in his book Surpassing Wonder: The Invention of the Bible and the Talmuds, where he posits that the first eleven books of the Old Testament were written during the Babylonian exile. As noted in "New theories about origins of biblical material; [Final Edition]", Henry Aubin, Times - Colonist. Victoria, B.C.: Mar 30, 2001. pg. C.6.FRO:
Some other experts contend that most of the Bible was written in Babylon during the exile -- some time around 550 BC.
Among these scholars is Donald Akenson, of Queen's University, whose 1998 book Surpassing Wonder suggests that no religious revival to speak of took place under Josiah and that the real crucible of monotheism and biblical composition was the exile in Babylon. Fearing that scattered Hebrew society might vanish, he theorizes, an anonymous genius wrote most of the Hebrew Bible's first 11 books. This great thinker, often called "Second Isaiah," would have used oral tradition and his own imagination to create for his people a distinctive sense of historical and religious identity.
As noted by Friedman, supra:
The presence of such a verse on an amulet from around 600 B.C. also provides the first concrete evidence that at least part of what became the Hebrew Bible was written -- and was widely known -- during the late First Temple period.
The discovery of these caves and the two scrolls seems to have met with very little fanfare. Certainly, the publication of the report of the reading and translation of the scrolls by Barkay, Vaughn, Lundberg and Zuckerman seem to have had little impact or circulation in the major media. I watch for stories like these, and I never would have found the report if it had not been mentioned as an aside in another essay I was reading.
Yet, it seems as if these discoveries should make a dent in some of the more skeptical theories about the size of pre-exile Jerusalem and the existence and circulation of the Torah prior to the exile. Given that the earliest writings of the Hebrews were apparently preserved only on documents and were not incised into buildings as was the habit of other cultures like the Egyptians, I wouldn't expect to find many (if any) additional writings in the future. Thus, it seems as if it may be impossible to determine whether the history of the Hebrews as described in the Bible is accurate or whether the present belief by an apparent consensus of scholars that the Hebrew people never went to Egypt or had an Exodus is accurate. But given that most discoveries seem to refute the skeptical views, I think that Ketef Hinnom is, as Dr. Barkay said, "a discovery of utmost importance".
Addendum: The CBS Evening News apparently did a short piece on the Ketef Hinnom scrolls, and can be seen in its 2 minute, 10 second entirety on the CBS News Website, here.

Someone here on WF was asking about aggressive looking tires. Do these qualify?
The one on the hummer.. could you see the amount of mud those would get caked with.. my lord..

I need those tires and rims on the black rubicon!!!
Actually, they might be great for rock crawling. They'd mold around the rocks, and you'd never get a flat.

Can you explain how this card trick works?
Take any whole number between 1 and 999, add the squares of the
digits to get a new number. Make some conjectures about what
happens in general.
A combination mechanism for a safe comprises thirty-two tumblers
numbered from one to thirty-two in such a way that the numbers in
each wheel total 132... Could you open the safe?
You will need a calendar for this problem; you can print one off here.
Choose any three by three square of dates on a calendar page.
Add the numbers in the four corners.
Try a few examples. What do you notice?
Can you explain why this happens?
Now try adding the numbers in each row, column and diagonal that passes through the centre number.
What do you notice?
Can you explain your results this time?
Circle any number on the top row and put a line through the other numbers that are in the same row and column as your circled number.
Repeat this for one of the remaining numbers in the second row.
You should now have just one number left on the bottom row; circle it.
Here is an example:
Find the total for the three numbers circled. What do you notice?
What if you choose different numbers to circle?
What if you choose a different three by three square?
Can you explain your findings?
How would your results change if you chose a 4 by 4 square?
What would happen if you chose a rectangle rather than a square?

I couldn't find other threads on this topic.
I'm 6'3" and I own an REI halfdome 2 & a fly creek UL2.
Both are too short when it rains, because I end up touching the ends of the tent and my bag gets wet.
I would like my next tent to be a tarp tent (probably a Contrail).
The problem is that 84" is not going to cut it.
What do other people do? Does Henry customize the tarp tents? What are my options?
Thanks in advance.Oct 28, 2012 at 11:38 am #1924889

84" is actually plenty if it is all useable. It isn't in most all tents. I had a contrail at one time and I remember it being plenty big inside. I have a gossamer gear spinnshelter with a yama gear(alpinlite) bug tent 1.5 and it has plenty of room. The bug tent is only 84" long but the walls are completly vertical so u get a "full" 84".Oct 28, 2012 at 5:35 pm #1924974

The LHG solong 6 will accommodate someone 6'8" or even a little taller! Awesome tent with tons of room, $295 for the sil version. I have one in cuben.

Hilleberg Unna or Soulo. I own the Unna, the best solo tent I've ever used. Ample room for this 6'-4" camper.
MontBell Thunder Dome 2 – A two person tent at just over four pounds. Great all-around tent.
Stephenson's Warmlite 2R – 3 pounds for a spacious two person tent
The latter two are 2-man tents, which I find about right for a claustrophobic big guy. The Hilleberg Unna is the only solo shelter that I think is adequate for one big person.Oct 28, 2012 at 11:14 pm #1925022

I have an REI Quarter Dome 2+ that fits myself and my LW (long and wide) Exped air mat, along with my pack at the feet of the air mat, without issue. I should mention that I'm 6'4" so I feel your gigantic pain. I also manage to squeeze in my dog when it's just he and I versus myself and my girlfriend.
Actually come to think of it, the dog manages to squeeze into the tent even with her, I, and our two air mats. D*mn that dog is spoiled.Oct 29, 2012 at 7:22 am #1925062

I should add that my only complaint (other than that it isn't <1 pound) with my Quarter Dome 2+ is that by comparison to the Half Dome 2+ that I returned in favor of the Quarter, is that the doors on the Half were a lot easier to get in and out of as a big guy. The problem with the tear-drop shaped doors that make entry/exit tough is that half of the available space falls under the vestibule and the remaining half doesn't utilize the corner.
Oh and I should also point out that the Half Dome 2+ is about 4" longer than the Quarter. Headroom at the end (while sleeping) felt about the same or a little less than the Quarter Dome, but foot-room was obviously better for the gear/dog. I ended up trading up to the Quarter Dome because the fly drained onto the mesh of the door when you opened the vestibule, and because the Quarter is lighter.Oct 30, 2012 at 5:36 am #1925304

I am 6'4" and was recommended the Rainbow by Franco the Australia guy who distributes for TarPtent(?). Man I have enough room in that thing to sit up properly, get changed, move around, and use my backpack as a pillow above me no probs at all. If you got stuck in bad weather you could cook and even share the shelter with someone to pass the time better. I LOVE the shelter!!! I have never experienced moisture build up in any of my previous shelters and I must say it was a leap of faith buying a single skin shelter having to worry about the possibility of dew dripping on me. This Shelter is big inside and very very well ventilated I doubt condensation will be an issue in the realms I want to use it in. Quality is very good. Can be free standing with a couple sticks or walking poles. I can see how the structure would be strong enough with snow loading if it were to snow. Love it.Oct 30, 2012 at 3:25 pm #1925441

As Bradford mentioned the GG Spinnshelter would be long enough and with a long bugnet inner could fit the bill.
I am 6' and find I have more than a foot of length to spare.
I see that the Spinshelter isn't being offerred on the GG site anymore.
The MLD Patrol is very similar, except the type of front beak and is almost the same length. Available in silnylon and two different types of cuben.
Many companies will make bug inner nets that will fit you and these shelters.

In early 2012 data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) exposed the high unemployment rate of young black men and other black and minority ethnic (BME) groups. Some young BME groups are still three times more likely to be unemployed than their white counterparts.
Racial discrimination may be shocking to middle class white society, but it is of no revelation to those who live with it every day. They already know that estate agents, employers and businesses won't be calling them back. Nearly 50 years after the first Race Relations Act, 30% of BME people still experience outright racial discrimination. And another 50 years will go by with little progress if we don't strive for change.
For the most part, equality policies are there to look good, relegated to the annual fun day, seminar or photo call. Contractors that win millions from housing organisations each year get away with distributing a few sweets and pens in lieu of social responsibility and housing organisations congratulate themselves on a job well done.
If housing organisations and their contractors are serious about helping young BME people into work, they must employ applied research specifically focused on how to achieve this.
The recommendations may not be new, but they are grounded in practice and detailed studies.
Provide opportunities for employment, education and training in areas where BME groups live.
In Birmingham, for example, not one of the major companies or housing organisations has its head office in the heavily BME-populated area of Handsworth.
Be bold, adventurous and go out of your way to find and contract more work to local small businesses.
Small businesses are often run by or support BME communities.
Engage and employ BME groups in line with area statistics.
And insist that primary and secondary contractors do the same.
Provide more opportunities for pre-apprenticeships.
Introducing young people to work at an earlier age, even while they are still studying, can give them a huge advantage when it comes to entering the labour market for the first time.
Support and encourage BME groups with culturally sensitive mentoring and coaching.
Ensure these courses are delivered by trained and experienced people who can help to retain BME groups on training schemes and in the workplace.
Advertise openly.
Six-in-10 work opportunities are not advertised, cementing the old status quo.

2008 Pontiac G8 GT: Fourth of July at San Diego's Petco Park
July 06, 2009
Nothing's more American than baseball, right? So two friends and I drove to San Diego's Petco Park in our long-term 2008 Pontiac G8 GT on Saturday to watch the Padres and Dodgers. Two of us are Dodger fans. The third friend bought our tickets in Field section 125, just left of the right-field foul pole, where he hoped Adrian Gonzalez would homer. It didn't happen. But the Padres did of course win 7-4.
One thing we all agreed on was that the G8 was a very comfortable and likable car for the nearly 300-mile trip. The only 6-footer in our group sat in back the whole time and said he had plenty of room. He also liked the adjustable rear air-conditioning vents.
I've always liked the G8's front seats (the driver seat kept me content on a 7-hour drive from the Napa Valley), and on this trip, my front passenger offered a similar review. But he criticized the G8's brittle dash plastic, which seems out of character with the otherwise decent cabin materials. The harsh afternoon light was unforgiving, highlighting all the scuff marks in a test car that has been driven by 20-odd editors. (Go ahead, scold us again.)
We reached consensus on ride quality: It's good. The G8 is compliant enough that both friends fell asleep on the ride back, yet it's controlled over most bumps and joints. I wish the steering had a little more weight to it on-center, though.
The cabin is fairly quiet on the highway. Well, at least it is until you execute a full-throttle passing maneuver and the big Pontiac finally develops an exhaust note. I averaged 22 mpg.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Afton W. Smith Jr. died peacefully on Tuesday morning, April 21, 2015, at Dosher Memorial Hospital, Southport. He was 87.
Mr. Smith was born in Southport on May 10, 1927, the son of the late Afton Wescott Smith Sr. and Georgia Carrier Smith. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Evelyn Smith Dosher and Eula Mae Wilmoth.
Afton is survived by his wife of 63 years, Edythe Purvis Smith, of the home; son, Raymond Wescott Smith and granddaughter, Rachel Nicole Smith, of Oak Island; first cousin, Ozen W. (Son) Carrier, of Southport; nieces, Eula Mae Wilmoth Franck and Edie Wilmoth Crocker, both of Southport; nephew, Joseph Wayne Wilmoth, of Southport; a sister-in-law, Ethel Purvis, of Southport; brother-in-law, Albert C. Purvis (Virginia) and their family, of Georgia; and many great- and great-great-nieces and nephews.
Afton was a native of Southport and proud of his heritage. Except for his military service and a few short-term jobs, he considered himself blessed to spend the majority of his life in camaraderie with his family and friends. He was quick to welcome newcomers to this place he was proud to call home and to share with them his memories and the local history of his boyhood in Southport and Long Beach.
He attended Southport Baptist Church from infancy until death severed his earthly relation. On Aug. 19, 1945, while on leave from the U.S. Navy, he was baptized into the fellowship of Southport Baptist Church and as a member served in many, many capacities, officially and voluntarily. He exemplified his belief and strong faith and witnessed the plan of redemption, salvation and sanctification to all he met. He was pleased to have received the honor of deacon emeritus for his years of service on the Board of Deacons.
He was a U.S. Navy veteran of WWII, enlisting as soon as he was of age, and served most his enlisted time in the Pacific before receiving an honorable discharge in 1946. He was on staff with the U.S. Army Civilian Service in the Equipment Division of Military Ocean Terminal Operation, Sunny Point, when he retired in June 1987 after working at the site since it was under construction more than 50 years ago.
He was a 51-year member and a past master of Pythagoras Masonic Lodge No. 249. He was a member and past patron of Goldenrod Chapter No. 142 Order of the Eastern Star in Wilmington.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 24, 2015, at Peacock – Newnam & White Funeral Service, 1411 N. Howe St., Southport and at other times at the home. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 25, 2015, at Southport Baptist Church. Following the service burial will be held at Northwood Cemetery.
Afton's heart was touched by the special needs of children. Donations in his memory may be made to The Baptist Children's Homes of NC, P.O. Box 338 Thomasville, NC 27361; St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 613377, Memphis, TN 38101; or to the charity of your choice.
Please leave online condolences for the family at Peacock – Newnam & White Funeral Service.

The Lindsey Oil Refinery is shaping up to be the new capital of labour militancy in Britain. The nationwide dispute over the employment of foreign workers in January was centred on the Lincolnshire plant. And Lindsey was the spark for another industrial confrontation yesterday.
Some 700 construction contractors have been sacked by the plant's owners, Total, for taking part in a wildcat strike, called after 51 workers were made redundant. And just as in January, workers at power plants and refineries around the country have walked out in sympathy with their Lincolnshire colleagues.
Hard facts relating to the events at the heart of the dispute remain elusive. The workers claim management broke an agreement not to cut jobs at Lindsey while there were vacancies elsewhere on the site. They have also accused bosses of victimising those involved in January's wildcat action. For its part, Total claims the workers refused to come to the negotiating table, giving the company no choice but to dismiss them.
The sensitivity of workers over the security of their jobs can easily be imagined – even sympathised with – in the present economic climate. And it might be that Total has behaved badly towards them. But it should be noted that the inflammatory accusations of these same workers in January that Total had discriminated unfairly against British workers were never borne out.
And, just as earlier this year, the manner in which these workers are venting their frustrations is doing them no favours at all. By walking out without holding a strike ballot, they instantly broke the law and ceded Total the moral high ground.
In refusing to follow due process in their dispute, these oil workers risk an even greater danger. One of the sacked workers was reported yesterday as saying that Total has "unleashed a monster". But the monster of arrogant and bullying labour militancy is just as unpopular in the broader country as it was when the state moved to suppress it three decades ago. If these workers want to build public support for their grievances, they are going about it in precisely the wrong way.

Here's an Ed, Edd n Eddy fanfic episode. More will come later. It's in script format.
[Ed's room. Day. Ed is watching TV. The TV reads, "ALL DAY MONSTER MOVIE MARATHON TODAY!" He is surrounded with junk food of all kinds and we hear noises like screaming and horror movie stuff from the TV. He watches intently while cramming food into his mouth. Suddenly, the screen changes to a dark blue shading with the words, "EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM" emblazoned on it in large white letters.]
Announcer: We interrupt this program for a test of the Emergency Alert System.
Ed: Huh?
[The high-pitched tone familiar with the EAS begins. Ed's face remains blank for a moment, then changes to a look of terror. He screams and leaps to his feet, sending the junk food everywhere.]
Ed: AAAHHH! It's the end of the world! I've got to warn everyone! [Bolts out of his room]
[The cul-de-sac. Day. The kids are out playing. Kevin is riding his bike, Nazz is listening to a walkman, Sarah and Jimmy are playing hopscotch, and Jonny is just standing there with Plank licking an ice cream cone. Suddenly, Ed runs up yelling, catching everyone's attention.]
Ed: Attention, citizens of the cul-de-sac, the moon has just been knocked out of orbit and will strike Earth in less than 5 hours! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! [Runs off]
[The kids look confused.]
Nazz: What's his problem?
Kevin: He's just being a dork.
Jimmy: [Shaking violently] E-Ed scared the pants off me, Sarah! Is the moon really going to hit and destroy us all?
Sarah: [Annoyed] Oh, brother! [Soothingly] Jimmy, Ed's just being a big idiot like he always is. Don't worry about it, silly.
[The kids resume playing.]
[Eddy's garage. Day. There are easels everywhere. Eddy is painting on one and Edd is standing there with a worried look on his face.]
Edd: Eddy, I'm not so sure this is a good idea. You hardly know how to paint!
Eddy: It's foolproof, Double D! We'll just sell these to the kids and we'll be swimming in jawbreakers!
Edd: Eddy, these are not works of art! The kids won't go for these! NO ONE will go for these!
[Pan around to show all the paintings Eddy has done so far. There are paintings of houses, cars, dogs, people, etc. and they all look like they have been drawn by a 5-year-old.]
Eddy: Come on, Double D, It'll be fine!
[Ed runs up still screaming. He runs right into some easels and paint cans, knocking the easels over and causing paint to splash everywhere, ruining the paintings. Eddy is furious.]
Eddy: ED! You idiot, you ruined my paintings!
[Ed, covered in paint and wearing a paint can on his head, grabs Eddy.]
Ed: Be afraid, O skeptical one, be very afraid, for the moon has just been knocked out of its orbit and is headed right for Earth and will destroy all humanity! [Points to the sky, but there is nothing there] We have less than 5 hours to prepare and make our peace.
[Pause. Eddy bursts out laughing while Edd does a facepalm, then approaches Ed.]
Edd: Ed, the moon is not going to hit us. Where did you hear that?
Ed: The TV said something about an emergency alert! That's how it was right before the moon hit in that movie!
Edd: [Smiles] Ed, you saw the Emergency Alert System. It's a national emergency system set to interrupt radio and TV to warn people of major catastrophes like floods or tornadoes or terrorist attacks. Every week, they do tests to see if it's working and what you saw today was just a weekly test. Plus, if the moon was indeed knocked out of orbit, we'd see it, have heard about it already, and there would be chaotic disasters all over the world, like freak storms and rising tides.
[Ed has a blank look on his face, then starts screaming again.]
Ed: Run for the hills! [Runs off again]
Edd: [Shaking his head] Ed's overactive imagination strikes again.
[Eddy's eyes light up and a huge smile crosses his face. Edd sees this.]
Edd: [Sighs] Another scam idea, Eddy?
[Eddy grabs Edd.]
Eddy: How about we convince the kids that the moon is going to hit us and the only safe refuge is Ed's basement, which we'll make into a bomb shelter, and each person has to pay $.50 for admission?
Edd: [Facepalms again] Eddy, I highly doubt that the kids would fall for this doomsday scheme of yours. Besides, if the moon DID strike the Earth, the force of the impact would completely destroy the planet and create a new asteroid belt between Venus and Mars; there would be no safe place anywhere. [Eddy just walks away, not listening] And furthermo- Eddy? Eddy? Oh boy... [Follows]
[The cul-de-sac. Later that day. The kids, now joined by Rolf, are still outside playing. Eddy, carrying a large sign that says "THE END IS NEAR!" and a small bell, walks up loudly ringing the bell. Edd follows, looking annoyed.]
Eddy: The end is nigh, fellow citizens! The end is nigh! In less than 5 hours, the moon will indeed hit the Earth!
[The kids all stop and look at Eddy, confused like before.]
Eddy: [Still ringing his bell] It's the end of the world, the total annihilation of all life on this tiny little planet, right, Double D?
Edd: [Rolls his eyes] Yes.
Kevin: What are you dorks talking about?
Eddy: [Stops ringing] Ask Double D. [Elbows Edd]
Edd: [Sighs heavily, then looks ominous] Eddy speaks the truth, for a massive asteroid struck the moon and knocked it out of orbit, causing it to end up on a collision course with Earth and there is no way to stop it. We have less than 2 hours before it strikes and annihilates everything on the surface of this planet. Everything that you and I know and have ever known will be gone in an instant, incinerated into nothing more but small ashes drifting listlessly on the dead wind...
[Pause. The kids look blank, then begin screaming and panicking, running around in all directions.]
Eddy: [Smiles] Heh, heh, heh... suckers!
Edd: I fail to see the humor in this, Eddy! Look how much you've scared them!
[Nazz and Kevin are hugging each other and sobbing, Jimmy and Sarah do the same, Rolf is on his knees praying loudly in some foreign language, and Jonny just stands around looking scared and trying to "comfort" Plank.]
Jonny: I-It'll be okay, b-b-buddy! W-We'll get o-o-out of this with our l-l-l-lives! W-We'll survive t-this!
Jimmy: I knew we should have listened to that crazy preacher! He warned us that the end was near!
Eddy: Okay, enough drama, there's hope. [The panic continues][Raises his voice] There's hope! [Yelling now] HEY! [The kids stop panicking and look at him] As I was saying, there is still hope for us, right, Double D? [Elbows him again]
Edd: [Sighs] Yes, there is hope for us. We have just fortified Ed's basement into a bomb shelter that will protect us from the effects of the impact and we have enough food, water, and other supplies to last for a fairly long amount of time. However, I must ask that each of you pay $.50 for admission.
Kevin: $.50?
Rolf: You are making us pay for a chance at safety and security from the impact of our moon?
Eddy: Hey, fair is fair.
Sarah: I'd rather the moon smash me into a bazillion pieces!
Jimmy: [Terrified] But, Sarah, who'll protect me?
Eddy: It's just two measly quarters, but why are you worried? In just a few short hours, money will be reduced to nothing but worthless paper and round metal things. Why protect them when they'll be completely useless soon?
Sarah: [Rolls her eyes, then sighs heavily] Come on, Jimmy, let's go get our piggy banks. [Leaves with Jimmy]
[The other kids begin to head to their houses. Kevin approaches Eddy and Edd.]
Kevin: Listen, Nostradam-dorks, if you're wrong about this, I'll make you WISH the world was ending! [Holds up his fist in a threatening way, then leaves]
Eddy: [Laughs] I can't believe they're falling for it! We should have done this YEARS ago!
Edd: Once again, I fail to see the humor in this.
Eddy: You fail to see everything. Come on, let's go to Ed's house and wait for the kids.
[Ed's basement. Late afternoon. The kids are all standing in front of Ed's bedroom door, all holding various things. Ed's door reads "BOMB SHELTER. TWO QUARTERS EACH". Eddy opens the door and steps out, holding a money jar.]
Eddy: Only $.50 each for safety! [Nazz, carrying a purse and expensive-looking crystal ornament, gives two quarters and steps in] Thank you. [Jonny, carrying Plank, a big suitcase for him and a small suitcase for Plank, gives four quarters, two for him and two for Plank, then steps in] Thank you. [Sarah, carrying a dollhouse and doll, gives two quarters and steps in] Thank you. [Rolf, dragging a HUGE trunk that is carrying his animals because of the animal limbs jutting out of it, is about to give his two quarters, but Eddy stops him] Whoa, whoa, whoa, there, Rolfy, your animals can't come.
Rolf: [Angry] Let my livestock in, three-haired Ed-boy, or suffer the wrath of the son of a shepherd!
Eddy: They're just animals, Rolf.
Rolf: [Furious][Gets up in Eddy's face] ROLF'S LIVESTOCK MEAN MORE TO HIM THAN THE TENDER DELICIOUSNESS OF HIS NANA'S DEEP-FRIED BEETS!
Eddy: Sorry. [Rolf starts heading upstairs, dragging his trunk] Wait, where are you going?
Rolf: Rolf would rather be baked into nothingness like Nana's homemade chocolate cupcakes by the fiery impact of our planet's satellitthan sit in the safety of a shelter and allow his livestock to perish.
Eddy: Well, all right, Rolf, we'll see you. [Jimmy and Kevin glare angrily at Eddy] What?
Jimmy: You're just gonna throw him out like a paper cup? I never thought you could be so cruel! I refuse to enter the safety of your shelter now. [Starts walking up the stairs with Rolf]
Kevin: [Following] Same here.
Eddy: [Panicking] Wait! Okay, okay, Rolf, you can keep your animals! [Rolf immediately flies into Ed's room, depositing his two quarters on the way][Looks confused, then shrugs] Next. [Jimmy, holding a doll and a couple of small suitcases, gives two quarters and steps in] Thank you. [Finally, Kevin, holding his bike, gives two quarters and steps in] Okay, that's everyone. [Shuts the door]
[Ed's bedroom. Late afternoon. The kids are all crammed in with their possessions and Rolf's animals. The windows are hastily boarded up, the door has drawings of locks, and the "emergency supplies" are 3 cans of food, 2 bottled waters, and a bandage. There is a clock on the wall that reads, "TIME TO DOOMSDAY" and a small counter below reads "1 HOURS 15 MINUTES" and is counting down. Eddy "locks" the door and faces everyone.]
Eddy: Now, we sit and wait.
Edd: [Whispering] Eddy, what about the Kankers?
Eddy: [Whispering] Let them fend for themselves, Double D. Remember, it's all just a scam.
Nazz: Eddy, what's gonna happen when the moon hits?
Eddy: Well... [Scratches his head] Gosh, I don't know. What do you think it'll be like, Double D?
Edd: Uh... [Ed cuts in]
Ed: [Ominous] First, the impact will cause a massive earthquake bigger than anything ever felt and it will be felt all over the world. Afterward, a huge wave of intense heat will radiate across the world, incinerating everything in its path. Shockwaves will follow, destroying anything left standing and, finally, it will all be over.
[Pause. The kids all look at Edd and Eddy.]
Eddy: Uh... y-yeah. What Ed said.
Jimmy: How long do we have to stay down here?
Edd: Uh... until about a few minutes after the shockwaves pass? [Leans into Eddy; whispering] Eddy, what are we going to tell them when your supposed "hour of doom" passes without the moon hitting?
Eddy: [Whispering] We've got them convinced, Double D. They'll believe anything we tell them.
Edd: [Sighs, shakes his head, and smiles at the kids] Any ideas on how we can lighten the mood and pass the time?
Jimmy: How about a song?
When you stub your toe and it hurts, you-
Kids: NO!
Ed: How about we watch "Attack of the Spider Zombies from Pluto"?
Jonny: How about we listen to Plank tell campfire stories?
Nazz: Or tell our most embarrassing moments?
Rolf: Rolf would enjoy a good game of "Hide the Pork Fat".
Eddy: I've got it! Let's play "I Spy"!
[The kids groan.]
Kevin: That's such a lame game.
Nazz: Totally childish.
Jimmy: I-I'd like to play "I Spy". It would take my mind off the fact that Earth has only a couple of hours left before our moon collides and extinguishes all life on our beloved little planet.
[The kids reluctantly agree.]
Edd: [Sighs] I'll go first. I spy with my little eye something... blue.
[The kids all murmur to each other.]
Nazz: Rolf's hair?
Edd: Yes! [To himself] Can this day get any worse?
[Wilfred, Rolf's pig, has a nasty bout of flatulence and all the kids groan and react to the smell. The counter, reading "1 HOURS 13 MINUTES" dissolves to "0 HOURS 2 MINUTES".]
Eddy: Two minutes to doomsday.
[The kids all murmur to each other again.]
Kevin: Hey, Double Dork, what'll it be like after the moon hits?
Edd: Well... [Reluctantly playing along with Eddy] we'll be the only ones left in the whole world.
Jonny: [Smiling] We'll be able to go anywhere and do whatever we want?
Sarah: And no grown-ups around?
Edd: Y-Yes.
Eddy: [Cutting in] The whole world will be ours for the taking and no one will tell us what to do because we'll make our own rules.
[The kids, including Ed and Eddy, all look excited at this prospect, except for Edd.]
Edd: [Leaning into Eddy; whispering] Eddy, you apparently forgot that this was one of your money-making scams and the moon is not going to hit.
[Eddy's smile literally melts. The counter now reads, "0 HOURS 1 MINUTE".]
Eddy: [Dejected] One minute to the end of the world...
Nazz: [Horrified] What about my parents?!
[The kids begin clamoring about their parents.]
Eddy: Hey, hey, hey! [The kids quiet down and look at him] Our parents'll be fine! Double D called them and they're all safe and sound in a shelter in downtown.
[The kids breathe sighs of relief as Eddy just stares at the counter, then checks his watch.]
Eddy: Twenty seconds to doomsday.
[Brief pause.]
Eddy: Fifteen, fourteen...
[The rest of the kids all join in the counting down, except for Edd. The kids react as they count down. Nazz and Kevin hold each other, Sarah and Jimmy grip each other's hands, Ed bites his fingernails, Rolf hides behind his cow, Jonny holds Plank close to him, and Edd just reads a magazine.]
The kids, except for Edd: Thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... [Everyone closes their eyes except for Edd and Eddy]
[Nothing happens. The kids open their eyes and, for the exception of the Eds, begin murmuring to each other, wondering about what happened. Soon, Kevin glares at the Eds.]
Kevin: Where's the big earthquake you promised us?
Eddy: [Sweating profusely] Uh... i-it did happen, but t-this basement is earthquake-proofed, soundproofed, heat-proofed, and shockwave-proofed, so we didn't n-notice.
Sarah: [Pulling off one of the boards on the windows] Then how do you explain this?
[Outside, it is a beautiful summer evening. The sun is setting, the birds are chirping, and nothing has happened. The kids all glare angrily at the Eds.]
Jonny: I knew you were big fat phonies!
Kevin: Like I said, when I'm through with you, you're going to wish that the world was going to end!
[The kids all begin advancing towards the Eds. Eddy chuckles nervously, "unlocks" the door, and opens it.]
[Ed's basement. Evening. Eddy steps out with Ed and Edd, but the kids all grab them and pull them inside, slamming the door shut. Sounds of fighting and beating-up is heard for a little while, then the door opens and the kids, with smiles on their faces and possessions and money in hand, leave.]
Sarah: [Sweetly] Wait until Mom hears about this, Ed.
[Jimmy blows a raspberry.]
Jonny: [To Plank; happily] Ya gotta admit, buddy, that was a really good joke! They really had me going for a few seconds. [Laughs]
Rolf: Be thankful we are not in the old country, wolf-crying Ed-boys, for in the old country, false prophets would have to sit nude in a barrel full of leeches.
Nazz: [Last one out; looks at the Eds] Grow up! [Slams the door shut]
[Ed's bedroom. Late afternoon. The Eds are all tied up and tied to each other on the bedroom floor. They struggle, but the ropes stay firm. Ed gnaws on his rope while Edd and Eddy just sit there.]
Edd: Eddy, you should have known that this scam was doomed to failure from the first moment you thought of it. No one can accurately predict when the end of the world will come. Many, many people in the past have tried, but they have all failed. Take Nostradamus, for example. He made many predictions for the end of the world and other disastrous events, but they never came true, despite what some people say. There is absolutely no way to accurately predict the end of the world or any type of catastrophe because it will never, ever be right, Eddy.
Eddy: [Not listening] Why didn't I say that it missed the Earth at the last minute or something like that? Or better yet, why didn't I just stick with my art scam?
Ed: [Stops gnawing] I am a sassy cat and so full of sass. If you don't like it, you can kiss my-
Edd: Ed, if you finish that sentence, the show'll get cancelled in a second.
Eddy: [Lightens up] Show? I've got it! We should make our own TV talk show! Now to get out of these ropes... [Begins gnawing on his rope with Ed]
Edd: [Sighs and looks at the viewer] He never learns, does he?
[End episode]
A couple of more stories will come later.

Kiki and Cole
The small bunny licked and nibbled Trins arm softly. She began to start walking hoping to find another human. "Your name will be...carrots." She said looking at the bunny. "Cute right?" The bunny looked her and wiggled its little nose. Then it stopped. Carrots ears went up and it looked a bit menacing. There was a growl coming from the bushes. "Carrots.." Trin put down Carrots and took out her sword gaurding the two. Suddenly a horrid zombie reached its hand out from the bush and snatched Trins ankle. She screeched loudly as the zombie bit into her ankle sinking its rotted but sharp teeth into her skin. Blood poured from her ankle as Trin reached for her sword which she had dropped. Carrots saw Trin and attacked the creature. She never knew a bunny could be SK viscious. The zombie let go of her ankle but then grabbed her arm and yanked her back to the ground. She thudded into the dirt and screamed again. The zombie bit her arm and shoulder but then just like that its body parts fell to the ground and it made a weird noise. Trin was crying now and bleeding, her clean apperance ruined. Carrots hopped onto her lap and licked her. She crawled onto a tree stump and yelled. "HELP!" She said managing all her strength. "HELP..." She said again. Trins vision was blurry and she fell to the ground. Before she blacked out she felt two pairs of hands on her body as she was hoisted into the air.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Grip On is a highly corrosive and dangerous chemical. It was brought to my attention that the information on MSDS (Material Safety data Sheet) given to me by Safety Seal Products was false and misleading.
When I contacted William Markowitz the owner of Safety Seal Products, I alerted him that his marketing materials as well as his labeling was misleading. His label should state how dangerous a chemical Grip On is.
He continues to mislead the public and not inform them of the hazards of applying Grip On. People who have purchased Grip On or who plan to buy it should take all necessary precautions when dealing with highly corrosive materials. Las Vegas, NV
