Mechanicville stop
... maybe we will treat ourselves to a dinner while we are here a few nights. We have ordered extra filters and will pick them up downstream at Lock 1 on Friday, so we will try to stay here until that time. We'll take advantage of the close walk to the store and stock up on more food before we leave. I might even do a real laundry instead of washing a few items at a time in the sink because that's not a far walk ...

Wichita school district to consider layoffs of teachers, staff
I think that all our politicians and legislators need to take a massive pay cut, start paying for their own insurance like the rest of us, and pay in to their own retirement instead of getting pensions for life. That would make a nice dent in the budget to use for schools. As it is, small town school superintendents are paid well over 6 figures (plus benefits, expenses, etc.).

Federal judge refuses to block Kansas abortion rules
I guess our government and the Pro-Lifers (funny how pro-lifers don't have a problem killing a doctor, nurse, MA that works at one of these clinics) don't know about this thing called the internet, where you can get all types of information, whether it's factual, an opinion, or just plain blatant lies. I also can't see how this particular Kansas administration can say "objective" when clearly all they've done is pushed their own religious agendas through to become law. Even better is all the research that's been done on the issue of life and when it begins. If life begins at fertilization, then if a woman has a miscarriage, she's breaking the law and should be held accountable for murder, whether it was planned or not. Right now in the world scientific community, there is much debate about when life officially begins. The research PROVES that humans don't actually reach full self awareness until minimum age 5. There has been absolutely NO evidence that a fetus can feel ANYTHING at 20 weeks. As far as the dimwitted Mary and her statement about the screaming...pot calling the kettle...are you still black? There's that dimwitted girl in Cali that gets paid big bucks by FOXNews, she went to school for history, but in her "well trained medical opinion", she sees no evidence that the woman in El Salvador that's fetus doesn't have half a brain, the mother has gestational kidney problems that most likely will kill her if her pregnancy goes full term. All these pro-lifers think they know so much, but in reality their own emotions completely block the facts.

KU football unveils five new helmets for 2013 season
@sciencegeek, I agree, totally. They need to funnel that money into education, since last I checked KU was a school of higher learning. Coaches, team staff, and all the upper administration getting paid 7 figures, and they don't do anything real for education. Lower tuition and let the parents/boosters buy all this frivolous stuff and pay those ungodly salaries.

White House announces Obama's speech Tuesday in Osawatomie to focus on economy
Must be another one of those people that blindly follows and praises a politician because they are of the same party. I've asked people that say O'bummer is great president to give me examples of the great things he's done, and all I've gotten back was the he's a Democrat. Barack's great at raising our deficit (more than doubled it in the first year he was pres), lowered taxes for the upper class, gave them even more tax breaks, cut education and health care...but is going to "make" everybody get health insurance or charge them more taxes-the reason those people don't have health insurance is because they can't afford it!

Sam Brownback was the only other governor to attend the prayer rally hosted by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has said he will likely run for president. Do you think Brownback would make a good vice presidential candidate on that ticket?
One thing you have to look at is we have a governor now that is imposing his religious beliefs on the state and tax payers. He has an obligation to the state to honor the Constitution and why this country was founded in the first place-freedom of religion. There's also that "pesky" separation of church and state. I don't care what religion he is, or that he goes to church and prays, but to impose those religious beliefs or pass legislation that imposes those beliefs on the tax payers not only goes against Constitutional Law but is also abuse of power.

Obama must get serious about cutting debt
Does the IRS also list percentages of gross earnings for that top 1 percent? It'd be interesting to see how much that top 1 percent makes in comparison to the rest of the tax payers (by percentage). The fact remains that while petroleum companies keep recording record profits, they keep wanting tax breaks and subsidies. We give big business tax breaks for sending jobs overseas, sending manufacturing overseas, then give them import tax breaks or wave the import tax altogether on these products. Big business (and even small businesses) should not be rewarded for taking jobs overseas, and they shouldn't get a tax break for doing that.

Obama must get serious about cutting debt
I understand the security issues, but she doesn't need to go to Dubai for vacation at tax payer's expense. I'd have no problem with it if they actually helped pay for their vacations and tried to offset these costs. She doesn't have to go to the places she's gone...I don't care if her vacations become "PR" with other nations, it's a huge waste of tax payer money.

Obama must get serious about cutting debt
Why hasn't anyone pointed out the fact that our government gave themselves raises this year instead of taking pay cuts? How about Michelle Obama not taking AirForce 2 where ever she wants for vacation, every time she takes AF2 it costs tax payers millions of dollars. This administration has cut taxes and given more tax breaks to the upper class, which most of the upper government is in. They've taken funds away from the lower class, education, health care, etc., and have given away money to outside the US and other corporations. Instead of looking at these problems as Republican or Democrat, how about if everybody grows up and actually fix this huge mess.

Obama must get serious about cutting debt
"ordering osama bin laden gone"?
He merely "okayed" the military taking out Bin Laden, and that was more of a political puppet thing than him having actual control over what happened. I guess you forget that the Bush administration declared "war on terrorism" and had been hunting Bin Laden since before 9/11.
I could care less about the whole democrat/republican thing...the Obama administration has done absolutely nothing about creating jobs or reducing the deficit, each of which he "promised" in his campaign.

Kunsthaus Zürich: The Nahmad Collection
Exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich: Miró, Monet, Matisse - The Nahmad Collection
For the first time ever, one hundred major pieces from what is thought to be a one-of-a-kind private collection are to go on show in an exclusive exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
Picasso, with a breathtaking selection of work from all phases of his career, is one of the best-represented artists in the collection; but there are also Matisse, Modigliani and Kandinsky, with whole series of brilliant pieces; and Claude Monet, one of the ancestors of the modernist movement. But although the Nahmad Collection is ostensibly committed to the orthodox canon, it has its eclectic touches too, including works by proponents of late Impressionism (Renoir, Degas and Seurat) at the end of the 19th century, through advocates of Cubism and Abstract Art all the way to the Surrealists: Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst rub shoulders with exceptional pieces by Joan Miró, for a truly astonishing tour of some great moments in modern art. The Nahmad Collection!

Q. Tim, a lot of people figured y'all were struggling with Trey having the issues he had today. Even though Trey wasn't at his greatest, what does it show?
Mitch McGary: It shows our team is capable of having anybody score at any moment. I think Caris and Spike came in and played a big role in our team, had a great first half. I think we had 16 bench points the first half. Just shows how mature our team has grown throughout the season.
Tim Hardaway, JR.: It's not a one-man team. Everybody in the media has been talking about it. That's why it's a team. It's a team win. That's what we focus on.
We know Trey is our leader. He's not going to have a game like he's always been the whole season. That's when our team steps up just tries to picks him up. He really doesn't need it, but we try to pick it up anyway, try to go out there and do a great job of competing.
Q. Tim, you had a rough shooting weekend last weekend against Kansas and Florida. 4 of 16 tonight. What has happened to your game?
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: Nothing is happening. As long as we're winning, I'm fine. I can't focus on that right now. I can't focus on the offensive end. All I can do is focus on the defensive end to help my team win.
My teammates do a great job of sticking behind me whatever decision I make while I'm out there on the court. The shots are not falling, but I can do more than that. I can rebound. I can pass. I can defend. That's what it's going to take to win the championship, that's what I'll do.
Q. Mitch, you've had a really good tournament so far. What has been the secret to your success?
MITCH McGARY: You know, just finding a role on the team. The guys need me to step up when the moment's needed. Trey and Tim have done a good job of being the opponents' key, keying on them a lot. I'm just getting a lot of open looks and make good decisions.
Q. Tim, can you walk through the two back-to-back plays with Michael Carter-Williams about two minutes left where he got the charge.
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: Jordan Morgan came off the bench, did a fantastic job for us. That's why he's all Big Ten first team defense. He makes plays that a lot of us don't see out there. He saw Carter-Williams go to the basket, laid his body on the line, sacrificed himself for the team. Got us another possession.
Carter-Williams, the last to get fouled off, I was trying to knock down the handoff he did. He got a piece of me. I mean, the ref called the foul. I don't know what else to say.
Q. How close did that game actually feel for you in the final 10, 20 seconds?
Trey Burke: It was a close game throughout the whole game. I kept telling the guys coming out of halftime that Syracuse is a talented team, they're going to go on runs. This game is a game of runs. We just stuck together. Like coach said, we didn't have any timeouts at the end of the game. A lot of people would crack under pressure when you're in that type of situation.
We just continued to try to find ways to get the ball into our best foul shooter's hands. At the end of the day it came down to defense. We got a lot of stops on the defensive end and it allowed us to get out in transition where we're best at.
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: Just like Trey said, he basically said the whole thing, so I'm fine.
It's incredible, just being in that situation, being on the defensive end for the last 20, 30 seconds of the game. We've been in that situation before all season long. We knew what it takes to get that last stop. It came down to getting that last rebound and we got it.
MITCH McGARY: For me, I could have probably made a little bit more free throws, probably sealed the deal, but that's the game that happens. Just for us to be on that last 10 seconds, try to get a stop when we needed it, was big for our team. I knew we grew from that.
Q. You attacked the Syracuse zone efficiently in the first half. In the second half, it didn't seem that way. What happened differently that it seemed a little disjointed?
TREY BURKE: Well, I just think they're magnificent in that zone. They have a lot of length. It's tough to try to get the ball into the middle. You think something's open, it may not be. They pride themselves in deflection. We just tried to be as careful as possible. We know they strive off of turnovers. They do a good job of turning turnovers into touchdowns. We gave up some good looks, sometimes we shot some looks that weren't necessarily there.
At the end of the day, it wasn't offense. A lot of us didn't have good shooting nights. But it was defense that allowed us to advance.
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: Yeah, like Trey said, second half they were very, very, very active. They pushed their zone out a little bit further. It's kind of tough when you have shooters trying to shoot closer to the three-point line, when they push you out to the NBA three-point line. They were way more active and aggressive and tried to do a great job of containing us.
MITCH McGARY: Just like Tim said, they lengthened the zone a lot. Pressured the ball a lot more. Once we got in the high post, we got some good looks. Shots weren't falling the way we wanted them. Once we got second looks, they started falling.
Q. Looks like you guys got rolling in the first half a little bit when Caris hit a couple of shots and Albrecht as well. Can you just talk about their contributions.
TREY BURKE: We have guys that can come off the bench and give us sparks any given night. We don't necessarily know who it's going to be. Sometimes it may be Spike, sometimes it may be Caris on the defensive end. They both played their tails off tonight. They both knocked down shots that were there, that were given to them. They played defense.
It kind of allowed the veterans to play with more confidence.
Q. Trey, it wasn't your typical offensive night out there. Tell us about how you felt.
TREY BURKE: Like you say, it was an off night for me. I try not to force things, though. I took two or three shots that were kind of forced. But I tried to just get guys involved. I knew that their whole game plan was to try to make me shoot tough, contested threes. I tried to get the ball into the middle as much as possible, tried to hit the open man, tried to contribute in different ways other than scoring.
Q. Mitch, it seems like each game your game keeps expanding. Have you always had those pieces in your game, like the no-look passes?
MITCH McGARY: You know, yeah, I mean, I consider myself a good passer. Sometimes too crazy for Coach Beilein. Sometimes I turn the ball over. Open gym and stuff during the summer, I was doing no-look passes.
Just the time and the moment, just trying to make the right play.
Q. Could you talk about your thoughts on playing for the title on Monday night.
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: I mean, playing for the title is what we've been working for all season long. This team made a lot of sacrifices to get to this point. We're just going to try to do a great job of containing Louisville and make sure we play Michigan basketball.
Q. C.J. Fair was dominant in the game. How did you shut him down at the end of the game?
TIM HARDAWAY, JR.: Just tried to do a great job containing him. He has a great first step going to the basket. He has a lot of jab series, pump fakes in his game. You have to be careful with what he does. We just tried to do a great job containing him, not give him anything easy in the last three minutes because we know he was their go-to guy.
Q. Trey, Monday night might be your last game at Michigan depending what you decide to do next year. Can you talk about what it's like to get to the last game of a season, what might be the last game of your career, how you think about that?
TREY BURKE: Well, that's something that I'll talk to my coaches and my family about after the season. You know, it feels great to just be playing on Monday night. A lot of teams aren't playing Monday night. Just to be able to have the opportunity to play here in Atlanta for a national championship, it's a dream come true.
That's where my mindset is at right now. It's kind of surreal. Growing up as a kid, watching March Madness, you always wanted to see yourself playing in the Final Four, playing in the national championship. Now that we're here, we're one step away from accomplishing a goal that we've set at the beginning of the year.
So I'm just excited for the opportunity.

Wheelie good fun at 'superb' Combe Martin Carnival
PUBLISHED: 12:27 18 August 2014
Marnie Quy
Pictures: Combe Martin Carnival Wheelbarrow Race and motor show.
'Absolutely superb' was how organisers described a triumphant Combe Martin carnival week.
A slight hiccough in the form of high winds put paid to the raft race, but the rest of the week went off without a hitch, with both the main parade on Wednesday and Friday's wheelbarrow race hailed a great success.
"Thank you to everybody in the village who took part, put pennies in our buckets and the army of people who helped out, too many to mention," said Carol Crawford, carnival committee chairman.
"It's a massive team effort to put on such a big event and we couldn't do it without them."
Local police were well pleased too, with Sergeant Paul Jones at Ilfracombe saying both parades passed off peacefully and with no incidents reported.
"This was the first time that I had worked either the Combe Martin Carnival or the Wheelbarrow Race and I would have to say how impressed I was with the atmosphere at both events," he said.
"They were a credit to the organisers and the community alike."
In the main parade, the Farmyard Friends team took the best original award and best overall trophy with their float Frozen.

Before She Fell
It was warm enough to rain but the chilled, harsh wind turned the drops into icy daggers. Once the knives hit her face they melted and began to roll down her frosted cheeks. The drops trailed waves of fire and she wished they would have frozen before they fell.
She wished she could have frozen before she fell, too.

The mother has refused my visitation rights and when we went to court last the courts seen it in her favor with me filing contempt charges. She had a Department Of Human Resources attorney and i couldn't afford one. They chose to cut my visitation down to 1 hour every other weekend supervised and raise my child support payments. Is there anything i can do? I have thought about signing over all rights but I do know I have to take care of my children.

In the heart of Paris. Very nice and cozy apartment. Everything you need for a shot or even longer stay. Lovely and welcoming host Arnaud.
We definitely come back in the future.
Very nice room and very good location. It is very close to metro about few minute walk. Arnaud and his staff Ali are both very nice and helpful. If i go to Paris again, this is the place i must consider.
Amazing Appartement!
Central location: metro is only a 2 minutes walk. Shopping Center, shops, bars and restaurants are around.
Beautiful appartment: view onto an old church, French-style furnished, very comfortable
Hosts: friendly, courteous, anxious
Thank you for a great weekend in Paris!
We enjoyed the stay in that pittoresque apartment very much and recommend
it to anybody who wants to visit Paris and live for a while in the center of the
City from where one can reach all museums, shops, the old alleys by foot.
The apartment is clean and calm, everything is available for daily life.
We were welcomed very friendly by Ali and Renaud. Thank you to both of
Greetings from Angelika and Friedrich
The apartment is well located in central Paris, with everything within easy walking distance. It is decorated in a unique style and offers something different than a stay in a usual hotel would. The little balcony and quirky feel made it a memorable base for exploring the city.
We were pleased overall with the accommodation itself; however if we had known that our age (a mid-twenties - thirties something couple) would cause such apprehension and distrust upon arrival from the owner we would have booked elsewhere as it did make us feel uncomfortable. I'll elaborate below.
Upon booking we received a short message saying that we looked young and asking for our age. Odd question, but we thought little of answering it as we don't appear as old as we are. Everything was normal from this point onwards; we received all necessary information to prepare for our trip and the owner was helpful.
Upon arrival we chose to walk the short 15-30 minutes from the station. We sent our updates via text as requested. However, the owner appeared annoyed that we chose to walk instead of taking one stop on the subway as his reply to our text was critical of this and said that he was going to go home. We were on the street at that point and phoned to stop him from leaving. His initial greeting of us in person was quite cold.
In the apartment, he kept mentioning our age when talking about the house rules and in general seemed really distrustful. For example, he was not keen on us using the kitchenette. It also came to pass that it was not usually him who met guests, but his assistant -- he had however insisted on meeting us, again, because of our age.
In general, it was an enjoyable stay despite the above but I would not recommend to couples in their twenties or early thirties because of our experience.
Lovely apartment near several metro stations. We had no trouble finding the apartment, and Ali was waiting for us with the keys when we arrived.
Small, but very comfy apartment with a practical breakfast area and a small kitchen. Surprisingly big shower with loads of warm water. The toilet/table-solution was a bit impractical, but no worse than that we could make do for a couple of days.
Ali was a bit late to pick up the keys on our day of departure, but it all worked out in the end.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much, and would recommend it to friends.
Das gebuchte Appartement liegt mitten im Szeneviertel von Les Hall. Keine zwei Minuten zur Metro.Über einen kleinen Aufzug geht es in den fünften Stock. Alles ist gemütlich eingerichtet. Kleines Bad mit Toilette und Dusche. Kleine Kochecke mit Kühlschrank, Mikrowelle und Senseo Kaffemaschine. So kann man sich auf mal auf dem Zimmer veköstigen, gerade weil Paris doch sehr teuer ist.
Der Kontakt zu Ali, er ist für das Appartment zuständig, lief auf Englisch und völlig problemlos. Wir haben uns immer Zimmer pudelwohl gefühlt. Auch ein kleiner Fernseher (nur französische Sender) ist vorhanden.
Alle Geschäfte findet man direkt in der Straße. Und natürlich jede Menge Lokale. Dadurch ist es auch im fünften Stock den ganzen Tag und auch in der Nacht recht laut. Das sollte man wissen. Uns hat es nicht gestört, wir waren sowieso die meiste Zeit on tour.
Absolut emfehlenswert und unschlagbar mit der Lage, dem Flair des Appartments und dem Preis:-)))

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) today urged MTA to implement immediately an urgent recommendation from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to require redundant signal protection, such as shunting, that would have prevented the death of Metro-North track foreman Robert Luden, who was killed May 28, near West Haven. Luden, 52, was killed by a train while working on a track that was supposed to be out of service for a construction project.
"The technology NTSB urgently recommended today offers a necessary safeguard that is proven to save lives," Blumenthal said. "Without question, MTA should adopt it immediately. The fact that such critical, effective technology is not already required, however, exposes a larger problem, and I will use Wednesday's rail safety hearing to seek expert advice on whether this technology should be required by law. The cost of requiring and installing this technology pales in comparison to the cost in lives lost and injuries sustained that we will continue to incur if we fail to act."
Blumenthal is a leading advocate for rail safety, and, on Wednesday, he will chair a hearing of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation entitled "Staying on Track: Next Steps in Improving Passenger and Freight Rail Safety." Among those testifying will be Connecticut Transportation Commissioner James Redeker.

AMAZING FOOD!!!! Flavorful and tasty...Love the Tapas, especially the Pate and the sardines. The Trio of spreads was also wonderful, along with the special pita breads. Definitely would recommend this restaurant...reasonably priced with GREAT SERVICE :)
We are very familiar with mediterranean food, but that was a whole new experience! Every dish had a refreshing twist, a perfect blend of flavors, the chef is very creative, the food was beautifully presented, and was sooooo good! Definitely going back :) Tip: ask for the Halva Parfait, don't share :)
WOW!!! What an amazing find... I went here for dinner and am in LOVE with the food!!! Mediteranean Style Tapas cuisine.... small portions and a very nice variety. Their Chef is amazing with his blend of herbs and spices and the presentation on each plate is just beautiful! We had the Trio of spreads, Gnocchi, Scallops, Octopus and the Pate... Desserts to die for !! Can't wait to go again... reasonably priced and great service staff... Warm inviting decor.... Corner of E Houston and Allen.... Reasonably priced too!!!

Video of D4 hooked to a laptop - Interesting
Terry thanks a ton for that link. This is one of the many features I want to use in the D4. I have a D3 and occasionally shoot tethered (using USB2) but would like to look more into using moreso the wireless features using the WT-5, more than the tethered options (using Ethernet or USB). However, I'm sure they'll be similar.
Has anyone found out yet if you can shoot RAW to one card on the camera and then JPEG to the other AND shoot tethered/wireless and just have someone view the photos on the iPad or a laptop? I already know I can shoot RAW+JPEG to two cards but the problem I had with shooting tethered/wireless before was that 1) the photos didn't save to the card at the same time and 2) the photos take too long to load using the WT-4 or even USB2.

Skin hard as diamond pushed against Dagger's throat. The callouses on his neck kept the diamond texture from making brown flesh bleed green. Delicate time spent training made sure all the vulnerable parts of his body were forged into something tougher. Still, the unpleasant sensation did nothing about his breathing. He tried to slow it, steady it, but the pace of the moment didn't allow the necessary calm to come.
His feet lifted off the ground as his back pressed against the moldy wall. The ferments of the organisms surviving off the city's filth filled his nostrils. A pungent odor only contributed to his difficulty breathing. His hands pushed against the forearm of his attacker, but it did no good. Normally, a push from Dagger knocked the average Maghandi through a couple of steel walls. But he dealth with one of his own. An Imbued.

@uberkatzenLocale: Sudamerica
I've been up in that area twice in the last month and a half. I didn't quite make it to Moose Lake this last time, and left a headlamp behind at a camp site. I'm planning to get back out there this weekend for a light and fast dash to recover my headlamp and camp at Moose Lake.
I'll be overnighting Friday at the Wolverton trail head and setting out Saturday morning by 7AM. Hiking the trail to the Ranger Station near Pear Lake and then overland to the Table Meadows; over another pass and around the South ridge to Moose Lake by Sat night. Returning by the same route on Sunday. It's about 12 miles one way. Going to be clear and sunny but sub-freezing come nightfall.
PM me if yer interested. I can provide logistics, details, etc.

Phoenix's notorious heat does have a few perks. Wet hair dries instantly. Oil bills are dirt-cheap. And its attracted Hell City 10: Let it Burn, a festival celebrating inked, stretched, and pierced flesh at the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.
"Phoenix is perfect for Hell City Tattoo Fest because of the hellish heat," says Hell City GM Tony Terrell. Plus, the weather makes it more comfortable to strip down to get inked by the likes of California's Lucy Hu and Ryan Hadley Studio. But Hell City is more than just a place to meet needle jockeys. Look for special appearances by the Suicide Girls and the AZ Derby Dames, art galleries and industry seminars, and a freak show with Reverend Tommy Gunn. There's even a Heck City play area where kiddies can acquire temporary tats.

Don't know what to doMature
I get up for Lunch. But I don't know why. It's pointless. If I go into that room and Emily once again lead me over to Emets table I'll burst into tears.
Either that or break. Not be able to hold back any longer and have to grip him tight hoping a savoir to come.
Crap, what am I thinking? I stop on my way to the dining room and shake my head. "I should go find Alaric" I mutter then quickly head towards the teacher's dining room.
I knock on the door. "Come in" someone shouts. I open the door and step in. I see Alaric and turn towards him. "Um... Can I speak to you sir?" I say hesitantly.
"Sure" He gets to his feet and leads me out into a quiet room. "Is everything okay?" He offers me a chair and I take it sitting down in front of the desk. He moves round and sits behind it leaning forward.
"I'm not sure sir..... I'm not feeling all to well about fitting it" I say.
"Ah, yes. I've heard about what happened. If you can just keep your telepathy secret you'll be fine" He says with a smile. "Passing you off for a time pauser will be quite easy"
"But what about my other powers?" I ask confused.
"I'm glad you came to see me about that" He says. "At lunch I could give you private lessons if that is what you wish"
"Won't that be strange sir" I say stuttering. He smiles shaking his head.
"Not at all. It's my duty to look after the students who are having a hard time or wish to remain quiet about there abilities" He says.
"Thank you sir" I say standing up. He stands up too and moves round to stand in front of me.
"My pleasure. You meet me in here and we will begin tomorow" He say. Then he shocks me by taking my hand bowing down and kissing the knuckle.
"You will be safe with me Jinx" He whispers looking up at me. I slowly pull my hand away then quickly make my way back out through the teachers dining room.
Was that me or did that seem to weird? I shake my head then march across the courtyard to the diningroom. As I step in my heart twangs and lurches at the sight of Emet but I quickly move on to fetch some food.
When I've got it all I notice Emily on the table. "Come over Jinx" She shouts waving. My eyes flick to Emet who also seems to want me to.
Then I spot Hawk and move over to sit with her at an empty table. "You could of had the best seat. The last one empty was next to Emet" Hawk whispered. I shake my head.
"I can't" I whisper looking up past her at Emet who also seems to be looking at me.

One of the greatest tragedies of Nixon's resignation was that the best hopes for establishing a Middle East in which Israel had the inviolate status of a 51st U.S. state were lost. Just a couple of months before he resigned, Nixon was paraded through the streets of Cairo in an open car to the cheers of millions of Egyptians in spite of his having single-handedly reversed the tide of the Yom Kippur war in Israel's favour only 7 months earlier when he over-ruled both Kissinger and Schlessinger by supplying Israel with the necessary military ordnance (and in Rabin's words, "Saving Israel from destruction in its hour of greatest need"). The Carter administration carried through on Nixon's breakthrough by getting a peace treaty between Israel & Egypt, but Nixon would have gone much further than that and avoided the sort of Arab sectarian divisions that now look irreversible.
If there is one thing Nixon was not, it was "fear-ridden". The man was prepared to undertake risky policies that succeeded in important goals. According to Richard Reeves' biography, Kissinger was derisive of the chances of ever achieving an opening to China. When Haldeman told him Nixon was serious about forging an opening to China, Dr, K. replied "Fat Chance", and told his own staff that Nixon had taken leave of reality. Likewise, in the case of the Yom Kippur War, Nixon knew full well he was risking his presidency if an Arab Oil Boycott materialized when he aided Israel by sending them "everything that flies" and putting the U.S. on a nuclear alert in the Yom Kippur War -- which Kissinger & Schlessinger were fearful of doing. Nixon thought it was a price worth paying for Israel's survival and for the maintenance of U.S. stature vis-avis the U.S.S.R. at a time of nuclear parity.
I recall as if it were just yesterday when I watched Nixon give his resignation speech. He hung tough. As one of our local columnists wrote, "President Richard Nixon had really never looked better." Much is made of the fact that Nixon was devastated shortly before and shortly after that speech, but he looked positively great when he gave it. As Churchill's physician, Lord Moran, said of his most celebrated patient, what had impressed him most about the great man was that he had bouts of shivering anxiety shortly before most of his best 'moments' -- something Moran regarded as the best index of true courage (as opposed to 'dumb insensitivity').
Thanks for the history lesson on Nixon and the Middle East. I've read a bit and knew of his dealings with China and the Soviets but didn't realize he had made such great gains in the Middle East.

The Accused(2000)
A Book by Jeffrey Archer
Jeffrey Archer's latest play, The Accused, is a tense courtroom drama with a difference. The audience will act as the jury, as if they were in the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey. You will have to decide.... Did Dr Sherwood murder his wife? Was Jennifer Mitchell his mistress? Which of his alibis should you believe? The choice will keep you on the edge of your seats, and at the end of the trial you will be invited to deliver your verdict of guilty or not guilty. Once you have made that decision the play will continue - with one of two different endings, depending on your verdict. Only then will you finally discover the truth.

III - Papa ZakaMature
Chapter III: Papa Zaka
He took me toward the buckled off area where two more gorilla stood guard like statues, looking strait forward and not taking notice of us. Zaka sat down on a luxurious leather couch and took two glasses, filling them with rum from the minibar.
"So, you aren't here to lose yourself to the dance or the spirit of the bottle. So I am led to believe that what you seek is information about he who joined the ranks of the ghede recently. Am I right?"
I nodded before explaining. "My father was killed in the night from Sunday to Monday after leaving your bar, I was wondering if you could tell me if anything had happened that might have lead to his death while he was on the premise."
"You have the same eyes as him. George was a common face around here, he would come in every week, drink alone at the bar so I would entertain him and take away his sorrows. he night he left this world however, he wasn't alone. There was a nice lady that he sat with and spoke to until he left. I do not know her, but she had short black hair and was dressed athletically. When he left, she remained here for another hours before leaving."
That meant he was already dead when she left. Damn, I felt like this might have been a dead end after all, unless the woman knew something...
Zaka's eyes turned away from me and he looked at someone behind my back. "Allen, What brings you here my friend?" He exclaimed cheerfully.
I turned around and looked at the new comer with spiky hair, who was wearing cargo pants, a tee and a gothic trench coat with straps over it. Despite the darkness that reign inside of the club, he had a pair of sunglasses on.
He walked closer to Zaka and whispered something which I half-heard about needing something. The black man nodded and went toward the bar, looking around until he found a plastic bottle with dark liquid inside of it.
Allen walked closer, the jewelry around his neck clicking on each others. He took the bottle and shared a handshake with Zaka. "Thanks mate. You're a life saver." He said, handing him a stack of bills before turning around and leaving.
"Please, excuse the intrusion." Zaka said, focusing back on me. "You must be wondering, what just happened. You see, owning and overseeing this club is only a secondary business. I deal in acquiring rare objects for my clients as well as selling special brews to certain person who need them." He explained and I figured he was an actual witch doctor, rather than just posing as one for the club's image.
"It's alright, I understand. Do you have anything else you can tell me about that night?"
"Certainly there is much I can tell you, that I could not tell the police. For they would have no believed my words."
"And what is it?"
"Your father was not killed by man or woman for that matter, but rather he met his death at the hand of a Soucouyant. What Europeans would call a vampire."
I frowned at him, not sure if I was supposed to be amused or annoyed that he was bringing in superstition into a murder case and telling them to the victim's son. He must have seen my expression because he leaned back on the dossier of his seat and raised an eyebrow.
"You do not believe me, do you son?"
"My father was murdered, forgive me for not enjoying legends at the time." I replied, trying to stay cordial which made him snicker.
"You are not from around here, are you? And it seems like your father has not seen fit as to educate yourself about this world. Hear me, son. The true myth is that we are alone in this world. If you lived here, you would be wiser to the howls of the loup-garou and the masquerade of the walking dead that walks the night."
"Alright, I've had enough. Thank you for your time, Mr. Zaka..." I said, sighing as I got up. I tried to turn around and he gripped my hand with both of his' holding on tightly.
"Perhaps you would be best to see the scene of the crime and learn the secrets of the night for yourself. When you leave my establishment, go to the left and walk into the alleys. It was at the crossroad of the two alley that your father met the fiend. Perhaps you shall find it there too." He said with a smile, letting me go.

Clifford Chance's London office has outperformed every other region at the firm, posting a 7.7 per cent revenue hike.
Last year, London posted turnover of £415.8m, representing 45 per cent of the firm's £915m global total, compared with the previous year, when London revenue stood at £386m.
London, which also incorporates Dubai, contributed 45 per cent of the firm's total turnover, with the rest of Europe contributing 33 per cent, the US 15 per cent and Asia 7 per cent.
Partner losses in the firm's US operation saw turnover dip to £138.6m. As a percentage of the global total, this is down from around a quarter in 2003-04.
The German operation also posted a turnover dip of 2.5 per cent, with revenues falling from £105.6m in 2004 to £103m in 2005.
As first revealed on www.thelawyer.com (23 May 2005), global revenues at the magic circle firm slumped for the third year running, with gross fees falling to £915m. However, Clifford Chance posted a profit rise of almost 15 per cent, suggesting that the war on costs, instigated by chief operating officer David Childs, has paid dividends.

Hours from Cairo is a collection of formations even more stunning than the pyramids.
One hundred million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, this was a massive sea.
When the sea receded, it left the remains of billions of tiny sea creatures, which compressed into chalk.
Over the next 20 million years that chalk has worn away, creating these incredible formations.
They are frequently called mushroom caps, but visitors can find all sorts of shapes and faces in the windswept columns.
White desert
These formations are called ventifacts—they form when there is no vegetation to disrupt the punishing wind and sand.
The White Desert became an Egyptian national park in 2002 to protect the fragile area from too many tourists and off-road vehicles, but the revolution in 2011 changed that. The ticket office burned down and park rangers left after not getting paid.
The nearest town is Farafra, situated on an oasis and inhabited by local Bedouins.
Roman pottery scattered through the White Desert suggests traders travelled through it on their journey to Farafra and other oasis towns.
From some vantage points the white sand from the eroded chalk looks like windswept snow, with icebergs bobbing on the horizon.

Wow, that was a really great one shot! . I really liked it, and the twist at the end. Have you ever thought about continuing? I think it would be a really interesting series. You could clarify on how Draco's decision to stay with Hayley affects his future as a Death Eater, etc. etc. I think it would cause some really interesting reactions between all of the characters. But, if you don't want to, this is still a really cute story that could stand on its own.

LinuxCon North America
LinuxCon North America
At the recent LinuxCon North America [1] in Vancouver, Canada, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the start of the Linux Kernel project. Many of the best developers in the community were there, and we had "gala" events celebrating the past 20 years. Although the Linux kernel tends to dominate aspects of computing such as high-performance computing, embedded systems design, and servers, several people acknowledged that we still have not enjoyed "the year of the Linux desktop."
This particular conference stirred up a lot of retrospection. Jon Corbett, who normally does a bang-up job telling us what is new in the Linux kernel, went back a bit in time and showed some of the early timeline issues that almost derailed kernel development. Fortunately, the community was ready to tackle those issues, which tended to be more procedural and structural, concerning how to scale development, than technical, concerning how to scale the kernel itself.
Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger of IBM gave a fascinating view into some of the early meetings that IBM had on the Linux kernel and the decisions that led them to invest that first billion dollars. What was really news to me was the effort IBM made to investigate and view Linux from every angle before making that decision, and one of the main considerations was that "Linux would run on everything." IBM realized that the community would make Linux run on everything from the very smallest computers to the very largest, and to them, this created real value for the OS that could not be matched by any other operating system.

If we compare G20 leaders' latest statement on tax and transparency with what they were saying just two years ago, then the situation today looks encouraging.
G20 countries have finally accepted the need for major reforms on, which tax justice and anti-corruption groups have campaigned for years. They have endorsed the idea that countries should exchange information to catch evaders who hide their money outside the country where they owe tax.
This week's G20 summit in St Petersburg, Russia, also acknowledged that "developing countries must reap the benefits of the G20 tax agenda", including work to stop rampant tax dodging by multinationals.
So far, so good. The catch is that despite the warm words of the declaration, the reforms the G20 backed look likely to benefit only rich and emerging economies.
Despite their strong statements about the importance of developing countries getting their fair share of tax, when it comes to assigning decision-making power, political leaders suddenly develop amnesia.
International negotiations on how to stop multinationals systematically dodging tax are being led by the rich countries' club, the OECD, which published an action plan in July. So far, poor countries have, in effect, been excluded.
Yet they are haemorrhaging $160bn a year as a result of multinational companies dodging tax – far more than they receive in aid. This has devastating consequences for public services such as schools, hospitals and roads – and the millions of people who need them.
Nor has the G20 tried to strengthen the important but under-funded UN tax committee, which is expected to help developing countries participate in the OECD-led talks, but clearly lacks the resources to play that role effectively.
If the voices of developing countries are not heard, the risk is that the OECD project will only benefit more powerful economies. Poor countries, which have a far more unequal struggle against multinationals' destructive "tax planning", will be left out in the cold.
The same is true with plans to get countries to exchange tax information automatically. After years of resistance to demands from campaigners, including the Tax Justice Network and Christian Aid, the G20 seems committed to make this happen sooner rather than later.
It is welcome – but again, rich countries seem tempted to exclude developing countries from progress, with the excuse that they are unable to make effective use of the information they would get from other countries.
Of course many poor countries will need capacity building, but some are more than ready to reasonably comply with all the requirements – and thus also enjoy the benefits – from the outset. The G20 should urgently reconsider its approach here.
Tax and transparency campaigners are also disappointed on other matters. The St Petersburg summit could have built on the progress made at the G8 in June, with decisive steps to stop tax evaders hiding behind shell companies.
If we want to catch and deter tax evaders, and also corrupt officials and other criminals, then we must know who really owns companies, foundations and trusts. The near-silence from the G20 on this matter leaves it to the UK government to lead the way toward the public disclosure of beneficial owners.
If David Cameron was serious about his rousing statements on trade, tax and transparency when he chaired the G8 summit in Lough Erne, he now needs to deliver, knowing that what the UK does will influence the rest of the world. The UK's consultation on whether to make public its new register of beneficial (real) owners ends on 16 September.
The G20 has also done little to improve transparency around multinationals' finances. Getting companies to tell tax authorities about their profits earned and taxes paid in each country where they operate is welcome but insufficient. Many others, including investors and customers, also have the right to know whether companies are paying their fair share of tax.
Crucially, for this to happen, multinationals must be required to publish in their annual reports what profits they earn where and how much taxes they pay, separately for every country in which they work.
Sixty-five years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we continue to see how millions of women, men and children in rich and poor countries are deprived of fundamental human rights, including those to food, health and education.
To end poverty and tackle inequality, tax and transparency rules must work for everyone. And as Kofi Annan has said recently, developing countries have lost their tolerance for being exploited by the rest of the world.

I wasn't late, although a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach told me Xander was. I smiled to myself before pulling out my paintbrush set. Today was the day to paint. I walked over the window and opened the shade. The sun coming up over the mountains was beautiful, and I intended to recreate it to last forever. Or at least for a few more hours.
My paintbrush began to do gently strokes and the instructions on how to create a masterpiece instinctively filled my mind. This was part of my own little world. I stopped for a moment to open the window itself and then turn on my favorite song. Xander had written it for my 14th birthday. I'll treasure it forever.
Before I knew it, class was over. But the painting was finished. It looked exactly like the beauty I had seen. I grabbed my stuff and went to math. Inwardly, I groaned.

CINCINNATI What was significant over last weekend when the Cincinnati Reds swept their games from the St. Louis Cardinals was not only they held the heavy-hitting World Series champions to seven runs.Adding more significance to the achievement was that it was accomplished with the back end of the starting rotation, the young guys.Their best pitcher, Johnny Cueto, was not able to take his turn due to a blister on his index finger. Bronson Arroyo, the teams veteran presence and spiritual sounding board, did not pitch because it wasnt his turn.That left it up to the teams three youngest and most inexperienced starters to face the defending World Series champions Mat Latos, Mike Leake and Homer Bailey.And all three pitched as if it was just another glorious spring training day under a hot Arizona sun as the Reds won by 5-3. 3-2 and 4-2. Each starter slapped a quality start on the Cardinals.You hope that was a watershed period for those pitchers, said manager Dusty Baker. You always want your young pitchers to reach the next level. You just never know when they might reach it. Some never reach it and some reach it sooner than others.In this case all three were pitching in front of sold out crowds in Great American Ball Park with the Cardinals doing some heavy breathing down the Reds necks.Its nice to see all three reach the level they showed, especially in that series because everybody thought, Man, that was like the playoffs, said Baker.When the series ended the Reds were in first place by one game over the Pittsburgh Pirates and knocked the Cardinals from 1 back to 4 back. Mostly, though it was the valuable atmospheric experience those young pitchers received, valuable stuff if the Reds make the playoffs.That was a mini-gauge for their emotions, said Baker. And it came at mid-season. If you are going to go a long ways in the playoffs or to the World Series, you have to get used to the high energy in those kinds of games. You have to put a governor on your emotions. Dont let the atmosphere and your emotions control you, you have to be able to control them if you are going to perform well.That stuff is there, the emotions and adrenaline and pressure. It is really there, Baker added.Of the evolution of the Reds staff, a five-man staff that has gone 89 straight games with the same five pitchers, Baker said, Getting a good five-man staff who goes out there every day and performs well is what you set out to do when you put things together. We decided when we started assembling this staff was to be patient, take our lumps early and hope theyd come together learning from each other, from experience, our pitching coach, our catchers, from me, from (hitting coach) Brook Jacoby and from our hitters.You know, you cant be a very good pitcher if you dont know how hitters think, Baker said. Isnt this how it supposed to be?But it hasnt been in the recent past. Pitching, particularly starters, has not been a button-popping thing in Cincinnati until Baker arrived and more attention was paid to who throws the ball instead of who swings at the ball.Maybe before they didnt have the talent or the patience, said Baker. Before the last four years or so there seemed to be a round-robin on impatience, which is hard to sell to the public. So it was our job to remain patient and see which ones to remain patience with.The Reliable Five: Johnny Cueto is 11-5 with a 2.28 ERA, Mat Latos (acquired by trade from San Diego over the winter) is 7-3 with a 4.33 ERA, Bronson Arroyo is 4-6 with a 4.03 ERA and the victim of low offensive support, Homer Bailey is 8-6 with a 3.93 ERA and on a run of good starts, Mike Leake is 3-6 with a 3.96 ERA and even more of a victim of low offensive backing than Arroyo.While the pitching is uplifting, Baker isnt about to say the finishing touches are on the rotation.Youre never satisfield until its over, he said. Your stuff can go south just as quickly as it can go north especially when you are dealing with young pitchers. You have to stay on em.Making matters much easier has been the health and stability of the rotation. During the first 92 games the Reds have been able to start the same five starters no substitutes, no interlopers.

Oscar Nominations Aside, 'An Education' Makes Me Cringe
This week's Oscar nominations have been kind to the Nick Hornby penned film "An Education," which netted honors for acting, writing, and even Best Picture. The film tells the story of a bright middle-class schoolgirl in a humdrum town in mid-century Britain, who falls into an affair with a cultured, attractive and winning older man named David Goldman. Yep, he's Jewish. He also ends up being a sneaky, lying, conniving criminal who has deceived our naive protagonist and her family and led her off her dogged path to success which includes an Oxford acceptance.
I enjoyed the earnest acting and the quiet drama of the film, which was so accurate and true to the mindsets of teenage girls. In fact, I could almost overlook Hornby's somewhat obvious writing and the stereotypical portrayal of the Jewish character, but not quite. Gabrielle Birkner did a great job interviewing Hornby for the Forward back in December, but his responses didn't quite clear away all my discomfort with the way the Goldman character fits into problematic conceptions of Jewishness. I'm not saying it's a blatantly antisemitic film, because it has a very sympathetic and humane approach to all its characters, even towards Goldman who's played brilliantly by Peter Saarsgard. I'm just saying it's a little too close for comfort to antisemitic tropes.
As a huge fan of Brit-lit and British TV, this film struck me as portraying Jews in a vintage British way. It reminded me of 19th century novels by Trollope, Dickens, Walter Scott and even the well-intentioned George Eliot. In these novels, the Jew is the dynamic, seductive outsider, with winning ways that subvert or circumvent the staid class system and strict social manners of the gentile Brits. The exotic Jew throws stuck-in-the-mud British society into relief, maybe shakes people up a bit, but ends up being incompatible with their lives — usually he or she proves untrustworthy or too exotic for England.
This isn't quite the same image of the Jewish character we see on this side of the pond — pushy, nebbishy, neurotic. There's a lot of historical, cultural, and sociological analysis to explain how such stock types are absorbed into different cultures. But the end result just goes to show us that ethnic and racial anxieties vary from place to place, and have way more to do with the stereotypers than the stereotypees.
Your Comments
The Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, The Forward requires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles. Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not and will be deleted. Egregious commenters will be banned from commenting.

Carson Nissan Is Here to Help You Handle the Recall Process
Carson Nissan is an authorized Nissan Service Center that's ready to take care of your Nissan OCS recall needs free of charge.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) software has been incorrectly detecting when the passenger seat is occupied, which has led to faulty airbag deployments during crashes in certain models. The system may classify the seat as empty when there's a passenger in the seat. This deactivates the airbag and has led to serious injuries. This recall requires Nissan owners to bring their vehicles in to dealers to update the OCS software free of charge.
Recall Process at Carson Nissan
If Nissan notifies you via letter that your vehicle is being recalled, you have to bring it to a service center to have it fixed.
