Saturday. Welcome to Jordan and the start of your holiday! Upon arrival in Amman you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
Overnight: Amman
Roman Cities & Ruins
Amman - Jerash - Umm Qais - Amman. Driving north, we visit the awesome Roman ruins of Jerash. The 2,000 year-old Graeco-Roman ruins of Jerash are recognised as one of the best-preserved member cities of the Decapolis, a confederation of 10 Graeco-Roman cities. When Emperor Hadrian paid a visit in 129 AD, the place was buzzing. The citizens threw up a Triumphal Arch for him which still stands today. Exemplifying the finesse of Roman urban life, the town boasts a hippodrome the old sports field that once held 15,000 spectators, a stunning amphitheatre and colonnaded street paved with original stones and the rut marks of chariots. From here, we travel to the modern town of Umm Qais, which is the site of the ancient Graeco-Roman town of Gadara, one of the cities of the Decapolis with panoramic views over the Sea of Galilee.
Overnight: Amman | Breakfast, Dinner
Mt Nebo & the Promised Lands
Amman - Madaba - Mount Nebo - Umm ar Rasas - Petra. Today we tour the citadel and Archaeological Museum of Amman before we take a walk through the bustling local souk to enjoy typical Jordanian street treats of falafel and hummus at the country's most popular local street stand. As the pictures on the wall will prove, the unglamorous food stand was a great favourite of the late King Hussein.
Leaving Amman we'll stop first at Mt. Nebo, the site from which Moses saw the Promised Land. Having led the Israelites for 40 years through the wilderness, Moses finally saw them from this awesome vantage point. This amazing panorama includes the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea, Jericho and the spires and domes of the Mt. of Olives and Bethlehem on the Judean hills just across the wide valley. Later we visit Madaba en route to Petra where we see the Church of St George, the Madaba Archaeological Park, Apostles Church and Madaba Museum.
Our next port of call is Um ar-Rasas, one of Jordan's World Heritage sites and once an important stop on the busy caravan routes. The impressive mosaic floor of the St. Stephen Church features medallions commemorating all the early Christian pilgrimage sites of the region, and the extensive ruins also include one of the area's earliest Stylite towers, where a Byzantine hermit lived atop the tower and preached to the pilgrimage visitors.
Our final stop of the day is Petra. Consider doing a Petra by Night excursion (payable locally) for a tantalizing candlelight stroll through Petra's Siq….a romantic preview of things to come.
Overnight: Petra | Breakfast
The Rose City
Petra. Chief among Jordan's many archaeological riches is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rose City of Petra. Rediscovered in 1812 by the young Swiss explorer Jean Louis Burckhardt, it remains on the list of many travellers. We access the hidden archaeological treasures of the Rose City on a walk through a narrow, deep siq, where the rocks finally give way to reveal the Treasury of Petra. It's natural to have an Indiana Jones moment here as it was this building that served as the Holy Grail's resting place and the prize Indy so coveted. Petra is an erosion–hewn masterpiece. Sandstone shot with minerals burst into colour giving off blue, red, orange and green hues. The intrepid can ascend the hundreds of rock-cut steps to Ad-Deir. Better known as the Monastery, Ad-Deir has a similar facade to that of the Treasury, but is far bigger and the views from the nearby cliff-tops are awesome.

Overnight: Petra | Breakfast
Wadi Rum
Petra - Wadi Rum. This morning return to Petra for further exploration before we depart for Wadi Rum. A vast, silent landscape of ancient riverbeds, pastel coloured stretches of sandy desert and amazing rock formations known as jebels that rise from the desert floor, the desert landscape of Wadi Rum is an unspoiled natural beauty, forged by millions of years of geological formation, erosion and evolution. Boarding 4x4 jeeps, we take a safari through the sand dunes, getting up close and personal to the surrounding scenery. Tonight, we enjoy a Jordanian dinner with the opportunity to camp out under the stars (it you wish) or in permanent tents.
Overnight: Wadi Rum | Breakfast, Dinner
Dead Sea & Wadi Mujib
Wadi Rum - Karak – Wadi Mujib - Dead Sea. After breakfast at the campsite, we head north along the Desert Highway. Taking a drive through the busy market town of Karak under the towering shadows of the Karak Crusader Castle, descending some 1300 meters to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth's surface. More than 500 meters below sea level, the mineral-rich Dead Sea is the world's original health and beauty spa. Drift out and bob in the waters and slap on some of the famous black Dead Sea mud to give your skin an invigorating boost.
For departures between April and October we'll head up the King's Highway to Wadi Mujib. We'll embark on a moderate paced two hour trek along the Siq Trail. Measuring 500 metres in depth and spanning 4 kilometres across, the impressive Wadi Mujib is one of Jordan's most remarkable natural features. This dramatic canyon features sheer rocky walls and sparkling waterways that range from puddle height to depths that are perfect for swimming trails. The canyon is just one feature of the Mujib Biosphere Reserve, the lowest nature reserve in the world, home to a surprising diversity of wildlife and plant species. After our trek we make our way to the Dead Sea.
Overnight: Dead Sea | Breakfast
Dead Sea
The lowest point on the earth's surface at 400m below sea level, the Dead sea is a natural phenomena and high on most travellers' bucket lists. Lucky for us we have a whole day to spend here, whiling away the time bobbing in its mineral-rich buoyant waters and lathering up with a detoxifying mud bath. Later today there will be an optional visit to the Ma'in hot springs - a series of waterfalls and hot springs, and a sacred baptism site where Jesus Christ is thought to have been baptised (book locally).
Overnight: Dead Sea | Breakfast
Red Sea R&R
This morning we drive to the resort town of Aqaba and 15km further south to the idyllic beaches of Tala Bay. Upon arrival we enjoy an included hotel buffet dinner. Spend the next two days at leisure. Swim, snorkel, dive or simply relax. Azure blue waters brimming with kaleidoscopic marine life are a real attraction here on Jordan's Red Sea coast line. Why not undertake some scuba diving or snokelling?
Overnight: Aqaba/Tala Bay | Breakfast x 2, Dinner x 1
Beachside & onward to Amman
Tala Bay - Amman. Spend the day at the beach or pool. Alternatively head out for a last minute shopping and or souvenir hunting. Both Aqaba and Tala Bay are located within Jordan's a Duty Free Zone making this the ideal place to purchase alcohol, perfume, cosmetics and many other duty free items. Afternoon transfer to Amman and evening at leisure.
Overnight: Amman | Breakfast
Tuesday. Amman - Amman airport. Our tour concludes after breakfast, bid farewell to Jordan and onward departure transfer to Amman's Queen Alia airport.

Britney and Her Mom, "Slap It Out, B*tch"
Star magazine reports that Britney and her mother's bad blood is the result of a physical altercation that took place in the middle of June between the two. Described as a "shocking slapfest," the two duked it out, leaving "Lynne shaken and Britney more determined than ever to cut her mother out of her life for good." Juicy. Tell me more. Well, all right…on the date in question:
"Lynne barged into the house and insisted on taking the kids out to spend some private time with them," an insider told the tab. "She didn't ask or suggest, she demanded!" says the insider. "Then she began denigrating Britney's mothering skills and losing her temper at the same time!"
This mysterious source revealed that this scuffle resulted in Britney serving her mother with legal papers and bad poetry (ouch). Word has it that Mama Spears is contemplating filing a countersuit of her own, but is holding back because she believes her daughter is simply lashing out as a result of her depression. Wow. That is actually quite sad. But seriously, Lynne, I'd get all the available umbrellas out of the house, next time you two talk. Just to be safe.

Fiscal Responsibility
My fellow Texans:
A recent study by the National Federation of Independent Business reveals something I think most taxpayers already knew: The cost of state government has risen sharply across America - including Texas.
Even when you adjust for the rise in inflation and the growth in the Texas population, state spending has increased by more than 48 percent from the mid-1980s to the end of the last decade.
Some newspaper headlines might have you believing that the state has less money to work with this budget cycle. But as a matter of fact, if the Legislature holds the line on spending at $58 billion as proposed by the House of Representatives, it would still represent a 66 percent increase in spending from the budget just ten years ago.
I suspect that if I asked you and your family if you could live within your means - if your income rose by 66 percent over the next decade - you'd certainly jump at the chance to prove you could.
As legislators in Austin continue the budget debate, I urge them to take the very same approach of Texas families and small businesses: Spend what you can afford and not one cent more.
Many representatives and senators have come a long way toward balancing the budget without raising taxes on you, your family or your business. I commend them for the hard work and encourage them to affirm their commitment to holding the line on spending.
Yes, it would be easy to keep spending what we have always spent and to raise taxes to support a growing spending habit in Austin, but that's not leadership - no matter how loudly big government proponents holler.
Texas families and the men and women who create jobs at our small businesses elected their leaders to invest in priorities, to limit spending and to keep taxes low.
I want to encourage legislators to continue on the course to fiscal responsibility and to heed the voice of people like you who not only want responsive government, but responsible government.

US PC Gamer - Skyrim #2 Game of All Time
View Single Post
February 5th, 2012, 22:41
Basically, it's a list of the top 100 games that the editors would recommend right now. It's NOT a list of the top 100 games for their time. You've also got to remember that there are only five of these guys and they aren't exactly the oldest guys in gaming.
Still, there are some odd things. Planescape and Arcanum got on the list but Baldur's Gate didn't?
The only two game adverstisements in the entire magazine were for World of Tanks (didn't make the list) and Jagged Alliance: Back in Action (Jagged Alliance 2 got number 69). The vast majority of their adverts are for hardware sales.

A deciduous species, which has white or rosy-white, sweet-scented flowers.
Wonderfully, magically silent, fresh and sweet-scented and dark!
There were four wooden chairs in the box of the wagon, and the floor was strewn with sweet-scented timothy and clover.
It knew, I suppose, how beautiful and sweet-scented they were.
We just got a glimpse through a break in the rocks of its cork, orange, and citron groves, surrounded with sweet-scented shrubs.
She explained to us, therefore, the nature and properties of this sweet-scented tree.
And there they sat like a king and queen under the sweet-scented tree, which still looked like an elder bush.
The grass was short, springy, sweet-scented, and Asphodel-interspersed.
The plant stood two or three feet high, and the sweet-scented flowers were in whorls of five or six on a stem.
Some trees bore fruit, but most of them sweet-scented leaves.

One has moved in near my house. It screams/screeches. Wakes up neighbors' and our dogs. Its like having a small animal screaming and dying outside your window. Its 1:36am, how do I kill it?
One has moved in near my house. It screams/screeches. Wakes up neighbors' and our dogs. Its like having a small animal screaming and dying outside your window. Its 1:36am, how do I kill it?
JDAM.... or pellet gun, whatever. Call animal control. F***ers are annoying as hell.
Get one of those catch-and-release cages?
Hmmm...looked them up; I guess they're less cat than I thought. From the size, it looks like you'll need more than a pellet gun; .22 at least.
"You're out of you're mind"
"That's between me and my mind..."
I thought you were talking about a real "cat" and was going to say call animal control. Google is great- im not too into killing animals myself, however I would not stand for something like that. A .22 would do the job quickly, however if you put some paintballs near it- maybe hit it once I dont think it would stick around.
That is the first time I've ever heard of such an animal.
Quote, originally posted by euclid » That is the first time I've ever heard of such an animal.
Same here. They look kinda cute, but that sound is awful.
I had never heard of that animal until now.
When I heard its call I couldn't help but laugh. It's a bizarre sound.
Take off and nuke it from orbit. Its the only way to be sure...
No guns I need a liscense for. Not 21 and I live in MA. Trying to do this cheaply.
Dunno what game there is for it to hunt, this is suburbia.
See if you can find a trapper around you. I'd bet they'd get decent money for the pelt, so they'd be willing to help you out.
what about a paintball gun with pepperballs? won't kill it, but it might motivate it to set up shop elsewhere.

Peanut butter and rat poison/antifreeze usually works fine.
If it's out in the open maybe try hitting it with a large rock? haha
Where you see it hanging out go out there when he isnt home and mess the area up. usually the smell of human scent is enough to make him leave but you can give him some motovation. Otherwise listerine I hear pisses animals off.
Cry once....

Fishers clawing way back in area
Many small pets falling prey to the cat
By John Dignam TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
[Picture that didn't copy.]
Wildlife officials report that fishers are common in many areas of the state.
[Picture that didn't copy.]
Wildlife officials report that fishers are common in many areas of the state.
SOUTHBRIDGE The days of just opening the back door and letting your cat or dog out are gone, Animal Control Officer Sandra L. Provost says. If you care for your pets, keep them inside.
Those pets, especially cats, could fall prey to coyotes or, increasingly, fishers, also known as fisher cats.
Ms. Provost believes the return of the fisher is playing a role in the towns missing cats.
Absolutely, she said. Theyre here, theyre in town, and theyre walking off with peoples pets.
Although pet cats are not licensed here and records are not kept on reports of missing felines, Ms. Provost estimates about 50 cats have disappeared over the past three or four years.
And Im getting a lot more calls recently, she said.
Both the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and the Massachusetts Audubon Society report that fishers are common in many areas of the state and that reports of them in populated areas are increasing.
Theyre not a problem unless youre an outdoor cat or a small mammal, said Linda Cocca of the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
She said fishers, coyotes and great horned owls prey on cats and, occasionally, small dogs, as well as other small mammals.
She noted that automobiles, too, take a toll on cats and dogs.
We get a lot of calls from Weston and two years ago a man sent me a photo of a fisher cat in a tree in Brookline, said Ms. Cocca, wildlife information coordinator for the society.
I suspect its just as easy for them to get food mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks in populated areas as it is in areas where there arent a lot of people, Ms. Cocca said.
Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife biologist Bridgett McAlice said people who let their cats roam free are putting them in the food chain.
She said fishers will eat anything, including squirrels, rabbits, birds and eggs and that they will raid chicken coops.
Fishers are not members of the cat family, according to information from Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
They are the second largest member of the weasel family in Massachusetts; only the river otter is larger. The weasel family also includes mink and skunks. Fishers are 32 to 40 inches long, with 12- to 16-inch tails and long, slender bodies and short legs, according to the two organizations.
The animals live in trees, like forested areas, dont like open areas and are not susceptible to rabies.
Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife recommends that people secure trash, garbage, compost and pet food, all of which fisher cats and other wildlife will eat. It also notes that while fishers dont eat bird seed that people put out, they do eat the small mammals the seed attracts.
Fisher cats were driven out of the Northeast in the 1700s and 1800s because of land clearing and trapping.
According to the Massachusetts Audubon Society, logging companies reintroduced fisher cats in northern New England in the 1950s to target porcupines, which were eating seedlings. The fisher cat is the only animal known to deliberately prey on porcupines.
The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection started reintroducing fisher cats in Connecticut in 1988. It sold wild turkeys that had been trapped for release in Maine and used the reimbursement to buy fisher cats that had been caught by trappers in New Hampshire and Vermont.
Ms. Provost said she sighted her first fisher cat four or five years ago and has seen them a half dozen times since in various areas of town.
She said the animals are solitary, elusive and rarely seen.
Wildlife is learning to live with us a lot quicker than were learning to live with them, said Ms. Provost, who noted that bobcats and bears also have been spotted here and that a few years ago she was called to pick up a wolf that had been hit by a car on Stafford Street in Charlton.
Ms. Cocca said the Audubon Society has gotten a lot of calls recently about fisher cats, often from people who have seen the animal but didnt know what it was.
She said she was unaware of any reports of the animals threatening humans, but noted that as with all wildlife, people should kind of back off if they find themselves near them.
They (fisher cats) just want to get away and are perfectly happy to run up a tree.
Connecticut started a regulated trapping season for fisher cats this year. The animals can be trapped in Massachusetts from Nov. 1 to Nov. 22.

Fisher cats endanger outdoor pets in R.I.
WESTERLY, R.I. Mike Andreozzi had just stepped outside to check on his familys beloved Pomeranian when he saw what appeared to be a large cat grab it from his lawn.
He has since learned that the little dog was probably taken by a fisher cat. Fishers, which are actually members of the weasel family, are becoming more common in Westerly and other populated areas of western Rhode Island.
Fishers nearly died out in the 1800s after forests were cleared and they were hunted for fur. But reforestation allowed them to repopulate southern New England, according to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Then, as natural habitats were developed, they moved into areas with more people.
Animal Control Officer Thomas Gulluscio said he has received numerous calls about fishers as well as coyotes. Residents have found the half-eaten carcasses of two dogs, and some reported losing sheep.
Fishers can grow as large as 12 pounds and 40 inches long. Hard to spot because they can climb trees, they emit a sound that reminds some people of a babys cry.
People should not let their pets out alone or leave garbage or food where wild animals can get it, officers say.
Because fishers are a protected species, they cannot be hunted. However, Rhode Island law allows homeowners to kill them to protect domestic pets, livestock and property. The dead animal must be turned over to the state Division of Fish and Wildlife.
honestly. if i were my job to eliminate one of those things i'd use a suppressed 9mm. Jacketed Hollow Points would do the trick.
*SNAP* *SNAP* and no more Fisher Cat!
"We're society's crowbar. They hate us, they never want to acknowledge the dirty jobs they give us to do, but when the job is done they never throw us away - they just slip us back in the toolbox until they need us the next time. And there will always be a next time."-Jim Hooper. Beneath the Visiting Moon: Images of Combat in Southern Africa

Kumamoto Prefecture advised residents to stay indoors or wear masks if they go outside Tuesday in the nation's first official health warning over heavy smog drifting in from China.
Kumamoto officials said the quality of air was likely to be substantially below national standards, amid warnings of health risks for the young and the sick.
Of specific concern is the concentration of PM2.5, or particulate matter 2.5 microns or less in diameter, which has been as high as 50 micrograms per cubic meter in several parts of Kyushu.
The government-set safety limit is 35 micrograms. The Environment Ministry last week said local authorities should issue warnings when concentrations rise to an average of 70 micrograms per hour.
The Kumamoto Prefectural Government said local readings were as high as 110 micrograms in some places Tuesday morning.
It advised local residents to stay indoors and not to exercise outside, while encouraging them to wear surgical masks if they ventured out.
A thick fog of pollution has blanketed Beijing and other Chinese cities a number of times over recent weeks.
Last month, Japanese media reported a swirl of pollution was making its way to Japan from China, further complicating already-strained relations between Tokyo and Beijing exacerbated by a territorial dispute.
Kyodo News reported Tuesday that the environment ministers of Japan, China and South Korea will meet in May to discuss ways to combat pollution.
The toxic haze that blankets China has been blamed on emissions from coal-fired power stations as well as exhaust fumes from vehicles on the traffic-clogged streets of the world's largest auto market.
Scientists say prevailing winds are carrying airborne particles from the Asian mainland to Japan.
The phenomenon was first observed with the fine yellow sand from the deserts of Mongolia and China that accumulates on cars and buildings in Japan at certain times of the year.

Record snow fall blankets Moscow
By Olga Petrova
MOSCOW (Reuters Life!) - Russians may have scoffed at what U.S. President Barack Obama called "snowmageddon" earlier this month on his country's east coast, but now Muscovites have been stunned by a snow fall that has broken their own 1966 record.
Four days of blizzards dumped 67 cm (26 inches) across the Russian capital by Tuesday, breaking the Feb record of 64 cm experienced at the height of the Cold War 44 years ago, and much more is expected this week, the Moscow weather bureau said.
Blinding flurries of thick wet flakes have horrified and delighted Muscovites alike, who usually take pride in their freezing, long winters which far exceed other European cities.
"It (the snow) is beautiful, but it creates problems in the city because it is impossible to remove all the snow here," said Moscow resident Yelena, her face framed by a red fur hood.
The office of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov said it had dispatched 15,000 snow-clearing machines and 5,000 street-cleaners for the sprawling city of 10.4 million.
A cacophony of snow tractor motors and scraping metal shovels has overtaken the city's usual buzz of car horns.
State-run RIA Novosti agency said the number of cars in the auto-thirsty Russian capital has fallen by a third since the snow started, meaning fewer accidents than usual on the roads.
The mayor's office added that almost half a million cubic meters of snow had been cleared away to be melted in special facilities -- enough to fill around 200 Olympic swimming pools. Continued...

Throwing Collectors A CurveWilly Stern
To a true fan, the ad in the Oct. 27 edition of Sports Collectors Digest was a dream come true. Stan's Sports Memorabilia Inc. of Caldwell, N.J., was offering baseballs signed by Baltimore Orioles iron man Cal Ripken Jr. for $39.95--less than half what the balls cost elsewhere.
Dream on. "Stan's selling a fake signature, not even a very good fake," says Ira Rainess, counsel to the Tufton Group, exclusive licensee for Ripken autographs, and an expert on the shortstop's signature. Rainess examined a ball purchased from Stanley Fitzgerald, an Essex County (N.J.) Sheriff's Office detective who moonlights as co-owner of Stan's Sports. Fitzgerald says if the signatures are fake, he's an innocent victim. He says he bought the balls and other signed Ripken merchandise from a California wholesaler.
BUSY WRITERS. For most of the century, collecting sports memorabilia meant saving your favorite baseball cards in a shoebox or using a chance encounter with Joe DiMaggio to get an autograph for your kid. No more. Athletes began signing for cash at card shows in the late 1970s. A hot ballplayer can now get $50 apiece signing balls directly for fans. In addition, top athletes today systematically sign thousands of baseballs, footballs, and hockey pucks a year that go straight to wholesalers. That has pushed sales of sports collectibles close to $2 billion a year and caused legal problems of a different sort for other big-name ball players. Former Brooklyn Dodger Duke Snider agreed to pay a $5,000 fine earlier this month for tax evasion stemming from the practice. "People now see these items as investments, not souvenirs," says Thomas Mortenson, editor of Sports Collectors Digest. "Twenty years ago, that was unheard of."
Collectors scour the market for signed trinkets, driven not by love of a sports hero but by visions of hitting a home run on the collectibles circuit. Sotheby's began handling sports memorabilia in 1991, the year it sold a Honus Wagner baseball card for $451,000. A Babe Ruth bat went for $63,000 three years later. But along with the commercialization has come fraud--fake signatures churned out by unscrupulous dealers. "All you need is an 89 cents Bic pen, a $4 baseball, and you're in business," says Rainess.
Ripken has recently become a favorite among the con artists. He broke into the top tier of collectibility last summer when he broke Lou Gehrig's record for most consecutive games played. But since he only signs around 8,000 balls a year--a fifth of what other big names pen--there's little Ripkeniana around. That has helped create a frenzied trade in bogus Ripken collectibles. Rainess estimates that sales of fake Ripken collectibles could reach $15 million this year, compared with just $5 million for the real stuff.
Unlike many athletes, Ripken, who earns $6 million a year from the Orioles and about $2 million in endorsements, refuses to sign for cash at card shows. He does a few bulk signings for Score Board Inc., the exclusive source for Ripken's signed merchandise, based in Cherry Hill, N.J. Score Board wholesales signed Ripken balls for around $70. "It should send up a bright red warning flag to any collector if anybody is selling Ripken baseballs in bulk for less than $60," says Chief Executive Ken Goldin.
CERTIFIED FAKES? There should be plenty of those red flags. "We see guys in here every month trying to pawn off fake Ripken stuff," says Thomas Lyddane of Burton's Baseball Cards & Coins in Frederick, Md. And forged baseballs aren't the only Ripken ripoff. Mick & Menu Inc. in Santa Ana, Calif., advertises lithographs of Ripken by artist Angelo Marino and "autographed" by the baseball great. Cost: more than $1,000. But Ripken never signed the lithographs, says his spokesman. Marino says he sold the lithographs to Mick & Menu unautographed. Mick & Menu didn't return phone calls.
Most dealers, including Fitzgerald, will take back merchandise if buyers have doubts. But few victims want to believe they've been duped. Maryland's Consumer Protection Div. hasn't received a single complaint concerning Ripken fakes. Most dealers offer a certificate of authenticity with their goods. "Don't be fooled," warns Steven Rotman, president of Sports Collectibles Association International. "Those certificates are only as good as the person who's giving them out." After all, it's not much harder to sign a certificate than it is to autograph a baseball.


text: KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With Japan and South Korea being among the first few membrane system manufacturers and the few top suppliers globally, the water and wastewater treatment (WWWT) markets in these countries are well developed and approaching maturity. The highly competitive domestic market and strong demand in overseas markets are making a strong case for key companies in Japan and South Korea to shift their business focus to foreign markets. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.environmental.frost.com), Market for Membrane Technologies Used in Water and Wastewater Treatment in Japan and South Korea , finds that the market earned revenues of US$325.4 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach US$639.4 million in 2017. Intense economic activities boost the demand for WWWT. "Limited space availability for infrastructure is the primary factor determining the choice of technology for WWWT facilities," said Frost & Sullivan Research Associate Janice Wung. "With membrane technologies enabling the use of decentralised water and wastewater treatment systems that offer the benefits of smaller footprint, ease of operation, and automation, the market for membrane technologies looks promising." However, the market is pegged back by higher operating and maintenance costs than conventional technologies'. Hence, customers prefer the more economically priced traditional technologies. Further, being the trailblazers in this market, participants in Japan and South Korea have extensive knowledge of the technology. Their know-how intensifies domestic competition, compelling participants to innovate proactively. Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration are expected to be the future buzzwords in the membrane technologies for WWWT market, with both segments witnessing rapid growth. "Key market players have been strongly focusing on technological advancement through their robust R&D activities to earn their place not only in the domestic market, but in the international market as well," noted Wung.

He is Not Here, He is Risen
from Chris Donato Apr 25, 2011 Category: ArticlesMany Christians seem content to leave Jesus on the cross, while the resurrection often suffers from neglect. That the cross receives so much attention, however, is not without warrant. After all, the event was the "one act of righteousness" that led "to justification and life for all men" (Rom. 5:18). That is to say, the one Man's act of righteousness is the climactic act of Jesus' life-long fidelity to His Father's will and purpose, when He offered up His life for His people. Keep Reading
Why was Jesus raised from the dead?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 24, 2011 Category: ArticlesIt is a good thing to enter into the pathos of the disciples during those dark days between the crucifixion and the resurrection. It is easy for us to forget that they haven't read the rest of the story. We live on this side of the resurrection, and its explication in Scripture. We have Truth revealed. They had only anguish and uncertainty. They had lost their Lord. Their trouble, however, was not ultimately that they missed Jesus. Their heartache was rooted in something more substantial than personal sadness. Keep Reading
The End of the World According to Harold Camping (Part 4)
from W. Robert Godfrey Apr 23, 2011 Category: ArticlesCamping's calculations and allegorical readings eventually led him to a truly heretical conclusion: that the age of the church was over and that all Christians were required to separate themselves from all churches. I had rather admired him over the years for not making himself a minister without proper education. I had never dreamed that he would instead abolish the pastoral office and the church. Keep Reading
The End of the World According to Harold Camping (Part 3)
from W. Robert Godfrey Apr 21, 2011 Category: ArticlesCamping's knowledge of Bible verses and confidence led many to follow him as their only leader and teacher. He had become their guru. It is interesting how often people seek someone to follow unquestioningly. This reality has been called the Fuehrerprinzip or the leader principle. Whether a false prophet or a political leader or an intellectual authority, many people want someone whom they can follow simply and blindly. For some listeners to Family Radio, Camping became their leader or guru. Keep Reading
The End of the World According to Harold Camping (Part 2)
from W. Robert Godfrey Apr 20, 2011 Category: ArticlesCamping's reading of the Bible led him to a curiously self-contradictory method which is at some times excessively literal and at other times wildly allegorical. As an engineer he has had a particular interest in the numbers in the Bible. It is this interest that has led him to reach conclusions about the date of the end of the world. His first date was 1994 and he wrote a book showing the method by which he reached this date and to show how certain it was. Since then he has come to certain conclusions about several other dates, some of which he made public and some of which he did not. His repeated failures in calculating the end of the world have not led to repentance on his part or any basic revision of his method of interpreting the Bible. Keep Reading
A Primer on Inerrancy (pt. 7)
from John Gerstner Apr 20, 2011 Category: ArticlesIn this excerpt from John Gerstner's Primitive Theology, Dr. Gerstner looks at the issue of inerrancy and seeks briefly and non-technically to present a case for Bible Inerrancy that a serious-minded layman can follow and evaluate. Though by no means an exhaustive treatment, it is one that is sound and faithful to the Scriptures. This is the sixth part of the series. Dr. Gerstner has looked at four unsound bases for sound doctrine and is now in the midst of a discussion of a sound basis for sound doctrine. Keep Reading

Re: Greetings from Buzzard Point
BTW. I've been sailing for a while. - In the Bahamas and northern Australia. I love boats and wish I knew a lot more about how to fix them.
Greetings from Buzzard Point
I actually work at Buzzard Point at the bottom end of Washington DC...I live on the Chesapeake Bay and sail on the Patuxent River off Broomes Island. I have a sweet little Siren 17 that I keep in a sweet little marina full of power boats - thats why I call her Missfit...
Lately Missfit has been having a rough go of it...earlier this summer she lost her mast when the starbord stay snapped. We were under sail - which was a bit of a shock for me and the two girls I was sailing with. I got her rigged back up again but it came off this past Saturday night while she was tied up at the dock. It's been very frustrating and I don't know if I'm going to be able to fix her...the aluminum was ripped off. Any advice on finding a new mast step would be most appreciated.

I'm new to this group and have enjoyed reading many posts.
Just wanted to make a few observations based on experience and basic constitutional premises.
I have read many posts concerning denial of gun permits for many different reasons from many different states.
Here are a few observations and a little advice.
1) Personally, I would not post specifics of your situation if you plan to appeal a denial. Cyber space is forever. You would be surprised at what the state police fire arms division will use at your appeal which is NOT limited to the official record.
2) Attorneys don't work for free. Any legal advice found on forums should not be considered accurate. Attorneys = Access which is what we pay for when we hire one.
Now my rant based on experience:
Given the current state of political and social atmosphere in this country, denial of a gun permit seems to be the standing order of the day for U.S Citizens.
If one examines (Black Letter Law) concerning who can or can not carry a weapon, we see there is great latitude given to the local and state agencies in their decision process.
Obviously felons, domestic abuse charges are clearly stated and knock one out of the running,,as it should be. Beyond this however is where we enter into nebulous reasoning to deny one a permit at the expense of rights granted to U.S citizens.
Many of you as have I, have taken the time to read the state legal codes regarding precisely what causes a denial; yet many are perplexed as to why they were denied when there seems to be no clear reason or reasons. Any explanations provided by the state are a real stretch if any reason is even given! "Not a proper person" can and is quite vague.
Gun permit laws need to be re-written; period. (i.e) "Any class A misdemeanor committed within 5 yrs" "Any class B misdemeanor committed within 7 yrs" etc...etc...These are just examples only for clear laws.
Yes, we all have the right to appeal. The success rate of such appeals is very very small.
By each state writing clear and concise gun permit laws, the fire arms licensing divisions would find their work load greatly reduced as one would now be aware who qualifies to carry and who does not.
At this juncture however; local and state authorities may as well throw darts at a balloon in there decision making process.
The appeals process will 99% of the time follow the recommendation of law enforcement. This is where the inequality begins. A local sheriff etc can deny you for all sorts of NON LEGAL reasons.
Is it fair? Of course not. Does it happen? Yes! Constantly.
Lawyers: Lawyers work within the system. They have to get along with as many people as possible within this system. If anyone truly believes attorneys work in your best interest; they need a reality check.
Look at the stats if we can believe them.
In 1980, 46% of Americans requested permits. In 2011 that number was at 36%. This is quite telling if the numbers are accurate.
Is there an answer? Yes!
Be very very wealthy or politically connected. Any less than this we can expect little if any real protection of our rights.
Do what you can and then do what you must.

NRA Calls for Universal Gun Law
Reciprocity for gun owners was a hot topic at the National Rifle Association's convention in Indianapolis over the weekend.
For many gun-toting Texans, they find its a hassle when other states don't recognize their conceal carry permit. They're calling on Congress to pass a universal concealed carry law.
"The laws are so convoluted from state to state, and because there's no federal oversight and now overshadowing federal law, you would have to study up any given state you were going to go to before feeling confident enough taking a handgun with you," says Patrick Woods is with Spring Guns and Ammo.
Opponents fear reciprocity would allow more lenient gun regulations to trump stricter ones.
Alice Tripp at the Texas State Rifle Association insists that isn't true, adding some cities already have stricter gun laws than their state.
Still, she believes gun owners need a streamlined approach to handgun licenses, pointing out at least one state does not accept permits from Texas because we issue them to military veterans younger than 21.
"I'm told that little glitch is why we don't have reciprocity with Nevada," she tells KTRH News. "So, that could be corrected with this."
The real issue is whether Congress will act. Tripp has her doubts.
"Its strictly political, its not public safety issues, it is wholly politics," she says.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety website, the Lone Star State currently has reciprocal agreements with just 30 other states.

Rosemary and I are both panicking about our energy bills. How gigantic are they going to be? We don't know because EDF won't tell us. It has sent no bills, only an explanatory 15-page booklet and leaflets. Rosemary tried hers first: she studied it carefully until her brain began to flake and her eyes nearly bled, and then rang up babbling about recharging keys, gas cards, cyclocontrol, daytime, night-time and other tariffs that "may be available as Green Tariff and/or Climate Balance versions, but again these tariffs are no longer available for installation".
So I looked at my booklet. It reminded me of those horrid little logarithm books of my childhood – pages and pages of numbers that need working out, so I had a little try, and then I threw it on the floor, because none of the tables applies to the "standard" tariff anyway, and Rosemary and I both have standard. We also have degrees in English but we couldn't understand the booklet. It got us nowhere. Nothing gets us anywhere. Can't get through on the phone: "…[we] apologise for the long wait times …" But why bother to wait? I bet there are no advisers who will ever be available. It's all pretend. I could hang on until I was a wizened corpse and no one would answer.
And the company does not respond to online estimates. I sent mine in, it emailed back that it had got it, months ago, and that's the last I heard. No bills arrived. Rosemary hasn't heard a squeak out of the company since February, when she weedily agreed to direct debit. Why?
"They got cross with me," says Rosemary. "I caved in." But however did she get through? "You can get through if you want to pay a bill."
I can't get through. EDF is impregnable. I have just tried to get into my account online. Typed in details. Didn't have a password. Wrote one in, it didn't match the one I'd had, but I've never had one, I swear it. Gave up. I still know nothing about my bill, except that prices are soaring. Booklets and leaflets must be frightfully expensive.

Excerpts from the WSJ today:
Gun Show: Open Carry Gains Ground - WSJ.com
Wouldn't a bunch of states benefit from this style of Governor:Quote:
TULSA, Okla.—Gun owners in this state could walk down the street openly packing their pistols under legislation passed by lawmakers that would make Oklahoma the first state in seven years to allow residents to openly display their handguns in public. Advocates of "open carry" laws have been pushing for several years to make it legal for gun owners to display their handguns in public places, arguing the practice would increase public safety and is protected under the Second Amendment.
Congratulations, Oklahoma!Quote:

Vehicle: 2005 Passat 1.8t with Automatic Transmission with 95457 Kilometers
So today I was doing a tune up on my car (Oil Change, Air Filter, Plugs, Clean MAF) basic ****. Anyways when I took off the rubber grommet on top of the MAF harness simply pulling back on it to get at harness I some hows pulled out the green heavily insulated wire right from the harness. Pics below...
Now that being said next weird thing I noticed was after everything was done and was pulling out of garage when placing vehicle into drive its clunked rather hard, something it has never done before ever. So I put it back into neutral and back into park 3 times and every time it clunks very hard every other gear is so smooth you cant even feel the transition from gear to gear.
Now with that all being said is it at all possible that these two issue are related due to this broken wire? Possible the harness is all apart of one another. And was also wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to get the broke terminal out so I can try to fix the wire as I have never had to deal with this style harness before (MK3 guy).
Thank in advance guys and if you need any more clarification let me now.

10 Silver Stars for soldiers in Afghan cliff clash - Yahoo! NewsFORT BRAGG, N.C. – Capt. Kyle Walton remembers pressing himself into the jagged stones that covered the cliff in northeast Afghanistan.
Machine gun rounds and sniper fire ricocheted off the rocks. Two rounds slammed into his helmet, smashing his head into the ground. Nearby, three of his U.S. Army Special Forces comrades were gravely wounded. One grenade or a well-aimed bullet, Walton thought, could etch April 6, 2008 on his gravestone.
Walton and his team from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group had been sent to kill or capture terrorists from a rugged valley that had never been penetrated by U.S. forces — or, they had been told, the Soviets before them.
He peered over the side of the cliff to the dry river bed 60 feet below and considered his options. Could he roll the wounded men off and then jump to safety? Would they survive the fall?
By the end of the six-hour battle deep within the Shok Valley, Walton would bear witness to heroics that on Friday would earn his team 10 Silver Stars, the most awarded for a single battle since the start of the war and possibly the most since the Vietnam War, although Army officials couldn't confirm that. An Air Force controller who was not formally part of the unit but supported the mission by guiding air strikes from the ground also earned a Silver Star.
Walton, a Special Forces team leader, and his men described the battle in an interview with The Associated Press last week. Most seem unimpressed they've earned the Army's third-highest award for combat valor.
"This is the story about Americans fighting side-by-side with their Afghan counterparts refusing to quit," said Walton, of Carmel, Ind. "What awards come in the aftermath are not important to me."
The mission that sent three Special Forces teams and a company from the 201st Afghan Commando Battalion to the Shok Valley seemed imperiled from the outset.
Six massive CH-47 Chinook helicopters had deposited the men earlier that morning, banking through thick clouds as they entered the valley. The approaching U.S. soldiers watched enemy fighters racing to positions dug into the canyon walls and to sniper holes carved into stone houses perched at the top of the cliff.
Considered a sanctuary of the Hezeb Islami al Gulbadin terrorist group, the valley is far from any major American base.
It was impossible for the helicopters to land on the jagged rocks at the bottom of the valley. The Special Forces soldiers and commandos, each carrying more than 60 pounds of gear, dropped from 10 feet above the ground, landing among boulders or in a near-frozen stream.
With several Afghan commandos, Staff Sgt. John Walding and Staff Sgt. David Sanders led the way on a narrow path that zig-zagged up the cliff face to a nearby village where the terrorists were hiding.
Walton followed with two other soldiers and a 23-year-old Afghan interpreter who went by the name C.K., an orphan who dreamed of going to the United States.
Walding and Sanders were on the outskirts of the village when Staff Sgt. Luis Morales saw a group of armed men run along a nearby ridge. He fired. The surrounding mountains and buildings erupted in an ambush: The soldiers estimate that more than 200 fighters opened up with rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns and AK-47s.
C.K. crumbled to the ground.
Walton and Spc. Michael Carter dove into a small cave. Staff Sgt. Dillon Behr couldn't fit so the Rock Island, Ill., native dropped to one knee and started firing. An F-15 made a strafing run to push back the fighters, but it wasn't enough.
Sanders radioed for close air support — an order that Walton had to verify because the enemy was so near that the same bombs could kill the Americans.
The nearest house exploded; the firing didn't stop.
"Hit it again," Sanders said.
For the rest of the battle, F-15 fighters and Apache helicopters attacked.
Behr was hit next — a sniper's round passing through his leg. Morales knelt on Behr's hip to stop the bleeding and kept firing until he, too, was hit in the leg and ankle.
Walton and Carter, a combat cameraman from Smithville, Texas, dragged the two wounded men to the cave. Gunfire had destroyed Carter's camera so Walton put him to work treating Morales who, in turn, kept treating Behr.
Staff Sgt. Ronald J. Shurer, a medic from Pullman, Wash., fought his way up the cliff to help.
"Heard some guys got hit up here," he said as he reached the cave, pulling bandages and gear from his aid bag.
Walton told Walding and Sanders to abandon the assault and meet on the cliff. The Americans and Afghan commandos pulled back as the Air Force continued to pound the village.
Walding made it to the cliff when a bullet shattered his leg. He watched his foot and lower leg flop on the ground as Walton dragged him to the cliff edge. With every heartbeat, a stream of blood shot out of Walding's wound. Rolling on his back, the Groesbeck, Texas, native, asked for a tourniquet and cranked down until the bleeding stopped.
The soldiers were trapped against the cliff. Walton was sure his men would be overrun. The narrow path was too exposed. He sent Sanders to find another way down. Sometimes free-climbing the rock face, the Huntsville, Ala., native found a steep path and made his way back up. Could the wounded make it out alive? Walton asked.
"Yes, they'll survive," Sanders said.
Down below, Staff Sgt. Seth E. Howard took his sniper rifle and started climbing with Staff Sgt. Matthew Williams.
At the top, Howard used C.K.'s lifeless body for cover and started to shoot. He fired repeatedly, killing as many as 20 of their attackers, his comrades say. The enemy gunfire slowed. The Air Force bombing continued, providing cover.
Morales was first down the cliff, clutching branches and rocks as he slid. Sanders, Carter and Williams went up to get Behr, then back up to rescue Walding. As Walton climbed down, a 2,000-pound bomb hit a nearby house. Another strike nearly blew Howard off the cliff.
Helicopters swooped in to pick up the 15 wounded American and Afghan soldiers, as well as the rest of the teams. Bullets pinged off the helicopters. One hit a pilot.
All the Americans survived.
Months later, Walding wants back on the team even though he lost a leg. Morales walks with a cane.
The raid, the soldiers say, proved there will be no safe haven in Afghanistan for terrorists. As for the medals, the soldiers see them as emblems of teamwork and brotherhood. Not valor.
"When you go to help your buddy, you're not thinking, 'I am going to get a Silver Star for this,'" Walding said. "If you were there, there would not be a second guess on why."
In my opinion these are the only Americans who deserve a bailout. They have earned rights and privilages that Wall Street didn't.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
I thank Almight God for men like these - they are few and far between. That whole place over there should be nuked, bulldozed flat, paved with asphalt, and then striped. God bless our troops.
