Which oil do you prefer? OLIVE, JOJOBA or COCONUT
which oil do you prefer to use, i'm using olive now, jus want to know what the majority of you guys use to see if i should switch to that.
I use for moisture, and relaxing my scalp by massaging some olive on in it.
I personally prefer jojoba oil, whenever I do my hair straight or curly. I find that jojoba has the lightest consistency. It also does not leave my hair with that greasy-like texture. Unfortunately jojoba tends to be the most expensive of the three oils you inquired about, but its worth it.
I've never used Jojoba, because I haven't been able to find it. But between olive and coconut, I like coconut oil better because olive oil is too heavy.
I order my jojoba oil from this website http://www.jojobacompany.com/.
But you can also go to your local natural herb store. I'm from Connecticut, so there are many places such as "Edge around the woods" in New Haven, CT.
Thanks, I'll look around for it. I'm in Atlanta right now, so I have to search around for health stores.
Jojoba hands down!
I used some random mineral oil I found in the closet. Weird, because it said "laxative" and "intestinal lubricant" on the label. :lol:
But I know that babyoil is mineral oil + fragrance, and Ive always like THAT....soooo I figured it'd be great on my scalp.
Hey Kell...maybe you should read some of the old post but from what I know mineral oil isn't really that good for your hair and most curlies advise to stay away from products that have them because it coats the hair and builds up and locks out all moisture making your hair dry overtime. The best oils are natural oils from vegetables or nuts because there are more similar to the oils in our hair...(the most similar being jojoba) anyways hope that helps...
good luck with your new quest on becoming natural :D
this site has great information and you should also check out The long hair care Forum for women of color...
I like olive oil but vitamin E gel capulses are the best for my hair for great moisturing and get your hair a healthy beautiful gloss/shine. I buy a bottle of vitamin E (I like to get the long capsules and bust the gel capulses and apply to my hair when I do braidsets or loose curls.
Butterfly thanks. Its something wrong if Im using the same stuff on my hair, that my grandpa used to 'lubricate' his booty. lol I definitley dont want to lock out moisture. In fact, Im gonna do a hot oil treatment for my ends. I'll pick up some jojoba after payday. :D
Also try grapeseed oil. I really like it on my hair.
I like coconut oil for curly and olive oil for straight, but have yet to try jojoba.
I haven't tried Jojoba, but between Olive Oil and Coconut Oil, I definitely preferred Coconut. I feel like it absorbs into my hair better/quicker than OO. The few times I used OO, my hair just felt really greasy.
Jojoba all the way. I LOVE it. My hair generally hates oil, but this is the one oil that does not weigh my hair down or make it sticky. It absorbs really well. I use it daily.
Olive oil would be my second choice...but I can only use it for DTs. Same with coconut oil.
PJ alert: I admit I have all three of these in my stash!
Love Jojoba
I love Jojoba. It makes my hair soft, leaves no residue. But I also love using Grapeseed and Apricot Kernel Oil.
I really like Jojoba Oil for skin and scalp. Its the oil that is most similar to sebum so our skin loves it. It moisturizes but isn't heavy. I add it to every beauty product I own. Its good for hair if you want something light. As far as the other 2, I'm dying to try Olive Oil. I just finished a jar of Coconut Oil (in my DTs) and don't think I will repurchase. It was okay but I but not what I hoped for.
Oh this is a good topic :) Out of all of these my hair loves extra virgin olive oil the best. :)

Classical element
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greek classical elements are fire, air, water, and earth. In Greek philosophy, science and medicine, these make up a whole.
- Fire is both hot and dry.
- Air is both hot and wet.
- Water is both cold and wet.
- Earth is both cold and dry.
The image below has two squares on top of each other. The corners of one are the classical elements. The corners of the other are the properties.
Galen said these elements were used by Hippocrates to describe the human body. The elements are linked to the four humours: phlegm (water), yellow bile (fire), black bile (earth), and blood (air).
In Chinese Taoism the elements are metal, wood, water, fire, earth (金、木、水、火、土).

At Dell's product showcase we had some proper hands-on time with the Latitude XT3, a 13in convertible tablet laptop sporting Sandy Bridge internals, decent connectivity, a backlit keyboard, and both capacitive and stylus input.
Unfortunately, due to the rise of the tablet (spearheaded by the iPad 2 for IOS and the Transformer for Android), the convertible tablet laptop has lost popularity in the consumer space. Consequently, older models like the Packard Bell Butterfly Touch and HP Tm2 haven't received updates. This leaves the X220T, 2760p and convertibles from Fujitsu as today's major players. So how does Dell's entrant hold up?
Judging by looks it's a stunner, though it maintains a somewhat industrial aesthetic. Gone is the all-black exterior of Dell's previous XT2, replaced by a three-tone metallic design with subtle orange trim. The lid sports a faux brushed metal finish that looks just like the real thing, surrounded by a silver aluminium outer strip. Inside, the black keyboard surround sports a soft-touch finish that feels great, while the matt black keyboard is bordered by a metallic silver strip and orange trim.
Like Lenovo's X220T, it's quite boxy. There are no tapered edges, though its corners are rounded. As long as you like orange, it's an attractive design that does its bit to stand out from the crowd.
We found build quality on this pre-production model to be excellent. There's no unwanted flex or creak, and the 180 degree hinge offers a solid, smooth action. The display swivels effortlessly either left or right (unlike on the X220T, which only swivels in one direction), and is held in place either in laptop or tablet orientations by a lock switch.
It is virtually silent in operation and quite comfortable to hold, though definitely a tad on the heavy side. Though Dell wouldn't confirm its weight, we were given a guesstimate of 1.8kg, which felt about right. It's heavier than most convertibles, but don't forget that this is a 13in machine, where most rivals are around 12 or 11 inches.
Connectivity is good. The only major casualty is USB 3.0, though it's not unusual to find this lacking on business-oriented machines. Along the left edge there's mini-Firewire, a USB 2.0 port, a headphone/microphone combi jack and an SDHC card reader (Dell representatives couldn't confirm whether it also supports the newer SDXC standard).
The back houses HDMI and VGA for video, along with a Gigabit Ethernet socket. To the right you'll find a SecureCard slot, wireless switch, combined eSATA/USB 2.0 port and a third USB 2.0 connector.
Internals are up to scratch, including your choice of Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors. Our demo model sported a Core i7-2620M running at 2.7GHz. This is backed by 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a selection of hard drive sizes. Graphics are of Intel's integrated variety, but this is no longer the caveat it once was, and should help the 44Wh battery achieve reasonable life away from a socket.
Wi-Fi n, Bluetooth and a webcam of unspecified resolution round off the picture. Running on this hardware you'll get the 32-bit edition of Windows 7 Professional, which gives greater compatibility than its 64-bit counterpart.

Gov. Brown Signs Controversial Abortion Legislation
SACRAMENTO -- Governor Brown signed seven bills today relating to women's health: among them, controversial legislation that would expand abortion access.
The law, authored by San Diego Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, will allow nurse practitioners, certified midwives and physicians assistants to perform first trimester abortions.
"We hope to address a current shortage of health care professionals able to provide early abortion care in California," Atkins said.
While Planned Parenthood says the law will expand abortion to women in rural and underserved communities, local anti-abortion leader Wynette Sills believes the bill is really about money.
"If they can provide the same abortion services using lesser paid, lesser trained clinical staff, they can maximize their profits to the detriment of women's health and safety," Sills said.
California becomes the fifth state to allow nurse practitioners to perform abortions.

Where do I go to request immediate help with getting Certview records corrected?I don't believe there is a P1 equivalent for Certview. There's no way to equate the inability to access Certview with a down production database, after all. Opening an SR is almost assuredly the fastest way to get a response. Hopefully you opened one before creating this forum posting, but if not, the longer you delay opening one, the further off the response time. :)
Brandye can make a more authoritative response. However, as she just did a slew of posts today, I don't expect she'll see this until late next week.
On the page referenced, a number of applications/service are listed but not CertView. That's terrific.Certview is unusual in that it combines your OTN information with your Oracle Testing ID, so I would imagine that would be why it isn't listed.
2. Re: Certview login and Oracle.com / SSO IDorafad Dec 16, 2012 12:06 AM (in response to Matthew Morris)Thanks. Yes I'd created an 'OCP SR' (not Metalink SR). I was trying to make sure it was the right door to knock on and at the same time perhaps whishing to find another door, since the few SRs I've opened in the past just recevied blanket and irrelevant responses.
Sure, there may be a reason it's not listed, but then a link to "account help" page should perhaps not be included in the blanket response to certview account questions. "For other account issues not related to Certview, see the following page:" could also do it, if the point is to promote it as some sort of FAQ page or starting point.
3. Re: Certview login and Oracle.com / SSO IDbigdelboy Dec 16, 2012 9:04 AM (in response to orafad)Possibly not related ... but I have seen possibly related discussions in the Community feedback forum.1 person found this helpful
Perhaps this thread and its links covers similar things .... there may be others if you go back over the years.
It may not be the case and I apologise for misleading you if so.
4. Re: Certview login and Oracle.com / SSO IDorafad Dec 17, 2012 2:08 PM (in response to orafad)The OCP request ticket was the right way to go, in this case. I had a really consultative message in the mailbox this morning, they rid the issue and standard sso login now works, and it did! Yes!
Thanks for responding to this thread also, Matthew and Bigdelboy.

What is Transpersonal*?
The word 'transpersonal' breaks down into two roots: 'trans' meaning 'beyond or through' and 'personal' which is derived from the word 'persona' i.e. our identity, mask or personality. The word transpersonal, thus, represents those elements of ourselves which are 'beyond' the identity to which we ordinarily associate ourselves.
Within the context of how this specific field of psychology defines itself, and in the words of Dr. Beth Hedva, "The term 'transpersonal' implies that these special elements which are 'beyond' our personality, beyond the standard identity of who and what we are, are available for us to use, to help us 'through' life. Waiting to be discovered in the core of who and what we are as human beings, is an expanded consciousness -- not outside of us -- but rather running 'through' each person. In fact, it is frequently the process of going through very human experiences, including a crisis or challenge, that we awaken to unknown strengths, and come to experience greater resources within our being."
Transpersonal therapies offer an integrative 'mind-body-heart-spirit' approach to health and healing. By drawing upon a wide range of contemporary and ancient traditions transpersonal and integratiave therapies enable an individual to contact an expanded perspective on their personal life issues. Spiritual practices from ancient and indigenous cultures, along with contemporary research in clinical psychology, parapsychology, anthropology and religious studies blend to offer individuals, couples and families or groups a personalized approach to self-healing, growth, and integration of expanded states of awareness.
Typical 'personal' problems such as:
- anxiety
- depression
- relationship issues
- recovery from addictions
- childhood wounds
- emotional, sexual or physical abuse
Dr. Beth Hedva has developed a Spiritually Directed Therapy Protocol that employs a wide range of therapeutic techniques may be employed to assist in this process ranging from: cognitive and behavioral approaches, strategic brief therapy; using interpersonal therapies such as family therapy, gestalt or existential therapies; or using symbolic process, including expressive arts therapies, as well as possibly using more intuitive tools such as astrology, tarot, dream work and other ancient and vibrational healing methods (stones, crystals, colors, aromas, guided visualization, meditation and the like).

Hi Guys,
I hope this is the right place to post this, if not, hope the mods move it accordingly. I've been toying around with designing a new watch brand for some time now and have narrowed it down to the following designs. They are by no means final and just form the basis for a collection.
You can see where I'm going with these designs. I'm just trying to design some fairly large watches with very very minimal and simple dials. Let me know what you think about these designs. I know they are not earth shattering but I hope they have their own appeal due to the simplicity of the designs.
Case: 45mm Stainless Steel, brushed with polished bezel 12mm height
Glass: 2mm domed sapphire glass with AR internally
Straps: Various strap options which I am still considering
Lug: 24mm
Crown: Stainless Steel Screw down onion crowns where applicable.
Production: 100pc each model.
All your feedback is greatly appreciated.

New Trailer for Sundance Selected Abortion Documentary 'After Tiller'
by Ethan Anderton
September 20, 2013
Source: Apple
Though the subject of abortion is a hotly debated topic, there aren't many parties who argue in favor of third-trimester abortions, a task that is only practiced by four doctors in the United States, following the killing of the infamous Dr. George Tiller. All of these doctors are former colleagues of Tiller's and claim an allegiance to their patients and any of their needs. Now the documentary After Tiller, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival provides information on these doctors' lives and the stance they have taken in their job about this controversial topic. But it's up to to audiences to decide how they feel in the end. Watch!
Here's the latest trailer for Martha Shane & Lana Wilson's After Tiller, originally from Apple:
After the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas in 2009, there are a limited number of doctors left who provide third-trimester abortions for women. After Tiller moves between the rapidly unfolding stories of the doctors, all of whom were close colleagues of Dr. Tiller, and are fighting to keep this service available in the wake of his death. These four people have become the new #1 targets of the pro-life movement, yet continue to risk their lives every day to do work that many believe is murder, but which they believe is profoundly important for their patients' lives. After Tiller premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Human Rights award at the Full Frame Film Festival. Oscilloscope Labs has After Tiller in theaters now.

I work with children 6 years old and older who are experiencing life and family changes, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems and family conflict. I utilize child-centered play therapy and incorporate art and sandplay in treatment with children. Play therapy uses the child's language of play to help them express their feelings and needs in ways that talking cannot. Additionally, I utilize sandplay and art in helping children integrate life experiences that may be confusing and discomforting for them. Therapy can help children learn to manage out of control emotions and regain a sense of stability and mastery in their world.
How do you know if your child is in need of therapy? Some signs to look for include sudden behavior changes, lack of interest in otherwise pleasurable activities, isolation, sleep disturbances, nightmares, change in appetite, a drop in grades at school, increased anger or irritability, or increased impulsivity.

I love love love nutrimirror. I have tried for years to make the scale move, but couldnt, until I found nutrimirror. This site is not a diet, it's a lifestyle plan. Diets suck and your always gain the weight back. The key to successful weight loss is to learn how to eat. Nutrimirror shows you what you are doing right or wrong. It allows you to see where you can make changes to stay on the write track.
I joined NM on May 15 09 and met my original goal this week. I have decided to lose another 7 pounds. I am no longer overweight but I want to have some wiggle room. I plan to use NutriMirror for the rest of my life. The site and the Rays and their staff are awesome.
I've been using Nutrimirror for about a month. This site is a great tool for improving your health through nutrition. I tried prescription iron supplements without much success. I like this site because I can see how much iron I'm getting from food. It has made me a participant in my own health! And I've lost a few pounds. Also, Funny and supportive staff and members!
This is not a diet. Diets suck. They make you fat. This ingenious absolutely free site (a gift to our world from one family) is a tool that helps you learn what you need to know about food and about yourself so that you can make the important decisions that will save your life. I found this site in August of 2008 and have lost 105 pounds...slow and smart. I have no reason to think those pounds will be back, since I didn't lose them using a gimmick or depriving myself. Sure, I feel wonderful now that I'm lighter, but I felt great immediately upon taking control of my eating. My life had changed by week 2. The changes were taking place in my understanding of nutrition and therefore I was able to renovate my relationship with food. If you're tired of the diet industry making money off your poor health and then making it even worse, check out NutriMirror. It's the real deal.
I joined in Sept 2009 after decades of dieting. I have learned that the key to a healthy weight lies in meeting your bodies nutritional needs and Nutri Mirror is just the tool to make that happen. Thanks to this site and it's many users, I am finally learning to cook healthy, nutritional meals that my whole family enjoys. I have lost 22 pounds so far and feel better than I have in years.
The journal room people are also very good at supporting each other. This is way better than I ever expected to find.
I have tried many different ways to lose weight and this is the only one that I feel good about. I know I am balanced, I know that I am getting enough to eat and I know I am healthy. I dont recommend any other but NutriMirror. I am very happy to be part of NM family and I will be for life.
I think NutriMirror is mis-labeled as a "diet." It is a tool for restructuring your life by bringing your healthy habits to the forefront and helping you choose to avoid your weaker habits. The lack of prescribed exercise plan makes it work for everyone, even those who cannot exercise could still benefit from the NutriMirror analysis and guidance.
I already was working out in the gym 5 days a week, with minimal weight loss for over a year before I found NutriMirror. Now 6 months later I am down about 20 lbs. That is a real accomplishment for me, and proof that the method works.
I've tried other programs before, and like this better than any of the others. It's something that I can use to keep calorie counts, nutrition information and a whole-picture look at my health in one place, all easily accessible.
These guys have started a quiet revolution in weight management through sane, controlled eating with the goal on healthy choices to establish a lifelong pattern of new behavior.
Just what the doctor ordered. :-)
I have been using NM since August of 2008 and I have lost and kept off 68 pounds since starting. Very wonderful tool and the community is like family!
this is the best nutritional site around and people worldwide use it. being able to see what you are eating and balancing it is amazing. the health benefits that come from proper nutrition are amazing. this is not a diet site! it's a wonderful tool to help you improve your health all around. strength, endurance, weight loss, energy, it all starts with balance. this is an awesome site and extremely user friendly! i recommend it to everyone!
This site is the best of the best. Never...ever...ever have I succeeded with getting healthy (especially getting to a healthy weight) as I have with this site. I'm in better shape now, at 60, than I've been since I was 30. Unbelievably accurate, insightful, supportive, encouraging AND free!! Love it :-)
I posted a longer comment but it does not seem to be showing up...hopefully it will. I want to add that I see under CON it says "Does not include a customized diet or exercise plan". Well...I have to say that this is not a CON but should be in the PLUS category. Nutrimirror empowers you to take control of achieving your OWN balance. Who wants a menu prescribed by someone else when you can eat foods you already like? If you want recipe ideas, or ideas of foods to up your fiber, calcium, etc. all you have to do is post a question to the journal room and you'll get all SORTS of answers. These replies will include everything from recipes, to the user's own personal experience, to lists of foods to try. I'm not interested in someone else's diet plan that restricts me in any way - what I want is the knowledge of how to fix the foods I already love in ways that balance my nutrition and health. THIS is what Nutrimirror does for me. Too many people are looking for an easy fix to weight loss and health issues via a pill or a special menu that will do this or that...but this just keeps you dependent on external factors and sets you up for failure. Nutrimirror is amazing and I plan to always be a part of it.
Nutrimirror is absolutely amazing. I found the site in March of 2009 because I had started to put on a little weight after years of being able to eat whatever I want without noticing. I was hooked immediately and those extra few pounds fell off within weeks and I have been able to keep them off. Nutrimirror is not a diet or any kind of "out there" fad that makes you deprive yourself of anything. It is simply a tool that allows you to see exactly what you eat - which foods give you the nutrition you need and which ones don't. It is a tool for self-empowerment that puts your health under your total control and helps you to be able to live well in a balanced way so that you can still eat the foods you love. The journal room is filled with supportive and loving people who are eager to see one another thrive and there is a wealth of information being shared in there. It's an amazing place, run by amazing people who genuinely care for the members, and when you have people like that in charge - people who sincerely want to see others reach their full potential, there is nothing that can't be done.
For anyone who struggles with weight or eating right, and has gone through any number of "diets" only to wind up back where they started, look no further than NutriMirror.
It is such a useful tool that helps you to undo bad eating behavior and learn good eating behavior through the easy/interactive nature of the site. My favorite part is not only the features listed in the review, but the ability to quickly look up (one click) the types of foods that will help you hit the right balance of nutrients for the day. this avoids getting "bored" eating the same foods all the time.
The really other huge thing is the community. NutriMirror is made up of the most wonderful people who are so supportive of each other and creative with ideas on food. Need encouragement? Post a note and you'll be flooded with goodwill.
I can honestly say - as someone who couldn't resist candy/cookies/ice cream and who ate way too much pasta in one sitting, that I've learned how to introduce healthier foods in my diet and manageable exercise. The result? I've lost over 30 pounds in 4 months and it hasn't felt like a struggle or sacrifice. What's more is, I've altered the way I eat - something I never thought I'd do.
Sorry for the long review but if you really want to eat right and stay fit but not be on a fad diet - Nutrimirror is ABSOLUTELy for you.
I have been on NutriMirror for 6 months now, and I have been amazed at the ingenious way that this site is put together. I have never felt better in my life! I have lost weight, and gained a great group of people who support healthy living! I cannot recommend this site more!
In August of 2009 I googled food journal and stumbled across the NitriMirror site. I was a roro dieter with some past success stories but always gained the weight and more back. I first want to say that if you�??re looking for a DIET, then the site is not for you! If you�??re looking for a long committed life style change to better health, then I encourage you to visit NutriMirror today!
I started at a weight of 148 and in a tight size 12. My husband, whom at that time was recovering from a stroke and weighting in at 188 and in a 34 reg. Today I weigh 115 and in a size 2. My husband weighs in at 148 and is in a 32 slim and the best part is that he is off the blood pressure meds and two of his other meds have been cut in half the dosage. We are off the couch and walking every day. I have started running with my 4 mile walks and have already done my first 10K. I would never have attempted anything like this if it wasn�??t for the support of all the NutriMirror members and staff. You are not just a member, but treated like a friend when you join. Some of us have met our goals with our weight, but we encourage that new person to get control of their lives and stop letting the wrong food choices control them. If a person logs or even writes down their food intake, faithfully, everyday, it is a proven fact that they will lose weight from doing so. Turn back to the old time food pyramid, the fruits and vegetables, dairy, wheat. Stop choosing that fast food drive thru! I cannot say enough praises for finding NutriMirror that day in August, and my husband and I are better, healthier people because we did. I have NO Cons about NutriMirror.

I have been used the NutriMirror program between June - Dec 2009. I lost 45 pounds. I was able to keep it off during the holidays, a January cruise, and 2 weeks of house guests even though I was not using the program because it taught me to be more aware of my eating. Now I am back on it again to loose more weight. I have tried everything else and this is the best.
I've been a member of Nutrimirror (NM) since August 2009. So far I have lost 36 lbs using this fantastic tool! I've greatly improved the way I eat and have 'met' some wonderful, caring people who use the site. I can't say enough good things about this site, the people who use it and the people who run it. It's so much more than just an online food log! It's a community of caring people and I thank God for the day I stumbled across it!

A family doctor from Wiltshire who used a secret camera inside his James Bond-style wristwatch to record himself abusing female patients is facing jail after admitting a string of sex charges.
Dr Davinderjit Bains, 45, used his position as a GP at a medical practice in Royal Wootton Bassett, near Swindon, to assault more than two dozen women.
Bains filmed the attacks on his Tieex 4GB Waterproof HD Spy Watch DVR, which has been likened to something out of a 007 film.
It has a built-in camera on the face - with simple on and off buttons to record - and can be bought on the internet for less than £60.
Detectives branded Bains a "sexual predator" and said he had covertly filmed more than 100 women.
At Swindon Crown Court Bains admitted a total of 39 charges - 13 charges of assault by penetration, 13 charges of voyeurism, 11 charges of sexual assault and two charges of sexual activity with a child.
He also asked for a further 65 offences - 10 of sexual assault by penetration, eight of sexual assault and 47 of voyeurism - to be taken into account when the judge passes sentence.
His not-guilty pleas to three charges of sexual assault and a single count of administering a noxious drug with intent to commit a sexual offence were accepted by the Crown and will lie on file.
Bains, of Nyland Road, Swindon, was remanded into custody to await sentencing once reports have been prepared.
The offences were committed against 30 women - aged from 14 to 51 - between July 2010 and May 2012.
The police investigation began in June last year when a 19-year-old woman told officers she thought Bains had filmed her as she showered and said she had been sexually assaulted by him in Swindon.
When detectives arrested Bains at the Tinkers Lane Surgery in Royal Wootton Bassett, they discovered his high-tech wristwatch with spy camera.
They later recovered 361 high-quality video clips from Bains' watch and home computer.
Detective inspector Mark Garrett, who led the investigation, said Bains had used his position as a GP to abuse women.
"They put their trust in their doctor and Dr Bains breached that trust massively - compromising his professional position - and breached that trust to the highest order," he said.
"Today he stands exposed as someone who has utterly betrayed that trust for his own sexual gratification.
"He is a sexual predator, simple as that. And he was allowed to abuse his position of trust and offend for two years.
"In almost 30 years of police service I have never come across a case like that of Dr Davinderjit Bains."
Bains qualified as a doctor from Mangalore University in 1993 and became a GP in 2007. He is currently suspended from practising by the GMC.
In a statement the surgery said it was "appalled" at the crimes Dr Bains had committed.
"This has been a shocking and distressing case for all concerned," the statement said.
"The partners, GPs and staff of Tinkers Lane Surgery are deeply saddened by the actions of this former colleague and our sympathies remain entirely with the victims and our patients and their families.
"We are appalled that the sort of crimes to which Dr Bains has today pleaded guilty could happen in general practice.
"We will now seek to rebuild the trust and the confidence of our community and our patients."
When Bains was first arrested a helpline was set up by NHS Wiltshire, the local primary care trust, for patients at the surgery.
It said in a statement: "We are appalled at the crimes to which Dr Bains has today pleaded guilty.
"It is clear that he violated the trust and dignity of those who looked to him for professional care and support.
"Such cynical abuse of his position, and way he concealed these serious offences, is reprehensible."

5th time rejection for my theme and this time I really cant understand the message of reviewer. Experts, please send feedback how to improve the theme.
This is reviewer message :
Unfortunately your submission Prolook – Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme isn't ready for ThemeForest and cannot be resubmitted as it did not meet our minimum requirements for quality and/or marketplace policies. In order for submissions to be considered for sale they must be of high aesthetic and technical quality, unique to our library and cannot be in violation of Envato's policies. Please see our Knowledgebase for more information: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/399/57/
Our Review team also provided these comments:
Overall, this is a good concept but there are a couple issues here:
We already have a number of submissions with the same overall design and concept and we have to draw the line somewhere.
I think we're reached a point of saturation. At this point, we're only looking for unique variations of this design: for another one to be approved it would have to have a couple of unique touches and features that differentiate it from what's already available and definitely be of higher quality.
Minimal templates can be clean and simple when you manage to handle the white space and details to provide a simple but yet unique template. But if you can't, it will look like an incomplete template – blank template.
In this case, the submitted template is more like a 'framework' than a full fledged design. If you're going with minimalism, you need to make sure all the little details check out.
Really appreciate it if expert designers also send their feedback and suggestions.
Its clear :
"I think we're reached a point of saturation"
you lose your time here, make your marketplace own site

Removing headlamp for drag racing..?
I just came home from the drag strip....ran a 14.823 best time yet. :woot:
I saw alot of cars that take out there headlight. I have the dinan cai im wondering if i did the same and removed my drivers side headlamp would it help me out in getting a better time or just waste my time...? Anyone ever done this and how did it work for you...
Well considering the dinan CAI intake is in the bumper...removing your headlight really wont get any more airflow into the filter and may even cause unwanted drag...
Some guys probably remove the headlights so they can create a larger air intake opening. Don't bother doing it.
If you had an ECIS filter I would say do it, the Dinan intake is behind the bumper.

Prior to news breaking that Syracuse center Fab Melo would be ineligible for the NCAA tournament, I thought Michigan State was the most likely No. 1 seed to be upset early in the tourney.
I'll get into my reasons for that, but obviously now, the Orange have a tough path ahead, too. They just lost their leading rebounder, and they're not a very good rebounding team to begin with. Look at potential matchups -- Kansas State, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, etc. -- and there seems to be plenty of possible upsets in Syracuse's portion of the draw. Certainly this news will cause a lot of people to change their bracket picks.
But back to the team I think is pretty vulnerable, too: Michigan State.
Hear me out, Spartan fans. Now, Michigan State played very, very well to win the Big Ten tournament after losing Branden Dawson to a torn ACL. As a reward, the Spartans got a No. 1 seed in the West regional.
Tom Izzo is a great coach, and I've always said it's hard to bet against his teams -- no matter how much or how little talent he has. Draymond Green is one of the most important players on any team in the country.
But I just can't shake the idea that losing Dawson will catch up to Michigan State. My colleague Marlen Garcia agrees with me on this. Despite how well the Spartans came together in Indianapolis last weekend, we just aren't sure they can keep it up for another couple of weeks against really tough competition. (Dawson started 31 games and averaged 8.4 ppg and 4.5 rpg.)
In my bracket, I've picked a red-hot Memphis team to take out Michigan State in the round of 32. The Tigers are very athletic and very talented. Every coach/team suffers an early upset every once in awhile -- even a coach like Izzo.
Even if Memphis isn't the team to do it, Louisville or Marquette/Missouri could take out Michigan State prior to the Final Four.
As much as people seem to think there's a huge gap between the top 1-2 seed lines in college basketball and the rest this year, I disagree. I think there's a huge gap between Kentucky and the rest. (Especially with Syracuse/Melo's ineligibility, and key injuries to both UNC (John Henson) and Michigan State.)
And it's not that hard to see a Dawson-less Michigan State team losing early.

The purpose of this meditation is to generate a strong wish to abandon self-cherishing by contemplating its disadvantages.
I began the meditation by thinking about how self-cherishing affects me in my family life. How do I relate to the people I live with? When I am busy doing something, and someone comes and disturbs me, asks me to move, or asks me to do something, what are my reactions? I become irritated. I think 'how can they ask me this, when I am busy'? Then I realised that at these times, self-cherishing distorts my view of reality. It seems that my activities become vastly more important than the wishes of the other person, and at the same time, the wishes of the other person become negative. 'How can they think that is more important than what I am doing'!? 'If they understood how important I am, they would know what I am doing must take precedence'. At the time, these appearances are subtle in their own way – they seem very natural and simple – very easy to believe and go along with. But they are there and when I look at them in the clarity of meditation, they are absurd.
Even when I am doing something trivial, and I am asked to help someone who needs my assistance, I still experience a 'tug' of resistance and resentment, that my wishes are being interfered with.
I thought about what I am missing out on by following this delusion of self-cherishing. When I am busy doing something, I am 'on guard'. I am anxious that someone will come and interfere with my wishes. So even when no-one is around, self-cherishing does not allow me true peace. When someone comes, I mentally prepare myself, so that as soon as they speak I have a response planned to justify what I am doing, and explain why I can't stop. Maybe even a bit of sarcasm thrown in, just to pay them back for their lack of respect!!!!!
So this subtle current of self-cherishing in my mind builds a wall between me and others. It separates me from others, and sees them as a threat to my happiness.
I thought about what it would be like to not have self-cherishing. I would be relaxed. I would not feel threatened. If I were disturbed while doing something, I would be able to stop my activity straight away to assist the other person. I would feel no resentment or reluctance.
It felt like there would be no separation between the other person and myself, between their wishes and my wishes, their mind and my mind. It felt like I would experience my mind mixed with theirs. True intimacy with the other person.
I let my mind rest on this feeling that if I could rid my mind of self-cherishing, I would be able to be truly intimate with other people, share their concerns and pain, their happiness and joy. I felt the determination to abandon self-cherishing, so that I could experience this peace and happiness immediately.
May all living beings see the disadvantages of self-cherishing in their own experience, abandon it, and become enlightened beings as quickly as possible.
Practice in the meditation break
I will be watching for self-cherishing, and just seeing how it effortlessly distorts my priorities, making my wishes seem so important, while ignoring the importance of the wishes of others.
It did not take long to see a real example arise. I was sitting on the living room floor a few moments ago and had just started to write up this post, when down came Eldest lad, wanting to watch some telly. Immediately I wanted to carry on with the blog. I immediately started to think of reasons why I COULD NOT POSSIBLY stop what I was doing:
- The blog is important
- I was here first
- If he watches telly I will have to stop, because I can't write while the telly is on
- I will have to go into the kitchen and it isn't as comfy
- I will have to get up and that takes effort
- I would have to unplug the computer and plug it in somewhere else
- I don't know where the socket is in the kitchen (we are in a holiday cottage at the moment)
- He will only want to watch rubbish on the telly, which is not important
- He should still be asleep – how inconsiderate of him to wake up early.
All these thoughts instead of what I should do, which is smile at him with loving kindness and say 'Good morning! I love you'.
I only spotted and became aware of all these thoughts because of the meditation I had just done. They seem pretty trivial, but at the time, they seemed very relevant, and together they appeared to create a whole raft of justifications – each one was good enough but combined, they were irrefutable.
However, I changed my approach. I remembered that he is on holiday, and to him, watching telly is important. I simply got up, unplugged the computer, and set up in the kitchen. He smiled at me and said 'Thanks Dad'. My heart felt very warm. And it was easier than I thought it would be.

The Hunter 420

It doesnt take any imagination to know that the new Passage 420 from Hunter Marine is not a traditional cruising sailboat. Take a look. The short ends, mast struts and trunk-like opening transom, for example, tell you this 43-footer takes no lead from any classic, sweet-ended and lithe cruiser of another sailing era. The Passage 420 sets its own style as a day-sailing-to-distance cruiser reborn to meet many of the current needs and wants of sailors.

 Sail Plan
 Interior Layout

Lets go back, first, to the genesis of the Passage 420. Around 10 years ago, Hunters Warren Luhrs, a CEO passionate about sailing, spearheaded a new and unusual boat niche, the production passaging yacht, and called it the Passage 420. The boat evolved, in part, out of Luhrs blue-water sailing experience. It included the innovative and practical B & R rig that Luhrs has favored on Hunters. Though it was an able cruiser of moderate success, Hunter Marine realized the deck and cabin could benefit from updating. But what improvements were needed?

Hunter set up a covey of focus groups, commissioned a consumer survey analysis, obtained feedback from owners, and asked their dealers to tell them what their customers wanted. The summation of all this information painted the picture of a boat with a lot more amenities and favoring a more comfortable and relaxing approach to sailing.

Taking a lead from its 10-inch longer overall Hunter 450, the Hunter Design Team created a center- cockpit, shoal-draft cruiser with an interior fit for an apartment. In a typical center-cockpit design, the companionway becomes a natural divider between the aft stateroom and galley/salon. The Passage 420 takes full advantage of this break by using all of the area, some one-third of the interior, for the owners stateroom. On the 420 — in part a couples boat — the aft cabin registers a layout victory, a bedroom at sea. The fore-aft queen-size bed (with seven-inch inner-spring mattress) is an island with hanging wardrobes, bureaus and, even, a slide-out desk along the cabin sides. A head with shower is en suite.

The location of the salons L-shaped dinette straddles the opposing settee and large galley. The positioning of these three elements makes for an efficiently blended living space where a person in the galley, for example, wont be left out of the conversation at the dinette. The nav center, just aft of the curving, six-step companionway, is out of the way while within earshot of the helmsman.

Three people can sleep in the salon and another two in the forward cabin, which includes its own head with shower. Headroom is 65" in the aft and forward cabin.
Among the standard equipment on the Hunter 420 is a TV with VCR, stereo CD and AM/FM radio. Other standard items worthy of mentioning are: built-in solar panel on the sea hood, lights for seacock locations, tank gauges, refrigeration, microwave oven, 30-amp battery charger, Corian counters, bedding package with fitted sheets, dish ware, danforth-type anchor and rode, and safety equipment package. This includes: six life jackets, handheld flares and two fire extinguishers.

From the outside, the 420s profile is arresting as its large fixed cockpit arch commands your view. But as imposing as the arch might be, it is, in fact, a key, practical component of this snug, yet efficient, cockpit. The arch serves as support for the bimini. In addition, the stereo system and speakers, and engine controls have been slickly incorporated into the arch. The mainsail traveler is on the top of the arch, which puts it nicely out of the way while offering a good purchase to the boom. The cockpit electronics can be installed in the binnacle module, and there is a fold-up table hung on the module as well. The sheets are led aft to sheetstoppers and winches on the coachroof where the lines can be stashed into the adjacent organizer well.

The stepped transom features two huge lockers that have room enough for a generator in one and an inflatable dinghy or diving gear in the other.

The Hunter 420 features a 7/8th B & R rig with aft-swept spreader and mast struts that allows for smaller and lighter top sections of the mast while doing away with the backstay. The 420 carries 875 square feet of sail on the 585" rig. The standard auxiliary is a 50-horsepower Yanmar diesel. Tankage is 145 gallons water and 45 gallons fuel.

These are some tentative goals and guidelines for the project:
- Don't worry about backward compatibility. We should learn from the mistakes of the past, not repeat them!
- Given a choice between either complex types and simple values or simple types and complex values, prefer the former.
- Provide a fine-grained algebra.
- Provide convenient facilities for type composition and generic folds/unfolds.
- Implement a declarative IO system.
- Don't be afraid to use extensions (although we should probably establish a list of which ones are "safe" and which are not).

Aussie author Winton wins top award for surfing novel
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Australian author Tim Winton has won the nation's most prestigious literary prize for a record fourth time, taking the 2009 Miles Franklin award for his novel "Breath" that is centered around his passion -- surfing.
Winton, 48, an lifelong surfer and environmentalist, won his first Miles Franklin award 25 years ago for "Shallows." He also won the annual accolade in 1992 for "Cloudstreet" and in 2002 for "Dirt Music."
Winton, who has twice been shortlisted for the Booker prize, said the Miles Franklin award has tried to do its part to stiffen the resolve and bolster the confidence of Australian writers and their readers.
The award, which comes with prize money of $42,000, recognizes novels which "present Australian life in any of its phases."
"It's endured to be a part of the global success our literary culture has enjoyed in recent years," said Winton, who lives in Western Australia.
But Winton used a pre-recorded acceptance speech to blast an Australian proposal to cut territorial copyright after 12 months and allow cheaper books to be imported into Australia.
He said territorial copyright was the unheralded reason for the success of Australia's literary world and scrapping this would ruin Australian writers' livelihoods.
"Aussie rights are the bedrock of fair play. They're the only hope we have of making a living here in our own country. But thanks to an agency of our own government, Aussie rights are now in grave jeopardy," he said.
"Australians have outgrown colonialism, but the loss of territorial copyright will return us to a colonial relationship - in literary terms - to London and New York. What a squalid surrender. What a waste of cultural capital that would be." Continued...

500, 472, 425, 368 Discussion, i bought a 472 in Cadillac Engine Discussion; A 3" filter element with a drop base air cleaner is all you can stuff under the hood with the ...
Re: i bought a 472
A 3" filter element with a drop base air cleaner is all you can stuff under the hood with the Edelbrock 2115 intake. As for the transmission, the long '69 TH400 is TOO long to work off the bat. Here's my situation; I've decided against having a driveline made or cut, and am going to UN-install the '69 TH400 after making a custom mount for it. I'm going to use a short TH400 so I can use factory mount and driveline. I was going to set up a page about all the troubles and facts I've come across on the way with my swap ('69 472 into '83 Coupe), but I've been too busy just working on the car. Let me know if you run into anything - Good luck finding 368 mounts!
Re: i bought a 472
Yup. Now is the time to start collecting those parts that are only easy to get when you are not in a hurry. Nice thing is you can keep your current radiator if it is in good shape. The front driveshaft yoke will have to be swapped after you find the short TH400. Depending on wheather you are nuts enough, the speedometer housing can be swapped over to one with a correct PRNDL readout and even the steering column can be swapped so you have the correct detents. That does not have to be done but it is a nice touch. Keep an eye out for a dead RWD 425 car. All those parts are there.
Re: i bought a 472
yeah, that brings up a couple things i have wondered about. im gonna be taking out every electronic i possibly can when i do the swap, but what about my column shifter?that i dont need to change, right? on the dash it says prnd321, so all those stops will be the same except 3rd will really be 2nd and 2nd will really be 1st, and it wont go to the 1, right? and will my speedometer still work?

Re: i bought a 472
You can keep the column and the speedo cluster. The detents will be wrong but it will work. Set neutral to where it belongs on the readout and the rest of the letters will be close enough.
You don't have to go banannas taking stuff out with that swap. Keep the ECM. It turns the climate control on. Remove the check engine lamp and back over it or smash with a 48 oz. hammer. Plan on changing the front springs at some point. Watch out for heavy duty numbnuts springs. They will ruin the ride. IIRC, the high side power steering hose from the old pump that you will be using is different but will still work with your newer steering box which uses a little different style fitting. Either that or the pump fittings get swapped. You have to decide about the fuel pump. You can take the tank out and convert to an old style pickup with no pump OR you can leave the stock pump and regulate it down to a level that your carbonator can handle. Either way works but using the electric pump will require a little more wiring at the engine. As long as you can solder and heat shrink wires then it is pretty easy. You are also going to need a 368 or 425 rear wheel drive oil pump housing. The filter will hit the steering linkage unless the housing is changed. I heard somebody say there was a way around this but never saw it myself. You also need to grab a different starter motor AND the little L shaped bracket that holds the rear of starter to the engine block. Check your motor and trans when you get it to make sure that is there. That little bracket must be used. Get a Chrysler 225 C.I. "slant six" bypass hose. That will go on the RS cylinder head heater hose outlet and up to your heater control valve. Put it on before dropping the 472 in.
Another good part from the 425 car would be the entire air conditioning hoses that connect to the rear of the compressor. This way you can use the old axial compressor. You might just want to use a whole different compressor if going to an aftermarket intake manifold though.
I miss doing those swaps they were fun.
Re: i bought a 472Originally Posted by 472
what about the 368 mounts? are those the mounts im gonna need?
Re: i bought a 472
hey, ape, all of this is very helpful, im a visual person, so im not exactly sure what you are talking about, but when i start doing the drop and looking at the parts ill have a better idea of what needs to be done, ill also be able to refer back to this thread as well as others, it sounds like as long as i can find the different cars to get parts off ill be fine. knowing ny though, it seems i may have to travel to junkyards kinda far away to get the parts i need. and again, thanks for the help
Heres a run down of some useful info;
Oiling System;
a: 368 Oil Pan and Pick-Up Tube (425 works, but you must check rod clearance).
b: 368 Oil Pump/Filter Mount (425 works, be aware of steering).
368 Engine Mounts (I do NOT think 425 ones will work, I can take a pic of 368 ones for you).
I found the best way to set it up is with 77-79 gear. Im using all 77 brackets, pulleys, P/S pump, fan and funk spacer, and 77-79 style alternator. I omitted the A/C since Im using an Edelbrock intake; I can get the belt length to delete it with 77-79 pulleys. The 77-79 P/S hoses are PERFECT. A 77-79 fuel pump should work if you dont want to use the stock one (I made a block off plate for the fuel pump and setup a Holley Red Electric pump).
You can use the crummy 425 manifolds, but the passenger side really chokes it; the alternative is to use the 427 (500) manifolds and notch the ol control arm and trim the front stud down. Or get the header flanges and use BBC or BBF headers.
I kept the IGN lead for the coil, and the starter lead... thats it. I omitted a literal heap of wires. I did leave all the ECM junk in the car in tact so the ECC works normally. Also, when I swapped the dash, I was sure to take all the bulbs out for junk like Oil Pressure, Water Temp, and of course Service Soon (using analog gauges).
I used an 89 305 Brougham radiator; the lower hose is fine, but the upper inlet was smaller on the radiator than the water outlet However, I modified a small bock Chevy water outlet and cut the stock hose way down since I deleted the A/C.
Well, as noted earlier, Ive been struggling here. I have the TH400 (long) installed with a custom mount, and swapped the fittings on it out to accept the smaller cooling lines, but its TOO LONG. A 1979 Seville driveline ALMOST fits since its shorter than stock, but still too long. So, I was thinking about using the long TH400 and cutting a Seville line, but am thinking Ill just get a short TH400 (77+ BOP) so I can use a stock drive line.
That's all I can think of right now, I'm off to work on the turkey for the moment
Re: i bought a 472
thank you 472, very helpful, i will probably need some stuff spelled right out for me, lol. not that im a slow learner, i just have no frame of reference on something like this, so its kinda tough,
Re: i bought a 472
What header flanges are needed to be able to bolt Big Block Chevy headers to a 472. Any clearance issues? I'm putting them into a 1969 RWD hearse. Thanks.

Re: i bought a 472
I know this is not the most popular suggstion but here goes.Personally I would not use headers on an engine like this if it is just going to be a street motor.Headers are a pita for many reasons,tendancy to leak,heat everything near it to the melting point,more expensive...........and at low RPM`s that these motors are designed for the manifolds will do just fine and work well with duals.Then again when I was a young man headers were the only way to go.I guess what I`m trying to say is if you want maintanance free use manifolds.I`m sure people had great success with headers but for a street cad I think you will do just fine with your manifolds.Now the speech from your father is over you can go back to your original programming.....
Re: i bought a 472Originally Posted by deeman
Headers can really be a royal pain. Some engines really wake up with them like the small block Chrysler. It's really tempting to see what would happen on a stone stock 500 or other Cad engine. They make some happy wrap stuff which is supposed to keep underhood heat down and quiet the explosion noises down a bit. I am considering taking the plunge myself to try installing a set. The idea of cylinder scavenging and improved balance is hard to ignore.
They are one of the few things that can improve performance and fuel economy. I hope to run into someone firsthand who has installed a pair on a car that can be driven daily without sacrificing comfort.
Re: i bought a 472
My uncle once had a '69 GTO convertable that was completly restored and ran on 110 octane. boy was it fast. Anyways I remember him going through about 3 sets of headers because since it was a sonvertable, it had some sort of extra crossbar thing in teh engine compartment that caused one of the pipes to have to go way down to avoid it, so sometimes it would bottom out and completly thrash that one pipe. Finally got some different springs/shocks in the front.
Hm, that was completly irrelevant.
Header Flanges
Here's a place that sells headers and flanges. The flanges are just plates of steel with the ports and holes to match a Cad head, then it's up to you to acquire a set of BBC (or BBF) headers, cut the BBC flange off, and affix the BBC header to the Cad flange. A pain, and no certainty of fit in the car, but cheaper than 'made' ones. Headers are a pain in general but I love 'em. Eventually I'd like to make a pair, the pre-made ones are SPENDY!

Re: i bought a 472
I knew I would be the dark cloud rolling in over the horizon.I am getting to old and tired I guess,it can happen.When you have your knuckles covered in scar tissue from cuts and burns it makes you want to just jump in a turn key auto.I just finnished a rebuild on a 1ton 4x4 chev truck.I used to own a salvage yard and believe me after a while you get burned out just looking at vehicles.I hope the spark jumps the gap soon so I can get fired up for another 10 years.Then again listening to some of you guys doing crazy engine swaps is getting the old blood flowing again.(where in the hell are my flanges at,I`m thinking about making some headers) Good luck to all you guys with your crazy projects,that`s why we are at the same site.
Re: i bought a 472
You wanna hear about crazy projects? Sometime I'll list a few. That's what keeps this interesting. We need a couple of motivated younger people with brains, time and money to get all this stuff sorted out so we can ask them what all the part numbers are.
BTW, engine mounts from a rear wheel drive 425 will work to install a 472/425/500 into an HT4100 RWD car. Replacement oil pump housing for 368 RWD and 425 RWD should be same thing. Originals were aluminum on some models. All replacemants that I've seen are cast iron. The important thing is to make sure that the steering linkage doesn't try to knock off the oil filter when turning. The old junkyard interchange books list all this stuff.

Hate your commute? Then pity workers in Beijing, Mexico City
By Belinda Goldsmith
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - If you think your drive to work is bad then spare a thought for commuters in the cities of Beijing, Mexico City and Johannesburg which have come top in a global poll of the worst driving commutes in the world.
An IBM Commuter Pain Study of 8,192 motorists in 20 cities, released Wednesday, found most commuters -- 67 percent -- said traffic has got worse in the past three years and it is making them sick and affecting how they do their job.
The survey found 65 percent of people driving to work every day say the journey makes them stressed, angry and reduces their sleep and family time while 29 percent said traffic was adversely impacting their performance at work or school.
Some cities came out worse than others with 22 percent of commuters in Mexico City taking more than an hour a day for a typical one-way trip to work compared to only two percent of commuters in New York or Madrid taking that long.
"Cities like Beijing and Mexico City have very long commutes and the uncertainty of the commute is high as one day it can take 45 minutes and the next day two hours," IBM's Global Lead for Intelligent Transportation Naveen Lamba told Reuters.
"This means a lot of time stuck in traffic and on occasions people just give up and go back home ... and it is not just the individuals affected but there is a cost for businesses and for the cities themselves. You have a cascading affect."
Rounding out the top 10 of the worst cities for commuters were Moscow, New Delhi, Sao Paulo, Milan, Buenos Aires, Madrid and London, with scores determined by up to 10 factors including commuting time, time stuck in traffic, and stress levels.
Lamba said this was the third annual commuter pain survey but this was the first global poll as the previous two had focused only on U.S. cities. Continued...

President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority urged the European Union to assume a more active role in the Middle East by becoming involved in maintaining peace between Israel and Palesinians. "I would like to stress again our request for the sending of international forces in order to protect our people." There is hesitancy among European Union members to send their military into the Middle East in order to keep Israeli and Palestinians from fighting one another. Abbas recognized that Israel is only one part of complex issues facing his administration which must also deal with the rebellious Hamas faction. His dilemma is that while Hamas shares his desire for a united Palestine, it refuses to recognize the existence of Israel as an independent nation.
Abbas understands there is need for a government of national consensus, but also one which is committed to the peace process. The president admitted while he wants peace with Israel he is also upset at crimes committed by Israel forces in Gaza. However, in his even handed manner, Abbas also admitted that Hamas had committed crimes by getting civilians involved in the fighting.
