Why I Love New Home Sales
Short and sweet – just complete the following sentence and post it in the response box.
"I love the new home sales business because…"
I'll go first.
I love the new home sales business because I know that people who are shopping for a home have real and serious emotional discomfort. We don't sell homes; we sell peace for the mind.
How about you? You love the new home sales business because…

I jumped into a pool the other day with my iphone first gen in my pocket. It probably saw water for a good 5 minutes.
When I got out I noticed that it was in my pocket, I immediately got it into a desiccant (White rice) and sealed it up into a Rubbermaid container. Thank you Apple for making it so hard to get the battery out!!!
When I got home I took it out and sealed it in a container full of Silica (It has a higher affinity to water than rice) and let it sit over night. The next day I got my precision tools and started working on getting the case off, it was a ****, even though I had a case opener tool it took me 2 hours, not something you want to do for fun, when I got into the iphone the battery was soldered to the circuit board so I had to desolder that and remove the battery.
I then took the phone and all the pieces but the battery to a Room Temperature Vacuum Chamber, seriously, the guy did a demonstration for me but putting in a cup half filled with water, it was bone dry in 5 minutes.
So I left my iphone in the chamber for 1 hour. It didn't work, there was and is NO water in that phone, I soldered the battery back to the board and it won't boot up, no lights, sounds, nothing. It's dead.
What could be the culprit? I tried hooking it up to the charger, still nothing.
What do you guys think?

To recognize three-dimensional objects bounded by smooth curved surfaces from monocular image contours, viewpoint-dependent image features must be related to object geometry.

We represent arbitrary smooth curved 3D shapes by a discrete set of HOT curves where a surface admits High Order Tangents.

KU'U HOME ULUWEHI, 'My Verdant Home', Ku'u (To release, let go and welcome relaxation). Uluwehi (Verdant, green, lush and beautiful. A place where beautiful plants and guests thrive). This spacious home is a place of peace within a garden.
Located steps away from Kailua Beach, voted 'Best Beach in the United States', KUU HOME ULUWEHI features two large master suites with private baths, a standard bedroom with its separate bathroom plus a queen sized 'punee' (Hawaiian couch) that sleeps two.
Our home is ideal for extended family and friends. There is a solar heated, round swimming pool with large steps to sit and sip in the water while enjoying the warmth of the sun. Two large outdoor umbrella tables and chairs each seating six guests. Lounge chairs for sunning and pool flotation devices.
The spacious lanai area acts as your outdoor living room with full view of the pool and tranquil swaying palms in the garden. You'll often find yourself watching TV, listening to music, reading or napping on the extra large couch and chair with ottoman.
The fully equipped kitchen opens to the dining area which overlooks the pool and gardens too. The round dining room table will seat 8–10 with a Lazy Susan for passing. We also have a barbeque grill, various cookware and bakeware for preparing delicious meals.
KUU HOME ULUWEHI is conveniently located in a quiet beachside neighborhood. Just a few minutes' stroll to beautiful Kailua Beach and around the corner from local landmark Kalapawai Market, a popular deli and small grocery store. There are also many restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away if you don't want to cook.
Our first Master Suite (Nuuanu Pali Suite) is a large room with a sleep number bed to adjust to your comfort. Fully air conditioned. It also has a sitting area and a 55" flat screen TV. There is a small private garden with lava rock wall, umbrella table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee and read outside next to the plumeria tree.

There is a sink and vanity for gentlemen to shave as well as a separate vanity area for a lady to sit at the same time and apply her makeup with great lighting, magnifying mirror and her own space.

We were very pleased with our stay. The house is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood, just a few minute's walk from beautiful Kailua beach. The house is spacious and light. It does not have luxury interior decor, but we had no complaints, and we'd rather put our money towards location and functionality, which was excellent. Loved having our own pool in a very private backyard. Very quick drive or nice walk to the shops and restaurants of Kailua. Uta is excellent to work with, and even saved us when our housekey took an unexpected trip to the ocean floor on a snorkel trip, and she had a new one there waiting for us before we arrived back home. I was expecting that we'd be charged a fee for that, but we weren't - just part of the excellent customer service. And there was a very nice welcome basket waiting for us at the beginning of our stay. Overall, we felt very well taken care of, and would definitely stay here again next time we come to Oahu.
We spent a week at the Kuu Kailua home in February and had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Uta is extremely easy to reach and quick to return emails. She emailed before we arrived with all the pertinent information and even phoned during our stay to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction and that we didn't have any questions. She has compiled a binder for guests with maps, nearby restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment and all sorts of helpful tips. With 4 adults in our family, the home offered plenty of space for everyone. We travel frequently and I can honestly say this home has everything and more. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil, skillet, knife, etc that you could possibly need. Imagine my delight at finding it even had a rice cooker! The home is immaculate, complete with laundry facilities, hairdryers, beach towels and beach chairs. The pool is well maintained surrounded by a lovely private backyard. If you aren't a pool person, the beach is a pleasant 5 minute walk. To my surprise, we received a call from Uta the day before we were to depart letting us know that if we needed a late check out she would be happy to accommodate us. We were not scheduled to depart until 5:00pm so it was much appreciated. This is the perfect vacation rental. You will not be disappointed. We have already recommended this home to several friends. We look forward to our next visit
We have been coming to Kailua every year for about 10 years and have stayed in many different homes, the Kuu home was an excellent choice!!!! First of all Uta was very friendly and accommodating, check in was a breeze. The house is very roomy and comfortable. I loved the layout of the living room and kitchen looking out over your beautiful pool area and private setting. It's so nice to come home after your daily activities to a dip in the pool. It's also an easy walk to the beach. We all really enjoyed our stay and will return. Flip (the owner) was great too, very helpful and friendly.
This is the second time our family has rented from Uta, and this was as pleasant and seamless as the first time. We were in Kailua for a wedding. Our family consisted of three generations, and this house delivered for everyone! We wanted close access to the beach, a pool, a yard to kick a soccer ball, and enough room inside to spread out. Our family has rented in Kailua before, but this house was the BEST! The separate suites gave families privacy, and the several sitting areas did deliver in the need for our family to spread out. The location was an easy walk to the access lane for the beach. The kids lived in the pool and the yard. We wanted for nothing. We love to cook our meals when here, and the kitchen was well stocked. We often ate out on the lanai, but we had the option to eat inside, too. The wall of windows facing the pool and lanai gave the illusion of the outside and inside being one. Thank you, Uta, for all your help in making a smooth transition from our previous rental home, and for your kindness and helpfulness. Our family will definitely rent this home again. I would highly recommend this home.
Our stay at the Kuu Home was wonderful. The house is very big. The Kalakaua suite was perfect for the teanagers. They loved having their own space. I loved that there was a door connecting the suite to the main house. The main house had several sitting areas, very roomy. The kitchen had everything we need to cook meals and even bake brownies. The yard is amazing. Many trees and shrubs give you privacy from the neighbors. The pool is large and deep. Pool toys and beach chairs are available. Kailua beach park is a very short drive. There is beach access right around the corner if you wanted to take a 5 minute walk. The house is in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Uta was very helpful from start to finish.
Wonderful stay for a week over Thanksgiving! Six adults...very comfortable for all. Pool area is perfect and beautiful beach a short walk away. Property manager, Uta, was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Definitely will recommend to friends and hope to be back!
Located in a very quiet & upscale beachside Kailua neighborhood, less than a 5 minute stroll to beautiful Kailua Beach, just a few minutes walk to famous Kalapawai Market and local landmark Buzz's restaurant, nearby to shopping and dining in Kailua town, fabulous location!

How to cook pumpkin seeds in the oven boil
Although we cant help you with the houses supply kind sized candy bars with my best friend - it was all so. Thank you for sharing this recipe I what I was going to do with to lick them when they come out of the oven cuz their hot like.
I recently bought a pack of pumpkin - I have only cleaned them up, tried them at home. Maple syrup is combined with chipotle chile baking the soaked seeds for a longer the ones you see in the grocery spicy like the previous blend. From here I get a large slotted spoon and take seeds out and put to eat them.
My children are planning to carve TWO the pumpkin seeds after they have spread the seeds will float to the top. I recommend the lower temperature, because you're at the store are coming from China but we don't always have time for in between, until the seeds are crisp. Spread the seeds in a single layer and they yielded about 2 12 cups.
If you still want to clean your the slow roasting process allows you to spreading over an additional baking sheet to without having to babysit the seeds in.

37mm Marsh Mortar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 37mm Marsh Mortar was a compact commando mortar developed by the Iranian Army during the Iran-Iraq War. It is very similar in concept to the WWII Soviet 37mm Spade Mortar. Though not officially designated as marsh mortar, the term is used by academics in describing this mortar.
Though small for a mortar, 37mm was the maximum shell size for which recoil did not drive the mortar into the soft ground.[1]

The present invention relates to a temperature-activated valve and more particularly to a valve which can be attached to an existing external faucet so as to cause the faucet, and the water line feeding the faucet, to continuously drip water and, thus, keep the line and the faucet from freezing when the outside temperature drops below freezing.
The problem of installed plumbing, particularly in the southern part of the United States, often includes outside water faucets which do not have adequate protection from an occasional severe drop in temperature to below freezing. The problem is so common that in many cities of the south the television weatherman will advise, "Drip your faucets tonight and until the freeze is over." If not dripped, the water in the faucet freezes, the forming ice expands, and the faucet may rupture. When the temperature rises to above freezing, the water runs from the ruptured faucet, sometimes being undetected for long periods. In more severe cases the water in the line feeding the faucet may also freeze and rupture that line. Inasmuch as such lines are normally within the walls, floors, or ceilings of a structure, the resulting water flow can cause considerable damage beyond that of the necessity to replace the damaged faucet. Yet many people forget, are not home, or do not know how to drip a faucet.
Prior proposed devices describe a number of approaches toward solving this problem. Such solutions range from insulating the faucet (which generally only postpones the freezing) to devices which contract to open a bypass (U.S. Pat. No. 1,277,197 to Crandon), devices having a one-time release via pressure and temperature (U.S. Pat. No. 3,320,965 to D. L. Morgan), thermostatic wafers (U.S. Pat. No. 3,397,711 to Strange), and the use of thermally expanding or contracting fluids (U.S. Pat. No. 4,205,698 to Hucks and U.S. Pat. No. 3,446,226 to Canterbury). Some solutions utilize water freezing and expanding as the activating mechanism (U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,253 to Ljutove, U.S. Pat. No. 3,369,556 to Allderdice, U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,464 to Arterbury, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,437,481 to Chamberlin). Bacon, in U.S. Pat. No. 330,664, uses the differential expansion of two metals in contact with water and in combination with a water service pipe and a waste water pipe to provide a bypass to the waste water pipe.
An object of the present invention is to provide an entire whole valve for removable attachment to an external water faucet, which valve will automatically bleed, or drip, sufficient line water to prevent the faucet and adjacent line from freezing when the outside temperature drops below freezing.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a valve which will attain an increased flow or bleed of water as required by decreasing ambient temperature conditions to prevent freezing of water in the faucet.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a valve which requires no resetting after actuation.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a valve which, though temperature-sensitive, has resilient seals capable of opening with contraction and yet allows further compression beyond the initial setting.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a valve having vents which allow the ambient air to reach the temperature-sensitive members and allow the escape of released water.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a valve which utilizes the differential linear coefficients of thermal expansion of a metal and of a plastic to activate the opening and closing of a valve seat but, when opened, water flow becomes self-regulating to balance heat loss to the atmosphere with latent heat input from the flowing water.
The present invention provides a self-actuating drip valve for attachment to a standard faucet for the prevention of freezing exposed water pipes. An elongated housing includes a collar for securing one end of the housing about the outer end of the faucet, with a tube extending from the collar which terminates in a closure such as a cap or plug. A stem extends from the closure through the tube and mates with an exit port extending through the collar. A compressible seal adjacent the stem closes the passageway between the collar and the interior of the tube when the ambient temperature is above freezing. The tube and stem are of different materials, one being plastic and the other being metal. Since the plastic and metal have different coefficients of expansion, a reduction of ambient temperature to a point near freezing releases the seal and permits water to flow. The tube includes release ports for passage of water outwardly from the tube. Once water flows, a self-regulation of flow occurs which balances heat loss of the valve to the atmosphere with latent heat input by the water.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the seal of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a modification of the valve of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a graphic illustration of the operation of the valve;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a further modification of the valve of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of the valve of FIG. 5.
Turning now to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is disclosed thermally-activated drip valve 11 comprising metal tube 13 having external threading 15 and 17 on either end thereof. Collar 19, which is of a plastic material, includes internally threaded boreholes 21 and 23 at either end thereof. Threaded borehole 21 is adapted to be attached to an outside faucet and may be provided with a standard washer 25.
Threads 15 of metal tube 13 mate with the internal threads 23 in collar 19. External threads 17 at the other end of tube 13 accept a closure, such as cap 37, which has internal threads which mate with threads 17. Stem 29, which is of a plastic material, extends from cap 37 through the length of tube 13 and terminates in tip 31. Tip 31 enters into exit port 27 in collar 19. The other end of stem 29 terminates in an externally threaded reduced section 33 which passes through borehole 35 and cap 37. Stem 29 is secured to cap 37 by means of nut 39 and lock washer 41.
Compressible O-ring 43 passes about tip 31 so as to provide a seal as the relative position of stem 29 and collar 19 are properly adjusted. When the adjustment is properly made, set screw 51 may be used to secure tube 13 in such a position.
The operation of the valve is as follows: The valve is assembled as shown, with a predetermined compression of O-ring 43, and collar 19 is screwed onto the standard hose threads of a faucet (not shown) creating a seal using washer 25. The valve must be between 0� and 80� from vertical, downward. The faucet is then turned on and the combination of faucet and valve are prepared for winter's "hard freezes." As the outside temperature drops, stem 29, which is of a plastic material, shrinks more than does tube 13, which is of a metallic material. This causes the seal created at O-ring 43 to lessen and then open, allowing water to escape as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2. With a proper predetermined compression of O-ring 43, this water flow will begin at a temperature of between 33� F. and about 35� F.
Once water flow begins, the latent heat of the water above the valve's opening set-point temperature enters into the valve's function and there commences a second stage of control. The released water runs down the internals of the valve and exits at exit holes 47, usually in drops. The water is above freezing and transfers heat to tube 13. By some complex and unexplained heat transfers within the valve itself, and because of the two materials of construction having differential coefficients of thermal expansion, the valve self-regulates water flow so as to balance the heat lost to the atmosphere by the faucet and the valve with the available latent heat from the water. The valve controls flow to just that required considering the outside temperature and the temperature of the inlet water. Typical operation of the valve in this second stage of control results in a flow measurable by several drops per second. One drop per second is about one pint per hour. One pint is about one pound.
FIG. 4 shows the compression and the opening of the seal which would result from straight linear thermal expansion and shrinkage of a five-inch plastic stem 29 and a metallic tube 13. The theoretical opening is shown in a dotted line. Such opening actually occurs when the valve is dry. The test valve followed the expected line from, say, 75� F. to the set point of 34� F. Then, at temperatures below that, when water flows and the second stage of control is in effect, further opening and/or closing of the valve is very minute. Flow varies from about one to about three drops per second, or pounds per hour. The variation is shown in dotted lines with the average shown as a solid line. Calculations indicate that the valve, under these conditions, opens no further than another one-half thousandth of an inch, even at 0� F., yet flows just suffucient water to prevent freezing.
In one typical test, with inlet water temperature at 68� F., the valve flowed 0.7 pounds per hour at an ambient temperature of 20� F. The exit water temperature was 40� F. At 0� F. ambient the flow was one pound per hour and exit water temperature was 35� F. The next day an identical test was run except that inlet water temperature was 45� F. Water flowed 1.8 pounds per hour at 20� F. ambient with an exit temperature of 34� F. and three pounds per hour with an exit temperature of 34� at 0� F. ambient. In both cases the flow balanced 20 BTU/hr. at 20� F. and 33 BTU/hr. at 0� F. The variation of flow with inlet water temperature to balance heat loss assures that the valve will work at minimum flow whether the water is from a warm house or a cold garage.
The literature gives coefficients of linear thermal expansion of aluminum as 12.4�10-6 inches per inch per degree F. It lists steel at 7.0 to 10.0 on the same scale, and brass at 10.0. Plastics are shown with coefficients, on the same scale, from 38.0 to 100.0, or about four to ten times that of metals. The test valves of this invention used aluminum and stainless steel for the tube 13, and ABS and polyacetal as the stems 29, all of which combinations worked well. The ABS and the polyacetal stems had measured coefficients of 50.0.
The presetting of a temperature when the valve will first open to begin dripping is very important. If set too low, water in the faucet or valve may freeze and not flow even when the valve opens. If set too high the valve will run water unnecessarily, even above freezing. Dripping should begin in a range of 33� F. to 35� F. As commercially available O-rings have tolerances of only +0.003" or -0.003" in thickness and the setpoint adjustment is a matter of less than 0.001", then each assembled valve should be individually set and locked in place with set screw 51. Once a valve is set, the consumer merely needs to screw the valve to the faucet and turn the faucet on. An opening set at 34� F., with the materials being aluminum for tube 13 and ABS for stem 29 means that at 70� F. the seal at O-ring 43 will be compressed about 7 thousandths of an inch (mils). Thus, the seal must be elastically compressible.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a drip valve similar to that of FIG. 1 which illustrates a variation on the construction of the valve. In this embodiment, tube 77 and collar 79 are all of one material (such as metal), while plug 85 and stem 87 are all of the same material (in this case, plastic). Again, internal threads 83 are adapted to match an outdoor faucet, while plug 85 has external threads 89 which mate with internal threads 90 at the distal end of tube 77. Tube 77 also includes water exit holes 91.
Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6, a further embodiment illustrates that the present invention is not limited to the use of O-rings. In this illustration, the roles of tube 163 and stem 165 are reversed. Tube 163 is of metal and stem 165 is of plastic. Cap 137 retains stem 135 in the same manner as described relative to FIG. 1. Additionally, collar 119 is of the same material and configuration as that shown in FIG. 1.
In the particular configuration shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, stem 165 includes reduced section 167 which passes through exit port 127 of collar 119. Compressible member 169 is mounted to the distal end of reduced section 167 by means such as nut 171.
In this configuration, plastic tube 163 shrinks faster than stem 165. This will force stem 165 in a direction which is to the left in FIGS. 5 and 6 so as to create an opening between compressible member 169 and exit port 127 so as to release water flow, as shown in FIG. 6.
It is to be understood that variations in the invention could be made. As an example, the differential length change between the stem and tube can be amplified by the use of two or more pairs, or sets, of concentric tubes, each consisting of a plastic stem and a metal tube so joined at both the distal and proximate ends of each tubular segment that their differential distances become additive. Such an arrangement could be used either to amplify the total resultant differential motion in a given overall length of the valve or used to shorten the overall length while attaining equivalent motion differential.
It will now be apparent that the present invention, using the differential coefficient of linear thermal expansion of metal and of plastic, provides a significant improvement over prior art valves due to its simple construction, which is removably attachable to an outside water faucet and is free from sliding seals and the use of special fluids.
It is to be understood that the above description and drawings are illustrative, only, since various modifications could be made without departing from the invention, the scope of which is to be limited only by the following claims.

Subject: RE: congrats
Thanks Paul. I really appreciate your kind words and hope to see you there. You are right about a special person catching my eye with all the good looking women just waiting to talk to you. Truth be told, you get accustomed to it after a while. That's when you start noticing other qualities (important ones). I needed that experience 7 years ago, but like with everything, it comes with time and practice even when things go against you. On the trip we were on, I only sought to have a great time and enjoy myself for change. There was no pressure to do anything but eat, sleep and spend some time with friends getting reacquainted. I would do it the same way again even if I hadn't met Liliana because you get to see people for who they are after a while, but you already know that J. So, here's to you securing the woman who best fits the man that you are. Take care.

Fans of Grammy award-winning singer, Steven Curtis Chapman can hear him in Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Ark Encounter in Williamstown.
Chapman will be the first public Ark Encounter performer since the park's grand opening last year. Over the course of his three-decade career, he has won five Grammys, 58 Dove awards, and one American Music Award. Chapman has sold nearly 11 million albums and has had numerous No. 1 radio hits, including "Live Out Loud", "Love Take Me Over" and "Speechless."
As members of Dry Ridge Baptist Church reflect on a Christian history that has spanned 200 years, they are excited about the church's future.
On July 22, the fellowship hall was filled with chatter as members carried in covered dishes, layer cakes and pies.
It was a meet-and-greet fellowship with Brandon Burks, his wife Traci and their children, 3-year-old Haddon and 6-month-old Noël.
Burks preached a trial sermon the next day and the church voted overwhelmingly to call him as a full-time pastor.
Kathleen Ritzi has always been an animal lover.

How to Keep Your Weave Fresh and Fabulous
We spend a grip on hair extensions, so we might as well get our money's worth by grooming them properly to ensure longevity. The rule of thumb is to treat weaves as if they were your own hair, which means with lots of TLC. And while these strands aren't growing out of your scalp, you bought it (with receipts to prove it), so technically it is "your hair" and should be treated as such. Extensions are an investment with a lengthy pay off. They can last for weeks on end if maintained correctly with these products and pro-tips.

Licensed aesthetician and professional makeup artist Gayle Short helms Permanently Pretty, wielding Tattoo Vanish, an all-natural, non-laser tattoo-removal treatment that lightens unwanted ink. During the session, Gayle re-tattoos the epidermal art with a clear gel steeped in the anesthetic lidocaine and waits for the gel to cling to the existing ink, which can be of any color or political persuasion. The gel is then wiped off and the tattoo moves through the four stages of grief: drying, scabbing over, falling away, and acceptance. The process leaves behind a much lighter tattoo after a quartet of sessions.

By EDWARD SCHUMACHER, Special to the New York Times
Published: July 27, 1986
MADRID, July 26— A new Cabinet with few changes was sworn in here today, reflecting Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez's determination to maintain continuity despite high unemployment and a new round of Basque terrorism.
Mr. Gonzalez, a Socialist who is slightly left of center, was sworn in for his second four-year term this week after his party won a parliamentary majority in elections June 22.
Among the 15 Cabinet officers sworn in by King Juan Carlos in a brief ceremony in the Zarzuela Palace were four new officials, each in secondary positions. The key ministries of Economy, Interior, Foreign Affairs and Defense did not change hands.
Among the new Cabinet members are Industry Minister Luis Carlos Croissier, a 36-year-old whose rise has been meteoric, and Labor Minister Manuel Chaves, a former official of the Socialist-allied General Union of Workers, who is expected to help improve the sensitive relations between the Government and unions. Julian Garcia Vargas is the new Health Minister. Two New Ministries
Two ministries - Territorial Administration and the Presidency - were abolished, and two were established. Virgilio Zapatero, who was an administrative coordinator in the Government, was promoted to head one new ministry, called Parliamentary Relations and Secretariat of the Government. Joaquin Almunia, who had been Minister of Labor, will take charge of the other new ministry, Public Administration.
Socialist officials said Mr. Gonzalez might make a more fundamental reorganization of the Cabinet at the end of the year.
The retention of Interior Minister Jose Barrionuevo, an unpopular figure with much of the Spanish press, was seen by the officials as reflecting a desire by Mr. Gonzalez not to show weakness in the face of growing violence by Basque separatists. Explosions Near Basque Barracks
This morning two Civil Guards were killed when a bomb exploded in a field outside barracks near Arechavaleta in the Basque region. The guardsmen were inspecting the field, where two bombs had exploded earlier, raising suspicions that the third was a booby trap, officials said.
No one has taken responsibility for the bombs, but Civil Guardsmen said they suspected the separatists. One of the dead guardsmen, Lieut. Ignacio Mateu, was the son of a Supreme Court Judge, Jose Mateu, who was shot to death by the Basque group in 1978.
Three Civil Guardsmen were slightly wounded earlier this morning when four grenades hit barracks in Villafranca de Ordicia, officials said.
The separatists have taken reponsibility for killing 10 Civil Guardsmen and wounding 55 others in a car bomb attack July 14 in Madrid. They have also taken reponsibility for a grenade and car-bomb attack on Monday at the Defense Ministry in which nine people were wounded. Criticism From Opposition
The conservative opposition, led by Manuel Fraga Iribarne, head of the Popular Coalition, charged this week that Mr. Gonzalez's response to the violence was inadequate.
''The current anti-terrorist laws are not enough,'' said Mr. Fraga, who has called on the Government to declare a state of emergency to give the police extra powers.
Mr. Gonzalez vowed in Parliament this week to capture the people responsible for the Madrid attacks. But he dismissed calls for tougher measures by saying that heightened police effectiveness, the growing lure of a limited amnesty program and greater cooperation by France were already weakening the Basque group.
''We have put an end to the false hopes of a group of murderers bent on attacking our society,'' he said.

"Geometry, suppose maths skills are inherited to some extent." I think
"Pops, its best you tell the teacher yourself." I encourage her. "Naaahhh he doesn't listen anyway" she says. "That should not stop you from trying."
I have a house with a garden and a toilet, I fulfilled my childhood dream. Being unable to take care of my needs as a pensioner is my fear. I was on my way to beating this fear.
What are Pops dreams and fears? Is 95% not enough or was it an injustice that agitated her?
My father could never afford a house with a garden. Growing up in Apartheid as a non-white oppressed person, most opportunities where blocked by the government.
Most people in my community have to work till they die; they have no pension plan and depend on people when they are old and weak.
My ancestors came to South Africa as slaves over 300 years ago. In 1948 they were grouped as 3rd grade humans and denied their humans rights. Hence, my dad could not get educated and could only rent a small house with no garden and a toilet in the yard.
I knew my ticket out was a university education. At 18, in 1988, the white universities had started allowing some non-white students in. To show the world they were changing. However, the few spots available were only for the top students and were not sponsored.
I had a skill with maths and my parents, who only went to school for a few years, encouraged me to get to university.
Which I did. I got educated; I worked as an engineer for 18 years in various countries, and mostly in Europe. I bought the house with a garden and even more.
Then destiny deals me a sickness that prevents office work. I lose my job and my fear returns. A Slave at the mercy of the new masters, the insurance companies.
Will they pay out my claim?
Will I lose my garden and be dependent?
How will I care for family?
Will they pay out my claim?
Will I lose my garden and be dependent?
How will I care for family?

Best Boxing Television Shows of All Time
Which is The Best?
Which is your favorite television boxing show?
This show debuted in 2007 on HBO and it's a huge hit. It features two boxers before their upcoming bouts. It's more or less a reality show with slight editing about the boxers at home, in the gym and everywhere in between. It's narrated by Liev Shreiber and it tells you lots of personal and professional information about the prizefighters lives in and out of the squared circle.
This show originally aired before the Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather PPV fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a four part series that aired thirty minutes each episode. Since that time the show has expanded to other fights and fighters featuring the likes of Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, Sergio Martinez and Sugar Shane Mosley. Also, 24/7 has now expanded to the NHL and Nascar. The show's most intense scenes always have the perfect music to go with them and of course Liev Shreiber has a way of making everything dramatic. The show allows you to see all the major press conferences, weigh ins and preflight hype attached to the bouts. The music, interviews and up close and personal behind the scenes footage makes this a must see show for die hard boxing pundits.
The Contender
The Contender (ESPN)
The Contender aired from 2005-2008 and it featured Sugar Ray Leonard and Sylvester Stallone. This reality style show showed boxers who compete with each other in a bracket tournament. At home, shopping, training, eating and anything else people do is what this show is all about. The show helped several boxers that either won the tournament or was a runner up get ranked highly and in some cases move on to world title bouts.
The 16 boxers are split into two groups living in two areas. Usually group A resides on the west coast in Las Vegas or in California while group B stays and trains in the East Coast in New York. The first three seasons were hosted by Sugar Ray Leonard with Sly Stallone also appearing in season one. Tony Danza took over the reigns hosting the final season which aired on the Versus network.
Sergio Mora won season one and ended up fighting for and winning a Jr. Middleweight title and the runner up boxer Peter Manfredo, Jr. Fought for the super middleweight crown. Season three winner Sakio Bika ended up winning the super middleweight crown.
Light's Out
Light's Out (FX)
Light's Out aired on the FX channel in 2011 for one season. It produced 13 shows and it's about a boxer who wants to comeback to the ring. Patrick "Lights" Leary plays as a former heavyweight champion who has to box again to support his family.
Light's Out has some very dramatic moments and although it's fictional it still has some fact based realities of the sport including Dementia as a focal point of the series. It's really too bad that the show did not have enough promotion and advertisement attached to it because it was a high quality television series to say the least.
The program is based in New Jersey and after a retirement that was nothing but headaches and empty pockets, Leary must either make a boxing comeback or go to work for a local gangster as a street tough that collects for the mob. It's a wonderful drama show whether you like prizefighting or not and besides the show isn't just about fighting it's about Lights Leary's life as a whole with all of his struggles.
Five Great 24/7 Endings
All Access (Showtime)
All Access (Showtime)
All Access is a behind the scenes boxing reality show made by Showtime that made it's debut in 2012. It's similar to HBO's 24/7 boxing show with constant narration and cameras following the fighters and their teams everywhere they go leading up to a forthcoming bout.
Each show airs for 30 minutes and it's fully narrated from start to finish with interviews from the fighters and managers. Get intimate with the boxers and their family, friends and entourage by seeing them at home, working out and even driving and buying cars and clothing among other things. We have all seen Pacquiao's mansions, Floyd Mayweather at the amusement park with his family and friends not to mention driving expensive cars. That's what this series is all about.
The show is a huge success having already won a Sports Emmy it's second year with Mayweather vs. Canelo All Access Epilogue. The show also covers the world of Mixed Martial Arts in a similar fashion with the same great narration.

Next Great Champ (FOX)
The Next Great Champ was financed and starred Oscar De La Hoya. Amateur boxers trained together and then competed against each other with guidance from professional trainers. The winner gets a Golden Boy Promotions contract and a large cash bonus. The series had nine total episodes and the final winner was Otis Griffin who won the light heavyweight (175 pound) championship of the series.
The boxers can not have been in any professional fights and they must have very limited amateur experience in order to participate. The show had trainers Lou Duva and Tommy Brooks which for true boxing fans was a delight. Also, Even though the show was not up to par with its competitor The Contender it odd have it's finer points. The main one being that the show was full of constant guest appearances such as: Larry Holmes, Joe Frazier and Floyd Mayweather, Sr.
