What size of drill bits do i need to get for making PCB's? Is there a fairly basic few bits i will need? I'm going to drilling a few Simple Renard 32 PCB out and what to use the right size of bits.

You need little ones. Wire drills. I've bought a lot from widgetsupply.com -- and they actually last quite a long time, yet they're super-cheap. You get ten bits in a little tube for about $3.
You'll need different sizes, so check the pads on your PCB layout to find out the sizes of the holes. Then order appropriate bits.
Here's a link to widgetsupply's dremel bit page...
If you're going to use a drill press, make sure it will actually hold the bit. My little Sears press couldn't tighten down on the real little ones (I think #72 or so) but my new Jet has no problem. A dremel type press probably won't have an issue. Drilling is the only reason I don't make more of my own boards - ugh...

0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 mm would cover you for almost everything. You'll need to use a drill press for the small ones, or you'll just break them.
For home made board I have pretty much standardised on 0.8, 1.2 and 3.2mm dia. Every thing gets drilled out at 0.8 first. I then step out to the larger drills where needed.
Carbide is good but I break them too quickly. They as very intolerant of any lateral movement with drilling. I found I was getting ready to move to the next hole too soon.
On a drill press you use the highest speed selection.

Observing that the days of the Janata Dal-United government were numbered after 'divorce' from the National Democratic Alliance, Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad on Tuesday said that his 22 members of Legislative Assembly would vote against the government in Wednesday's trust vote.
"My party will definitely vote against the Kumar government during the trust vote in the legislative Assembly on Wednesday," he told reporters.
On the possibility of the Janata Dal-United attacking the RJD for voting against the 'secular' government, Prasad said that he was least bothered and pointed out his party's decision to vote against the JD-U government was on a firm ideological ground and commitment to the people.
"It does not matter to me that the BJP will vote against the JD-U government...ours is an independent decision which has nothing to do with the stand of the saffron party," the
RJD supremo clarified.
Prasad, who had launched a 'Parivartan Yatra' against the National Democratic Alliance government and held an impressive public meeting in Patna last month, said that he had been vindicated for asserting that the Nitish Kumar government's days in power were numbered due to arrogance of the chief minister and a host of other reasons.
"The JD-U government may not go as it has mustered support of the four independent MLAs and the Congress MLAs (4) may bail it out during the trust vote on Wednesday, but the beginning of the end of this government has well and truly begun," he claimed.
On Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's praise of Nitish Kumar as a 'secular' leader after parting ways with the NDA two days ago, Prasad sought to downplay the development, saying that Singh is a gentleman who says kind words about anyone.
"I will not pass judgement on the PM's 'secular' praise to the chief minister," he said.
To a question that the JD-U may try to poach his MLAs to garner majority in the state assembly, the RJD supremo said that he was very much sure that all attempt to woo his
legislators will fail as no one would like to jump on a sinking ship.

The multiple desserts - that was extreme.
I just hope that was an entire afternoon's worth, rather than just 30 minutes of disgusting gorging.
Ooh, by the way, my verification word is Relbrina.... which does sound rather like the name of a damsel in a fantasy novel, doesn't it?
Or maybe it's just a brand of lavatory cleaner.
In one of the infinite parallel universes... both are true. At the same time? Which is unfortunate for our poor Relbrina - no Prince will marry a girl named after a scouring powder.

There's only one place you learn to eat like that. Prison.
Very impressive, btw. Your abilities are humbling. I ate two whole pies in one day a couple of years ago. My stomach couldn't handle it, and it gave me diarehha and I lost a few pounds.

It's a particular problem for me - as a compulsive, but bad, anagram addict, I am always likely to type something like 'dolphin sperm' when it actually says 'sppmoreldn'.

First Ascent MysteryClimbing the route Peacehammer (IV UIAA / 5.6 YDS) I made a possible FA of Maja Shkurt.
When attempting the climb I have not heard of any earlier ascents of Maja Shkurt. At the summit I found no sign of human presence. However while I was climbing, nearby on the same mountain face my friend Gordan (Dinaric-ZG) found a short rusty piece of steel cable fixed to the rock, with a loop at its end, which looked like a kind of via ferrata-style climbing aid. He did not follow that route further on.
Maja Shkurt is among the highest peaks above Ropojana valley and, while remote, is relatively not too difficult technically. Although climbing was not very popular in Communist Albania, this peak must have still attracted mountaineers' attention, just like it was tempting for me to climb it now. I know from the SP-er JohnEly that since 1959 Albanian climbers, initially accompanied by East Germans, have put up a number of routes in this mountain range, so they might have scaled Maja Shkurt just as well. I will do my best to research this subject in the nearest future, but for the time being the matter of first ascent remains a mystery. So far I can only quite certainly claim the FA of my route. At the summit I built a little cairn and put a plastic bottle inside it with the details of my climb.
Maja Shkurt is a beautiful mountain from far away but a heap of moss'n'choss at a closer look. Some better but harder climbing may perhaps be found only at its remote Stani Koprishtit face. I just looked for an FA possibility along the line of least resistance. The route is therefore more of an ugly scramble than an awe-inspiring or elegant line but it still gave me one hell of adventure and fun.
The spire on the left is the higher of 2 summits of Maja Koprishtit.
Maja Lagojvet can be seen far right.
Topography of the Summit AreaMaja Shkurt rises above two great valleys of Prokletije: Ropojana to its east and the remote enormous glacial cirque of Stani Koprishtit to its west. Topography of the summit area is quite complicated with several shorter side ridges branching off it, especially towards Ropojana.
The distinct NW face of Maja Shkurt towers above Stani Koprishtit, offering a potential of future interesting climbs. To its right, the west side features a hidden steep couloir which might provide an easier option but would probably not make for nice climbing due to very loose rock and near vertical grass. The same concerns the short SW ridge dividing the Stani Koprishtit and Ropojana sides of the mountain. At its opposite side however, the N-NE ridge forms a sheer drop of vertical limestone.
The Ropojana side is way more complicated, consisting of a few side ridges with smaller corries between them. The longest of those ridges features several spires and trends generally eastwards. To its north there is a distinctive corrie squeezed among Maja Shkurt, Maja Lagojvet and one smaller peak in between. Another corrie sits to the south of the summit area, making the top end of the system of smaller valleys branching off Ropojana. It is surrounded by Maja Shkurt itself, two smaller peaks in its SW ridge (which probably share the name Maja Koprishtit) and one peaklet branching off east of that ridge. My route begins in the latter corrie, at the south face of the mountain. Unfortunately for climbing, practically the whole Ropojana side of Maja Shkurt consists of loose rock and steep grass. There may be other possibilities of climbs of similar difficulty on the same face.
ApproachFor details how to reach the towns of Plav and Gusinje in Montenegro see the main page of Prokletije.
From Gusinje follow the road to Vusanje and leave your car there. We left our cars by the now disused border police station. Walk the dirt road to Ropojana valley. About 2 km further, pass the karstic spring Oko Skakavice on your right – this is a good stop for rest and refreshment and water is great for drinking. As for 2011, further up the valley the dirt road is completely damaged by recent floodings, although some short sections have already been repaired with new gravel. The remains of the road soon end and you follow a trail in the forest, scarcely marked in red, to the periodic lake which is usually dry in summer. Behind the lake, cross the border with Albania and follow the red-marked trail up a steep slope in the forest to the higher terrace of Ropojana valley (8 km, 3-4 h from Vusanje). There are good places for camping there. A water spring can be found by the shepherds' settlement (katun) Fusha Runices. The shepherds live there in summer, are friendly and will probably not mind you camping nearby but it is always polite to ask first.
Crossing the border outside official crossings is officialy illegal (see the Red Tape section below). In order to stay at the right side of the law, enter Albania via one of official border crossings and go to Ropojana from the south (from Thethi) across the Qafa Peje pass (described e.g. here). The trail is marked red all the way. From Qafa Peje descend to Ropojana and find the beginning of the approach as described below.
The settlement is situated below a distinctive band of rocks in the western slopes of Ropojana. To reach the base of the route, pass this band, go further up the valley until the meadows become broader and turn right, possibly finding some old faint paths leading to another shepherds' settlement (Buni Vukoces). This one was used when I was there in 2005 but was abandoned in 2011, its owner (Rasim) now using the one below. Trending right, follow a faint path up the grassy slopes in a system of smaller valleys and depressions (old sheep dung often marks the path). Near the base of Maja Shkurt grass gives way to boulder fields which have to be crossed. Walk up to the corrie between the south slopes of Maja Shkurt, the two peaks of Maja Koprishtit and one smaller peaklet to the south. Cross the scree to the base of the face. The route begins to the right of a small cave. Click the photos below for details.
Route DescriptionThe route climbs the right hand side of the peak's south face. I rope-soloed pitch 1 and then scrambled ropeless the remaining part to the summit. For convenience I will however use the names 'pitch 2' and 'pitch 3' for the further two distinctive sections of the route. Click the photos below for details.
Pitch 1
IV UIAA (5.6 YDS), 45 m
Set up the belay below a small overhang a few metres right of the cave. Negotiate the overhang on good holds with legs bridging wide (IV). Climb several metres up the left-leaning grassy depression (I-II), then negotiate the rocks, bypassing the main depression line slightly to the left (loose rock, IV). Then again scramble on easier grass until another rocky section which you again preferably negotiate on the left (loose rock, big runout, IV). Finally climb the easier grass to the belay anchor.
In the bottom half of the pitch I hammered in 2 pegs and placed 3 small to medium wires, one of which ripped. My last piece was below the 2nd rocky section – I found the upper half quite unprotectable, running it out some 20 m to the belay.
Pitch 2
II UIAA (Class 4 YDS), 50 m
Climb the grassy depression, initially easier then gradually steepening, near vertical towards the end (up to 70 degrees). The rocks are few and far between and cannot be trusted, but the grass is robust and can be most often used as handholds. The 'pitch' is practically unprotectable and tops up at a wide grassy notch with a rocky spire to the right.
Pitch 3
II-III UIAA (Class 4 to low 5 YDS), 50 m
At the notch take a few steps to the left towards a small, several metres high rock wall. Bypass it at the left by climbing up a small chimney. Then cautiously traverse the rocks to the right and climb the steep, in places near vertical grass until you reach the ridge. This 'pitch' is also practically unprotectable.
After topping out follow the easy grassy-rocky ridge to the right then left towards the summit.
Due to loose rock, poor pro or absolute lack thereof at the steep grass sections and overall danger I do not encourage anyone to repeat this route. On the other hand, however, it could make a nice winter climb when the choss is frozen and the snow cover is solid. Maja Shkurt thus awaits its first winter ascent!
DescentFollow the same route down. You may be uncomfortable with downclimbing almost vertical grass but good abseil anchors may be hard to find, although being ropeless I have not really looked for them. Abseil pitch 1.
As I only had a 50 m single rope, I abbed down pitch 1, untied the rope from the bottom belay, prusiked up, abbed half the pitch, rigged another anchor and abbed the remaining half to the base. I left behind two abseil anchors, each with two pegs and a few slings.
Very slow and careful downclimbing on the steep grass sections is recommended, so give yourself at least 4 hours for the climb from base to summit and back, together with a well-deserved rest at the summit. With the long approach, it's safe to count a long day tent to summit to tent if you're camping in Ropojana valley.
Essential Gear50 m rope.
50 m cord if you have a single rope and want a single abseil/rappel off pitch 1.
Several pegs (pitons/pins) – blades, V- and U-shaped angles (I left some on pitch 1), and of course a hammer (a peacehammer preferable to a warhammer :-)
Small to medium rack (I placed only nuts/wires), but a larger hex or friend/cam might come in handy in a place or two.
A few long slings to avoid rope drag and for abseiling.
I climbed the whole route in semi-technical trekking boots with good friction soles (Scarpa Charmoz). You can use rock climbing shoes for pitch 1 according to your preferences, but I would recommend solid trekking boots for the rest of the route.
Maja KoprishtitAs far as I know the two smaller peaks between Maja Shkurt and the Qafa Koprishtit pass have a collective name Maja Koprishtit. The lower, southern one can be reached from Qafa Koprishtit by an easy scramble. We actually slept on the ridge near its top during our 2005 trek, having reached the pass from Stani Koprishtit and descending to Ropojana the following day.
The corrie where my route begins can also be reached from Stani Koprishtit via Qafa Koprishtit and the ridge of the lower peak of Maja Koprishtit, and finally scrambling down the scree slopes from there.
Gordan (Dinaric-ZG), my partner of the 2011 trip, despite not being a technical climber is an avid, fearless scrambler. Although I did not encourage him to do anything risky, he still free soloed the beginning of the 1st pitch of the route with me, giving me the much needed support during the initial part of my climb. While I was higher up the mountain, he scrambled to the top of the higher of the two Maja Koprishtit peaks. According to him it is 'quite easy but chossy and dangerous'. Even if the summit had been visited by local shepherds before, he may still have claimed its first 'tourist' ascent.
In the meantime Gordan also scouted the lower part of the face I was climbing, to the left of my route. There he found the aforementioned steel cable which leaves the Maja Shkurt FA question open.
Name GameWhen we made the FA of Maja Lagojvet in 2009 with Seba, we named our route Balkans Peace Park. Along the line, the following summer John Ely called one of his new routes in Prokletije Crack of a Peaceful Smuggler, referring to the ancient smuggling trail along the valleys of Ropojana and Thethi. Now I followed this tradition with Peacehammer and still have on my mind a few 'peaceful' names for my routes to come...
Red TapeRopojana valley is crossed with the Montenegrin-Albanian border and Maja Shkurt is in Albania. Approaching from the north (from Montenegro), the border must be crossed. Being outside official border crossings this is officially illegal.
Until recently, the Montenegrin border police station at Vusanje served as a semi-official border crossing for hikers going to Ropojana and Maja Jezerce who sometimes registered themselves going to the vague 'border area', and crossing the border was most often silently tolerated. As for 2011 the station seems to be abandoned which makes things even easier.
I do not encourage anyone to illegally cross the border as the situation is still unclear and you may be arrested anytime by Montenegrin and Albanian border police if caught. Do it at your own risk if you wish.
In order to stay at the right side of the law, enter Albania via one of official border crossings and go to Ropojana from the south (from Thethi) across the Qafa Peje pass as described in the Approach section.
AcknowledgementsBig thanks to Gordan for his support, encouragement and patience. Without him I would not climb Maja Shkurt. Velika hvala, prijatelju! :-)
In Memory...On the descent to Ropojana we took a shortcut and came across a memorial plaque fixed to a rock above an entry to what looked like a large cave. The plaque reads 'Shpella Bubba' (probably 'Bubba Cave' in Albanian) and gives names of two Hungarian cavers, Anna Erdei and Attila Szabó, who died in 2006. I later found out that they died in a caving accident in Italy. It seems that Hungarian cavers who explored Prokletije discovered this cave and named it to commemorate their friends - as far as I understood, 'Bubba' was Attila's nickname.
Info from the Hungarian SP-er peterbud: Anna and Attila died in an avalanche in Italy in 2006. The cross-section of the 'Bubba's cave' in Prokletije can be found here (as a pdf file). Thanks, Peter!

Sept 20, 2014 – Stephen Keshi Ranked Africa's Best Coach & 14th In The World By FIFA
Nigeria's Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi has been ranked the best in Africa.
The leader of Nigeria's National football team was placed ahead of Kwei Appiah of Ghana in this latest ranking by Football Coach World Ranking report released by FIFA for September 2014.
Since the last ranking Keshi has moved up two places despite the loss in the last month.
The ranking of the top 50 coaches is dominated by managers who coached at the World Cup, with the top 15 almost exclusively for those who excelled at the World Cup with the exception of Spain's Vicente Del Bosque who is placed second even though his side crashed in the group stage. World Cup-winning coach, Joachim Low of Germany, tops the ranking with Oscar Tabarez of Uruguay in third position.
Congrats to him.

The bad boy of Gossip Girl will turn his attentions to another man on the upcoming third season of the New York–based teen soap.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Chuck Bass, played by British actor Ed Westwick, will lock lips with the fictional head of NYU's freshman affairs. Apparently, the kiss is a ploy to gain favor with the NYU employee -- it's all part of a scheme concocted by Bass's part-time girlfriend Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). The same-sex object of Bass's affections is played by actor Neal Bledsoe, who's has appeared on CSI: NY and Guiding Light.
Westwick plays quite the heterosexual lothario on the CW show, but in the books on which the series is based, the Bass character eventually discovers he's bisexual.

The former prime minister cited a recent estimate by European policy agency Interpol that 10,000 migrant children have gone missing.
Mr Brown said: "Are they trafficked? Will they be sex slaves? Are they sold into captivity? The more we delay in getting a programme for resettlement and for those who are here in Europe, the more we will have stories of children who are trafficked and lost for ever."
He was speaking ahead of a conference this week attended by world leaders in London addressing the humanitarian crisis sparked by the five-year civil war in Syria and other conflicts.
Mr Brown said: "This is the biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945. We've got six million displaced children alone, we've got two million refugees.
"If we cannot provide help, not just for food and shelter but for health care and education, we are failing in a humanitarian crisis that need answers."
He added: "I do not think any European country is doing enough when you think about the needs of children."
The focus of the conference will be to create jobs and education in the countries neighbouring Syria, both to encourage refugees to stay in the region, and to give Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon the infrastructure to be able to cope with the influx.
He said: "I would hope funding will be available so that while the peace process goes ahead and we hope it will work, we make sure the people hold up within Syria are given proper provisions", including food, shelter and health care.
More than a million refugees came to Europe last year, many fleeing the Syrian war. But in Turkey, there have been 2.3 million asylum applications, in Lebanon over a million, and in Jordan at least 640,000.
Last week, David Cameron was branded "heartless and foolish" for "turning his back" on 3,000 orphaned Syrian children in European camps.
The Prime Minister rejected calls to take the vulnerable children saying that to do so could create "a magnet" to attract more migrants to cross the Mediterranean.
The Government has announced it will work with the UN to take orphaned children from the camps in the Syrian region, rather than the camps in Europe.
Mr Brown did not comment on the PM's recent remarks calling people in a camp in Calais "a bunch of migrants".
But he did say: "What I do want to emphasise is that compassion for those people in difficulty has been a great feature of British attitudes and British culture for centuries.
"If we cannot respond to the needs of children in difficulty, when we know what they want is education and what they want is some future, then I think we are a diminished society as a result."
Meanwhile, peace talks in Geneva to try to find a solution to the Syrian civil war have been "temporarily halted" and are set to resume in three weeks.
The announcement was made by a United Nations representative after days of discussions involving the Syrian government and the main opposition group, which were not face-to-face but through mediators.

Prince Michael Jackson, the eldest son of the late Michael Jackson, has conducted his first-ever interview for Entertainment Tonight, sitting down with the cast of Oz the Great and Powerful in a segment that will air on Tuesday's show.
Under the tutelage of ET's Brooke Anderson, who gave him a few pointers before the interview, the 16-year-old Jackson interviewed Oz actors James Franco, Zach Braff, and director Sam Raimi.
PICS: Pics: Remembering Michael Jackson, King of Pop
In his interview, Jackson revealed his dreams to one day become a producer, director, screenwriter, and actor and seized the opportunity to ask the successful film stars for their advice in pursuing his dreams.
Franco, a filmmaker in addition to being an actor, advised: "I always tell people, 'Just go out and try and stop waiting around or dreaming it's going to happen. Just go and start doing some things on your own.'"

Jackson, who was complimented for his composure in the interview, cited Oprah's effective casual style in a 2010 interview with him and two younger siblings as an inspiration for his demeanor during the interview.

The Rabbi Is Accused of Trespassing
A new congregation on the Upper East Side hopes to draw in those disaffected by the Jewish community in Manhattan's developing synagogue war.
The new Orthodox synagogue recently opened on Manhattan's Upper East Side is perceived as a threat to the seniority and status of the larger, more established synagogues in the area.
"I set up this synagogue for those who don't belong," says the new rabbi on the block, Marc Schneier, who has opened the doors to Reform worshipers and is aiming to attract Manhattan's Jewish singles' community.
Above all, the rabbis and gabbais (sextons) fear the competition for the souls (and pockets) of Manhattan's East Side Jews, especially those dubbed as "non-aligned." The overwhelming majority of these are young people who are not synagogue members and keep away from the Jewish establishment. This fear has triggered a mutual mud-slinging battle between the two sides. What complicates things further is that one of the oldest synagogues in the area is headed by Schneier's father.
"For the first time in 50 years, a new Ashkenazi synagogue has opened here," says a functionary in a Jewish community center in Manhattan. "Instead of being happy, the rabbis and gabbais are eaten up by jealousy."
"I wouldn't have believed that Jews who lay tefillin could be capable of such a crude fight," says a local rabbi.
"On my way to my new synagogue on Saturday, I run into worshipers, including rabbis and gabbais, walking to the old synagogues, and their furious looks and threats simply scare me," says Rabbi Marc Schneier. "Fortunately, the local media have not yet become aware of the synagogue war in Manhattan," he adds.
The New York Times recently published an in-depth piece about what has happened to the large synagogues that once thrived in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Following the mass emigration of Jews from these boroughs, the newspaper reports, some of the synagogues were converted into churches and others became community centers, run by non-Jewish welfare organizations.
But two new Orthodox synagogues have recently opened in the exclusive area of the fifties and sixties in East Manhattan. Last Hanukkah a Sephardi Orthodox synagogue, built by Lily Safra to honor her late husband, wth an investment of millions of dollars, was inaugurated. This Sephardi synagogue is not considered a threat to the old Ashkenazi congregations. But the opening of an Ashkenazi synagogue in the area has disrupted the calm.
A `non-Jewish' act
The new New York Synagogue started operating about three months ago in a rented hall near the corner of 58th Street and Park Avenue - a junction of prestigious boutiques, luxury office buildings and apartments of Manhattan's elite. Rumor had it that hundreds of worshipers, mostly young people, crowd the synagogue on Sabbath eves and Saturday mornings. The heads of the two large Orthodox synagogues, Ateret Zvi and Zichron Efraim, better known as Park East Synagogue, did not like these rumors, especially the reports of prayers accompanied by a superb cantor and choir. These are the two synagogues of Manhattan's Orthodox elite, but apart from Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and festivals, attendance is sparse.
"On Sabbath eve sometimes we have no more than two minyans," admitted a former president of one of the two synagogues. "A little more come on Saturday morning."
Rabbis we spoke to say the Park East Synagogue stands to lose the most from the new synagogue's activity. Established in 1890, this was the first Orthodox Synagogue in North America with an English-speaking rabbi. Today it is considered one of the most prestigious synagogues in the United States, boasting 600 member families. Arthur Schneier, Park East Synagogue's rabbi for more than 40 years, is Marc Schneier's father. The relations between father and son are tense. Rabbis say Arthur Schneier's calm reaction to his son's initiative is merely a facade. In private conversations, he reportedly speaks of it with anger and feels hurt and threatened.
Members of the Ateret Zvi Synagogue complain that Marc Schneier committed a grave and "non Jewish" act. He should not have set up an additional place of prayer near our synagogue, some say. Ateret Zvi was established in 1958 in an especially prestigious location, on East 62nd Street, near Fifth Avenue. Its regular worshipers include writer Eli Weisel and it has won a reputation for its cantor, Yosef Malovany, who is considered one of the best in the world. A few weeks ago, Ya'akov Karmeyer, a graduate of Yeshiva University who served a few years as rabbi in Hong Kong, was appointed Ateret Zvi's rabbi.
"Just when the young new rabbi is planning special programs to attract young people to his synagogue, the new synagogue opens, competing for the same public," complains a veteran Ateret Zvi member. Rabbis accuse Schneier of trespassing. A known Manhattan rabbi who asked to remain anonymous said "if I were in his shoes, I'd open the synagogue further away from the old synagogues."
In an effort to block the Sabbath throng to the new synagogue, rabbis and heads of the veteran synagogues have come out with a grave charge against the new one. "Many of those who come to pray there are Reform Jews, and Jews who do not observe the Sabbath," an old functionary said. "Schneier himself does not observe prayer regulations customary to Orthodox synagogues. He talks to the worshipers and gives instructions in the midst of prayer sessions in which talking is forbidden, like during the Shma and before the Amida prayer.' I question his title as an Orthodox rabbi," he says.
Free meals
Marc Schneier sees no reason to apologize for taking in Reform worshipers. "Even my old synagogue in Long Island had Reform worshipers, and I'm proud of the fact that an Orthodox synagogue can attract them," he says. Schneier reminds those who question his qualifications as an Orthodox rabbi that he was ordained by Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, regarded as the leader of the modern Orthodox movement in America.
Religious pundits also criticize Marc Schneier's ways of attracting worshipers. For example, he offeres them free Sabbath eve dinners after prayers in the synagogue. Schneier is proud that "in a recent Sabbath more than 200 young people came to dinner." He explains that in his view, an Orthodox synagogue also has a social function.
Marc Schneier has already proved his capability in establishing the prestigious Orthodox Hampton Synagogue in the Hamptons on Long Island. Today Hampton Synagogue is considered one of the largest, most active congregations in North America. Schneier says he intends to raise millions of dollars to build a permanent building for the Manhattan synagogue, not far from the temporary site, and turn it into a spiritual center.
Schneier says he opened New York Synagogue following requests from worshipers in Hampton Synagogue, many of whom live in Manhattan during the winter months. He says more than 200 worshipers come to prayers on Friday night and on Saturday morning more than 300. His main target audience consists of Manhattan Jews who do not visit synagogues regularly, especially the singles, so there is no competition with the old synagogues.
Marc Schneier, who has served as president of the New York Board of Rabbis, says that according to the Jewish Federations' census, 68 percent of Manhattan's 250,000 Jews are single. He estimates that less than 40,000 of Manhattan's Jewish residents are registered as active synagogue members. "And those who do not belong are the public for whom I set up the new synagogue," he says.
Cantor Israel Rand conducts the Sabbath prayers in the new synagogue, accompanied by a six-man choir, conducted by Yitzhak Chaimof. "This is the only Orthodox synagogue in New York in which a cantor accompanied by a choir passes the ark regularly," says Schneier.
Saul Trau, a religious functionary from the Upper East Side and former president of Ateret Zvi, prayed in the new synagogue one Saturday and says he was favorably impressed by the prayer and way it was held. "There really were hundreds of worshipers there," he reports. In his opinion, as long as the synagogue is new, it provides the best show in town. But in the long term, the novelty will wear off, and the threat will be removed from the old synagogues.

IT was another convicing win for Ilminster U13s against a useful Bruton side.
Ilminster's teamwork and togetherness again was key to their victory. Ilminster totally dominated the game and were 3-0 by half-time with two goals from Alex Atkins and a strike from Tom Cohen.
Ilminster's dominance in the second-half grew with some great football being played as well as composed defending when required.
Another strike from joint man of the match Alex Atkins, gave him his hatrick and a good effort from the hardworking Pete Manders made it 5-0.
Bruton got a deserved goal but it was only a consolation, as Ilminster's other man of the match Aaron Key struck Ilminster's sixth goal in a win containing some usefull football.

You could say that you can clean up if you have a successful b2b lead generation, especially if you are part of an office cleaning firm.
When it comes down to getting qualified office cleaning leads, the commercial cleaning business sector is one of those industries that should have no trouble finding interested potential clientele for their business. The reason is that the sector is almost immune to the downfalls of the stock market and the economy.
Commercial cleaning services are not tightly bound by the rise and fall of the stock market as services from within these firms will always be needed. Simply put, if an office space or establishment is in need of cleaning or tidying up then such aid will always be called for. As such, b2b lead generation for the industry should pose no threat to the welfare of the firm itself.

Very tentative Ireland itinerary

You could perhaps make a little more progress in your journey on Sunday 16th, the day you pick up your car. With just Powerscourt and Glendalough on your list, you should make Kilkenny city - a more interesting stopover for your travelling companions.
Travelling down the Waterford coast the next day, try to find some time to do the cliff walk in Ardmore and explore the remains of St Declans monastery. You may get Fota and Cobh done by late afternoon - consider moving on to stay in Kinsale. Have found the Old Presbytery there a very nice B&B to stay in and the town is a bit different to most Irish towns.
Report Abuse
With a history buff on board you shouldn't cut back on your time in Cobh. As well as being Titanic's last port of call, it was also the departure point for 2.5 million emigrants from Ireland and the town in literally steeped in history. There is the Titanic Experience in the former White Star Line ticket office, the Queenstown Story Heritage Centre in the former Victorian Railway station, the Titanic Trail Guided walking tour, tours of Spike Island, the magnificent St. Colman's Cathedral perched on the hillside and a very pretty and welcoming town with lots to see and do. Check this link out for more details

Looks pretty good to me. The 18th will be a fairly long day, but I'm sure you knew that.
I disagree about Kilkenny. While it's a terrific little city, pressing on to stay there will rob you of time in Wicklow and not really provide enough time to do Kilkenny justice, either. Now, if you had a few MORE days ....
We stayed in the self-catering cottage at Riverdale -- but the B&B is one of Michele Erdvig's recommended accommodations, so should be an excellent choice. The walking path (crossing the river on stepping stones) down to the Monastic Ruins is magical as the afternoon shadows envelope the mountainside.
Another good choice might be Ferndale House http://www.ferndalehouse.com/ located in the center of Enniskerry -- if a walk to pubs/shops/eateries is more to your taste. Think it is also on Michele's list.
Along the Vale of Avoca, is Avondale House http://www.heritageisland.com/attractions/avondale-house-forest-park/ This is the ancestral home of Charles Stewart Parnell which MIGHT be of interest to the historian in the group.
We loved Ardmore, but detouring there will short you for time in Cobh and that would be a shame. With the next day being a long one, I wouldn't recommend 'dawdling' too much on the drive down from Glendalough -- just for that very reason.
FYI -- as of right now, I'm leaning towards May, so sadly, the wife and I may not have the pleasure of meeting THESE Grands.
Hope you have a wonderful time, never-the-less!!!
Report Abuse
Thanks, SeeDee, but I think we want to spend more time with especially Glendlough.
Good info, Greatisland, and I think we will skip the wildlife park and concentrate on Cobh itself.
Aw, Bob, I was hoping we could have yet another GTG but it doesn't look good. Our mutual friend has moved house and now lives in Co. Kerry just off the Ring. I chose Riverdale because you stayed there and it seemed a very nice place. If I'm not mistaken they have a shuttle to a local restaurant for dinner? Should your plans change, do let me know!
Report Abuse
Not sure if the B&B provides the shuttle, or the Restaurant does, but there IS a shuttle. Didn't even step foot inside the B&B, so can't comment on it (though, I HEAR it is WONDERFUL!), but we really enjoyed the self-catering!
Plans are still 'Iffy', so I'll keep your dates in mind. Is our friend still 'Marketing' -- and if so, where? Please keep me advised as to what your plans are -- as you never know ...
Lots to see and do around Sneem, but I would think that the Staigue Fort http://www.stonepages.com/ireland/staigue.html would be a big hit.
Report Abuse
Oh, yes, Bob, our friend is still out there selling....Sneem on Tuesdays if I am correct and other places as available or by invitation. She is very happy with the treatment she is receiving in Kerry and can't understand the people who don't like Killarney.
I like the idea of crossing the river on stepping stones to walk to Glendalough. Although I can visualize myself getting dunked.....
I have visited Staigue Fort several years ago and was most impressed...although our friend says there is a better place available. She has all sorts of plans for our 1½ days.

As in many things, our friend is doubtless, correct! Suspect that these are contenders: http://www.voicesfromthedawn.com/cahergeal-and-leacanabuaile-forts/
Unless there is HEAVY rain, the rocks are large, high and close together, so you would be hard-pressed to get your feet wet. During our stay, it rained all the last night and into the morning, rather ROBUSTLY. As we were departing, you could BARELY even SEE the rocks!

Oh, Bob, you know we will "do" Skellig Michael.....NOT! While I have crossed Carrick-A-Rede, my aging knees won't allow steps any longer (I even choose B&Bs with ground floor rooms if at all possible) and I suspect SWBK would feel the same since we are of an age. And one of the grands is iffy about heights so I think we will stay firmly planted on the Ring.But thanks for the encouragement!
Report Abuse
I now have all my accommodations booked except for the Sneem/Kenmare area; first choice there was already full. I would welcome any suggestions; we need 3 separate beds and if at all possible ground floor room.If necessary we could do a single and twin. A little isolation would be ideal. We will be there 2 nights , June 18 and 19.

Kenmare - I loved O'Donnabhain's. While they aren't ground level rooms, the stairs are wide and easily traversed slowly, and the rooms are huge (we had a family room with three beds) . It is in the center of town, but I think they also have self-caterings further out.

Ah, an update is in order. We are booked in at An Glaisin on the Kenmare-->Sneem road. My "boots on the ground" checked it out for me and found it delightful.
Thanks for the help!

Good evening...
And yes, still trading as much as possible and for the same reasons and living now in the glory of the McGillicuudy Reeks.
Sneem on Tuesdays after Saint Patrick's Day weather allowing and you will see me in unexpected places this year.
And yes. A fascinating day and a half is planned and not even jaja knows where she will be going. But it will all be lovely.
I have been trading in Sneem two summers and know the area well, and have been exploring as I travel trading. Seeking out interesting and lesser known sites. an avid historian here
Kerry beats Cork hands down in many ways. Such a varied and lovely county and so much wilderness and so many undiscovered places.
So many rip offs too! A man charging E4 to walk to see a view of the Skelligs you can see up the road for nothing.. and Staigue Fort's "trespass fee"... Nb I got in both free but I tend to do that here.
The people are kind here too; yes Killarney gets crowded in season and is indeed quite busy now. But it is further from a huge city and this makes a difference. A pretty town.
Report Abuse
Bob; not allowed to go to Skellig on windy days so rest assured on hta
Besides it is over populated and touristy!!
Report Abuse
Reading the posts...it is a hard decision what to see and what not to see as there is so much here wherever you are. My advice is always now to look at less on more depth and to try to balance a day especially if you are looking at famine issues.
re 18th; I would suggest leaving Cobh by midday at the latest. There will be time maybe the evening before to see more. Then heading for West Cork thus avoiding Cork City. West Cork is easy; just keep turning left! Inishannon,Bandon then through Dunmanway to Bantry, which will open the Ring of Beara and Glengarriff which has pleasures like Garnish Island. Then on through the little mentioned and glorious Caha Pass into Kerry. A fitting introduction to Kerry. Kenmare then and on to Sneem. From Cobh to Bantry is about two hours on good easy roads.Leaving time for other delights.

Least Favorite Aspect: Our hats were too small when we wore the wigs, so we had to ditch them. :( I also want to go back and add some darts on mine to make it more fitting and less like a coat. We also didn't notice at the time we were throwing these together that the vest has the plaid sleeves, not the white coat. It's not something you can tell from a lot of angles, but I wouldn't mind going back and fixing that detail.
Easiest Task: The whole thing was generally easy and quick to put together - which was the point. The boots were from Siobhan's Nariya costume, and she loaned me her Jennifer wig since I couldn't get the one I wanted for Miki in fast enough. :)
Hardest Task: Sewing all the micro fur on! Ugh. Micro fur is horrible. We really wanted red sherpa fur, but we couldn't find it anywhere. :/
- Personal Thoughts:
- There was a Christmas party for the Louisiana Cosplayers, and well... we needed Christmas themed costumes! And Siobhan is beyond obsessed with the Idols. :p

i was wanting to know how you could get the pink color of a coyote eye blended in to nictitating membranes for competition mount i want to make him look sleepy can any one help Mike

Make it look like your dog and it will be fine.
Make it from Epo-Grip Industrial Adhesive. Use dry pigment or powdered pastel chalk to pigment the epoxy to the desired hue and degree of transparancy. Spray the eye with Mann's 2251 release in order that the epoxy will "slide" over the surface and then manipulate the epoxy with a sculpting tool that is dipped in olive oil to prohibit adhesion. The membrane may be formed and will look exactly like nature with combined with additional applications of resin pigmented to match the transitions.

boot error for kernel-2.6.19-1.2288.fc5
Hi all
Is there any known problem with the latest kernel? Few days ago I upgraded my kernel (like a 100 times before) from kernel-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 to kernel-2.6.19-1.2288.fc5 via yum. Attempting to boot the latter ends up in a kernel panic. The former still does work when booted via my grub menu (my rescue for the moment!).
Ok, for the 2.6.19-1.2288 I get these messages/errors:
Decompressing linux...done.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62678 Dec 16 05:28 config-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5
title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2288.fc5)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600 on a A8N32 SLI Deluxe board
Fedora Core 5 (x86_64)
Any hints, anyone?
Moved: This thread is more suitable in the Fedora forum and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.
I had the same problem I just used yumex to remove the new kernel than reinstalled it, worked fine when I rebooted
Thanks for your reply, DCOH!
As there was no reply to my post for quite some time, I assumed it had to be an error specific to my box. So I had actually done the same as you earlier: removing kernel 2.6.19 and reinstalling it again (via yum). And it worked for me too!!!
Though it bothered me that there was no obvious reason for the previous error. So I checked /boot again, and - bingo! One file differs in size (increase from 1192375 to 1983731 bytes). I wonder how that could slip through:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62678 Dec 16 05:28 config-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5
I'm not sure about an integrity check by yum but it does verify the download. When I reinstalled the kernel with yumex the kernel showed update so there my have been a problem with the kernel.
boot error for kernel-2.6.20.xxxx
Hi Fellows,
I have Fedora and had the same problem when updating from 2.6.18.xxxx to 2.6.20.xxxx: I could not boot with the new kernel and got the same messages as below:
"Decompressing linux...done.
Booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 5.0.32 starting
Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
But I could boot with the older one. So with "Add/Remove Software" I removed the 2.6.20 kernel and then added it back to my system and this time everything was fine and I could boot with the new kernel! Now I am worried about the other updated files/modules, could other files have been corrupted during the update process? How to know that? Of course not using them or their associated programs will not show anything but what if this happens weeks from now, how to associate potential issues to the upgrade problem?
Question to Linux experts: is a kernel built (compiled/linked/etc.) on the local computer during the update process, or is it just a file that gets downloaded? The former would mean that the build was not correct; the latter would mean that the file was not downloaded properly. In any case are they other files that could have been build erroneously or downloaded without keeping their integrity?

Tigers pounce on Drakes, 58-8
The Blackduck Drakes football team fell 58-8 to the host Pine River-Backus Tigers Friday Oct. 3.
The Tigers used their ground game effectively running for over 300 yards in traditional Pine River fashion. The Drakes lone touchdown came on a Justin Bryant reception from Mike Dexter with two seconds remaining in the game. James Campbell-Eckdahl ran in the two point conversion to give Blackduck their eight points.
The Drakes received the opening kick off but were forced to punt. The Tigers set up their offense near midfield and scored in eight plays with senior wrestler Levi Allen picking up 49 rushing yards on the drive and scoring the touchdown. The conversion pass gave the hosts a quick 8-0 lead.
Todd Kallroos had a 20 yard kick return to set the Drakes offense up at the 30 yard line. Nick Andreas found running room behind the blocking efforts of Nick Liapis, Jordan Oelke, Al Goodwin, Garrette Roberts, Zach Preston, Jake Olafson and Lucas Krabbenhoft to pick up seven yards on first down.
That gain brought about a Tiger defensive change that concentrated on stopping Andreas the rest of the game which allowed Dexter and Kallroos to run more effectively. The Drakes picked up a first down on a pass interference penalty but a lost fumble gave the ball back to the Tigers.
Allen scored again on the sixth play of their drive which included a 22 yard catch by senior Mitchell Kline. Coach Hickman commented that missed defensive assignments allowed some stinging pass completions. The defensive line of Preston, Olafson, Oelke, Doug Palmer and Liapis slowed the march but could not hold for four downs. The two point conversion made it 14-0.
A pair of incomplete passes ended the next Blackduck offensive and they were forced to punt. Allen brought the return back to the 14 yard and two plays later the Tigers tallied another touchdown to take a 22-0 first quarter lead.
On the fourth play of the second quarter the hosts made it 28-0. The Drakes picked up a first down with Kallroos carrying but then had their punt blocked. On the Tigers second play Allen raced to 15 yard line before Campbell-Eckdahl dragged him down.
The Drakes defense put up a strong stand in the red zone as defensive backs Kallroos, Andreas, Butch Strand, Alex Lossing, Dexter, and Campbell-Eckdahl picked up their intensity. Peter Fraley, Goodwin, and Josh RedDay were also in on some of the defensive action. The good defensive effort returned the ball to the offense and Dexter completed passes to Lossing, Fraley, and Kallroos to move the ball all the way to the Tiger 35 yard line. A failed quarterback keep on fourth and one returned the ball to the Tigers who ran out the clock making the half time score 28-0.
The Tigers brought the second half kick back to the 14 yard line and Allen ran it in on the first play from scrimmage. He also caught the conversion pass and the hosts were up 36-0. A fumble gave the hosts the ball again and Allen scampered in from 20 yards out and then blasted through for the conversion and suddenly the score was 44-0. The best news for the Drakes at this point was when Tiger Coach Randy Schwegel removed Allen from the game along with the rest of his first unit.
Drakes Head Coach Jesse Hickman also substituted freely with freshmen and sophomores seeing a lot of action in the third and, especially, the fourth quarter. Freshmen getting into action were Brad Kusper, Kip Solberg, Brady Gross, Cory Bryant, and Zach Jones.
The Pine River youngsters were able to score twice, taking advantage of three Blackduck turnovers, while the Drakes used a 16 yard kick return by Strand to set up their lone scoring drive as the clock ran out. A 27 yard reception by Kusper and a 21 yard scramble by Dexter were the big plays of the drive while Solberg added a two yard run. Justin Bryant pulled in the three yard touchdown pass from Dexter and then Campbell-Eckdahl carried in the two point conversion to make the final tally 58-8.
Coach Hickman complimented Kallroos for his efforts stating, "He really stepped it up this game and made some great tackles on defense." Kallroos was named defensive player of the week for his efforts at outside linebacker. Hickman explained that Kallroos had those opportunities because the middle of the defense was doing such a good job. He particularly mentioned the play of Andreas, Preston, and sophomore Goodwin. He went on to explain that Goodwin showed a marked improvement on both sides of the ball. Another sophomore the head coach complimented was Strand who "really stepped it up this game." Sophomore Strand was one of the leading tacklers on the team.
The Drakes host Hawley Oct. 15 and Frazee Wednesday Oct. 21 at Sonnek Field to close out the regular season.
On a interesting related item former Blackduck football star Jonny Bennett is having a banner year at St. Scholastica.
Bennett, a sophomore wide out, is the leading receiver on the team with 24 catches for 214 yards and two touchdowns. He has two touchdown receptions and also returns both punts and kicks for the Saints who currently sport a 3-2 record.
Bennett is second on the team in all purpose yards. He also saw extensive action a year ago in the Saints inaugural season of football.

One thing to remember about the decision to shoot barred owls in Oregon, Northern California and Washington is this: It's a test, not a final decision on the best way to deal with a bird causing problems for the northern spotted owl.
The northern spotted owl is surely the best-known threatened species in the Northwest. A lover of old-growth timber, its numbers have declined. It was given protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1990, a move that was a major factor in the decline of logging in Oregon, Washington and Northern California.
Even with the listing, the owl's numbers have continued to decline, thanks in part to the barred owl. Unlike the spotted owl, a picky eater and choosy about where he lives, the barred owl is much less fussy about both. It's a bit larger and more aggressive than its spotted cousin and willing to pick on the latter if the need arises. Get rid of the barred owl, then, and the spotted owl is likely to have a better chance of survival, so the thinking goes.
Based on that, the wildlife service has decided to begin a four-year experiment in killing barred owls for the benefit of spotted owls. Two areas in Oregon, in the Coast Range west of Salem and in the Klamath Mountains north of Roseburg, will be among the four nationwide in which the experiment will be conducted beginning next year.
Researchers expect to kill as many as 3,600 owls during the experiment. If the results mimic those of a smaller one in Northern California, spotted owls will return once the barred owls are gone.
Only then will forest managers face the tough questions the conflict between the two birds raises. At the top of the list: Barred owls have been moving westward for more than 100 years. The government should not halt that trend.

The revolutionary words of Malcolm X continue to resonate today in this performance of four of the legendary African-American leader's speeches from the 1960s. Voice performer George Washington III truly inhabits the role of Malcolm X, delivering his speeches in the same fiery diction that made him such a charismatic and compelling speaker 50 years ago. The stirring addresses in The End of White World Supremacy: Four Speeches touch on subjects including black pride, the black Muslim cause, and the black revolution that would see African-Americans freed from the oppression of white society. With Malcolm X's electrifying original words and George Washington III's skilled contemporary oration, these speeches still have the power to provoke.
Here in his own words are the revolutionary ideas that made Malcolm X one of the most charismatic and influential African-American leaders of the 1960s. These speeches document Malcolm's progression from Black nationalism to internationalism, and are key to both understanding his extraordinary life and illuminating his angry yet uplifting cause.

"Great Speeches"
Loved it, it provides good arguments on how to move forward with the racial issues that still lingers today
"RIP Malcolm X! ✊"
Only the truth shall set us free! I decided to look into Malcolm after reading Jay Morrison's book "The Solution"
"Great Read, Clear"
Clearly this book gave an insightful understanding of the times, reasons, beliefs, music and dress codes. People were learning as time had a captive audience.
I understood the complete thoughts, ideas and purpose of the why's of a people who made life better in so many hurtful ways that other experience just this country
This young man is a fantastic and clear spoken with clear meaning in the way his words were pronounce.

"We are bringing Hawaii to New York. There's nowhere like Hawaii and no airline like Hawaiian. With the best service on the ground and in the air, with 150 flights a day among our islands and with our warm Hawaiian hospitality, Hawaiian Airlines is always the best value-for-money ticket to paradise. We're the airline of choice for millions of people on the West Coast and in Asia, and we're excited to be bringing the Hawaiian experience to New York," said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian's president and CEO.
Starting June 5, 2012, Hawaiian Flight 51 will depart JFK daily at 10:00 a.m. and arrive at Honolulu International Airport at 3:00 p.m., in time to get settled and enjoy a first dip in the balmy Pacific and sunset on the beach.

Hawaiian is the leading airline in Hawaii's largest tourism market, the U.S. West Coast, and we are expanding in Hawaii's third largest market, Asia. Adding service to the largest market in the Eastern U.S., Hawaii's second largest tourism market, was a logical step," Dunkerley added.
Mike McCartney, president and CEO of the Hawaii Tourism Authority, said, "Hawaiian's new service will generate an estimated $156 million in direct visitor spending and $17 million in state tax revenue annually for our tourism economy and will provide much desired direct air service to New York City making it more convenient and accessible for travelers from the East Coast. This flight is of strategic importance to promoting the Hawaiian Islands brand to our second largest market, and we look forward to welcoming our guests."

Travelers on the new flights between New York and Honolulu will enjoy Hawaiian's signature "Hawaii Flies With Us" inflight hospitality program showcasing Hawaii's culture, natural beauty, and the Aloha Spirit of its people. They will also enjoy complimentary hot meals in all cabins, Hawaiian being the only carrier serving Hawaii that still offers this amenity.

Opponents Organize Resistance to FCC Rules Change That Will Strengthen Media Monopolies
Interview with John Nichols, Washington correspondent with The Nation, conducted by Scott Harris
Listen in RealAudio: http://www.btlonline.org/nichols052303.ram
The Federal Communications Commission, chaired by Bush administration appointee Michael Powell (son of Secretary of State Colin Powell), is set to further deregulate rules governing the concentration of ownership of the nation's print and broadcast media outlets. Specifically Powell, and his Republican Party majority on the five-member commission, plan to abandon a 1975 rule that prohibits one company from owning a newspaper and television station -- or multiple TV stations -- serving the same market.
The commission, which has scheduled a June 2 vote on these rule changes, is also expected to eliminate restrictions limiting a television network's national coverage area and concentration of ownership of local radio stations. Although Powell only scheduled one public hearing on the proposed deregulation, thousands of citizens have registered their opposition to the plan by attending nine semi-official hearings organized around the U.S. and writing Congress and the FCC.
Many predict that if implemented, the rule changes will result in an extreme transformation of the nation's media and create an ever-shrinking number of media monopolies which offer less diversity of opinion on the airwaves. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine, who takes a critical look at the deregulation plan and describes the broad coalition of groups that are now fighting for the democratization of the nation's media system.
John Nichols: What we've got are six rule changes at the FCC. The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, it's a five-member regulatory body that is essentially delegated the power to make bureaucratic decisions as regards to media, and that delegation comes from Congress. These rule changes are not your standard bureaucratic tinkering to make sure an airwave is properly regulated or something like that. This is essentially a knocking down of the barriers that have prevented corporate monopoly in a lot of areas of media. I know that a lot of your listeners would believe correctly that the media is too corporate, too commercial, too vapid, and all the other complaints that we could make. But these rule changes would actually make it dramatically more "corporate conglomerated," commercial, etc. They would do so by allowing one company to -- if all the rule changes go through -- own the newspaper, two television stations, eight radio stations, the cable system and the prim ary Internet site in a community. The rule changes that they are proposing are the striking down of the newspaper cross-ownership rules. Now, the newspaper cross-ownership rules sounds like just standard bureaucratic jargon, but what it really boils down to is that for the better part of a quarter century, we've had a law in this country that you cannot own the newspaper and broadcast stations in the same market. Now there's a few markets around country where grandfather clauses allowed that sort of cross-ownership. But in most places, it's not allowed. This would get rid of that rule.
Another change would get rid of the rule that bars you from owning TV and radio stations in the same market. And there's also a rule change that would allow networks to merge at the national level and various other pieces of tinkering that go around these core changes. What you end up with is a situation where the largest TV conglomerates in this country will be able to own more media than they've ever been allowed to own before. And the reason that this change is being brought up is not because a single citizen said, "I want Rupert Murdoch to be richer. I want the telecommunications corporations that already own so much of our media to get bigger." No citizen came forward and said that. There is not a single scrap of evidence that suggests that anyone in America, not even any member of Congress suggested it.
What happened is, the telecommunications conglomerates that control more than 90 percent of our broadcast communications now in the U.S., the telecommunications conglomerates decided that they wanted to get bigger. And so they hired lobbyists and pressured the FCC and the Bush administration, which controls Michael Powell and the FCC, to make these changes.
Between The Lines: Where are we at now in terms of the number of companies that control the lion's share of our print, radio, television, cinema, book publishing, magazines, etc.?
John Nichols: We're now down to, in the most recent calculations, six. Although, even that is a bit deceptive, because many of these companies have partnership deals, where they essentially -- even when they are separately owned -- operate as one company. It's reasonable, to say, as Ted Turner did a couple of weeks ago, five companies control 90 percent of all commercial communications in the United States.
Between The Lines: What are opponents of these deregulatory measures at the FCC doing now to change the outcome, or at least influence public opinion about this kind of letting loose of even more corporate conglomerates from gobbling each other up?
John Nichols: What activists are doing is mounting the most significant campaign ever as regards to an FCC rule change. And really, what I think is the beginning of the most significant media reform movement this country has ever seen. It's incredibly heartening to see what's going on. We've never had a situation in the past where city councils, state legislatures are passing the kinds of resolutions they are now. We've never had the kind of broad-based coalition come together on an issue like this. It's amazing, really. And what they're doing is a lot of the core work. They're getting people to write the FCC. They're getting people to show up at FCC hearings, although there's very few of those. And most importantly, they're getting members of Congress to speak up on these issues. One of the best things that's been happening, as I've mentioned before, around this country are these efforts to pass local city council resolutions saying "Don't do this." The Chicago effort result ed in a 50-to-nothing vote on the city council there in opposition. The Seattle effort, overwhelmingly, the Vermont effort overwhelmingly. And so, people can organize in their hometown level and it does matter.
What we know is, Michael Powell is a political animal; the people at the FCC are very conscious of this opposition. It has an impact. Even if they go ahead with the changes, this kind of activism can build a base that will convince Congress to roll the changes back. Congress has the power to do that. It can't let this be left in the backroom to the television conglomerates, the media conglomerates anymore. This thing has got to be pulled out into the light of day. And Congress has to make sure the FCC does not throw down all the rules and make it possible for us to see a corporate feeding frenzy that will ultimately diminish not just our democracy, but our culture.

Is there really such a thing as a midlife crisis - a true crisis in a person's life that happens in midlife? Yes, there is. But fortunately for most of us, it is a fairly rare event. Unlike the midlife crisis, a midlife transition is a quasi-universal reaction to the major changes that take place in midlife, mentally, physically, and in relationships. This book describes the powerful, dynamic forces that underlie both the midlife crisis and midlife transition, and provides, through clinical case material, a detailed description of each.
With expertise, understanding and empathy, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Calvin Colarusso, M.D., uses his 50 years of experience of working with midlife individuals to explain this hackneyed, but real, crisis in plain English for the general public.
Think of this book as a way to calmly navigate through the turbulent waters of midlife without experiencing a true midlife crisis or a particularly difficult midlife transition; and to understand the often-times puzzling behavior of those you know and love.
Midlife Crisis: Middle Aged Myth or Reality? contains:
A definition of a midlife crisis
A definition of a midlife transition
An understanding of the dynamics underlying both the midlife crisis and transition
A description of midlife physical and psychological challenges
Information about the changing attitude toward birthdays across the life cycle
A detailed clinical example of a midlife transition
A description of the Gauguin syndrome
Two detailed descriptions of midlife crises
About the author, Calvin Colarusso, M.D.: An eminent authority in the field of adult development, Dr. Colarusso is a board certified clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego. He is also a training and supervising analyst in child and adult psychoanalysis at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute and an internationally known lecturer to students, professionals, teachers and the general public on many aspects of childhood and adulthood.

An interdenominational outreach of more than 700 churches in cooperation with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) will take place in Paraguay next week to bring a straightforward message of Gods love to the people of Temuco.
Festival de Esperanza, Franklin Grahams first Festival of Hope in Paraguay, will include music, messages from local leaders, and a program for youth and children.
I look forward to bringing Gods message of hope to Asuncion, said Graham when speaking of the May 12-14 event. People will hear a lot of music from award-winning artists, personal stories, and most importantly, an opportunity to accept Gods love that will change their lives.
Graham, who serves as president and CEO of the BGEA and international relief organization Samaritans Purse, was invited by church leaders to conduct the Festival of Hope. Since 1989, Graham has conducted an average of seven Festivals of Hope a year as an evangelist for the BGEA. Last year, Graham had Festivals of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico; Temuco, Chile; Durban, South Africa; Bakersfield, California (USA); and Halifax, Canada.
According to the DeMossNewsPond, next weeks event in the Defensores del Chaco Stadium will feature three nights of challenging messages from Graham that will be broadcasted live by satellite to five major cities in Paraguay.
Along with the messages, the Festival of Hope will include performances delivered by award-winning artists including Marcos Witt, Marcos Vidal, Assiria, guitar virtuoso Dennis Agajanian, The Gutierrez Brothers, the California-based Tommy Coomes Band, and many local musicians.
All activities are open to the public and admission is free.
