text: I had it in my mind that I would get my granddaughter a real sewing machine, used, somewhere this summer. She is going to be 5 and likes to 'help' me sew. She sits on my lap and guides the fabric thru as I operate the pedal, slowly. She has a 'toy' lap top that is frustrating - small screen, batteries, black and white -a real toy! So I figured instead of a toy sewing machine, I'd get her a real one. And Saturday at a community yard sale, I found one for $15. A Brother, that does have straight and zig-zag, just the basics. It took me awhile to get it threaded and the tension adjusted. But it works. I can tell a big difference from my Elna and this little Brother but I won't have to worry about the batteries dying on her, and it makes real stitches. Pre-school will soon be over and Grams' Sewing School will be in session.

As BlackBerry flails somewhat in trying to capture a share of the consumer smartphone market, at least it has had business customers to fall back on. If the BlackBerry can't be the fun phone to buy for yourself, at least it's the one your company bought for you.
Sensing weakness, like some sort of robot shark, Motorola is going after that segment too with the just-announced Droid Pro, a business-targeted version of its very successful Android phone. It's like the Droid but adds more layers of security, such as the ability to remotely wipe the data in case it's lost or stolen.
Another important feature that has been added to the Droid Pro is support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync technology. This allows corporate users to get their work e-mail pushed to their phones. RIM's push technology has made e-mail its killer application for most corporate users. But with ActiveSync, the Motorola Droid Pro and other devices using the technology, can get the same type of e-mail service as people using a BlackBerry.

There is no point in trying to talk about the "Fiscal Cliff" sensibly. The national discussion about the "cliff", which for starters, isn't a "cliff" or even much like one, is so convoluted that it is past sorting out. It will just be raw-power negotiating and posturing from here on in, all the way to the conclusion, in a process that will never see a conclusion.
But we can talk about the posturing a little. First off, whatever happened to all the Guernica-like wailing about "The Deficit'? Remember that? The defining fiscal, nay, MORAL test of our Fiber as a People. Well, going "over" the "cliff" would "solve" "a lot of" The Deficit. But now it turns out we Can't Have That. Now all of a sudden we are Nuanced once again. It would have been Fine to solve the deficit by strangling the economy BEFORE the election, when it could be blamed on Obama, But NOW there are Other Considerations. Considerations like the fact that the one core plank left in the GOP platform, the Gangplank For the Rest of Us, the TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH, is what matters above all. Tax cuts for the rich is the REAL test of our Fiber As a People, and don't you let any distractions like a Presidential Election Result confuse this important point.
And so, onto the negotiations, which have begun in all their circling and snarling tree-marking magnificence. Obama comes to the table with, surprise, more-or-less the proposal he ran on and won on. "Not so fast" counters John Boehner. He digs into his satchel and pulls out, what? The plan Romney ran on and lost on! See the equivalence here? Of course not! Doesn't matter! GOP pollsters have proven to themselves beyond a doubt that the TRUE MANDATE is getting FEWER votes, if they are from the right people! "Rolling weight-corrected unskewery." But as a public service to you as readers of this Blog, here's your Negotiations Tip Card: See if ANYTHING the GOP brings to the table does not center around Tax Cuts for the Rich.

Comments about ACE HARDWARE Monster 25Ft Almond Telephone Handset Coil Cord (140148-00):
I purchased this cord to replace a cord that wore out after 20+ years of service. After only one year of normal usage, this cord began to short out which continued to get worse. Surprised, I wondered about the quality of the product. Because I liked the length and color, I bought an exact replacement. However, if this second set fails like the first, I will look elsewhere for a replacement.

The weather hasn't been that great lately. Monday was freezing wet and cold and made me long for summer. I am starting to get that spring clean feeling. Planning fun things for summer always gets me through the cold winter months. I decided to start with the bathroom and refresh the body with some nice shower gel. I spotted the new Go fresh range from Dove. The bright fresh colours of green, turquoise and sunny yellow of the packaging really attracted me in the store. Remind you of a spring day. Just looking at the packaging you know what the contents are going to smell like fresh air and the scent of flowers on a summer's day. I decided to try all three fragrances the cool minty deodorant the grapefruit and lemon grass shower gel and the cool cucumber and green tea shampoo. I am now starting the day feeling refreshed which you need when you have a little baby in your life and you have sleep deprivation.Did you know that Dove are running a competition at the moment so I thought why not I would give it a whirl and send them a picture that shows me refreshing my spirit. Check it out and have fun looking through your old photos and have ago at the competition you may have a chance to win some gorgeous prizes or $20,000 now that would be a refreshing start to summer. Check out the fun photos and competition on their site http://www.dovegofresh.com.au/

Jeb Bush: Looming victories 'not a validation' of GOP
Republicans are set to win big in Tuesday's midterm elections but one influential Republican is telling his party not to mistake victory for approval.
"The looming victories for Republican candidates next Tuesday is not a validation of the Republican Party at all," former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) said in an interview with The New York Times.
Big wins would reflect "a repudiation of the massive overreach" by the Democrats and "disgust by the political class," he said.
"It could create a middle ground," the former governor told The Times. "Or it could create a dismemberment of our political parties."
That middle ground may be elusive if some Republican leaders have their way.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told National Journal last week that the primary Republican goal is to make sure President Barack Obama only serves one term.
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," McConnell said.
But former Gov. Jeb Bush disagrees. He says Republicans must be clear that improving the economy and unemployment is their highest priority.
"In particular, he advised Republicans to seek common ground with Mr. Obama and Democrats on trade and energy policy," The Times reported.
Bush believes it's possible that an independent candidate may have the best chance at a presidential win since Ross Perot's 1992 campaign.
"We should maybe try to reset the political climate in Washington" just as Obama had "hit the reset button" on foreign relations, Bush said.
Correction: The original version of this article reported that Bush wanted Obama to "hit the reset button" on foreign policy when, in fact, Bush said Obama had already "hit the reset button."

Nike Skateboarding is building up some serious momentum behind signature hybrids and sequels along with big name collaborations, this new model falling squarely in that latter category. Or make that 'Hollywood Squares', as Los Angeles' Brooklyn Projects crafts an ode to Tinseltown with a new Dunk collab inspired by the nearly 2500 stars embedded into the movie mecca's sidewalks. This Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk Low 'Walk of Fame' is the latest film-themed Dunk SB following up on CNCPTS' Porky's-based teaser and notable earlier designs like the infamous Freddy Kreuger. They feature an aggressive colorup styled after the styles themselves, with Safari print on the black sections evoking the monuments' eye-catching texture. Stick with Sneaker News for the release date and to find out if the big screen becomes a big trend for Nike SB in 2013 (and what about those Concords and the Anthrax teamup?), and check out more photos below in the meantime.

They'll tell you they have no idea why they do what they do.
They can only say that if they don't do it, it simply doesn't feel right.
Does it help athletes perform better? All that matters is that the athlete believes it does.
Athletes at all levels of sports follow routines. They may be as simple as basketball star Michael Jordan wearing a pair of his North Carolina blue shorts under his Chicago Bulls uniform. They may be as wacky as pitcher Turk Wendell who used to brush his teeth between innings and chew black licorice.
If an athlete happens to find success doing the same thing day in and day out, you won't be able to pry him away from his routine with a crowbar.
London Knight Rob Schremp wants to be last off the ice after warmup, periods and games. He likes to take the puck and give it to a fan as he exits the ice.
The king of routine, though, is teammate Corey Perry.
"I do them before I get dressed, as I'm getting dressed and before I get on the ice," said Perry.
The routine starts when he gets out of the car.
"I walk in the same door. I get dressed the same way. I've been doing it since I've been in the OHL," said Perry.
If you get to the John Labatt Centre early or travel on the road, you'll find Perry standing on the ice dressed in his black hockey underwear and shower sandals. He'll be stickhandling, doing tricks, working some magic with the stick and the puck.
In out-of-town buildings you'll hear the occasional "get off the ice" from an arena worker.
"I'm in my own little world," said Perry. "I just think about the game and what I'm going to be doing that night. It's just a little quiet place. It's my time to be alone and not be bothered by anybody."
He heads into the dressing room to get dressed. He always gets dressed the same way. Everything is done left, then right. The left sock goes on, then the right sock; the left shinpad, then the right; the left skate, then the right.
"I know it's weird," said Perry.
Perry is always the last player to take to the ice for the pregame warmup. Just before he goes through the gate, a John Labatt Centre usher hands him a puck. It's the same puck he used earlier during his quiet time.
"Normally it's the same girl there every game but if it isn't, it's whoever is working," he says.
He has no superstitions when it comes to getting off the ice.
Then just before the game . . .
"I wait for the three-minute time check," said Perry. "As soon as I get it I put on my sweater. I don't know why I do it but I do. I take the same bottle of water. (Trainer Don Brankley) comes by and does the tiedowns on my sweater. I'm always the last one to get that done. Then I wet my hair and wet my face, put on my gloves (left first, then right), tap both doors and go out."
He'll be the last player to take to the ice unless he's in the starting lineup and has to be introduced.
Psychologists will tell you that athletes do precompetition routines to help them focus for what's to come. It also gives them a sense of control.
Perry will tell you the same thing.
"It makes me mentally prepare for the game," he said. "If I don't do something it won't screw up my game but it just makes me more comfortable for the game. It's nothing I have to think about. I know in my mind it's time to do this, time to do that."
There's one other thing. Written on the tape on his stick is "1G, 2A." It's been on his stick since he can remember. Not surprisingly, he doesn't know why it started.
"It's my game stick. It doesn't mean anything. I just always put it on my No. 1 stick," he said. "When you are doing well, you don't want to change anything."
Perry may break the Knights' all-time points-scoring record tomorrow night. He trails Chris Taylor by two points.
No wonder he doesn't want to change a thing.

ICT conference, Liverpool
I was honoured to be asked to give a presentation at the Enhancing Learning and Teaching with ICT conference for Liverpool City Council, Children Services alongside Sir Ken Robinson and Professor Stephen Heppell.
This is the second time I have had the dubious pleasure of following Sir Ken on to a stage to present. I say dubious because the man is a remarkable act to follow. Great wit matched with great wisdom.
Ken and I wondered if there was a bit of a theme being cultivated here today, both of us using a stick to navigate with. We wondered if Stephen would turn up on a drip! (Thankfully not, even after a nasty ski accident just before BETT.)
Robinson and Rylands even formed a duo to rival Status Quo.
What a superb event! Thank you to Paul Bradshaw, (Senior School Improvement Officer, ICT and Global Learning.) and his colleagues for an excellent and inspiring day.
After my presentation I was interviewed by some Students from Broughton Hall High who are reporting live from the 'Enhancing Learning and Teaching with ICT' conference for RadioWaves. The interview should go up HERE soon. They made tremendous and enquiring reporters. They had the opportunity to interview Ken Robinson, myself and Stephen Heppell. Their broadcasts and blogs will be available at RadioWaves by the end of the week.
Please listen and leave your own comments..
In a lunchtime session after my presentation I talked with a few folk about the incredible range of genres that can be inspired by these visual literacy ideas.

ICT Conference Liverpool 23/1/08
Tim – pleasure to meet you today and really enjoyed your presentation, your use of ICT within it was exceptional. However what was more exceptional was the work you are doing with your pupils which was inspirational. If nothing else you have certainly inspired me to reacquaint myself with the Myst series and look at it in a whole new light. Keep up the good work.
I would also like to echo your sentiments about the conference which Ken and I really enjoyed, it was a shame we could not stay for the afternoon. So thanks too from Ken and I to Paul Bradshaw and everyone who attended the conference and looked after us so well.
John Robinson (Sir Ken's Younger Brother)
Likewise John. It was a pleasure meeting Ken's ikkle bruvver. I agree: an excellent, vibrant event and well done to all of those involved. Good luck with your Myst-ing. Don't forget to do other things though, like eat and sleep. Cheers! Tim
Hi Tim.
Yesterday was brilliant, so many ideas, it was like being given another set of eyes!
This is the teletext thing I was on about
Hopefully I'll be able to tell you soon how I've used your ideas with foundation stage children.
Thank you so much for contributing to our event on Wednesday. I was truly inspired by your session. I will be giving some of your ideas a whirl over the coming weeks. Feedback on the day has been unanimously excellent! Thank you once again.
Best wishes,
Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation which was both inspirational and practical and you did so well to follow Sir Ken. Our girls enjoyed the whole day and taking part in the interviews which is very much connected to the way we are developing our curriculum.
Whenever you are in Liverpool again you would be most welcome to visit us.
Ged Murphy Head Teacher Broughton Hall High School
hiya tim, really enjoyed Wednesday. I would never have thought msyt could be so engaging – will dust off my copy and try it out with my Y4 class after half-term. Thanks for re-energisng my thinking. Enjoy Cyprus.
Your input at the Liverpool ICT Conference was great!
The video clips of pupils reading out their writing was very inspiring and gave some excellent examples of what children can achieve when given interactive visual prompts. Your teaching clearly stimulated the children's imaginations and brought out some very creative ideas which translated into enthralling writing.
I will certainly be exploring Myst III further.
Gill Lawson, Liverpool LA

I'm trying to copy some strings into a char* array, I've been trying to use strcpy, only when I do, the program crashes. The array is initialized, within a class, as:
char* Commands[MAXNUMBER]
//maxnumber is defined earlier to have a value of 10
Then I am trying to intitalize the array within the constructor funcion as follows:
strcpy(Commands[0], "status");
strcpy(Commands[1], "load");
strcpy(Commands[2], "coffee");
strcpy(Commands[3], "chocolate");
strcpy(Commands[4], "soup");
strcpy(Commands[5], "quarter");
strcpy(Commands[6], "dime");
strcpy(Commands[7], "nickel");
My first instinct told me to make the array 2 dimensional, but that did not work. How can I scan the strings into the array without having the program crash when I get to this part of the code?

Here is the famous Darwin's Pinnacle. This is a huge black lava formation that has eroded over time and is the most representative image of the Galapagos archipelago. Near Pinnacle Rock you can also see two beautiful beaches in the form of a crescent. After we snorkel with sea turtles, sharks, white tip reef, tropical fish, sea lions and many other unique marine species. Also, this is the perfect area to observe the Galapagos Penguins. After lunch, we visit Sullivan Bay, here you can see some amazing lava formations, the product of a volcanic eruption in 1903.

Mark Fox speaks, Mr. Blog Man listens
- With four more games before SEC play begins (the Bulldogs play High Point on Tuesday night), Fox said he's pretty comfortable with his team's rotation. That's despite not really being able to empty the bench, since it hasn't had any comfortable wins this season.
Nine players got at least 10 minutes in Saturday's win over Arkansas State, and Donte' Williams and Connor Nolte also saw action.
"We'd like to get some guys still more minutes, to get their feet wetter than they already are," Fox said. "But I think we're starting to get a clear picture of what guys can do and what combinations work well together."
- Fox brushed off the recent losses of SEC teams and what they mean to the league as a whole.
"If you just look at our side, so Tennessee lost a couple games. They also got some great wins," Fox said. "Every league has a bad loss or two. Every league. Our league is no different. The ACC has them, the Pac-10 has them. The Big Ten has them. That's something that's not an issue just for our league."
Fox had no way of knowing this, but as he was speaking Florida was in the midst of losing at home to Jacksonville.
MY TAKE: To be fair to Fox, he has to support and defend his league, but the fact is the SEC has more than a few bad losses. And it's more if you count some of the blowouts, like Mississippi State to Virginia Tech.
"I haven't seen it since, but last week our division had three teams in the top 10 of the RPI. And four of the top 25, so I think we'll enough strength there," Fox said.
As of Monday, Florida was No. 3, Kentucky was No. 7, Tennessee was No. 13 and Vanderbilt was No. 16.
Georgia was No. 42, while the two teams it lost to – Notre Dame and Temple – were both in the top 30.
- There might be more away games at smaller in-state schools in Georgia's future. The Bulldogs agreed to play at Mercer for scheduling purposes, but Fox said there are benefits to it as well.
"It might be a smaller gym but we like to play around the state a little bit,"" Fox said, pointing out that the Bulldogs played in Gwinnett last season. "So once in awhile we'll get out, just to make it easier for those fans to see us, who live in that part of the state."
MY TAKE: More and more big schools are having to play these games, because the mid-majors are jumping at the chance to do two-for-ones, as Mercer did in this situation. Honestly I'm not sure Fox really wants to do this on a regular basis, but it's a nice thing to say.
- Finally, Fox said he did make good on his bet to Chris Barnes. (Fox had told his senior forward, a 47-percent career free throw shooter, that he would run the steps at Stegeman Coliseum if Barnes hit two consecutive free throws.
It was reported in some outlets that Fox had to run at Sanford Stadium, but the coach said that wasn't the case.
"I'm not stupid," Fox said. "I'll bet him that he'll shoot 80 percent from the line – if he shoots that for the year, I'll run Sanford Stadium."
MY TAKE: It depends on how many levels Fox would have to run in order to say he actually "ran Sanford Stadium." If it's just from the ground up to the concourse, c'mon coach, that shouldn't be a problem. The whole stadium, yeah, that'd be crazy.

I said I took all 3 to LOSE their games.
Another post where you JUST MAKE UP WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO MAKE UP & POST THAT.
By the way, that's a big wee-wee-wee all the way home if Mark Richt had beat 3 teams in a 14-game season who have a winning record. There are NONE he beat with a winning record and NONE I picked to win their bowl game.
By the way, I am 3-0 on my bowl picks D.A.

I may be mistaken, but isn't running Sanford Stadium part of the basketball players conditioning before the season? I think they have to run up every step in the stadium, so that would be "running Sanford Stadium" to them. It sounds like hell to me.

You notice he said if you buy calls for ten years, you 'probably' would make your money back in a bull market. The only certain thing that you can take from his commentary is that he, the broker is the only one that gets paid every year, no matter what. And the farmer gets to pay the bill. Who would've figured ??
A poor monsoon in India implies dramatic price escalation on the world market in the months ahead. I do not think that it is a good idea for farmers to make forward contracts at this time.

How To Start A Travel Baseball Team
How To Start A Travel Baseball Team
There are many things you must know when it comes to starting a travel baseball team. Although it may seem easy, you can't just sign up 12 players and look for games. There is much more to starting a travel baseball team.
The first thing you need to know when starting a travel baseball team is that you must start the process early. Starting a travel baseball team takes a long time and there are many things that you will need to do that take time. I would give yourself AT LEAST six months in advance of starting a travel baseball team. Even if you know a bunch of kids that already want to sign up, you will still need the time. Trust me.
So, why will it take so long to start a travel baseball team? Well, you have to do things like:
Recruit players
Determine a budget
Find a place to practice
Make a team name
Design and order a team uniform
Collect money from the parents
Register the team (USSSA, Triple Crown, AAU, Nations Baseball, USTBA, Super Series)
Find tournaments and create a schedule.
When it comes to recruiting players for a new travel baseball team you must first determine what kind of players you are looking for. Are you looking for a baseball travel team full of studs or one with good parents? If you want your travel team to be full of studs, you are going to have to a lot more recruiting and you may encounter problems with the parents. If you focus on finding good baseball players with great parents, your travel baseball team will have a much happier season.
Tryouts are a good way to find some players that you might not have seen before, but most of your players will come from you calling coaches and parents from leagues that you already know. If you do hold a tryout, make sure you advertise the travel baseball team tryout in the newspaper and online. You want as many kids to show up as possible because you don't want to spend the money on the field and only have 6 kids show up.
When recruiting players for your newly started travel baseball team, make sure you accept around 30 players. Don't worry, they will weed themselves out even before the season starts. Thirty is a good number if you want to end up with 15 by the end of the season.
When talking to the parents you need to sell the team. Why would it be beneficial for their son to play on your travel baseball team? If you have a great coach, they need to know his credentials. If you are going to be playing in highly scouted tournaments, they need to know that. If you have the best looking uniforms in town, they need to know it.
Determining A Budget – When it comes to determining a budget for your new travel baseball team, there are many things you need to consider. Estimate your costs and pad the estimation so that you will not have to end up paying for things out of your pocket. Here are some of the costs associated with starting a travel baseball team:
Practice field
Incorporating the team
Team insurance
Registering the team
Registering the players
Tournament fees

By Dr. Ellen Kennedy, director of service-learning
Last fall the University of St. Thomas began a new program called The Changing Faces of Minnesota. Six faculty members and their classes went to Abraham Lincoln High School, a school for immigrant and refugee students in Minneapolis, for six class periods. Lincoln and St. Thomas students worked together on math problems, writing poetry, producing a play and getting to know one another. At the semesters end, 75 Lincoln students and their teachers joined 60 UST students for a special lunch on the St. Thomas campus.
What did the UST students think? Here are some of their responses:
- I enjoyed the time I spent with the students and I wish it couldve been longer!
- The best thing was that I interacted with the most diverse crowd I have ever been around.
- It made me happy to see how positive and smart the kids were. It gave me hope that theyll be all right later on.
- Knowing that I made a difference in someones life [is] a feeling that will encourage me to make a difference in other peoples lives.
- I liked seeing the diversity in Minnesota and working with people from other ethnicities.
- I met new people and had fun with them.
- I learned more about other cultures than I ever could have by just reading a book. I wish I would have had more time with the students.
- I realized a lot about myself that I had not observed before. It was an experience of self-discovery.
- The most positive thing for me: friendship.
The Lincoln students were equally positive, as were all the faculty at both schools. Faculty participants at St. Thomas were: Dr. Susan Callaway and Dr. Amy Muse, English Department; Dr. Bernard Brady and Dr. Cara Anthony, Theology Department; Dr. Sue Smith-Cunnien, Sociology Department; and Dr. Jeffery McLean, Mathematics Department.
St. Thomas plans to continue The Changing Faces of Minnesota next fall, and weve received a $6,000 grant to help us. The grant will support some work-study positions for students who participated in fall 2003, give stipends to coordinators at Lincoln, and perhaps most important for the success of the experience it will pay for bus transportation from St. Thomas to Lincoln. The grant was awarded by the Upper Midwest Campus Consortium and Learn and Serve America.
For more information about The Changing Faces of Minnesota, contact me, Dr. Ellen Kennedy, director of service-learning, (651) 962-5082.

Einstein was quite upset at the idea of the creation of Israel following the Zionist plan, which he called fascist in a December 4, 1948 letter to the New York times co-signed with some 27 other NY Jewish intellectuals, and asking the US president not to meet Menachem Begin and not to support the creation of Israel.
James Hunter 10/23/2014 at 10:36 am
Import duties could work, but only depending on the importing country's goverment agreement to do so. The actual trick for evading not possiby duty fees but rather boycott of Israel's products is the one initiated by Canada's best friend of Israel, prime minister Stephen Harper, who changed the labelling requirements for produces sold in Canada by not having the companies obliged to use "Made in...", "Produce from..." Instead it's now "Prepared in...", "Packaged in..." So, thanks to Harper and his electorate and friends from B'nai B'rit, Israel is laughing at the face of Canadians who would like to boycott that shameless land and freedom stealing country.
- The New McCarthyism on Israel: Naming and Shaming . . . Hillel
James Hunter 10/17/2014 at 12:06 pm
Many authors and collaborators, Jews and Arabs, have claimed that Jews and Palestinians are Semite, both originating from the Biblical Sem Branch. It is also said that there was a lot of intermarriage between Jews ans Arabs over the centuries if not the millennia, that both peoples were considered as cousins..., and so on. The use of the accusation of anti-Semitism is a gag attempt and/or a scare tactic in many ways since anti-Semitic comments published in the media can be taking their authors into courts of justice in certain countries, in Canada for instance. As a matter of fact a Québec politician was forced out of government for having said in a radio interview that "Jews were not the only ones who had suffered in the world"... To me the constant use of anti-Semitism by Jews to defend Israel, no matter what Israel has been horribly doing since 1948, is diluting the real meaning/reason/historical facts behind the creation of that word. I would not go as far as comparing it to "Crying Wolf", but who knows how far the term will be overused, overplayed, and degraded in the decades to come.

I totally agree with you about the frontiers of 1947, a partition decided under the League of Nations without the 2 million Palestinians' opinion and consent and kept as such when the United Nations replaced the League of Nations. Quite frankly, the UN should put its UN hat and pants and force Israel to give back all the land stolen from the original three (3) partitioned Palestinian territories and amounting to 47% of their territory while roughly 150,000 Palestinian Jews were given 53%. Israel should be forced to add economical retribution and technical help to rebuild housing units, destroyed Palestinian infrastructures, chicken farms and other food producing facilities, provide Palestinians full access to the underground water tables, electricity, airports (to be rebuilt for having been destroyed by Israel, especially the then brand new Gaza airport) and so on. The day Israel will correct its ways and give Palestinians their due, I'll stand and applaud Israel. I've been practicing applauding for decades so I'll sound loud and clear on that glorious day.

Hunter, J. 07/30/2014 at 11:32 am
I won't say the Israelis, but the zionists started the whole process 66 years ago, and put a lot of conviction, manipulation, military power, money, diplomatic influence, and so on, into the whole process, and it would appear it's NOW too late for any Peace Process to be established once and for all. The Peace Process was a no go to start with as soon as a new right-wing Israeli administration would take over Israel, or as soon as a converted pacifist Israeli prime minister would be killed for his belated conversion. The Israeli problem is mainly internal: the ones opposed to Israel's wrongdoings have no voice in trying to stop Israel, or are moving out of the country for fear of their security. The problem is also external: the western main media (press, radio, TV, and even Internet sites) belong mostly to zionists or pro-zionist owners. BDS might be the only proven and possible solution thus far.

Both consequences are possible. The latter happened to a US president already, and it would seem it had its effect on all the following presidents.

- Israel & Palestine both Need to Root out the Hate
Hunter, J. 07/28/2014 at 11:12 pm
There was peace between Israel and Gaza until Netanyahoo accused Hamas of kidnapping three settler teenagers in the West Bank and organized rough searches and mollesting of Gazans. He wanted war to start so there would be NO unification between Hamas and the Fatah. So maybe the hate should be set aside in the Israeli PM's head first. Mind you it's probably not hate but land grabbing for Eretz Israel that's the main objective.

Hunter, J. 07/26/2014 at 7:55 am
To adanac: It's nearly impossible not to agree with you, but unfortunately one of those assisting countries is the U.S.A. Which country or countries will manage to impose a worldwide decision to sue the American empire at The Hague. That empire is still there to stay for a while more or longer depending on the success of the full-fledge application of The Project for the New American Century? If such country or association of countries exists, the bringing of the U.S.A. to court will drag because there'll be threats, military ones... Just look at Israel's wrondoings and non respect of dozens of UN Resolutions, and nothing is being done worldwide that will bring success in taking that zionist country to the world court, although the world has massively judged that country guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity and total non respect of Palestinian human rights, besides stealing Palestinian land, property, etc...

Israel targeted all Gazan civilians when it made Gaza that biggest open-air prison in the world. Lying, playing with words and logic as a diversion can not and won't work in Israel's best interest forever, and neither will BDS.

Hunter, J. 06/29/2014 at 2:29 am
Agreed! That part of Lebanon occupied by Israel also included the third UN-partitioned territory "given" to the Palestinians, along the Lebanon border. When we look at the original UN partitioning map, it's easy to see how much was taken from the Palestinians by Israel since December 1948. Now we talk about respecting and abiding to the 1967 borders' agreement, but the UN should have imposed its original 1948 partitioned borders. The British and the US didn't help enforcing it, although the Palestinians, nearly 2 million then compared to roughly 150,000 Jews, were left with only 43% of the whole of their Palestine...

If the British oil company operating at the border of Iraq on the Kuwaiti side hadn't been pumping Iraqi oil with those lateral drilling rigs, we wouldn't have had the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein to stop the stealing of Iraq's oil, and no attack of Iraq by Dady Bush. Hussein was particularly upset at the British oil companies since the British had, years ago, taken that part of Iraqi land, now called Kuwait, and made it a new nation, with oil reserves and the only deep sea port, depriving Iraq of its only deep sea shore and future port, therefore limiting Iraq's oil sales volume by much. That probably explains why Iraq's oil reserves amounted to about 2/3 of all oil reserves back then, a huge fortune in black gold that the US eyed for the controlling, if not the taking...

Iran has some performing surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, including anti-ship ones. If it had to use them to try to push back the Israeli bombers and fighter jets in its airspace and territorial waters, I'm afraid Israel might be tempted to go to the next level, the nuke one. Let's hope some good sense will be forced upon Netanyahoo. And let's not forget that China and India, and Russia, just to name those three of the BRICS, might react in such a way that the U.S.A. would feel obliged to intervene. Will it be militarily or diplomatically? I say the second alternative, but it should be forced upon Netanyahoo by the U.S.A. and the Israeli electorate right now before that dangerous Israeli Prime Minister puts his threat in force, as he just announced it in the presence of the whole UN General Assembly on top of that, and particularly because no one in there reacted to that illegal move. That absence of reaction might be perceived by Netanyahoo as a silent agreement about his warmongering plans

A French version of what was originally really said but badly translated (by Iran's own Islamic Republic Information Agency; I've been a translator for 30 years and can vouch for having seen very serious errors in translations, particularly by people whose target language is not their mother tongue) and then immediately published by the international news media, including the BBC and the Time Magazine, and kept as is even after Iran read the English version and issued an immediate correction. The October 25, 2005 declaration by Ahmadinejad was referring to Khomeiny's declaration in the '70s:
"Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shaved".
Imam (religious name for Khomeiny) ghoft (a dit) een (ce) rezhim-e (régime) ishghalgar-e (occupant) qods (Jérusalem) bayad (doit) az safheh-ye ruzfgar (de la page du temps) mahv shavad (disparaître de).

And also how about keeping reins on the banksters, the oligarchs and the military industrial complex? We could also reform the UN Security Council to make it fair for the whole world, not just for five ex and actual superpowered empires and colonialist countries.

While the discussion is about elections of leaders who have been heads of States for too long, why not look at the elections of the Qatari and Saudi heads of States? There might even be others in the region who have been at the helm far too long and whose ruling has been reprehensible. Funny that we don't hear about them on the mainstream media, not until they're no more the flavour of the day that is...
- US Drone Operator says, 'I became a sociopath', regrets 1626 Killings (Lest we forget)
Hunter, J. 06/19/2013 at 6:27 pm
How would the Americans react if drone attacks and killings were targeting them?
I feel that robot wars will only increase resistance and reactions of revenge. It may take some time though, but it could happen. When you lose a child, killed by a US drone, will you ever forget and forgive it? The Americans wouldn't... So why would it be any different for the victims' parents, brothers, uncles, sisters? Revenge may not happen on the US territory, but to US citizens, most likely civilians and tourists at that, in some friendly country. Who knows what the future will be for the most warmonger country in human history?
- Russia: Iran is ready to Cease Enriching Uranium to 20%
Hunter, J. 06/19/2013 at 6:01 pm with 2 replies
I agree with you. I'd add that the Iranian banking system control and the renewed Iranian oil control by the West, namely the U.S.A., would be and most likely is one of the real motivations for going to war against Iran.
Judging on the relations between Iran and Russia, I wonder if the latter would react against that next war like it's doing against the war in Syria. I think that yes would be the proper answer.

After all, Kerry is doing what Russia has been vetoing the UN all along until this all-sides negociations would be agreed upon, and in the presence of al-Asad.

- Dear Oklahoma: We Feel for you, we love you, but do us some favors
Hunter, J. 05/23/2013 at 7:14 pm with 1 replies
The main objection we've been constantly hearing about the building of strong and safe tornado shelters is the fact that Oklahoma's ground is mainly rock, very hard rock, and it would be too expensive to build underground shelters.
I could think of a better solution: build the bloody shelters above ground, preferably in a reasonably low dome shape for the least possible wind resistance, made of steel reinforced concrete, with strong steel doors whose access is protected by a short tubular shaped extension, like the entrance of the igloos, and literally bolted into the rock, that hard rock that no tornado will ever be able to pull out.
The domes could be mass produced, equipped with batteries and lighting fixtures, and sold in different sizes or customized to receive various numbers of people in total safety, and comfort if need be, for the hour or two that the tornado will be raging over the area.
Of course, short of moving to quieter part of the country, the above-ground concrete shelters won't solve the tornados' increase problem and the costly destruction they'll keep causing.

- Eyeless in Gaza: When will Israel let its People Go?
Jacques James 04/04/2013 at 5:08 pm
Correct me if I'm wrong, Rudolph, but wasn't there an election coming in Israel after that November 4, 2008 when Israel violated its ceasefire to start a new war, named Cast Lead, and use it to make the resistance Gazans look like terrorists, use that new war to have the Israeli population back the government for re-election, and ultimately claim again to be the victim of "terrorist Gaza" in front of the whole world?
The same thing might have happened in the same proportion last November, before the 2012 Israeli election. It's obvious that Israel keeps trying to fool the whole world with its PR and Western media influence, while the majority of countries know what's really happening in Palestine. One day there might be a radicallisation of most countries against Israel, just like there was one against Apartheid South Africa. Beware Israel!
Jacques James 04/04/2013 at 1:47 am with 1 replies
It's a well known fact that before every Israeli national election Israel's leaders have the habit of provocating a war against the Palestinians to get the population's support and vote therefore... It was like that in December 2008 when more than 1,000 Gazans were bombarded and killed by Israel. So why would it have been different in November 2012?
You should read this:
Israel: masquerading as the victim of an unprovoked attack

and this:

And finally, this:
Who Started the Israel-Gaza Conflict?
A summary of events in the renewal of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities, Nov 8 - Nov 15
By Emily L. Hauser
"Recent events in Israel and the Gaza Strip have been unusual only in scope. Violence and fear of violence is a near-daily reality for the residents of Gaza and Israel's southern communities. There's a constant back and forth, and on both sides, there's always something or someone to avenge.
"For instance, some Palestinian sources date the start of this latest round of violence back to November 4, when Reuters reported the death of "an unarmed, mentally unfit man" who strayed too near the border fence, did not respond to reported Israeli warnings, and was then shot. Palestinian medics report that Israeli security personnel prevented them from attending to the man for a couple of hours, and say that he likely died as a result..."
Since November 1948 Israel has been stealing Palestinian land, occupied it, and fenced or surrounded with walls Palestinian agricultural land, humiliating Palestinians, shooting them, especially children and women (do you wish to see the special T-shirts the IDF soldiers had made, showing a child or a pregnant woman ("two for one" the t-shirt said) seen through the scope of a rifle...
Even with all that injustice, dire life, killing, you give the impression that you wish for them to simply lie down and die. As we saw it in France during WWII, there's a way of reacting to all those military excesses described above, and it's called résistance. If it was good with the French and some Jews who fought with the French against Hitler's armies, it's also good for Palestinians to defend what's theirs in order to have every chance of surviving Israel's attempts of elimination.
The U.S.A. may veto all UN motions against Israel's wrongdoings and non respect of the UN Resolutions condemning Israel, but history will be eventually showing a greater sense of justice and finally condemn Israel, and unfortunately all the pacifist and humanitarian Jews will be accused as well, the ones who want to live in peace with the Palestinians, their neighbours. More and more Jews refuse to hear/see Israel claim that it's doing all those crimes for the good of all Jews. Orthodox rabbis claim that Israel shouldn't have been created until the coming of the Messiah.
I also suggest that you watch Occupation 101 on video on the Net, and the online 4 parts of the 6-hour TV Series The Promise, and also Defamation.

Damn, perhaps I should have used "functionally illiterate" instead.Illiteracy... on message board....
that made no Fiat sense at all.
Yes my eye, block away.
fiat_money wrote: »So I'll call bullshit here, for a few reasons in fact. Firstly, they have no way of knowing the number of stars in the universe.Taken from Black Roots Science E-Book
There are 125 billion trillion trillion atoms in the earth.
How many stars are there in the universe?
125 billion trillion trillion...
Secondly, the usage of "billion trillion trillion" pretty much shows they are not familiar with scientific notation, or that this is not a true scientific publication. Instead of saying "billion trillion trillion", they could've said "decillion" or "10^33". They likely used it because it sounds like a big number.
But thirdly, and most importantly, they clearly have a limited knowledge of molecular science to say there's only 125,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 1.25x10^35 or 125 decillion atoms in the Earth.
However I won't just say that, I'll show it.
This example will use the known capacity of oil tankers to determine if "1.25x10^35" accurately represents the number of atoms in the Earth -
The minimum tonnage of a typical ULCC tanker is 320,000 tonnes. ULCC tankers actually hold up to 550,000 tonnes, but since part of that value accounts for non-oil weight, I'll use the minimum amount to be conservative. One tonne is 1000 kg, which is 1000000 grams. Therefore the typical minimum tonnage is 3.2x10^11 grams of oil. So for these calculations "T" will equal 3.2x10^11.
On average, oil is composed of 85% carbon, 12% hydrogen, 1.05% nitrogen, 0.8% oxygen, 0.55% sulfur, and less than 0.1% metal. These values will be represented by "P/100", or the percent divided by 100.
To calculate the number of atoms per mass of a substance, we use Avogrado's number (which is 6.022x10^23) and the Atomic Weight (which varies by element). The atomic weights of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur are 12.011, 1.008, 14.007, 15.999, and 32.06, respectively. These will be represented as "A" and "W". Metal will be excluded because it is both vague and will add a nominal amount of atoms to the overall total.
So, to recap:
T=3.2x10^11 grams
P/100 is the average percentage of an element in crude oil
W is the atomic weight of an element
N will be the number of atoms
The formula for calculating the number (N) of atoms in a mass (M) of an element is "(M/W)*A=N". In this case, M is equal to T, so the formula becomes:
When allowing the percentage to vary, the formula becomes:
When substituting the constants, the formula becomes:
The final formula is derived by multiplying the constants:
Using this formula, it is calculated that, in average crude oil, there are:
1.36736575x10^34 atoms of Carbon
2.294095238x10^34 atoms of Hydrogen
1.444557721x10^32 atoms of Nitrogen
9.63580223x10^31 atoms of Oxygen
3.305901435x10^31 atoms of Sulfur
When adding them all together, the value is 36888482688749998271359957583527936 or 3.688848268874999827135995758352793x10^34.
Finally, when dividing the proposed number of atoms in the entire Earth by the number of atoms in the oil held by a typical ULCC tanker, the expression is:
From this, we can conclude that 4 ULCC tankers filled with oil carry more atoms than the amount of atoms in the entire Earth.
This, of course, is impossible. Thus, based on the first line alone, the "Black Roots Science E-Book" is bullshit.
Also, my inability to find the classic IC :confused smiley is disheartening. That and :laff were the cream of the crop.

A Californian woman has been arrested amid allegations that she drugged her husband, chopped off his penis and ground it up in a waste disposal unit before alerting the police.
Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, was taken into custody on Monday after telling police that her husband had "deserved it".
Officers found a 51-year-old man tied to the bed and bleeding profusely from the groin in the couple's home.
Ms Becker is accused of drugging her husband's food with a sedative.
She then allegedly used a ten-inch kitchen knife to slice off his genitals before calling 911.

Über mich
I want to do it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What to say? I consider myself fun loving, outgoing, and laid back. I love traveling and meeting new people. My favorite thing is having people over and I believe the more the merrier!! I enjoying hosting or just meeting new people.
I think living overseas in Taiwan is the most amazing and wonderful adventure. And I am always up for a good adventure. Before Taiwan I was living in South Korea for a year and a half and then traveled the world for seven months, doing Southeast Asia, the Trans-Siberian, and Eastern Europe. I am now on a indefinite journey though South America.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body - but rather to skid in sideways, a walking stick in one hand and champagne in the other, body throughly used up and totally worn out, screaming YEAH BABY! What a ride!"
I love this quote. I believe in Living life passionately and to the fullest. You only live once.
Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin
When I am settled anywhere for even a brief period of time I offer up my couch. I have been really bad lately at responding to requests and I am sorry. I was living in Moscow and just crazy busy - I also got a lot of form requests and I don't really feel the need to reply to those - write me something unique that shows you read my profile and I will always reply.
I have had some awesome surfing experiences in Moscow, Krakow, Warsaw, Budapest, Athens, Canada, Thailand. I really really love couchsurfing. I think it is the most amazing idea - and it really works!! I have met so many people and enriched my travel. My parents have been hosting through me as well and have loved it.
The best way to understand a new place is by getting to know people who live there. I have enjoyed all my surfing and hosting experiences. I had a blast hosting with my roommates in Taiwan, who are also couchsurfers. In fact they started out as surfers and ended up moving in!
I have had the opportunity to have surfers from all over the world at my apartment and it has been great!
Reading, traveling, cooking, wine, hiking, biking, rock climbing, socializing, scuba diving. Pretty much anything outdoors, or adventurous.

Musik, Filme und Bücher
I love to read. Devour books. I am always up for a good book suggestion. Princess Bride is my all time favorite movie. And I love music. Ipods are a great invention.
Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
Bungee Jumping! Zip line in Costa Rica and Panama. Scuba Diving in Honduras and Borneo. Being ship wrecked in the Philippines. Nearly getting arrested for breaking into an abandoned amusement park in the US. Fireworks festival, Taiwan. Oh and I finally counted I have been to exactly 53 countries - if you count peeing in Albania and a layover in New Zealand. :)
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I love meeting everyone. Each person I meet has a story or something I can learn from them. It is awesome to meet someone new and just connect or to find out what you have in common. I do prefer people who like to talk. :) Makes conversation easier. Especially if they have some good stories or adventures to share.

General Mills, the food giant behind Cheerios cereal and Yoplait yoghurt, has been forced to backtrack on a stealthy attempt to get consumers to surrender their rights to sue.
The American company discreetly changed the terms and conditions on its products to stipulate that any consumer who downloaded information or special offer coupons from its websites, or entered company contests, automatically agreed never to sue the business.
Instead, the company, which also owns Green Giant and Lucky Charms cereal, said consumers would have to resolve any disputes through informal negotiation or arbitration.
The move comes against a backdrop of growing legal bills for US companies, which are routinely hit by class-action lawsuits from consumers, staff and shareholders. Often, the lawsuits are launched by a single disgruntled individual and a lawyer, who then advertise widely for people to join the petition.
General Mills has been especially hard hit by such cases. Last year it paid $8.5m to settle a lawsuit over allegedly false health claims on its Yoplait Yoplus yoghurts. In 2012, it was also forced to remove the work "strawberry" from its strawberry-flavoured "Fruit Roll-Ups" in order to settle another legal battle. More recently, it was hit by a class-action suit over the use of the word "natural" on the labels of its Nature Valley granola bars.
The shift might have been regarded as a clever move by the company's lawyers, but it swiftly backfired. Consumers launched an online campaign against the company, and questioned just how far the ban extended. Many people thought they would be stripped of their legal rights simply by "liking" one of the brands on Facebook or by discussing it on Twitter.
General Mills insisted this was not the case but was later forced to ban the new small print altogether in order to calm the backlash.
"We have reverted back to our prior legal terms, which contain no mention of arbitration," a spokesman said.
General Mills introduced the original changes by way of a small notice on its homepage, saying it had updates its privacy policy. "Please note we also have new legal terms which require all disputes related to the purchase or use of any General Mills product or service to be resolved through binding arbitration," it added.

We have here the immediate bad consequences of Abram's unhappy marriage to Hagar. A great deal of mischief it made quickly. When we do not well both sin and trouble lie at the door; and we may thank ourselves for the guilt and grief that follow us when we go out of the way of our duty. See it in this story.
I. Sarai is despised, and thereby provoked and put into a passion, Gen. 16:4. Hagar no sooner perceives herself with child by her master than she looks scornfully upon her mistress, upbraids her perhaps with her barrenness, insults over her, to make her to fret (as 1 Sam. 1:6), and boasts of the prospect she had of bringing an heir to Abram, to that good land, and to the promise. Now she thinks herself a better woman than Sarai, more favoured by Heaven, and likely to be better beloved by Abram; and therefore she will not submit as she has done. Note, 1. Mean and servile spirits, when favoured and advanced either by God or man, are apt to grow haughty and insolent, and to forget their place and origin. See Prov. 29:21; Prov. 30:21-23. It is a hard thing to bear honour aright. 2. We justly suffer by those whom we have sinfully indulged, and it is a righteous thing with God to make those instruments of our trouble whom we have made instruments of our sin, and to ensnare us in our own evil counsels: this stone will return upon him that rolleth it.
II. Abram is clamoured upon, and cannot be easy while Sarai is out of humour; she upbraids him vehemently, and very unjustly charges him with the injury (Gen. 16:5): My wrong be upon thee, with a most unreasonable jealousy suspecting that he countenanced Hagar's insolence; and, as one not willing to hear what Abram had to say for the rectifying of the mistake and the clearing of himself, she rashly appeals to God in the case: The Lord judge between me and thee; as if Abram had refused to right her. Thus does Sarai, in her passion, speak as one of the foolish women speaketh. Note, 1. It is an absurdity which passionate people are often guilty of to quarrel with others for that of which they themselves must bear the blame. Sarai could not but own that she had given her maid to Abram, and yet she cries out, My wrong be upon thee, when she should have said, What a fool was I to do so! That is never said wisely which pride and anger have the inditing of; when passion is upon the throne, reason is out of doors, and is neither heard nor spoken. 2. Those are not always in the right who are most loud and forward in appealing to God. Rash and bold imprecations are commonly evidences of guilt and a bad cause.
III. Hagar is afflicted, and driven from the house, Gen. 16:6. Observe, 1. Abram's meekness resigns the matter of the maid-servant to Sarai, whose proper province it was to rule that part of the family: Thy maid is in thy hand. Though she was his wife, he would not countenance nor protect her in any thing that was disrespectful to Sarai, for whom he still retained the same affection that ever he had. Note, Those who would keep up peace and love must return soft answers to hard accusations. Husbands and wives particularly should agree, and endeavour not to be both angry together. Yielding pacifies great offenses. See Prov. 15:1. 2. Sarai's passion will be revenged upon Hagar: She dealt hardly with her, not only confining her to her usual place and work as a servant, but probably making her to serve with rigour. Note, God takes notice of, and is displeased with, the hardships which harsh masters unreasonably put upon their servants. They ought to forbear threatening, with Job's thought, Did not he that made me make him? Job 31:15. 3. Hagar's pride cannot bear it, her high spirit having become impatient of rebuke: She fled from her face. She not only avoided her wrath for the present, as David did Saul's, but she totally deserted her service, and ran away from the house, forgetting, (1.) What wrong she hereby did to her mistress, whose servant she was, and to her master, whose wife she was. Note, Pride will hardly be restrained by any bonds of duty, no, not by many. (2.) That she herself had first given the provocation, by despising her mistress. Note, Those that suffer for their faults ought to bear their sufferings patiently, 1 Pet. 2:20.

Liev Schreiber, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Naomi Watts, isn't exactly running out in the middle of the night to buy her pickles and ice cream.
Asked if Watts, 38, has been experiencing any strange cravings, Schreiber, 39, told PEOPLE: "No. She's great. In fact, I've never seen anyone handle a pregnancy so well. She's amazing."
Schreiber was speaking on Wednesday at a Drama Desk Awards nomination reception in New York City (he is nominated for his role in the Broadway revival of Talk Radio).
He told PEOPLE he would be with the show through June 24 – because after that, "I'm going to have a baby."
So have he and Watts – a couple since 2005 – been making any special preparations for their impending arrival, such as building a nursery? "Nope," he said. "We're just rollin' with it."
Nor have they selected a name. "We don't know the sex yet," he said.
One thing is for sure: The baby won't be named Liev. "It's an awful name," Schreiber told Conan O'Brien in February when he first announced that he and Watts were going to be parents. "It's probably the most oft-mispronounced name in showbiz."
