Police arrested four people late on Tuesday night suspected of torching the offices of Beitar Jerusalem last Friday amid furor over the team's decision to sign two Muslim players from Chechnya. The fire early last Friday morning caused extensive damage to the offices and destroyed team memorabilia.It was the most violent event in more than two weeks of incidents between fanatic Beitar supporters angry at Beitar management for signing two Muslim players. Police arrested more than 25 people for throwing rocks at players' cards, harassing and attacking team security guards, and protesting outside of practices.

I am in the process of designing a lawn sprinkler system for my house. After doing some research I have purchased a Rachio 2nd generation controller and would now like to purchase the rest of the components (valves, pop-up sprinklers, nozzles, etc.). I would like to use sprinklers that are as water efficient as possible. After doing some research I am considering using Toro Precision rotating nozzles (PRN's) along with in-stem valves from a company called Valvette Systems that will allow greater adjustment of the nozzles.Has anyone used these valves before and are they worth getting along with the Toro PRN's? I was thinking of using Toro 570Z PRX spray heads and also use Toro zone valves (not sure which model). Would anyone recommend that I use something different?
FYI. I only have approximately 2500 sqft of lawn and flower beds to water. The system will be supplied by city water at approximately 80 psi through a 3/4" supply pipe.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a former Toro rep, so I always feel good about their products. I've heard good things about valvette, too. As far as the valves I would suggest using Irritrol valves. Irritrol is a division of Toro. For a homeowner I like the 2400 jar top valve. It's been around since 1969 and is easy to repair. Another great Irritrol valve is the 205, the first plastic valve manufactured. Toro makes great valves bur they are pricey for homeowners. For rotors you will like their T5P-Rapid Set. No tools needed to adjust the spray pattern, just your hands.
If you have 80 psi pressure, I encourage you to put a pressure regulator for the whole system. Wilkins, Febco and Watts make them. Theu come preset at 50 psi, which is good for rotors. Your pressure regulated sprays will drop their pressure down to 30 psi. I don't understand why you want to use Valvette. Guess I don't see the point. If they won't work with male thread Toro sprays, you can go with female thread Irritrol IPROs.
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the recommendations.
The reason I was considering using the Valvette Littlevalves is that they allow you to reduce the radius of the Toro PRN's down to 18". Which would allow me to use these nozzles in smaller areas. According to Toro's specs the PRN's only go down to 14' without a Littlevalve installed. Should I be using different nozzles for smaller areas instead, such as the Precision spray nozzles (PSN's) or something from a different manufacturer? I just thought it would make it easier designing the system if I minimized the amount of different sprinklers.
Wow. Very nice.
I don't like having a lot of different parts. For awhile I was mixing the Toro PRNA nozzles and MP rotators, but for me the MP Rotators were a better fit for the dimensions of my large back shrub bed. It really comes down to best product fit for you. I like the flat trajectory of the Toro PRNAs, however.
I've been wondering about the trajectory issue. I'm planning to retrofit my nozzles with rotators and I have a couple areas with moderate slope. maybe 5-6' rise over 20'. There are limited heads in this area so I'm trying to cover the full 20' distance with each head.
For the heads throwing down the slope it's no problem but for the heads throwing up the slope the flat trajectory on the Toro PRNAs doesn't seem like it would work. The MPs seem like they have more arc from the videos I've seen but I'm not sure if it's enough.
What's the right way? Do you angle the head so it's perpendicular to the slope or keep it level?
Hi there. Your question is better answered by someone at Toro Technical Servic. 800-367-8676.Or check with a local supply house. My guess is you will need to use some MP Rotators.
Consider adding a flow meter (or leave room for one) on the manifold for your new irrigation installation. The Iro gen 2 can use it to measure water usage.
Also check with local utilities for rebates on the controller, sprinklers with check valves, rain sensor, etc.

> Interviews > Industry Updates > Banking / Finance > Financial Planning / Wealth Management
Financial planners should focus on long-term professional goals
As a clear sign of a stronger economy, banks are once again increasing headcount and, interestingly, many of the newly created positions relate to financial planning.
HSBC alone intends to recruit over 100 financial planners this year, to add to the roughly 700 it already has, to cope with increasing customer demand for sophisticated wealth management services.
"This strong demand for financial planners reflects macro-level shifts within our industry," says Lena Chan, head of learning and employee development, Asia Pacific. "The increase in customer demand of wealth management services, together with the aging population, support the continuous increase in workforce dedicated to look after the life-stage financial planning and wealth management needs of customers.
This explains why banks are now offering a comprehensive range of investment, insurance and wealth management products tailored to meet the financial goals and needs of individual customers. As a result, suitably qualified professionals are needed to explain the choice and provide expert advice to customers.
"To succeed, financial planners must have a core set of personal attributes," says Ms Chan. "At HSBC, we expect them to have a high level of integrity and to place customer interests above their own. Professionalism and good social and communication skills are needed to foster trust and build long-term relationships with clients."
She adds that the ever-changing choice and types of wealth management products mean financial planners must keep up to date and develop all-round industry expertise. This should cover savings schemes, taxation, insurance, investment and retirement planning. Only by doing this can they offer customers strategic and well-informed information to help realise their financial goals throughout different life stages.
HSBC expects their financial professional accreditation with a commitment on continuous learning. Their recruitment approach is to attract university graduates with two to three years' sales experience; as well as mid-career professionals who may have worked in different fields previously. Besides that, early retirees who are looking to start a second career will get full consideration and are encouraged to apply. An aggressive recruitment drive is currently under way and includes, advertisements, open-house events and staff referral programmes.
Ms Chan's advice to potential applicants is to look beyond immediate remuneration. "Given the global scale of our operations, we can offer a lifetime career, supported by excellent training, and long term international administrative backup and career exposure," she notes. "Our financial planners work closely with relationship managers and other colleagues in different branch offices, putting customer's interest as a priority."
She adds that the bank provides a comprehensive infrastructure of support, that wraps around and support frontline staff, helping them grow and pursue a successful career. "We offer the most attractive customer-base to our financial planners who will need to deliver a high standard of professionalism and integrity to deliver HSBC's promise."
New recruits can expect to follow a well-structured career path. In the first six months, they will complete an intensive training programme. Each part of the programme is designed to develop technical and communication skills, aw well as professional skills in understanding customers' needs.
Assuming they pass the probation period and continue to perform well, financial planning managers can expect to move up to positions as division sales manager and take on broader responsibilities for running the business. There are also opportunities for them to pursue other career interest under a broad spectrum of job opportunities.
"Success in this profession is about individual hard work as much as the support offered by the employer," says Ms Chan. "However, a financial planner must be professional, put customer interest as the first priority, and have a long-term career goal."

text: I just flashed Skyraider 3.5 yesterday. Changed the theme to uncommon (which is just sweet), and I changed the lock screen to the rotary unlock with music controls. Now when my alarm rings in the morning, there is no way to shut it off. I have to restart my phone to get it to go away. I think it might have something to do with the rotary lockscreen. Anyone have any ideas??

without having to climb the Mt. Everest of marketing overwhelm, if ya know what I mean.
Trust me, I've been there too. You've taken some free webinars and downloaded more pdf checklists than you can possibly read in the next year. When you actually take the time to try and educate yourself, it makes sense at the time, you get all excited and gung-ho...and then you forget what you learned and slip back into not having a clear strategy or a roadmap for what to do with your social media.
Every business is different - different voice, different clients, different resources - and there's no way taking a free 1-hour webinar can crystallize exactly how you should be using social media for YOUR business.
The leap from webinar, worksheets + strategy theory - to how to actually put the plans into place for YOUR business is huge.
Confession Time...
Like many small business owners, I started down this road because I knew I had the knowledge, training + experience to "do" digital marketing full time. I mean, I was the social media manager for Megadeth (wrangling 13 million fans across 17 social media accounts) - I could do this on my own right?
What I didn't know, was how to run a business. What was "doing" digital marketing for a living going to look like? How was I going to find clients? Who were my clients? How did I want to structure my services?
How much money should I invest in tools and software to help me with my business and services even more? Bookkeeping? UGH.
Sound familiar?
As I've continued (miraculously and with a lot of grit + determination) down this entrepreneur path, I've realized the one common thread with my biz buddies...
We have to identify those missing gaps in our skills and abilities quickly.
Being able to learn and/or outsource the things that are not within our "Zone of Genius" (i.e. what you're really in business to offer) is essential to successfully moving up and onward.
I'm not perfect.
It took me two years to finally hire a bookkeeper. I finally outsourced most of my graphic design last year.
What is MY "Zone of Genius"?
Teaching other Small Business Rockstars how to make all the pieces of their digital marketing and social media strategy work together.
You'll finally see that return on all your Facebook time, if you know how to do it right.
Resident Social Media Expert
Published Author: Badassery Magazine
Ok Cara, but this is still on my list of "get to later".
This is where I throw some amazing stats at you.
- 71% of consumers who have had a good social media service experience with a brand are likely to recommend it to others.
- Top brands on Instagram are seeing a per-follower engagement rate of 4.21% which is 58 times higher than on Facebook and 120 times higher than on Twitter.
- By 2017, video content will represent 74% of all internet traffic.
- 4X as many consumers would prefer to watch a video about a product than to read about it.
Yeah, yeah - I know Digital Marketing is "suuuuper important - but, ugh".
Imagine this for a minute...
This Custom Digital Marketing Strategy - tailor-made for every facet of you and your business - is going to move your strategy from non-existent to taking action and doing it well.

Sonic is starting to move into Pennsylvania. I've been there a number of times both at their new location here and in North Carolina.
None of the Sonics I've been to have had chocolate ice cream. Are they all like this? I think this is going to be a major draw-back to expanding in some places. A chocolate shake to a lot of people must have chocolate ice cream.
So what's the deal?

Why the world needs prohormones!
LG has always been committed to bringing out the best prohormones of the day that are NOT liver toxic or have the harsh side effects of grey market methyl prosteroids. What most people don't know is that we believe that these healthy hormones are NECESSARY for the modern man over 21 who wants to look and feel his best.
Your body is under constant attack from environmental estrogens. It's not theory any more, it's sound, hard science. The modern man has more estrogen like compounds in his body than ever before in history. These chemicals act like very strong estrogen in the body, making you fat, soft and miserable. BPA is one of the most prevalent, in pretty much everything that is packed in hard clear plastic. "Elevated levels of urinary BPA are associated with measures of obesity independent of traditional risk factors. This association is consistently present across gender and race-ethnic groups.� (1,2,3,4,5) In addition to BPA there are hundreds if not thousands of chemical variants that act like estrogen.
If it doesn't sound bad enough, the modern man also gets hit with things called "endocrine disruptors�which are another set of chemicals that disrupts your ability to make androgens like testosterone. These chemicals destroy androgens, and it is precisely these androgens that make us "men� and give us more muscle than our female counterparts.
This update to the original "Trifecta Kit� launched in 2006 has even better formulations to give you every possible advantage in the gym and help you with your goal of looking and feeling your best!
M1D Andro is a combination of the most popular wet prohormone of all times and a powerful steroidal anti-estrogen.
EPIANDRO is a prohormone to stanolone that may increase aggression and give you insane hardness in the gym.
Form-XT is the perfect PCT product for getting you back into perfect condition after your cycle
We have engineered a delivery matrix that we think based on preliminary studies will help maximize hormone conversion. These ingredients should help you make the most of every tablet!
Things To Know About LG Sciences Prohormones:
1) There is effectively NO liver toxicity with legal prohormones.
2) All claims are dependant on proper diet and exercise.
3) All prohormone products have the possibility of side effects, but they are rare (read the warning on the bottle for a full description).
4) Prohormones should only be taken by people over 21 unless with a doctors supervision.

Once again, Glenn brings it home
Today's column here. I can't add to it, but here's a taste:
It is truly astounding to watch people incapable of understanding the point that the reason it is wrong and dangerous for the President to eavesdrop on Americans without warrants is because doing so is against the law. Shouldn't that be a simple enough proposition that every functioning adult ought to be capable of understanding it?You'd think so. Some of these Bushites claim to be studious, serious people with law degrees and everything, but my five-year-old daughter gets the point that, time and again, seems to escape them.
Unless, of course, their stupidity is a rhetorical device to cover their dishonesty.
Up to you. We report, you deride.

A group of retired and current teachers from Bladensburg Elementary School in Prince George's County gets together at least twice a year to talk about families, share fond memories and discuss the latest in education.
But the last time the group met, they realized something they hadn't noticed before: Mona Sobel was the only one among the long-serving educators who was still teaching at the school.
When Sobel greeted her 26 students in Room 5 for the start of the school year three weeks ago, she marked the beginning of her 40th year as a first-grade Bladensburg teacher.
"I still love what I do," said Sobel, 61, who decided that she wanted to become a teacher while working as a teenage babysitter more than four decades ago. "I always wanted to work with children, but the little ones."
Sobel sat in her white rocking chair during a recent class, instructing her students to remove their science books from their desks, bring the books over to the rug near her and sit down in a circle.
"I shouldn't hear a sound," said Sobel, wearing tan capri pants and a turquoise-colored blouse and shrug. The students quietly moved from their seats and sat on the floor with their legs crossed.
Today's lesson: nonliving things.
"Nonliving things were never alive," Sobel told the students. "They do not need food or water. They do not change."
Sobel began calling on students, asking them to name something in the classroom that is a nonliving thing.
One said "chairs." Another answered "books." When Stephanie said "globe," the students and Sobel placed their finger on their nose. That is what the class does when someone uses one of the "Wordly Wise" vocabulary words. Some of the other words of the week: "vacation" and "capitol."
Teachers, principals and even curricula have come and gone, but Sobel has remained a constant at the school, which about 700 students attend. It is not unusual for her to teach the children of some of her former students.
Sobel said she has learned to "go with the flow" as curriculum and teaching methods change, which they seem to do every few years. She said the new Common Core standards, which 45 states have adopted as part of a nationwide effort to standardize U.S. education, "seem to be a lot of the things we did back in the '70s."
The biggest change she has noticed over the years: the lack of resources.
"Schools don't have the money for supplies, sometimes even to make copies," she said. "A new teacher, I don't know how they can afford what they have to buy. Thank goodness for the dollar store."
Shirley Eden, who retired after working 30 years as a kindergarten teacher at Bladensburg, said she can tell how much Sobel still enjoys her work.
"She's always anxious about going back," Eden said. "She just never tires of it. . . . The kids just love her. I can't remember a kid that didn't learn under her."
Laurel Gombatz, who retired in 2000 after working nine years as a reading specialist at Bladensburg, credits Sobel's success to her teaching style.
"She's very structured and organized," Gombatz said. "Mona starts planning for the next year at the end of the previous school year. She makes individual changes depending on the children she has, but by and large, she is ready to roll."
Sobel calls herself old-
"I'm strict, but I believe in rewarding good behavior," she said.
Olga Noriega's son, Marcos, was a student in Sobel's class seven years ago. Noriega said she appreciated Sobel's sternness. "Marcos had a lot of homework and he was not pleased at the beginning," Noriega said. Before long, she said, Marcos had picked up Sobel's knack for organization and would often correct her by countering, "That's not what Ms. Sobel said."
"He really listened to her, and he liked her," Noriega said.
On a recent day, Sobel called each student over to her desk to review their papers after a reading lesson.
"What bad thing happened to Benny?" she asked.
"He was going in the water," Monica said.
"And how was the water?" Sobel asked.
"It was cold," Monica answered.
"Very good, Monica," Sobel said. Monica beamed with pride as a smile flashed across her face. Sobel placed her hand on the girl's face and squeezed her cheeks before she went back to her desk.

Mark Baxter still isn't sure what to make of what he calls his recent misadventure near Damnation Creek - an afternoon jaunt that landed his girlfriend, Amy Regan, in ICU in Portland with a broken back and no feeling in her arms and legs.
"There was a bunch of stupid decisions all down the line," Baxter said last week of what was supposed to have been an afternoon hike. "I got lucky. I got damn lucky."
The two didn't bring a survival kit, and were wearing sweatpants and T-shirts. A friend has since reassured them that their clothing sounded appropriate for a two-hour hike along a popular trail.
"At first, the trail was great, so we continued," Baxter said. Eventually, however, "we needed to turn back; it was getting dark."
When they did, Regan and her dog, Luke, slipped and fell down an embankment.
"I heard her fall, cry out, then a crash, then nothing," Baxter said. "I called out, 'Amy! Can you answer me!' And I heard nothing andhellip; for minutes."
When he did hear something, he didn't think it was human. But it was, and it was Amy.
"I do not think I have ever in my life witnessed that much suffering and agony," he said. "It is a sound I hope never to hear again."
Baxter and his dog, Ezra, scrambled down the hill toher.
"She'd landed on her back, on the rocks at the bottom of an old creek bed," Baxter said. "And she kept saying, 'No! No! No!' over and over ... and told me she couldn't feel her legs."
Baxter struggled back up the incline and worked his way about a quarter-mile down the dark path until his cell phone finally got one bar. It took at least four 911 calls - and disconnects due to poor reception - before he was able to relay their situation to the Del Norte Search and Rescue Team.
No, he didn't think he could get back to his vehicle. No, he couldn't describe where he was.
They tried to ascertain his GPS coordinates, and Baxter's phone died.
A few hours later, he was getting cold. He had the dogs with him, but he'd left his sweatshirt with Regan.
And he couldn't tell if rescue crews were approaching through the thick trees and the dark night.
Baxter is blind.
Mark and Amy
The 44-year-old Brookings man met his girlfriend on Facebook - he the disillusioned musician and she looking for a new life away from the strip-mine town of Butte, Mont. She joined him here six months ago.
Amy has her own challenges, Baxter said, with psychiatric issues and a condition that leaves her in constant pain. Hence her service dog, a lanky German shepherd with steely copper eyes.
"But we instinctively knew we were real (emotionally) close," Baxter said. "She is the most loving, caring, intense person I know. She is the bravest person I've ever known."
Saturday, Baxter wasn't feeling so brave, he said. He periodically shouted out for the rescue team. He huddled with the dogs. He listened.
"I'd done all I could do," he said.
The hikers had thought they were still on Damnation Creek Trail so rescue workers were sent down the trail's 1,000-foot descent to the ocean, but found no one in the darkness. They turned around and climbed back up to where the trail is intersected by the Coastal Trail. One group then headed south and another north.
The team that went north eventually found Baxter, who heard someone calling his name.
In many ways, it was just the beginning of their travails. It took hours to get Regan backboarded and out of the woods. It was 3:30 a.m., about 12 hours since they'd set out on the hike.
As Baxter walked out with a Search and Rescue volunteer, they talked about the dogs, the school that had trained Ezra, dogs in general.
"I think he was mostly just trying to take my mind off what had just happened," Baxter said. "And as beat-up and tired as I was, I cannot imagine what it was like for Amy to be stretcher-borne out of there."
He got a ride home from a park ranger; Amy remains in intensive care at Oregon Health Sciences in Portland with a broken thoracic spine, three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Ezra is sore and tired; Luke is confused and sad.
"It's very possible Amy could recover from this," Baxter said. "It's too early to tell. They're just caring for her day to day. I don't know anything about her prognosis. And I have not yet stopped sending my gratitude to 'Dog' for walking with me, for saving our lives."
Deep in the dark
Numerous elements resulted in their survival that night.
"The reason we got through that was my martial arts skills, keeping a level head, and doing what you have to do," Baxter said. "It's been a theme of mine throughout my life."
"It is horrifying, and also amazing," said Dawn Nelson, a friend of the couple who lives in Nevada. "It's a testament to the power of love, the abilities of guide dogs, the service of others, and the ability to do what needs to be done, despite nearly insurmountable obstacles."
Baxter, born blind, has always refused to think that way.
"When it came to anything at all - from high school and passing an exam, from riding a bike to going camping - I had to blaze the trail," he said. "I had to tell everybody that, 'Yes, I can do this; don't put me in that box.'"
He sought out experiences, began "collecting skills," overcompensating to prove to sighted people that he had no weaknesses, no disabilities, that he was no different than them.
"If I had been sighted, I would have been immobilized," he said of the couple's ordeal last weekend. "How a species can evolve with a dominant sense that is useless 12 hours a day ... I just don't get it. My skills don't involve sight at all.
"Hearing," he said, "is a more beautiful and useful sense."
That comment, from a man who is also profoundly deaf.
He is a tactile human, feeling the world around him through his feet as he walks, through pressure changes in the air as surroundings change.
"Ask the land where to go," he said. "It's getting in nature, sitting with Earth. Am I getting too New-Agey here?"
He attributes that to Sensei Toda Yoshi, Baxter's martial arts instructor. With the attitude of 'just do it," the then-26-year-old learned the ancient Japanese tradition of Shaolin Kempo Karate.
There are a lot of fist, foot and body moves in karate, but there are also the soft skills of the warrior: focusing the heart, power and energy through the mindand into the body, Baxter explained.
"I credit him with helping me save Amy because without his teaching, I would not have been able to channel the panic in my heart, through my mind, into my body, into actions, that got us out," Baxter said. "Without what I know about balance, and the strength that I have through keeping up my exercises, I would not have had the physical ability to get out."
Other skills he learned through Tom Brown Jr.'s "tracker school," a nature and wilderness survival school based in New Jersey, where participants gain a "closer attachment to the Earth and the skills and philosophy to live in harmony and balance with creation."
"That's what helped me stay on the trail, stay safe, and be calm enough in the dark, in the night, in the woods, to use the skills I had to get us out," Baxter said.
Amy's aftermath
Even though Regan's out of the California woods, she isn't out of the medical woods.
The most recent report Baxter has on Amy is that she has a shattered thoracic vertebrae near her neck - surgeons put a permanent metal rod in her spine for stability - and while she cannot move her arms or legs, she can wiggle her hands and toes. She has five broken ribs and a ruptured lung.
"With rehab, we hope this will get a lot better," he said. "I constantly send my gratitude to the great spirit for the intervention I know I received, information from the land and my dogs and the night itself, which allowed me to stay oriented, sane, and on the path to rescuing her. This will all get better; it's the waiting for Amy to come back that's the hardest part for me.
"It's far from over," he added. "I frankly have no idea what comes next. I will not consider her rescued until she is back with me."

'Game of Thrones' beer: Brewery Ommegang creates brews inspired by HBO show in Cooperstown
Cooperstown finally will welcome Mike Piazza to the Hall of Fame, so baseball fans can celebrate the nearby Brewery Ommegang with a clear conscience and a full glass.
Ommegang produces Belgian-style brews. If you're devoted to "Game of Thrones," Ommegang has made several ales in a collaboration series that are suitably dramatic. They come with names such as Fire and Blood, Three-Eyed Raven, Take the Black Stout, Iron Throne and Valar Morghulis, which viewers will know may be translated as "all men must die."
Imbibers with an affection for dragons and Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen will be attracted by Fire and Blood, an amber red ale that takes in ancho chilies and rye. It's malty, with a shot of spice. Iron Throne is a pleasing blond ale with a citrus accent; Three-Eyed Raven, a dark saison ale; and Valar Morghulis, a dubbel ale, malty, a bit dry, with notes of caramel.
Ommegang's year-rounders are led by the ruby-brown Three Philosophers, a complex quadruple ale, finished with Liefmans Kriek, the Belgian cherry ale. It's loaded with dark fruit, and full-flavored with hints of brown sugar and raisins. Wine drinkers will enjoy this brew. Abbey Ale, a dubbel ale, has a burgundy hue and suggestions of caramel and ripe fruit. The Abbey Ale was patterned after the grand brews made by Trappist monks in Belgium.
Ommegang's ales sell on Long Island in the $10-to-$15 range for a 750-ml bottle. Superstar Beverage in Huntington Station is among the spots where some are available.
These brews age well. Just like Piazza's statistics.

112 candles for Europe's oldest man
Europe's oldest man, World War I veteran Henry Allingham, has marked his 112th birthday by attending a flypast of fighter aircraft from the Battle of Britain.
The Briton - who attributes his longevity to "cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women" - will attend a display of vintage Spitfires at a Royal Air Force base in Lincolnshire, eastern England.
Born in 1896, when Queen Victoria was on the British throne and the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Mr Allingham saw active service in the Battle of Jutland in World War I and was one of the first members of the RAF.
In civilian life, he worked for carmaker Ford.
Now resident in a care home for blind former military personnel, he said he was in robust health.
"I'm a lucky guy. I am looking forward to a wonderful day and to seeing the family. I just hope I don't let the side down. People ask me how I've done it, and I just say that I look forward to another tomorrow."
Eight of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their partners have travelled from their homes in the United States for the occasion.
Mr Allingham's wife of 51 years, Dorothy, died in 1970.
Close friend Dennis Goodwin, who founded an association for World War I veterans, paid tribute to Allingham's zest for life.
"He is simply an incredible man. Each year we think that maybe this will be his last but he just seems to carry on regardless," Mr Goodwin said.

text: I have served as a board member of the American Tinnitus Association, and currently help as a volunteer. I have always respected how the staff and directors of this organization realized that the old mission of being an information and support organization had been superceded by the advent of the internet, so the organization was retooled from the ground up to pursue the ultimate mission for a health-related organization -- to cure tinnitus. The ATA devised its "Roadmap to a Cure" to show the scientific pathway we intended to follow. It overhauled its website to focus on raising funds and other resources for tinnitus research. And the ATA did these things without losing the communication and compassion skills that have made this organization the lifeline for many people suffering from tinnitus. The ATA leverages its staff to fulfill many functions at the same time. Through skillful planning and preparation, volunteer efforts are channeled into the most productive avenues -- for example, the Advocacy department first was the prime mover to encourage research by the Dept. of Defense into tinnitus, and then allowed for volunteers such as myself to offer our services as unpaid consultants to the DoD on funding research proposals. Finally, the ATA is a good steward of donations -- they make a budget and stick to it, and never lose focus on the organization's mission in the process.

Chamber group pushes tax rate cuts for all brackets, not just top earners
The Idaho Chamber Alliance, an association of local chambers of commerce from across the state that's holding its annual meeting in Boise this week, is pushing for legislation to lower Idaho's income tax rates in a different way – by lowering not just the top rate of 7.4 percent, but also commensurately lowering taxes for those in every bracket. The chamber's proposal would gradually phase in the decrease over five years, dropping the top rate from 7.4 percent to 6.85 percent; because all earners, not just the highest ones, would benefit, the cost is greater. The plan calls for lowering all rates 0.105 percentage points each year for five years, at a cost of about $24 million a year.
John Watts, lobbyist for the alliance, said he's talked with House Speaker Scott Bedke about the proposal. But the bill's not yet been introduced; it's one of several pending proposals looking at ways to lower Idaho's tax rates in the interest of economic development. "I've certainly given him my blessing to go get it drafted, whether or not I carry it," Bedke said. He said the proposal is one of several in the mix to provide tax relief, including proposals to lower just the top rate; talks are ongoing. Bedke said, "A policy decision needs to be made there."
The bill includes a "trigger," delaying installments in the plan if state revenue drops that year. The statewide issues position statement from the chamber alliance for 2014 says, "The Idaho Chamber Alliance supports lower business and individual income tax rates to assist local area chambers of commerce, economic development organizations and the Idaho Department of Commerce in recruiting new business to Idaho and in supporting the retention and expansion of existing Idaho businesses. Lower income tax rates will position Idaho to be more competitive compared to surrounding states and stimulate a stronger economy."

The report mentions that we served alcohol, and before our Muslim friends worry about this, we immediately wrote our first comment on 17th evening, and it still shows as pending posting, which I can see, but not the public. Our response was, "Dear Drew, we appreciate your report, and as fellow Americans we need all the help and support we can get, to allow moderate Muslim voices to be heard. However, I would like to make a small correction, there were no alcohol or pork products served."
We appreciate the excitement of Mr. Drew Parker to find "Moderate Muslims" and say Eureka! Indeed we are Moderate Muslims, and an overwhelming majority of Muslims are moderates by nature and by faith. Meaning we want to get along with every one, and live our lives and let others live theirs, we are contributors to the peace, prosperity, safety and security of fellow Americans with all our heart mind and soul. America is our home, and enriching it is our dream and our efforts. When we are visiting other nations, the only thing we brag about is America and its freedom besides the achievements and contribution of our kids towards her well being. .

US Muslim group launched to reflect 'moderate' Islam
– American Muslim Institution seeks to change perceptions of Islam, Muslims by advocating a "more secular" Islam
WASHINGTON – A new American Muslim group said Thursday that it wants to change Americans' perceptions of Islam and Muslims by "proactively engaging" to reflect a "moderate version" of Islam.
Part of that moderate version was on display during the group's launch at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where the American Muslim Institution created a decidedly secular environment where some female members gave up their head coverings, and an open buffet complete with available alcoholic drinks.
The group of thinkers and activists will follow an unconventional path for Muslims as they reach out to American political leaders in advocating a "more secular" Islam to fight discrimination against the Muslims.
Executive Director Mike Ghouse, said the organization's efforts would be directed "towards justice and equality to attain peace for Americans with a firm grounding in commonly held values".
Ghouse would like to work with other groups in the U.S. to "make America a better and safer place for each", and he said he believes Islamic and American values are compatible and founded on common principles.
In order to find solutions to current and emerging problems that stems from misperceptions and misinformation about Islam and Muslims, organization president Islam Siddiqui said American Muslims need to speak up.
Muslims should tell U.S. decision makers, especially through the use of media, that the negative portrayal of Islam that is currently being put forward is not Islam, said Siddiqui.
Islamophobia and a false perception of Muslims and their faith has been a highly charged issue throughout the U.S. since the 9/11 terror attacks.
Earlier this week, 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested after a teacher said she mistook his homemade clock for a bomb.

Quentin Bryce, 2016
by Michael Zavros
oil on canvas (frame: 111.8 x 151.7 cm, support: 110.0 x 150.0 cm)
Quentin Bryce AD CVO (b. 1942), academic, lawyer and community and human rights advocate, was the first woman to be appointed governor-general of Australia. Born in Brisbane, she spent her early childhood in Ilfracombe in central western Queensland. She finished school in Brisbane before completing degrees in arts and law at the University of Queensland, where in 1968 she became the first female member of the law faculty. By the time she retired from teaching in 1983, she was increasingly involved in human rights and advocacy work. Over the next decade she was director of the Queensland Women's Information Service, director of Queensland's Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and the Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner. Having spent three years as chair of the National Childcare Accreditation Council, in 1997 she became principal and chief executive officer of the Women's College within the University of Sydney. Six years later she became governor of Queensland, continuing her work with women, families and young people while extending her influence across rural, regional, aged, indigenous, migrant, and disability sectors. In 2008 she was appointed Australia's 25th governor-general. Her term concluded in March 2014, after which she chaired Queensland's special taskforce on domestic and family violence.

Andrea Sutcliffe, the new adult social care chief inspector, plans to utilize hidden cameras as well as 'mystery shopper'-style exercises to uncover neglect and abuse in care homes across England next year.
However, she admitted that using such measures will mean striking a balance against the need for privacy and dignity in such settings. This proposal will be considered ahead of the launch of the new system next year.
She said: "This is a fresh start for how care homes, home care and other adult social care services are inspected and regulated across the country."
But she added: "We have to consider the privacy and dignity and how we can balance these."
Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb acknowledges "serious flaws" in the system. He said: "Confidence in the regulation regime has been shaken, but we have turned a corner. I welcome the chief inspector's new commitment to protecting people vulnerable to abuse and neglect."
Simon Wood is one member of the public who has a loved one in care homes. He installed his own CCTV cameras to ensure that this mother-in-law was taken care of properly. Talking to BBC, he said: "Mum getting sworn act, threatened, hit, medication being poured down the sink, not being given to Mum, it was quite upsetting and quite horrendous to see what she was going through."
"The final thing was when the two carers... dragged her out of a chair and threw her on the bed and threatened to smash her face in."

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Gaming' started by StealthSoul, Nov 2, 2007.
Just been playing the game, It's really good One of the best Wii games i've played! It's really fun.
how u been playing it?
but anyway i just preordered it from game today
OK crackhead.
lol :lol:
nah there are ways he could play it, through a modded wii or just playing it at an eb games,
" or just playing it at an eb games"
exactly.. There's plenty of demos going on a gaming stores
Geez people think they know everything
Those people =Assholes of the world
yep, you said it SantaClaws
demo has been out since before GH3. ive never been impressed with this game so i didnt play it but w/e. thats just my opinion. im probably the only wii owner with that opinion, guess im jsut special lol
Haven't got to play yet, but what from I have read/seen I think it will be great.
I am going out on a limb and saying I know it will be great.
1UP just gave it a 9.5 which beats Super Mario 64 which got a 9.0 and Super Mario Sunshine which got a 9.1.
u people who said i was an idiont for asking how he was playing it.
i know you americans, you think because america has the demos in all there shops. us in UK (he is from england incase you didnt notice) dont have EB games and i have not seen one demo of it anywhere in uk. i dunno maybe he did, but thats why i was asking.
so dont assume everywhere is the same as america because it isnt.
no offense i just get annoyed when SOME americans think america is the whole world
EB(Rogers and Tim Hortons as well) is Canadian, idiot. rrr: :lol: Who thought America is the world although N.A. takes up quite a chunk of it. :lol: YOU obviously think the UK is the world since you neglected the fact that "America" has demos and gets the game soon
He just asked a simple question. The next poster is the one who was annoying with his "ok crackhead" comment. The guy from the UK was just wondering how the thread starter played it.
To DavidUK, I'm sorry you guys don't have EB/Gamestop. I got to play the game this week and it is fantastic. I had to make myself leave the store becuase I could have sat there and played all afternoon. Save some money for this one guys.
I knew It'd be good
Official Nintendo magazine gave it a 97% which Zelda Twilight Princess got and the only bad point they gave it was
'it has to end eventually'
Yeah in UK we have Game and Gamestation mainly and Game usually has Guitar Hero II on =/
The reason I made the comment "ok crackhead" had nothing to do with EB Games or any other demo. Also, it had no "America is King" undertones.
I assumed that he was a cheater by chipping his Wii and illegally downloading the game on the internet. This assumption could easily be wrong but we don't know because the guy who started the thread has yet to reply how he is playing the game. Note: he does not live in Japan.
I was frusturated about the assumption I made, and yes, maybe even a little jealous.
For those who don't know and CBA to read the whole thread to get this, you can get the game through pirating or having it shipped from Japan (where it's already released). Also, according to you guys, you can play demos at EB. Didn't know that. ;P
All of you that have it before the 12th, I hate you and your body can rot in hell. ^.^

Thermoelectric Coolers for Avalanche Photodiodes
The telecommunications market often uses thermoelectric coolers (TECs) to temperature stabilize Avalanche Photodiodes (APD). APDs are always reverse biased at a high voltage and therefore subject to excessive noise created by thermal energy. TECs can cool the APD and significantly reduce thermal noise, thereby increasing the APDs signal-to-noise ratio and its ability to differentiate very weak incoming light pulses. As with all Telcordia components, APDs are expected to work nonstop in the field for a minimum of 20 years; the TEC must accommodate the laser's lifetime and durability both in design and build.

Here it is, another Saturday night, and I'm still going nuts over a subject for this post. There's so much to share, and I need to settle down. So here goes . . .
I'm sure it's no secret that I am fond of certain magazines. Not the digital 'zines. I *heart* the smell of ink on slick paper. I want more than stock photos. I want the real deal! And I get it with The Simple Things. I like the appeal of "taking time to live well." Don't you? So, living well is a good thing; we should do more of it; we need to take more frequent-longer vacations; we need to chart our day in cups of tea, or better yet, in water. Filtered tap. Not bottled. And, we need to write more postcards.
"Remember the Moment." Remember the moments you capture! Or not. I'm remembering mine even as I write this. Ah-h-h, Chicago! That's what postcards are for. (And beautiful photos for your own!) Right? The copy below the caption reads, "This month, in our campaign to savor holiday memories, we consider the trip snapshot that is the postcard." It is an "Amen" statement if ever there was one. And, the article opens with this, "There's always a moment on holiday when postcards must be considered. 'Can I be bothered to send any?' the internal monologue goes. "I'll have to find them, write them, buy stamps and post them. That's hours out of my holiday when I could be
on the beach at Beatrix's. And who cares if they receive one anyway?'
Ha. Ha. And, ha! Surely someone on staff eavesdropped and quoted me? My protestations were weak since I'd packed a documents pouch with everything I needed to send a "Hey!" I had everything but postcards. No problem. They're everywhere. Besides, who doesn't like mail? Who doesn't like being reminded that the sender thought of them when she was supposed to be thinking only of herself?
Here's a learning moment: The postcard has an interesting history. Postcards are as necessary as stationery. They do in a pinch, when time is short, and you won't go broke on postage. They're also perfect for journal jots of your perfect getaway. "Postcards first became popular in Britain in the 19th century." You do know that postcards are different from postal cards, right? And, the study and collecting of postcards is called deltiology. This is fromWikipedia: 'In the United States, a picture or blank card stock that held a message and (was) sent through the mail at letter rate first began when a card postmarked in December 1848 contained printed advertising on it. The first commercially produced card was created in 1861 by John P. Charlton of Philadelphia, who patented a postal card, selling the rights to Hymen Lipman, whose postcards, complete with a decorated border, were labeled "Lipman's postal card." These cards had no images. Read about it on wikipedia, then send a bunch! The article I've quoted from is in a British magazine, so . . .
Want to know who's "A Postcard Hero?" The answer is a click away. http://thephotographersgallery.org.uk/john-hinde-3
"Time spent writing and sending a postcard is always time well spent."
The Simple Things asked for postcards! Yea! They want to know about your vacation! Their address is:
Remember the Moment
The Simple Things
Future Publishing
2 Balcombe Street
London NW1 6NW
They will publish the best ones on their blog. Go! Buy the magazine, and read all the stuff I left out! But don't forget to tell them that Limner sent you! And write on!
Sincerely sincere,
Sincerely sincere,

Congratulations, you've just completed the workbook "Anonymous: Discovering the Somebody You Are to God," by Cindi Wood! You've now identified your new name and new identity in Christ…that's a reason to celebrate! We had a beautiful Scripture verse to remember this week: "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." Matthew 11:28-30 (Message)
Cindi Wood teaches, "Whatever your chapter of life at the moment, quiet yourself enough to hear God's holy rhythm. Keeping time with His tempo will help you maintain a steady and relaxed lifestyle." Keep in mind your rhythms of grace will look different than mine, Cindi's or your ministry leader. Together with Jesus you create your own strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. It might be through your worship, prayer, Bible study, devotional time or ministry- uniquely yours and identifiable through the Holy Spirit alone. Pay attention and see if you can identify it this week. As Christians, we'll see and hear our own rhythms of grace through a Christ-centered heart. Look for the simplicity of it.
This is an exciting week because we get new names! When I imagine the Lord's name for me on our first day of the week six study, the name "Lovely" came to mind. We discussed this in my local leaders group on the weekend and the name rooted in my heart. What does it mean to be called "Lovely?" I watched a "Lovely Womens Conference" two years ago and I'm reminded of how lovely we/I am to God. How about you, what name did you write down on page 180 in your workbook? Post a comment below and share the personal name you imagine God has for you.
I'm deeply grateful to the ministry leaders who've shared their hearts with you each week. Please take time to thank them when you see them online. They're dependable and committed women who desire to minister to others online. When they're unable to lead due to an emergency or sometimes a crashed wifi and Internet, they're scrambling behind the scene to find a replacement leader in their absence. These women love Jesus and they love you too!
Bible teacher Cindi Wood and her team have been praying for you these last six weeks. Please visit her Facebook page or Twitter page and become a follower. If you really want to make her day…take a photo of your Anonymous workbook and post it on her Facebook page for fun! 🙂

The Van Cortlandt House, the oldest house in The Bronx
Bronx Travel Blog› entry 860 of 1090 › view all entries
Fredrick van Cortlandt was the grandson of Oloff Van Cortlandt, an employee of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) who moved to New Amsterdam (New York). His uncle (Stephanus Van Cortlandt) was the first mayor of New York City, and his father (Jacobus Van Cortlandt) became a mayor too.
The same Jacobus purchased a lot of land in what is now The Bronx for his wheat plantations. Frederick decided in 1748 to build a manor on these lands. The house, in Georgian style, was constructed out of native field stone. Frederick died before the house was completed and it passed to his son James van Cortlandt. During the Revolutionary War the house hosted staff from both the American army (General George Washington) as well as the British army (General Sir William Howe).
Van Cortlandt house is still there. In fact it is now the oldest house in the borough of The Bronx. It can be visited. The rooms are decorated, some of the furniture was originally owned by the Van Cortland family. The link to their Dutch descent was clearly visible: maps of Amsterdam, old Dutch clocks, Delft Blue tiles, etc.
I had been to the Van Cortlandt Park (see here) and had seen the house from the outside. Today it was time to go inside! A kind en enthusiastic lady welcomed us. The tour was self guided but the lady answered all the questions we had. When I asked if the building had a cellar she not only confirmed that but kindly offered me to visit it.
Van Cortlandt House is also a movie location. It served, as an Irish Mansion, in two episodes of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.

Assistant federal Treasurer Chris Bowen says the government is talking to senators to ease the passage of its controversial FuelWatch scheme.
FuelWatch legislation, a scheme that allows motorists to gauge the cheapest petrol prices in an area on any day, is currently under the microscope in the Senate.
"Negotiating any piece of legislation through the Senate is always a challenge," Mr Bowen told Network 10.
"I have had discussions with some of the cross bench senators, they'll continue and we will continue to argue vigorously for FuelWatch."
He likened the scheme to the government putting out a tender when it wants to buy something expensive.
"This is really giving motorists the chance to call for a tender for their petrol, and really the conservatives in the Senate should get out of the way and let motorists have that opportunity," he said.
Mr Bowen says there is support for the scheme from big motoring organisations.
"The biggest motoring organisation in the country, the NRMA, supports it and motoring organisations that have lived with FuelWatch in Western Australia for eight years - which was sceptical when it first came in, and is now one of its strongest supporters - the RACWA argues for FuelWatch."
