Surprising poise
Although the Odyssey is much more closely related to the Pilot SUV, it really handles a lot like a V-6 Accord. We don't know how they do it, but the engineers manage to set this minivan corner with remarkable poise. The suspension, isolated with separate front and rear subframes, really works, omitting the sorts of queasy secondary motions that plague most of the SUV field, along with some minivans, while quelling road shocks. Part of the success could be weight control—Honda managed to actually cut about a hundred pounds from the loaded Odyssey Touring (or 50 pounds off the base model) versus 2010.
Steering remains excellent. The Odyssey has a variable-displacement power-steering pump that works splendidly, providing more power assist at parking speeds and less at higher speeds, with more effort and even a little feedback in tight twisties. Our only complaint was that Honda made it a little lighter above parking-lot speeds this time around.
We noticed very little difference in cornering feel between an EX test vehicle and a top-of-the-line Touring Elite, though the slightly harder-compound, taller sidewall tires that came with the EX were far more vocal. On a twisty road, we were left wishing for more lateral support from the front seats, along with more mid-back support.
A quiet living room on wheels
Active noise cancellation and active engine mounts, two of Honda's trump-card technologies that only made it to top trims of past Odysseys with cylinder deactivation, is standard equipment in all trims of this version. These systems help quell any of that powertrain roughness, as well as some road noise, electronically in conjunction with traditional noise abatement to keep the cabin quiet. And it's luxury-car quiet inside.
Although the basic footprint hasn't changed, the new Odyssey is a little bit wider and lower than the model it replaces, making it very slightly roomier inside. It's still a huge van inside—really, a living room on wheels.
And it's absolutely loaded with thoughtful touches. Three rows of seating are now even better for six adults, thanks to a new second-row configuration that allows the outboard seats to actually tilt and slide outward—changing the width of the second row depending on whether there are two adults, three, or a combination of child seats there (there are now five sets of LATCH connectors, for child seats). The third row gains an inch of legroom and in some trims an armrest, while its folding mechanism gets even better. Now, with a hand-held strap, you can fold either section of the seat into the floor with a single motion. Honda didn't bother with a power-folding third row arrangement, as all the ones that it tried took longer to deploy and were unnecessarily complicated. Honda's system is simple, elegant, and easy enough to do even with an arm of groceries. The spare tire has been relocated from beside the third row to under the floor in the middle space between the first and second rows. This not only helps keep a lower center of mass but also allows a wider third-row bench.
The second row is still a little more confining, for headroom particularly. While this 6'-6" editor fit well enough to be good for quick trips in the third row, I would have been happy all day in the second row.

This blog entry is an interview with McKay Allen, Inbound Marketing Manager at LogMyCalls. McKay is a noted marketing expert and has spoken at SMX, SES, Social Media Strategies Summit and other events across North America.
What is call tracking?
SMBs, agencies, and enterprise-level companies use call tracking to determine which ads, keywords, and campaigns generate phone calls and which don't. In other words, call tracking can tell you how many calls are coming in as a result of organic search traffic, specific PPC ads, direct mail campaign, or any other marketing activity.
This is incredibly valuable information. I have no idea how a local business would make wise marketing decisions if they didn't use call tracking.
There are about a half dozen serious call tracking companies. LogMyCalls is one of them. Each of these companies has strengths and weaknesses and, contrary to what a salesperson at any one of these companies (including ours) might have told you, up until a couple of weeks ago there really weren't that many differences between these companies. Call tracking is call tracking is call tracking.
So who should use call tracking?
Honestly, any business that receives phone calls should know what marketing efforts produced those phone calls. It is especially critical for local businesses.
What is "Conversation Analytics"?
Well, call tracking analyzes what happens before the phone rings – it tells you which marketing channel generated phone calls.
But it isn't enough. There's a lot that happens after the phone rings….like, really important things.
Gartner says there are 420 billion words spoken on business phone calls every day. That's a lot of data that isn't being analyzed.
So, that's why we launched Conversation Analytics, to analyze that data. It is the most substantial development in call tracking in 15 years.
Traditional call tracking, as we said above, analyzes what happens before the phone rings. Conversation Analytics analyzes what happens ON the call.
Conversation Analytics actually 'hears' the call, using sophisticated speech recognition technology. That content is then run through hundreds of simultaneously-running algorithms. These algorithms are looking for specific phrases, words, intonations, speech rate and context. Conversation Analytics can extract data like lead score, sales readiness, missed opportunities and dozens of other things.
For example, if the caller said 'I need auto insurance this week,' that would be a good indicator of a high quality lead. Conversation Analytics would 'hear' those words and produce a high lead score for that caller.
Give us a few examples of how it works.
Well, here are a couple specific ways you can make more money with Conversation Analytics.
1. Missed Opportunities. Based on the words said on the call, Conversation Analytics can determine when there was a Missed Opportunity on the call. In other words, the lead was ready to buy, but didn't. Every time Conversation Analytics determines that there was a Missed Opportunity, you could receive a text message alerting you. Or, an alert could be sent to your CRM that mandates that the lead receive an immediate call back.
2. Lead Scoring. When Conversation Analytics determines that a caller was a really high quality lead—again based on the words the caller said during the call—an alert could be sent to your email marketing platform that would automatically move that lead into a different email campaign that is lower in the funnel. Or, it could even put in them in a CRM call list to receive a future phone call.
And Conversation Analytics can track things like agitation, customer sentiment, competitor mentions, if there was an appointment set, if there was a request for more information, agent empathy, agent politeness, whether or not the caller is an existing customer, and a host of other things.
Long story short: we can extract data out of every call you receive every day.

Even more important than the number of calls that a campaign generates is the quality of calls that a campaign generates. Using conversation analytics you might find that a specific marketing program is generating the wrong kinds of leads. This information is valuable as you modify your marketing approach.(reply)

Great point Jason! Lead quantity AND quality need to be measured across all marketing channels.(reply)

Strategic Manipulation of Internet Opinion Forums: Implications for Consumers and Firms
There is growing evidence that consumers are influenced by Internet-based opinion forums before making a variety of purchase decisions. Firms whose products are being discussed in such forums are therefore tempted to manipulate consumer perceptions by posting costly anonymous messages that praise their products. This paper offers a theoretical analysis of the impact of such behavior on firm profits and consumer surplus. There are three main results. First, if every firm's manipulation strategy is a monotonically increasing (decreasing) function of that firm's true quality, strategic manipulation of online forums increases (decreases) the information value of a forum to consumers. This result implies the existence of settings where online forum manipulation benefits consumers. Second, equilibria where strategies are monotonically increasing (decreasing) functions of a firm's true quality exist in settings where the firm's net payoff function, inclusive of the cost of manipulation, is supermodular (submodular) in the firm's quality and manipulation action. Third, in a broad class of settings, if the precision of honest consumer opinions that firms manipulate is sufficiently high, firms of all types, as well as society, would be strictly better off if manipulation of online forums was not possible. Nonetheless, firms are locked into a "rat race" and forced to spend resources on such profit-reducing activities; if they don't, consumer perceptions will be biased against them. The social cost of online manipulation can be reduced by developing "filtering" technologies that make it costlier for firms to manipulate. Interestingly, as the amount of user-contributed online content increases, it is firms, and not consumers, that have most to gain from the development of such technologies.

2002 Mercedes E 320 w/Elegance Package
By Pete on
Vehicle2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E320 Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewMy first ever Mercedes. I am more than pleased with the car. I would caution buyers who are looking at buying a higher mileage car to take the car in for a transmission oil and filter change. Mercedes says it isn't needed, but mine did. Be sure to only use Mercedes-Benz transmission fluid. Older Mercedes cars are good cars for do-it-yourselfers who are willing to do the research to learn how to work on them. Internet makes this easy. Dealership service is expensive, but seldom needed. This is the best engineered car I've ever driven or owned. The fit and finish is perfect. I was astonished that such an aparently heavy car gets such good gas mileage (22 city / 29 hwy).
Best FeaturesMemory seats, rear deck power sun shade, auto-dimming mirrors, Bose sound system, smooth ride, solid as a rock body, elegance and status and resale value. Timeless styling and lasting luxury.
Worst FeaturesLater models moved the power window switches to the door instead of the console. Console location was awkward. Lighted mirror on sun visor is made from cheap grade of plastic compared to the rest of the interior. Built in phone is useless once the technology becomes outdated.

Manufractur Trailer (1985)
01 January 1985 3 mins
A tangled network woven with tiny particles of movements broken out of found footage and compiled anew: the elements of the "to the left, to the right, back and forth" grammar of narrative space, discharged from all semantic burden. What remains is a self-sufficient swarm of splinters, fleeting vectors of lost direction, furrowed with the traces of the manual process of production.

text: If i don't have love . then i got nothin' . I was meditating on the previous study and this passage came to mind . So i could do all the things the gospel says to do . and exhibit all sorts of mad spiritual giftings .. but without Love . i'm missing the point . Paul calls love the most excellent way . so there is being a disciple . but then .. love is an even more excellent way . I dunno about you . but this sounds like the whole point of God's message right here . This is what was so awesome about what Jesus did on the cross . because this is how we know what the Love of God is . while we were still his enemies .. Jesus died for us . The love of man gets no better than giving up your life for your friends . But Jesus showed how God's kind of love is not shallow . and is not a fluffy word . though He does have wings .. or so the psalmist says .. tee hee . but love . is a word filled with holy intent . and dedication and commitment to something far greater than a set of ideals . Love is so much more . All stuff spoken and written down will become obsolete . words are so limited . we wander around like children . thinking we know the point of it all with all our theology . and all our prophecies . but even the apostle said .. we are even imperfect now . we see a poor reflection of His glory now . but in that day when we see Him face to face .. He who is perfect . then we will become as Him because we will see Him and He will change us from the inside out . even more so than He does now the transformation will be complete . He will wipe every tear from our eyes . and we will grow up with no one to separate our attention from our loving Heavenly Father . So . all that "stuff" that we can qualify with our carnal senses . will not be around . so focus on what will be there . trust . expectancy . and the giving giving love . so since all that we will recognize there will be what good relationships are made of . as God is to you . be to others . and so bring a little bit of eternity's light to the here and now .

Ottawa, December 19, 2016—Following a six-point increase last month, The Conference Board of Canada's Index of Consumer Confidence rose 1.1 points in December to 103.8.
"Despite the underwhelming pace of full-time job creation seen of late, Canadians appear to be holding out hope for greater opportunities in the new year and this bodes well for spending entering the holiday season," said Matthew Stewart, Associate Director, The Conference Board of Canada.
Relative to November, Canadians—especially those in Alberta—were more optimistic about future employment prospects. Some survey respondents also reported an improvement in their finances over the last six months, and many expected better financial conditions in the next six months. However, the share of consumers who felt that now was a good time to make major purchase declined for the fourth time in five months in December, suggesting that Canadians remain apprehensive about buying homes and cars amidst the precarious job creation and weak economic growth seen in 2016.
Alberta's index rose 5.8 points to 66.1, its highest level since May 2015. Recent positive developments in the energy sector may have provided a boost for consumer confidence in the province. Albertans appeared to feel better about overall economic conditions, as survey respondents were more optimistic about future employment opportunities and the prospect of making a major purchase in December. Still, the province's index sits nearly 35 points below its 2014 average.
Energy industry developments appeared to be on the minds of consumers in Saskatchewan as well, which drove a 2.9-point increase in the Saskatchewan–Manitoba index.
Consumer sentiment also improved in Canada's two largest provinces. A solid increase in full-time positions in Ontario last month was met with greater optimism about future employment prospects and many Ontarians also indicated that their household finances had improved over the last six months. The index in Quebec also increased, which was largely due to more Quebecers indicating now was a good time to buy a big-ticket item. In fact, the balance of opinion on this question has been trending upward since the beginning of the year.
In contrast, apprehension about making a major purchase weighed on the minds of consumers in British Columbia, where the index fell 7.3 points in December to 123.2. B.C. shed a significant number of full-time jobs last month, which probably led to more survey respondents reporting worsening household financial conditions in December.
Meanwhile, consumer sentiment fell precipitously in the Atlantic provinces, with the balance of opinion deteriorating on all four survey questions.
The survey was conducted between November 28 and December 8, 2016.

Jemele Hill is more than just Skip Bayless' competition on ESPN's "First Take." The Detroit native realizes that debating sports with the surly Bayless is just part of her day-to-day duties as an ESPN.com columnist.
"That's not a job," Hill tells SportsNewser. "Debating Skip is not my job. It's what I do, but my job is to be a journalist."
Hill has been a standout at her job as a journalist since starting her professional career at the Raleigh News & Observer in 1997. After stops at the Detroit Free Press and Orlando Sentinel, Hill joined ESPN in 2006.
SportsNewser.com spoke to Hill on the phone about her experience covering the World Cup in South Africa and the challenges she's come across as a black woman in the journalism industry.
SportsNewser: Where does covering the World Cup in South Africa rank on your all-time list of favorite sporting events?
Jemele Hill: I would have to say that would be in the top three. It's kind of hard to pick one but it would definitely be in consideration I guess. It was a fantastic experience. It was a beautiful country and a wonderful sporting event. It is almost hard for me to put in words because I have never been to Africa before. That was the first time I covered soccer on that scale. I just felt so many emotional connections in going to South Africa, a place that I think the last real recognition most of us had of it, myself as well, was apartheid. To see how the country had grown in those few years since it had been on the worldwide stage was very moving. It was definitely a benchmark for my career.
Did you do a lot of prep work before hand to brush up on your soccer knowledge?
I did a lot. I paid attention to soccer on a very surface level up until that point. I was aware of the headlines, who the players were. I knew the game because I covered it kind of extensively when I was at the News & Observer in Raleigh, but it was primarily women's soccer. I brushed up on general things, especially with the American team. I made myself more familiar with the lesser-known players at least here in the States. In fairness, ESPN didn't bring me there for my soccer knowledge. They brought me to do sports-cultural stories about how the World Cup was not only impacting the citizens in the country but those in the world watching from afar.
What challenges or obstacles have you faced in your career due to either your gender or race?
Coming from Detroit, which is a majority black city, I think that like a lot of people, as I grew, my own sort of way at looking at things racially had to change first before anyone else's did. I went to Michigan State, which is a predominately white school, and that was my first real exposure to different races and cultures. It taught me a lot. Once my own transformation began, I was able to have a better sense of racial and even sexual politics. I never felt held back in any way. I always did feel there were unspoken things I had to prove just because I was a black woman in sports. There are hardly any black women who do what I do. In my personal interactions, I never felt belittled or my race was held against me at any place I have ever worked.
Do you feel the gender gap is closing between men and women journalists?
Absolutely. Even the women who came before me, they tell me stories all the time just how different it was for them. They were use to situations where they were literally the only woman in that locker room or press box. I don't think it's that way anymore. Certainly you have certain sports that are male dominated. You do see women have a presence in most of the major markets. Will it ever catch men? I don't know about that.
How does television compare to print?
It's a lot more nerve-wracking, that's for sure. I use to be one of those journalists who thought that TV is easy. We use to make fun of TV journalists and anchors all the time. And then, I had to get in front of the camera and read on the teleprompter and I understood this was no joke. What I'm use to being able to expound on and rely in 1,000 words; I have to say in 30-45 seconds. A minute if I'm lucky. If you told me 10 years ago that I would enjoy it as much as I do, I would have told you that you were out of your mind. It was something that I looked down on. Now I love it.
You're an avid tweeter. What other sports journalists would join you on the Mt. Rushmore of Twitter?
Buzz Bissinger. He's one of the most entertaining follows on there. He's angry. He's thoughtful. He's amazing. When that guy goes off, it's straight ether. Bill Simmons. Clearly, he's one of the most entertaining sports columnists in America, if not number one. That same sense of humor he has in his columns comes through on Twitter. And I would put Gregg Doyel on there from CBS Sports. That guy is just so funny. I know him in real life, not just on Twitter, so maybe I'm slightly biased.
Career-wise, where do you see yourself in 10 years?
This will sound so horribly lame but I think it's better to set conceptual goals than physical, actual goals. They can change and sometimes you could be doing something entirely different but it will give you the same fulfillment conceptually that you really wanted. Conceptually, I just want to be challenged. That's it. I want to feel like I'm waking up every day doing something that I love, but also feel like I'm growing in the process. If I'm doing that in 10 years, whether I'm at ESPN or slinging fries.
What advice would you give an up and coming female sports journalist trying to make it in the industry?
Read. Please read. Read books. I still have a library card. I love my library card. It's the best investment any journalist can have. I think when you read other people's work, especially not in you field, you tend to have a real respect for language, probes and verbiage. You have to be in love with words. Also, know the basics. People see what I do and they just want to be on TV. I have to say that it really disappoints me when people say they want to debate Skip [Bayless]. That's not a job. Debating Skip is not my job. It's what I do, but my job is to be a journalist.

Blogging with org2blog
It's been a while since I've blogged! I'm hoping to blog more this year than I did last year. One improvement I'm making to my blog process is org2blog mode. I spend a lot of my day in Emacs and so it's pretty typical that I write notes and at least a portion of blog posts in Emacs, often all of it. org-mode for Emacs is easy to use library for marking up plain text. I had been using it to write blog posts for sometime, however I would typically export from org-mode to HTML, then paste it into WordPress's editor. This was time consuming (though still easier than writing the whole entry in the WordPress editor). As a result, fewer blog posts made the transition from org-mode to WordPress. This process is now very stream-lined thanks to org2blog.
Setting up org2blog
The first snag I hit setting up org2blog was an outdated version of org-mode. Although the project page doesn't specify a version (just saying the latest) I found that it needs definitely newer than version 6.34. If you're using the version shipped with emacs, you will probably need to upgrade (23.1 which is what I'm using came with 6.21). When I tried to use org2blog to post a new draft of this blog post with that old version of org-mode, I received an error that it could execute the org-find-exact-headline-in-buffer function. It looks like that function didn't exist in the older copies of org-mode. I pulled from the org-mode git repo and followed these instructions to set up the new version.
To push up new blog entries to WordPress, org2blog uses the elisp xml-rpc library. This is easy to install if you have ELPA (if you don't have ELPA, follow these instructions). With the proper version of org and xml-rpc, org2blog is ready to be installed. I pulled down the org2blog source code (from git://github.com/punchagan/org2blog.git) and added the below elisp to my Emacs startup:
(setq load-path (cons "~/path/to/org2blog/" load-path)) (require 'org2blog) (setq org2blog/wp-blog-alist '(("blog-name" :url "http://blog.address.com" :username "Blog User Name" :default-title "" :default-categories ("Some Category") :tags-as-categories nil)))
You can eval the above code or restart Emacs. To make sure it's working you can try
M-x org2blog/wp-login to see if it can connect to your blog.
Using org2blog
org2blog mode has several interactive functions for blogging. To create a new entry use
M-x org2blog/wp-new-entry. This creates a new (unsaved) buffer that has org-mode markup already in it to indicate category, blog title, date, etc. After adding content and setting a title etc, running
M-x org2blog/wp-post-buffer will upload the contents of the buffer as a new draft (not yet publishing it), to the blog you specify. The blog matches blog-name that you configured in your org2blog setup. After transporting the blog post, it then asks you if you'd like to open the draft in a browser. I like this feature a lot, it makes it easy for me to verify that the markup converts properly (until I get more confidence in it) and assures me that it's still in draft mode (making sure an entry doesn't get published prematurely).
Something I found unexpected is that when it creates the post, your local copy is still live. When creating the entry it fputs identifier information in the heading along with the title. So you can post a draft, make a few changes and post that same draft again, and it will update that existing entry (not create a new entry).
Below are some useful functions that can be invoked via
M-x (or bound to a key)
|Creates a new blank blog entry with the headers added
|Posts the buffer as a draft to the WordPress instance
|Opens a tab in a browser to preview the blog post
|Publishes a draft
Moving On
Yesterday I accepted a position at Revelytix. I'll be starting in March. They're a tech company that is working on Sematic Web technologies. I'm looking forward to the cutting edge technologies and digging into the Semantic web. I'll be working with Alex Miller and a few others as we start on development of a new product. Expect some posts on the Semantic Web, Clojure and Scala!
Back on the Air
I've not had a post for quite a while now. Graduate school picked back up in August and things ramped up at work pushing to make a deadline. These things didn't leave much time for writing! I graduated in December and things have calmed down a bit at work so I'm looking forward to doing some more writing. More to come in 2010!

Time Travelling Celebrities
Do they Born again?
Can you believe it! They are from the different centuries . yet they managed to look a like.Many of us may not agree with time travelling or reincornation. Even we tend to avoid them who discuss about these issues. At some point of time we do manage to think beyond the regular life and lost into extra terrestrial thoughts. For those of you who believe or donot believe we got something for you. All you got to do is to have a look on the pictures and read on.
Keenu Reeves
If you think keenu reeves can limit himself to one century. No ! The matrix actors has managed to survive to entertain us. Who is he? His original name is Paul Mournet who born in 1847. Though he is recorded as dead in 1922 his body was gone missing. So it looks like keenu manages through the hard times to prove himself in hollywood. Well this is an intersting fact. Yet they are not same. But look at them ..they look same.
John Travolta
Looks like John Travolta don't like to do a face-off .Because he has managed to find person from the past who look a like.the first picture belongs to a person who was 22 years in 1890. But Travolta is now 62 years old. So its clear that they might look same..but they are not same.
Nicolas Cage
They cant stop fighting in face off. Who? Iam telling about the faces of stars Nicolas cage and john travolta. Its seems like they had a face off in 18th century too. As you already know about the travolta of 1890. Here we have picture of a person who was photographed in 1870. Hard to believe, but they look a like.
Sylverster Stallone or Rocky Belboa, you can call him with any name of his movies. But you might call him as Pope when you see him in the picture. The picture is of Pope Gregory IX.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt had a fight club because he has some similarities with Union General Isaac Stevens.
Jay-Z was there in Brookly in 1939.Yes you can Rap on it.
Bruce Wills
We love the fighter in Bruce Wills in his movies. It is sure that anyone who has a face of him loves to do the same. For Example look at the picture Doug MacArthur of World War II period. He was a General. Which is not General in any days. So They love to combat.
Eddie Murphy
The nutty Professor Eddie Murphy is throwing a boomerang with time. How Watch The image of a person who is similar to this star actor. Well the unknown man belongs to early of 1920s.
Michael Jackson
Two Words. We miss Michael Jackson. This image is similar to the great man.
Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage has his own history in the hollywood . So as his face and personality too. Have a look at the painting of Don Sebastian de Morra who belongs to 1645th year.

problems with displacementLaplacian motion solver
i have problems solving the meshmotion with the displacementLaplacian solver combined with the movingMeshVelocity boundary condition for U.
I seems that the fluid sovler (i use the pimpleDyMFoam) is doing something wrong when it solves the pressure.
The velocity seems ok.
Are there special instructions for using this combination of motion solver and BC?
thanks a lot
Hi again,
it seems that the problem comes from the diffusion term of the Navies-Stokes equations...
could there be a problem?

According to Avraham Negousi, Director of the Ethiopian immigrant organization, South Wing to Zion, the Sigd celebration helped the Jewish community in the faraway exile of Ethiopia maintain their yearning to return to Zion.
Click here to listen to the interview with Avraham Negousi
The source of the holiday is in the book of Nehemiah when the exiled Jews prayed" toward Jerusalem. The Ethiopian Jews prayed together 'Next year in Jerusalem'. The holiday was about connecting to the receiving of the Torah and the promise that one day we will reach Jerusalem," recalled Negousi.
In Ethiopia, Jews, while still fasting, set out during the morning hours of the day on a march to the peak of a nearby mountaintop, led by their spiritual leaders, Kessim, and carrying the traditional torah scrolls. Continued prayer and worship accompanied the ascent to the mountaintop where selected readings from the Torah were read in the language of Gaaz and then translated into the vernacular Amharit. In the afternoon the participants would descend to local villages where the fast was broken with joyous meals amidst festive dancing celebrations.
Last week's Sigd festivities were held in Jerusalem, where thousands of Israeli Ethiopian Jews gathered from across the country at the Armon Hanatziv promenade overlooking the Temple Mount. In attendance at the event were government representatives, Ethiopian community leaders and Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger, who commended the Ethiopian Jews' dedication to upholding their traditions. "It is amazing that after the long journey you made from Ethiopia to Jerusalem, you did not leave behind this glorious tradition," said Immigrant Absorption Minister Tzipi Livni.
Although the nature of the celebrations has changed since their arrival in Israel, Ethiopian leaders continue to maintain the importance of the Sigd holiday. "Once we came here we decided to continue this holiday on top of East Talpiot, toward the western wall, praying and thanking G-d for fulfilling his promise, for realizing our dream and giving us the opportunity to be in Jerusalem and also to pray for those left behind in Ethiopia to come and join us," Negousi stated.
Our dream is to be in the state of Israel and Jerusalem. Today more than 100,000 "Ethiopian Jews are proud citizens of Israel, however the Aliyah of Ethiopian Jewry is not completed. There are still 20,000 Jews in Ethiopia waiting to come to Israel to rejoin their brothers, parents and families," Negousi said, adding, "The government has decided to bring them to Israel by the end of 2007, but there is a government quota of only 300 a month. An agreement has been made to double the number to 600, but sadly this has not yet been implemented."
Negousi denied claims that many of those awaiting immigration to Israel are not halachically Jewish. "Rav Shlomo Amar visited in Ethiopia and declared that they are Jews without a doubt and they must be brought to Israel. Every Jewish community has passed through a different historical process. The Ethiopian Jewish community also went through difficulties including persecution and drought," Negousi explained.
Ethiopian leaders, including Negousi, remain optimistic about the future of their people among their Israeli peers. "Most of my community comes from remote areas so it is not easy for them to integrate into modern society and urbanization, but our community is doing well, we are going in the right direction," stated Negousi.
For Negousi the contemporary Sigd festivities resonate with deep spiritual meaning and offer an opportunity to express his appreciation that the dream of his people of returning to Zion has been realized. "Our fathers and grandfathers told us that we will go to Jerusalem. As a child I remember being told that the Prophets say that all the Jews will be returned to the Land of Israel. We love Israel and we love Jerusalem. Once a year thousands come to Jerusalem to say thank you," said Negousi.

Kitchen Countertop Accessories – Selecting the appropriate countertop for your kitchen is very vital to make sure longevity and durability. It is consequently, crucial to pick the right materials according to what look you want to impart your kitchen and based on utility.
I had my granite countertop from Woodbridge Kitchen since I preferred a modern day look and ultra challenging material and it is confident to final me a lifetime if I use it properly.
Here are some other components you can choose from to understand your kitchen countertop vision.
Granite Countertops
My private preferred, stunning granite countertops provide a actually elite look to your kitchen. This igneous rock offers organic mosaic patterns in darker hues, is heat resistant and straightforward to clean. If you have an ample budget, granite is the selection to go for. But it is really pricey also. So if your spending budget offers for it, go for it.
Laminate Countertops
Laminate countertops consist of a difficult particle board core bounded on leading with layers of plastic laminate. Even even though it does not offer the benefits of heat and scratch resistance as quartz and granite, it is durable, easy to clean, obtainable in a rich palette of colors and gives the appear of far more pricey granite and quartz countertops at a pretty less cost.
Quartz Countertops
A sedimentary rock item, quartz has in its habit to withstand higher levels of temperature and stress for years on finish. So if you want to invest heavily as soon as, invest in this stunning and sturdy countertop. Quartz is obtainable in numerous colors from bright to black with a spectrum in among of creams, browns and grays. It is not so heat resistant as granite but does a fair job anyway. Some dos and donts regarding quartz use is pointed out in the manuals offered with Woodbridge Kitchen countertops so that you can hold your quartz countertops beautiful for long.
Marble Countertops
Richly veined marble countertops are obtainable in a wide range of colors and can enhance the beauty of your kitchen in manifold methods. Marble is a metamorphic rock produced of dolomite and it is extensively utilized for kitchen countertops owing to its exceptional heat resistant properties and beautiful mosaic patterns.
But there are some restrictions to it.
It is not so scratch resistant as granite and has to be sealed when a year for generating it scratch resistant. Also, one has to steer clear of spilling of acidic juices such as tomato juice on to surface as it reacts readily with acids. Also, these are not crack proof and quite costly. But all in all a excellent choice if utilized safely and properly to give your kitchen a lengthy lasting beauty.
These are just a handful of selections from Woodbridge Kitchen's rich collection. We'll discuss the tile countertops, wooden countertops and more in our subsequent segment. Watch this space for much more.

This from Channel 4 News about the collapse of a huge "sham marriage" criminal trial:
But, when immigration officers were questioned in the witness box, it emerged that evidence had been tampered with or concealed, possibly destroyed, video footage had gone missing, and an investigation log had been doctored.
His Honour Judge Nic Madge brought the trial to halt a yesterday, saying "I am satisfied that officers at the heart of this prosecution have deliberately concealed important evidence and lied on oath.
This is the second major case revealing a course of dishonest conduct by immigration officials. The last one was that of Radha Patel, an innocent visitor to the United Kingdom who was awarded £125,000 damages for her treatment. The "evidence" from immigration officials is routinely accepted at face value by judges in the immigration tribunal. Any suggestion by an appellant or their lawyer that it might not be true is met by shock and disbelief reminiscent of Lord Denning's blind faith in the police who "investigated" the Birmingham Six:
If they won, it would mean that the police were guilty of perjury; that they were guilty of violence and threats; that the confessions were involuntary and improperly admitted in evidence; and that the convictions were erroneous. … That was such an appalling vista that every sensible person would say, "It cannot be right that these actions should go any further."
In a bail application the other day for BID, I pointed out that Home Office assertions in a bail summary were totally without evidential foundation or documentary proof. The judge preferred to consider them as "admissible hearsay". Judges should adjudicate equally between the parties and require real evidence where an assertion is contested. If the Home Office is institutionally incapable of producing evidence or witnesses, so be it.

PhotoEast Festival 2016
PhotoEast is a not-for-profit organisation which believes in the power of photography to bring positive change for individuals, communities and the places in which they live.
Our vision is to establish Suffolk's reputation as a centre for excellence in photography by hosting world renowned photographers and their work and inspiring participation from across the arts, education, business and local community.
Core to our ambition is the PhotoEast photography Festival – a new UK showcase for contemporary photography and an opportunity for Suffolk to establish its own unique event. The inaugural 4-week event will take place from 24 May to 25 June 2016 in Ipswich and in other towns and communities linked by the East Suffolk railway line.
Under the theme 'Of Time and Place', exhibitions, talks, workshops, family and professional events will be held in venues, traditional and unexpected, inside and out, from shipping containers to disused buildings, in galleries, churches and along local bus routes. The Festival will inspire a new audience for contemporary photography and harness our love of sharing images – with an appeal for anyone who has a camera or a phone.
Located in Ipswich and Halesworth in 2016, PhotoEast plans to extend along the railway line as far as Lowestoft in subsequent years. It will become a recognised date on the region's cultural calendar and bring socio-economic benefits to the region.
The PhotoEast Festival 2016 is produced in collaboration with University Campus Suffolk (UCS) and is grateful to the following sponsors and supporters for their help in getting the inaugural festival off the ground:

Though happily married to his adoring wife Hélène, with whom he is expecting a second child, the thoroughly bourgeois business executive Frédéric cannot banish from his mind the multitude of attractive Parisian women who pass him by every day. His flirtations and fantasies remain harmless until Chloé (played by the mesmerizing Zouzou), an audacious, unencumbered old flame, shows up at his office, embodying the first genuine threat to Frédéric's marriage. The luminous final chapter to Rohmer's "Moral Tales" is a tender, sobering, and wholly adult affair that leads to perhaps the most overwhelmingly emotional moment in the entire series.

text: Hey guys, at the school where I work we have an older Mikasa plate compactor. Recently it has developed a problem where it vibrates like crazy but doesn't move forward at all. Has anyone experienced this before? Is it just a problem with the vibrator and can it be fixed fairly easily? Thanks!

University of North Carolina bans student travel to countries affected by Ebola
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said on Wednesday that students will now be prohibited from school-related travel to three West African countries due to concerns about the Ebola outbreak.
Faculty and staff will have to seek advance approval to travel to Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia for humanitarian or scientific reasons, the university said.
The school also is discouraging personal travel to that region.

Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover cleans what glass cleaners cannot. Over time, scale and water spots build up on the exterior glass of your automobile. Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover removes these deposits and restores clarity to your windshield and side glass. Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover also makes quick work of stubborn road film and oil. This deep cleaning formula works excellently when applied by hand or with a dual action machine polisher.
Water spots and road oils create an opaque film that greatly reduces your vision and greatly limits the ability of your wipers to clean your glass. Regular window cleaners work well on light grease, finger prints, and smoker's film but cannot touch the tough deposits that build up over time. Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover combines citrus-based mineral dissolving agents and micro-fine abrasives to lightly polish the glass to a perfectly clean, perfectly clear luster.
Can be applied by hand...
Or by machine for even faster results..
For best results, use with Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover on clean, cool glass in the shade. Apply a quarter-sized amount onto a foam or microfiber applicator. Work on a 1' x 1' section of glass at a time, using overlapping circular movements until the GlassWork Water Spot Remover turns clear. Immediately wipe off any excess residue using a clean microfiber towel. Continue cleaning glass, a section at a time, until all of the glass is completed. For severe water spots, apply with a dual-action polisher equipped with a foam polishing pad.
For protection against future road film and to maintain clarity, treat glass with Pinnacle GlassCoat Window Sealant with Rain Repellent.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

A nice creamy citrus cleaner with very mild abrasion, which cleaned well plus made my new car's windshield brilliant & smooth. I used the Pinnacle Water spot remover then the Pinnacle Glass sealant, made my glass so clean I could see all the streaks on the inside glass.
Pros:Good for new glass.

Eight expected encore songs from the Dave Matthews Band at Usana Amphitheater on Tuesday, Sept. 1:
8. The one where Dave mumbles something about "groovin'."
7. The one with the succinct 38-minute violin solo.
6. The one from the new CD that's shimmed under the leg of your futon back at the dorm.
5. The one from the 14 live albums and 27 bootlegs you've bought—and it sounds exactly the same!
4. The one you could have sworn was a Spin Doctors tune.
3. The one you could have sworn was a Blues Traveler tune.
2. The one with the awesome drum solo that you wrote a kick-ass thesis on last semester—and still got a D!
1. The one where Dave strums his guitar and hits almost all of the strings.

[Verse 2: B.o.B.]
It's funny how niggas get hype when they get on stage with a mic
You know I see em bitin' the style cool, they still can't deliver it right
I've been killin' this shit for so long, I don't remember the hype
What's that like? They ain't really bout that life, they ain't really bout that life
No lie on this mic, chillin' with habitual whores
Hit 'er with the hammer like Thor
This ain't no boy, this a G4 ho, act like you been here before
Open up the suicide doors, like a Joe cut the window at the 25th floor
Ready for war, I came out the womb with a sword, cut my umbilical chord
See I'm headin' where you ain't never been
We are not the same and that's evident
I make flexin' just look so effortless
Get that celery til I'm hella back
See these hoes, these hoes ain't celibate
And they ain't hesitant, not at all
For a nigga with a proper draw, she give me that box like a post office doctor though
[Bridge: T.I.]
[Verse 3: Problem]
Yeah no Tip, I got these hoes
Live it way, got a sake pose
Covered it like wear ladies flows

'Cuz impostors will get whack niggas that's mobsters

We don't play around
With my zig-zags I J down this motherfucker real quick
'Cuz life be her bitch
Will I'm gon' serve hers big dick
Boy this Compton, Diamond lane
Me and y'all, it's bout the same
Same nigga without the game
Keep shit, it ain't potty trained
Big bucks like a Shawty bang, bad boy with that naughty chain
Big stripes like referees but home boy this is not a game
So break bread with the real bruh
Make sure you live life 'till it kill ya
Drop another molly in my tequila
'Til my life and my dreams look familiar
[Verse 4: Trae Tha Truth]
Off the drama and I'm back nigga
Still a king and that's a fact nigga
Fuck talkin, I'm that nigga
That's one deep, no pact nigga
Bad boy, no act nigga
No internet, but I'm at niggas
New McLaren, all black nigga
That's front and Center like Shaq nigga
In the game but don't play round
Try this shit with me – you get layed down
I stick and move, I don't stay round
Make the hardest nigga turn greyhound
I don't talk the talk, I just run shit
How you think you're me but ain't the shit

So we can fire pistols at yo goddamn mama
Let me find out, you layin' on me for riches
Cut his head off, leave his forehead in the kitchen
Warming your eye balls on the stove, the other missin'
I think his head exploded, that nigga teethin' the dishes
Hey when you learned that as long I learned this shit in the trenches
I am at a nigga just like Twitter, follow my mentions
4-4 deuce cutless, deuce butnicks extensions
And you can hustle on main street, TKT gave you permission

Dodge Creates Five Unique Trims for the Dodge Viper
Posted in Dodge
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Dodge Viper. Unfortunately, it also marks the final year of production for the performance model. For decades, the Viper has stood out as one of the most powerful and stunning performance vehicles on the road. Dodge has recently planned the perfect swan song for the Dodge Viper….


text: More than a year after forming a clinical affiliation with Stony Brook University Medical Center, Southampton Hospital has held preliminary discussions about relocating to the Stony Brook Southampton College campus. The two institutions are far from moving ahead with a project, but both confirmed there have been talks about possibly rebuilding the hospital on the 82-acre Southampton campus. "It's very much a concept that we would like considered," Southampton Hospital CEO Robert S. Chaloner said. "It's an appealing idea." Stony Brook University spokeswoman Lauren Sheprow described the discussions as "extremely preliminary." She said the two haven't progressed beyond early talks "especially in light of the executive budget proposal eliminating $55 million direct state support and zeroing out any new construction or capital improvement funding to Stony Brook University Hospital."

Legendary grindcore act REPULSION paid tribute to iconic MOTÖRHEAD frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister by playing the MOTÖRHEAD song "The Hammer" during their January 9 concert at the Show Your Scars Festival in Los Angeles, California. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.Formed in the mid-1980s in Flint, Michigan, REPULSION is an early grindcore/death metal band. The group's material enjoyed modest, albeit posthumous, exposure when U.K. grindcore pioneers CARCASS distributed a REPULSION compilation titled "Horrified" on their own Necrosis Records label; a subsidiary of Earache Records. With interest in REPULSION rekindled, the band decided to reform in 1990. REPULSION recorded two self-financed demos in 1991: "Rebirth" and "Final Demo". Later that year they released a single on Relapse entitled "Excruciation" before breaking up again in 1993. Carlson went on to play in CATHEDRAL while the rest of the band pursued short-lived projects or simply returned to everyday life. Relapse re-released "Horrified" again in 2003, drawing attention to REPULSION once more, and prompting the band to resume performing live. In 2004 REPULSION also released a live DVD. In 2008, REPULSION opened for Swedish metallers AT THE GATES on their "Suicidal Final Tour" in California, along with DARKEST HOUR and MUNICIPAL WASTE. Various bands have recorded covers of REPULSION songs, including NAPALM DEATH, IMPALED and ENTOMBED.

Over one-half of smart energy device owners report interoperability is very important
Industry Leaders and Analysts to Address Smart Home Solutions and IoT this week at Smart Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer
Dallas, Texas, February 16, 2015 - Parks Associates hosts the sixth-annual Smart Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer this week, February 16-18, 2015, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas. Over 250 industry leaders from utilities, service providers, retailers, manufacturers, and technology companies participate in panel discussions about the smart home, the impact of new business models, and strategies to drive consumer engagement in energy management. Media are invited.
"Energy is a significant component of smart home offerings," said Tom Kerber, Director of Home Controls and Energy Research, Parks Associates. "Over one-half of smart energy device owners report that interoperability is very important to them. It is crucial that industries work together to ensure these products can function with other devices as part of a broader smart home system."
Smart Energy Summit features keynotes from NRG and SunPower about successful ways these companies are engaging consumers through new business models and programs. A special fireside chat with ecobee and SmartThings addresses partnerships, business strategies, and consumer expectations for energy in the Internet of Things.
"There are major opportunities in the electricity industry, especially now that some of the more energy-hungry industries are adopting smart technologies," said Jacob Nielson, Business Development Leader, Emerson, and speaker on the session Building Energy Management Offerings through Smart Devices and Services. "For years, upgraded lighting and upgraded HVAC systems have been the answer. Now the great opportunity is to have smart monitoring and controls that know the precise homeowner needs at all times to optimize legacy products and equipment. Things like retrofit kits to HVAC systems can provide homeowners with new insights to take actions, specifically catered for their situation, and further reduce their energy consumption without harming their preferences."

A Little Context for the Crosstown Development
Practically everything I've heard and seen about the development looks, sounds positive. I wonder about the northern approach, the Poplar/Watkins gateway, however. It appears to be a entire block of street exposed parking. They've talked about rooftop parking, so hopefully that's what going on here. A building flush with the sidewalk at that corner would
- provide an architectural advertisement for their work, on one of Memphis' busiest thoroughfares. We zoom past parking lots all the time. A building on that corner would be a unique herald of the changes inside. An exciting invitation inside for both cars coming up and down Poplar, and walkers coming from Vollintine and Evergreen. Parking lots do not invite.
- help restore physical, visual and even social continuity between Evergreen and the development in the Washington Bottoms.
- increase not only the area's walkability, but also its walk-to-ability and walk-from-ability.

2 out of 2 people recommend staying here
A very comfortable villa which was in a good location just outside a lovely, busy village with many places to eat. Cleaning and maintainance firm were excellent and came quickly to mend loo and shower but a broken downstairs security shutter was outside their remit. It was a nuiscance and was never mended. There was a broken window handle which meant the bedroom french window was not closable for 10 days. There was only 1 saucepan and 1 frying pan so cooking was a struggle. For the price of the villa I would have expected better. But overall - lovely! We would go there again.
We absolutely loved our holiday, the villa, views and the local village were fantastic. There were a few niggling issues such as not being told that we had to take rubbish down to the skips in the village ,after a few days we asked about and found out ourselves.
The villa is at the top of a very steep hill but only 5mins walk from the village and after a few mythos we didn't mind the walk as much! The beach is a about a 15min walk .
Alan the maintenance guy popped in regularly to clean the pool and was very helpful with local info etc .
All in all we had an amazing holiday and would recommend the villa and gennadi to anyone.
