Merry two days after Christmas and Happy five days before New Year's! Every website, TV show, and magazine has their own year end lists and we are no different. As the movie self professed movie buff of digitaldailyfix.com, I put myself through countless hours of watching terrible movies either for reviews or for laughs. The flip side to that coin is that I am able to give myself an excuse or two to watch some good films as well. 2011 proved to be a year that provided so many highs and lows in cinema this year that I couldn't decide on just 8 for this list. So for this year-end list I've bumped it up to a Top 9 with some haiku for the honorable mentions. After all it is the season for giving!
Teenage commando
Trying to kill Cate Blanchett
Haven't we all though?
Captain America: The First Avenger
Human Torch has shield
Destroying steam punk Nazis
Old frozen virgin
Pegg and Frost are nerds
Alien fart and pot jokes
Sigourney Weaver
Horrible Bosses
Overworked white guys
Dream of killing their bosses
Was this based me?
Real Steel
Big fighting robots
Hugh Jackman is an asshole
Kid out-acts The Beef
And now for the feature attraction!
9: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was another film in the long line of prequels, sequels, or reboots that Hollywood has been churning out for the past few years. Were fans clamoring for this to be made? Not after Tim Burton raped the franchise? Was this film necessary for the canon? Absolutely not. Despite this Rise of the Planet of Apes may have successfully resurrected the franchise. The plot centers on a young scientist (James Franco) who tests a cure for Alzheimer's disease on an ape and then takes it home after the trial is shut down. Without giving away too may spoilers the proverbial feces comes into contact with a room cooling device and the apes run amok. Franco and his love interest (The lead actress from Slumdog Millionaire. The hot one, not the seven-year old.) are not very memorable nor do they need to be. The true stars of this movie are John Lithgow, Franco's father who is battling Alzheimer's and mo-cap master Andy Serkis portraying Caesar, the smartest primate since Magilla Gorilla. Serkis has even garnered several supporting actor award nominations further cementing his status as the best thing to ever happen to CG.
8: Limitless
When I initially watched the trailer for Limitless I was very intrigued. Whoever was tasked to cut the trailer did a fantastic job: it showcased the actors, highlighted the major plot points, and managed not to give away the entire story. If I had known the plot of this film going in I may not have been as captivated by it as I was. The easiest way to describe Limitless is to combine equal parts Trainspotting and Fight Club, add a lemon wedge of Bradley Cooper's charisma and a dash of Robert De Niro not acting in a movie with Ben Stiller. Bradley Cooper is a down and out writer that has lost everything. In fact he is quite the loses until he discovers a wonder drug that turns him into a modern-day Kent Allard. Limitless begins as a drug movie, slowly morphs into a character study, and by the conclusion it is one of the best origin stories for a superhero that I have seen in a long time. It also makes me want to start taking every pill in sight to become smarter.
7: Attack the Block
I had the good fortune to catch Attack the Block while it was still showing in Austin Drafthouse here>. While I did write an abbreviated review for the film I can't leave this one off of my year end list. Attack the Block was a very creative, funny, and realistic view of an alien attack. I found this movie much more believable than J.J. Abrams remake of E.T. and the characters more interesting. Thugs from the ghetto trying to hunt down and kill aliens with make shift weapons such as cricket bats and lead pipes only to run for their lives is much more interesting than a misunderstood alien being wrongfully persecuted by the assholes in charge. It is actually refreshing to see an invading force as the actual evil and this gives the writer and director more opportunity to develop their characters. Attack the Block is loads of fun and provides some legitimate scares. All without a slew of jarring cuts or shaky cam. God bless you, Joe Cornish.
6: The Muppets
I have kept this secret for way too long. I should have come clean about this years ago but I was afraid of being shunned and ridiculed. Here goes nothing……..I'm not really a fan of the Muppets. I do like Bunsen and Beaker, The Muppet Movie was well made and I was a sucker for Hulk Hogan's cameo in Muppets From Space but I have always failed to see the mainstream appeal. Even as a kid I had a hard time suspending my disbelief when it came to the Muppets and Muppet Babies made it even worse. Nanny's socks didn't even match her outfit! When I learned there was a new Muppet movie in the works I was not expecting much. Shortly after I read it was being directed by the same man who directed Da Ali G Show and my expectations were lowered even more. However the finished product was my second best surprise of the year. Jason Segel was the driving force behind the script and I could see true effort being put into the film. Each character got a chance to shine and the movie was actually about the Muppets (take note, Michael Bay). The script was great and gave time to each character. The songs were pleasant but not saccharin sweet. The jokes were a great mix of silliness, in jokes, and torturing Jack Black. Not to mention Amy Adams is in The Muppets. And I love Amy Adams.
5: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Do you remember that one time earlier in this list when I gushed about the trailer for Limitless? The trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was the opposite of that. It was extremely jarring and gave no insight to the plot or characters. In fact this was the first time that a film trailer gave me a headache. Not even The Three Stooges trailer could do that. This is the first in a trilogy that is based on the popular novels by Swedish author Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines many genres into an entertaining and shockingly gritty ride. For those who haven't read the books, seen the Swedish movie version, or who hate the trailer as much as I did The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the story of a journalist (Daniel Craig) hired to solve a 40-year-old murder mystery and a rebellious social misfit (Rooney Mara) is hired to assist him. The most important factor with this film is that it is directed by David Fincher. Fincher's fingerprints are all evident throughout the entire film. His art direction is second to none and he has a great ability to give all of his characters an air of mystery and coldness while still making them likeable and heroic. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (the other guy from The Social Network soundtrack) return to Fincher's side once again and I can see the duo grabbing back-to-back Oscar nods. A great film from top to bottom. The only down side was that I couldn't be that one guy who complains about all of the stuff they cut from the book. Looks like I will have to do some reading before the next film is released.
4: Midnight in Paris
2011 has been a year full of surprises. I was able to move half way across the country. Osama bin Laden was killed until he died from it. Zack Ryder is featured heavily on WWE programming. And the biggest shock of the year: I LIKED A WOODY ALLEN MOVIE!! This is the first time this has happened since Bullets Over Broadway and that was all the way back in 1994! Woody Allen is at his best when he is directing awkward scenes of dialogue between neurotics and women, or when working on a self-discovery film. Midnight in Paris combines Allen's two greatest strengths as a film maker while allowing him to pay homage to the great music and literature figures of the last century. Owen Wilson plays a hack writer turned wannabee novelist in Paris with his fiancee and her parents. While wondering the streets of Paris he is picked up in a taxi and taken to the 1920s. During his time in the 20s he meets several of idols including Ernest Hemingway and Cole Porter. Woody Allen writes and directs these scenes with such matter of fact that the audience is never taken out of the trip. As Owen Wilson's character becomes more ingratiated in the lives of artistic icons he learns more about himself as a writer and as a person. Midnight in Paris is a very good movie that suitable for either a date night or to dissect and discuss. Hopefully Allen has some more good ideas up his sleeve.
3: X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class ran away with the title of 'best superhero movie of the summer' quite early on. Matthew Vaughn took over the series and was given a serious burden: to fix the series after X-Men: The Last Stand. The decision makers decided to reboot the series, which I actually agreed with. X3 was so terrible and did so much damage to the most notable X-Men that there was no other choice than to start from scratch. I will readily admit that a lot of the CG in First Class looked cheap, the villain was under developed, and January Jones should never be allowed to speak on camera again but the film wasn't about those things. It was about the relationship between Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) and how their clashing philosophies came to a head thereby ending their friendship. McAvoy and Fassbender were fantastic and for the first time had me believing that Professor X and Magneto were actually friends once upon a time. The supporting characters appear to be cast by real actors as opposed to 'looking good for the role.' This is especially evident with Jennifer Lawrence who was cast to play Mystique. I think I can safely say that most X-Men fans were begging for movie that didn't focus entirely on Wolverine and we finally got one. I am personally looking forward to X-Men: First Class II, or X-Men: Second Class, or whatever they decide on the sequel being called as long as Vaughn, McAvoy, and Fassbender are on board.
2: Win Win
Win Win is an independent comedy/drama directed by Thomas McCarthy (Dr. Bob from Meet the Parents and Little Fockers. Did I just write that? That can't be possible. It is. HOLY SHITBALLS!) starring Paul Giamatti and a bunch of people who are fortunate to be in the presence of Paul Giamatti. Win Win follows a lawyer and high school wrestling coach (Giamatti) as he double crosses one of his elderly clients for a monthly stipend. Although his wrestling team makes the Bad News Bears look like Team Iceland from D2: The Mighty Ducks his life is going fairly well. That is until his client's grandson crashes on his door step. The strength of Win Win is McCarthy's ability to tell this story without being predictable. Every character is funny, likeable, empathetic, and complex. This is the type of film that Paul Giamatti is famous for: low key festival films that deliver great acting but will have a limited audience. I won't give away too much more since this is most likely the movie that has been least seen on this list. It has been available on DVD for a few months now so you should have no trouble finding it. Go watch it. Do it!
And number 1 (of the movies that I have seen this year) is……………………
1: Drive
I wrote a review of Drive a few months ago. If you didn't read it in September here it is: http://digitaldailyfix.com/2011/09/18/drive-the-anti-transporter/ This is the only film of the year that I have seen in the theater more than once and the film may even deliver a bigger impact the second time around. The performances are great from every actor involved. Gosling is great as the quiet bad-ass, Albert Brooks is the most intense that I have ever seen him, and Ron Perlman even went so far as to shave his comedy beard to be taken more seriously this time around. The music for this film is beyond perfect and I do not see how Drive can't win some awards in that category. The action is brief but the slow build makes a short car chase much more important than say………a one hour-long fight between giant robots in one of the largest cities in America. If you haven't seen Drive yet you are doing yourself a huge disservice. As far as I know it is no longer in major theaters but you may still be able to find it playing in smaller screens. Go watch it, then read my review. It will make a lot more sense.
Thus concludes my Top
8 9 best movies of the year (that I have seen). While not the strongest year for film there were several gems released from both major studios and smaller, independent houses. Check back for the Top 8 9 worst movies of the year and hopefully a second edition of my and Smitty's Best Picture Blowout. Thanks for sticking with us and have a Happy Festivus!

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
We have high speed internet access with modem and ethernet cable at our house rather than WiFi. Do most of you have WiFi, and if you have not gotten it, do you get many complaints about not having it?
I have the most unstable internet connection and cell phone reception on my property. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? My "business" clients really needs this feature.
Consider adding a cell phone repeater or amplifer to your property. They range from $100 - $1000
I only offer high speed internet service via WiFi, rather than ethernet cable for several reasons. It can be used throughout the house and it is less likely to have problems than wired which gives them direct physical access (in some cases) to your router.
I too suffer phone problems at my location with AT&T. So I added their MicroCell and offer to enter a guests cell phone into the system for their use while at the house. This gives them strong signal reception in the house, and especially close to the micro-cell. The cost when I did it is a one time fee of $250 but I think AT&T is now offering it for free.
I too use the Microcell 3G and it provides great coverage all throughout the house.
Well the high speed interent with cable is far better and fast than Wi-Fi interent. Wi-Fi net best where we requrire more than two users and they want to use it from their own bed room but Wi-Fi doesn't give as much speed like cable high speed interent.
We use DSL at our cottage with a wifi router. Speed tests show 8Mbps. I can't see any need for anything faster. Netflix via wifi works just fine too, no hesitation or pauses at all.
I would never want to be limited to one place to use my laptop -- WiFi is the only solution for me!
Unless you have faster service than 100 mbit ethernet coming into your house you won't see any real difference between using ethernet or WiFi. Cable companies charge an arm and a leg for 50 mbit Internet service and some newer WiFi dual channel 5MHz is capable of 400mbit ethernet, way more than the cable company will provide.

The Garden Corner By Sharon Allen, Master Gardener This article, which begins my second year of writing for the newspaper, will offer a few suggestions that you can use to help control plant diseases in your gardens. It is not a particularly exciting topic, but I hope that you find it useful.
Keep the garden clean. Keeping your garden free of diseased material is an effective method of disease control. Carry a bag as you walk around your garden and put diseased material (whether they are leaves, vegetables, or entire plants) into it when spotted. Do not compost diseased material unless your compost pile heats up to 1600F. Place plants suspected of having viruses into sealed containers and dispose of with the household trash.
Prune for disease control. One of the reasons for pruning plants is to control diseases. Cut off any leaves or stems that you suspect are diseased, preventing the spread of disease within the plant and checking the spread to other plants.
Keep tools clean. Clean pots and tools that come into contact with diseased plants. Scrape off the soil (not into the garden) and dip them into a 10 percent bleach solution (one part bleach to nine parts water.) It is also a good idea to soak seedling flats, since they can harbor disease causing organisms.
Rotate your crops. Grow your crops in a different part of the garden each year to avoid the buildup of disease organisms. Many garden pests survive winter and can reinfest the following year if the same thing (or plant from the same family) is grown in the same place. Carrots, dill, fennel, and parsley belong to the Umbellifrae family; tomatoes, eggplants and peppers are in the nightshade family; and beans and peas are in the legume family, for example. Crop rotation does not work for every disease, since some diseases (verticillum wilt fungus attacks nearly 300 different species) have many host plants.
An additional benefit of crop rotation is preventing nutrient disorders. Plants are selective in their use of nutrients and can deplete the soil of specific ones. A wider variety of nutrients will be removed if different types of plants are grown in a given location, balancing soil fertility.
Control disease carriers. Diseases can be spread by insects, splashing or running water, wind, and bits of soil carried on shoes and tools. In some cases, if you control the disease carrier then the disease will not occur. Cucumber beetles, which spread bacterial wilt, will require more control if the object is to prevent disease rather than merely insect damage. A floating row cover can be helpful if used when the seeds are planted and removed later for insect pollination. Humans can transfer disease too. People can infect their tomatoes with tobacco mosaic virus if they handle the plants after touching tobacco products infected with tobacco mosaic virus.
For answers to gardening problems, write to Sharon Allen at 110 North Plum Street, Vermillion, SD 57069 or reach her through the internet at firstname.lastname@example.com.

IL Senate Panel Endorses Ammunition Limit
Parents of two Sandy Hook elementary students killed by a Connecticut gunman last fall testified in favor of limiting high-capacity ammunition magazines in Illinois. The Illinois Senate's Executive Committee voted 12-3 Monday to advance legislation banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Mark Barden is the father of seven-year-old Daniel Barden. Daniel was among 20 children fatally shot Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn.
Barden says killer Adam Lanza consciously took higher-capacity magazines with him "to kill a lot more people and he did." Park Ridge Democratic Sen. Dan Kotowski's legislation would exempt police, military and shooting competitions. Todd Vandermyde of the National Rifle Association says he should have the same weapons as police to protect his family.

At Maderas Steak & Ribs, kitchen commanders craft a menu with hefty steaks forged from Kansas prime Angus beef. To sustain flavor throughout meals, in-house pastry chefs fill crumbly crusts with pie or cheesecake swirled with fresh fruit and juices.
Neon lighting grants old-timey-diner appeal to the spacious tables and cushy booths of Maderas's big, kid-friendly room, through which live music occasionally wanders on Friday and Saturday nights and whenever forks happen to clang melodically against glassware or mom's glass chewing-gum dispenser.
Despite their restaurant's moniker, the chefs at Johnny Rebs' Southern Roadhouse aren't averse to local ingredients. In fact, all their produce comes from California growers. But rather than recreate Southern flavors, they prefer going straight to the source, relying on Virginian and North Carolinian farms to send country hams and Delta farms to send catfish. Said catfish simmers beneath mountains of slaw in po' boys, one among Johnny Rebs' many housemade Southern staples, which range from creole shrimp over cheddar grits to pulled pork slow-smoked up to 12 hours.
Though steeped in traditional Southern cooking, Johnny Rebs' critically acclaimed culinary team puts its own twist on Southern and American staples alike. To wit: grilled cheese made with pimento and jalapeños, as well as deep-fried apple pie, which bubbles in a deep fryer stolen off a Georgia windowsill. Complemented with "suds" and "squashed grapes"—Johnny Rebs' speak for beer and wine—feasts unfold amidst a rustic dining space made to resemble a cozy, wood-paneled home. Before the table fills up with smoked and fried meats, guests can snack from a bucket of peanuts. They're free, but any quarters diners donate in return go straight to charities such as the Granite Mountain Hotshots.
Joey's Smokin' BBQ is a quick-serve Memphis style barbeque restaurant specializing in authentic southern recipes with a California twist.
Strands of hanging lights illuminate the yard outside Beach Pit BBQ's low-slung bungalow, where guests gather at picnic tables to enjoy Southern–style barbecue. Pit masters smoke the meat for 12 hours over indirect heat from hickory- and pecan-wood-burning ovens that give pulled pork, beef brisket, and whole chickens rich flavors. Diners get a complete rustic meal rounded out by classic Southern sides that range from jalapeño-cheddar cornbread to sweet-potato fries. The restaurant slathers their slow-cooked selections with a variety of housemade sauces, including a golden mustard sauce praised in Orange Coast magazine.
The vibe is laid-back as patrons settle into adirondack chairs around the outdoor fire pit or inside at gingham-covered tables the perfect size for arm-wrestling contests to decide who gets the last rib. Youngsters gambol about a play area enclosed by a white picket fence and sit at kid-size picnic tables to enjoy their meals. The eatery strives to give back to the community by sponsoring fundraisers and catering local events.
At Sura Korean BBQ & Tofu, meat and tofu put aside their differences in the name of cooperating to create savory Korean feasts. Bulgogi—sliced beef marinated in 12 flavorful ingredients—stars in many dishes, from japche rice-paper wraps to custom-made bibimbap served in a hot stone pot. Instead of sculpting faux turkeys from vatfuls of guacamole, vegans can build feasts from meat-free dishes such as tofu soup and sushi-like kimchi kimbap. The restaurant's popular korean tacos encourage meats and greens to hang out together, housing combinations of bulgogi, pork, chicken, veggies, or tofu. Outdoor seating invites patrons to dine amid verdant plants, whereas comfy indoor booths honor nature with sunny lights and bamboo wall coverings.
It didn't take long for Brian Kozak to discover his passion for food: at the age of three, after he first tried shrimp cocktail and crème brulee, he would spend hours leafing through cookbooks and family recipes in his parents' kitchen. His fascination with food led him to build an impressive culinary resume: after graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, Brian spent four years cooking for Bon Appetit, opened his own catering company, and learned how to fold a puff pastry according to army-bed making standards. Today, he demonstrates his culinary prowess as the resident Chef at Sage Restaurant and Lounge. Kozak's influences span the globe: try the Spanish saffron paella with chorizo and shrimp, or any of six 10-inch pizzas. The dining room also has global flair, from its Tuscan yellow walls to its terra cotta tile floors.

The food supply, including poultry products, may transmit antimicrobial drug–resistant Escherichia coli to humans. To assess this hypothesis, 931 geographically and temporally matched E. coli isolates from human volunteers (hospital inpatients and healthy vegetarians) and commercial poultry products (conventionally raised or raised without antimicrobial drugs) were tested by PCR for phylogenetic group (A, B1, B2, D) and 60 virulence genes associated with extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli. Isolates resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, quinolones, and extended-spectrum cephalosporins (n = 331) were compared with drug-susceptible isolates (n = 600) stratified by source. Phylogenetic and virulence markers of drug-susceptible human isolates differed considerably from those of human and poultry isolates. In contrast, drug-resistant human isolates were similar to poultry isolates, and drug-susceptible and drug-resistant poultry isolates were largely indistinguishable. Many drug-resistant human fecal E. coli isolates may originate from poultry, whereas drug-resistant poultry-source E. coli isolates likely originate from susceptible poultry-source precursors.

Buzz with an edge: Marquette tops Miami 71-61 - 0 Comments
WASHINGTON — Buzz Williams has never been this far in the NCAA tournament before, so it might take a while for him to deal with it.
The Marquette coach was just as irritable in victory as he might have been in defeat Thursday night after his Golden Eagles beat Miami 71-61 to put the school in the Elite Eight for the first time in a decade.
Williams relished the Golden Eagles' underdog status after come-from-behind wins in the subregional. But this was a dominant win over the champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference, so why the dour demeanor?

Web Site last Updated -23/04/2014 - - - - What's New ?
And you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share the nourishing sap from the olive root, Romans 11 v17
The "Old Testament" of the Christian Bible is the Jewish Tanakh, and the "New Testament" is built on these Jewish scriptures.
Jesus is a Jew. He was born, lived and died as a Jew. He was born King of the Jews and died King of the Jews.
Jesus taught as a Jewish Rabbi.
We are familiar with the Christian holidays.
God promised the patriarchs of Israel, "He who blesses you, I will bless and he who curses you, I will curse."
Jesus is coming back to Jerusalem
In these pages we look at what went wrong, the good things we are missing, the way things should be, and how Israel and the Jews are key to world events as they unfold, in these end-times .
This website explores the relationship between Christianity and Judaism (the Jewish faith), including Messianic Judaism. It explains the Jewish roots of Christianity, and the continuity of revelation and worship through Jewish and into Christian scriptures. It looks forward, with the Jews, to the coming of their Messiah and ours. It is possible to span the gulf that opened over the centuries by realizing where we stand. The apostle Paul likened non Jewish Christians to wild olive branches grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Israel. Since this is the basis of our acceptance by the God of Israel, wildolive explores the implications of this relationship.
An understanding of Hebrew and Jewish culture, tradition, faith and worship can add so much to even familiar Bible stories and celebrations.
This was nearly all lost due to replacement theology so we look at all the Jewish Feasts and their relevance and importance for the Christian.
We want to see how much can be recovered, and how we Christians can draw nourishment from our Jewish roots.
The unfolding of God's purposes in World History centres around Israel, Jerusalem and the Jews. The Christian can not afford to ignorantly follow the prevailing world-view of events in the "Middle East" and side with those who oppose God's purposes and the people He chose to bring salvation to the world. We need to understand and act upon "the signs of the times" revealed in Israel, so we look at the politics and media coverage of Israel and the forces ranged against her.
We seek to draw practical conclusions for ways the Christian can be in God's will concerning these matters, and to point the way to the many resources which are available for those who seek to draw from their roots in God's olive tree.
Awareness of the importance of Israel is not the only thing that much of the church has lost. Healing is an important part of the Gospel that few Christians believe in, having become more sophisticated and educated in the world's wisdom. See also Unbelief.

PA, Hamas Announce Unity Government Against Israel
Lea Speyer April 23, 2014
Ismail Haniya, Hamas leader in Gaza, and Nabil Shaath, a senior member of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas' Fatah party have confirmed that rival leaders from the West Bank and Gaza Strip have agreed to form a national unity government within the "next five weeks."
Following talks in Gaza City on Tuesday evening between officials of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Hamas, an agreement was reached to merge both governments.
The news of the latest alliance comes at a time when US brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians face total collapse.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the latest alliance. "Every time we get to that point, Abbas stacks on an additional condition which he knows that Israel cannot give," the prime minister said. "So instead of moving toward peace with Israel, he's moving toward peace with Hamas." "He has to choose," Netanyahu said. "Does he want peace with Hamas or peace with Israel? You can have one but not the other. I hope he chooses peace, but so far he hasn't done so."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's Office said that Israel was "deeply disappointed" by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's assertion that Jerusalem is to blame for the breakdown in talks with the Palestinians.

04/04/14 -The Palestinian Authority has issued new demands 04/04/14, threatening to discontinue the current round of negotiations past the 30 April deadline if they are not met. They include the release of 1,200 Palestinian security prisoners currently serving time in Israeli jails and the unilateral recognition by Israel that the pre-1967 lines will be the borders of a future Palestinian State which will have its capital in the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Among the terrorists the PA is demanding Israel release are Marwan Barghouti, Ahmed Sa'adat and Fuad Shobaki, all of whom were involved in acts of murder of Israeli civilians. Read More

The Palestinian Authority's only reason for agreeing to and continuing the peace negotiations with Israel is to bring about the release of prisoners, Fatah's spokesman Ahmad Assaf has indicated.
Stating that the PA "blackmailed" Israel to release the prisoners, Assaf explained that by virtue of the PA's membership in the UN, the PA is able to threaten Israel with taking it to the International Criminal Court. Assaf maintains that to prevent the PA from doing so, Israel agreed to release 104 prisoners, most of them serving life sentences for murder.
Israel offered to release a new group of 400 Palestinian security prisoners, in addition to the fourth and final group of longtime terrorism convicts who were set to go free, if the Palestinian Authority agrees to extend peace talks for another six months. The US, anxious to arrange for the continuation of the talks, backed the offer.
The Palestinians responded that it wanted 1,000 prisoner released, a settlement freeze, and portions of the West Bank's area C transferred to PA jurisdiction. Talks would then continue till the end of 2014. - This is extortion!
Prime Minister Netanyahu remarked, about releasing Palestinian terrorists in exchange for extending the peace negotiations, that any agreement that is reached will be brought to the government for approval.
Talks collapsed www.jerusalemonline.com 30/03/14
The Palestinian terrorists have still not been released. The official negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have collapsed.
The Palestinian Authority threatened to seek full recognition as a member state in the UN if Israel does not release the fourth batch of Palestinian security prisoners as part of ongoing peace talks as scheduled on March 28.The PA's threats came as Abbas returned to a hero's welcome in Ramallah from his meeting with US President Barack Obama in the US. Abbas told those assembled he had not made any concessions in his talks with Obama. "We went and returned and did not give up our obligations," Abbas said.
One Israeli government source said it was reminiscent of Yasser Arafat's return from Camp David in 2000, when it appeared the Palestinians were celebrating the failure of peace talks. The second intifada broke out shortly thereafter.
Will the U.S. release Jonathan Pollard to coincide with Israeli releases of terrorists ?
Why does the U.S. push Israel to release terrorists when they got so angry about Afghanistan releasing men with American blood on their hands?Despite Benjamin Netanyahu's basic requirement that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state within the framework of negotiations for peace, the American State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki reportedly stated in an interview with the "Al-Quds" newspaper that the Palestinians do not need to recognize Israel as Jewish state as part of the peace agreement if they do not wish to do so.
Kerry offered Beit Hanina as Palestinian capital. According to Al-Quds, Kerry demanded Abbas to official recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and offered the Beit Hanina neighborhood as the Palestinian capital instead of the entire east Jerusalem area.
This was not the first time the Americans have offered only a part of east Jerusalem for the Palestinian capital. In a previous round of talks, the Americans offered Abu Dis as an alternative - an offered that was rejected immediately. In addition, Kerry has raised the possibility that the Jordan Valley will not be a part of the Palestinian state.
Kerry explicitly admitted that he hopes at best to get Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a "framework" for a peace agreement by April 29, but that a final deal could take another nine months or more.
Abbas confirmed earlier this month that a Palestinian state might have to cede its defensive capability to NATO, and that he could accept IDF presence in the West Bank for a five-year period after the signing of an agreement. The Palestinian leader even agreed to a gradual evacuation of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. However, Abbas insisted that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
Kerry Proposes: 80,000 Arabs to Move to Israel U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas the "return" of 80, 000 Palestinian "refugees" to Israel, a well-informed Palestinian Authority (PA) official told Chinese news service Xinhua. more

John Kerry quietly presented a U.S. plan for eastern Jerusalem that calls for an international administrative mandate to control holy sites in the area, according to informed Palestinian and Israeli diplomatic sources. Kerry's plan recommended a coalition that includes the Vatican, together with a group of Muslim countries such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia. more
Russia Warns: We'll Play the Iran Card Against U.S., EU
In the most naked threat yet from Russia, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Interfax news service that Russia could "raise the stakes" in its confrontation with the West by revising its stance on Iran. The Associated Press has the story.
The threat has teeth. Russia is not only a veto-wielding member of the UN Security Council and so able to block new sanctions or other action against Iran by the world body; it is also a member of the P5+1 negotiating group working to reach a nuclear compromise with Iran.
If Russia switches its stance from pushing Iran, however lightly, toward abandoning its nuclear program toward tacitly or overtly promising to support Iran regardless of the nuclear issue, the West's strategy toward Iran could rapidly unravel. Closer economic relations with Russia could help protect Iran from the effect of renewed sanctions, and any technical assistance with either the nuclear or long range missile components of Iran's strategy could dramatically accelerate Iran's buildup.
Iran's state-run Press TV announced on Wednesday that Russia will soon begin construction of two new nuclear power plants in the Islamic Republic, next to the existing plant in the city of Bushehr.
Iran is still the number one threat to Israel - - see also Understanding the Times
WASHINGTON - "For the sake of our national security and the peace and security of the world," diplomacy with Iran must be given a chance to succeed, the White House charged Mid January 2014. The White House issued a detailed breakdown of the technical nuclear agreement reached in Geneva between Iran and world powers.
Great! - If you think we can trust Iran's leaders and President Obama. But Sanctions are slipping away, unchallenged; and without any signs of compliance.
December 2013
Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz al Saud, the Saudi ambassador to Britain published an Op-Ed in the New York Times Wednesday, criticizing recent negotiations between the P5+1 nuclear powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) and Iran as being hopelessly inadequate to forestall the Islamic Republic's renegade nuclear program. "This means the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has no choice but to become more assertive in international affairs: more determined than ever to stand up for the genuine stability our region so desperately needs."
SyriaDeath Toll at least 150,000; maybe up to 220,000
Opposition groups monitoring the Syrian civil war issued an estimate on Tuesday that at least 150,000 people have been killed in Syria's ongoing civil war, with a third of that number being unarmed civilians, with a high-end estimate being closer to 220,000. Hundreds of thousands more are believed to have been wounded, kidnapped or fallen victim to conflict-related diseases, starvation and displacement.

New evidence reveals that jihadi entities, such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Ansar al-Sharia (ASL), are holding training camps in Libya. Al-Wasat, an academic/policy research blog, reported that credible sources within Libya have confirmed such camps exist.
The mainstream US media, once accused of covering up for the Obama Administration, broadcast a riveting report on the attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans.
Jordan has lost control over much of its territory.
Western intelligence sources asserted that the Hashemite kingdom has undergone a rapid decline over the last year amid the civil war in neighboring Syria. They said Jordan has become a hub for rebel operations against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, with a huge foreign presence in both the north and south.
WITHOUT AN Israeli grip on the Jordan Valley, Jordan would be exposed to a Palestinian takeover; in certain circumstances, guerrilla forces could enter Jordan to help bring down the king. Moreover, since Hamas today holds a majority of the Palestinian Authority, one can predict that following a coup in Jordan, the new government will be influenced by Hamas, perhaps by Iran – but certainly not by King Abdullah. Jerusalem Post
Hezbollah continue to be a major power, although weakened due to involvment in Syria. As the lebanon government does nothing to restrain Hezbollah, Israel has stated that provocative actions will be treated as emanating from Lebanon, and responses will be against Lebanon.

I've mentioned this a few times on our recent podcasts, but here's the official press release from BookExpo America about next year's Global Market Focus on translation:
Books in Translation: Wanderlust for the Written Word
BookExpo America has announced a new development for its 2014 Global Market Forum (GMF) program that is uniquely exciting by bringing a dedicated focus to books in translation. Leading US and international professionals that specialize in bringing the written word across languages will gather for a world summit on translation on Wednesday May 28th 2014, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, and in the following days at and around the book industry's largest gathering in North America which will take place Wednesday, May 28th – Saturday, May 31st 2014.
BEA welcomes a host of prestigious partners that will develop the professional and cultural programs that make up the 2014 Global Market Forum: Books in Translation presented at BEA as well as various venues and institutions in the New York City area during BEA. These include the Literary Translation at Columbia Writing Program, PEN World Voices, Open Letter Books at the University of Rochester, the Association of Author Representatives (AAR), American Literary Translators Association, Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco as well as representatives of international markets promoting their countries' literature in the US.
Books throughout history have been the vehicle for ideas and stories that transcend geography and cultures, reaching audiences far beyond a native land or language. Globalization and digitization bring new forces that are re-inventing the book trade and extending the possibilities for translations.
BEA is leading a collaborative effort from a variety of innovative organizations and experts in the sector to explore how these new opportunities can be turned into new business for authors, agents, publishers and translators.
Topics will include lessons learned from the recent success stories of translated authors, like the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson; explore how translated works can transcend from niche audiences to a large readership; debate best practices for making translations work – from English, as well as into English, and the help proposed from attractive funding programs. Marketing translations can now benefit from self-publishing to social media, by effectively managing interested target audiences, thereby facilitating the way to market for translated books.
"This is a logical evolution for BEA as international participation has outpaced every other segment at BEA aside from digital" says show organizer Steven Rosato. "While this is different for the GMF program, which typically focuses on a single country or region, providing a platform for books in translation is part of the long term future of BEA and will support future GMF programs and create more business opportunities for all BEA participants."

Why Pistons must Fear the Deer…
- Teams: Detroit Pistons (8-10) at Milwaukee Bucks (3-14)
- Date: December 4, 2013
- Time: 8:00 p.m.
- Television: FSD
What to look for
The Detroit Pistons started their three-game road trip with a bang. They defeated the Miami Heat on their own floor thanks in large part to a superb collective effort.
They consistently led throughout the contest by double digits and got a late scare in the game when the Heat made a run in the fourth quarter. Still, the Pistons picked apart a stifling Miami defense with exquisite passing.
Pistons players were consistently a step ahead of the Heat rotations and thus, they kept finding the open player either directly at the basket or from deep. The Heat eventually turned up the pressure in the fourth quarter and made a game of it, but Mo Cheeks' guys eventually found their footing and won the contest by double figures.
The next leg of this small trip has Detroit making a pit stop tonight in the state of Wisconsin in what has now become the toughest game of this east voyage.
The Milwaukee Bucks own the worst record in the league and their play certainly reflects their loss total. They simply are not all that talented and their schemes fail to take advantage of the pieces on the roster.
The Pistons defeated the Bucks in late November by 19 points and probably feel as though they can reproduce such a result even on the road. Keep in mind, tonight's contest comes on the heels of a victory over the back-to-back champs.
Hence, Detroit has every reason to be feeling themselves going into this matchup. In other words, they might be looking past this game and getting ready for their bout with the Chicago Bulls.
This could be a huge mistake given that Milwaukee could still surprise them. Granted, they have only collected three victories in 2013-14 and in addition, they have come against the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.
However, on the right night, any opponent can fall, especially if the 3-ball is in play. Tonight's hosts sport a top-10 shooting team from downtown and the long ball often plays the role of equalizer whenever underdogs find ways to stay within striking distance of an opposing team.
The Pistons better be wary of the Bucks.

Honestly, it would br just like the Pistons to lose this game by 15+. They have shown that after good performances agaims good teams, they sometimes take the game off and don't play to yet full potential. I fear they may play like the heat did and then try to make a comeback, but by then it may be too late

This is one of those games I expect us to win but yeah I have that feeling to. Unfortunately we don't have that one go to scorer on the team that when we hit a scoring drought they can bail us out (and no moose, Smith or Jennings isn't that guy).

Udoh has 5 blocks (all in the 2nd quarter). 1 each on Smith/Drummond and 3 on Monroe. I guess he must be angry that he is seen as a bust taken over a guy like Monroe.

Dec 4, 2013 • 10:54 pm

So here's an interesting stat:
Drummond/Monroe combined for 14-28 (50%) 42 points.
Smith/Jennings combined for 10-35 (26%) 34 points.
I know basketball is a team game and all but geez they almost shot us out of the game again. I must admit I'd much rather Jennings shooting 3 ball I cringe every time Smith launches away.
Another thing to add is we are now 9-10 and if not for the blown games against Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta and both Laker games we could've been securely lodged as the 3rd seed in the east.

Some combination of Rebase is probably going to be what you want:
I made a wrong commit and pushed it to the eclipse master branch (xquery-dev).
On my local machine I solved the problem by "amending" the commit with my next commit. But now I cannot push because "fast-fwd are not allowed".
Does anybody know how I can revert/amend commit 6551cc87a48a7c748c162acab2c570ed0b51641b from the xquery-dev on the master branch? http://git.eclipse.org/c/webtools/org.eclipse.webtools.incubator.git/commit/?id=6551cc87a48a7c748c162acab2c570ed0b51641b
