AMARILLO, TEXAS -- The generous hearts of a group of people are helping area kids that would have gone without this Christmas. A group of women used their creative work to raise hundreds of dollars to benefit the Salvation Army's Angel Tree.
"We made a quilt, and we go to give it away and we sold tickets for it and everyone got a ticket, I guess," said Verda Lawrence, 99 year old who organized raffle.
The quilt club at Bivins Memorial Nursing Home did just that, sold plenty of tickets, raising close to $1400. And in the giving Christmas spirit adopted 38 angels from the Salvation Army's Angel Tree here at the Pronews 7 studio.
"It does our heart good to know our people stay busy and they still have it in their hearts at that age to want to give and do things and then on top of that for the kids to get presents they may not get otherwise," said Jeff Messer, Chaplain at Bivins Memorial Nursing Home.
The 5 women who make up the quilting club are all in their 90's and have been quilting for years, even winning awards for their creative work. But to them, the most important part is giving back to those who would go without.
"If we gonna give it to somebody, we ought to give to somebody who needs it," said Lawrence.
"This might be all they get on Christmas morning. We hope the parents will take these things home and wrap them up or have them be the gifts from Santa Claus, or wrap them up and let them be the presents from them, we hope they'll be able to open them on Christmas morning and be surprised," said Major Cheryl Grider, Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army still has plenty of Angel's that need to adopted. Call them at 373-6631.

2014 F1 V6 Turbo Engine Battle - Ferrari vs Mercedes vs Renault vs Honda (2015) Here is a video comparing all of F1's V6 turbo engines which will replace the current naturally aspirated V8's for next season. As I'm sure you know (and you'll certainly know after watching this), the engines will sound significantly different in 2014 to how they are currently with a move away from the screaming 8 cylinders to whining 6 cylinders which produce a noise that has been likened to an oversized vacuum. The truth is though that these sound clips have been made on computers (with the exception of Ferrari) which don't take into account factors such as engine mapping, surrounding environment, chassis vibration etc. so don't think that the engines will sound like this on the track. As anyone who's been to a Grand Prix will know, the engines sound nothing like they do on TV or in sound clips in real life. All I'm trying to say is that the engines will sound fine when we get to testing so it would be great if people could stop complaining about the FIA ruining F1, anyway, how can F1 get much less interesting than in 2013? ;-) Thanks for watching!

Ferrari F1/89 LOUD V12 F1 SOUND ex-Gerhard Berger I've filmed this loud Ferrari F1/89 at the Corse Clienti 2012 in Spa Francorchamps. This F1 was driven by Gerhard Berger in the 1989 Formule 1 season. It's a 3.5L V12 producing 600 HP at 12500 rpm. Topspeed of 310 kph and a power-to-weight ratio of only 0.8kg/hp! You can hear this F1-89 revving the4 engine, starting the engine in the pitbox area, leaving the pitlane and doing a couple of LOUD drive-by's in the La Source and Eau Rouge curve. It sounds epic, this is how Formule One cars should sound...real V12 SOUND!

Among the most-performed comedies of the 20th century, Neil Simon's 1965 Broadway hit is about two recently divorced men – the slob sportswriter Oscar Madison and the neat, uptight Felix Ungar – who become unlikely roommates in a New York City apartment. The play spawned a hit movie (with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau), a long-running TV series (starring Jack Klugman and Tony Randall) and even a stage adaptation that turned Felix and Oscar into women named Florence and Olive.
The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre performs its eighth season of Script-in-Hand – a series of classic comedies called Exit Laughing.

BRANSON Mo. —
Jason Hughes gets excited when he talks about his family's show.
"When we first came to Branson it was just the Hughes brothers," he said. "Since then, we've added our wives and kids to the show. They are so good."
The Hughes Brothers Show, a Branson staple for more than 17 years, has been reworked and rebranded for the 2012 season.
The newly named "It," a musical variety show, includes Jason Hughes and his four performing brothers, their five wives, a five-piece band and more than 30 of the siblings' children.
"'It' came from us realizing that 'The Hughes Brothers' no longer describes our show," Hughes said. "'It' gives us the freedom to do a lot more. When people hear 'Hughes Brothers' they might have a narrow view of what we do. 'It' leaves it up to the imagination. The show has so many different facets to it. We don't want to pigeon-hole 'It.'"
The show opens with pop favorites, a '50s medley, some classical guitar, a lot of dancing and a little comic relief. The second half of the show brings a little Broadway to the Branson stage.
The brothers' wives, Hughes said, play a big part in the show and are on-stage naturals.
"Our wives are so much faster than we are when it comes to dance steps and learning songs and remembering lyrics," Hughes said. "The brothers have always sung well and we are all musicians. We pick up on musical parts quickly, but remembering the dance steps? They are just so much faster."
With the wide variety of musical styles the Hughes family offers during "It" comes the need for a wide of variety of dance styles.
"The dancing is different in 'It,'" Hughes said. "In the first half we a do a lot of popular stuff and in the second half a lot of Broadway, which lends itself to dancing."
In past incarnations of The Hughes Brothers' show, the brothers dominated the stage. Now, the Hughes wives and children take part in the show's big song and dance production numbers.
"Sometimes we will have 18 to 20 people in a production number," Hughes said. "There are not too many shows in Branson that have that kind of cast, with that many people to pull from."
There are 20 more siblings and children waiting in the wings.
Hughes said it is sometimes a challenge coordinating show rehearsals with so many young performers in the cast.
"It's completely nuts," he said, laughing. "When we have a rehearsal it's mayhem."
The mayhem is worth it, he said, because there is so much talent with which to work.
"I'm amazed all of the time at their talent," he said of the Hughes children. "We've got a whole army of children that are really impressive when it comes to their talent for their age. My son Aaron has been blowing us all away with his incredible voice and he's awesome on the violin."
Kristina Hughes, brother Marty's daughter, writes songs and plays violin. Dallin Hughes, Marty's son, focuses on hip-hop, tap dancing and acrobatics. He plays violin, too.
"He's pretty incredible with all of that stuff," Jason Hughes said of his nephew. "The list just goes on and on."
The Hughes Brothers have come a long way from playing the state fair circuit to their own theater on the Branson strip. It's been a 30-year journey.
"It is so much fun," Hughes said of performing with his extended family. "It's not only fun, it's rewarding. To be able to be with your brothers, and to have your wife there and having seen the children progress, it just makes you proud.
"To be in a place where you can entertain the way that we do and have a family and know you don't have to comprise any of your standards your values."

I'm a little ashamed at my lack of knowledge of Marco Polo, a 13th-century Italian explorer. But there was more to the new White House Theatre's production than a history lesson. It's a great theatrical experience laced with deep lessons and some lesser-known ancient history tossed in.

As the U.K. enters its double-dip recession, its currency continues to grow in strength. What accounts for sterling's as yet unstoppable progress?
By David Turner
The global credit crunch and debt crisis have shattered previous notions of what is and is not considered a safe haven and sterling is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this revolution.
In some ways it seems an unlikely candidate for safe-haven status.
Last week the U.K. officially entered a double-dip recession where output starts to fall again before it has recovered from the last downturn.
Moreover, the government is running a deficit, which is even higher than the worryingly elevated advanced-country average it was equal to 8.7 percent of gross domestic product last year.
Nevertheless, the pound has risen by about 7 percent on a trade-weighted basis since last July. At $1.62 against the greenback on Tuesday, it was up 10 cents, or 7 percent, from a mid-January low. It barely paused for breath on news of the recession resuming its ascent within hours.
What accounts for sterlings as yet unstoppable progress?

I am saddened by these all too obvious political antics. Men, women and children all across the country are losing their medical insurance, many with cancer and other debilitating diseases for which medical treatment is ongoing and mortally necessary. Rather than lifting up and supporting the neediest of our own, little interest is being shown, while new promises are made to future good little voters.
'The Workers Should Take Over the Factory!': Newly-Elected Socialist Has Some Radical Ideas for Seattle

Yeah, that's the ticket! Take over the plant that provides good living wages to its employees and does so much for the local economy. Has no one learned from the auto industry debacle? Seattle – meet Detroit.
Rev. Jesse Jackson Caught on Audio Recording Unleashing in Tirade Against Reagan & U.S. South
November 2, 2013 at 9:28am
Rev. Jesse Jackson's rant to remain relevant is so obvious and misguided. Black genocide is occurring in liberal slaughter houses, er, Planned Parenthood clinics, everyday, nationwide. That, along with black on black crime is doing more to decimate families, neighborhoods and communities than anything else. If Rev. Jackson was a true disciple of Christ, he would use his voice to encourage people in positive ways, not use it as a divisive wedge.

Bill O'Reilly Goes at It With Charles Krauthammer Over President Obama's 'Massive Problem'
October 30, 2013 at 12:23pm
Obama's sycophants see and hear nothing they don't want to see or hear. They don't read and learn about issues on their own, they merely hang on O's every word. He could tell them the sky is black on a bright, sunny day and they would say it must be true because O said it.
'One of the Most Influential People in America' Identifies Bible Verse That He Says Has Disappointed People for 'Generations'
October 30, 2013 at 12:19pm
I see nothing troubling about the Bible verse. With the technology trend, social media, and progressive onslaught in our schools and on our country, coming from every possible direction in society, including our churches, the influence parents have on their children is far, far less than previous generations. Common Core standards and curricula doubles down on "training them up." See also: Ezekial 12:2: Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.

Consider Carefully if You Should Watch the (NSFW) Miley Cyrus SNL Sketch Featuring John Boehner and Michele Bachmann Doing Unspeakable Things
October 7, 2013 at 2:39pm
I wrote to NBC and informed them that this skit finally really crossed the line for me. I've watched SNL for years and years, but will no longer. While they occasionally skewer Dems, their most stinging is always reserved for Repubs, I expect that. The only counter that would be equal to this latest depiction of Republicans, would be Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi delivering sexual favors to Obama….they've crossed the line big time.
News Outlets Flocking to New Obamacare Enrollee Who's 'So Freakin' Excited'…but There's a Catch

In reply to biohazard23.
I feel sorry for this young man and so many others like him; not enough common sense or life experience to think for themselves or do any research on their own. The bottom line is this: you cannot add layers and layers of rules, regulations and administration between you, your Dr. and the insurance company and expect costs to go down.

Correction, Sen. Reid, the House CAN pick and choose. All money bills begin in the HOUSE. You (the Senate) do not get to control the purse strings, although you clearly desperately want to.

Wall Street,
You paranoid delusions of Israel facing an existential threat is not even reflected in majority Israeli opinion. Israel has the second largest standing army in the world. It has the fifth largest nuclear arsenal in the world. It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with per capita GDP equivalent to that of an industrialized country. In contrast, Palestinians are a group of brutalized and terrorized people who live in what can only be described as vast prison camps with a fraction of the amenities that Israel provides to its Jewish immigrant population. For any impartial observer (read Jimmy Carter, Yuri Avnery, reports of human rights abuses by B'Tselem and Peace Now - two Israeli peace organizations), this is not a policy of defence but a continued policy of population removal. The question remains whether Israel is truly seeking peace or whether it is looking to remove the population of Palestinians under a policy espoused so eloquently by Monachem Begin - "We will treat them like dogs until they leave!"
The land where Israel sits was predominantly Palestinian before Jewish settlers landed in droves at the turn of the century following the brutality of European persecution that culminated in the Holocaust. My question is this. If the land of Israel has always been a land of great significance for Christians, Muslims, and Jews who have always lived here side by side, then why was it necessary to set up a sanctuary for the Jews in this land? Why can this land not be a multicultural democracy that respects all faiths and people rather than a Jewish land that treats Christian and Muslim Palestinians as second and even thrid class citizens with few rights? This is a policy that was recently put forward by the second class Palestinian citizens of Israel and is a demand that many Jews make when they are living in other countries around the world like the United States. If Jews wanted a homeland to feel safe, then surely a place in Europe, where the idea of a Jewish homeland came to the fore, would be more apt. The land where Israel now sits as a Jewish home could then be used to respect all religions and people who have a long history in the area.
James, beside when you say Israel took some land which does belong to them, always do not forget to say that this was a consquence of war AGAINST Israel. It is very important fact that people should not forget.
There is an element of truth in Omar Ibrahim. That is that Israel has no incentive to make peace. However, the reasons for that are that they hold the upper hand in terms of military and economic strength. The Arab worlds' attack on Israel in 48 and 67 removed any possibility of reconciliation for Israelis and Palestinians. It's the 5% of Israelis and Palestinians that are bent on killing the other side that will preclude any lasting peace. Until the 95% take control and put the zealots in jail.
That isn't going to happen in my lifetime. Get over the building of the wall(s). They have saved lives and provide a starting point for the definition of borders. Israel is not going to give up territory. A potential Palestine homeland will get smaller and smaller until WestBank Palestinians agree to the borders Israel dictates. Even the Israelis feel that Gaza is not worth fighting over.
One last thing, Nikster. You go around slapping people with offensive terms like "apartheid", "colonizing", "torture" and so on and I'm the one that's "hyper sensitive"????
I don't know where you're from and I don't care, but trust me, if I did I would find your buttons to push, then we'll see if you too are "hyper sensitive"...
So yeah, I admit, I'm hyper sensitive when people insult me, call me names, lie to my face and spread vicious rumors about me. Now isn't that silly...
The problem with your reasoning is the underlying assumption that it is Israel who is choosing the situation in which it is. However, it is Israel who has tried times and again to extend the hand of peace to its neighbors and has been rebuffed. Indeed, the mere existence of the Israeli organization you mention, such as B T'selem, shows that Israel is trying its best to live up to its standard of being an example to all people.
When the enemies of Israel, of which you are clearly part, decide to accept Israel as a partner in peace, they will find peace.
Reading the comments posted by Nikster, I would like to make the following points:
1- I serioulsy doubt Israel has the second largest army in the world. Have you checked China, Russia, the US and other large countries?
2- The fact that Israel has a successful economy and a high per capita GDP doesn't mean it's not subject to the threat of annihilation. After all, Israel proper is only 22 miles or so across... and it's been attacked several times.
3- Why is Israel the only country threatened with destruction? unless I'm mistaken, a country as far away as Iran, which shares no border with Israel, has threatened repeatedly Israel with destruction. Indeed, it's not the only one, many others don't show Israel on the map. Shouldn't the Jewish people, who's faced this threat repeatedly, take these seriously? aren't the people making them serious?
4- Just like the State of Israel has a large minority population, couldn't the Palestianian state have a minority population of Jews? What's the difference?
5- Why the constant demonization of Israel from people who are silent or ignorant of much worse conditions in many countries? Have you checked Chechnia lately? do you know what's happening to gays in Iran? Could it be related to the constant demonization of Jews?
In other words, Nikster, you and many such critics of Israel demonstrate a level of animosity which clearly goes beyond the rational, which is the indication something is wrong with you and the hatred you exhibit. Facing people such as yourself, but armed, is exactly why Israel is being super cautious. It is indeed a wonder that they were ready again and again to relinquish territory in exchange for promises of peace.
how about children in Israel, why dont you mention them?
Do you think they guilty because Palestinians live in misery?
Why they use Gaza solely for shooting rockets, would not it better to build some infrastructure instead of buying weapon.
What a waste of time to argue with nikster.
James, starting from UN resolution to create an Israel, they live constantly under threat to be destroyed. Look at those wars initiated by arabs.
Yes those land were annexed as a result of those wars.
I think Israel has its right to defend themselves. In addition Israel expressed its willingness to give the land in exchange for peace.
Some of those territories are kept for safety of Israel, for example Golan Heights. If they give it back, imagine how many rockets would fly from Syria.
For example Israel gave Gaza back to Palestinians and what now? Now they use Gaza to throw rockets into Israel.
The problem here is a bit dipper than just these territories. That's why peace negotiations dropped dead so many times. In fact some arab nations still want to destroy Israel and Palestinians are used as their tool fighting against Israel. They need someone oppressed (Palestinians in this case) to show that Israel is bad.
You should not count who make errors and how many. The conflict will go for indefinite untill Palestinians change their direction of where they want to move.
Fighting is the wrong direction, they have not achieved anything in the last 60 years. They really don't learn any lessons.
As Golda Meir once said: there will be a peace only when they start to love their children more than they hate Israel. There is a lot in these words.
I appreciate that piece of information. As I said, I really don't know enough about the history and perhaps my comments should have been very specific. I meant that the majority of archaelogical and anthropological evidence to date shows no sign of an Ancient Israel as depicted in the Bible (I'm referring to the First Temple era). There are definitely independent sources such as the Mesha stele. My contention is only that, outside of the bible (clearly not a reliable source), there is very little evidence of an Ancient 'United' Israel of the David and Solomon fame. David and Solomon were quite likely (pagan) chieftains given that the discovery of inscriptions near Hebron and Sinai, dated 800 BCE that read: "Blessed by Yahweh and his Asherah" (Asherah was a Semitic goddess). Also, so-called Israel was never united but rather three distinct and quarrelling regions: Judaea, Samaria (Samaritans) and Galilee (source of the Palestinian Talmud). Lastly, there is no direct evidence from any Ancient United Israel in the form of words. There is no literature recorded from that era which suggests a lack of state formation and insufficient social development.
As I noted, whatever one believes, I think it inappropriate to use the Bible or any book to determine legal land ownership issues. The state of israel that currently exists should consider itself a new state created 60 years ago and should be treated as such. What may or may not have happened thousands of years ago is irrelevant because history can always be extended and one can start discussing the Canaanites and Philistines and all the pre-Hebrew residents of the area which obviously becomes problematic.
I believe you and I have digressed completely now but I enjoyed the little trip down history lane.
James in Canberra,
first of all I criticised Omar's comment and nothing else, read more carefully.
Why don't you say to Omar that he is taking only side of Palestinians??
second I am criticising Arab nations who grabbed part of Palestinian land but everyone is silent on this issue. I am criticising Arab nations who are willing to donate money to buy weapon for Palestinians but at the same time not willing to help them in any other way. Palestinians problem is that they always waiting for help from others rather than trying to achieve something themselves. Do you really think that without Israel in a region will be peace in Middle East? Look at recent events in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah movements fighting each other in Palestine or for example Iran v Iraq war.
Israel is 60 years old and what they achieved is really phenomenal, its country of high living standards, democracy not less than in your Australia, leader in technology and medicine. Only people with strong determination and strong will are capable of doing this, and I just simply admire them!!
The whole problem is a very entangled mess with stupidities and mistakes on both sides. I think an important step is sitting down and realizing that each side has legitimate reasons to be mad. For the Arabs, the Zionist Jews came in and forcibly took over land that at the time was not theres. That event is still in living memory to many older Arabs, and passed down to their children and grand children. I don't see how anyone can't see the obvious reason to be pissed off about that. Israel's first prime minister said it himself "If I were an Arab leader, I wouldn't forgive us." Then, the Arabs attacked Israel a bunch of times and mostly got whooped, and I think that anyone can see how the Israelis might be mad about that and be a little less disposed to trust their neighbors. Even nowadays, both Israel and Palestine (at least the WB) seem to agree in principal that there needs to be two states, yet the PA only directly control 3% of the West Bank and 0% of the Gaza Strip (thanks to Hamas), and Palestinian extremists continue to lob poorly constructed rockets onto Israeli territory. Both neglect to look at basic facts. The Jews won back Israel fair and square, just like the Romans beat the Jews, the and the Arabs beat whoever was there after the Romans. They need to acknowledge the fact that no matter what they do, Israel is going to be there. The Israelis need to face facts on their Palestinian problem. They can't make it a part of Israel, as they would soon loose the Jewish majority, nor do they really want the two territories. Nor can they reasonably expect a largely defunct PA to be able to control trained, experienced and well hidden terrorists launching homemade rockets. Injecting religious rights to be there is more ridiculous. They all have holy places and whatnot, as each side seems to be capable of making lengthy (albeit largely irrelevant) arguments based on religious rights, which by the way always leads to trouble. Life's problems are best viewed by sober, unbiased analysis. So take this from a non-believing American with neither Jewish nor Arab background. They're all stuck in a seemingly endless loop of pissing each other off based of certain delusions. The Israelis that there's a point to staying in the WB and Gaza, and the Palestinians that launching primitive rockets gets them anything but more trouble from the Israelis and that if they close their eyes and hope real hard Israel will just go away. Israel, let them go and stop blowing things up. Palestine, stop looking for a military solution against a force far, far, far, far superior than anything you can muster. It is always possible to get along, you just need to try and be honest and realistic.
Wall Street,
Your post is the perfect illustration of the saying, "A case of the pot calling the kettle black," I do beleive. In all your posts supporting Israel, I have never once seen you criticise it, only the Palestinians. If I were to say that Israel commits offenses and takes land that doesn't belong to it, and the Palestinians hurl rockets at Haifa, would you agree with me?
omar Ibrahim,
Well said Sir, I second your thoughts.
James, I looked at comments people left in The Australian. Its no secret people dont like Jews but these kind of comments are shocking. In a country wich is build on immigrants I would expect a bit more civilised coments. Indeed only people with IQ lower than a room temperature could make such comments.
Another comment from Nikster is addressed to you. Once again dont see much logic in his/her comment. At least he knows definition of apartheid but quite mistaken as he does not know where to apply the definition.
Forcible transfer of population, labour exploitation, mass murder. Sorry but the guy has no idea what he is talking about. It is hard to talk/argue with such people because everything is documented. :)
No worries. Any time.
For an interesting take on the Israel/Palestine debate from the perspective of a left-leaning Australian Jew, check out this link. http://blogs.theaustralian.news.com.au/yoursay/index.php/theaustralian/c...
It includes a comments blog also, to give you some idea of the intellectual level of debate surrounding the issue in my country. As you will see, particularly on the Palestinian side, the level is quite low.
As far as the Spanish wall is concerned, I was completely unaware of this even happenning. I guess that reflects the reporting priorities of the Australian media more than anything else. However, in Australia a healthy debate seemed to revolve around the issue of the Israeli wall. In my view, if it is on Israeli land then they have the sovereign right to build whatever they want. Those who criticise Israel for its wall, but not others for their walls are more likely to be biased, or perhaps guilty of using selective evidence to justify pre-conceived ideas, than actual racism. If accusations of racism arise every time Israel is criticised, this simply stifles debate. So yes, the situation you describe is unfair, certainly. But to say that those making these arguments are simply racists only inflames the issue, making it an emotive one, rather than refuting it on the basis which you have in your post. To answer your question, I believe that one can be against certain aspects of Israeli policy without being an anti-semite, and their ignorance (willful or otherwise) of the similar actions of others does not make them a racist.
And Nikster, there is no such thing as justice and fairness in international relations. Only the pursuit of state policy in an anarchic international arena. That is the illogical part of your argument. Morality and "rightness" have nothing to do with the issues at hand.
Wall Street,
And you see no errors on Israel's behalf? This is a knife that cuts both ways - concessions need to be made on both sides. The ball is constantly changing courts - sometimes the Palestinians need to act, sometimes Israel. To say that one cannot criticise Israel without criticising everyone else is ridiculous.
I had not read Nikster's arguments, but I have now and, as you say, his points are illogical. Nonetheless, the grounds on which your early criticisms were based was that he/she had criticised Israel but not Jordan, or the Palestinians, or whatever else. This is political correctness in its worst form. As an Australian academic, I know just how stifling political correctness can be to academic debate,l and it does nothing to advance knowledge in any meaningful sense. Political correctness is particularly stifling in regard to the current debate. Take for instance John Mearsheimer and Walt's recent book. As an international relations specialist, I saw no problems with their methodology, evidence, or their overall thesis. They were attacked as anti-semites, racisms and so on for the book however. Why stifle debate like this? Are they hiding something? That has certainly been the case in the debate surrounding Aboriginal Australians, where for many years political correctness reigned supreme. Now that era is mostly over, and some serious skeletons have emerged from the closet. It turns out that the political correctness has been masking a quagmire or sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, and welfare dependency. The last thing the state of Israel needs, or Jewish people more generally, are for their issues to be hidden by this cloak of political correctness, which stifles academic debate, enquiry and criticism. That is my point.
James, you can criticise whoever you want Israel, Palestine etc. I am against unlogical comments like Nikster for example, where he pull some words from the context. What I am trying to say is that until hamas is going to shoot rockets, send people to blow themselves, until all financial support from Syria, Iran to buy weapon stops nothing will be achieved in that region. After 60 years people must realise that their tactics does not work. By continuing this tactics they drag themselves so down where there is no return.
Look at king Hussein from Jordan who used to fight against Israel but then understood that this is wrong, they are not achieving anything. Or look at Egypt. Israel returned Egyptian land after a peace treaty in 1979. After that I do not see or hear any threat from Egypt. If they want they can live in peace?!
At the end 40's Jordan & Egypt occupied part of Palestinian land, however I don't recall any complain from Palestinians.
Palestinians could achieve what they wanted but they have chosen another way and unfortunately the wrong one.

The ovaries of 113 Pontoporia blainvillei (Franciscana dolphin) were examined and their characteristics related to season, body length of the animals and, in some individuals, foetal length. The following conclusions were drawn from the results: most females attain sexual maturity when they reach 136–146 cm body length; most conceptions occur in the period December to February, with a peak in the first half of January; usually only one ovulation occurs, and no animal ovulated more than twice, in a season; postpartum ovulation may occur, and evidence is presented that this is probably followed by conception and that animals may breed once a year but most females breed every other year; body length at birth is greater than 70 cm and less than 85 cm, and probably nearer the smaller figure; the gestation period is 10.5–12 months (depending on what is the actual figure for length at birth, but probably less than 11 months); lactation lasts at least nine months; the corpus luteum contains two morphologically distinct, but apparently functional cell types; there is no apparent morphological difference between corpora lutea which are not associated with pregnancy, and corpora lutea of pregnancy; corpora albicantia may persist for a maximum of four years before being reabsorbed completely.

MoS2, Gold Nanoparticles Combine for "Diverse Applications"
IEEE Spectrum reported that researchers at Kansas State University have combined molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) with gold nanoparticles; they believe that together, the materials can be used in "diverse applications such as transistors and biochemical sensors."
As quoted in the market news:
The research, which was published in the journal NanoLetters ('Controlled, Defect-Guided, Metal-Nanoparticle Incorporation onto MoS2 via Chemical and Microwave Routes: Electrical, Thermal, and Structural Properties'), focused on the surface structure of MoS2. The team decided that MoS2′s strong chemical bond with noble metals, like gold, could be an avenue for investigation.
They were not disappointed. They quickly discovered that once a bond had been established between the MoS2 and gold nanostructures, the bond behaved like a highly coupled gate capacitor. Following on this discovery, the Kansas State team was able to further enhance the transistor characteristics of MoS2 by manipulating it with the gold nanostructures.
'The spontaneous, highly capacitive, lattice-driven and thermally-controlled interfacing of noble metals on metal-dichalcogenide layers can be employed to regulate their carrier concentration, pseudo-mobility, transport-barriers and phonon-transport for future devices,' Vikas Berry, a professor at Kansas State and a leader of the research, said in a press release.

''Thanks for coming out on a Monday night,'' said Mac McCaughan of Superchunk, onstage at the Bowery Ballroom. ''I wore my purple pants for the occasion.''
This little nod was the only reference Mr. McCaughan, the guitarist and singer, made to the milestone Superchunk's Monday and Tuesday shows celebrated: the 10th anniversary of Merge Records, run by Mr. McCaughan and his band mate the bassist Laura Ballance. Such modesty has been important to the survival of the scene he and his band have cultivated.
That scene, indie rock, advocates chasing a new kind of rock dream: to become not superstars but self-employed successes, playing the music they love without having to burn out or fade away. Bands like Superchunk have turned their passion for unpolished but ambitious rock into sustainable careers within a worldwide network of fellow artists and entrepreneurs who run and promote their own record labels, allowing artists to develop their esthetics separate from the demands of the corporate mainstream.

Located on the west coast, Patong Beach is the most popular beach in Phuket. This two-kilometre-long beach offers everything from water sports and massages to food and drinks. The nightlife selection is infinite, including the famous Soi Bangla with its numerous bars, neon lights, and night clubs; dining along cliff-side restaurants with views of the coast, or at the two Thai food courts on Rat-U-Thit Road. The beach transforms into a night bazaar nightly, packed with colourful stalls selling beach wears and leather goods.

"Good location, small and quiet"
A small pleasant hotel more than a resort. Pool access rooms are lovely with great bathroom. Hotel is very clean and staff friendly. The location is good if you like to be a little bit away from the noise and chaos of Bangla but still close enough to walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants and shops. Pool is not big but most of the time was empty […] so not a problem. Plenty of tuktuks and taxis out the front. Also good massages and a laundry straight across the road. Buffet breakfast was good food but tea and coffee could be better. Would stay here again based on value for money,rooms and location. Not the place for you if you prefer a huge resort in the middle of the action. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

The staff were wonderful, the room was great very comfy although my wife found […] the bed a bit hard for her. We had a pool entry room which was awesome and the pool was great.

Very friendly staff, nice room and a lovely clean pool. Having the pool access room meant swim in the morning and at night without having to traipse through the hotel. The shower was good with both a rainfall rose and a separate handheld shower in the same large cubicle - big enough for two! The manager was very helpful and allowed us to check in four […] hours early at no extra cost. As we were celebrating a birthday, he also arranged for 'Happy Birthday' to be spelt out in flower petals on the bed next to two white origami swans which was very cute. The hotel is well placed, being a 5 minute walk from the beach and 15 minutes from the livelier part of town. Couldn't really fault the place - we had a great time!

The hotel is situated a little away from the main drag...which was what we wanted. The river/creek that the hotel backs on to isn't the prettiest an can smell a little at times...but so does the rest of Patong so it's nothing new. Breakfast is ok...it's situated near the pool and flows to an outdoor area so there is no air con and can be very hot and […] humid depending on the wearer outside. The first two days we had no hot water but the staff were very helpful and did there best to get the problem fixed...what more can you do. Hotel and rooms are very clean. I took advantage of the hotels day spa which was lovely although massages on the street are a quarter of the price. Was good to have use of the pool/beach towels.

i will never stay at this hotel again. there is a top quality hotel 100 yards down the street towards the beach which is way nicer and cleaner than this place. they are built next to a open sewer which they claim is a river but NO IT'S NOT!! and they serve breakfast by the sewer so it you're eating your food while smelling the foul odor. as well with […] the pool, its difficult to relax by the pool when the sewer is right behind it and all you can smell is the dirty smell of the sewer. The hotel charged me for two people to stay in the hotel but when my wife and I tried to eat breakfast the first day there, we were denied since there was only one person reserved for the room. then the hotel is saying i'll have to pay another 3,000 BAHT or $100 to add my wife to the room so we can eat breakfast. I told them to stick it! and we ended up grabbing breakfast elsewhere during our stay there for a fraction of what the hotel was asking. all in all, if you want a cheap place to stay while you're there with no customer service quality and terrible hotel features, this hotel is it. or spend a little more and get in on the holiday inn or one of the local hotels or resorts for top quality service and accommodations. To top it all off, there were pieces of tiles missing from the floor and and walls of the bathroom. We had friends stay in several rooms of the hotel and they can back me up 100% on this.

"If you insist on staying in Phuket, stay here"
Against advice, we decided to stay in Phuket, a very tourist-filled, young, loud, night-life scene. However, after a very "rustic" stay several days prior, we were more than happy w/ accommodations here. We arrived late in the evening & were warmly greeted w/ handed shirley temples (great first impression). Our room for 3 people had a poolside view […] & was very spacious, clean & modern, w/ a huge bathroom easily fitting all 3 at once (major plus). The hotel is set inward from the main road, so it was nice we couldn't hear the noise of the street, which is good because I am a super light sleeper. The street has several street vendors & restaurants to choose from. Massages were 50% off, which was maybe 200 baht more than the street stores (about 5-10 on the same street within 5 min walking distance), & if still 50% off, def go w/ the hotel because it is infinitely better in experience & quality. Breakfast was included in our stay & was a good selection of Western & Asian mixes. By the second day however, we were a bit sick of it, but nothing is really open, so you are best sticking to this before you head out for the day. The beach is about a 10 min walk, but very crowded & touristy, best to lounge at the hotel or go to a more northern quiet beach if you don't include any excursions on your trip. I would give this place a 4.5 star & would highly recommend IF you have to stay in Patong. If you don't enjoy loud-nightlife, you might want to stay at a different location.

"Blue Ocean Resort and Spa"
The hotel is far from the main attractions such as Bangla road and the beach. Transportation is difficult to get in the area because none of the tuk tuk drivers will bargain down the price and cabs don't care about bargaining either. They know your stuck without them. The hotel was falling apart. The walls in the hallways had big holes that had been […] bolted with ply wood. The room smelled of mould and well goop! Room didn't get cleaned till I had to phone reception at 4pm the next day. The hotel deal said free minibar but then they charge you for stuff because they failed to clearly identify that it's not free only water and chips were free haha! Everything else is thrown in the mix so u consume it and then they bring out this secret bill that says well only a couple items were free.

"Great Hotel in a Great Location"
I stayed here for 10 days, and was very happy with the hotel and it's location. It is about a 15 minute walk to Patong Beach or to Bangla Road. Also has numerous things around the hotel that are helpful (legitimate massage parlor, pharmacy, laundry services, barber shop, etc. The hotel itself was great. Recommaned a room with pool access directly from […] your balcony. The pool closes kinda early (1900 supposedly), but you normally saw people in it after that. I think as long as you aren't having a huge pool party in the middle of the night, they are pretty accomodating in that regards. Cleanliness and design of the room was excellent. If available, would gladly book this hotel every time I came to Phuket to visit! Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com
"Great Hotel - Great Value"
I picked this hotel to stay for 2 nights after I finished a liveaboard scuba diving trip. The rooms were large and very modern and updated with some latest technology. All the lights could be controlled by a panel right next to the bed so you don't have to get up to turn them off. Balcony in each room to dry off swimsuits. The hotel is off the main […] area so it's nice and quiet. There's convenience stores and restaurants nearby. It's a very short walk (just a couple blocks) to get to Patong Beach. The hotel had very friendly staff who spoke English. When I was leaving the hotel and it was starting to rain - the car attendant at the hotel gave me an umbrella to use while I was away - so I didn't have to go all the way up back to my room! Friendly staff - modern rooms - great amenities. [Pool + free breakfast + spa] Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gests á Hotels.com

"Patong's Saving Grace"
After spending a couple nights in Thailand that lacked some of the cleanliness of hotels that I am used to, our arrival at the Blue Ocean Resort was a real treat! The staff was kind (though their English was not quite on par with other hotels in the country), the perks (free snacks and drink in the room, great breakfast, coupons for nearby businesses) […] were many, and the pool was beautiful and a wonderful break from the busy beaches with people constantly trying to sell you things. This was actually the best hotel I've stayed at in a very long time. The downside though is the area itself. Patong Beach is a very popular destination but we found the area off-putting. Its very hard to get around due to astronomical taxi fares on Phuket, you are constantly harassed to buy things, and there are plenty of shady customers working the streets around the nightlife who are more than happy to trick you out of your money. A much more pleasant stay can be found on the nearby Ko Phi Phi island. The beaches are better there too.

Pool access room was AMAZING! Staff at reception and throughout the hotel were beyond helpful and friendly. The variety at breakfast was average but delicious. Hotel overall was a pleasure, very quiet and relaxing. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Patong! 100% satisfied!Ósvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia

"Great on rooms/service/staff, fail on WiFi"
The hotel didn't look like much from the street, but as soon as you walk up the stairs you realize it is a very nice hotel. The pool area is VERY nice, and very pleasing to the eye as well. The staff wasn't too bad, all questions I had seemed to get referred to the same woman, which was fine, but I think if she wasn't there they may have been clueless. My […] only issue was that the WiFi service doesn't work in the rooms. I was on the 5th floor, and couldn't even log into to it on my laptop, or phone. I called the front desk however, and they brought me a LAN cable to connect to the wall. So it really wasn't an issue but is something I would have liked to know to expect in advance. Besides that, it was an excellent stay, and one of the coolest hotel rooms I have been in. Lesa meiraÓsvikin umsögn gesta á Expedia
