OK, where were we? Oh ya, Mike Leach is in the Inland Northwest, arriving Monday afternoon by private plane in Spokane. He'll be in Pullman most of the day today before flying over the Seattle this evening. Read on.
• Washington State: Leach's trip to the Palouse will be quick and crowded. Then he should be back after a week or so to stay. The meet-and-great in the CUB ballroom at noon is open to the public and I expect it to be crowded. The Seattle event tonight is a true press conference, as the public isn't invited. We'll check in after the Pullman circus. … Leach has made one confirmed hire (by Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez), former Texas Tech and Arizona recruiting coordinator Dave Emerick has left the Wildcats and will be in Pullman soon. … The Cougars seem to be on Jake Heaps' radar, as the former Skyline quarterback announced Monday he's leaving BYU. But looking at WSU's roster, it seems Heaps, after sitting out a year, would just be stepping into another crowd in Pullman, and would be battling Connor Halliday and, if he signs, Austin Apodaca for playing time. More than likely it would be just as hard, if not harder, for Heaps to earn the starting spot at WSU than it is as BYU.
• Around the Pac-10: ESPN.com's Ted Miller assesses the first year of the Pac-12. … Oregon booted former star cornerback and punt returner Cliff Harris off the team Monday after learning of a marijuana citation in Fresno after Thanksgiving. … Both Arizona State, which seem to be still after June Jones of SMU, and UCLA, which is being turned down by everyone, remain in the coaching market. … Once again, Stanford has a Heisman Trophy finalist. Is this the year for a win? … Oregon State's recruiting is heating up. … On the basketball court, the Beavers are playing as well as anyone in the conference. … UCLA, on the other hand, isn't. … Washington is in the midst of a tough road trip.
• That's it for this morning. I had a great couple days with Kim and realized once again how lucky I am. Now it's back to a little more than three-week sprint to the end, starting today. Until later …

GOING indoors
Dear Dr. Fox:

GOING indoors
Dear Dr. Fox:
I bought a Maltese puppy for my great-granddaughter. The dog is about 3 years old.
He was very difficult to train, as I've heard this breed is. He has now started to urinate and defecate in the house.
We take him out, but he still urinates in the house. We keep him confined to the kitchen now because he has urinated on the TV stand, recliner, coffee table, etc. I can't get rid of him because my great-granddaughter is so attached to him.
P.S., Chesapeake, Va.
DF: Maltese terriers and other small breeds do seem to have a higher incidence of cognitive impairment when it comes to toilet training, especially compared with other breeds.
This urination activity in your home calls for some analysis. If he is straining and having difficulty or pain while urinating, your dog might have a urinary tract or bladder infection or stones. A veterinary checkup is then urgently needed.
If he is raising his leg and marking, this could be hormone-related territorial behavior. There's also the probability that it could be anxiety-driven if there is some cause for emotional stress in his environment. Ask yourself whether he is anxious for some reason, and address that problem. Is he taken out frequently enough? Does he need more attention and physical activities?
It could also be a habit triggered by the residual scent where he has urinated before. Use an enzyme cleaner on all soiled areas. Let him out of his kitchen confinement on a long leash and harness for control. Pull him up short as soon as he sniffs and readies to urinate. Carry him outside and put him on a pad already marked with his urine (or place it in the kitchen). Be sure to give lots of praise and a treat after he urinates.
Many small breeds are amenable to urination pad training (which is a blessing for apartment living). Check out thepetloo.com for an indoor toilet system for small dogs.
Medication problems
Dear Dr. Fox:
I lost my German shepherd/chow mix and my Great Dane/Lab mix to cancer within months of each other last year. I immediately adopted Buddy, a 4-month-old golden retriever/Lab mix, from a no-kill shelter because I love big black dogs, and I know they have a horrible time finding homes.
I took him to the vet because he had a sore on his back leg and one on his penis. I wanted to make sure that he did not have ringworm. (He didn't.) The vet looked at some skin scrapings under a microscope and told me that he had a bacterial infection. She prescribed cephalexin. Buddy got diarrhea almost immediately after taking the medicine. His stool wavered between soft and loose. I stopped the cephalexin and called the vet. The vet put him on PVD FortiFlora Canine. The next day, his vet was off duty, but another vet put him on metronidazole. The stools were firmer after five days, so I stopped the pills.
After 24 hours, the soft/loose stools returned. I put him back on the metronidazole for several days. I called the vet to renew the prescription, and this vet informed me that the normal dosage should have been four times the amount I had been prescribed, so she changed that for him.
He was perfectly fine until the cephalexin. One of the vets suggested he be examined again, but I am not sure what good this would do. I seem to get different answers depending on which vet I speak to that day. I gave Buddy probiotics all of this time. Can you help?
K.W., Imperial, Mo.
DF: I am shocked that the veterinarian prescribed such a powerful oral drug as cephalexin rather than treating the skin infection with a topical ointment.
Clearly, the cephalexin wiped out some of the beneficial bacteria in your dog's digestive tract, causing dysbiosis or bacterial population imbalance. The corrective treatments prescribed were appropriate.
I would give your dog a good-quality probiotic twice daily, along with a prebiotic such as inulin (not insulin) and digestive enzymes. Herbal preparation of marshmallow root, chamomile, aloe vera and cramp bark might help alleviate the diarrhea. Glutamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, lecithin and montmorillonite clay or calcium aluminosilicate are all potential remedies for this kind of diarrhea.
Avoid food with soy or grain. For more details, including my home-prepared dog food and treat recipes and a dog food quality scoring system, check my Web site, www.drfoxvet.com.

If you've ever been in a long-term relationship, you're familiar with the drill. Things start out hot and heavy, begin to wane after a couple of years and then, when you've finally been exposed to every messy crevice of your partner's psyche and are on a hair-trigger about even the most innocuous of his/her behaviors, you begin to wonder whether you should just scrap the wholemarriage thing and start over with someone else. Many do just that, forgetting that they themselves are the common denominator in every one of their own failed relationships. Of course there are those who stick it out—for the kids, because of tradition or faith, or out of simple laziness. However, if you desire more than mediocre out of your marriage, you're going to have to do better than either giving up or giving in. Or, as Kris Jenner, famous mother of an erstwhile litter of wealthy socialites named Kardashian (as well as the current wife of former Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner) puts it, "You have to find ways to spice it up to keep feeding the fire and keep monotony out of monogamy."
You've probably already heard that scheduling "date nights" is one way to get your relationship back on track. While once-a-week dates are a great way for many couples to work time together into their schedules, they can lack the careless abandon that made the relationship exciting in the first place. In addition to a lack of spontaneity, date nights can become just another "task" if couples aren't careful. The same case can be made against prescribed "couples events" such as Valentine's Day or anniversaries. Forget everything you've heard—what makes relationships great isn't routine; it's the element of surprise. Take a "snow day" off work occasionally to reconnect or, better yet, rent a hotel room and disappear for an entire weekend together. Surprises can be simple gestures as well, says Dana Hilmer, founder of LifestyleMom.com and author of Blindsided by a Diaper. She recommends getting out of the sweats and wearing something sexy once in a while.
A diamond may be forever, but if you want to give your betrothed a truly priceless gift, you best make it personal. Putting a little effort into the presents you exchange shows you care in ways that all the lingerie, electronic gadgets and jewelry in the world can never convey. I once worked with a woman whose boyfriend slipped tiny, postage-sized paintings he'd done in with her lunch every morning. As you might imagine, there was nearly as much swooning as eating come noontime. Charles Orlando, author of The Problem with Women… is Men, bought an unusual jar, hand-painted it and spent the next two weeks filling it with "1,000 reasons why I love her" written on slips of paper. Then he surprised his wife with it as a gift. "That jar sits on our mantle," he says. "She regards it as the best gift she's ever received."
Every couple has a story that makes their relationship special. Go over yours with your partner and surround yourself with visible reminders. "Review your meeting, courtship, wedding and early marriage often," says Lois Tschetter Hjelmstad, author of This Path We Share: Reflecting on 60 Years of Marriage. She suggests intermingling photos of your early days along with all the kid's photos as one way to remind yourselves that you were a couple before you were a family. Also, the more you tell your story of "us" to others, the more you'll fall back on it during the tough times. Some people may roll their eyes or mock vomit, but it's important to realize they're only doing it because they're jealous. Raise your voice, reinforce your story and stick to it. Reminding each other of your history together, sharing it with others and defending it until death do us part is one of the best ways to keep monotony at bay. Says Tschetter Hjelmstad, "Remembering what drew you together helps you stay crazy-in-love." And, after all, isn't crazy in love the best way to spend until death do us part?

Cherry Coke - Milky Way [Download]
Heard this track yesterday from a good friend for the first time. It's '
Milky Way
' by the fairly unknown producer
Cherry Coke
. Although the track sounds a lot like it could be made by
, this is definitely a solid, melodic progressive house track, which is among one of my favorites. While the tune has been released for quite some time on
Grooveland Records
, it just started to catch popularity. Instant download, check it out!

Excellent product
Do you plan to add the ability to index smb shares? How can I help?
This is HUGE -- exceptional piece of software
I've recently changed from Windows to Kubuntu. I
tried beagle, I tried strigi, I tried google desktop
search. Non of the search tools were even close
to what I wanted.
I was quite frustrated and was already trying to
run old versions of CopernicDesktopSearch (the
tool I liked best when I ran Windows) in Wine.
But now the pain is over! Recoll is so much better
than any of those other solutions! I haven't used
it a lot, but it looks extremely powerful, so far!
Give it a try.
I've followed the versions from 1.1 up to present 1.7.5. The latest is much better even than the early versions - recommended to anyone!
Thanks. It works even better!
I was first put onto recoll by people on a Mandriva Expert mailing list and have found it genuinely good, unfussy, fast and not greedy in its demands on CPU and memory.
The further developments which I believe will be in version 1.5 are extremely valuable. I look forward to its appearing.
Re: thanks, it works!
> Release 1.1.0 is supposed to fix the case-sensitivity issue.
Whaaah, thanks -- it works indeed 8-) Rolling out updated packages for both latest stable and unstable :-)

Product Type: Tesco dog food

Advantages: Dogs liked them
Disadvantages: Made by Mars, quite a small packet, not great value for money, packet not resealable
Like 99.9% of the dog population, my four dogs are absolutely food mad. They will eat almost anything which is why I am forever picking up new treats for them to try - they're spoilt! I came across these particular treats a few weeks ago now and I decided to pick a packet up as they were cheap and they seemed like something my dogs would enjoy. The bright packaging also attracted me to them as I've found that most brands of dog treats have quite basic colour schemes and branding.
These treats are vailable from quite a few different places including a range of supermarkets and pet shops as well as a few online retailers including Amazon. I actually got mine from B&M and at 89 pence they seemed like a bargain - I've just had a quick look online to see what the retail price is for the purpose of this review and I was suprised to see that they usually retail at around £1.30 per 180 gram packet. This isn't very good value in my opinion considering that I can easily get a 500 gram box of similar treats from Tesco, and a packet of these only lasts for a few days. All of my dogs are medium-large though and if you have a small dog a packet will obviously last for longer.
The treats come in a packet which kind of resembles a bag of crisps; it's the same around the size and shape and it's bright green. The packet needs cutting open and it is not re-sealable, which I found was a disadvantage because these do smell quite strongly and they are also quite small so if they spill out of the packet it can be time consuming picking them back up again. The branding is good and the photographs of the three different breeds of dogs is a nice touch and there's also a photo of the treats meaning that you can see what you get before making a purchase decision. The front of the packet has the product name on it in large writing over a red background and it also states in smaller writing that the treats are 'mouth waterring morsels' which are free of artificial colours or flavours.
The treats themselves are quite small biscuit type treats which are quite flaky and they have quite a meaty texture to them rather than a hard, biscuit texture if that makes sense. All of my dogs worked hard for these treats so they obviously smelt good to them and they all gobbled them down as soon as I gave them one, licking their lips and begging around for more afterwards. The treats are the type that is gone within a second of giving it to your dog(s) so if you want a treat that will keep your dog occupied eg a chewy or hard treat, these aren't at all appropiate due to the small size as well as the easy to chew texture.
These treats are made by Mars, which I didn't realise until right this very second while looking at the back of the packet while writing this review. Unfortunately, this has totally put me off of these and I will not be re-purchasing them due to the cruel experiments that Mars conduct on a range of animals. If animal testing does not bother you though then I'd recommend these - my dogs loved them and although they're not great value for money, as long as you use them as training rewards rather than giving your dog handfuls of them at a time a packet should last for around a week.
Overall, I give these treats four out of five stars - I've knocked one star off because of the price and also because the manufacturers test on animals.
Summary: My dogs liked them but due to who the manufacturer's are, I will not be re-purchasing.

Pacquiao faces criminal complaint regarding taxes
Tax officials in the Philippines have filed a criminal complaint against Manny Pacquiao for failure to produce documents related to "discrepancies" in the fighter's tax return. The advisor of WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao says he expects issues to be resolved relating to the boxer's financial problems, this, after Philippines tax officials filed a criminal complaint against the fighter for failure to submit documents to investigators looking into his tax returns. According to the Associated Press, Pacquiao could could face up to two years in jail if convicted as prosecutors decide whether or not there is enough evidence to bring the case to court. "We have teams of lawyers, teams of accountants, and, for whatever reason, some document wasn't produced, and I'm sure that it will be rectified very shortly," advisor Michael Koncz said of Pacquiao, who was ranked by Forbes magazine last year as the world's 24th richest athlete. "Other than that, there's no need to comment further on the tax issue. That's a personal matter, it's not a big issue, and we'll resolve it." The complaint was filed on March 1 after Pacquiao failed to submit the documents despite being notified on three separate occasions by a subpoena, Bureau of Internal Revenue regional director Rozil Lozares told the AP. On Thursday, Lozares said Pacquiao's 2010 tax return contained "discrepancies" considering his many businesses and endorsements. Pacquiao has an upcoming defense of his belt opposite WBO junior welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley that is slated for June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Combe conquer Elthamians to claim bonus point
5:18pm Monday 15th October 2012 in Sport
WESTCOMBE Park finished strongly to cement a bonus point in a 33-19 success over rivals Old Elthamians to lift their league position to a more respectable level.
Charlie Edwards crossed for two tries, Trent Nattrass and Dale Bellinger also scored, while Luke Giles put over two penalties and a conversion.
Ben Hough was successful with two kicks to top up the total.
Elthamians' points came from the boot of full back Tom White with four penalties and a conversion.
Renford Bennett scored their single try.
Combe's aggressive defence disrupted the visitors and closed them out for much of the game.
In attack Combe were patient, taking their chances when offered, with three of their tries coming from close range efforts and 10 points in the last 10 minutes to seal the win.

Ticket #1436 (closed bug: invalid)
UNwanted addition to insertAfter()

I am attempting to wrap a
 around a variable number of

 title. Unfortunately,
$('
').insertAfter($chapterTitle);
turns into

While I believe that it may be an attempt to insert proper HTML code, I need for the following .insertBefore($chapterTitle) to handle the closing

If there is another way around this, please advise.

This is desired, and required. It sounds like you want to use .wrap:
$chapterTitle.wrap('

comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by DK
Hi John!
Thanks for your reply and suggestion but ...
My problem is that I have a Word-generated document with
 (or
) element headers for a variable number of paragraphs (within a #content container). I want to leave the heading visible but .after() a toggle link to hide/show a
 which would contain the trailing
 and
 as well as trailing (.append()) links to hide and "back to top" THEN close the
. I don't believe that I can select only the immediate trailing elements (BOTH
 and
 IN ORDER) up to but NOT including the next <hx> (header element) so, a wrap does not seem to be the solution to MY problem.
I've convince myself that I could .after() the
 then move (.append()/.prepend()) the adjacent/trailing
 OR
 fields in order (I don't know how to OR the F element in "E ~ F an F element preceded by an E element" to maintain the order: "E ~ (F|G)?) and .append() the toggle links (before the next
 element) into the
. Since I need to iterate over the full set of
 elements THEN the
 elements (which enclose the
 elements), I am struggling (and fell back to my procedural/linear task education).
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

Base Rules Of The RPG |
1- Don't commit any "isms" (sexism, racism, etc) their bad. |
2- Only use profanity if it is to further your Roleplaying expeirience. |
3- No Arguing with the webmaster, can end up in removal from the RPG. |
4- Don't e-mail me or anyone else with stupid questions that can be answered on this page. |
5- Before you join read the rules, all the rules and everthing including the rules or so help you god. |
6- This is a game so don't take it too seriously |
7- If you wana join you have to keep reading so off you go. |
8- This RPG will run from Monday to Saturday, leaving Sunday for me to catch up and do shuch stuff, if you don't like it too bad its a long week compaired to some other rpgs. |
Rules Of Attacking |
There Are several types of battles, to battle just mail me or one of my associates(look under e-mail for our mails) and tell us what you want to do. |
Duel - Ah Yes, the most noble of noble battles the Duel. Two Fighers agree to a fight with their own rules both must mail to duel. |
Attack - Usually the most common type of battle is the Attack. One fighter attacks another without his or her consent. Easiest and quickes way to get a battle. |
Remote Attack - You, as the attacking force, buy some units from the shop and send them to attack your target(which can be a person, ship, base, anything) and you can help in the attack. |
Base Attack - You (or a group of people) attack a base, pretty simple. One person mail me with all the names of the people involved, the fewer you have the less likely it is you will win. |
Ambush - If you are at a planet where someone is going to you may wait for them to get there and attack as soon as they land to get the drop on someone, giving you quite the advantage. |
Rules For Tournement |
Periodically there will be Tournements in this RPG for the members to enter and compete for prizes. Theres not really a lot I can put here because each Tourny wil have its own separate rules so keep a watch out for Tournys cause thats where big prizes will be given out. One thing however you cannot enter a tourny if you are repairing or healing the day of the tourny. |
Rules For Quests And Missions |
Quests: Ok there are two basic quests in this RPG the first of which is for anyone. Looking for Dragonballs either on earth or namek, they grant wishes learn more about them on the Quests page. Second there is a Quest for only pokemon trainers, you can look for up to 6 new pokemon to fight with. Learn more about that on the Quest page too. The other Quests are for anyone. You take a quest in hopes of gaining massive exp and power, but not just one person alone will be able to complete such tasks it may take the entire RPG. Again more on the quests page. Missions: Missions are a lot like quests except they are taken to earn money rather than power and experience. Also unlike quests they do not usually take many people to accomplish and may have a few forces working against each other. You may ever have the choice of which force you work with. Unlike quests though they usually will not be up for a long time and usually have a time limit before they expire and happen. |
Rules of Training and Techniques |
You can Train With anyone else in the RPG as long as they agree. Training is one of the best ways to gain both expeirence and Power. You can only train anywhere up to 5 days at a time. You can also train with the NPCs on this RPG to learn new techniques and gain power. New Techniques cannot be learned from other members of the RPG. Different Training Facilities have different ways of training. Most Facilities you will train for a said number of days and recieve power and expeirience (or whatever the training gives you). Some Facilities (Virtual Reality Simulators, and Pilot Training Facilities) You will tell me how hard you wan't to set it and what you wan't to fight, then it will be writen like a battle and you will have to heal (Like the Matrix, if you die or get hurt in the simulation. you have to heal. |
Rules of Experience, Power, and Upgrading |
Experience- This RPG runs on two systems, the first of which is an Experience point system which determines how skillfully you fight. Its quite simple really, the more Experience you have the better you fight and the better chance you have of winning. Be warned that some characters can only increase their Experience to aid them in battle but that does not make them any better or worse. Power- The second of the systems which this RPG runs is a Power Level system. The Higher your powerlevel the more powerful, Faster, better weapons (and more destructive) your character is. But remember Power isn't everything. Not all character can raise their power but that does not make them any better or worse. Upgrading- Some Characters (not all but allot of them) can Upgrade or in other ways rapidly increase their power in a small amount of time (ie going super sayajin or rebuilding a Gundam). Different characters however will upgrade differently, to find clues to your upgrading look to the anime in which they are from. |
Rules of Shoping and Buying |
In this RPG (like most of my past rpgs) I overdo it with the shop and end up having to restrict peoples purchasing power. This one is no different, weapons are limited to one or two, other than you characters basic weapons that is. Ammo and weapon enhancements however are a different story though (all except buster weapons, those are limited to three or four). Ships and Facilities Are not limited by me but only by the money you have. However the capacity of the ship or facility does restrict what kind of stuff you can buy and add to your facility or ship. Units are usually only limited to the capacity of what your putting them into, unless you are going to bring them around with you. You may have up to 4 Units going around with you as Lackys, bodyguards, sidekicks, whatever and they do count towards the capacity if you put them in a ship. Units cannot be trained or have stuff bought for them though. |
Rules of Traveling |
First off, the times on the travel page are for people with standard ships, anyone who can travel without a ship takes double that time (this includes people who can breath in space and mobil suits). Anyone who starts with a ship it takes the normal time. There are neumerous planets in the world of anime so I only included some of the more popular ones. You can also travel to bases or other facilites which takes one day (as long as you on the same planet as your target location) You can go to random places in space ( in days from the Earth please) or orbits of planets. You can go to other planets of our solar system but you'll have to ask me for the travel time if their not on the locations page. |
Rules of E-mailing and Instant Messaging |
Joining Mails- (notice how I haven't put any joining info on this page) and I'm not going to start here. Go to the joining page after you finish to find that mail. Battling Mails-mails for battles, any of these mails will do. My Mail: MavHunter email@example.com Traveling Mails- Mails to go places, only mine. My Mail: MavHunterX firstname.lastname@example.com Questions and anything else- Again only to me. My Mail: MavHunterX firstname.lastname@example.com Instant Messangers- To get in touch directly with me or my staff try these IMs. My AIM: DeathscythH 02 |
Miscelaneous Rules of the RPG |
Me- I do have a life but I will update as often as possible (hopefully every day). Other than that if you have any questions just mail or AIM me I don't have a problem with it and enjoy meeting (via IM of course) the members of my RPG. I, as in me ,personally will be participating in this rpg(though I don't think anyone would have found out If I didn't say) I will not join any teams but will be a mercinary for hire. I will never enter any tournement but may participate in a quest. If you have a problem with this get over it cause its hard to change my mind so there. The Add ons- You may notice some stuff non RPG related at the bottom of the directory to the left. Thats because I was originally going to make an anime site but changed my mind thats the remenents. Check it out it may be useful and entertaining when its up. Death- Simple, if you die your not able to do anything for 9 days unless someone revives you with the dragon balls. I don't plan on doing this too often but it may happen. Unconsiousness however may happen more often, in which you are out of action for 7 days, one week, and will revive shortly there after. Removal- As odd as it may seem there our people out there who are real ass holes and can't follow these simple rules. So if you tick me off enough (generally takes quite a bit to get me that far) you will be removed from the RPG. the first time you will be allowed to rejoin on a later date. The second time you can join again with penalties. The third time is the last straw, you will never be allowed back again (and don't think joining under another mail will work, webmasters know everything). If you think I missed something here just e-mail me and I'll fix it or add it on. |
Well if you have made it this far you must really want to join, and to me you are worthy as long as you've read the whole thing. So go to the Joining Page and fill out the appropriate application. |

Roundup of This Week on the Web: Haveil Havalim, The Jewish Blog Carnival
Haveil Havalim is a carnival of Jewish blogs founded by Soccer Dad. It's a weekly collection of Jewish and Israeli blog highlights, tidbits and points of interest collected from blogs all around the world. The name comes from the second verse of the book of Ecclesiastes, generally translated as "vanity of vanities" -- the exasperated cry of a speaker frustrated by his fruitless search for meaning. You can see why it's appropriate for a collection of blog posts.
The carnival is hosted by different bloggers each week and devotedly coordinated by Jack. I'm breaking a little bit from the usual format, experimenting with some different categories and editorializing a little more than some of the other hosts do. The good news is, if you don't like how I've handled this, some one else will be in charge of next week's edition!
To submit your posts for inclusion - or to find out where to find the carnival each week - click here. And now, on with the show:
First, some posts on the topic of Tisha B'Av, which fell on Monday night and Tuesday of this week. Batya at Shiloh Musings notes that the existence of this very blog carnival, bringing together a wide range of Jewish voices, models the kind of respect and tolerance we are supposed to learn from Tisha B'Av.
Leading up to Tisha B'Av, Mordechai Torczyner (aka The Rebbetzin's Husband) wonders if his "Orthodox Infallibility" has blinded him to the possibility of recognizing the messiah, should the messiah's Jewish practice look different from his own.
In honor of the holiday, Israel 21c's Israelity blog featured pictures of Jerusalem, ancient and modern.
Ever wonder what it would feel like to observe Tisha B'Av on the site where the Temples stood and later fell? Yisrael Medad did just that and blogged about it at My Right Word.
Over at Shiloh Musings, Batya reflects on her Tisha B'Av spent in New York.
Lady-Light of the blog Tikkun Olam sees in Tisha B'Av a call for Jews to take back the Temple Mount. (To me, this sounds awfully close to incitement to war, which is an awfully peculiar take on a holiday on which we're charged with mourning the losses that arise from hatred.)
Independent Patriot, of the blog Liberty's Spirit, also sees in Tisha B'Av a call to action, to make our own redemption, but with a slightly different conclusion. (This is a long post, but worth getting to the end.)
Miriyummy may officially be my hero, because she figured out a way to work recipes into a blog post about a fast day, Good Mourning.
Of course, there was more to the week than just Tisha B'Av!
Rabbi Micah Streiffer offered a sermon on parashat D'varim on his blog Chutz Mizeh / Otherwise entitled Can We Save our Relationship with Israel? (Spoiler alert: he sure hopes so!)
Chaviva Galatz of Just Call Me Chaviva modestly titled her post Shabbat Thoughts, but it's really an important reminder of how our faith dictates us to treat converts. In light of what's going on in Israel with the conversion bill, this could easily be filed under "politics," but since she mostly writes about how we treat individuals from the perspective of Jewish tradition, it feels more appropriate in this category.
Ari Hart of Jewschool shares the recently released Statement of Principles on the Place of Jews with a Homosexual Orientation in the Orthodox Community, inviting discussion. (Consensus so far: better than we expected, but not really satisfying to anyone.)
Lady-Light shares some thoughts about Shabbat Nachamu at her blog Tikkun Olam.
Dan Brosgol, of JewishBoston.com, spends some time on Shabbat Nachamu reflecting about Rav Kook's religious Zionism and wondering what it means for those of us who continue to live in the diaspora while calling ourselves Zionists.
Rachel Barenblat, aka The Valveteen Rabbi, also wrote about Shabbat Nachamu, sharing a mother poem: Comforter.
Two days following Shabbat Nachamu comes Tu B'Av, the Jewish celebration of romance. Jacob Richman has compiled a list of websites and videos about Tu B'Av on his blog Good News from Israel.
If you're looking for something a little deeper, Rabbi Yehoisophot Oliver writes about Making the World Fit for Divine Revelation over at A Chassidishe farbrengen.
Parents and Children
Minnesota Mamaleh shares a lesson inspired by a book she receved from PJ Library, The Hardest Word, posted at TC Jewfolk.
Donna Powell wrote a powerful reminiscence of how a chance encounter with a Chabad rabbi gave her strength to minister to her son as he fought terminal cancer.
Mrs. S. of Our Shiputzim writes about celebrating Shabbat on the maternity ward of a hospital in Israel.
Linda Wertheimer of JewishBoston.com and Jewish Muse spent a day in the park with her toddler and learned to treasure spontaneous mitzvot.
Remember when Newsweek released a list of 50 influential rabbis and we all just yawned? The Forward's Sisterhood Blog stayed awake long enough to notice the scarcity of women on the list, so they made their own. Jewschool's David A. M. Wilensky takes a look at how they did.
Joel Katz keeps tabs on all the news stories in which affairs of state and religion intersect in his blog Religion and State in Israel. Check out this week's stories here in part one and part two.
Anyone who loves broadcast journalism surely heard about the death of NPR news analyst Daniel Schorr. Lady Light shares some memories of him at her blog, Tikkun Olam. As she succinctly put it, "Daniel Schorr was a journalistic icon, the last of the Edward R. Murray team on CBS. I will miss his reports."
Jerusalem wins big in Travel & Leisure magazine's World's Best awards, with Tel Aviv not far behind, via Israel 21c's Israelity blog.
Ilana Davita interviews fellow blogger Tamar (of Only Connect) about making aliyah, blogging, and the connection between the two.
Aryeh Cohen of Jewschool got arrested this week while protesting the Hyatt's treatment of workers.
Here at JewishBoston.com, we ran a contest for VIP Auditions to be on The Biggest Loser. Jewish Women's Archive was not amused.
More on the conversion bill, this time from Tzipporah (an American Jewish convert) at Midianite Manna: "FU" from Israel, with Love.
Robert J. Averech has a conspiracy theory: Liberal Media Conspired to Kill Stories about Jeremiah Wright. Read about it at his blog, Seraphic Secret.
Also from the right, but this time in Israel, Yisrael Medad of My Right Word responds to the Arab propaganda that is still with us published by King Abdullah I 63 years ago. (Don't ask me why, 63 years later, this merits a response. Yisrael only says "There's an effort to rehabilitate an Arab ruler who, like his grandson, is viewed as the 'likeable hero' of the Arab-Israel conflict.") He also takes issue with the reporting of an IDF Civil Administration action in the West Bank.
Writing at his "other home" on the net, the Arutz Sheva blog From the Hills of Ephraim, Yisrael Medad asks an important question about the US involvement in the peace process: is the way the US funds cultural programming pushing Israeli and Palestinian residents of the West Bank farther apart?
If you haven't yet seen the YouTube video "Only Israel," Israel 21c's Israelity blog has it for you, along with some commentary about the song's quality (fair) message (harsh) and effectivenes (very). Lady Light of also wrote Tikkun Olam about the video.
Avrum Burg created a new Jewish-Arab political party in Israel. Jewschool's Kung Fu Jew is skeptical.
Ilana Davita commemorates the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup, the largest planned round up of Jews by the Nazis in occupied France during WW2.
David Tzohar looks back at disengagement from Gush Katif and concludes it was an exercise in futility, from his blog Tzohar LaTeiva. Rabbi Yehoishophot Oliver of A Chassidishe farbrengen also reflects on the history of Gush Katif with A Jew Doesn't Expel a Jew.
Lady Light of Tikkun Olam discovers the origins of Hava Nagila, and finds some folks raising money for a documentary film about the history of the song.
I saved my favorite category for last.
Benji Lovitt of What War Zone? found an Israeli store whose name loses something in translation. He also offers a rant against a Jerusalem supermarket with customer service so poor, it could be the cause of the entire Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
SnoopyTheGoon of Simply Jews got wind of Inspire Magazine, an online publication designed to recruit for Al Quaeda, and decided to offer some free editorial advice. In another post, he relates his experiences with the security team at Heathrow airport.
Heshy Fried of Frum Satire crafts a list of Stuff Frummies are Afraid Of.
Last words
For the final link in this week's blog carnival, I've saved Susan Barnes' post "Changing Plans," from her blog To Kiss a Mezuzah. It's a very sweet story of an intergenerational friendship, saying goodbye, and remembering that sometimes it's necessary to change our plans at the last minute.
I hope among all these links you found something new to read that piqued your interest. And if this is your first visit to JewishBoston.com, I hope you'll poke around our site and see all that we've got to offer. (Also consider following us on Twitter at @JewishBoston and becoming our fan on Facebook!) Have a great week!

You did a great job, thanks! And I'll be your hero any day -- come for cheesecake!
Great job! Thanks for the link, and Shabbat Shalom!
Thanks for including me and for building such an amazing collection of blogs around the Jewsphere!
Thanks, everyone, for your great comments! Sorry about the slightly confusing comment mechanism - first time commentors get held for moderation before posting, and it doesn't handle links very well.
And a special thanks to Batya to letting us know about those other Jewish blog carnivals. We've got some big food-related plans here leading up to the holidays, so we'll definitely be submitting to the Kosher Cooking Carnival!
Sorry about the delay in checking out your wonderful Havel Havelim, but I just got Home yesterday (http://me-ander.blogspot.com/2010/07/im-home.html). Thanks for the place of honor! As most jbloggers know, I'm a great fan of the jblog carnivals and coordinate the Kosher Cooking Carnival (http://beneaththewings.blogspot.com/2010/07/kosher-cooking-carnival-number-56.html) and have hosted JPIX (http://me-ander.blogspot.com/2009/08/jpixsince-picture-is-worth-thousand.html). I'm glad to get to know your blog.
Thanks for nicely hosting this week's Haveil Havalim and also for including my links, David, despite your dubious take on my post about Har HaBayit. You are entitled to your opinion. And so am I.
Nevertheless, you posted my link, even though you may have disagreed with my idea. I thank you for that.
thank you so much for such a thorough, thoughtful job!
Thanks for the kind words about my post, and for doing such a great job with all the comments on all the posts!
Good job!
Thanks for taking in my last minute entries.
Thanks for the hard work and for including two of my posts.
Well done. Nice interpretations and flow. Thanks for my inclusions. And have alovely Tu B'Av.
Thank you for your help! Just sent out an email to let the troops know that this is up.

A level students get stress free checklist for the night before, and what to do on results day...
Your last A level exam may seem like a lifetime away, but the waiting game of the last six weeks is about to end. As results day gets nearer, privately owned BPP University College offers some help on how to focus on the night before, and the day after, with its quick checklist below... or, for more detailed information, check out its essential online guide, "Be Prepared for Clearing".
The night before...
- Charge up your mobile.
- Make arrangements for when and how you are going to collect your results.
- Have a list of your university choices, course name and web and phone contact details, and a pen and pad.
- Set your alarm clock if you want to check your status from 8am on the UCAS site.
On the day...
- Go online as early as possible and log on to the UCAS website and make a note of your Clearing Number.
- Check availability of places against your choices.
- Collect your exam results and stay focused on what you need to do next – plenty of time to catch up with friends later!
- Telephone your firm and insurance choices.
- If you missed out on your first choice, start to telephone the places next on your list. Stay calm, speak clearly, listen carefully and don't rush the call. Everyone is in the same boat!
- If you secure an offer, make note of the 2 codes that you will be given – for the course and the place of study.
- Allow time for the odd break or two, and make sure you eat!
- After 6pm, visit the UCAS website to confirm the Clearing Offer you've decided to accept.
The essential guide "Be prepared for Clearing" is a short, handy guide that students can download via BPP's website www.bpp.com. It offers practical advice on the process, as well as tips on staying positive and dealing with questions.

Hi Everyone, As most of you probably know by now, I do a bit of transcribing for the FreeCen project. And once again I am here to ask if any of you good people would like to give it a go yourselves. My County Co-ordinator, Carol, is once again recruiting new volunteers for all counties. Carol tells me that most counties are available on CD so, if you would like to volunteer, contact me through the site and I will pass on her email address. Basically what is involved is you download a program from the FreeCen site which includes instructions and aids for transcribing. You will be sent a CD (or microfiche if you have a fiche reader. Not many of us do!) which will contain a copy of an original piece from the census. Our job as transcribers is to try and work out what is written on the census and transfer the info onto the program ready to be uploaded onto the site. It might seem a bit confusing at first, but take it from me, if I can do it, anyone can! lol. Your county co-ordinator is always there to help with any queries you might have. Or there are several other GR members who transcribe as well as myself and we may be able to help. We have a thread running on the Tips Board where we can go to ask for or offer help. FreeCen is a voluntary project so you are not under any time constraints. Any time you can offer will be gratefully appreciated, even if it's only an hour a week. If you would like to find out more about the project go to http://freecen.rootsweb(.)com/ *Remove brackets* The last time I put a message up asking for volunteers I got loads of enquiries, and I would like to thank you all for putting your names forward.

Hi Jeanette, If you manage to find out what the checker actually does could you please let me know - do they check everything or just where the queries are marked etc. I jokingly said to Carol that I might do checking when I have finished all the areas - 3 down and another 5 to go - as I know they are short of checkers.

Wine & Food Pairings
Spanish Chorizo Stuffed Prawns wrapped in Serrano Ha, with a Cassabel and Manchego cream.
Gourmet Fine Catering, Darby Donohue-Owner and Executive Sous Chef Mike Morehead present:
Spanish Chorizo Stuffed Prawns wrapped in Serrano Ha, with a Cassabel and Manchego cream.
Prawns (6 U-15)
Spanish Chorizo 1 pound small diced.
Serrano Ham Deli sliced thin ½ pound
Take the chorizo and cut into small dice and sauté lightly for 2 to 3 minuets and let cool.
Peel and de-vein shrimp and butterfly down the middle of shrimp and stuff shrimp with cooled chorizo and then wrap with the thinly sliced Serrano ham (or any spicy Spanish ham) and pan sear on both sides till brown. In a sauté pan with pad of butter bake the shrimp at 375 for 3/1/2 to 5 min.
Cassabel peppers (smoked cherry peppers) 5
Garlic 1 T
Minced shallots 3T
¼ cup high quality Spanish sherry
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup Manchego cheese
In a hot pan with a thin coat of oil sauté the garlic and shallots in the pan till browned then deglaze the pan with Sherry and reduce by a ¼ then add heavy cream and simmer for 5 min on low stirring often then slowly add the shredded manchego and simmer till thick.
Plate prawns and drizzle with cream also a nice touch for garnishing the plate is to hold back some of the oil from the chorizo and paint the plate with it.
Casa Do Valle Vinho Verde is a family owned and operated winery and estate from Portugal. They are only one of about 3 operators of this type in the area. All the other producers of Vihno Verde are produced by Cooperatives. Verde, meaning green in Spanish, is actually named so because the wine is young and meant to be drunk very young. It is grown in a fabulously, lush, green region, right across the border from Spain, in which they actually have to divert the abundance of water. Vihno Verde can be made of about 25 different grapes, but the Casa Do Valle is made from all Albarino. It has a delicious peach/apricot nuance in the nose, but is citrussy, crisp and light with a hint of effervescence on the finish. It is a wonderful pair to this month's recipe, with enough acid to cut through this rich sauce and shrimp and enough citrus to compliment the salty ham and melon to tone down the spicy chorizo. This is a deliciously refreshing wine meant to drink during the hot summer months and can be found at Joy Wine and Spirits, 1302 E. 6th Avenue. Discover the JOY of wine.

Before we can learn geometry, we must first have a clear idea of what this content area of mathematics entails. Where the vast majority of topics within mathematics deals first and foremost with numbers and symbols, geometry deals with space and shapes. It is a distinctly different area of mathematics than are other areas. In geometry we study two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes as well as relationships between them. Geometry enables us to analyze and represent relationships between parts of shapes. Geometry enables us to create and use representational systems to describe locations. Geometry gives us tools to transform shapes in a mathematical manner. Geometry allows us to use a spatial approach to solve problems. Perhaps most importantly, geometry can be used in conjunction with algebra to enable us to strengthen our problem-solving ability in many areas.

Gear ratio
Alright, I'm looking at buying a 96 psd and noticed when I test drove it, the truck was slower then usual getting out of first and into second gear, then its fine. I noticed today in the description that it has 4:10 gears, which are meant for tow/hauling if i remember correctly. Or may its slowness be due to its still in tow/haul mode and hasn't been turned off?
My questions are: 1. is it supposed to be slow with 4:10 gears? everyone has them 2. what should its mpg be with those gears? 3. how much would stock gearing cost? |

The 4:10 gears if anything will make the truck faster than the same truck with 3:55s or 3:73s because its lower gearing if that makes sense.
As a result of this lower gearing, rpms are going to be higher than a truck with the 3.73s or 3.55s, at 65 my truck is turning 2100 rpm, compared to my moms 3.73 truck that does 1850 at 65. this will result in lower mileage, but increased acceleration accross the board. youll also feel the difference from a truck with higher gearing when towing. Now the truck most likely came from the factory with 4:10 gearing, this was a popular option in obs trucks. im not sure how much regearing the truck with higher gearing such as 3:55s or 3:73s would cost, but honestly unless you mainly commute in the truck id leave the 4:10s in. as for the tranny shifting slow, i couldnt tell you much about that, sounds like it may be slipping. im sure other members will chime in, hopefully a little bit of what i just told you is correct... |
I know for sure the transmission is in good shape since that dealer is pretty much #1 to buy a diesel from, so thats not an issue.
I think the truck may still be in tow/haul mode since they have been using it around the shop. Because one time at work I had to use a 350 gasser, and it was slow as crap the first day. The next day it took off like normal. I think it was in tow mode. |
my truck is slow as crap getting to about 15 mph, but once i hit it i can take off real quick from there, and hell sometimes if im getting to 15 slowly and then romp on it i can shirp the tires too, but just about anything before that its real slow and dont get no where
There is no tow/haul mode in an OBS.
4.10's will give you more acceleration but limit top speed. Expect to get around 15mpg with that truck in a combo of city/highway driving on average. Both my OBS with 4.10's were a dog off the line too, I think its just a function of little injectors and a large turbine on the turbo. My 96 wasn't as bad, but this stinkin' federal emissions 97 I have now is the turd of turds. I'm hoping to fix that real soon... |
federal emissions? i live in cali and emissions is no longer required on 97 and older diesels, georgia doesnt have emisssions period on f-250 and larger or any size diesel period
Late build 96 and 97 build trucks with the CA emissions package got AB split shot injectors, which are 120cc instead of the 90cc AA injectors in the 49 state trucks.
Well I dont have enough income to afford a new set of gears in the rear so I'm looking at an Edge Evolution color screen tuner.
So city mpg would be like 14-15 mpg and highway around 18-20 stock? |
i was looking at doing the same thing. its going to be way more money than its worth. i got quoted 2400 bucks for the gears and installation today. i know that guy is a little high, but i've got somewhere close to that from everyone i've talked to. i'm just going to do stage 1's and a 17* hpop to help with mpg instead.
Don't waste money on the Edge, there are far better options out there for tuning. I don't know what the Edge costs these days but you should be able to get a custom burned chip and 2-3 gauges for $700 or so. |
