BBC radio listeners will be able to celebrate the holidays with a real-life Grinch this year. According to the Guardian, Iggy Pop will host two shows on BBC 6 Music, one on Christmas Day and one on New Year's Day.
Watch Iggy and the Stooges Tear Up "Colbert"
By Evan Minsker on April 30, 2013 at 10:15 a.m. EDT
On last night's "Colbert Report", Stephen welcomed Iggy and the Stooges. They performed the track "Job" from their new album Ready to Die, with Iggy invading the crowd for a typically in-your-face performance. Colbert and Iggy also sat down for a chat to discuss the meaning of punk, Iggy's frequent shirtlessness, and more. Watch both clips below:
Echo Chamber: Iggy Pop on Iceage

"It's not easy to be that dark. A lot of people who try to express negative energy sort of just flail. They kind of come off like hamsters or something, where the more they try, the sillier it is. I thought they achieve a certain darkness. … They're known for doing very, very short albums and shows. When I started, that's what we always did."
-- Iggy Pop shares his appreciation for Iceage on Australian radio show "triple j Mornings", where he played "You're Nothing" on a playlist alongside Chuck Berry, Kraftwerk, Jacuzzi Boys, and Peaches. Earlier in the show, he called them "the only current punk band I can think of that sounds really dangerous". (via Maria Sherman)
SXSW: Iggy and the Stooges

By this point, of course a Stooges concert is formulaic: They break out some gems from their back catalog and Iggy flails around onstage like a deranged ape. (At the Vans/Fat Possum showcase at Mohawk, they opened with "Raw Power" and "Gimme Danger".) But this is the fucking Stooges we're talking about here. These are classic songs played loud and sung by one of rock'n'roll's greatest frontmen. Even when the mix was blown out, it was still abundantly clear that James Williamson's guitar, Mike Watt's bass, and Steve Mackay's saxophone were all near flawless at every turn. (Seriously, Williamson's "Search and Destroy" solo sounded almost identical to the one on Raw Power.)
Listen to a New Iggy and the Stooges Track: "Burn"
By Jenn Pelly on March 5, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. EST
Iggy and the Stooges: "Burn" (via SoundCloud)
Iggy and the Stooges are prepping a new record, Ready to Die, to be released April 30 via Fat Possum. (They're pegging it as the followup to 1973's iconic Raw Power, although the Stooges last released 2007's The Weirdness.) Today, the label has let go a cut from the record, "Burn", which appears on the record alongside tracks with such titles as "Sex & Money" and "Job".
Iggy and the Stooges Announce New Album Ready to Die, Diss the Smashing Pumpkins in the Process
By Jenn Pelly on February 25, 2013 at 12:20 p.m. EST
Iggy Pop has taken a break from commercials and Best Coast and Ke$ha collabs to release a new record with the Stooges. The punk pioneers are set to release Ready to Die on April 30 via Fat Possum.
Listen to Iggy Pop and Hawk and a Hacksaw's Song for the Johnny Depp-Curated Pirate Compilation

Son of Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys is a compilation curated and created by Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski, and producer Hal Willner. (It's a follow-up to the 2006 compilation Rogue's Gallery.)

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After purchasing a 2011 Dodge Charger from Allen Samuels Dodge in Houston I immediately began to have issues with what I thought was the alignment of the vehicle, and tire wear. The car was fishtailing and I had to change the rear tire before I had the car for 30 days so I contacted the service center of Dodge. I assumed that the dealership could handle the problems with ease, but after taking the car to the dealership's service center, which the Financial person (at the dealership) informed me I should do after 30 days so that the warranty could cover any cost, I found out that there were major issues.
The warranty covered what we thought was the major issue we were having, but about 4 months after the repair and 4 rear tire changes later the car began to fishtail even worse, make a loud knocking noise when I turn the steering wheel, and is unable to be driven. I instantly take the car back to the dealership and ask my salesman, JOSE Cardines, more about the vehicle and what options we have and they inform us that we can trade the car in but will be upside down by about $4,000 or we can purchase another car while still having the charger and let the Charger get REPOSSESED. (Really!!) The third option was to just get the car fixed which I went ahead to the service center to check on again because I did not want to be upside down or have my credit negatively affected by a repo.
Robert, the service tech who was very helpful, broke down what the issues were and informed me that the warranty would not cover the repairs totaling about $1,100 for a car that I've only had for 7 months and have already paid over $1000 in repairs for. The car's front suspension, and alignment are horribly damaged, the tire joints and other issues with the tire are damaged, whenever I drove over any kind of crack, uneven pavement, or bump in the road the car would fishtail horribly. The back tires felt like they were going to fall off of the car when it is being driven. There is no way that the car can be driven in the rain because it hydroplaned and fishtailed excessively to the point of where the car would not drive in one lane.
Overall the car has been nothing but a headache and the dealership doesn't want to honor the deal we initially made, "to put me in a reliable car" where I will not have to deal with the major mechanical issues such as the ones that I am having now. I went to a major dealership to avoid buying a lemon and still found myself having to go through issues with a vehicle from a "major car dealership".

#1 UPDATE Employee
lockett complaint
AUTHOR: Lou Smith - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 07, 2013POSTED: Monday, October 07, 2013
Why would anyone purchase a car in the condition the Locketts have described. the facts are that the vehicle did not have the problems described, but were a result of 1or more accidents that the vehicle has been involved in. I believe the main problem is the misunderstaning that the extended service plan,which was purchased, would cover damage as a result of an accident. Since the date of the complaint the locketts have visited the dealership and have filed a claim with there insurance company to repair the damage caused during the accident
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

You just described exactly what YOU are doing. LMAO Dolt. I have nothing to be scared of as I am a dead man on vacation. Today is a beautiful day to die. Oh yea, your tough talk....whoopee! Come to think of it, I've never been in a fight with a black. None. Don't know and don't care where you grew up but around here we don't have such problems. We take care of one another. However, I have no problem with taking whatever actions are necessary to protect myself, family, friends and countrymen. Before you get so excited you cream in your jeans; just because someone lives here doesn't mean they are "my" countrymen. We will come face to face one day lil jimmie. I sure hope you're prepared. Ever given any thought to what LRS might stand for? LMAO at the ID 10T Error. That would be you lil jimmie. Just like jacqie, the only impression you've ever left was in your gay lover's turd. Dumbazzedbastard.<quoted text>
Only scared punks talk like tough guys on Topix. I had you pegged as a scared old white fool from the git-go.
Your increasing desperation and lame attempts to convince yourself how tough you are is exactly the response I anticipated. LOL
You weak minded birfers are all about racial fear. I'll wager a lot of black kids whipped your ass as a child. You still hold the scars, fear, and resentment!! With some added mental health issues thrown in!!

The Uninsured: A Primer – Key Facts about Health Insurance on the Eve of Coverage Expansions

HSNi Reports Net Sales Up, Net Income Decline For Q2
Thursday August 7th, 2014 - 12:36PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
HSN, Inc. reported that net sales increased 5% and digital sales, a focus for the company this year, rose 9% for its second quarter ended June 30 for HSN Inc. (HSNi) and its two operating segments, HSN and Cornerstone. HSNi also reported that net income had dropped 5% to $40.9 million, or 76 cents per share, from $43.3 million, or 79 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.
"Our focus during the second quarter remained on engaging our customers, emphasizing our unique content and proprietary products, and strengthening our digital platforms," CEO Mindy Grossman said. Mobile sales rose, she noted, representing 15% of total sales this quarter.
For HSN, net sales grew 6% to $556.5 million from $526.2 million in the same quarter last year. For Cornerstone, net sales grew 4% to $298.7 million from $286.4 million in the same quarter last year. Net sales for the company as a whole were $855.2 million.
Gross margin in the quarter decreased for both segments, however, due to promotional activity from Cornerstone, and shipping promotions at HSN, the company cited. Gross margin for the company dropped 140 bps to 36.6% from 38% in the same quarter last year. Operating income for HSN rose 11% to $52.1 million compared to $47 million in the same quarter last year, whereas they fell 37% for Cornerstone to $15.3 million this quarter compared to $24.3 million in the same quarter last year.
"During the quarter, we saw a bifurcation within our business," Grossman continued.
Adjusted EBITDA also decreased $8.6 million to $19.4 million for Cornerstone, whereas it rose 10% to $62.7 million at HSN.

Top-Maine drug prosecutor convicted of child porn held in NH after 2 years on the run
PORTLAND, Maine — For the first time in nearly two years, James Cameron on Tuesday will face the judge who ordered him to spend 16 years behind bars for downloading child pornography, then refused to release Maine's former top drug prosecutor while his appeal was pending. Cameron is being held at the Stafford County jail in Dover, N.H. It is one of several jails the U.S. Marshals Service in Maine uses to board prisoners because there is no federal detention facility in Maine.

I just started playing EUIV coming out of a year-long Civ IV/V binge. It's ridiculously complex in comparison and I'm having a hard time picking it up.
I've also been playing the hell out of Banished, which is a great new little indie city-builder. No objectives beyond survival, no enemies to fight beyond starvation and cold. It's a lot of fun and it's really good-looking for how lightweight it is (~100mb).

morrowind was $5 on steam recently, i picked up an extra copy so we didn't have to fight over it. but yeah you can still get it pretty easily
what does such a long time mean in skyrim? i've played a ton of it (don't know exactly how much because it's split over two computers and an xbox) and i still haven't even beaten the main quest. there's a LOT of other distracting stuff. plus i've had like eight characters and i heavily roleplay with each one, so i guess that helps
ALSO LIV (i know this is nested shut up) BASTION IS THE BESSST. i bought it for my brother because i was like YOU COMPOSE, LISTEN TO THIS

I just finished playing a little game called 140. It's sort of an abstract platformer based on levels that change/move to the rhythm of the soundtrack, with really colorful, trippy graphics and great music. It's five bucks (on Steam and the Humble Store) and it took me about 45 minutes to beat. I very highly recommend it–it's really a cool experience. The controls are wonderfully precise.
I've also recently purchased Starbound, which I haven't played much yet, but I think I'll enjoy it. I never really got into Terraria but I'm gonna give this one a shot and see how it grabs me.

I just finished playing Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. It was super great! I'm not much for 2D puzzles, but I got through it all right. The story was amazing. It's written by the same guy who wrote the first three Ace Attorney games.

My husband is teaching me how to play Star Trek: Armada. It's interesting in that you get to play all the sides, but there's a thing in the final campaign called nanites that make your control panels fly and bounce around the screen. I'm really glad I'm not up to that part yet, because I feel like it would drive me insane. Which is probably the point.

It's 5:30 in the morning and I've just finished watching a complete playthrough of 999: Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors. I played through to the Axe ending myself and then decided the story was worth getting invested in. Since I don't like escape-the-room that much in the first place and to get all the endings you have to play through the escape-the-room segments multiple times, I found a playthrough on youtube.
Vague spoilers ahead:
Wow, wow, wow. That story was super great. And at the end I emitted an audible "wat." It just drops this super crazy awesome hilarious twist and ends. Perfect.
The design during the final segment was amazing. The top and bottom screens are used to their full potential as a narrative device–something I've never seen before. It's crazy.

I had fun playing through the first time but after I lost a bunch of progress on the ending that is required to get the true ending I gave up. A lot of time is spent fast-forwarding and doing stuff you already know if you want to get all the endings.
I'd say a walkthrough would get you around the same experience.
0 0
Now I've finished watching a walkthrough of Virtue's Last Reward, which is the sequel to 999.
I have to say I liked 999 better. It was a lot smaller and shorter, but that made me like the characters more. Plus it had the aforementioned dual screens narrative device, which was totally sweet.
There was just… way too much going on in this one. 999 resolved its time paradox issues with a little *nudge nudge wink wink* kind of silly thing, and there was only really one person doing time travel in one direction. In VLR the entire endgame is so confusing. I have to think hard to figure out whose consciousness went where.
There are a LOT of endings, and the path required to get to the true ending is super complicated, which makes sense given Sigma's powers. VLR expands the abilities in 999.
I was actually really disappointed that Tenmyouji was Junpei; I wanted him to be Santa so bad! Plus I plain didn't want Junpei in the game. But it was actually handled really well–Junpei moved on from Akane but didn't realize it, and it was pretty sad.
I think the worst part was the cliffhanger ending, since another game is nowhere in sight. Phi's identity is left to the next game, as well as the identity of the mysterious "?" character at the end (though it is implied to be the player).
Super complicated with a cliffhanger ending means not a satisfying story for me.

I played a little battle spot today and had a great match.
My team was Mega Mawile, Gengar, and Lapras. The opponent had Garchomp, Tentacruel, and Dunsparce.
They led with the Garchomp and I with my Mawile. I didn't switch Mawile out (even though that's one of the main reasons I have Gengar–levitate to take a baited ground attack) and went straight for the Play Rough, which just barely didn't KO it. It Earthquaked, leaving me in the red. A Sucker Punch knocked it out.
Next was the Tentacruel. Sucker Punch got it down to the yellow, then it KO'd Mawile with Scald. Tentacruel has high special defense, so Gengar was only able to KO it with two hits, then went down to life orb recoil damage.
It was Lapras vs. Dunsparce. I knew that thing would be trouble. I fortunately got a Toxic off so it was only a matter of time before it fainted. But would Lapras be able to hold out?
This Dunsparce was a paraflincher with leftovers. So annoying! I only got one hit on it with Surf, and that was what allowed Lapras to hang on long enough. With 11 HP left I won.
I replayed it through the battle video and switched out Mawile before the Earthquake and it went a lot better for me–Gengar was able to KO the Garchomp with Dazzling Gleam and then Mawile set up on the Tentacruel.

This one's a return to a style I enjoy for an auction to benefit Works/San José on December 13th. It's based on a painting I made years ago called Release. That's the cheery abstract painting that I'm currently using as a background on my Twitter account. I even decorated my study around it.
This version follows the same color scheme and feel as the original with a few variations. It is a wall-friendly 20″x20″ square, in contrast to the original 48″ x 24″ landscape. I also opted to add more texture to it with a toothy crosshatched base for the background. And: instead of a black border, I kept the border blue to emphasize the wrapped look. Getting the original blue was a little trickier than I anticipated. What you see here was my fourth attempt after starting too thin, then too green-ish, and then too dark.
I picked this one to return to because it is one of the ones that seems to be the most popular when I give visiting friends the "art tour". It's also fun to see what people interpret it to be. While painting it, I was thinking of a combination of a falling motion (flower petals, autumn leaves) and a gathering motion (the feeding frenzy of koi or goldfish). I've also hear that it looks like fireworks, confetti, and – my favorite for being odd – candy corn.
The Statement series is mostly individuals, but this lovely pose was too good to pass up. This photo is from Hannah & Amanda's commitment ceremony and was either taken by me or Alan. Only the metadata knows for sure!
I was eager to paint this for a change of lighting. This was shot outside in the sun which was a cheery change from the indoor lighting of previous images. I think I was still in indoor-lighting mode, and realized partway through that it was a little too cold and blue-ish. I ended up doing a sweep of warmer colors to fix it.
This was also a group shot originally. I blurred out the background as I painted but opted to keep some of the tone changes for variety. In hindsight I could see reworking some of the tones around the left edge, especially to highlight the hand around the waist. I decided to leave it as it because it felt balanced this way.
Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm done unless I let a painting sit around for a bit. On this one, I decided that I had wrapped it up a bit too early. After looking at it for a few days, I ended up coming back to the black/blue details on Hannah's dress this morning to touch it up. Glad I did!
Inktober is done, and here's the last batch of sketches: this time it's George, age 76. Some of these expressions are very suitable for Halloween! [also see previous Inktober sketches ]
It's been a fun exercise, though I like having these as pick-up projects rather than forcing a daily schedule. I'll keep doing this and posting batches as they are ready. It'll be a good project to have on hand if I'm more in the mood to draw people rather than my current object-sketching project, Undefined Variables.
The latest in the Statement series, with a fun variant on the white fabric: leather! A friend of mine has this neat leather motorcycle jacket, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to paint a different type of material.
Due to the color of the materials, I did something I don't usually do on these painting: I used black paint. Carbon Black, specifically. I can usually get a good rich dark color out of mixing Burnt Umber and Ultramarine Blue, but I felt the colors in those would take away from it, and mute some of the matte vs shiny goodness here. I kept the rest of the colors pretty muted to balance it out…hence the grayish speedlines of the background.
There were a few interesting and tricky parts to this one. The jacket has a series of fine perforations on the bottom half of the chest and the inside of the sleeves. The helmet has mix of matte and glossy areas. Surprisingly, the jeans ended up being the most difficult part of this to get right in terms of the color and texture. I may need to find more photos with jeans in them for practice.
Also fun here: painting logos. The logos and color scheme reminded me of painting a 3-4′ wide piece of wood with a Nascar auto on it for a kid's room decoration years ago. At some point I may try my hand at making a font.
This week in Inktober is Maddie, age 31. My pen may be running out, so hopefully it will last another two weeks. I realized that I sometimes start making these expressions too while I'm drawing them…which is probably a little odd in public.
Here's the rest of my Inktober sketches in case you missed previous weeks.
!Ay Dios Mio! in San Pedro Square Market hosted a sugar skull-making day today, in prep for Dia de Los Muertos. I missed it last year so I was glad to catch it this time. This one is complete with earrings, glasses (kind of), and braces…to correct the overbite, I'm guessing.
For this week of Inktober I've been sketching Michael, 23 years old. Last week I decided to go directly to ink, and continued that this week. Like last week, the first one felt a bit awkward and got better with successive expressions. The mustache was a bit too heavy on the first, and I realized I needed to use a lighter mark to make it look right. It was also challenging to draw someone much younger (few creases!) so every mark counted. I finally noticed the small bit of a wave in his hair on the final drawing too.
Lots of stippling with his hairstyle! I enjoy stippling, but it takes a lot of patience. There are so many ways to unintentionally create strange patterns or marks, especially if you rush it. I usually end up blurring my vision a little bit and getting into an almost trancelike state to stipple consistently.
This is the latest little sketchbook I'm carrying around for the occasional moment to draw. The theme of the last one was Object Oriented, and it was a little brown book with sketches of objects drawn in brown ink. For this little black book I wanted a different theme, ideally playing off of another computer science term. Hence: Undefined Variables.
I'm trying out a more elaborate ruleset on this one. I didn't really know whether it was working until I'd gotten four or five of these done. The ruleset is this:
1. Draw a scene of the objects in front of me and pick one object to cut out, leaving only the outline of the space where it would be.
2. Instead of drawing the true background, fill it with a nearby pattern.
Here's the first quarter or so of the book.
I'm participating in Inktober, an annual event since 2009 that's an excuse to practice inking. I decided to practice facial expressions as a counterpoint to my Statement series of paintings.
Here are the rules I'm following: pick one person from the excellent Facial Expressions reference book, and each week, focus only on that person and draw a different expression every day. The book is a wonderful reference of people of a mix of ethnicity, body type, and gender, from 20's to 80's.
This week I chose Roshan, a 47-year old woman. I started off by penciling first and then inking. I'd barely started on the eye when I quickly realized that the Uniball Vision I was using put out too much ink for the notebook I'm using (a blank thin-paged paper-cover Moleskine). I switched to a Micron 02 (0.3mm) since the paper is so delicate. It's much easier to draw creases and wrinkles when drawing with thinner lines overall. It feels slightly like cheating to me because I've been drawing with thicker (more unforgiving) lines. I figure if I do this for a while I can get more confident about working back to the thicker lines. I felt like it lost a bit of the expressiveness by drawing it in two stages (pencils & ink) so for the rest I used ink only. Week 1 is done!
Another figure & fabric Statement exploration, this time where the drape of fabric comes from the surroundings. This pose presented some fresh challenges that can be hidden in drapey clothing: how to capture its natural balance and ease, and getting the right colors and tones in the shadows.
The sheets had a nice subtle damask stripe which was very handy for defining the shapes. When I first started into the shadows, I used a consistent gray until I noticed little patches of other colors. I realized there were two light sources: a prominent yellowish light (probably a ceiling light), and a much lighter bluish source (probably from a window). Separating these helped create more realistic lighting on the sheets and pillows. The wood was awfully close to the base burnt sienna color (with streaks of burnt umber), so the background was quite easy to clean up along the way.
My "despair" moment on this piece was making the error of using washes to lighten up the figure. It sucked out all of the color, and I ended up repainting over almost all of it. However, in the process of that, I came up with a stippling dry brush style that created a nice texture. I also found it better to gradually move towards progressively darker (or lighter) colors and mixing them as I went.
I think my first instinct when painting is to gravitate towards watercolor-style effects, but they just don't work as well in acrylic on this fast-drying claybord. The drawing-style effects like stippling or hatching turn out better. The dry-brushing is pretty hard on the brushes, but if it looks good, it's worth chewing up a brush or two along the way. I'll just be sure to get the cheap ones.

A gemstone is a piece of mineral, crystalline rock, or other organic material that is cut and polished, typically used for making jewelry. They vary in brilliance, color, clarity, hardness, and durability and display varying degrees of rarity, beauty, and desirability.
Gemstones are typically categorized as either precious, or semi precious. Precious gemstones include the likes of the well known, such as diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, and sapphires while all others fall into the semi precious category. Dont be misled, strongly colored semi precious stones of good size can be worth more than a diamond! They are further classified by Mohs scale of mineral hardness-it basically measures a minerals hardness (or scratch resistance) on a scale of 1 to 10, talc being 1 and diamond being the hardest (most scratch resistant) at 10.
In addition to being prized for their beauty, gemstones have traditionally been known to have special powers and medicinal properties. So instead of popping an ibuprofen, someone in the past (and even today!) will simply don jewelry featuring
jasper around the neck. Have a big exam? Wear your favorite
adventurine piece for the day-its thought to increase intelligence! Whether or not the claims can be substantiated, its nice to know that there is a possibility that there are other benefits to wearing awesome and fashionable natural gemstone jewelry!
We carry a wide variety of
gemstone rings,
gemstone earrings,
gemstone bracelets,
gemstone pendants, and
gemstone necklaces featuring many different types of gemstones:
citrine, rhodonite,
tiger eye,
opal, and
more. We look forward to being your top provider of stylish and affordable gemstone jewelry.

Operation Protective Edge ended in late August 2014, but most residents of the Gaza Strip are still suffering its consequences. The video shows the apartment of the Sukar family in a-Shuja'iyeh neighborhood in Gaza City, which was heavily shelled in the operation. The parents and their five children now live in an apartment that does not provide them shelter from the cold and rain: "This apartment had been hit by shells and parts of it were destroyed. Whenever it rains, the house is flooded. The children get sick with colds. I hope we'll be able to go back to our apartment, with all our belongings and furniture, especially the washing machine… This war set us forty years back…"
Gaza Strip
In response to the MAG corps announcement detailing some of the investigations opened into "exceptional" cases during operation Protective Edge, B'Tselem stated that based on past experience, it isn't holding out hope that this process will lead to results other than a whitewash. B'Tselem announced this week that it will not assist the current military investigation mechanism, which currently amounts is nothing more than a masquerade and called for the establishment of an effective, transparent and impartial mechanism.
During Operation Protective Edge, Israel violated international humanitarian law in some cases, and many other cases are highly suspect. However, B'Tselem does not intend to demand that these suspicions be investigated by Israel's current investigation mechanisms. This is due to the experience that B'Tselem gained following past military offensives in the Gaza Strip, which shows that there is currently no official body in Israel capable of conducting independent investigations of suspected violations of international humanitarian law.
B'Tselem and Yesh Din, the two leading Israeli human rights organizations in monitoring the investigations of offenses committed by security forces against Palestinians, find that the military law enforcement system is a complete failure. After examining the results of hundreds of investigations, the organizations assert that the existing investigation mechanism precludes serious investigations and is marred by severe structural flaws that render it incapable of conducting professional investigations.
According to media reports, armed Hamas operatives killed over twenty Palestinians in the Gaza Strip for allegedly collaborating with Israel. Images of the executions were published in the media. According to media reports, since Thursday 21 August 2014, some 25 Palestinians were executed, including seven persons in a central square in Gaza City.
B'Tselem's board and staff send their sincere condolences to our colleague Issam Younis, director of al-Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza, for the death of his father and his father's wife in an Israeli airstrike on Rafah, in the morning of 21 August 2014.
During the fighting in Gaza, dozens of residences were bombed while residents were at home. The following infographic lists members of families killed in their homes in 72 incidents of bombing or shelling. In these incidents, 547 people were killed, including 125 women under the age of 60, 250 minors, and 29 people over the age of 60. Mouse over the houses for more details. The figures B'Tselem collected regarding the number of Palestinians killed in the course of the fighting in the Gaza Strip are very preliminary, and are still being cross-referenced and checked.
According to B'Tselem's initial figures, at least 1,767 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip and Israel from the time fighting began through 10 Aug. 2014. The fatalities include: 431 minors (one minor participated in the hostilities), 200 women (under age 60), 85 persons aged 60 and over. During the same period two Israeli civilians, one foreign national and 64 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Israel and the Gaza Strip. The figures B'Tselem collected regarding the number of Palestinians killed in the course of the fighting in the Gaza Strip are very preliminary and incomplete. In the months ahead, B'Tselem plans to further investigate the incidents.
Airstrikes on homes were central to Israel's military policy from the start of its latest operation in Gaza. Holding Hamas responsible for the heavy toll this policy took on civilians in Gaza is a faulty premise, both legally and morally. Hamas does indeed fire at Israeli civilians, operate from within the civilian population and conceal weapons at civilian sites. Hamas must be held accountable these violations of the law. Yet this responsibility does not absolve the Israeli government and senior military officers of responsibility for the consequences of Israel's own policy and actions.
Photos of the town of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. Taken by Muhammad Sabah, B'Tselem field researcher in Gaza, on 5 August 2014, in the course of the ceasefire. Whole sections of Beit Hanoun have been demolished, making it one of the hardest hit communities in the recent offensive, along with Gaza City, Beit Lahiya, Khuza'ah and Rafah. In the course of the fighting B'Tselem collected several testimonies from Beit Hanoun residents. Click here to view photos and read testimonies.
"I drove the second ambulance, and there were two medics with me. The street is only about 200-300 meters from the call center, so we were there within minutes. When we reached the entrance to the street, we were surprised to see three tanks and a military bulldozer in the street, about 100 meters away. Suddenly, with no warning, they opened heavy machine-gun fire at us. The bullets penetrated the ambulance. I tried to turn the ambulance around to get out of there, but the steering wheel must have been hit. Suddenly, I felt sharp pain in my leg and realized I'd been hit by a bullet or shrapnel. Then the windshield shattered. Because I couldn't turn the ambulance around, I decided to try reversing. They kept firing as I backed up, until we got far enough away."
We only took several steps when, suddenly, a missile was fired at us. It landed very close to me. It hit the photojournalist directly, killing killed him. A 25-year-old paramedic was hit in the back by shrapnel. [...] I started treating a little boy, about four years old, who had been hit in the leg by shrapnel. Then I treated another paramedic [...] When we got to the vehicles, we saw they'd been damaged by the bombing, too. [...] We were left with one ambulance and one civil defense vehicle. We got in with the injured child and Fares, the injured paramedic. We headed to the hospital in those two cars [...] Along the short distance I crossed, about 300 meters, I saw a woman and six or seven children lying dead. A few meters from there, I saw two dead men. Across the road, I saw a man, woman and two small children lying dead. They may have been from a single family.
On 6 August 2014, Attorneys Hagai Kalai and Gilad Barnea submitted B'Tselem's response to the attorney general's position as presented to Israel's HCJ earlier this week as part of the state's response to the organization's petition. B'Tselem's response emphasizes that the existing rule clearly establishes that it is permissible "to broadcast a political advertisement provided that it concentrate solely on a factual message." B'Tselem's proposed radio spot meets these conditions. The Attorney General's recommendation to change rules as B'Tselem's radio spot awaits approval raises concern of improper discrimination.
"We heard an explosion nearby. [...] Then suddenly, my brother Ahmad and his wife Suha came in. They were in a panic. Ahmad said that their roof had been hit. I saw that Suha was very frightened. She was trembling. Ahmad asked us to get out of the house immediately. [...] Before we managed to get out, my mother said she wanted to use the toilet. [...] All of a sudden, I felt something pulling me into the house and everything collapsing on top of me. There was black smoke mixed with white dust. I felt I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move. I was buried in rubble."
"On Friday, 18 July 2014, about two hours after we left our home in Beit Hanoun, I heard a loud explosion. A house nearby, about 30 or 40 meters from where we were staying, was hit. [...] I went outside and ran over to the house that had been bombed. A lot of neighbors came as well. We started carrying the wounded to ambulances, which arrived quickly. After we were done carrying everyone out, we found out the results of the shelling: eight family members were killed and four were injured. I found that I knew some the people who had been killed. I knew 'Abd a-Rahman Abu Jarad, his wife, Rajaa, and their two children, a 6-month-old baby and a 6-year-old boy."
According to B'Tselem's initial figures, at least 1,510 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip and Israel in the time between early Tuesday, 8 July 2014, when Operation Protective Edge airstrikes on Gaza began, until 2 Aug. 2014.* The fatalities include: 366 minors (one minor participated in the hostilities), 174 women (under age 60), 75 senior citizens (aged 60 and over).
Since the operation began and until the evening of 3 Aug. 2014 two Israeli civilians, one foreign national and 64 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Most lethal strike on a single residential building in Gaza in many years, and probably ever: According to information received by B'Tselem, on the morning of 29 July 2014, the Israeli Air Force bombed a four-story apartment building in Khan Yunis. The building collapsed, burying its occupants. Thirty-five people were killed and 27 injured. B'Tselem will continue to investigate the inciden, Yet even at this early juncture, it can be stated that the bombing of the building was unlawful. There can be no justification for the deaths of so many civilians, including 18 minors and eight women. Israel repeatedly claims that it has no intention of harming civilians. However, after more than three weeks of lethal bombardments by Israel in the Gaza Strip which have killed hundreds of civilians and wiped out dozens of families, this claim has become meaningless.
In Israel's latest military operation in the Gaza Strip, dubbed Operation Protective Edge, many homes were bombed with residents inside, killing several family members together. The following infographic details members of families killed in 36 incidents where civilian homes were bombed or shelled. In these incidents, 251 people were killed, including 55 women, 114 minors, and 11 people over the age of 60. Roll the mouse over the houses for more details. The figures are based on B'Tselem's initial investigation. We will continue to investigate the incidents and update the figures accordingly.
"We started walking met a young man who lived in the neighborhood. He wanted to reach his home to check on his family. He wore green shirt. He asked us to help him and accompany him. [...] We were shocked by what we saw. A-Shuja'iyeh had become a real ghost town: a city of ruins, completely destroyed.[...] The house had been completely demolished. He stood in the ruins, shouting and calling Munir's name, but no one answered [...] We managed to walk just a few steps more when we heard a single gunshot. The young man fell to the ground."
Before B'Tselem's petition could be heard by the High Court of Justice (HCJ) and to counter discrimination arguments, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) pulled two patently political ads that support the Gaza offensive. The State requested an extension, stating that the Attorney General had not had enough time to formulate a position on the matter. The justices instructed the State to submit its position by Monday, 4 August 2014. The IBA and B'Tselem were given two days to respond to this position before the Court delivers its ruling.

Convenient location
Evening Meal. Breakfast.

The Rooms are nice and spacious and clean, breakfast menu good, and good location as we were visiting relatives nearby.
The only thing I would complain about, we had a meal in the evening and it was quite a wait for it to arrive.
Probably one of the lovelyist and most friendly places ive ever stayed. Food and beer lovely and for a great price.

Wilkinson released to Toulon
ESPNscrum Staff
February 16, 2011
Jonny Wilkinson will be back for Toulon this weekend © Getty Images
Jonny Wilkinson has been released from the England camp in order to join up with Toulon for Top 14 action this weekend.
The fly-half has opted to get game-time under his belt after playing only a cameo role in England's opening Six Nations clashes, although the majority of Martin Johnson's squad have been rested for the weekend's domestic fixtures.
Leicester's Toby Flood retained the No.10 jersey for victories over Wales and Italy, leaving Wilkinson eager to lace up his boots for Toulon's clash with Agen at the Stade Armandie on Saturday. The play-off hopefuls are currently without the injured Felipe Contepomi and Gavin Henson.
Ireland pivot Ronan O'Gara will also be on duty this weekend for Munster, having fulfilled a similar supporting brief to Wilkinson so far in the Championship.
The 33-year-old playmaker saved Ireland with a late drop-goal in their opening showdown against Italy in Rome but was unable to pull off similar heroics in last weekend's loss to France in Dublin.
He has been joined in the squad for Munster's Friday night meeting with Edinburgh at Thomond Park by back-rower Denis Leamy and scrum-half Peter Stringer.

Harlem River Ship Canal
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013)
The Harlem River Ship Canal is a channel connecting the Hudson River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek to the Harlem River in New York City, separating the neighborhood of Marble Hill from the island of Manhattan. Marble Hill, part of the borough of Manhattan, was cut off from the island by the construction of the ship canal and is now located on the mainland after the previous course of the creek was filled in.
The Harlem River Ship Canal was cut through upper Manhattan to allow larger ships to navigate. It was completed in 1895. To allow passage through the remainder of the river, the existing fixed bridges were replaced by drawbridges.
Spuyten Duyvil Creek originally flowed north of Manhattan's Marble Hill, and the completion of the canal to the south turned Marble Hill into an island, until 1914, when the original creekbed was filled in and Marble Hill became physically attached to the Bronx.
Today Spuyten Duyvil Creek, the Harlem River Ship Canal, and the Harlem River form a continuous channel. The Ship Canal is crossed by the Broadway Bridge, a vertical lift bridge carrying vehicular and pedestrian traffic on one level, and the subway on the upper level.
