How fitting is this? In January 2008 a Fresh & Easy market opened on Sycamore Street and Hollywood Boulevard. On March 20, 2009 a "fresh & easy" group called the Miracles was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the same intersection. I say "fresh & easy" because Motown's Miracles, fronted by Smokey Robinson, delivered some of the most endearing, refreshing, and easy-listening music of all time. Songs like "Tracks of My Tears" and "More Love" are soundtracks to the world in which we live today. The event was engineered by Ron Brewington who also is credited with getting the late Marvin Gaye on the star walk.
Few people can say they wrote songs that were recorded by the Miracles during the Motown heyday, because they (Smokey being the principle writer) wrote their own songs. I was standing next to songwriters Eddie and Brian Holland (of the Holland/Dozier/Holland [HDH] team) as the Miracles – Robinson, Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, Claudette Robinson, Ronnie White (posthumously), and Billy Griffin (who took over lead vocal assignments after Smokey departed the group in 1972) – were being honored.
In 1966 HDH wrote and produced a song on the Miracles called "Come 'Round Here (I'm the One You Need)". That song in my opinion epitomizes what the Miracles were all about. The single version of the song with "Save Me" as the "B" side showcased a determined and convincing Smokey Robinson lead vocal and an amazing background vocal pattern that was developed by Lamont Dozier as Eddie Holland recalls.
"Lamont was assigned background details…the Miracles were interesting and very provocative…Smokey was the best we had at Motown", said Eddie. Even though his reputation for writing great lyrics earned him the title of "the Pen", Eddie went on to say, "I always felt Smokey was the best".
The entire ceremony was fantastic! Smokey and Berry Gordy had just returned from a taping of American Idol staged at the Motown Museum the day before in Detroit. Stevie Wonder gave opening remarks, followed by Gordy, and the crowd was exuberant!
The reception was attended as if it were a Motown family reunion. Mary Wilson of the Supremes was there as well as Cornelius Grant, Scherrie and Freda Payne, Louis Price, Iris Gordy, Janie Bradford, Marvin Marshall, Robert Bateman, Betty Kelly, Miller London and a host of others.
The Miracles – as they were known before they became Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, were the premier Motown act with other such hits as "Shop Around"; "You've Really Got A Hold On Me"; and "I Second That Emotion".

"American Gladiators" Getting Back in the Ring
"American Gladiators" Getting Back in the Ring
Paging Gemini, Turbo and Lace!
NBC is bringing "American Gladiators" back to television, aiming for a debut in the middle of the upcoming TV season. The show will follow four male and four female gladiators as they battle amateur athletes.
It's not just about physical prowess.
This show will take its cues from the original British version, which focused more on the back stories of the contestants and gladiators. An NBC executive told Variety that this show "will have the scale, scope, different characters and family drama that the U.K. version had." You know, I always did wonder what Ice was like when she wasn't whacking someone in the face with a giant foam jousting paddle.
So you wanna be a gladiator?
Lucky for you, NBC is already accepting applications. (One of the questions: "Do you work out?" Heh.)
No word yet on whether they'll still wear spandex.
Also, my fingers are crossed for the return of "assault," the awesome game with the tennis ball cannon.
Want to watch the original "Gladiators" intro?
Of course you do. Just

Apologies have been made to an angry couple after their appointments at Braintree Community Hospital had to be cancelled at the last minute.
Gerry and Jane Gardiner, of Broad Road, Bocking, said they both attended the hospital in Chadwick Drive for pre-planned appointments within a fortnight, only for their consultants, coming from Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, not to show up.
Mr Gardiner, 70, had an appointment on January 2, while Mrs Gardiner, 69, was due to see her consultant about a hip replacement on January 8.
A Mid Essex Hospital Trust spokesman said: "Mid Essex Hospitals apologises for the inconvenience caused to our two patients by the cancellation of their clinic appointments.
"The first cancellation was due to an administrative error, with the appointment date not being put into the consultant's diary for that day.
"The second cancellation was due to the consultant being on call, and this was confirmed to Braintree Community Hospital prior to the appointment date. However, the hospital was unable to contact the patient in time to rearrange the appointment."

HE FIRST delighted us with his crunchy, delicious and high-quality potato chips. Now, Tim Kennedy has turned to more ethereal agricultural pursuits as a Walla Walla Valley grape grower and winery owner.
It's actually Kennedy's third career.
In the 1980s, he was an electronics engineer for a company that made packaging machines for the snack industry. In 1986, he became determined to make high-quality, kettle-style chips. So he launched Tim's Cascade Style Potato Chips in Auburn and created a favorite among Northwest snackers using Washington potatoes. In 2006, he sold Tim's to Birds Eye Foods (now owned by Pinnacle Foods), and he and his wife, Lori, retired to the sunny side of the state.
"Ironically, we settled in the Walla Walla Valley without thinking of getting into the wine industry," he said. "We're following my wife's dream now."

The couple bought an apple orchard in 2006 on the Oregon side of the valley near the town of Milton-Freewater. They removed about 10 acres of trees and planted chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc, and in 2007 launched Don Carlo Vineyard with Lori as winemaker and Tim farming the vineyard.
"I'm outdoors more now than I was in the chip industry," he said.
They named the winery after Lori Kennedy's grandfather Carlo, who emigrated from Italy's Calabria area in the 1930s and settled in Seattle. He loved making wine for his family. Today, his handsome face adorns the label that carries his name.
For the first few years, they were open by appointment. But in 2011, they were among the first wineries to open a separate tasting room in the lobby of the historic Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla. There, they had easy access to hundreds of guests as well as thousands of visitors who arrived in town each weekend.
This winter, they decided to move back to the southern valley and open a tasting room at their winemaking facility to keep everything closer to home.
Kennedy also is helping build the next generation of Washington winemakers and grape growers, serving on the Wine Science Center Development Board, which is building the Wine Science Center on the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus in Richland. When it is completed next year, the Wine Science Center will be a world-class facility for education and research in the heart of Washington wine country.
At the annual Walla Walla Valley Spring Release Weekend, which is May 2-4, the Kennedys will be releasing their 2012 chardonnay, as well as a new wine called Big Poppa's Red, a premium blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and sangiovese. It's an homage to Carlo.
More than 100 wineries will be open throughout the valley during the three-day event, which is the biggest weekend in Washington wine country. Be sure to put Don Carlo on your itinerary.

Hugs and More Hugs
When my son was first born, it seemed like I couldn't snuggle and hug him enough. I wondered if I was smothering him. Did he need his own baby space? But it seemed as if he was enjoying every second of it!
I remember looking at his face, and cataloging every inch of it to my memory. It seemed like he was doing the same thing to me as we laid together looking at one another.
Through out the first week, we spent lots of time doing this. I'd lay him on the bed in the morning and let him stretch out and coo, while I laid right down next to him and rubbed his tummy, kissed his head and smelled his sweet new baby smell. There's really nothing like new baby smell. It's a sweetness that could never be replicated. I was so lucky to have this time with him. We were bonding in the best way. And he knew it.

If there was a time when point shooting would be a lifesaver, this would be it. I do not mean hip shooting, blazing away. What I mean is bring the weapon up to point shoulder and fire. The method Jim Gregg uses is similar to what I was taught as a young pup copper.
15 yards is the maximum distance for this type of shooting to be effective. Do not move forward or back, you are not accomplishing anything, move laterally. Most effective when done explosively, nothing saying you cannot circle the BG firing. The situation will for a certain point determine what, how, where the fight happens.
One thing to remember, when you are in the most danger is when its ON. What I mean by that is if you miss the selection process, your first sign of danger may well be that sucker punch that seemingly comes out of nowhere. If we are very lucky, we see the predator searching for prey, or they approach and attempt to engage you in conversation to draw you in.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.

Things to Remember about Prayer - Lesson X
Posted on Jul 22 2011 at 07:09:11 AM in Religion & Spirituality
Things to Remember about Prayer - Lesson X
John 15:16. We were chosen by Jesus, and appointed to go and bear fruit, that our fruit must remain, that whatsoever we shall ask the Father in His Name, He may give it to us.
The fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16.
His chosen, to bear fruit, to the glory of God. Where this is a reality in a Christian's life, this promise is added, the qualification for effectual prayer being answered.
I John 3:22. 'Whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.'
Our relationship to God, as a child to a father, must be one of subjection, surrender to His authority, His will. This was the whole activity of Jesus on earth. This also brings the promise and gift of the Holy Spirit. We show our love for our Savior by keeping His words, and then the Father and the Savior will come and take up their abode in Him. To trust and obey is the only way to surrender to God and His will. Then God will be to them all He has promised to be.
We have most often prayed for strength and guidance and power to bear much fruit but the answer didn't come. This was the opposite order from what God prescribed. He wanted us to walk in faith, in obedience, and this would also be the path where we would be given the power of prevailing prayer. It is the obedience of faith. Just as a natural father would greatly reward the obedient son, so would our Heavenly Father reward us.
This submission to authority is one of the most difficult things for sinful men. We want to make all our own decisions as if we knew best. No wonder how little we have prevailed in prayer.
Jesus went so far as to say, 'Ye are my friends if ye do the things which I command you.' The purpose of fruit-bearing is for others' benefit. Are we up to this kind of life? Is it even possible? Is our present life pleasing in His sight. This is the purpose of His choosing us, that we must reach out to others in love. In this we will find His blessing - by keeping His commandments. Whatsoever we ask, we receive. What we grasp in obedience, we also grasp in power to pray within His promises, and appropriate them. This can also be seen as deeper growth of the branch as it accepts its source of life and power in the Vine, and thus the fruit becomes the natural and healthy outcome.
We must strive to grow and mature into the full stature of the perfectly prepared man, obedient to God's will and whose prayer is to ask what will be received. We must yield our shortsighted and selfish wills to God's will as revealed to us in His Word, and perfectly shown in the ministry of Jesus. He perfectly obeyed the will of the Father. His prayers were always answered as He obeyed. This is our example to strive for; give us the will and strength to act out in faith to follow this path our entire lives.
The Importance and Essential Aspect of Praying in the Name of Jesus. (John 14:13,14; 15:16; 16:23,24,26.) He repeated this so many times to emphasize the absolute necessity and all-sufficiency of His Name to be used in our prayers. All answers depended on the correct use of His Name.
A name brings to mind all that is known of that person. His life, words, deeds, our experiences with him. Just so, the name, Jesus Christ, brings up all that He Is, and Has done and continues to do for us as our Mediator. What does it mean to do something in another person's name? It is as that person's representative, their authority and power. No one should use another's name without permission, but only with their blessing and approval. And that is not given unless that person is sure that the other has the same interests and intentions, and will act honorably.
Jesus goes far beyond that. He gives to all those that believe in Him, a general and unlimited permission of use of His Name at all times and for all our needs. This includes and shows His confidence in our correct use of His Name. The use of another's name also shows that our name is therefore of much less importance. I, in effect, am standing in place of the other, representing him and not myself. I stand for his interests – and doing his will, not my own.
When Jesus ascended to His place of honor in heaven, He left to His followers the work He began, His kingdom on earth. As His representatives, He gave them and us His Name as authority to call for what they needed to carry on that work: the spreading of the Gospel and the building up of the church. To the extent that they are true to their calling, they will be given the spiritual power to call upon the Name of Jesus for all their needs.
By being children of God through Him we also have a life-union, a close fellowship with Him, one in Spirit. The closer the relationship, the greater the power in using His Name. Just as an earthly child will be given more by the parents - according to the child's closeness and shared goals and interests with the parents. In both cases, the uniting factor is love. This is also seen in the bride who gives up her name to then be in the bridegroom's name, and she then has free use of that name.
So Jesus loved us and called us unto Himself into a life-union. He gives us the right to use His Name for our needs. It also represents the giving up of our own name and life and joining another, thereby accepting all that that person has is now ours also. As we are His, so all He has is ours. To ask in Jesus' Name is to ask in union of life and love and interest with Him, as one who lives with and for Him.
The Name of Jesus represents the spiritual power that rules and guides my life. The more that it does so, so also will that bring power in prayer with God. The power that His name has on my life, is the power it will have in my prayer. We are called to do all as unto the Lord Jesus Christ. Many have died because they would not deny the Name of Jesus. When His Name is everything to us, it will bring everything to us. As we bear that Name before men, so we have the right to use it before God. We need to continually ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the riches of blessing we may grow into as we mature and understand the right use of that Holy Name.
The Name that is above every name, in heaven and in earth. The Name that before it one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that Jesus is Lord of all. The bounteous supplies of heavenly grace and spiritual power is placed before us, to be used for the benefit of God's children, and those around them. The key is given in the precious Name of Jesus. His promise is sure: 'Whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, THAT WILL I DO.'
Lord, we must continue to be alert and aware of what a great and certain promise this is. May we grow and increase in living to honor and share and spread that Name and all it includes to a lost and dying world. That all we do and say is in His Blessed Name to God's glory. That we may be constantly and more consistently about OUR FATHER'S business. And that as we do so, our prayer will also be in the furtherance of His will, and so will have power with Him, and that the Father will give. It is not limited by what God thinks of us, but it is unlimited by what the Father thinks of His Son. God, please help us to learn the value of that Name.
The Holy Spirit was given to us to teach us about Jesus, that we would grow to bring increasing honor to that Name. The more we say and do and pray in that Name, the more power we are given in prayer to glorify that Name. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but that we must be busy and striving to the high calling we have in Christ Jesus. His Name is the strength and power of our lives and our prayers. We must be consistently in His Word, for they are spirit and they are life. Through the Spirit they hold the power of an endless life, which has been given to us through Jesus.
God, may Thy spirit and Thy word guide, direct, and strengthen us, unto every good work, and especially that we may pray aright and call down the blessings of heaven, to the eternal glory of the Father, all for and in That Name. It is above every name, worthy of all honor, and glory, and blessing, and riches, and wisdom, and praise, forever, Amen.
As the Father is always willing to give what Jesus asks, so His Spirit teaches and guides us to also pray for those things that He presents to the Father. To pray in the Spirit is to pray according to the will of God, and also is to pray in Christ's Name. God has given us His great mercy and love through Jesus, our Savior and Advocate. Also the Holy Spirit is within us, to form a union of love that is eternal, beginning here and now, and to be completed there and then.
We must realize and remember that through the Spirit we have direct communion and communication with the Son, and the Son communicates directly to the Father for us. As we are taught by the Spirit, we pray aright for God's blessing upon our work for Him, so we have the promise of the Savior to intercede with the Father, and the answer is given. The promise is simple and clearly stated, without stipulation. To be in Christ is to live for Christ, and to pray in His name as we are busy about His work, His promise is sure and what we ask He will do.
As we spread the Gospel of His Son, we do the will of the Father. As we represent Him, we are given the strength and guidance to do the task. As we pray in His Name, we are given what we ask to do His work, all to the glory of the Father – He Who planned our salvation before the foundation of the world – Who knows us more intimately than we know ourselves. God also knows more than we are able to ask. He blesses us beyond what we are able to perceive or understand.
And all for the sake of His only begotten Son, the Light of the world, the Lamb of God, the Prince of Peace, the king of kings and lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Righteous Judge, the Consummation of all things, the Righteous Branch, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Seed of the woman, the Messiah, the Redeemer, the Advocate, the High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, the Bread of Life, the True Vine, the Sower, the Good Shepherd, the Son of David, the Son of Man, the Son of God.
In His Name, we are blessed forever. Let us never be shy to say His Name, for it is the most powerful name in the whole universe, for so has God ordained to place all things under His feet. Though this is yet future – it makes it no less certain. As sure as His life, death, resurrection, and ascension are, so also are the prophecies yet unfulfilled. For He Who promised has the power and the authority to carry out each and every detail perfectly. We must work while it is yet day, for the night is coming. We await His call to us in the Rapture, which could be at any time, for the world is hastening toward the time of Jacob's trouble, the Great Tribulation as never before seen on the earth, nor will ever be again. And then Christ's Second Coming to the Earth and Righteous Judge to rule the nations for a thousand years. Continually Praise His Name, Amen.

Huge Demand at Astoria Co-Op Development
The Daily News checks out Astoria Lights, a former rental building at 24-75 38th Street converted into a new co-op development. According to the News, "Sales kicked off only two weeks ago, but more than 600 people streamed through the doors of these four H-shaped apartment buildings on consecutive Sundays. They were fighting for the chance to own one of only a dozen apartments — and they made a total of 63 offers." Prices here range from a one bedroom asking $199,000 to three-bedrooms going for $599,000. The building developers, who renovate each unit as it empties out, plan to put all 140 units on the market eventually. The prewar apartments with modern upgrades stand out in a market dominated by old co-ops or new condos. Buyers also like the location, the generously-sized spaces, and those prices. If you'd like to see what all the fuss is about, there's another open house at the building this Sunday.
It's the Hottest Building in Town! And it's in Astoria, Queens! [NY Daily News] GMAP

Big Bird Should Leave the Nest
Romney was right about public broadcasting.Commentary by Pete du Pont
January 31, 2013
Source: Wall Street Journal
It's time to end the federal subsidy for public broadcasting. Doing so now would be good for President Obama, Congress and the American taxpayers. And, it would also be beneficial for public broadcasting's two arms, radio's NPR and television's Public Broadcasting Service.
Mitt Romney had many excellent ideas about reshaping the role of the federal government, and one of those ideas was letting public broadcasting stand on its own. Although the media and the liberal intelligentsia widely mocked Mr. Romney's effort to "kill Big Bird," he was right on target in his first presidential debate with Mr. Obama when he said, "I like PBS. I love Big Bird," but added, "I'm not going to keep on spending money on things" that require us "to borrow money from China to pay for."
Mr. Romney lost, but while Mr. Obama's inaugural speech last week did not include much to hearten conservatives and other backers of a smaller and more responsible federal government, he did say Americans have not "succumbed to the fiction that all society's ills can be cured through government alone," that we "understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time," and that we "must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government."
Unfortunately, Mr. Obama, now freed from the constraints of re-election, used much of the speech to lay out an aggressive liberal—and therefore costly—agenda. But right now the country wants the president to show at least some interest in fiscal responsibility. Voters want the president and Republicans in Congress to try to find common ground where possible. Eliminating the spending on public broadcasting fits the bill.
Dropping federal support for public broadcasting would reduce our national debt by around $5 billion over a decade. Now, $5 billion over a decade is probably not considered "real money" in Washington, but it should be.
Obviously, more would be needed, but the president and Congress coming together on this relatively easy $5 billion would show that some common ground can be achieved and that they can work together. Who knows what could happen after this? Could we see the elimination of wasteful spending in the farm bill that is up for renewal this year? Could we see a well-deserved reduction or elimination of corporate welfare? Perhaps even an agreement to end the almost-always counterproductive green energy subsidies?
Defenders of federal spending on public broadcasting always fall back to the argument that it provides a range of programming, particularly educational programming, that might not be found, or might not be affordable, otherwise. There is also a desire to make sure rural areas have at least some access to this programming.
Those would be excellent rationales for this use of federal money if we still lived in the world as it was in the 1960s when the Corp. for Public Broadcasting was formed. But, we don't; the world changes and the broadcasting and educational landscape has changed tremendously since CPB's founding. Cable and satellite have provided a buffet of interesting news, cultural, and educational offerings for years. And the Internet—with its ubiquitous availability in homes, schools and libraries, and on cellphones, iPads and Kindles—provides far more access to information than public broadcasting ever could.
In any event, public broadcasting would survive without the federal taxpayer support. Would a loss of federal dollars that provide 15% to 16% of its funding cause some pain and require some adjustments? Of course, so maybe the cut can be phased in over two or three years, while PBS and NPR work to draw on their donor base, foundation and corporate supporters, continued support from states and localities, and enhanced advertising opportunities to fill the gap. It could be liberating. The CPB has asked Congress for multiyear federal funding commitments in order to partially shield it from what it calls the threat of "immediate political pressure" on its programming. Would it not be better to completely shield it by removing its reliance on such funding altogether?
PBS has great programming such as "Sesame Street," "Nova," "NewsHour," "Washington Week," and "Masterpiece Theatre," which will survive just fine and drive viewers, donors and sponsors to support other PBS programming. The same is true for NPR, with "Fresh Air," "A Prairie Home Companion," "All Things Considered" and "Car Talk." They will continue to thrive.
Perhaps these entities will need to tighten their belts a bit, but is that not what families and businesses do all the time? In the meantime, Washington will have taken a long overdue first (albeit small) step toward reshaping our nation's government for our times and restoring our fiscal health.

About 37 of the third-chance pets will be flown to facilities in New York and Canada by the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which saves animals at risk to be euthanized by transferring them to homes or adoption-only facilities throughout North America.
"We are fortunate to have space at the center to house these adoptable dogs and cats until transportation can be arranged to take them to their new homes," said Irvine shelter administrator Ron R. Edwards. "We have worked with the Heigl Foundation on many occasions and are very happy to continue this life-saving partnership."
The shelter's Home for the Holidays event welcomed 3,000 attendees and raised more than $40,000, according to the city. Proceeds from the event will go toward caring for the thousands of homeless animals that enter the center each year.

This is the same as the exim's accept_8bitmime option. In the real world, violating the rfc is a non-issue, as most likely the only non-8bitmime compliant servers your server encouters are qmail and exim4, both which have no problems with 8bit mails itself.

This means dirt and debris sit on the outside of the fibers, allowing it to be vacuumed up easily. Pure wool rugs will shed noticeably for the first few months and will diminish over time.

Rug Design Process
Long before our rugs are woven, they start as a vision of color, composition and material. We design our rugs with inspiration from art and architecture to historical designs and nature. Every color, pattern and texture is carefully considered to ensure the rugs are both beautiful and easy to live with. We use the highest quality yarns for durability and longevity. Rugs set the foundation for your room and we're committed to bringing you an exclusive collection of colors, styles and textures that will last.
How It's Made
Experienced weavers use an upright or hand loom and traditional techniques to make hand-woven rugs and they can complete from four to seven inches per day. Artisans are able to produce a variety of textures and patterns, from flat weave to plush.
Hand-woven rugs are made on a loom, using warp (vertical) yarns that are tightly interwoven with weft (horizontal) yarns. The weft strands cover the warp and determine the color that is visible, creating the rug's pattern. A number of weaving techniques are used and chosen based on the type of pattern, texture or design required. Many of the methods have been in use for hundreds, or even thousands, of years.
Finish Details
Hand-woven rugs do not require a backing because the strands are secured through the weaving process. An array of washing techniques are used, each of which achieves a different effect. Our hand-woven rugs are hand-finished and every rug goes through a range of quality inspections, looking for consistency in size, yarn quality, pile height and shearing.

JERUSALEM (Feb. 24)
Election fever is running high in Israel and excitement is rising as the country's numerous political parties and factions–some old, some new-born–prepare to put their fortunes on the line when the voters go to the polls May 17. As in all modern democracies, there has been a plethora of public opinion polls–politicians and voters alike, it would seem, cannot wait for the returns to be in. They want to know, months in advance, what the likely outcome will be.
But different polls tell different stories. On one thing, however, they all seem to agree: at this point, slightly less than three months before election day, up to 50 percent of the voters have not decided which party to support.
They are, instead, waiting and watching to see how the Labor Party will meet the challenges ahead; the efforts of Likud to modify its hawkish image; the birth pangs of Prof. Yigal Yadin's new Democratic Movement for Change; the threatened disintegration of the Independent Liberal Party; the personal conflicts within the National Religious Party; the intensive but as yet fruitless negotiations among the left-of-center groups to establish a strong socialist party.
The voting public also sees nightly on television, high-ranking military officers and senior civil servants announcing their resignations and proclaiming their devotion to one or another political faction. All of them would like to sit in the next Knesset. But the law requires them to resign from State service at least 100 days before the elections.
If the polls show one thing it is that the electorate anticipates great changes on May 17 and the beginning of a new political era for Israel. But past experience in politics shows that such expectations may be an illusion. The power structure in Israel is not likely to change.
One important element to be considered is that foreign policy developments can influence the national atmosphere before election day. Premier Yitzhak Rabin will visit Washington early in March. Efforts here and in the U.S. to resume peace talks before the end of this year may have a considerable impact on who the voters favor in May.
Moreover, all but the most naive voters realize that the various parties are making an all-out effort to gain support from every segment and in so doing frequently abandon their stated principles and declared goals. The Labor Party, for example, does not dare to present a clearly dovish approach that some of its leaders would favor. It prefers a watered-down ideology and vague formulations that will satisfy both the doves and hawks in its ranks.
Likud, trying to muster the widest possible support, is playing down its hard line platform on the future of the administered territories. Some elements in Likud would like to retire veteran Herut leader Menachem Beigin whose uncompromising rhetoric has frightened voters in the past.
The Democratic Movement for Change has benefited from the disillusionment of both hawks and doves with the major parties and has become a political haven for both. But in order to keep that uneasy coalition together until election day it has remained vague and non-committal as to its policies.
The NRP was on the verge of a split when former Religious Affairs Minister Yitzhak Raphael announced he would quit the party if he was given a low place on its election list that would prevent his winning a Knesset seat. According to the latest reports, however, Raphael is once more back in the bosom of his party.
There are many leftist splinter factions which are trying to coalesce into a single powerful socialist bloc. But while their ideological differences may be reconcilable their personality conflicts apparently are not.
It is too early to say whether the mushrooming of new political factions–one seems to be born every day–will seriously affect the established parties. In any event. Israelis have a hard time keeping up with them. In the past 24 hours alone, three new lists announced themselves as contenders for Knesset seats.
One is a Womens List marching under a feminist banner. Another is a loosely organized coalition of wives, mothers and parents of soldiers who think a new war can be prevented only if Israel refuses to withdraw from the administered territories. The third represents 30,000 Holocaust survivors who demand better treatment and higher compensation from the government.
A fourth list has also emerged, headed by Yehoshua Peretz, former boss of the Ashdod port workers. He announced, however, that he would link up with the Black Panthers to form a coalition that speaks for the underprivileged.
Meanwhile, the Independent Liberal Party which has been a partner in many Labor-led coalition governments, seems to be in its death throes. The ILP represents middle-class Israelis who came here from Eastern and Central Europe before and after the State was founded. It follows a moderate course in foreign affairs, favors far-reaching territorial concessions in exchange for peace and major domestic reforms. It has never had more than a half dozen seats in parliament and holds only four in the present Knesset.
The ILP is trapped in a constitutional quirk. Its two leaders, Moshe Kol and Gideon Hausner, resigned from the Rabin Cabinet last year because the Premier failed to respond to their demands for internal changes. But the Supreme Court ruled their resignations invalid since they became effective only after the Rabin government was transformed into a care-taker regime from which ministers are barred by law from quitting.
Meanwhile, another ILP leader, Hillel Seidel, resigned from the party and joined Likud. He is trying to influence other party members to do the same on the grounds that ILP programs can be realized only within the framework of a major party. But Seidel, whose hawkish views were always closer to Likud than the ILP, is regarded as a maverick in Israeli politics.
In recent weeks, the ILP has sought to form a coalition with Yadin's group, with Shulamit Aloni's Civil Rights Party and even with Gen. Ariel Sharon's Shlomzion faction, But all of these attempts have foundered on ideological or personality grounds.

Politics of Tuesday, 20 November 2012
Source: Isaac Kyei Andoh
Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the Peoples National Convention Bala Maikanan has called on Ghanaian to look to the PNC for better and a more people centered leadership.
Speaking in an interview with this reporter, the former Parliamentary Candidate for the party in the Ablekuma North Constituency, cautioned Ghanians on the habitual substitute of the NDC for the NPP when either of them fail to deliver on their promises and provide solution to problems confronting the country is depriving the country of its fair share of development.. According to him, the believe by the NPP and NDC that they are always the automatic replacement, has generated complacency amongst the so called two biggest parties in the country. He said a PNC Government can be counted on to deliver to Ghanian people because they would not want to revisit the hardship of opposition.
"After being in opposition for over 30 years, we have learnt alot of lessons and know how to better the lives of Ghanians"
"The only way Ghanians would develop and gain the respect of politicians to vote massively against the NDC and NPP and send a clear signal that Ghanians know what they want and would no longer settle for less." He added.
He further called on the rank and file of the Peoples Nations Convention to rally behind the Hassan Ayariga the presidential candidate as he is gradually winning the heart of the youth and command a great deal of respect amongst the elderly.
"In Hassan Ayariga, we have a young patriotic flag bearer who has the know how to better the lives of Ghanians through his in dept knowledge on entrepreneurship"
"Ghana needs a business oriented person who is not necessary a business tycoon but rather understand the toils of the small and medium scale business sector of our economy."
"This is the man we have in Hassan Ayariga, he has been there and worked his way to the top, this is the man Ghana needs." He concluded.

Beaver Falls, PA - For the second time this season, Geneva College junior forward Matt Lorello has been named Presidents′ Athletic Conference men′s basketball player of the week. Lorello and the Golden Tornadoes split a pair of conference games last week against Saint Vincent and W & J as Lorello was nearly unstoppable in the post. Currently leading the conference in field goal percentage, Lorello was 18-22 (82%) from the field in the two games as he averaged 20 points.
Lorello scored 21 points on 9-13 shooting in a loss to Saint Vincent last Wednesday. He added eight rebounds and four assists against the Bearcats. On Saturday afternoon, Lorello was a perfect 9-9 from the field with 19 points, five boards and four assists.
Lorello leads a 4-11 Geneva team and is third in the conference with his 16.1 points per game. While leading the league with a 63% mark from the field, he is also fifth in the PAC with 7.1 rebounds per contest.
Despite a 4-11 overall mark, Geneva takes its 3-4 conference record into New Wilmington tonight to face Westminster College. The Golden Tornadoes are currently tied with Grove City for fifth place in the conference.

An outbreak of canine parvovirus at the Windsor-Essex Humane Society forced the temporary closure of most kennels and euthanizing of five dogs.
Humane society loses five dogs during parvovirus outbreak
An outbreak of canine parvovirus at the Windsor-Essex Humane Society forced the temporary closure of most kennels and euthanizing of five dogs.
"It's definitely something we don't like to see," said Melanie Coulter, executive director for the humane society. "Even with treatment, it's really tough for puppies to recover from.
"It's heartbreaking because it's something so preventable (with a vaccine)."
One dog survived after receiving treatment for the virus, while another 10 were quarantined for two weeks each as a precaution, Coulter said.
Remaining puppies at the humane society were sent off to foster homes, also as a precaution.
The outbreak started shortly after Christmas. The disease is believed to have been brought into the shelter by a a six-month-old shepherd puppy.
Canine parvovirus can be deadly disease — especially among young puppies. It causes gastrointestinal tract damage and dehydration. It is most often spread by contact with an infected dog's feces. Among symptoms are lethargy, diarrhea, fever, vomiting and loss of appetite.
Everything is back to normal and the humane society's 30 dog kennels are open, Coulter said.
"It definitely was a challenging situation because we are not a huge shelter," she said. "Adequate quarantine is a challenge for us and it's a difficult illness.
"Windsor is seeing more cases (of canine parvovirus). It's been a heightened year for the illness. We are launching a vaccine awareness program. It's entirely preventable as long as dogs are vaccinated."
Puppies and dogs taken in by the humane society are vaccinated, but that doesn't stop the virus if an animal comes in already infected, Coulter said.
The disease is "extremely contagious" and required repeated scrubbing and bleaching of the affected kennel areas in order to restore them to healthy and safe lodging for the dogs, she said.
Other animals sheltered at the humane society were not affected since the canine parvovirus is not transferable to them.

Sunday's arguably the slowest newsday so chances are if you have a roaring good time on Saturday night, get arrested and you're guaranteed to make the rounds on Sunday since nothing else is happening. Just ask Big Boi. According to TMZ, the rapper was arrested in Miami on Sunday after he was found carrying ecstasy pills, MDMA powder and the always embarrassing Viagra. According to the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department, all charges are felonies.
Reportedly, Big was returning to the U.S. from a cruise when things went awry. Big's lawyer Daniel Kane release a statement that "While Big Boi was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage" and his client's good name will be cleared once all the facts are sorted. For his part, Big didn't seem to be stressed about the situation, gauging by his Twitter status.
Contrary to what many may be thinking, using Viagra isn't that unusual for pimps, players and hustlers in the South. Not that the drug is needed but who doesn't enjoy an enhanced experience? And hell, Mike and Big referenced "blue diamonds" all the way back on 2003's "A.D.I.D.A.S." so Antwan ain't new to this, he's true to this. Still, I giggled after read a Facebook comment referring to him as "Daddy Flat Sacks."
Don't stress it, Big. Continue to keep your head up.

|Illustration done by John Picacio for Millipede Press's art book Artists Inspired By H.P. Lovecraft
There was no rhyme or reason for Oliver Bixby to ever begin to pursue the arcane arts of necromancy. His New-England born parents had roots extending all the way back to the Mayflower era and only immigrated to the Caicos Islands in the Caribbean after the conclusion of the American Revolution, as the British army and colonial Loyalists were forced out of the burgeoning new country. Luckily for the young Bixby his father, Frederick Bixby, the sole earner in the family had a preternatural ability for business and within a few years had acquired some land and began a small but profitable business exporting cotton to England's faraway colonies. Over time, Frederick acquired more and more land and in turn his increased wealth allowed him to purchase newly arrived Africans as cheap labor to work his fields. By the time Ollie was born the Bixby estate had 100 slaves and expanded to the size of three plantations. Ollie's mother, Abigail, was a unique woman, foregoing the teachings of the church and the rigid rules which bound women to their husbands, fathers, and sons, Abigail was quite the lone wolf. Her behavior, to say the least, would have driven most men to drink but Frederick loved his wife and never struck or argued with her. All in all, young Oliver had quite an ordinary life, relatively speaking.

Henri the Existential Cat Is Still Questioning the Meaning of Existence
You may be a fan of Henri the existential cat's depressed musings on the meaning of life, but Henri couldn't care less. "I'm told I'm famous on the internet," he says in his latest video. "But for what? My torment?" As you can see, not much has changed since we last saw the thoroughly downbeat cat.
Henri is still plagued by malaise and completely disillusioned with the world. "Nothing changes, and each day blends into the next," he complains.
But eventually, things do change (for the worse) and Henri is stuffed inside a carrier and taken to the vet. "The 'doctor' cures nothing, yet they keep sending me," he says.
Henri tries to explain his "depressive state" to the vet, but he simply checks for gunk in Henri's ears instead. "They pronounce me healthy, as always," notes the sad cat.
After suffering this indignity for the last time, Henri pledges to become the master of his own destiny. "From now on, I will be in charge of my own fate," he vows. "No longer subject to the whims of my caretakers." Good luck, Henri. If that doesn't work, there's always kitty Prozac.

PBS Kids[/caption]
Those unbelievably energetic wildlife explorer brothers Chris and Martin Kratt (Zooboomafoo, Kratts Creatures) are about to take you down… into the ocean that is. In a one-hour Wild Kratts: Lost at Sea special, airing on PBS on Monday, January 21 (check your local listings), the guys' animated personas will head to the corral reef in "Blowfish Blowout" and then try to talk to the dolphins in "Speaking Dolphinese." After brief live-action intros by the brothers in both episodes, it launches into the Wild Kratts setup where animated versions of the guys and the rest of their team (Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy), go on an adventure. The special, with its mix of humor, action, and animal info, continues the series' winning tradition of being educational without ever feeling like a lesson.
Take a look a the trailer below:
The special will also be available on DVD on Jan. 22. The Kratts also have a new app, Wild Kratts Creature Power, and a new online science game, Dolphin Dive, the first PBS KIDS online game to include real animal sounds.

As basketball fans, we are privileged to have such an entertaining NBA Finals set up for this season. Of course it would be better if the Celtics were in it instead of the Heat, but one can't argue over how exciting it will be to watch LeBron James and Kevin Durant go head-to-head with each other.
For the past half decade, Kobe Bryant and James were arguably the two best players in the NBA. Some believed Bryant was number one and James number two, or vice versa. Some probably believed Derrick Rose deserved to be in that conversation as well. But recently, Durant has become a viable answer to the question 'who is the best player in the league?'
With a Heat vs. Thunder Finals matchup slated to begin on Tuesday night in Oklahoma City, we wonder who is the better player to have. It's Kevin Durant. It's not just his play on the court that makes him such a top flight player, but it is how he conducts himself as a teammate off the court, as well.
James has all these endorsements and is a pop culture figure along with being this season's MVP. He's still a great player, one of the best all time, no doubt about it. He is a better player than Durant on the defensive end of the court, whereas Durant's defense isn't his strong suit. However, players who are not a public distraction tend to be less self-centered and more team-oriented.
A star player's job is to make those around him better and every player should know that. James might not. When he chose to take his talents to South Beach, he joined Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Wade was the star on Miami and Bosh with the Raptors. When Shaquille O'Neal left the Heat, Wade was the lone man to run that team. Bosh was always the go-to man north of the border.
James, Wade and Bosh came together to run the Heat believing they would lead the team to multiple championships together as a group. These are three all-stars who came together to form the most experienced trio in modern day basketball and the Thunder have done the same thing but in different fashion.
Oklahoma City (then the Seattle SuperSonics) drafted Durant and Russell Westbrook. The Thunder drafted James Harden in 2009. OKC's Big Three have worked together to become great, while James went from 'Witness' to 'Quitness' when he ditched his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for Miami. Durant is clearly the leader of that trio and has taught younger, inexperienced players how to contribute. Players like Serge Ibaka and even Harden have only been in the league for two full seasons.
James is the better player, but Durant isn't as self-centered. Durant wants to help people work with him to be great. When he was drafted and had a great first season, he didn't demand trades to play with better players. He waited. He was hoping to establish his own great team and that's what he has done. On the other hand, James couldn't wait. He was tired of losing in the playoffs and had to win a championship.
LeBron might be a better player because he has the skills on offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but Durant is more of a team player and tries to include everyone in the offense to make one great team of 15 guys instead of James, who, along with Wade and Bosh, tried to create a great team of three.
Selfish much? Edge goes to Durant.

EMILSON CRIBARI is loving life at Rangers so much he wants to extend his deal.
The Brazilian defender has endured a rocky start to his Ibrox career, but he helped Ally McCoist's men to a 7-0 Scottish Cup win over Alloa before limping off.
But the former Serie A stopper, who played for Lazio, Napoli and Udinese – reckons he made the right decision to snub a return to his homeland to sign for Ally McCoist's men. And he is already looking at life beyond the end of the season. Cribari said: "The idea here is to take it year by year, but I am certainly thinking about staying longer than two years.
"So far everything is going well, I'm playing all the games, we're first in the league and talking about moving up the divisions.
"We will see what will happen at the end of the season, but I am very happy here. Playing in this league with over 40,000 people watching you every week is very exciting and it's something I didn't expect.
"It's a totally different culture from Italy or Brazil. The crowds push us forward.
"You would think we are in the top division because of the crowds."
And there's one game Cribari would love to play in.
He said: "I think the Old Firm rivalry is the best in the world. As is normal in this situation, Celtic fans have been joking about Rangers, just as our fans would be if they were in our position.
"We have only a few players left from last season, but we know our responsibilities.
"We are a very united squad and we will get back to the top, starting by winning our league this season."

text: Hello, friends, More fun from the French Forum.... "what is the difference between begrudgingly and grudgingly?" My first thought is that begrudgingly is directed at something or someone specific, while grudgingly is more generic. However, I'm not sufficiently certain to say so in public to a trusting and friendly francophone.... Thoughts? Thanks!

BONFIELD, Ill. — — Kim Snyder built her farm in this small community west of Kankakee on the principles of organic farming and local food. But bringing her livestock to slaughter in a way that helps her maintain her passion for those principles has always been difficult.
Now, the former American Express operations manager hopes to develop a mobile slaughterhouse that would travel the state and help farmers get their livestock slaughtered, while also bringing consumers closer to the food they eat.

962 F2d 14 Jackson v. Rowland
962 F.2d 14
Fernando A. JACKSON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
James ROWLAND, et al., Defendant-Appellee.
No. 90-16405.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted May 5, 1992.*
Decided May 8, 1992.
NOTICE: Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3 provides that dispositions other than opinions or orders designated for publication are not precedential and should not be cited except when relevant under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel.
Before HUG, DAVID R. THOMPSON and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.
Fernando Jackson, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging he was denied due process in a prison disciplinary hearing. The district court found that because Jackson's claims had been or could have been adjudicated in a prior action involving the same parties, his action was barred by the doctrine of res judicata. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
We review de novo the district court's determination that an action is barred by the doctrine of res judicata. Robi v. Five Platters Inc., 838 F.2d 318, 321 (9th Cir.1988).
The doctrine of res judicata encompasses the doctrines of issue preclusion and claim preclusion. Id. "Claim preclusion treats a judgment, once rendered, as the full measure of relief to be accorded between the same parties on the same claim or cause of action." Id. (quotation omitted). Claim preclusion bars relitigation of all claims that were previously available to the parties, whether or not the claims were actually asserted and adjudicated in the prior action. Id. at 322.
Here, Jackson claims that he was defamed and deprived of his civil rights because there was insufficient evidence to support the prison disciplinary board's ("board") finding that Jackson was guilty of trafficking narcotics within the prison. Specifically, Jackson claims that he was denied his due process and equal protection rights under the fourteenth amendment because the board failed to consider a trust office record that would have supported his claim of innocence. Jackson, however, previously filed an action against the same parties, based on the same set of facts, and raising claims identical to those in the present action. See Jackson v. Rowland, No. C-88-20145 (N.D.Cal. Aug. 29, 1988). In the prior action, the district court dismissed with prejudice Jackson's claims of due process violations. Because Jackson's present action involves the same parties and is based on the same cause of action as his prior action, he is barred from relitigating claims that were or could have been litigated in the prior action. See Robi, 838 F.2d at 322. Thus, the district court did not err by dismissing the present action under the doctrine of res judicata.

My first try with dry paper curled worse than an autumn leaf and I had so much salt solution on the back I just completely immersed it. Then I had the bright idea of soaking the paper for a few minutes in water and squeegeed the back and floated the paper. That worked quite well, but I am worried about having to sensitize dry paper. I am going to try to damped the back with a clean sponge or washrag to get some humidity back into the paper fibers. (RH in the darkroom is right around 50% and the temp is 68*) Has anyone had success with any of this? My respect for 19th century photographers is growing by the minute.

The two men convicted in the 2011 near-fatal beating of Giants baseball fan Bryan Stow at Dodgers stadium were indicted on federal gun possession charges this week.
Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez, both of Rialto, were charged with one count each of felon in possession of firearms/ammunition, which carries a maximum 10-year federal prison sentence upon conviction.
Norwood was taken into federal custody on Feb. 21, a day after he and Sanchez pleaded guilty in state court to the Stow assault, which left the victim brain damaged.
Sanchez, 32, was sentenced to eight years in state prison for one count of mayhem. Norwood, 33, was sentenced to four years in state prison for one count of assault.
Norwood received enough credit for time served to be released from custody after the sentencing, but he was re-arrested on the federal charges.
According to the indictment, Norwood and Sanchez were convicted of felony crimes in San Bernardino prior to the assault on Stow.
Sanchez was convicted of evading an officer in 2006 and a misdemeanor count of domestic violence three years before. Norwood, 30, was found guilty of felony spousal assault in 2006, according to the indictment.
The weapons and ammunition were recovered from the garage attic crawl space at Norwood's home, federal prosecutors said.
The defendants knowingly possessed a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle, a Marlin semiautomatic rifle, a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, a Llama semiautomatic pistol, a Smith & Wesson revolver, and several rounds of ammunition, according to the indictment.
Norwood was ordered held without bond pending trial on the firearms charge. He faces a post-indictment arraignment on March 13, at which time further court dates will be scheduled. The next court date for Sanchez was not available.
A Santa Cruz paramedic, Giants fan and father of two, 45-year-old Stow was leaving the March 31, 2011, Opening Day game between the Dodgers and the Giants when he was knocked unconscious by Sanchez in the parking lot. Norwood prevented Stow's friends from helping him, according to witnesses. Stow was beaten to the point of disability and brain damage, and now requires round-the-clock care. Stow returned home last spring after two years in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, according to The Associated Press.

How long have you been having it?
It could be a cyst, concretion, chalazion or something else as many conditions can cause this. I would advise you see an ophthalmologist in person for an accurate diagnoosis. Thanks.
