RAMALLAH: The Palestine Liberation Organisation's top leadership opened the way to suspending its recognition of Israel Saturday, but stopped short of ordering the drastic measure immediately, reports AFP.
Withdrawing the PLO's 1988 recognition would threaten decades of Israeli relations with the moderate Palestinian leadership and raise doubts over security coordination between the two.
It would also be seen as a fatal blow to the two-state solution, already on life support following the White House's December recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December.
The PLO's Executive Committee released a statement after a three-hour meeting Saturday saying it would set up a committee to study the derecognition move. The organisation's top body was meeting for the first time since the Palestinian Central Council, another arm of the PLO, called for the step last month. The executive committee on Saturday urged the Palestinian Authority of president Mahmud Abbas to "immediately start preparing plans and projects for disengagement steps with the Israeli occupation government at the political, administrative, economic and security levels."
The Palestinian leadership has become increasingly frustrated with the American administration, particularly since President Donald Trump's controversial recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, in a break with decades of international consensus that the city's fate should be decided in peace talks.

August 2014
I took a look at my last bill and noticed my value pack increased by a dollar. Not much but still a surprise after receiving the same bill amount for the past 8 months to see it go up unexpectedly. Wondering if this is a billing mistake or one of those "price increase without notice" type thing, I called to see what was going on. After speaking with a nice rep who dug up that in July there was a $1 increase in my value plan, I decided to cancel it and go with a different plan but with near identical features at the same price before the increase. I know that Fido isn't the only company that does this where they increase the price without notice while releasing new plans at the same (or lower) pricing, but it is really aggravating to have to deal with.
Fido may want to consider this point: aggravating your customers will cause them to leave. Even though the stipulation of "price may change without notice" is there, the lack of notice also shows a lack of courtesy to the paying customer, especially since the change in plan boils down a branding change that's "exclusive to Fido" tacked on.*grump grump grump*
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Twitty,
We've sent a Bill Message to notify about this increase of the Value Pack add-on, this happened after May 2014. If you'd like to me revise your account to see if we have new options that might be more beneficial, do not hesitate to send me a private message!
August 2014
You actually would have been notified at least 30 days before the change in price took effect.
Notification is typically done via a special message written on your invoice. I know that many people do not notice or read those bill messages, but technically you were advised in writing in advance of the price increase.
Glad to read you found an option that works better for you though!

Webcam Sites and your safety
Porn and webcam sites has become widespread for today's online users,. A few decades ago, sexual content was censored so much that you could only find it in magazines at the backend shelves in stores.
Today the internet has made sure that porn is available at the click of a button.
Many webcam sites (like livejasmin) provide all sorts of entertainment imaginable to the avid fan. All these come at different subscription fees as well as a free platform where you can enjoy time with the models without having to log in to the site. However, with the ever-increasing amount of pornographic material on the internet, it is important that users learn to stay safe while on such sites.
There are many suspicious characters lurking in live webcam sites, hidden behind fictitious usernames. Such attackers can take your personal data , or your identity and cause you many sleepless nights holding your personal information for a payoff.
Here are some basic tips of staying safe when using webcam sites that every user should know;
Go with the renown sites
One of the biggest favors you can do yourself is not clicking on every link that comes your way in any porn site.
Some sites usually spam pages with plenty of pop up messages, ads, which can lead to strange places.
Sometimes during your free chat session you might find seems to be interesting links posted by other users.
These are to be ignored. There is no need to follow every link and discover later that your system picked up some malware, or you redirected to a phising site.
See what the reviews say
The best way to find out about any product on the internet is check customer reviews and see what people have to say.
Doing the same with your porn sites is a prudent move that will keep you out of trouble. Scroll through
a few reviews and see what people recommend and what websites have bad reviews.
Watch out for certain red flags
One way to prevent yourself from falling prey to identity thieves on the internet is watching out for websites with clunky operation and other such problems. Some of the websites providing such services to users are traps to lure them into giving up their information.
In such cases, the website most likely has a wonky user interface. There is no https connection, no terms and conditions sub page. Or other thing , like only few cam-girls working on the webcam site should also raise some suspicion as well as bad camera feeds, or seemingly loop videos instead of live feed.
These are cues that it is time to get out of the camsite.
Choose a user name that keeps you anonymous
Everyone has used a too-revealing username at one point or another, sexy webcams aside. Folks also don't really take time to fortify their online identities and use passwords that are easily breakable and usernames that can be tracked back to them relatively easy.
Don'tapply a username that connects to your real identity in any way
The first thing that users ought to be careful about when it comes to their anonymity online is their username. A shortened form of your name or your pet's name are two prime examples of bad ideas for a username. The idea is to combine alphabetic and numeric characters to come up with a unique username. You are better of going by your favorite super hero's name if you can't
come up with anything off the top of your head.
Secure password
Once you have a username that is totally disconnected to your real identity, you can now move on to forge a password that is just as strong or even stronger. A good password should include at least ten characters mixed in in random fashion between letters, numbers and special characters. It should be nothing as obvious as your birthday or any significant dates in your
life. This way, even sophisticated software will have a hard time breaching that wall.
Things that you say
You should never share your real identity (like your real name, age, and address, or personal contact info) to a new webcam girl, before you know her well.
Lastly,always use updated software on all your devices
Software updates always come with modifications, some we like and some we have to learn to live with. Either way, such updates always come with bug fixes and better security options, which keeps you safer on the internet. Ignoring new versions of your browsing software may be the reason you are victim to a phishing scam.
Pro tip : You can use secure payment method that never reveal your real identity.
Staying safe on the internet is no easy feat. Hackers and malicious users are always devising new ways to break through your defenses.
This includes tech advancements and of course outwitting unsuspecting users and leading them to traps. As you apply all these, remember never to share personal information online.

Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker: A Pictorial History
Improve listing
Presented by
Museum of the Americas
Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker: A Pictorial History opens at the Museum of the Americas March 15, 2014. The public is invited to the opening preview Saturday March 15th, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Doug Harman, former President of the Fort Worth Convention & Visitor's Bureau and noted speaker, will give an overview on the exhibit.
Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker figure large in the history of Texas. Quanah Parker (ca. 1845—Feb. 23, 1911) was recognized as the last of the Comanche chiefs. He was half Comanche, half Anglo, and the son of Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker. As a warrior he led the attack on Adobe Walls in the Panhandle against the buffalo hunters on June 27, 1874. With the buffalo exterminated and suffering heavy losses, he led his Quahada band to surrender to Col. MacKenzie at Fort Sill, Ok, in 1875. The U.S. government appointed Quanah principal chief of the entire Comanche nation once they had gathered on the reservation. In later years he became a wealthy rancher and remained influential in both worlds.
Cynthia Ann Parker (ca. 1817—1870) was a member of the Parker frontier family that settled in east Texas in the 1830's. She was captured in 1836 (at age nine) by the Comanche and assimilated into the tribe where she lived for 24 years. She became the wife of Peta Nocona and bore him three children. In 1860 she and her daughter Prairie Flower were captured in the battle of Pease River and returned to her white family. She was never allowed to return to her husband and adopted people and mourned until her death in 1870.
Quanah and Cynthia Ann Parker: A Pictorial History is a traveling exhibit sponsored by the Texas Lakes Trail, and the Texas Historical Commission. Doug Harman and Clara Ruddell helped assemble the exhibit. The exhibit will run from March 15 - July 31st, 2014. Museum of the Americas is located at 216 Fort Worth Hwy., Weatherford, TX. Hours are 10-5, Mon.-Fri. and 11-4, Sat.

Police issue safety tips for Mardi Gras
Tips issued by NOPD Crime Prevention Unit
The New Orleans Police Department issues tips to Mardi Gras revelers.
Before going to the parade:
• Secure your home by locking up and keeping a light on. Get a timer or two and connect it to a lamp, television set or radio to make it appear as if someone is moving around in the home turning lights and electronics on and off.
• Notify a responsible neighbor to monitor your house while you are away.
• Prepare children for the parade by making them use the restroom.
• Put your name, address and phone number on a piece of paper and put it in your child's sock.
• Teach your child how to identify the police if lost.
• Do not block a resident's driveway.
• Do not double park.
• Do not park on the neutral ground.
• Do not block an intersection.
• Pay attention to signage on the parade route.
Attending the parade
• Do not jump over the police barricades. Ask an officer for permission to cross from one side of the street to the other. The barricades are there for protection.
• Do not bring a big purse to the parade. Put your personal items in your front pockets. Men should carry their wallets in their front pockets.
• Stand a distance from the floats.
• Do not run alongside the floats.
• Do not follow the bands.
• Do not throw beads at the riders on the float.
• Do not put someone on your shoulders if you or that person is intoxicated. Stay away from the street or curb.
• Ladders should be as far back from the curb as they are tall. Secure the ladder to the ground. Do not place ladders in the intersection.
Lost children
• If you get separated from your child, notify the police immediately. There will be several "lost children sites" on the parade route. Find a police officer and provide the child's name and a good physical description.
Medical problems
• You should carry with you any pertinent medical information regarding your health. This will help the paramedics analyze your medical condition should you get sick on the parade route.
French Quarter rules
• Do not urinate in public.
• Do not flash your breast in public.
• Do not drop your pants in public.
• Do not drink from an open glass or metal container in public.

release date:
May 01, 1974
Monkey Grip
For his 1974 solo debut, Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman amassed a band full of heavy friends, among them Leon Russell, Lowell George, Dr John and Danny Kootch.
But the real star was Bill Wyman himself, with his songwriting talents unleashed for the first time to prove that there were more than two great composers in the Rolling Stones' line-up. Single mixes and studio leftovers ensure that this is the definitive version of this album.
Recorded while he was still very much a member of the Rolling Stones, Monkey Grip was bassist Bill Wyman's first solo album. Released in May 1974, it was recorded with a star-studded session band that included names like Lowell George, Dr John, Leon Russell, Danny Kortchmar, and Dallas Taylor. This special expanded edition comes with eight bonus tracks, including a quartet of rare single edits, previously unavailable on CD.
Released (UK): October 30, 2006 (Castle Records CMRCD1362)
Released (US): November 21, 2006 (Castle Records CMRCD1362)

Giant robot insects! Translucent dialog bubbles! Hot Robot/human passion! Human zombie SLAVES!!!
|Transformers: Generation One vol. 3 > Issue #8
|Previous Issue
|Next Issue
Writer: James "Brad Mick" McDonough, Adam Patyk
Pencils: Don Figueroa
Inks: Elaine To
Colors: Espen Grundetjern
Letters: Ben Lee
- Characters (in order of appearance): Dorry & Cruz, Marissa Faireborn, Jazz, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Bombshell, Shockwave, Bumper, Kickback, Shrapnel, Grimlock, Bumblebee, Spike Witwicky
- Original release date: September 29, 2004
- Chronology: Ascension
Surrounded by squishy clones of the Insecticons, Jazz and the humans from the EDC struggle to avoid being overwhelmed. Jazz orders a formation for the soldiers to work their way out, but the shape is compromised when Dorry and Cruz are abducted. With no options left, Jazz picks up Marissa and the two ram their way out of trouble in Jazz's car mode.
Beneath the theater, Sideswipe and a verbally minimalist Sunstreaker stumble through caverns to find a large spooky cache of strange glowing green eggs.
Deeper, it's revealed that the events of the town are the manipulations of Bombshell, under the command of the all-plotting Shockwave, who has survived his fall into a pit on Cybertron. While toying with the deactivated body of Bumper, Bombshell hangs up on Shockwave's nagging and greets the freshly hatched Kickback and Shrapnel.
In Cleveland, Spike is disappointed to see his best friend, Bumblebee, down his driveway. Bumblebee, with nowhere else to go, admits to Spike that he's decided to quit the Autobots.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe investigate the green eggs they've found. The Insecticons get the drop on the two, who are exposed to bright lights—which mixes with their night-vision and forces the two to be stuck fighting blind. Sunstreaker doesn't have as much difficulty with the light, but Shrapnel deactivates the two with a heavy burst of electricity.
Jazz and Marissa continue to speed away from the horde that attacked them, and they take cover inside of a parking garage. Inside, the two find several mutilated copy bodies, and realizing how bizarre the situation is, they come clean to each other. Jazz reveals that the Dinobots arrived on Earth millions of years prior to the awakening of the Autobots and Decepticons on the Ark to fight the Insecticons—assumed to have been left for dead. Before more details can be exchanged, the couple is forced to continue their retreat. Finding a cache of glowing green eggs, Jazz chooses to ask questions later and uses his flamethrower to burn all the eggs he can.
Held in bondage, a captive Sunstreaker and Sideswipe overhear Kickback reminding Shrapnel that it was Shrapnel, not Bombshell, who used to lead the Insecticons. The Insecticons leave to locate Jazz, who escaped from captivity. Ironically, as soon as the Decepticons leave, Bumper arrives to free his comrades.
Jazz comes under fire from the Insecticons and insists that Marissa escape. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker arrive to assist Jazz, and all the combat ruins the Insecticons' long-laid machinations. Shrapnel, in rage, blasts a hole from the cavern direct to the surface.
In another part of town, Bumper finds the two missing soldiers who were last seen inside of the theater before the ambush last issue. The soldiers direct Bumper to where they saw Bombshell headed, and after the soldiers mention that Bombshell might have acquired a taste for humans—Bumper looks at the humans with hungry eyes.
The rest of the Autobots continue their firefight against the Insecticon forces. Sunstreaker takes out Kickback with a well-placed pair of rockets. Sideswipe takes out Shrapnel with a well placed falling building. With only an army of drones left, the Autobots get ready to make a final stand, but the army of drones is replaced—by an army of Human Zombie Slaves!
From above, Bombshell commands the movements of his obedient fleshy underlings. Yet it's Bumper who saves the day by sneaking up on Bombshell and placing a Cerebro-shell on the back of Bombshell's neck, causing a strange feedback loop that locks Bombshell into stasis. With all three Insecticons disabled, and nobody left controlling the drones or humans zombie slaves, the day is saved.
"Why Jazz... if we weren't living a horror movie, I'd blush!"

Items of note
- What's up with a couple of Marissa's captions being translucent? I don't know!
- The narrative captions call it a theater, but the sign on the outside of the building in the previous issue calls it a theater.
- The Dinobots battling Shockwave (or in this case, his underlings) on Earth millions of years prior to the rest of the Autobots awakening on the Ark is a somewhat similar explanation to the Dinobots' origin in the original Marvel Comics and the later-written Spotlight: Shockwave. However, this still doesn't explain how Megatron captured all the Dinobots except Grimlock.
- The army of Human Zombie Slaves apparently includes Michael Jordan, Waldo, and perhaps a suspiciously toned Asian.
- Dorry and Cruz are totally dead.

Neural fold closure defect (NTD) is one of the most common birth defects in humans, occurring at an average rate of 1 per 1000 pregnancies. Decreased maternal Mg2+ intake has been associated with an increased risk for NTD, suggesting a key role for Mg2+-permeant ion channels in this essential stage of development. Our research in Xenopus laevis has uncovered important roles for the TRPM6 and TRPM7 ion channels in gastrulation and neural fold closure during embryogenesis. Neural fold closure defects caused by depletion of TRPM7 from Xenopus laevis embryos can be prevented by Mg2+ supplementation or by expression of a Mg2+ transporter, supporting the hypothesis that Mg2+ and the ion channels that conduct this important cation play a critical role during this essential embryonic process. TRPM7 and TRPM6 are known to hetero-oligomerize when heterologously expressed in tissue culture cells, but reports vary as to whether TRPM6 functions by itself as a channel in vivo. Preliminary studies indicate that TRPM6 mRNA expression is upregulated during gastrulation and peaks during neurulation, supporting the hypothesis that the two channels are functioning together to regulate neural fold closure. We propose three specific aims to clarify the function and regulation of these two channels during early development. In the first specific aim, we will employ loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments in Xenopus laevis to define the role of TRPM6 during development and its connection to the non-canonical Wnt pathway, which has been shown to regulate convergent extension movements during gastrulation and neural fold closure.
In specific aim 2 we will examine in Xenopus how TRPM6 and TRPM7 and its individual domains may be functioning together to regulate neural fold closure and how these channels may be impacting Mg2+ homeostasis in the developing embryo. Our research will also focus on how TRPM7's control of Mg2+ homeostasis is affecting the migratory behavior of cells.
In specific aim 3 we will investigate the role of 80K-H, a TRPM6- and TRPM7-interacting protein that functions synergistically with TRPM7 during gastrulation and neural fold closure, has in regulating these channels'protein levels, and determine how the Wnt pathway may be impacting this regulation. Collectively, the proposed experiments should greatly advance our understanding how these unique bifunctional channels are functioning in vivo, which could lead to new strategies for preventing neural tube closure defects as well as to new insights for combating the other pathological conditions for which these channels have been associated, including stroke and cancer.
Neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, occur when the neural tube fails to close during embryogenesis and are the second most common birth defect;spina bifida alone affects 166,000 people in the United States with medical costs estimated to be over $70,000 annually for the first 20 years of life. Our research has shown that incubating developing embryos with excess magnesium prevents neural tube defects caused by loss of the TRPM7 ion channel, pointing to critical roles for magnesium and TRPM7 during early development. The proposed research will investigate the functions and regulations of the ion channels TRPM7 and TRPM6 as well as the role of magnesium during embryogenesis, which could help in the development of novel preventive strategies for these devastating birth defects.

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced a slate of judicial nominees to the floor for a vote, including Jonathan Kobes to be a US Circuit Judge for the Eighth Circuit, despite the fact that he was rated "not qualified" to serve on the circuit court by the American Bar Association.
The nomination was approved by the committee by an 11-10 vote.

Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii criticized the move, saying after the vote that the White House had "nominated someone profoundly unfit to serve for a lifetime on the circuit court, but who will nonetheless be confirmed basically on a party line vote."
Controversy over the nomination marks the latest partisan clash over President Donald Trump's judicial picks. It comes less than a week after Senate Republicans successfully confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to be the newest Supreme Court Justice over Democratic opposition and after he vehemently denied sexual assault allegations leveled against him by Christine Blasey Ford. Kavanaugh was confirmed with 50 "yes" votes -- the fewest for any Supreme Court justice in the modern era.
In his opening remarks, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, defended Kobes, who works as a general counsel for Republican Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota and saying that the panel had "received numerous letters of support" in favor of his confirmation from the state's "legal community, including South Dakota's attorney general."
Grassley accused the ABA of "politicizing" the nomination and criticized its methodology.
Natalie Krings, a spokesperson for Rounds, also defended Kobes in a statement, saying that his "qualifications to be a circuit judge speak for themselves."
"The ABA's use of limited criteria when assessing nominees is well known," Krings said. "Jon's qualifications to be a circuit judge speak for themselves. As a practicing attorney for nearly two decades, Jon has amassed an impressive resume that includes service in all three branches of the federal government, as a litigator on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in court and in both criminal and civil cases."
She added, "There are few with as wide a range of experience and as academically qualified as Jon. He demonstrated as such during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee."
In September, the chair of the ABA's standing committee on the federal judiciary wrote in a letter to Grassley and the panel's top Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein that the committee had rated Kobes "not qualified" to serve on the appeals court for the Eighth Circuit. The letter came after Trump announced the nomination in June.
"The committee believes that Mr. Kobes has neither the requisite experience nor evidence of his ability to fulfill the scholarly writing required of a United States Circuit Court Judge," the letter said.
It went on to say, "The Standing Committee had difficulty analyzing Mr. Kobes' professional competence because he was unable to provide sufficient writing samples of the caliber required to satisfy Committee members that he was capable of doing the work of a United States Circuit Court judge."
In arguing in support of the nominee during Thursday's hearing, Grassley pointed out that the ABA said in its letter that it did not have "any question about Mr. Kobes' integrity or temperament," issues that loomed large in the end for Kavanaugh.
The letter also stated that Kobes is "a very accomplished, competent and capable person," but said that "his career path has not resulted in sufficient evidence of a developed ability to do the written work of a United States Circuit Court Judge."
The judiciary committee also moved on Thursday to hold over the nomination of another judicial nominee -- John O'Connor -- who was rated as "not qualified" by the ABA.
According to a letter from the ABA to the Judiciary Committee, a review of O'Connor, who has been nominated to be United States District Judge for the Northern, Eastern and Western Districts of Oklahoma, "revealed several instances of ethical concerns, including candor with the court, evidence of overbilling of clients ... and improper contact with adverse parties in litigation."
O'Connor did not immediately return CNN's request for comment.
In August, however, Republican Sens. Jim Inhofe and James Lankford, both of Oklahoma, criticized the ABA's rating of O'Connor.
"In his 37 years of practice, John O'Connor has been known by all to be an attorney of the highest competence, honesty and integrity. He has received the highest possible ethical and legal rating from his peers during his decades of practice, and has been recognized for his continued service to community and civic organizations," Inhofe said at the time.

The Seamstress of Verona
Cameron had the following prompts to choose from:
Amy- A red Harley Davidson and a time machine
Erika- I can't find my favorite pink blouse
Wendy- Unicorns, Mermaids, and Faeries, Oh MY!
Jen- Why do birds suddenly appear
…. And with Erika's prompt, she wrote some "fractured Shakespeare" …
16 July, 2013
Dear Diary,
I cannot find my favorite pink blouse. It is not simply a blouse, however; it is a lifeline. Let me take you back some several hundred years to its beginnings with us.
Romeo and I never, across these four centuries or more, learned from whence the pink silk received its magic. Draped as it was outside the tomb, my Romeo and I questioned not its existence; rather, we simply assumed advantage from it.
You see, on our escape from the tomb that late-July night, we possessed no dressing gowns or proper clothing to cover our frames. The embalming fabrics had proved worthless in both form and function; impractical in every possible sense. Romeo had graciously helped unwind the dressings from my slight frame just as readily as I offered assistance to him.
As sunrise approached and the time for our great escape drew necessary, we pushed aside the stones that covered the opening to the tomb and happened upon a lovely surprise: Drawn up in a massive heart-shaped bunting outside the tomb were more than a dozen yards of rose-colored silk.
Romeo, ever the gentlemen, wrapped me carefully in nearly all of the silk, tying the bodice tightly but leaving the skirt loose enough for me to run and climb. He spared only enough of the pink silk to fashion a modest codpiece for himself.
And away we ran. Through the catacombs, up to the surface of the burial grounds, and past the grave markers of simpler folks, we sought our freedom. Over the rolling hills and through olive groves we made our way to the remote village outside Verona that would be our eternal home. There, with little more than the silk that covered us and the love that sustained us, Romeo and I began our lives.
We had planned this part of the journey: We would live out our days in relative anonymity and poverty but would remain wealthy in our love. The poet, William Shakespeare, you see, did not know that the young lovers he created had ideas of their own. Suicide, we knew, was no admirable behavior. Defying the literary tragedy the poet wrote for us, we instead pooled our intellectual resources and chose destiny over fate. [Ask any writer of fiction and she will tell you of the autonomous ways of fictional characters-in-the-making.]
But I digress. The Bard of Avon created a tragedy filled with romance, rebellion, drama and a few healthy sprinklings of comic relief. Romeo and I, with the aid of the magic silk, created eternity. That eternity was unplanned.
In the early decades of our forever-on-Earth we suspected the silk's power, noticing that only when wearing the silk did our health and stamina thrive. Without the silk, we developed weaknesses and ailments only cured by replacing the silk. Therefore, when our baby girl was born the April after our escape, I developed my talent as seamstress. Over these many years I have crafted, assembled, disassembled and remade the silk into hundreds of patterns to adorn not only myself and Romeo, but our beautiful daughter, Romiet. As she grew, I kept her safe with a piece of silk close to her body, only removing it to allow her to grow in body and mind from time to time.
After all these centuries, however, we now find ourselves at a stopping point. Romiet is 14, as, oddly, am I still. We are a family made up of three teenagers, two of whom are parents wielding no influence over the third. Can one imagine any dynamic more destructive – even in the presence of the magic silk? Nevertheless, this is where we find ourselves on this late-July night in 2013.
Romiet has stolen the blouse.
As family dramas go, and as dramatic tragedies are written, daughters rebel against their mothers.
Romeit has stolen the blouse. She has stolen it to protect her own eternity.
My loving Romeo and I must now rest, at last. We have bathed in our 420-year romance and now it is time to succumb to Shakespeare, who wins the tragic ending to his tale.
If there is justice to be found in this tragedy, it lies in this truth: The beautiful young Romiet – who never bothered to learn my seamstress trade – must now live out her remaining centuries in a vintage pink blouse with poufy sleeves and a hideous, ornate collar – circa-1593 meets circa-1984.
– Juliet
This post was written by Cameron, who has not been writing enough fiction this past year for her own liking, but is grateful still to be counted among the BBB Gals and who, oddly, has referenced Shakespeare in two of her three bbbgals posts.
Posted on July 16, 2013, in Comments ala Cameron, Written By The BBB's and tagged 1980s, comedy, Fractured Shakespeare, Romantic, Romeo and Juliet, Romiet, the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare. Bookmark the permalink. 3 Comments.
Enjoyed your story Cameron, had the wit and humor that I always look for in your pieces and I liked how you rewrote the Romeo and Juliet story. Think this could even be a good book if you ever decided to make it into a longer piece, would be interesting to see how their lives played out over those 420 years.
Very cute! You must write more often.

Most Common Interview Questions and How to Reply
An interview is sure to yield at least one or two unusual or expected questions. However, certain questions are standard in virtually all interviews. Knowing these core questions, and preparing effective responses, can make the difference in getting the job you want.
Why Hire You
Often, the single underlying question an interviewer has is "Why should we I hire you?" In fact, all questions ultimately connect back to this question in some way. Still, some version of this question is typically included near the beginning of an interview. The hiring manager is looking for the candidate whose skills, interests and work philosophies best align with the job and the company. An effective answer might be, "Your business emphasizes customer service as its top priority. As a customer service manager, I have a proven record of developing and motivating top service employees. Our in-house surveys show a customer satisfaction rate of 90 percent vs. less than 60 percent before I took over."
Strengths and Weaknesses
Job candidates typically expect and often dread versions of questions such as "What are your strengths?" and "What are your weaknesses?" On the strengths question, the interviewer is looking for skills that match with the job responsibilities. On weaknesses, he is usually looking for red flags where you can't adequately fulfill a job duty. Before the interview, research and prepare three of your strengths and provide examples of how they align with the job. For each one, you might say something like, "I am well-organized, as evidenced by strong ratings from previous employers on work productivity and efficiency." For the weakness question, identify an honest challenge that doesn't tie to the job. You might say, "I sometimes bring stress on myself because of perfectionist tendencies, but I've learned to focus on being adaptable and flexible to alternatives."
Hiring managers also want to understand your motives to see if you have long-term potential and are a good match for the company. Questions might include "Why do you want to work here?" and "Why are you looking for a new job?" You should convey genuine interest in the company and the job when asked these types of questions. For example, you might say "Your company has a reputation for innovative mobile technology, and I am passionate about designing cutting-edge technology solutions." Provide positive answers when addressing the issue of why you are looking for a new job. For example, you might say, "I am interested in pursuing new challenges that can lead to greater responsibility and career advancement." Avoid saying anything negative about your current employer.
A number of interview questions are used to delve into the breadth and depth of your experience. Ultimately, the intent is to see if you can do the work. Questions might include, "Describe your experience in this industry?" or "What were your primary duties in your previous job?" By researching the job, you can come prepared to outline how your work experience matches with the position. For a management position, for instance, you might describe leadership abilities by saying, "In my current role as assistant manager, I lead our five-person evening staff. Our store has produced the highest sales volume in our region for three straight months."

Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
Just bought a Rubicon. Has about 200 miles. This noise started today when I hit highway speeds. Hard to tell from video, but it sounds more like an electronic noise than it does from wind. Almost sounds like it comes from the speaker. I powered the stereo off and it still does it. Wondered if anyone has experienced this. Needless to say, I will be going to the dealer when they open so hopefully its a quick fix.
Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
I did hear a whistling sound somewhat like this with my 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon (with the 2.0L turbo) when I took it on the highway at around 160 miles for engine break-in. I heard the noise for no more than a minute while driving at around 80MPH. I have hardly driven on the highway (even with 700 miles already) so I can't say if I would hear it again. I have not seen anything wrong with the windshield seal.
I forgot to post an update. Yes it was related to the windshield seal. It was seated improperly at the factory, raised off frame 1/4 inch on driver side. Issue resolved, somebody should've caught that, but oh well

When it comes to logo design and logo shapes, circles have been the most widely used shapes. When you think about it, circles are the most familiar shapes to a human, they're practically everywhere!
The shapes of graphic symbols vary a lot, but one of the most commonly used in logo design is the circle.
Many marketing experts and logo designers have been tapping into the familiarity with the circle shape for a long, long time.
It's amazing how many well-known; well-established companies have chosen to go with a circular logo. Is it ultimate in simplicity or does the circle make it more memorable, more of a poignant visual pointer in the consumer's mind?
In fact, there's a fair amount of symbolism and meaning associated with the circular shape. Circles have a positive meaning and suggest friendship, love, unity, stability and endurance. A circle itself is unending, which is why it can also signify infinity or wholeness. Think about rings, such as wedding rings they have an implication of marriage and partnership, suggesting stability and endurance!
It's no surprise many large companies have their logos designed in the rounded form of a circle. Here are some of our favourite logo designs, designed in a circle. All of them are quite simple, memorable, everlasting, impressive, and stylish!
Are there other famous circle logo designs that come to mind?

Bartlett's father, Dewey F. Bartlett, was Oklahoma's second Republican governor from 1967 to 1971, and a United States Senator from 1973 to 1979. The younger Bartlett attended Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, then received a B.S. in accounting from Regis University and an M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University. He is the President of the Keener Oil & Gas Company, the successor to a family business previously run by his father, and the chairman of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board and the National Stripper Well Association.
Bartlett served on the Tulsa City Council from 1990 to 1994, and ran unsuccessfully for mayor in a 1992 special election. He was also a member of the board of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. In 2004 he ran against former state health secretary Tom Adelson for Oklahoma Senate district 33, losing by less than 1,000 votes. In 2009 he ran for mayor of Tulsa. On September 8, 2009, Bartlett won 54% of the Republican primary vote, setting him up for another match against Adelson (who received 94% of the vote in the Democratic primary) and two independents in the November general election. In the November 10 general election, Bartlett received about 45% of the vote, to 36% for Adelson and 18% for independent Mark Perkins. Bartlett took office on December 7, 2009.
In May 2011, the Tulsa city auditor issued a report stating that Bartlett had violated two sections of the city's ethics rules by accepting free legal advice from a lawyer who had also represented the city. Bartlett and his lawyer have disputed this finding.

Greg, yes that is another good solution I forgot to mention. Good idea.
Anton, people have been shooting 24P and 25P for decades. If you're judging your footage on the camera's LCD or on a computer screen you are probably not getting a true picture of what the footage really looks like. Also, shutter speed is important.

I would never judge anything on a PC monitor
when I edit, the component out of Edius SP hardware is connected to 42" full HD Plasma
I think the real problem is that the DVD spec is interlaced, I noticed that newer players perform better, especially Blu-ray players because they upscale the DVD and somehow manage to hide the artifacts

Hi Kevin,
I've never had to deliver on Blu-ray. I thought I was going to have to once, so I bought Blu-ray burner in December 2008 and the box is still sitting on a shelf with the shrink wrap intact. By the time I ever use it, it will probably be as outdated as a floppy disc drive.
However, getting back to the intent of your question, when I have to deliver on other HD formats, I edit with an XDCAM HD 422 timeline that matches the majority of my raw footage. I would then downconvert the final edited video if a DVD version was also needed. That workflow also gets great results, but I still feel there's no reason to edit in HD if I'll never need any HD output. There are many advantages to editing on an SD time line if that's the only output I'll ever need.
Once again, ProRes would not be needed at all in my workflow. I don't think there's any benefit to using ProRes for people who are already working with XDCAM. ProRes is a great option for the "other guys", but I don't have any use for it.

I really dont want to open the "p vs i" shooting discussion again, but here its part of the question.
My experience: If you shoot progressive (25p, 30p) , downconversion in NLEs is MUCH BETTER than shooting interlaced.
In both worlds, NLEs do a (deinterlacing if needed and) downscaling, of course.
Its a question of filtering "too high" detail frequencies to avoid aliasing and other artefacts - simply spoken: SD cant take as high frequencies as HD can.
Since most NLE Plugins do some simple downscaling, the results are different.
In case of deinterlacing, the process is even more complex. But there are software workflows that produce a good quality even with Interlaced footage.
What I found is that any hardware conversion (HD->SD, progressive or interlaced) is WAY better if done by hardware. I guess its a question of filtering high frequencies too.
I tried to copy my HD master back to camera (I used XDCAM F330, XDCAM 700 and HDV) and play the signal out in SD. IT´S FANTASTIC.
In case of F330 (aka 350, 355 etc.) you can benefit from 2 things:
a) use SD Detail to enhance your SD Signal to your taste
b) use Firewire AVC out (switch from FAM to AVC) to ingest the footage digitally. The SD Signal via Firewire is great (digital) quality with the same SD Detail enhancement
In case of PDW700 and others there is often no AVC stream out possible. In this case I ingest analog via component or composite outs.
Again, I found the hardware conversion to be the winner over most NLE conversions. Especially with interlaced material.
Have a try & compare!
Doug, I like your air show , but I am afraid this is not the problematic footage we are talking about.
Instead, have a try with slow pans or zooms over straight lined objects like brick-lined houses or walls, mega-detail city overviews etc. I assume these are the shots that get critical when converted to SD.
Regarding shooting P or I: Its right, dont jugde your P footage over an LCD screen or the viewfinder. If played correctly in the NLE or a BluRay /DVD Player the shutter impression is less.
For shooting: I dont like shooting (PAL...) 25p. I find it often too difficult to quick focus or follow a person.
To my opinion (an broadcast opinion in general) 1080i is a good compromise as long as you have a way to downconvert to SD (DVD etc.) in a high quality. I dont agree that 50i (60i) is an old fashioned method. Its a compromise for motion as long as we dont have 1080 50p.
I recently shot a comedian piano concert in 25p and my customer complained: "Whats wrong with the motion when the comedians jump an and run around?". And my 2nd cameramen complained: "it was so hard to be in focus". That was a test for me. And the reason why I will shoot most of my footage interlaced again (had an ice show yesterday - fantastic!).

Downconverting progressive material is the least problematic because you can simply divide the vertical and horizontal pixels by a near symmetrical amount to get the smaller frame size you want. Interlace is much harder as first you must separate out the fields and then you have to divide each field by an asymmetric amount. In the case of NTSC you have to drop every other line, plus an additional line every 4 lines, for PAL you drop every other line for 3 lines then keep a line. This un even number of dropped lines can lead to stair stepping and artefacts. The problem is even worse if you convert to DV as the DV field order is reversed and many NLE's will make a complete hash of this.
The next problem is the need to include some form of low pass filtering in the down conversion process to reduce the high frequency components in the HD image. Just as a decent video camera will have an optical low pass filter to eliminate aliasing, we need to do the same with any video downconversion. I posted some examples of this on my web site.

One cure is to add a 3 pixel blur to the HD image before you down convert it. The difference in the final down converted image can be quite striking.

I DVR'd it, so I'm a little behind.
First of all…does anyone actually believe that Fred Thompson is going to run? I just don't see it happening.
Romney won't address anything in Brownback's ad, just gives examples that contradict it. It sounds like he may be personally in pro-choice, but governs as pro-life. "I changed my position." In most people's eyes, that makes you a waffler Mitt, sorry.
Giuliani supports the 2nd amendment. "Supporting the 2nd amendment" doesn't mean that you support private gun ownership. It means you support your interpretation of the 2nd amendment. Big difference.
Ron Paul gets the first shot at Iraq saying that the war is illegal…that's quite a shot. He uses it as an opportunity to attack foreign policy. But Hunter gives a hawkish response. You know, I think you have to give it to the Democrats on the fact that they concentrate on what needs to be done here, not in other countries. Their methods may not be the most sane, but at least their intentions are good (I think).
Huckabee wants to reduce our dependency on foreign oil as a solution. I am completely behind that idea, but it's not going to solve itself overnight. Brownback wants to basically take over Iraq and tell them how to divide themselves up. It actually sounds like what Vic Mackey does with Spook Street and the One Niners on The Shield.
McCain wants to stay the course of George Bush in Iraq–politically suicide, at least in my estimation.
George Stephanopoulos wants to know if there are any differences between McCain and Guiliani. Of course there is. Guiliani is okay with
torture "any means necessary".
Romney concurs with the other leaders. That's a safe bet. His attack on Obama is pretty funny though.
Tancredo finally gets his chance to chime in. You know my opinion of this guy–he's better off showing up to the debate and keeping his mouth shut. Every time he talks he looks more and more like George Bush III. He's attacking the rules of engagement. I guess he's long-tailing his talking points now?
Tommy Thompson, I have a word of advice. The next time you want to give a prepared speech in what is supposed to be a live debate, spend a little more time practicing your delivery. Stephen Hawking could have delivered that speech with more emotion and believability.
Winding up this segment with Ron Paul. He attacks the neo-cons and…
Wait a minute…McCain admits that the war was mismanaged for a long time. Yet he's totally in favor of sticking with the guy who mismanaged it.

Flags around the USA are still hanging at half-mast today because of last week's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our hearts are truly heavy as the funerals of 20 young children have begun.
And yet, in coming weeks the children and families directly affected by this massacre, as well as individuals far-removed from Newtown, Conn., will have a choice to make in our response. Simply put, we can choose: bitter, or better?
I was so encouraged by dad Robbie Parker's statement in choosing to let the world know he feels such compassion for the gunman's family. He set the tone of forgiveness and hope, and I pray the world will follow. NBC News correspondent Ann Curry has already launched a social media campaign motivating simple acts of compassion inspired by the children from Sandy Hook who lost their lives. Using the hashtags #20Acts and #26Acts, thousands of people have taken to Twitter to share their random acts of kindness. This is a good thing.
And yet my hope and prayer is that this type of generous spirit is not short-lived. The children, staff and administrators who survived last Friday's harrowing attack have ample reason to become angry and resentful. But I hope they will do the tough work of healing. And that is exactly what it is: hard work. Finding and getting into good counseling, opening up about their emotions, and learning healthy ways to cope are all part of dealing with tragic circumstances. This is not easy, and it takes time to process — months and months, if not years.
I often say that a good counselor is like a relational tow-truck who can help us get out of our emotional ruts. If we never make the call, though, we'll be stuck spinning our wheels.
By the same token, we can't just preach forgiveness if we don't put it into practice. And for tragedies of this magnitude, I really don't believe that's possible apart from divine power. I can't say enough about the book, "Total Forgiveness" by R.T. Kendall. The first chapter alone, describing what forgiveness IS and is NOT is worth thousands of dollars in therapy sessions, whether you're dealing with a minor dispute with your spouse or coping with something far more severe such as abuse or abandonment.
So for today, the choice is ours. Bitter or better. Which is it going to be?

Harrison Ford's first day back as Han Solo after 32 years was not the "Chewie, we're home" scene, but that's how it felt for those who watched it that day on the set of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
It took place on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios outside London, where lots of massive movies have been made, including most of the 007 titles and some of the later Harry Potter films. Crews here are old hands, and not the kind to get starstruck.
That's why Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy was caught off guard by their reaction. "The minute Harrison and Chewie walked on board the Millennium Falcon — that was incredible," she tells EW. "Every single person on the set was stunned. I remember turning around, and there must have been 200 people gathered behind me — completely quiet. I didn't even know they were there. The whole crew had stopped working, staring at the monitor, because it was so iconic."
Lawrence Kasdan, who worked on the original trilogy and wrote The Force Awakens with director J.J. Abrams also took note of that hush. "It was sort of surreal for everybody, and it wasn't just Han, it wasn't just Harrison. It was seeing all this stuff," he says. "The Millennium Falcon has been a big part of my life, from Empire to Jedi to Force Awakens — and now I've written a movie about the young Han. So the Falcon has enormous resonance for me. And I don't know if you can imagine what it would be like to watch things being shot on that set with those people."
He laughs, trying to find the right words, and settles on: "It's pretty cool!"
Over the years, Ford has grumbled about the space smuggler, saying he thought the character was "dumb as a stump" and even wished Solo had died at the end of the original saga — the selfish, sarcastic anti-hero who sacrifices himself for the greater good.
But on his first day back, the 72-year-old actor, who long ago told The Today Show he was "glad to see that costume for the last time," appeared a bit overcome himself to be back in it.
"Harrison was going through his own experience, finding that place for himself again, to return to something that had been so much a part of his identity and acting career," Kennedy says. "It was his own little personal journey, but once he got there, it was amazing. I mean, he was Han Solo again. That's why everybody else got so quiet! They were like, 'Oh my God, he's back!'"
And then, later, they dropped a door on him.
NEXT PAGE: The accident's aftermath …
The accident happened mid-way through production when a large segment of the Millennium Falcon came loose and landed on the actor, breaking his leg. Abrams recently told The Daily Show he strained so hard trying to lift the door off Ford that he ended up rupturing a vertebrae and had to wear a back brace. The film's release was never pushed back, but principal photography was put on hold and the wrap-date was shifted to the fall so Ford could recuperate.
"It was obviously a horrible experience that I wish had never happened for obvious reasons," Abrams says now. "But the truth is, once we knew that Harrison was going to be okay, we all realized this was this greatest gift to the movie, and I would think that any filmmaker would say, 'If I could get a break after a month of shooting, for a few weeks, to recalibrate, I would take it.'"
It gave Abrams and Kasdan time to rewrite some upcoming scenes, and reshoot some footage that they weren't happy with, while giving the other actors bonus time to rehearse with one another.
At first, Abrams expected to have to rewrite the rest of the script so that Han Solo spent a lot more time sitting down.
"It wasn't something that we knew for a little while. When it became clear that he was going to be just fine, we realized we didn't need to change that at all," Abrams says. "In fact, there are some places where he's more active than he was prior to the accident. As you'll see in the movie, he is running and doing more physical activity in this movie than I think anyone who knows he was injured would expect. Nothing was adjusted or lessened because of that accident. Even for Harrison, who is famously resilient and strong, he blew everyone's minds."
They witnessed another astounding recovery months later, in March, when Ford survived the crash-landing of a refurbished World War II training plane and recovered in time to wave a plastic lightsaber at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
"He apparently is an actual superhero," Kasdan says.
Another cast member who was working through injury was Ford's Falcon co-pilot, Peter Mayhew, the 7-foot-3 actor who plays Chewbacca. Like many people of such large size, Mayhew, who's 71, has had joint problems and underwent double knee replacement surgery in 2013. He walks with the aid of a cane — shaped like a lightsaber — but fast movements are difficult for him.
As a result, another actor had to fill the fur suit for some action sequences, but Mayhew was Abrams and Kennedy's preference whenever possible. Even though it wasn't Mayhew in the Wookiee suit for Ford's first day, there was another emotional moment the first time the two men saw each other.
"We had a dinner and the whole cast was reunited just before we started shooting," Kennedy says. "I had no idea how close Peter and Harrison were. And when Harrison came into the room and Peter was sitting down, he just went over and gave him the biggest hug, and you could just see that there had been this incredible relationship between these two."
NEXT PAGE: Making peace with Solo…
The thing that really surprised everyone was that the on-set accident that broke Ford's leg didn't sour that renewed goodwill he had for Star Wars.
"It's a strange kind of thing," Kasdan says. "But there was this moment of pause, and when Harrison came back, he lit up the whole place. And he was so funny and warm and helpful to the young people, and generous with his old costars… I don't know. It was kind of miraculous."
Ford and other original trilogy stars Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill were recruited back to the franchise before Lucasfilm was even purchased by The Walt Disney Co., which announced the new slate of films. And Kennedy says he wasn't difficult to persuade. Certainly, whatever compensation package he'll be getting this time around dwarfs whatever he made as a relatively unknown carpenter-turned-actor on the first Star Wars films, but that doesn't account for the emotional shift on Han Solo.
Maybe it was working with Abrams, who first collaborated with the actor on Mike Nichols' 1990 drama Regarding Henry, which Abrams wrote (and had a cameo in as a grocery delivery boy.) Maybe it was working with young actors like John Boyega, who brought Han Solo merchandise to the set for him to sign.
"I think what really got him excited was when he read the first draft, and he saw where we were going and what we were doing. He was immediately on board, and then he sat down and had a great conversation with J.J. and went through, in detail, what we were thinking about doing," says Kennedy. "And then, you know, Harrison — and I've always found this over the years with the Indiana Jones films we've all done together — he's incredibly collaborative when it comes to story and developing his character, and really engaged in the process. And he was every bit that on this film. "
The old stories of Ford haggling with Lucas over stilted dialogue ("George, you can type this sh-t, but you can't say it!"), or debating with The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner about how best to deliver the "I love you"/"I know" line don't exactly suggest an actor who couldn't care less about the character. It sounds like he cared a lot.
Somewhere along the line, maybe he lost that. But now, it seems, he's home.

Are you looking for a new way to exercise or get fit while enjoying the outdoors? Check out dragon boating, one of the fastest-growing water sports in the Central Florida area. Dragon boating is a team water sport where 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson race in a 40-foot canoelike vessel. A quick search online put me in touch with the organizers of the Orlando Dragon Boat Club, which practices on Lake Fairview. The club was founded in 2009 in partnership with the Orlando Rowing Club and Orlando Health Foundation.
To learn more, I attended an open practice for the club Tuesday. The group included a mix of people, including newcomers and veterans, and covering a wide range of ages. The sport provides a great way to exercise, meet friends or, for those who are competitive, a chance to participate in international sporting events. Corporations looking to do innovative team-building activities also organize events with the club. If you are interested in trying it out, practices are open to all individuals 14 and older. Check meetup.com or their site at orlandodragonboatclub.com for more information on upcoming practices.

Stay Spiritually Stylish
Spirituality just turned stylish! Illuminations in association with COTY, launched the new Guess fragrance: 'Dare' to bloggers, magazine editors and other media personnel alike from all over the U.A.E.
Illuminations conducted various activities for the dynamic personalities present for the launch. From awareness seminars on "Dare to be You, Dare to Stay True' informed women of their unlimited potential that opens up once they give up doubt and face their deepest fears!
Women embody many roles – that of a daughter, a wife, a mother, a career woman – the list is endless. In the awareness seminar, our facilitators presented suggestions through which a modern woman can still remain true to her authentic identity along with all the labels and relationships bestowed on her.
