BART lays out ambitious plans for new railcars
BART is set to embark on a $3.4 billion project to replace its existing trains with 700 new cars that will carry more people, move passengers through stations faster, and meet the needs of suburban and urban riders.
"This is a significant undertaking for this agency, one we don't even make every generation," BART General Manager Dorothy Dugger said Thursday. Many of the 669 BART cars now in service have been running since the system opened in 1972.
BART officials are confident they can get $1 billion, most of which would come from the federal government, to pay for 200 cars and hope to get a further $2.4 billion in funding to pay for the remaining 500 trains in the fleet. Some of the costs could be paid for by fare hikes and bridge toll increases.
The goal is to have the first 10 pilot cars delivered in 2014 and put those into regular service for more testing a year later. Ultimately, the cars would be delivered in stages, with the first big order completed in 2018 and the final one in 2024, if all goes according to plan. About eight cars could be built per month, officials estimate.
Now the push is to come up with the right blueprint, and Dugger and BART directors promised to fully involve the public in helping to design the new cars.
A big challenge, agency officials said, will be striking a balance between capacity and the comfort of riders - both seated and standing.
The agency has released a handful of conceptual designs, some of which show a very different BART car than what's now in use. In the most dramatic example, a row of poles runs down the middle of the train. Attached to the poles are pads on which passengers can lean.
In that configuration, there would be fewer seats and more space for people to stand in order to expand capacity. It also would free up more space for bicycles, luggage and strollers.
"I just hope they don't decide to pack us in like a can of sardines, like they do in Japan," said William Taylor, 28, who rides BART between the East Bay and San Francisco five days a week. "It's a pretty good ride now. If they can make it better, great."
BART now carries about 350,000 riders a day. Projections show the number jumping past 500,000 by 2035.
To handle the greater demand, BART is intent on reducing the time a train is stopped at a station. One way to do that would be to add a third door to each side of the train to make boarding and unloading easier.
When it comes to seats alone, there are a lot of decisions to make: Should the seats be cushioned or hard? How wide should they be? Which way should they face? Should some be able to accommodate three passengers instead of the standard two? What about their color? Leg room?
Whatever design is selected for the seats, Gail Murray, the BART director who represents Concord, Walnut Creek and other Contra Costa County communities, said she wants to make sure her constituents can sit.
"We just can't make them stand that long," she said.
Another area that will get a lot of attention is how to improve communications with passengers.
As any BART rider knows, it's a struggle to hear conductors announce the next stop and when trains are crowded, it is difficult to see which station you're pulling into.
BART officials promise that will change with automated voice messages and electronic signs.
Director Lynette Sweet, who represents portions of Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties, wants materials on the train interiors that are easy to clean, unlike the existing fabric seat cushions and carpeted floors that on good days are gritty and on bad days are gross.
That way Sweet might get her wish: to ease the onboard ban of eating and drinking.
Agency officials also vowed to make the trains as eco-friendly as possible and are looking at ways to reuse propulsion energy and install more energy-efficient heating, lighting and cooling systems.

text: Everybody has a different name for this vivid shade of pink. I call it "hot pink". Schiaparelli had a similar color called "shocking pink". The important thing is, we have here a very brilliant pink quilted cotton-like vest with the word "Syobenkozo" on it, edged and lined in a fun fur. Not only the brilliant color, but the print stands out. You can see mischievous boys doing mischievous things with lower-case sentences reflecting on the mischievous nature of children and boys. Some of these sentences are pretty clear, while some are a bit more cryptic: The children played a trick on the oldman. It's left to your imagination to decide if that included ringing the doorbell and running, egging the house, hiding something valuable, or whatever pranks were popular in the 80's in Japan. Although the vest seems to be cut for men, due to the size and color, it could easily double as a women's garment, but we here are Monster Vintage think it's always a nice shot in the arm to see a man's garment in such a lively color. There are many more views of this great vest. Click here to see them and for sizing information!

An expansion of the fuel range in the small to medium scale combustion sector to include also residues from forest and agriculture industries could on long term contribute with up to 100 TWh/a within EU. A substantial part of this could come from Sweden. But if this type of fuels should directly be used in today's small-to-medium scale furnaces, the effect would most probably be significant operational problems and unacceptably high emission levels. Such would be e.g. ash slagging and corrosive deposits beside high levels of both gaseous and particulate emissions. Therefore, the objective of this project is to increase the fuel flexibility and innovation potential of the use of difficult solid biomass fuels in small to medium scale combustion.
The Swedish contribution will be research actions on ash transformation and fixed-bed combustion, which are expected to contribute to new fuel design concepts and other innovative technology solutions.

The rise of digital photography has come at the dismay of many older photographers, as well as younger photographers who appreciate the precision and effort it takes to shoot film. There has been a big debate recently (and not so recently) regarding the "death of photography". Not surprisingly, a big factor of this debate has been the abundance of smart phones, and, consequently, the rise of the Instagram photographer. Sure, anyone can snap a photograph on their iPhone, edit it through VSCO Cam, post it on Instagram and call themselves a photographer. But can these people look through a vintage film camera, accurately expose a shot and develop the film themselves? Film is a dying breed, but those who grew up shooting film can't seem to let it go. So what's the big debate about film vs. digital photography?
Let's Talk Film for a Second
Have you ever taken a photography class where you had to develop your own film? First, you have to load the film into the camera itself. If we're talking old 35mm cameras, the process is fairly self-explanatory but can seem tricky at first. If we're talking medium format or large format cameras, that's a whole different ball game. Then, in order to take the photographs, you must interpret the light meter in order to avoid having overexposed or underexposed images. Once you click the shutter, you don't even know what the photograph will look like until it's developed! This process continues until the roll ends; the entire time you are left wondering if you loaded the film correctly or if your light meter is accurate.
Then you enter the darkroom. You must fumble around in the pitch black, hoping that you grabbed everything you need in order to load the film correctly. You pop open the top of the film and begin to load it onto the reel. Halfway through, the film gets stuck and you have to start all over again. Finally, you have successfully loaded your film onto the reel, placed the reel in its container and screwed on the lid tightly so that no light is allowed in.
Now it's time to actually develop your film. You pour the developer in – you must check the chart and match it up to the type of film you shot to ensure proper development time. Agitate once every 30 seconds, but don't agitate too much or too little or your photographs may end up having streaks. Then you must stop the developing process with another chemical, then you must "fix" the film with the last chemical. Remove the film from the reel, hang it up to dry, and now you're ready to enlarge.
Does that seem like a lot of work just to get 24 images prepped for enlarging? It is. Is it really as horrible as the process makes it out to be? It isn't. For many, the process of developing film and enlarging images is a sort of meditation. It's extremely satisfying to watch a blank sheet of photo paper turn into an image you took right before your eyes.
Now Let's Take a Look at Digital
You turn on your camera, take a look in the viewfinder, and *click*. You press the playback button and your photograph is right there on the screen in front of you. Overexposed? No problem! Take another look through the viewfinder, increase the shutter speed by a couple of stops, and *click*. You take another look at your screen. Ah, there it is. You don't know how to read the light meter? No problem! Set your camera to Automatic, Portrait, or Landscape and it will do all of the work for you. *Click* *click* *click*. You've just taken 50 images in the same location, all perfectly exposed, all ready for printing. You upload them onto your computer and drag them into Adobe Photoshop. If something doesn't look quite right, no problem, that's an easy fix! Auto Contrast and Auto Color will fix that right up, and you can send them directly to the printer.
Now, I understand that this is a generalization. Digital photography can be just as complex as film photography, but it doesn't take as much education and skill to dive right into it. If I hand a child a film camera and tell them to bring me back 5 enlarged images without any further instruction, do you think they could figure out how to develop the film and enlarge the photographs by themselves? But if I handed a child a digital camera and told them to bring me back 5 printed images, I assume that they'd be familiar enough with technology to be able to do just that.
Why All The Fuss?
This is the problem that many people have with the rise of digital photography: it's too accessible. Anyone and everyone can call themselves a photographer, and if they have the money for the equipment they can take professional looking images as well. Many people say "it's not the lens, it's the person behind the lens". But if, as an artist, all I can afford is a simple point and shoot, my images will not turn out as aesthetically pleasing as the business man with a Canon FTb and a 50mm f/1.2 lens. It's an unfortunate fact, and a fact that gets many film photographers heated.
So Which is Better?
There really is no answer to this question. Some people prefer to shoot in film, and some people prefer to shoot in digital. There are many photographers who know how to properly shoot and develop their own film, but find the digital workflow much more satisfying. It's all about personal preference. If you can't seem to decide between the two, try both! Want in on a little secret? I shoot all color film, have it processed at a lab, and then personally scan the photographs onto my computer and edit them digitally. It really is the best of both worlds! It's important to understand how to read a light meter, understand white balance and how to properly expose images in a wide variety of difficult situations, but truth be told, that can be learned on either format.

P&M Client Update
Fall 2018
By Staff Writer November 1, 2018
The Fall season is upon us and it's been a while since we apprised you of our more interesting cases and activities. Our firm has matured over the past five years into a sophisticated international practice, involved in all sectors of the art market, from Contemporary to Modern to Renaissance to Antiquity.
- Aboutaam v. L'Office fédérale de la culture de la Confédération Suisse et al., Case Number: 1:18-cv-08248-RA. We represent Hicham Aboutaam in his suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Swiss Federal Office of Culture, Swiss Federal Customs Administration and Canton of Geneva. Mr. Aboutaam owns $90 million in antiquities that have been "frozen" by the Swiss defendants in connection with their actions against Phoenix S.A., an antiquities gallery in Geneva owned by Mr. Aboutaam's brother. Mr. Aboutaam seeks declaratory judgment that he has title to his property—to which no third party has asserted any claim—and judgment on claims of conversion and unjust enrichment against the defendants, who have expropriated his property without just compensation, in violation of Swiss and international law.
- Beierwaltes v. L'Office fédérale de la culture de la Confédération Suisse et al., Case Number: 1:18-cv-0211-MSK-MEH. We are co-counsel to Lynda and William Beierwaltes, who are Colorado citizens. The Beierwaltes have consigned 18 antiquities worth $8 million to Phoenix in Geneva. The Beierwaltes' property has also been "frozen" by the Swiss defendants. The Beierwaltes have commenced a parallel action in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, asserting causes of action against the defendants similar to those asserted by Mr. Aboutaam.
- In re Marc Salz, etc. against Bellagio, LLC, et al. and Christies, Inc., et al., 2018 Slip Op 04965 [First Dep't July 5, 2018]. In July 2018, the Appellate Division, First Department unanimously affirmed the Order of the New York County Surrogate's Court granting our clients' (Bellagio and MGM Resorts), motion to dismiss and denying the turnover petition of Marc Salz. Salz had claimed that Renoir's La Balayeuse had been wrongfully removed from his father's estate. The court held that Salz's allegations were insufficient to show that his father owned La Balayeuse at the time of death and that the statute of limitations for fraud had run.

Judicial Incompetence in Art Disputes
The Art Market is Searching for Answers
By MICHAEL MCCULLOUGH May 14, 2018
There is a theory in the art market which has not been fully formulated, but which is largely accepted and is brought forward to criticize any judicial decision involving a work of art. It might be called, until a better name is found, the Theory of Judicial Incompetence in Art Disputes. According to this theory, judges and juries are too thoughtless to understand the complexities of the art market, and the authenticity of an artwork can only be fully comprehended by an art expert in his or her native environment, meaning anywhere outside of a courtroom.
At present this theory is being used to promote a new set of arbitration guidelines, called the "NAI Adjunct Arbitration Rules," created by the Netherlands Arbitration Institute (NAI) and The Hague-based Authentication in Art (AiA). The NAI has been conducting arbitration for over six decades and has developed the NAI Arbitration Rules to suit a broad range of commercial disputes. The AiA is an independent nonprofit organization founded in December 2012 and consists of a group of international art world professionals. These Adjunct Arbitration Rules (AAR) supplement the primary NAI Arbitration Rules specifically for disputes in the international art market.
The AAR apply wherever the parties to an art market dispute agree to submit their dispute to resolution by arbitration in accordance with the AAR. This is usually done in the purchase agreement or in an auctioneer's terms of sale but could be in an agreement after a dispute arises. To be clear, the AAR can apply to any art market dispute: authenticity, ownership, other contact claims, etc. However, the rules were first formulated to deal with authenticity disputes and seem better suited for this type of claim.
The AAR creates an "Arbitrator Pool" and an "Expert Pool" to decide disputes. The Arbitrator Pool is a group of arbitrators composed primarily of international lawyers with experience in litigating or counseling clients in art law disputes. The Expert Pool is composed of specialists qualified to address authenticity issues and includes international materials analysts, forensic scientists, art historians, and provenance researchers. The authenticity of artwork is typically evaluated according to standards of connoisseurship, provenance, and forensic science. While relevant scholars of an artist must be approached on a case-by-case basis, experts in the fields of provenance and forensic science can analyze objects of art more generally. As an alternative to having disputing parties retain their own respective experts in these fields, with such experts then advocating for their side, the AAR offers the Expert Pool to provide the exclusive analysis and testimony on these subjects. The parties may retain their own consulting experts to assist in their work with, and examinations or cross-examinations of, the chosen experts from the Expert Pool.
For artwork valued at or above € 500,000, the arbitration proceedings are conducted before a three-arbitrator panel. For objects of art valued below € 500,000, the parties conduct their arbitration proceedings before a sole arbitrator. In the case of a sole arbitrator, the parties must agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator from the Arbitrator Pool. If the parties are unable to agree, then the NAI appoints the arbitrator pursuant to the procedure in the NAI Rules. In the case of appointment of a three-member arbitrator panel, each party selects one arbitrator from the Arbitrator Pool and those two selected arbitrators jointly agree upon the selection of a third.
The AAR provides that the only admissible expert evidence in an authenticity dispute regarding issues of forensic science or the provenance of an artwork must be from an expert or experts chosen from the Expert Pool. All other expert witness evidence may come from any party-appointed experts.
A unique aspect of the AAR is the appointment of a "technical process advisor" to assist the arbitrator(s) in identifying and the gathering of relevant evidence in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The advisor acts under the authority and direction of the arbitrator(s), but may, if requested, draft proposed procedural orders for adoption by the arbitrator(s). The advisor does not attend the hearing on the merits or participate in the deliberations. However, the arbitrator(s) may wish to have the advisor present at hearings on procedural matters of an evidentiary nature to facilitate obtaining the advisor's advice on such issues.
If the parties have not agreed to a governing law in their contract, the AAR provides that an appropriate choice of law for arbitration will be the law of the principal location of the seller, if known at the time of the transaction, in the case of a sale transaction. In matters other than a sale, an appropriate choice is the law of the principal location of the owner of the art object in question at the time of commencement of the arbitration. Under the NAI Arbitration Rules, the arbitrator(s) is to base its decisions on the rules of law, while respecting any applicable art industry trade usages. Should the parties prefer instead that the arbitrator(s) not be bound by such law, the parties must so authorize the arbitrator(s) in accordance with the NAI Arbitration Rules.
It is common for a plaintiff in an art dispute to bring a claim many year or even decades after the acquisition, particularly in the context of title claims. The AAR confirms that prescriptive periods and similar time-bar principles are intended to be respected where the party raising a claim or defense has no justification for its failure to timely advance its case. The purpose is to protect the other party from "stale" claims or defenses which were not pursued with reasonable diligence and other situations of undue prejudice, such as where evidence has been lost due to the long passage of time.
Under the NAI Arbitration Rules, a party may ask the arbitrator(s) to rectify a manifest error in an award with two months of the date of the award. However, there is no right to appeal the arbitrator(s) decision to any other body or tribunal.
Since the place of arbitration is in the Netherlands and the Netherlands is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards ("New York Convention"), an award can be enforced in the many countries and other territories that are signatories to the convention or similar treaties with the Netherlands. A party seeking to enforce a final award, may follow the statutes, rules or regulations of the signatory country in which enforcement is sought.
My view is that the New York courts are very capable of handling art market disputes. I would prefer to be in a state or federal court in New York with an ownership dispute and I don't think that arbitration under the AAR would provide a better result. In fact, I'm uncomfortable with the AAR rule cited above on statute of limitation; I would have expected a much more robust discussion of this complex area of the law. While I have had much success is settling authenticity disputes without having to use the courts, when forced to file suit my cases have settled very quickly. However, other lawyers have had authenticity disputes linger in the courts for years with costly results, and the AAR could offer a better forum for those types of cases.

You know you need to work out, but wonder how hard you need to exercise and how you can tell if you're actually becoming more fit. The key is in understanding your different heart rates and what those numbers actually mean.
1. Heart Rate is the average number of times your heart beats per minute. Your heart 'beats' when it contracts and pumps blood through your body.
2. Resting Heart Rates indicates your basic overall heart health. The more conditioned you are, the less effort it takes to pump blood through your body and will be reflected in a lower resting heart rate.
To get a resting exercise heart rate, take your pulse after being still for five or more minutes, preferably in the same position you'll be in during exercise. That is, if you're going to walk, then stand quietly for five minutes and then note your heart rate.
3. Warm-Up Heart Rate is a heart rate that should be HALFWAY between your resting heart rate and target heart rate. By monitoring your warm-up heart rate, you can assess whether you've transitioned properly from rest to exercise with respect to:
- Increased blood flow
- Body temperature
- Oxygen transport
- Metabolism
This will reduce the onset of lack of oxygen (ischemia), chest pain (angina), irregular heart beats (arrhythmias), and other dysfunctions during the conditioning exercise phase.
4. Maximum Heart Rate is the highest number of times your heart contracts in one minute. It can be determined accurately via a graded exercise test, i.e., a stress test on a treadmill, or can be predicted by your age.
5. Target (or Training) Heart Rate Range is a safe heart rate range that helps you maintain an intensity level during exercise. Exercise is a rhythmic, continuous and uses large muscle groups.
Your target heart rate is prescribed based on several factors, such as your age, maximum heart rate, current fitness level, health goals, resting heart rate, and the medications you're taking.
By exercising in your training heart rate zone, you prevent working your heart too hard as well as not hard enough. Your individual training heart rate can change over time based on your physiological response and adaptation to exercise.
6. Heart Rate Recovery helps evaluate your overall fitness level. Heart rate recovery is the difference in training heart rate (when you're sustaining this rate steadily during exercise) and your heart rate taken one minute after stopping.
For example…
- 130 (heart rate during exercise at a steady peak training heart rate) minus 100 (heart rate after stopping) = 30 beats per minute (Heart Rate Recovery)
The faster your heart recovers (or slows down) after exercising indicates a healthier heart. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed that heart rate recovery after exercise is a powerful predictor of mortality. A heart rate recovery of 12 or less beats per minute is considered abnormal (or slowed) and is associated with a poor prognosis.
Keep aiming for a higher heart rate recovery number because it's a sign that you're becoming more fit. The goal is 30-39 beats per minute.
Fit Tip: Heart rate recovery is a guide to exercise progression. Your recovery can also be affected by dehydration or overheating, so be sure to stay hydrated and avoid working out in the hot sun or heat.

New Movies Coming to Theatres
Hey guys, these are the five movies that are coming to theatres near you christmas day: Bedtime Stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Marley and Me, The Spirit and Valkyrie. Personally, I am an action and humor type of person so I would probably go see The Spirit or Valkyrie. If you want humor, I'm basing this off the tv commercials, then go see Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is more of a "chick flick" but if you are in to romance stories this is the one for you. My sister is raving about this movie which stars Brad Pitt. The last movie, Marley and Me, I think isn't going to do very well. It's just another movie starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston and a dog. The dog is the main character! Not the stars that get paid millions of dollars. It feels like another Beethoven movie. However, I might be wrong and this is just my opinion so if you want to see it go right ahead. But if I was to spend 10 to 11 dollars on a movie ticket and maybe more including popcorn and a soda I would head for Valkyrie or the Spirit.

The municipality is one of 13 finalists in the running for a provincial award, which recognizes local governments that support small business.
It's called the Open for Business Awards.
"We had a very strong submission, I thought, not being biased," laughed Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden. "So I was really pleased to see that we were short-listed."
The mayor pointed to several highlights in the Whistler submission that may have tipped the scales in its favour.
"We pointed to the fact that we delivered a budget without increasing property taxes, or fees, for the last three years so that of course helped small and large business," said the mayor.
Also included in the submission was the fact that the municipality has been investing in programs and projects that help business and help Whistler stay competitive, and it helps fund Tourism Whistler and the Chamber of Commerce, both of which have small and large business interests at heart, said the mayor.
There is also the work of the Economic Partnership Initiative, which has a number of strategies that could help small business.
"And of course over the years the work of the Whistler Housing Authority has been extremely important in ensuring that at least 75 per cent of our workforce is housed locally and that is very important to small business," added Wilhelm-Morden.
The awards are issued by the BC Small Business Roundtable, established in 2005 to be the voice of small business to government.
The local government applications are evaluated based on how communities enhance small business competitiveness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promote the principles of the BC Small Business Accord.
In its release, the province outlined that small business is a key economic driver in B.C., with 98 per cent of all business being small business. That sector provides nearly 55 per cent of all private-sector jobs, employs one million people, and generates roughly 31 per cent of the provincial GDP.
"Small businesses are the heart and soul of our communities," said Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for small business in a release. "It's imperative that B.C. has a business-friendly climate that allows them to grow and succeed. The Open for Business awards are a great opportunity for us to recognize communities that value the importance of small business."
In addition to Whistler, the finalists are: Delta, Grand Forks, Kelowna, City of Langley, Nelson, Parksville, Port Coquitlam, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Smithers, Surrey and Vernon.
The province is providing awards of $10,000 to each winning community. The winners will be announced on Sept. 24 in Whistler at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention.

It was Sunday and I didn't intent to go to the park, it was a usual visit to my friend's house and he literally dragged me there. Though it was almost 6.30 in the afternoon, I wasn't amused by the idea mostly because of the climate. It was mid-summer; the air was dry and the land still radiating the heat from the setting sun. It was too hot outside and I preferred staying indoor in the confinement of the concrete walls enjoying the air condition. Any way I am here now out in the openness of the park, the usual picture of a park doesn't apply to this one though. There was less grass and more sand, it wasn't crowded at all but still there were people walking in the walk way some alone and other in pair, chattering and self-indulged in their own world that they don't even care to notice the ones passing by. In the park there was a small playing area for children, with swings, slides and lot of loose sand to play on. There were a dozen of them playing in it, with plenty of laughter and chatter, while their less animated plump moms were sitting on the bench nearby indulged in serious conversations about cookery shows, their neighbor's problems and the trouble they are having with their children. Most mothers thanked the schools, not for the elite educating their children got from there but for simply subjugating them for five to six hours. There is a saying in our country were most believes in reincarnation and karma that the worst enemy in one's previous life is the one that is born as his child in the present. But I don't believe in all these crap and to me I love children, they are innocent, simple, cute and filled with energy, above all when I am with them they make me a child who can be happy without any constraints of the adulthood. So here is my opinion, I don't care what most parents think, children are totally fun to be with, explicitly when they are not your own of course. In that moment of enlightenment my mind drifted into the future where I have a child of my own, may be two or more if I was that evil in my previous life. The cuteness, innocence and laughter, all disappeared from my eyes and all I could see was sleepless nights at first, compromised life style after and meaningless death in the end, all in the race to raise the child. I snapped out of the thought with a shock and looked at the children playing care free in the dirt, little devils in flesh and blood they are, I thought, playing all innocent and cute.
I was moving through these thoughts and before I was even aware of it I started walking with my friend, a few rounds around the walk way and I started dripping from my head to toe. Though walking seemed exhausting at the beginning, I started enjoying as it went. My body started to feel the freshness and more over my head felt light and all the tensions from my work just got erased. A little walk is not bad after all; I picked up some pace and started to jog. I am not a lean guy, not a muscular one either, a little bit over weight if you look that keenly, so like all those in my bodily category a sudden inspiration struck me, I need to take care of my body now, starting from tomorrow, evening is jogging time though deep inside I knew that it's not going to happen. Few more minutes passed and every inch of my body was wet, I searched for a nice place to lay flat. My friend was still at hard work while I lay on the grass, watering it and watching the dark sky. It seems the same, even though thousands of miles away from my homeland, it is the same sky that I used to spectate from the terrace back home. I use to make sword out of the Orion cluster and will fight the evil swordsman on their black horses, becoming the white knight for humanity. Into the unknown darkness I will swing my star sword, tearing apart the dark space and bringing light to all, the surrounding stars will twinkle brightly showing their respect and gratitude to the warrior. In that heroic memory I naively raised my hand towards the sky to pick that sword up, to become the knight once again.

Imagine a way to travel for free to another country and without being inspected by authorities. You must think: "It is a horrible hole in time-space for smugglers, terrorists, illegal immigration…" But really, if you find this, don't tell anybody and enjoy holidays for free if destination is a paradise.
All the contrary which happened to a friend from another friend who told me that on the route 999, which goes from Siberia to Mongolia, it seems happen a weird space-time paranormal phenomenon:
"A truck driver, who had to travel that route often, noted that in the section linking the town of Kraken and Mon-kink, a paranormal phenomenon of time distortion occurs. According to his testimony, on three separate occasions while driving he felt a little disoriented on the route, so when reacting, he discovered that something changed on the landscape, especially when he saw a signboard with weird characters written on, and near an odd green being screaming scared."
The problem was to return to the route, and really it was a waste of money on fuelling the truck again.

This is a hawk.
"These birds are slender with short broad rounded wings and a long tail which helps them maneuver in flight. They have long legs and long sharp talons used to kill their prey and a sharp hooked bill used in feeding. Females tend to be larger in size than males.
They often ambush their prey, capturing it after a short chase. They mainly eat small birds and mammals."

What We Offer
Creating an income plan to last throughout retirement is perhaps the single most important challenge retirees will face. After all, with the fact that we're all living longer combined with advanced medical science and technology, it's very probable that people who are retiring today could spend 30 years or more living in retirement without earned income and only from social security and investments to support them. That's a scary and very realistic thought.
That's why we make income planning our top priority at our firm. We help our clients establish a solid income plan guaranteed to last as long as they do. In other words, the income plans we prepare for our clients are guaranteed to "go the distance." Even if that means they live to be 120 or older! They are guaranteed to always receive that monthly check.
If an income plan is the most important thing in retirement, peace of mind might be the second. Let us help you create and income strategy you can't outlive so that you can enjoy retirement with confidence and certainty.
You've spent the last 40 years, or longer, in the accumulation phase of planning your retirement. Now it's time to switch gears and focus on the preservation of your retirement assets. But it doesn't mean that growth has to stop. In fact, that's one of the ways we help our clients the most, by helping them receive a reasonable rate of return throughout their retirement years. The difference is, we do it without loss, guaranteed!
Did you know that Warren Buffett's number one rule to investing is to never lose money? He also has a second rule and that is to never forget rule number one!
We specialize in helping our clients make asset protection and preservation their top priority. Many people underestimate the devastation of losses to their portfolio due to market declines and don't realize how difficult it can be to rebuild an account.
Did you know that a loss of 25% requires a positive return of almost 34% just to get back to even? A 50% loss of your retirement account means you have to double your money (receive a 100% return) just to be whole again. Think about it. If you have $100,000 and lose 50%, you're left with $50,000. Now you're left with the insurmountable task of going from $50,000 back to your original deposit of $100,000; a return of 100%. How long do you think that will take? Two years? Five years? Ten years or more? What if you experience additional losses in the process of trying to get back to even? What if you're drawing income from this account? What kind of impact will that have?
We believe that the best way to make a dollar is to keep it. Retirement is a critical time and most retirees simply don't have the time to recoup losses in their portfolios. Let us show you how we help our clients achieve a reasonable rate of return, in many cases averaging 4 to 6%, and without ever subjecting their retirement accounts to loss – guaranteed!
Many of our clients are the ones with the bumper sticker on the back of their RV that says, "We're spending our kids' inheritance," but for many others, their goal is to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren. That means determining (while you're still alive) where your assets should go after you die, along with a thorough evaluation of potential tax liabilities, probate avoidance and opportunities to leverage the value of your estate using the most recent estate planning tools.
Because of the constantly changing estate tax laws and emerging vehicles to help you protect and transfer your assets effectively, it's important to work with experienced estate planning professionals who stay current in this field and advise clients on a day-to-day basis.
Contact our office today to schedule a one-on-one estate planning consultation.
Changing jobs and retiring are two transition times in our lives that can be stressful. Fortunately, we work with people every day who are in the same situation and looking to take control of an employer-sponsored plan or just need help transferring the money to another employer plan. We make a seemingly daunting task easy and are happy to help you with your qualified plan questions and needs.
Here are four things you can do with the money in your employer sponsored retirement plan:
- Leave the money where it is
- Take the cash (and pay taxes, plus a 10% tax penalty if you are younger than age 59 ½)
- Transfer the money to another employer-sponsored plan (if the plan allows)
- Roll the money over to a self-directed IRA
Let us help you determine if a rollover is the right move for you!

In Patricia O'Hara's popular new introductory chemistry course, the periodic table of elements includes nitrogen, mozzarella and prosciutto.
"Molecular Gastronomy and Food Science: From Test Tubes to Taste Buds" looks like a cross between a cooking class and a science lab—and that's the point, said O'Hara, the Amanda and Lisa Cross Professor of Chemistry.
Liquid nitrogen puts a new spin on cuisine: Voila, flash-frozen crumbled prosciutto.
(See more photos from the class on Flickr.)
"I love science, and I really want my students to love it too, but so often they don't see the relevance of the topics I'm teaching to their lives," she said.
She sought inspiration from a subject that gets practically everyone's attention: "I felt there could not be a better vehicle than food. Essentially the act of eating, physically, is a combustion reaction."
"If you have 'This is hydrochloric acid. This is sodium hydroxide. Let's mix them together. Let's take an indicator,' that's kind of boring," she continued. "But what if you say, 'Why is yogurt different than milk? What is it that is happening?'"
O'Hara has been traveling to Turkey to lead workshops on the science of olive oil since 2010. For her upcoming sabbatical year, she'll spend six months teaching at Istanbul's Boğaziçi University, and then she and her husband, Richard Blatchly (a chemistry professor at Keene State College) will depart to South Africa to observe the spring olive harvest.
But "Molecular Gastronomy" at Amherst is her first opportunity to put non-science majors in a lab setting. "Having it be lab-based is really important to me," she said, "because that's the real unique quality that science has that it shares with art and theater. In some sense it's a performing art."
"The chemistry lab is like a kitchen," she noted. "It has counters; it has sinks; it has electricity for gadgets; it has good lighting; it has stools, refrigerators, hotplates, stirring machines."
The class revolves around the chemistry of nutrition, but it also focuses on the experience of food. According to the course description, students "examine our core requirements for food as we eat to live, and some of the cultural, social, historical and culinary dimensions as we live to eat."
The race is on to create a science-based appetizer.
(See more photos from the class on Flickr.)
Most of the course explores modernist cuisine, the science-based reconstruction of fine cooking advanced by physicist, inventor, businessman and amateur chef Nathan Myhrvold. Students read roughly a chapter per week from Myhrvold's Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, which O'Hara praises as a cookbook "full of biology [and] full of nutrition," featuring diagrams and detailed scientific explanations as well as recipes.
O'Hara teaches that the human invention of cooking had three important purposes: to render tough foods chewable, to kill anything in the food that might make us sick and to preserve the food longer. As technology now renders this less necessary, modernist chefs look at new ways to prepare food. For example, diners at high-end restaurants will pay top dollar to have ice cream made at their table using liquid nitrogen. O'Hara does a version of fast-frozen ice cream herself: in her other role as dean of new students, she's prepared it at parties in each of the first-year dorms.
Her "Molecular Gastronomy" students tried a high-tech version of a very old kind of cryocuisine (that is, food-freezing) familiar to New Englanders: "sugar on snow." In the kitchen lab, they compared the qualities of hot maple sugar as it was poured on ordinary ice, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and liquid nitrogen. While the ordinary ice produced the familiar sweet treat, the syrup descended into a congealed puddle beneath the dry ice. The liquid nitrogen put on a spectacular show of bubbling fog, leaving an amber-clear cluster of frozen sap crystals that melted in one's mouth.
Reviews varied among students, several of whom had never before tried maple syrup, let alone sugar on snow.
"I'm a fan of goo, so I like the dry ice," said Elena Villafana '14.
Students eat this all up, literally and figuratively. The class filled up quickly and has excellent attendance, particularly for one that convenes at 8:30 a.m., the professor said.
Allison Merz '14 explains part of the appeal: "There is a strict 'no eating or drinking' policy in every other lab course, but here we can eat our experiments."
"Students come to me with a real passionate interest in just learning more about food," O'Hara said. They "want to eat without pesticides and eat local foods on the one hand, and on the other hand … learn techniques of what is called the modernist cuisine."
The cryocuisine lessons culminated in a cooking competition straight out Iron Chef: given ingredients including prosciutto, mozzarella balls, tomatoes and fruit, lab partners were challenged to create an appetizer in 20 minutes.
Amherst's only chemistry lab with a taste test: the judges convene. Presentation matters.
They donned safety gloves and set to work, grinding, slicing, arranging. In a new twist on fondue, students dipped ingredients in liquid nitrogen to freeze them, with varying degrees of success.
"We could put some cheese in it…"
"Drizzle that on top…"
"I feel like I'm on Top Chef."
Then came the taste test.
"I liked the pineapple flavored with the melon," said Merz. "That was really a special combination. It chilled well; the other fruits were totally frozen."
As students nibbled at their lab work, O'Hara polled each team about the preferred elements for their next experiment."Do you want seafood or steak?" she asked.

UGI Penn Natural Gas Donating Personal Care Products to Children's Organizations
13 Apr 2010
(April 19, 2010) – UGI Utilities, Inc., in conjunction with National Volunteer Week – which begins today – is supplying personal care items for local children's organizations in the Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Williamsport areas.

The personal care drive is one of many volunteer initiatives by UGI employees throughout the year. During National Volunteer Week, UGI recognizes employees who are involved in community and education activities during the previous year.
In 2009, 460 of UGI's 1,413 employees (nearly 33 percent) devoted 40,714 hours to community and education volunteer service. These efforts include UGI's signature partnership with the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF™) children's literacy organization, as well as its strong support of hundreds of organizations including the United Way, the American Cancer Society, Easter Seal Society and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
During National Volunteer Week 2010, UGI Penn Natural Gas and Electric Division employees will be volunteering at soup kitchens in Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Williamsport. In addition, UGI Penn Natural Gas employees will participate in RIF book distributions Wednesday, April 21, and
Thursday, April 22, respectively, at 1 p.m. at the Frances Willard Elementary School, 100 Eynon Street, and the John Marshall Elementary School, 1415 Oram Street, in the Scranton School District.

What do you think hand made is?
This question comes up often . If you use a power tool / machine on a project can you call it hand made? Well , what if you just use power tools to thickness plane a board, is that hand made? At what point do you draw the line, or do you feel that anything that you make even if every piece is machined with a power tool it is still hand made?
Now everyone has different feelings on this and I want to here yours.
Later on this week I will post an article that expresses my feelings on the subject, but till then I would like to hear what you think.
8/28/2012 09:22:58 am
I think you should add another % group - maybe 10% or less. That would be for thickness planing and maybe jointing one edge. Everything else would be done by hand. I'm getting too old for that bull work.
8/28/2012 09:43:25 am
I have built items with no power, and some with all power, some in between, and consider all of it "hand made". A machine didn't measure each piece, a machine didn't glue or clamp pieces, correct mistakes, etc. Not sure how one determines 39%, or 49% makes it hand mde or not. Interesting topic, looking forward to your article.
Hi Rick, thanks for your thoughts. I know that my article is a very personal view and I am going to try and let that be known. Topics like this are more individual in nature than actual fact, black and white. I think many of us view "hand made" as something different. That is kind of the point of the future article and of this poll.
8/28/2012 01:43:10 pm
I am disturbed by an attempt to define Hand Made this way... I personally feel it should mean without automation or With greater human involvement...
Pete, thanks for your comments, your comments are the exact reason why I am doing this poll to begin with. Everyone thinks of things differently, not everyone feels strongly about the use or none use of power tool/machines in their projects. let alone in the description or definition of "hand made" .
8/28/2012 10:17:55 pm
To me, hand made means no power tools, not even for stock prep. I sell my work for a living, working entirely by hand. That is the niche I've carved out for myself. It's tough work but my clients appreciate that I work in the old ways with old tools. When someone says its "hand made, in the old way" and uses power tools, it undercuts me and I don't appreciate the half-truth. The Amish are notorious for this in my area. Sure, they don't use electricity, but they use hydraulicly powered jointers and planers. Table saws too.
Thanks for the comment Zach. I completely agree with you. I am from the mid-west also, I actually was born not to far from one of those Amish communities in northern Indiana , and I know what you mean, the Amish ride of their mystique and that helps them sell furniture that everyone assumes is hand made and is way better than anything else out there.

To me handmade is not about the tools you use as much as it is about how much the process is controlled by the hand and eye of the craftsman. It is the difference between loading material into a machine then removing it at the other end and actively guiding the process each step of the way. I exclude the milling process form the equation because it is not likely that anyone has a source for lumber that has not been touched by an electrical or mechanical process at some point. Trees are harvested with chain saws and machinery not two men and a crosscut felling saw. The trees then move to a sawmill where they are cut on machines not by two men at a saw pit. It is at the rough cut point in the process that I source my lumber and then use a jointer, planer and table saw to size and true it. Some woodworkers will wait until the material has been further processed at the lumber yard and has been sized and surfaced before purchasing it at the Big Box store. If both I and the person sourcing lumber at Lowes/Home Depot complete the process with all hand powered tools is there really a difference? If we both build the exact same piece would mine not be hand made because I used power in my process while the Big Box woodworker did not? Do we split hairs even further to include tools and exclude Lie-Nielsen/Veritas tools because they use modern methods and materials in the manufacturing process rather than using wooden planes with hand forged and tempered irons? I conclude that if handmade is not the involvement of the craftsman in the process then it started to die under the Romans in the third century when they built their hydraulically (water) powered sawmill at Hierapolis and men like Krenov and Maloof were just spitting out machine made junk.
8/29/2012 01:11:07 am
James, no hand tools are excluded. I have no problem with hobbiest woodworkers calling their work handmade when they use power tools. I do have a problem when my competitors work from "Craftsmanship of Certainty" i.e. jigs, fenced saws, digitally-set thickness planers, etc. and compare that to my "Craftsmanship of Risk", where I control every cut and never rely on a machine to do it for me. And if I could buy pitsawn lumber, even if it cost more, I would do it.

Zach, I hear what you are saying however if you are using a hand plane then you are using a jig, as it is a refined version of a chisel jigged in a holder and little more. Many specialty hand planes use fences, so I presume you must be cutting your panel grooves by hand sawing and chiseling or similar. Not sure how much luck you would have with a grooving plane without a fence.
Hi James , thanks for the comment.

Hi folks, so with all this talk of storage it's about time I spoke a little bit about thin provisioning! Now here is a new question I've been asked a lot. What exactly is thin provisioning?
Well you might see this term thrown about not just with VMware but with SANs as well. In the simplest of terms, thin provisioning is the act of over-allocating storage. Thin provisioning is a feature provided for you in VMware but it is also provided in many SAN products natively.
Here is an example. Let's say you have 1 TB of space left on your SAN and you get a few customer requests for allocating some new virtual servers in the environment. The total sum of all the disks you need might exceed the 1 TB you have left. How do you deal with this? When you create the disks, you create them as "thin" instead of "thick". So let's say you need to create a 500 GB data drive. But you know that the customer will not use up that whole 500 GB drive for at least a year. All you have to do is create the drive as thin and then the drive will only actually use up the space that is actually used instead of the whole 500 GB. So if there is 50 GB's of data on the drive, that is the actual size of the disk. This way you have plenty of time to go out and shop around to get the storage you want down the road. You don't need it up front.
What are the disadvantages? If you forget to add more disk before you run out of storage then you can end up crashing your environment. Not good! Also with thin provisioning you can run into performance issues. I tend to reserve thin provisioning for non-critical items in my environment.

Bench= Theriot, Hart, Ludwick, S.Baker, Valverde, Wuertz
DL=Webb, T.Hudson, Kuo, K.Johnson, Beltre
Thanks in advance!
Big Mike
1. I like Montero, I always have. He's 26-years old and has previously demonstrated the ability to be a strong hitter at the catcher position. His walk and strikeout rates are consistent with his previous skill levels. He has begun to hit more groundballs and fewer fly balls which explains his higher batting average. Groundballs fall for hits more often than fly balls. His power is about the same as always thanks to a career-high HR/FB ratio (nothing outrageous just a few points higher than usual). He's for real. In a full-time role I would expect him to hit around .270-.275 with 10-12 home runs.
2. The D'Backs have always preferred to split their catcher at-bats with Montero receiving about a third of them. Chris Snyder is out with a back injury. Back injuries always have to be taken very seriously especially when playing such a physically demanding position. I can see the team using a more even 50/50 split when Snyder returns. Though any player who can return from fractured testicles has to get the benefit of the doubt when his toughness is in question. Both players are similar defensively (by RF/9) over the last couple of seasons so their production with the bat is more important than it would be if one were significantly better than the other. Montero seems clearly the more skilled hitter in my opinion Snyder takes more walks but strikes out more often and has less power.
3. I would drop Mike Wuertz. With your collection of closers he is very unnecessary.

Save This House! A North Carolina Beauty on 54 Acres
by Melanie Moore Krogman
Historical integrity, large rooms, and 54 acres! Start the new year off right by fixing up this incredible North Carolina home. She is ready and waiting for continued renovations and some TLC from the right owners.
For just $169,500, you'll be buying into an abundance of historical value and opportunity consisting of… well, just about anything you can dream up! This 4 bedroom, 3800 sq. ft. home comes complete with rolling pastures, its own pond, many outbuildings, and a smaller house.
6046 Nc Highway 4, Littleton, NC
Asking Price: $169,500
4 beds, 3800 sq. ft.
Lovely country setting! 54 acres with beautiful turn of the century historical home ready for restoration. Definitely will require alot of TLC but what a beautiful house this could be. Just open your mind to the possibilities. Approx. half property is open and half in growing timber. Some pastureland. Some renovation was started on the home but not completed. Lots of road frontage on 2 public roads. Several outbuildings. Pond on property. Camper on property conveys. Farmland is leased. Smaller house also on property and needs renovation. Would be perfect place for hunting. Level to gently rolling. 20 min. to beautiful Lake Gaston for fishing, swimming and other water sports. About mid-way between Interstate 95 and Interstate 85. ALL OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS NOT HEATED-NO HEAT IN EITHER STRUCTURE. MLS does not have an entry for unheated sq.ft.
Full listing information available at South Shore Realty.
Take a minute to absorb all of the details to found on that impressive, grand old façade. A central portico, fanlight, Corinthian-style columns—You had me at "Hello!"
The interior of the house boasts a staircase with lovely woodwork and detailing, wood floors, five fireplaces, tall ceilings, and incredibly large and elegant rooms. Someone get me a sturdy ladder, won't you? I'll roll up my sleeves and bring the elbow grease. Seriously, time's a wastin'!
Born and raised in Iowa, Melanie's mother and father both grew up on family farms where the old houses (mostly American Foursquares) were more often than not built by family and handed down to later generations. She remembers trips into town looking out the window of the back seat of the car admiring the Grand Victorian houses on the hills overlooking the river.
Melanie has a degree in Art Education from South Dakota State University. She has taught visual art and art history for 18 years. Besides teaching, she stays busy with her three kids, Kyle, Karlee and Caden along with the family dogs, Gus and Buddy. She can still be seen going through historical districts, but now she's in the driver's seat! She is super excited to contribute to CIRCA and hopes to help save some old houses!

This gorgeous little guy visited me at just about a week old. Total sweetpea.
It's unbelievable to me how quickly these teeny little loves that come to me for their newborn sessions blossom into these beautiful babies, who are smiling and curious about the world. And the fact that *I* get the honor of photographing them? Total icing on the cake.
This little guy was born with loyalty to IU and a head full of GORGEOUS blonde hair! Does it get any more precious than this??
Oh how fast these beautiful milestones come and go! It is such an honor to watch them through my lens. This little doll is the big ONE year old now!
...all snug in their beds while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads...

I live in the South which means that it doesn't get cold until later and when it does, it isn't all that cold. It also means that some leaves have started to fall off the trees, but there are plenty more where those came from.
Today is sunny with wispy clouds streaking a bright blue sky. It is also windy. My wind chimes are making lots of noise outside my window as I type. But I knew it was windy before because as I was leaving the development to get to the store, the leaves were falling like rain. It was such a pretty sight. They were swirling through the sky like large snowflakes and without the bitter cold.
Part of the Whole Life Challenge was to appreciate the world around me. I have tried, although not consistently, to notice the beauty of the world, the simplicity of nature, and the wonder of living here and now. Today I was struck by the who shebang.
I was buying food and once again I noticed that while the WLC is over, I have actually incorporated many things into my life over the eight weeks. I bought a second small saucepan today which doesn't sound very momentous, but it is. It was a conscious choice to eat different stuff. Dick hated the quinoa and I liked it. He doesn't want to eat it ever again and I do.
Tomorrow, I want to have ham and broccoli and then have quinoa. He can have rice. I have three different saucepans already, but how do you cook one serving of either of those in a two or three quart pan and not burn it to death. I needed another smaller pan. I spend money like we have it. Okay, it was $8 and not going to break the bank. The bigger problem I had at the store was deciding if I had a good place to keep it when not in use.
I also bought some more natural, no sugar added, peanut butter for me and some Jif peanut butter for him. This is a choice. I have learned how to make the stuff without sugar taste good buy stirring in some Stevia. Duh. But it tastes wonderful on my apples and so, I enjoy it.
I have butter for me and margarine for him. He eats bread and I don't. While I was on this challenge, Thomas's changed the recipe for their English muffins and they simply do not taste right which I thought at first was just me after eight weeks of no bread. But they don't cut right either and so I don't think it is me. I'm trying to decide what to do about no bread with my eggs and I think I will just have to scramble them.
I'm still drinking almond milk and have no problem with it. I like it in my coffee and I've tried cooking with it and it seems to work okay. I'm sure when I go to make the next batch of Beer Cheese Soup, I will get my regular pint of 1/2 and 1/2 and make the soup the right way because I sure don't want to ruin a batch of that.
I've been eating dried fruit and been less diligent about the sugar added to that. The dates are fine but the dried cranberries aren't. I'm not on a point system, so I'm not as fanatic about stuff. I'm still eating lots of cashews, almonds, and pistachios but some of the almonds had flavored sugar around them.
And the drop in fanaticism or lack of points led me to a bit of a problem this past week. I didn't mobilize for two days in a row because I have no idea why except I was too lazy to actually do it. Somehow, taking ten to fifteen minutes seemed like a struggle and instead I was tight and sore and didn't really need to be. I know better but I chose poorly because of – no good reason. Laziness, slacker status, dumbness – all are possible.
I don't know exactly what percentage of my food is "good" or "Paleo" or whatever designation. I've been eating Honey Mustard Dressing (homemade) on my salads, but after a few weeks of that, I'm ready for some vinaigrette again. My salads themselves stayed exactly the same. I bought some rice crackers which were better than wheat crackers inside my head, but I don't know about anywhere else. I made olive dip/spread again. I've eaten some cheese.
Dick brought me back some taffy from his trip to Florida. I don't know how much there was, but I ate it all. Every single piece. It was delicious and tasty but I didn't need it. I have asked him to not do that again, not because I don't like taffy, but because I do. I would have enjoyed ten pieces and been happy but instead I had at least a pound of the stuff and feel guilty and like I have no willpower or am ruled by appetites that should be controlled.
All that said, all the badness foods, four weeks after the challenge, and I'm back up a pound. So I need to rethink some of that. Mostly, I need to remember that life is for living and some bad foods are wonderful. The three bowls of ice cream with Velvet Fudge Sauce were worth every morsel. Even some of the taffy was. Eating out with friends and not obsessing about the menu was priceless. Knowing how to choose better was, too.
Appreciating not just the scenery, but the freedom to choose foods is something we all take for granted. There are some places in the world where food is so scarce, you eat what you have and hope there will be more tomorrow – which is truly Paleo, but not the way I want to select my diet.
I'm looking forward to our Thanksgiving feast. Sarah is hosting and is a wonderful cook. So is Dayna and quite frankly, so am I. I know that the food we are eating is not "compliant" and I know it will be tasty. And I'm willing to throw caution to the winds and enjoy the food and the family that surrounds it. What an easy choice to make.

Islamic Terrorism in Seattle, Jewish Woman Dead
Killing Jews is the logical consequence of calling them terrorists.
Terrorists deserve to die.
Killing Jews is the logical consequence of calling Israel a state engaged in genocide.
Supporters of genocide deserve to die.
When you say this expect this. It really is that simple.
The witness said the man identified himself as an American Muslim.Seattle Times:
One person was dead and five others were hospitalized this afternoon in after a shooting at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building in downtown Seattle by a man who declared he was "angry with Israel."Predictable:
Seattle police later arrested the alleged gunman, who reportedly had walked into the building between Lenora and Virginia streets on Third Avenue in Belltown and started shooting. One victim died at the scene, according to police....
All five of the wounded are women
Two women are in satisfactory condition. A 37-year-old woman, five months pregnant, One woman, who is 37 and 20 weeks pregnant, was shot in the forearm. The other woman was shot in the knee, Steele said.
David Gomez, an assistant special agent-in-charge for the FBI, said there is nothing to indicate the gunman is part of a larger organization.Which brings up an interesting question: must one belong to an organized group to be a terrorist?
I seem to recall that that nutjob who went up on the Temple Mount murdering Arabs was called a terrorist. And rightly so. He was a terrorist.
Seems to me that randomly killing members of an ethnic or religious group as a message to the larger group is the very definition of terrorism.
Me? I'm going to go buy a gun. I'm serious. UPDATE explanation: For the Instapundit peeps who don't know why I might need a gun, I'm not Jewish but am a proud supporter of Israel.
The reason for the gun? The death threats. Hundreds of them. All for criticizing the ROP over the years.
Suddenly those threats seem less idle than they did yesterday.
Check these blogs for updates: Pajamas Media, Gateway Pundit, Hot Air. Michelle Malkin and others.
Blogfather too, with video of the arrest.
Update by Vinnie Bias? What bias? "Gunman" "employees claimed to be Muslim"
Uh....AP, care to explain since you also put this in the article?
Staff members said they overheard him saying "'I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,' before opening fire on everyone," Meislin-Dietrich said.

Another time perhaps.
