Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' indication that he would agree to land swaps with Israel to get a Palestinian state helps prospects for a peace deal but also opens the door to new problems.
Even after land swaps, tens of thousands of Israeli Jews may remain scattered in cities and villages that would come under Palestinian domain. Israeli leaders may also be faced with having to turn over land in which Israeli citizens of Arab descent currently reside.
In both cases, both Jewish and Arab Israelis are likely to resist what negotiators on both sides may agree to, analysts say.
The physical outline of a future Palestinian state is "probably the easiest of the final status issues" and probably the first that negotiators will tackle, but that doesn't mean it's not complicated and sensitive, says Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the Palestine Center, a Washington think tank.
Israel's victory against attacking Arab armies in 1967 left it in control of the land west of the Jordan River and East Jerusalem, both of which had been occupied by the country of Jordan for 19 years.
Jews has largely disappeared from the territories during those years, but after the war Israel had a policy of encouraging citizens to return to what some refer to by the biblical names Judea and Samaria and to create communities for the purpose of increasing the buffer between Israel and its enemies. Many of these settlements have grown into small cities.
For many years the Palestinians have insisted that the entire West Bank should be given to them as an independent state. Israel has advocated land swaps, where some settlements in the West Bank are made part of Israel proper.
Before peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators resumed this week, Abbas told reporters in Cairo that Palestinians are negotiating for a future Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders but that some land may be exchanged.
"If there were and must be some kind of small exchange (of land) equal in size and value, we are ready to discuss this -- no more, no less," he said, according to Reuters.
He also said no Israeli citizens or military presence will remain in a future Palestinian state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israeli cities in the West Bank cannot be uprooted.
Nearly a half million Israelis now live on the Palestinian side of the Green Line, which divided Israel from what was Jordanian territory in 1967. And about a fifth of Israel's 8 million residents are Arab Israelis, some of whom live in villages that straddle the old border.
Israeli peace negotiators are likely to insist that Arab villages that straddle the Green Line "are all going to be on the table and part of the discussion," says Jonathan Schanzer, director of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Israeli leaders, who seek to maintain a Jewish democratic majority in Israel see the transfer of the Arab villages and their residents to a Palestinian state as a way to deal with "demographic issues Israelis have been struggling with," Schanzer said.
According to documents obtained by Al Jazeera, Israel's chief negotiator in the current talks, Tzipi Livni, demanded during a previous, failed, round of talks in 2008 that Palestinians deal on such villages.
"There are some Palestinian villages that are located on both sides of the 1967 line about which we need to have an answer," Livni said.
But Arab Israelis in those villages are unlikely to want to lose the economic and political benefits of living in a modern and democratic state with a first class economy, or the ties they've formed in Israel, Schanzer said.
The questions raised by any proposed settlement "are always going to be extremely difficult," Schanzer says.
Among them: Should Arabs who are now Israeli citizens have a choice to remain in Israel or to move? Should Israeli settlers in the West Bank, be allowed to stay and become Palestinians under protection of Palestinians law and authorities?
Financial incentives will help convince some West Bank settlers to move, but that will be hugely expensive, said David Makovsky, director of The Washington Institute's Project on the Middle East Peace Process.
Israel's 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, which involved the evacuation of 9,000 Israelis, cost about $1.7 billion, according to The Israel Project, a non-profit information service about Israel.
"This is a harder issue by order of magnitude than what happened in the Gaza Strip," Makovsky said.
Makovsky estimates that 80% of West Bank settlers are concentrated on 4.73% of Palestinian land in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Among the 70,000 to 100,000 settlers in areas that would not become part of Israel there is an unknown fraction of hardliners who will likely resist being forcibly moved, Makovsky said.
Scenes of fierce Jewish resistance during the 2005 evacuation from the Gaza Strip are likely mild in comparison to what could happen in the West Bank, which many religious settlers revere for its ancient ties to the Jewish people.
"These might be the most ideological settlers left behind and the combustion of that with some militant Palestinians who want to engage in score settling might create a veritable minefield and might end up sucking the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) back into the very land it had vacated," Makovsky said.

When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over
August 13, 2012
By Jim Karger
When they come for my gun, they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands, is a common refrain I often hear from the Neo-Cons when there is a threat, credible or otherwise, that the US government is going to take their firearms.
And, when I hear this crazy talk, I agree with them openly. You are right. They will pry your gun from your cold dead hands, which I often follow with the question, And where will that leave you except face down in a pool of your own blood [in] the middle of the street, just another dead fool resisting the State?
This is not a question they are comfortable with, if only because the intent of their saber-rattling was to imply they would fight to keep their weapons, and win.
Nice fantasy. Its not happening.
If the federal government decides to disarm the public, and when the increasingly-militarized rolls down your street after a not-so-subtle request that you kindly turn over your firearms and ammunition for the common good, it will be nothing less than suicide by cop to do anything other than what you are told.
The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available to the general public.
And, it is not just your hometown cops who are getting new boy-toys. The military itself is buying up weaponry not just for use in the current or next scheduled war, but to deal with the likes of you, citizens who dont seem to understand that the Bill of Rights has been overruled, and that specifically includes, but is not limited to, the right to protest and engage in civil disobedience.
Also ignored (as if it didnt even exist) is the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 which generally bars the military from law enforcement activities within the United States.
According to Public Intelligence:
for the last two years, the Presidents Budget Submissions for the Department of Defense have included purchases of a significant amount of combat equipment, including armored vehicles, helicopters and even artillery, under an obscure section of the FY2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for the purposes of homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. Items purchased under the section include combat vehicles, tanks, helicopters, artillery, mortar systems, missiles, small arms and communications equipment. Justifications for the budget items indicate that many of the purchases are part of routine resupply and maintenance, yet in each case the procurement is cited as being necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities under section 1815 of the FY 2008 NDAA.
And, they are not just arming cops and weekend warriors for domestic purposes. Active duty Marines are now being trained for law enforcement operations all over the world (of which the US remains a part) specifically to deal with civil uprisings, and the US government knows that civil uprisings are coming to a town near you just as soon as the fantasy of a healing economy is shattered, the US dollar fails, and unemployment goes to 30%+ in real numbers.
And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it. You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons and the best body armor you cannot buy protected by armed personnel carriers and attack helicopters unless you choose to die that day for nothing. You will either be in the country or out, and if you are in, you will stay in and you will comply.
That is your choice
for the moment.
Millions of us already have thousands of rounds of ammo EACH.
This is about a jillion times more than the IRA had in their entire inventory during The Troubles, and ammo shortages didn't put them out of business, did they?
There are a lot of people who have more ammo than just "11 rounds left from a box of 20 that they bought three years ago".
Why not fight? When the State comes after your arms, you are not just losing your constitutional right to keep and bear arms, you have, at that point lost every right you ever had.If the government we have comes to that, you will be labeled as a dissident anyway, and will be executed at some point, anyway.
Our military is the sons and daughters of Patriots. Not the sons and daughters of liberals, who loathe the military. I have nephews in the military, right now. Want real trouble? order them to go arrest or shoot at their kin. Sure, there are some there, even upper level commanders who would have no problem killing civilians if it meant a political boost. Believe me ,those are a tiny minority.
"poll results"
For active duty Marines that is a useless tool. No Marine would ever give a straight answer to thatntype of question. The answers they give will always be the one they think they are expected to give. Poll in general are useless tools. They are rarely accurate about any subject.
Just remember to take it with you when you go to work, or plan on going home (very late) and discovering it's gone. And in its place, a whole mile of yellow tape.

As if the other side would suffer no losses and wonder what they're doing it for.
The Waco assault stopped quick when 4 of theirs dropped early on. That a massive standoff ensued hinged on unlimited forces surrounding a tiny compound protecting the weak.
Bullies tend to stop quick in the face of viable opposition.
They are going to use DHS, not the military. Remember, O wanted a domestic force with as much military equipment as the military. The DoD is buying arms with their budget for the DHS, IMO.
Right — no serious patriot has less than 500 rds in stock.
ping for later
12 years old and still relevant. Maybe more so today that in 2000 when it was written...
Whatever you have will be removed with laparoscopic finesse. If the govt had a sense of humor, the yellow tape would not read "DO NOT CROSS" — it would say "DON'T TREAD ON ME."
Or it might read "MOLON LABE." But I think Child Protective Services have dibs on that one.
Some might disagree with me on this but they might first want to examine it from a two thousand year historical perspective.
I would claim that a push for gun control comes from the elite and those of great wealth and power. I don't see it as liberal versus conservative, as much as ensuring security for those of privilege.
I say that only because throughout history those of great power and wealth frowned on little people possessing swords and arms. They purposely kept them disarmed so that they would never represent a threat to their power. They were called serfs for a reason, and it was to make sure they stayed serfs.
Those organizations who support gun control typically represent the higher echelons of elitist privilege and wealth.
As George Washington said: "The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
Washington understood that diverse armed Americans at all strata of society will have a much needed political clout that is above the Parties and politicians. In other words it will keep the politicians and their powerful rich supporters from ever thinking they can plunder us at will.
Your analysis is correct, IMO, it will be slow. Transfers are already highly-regulated in the Dem states, and will become more so. Ammo regulations will start to come. Attempts to register guns will be introduced, and that is where the line must be drawn.
"What will they do?"
They will arrest and hold you until that rifle is found. Their orders are to fetch that rifle or fetch you. Period. They will do that. Logic be damned. This won't be a civil court matter where you get to present logical arguments. This will be war.
BTW, I finally made the jump into the Kindle age and am re-reading the digital versions of the "Enemies" trilogy. I am amazed, and chilled, by how prescient those books were.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that was written.
"It is called reprisals among other things"
They don't see it that way. No one is doing those things now, and they feel like they would be in absolute control to prevent such things. To be a liberal is to be very, very dumb, delusional, and live in a fantasy world where there are no consequences.
This is a part of a discussion I've had many times. The difference between them and us, is that they are ready, willing and able to use lethal force at the drop of a hat, and not think twice about it. We, on the other hand, are reluctant to employ the proper response. Until that changes, they'll keep pushing.
It is hard to know exactly what one would do when confronted by officers of the government.
When I was young and had a family depending on me, I probably would have secured a few where only I knew where they were then would have turned over what was in the house.
Now I am getting on in years and have no one depending on me, I just might oppose them. Even then it would not be an open confrontation but I would try to be as sneaky as possible and trade my life dearly.
I know some people who would simply fight it out with them. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that my late Father would have just shot it out with them. I have seen him before just open up on a criminal who had stolen his medication and was driving away.
I wonder and suspect that it was because he had been in combat. It probably changed him a bit. Then again it might have just been in his nature. His Father had shot and killed a guy in an open gunfight. Grandpa was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 20 years. Fortunately the governor gave him a full pardon after he had been in Raiford only a year.
Right now, the Federal Government is funding hardened security facilities all over the Country. They are preparing to deploy observation drones over America. These drones are capable of more than mere observation. New York City is instituting a camera observation system to survey civilians. They have a stop and frisk program which allows the police to search any citizen going about their legitimate daily business.
Additionally we hear of more and more high tech weaponry being invented out of all proportion to kind of threats Islamic terrorists pose - for use against WHOM?
They won't have to pry those guns from your cold dead fingers.
They will have the ability to deploy clouds of gases which make you so nauseous you will be incapable of functioning, or high pitch sounds that will cause such pain you won't be able to respond, or adhesive materials which will totally disable you. "Safe" handguns controlled by a computer chip? These too can be disabled from a distance with the proper equipment.
The increasing militarization of our law enforcement establishment is going on unabated. Police being trained in paramilitary courses at civilian run police academies all over the country. A mindset of "them" Varese's "us" does in fact create a class of "New Centurions".
When you reflect upon the fact that NO ONE in the current administration is targeting Muslims as terrorists - NOR HAD ITS PREDECESSOR ADMINISTRATION, but has no problem identifying conservative political groups as objects of attention, is MORE than enough cause for alarm.
This is what George Bush's mindless War on Terror has come to in the hands of an extra-constitutional Marxist. And even if Obama IS defeated, will ANY of his successors have the Courage to DISMANTLE the Military/law enforcement complex we have allowed to grow in our midst? Will not ANOTHER Obama come along in the near future? Even if we DO win THIS TIME, it will be a close thing.
At the fall of the Roman Republic, history witnessed a change in the military thinking of the average Roman soldier. Instead of looking to the State for leadership, he increasingly turned to military strongmen. At the same time these military strongmen began recruiting non-citizens into the legions, people to whom the entire civilian structure of Roman government was an alien concept to which they owed no allegiance.
We are witnessing much the same thing today. The Obama Administration, with his Dream Act, is throwing open the ranks of the American military to more and more foreigners whose loyalty will be to him alone and not the American Constitution.
Never before has America and the progressive evolution of western culture and civilization been in such dire peril.
REAL Freedom, from an historical viewpoint, is such a FRAGILE and EPHEMERAL thing.
And, if 1984 becomes a reality here in America, we will have no one to blame but ourselves for our lethargy and apathy and failure to foresee those consequences of our indolence.
If the time comes to bury your guns it is already time to dig them up.
If the records show you do, they'll likely kill you where you stand, or drag you off to the gulag. Either one takes you out. It's a good idea to have something to give them, so you can plot retaliation later, and more effectively.
For the first few, or first few hundred, you're 100% correct.
Eventually, though, they will start running into people who ... anticipated ... their arrival.
Hear, hear! Well said.
Look for it. With a warrant.
And when you clean up the huge mess and repair/replace the prolific breakage consequential to them examining every conceivable nook and cranny it could possibly be hidden in, including the digging up the entire yard, you'll be disinclined to pursue that bluff again. ...and that's assuming they didn't find it.
Well, you've got the tough key typing and bravado down. Hope you make it to the other side.
We live in an age of instant widespread communication.
The news WILL get out. Fast.
The conflict will be against the federal government. And how many federal employees will report to work after their neighbors tell them that being employed by the federal government, in any capacity, will be considered a hostile act by their neighbors?
It won't just be against the Federal government. Don't be naive. Looks at your states budget...where do you think they are going to get the money to pay the bloated state pensions and other unfunded liabilities?
Yet our experiences fighting those kinds of wars are getting us skills that could also be used at home. Hell, I'd LIKE to see'em used against the baby seal protesters (i.e., the protesters who should be clubbed like baby seals), and the illegal international narcoterrorists.
11 is more than enough.
Let's hope those people, whom you expect to react eventually, know other tricks besides reacting. Because letting your opponent pick the time to start trouble, is not generally seen as intelligent policy.
"They only way they can do that as they did over in Great Britain incrementally."
In many ways they already have. They have you right where they want you:
1. They have propagandized this issue to the point not many more would agree with them, so with half the country being for a gun ban, that's the most they can expect, but half is enough.
2. They needed a gun registration scheme and have several; not of WHAT you own but that you DO own. That Form 4473 you signed and that NICS check they did is all they need to know about you: You have guns.
3. Control over the financial system: If you have a gun according to their records and do not turn it in to their satisfaction then they turn off your financial ability; no checking account, no retirement accounts, no payroll, no further mortgage, etc. They can effectively take everything.
4. By law, they can turn off ammunition sales overnight.
5. By law, they can outlaw all kinds of firearms and parts overnight.
6. The fed owns most lands used for hunting: Goodbye hunting permits and total enforcement.
7. Control over the utilities is how the Soviet Union kept towns and populations in check: Gee, your electricity went off. You folks have a bigger problem than that pesky gun control issue. Cooperate with the federal authority or else. They do this today to the States: Make drunk driving 0.08 or else no federal funding. Make seatbelt laws or else no federal funding. Make Sally has Two Mommies in elementary school or else no federal funding.
Simply put: Anyone concerned about this had best get ready real soon to accept the fact that there may not be any more firearms, magazine, or ammo for sales.
And how many freepers were cheering when the legislation that enables this was passed under Bush? Lots. Too stupid to realize that what can be used against one group can be used against any group. The same freepers are still police cheerleaders today not realizing that the police are there to do the will of the government. If the will of the government is to disarm the citizens the police will be there doing it. Don't look for "Blue Flu" for anything except a pay cut or a benefits cut.
"or plan on going home (very late) and discovering its gone. And in its place, a whole mile of yellow tape."
You act as though "they" can get to everyone in one day.
Only Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and the Great Pumpkin have demonstrated that ability.
Let's not forget the two DHS RFP's for ammo this year. The first for 450 million rounds, and the second for 750 million rounds. If fully executed, ammo is going to be expensive and difficult to find. Time to stock up on reloading supplies.
"You really think US Marines will fire on US Citizens defending their Constitutional Rights?
I'd say today it depends on the Marine.
The traditional soldier is being driven out. The efforts to put more women in command positions and the allowance of open homosexuality are there not just to placate certain groups. These policies are meant to discourage the entry into the military of conservatives."
For a newbie, what took you so long to get here? Your comment is clearly a part of bo's plan to subjugate and take down free America. Keep up the good posts and welcome.
"Right no serious patriot has less than 500 rds in stock."
That's not even a half day at the range.
Sounds like a plan.
How far down the road should they get before the thermite in the shotgun barrels lights up?
In my part of the Union, the Federal kapos are not in a position of authority over even its' own employees.
The order may be given but it's unlikely to ever make the light of day. Although, on the same day, they're will be a breaking news segment where said kapos commit suicide en masse.
What if they have trouble getting a warrant because the the "judge" that signed their rubber stamp warrents for your neighbors suddenly dissapears and other judges aren't quite so eager to meet the same fate? What happens when the body of the officer that gave these orders to his command is found with ample evidence of citizens displeasure. neo-gestapo comes home only to find his family missing because they feared for their lives? That sure is a nice house you scrimped and saved to buy officer...sure would be a shame if something happened to it. The point is that they wouldn't be magically immune from the consequences of their actions and it shows historical blindness to think that Americans would just roll over.
"Eventually, though, they will start running into people who ... anticipated ... their arrival."
I like your way of thinking. I have a new tagline.
Hiring more IRS all the time, buying ammo in great quantities, getting a firmer grip on the power grid and the internet...so, why do you think the govt has to do it all in one day? Without your internet connection, how would you even hear about a roundup in 24 hours?
"Let's hope those people, whom you expect to react eventually, know other tricks besides reacting."
There are over 80,000 active duty special operator types in this country right ow and I'd expect there are over a million that are prior specops, from SEALs, CIA, NSA, DEA, Rangers, Army Special Forces, DOE, Marines, Air Force specops, etc. There are no shortages of dirty tricks operators sitting around.
"how would you even hear about a roundup in 24 hours?"
That's my little secret, but I have far more than the Internet to rely on.
Anyone taking a gun can be counted on to check that the weapon is clear. I'd say the buttstock won't be though.
I was answering the "what will they do?" question.
"What will you then do?" is...up to you. I trust you will see to it law and order is maintained, perhaps thru example of what happens when it isn't.

Introducing: The Mario Lemieux Hat-Trick
Danny Gray
February 01 2012 08:39AM
Sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Hockey is a team sport in almost every way. There are really only two individual accolades a player can accomplish in a given game: scoring a hat-trick or getting a shutout. While impressive, these feats are common enough that they are never the lead story on Sportscentre, or front page news. I realized that there are no hockey equivalents of a no-hitter and a perfect game, or hitting for the cycle. So I decided to create one.
I started by firing up the player game finder at hockeyreference.com. If you've never used the player game finder at hockeyreference.com, say goodbye to the rest of your day. It allows you to search individual and multiple games, as well as seasons by almost any statistical parameters you can imagine. I was looking for an individual feat that was rare, but not so rare as to be impossible to achieve.
We all remember Mario Lemieux scoring 5 goals 5 ways (ES,PP,SH,Penalty shot, and EN) but that has only happened the one time, so it's out. 10 point s in a game is an NHL record held by only one man, Darryl Sittler, so that's no good. I put the question out there on Twitter and the responses echoed my initial attempts.
5 goals 5 ways is an impressive, but not a very repeatable feat. On the other hand, 3 goals: one scored at Even Strength, on the Power Play, and Shorthanded, is impressive and seemed like something that would be rare enough to mark a genuine achievement. So I searched hockey reference for players with games who matched those criteria.
Here is a link to the results.
- Since the 1987-88 season the feat has been accomplished 94 times by 75 different players.
- Only 12 players have accomplished it more than once in their careers. The most surprising player to do so, some guy named Tyler Wright.
- Brendan Shanahan and Brett Hull both managed it 3 times in the career.
- The last player to record one was Corey Perry on December 12, 2010.
- Current Leaf Matthew Lombardi has done it once in his career.
The feat needs a name, and I think it's fitting to name it after the player who accomplished it far more than any other. The above and beyond leader of the pack: Mario Lemieux with 7.
Thus, I give you The Mario Lemieux Hat-Trick.
Since this is an offensive accomplishment, it doesn't make sense to compare it to a no-hitter or perfect game, but mf37 offered an appropriate corollary on Twitter: "By my math, 87 players in MLB have hit for the cycle since 1987. Interesting that the NHL & MLB numbers are within 10%"
So there you have it, The Mario Lemieux Hat-Trick is the NHL equivalent of hitting for the cycle, let's make this a thing.
February 01 2012, 09:44AM
What a brilliant idea. Well done.
If you're looking for some NHL94 nostalgia, check out nhl94.com and forum.nhl94.com. You can even play the game updated to current teams and rosters, and join online leagues..
There are already several feats called a Mario Lemieux Hat Trick.
Mario Lemieux once accomplished what was unofficially referred to as a "Mario Lemieux hat trick" in 1993, by receiving radiation treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma the day of the game, and then scoring a goal and an assist that night against the Philadelphia Flyers.
He has also recorded a "5-goal hat trick" (or the "ultimate hat trick", or a "quintella", or "Lemieux Cycle") in which he scored in five possible game situations in one game, on 31 December 1988 against the New Jersey Devils. He scored on a powerplay, shorthanded, even strength, penalty shot and an empty net goal. Calgary Flames star Jarome Iginla came close on February 23, 2003 against the Phoenix Coyotes: he scored on a powerplay, shorthanded, even strength and an empty net goal, but Mario Lemieux is the only player to score the "Quintella" in NHL history.

Solaris Vista dual-boot : No problem !
By mrbenchmark on Sep 17, 2007
Summary of the operations :
1. The laptop had already Vista installed in C: (70G) with a D: partition (70G)
2. Using the Vista Disk Partitioner (default System tool in Vista Ultimate), I removed the D: partition
3. I downloaded Solaris Nevada build 72 and burned a DVD-R
4. I went in the Setup menu of the Ferrari 5000 and allowed boot only from the DVD
5. I booted Solaris b72 and chose the option (3) Terminal
6. I partition my disk to create a single Solaris partition with :
fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0
7. Reboot and installed Solaris. Installation was about 50 minutes.
8. Booted again from the DVD . Chose option (3)
9. Modified /a/boot/grub/menu.lst by adding :
title Windows Vista
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
10. Went back in the boot menu (F2) and re-enable disk booting.
11. Rebooted and verified that I could use Solaris & Vista.
12. Booted Solaris, installed SLAMD and the iGen benchmark suite
13. Ran the iGenCPU benchmark to compare the system to others. Got 27 fractals/second at 4 threads. Nice for a laptop !
Additional note : Wireless configuration is now very easy as the wificonfig tool is part of the Nevada distribution
The only thing needed is update_drv -a -i '"pciex168,1c"' ath . No reboot necessary.
Then you can do wificonfig -i ath0 plumb ; wificonfig -i ath0 scan
Final note : All the tricks that you can found in other blogs are now irrelevant as the MBR Solaris bug was bixed in build 70.

Chapter 35
God sends Jacob to Bethel, where he builds an altar and the Lord appears to him—God renews the promise that Jacob will be a great nation and that his name will be Israel—Jacob sets up an altar and pours a drink offering—Rachel bears Benjamin, dies in childbirth, and is buried near Bethlehem—Reuben sins with Bilhah—Isaac dies and is buried by Jacob and Esau.

Introductionshark, member of a group of almost exclusively marine and predaceous fishes. There are about 250 species of sharks, ranging from the 2-ft (60-cm) pygmy shark to 50-ft (15-m) giants. They are found in all seas, but are most abundant in warm waters. Some may enter large rivers, and one ferocious freshwater species lives in Lake Nicaragua. Most are predatory, but the largest species, the whale shark and the basking shark, are harmless plankton eaters. Dogfish is the name for members of several families of small sharks; these should not be confused with the bony dogfishes of the mud minnow and bowfin families. See also hammerhead shark and thresher shark.
Shark meat is nutritious and is used for human food. In Asian cuisines a prized gelatinous soup is made from the fins of certain species; many of the millions of sharks landed annually are taken just for the fins, and finning is now believed to threaten such species. The flesh is also sold for poultry feed, and shark oils are used in industry; shark-liver oil was formerly used as a source of vitamin A. The rough skin is used as a sandpaper called shagreen, and tanned sharkskin is a durable leather.

Huntington Elementary has received the "Utah's High Performing Title I School" recognition. This award is based on achieving Adequate Yearly Progress in both language arts and mathematics for the previous two years, being at or above the Utah state average on both of these tests on the most recent assessment, and a nomination by the superintendent.
Huntington Elementary wants to recognize everyone who was involved in helping them achieve this award; students, parents, volunteers, school faculty and staff. Huntington Elementary held a celebration in conjunction with parent-teacher-conferences to show appreciation for all of the hard work put into the school.
There were refreshments for everyone and prizes for all Huntington Elementary students. All of the students who participated made educational games they could take home with them to strengthen their skills at home.
Organizers said, "We hope to build a stronger school community, and strengthen the ties with home and school through this activity. We would like our students to recognize that hard work and dedication can bring about great accomplishments. This celebration was made possible through a generous grant from the Kiwanis and donations from the Huntington Elementary PTA."
The State Office of Education sent a certificate to Huntington Elementary for achieving this award. Karl A. Wilson is the director for federal and special programs and Ann G. White, Title I coordinator school and district improvement at the Utah State Office of Education. They sent a congratulatory letter to Huntington Elementary saying, "This recognition is provided to Utah Title I schools that are able to demonstrate high levels of student achievement. We hope that you will take the opportunity to share this recognition with your school community.
"For more than 30 years, the United States Congress has recognized that higher poverty schools face unique challenges in educating students. In response to this need, the federal government provides Title I grants to provide supplementary assistance to public schools that serve higher levels of low income families. Title I schools that are able to achieve levels of performance above the state average are to be commended for their success.
"The Utah State Office of Education appreciates the dedicated service of teachers and administrators who work hard with parents in achieving this high level of student performance. We wish you continued success in meeting the educational needs of Utah's students as they prepare for the future," said Wilson and White.
Tom Baltzer is the principal at Huntington Elementary. Huntington Elementary has 343 students.

SO many compliments, SO comfy
"I've had these shoes for a few months now.Every time I wear them I get tons of compliments. The color and style are odd and everlastingly lovely! I can (and have) worn for hours with no discomfort.My only issue was them being just a tad too big. I put a heal 'comfort' strip in the back and it corrected the slight slippage I was having. I have to make sure they are tied tight because they were having tendency to gap....Im sure these issues would have been corrected with going down a .5 size, but I wanted to wear them ASAP so was looking for a fix w/out returning/exchanging.Definitely buy; you will NOT regret. LOVE THESE DARLINGS!"

Douglas and His Legacy Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, Ill. Portrait by Matthew Brady, courtesy of the National Archives and Records Administration, PD. Today's guest blog post is by Matthew Irvine, a 2012-2013 Miller Center Ambassador and first year student at the University of Virginia majoring in Computer Science. Two hundred years ago today marks the birth of one of America's most prominent political leaders. Though Stephen A. Douglas was never elected President of the United States, he tried his hardest to ascend to the position. In the process, he served as a member of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate, championing causes like westward expansion and popular sovereignty. Although his legacy is sometimes eclipsed by that of his Illinois political rival Abraham Lincoln, Douglas was one of the most influential and powerful politicians of his day. Stephen A. Douglas's legacy began on April 23, 1813 when he was born in Brandon, Vermont, to parents Stephen Arnold Douglass and Sarah Fisk. Before entering into politics, Douglas held a variety of jobs. He worked on the farm where he grew up until he turned 15, at which point he became a cabinetmaker's apprentice. Quickly moving on, he relocated to New York, where he worked as a farmhand for three years. Yearning for a career in law but not wanting to spend the four years in school that New York required, Douglas ventured westward to the land of opportunity and self-made men and settled in Jacksonville, Illinois, where he quickly became a lawyer. As a citizen of Illinois, Douglas involved himself in politics almost immediately. Only about a year after coming to the state, he was appointed as a state prosecutor. Over the years he worked his way up through the political ranks, holding such positions as state legislator, state supreme court justice, U.S. Representative, and, eventually, U.S. Senator. From his time as a young man to his tenure in the United States Senate, Douglas was a dedicated Jacksonian Democrat, believing in such principles as limited government, westward expansion, and popular sovereignty. As a federal legislator, Douglas played a huge role in the pre-Civil War debate over the "peculiar institution" of slavery. When Douglas joined the Senate, the United States has just acquired vast new territory in the Mexican-American War, and faced the question of how to deal with slavery in the new land. Confronted with a Southern secessionist movement and the first national debate over slavery in decades, the freshman Senator worked closely with Henry Clay to broker the Compromise of 1950. With this compromise, Douglas was able to implement in New Mexico and Utah what remained a key position of his throughout his career: popular sovereignty. This was a policy that he advocated several years later in the Kansas-Nebraska Act, when he argued that citizens in Kansas and Nebraska should be able to choose for themselves whether to accept slavery or not. What Douglas saw as encouraging western settlement and removing the divisive issue of slavery from national politics, however, others saw as a blatant attempt to expand slavery. Douglas is, perhaps, most remembered for his famous debates with Abraham Lincoln and his aspirations for the presidency. In his 1858 campaign to retain his Senate seat, Douglas faced a challenge from Republican Abraham Lincoln. The two agreed to a series of debates, one in each congressional district of Illinois. Given the state of national politics at the time, the debates naturally focused on the issue of slavery. Through the course of the debates, Douglas defended his support of the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, speaking in favor of the idea of popular sovereignty. Lincoln, on the other hand, saw Douglas's policies as nationalizing slavery rather than removing them from the national debate. Although Lincoln failed to convince the Illinois legislature to elect him to the Senate over Douglas, it may have been Douglas who suffered the most from the debates. At a debate in Freeport, Illinois, Lincoln trapped Douglas by asking him how his theory of popular sovereignty could fit with the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott, where it had ruled that the federal government could not exclude slavery from the territories. Douglas's response established the Freeport Doctrine, which said that any territory could prevent slavery by failing to pass laws favorable to the institution. While Douglas had believed that popular sovereignty would be seen as a great compromise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery ideals, the effect of Lincoln's trap was to make Douglas less appealing to Southern Democrats who supported slavery as well as to Northerners who took a strong anti-slavery stance. Douglas hoped that the compromise that won him his Senate seat in Illinois would win him the presidency in 1860, but it only served to ensure that neither those who supported slavery nor those who opposed it looked favorably upon him. Even though Douglas never ascended to the presidency, he still had a long and successful career as a powerful and influential Jacksonian Democrat.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
It is not very common to see something like this.
If there was one concern I had about Guild Wars 2 when I initially reviewed it in September 2012, it was the future. An MMO lives or dies by its updates, and since ArenaNet chose a non-subscription model for its game, it theoretically had less reason to provide consistent, free content updates.
I'm happy to report that if that temptation existed, Guild Wars 2 has dodged it completely. While the game had big updates monthly from the start, beginning in April of 2013 ArenaNet launched an ambitious plan to provide meaningful new content every two weeks for free. It sounded unbelievable — it still does! — but it has been pulled off almost flawlessly.
While Guild Wars 2's population has fluctuated, the mix of constant new content and no subscription fee has made it easier for players to jump back in whenever they feel like. And the additions to the game are, by and large, very good — whether it's wacky platforming challenges like the April Fools Day-themed Super Adventure Box or serious ongoing stories like the saga of the villainous Scarlet Briar and her effects on the whole world."

Great review. By far the best MMORPG I have played, and the one I have enjoyed the most since Pre-NGE SWG.
Guild Wars 2 is one of the only games where other players are not an annoyance or a distraction. It's not a perfect game, not by a long shot but I really enjoy it. It's just sad to see so many misconceptions thrown around. People who don't really explore the underlying layers of the variety of builds you can do that are effective are missing out a lot of what makes it great.
Similiarly, WvW is not a fun experience if you are not playing with some good guys. If you play on a server and you just get whopped, you need to change to a place with more passionate commanders. Not all the servers care about WvW and that hurts it a lot.
My big MMO grip is with dungeons and raids. Instanced encounters like this have little to do with what MMOs should be about. That's just my opinion. I dont get the living breathing world feeling from this. I find Fractals of the Mists Dungeons like a good challenge, but I dont enjoy the 10 dungeons (or any of the 30 so dungeon paths) very entertaining. But thats the whole genre thing.
On the other hand I find the mega world bosses like teq and wurm more fun than any raids I have done in other games. But again.. its only as fun as the people you are playing with. People really are not going to have fun if they dont find time to find the right people to play with, and that aint always easy, but its possible. Once a 300 man effort to take down Teq has been achieved. Feels pretty damn great!
I agree with Polygon on this. The latest patch surely fired it up. Megaservers is the perfect match for a game like Guild Wars 2, and the wardrobe is fantastic. GW2 is a skin collecting game. It really is. It's not about stats like WoW, so it's fair to say the wardrobe is a big deal.
This game is the best in the genre by far. I'm playing since release and didn't even take a break once. Great job ArenaNet. Please keep up the good work...
Gw2 really deserves it.
Its not perfect by a long shot, bt its best out there.
I couldn't agree more. GW2 has now surpassed FFXI as my second most played MMO of all time. It's core foundation of awesome features, beautiful world, and downright fun gameplay in conjunction with the frequent updates - which have come in all shapes and sizes, including many types of content that I never even imagined experiencing in an MMO setting - have kept me returning to this game over and over again since its release 20 months ago.
Also agree, should of replied here before starting my own thread about how GW2 has improved. When you try out all the newer MMO's , you start to realize how good GW2 is.
The new April 15th patch has been outstanding for the game.
Anyway, I started a thread praising GW2 just a bit ago, so i'll stop now lol.
Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz? Start here: Guild Wars 2 Mass Info for the Uninitiated
Gw2 fan here.
my new opinion is that combat and abilities are stale, as is pve content... Character builds in this game are far worse than wow and company. They promised large weapon skill additions and new weapons in 2013 and have failed to deliver.
its still a good game, but no variety or sustain after you have played for a month or so at max level.

I just can't get into it. I have one build for my mesmer and I can't seem to set up another that works.
I log in, do a heart quest, and wonder what I'm doing. I zone to WvW, and I randomly run around until I get zerged by an enemy group.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but this game feels even more bland now than it did at release.
I feel like it has potential, but I think I'm just doing it wrong.

i take it this means they played TESO, screamed like small children at the madness, and then ran back to the waiting arms of a solidly playable game like GW2.
Yeah... no. I've played both (GW2 extensively from launch). GW2 is a solid game and a lot of fun, but it's a very different game than TESO. TESO is fantastic, but in a diamond-in-the-rough kind of way. Time will tell if they go with it and build it into the game it should be eventually (mostly talking about endgame here - despite bugs, the PvE leveling experience is fantastic imho).
The real issue that I ran into with GW2 is the post level cap progression. A lot of people in the game like it the way it is, though in the end, I've found it to be quite static, like a poster above commented. Ascended gear gives a bit of progression, but in the end, chasing new skins for your character can only be so rewarding.
I'd love to see them add some new skills and weapons to each class, I think that would breathe some life into things. As it is, I think the living story just isn't enough to keep the game interesting. But if that's your thing and you're enjoying the game enough, power to you! That's cool.

GW2 is very old school in a sense, because it's as good as the people you're playing with/around. You don't need to be grouped to advance or do content, but you really need to find a guild, and some people to play with in the open world, wvw and spvp.
In games like WoW and SWTOR you get a rewarding solo experience. You can play and be entertained by the story and quests without joining a guild or anything. In Guild Wars 2 you have hearts, but hearts are really nothing. They are there to novice players who can't find any dynamic events, but really they are not a means to complete or do anything.
The meat of GW2 is running around and exploring, almost aimlessly, taking it all in, going off the beaten path and do the events that starts around the world. You can travel between the lands of each races progression and explore. But doing the hearts are really doing it wrong. Nothing wrong with doing them, but doing them to advance is tortuous and not fun. Unfortunately some people think they are GW2s quests, which is not the case at all.
You really need to find some cool people to play with. This online game begs for it. Even if you wanna run around solo, it's a dangerous world and you need savages. when you run around in WvW alone, you meet thiefs and other solo-guys who build their characters just to destroy people 1-on-1. The trade off is always that they do worse in groups or in support.
Mesmer is a great class, and it changes depending on what you do with it. Check out Brazils Mesmer guide updated for this feature patch:
My advice is to explore all the newbie zones, and do the events and explore. Try and see if you can get 100% if you want to. Focus only on the hearts if you want to, but try and find the PoIs and Vistas and skill points.

A residential treatment center for girls that is proposed to be opened in Ferron has the entire town talking. At the Ferron planning and zoning commission meeting on Feb. 19, many residents were talking to the commission.
Pine Meadows is proposed to be a treatment center for teenage girls to be located on South State Street. The facility will be a center for schooling and therapy for girls with behavioral problems and will have 24-7 supervision. Many Ferron residents are caught up in ideas of the potential for problems with girls running away from the center and causing problems in the town.
In 2007, Charlotte Williams, of Orangeville, applied for a business license at a planning and zoning meeting. This license application could not be reviewed or granted due to the fact that a quorum was not present at the meeting. Williams then went to the Ferron City Council and they approved the license on the condition the planning and zoning commission approved it according to the zoning regulations.
From that time to the present, members of the planning and zoning commission have been researching and conferring with the city's attorney, Richard Chamberlain. Commission member Jerry Stotler said there is no zone in the city that would allow a facility of this kind. "I have also become aware of many other zoning violations existing in Ferron," Stotler stated.
Ferron resident Rod Moore stated many letters from private citizens have been turned into the commission with their feelings about the proposed center. The majority of the commission has reviewed those letters. A letter from the Emery County Sheriff's Office has also been received.
Another Ferron resident asked the commission if both sides of the issue have been researched extensively. Commission chairman, Dennis Worwood, answered a resounding yes to the question. Stotler also stated he has been thoroughly reading and analyzing everything he can find in Ferron's ordinances, on the internet, and in Ferron and state codes. "I have read everything that anyone has brought to me," added Stotler.
Williams addressed the commission with a statement concerning Utah Code. She explained when a land use applicant makes an application and that city's ordinances do not specifically disallow a use, some concession must be made to allow for that particular use. "I am not asking you to change your zoning, I just need a land use permit. I don't want to make anyone's life miserable. I feel this can be a good, positive thing for Ferron," said Williams.
Ferron resident Mike Behling said, "In the best interest of Ferron, the commission should weigh this decision carefully. We all live here for our own personal reasons. Change is inevitable and you can control that change. This is a residential/agricultural community. Your decision should be in the best interest of the residents of Ferron."
Stotler said, "Many people in this town have been playing the telephone game. The result is, after a few interpretations, they are operating on misinformation. Most people are misinformed about the facts in this case. This decision cannot be made on emotions."
Worwood reminded everyone of the planning and zoning commission's responsibility. "We are only an advisory committee to the city council. We advise them of the zoning regulations and make our recommendations. They will make the final decision," he said.
Jim Jennings, who oversees licensing in the state office of the Division of Child and Family Services said that a facility such as this proposed residential treatment center would be inspected at least three times a year. He added, if a city felt the need, an independent person could be trained to do the inspections on a more frequent basis.
Ronny Bloomer, who is a Ferron City councilman and also sits on the planning and zoning commission, made a statement. "This entire situation has turned into a big mess. There have been too many rumors and too much misinformation concerning this issue. It was reported that a resident referred to the girls as 'toxic waste.' That statement was never made. The resident simply said 'What will we do next, put a nuclear waste site in?' He did not call the children toxic waste. We need to go back to step one with this issue and start over without all the rumors and talk. This is a zoning ordinance issue and we need to set the feelings aside and focus on the laws and zoning."
Worwood thanked everyone for their comments and asked for a motion on the matter of issuing a business license for the treatment facility. Stotler moved to deny the business license at this time due to the zoning restrictions, and this was approved by the commission. He then moved to recommend the city council look at the possibility of changes to the ordinances to allow this type of facility. The commission approved this action.
In another action by the Ferron planning and zoning commission, it was approved to suggest to the city council to amend the zoning along Molen Road, which is zoned RA-1, and add a sub section, RA-2, to accommodate the smallest lot that currently has a house.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
^ Yeah agreed, Surprised at how much better than the manga the dragon looked + the fight was.
There are more things in heaven and earth then is dreamt of in your philosophy
I like the ep overall, but they should dial down a little on the ussop acting scared part...
Loved it in the previous episode, being scared of the island and such i can live with, but this time it kinda annoyed me a little :/
I don't mind him getting scared, since that's pretty much Ussop's thing, though they overdid it just a tad this time (in the anime)
Sure it's a dragon, but he has Luffy and zoro with him... so yeah =/

Angela Mathers is obsessed with visions of angels, supernatural creatures who haunt her thoughts by day and seduce her dreams by night. Released from a mental institution, she hopes her new university, West Wood Academy, will give her the chance at a normal life.
But such is not to be. . . . For a secret coven plots within West Wood, and demons and angels alike walk the streets of Luz, searching for the key to open Raziel's book a secret tome from a lost archangel. Some wish to destroy Raziel, others, like the Supernal Israfel, one of the highest of the high, to free him. For when the Archon rises as foretold, they will control the supernatural universe.
Torn between mortal love and angelic obsession, Angela holds the key to both Heaven and Hell, and both will stop at nothing to possess her. . . .
"These angels can be vindictive and cruel, more human than you might expect and oozing supernatural abilities…. If you think you have the guts to take on this novel pick it up."
-Boulder Examiner
"A dark, bold story."
-Lexington Literature Examiner
"With the first installment in her trilogy, Benulis uses lush descriptions and larger than life characters to tell the story of a battle between Heaven and Hell… I will definitely be on the lookout for the next installment in her book of Raziel series."
-Suspense Magazine
"Angela is someone I would want to be friends with, someone I would want to have in my corner. She's out of her mind, a little, but honestly – who isn't?"
-Fictional Distraction
"Forget what you think you know and allow the book to show you a new vision of angels and demons. It's a terrifying one, but extremely interesting."
-Sci-Fi Fan Letter
"Even when I wasn't reading, I felt a little like I had one foot in the book and the other in reality."
-Literary Feline
"This plot is original in every way, and it resembles nothing that I have ever read before."
-The Wilkes Beacon
"In this fascinating, well written first novel, Sabrina Benulis has created a world where it's hard to tell the demons and angels apart. Be prepared to read this one in one sitting because it's one of those rare novels that grabs you and doesn't let go."
-The Baryon Review

Sounds Of Simon/Simon Country, CD (£11.50)
Joe Simon goes country for these back to back albums on CD. It is not in fact that much of a jump from the soft soul of Joe Simon to the country version. There is a history of black country music from Arthur Alexander to Charlie Pride and Joe Simon slots nicely into this lineage. Credits include Scotty More (engineering) Jack Clements of Sun Records fame and songs from Kris Kristofferson (yes that one), Marty Robbins, Joe South, Bobby Bare and Billy Sherrill. Superb Nashville production and great performances from Simon make for a welcome reissue of these original albums, cut in '71 and'73 respectively.

This spring, expect to see stylish people not only rocking colored jeans, but pastel snakeskin print jeans, thanks to TEXTILE Elizabeth & James. The denim-driven brand offshoot of the more runway-friendly Elizabeth & James fashion label is daring fashionistas to go boldly beyond solid neons (check out their pre-Spring neon capsule collection at Shopbop) and basic five-pocket jeans. Fancy a psychedelic kaleidoscope print? Last season's nod to the '70s continues somewhat; however, the collection has a larger '80s fashion presence: skinny ankle jeans, pastel denim and a boyish denim overall. If you're still in love with their bell bottom jeans, TEXTILE will have a juicier version to appease you. Check out the lookbook and take it all in.
