The Nature of Christ
In His Presence: You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him (Romans 8:9).
As Christians, we are limited by our capacity as human beings. Even though Jesus has obtained the victory for us, we are still living in our broken, sinful bodies, and we cannot completely conform to the divine standard until we get to heaven.
One Minute Please
We all enter the world in the same state: dead in our sins. Only the power of Christ can give us life and change our hearts to look like His.

Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:
• What makes Christ unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord
• What was accomplished on the cross for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us
• What is the power of the cross and the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more
The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your life? It gained more for you than you may realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it. As a thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll get this brand new book, The Power of the Cross, out to you right away.

tomloaf started following Toyota Avensis Wing Mirror
Hi I know this is not a ford but hope someone might be able to help I am trying to get a wing mirror assembly for my father in laws Toyota Avensis. I have the registration number but sadly it is an 03 plate so could be one of tow types. Doe anyone know how I can find out which one I will need. Also the sites I have look at for the mirrors online mentions 3 or 5 pin connections. I don't know which he has but I do know it isn't a heated mirror. Does anyone know if this is a 3 or 5 pin connector. Any help would be great. Regards Tom
HI I have a MK1 ford focus with a slight issue. Sometimes the accelerator goes crazy. It has only happened about three times once about a year ago and twice in the last month. While driving along it starts to accelerate without my foot on the pedal. When I put the clutch down it revs as if I have my food on the accelerator up tot about 4-5k. It happens for a little bit a stays even if the car is turned on and off but then goes after a little bit. As it is an intermittent fault it is hard to know if I have found the true problem. The cable is fine and the think the TPS sensor is fine as I took that out and put a multi meter across it and it seems ok. I have read it might be the 02 sensor. But I obviously don't want to replace things needlessly Any help would be great Thanks Tom
tomloaf started following Ford Focus Mk1 Over Reving Intermittent Problem
Hi I have a 2001 for focus zetec.I noticed toniht that it had one dim head light. the main beams are alright but the drivers side headlight it dim when dipped. I assumed this woudn't be a bulp as they either work or are gone. Anyone got any ideas what it might be? Thanks Tom
tomloaf started following Dim Head Light
I do want something cheap to insure as you say but I also want it a regular starter an a new car. I would go with the 1.25 but as said they are like hens teeth where I am. I would rather spend a bit more and have the car for longer rather than replace it every few years.
I have bee told by this friend that the parts are heard to come by and thought someone might have some experience
tomloaf started following 1.4 Or 1.25 Fiesta?
I am looking for a car for my wife a small run about. So after talking with a friend he recommended the 1.25 fiesta 5dr. As it turned out these are like hens teeth around me at my price bracket. My friend was told by another friend to stay away from the 1.4 as parts are a murder to get and a lot more expensive. Have other people found this? regards Tom
any other options?
I think I have convinced my wife that a petrol car is ok and think the 1.25lt fiesta will be a good one. The issue she had when driving my focus is she felt the pedals where too high as she is quite a small lady and cant rest her heel on the floor. Can you lower car pedals so she can rest her heal on the floor and still work the pedalsor get longer pedal fitted?

tomloaf started following Small Car For My Wife
Hi My wife has just passed her driving test and I am looking at getting her a used small runabout. I have a focues and have had for years and am really happy with it but I was thinking of getting her a fiesta probably about 5 years old but getting a diesel because of the fuel costs at the moments. I know the zetec petrol engine I have is great but I have been told some bad things about the diesel version anyone got any experience with them or have any other car recommendations. I was thinking something either 3 or 5 door with a 1.2 or 1.4lt engine. It needs to be reliable safe nothing fancy. Regards
I have taken it back and they say its a manufacturers fault with the back box and will fix it for free. I will get it fixed but this sounds like a lie to me anyone heard about this before? tom
could it possible be noise from the engine if so could it be a problem or just noise it seems to mainly be noisy inside the car as i drive is a mid pitch drown when steadt at bout 3000 rev when doing 70mph any help? tom
Hi I have a 1.8 petrol 2000 reg ford focus estate. When I drive along my exhaust seems really loud and when I get to approximately 3000 revs it seem worryingly loud. At lover revs it seems normally. I thought this might be because of a hole in the exhaust. So got that fix as there was a hole but this made no difference. Any ideas Was I conned with the exhaust. Can I get them to give me my money back if this was not the problem as it was a Kwik Fit? Thanks Tom

i had a typical asian rhinoplasty.i had a very short nose and upturned snout like nose with upturned tip. its been about 4 weeks since ive had my surgery ad ive been taping my nose following his directions. however, my tip is still upturned right now because of swelling and the goal was to try to get my tip to drop after surgery, so why is my surgeon asking me to tape my nose UP? isnt that going to make things worse? shouldnt i be taping it DOWN to mold it down, or not even take the base at all
Taping the Nose After Asian Rhinoplasty - How to Do It?
Doctor Answers 5
In general taping helps to efface the nasal skin envelope back down on the underlying nasal framework. Start at the top of the bridge and work your way down with overlapping pieces of tape until you reach the tip. Your surgeon may instruct you otherwise if there is a specific issue he/she is trying to address.
Web reference: http://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.com/consultations/media/articles/index.htm
Your tip will continue to drop through the healing process, as the edema (swelling) resolves. Especially for Asian skin, this can be a lengthy process. Typically taping is performed from the top down. If your surgeon asks you to do something you don't understand you should always feel comfortable asking him/her to explain.
It does not sound logical to tape a nose "up" after rhinoplasty if you want to lengthen the nose. I doubt taping will change tip position 4 weeks after surgery. However, I cannot second guess your surgeon - - ask the physician you trusted to refine your nose.

Swelling can make the nose appear more upturned than it actually is. Tape can also be used to diminish swelling by controlling edema. This may be the intent of your surgeon.

Sugar Coated
Last week, I made the latest batch, pure candy perfection, with a new thermometer which - initially - seemed to be as defective as the last. Expensive and defective. As the batch simmered, so did I, till it occurred to me - in a moment of clarity - that my problem wasn't the thermometer, it was my perception of the way candy cooks.
The recipe I've been using, one which yields excellent results and for which I am very grateful, nonetheless suggests that the caramel should boil at 248 degrees for 15 minutes. What it really means to suggest is that caramel takes 15 minutes to get to 248 degrees - whereupon you better get it the fuck off the heat stat or you're going to have peanut brittle.
Maybe y'all know this, but just in case...
Here are a few shots of the tasty results of my fortuitous epiphany:
18 comments:
Oh i want to taste one. Look yummy. =D
A Writers Den
Brown MestizoIris: It's the Fleur de Sel caramel recipe on Epicurious. If you can't find it, email me and I'll send it to you. You'll love it!
Wendy: Merci!
Pink: What a great compliment, thank you.
Dr. M: It's not good for you but it sure does taste good.
Kate: Why aren't the technical writing skills strong in the culinary writer's set? You'd think they'd have it down.
D.: Effectively yes. That's about how long boiling on medium boil takes. But it can take a bit longer.
Miss C: I do have a great recipe. It's actually from the original Silver Palate cookbook. Always works awesomely. Email if you want me to send you the deets.
~h, Marta and Summer: It's not hard to make. And so delish to eat! Thanks to you all...Miss C: Intriguingly, I think it is disguised as sauce for profiteroles! It's really top of the line, no matter what they call it.
Droll: You are so accomodating! Only good can come of it :-)
Mardel: I know, it IS self-improving :-)
E: Oh, you really have to make this recipe with Miss 13. It's so fun and seriously delicious.
Jennine: Oh, you flatter me... :-)

Sukar.com: Jabbar Group's New Crown Jewel
- 7
Just as Jabbar group rolls out their Souq.com Egypt portal, excitement starts to build up for their new prodigal child, Sukar.com, which is "the first of its kind online private sales club" according to its creators.
The Dubai based portal is expected to offer its members up to 70% off on exclusive top designer brands, while shoppers can get a membership only if invited by existing members.

TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
Founder Saygin Yalcin has managed to get it initial funding in the realm of $5 million USD, making Jabbar Group its majority owner and at the same time providing the well established infrastructure that they have developed over the years in the payment, delivery and marketing domains of the web industry.
Sukar.com' will be cashing in on the region's notorious high-end commodities market, currently under-served by other companies in the region, most worthy of mentioning would be Souq.com also a member of Jabbar Group. Which bids the question, how will Souq make up for the lost market share to Sukar?

Is it beginning to sound a lot like Christmas?
Well, not yet, actually.
But Kelly Clarkson is doing her best to trigger the coming holiday-music avalanche with "Underneath the Tree," a remarkably cheery new single she released Friday.
It's the first sampling from Clarkson's upcoming Christmas album "Wrapped in Red," which is due out Oct. 29 and is to include renditions of such yuletide staples as "Run Run Rudolph," "My Favorite Things" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." The former "American Idol" champ also recorded collaborations with Ronnie Dunn (on "Baby, It's Cold Outside") and Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood (on "Silent Night").
"Underneath the Tree," FYI, was co-written by Clarkson and L.A.-based pop whiz Greg Kurstin, who produced the singer's 2012 hit "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."
Listen to "Underneath the Tree" -- and get ready for much more like it -- below.

Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2). Autophagy is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation but has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegeneration, infection, and cancer (3). The molecular machinery of autophagy was largely discovered in yeast and referred to as autophagy-related (Atg) genes.
Atg13/Apg13 was originally identified in yeast as a constitutively expressed protein that was genetically linked to Atg1/Apg1, a protein kinase required for autophagy (4). Overexpression of Atg1 suppresses the defects in autophagy observed in Atg13 mutants (4). Autophagy requires a direct association between Atg1 and Atg13, and is inhibited by TOR-dependent phosphorylation of Atg13 under high-nutrient conditions (5). Similarly, mammalian Atg13 forms a complex with the Atg1 homologues ULK1/2, along with FIP200, which localizes to autophagic isolation membranes and regulates autophagosome biogenesis (6-8). mTOR phosphorylates both Atg13 and ULK1, suppressing ULK1 kinase activity and autophagy (7-9). ULK1 can directly phosphorylate Atg13 at a yet unidentified site, presumably to promote autophagy (7,8). Additional studies suggest that Atg13 and FIP200 can function independently of ULK1 and ULK2 to induce autophagy through an unknown mechanism (10).

ICOM Conference, Shanghai, China, November 2010 - 4th Workshop on Transdisciplinarity
CIDOC Conference, Sibiu, Romania, September 2011
For more than 100 years the methodological background of documentation in scientific and scholarly disciplines hasn't substantially changed. The conceptual goals of structuring information within modern databases are still quite similar to those concepts used in traditional card index boxes. They provide, if at all, a limited support for a well-structured documentation of information in form and content. The traditional analogous practice of documentation is mainly based on more or less atomized entities which are often simple field names such as painter, collector or author. With modern approaches the documentation becomes more focused on processes and events. Thus the above mentioned entities what, who, where and when or respectively object/concept, person, place, time and activity have to be related to each other. In scientific and scholarly disciplines that should be an efficient way to document information in their full scientific depth rather than simply administering it. In addition a documentation of processes and events seems to be a prerequisite for transdisciplinary information integration which is needed for developing knowledge networks and knowledge representation tools on the internet. The CIDOC WG Transdisciplinary Approaches in Documentation is a forum for discussing the nature of digital documentation as a methodological subject of research. Researchers from scientific and scholarly domains are invited to collaborate on issues such as: What are the specific concepts used in research languages? How to make these specific concepts or domain-specific thoughts universally understandable? Are there any differences between the methodological structure of archaeological- and biological typologies? How to map scientific and scholarly knowledge in a domain-neutral way?

Program Guard
Program Guard allows the user of a Linux workstation to specify which applications are allowed to make TCP/IP connections to the Internet. Application program names can be specified by listing them in a file (Static Mode) or by querying the user (Query Mode). In Query Mode, connection attempts by unknown programs result in a Program Guard dialog box being displayed. In addition to providing connection information, this gives the workstation user the option of allowing or blocking the program either for the current instance of the program or for all future instances. It consists of a daemon, a kernel module, and a GUI interface component and makes use of the Linux Netfilter interface.

Looks like the new waves are getting out there. I haven't seen anything but the speeder bike locally.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
ASM Zine got word that they're doing an all-new astro droid with even more accuracy regarding panels and so on. Should be cool.
Han's Hideout got confirmation of a Senate Duel Darth Sidious in the ROTS wave, holy hot nuts!!! They say four ROTS figures will be upgrades to current characters, three will be straight repacks, and there will also be an ANH figure alongside this wave. We already know about Sidious, Grievous, and Anakin with ball-joint elbows (unless it got bumped), so I wonder what the other will be. Still, I'm pretty ecstatic about finally getting this Sidious.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!
My Photos and Reviews: SSG Toy Guide
My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
I kind of get the sense that the Star Wars boat is taking on water fast and Hasbro is doing everything they can to keep it afloat. It doesn't help that some fans are acting like Hasbro is deliberately trying to kill the line or has some kind of personal vendetta out against them and their incomplete dioramas (which isn't that big of a problem on this site, but is almost epidemic on certain other fansites).
Personally, I think Hasbro went too far into obscurity with Legacy last year. Jumping over figures that fans had been requesting for years (like Bom Vimdim, updated Dr. Evazan, Wooof, etc.) right to the figures that even the most diehard collectors had trouble getting excited about (Leesub Sirlin, Pons Limbic, Giran, etc.). Hopefully, they can correct that this year with more "mainstream" figures like Ackbar and the Gamorrean Guard, but it would have been better if 2009 had been more balanced and we might have avoided this entire situation.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Currently the only three figures I consider absolute must haves before the line dies are:
Hoth Leia (getting soon ^_^)
R2 with pop up lightsaber (Sounds like he may be made some time in the near future)
and Wicket (So far no mention).
Anything else I plan to buy only if I realy like it when I see it in the store.
Anyway, going off what I just said, I have zero problem with core characters being the focus of TVC line, as I'v been passing on TONS of the back ground characters in recent years due to lack of interest and lack of space. I look at what's sitting on the shelf at my local wal mart and target and it's almost ALL back ground characters. The same ones week after week. Focusing on core characters will be a huge help to the line I think, especialy since at this point all I'm looking for are definitive visions of the main characters and the rare figure that interest me for no real reason.
With the OTC in 2004, it was mostly a repack year. The first part of the year saw several new figures and resculpts with the end of the Saga Line. Then there were repacks in the Saga Hall of Fame bunch of figures. The OTC line only had 7 new figures (9 if you count Wedge and Holo Emperor). From what we've seen or heard about so far, we'll be doing better than that. With the ESB wave, there are a lot of redos, but most are figures that people have been wanting to see upgrades of. Plus, a lot of people have expressed excitement over the vintage style cards, so you might get a lot of people collecting them for that just to keep carded.
Yeah, "fun".
The bubbles have to be a specific depth to get them stacked into their generic cases. No way there's enough room for a figure with the box behind him, you may as well be stacking 3 figures into 1 coffin blister. A better way to do this would be to have the figure higher and the accessory below the figure near the bottom of the card. They also have a lot of empty space in the middle, but that might upset the visual impact they're going for. I'd rather have the box than no figure though.I don't understand their dilemma with the Vintage-style bubbles and the scanning crew trooper. The trooper is pretty thin, I think they could get away with a slightly extended bubble to fit the scanning box behind him. Back during the ye olde Kenner days they made a larger bubble to fit Amanaman, so it has precedent. Of course they also have those battle packs that seem large enough to fit in that scanning box...
Yeah, that's great news, I'm thrilled. I'm a little surprised that they act like this is a new idea though, the Ep 1 figure is fantastic in the dome because the panels aren't indented and that is 11 years old. I hope they don't sculpt such thick lines for the body panels too, the VOTC body looks alright with a dirty deco, but clean it highlights how thick those lines are. And they need to make it shorter and have the hip spacers. Hopefully they'll hit it out of the park finally.
Yes, it does feel like SW is sinking and Hasbro is clutching at air to save it. I appreciate them going to great efforts to save it, but without entertainment support I too fear it's going to die in the next 2 years. Your post in the other thread suggested you feel it's more like 1 year, which I think HOPEFULLY is too much, but you could be right too.
I don't get any fan who thinks Hasbro isn't doing everything in their power to try to keep the line going. That is just short-sighted and selfish, and I'm glad you pointed it out that way.
I do agree that Leesub was a really poor call, and Brainiac wasn't the most outstanding choice in a wave with 2 other Mos Eisley snores. But IMO, those risks would have been acceptable if Hasbro hadn't screwed up the pacing of the last 2 years. It's the momentum they lost from TAC falling asleep at the end of '07 and Indiana Jones taking its place for so long only to then have Star Wars wake up, barf up 2 waves, a wave of repaints, and fall back asleep until 2009. That is just too much momentum to lose, and here they are doing it again. The only new movie figures in 2009 were the Yarna wave, and stores were flooded with it and the live-action Clone Wars 1 wave for 4 more months, only to end the year with the "who cares" wave of ROTS figures with the Organa couple. Hell, even Breha Organa wouldn't have been TOO bad a choice if they had released it around the same time as one could find exciting figures on the pegs too, but no, everything was this themed wave plan that got too specific and too snorey and too slow.Personally, I think Hasbro went too far into obscurity with Legacy last year. Jumping over figures that fans had been requesting for years (like Bom Vimdim, updated Dr. Evazan, Wooof, etc.) right to the figures that even the most diehard collectors had trouble getting excited about (Leesub Sirlin, Pons Limbic, Giran, etc.). Hopefully, they can correct that this year with more "mainstream" figures like Ackbar and the Gamorrean Guard, but it would have been better if 2009 had been more balanced and we might have avoided this entire situation.

Another incrementally improved astromech mold doesn't really fill me with joy, not sure I'll notice the changes. Probably for the best because I'd hate to find myself thinking that all the astromechs I've bought up to now are suddenly obsolete. My main beefs have always been the chrome dome they kept giving R2-D2 for no reason whatsoever and also the annoying backwards middle leg on the G9 mold. I've been happy with the astromechs otherwise...whether a panel should be recessed or level with the surrounding surface I can't say I ever noticed that kind of thing.
It bugs me to no end, I notice every little change on astromechs figures. The Ep 1 figure has one of the best domes, they used paint and chrome and then a topcoat layer - that topcoat scatters the light from the chrome, giving a much better sense of scale. Unfortunately, many collectors like the regular obvious chrome for nostalgia, and kiddies like it 'cause it's shiny.
I've not noticed the backwards foot on R4-G9 molds though. In fact, I've got my R4-G9 right here on my desk and examining the middle leg, it seems to be completely symmetrical front-to-back. The angle of the cuts, the sculpted detail, even the "leg" part. So what is this?

This is a problem that drives me nuts as well. Perhaps Devo can explain this better than I but on quite a few of the astros that share the R4 body the center leg is attached backwards. While it looks pretty symmetrical front to back you can tell it's backwards because of the range of the "foot". On the ones that are backwards, the foot achieves a greater angle behind the droid than when extended in front of the droid. The reason this all bothers me is because it when the droid is displayed rolling in its "three-point stance" it requires the droid to have a more upright posture than depicted in the films (the droid actually achieves a more accurate position rolling backwards than forwards). As far as I've discovered there is no easy (or any) way of popping of the leg and turning it around.

The 50 Dollars or Less Antique Shop
Eric and his girlfriend Mary had always known about the 50
Dollars or Less Antique Shop that was in the older end of town but they had
never been in it. Today they finally decided to look into it when they heard
some of the stuff is worth a lot more than what it's sold for. They went in and
looked around. Not a lot out of the ordinary. But this antique doll set that
Mary was eyeing eventually caught Eric's attention too. She told him that it
was worth a couple hundred bucks so they decided to buy it and resell it. They
take a few pictures and then post it online for selling.
The next day a man from the next town over comes by and pays
$250 for it. They give him the dolls and he drives off. For two days everything
seemed normal. But then he came back and gave them the dolls and told them to
keep the money. He then drove off as fast as he could. Confused Mary and Eric
look at each other. Then later they post it again.
Another person buys it but two days later the same thing
happens. They ask him why he wanted to return it and he frantically said "I don't
want it anymore, just keep those away from me!" He runs over to his car and
they ask him to wait but it's too late. He drove off in a hurry. They decide to just put the dolls in one of
the storage garages. They go home and wonder what made them want to return the
In the morning they turn on the radio in the car while
heading down to the store; when they hear something tragic. The owner of the
storage complex had hung himself late in the night. They look at each other and
then drive to get the dolls. As soon as they get home they put the dolls in the
basement and get out their camera. They set it up to tape all night and they go
to sleep.
When they wake up they go down and switch out the memory
card. He turns on his laptop and they watch the video together. Nothing happens
so they fast forward the video. They slow down right before midnight. At the
time-stamp for midnight he could have sworn the largest doll blinked. Eric
pauses the video and rewinds it; this time nothing. Had he just imagined it? Surely not he
reassured himself as they watch the rest of the video.
Mary goes out for a walk while Eric stays and researches
different types of spirits. The spirit that seemed different than the rest was
the one awaked by blood of a relative. These were said to be so rare that
there's no known way of getting rid of them. They were different than most
other types of spirits. Most spirits haunted an area or an item. These would
exist only where the blood relatives of the person who died had lived at one
point. He read a story someone said about a spirit trapped in her apartment
that left when the previous resident came to tell her how to fix the issue with
the faucet. He read other stories similar to this one and was so caught up in
reading them that he didn't hear the front door shut.
Mary had come home. She asked if he had found anything of
interest where he replied "no, not something believable." They went to make
some dinner and discussed what might have happened with the dolls. When they
were going to bed the temperature in five rooms of the house were colder than
the rest. Five. There were five dolls too.
In the morning they wake up and check on the dolls. They
weren't where they had left them. They go to make breakfast and to their
surprise; the dolls were sitting in each of the five chairs at the table. They
quickly pick up the dolls and drive them to the dump. They were truly in shock
now. Their previous disbelief had disappeared. They went to the antique shop in
search of answers.
The owner was the oldest person in town. They asked about
the previous owners of the doll. He looked with a smile "why you were." Mary
looking shocked asks "me?" And the shop owner nods. Eric asks "what are you
talking about?" The shop owner says "this shop burned down nearly fifty years
ago. Killing me along with it. The things in here were items the towns' people
had sold to me over the years. But now the dead come for vessels to the world
of the living. The dolls you bought seemed to be possessed by the family in
'your' house. When really you were the intruders in the house." Both Eric and
Mary asked at the same time "how did we die?" The shop owner replied "you died
together in a car crash. Haven't you ever noticed that you're together almost
all the time?"
Then at that moment a pale skinned little girl with a flower
in her hair walks in through the door holding one of the antique dolls. The
shop owner says "the flu has had many tolls this year."

Very creepy and cool idea. But, you need to "tell" less and "show" more. (For example, "Mary looking shocked..."; don't tell me, SHOW me.)
What do the dolls look and feel like? Make me see them. What do the protagonists look and act like? Make them real. Make me care about them. (The more you say "he" and "they" with no description, the less I care about them. Show me their faces and features, let me hear their voices, etc.)
BTW, "Haven't you ever noticed that you're together almost all the time" isn't as effective when you have Mary leave Eric to take a walk in a short story.
I know it may not feel like it, but I do like your story. I want to like it more. Bring in the five senses. Make my spine tingle in fear. Bring it.

I usually only celebrate major holidays and Cinco de Mayo was never a big deal to me. What's the big deal about May 5th? It's just another day, right? If you didn't already know this, Cinco de Mayo (the fifth of May) commemorates the Mexican Army's victory over France in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla.
Honestly, it's still not a big deal to me. But my son is in his 2nd year of high school Spanish and has an assignment to take a recipe to school (for prior approval) and then he's supposed to make the dish and take it to school to share. His class does this for Cinco de Mayo and Day of the Dead.
We've made Mexican Cookies and some kind of pinwheel with cream cheese and peppers in it, both very good. Our favorite "mexican" dish is Cowboy Caviar. It is easy to make, no cooking involved and it tastes very good and I would say it's good for you. It has different beans and tomatoes and corn and you can eat it with tortilla chips. It doesn't look very appetizing, but my son likes it so much that he requests it even when he doesn't have to take a dish to school. I have always made it, but he's supposed to - it is his assignment. He has a bad cold now, so I guess we'll have to see how he feels tonight. If he's coughing and sneezing, I'll have to make it. He has a 4.0, perfect attendance and refuses to miss school.
My son attends Utica High School in the North Fork Local School District.
- Location:
- Ohio Licking County Utica
- Groups:
- 31 Days of May Challenge 2011
I'm in a diet competition and weigh in on Mondays. I weighed Monday and then proceeded to stuff myself for 2 days. Today I'm back to the south beach diet, so no alcohol for me.
I hope your son is feeling better today. Happy Cinco de Mayo to you both!
PS: As a former teacher of 20 years, I wish schools would NOT honor perfect attendance. It just is not good public health policy. As a student and as a teacher, I did make it through some years with perfect attendance--but NEVER did it without going to school sick. I am sure I passed on some germs when I should have been home!
Thanks Liz, he's not feeling much better today. He did at least compromise and go in late. It doesn't count as an absence and he won't miss History. He is going for perfect attendance in History because he's the only one in his class who still has it and he won't have to take the final exam. Honestly, it wouldn't matter, he's a smart kid and I'm sure he could ace the exam.

A first date with a potential suitor is just as new and important as a second, third and fourth. As you get to know one another, what you do and the places you go are imprints of your first and lasting impressions. The proposals of what to do on a date are scrutinized, as you each have your own inner dialogue: "Ugh, I can't believe he just suggested I go listen to a jazz band. Borrrrrring!"
Our suggestion? Keep it neutral. Here's a list of great first, second, third and fourth date ideas that keep it simple so you can continue to learn about one another without finding yourselves in an uncomfortable situation. If, during the initial dates, you find out you're both extremely adventurous, you can plan your bungee jumping adventure for date number five.
This is a casual and conventional date idea that gives way for a little friendly competition and opens to the door to flirtation. The environment is fun and low-stress so you both can be at ease… and have a beer!
The natural beauty of a great park is calming and viscerally appealing. Stroll through the gardens together, bring a board game, pack a light lunch for a picnic and expect some handholding and other types of canoodling. Don't forget the pleasures of people-watching, a favorite pastime for most.
If your beau isn't interested in laughing, you probably shouldn't be interested in him. Try to get seats close to the stage and hope that the comedian heckles you so there's a third party to break the first-date barrier between you two. Either way, when you leave the show, there will be plenty to talk about and reflect on!
Go get wild! Filled with exotic animals, the zoo is a great place to admire and learn about all different types of wildlife. Not only can you walk around and marvel at these creatures, but there's also usually a bunch of activities happening there as well. There are places to eat, films to watch and Japanese gardens to walk through – there's never that worry that your date will get boring.
Not everyone loves to cook, but everyone loves to eat! Going out to dinner is as simple and neutral as dates come. Instead of going with something extremely cultural like Indian or Lebanese, consider going out for Italian – an all-around favorite. Good food and good wine leads to good conversation. How else can you find out if your date would ever bungee jump?

You know what this blog needs to get re-started? A NEW LOCATION! Yup, I've just moved into my new digs at a fancy Wordpress blog. You can now find me here -- just replace the blogspot in this old URL with wordpress to get you there (and to update your blogrolls and RSS readers).
I thought now was a good time to move since I'm entering a new phase of my career, the amorphous "mid-career" stage. I'm not only post-tenure, but post-sabbatical (I'm not hopeful that we'll have them any more in another seven years), so it seemed like a good time to upgrade the blog a bit.
I've got a introductory post up at the new place now, and I've also moved all the archives over from here. And shortly, I really will re-commence substantive blogging. I've got a post brewing about an infuriating e-text issue and tons of pictures to show you and stuff to tell you about my research trip to London (where I was too crazily busy to find time to blog). So go check out the new place and give me some feedback there.
I've been doing all sorts of house-cleaning and moving in the electronic realm, actually. I've moved the blog from Blogger to Wordpress, started up a Google+ profile (which I really hope will ultimately take the place of Facebook), and switched up the way I do e-mail. Basically, I'm trying to move Dr. Virago's world away from Google products (although I still have a Gmail account under that name) so that I won't find myself accidentally commenting under my real name on blogs or sending an e-mail to a friend as Dr. Virago. Plus things are just prettier and sleeker over at the Wordpress blog -- go see!

Two people were held up at gunpoint as armed robbers ransacked their Pleasant Hill home this morning, police said. Police received a report from a neighbor around 11:30 a.m. of a possible robbery in progress at a home in the 1600 block of Wendy Drive, according to police. Officers arriving on the scene learned that three armed suspects had entered the home and robbed it.
Police said one of the suspects pistol-whipped one of the residents in the head, inflicting minor injuries. The suspects held the victims at gunpoint while grabbing cash, a laptop computer and a handgun from the home. Police said the pair then fled in a newer model Chevrolet Suburban or Trailblazer and were last seen speeding on Wendy Drive. Officers searched the area and issued a countywide advisory to other law enforcement agencies but the suspects remain at large. The first suspect is described as a black male who is about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build and black hair. He was wearing a blue shirt and was armed with a black semi-automatic handgun at the time of the robbery, police said.
The second suspect is described as a black male believed to be in his mid 20s who is about 6 feet tall with black hair and a thin build. That suspect was wearing a black, gray and red short-sleeve shirt and was also armed with a semiautomatic gun. A third suspect was described only as a black male.

Pictus & Tetra I know this is probably a stupid question with an obvious answer but I'm going to ask it anyway: Is it possible for a pictus cat (3") to eat an inch(!) long tetra?? I had five neons and last night came home to only four. I've looked EVERYWHERE and the neon is not in the tank. The tank is tightly covered. Did Loki eat the poor little guy?? I also have an upside-down cat (2") but I'm sure "Chicken Little" didn't get that neon in his little mouth.... :?: :?: |
Don't worry about asking questions. The only question being stupid is the one not asked. Yes, it's possible for a pictus to eat a tetra that size. An inch is very small. |

I don't have a perfect solution, but the law is never perfect. Some drivers in certain cars can be safe at 25 mph over the speed limit, but we set an impartial metric even if it may be imperfect.
If it's the wrong level, it can be tweaked over time, and judges and juries can moderate the law from there.

Come on, you're in Chapel Hill on Franklin Street. Can't you find something better to do than go to Kildare's? There are better bars and better places to eat. Yeah, the fireplace and some of the seating is nice, but I kinda felt like I was in some faux-Irish Disneyland. Ok, well, if you must...
To respond to folks who were nice enough to comment on my comment...
My comments on SkyTran: I suppose it comes from frustration when TTA spent 10 years and had endless public meetings about corridors, modes, types, and everything, come up with what I think was a pretty innovative solution that blended old technology and new and did it in a reasonable feasible way, and when it comes time to talk turkey, the only thing you here is, "what about this other whizbang gadget?!?" Monorails and PRT have been the "next big thing" for about 40 years now, and the pilot systems, such as that at the WVU campus, have shown the cost to be pretty high and the usage to be pretty moderate. I'm just not buying it, particularly for a region as spread out and discombobulous as the Triangle. Rule of thumb: if your technology looks like it's straight out of the Jetsons, you might wait until we have butler robots, wooshing doors, and antenae hats before we spend big bucks on it.
As to the cost/rider of the TTA system, it's important to note that, if I remember right, the feds won't let you count development that occurs around the transit sites because of the train. In other words, even though there's already been massive speculative real estate transactions and some development around the transit sites, even before it's been approved, much less built, you can't project any more people to live near the stations or for there to be any new shops or offices near the stations that might increase ridership. What that means is, in the end, unless we're complete idiots, the actual cost per rider should be a lot lower than the projected number. They're just not allowed to use those numbers because it's an enforcable standard, whereas it's hard to standardize your predictions about what nearby development will be. Highway projections are not under the same constraints, because you don't get the kind of super-concentrated development that you do with transit stops.
Dana brings up the question of why we should use the rail corridor when it doesn't serve certain areas. That's where history gets interesting. Sure, if you look at north Raleigh and the new parts (most) of Cary, the train doesn't serve those well. But those were built for the car, by the car, and of the car. The only hope for getting those areas on mass transit is to see some decent infill development to get the density up, then serve them with buses. But back to the rail line, it IS the reason why many towns exist. Durham is the fourth, soon to be third, largest city in NC, and at the end of the Civil War it was farmland. (It got its name because Dr. Durham donated land for a train station, which became "Durham Station," which became the seed for the town.) Cary and Morrisville were stations for loading agricultural products to take to market, and soon markets grew up around them. Off that main line, Oxford, Creedmoor, Butner, Roxboro, Clayton, Smithfield, Wilson, Knightdale, Wendell, and Fuqua-Varina all grew up on rail lines. And, of course, even though RTP didn't develop around it, the rail does go right through the middle of the park. The rail is the old backbone of the region. And these days, it's quite underused. So why walk away from a ready-made corridor and build a new one, which would almost certainly require eminent domain condemnations and demolition of houses, on top of expensive land aquisitions?
Dana repeatedly brings up Atlanta as a model. I agree with the previous criticisms of Atlanta, but I think it also bears mentioning that what we're doing is very similar to what Washington, DC did 30-40 years ago, in perhaps the most successful mass transit project in the past half century. DC's biggest problem these days is that they can't build the new lines fast enough, and that large new stations are crowded at rush hour as soon as they open. Atlanta made mistakes, sure, but I don't think we're repeating them.
I'm also very much in favor of bus rapid transit. I think after Phase 1 of the rail gets built, one of the next big projects needs to be High Occupancy/Toll lanes down the middle of 40, and frequent express buses that take advantage of them, making the Chapel Hill/Meadowmont/Heritage Square/Southpoint/RTP/Airport/N. Cary/NCSU/Dtn. Raleigh link. (HOT lanes are lanes where carpoolers ride free and single occupancy cars can pay a toll.)
Finally, as someone who's a proponent of certain road projects as well (the East End Connector tops Durham's biggest transportation wish list at the moment, for very good reason), I can say that yes, construction costs have increased that much recently. I don't really understand why, but I think a big part of it is that, in addition to materials, values for open land in the Triangle are a whole lot higher than they were when the first parts of I-540 went in. So I don't think $61M/mi is all that high.
On October 24, 2006, results from a survey sponsored by WRAL and the News & Observer reported fairly strong interest in mass transit options for the Triangle by residents. The survey included approximately 600 likely voters and among many political questions, asked what the region's biggest pr...
Just got forwarded this link by a friend. A few comments here:
1. First off, as a Durhamite, I suppose it's not terribly surprising given the name of the blog, but that's a terribly Raleigh-centric list of destinations. If you only served those, the system would be useless to Durhamites. You'd also need to incorporate Duke University/Medical Center, Durham Regional Hospital and the surrounding North Duke Mall area, NC Central University, the South Square area, as well as several stops in Chapel Hill.
2. Regional nitpicks aside, there's a pretty big gap between people's perceptions of why the train failed to get federal funding and the actual obstacles that blocked it. Most of the comments I've seen on it imply that it wouldn't have served enough people, and was just implicitly too expensive. The reality is that it would have been very possible to build a very functional, popular system for half of what the final price tag was but for some ugly realities and bad luck that came into play. Namely:
- Freight company intransigence/NCRR spinelessness. Most of the corridor that the system would have run on was owned by the NC Railroad Corp., or NCRR, a state agency. In its charter, it is required to make consessios for passenger rail. However, in negotiating the leases, NCRR caved to pressure from the freight carriers to preserve their corridor. Now, I live less than a half mile from the main tracks, and I can tell you no more than three or four freight trains go through a day, at absolute most. There was plenty of time for them to put their trains through, and share the same tracks with the system, provided they agreed not to run freight trains at rush hour. However, because that would mean giving up some rights to that track in perpetuity, they screamed. NCRR's board is mostly stacked with people friendly to the freight firms, so they made TTA go a ridiculous buffer distance out (allegedly for safety, but I think to preserve the right to build a second set of freight-only tracks) and build two new passenger-only tracks. That sent the cost through the roof.
- Certain Duke administrators who aggressively obstructed a station near the Hospital. Having Duke Hospital, the epicenter of the Triangle's largest private employer, on the system would have been huge for TTA's ridership numbers. However, a certain executive Vice President did everything he could to keep a station far away from the hospital, and his demands and delays drove up the cost of the final stop on the line that it was finally dropped. This was a killer to TTA's ridership tally.
- Change in political environment. Minneapolis and Charlotte started on the same track as the Triangle, and with not much better numbers got their systems approved, and they'll be built now. The Triangle had a significantly bigger system, but with similar cost/rider numbers in the end. (Lower, but it could have been made up.) Because it took longer to design, by the time it was ready to get support from the feds, Washington was significantly less friendly to mass transit projects than it had been previously. (GOP in power, Senators Dole and Burr, Iraq war, etc.) Sometimes, timing is everything.
3. One thing I really disagree with TTA on is how they marketed the system. They essentially tried to sell this thing as The Solution for public transit in the Triangle. The reality, which I've been repeating in as many public forums as I could, is that the rail system would make a great backbone of a regional solution, but that in order to work right, it desperately needed greatly increased bus service to help feed it, and that wasn't included in the cost. If you lived, say, two miles away from the line, but near a reasonably major road, you should have been able to take a bus running every 10 minutes or less at rush hour to the nearest station, then wait less than 7.5 minutes for the train and take it to IBM's campus, or NC State, or whatever. But that would involve a big increase in funding for CAT and DATA, and no one ever talked about that. (A Durham County Commissioner told me when I tried to sell her on this, "You ought to look at that train proposal!" So even the elected officials were under this impression.)
4. The "it wouldn't go to the airport!" argument is the most bogus complaint ever aired. Through much experience, direct connections to airport terminals in other cities are some of the most expensive, underused stops. The TTA system would have gotten you as close as you get with one of the Park and Ride lots, and then you could have taken a five minute shuttle to the terminal, just like a P&R lot. Look, even in Paris, where EVERYONE takes the metro, you have to take a shuttle from the airport stop.
5. In response to a commenter, I can't say what the chances are, but TTA leaders definitely do not think this thing is dead. It's dead for this round of funding, but there are other options. You very likely won't hear anything public until they think they've got a decent shot at one of them, but they're actively working on finding other sources of funding, and definitely sound optimistic when you talk to them.
6. As to Sky Tran, forgive me for being cynical, but yeah, right! I got really dubious when the interface was "voice recognition," which ties with the touchscreen as the most idiotic and unnecessary user interface currently in widespread use. (Just what the hell is so hard about pressing a button?!?!?) Its pushers say they can build it for a lower cost per mile, but what's the bandwidth of that mile? Will there not be a massive demand for cars at 5 PM at an RTP stop? How do you avoid conjestion going through the Morrisville/Cary bottleneck? Or do you string secondary lines that go through the middle of nowhere to the north or south? And how, precisely, will the energy efficiency be better than an automobile if you're having to shuttle empty cars all over the place to meet demand? I'll lay down a figure right now. In actual implimentation costs, if a moderately usable system could be built Triangle-wide and operated for 10 years at less than $8 billion, I'm a monkey's uncle. And I still say that system would suck.

Hello! I'm new here and I just had a couple of questions. I have a 2005 V6 Mustang. I have had a custom radio in it for quite some time so that I could use my iPod in there. But a couple of days ago I got in and cut my car on but the radio wouldn't come on. And it still has yet to cut on. I have checked the fuses for the radio and none of them appear to be broken. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what I should do. Thanks for any and all help!
I'd pull the radio to check the pigtail in the back. If it's good, I'd check the hot and ground wires with a multimeter or try to borrow another radio that you know works so you can narrow down whether the issue is the radio or the wiring.

Balsamic Chicken Thighs
Recipe by mickie49
This is a quick and easy recipe that never fails to please even my picky DDs. Since chicken thighs are usually inexpensive it makes a economical meal. I like to serve these with some type of rice side dish and a green salad.
Top Review by FabulousBigNiki
Wow!! You people weren't kidding, this IS an amazing recipe. Just like everyone says: easy and delicious. I used red onions instead of shallots, and drained some chicken grease out before adding them. Next time I'll try the shallots, but it was outstanding even with onions. BEST meal I've had in a long time. I'll be making this for company to show off a little you can bet! ;)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs skinless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup chopped shallot

Perhaps the Winnipeg Blue Bombers should replace the blue "W" on their helmets with a big red cross.
The hurting continues for the 0-3 Blue Bombers, who are now without quarterback Buck Pierce due to a foot injury. Backup Alex Brink is taking his place Wednesday in Toronto.
Thanks to injuries, the Bombers will play the Argos (1-2) minus right tackle Andre Douglas, slotback Cory Watson, linebackers Marcellus Bowman and Brandon Stewart, and defensive back Alex Suber.
In all, there were more than a dozen players on Winnipeg's combined injury list Monday and the Bombers still couldn't say exactly how long they'll be without Pierce's services.
But at practice Monday, there was at least one ray of sunshine piercing the gloomy grey skies above Canad Inns Stadium. Bomber coach Paul LaPolice is finally getting promising running back Chad Simpson into the lineup. He'll replace Bloi-Dei Dorzon, who was third on the depth chart before pre-season injuries removed both Simpson and the No. 1 tailback, Chris Garrett.
Dorzon has 108 yards on 24 carries, as well as five receiving yards. LaPolice says Simpson has more ability as a receiver coming out of the backfield.
"Certainly he's one of the most prepared pros we have, he said. "He's as smart a running back as I've seen in the last couple of years so I think he'll do a good job picking up things."
Simpson missed the first three games of the season due to a leg injury and says he's anxious to get on the field.
Not that he suggests he could have turned around the three Winnipeg losses.
"I really can't say what would have went differently but I know that some things should be different this game," he said.
He played three seasons in the NFL, but sat out 2011.
"I've been out a year so missing any games is going to hurt me," he said.
Brink also said he feels fine and able to lead the offence in Toronto. A hit in Edmonton last week bounced his head on the turf and led to talk of a possible concussion, but he insists he had no problems.
"Ready to go," he said. "We had a short week of prep but I think in this case it was good. It got guys focused on this week and kind of put last week to bed."
The humiliating 42-10 loss to the Eskimos was just the latest frustration as Winnipeg tries to get back some of the winning form it had early last season.
There are signs LaPolice has started to come down harder on a team that has made plenty of costly mistakes in those three opening losses — seven turnovers last Friday in Edmonton alone.
"Just because you're out there doesn't mean you're performing at a high level," said LaPolice.
He isn't shy about naming those he thinks are showing how the game should be played.
"Chris Matthews, that guy's getting a lot of plays because every he gets an opportunity he makes a play, he gets it right," said the coach.
"We've been talking a lot about the attention to details and if they don't, then you have to start making changes."

Picked up one of those new RUGER 77/44 in .44 mag of course. It is light, handles well and accurate. I plain on using it for elk in thick dark timber, keeping my shots under 100 yrds. I'll probably use LBT 270 cast bullets. Have any of you actually killed any elk with a .44 yet? I've shot a few elk in my 45 years of hunting, but never used a pistol caliber before. I'm impressed with penetration and frontal area of this caliber though, and am sure it will humanly kill my bull!!
Welcome to TFF Major, hope you enjoy the site. As to your question I am curious as to the replys you get myself. I have not been fortunate enuf to draw an elk tag in my state yet but when I do I am not willing to risk my tag with a pistol cartridge. Not that it cant be done, I just am not willing to try it. Good luck in your search for an answer. Happy hunting.
yeah we had a disscussion about hunting with these forget the name of the post. I believe a few elk were mentioned.
I have seen it done...not my preferred choice of caliber to be brutally honest. I have a 45-70 guide gun I use under those conditions that has served me well. Shot placement would be of paramount importance. My $.02 swede
44 on elk I've got a Guide Gun 45/70 too Sweede. Good guns an't they? Put a Williams 5$ Receiver sight on mine. Just thought I'd try the new Ruger for a change. Heck, I see plenty of guys up on Spread Creek and Gros Venture with .444 Marlins, the .44 mag can't be too far behind.
Folks have done it with a .44 mag handgun so it is doable. You might consider keeping it down to something more like bow hunting ranges, though. Under 50 yards, IMHO. If your animal takes off after being hit, at 100 yards, follow up shots will be at ranges that seriously press the capability of the round. The elk may present a portion of his anatomy where a second shot at 150 yards, or more, will merely add insult to injury. A bad scenario would be for the elk to head down a draw and die at--or fall down to--the bottom, leaving you the chore of hauling the animal back up a couple of hundred feet of steep, brush choked slope. Such a scenario would somewhat negate the advantantage of carrying a light, handy (but low powered) carbine. Keep the Ruger for deer and hogs, though.
Here's a little perspective on where the 44 mag sits when compared to the 45-70 and 444 Marlin. 44 Mag with 265 gr top load 1700 fps. (Ruger 18" barrel semi-auto rifle) Muzzle energy: 1700 ft./lbs Energy at 50 yds: 1372 ft/lbs Energy at 100 yds: 1108 ft/lbs 444 Marlin with 265gr top load 2200 fps. Muzzle energy: 2847 ft/lbs Energy at 100 yds: 1898 ft/lbs 45-70 Gov't with 350 gr top load 2200 fps (New weapons only) Muzzle: 3761 ft/lbs 100 yds: 2507 ft/lbs I would tend to say that the 44 Mag out of a rifle is still no match for either of the other two rifles. Bullet for bullet, the 444 has it almost doubled. The 45-70 speaks for itself. The above data is taken from the Hornady 4th edition reloading and ballistics tables. As grunt said, it is doable, but ya gonna want to be close, say about 50 yds and under! Semper Fi, Major
Regards major... I always hunted on the North Forth or up around Pinedale when I was a Wyo resident. Couple seasons in the desert south of Rock Springs too. I cant critisize your doing it with the .44 mag. Its gonna be a challenge and I have seen it done. Biut in dark timber you are gonnabe close anyway. I might suggest a 300 gr hard cast bullet though. Only problem I had was that it wasnt hard finding elk...it was hard shooting them in a place you can easily get them out of... I decided one type to shoot an antelope with my scoped .44 redhawk. Max range 100 yds. I was gonna stalk em too...not dig a pit blind by a waterhole. That was a challenge I did not get accomplished that year. But I will try again some time. I applaud your efforts with the .44, I would move up to the 300 gr, swede
Welcome to TDD, Major. Hope you will join us and post often. Probably its personal preference but I would use the new 1895MR long barrel 450 Marlin. Not because of my namesake but a lever hound since I'm so strongly left-handed and left eye orieanted! I, too, would worry about the need for a follow-up shot. Have used my .44 Mag 1894 several times successfully on deer, though.....
Just my experience...seems to transfer more "wallop" energy to the target. Plus recoil is less and they seem to be more accurate than the 200 & 240's in my redhawk. swede

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — A Sudanese military spokesman says a military training helicopter has crashed in the country's south, killing its two crew members.
Col. Sawarmy Khalid was quoted on Thursday by SUNA, Sudan's official news agency, as saying that the crash was an accident.
Khalid says the helicopter hit a high voltage electricity pole in Damzain in southeastern Sudan. Damzain is the capital of Blue Nile state. No further details were available.
The government in Khartoum has been facing an insurgency in the Blue Nile state and has accused its southern neighbor, South Sudan, of helping rebels there.

Court: No temporary ban on anti-Islam video
By YONAH JEREMY BOB AND MELANIE LIDMAN
Petitioners request court force Google to block access in Israel to video; A-Sanaa: Courts would block film ridiculing the Holocaust.
A Jerusalem District Court judge on Thursday denied MK Taleb a-Sanaa (United Arab List- Ta'al) and others' petition for a temporary injunction blocking an anti-Islam video ridiculing the prophet Muhammad on Google and YouTube.
The two sides started the battle over the petition's main argument seeking a permanent injunction, but no final decision was made.
Sanaa frequently compared the Innocence of Muslims trailer to a movie making fun of the Holocaust, claiming that the courts would be quick to force YouTube and Google to take down any movie deemed offensive to Jews.
He pleaded with Jerusalem District Judge Miriam Mizrahi to approve the temporary injunction, but was unsuccessful.
Outside the courtroom, Sanaa slammed the courts.
"They are forcing people to go out and have violent demonstrations," he said. "Freedom of expression is not expression without limits, and it's not that whoever doesn't want to hear it won't pay attention. The fact is that people were actively hurt by this. It can't be that because [the courts] are not Muslim [they] won't worry about the feelings of Muslims," he said.
Google presented a spirited defense of free speech, the limits of a search engine and other arguments.
Wading into the conflict between freedom of speech and offending public sentiments, Google invoked the inability to truly block access to a Webvideo in the digital age.
But Google did not limit itself to freedom of speech arguments.
In an attempt to sidestep the entire petition, Google said it was not a "publisher" of movies or anything else, but an engine for searching for all kinds of items.
If it is not a publisher, it cannot be ordered not to publish anything, said Google. In other words, it is useless to order a company to stop doing something it does not do in the first place.
Emphasizing the point, Google lawyer Hagit Blaiberg stressed that viewers had to take action in order to see the offensive video, unlike a billboard or other publication in the public sphere. "It's a choice, they have to go to it," she said.
"Someone who doesn't look for the video won't find it, so the public that could be offended by the video can avoid watching the clip for now," Mizrahi said, possibly revealing the judge's position on the overall petition.
On that note, Google lawyer Blaiberg noted that the Knesset had thoroughly debated the issue of holding search engines liable for various postings and had declined to do so to date.
Google's role in the case was further complicated by the confusion over its relationship with YouTube and Google Israel. "All I know about Google is that it's a search engine," Mizrahi quipped at one point.
Mizrahi also said she had not seen the trailer for Innocence of Muslims.
"We can watch it right here, it will just take 10 minutes," responded Kais Nasser, the lawyer representing Sanaa and other petitioners.
Google also managed to take the side of the petitioners, as if to say that there was a villain here, but that the petitioners were going after the wrong party.
If the petitioners want to hold someone accountable for the video, said Google, they should be suing the video's producer.
In terms of actually stopping the harm itself, Google noted that even if the petitioners got all of the relief they asked for, Israelis would be able to view the movie on other search engines.
There was no way to stop people from viewing the video, unless the entire world blocked off the Internet everywhere, which was not possible, Google said.
In that light it would also be unfair to make Google suffer for its success as a top-search engine and to help its competitors by arbitrarily preventing Google from allowing access to certain items while its competition could continue to allow access.
Next Google attacked procedural aspects of the petition.
Google said it was improperly filed as it mixed together criminal counts with civil ones.
The claims needed to be separated, said Google, and the criminal ones must first go to the police and follow the regular process before they found themselves in court.
Specifically regarding defamation, Google said it was impossible to sue for defamation on behalf of someone, Muhammad, who died so long ago.
Finally, several times Google hammered home the point that Google Israel did not control YouTube and that even if the petitioners won the case, they would not get what they wanted, since Google would not have the power to force YouTube to block the video.
The petitioners rejected Google's technical argument about lack of control of YouTube, noting that in several other countries the video was blocked on YouTube when objecting parties turned to Google.
The petitioners' full demands had been that Google take down the video, prevent future publicizing of the film and block all access to the film in Israel.
In their petition, they had characterized the film as abusing freedom of speech, saying it violated the image of the prophet in a racist manner while trampling his sanctity and desecrating his name.
Among other things, the petition had noted that the video characterized Muhammad as a pedophile who encouraged his followers to have sexual relations with minors.
According to the petitioners, the publication constituted incitement to racism against Muslims in violation of Article 144 of the Penal Code, violated the religious feelings of Muslims in contravention of the code's Article 173, and was defamatory according to the 1965 Defamation Law.
About 20 political and religious leaders accompanied a- Sanaa to the courtroom.
"Islam is a religion of love, living together like brothers, and good livelihood. It's lies what they said, and anyone who said anything bad about Muhammad needs to have their tongue cut out," said Zatmi Ali, one of the supporters of the ban.
Zeidan Badran, the head of the Basma village local council in Wadi Ara and one of the petitioners named in the court document, said that he was worried about violence from Egypt and Libya spreading to Israel and the Palestinian territories as a result of the movie. He said he would urge the entire Arab world to boycott Google for 30 days to show the power of their numbers.
Both sides asked to respond further to the arguments made in court.
The court gave Google until September 30 to respond, the petitioners until October 9 to respond, and scheduled the next hearing for October 15.

NASA Observes Unprecedented Meltdown of Greenland Ice Surface
July's record-breaking heat has hit Greenland so hard that almost all surface ice cover has melted at twice the pace than usual.
Three NASA satellites observed that Greenland, this year, had unprecedented meltdown over a widespread area for four days starting from July 8. According to the report, this is the largest meltdown noticed in more than 30 years of satellite observations.
"This was so extraordinary that at first I questioned the result: was this real or was it due to a data error?" said Son Nghiem of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who first observed the incident, in a press release.
Nghiem then cross-checked with Dorothy Hall at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. They studied the surface temperature of Greenland using the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites and finally confirmed the results.
"The melting spread quickly. Melt maps derived from the three satellites showed that on July 8, about 40 percent of the ice sheet's surface had melted. By July 12, 97 percent had melted," reports NASA.
"Ice cores from Summit show that melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average. With the last one happening in 1889, this event is right on time," says Lora Koenig, a Goddard glaciologist and a member of the research team analyzing the satellite data. "But if we continue to observe melting events like this in upcoming years, it will be worrisome."
Scientists, however, have not confirmed whether the melting is an outcome of global warming or is natural.
