In Reply to: Foothill Game 8 Over/Under Bets posted by West Ranch Rulz on February 03, 2017 at 13:39:23:
: Okay, kinda tired of the point spreads so let's look at the over/under bets tonight:
: Hart vs West Ranch - Take the Over 3 1/2 that Hart gets that baseline backdoor cut for a layup vs an over agressive WR man D. Take the Under 2 for Shanty James 2nd half adjustments that actually work. Hart Wins.
: GV vs Saugus - Take the over 4 (as in 4 minutes into game) for Milan to show up. Take the under 4 on Mcintyre missed 3s for the game. Saugus wins. Coach Carter watching season slip slide away.....
: Canyon vs Valencia - Phillips vs his protege....a true battle of wits? Take over 3 missed phone calls from canyon admin to phillips cell phone during the game asking for advice on who to interview next year. Take the under 5 on Canyon timeouts taken by Dunhowlandy after Canyon made buckets that kill any momentum....Valencia wins.
Another daddy of a spoiled and entitled WR kid. Say hi to Shant for me, asshat

Clever baby

Sophie is smart for a just turned two year old.
She asked for a biscuit. I gave her one. Having got lucky the first time she decided to up the stakes and demanded two!
"OK," I said. I took the biscuit back and, turning round slightly so she couldn't see, broke it in half. I turned back round, handed the pieces to her and said, brightly "There, two biscuits!"
She examined them intently, frowning. Then she fixed me with a baleful glare and announced the verdict.
"That's one!" she said, her voice loaded with barely disguised contempt.
I gave in. I gave her another biscuit for being so clever.
She paused momentarily then gazed up at me.
"Three mummy?"

I can't wait until you continue. Sorry I didn't get your response to my story until now but I really hope you continue. I love that you have it in Jim Plarity's POV, and I love him already! :)
| A1Shurn chapter 2 . 6/13/2012
Holy crap, this us brilliant! The only thing that I didn't like was that you repeated yourself a lot. The second time, I can understand was for dramatic effect, but it was a little much. Other than that, brilliant idea, and please continue asap!
| Tuorp chapter 1 . 5/24/2012
You think you're crap at writing and you're not so shut up.
Don't even know what LA Noire is but this is so good.
| A Resistor chapter 2 . 4/13/2012
Yet another astonishing chapter Nollac, I loved the little bit of sarcasm: catching his breath after his 'long' five metre run
It adds character to these kind of stories, I can't wait to see why Harry was in L.A. I wonder if dearest brother Harry had anything to do with Marie's death? I guess I'll have to wait and find out...
| A Resistor chapter 1 . 4/11/2012
An impressive start Nollac. Personally, I thought James would have stepped in with Winston's little rant, ah well, I suppose cops can't intervene with everything. You presented it in a way that kept me from wandering away from the word I was reading, which is what I do a lot with stories. I wonder who this 'Mysterious Man' is? Anyways, I'm sure you've had enough of me typing like this.
Conclusion: Great first chapter, presented well, no spelling mistakes spotted and great grammar. I hope to see more!

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 12 reviews
This was a single night stay for our 3rd year anniversary. This hotel gave us an upgrade at check-in, and it made a great impression on us. We had a really nice spacious balcony, and spacious room, not to mention a very clean and spacious bathroom. Everything about the room seemed really well-thought out, such as the design layout in the bathroom, the size of the chairs, and table in the sitting area of the room. The spa, and massage menu were plentiful, but not so many choices you get lost in them and can't decide. The facilities was also very clean. The thermal bath was nice. Service. The service at Il Moresco was paramount to making our experience an enjoyable one. Everything we asked of the staff was taken care of, from asking for an extra pair of bedroom slippers when they got wet, and they brought 2 pairs when we only needed one, to helping us with arranging our return by buying us tickets which benefitted us more than we realized, etc.,

Bankers are more likely to give to charity if you give them a packet of sweets, according to research by the Government's team tasked with changing the way we behave.
The Behavioural Insights Team tried various approaches to persuade investment bankers to donate a day's salary to charity.
They included a personalised email from the chief executive, a visit from a celebrity, being greeted by a volunteer and handing out a small packet of sweets.
The team found that the personalised email and the packet of sweets, which aimed to induce reciprocity, were the most powerful interventions - together boosting the proportion of participants donating from 5 per cent to 17 per cent.
The findings were part of the latest report by the Government's behavioural psychology team, which is having an increasingly influential role with ministers in a range of different areas.
From increasing charitable giving, reducing tax fraud and redesigning parts of the benefits system to increase incentives to find work, the so-called "nudge theory" is being used to encourage people to change their behaviour and help the Government meet its goals.
It was set up five years ago, making Britain one of the first countries in the world to embrace nudge theory.
Ministers are also intending to expand its remit into some of the most controversial areas of Government policy, using it to identify the most effective measures the Government can take to encourage illegal migrants to leave the UK and countering Islamic extremism.
Here are examples of five other changes in behaviour the team discovered after small changes to processes.
Misread prescriptions are one of the biggest causes of avoidable harm to patients. So working with Imperial College Hospital the unit redesigned prescription charts used by clinicians to record prescriptions.
Rather than allowing doctors to write dosages by hand, the new forms made them to circle which dose applied - to reduce the number of illegibly-filled forms where it's hard to decipher microgram vs milligrams.
Results showed that under the old forms 3/100 doses were incorrectly entered but with the new forms this was reduced to zero.
Swapping energy supplier or tariff is one of the best the ways for consumers to reduce their bills – but most people still don't do it.
To try and address this, the team devised a message that was printed on the back of envelopes sent to millions of elderly winter fuel allowance recipients. The message said: "Many people save up to £200 on their energy bills by switching tariff. Visit www.goenergyshopping.co.uk"
As a result, the number of people visiting the site increased by 20 per cent.
How do you inspire teenagers to think about going to university when worries about debt get so much national attention?
A trial was set up in 39 schools in Somerset to test different approaches. This found that when students received a talk - emphasising the lifestyle benefits of university - this had a significant effect on increasing students' likelihood of applying to university. However, those who received written information about the benefits of university education they were significantly less likely to want to apply.
Avon and Somerset Police asked BIT to help find new ways to increasw force diversity.
Their analysis found there was a disproportionate drop in Black and Minority Ethnic applicants passing one particular test in the process of becoming a police officer.
BIT adjusted a reminder that applicants saw before taking the test asking them to consider what becoming a police officer would mean to them and their community. This simple intervention increased the probability of a BME applicant passing the test by 50 per cent - closing the gap in performance between BME and white applicants.
In the UK, most people pay their taxes. The same is not true in Guatemala. In fact, there, tax revenue as a proportion of GDP is just 11.9 per cent compared to 39 per cent in the UK.
The unit trialled sending letters that warned recipients not paying their tax would be seen as an intentional and deliberate choice rather than oversight.
After 11 weeks the amount of tax paid by those who got the amended letters was $24.62 compared to just $6.82 from those to whom the standard letter was sent.Reuse content

Love kills.
In his case, it's taking entirely too much time.
When he first saw her, he was the clown. The one with the overly flexible face and the overwide mouth that seemed forever stretched into a grin.
He thought girls were icky. She thought boys were dumb and told him so, and then told him again every day in case he tried to forget.
In those days she liked Orochimaru more than him.
They only became friends when their life turned into a bloody blur of rivalry and death that shaped him into a naked blade, polished and sharp, and her into a lioness with boundless energy and an unquenchable thirst for life. Ever changeable, he became a lion then, all sinuous muscle and curving lines of power under perfect control. Even his hair was lion-like, a long white mane that whipped around him in his pretty dance of death.
But she never allowed the beautiful deadly thing to replace the childish prankster of her memories, choosing instead to snip away at her heart little by little with gentler loves and the sharper aches of losses that weren't quite enough to destroy her.
And now that it's nearly too late he is the clown again, an old fool who wears his age and his sadness on the inside, an ugly lining to a cloak of boisterous laughter and lecherousness. It's only when he writes that it slips off his shoulders, leaving him bare and as sharp as he always was. He can only bear to be a man again for little stretches of time, but then he portrays the happiness he never had in an abstract tangle of limbs and desires and unfullfilled aches.
The women are all her, too pretty, too violent and too blind. The men are less than he was but more than he is now, and they always get what he never did.
A chance.

Poplar Island (British Columbia)
Poplar Island is an uninhabited island located at the east end of the North Arm of the Fraser River in the City of New Westminster,[1] British Columbia. It is the last large undiked island in the Fraser River's North Arm.
In 1879, the federal government allocated three reserves to the New Westminster Indian Band, including 27 acres (110,000 m2) on Poplar Island.[2] A smallpox epidemic devastated the local people, known as the Qayqayt after the name of their main village on the east bank of the Fraser,[3] reducing the band members from about 400 people to under 100. Many of the remaining inhabitants of Qayqayt were assimilated into other local reserves, such as the neighbouring Musqueam Indian Band. Their reserve on Poplar Island was turned into an Aboriginal smallpox victim quarantine area. For decades, the Poplar Island reserve was designated as belonging to "all coast tribes".[4]
In 1916 the remaining land on Poplar Island was turned over to the BC Government.[4] During World War I the New Westminster Construction and Engineering Company built both a massive shipyard on the island and a bridge connecting it to New Westminster. During the war years, hundreds of workers built, among other things, four warships for the government of France.[4] Ship launching ways are still visible on the island's upriver end.[5]
In 1936, the bridge gave out but by then, only fisheries warden William Albert Bowcott and his family lived on the island, and in 1945 the island was bought by New Westminster, which immediately sold it to Rayonier Canada, a forest company that used the island mainly as an anchorage for its log booms. Over the years, the trees grew back.
The B.C. government included the island in its "nature legacy" program in 1995, and it was to be held by the Metro Vancouver's park department as a strictly protected nature reserve, in perpetuity.[4] The Qayqayt First Nation, a "revived" band government, is trying to regain control of the island to reinstate it as a landbase (it currently is the only chartered First Nations government in Canada with no land base).

Saturday, May 6, 2017 – 7:30 pm
Based on the novel by Pulitzer and Nobel-Prize-winning author John Steinbeck, the opera tells the story of two migrant farm laborers moving from place to place in California's Central Valley looking for work during the Great Depression. Written in 1969 by renowned American composer Carlisle Floyd, the opera features folk song references, open harmonies and poignant melodies. Written at a time when most composers were deeply entrenched in the experimentalism of the avant garde, Floyd's music bucks the trend and provides the listener with such tonal and lyric music that the piece has been referred to as one of the first American verismo operas in the repertoire.
The performance of this opera will accompany an exhibit exploring the history of migrant workers and the growth of agriculture in the Central Valley during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Music and Libretto by Carlisle Floyd (b. 1926)
Based on the novel by John Steinbeck (1902-68)
Sung in English with English surtitles
Conducted by Ryan Murray
Director TBA
Cast TBA
Company and Central Valley Premiere

Scores of people have been gathering around the glass- fronted cabinets under a huge billboard for luxury villas and a sign reading, 'Let the world get to know Chengdu'. The cabinets exhibit photographs of criminals and the punishments they have undergone.
Two pictures are particularly disturbing. In one, a score of men squat with signs around their necks, bearing their names and alleged crimes. In the other, a line of convicted criminals, each flanked by a uniformed policeman, stands in the huge Chengdu sports stadium. They have just been sentenced to death before thousands of spectators. The photograph was taken on 10 September. The prisoners were almost certainly shot later that day.
Economic reform in China has created a widening wealth gap, a mobile, often poverty- stricken rural population, and a jump in crime and corruption. And as crime rises, so does use of the death penalty, according to Amnesty International.
Public exhibition and punishment of criminals is nothing new in China. But at a time when Sichuan is striving to attract Western investment, it is surprising to find provincial authorities flaunting pictures they would prefer to hide from foreigners. The photographs are for local consumption, partly as a deterrent, but also because most Chinese approve of such campaigns. 'Our way works better than those of other countries,' said one man.
Despite the meeting in Seattle this weekend between presidents Jiang Zemin and Bill Clinton, human rights remain the biggest stumbling block to better Sino-American relations. The rights debate focuses mostly on a large number of high- profile, political and religious detainees: Asia Watch, the New York-based human rights group, has just published a damning report on nearly 240 people detained or tried in China this year. Last week, two people who published a 'Peace Charter' were held in Peking.
But Chinese human rights abuses are also rife at a more mundane level. During anti- crime drives, such as the one in Chengdu, summary prosecution, imprisonment without trial and an absence of defence lawyers are the norm. About 50 crimes carry the death penalty.
The campaigns are a constant source of concern to human rights groups. Robin Munro, at Asia Watch in Hong Kong, says: 'Whenever they have one, the number of executions increases, and the trial standards plummet. The official party policy is, 'Try them quickly, and punish them severely'. The already truncated trial procedures are cut to a minimum. The defendant's rights are reduced to virtually nothing. The likelihood of wrongful execution soars.' He might have added that the appeal process is virtually non-existent.
Death penalty figures are kept secret. Amnesty attempts to collate the Chinese press reports of executions; its figures are likely to be an underestimate, but they give a sense of the trend. In 1990, 980 death sentences were recorded; in 1991, 1,650; in 1992, 1,890. And in the first five months of this year, 300 executions - not just sentences - were carried out.
A quick scan of newspaper cuttings reveals reports of 169 executions in September. Earlier this month, for instance, the Hubei Daily reported that a few days previously 60 people had been executed in the province, after being sentenced at public meetings in 11 cities for murder, 'trading in people' (slave-trading), rape, theft of electrical equipment, destruction of farm produce and train robbery; and several show trials of corrupt cadres and financial officials had been held.
The number of executions for economic rather than violent crime is also up. The president of the Supreme People's Court, Ren Jianxin, is reported to have told the local courts earlier this year: 'For those people of extremely bad nature that must be killed, we must steadfastly sentence them to death in accordance with the law, and must never have a soft hand.'
According to the placards in the glass-fronted cabinets, the Chengdu campaign began 'with nearly 60,000 policemen and the masses uniting to take action', and about 2,000 alleged serious criminals were caught. Some photographs showed guns, weapons, drugs, pornographic videos and ill- gotten money collected in various hauls; others showed four rapists with their heads bowed, bicycle thieves, alleged prostitutes and a gambling table.
China's provincial media faithfully record gruesome crimes. A Kunming truck driver hit two students, promised to take them to hospital, but dumped one and buried the other alive; a Jiangxi employee was raped and burnt by her factory manager while police refused to help; a Henan farm wife forced an 11-year-old boy to drink poison for stealing a few eggs. Gangs storming through trains, robbing and raping, is a common theme. Vice-related crime is also surging: this month Guangdong province reported that police had closed 2,500 brothels.
Throughout the week I was in Chengdu, the information cabinets seemed always to have an audience of several citizens (far more than were bothering with the photographs at the other end of the row, showing pictures of a local beauty school). The viewers seemed to be fascinated and approving.
The 10 September sentencing attracted the largest public audience in the city for years. 'Anyone can go,' said one man who attended. 'And you don't need tickets.'

Very nice set!
I really like this set, it went beautifully with my room - the only issue is while I love the fact it is a duvet set and I can take it off and wash it, the more I wash it the more I see it starting to come apart in certain areas. I wash it on delicate and usually only once every two weeks (I have dogs and they sleep on the bed) and I've had it now for a few months and there are only a few (unseen) areas that are slightly fraying. I still think it's a nice set and I'm glad I purchased it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Fairly similar
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. It's not the best quality - but you get what you pay for, and as long as you don't mistreat it...it's fine.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Near perfect

Rugby League has been getting a good press lately, and so it should. Most of the games leading up to the Grand Final have been superb entertainment and have contained a try-scoring quality that the bogged-down union club game can only envy.
Rugby League has been getting a good press lately, and so it should. Most of the games leading up to the Grand Final have been superb entertainment and have contained a try-scoring quality that the bogged-down union club game can only envy.
Some wise and experienced union men have observed all this with a certain amount of jealousy. Jack Rowell, the Bath stalwart and former England coach, and Leicester's Dean Richards have both been impressed enough to declare that the games could merge in the near future.
Leicester's chairman, Peter Tom, agrees, and his club - bastions of the union game that they are - are weighing up the feasibility of housing both games under one roof at Welford Road. League in summer and union in winter - all-year rugby culminating in the two games blending into one. A lovely dream for some, but utterly unrealistic.
I'm all for Leicester running a team in each code. That is a commercial idea that could work. But a merger between the two? That is an impossibility in the foreseeable future.
I've played both and I love them both, but they have so many deep differences that can't be settled without both codes making huge concessions. The diehard fans on either side certainly wouldn't stand for it and would most probably discover an increased liking for football.
I can see what brings people to the merger conclusion. Facets of the league game, not to mention players and coaches, have infiltrated the union code and have improved certain parts of it. But that is as far as it goes. The games remain fundamentally different, so which is going to give way on what? Is union going to surrender line-outs? Is it going to bid goodbye to rucks, mauls and real scrums? Is league going to abandon the play-the-ball and guaranteed possession through the six-tackle rule? And how many players per side would there be? There are a few peace problems going on in the world today that are a lot easier to solve than finding a unified rugby game that would be acceptable to everyone.
Once professionalism hit union and the barriers dividing the codes were broken down it was inevitable the games would get closer. But I was the first to jump the chasm from both sides and I can testify how difficult it was to make the transition and to bring ideas from one code into the other.
Because league had been professional for so long, it was inevitable that it would have more to teach union than vice-versa. Training methods were one area and, more recently, defence was another. Union has learned a great deal about tackling and defensive alignment from league; so much so that defensive superiority has become a match-winner.
What isn't understood is that only half the lesson has been learned. Union has now got to copy how to get through those defences. League attackers can break down league defences, so why can't their counterparts in union?
It is not quite as simple as that, of course. In league the attack and defence lines are always 10 yards apart. In union, the lines are so flat it is never as much as that. And, don't forget, union has two extra players on the field and, given that one player covers 10 yards, that's 20 extra yards covered.
Talking about the number of players per team, in any merger it would be logical tofollow the league's move to 13 to relieve congestion on the field. But if you had to reduce the union's 15, which positions would you cut? It has to be the wing-forwards. But if you look at the main strength of a successful union team it is usually in the wing-forwards. So where else would you cut?
The answer is that you leave the both codes alone until that far-distant date when they may merge naturally. In the meantime, I'm more worried about the threat of union power. Three top league players, Jason Robinson, Fereti Tuilagi and Apollo Perelini, are about to join union clubs. That's not a healthy trend for league. Its more like murder than merger.Reuse content

New Labour reform will continue well after Tony Blair has left Downing Street, the Prime Minister made clear as he warned his party that a shift to the left would be the "fastest route" to take Labour out of power.
Mr Blair gave his clearest endorsement yet of Gordon Brown as his successor, but insisted that he aimed to take reforms of public services "to the next level". Despite threatened revolts by Labour backbenchers over education and health reforms during the coming months, Mr Blair insisted that a lurch to the left would not help combat the resurgent threat of the Conservatives under their new leader, David Cameron.
He urged his party to "relax" about the new Tory leader, and warned MPs advocating a return to traditional Labour policies: "I'd say if you want the fastest route to opposition, that's the way to do it."
The Prime Minister told the BBC's Sunday AM programme: "What we should be saying is it's great, New Labour ideas are in the ascendant, the other political parties are having to work out how they stand in relation to what we've done.
"What is therefore our position? Our position is to hold absolutely firm to that New Labour centre ground and build on it so by the time the Conservative Party have caught up with the last bit of change we've made, we're already on to the next bit of change, and we're setting the agenda there."
The Prime Minister used the interview at the start of the new parliamentary year to reassure backbench critics of his education reforms that he remained opposed to academic selection in schools. He attacked the Conservatives for promoting academic selection and insisted that Labour would not return to the 11-plus.
He said: "The dividing line in this is the Conservatives are saying you can bring back the 11-plus if you want to, which I think would be a totally regressive and retrograde move."
Mr Cameron will attempt to sidestep Mr Blair's attack by launching a campaign today to promote setting by ability within schools. He will use the publication of his education policy to focus on ways of improving standards in all schools, arguing that an extension of setting could give children a greater chance of achieving. Only 55 per cent of secondary English lessons and 80 per cent of maths lessons are taught in sets.
Mr Blair also went out of his way to praise a string of rising stars within the Government - known as the Primrose Hill Set - as key figures in the party's future. He praised David Miliband, the minister in charge of the Government's "respect" policies, and Douglas Alexander, the minister for Europe. But he also pointed to up and coming Blairite ministers, Andy Burnham, James Purnell and Pat McFadden, as well as former Brown aides Ed Balls and Ed Miliband.
The Prime Minister made it clear Mr Brown's experience and stature within the Government made him uniquely qualified to take over the reigns of power when he steps down. Mr Blair said: "There is not doubt in my mind that new Labour will continue and will continue well after I have gone. I have absolutely no doubt about that. It is sometimes said that Gordon is, you know, not New Labour, he is old Labour, he is a roadblock to reform. It is complete nonsense. He is completely and totally on the same lines as me."
Mr Blair is to launch the Government's national "respect" action plan tomorrow, aimed at cutting down on anti-social behaviour. The action plan will include plans for a national parenting academy to improve the training of staff who work with parents, such as social workers and psychologists.
Councils, police and other bodies will be required to hold regular face-to-face meetings with the public and local people will be given new rights to force local authorities to take action against persistent anti-social behaviour.Reuse content

Misfired Hamas Rocket Kills 10 Children-
Original post made by Hamas Tries to Blame Israel, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Aug 24, 2014
Web Link
Lynne Coates: Why Hamas are winning propaganda war in Gaza
THE resumption of hostilities between Hamas and Israel will, no doubt, result in more appalling scenes of carnage in Gaza. No right-minded person can fail to be affected by the tragic images of dead and injured children, graphically displayed on TV and in the press. Yet, as a photo-journalist, I question the veracity of the media coverage of this conflict.
The spectacle of throngs of international media, jostling for the most advantageous position to film and photograph injured or dead children, is both distasteful and disrespectful.
How do they know where to be and when, in order to capture those images, and how do they get there? Gaza is a theatre of war. Unless they know in advance where and when a bomb is going to fall, how can they be at the target site immediately after or, in some cases, before the attack takes place?
The answer has now been well-documented. Hamas deliberately fire rockets from populated areas, mosques, schools and hospitals, in the knowledge that Israel will respond to destroy the rocket launchers. Therefore, Hamas can direct the media to the location from which they have fired rockets, knowing full well the carnage that will follow.
By using this strategy, they manipulate the world's press. This is how Hamas conduct their war. It is the duty of journalists to witness and report factual information, and to be fair and accurate. How can they report fairly when they are led by events that are clearly orchestrated for their benefit?
Indian television channel NDTV filmed Hamas firing rockets into Israel from a populated residential area next to their hotel. They are to be commended for their courage and for getting that film aired on TV. After they had safely left Gaza, the reporter, Jain Sreenivasan, wrote an article in which he asked: "How long do we self-censor because of the fear of personal safety,in return for not telling a story that exposes how those launching rockets are putting so many more lives at risk, while the rocket-makers themselves are at a safe distance?"
The FPA (Foreign Press Association) reported that many foreign journalists in Gaza have been harassed, threatened or questioned.
They also revealed that Hamas have put in place a "vetting" procedure that would allow for the blacklisting of specific journalists.
French-Palestinian journalist Radjaa Abou Dagga wrote in an article for French newspaper Libération about how he was "detained and interrogated" by members of Hamas's al-Qassam Brigade in a room in Shifa hospital and was forced to leave Gaza immediately without his papers. Similarly, John Reed of the Financial Times was reportedly threatened after he tweeted about rockets being fired from the same hospital.
Gabriele Barbati, an Italian reporter, refuted the Hamas version of an incident which killed 10 children. According to Mr Barbati, a misfired Hamas rocket was responsible, and militants "rushed and cleared debris". The Palestinian version of events, blaming Israel, was broadcast by all major media outlets. Mr Barbati's version was suppressed. Journalists in Gaza are not allowed free access. They are herded around from bomb site to hospital, stage managed and directed.
Hamas ensures that reporters are exposed to maximum casualties by insisting interviews only take place in the courtyard of the Al-Shifa hospital. In some cases bomb sites are used to provide PR opportunities. Sudarsan Raghavan, of the Washington Post, described how he was taken to photograph a mosque that had been bombed and it was obvious that someone had "prepared" the scene by placing a prayer mat and burnt Koran pages, too perfectly, with obvious symbolism. It was easily spotted by a TV crew who filmed it.
Despite reports that Israel hit 1,678 rocket launching facilities, 191 weapons facilities, 977 command centres, and 32 tunnels, there was little footage of those facilities. Given the huge numbers of press in Gaza (an estimated 700) this exposes the prejudiced portrayal of the conflict. The tragedy is that the more complicit the media is with Hamas, the more that Hamas continues to sacrifice the lives of innocent civilians.
Hillary Clinton said in a recent interview that Gaza has been "effectively stage-managed" by Hamas, and that the PR battle is one that is historically tilted against Israel. Many of us are guilty of forming opinions based on sensational headlines, and no other country comes under such intense media attention as Israel. The relentless publication of graphic imagery from Gaza is having dire consequences for Jewish communities throughout Europe, with the exponential growth in anti-Semitic incidents.
However, it would be naïve to imagine that supporting Hamas in Gaza will only harm the Jews. Siding with one terrorist group will serve to empower others. Journalists in war zones have a greater moral responsibility, both to act as witness and to report with integrity and honesty. In the 21st century it is the media that has the ammunition to fight terrorism – let us hope they are brave enough to use it wisely.

Even when the articles clearly show the target is Hamas rocket launchers,
the only picture seems to be of crying women or kids.
How about printing pictures of the damaged rocket launchers,
with the masked terrorists killed before they could run into a school or neighborhood?
Often the rockets not yet fired explode, and harm anyone near.
If AP is being manipulated, it's because they want to be.
Human shields: Hamas HeadQuarters is inside the main hospital.

These are the same people who danced in the streets after the Twin Towers were hit by airplanes hijacked by arabs, and 3000 plus innocent civilians who were just going to work were killed.
Hamas keeps them in line with threats and terror, and tries to get them to stay and be injured when Hamas uses their neighborhood as a rocket launching site.

"hijacked by arabs?"
then jews in germany were killed by whites?
and Oklahoma city bombing was caused by whites?

A pox on both their houses.
Hamas is a tiny, hateful minority. And to call what Israel is doing self-defense is like saying that drag racing is really defensive driving.

Dear No Racism-
You are right.
Not all Arabs are terrorists, even those that support them.
The statement should have read:
"These are the same people who danced in the streets after the Twin Towers were hit by airplanes hijacked by arab terrorists, and 3000 plus innocent civilians who were just going to work were killed."
Oh, and the same kind of Terrorists have hijacked the Religion of Peace.

Oh, okay. Kinna like how Americans watched on tv with proud patriotism when US military invaded Iraq, bombing innocents along the way. You know, doing militant Americanism and Christianity, the religion that cultivates Christian soldiers who worship a genocidal god who turns cities into salt and floods the earth because certain human beings offend him.

Dear racist, you are so right (but not in the good way). The Congress voted to go into Iraq to remove the dictator who was gassing Kurds by the thousands. But, why get involved in yet another humanitarian mission, kinda like that one Obama is messing with in Iraq where religious minorities are being slaughtered. Nope, let em all die because they aren't american atheists or religious bigots like you.

Someone's forgetting about how George W. Bush lied to Congress in order to get their support for his unjust war. That there remain idiots among us who forget/deny the truth of US massacre of thousands of Iraqi innocents speak to the power of religion. The same buffoon would probably attempt to argue that god did not commit genocide when he turned a city into salt or when he covered the world in a great deluge, saving only Noah and all the animals.
Had gassed v. was gassing. A rather huge distinction, as it turned out, though lost upon Mr. Scrambled Eggs.

Racist, thanks again for your prescient insight. I had forgotten how easily the Congress was fooled and how they ignored the pleas of bleating atheists across the country. I'm certain that all you anti religious zealots would last about an hour in Iraq, so maybe you should just get a grip and own the problems you think you have no responsibility for.
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows

Wish I could thank you for providing us with some insight, but of course you'd have to provide some basis for such.
G.W. Bush controlled the information on Iraq and lied to Congress about it. Still, a good number of the Senate -- mostly Dems -- were skeptical and voted against waging the large-scale massacre that eventually took place.
I've made no claims about atheism, as you have wrongly attributed to me. Rather, I stated that BOTH Islam and Christianity (and its Judeo beginnings) are violent religions. I would invite the "god" of neither religion to break bread at my family residence.
I forgive you your misreading, as it has become well established that your reading and comprehension skills are sorely lacking.

The fighting has clearly had tragic consequences.
I remain hopeful that there will be a period of peace so that people can recover somewhat from that they have suffered. The human suffering enormous.
May there someday be a lasting peace.

If Hamas and Fatah would Stop Fighting, there would be peace.
If the Israelis stopped fighting, they'd all be murdered,
and the Arab Terrorists would continue to fight among themselves.
Here's an article about the latest ceasefire:
Web Link
and how the Arabs hope to get over $5 million for "reconstruction."
This is the 10th cease-fire in the latest military confrontation between Israel and Hamas.

Yep, if only Hamas and Fatah would lay down their arms, then Israel would give back the lands it has taken, the settlements it occupies, and it would tear down the walls and fences it has constructed to create an apartheid order. Yep, if only those pesky Hamas and Fatah types would adjust to the magnanimity of Israeli occupation. Duh!!!! Why didn't I think of that before?????

This was to pay for peace.
But the arabs don't want responsibility, free reign and their own government.
They want it all From the River to the Sea.

There is joke that illustrates the absurdity of it all.
"The Prime Minister of Israel sits down with Chairman Arafat at the beginning of negotiations regarding the resolution of the conflict. The Prime Minister requests that he be allowed to begin with a story. Arafat replies, "Of course."
The Prime Minister begins his story: "Years before the Israelites came to the Promised Land and settled here, Moses led them for 40 years through the desert. The Israelites began complaining that they were thirsty and, lo and behold, a miracle occurred and a stream appeared before them. They drank their fill and then decided to take advantage of the stream to do some bathing -- including Moses. When Moses came out of the water, he found that all his clothing was missing.
"Who took my clothes?" Moses asked those around him.
"It was the Palestinians," replied the Israelites--
"Wait a minute," immediately Arafat stood up and loudly objected, that is absurd how can you blame this on them, "there were no Palestinians during the time of Moses!"
"All right," replied the Prime Minister, "Now that we've got that settled, let's begin our negotiations."
a resident of Foothill Farms
on Aug 28, 2014 at 9:56 am
Oh, ha ha ha ha. Why didn't I realize this? It's because of settlement (sort of) thousands of years ago that Israel is able to justify forceful land grabs, expanded settlements, an enduring apartheid regime, and kill rates at over 100 to 1 against those who pose an obstacle. Ha ha ha. Too funny. Really.

Sorry, Scrambled Eggs, but Israel did not give away Gaza. Wrong again. As per usual, you are very confused -- a serious affliction -- especially when you so frequently purport to assert something. This must end our discussion, as I might find greater intellectual challenge from an ant.

Two Reasons the Hamas rocket killed 10 children:
1. They were firing it from near the children.
Maybe a school, or a residential neighborhood- trying to use the children as human shields,
or more concerned with publicity that the children's very lives.
Then, when it blew up, they tried to blame the tragic results of their own actions on the Israelis.
2. They lack competence. It blew up because something went wrong.
Handled wrong or badly made.
Then Not Fooling- who may just be a fool - says
well they are so incompetent that their rockets are not effective,
and blames Israel for killing 100 to one.
Believe me, If they could they'd have more effective rockets.
He thinks it should be proportional! That would be fairer?
Killing innocents with rocket is not fair, even if you are not good at it.
These are the same people who convinced young men (and some ladies) that 76 virgins await them if they put on explosives and blow up school and commuter buses.
That's why there's a border fence- and it works.
And how is that fair to the 76 Virgins?
Is that proportional?

A.N: Okay guys, this is lemon number 3! I won't know if you like it or not unless you review! Please do! I've gotten ideas from other ScourgexSandstorm fanfics.
Sandstorm winced as a green twoleg monster flashed by drenching her in water. The ginger she-cat shook of the drops from her pelt and continued across the twoleg thunderpath. Not that it mattered, it was raining so hard Sandstorm could not see more then a few tail-lengths ahead of her. As she reached the far side of the thunderpath, she clawed her way to the top of a wooden twoleg fence and surveyed her surroundings.
Her target was not far, she had been this way several times before. Sandstorm had left the small twoleg dwellings at the edge of Thunderclan territory long ago. She was now moving between much larger twoleg dwellings and across many more Thunderpaths. But Sandstorm was determined, she would not falter from her goal. Sure of her route, the ginger she-cat sprang down from the fence and padded down one of the many abandoned alleys that littered throughout the twoleg place.
As she walked through the dark and pouring rain, Sandstorm found herself lost in memories. She recalled the first time she had laid eyes on the kittypet Rusty, now called Firestar. She remembered all the hunts and patrols they had shared, all the battles they had fought alongside one-another. The she cat even remembered, clear as day, the first time Firestar had told her he loved her. At this thought, her heart trembled. She violently shook her head to clear it and drove the image away.
It didn't matter anymore. Tomorrow, the clans would be done for. Scourge would lead his charges to attack the clans at Fourtrees. She knew Firestar would never leave the forest and would foolishly lead cats into battle against Bloodclan. He was leading them all to their deaths. She had noticed this on the first time she saw Scourge and knew it was hopeless to resist.
This is why she had gone "hunting" after the meeting and found Scourge deep in twoleg place. Scourge had received her with open paws and was eager for any information Sandstorm would divulge. Sandstorm told him everything she knew, from battle tactics to possible escape routes. Since then she had made several more trips into twolegplace to see Scourge.
For a moment an image of her clanmates popped into her head. She wondered what they would tell her...or do to her if they knew she was doing this, but she pushed the thought away. They're dead anyway, I'm not hurting them, she lied to herself. Sandstorm padded through several more allies and turned a corner before running into two large Bloodclan warriors. One was the Bloodclan deputy Bone. The other was a tabby she-cat she did not recognize. Both had teeth studded collars around their necks. Bone looked at her.
"Ah Bloodpelt, it's good to see you. Have any more information on those forest cats for us?" he mewed. Sandstorm nodded. Scourge had insisted on calling her Bloodpelt instead of Sandstorm. Not that she minded as long as she stayed on Scourge's good side.
"Good, now Throatslash, show Bloodpelt to Scourge's den" Bone responded. Sandstorm followed Throatslash down the ally to the twoleg dumpster that served as Scourge's den. Sandstorm squeezed underneath the shiny twoleg thing and sat next to Scourge who was waiting.
"Evening' Sandstorm. What news do you have for me?" he mewed. Sandstorm proceeded to tell the Bloodclan leader all she had learned today. Scourge listened intently, his ice-blue eyes never leaving the pretty she-cat before him. After a while, Sandstorm finished and, with a nod to Scourge, turned to leave.
"Wait, don't leave!" Scourge said quickly zipping in front of her. Sandstorm stopped.
"Why walk all the way back in the pouring rain? Stay in my den tonight, you'll be warm." Sandstorm bit her lower lip in thought. She knew Firestar would send search parties to look for her when she never returned from "hunting". But would Firestar really send searchers this far into Bloodclan territory? Never! She thought. Reluctantly, she nodded to Scourge.
"Okay," she mewed simply. She laid down under the dumpster with Scourge, thoughts and memories sweeping through her head like wind on the moors. Sandstorm was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't realize Scourge was talking.
"...and after we've driven them out, the forest will be ours. I will be leader, Bone will be deputy and...you'll be my mate." Sandstorm stiffened and her eyes widened. Scourge's mate? She had never anticipated this! While Sandstorm battled with her thoughts, the small black and white tom beside her began to rub his tail gently along her flank.
After a moment of that, his tail moved down to the underside of her body, rubbing gently. Sandstorm was so lost in her thoughts however, that she didn't realize what Scourge was doing to her until he gently rubbed the sensitive area between her hind legs. Sandstorm let out a gasp, part of shock, part of pleasure, and sprang up to her feet. Scourge purred, pleased with the reaction. He began to rub his flank against Sandstorm's as the ginger she-cat drew in shaky breaths.
I didn't know I would be Scourge's mate! Should I make run for it? she thought. But the thought was immediately discarded. There were Bloodclan warriors everywhere who would kill at Scourge's command. She would never make more then a fox-length anyway before Scourge caught her and ripped her open, just like he had Tigerstar. Sandstorm had no choice but to do as Scourge wished. I might even enjoy it she thought trying to convince herself. With that, Sandstorm slowly rolled over on her back, feeling very vulnerable as Scourge looked her over lustily.
Without a word, Scourge slowly started to lick her. His tongue trailed down her underside, heading straight for the area between her legs. But as he got closer, Scourge slowed down to an agonizingly slow pace. Sandstorm hissed in frustration. She wanted him to hurry up! Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Scourge licked the area that begged for attention. Sandstorm let out a loud yowl of pleasure, begging Scourge to go faster. Thankfully, he did. Scourge licked harder and harder as Sandstorm squirmed beneath him. After a few more hasty licks, Scourge climbed on top of Sandstorm and began to thrust his hips back and forth, hard.
Sandstorm let out a yowl as Scourge dug his re-enforced claws into her flanks. Sandstorm's head was starting to swim. Finally, Scourge was almost done. A moment before the final thrust, an image of Firestar moved into her head. No matter how Sandstorm tried, she couldn't drive the image away. What would Firestar think if he saw her now?
Her thoughts were interrupted as Scourge gave one final thrust and Sandstorm let out a yowl, part of pleasure and part pain. Sandstorm let out a series of pants as Scourge climbed off her. Once Sandstorm had caught her breath, she drew her tongue over her tired body to clean herself up. As she finished grooming herself, she turned to Scourge.
"Scourge I..." Sandstorm was interrupted as fierce battle yowls echoed around the ally. Both cats squeezed out from under the dumpster to see Bone running up.
"Scourge...the forest cats...were being attacked!" the deputy spit out. Sandstorm could see shapes of cats running down the ally in the pouring rain. Her stomach did flip-flops. Firestar had gathered up all the clans to search for her! As Scourge and Bone let out yowls and threw themselves into the fray, Sandstorm quickly slid out of sight behind the dumpster. She sat there panting and listening to the fighting going on around her. She had to get out of there! But before she could take a step, a large weight landed on her back. Letting out a yowl of surprise, she flipped over and kicked her attacker sending him sprawling. Sandstorm unsheathed her claws and stepped toward the enemy.
"Wait, Sandstorm it's me! Cloudtail!" Cloudtail yowled. Sandstorm let out a relived sigh and stepped back, letting the white tom up. Cloudtail looked at her.
"Sandstorm, thank Starclan you're alright! Firestar was so worried! Are you okay? What happened?" Sandstorm thought for a moment.
"I was ambushed and they brought me back here, but you guys showed up so they ran off and..." Sandstorm stopped in the middle of her lie. Cloudtail was staring at her with wide eyes. She knew why. She thought she had cleaned Scourge's scent off her after their "meeting". But it was on her so thick that Cloudtail could scent it even in the rain. Cloudtail's blue eyes were full of hurt.
"Oh Sandstorm...did you..." Cloudtail never got to finish his question. Sandstorm's claws flew forward and pierced his throat. As Cloudtail slumped forward to the ground, Sandstorm turned and ran as her blood soaked paws could carry her. I was never here she told herself. I was hunting near Fourtrees...
Time passes
It had been several moons since the attack on Bloodclan. Cloudtail had been the only casualty, mysterious murdered by an unknown Bloodclan warrior. Scourge had been killed in the fighting by Firestar and Bloodclan had broken up. Shadowclan was back in their own territory and all was well. Sandstorm soon found out she was pregnant and told Firestar that she was expecting his kits.
The Thunderclan leader was overjoyed, especially since his nephew had been murdered, he seemed depressed. Now he looked as if he could jump into the air and soar away with happiness. Sandstorm was currently in the nursery, giving birth.
"Come on Sandstorm, you can do it!" Firestar meowed encouragingly licking the top of her head. Sandstorm was in so much pain she couldn't see straight. Spasm after spasm racked her body until it was all over. Three squirming bundles lay next to her belly suckling. Sandstorm let out a drowsy purr. Then looked up expecting to see the happy face of Firestar, but saw none.
Firestar had a look of anger, all the coldness of Leafbare in his green eyes. Sandstorm looked at her kits, trying to find the problem. The first was a dark ginger she-cat. She looked at the next one. A tabby she-cat with a white chest and paws. What was Firestar angry about? Then she looked at the final kit. It was a small tom that looked exactly like Scourge. Sandstorm's eyes went wide in horror. There was no way she could hide what she had done now. She looked in Firestar's eyes hoping for the tiniest glint of mercy. She found none. Mating with Scourge had been a mistake.
A deadly mistake.

Advice to Management
I worked at Pacific Gas and Electric as an intern (Less than a year)
Because this company is very large, there are many possible departments and employees with whom one might collaborate. I was placed on an understaffed team, where my role as an intern took on the responsibilities of a full-time employee for the summer. As a senior with an anticipated December graduation, this was the best preparation I could have asked for a post-graduation entry-level position. As a summer intern, you are expected to grow and adapt quickly, but current employees and supervisors are more than willing to guide you. This is an internship that is definitely not for those looking for an easy experience.
Just like with any other company, the experience does heavily rely on which supervisor you get. Although my experience was great and challenging, other fellow interns with other departments were not as challenged because their supervisor assigned busy-work to them.

Restaurant City Releases Mexican Taqueria Expansion
Restaurant City's Japanese-themed updates finally concluded this week, replaced with another set of ethnic decorations and menu items. A large collection of Mexican Taqueria items are now available! What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
To kick things off, new starters, main dishes, and deserts have been added to the Restaurant City menu. Players can now learn, level-up, and serve Tostadas, Beef Enchiladas, and Mexican Flan. Only one of the three recipes requires beans. Who knew?
New indoor decorations include: Mexican Table, Cactus Chair, String of Chiles, Mexican Spice Rack, Cactus Juice, Cacti Jose, and a Tortilla Stove. The highlight of the new items is undoubtedly the fully-animated Mariachi band, though. The Los Santo Bros. (as Playfish calls them) cost an impressive 90,000 coins. In addition to just looking cool, they also raise customer patience by +1 second.
New outdoor decorations include a Sombrero Roof, an outdoor mariachi band, and Cactus Jose (Cacti Jose's brother perhaps?).
No word on whether this Mexican theme will carry over into next week like the Japanese theme did, but given that Cinco de Mayo isn't until next Wednesday, it seems like a pretty reasonable guess.
Hit the jump for an image gallery of all the new Mexican items.
