Syria's last trump card
"...Hizballah has also acted independently of Syrian and Iranian interests, not always responding to Syrian demands. As peace negotiations between Syria and Israel opened in early 1996, Syrian wishes to calm down the Israeli-Lebanese border were initially heeded by Hizballah, and the Syrian government even started to speak openly about dismantling Hizballah. Not long after, however, Hizballah reinitiated incursions across the blue line."
Since the start of the Iraq war, Syria has felt increasingly vulnerable and isolated. The country held its breath as US troops entered neighboring Iraq and neoconservatives focused in on Syria and Iran as possible targets in their plan to reform the Middle East. Then came the Israeli bombing of an alleged Palestinian training camp on Syrian territory in October, the breakdown of talks on the European Union Association Agreement due to the issue of weapons of mass destruction in December and finally the implementation of US sanctions in May. Earlier this month, Syria's decision to ram forth the extension of President Emile Lahoud's term led to the US-French backed UN resolution 1559, which is in essence a call on Syria to redeploy its 20,000 troops from Lebanon and end its influence there.
At the heart of sanctions currently placed on Syria is a US demand that Syria stop its support for Palestinian militant groups and for Hizballah. UN resolution 1559 also calls for the dismantling of Lebanese and non-Lebanese militia groups--an indirect reference to Hizballah's military arm.
Syria cannot afford to forego its relationship with Hizballah before it sees some tangible movement on the peace process with Israel. Hizballah is Syria's last strategic bargaining chip in its current struggle to regain the Golan Heights from Israel and to nudge the US into cooperation. Last month, Syria reiterated its support for Hizballah with its backing of Lahoud, who has refused to bend to international calls to dismantle the militant Shiite group over his last four years as president. Hizballah also asserted its presence when its Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah rejected resolution 1559, stating that the disarmament of militias would be equivalent to the disarmament of the resistance.
For almost 20 years, Hizballah has kept the 70-mile border between Lebanon, Israel and Syrian territory occupied by Israel, also known as the blue line, active. To varying degrees over that time, Syria has prodded Hizballah to increase or decrease its incursions across the border depending on its own strategic needs in its struggle with Israel. Hizballah, in turn, has frequently coordinated its attacks with Syrian interests in mind.
Syrian ties with Hizballah strengthened considerably in the early 1990s with the signing of the Taif Accords. But when Israel pulled out of South Lebanon in May 2000, Syria feared it could lose its trump card in its negotiations with Israel if the frontier quieted. But it didn't and the Shebaa Farms, a 15-square mile strip running along side Lebanon's southeast border with the Golan Heights, now remains the main means through which Hizballah continues to apply pressure on Israel.
It is difficult to assess Syria's role with Hizballah and its fight with Israel without mentioning Iran. In the Syrian-Iranian-Hizballah equation, Hizballah's leadership looks to the Velayet-e-Faqih Ayatollah Ali Khameini for spiritual guidance. He has often intervened in times of internal discord, such as in the aftermath of the Israeli withdrawal from the south when a disagreement arose within Hizballah's ranks on what its new role would be.
Hizballah depends on military training and equipment and receives some financial backing from Iran. Syria acts as the coordinator and facilitator--taking shipments through Syrian territory. One Syrian analyst described the relationship between the three as the following: if Iran is Hizballah's oxygen tank, Syria would be the air hose. How can Iran support Hizballah without Syria?
Nonetheless, Hizballah has also acted independently of Syrian and Iranian interests, not always responding to Syrian demands. As peace negotiations between Syria and Israel opened in early 1996, Syrian wishes to calm down the Israeli-Lebanese border were initially heeded by Hizballah, and the Syrian government even started to speak openly about dismantling Hizballah. Not long after, however, Hizballah reinitiated incursions across the blue line.
Nevertheless, Syrian-Iranian-Hizballah relations may very well grow stronger if the international climate surrounding the three intensifies. Repeated overtures by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to restart peace talks with Israel have thus far been rebuffed by the Israelis and the younger Assad is said to have even stronger ties to Hizballah than his father, Hafez al-Assad. Further discord could mean more cooperation between the three groups.
For now, Syria is trying to placate the United States and the international community. A recent visit by Assistant Under Secretary of State William Burns to Syria has resulted in further cooperation between Syria and the US over Iraq. What may help Syria is that the US needs both Syria and Iran to help stabilize Iraq.
A central question remains: how would peace between Syria and Israel affect Hizballah? Hizballah retains a strong constituency in the south of Lebanon and in the Bekaa Valley. There are 12 Hizballah MPs in the Lebanese parliament. And for Hizballah, the resistance goes beyond the Shebaa Farms to support of the Palestinian causes within the occupied territories. Even if Syria broke rank with Hizballah, it would still have popular backing and a cause. At most, it might be forced to undo its military wing or incorporate it into the larger Lebanese Army, possibly lending even more strength to Hizballah's legitimacy. In the end, for Lebanese Shiites and Lebanon in general, the party has become an active social and political player on the domestic scene, with or without Syrian support.

CHICAGO — Sales of fresh sliced apples increased 33% in the past five years — and that number doesn't even include sales reports from Wal-Mart, Costco and other retail giants.
That was among the many eye-opening statistics Tony Freytag, national marketing director for Cashmere, Wash.-based Crunch Pak, shared with attendees of the Vienna, Va.-based U.S. Apple Association's annual marketing conference Aug. 19.
Freytag opened his speech on the state of the sliced-apple industry with an explanation of his first PowerPoint slide, a constantly rising number that looked like a U.S. national debt ticker.
That's not the debt, Freytag assured attendees. It was the amount of sliced apples Crunch Pak has produced — 6 billion-plus and counting.
Freytag quickly made it clear, however, that not just his company is thriving. The most recent coup for the industry as a whole, he said, was McDonald's decision to put apple slices in all of its kids meals.
"We're very happy, and we don't even produce for McDonald's," he said. "A rising tide floats all boats."
Apple slices in all Happy Meals means increased consumer awareness, and that will translate into bigger sales at retail and other foodservice channels, Freytag said.
The sliced-apple category tallied about $122 million in sales last year, according to Nielsen data cited by Freytag. Add Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Costco and other retailers that don't share their numbers with Nielsen, Freytag said, and the number is closer to $200 million.
The average retailer now carries 7.8 sliced-apple stock-keeping units, up from 3.2 SKUs just a few years ago, Freytag said. As a result, the category is now a "real department" of its own within the produce department.
Looking ahead, Freytag advised sliced-apple marketers to directly engage consumers and to emulate the packaged-good purveyors that are the category's real competition.
"We have to be innovative, and the way to do that is to look just like center-of-the-store products," he said.

MILAN, Italy -- Planning is under way for next year's Venditalia international trade fair, which will be held at Fieramilaoncity here from May 9 through 12. The 2012 show will be the eighth for the biennial event.
Sponsored by Italy's vending trade association CONFIDA and now organized by Venditalia Servizi S.r.l., Venditalia has grown into a major international vending exposition. The 2010 show attracted 271 exhibiting companies from 14 countries, which occupied 20,000 square meters (nearly 215,300 square feet) of exhibit space. The show was visited by some 20,000 registrants, up 8% from attendance at the 2008 event.
CONFIDA -- originally the Confederazione Italiana Distribuzione Automatica -- was founded in 1979, and the Italian industry organized its first trade show in the same year. That event, MIDA (Mostra Italiana della Distribuzione Automatica), was reorganized and expanded as Venditalia in 1998. CONFIDA is a national member of the European Vending Association.
The organizers of the 2012 event report that the show will benefit from new pavilions that afford greater space for communication and ancillary activities.
Preliminary information on the 2012 show, including a map of the Fieramilanocity exhibition center, may be found at venditalia.com (Italian and English). Online registration will become available in September.

Sen. John McCain doesn't think Pentagon officials investigating military personnel involved in the prostitute scandal are being very forthcoming.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and McCain, the panel's ranking Republican, met with Pentagon officials today to discuss allegations of misconduct involving military personnel who were in Cartagena, Colombia, ahead of President Obama's visit earlier this month for the Summit of the Americas.
But McCain said the Pentagon officials seemed unprepared and provided "appallingly little new information" on the military investigation of 12 servicemembers who have been ensnared in the prostitution scandal.
"The Department of Defense briefers did not even know the date the president arrived or the name of the senior military commander on the ground in Cartagena," McCain said in a statement.
Much attention has been focused on the Secret Service. The agency moved to quickly oust nine agents, while three others implicated in the episode have been cleared of serious misconduct. But the investigation of the military personnel — who would face punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice — has moved along a slower pace.
McCain, a Navy veteran, said he understands the need to respect the troops rights under UCMJ, but he is still miffed with the substance of what the Defense Department has offered him thus far.
The senator from Arizona added: "We need to know the facts. We need to know the impact of this potential misconduct, which occurred less than a day, or perhaps hours, before the president arrived in Cartagena, on the performance of the military Joint Task Force charged with his security. Yet, we are being denied access to the information we need in order to make informed judgments or take needed actions. This is entirely unacceptable."
The Pentagon appeared to be trying to soothe the angry lawmaker late Wednesday.
"We recognize that Sen. McCain is seeking more information about allegations surrounding U.S. servicemembers in Cartagena, and we will continue to keep him and other members of Congress as informed as possible as the investigation proceeds," said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman.

text: What is his intended purpose? The way I see things is that there is no reason for a 338 Lapua unless you are going to use like it is supposed to be. The 300 win mag is very capable and can be used out to mile or better. However if you are looking really to stretch things out the 338 has a better selection of very high ballistic coefficient bullets available (mostly solids). So yes using more conventional swagged bullet designs the 300 win mag doesn't give up much to the Lapua. However when you start looking into getting the most out of the rounds then the Lapua wins hands down.

Get more Management Tips at lynda.com.
There are two types of overachievers. The first are those immensely talented people whose skills blow you away, but also tend to behave like divas. They can be demanding, condescending, and often rub people the wrong way. My advice? Get rid of them as quickly as possible! The chemistry of your team is far more important than a single member's talent.
The second type of overachiever has out-of-this-world skills and is also a good teammate. These are the real superstars: They appreciate others, enjoy building the team dynamic, and can communicate effectively. These overachievers can be as rare as unicorns, and when you find one, you have to give them proper attention. You don't want to focus so much on your "A+" players that you offend the other players on your team, but keep this in mind: The team members most able to leave and find better opportunities, even in a tough market, are your top performers. This week's first tip covers what you can do to keep those top players on your team.
In this week's second, member-only tip, we'll get even more specific about how to engage your future top performers, often referred to as "high potentials." Let these employees know where they stand, give them higher rewards, present them with better opportunities. Even though their expertise and skill may require more time to manage and more money to compensate, it's far more costly to lose them to your competition. Check out these tips to get an edge on retaining your best team members, and check back next week for another Management Tip.

It's his second go-round in the marriage department, and if Howard Stern's wedding is any indication of his love for new wife Beth Ostrosky, it sounds like they'll be just fine.
The infamous talk radio deejay (54) married his longtime girlfriend (36) in a quiet, private ceremony held at New York City restaurant Le Cirque last night (October 3).
Taking a break from their Los Angeles studio, the hosts of The View have been broadcasting live from Las Vegas - filming today's (June 25) episode at Caesars Palace on the Sin City strip.
Showing off her signature smile for photographers, Miley Cyrus was out at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Los Angeles on Friday (March 7).
Accompanied by her mother Leticia, the Hannah Montana starlet grabbed up a beverage and gave a quick peace sign before heading to the studio to work on her upcoming album.
It's almost like a scene out of a lame high school memory. Reportedly Britney Spears' manager/pal Sam Lutfi and her boyfriend Adnan Ghalib both have it out for each other.
According to a source, Sam is trying to "protect" Britney from the paparazzo's negative influence. He allegedly text messaged Adnan, "You're a manic trigger. If you continue to have any contact, you'll kill her. It's your decision."
As a follow up to the Gossip Girls article about Britney Spears' mother, Lynne, showing up at LAX on Sunday, it looks like she was coming to town to see the "Gimme More" singer.
Last night started off pretty rocky for Brit, with her manager/pal Sam Lufti trying to get her to see her mother, as well as a psychologist. And Lufti didn't want her to see her boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, either.
Yesterday, Jessica Biel was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, California. And it seems she was trying a little bit of everything when it came to picking out her outfit.
The 7th Heaven hottie started with a pair of hot pink shades to go with her formal-looking white topcoat. She ended out the ensemble with a pair of jeans and some vintage-looking Nike Air sneakers.
For all of you wondering about who would join Barbara Walters and the gang for their morning talk show The View, your nerves may be put to rest. It's Whoopi Goldberg.
Yesterday, Babs & Co. waited until the show was almost over, keeping audience members and viewers around the world on the edge of their seats. The 52-year-old actress/comedienne takes over the fourth chair officially on September 4th.
It seems as though Paris Hilton has finally gotten over the party lifestyle that has made her famous. After just a few days behind bars, she has found God and claims that she's "not the same person I was." This all according to interview legend Barbara Walters, who got a phone interview with the heiress earlier this week.
"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I'm 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me."

Trend Ahead: Rustic Traditional
October 30, 2013,
Tracy Stern
As I travel Napa Valley, Calif., the "rustic traditional" trend is easy to spot and tremendously comforting. To view it is to be whisked away to a time when things were homemade, hand-sewn and hand-spun. The beauty of this growing trend rests in raw materials, antique collections and a sense of purity found only in the most seasoned of fashions. More powerful than a trend, "vintage" seems more a style aesthetic - one that is perfectly embodied in Napa.
Vintage Home
My journey then led me to Napa Valley Vintage Home. Owner Laura Rombauer opened Vintage Home in January 2003, after years of practicing commercial interior design at a leading design firm. Simply entrancing are the collections upon collections of botanicals, vintage-printed papers, French glass and ultimate entertaining pieces. With its seasonally inspired showcases, one is never dulled by the offerings, but left intrigued by a promise of more to come.
Equally amazing is Jan de Luz, a design house that channels French ancestry via its proportions, patina and design. I was entranced by the Old World-style of monogramming available on raw, flaxen linens (while you wait). The research into theme is apparent, and the beauty is seemingly unending.
Using Napa Valley as inspiration, one can draw closer to one's truer self through design. Employing vintage collections and raw materials, space is transformed into peaceful and reminiscent amplitude.

Supreme Court to Rule on Sales Rep Overtime Pay
Usually, the question of whether you have a right to overtime pay is pretty clear. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes a minimum threshold for wage-hour standards that all employers in all states must abide by. These standards generally say that if you are not in a managerial role and you are not making a large salary, then you are entitled to overtime pay if you work more than 40 hours in a week.
"It's easy to determine if someone has a right to overtime if they are at either end of the employment spectrum," says Brian Kabateck, a lawyer at Kabateck Brown Kellner. "At one end you have the $10-an-hour employee sitting on a factory line, and at the other end you have the vice president of the corporation."
But for employees that fall within the middle, the issue of overtime pay can become a gray area. This is especially true for pharmaceutical sales reps, who have a long and inconsistent history within the courts regarding their right to overtime pay.
The Supreme Court is slated to hear a case on this very issue in April. The case, known as Christopher v. GlaxoSmithKline, may determine once and for all whether pharmaceutical sales reps are deserving of overtime pay for putting in work weeks of more than 40 hours.
"We really have no idea how the Supreme Court will rule," says Jeremy Heisler, a founding partner at Sanford Wittels & Heisler. Heisler represented a class of Novartis sales reps in a similar case, which settled at the end of January for $99 million. "The law is on our side, but the fact remains that courts have reached different decisions on this issue."
Definition of a Salesman
The central issue in the now-settled Novartis case and the pending Supreme Court GlaxoSmithKline case is whether several overtime exemptions apply to pharmaceutical sales reps. If any exemption does apply, then that would mean employees are not subject to overtime pay.
One of these exemptions is known as an "administrative exemption". The administrative exemption basically says that if the employee is managed and has little discretion with regards to conducting his or her own work, then he or she may be subject to overtime pay. Heisler says that this exemption may in fact apply to some pharmaceutical sales reps, depending on how the company defines the role of their workers.
"The Novartis reps don't qualify for this exemption because they are tightly controlled and don't exercise independent judgment," Heisler says. "That being said, the issue of the administrative exemption arguably could vary among different companies based on the degree of discretion pharmaceutical companies give their reps."
The other major exemption, and the one that the Supreme Court is likely to address directly in the GlaxoSmithKline case, applies specifically to outside sales representatives. According to the FLSA, an outside sales rep is defined as anyone who makes sales or obtains orders that will be paid by the client or customer and who does this largely away from the employer's place of business.
Pharmaceutical companies argue that their sales reps do in fact fit this definition, which means they are not entitled to overtime pay. However, the sales force disagrees, claiming that they merely provide medications and counsel physicians on selling and distributing the them to their patients.
"The employees are saying that they're much more goodwill ambassadors and disseminators of information as opposed to people who directly make the sale," Kabateck says. "The truth is it is a hybrid role."
Waging War
As the pharmaceutical sales rep cases highlight, sometimes the FLSA does not clearly apply to a person's job function. If you believe that your employer is improperly denying you overtime pay, the first thing you should do is make sure you are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement that may place extra stipulations on when you can and cannot collect overtime.
Next, check to see if your state has an agency that oversees labor and employment issues. The agency may have a hotline that you can call to better understand your legal issue. You can also contact your local office of the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division for information. If you still need more assistance, you should definitely seek out the help of a knowledgeable employment lawyer.
"You'll want to set up a consultation with the lawyer and ask if the situation you are in is one where you should be getting compensated for overtime," Kabateck says.
Kabateck recommends that when you meet with the attorney, you bring several documents along, including:
- Pay stubs
- An employment manual or information your employer has on how you are paid
- Documents that explain your job duties
- Any information that shows the hours you have worked

It's not surprising that Newcastle are reported today to be ready to submit an improved bid for top midfield target 24 year-old Remy Cabella of Montpellier, after our initial bid of £6.5M was turned down by the French club last Friday.
Remy Cabella – Newcastle will bid for a second time
And Newcastle seem to be going all out to get a number of players singed before the World Cup starts next Thursday in Brazil.
We reported last night that Montpellier Chairman Louis Nicollin wants around double the fee Newcastle bid for Cabella last week, and he cites the transfer for €15M (£12.2M) of Thauvin from Lille to Marseilles last summer, and says Remy Cabella is a better player than 21 year-old Florian Thauvin – case proved.
One report in Foot Mercato today suggests that Newcastle's second bid will be substantially higher than £6.5M, but we have our doubts that it will be accepted – but you never know and we've been wrong before.
If this news is true, we should hear something in the next day or two, as to whether our second offer has been accepted.
Lat week there was news that the compensation package that Newcastle will offer to Cabella is acceptable to him and his agent, who is his father Hector.
But it was also suggested in the local press that Montpellier had encouraged Newcastle to put in the initial bid, which they thought would have been acceptable to the French club, and certainly Newcastle will not be paying £12M to get their man.
We hope the bid is successful, because Remy Cabella is an excellent player already, and he will only improve on Tyneside.
Comments welcome.

Lucius Beebe & Charles Clegg, The Age of Steam, 1957
Chartered in 1904, the Gainesville Midland Railroad operated several small narrow gauge lines in addition to its 40 mile mainline between Gainesville and Athens, Georgia. The road was known for operating a small fleet of high-stepping Decapod steamers, several of which are preserved in Georgia. Near the end of the steam era, the Atlanta NRHS chapter operated a number of excursions between Atlanta and Athens using some of the GM Decapods as power. In 1959, the GM mainline was sold to the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.

Tree Houses & Blanket Forts...
I use to love making blanket forts at my grandmas house. I would use couch cushions, laundry drying racks, chairs, boxes and all the blankets I could find. Some of the forts I made were pretty fancy, with multiple rooms! Most of the time I kept them nice and simple. I loved pretending to be a female Indiana Jones, traveling around, hiding out and setting up camp. I would always use my uncle Jonny's little turquoise owl lamp for light. It gave off the perfect glow. Linus and I built a little blanket fort on our couch today. We made it super cozy and had all his little stuffed friends come for a visit. Linus loved it and spent quite a while sitting inside, reading books and relaxing. There is something so important about having a little place to go and get away from everything. A sanctuary. A cozy little nest where you can feel safe, be alone with your thoughts, and be anything you want to be.
I also always dreamed of having a secret tree house in the woods. I could sip tea, sweep the floor and make potions. Maybe we'll build Linus a sweet little playhouse someday. With lights, a loft and window sill flower boxes!!! That would be so awesome... Until then we'll continue to build blanket forts together.

Oh how I remember with delight your blanket forts - and you as a small lovely girl who lit up my life. You came into my life at just the right time - bringing with you love and hope. And now the days of forts and little ones is starting again, anew - and I so enjoy having Linus and Sadie and all the grandchildren (including you!) in my life to brighten my days. Love you lots and lots.ReplyDelete

Aloha. What a fantastically cozy little tent you and Linus made! I just love it! Jedi would love to get in there too. All the tents and treehouse pictures are wonderful. I didn't remember you and Evan making that one tent. Where were you? ha ha.ReplyDelete
Your tents are much nicer than the ones I make with Jedi.
Love ya.

50 Mining
53 Fishing
53 Cooking
43 Prayer is helpful, but not required.
56 Quest Points.
A friend from a rival gang.
Talk to Achietties outside of the Heroes' Guild in Taverley and ask her about joining the guild. She will tell you that to join, you'll need to obtain three items: A Firebird's feather, a cooked Lava eel and a Master Thieves' Armband.
Firebird's Feather:
To obtain a Firebird's feather, you'll need Ice gloves. These are held by the Ice Queen (level 77) found in the Ice dungeon beneath White Wolf Mountain. Make sure you have your best combat equipment and some food and then head west of Taverley to the mountain.
Find the rock slide on the northwest part of the mountain (see map below for the path from the Heroes' Guild or Taverley lodestone) and right click it to mine and clear it. Once done, you will find three ladders. Climb down the south ladder.
You will now find yourself in the ice dungeon. Take the southwest path until you come to a ladder, climb up it and you will see two other ladders. Climb down the east one back into the dungeon and follow the tunnel around until you reach another ladder at a dead end. Climb up this ladder and then climb down the next ladder to find yourself in a large cavern. Walk a bit north and you'll see a number of level 54 Ice warriors and the Ice queen.
Attack and kill the Ice Queen and she will drop the Ice gloves. Teleport out or make your way back through the dungeon and head to Port Sarim.
Note: The easiest way to reach Port Sarim is via the Port Sarim lodestone home teleport or an Explorer's ring cabbageport.
Once at Port Sarim, go to the northern dock and use the bank deposit box to store all of your items apart from the Ice gloves, and then talk to one of the Monks to travel to Entrana.
When you've arrived, leave the boat and make your way to the north side of the island. You should see the Entrana Fire Bird flying around west of the Law altar. Make sure you are wearing the Ice gloves and kill the bird (it only has 50 Life points, so using your fists isn't a problem). Once dead, it will drop a Fire feather for you to pick up.
Master Thieves' Armband:
Important Note: Completing this section of the quest requires another player from either the Phoenix or Black Arm Gang depending on which you joined during Shield of Arrav. If you require a partner for this quest, you can post in this topic to request some help. If you do not know which gang you are in, you can check the in-game quest log for Shield of Arrav to find out.
Black Arm Gang Member:
Speak to Katrine in the Black Arm Gang's hideout in southwest Varrock and ask her about becoming a master thief. She will tell you to steal ScarFace Pete's Candlesticks, but you will need to get some ID papers first. She will also give you the password "Four leaf clover".
Note: The easiest way to reach the hideout is via the Varrock lodestone home teleport and then head northwest past Charlie the Tramp into the alley.
Make sure you have a Black full helmet, Black platebody and Black platelegs, then make your way to Brimhaven and find the gang office northeast of the pub. Try to enter and Grubor will ask for the password. Tell him it and you'll be allowed to enter. Now talk to Trobert and he will give you the ID paper you need to get into ScarFace Pete's mansion.
Note: The easiest way to reach Brimhaven is via the Karamja lodestone home teleport or Amulet of Glory teleport to Musa Point and then walk west.
With your Black armor equipped, try to enter ScarFace Pete's Mansion (the large building west of the Shrimp and Parrot pub) and you will be stopped by Garv. You must show him the ID paper and then he will let you in.
Go talk to Grip and ask him "What do my duties involve?", then "Anything I can do now?". He will give you a Miscellaneous key which you now need to give to your Phoenix Gang partner. Once they have the key, wait for your partner to get into position (see below) and then go into the northeast room and search the cupboard on the wall. Grip will then come into the room to tell you to stop searching through his things, which allows your partner kill him from the room next door. Once he's dead, pick up his keys.
Go to the Treasure room (the one with coins in the floor) and use Grip's keys on the door to enter. Search the chests to find two Candlesticks.
Note: You cannot take a candlestick from someone else because Katrine will know you didn't do the quest properly and will not give you the band.
Now go back to Varrock and talk to Katrine again. She will give you the Master Thieves' Armband.
Phoenix Gang Member:
Go to Varrock and speak to Straven in the Phoenix Gang hideout and ask him about becoming a master thief. He will tell you to steal ScarFace Pete's Candlesticks and that the Phoenix gang has associates in Brimhaven on Karamja. Their names are Charlie the cook and Alfonse the Waiter in the pub called the Shrimp and Parrot. He will also give you the password "Gherkin".
Note: The easiest way to reach the hideout is via the Varrock lodestone home teleport and then head northeast into the alley until you reach the hideout building marked by a dungeon symbol.
Make sure you have a bow and some arrows, then head to Brimhaven and meet up with your Black Arm Gang partner. They should give you a Miscellaneous key.
Note: The easiest way to reach Brimhaven is via the Karamja lodestone home teleport or Amulet of Glory teleport to Musa Point and then walk west.
Go to the Shrimp and Parrot pub (marked by a Food shop icon) and talk to Alfonse the Waiter. Ask him about gherkins and then go through the door into the kitchen. Talk to Charlie the Cook and he will tell you that there is a secret wall panel.
Push the wall on the east side of the kitchen to access a yard with several Guard dogs. Open the door to the mansion and go inside.
Once inside, use the Miscellaneous key on the door to the north to access the store room. Wait for your partner to lure Grip (level 22) into the room and then range him through the slot in the wall. Once he's dead, your partner should pick up his keys and obtain the Candlesticks. Meet up with them and have them give you one.
Finally, go back to Straven in Varrock and give him the Candlestick and he will give you the Master Thieves' Armband.
Cooked Lava Eel:
Go to Port Sarim and talk to Gerrant in the Fishing shop. Ask him about catching Lava eels and he will tell you how to make an Oily fishing rod and give you a bottle of Blamish snail slime.
Make a Harralander potion (unf) by using a Clean harralander with Vial of water, then use the unfinished potion with the bottle of snail slime to get Blamish oil. Use this oil on a regular Fishing rod to get an Oily fishing rod.
To find the fishing spot for Lava eels, you need to go to Taverley Dungeon found south of Taverley bank (make sure you have your Oily rod and some Fishing bait!). If you have level 70 Agility, use the Obstacle pipe to the right of the entrance stairs and you will be in a cavern with level 74 Blue dragons. Run south until you come to a lava pool and skip to Step 3.
If you don't have 70 Agility, follow the red path on the map below through the dungeon until to find a small jail area. Kill the Jailer (level 56) and he will drop a key. Use the key with the jail cell containing Velrak the explorer ask him about places to explore. He will give you a Dusty key. Retrace your path back through the dungeon until you reach the green path on the map below and follow it to reach a locked Gate. Use your Dusty key on the gate to open it and make your way to the other side of the cavern filled with Blue dragons and then follow the tunnel south.
You should now find yourself at a river of lava and this is where you can catch the Lava eels. The fishing spots can be difficult to spot, but they are basically black spirals in the lava. Use your Oily fishing rod to catch a few eels and exit the dungeon to cook them.

Who: Lisa White
Where: Domenica, 123 Baronne Street, New Orleans, LA
When Lisa White has a bad day, she makes bread. "It's so simple—flour, water, salt, and yeast—but it's magical," she says. "You don't know if it's going to turn out, but when it does, it's so awesome. It hits people on all levels—you can smell it walking down the street."
She speaks from experience: Bread is what prompted her to change careers and become a pastry chef. "In March of 2008, I took a personal pilgrimage to France. While walking the isolated trails of the Camino of Santiago de Compostela, I was drawn into the village bakeries by the smell of bread baking. It's then that I remembered what I had always wanted to do." Three months later, White had enrolled in culinary school to become a pastry chef.
Originally from California, White now lives in New Orleans and works at Domenica, a rustic Northern Italian restaurant. She makes bread, pizza dough, pasta, and Southern-influenced Italian desserts like caramello crostata (a caramel custard pie with a pistachio torrone) and banana zuppa inglese (banana cake with crema cotta mousse and peanut brittle). Though she's fairly new to the South, the place-based approach to food feels familiar. "Farm-to-table has been popular in California for so long. Southern food has also always been farm-to-table—it may have been detoured a little, but it's not new here. It's part of the tradition."

For the past two years, White's intricate bread sculptures—cornucopias with vegetables, crawfish, and flower bouquets all made entirely from dough—have adorned the altars of St. Luke's in nearby Slidell, LA. She also donates to the church a tempting assortment of cookies, like fig involtini and almond fingers; and breads, including grissini, fougasse, and Italian Easter egg bread with gold leaf (recipe below).
White's contribution to her community aligns with her general food philosophy: "I just want to make people happy. What it comes down to for me is just making someone smile and their heart happy, and it could be with something as simple as a warm cookie or extravagant as a perfectly set semifreddo."

Italian Easter Egg Bread
Recipe courtesy of Lisa White
2 ⅔ cups bread flour
1 ½ tsp instant yeast
1 cup whole milk
½ cup egg yolks (depending on egg size, around 7 yolks)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup honey
2 ½ tsp kosher sea salt
¼ of a whole vanilla bean, split & beans scraped out with the back edge of a knife
Zest of ½ orange
4 whole eggs (you can dye them if you want)
pan spray
Swedish pearl sugar for sprinkling (optional)
egg wash (see recipe below)
Dissolve instant yeast in warmed milk (not hot to the touch, warm). Using a whisk or a spoon, stir until it gets frothy looking - it should take 8 – 10 min.
In a large mixing bowl, first place milk & yeast mixture, honey, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla bean, orange zest, and egg yolks. Then add bread flour & salt last. Mix on slow speed with a dough hook attachment for 4 minutes. Then scrape the bowl and mix again on medium speed for 4 more minutes. Remove attachments from bowl. Gather dough from the bowl and on a lightly-floured counter, knead dough a few times just to gather it all together. Spray a container or bowl with non-stick food spray. Set dough inside the container & cover. Let bulk ferment (rest) for 30 minutes.
After thirty minutes, remove dough ball from container and divide into 4 pieces, leaving the remaining 3 pieces covered with either a clean dish towel or loose plastic. Divide the remaining piece into 2 pieces. Next, roll these out like long ropes. Once equal in length, twist them together and bring the ends together to form a circle. Place circle on your baking sheet, tuck the ends underneath each other, and place your uncooked whole egg in the center (it cooks as the bread bakes). Brush with egg wash and do the same to the remaining pieces.
Brush the bread again with the egg wash. Put the whole tray into a loose fitting plastic bag and place in the refrigerator overnight.
The next day, remove the bread from refrigerator & the plastic bag. It should be almost doubled in size. Brush with egg wash and let sit out until room temperature, approx 20 minutes.
Preheat oven for 340 degrees F.
Brush with egg wash one more time and sprinkle with Swedish sugar or sprinkles and place in the oven. Bake for approx 25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 185 degrees F. Remove from oven and let cool.
Egg Wash
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
Pinch salt
½ cup heavy cream
Whisk together; strain. It is now ready to use.

Drink it faster then its not a problem...
It is not really the speed I'm after just a consistent flow.

Were you seen in the neighbors sheep paddock again?
I like the taste most of all.
We were always told to quit drinking three days before our annual physical by the flight surgeon, that way they could find some blood in our alcohol stream.
I believe that.

Iowa vs Iowa State College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds
Iowa vs Iowa State College Football Predictions, College Football Picks & College Football Odds: Bitter rivals Iowa and Iowa State will meet tomorrow at 12:00 at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames to settle their annual grudge match. The score is usually close in this heated match up, and the Cyclones have won three of the last five games played in Ames. College Football Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the visiting Hawkeyes listed as a -6.5 against the spread favorite in tomorrow's in-state showdown.
The Cyclones got a win for Head Coach Paul Rhoads in his maiden voyage with the program by beating North Dakota State 34-17 last Thursday night. Quarterback Austen Arnaud starred for Iowa State, leading the offense to 442 total yards after completing 16-of-28 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns. The junior passer also got it done on the ground as he carried the ball 17 times for 78 yards and a score.
Rhoads, who served as Auburn's defensive coordinator prior to taking the job with Iowa State, was probably not pleased with the Cyclones defensive effort. The Bison racked up 388 total yards and ran for 210 at a 5.5 yard per carry rate.
Iowa dodged the major upset bullet on Saturday, just getting by Northern Iowa 17-16 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes trailed going into the fourth quarter and needed two blocked field goals from Jeremiha Hunter in the final seconds to preserve the one point win. The performance was so poor that Kirk Ferentz' squad dropped from the AP rankings.
For the game, the Hawkeyes offense had 329 yards, converted just three third downs, and averaged a paltry 2.8 yards per carry. Despite the poor numbers, quarterback Richard Stanzi did put together a quality outing, completing 22-of-34 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown.
Iowa's defense, which returned eight starters for last year's 9-4 squad, gave up 354 yards to Northern Iowa. The Hawkeyes benefited from the Panthers self destructive behavior as UNI racked up nine offensive penalties.
College Football Predictions Betting Trend: The Cyclones are 8-2 against the spread in the last 10 games in this series when playing as an underdog.
Sportsbook.com Iowa vs Iowa State College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds:
Iowa Hawkeyes -6.5 (-110), Over 45.5 (-110), -260 (Moneyline)
Iowa State Cyclones +6.5 (-110), Under 45.5 (-110), +220 (Moneyline)

Heartburn Remedies: Natural Ways to Prevent Heartburn (Page 5)
Tip 3. Slim Down
Better yet, slowing down and eating more high-fiber foods could fight heartburn in another way. Weight-loss experts have long counseled dieters to eat more slowly so the stomach has time to signal when it's full. There is good evidence that high-fiber diets help people feel full on fewer calories. If that in turn helps people shed pounds, it could also ease heartburn. "Being overweight or obese adds to the risk of gastric reflux because the extra weight puts pressure on the stomach," says El-Serag, "making it more likely that food can be forced back into the esophagus."

Drilling steam holes in smallblock Chevy heads
by: Cobalt327, Jon, TorkMonster400
(Click here to edit this page anonymously, or register a username to be credited for your work.)
[edit] Introduction
The SBC 400 block was designed with steam holes in the deck and heads. The steam holes were designed to rid the cooling system of steam caused by localized heating under some conditions due to the 400 block having siamesed cylinders (meaning the cylinder's OD's are physically connected to each other due to the large bore size combined with the block having the same bore spacing as the 1955 SBC 265 cid engine).
SBC heads with steam holes can be used on other blocks without problem by using a 350 head gasket.
[edit] How to drill a head for steam holes
Heads without steam holes can be drilled for them by using the correct 400 head gasket with steam holes as a template.
- Start by marking the approximate steam hole locations with a marker or die.
- Next insert 2 dowel pins into the heads dowel pin holes and lay the 400 head gasket onto the head over the dowel pins. This will keep the gasket aligned precisely as you mark the holes.
- Level the head with the deck side facing up and drill the 3 holes that run parallel to the exhaust side of the head using a 1/8 inch drill bit. The maximum size for these holes are .250 or 1/4 inch.
- For the angled holes, level the head at 10 degrees so that you will be drilling from the intake side of the head down toward the exhaust side.
- use a starter bit first then switch to a 1/8 inch drill bit. This will make it easier to get the holes started on angle without drill deflection or sliding. The maximum size for these holes is 0.187" or 3/16".
- Use a sharp bit and take your time.
- Clean off the heads when done.
The steam holes can be done by hand if attention is paid to angling the drill bit on the three angled holes on the intake side, and a starter bit is used to to start the hole straight down to make a small indentation to use to keep the bit from sliding as you lay the drill over to the correct angle, as mentioned above. The three holes that are drilled straight down are not a problem. Steam holes can also be made using a drill press equipped with an adjustable table.
[edit] Cooling system mod
If the steam holes are drilled or not, a modification to the cooling system that can help the efficiency overall is to connect the port at the top of the water pump to a rear water port on the intake manifold. Not all intakes have a water port in that location. But on many intake manifolds a pipe threaded port can be added.
[edit] Are steam holes needed?
There are quite a few builders who claim the holes are not needed on an engine that will see "normal" duty, i.e. not idled for extended periods like a delivery truck, for example. Among them is noted engine builder Joe Sherman (of Joe Sherman Racing) who says, "I have built hundreds of 400 engines, WITHOUT the steam holes, and never had a problem. Guys used to send me their heads for me to drill the holes, because I only charged 80 dollars to do the job, but I never did it for my own stuff."

Quasi-Defining Statements
p. 196: "Intuition draws our attention to context and we adapt to sensory events in terms of it."
p. 197: "Once we've grasped a whole pattern, we can envision options that don't yet exist. Indeed, one of the drawbacks of Intuition is that it conjures up a future before we know very much about the present. For example, given enough elements to suggest a star or a square, we have a hard time not filling in the blanks and seeing the complete image."
p. 198: "...to leap from a few immediate cues to a quick impression of the whole..."
p. 223: "Extraverted Intuition would move us to unify our sense impressions with their larger context, thereby creating new options for meaning and response."
p. 224: "Extraverted Intuitives are right-brain types who deal with their sense impressions by unifying them into larger outward patterns. An ENP physician, for example, may realize, with sudden insight, that several unexplained symptoms are actually part of a single disease. As an Extraverted type, the physician has no doubt that the disease syndrome really exists. The pattern was always there, waiting for someone to discover it."
Proposed definition #1
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) is the attitude that what is manifest (apparent, observable) is a reflection of a greater reality. The dinosaur bone hints at the dinosaur, the cloud hints at the coming thunderstorm, the thunderstorm is a reflection of the rotation of the Earth within its atmosphere. Whatever you find, there is something more to find: a broader context, a whole, which will change your understanding of the part.
Proposed definition #2
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) is the attitude that the unknown is filled with wonderful things. To make use of them, you must be flexible in your goals. If you try to set things up so that only something known to be good can happen, you close your eyes to the zillions of opportunities that you can't know or define in terms of what you know now. As more of the unknown becomes clear, the more it changes your understanding of the (currently) known.
To live, then, you need to continuously welcome the unknown, by always being ready to adjust in unanticipatable ways. What seems like a mistake is not a mistake when viewed in a larger pattern--and it's your job to find that larger pattern.
(Compare Introverted Sensation, which leads to the exact opposite attitude toward the unknown. Ne says to anchor yourself nowhere, so you can continuously adapt to exploit unknown opportunities; Si says to anchor yourself firmly to what matters regardless of change, in order to keep out the unknown and its attendant, unknowable risks.)
I known ENPs who aren't specially optimistic or brave. Ne makes them see all the horrible things that can go wrong as well as the ones that can go very good. Yet they are undeniably ENPs. I don't know. I remember reading in the book thet ENFPs where the most optimistic of the types. Maybe their optimism depends on their society being extraverted perciever? --Michelini
Proposed Definition # 3
Ne is curiosity (but of course it's not that simple). Describing it as "looking" isn't deceptive, because Ne as an attitude is one of seeing what's there. The idea is that possibilities are visible in the Ne sense.
There's a film called the Zero Effect. The main character is probably an INTP. A quote from the film that encapsulates Ne:
"If you go looking for something in particular, your chances of finding it are very bad, because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. If you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good, because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them."
Even if you look for anything at all, and find nothing, then you found something. You just didn't find anything new, but this is an opportunity in disguise. That's Ne. It's the attitude that searching is inherently valuable because no matter what outcome you get you find something.
(Tangent: This also highlights the importance of Lenore's idea about developing the secondary. Ne by itself is very indiscriminate. There's a point at which "looking for anything at all" really risks being too randomly useful or too randomly pointless to be helpful. A dominant Ne type needs to be able to distinguish between the relative importance of things, or be able to identify the needs and people they really care about, to make the most of it.)
Proposed definition #4: The "outside the box" attitude
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) is orientation by what is outside the box and how it could change the way people are thinking if the box were expanded.
"The box" means the context that governs the way people are giving meaning to objects of attention. Going "outside the box" means broadening the context: exploring or including things that are outside the currently accepted definitions and assumptions.
Some examples: How would the restaurant industry change if really good, healthy food became available very cheaply? How would physics change if the speed of light were a constant in every reference frame? How would our culture change if we had portable phones that we could carry with us everywhere, instead of having each phone tied to a specific location? How would this organization change if we brought in my friend Terry? Terry brings a peculiar focus on the bottom line: that will alienate some people and endear him to others, likely causing various relationships and alliances to shift.
