Rüsselsheim/Essen. In 2014, Opel will be racing full speed ahead into its second season of motorsport activities. Visual proof of this at the Essen Motor Show (Nov 30 – Dec 8) is the premiere of the Rallye ADAM R2, together with the Astra GTC and the Corsa OPC in typical motorsport guises. Another attention-grabbing highlight on the Opel stand (A120 in Hall 3.0) is the visionary Monza Concept.
Opel also shows how it is moving into the future with a series of new production cars which demonstrate the brand's commitment to sportiness and connectivity. Visitors can get a close-up look at top Insignia OPC and Insignia Country Tourer models, as well as the elegant mid-size Cascada convertible, the dynamic and compact Mokka SUV and the stylish ADAM Black Link. The Astra Sports Tourer, with BiTurbo diesel power, also brings ultra-modern, high-torque engine technology to Essen.
In addition, fans can see their sports idols up close as many Opel partners from the world of soccer and motorsport will be appearing on the Opel stand. At the interview followed by an hour's signing of autographs, the goal scorers from Fortuna Düsseldorf (30.11., 14-15.00), Bayer 04 Leverkusen (1.12, 14-15.00) and Borussia Dortmund (08.12, 13-14.00) are ready to answer the questions that come their way. Already on several days, Joachim "Jockel" Winkelhock together with the successful young ADAM-Rallye-pilot Marijan Griebel and Fabian Kreim tell of the exciting atmosphere in the cockpit (30.11, 11-12 and 15-16 hours; 1.12, 11-12 and 15-16 hours.) Visitors of the Essen Motor Show will be able to meet the two high flyers on site also on the 7.12 from 11-12 and from 14-15 hours.
Opel's comeback to motorsport created lots of excitement among fans and media alike during the 2013 season. The launch of the ADAC Opel Rallye Cup, with 24 identical ADAM Cup cars, attracted numerous followers, as did the Astra OPC Cup on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife within the framework of the VLN Endurance Championship. With the arrival of the ADAM R2 Rallye car, carrying Opel's signature yellow-black-white colors, the brand now makes its next big splash in motorsport. This small but swift powerhouse, with about 190 hp on tap, makes its public debut in Essen and will appear on the national and European rallying stage from the beginning of next year.
The Astra GTC and Corsa OPC in special motorsport trim are now ready to go into series production. They bring sporty performance onto the road. The Astra GTC in motorsport guise, for example, features a 1.6-liter ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo engine from Opel's new powertrain generation which delivers 147 kW/200 hp and 280 Nm maximum torque, while the Corsa OPC Nürburgring Edition packs a 155 kW/210 hp engine, also with 280 Nm maximum torque. Show visitors will be left in no doubt about the level of power under the hood of these cars: they share cool, racing car looks, with an all-white exterior emblazoned by crisp yellow-black-grey motorsport decals. The Corsa OPC with motorsport package is already available to order at its premiere at Essen, while its Astra GTC counterpart will follow next spring.
Sporty and efficient with all-round connectivity – that is what the automotive future looks like. And in all these areas, the Opel Monza Concept is both a visionary and pioneer. With its captivating exterior styling and innovative modular powertrain system design, the Monza Concept embodies stylish and ultra-modern efficiency on four wheels and takes this into the interior. Here Opel's latest concept car impresses with unique LED projection technology and versatile connectivity possibilities. Although it may all seem like a quantum leap for today's drivers in Essen, this level of technology will soon be a normal part of everyday life. By showcasing what lies in store, the Monza Concept is an impressive role-model for the next generation of Opel cars.
In every way and in every variant, the new Opel Insignia range is simply captivating. With 239 kW/325 hp and 435 Nm maximum torque, the Insignia OPC is Opel's top-of-the-line performer. This all-wheel drive model features new, refreshed looks and a modified chassis which shows its abilities on winding country roads as well as fast, open stretches of autobahn. With a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive, the Insignia OPC sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 6.0 seconds. The cabin welcomes drivers with a pure motorsport ambience. Recaro performance seats, the OPC gearshift knob, and a new main instrument panel giving driver-specific information all exude premium flair.
The new Insignia Country Tourer is the adventurer of the Insignia family. This athletic all-rounder features under-ride décor elements front and rear, combined with prominent wheel-arch and lower body cladding, all complemented by dual exhaust tailpipes. The Country Tourer is equipped for the rigors of uneven terrain by the addition of a standard protective guard under the engine compartment which is made from high-strength steel and specially-coated for durability. State-of-the-art all-wheel drive ensures grip and sure-footed handling in all driving conditions. It is teamed with powerful turbo engines such as the 184 kW/250 hp, 2.0-liter ECOTEC Direct Injection Turbo gasoline unit or a 143 kW/195 hp high-performance 2.0 BiTurbo CDTI – both generating impressive maximum torque of 400 Nm.
Essen Motor Show visitors can take a close look at Opel's ultra-modern BiTurbo technology in the Astra Sports Tourer. With sequential BiTurbo power, this compact station wagon accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 8.9 seconds. Maximum speed is 224 km/h – faster than any other Astra Sports Tourer. While ensuring strong performance and lots of driving fun, twin-turbo technology is also ultra-efficient and exceptionally frugal.
The Opel Cascada sets new standards for mid-size convertibles. This classy four-seat drop-top offers year-round comfort and is defined by its elegant, elongated silhouette. The high-quality soft-top can be deployed within 17 seconds at driving speeds up to 50 km/h, making it one of the fastest and best on the market. The Cascada also delivers a sharp driving experience with its super-rigid body and advanced HiPerStrut front suspension –initially developed for the high performance Insignia OPC – together with FlexRide adaptive damping and newest-generation, high-performance engines. Premium equipment and features otherwise found only in high-end convertibles all contribute to enhanced levels of comfort.
'All-wheel drive Car of the Year 2013', 'Best SUV in its class', 'Design Trophy winner' – these are just some of the many awards the Opel Mokka has received, causing quite a sensation in its segment. To date, 145,000 orders have come in for the Mokka from all over Europe. In all respects, the compact, dynamic Opel SUV makes a convincing case. At 4.28 meters long, it provides generous accommodation with high seating positions for five occupants. Available with front or all-wheel drive, the chassis is also suitable for use beyond the limits of paved roads. Mokka customers can now choose high-torque and economical gasoline, diesel or LPG engines. Technologies and comfort details, such as the ultra-modern IntelliLink infotainment system, Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL+) and ergonomic seats with the AGR (Campaign for Healthy Backs) seal of approval, make the Mokka even more attractive.
The chic Opel ADAM has been turning heads since its market launch at the beginning of 2013. Its unconventional, colorful appearance and its limitless personalization possibilities all ensure it remains an attention-getter. Practically every ADAM is a unique vehicle. This small urban car now once again proves its role as the innovative individualization champion with the launch of the ADAM Black Link variant. This special model is like a sophisticated smartphone on wheels. Opel offers the ADAM Black Link not only with the award-winning, clever IntelliLink infotainment system and Siri Eyes Free voice control fitted as standard, but also in a very special black-white smartphone design with brushed aluminum accents. It thus embodies a perfect blend of ultra-modern infotainment and connectivity technology with clear, technically-inspired design.

Good news about road diet on Lawyers RdVDOT conducted a survey to assess travelers' thoughts about the road diet on Lawyers Road in Reston. VDOT also collected information about travel speeds and crashes on the road, and it's good news:
- Average speed dropped by about 1 mph, from roughly 45 to 44 mph, but there was a more notable change in the fastest speeds. Before the road diet, 13% of vehicles were recorded at 50 mph or above. After, only 1% of vehicles were recorded at or over 50 mph. These speed results led VDOT to reduce the speed limit on Lawyers from 45 mph to 40 mph.
- In the four years prior to the road diet, Lawyers averaged 15 crashes per year. In the first year after the road diet, we observed only 3 crashes in the same segment of Lawyers, for an 80 percent drop. It is too early to make any firm conclusions about the safety results, but the initial trend is very encouraging.
According to the survey, people think the road is now safer, encourages more people to travel by bike, that travel times have not increased, and that road diets should be used elsewhere:
A total of 851 responses to the survey were collected. Of these responses, 67 included only answers to the first two demographic questions; these responses were discarded, leaving 784 valid responses.
Key Findings
Key Findings
- 69 percent of respondents said Lawyers seems safer after the road diet was implemented, compared with 15 percent who felt that it seems less safe.
- 47 percent of respondents bicycled on Lawyers more often than before, indicating that the road diet encourages cycling as a travel mode.
- 69 percent of respondents said auto travel times have not increased, even though 59 percent said speeds dropped.
- 74 percent of respondents agreed that the project improved Lawyers Road.
- 71 percent of respondents agreed that other road diets should be considered in Northern Virginia.
Labels: bike lanes, lawyers road, road diet
I used to use Lawyers Rd, extensively and very little. However, I too notice the safety improvement and reduction in speeders, even without heavy policing by FCPD. I am afraid to bicycle on the road, though. I'm doubtful if it increases commuting by bike for all but really dedicated bicycle riders. Distances, safety, and climate are the key reasons why people cannot commute by bike. Around here, and most places in the USA, bicycling on most roads, shared with cars and trucks, is too dangerous.
Many people currently commute by bike. Most of the trips we take, less than half of which are commuting to work, are relatively short and could easily be taken by bike. We also have a relatively mild climate and with the proper equipment, traveling by bike is possible during most of the year. Some of the highest bicycle mode shares are in cities with colder or wetter climates than ours, such as Portland, OR, Minneapolis, MN, and Copenhagen, Denmark.
Lack of safe bicycle accommodations is the biggest factor in people deciding not to travel by bike, and the Lawyers Road bike lanes are a great first step. They are the first dedicated on-road bike facilities in Reston. I use Lawyers all the time now, both by bike and car. It's a safer road for everyone.

Just to clarify my earlier question: I read that survey respondents thought that travel times remained the same. I'm wondering whether there have been any empirical measurements that verify the observation.
I think VDOT was mostly concerned about safety data. I don't know if they have studied travel times. I think by inference one could say that travel times haven't changed much since the average speed was reduced by only 1mph. I suppose for those 13% of motorists who were traveling faster than 50mph before the road diet were slowed since after the project on 1% were going over 50mph, but that's a good thing.
Sorry. Got caught up with life. My response is essentially, "Duh! I can't believe I missed that."
But thanks for the polite response anyway.

10 days from Casablanca to Casablanca, or 11 days incl. travel
Vacation Overview
Exotic and fascinating, the Kingdom of Morocco is rich in history and culture, offering travelers intriguing historical sites, authentic cuisine, and changing scenery that is perfect for travelers wanting to explore and learn about a new destination. In Marrakesh, step back in time as you wander through the Jemaa-el-Fna, a square and exotic bizarre offering some of the greatest open-air entertainment. Listen to the storytellers—an integral part of the culture—and browse for handicrafts. It's not hard to imagine what it was like in the past, a time when caravans loaded their camels with food and goods to sell at the markets.
In Fez, take an optional tour to see the ancient medina. Founded in the 9th century, it is one of the largest medieval cities in the world and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through its souks (markets) and alleys, which are virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages. Taste authentic Moroccan cuisine and take in the sites and sounds of this fascinating city.
On this tour you'll also visit Casablanca, Meknes, Ouarzazate, Ifrane, Erfoud, and Rabat, Morocco's vibrant capital. Admire changing scenery as the Middle Atlas mountain range transforms to desert as you approach the Erfoud oasis. This affordable vacation to Morocco is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Day 1 – Arrive in Casablanca, Morocco
Check into your hotel. Later, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers. (Dinner)
Day 2 – Casablanca–Rabat–Meknes–Fez
A short ride along the coast to Rabat, once a lair of the corsairs and now the country's capital. Sightseeing includes the Royal Palace, Hassan Tower, and the Kasbah of Oudayas. You are reminded of the time when Morocco was the Roman province of Mauretania as you visit the fine Roman relics of Chellah and its gardens. Next stop, Meknes—see its monumental gates, mosque, palace, and miles of protective walls. Travel east towards Fez, Morocco's most enchanting city. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 3 – Fez
At leisure in ancient Fez, which occupies a position of outstanding scenic beauty. Visit the exotic ancient Medina on the optional sightseeing tour, a maze of narrow bustling streets and alleys that make up the old Medina with its colorful souks. (Breakfast)
Day 4 – Fez–Ifrane–Erfoud
Travel today into the very heart of Morocco. Morning break in the quiet, French-built alpine resort of Ifrane. Verdant cedar forests give way to volcanic mountains and wind-swept plains as you motor across the Middle Atlas range to Midelt. Pass fortified mud-and-straw villages. Descend into the spectacular Ziz Gorges and arrive in Er-Rachidia, an important crossroad once controlled by the French Foreign Legion. Afterwards, the landscape becomes progressively more arid and you enter a stony desert. On your last stretch to Erfoud, an unexpected and breathtaking surprise: the miraculous and peaceful oasis of Ziz Valley. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 5 – Erfoud
The best choice today is an included excursion to Rissani to see the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Sharif, the first ruler of the Alaouite Dynasty. This evening, enjoy an optional excursion in the desert. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 6 – Erfoud–The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs–Ouarzazate
Enjoy the drive through the eastern slopes of the Atlas Mountains and arrive at the Tinerhir oasis with its green valley of palms and local villages. Drive north to the impressive Todra Gorge, then west along the Dades Valley to the film capital of Morocco, Ouarzazate, for an overnight stay. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 7 – Ouarzazate–Aït Benhaddou–Tizi-n-Tichka Pass–Marrakesh
Enjoy an orientation drive this morning in Ouarzazate, famous for its film studios and a visit of the Kasbah de Taourirt. Next, to Aït Benhaddou, a kasbah famous as a film location for Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. Pass through picturesque villages surrounded by craggy mountains while motoring towards the 7,414-foot-high Tizi-n-Tichka Pass in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Each new twist in the road leads to a different, more dramatic landscape. Leaving the pass behind, the landscape gradually changes to a tapestry of red ochre. Afternoon arrival in the red-colored imperial city of Marrakesh, justly reputed the most fascinating of all Moroccan cities. An optional evening excursion will be a fitting choice to end the day. (Breakfast)
Day 8 – Marrakesh
The included city sightseeing starts this morning with an orientation drive followed by a walk through the ancient quarters to the fascinating Jemaa-el-Fna square and its exotic bazaar. You'll really feel as if you've stopped the march of time. Marrakesh has always been a meeting place—first just a group of nomad tents, now a bustling city. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 9 – Marrakesh–Casablanca
Leave Morocco's magical city of Marrakesh for the journey northwest back to Casablanca. In the afternoon, see the sights in the company of a Local Guide. (Breakfast)
Day 10 – Casablanca
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (Breakfast)

Andrew, I am in no way the authority on this but I can give you one companies interpretation on how this should be implemented. There are possibly many separate documents, and/or xpath data models (I'm using the two interchangeably) that an XForms Processor maintains. Each <xf:instance/> element defines a separate xpath data model. i.e. When an XForms Processor comes across an xf:instance, it creates a new xpath data model and either a.) loads the xpath data model from the uri specified, or b.) loads the xpath data model from XML specified inline. Each data model is held separately and traversal from one data model into either the source document, or other instance xpath data models, is impossible with the base set of XPath axes and function library. For example, assume I have 3 instances (i1, i2, and i3). If I am evaluating the XPath expression ".." in i1, I do not get the <xf:instance/> element back as a result, I get an error because I'm reaching for a parent that doesn't exist. If I evaluate the XPath expression "/" in i3, I get back the root of i3, not the root of the source document. In other words, it is impossible to go outside of an individual instance data model. It is also impossible to access the source document unless it is explicitly loaded into an instance. (e.g. <xf:instance src="./this.xfm"/>). This is where the instance() function comes into play. It allows me to traverse into the root of some other instance's xpath data model, which would be absolutely impossible otherwise. So, the instance() is NOT the id() function, which seems to be how you've interpreted it.. The instance() function is not limited to resolution within the context xpath data model. How the instance() function locates the xpath data model is an implementation detail. For example, we use a HashMap to map instance id's to DOM Document objects. The Map may contain any number of instance id's to DOM Document mappings. When the instance() xpath function is called, the function simply looks up the document in the HashMap and returns it. Hope this helps, - Ryan -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 8:25 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: XForms CR - 7.10.1 Another XPath 1.0 Conformance Question This question is, for a short time, posted only to the three XForms lists. I have other concerns about 7.10.1 which I will post separately. It seems to me that the XForms CR may be using the instance() function and its related location paths in a way inconsistent with XPath 1.0. I make the point in the assumption that John Boyer's recent email gives an accurate description of the relationship between instance data and the containing document. I am assuming that there is a *copy* of part/all of the content of an <xforms:instance> element in a separate XPath data model. There are background uncertainties since Micah Dubinko's recent post on XML-Dev is by no means clearly expressing the same meaning as John Boyer's email. Nor has the XForms WG responded to my question regarding the precise meaning of "instance data" and its scope. My concern relates to the following syntax in the CR: ref="instance('orderform')/shipTo/firstName" The instance() function seems to me to reference the id attribute containing the value "orderform". As I understand the situation that id attribute only exists in the original/containing document or, more precisely, in the XPath data model which represents it. As far as I understand it a representation of that <xforms:instance> and its id attribute do not exist in the *copy* XPath data model. Therefore the instance() function in the first location step of the quoted location path is referencing a node in the XPath data model of the original/containing document. However, again if I am understanding correctly, the two following location steps reference *the copy* XPath data model (not the XPath data model of the original/containing document). So we seem to have a single XPath 1.0 location path apparently operating on two separate XPath 1.0 data models. To the best of my knowledge that is inconsistent with XPath 1.0.

TORONTO — Ken Setterington decided he needed to write a book about the pink triangle when he realized so many people had never heard of it, or knew what it stood for.
The pink triangle badge was used to identify gay men in concentration camps during the Holocaust. After the war, it was reclaimed as a symbol of gay pride, although the rainbow flag eventually overshadowed it, he said.
"I thought there was no need [to write a book about it] until I went to talk to the young people I worked with," said Setterington, a children's author as well as a librarian with the Toronto Public Library.
He asked one young gay man what he knew about the pink triangle. He said nothing. Most of the staff gave similar responses, which made him realize there was, indeed, a need.
"Most people know about the millions of Jews who were murdered, but what about the other victims, including the gay victims?" he asked. "I felt, as a gay person, our history needed to be told, too."
The author of Branded by the Pink Triangle shared what he uncovered in his research for the book during a Holocaust Education Week lecture at the University of Toronto. He explained his book tells the stories of numerous gay men who were persecuted during the Holocaust.
He talked about the history of the gay community in Berlin, and how it was quite vibrant in the 1920s, despite homosexuality being illegal. He discussed how, after the Nazis came into power, they began to more actively persecute gay Aryan men, who they saw as lowering the Aryan birthrate.
Thousands of men were arrested for being gay and they were taken to Nazi concentration camps.
"They were being sent to work," Setterington said, but "the work they were sent to do would most likely kill them."
Men who were hurt or lost limbs were sent to the infirmary, where they almost certainly would die.
He described how gay men were disproportionately used for torturous Nazi medical experiments.
"The Nazis wanted to discover reasons for homosexuality and did tests on those men," he said.
The gay men's experiences were particularly brutal because even when they were being liberated, they were not treated well. Homosexuality was still illegal in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and most other major nations after the war, which is why many survivors never talked about their experiences.
"We don't have the same number of witnesses, and the people are now dead, so the stories are just being forgotten," Setterington told The CJN.
In 1970, a group of activists were arrested for trying to place a lavender wreath at the National War Memorial in Amsterdam in memory of the gay men who died in the Holocaust. It wasn't until 1987 that a memorial was unveiled there.
Nowadays, there are several memorials around the world dedicated to gay Holocaust victims, but not enough to help the world learn this history, Setterington said.
As Setterington spoke, he became emotional, explaining that it happens no matter how many times he shares these men's stories.
"It's just hard, because each one of those men deserves to be remembered, and we need to make sure those stories are kept alive," he said.
If there's one message he hopes people will take away from the book, it's about respect.
"Respect others no matter what their religion, their sexual orientation, or the colour of their skin," he said. "We need to respect diversity."

- Remember the Good Old Times Back in 1906-1907 [Newspaper Article]
- A "Mineral Wells Index" newspaper article, dated 1933, it is titled: "Remember the Good Old Days Back in 1906-1907", showing two views of Elmhurst Park. One view shows an automobile and streetcar at the entrance; and the other shows the casino located in the park, with the lake in the foreground.
- The Fiftieth Reunion of the Graduating Class of 1934
- This picture reproduces a newspaper clipping that reports the fiftieth reunion of the 1934 class from Mineral Wells High School. It was published in the Mineral Wells Index on June 28, 1984.
- First Presbyterian Church in 1896
- Handwritten notes on this old newspaper clipping indicate that it was given by M. J. Graham to A. F. Weaver, and correctly reports that the church structure burned August 25, 1908. The article erroneously states that it burned July 4, 1914. The article appears to have been published in the Mineral Wells Index. The caption reads: "Crowd attends dedication of the wooden church as it nears completion in the summer of 1896, when the edifice was dedicated to the Lord and mankind. On July 4th, 1914, the church was destroyed by one of the most disastrous fires in the history of Mineral Wells, when 34 residences and hotels, for two blocks east and west, and four blocks north--from Hubbard St. to NW 4th Street--burned. Every place from Hubbard north to 4th Street except the Tygrett home. "The present church was constructed some two years after the wooden church burned, on the same site--the corner NW 2nd Street and NW 4th Avenue. Perhaps some of the youngsters in the picture are living in the community today [2013]. Picture made available by M. J. Graham from his file of papers and pictures on the history of Presbyterianism in this community. "Until the present domed brick church was completed, the Presbyterians held Sunday School and church on the lower floor of the Odd Fellow Building in the 200 block on North Oak." The domed brick church mentioned in the article was built in 1909, (at a cost of $15,000, according to the El Paso Morning Times of 1909) and was replaced by a third church at this location in the 1980's due to structural deterioration.

Riding the wave of new development in China, Studio SHIFT recently won a competition to design a fantastic new landmark in Miyi County. Miyi Tower will sit on the edge of the Anning river as a symbol of the new face of Sichuan provence. The tower's most striking feature is its whimsical latticework skin, which suffuses the structure with daylight and "evokes the shimmering surface of the river below." This connection is reinforced by the project's goal of filtering and transforming the polluted Anning river into a lush landscape of wetlands, lakes, leisure and agricultural areas.
Los Angeles based Studio SHIFT and SWA Group were selected to create a master plan for the developing area of New South Town in Sichuan Provence. The northern section will include a new high-density residential and cultural hub devoted to regional arts while the southern section will transform the highly-polluted Anning river into a viable ecosystem. The design will utilize natural and mechanical filtration to turn what was once an environmental liability into an a significant community and cultural asset.
Bridging these two new developments, the Miyi Tower will rise from the southern end of a kilometer-long promenade consisting of, "a series of parks and public spaces designed by SWA Group to highlight accessibility to the river. [The promenade] then tapers between rising paths which form the amphitheater at the tower's base. The paths converge and then continue as a bridge across the river and as an overlook affording views of reclaimed wetlands and the lake beyond." Taking advantage of the area's temperate location, the new tower will alternate floors that are open-to-the-elements and enclosed, providing unique views of the area on each level.
The Miyi Tower itself will be a state-of-the-art community space providing a multitude of educational, entertainment and community programs aimed at promoting the region's heritage and natural amenities. Ambitiously redefining the term multi-use, the tower will feature "an auditorium, exhibition spaces and restaurants featuring local cuisine on the interior while open-air floors are used as event spaces, gardens and an observation deck. The pairs of lower and upper enclosed spaces are joined by structures which act as light monitors. These light monitors, of which there is a third at the highest level, are aligned to take advantage of different lighting conditions throughout the day. The tower is sheathed in a very porous yet continuous skin that gives the various programs their unified form. As porous building skins are often treated as opaque modules with subtracted holes (i.e. perforated skins) Studio SHIFT deliberately created the inverse."
Congratulations to Studio SHIFT and SWA and all involved with this terrific project.

How much weight is lost in baking?
Is there a rule of thumb regarding how much weight is lost by baking? I know it will be mostly determined by how much moisture is present in the dough. I'd expect most or all of the moisture weight to be gone. Is that right? How much of everything can be expected to cook away? I'm just wondering if I wanted to target a "finished" weight, is there a way to tell by the ingredients, or is it just going to take trial-and-error?

Getting started
What kind of bottles should I use? Let's talk equipment. You'll find hundreds of baby bottles to choose from, so which kind is best for your baby? For a newborn, you'll need at least six 4-ounce bottles, and as your baby grows, you'll need to switch to 8-ounce bottles.
Most baby bottles are made of plastic or glass. Plastic bottles are lightweight and dishwasher-safe. If you're concerned about bisphenol A (BPA) in your baby bottles, note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completely banned BPA from all baby bottles and sippy cups in 2012, so new bottles should not contain the controversial chemical. Still, be sure not to use plastic bottles marked with a 7 or "PC." Plastic bottles should be replaced regularly because scratches can harbor bacteria. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) advises against using soft plastic liners in your bottles, as they may leach chemicals into formula and breast milk, especially when heated.
Glass bottles are coming back into fashion, largely due to parents' concerns about the potential effects of chemicals in plastics beyond BPA. Glass baby bottles are heavier and more breakable than plastic but don't need replacing as long as they are not broken or chipped. Some glass baby bottle manufacturers are coming out with silicon sleeves that make them more resistant to dropping and breaking. In addition to being dishwasher-safe, most glass bottles are also freezer-safe, making them a good choice for women who are pumping and storing breast milk. Just check to see if your bottles are compatible to connect with your breast pump, or use stick-shaped freezer trays to store your breast milk in a form that easily drops into a bottle.
Most bottle nipples are made of latex or silicon. Latex nipples are golden brown and softer and more flexible. Silicon nipples are clear and more firm and durable, lasting up to four times longer than latex ones. Silicon nipples are heat-resistant and dishwasher safe. The EWG recommends using clear silicon nipples rather than latex rubber ones because latex may cause allergies and contain impurities linked to cancer.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that while many bottle manufacturers claim their products prevent colic, reduce gas, or replicate the human breast, there's no scientific proof. So go with your gut (and your baby's) to see what kind of bottle and nipple works for you.

Google Voice is on its way into our lives. How do you think this will/might/could/should/would have an effect on education -- whether running a classroom, a school, or more...
Google Voice is a free service that offers "one number for life," so that one incoming call to that number gets forwarded to all your other numbers — work, mobile, home or hotel room. Users get free calls across the United States and international rates cheaper than Skype. Landlines, computers and cellphones can all access its services.
...with Google Voice, no matter who makes your phone, or sells you minutes or bills your land line, Google will always be involved.
And here, with my emphasis, is the money quote:
"This makes Google the hub of your communications center. That should be enough to make Microsoft worried for Outlook and the telcos worried for the scale of Google's ambitions" says Arnold [principal at J. Arnold Associates, a firm that focuses on IP research and communications], "When you control the address book, you control the customer, so to speak."
You ready to drop Outlook?

Shortly after capturing their first District Championship in several years, the Lady Jags put together a blowout win at home in the first round of the playoffs against Walton High. The Jaguars smothered Walton for the majority of the first and second periods and held a 49-21 lead at half-time.
Although each team won in a different fashion, both East Gadsden and West Gadsden girls basketball teams won round one of the FHSAA State Series playoffs this past Thursday night in their home gyms.
East Gadsden handily extinguished Defuniak Springs - Walton by 71-30. West Gadsden did it the hard but exciting way when freshman Martaishia Atkins hit a three-
pointer from the left corner just outside the arc in overtime with time expiring for a 55-52 win over Chipley in 1A Region semifinal competition.
Last Friday the Jaguars traveled to Marianna to battle the Bulldogs for the district championship. The game was extremely close going into the second half, and a lay-in by Robert Cox increased the Jags' lead to 29-24 with 3:29 left in the third period.
Shanks gymnasium was already near maximum capacity mid-way through the J.V. game against East and West Gadsden this past Saturday night, and by the time the Varsity teams ran onto the floor to warm-up the entire building was filled with anxious fans ready to see the much anticipated rematch between these two rivals.
In her first year as head coach, Cheryl Moody, a native of Gadsden County has led the Lady Panthers to a district title. The Lady Panther Basketball Team as not clinched the District Title since 2007. Although her team is young, they are starting to understand what it takes to win ball games. Her coaching philosophy is "rebounding and defense win ball games." Their district record is 8-0, and the overall record is 13-8.
By Dillon Appleman
The East Gadsden Lady Jaguars and the West Gadsden Lady Panthers are in the driver's seat for the opening game of the next round of the state series starting this week. East Gadsden won the 4A District 2 and West Gadsden won the 1A District 4 titles in dominating fashion. Both teams also used the home-court advantage by hosting districts in their own gyms.

Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely and the City Parks and Recreation Department will award grants from the Self-Help Program to 26 neighborhood associations and community organizations today, February 13, during the Mayor's Neighborhood Roundtable meeting beginning at 4:30 p.m. in Room 113 at the County-City Building, 555 South 10th.
"The Self-Help Program is a great way to stretch our City funds, because volunteers provide the labor for these projects," said Mayor Wesely. "The projects are an opportunity for people to get directly involved in their neighborhoods and to show the pride we all have in our outstanding parks system."
Parks and Recreation Director Lynn Johnson said more than $55,000 in project requests were submitted for the $45,000 available through the Self-Help Program. "We are pleased with the ongoing interest and support in improving Lincoln's parks," Johnson said.
The Self-Help Program is funded through City general tax revenues and is approved by the City Council each year as part of the City budget process. The program typically provides for equipment and materials. Projects must be constructed on publicly owned property or involve programs available to the general public. The criteria for choosing which projects are funded include location, neighborhood support for the project and consistency with park plans.

TripAdvisor's most romantic hotels
Greece is home to the most romantic hotel in the world, according to Trip Advisor's latest Traveller's Choice awards -- well-timed with Valentine's Day next week.
Anastasis Apartments on the Greek island of Santorini topped the chart. Punters seemed to dig the view of the Aegean Sea from the hotel's infinity pool or outdoor Jacuzzi.
La Minerva in Capri, Italy, came second.
Perhaps more surprising were the results out of the United Kingdom -- six British hotels made it into the top 25. Among them is Cranleigh Boutique at the lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere. The hotel ranked third overall and costs as low as £85 (US$133) per night.
Cedar Manor Hotel and Restaurant in the neighboring area came fourth (rooms from £120 or US$188 per night). Both are in England.
Alchymist Residence Nosticova, a Gothic-style boutique hotel in Prague, came in at thirteenth (rooms from EUR175 or US$235). It has rooms named after royals and historical figures. According to the hotel's website, its most romantic room is the "Arcimboldo Junior Suite," named after the Prague-based Italian artist, Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
The Maldives dominated choices out of Asia, with five hotels in the chart.
According to TripAdvisor, the Traveller's Choice Award for the Most Romantic Hotels are based on millions of couples' reviews and posted opinions throughout 2012.

LONDON (Reuters) - Sergei Polunin, the Royal Ballet prodigy dubbed the bad boy of dance, has turned up in Moscow after fleeing a London performance last week, a spokeswoman for his Russian ballet company said on Tuesday.
It was the second vanishing act by the 23-year-old Ukrainian who dramatically quit Britain's Royal Ballet in January last year just a week before he was due to dance in "The Dream".
In his latest exodus, Polunin stopped showing up for rehearsals for the UK premiere of "Midnight Express" a week before the show was to start with director Peter Schaufuss expressing concern for a star known for his party lifestyle.
But a spokeswoman for the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theatre, where Polunin now dances, said on Tuesday that the star was fine and back in Moscow.
"He has not disappeared, he is in Moscow," said the spokeswoman for the Moscow-based theatre, adding that he was "alive and well. Nothing happened".
The reason for Polunin's sudden departure remains unknown.
The heavily tattooed Polunin is a rising star in the ballet world, joining the Royal Ballet at the age of 13 and at 21, becoming the youngest dancer to be made a principal.
After quitting the Royal Ballet last year, he told reporters that he found rehearsing "very boring" and wanted to give up ballet by the age of 26 as it was so grueling.
But he returned to the stage quickly, performing with Moscow's Stanislavsky Ballet.
His lead role in "Midnight Express", which opens at the London Coliseum on Tuesday, was taken by Johan Christensen who had been in rehearsals with Polunin.
The ballet, that Schaufuss first choreographed in 2000, is based on the 1977 memoir by Billy Hayes about being jailed in Turkey for drug smuggling. The book was also made into a film which won a Best Writing Academy Award for Oliver Stone.

I am fortunate to have access to a number of etching plates that my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Charles Philippe de Büren created in the 1780s. One is of the family crest, and I thought about giving original prints to de Büren family members around the world. I first tried a local print house in San Francisco, but the results were not what I had in mind.
Upon hearing of my vision, my cousin Bill Harsh came to the rescue, a skilled artist, printmaker and all-around great guy. I ventured over to his studio in Benicia and after a lengthy tutorial I was off and running; inking the etching plate, cleaning it, giving it a good "coup de main" and cranking it ever so deliberately through the press. To make the gift more authentic, the prints are made on Swiss linen paper from the 1730s.
Let's recap. An etching printed in 2010 by the great-great-great-great-grandson of the artist from a 230 year-old plate on 280 year-old paper. It was a good day, I have the black fingernails to prove it.

This Chinese Nissan GT-R stands out with its '90stastic three-tone lime green/blue/pink wrap. In West Guangzhou, born and raised...
The more you stare at this GT-R, the more it grows on you, unlike the spectacularly ugly pink Sbarro Ferrari 360.
We found this thing on Car News China, who also note that it was expensive customization, what with a new GTR retailing in China for about $245,000 USD (1.55 million yuan).

The Boesendorfer has been restored thanks to a donation from John and Jill Failey, Indianapolis. The concert will be held in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
"The Boesendorfer concert grand piano has served legions of music students, ensemble participants, faculty, and guest artists over the past quarter century," Music Department Chairman Larry Bennett said. "When the time came to make a decision about whether to have the piano restored or to trade it in for a different model, alumni, faculty, and students rose up in a chorus to say that we should not give up the piano."
Failey said the restoration and his donation of a Steinway B piano to Wabash early last year was a way to give back and stay connected with the music program that gave so much to him."
Failey was one of the College's first music majors. He went on to earn a masters degree from Indiana University in business administration.
His gift to restore the Austrian-made Boesendorfer creates a significant legacy.
"John and Jill's gift is really a celebration of what Wabash makes possible for its students," said Dean of Advancement Joe Emmick. "Thanks to the Faileys, the Boesendorfer program will ensure our piano students, many of whom are not music majors, have a world class instrument to learn their craft and hone their skills."
Failey served as president of his family business, Engineered Cooling Systems, Inc., in Carmel, before it was sold in 2005.
"Many of our students will go on to do many other things like John did," Emmick said. "They will succeed in business, medicine, law, or academic work, but they will keep with them a lifelong passion for music and playing the piano. That's something they will have learned at Wabash and something John and Jill have made possible for future generations of Wabash men."

For those of you generally quit reading within the first paragraph and don't ever make it to the description of the beer, this isn't the post to do that on. If anything, stop reading now and skip to the descriptions.
For those of you that just go for the boob/beer pic, you're lucky enough to get TWO shots this time, so you might want to move on as well.
For the one reader we have remaining with the attention span longer than 47 seconds (who is probably either dating one of us or trying to) here's the story with this brewery.
We visited Dry Dock Brewing Company after going to Crate and Barrel and picking out matching napkin holders. Actually it was Copper Kettle Brewing Company but the experience is pretty much the same. Needless to say, with no male tricked into driving us one of us had to drive (not me!) I was *forced* to drink almost all the beer so this brewery got a bit hazy for me and resulted in multiple instances of vomiting (You should pity her. Our nights generally end with me yelling "Drink! We don't leave any beer behind!" She's such a trooper. –Julia).
Most notably when driving up, this brewery had the douche of all douches at it. A Porsche (not even a very good one) was parked diagonally across two spots so that no one could park by his car and it would remain scratchless. Naturally, since we're assholes (especially when we've been drinking a bit), this display of douchery was not going to fly. (Should we have shown more empathy because the poor man probably had a small penis? Maybe. –Julia)
After first parking CORRECTLY in the spot next to him we decided it would be MUCH more fitting to follow his lead and ensure that Julia's Honda Civic also did not get any door dings.
As we parked, then backed out to repark to ensure that we were no more than 6 inches away from his precious Porsche, we noticed a man that must have been The Douche get up and stand in the window to stare at us intently. His face quickly twisted with anger when I hastily opened the door with no regard for what is certainly the only thing he has in his life worth anything.
If he hadn't left before us I would have force vomited right next to his car just for funsies. Instead, he left before us and Julia's car was left alone. Making it look like she was either a terrible lady driver, or a TOTAL baller. (I hope that this made people question what was so special about my car that I felt the need to park sideways. –Julia)
After waiting at the bar for an unreasonable amount of time we were finally given two pieces of paper with a drawing of a paddle to write the names of the beers we wanted for our samplers. Illiterate people should steer clear of this brewery as you will leave defeated and thirsty. They give you the beer on a paddle with holes in it for the beers to fit in which is clever since the whole theme of the brewery is nautical related. Which led to me exclaiming by the end of the evening, "This brewery is wonderful! And makes me want to f*ck a sailor!"
They have glass windows so you can see into the whole brewing area and see what happened to be the unfortunate brewer that was there when we were.
Since they had a lot of beers we had to take breaks in between drinking.
Vomit break so I could keep drinking the rest of the beers (She politely and calmly excuses herself too. –Julia)
Vomit break with some champion rallying so I could finish all the beers
Checking out the hot bald bartender and trying to take a pic of him since a hot bald man is VERY rare.
There were a lot of beers to try so we had two paddles.
Beer Descriptions!
Breakwater Pale Ale- Not as bitter as most pales.
J & L- 2 boobs
HMS Victory ESB – We were worried it would be terrible since ESB stands for Extra Shitty Beer. It starts out good, but then the end wasn't great. Very malty.
3 boobs- still awful, but better than other ESBs
U Boat Hefeweisen- Waves of disgusting. It took everything that we hate about these types of beer (banana and cloves) and somehow enhanced it.
MOOB. In fact, this beer was the Porsche of Moobs.
"Who likes the Germans, anyway? Except Matthew McConaghey. He's hot and on a U-Boat." (U571 reference)
Paragon Apricot Blonde – It smelled beautiful. The beer is light and delicious, and the apricot flavor tastes natural and overpowers your palate to just the right amount. As far as fruit beers goes this is a winner that even devout IPA drinkers (like myself) will admire.
"I wish I knew what a paragon was. I want to have sex with it."
HMS Old Ale – In general, we don't like things that are old. That was just a phase. One that we realized wasn't going to work out because either they tricked us into thinking they were fun but turned out to be 30 and boring, or that they wanted to have children and settle down and THAT certainly wasn't going to happen. This beer tasted like raisins. Wrinkly old raisins.
2 boobs
Enterprise IPA- slightly hoppy. Not the best IPA, but nowhere near the worst.
3 boobs
Vanilla Porter- This beer BLEW OUR MINDS. It was like drinking vanilla extract. It was smooth and bursting with flavor.
Double IPA – ??? We wrote nothing for this probably because we were both still speechless from the Orgasmic beer we had just had a small cat fight over who would get to finish it. ('Why didn't one of you just order that as another beer?' you might be asking. I don't know. Because. –Julia)
3 boobs
Belgian IPA- "I hate it. If I hadn't just thrown up, I would have to now. It tastes like the swill of the Hefeweisen."
Pilsner- this is another beer that was just there. Don't know if we're just getting too used to specialty beers that we can't tell when we come a cross a really good one anymore.
2 and a side
"It's a pilsner. It's a waste of time and water."
Daywalker Ginger- This wins for the best name of a beer. It smelled like a spa (in a good way). It wasn't bubbly and looked like juice. The ginger taste is strong. Good beer to swipe our Firk-card. At least we thought, until we realized that it wasn't the Firkin Beer (It was a letdown that only sad virgins who don't want to admit they're virgins and pretend that oral counts as swiping their v-card then are found out and mocked know) .
4 boobs. This beer will need to go head to head with the Mountain Sun ginger beer.
We learned a valuable lesson about secret pictures at this brewery being that if the flash goes off, its no longer a secret picture. Especially when you're sitting by the full length window and think it's hilarious that there's a guy smoking on a table while middle-aged women flock around him.

Thanks, Merron, for submitting a profile to Genimates.
To learn even more about Merron take a look at the About Me page on her blog.
Date April 26, 2011
Name Merron Riddiford
Are you a Hobbyist or Professional Genealogist? Extreme Hobbyist
What is your day job? Tourism Industry
How long have you been chasing ancestors? About 17 years
How did you get hooked on genealogy? I enjoyed stories from my Nana about her childhood and family and looking at her old photo albums full of photos which I never tired of looking at. I started researching my family history to fulfill my own curiosity but also to give Nana an insight into her ancestors. I know she was proud of her Scottish bloodlines. Nana passed away only three weeks ago at almost 92 years and I will miss sharing my discoveries with her.
What, if any, formal or informal studies have you undertaken that are relevant to genealogical research? I have previously completed two units of study with the National Institute of Genealogical Studies and I am almost finished the unit Social Media for Genealogists.
I am looking forward to starting a Certificate of Genealogical Studies with the Society of Australian Genealogists soon.
What are your areas of Expertise in Genealogy? Social Media...or is just because I am always using it?
Please outline your involvement in Genealogy Societies and Groups. I am a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists.
What are the lands of your ancestors? Most of my ancestors are from England - Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Buckinghamshire and Kent but I do have some Scottish and Irish ancestry
What Family Names are you Researching? Bishop, Diwell, Gamble, Hadden, Harman, Riddiford
Who is your favourite ancestor? Why? That is a difficult question and the answer changes continuously. Apologies to my other favourites, but at the moment it would have to be Ellen Barry (Gamble) my wild Irish great, great, great grandmother. She is my earliest Australian arrival in 1840 and I recently read court records from Colac, which record numerous charges against her of swearing and drunkenness. She eventually died in a house fire in 1882 age 56. The coroner found she was most likely drunk and knocked over a candle. While she met a sad end, Ellen is a colourful character in my tree who would have shocked some of my staunch Methodist ancestors.
What ancestral city or town would you like to visit? Why? Cuddington in Buckinghamshire, England to visit The Crown Inn a pub where my great grandfather Thomas William Cooke Riddiford was born in 1875. His father was the publican at the time. Many English pubs are closing but The Crown Inn is still operating and the exterior looks unchanged since the Riddifords where there.
What is your favourite resource for genealogy? It is with no doubt the National Library of Australia's Trove. I mostly use the digitised newspapers and they have given me a much better understanding of life in early Victoria and the activities my ancestors participated in. I also find the Family Notices fill in many gaps particularly from the 1920s onwards.
Do you keep your genealogy files on paper? Yes
Do you keep your genealogy files on a computer? Yes
What genealogy software do you use to record your family tree? I began with the The Master Genealogist which I really liked. When it was time to upgrade I went for Family Tree Maker because I was interested in the interface with Ancestry.com. However I do prefer the reports generated by TMG and I recently downloaded a trial of the most recent edition which I did like, so it looks like I will be buying more software!
Do you have your tree posted on the internet? Yes
If Yes What is the URL? http://trees.ancestry.com.au/
What Social Networking Sites do you use for genealogy? Ancestry, Facebook, Genealogy Wise, Twitter
Do you have a blog? Yes
What are your blogs' URLs? http://mywdfamilies.wordpress.
What are your Other Hobbies, Activities, Interests? Animals, Sport, Australian Comedy and the Media.
What is your favourite lesiure time activity apart from genealogy? Gardening
What is your favourite (non genealogy) book? All That Happened at Number 26 - Denise Scott

Fiscal 2011 agricultural exports are forecast at a record $126.5 billion, up $13.5 billion from the August forecast and $17.8 billion above final 2010 exports.
Exports are forecast to exceed the previous record set in 2008 by more than $11.5 billion. Sharply higher unit values for leading export commodities account for most of the forecast increase in value.
The fiscal 2011 export forecast for livestock, poultry, and dairy is raised $1.2 billion to $23 billion, with gains in all but poultry.
Beef exports are forecast at $3.7 billion, up $500 million on higher unit values and volumes. Despite lower beef production, strong Asian demand is expected to foster shipments.
The export forecast for dairy products is raised $300 million as import demand remains robust and global unit values, particularly for butterfat, remain relatively strong.
Pork exports are forecast to reach $4.6 billion, up $100 million, on higher unit values as demand remains firm in major markets. Modest gains are expected in hides and skins, raised $300 million, as improving global economic conditions bolster demand.
Escalating unit values for feed and lower cattle slaughter should support higher animal fat values, forecast $300 million higher.
Poultry product exports are forecast down $300 million to $4.7 billion, primarily on lower broiler meat unit values as domestic production expands.
Soybean exports are forecast up more than $5 billion from the August forecast due to higher unit vales along with strong demand from key markets such as China.
Grains are up nearly $4 billion due mostly to higher corn and wheat export unit values. Wheat exports are also expected to benefit from reduced export competition.
Cotton exports are forecast up $2 billion mostly on higher unit values as U.S. and global stocks tighten.
Beef exports are forecast up on strong Asian demand while horticultural exports are expected down slightly. Asia accounts for more than half of the increased forecast, with China up more than any other market ($2.5 billion) to $17.5 billion and only half a billion less than the top market of Canada.
The import forecast for 2011 is moved up to $85.5 billion, an 8.2-percent increase over 2010. Consumer spending for food and beverages has climbed recently, as has disposable personal income. The projected import growth in 2011 reflects about 2-3 percent volume gain and 6 percent increase in import unit values.
Major commodities inflating the U.S. import bill include coffee beans, cocoa beans, coconut oil, palm oil, rubber, and sugar.

Cain and Anke's search for Bill Morton begins. However, one of the pack has friends in dark places and has already discovered Bill's whereabouts. Cain, Anke and Storm, pay Bill a visit and recover the communication device from him. Little do they know or realize what Bill Morton has in mind. Except Storm... Several of the pack become dissatisfied. They want the riches Minharia offers and take them back to Earth. This causes unrest among them. Storm, the instigator, is in contact with Bill Morton. She enlists the help of one of the other members of the pack. Together the three of them plot to get their hands on the Minharian emeralds. Cain and Anke are unaware at first of what's going on, but soon one of them picks up Storm's thoughts and is alerted. Storm manages to block them out, but not before they have learned that she's up to something. Bill Morton wants it all and has no intention of sharing. He carefully plans the elimination of the pack so he can have the portal and the wealth it can give him for himself.

The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) has approved the 200 MW Searchlight Wind Energy Project, which will be built on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Searchlight, Nev.
The Western Area Power Administration is proposing to construct, operate and maintain a new switching station to connect the project to the existing power grid. When built, the project will provide enough electricity to power approximately 70,000 homes, according to the DOI. The facility will create an estimated 275 peak jobs and 15 operational jobs, and generate about $18.6 million in property- and sales-tax revenue for local government.
The DOI also approved two major solar projects: the 750 MW McCoy Solar Energy Project and the 150 MW Desert Harvest Solar Farm, both of which are located in California.
All three projects underwent extensive environmental review and public comment, and the developers agreed to undertake significant mitigation efforts to minimize impacts to wildlife, water, historical, cultural and other resources, the DOI says. State and federal agencies have set up a joint compensation fund operated by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to help mitigate impacts.

Wetland Plants of Wisconsin
|Ceratophyllum demersum L.
Family: Ceratophyllaceae
Ceratophyllum demersum is an aquatic species, submersed or floating near the surface of the water. It lacks roots and is often found to be unattached to the substrate, though the stem may occasionally be anchored in the substrate by the stem and lower (modified) leaves. Leaves are whorled around the stem at each node and are dichotomously branched once or twice (see leaf photos). The ultimate divisions bear coarse teeth, typical few and far apart, and therefore perhaps appearing as small spines.
Ceratophyllum demersom is extremely common in Wisconsin, usually in calm water and doing best in well-nourished conditions.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
With the full breakdown of US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, the Jewish state is hinting at a full renewal of "settlement activity" in Judea and Samaria.
In a visit with settlement leaders in the Benjamin Regional Council on Tuesday, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon insisted that the presence of Jews in Judea and Samaria was crucial to Israel's security and future in the region.
"There is no security without the settlement enterprise. Where there is no settlement enterprise, there is no security," said Ya'alon.
Later that same day, Housing Minister Uri Ariel told a Jerusalem Day celebration that not only would Jerusalem never again be divided, but that the government would also stop freezing the building of Jewish homes in other parts of the disputed territories. "There will be no more freezes — we won't allow it," Ariel stated.
According to Ariel, the end goal is that "there will be just one state between the Jordan River and the sea, and that is the State of Israel."
The statements by these two ministers come just days after reports that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had decided to adopt certain clauses from the findings of the Levy Committee established in 2012 to determine the legality of Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria.
Ha'aretz reported that in accordance with the Levy Committee findings, the government would significantly ease restrictions on Jewish construction in these areas.
Netanyahu himself commissioned the Levy Committee, a panel of jurists that included an international legal expert originally involved in formulating the so-called "Oslo Accords."
Drawing on "international, Jordanian, Israeli and even Ottoman laws," the Levy Committee concluded that "from the point of view of international law, the classical laws of 'occupation' as set out in the relevant international conventions cannot be considered applicable to the unique and sui generis historic and legal circumstances of Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria, over the course of decades."
The Geneva Conventions define "military occupation" as the seizing of another nation's land, and the fact is that no nation legally controlled Judea and Samaria following the fall of the Ottoman Empire, which itself had ruled the area for over five centuries.
Additionally, the Jews cannot be considered an outside force in Judea and Samaria, but rather the historic founders of the territory as a unified nation-state. Jewish archeological finds dating back millennia abound in the "West Bank."
Despite these legal and historical validations of a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria, the Palestinian leadership is adamant that Jewish settlement activity is the sole obstacle to peace.

Keoke necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Looking to get a logo for a new website that will make the company famous and people want to use R and R to do all thier construction needs in CT. Once choosen it will go on t shirts, letter head, a trailer and the website. It should be a marketable easy to use design, eye catching colors. The reason I choose R and R is to be able to market it: When you need a little R and R
Remodeling and Repair
a nice and neat logo, that is marketable for letterheard, website, shirts, trailer, trucks. etc. i am starting up a new home improvement contracting company that does stuff like windows, additions, kitchens, bathrooms. siding roofs etc. I am trying to emphasize quality and dependability.
- Item 1. I would like an eye catching design to brand home improvement work by R and R. A tagline i had envisioned is: "when you need a little R and R" - the color scheme i had though of was a gold and maroon, however the tag line and colors can all go in favor of something that works better. I just want it to be easy to be seen and recognized from a distance so the good old red white and blue are not bad colors either. Something that might illustrate a contracting / home improvement company - making things better.. like your home. quality/ dependability. I don't know how to make this thing give a list and number them. so i will just continue. I know this will be tough to portray dependable contractors but give it a shot. thanks.
- Item 1. What I don't want... this is harder.. something wordy, small print hard to read, not marketable pastel colors that give poor visibility when seen from a distance. I don't want something so big you cant put it on letterhead..you know the saying.. keep it simple.
