Free help available for tax return chore
Published 10:21 am, Saturday, March 9, 2013
Ready or not — it's here! It is time to file our tax returns. This seems to be something we all dread but are so relieved when our returns are filed before April 15.
There is free help available to get this chore completed. Swisher County RSVP has been providing tax preparation help for a number of years through AARP Tax-Aide. This free tax help is for taxpayers with low and middle income with special attention to those aged 60 and older.
If you are interested, call 995-2104 for an appointment. The service is provided on Thursdays only. The Swisher County Computer Lab is located at 321 S.W. Second St. in Tulia. When you call for an appointment, the RSVP staff will provide information on what documents to bring to your appointment. Spanish-speaking volunteers are available.
Tulia RSVP has already provided assistance this year to residents in Tulia, Plainview, Dimmitt, Lockney, Floydada and other area communities. If you need this assistance, call the Tulia RSVP office soon.
Other free tax return help for persons living in this area is available. In Lubbock the Coalition of Community Assistance Volunteers provides free income tax preparation through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. The Coalition was created in 2002 to help low-income residents of the South Plains become more financially self-sufficient. They can be contacted at 806-687-2228 or www.freetaxprep4u.org.
Also, the Texas Tech School of Law provides assistance with tax returns for low-income people in this area. Call 800-420-8037 for more information.
And when your tax return is filed, let out a big sigh of relief and smile. That's what I plan to do!
Through an education grant received from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, RSVP will travel to Lockney on Monday, March 11, to host a Lunch-and-Learn event. Information on breast health will be provided along with lunch. Nicki Logan and Charlotte Thurman, RSVP volunteers, are survivors and they will share their journeys with those in attendance.
The event for ladies will be held at noon in the Hospice Hands of West Texas Dove Room, 305 N. Main, in Lockney. If you can attend, call Rosie Rendon at 652-3002 or Elsa Cooper at 292-2265. You may also call the RSVP office at 291-1224. We hope to see you there!
The RSVP Advisory Council will meet at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, March 12, at the Hale County Senior Citizens Center, 1107 Smyth, Plainview. Also, the February and March birthdays will be celebrated at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, March 13, at McDonald's Restaurant. Call the RSVP office if you will be able to attend.

DIGICEL Fiji has warned it will take legal action against the Fiji Rugby Union to protect its contractual rights to properties which it has sponsored since 2006.
The mobile phone company had asked FRU to sign a memorandum of agreement by yesterday afternoon so that it could immediately release a cash advance of $250,000 to Rugby House.
In a statement yesterday, Digicel chief executive Maurice McCarthy confirmed the company's next move and said they were committed towards the growth of the sport.
McCarthy said: "We understand how important rugby is to the people of Fiji and we as part of this nation want to ensure that we can continue to help support the growth of the sport," he said.
"We are disappointed that this involved legal proceedings but we are firm on our commitments to Fiji and to rugby."
He said they hoped to find an amicable solution.
Questions sent to the FRU yesterday remained unanswered when this edition went to press.
Rugby House had earlier deferred the announcement of its sponsors as it searches for the best offer.

I didn't make this recipe in the summertime, which was a mistake. It comes from David Rocco's Made in Italy cookbook. I was completely attracted to the dish because of its delightful combination of many colorful veggies and the fact that it isn't cooked. You just mix everything together and let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours. So this is "raw cooking" so far as I can tell. That's unusual for weirdcombinations.
That said, the amount of couscous was a bit daunting for two people. I'd cut it in half or even in quarters next time. Plus, since it was chilled, it wasn't quite right for our cooler weather. But this would be perfect to throw together the night before a summertime wine country excursion, so I'm going to file it away for then.
chilled summer couscous
2 cups couscous
½ cup olive oil
24oz can chopped tomatoes with juice
Juice of one lemon
1 red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
About a dozen cherry tomatoes, in halves
12 kalamata olives in halves
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Mix everything together except half of the basil. Wrap and refrigerate for several hours. Stir at least once. When it is time to serve, add remaining basil. You can have this family style or mold and plate it for a more elegant presentation.

THE UNCLE of missing yachtsman Steve Warren said the family would not abandon hope even as the US Coast Guard spoke of suspending the search if no trace of the vessel was found.
The US search for the four sailors on board the Cheeki Rafiki was due to end last night unless evidence showed the crew could still be located alive.
The Foreign Office said the US had gone above and beyond in its efforts to find the British yatchtsmen, Steve Warren, 52, from Bridgwater, Paul Goslin, 56, from West Camel, Andrew Bridge, 22, from Farnham and 22-year-old James Male, from Romsey. It said an RAF Hercules plane would continue searching today.
Steve's uncle Albert Davey, of Royal Wootton Bassett, said the family were still hopeful, although they also had to be realistic about the situation.
"We realise we are praying for a miracle," said the 76-year-old, of Longleaze.
"For his mother Margaret and the family they are still missing and there are going to be many difficult days ahead if the search draws a blank and ends. You have got to have hope but you also have to be realistic about the situation."
The Cheeki Rafiki, based in Southampton, was sailing back to the UK from Antigua when it went missing on Friday, May 16 in the Atlantic. The US Coast Guard came under fire for ending the search after only two days, although it claimed that the crew could only have survived for 20 hours in such difficult weather conditions.
Relatives launched a campaign to see the operation resume, winning the support of celebrities, top sailors, politicians and more than 200,000 people who signed an online petition.
Albert added: "Obviously something happened, a combination of a possible fault and the horrific weather.
"The family are extremely grateful for the coverage the media has given them and in particular the petition which over 200,000 people signed in order to have the search prolonged."

I was in the mood for a "gorgeous" dinner tonight, and looked in our garden. It's the end of summer and our garden has been better days, but we still have some stragglers: eggplant, tomato, green bean, green and red peppers, and great herbs. Voila! Instant dinner…Check it out, and enjoy the end of your summer! ~ Kimberly Edwards 😀
Type: Pasta Recipe
Serve With: Your favorite wine!
Prep Time: 5-10 min
Cook Time: 15-20 min
Yield: Serves 5
- 1 pkg (450 g) bucatini – or any other shaped pasta you like
- 450 g shrimp – You could use scallops, mussels, lobster, crab…if you like.
- 2 1/2 cups chopped vegetables – use a mis of whatever you have; I had eggplant, onion, green & red pepper, and green beans.
- 2 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup olives – chopped
- 3/4 cup white wine – Use your favorite or what you have, even if it's red.
- 2 cloves garlic – finely minced
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- ~ 12 leaves basil – fresh or 1/2 tsp dry
- handful of parsley – fresh or 1/2 tsp dry
- freshly cracked black pepper – to taste
- 1 tbsp sea salt + to taste
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp red chili pepper flakes – or to taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey
- freshly cracked black pepper – to taste
- 1 tbsp sea salt + to taste
- Parmesan cheese – to sprinkle
1. Put stock pot/large pot of water with the salt and bay leaf on stove on high heat to boil. When water boils, add whole package of pasta and stir frequently until pasta is about 2-3 min away from being al dente. Add shrimp at this point (2-3 min before al dente), and bring back to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, strain entire pot into a collander. Coat with rest of olive oil, ~3 tbsp.
2. While waiting for water to boil, wash and chop vegetables, keeping harder vegetables together separately, and softer vegetables together separately.
3. In a large frying pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil on medium-high heat.
4. Start sauteeing hard vegetables in frying pan for about 5-8 min. Then, add soft vegetables and sautee for ~3 min. Add some of the cracked black pepper and red chili pepper flakes.
5. Add tomatoes, olives and garlic, and sautee for ~ 5 min.
6. Add wine, 1/2 of the chopped herbs and reduce for ~3 min.
7. Once pasta and shrimp are finished and coated with olive oil, cover it with the vegetable sauce mixture.
8. Toss everything with the remaining cracked black pepper and chili pepper flakes, and cover the pasta with parmesean cheese.
9. Serve and Enjoy!
This went off as a real hit tonight! The olives and Parmesan cheese are all the salt you need, and the balance of tomato acidity and sweetness. Fresh deliciousness from the garden at the end of summer…As I've said before, I intend to squeeze every last bit out of summer! Beautiful!
I hope you enjoyed this Shrimp Recipe on Cooking With Kimberly. Until next time…
Eat Deliciously!

the geek humor is gone replaced by "Joe Smo" humor. The integration of the female characters has been poor; with a poor understanding the female humor bone by male writers. The heavy reliance of the Sheldon character has all of the other characters pushed off to the side when it was the opposite in the beginning of the series showing Sheldon as a sounding board to showing society's own quirks and regimens. It has turned into a one-trick pony with below average story telling.
To quell my disappointment I've had to stop watching the show.

Gene Loss Can Cause Leukemia, Flanders Institute for Biotechnology Researchers Find
Published: Jun 08, 2010
ScienceDaily (June 8, 2010) — Researchers from VIB and K.U.Leuven, both in Flanders, Belgium, have discovered a new factor in the development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a disease that mainly affects children. In the cells of the patients, the specific gene PTPN2 ceases to function, causing the cancer cells to survive longer and grow faster. The study provides genetic and functional evidence for a tumor suppressor role of PTPN2.

New Europe's FREE Walking Tour of London: Royal London

New Europe's FREE Walking Tour of London: Royal London Reviews
171 reviews
FREE, funny, informative tour Sep 01, 2012
I will always, without exception, vouch for the Sandemann's New Europe walking tours. They are entirely free (except for the optional tip at the end) and so funny and worthwhile.
It's a three hour long walking tour (there is a break half way for about ten minutes) of London that focuses on the weird, the funny, the incredibly interesting. You'' learn things on these tours that you never would have known before.
For instance, a drunken Irish man, years ago, managed to break into Buckingham Palace. He Proceeded to drink a bottle of the queen's wine!
They bring you all around the city and tell you interesting facts.
The only thing i will say is that because London is so big there was a lot of walking and not enough fact-relaying as there were on the other New Europe tours i went on.
Great way to spend a day :D

Best tour of London ever and completley free! Sep 13, 2008
Sandman's Free Walking Tours of Europe are a great way to get introduced to a new city. What more could you ask for – exploring the city, visiting all the must-see sites, learning all the history behind these places, and doing it for FREE! That's right, these tours are free! The tour guides work on a tips only payment and believe me, it's the truth, my friend Michael works for them. In fact, he was the one who did our Royal London Tour.
A friend had come over to London at the start of her European tour and as her first stop was London I thought it would be a good idea to take her on Michael's tour. One, so she could see all the things that London has to offer and Two, because even though I live in London I still like to be a tourist too! There are two tours in London, the Royal London tour and the Old City of London tour. Michael runs the Royal Tour so we decided to do that one.
The Royal tour starts every day at 11am and 3pm rain or shine. The meeting spot is at Wellington's Arch and as soon as a group had arrived, the tour began. First we learned all about Mr. Wellington himself and why he's so famous. Apparently beating Napoleon will earn you rights to the name of a pair of boots and a delicious dish!
From there we headed to Buckingham palace where Michael told us the history of the Royal Family and some of the famous break-ins the palace has seen. I am torn between the German students who were camping on the grounds and didn't get caught until they were trying to find their way out or the break-in of the drunk guy who only got nailed on stealing a bottle of wine, as at that time it wasn't illegal to break into Buckingham Palace. From there Michael will take you to some stationary guards to play with and get the most touristy photo London has to offer. God help Michael if he runs into these guys when they are off duty!
Onwards from Buckingham Palace we took a stroll up the residence of Prince Charles, William, and Harry. We knocked, but they were out for the afternoon. On our way to Big Ben we stopped off at the Horse Calvary , 10 Downing street, and Churchill's War Bunkers. After Big Ben we went onwards to West Minster Abbey and the Parliament Buildings. All along the way we were learning stuff we would have never find out on our own and listening to interesting facts that are sometimes too funny to believe.
The tour lasts 2.5-3 hours and is all walking so make sure you wear decent walking shoes. I recommend the tour to anyone who is coming to London for a short time and wants to fit in as much as possible during their stay. Not only do you get to see all the famous sites of London, you get to learn about them from people who seriously know their stuff and have fun sharing with you.
These FREE tours are also offered in Edinburgh, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Madrid. For more information go to http://www.neweuropetours.eu/

More About American Pit Bull Terrier Breed
- Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
- Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
- Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
- Start looking… Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
- Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM-EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio-Black clergy, community activists, family members of victims of crime and others will rally in East Cleveland, a largely Black and impoverished suburb of Cleveland, on Saturday, July 22 beginning at 3 pm at Shaw High School football statium, the second of three "Casket Crusades" sponsored by the Word Church and its senior pastor the Rev Dr. R.A. Vernon, a three Saturdays event to draw attention to heightened community deaths due to drug abuse and violence.
The event is open to the public, organizers said.
The Word Church is an umbrella baptist church with four locations, one in Akron, another in Cleveland on Kinsman Road on the city's east side, a third in East Cleveland, and its headquarters in Warrensville Heights, a staunch middle class Black suburb of Cleveland.
Founded in 2000, it boasts a congregation of some 30,000 people.
Saturday's East Cleveland event is also promoted by the grassroots groups Black on Black Crime Inc. and the Black Man's Army, though spearheaded by the prominent Word Church, and will begin at 3 pm at the Shaw High School football stadium with a scheduled 5 pm service, organizers said.
East Cleveland has some 18,000 largely Black residents, a household median income of $20,000, and skyrocketing poverty and crime.
The first of the three "Casket Crusade" marches occurred through the streets of neighboring Akron, Ohio last Saturday and was led by Vernon where the marchers carried empty caskets to symbolize the loss of lives. It drew hundreds, with the third and final march set for Saturday, July 29, a procession beginning at 3 pm at East Technical High School and a service later that day at 5 pm on Public Square in downtown Cleveland.
Drug overdoses in America exceeded 59,000 in 2016, a New York Times report reveals, the largest annual jump in history on years, with heroine and opioid deaths, which predominate in the nation's White communities, reaching epidemic figures.
Drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death of Americans under the age of 50.
Ohio is in trouble too, 2016 seeing some 4,100 deaths from unintentional overdoses, a leap of 36 percent from the previous year.
Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, saw record levels of heroine and fentanyl deaths last year too, figures that have nearly doubled in 2017 in some comparison months, with an overall increase of 24 percent in the Black community for fentanyl deaths, data say.
Violent crime statistics are no better.
An average of 15,000 people are murdered each year nationally over a period of the last three years with an increase since 2014, and 71 percent of the incidents involved a forearm. And over 80,000 annual rapes nationwide, and more that 300,000 robberies, the FBI reports.
According to Cleveland.com, Cleveland saw the deadliest year in decades in 2016 for violent crimes with some 136 deaths, a 13 percent increase from 2015.

Cosmopolitan Greetings
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
The dazzling linguistic invention, the heart-cheering spiritual generosity, the seriousness of political purpose and the endearing wry self-conscious humor that marked Allen Ginsberg's work from the publication of his landmark poem HOWL in 1956 are still present in his latest collection of poetry. Issued on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his historic meeting with Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs, COSMOPOLITAN GREETINGS shows Ginsberg faithful to his visionary goals for humankind while writing from the perspective of a man who sees himself now (in "Personals Ad") as a "Poet professor in autumn years."
The great themes and primary concerns of Ginsberg's life continue to form the substance of his poetic inquiry, but now, the inescapable consequences of time's passage have added a dimension of rueful reflection to the exuberant physicality and sexual candor that have been a part of Ginsberg's groundbreaking personal voice and style. As the shape of American literary history now clearly indicates the importance of the best writers of the Beat Generation, Ginsberg's own reflections on his fellow artists and friends have taken on the added interest of a significant commentary by an energetic advocate for the work he supported and taught.
The deep feeling for longtime friends and the awareness of loss as his contemporaries seem to merge in his mind with prominent older historical personages has not led to a diminution...

Audio Recordings
Dialogue on Man
Thanks to a lead provided by former Becker student, in 2015 the Ernest Becker Foundation located audio files of presentations in which Becker participated as part of the "Dialogue on Man" series in 1972. The series was produced by CBC radio and the UBC Department of Continuing Education. Although the sound quality is not what we would like, these recordings present a rare opportunity for Becker fans to hear the man himself speak about his ideas.

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to automatic theory refinement. In contrast to other systems, the approach is capable of modifying a theory which contains multiple faults and faults which occur at intermediate points in the theory. The approach uses explanations to focus the corrections to the theory, with the corrections being supplied by an inductive component. In this way, an attempt is made to preserve the structure of the original theory as much as possible. Because the approach begins with an approximate theory, learning an accurate theory takes fewer examples than a purely inductive system. The approach has application in expert system development, where an initial, approximate theory must be refined. The approach also applies at any point in the expert system lifecycle when the expert system generates incorrect results. The approach has been applied to the domain of molecular biology and shows significantly better results then a purely inductive learner.
Abduction is an important inference process underlying much of human intelligent activities, including text understanding, plan recognition, disease diagnosis, and physical device diagnosis. In this paper, we describe some problems encountered using abduction to understand text, and present some solutions to overcome these problems. The solutions we propose center around the use of a different criterion, called explanatory coherence, as the primary measure to evaluate the quality of an explanation. In addition, explanatory coherence plays an important role in the construction of explanations, both in determining the appropriate level of specificity of a preferred explanation, and in guiding the heuristic search to efficiently compute explanations of sufficiently high quality.
This article discusses how explanation-based learning of plan schemata from observation can improve performance of plan recognition. The GENESIS program is presented as an implemented system for narrative text understanding that learns schemata and improves its performance. Learned schemata allow GENESIS to use schema-based understanding techniques when interpreting events and thereby avoid the expensive search associated with plan-based understanding. Learned schemata also function as new concepts that can be used to cluster examples and index events in memory. In addition. experiments are reviewed which demonstrate that human subjects, like GENESIS, can learn a schema by observing, explaining, and generalizing a single specific instance presented in a narrative.

Couples are fighting over President Trump more than ever, and many are turning to divorce court to get out of their politically ravaged marriages.
New data from Wakefield Research found that one in 10 couples, married and not, have ended their relationships in a battle over political differences. For younger millennials, it's 22 percent.
And nearly one in three Americans said that political clashes over Trump have "had a negative impact on their relationship," said the report provided to Secrets.
"Since Donald Trump's election, political discourse in the U.S. has been more tense and divisive than ever," Wakefield said.
Call it the end of the Carville-Matalin era, when relationships like Clinton adviser James Carville's marriage to Bush family adviser Mary Matalin were celebrated.
"Passionately opposing points of views are not only driving wedges between strangers and even friends, but we are now seeing evidence that this dissent is having a detrimental impact on Americans' marriages and relationships," the report said.
In fact, 24 percent of Americans in a relationship or married and 42 percent of millennials told the survey that "since President Trump was elected, they and their partner have disagreed or argued about politics more than ever."
Two unrelated online dating reports confirmed the rise of political incompatibility. They showed that Democrats are especially unlikely to date a Trump-supporting Republican, but Republicans are more inclined to give Clinton-supporting Democrats a try.
In confirming those reports, Wakefield found that even Americans not in relationships would consider divorce if their partner didn't agree with them on politics.
"Among Americans who did not vote for Trump and who are not in a relationship with a partner who voted for Trump, a third (33 percent) would consider divorce if they had a spouse who voted for Donald Trump. This number jumps to 43 percent among Millennials who did not vote for Trump or have a partner who voted for him," said Wakefield.
Virginia "super lawyer" Grant T. Moher, managing partner of Fairfax-based family law firm Curran Moher Weis, said political divisions have "never" become so bad that divorce was the answer. "But," he told Secrets, "in the wake of the whole Trump phenomenon, people have gotten to the point of divorce over political divisions."
He cited one potential client, a Muslim who immigrated to the United States a child, who was married to a white American woman for 20 years. Neither was political until Trump hit the scene, and "all of sudden she developed a real affinity for Trump."
Part of that was her questioning her husband's Muslim background. "She was questioning his patriotism. It was a huge rift in their marriage," said Moher.
Moher said the Trump effect is the talk in divorce courts and that it's also driven couples to marriage counseling. "Yes, this is an issue," he said, giving a simple and blunt reason: "You're either with him or against him."

Some pitchers just don't have it. You can tell from the first inning you ever see them throw. Some pitchers look dominant from day one and besides some growing pains, you always feel like it will all click eventually. Then there is Mike Pelfrey.
We have all heard about how filthy Big Pelf's stuff is. How unhittable his "bowling ball sinker" can be, etc etc. So why isn't he dominating after 80 ML starts? Why is he still having trouble putting hitters away? I noticed something fairly obvious in his last spring training start, and if what I saw is true, there is still hope. However if I'm wrong, I can't sincerely see, how Mike Pelfrey will ever become a bona fide frontline starting pitcher.
I think Mike is tipping his pitches. Now there are two ways to tip pitches, one is where something obvious happens like you spread your glove differently for breaking pitches, one guy notices and soon the entire opposing team knows. Then there is the way that isn't quite tangible. No one player can pick it out, but somehow they "feel" what's coming. I think Mike Pelfrey suffers from a case of the latter. Here's my proof.
One can plainly see how filthy his sinker is, especially when it hits 94-95 on the gun. What I saw in his last ST start, was various players continuously fouling of nasty 94 mph sinkers in… Then fouling off some solid sliders out…IN THE SAME A-BAT! How is this possible? I don't think it is, unless the hitters knew what was coming.
In one at-bat against Ryan Ludwick, a solid but unspectacular hitter, I saw Ryan foul of some insanely filthy 2 strike pitches with utter confidence, even breaking balls….until the point that Pelf grooved a slider and Ludwick jumped on it. This simply does not happen to guys with good stuff, especially in Spring Training. I realized this happens to big Pelf way too often, even when he is "on."
We have seen this with John Maine as well; the difference is that Maine has a sneaky, but straight fastball, that doesn't fool anyone. Pelfrey's ball moves and bores. No scout can tell me that Ryan Ludwick should have such little problem continuously fighting off perfectly located sinkers, splitters, and sliders like that. He looked like a hitter who knew what was coming, and there is only one hitter in baseball that can do this on a regular basis, who also happens to be on the Cardinals.
If I am wrong, Pelfrey will simply never be anywhere near the #2 he is projected to be right now. If I am wrong, his stuff is a TV optical illusion and a hype lie perpetrated by various scouts and officials. If I am wrong; we are in deeper trouble than we all think we are this season. If Mike Pelfrey pitches less than 180 innings this year the Mets do not compete.

LONDON (Sep. 24)
A Czech Communist official has charged that a "secretary of the Israel Embassy in Prague" is involved in an alleged conspiracy by Communist reformers to "take over the leadership of the party and the country with the aid of psychological and physical terror."
According to Jan Piller, secretary of the Communist Party Bureau, the Israeli, identified as Zucker, was often seen in the company of reformist leaders headed by the former Czech minister, Dr. Frantisek Kriegel. Mr. Piller contended on a Prague radio broadcast that the alleged conspirators had been meeting since last spring. There has been no Israeli Embassy in Prague since June, 1967 when Czechoslovakia severed diplomatic relations with Israel.
Prague radio expressed disappointment that President Richard M. Nixon said nothing about Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly last week. According to Prague, that proved "American support for Israeli aggression." In general, according to Prague radio, the President "did not come up with a fundamentally new stand but some of his formulations indicated a shift in attitudes."

Travel podcasts for home and the road
One of the most powerful tools of the social media movement is the podcast. They have become hugely popular because they allow us to be informed or entertained while doing any number of other things in our lives, such as commuting, exercising or eating. What's more, there are podcasts for just about any subject you can imagine, including traveling. There are dozens of podcasts for the traveler. Indeed, travelers will find podcasts especially useful during their travels, particularly on long flights and airport layovers. Fred Perrotta, co-founder of Tortuga Backpacks and a travel enthusiast and writer, notes that most international flights still don't have wi-fi, so his prescription for passing time includes listening to podcasts, which can be downloaded onto a smartphone free of charge, then listened to without an internet connection. We turned to Perrotta, Gecko Adventures and the Zero to Travel Podcasts Directory to find some of the podcasts that might interest you. Here is a synopsis … (click on the headline to continue reading)

Horus Engels
|Richard "Horus" Engels
|Biographical information
|Unknown, during the 1980's
Richard "Horus" Engels (1914- unknown, deceased) was a German painter, sculptor and illustrator.
Richard Engels was born in London, Great Britain, as son of an American father and a German mother. In his youth Richard Engels lived in Berlin and studied in Paris. He fought in the second World War, and was captured by the Russian Army. Afterwards, he moved to Wolfsburg, where he met his later wife, with whom he has a son and a daughter.
Engels put much detail and coloration in his illustration, as can be seen in his ten pictures about the tales by the Brothers Grimm. His studio was in the castle Neuhaus near Wolfsburg. Richard Engels was a member of the Subud-organization. In artistic circles he was known as "Horus".
The Hobbit
In 1946 Richard Engels contacted J.R.R. Tolkien for a German edition of The Hobbit and sent him two illustrations (the trolls and Gollum), which Tolkien found "too Disnified". In 1957 the German publishing company Paulus-Verlag published the first German translation of The Hobbit made by Walter Scherf as Kleiner Hobbit und der große Zauberer in which Engels' illustrations were printed.

It's quite a week for My Week With Marilyn star Michelle Williams.
The actress, who will be vying for an Academy Award on Sunday, became the first honorary Irishwoman at the annual Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film event on Thursday. The ceremony was hosted by the U.S.-Ireland Alliance and was held on the roof of J.J. Abrams' production offices in Santa Monica.
"I consider it [the award] is from a land from a people who are known for poetry, for literature and lore, for myth and legend," Williams said during her acceptance speech to a crowd that included Steven Spielberg, Colin Farrell and her Marilyn costar Kenneth Branagh. "Being in a business that is about storytelling, I'm honored to be acknowledged by the original storytellers."
Hugo screenwriter John Logan presented Williams with the prize, telling BBC News, that she was worthy of such an honor because being Irish means "an incandescent twinkle in the eye, the love of mad poetry and more than anything a generosity of spirit."
Previous honorees who, like Williams, have no Irish connections include Paul Rudd and James L. Brooks.

Grandmother accused of being racist for setting her home on fire burning her two interracial grandchildren aliveBy Mason White 4:13 PM July 17, 2016
|Linda Anne Dunavant with her grandchildren
By: Mahesh Sarin
(Scroll down for video) It was a very sad day after a grandmother turned on her biracial grandchildren and killed them by setting fire to her home.
The grandmother of Covington, Tennessee, agreed to babysit the children for the night while her daughter went to a friend's house nearby.
Police said that Linda Anne Dunavant, set her house on fire at around 3:00 a.m. She ran out of the home and sought medical attention.
Dunavant was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center, after suffering burn wounds.
However, according to her daughter, the evil grandmother did not tell anyone that her grandaughters were inside the home.
When the daughter heard firefighters, she ran outside and saw her mother's home on fire.
She ran to check on her children, 6-month-old Ameya and one and a half-year-old Jaleah. They were removed from the home, but they both died at the hospital.
Police arrested the grandmother after it was determined that she deliberately set her home on fire while the children were sleeping.
The fire destroyed the home in the 1700 block of Shoaf Street near Smith Avenue.
Dunavant was charged with two counts of first-degree felony murder, two counts of aggravated child neglect and aggravated assault, and two counts of aggravated arson.
Dunavant was also arrested in another case, in which she has accused the children's father of assaulting her by pouring charcoal fluid mixed with Kool-Aid on her.
He was arrested, but was released after it was determined that she was the one who sprayed the man with the liquid. In that case, she was charged with two counts of filing a false report.
People are calling the grandmother a racist, and they believe that she killed the children and filed a false report because of their race.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by JCBRAVE, Oct 9, 2012.
Okay...... He's good vs good teams now? And bad vs bad teams LOL....
It was the scheme and blocking that changed more so. We ran the wishbone formation for like the first time this year and each time we had stevens motion out to the line and then tried to run it up the gut. The defense clearly knew it was coming yet we ran the same play 4 times for 0 yards!
Hey did you see Jordan Babineaux play better than CJ? How does our safety run the ball better than our RB?
no he lost it over a couple of years -- his YPC has gone down each year since he had 5.6 in 09 when he got his 2000. plenty of nfl players have had a few really great seasons because things worked out in just the right way, but fell off after that because people learned how to play against them and circumstances changed. people know how to play cj now -- just play zone and cover gaps and he'll stutter and fall down as soon as he sees there's not a huge gaping lane to run through. he can't break tackles and he never had to before like back in 2009 because defenses were more busy keeping vy in the pocket, and they didn't have enough tape on him to know how to play him yet. i'm just sayin, there's a really really good chance cj already had his moment in the nfl and is done being anything more than an average or below average back, and i believe that is the case unless he just suddenly changes.
You are literally wasting your time trying to convince that guy that CJ is done.
Speaking of disturbing stats, take away the Texans game and CJ has 48 carries for 69 yards.
It was a fake punt? Really? Not even worth my argument!
Yeah lets just take away everyones best games why dont we. Look up Lockers without the Lions and tell me how good his numbers look!
So re-sign VY!

MINITRENDS: Initiating a Minitrend Exploitation Program
There is much discussion in the business world today of Megatrends, i.e, very large-sale trends define the nature of our society. However, recognizing these Megatrends provides little guidance to businesses about specific strategies. MiniTrends — trends that promise to be of significant importance within two to five years, but are not generally recognized or appreciated by the public or most businesses — on the other hand, are of a scope and importance to provide profitable business opportunities.
Although most businesses try to stay alert to trends that might impact their markets, financial status, and operations, few have specific programs to identify, assess, and exploit such trends. Given the complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change in the New World business environment, including a formal Minitrend Exploitation Program in the strategic planning process provides companies with important competitive advantages.
In this presentation, we demonstrate the basic principles involved in initiating and conducting a Minitrend Exploitation Program.
This presentation can be expanded to a half-day to two-day MiniTrends Workshop customized to your organization's needs. Workshops include an explanation of the MiniTrends Concept and the development of a foundation for a strong MiniTrends Exploitation Program. Workshops include hands-on discussion and exercises.
The MiniTrends material can be tailored to the individual audience. For more information and to book presentations, seminars, and workshops, please fill out the contact form or contact us at (512) 258-8898 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is based onsuperblock magic number as found in linux/magic.h. So one couldexclude, procfs, sysfs, selinuxfs, etc. It does not provide a way tosay 'this ext3 filesystem but not that ext3 filesystem' as ext3 has asingle magic number.

Health Canada defends pesticide plans that aim to save declining bee numbers
Published Monday, September 16, 2013 10:33AM EDT
Health Canada is defending its recently-announced plans for stricter regulations aimed at reducing honeybees' exposure to a class of commonly-used pesticide that's suspected of killing them.
A number of bee farmers have expressed anger with the proposed new rules, saying they don't go far enough.
Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) announced Friday it was proposing new rules to address the problem of neonicotinoid pesticides, which are commonly used on corn and soybean crops grown in Canada. The new rules would require corn and soy farmers to use safer planting practices and take efforts to reduce dust during the planting process; they would also require new warning labels on pesticide-coated seeds.
Many bee farmers and environmental experts say the proposed changes aren't enough and that the pesticides should be banned altogether. But the PMRA's Scott Kirby says neonicotinoids are only one factor currently affecting bee health.
"There are all kinds of things assaulting the bee population," Kirby told CTV's Canada AM on Monday.
"These include climate change, Varroa mites, disease such as Nosema, as well as bee husbandry practices. Pesticides are also in the mix. At this point we're looking at all angles."
The PMRA said that its own testing of dead bees in 2012 determined that the majority of the deaths were caused by exposure to the pesticides -- likely through dust generated during seed planting.
"We have concluded that current agricultural practices related to the use of neonicotinoid treated corn and soybean seed are not sustainable," the agency said in its notice of intent.
Kirby says it's clear the science is pointing to problems with bees in southern Ontario and Quebec being exposed to pesticide-contaminated dust, and that's why his agency is proposing the new measures.
"We're letting our actions be determined by the science and what we've seen is clear evidence of issues with corn and soy planting," Kirby said, adding. "…but at this time, the science does not point to the need for a broader action with respect to these pesticides."
Scientists, beekeepers and environmental groups have been concerned with the world's declining bee populations for years, with many noting that bee die-offs escalated along with the increased use of neonicotinoid-coated seeds. The Canadian Honey Council estimates that Canada's bee population has dropped by approximately 35 per cent in the past three years.
Bee farmer Dave Schuit, of Saugeen Country Honey in Elmwood, Ont., has lost half of his bee colonies over the past two years and believes the pesticides are poisoning his bees. He told CTV News last week that a ban is the only way to save his business.
The European Union decided in May to ban three types of neonicotinoid pesticides on crops that attract bees, after the European Food Safety Authority found the pesticides posed "high acute risks" to the insects.
Jon Bennett, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada, told CTVNews.ca last week that the PMRA's proposed new rules were inadequate and that a full ban on neonicotinoids was the only way bee populations were going to be able to recover. He said the planned measures to make planting more safe wouldn't help, because neonicotinoids get into the water and the soil.
"The problem is much greater than just the planting technique," he said.
Bennett suggested the government take the pesticides out of use for two years and continue doing research on the topic.
Kirby says Health Canada has asked the pesticide companies involved to provide the agency with data to help them determine how necessary these treated seeds are to farmers. But he says that the issue of declining bee populations is about more than just pesticides.
"As I say, there are a number of factors affecting bee health, not the least of which is the Varroa mite; it's a very serious problem globally. There's also diseases as well as bee husbandry issues," Kirby said.
"We're going to be looking at those broader issues as part of the re-evaluation, but right now, we're focusing on what the science is telling us and it's telling us there's a problem with corn and soy planting and exposure to these contaminated dusts."

I have been overwhelmed with the response and words of kindness on my blog anniversary. You will never know how I wish I could give each and every one of you this cookbook. It is a beautiful book of the many lives that were driven out of Europe because of religious persecution, only to finally find "home" in Iowa. I know all of you would enjoy reading it as well as trying some of the outstanding recipes.
So many of you are bloggers from when I started and found you and you found me. Several of us even email each other when there are blogging problems, so I feel I have gotten to know so many of you.
Then there are the newer bloggers that have found me. Every blog is different because every personality shines through so beautifully. Of course, there are some old friends, a former high school teacher, a friend of my daughter who has spent time in our home, bloggers from England, France and yes, a new friend from Sweden. I am so pleased she commented.
That being said, I chose a winner by putting all your names into a hat, the old-fashioned way, and I had the Trout "fish" one out. I thought that was quite appropriate.
I am so pleased to announce that the recipient of Seasons of Plenty is KATHLEEN from
Cuisine Kathleen. Kathleen send me your physical address and I will put this in the mail today.
Some of you have asked if this book is available elsewhere. Check Amazon here to pick up your own copy.

An interesting comment by Linda Theil on Shapiro's presentation at Stratford Ontario, on Oberon, provoked thoughts abouin me!

Are you filling your life with C.R.A.P.?
How much NEGATIVITY are you consuming every day (willingly or unwillingly)?How much JUNK are you allowing into your body – and your mind – before your day even really begins?Are you setting yourself up for SUCCESS – and an awesome day (and life) – with enthusiasm, energy, motivation and optimism that YOU'VE GOT IT under control?Or are you setting yourself up for FAILURE – with negativity, pessimism, fear, chaos (always falling behind schedule), procrastination (I don't want to do this!) and guilt?
What you do first thing in the morning can change the way you feel and go about your day – so it's critical to start your day right.
With the right nourishment for your body – and mind.
My life changed for the better years ago when I started to make green smoothies and juices first thing in the morning. It reduced cravings and made me less hungry for foods that I knew weren't serving me. It helped me improve my health, get more energy and more mental clarity.
But getting the right nourishment for your body and soul – is equally – if not MORE important.
If the first thing you do in the morning is check your email, Facebook feed, and morning news – then you're probably allowing a lot of junk into your mind that consciously or unconsciously will affect how you go about your day.
I know that when I do that, I get immediately caught up in what's going on in the world, in other people's lives, or in my business – which means I FOLLOW somebody else's plan or agenda (or lack thereof), instead of being IN CONTROL, instead of being the LEADER of my own life, and the CREATOR of my own destiny.
Sounds pretentious? Pompous?
Well, it's true!
Let's face it, the morning new feed is usually filled with grueling stories about violence, accidents, crime and tragedies of every kind. Children being molested and beaten to death, bombs exploding in the middle of busy streets filled with tourists and passers-by, fires destroying houses, animals being tortured and killed for food or entertainment, millions of people being displaced from their homes risking their lives to cross deep seas in search for better life, terrorists trying to instill fear in all of us, democracy being threatened – these are just a few of the stories I've heard on the news the past couple of days.
Whether it comes via your local TV channel, Facebook feed, morning paper or email – it doesn't matter – enough is enough!
Wanting to be informed and an educated member of the society is one thing.
But constantly feeding your mind with all that negativity… no wonder you're NOT feeling upbeat, optimistic, enthusiastic and full of energy – as you should in order to TAKE ON THE WORLD and do YOUR THING, whatever it is that you do.
(Nagging spouses, demanding children, complaining clients, and angry bosses – belong to that category, too, by the way.)
Especially if what you do professionally or otherwise has to with tragedies and negativity. Being a vegan advocate and educating people about tragic fate of the animals – facing people who are often completely oblivious to this problem and simply couldn't care less – is just one example of work that can really bring you down at times.
No wonder you often feel disheartened, powerless, confused about what's important, not sure what to do, and want to just escape all the trouble and go to the la-la land – like a desert island in the middle of the ocean.
So, what's the solution?
How to keep your cool in the face of all this negativity?
How to get inspiration, clarity and motivation?
Establish daily rituals that feed YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND and YOUR SPIRIT.
By reading something inspiring. Writing in your journal. Visualizing. Creating. Imagining what it is you want. Seeing yourself getting it. Doing your soul work. Meditating. Doing yoga. Witnessing the sunrise. Or sunset. Walking in nature.
Doing whatever it is that feeds your soul – and mind.
You can do it at any time during the day, but for me – early morning seems to be the magical time.
It's the time when MAGIC happens.
When I get clarity about what I need to do. Get in touch with my inspiration. And intuition.
Yes, I know you're busy in the morning.
Everybody is.
Yes, it means you may have to get up earlier to have some quiet time for yourself.
But let me tell you –
It's absolutely WORTH IT.
For me, these early morning hours in the morning are the time without distractions – just filled with stillness, purity and possibility.
(If I manage get out of bed, that is, because often I just have a desire to just roll over and drift off to sleep time it's really time to get up and moving.)
Maybe if you have that time during the day – that's okay too, but most of us don't.
And even if I do get some time for myself – it's often not as easy to tune out all that is going on and go deep into my mind and get in touch with my intuition, my deepest desires and connect to my deepest purpose.
That early morning ritual is magical, as it allows me to keep the right perspective towards everything that happens during the day. Act with conviction. Make better choices. Or quickly correct the course if I make a mistake.
It's easier to keep your cool, be happy, relaxed and fun – even if what's happening around you is pure mayhem. And when you ACT is from the right place too.
It also makes it easier to make healthier choices when it comes to food.
So cheers to that!
Cheers to creating habits that not just feed you with junk, but nourish you on every level!
Cheers to establishing rituals that help you realize your dreams and achieve your goals – whatever they may be.

In my last post, I talked about how I was going to look at the tools I use and diversify them a bit as I have come to rely on one company, Google, for nearly everything I do.
And that's not good.
So, since a large percentage of my time is spent online I figured the logical place to start is with my browser. I've been a Chrome user almost since the day it came out. I've enjoyed the tight integration with their other products and the speed at which is runs but it's also the basket that holds all the other eggs so out it goes.
With Chrome off the table I looked at the other possible browsers out there. I crossed Internet Explorer off the list right away as I wanted to maintain a certain decoupling with my operating system and as I work in Windows most of the time I also decided to cross off Safari as well (that whole Apple vs. Microsoft thing).
Next on my list was Firefox. Before my days as a Chrome user I was a Firefox user and spent many hours toying with the different extentions and add-ons, constantly tweaking it. I'm also concerned with the way that Firefox has hogged memory in the past (like Chrome does now) as I typically have a lot open on my desktop. So while it stayed on my list for a while and is installed as my backup browser I decided to pass on it as my primary browser.
So, where did that leave me? With a list of off-shoot browsers and the one that I decided to go with – Opera.
If you read the above statement and don't know anything about the Opera browser, don't feel bad, according the stats over at Netmarket Share Opera has about a 2% market share – that's right not a lot of folks are using it.
So why go with the #5 browser in the market? I think it goes back to this older post. In that post I mentioned that I needed to get back to what I enjoy, puzzling things out, solving problems and trying new things. I've used all of the browsers mentioned above and had never really tried Opera so I thought I would make a go of it on this switch.
To be honest, as I write this I've been on Opera for my personal browsing for over a month now (I still use Chrome at work) and other than a few minor inconveniences things are going well. I've had to adjust to not having instant access (via extensions) to some of the services I use but that also made me take a look at those services to determine if I really needed to have that access or use them at all.
Do I miss some of those things? I did at first, but as I use Opera more, adjust my work flows and change up my tools, the pain of those changes lessens.
I'm still learning my way around Opera and haven't really dug into all it's capable of yet but I'm peeling back the layers a bit at a time and so far I'm happy with my decision.
So, what browser do you use? Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, something else? Why not share about it in the comments below.
