IMO There the best gear drive tube frame you can find other than a G14.Bad thing about them is that most of them that I've seen Including mine,had an HH120 Tecumseh engine in them instead of the Wisconsin TRA12D.
If it still had the original Wisconsin TRA12D in it and it runs decent then Yep that's a decent price.If it has the Tecumseh HH120 in it I would try to get it for around $175 maybe $200
It Does look like the Wisconsin engine though.The HH120 Tecumseh block doesn't have a flange for the mounting bolts.They just have tapped holes that go up in the oil sump from underneath.

Engine looks a bit questionable, appears non original to me, no delco remy starter either if it really is a TRA12D in there.
Got to love the word "rare" being used LOL. It dosent look that locking differential knob has seen oil in 10 years either.......
Posted October 02, 2016 - 07:06 PM
I don't need or really want it, I just seeing if anybody on here might want it or me to pick it up for y'all. Maybe even see if I could do some wheeling & dealing with it or swap for some Sears stuff.

From DVD Trannyformers
The tools go both ways in this hard core tranny bang video. Gorgeous blond shemale Carla initially goes down on her dude, blowing his oversize weiner gratefully. Carla is wearing a pair of gorgeous fishnet stockings that frame her own stiff dong and balls, and after her stud has had his fill of being sucked, he pays the transsexual back with some hot oral action of his own. The same thing happens with the backdoor sex; first the tranny rides her guy in reverse cowgirl, and then the good-looking young guy does exactly the same to her, grunting as her big, stiff tranny penis stretches out his tight little rump hole. He even gets creamed on his face!Read more

The Chronicle Review
Longing for a Past That Never Was
For many, the past has never looked more attractive and the future more scary. In his last book, the eminent British sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, who died in January, turned his attention to this nostalgic mood and labeled it "retrotopia."
Throughout his long career, Bauman remained fascinated by the paradoxes of modernity. His most important works, such as Modernity and the Holocaust (Cornell University Press, 1989), are exemplars of empirically led critical social theory. In Retrotopia he explores the strange alliance of modernity with nostalgia. The book's main intent is to dissect the way different nostalgic currents act to both create and cope with a dysfunctional and bewildering present.
Bauman begins by outlining what the late Harvard University literary scholar Svetlana Boym called the "nostalgia epidemic," a condition that, Bauman tells us, is now "palpably felt at every level of social cohabitation." He sets out his task as "unraveling, portraying, and putting on record some of the most remarkable 'back to the future' tendencies inside the emergent 'retrotopian' phase in utopia's history." These tendencies are grouped into four chapters: "Back to Hobbes?"; "Back to Tribes"; "Back to Inequality"; and "Back to the Womb."
Retrotopia By Zygmunt Bauman
(Polity Press)
To tie those disparate threads together, Bauman offers what he calls a "Hegelian triad." His contention is that Thomas More's original place- and community-bound utopia has been overturned by a new one centered on the "unfixed," the "individualized, privatized, and personalized" — a shift that has itself now been challenged by a nostalgic yearning and the emergence of visions of the future located in the "lost/stolen/abandoned but undead past." A more straightforward contention dominates the bulk of the book: that the past has become attractive because people find the present upsetting and bewildering. Bauman argues that all our attempts to get back to the many homelands of security, familiarity, and thumb-sucking comfort spring from an inability to cope with an "exasperatingly capricious and uncertain present." This state of fear connects and encourages not just diverse but opposing forms of nostalgia, bringing together narcissistic individualism with a surge in ethnic communalism. Retrotopia's most impressive passages come when Bauman is working with this kind of paradox:
"Back to the self" has been born as a battle-cry of the war of liberation from the horrors of tribal imprisonment, resurrected by the still-birth of its ostensible cosmopolitan alternative — just as "back to tribes" was, and still remains, the motto of running-for-shelter from the abominations of the loneliness of the orphaned/bereaved individuals of the post-liberation era. Both calls are poisons, curiously serving as antidotes to each other.
Such confident summaries are characteristic of Bauman's style and can be intoxicating, but they rely on the reader's faith in his labels, such as the "'back to the womb' phenomenon" (under which heading Bauman places "back to the self"). Bauman derives this tag from a passage in the essayist Melissa Broder's So Sad Today (Grand Central Publishing, 2016) in which she confesses to having spent her life "trying to get back" to the safety of the womb. It feels, to me at least, plausible to extrapolate this self-insight to a societal condition, but, at the same time, I doubt nostalgia for the womb is unique to our era. Like many species of exceptionalist argument, Bauman's insistence that the contemporary age has an exceptionally dysfunctional relationship to the past offers a kind of perverse flattery; who, after all, would want to admit that their times and their country are not, after all, that special?
nfortunately, Bauman's omnivorous depictions of our fearful, nostalgic condition start to resemble lists of how awful everything is. Top of the list is the "growth in the volume and intensity of violence," which reflects the fact that "our world … is again a theater of war: a war of all against all." Contra Hobbes, this "war" reflects not the absence of Leviathan but the presence of lots of "big, small and tiny Leviathans, gravely malfunctioning." Another site of crisis is addressed in the chapter called "Back to Inequality," which draws on Bauman's Does the Richness of the Few Benefit Us All? (Polity Press, 2013). Explaining why rising levels of inequality have not led to a "revolutionary situation," Bauman says that it is because the "present-day existential condition" is nothing more than "a factory of mutual suspicion, antagonism of interests, rivalry and strife." U
Mixed in within these broad-brush dystopian portraits are a variety of sharp criticisms of more particular contemporary phenomena, ranging from the internet to self-help books. It was when Bauman starts to grumble about satellite navigators (despite never-ending updates, "most drivers risk finding them nevertheless grossly outdated and liable to lead them astray") that it dawned on me that there is another paradox at work in his book, one that he does not address.
Bauman is hostile to nostalgia and wants "the Angel of History to turn around once more" and face the future. But Retrotopia is a deeply nostalgic book. There is almost nothing about the present day that Bauman seems to like. In a post-Marxist and postsocialist era it is hardly surprisingly that leftist scholarship should develop a powerful sense of loss and yearning. The problem is that this tradition is so used to defining itself as forward-facing and nostalgia as inherently conservative that it is not able to acknowledge its own nostalgic imagination. Such an acknowledgment is not an easy or comfortable task, but it is a necessary one. In The Future of Nostalgia (Basic Books, 2001), Svetlana Boym put it best: "Survivors of the twentieth century, we are all nostalgic for a time when we were not nostalgic. But there seems no way back."
Alastair Bonnett is a professor of social geography at Newcastle University and the author of, among other works, The Geography of Nostalgia: Global and Local Perspectives on Modernity and Loss (Routledge, 2015).

TORONTO, Dec. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - Allbanc Split Corp. II (the "Company") announced today that the final condition required to extend the term of the Company for an additional five years to February 28, 2021, has been met as holders of approximately 85% of Class A Capital Shares ("Capital Shares") have elected to extend. Holders of Capital Shares previously approved the extension of the term of the Company provided a minimum of 1,000,000 Capital Shares remain outstanding after giving effect to the special retraction right (the "Special Retraction Right").
Under the Special Retraction Right, 243,022 Capital Shares were tendered to the Company for payment on February 26, 2016. The holders of the remaining 1,375,134 Capital Shares will continue to enjoy the benefits of a leveraged participation in the capital appreciation of the Company's portfolio while potentially deferring any capital gains tax liability which would otherwise be realized on the redemption of their Capital Shares.
The Company's Class B Preferred Shares, Series 1 will be redeemed by the Company on February 26, 2016 in accordance with the redemption provisions at a price per share equal to the lesser of $21.80 and the Net Asset Value per Unit. In order to maintain the leveraged "split share" structure of the Company, the Company intends to create and issue a new series of Class B Preferred Shares to be called the Series 2 Preferred Shares, which are expected to be issued immediately following this redemption.
Allbanc Split Corp. II is a mutual fund corporation created to hold a portfolio of publicly listed common shares of selected Canadian chartered banks.

With a voice like hers it's hard to believe that Tiffany Evans is not a powerhouse force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world
Fans keep up with her these days through social networks, like Tumblr and Twitter. In a letter posted to the singer's Tumblr penned to the late Whitney Houston, she credited the legend as being the reason why she discovered singing as her calling.
After parting ways from Columbia Records in 2011, she created Little Lady Entertainment, leading to the production of her forthcoming EP, Perfect Imperfection. As the prelude to her sophomore album of the same name, the EP will serve as a platform of what is to be expected of the final release.
In addition to the launch of Little Lady Entertainment came the Tiffany Tuesday's series that boasts promising songs and remixes of other songs for fans to enjoy. With "Won't Find Me" and "You Got a Woman" having two completely different sounds and her last international release "I'll Be There" having an even more different sound, the versatility and creativity is there. The latter reached number 61 on Billboards U.S. Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart two years ago garnering radio play and spending weeks on BET's 106 & Park.
Evans hinted that she may be collaborating with rapper Missy Elliott on Twitter recently sparking up rumors that the Imperfectly Perfect EP may be released sooner than everyone thinks.
"It's truly a body of work. It's a new beginning for me. It's my personal truth. It's starting over and being able to reveal who I am. This EP represents all of that. It's urban, it's gritty but you still get those ballads with a lot of knock to them", the singer said in a recent interview with Edge Magazine.

Students should begin searching for scholarships through their guidance office and counselors. Students can also use credible webs search sites like FastWeb, CollegeBoard.org, and the State of Michigan Grants and Scholarship Programs at a Glance.
It is typical for students to find scholarships in their home region. Information can be found by asking local persons and organizations. Typically, these are less competitive as the eligible population is smaller.
• Non-profits & charitable trusts
• Community foundations
• Music teachers
• Foundations
• Trade union/Labor/trade unions
• Houses of Worship
• Chamber of Commerce
• Volunteer organizations
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation
The Kalamazoo Community Foundation believes the community members who will have the most impact on our community in the future are you, our young people. We believe that each and every one of you must have an equal chance to take advantage of the opportunities available to you.
This is why we have a scholarship program that helps hundreds of Kalamazoo and Van Buren County students go to college, or to a trade or technical school, each year. To date, we have awarded more than $21 million in scholarships and grants to more than 5,100 area students. The foundation offers both need and merit based scholarships.

The Kalamazoo Promise
In 2005, school officials in Kalamazoo announced that anonymous donors would make it possible for every graduate of the Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS) to attend any state university or community college in Michigan tuition free. While these donors wanted to see more young people in their community benefit from higher education, they also had bigger goals in mind. They wanted to transform their community, which was suffering from the decline of Michigan's manufacturing base, by making universal higher education the centerpiece of Kalamazoo's community and economic development strategy.
Fewer KPS students are dropping out of school and more are going to college. After years of declining enrollment, the KPS gained more new students than any district in the state as families moved in from other communities in Michigan and other states.

Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness…" So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:26-27)
(Jesus) is the image of the invisible God…(Colossians 1:15)
(Jesus) is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being…(Hebrews 1:3)
Stereotype is the new four-letter word in our culture when it comes to gender. Understandably, we don't want to impose anything on our children that would rob them of their God-given potential. Stereotypes, when misused, can do exactly that—force fit boys or girls into certain molds that deny them their uniqueness.
But the complete dismantling of boy stereotypes, while empowering for girls, has robbed boys of any vision of what it means to be a boy in the 21st Century.
The root word for stereotype is solid impression. In my last two posts I have looked at two, life-forging, positive stereotypes that give boys solid impressions to live into.
The first comes from his biology: The way God wired a boy's brain and hormonal structure sets the purpose for a boy—he was born to be a superhero; to use his gifts and talents to build a better world.
The second comes from culture. Knowing the dynamic power created in boys, cultures throughout history have sought to forge the power of boys with character stereotypes like honor, courage, goodness, integrity, faithfulness, and compassion, to name a few. These stereotypes empower boys to be good, noble superheroes.The third and final boy stereotype traces itself back to creation itself, when God created boys (and girls) in his Image. God's image, his likeness, sets a profound solid impression for what it means to be a boy.
To be the Image of God is to reflect the Creator. To represent God to the world He created for us. It means that boys are called to be living, walking snapshots of their Heavenly Father.
So a boy, as the Image of God, should reflect:
- Creativity because God is Creative
- Strong, healthy, life-giving relationships because God is Relational
- A dynamic spiritual life because God is Spirit
- Intellectual curiosity and a passion for learning because God is Intelligence
- Moral responsibility because God is Moral
- A gracious, loving, sacrificial position toward the world because God is Love and Grace
How does a boy live into that compelling solid impression for his life? By following the Divine Stereotype: Jesus.
Jesus is the Solid Impression for boys. As they follow him, they discover what it means to be the Image of God Male, not only in the way that Jesus lived as a man, but through the Image-of-God-restoring power of the Spirit of Jesus.

All are members of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia
at the Holiday Inn City Line, Philadelphia
Wednesday, January 18, 2006
On Wednesday, January 18, 2006, Ray Didinger was scheduled to be the speaker at our Broadcast Pioneers luncheon. However, a serious illness in the family required Ray to catch a flight to Florida the day before the event. Ray Didinger arranged for his WIP Saturday talk show co-host Glen Macnow to take his place. So Glen Macnow was our speaker on January 18th. Didinger has asked us to please reschedule him for a later date and we plan to do so.
Glen Macnow is a former reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer and was recognized in 1993 as "The Best Sportswriter in Philadelphia" by Philadelphia Magazine. He also wrote for the Detroit Free Press.
Glen brings his vast knowledge to listeners on Sports Radio 610, WIP including Saturdays as Ray Didinger's talk show partner! For years, Glen Macnow was co-host of the daily lunchtime radio show on WIP Radio. Glen can also be heard currently during the evenings at 7 pm when WIP isn't airing sporting events. He's been with the station since 1993.
Glen is co-author of "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book." In part a Philadelphia sports memoir, "The Great Philadelphia Fan Book" is also a historical and anecdotal account of the nation's passionate sports fans centering on Philadelphia's four major league teams. It mounts a sturdy apologia that will be sure to delight Philadelphia sports fans and remind them of their unique and unabashed dedication to their hometown teams.

A good hairstyle is indispensable to a modern man. Some of the most iconic men are known for their hairstyles. Who could ever forget Elvis Presley's pompadour;
David Beckham's faux hawk;
David Hasselhoff's hoff;
…and Justin Bieber's side swept bangs?
These hairstyles may not be the conventional haircut at their time, but it did put these men to where they are right now.
Through the ages, men brush up their hair to look good and to attract the opposite sex. Psychologists deduced that a brushed-up hair connotes a subconscious phallic symbol, thus the sexual aura. For more pragmatic reasons, a brushed-up hair illuminates the face. Nothing is better-looking than a well-groomed guy.
Men's hairstyle is complicated. We all know that guy who takes an hour or two fixing his hair in front of the mirror. Heck, you might be that guy we are referring to. But that's okay. Looking good for the people around you is not a bad thing.
Haircuts are funny in old pictures even if it's just 2 or 3 years ago. We all had that embarrassing photo in our high school yearbook (and burning them won't undo the horror that is your hair). The best way is to learn from past hair mistakes. They say it's okay to have one silly hairstyle in your lifetime. But that doesn't mean you have to sport one all throughout your life. Always endeavour to look your best. Update your haircut once in a while.
2013 is the year of the smooth and sleek. Check out some of these hairstyles that may look good on you.
The Peaked Side Crop
Evolving from the military crop haircut, the peaked side crop has become a classic among men. Most fashionable yet conservative men opt for this haircut because it is classy yet edgy at the same time. It is suitable for men with strong facial features such as wide jaw line.
Short and Tapered Fade
Re-popularized by Take That lead singer Gary Barlow, the Short and Tapered Fade cut was said to be one of the most sought-after hairstyles of 2013. The haircut is clean yet it has a dash of rocker vibes to it. It looks good on guys with round face and wide forehead.
The Straight Blow Back
The Straight Blow Back is also known as Justin Bieber's new hair. This is popular among teenagers nowadays. If you want to look hip and young try brushing your hair upwards. The higher, the better!
The High Blow Back
The High Blow Back is an evolution of the classic pompadour. It is edgier than the Peaked Side Crop and is likewise popular with today's youths. This is perfect for guys who are not confined in the conservative field of work.
The Thick Side Comb
This haircut has been around for many years and it still oozes charm and sophistication. You need blowers and a round brush to pull this off. Nonetheless, if Justin Timberlake's ramen-noodle hair can do it, then so can yours! Firstly, you have to find out where your good angle is. Take selfies, or ask your closest friend which side looks better.
The Quiff
Everyone can pull of the Quiff. Just like the Short and Tapered Fade, the quiff exudes that old-school rocker vibe without compensating sharpness and neatness. The Quiff varies depending on the length of the hair. A lot of male icons have sported the Quiff. To name a few, there is Elvis Presley, James Dean, David Beckham, and Bruno Mars. Even fictional characters like Tintin from the series The Adventures of Tintin and Edward Cullen of the Twilight saga donned the look. If you want something new for your hairdo, try the Quiff.
Styling hair is not anymore confined to women. It never was. Since the beginning of time, men are conscious with their hair as much as women are. Don't be afraid to experiment with a new hair. Just be sure that it matches your confidence and personality.

Written by Al Stover
Adam Joseph Meyer appeared in Montana 15th Judicial Court Oct. 16.
Meyer pleaded not guilty to the felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol (fourth offense) and to misdemeanor charges of displaying license plates assigned to another vehicle, failure to provide proof of compliance of insurance and fleeing or eluding a peace officer.
According to court documents, the Roosevelt County 911 Center received a phone call from a woman who reported a possible drunk driver in a white Ford Bronco in the Wolf Point area. Roosevelt County Sheriff's Deputy Clay McGeshick responded to the area and found the vehicle and observed it swerving all over the road.
McGeshick activated his lights and siren, but the vehicle did not stop and continued toward Rodeo Road.
The Bronco nearly hit the ditch several times. It finally stopped when it arrived at VR 2 Drive. The deputy told the driver, identified as Meyer, to get out of the vehicle. Meyer exited the car and stumbled following directions. McGeshick ordered the driver to the ground and placed him in handcuffs.
McGeshick noticed the smell of alcohol coming from Meyer. He asked the defendant why he did not stop and Meyer said he did not want to pay for towing and wanted to drive the vehicle to his father's house. When the deputy asked the defendant how much he had to drink, Meyer said he had a six pack of beer.
McGeshick asked Meyer if he would perform the standard field sobriety tests. Meyer was hesitant at first, but he complied.
McGeshick placed Meyer under arrest for driving under the influence. Meyer was transported to the Roosevelt County Detention Center by Officer Heather Daniels of the Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law and Justice. After Meyer refused to provide a breath sample, McGeshick applied for a telephonic search warrant to obtain a sample.
Meyer was transported to the Northeast Montana Health Services by Officer Drew Acheson of the Fort peck Department of Law and Justice. A blood sample was taken, sealed and sent to the Montana Crime Lab.
Judge David Cybulski advised Meyer of his rights and the charges filed against him, prior to the defendant's plea.
The defense made a motion for release on own recognizance. Attorney Mark Epperson explained that Meyer has lived in Wolf Point for 15 years and currently works for Mr. Wire Electric, which shows that Meyer has ties to the community. The prosecution objected given the nature of the charges and the defendant's history; however, Cybulski reduced the bond to $5,000.
Meyer's trial is scheduled for Dec. 12.

As the thought of packing for the Disney Social Media Moms conference edges closer my breathing is getting a little more rapid. The thought of packing for a 5 hour flight to California with my family kind of makes me want to breathe into a brown paper bag. This is a huge experience for my children. I want to make sure they enjoy it, but at the same time plan properly so our flight goes as smoothly as possible and we start our mini vacation on a fabulous note. Packing a Carry On for Kids doesn't have to be complicated, but it does take thought.
First tackle the question of what to carry onto the plane. The first item that should go into everyone's carry-on is a complete, extra change of clothes, yes for parents too. Place the outfit into a Ziploc bag for kids. If your child gets ill, spills, or has an accident this extra outfit will come in handy. It's also great if your suitcase doesn't happen make it to your final destination with you. Fingers crossed this never happens.
Next, plan how to occupy the kids for the duration on the flight. Flying to California is a long time in my eyes as an adult, so it could be a little tough for my kids to manage, but resist the urge to over pack. Work with your child ahead of the trip to decide what they would really like to have on the airplane and at their destination. Don't forget to pack those travel journals!
Encourage them to put the items in their bag and carry it around for a half an hour to help gauge the weight and comfort. You can adjust this technique based on age but it's a good guideline to start. If they feel comfortable after that amount of time, then it's probably a good amount in the bag. If not, then it's time to sit down and re-adjust. The last thing you want is a whiny child complaining his bag is too heavy. For younger kids, packing a few surprises in your (parent) carry-on bag can help break up a long trip. Consider giving them one of the surprise gifts at the airport, and at different intervals throughout the flight. I already have some Disney related surprises that I am bursting at the seams to share with them.
Finally, be sure to add some snacks into the bags. Some parents prefer to keep all the snacks in their bag and distribute as kids request them. This works well for young children, but as they get older, giving responsibility and ownership over their own snacks is part of the travel fun. They know what they have and if they eat it all at one time, then that's the choice they make. You can always keep some in reserve just in case…whiny, hungry kids are not good travel companions. This note also applies to husbands as well, especially if they are like mine and too cheap to buy food in the airport.
Traveling with children takes patience. Allow a little extra time for everything, and most importantly stay calm and enjoy the experience with your family. Travel is not only about getting to the final destination but to enjoy the journey along the way. Seeing the process of travel through your children's eyes might make your view completely different!
What is a good tip for packing a carry on that you can share? I'd love to hear more!

Confuse And Slipping AwayI've married for almost 5 years now. I am currently away from my husband, working in a different country. I met my husband when I was broken hearted. I was just on the process of moving from my last relationship that took 5 years. I don't know how did it happen but I guess he became my rebound during those times. Most of my relationship I have loved more than they loved me. But, things changed with my husband he loves me more than I love him. I think that is one of the reason why I started to love him as well. He made me feel important and cared for. I don't know maybe I'm just away or bored or lonely but I started not to miss him. I think I should feel like I miss him that I should feel like going home everytime but I felt differently. Yes, I am bored and lonely but I want to make friends or go out with somebody. I haven't done it. But I was just hoping that I do not meet anyone. I don't want to ruin my marriage. We have a daughter who is incredibly beautiful and intellegent, I don't want to hurt her. The feeling is like this, I think I can live with my husband hating but not my daughter. I wish things will change.

A wrong-way driver died late Thursday night when she slammed into another car on the 610 Loop in northeast Houston.
The crash happened about 10:25 p.m. at 6900 North Loop East near Homestead, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police said witnesses reported that the victim was driving a gray 2006 Chevrolet Impala the wrong way on the North Loop when she slammed into a gray Mercury Grand Marquis that was traveling eastbound on the freeway.
The 26-year-old woman driving the Impala was injured and rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The man driving the Grand Marquis had minor injuries.
Police said alcohol is believed to have contributed to the crash, but investigators did not reveal what led them to that conclusion.
The case is being investigated.

Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy.
Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation
A Brief History of the Compassionate Listening Project
– by Leah Green
The Compassionate Listening Project began in 1990 as Mid-East Citizen Diplocmacy, under the umbrella of the Earthstewards Network on Bainbridge Island. Danaan Parry, co-founder of Earthstewards, was an early pioneer in the citizen diplomacy movement, taking U.S. citizens to the former Soviet Union and creating many exchanges and projects. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Danaan turned his attention to the Middle East to focus his citizen diplomany efforts. He planned the first Earthstewards' citizen delegation to Israel and Palestine for November, 1990 and asked me to assist with the trip itinerary. Danaan saw my passion for this work and after the trip asked me to continue leading delegations to Israel and Palestine for Earthstewards, which I did for the next 7 years.
As an American-Jewish woman who had lived in Israel and worked in the West Bank, my original vision was to strengthen U.S. support for Middle East peace by connecting Americans to Israeli and Palestinian reconciliation leaders and providing them with a firsthand experience of the complexities on the ground.
It became clear over time that my greatest interest was in Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation and healing. In 1996, after leading nine delegations, I sought out Gene Knudsen Hoffman (1919 – 2010), who became my trusted mentor. I adopted Gene's framework for compassionate listening as an overarching framework for the delegations and Gene and I traveled together to launch the Compassionate Listening Project in Israel and Palestine.
Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, was one of Gene's teachers, and the essence of Compassionate Listening comes from his teachings: a call for peacemakers to initiate humanizing contact and cultivate compassion for those on all sides of a conflict.
In 1997, after experiencing the powerful nature of this work, and with the encouragement of Gene and Israeli and Palestinian NGO's, The Compassionate Listening Project (TCLP) was established as a non-profit organization.
Compassionate Listening Delegations
TCLP has now guided nearly 600 American citizens to Israel and Palestine to listen to the grievances, hopes, and dreams of people on all sides of the conflict, including religious, political and grassroots leaders, settlers, refugees, peace activists, citizens, soldiers, and extremists. Educator and trainer Carol Hwoschinsky of Ashland, Oregon participated in our first delegation with Gene in 1996, and joined me afterward with her dear friend and colleague Larissa Keet to develop the first training curriculum for delegation participants. Carol travelled on many delegations as our group facilitator, until 2002.
With the support of Israeli and Palestinian colleagues, TCLP has built trusting relationships across political, religious and social divides throughout Israel and Palestine. We also bring Israelis and Palestinians together for Compassionate
Listening trainings and events. TCLP offers a powerful conflict resolution model and concrete skill building for our participants. We have visited Jordan on three delegations, and in 2002 we expanded our regional involvement with a successful delegation to Syria and Lebanon.
TCLP is respected as one of the oldest established NGOs working in Israel and Palestine in the field of Track II (Citizen) Diplomacy. Our delegations have resulted in an extensive network of informed leaders across N. America who stand for both peoples as a result of their transformative experiences in the field. Our impressive alumni play a positive role in peace-making efforts: educating in their home communities and inviting others to support reconciliation leaders in Israel and Palestine. Some of our alumni have created successful Mideast peace programs that promote cross-cultural and interfaith understanding, as well as human rights and humanitarian work. Their leadership and efforts are especially important as the conflict in the Middle East continues to create harsh divisions among religious and political groups, on college campuses and within the peace movement.
Compassionate Listening Training
This was the most transformative, essential workshop I have experienced.
Meg, Vancouver, British Columbia
Compassionate Listening is vital in every situation I find myself in. At work, home, out on the street and with friends, family and broken relationships…
Steve, Boulder, Colorado
As the delegations continued in the Middle East and the project began receiving local and national publicity, the demand for Compassionate Listening training in the U.S. increased. In response, Carol Hwoschinsky and I designed and adapted training curricula for teaching Compassionate Listening in the U.S. in academic, public and private settings. We call the training Compassionate Listening – Healing Our World from the Inside Out. These trainings have always focused on Compassionate Listening as a practice for use in everyday life – at the personal, professional and community level.
Advanced Training and Certification
Beginning in 1999, a core group began to meet together with Carol and me to practice in the U.S. Sometimes Gene Knudsen Hoffman joined us for these weekends – once she hosted us all at her community peace center, Sola House, in Santa Barbara. Carol and I made a decision early on that since this was an evolving field and we were learning so much together, that it would be important to stay together as a community of practitioners. Carol became our Training Director and twenty of us spent four long weekends together in 2003-04 in our first Advanced Training series. Many of the participants were already trainers and facilitators, and together we accelerated the practice and body of work that today we call "Compassionate Listening." It was truly a group effort and I have enormous gratitude for our early practitioners who began incorporating Compassionate Listening into their own work, as well as facilitating introductions, practice groups, and trainings. Many from this group became our first certified Compassionate Listening facilitators and are still teaching to this day. In addition to training thousands of people in the United States, we've also held trainings in Israel, Palestine, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the U.K., Bosnia and Croatia, Cuba, India, Guatemala and Spain. I am especially grateful to Carol Hwoschinsky, Susan Partnow, Brian Berman, Karen Bonnell, Andrea Cohen and Eryn Kallish, for the many hours they invested in the design and structure of our first Advanced Trainings and our Certification path.
We have now held many Advanced Training series in the U.S., and have a formal 10-month Certification program where participants work with our experienced facilitators for mentoring. TCLP currently has 21 certified facilitators, and more joining the certification track each year. Together, we form a learning community and continue to evolve our curricula and trainings. We have come together many years for facilitator gatherings. We also meet regularly for conference calls and participate in a group e-list where we share our best practices and offer support. We often lead programs and train together. It is our passion to share and practice this work.
Advanced Training is open to all who have participated in a basic training or a training delegation. Learn more and see our schedule here: Advanced Training.
Jewish-German Compassionate Listening Project
This experience has exceeded in depth anything I could have known I wished for. I will carry this experience in my heart forever.
German participant
I recommend making this project a global 'must'!
German participant
This was the most wonderful, loving, important project I have ever been a part of. I feel proud to be a part of the human race!
Jewish participant
Our international work moved beyond the Middle East for the first time in 2002 when Beate Ronnefeldt and I co-founded the German-Jewish Project. Beate was active at the time with the European Earthstewards and as a Trainer of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Beate and I brought together 34 Jewish and (non-Jewish) German participants for a 10-day Compassionate Listening healing retreat in Germany in 2002. Participants used the skills to listen to each other's experience, as well as to "witnesses" ranging from victim to perpetrator during WWII. This deeply moving program continued as a powerful reconciliation model. In 2003, Andrea Cohen and Brian Berman, certified facilitators with TCLP, took over the leadership of this program and they continued with 2 more stellar retreats.
Two German participants produced a film about the project in 2004 called "Embracing Story" which has screened widely in Germany and the U.S. – bringing this work to a much larger audience.
Brian Berman and his wife Lisa, also a certified facilitator, led a couple of "Compassionate Journeys" to Germany and opened them to anyone wanting to help heal the wounds from WWII.
Click here to learn more about our Jewish-German work.
Educational video productions
TCLP has produced two moving documentaries profiling our work on the ground in the Middle East: "Children of Abraham" (1998) and "Crossing the Lines: Palestinians and Israelis Speak With The Compassionate Listening Project" (2002). These videos are used in universities, high schools and religious institutes throughout the world and have been shown widely in public and private screenings. The videos are available to 80,000 public high school students in major cities across the country through contracts with educational television companies. We've also produced a 12-minute introduction to the Compassionate LIstening Project, Compassion In Action, which is available for purchase for $10.00. You can also view it on our website and on YouTube.com. A special thank you to Peter Hwoschinsky for all of his work on our first two films.
Len and Libby Traubman, co-founders of the Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group and mentors for many of the Mid-East dialogue groups across N. America, wrote: "Crossing the Lines is one of the best films there is to help people begin to listen to both peoples, and to truly understand both narratives equally – the beginning of the end of war."
Compassionate Listening Books
In 2001 we published our guidebook for Compassionate Listening, "Listening with the Heart," written by Carol Hwoschinsky. Now in its fourth edition, it was also translated into German and published in Germany. This book has spawned Compassionate Listening Practice Groups throughout the world as a grassroots movement. (If you run an open practice group, let us know and we'll post it on our website on the Practice Group page.)
In 2012 we published Practicing the Art of Compassionate Listening, by Andrea Cohen, with Leah Green and Susan Partnow. It contains most of our introductory curriculum and is available for purchase from our store.
Annual Gathering
From 2003-2011, our Annual Gathering brought Compassionate Listeners old and new together for two inspiring days to deepen our practices to cultivate compassion in our daily lives. The Gatherings took place at a beautiful retreat center outside of Seattle, Washington.
Additional thank yous
I am immensely grateful to our remarkable administrative gurus: Eric Kuhner served for three years as our Administrative Director, Sally Metcalf for one year, Cathy Merchant for two years, Therese Charvet worked in the office in 2008-09 and has helped out since then when needed, Allison Goldstein for a year, and Cyndi Merritt, our current office manager. Eric developed and streamlined our systems over a period of years with his technical expertise; Sally brought us to a new level of organization; Cathy Merchant, who moved to Washington from Princeton, NJ for the position, brought many skills and much dedication to the work. Allison Goldstein brought a host of personal and technical skills to the position in 2011, and Cyndi brings decades of experience from her work with the Nature Conservancy and Parker Palmer's organization. I am also indebted to our many remarkable board members who have served over the years to guide our development. Many have given above and beyond the call of duty to guide TCLP through challenges and opportunities over the years.

The identity of Oklahoma's starting quarterback is expected to be unveiled next week.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops revealed he hopes to make a decision a week before the season during a Friday interview with ESPN.
Blake Bell and Trevor Knight are the lone candidates to succeed four-year starter Landry Jones, who was drafted in the fourth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The two have shared time in practice after sophomore Kendall Thompson, a third contender for the job, went down with a broken foot earlier this month.
Bell has been considered the heir apparent because of his playing experience the past two seasons.
The 6-6, 252-pound junior gained notoriety taking snaps from Oklahoma's Belldozer formation primarily in short-yardage situations and has 24 rushing touchdowns on his 104 career carries.
However, he has attempted just 20 passes and has yet to show the ability to be a consistent passer.
Knight, freshman, sat out last season a redshirt. At 6-1, 201, he is smaller that Bell and brings more athleticsm to the position.
Oklahoma will open its season against Louisiana-Monroe on Aug. 31 before hosting West Virginia in its Big 12 opener the following week.
Stoops doesn't seem concerned that the team hasn't been as inexperience at quarterback since 2007 when Sam Bradford won the job right before the season.
"But at the end of the day, I keep saying this, this isn't our first rodeo," Stoops said earlier this week. "We've done this a lot. We've won eight Big 12 championships with six different quarterbacks, so it hasn't really hurt us a lot. We're trying to get them all ready to play."
Whether it is Bell or Knight behind center, the Oklahoma offense should have a much-different look that focuses on the running game behind a veteran offensive line, rather than rely on throwing.
Jones attempted 555 passes last season, the second-most among all quarterbacks in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

It may seem uncharacteristic of  Brian Burke, historically a headline maker at the Entry Draft, to sit essentially idle on the hockey world's biggest stage. Important to remember is that the big man can be patient when he needs to be. The Anaheim and Calgary deals of last February, when Burke waited until certain pressure points reached a head, were both examples of Burke's willingness to sit back until the time was right to pull the trigger – despite all the temptations to hit the panic button as his team sat in the Eastern Conference basement with no first round pick to look forward to.
There is no doubt Burke has been driving a hard bargain for Kaberle. This has to have many general managers looking to some prospective names in the UFA market for alternatives that don't cost assets up front. Sergei Gonchar, Pavel Kubina, Paul Martin, Derek Morris, Toni Lydman, Joe Corvo, Adrian Aucoin, Shaonne Morrisonn, Dan Hamhuis (who looks like he won't be coming to terms with the Flyers) and Carlo Colaiacovo are all pending UFAs that could be considered less pricey substitutes. Come mid-July, with many of these names off the board, Â Burke might just cash in on another GMs desperation.
A few other notes:
- It is know Brian Burke's preferable return for Tomas Kaberle is a young, NHL-ready top six forward with size. Burke is also said to be interested in acquiring some secondary toughness and scoring up front in the form of a checking liner with offensive upside. There are hopes that Caputi will develop into that niche, however it is believed the organization doesn't think he's ready yet to fill that need which Burke wants to address for this season. Ryan Malone is one name that appeals to Burke here, although there certainly has to be trepidations about the accompanying contract which pays the 6'4 winger $4.5 million until 2014-15. Andrew Ladd fits the description as well, and was a rumoured target according to the Globe and Mail's Eric Duhatschek.
- Marc Savard is said to be willing to waive his no-trade clause to go to Toronto, Ottawa or Detroit at this point. According to sources the Leafs have only mild interest in Savard and would only consider him as a part of a package involving long-time assets of interest Joe Colborne or Blake Wheeler. The Leafs for their part would then have to add more beyond Kaberle to get that in motion. It seems likely to me that with the three teams Savard has named as desirable destinations (Detroit, Ottawa, Toronto) not having strong interest in the centre, Peter Chiarelli will wait until July 1 when his no-movement clause becomes limited according to Nick Kypreos.
We will be doing a cover-it-live tonight starting around 6:45 p.m. ET.

Some nice turns of phrases
Certain songs have lyrics that I find fascinating. No great works of poetry, but still fun to listen to.
In The Weight by The Band, they describe what being really tired feels like ~
Pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead.
Man... "half past dead"? That's one tired bubba. Any of you ever feel "half past dead"?
Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra. At the end of a perfect day, night begins to fall. I like the way Jeff Lynne describes sunset ~
Mr. Blue you did it right,
but here comes Mr. Night,
creepin' over, now his hand is on your shoulder...
I've always thought that painted a neat mental picture.
What's The Use Of Getting Sober (When You Gonna Get Drunk Again?) by Louis Jordan ~ truer words were never spoken.
Tempted by Squeeze. Some guy cheats on his wife, and can't stop. And I'm not sure if he really wants to quit. This is one of those 'tell a story' songs that never tells the end of the story ~
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
Ohhhh, mysterious.
Lady Madonna by The Beatles ~
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
What a perfect way to describe a slow Sunday morning.
Can anyone think of any others?

Web caching is a well-known strategy for improving performance of Web-based system by keeping web objects that are likely to be used in the near future closer to the client. Although most researchers focused on designing efficient caching with proxy and origin servers, the potential gain of exploiting client-side caching based on neuro-fuzzy system is not yet being investigated. Hence, this paper proposes a splitting web client-side cache to two caches, short-term cache and longterm cache. Initially, a web object is stored in short-term cache. The web objects that are visited more than the pre-specified threshold value will be moved to long-term cache and other objects in short-term cache are removed with time. Thus, we ensure that the preferred web objects are cached in long-term cache for longer time. In this study, neuro-fuzzy is employed to determine which web objects should be removed in order to create more spaces for the new web objects. By implementing this mechanism, the cache space is used properly. Experimental results have shown that the proposed approach has better performance compared to the most common caching policies and has improved the performance of client-side caching substantially.

Session spotlights the emerging church
Wayland Baptist University
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, March 14, 2009
By JONATHAN PETTY
Wayland Baptist University
With a thematic focus of "Doing more than we can dream," the 88th annual Pastors' and Laymen's Conference at Wayland Baptist University featured several breakout sessions, including one that looked at the emerging church and how pastors and congregations can connect with younger people.
Dusty Thompson, lead pastor at Redeemer Church in Lubbock, and Jeff Kennon, director of the Baptist Student Ministries at Texas Tech University, spoke about connecting with today's youth and young adults. In essence, the duo said today's church needs to be "relational and missional."
"The No. 1 thing is to be where they are and listen," Kennon said. "With Facebook, cell phones and text messaging, they are plugged into something all the time. But even though that is the case, they are relationally challenged."
Kennon explained that the younger generation is lonely and stressed out, and they don't have a network of people who truly care for them. They consistently look for "the catch," and want to know if a church or Christian organization is just going to love them without a self-serving agenda. He said the key is to start small and build one-on-one relationships.
Thompson said his church uses this approach within its small groups. While the church professes to be an "OK place to not be OK," it welcomes everyone and uses small groups to nurture people. Thompson said it is important to be "Gospel-centered" and to understand that the gospel is equally applicable to Christians as well as non-Christians.
"The Bible is a story of redemption," Thompson said. "We want to put the Gospel front and center. We want to reach a young crowd that may be burned out and re-engage them with the Gospel."
The pair also stated that the key to building strong relationships is to be yourself.
"Play to your strengths," Thompson explained.
He said many churches try to reach younger audiences by having "contemporary services," but every time a church wants to start a contemporary service it is not contemporary at all. They are usually 10 years behind the times.
"There is no magic formula," Kennon said. "I don't trust in any gimmick. The Spirit of God works. God has placed you where you are to care for the people around you."

Lexus RX400H - A True Lexus
By scottmason1 on
Vehicle2007 Lexus RX 400h 4dr SUV AWD (3.3L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
ReviewMy Lexus 400H is a great car overall, as my ratings have shown. It's a hybrid of course so it has a very smooth engine that does not roar but still makes sound if you accelerate fast. It is very quiet at low speeds and has great features. My particular RX400H has heated leather seats, navigation system and a 6 disk CD player with automatic everything. So, in a few words- it is luxurious. Everything about it is very smooth.
Best FeaturesI love how quiet it is below 25mph. It is a modern Lexus so steering is tight and the brakes are fantastic. I feel very in control when I drive it. Great back seats and big trunk. Great speakers too. Since it is a hybrid when you floor it you feel as though it is accelerating very fast even tho it is just the assistance of the battery.
Worst FeaturesAfter driving it for 2.5-3 hours my butt becomes very uncomfortable in the seats. Maybe they are not cushioned enough or something but it's very annoying.

Bulgaria Pays Off EUR 880 M Debt after Bond Success
Bulgaria has paid EUR 880 M on bonds due on January 15 after successfully floating EUR 950 M worth of five-year bonds at a yield of only 4.25% at the beginning of July, the finance ministry announced.
After the payment, Bulgaria's government debt has been reduced by around EUR 815.5 M from almost EUR 6 966 B to EUR 6 147 B, Deputy Finance Minister Kalina Karaivanova said on January 10.
Bulgaria tapped international markets in July to raise funds to repay the first tranche of about EUR 835 M (USD 1.07 B) in 11-year eurobonds maturing on January 15, 2013.
The Balkan country sold EUR 950 M worth of five-year government bonds at an interest rate of below 5%, considerably lower than the yield of 7.5%, which was achieved during the country's foray into international capital markets back in 2002.
Bulgaria's government and analysts have repeatedly stressed the fact that the sale was oversubscribed, and the yield – lowish, indicating that Bulgaria is under much less pressure in comparison with countries, considered until recently much less risky.
Analysts have also commented that the timing for the eurobond was right as it seized sudden improvement in market sentiment following the summer European Union summit.
BNP Paribas, HSBC and Raiffeisen were appointed to advise the Bulgarian state as well as manage the sale of the bond.

Back to For the Love of Jack Foundation
We left the house this morning at 5:00 am and drove to Boston for an 11:00 am Ultrasound. Surgery was to follow. The ultrasound went off on time, we had the wait 3.5 hours for the interventional radiology to perform te Abdomen tap surgery. Both kids were really well behaved considering they hadn't eaten anything since the night before, road five hours in the car and then placed in a procedure room for 4 hours.
Jack did have significant fluid in his abdomen again, more so than last time. So they proceeded with the tap and they drained off 2,160 cc's if fluid over and hour and half procedure. This is about 600 cc more than last time and is equivalent to a whole 2 litre bottle extra in his little belly area.
They said he did really well; rock steady vitals, he woke up great out of general and started eating a popsicle and asking to eat.
We finished up a Dana Farber with a weight and belly measurement and got cleared to leave. Did't have the energy to drive home tonight so we will stay at the RMH in Boston and leave tomorrow.
The plan is to hopefully not have any more excessive fluid and then start a new Chemo protocol a week from Friday. We have decided on a two chemo regiment that is Irinotecan (spelling) and Avastin (Bevaizumab).
Irinotecan is a chemotherapy drug made from a type of plant alkaloid known as a topoisomerase I inhibitor. It is thought to work by blocking the action of an enzyme in cells called topoisomerase I. Cells need this enzyme to keep their DNA in the proper shape when they are dividing into 2 cells. Blocking this enzyme leads to breaks in the DNA, which leads to cell death. Because cancer cells divide faster than normal cells, they are more likely than normal cells to be affected by irinotecan.
Bevacizumab is a type of targeted therapy known as a monoclonal antibody. A monoclonal antibody is a man-made version of an immune system protein that fits like a lock and key with a certain protein in the body.
Bevacizumab attaches to a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is required by the body to grow blood vessels. It is thought that by doing this, the drug stops tumors from being able to create new blood vessels to feed the tumor. This limits the tumors' supply of nutrients, which in turn may slow or stop their growth. For this reason, bevacizumab is sometimes referred to as an anti-angiogenic drug. Another theory is that it may help by making tumor blood vessels (which are usually leaky) more stable, allowing chemotherapy to get into cancer cells more effectively.
We march forward.
