Is it Bipolar II – or just plain Bipolar Disorder not yet recognized?
Google "Bipolar" on the "news" tab and see what you find. It is astounding how many semi-celebrities have come out and said "I have Bipolar Disorder". Unfortunately, the story is often about Bipolar II, which somehow makes it "better".
Bipolar Disorder is still a serious stigma – prevents people from getting jobs and such. Technically, as Bipolar Disorder is considered a disability, an employer who did not hire or fired an admitted bipolar patient based only on that fact would be in violation of the American Disabilities Act, but few people are willing to go to the carpet on that. Plus there is the little issue of being "able" to perform one's job. I can perform a job if I am taking meds. If I am off of meds, I become highly unreliable with a lot of other liabilities – risky behavior that I have decided not to discuss.
Only a couple of years ago, I was warned by a well-meaning family member against posting too much on social media about Bipolar Disorder – and this in his mind included "liking" too many Bipolar pages. He was concerned about my ability to obtain a decent job. I don't know if I have a "decent "job today – I have made my own way which works out better for me – no boss to annoy, no dress code, nobody else's time clock. For the most part, I don't worry about social media – I don't think I will ever have a "real" job again – no more frequent flyer miles for me.
I was once diagnosed as Bipolar II – but really, both the doctor and the therapist thought differently – they both knew that I had regular Bipolar Disorder but wasn't ready to accept it. Actually, I am pretty sure my doctor tricked me into taking Lithium for the first time by telling me that it would help boost my antidepressant activity.
In retrospect, I am astounded that I believed him since I know so much about medication – but I took the medication. How many of these people really have Bipolar I Disorder and just don't say so.
It is much easier for people to say and accept that they have Bipolar II. In my opinion (which is obviously vast and knowledgeable – just kidding, no really), Bipolar II is a way of sliding by the real diagnosis. As in "I have Bipolar Disorder but not really". "I have Bipolar Disorder but I am not crazy". "I have Bipolar Disorder but I am not dangerous". "I have Bipolar Disorder but I won't embarrass you".
When it gets down to it…wasn't that true for all of us at one time? Or at least didn't we believe it at one time? I still fit some of the criteria – I am "functional", "productive", "hypomanic" – except when I am not.
I often confuse my doctor when he asks how it is going by saying "good enough". What I mean is that I am not manic exactly, I am not depressed. Actually it works better for me if I am teetering on the edge of mania. If I am just crazy enough that I know that I am crazy – then I will keep taking my meds. Because I forget.
I originally sought treatment for severe depression – depression bad enough that I had to decide whether to kill myself or study (I had a big exam the next day). In retrospect, I was actually in a mixed episode with plenty of energy but in a really bad mood. Oh, and then there was the slight issue of the hypnogogic hallucinations which I denied at the time. See, even if I know that I have Bipolar Disorder – Manic Depression – I still forget.
It would be easier for me to say that I have Bipolar Disorder but it is "just" Bipolar II. I thought that too.

I've noticed that when God wants to tell me something, I end up hearing it over and over… and over again.
That has been the case for me these past three days.
Our message at church this past weekend, or the part of the message that stood out the most for me anyways, was that God gives us tests. He does this to help us to grow into the person He wants us to be.
At one point our pastor yelled, "WHEN YOU ARE BEING TESTED YOU BETTER PASS THE TEST, OR BE READY TO TAKE IT AGAIN!"
It stuck in my head. I got it. I knew what it meant.
I also know that I'm done taking this one particular test and I'm ready to move on! I'm ready to pass it!!
So, if the message in church wasn't enough, God made sure I heard it again. This time, in the form of a Facebook post from Joel Osteen (Don't you love when God talks through Facebook?).
So today, while I was thinking of a catchy name for this blog post, I thought of "Antique Chair Gets Its Racing Stripes."
At the time, I didn't think much of it, as I have always heard the phrase, "to earn your stripes," and I just thought it would be perfect for this chair.
Then, I decided to research "earn your stripes."
Here's what I found in the idioms dictionary… "to do something to show that you deserve a particular rank or position."
So, in order to move up in rank or position, to move to the next level, you probably need to pass a test. Right?
I mean, this isn't new to us. We've all been through school, so we should totally understand this logic.
The funny things is that when it comes to life, we either a.) don't realize we're being tested,or b.) like how we've been doing things and don't want to change.
Even if it's painful. Even if it's difficult. Even if you think it can't be done.
The test MUST be passed or else you are going to have to keep taking it again and again.
What test are you taking right now?
Are you as tired of taking that test as I am at taking mine?
What are you going to do differently today to make this time around different?
I'm not trying to "earn my stripes".
I have a different motive.
Mine comes from the Bible. James 1:12 to be exact…
"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord had promised to those who love him."
I'm ready to earn my crown.
How about you?
PS- This chair was painted in Annie Sloan Emperor's Silk and the stripe is in Old White. The whole chair was waxed with clear wax.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee starting wide receiver Gerald Jones has a broken bone in his left hand and could miss at least two or three games.
That would keep out the Volunteers' leading receiver from the past two seasons for games against No. 11 Oregon, No. 4 Florida and UAB.
Jones, who is a senior, led Tennessee (1-0) in a 50-0 win over Tennessee-Martin on Saturday with 86 yards on six catches. He left the field clutching his left hand midway through the third quarter after catching a 37-yard pass from Matt Simms, his longest reception of the game.
Dooley also says wide receiver Denarius Moore is questionable for Oregon on Saturday after suffering a "banged-up ankle," and offensive guard Jerrod Shaw is questionable with a right ankle injury.

This week, we get to learn a little bit more about the Top 16 dancers. The weirdest tidbits? Lindsay has a foot phobia, and Eliana killed her pet bird by sleeping on it. Maybe we learned a little too much. And while the dancers' unusual secrets might be memorable, their routines this week were definitely not. A lot of the routines didn't quite hit the mark, and got some rough critiques from the judges. Better luck next time?
Here are the top five performances from this week's episode of So You Think You Can Dance:
1. Charlie Chaplin-esque group routine
This number focused mysteriously around a bright red umbrella. With a bit of TV magic, the umbrella stood out beautifully against the colourless dancers. The costuming was also brilliant, complete with fake mustaches, baggy pants, and suspenders. Even the choreography seemed to mirror Chaplin's jerky movements and odd characters. All in all, a very cool routine.
2. Amber and Brandon "sultry and soulful" jazz
I don't know about the audience, but I felt like I needed a fan and a glass of water watching this routine. It was as hot and steamy as a summer in the deep South. Amber looked completely in her element and Brandon was a strong and supportive partner. My favourite part? When Brandon pushed a chair across the stage, which Amber sat on without even looking at it! How do they do that?!
3. Amelia and Will's quirky contemporary
I think the best part of this routine wasn't the actual dance but choreographer Mandy Moore hitting on Will. Seeing her jump into his arms screaming "lift me!" had me in stitches. Which Will might need since it seems Mandy has sunk her claws in him. And really costume department? You put Amelia in a suit? I know she likes to keep pale, but showing a little skin indoors wouldn't hurt.
4. Eliana and Cyrus' hip hop
NappyTabbs is back with the real hip hop choreo and I LOVES it! But of course, it wouldn't be a Napoleon and Tabatha routine without some kind of weird storyline. In this instance, Eliana is a toy ballerina and Cyrus is a robot. Not much of a stretch character wise, but the sharp, robotic choreography was anything but easy. Luckily, these two pulled it off wonderfully, with Eliana proving that even ballerinas can have swag.
5. The Alvin Ailey dancers
There seems to be a trend of putting hot, muscular, talented male dancers in high-waisted flowy skirt-like things and I'm not sure I'm down with it. First Sonya now this? But even a strange costume choice can't hide the fact that these men are phenomenal.
And now to my least favourite part. After seeing four of the bottom six contestants' dance for their lives, Amber and Brandon were eliminated. I must say, it's unfortunate that the new system is based on last week's votes, since their number this week was my favourite of the night.
Anywho, see you all in two weeks!

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) The former head of the Chelsea Housing Authority was charged in federal court on Wednesday for falsely reporting his salary in required annual budgets.
Former Executive Director Michael E. McLaughlin, 67, of Dracut is facing charges that include four counts of falsifying a record in a federal agency matter with intent to impede and obstruct that matter.
Federal officials claim McLaughlin concealed and falsified entries in records and documents including in the annual fiscal year budgets of the Chelsea Housing Authority between 2008 and 2011.
McLaughlin is accused of stating his annual salary was $151,945, when his actual salary for 2008 was at least $242,908 under his contract. This alleged false reporting continued for three more years.
The 67-year-old is faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty, which would be followed by three years supervised release and a $250,000 fine on each count.
Former director Michael McLaughlin was forced to resign in 2011 after it was revealed he hid his inflated paycheck and cashed in unused sick and vacation days despite working only 15 full days in 2011.
The former housing authority head was involved politically with Lt. Gov. Tim Murray. The lieutenant governor reportedly helped McLaughlin's son get a job on the state Board of Appeals. His son was later fired amid allegations that he falsified time sheets.
In a surprising decision, Lt. Gov. Murray announced last week that he will not run for governor in 2014 due to his responsibility to family.

A BRAVE teenager from Pontefract has proved she's a cut above after having 14 inches of her hair chopped off for charity.
Imogen Kaye, 13, underwent the extreme haircut in aid of the Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs for children with cancer.
The King's School pupil has been growing her hair for the past year in preparation for the fundraiser.
She will now donate the long locks to the charity – along with the £500 she has raised in donations.
Imogen said: "I got the idea from a young woman called Carrie Fletcher who is from the cast of Les Misérables.
"She is cutting her long hair in July 2015. This inspired me to look further into the charity and donate my hair, also to raise further funds for this lovely charity."
Dad Jamie said: "She was nervous beforehand but it's all for a good cause.
"I am really proud because it was her idea to do it.
"She is a big Les Misérables fan and she brought it up and pursued it herself."
Imogen visited the Renegade Hair Studio in Cookridge on Saturday, July 12, to have her haircut, where they cut her hair for free.

February 26, 2013
By: Kevin McCarthy, Principal Analyst
You asked for an analysis of the energy provisions in SB 843, "An Act Concerning Revenue Items to Implement the Governor's Budget," currently before the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee.
This bill establishes a process to group electric company customers who have not chosen a competitive supplier (standard service customers) and have suppliers bid for the right to serve them. Under the bill, the suppliers entering the winning bids would have to offer to serve these customers for at least three years and initially charge a rate that is at least 5% below the standard service rate. The customers would retain their right to choose another supplier.
The bill extends, for two years, the temporary tax on certain electric generators and expands the generators to which it applies.
Lastly, the bill establishes a credit against the utility companies tax for gas companies equal to costs they incur in providing incentives for prospective customers who are more than 150 feet from existing mains to connect with the gas distribution system.
Current Law
By law (CGS § 16-244c), the electric companies must provide standard service to residential and small commercial customers who have not chosen a competitive supplier. There were approximately 818,000 standard service customers as of January 31, 2013, according to the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA). A PURA procurement officer procures power for these customers. In contrast, nearly half of residential customers and approximately 60% of small commercial customers have chosen suppliers.
Aggregation of Customers
The bill requires the state to aggregate (group) residential and small commercial "standard offer" (i.e., standard service) customers who have not contracted with a supplier as of June 1, 2013 for the purpose of auctioning the right of suppliers to provide competitively-priced electric generation service to them. The bill implicitly requires suppliers bidding for the right to serve these customers to offer to pay the state a specified amount per customer for this privilege.
The bill allows a customer who has been aggregated and auctioned to an electric supplier to continue to choose to obtain service from any other licensed supplier at any time. It appears that a customer could return to standard service, although the bill does not specifically permit this.
Request for Proposals
The bill requires the PURA procurement manager to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to all licensed suppliers for bids to provide a full service contract to blocks of residential customers and small commercial customers. The bill does not define "full service contact" but it appears to mean that the winning supplier must provide electricity to meet the total demand of the customers it will serve. The procurement manager must issue the initial RFP by July 1, 2013.
The electric companies must provide relevant data the procurement manager requests to develop the RFP. This must at least include the (1) average per customer usage in each customer class for the previous 12-month period; (2) number of customers who are delinquent, have defaulted, or are in collections; and (3) net average number of customers who chose suppliers in the preceding 12-month period.
The procurement manager must establish the criteria for selecting the successful bidders and publish the notice of the RFP to each licensed supplier. The bids must include the price per customer the supplier will offer for the right to supply electricity to (1) blocks of at least 100,000 customers and (2) each additional increment of at least 10,000 additional customers.
The bidders must offer to serve these customers for at least three years. They must offer a price that is at least 5% below the standard offer rate for the customer's class (there are several residential and small commercial rate classes) as of April 1, 2013. The price per customer (1) must be expressed in cost per kilowatt hour and (2) may include different rates for different customer classes and levels of usage. The supplier must offer this rate for at least 12 months from when its service begins.
The bid must include a schedule for determining rates for the subsequent two-year period. The bill does not address how rates would be set in this period.
The procurement manager may require suppliers to provide assurances that they will fulfill the contracts resulting from the auction. A winning supplier that fails to fulfill its contractual obligations is subject to (1) civil penalties (generally up to $10,000 per violation), (2) the suspension or revocation of its license, or (3) a prohibition on accepting new customers, following a hearing that is conducted as a contested case.
The supplier or suppliers awarded a competitive supply contract as a result of the auction must remit the amount accepted as its per customer bid to the state for deposit into the General Fund within 30 days after the date of the award.
The procurement manager must issue subsequent RFPs at least every three years or when there are at least 10,000 new residential and small commercial customers on the standard offer who are not served by suppliers.
On-going Responsibilities of Electric Companies
Each electric company must continue to serve any (1) residential or small commercial customer not transferred to a supplier as a result of the auction or (2) new residential or small commercial customer that does not select a supplier.
The bill does not address how the auction would interact with the current procurement for standard service customers. The procurement manager has already procured part of the electricity projected to be needed for standard service customers for the next two years.
Current law imposes a temporary tax on electric generation facilities of ¼ of a cent per net kilowatt hour of electricity generated and uploaded into the regional bulk power grid at Connecticut facilities. The tax, which expires on June 30, 2013, applies to all electricity except that generated (1) through use of a fuel cell or alternative energy system, such as a solar or wind system; (2) a resources recovery facility; or (3) by a customer-side distributed energy facilities (e.g. cogeneration systems) with a generating capacity of up to 65 megawatts.
The bill extends the tax, at the same level, until June 30, 2015. It also expands the tax to apply to generators selling, delivering, or transferring electric generation services. This would include generators who indirectly upload their power to the grid (e.g., a generator that transfers the power to an affiliate, who then uploads it on the grid).
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has developed a comprehensive energy plan pursuant to PA 11-80. As described in OLR Report 2013-R-0163, the plan has several provisions to encourage individuals, businesses, and other entities to switch to natural gas.
Beginning July 1, 2014, the bill establishes a credit against the utility companies tax for gas companies that provide financial incentives for certain customers who convert to natural gas. The credit equals the amount credited by a gas company to an eligible customer, up to $500 per customer. Under the bill, an eligible customer is a person
1. whose premises are not located on or within 150 feet of a gas distribution main as of July 1, 2013;
2. whose premises are included in a gas company's expansion plan and approved by DEEP pursuant to the comprehensive energy plan; and
3. who makes a commitment to a gas company, between July 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014, to convert to natural gas when it is available.
Under current practice, persons located more than 150 feet from a distribution main often must pay part of the cost of being connected to the main.
To claim the credit a gas company must establish, to the revenue services commissioner's satisfaction, that it has passed the credit on to each eligible customer on his or her monthly bill or invoice. No credits may be allowed by the gas company to eligible customers until calendar quarters starting on or after October 1, 2013. The total amount of credits may not exceed $5 million in each fiscal year, starting with FY 15.

Arsenal cannot afford a slow start to the season, says winger Theo Walcott.
Arsenal face Newcastle United in their opening Premier League game on August 13 before playing Liverpool and Manchester United, while they also have a massive two-legged Champions League qualifier to come.
Walcott said: "We don't expect any game to be easy but we will be ready when it comes.

24 hours ago, I went to bed stunned. I really did believe that America would vote Hillary Clinton into office. Perhaps I was too naive.
It's been a rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions in the ensuing hours. I'm pretty sure I went through all the stages of grief and then started all over again today. For a period, I also blocked out the memory and managed to forget. I'm still grappling with how exactly I feel and what I think. It's pretty insane.
I know it's not the end of the world, or even the country. But I do truly feel that we could be headed down a dark path. Based on what happened in the campaign, there's a lot to worry about. Luckily the government has power spread out and things don't generally move very fast. I'm hoping the more extreme ideas never come to fruition and I know we'll be looking out for ways we can help ensure that's the case.
At this point, I think it's important to remain hopeful and to be strong with those who value humanity without labels that separate. There has been so much division and disagreement in the discourse. I can empathize that certain Americans have been unhappy. I do not pretend to understand their plight, but I would certainly be upset if I felt marginalized and ignored.
However, I wish that this election wasn't the way for the disenfranchised to lash out. Will they really get what they want out of it? I'm doubtful… only time will tell. I personally could not ignore the consistent bullying and belittling. That is not the temperament and character of a president. I cannot respect a man like that.
I've seen a lot of people shocked, disappointed, upset, appalled, disgusted, and in disbelief. I am many of those things too, but at the same time, I have hope that the next couple of years will pan out in a more positive way than we expect in our fearful state. I know many will be working to secure a better future than we might foresee right now. I believe that's what we'll need.
For now, I'm taking a moment to mourn. There will be some tough roads ahead.« Prev:Prospurly August 2016 review Adobe Analytics Challenge 2016:Next »

Throughout 2014 Ballymoney man Gary Boyd will be going to extreme lengths to raise vital funds for WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals).
His next adventure, on February 2nd, will be "Ireland's toughest physical and mental endurance challenge", Hell and Back.(www.hellandback.ie) Previous events include the "Race over the Glens", a 5.5 mile endurance race through Glenariff on New Year's Day.
The 27-year-old post graduate student is taking part in these events throughout the year to raise money for animal protection worldwide.
Gary said: "2013 saw Facebook and Twitter flooded with extreme images, articles and videos of horrendous animal cruelty in both local areas and around the world.
"I know that anyone who happened to click on these links was completely disgusted by such inhuman behavior towards animals. But what was actually done about them?
"While I don't doubt for a second that many of these links were posted purely for shock value, while others may have been posted to raise awareness - did any of them actually make a difference? I sincerely hope so, but it's not enough to hope. The time has come to step up and make sure something is done.
"Every month throughout the year, I will be taking part in many extreme physical challenges to aid WSPA in their work. I've never done anything like this before but I am looking forward to it as a personal challenge and a way to raise money for a great cause.
"The charity not only works in local communities and farms, but also on a worldwide scale, protecting endangered species from poaching and illegal trade. It is an absolute pleasure to be working with them."
To support Gary Boyd in his extreme adventures contact him on 07759199952 or email email@example.com

Tales of the Crimson Boar
Not even five feet tall and less than 100 pounds soaking wet, Jules nevertheless commands the respect of the patrons of the Crimson Boar. An accomplished martial artist, she's taken down more than one burly brawler with too much grog in him. She does enough talking for both herself and Vincent. Her exotic features are fetching to most men (and even a few women).
EDITOR'S NOTE: Although perhaps not readily obvious due to issues of scale, Jules was originally conceived as a halfling, and so we chose to represent her with halfling artwork. If no halflings exist in your game world, feel free to simply re-skin her as a short human female or another appropriate choice.

Yves Engler is a Canadian commentator and author. His most recent book is The Ugly Canadian - Stephen Harper's Foreign Policy, and previously he published The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy and Canada in Haiti: Waging War on The Poor Majority
transcriptPAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay in Baltimore.The Venezuelan government has sent a card of protest to the Canadian government over Prime Minister Stephen Harper's comments upon the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Apparently, the prime minister sent his sympathies to the Venezuelan people but didn't mention the family of President Chavez. But the objections are more to this point--here's what Harper said:"Canada looks forward to working with his successor and other leaders in the region to build a hemisphere that is more prosperous, secure, and democratic. . . . At this ... juncture, I hope the people of Venezuela can now build for themselves a better ... future based on the principles of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights."More than 30 leaders from Latin America and outside Latin America actually went to Caracas to express their sympathy for the Venezuelan people and Hugo Chavez's family. There were messages from presidents all over the world, but apparently Prime Minister Harper's message stood out for its--what I guess some people have described as callousness or lack of diplomacy, suggesting that Venezuela will be better off without their president. And of course let's not forget this is a president of Venezuela who was elected at least four times.Now to discuss Prime Minister Harper's remarks and joining us from Ottawa is Yves Engler. He's a Canadian commentator and author. His most recent book is The Ugly Canadian: Stephen Harper's Foreign Policy.Thanks for joining us again, Yves.YVES ENGLER, AUTHOR, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Thanks for having me.JAY: So, first of all, what do you make of Harper's statement and the Venezuelan reaction?ENGLER: Well, the Conservative government on foreign policy on a whole series of different issues has tried to track to the right, if you like, of the American government. And this is a further example of that and going out of their way to express opposition to the social transformations taking place in Latin America. This is certainly not the first comment, declaration by Harper on Chavez and the Venezuelan government in this direction. Previously he's called the Venezuelan government rogue, a rogue country, and continually criticize the supposed lack of democracy in Venezuela. And, fortunately, the Venezuelan government did criticize the Conservative government. And this is, again, not the first time the Venezuelan government has responded to the Canadian government's positions on Venezuela by criticizing Ottawa. There was a prominent example about three years ago, where the OAS ambassador for the Venezuelan government ripped into Ottawa for siding with the opposition in Venezuela and criticizing the supposed lack of democracy in Venezuela. But the Harper government, one question that I ask myself to this is that even from the standpoint of the Canadian elite, is it in their interests to be so extreme on these issues, to go out of your way to basically piss off another government? It seems to me even from the standpoint of the Canadian elite this is a little bit extreme. And that's one of the reasons why Jean Chretien, the former prime minister, actually went to Chavez's funeral and, you know, said basically fairly positive things about Chavez in the aftermath of--or after his death.JAY: Yeah. I mean, I think Chretien's--actually has had some background lobbying for companies that are trying to do business with Venezuela. But that kind of speaks to your point. How on earth is it in the, quote-unquote, national interest--and you're calling that the elite's interest, when they define national interest by their interest. But, at any rate, yeah, you'd think there's actually an opening, the way there has been an opening traditionally, which Harper has maintained with Cuba, for--you know, Canadian businesses have had big opportunities in Cuba that the Americans don't have because of the blockade or sanctions against Cuba, and you'd think there'd be all kinds of interests for Canada to be able to take advantage of the anti-American feeling throughout the whole of Latin America, not just Venezuela, and at least shut up and see what they could--how to make money out of the situation. And he's not even doing that. He's so ideological about this.ENGLER: That's precisely it. It's just they represent this very extreme right-wing ideological faction. And one of the interesting things after Chavez's death is that the Globe and Mail business section front page a day after had two different articles, one about Scotiabank's--a prominent bank, Canadian bank's interests in Venezuela, which were acquired in 1998 just before Chavez got to power, and talk about whether Scotiabank would increase their investments in Venezuela post Chavez's death; and another one about the mining sector. So there's no doubt the Canadian business class is very interested in how post Chavez will play out in terms of their investments and they have a desire to ramp up those investments. But at the same time, I think that the Canadian business class had so much money invested in the mining sector and natural resources throughout Latin America that what Chavez represented, which was a sort of a nationalistic sort of policy, it very much threatens Canadian mining and oil interests across the hemisphere and may, I think, at a macro level have a real hard time dealing with what's gone on in Venezuela and want to make sure that other countries in the hemisphere feel as much pressure as possible to not follow in those footsteps. And, obviously, there's been, you know, steps in that direction in Bolivia, Ecuador, to some extent. But I think the Canadian government has been quite active and in some ways successful in working with sectors of the--you know, in the case of Ecuador, working with Ecuadorian government to maintain the interests of Canadian mining companies. So while on one hand it's--certainly cutting off Venezuela, cutting off Canadian investment in Venezuela, and being so aggressive towards Venezuela hurts Canadian investment in Venezuela, it has a certain use in terms of trying to dissuade other countries in the hemisphere from going down that path where there is, you know, over $100 billion in Canadian mining investment [crosstalk]JAY: I mean, I would argue the other way. I mean, I think especially countries like Ecuador and Bolivia and some of these other places that have a real sympathy for Chavez, and even more broadly across Latin America, 'cause I think most of the leaders, as you could see from the funeral, have had some sympathy for Chavez, I think it's going to hurt--they're not going to be intimidated by Harper. It's going to hurt them. At some point they're going to have some decision to make. And, you know, maybe it won't tilt the balance, but it could, you know, color their decision and remember that Harper--you know, mouthing off against Chavez that way. You know, as irrational and subjective [as] I think Harper's comments are, you can get the same thing on the other side, that, you know, they might tilt a decision against Canada.But let me ask you one other question about this. How much does this have to do with how close Harper is to the, you know, right-wing zionism and the hate they have for Chavez? Because he was very outspoken in support of the Palestinian cause.ENGLER: Yeah. I would say it plays a role. But I think it's more--if you look at someone like Peter Munk, the head of Barrick Gold, he has gone out of his way to call Chavez a dictator and actually wrote a letter to The Financial Times back in 2007 criticizing The Financial Times for its editorial on--which was actually a critical editorial of Chavez, and saying it was way too benign of an editorial. So someone like Peter Munk, the head of Barrick Gold, who is quite close with Conservative Party officials, is actually--Nigel Wright, the head of chief of staff for Harper, he is the godfather of Peter Munk's son's child--so, you know, really close business ties and personal between Nigel Wright and Peter Munk's son. And so I think it would be--more reflect that. But what also--you know, it all fits within the same kind of position. And Israel is another issue where the Conservatives have taken a position even more to the extreme, at least rhetorically, than the American government, where they give blanket acceptance for all of Israel's ongoing annexation of territory, colonization of territory in the West Bank. And it fits--it certainly--the position on Chavez fits also, you know, with them criticizing--repeatedly criticized Chavez or Venezuelan government for supposedly being antisemitic. That criticism has been waged a whole series of times by the Harper government against Venezuela. And that's, you know, intimately tied with Chavez's shutting down of the Israeli embassy in Caracas. And it was actually the Canadian embassy that took over Israel's diplomatic relations in Venezuela after the Venezuelan government shut down the--or expelled the Israeli ambassador. So Canada actually became Israel in Venezuela. So there's no doubt that that's certainly in the background to Harper's hardline criticism of Venezuela and his recent comments after Chavez's death.JAY: And as a Canadian, I have dual citizenship. But the Canadian part of me and I know all the Canadian viewers we have will want to remind everybody Harper did not get a majority of votes. It's just the crazy Canadian voting system elected him with a majority government. And I think it's pretty clear he doesn't reflect a majority of Canadian public opinion on these foreign policy issues. But anyway, with that being said, he is the prime minister of Canada.Thanks for joining us, Yves.ENGLER: Thanks for having me.JAY: And thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.

During the Las Vegas summer league, Jason Terry said he
bumped into Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich.
It was not a happy reunion.
"It was the Spurs, our rival,'' Terry said
of the playoff loss. "And then I see Pop in Vegas. We talked a little and
that was definitely part of the conversation, them beating us after we got the
them (the previous year).''
Terry didn't go into details, but it was clear that
Popovich took great delight in the payback. And Terry didn't like having
to hear it, even though it was the truth.
Terry added that the way last season ended left a
lasting burn.
"It's eating at me now,'' he said. "And
until we get to the playoffs next spring and win a series and get to the
conference finals and Finals, it's still going to eat at me.''

What does rainmaking mean?
Definitions for rainmaking
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word rainmaking.
Princeton's WordNet
activity intended to produce rain
The attempted artificial production of rain, either by use of magic or by seeding clouds
Hiring someone who creates business opportunities or revenue.
Rainmaking, also known as artificial precipitation, is the act of attempting to artificially induce or increase precipitation, usually to stave off drought. According to the clouds' different physical properties, this can be done using airplanes or rockets to sow to the clouds with catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide and salt powder, to make clouds rain or increase precipitation, to remove or mitigate farmland drought, to increase reservoir irrigation water or water supply capacity, or to increase water levels for power generation. In the US, rainmaking was attempted by traveling showmen. It was practiced in the old west but may have reached a peak during the dust bowl drought of the American West and Midwest in the 1930s. The practice was depicted in the 1956 film The Rainmaker. Attempts to bring rain directly have waned with development of the science of meteorology, the advent of laws against fraud and increased communication technology, with some exceptions such as cloud seeding and rain dances or other forms of prayer, which are still practiced today. Prayer for more rain is also a cross cultural practice in Christian and Muslim Ethiopia as well as in areas where people keep "traditional" non-scriptural religions. In the Christian areas the Defteras believed to have the wisdom to arrest the rain, to bring hail to farms of individuals who refuse to comply with religious rules as well as to bring more rains when the rainy season fell short of giving the usual amount of rain needed for growing cereals.

text: IMPORTANT: alpha testers should read the release notes below. This software has already had one bug that could eat your system and several that could badly mangle its status databases and cause packages to be broken. If you are already using 0.93.62 and don't want the new --search functionality you probably don't need to upgrade. (If you're using 0.93.61 or earlier you definitely do need to upgrade). This version works around the bash exit status bug/misfeature triggered in the preinst script. This is only important if you're upgrading to the new C dpkg from the old Perl one. If you are doing this upgrade you should make sure that you use 0.93.63 if you have bash 1.14.1. dpkg (0.93.63) ALPHA; priority=LOW * preinst works around shell bug/misfeature involving `trap'. * dpkg --skip-same-version doesn't skip packages which have an error flag set or which aren't in a standard `installed' state. * dpkg --search now does a substring search if the string doesn't start with a wildcard character (*, [ or ?) or slash. * problem with C/C++ linkage of stuff in "myopt.h" fixed, to help with compiling with GCC 2.7.0. * dselect Makefile.in `clean' deletes curkeys.inc &c, so that they are not shipped in the distribution source and will be rebuilt on the target system. -- Ian Jackson <firstname.lastname@example.com> Thu, 27 Jul 1995 13:38:47 +0100 9cc3cd5552a44800e3de0fce46aa3d61 dpkg-0.93.63.deb 9af20fe128a9424062aa2858ebc438ae dpkg-0.93.63.nondebbin.tar.gz 4e81657319e9f2332bfcae60b4300fee dpkg-0.93.63.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 383937 Jul 27 14:02 dpkg-0.93.63.deb -rw-rw-r-- 1 root ian 381888 Jul 27 13:59 dpkg-0.93.63.nondebbin.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 217455 Jul 27 13:47 dpkg-0.93.63.tar.gz This is the new C dpkg, available for alpha testing. To be a candidate alpha tester you need: 1. To be competent. You need to know at least roughly how dpkg is supposed to work, and you need to be able to edit /var/lib/dpkg/status. 2. Backups of your system. This version of dpkg has code that can call `rm -rf -- <something>' ! I have hedged it with checks, but something might go wrong. 3. Coredumps enabled. What would be especially useful would be for someone who has plenty of spare disk space to try a test installation. Features in the new release include: * Full support for virtual packages. * Completely rewritten in C - much faster. * No longer vulnerable to bugs in `tar' (better handling of symlinks, etc). * Better conffiles handling - tends to prompt less about files the user has never heard of, and also doesn't routinely displace the users' files while unpacking the archive. * Better handling of files that always need to be present - no more need to use `ln' and `mv' in the maintainer scripts. * Better handling of files from one package which overwrite some from another. * More maintainable. IMPORTANT: there is a problem with conffiles that will only happen once, but it will happen to ordinary users as well as you alpha testers: The conffile naming scheme for unpacked but not configured packages has changed in this version. It used to be <foo>.dpkg-tmp for the user's version and <foo> for the package maintainer's new one. These are now <foo> and <foo>.dpkg-new respectively. This means that the users files are not messed about with unnecessarily, but it does mean that if you use the new dpkg to configure a package unpacked with an earlier version, but not yet configured, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CONFIGURATION INFORMATION. You should be aware of this, and use the old Perl dpkg to get packages in an appropriate state before installing dpkg 0.93.50. YOU SHOULD INSTALL DPKG 0.93.50 IN A DPKG RUN ALL ON ITS OWN. This is for the same reason - if anything goes wrong, you may find yourself with dpkg 0.93.50 on the system and some unconfigured packages that you can't fix. The preinst script will notice that you're upgrading from pre-0.93.50, warn you and give you the option to back out of the installation. It will also spot packages which are in `bad' states and offer to abort the installation, and let you know what to do after you've aborted. The Perl version (equivalent to 0.93.42.3) is also installed, as `perl-dpkg'. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary. Known issues outstanding are: * Dependency and conflict processing needs better testing. If you notice odd behaviour please report it, with a copy of your /var/lib/dpkg/status file and details of what you did. Use --force-depends, or --ignore-depends=<package>, if necessary. * There is no support for reassembling split packages. * There are no options yet to set conffiles update behaviour. * The binary is currently statically linked, unstripped and contains debugging symbols. It has some malloc-paranoia enabled too. I'll change this when the new dpkg is beta. When you report a bug whose cause isn't immediately obvious, bear in mind that the following information may make it much easier for me to find the problem: (i) If the bug is reproducible, provide the output of running dpkg with some useful combination of debugging flags: dbg_general= 00001, dbg_scripts= 00002, dbg_eachfile= 00010, dbg_eachfiledetail= 00100, dbg_conff= 00020, dbg_conffdetail= 00200, dbg_depcon= 00040, dbg_depcondetail= 00400, dbg_veryverbose= 01000, dbg_stupidlyverbose= 02000, Specify any combination of these using -D<octal>. -D7777 is likely to be very large - if I need that much detail I'll mail you and ask for it. (ii) If you get a segfault: ensure you get a core file, and at the very least run gdb on it and mail me the output of `where'. If it's not too large (500Kb, say) gzip it, uuencode it and mail it to me in a separate message. Don't delete it, I may ask for it. (iii) Provide a copy of your /var/lib/dpkg/status file, preferably before and after the problem manifests itself. gzip and uuencode it if it is large. (iv) Tell me where I can get any .deb files required to reproduce the problem. Provide their MD5 checksums. -- Ian Jackson, at home. firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com +44 1223 575512 Escoerea on IRC. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iwj10/ 2 Lexington Close, Cambridge, CB4 3LS, England.

I have a lot of respect for GC, but his comments on Eyes of the Beast on Twitter were simply ridiculous.
Eyes of the Beast, a skill that allowed hunters to channel a spell which gave them direct control of their pet, was a fun spell that many people enjoyed messing around with. You could play around with it in cities, you could use it for RP, and it was good fun running around as your favourite pet Yes it wasn't a DPS skill, or one you would even use in your rotation, but it was still a fun skill that thematically fitted the Hunter's kit of spells. Many classes have these type of spells, such as Mind Vision (Priests), Far Sight (Shaman), Water breathing (Warlock; used to be Shaman as well but that too got removed as 'bloat'). Spells that are just 'fun stuff' that sit on page 3 or 4 of your quickbar and are messed around with every now and again.
I think GC seriously needs to examine exactly what he means by 'bloat' and be more precise in its definition, because his and my definition are very different. For me, Hunter bloat does not come from skills like Eyes of the Beast, which are almost out of combat fun stuff, but rather from in combat cooldowns like Bestial Wrath, Focus Fire, Rapid Fire, Dire Beast, Readiness etc. Especially ones with short to medium cooldowns of 30-120 seconds. This is why my hunter alt has taken some passive talents just to reduce the clutter - and whether I had Eyes of the Beast or not would make no difference. Bloat is not the total number of spells a class has but how many buttons and cooldowns we have to manage while fighting.
Ultimately it effects us all, because from the sounding off which GC has given, I expect them to try and cut out more 'bloat'. I would be happy for them to merge my Druid's Swipe and Thrash abilities, but please lets not delete Aquatic Form because apparently it has no DPS gain in raids, and somehow 'overwhelms' the player with clutter. We don't need nannying, we can figure out what is and isn't useful in a competitive combat situation. :P

2 Timothy 1:3-14
Although we shall (Dv) celebrate the Reformation of the Church on Saturday next, we have left the red on the altar—color of the Holy Spirit, of fire and love, of martyrdom and life in the blood of Jesus. Many of our sister churches will be celebrating the Reformation today.
The theme of this day's celebration is the Gospel of God concerning His Son Jesus Christ, the message that "He who through faith is righteous shall live." That is, the Reformation is the renewal of contrition and repentance.
For many people this message of life in the righteousness of faith seems strange, religious, and remote. And yet, if we look at our times, as the prophet Habakkuk looked at his times, we see "outrage and violence, contention and discord." We are in a litigous society where almost everyone is in contention for rights, As God asked Job, so He asks us, "Will you put me in the wrong so that you may be put in the right?" In such a world, Habakkuk goes to his watchtower to see and hear. What he receives is the vision and the message, one to be written large so that people in flight and in a hurry may see it: HE WHO THROUGH FAITH IS RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE.
Jesus makes it plain to us that the world in which this message is given is no friend of grace, no friend of faith. "Offenses" are in the world. Jesus is not referring to hurt feelings when he speaks of offenses. He is referring to those words and actions which say and demonstrate that it is not right to trust Jesus Christ as your Lord who by His cross has delivered you from sin and death and will deliver you over to everlasting joy in life with Him.
God's "little ones" can be offended in a varity of ways, but there is always one point and one point only: trip them up in believing that Jesus Christ is God's true righteousness given to us to make us right with Him in the life of faith. That is the world's goal; that is the goal of all worldings who think with the world. Such offense can be administered in a number of ways.
One is to neglect to teach the believers that alone in the Gospel of God is God's revelation and work of delivering us from death and giving us everlasting life. Always there lurks in the human breast that we can do some thing or be something that will put God under obligation to us—like the servant who thinks if he has worked hard all day at his joy and comes home in the evening, surely the Master will prepare supper for him and say, "My good servant, you have worked so hard today that i have done your work of preparing supper. Please sit down and let me be your waiter."
Two: if the teaching of the Gospel is not neglected, the tripping up of the believers can happen by altering that Gospel. To guard in safety and righteousness God has given prophets and apostles and pastors to guard and teach that message purely and truly.
Habakkuk saw and heard it. He was told: WRITE IT LARGE THAT EVEN [he] WHO RUNS CAN READ IT. The time is now for the message.
We heard St Paul exhort the young pastor Timothy to stir up the gift of God given to him when Paul laid hands on him in holy ordination. Do not be ashamed to testify to the Lord, said Paul. Do no be ashamed of the suffering of Christ or the apostle. You may trust this Christ, this Good News from God of rightness freely given to be received for faith. This Christ Himself will bring you safely through to that day of His appearing.
Guard that message and teach it. As with Paul, so with you, there will be those who turn back to the world, who turn away from the truth. But you? You suffer like a good soldier, standing at your post.
Last Sunday we heard St Paul say. First of all, to guard that message, engage the whole Church in supplication and prayer, intercession and thanksgiving.
In today's Gospel Jesus speaks of another way to exercise this Gospel of forgiveness of sins. If you[r] brother sins against you, "Rebuke him." Do not consider him an enemy or treat him as a diseased outside. Look at him with tenderness and compassion. Speak with modesty, meekness, and the desire that he hear you.
When he says, "I repent," forgive him. Do not grow weary in hearing and saying that word. Weary not of trusting in, loving, and living on that word. The Church stands or falls by this Gospel of the free and pure forgiveness of sins for the sake of Jesus, preached, heard, believed, and lived. Where this Gospel is not preached or heard or believed, there is no Church, only a religious society.
Offenses there will be in the world. Our Lord teaches us this fact. Our experience conforms to that word. The offenses when we refuse to use this Gospel for righting our lives with God and with each other; when we neglect to use this word of forgiveness and are seduced or led away to another way of righting our lives with god and with each other.
Little wonder the disciples blurted out: "LORD, INCREASE OUR FAITH." The great STONE of STUMBLING is Jesus Himself, the crucified and risen Lord. God selected this Jesus to be the CORNER STONE OF HIS CHURCH. In that Church you are built up into a holy temple, a priesthood to offer sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, declaring to each other and to the world the wonderful deeds of God, the heavenly word of the holy absolution.
Jesus is the One who destroyed our death by His death. Deep into our sin and shame and unrighteousness He was sunk, and buried in His death in the tomb. But He burst the bonds of death and rose from the grave. Mercy and truth have sprung from the earth. Righteous[ness] and peace have kissed each other. We are taught by Him to pray, "And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation." By His mercy we who daily sin much are forgiven. When the devil, the world, and our own native self seeks to seduce us into a superstitious 'other faith,' despair, and other great shame of vice, we pray for Him to guard and sustain us, that "though we are assailed by them, that still we may finally overcome and obtain the victory. Led by Him into life Himself, we dare to trust His mercy and therefore learn to be merciful to the sinners around us. "So will we also heartily forgive and readily do good to those who sin against us."
Today, as disciples of Jesus, we have been disciplined to sing hls praises, to cry out in supplication and intercession. We have implored the HOly Spirit for the true faith, the true Gospel, the true life in righteousness. Let us again say our "AMEN."

Ben Stiller directing horror film THE MOUNTAIN by Helen Childress for Fox
Ben Stiller is set to re-team with Helen Childress on his next project. Deadline reports that 20th Century Fox has picked up a spec script by Childress called The Mountain, which Stiller will develop to direct. He directed Reality Bites, which Childress wrote. Stiller and Red Hour's Stuart Cornfeld are set to produce.
The Mountain is a horror story based on characters from Summer, the novel by Edith Wharton. The story is set in the early 1900s and revolves around "a young woman who struggles to confront her destiny after stumbling upon a mysterious object that forces her to examine the secrets of her past." Imagine a sophisticated horror story that makes you think similar to Rosemary's Baby.
This is the second project that Stiller and Childress are working on. The duo are developing an adaptation of the children's book The Snowy Day. Stiller is set to star and direct a remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and he is starring in the Akiva Schaffer-directed comedy Neighborhood Watch with Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn.
I am having a hard time imaginig Stiller directing a horror film, but am interested in seeing how this project progresses. Reality Bites was a good movie, and I have enjoyed all of Stiller's directing gigs, even The Cable Guy.

SuperSport United midfielder Franklin Cale is looking forward to facing his former side when United take on Mamelodi Sundowns in the semi-finals of the Telkom Knockout cup competition.
"I actually didn't expect it (to be drawn against Sundowns) but I am quite happy," Cale said at the draw in Johannesburg on Monday.
"It's not going to be easy, it will be a tough game, because it's a derby, but I'm actually excited because I love playing against them.
"It's my former team and you always want to do well against your former team."
Cale believed United would be in for a tough encounter against their bitter rivals.
"We played Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup final this year and it is going to be an awesome game," he said.
"Sundowns are playing very good football at the moment and it's going to be a hard and a tough game."
Sundowns striker Anthony Laffor said the Brazilians, who have struggled in the league this season, would need to be in top form if they are to reach the final.
"We just need to concentrate," Laffor said. "If you watch their games, they have been playing well, and if we can maintain our composure in the first 45 minutes, I think we can beat SuperSport."
Laffor was confident the Brazilians, who beat AmaZulu 2-0 in their quarterfinal on Saturday, would be able to go all the way in the knockout competition.
"The most important thing is that we scored twice against Amazulu," Laffor said. "We are breaking the deadlocks, so we just need to move forward.
"Our confidence is high and in the Telkom Knockout we have done very well. I think we just need to keep it up and listen to our coach's instructions, because then nothing will be able to stop us."
In the other semifinal, Free State Stars host Bloemfontein Celtic in another derby match.
Stars knocked Wits out of the competition by way of a penalty shootout, after the scores were locked at 0-0 after extra time, while Celtic also had to rely on a shootout to advance, beating defending champions Orlando Pirates on Sunday.
The Premier Soccer League said dates and times of the fixtures for the penultimate round would be confirmed at a later stage.

You would think from the Israeli reactions (even, surprisingly, from Haaretz) that the title of the UNESCO resolution passed on Thursday was, "There Was Never Any Jewish Temple In the First Place." Haaretz's headline said the agency was guilty of "nullifying Jewish ties to Temple Mount." Isaac Herzog said UNESCO was "completely invent[ing] the fantasy that the Western Wall and Temple Mount have no connection to the Jewish people." You can imagine what Netanyahu and the right wing were saying.
This is Israeli propaganda that I'm sorry Haaretz fell for. (I don't expect any better from Herzog.)
The resolution, put forward by the Palestinians and six Muslim countries, protests Israel's actions in and around the Temple Mount and against Muslims praying or seeking to pray there. (Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock stand on the site.)
No mention of these complaints, however, is made in Israel. The only thing in the resolution that got noticed here was that it referred to the Temple Mount, which is what Jews and Christians call the place, only as "Al-Haram al-Sharif" – the "Noble Sanctuary," which is what Muslims call it. (The measure also referred to the Western Wall as "Al-Buraq Plaza" followed by the words "Western Wall Plaza," but with the latter in quotation marks, which also pissed Israelis off.)
I don't know if all the claims made in the UNESCO resolution are true. I don't know if, as claimed, Israel is blocking Muslim restoration projects or harming Muslim interests with its own earth-moving work. One thing I do not believe is that the State of Israel is deliberately "endangering Al-Aqsa," as Palestinians and other Muslims are convinced. Moreover, the common Muslim dismissal of Jewish roots at the holy site is a deep insult to Jews, and speaks very badly for popular Muslim attitudes.
But while Palestinian and Muslim notions about the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif are a problem, it's quite a display of blind arrogance for Israeli Jews to insist that Muslims include the Jewish name for the site in a complaint about Israel's rule over it, and that if they don't, they're guilty of, effectively, anti-Semitism. (Incidentally, the resolution "affirm[s] the importance of the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls for the three monotheistic religions …")
I say "blind arrogance" because only the most fastidiously even-handed Israeli Jew ever refers to that site as anything but the Temple Mount. It's safe to say that most Jews are unfamiliar with the name "Haram al-Sharif." An even greater majority draw a blank on "Al-Buraq Plaza."
Should they be accused of "nullifying Muslim ties to Haram al-Sharif"? Does speaking only of the Temple Mount make them, in effect, Islamophobes?
Also, the Israeli reaction is quite a display of colonial hauteur given that the Jewish state is the ruler over the holy site, that Israeli cops are stationed in the general area of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, that Israel determines who can go there to pray and who can't, and that it blocks Palestinians in the West Bank from getting not only to Al-Aqsa but to any part of Jerusalem.
Finally, it's incredible chutzpah for Israelis to insist that the resolution's Muslim sponsors mention the Temple Mount and the Western Wall (and the latter without the insolent quotation marks, thank you) – when Israel has deliberately erased the names, and often the actual physical presence, of so many Muslim holy sites over the decades.
Israelis don't forget how Jordan desecrated Jewish holy places in Jerusalem when the Old City fell under the kingdom's control after the 1948 war. Yet in May 2001, historian Benny Morris (evidently before he swung so sharply to the right) told me in an interview:
"What the Jordanians did to the synagogues in the Old City of Jerusalem pales in comparison to what Israel did to many more mosques all over the country."
Mosques stood in about half of the 400-plus Arab villages that Israel destroyed during and after the 1948 War of Independence, and except for a few isolated instances, the mosques were destroyed with everything else, Morris said. Another "several dozen" mosques were demolished in cities where Arabs fled or were forced out, such as Jaffa and Ashkelon, he added.
In some cases, mosques were left standing and repurposed, so to speak, by Israel. For instance, Morris said, the mosque in the prewar Arab village of Zakariyya was turned into a fuel storage dump in the postwar Jewish village of Zecharia. He noted:
"If this had been done to a Jewish synagogue, we would call it desecration."
And in the decades since 1948, as I was told by Meron Benvenisti, author of "Sacred Landscape – The Buried History of the Holy Land since 1948" and one-time deputy mayor of Jerusalem, "A great many Muslim burial sites were turned into the graves of Jewish saints."
So I ask myself: If I were a Palestinian Muslim, and all this was my history, and now I was barred from going to Jerusalem, or at best I had to pass through an Israeli police cordon to pray at Al-Aqsa, and there was of course no way in hell Israel would let me visit Al-Buraq Square, and I wasn't hearing Jews using the names "Al Buraq" or "Haram al-Sharif" – would I make sure to mention the name "Temple Mount"? Would I be careful to take out the quotation marks when I mentioned the name "Western Wall"?

Watch is well made and I have had mine for a couple years. It has been beat and banged around, in the water, in the dirt....I would re order this watch in any color that I can find still available. The "fault" here is the battery. You can not remove the watch face from the strap. The only way for battery replacement is to send the watch to Nixon. There is a service charge ( I haven't even contacted for pricing). My battery has lasted for 2 years. Not bad at all but I never pre thought about not being able to replace it. The price is right to buy another but like with many great things styles change and are not available or very hard to find. Bummer. My wrist is 6 inches and this watch adjust so well to fit without any movement and no excess strap.

Do I have legal recourse with this company?
Posted on August 04, 2011
Back on 06.20.11 I used a Travel Site to book flights from Florida to the Bahamas for a family vacation – foolishly I did not buy insurance. 2.5wks ago I broke my Collar Bone & cracked a Rib while in Colorado – I have a doctors certificate to prove. (Have also been advised by the doctor not to travel due to the unique nature of my broken Collar Bone). The flights were $797.00 The travel site is telling me the penalties (theirs & airlines) totals $600 - 85-90% of the total cost. I understand it's a business & expect to pay some type of cancellation, but believe the above is quite ridiculous. Do I have any legal recourse with this being an unforeseeable incident?

Howard Stern is hoping for a miracle to bring Sharon Osbourne back to "America's Got Talent" for next season.
"I'm kind of sad to hear that," Howard told Access Hollywood on Wednesday night backstage at "America's Got Talent" about Sharon's plans not to return. "I'm more than sad. I think that there's a great dynamic between Sharon, Howie [Mandel] and myself. I think we've been doing a good job judging. I enjoy working with Sharon, I've known her for years. I hope some sort of miracle can happen. Maybe she's got to walk into [NBC top boss] Bob Greenblatt's office and get down on her knees and beg him. I don't know what's going on I'm, I'm not privy to it, but I hope that she does return and maybe has a change of heart."
Howard's comments hint that he is interested in returning to the show. He originally singed a one-year deal with the program.
Howie opted for humor when Access brought up Sharon's impending departure at the end of the season.
"I'm still working on the Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart thing. I want to get Kristen to stay," he said when Access asked if there is a way to get Sharon to stay on the show.
"I am one man. So I'm working with Kristen right now and then I'm going to move on to Sharon," he added.

Also see Ann's review of The Morini Strad
Matt Friedman (Andrew Polk) is a talkative German-Jewish accountant, and he's in love. He has driven from St. Louis to this farm in Missouri to meet with Sally Talley. He's not welcome here, not by Sally's family and, particularly, not by Sally, but that doesn't stop him. There seem to be numerous reasons for the Talleys' resistance, involving age, religion, personalityand something else. After meeting the previous summer, Matt has been courting Sally by mail, even though his daily letters have gone unanswered. His persistence reaches new heights at this meeting, even though Sally is agitated and almost hostile to him. But we can tell she cares for him, and by about the 95th minute, we find out what is holding her back from choosing to leave a town where she's not happy and taking perhaps her only chance at love and marriage.
As Matt, Polk really grows on you, which is what he should do. Matt's a bit of what would now be called a nerd. He's a little too outspoken, and his tenacity and chattiness are irritating. But his desire for Sally is palpable and that is what drives him to continue battling with Sally until he learns what she is hiding. As an actor, Fitzpatrick is Polk's match. It's clear by her protests that Sally wants to go with Matt, but she feels she cannot. It nearly tears her apart to be taken to the point where she reveals the burden she has been carrying, and through Fitzpatrick's raw performance, we can feel that weight. The audience quietly roots for the couple's success.
Talley's Folly takes place on the fourth of July; it may not seem to be a logical holiday season play. But what is more fitting for this time of year than to witness true love and to leave the theatre feeling good? Set aside your shopping and decorating for a mere 97 minutes for a cozy appreciation of the work of one of America's great playwrights.
Talley's Folly continues at the O'Reilly Theater for Pittsburgh Public Theater through December 12. For performance and ticket information, call 412-316-1600 or visit www.ppt.org.

HARTFORD -- Majority Democrats in the Legislature and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy reached a compromise on a new two-year $43.8 billion budget Friday afternoon, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers has learned.
Full details were unavailable, but according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations between legislative leaders and the Democratic governor, the budget that would take effect July 1 contains no new taxes.
The compromise budget includes the partial restoration of the sales tax exemption on clothing purchases under $25. A planned extension of the tax on electric generation, scheduled to raise $70 million in revenue, would raise only $30 million under the Democratic deal.
The legislative adjournment is midnight on June 5, and the deal could reach floor votes by early next week, sources said.
Democrats and Malloy's office have struggled in recent days over the need to either cut hundreds of millions of dollars in proposed spending or move about $2 billion in anticipated federal Medicaid funds out of the budget to comply with the constitutional cap on spending increases.
The cap is a calculus of revenue, spending and cost-of-living changes that was approved by voters in 1992, a year after the enactment of the personal income tax.
When Malloy proposed his budget in February, he asked lawmakers to redefine the spending cap and remove contributions to pension plans' long-term debt from the budget's bottom line.
