Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the United Nations Security Council to pass a resolution to end Israel's occupation of the June 1967 territories, by ordering the immediate resumption of negotiations with a set time limit to demarcate the boundaries of a Palestinian state. He has put on hold the Palestinian accession to the International Criminal Court

Hope in the one state solution
As a fresh ceasefire continues to hold (for now) and the rest of the Middle East bleeds, the media can be forgiven for turning its attention away from the battered Gaza Strip. If the indirect peace talks in Cairo are successful and the ceasefire extended, then once again Palestine will be momentarily forgotten. The well-oiled
Chomsky and BDS
Many people who have come to value the courageous and principled stands of Noam Chomsky regarding injustice and imperialism are surprised to learn of his opposition to most aspects of BDS. Precisely because of the stature and influence of this "father of modern linguistics", it is especially important that his views be subject to the same
'Haaretz' conference trumpets tired word 'Peace' (when the only solution is 'equality')
The answer — the only answer — to Israel/Palestine is equality. But Haaretz, stuck in the old, now-meaningless paradigm of so-called 'peace,' is promoting an Israel Conference on Peace in Jerusalem on July 8. The biases are striking. Nowhere in the conference program is there a clear focus on equality, human rights, international law, or the rights of
What Comes Next: Five Palestine futures
This post is part of "What Comes Next?: A forum on the end of the two-state paradigm."

Interview with Haidar Eid: Resisting 66 years of Israeli Apartheid
In 2010, this interview was conducted with Dr. Haidar Eid as an activity by the Gaza BDS group and the One Democratic State Group (ODSG), but it has never been published before due to technical reasons. It was edited recently because this interview needs to be publicised since it tackles some of the most recent important and timely issues. Eid presents insightful
Beinart predicts J Streeters will tackle immigration before thinking critically about Israel
A day after Rebecca Steinfeld asked in Haaretz whether liberal Zionists will move left to support democracy or move right for permanent ethnocracy in the wake of the two state solution's autopsy, Peter Beinart on cue considers — and then totally avoids — the question. Writing about J Street: Absent some crisis that forces Washington's
Now that Israel has killed the two-state solution, will liberal Zionists support equality or ethnocracy?
Now that the Two State Solution has finally received belated, more-or-less official autopsy results, what will liberal Zionists do: move left to support a state of equality, or move right to support a state of permanent Apartheid ethnocracy? For a long list of self-identified liberal Zionists such as Peter Beinart, Jeffrey Goldberg, Thomas Friedman, Bradley Burston, Larry Derfner, and
Obama outmaneuvers Netanyahu, at last
For most of Obama's time in office, Netanyahu and the Israel lobby tied him down like Gulliver. After initially confronting Netanyahu on settlements, Obama retreated in humiliating defeat. This time round, however, Obama outmaneuvered Bibi, apparently using anonymous proxies to pin the blame for the recent talks' failure where it belongs: on Israel, for failing to end
In historic interviews, US officials blame end of talks on Israeli land theft
U.S. officials blamed Israel's "expropriating land on a large scale" to build colonies "on the territory meant for that [Palestinian] state" as the "primary" reason for the recent negotiations' failure, in a must-read Ynet interview with historic implications. This rare moment of honesty from anonymous officials of the dishonest broker stands in sharp contrast to the

As Secretary of State John Kerry's April 29 deadline looms for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the State Department has dropped any pretense that talks will result in a framework agreement, instead confirming that negotiations at this point revolve around keeping the moribund "peace process" on life support for a few more months.

Peter Beinart misses South Africa's apartheid lesson, Gideon Levy gets it
Returning to visit his native South Africa, Peter Beinart writes in Haaretz about the the changes, but misses the point: The South Africa I visited as a child was a brutal, isolated place… In today's South Africa, by contrast, multiculturalism is a state religion. The country is awash in tourists and has become a kind of
Palestinian youth say the talks with Israel are futile
Last summer when negotiations resumed between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, hundreds of Palestinian youth took to the streets of Ramallah to protest the Palestinian Authority decrying the talks. In fact August 2013 saw a string of protests from the city center to the Muqataa, the seat of the Palestinian government. And each protest ended the
Apathy in Ramallah as negotiations with Israel dive
As negotiations between Israeli and Palestinians leaders reach a crisis, in Ramallah, the urban reprieve and seat of President Mahmoud Abbas's government, the breakdown passes with much apathy.

From Volcanoes to Vineyards: how lava flows shape the landscape
November 10, 2011
This lecture will take place at the School of Chemistry of Bristol University on November 10 at 4 pm.
Basaltic lava flows cover much of the Earth's surface, as well as the surfaces of the other terrestrial planets; thus basalt forms the substrate of many volcanic landscapes (and, often, associated vineyards). The frequency of lava flow activity both threatens nearby communities and provides unique opportunities for volcanologists to study active volcanic processes.
For this reason, two of the earliest volcano observatories were founded at volcanoes with frequent lava flow activity (Vesuvius, Italy, in 1841; and Kilauea, Hawaii, in 1912). These dual motivations – hazard and opportunity – have also made locations of frequent lava flow activity the focal point for testing and applying new innovations in volcano monitoring technology, particularly new methods of remote sensing.
Professor Cashman will review some of these new techniques and place their contribution in the context of the challenges associated with monitoring and predicting lava flow behaviour, which relate not only to the high temperatures and spatial extents of active flows, but also to their dramatic changes in physical properties during emplacement (from liquids with included gas bubbles to dense solids).
Remote sensing observations are also providing us with new perspectives on the post-emplacement evolution of basaltic landscapes, including both their unique hydrological characteristics and key controls on flow revegetation.

gay uncle brett berk
From the Department of Cain and Abel
Sibling rivalry is normal, and some conflict is to be expected. The sibling relationship is like a marriage, only you enter into it when you're extremely young and immature, you're constantly being scrutinized and supervised, and you don't get to pick your partner.
Not MY Friend!
Hear me now, people: you are not required to be friends with the parents of your child's peers. In fact, I believe it can be beneficial to forego connections to them and let your kids make friends ON THEIR OWN.
Thanks, Mom
How do you deal with grandmothers bearing gifts? Gay Uncle knows.
Curse You!
Try as you may to avoid using what my third-grade teacher called a "garbage mouth" in front of your kid, they're inevitably going to be exposed to the wonders of four-letter words -- by you, by their peers, by hearing Lil Jon at the club.
Swine Flumor
Is your child panicked about Swine Flu, but still craving bacon? Are you wanting ultimate insulation from the bug, but praying to god they'd finish sanitizing the damn school? Do you already have mask rash? Then you'll enjoy this compendium of ways to protect your precious beloved.
Dial it Down
One of my colleagues here at momlogic recently posted a piece about washing her son's mouth out with soap. Once the kid inevitably crossed the line a final time, mom squirted some pineapple hand soap into his mouth and had him swish it around. The outcome? The boy pumped his fist and said, "YES! I ate soap!"
Lying Around
Parents often get extremely aggravated, or concerned, or humiliated when their kids tell a lie. Why?
Greased Palms Sully All
I love to be right. Fortunately, given my astounding expertise in things child-related, this happens with some frequency. In fact, just today, I received such a testimonial.

The Houston Choral Society is a professional-quality chorus dedicated to bringing audiences great choral music to enrich the soul and advance the choral arts. Founded in 1987, this 80-member choir is composed of passionate, experienced singers who perform a breadth of music from the great masters, contemporary composers, American heritage, musical theater, and opera. In addition to its musical vision of performing great orchestral music, the Choral Society also develops programming that allows audience members to connect with the music on an emotional level by taking them on a journey to explore a particular theme or idea through a diversity of style and genre that provokes thought, dazzles, and surprises.
In recent years, the group has presented a concert version of Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, Johannes Brahms' Requiem in the original German, and also debuted a commissioned piece by Dr. Adolphus Hailstork called Set Me on a Rock. The Choral Society has joined voices with various choirs in the past and performed at many Houston venues.
Last season, the Choral Society performed the beloved Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart together with the Benedicite of Ralph Vaughan Williams. At our Christmas concert, we presented the Houston premiere of Arnold Rosner's Magnificat and also offered the ethereal Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitacre, along with our traditional holiday favorites. The Spring concert was the inspiring "Let Music Live – A Salute to the Future of Music." This concert was dedicated to public school choir directors, and to all of those who work to help children experience the joys of music. The repertoire included music and poetry from Randall Thompson and Joseph M. Martin to William Shakespeare and Kahlil Gibran.
Always committed to community outreach, The Houston Choral Society has recently partnered with Cy-Hope, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make life better for the kids in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD. We are now exploring ideas for developing a music initiative for the mission.

(09/17/13) - The University of Michigan-Flint's club football team is ready to kick off it's fourth season. The Kodiaks face Oakland University on Saturday.
"We've been practicing all summer, getting ready for this game. I know Oakland's excited, because it's the first time they've ever had a team, and we're excited to just out there and kick some butt," said UM-Flint safety Alex Trombley.
The Kodiaks spent the last three years at Atwood Stadium, but decided to move their five home games over to Atherton High School in Burton. Cost was one of the factors.
"The old school atmosphere doesn't really work for us, and we just wanted to get a smaller venue and really pack them in every week," said Head Coach Don Mathews.
After struggling to stay afloat financially, the Kodiaks are now receiving some university funding, and moral support as well.
"Higher-ups in this university are coming to us and saying, hey, you guys are doing an excellent job, so we're stoked to hear that," said UM-Flint center Aaron Bigler.
The Kodiaks have also received help from those Wolverines in Ann Arbor.
"They donated a lot of shoulder pads, pants, jerseys, and all that stuff. We just want to give back even to our community now, just to show them how much they support us," Trombley said.
Last year, the team finished five and two, and even beat Southern Illinois, the number one team in the nation. Regardless of their level, the guys are just proud to wear the Maize and Blue.
"I don't look at it as a club sport or Division Three. It's college football. We play Ohio State, The Ohio State, and I know they look at it the same as the University of Michigan, not Michigan-Flint," Trombley said.
UM-Flint's success has caught the attention of recruiters, and even led to one player earning a scholarship.
"Marcus Tucker, a standout receiver last year, he actually caught a touchdown last weekend at Northern Michigan, and we're very proud of him," Bigler said.

Clundgren's idea regarding goblin women is noted by Her Tallness.
Also, regarding the leader of the Blood Elves: Regent Lord Bobby has had enough story written about him to make clear that there's a good deal of tension about "will he become king or not, he doesn't want to but there's pressure from Rommath or whoever, blah blah, that and the crown still seems to have Kael's blood on it in a mental sense". But that story angle doesn't seem expressed in-game much.
On the angle of dwarves, there's also the fact that in the recent Short Story w/ Thrall v. Deathwing in it, a certain Earthen was mentioned - I think that was a nod at Magni's fate.

Companies too often focus on adoption rather than performance impact
In the business world—and especially in IT—we like consistency. We script and automate processes. We design jobs around consistent, repeatable procedures. And, as a result, companies become pretty good at "business as usual." The problem comes when the unforeseeable and unexpected happens
…The benign phrase we use for how we deal with the resulting chaos of public relations nightmares and natural disasters is exception handling. My own past research suggests employees in a wide range of roles (including IT, customer support, logistics, manufacturing, sales, etc.) spend 60 to 70 percent of their time handling exceptions in one form or another. This means that, for many employees, exceptions are actually the rule, and that how we handle exceptions can become a substantial competitive advantage.
…There's been a lot of hype about social software without a lot of demonstrated results. One common problem: When implementing social software, companies too often focus on adoption rather than performance impact. Social software (like other new tools) should be implemented in specific teams for specific purposes, targeting metrics that matter to the business.

Parenting is not an easy job and everyone seems to have a different idea of how it needs to be done. For many moms and dads, it becomes almost impossible to have friendships with other parents because the way they parent is so different than the way you parent.
My husband and I are strict on some things -- saying please and thank you, not whining, listening to what we say -- and chill about others -- meal times, foods they eat, and playtime. This means that families who are strict about food might not like us and families who allow their children to whine or use adult words might not be liked by us. It can be hard to find people who jive.
We also hear all kinds of parenting "terms." There are "attachment parents" and "tough love" parents and everyone in between. But here are the 9 Mom Types I see most often:
Which parent "type" do you not like?

:-) Thanks for the stereotypes LOL
I have personal experience with #2, "my kid is always right"....I feel bad for the kid, this does the child no good and makes other people not want to be around this kid..................and it's not the kids fault!!
I have a hard time dealing with the moms who's kids can never be dirty. Especially when they come to visit me, I mean, I run a horse stable, theres dirt (and poop!) here, always. So don't bring your little girl for a play date in her best princess dress and toddler heels, and spend the date following her around and reminding her to stay out of the dirt! LMAO!
The only ones I can't deal with are the sanctimommies who are better than everyone at everything and the checked-out mommies who don't give a rats ass what their kids are up to. Other than that, I live and let live.

Getting Dumber
- August 15th, 2012
- Write comment
It has to do with art. In my case, painting. When I first took it up as a youngster, it was an enjoyable pastime that elicited praise from adults. Later, it became a source of rebellious expression. But when I began to educate myself about Art, painting became increasingly unpleasant. There was a desire to put the work into some category, to ascribe a certain meaning to it, and above to explain, explain, explain. It became a form of psychological torture.
I had a show one time in a little gallery and I spent a great deal of time writing up little explanatory notes about each painting which I had typeset and placed next to each piece. It was one of the most pretentious things I've ever done. Not that anyone noticed. And that was the most humiliating thing. No one cared about the meaning of the paintings. It's not for artists to determine such things anyway. Meaning is an artifice created by the artworld to enhance value. My paintings had no value, hence they were meaningless.
I abandoned painting and took up philosophy instead. I studied aesthetics and philosophy of art to see if I could justify my own artistic efforts. Of course, it made things worse. I now had at my disposal a whole new academic schema to apply to that field of activity. Academic analysis of the problem of art (its definition for example) became more important than the art itself.
Nearly twenty years have gone by, and in that time I've completed only a handful of paintings. I started something new a few weeks ago, though, and as I worked on it I found it to be not entirely unpleasant. After all, there's no pressure on me now. I have no illusions about what a successful artistic life ought to be. My explanation for the pleasure of the experience is, at least partly, that I have forgotten a lot of all that stuff. I'm dumber now. I'm closer to where I started and expecting very little.
Art, of all things, is anti-intellectual. That's not to say that artists are stupid in general, but they don't need to be very smart to do good work. My dissipated lifestyle is finally offering a modest reward: amnesia. The intellectual life is a lot of pretentious snobbery anyway. My new painting means nothing and has no value outside of the satisfaction I get creating it, hanging it on my wall and admiring this amalgamation of pigments and the way the look together. The subject matter is associated with a pleasant memory. As I look at what's left of my work, that's true for all the paintings. They remind me of places and times, emotions and experiences, and there's a bit of pride that I was able to render something more or less permanent that evokes those feelings and memories. But that's about it.

"One thing it does provide is a little more wiggle room for preference. If you want to focus on being a block tank, then more power to you. If your focus is on threat, then go for it. Gear for your playstyle and talent setup and adjust accordingly."
I love gemming for socket bonuses. It's more fun to me. Just filling every hole with Stam doesn't make me feel like I'm actively involved in bedazzling my gear. I'm dreaming of a post-Wrath era where this is more widely recognized as a viable strategy.
That would be fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath.
Largely, it'll depend on how much of a contribution the gems actually make to the relevant stats. If a tank can go from 75k to 100k health by stacking stam gems, then I bet the practice will continue, especially if that difference results in the loss of, say, 5% avoidance/mitigation.
I caught on to that just a few months ago. I'm a bear, and was walking around in ICC (months ago) with over 70k health. But I was working hard to hold aggro, and tanking was a miserable job. I (and the other 9) lived and died around me constantly taunting back stray mobs, stray bosses, hell i couldn't hold a stray cat. Marrowgar and Lady D can both one shot clothies. It's embarrassing to have Saurfang pulled off of you. Slowly it began to occur to me that I'm not a tank; I'm a bear.
Agility is my stat. Not defense or dodge; certainly not parry or block. I began needing on "DPS" gear - Agil & Stam + (crit, ap, haste, expertise, armorpen). Of course the leather is already like that, which was another clue in my reorientation. So I (re)bought the melee dps ring from ICC, the dps frost cloak and so on. The only tank item i have remaining is that frost key trinket that gives 228 stam. (that's too much stam bang for the buck to give up.)
Oh, and about your comment; gems. I started putting the gems they wanted me to have. Namely agility in red sockets and haste in yellows. Now, to me, the point of putting gems in sockets is to get the socket bonus. Lets me know I'm doing it "right". Blues still get stamina (obviously more health is better as a tank), but feral leather doesn't have blue sockets. Yet another clue from Blizzard.
Also replaced the survival instincts glyph for mangle. Now when I hit it, I've only got 75kish health instead of 90 or whatever. That has not once ever made the difference in wiping in ICC. 20 seconds of 15k health won't save us, but extra threat to keep them off the healer just might. Blizz never intended for you to need 70k to tank ICC. They did intend for tanks to hold aggro in there though.
So after all that, health was more like 62-65kish, and armor is down a tiny bit too (the cloak and rings had armor, but more agil gives armor) 30k?. However, dodge is over 50%, crit is at 60%, and dps increased over 3 fold; from about 1.5k to 4kish dps. I very often saw 6k dps in ICC with the buffs. Threat, obviously, off the charts. Insane. I simply can't be off tank on a single boss fight. I will pull him if I do my full rotation. In VoA and Saurfang where you're bouncing him back and forth, I have to back off so the other tank keeps him. It took getting a few 10 stacks from Festergut to teach me to swallow pride and do what the raid needs.
Anyway, now I have the easiest job in the raid - main tank. (well except nobody's raiding nowadays) By far easier than trying to find a damn spore, or kiting Saurfang's minion things, or getting out of Marrowgar's way. (Heh, when I became a real bear, I began chasing Marrowgar during bone storms. It's what a bear would do. rah.) Also, I didn't have the trouble other tanks had in this latest patch. I can't spam swipe anymore, I have to time it well. Otherwise, not much change for me, except even more health. Heh.
I balanced my character in tune with the way the devs balanced the game. To your point, I also used the gems they intended. I became much more powerful in doing so. That's a bear's perspective, I never played another tank.
That's what I did with my pally for Heroics too. Keeping agro was impossible in PuGs and Mages and Locks doing so much burst. So I dumped all my tank gear, grabbed a Wrathful 1 hander and a shield and threw on my Ret gear.
I only have 38k HP unbuffed now but everything is a lot smoother as healers have no problem keeping me up and the DPS aren't having to stand around doing nothing to keep from pulling agro. At 85 and in raids it'd be different, but it works well at 80 for JP farming.

Everything from picking up the uhaul to returning it was very pleasant.
The gentleman was very professional and explained what equipment my helpers will use.
Truck was new and run perfectly.
I recommend this location.
The contract said to return the truck by 3 pm Sunday but the location closed early Saturday and was closed on Sunday. The gas tank reading was correct but the owner changed it to an incorrect amount he also parked the truck in a no parking area so before I even drove the truck there was a ticket for 115 dollars.

Provence Afternoon Half-Day Trip from Avignon
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Provence Afternoon Half-Day Trip from Avignon. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.

Amazing sites with an excellent guide
Well worthwhile tour
good viewing and nice guide!
We were looking to see several hilltop villages in the Avignon area and decided on this tour. We took the tour that took us to Roussillion, Gordes, Les Baux de Provence and the Pont du Gard. As usual with these types of trips, there is never enough time at any one place. But, the great advantage is that one gets to see many places without trying to navigate back roads by yourself. We were able to see these 3 amazing villages and spectacular bridge in the space of one afternoon. These places are located to the east, south and west of Avignon but we did not feel that we were in the vehicle very long between stops and the tour was well paced. Our tour guide was fabulous as she identified a number of points of interest along our journey. Pick up and drop off were at locations close and convenient to our hotel. We certainly felt it was a good investment of our time. We also felt that the cost was very reasonable considering what it would have cost to rent a car for a day plus the added cost of petrol and mileage charges (let alone the driving and navigating). If you are interested in seeing a number of locations in a short period of time, we would highly recommend this tour.
Frank D
The guide was very knowledgeable, and helpful. would use your services again.
Excellent trip, very informative
Had a great trip, our guide very knowlegeable. Picked up on time, we visited 3 villages and the bridge and had 40 minutes at each stop. I would use them again as very efficient.
A day that could have been a disaster turned out OK. I had booked an afternoon tour of Provence that started in Avignon. I knew if i took the 10h14 train from Montpellier,where i was spending the month of July, I'd arrive in plenty of time for the 13h pickup. Turned out there was a bit of malveillance (lit: malevolence) on the train route and the 10h14 train was cancelled. I called Viator just to let them know that I wouldn't be there and, as i expected, they said they couldn't refund my money as it was a same-day cancellation but suggested i find out if the railway was providing an alternate (e.g., bus) transport to Avignon.Ii went back to the train station where I found out the 12h14 train to Avignon was on the schedule but it wouldn't arrive until 20 minutes after the 13h00 pickup time for the tour. Another call to Viator and, after a short time on hold, they offered to re-book me on another tour with a 14h00 pickup time. a shorter tour, which undoubtedly cost less money, but i was very pleased with some pretty excellent customer service.Tthey didn't have to do that and I didn't even have to ask for it.
The later tour didn't stop in Roussillon or Gordes, but included les Baux and Pont du Gard. The guide was very well-informed and spoke excellent English. I would highly recommend either tour. (I've been on the earlier one in previous years.)
I don't generally like tour groups. However, I would have gladly taken this tour again the next day too! Virginia, our tour guide, was unbelievably wonderful. She absolutely made our time with her the best part of our stay in Provence. The sites were lovely and she got us to and from safely and efficiently. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very passionate and knowledgable about the 3 villages we visited in the afternoon. She went out of her way to make sure we saw the main sites on our tour and dropped us back to our desired locations on time. A tour not to be missed. The tour guide Caroline was excellent.
Solene was our driver and she was fantastic. Friendly, funny, knowledgable. I felt completely safe with her driving. All 3 villages and the Pont du Gard were amazing. Better than I expected!
Had a wonderful tour. The tour guide Marion was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great tour of the villages around Provence and the pont du garde. We would recommend your company to our friends.
The quality of the sights we visited the time provided at each place visited and the courteous knowledgeable driver made our afternoon even better than we'd hoped. We would highly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour in a new, comfortable vehicle with a highly knowledgeable French driver whose English was first-class. His ability to drive safely while answering a wide variety of questions from his 4 passengers should be commended.
There was a lot packed into a half day on this tour but it was wonderful. I highly recommend the Roussignol and Gordes add-on. The small number of people in the mini-van is much better than a bus tour and the van can go places that are impossible in a bus. Highly recommended.
We covered a lot of ground and got to see four major highlights in 6-7 hours under the tutelage of a well-informed and friendly guide. This small-format trip by van allowed for pleasant interactions with our fellow passengers and significant conversation with our guide. Although each stop was only 45 minutes or so, we were able to explore freely. I recommend this tour highly and without reservation.

He asked the bird to stay, if just for a moment, stay. "But I'm a bird," she said laughing mirthlessly, "that's the one thing I can't do"
Posts tagged that day.
her story? he never even caught her name. (a series)
Some nights he could still smell the campfire in his hair, and for a moment it was enough, it was enough…
"like sinking your hand in a bucket of ash." "like swallowing air"
"yes," the boy would say "that was what it felt like."
it turned out loving her was the lightest thing in the world, it was the losing her that he couldn't lift.
that day | a series
She stood there waiting, looking up, and hating the hell out of herself for it. The boy hadn't chased her for years and she guessed that was because he never had to. You see she had always come back, but on that day the girl turned slowly on her heels relishing that for once she wouldn't be waiting, wouldn't be the fool.
so there she was, descending into a city she loved away from the man she thought she always would. it's funny really, the carelessness of desire, it's ability to erase our most basic promises. but nevermind the past, on that day her seat-back was up, her eyes bright and the girl was falling falling 15,000 more feet into a new life.
"This cold is breaking us apart" the girl whispered just loud enough to see her words form into a cloud and float slowly across that frozen lake to ruffle the boy's two month old haircut.
"then what did he say?" they asked the girl.
"i don't know, he never came back"
The girl rested her forehead on the cool plexiglass of the airplane's window. Her delicate breath turning the circle of fog into a heartbeat, growing and shrinking with each sigh. She had come west to fill the emptiness in her with quiet mountains and the boy's promises, but the mountains ended up being a desert and the boy a liar, and so here she was again, looking out a window at the world and wondering where she would fit in.
A long retired nile file, small felt bunny, 16 movie tickets and a regrettable tatto, the girl had always saved things from their time together. She told the boy she liked physical manifestions of their past happiness, they reminded her it was real. Now, on that first cold night in December the girl smiled, thinking how she had replaced a trunk full of him with one little bus ticket away.
For the first time ever, the girl didn't (or wouldn't?) recognize the boy. The forehead she had kissed, the cowlick he was always trying to hide, his smoke-blurred eyes and quiet stare had become uncomfortably foreign in the back of a rain-streaked cab. He had been a brief crack of light under the door of an otherwise dark existence, disintegrating her sadness into neat happy piles. But on that day and in that cab she looked at the boy's face and felt the sad pieces of her congealing again, and she knew finally, predicability the light was gone and soon he would be as well.
They told her it would take some getting used to, that she would learn to love the things that hurt her, but the truth was she already loved the thing that hurt her and he wasn't picking up the phone.
"What do you remember most about her?" they asked him.
"I remember almost everything," he sighed, "What I can't seem to forget is she had café au lait eyes"
She told him she'd do it. Wrote it on mirrors and left crumbled notes in his glove compartment. The boy would laugh his smug laugh almost crying, "no, no, you can't, you won't" and she whisper softer, always softer, "i will, i will, i will…"
She was always doing things like that. Her coy smile telegraphing the inevitable acceleration of her size sixes. The boy had chased her up stairs and down, across streets and through busy restaurants just to catch her smiling and breathing heavy. He would lie saying, one day he might decide to stop chasing her. The truth is he never did and on that day, bounding up the escalator he prayed she'd be there again (she wouldn't) but he hoped, he hoped…

The cover is a signed Zolnerowich image reprinted from the cover of Jungle Comics #18 with Kaänga's head redrawn by Moreira and Zolne's signature removed.
The story title is taken from the cover blurb. Traditionally these inks have been credited to Moreira, but according to Robert Barrett, Reed Crandall indicated to him that these were his own inks. This fact gives added depth to the talent that was Reed Crandall.

At 1:30 in the afternoon a fire-alarm pull station was activated on the 53rd floor of one of the towers at Petro-Canada Centre, a property that is among Canada's largest commercial high-rise complexes. Five minutes later, as fire crews from the Calgary Fire Department headed to the site, the fire alarm system transmitted a message that everyone in the complex should evacuate.
More than 6,000 people immediately began evacuating from the two towers, the food courts, common areas, and five levels of underground parking. Within 50 minutes, most people were out and away from the complex. Responding fire crews helped escort building occupants who needed assistance.
Two hours after the alarm was triggered, everyone was back to work in the complex. This had only been a drill, conducted late last year to simulate a worst-case scenario; the goal was to train employees while also uncovering any flaws in the evacuation plan.
High-rise building managers are sometimes advised that fire drills need not entail full evacuations, but a complete test of a worst-case scenario is the only real way to ensure that the plan works and that tenants will know what to do in a true disaster, such as occurred on 9-11.
Conducting any evacuation drill requires considerable planning. Petro-Canada Centre's evacuation exercise took weeks to devise, for example.
There are a number of considerations that must be taken into account when creating an evacuation plan, including the local rules pertaining to fire and evacuation drills, the need to coordinate with emergency services, the type of building being evacuated, and the buy-in of occupants. Security must also make sure that it has a good plan, with all the components addressed, that is ready to be tested in a drill. These include the establishment of roles and responsibilities and other key components, such as communications and evacuation points. Next, for the drill to be worthwhile, people must be properly trained. Lastly, it's critical to conduct an assessment after the drill.
See all the latest links and resources that supplement the current issue of Security Management magazine.

jump to the recipes
Fritters are small, sweet or savory cakes or balls that are dipped in a batter, deep fried until golden brown and heated through, and then served hot. Alternately, the ingredients can be mixed into a thick batter that is scooped up and dropped by spoonfuls into hot oil to cook. They can also be cooked on a hot griddle instead of deep-fried in oil.
Savory fritters, like crab or corn, are typically served as an appetizer or accompaniment to a meal. Depending on the ingredients, they may be served with a sauce or gravy.
Sweet fritters, like apple or banana, are eaten as a dessert or breakfast item and are often dusted with or rolled in powdered sugar before serving. They can also be served with a sauce, or drizzled with a sugar glaze.
Meats, fish or seafood, vegetables and fruits are all commonly found in fritter recipes.

False Dmitriy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
False Dmitriy (Russian: Лжедмитрий, Lžedmitrij) is a term that refers to the pretenders to the Russian throne during the Time of Troubles who claimed to be Tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich of Russia, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, after the real Dmitriy's death at the age of eight. These impostors claimed to have miraculously escaped the assassination attempt that appeared to have claimed Dmitriy's life. There were several people who claimed to be Dmitriy; the most prominent were the following three:
- False Dmitriy I, who actually became Tsar of Russia and reigned from 1605 to 1606
- False Dmitriy II
- False Dmitriy III

Litigation and Communicable Disease
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 01-05-2009 - 11:46am
I've been reading some rather disturbing comments on a listserv lately, and I am curious... How many of you in favor of cumpulsory vaccination feel that if your child was exposed to a vaccine available disease, and contracted it, and it was determined that your child was in contact with an unvaccinated person (adult or child), you would assume it was their fault (due to vax status) and sue them?
|Mon, 01-05-2009 - 12:43pm
|Mon, 01-05-2009 - 2:55pm
Are we assuming that the unvaxed child or adult had this communicable disease and passed it or someone is just ASSuming since this person is unvaxed its their fault?
|Mon, 01-05-2009 - 9:21pm
|Tue, 01-06-2009 - 10:58pm
|Wed, 01-07-2009 - 7:47am
Pertussis is a bad example. Lots of vaccinated adults and even some vaccinated children get pertussis. Sometimes they are misdiagnosed on the assumption that it can't be pertussis because of the vax. This means they can go around spreading it for quite a while.
Also, the vaccine doesn't prevent carriage of pertussis, so even people who aren't ill could still be carrying the bug and sharing it.
Mumps...no vaccinated people get that one. Measles might work fairly well. That vaccine is fairly effective.
|Wed, 01-07-2009 - 10:44am
"Also, the vaccine doesn't prevent carriage of pertussis, so even people who aren't ill could still be carrying the bug and sharing it."
I was reading a parenting magazine we got in the mail the other day and it had a two page spread for Adacel? (the adult pertussis vaccine) The ad actually had this point right on it - the vaccine does NOT prevent carriage of pertussis.
WHoops... edited to add the NOT.

Ohio right-wing radio host Bill Cunningham is taking a surprising stance on GOP Gov. John Kasich's (R) anti-workers' rights law, Senate Bill 5, which will face a referendum come Nov. 8. Cunningham, a Rush Limbaugh disciple, recently recorded a message blasting the "rock-red Republican conservative" Kasich for failing to meet with the labor unions over the elimination of their collective bargaining rights, saying "he was wrong." "From my perspective, those affected by governmental decisions need to have a place at the bargaining table to determine the outcome of what's being discussed," he said. "The best Americans I know are cops, firefighters, and teachers. They're reasonable and they're good people," he added, urging Ohioans to vote no on Issue 2 (which would repeal the law). Watch it:

Best Cosmetic Physician in SF - San Francisco, CA
Not only was I a patient of Dr. Echavez, but I was also his medical esthetician for a brief period. I can honestly say that, as a 51yr old woman who has had many employers, Dr.Echavez was probably the only "boss" I had that treated me like his equal. Unlike others in his position, he never spoke down to me, but always treated me with kindness and dignity. He was my favorite employer of all time. I was also a Botox patient of his, and to this day, not one has been able to give me that "brow lift" like he did! I no longer live in SF, so I have been trying various other doctors/clinics since. I cab sincerely say that he is worth every penny!

Coffee Cup of the Day: The Onion Travel Mug
Do you use a travel mug for your coffee? For a long time we had a very systematic setup: coffee pot, favorite travel mug, out the door to work. Our favorite travel mugs are dripless and handle-free, like this one.
As The Onion says about their signature travel mug - now you can combine your love of hot liquids with your passion for commuting. Onion Travel Mug, $11.99
We can't guarantee that it's dripless but we like the acrylic sleeve and stainless steel design. Just right for juggling in the morning with your keys, bag, and your lunch.
4 Comments
Is it dishwasher safe? (Their website doesn't say.)
It looks exactly like the branded mug my company keeps giving me as a present. Considering how badly the mug leaked after I shoved it in the dishwasher, I'm going to guess No on this one. Condensation likes to get inbetween the stainless steel and the acrylic.
I like a tall, skinny travel mug, without a handle because it'll fit in the water bottle cage on my bike. I don't really drink coffee on the way- my bike commute is only two miles, but I like to have it for the time I'm waiting for the manager to come and unlock the doors.
My favorite mug right now is stainless steel double walls, with a red painted outside. I don't worry if its dishwasher safe or not, because my dishwasher isn't so great. If you rely on it to wash tea or coffee mugs, it doesn't work well. You start getting a brown build up that has to be scrubbed off with baking soda. Best to just wash them in the sink and do it right the first time.
In my experience, these insulated mugs do not do well in the d/w, like verily said.
I accumulated I-don't-know-how-many Westlaw mugs in law school and one by one, have had to throw them out. 2.5 yrs after graduation, I am down to just one, leaky straggler. Still, thanks WL! You always had better promo crap, even if I use Lexis now.
