Mon Aug 1 2005Settlers Removed From Gaza
Mon Aug 1 2005Gaza
8/24/2005: Israel and Egypt have finalised a deal under which Egyptian border guards will patrol the southern Gaza border. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says the Israeli army is expected to leave the Gaza Strip by 4 October at the latest, with Egypt and Israel agreeing to have Egyptian soldiers control an Egypt-Gaza border area.
8/23/2005: Israeli troops have completed the evacuation of all settlers from the Gaza Strip and some settlers in the Northern West Bank. Read More
8/22/2005:"With virtually all Jewish settlers evacuated Monday from the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces began moving early today on two West Bank settlements where commanders fear there will be violent confrontations with anti-withdrawal activists."

8/14/2005: Israeli and Palestinian forces have deployed to ensure calm in the final countdown to Israel's evacuation of Jewish settlements in the occupied Gaza Strip. Thousands of Israeli police blocked approaches to Gaza to keep back Jewish protesters sworn to stopping the first removal of settlements this week from land Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war.

8/11/2005: Palestinian security forces are gearing up to deploy 5,000 troops around settlements in the Gaza Strip as Israel intensified preparations just days before the historic pullout is to begin. Read More | Gaza boats mass to mark pullout
8/1/2005: On August 15th, Israel will start removing settlers from the Gaza Strip. "After 38 years of ugly occupation, they are leaving and they will never come back," Qureia said to the some 10,000 Palestinians gathered at a mass rally in the Parliament building in Gaza City in celebration Israel's upcoming withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. While this is often presented as a complete Israeli withdraw, the Palestinians in Gaza will likely still be under indirect Israeli rule with no control over their own borders. Some Palestinians see the "withdraw" as merely a smokescreen that is being used to prevent the world from questioning the expansion of settlements in the West Bank and the wall Israel is building within the 1948 borders, dividing Palestinian communities and likely resulting in expulsions.
Israel government officials predict that half the Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip will likely refuse to relocate to Israel on time and will be removed by force. Some settlers have said they will try to give up Israeli citizenship and become Palestinian citizens so they can stay; Palestinian leaders said they would accept the change in citizenship but would still demand that the land the settlements are on be returned to the Palestinian people.
The Gaza Strip's borders were originally defined by the armistice lines between Egypt and Israel after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, which followed the dissolution of the British mandate of Palestine. First controlled by Egyptian military, the Gaza Strip was later captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. Currently, around 1.37 million Palestinians and about 8,000 Israelis live in the Gaza Strip. The majority of these Palestinians are direct descendants of refugees who fled or were expelled from Israel in 1948 and most Jewish settlers in the Gaza Strip are Israeli citizens who moved into 21 guarded Israeli settlements after the 1967 Six-Day War.
Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon first announced a pullout of settlers from Gaza in 2004. On May 2nd of that year, Sharon's Likud party held a referendum and 65% of the voters voted against the idea. On June 6, 2004, Sharon's government approved an amended disengagement plan resulting in several resignations from his government. This left the Likud Party with a minority in the Israeli Parliament and forced a coalition government between Likud and Labour in January 2005. On February 16, 2005, the Knesset finalized and approved the plan with 59 in favor, 40 opposed, and 5 abstaining. A proposed amendment to submit the plan to a referendum was rejected (29-72). On March 17, 2005, the IDF Southern Command issued a military order prohibiting Israeli citizens who do not reside in the Gaza Strip settlements from relocating to that area. On May 9, 2005, the beginning of the evacuation of settlements was officially pushed back from July 20 to August 15 Read More.

Product Description
From Amazon
The latest tentacle of John Gray's formidable Mars and Venus octopus deals with a topic near to the heart of almost everybody--dating. With a lot of insight and common sense, Gray tackles the hard and often messy business of finding "a soul mate." Without fear or favor, Mars and Venus on a Date dissects the dynamics between men and women and the five stages each relationship must pass through: attraction, uncertainty, exclusivity, intimacy, and, finally, engagement (for marriage, of course). Even though Mars and Venus on a Date isn't The Rules by a long shot, the courtship it describes is surprisingly old-fashioned. It's chock-full of things your mother might say: "Most people find or are found by their soul mates when they are not really looking." "The man should never talk more than the woman." But how to know if the person you're with is your "soul mate?" Gray writes, "When our soul wants to marry our partner, it feels like a promise that we came into this world to keep." Which translates into, "When you know, you know." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The basic idea of the book is that there are five stages to the dating process:
1. Attraction
2. Uncertainty
3. Exclusivity
4. Intimacy
5. Engagement
The rest of the book is a collection of insights on how to make relationships successful or how to recognize when it is time to end a relationship.
My Comments:
First, I must admit that being involved in a traditional relationship (I am a married heterosexual) the insights in the book seemed fairly relevant and well designed. But, this is also one of the problems I see with the book. The book is designed exclusively for traditional, heterosexual relationships. If you are not a man or a woman looking for someone of the opposite sex to marry, then this isn't the book for you. The ultimate goal, as defined in the book, is marriage. If you are not looking to get married, then this isn't the book for you.
The book is written from a very traditional perspective. With the increase in non-traditional relationships (homosexuality, bisexuality, cohabitation, etc.) this book could alienate a lot of people. Also, there are continual references to God throughout the book. These references often coincide with a concept the author calls 'soul mates'. There is a trend in American society away from the traditional view of God, specifically seeing God as an active force in people's lives. As a result, this book could also alienate those people that don't believe in God or don't feel that God is active in their lives. And the idea of soul mates (as Dr.Read more ›
He gives gender-specific advice. He says that the man's role in dating is to make the woman happy, and that the woman's role is to acknowledge that the man is making her happy. He says that women shouldn't pursue men; he doesn't give a reason, which is a shame, because a rule like that is a constraint on a process which is already hard. He says that men should apologise more and should make a point of calling back; politeness is a good thing, although I've not found it a gender issue.
I disagreed with most things in this book. What bothers me is that John is a relationship expert while I am anything but, and that a lot of people have found this book useful. Maybe I am missing something. Maybe it's a cultural thing. It may well be that I'm delusional and the world really is as John describes it; although if it is, I don't think I'll be doing any dating - it doesn't sound much fun!
Most of the suggestions are so preposterous that I could read them verbatim at Open Mike Night at a comedy club and bring the house down. Some gems with my comments in brackets:
"If you're a woman in a restaurant, go to the rest room repeatedly so you can catch the eye of men." [And hope that a convention of urologists is in town?]
"If you wear a uniform, wear it when you're off duty because people will approach someone in a uniform." [I'm sure the meter reader from the local utility company is besieged with offers in between houses.]
"If you don't attend a church or synagogue, go to the one where there are the most eligible people." [Hey, who's got the best babes, the synagogue or the Episcopalian church?]
"If you don't like a museum, go to one and ask an art lover questions." [Allow me to display my total ignorance and annoy you. Two surefire ways to get you to spend the rest of your life with me.]
Finally my favorite of the list I've read so far:
"If you go to a bar and drink alcohol, go to a place where they don't serve alcohol. Your soulmate might not drink." [As opposed to 'If you don't do crack, go to a crackhouse because your soulmate might be a crackhead.']
I wish I were making these up, but I'm simply not that clever.
But then the author began giving unbalanced treatment, primarily telling women how they ought to behave and what they ought to say. The message was that a man has a large and fragile ego, and that a woman should support his ego. She should never disagree with him, except "playfully". In public, she should paint him as a white knight, regardless of what really happened.
Perhaps it was just the author's writing style, but most of his examples, supposedly of real couples he'd observed or counseled, seemed made-up.
Finally, at the end of the book, the author insults the reader's intelligence with an idiotic, redundant, and unnecessary list of 101 places to look for a mate. Very patronizing.

Everybody and their neighbor seems to have come down with a raging case of football fever around here lately. No wonder: Both Mississippi State and Ole Miss kick off their seasons Saturday, the Bulldogs on the road in Hattiesburg, the Rebels at home.
There are two types of salad: tossed and composed.
During my freshman year at the University of Vermont, I became a pro at apple picking, and at cooking up all those apples I picked.
With autumn winking at me from the horizon, Labor Day grilling takes on a whole new significance.
Want to build a better salad? Think thin.
Rebecca Hester may be fairly new to the Golden Triangle, but she's an experienced hand at coming up with simple solutions when dessert is called for.
Sometimes we think too hard about the food we toss on the grill. Brine this, rub that, marinate for 12 days. Enough!
I get that people are nervous about turkey burgers being dry and flavorless, but that really isn't necessary.
Usually, there are two big problems with stuffed peppers: the peppers and the stuffing. Bland, bland, bland.
Corn on the cob is a quintessential cookout companion. Stovetop, oven-roasted, open fire or grilled, this hand-held staple will be part of many an upcoming Labor Day celebration.
This is one of those recipes that feels a little trashy, but it's so good you won't care.
If you are anything like me, you look forward to summer peaches all year.
Plums, peaches, nectarines and cherries all grow on just one of Sam Van Aken's fruit trees. The trees blossom in a riot of red, white and pink each spring.
Stores are not stocking up on greeting cards, and I've yet to hear of an employer doling out a day off, but Aug. 19 is National Potato Day.
When I was in college in Raleigh, North Carolina, my roommate, Betsy, was from Chapel Hill, some 20 miles away.
Charles Scott is shopping for groceries at a Philadelphia food pantry, busily clicking away at a computer to select his choices of onions, tomatoes and frozen corn.
If you've been out to eat at any trendy restaurant during the past five years or have watched any food competition show, you probably have heard of umami.
Back-to-school fever reaches a high pitch this week. Minds will turn (yes, some reluctantly) from swimming to sums, from camps to compositions.
Growing up in North Carolina where seafood is plentiful, I tended to take shrimp in summer for granted.

"Green creates emotionally nuanced characters, first setting the scene from Andi's view, then shifting to Emily's first-person perspective. Green creates sympathy for Emily, by giving her hurt and insecurity an authentic teenage voice. While the character details of Green's family drama are unique, the emotions ring true and universal." ―The New Jersey Star-Ledger
"Jane Green surpasses herself in her latest novel, a powerful and moving story of a family on the edge of emotional wreckage, and how love truly can--when combined with strength, patience and a little bit of grace--conquer all. I flew through it, unable to sleep until I knew how it turned out. That's how much she made me care." ―Dani Shapiro, bestselling author of Devotion
"Jane Green writes of true love, instant families and the heartache of happily ever after with skill, grace and wisdom. You will laugh and cry as you read Andi's story, and you'll be inspired to pick up the phone and call your best friend to read a scene aloud. It's that good. It's that riveting. It's essential reading for the modern woman looking for connection and escape." ―Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Lucia, Lucia and the Valentine Series
"Another Piece of My Heart is an ambitious, at times devastating, and always wise novel that conveys the endless ways in which family both destroys us and saves us, very often at the same time." ―Jonathan Tropper, bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

I have read at least one book by Jane Green (over ten years ago) and I remember enjoying her writing style. Another Piece of my Heart showcases the intricacies of step-family relationships and I thought that the premise was interesting but unfortunately the execution was quite weak.
As lovers of audiobooks, we know that the narrator can make or break our enjoyment of a book. This book was read by the author who is British and while I love to listen to a British accent I have to admit that her accent threw me several times since the characters are all from California. My mind kept placing the characters on the west coast of England, not California and that really distracted me in the beginning.
Unfortunately I also felt that the characters were underdeveloped and felt very clichéd -- the step-mom trying to fit in, the sullen, rude and obstinate teenage daughter who hates her father's new wife, the perfect younger sister ... At first I found the issues between Emily and Andi interesting and complex but their issues soon felt very repetitive as they kept having the same arguments over and over again with no resolution in sight.Read more ›
Andi has moved from the east coast to the west coast and her home staging business has flourished. Now using match.com, Andi has met her perfect man, Ethan and he comes with two young daughters, the ready made family she longs for and hopes a baby of their own will complete the family.
When early onset menopause puts an end to baby dreams and Ethan refuses to consider adoption now that his two girls are in their teens, Andi begins to wonder if this life with its constant Emily dramas is really what she wants.
Jane Green's handling of the dynamics of the coming together of a couple, of a family, and in each person facing their own issues is an absorbing drama that makes this an interesting book to read.

This is an extremely easy book to read. I read most of it in one day. It hums along, without any real twists or tension, but not entirely predictably either. The main problem that I had with it was that I never cared about any of the characters. Ethan, Andi and Emily are all pretty flawed and not terribly likeable. Nor did I believe for one moment in any of Andi's friends - they didn't feel like real people. But having said that, it's still an enjoyable read and I still found myself caught up in it. It's the kind of book that you want to read on holiday, when you don't want to have to think too much about what you're reading, just have it go down nice and easy. I liked it.
This book has been published in the US under the title Another Piece of My Heart.
That's pretty much how I feel after reading this novel. It's not deep meaningful fiction; I don't think anyone is going to choose this for their next book club meeting. But sometimes you just need someone to tell you a story about someone ELSE's problems and victories, and Another Piece of My Heart is a perfect example.
Our basic setup: Andi married in her late 30s, and feels she's found the perfect man. Ethan is warm and understanding, and Andi's happy to have a ready-made family, with Ethan's two teenage daughters from an earlier marriage. All she needs to feel fulfilled is a baby of her own. Only she has friction with the older daughter, and self-doubts. And that's just where we start...
This book is all about the characters and their relationships and their journeys. Andi is our main character but we also see into the worlds of the step-daughter Emily and several other key people.
I have oddly mixed feelings about the result. On the one hand, this novel is so very much a chick lit *fantasy*. When people get angry, they remain articulate. When they have a life-changing moment, they rarely waver. Ethan is a sensitive new age guy, the one that most women imagine to be perfect (he probably picks up his own socks, too), except for his understandable weakness for his older daughter. And he isn't very realistic. Most guys just aren't going to say, "I love you. I hate these fights, these moments that happen when we disconnect from each other so completely, but that isn't what defines our relationship." I don't think they talk that way during a marital argument even in California.
And yet... I couldn't put the book down. I ate the whole box of cheap chocolates at one sitting. Despite the fact that the prose is sometimes overworked sentimentality, the characters do come alive. I cared what happened to them. I don't really _believe_ them, but I wanted to. And I think you will, too.
If you're ready for a good wallow in a hot tub with bubble bath... this is the book you want beside you.
Second, the book itself was interesting, but at the end, I really didn't like any of the characters.
What did I like to give it 3 stars?
The author created real-life situations. I'm so used to reading romance and fantasy, with their black and white storylines, this was a nice change for me. Life didn't become perfect overnight, it took years of pain and struggles to reach that point and the book took you through all of the pain.
The main focus of the book was on a self absorbed stepdaughter who was experiencing immense pain over the indifference of her alcoholic mother. Only after 10 years of drama, do things get better. Wow, I'm worn out just thinking about it again.

The beautiful sweet potato plants we planted in June actually made it through the summer and are ready for harvest! We will dig up the sweet potatoes and donate them to Harvesters for distribution to local kitchens and food pantries. Bring a spading fork to dig potatoes if you happen to have one. No gardening experience necessary!
The 2012 Kansas City Sweet Potato Project is a collaborative partnership of Food Not Lawns Kansas City, Society of St Andrew West, Troost Village Community Association and Squash Blossom Food Cooperative. This year's goal is to grow 10,000 lb of sweet potatoes for Harvesters. For more information on Kansas City Sweet Potato Project and other ways to get involved, check out the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/KCSweetPotatoProject.
I am sorry to say I will no longer be able to attend the harvest on Sunday, but Selena has graciously stepped up to be our fearless leader! I am still available for questions and please still let me know if you can bring any tools or a vehicle to help move potatoes or vines. Happy digging!

Greetings Sweet Potato Harvesters!
This is shaping up to a be a great event for a beautiful fall day. Please note the time change. We will start harvesting at 10:00 AM. If you can't make it till 11:00, not a problem, just join us when you can. We will meet at the corner of 9th and Oak.
We are looking for tools to help with the harvest:
"diggers" or spading forks, they look like short, broad tine pitch forks, these will be our main harvesting tool so we need as many as we can!
Pruning sheers
bushel baskets, laundry baskets, 5 gal buckets, etc. for removing the vines from the area
We are also looking for trucks or large vehicles to move the vines to a compost area a few miles away as well as moving the potatoes to a curing location at 31st and Troost.
Please let me know if you will be able to bring any of the above tools or have a vehicle that could transport.
Thank you for being a part of the Kansas City Sweet Potato Project!

Brooklyn East Collegiate Charter School (BEC) opened in August 2010 to 81 students in grade 5 and has grown one grade per year. BEC now serves grades 5-8. Brooklyn East Collegiate 8th graders are guaranteed a seat at Uncommon Preparatory Charter High School for the 2016-2017 school year
At Brooklyn East Collegiate Charter School, we do not believe that there is a single solution that makes a school work. We work hard and use common sense because elevating student achievement and transforming lives requires constant attention to hundreds of different elements — not one, magical 100% solution but rather one hundred, individual 1% solutions.
