Happy last day of MoFo! I haven't quite been keeping to my proposed theme and daily posting as much as I intended, but I like to think that posting elsewhere (and co- planning a vegan bloggers conference, zomg!!!) has helped make up for it a tiny bit. That, and getting wrapped up on the MoFo reader for hours at a time on a regular basis – but, who hasn't? It's the weather for lengthy simmering on the stove, and I've done so recently with mulled pear apple cider, French Moroccan lentil soup, and creamy tomato vodka sauce.
The recipe for Penne alla Vodka comes from Veganomicon, and I served it over spaghetti one night with beanballs, and with the traditional penne, and balsamic braised greens on another. I'm newly allergic to almonds, so I subbed raw cashews and the result seemed even creamier than I remembered.
For the love of appropriately early Sunday night Italian dinners: Whole Wheat Spaghetti alla Vodka with baked Roasted Garlic & White Bean Balls (modified from the chickpea cutlet recipe).
Balsamic Braised Greens:

Cheers! With a Citrus & Jalapeño-infused vodka cocktail:

Its misguided editorial on its parent companys massive problems in the United Kingdom. Mon. July 18, 2011
By Rem Rieder Rem Rieder (email@example.com) is AJR's editor and senior vice president.
The Wall Street Journal, stung by the ouster of its publisher last Friday in the fallout from the massive scandal that has engulfed its fellow Murdoch properties in Britain, has come out swinging wildly at the company's critics.
In time-honored tradition, it has resorted to the ever-popular blame-the-messenger defense.
"We also trust that readers can see through the commercial and ideological motives of our competitor-critics," the editorial says. "The Schadenfreude is so thick you can't cut it with a chainsaw. Especially redolent are lectures about journalistic standards from publications that give Julian Assange and WikiLeaks their moral imprimatur. They want their readers to believe, based on no evidence, that the tabloid excesses of one publication somehow tarnish thousands of other News Corp. journalists across the world."
The WikiLeaks reference is an effort to cast aspersions on the Guardian, the British newspaper that has led the way in coverage of the phone-hacking and bribery scandal, and the New York Times, which ran a major piece on the then-dormant affair last year, before it exploded into the headlines this month with revelations of the hacking of the phone of a missing 13-year-old girl.
Yes, the Guardian competes with Rupert Murdoch's British papers, and the Times competes with the Journal as well as News Corp.'s New York Post. But both would be derelict in their duties if they didn't cover the hell out of this story.
Because this isn't just about massive journalistic malfeasance (in and of itself a major deal). It's also a story about the insidious collusion of the Murdoch press empire, the British political power structure and law enforcement authorities.
Already it has led to the resignation of Scotland Yard's two top officials. The situation is so dire that Prime Minister David Cameron, until five minutes ago a great friend of Murdoch and his former lieutenant Rebekah Brooks, has asked Parliament to postpone its summer vacation so he can address the burgeoning scandal on Wednesday.
This editorial strikes just the wrong tone at just the wrong time.
When Murdoch acquired the Journal in 2007, there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the part of many people who are not enamored with Murdoch's brand of journalism. They feared what would happen to one of America's finest newspapers.
The Journal no doubt has changed. It is much less distinctive, with less emphasis on the quirky page-one features that helped make it special. It devotes much more attention to political coverage, and some have seen a decline in the comprehensiveness of its business coverage.
But the Visigoths seem to have stopped well short of burning the village. Few would argue that Murdoch has wrecked the Journal. It is still a top-flight newspaper.
Jim Ottaway, whose family owned a chunk of the Journal, was an outspoken critic of selling the paper to Murdoch. Yet in an interview with Bloomberg TV not long before the scandal exploded, Ottaway said, "I have to say that many of the things I said and feared Rupert Murdoch would do he has not." Ottaway said the Journal under Murdoch "is nowhere near as awful as I thought it might be."
That's why the Journal editorial is so disappointing. With the parent company under siege, for good reason, this was the time for a clear-sighted look at the situation, a moment to exhibit independence. Instead what we got was a PR man's spin, a defense lawyer's brief.
Particularly disingenuous is the editorial's effort to play down the scope and seriousness of the scandal. It says, "It is also worth noting the irony of so much moral outrage devoted to a single media company, when British tabloids have been known for decades for buying scoops and digging up dirt on the famous. Fleet Street in general has long had a well-earned global reputation for the blind-quote, single-sourced story that may or may not be true."
This is accurate but utterly beside the point. The current contretemps isn't about paying for information or thinly sourced stories. It's about hacking into the phones of 4,000 people and paying law enforcement officials for information. That's in an entirely different cosmos of bad behavior. The paragraph brings to mind Nixon spokesman Ron Ziegler's famous dismissal of that Watergate unpleasantness as a "third-rate burglary."
The overheated editorial accuses the Journal's media colleagues of "braying for politicians to take down Mr. Murdoch and News Corp." (You just don't get enough "braying" sightings these days.) It dismisses as a "political mob" those asking whether alleged payments by reporters at the now-shuttered News of the World to obtain police information violated the U.S. Corrupt Foreign Practices Act.
The editorial also takes a shot (without naming them) at a couple of former teammates, ex-Journal Executive Editor Paul Steiger and Richard Tofel, a longtime executive at Dow Jones, the Journal's parent company. Steiger is editor-in-chief and CEO of ProPublica, a highly regarded nonprofit investigative reporting outfit. ProPublica and the Guardian last week co-published an article by Tofel, ProPublica's general manager, in which members of the Bancroft family expressed regret that they had sold the paper to Murdoch. They wouldn't have done so, they said, if they had been aware of the phone-hacking at the News of the World.
The Journal awarded ProPublica a prize for "righteous hindsight" for recording the "well-fed" regrets of the Bancrofts, a dysfunctional ownership that cashed out bigtime with the sale to Murdoch.
We'll score this one for the Journal editorial and against the Bancrofts. The family certainly knew that they weren't selling their cherished paper to Mother Teresa. Essentially, they sold the paper to Rupert Murdoch and were shocked that they had sold the paper to Rupert Murdoch.
The editorial also had it right with this shot at the outraged statesmen in the United Kingdom: "The British politicians now bemoaning media influence over politics are also the same statesmen who have long coveted media support." So true. British politicians of all political flavors have been frantically sucking up to Murdoch and his minions for years.
So what about the schadenfreude allegation? It's true that Murdoch has long been a polarizing figure, with no shortage of nonfans in the media as well as on the political left. And there's little doubt many of them are having a wonderful time watching the hitherto untouchable mogul squirm.
But that, too, is beside the point. This is a very significant story, as the rapidly mounting casualty list in Britain makes clear. To do anything but to cover it as aggressively as possible would be a disgrace.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – As we near the Conference Carolinas Track and Field Championships, the league has awarded their academic all-conference lists. The Tornado had 10 women that made the team and six men for a total of 16 honorees.
On the women's side, Maegan Henry headlined the group of 10 individuals. Henry has set, and broke her own school record in the hammer throw during the outdoor season, most recently with a mark of 44.30 meters at the Liberty College Invitational last weekend. Eliza Parker and Tabby Arwood have also been impressive during the outdoor season, both setting multiple personal records in the distance events for the Tornado.
Alexis Robinson has led the sprinting group this season, and set a personal best in the 100 meters at the first outdoor meet, the Charlotte 49er Classic in March. Others that earned academic all-conference honors during the outdoor season were Carly Griffith, Shelbie Burchfield, Tia Keitt, Emily Davidson, Kendra Sokol and Evan Ferrell.
Throwers Tom Lamkin and Jeremy Stamper headline the men's honorees, both setting personal records in the hammer throw this season. Taylor Dix and Dickson Kurgat represent the distance runners with Dix setting a pair of personal bests so far in the outdoor season.
The 2014 Conference Carolinas Outdoor Track & Field Academic All-Conference representatives have been awarded to junior and senior student-athletes with a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale in all work completed at their member institution that have played in a conference sponsored sport.

What this plus-size model recommends wearing to your holiday party
It's holiday season, and we all know what that means: parties, and lots of 'em. Of course with that fact comes the annual dilemma of what to wear, taking into account both style and occasion — like saving that lace LBD for your friend's weekend get-together, and finding a suitable alternative for your weeknight office soiree.

Skip to comments.Under criticism, GOP puts off its health care bill
Posted on 04/24/2013 2:24:59 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper
An effort by House Republicans to highlight problems with President Barack Obama's health care law by bailing out a program for people with pre-existing medical conditions appeared to backfire Wednesday.
GOP leaders postponed a scheduled vote after the measure met strong opposition from two directions: from conservative groups resistant to any federal role in health care and from Democrats who objected that the Republicans planned to pay for the high-risk patient program by raiding a disease prevention provision the administration says is essential to the overhaul.
The legislation, a departure from the usual GOP efforts to kill the Affordable Health Care Act outright, also faced a White House veto threat.
Erica Elliott, spokeswoman for Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy of California, said in a statement, "We had good conversations with our members and made a lot of solid progress" on the bill. But she said there was "still work to do," and with members leaving for the Bush Presidential Library dedication, "we'll continue the conversations" when the House returns in May after a recess next week.
The GOP bill would provide up to $3.6 billion to shore up the Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan, or PCIP, which is intended to be a stopgap measure for uninsured high-risk patients until the end of this year, when full consumer protections under the health care act go into effect.

They were/are trying to shore up one part of the failing ObamaCare law by taking money from another part of the Obamacare law to pay for it...at least that is how I read the article.
Seems a little weird.
Not one more dime.
It's going to crash without GOP help. Burn, baby, burn.
Yup, let all the "savings" pay for the monster.
Obamacare is brain dead and on life support. The most merciful thing to do now is pull the plug and end it.
". The most merciful thing to do now is pull the plug and end it. "
Yeah, but the GOP is terrified to pull the plug and won't do it.
However, since PPACA is DESIGNED to fail and produce system collapse, the next best thing to "ending it" is just to get out of the way, let it burn, and then crucify those responsible.

Conquistadors with Michael Wood "The Conquest of the Incas" Six years after the fall of Mexico, the conquistador Francisco Pizarro, exploring south of the equator, uncovers another civilization unknown to the European world: the empire of the Incas, which extended 3,000 miles from Ecuador to Chile. Michael Wood recounts Pizarro's daring march into Peru with fewer than 200 men and tells the almost incredible tale of his capture of the Inca Atuahuallpa and his promise to ransom himself with a roomful of gold. Traveling across the Peruvian desert along ancient Inca roads, Wood climbs the Andes with a train of llamas, continues to the ancient city of Cuzco, the Incas' "navel of the earth," where massive Inca buildings still stand, and to the stupendous Sacred Valley ruins, including Macchu Picchu.

Mayor Whitt, Of Welch, In Jail On Charge Of Murder
Town Greatly Stirred by Shooting of William Johnson Tabor.
Numerous Reports As To Cause Are Circulated
Dead Man Who Was Wounded in World War and Received Medal From President Wilson, Was Member of One of Pioneer Families of County.
March 4, 1921
Mayor Whitt, Of Welch, In Jail On Charge Of Murder
Town Greatly Stirred by Shooting of William Johnson Tabor.
Numerous Reports As To Cause Are Circulated
Dead Man Who Was Wounded in World War and Received Medal From President Wilson, Was Member of One of Pioneer Families of County.
William Johnson Tabor, who was shot on the streets of Welch by Mayor J. H. Whitt at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening, died at the Welch hospital at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Mayor Whitt, who was arrested following the shooting Wednesday evening and released on bond, was rearrested yesterday and placed in the McDowell county jail, charged with the murder of Tabor, county traffic officer and deputy sheriff of McDowell county.
The town of Welch has been greatly stirred by the tragedy, and numerous reports have been circulated as to the trouble leading up to the shooting. From reliable sources it is learned that several charges had recently been preferred against Mayor Whitt, and an effort was being made to impeach him. On Wednesday afternoon the council was in session and was hearing some of the accusations which had been made against the mayor. It appears that there were two girls implicated in the charges. While the council was sitting behind closed doors it is alleged Mayor Whitt broke into the meeting by breaking down the door, and demanded to know what was going on. When told of the meeting he is said to have turned over the table around which the councilmen were sitting and then left.
It appears Deputy Sheriff Tabor had taken the girls in a car towards Kimball. En route to Kimball his car was overtaken by Mayor Whitt and the chief of police of Welch, who ordered Tabor to turn the girls over to them. Johnson did so without any argument and returned to Welch, following the machine in which Mayor Whitt, the police chief and the two girls returned to Welch. The machine stopped in front of the mayor's home and he stepped out. Johnson drove his machine just a little ahead of the car and stopped. He walked back, stating, it was said, he wanted to talk to Mayor Whitt. As he approached Whitt, it was said, he was advised not to come any closer. With this Whitt pulled his gun and shot twice. Both shots took effect, one entering the lower part of the leg and the other near the hip. The second shot ranged upward, penetrating some of the vital organs.
Tabor was rushed to the hospital. Sheriff Hatfield soon reached the scene, and excitement ran high throughout the town. At first it was thought Tabor had received only flesh wounds and Mayor Whitt waived preliminary hearing and gave bond for his appearance before Judge Herndon at the next session of the court. After Tabor's death, however, Mayor Whitt was rearrested on the charge of murder and placed in jail. It was reported here late last evening that Judge Herndon was preparing to hear some of the evidence and would determine if he would permit Whitt to give bond.
William Johnson Tabor was aged twenty-eight years. He was born May 28, 1892, at English, and was the son of W. T. and Nannie Johnson Tabor, who removed to Welch one year later. His parents now reside at Lynchburg, Va., having removed there a few years ago. Deputy Sheriff Tabor was more familiarly called "Bill Johnson," and was a grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. Frank Johnson, sr., of Welch, with whom he made his home until their death, and later lived with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Logan.
The Johnson family is one of the most prominent of the pioneer families of McDowell county. The deceased was educated in the Welch public and high schools, and after completing the course there went to Swathmore College and from there, after serving his country in the late war, he entered West Virginia University where he was an attendant up to the holidays of the present year. While at the state university he distinguished himself in athletics, being a star player on both the basketball and football teams. In the last football game of this season, in which he played, his playing gave West Virginia its only point against Princeton.
Mr. Johnson was a veteran of the world war, having volunteered with Company K, second regiment, West Virginia National Guard, on September 14, 1914. He served with that company on the Mexican border with the rank of corporal. Following the declaration of war against Germany he was mustered into the United States army on July 17, 1917, and served with the 150th infantry, thirty-eighth division, at Camp Shelby, Miss. While with this division he was rapidly promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, and with his company sailed overseas October 5, 1918. With this division he fought and was wounded. He received from President Woodrow Wilson the accolade of new chivalry of humanity, which states he served with honors in the World War and was wounded in action. On November 11, 1918, he was transferred to the twenty-ninth division (Blue and Gray). He returned home with this outfit on May 19, 1919, and was immediately discharged from the service on his return to the states.
Mr. Tabor was a member of McDowell Lodge No. 112, A. F. & A. M. of Welch, McDowell County Post No. 8, American Legion, and the Delpha Tau Delpha fraternity of the West Virginia University. At the time of his death he was traffic officer and a deputy sheriff of McDowell county and was assistant to Col. W. J. McClaren in the road department office of McDowell.
The funeral service will be conducted by Rev. L. W. Pierce at the late home in Welch at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, after which interment will be made in the Cartwright cemetery. The services and burial will be in charge of the Masonic lodge and the American Legion.
Popularity of Deceased Shown by Record Crowd in Attendance.
March 11, 1921
Funeral And Burial Of William Johnson Tabor
Popularity of Deceased Shown by Record Crowd in Attendance.
What has been estimated to be the largest crowd ever assembled at a funeral in McDowell county was that gathered Sunday afternoon to pay their last sad rites to William Johnson Tabor. Fully three thousand people participated and from a reliable source we learn that over three hundred automobiles were in Welch and at the cemetery.
Although it was intended that the funeral services were to be held at his late home, it became evident early in the day the crowd was too large for it or any other building in the city, so the services were conducted on the court house lawn and then many of those attending could not get close enough to hear the eulogies of Rev. L. W. Pierce, who had charge. At the conclusion of the ceremony the casket was opened and the file of friends of the deceased who looked for the last time at his lifeless body wore expressions of the deepest sorrow.
The body was then taken in charge by McDowell Lodge, No. 112, A. F. & A. M., and with an escort from the ranks of the American Legion, was conveyed to the Cartwright cemetery, where it was laid to rest. After the Masons had completed their solemn ceremony the American Legion advanced to the grave and after their bugler had blown "taps" the firing squad gave their "salute" by firing thrice over the open grave.
The active pall bearers were: Simon Solins, John B. Barley, W. J. Hatfield, J. H. Mitchell, F. H. Kirchner and B. E. Downs, representing McDowell lodge, and W. E. Eubanks, B. Hampton Gray, Samuel Solins, Paul W. Jones, John W. Blakely and Chester Harman, of the American Legion. The floral bearers were members of the two organizations.
The floral tributes were numerous, they being expressive of the high esteem in which "Bill Johnson" as he was so familiarly known, was held by his numerous friends and associates. To his bereaved parents and family this, no doubt, was a solace as floral offerings reveal that feeling of the donor that words fail to express.

Thought I'd start a new thread to reduce the clutter in the other threads.
I know Dave has had his hands full with packaging the goodness to ship off to everyone. I'm curious as to what the initial Mini Picatinny Rail accessories will be.
Some were mentioned before,if there are others, please list them.
- Tripod screw mount
- Bike handle bar mount
- Pocket clip / hat visor clip?
Another interesting thing I saw was a rotating Picatinny Rail belt clip for weapon lights. Something like this, but of course, the other way around, since the rail is on the light with the 007. Perhaps another carry option for those that don't mind having their precious exposed.

Recently, I wrote a post for my personal blog about the opening of a garment factory in Haiti. The ceremony was attended by, among others, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Sean Penn, Ben Stiller and Haiti's president, Michel Martelly. But I was bothered by the idea of cheap Haitian labor making scores of T-shirts each day that would sell, individually, for more than a worker at the plant earns per day, and that's what I wrote.
The post got a lot of reaction. I heard from politicians, celebrities, a State Department liaison. And guess what? They were not pleased. "I am SO disappointed…" one email message began.
I've been writing about Haiti for a long time, which is why the reaction surprised me. It used to be that you could write about Haiti — and I suspect about almost anywhere in the developing world — without anyone taking much note. For years, I wrote in what seemed like secret. I wrote for the Nation magazine, and no one I knew ever mentioned that they'd seen what I'd written. More surprising, I rarely heard anything — positive or negative — from anyone I had written about. Then, I moved to Time magazine, in those days the most widely read, most mainstream newsweekly in America with a readership in the tens of millions. I felt like I'd made it to the big time, but no one ever seemed to see my writing there either.

No team or individual records count toward Nassau or the state, and the league does not have postseason play. Last year marked the first time a developmental league has existed in Nassau since the six-team Island Conference in 1991. Section VIII football coordinator Pat Pizzarelli said Conferences I, II and III have 12 teams this season, while Conference IV boasts 14.
"It's a two-year experiment," Pizzarelli said of the developmental league. "I've heard mostly positive things, and we'll see what happens next year."
Eight-game schedule continues
Nassau went back to an eight-game regular-season schedule in 2008 after playing only seven games each year from 2003-07. It needed approval from New York State since teams advancing to the county championships play an 11th time. Most games will be played on the traditional Saturdays, beginning Sept. 21. As of this week, BOCES listed a dozen games to be played on a Friday night in 2013.
Conference hoppers
Four teams switched conferences for 2013 based on enrollment figures. South Side moved Conference III to II and will open at home versus Carey. New Hyde Park went from II to III, while North Shore and Carle Place transformed from III to IV. New Hyde Park hosts Bethpage in Week 1, North Shore goes to East Rockaway, and Carle Place hosts Malverne.
Rivalries renewed
There is no shortage of rivalry games this year. Each of the Bellmore-Merrick schools (Calhoun, Kennedy and Mepham) will battle one another in Conference II. Mepham hosts both local rivals, and Kennedy is home versus Calhoun. Oceanside has a three-game stretch against Conference I rivals Baldwin, Freeport and East Meadow beginning Sept. 28, and Lynbrook takes on Conference III rivals Lawrence and Hewlett in back-to-back weeks in October. Week 5 features a laundry list of intriguing battles, including Hewlett at Lawrence, Carey at Elmont, Long Beach at Garden City, MacArthur at Wantagh, and the aforementioned Calhoun-Kennedy and East Meadow-Oceanside matchups.
10 Games To Watch
Sept. 28: Baldwin at Oceanside
Sept. 28 Calhoun at Mepham
Oct. 12: Hewlett at Lawrence

Sept. 1, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Chris Desrochers scored his second goal of the game with just over two minutes remaining to propel MIT (1-0-0) to a 3-2 win in its 2006 season opener over Fontbonne University (0-1-0). The match marked the first time the two squads had ever met.
The Cardinal and Gray held the majority of the possession throughout the opening stages and managed to turn it into its first goal of the season in the 10th minute. Andrew Bishara slotted a perfectly weighted through ball which Desrochers got to just before onrushing Fontbonne keeper Jess Jobe arrived. The speedy midfielder rounded the keeper and deposited the ball in the back of the empty net for the 1-0 lead.
However, MIT's lead didn't last long, as good work between Dane Arand and Kevin Vonarx pulled the Griffins level in the 12th minute. Arand played the ball across the face of the goal for Vonarx to redirect into the net.
The Engineers regained the lead before halftime through a brilliant individual goal by Ryan Sheffler. After taking a corner kick, the Engineer captain found the ball cleared back to him at the top of the 18-yard box and he wasted no time firing a shot just inside the near post to make it 2-1.
Arand pulled the Griffins even once more in the 54th minute, as the team from Missouri failed to give up. However, it was the boys from Massachusetts who ultimately emerged victorious. Fontbonne had a player ejected for receiving his second yellow card late in the game and MIT took full advantage of its extra man. A great passing sequence built up to the decisive third goal, the ball finally finding its way into the net off the foot of Desrochers with an assist credited to Dylan Wright.
The Engineers out-shot the Griffins, 23-11, with both Desrochers and Alex Morgan tallying six shots apiece. Tom Caldwell got the win, making three saves in net. Jess Jobe made six saves for Fontbonne, several of which were of the spectacular variety.
MIT next takes the field on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 4:00 p.m. when it travels to Newport, R.I. to take on Salve Regina. Fontbonne next plays on Sunday, Sept. 3 at 1:00 p.m. against Wheaton College.

These birds on the photos are all one breed. They are all Takla. Kaplan is a generic name given to any breed of bird with the same coloration. I am not sure what it is called in English.
Maybe Grizzle??
grg wrote:Also I see albescent (whitish) strip on the outer tail feathers of Erased Smokey Blue. Is Smokey just a local term?
That white strip is very common for all blue birds. It is on the outer edge of the last two tail feathers.
Does it have some genetic significans or something??
Smokey is a traditional name which is not specific to a location but used through out the country.
Now, that bird is a very very light smokey because of the erasing that takes place but if you take a look at the TRAINING article, the last photo on that page belongs to a bird that is only called Dumanlı, in other words Smokey.
grg wrote:PS: May I post some pics on pigeon genetics forum?
I really don't want the page to turn into a genetic discussion but if it is something like how you guys call this color type of a thing, can you please post it on Open Forum section?
I just want to make sure people don't get confused with different breed photos.
If you don't mind.

Kanye West flashed his lion-like dong in public Friday afternoon during Fashion Week in Paris ... is what we thought when we first looked at this photo.
Then we saw other photos from the set ... and realized it's just a bad angle.
You gotta admit ... it totally looks like a wiener.

For 33 days in September/ October 2006, I lived behind the security wall in Bethany, a small village in the West Bank just a few miles from the Old City on the edge of the expanded municipal border of Jerusalem. Al-Azariya is its Arab name. It was the home of Mary, Martha and their brother, Lazarus, whom Jesus released from the bondage of death. After calling Lazarus from the tomb, Jesus instructed the bystanders: Unbind him, and let him go. Today I feel called to witness to the slow death that is coming upon the Palestinian people. I want to help unbind the people of Al-Azariya and the entire Palestinian community from the great wall that is choking their land and their lives.
From the window of my room, I watched as a 30-foot high barrier wall was erected around me. My daily alarm clock was the sound of Israeli bulldozers, cranes, trucks and pile drivers competing with the call to prayer from surrounding mosques. I saw the grove of ancient olive trees and the garden crushed by the heavy equipment. Old stone walls marking the property line were smashed. Armed soldiers slept on the floodlit property at night. During the day they briskly patrolled the grounds to prevent anyone from skirting the checkpoint. Occasionally I heard gunshots or caught the odor of tear gas as the soldiers stopped trespassers.
A temporary checkpoint made of tall slabs of concrete and razor wire blocked access to the street leading to Jericho Road and into Jerusalem. At least three young Israeli soldiers armed with M-16 weapons guarded a narrow, two-foot break in the wall. In order to pass, one had to show an I.D. card or a passport, which was carefully examined by one or more of the guards.
For several days after I arrived I was unable to leave the property. It seemed that the soldiers could not distinguish between a 75-year-old female tourist with a U.S. passport and a potential terrorist. Even after I obtained a letter written in Hebrew from a colonel in the tourist bureau attesting to my status, the soldiers might decide to prevent me from passing. Once when I returned on foot, I was refused entry and instructed to go to the official checkpoint several miles away. Only after standing my ground for some time was I finally permitted to enter.
On another occasion, a group of Palestinians was seated on the ground at the base of the wall, having been refused passage. As I was about to walk through the checkpoint, the Palestinians loudly protested that Americans could enter, but they, native landowners, could not. They wanted their message to be told to our president and the American people. I was embarrassed that I was privileged and that their human rights were being denied.
One Friday morning during Ramadan I saw several older women dressed in head scarves and hijabs and well-groomed men in suits engaged in lively conversation with the soldiers, indicating that they wished to attend noon prayers at the Al Aqsa Mosque, a tradition for many Muslims during the festival time. Ultimately they were turned away. Daily I saw many other men and women who were denied passage.
Several buildings near the checkpoint housed small businesses that were cut off from customers in East Jerusalem and beyond. What effect will the dividing wall have on the ability of these men to provide for their families? Down the street, in a Catholic home for the aged, the frail elderly are isolated from relatives and friends on the other side of the segregation wall. What pain and sadness this causes in a culture where the extended family is the center of life.
Uniformed young children with their backpacks were allowed through the checkpoint to catch a school bus and happily returned through the narrow entry in the afternoon to be met by their mothers or fathers. When the wall is completed, the children will have to transfer to poorer schools behind the wall. For families fortunate enough to own a car, it may be possible for parents to drive to the new checkpoint and hope that they will be allowed to pass. The barrier wall will restrict not only students but also teachers. Even now churches, schools and hospitals are being cut off from those they formerly served.
The wall separates people from relatives, property, schools, holy sites and worship communities, hospitals and clinics, businesses, places of employment and even cemeteries. The arbitrariness regarding who is allowed through checkpoints breeds insecurity, fear and anger. Even persons with proper I.D. cards may be detained. Long lines, hours of waiting in the sun and the demeaning behavior of soldiers stirs up feelings of anger and resentment. I watched a small boy at the checkpoint as his father was questioned and searched. I wondered what that child would remember of the experience. Will he grow up hating those who abused his father? How does a parent maintain dignity and authority in the family when children daily see that parent humiliated? Will resentment one day explode into aggression? We already witness some of that behavior.
Jesus called the dead and walled-in Lazarus by name, called him to life and to freedom. The bystanders were not without a task. Jesus commanded them, Unbind him. We are those bystanders today as we watch the living death of the Palestinians. How can we follow the command of Jesus to unbind the Palestinians from this dividing wall that is slowly choking the people?
First, we can pray for justice and peace among the Israelis and Palestinians, so that no one will be deprived of basic human rights. No need to tell God how to accomplish this; just pray. Second, we can learn the facts about Palestinian life in Israel and the West Bank, and be skeptical about information in the media. Delve below the surface of the reports, research other sources such as The Electronic Intifada (www.electronicintifada.net), which publishes news, commentary and analysis from a Palestinian perspective; Americans for Peace Now (www.peacenow.org), a leading advocate for peace in the Middle East; and Churches for Middle East Peace (www.cmep.org), a coalition of 21 public policy offices of national churches and agenciesOrthodox, Protestant and Catholic. Finally, we can tell others what we have learned, speaking without bitterness, anger or harsh words to family, friends and especially those who represent us in government. We cannot remain silent and unmoved. We must follow Jesus command and begin to unbind Lazarusour Palestinian sisters and brothers.

Keeping up a healthy relationship with your partner might be just as important – and as difficult – as staying on good terms with your favorite club. As a weekend's worth of soccer approaches, make sure to keep your partner in mind while your eye strays to the game. MLS wife Krista Thorrington – the longtime sweetheart of Fire midfielder John Thorrington – gave MLSsoccer.com some background on her relationship and how to appease your main squeeze during times when relationships might seem secondary to the big game.
MLSSoccer.com: How much soccer did you watch before dating John and how much do you watch now? Is there ever an issue over the remote control?
KT: It's hard for me to remember what I watched before I met John since we've known each other for so long, but I did watch some soccer on TV. I mostly remember getting up really early in the morning to watch World Cup games when I was in high school. Needless to say, I watch a lot more soccer now. We watch games from MLS as well as the European leagues. Fortunately John gets a big dose of the game daily at training, so our TV isn't dominated by soccer when he's at home. That certainly helps us avoid any remote control wars.
MLSSoccer.com: Have you become a soccer fan since dating John or were you a soccer fan before you met?
KT: I have always been a fan of competitive sports in general, and, because I'm so non-competitive, I really admire the drive and passion of professional athletes. I've come to appreciate soccer mostly since I've known John.
MLSSoccer.com: How long have you guys dated, and when did you get married?
KT: John and I met in high school, and we've always been best friends, but we didn't date until much later in life. We got married after the 2008 MLS season in Southern California, where we both grew up.
MLSSoccer.com: Help us out. Pretend you're dating a 20-something soccer fan again and tell him what he can do for you so that watching soccer isn't an issue in your relationship.
KT: Contrary to what some may think, I find that women really enjoy watching soccer and going to games. I meet tons of female fans at Toyota Park who are just as enthusiastic as their boyfriends or husbands. Unlike some other sports, a lot of women grew up playing soccer as little girls, or have children who play, so they understand the game.
If your girlfriend or wife isn't already a fan, I would recommend bringing her to a game or to a meet-the-team event. Quite a few friends of mine back in California became hooked on the game after going to one. I feel as though women like to invest in what they're watching, and seeing a game live, or meeting a player, helps facilitate that. Soccer stadiums in general are newer, cleaner, and more family-friendly than other sports arenas, so it should be a good experience for both of you.
However, if you've tried those things, they didn't work, and you're planning on literally watching a day's worth of soccer games back-to-back, you should definitely offset it with some quality time the day before and after. Certainly there are things she enjoys that you guys could do together. That way when you're at the stadium or the bar having a great time, she'll be thinking about how she had a great time yesterday doing whatever thoughtful thing you planned, and you'll both be looking forward to your plans the next day. And, of course, dinner, flowers, and spa passes are always appreciated any time!

Profile of Alexa Chung
Model and fashion hipster Alexa Chung hosted the MTV afternoon program It's On with Alexa Chung in 2009. Chung was already used to life in front of a camera: she began modeling for teen magazines and Urban Outfitter catalogues at age 16, and in 2006 landed a job hosting the Saturday morning music and interview TV show Popworld on Britain's Channel 4. That gig ended in 2007, but the next year Chung suddenly was everywhere, appearing on Channel 4 programs like Vanity Lair and Freshly Squeezed, the BBC sketch comedy program The Wall, and the lighthearted fashion show Gok's Fashion Fix. She was much admired for her personal fashion sense, featuring a steady rotation of casual frocks and jumpers, short dresses, bare legs and flat shoes. The Guardian called her "Britain's rising It-girl-in-chief" and praised her "deadpan wit and minxish good looks," while The Daily Telegraph called her "a leading representative of an influential brand of quirky 21st-century Englishness." In 2009 MTV tapped her to host It's On, which replaced Total Request Live as the network's flagship afternoon program. The show got a lot of buzz, but was cancelled in December of that same year.
Chung's father was Chinese, her mother British… She has dated Alex Turner, front man for the band Arctic Monkeys, and photographer David Titlow, formerly of the bands Blue Mercedes and Heave.

In an interview in the latest issue of PC Zone, Lamia was asked if Activision would right its wrong and go back to dedicated servers for the Black Ops multiplayer.
"I think dedicated servers are excellent. I don't see any reason not to use them unless... well, I just don't see any reason not to," Lamia told PC Zone. "We're working very hard... so people can run dedicated servers and also participate in the communal experience the console players get to have, given they're all on first-party servers."
And if Call of Duty: Black Ops does have dedicated servers for PC gamers, they'll likely be playing a multiplayer map or two designed by a studio other than Treyarch. Citing unnamed sources, Kotaku reports that Singularity developer Raven Software has been pulled off of the project it was working on to focus on the CoD multiplayer for Black Ops.
No word on how extensive the work Raven is doing, but speculation is that the company has put two other projects on hold to lend a hand on Black Ops. And given the recent enormous success of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 map pack, it's possible Raven will focus on DLC map packs exclusively.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is set to launch for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Windows PCs on November 9.
Sharkey says: Definitely a big misstep by Infinity Ward, pushing PC gamers to P2P matchmaking, a group that helped make CoD the massive franchise it is today. Nice to hear that Treyarch doesn't want to repeat that mistake.

X-Rated Email Exchange Between Two Office Workers Goes Viral After One of Them Accidentally Copies In the Entire Staff
A pair of employees at a Scottish oil company had their — and everyone else's — worst nightmare realized this week after accidentally forwarding a series of private steamy exchanges to the entire office.
Receptionist Melanie Anderson was engaged in a raunchy back-and-forth with her fiancé Eric Knisz to liven up a boring workday at Integrated Subsea Services in Aberdeen, when the sandwich van suddenly showed up.
Anderson sent out a quick note to her coworkers to inform them of the sandwich van's arrival, but in a flub to end all flubs, she inadvertently included the entire chain of X-rated emails she and Knisz had sent each other.
As you might imagine, it didn't take long at all for the faux pas to be forwarded far and wide.
Some of the more quotable lines include "I love making love to you its ace!!!," "I adores ya you sexy mofo," and "I loved our session last night...you were very very wet!"
Soon enough the chain made the inevitable leap from oil company listservs to Twitter, where it was mercilessly mocked with the hashtag #sandwichvan.
A human resources rep at ISS released a statement saying the couple was "absolutely mortified" and "apologize for any offense caused," but it seems the shame was overwhelming.
According to Aberdeen-based BBC correspondent Kevin Keane, the couple has since quit their jobs.

Useful article in places, but rather bemused about the methods posited for redirection? Javascript is wildly inappropriate if your primary concern is unnecessary bandwidth consumption (mentioned in the preceeding paragraph) – considering that Javascript won't even be excuted until after page load. And performing blanket redirects with no consideration for specific page requested (as per your PHP example) is a usability nightmare.
Why no .htaccess? Surely by far the most appropriate solution.

Hi all,
not sure if it's just me but sometimes randomly (AFAIK) when i hit ctrl-p to open a file in the current project the focus doesn't go on the search line and i have to manually click into it to type.
Anybody else experiencing this?
I get it with the find panel once in a while.
to me too
I agree, Really annoyingHigh priority I might say too...
weird but i accidentally found out that if it happen to me, i just hit the key l (lowercase L), this somehow 'unlock' the search field focus problem.
it worked everytime i used it since i found it out 3 days ago... but it can be just luck... who knows, try it and respond here
I can confirm the "L" unlocks it, at least it did for me.thx vim
I'll second a request to fix this. I'm editing fullscreen most of the time and love the open file window!
I'd love to fix this, but I've yet to be able to reproduce it - it's never happened to me

What Are 'Community Standards' When It Comes To Obscenity Online?
from the time-to-fix-the-definition dept
What makes this tricky, also, is the fact that obscenity laws, like copyright laws are actually designed for a "broadcast media" world, where the worry is how a "publisher" produces some kind of content and pushes it out to a mass audience. Yet, the internet isn't designed as a broadcast media, but a communications one -- and suddenly the line gets a lot more blurry. Can you be thrown in jail for sending an obscene joke to a friend? Most people would think that's silly. But when the "audience" gets bigger, then the questions start to creep in, and the law is not equipped to handle it. If this content is only seen by those who seek it out, then is it really doing any actual "damage" to innocent people who are worried about being corrupted by obscenity? Either way, it looks like we may once again need to struggle with adapting laws to the very different nature of the internet.

Lesson One
What is the Internet?
The Internet is computers linked together to communicate with each other. The Internet was created in the 1960s by the Department of Defense. The World Wide Web and electronic mail (e-mail) are both part of the Internet.
What can the Internet be used for?
The internet can be used to access information you are interested in. Some examples of things you can do on the Internet include viewing art work, making travel reservations, finding maps and driving directions, finding telephone numbers, getting tax forms, shopping, and e-mailing.
Social Media, such as Facebook and Twitter, and blogs are ways of keeping in touch online. Many users are also connected to the Internet via mobile phones.
How do I get on the Internet?
You need the following items to get on the internet:
A computer
You can connect to the Internet using a desktop or laptop computer. New desktop computers come with an ethernet port and laptop computers generally come with a wifi card or an ethernet port. Wifi stands for "wireless fidelity" - the current technology that provides wireless Internet access. An ethernet port connects to the internet via a cable.
A Broadband connection
High speed digital cable (Roadrunner in this area) or DSL line connects you to the Internet. DSL uses existing phone lines. Both are faster connections than dial up service. Dial up service connects to the internet using your phone line and a modem.
An Internet Service Provider (ISP)
An Internet Service Provider is a company that provides access to the Internet for a fee. Examples of ISPs are Roadrunner Cable, SBC, Earthlink, Bright.net, and AT&T. At this writing, AT&T is the #1 DSL broadband service in the U.S. To locate Internet Service Providers in your area go to The ISP Guide at www.theispguide.com or look in the phone book yellow pages.
An Internet browser
A browser is the software that lets your computer view the Internet pages. The browser we are using is Microsoft Internet Explorer. At this writing IE 9 is the latest version. Other Internet browsers are Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera. Each browser has its own symbol, seen as an icon on the computer desktop. Double-click with your left mouse button to start the browser.
Internet Security is extremely important. Having a firewall, and antivirus and antispyware programs installed on your computer will help prevent spam, viruses, spyware, and other attacks. Most new computers come with a free trial version of a subscription security suite, such as Symantec or McAfee. Look in Consumer Reports or PC World Magazine for reviews and ratings of computer security software.
