The shape is not bad crafted and it perfoms good. It is clear, that it can't be zhuni and I thought the clay was nonetheless ok. But for me something was wrong with this pot so I take a closer look at and in it. I know they are quite common and some of you might own a YS lao zhuni pot so I share my findings.
This is the surface of the pot, with a bit goodwill one can think of shrinkage lines:
What caused my attention was the underside of the handle. Is this a crack?
At the inside bottom of the pot I discovered this:
This looks suspicious...
A look at the spout confirmed my hypothesis:
Here you can see a border in the spout where the red surface changes to paler clay.
(This was my first opinion but it changed. Please read further down the thread.)
I think the pot was covered with a layer of more liquid clay and got brushed in order to make an appearance similar to shrinkage lines. This crack-like lines are the layer peeling of.
I am a bit disappointed. I mean come on - everybody knows this is not real zhuni! The pot could be more beautiful if the clay were not layered because the craftmanship is not that bad. Instead we got pots where the layer will flake off in time.. Poor pot

Hayden Adkins thought his Marine father was coming home from overseas in about 30 days
Hayden Adkins thought his Marine father was coming home from overseas in about 30 days, but on Tuesday, the Graham A. Barden Elementary School third-grader got a big surprise.
The 8-year-old was in the library with classmates when his dad, Sgt. Brandon Miller, snuck in for an impromptu reunion.
Hayden turned to see his father and seemed to be in disbelief. Then he said, �Hey Dad. You need to shave your mustache.�
The two quickly embraced as wife and mother Melissa Miller shed tears at the sight of the pair as she held the couple�s other child, 2-year-old daughter Layla.
The Millers, of Havelock, had arranged with school administrators to have the reunion at school.
�With my dad being in the Army my entire life, I knew my dad was coming home so when I was at school, I would be watching the door to see if he�s coming,� Brandon Miller said of his own childhood. �He never did because he always got home late.�
Miller said he had tried to surprise his son before but logistics weren�t right to make it happen.
�Because this is my third coming home, the last two deployments I�ve tried to do it just to be spontaneous,� he said. �This is the first one that I�ve actually gotten home in time to actually do it, so I wanted to do it.�
Miller has spent the last eight months in Afghanistan and Qatar with the Cherry Point-based Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2. Miller was one of about 100 with VMAQ-2 to return home on Tuesday.
Miller works as an electrician on the EA-6B Prowler, but to his son, dad�s role is much more interesting.
�He�s a Marine. He helps people stay alive by getting them food and water,� the third-grader said.
Returning was emotional for the father.
�When we were walking down the hall, I really didn�t know how to feel or what I was going to do when I came in because I didn�t know what he was doing,� Miller said. �But every thought was running through my head trying to figure out how I felt. What I was going to do? I ended up just winging it I guess.�
Wife Melissa Miller thought she had ruined the surprise at one point.
�It went really well. I honestly didn�t know that the surprise would work out because I slipped up the other day, but we managed to make it work,� she said. �I accidentally told him that he was coming home in two days and my sister told him no he�s coming home in 30.
�It�s exciting. We miss him and I know the kids have a hard time dealing with it. But he�s home now.�
The Marine father, who may be redeploying in just six months, says he tries to soak up all of his time at home with family.
�I try to get involved with the homework as much as I can just to take the load off the wife,� he said. �She�s already doing a whole lot with me gone all the time. She�s got both the kids. I try to do what I can.
�Sometime next year I will probably be deploying again. When I�m home, I try to absorb as much as I can.�
He said he son enjoys riding bikes and skateboarding, and that much time would be spent together in those endeavors.
Hayden said he looked forward to playing Call of Duty on Play Station with his dad.
As for that strip of facial hair above the lip, Miller said it wouldn�t be there for long.
�He looks old because he has a mustache,� Hayden said.
�Yeah, I�m going to shave the mustache I guess. It�s got to go. It�s a deployment thing,� Miller said. �I was going to wait till I got home just to show him so he could make fun of me.�

Use these steps as a starting point when troubleshooting power quality problems. By organizing your approach, you'll ensure an effective investigation, proper data collection, accurate conclusions, and cost-effective recommendations.
Like all electrical and/or electronic equipment troubleshooting, site surveys rely on state-of-the-art diagnostic test equipment and the intuitive nature of the person using this equipment. Although most of us would like to think we are fully capable of doing such work, varying levels of expertise may prevent us from successfully resolving a power quality issue.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran, you'll need to use a systematic approach when investigating power quality problems on a premises wiring system. This approach involves four key chronological steps.
Step 1: Receive the complaint. Before hooking up diagnostic meters, you must first define the real or perceived problem (usually done with a "walk-through"). The walk-through gathers basic facts by asking equipment operators or other personnel questions about any equipment operation and malfunction. Some questions you can ask are: * When did the problem start? * What type of equipment is experiencing problems, and what is the sensitivity of the device? (This will become important as you evaluate the results of on-site testing and make recommendations.) * What types of equipment malfunctions are occurring? * When do the problems occur? * What are the possible problem sources at the site, and what is their proximity to the affected equipment? * Has the addition of a power conditioning device reduced or eliminated the problem, or is it worse? * Are there any recent changes to the premises wiring?
You can gain further insight into the problem by gathering information from other people or groups directly, or indirectly, involved with the facility operation. They may include the equipment manufacturer, local electric or telephone utility, a qualified electrical maintenance person, and the equipment operator.
Step 2: Identify the power quality concern. After you've done the initial questioning, review the information to find what course of action best serves the site's needs.
The most difficult part of a power site survey is deciding where to begin. You can use varying levels of a site survey to investigate a power quality problem. Deciding which avenue to choose depends on the desired information and possible cost limitations. Most surveys will fall into one of the following categories:
Level 1 survey: This covers the visual inspection, testing, and analysis of the AC premises wiring and grounding system supplying the affected equipment. Remember: Unless the quality of the wiring and grounding system is tested and verified, the data produced by voltage quality monitors can be misleading.
Level 2 survey: This includes a Level 1 survey plus monitoring the applied AC voltage and load current of affected equipment. Voltage quality investigations usually take the shape of short- or long-term power line monitoring.
Level 3 survey: This consists of the Level 1 and 2 surveys plus monitoring environmental site conditions. A detailed look at possible radio frequency interference (RFI), electromagnetic interference (EMI), electrostatic discharge (ESD), and improper levels of temperature/humidity is more of a necessity where certain devices are sensitive to their surrounding environments.
Step 3: Organize and perform the site analysis. Organization is the key ingredient to a successful investigation. You'll need a large amount of advance preparation prior to doing a power site survey. Purchasing diagnostic equipment, attending safety training, and applying proper test methods are just a few items you must consider.
Here are some areas of concern you need to address prior to investigating.
Documentation: Make sure you provide a space in your documentation for each basic measurement taken. This allows you to use the documentation as log sheets to track any electrical expansion of distribution panels, transformers, and receptacles over an extended time period.
Test equipment: You may need the following diagnostic equipment during a survey: true rms-sensing voltmeter; true rms-sensing clamp-on ammeter; harmonics analyzer; power line monitor; oscilloscope with line viewer; earth ground resistance tester; and ground impedance tester.
Additional equipment may include devices providing accurate measurement of temperature and humidity, RFI, EMI, and power system demand (e.g., kVA, kW, etc.).
Type of tests to perform: The success of your approach to performing a survey (and prompt location of the problem's cause) usually depends on several factors: Your experience and intuition, and the type of industry, environment, and perceived problem.
Your investigation of power quality problems should include the grounding electrode system, electrical distribution panels, transformers, and receptacles/equipment locations. Here are just some of the tests and inspections you can do. * Grounding electrode (earthing) systems: visual inspection of connections and electrodes for corrosion; check tightness of connections; current measurement of grounding electrode conductors; earth ground resistance testing; and two-point bond testing. * Electrical panels: visual investigation; check tightness of connections; true rms voltage measurements; current measurements; ground and neutral impedance measurements; electrical noise measurements; voltage quality monitoring; and harmonic measurements. * Transformers: visual investigation; check tightness of connections; true rms voltage measurements; current measurements; voltage quality line monitoring; and harmonic measurements. * Receptacles: visual investigation; true rms voltage measurements; verify correct wiring; test for improper neutral-ground bond; test for properly installed isolated ground; and ground and neutral impedance measurement. * Electrical noise measurements.
Step 4: Evaluate results and provide cost-effective solutions. Brief the end-user on the results upon completion of the survey. This will give you the chance to tell your customer about potential safety hazards, suspected problem areas, and possible recommendations.
Be careful with your recommendations; make sure you follow these rules: * Weigh the gathered data and possible solutions with the needs and tolerances of the affected equipment. Many power quality investigators have found that offering general recommendations to particular problems came back to haunt them. One example of this is the general practice of recommending an IG wiring system to counter a perceived electrical noise problem affecting computer equipment. Electrical noise on a grounding system may, in fact, be the result of shared power distribution with non-sensitive loads, the length of branch circuits, or improperly wired outlets -none of which will be corrected by an isolated ground. * If you can, provide your client with more than one sensible solution to the problem. Remember, some solutions may have a higher initial cost but result in a long-term benefit. * Urge the resolution of any wiring and grounding deficiencies before applying power conditioning equipment. * Keep in mind you may have to provide some type of simulation for harmonics or transient analysis.
The most effective way to find power quality problems related to the wiring and grounding system may be through visual inspection. Improper neutral-ground bonds in branch circuit panelboards, incorrectly installed IG systems, overcrowded branch circuits, and poorly maintained earthing systems are just some of the conditions you can find if you're a trained observer. More importantly, you may find unsafe conditions for personnel and measurement equipment that you can correct.
Your best bet is to follow common sense rules. Most surveys that fail to produce acceptable results are due to not following one or more of the items below. * Safety first. Make sure you wear safety gloves and glasses, use your test equipment properly for the test being performed, and secure your test equipment if left unattended. * Don't assume anything. * Step back and take a look if things don't look right.

Thankss for a Great Spoil ass hole.... did you ever think that some pll dont read the (Manga) in the world.... Smart ass now im going to spoil you to the holle bleach trilogy. im going to make you life 1 big Spoil. Greets Darkness Devil.
Um, they already fought. Hollow Ichigo said that as Ichigo gains experience, so does he
He would probably kill Aizen and yamamoto, take over the world and begin eating shinigamis and arancars.
the picture says it all

although i'm not sure about this from what i have read from different website ichigo has a 2nd
hollow form which is called full hollowfication
plus he also might have a 3rd bankai or blade called tensagaguyuri<<<i'm not sure if i spelt it correctly
i guess this one is fake...
its just a fan art..
tokk on..
i think too it's getting boring getsuga tenshou but if the final form is like that it will be AWSOME first the looking of Ichigo and then his zanpakuto look the sape ITS AWSOME this should be his final form end of discussion!!!
Ogichi will swap places instead of just taking over and then he'll have white shehakso and white skin. That should happen and the real Ichigo is stuck in his own world. lol Everyone would be freaking out. Think of how much of a riot he would make.
AHHHHHH Ogichi RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mommy!
Where the hell am I?
Ha I think Ichigo has not even done with the hollow even at sconded stage Ichigo will go even more down to hollow untill it takes over and I think when Ichigo first started to hollow fie he awakend the true devil in him it going to be more of the greates rides in anime to see Ichigo and the devil hollow in side him battle more and see him in the true form that keeps changing all hell is about to break loss Happy Halloween all and my the hollows rise LOL.
wew thats only an image created by fans and not real
Hey Not to say anything against all you guys but Hollow Ichigos Real name is Ogihci Ikasuruk.. Ichigo Kurusaki backwords and completly backwords not Ogichi. Thats why I based this Pic I made towards my Favorite character of the show.
Hollow ichigo is just waiting for the right chance to devour ichigo haha

Hi, my name is Ana (a.k.a Elodia), and i live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I really like japanese food and practically like to try every new dish I can. Once i learnt about bentos and found such wonderfull webs aroun about them, I couldn`t help it, I had to try. I started preparing easy stuff, but my main problem is getting the ingredients here.
I'm on a diet, and my nutricionist says I can't eat that much rice, so I eat mainly veggies and chicken, which is very boring!
Last week I received my new bento box, which I first used on sunday, with some grilled chicken, tomato salad, ommelete and some oniguiris, with tangerine for desert.
Anyways, im really happy to learn how to cook and, most of all, take care of myself, in a funny and nice way!
Welcome Elodia! I think you're our first member from Argentina ^_^
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
hi there elodia!
my sister-in-law is from argentina, i gather you've got a nice fusion kind of cuisine there. have fun with your bento-boxing and wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllcome to the forum!
(i didn't pack enough carbs today so i just had to midnight-snack on rye brad, cream cheese and smoked trout. everybody should have smoked trout! ohmyGOD. so good! go out now and buy some if you can get it. i'm slightly drunk, rough night, pardon)
Oh yum, smoked trout. It's 11pm here and I could just use a bit of a snack. You're making my mouth water.
Hi Elodia.
My blog is Food and Shoes
thanks for the warm welcome!
I will post some stuff about argentine cuisine if you like! we have a lot of different foods here. I love trout, but here is so &%$/%$ expensive, and my hubby hates fish, so I eat fish when he is not around.
I'm in those days of the month, and i can´t eat, or sleep... had half grilled aubergine and a hamburguer(but couldnt finish it), here is too hot and heavy, summer is going to suck a lot...
Mmmm, ravioli bento!
I'm afraid most of what I know about Argentina is from Mafalda (I suspect she wouldn't like miso shiru very much) I have a real soft spot for Quino.
Looking forward to learning more.
Thanks for the welcome Loretta! I love Mafalda too, I'm reallly fond of a "toda Mafalda" autographied copy I own! I also like his other works. To be honest, I wasn't much of a soup eater since I moved from my parents to Buenos Aires, and realizad that they're cheap and healthy :D

If you already have lamps then you can just change the lamp shades and this can affect the lighting. Lamp shades are a really cost effective way of doing things. Just keep it simple and experiment with different options. Lighting is quite simple sort but it doesn't stop there. You should be thinking about furniture as part of your living room ideas. You can change a lot of furniture but that really isn't necessary. Just by moving a few items that you already have should do the trick.
We all want our homes to look great. Often we focus on one room at a time, get that how we want it then move onto the next. This is a really great strategy as it means you stay focused. Today we will be focussing on the living room and coming up with some living room ideas. A key factor of any room is the lighting. You can affect lighting in so many different ways so it is important that you get it right. You have the standard lights that are on the ceiling; you have table lamps and floor lamps. Floor lamps are becoming more popular and the reason for that is their flexibility. You can put them in any area of the room which means that the move them about as you wish.
If you are going out to buy new things then that is a lot more fun. Try to do a bit of research first to find out what styles you like and the types of prices that you will have to pay. This will put you in a much better position when it comes to negotiating. You precisely adore your living room, right? Indeed, there are innumerable ways on how you could decorate your own living room. Below are a few worthy ideas that you could consider as you think about how to deal with home décor living room ventures.

WASHINGTON (AP) — 3:30 p.m.

Palestinians have taken to the streets in the Gaza Strip to protest the decision by President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Dozens of angry youths burned tires in spontaneous protests at several locations Wednesday after Trump's declaration.
The Islamic militant group Hamas has called for more protests over the coming days. Hamas controls Gaza, and the U.S. and the European Union consider it a terrorist organization
Trump's announcement breaks with decades of U.S. foreign policy.
It brought warnings from leaders in the Mideast and elsewhere that the move could inflame tensions in the volatile Mideast and complicate Mideast peace efforts.
3:05 p.m.
U.S. embassies in the Middle East and Europe are warning Americans traveling or living there of the potential for violent protests after President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Within minutes of Trump's announcement, the embassies in Turkey, Jordan, Germany and Britain issued security alerts urging Americans to exercise vigilance and caution. Other embassies are expected to follow suit.
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara says it expects protests to take place near its location as well as the consulates in Istanbul and Adana.
The U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan, says it would close to the public on Thursday and has banned employees from leaving the capital. The children of embassy employees have been told to stay home from school and all Americans there are advised to keep a low profile.
U.S. Embassies in Berlin, London and Minsk, Belarus issued identical warnings.
3 p.m.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says President Donald Trump made a "bold move" by implementing a U.S. law that has long called for the American Embassy in Israel to move to Jerusalem.
Tillerson is in Germany for a brief stop and made the comment as he met with U.S. military commanders. Earlier in the day, Trump said he was recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Tillerson says planning for a Jerusalem embassy will start immediately — and that includes picking a site. But he says building the embassy will take time.
There's opposition in the Arab world to Trump's decision, and Tillerson says the State Department has taken necessary precautions to ensure the safety of U.S. personnel in the region.
2:35 p.m.
Egypt has denounced President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.
Egypt was the first Arab nation to sign a peace treaty with Israel — that came in 1979.
A Foreign Ministry statement says Trump's decision is a violation of international resolutions on the city's status.
The statement says Egypt is worried about the impact of the U.S. move on the stability of the region and about its "extremely negative" impact on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
2:30 p.m.
The Palestinian leader says President Donald Trump has destroyed his credibility as a Mideast peace broker after recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Mahmoud Abbas says in a televised statement that Trump's decision "is a declaration of withdrawal from the role it has played in the peace process."
Trump's Mideast peace team has held months of meetings with Israeli, Palestinian and Arab leaders for nearly a year ahead of an expected peace proposal.
By recognizing Israel's claim to Jerusalem, Trump is seen by the Palestinians as siding with Israel on the most sensitive issue in the conflict. The Palestinians seek east Jerusalem — which Israel captured in 1967 — for their capital.
Abbas says the Palestinian leadership will meet in the coming days and consult with Arab leaders to formulate a response.
2:15 p.m.
France's leader says President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital is "a regrettable decision that France does not approve."

2:10 p.m.
An adviser to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas says President Donald Trump's announcement on Jerusalem has "isolated the U.S. from any role in the peace process."

Trump has recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, while paying little recognition to the Palestinian claim to the eastern part of the city.
2 p.m.
Hundreds of people in Turkey are staging demonstrations near U.S. diplomatic missions in Ankara and Istanbul.
The demonstrations came after President Donald Trump announced that the United States now recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
And Turkey's foreign minister has condemned what he says is an "irresponsible" decision by Trump.
1:50 p.m.
The head of the Islamic militant group Hamas is accusing President Donald Trump of disregarding Palestinian feelings with his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Ismail Haniyeh says in a statement that the Palestinian people "know how to respond properly to the disregard of their feelings and sanctuaries."
He says the decision "will not change the facts of history and geography."
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the U.S. and other Western allies.
1:45 p.m.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is speaking out against what he says are "unilateral measures" that jeopardize the prospect for peace for Israelis and Palestinians.
He's speaking after President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States now recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
But the U.N. leader says the issue of Jerusalem must be resolved through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
Guterres tells reporters that "in this moment of great anxiety, I want to make it clear: there is no alternative to the two-state solution. There is no Plan B."
The U.N. chief never mentioned Trump's decision in his remarks.
Guterres says he'll do "everything in my power" to promote the return to negotiations by Israeli and Palestinian leaders "and to realize this vision of a lasting peace for both people."
1:35 p.m.
Israel's prime minister calls it a "historic day" — following President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Trump is pledging to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, and Netanyahu is urging other countries to follow suit.
1:30 p.m.
President Donald Trump says he's directing the State Department to begin preparations to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump says the move would allow the department to begin hiring architects and making other plans. Trump says the move is "a recognition of reality."
The move breaks with decades of U.S. foreign policy. And the president is defying warnings from global leaders that it would it more difficult to achieve a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians.
1:25 p.m.
President Donald Trump is trying to make the case that his decision about recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is "long overdue" and will advance the Mideast peace process.
Trump says he intends to do "everything" in his power "to help forge" a peace deal.
Trump is also acknowledging that "there will of course be disagree and dissident" over the moves, including relocating the American Embassy from Tel Aviv.
But he's calling for calm in response to his announcement.
1:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump has announced that the United States now recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It's a move that upends decades of U.S. policy.
He says in a White House speech that he's "determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Trump says he's deemed this change to be in America's interests.
The president says the decision "marks the beginning of a new approach to conflict between Israel and the Palestinians."
World leaders have warned that the move could inflame tensions in the volatile Mideast.

The White House has released early excerpts of President Donald Trump's speech on plans to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, and he's saying the U.S. remains "deeply committed" to achieving Mideast peace.
Trump is saying he intends "to do everything" in his power to help forge a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians.
As part of his announcement, he plans to instruct the State Department to begin the long process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
And Trump's acknowledging opposition to his plans.
He says: "There will of course be disagreement and dissent regarding this announcement. But we are confident that ultimately, as we work through these disagreements, we will arrive at a place of greater understanding and cooperation."
12:10 p.m.
President Donald Trump is previewing his announcement on Israel — saying at the White House that "it's long overdue."
The president isn't offering details of the decision during a Cabinet meeting. But he's expected to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and instruct the State Department to begin the long process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Trump says "many presidents have said they want to do something and they didn't do it." He says he'll be making the announcement later in the day.
Mideast leaders say Trump's expected decision could lead to violent protests and complicate Mideast peace efforts.
11:10 a.m.
Bolivia's U.N. ambassador says he'll seek a U.N. Security Council meeting as soon as possible if President Donald Trump declares Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
Bolivia is serving a two-year term on the U.N.'s most powerful panel.
The envoy, peace and security.
Ambassador Sacha Llorentty Soliz, tells reporters that declaring Jerusalem as Israel's capital "will be a reckless and a dangerous decision that goes against international law, the resolutions of the Security Council, and also weakens any effort for peace in the region."
Soliz says such a decision would threaten prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, as well as jeopardize international peace and security.
10:05 a.m.
Leaders of major Christian denominations in the Holy Land have appealed to President Donald Trump to rethink his expected decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
They say in a letter that Trump's steps will mean "increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land."
Their letter asks Trump to walk toward "more love and a definitive peace" by continuing to recognize the international status of Jerusalem.
And they say that "any sudden changes would cause irreparable harm."
The letter was signed by all of the city's major church figures, including the Greek Orthodox patriarch, Theophilos III, and Archbishop Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Roman Catholic apostolic administrator.
9:50 a.m.
The head of the Arab League says an expected U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would be an "unjustified provocation" for Arabs.
Ahmed Aboul-Gheit says the anticipated U.S. decision would constitute a "blow" to Arab-American relations and to the U.S. role as a mediator between Israelis and Palestinians.
He also says it would be a "violation" of U.N. resolutions and international law.
Trump is expected to announce his decision later Wednesday.
8:55 a.m.
British Prime Minister Theresa May says she plans to call President Donald Trump to discuss his plan to relocate the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Trump is reportedly poised to set to start the process of shifting the embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
May tells the House of Commons that Britain's position is that "the status of Jerusalem should be determined in a negotiated settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and Jerusalem should ultimately form a shared capital."
8 a.m.
The Union for Reform Judaism in the United States says President Donald Trump's anticipated announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is "ill-timed."
The group's leader, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, says in a statement that while the reform movement believes "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish people" and the U.S. Embassy should be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, now is not the time.
Jacobs says "we cannot support his decision to begin preparing that move now, absent a comprehensive plan for a peace process."
The New York City-based organization says the relocation should be done in the broader context reflecting Jerusalem's status as a city holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims.
8:04 a.m.
President Donald Trump will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Wednesday despite intense Arab, Muslim and European opposition to a move that would upend decades of U.S. policy and risk potentially violent protests.
Trump will instruct the State Department to begin the multi-year process of moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city, U.S. officials said Tuesday. It remains unclear, however, when he might take that physical step, which is required by U.S. law but has been waived on national security grounds for more than two decades.
The announcement brought warnings from leaders in the Mideast and elsewhere that this move could cause violent protests and complicate Mideast peace efforts.

Dear Sub Pop, I was wondering if we could play (insert Sub Pop band here) or any of the songs readily available from your site on one of our up coming podcasts(do-it-yourself online radio show)?
While we're unable to give you blanket permission to use any ol' song you want from our catalog, you may incorporate any of the songs that are freely available as MP3s here on the really very official website of Sub Pop Records into your podcasts. HOWEVER, we do reserve the right to change our mind about the availability of any song for any reason at any time. Fickle, no?

It's a good thing Air Canada didn't play any of the movies making their debut at the Maui Film Festival during my flight to this heavenly Hawaiian island.
The featured films, with titles like Spotlight Earth, A Beginner's Guide to Giving a Damn about Climate Change and Penguin in a Pickle, made me feel G.U.I.L.T.Y. about my dependence on oil products for personal pleasure. I'm referring to jet fuel, not the petroleum by-product "whipped cream."
Since the launch of Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" phenomenon and Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, the planet's fate has been front-and-centre. Yet, globe-trotting continues.
So on this trip, instead of worrying about the effectiveness of my SPF, I focus my energies on saving the penguin. To make amends for failing to offset carbon emissions on my flight, I decide to limit my impact on the environment once I've arrived at my destination -- the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea.
How green could I make my stay and just how green was my hotel of choice?
This resort franchise owned by Michael Dell of Dell Computers makes it extremely easy for you to stay put. So I do. With three on-site restaurants and room service, I pooh-pooh the 100 Mile Diet and embark on the 100 Metre Diet -- food within reach of my spectacular oceanfront suite.
The signature purple orchids that greet you upon arrival in lei form and then decorate everything from your pillow to toilet bowl are in fact edible, organic and locally grown. For fear of turning purple, I also choose to eat at Ferraro's, Duo and Spago and simply roll from one restaurant to another, thus minimizing the carbon dioxide I emit.
Not finding any alcohol on the menu that is distilled in Hawaii, I opt for the next-best thing -- a cocktail with a local name. The cocktail in question is the Maui Elite, and at $150, it has the honour of being one of the world's most expensive. The Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac is bottled in environmentally friendly glass and the sugared rim is locally raised cane. So far, so friendly.
Hawaiian Isles bottled water is served at the hotel. Fiji water is also abundantly available. I'm a Fiji fan and not that quick to give up my fave. My husband insists I take part in a blind taste test. I choose Fiji. (Someone please tell those penguins to stop looking at me.)
One call to the concierge and from this day forth we're drinking coconut water straight from freshly picked coconuts. We've achieved 100-per-cent local -- completely done away with the need for plastic bottles. And we have lovely bowling balls as gifts for friends and loved ones.
Hotel towels are another of my weaknesses. I love to use each and every single towel in the a.m. and then have fresh towels in the p.m. The penguin and I have a stare-off. I strike a deal with my husband. I decide he can reuse his towels and I enrol myself in a 12-step towel addiction program.
Step one -- a tour of the hotel's laundry facility, which turns out to be an environmental hallelujah. The Four Seasons installed a tunnel wash/dry system that uses eco-friendly laundry soap and has knocked back the use of water from 17 million gallons to seven million per year and reduced energy usage from 737 kilowatts to 298 kilowatts per year.
I learn that each of the 380 rooms is responsible for an average of 42 pounds of laundry per day and that you can thank 30 hard-working individuals for your clean sheets and towels. "Hello. My name is Eva and I no longer toss a towel into the tub after one use."
The 24-hour swimming pool gets a green star from both the penguins and me. Instead of using the harsh chemical chlorine, the resort has opted for a saline system. Salt water keeps you more buoyant and your bathing suit looking fresher, longer.
And, miracle of miracles, after a dip you emerge looking like none other than Elle McPherson. The side-effects of being planet-friendly are indeed favourable.
Our room is so close to the ocean that the breeze itself is a natural form of AC. Other penguin-approved moves include jigging the room AC system to deactivate when the lanai doors are open and installing ceiling fans in the rooms.
I add running around naked to my personal save-the-planet efforts. In addition to open-air public spaces -- entirely eliminating the need for air conditioning -- you'll also find an open-air fitness centre that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger helped design. You know who to vote for if you're American.
This resort has done some really smart scent marketing, too. In partnership with Ajne they've created a fragrance that'll remind you of your time spent on the island -- Palena'ole. This plant-distilled essential oil-based perfume magically transports you to the island without having to leave your backyard. How's that for the ultimate in carbon-free travel?
Ajne creators -- parfumeur Jane Hendler and husband and distiller Rex Rombach -- spent time "smelling" Maui and then bottling it. They even asked the flowers' permission before picking them. Their fragrances are phthalate free. That's the bad stuff used in the manufacture of plastics.
It's impossible to go stir crazy here. The ocean is right at your bare feet. A multimillion-dollar art collection gives you museum-quality works by local artists to enjoy in the hotel itself. I also spa myself to perfection with an ocean-air facial, cocoon treatments and a massage in a Hale Hau.
A Hale is an authentically constructed open-air thatched roof hut that looks out onto the ocean and has been deemed by purists as one of the most natural places on earth to have a massage. The other best place would be Pierce Brosnan's bedroom -- one floor above mine.
As departure day looms -- much like the Earth's demise -- I desperately search for a green means of transportation back to Canada. I miss my paddle-boarding lesson, so I strike that idea off my list. I consider swimming, but locals insist you vacate the water at dusk.
So I choose the option employed by paparazzi stalking the celebs at the Fours Seasons. I carve out a home for myself in the perfectly manicured nuapaka hedges on the property's edge and decide to just live here instead like a feral island cat.

Fortunes in Furs
For centuries, the Lenape Indians lived on the land that would become New Jersey. However, their way of life began to change in 1609 when Henry Hudson explored the Atlantic shoreline. Anticipating potential fortunes from the fur trade, the Dutch established the colony of New Netherland. They soon came into conflict with the Lenape, and then with the English and the Swedes, who also sought control of the region.
The Two New Jerseys
After the English conquest of New Netherland, King Charles II of Britain granted the former Dutch territories to his brother James, Duke of York, who divided the colony into New York and New Jersey. James gave New Jersey to his friends, John, Lord Berkeley, and Sir George Carteret, who sold their shares to other investors, known as proprietors. In 1676, the colony was divided into East and West Jersey. From the outset, the two New Jerseys were beset with problems. In 1702, the proprietors asked the crown to take over the government, reuniting New Jersey.
Royal Rule and Religious Revival
The reunion of East and West Jersey did not solve New Jersey's problem. New Jersey still shared a governor with New York, and the governor aroused the ire of many New Jerseyans. Additionally, land ownership continued to be disputed, resulting in widespread rioting. At the same time, a religious revival, known as the Great Awakening, spread throughout the British colonies, resulting in the founding of Rutgers and Princeton universities. In challenging established church authorities, the revival helped pave the road to the American Revolution.
The Republican Rebellion
New Jersey was the Crossroads of the American Revolution, being strategically located between the British military headquarters in New York City and the Continental Congress sitting in Philadelphia. New Jersey's role in the American Revolution begins with the protests against the Stamp Act and other British imperial measures, includes the passage of New Jersey's first state constitution of 1775, and Washington's stunning victories over the British in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and concludes with the effects of the Revolution on women and blacks.
Monopolies and Mechanics
Alexander Hamilton's vision of a manufacturing center at the Falls of the Passaic River lays the groundwork for the founding of the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures in Paterson in 1791. To encourage internal improvements New Jersey chartered corporations and the granted of transportation monopolies to steamboat and railroad companies. The so-called Market Revolution resulted in a fissure in the unified world of masters, journeymen and apprentices of the colonial period. It changed home-life as well as work-life, resulting in a new definition of women's roles.
Vistas of Democracy
The American Revolution unleashed a flurry of new ideas about freedom and equality. But not everyone in the early nineteenth century enjoyed these rights. While women and free blacks who owned property could vote under New Jersey's 1776 constitution, that right was taken away from them in 1807. African Americans and Quakers helped slaves from the South escape through New Jersey on the Underground Railroad. After the Civil War, the women's movement split over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, which guaranteed the right to vote to African American men, but not to women.
A State of Many Nations
New Jersey had been ethnically and religiously diverse since colonial times. However, the colonial religious denominations were almost all Protestant. In the early nineteenth century immigration shifted to Germany and Ireland, and many of these newcomers were Catholics. Middle-class reformers attempted to "Americanize" the German and Irish immigrants by promoting temperance and using the newly created public schools to make the immigrants into good Americans (meaning, Protestants). In response, the Germans and Irish created their own parochial schools and requested the state to provide funding.
Technology in the Garden
In 1876, Thomas Alva Edison opened his so-called "invention factory" on a hill in Menlo Park overlooking the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks. Between 1876 and 1882 Edison filed more than 300 patents, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light. There were, however, social implications for technological development. When Paterson broad-silk manufacturer Henry Doherty increased the work assignments from two to four looms, his weavers went on strike with the support of the radical Industrial Workers of the World.
The Progressive Banner
In the gubernatorial election of 1910 the Democratic Party nominated the president of Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson. As governor, Wilson proposed reforms, including direct primary elections, banning of ballot box stuffing, an authority to regulate public utilities, and a workmen's compensation act. The period also witnessed a Great Migration of African Americans from the South to industrial northern cities like Newark and a successful campaign to gain the right to vote for women led by Alice Paul from Mt. Laurel.
The Suburban State
The second half of the twentieth century witnessed a major shift in political power in New Jersey from a coalition of rural Republicans and urban Democrats to the suburbs. The new state constitution of 1947 established a powerful Supreme Court, which became a flashpoint on the issues of school funding and discriminatory zoning.
The series was co-produced by the New Jersey Historical Commission and NJN Public Television.

Talking History
The Life and Times of Frank Hague
Narrated by Malachy McCourt, written & produced by David Steven Cohen & Marty Goldensohn.
He was the mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey, for thirty years, 1917 to 1947. A working-class hero, a Progressive reformer, a dictator-American style, in high collar and spats, he was the ultimate Irish political boss. He could put a turkey on your Thanksgiving table, your brother-in-law on the police force, and your vote in FDR's column. He could also put his hand in your pocket.
It is a tale of an America that no longer exits, a time of rough and tumble politics, the days before media packaged candidates, when a street kid could rise from the slums to walk the halls of power.
2001. A co-production of the New Jersey Historical Commission and NJN Public Radio 60-minute.CD, $6.00 ppd.

Folklife Documentaries
In the Barnegat Bay Tradition
In the Barnegat Bay region, there is a timeless tradition of waterfowl hunting involving hand-crafted decoys and locally-made wooden boats known as sneakboxes.
This documentary features boatbuilder Sam Hunt from Waretown and the National- Heritage-Award-winning decoy carver Harry Shourds.
This program won an Emmy when it was originally broadcasted.
Schooners on the Bay
From the early nineteenth century until World War II, New Jersey oystermen dredgedfor oysters under sail from the decks of graceful, wooden schooners.
Using old photographs and interviews with boatbuilders and oystermen, this program recounts the age of sail on Delaware Bay.
It follows two New Jersey schooners to Penobscot Bay in Maine, where they are used to take tourists on "windjammer" cruises.
Pinelands Sketches
This program profiles five traditional activities in five environments of the New Jersey Pinelands:
railbird shooting in the meadows
cedar farming in the swamps
building wooden boats called garveys for clamming on the bays
cranberry harvesting in the farmlands
and fox hunting from pick-up trucks in the woodlands
Paul Robeson Chautauqua
The Commission has videotaped the chautauqua (a dramatic impersonation of a historical figure) it inaugurated in 1997 as a project to commemorate the centennial of Paul Robeson's birth (April 9, 1898). The videotape is available as a curriculum resource in three different versions for the elementary, middle, and high schools. The videos feature the professional actor Marvin Jefferson as Paul Robeson.
Paul Robeson: Singer,
is designed for fourth-grade students and focuses on Robeson's career as a major interpreter of the folk songs of many cultures.
(20 minutes)
Paul Robeson: Scholar-Athlete,
prepared for middle school students, concentrates on Robeson's days at Rutgers University where his academic record and athletic achievements remain legendary.
(24 minutes)
Paul Robeson: Political Activist,
is for high school students and highlights Robeson's role as the politically engaged artist. The programs were taped before audiences of Newark public school students, some of whom ask the Robeson chautauquan (Marvin Jefferson) questions.
(27 minutes)
Given the broad and rich nature of Robeson's life, the three videos expose students to such fields as history, geography, music, languages, philosophy, and political science. The videos' content will help to achieve the state Department of Education's core curriculum standards for United States and New Jersey history. A teacher's guide accompanies each video.
The videos were made possible by generous grants from the Hite Foundation and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation.
This video co-produced by NJN Public Television and the New Jersey Historical Commission, is designed for use by New Jersey students in the elementary, middle, and high schools.
Cost: $10.00 ppd. per video (including teacher's guide). Checks should be payable to "Treasurer, State of New Jersey." Order from Publications, NJ Historical Commission, PO Box 305, Trenton 08625-0305; (609) 292-6062, fax 633-8168.
