How solar brought Muslims and Jews together in one West Bank village
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of Christian Science Monitor
How solar brought Muslims and Jews together in one West Bank village
Christian Science Monitor, May 16, 2016
Posted: 2016-05-23 17:59:44
A solar project funded and operated by both Jews and Muslims is shining some light on Auja, a small Palestinian town located in one of the most controversial territories on Earth. The $100,000 project is harnessing solar energy to power the drawing of water from deep underground to irrigate a grove of palms growing the prized Medjool dates. It is the first large project to be funded by both Jews and Muslims in the United States – including former New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg – and to be operated by Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims on the ground. The solar array is providing an economic boost to 45 farming families in this town of 5,000 Palestinians on the eastern flank of the West Bank who struggle with scarce water and unreliable and expensive electricity. Ben Jablonski ... is leading the project through a nonprofit he founded called Build Israel Palestine. Mr. Jablonski, who is Jewish, started the organization in 2014 with Tarek Elgawhary, an Egyptian Muslim religious scholar in Washington, D.C. who also runs Coexist, an educational nonprofit. Jablonski gave up his board seat with the Jewish National Fund, a nonprofit infrastructure developer that has limited but controversial involvement in West Bank settlements, in order to meet the demands from the Auja community, which insisted that donors and engineers involved in the project have no connections to Israeli settlements. Build Israel Palestine's work focuses on providing Palestinians access to water, and doing so by bringing Muslims and Jews together.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Former U.S. Air Force Officers Recount Experiences With UFOs at Nuclear Missile Bases
2010-10-27, ABC News
The U.S. government's official line may be that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) don't pose a national security threat, but a group of former Air Force officers gathered Monday in the nation's capital to tell a different story. During a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., seven former Air Force officers once stationed at nuclear bases around the country said that not only have UFOs visited Air Force bases, some have succeeded in disabling nuclear missiles stationed there. "I want the government to acknowledge that this phenomenon exists," said Robert Salas, a former U.S. Air Force Nuclear Launch Officer. Salas said he doesn't think the UFOs he claims to have encountered had any offensive intent, but he believes they wanted to leave an impression. "They wanted to shine a light on our nuclear weapons and just send us a message," he said. "My interpretation is the message is get rid of them because it's going to mean our destruction." Other former officers recounted similar stories of unexplained moving lights and odd-shaped flying objects during their time in the service. Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author of the new book "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record," said thousands of pages of documentation support the officers' accounts. She spent the last 10 years researching UFOs and combing through thousands of pages of declassified government material. Kean said that one declassified document that she researched for her book, relating to the Salas incident, said, "the fact that no apparent reason for the loss of the 10 missiles can easily be identified is a cause for grave concern to this headquarters."

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.

FDA knew doctors were misusing powerful opioids
2018-08-03, NBC News
The Food and Drug Administration knew that some doctors were wrongly prescribing powerful opioid painkillers. The drugs include mouth sprays and lozenges meant to provide immediate relief for breakthrough cancer pain ... in patients who have been taking opioids for long periods of time. The formulations, referred to as transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl products, or TIRF products, can kill patients who take them without having first developed tolerance. But they were prescribed to patients who had no tolerance, and for migraines or dental pain, the team at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health said. The U.S. is suffering through an epidemic of opioid abuse. Opioids, including prescription opioids and heroin, killed 42,000 people in 2016. At the same time, the CDC reported last year, the number of prescriptions for the painkillers tripled from 1999 to 2015. The FDA set up a special plan to control [TIRF products], called a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy. The FDA asked one of its expert panels ... to help review how the strategy for the TIRF opioids has been working. It has not worked as designed, the Johns Hopkins team said in testimony given to the panel. The strategy has "generated red flags for years," the team said in written testimony. "FDA had evidence as early as April 2016 that TIRFs were being prescribed for many patients who were not opioid tolerant," they wrote in their testimony. "Of more than 25,000 patients receiving TIRFs, as many as 51 percent were not opioid tolerant."
Note: A recent CNN report titled, "The more opioids doctors prescribe, the more money they make" shows how doctors have profited from over-prescribing these dangerous drugs.

Memphis police accused of using fake accounts to surveil black activists
2018-08-01, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
A trove of documents released by the city of Memphis late last week appear to show that its police department has been systematically using fake social media profiles to surveil local Black Lives Matter activists, and that it kept dossiers and detailed power point presentations on dozens of Memphis-area activists. The surveillance project was operated through the Memphis police department's office of homeland security. In a deposition for a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union over the information gathering, officials said it ... began to focus on "local individuals or groups that were staging protests" [around 2016]. This included the publication of daily joint information briefings on potential protests and known protesters. The briefings regularly included information about meetings on private property, panel discussions, town halls, and even innocuous events like "Black Owned Food Truck Sunday". A good deal of that information appears to have been obtained by a fake MPD Facebook profile for a "Bob Smith", which the ACLU said was used "to view private posts, join private groups, and otherwise pose as a member of the activist community". The briefings, which contained ... photographs, dates of birth, addresses, and mental health histories were distributed beyond the department according to the ACLU lawsuit, to a number of local businesses including the region's largest employer FedEx and the county school district.

'Stand your ground' has become a get-out-of-jail-free license to kill
2018-07-30, USA Today
As has happened before in Florida, "stand your ground" is being appropriately scrutinized in the aftermath of the shocking shooting death of Markeis McGlockton, an unarmed black man who was gunned down for trying to protect his family - including his young children - in a dispute over a handicapped parking space. The local sheriff concluded that shooter Michael Drejka pulled the trigger because he was in fear, and therefore stand your ground applied. According to this inexplicable interpretation of the law, Drejka needed to defend himself from a man who ... was backing away from the confrontation. Florida's stand your ground law emerged as an outgrowth of the traditional "castle doctrine," which allowed individuals to defend their home (or "castle") with whatever force was necessary. Somehow, that concept has been warped into a virtual get-out-of-jail-free card that is essentially a license to kill. Five members of Congress, including three U.S. senators, have called for the Department of Justice to investigate why stand-your-ground immunity was extended to a man carrying a concealed weapon who angrily approached a car ... and created a confrontation. Had McGlockton been the one to pull out a gun, there is no way stand your ground would have been extended to him, a man of color. The Journal of the American Medical Association has reported a significant increase in unlawful homicides since stand your ground was enacted in Florida in 2005.

Category: Machine Gun Preacher News Posted by: admin For Gerard Butler, there was a lot of practice before he preached.
Butler took time with 'Preacher'
Article Date: September 9, 2011 | Publication: Toronto Sun | Author: KEVIN WILLIAMSON
Source: Toronto Sun
The 41-year-old Scottish actor spent more than a year developing the emotionally harrowing drama Machine Gun Preacher with director Marc Forster (Monster's Ball) and screenwriter Jason Keller.
In the fact-based film, Butler stars as Pennsylvania "hillbilly" Sam Childers, a violent, drug-fuelled criminal who, after finding God and reforming his home life, travels to the Sudan and builds an orphanage to protect young victims of slaughter and kidnapping from the Lord's Resistance Army.
When his humanitarian efforts are met with brutality, Childers doesn't so much turn the other cheek as pick up a grenade launcher. Put it this way: Machine Gun Preacher may be one of the few films that both fans of Rambo and The Blind Side can appreciate equally.
"He's one of the most interesting characters you could come across," Butler says in a downtown Toronto hotel.
"This is me growing up in a way. I think as you grow up you learn more and hopefully get better at your craft and take on more. This was a chance to be involved with a complex character who has so many things going on inside him -- as well as outside of him -- and try to encompass all of that.
"We had mammoth sessions of eight or nine hours in a day, where Jason, Marc and I really bonded and kept working to hone this script and make this story as powerful as possible ... I felt very involved in it. When I started shooting, I was already deeply plunged into his psyche."
A mindset that was darker than any he'd portrayed before, he adds.
"I've taken dark roles before -- 300 or Phantom of the Opera. I spent months making Phantom alone and depressed. As much as enjoyed it, I was in a lot of pain through that movie. But the Phantom didn't have to deal with children dying around him, fighting to save those children -- and losing."
After unspooling at the Toronto International Film Festival, Machine Gun Preacher opens across the country Sept. 30.

Due to a change in federal regulation, the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) was discontinued on July 1, 2010. This change does not affect your current loans. In accordance with this change in regulation, Lander University has transitioned all Stafford Student Loans and Parent (PLUS) Loans to the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program effective with the fall 2010 semester. This means funding comes directly to Lander from the federal government rather than be funded by various lenders. The Stafford Student Loan is now the Federal Direct Student Loan and the Parent PLUS Loan is the Federal Direct PLUS Loan, only the source of funding and the servicer of the loans have changed.

See how Victaulic is using Qlik to overcome their Business Intelligence challenges and improve their business performance.
Manufacturers confront tremendous challenges these days. Companies face constant pressure over the whole value chain to innovate product and services, increase sales through deeper customer intimacy, and to operate more efficiently with fewer resources. As a leader in visual analytics Qlik allows users to reveal insights in complex data to meet these challenges. Watch and learn how Qlik's visual analytics can reveal the whole story in Manufacturing data, resulting in better performance and increased competitiveness.
"Having control over our entire supply chain and being able to analyze trends using an intelligent system brings us more value than could ever be expressed in monetary terms."
"The impact of Qlik has been far reaching. Its simplicity of use and the valuable contribution it has made to business processes have made Qlik a strategic asset to our operations."
"Our 'Value Plus' initiative aimed at delivering sales and marketing excellence has been a very successful project for Amcor Australasia. It has been so successful, because we managed to align corporate strategy with the day-to-day performance of the business units and QlikView is a big part of this."
"In less than two months, we were able to realize a complete ROI and reach new levels of analysis that would have required the hiring of four additional analysts."
"Everyone had their own measurement when we got started, there were multiple versions of the truth. This was why we created the C-DIVE: Commercial – Data Insights Visualization Engine app. It enables AGCO to better track commercial activities as well as our ability to execute our marketing and sales plan, helping us to achieve our retail and market share targets."
"Before we selected Qlik, various proofs of concept were evaluated, including SAP and Tableau. But it was Qlik which immediately made a lasting impression, thanks to the enterprise readiness of the tool. It was partly thanks to this first impression that we opted for Qlik. And it works."
"With only three months to deploy and limited bandwidth from our IT team, we went into this project knowing we would need to rely heavily on the vendor. Qlik Consulting was able to quickly understand the idiosyncrasies of our business, digest the complexity of the project and lay the proper foundation needed for our team's success."

Hands down! Animation's finest!
Inside Out is definitely one of animation's biggest benchmarks in the history of the animated. So good a movie! It is not just entertainment, it is edutainment. If you pay attention you would be logically thrilled as well. It is like the inception of animation. Only simpler to understand yet intricate at so many levels!
This has to be placed amongst the greats. Not only is this movie extremely hilarious, it is also very dramatic, highly educative, and morally impeccable.
Taking up two big plots simultaneously in the vanguard was a Herculean task per se. But Pete Doctor and Ronaldo Del Carmen merge them just fine to weave an excellent coming-of-age story of Riley whose life decisions are technically controlled by voices in her head. We have Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust that literally define the head of our protagonist.
The concept is simply outstanding. Notions that define how we feel have been brought to life by Pixar's amazing animation and they look downright perfect. Thoughts, memories, imagination, sub-conscious every area of a human brain has been beautifully and subtly portrayed using humorous characters as props. Watch out for the adorable Bing Bong!
The drama is absolutely melting. So warm and so right that it beats every non-animated drama flick to pulp. The Bing Bong fate and the gloom of the memory dump are the most melodramatic bits in the movie that would uproot your heart away.
Michael Giacchino's music is simply amazing. The composition is quite soothing. He stops playing his notes at dramatic bits for emphasis and then lightens up the mood, after the grim passes. Really thoughtful!
There are valued lessons strewn all across the movie that just feels so right, and have been exploited in the right amounts. Humour is always lurking around in the corner even in the direst of circumstances and you end up laughing every time. Amy Poehler's voice makes Joy, well you know, joyous. Phyllis Smith's voice as Sadness is quite endearing. Bill, Diane, Kyle and Richard just make everything better.
Oh and there is an amazing short called Lava that plays in the beginning! Giving you a heads up there! Exceptional stuff!

1pm: coffee with a splash of soy
5pm: coffee
9pm: 2 veg burgers and 200 calories of mixed veggies
Ran the same schedule on that treadmill (2, 2, 1, 1) but not gimpy at all! It was tiring, yes. When I got done, I hurt, but not as much as the past few days. Good news! Now to figure out why. Possible causes
- I ate protein earlier in the day before workout.
I slept late.
I carbo loaded with tequila last night.
New shoes. (I really doubt this, they allow me to pronate too much)
Effect of serious stretching of quads and hams after yesterday's workout.
I'm injuring myself and killing my nerves and making them numb. :p
My tolerance to this particular discomfort is increasing.
My muscles are actually adapting.
The rest of my cardio and lifting was pretty strong today, so I'm inclined to think it has something to do with rest and nutrition. If only I could get enough sleep to do this every day!

That's all good and well, but the Resort Lock doesn't solve the problem of the previous poster with the interior hallways and strict HOA enforcement. Also, are you recommending Resort Lock for everyone or just people who don't live near their rental? If you are going through your rental for inspection upon each check-out, then how is it difficult to change the code each time (takes me 30 seconds)? If you have a third-party management company do your check-out inspections then can't they change the code themselves? With all the extra expense of the initial purchase plus recurring fees, a one-time price of $100 for some of the standard keyless locks seems much more feasible.
I'm not sure if this is a thread about keyless lock brands and usage in general or specifically for people who cannot manage their rental and/or who live far away. I think it is important to differentiate as there have been numerous posts in this thread from people in different situations.
31. Re: Keyless entry experience?lauraps97 Oct 17, 2011 4:49 PM (in response to kingfisher)
I started with a Kwikset keypad on one house and Shlage keypad on the other. The Kwikset batteries kept dying and ultimately it got stuck and wouldn't open. I had researched the locks that have the programmable software and decided to give eRentalLock a try. They use the same Shlage keyset but it has been reprogrammed to work with their software. You can enter a date range in the software and it generates a keycode that only works during that date range. With the other keysets, I would have to go out and erase the codes after people left which was a pain. This way, it expires automatically. The Shlage locks are very sturdy and while they do require batteries, they don't require a lot of "juice" because it doesn't actually turn the lock - it only engages the lock so the person entering can turn the lock and enter. I paid $329 (they are offering it for $299 right now) which is about 3x the cost of the regular Shlage lock at Lowes. They look the same, but you cannot use the eRentalLock software with the one you buy from Lowes (I tried). I think it's worth it and will be replacing my remaining regular Shlage lock with another eRL lock soon.
Also, I noticed eRentalLock just came out with an audit tool to download information on who has entered and exited the property and when - not sure I need this, but looks like a handy tool!
32. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 7:30 PM (in response to lauraps97)
Again, this is assuming you or the owner is not managing the place or doing inspections. Otherwise, changing the code is the easiest part of doing a check-out. Aside from the initial cost, are there recurring fees with the lock you bought for $329 as well?
33. Re: Keyless entry experience?lauraps97 Oct 17, 2011 7:59 PM (in response to kingfisher)
There are no recurring fees. The software is pretty straightforward and you can even set it up to generate an email with instructions to the tenants.
FYI, I'm also in AZ Where is your property? I have two - one in Tempe, and one in Gilbert.
34. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 8:26 PM (in response to lauraps97)
Oh, that's good to know. So it's not like Resort Lock then I guess. I'm in N. Central Phoenix near the Pointe Hilton at Tapatio Cliffs. I have three units here and live on property so I don't have to worry about remote management.
35. Re: Keyless entry experience?skiandglee Oct 17, 2011 8:34 PM (in response to swlinphx)
Wow, feel like I'm being attacked and need to defend my post! ok, I'll bite.
I do recommend ResortLock to everyone, even if they do live near by the property based on my experiences. I will give you both my houses if you can enter 14 codes in 30 seconds, even 5 codes in 30 seconds, you can have them. You must enter the 6 digit programming code, press schlage button, then press 1, then press the 4 digit code, press the 4 digit code again and then, I test the code to be sure it really works. That's a lot of button pressing. I do NOT inspect the property after each renter, my inspector/cleaners do. I was previously having them delete each code for me, when they got low, I would make a trip to the house to enter them all as stated above.
There are NO recurring fees with ResortLock, it's a one time price of $299 or $399 depending on which lock you buy. The cheapest Schlage you can get is $129. The iLink Schlage which allows you to control through the internet is $199. So if $100 is going to break the bank then you have bigger problems...
As I stated, I have all of them. Even had the Kaba lock and gave it away. I use the Schlage $199 iLink locks for my owner's closets because my alarm system has the communications with it already built in. I HAD the Schlage locks that were non-iLink and I like them as well but had to enter new codes after the 14 that I was using were deleted. I was lucky my cleaner/inspector was willing to do the code deletions for me, some may not be so lucky.
Hope this clears things up.
36. Re: Keyless entry experience?skiandglee Oct 17, 2011 8:36 PM (in response to swlinphx)
ResortLock does not have recurring fees, they don't even need software, you can access the code generation through their website from your computer, your phone, your ipad...
37. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 8:42 PM (in response to skiandglee)
All I have to do is press the program button once and enter a code and test it (and again if I want a second code). Maybe takes me 1-2 minutes tops. Secondly, I can't imagine needing 14 codes. I keep one master code and one revolving code for each unit. Finally, you just addressed the point I was making as you aren't managing your own place or doing inspections. If you are paying for the extra expense of separate management and the more expensive locks that is fine, but it's a lot more money than I need to spend and doesn't accomplish anything any better or easier for me. The locks I bought average around $100 (one even less). Again, changing the code is the easiest part of processing a check-out; I wish the rest of it were as easy though, LOL.
38. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 8:46 PM (in response to skiandglee)
I can see how that'd be handy if I lived far or wasn't going thru my units upon check-out. The whole process (inspecting, resituating, replensihing, refunds, etc.) can take anywhere from 1.5 - 4 hours, depending on how things are left and what may be needed.
39. Re: Keyless entry experience?skiandglee Oct 17, 2011 8:47 PM (in response to swlinphx)
I DO manage my own properties! I do not pay others to manage them, I do pay others to clean them, I pay others to service my hot tubs and pools but does that mean I don't manage them?
I average 30-35 renters per house per year so I need a lot of codes. Even at 14, I was having to re-enter them 3 -4 times a year.
Hey, if they are working for you, then you can't argue with success! Good luck and be happy that a $100 (or less) lock works for you!
40. Re: Keyless entry experience?lauraps97 Oct 17, 2011 9:00 PM (in response to kingfisher)
I manage my own properties and I live in Chandler AZ. I was originally doing the same thing- I had a rolling code for the Kwikset lock (it only held two codes) and I reprogrammed after each stay. The Schlage holds more so I pre-programmed all that would fit and then just wiped out the used codes after people left.
The challenge is that by doing this, the codes are good from the time you program them until you wipe them out. To eliminate any potential issues with people accessing the property early (which might not be that likely, but I don't want to take chances), I was sending out the code the day before. That works ok, but it seems the renters are more comfortable having the codes further in advance. I collect the full balance two weeks before the renters arrive and that seems like the best time to send them the code plus any other info. If they end up having questions, they have plenty of time versus only one day before when they are preparing to travel. With the eRentalLock I can generate the code in advance and I know it will not work until they check in, and it will not work after they checkout. I sometimes don't get to do the walkthrough until several days later (I work full time, so it's not like I have time to pop by these properties every day). It gives me a peace of mind that the properties are not being accessed during times they aren't supposed to be.
I did look at the ResortLock and it's very similar in concept to the eRentalLock. I didn't opt to go with it because frankly it looks ugly and I like the look of the Schlage locks.
41. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 9:25 PM (in response to skiandglee)
I misunderstood. I thought you meant 14 codes per property. I'm just saying that if you don't have that many units and live nearby the $100 locks are pretty much the same as the remote locks without the remote access and timed codes. It is the software and wireless communication that raises the price, not the hardware or functionality of the mechanism. My point is you don't need to pay more than about $100 or so if you don't need remote management. There is no way to know each poster's situation on here so I don't want others to spend triple if they don't need to is all.
42. Re: Keyless entry experience?swlinphx Oct 17, 2011 9:35 PM (in response to lauraps97)
See, that's why it's important we all clarify and understand each other's situation. I don't give the codes and small details until they check in, but I check each party in personally (athough I do use self-checkout). I provide a check-in sheet & guide with check-out instructions also, as well as keys to gates and other necessities, and have them sign final contract copies, etc. I also show them some feature of the unit and answer final questions. The point of all this is that what lock you use (and need) depends on many factors that we all may not realize about each other's process & procedures.
43. Re: Keyless entry experience?sttt Oct 17, 2011 11:58 PM (in response to kingfisher)
I've used the the RL2000 for 3+ years on two condos located far from my home. They are waterfront units, the locks are somewhat protected behind a screen door but still corrosion is a constant battle. So far they've faired well. I replace the batteries every 6-12 months, long before the recommended time frame of up to 2 years.
The sealed key pad of the RL 3000 was new to the market at the time I purchased the RL2000. I was told that the biggest drawback to the flush key pad is that it was not replaceable hence I went with the RL2000
At a cost of about $40 per lock I also replaced the Schlage tumbler assembly with one of Schlage's more unique higher security cylinder/key systems. Blanks are only available at certain Schlage approved locksmiths.
I keep a back up key in a lock safe on premise.
I also purchased the programming software and Ibutton keys which I issue to my housekeeper and property manager. I wanted the ability to survey the lock to recover the last 1000 or so entries but to date I have not used it. The Ibutton keys are appreciated by property management and my housekeeper.
For guest codes I most often use the free web service which has performed flawlessly and at no cost. Both the software and website have the ability to issue single use codes which I have used to "show" the unit to prospective guest. I have also issued single use codes to tradesman and appliance delivery crews.
For a recent bathroom remodel that went long over schedule I was able to somewhat gauge the progress of the contractor based on his need for successive codes. All of this is done with about 1500 miles between me and the properties and my only being able to visit once or twice a year.
It has not been without incident however; in the past three years I have had 4 issues.
1. One of my first guests was using her fingernails to stab at the keys which throws them temporarily out of alignment and lock them in the down position. Since that time I've asked my guests to use fingertips only and the problem has not cropped up again.
2. One guest just couldn't gain access one night. I told him the key safe combo and he got in. According to him the lock was working again the next morning and I now suspect somehow the lock got drunk.
3. A family member was locked out one evening and contacted me for the key safe combo. Calling tech support the next morning we determined the lock was flawed internally. It was out of warranty but ResortLock replaced it at a nominal cost together with the cost of my shipping the defective lock back to them for rebuilding.
Those three issues all occurred on the same unit. The 4th problem was the most serious and occurred on the 2nd unit after 3 years of near constant use. I was fortunate to be on island at the time and am also very handy. I dismantled the lock and discovered that the wire that powers the actuator motor simply broke off the terminal. I jury rigged a temporary fix and once again ResortLock supplied me with the replacement parts at a nominal cost.
I have since purchased a 3rd ResortLock which I maintain as a back-up replacement.
My list of issues may seem long but I am not at all discouraged primarily since shortly before I installed the ResortLocks in the days when all I used was a key safe, my housekeeper reported to me that someone had entered the condo one evening and spent the night leaving behind an unmade bed, cigarette buts and some unfinished beverages in the fridge. Luckily no body was hurt and no property was damaged or stolen but certainly soured me on key safes or flower pots as a primary means of key security.
That being said however I wouldn't be without a keysafe and a ready cell phone or some other strong backup plan. I recommend ResortLock but have also told the company I wish they would spend an extra few buck to insure sturdy mechanical components.
44. Re: Keyless entry experience?locksmithmyrtlebeach Oct 18, 2011 2:36 PM (in response to tfv)
TFV,,,, youll have to add an electric strike to the frame (where the latch secures into the door frame) doing that will allow you to either add a small black box on the outside of the door next to the frame, not near the lock or on the door itself. That small black box is a RFID reader (uses a small key fob) or you can do a small code key pad that can mounted anywhere outside the unit., this will allow guests into the unit and will actually be more secure than any code lock on the market. THe hoa will be happy because that same lock is in place on the door. If you have wifi in your unit you can even monitor the doors actions live online If you go that route it is a little more expensive but the the benifits are way more advaced than any code lock on the market since you can actually log into the lock by internet or even by phone. Price varies on what you want it to do really, but could be comparritive to code locks., If interested in more information let me know, there are quite a few systems out that to pick from,,,

The checklist 50 Classics for Your Closet, found at Matchbookmag.tumblr.com, has been repinned (including by me!) endlessly on Pinterest, and is one of those "items you have to have" lists that I don't really like as a whole, but often follow loosely. Just like the 10 classic items in Parisian Style that I am working on collecting!
So I thought I would take a really good look at the list of 50 Classics, and see what I already had, how often I wear said piece, what pieces I don't have, and whether I would like to get these missing pieces. Today, I will look at their Footwear selection:
- Ballet Flats
- Loafers
- Sneakers
- Sandals
- Black Pumps
- Tall Boots
I am in love with ballet flats - they are great for mums who are running around, but they are still nice and feminine. When buying ballet flats, make sure they have some arch support. A lot have perfectly flat insoles, and after a few hours, your feet will be killing you! I love the Emma ballet flats from Lands' End; they are reasonably priced (and are on sale now!), super comfortable and come in a range of colours and styles. I have pairs in classic black, denim and tan and these three colours go with almost my whole wardrobe. I would love to add a pair of leopard print ones, though!
Louenhide. They are also on sale at the moment!
I think most people have a love/hate relationship with sneakers, especially when they think of the white athletic type. I want to state from the outset - white athletic sneakers are not shoes, they are sports equipment, and therefore should only be worn when engaging in sport/exercise. However, there are literally thousands of "fashion" sneakers that are a great addition to a casual wardrobe. Paired with casual pants, like jeans or cords, sneakers are a great option, especially for mums that are constantly running after young toddlers! I am not against white sneakers, but I generally prefer either black sneakers, or brightly coloured ones. Mine are from Ecco, but Puma, Adidas and numerous other brands also make some great ones. I also like the old-school tennis shoe type, like the ones by Bensimmon or Superga.
What would summer be without sandals? I really believe you need two types of sandals - one for day and one for night, or at least one that can cross between both, like the metallic wedge above from Talbots. In my opinion, go cheaper with your day sandals. If you are like me, you tend to wear them at the beach, at the park, as well as your general day-to-day business, and so, they get grotty and worn out much sooner than other shoes on this list. My current day sandals are from Talbots, a simple white leather T-strap sandal with a super-summery cork insole.
For evenings out, I like either a heeled sandal, or a jewel-embellished flat. I had a jewel-embellished flat from Talbots, exactly the same style as my white ones but in a champagne metallic with bronzy gems on them, but unfortunately the gems started falling off almost immediately, so they were returned. The pic above is the ones I am currently wearing. They are a bit day-time for me (and I wear them a lot in the day time), but for now, they will do. I do like the nude colour, as they go with almost everything and make my legs look like they go on forever!
A love me a pair of tall boots, but out of the six shoes listed, these are the ones I wear the least. I think this is because they are so season specific, and here in Western Australia, our winters are just not very long. Despite that, I still have two pairs, a black flat pair, and a brown suede heeled pair. I love wearing them over the top of skinny jeans or with knee-length skirts. I also think they would look amazing with this season's mid-length skirt, too.
So there is my round-up of Matchbook's footwear selection in the 50 Classics For Your Closet, and so far, so good. Not only do I have all of them, I wear all of them as well. Stay tuned for the second part when I will go through their accessories selection!

Birch Abnormal Growth Syndrome (BAGS) aka. Mouse Ear DisorderCarl Rosen, Extension Soil Scientist and Karl Foord, Extension Educator
The strange leaf symptoms on this river birch tree, taken on August 7 (Photo 1, left) were diagnosed as birch abnormal growth syndrome or BAGS. New leaves are severely stunted and take on a mouse ear appearance. For many years the cause of this disorder was a mystery, but it is now known to be due to a deficiency of nickel.
Photo 1 (left): River Birch 'Summer Cascade' at planting time showing symptoms of nickel deficiency (BAGS). Photo taken August 7, Karl Foord.
Nickel is an element only recently shown to be essential for plant growth and is required in very small amounts. Almost all soils have enough nickel to support plant growth, but under some conditions, nickel deficiency can still occur. The mouse ear symptoms on this river birch were first seen when growing in a peat-based container mix, and were initially misdiagnosed as bud damage from a late frost. However, after the tree was transplanted into the soil in mid-May, the symptoms, after continuing for the next few months, have now begun to appear normal.
Based on research conducted at the University of Minnesota and in other areas of the country, BAGS almost exclusively occurs on river birch when grown in peat-based media and can be corrected by soil or foliar applications of nickel.
Photo 2 (right): Close up of 'Summer Cascade' river birch leaves with BAGS. Photo taken August 7, Karl Foord
Research has also shown that when soil is added to the peat media (20-30% by volume), the nickel deficiency symptoms will not occur, suggesting that there is enough nickel in the added soil to meet the nickel requirements of the plant.
In cases where the symptoms are most severe, an analysis of the peat has shown excessively high levels of zinc. These high levels of zinc in the peat likely accentuate the nickel deficiency. Therefore, adding soil to the peat mix may help by 1)alleviating BAGS symptoms by adding the needed nickel, and 2) by tying up or diluting some of the excessive zinc in the peat.
Photo 3 (left): Up close. Mouse ear symptoms of nickel deficiency on peat-based media. Carl Rosen.
As shown by the picture taken on September 14 (Photo 4, below), the tree has nearly recovered from its mouse ear symptoms and is expected to make a complete recovery once the roots have fully established into the native soil.
In general, BAGS has been a problem most apparent to the nursery industry, as trees showing the symptoms are usually not sold. However, if the problem does occur in containers, it can be corrected with nickel applications or by transplanting to a medium containing at least 20% soil. Soils in Minnesota have enough nickel to support plant growth, therefore nickel application to river birch growing in the landscape is not necessary.

Sports Reporter: Kobe, what happened out there?
Kobe Bryant: We had some blown assignments.
Kobe Bryant: Just didn't really close the game like we should of. You know, we'll make the proper adjustments, it's one game. It's game one. I'm not concerned.
[Music Playing]
Sports Reporter: So, Kobe, what does the team need to do to get back in the series?
Kobe Bryant: I mean, I'm not pointing any fingers, you know, Andrew, Pal, Lamar, just small things on and off the court. Uh, my Gatorade flavor. They gave us orange today, I play a lot better with blue. It's just game two, we're, we're gonna come back.
[Music Playing]
Kobe Bryant: If you guys don't think we're gonna win this series, you're trippin'. You must be on that dope. They're only up three games. Just three. Not five, not fifteen, just three games. I won't be playing in game four. Black Mamba will be playing in game four. I think we all know what that means. I'm the Black Mamba, I'm taking over game four.
Kobe Bryant: They still don't even have, they don't even have my flavor. They don't even have the flavor I like. That's crazy.
[Music Playing]
Kobe Bryant: Want a shot? Anybody want a shot? I figure we should take some shots since my team couldn't make any shots. You know? I just want to see a shot made, in Dallas.
Kobe Bryant: And some of our players just really really sucked. Really, really, really sucked. Pau Gasol [clucks] outta here.
Sports Reporter: There are rumors out there that Pau was going through a break-up. Is this true, Kobe?
Kobe Bryant: What's that gotta do with boxing out and dunking?
Kobe Bryant: If I was his fiance, I would break up with him cause he's not boxing out and dunking. I think women find that attractive. [Sniffles]
Sports Reporter: What does a team have to do to return to a former every season?
Kobe Bryant: Trade all these mother fu**ers but me? Trade everybody. [clucks] Everybody outta here. Gone. And I'm gonna be coach next year. Next question.
Kobe Bryant: Nothing was working. The towels weren't working, the towels weren't absorbing my sweat like they normally do. Gatorade, uh, it didn't quench my thirst. You can't win games with a dry Mamba. The Mamba's gotta be moisturized.
Sports Reporter: What's the one thing that disappointed you the most about the whole series, Kob'?
Kobe Bryant: My teammates just didn't respond to the Kobe face. They just didn't respond to the Kobe face. You guys know the Kobe face, right? Kobe face. Score buckets. Pass to Kobe. Win championships. That's what that face means.
Kobe Bryant: I think the NBA should just cancel the rest of the season. But, you know, who am I to judge?
Sports Reporter: Hey Kobe, how does your legacy...
Kobe Bryant: Fu** Dallas. Fu** Dallas.

Skip to comments.Former Obama Adviser Brews A Different Tea Party (Van Jones)
Posted on 07/31/2011 2:36:09 PM PDT by Drango
Van Jones was President Obama's special adviser for "green" jobs when he was hit with a wave of criticism from conservative pundits about his past associations. The controversy forced him to leave his post in September 2009, but it wasn't the last we'd hear of him.
That same conservative wave went on to make a major splash in Congress through the Tea Party. Jones decided to fight back, founding a group called the "American Dream Movement."
Some people call Jones' group a liberal version of the Tea Party. His inspiration, he tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz, is the silent majority of Americans who he believes oppose Tea Party platforms.
"Sixty to 70 percent of Americans agree that jobs are more important than this debt-ceiling debacle," Jones says. "Sixty-seven percent of Americans agree that we should raise taxes on the wealthiest in a crisis like this. We aren't being represented."
Jones finds it ironic that those who see government as the problem refer to themselves as patriots.
"Everything the Tea Party says about America's government is how terrible it is," Jones tells Raz. "You can't take a wrecking ball, paint it red, white and blue, call yourself a patriot, and then smash down every institution that made America great."
While anger is usually more effective at mobilizing political movements, Jones says his group has been successful with a more optimistic message.
Referring to the first Tea Party gatherings in summer 2009, Jones says, "We had twice as many house meetings to start our movement as they did. They had 800, we had 1,600."
Jones says his group now has 127,000 members.
The "American Dream Movement" has three major policy planks: Raise taxes on the wealthy to Clinton-era levels; responsibly draw down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; and investi in public infrastructure to combat unemployment.
Jones says infrastructure projects can be financed in smart and efficient ways. But he's aware of a challenge: "We're not even focused on the smart ways to get Americans working because we're chasing the Tea Party down the street."
Jones' lemonaide smells like pee. No thanks, I will stick to real Tea.
Progressive Nationalist Socialist Progressive Party = American Dream Movement. NPR should call a spade a spade, but as par, NPR is nothing but a progressive playground for progressive and socialist word semantics. =.=
As is most of the Presidents Czars but nobody really focuses on them.
"Jones finds it ironic that those who see government as the problem refer to themselves as patriots."
Well, this only points out how ignorant Jonesy is. The writers/signers of the Constitution were very, very wary of the potential of centralized gov't power and drafted the Constitution accordingly....and is why we are a Republic.
The left is still trying to start a grassroots movement from the top down?
It didn't work with the Coffee Party or Air America despite all the MSM support.
Most of the people who work for NPR, at least on the "talent" side (on-air people and writers) are communists, and everyone knows it. It's pretty obvious. They don't mention it, as a rule, but they don't really try to hide it. They used to, but not anymore.
Sounds like more of a Malt Liquor party to me...
But according to Jones, it was these institutions that made American great! I assume he means welfare, HUD, Fannie and Freddie, the EPA, the FDA, the Dept. of Education, etc.
Yes, it was government that made America great. What a bonehead.
"Coldcock. You never see it coming."
NPR is funded by Soros, like Van Jones, this is merely a spin piece to pick up the shattered remains of what Glenn Beck forever exposed in 2009.
Van Jones is merely a Marxist revolutionary, charged with taking from the White Community and giving it to Minority Communities via wealth redistribution.
NPR wants the same things...NPR is Van Jones and vice-versa.
""Everything the Tea Party says about America's government is how terrible it is," Jones tells Raz. "You can't take a wrecking ball, paint it red, white and blue, call yourself a patriot, and then smash down every institution that made America great." "
Sure, like the Rural Electrification Commission, Food Stamps, Aid to Families With Dependent Children, and Public School, and let's not forget the BATF and the Fed. Those are the institutions that have made America great, alright. The Founding Fathers are doing flip-flops in their graves because TEA partiers don't want to write another blank check for another trillion dollars of more of the same.
"Hi, I'm Van, your server. You want fries with that?"
Here is a great new campaign slogan for his new party.
It's the Institutions, stupid.
Neither the Communist or Blank Panther parties are new.
Why would NPR want to tell the truth about Obama's communists, or most other things? In fact, Nina Totenberg, NPR's top media slut, conveniently forgot to tell her readers that the Mexican nation (who had lived in Texas since he was 2 years old) and was recently executed, was executed for the murder of his young female victim.
She only wrote that he was convicted of raping her (again conveniently leaving out the torture inflicted on this 12 year old by his shoving a stick with a sharp piece of metal on its tip, up her genitals).
The killer was a psychopath but according to Totenberg, he wasn't. Just that he had his "rights" as a Mexican national to talk to his consulate, denied (a fact that numerous appeals courts said would NOT have altered any of his convictions from rape to murder).
I think a great injustice was done by just executing this psychopath. They should have executed Totenberg for posing as a journalist, and for being a lying propagandist for illegal Mexican criminal aliens.
We need some journalistic standards and if we have to thin the herd in order to keep them at some minimal level, so be it. Let the BBQ begin.
I was a card-carrying journalist who covered Congress, DC events, and then went to Vietnam/Cambodia. I'm totally ashamed of what has happened to a once honorable professor, and I blame media hags like Totenberg and NPR for lowering the standards below the bottom of a cesspool.
Too many leftist journalists have some much American servicemens' blood on their hands. It is time that they paid with their careers. Unfortunately, we can't execute them for treason but the thought is very appealing. (Burchett, Hersh, Spragen, Luce, Matthews (for Cuba), Jack Anderson/Drew Pearson, etc).
127,000, That's a movement? I suppose for ed schultz or randi rhodes it might be but come on. On the national mall it would look like a Reunion of has beens, And I'll bet they would leave a mess to be cleaned up, NPR would say there were over a million Patriotic Americans peacefully protesting cuts from the Radical Tea Party Congressmen.

Turbine Hall, Johannesburg
Built as a power station for the city of Johannesburg in the late 1920s, Turbine Hall's distinctive architecture reveals the unique history of this venue.
The building continued to function on and off as a back-up power supply for the city into the 1970s, when it was used as a standby and for peak loading periods.
Today, its triple-volume space and underground areas are all built around the old power station, with the original coal hoppers and turbines used as design features in the refurbished building.
Ensuring that the building remains a pristine heritage site was always part of the plan for the revitalisation of Turbine Hall. This meant that its transformation from the Jeppe Street Power Station – which was the last and largest of three steam-driven power stations built in Newtown to supply electricity to Jo'burg – to event venue was done with 'the utmost respect and sensitivity'.
The successful combination of old and new has resulted in a modern space that acknowledges the building's role in the city's development while at the same time serving Johannesburg's need for a top-quality conference and events venue.
Glynis Hyslop, the Forum Company's managing director, says: 'The new building pays homage to the existing structures in material selection, scale and spatial experience.' Light floods into the venue from new windows and skylights, and the result is 'an intentionally modest external expression with celebrated internal volumes', says Hyslop.
She believes that Turbine Hall's enormous energy and uniqueness mean that its spaces dictate their own usage. For example, 'the soaring basement with the enormous turbine concrete plinths make an extraordinary event space, while the girder room has evolved into a perfect evening bar, and the huge boiler house inspired the lightness of the furnishings', she explains.
The venue is managed by the Forum Company and can accommodate a wide range of events for 10 to 800 people. Visitors to the area can enjoy a drink at the venue's signature bar, or book a private dining experience to fully enjoy this unique inner-city space.
Turbine Hall is situated at 65 Ntemi Piliso Street in Newtown, which can be reached by crossing over the Nelson Mandela Bridge.
Newtown is home to many museums, theatres, restaurants, art galleries, dance studios, craft markets and nightspots. It also hosts regular events and is a managed precinct with 24-hour security patrols.
The Forum Company's renowned 'underground dinners' take place among the turbines of the old power station.
The Turbine Hall hosts an annual art fair in support of South Africa's talented young artists.

capacity to monitor the integrity of our bodies and to be made
immediately aware of injury through the experience of pain is critical
for our survival. However, the central nervous system mechanisms that
translate information about tissue damage into the conscious experience
of pain remain poorly understood. Thus, the central objective of my
research is to better characterize fundamental aspects of pain
processing mechanisms of the brain. Most studies within my laboratory
employ both psychophysical and functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) techniques to explore the relationship between regional brain
activation and discrete aspects of the pain experience.

Release date: Jan 1, 1985
Best line from a review: "Possibly not the worst animated feature the House Of Mouse has produced, but certainly stumbling around the darker recesses of the Disney vault." -Empire Magazine
Reason you forgot about it: The Black Cauldron was not based on a story that was familiar to its audience, and most people agree that it was probably a little too dark for younger viewers.
Release date: Jul 2, 1986
Best line from a review: "It's a lot of fun." -Roger Ebert
Reason you forgot about it: Actually, your guess is as good as mine. The Great Mouse Detective actually did really well critically, but still didn't quite breakthrough to become a classic.
Release date: Nov 18, 1988
Best line from a review: "Billy Joel sang it best: 'Why should I care?'" -Eric Henderson
Reason you forgot about it: Oliver & Company was one of Disney's first films to use computer-assisted animation, which some people found off-putting. It was also released during a low point for Disney.
Release date: Nov 16, 1990
Best line from a review: "I had my first epileptic seizure while watching this film. It was more exciting than this tepid sequel." -Alex Sandell
Reason you forgot about it: Disney has never had much luck with sequels in theaters, and The Rescuers Down Under seemed to be a little too violent for most people.
Release date: May 19, 2000
Best line from a review: "When you have spent $200 million on 'the dumber version of The Land Before Time,' you deserve everything that comes to you." -Tim Brayton
Reason you forgot about it: Dinosaur suffered from the same problem of other visually stunning animated features that came after it. Too much effort was put into the visuals, and not enough was put into a good script.
Release date: Jun 16, 2000
Best line from a review: "Whatever its flaws — from kitschy cupids to racist centaurs — at least the first Fantasia had a human touch. The sequel seems cold and mechanical by comparison." -Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
Reason you forgot about it: Turns out, they already made this movie sixty years earlier.
Release date: Jun 15, 2001
Best line from a review: "… breathtaking animation in service of a story that doesn't hold enough water to drown a rat much less a civilization." -Jeffrey Overstreet
Reason you forgot about it: The animation in this film was incredible, but it seems as though it came at the expense of decent characters and plot.
Release date: November 27, 2002
Best line from a review: "The addition of an insufferable robot named B.E.N. (Martin Short) cripples much of the film's momentum. A friend once dubbed B.E.N. 'the Jar-Jar Binks of animation'" -Matt Brunson
Reason for forgot about it: Taking the classic novel and putting it in a sci-fi setting was a gimmick, overshadowing anything that made the movie worthwhile.
Release date: Nov 1, 2003
Best line from a review: If "the CEO wants to sell teddy bears" isn't going to inspire writers to do their best work, what on Earth possibly could? -Tim Brayton
Reason you forgot about it: Despite doing well, most critics felt the movie was just a retread of other Disney films.
Release date: April 2, 2004
Best line from a review: "Comes across less as a fully realized work of storytelling than as a commercial for a corporation whose goal of entertainment has been replaced by that of making money." -Michael O'Sullivan
Reason you forgot about it: It wasn't so bad that everyone hated it, but it wasn't good enough for anyone to actually enjoy it.
