My Rexona V8 roll-on deo is empty. Just like my soul. But hey, the axe spray is still half full. It's even supposed to turn the wearer into a veritable pheromone factory. Or something.
The last few days have been a rollercoaster of epic proportions for my immune system. It all started a week ago when I turned up at a friends' place to work on a freelance project we were doing together. Once I got there, I was thanked for showing up. Profusely. I was a little confused but I didn't really take much notice. People like having me around. I have that effect on people. Part of it must be the deo.
A few hours into the weekend and having accomplished no work, I questioned the friend about it. He replied that "we'll get to that after the work for the dhane is done".
Right. The dhane.
Wait, what?
Slowly, it dawned on me that he had mentioned something about a dhane being held at his place around this date, about a week ago. A dhane is some kind of local ceremony where you basically throw a big party and invite a boatload of people over for free food. It's also called an alms-giving. The act of feeding people will get you ping. I'm not sure how to explain what ping is. Suffice to say it has nothing to do with computer networks.
So I ended up hauling furniture, scrubbing walls and cleaning light fixtures. My mom would be the last to believe I was even capable of such domestic functions, thanks to me avoiding them like the plague while at home. The next Monday, I go home feeling like my stomach was the Madison Square Garden to a fight between a polar bear and a grizzly. The day after that I was feeling like said bears had punched each other out and were just lying around in my abdomen talking about the days when they used to be prize fighters and not just two lumps of bear sitting around in someones abdomen weighing him down all day so he couldn't even go watch X-Men First Class with his friends. As if said someone ever did anything to them. Just look at em, sitting there swigging beers and taunting me with their ability to eat and drink whatever they please. Next thing you know they'll be dragging a baby seal in there.
Stupid bears.
As of now I'm just about recovering from all this feverishness. Went to the doctor the other day and he gave me a fistful of pills that make me feel drunk. Should be alright by Monday.
Happy weekend, all.

text: So . . . I shudder at the thought, but I really need to be able to edit and render in Sony Vegas, which is Windows only. Anybody have experience with this and can give some advice? I have an early '11 quad core i7 with 1GB video card, but would Vegas even take advantage of it? Also, this computer is in the last year of Apple Care and I feel like it may not be up to the task. But if it is, should I do it in bootcamp? It's HD video so I probably can't afford slowdowns and bottlenecks as a result of virtualization programs. But are those pretty much a thing of the past? If I decide to get a new machine, I'd like to avoid a desktop (need portability) and I'd like to avoid spending $2k again. Is the Intel4000 integrated graphics enough to render HD video in Bootcamp? If so, I'd like to have a MacMini. And if I do that, will a Fusion drive enhance performance on renders? I would appreciate any and all ideas on what sort of a Mac I could edit a lot on using Vegas through windows (if only they made it for Mac), or if I should just give up and get a Windows desktop (gasp) and have something like a MBA for normal computing tasks. Thanks!

No thanks. Alex Jones is not a credible source in any way shape or form, and I learned years ago to take what he says with a grain of salt.
Thanks anyways.
Petroleum ether, also known as benzine, VM&P Naphtha, Petroleum Naphtha, Naphtha ASTM, Petroleum Spirits, X4 or Ligroin, is a group of various volatile, highly flammable, liquid hydrocarbon mixtures used chiefly as nonpolar solvents.
Petroleum ether is obtained from petroleum refineries as the portion of the distillate which is intermediate between the lighter naphtha and the heavier kerosene. It has a specific gravity of between 0.6 and 0.8 depending on its composition. The following distillation fractions of petroleum ether are commonly available: 30 to 40 °C, 40 to 60 °C, 60 to 80 °C, 80 to 100 °C,80 to 120 °C and sometimes 100 to 120 °C. The 60 to 80 °C fraction is often used as a replacement for hexane. Petroleum ether is mostly used by pharmaceutical companies in the manufacturing process. Petroleum ether consists mainly of pentane, and is sometimes used instead of pentane due to its lower cost. Petroleum ether is not technically an ether.[1]
Benzine should not be confused with benzene or benzyne. Benzine is a mixture of alkanes, e.g., pentane, hexane, and heptane, whereas benzene is a cyclic, aromatic hydrocarbon, C6H6. Likewise, petroleum ether should not be confused with the class of organic compounds called ethers, which contain the R-O-R functional group.

Olvasson bele a(z) Freedom of Speech - The Unreachable Mirage [eKönyv: epub, mobi] című könyvbe!
"This volume is a collection of loosely connected essays focusing on major theoretical issues related to freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. The studies in the book present the problems under consideration in the context of specific cases, court decisions, and statutes and attempt to express notions that are less conventional in European legal thinking, in order to achieve both novelty and durability. The collected pieces of work attempt to find some sort of link between the two paradigms of freedom of speech prevalent on the two sides of the Atlantic that are, more often than not, extremely hard to reconcile with each other; this endeavour may be directed either at some sort of synthesis between American and European legal literature or the identification of the-usually different-answers offered to the same problems under the two paradigms. As the author happens to live in a country where, for historical reasons, the modern concept of freedom of speech has been put into practice for scarcely more than two decades, his Central Eastern European approach, which necessarily permeates the work, may even be able to cast new light on the sometimes petrified doctrines of freedom of speech for readers from 'beyond the Iron Curtain'."

George W. Bush mislead the American people into a bloody conflict in Iraq that was completely unnecessary. The Bush administration, history has shown, orchestrated a huge, blatant, complete, falsehood to justify the second gulf war. The Bush administration knowingly did this with extreme hubris. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and Powell should all be tried in the world court and if found guilty should all hang. Bush used the resources: Esp. American military, American tax money, to start a war of "personal" fulfillment. Remember Bush said that Saddam Hussein, quote: "He tried to kill my daddy!" American companies loved the unjust war because their profits went through the roof. Tutu said the Iraq was the most destabilizing event in history. Tutu call for Bush and Blair to be prosecuted for war crimes in the world court. I agree most sincerely.
He invaded Iraq on false & unjustified claims. He coordinated the US military machine to take control of a people and region without consent or the need for US intervention. He killed upwards of a million people. "The Iraq war "has destabilized and polarized the world to a greater extent than any other conflict in history," wrote Tutu, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1984."

It's never too late to bring justice. It's never too late to recognize tyranny and corruption and deal with it. If we say "well, he's out of office now, what good would it do?". The answer is in the question. It would do some good. It would show public officials that there is no statute of limitations on crimes committed by public officials. It would show them that we will hold them accountable for their actions no matter how long the process takes. He should be tried, and if found guilty, hung on the mall in Washington D.C. Publicly. Televise it around the entire planet.
All the evidence is right in your face and so obvious that it's a slap in the face insult to the american peoples' intelligence... Why the cover ups of all the evidence? Why was all the physical evidence swept away before the the 9-11 commission could investigate it. Why was building 7 demolished? And it all was so obvious to be controlled demolitions.. I could go on.. And on.. But won't.. Why bother?
The Bush Administration killed over 4,000 American soldiers and thousands more Iraqis. He's a murderer and has lied to the American people. He and his administration are criminal on the highest levels and need to be brought to justice before there is revolution. Bringing Bush and his administration to justice will also serve to warn and discourage the next administrations from using false flag tactics to take the citizenry to war against their moral wishes. We're living in a new economic-social-political paradigm where the free world, knows the origins of political power and will not tolerate such oppression by fascist entities. The next generation revolution will be worldwide where the power elite can not be protected. We now have complete transparency and are able to target specific perpetrating factions. The Bush administration will pay for the wrongs they have committed starting today. The American, fascist dictatorship is beginning to unravel today. But we must show the world that, we're not afraid to prosecute our own.
The war has destabilised a large region. No WMDs were found, nor any ties with al-qaeda(usa's unofficial army). The bombings were indiscriminate. They used bombs with. Depleted uranium. Civilian centres were deliberately targeted. No proof that Iraq was going to attack usa in any form was found. POW were badly treated and filmed. Some organisations tell that POWs were used for organ harvesting
The U.S. Is a signatory to the 1984/1987 United Nations Convention against Torture, which defines torture as "Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining ... Information ..." U.S. Government officials have said they do not believe waterboarding to be a form of torture --- but it's not up to them to decide that (not to mention use a double standard: in World War II, the United States tried and executed Japanese soldiers for waterboarding American prisoners of war). Article 4 Section 1 of the the Convention requires that "Each State Party shall ensure that all acts of torture are offenses under its criminal law." What is the rationale for the U.S. Ignoring its obligations under the Convention to prosecute these offenses?
This draft dodger, after carefully using his family's influence to avoid his own generations war in Vietnam, sent our boys to die in Iraq based on complete lies to the American people, and sneakily used his influence and all his cronies in Washington to get around it and avoid justice for his crimes. He should be punished just like any other common criminal. My good sir, if the shoe fits, do wear it. You are a criminal. You have done our nation worse than just about any president in our history. You couldn't be a worse president if you had lit the Statue of Liberty on fire and encouraged secession. There is simply no one worse than you, you disgusting, pitiful sack of crap, you criminal, you disgust me, I hope you do pay for your crimes against America one day. If not the American justice system, you'll indeed have god to answer to one day for all the crimes you've committed and the lives you've taken. You make me sick.
The war crimes that so many people are trying to prosecute President Bush for were not his call alone. Congress, other members of staff, and other world leaders all played a very big part in what happened. Do I agree with everything that the president did? No. But do I think he committed war crimes in doing it? No. I would much rather spend that effort keeping this type of thing from happening ever again.
What's the point now? He shouldn't have been voted into a second term, he shouldn't have become our president in the first place. But now it would be like beating a dead horse. I highly doubt he would learn anything. He's a complete idiot, let him just wither away into an old, dumb man.
The Resolution was debated for a year. Citizens had their chance to contact their representatives. The House voted affirmative 296 - 133 , 81 Democrats voted yes. The Senate voted yes 77/22. Democrats voted in majority including Senators Schummer, Kerry, Reid and the democrats Presidential 2016 candidate Clinton. These same democrats turned in 2 years against the war and then when in power supporting Obama pulled U S Troops out of Iraq. This after Obama and Biden bragged that Iraq was stable. This move helped create ISIS. The response on this debate page are so way out left. Really no debate at all.
Bush I, Clinton, and every member of Congress since 1990 that authorized military action would have to be tried right along with Bush II. The history of Saddam's actions and the INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT regarding Saddam's stockpiles of WMDs and history of non-compliance kinda blows the "Bush lied" mantra out of the water. The WMDs were there. The UN documented the existence of the WMDs. The question remains: what happened to the WMDs that the UN had documented, but not destroyed, that were in Iraq when Saddam stopped complying with UN Inspectors in October of 1998? They didn't vanish into thin air and Saddam certainly didn't destroy them out of the kindness of his heart.
Who would try Franklin Roosevelt for war crimes? It's likely that not many people would but most Japanese Americans spent the length of World War II in internment camps, under duress and poor conditions. While it is likely that George W. Bush gave the go ahead for torture at Guantanamo Bay, at this point in time, it does not seem sensible to try President Bush for any crimes he may have committed. Doing so would also be an indication that other US presidents should be indicted by the International Criminal Court. In fact, President Obama would have to be tried for disregarding the sovereignty of Pakistan when Seal Team Six troops stormed Osama Bin Laden's compound. This seems like a silly prospect but by all means, it is against international law, as are drones used in Pakistan. What I'm saying is, to try the international war crimes of President Bush would mean indicting any American president who broke international law.
There is so very much we do not really know about the reasons behind the US wars during the Bush Administration. All conspiracy theories aside, there were a lot of people who made a lot of money during that time and, if anything, Bush was their pawn. We have to look at the much wider picture and that is something that will be done by historians best.

A 2012 Tourtellotte Memorial High School graduate and Thompson native is serving with a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron that flies the Navy's newest and most technologically-advanced helicopter, the MH-60R Sea Hawk.
Airman Hannah Parmentier is an aviation structural mechanic with the "Wolf Pack" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 75, based out of San Diego.
"I've learned a lot while working on this aircraft and I enjoy working with a team," said Parmentier.
The squadron deploys its helicopters and personnel around the world aboard a variety of Navy ships, including frigates, destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers.
While aboard ships at sea, the squadron conducts a variety of missions.
"Our missions aboard ships include tracking and hunting enemy submarines, combatting enemy surface ships, search and rescue, communications relay, and ferrying supplies, cargo and personnel," said Lt. Reagan Lauritzen, Commander, Naval Air Force U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesperson.
As an aviation structural mechanic, Parmentier is responsible for mechanical maintenance of the MH-60R helicopter. She services aircraft panels, hydraulic systems, brakes and work on the air frame.
"I love the environment here at the squadron and I get to learn something new every day," said Parmentier.
The MH-60R Sea Hawk is over 60 feet long, and can weigh up to 23,500 lbs. It is replacing the Navy's older helicopters because of its greater versatility and more advanced weapon systems.
"The MH-60R features more sophisticated electronics, like a new low-frequency sonar and an advanced radar system," said Lauritzen. "The Sea Hawk can also launch torpedoes, fire Hellfire missiles and laser guided rockets, and carry crew served weapons."
Parmentier said she is proud to be a part of the 292-member squadron that is ready to defend America at all times.
"I enjoy the experience of being in the Navy, it's not something I can do in Connecticut," said Parmentier.
Being a sailor assigned to a helicopter squadron and in a deployable status means spending a lot of time away from friends and family, but serving her country makes it worth it for Parmentier.
"Not many people can say they've been away from the United States for eight months at a time," said Parmentier. "I enjoy feeling useful while I'm deployed and helping out as much as I can, it is rewarding."

|Update, January 2012: The array's new name is the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, named after the father of radio astronomy. Jansky was the first to discover radio waves coming from the Milky Way's center. He detected them while searching for sources of static for Bell Labs, which was investigating suitable radio wavelengths for transatlantic telephones.
In honor of his observations, Jansky also shares his name with the unit of apparent brightness used by radio astronomers (the Jansky).
Crowd sourcing has a long history in astronomy, not least when it comes to naming missions and instruments. Both NASA's Mars rover Curiosity and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory have taken their names from public submissions (Chandra began as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, or AXAF). Now there's a whole collection of radio antennas trolling for a new identity.The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is looking for a new handle for the new-and-improved Very Large Array. The array might look familiar from its cameo in Contact; since its dedication in 1980 the suite of telescopes has contributed to studies of pulsars, black holes, and water in the distant universe, among other things. The 27 radio antennas aren't gaining any new members, but the project's becoming an international collaboration with the addition of Canadian and Mexican patronage, and the 1970s-era electronics have been completely replaced. The result is the transitionally named Extended Very Large Array.
The upgrade's goal is to improve all observational capabilities, except for spatial resolution, by at least a factor of 10. The makeover will allow the array to observe everywhere between 1 and 50 GHz (there were some gaps before). Expanding this radio coverage will let astronomers look at a wider range of redshifts, which gives researchers access to different parts of the universe's history.
There are two options for name submissions: you can suggest a "free form" name — that is, basically anything you can type — or just a prefix to go in front of "Very Large Array." Entries will be accepted through December 1st and the new name will debut at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin this January, where yours truly will be listening.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - On today's Real Estate of Mind - Maintenance Fees.
If you are planning to buy a condo or townhouse, you should get familiar with Maintenance Fees and how they are determined. Scott Larimer, a Realtor Associate from Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties dropped by Sunrise this morning with some helpful tips. Check out the video from his interview and his bullet points below.
When should you consider or take into account Maintenance Fees?
Maintenance Fees come into play when you own a condominium or townhouse. When you get pre qualified with a Mortgage Broker or Loan Officer, make sure you budget for Maintenance Fees which are usually charged monthly. If a Single Family Home is part of a Subdivision Development, it might also have Maintenance Fees.
What is a Maintenance Fee?
As an owner of a condo or townhouse, a Maintenance Fee is your portion of the annual budgeted expenses to operate and maintain the common elements of the building. The expenses covered by your Maintenance Fee will vary from building to building. Most often they include water, sewer, landscaping and utilities for common elements.. like a recreation room. If the building has a security staff or front desk, that would also be paid for out of Maintenance Fees. In some buildings (condotels) Maintenance Fees could also cover each unit's electric, gas, basic cable, even central air conditioning costs.
Maintenance Fees can vary from building to building.. from year to year.
Your Maintenance Fee is based on the size of your condo or townhouse and is typically charged per square foot. In Hawaii, fees can be as low as $0.50 a square foot but could go up to and over $1.00 a square foot. Keep in mind, a lower Maintenance Fee usually means fewer amenities. The cost to run and maintain a swimming pool, hot tub, recreation deck, tennis court and front desk operation would result in higher Maintenance Fees.
Are there any other things I should consider?
When you find the perfect home, carefully review the Condo Documents and the minutes from past Owner Association meetings. Check to see if there are any Special Assessments in place or being discussed. It's better to know these things up front.
Also, take a good look at the annual budget (including financial reserves) to see if the Association is pro-actively forecasting and maintaining the building equipment, structure and finishes. According to Hawaii law, Financial Reserves should be 50% of the annual budget for the building.
Click here to see the Waikiki Sunset condo Scott has listed for sale. $399,000 with a monthly Maintenance Fee of $547.

This I Believe
I believe in the power of doing good deeds for other people. I was raised up in a family to always do well to others by helping them in need. When I was little, I would always copy everything my dad would do. He was my role model when I was little; he would always explain to me that doing good deeds is one of the greatest things you can achieve in our religion.
Therefore, every Saturday I would always participate in going to temple, reading Hebrew, and always listening to what the Rabbi has to say in his speech. His speeches would consist of what we just read and what the value of it is and how it connects to real life today. Doing good deeds is more then helping the old woman cross the street, getting the cat down from tree and doing those typical things. It more based on contributing to a community in need, helping people live a happy life, just having an impact on somebody in different ways.
A specific event that happened to me recently, made me realize how much a deed could benefit a person. Getting into a car crash early in to the school year was a reality check for me to realize how I should give more care into driving. Having my dad pay for everything, which I felt he should not because it was my fault for switching lanes and cutting off someone and rear ending somebody, resulted into a hefty payment to fix. However, knowing my dad of course he would pull something off like that and pay it without even thinking twice. Knowing he did something like that for me, I felt the need to help other people. Just things like helping out my friends being there for them when they need me, joining a club called the Resilient Youth Foundation that helps people who are under privileged, and especially helping my dad out when he needs it. I help my dad by doing chores for him that he cant do by himself like getting electronics due to his not having any sense of what's good or what's the best just because he was raised up with no technology what so every. I also try to go to temple with him as much as I can because he loves to have his son by his side during those speeches by the rabbi. And so, I believe in doing good deeds–for my community, for my family, and for myself.

The update includes new icons, a portrait on-screen qwerty keyboard, and a new web browser. The Ovi Maps application as also been updated, and several enterprise features have been added such as hardware accelerated encryption and several other additions related to security and messaging. Also: homescreen navigation is now real-time.
Nokia also announced two new Symbian phones today. First, the Nokia E6, which has a 326ppi display on a qwerty portrait phone. This device is squarely aimed at business users, and I can assure you, at least here in Europe these things are still incredibly popular. I had a E71 myself, and even in the days of the iPhone and Android, it was still quite pleasurable to use.
The second one is the Nokia X7, a 4" touchscreen phone, which looks incredibly beautiful.
So, despite going Windows Phone, Nokia is still getting some Symbian updates out the door, which is good news for owners of the N8, E7, C7 and C6-01, who will be getting this first update over the coming months.

If Vicente Del Bosque needed more people injured prior to their World Cup qualifiers against Estonia and Belgium, another problem emerges. Defender Sergio Ramos did not finish Thursday´s practice after he started feeling pain in his groin prior to Spain´s departure to Tallinn later in the evening.
In the event that Ramos would not be able to play Liverpool´s Álvaro Arbeloa would be the man that would come in and replace the Madrid man.

Crock-pot Cheesecake!!1
August 21, 2012 by liviehwilliams
Yes, you read right. Cheesecake in the crock-pot. I love my crock-pot but after discovering it can be used to make dessert too! Oh boy was I hooked. I made this and it was a huge hit! I came across this about 3 months ago on pinterest,and just had to try it. Glad I did!
What you need:
What you will need: For the crust: 1-2 cups of crushed oreos. (depending how big your Crock Pot is. See below for more info) 3 tablespoons of butter For cheesecake: 3 boxes of cream cheese 3 eggs 3/4 cup sugar Here we go In mixing bowl mix together crushed up oreos. -If you do not have a mixer just put a few oreos in a ziploc and crush them by hand. Do this until you have enough oreos that will cover the bottom of your pan.
Add melted butter to crushed cookies, and mix.
In separate bowl mix together 3 boxes of cream cheese at room temperature, the eggs, and the sugar. Mix until smooth.
Once mixture is complete you can put cookie mixture in the bottom of desire bowl. (You will need a bowl that will fit into your crock pot. A glass bowl works great, but it must be able to get hot)

In The Money Pit, named among America's 100 Most Important Radio Shows by Talkers magazine, Tom Kraeutler and Leslie Segrete combine quick wit and clever advice to help listeners tackle a variety of home improvement and décor projects. It's a series covering every imaginable home repair project, as download or on CD and Mp3-CD. Entertaining and informative, recommended for anyone looking to buy, flip, or repair. Real estate agents can learn a lot, too!
Audiobooks Today) How did the show come about, and how has the audience changed and grown? Who is the typical listener?
Tom Kraeutler) The short answer is I spent 20 years as professional home inspector and was frequently asked to be a guest on radio/tv shows on topics related to homes, home safety, remodeling and decor. In the early 90's this led to an opportunity to host my own Saturday morning call-in home improvement show. That led to an opportunity to syndicate which we did n October of 1999. Now, almost 18 years later, we're the largest home improvement show on radio and heard on over 330 stations, covering every state in the nation, and a few cities in Canada. There's a lot more that happened along the way but this was essentially the path. I eventually left home inspection behind and focused full time on radio. However, there's no way I'd be able to answer all the questions I do without that solid experience learning how homes are put together and how they fall apart.
AT) What is the most heard problem or question, and the most bizarre?
TK) We tend to get a lot of questions about floors (repair, replace, clean stains, fix squeaks and lots of question on the wide variety of flooring choices). We also get lots of questions about energy efficiency, friendly improvements, kitchen and bath remodels, as well as outdoor living.
AT) Putting all the shows on audio is genius, given they eliminate commercials and can be paused or replayed by consumers. What gave you this idea, and what is the production process like….any challenges?
TK) Not my idea. Blackstone approached us actually. Our shows are produced in-house so providing the audio is just a matter of building the files they need for production, which is a higher quality (bit rate) version than what goes out on the radio or by podcast. We remove the commercial breaks but everything else is pretty much the same as the national show.
AT) Vanity Fair is now on audio. Do listen to other radio programs on audio?
TK) No much other radio programs but I like audio books so listen to those a lot when I'm driving.
AT) Used to review for Cracker Barrel stores, which rents audiobooks, and XM. Truckers are big listeners. Do you get many calls from truckers?
TK) Yes, those calls are always fun. It's like "Joe from North Dakota is calling about the Lanai for his home in Florida."

New Delhi: Not willing to give up on the age issue, General VK Singh has filed a statutory complaint with the Defence Minister seeking a re-examination, in a first by an Army chief.
Singh filed the complaint with Defence Minister AK Antony under the Army Act on Friday asking him to take a decision on his date of birth purely on basis of merit and available
However, Minister of State for Defence MM Pallam Raju said, "Where is the controversy? The Ministry has looked into the issue and has given an opinion".
Defence Ministry sources said the complaint was filed by Army chief against the Ministry`s decision to treat May 10, 1950 as Singh`s date of birth instead of May 10, 1951 as
maintained by him.
"I think the view taken by the Ministry is known. You already know the view the Minister has taken," Raju told reporters outside Parliament House.
When asked whether the Chief of Army Staff is upset over Ministry`s decision to fix his year of birth as 1950, Raju said, "I cannot comment on that, but with whatever information
Ministry has taken a view. Why are you making it into a controversy?"
Meanwhile, Defence Minister A K Antony refused to comment on the issue. He asked about the statutory complaint filed by Army Chief.
As per Army rules, the reply to the complaint must be filed within 90 days of it being received by Minister`s
The Defence Ministry had on July 22, decided to fixed his
date of birth as May 10, 1950 on the basis of opinions given
by the Attorney General and the Law Ministry.
The complaint filed by Singh, along with the documents he
has annexed to support his claim, runs into almost 500 pages
and includes all the previous correspondences with the
Ministry on this issue.
The controversy on Singh`s age surfaced in 2008 when he
was considered to be appointed as Eastern Army Commander. The
Adjutant General`s (AG) branch- the official record keeper for
salary and pension- has been following 1951 as Singh`s DoB,
while the MS branch, which looks after promotions and
postings, shows it as 1950.
Singh is slated to retire on June 1, 2012, but if the
other date of birth is accepted, he may remain in office for
another ten months.

Gideon Levy
This is the story of another boy, the seventh in the past few months who was killed for no good reason, this time in the Qalandiyah refugee camp near Ramallah. It's the story of another Palestinian who was shot with appalling thoughtlessness by Israeli soldiers, just as Gil Na'amati, a kibbutz member, was shot last Friday by Israeli soldiers while demonstrating against the separation fence - only in the case of the boy there was no public furore in Israel. It's also the story of an American dream, between Qalandiyah and Jelazoun, which was almost realized but finally was brutally shattered.
Maybe today you'll be lucky. Maybe you wont annoy the soldiers at the checkpoint, or have the misfortune of meeting a psychopath in uniform.
In the spring of 1994, this column published the story of Awad Hindash, a car body-worker from the Jelazoun refugee camp, west of Ramallah. He was shot in the back by Israeli troops for no special reason shortly after the postman had brought him the visa to the United States he had coveted. Hindash was going to marry a California woman and start a new life. He was 23 at the time of his death.
Now, nearly nine years later, Ibrahim Abd el-Qadr, a butcher by trade, shows the new passport of his son, Fares, which contains an entry visa to the United States. Not long before he was to travel with his son to America and remove the boy from the hell of life (and death) in this sprawling refugee camp, this American dream was also aborted in the same way. Fares was shot to death by Israeli soldiers. He was 14 and a half when he was killed.
Awas Hindash was Fares' uncle. Neither of them made it to America.
"Umm Fares" - mother of Fares - is what Ibrahim calls his wife, sending a shiver down the listener's spine. Wafia lost a brother, and now a son. Ibrahim and Wafia are about 40 years old. For most of his working life the bereaved father has been employed in the Mahane Yehuda produce market in Jerusalem, unloading meat for Rafael Itzikashvili, from Georgia, whose shop is on Heharuf Street, next to the falafel stand. Ibrahim is known as Jimzawi in the market, in memory of the family's destroyed village, Jimzu, not far from Lod, on the ruins of which the community of Gimzo now stands.
Over the past few years Ibrahim made three trips to see his brother, in Chicago, in the hope of finding work and moving there with his family. He had had his fill of refugee life and of the danger that threatens the children of the camp at every turn. He especially wanted to get his firstborn, Fares, the apple of his eye, out of harm's way. "I was so afraid for him that I would take him with me to the market, so people wouldn't fill his head with all kinds of stuff," Ibrahim says.
"I wanted to safeguard him but I didn't succeed. I told myself that in another few months he'll finish school and I'll take him to Chicago - and halas. But instead, his time came. There isn't a Jew in the market who doesn't know that this was the plan. I was so afraid for him. In the market, too, I would sit him down next to me. I didn't let him make deliveries in the market, so he wouldn't be in danger. I work like a donkey, and I didn't want him to have the same hard life. The whole market knew that. My whole life I kept chasing ways to get out of the camp, but I couldn't do it."
In the past year Ibrahim decided to leave his job in the market, where he worked hard but made a decent living, he says. "There was tremendous fear lately," he says, "things are such a mess. I left the market and opened a grocery store in the camp in order to watch over my son. To be next to him and give him a place so he wouldn't wander around in the streets." Besides that, he says, "I would board the bus and be ashamed, get off the bus and be ashamed. People didn't talk nicely. They don't know that all the fingers of a human being are the same. But I was ashamed."
The will to resist is strong inside refugee camps, but it is no place for a family, and many would leave if they could find a way out.
His plan was to remove Fares from the narrow alleys of the refugee camp, where danger seethes, next June. Ibrahim had already prepared everything in Chicago: here is Fares' visa, 2B1-B, good for a year, stamped in the Palestinian passport which now rests behind glass in a cabinet in the family home, another commemorative souvenir. They thought they would spend a few years in America, make a little money and return to buy a home outside the camp. The American dream was woven over years: Two of their children were born in the United States, during their visits to Ibrahim's brother and sister, and they have American passports. There is no more compelling fantasy than this in the territories for those who want to escape the hardships of life here. Little Rawan even has an American social security card. She's eating pita with chocolate. Her brother, Mohammed, who is four months old and also the bearer of American citizenship, is wrapped in a pink wool blanket.
On September 21, Ibrahim Abd el-Qadr travelled to Chicago to prepare his son Fares' new chance in life. He registered the boy in a Chicago school and rented a place for the two of them, $600 a month, together with a friend.
The day of Fares' death, Tuesday, December 9, was a day of exams, and Fares got up at 7 A.M. and hurried off to school earlier than usual. He dressed, drank a glass of milk and got his bag ready. Not long ago he finished building a small room, just for himself, that's attached to their small refugee house. Inside is a boy's bed, a few photographs pasted on the plastered wall, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the profile of a couple against a sunset background. He usually got home from school at 2 P.M., but today he was back at noon: It was parents' day. Wafia asked her son to seal the leaking roof of his new room - he had moved in only 10 days before and dad was in America. He and his friend Ahmed took 14 bricks to the roof and did a cursory sealing job.
Wafia had the feeling that he was in a hurry. He put on his most tattered shoes - his mother asked him why he wasn't wearing the new pair from America - and disappeared down the alley. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon," he told his mother, declining to eat.
He was always home by 3:30 P.M., because at 4 P.M. his sister came home, and Fares, the eldest, waited for her to make sure she got back on time. Here is his sister Ranin, wearing a red sweater, just entering adolescence. Everyone looks after the children in this refugee camp, on the road to Ramallah, whose alleys are embellished with the photographs of many martyrs, most of them children.
At 4 o'clock, Wafia started to get worried. He was never late. For the first time in her life, she says, she went into the camp to look for her son. Wearing a robe, she looked everywhere, with the help of her sister. She feared the worst. She went down to the main road, walked along it, but saw nothing - no crowds and no stones. She went by the camp's caf?; maybe someone there saw him. No. She went to Fares' uncle's house, where he spent much time with his cousin; maybe he came for a visit. Nothing. Wafia tells the story. Ibrahim's eyes are downcast. He was in Chicago.
After leaving the uncle's place she met two men, one of whom had blood on his clothes. "When he looked at me, I said: `That is Fares' blood.' Don't worry, he said, Fares is in good condition, with a light wound. I started to scream and shout, until I passed out." She was taken to the government hospital in Ramallah, where she came to. "I started to scream: `Let me see him.' Wait, they said, he's getting stitches and it's best you don't go in. But he was no longer alive. Suddenly I saw all my brothers from Jelazoun around me. I grabbed my brother Ramadan and said: `Go and see about the boy.'" Ramadan dragged his sister out of the hospital forcibly and took her home. Fares' body remained in the hospital morgue until his father could get back from America.
Another light goes out in Palestine.
On average, a Palestinian child dies every two and a half days as a direct result of Israeli military or settler violence.
Ramadan called his brother-in-law in Chicago and told him that Fares had been wounded. "Tell me the truth, is Fares dead?" Earlier, Ibrahim had seen a news flash from Al-Jazeera television reporting the death of a boy in Qalandiyah. Friends from Chicago had called and asked if he had seen the report. The next day he was back in Qalandiyah. Fares was buried on Thursday, December 11, next to the tiny grave of his good friend, Omar Matar. The children were killed in the same way: throwing stones and shot to death. The bullet that was fired at Fares entered his eye and blew up his head. He died instantly.
What actually happened there? According to activists from Machsom Watch, a voluntary group of Israeli women conducting daily observations at military checkpoints to monitor soldiers' behaviour, on December 9 soldiers opened fire at children near the Qalandiyah checkpoint and killed Fares. He was shot in the head after children threw stones at the former airport of Atarot. The game of mutual provocations between stone-throwing children and armed soldiers is an almost daily occurrence at the Qalandiyah checkpoint. Observers from Machsom Watch were witnesses to the killing of the boy Omar Matar in March 2003 there, in an incident that led to an investigation by the Military Police. In the past week alone, the Machsom Watch group supplied three real-time alerts about similar events to the Binyamin District Brigade, to the emergency hotline of the IDF and to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit. Nothing was done to prevent the death of Fares. The killing of the next child is only a matter of time.
The response of the IDF spokesperson: "On the afternoon of December 9, dozens of Palestinian youths disrupted the public order in the area of the security fence adjacent to Atarot Airport. The rioting included the throwing of bricks, stones and hot-water boilers from the nearby rooftops at IDF and Border Police forces that were in the area. The forces used riot dispersal methods, which included also the firing of rubber bullets and tear gas.
"The group of youths, some of whom were in their teens, have been taking part in the disruptions of order there on an almost daily basis in the past few months. A number of IDF soldiers have been wounded in these disruptions of order, and serious damage has been done to the security fence there. Events of this kind occur with the encouragement and support of certain local organizations that make cynical use [of the youths] for their purposes. In the past a number of stone throwers have been apprehended there, and in their interrogation they admitted to receiving payment for taking part in the disruptions of order.
"Regarding the contentions about the boy - they are being examined, and the investigation of the circumstances of the event is still continuing."
Ibrahim's version: "The children have nowhere to play. They are bored. So they go to the main road. The Border Police go by. It is a disgrace for me to lie - if the Border Police want to solve the problem, they solve it, and if they want to make trouble, they make trouble. It's in their hands. Why do they go by there? Why do they get involved with the children? They deliberately stand across from the camp, so the children will start up with them. What do you want from the children? They call out to the children, curse them - `Now I want to bring one of you down.' The children start to throw stones at them and they start shooting. What will they get out of it? A stone is thrown at them from a distance of a kilometre and they start shooting.
"In my mind's eye I can see the soldier who shot Fares. The person who killed Fares did it deliberately. He lives in Afula or Hadera, maybe he isn't a Jew, he is in hell. I have no more to say. Didn't I work with Jews? For Tnuva, in Mea Shearim, in the market - there's no place I didn't work. When I went to Chicago, I asked Moshe if he wanted me to bring him a pair of Levi's. I like every Jew. I have no problems with them. But whoever killed Fares is for sure not a Jew. A Jew would have taken pity on him.
"We were told that soldiers from the Border Police passed by on the main road and started to curse and call names. The children chased them until the airport [the unused airport is the killing field of the children]. Come with me and I will show you what the Border Police is. Stand at the checkpoint and you will see what they do to our children. Sometimes a soldier gets bored? Is there a shortage of birds in the sky? Aren't there pigeons in the sky? Why shoot a child?"

Laser surgery
Hey everyone I'm doing some research on the negative effects of laser surgery such as loss in sharpness of vision, dry eyes, glares at night, etc. I've found some info online but I was curious if anyone has had any personal experience with any of those problems and if so, what was the result?
Greatly appreciate any input! Thanks
4 replies
Wow I'm very sorry to hear about your wife's troubles but glad it has helped her vision. I've had laser several times in each eye but I haven't had any laser since last year but have noticed a loss of sharpness inu vision and awful night glares and not sure if it's from the laser. I'm putting anti reflective lenses on my glasses to see if it will help
My wife had it to improve very poor vision. As a result they found several retinal tears at the back of her eye (and fixed them) which was a good thing. However, she had to go back for adjustments multiple times and has been having to use eye drops every hour (dry eye) for nearly 2 years now. We also suspect that during one follow up exam, while her eye was numb, the scope used to examine the eyeball created a scratch on her cornea which painfully showed up two days later after a dip in a pool (and trip to the emergency room). It's been nothing but a hassle since day 1, but her improved vision she said was worth it. She was 20/200.
Ive had laser many times for diabetic retinopthy and it has not helped my vision.it has just helped stop the blood vessels from regrowing. I cannot drive at all at night because everything had a glare and i have constant dry eyes,but i have to have the laser so i dont go blind…

Barack Obama announces his nomination of Penny Pritzker as Secretary of Commerce. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster.)
This story originally appeared at Truthdig. Robert Scheer is the author of The Great American Stickup: How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street (Nation Books).
The love fest between Barack Obama and his top fundraiser Penny Pritzker that has led to her being nominated as Commerce secretary would not be so unseemly if they both just confessed that they did it for the money. Her money, not his, financed his rise to the White House from less promising days back in Chicago.
"Without Penny Pritzker, it is unlikely that Barack Obama ever would have been elected to the United States Senate or the presidency," according to a gushing New York Times report last year that read like the soaring jacket copy of a steamy romance novel. "When she first backed him during his 2004 Senate run, she was No. 152 on the Forbes list of the wealthiest Americans. He was a long-shot candidate who needed her support and imprimatur. Mr. Obama and Ms. Pritzker grew close, sometimes spending weekends with their families at her summer home."
But don't sell the lady short; she wasn't swept along on some kind of celebrity joyride. Pritzker, the billionaire heir to part of the Hyatt Hotels fortune, has long been first off an avaricious capitalist, and if she backed Obama, it wasn't for his looks. Never one to rest on the laurels of her immense inherited wealth, Pritzker has always wanted more. That's what drove her to run Superior Bank into the subprime housing swamp that drowned the institution's homeowners and depositors alike before she emerged richer than before.
Pritzker and her family had acquired the savings and loan with the help of $600 million in tax credits. She became the new bank's chairwoman and ended up as a director of the holding company that owned it. Under her leadership, Superior specialized in subprime lending, hustling folks with meager means and poor credit into high interest loans that were bundled into the toxic securities that wrecked the US economy.

Video: Unbound with Alpinist Jordi Tosas
For more than 25 years, Jordi Tosas has been working as a mountaineering guide in the Alps and the Himalaya. Over that time, he has completed countless climbs and his love for outdoor adventure in all of its forms has continued to grow. A few years back, he was introduced to Kilian Jornet, the great mountain runner from Spain. That chance encounter has led Jordi to reexamine everything he knows about mountaineering and relearn and reinvent his approach to the mountains. In this video, we learn about Tosas and that process, which is continuing to evolve today.

Makeup Mistress sends us some beauty products to try!
We all know about the big makeup brands like MAC, Urban Decay and Tarte. We think that we have already have a great selection of brands to choose from Sephora and drugstores but the truth is, there's a whole other world of makeup out there! If what we're looking for is not available in brick and mortar stores, the only other option to consider is online of course. Enter Makeup Mistress, an online store that carries a wide variety of brands from the US; namely Coastal Sands, ELF Studio, Jeffree Star, ColourPop, Dose of Colours, and many more!
A few weeks ago, Makeup Mistress sent us some products to try and let's just say that we loved the lipsticks and blush so much that we work them in our daily routine now. Read on below to find out more about our beauty haul from Makeup Mistress! Oh, and if you'd like to win some brushes for yourself, don't forget to join the giveaway here!

Colourpop Lippie Stix in Peppermint, $13
The Internet has been going wild over Colourpop's Lippie Stix and it's no surprise why. The very affordable line of cosmetics from Los Angeles has made all lip junkies around the world go crazy over the highly pigmented colours and us in Singapore are no exception! Our very own Sassy Girl, Syaz has even waxed lyrical about her love for this brand. The peppermint shade lippie stix that was sent to us by Makeup Mistress has a rich and smooth texture that's great for long-lasting wear. This shade is pretty universal and would look great on most skin tones!
ELF Studio Baked Blush in Pinktastic, $15.90
One look at the ELF Studio Baked Blush and you'll know that the soft and shimmering colour will give you a healthy, radiant glow. We tried the blush in Pinktastic and loved the smooth and event application that gave off a sheer effect. We don't recommend using this as a blusher but rather as highlighter (it works like magic when used for highlighting!), or use it to layer over your choice of a more pigmented blush.
Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Prom Night, $32
You girls know how we're mad for liquid lipsticks right? The Jeffree Star version in Prom Night is our current obsession. The doe foot application (aka wand) has a wide end which makes application really easy. The velvety texture is great for long wear and leaves a vivid stain that we hardly had to touch up after eight hours! JS Cosmetics are paraben and gluten-free so extra points for this too!
