World War II POW reflects on seeing Stars and Stripes raised at end of WWII
RANCHO SAN DIEGO, California –World War II POW Sy Brenner, who successfully hid his Jewish identity from his German captors until he was rescued by American troops at the end of the war, reflected in a You Tube video for Memorial Day on his reaction to seeing the Nazi flag lowered and the U.S. Stars and Stripes raised in Europe.
American Jewish Committee condemns pro-Hamas 'Free Gaza' movement
NEW YORK (Press Release) – AJC condemned the pro-Hamas "Free Gaza" movement and its supporters for deliberately provoking a violent confrontation with the Israeli Navy in its attempt to sail a flotilla of ships to Gaza.
"This tragedy on the high seas could have been avoided, and we regret the loss of life," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "The fact that the flotilla refused to cooperate with Israel's repeated entreaties to unload their humanitarian cargo in Ashdod for delivery to Gaza proves that violent clashes are exactly what the international supporters of Hamas must have been seeking."
Israel, under international law, has every right to intercept the ships, and had warned the flotilla to not attempt to land in Gaza, which is controlled since 2007 by the terrorist Hamas, a group that openly seeks the destruction of Israel, and seized control of Gaza in a violent coup ousting the Palestinian Authority led by Mahmoud Abbas.
"The ironically-named 'Free Gaza' movement, which exists to bolster the despotic Hamas regime and its Muslim Brotherhood support base in Turkey and elsewhere, sailed this flotilla not to deliver humanitarian aid — which Israel offered to deliver by land after a security check — but to add an international dimension to the relentless campaign of Hamas against Israel's very existence," said Harris.
When Israeli commandos boarded the ships, they were met with violence from a supposedly non-violent group, including gunfire from automatic weapons and attacks with knives and axes. Several Israelis were wounded. As a result of the clash triggered by the pro-Hamas group, a number of them were killed or wounded in the confrontation.
As the flotilla sailed toward Gaza, Al Jazeera television showed pro-Hamas activists chanting anti-Israel and anti-Semitic songs, including the notorious words, "Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammed will return." One Hamas supporter declared that the aim of the flotilla was either of two "good things…achieving martyrdom or reaching Gaza."

U.S. State Department expects Israel to conduct 'full and credible' investigation of shipboard violence
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Press Release)–U.S. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley on Monday, May 31, issued the following statement concerning the Gaza Flotilla:
"The United States deeply regrets the tragic loss of life and injuries suffered among those involved in the incident today aboard the Gaza-bound ships. We are working to ascertain the facts, and expect that the Israeli government will conduct a full and credible investigation.
"The United States remains deeply concerned by the suffering of civilians in Gaza. We will continue to engage the Israelis on a daily basis to expand the scope and type of goods allowed into Gaza to address the full range of the population's humanitarian and recovery needs. We will continue to work closely with the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, along with international NGOs and the UN, to provide adequate access for humanitarian goods, including reconstruction materials, through the border crossings, while bearing in mind the Government of Israel's legitimate security concerns.
However, Hamas' interference with international assistance shipments and work of nongovernmental organizations, and its use and endorsement of violence, complicates efforts in Gaza. Mechanisms exist for the transfer of humanitarian assistance to Gaza by governments and groups that wish to do so. These mechanisms should be used for the benefit of all those in Gaza.
Ultimately, this incident underscores the need to move ahead quickly with negotiations that can lead to a comprehensive peace in the region.

StandWithUs: It did not have to be like this
By Roz Rothstein
LOS ANGELES — We regret the violence, unnecessary casualties, and loss of life instigated by the anti-Israel flotilla when it defied national and international law, and provoked a confrontation with Israel early this morning (May 31)
It did not have to be like this.
Israel has sought peace and compromise with its neighbors for all of its 62 years.
However, Hamas activists and supporters, in an intentional provocation against Israel, violated international law, violently attacked Israeli military and security personnel with steel pipes, knives, rocks and, according to the most recent news reports, with gun fire, and provoked bloodshed.
It did not have to turn out this way.
The organizers of the anti-Israel flotilla claimed that their goal was bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza's residents. Israel offered to accommodate them in any way possible, and deliver the donated goods through Ashdod, using normal search procedures. The activists rejected the offer.
The Israeli navy contacted the boats, and warned them not to proceed to Gaza, but to go instead to Ashdod. They refused.
Their refusal violated international law and directly attacked Israel's sovereign rights. The Oslo Accords give Israel sovereignty over the Gaza coast, and international law allows countries to ask suspicious boats to identify themselves before entering their waters, and to require that they conform to the nation's laws and security needs.
Israel cannot allow unknown goods and people to enter Gaza. Gaza is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist regime that calls for the murder of Jews, the "obliteration" of Israel and its replacement with an Islamist theocracy. In the past, Israel has intercepted weapons-laden boats headed for Gaza's coast.
No government allows unidentified people and goods to flout their border regulations and enter their countries freely. If these activists behaved similarly at passport and security control in the U.S. or any other nation's shores, ignoring their official protocol and violently attacking security personnel, they would also have been stopped and arrested.
It should not come as a surprise that any country's navy would find it necessary to board and search a vessel attempting illegally to enter their sovereign shores. What is surprising is that the Israeli security personnel were brutally attacked with knives, lead pipes, and other weapons when they carried out predictable and routine security procedures.
Israel has pressing security needs on its border with Gaza, which is controlled by a terrorist organization, and has become a center of other terrorist entities as well, such as Al Qaeda and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Hamas was responsible for close to 40% of the suicide attacks against Israeli citizens, has launched over 8,000 rocket attacks at communities in southern Israel since 2005, and intensively smuggles weapons to continue its war. Israel could not give a free pass to vessels that might contribute to Hamas' terrorist efforts.
It did not have to be like this.
The flotilla organizers claim they are "peace activists." They should be very concerned that the Hamas government they seek to aid is an enemy of peace, opposes all compromise and negotiations, and systematically incites its people to hate and kill Israelis. They should be concerned that Hamas is a brutal regime that has tortured and murdered almost a thousand Palestinian rivals, summarily executes alleged Israeli "collaborators," terrorizes and oppresses Gaza residents, and has held kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit incommunicado for nearly three years, violating all human rights standards. They should also be concerned that in supporting the Hamas regime, they endorse the murder of Jews and the genocidal threats of Hamas' main sponsor, Iran.
It did not have to be like this.
The flotilla organizers could have sincerely sought peace by urging Hamas to recognize Israel as the Jewish State, accept past Palestinian-Israeli agreements, and reject terrorism and violence. Instead, the flotilla activists endorse Hamas' current extremism and belligerence.
People of good will everywhere should condemn the flotilla's goals and its violence.
From Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch:
On the day before the Gaza flotilla confronted the Israeli navy, Al-Jazeera TV documented the pre-battle atmosphere created by men on board the flotilla, chanting a well known Islamic battle cry invoking the killing and defeat of Jews in battle:
"[Remember] Khaibar, Khaibar, oh Jews! The army of Muhammad will return!"
Khaibar is the name of the last Jewish village defeated by Muhammad's army in 628. Many Jews were killed in that battle, which marked the end of Jewish presence in Arabia. There are Muslims who see that as a precursor for future wars against Jews. At gatherings and rallies of extremists, this chant is often heard as a threat to Jews to expect to be defeated and killed again by Muslims.

Gaza blockade legal response to constant missile attacks on Israel — Consulate-General
LOS ANGELES (Press Release)–The following statement was issued Monday, May 31, by Israel's consulate general in Los Angeles:
"Israel regrets all loss of human life and injuries which came as result of the unfortunate events aboard the vessel Mavi Marmara on Monday, May 31.
"When it became clear that the flotilla of 6 vessels intended to break the blockade, Israel attempted to intercept the boats and then boarded the vessels to escort them to Ashdod. Due to the large number of vessels, there was an operational need to undertake measures to enforce the blockade a certain distance from our shores.
Preceding provided by Israel's Consulate-General in Los Angeles
Attacks on Israeli soldiers were planned and executed by extremists of flotilla
NEW YORK (Press Release)– The tragic events aboard the Mavi Marmara on Monday were the result of a deliberate and unnecessary provocation organized primarily by groups with ties to terrorist entities including Hamas. As information emerges regarding what really occurred, it is apparent that members of the so-called humanitarian mission planned and executed attacks on soldiers and sailors from the IDF who repeatedly requested calm and gave multiple warnings urging boats to go to the Israeli port of Ashdod, where the aid would be unloaded and shipped through legal means to Gaza.
It is now apparent that the soldiers were armed with paint ball guns and were ordered not to use pistols unless faced with a life-threatening situation. They were confronted with knives, clubs and other weapons as well as live fire from guns stolen from an Israeli soldier. Several months ago, the Egyptian government prevented an envoy with aid accompanied by many of the same people from entering Gaza.
"We urge all governments to refrain from a rush to judgment and to allow the facts to emerge. The Prime Minister is on his way back to Israel and will then be able to address this fully. There is nothing to be gained from succumbing to the pressures of those who seek an immediate condemnation of Israel," said Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Chair Alan Solow and Executive Vice Chairman Malcolm Hoenlein.
"The Turkish group IHH, which organized the flotilla, is a radical anti-Western group that supports Hamas and is tied to the Islamic Brotherhood. IHH sought a confrontation from the very beginning of this trip. Israel requested that the flotilla redirect its humanitarian supplies to the port of Ashdod as a peaceful and non-violent option in order to deliver the supplies to Gaza through the appropriate and legal channels. Had the IHH not rejected Israel's repeated offers and heeded Israel's warnings, this outbreak of violence would have been easily avoided and the goods delivered to Gaza through the appropriate channels. Video footage shows that the Israeli soldiers repeatedly asked for calm, but the activists were trained and prepared to attack and inflict injuries.
"We regret the loss of life and the injuries. But the responsibility for these tragic events lies primarily with those who organized and carried out this extremist mission and those that aided and abetted them.
"The maritime blockade of Gaza – similar to those imposed by other countries in conflict situations – was imposed to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza and to protect the citizens of Israel who are subject to ongoing rocket attacks, with 150 this year alone. In the past, such ships were also used to bring arms to those fighting Israel's right to exist. Following Israel's complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and Hamas' victory in the Gaza elections, Hamas took complete control, expelling Fatah and the Palestinian Authority. Hamas has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States, Europe and others and they all do not engage with Hamas.
"Israel has delivered more than 1 million tons of humanitarian aid since Operation Cast Lead last January and continues to deliver 10-15,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza per week. This is in addition to the vast amount of goods smuggled into Gaza through Egypt and other means.
"Why did we not hear the same voices of condemnation raised as thousands of rockets poured down on Israel or on behalf of Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped by Hamas more than four years ago and held incommunicado ever since? We wish that other countries would have acted like Cyprus, which refused to allow the flotilla to sail from its ports," said Solow and Hoenlein.

Gaza flotilla was an intentional provocation, not a peace convoy
By Bruce Kesler
ENCINITAS, California — Let's cut out the crap from the international sob-sisters and abetters of Gazan Hamas thugs. Let the UN Security Council show this video upon its big screen, and then choke on the hasty lies swallowed by puerile politicians of pusillanimity pontificating from far away, and the media that vomited the lies upon its viewers and readers. Those who say anything Israel did was disproportionate parrot the word on cue, without any sense of what it means, in definition or actuality.
There are only two things disproportionate: 1. Israelis were armed with paintball guns and did not use more force to quickly quell and control those violently prepared upon the Mavi Marmara. Instead, Israel, as usual restrained itself, while no such self-control was planned by or exerted upon those on the ship. 2. The usual crowd of sympathizers to terror and antagonists to self-defense knee-jerk echoing of clearly wrong, inane and antagonistic charges against Israel, even despite the clear evidence to the contrary.
The blockade of Gaza is to prevent war material from entering. It preserves the peace. The convoy was offered but refused to have its cargo inspected and if humanitarian transferred to Gaza.
The convoy was not humanitarian in intent or action. It was a blatant political propaganda ploy, intentionally belligerent in word and deed, to provoke in order to pressure Israel to commit suicide, opening Gaza's borders to the type of infusion of deadly weapons and missiles for Hamas to attack Israel that flows unimpeded into Lebanon.
Any who defend the convoy or its passengers are actually furthering avoidable death and war.

RAWALPINDI - Police Station Morgah personnel recovered eight missing billboards from a warehouse in Rahimabad area, which were mysteriously removed from Sawan Adda two days ago.
However, FIR was not registered against the responsible in the case.
The advertising agencies office bearers Haseeb Gillani, Chaudhry Yasin, Saad Ibrahim, Sajid Butt informed police, National Highway Authority (NHA) and other departments about the removal of billboards from various locations at Sawan Adda.
Sources said billboards were removed by two inspectors of National Highway Authority, which recovered from a warehouse.
The advertising agency officials said that when National Highway Authority officials were contacted they made it clear that concerned inspectors removed billboards on their own.
Advertising agencies representatives demanded concerned quarters to provide them security as they pay taxes.

Three Professors Receive Han Sung Science Awards
Three KAIST professors swept the 2nd Han Sung Science Awards. Professor Bum-Ki Min from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Physics, Professor Sun-Kyu Han from the Department of Chemistry, and Professor Seung-Jae Lee from the Department of Biological Sciences won all three awards presented by the Han Sung Scholarship Foundation, which recognizes promising mid-career scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biological sciences. The awards ceremony will take place on August 16 in Hwaseong.
Professor Min was declared as the winner of the physics field in recognition of his outstanding research activities including searching for new application areas for metamaterials and investigating their unexplored functionalities. The metamaterials with a high index of refraction developed by Professor Min's research team have caught the attention of scientists worldwide, as they can help develop high-resolution imaging systems and ultra-small, hyper-sensitive optical devices.
The chemistry field winner, Professor Han, is the youngest awardee so far at 36 years of age. He is often described as one of the most promising next-generation Korean scientists in the field of the total synthesis of complex natural products. Given the fact that this field takes very long-term research, he is making unprecedented research achievements. He is focusing on convergent and flexible synthetic approaches that enable access to not only a single target but various natural products with structural and biosynthetic relevance as well as unnatural products with higher biological potency.
Professor Lee was recognized for his contributions to the advancement of biological sciences, especially in aging research. Professor Lee's team is taking a novel approach by further investigating complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors that affect aging, and identifying genes that mediate the effects. The team has been conducting large-scale gene discovery efforts by employing RNA sequencing analysis, RNAi screening, and chemical mutagenesis screening. They are striving to determine the functional significance of candidate genes obtained from these experiments and mechanistically characterize these genes.

It can be difficult to know which material you should choose for your driveway and how much you should pay. There are so many companies offering paving and driveway services out there that it can be hard to find out what a reasonable price is.
To help you get to grips with how much you should pay for a new driveway, we've put together this guide.
General advice
Do your research
Take a look at the different types of driveway material available and consider what your needs are. Materials like concrete, gravel or block paving differ in price and are suitable for different types of terrain.
Set a budget
Try to set a realistic budget for your project. This will help you when it comes to selecting the right company to do the work as you'll be able to compare quotes against what you can afford.
Since the cost of a driveway can vary so much, it's best to get a range of quotes from different companies so you can see how much you should expect to spend.
Bear in mind that there are lots of reasons why one company's quote might be higher than another's, but be wary of extremely low or high. If they can't give you a proper breakdown of your quote or explain why they are quoting their price, steer clear of them.
We've put together a table to show you the typical prices you might expect to pay for different types of driveway:
|Driveway material
|Approx. cost per m2
|From £8
|From £13
|From £32
|Stone paving
|From £25
|Clay brick paving
|From £50
Expect to pay from approximately £45 per m2 in labour costs.
All our paving and driveway companies have public liability insurance and have reviews for you to check out before you ask them to lay your driveway. To get in touch with up to 4 pros, simply fill in the form below.


text: You can't get better than this, extremely competitive rate and lender credit, all the communication done through email (would be great if they use Docusign/e-signature so I didn't need to scan the pages) Tommy was very responsive for my inquiry, and my loan processor Amanda was extremely good! She was very patient, very responsive, provided me all information needed and very timely update. The loan was funded within few weeks from the time I submitted my application, I'll definitely use them again!

Merge Clips Dialogue Box
Continuing on from the previous blog, we are looking at the last options in the top part of this dialogue box – 'Audio'.
If you have camera audio (even if it's not that good), you may wish to try choosing 'Audio' (as selected in the image above) which will leave Première Pro to analyse the audio for the camera and the external audio to match the timing perfectly. Although still quite fast, this will be slower than the other methods as some processing is required.
The final option at the bottom of this dialogue box – 'Remove Audio From AV Clip' – is important if you want to include or exclude the original camera audio. If you include it, you will end up with a multi-channel audio clip with the advantage of being able to edit the camera audio into the mix which may give you extra options. But if you don't need the camera audio, you can check this box which will remove the camera audio and replace it with the external audio.
New Linked Clips with Replaced Audio
However, the length of the clips may then seem different and so you may wish to hold the ALT key to separately trim the audio or video part of the new linked clip for further editing.
Merged and Trimmed Clips
Note the little check marks at the end of the video to indicate there is no more video and the start of the audio to indicate that this is where the recording began. The different colours for the audio and the video indicate they are separately recorded video and audio portions, however, if you select either part of the clip it will behave like any other linked clip in your timeline.
Merged Linked Clips Selected Like Any Other Clip in the Timeline

Sampha shares heartbreaking song "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano"
Sampha's long awaited debut album Process is finally out on February 3, nearly seven years after making a splash on SBTRKT's 2010 debut single "Break Off". (He later co-wrote and produced several songs on SBTRKT's self-titled LP.) In 2013, Sampha released his own EP, Dual. Last year, Sampha broke his years-long silence with two pretty singles, "Timmy's Prayer" and "Blood and Me". The bigger splash came however when he appeared on two of 2016's best albums, Kanye West's The Life of Pablo and Solange's A Seat at the Table.
Now Sampha has shared another track and video from Process called "(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano". A recent cover story at The Fader tells the song's origin story. "'No one knows me like the piano in my mother's home', he sings on the stripped-back, heartbreakingly beautiful track," writes Ruth Saxelby. "He wrote it not long after he'd moved back to Morden to be with her in what would be her final months. He thinks she might've heard the song, but she was so sick towards the end, he's not sure that it registered."

Not only do these desserts look sensational with their artful display of ingredients, but they taste terrific too! Whether you're a parfait fan (French for "perfect" which seems appropriate, though the layered version was actually named by Americans), or more taken with the English trifle, we can assure you that a sweet base adorned with repeated layers of cream, fruit, and toppings is the ideal mix-and-match summer dessert. While we typically refer to parfait as a breakfast item, the French version is probably more suited for post-dinner. If you're feeling extra fancy, serve your creation in a trifle bowl (it's clear) so your guests can ogle at all the decadent layers and rave about the taste.
Base options
In a traditional trifle, the base is made of dry, sponge cookies ("biscuits" in England) known as ladyfingers (or by their original Italian moniker, savoiardi). You may have seen ladyfingers in another popular layered dessert, tiramisù. The ladyfingers are usually soaked in sherry or another sweet booze before being topped with custard and fruit. However, you can use almost any variety of cookie, such as chocolate chip, chocolate crinkle, oatmeal, spice… the options are endless. Save some cookies for crumbling up and sprinkling on top for a garnish.
Because of its soft texture and ability to soak in lots of delicious flavors, a slice of cake is also an excellent base for your trifle. To achieve a nice visual and distribution throughout, chop the cake into medium to large sized cubes. We love to use this Plated yellow cake recipe as a base, as it works really well with all sorts of toppings, but chocolate and carrot make pretty fantastic options, too.
For a really all-star layered dessert, we can never resist the addition of meringue. The fluffy, cloud-like dessert plays oh-so-well with other ingredients, which is perhaps why it's featured in quite a few recipes. From New Zealand hails the Pavlova, a meringue-based dessert featuring layers of meringue topped with fruit and cream, and from England, there is the Eton Mess (basically a British Pavlova), which layers broken meringue, whipped cream, and strawberries. It might take a bit of extra time, but we really believe you can't go wrong adding meringue into this mix. Here's an easy meringue recipe that we've perfected.
Second layer
Custard is an essential ingredient in many an English dessert and is often eaten plain or spooned over as a sauce. Made from milk or cream plus eggs, it may contain cornstarch or other thickening agents to ensure good consistency and is often flavored with vanilla. In trifles, the custard is spooned over the layers and then soaks into the base for a super moist texture.
Whipped Cream
We really love the fluffy consistency of whipped cream, and it makes for a beautiful and crowdpleasing element in any layered dessert. You can simply whip it up with a tiny bit of sugar for a classic sweetened cream, or go wild with other infused elements. Your choice!
Ice Cream
It turns out that the French parfait is actually a creamy frozen dessert, similar to the Italian "semifreddo." So, in fact, the French don't consider layered desserts "parfaits" (although they are an indisputably perfect regardless). In keeping with the "parfait" idea, though, you might consider layering ice cream over your cake, but perhaps only the top, as it will melt quickly. Need some flavor prompts? We've got some ideas…
We most commonly see "parfaits" listed as a breakfast variety, with layers of yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit. But, you can also make this yogurt-based treat into dessert—whip it up with a little honey, fruit preserves, or even some vanilla extract, and add mix-ins like chocolate chips. No judgment if you also eat this for breakfast.
Third layer
After the base and cream are layered on, it's time to add some toppings before beginning the next layer. In layered desserts, fruit is the most typical addition to the mix, but the options are endless!
Thinly sliced strawberries not only add a sweet summer twist to the dessert, but they also look really beautiful in a clear trifle dish. But other seasonal berries like blueberries, cherries (get the pits out first), raspberries, and blackberries are also supremely tasty mix-ins for a layered dessert. If you're feeling tropical, we love adding passion fruit for a crunch, along with chopped mango, and maybe even some dragon fruit for a visually appealing accent.
Nuts add a lovely crunch to a layered dessert, and we especially like sprinkling them over the top at the end. Make sure to chop them up fairly small, so they blend into the other ingredients with each bite.
We can never resist a little bit of chocolate in our desserts, but if you plan on including some, make sure to use the tiniest morsels you can find, or chop them up finely. Alternatively, use decorative curls of chocolate or these incredible caramel-chocolate creations on top.
Cookies aren't just for the base—grind them up and sprinkle them over the top of your dessert for an added crunch.
Sweet + savory
If you're feeling a little adventurous, chocolate covered potato chips and pretzels can add a salty-sweet note. Make sure to only layer them over the top, though, and preferably crushed so they don't absorb the liquid and turn soggy!

This one is an oldie but a goodie.
An American film crew accompanying Ronald Reagan on his 1988 trip to the Soviet Union chanced upon an amazing story.
Contacted by a Russian doctor in Moscow, he told them he wanted help reaching out to the Americans who had helped him and his comrades survive terrible conditions in German POW camp Stalag III B.
It turned out to be an incredible tale of cooperation and human sympathy whose lesson is badly needed today.

Rory & Jess' Scene In The New 'Gilmore Girls' Trailer Means He's Surely A Huge Part Of The Revival Plot
With just a month to go before its Netflix debut, the official Gilmore Girls trailer is finally here, which means we finally get a glimpse of all of our favorite characters back in action — including my favorite of Rory's guys. For just a brief moment, we get an actual look at Rory and Jess, having a real conversation as grownups. And while it may have only lasted a couple of seconds, the Rory and Jess scene from the Gilmore Girls trailer could mean that he serves a larger purpose in the reboot than just being one of her potential love interests.
In the trailer, Jess and Rory are sitting together in what appears to be an office, drinking what looks like whiskey (good choice!) and catching up. Rory's talking about how lost she feels in her life; she doesn't have a job and it seems like she's looking to Jess for advice. But when he reassures her that she's "still a contender," he's affirming he still believes in her, and it makes me feel like Jess' role in the reboot is going to be a lot like when he mysteriously reappeared in Rory's life when she dropped out of Yale and moved in with Richard and Emily.
Back then, Rory was unsure of her future and what she wanted — as most of us are after we get arrested for stealing a yacht — and it looks like she's back in that place all over again in the revival. Who better to help her find herself again than Jess? Think about it: Without Jess as the catalyst, who knows if Rory would have gotten the wakeup call she needed to get her life back on track? At the time, he was able to remind her of her priorities, who she really is, and what she was working toward. And now, it seems like she needs that same kind of kickstart to get motivated again.
As much as it breaks my Rory/Jess 'shipping heart, from this short clip alone, it seems like Jess is back in Rory's life to help her figure out what she wants her future to look like. I want them to end up together so much, but maybe Jess is meant to be more of a Jiminy Cricket in her life... except way better looking and without the umbrella. He knew her when she was young, working for that acceptance letter to Harvard and dreaming of being a reporter someday. And now that they're adults, he's a pretty good person to help her get back to who she was — if that's where she wants to end up.
Of course, like I said, this is just a teeny, tiny moment out of what I hope are plenty that Rory and Jess will share in the revival. Anything could happen, and I'm so glad there are just a few weeks until we get to find out!

14 Surprisingly Effective ab Eexercises
14 Surprisingly Effective ab Eexercises
When it comes to ab exercises, crunches seem like the most obvious routine. As studies have shown, however, this popular workout is not very effective since it doesn't engage all of your major muscles.
Athlete Evan Betts has invented a training program that is going to completely change the way you work your abs. Here, we'll speak about it in a bit more detail.
How to perform: It's best to pick two or three of the exercises below and perform each move for about 1 minute. The rest time between sets should be 20 seconds. When all three exercises are done, rest for one minute and repeat for a total of three, or if you have enough energy, four rounds.
Body weight exercises
- High knees
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep arms fixed (or let them move to help you perform the exercise). Jog in place, lifting knees as high as possible in front of you. And don't forget to keep your lower abs tight. The exercise should be done at near maximum intensity.
Tuck Jump
Stand straight with your feet wide apart and both arms bent at the elbow at a 90-degree angle. Keep your knees a little bent as well. Jump up so that your knees tap your palms. Land on your toes, keeping your knees a little bent.
- Walking plank
Start in the high plank position. Lower your right arm down to your forearm then bring your left arm down as well to move to the elbow plank position. Return to the original position by pushing up and extending your left arm first and then your right arm. Repeat for 30 seconds and then change your starting arm.
- Plank jump
Start in the high plank position. Jump into a position with your legs spread wide and then return into starting pose. Try to land softly on your toes. Please note: you need to keep your arms straight.
- Walking hand plank
Start in the high plank position. Slowly move your hands forward with your body stretched out as much as possible. When you reach the farthest point, pause for a moment and then slowly return to the starting position.
- Bird-dog plank
Start in the high plank position. Keep you abs tight, lift your right arm and left leg out until they are parallel to the floor. Return to the starting position. Repeat, alternating sides.
- Scorpio
Start on your feet and hands. Tighten your abs and shift your weight to the right. Bring your left arm and leg up and turn your torso until your chest faces the ceiling. Lift your right arm and left hand. Bend so that your right hand reaches toward the toes of your left leg. Return to the starting position. Repeat, alternating sides.
- Spiderman push ups
Start in the high plank position. Tighten your abs and bend your arms, trying to reach your right elbow to your right knee and get your thigh parallel to the floor. Return to the starting position and repeat, alternating sides.
- Body saw
For this exercise you will need a small towel or something like that to glide on the floor. Start in the elbow plank position with your toes on a towel. Tighten your abs and move your body forward, bringing your shoulders beyond the elbow level. Then rock your body back as far as it will go.
- Dragon flag
Find something you can hold onto, like a chair or closed door. Lie on your back, knees bent. Tighten your abs and shift your weight onto your shoulders, raising the legs straight up towards the ceiling. Slowly lower the legs (but not touching the floor) and repeat the exercise. Do not turn your head to the side.
Exercises using weights
- Single arm farmer's walk
This bears little resemblance to your average walk in the park. Pick up something heavy; you can use dumbbells, barbells or even a bag with something heavy in it. Stand with your legs wide apart, keeping your back straight and abdomen tight. Walk for 30 seconds with a weight in your right hand. Then switch the weight to the opposite hand and repeat.
- Medicine ball exercise
Hold a medicine ball in both hands at chest level (you can replace a medicine ball with a dumbbell or kettle bell). Make a big circle around your upper body. Repeat this movement for 30 seconds in one direction, and then 30 seconds in the other.
- Resistance band exercise
Take a medium resistance band. Hold a band attached to an anchor point with your left hand. Keep your arms wide apart. Tighten your abs and pull the band to the right side of the body. Slowly return to the starting position. Perform 15-20 repetitions and do the exercise with the other hand.
- Dumbbell exercise
Start in the high plank position. Hold the dumbbell in your right hand. Bring the dumbbell up. Keep your abs tight and your spine completely straight while doing this move. Repeat for 30 seconds with the right arm before switching to your left.

Twenty-one-year-old Zanele Sandlana's body was found among rubbish in an open field in TR Section, Lingelethu West, face down, her clothes removed except for a bra and a shoe.
A bottle was stuffed in her mouth.
Her daughter, aged two, is now an orphan. The father died last year.
Her mother, Nomawethu Sandlana, last saw her on Saturday morning when she left their Kuyasa home in Khayelitsha to go to a party at a friend's home in Site B.
When the family had not heard from her and when she had not come home on Sunday, they opened a missing person's case with police on Monday morning.
The family was informed by Zanele's friends that she had left the party early on Sunday.
Police called the mother on Monday night, informing her that a body had been found, fitting the description of her missing daughter.
Sandlana identified Zanele's body at Tygerberg Hospital on Tuesday. Zanele's sister Amanda said parts of her body had been burnt.
Police spokesperson Noloyiso Rwexana said a murder case was being investigated.
She said a 28-year-old man, who police took in for questioning, was released due to lack of evidence.
Rwexana said no arrests had been made.
"The case is in the sensitive stages of investigation, therefore this office is not able to divulge more information on an ongoing investigation," she said.
Amanda believes her sister was raped and strangled.
Zanele's friend of 10 years, Zahania Tiya, who was with her at the party, told the Cape Times she last saw Zanele before 4am as her friend was leaving the party.
Tiya said she received a text message from Zanele's mother on Monday morning asking where her daughter was but she did not know.
"All this time I had always thought she had left to go to her home," said Tiya.
Zanele's bag, with her personal belongings inside, was still at the party.
"I spent Monday calling most of our friends trying to locate where she was but with no luck," she said.
Tiya said Zanele's mother told her she had dreamt of Zanele lying in an open field, strangled, and that is when she became worried.
"She was my light, the best of friends and it's like I have lost a part of me. It kills me to hear the way she died. I really want justice to be served for my friend.
"She was someone who liked laughing. I feel like I should not have allowed her to leave," said Tiya.
Harare Community Policing Forum chairperson Ronnie Busakwe urged community members to assist the police in their investigation.
"If people allow the killer to roam the street, this means he will kill again and next it could be your family members. The law must take its course and leave no stone unturned until the suspect is behind bars," said Busakwe.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact Lingelethu police on 0213611785 or Crime Stop anonymously on 080010111 or SMS Crime Line on 32211.

The war has ended
But will peace be ever in the world?
My eyes have seen tremendous destruction,
Ruins are in my heart, in millions of hearts.
Burning cities - cities that are dead
Buried in debris - those cities could talk...
They talked the language of horror,
Unknown to the jubilant crowds
Celebrating peace.
Songs of victory cruelly resound in the hearts
That had no more capacity to feel,
Not even to cry.
Loud and strong are the songs of the victorious,
There are no songs for the defeated.
All seems too cruel for those grieving hearts and minds.
Leaders of nations love war,
Total destruction of the enemy,
Humanity thereby ceases to be human.
Again we could be hearing
The terror of bombs
And, after, the songs of victory.
I don't believe in peace anymore.

A woman who never married, who lived with another woman, whose friends were mostly women, orwho moved in known lesbian or mixed gay circles, may well have been a lesbian. ... But this sort of evidence is not 'proof'. What our critics want is incontrovertible evidence of sexual activity between women. This is almost impossible to find.

Ladies and gentlemen, runners of all ages…
It's that time of year. I'm not talking about Christmas or other wintery holidays…
It's runDisney season!!!
We have about 17 days until the Super Bowl of runDisney occurs down in Walt Disney World. WDW Marathon weekend is in its 24th year, and will encompass four races and two challenges throughout the weekend: WDW 5K, WDW 10K, WDW Half Marathon, and WDW Marathon; Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge, and the Dopey Challenge. 2017 is special in that we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the half marathon!
Yesterday, the corrals and waivers were released, and runners will be able to access their bib numbers and corral placements. Now, for those that are seasoned runDisney veterans, they're already out and cruising towards Magic Kingdom (i.e. they already know what to do). If you're a newbie, don't panic! I'm here to help make this as painless and simple as possible. Here is what you do!
- Click this link. It will take you to your waiver: WDW Marathon Weekend Waiver
- When you arrive to the page, enter your last name and DOB.
- Your waiver will pop up. If you have a printer, print it out and sign it. If you don't, you can print it out at the expo.
Your bib number will be at the bottom of the page, along with your age and shirt size. Using this bib number, look up your corral for your race: Now, for those running the challenge runs (Goofy and Dopey), things are a little different for you. I consulted by BRF, Jess, for this information!
"Goofy and Dopey bibs have two corral letters, right? Or is that just Dopey? -me
"Goofy only has one so you are in the same corral for half and full. Dopey has two bibs: one for the 5k and 10k, the other for half and full. You are in the same corral for half and full for Dopey. You're also in the same starting corral for the 5k and 10k for Dopey, too, but you don't find that out until the expo :)" -Jess
So there ya go. Dopey = 2 bibs, 2 letters. Everyone else = 1 bib.
5Kers…You'll notice there is no timing chip on your bib. It's an untimed race, but you are still in a corral. Just run to have fun!
One last note: no matter if you print your waiver now or at the expo, you better make sure you have your ID with you when you retrieve your bib and race packet. Have it out and ready to go so you're not fishing around and fumbling with your stuff when you get there.
Personal notes:
-I'll be running the Goofy Challenge this year! I'll be in Corral J for both races.
-I will be driving to Florida instead of flying.
-I'm tinkering with the idea of a WDW Marathon Survival Guide. For those that have read my Princess Half Survival Guide series, you know that it is catered to those that are first-timers/newbies. Are there any topics that you would like to see me elaborate on/write about that are tailored for the WDW Marathon weekend?
Happy training and traveling! Have a great holiday season!

Here are my new paper flower designs!!! I love these!! I am so happy now to have two different designs, I am going to make about 30 of these and than try another one. I have a couple modification in my head that I want to see if they will work out. I want to make more lily like ones too that are slimmer. I am going to be working on making bouquets too, I think that those would go over nice.
🙂 🙂 🙂 So many different projects to be done!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I haven't been very good about posting things on here. Not that there isn't quite a bit of different things that have been going on in this artistic area. I still have about 5 different photo projects that I need to post on here and on the Facebook page. I think that I will hopefully be getting more and more of this kinda thing done and up for the world to see.

text: Haven't even started your holiday shopping? You're not screwed yet. Hit this tight cluster of stores, and snag thoughtful gifts for everyone in about an hour. Dad: Oska 415 W Broadway, between Prince and Spring; 212.625.2772 Dads love outerwear (it keeps their withered frames from losing precious heat), and this German brand's jackets, sweaters, etc, are all designed with the fashion-forward older man in mind -- as evidenced by their use of models who might have fathered you during a Kraftwerk concert. Bring in this flyer for $50 off your purchase, then use the savings to buy pops an oil drum of piping hot tea. Print the flyer Girlfriend: Wink 155 Spring, between W Broadway and Wooster; 212 334.3646 Since a ring's out of the question, the store recommends you snag her a set of six "Good Charma" sterling silver bracelets ($195-$210), which can be worn separately, or all together for a jangling chorus of "Look what my boyfriend bought me". Buddy or Boss: OK Cigars 383 A W Broadway, between Prince and Spring; 212.965.9065 Nothing says friend/loyal employee like quality carcinogens, and nearly every gift box in OK's walk-in humidor meets that standard, from the $14.95 Honduran Classics (three cigars) to this season's Stogie Grail: the $175 Opus X set (four cigars). The best deal's the $25 Fonseca (Dominican) package: keepsake wooden box, lighter, cutter, and four cigars so flavorful, your giftee'll swear they cost you $75. Out of your deep respect for your friend/boss, you'll choose not to call out his stupidity. Brother: The Evolution Store 120 Spring St, between Greene and Mercer; 212.343.1114 As boys, you salted slugs, fried ants, and dared each other to smoke actual roaches. Remind your brother of those days with Evolution's singular framed insect art. Prices start at $79, though $3000'll get you the world's largest beetle, Titanus giganteus. We suggest the $98 Euchroma gigantea -- not quite as gigantic, but still mesmerizing to look at, especially after a nostalgic session with a roach. Moms: Molton Brown's Toiletries 128 Spring St, between Greene and Wooster; 212.965.1740 Tired of Mom complaining about her fading looks? Help upgrade her grill with MB's highly regarded home spa and skincare line. Their creams, ointments, and soaps are so rejuvenating they'll all but erase the dermatological damage wrought on her face by your years of callousness. Bring a printed copy of this write-up into Molton's store, and get 15% off any women's holiday gift set, now-Dec 24. Sister: Marc Jacobs Bag Sale 11am-7pm, tomorrow only 163 Mercer, between Houston and Prince; 212.343.1490 Unless she's a man, your sister wants another designer bag. Tomorrow's one-day-only, once-a-year sale features three types of bags, all dramatically slashed down to $200. Yes, $200's a big gift for someone whose love you shouldn't have to buy -- but her assumption that you spent $900 means another year of not telling dad it wasn't really the gardener who burned the family home to cinders.

Wanna lose 41 pounds? Forget Weight Watchers - try calling the Stop Junk Mail Association. The SJMA says advertisers send the average adult 41 pounds of junk mail each year.Consultant Michael Esh founded the Sausalito, California-based organization in 1991 after he returned from vacation to find so much junk pushed through his mail slot that he had problems opening the door. "Eventually, I put two and two together and got motivated," he recalls.Esh turned his annoyance into a crusade more than 5,000 strong. "The data collection industry is insidious and huge, and it pulls data from every manageable and conceivable source," Esh says. "People must stay informed."

Krauss leads Hemlock girls into Class C quarterfinal
MOUNT PLEASANT — Senior guard Sam Krauss scored 28 points to lead Hemlock to a hard-fought 60-55 win over Leroy Pine River in a Class C girls' basketball regional final on Thursday.
The Huskies (21-4) will play Flint Hamady (18-5) at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Saginaw Heritage in a Class C quarterfinal — Hemlock's first since 2011.
"This team put together some goals at the beginning of the season," Hemlock coach Scott Neumeyer said. "(Two) of the goals were (to win) districts and regionals, and Breslin was on the board," he added of getting to the semifinals next Friday at the Breslin Center at Michigan State. "And we're one win away from it."
Krauss scored 19 points in the first quarter alone as the Huskies built a 22-13 lead.
But the Bucks rallied behind senior cousins Julie Justin, a sharp-shooting guard who scored 22 points, and Kierra Justin, a post player who had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
The game was tied 46-46 at the end of the third quarter, but Hemlock outscored Pine River 14-9 the rest of the way. Krauss hit some big free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
"We went back to our man (defense) at the end of the game (after switching to a zone in the third quarter)," Neumeyer said. "And we played our best defense of the game in the fourth quarter. Our defense came up big for us when we needed it."
Krauss added five rebounds, three steals and three assists, while Katy Snyder had 15 points, six rebounds and three assists, and Natalie Hoffman had seven points and five rebounds for Hemlock.
Neumeyer knows that Hamady will be another tough opponent, but he's confident in his team and excited about playing the game so close to home.
"We have to play our best game of the year to beat them, no doubt about it," he said. " ... But I know our girls won't be intimidated.
"We're playing in Saginaw, which is good. I hope our community comes out and supports us, because the girls have earned it."
