Ran HaCohen, Comparative Literature Tel-Aviv University
Occupation magazine - Commentary on current events
When I was a child, a popular argument in favor of the Israeli
'liberation,' i.e., occupation, of the Palestinian territories was its being a blessing for the Palestinians themselves. 'When we took it over,' I was told at school, 'there were just a couple of cars in the entire West Bank. And look how many they have now!' Indeed, in the first decades of the Israeli occupation, the Palestinian standard of living was on the rise – not because of Israeli investments (Israel never invested a cent in Palestinian welfare or infrastructure), but mainly because Israel
exploited the Palestinians as a cheap labor force, and even a cheap labor force gets paid.
The welfare argument cannot be heard anymore, now that one in two Gaza and West Bank households is 'food insecure' or in danger of becoming so, as a UN report recently revealed. Not that it changed anything for the Israeli expansionists: once that colonialist argument became obsolete, the supporters of the occupation switched to other excuses. That's the nice thing about the politics of the occupation: the support for it is based on excuses, not reasons. Whenever one excuse fails, Israel's propaganda machine offers another.
It's interesting to observe, however, how Israelis nowadays cope with what used to be such a popular excuse. Having claimed the occupation
ameliorated Palestinian life, Israelis now have to face hunger and starvation at their doorstep. How do they live with it?
Starvation Cannot Be Overlooked
Israelis, of course, are human beings. As such, they are seldom
indifferent to human suffering. The other week, for example, James Morris, retiring from the United Nations World Food Program, was quoted saying 18,000 children worldwide were starving to death every day. These words, on Israel's popular Hebrew Web site Ynet (Feb. 17), attracted 100
compassionate readers' replies. Many of them simply showed their deep sympathy: 'It breaks one's heart,' 'Terrible,' 'Inconceivable figure, incredible,' 'How can one put to bed a hungry child?' to quote just a few. Several readers even asked where one could donate. Others recalled the extreme inequality behind the figures: 'Looks like a billion hungry people don't bother the 5 billion who are not,' or, 'At the same time, the world's richest swim in their money.' Some readers tried to imagine faces behind the figures: 'The world doesn't care about black people.' Several comments mentioned the role of the media: 'This topic doesn't get 10% of the media coverage given to some forgotten wars.' Still others tried a deeper analysis, with comments like 'Cruel, materialistic world will soon pay the price,' or, 'Result of capitalism which leads to social and environmental crises,' or even, 'All this while the Americans pour $100 billion a year on wars.' This was the overwhelming tone of the Israeli reactions to world hunger: human sensitivity, compassion, and empathy, even with some critical political analysis.
Palestinian Plight
A word about the Palestinian plight. The Palestinian territories haven't suffered an earthquake, tsunami, famine, or any other natural disaster in the recent decades. Their constantly deteriorating economic situation is 100-percent man-made. As the UN and many other reports state, the main causes for the poverty are political: namely, Israeli-imposed closures, and the international and Israeli boycott of the PA. The PA is the biggest employer in the Palestinian territories. Boycotting it to the extent of its being unable to pay wages, in a society crushed by years of Israeli military and economic oppression, inevitably leads to massive poverty. In other words, Israel and the international community are punishing the Palestinian population with hunger for democratically electing the 'wrong' party, Hamas. A punishment of biblical dimensions, as suits the Holy Land, with PM Olmert and Condoleezza Rice playing Jehovah.
Overlooking Palestinian Starvation
The UN report on Palestinian 'food insecurity' was posted on Ynet too, in a fair synopsis headlined 'Half the Palestinians Face Difficulty Getting Food' (Feb. 22), attracting about 75 readers' comments. With just a couple of exceptions (met with scorn and aggression), empathy and compassion are completely missing from the reactions. 'Who cares?' one reader writes. 'If my grandmother were alive, it might have interested her,' says another.
Palestinian suffering is not perceived as a human catastrophe, but as a political argument. It's as if the Israeli propaganda machine managed to turn off the most basic human solidarity within the Israelis, replacing it by cynical sophistry devoid of any humanity. Hungry Palestinians are merely an attack on Israel's righteousness, and they are confronted as such.
An overwhelming majority of the readers' letters use one or more of the following ideological strategies:
(1) Outright denial of the suffering: 'They look rather chubby on TV.' And why not? Denying the facts is always the zealot's refuge.
(2) Palestinians do suffer, but it's good. 'Pity, but that's the only way to put them on the right track'; 'There will be peace when the other half is hungry too.' Here one can clearly see seeds of support for a genocide. Similarly: '[To the] government of Israel: encourage them to get up and go!!!'
(3) Palestinians may be suffering, but it's none of our business. 'We pulled out, haven't we? So what have I got to do with it?' one reader asked. The UN report, needless to say, concerns not only Gaza but the West Bank, too; there was no Israeli pullout from the West Bank, but many Israelis would actually like to believe that by caging West Bank
Palestinians behind walls, Israel has nothing to do with them either. Interestingly, if this argument were true, one would expect to find a similar compassion to that expressed toward world hunger in general; but this is not the case. For many Israelis, a hungry child in Ghana is a stain on their collective conscience, whereas a hungry child in Gaza – an hour's ride from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv – is simply none of their business.
(4) Palestinians might be suffering, but we Israelis are the real victims. This is a perpetual Israeli propaganda line: the media is 'unbalanced' (anti-Semitic, etc.), so our suffering is left out. Exposing its futility, one reader carried out the routine procedure mechanically, comparing the two peoples on an economic level: 'One could have made the same survey in Israel and got the same results.' Sure thing: Israel's GDP per capita is $26,000, compared with $1,000 in the occupied Palestinian territories.
(5) But this last argument is often combined with the most popular propaganda guideline of all, namely: Always use the magic word 'Terror' to turn the Israelis into victims and the Palestinians into 'terrorists.' 'Terrorists' are unworthy of human compassion, not even when they are starving; moreover, their suffering is always their own fault. Dozens of letters fall under this strategy: 'Let them stop wasting their money on ammunition'; 'Let them go to work instead of throwing stones'; 'You support terrorism so enthusiastically – I wish you success with other aspects of life'; 'The fact that they've got no food doesn't mean they've got no money to buy it!!!'; 'But getting weapons isn't difficult at all'; and so on.
Palestinian 'terror' is conceived of as an eternal, inherent, never changing, and unmotivated national trait ('No wonder, after 120 years of terrorism,' one reader explains), in which all Palestinians equally partake – doctors and nurses, merchants and students, the elderly and children – and for which they all deserve the punishment of starvation, inflicted upon them by an invisible, unnamed, but ultimately just hand.
(6) One last, related motif is to accuse the Palestinian leadership. 'Demand explanations from your leaders, who get fatter every day'; 'With their kind of leadership, they should be grateful that they're still alive. It's really a shame that the Palestinian blindly follow they stupid leaders.' Obviously, corrupted leadership is the cause of much of the world's poverty. In fact, Fatah's inherent corruption was precisely what made so many Palestinians vote for Hamas. There can hardly be a better illustration for the American export product tagged 'Democracy': the occupied Palestinians have a free choice between starving under the corrupt American-backed Fatah regime and starving under the
internationally boycotted Hamas government. It's a free (occupied) country, you know.
The Israeli reactions to the Palestinian suffering for which they are morally responsible, especially when set against the background of their ostensible concern about world hunger, show how pervasively inhumane the Israelis have become. A well-oiled propaganda machine turns them from compassionate human beings into heartless parrots of state demagoguery, ready to ignore, excuse, and even support the starvation of the other nation with which they share the same land. The dehumanization of the Palestinians by Israel has dehumanized the Israelis themselves.

Bullet Type: SFHP, Starfire Hollow Point
Bullet Weight: 95gr
Bullet Jacket: Copper
Case: Brass
Velocity: 925 ft/s
Powder: Non-Corrosive
Primer: Boxer
Amount: 20 Round Box
Notes: Starfire™ is the brainchild of Tom Burczynski, the "dean" of high performance handgun bullet designers and a frontrunner in the new era of advanced bullet design. The key to its success is the broad, extremely reliable expansion inherent in each Starfire™ caliber. Created by a patented rib and flute design inside the deep, hollow-point cavity, the bullet hyper-expands to nearly twice its original diameter upon impact, delivering tremendous stopping power on target. Starfire's average penetration of 9 –14 inches translates to more energy expended on the target and less wasted on landscape downrange.
While the bullet design of all Starfire™ cartridges facilitates smooth and reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns, the bullet ogive and propellant impulse of the 9 mm Starfire™ have been specifically engineered to provide troublefree, completely reliable feeding in fully automatic weapons. This enables the use of high-performance hollow-point cartridges that feed just as dependably as ball ammunition when the full-auto setting is necessary.
Pistol Hunting with Starfire™ Getting within range of big game with a handgun takes considerable effort and skill. When you get there, you need to have confidence that your ammunition is going to get the job done accurately, powerfully and reliably. Starfire™ earns perfect scores in all three criteria.

A Griswold teacher could earn her school district honors and prizes next week if she gets enough votes in a daytime TV show's Top Teacher contest.
A Griswold teacher could earn her school district honors and prizes next week if she gets enough votes in a daytime TV show's Top Teacher contest.
Palonen, a special education teacher at Griswold Middle School and a Jewett City native, is one of five finalists in a national Top Teacher contest organized by the talk show "Live with Kelly and Michael." All week, the show has aired interviews with finalists and videos shot by producers in the finalists' hometowns. Palonen's segment, which aired Friday, capped the week of teacher interviews.
This weekend, viewers and supporters will choose their favorite from the top five teachers. The winning teacher receives a 2014 Ford Escape, and his or her school district will receive $25,000 worth of products from Hillshire Brands Co., which is best known for its meat products.
The school district celebrated Friday after the show aired, with the district showing a recording of Palonen's segment to eighth-graders and staff. Students presented her with a tiara, a "GMS Top Teacher" sash, flowers, balloons — everything but the "Miss America" song.
In Palonen's video, viewers see her working with students and an interview with Lisa Coe, who nominated Palonen for the top teacher contest. Coe's daughter, Katie, has a severe form of autism, and said Palonen "opened up the world of the teenager" to Katie, including field trips, a special prom and a Special Olympics speed skating team that have enriched students' lives.
In interviews on video and on-air with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, Palonen said her students are an important part of her life, and have changed her life for the better. She does what she can to reciprocate, she said.
"If they need a friend, I'm their friend. If they need an ear, I listen. If they need advice, I give that — too much, sometimes," she said. If I can be a part of making their day better, of changing their path to something more positive, I'm all for it."
For making it to the final round, Palonen received two surprise gifts from Ripa and Strahan — for her classroom, 30 Microsoft Surface tablet computers; for her, a weeklong vacation to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, with tickets and backstage passes to see one of her favorite musicians, Celine Dion, at Caesar's Palace.
Palonen said she was humbled by all the attention.
"This whole adventure is not about me. I'm just the face behind an unbelievable community," she said. "I'm here because I want to be here. I live here, I love here."
While most of the students who watched the video don't have Palonen as a classroom teacher, they said they were excited about the contest and very proud of her.
"She sounds like someone who, if I have a problem, I could go to," eighth-grader Jennifer Miele said.
Eighth-grader Colby Knolhoff admitted he got a little "watery-eyed" watching Palonen and her students talk about what each has meant to the other.
"It was really emotional. I'm not in her class, but I see her in the hallways and in other classrooms. I'm definitely going to vote for her," he said.

Log Splitter Safety Tips
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine, and in the operator's manual before attempting to assemble and operate.
Be familiar with all controls and proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and disengage it quickly.
Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this machine. Children, 16 years and over, should read and understand instructions and safety rules in this manual, and should be trained and supervised by a parent.
Many accidents occur when more than one person operates the machine. If a helper is assisting in loading logs, never activate the control until the helper is a minimum of 10 feet from the machine.
Keep bystanders, pets and children at least 20 feet from the machine while it is in operation.
Hydraulic log splitters develop high fluid pressures during operation. Fluid escaping through a pin hole opening can penetrate your skin and cause blood poisoning, gangrene, or death.
Keep the operator zone and adjacent area clear for safe, secure fitting.
This machine should be used for splitting wood only. Do not use it for any other purpose.
Always wear safety shoes or heavy boots.
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles while operating this machine.
Never wear jewelry or loose clothing that might become entangled in the moving, or rotating, parts of the machine.
Make sure the machine is on a level surface before operating.
Always block machine to prevent unintended movement, and lock in either horizontal or vertical position.
Always operate this machine from the operator zone(s) specified in your operator's manual.
Logs should be cut with square ends prior to splitting.
Use log splitter in daylight or under artificial light.
To avoid personal injury, or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running.
Always keep fingers away from any cracks that open in the log while splitting. They can quickly close and pinch, or amputate, your fingers.

Tuesday, 14 May 2013 07:31 AM
The platinum belt towns of Rustenburg and Marikana, which saw violent strikes at Lonmin and other platinum producers last year, are a flashpoint of labor strife with tensions running high over looming job cuts and wage talks.
Further complicating the picture is a turf war between the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) — a political ally of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), which has lost many of its members to the AMCU.
An NUM spokesman said Tuesday's strike appeared to stem from workers' anger over the weekend killing of an AMCU member. A police statement said that a 46-year-old man "alleged to be the regional organizer of AMCU" was killed in a Rustenburg tavern on Saturday when an assailant shot him four times with a 9mm pistol.
Hundreds of Lonmin workers, some carrying branches and sticks, chanting "Down with NUM, we will destroy it today," marched to the rocky outcrop near Lonmin's Marikana mine where 34 strikers were shot dead by police in August last year.
Miners told a Reuters reporter they were gathering to wait for their leaders to come and address them.
The share price of Lonmin slid almost 7 percent and the rand currency hit 3-week lows, as investors worried about a repeat of 2012's turmoil, which hammered platinum and gold production and triggered credit downgrades for Africa's largest economy.
"Peace and returning to normal production in our mining industry is absolutely critical to our economy so I'm hoping that everybody sits down together and solves their problem," South Africa's Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Tuesday in Cape Town, reacting to the latest Lonmin stoppage.
It puts pressure on President Jacob Zuma's ANC, which was criticized last year for its handling of the situation and faces accusations that it is neglecting the nation's poor masses 19 years after the end of apartheid.
The mines unrest is rooted in glaring income disparities and low wages for a workforce that is largely semi-literate and drawn from poor rural areas of South Africa.
Platinum's spot price rose 1.5 percent on news of the strike, widening its premium over gold to more than $60 an ounce, the highest in a month.
Lonmin spokeswoman Sue Vey said all 13 shafts at the company's facility were not working. She said there was no indication at this stage as to why employees were on strike.
The company told the strikers to return to their posts, adding their action could lead to job losses.
"We urge you to refrain from this unprotected [illegal] action and immediately return to work. Failure to do this could result in further reduction of jobs at Lonmin," it said in an internal memo to staff, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.
It said the strike action "will severely impact the viability of Lonmin and will put your work and the sustainability of your family at risk."
The Lonmin stoppage occurred during Platinum Week, an annual gathering in London of industry executives and analysts. Lonmin workers also downed tools for one day in March during a visit by media, embarrassing the company as it tried to show how it had recovered from last year's problems.
Lonmin's acting chief executive Simon Scott told Reuters in an interview late on Monday the company would tell unions to curb expectations of forthcoming wage talks, warning it remains under pressure despite reporting robust first-half earnings.
"While the results are a significant improvement over last year, this is still not an industry that is making a lot of money. This is still not an industry that is giving shareholders a huge return," he said.
Social tensions in the area have been further stoked by plans by Anglo American Platinum, the world's top producer, to slash 6,000 jobs in a bid to restore profits. That is less than half the 14,000 initially targeted but unions have still vowed to fight against the lay-offs.
Gideon du Plessis, deputy general secretary of the Solidarity trade union which represents skilled workers, said he understood AMCU was demanding the NUM close its office at Lonmin. AMCU represents over 70 percent of Lonmin's workforce.
Police said earlier they were monitoring the situation at Marikana.

Got some pictures, also how did you heat treat.Originally Posted by Sprat
As I posted below I have completed a 70-80% receiver blank by century, I did this build by hand tools, these included a dremel, drill (cord), series of files-flat and round fine to bastard, levels, taps, cutoff wheels(stock up), grining stones, heavy vise. no milling machines no lathes or drill press. blueprints and downloaded posts by others from roderus
I will post the pictures in a few days, I have not cut the charging handle slot because I may relocate the charging handle.
this build should fire and feed fine. I am going to the range this week with a sub-caliber device 32acp in 308 adapter to fire function test. then the following week weak reloads very weak reloads
more to come
Got some pictures, also how did you heat treat.Originally Posted by Sprat
By hand, wow that takes some patience. My hat's off to you.
What plan did you end up using? I always heard the biggest hurdle in FAL 80%ers was the lack of the availability of accurate plans
When will the step by step DVD be available??
That's a project you should be real proud of! Congrats!
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
That is impressive - my hat's off to you!
Ditto on the questions:
1. How did you heat treat?
2. What plans did you follow, if any?

I want to ditto interest in this.
There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. -- Bertrand Russell
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." Robert J. Hanlon
Can it be done??? I did it!!!!
I test fired my century casting that I finished 70% to almost 95%
I loaded 1 weak reloads into the chamber. pulled the bolt catch and she locked up fine, with a coathanger and gun rest. I pulled trigger and low and behold no blown receiver, no cracks no deforms of any kind and I didn't loose any JB
but the primers came out and out the bottom of the mag well FLAT, case didn't eject ( gas valve not set) the neck was fire formed for a new caliber
Yes I know I am a smith excessive headspace and no I didn't headspace before hand.( bad habit building AK's) I will have to thread deeper about a half turn
To all my non friends here I was not hurt sorry to disappoint you!!!! you know who you are
when I loaded the 5 round in the mag ,she locked up tight, the pressure was high enough to blow the bottom of austrian mag out got to get that gas valve set
As of now I am the only person to have build a 70% FN FAL to fire function on all the sites I have checked
good luck with your castings
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
My question still stands, what heat treat method did you use? It's my understanding that FALs require specific heat treatment methods.
Gunco Member #10
The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
I have not heat treated the receiver as of yet, I was very concerned about this constant reference to blowing up the receiver from the beginning( I mean since 2003 when the first attempts were made to work these up over at RODERUS)
In fact some pictures for this build can be found in the FAL build section on roderus.
back to the heat treatment, after 5 shots of weak 308 there were no cracks, believe it maybe like the AK the barrel and bolt take the beaten, and yes 308 is hotter than 7.62 X 39mm
ok back to your question, bob at (a well known 80% receiver company) offered to assist me there, he nows of a facility to handle the project ( personnally I think its him)
post shooting examination revealed the jb touch up in the feeding ramp area was still in place I am wondering about the heat treatment
also two things to look out for the front of the casting is off to the left a bit. this must be compensated for.
also the feeding ramp is going to be a problem as are factory finished century receivers ( some rounds feed into the barrel base instead of the chamber. this is a common complaint on the fal files
I will answer any question on this build as long as it civil
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
That's pretty cool! I know these need the heat treat based on the threads I've read, and let's not forget DSArms' treatment of the issue. I think they had some blow-up pics on their site, but I don't really remember that far back.
Where do you find the castings these days? I saw one at a gun show one time, but that's the only one I've seen.

This for all the women across the world
That's in an abusive relationships with a man
And their sacred to talk about it
And don't know how to get out of it!
This is what she told me:
She called my phone up, she crying every night
She's saying that she's sleeping with the devil
Cause they always fight!
The same when I hug her, the same way to take flight
I'm glad I just listen!
He could have took her life away, she
Don't make, right
She wanna leave she can't trust him, right?
Mind as well go back, shit they're just alike
They both like pain and love, they don't know better
They grew up seeing separation, fight between their parents
They can't communicate with, out involve the feelings
He wanna hit at her, cause he's scared to lose her
Don't know how to say, he really love her and just stick with it!
In other words, he thinks he's right to beat upon women
He lost a lot of points in my book, but relationships have feelings
So make sure you know what you're entering!
You gotta be a pimp or a player to step down on a female
Just keep your head straight, she follow up on your cartel
Or she on a bar, she give you gang, so you know well
You want your female to have your back, when your day rough
Feature brand with wisdom, it takes time to learn from
The women of my dreams will talk a lot but still keep quite
Pay attention to the setting, a if it ain't violent!
A lot a people got the game wrong, leading the women to death traps
Because they're so down, distorted their vision
Cause a woman with love couldn't nobody stop her!
I feel for a girl that's scared to leave a man
Because the fear and the love combine the same thing
Fears it's potential, but love is what really stand
Stay for real close, even if it's on it's brain, fools don't fall in love!
We're humans, they're trained, I sit back and watch the world
And peep game females
On the same thing, look down for real love
Can't if it's all planned, anything is possible
Is all what you gotta do
Let your heart broken, too!
I promote a few, but can't trust too many
The hood is filled with young men, who don't know their dad
They gonna treat her right, they don't even know a man
Only seen the hood movies, don't know the family
Get your mind right and slow down the van, and switch the plans!
Sst! I heard her scream!
That's the last time we talked on the phone!
I heard her scream!
Women, if you're in an abusive relationship just be strong
And let them men know that you are better than that!
It's time to grow up, beautiful women, I let you all!

It's the perfect time of year to start making Sun Tea, which is basically any kind of tea you brew using the power of the sun. As long as you have water, tea bags and sunshine you can make yourself some delicious tea. Yesterday, I decided to make a mix of green and black tea with some fresh mint (pic below).
How to:
- Fill a large glass container with some good quality water (cool or room temperature)
- Add teabags (about 3-4 bags per half-gallon of H20)
- Add a few slices of lemon/lime or a few sprigs of mint (optional)
- Cover the container and place it in a location that gets full sunlight (this spot can be indoors or outdoors)
- Let the tea brew for at least 3 hours
- Refrigerate or pour over ice to drink immediately
- Enjoy!

Authors: George Rajna
Hooman Davoudiasl, a theoretical physicist at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, has recently introduced a new theory suggesting that the black holes observed by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration originate from a first order quark confinement phase transition. [20] In a paper published today in the journal Science, University of Florida scientists have discovered these tears in the fabric of the universe have significantly weaker magnetic fields than previously thought. The group explains their theory in a paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters-it involves the idea of primordial black holes (PBHs) infesting the centers of neutron stars and eating them from the inside out. [18] But for rotating black holes, there's a region outside the event horizon where strange and extraordinary things can happen, and these extraordinary possibilities are the focus of a new paper in the American Physical Society journal Physical Review Letters. [17] Astronomers have constructed the first map of the universe based on the positions of supermassive black holes, which reveals the large-scale structure of the universe. [16] Astronomers want to record an image of the heart of our galaxy for the first time: a global collaboration of radio dishes is to take a detailed look at the black hole which is assumed to be located there. [15] A team of researchers from around the world is getting ready to create what might be the first image of a black hole. [14] "There seems to be a mysterious link between the amount of dark matter a galaxy holds and the size of its central black hole, even though the two operate on vastly different scales," said Akos Bogdan of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). [13] If dark matter comes in both matter and antimatter varieties, it might accumulate inside dense stars to create black holes. [12] For a long time, there were two main theories related to how our universe would end. These were the Big Freeze and the Big Crunch. In short, the Big Crunch claimed that the universe would eventually stop expanding and collapse in on itself. This collapse would result in…well…a big crunch (for lack of a better term). Think "the Big Bang", except just the opposite. That's essentially what the Big Crunch is. On the other hand, the Big Freeze claimed that the universe would continue expanding forever, until the cosmos becomes a frozen wasteland. This theory asserts that stars will get farther and farther apart, burn out, and (since there are no more stars bring born) the universe will grown entirely cold and eternally black. [11] Newly published research reveals that dark matter is being swallowed up by dark energy, offering novel insight into the nature of dark matter and dark energy and what the future of our Universe might be. [10] The gravitational force attracting the matter, causing concentration of the matter in a small space and leaving much space with low matter concentration: dark matter and energy. There is an asymmetry between the mass of the electric charges, for example proton and electron, can understood by the asymmetrical Planck Distribution Law. This temperature dependent energy distribution is asymmetric around the maximum intensity, where the annihilation of matter and antimatter is a high probability event. The asymmetric sides are creating different frequencies of electromagnetic radiations being in the same intensity level and compensating each other. One of these compensating ratios is the electron-proton mass ratio. The lower energy side has no compensating intensity level, it is the dark energy and the corresponding matter is the dark matter.

A Mother's Love... The Story of My Son Pooing in My Hand
My son was 8 weeks old when we started cloth diapering him. One day, a few weeks into cloth diapering, my husband, son, and I were out and about running errands. I could tell my son was getting hungry so I fed him in the car in the parking lot and while doing so I could hear some noises in his little belly…then in his pants. I figured, not a big deal, I will just change him in the car when he is done eating. Any mom who has exclusively breast fed a baby knows what EBF poo looks like and that is sticky mud. I go to change the little guys diaper and that is what it was full of. Ew. Whatever, I'm used to it at this point. I got my wipes out (I was still using disposable wipes at this time) and realized that I only had 5 wipes and a baby with a very nasty bum. Okay, I could make this work. As I am using the last wipe I saw a little more poo coming out…then more…then some more. Well, I was NOT expecting that and was scrambling around trying to find something to catch it with because a) he was in the back of my husband's car and b) I did not put down a changing pad (shame on me). As I realize that I had no other options I did something I never in my life thought I would do…I just put my hand under his bum and caught the poo. And you know what? It really didn't bother me much. My husband was gagging behind me and I am asking him for a bag, a towel, SOMETHING so that I could get the poo off of my hand. I finally remembered that I had an extra pre-fold in my wet bag and wow was that a lifesaver! Once we got the new diaper on I ran into the store we were going in and washed my hands immediately then went on with our day. I know that someday I will tell my son this story and embarrass the heck out of him, but maybe he will realize that what it really means is that I will do anything for him.
Moral of the story: always carry an extra pre-fold or flat diaper because in case of an emergency they can clean up some nasty messes.

Isn't that always the way? Worst poo with five wipes left. I often wonder how many of the stories we will remember and embarrass our children with will involve poo. When Silas was 3 weeks old it was Mike's night to "help the baby" when he woke up. Mike's a heavy sleeper, so Si woke me up and I woke up Mike (kind of defeats the purpose). Mike got up to change his diaper and I heard cussing. What happened? He peed on me. I shrugged. Then there was louder cussing. What happened? A stream of poo shot from our loving child onto our bed and frame. I laugh about it now (I'm laughing right now) but then, it was cuss worthy.
Great idea about the extra prefold, and I'd add some hand sanitizer too!

We didn't get so lucky with our first surprising poo incident... at least it was contained (to your hand!). we were unaware (being new parents) that it could squirt.... and it did. 1/2 way across our bedroom, covering our bed!
- June 25, 2011 at 1:48 PM
I could tell lots of stories about this and also catching vomit.....LOL! Oh, the horrid, absolutely disgusting things we get to do as parents for the love of our kids!

This I have not done but last year we were in Disney World my daughter peed on me while we were waiting to see Fantasmic. And I was not able to do anything at all. I had to stand there through the whole thing with pee all over me and her. And now it is this funny story.

My husband was showered by "the golden fountain" during that magical moment when one of our twins was being transferred from a state of nakedness on our bath mat to the tub tub.
Way to go on catching the poo mommy!

A wonderful mom story! I could see myself doing the same thing! My husband would be just the same as in the story! I had a water birth and right after my son was born and I was holding him (we were still inn the water), he pooped all over me! But I was so caught up in the moment I didn't even care!

As a photographer I've been pooed on by other's babies! And my son peed in my face during a dipe change... oh the joys! We have earned our stripes for sure! :)

or some extra wipes. hahaha that's the funniest story ever. If you're ever a "good mom" convention tell that story, you'll win for sure.
Oh the love of a mother. I can't wait to have my kiddo and do stuff like that!

Luckily for me our first "poo squirt" incident happened while we were still newbies in the NICU with our preemie. I was kinda embarrassed (especially since I didn't know what I was doing yet) but the nurses didn't seem at all surprised. Plus, the bonus, I didn't have to do the laundry it created! Great story.

It's tough, living in the shadow of a
dead girl
. It's like living at the foot of a mountain blocking out the sun, and no one ever thinks to say, "Damn, that mountain is big." Or, "Wonder what's on the other side?" It's just something we live with, so big we hardly notice it's there. Not even when it's
us under its terrible weight. • No one mentions my sister. If they do, it's mentioning her by omission, relief that I am nothing like her. I am the good sister. Thank God. • To speak of my sister . . . there's nothing more
. Alexandra, Andra, Alex. Xanda—who was, and is, and is to come. To speak her name is my family's purest form of
. • To think of Xanda is to conjure up a person out of phase with the rest of us. Gym socks and mary janes. Lipstick always slightly outside the lines, as if she were just the victim of a
mad, messy kiss
. Laddered stockings with dresses that were decidedly un-churchy. Sloppy in a way that was somehow repulsive and delectable at the same time. Repulsive to my parents. Delectable to me. • At ten, I was practicing her pout in the mirror. By twelve, I was trying on her clothes (in secret, of course), thrilled with the way her shorts hugged my cheeks and made my underpants seem obsolete. Xanda was seventeen. She didn't wear

safety-pin dress
, the one she had painstakingly assembled like rock-star chain mail. I was so scared I poked a pin through the end of my pinky. I imagined her taking off one of her stilettos and plunging it into my heart. • But Xanda didn't skewer me. Instead, she threw back her head and laughed a dazzling, tonsil-baring laugh, then smothered me in a hug. She had that sour, sharp smell, and I knew she had been with Andre—Andre, of the sultry voice and skin the shade of coffee with milk.
Café con leche
, as he put it. Sweet and dangerous. A bit of a con, said Andre. A bit of a

around my ankles. Clump, clump, drag. With a heavy grasp, she steered us both toward the full-length mirror hung on the back of her bedroom door. The metal of the safety pins shimmered down my straight, twelve-year-old hips. Xanda stood behind me, the glow of the bedroom window lighting up the pale
of her hair in a halo. She shimmered, too, but in a different kind of way. Her sheer white dress fluttered around her, a ghost trapped behind my chain-link figure. When she smiled, she looked like an
unholy angel

Kind of edgy. Don't you think?" • I tested the name in my mouth. Rand. Rand would wear a safety-pin dress. Rand could probably go without underpants now and then. Rand sounded almost like Xanda. I liked it. • "Do you
want to know a secret?"
I whispered to the sister in the mirror. • "Tell me," she whispered back. "Tell me, and I'll tell you one."

News about the Elves of Iax
This site has been silent for a long, long time. I've been spending all of my energy on The Indies over at Studio Splurd. I do want to get back to The Elves one of these days, but life always seems to be in the way. I do have plans for a brand new version of the website, but sadly, they are only plans right now. I hope I'll have some real news for you soon.
Sep 05, 2009 - It's been quite a while since I worked on The Elves. Chapter Two has remained 50% complete for nine months now. I am right now at the PAX gaming convention. Conventions traditionally re-inspire me to be artistically creative. At present, the Splurdagumi and I are coming out with Papyrus within the week. I suppose I'm struggling to find the drive and focus to get back to Iax. I guess, much as I love The Elves, them being my oldest and most in-depth creation, I'm at a loss as to what I'm ultimately capable of accomplishing. There's so many aspects of Iax, and I"m so very stubborn about how each is presented. The Splurdagumi and I gave the Elves of Iax RPG a test run this summer and had a great deal of fun with it. I think I will put my next burst of energy into that, as it is perfect for building the website's content. Encouragement is welcome.
Dec 21, 2008 - I just finished page 6/7 of chapter two. Just to put things into perspective, the last spread I finished was on June 18th. Nothing else to report, just moving on to the next one.

Three days into his retirement, Zeng Li (曾礼) died yesterday at age 61, apparently of intestinal bleeding. Surprisingly, his March 28 farewell letter has spread across China's social media sites and blogs. The letter is an apology, an explanation of sorts, and an admission of regret regarding the latter part of his career. Zeng served in Southern Weekly's internal censorship program--his title there most likely translates best as "news examiner."
According to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, Zeng's farewell letter read, in part:
Looking back on the last four years, I made mistakes. I have killed some drafts that I shouldn't have killed, I have deleted some content that I shouldn't have deleted, but in the end I woke up, I would rather not carry out my political mission than go against my conscience, I don't want be a sinner against history.
Zeng had come to a degree of prominence in January, when staff at the famously liberal weekly (also translated as Southern Weekend) went on strike for three days, protesting heavy handed censorship-- rewriting, actually--of a Southern Weekly New Year greeting. The piece advocated constitutionalism and respect for rule of law, and was replaced with a pro-government message. Qian Gang, director of Hong Kong University's China Media Project, says a blog post by Zeng, "Who Revised the New Year's Greeting at Southern Weekly?," was instrumental in bringing the ugliness of these censorship tactics to light.
Zeng was not the author of the January editorial that raised the furor, nor was he the government censor who rewrote the copy--that dubious distinction belongs to Tuo Zhen, the Guangdong provincial propaganda chief. Zeng's role, one that had been established around 2008, was to head off exactly the type of confrontation over censorship that hit the paper in January. His job was to act like a buffer, moderating between the push for more open reporting--which came from field and writing staff and was driven by the growing expectation of readers who look to Southern Weekly for its more liberal, aggressive journalism--and the censors from the various departments of propaganda who watched for violations. He and others in the role were known as Old Comrades by the younger staff. His job wasn't glamorous, and by its nature was intended to be anonymous, but the staff at the paper knew full well his role.
You might think that he was not admired by the staff at Southern Weekly, but the comments appearing online, especially on social media platforms, show an appreciation for the man and the role he played. His nickname was a respectful "Old Zeng" and there are many references to sharing a drink with him after work.
We examined China's increasingly complex censorship regime-- including the January blowup at Southern Weekly--in our special report, "Challenged in China: The shifting dynamics of censorship and control," which is also available in Chinese as a PDF. It's worth noting that the Chinese version has made it through China's firewall (where CPJ.org seems to be regularly but not constantly blocked) and has been downloaded more than any other non-English PDF we have posted. It is still being widely circulated via social media. If you're in China or communicating with colleagues there, it would be great if you could share it with those you know.

It has been several years since an actor was our Chicagoan of the year in theater — and even longer since the honor went to someone just 28 years old. But then Jessie Mueller is not an ordinary performer. Nor has she just lived through a typical year.
Mueller's breakout 2011 began at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire in February, when she played Miss Adelaide in Matt Raftery's production of "Guys and Dolls." The show had its problems — this was, after all, Raftery's directing debut — but Mueller was one of his key solutions. Even though she was known mostly for playing sweet-voiced ingenues, and even though she is younger than ideal for this role, Mueller suddenly unleashed a comic persona with startling force. She flung herself into that eternal fiancee, kept on ice for 14 years by that louse Nathan Detroit, with humor, power, charm, vulnerability and enough spark to set that round suburban stage ablaze.
In June, Mueller showed up at the Marriott again in "Shout," another mediocre show. This time, she nearly blew the roof off the hotel lobby with a blistering rendition of the 1967 number "How Can I Be Sure?" (originally recorded by the Young Rascals) that was so technically superb and emotionally rich that it nearly took one's breath away.
By this point, it was clear that something was going with Mueller, who seemed to ratchet up her work to a whole different level and who seemed to be particularly invested in the lines "How can I be sure in a world that's constantly changing?"
That change a-coming was the Broadway production of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," that would see Mueller plucked from relative obscurity (except in Chicago, where she is part of a well-known family of performers) and dropped into a major Broadway lead, singing opposite Harry Connick Jr. and suddenly finding herself being photographed by Vanity Fair wearing Oscar de la Renta, and performing on "The View." This was a highly unusual circumstance — few actresses in their 20s with no New York credits make their Broadway debuts in one of the starring roles in a major musical, especially across from a bona fide star. But it was not hard to see why it happened: Mueller's voice is an extraordinary instrument, especially when applied to the American songbook.
A fairy tale end to her year would have seen Mueller starring on Broadway atop a major hit that seemed set to run for years. But "On a Clear Day" was, as fate would have it, the weakest of all three of these shows. Its future thus is cloudy. But Mueller still shined, as much as she could. And it was evident to some that Connick only really seemed comfortable in the scenes where he was singing with Mueller. The Broadway community has taken notice; in musicals, Mueller is the new face, the big find, of 2011.
"I don't have a plan," Mueller said recently by phone from New York, calling her changed life "strange but fun."
"I know not to expect anything, just truly trying to take all this moment by moment," Mueller said. "I know mine is a total Cinderella story of coming to New York — I've seen so many of my really talented friends audition and audition and get nothing — and I know what happened to me is really abnormal."
Indeed. But then so is her talent.

There's no denying that a gas range brings measurable benefits to your food service operation. Compared with its electric counterpart, commercial gas kitchen equipment helps you totally control the amount of heat dispensed, resulting in more precise cooking. Another reason why gas ranges are often preferred in the commercial kitchen is that they are much quicker to heat up, which can save you much-needed time when you're in the middle of a busy dinner rush. And, although gas ranges tend to be costlier to operate than electric ones, they're more reliable, especially in the event of a power outage.
CKitchen can help you find the perfect restaurant gas range for your business, whether you need something small and reliable or large and heavy-duty. Our selection includes top-notch commercial gas ranges by Turbo Air, Vulcan, Wolf, Bakers Pride and Garland. You'll find styles with features such as stainless steel back valve panels, ignitors, standard and convection ovens, fry-tops with manual controls, single high shelves and more from the most trusted names in the industry. We offer everything from compact, four-burner styles all the way up to extra-large styles with several burners, dual convection ovens and more.
While we have a huge selection of standard gas open burner ranges that sit on the floor like a traditional range, we also have a wide variety of countertop gas ranges and specialty ranges that are designed to accommodate your specific kitchen requirements. Make sure to explore our entire selection of commercial ranges to find a style that perfectly suits your needs. The team at CKitchen is more than happy to help you find commercial restaurant equipment that meets your specific demands and budget. We offer financing, low prices and thorough customer service to ensure a simple and enjoyable shopping experience.

Recipe courtesy of Joanne Chang
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks; 170 grams, 6 ounces) unsalted butter
In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
1 1/2 cups (345 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (110 grams) honey
1/3 cup (80 grams) heavy cream
1/3 cup (80 grams) water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Basic Brioche Dough
1/4 cup (55 grams) light brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup (100 grams) pecan halves, toasted and chopped
Brioche Dough:
2 1/2 cups (350 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
2 1/4 cups (340 grams) bread flour
1 1/2 packages (3 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast or 1-ounce (28 grams) fresh cake yeast
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (82 grams) sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cold water
6 eggs
1. First, make the goo. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar and cook, stirring, to combine (it may look separated, that's ok).Remove from the heat and whisk in the honey, cream, water, and salt. Strain to remove any undissolved lumps of brown sugar. Let cool for about 30 minutes, or until cooled to room temperature. You should have about 3 cups. (The mixture can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
2. Divide the dough in half. Use half for this recipe and reserve the other half for another use.
3. On a floured work surface, roll out the brioche into rectangle about 12 by 16 inches and 1/4-inch thick. It will have the consistency of cold, damp Play-Doh and should be fairly easy to roll. Position the rectangle so a short side is facing you.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and half of the pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Starting from the short side farthest from you and working your way down, roll up the rectangle like a jelly roll. Try to roll tightly, so you have a nice round spiral. Trim off about 1/4- inch from each end of the roll to make them even.
5. Use a bench scraper or a chef's knife to cut the roll into 8 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2-inches wide. (At this point, the unbaked buns can be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 1 week. When ready to bake, thaw them, still wrapped, in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, then proceed as directed.)
6. Pour the goo into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, covering the bottom evenly. Sprinkle the remaining pecans evenly over the surface. Arrange the buns, evenly spaced, in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm spot to proof until the dough is puffy, pillowy, and soft and the buns are touching-almost tripled in size, about 2 hours.
7. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and heat to 350 degrees F.
8. Bake until golden brown, about 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool in the dish on a wire rack for 20 to 30 minutes. One at a time, invert the buns onto a serving platter, and spoon any extra goo and pecans from the bottom of the dish over the top.
9. The buns are best served warm or within 4 hours of baking. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, and then warmed in a 325 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes before serving.
10. Brioche Dough:1 3/8 cups (2 3/4 sticks; 310 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into 10 to 12 pieces.
11. Using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, water, and 5 of the eggs. Beat on low speed for 3 to 4 minutes, or until all the ingredients are combined. Stop the mixer, as needed, to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all the flour is incorporated into the wet ingredients. Once the dough has come together, beat on low speed for another 3 to 4 minutes. The dough will be very stiff and seem quite dry.
12. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter, 1 piece at a time, mixing after each addition until it disappears into the dough. Continue mixing on low speed for about 10 minutes, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. It is important for all the butter to be thoroughly mixed into the dough. If necessary, stop the mixer occasionally and break up the dough with your hands to help mix in the butter.
13. Once the butter is completely incorporated, turn up the speed to medium and beat until the dough becomes sticky, soft, and somewhat shiny, another 15 minutes. It will take some time to come together. It will look shaggy and questionable at the start and then eventually it will turn smooth and silky. Turn the speed to medium-high and beat for about 1 minute. You should hear the dough make a slap-slap-slap sound as it hits the sides of the bowl. Test the dough by pulling at it; it should stretch a bit and have a little give. If it seems wet and loose and more like a batter than a dough, add a few tablespoons of flour and mix until it comes together. If it breaks off into pieces when you pull at it, continue to mix on medium speed for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until it develops more strength and stretches when you grab it. It is ready when you can gather it all together and pick it up in 1 piece.
14. Put the dough in a large bowl or plastic container and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the dough. Let the dough proof (that is, grow and develop flavor) in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight At this point you can freeze the dough in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Cover the unattractive license plate holes in your front bumper with our
Painted Bumper Plugs. The perfect solution when you
need to remove the front plate for shows or give your BMW a cleaner look, or if
you bought your BMW out of state and you no longer require a front license
plate. Installation is simple and easy as the Bumper Plugs are inserted directly
into the holes and removable with ease, no damage to the painted bumper. All
plugs come in pairs.
NOTE: The plugs must fit
1/4" to
5/16" holes, nothing larger, nothing smaller
Remember, all paint fades with
age. Fading increases with age and exposure to the elements. The paint on your
new product will be factory fresh and may not match a car with faded paint.
Since all painted products are not actually paint blended and matched for your
specific vehicle, slight variations may occur.
Available BMW Colors
About the Painting Process
For quality assurance, each product is finished using a 14-stage proprietary
process, these plugs have an exact factory match to the bumper of your car. Our
paints are combined with adhesive promoters and chip resisting agents to prolong
the life and look of your part. The unique paint process requires over 11 days
to complete. Note that our top quality paints will exactly
match the color of a brand new vehicle painted in that color. On certain colors,
exposure to the sun will slightly change/fade the color of the vehicle,
especially with older vehicles or vehicles in warm climates. In these cases the
paint may not be a 100% match to the color on the car, but will be extremely
How to Find Your Paint Code
Open the hood you will find that on one of the shock towers, probably passenger
side, there will be a black label, on this label will be the color name written
in German along with the paint code number at the bottom.
Use spaces to separate tags. Use single quotes (') for phrases.

Forms Jobs
Area plans are documents prepared by the City-County Planning Board staff that analyze the existing characteristics, trends, problems and opportunities of specific areas of the city and county. These can be the larger areas defined for the Legacy Update Series of area plans, or more targeted areas based on road corridors or interchanges on the proposed Northern Beltway.
With the assistance of local citizens, recommendations for future land use, zoning changes, and transportation and public facility improvements are formulated. While area plans do not change zoning in the area, they do serve as guides for the Planning Board and elected officials to use when making zoning and other planning decisions.
Upon adoption, each area plan becomes part of the comprehensive plan. While the area plan program seeks extensive involvement on the part of residents, property owners, and investors, the Planning Board has the responsibility to assure that each plan is consistent with the broad public interest and other elements of Legacy 2030. For more information on the area plan process, please see the links below to area plan information handouts.
The Legacy Update Series of area plans were implemented between 2012-2018 and cover all of Forsyth County, with the exception of three Rural Policy Areas.
Below is an interactive map that shows the status of the Update series area plans in Forsyth County. You may click on an area to obtain the name of the plan, its status, adoption year and link to the adopted plan, or you may enter an address in Forsyth County to zoom into a plan area to obtain the same information.
You may also view a full-page, interactive version of the map directly in the ArcGIS Online viewer or print a page-size countywide Area Plan Status Map [pdf/481kb/1p].
Area Plan Status Report January 2019 [pdf /10.9mb/68p]
In addition to guiding community decisions related to development and land use, area plans are intended to assist the Winston-Salem City Council, the Forsyth County Commissioners, and small town councils in identifying future community initiatives, programs, and capital improvement needs. The Area Plan Implementation Status Report is completed every two years to monitor the status of recommendations made in these plans. This report should be used as a tool to guide work program development and capital improvement decisions for City and County departments. The report also provides a comprehensive resource on the status of plan recommendations for interested citizens.
Area Plans in Central Winston-Salem
Area Plans in Suburban Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and Towns
Older area plans, published prior to the adoption of the 2001 Legacy Plan are available at the office of the City-County Planning Board for viewing in the office.

This chapter describes new features of the Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) and provides pointers to additional information:
The following notification enhancements are introduced:
AQ Event Notification Infrastructure provides asynchronous communication of database events from the suppliers/publishers of their events to the consumers/registrations. The event monitor sends these notifications. In order to meet the demands of increased notification use, the notification server in 11g is enhanced to a parallel notification server consisting of a coordinator and a set of subordinate processes. The parallel notification server offers a capability to process a greater volume of notifications, faster notification processing and lower shared memory use for staging notification events.
Sometimes a very large number of events occur in the database and it is important that applications not be overwhelmed with notifications. The preferred strategy is for notifications to be grouped and delivered at application-specified intervals and in application-specified formats. Oracle Streams AQ provides the infrastructure for notification grouping by time for AQ and
DBCHANGE namespaces. Users have the option of specifying the grouping time interval and the predefined format in which to be notified at the end of those grouping intervals. Users can also specify when to start sending grouping notifications and how many times to send grouping notifications.
The following sections describe diagnosability:
This release adds new performance views for persistent messaging statistics and notification statistics. The Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) has also been enhanced for displaying queues with the most persistent messaging operations, allowing for easier diagnosability of AQ performance problems.
New dictionary views are provided to simplify subscription management for Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing.
DBA_SUBSCR_REGISTRATIONS and
USER_SUBSCR_REGISTRATIONS identify registered subscriptions, as well as detail information on the subscriptions. Runtime statistics for notifications are available with the
V$SUBSCR_REGISTRATION_STATS view.
Export import of queues is now fully supported at queue table level granularity. The user only needs to export the queue table. All the queues in the queue table, primary object grants, related objects like views, IOTs, rules are automatically exported.
EMON PL/SQL notifications are executed by background jobs. In this release these jobs are
DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs and are no longer conducted by
init.ora parameter
job_queue_processes does not need to be set for PL/SQL notifications or AQ propagations.
AQ propagation is now likewise handled by DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs rather than
DBMS_JOBS. Additionally, propagation takes advantage of the event based scheduling features of DBMS_SCHEDULER for better scalability.
The following Messaging Gateway enhancements are introduced:
Enhanced Messaging Gateway Agent in a Real Application Clusters (RAC) Environment
The Oracle Scheduler will be used to start Messaging Gateway agents. Messaging Gateway will leverage the Oracle Scheduler RAC service feature so that a Messaging Gateway agent is associated with a database service. If the instance on which a Messaging Gateway agent is running fails or is shutdown, the Oracle Scheduler will automatically restart the agent on another instance supporting that service.
Messaging Gateway is enhanced to enable multiple agents per instance and database. With this enhancement, you can now statically partition propagation jobs based on functionality, organizations, or workload and assign them to different MGW agents hosted by different database instances on different machines. This not only enables MGW to scale, but also enables propagation job grouping and isolation, which is important when MGW is used in a complicated application integration environment.
An enhanced PL/SQL API consolidates the propagation subscriber and the propagation schedule into a new propagation job. It is now easier to create and schedule a propagation job for the messaging gateway.

The last two sessions I attended at the NIRSA show in Minneapolis were "The Path to Becoming a Recreational Sports Director" followed by a senior management panel of university administrators.
In an independent study conducted in 2006 similar to one NIRSA conducted in 2005, the average salary of recreational sports directors is between $60,000 to $80,000 at institutions with an enrollment between 15,000 and 25,000 students. The independent study also showed that 70 percent of recreational sports directors are male. Most of those surveyed said that a master's degree is mandatory for their job.
The senior management panel reminded me a little of the financial panel at the IHRSA show and a little of what many keynote speakers talked about at the IHRSA show.
The panel members revealed their paths to their current positions, and all of them took different routes that included some risk taking, a common theme at IHRSA. One administrator was at one time out of work after his accounting firm closed. He eventually worked to get his doctorate, and in July, he'll become the new president of Alcorn State University in his home state of Mississippi.
The Virginia Tech tragedy was mentioned in almost all the sessions I attended. The senior management panel ended with a mention of how university rec centers can play a role in the development and improvement of student mental health.

Ideal Cocktail
3 Dashes Maraschino. (1 tsp. Luxardo Maraschino)
1/3 Italian Vermouth. (3/4 oz Carpano Antica)
2/3 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Aviation Gin)
1 Tablespoonful Grapefruit Juice. (1 TBSP Fresh Ruby Grapefruit Juice)
Shake (stir, please) well and strain into cocktail glass. (Grapefruit Peel.) Serve with a small nut.
This is actually rather unexpectedly good! I dunno if I would quite rate it as "Ideal", but certainly above average.
The Aviation Gin, is, of course, a non-traditional choice. Just seemed like it would be an OK in this drink, and, indeed it was.
I did add a quarter of a pickled walnut after I took the picture. Not bad, but it was kind of distracting, blowing away the rest of the drink flavors. I'd recommend sticking with the Grapefruit Peel alone unless you're a real fan of pickled nuts.
This was a really neat color which the picture doesn't quite capture. Kind of a glowy pink-ish tan.
I know I'm kind of going against the grain by stirring this drink which has fruit juice in it. But, it has such a small amount of juice and it has vermouth… Just seemed like a stirry kind of drink. Can't wait to see what kind of controversy I generate by stirring the Income Tax in a couple days…
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

The big story in global markets today is the big selloff in China, which has echoed into other markets.
A key culprit is the weak export data — data that's so bad people might be inclined to think it's all a statistical fluke.
Here's the big-picture chart, via Morgan Stanley. You can see the huge dropoff in the bue line, and you can see how the trade balance bar printed a rare and huge negative number.
But not everyone is giving the decline much credence.
Mamta Badkar explained yesterday that some of the distortions include issues related to the Luna New Year, as well as last year's "over-invoicing" which is a way that companies and their trading partners circumvented capital controls to get cash into the country.
Still it's a heart-stopping chart, and it's making waves in the market.
