The Kansas City Chiefs meet the Oakland Raiders Sunday…
If you're over 35 you can probably remember that this was once considered the top match-up in the AFC. Today there is no real wow factor where this game is concerned.
It's little more than a showdown between two bottom feeders.
Neither team has any ill feelings the other. The hate is long gone because both teams are just playing out the season, playing for jobs next year on their clubs or somewhere else.
The Raiders did get to play in a Super Bowl just over 10 years back with the throwaway Chiefs quarterback Rich Gannon. They lost of course.
This season though both teams are stinkers and neither has any stars or anything much to watch at all. I'm sorry, yes we have Jamaal Charles, but he's just a good scat back, nothing more.
The Black Hole in Oakland should eat the loser Chiefs up.
I'd like to say the Chiefs are throwing games to gain the No. 1 pick, however nobody knows who that guy would be or why.
It's likely we'll have a new GM and Coach by January anyway.
Scott Pioli has to go down as the worst drafting GM ever. He's a major joke. The stadium's nice and clean though.

Guys: How would you like to propose to you dream girl?
Girls: How would you like to get proposed to?
The common way or an original way
My cousin's husband proposed to her on the top of mt. Snowden and my dad proposed to my mother by spelling will you marry me with stones on a beach.
Most Helpful Girl
I would hope that it is very romantic and from the heart. And very personal, meaning, not in a public way. Now, that doesn't mean it can't happen in public, I just wouldn't want it to be a spectacle, no jumbo tron! Your dad was a thoughtful romantic, I'm sure he has some great advise for you, and maybe your mom too.
Perhaps you could take her to one of your favorite places as a couple and have a romantic dinner or picnic, wine & cheese. Then afterward, tell her all of the things that you love about being together with her, all of their little things that make life happy and special, worth coming home to. Things that make you want to keep coming home to her for the rest of your life. Then ask her if she would like to come home to you for the rest of her life.
That's kind of how I see it... to each his own! I'd like a place that I could come back to every year too. Just to "rekindle" a little spark.
Good luck.00|00|0
good answer, I'm not proposing to anyone any time soon , I was just wondering
and I'm not a lesbian
No, sorry, I just mixed up my pronouns. Ooops! No offense.

Safe Motherhood
The Safe Motherhood Project
What We Do
The Safe Motherhood Project is a team of Canadian volunteers and trained Guatemalan midwives who travel annually (since 2003) to rural Guatemala to teach emergency birthing skills to traditional midwives. Each course runs for 5 days. We teach using a hands-on approach, using an illustrated manual (many of the students are illiterate). The course uses explicit pelvic models and realistic dolls to give a practical understanding of various birthing situations and newborn resuscitation. Women practice individually and as groups. We discuss issues of reproductive health and family planning. At the end of the course each traditional midwife receives a kit of birthing supplies and a diploma, representing for many the first recognition of any education in their lives. The course has been very well received and each year there have been more and more communities requesting the course. So far, we have gone to over 15 villages to teach.
Why this Project is Important
High maternal mortality is a concern for the Mayan women of Guatemala. Hemorrhage, high blood pressure and eclampsia, and infection are the major causes of death of women in childbirth. Seventy percent of Mayan women give birth at home under the care of a traditional midwife, who in many cases has had no formal education or training. In these rural highlands, the closest hospital is often several hours away. Evidence shows that outcomes for pregnant women are better if they are assisted by skilled attendants during childbirth. This is why the course we offer is vital to helping decrease the number of maternal deaths in rural Guatemala.
Future Plans
Our vision is to continue with the training of traditional midwives, as well as to further train others to teach our course. This course not only teaches skills but also empowers marginalized women. We work with public health clinics and hospitals to enhance communication between health care professionals and traditional midwives, with very positive results. Our project is supported by local government.

Arezona, NY (PressExposure) May 04, 2009 -- When a homeowner is also a pool owner he or she will eventually face the need to deal with underwater pool repair issues, swimming pool repairs, pool cover repair issues or instances involving plaster pool repair. Some pool owners might have to eventually deal with the need to repair pool tiles, or issues related to an above ground pool leak too. Thankfully, the Pool Repair Guide is an online resource jam packed with helpful information related to pool repair kits, pool repair costs, pool repair companies, pool repair supplies, and more. For every pool owner seeking sound advice about pool repair and maintenance, the Pool Repair Guide is a solid and educational, free resource to turn to: filled with comprehensive articles related to pool repairs of all kinds, the site offers easy-to-understand information and tips.
At the Pool Repair Guide [http://www.poolrepairguide.com/], the pool owner can learn about swimming pool cover repair and whether or not swimming pool repair kits will serve to remedy a particular issue. Pool cover repair requires an expedient fix so that the pool remains continually protected from the elements. Pool cover repair is also something the pool owner should take care of immediately since it is the cover that will help in keeping other, more serious pool repair issues from forming. Via the Pool Repair Guide, the pool owner can find out about simple pool cover repair techniques, what pool repair kits include and if swimming pool repair kits are an affordable alternative.
By using the information supplied by the Pool Repair Guide [http://www.poolrepairguide.com/], the pool owner can help in keeping pool repair cost related concerns to a minimum. The tips, advice, and superb techniques offered in the Pool Repair Guide will help the pool owner keep the pool cover, the pump, the pool, and pool tiles in tip top shape at all times. The end result is that the pool owner will extend the longevity of pool equipment and therefore maximize the life of the pool as well as the value of his or her initial investment.
Got a question about swimming pool tiles and/or how to repair pool tiles? Maybe you are interested in learning about methods for cleaning pool tiles? The Pool Repair Guide [http://www.poolrepairguide.com/] supplies plenty of information about how to repair pool tiles, how to handle pool coping tile, and how to fix vinyl pool tiles. The Pool Repair Guide offers valuable insight in how to save money on the act of maintaining pool tiles and how to keep all repair costs to a super-low minimum too.
Perhaps you are a pool owner that suspects a problem with pool liner leaks or a pool pump leak. Again, the Pool Repair Guide will prove helpful to you. Pool owners looking to learn how to find a pool leak can get some helpful hints on finding pool leaks from the Pool Repair Guide. In addition, information about how to appropriately handle pool liner leaks, an above ground pool leak, an inground pool leak, a pool filter leak, or a pool light leak is presented on the website as well. Pool owners will also appreciate the instructive articles on how to easily repair pool pumps too.
Dealing with pool related repairs will require that the pool owner have specific swimming pool repair supplies: such pool repair supplies are usually several professional pool suppliers. Choosing a pool repair company becomes an easier endeavor, since the Pool Repair Guide points the pool owner in the right direction. From finding pool maintenance contractors to discovering pool installation contractors, the Pool Repair Guide makes handling all swimming pool related installation concerns, repair concerns, and maintenance needs easier to manage.
âAfter having our new pool for about four months, I noticed a potential leak near the pool pump. The tips and guidance I found on the Pool Repair Guide helped me test the ground area so that I could figure out if it was an actual leak or not.â
Michael L. Pool owners looking to have an easier time managing pool maintenance, installation, and repair can count on the Pool Repair Guide for help. Visit the Pool Repair Guide for more information at: [http://www.poolrepairguide.com/].

Putting their hand up for extended periods of time and when the waitress doesn't come, they look annoyed and then go over to the waitress. Or walking into a restaurant saying 'two' meaning two people and then barging through and basically going down to sit at a table
Most Helpful Guy
First isn't rude, the waitress isn't doing their job properly. I've had to do this - I want to pay and leave (or get another drink or whatever I need) and if they don't come to me after an extended period of time, I go to them.
Second one is stupid and rude. I used to work as the host in a restaurant so it was my job to greet people and seat them and give them menus. Barging past and seating yourself could well mean you've sat in a section that isn't being covered right now, or at a table that is reserved, or that hasn't been bussed, or whatever.11|00|0

Beginning in the 1940s, a group of painters who we now collectively refer to as The New York School (or Abstract Expressionism artists) broke away from conventional technique and subject matter to better express subjective emotional reality in their art practice. As the name suggest, these paintings were abstract and simultaneously expressed the maker's inner state of mind and the universal truths of the human condition. Historically speaking, these artists were working in the wake of the Great Depression, experiencing the crisis and aftermath of World War II, and painting in the era of bebop jazz and the Beat poets.
Artists in New York during the mid-20th century were also exposed to the work of many Europeans who sought refuge in the United States during World War II, such as Salvador Dalí, and Max Ernst. The techniques used by these Surrealist artists, like automatic drawing and free improvisation, were an important component of the techniques adopted by Abstract Expressionists. The most widely known artists from this period, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, embody the two elements that Abstract Expressionist painters chose to explore: gesture and fields of color.
Jackson Pollock used a radical technique consisting in dripping and splashing paint onto a canvas with sticks and the ends of brushes. His paintings are created through dynamic gestures, and the resulting images are highly expressive and dramatic. These pieces are considered the first entirely non-objective works in the history of art. The enormous scale of the images, the lack of subject matter, and the technique he used was shocking and innovative for its time.
This type of action painting is based predominantly on spontaneity, which gives the work a level of immediacy. Many other artists besides Pollock used action and gesture to convey vigorous energy. Instead of letting paint drip onto the canvas, artist Lee Krasner (who also happened to be Pollock's wife) used traditional brushes but applied paint in a frenzied tangle of lines that seem to explode on the two-dimensional surface. While other gestural painters filled their canvases, Joan Mitchell often chose to leave passages of her works blank, letting her flurries of color have room to breath. Willem de Kooning, who along with Pollock came to embody the popular image of the macho -the hard-drinking archetype of Abstract Expressionism- never truly abandoned real subject matter; his famous Woman series is highly abstracted and violently gestural, but still rooted in reality.
In the other side of the spectrum, Mark Rothko's work explores the emotionalism that can be conveyed through large-scale blocks of color. He was deeply interested in the type of meditative or contemplative response that the juxtaposition of color can elicit from the viewer. Rothko's paintings usually consist in a couple of flat, large swaths of luminous color. Again, the vast scale of the works is crucial for their effectiveness.
The washes or layers of color are supposed to be seen at close proximity so that the viewer would be enveloped in the image. Being surrounded by those fields of color can be a sublime, quasi-religious experience that can only be achieved by pure abstraction.
As Mark Rothko once said, "We assert man's absolute emotions. We don't need props or legends. We create images whose realities are self evident. Free ourselves from memory, association, nostalgia, legend, myth. Instead of making cathedrals out of Christ, man or life, we make it out of ourselves, out of our own feelings."
Other color field artists achieved a similar effect using different methods. Instead of working with conventional brushes, Helen Frankenthaler chose to create fields of color by pouring thinned paint directly onto the canvas, letting it pool in organic shapes.
Barnett Newman interrupted his large swaths of color with 'zips', or vertical bands that bisect his canvases, and Clyfford Still used thick impasto paint to juxtapose bright, jagged flashes of color. All of them created images that allow the eye to wander, offering the viewer the opportunity to stop and experience the myriad of feelings that these colors can arouse.
This group of artists shaped a watershed moment in American art. The breakthroughs made by Abstract Expressionist painters effectively shifted the focus of the art world from war-torn Europe to New York City.

ENGLAND are on course to win the women's Home International title for the ninth time in 10 years after producing a magnificent display of low scoring to beat Scotland by five matches to three, with one halved, at Carlow in Southern Ireland yesterday.
Leading 2-1 after the morning foursomes, England got off to the ideal start in the singles when Rebecca Hudson, three times the Daily Telegraph/Center Parcs junior champion, was three under par in beating the Scottish title holder, Linzi Morton, 3 and 2.
Kirsty Fisher was five under par beating Anne Laing 6 and 4 and Kim Andrew was two under defeating Laura Moffat 3 and 1.
In the other opening-day match Ireland beat Wales 6-3. Today Wales play Scotland and Ireland meet England.
Meanwhile, at Odense in Denmark, Irishman Stephen Brown and Lincoln teenager David Skinns shared the first-round lead after having course-record rounds of 65, seven under par, in the European Amateur Individual Championship.
Little by little Dawn Collins is working her way to success in the Burhill Family Foursomes, writes Ted Barrett.
Collins is a member there, though now living in Auchterarder, close by Gleneagles. Two years ago she lost, with son Chris, at the 22nd in round three, and last year she and elder son David lost in the final to Veronica and Robert Marchbanks.
Collins, partnered again by Chris, is a strong driver but her masterstroke yesterday turned out to be a chip down a grassy bank at the 17th to a foot or so for par, after Ben Vincent had chipped dead from 450 yards. A half there led to a one-hole win for the Collins, who are Scots to the core.

We arrived mid afternoon and there were plenty of spaces in the free car park. Check in was quick and friendly and we were in our room on the top floor at the rear of the hotel in no time. The view was not great - the front of the hotel appears to have the views towards the Mississippi. We used the outside pool, which was a reasonable size and temperature, although maybe too warm for some. The reception provided us with additional towels. The rooms are very clean and fresh with all the normal amenities and conveniences you would normally expect and need. The beds are very comfortable and we all had a good nights sleep.
After our swim we drove around the town and the colonial houses. A very present drive although it would have been a long walk from the hotel into town. That night we walked from the hotel to a park overlooking the Mississippi for the fire works display. Quite a crowd turned up and everyone we met were very well behaved and friendly. The 4th July fireworks display was amazing - much,much better than the few rockets we were expecting. The display went on for over 15 minutes and was comparable with the very best we had seen in the uk, and this is only a small usa town!!
The free breakfast was fine. We arrived at breakfast at the same time as guests on a coach trip. We still easily found a table, but some items of food went quickly and took some time to replace. The bins were full and overflowing when we arrived and and still the same by the time we left - the floor around the bins became very messy and unhygienic. These however are very small issues and we would certainly stay again, if we were in the area, and would recommend this hotel to others.
When we left the hotel to drive to Memphis we travelled along the Natchez parkway for around 20-30 miles before we joined the interstate - we found this was a nice detour.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

text: Hi guys! Lately some of you have manifested interest in my ECU chip modification for the 3B engine code, so I thought I'd share this with all of you so maybe more of you can take advantage of the offer involved. I have done a modified chipset for the 3B engine all by myself with the help of a German friend who is an engineer in engine management systems and a pretty good 20vt tuner himself. My friend has helped me a lot understand how the ECU and all maps inside it work. I had been dreaming of doing my own chips ever since I've first driven a 20vt car and wasn't satisfied with stock performance, nor with other people's chips so this has finally come true and I did it all by myself, under supervision of my friend who advised me and confirmed my modifications choices. The chipset should provide approximately 275-280 HP with a pretty massive improvement in torque as well. I don't want to say too much with the numbers because one could easily be unsatisfied after a dyno pull and say "my car only made 270 HP" or whatever, and these things also depend on the general shape of the engine... The chips are done in a very conservative way and this means that all stock security settings are retained (like timing retard for detected knocking, high intake air temperature fuel enrichment/timing retard and so on) and they use a 2.5 Bar pressure transducer, which means that should the ECU decide boost should be lowered (at high altitude for instance), boost will drop to the factory "limp home mode" value of 0.4 Bar absolute if so the ECU decides (1.4 on the dash gauge). This is a lot better than working with a stiffer WG spring because boost is totally controlled by the ECU. Boost pressures are as follows: 1.4 Bar absolute up to 4500 RPM, 1.1 Bar at 6000 and 0.85 at 7000, for Audi dash display-like figures add 1 Bar (atmmospheric pressure at sea level). Performance has been tested through and through for the last period of time on various cars (S2s, 200q20v's and my 3B equipped coupe quattro) and everything works perfectly as I thought from the start. Fuel economy is also much improved under part throttle operation, assuming all engine sensors are in good working order (the infamous MFTS for instance causes an increase in fuel consumption when it goes bad, at the same time as the boost reduction occurs, due to the fact that the ECU thinks the engine is overheating). The price for the upgrade is 300 Euro a set (2 chips and a 2.5 Bar pressure transducer in exchange of your stock 2 Bar unit) and I'll gladly drop the price to 250 Euros a set if more than 10 people are in. I can also provide a different price for people who already have a 2.5 Bar pressure transducer or different hardware installed on the engine (RS2 turbo for instance). Please contact me offlist for more details but keep the discussion on-list if you think your questions are of general interest! Mihnea

The two problems that gave me grief were directory locations, and permissions on the files. If you tell tftpd to run from a directory, I believe it basically chroot's itself in that directory. Thus /tftpboot becomes /tftpboot/tftpboot.
Depending on the variant of tftpd, it is possible to run it from the command line, thus preventing it from going into background mode. Do this and turn up the verbosity, and useful information will get spat out on the terminal it tftpd was started from.
If all else fails, packet sniffers come in handy as well. John Gary Gale wrote:

That means you put it on a tftp server located on a machine that has a network connection to your alpha, and you tell SRM to boot from the network device: for tulip cards, this is boot ewa0 -fl ""', and I recall that there is another device name for the other ethernet chipsets that SRM supports for netbooting but don't remember what that device name is. (If in doubt, "show dev" should show you whether there are SRM-recognized ethernet cards as devices beginning with "e"). This is hoping that at least your ethernet chip is supported from SRM, even if your SCSI chip isn't.Right, where to start ...I've got an existing Linux machine on my internal network which provides DNS and DHCP services to my group of boxes; this machine is called hyperion; the Alpha I'm trying to boot is called nemesis.On hyperion, I've installed tftpd, which is configured to be invoked via xinetd. My /etc/xinet.d/tftp looks like thisservice tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -l -s /tftpboot disable = no }I've placed the downloaded boot.img in /tftpboot and added the -l switch so that I'll get some logging output in syslog ... hopefully.Seeing as I've already got DHCP serving my internal network, I've added a definition for the Alpha to /etc/dhcpd.conf, which looks like this (albeit slightly cut down; I've omitted other definitions for machines which shouldn't have any interest in this)subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { default-lease-time 604800; max-lease-time 2592000; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.200; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; option domain-name "vicchi.org"; allow bootp; allow booting; host nemesis { hardware ethernet 00:00:F8:75:52:20; fixed-address 192.168.1.110; allow bootp; allow booting; filename "/tftpboot/boot.img"; } }For comparison, here are my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf settings: host quetz { hardware ethernet 08:00:2B:E7:94:9B; fixed-address quetz.dodds.net; option broadcast-address 188.8.131.52; option routers 184.108.40.206; filename "alpha-netboot.img"; next-server minbar; }On the Alpha at the SRM console I've done the followingshow devdva0.0.0.0.1 DVA0 ewa0.0.0.3.0 EWA0 00-00-F8-75-52-20 pqa0.0.0.4.0 PQA0 PCI EIDE pqb0.0.0.4.0 PQB0 PCI EIDEset ewa0_protocols bootp set ewa0_mode fast boot ewa0(boot ewa0.0.0.3.0 -flags 0)Trying BOOTP boot.Brodcasting BOOTP Request... ..file open failed for bootp/ewa0.0.0.3.0 bootstrap failure Retrying, type ^C to abort ...From syslog on hyperion I can see the bootp requests being logged; I get three pairs of request/response logs for each attempt that the Alpha makes to net bootMay 20 15:40:55 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:00:f8:75:52:20 via eth0 (non-rfc1048) May 20 15:40:55 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 192.168.1.110 to nemesis (00:00:f8:75:52:20) via eth0 May 20 15:41:05 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:00:f8:75:52:20 via eth0 (non-rfc1048) May 20 15:41:05 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 192.168.1.110 to nemesis (00:00:f8:75:52:20) via eth0 May 20 15:50:31 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:00:f8:75:52:20 via eth0 (non-rfc1048) May 20 15:50:31 hyperion dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 192.168.1.110 to nemesis (00:00:f8:75:52:20) via eth0and that's it, I don't see any tftp activity logged and the Alpha seems blissfully unaware that it's being responded to.From this, it seems that the Alpha is transmitting the bootp requests but it seems to be ignoring the replies. Which indicates some form of configuration error, probably on the part of the dhcpd.conf file (?), but after perusing the man pages and doing some Googling I can't see that I've omitted anything.So once again, I'm stumped. Any ideas?Apologies for not replying sooner on this; the last couple of weeks have been manic (to say the least) due to work pressures and a family crisis so this "project" has had to be put on the back burner for a while ...Are you sure that your tftp server needs an absolute path for filenames under /tftpboot? Maybe just changing to "boot.img" for the filename would do the trick.No, I'm not 100% sure and the man page for my tftp server doesn't give any hints. Having said that, I've tried almost every path naming variant I could think of, but still got the same lack of results.It could also be a problem with the alpha ignoring the bootp responses as you say, in which case I fear I don't have any ideas how to fix it. Perhaps a different dhcp server would work better?I think I've got to make the assumption that the hardware's fine - I haven't seen anything to indicate otherwise - else I might as well give up now and I don't want this to beat me. Hey, call me stubborn!Currently, both the dhcp server (dhcp-2.0p15-8) and the tftp server (tftp-server-0.17-14) are hosted on a RHL 8.0 box.I think my next plan of attack is to re-host them on one of my boxes running the latest version of Debian stable and re-try to see if there's any incompatibilities being introduced as a result of these "slightly old" versions.If that doesn't work, then I think some packet sniffing might be in order to see whether there's any tftp traffic at all.I'll keep you posted. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The level of support on this list is fantastic. I just hope that one day I'll be able to return the favour to someone else who's having a related (or not!) problem.Cheers Gary

text: I am sure we have all heard the term "gateway drugs" - for those who haven't the term is used most often in reference to marijuana, with the idea being that if a young person trys marijuana it opens the door to more dangerous serious drugs...hence, "gateway"... SO - I was thinking about this concept applied to purses. I have noticed a lot of members "graduating" from one brand to the next and I was curious if there is a path that a purse-lover follows with respect to brands bought. I started with Chloe - then balenciaga - then Dior - NOW Chanel - what is next for me? HERMES????? I laugh, but it is almost as if Hermes is the top-dog of purse buying, and those of us who say we will not buy one when we start admiring fine bags - often change our tune after we have experienced other brands. So, what do you guys/gals think? Is there any truth to the notion of "gateway" purses??

Results are in from Montpelier's election. With about 2400 ballots cast, and contested City Council races in every district, here are the results:
Hollar (I) 1525
Hallsmith 782
Council D-1
Bate 401
Hooper (I) 357
Council D-2
Guerlain (I) 441
Guertin 315
Shadis 69
Council D-3
Turcotte 394
Jones 278
School Budget
Yes 1130
No 1211
My impression is that the mayoral race was closer than expected. Among people I talked to, most people agreed with the issues that Gwen Hallsmith raised (for example, over 1600 people voted for the state bank, Hallsmith's pet issue) but were unanimous that given the disarray she presided over when she worked for the city she would have been a disastrous choice for mayor.
The austerity candidates in Districts 2 and 3, incumbent Thierry Guerlain and Justin Turcotte, won handily; Guerlain had two challengers, neither of whom ran much of a campaign, and their total came fairly close, but not close enough to say that vote-splitting among the opposition made a difference.
District 1 was close and it is quite likely that the late publicity that Andy Hooper, a genuinely nice guy, received for unguarded comments in some e-mails on the Hallsmith affair made a difference in that race.
As usual, every other proposal but one passed overwhelmingly. The one exception was the school budget, where even a small budget increase would have led to a large percentage tax increase. It's back to the drawing board for the school board.
I continue to doubt that Montpelier voters are as conservative as the Vibrant and Affordable Montpelier faction on the Council. Winning candidate Dona Bate took a progressive, pro-housing position and I hope she is able to advance those issues. Meanwhile, in upcoming elections early and committed work will be needed to return Montpelier to a more progressive vision of what the city can and should be.

» News
wow, what a week
Yes, I am still here, still going to post. It has been a busy few weeks.
Last weekend my family and I headed to Memphis for my wife's 20th year class reunion. The children had a great time with their grandparents, and Amy and I had too much fun enjoying time together and with her old class mates – but that's another story! Then I headed to WorshipGod08….
I do what to praise God for this past week though. A lot has gone on, and I have seen Him work in some awesome ways. A little background. Pastor Juan had suggested that we, the staff leadership should attend this conference together back some time ago. We had made our reservations and our wonderful travel planner had booked our flights. I was excited as this was to be the first time we as a staff had gone together to any of these conferences and knew it was going to be an awesome time.
It was only after the plane tickets had been booked that I found out we would be flying thru Memphis on the way to Gaithersburg, MD…. yes, Memphis, where my wife's class reunion would be taking place. Well, that seems awful silly of me to drive back to Austin on a Monday so I could fly back to Memphis (on the way to Maryland) on Tuesday….. why don't I just plan on catching up with them at the Memphis airport on Tuesday and let my family stay in Memphis for the week? Great Idea…. or at least I thought so.
I tried to change my ticket, but it was going to cost $450, almost twice the price of the original ticket. So after talking to a few people I decided I would check in on line for my flight, "miss" my flight from Austin, and "catch up" in Memphis…. after all, the airlines I usally fly always seemed to help me get to my final destination, right? BAD IDEA. First, this wasn't the airlines I usally fly. Second, well, read on.
I check in online Tuesday AM, and I notice a little disclaimer at the bottom of the page saying if you don't notify the airlines before the missing the first leg of your flight the travel ticket is null and void….. so I call the airline to let them know what I am going to do, and am told I can't do that. I am told that my ticket will be cancelled if I do, and it is going to cost me $1680 to change my ticket. Thanks, but no thanks. So I start praying. I know I am suppose to be there. We have others start praying. I know I need to try everything I can. So Amy takes me to the airport (memphis) – sure enought, I don't have a reservation anymore (the plane had already left Austin at this point, Matt tells me later they came on the plane right before shutting the door asking if Jeffrey Jones was anywhere on the plane….) BUT, what's this? I can still check my luggage? Okay, I wasn't planning on it, but yes, one bag to Baltimore!
So I go thru secuity (yes, I had my boarding pass that I had printed earlier, yes they questioned me about being there before my flight had arrived…) and go back to the gate. I ask the gate agent to check my seat assignment while I prayed furvently. No sir, you are not listed in that seat….. infact sir, you are not listed in any seat…. here let me take care of that for you…. Praise you Jesus!
Now I admit, I was nervous as anything till the plane took off from Memphis, but I did meet up with the pastors and we got on the plane and left on time. So I made it….. BUT.
Brenda, who arranges our travel (THANKYOU!) called to confirm my return trip, and sure enough, my ticket was cancelled. The airlines said there was NO WAY I should have been allowed on the flight there, and there was NO WAY I would be allowed on the flights home. I started thinking about what I was going to do on my extended stay in D.C…… But Brenda was able to work out a return trip for me after begging and pleading with the suppervisors at the airlines, who assured her this was the ONLY exception they have or will EVER make, they reinstaited my ticket for only a $100 change fee. PRAISE GOD.
Meantime it has been an AWESOME conference, I will post more about that later.

Explain Jefferson's quote, "I believe that states can best govern our home concerns, and the general government our foreign ones."
- print Print
- list Cite
Thomas Jefferson was an antifederalist. This means that he was generally in favor of the states having more power than the federal government. That is what he is saying in this quote.
Jefferson is saying that the state governments should have the power over everything that is domestic policy -- things that do not involve foreign governments. For example, Jefferson would have thought that states should control taxes and things like that. He thought that this would keep the national government from imposing bad policies on the states the way that England had imposed bad policies on the colonies.
But he is also saying that the national (what he calls the "general") government needs to take care of foreign policy. The states should not be able to form separate alliances with other countries, for example.
So he is saying that the state governments should handle domestic policy and the national government should handle foreign policy.

This past summer, my niece and nephew – along with a few thousand other families – entered a lottery to purchase an apartment "on paper" in a new project being developed through Israel's Mechir Le'mishtaken program. When they won the right to purchase an apartment at a subsidized price, they asked me whether they should buy.

Over the past few months, numerous articles have been written analyzing recent Jerusalem real estate sales data. Curiously, there has been a lack of agreement regarding how to interpret the statistics.
Opening Day of King George Street, Dec 1924 (Credit: Public Domain)
King George Street, located in the heart of downtown Jerusalem, was created in 1924 during the British Mandate period, and named in honor of Britain's then-reigning King George V.
King George Street is famous for a lot of firsts.
We recently marketed an apartment in Jerusalem's Greek Colony. After three families made similar initial proposals, one buyer raised his bid and the owner accepted his revised offer. While the lawyers were revising the contract and the buyer was completing his due diligence, another potential purchaser showed up at the seller's door and submitted an offer that was 500,000 NIS higher than the accepted price. The owner, in an impressive show of menshlichkeit, refused to accept the offer, explaining that he already had a handshake on the deal.
On Tu B'Av – the holiday of love – I was in a small Talpiot, Jerusalem alley lined with automobile repair shops, when I was invited to join a Mincha (afternoon prayer) service. The prayers took place in a tiny office behind one of the garages, filled with a quorum of mechanics, replete with oil-stained hands and grime under their fingernails.

In 2008, residents of the neighborhoods that bordered the abandoned tracks, together with newly-elected mayor Nir Barkat, presented a vision to create an easily accessible green oasis within the capital's urban fabric. The residents' resolve and solidarity helped them emerge victorious, and Park Hamesila – or Train Track Park – was completed in 2013.

Two clients recently asked us to help them purchase investment properties in Israel. Liat lives in Israel and wanted to buy a small Jerusalem apartment for her children, which they could flip in a few years to acquire a larger home in a less expensive community. Jonathan wanted to get a "piece of the rock" which he could sell in a decade and use the profits to purchase a larger apartment for his family's use.

A few months ago, my friend and I agreed to meet at the garden where 29th meets 35th. Sounds like we were meeting in Manhattan to catch a sporting event at Madison Square Garden. Better than that, we were getting together in the center of Jerusalem.
Jaffa Road, circa 1950 (Photo: Fritz Cohen, public domain)
One of the most famous – and longest – streets of Jerusalem is Rechov Yaffo, or Jaffa Street. It runs from the entrance of the city all the way to the Old City walls. Why is this main thoroughfare in Jerusalem named after a city located adjacent to Tel Aviv?
We recently were involved in a very small deal in Jerusalem, and I mean tiny. We sold a 15 square meter (sqm), or approximately 160 square foot, studio in Rechavia for 500,000 NIS, or $130,000.
Everything about the unit appeared to be kosher, despite its diminutive size: the building drawings were recorded in the municipality and the unit was registered in TABU (land registry). Accordingly, and against our advice, the purchaser did not apply for a mortgage prior to signing the contract, as he had good credit and was only planning to borrow a relatively small portion of the purchase price.
That was a mistake.

After the establishment of the State of Israel, many architecturally distinctive homes got chopped up into small apartments and were populated by displaced families and immigrant families. By the 1960s, these formerly majestic buildings became rundown, due to the heavy wear and tear that they endured, and many of these structures were abandoned.
Throughout the world, many neighborhoods have groups of streets with names related to a specific theme. For example, growing up in Long Beach, New York, I lived on Walnut Street and my friends lived on Olive, Pine, Maple and Beech. Similarly, most of Jerusalem's neighborhoods have street name themes.

In addition to its wonderful tourist attractions - the Ramon Crater (Machtesh) and the luxurious Bresheet Spa - Mitzpe Ramon is gaining a reputation as an affordable neighborhood which offers its residents a wonderful quality of life.

US Training of Mexican Troops Has Escalated in Step With Mexico's Murder Rate
Bill Conroy
The Narcosphere
February 19, 2013
US training of Mexican military forces spiked in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, coinciding with a sharp rise in drug-war homicides in Mexico, an analysis of records made public under the Foreign Assistance Act show.
The training in those two years, funded by the US Department of Defense, and to a lesser extent by the US Department of State, covered a wide range of military skill sets and involved hundreds of training programs offered in the US to Mexican forces as well as dozens (at least 60) provided inside Mexico.
For example, in Mexico City during that two-year period, the US military provided to Mexican security forces training in, among other tactics, "asymmetrical conflict," "anti-terrorism," and "open-source intelligence" gathering. US military training also was provided in other parts of Mexico, including the state of Campeche, where infantry, marksmanship and intelligence programs were offered to Mexican troops; and in Chiapas, in fiscal 2011, infantry training was provided to Mexican Marines over two-week periods in April and September.
The latter training programs might be considered particularly sensitive for Mexican politics, given the Mexican state of Chiapas is home to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN, in its Spanish initials).
The Zapatistas are a rebel indigenous group governing more than 1,000 rural communities that rose up in arms in 1994. However, since peace talks were initiated in 1995, the Zapatistas have not fired a shot and have converted to peaceful and civil resistance.
In the 1990s, under Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, a member of the PRI Party, an unsuccessful, violent counter-insurgency campaign was waged against the Zapatistas that involved the use of both the Mexican military and civilian paramilitary forces — as part of an effort to destroy the indigenous movement and its autonomous communities.
On another sensitive front for Latin American/US relations, Foreign Assistance Act records reveal that US military training also was provided to Mexican soldiers in fiscal 2010 and 2011 by the US Department of Defense's Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC). The Institute was formerly the School of the Americas, which, in past decades, provided training to some of the most notorious violators of human rights in Latin America.
WHINSEC, now reportedly reformed and sensitive to human rights, offered at least 10 different training programs (some multiple times) to Mexican troops in fiscal 2010 and 2011 in subjects such as "counter-narco-terrorism," "joint operations" and "counterdrug ops," according to data provided to Congress under the requirements of the Foreign Assistance Act.
US officials interviewed by Narco News contend that any correlation between increased US military training and rising homicide rates in Mexico is nothing more than "anecdotal." They argue further that, based on the US military's internal "classified" assessments, there is no evidence that Mexican troops trained by the US are subsequently being drafted into organized crime rings or otherwise involved in narco-trafficking corruption. In fact, a DoD official actually argues that the homicide rate in Mexico could likely be reduced if there were a more "persistent" use of military force to counter the "cartel" violence in affected regions in Mexico.
However, the correlation between US training and Mexico's homicide rate remains striking, and there is public-source evidence pointing to significant corruption within Mexico's military that arguably could exploit US military training. Also, the trajectory of the drug war to date makes clear that the more Mexican security forces attack criminal organizations, the more violence those groups commit, including against civilians, to protect their markets and turf from both the government and rival organizations.
The hard-nosed military strategy pursued by former Mexican President Felipe Calderón in prosecuting the drug war, as a result, has failed to adequately account for the blowback on the civilian population of Mexico, some critics charge.
Mexico's new president, PRI Party member Enrique Peña Nieto, is promising a different course in the drug-war conflict, recently announcing plans to direct a considerable amount of funding, $9.2 billion (US dollars) this year, to social programs — though he offers few specifics. Peña Nieto also is promising to put an emphasis on aggressively pursuing street-level crime (extortion, kidnapping, gang violence) as opposed to targeting narco-trafficking "kingpins" — the latter a strategy pursued at great cost by his PAN Party predecessor.
But is Peña Nieto's drug-war strategy really that much different than Calderón's, or is his policy rhetoric simply a mask concealing a much-less innovative plan — an approach already being pursued by the Mexican security forces, with US help, for years now?
The Numbers
In fiscal 2006, ended Sept. 30 of that year, just prior to Calderón assuming the presidency in December, total funding for US training provided to Mexican troops totaled $1.3 million. In fiscal 2010 (which began Oct. 1, 2009), that figure jumped to $12.6 million; and a year later, for fiscal 2011 (the latest year for which finalized figures are available), US funding jumped to $15.2 million.
Likewise, the total number of Mexican security forces trained annually by the US military exploded from 632 in fiscal 2006 to 2,206 in fiscal 2011, according to figures released under the Foreign Assistance Act.
Homicides in Mexico totaled 10,452 in 2006, according to INEGI (the Mexican State Statistics Agency). In 2009, that number jumped to 19,803; and then to 25,757 in 2010; in 2011, the number rose again, to 27,213.
Though the uptick in Mexican homicides began in 2008, within a year of then-President Calderón's deploying the Mexican military in large numbers in the drug war, the three-year period (2009-2011) in which Mexican homicides hit a zenith during his presidency clearly tracks closely with the steep increase in US military training provided to Mexican troops over that same period.
That training is overseen by US Northern Command (Northcom), a DoD branch created in 2002 that is responsible for US homeland defense as well as security cooperation efforts with The Bahamas, Canada and Mexico.
Michael Kucharek, a spokesman for Northcom, explains that the Mexican government ultimately controls the US military training provided to Mexico, whether funded by DoD or the State Department.
"The way it's done is that it's up to the Mexico to decide what training we [the US military] provide," Kucharek says. "We provide them with a list [of options], and the Mexican military decides what they want."
Kucharek adds that "we [DoD] do not see the training as counter-productive" and stresses that any perceived relationship between US funding for military training for Mexico and that nation's homicide rate is "anecdotal." He insists there is no real evidence to show that the US-trained Mexican soldiers are joining the ranks of criminal groups and committing murders.
"We do not see it that way," he says. "We think journalists are making a leap (when they claim Mexican soldiers are joining organized crime in large numbers). Just so you know, we have our own way to check on those dynamics. … I think what is being taken as fact (with respect to Mexican soldiers trained by the US later being linked to narco-trafficking) may not, in fact, be fact."
Kucharek, in essence, says the blame for Mexico's huge homicide problem (more than 120,000 murdered and some 25,000 disappeared over Calderón's term in office) has more to do with inadequate military force.
"It is a war among cartels who themselves are under increasing pressure [by Calderón's military strategy]," he says. "Where it is not working, it is because of the lack of persistent force in some areas of Mexico to combat it [narco-violence].
"[New Mexican President] Peña Nieto now wants to sink more money into social programs as an alternative to the lure of the cartels," Kucharek adds. "We'll see if that works, but expect military-to-military and security cooperation [between the US and Mexico] to continue."
Kucharek's bullishness on the Mexican military and the benefits of US training, though, doesn't seem to square with the facts on the ground in Mexico that are not classified. A January 2013 report by Human Rights Watch points out that between January 2007 and April 2012, the Mexican military opened some 5,000 investigations into human rights violations carried out by Mexican soldiers against civilians, yet "military judges sentenced only 38 military personnel for human rights violations."
And corruption within the Mexican military is not a low-level problem, either. Last year, a Mexican Army general and three retired officers (two of them former generals) were arrested and accused of having ties to narco-traffickers. But Mexican generals being accused of links to narco-traffickers is nothing new. In the mid-1990s, Mexico's drug czar, a former Army general, also was accused, and later convicted, of providing protection to the head of the Juarez Cartel.
Over the course of the Calderón administration, more than 16,000 Mexican soldiers were convicted of desertion — a figure that does not include the tens of thousands of additional soldiers who deserted, and were not caught, but by the mere act of deserting are now branded criminals. How do you think those individuals are now making a living?
And then we have the Zetas, a fierce organized crime group operating in Mexico that is highly skilled in paramilitary tactics — such as intelligence gathering, surveillance and marksmanship. The Zetas were started by former Mexican special-ops soldiers who were assisted by members of a Guatemalan special-forces unit, the Kaibiles, according to a DEA Powerpoint presentation obtained by Narco News previously.
The Guatemala Human Rights Commission has this to say about the Kaibiles:
While former members of Guatemala's Elite Special Forces Unit (Kaibiles) are finally being sentenced for human rights atrocities committed during the 36-year internal armed conflict, Guatemala continues to train Kaibiles and their role is expanding to include combating organized crime.
Despite a congressional ban restricting direct funding to the Guatemalan army due to its involvement in brutal violence, the United States continues to support, train, and coordinate with the Kaibiles.
So it seems the path between US military training of Mexican security forces and their exploitation by organized crime in Mexico may not always be direct, but it certainly can't be declared nonexistent either.

2009 Awards Entries for Culture Heritage Conservation
Ali Gohar House, Ganish, Hunza
The Ali Gohar House is located in Ganish, Hunza, next to one of the iconic shikaris (watchtowers) of the town. It is said to be the oldest house in the village, and is typical of the residences of the Hunza nobility, with a winter house comprising storage spaces and a living space on the ground floor and a summer house with veranda above. The carved wooden detailing of the columns, capitals, and doorframes is outstanding. With the densely packed fabric of the town, destabilization of the mud and stone structure had begun to threaten neighboring dwellings. The house has been restored by the Aga Khan Cultural Service Pakistan and is now used for meetings of the Ganish Society and for exhibitions.
