Issue 8 - 1988
This is a classic issue! As you might be able to tell by the front cover!
Feature story 1: "The Planet of Plants"
Reprinted from issue #9 of the regular magazine- because the main story in this issue is a sequel to this classic story!
Power Pin-Up
A pin-up of Roboto, the same as the one in issue #27 of the regular magazine.
Feature story 2: "The Fall of Eternos City"
Skeletor, King Hiss and Hordak all join together to begin the ultimate attack on Eternos City. But first they have to get He-Man out of the city! The next day, at the palace, Man-At-Arms receives a call from Planet Teekay, the planet of plants. Matmos Mount has blown up once again, and they need He-Man's help! Together with Sy-Klone, He-Man and Man-At-Arms go to Teekay... but instantly they find they have been tricked- their teleportation machine explodes, and the planet is totally peaceful! Back on Eternia, now that He-Man has left the city, Skeletor, King Hiss, and the whole of their armies launch their attack on Eternos. The people of the city are evacuated through underground escape tunnels, as the heroic warriors attempt in vain to defend the city. Meanwhile, on Teekay, the plants have recognised He-Man from the last time he was on the planet, and so He-Man asks for their help in building a new machine to teleport them home. But the plants say that the last machines on Teekay were destroyed thousands of years ago in a war with the humans. So the plants transfer their thoughts to one another, and conduct a planet-wide search for any trace of machinery. Eventually, they find a fallout shelter- an old building that was once used by the humans who blew themselves up! The plants form a living passageway to lead the heroes to the fallout shelter- but as He-Man, Sy-Klone, and Man-At-Arms travel there, they fall into a trap- and find themselves prisoners of underground creatures, human-like but different in appearance! The leader of these people tells them that they will be executed if they have been working with the plants, whom they believe to be evil. But He-Man explains to them the true story, and how the plants believe the humans are evil- and the leader is astounded that maybe things aren't as bad as they have seemed for the past centuries! He-Man suggests to the people that he could move them to a new home on Eternia if they help them rebuild the teleporter. Together they reconstruct the machine, and teleport back to Eternia. But they get the shock of their lives when they see tht Eternos city has been destroyed! They find Hordak, Skeletor, and King Hiss, now totally confident that they will conquer Eternia! They escape, leaving the heroes convinced that their planet is doomed. But then, the heroic warriors appear through their underground hideout, and Fisto suggests they rebuild the city so Skeletor's victory will have been in vain. The people from Teekay suggest that they could help them rebuild the city so it looks even better, as they are skilled builders. So they help the heroic warriors build a brand new Eternos City, more futuristic and brighter in appearance. The people from Teekay are thanked by King Randor, and agree to stay on Eternia to help they heroic warriors in the fight against evil. Then He-Man decides to move the heroic warriors to a new base in Viper Tower, so the city will not be so much at risk from evil warriors.

This poster features the Evil Horde.
(This is a classic issue- it makes for great continuity with the events on Planet Teekay, and the fall of Eternos is one of the most important turning points in the comic's entire canon. We see some very strangely colored evil warriors here- Tri-Klops dressed in gray, a blue Clawful, a brown Rattlor and a blue Beast Man!)

To some, it always will be the Factory of Sadness. To the rest of the world, it no longer will be Cleveland Browns Stadium.
According to FOX 8 in Cleveland, the signs at the stadium where the Browns play are being removed, to be replaced with the new, corporate-purchased title: FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Browns have had the ability to sell the naming rights to the venue since it opened in 1999. Under owner Al Lerner and then his son, Randy, the Browns had not done so.
Earlier this year, new owner Jimmy Haslam sold the naming rights to FirstEnergy.
Hopefully no discounts or rebates were involved in the transaction.

Welcome to day 1 of Christmas Card-a-Day! Please read here for submission details on how to get your card ideas shown on ScrapScene.
Today's card comes to us from Paula Jennings. Paula made three very similar cards using the same design. Here are some details about how her cards was made:
"I made these Christmas cards yesterday to get started for the season and to get ready for a show I am doing in October. I used a sketch and modified it a bit for each one. They were done with SEI paper, red polka dot ribbon, 2 Christmas stamps and 2 wooden embellishments that I've had for years. They were fun and easy and I like the way they came out. They were all done with one sheet of double sided paper."
Thanks, Paula for sharing your cards with us! Please visit Paula at her blog here.

Rickie Lambert's hat-trick earned Southampton a club record 12th successive home league win to end their Nottingham Forest hoodoo with a 3-2 success.
Lambert quickly cancelled out the seventh-minute lead given to Forest by Matt Derbyshire before putting Nigel Adkins' side ahead and completing his treble by scoring a late winner after Radoslaw Majewski had equalised for the visitors three minutes before the break.
Saints had beaten the East Midlands side just once in the last 19 years, losing eight of the previous 12 meetings between the two clubs.
That solitary victory came in the Premier League in April 1997 when two late goals from Micky Evans saw Southampton triumph 3-1 at the City Ground.
This afternoon Dutch defender Jos Hooiveld made his Southampton debut after completing his loan switch from Celtic.
French midfielder Guy Moussi went straight into the Forest team to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from a calf injury.
Derbyshire linked up well with Ishmael Miller to open the scoring, converting his strike partner's low cross from close range.
However, the lead was shortlived as Lambert beat Lee Camp from 10 yards out to bring Saints level within 60 seconds.
Lambert fired a free-kick just over the bar after David Connolly was fouled by Wes Morgan.
Lambert continued to look dangerous and put the hosts ahead after 24 minutes when he nodded home Connolly's cross from the right.
Forest had a penalty appeal ignored by referee Iain Williamson when Miller went down under a challenge from Danny Fox before Derbyshire might have done better than head wide from Chris Gunter's cross.
Steve McClaren's men were rewarded for their endeavour in the 42nd minute when Miller and Derbyshire combined again, with the latter pulling the ball back for Majewski to beat Kelvin Davis with a low shot.
Only a superb save from Camp prevented Southampton from regaining the lead at the start of the second half. The Northern Ireland international tipped a well-struck shot from Adam Lallana round the post.
Lallana had another goalbound effort blocked by Morgan on the hour before Jose Fonte headed over the bar.
Camp produced another fine fingertip save to keep out a driven shot from Morgan Schneiderlin from the edge of the area after 67 minutes.
But Saints' pressure paid off eight minutes from time when Lambert headed home Fox's free-kick at the far post. Camp got a hand to the ball but could only push it into the roof of the net and Lambert wheeled off in celebration of his seventh goal of the season.

To those of us who follow the news closely, four years seems like forever. But for most Americans, it seems that four years isn't enough for a political party to wear out its welcome.
In a post yesterday, Paul noted that defeating an incumbent president isn't easy: from 1896 to the present, only five incumbents who sought re-election have been rejected by the voters. A reader refines that number further and, I think, persuasively:
I noted with interest Paul's post on defeated Presidents. Another way to slice the data is to note that with the exception of Carter, no incumbent president serving the first term for his party has lost a reelection effort since before 1900. Put another way, the party of the defeated incumbent had held the White House for more than one term when the incumbent got beat.
A very interesting point. Unlike, say, George H.W. Bush in 1992, Barack Obama had, in addition to the advantage of incumbency, the fact that his first term followed a Republican administration rather than a Democratic one. I think our reader is on to something here. Voters are inclined to give a political party more than a single term to see what they can do after taking over from the opposition. In 2012, exit polls suggested that many voters still blame the country's problems on President Bush. From one perspective this is ludicrous, but from the historical point of view noted by our reader, it makes a certain kind of sense. Many voters feel that it takes more than four years to judge the course on which a party has set America.
This idea may or may not be correct, but in any case, I suspect that in another four years, a majority of voters will be more than ready to pass a harsh judgment on the Democrats' stewardship.

Just got word from the folks at Eaton Corp. about the newest technology they will be unveiling at IFPE next week — LifeSense hose, "the hose that knows."
The technology enables reporting of imminent hose assembly failure by means of real-time monitoring of high pressure hose assemblies used in hydraulic systems.
A release from Eaton says that LifeSense hose was developed in conjunction with Purdue University and the Purdue Research Foundation's Office of Technology Commercialization to continuously monitor the health of hydraulic hose assemblies and alert users when an assembly approaches the end of its useful life. It can monitor and track the health of each hose assembly in a hydraulic system. This system does not estimate or predict through arithmetic calculations when a hose is going to fail, like some products on the market today. It actually detects when a hose is nearing the end of its useful life. Then an alert is sent to the user so that the assembly can be replaced to prevent downtime. A single monitoring unit can handle input from multiple hose assemblies.
"Most hydraulic maintenance programs are designed to avoid hose failures by replacing assemblies at regular intervals, using a schedule based on usage data or past experience," said Doug Jahnke, Eaton product marketing manager. "As a result, a large number of perfectly good hydraulic hose assemblies are discarded long before the end of their useful life out of fear that they might fail. The LifeSense hose allows the user to utilize virtually all of the useful life of a hydraulic hose assembly, more than 50 percent longer life in a typical lab test, thus saving on replacement costs and associated downtime while providing peace-of-mind that productivity will not be impeded and safety not compromised by unpredicted hose failure.
"Additionally, hydraulic hose failure is one of the largest causes of unplanned maintenance events," Jahnke said. "Hose failures in the field present serious safety issues, environmental concerns and result in unscheduled system downtime, all of which have serious economic impacts."
The initial LifeSense hose offering will include -8, -12 and -16 two-wire hose assemblies. It offers performance equal to industry standard 2SN pressure-rated hose and is certified to the same industry specifications as conventional hydraulic hose products. The technology is currently available for trial with factory-made assemblies including straight JIC swivel fittings.
Visit www.eaton.com/hydraulics for more information. We'll be reporting more on the new technology from and after IFPE!

Motor Vehicle Traffic Crash Fatalities
Safety & Health Assessment & Research for Prevention (SHARP) Research for Safe Work
Subscribe to SHARP's RSS feed for FACE.
View the full report from which these results were taken:
- Fatal Work-Related Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes in Washington State, 1998 to 2007 (853 KB PDF / 2 min); FACE Fatal Facts.
SHARP Focus on work-related motor vehicle traffic crash fatalities
Motor vehicles are a key part of nearly every industry. Whether driving a semi-trailer truck to deliver freight or a passenger vehicle to a meeting, Washington workers operate motor vehicles for many work purposes. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), work-related roadway crashes are the leading cause of death from traumatic injuries in the U.S. workplace. Despite major advances in motor vehicle safety systems and safe driving techniques, motor vehicle crashes continue to be the most frequent type of work-related fatality in Washington State and across the nation.
On average, 19 workers died each year in Washington State in work-related motor vehicle traffic crashes during the years 1998 through 2007. Motor vehicles and the roadways they travel upon present unique challenges to ensuring the safety of vehicle operators and occupants. In order to focus prevention efforts, researchers at SHARP continue to identify the circumstances and characteristics associated with fatal work-related incidents.
In this issue of SHARP focus, we provide the results of 10 years of data on work-related motor vehicle traffic crash fatalities. The data was collected through the surveillance efforts of the Washington State Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program. The intent of the report is to characterize fatalities by sectors of industry, specific incident types, and demographic factors. The report also offers insight into common causes of motor vehicle crashes and practical prevention strategies that can be adopted by employers and employees.
High-risk industries
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), a program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), indicates that 11,952 work-related highway fatalities of civilian workers occurred during 1992 to 2000. These fatalities increased in number by 18.7% from 1992 to 2000 and were the leading cause of occupational fatalities throughout the period. The CFOI reported that those employed in transportation and material moving occupations (truck drivers in particular) had far higher fatality rates than workers in any other occupation group. The same was true for the number of fatalities among transportation and warehousing industry workers in Washington State. According to Washington FACE program data, the transportation and warehousing industry had 52 (27%) fatalities and drivers of various truck types made up 113 (60%) of the total work-related motor vehicle fatalities from 1998 to 2007.
In Washington State, workers from a wide distribution of industries were involved in fatal motor vehicle crashes in from 1998 to 2007. The industries with the most fatal motor vehicle crash incidents during this period were:
- Transportation and Warehousing.
- Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting.
- Construction.
These were the top 3 industries and together comprised 56% of motor vehicle crash fatalities. According to the CFOI, transportation-related fatalities were highest and construction-related were third highest nationwide. The agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry ranked seventh on the national level.
The remainder of the motor vehicle crash fatalities in Washington were from industries like public administration, retail trade, and information support services that are typically less associated with motor vehicle crash fatalities. These industry sectors are also less regulated in terms of motor vehicles and therefore present challenges and opportunities for innovation in implementing prevention efforts.
High risk age groups
Nationwide, the 35 to 44 year old age group suffered the highest number of work-related motor vehicle crash fatalities. In Washington State, the 35 to 44 year old age group also had the highest number of work-related motor vehicle crash fatalities with 50 (26%).
Among 35 to 44 year olds in Washington State, most work-related motor vehicle crash fatalities were in the transportation and warehousing industry (24%), followed by the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry (20%), and the construction industry (10%). The 25 to 34 and 45 to 54 age groups both had 39 (21%) total work-related motor vehicle crash fatalities. FACE data indicate that young workers were killed more frequently in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry whereas older workers were killed more frequently in the transportation and warehousing industry.
Young workers
Younger workers are particularly vulnerable to motor vehicle crashes as they have less experience behind the wheel, often work in industries with little to no motor vehicle specific regulation, and often drive employer owned vehicles with which they are unfamiliar.
For the youngest age group, 16 to 19 years old, 33% of this group died in work-related motor vehicle crashes in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry. This was followed by 17% of victims in each of the construction and transportation and warehousing industries.
Workers in the 20 to 24 year old age group had about the same percentage of fatalities as the younger age group in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry. The 20 to 24 year old age group, however, had a higher percentage (35%) of fatalities in the construction industry.
Older workers
The incident characteristics for older workers who die in work-related motor vehicle crashes differ from those for workers of other ages. According to the CFOI, the highest percentage (22.7%) of older worker motor vehicle crash fatalities in the nation occurred in the transportation industry. In Washington State, those aged 54 to 65 years old, were also much more likely to die in the transportation and warehousing industry, which accounted for 39% of fatalities in this age group. For Washington workers over 65 years old, 36% of fatalities were in the transportation and warehousing industry and 18% were in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry.

Kind of an old-school throwback type install. No fiberglass, no motorization just a good, rugged sound system designed to get loud and sound great!
Since the car was equipped with a factory navigation system and the customer liked the way it worked we kept the head unit in place.... the OEM sound system was a 2nd level Boston Acoustics factory upgrade. When you see the pics you'll wonder how bad the base system must have been to call this an upgrade.... there was ZERO bass and mediocre sound at best.
From there we used a Zapco DSP-Z8 (not pictured as it is a hidden item and is very set and forget) digital signal processor to clean up the signal and provide equalization and crossover control to the rest of the system.
Power was provided by a pair of Massive Audio D-series amplifiers. A D800.4 (100x4) powers the mids and highs and a D3600.1 powers the subwoofers (1800x1).
Speakers consist of Massive Audio CK 69X components mounted in the front door (in a coaxial configuration) and JBL GTO628 Coaxials were utilized in the rear shelf.
Bass duty was provided by using a pair of Massive Audio Hippo 84 8" subs in a 1.5 cubic foot vented enclosure tuned to 38.5 Hz.
Power wire was 1/0 Gauge from DB Link. RCA Cables were also courtesy of DB Link as were speaker wires.
Battery & Battery Box are from XS Power D1200 Series
Sound deadening was from Hushmat.
Now on to the pics:
The products in their boxes
Box Design
Driver door with the panel off. You can't see it in the pic, but there was a ton of sound deadening material installed behind that vapor barrier
Gotta give a shout out to Weshole here, he convinced me to carve up the foam piece to integrate the crossover securely into the door. It worked AWESOME!
1/0 power and ground upgrade up front at the alternator. Another shout out to weshole as he was an alternator ninja for me and managed (somehow) to get his hands in there enough to get those wires on.
Guess which one was the stock speaker.... Oh... and those 6x9's are considered "subwoofers" according to Dodge/Boston Acoustics
Early stages of the subwoofer enclosure going together
Door speakers going in
Test fitting the box
Fitting the amp rack (notice we carpeted the spare tire well to make it all blend nicely

Amp rack all powered up and ready to go!
Box is in place

The rtl8139C chip supports Flash boot ROM, but an on-motherboard implementation is unlikely to have a Flash socket. Any network boot code is likely to be in the BIOS ROM.

Lightner and representatives from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Coastal Commission, city park and recreation and stormwater departments held a meeting on Oct. 7 to discuss options for addressing the issue.
Any option to tackle the issue would require permits and review by the Coastal Commission and Regional Water Quality Control Board, said Jennifer Davies, spokeswoman for Lightner's office.
"All agencies made clear that there are no overnight solutions," she said. "In particular, there is no legal means to get a permit to power wash the cliffs, as has been suggested by many citizens. This would damage the cliffs and would violate the ban on discharging any substance into the ocean beneath these cliffs, which is a protected area of special biological significance."
Because no products currently on the market have been used to eradicate odors on a similar coastal bluff setting on the West Coast, seeking permits to use such a product requires a number of tests to determine potential detriment of the runoff into the ocean or other harmful environmental consequences.
"We have reached out to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to see if they have any scientists who would be willing to perform an independent test of the available products," Davies said. "Once a successful test has been completed, we can move forward with seeking permits to use the product at the Cove."
Lightner's office is also seeking out an agency or private company that can test the Cove's air quality to determine whether the bird waste is causing any harmful affects in the area.
Meanwhile, the LJVMA is asking La Jollans to consider signing an electronic petition urging the councilwoman's help in cleaning up the bird excrement at the Cove. The association has also sent letters to mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner requesting support.

Author Notes: My husband, Harry, doesn't cook. When I met him, he was subsisting on frozen stir-fry dinners. The occasional egg. Jarred spaghetti sauce. Canned soup and vegetables. (His Food52 handle is eateronly. Seriously.) When we married and hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner, he insisted on being in charge of the turkey. I was skeptical. But ours is a second marriage, and the currency of second marriages is generosity and acceptance. What the hell. Make the turkey.
Imagine my surprise when that turkey was delicious. Moist and flavorful. With one of the best gravies I had ever had. Over the years (14 now), we've tinkered a little. I bought good paprika. Added the sherry to the gravy. But really, this is his technique, and his recipe.
In this recipe, the turkey is as much a part of the gravy as the rest of the components so I've included his technique for seasoning the turkey. He prefers a stuffed turkey—makes a bread stuffing, but you can use whatever stuffing you prefer—and uses oil instead of butter because his family kept kosher, and therefore did not mix dairy and meat. The Yiddish word for the little brown bits that stick to the bottom of the pan is gribenes, and he calls a roux an einbrun. All measurements are approximate and really depend on the size of the turkey.
Last year did not use a kosher turkey so I dry brined it a la the judy bird http://food52.com/recipes..., and it was fabulous.
Food52 Review: The method of pan-roasting this hearty onion gravy is what makes it a stunner. As the turkey rests, drbabs brilliantly instructs us to deepen the flavors of the gravy in the roasting pan, along with a welcome dose of sherry. It's the kind of technique we wish we thought of long ago! Feel free to strain the onions out, but we like it served "chunky", the onions adding satisfying texture to the Thanksgiving plate. - Maddy —The Editors
Makes: enough for thanksgiving turkey and stuffing
1 kosher turkey, rinsed well and dried (don't brine kosher turkeys)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
teaspoons onion powder
teaspoons garlic powder
teaspoons sweet paprika
teaspoons kosher salt
teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
cups chopped onions
water (or chicken broth--my choice)
For the gravy
tablespoons vegetable oil
tablespoons all purpose flour
cup dry sherry
- Preheat oven to 350. Make a paste of oil and seasonings and rub the outside and cavity of the turkey with the paste. Stuff the turkey with your favorite stuffing. Place the chopped onions in the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the turkey, breast side up, on top of the onions. Roast the turkey uncovered for 15-20 minutes. When the onions have started to brown, add just enough water (chicken broth) to cover the onions in the roasting pan. Roast the turkey, covered loosely with foil, basting periodically.
For the gravy
- About ½ hour before turkey is finished roasting, make the einbrun. Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture clumps together and turns golden. It will smell nutty. Continue cooking until the mixture has a dark golden color, being careful to stir constantly so that it doesn't burn. Set aside.
- Add einbrun to the onions in the bottom of the roasting pan. Continue roasting the turkey, uncovered, until it is finished roasting (165 degrees in thigh). Remove turkey from roasting pan.
- Pour sherry into pan drippings, and stir, scraping up any brown bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Return roasting pan to oven and continue to roast gravy for about 15-20 minutes, until it is reduced and somewhat thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning. You can pour it into a sauce pan and let it reduce on top of the stove while the turkey rests if you prefer. Pour gravy into a pitcher and serve hot.

text: Crop Health Toolkit: NDVI, Thermal Imaging September 2, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Using tools such as NDVI collected from an airplane, satellite or toolbar can give farmers clues about corn problems earlier in the growing season, Farm Journal field agronomist Ken Ferrie says in Episode 11 of Corn College TV Season 3. "I can look at this same field (with) an NDVI shot and I can see the same problem areas, but now I see them clear back here in July, not in September," Ferrie says. "So I can make a visit to that field, and I can try to figure that out." (Click here to order Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) Meanwhile, thermal imaging takes a crop's temperature and can be useful for locating insect infestations, early disease pressure and under-irrigated field sections. "This is telling you the crop is starting to get sick," Ferrie says of maps depicting yellow and red spots where the corn's temperature is raised.

Ok i know everyone is sick of hearing about the antipoint deal, and ive mentioned this suggestion a few times before but never really got feedback, now its time to make it its own thread.
Recently a few members have been banned for AP Abuse, now i know JP is a very busy man and cant monitor APs all day long, so i suggest that he put together a team of moderators that will take care of antipoint abuse, members that think that they are being abused will have a little button that sais "Report AP Abuse" and it will then send some sort of message to the moderators that will help them choose if this is abuse and how sevire it is... if it is just minor abuse the abusing member will get neggs added to his accound and the harmless member will regain his lost APs... while if this is extreme abuse the abusing member will be banned... also members who tend to hit the abuse button too many times for no reason will also suffer negs.
The AP System is not perfect and it will never be, but as long as little things are put up it will improve greatly just as it has in the recent months.
Well give me some feedback on what you guys think.... JP make some nice comments on this as well please.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli officials were angered this week after the Obama Administration found the loophole it needed to justify support for the new Palestinian Authority unity government, despite the involvement of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week warned that a Palestinian government including Hamas would mean an end to the peace process, and Washington initially appeared to back up that assessment.
But then US Secretary of State John Kerry did an apparent about-face while in Lebanon this week, telling reporters that his government would work with the new Palestinian regime. Kerry argued that doing so would not provide any legitimacy to Hamas, as none of the ministers in the new Palestinian government are directly affiliated with the terror group.
"Based on what we know now about the composition of this technocratic government, which has no minister affiliated to Hamas and is committed to the principles that I describe, we will work with it as we need to, as appropriate," said Kerry.
Earlier, US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf insisted that in America's eyes, "it is not a government backed by Hamas" because "there are no members of Hamas in the government."
That position seemed to conveniently ignore that the Palestinian unity government was only made possible by the reconciliation agreement between Hamas and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction, meaning Hamas has substantial influence.
Nor did Kerry or Harf bother to acknowledge the fact that the Palestinian government announced this week is a transitional regime, and that when new elections are held later this year, Hamas may very well win a commanding presence at the ballot box, as it did in 2006.
Whatever Washington's motivation for joining the European Union and the UN in welcoming the new Palestinian government, Netanyahu was none too impressed.
"I'm deeply troubled by the announcement that the United States will work
with the Palestinian government backed by Hamas," the Israeli leader told The Associated Press. "All those who genuinely seek peace must reject President Abbas' embrace of Hamas, and most especially, I think the United States must make it absolutely clear to the Palestinian president that his pact with Hamas, a terrorist organization that seeks Israel's liquidation, is simply unacceptable."
Determined not to allow the international community to alter the status quo regarding Hamas, Israel began imposing threatened sanctions and punitive measures as a result of Abbas' unity government announcement.
Palestinian media reported that Israel had revoked the VIP cards held by high-ranking Palestinian Authority officials, was withholding tax revenues collected by Israel on behalf of the Palestinians, and had barred movement between Gaza and the "West Bank."
Israel also published tenders for 1,500 new apartments in Judea, Samaria and on the eastern side of Jerusalem, all areas claimed by the Palestinians. Housing Minister Uri Ariel confirmed that the housing units were a direct response to the Hamas-backed Palestinian unity government.
The new apartments are "an appropriate Zionist response to the Palestinian terror government," Ariel insisted in a statement released to the press.
The Obama Administration didn't see things that way. While it was willing to find an excuse to embrace the new Palestinian government, Washington flatly rejected and condemned Israel's renewed "settlement activity."
"We oppose settlement construction in the West Bank as well as announcements regarding such construction," American Ambassador Dan Shapiro told Army Radio. "We would do so with or without this disputed case of a new Palestinian transitional government."
The new Palestinian government responded by saying it hoped the Obama Administration would take its own punitive steps toward Israel.
"It is time for the American administration to take serious steps against what the government of Israel is doing," PA presidential advisor Nimr Hammad told the AFP. "We strongly condemn this decision [to build 1,500 new Jewish apartments] which affirms that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a liar and is not interested in the two-state solution."

Leanne Franson is the creator of the 'Liliane' mini-comics, which has been running since 1992. There are now two collections available, 'Assume Nothing' and 'Teaching Through Trauma'. Franson's comic is autobiographical, centering on Liliane, a Canadian "bi-dyke". She concentrates less on strips than on extended essays, on various themes: her problems trying to get pregnant, working for a sex hotline, butches, the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, relationship problems, etc.
Liliane, drawn as an oval with dots for eyes and no nose, has a day job as a children's book illustrator. Franson's general good humor account for the light feeling of the comic, despite the heavy themes that she sometimes takes on.

"If they ever cure lung cancer, I would go back to smoking"
This sentiment is often expressed to me by clinic participants when they are initially trying to quit. More surprisingly though, some ex-smokers off for substantially longer times maintain this feeling. Apparently, these people originally quit smoking out of fear of cancer. But once off smoking, so many other benefits are evident to most ex-smokers that fear of disease should not be the only motivation for not smoking.
Physical and psychological benefits from not smoking are both numerous and rewarding. Most ex-smokers breathe better, have more energy and greater endurance. Circulation improves and cardiovascular fitness is greatly increased. Because of the benefits to the respiratory and circulatory systems, ex-smokers can participate in activities which they had to avoid while smoking. Ex-smokers are more productive, both at home and work, leaving them more time to do enjoyable recreational activities. Food smells and tastes better, making the ex-smoker much more capable of enjoying finer culinary treats. They become calmer, better able to deal with life's demands and stresses. Aesthetic improvements are dramatic. They smell better, and even the skin appears healthier.
In many, not smoking will prevent premature wrinkling which would have occurred if they continued to indulge in cigarettes. They are more socially acceptable as ex-smokers. No longer do they have to worry about offending non-smokers around them. They can go anywhere, any time without worrying about whether they will be able to get their 20-minute fixes of nicotine. Improved self-esteem is a major benefit noted by the majority of ex-smokers. No longer are they spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year on cigarettes. No longer do they worry about burning holes in their furniture, clothes and cars. No longer do they worry about starting fires which could destroy everything they own and possibly themselves. Last, but in no way least, they are eliminating from their lifestyle the greatest preventable cause of premature death and disability in our country.
Why would anyone want to sacrifice such gains to go back to smoking? Even if they reduced the risk from one disease, all the other diseases still pose a great threat to smokers. But worse yet, returning to smoking means once again becoming an addict. All of the associated behaviors will once again become necessary to maintain a serum nicotine level high enough to avoid withdrawal.
They will have to smoke in places where smoking is unacceptable. When encountering stress, they will have to smoke continuously to feel better. "Better" means just as rotten as they would have felt originally if they were non-smokers encountering the same stress. No longer could they sit comfortably through a two-hour movie or meeting where smoking is prohibited. Once again they will be viewed by others as weak unfortunates unable to break free from such a dirty chemical dependency. Some view them with pity, others with scorn. No one views them with envy. They will smell bad, they will look bad, and they will be slowly crippling and killing themselves.
Life is simpler, healthier and more enjoyable as a non-smoker. Whenever considering going back to smoking, or just trying one cigarette, take a long careful inventory of the gains you have made by quitting. Think of the inconveniences and dangers you will face of once again having to smoke 20, 40, 60 or even more cigarettes a day. Consider both of these sides and, if you choose to remain an ex-smoker, simply – NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!

Kareem read-the-pages-title-for-my-full-name was best known for being a tall-ass-mother-fucker who was the captain of the Los Angeles Rapers cheer squad. Kareem may not have been the tallest cheerleader the NBA has ever had, but the other guys who where taller could not hold a candle to how well Kareem could shake his pom-poms up and down the court. Kareem stood at seven feet four inches, and that was on a cold day! The man was a giant, and will always be remembered as that tall skinny-ass-mother-fucker that scored more successful rim shots then Kobe Bryant's mother at his senior prom.
The Smaller DaysEdit
Kareem was born on Earth. There was nothing unusual about his birth, his parents fucked, and out he came 9 months later. Sorry, but there is no unusual story about how he was born with a giant penis and didn't grow into it until he was 19, nope see photos of Tom Cruise's head for that sort of story. Kareem grew up in the heart of Manhatten, NY which is a shame, because if he had of grown up, not too far away, in Harlem in the 1950's, he could have learned the skills so many negro basketball players master... learning to shoot, steal and run. but some things just where not meant to be.
By the time Kareem was 16 years old, he was already towering at a mere 6'9, and found himself playing point guard for the university of Some Tall Ass Mother Fuckers Of Racial Discrimination also known as Stamford University. He played their for 1 season before he grew an extra foot and was able to dunk a basketball with his testicles without even having to jump. Kareem quickly established himself as a really shitty ball-player. He had no skills, he couldn't dribble, he couldn't nail a 3 pointer if his life depended on it, and he was a complete ball hog. So it was only natural that due to the fact he had no skills but possessed a 7'4 physique, he would be drafted by UCLA to be with the other side show freaks.
College FootballEdit
UCLA managed to teach Kareen something very few professional negro basketball players have ever been able to accomplish. They taught him how to pass the ball! Kareem's assist skills began to rise and the team managed to improve their stats by actually being able to get the ball to their end of the court. At the same time this miracle was occurring, Kareem was also becoming a huge hit with the defense portion of the game. Even tho Kareem had no physical talent what-so-ever when it came to defense, he did posses a natural talent by using his height advantage over smaller guys. All he had to do was be standing in-front of the offensive player, causing them to not be able to see anything above or past Kareeem. If they tried to shoot the ball it would just ricochet off his head.
Kareem was praised for using his head when it came to defensive measures, even tho whenever someone would praise his efforts he was just standing their swaying around counting the birdies circling his head. It wasn't long before the coach decided to try and use Kareem's height advantage to score, and no we don't mean score as in score, we mean score like score, okay? The coach decided that Kareem couldn't dribble for shit, so once he'd made a blocked shot with his cranium, he was encouraged to run up the court and stand under the shiny metal thing, and put his hand up in the air. A pass would be made to his hand and when Kareem caught it, he was told to stuff it in the hole faster then Kobe Bryant's dick to a un-consenting white girls ass.
Kareem's reach was out of jumping distance to most average sized players, so Kareem went on that season to score more points then any tall-ass-mother-fucker on the planet.
Big Time Mother Fucka' In The Big Time Pro'sEdit
After Kareem scored a bajillion points in college, where scoring means dick, he was drafted by the "Milwaukee Talkie Fucks". He managed to repeat what he was doing in college, by stopping shots with his head, and scoring under the rim. However he got a little too excited one day and jumped while he was dunking and smashed his face into the backboard causing the glass to shatter and get stuck in his eye. After that exact same thing had happened a dozen or more times, someone came up with the idea that he should wear protective goggles so he isn't rushed to the men's room to wash his bleeding eyes out whenever he gets excited and jumps like a retard who starts humping a dogs leg when he hears the sound of an ice cream van coming down the street.
After playing 6 years with the Milwaukee Fucks, they had to trade him for expenses due to Kareem always knocking his head on the backboard and breaking them. So he was traded off to a team that could afford to let him smash his face into glass backboards, the Los Angeles Rapers. There, Kareem managed to continue to use his head to block shots and smash boards with his retarded happy dance.
Surprisingly Kareem managed to score a total of just under 40,000 points over his regular season career from 1876 to The year of the aids take-over which isn't too bad at all! He also holds the record for most on court time with just under 60,000 minutes... not including jury duty. He also holds the record for being the best of the tallest mother fuckers to play the game. Sure a couple of guys and an Asian woman named Mao where taller then Kareem, but Kareem scored more pussy then they did, so he's considered the best of the tallest players that women have admitted to sleeping with (the Myths of Wilt Chamberlain are still unconfirmed as only Betty White has admitted she let that tall-ass-mother-fucker de-cheese her flower)
Kareem retired from basketball in 1989 after they found his smaller but better replacement Magic Johnson. Kareem now works for NASA trying to identify the stars he see's orbiting the bruises on his head.
We think we may have mixed this entire article up with someone else. When you mention tall black guys who are drafted to the NBA on the ability of no skills, but a height advantage to dominate offensively and defensively, not to mention, a complete retard, we may have not meant to call him Kareem, but instead, Shaquille O'Neal.

2014 Audi SQ5
This is the first Audi sport utility vehicle to get the S treatment in the United States.
It packs a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 pumping out 354 hp and 347 lb-ft. That prodigious output enables a sprint to 62 mph in 5.3 seconds en route to a top speed of 155 mph. The chassis is lowered 1.18 inches. The SQ5 rides on 20-inch wheels, with 21s available as an option. It arrives this summer in U.S. dealerships.

When the Fall colors found me...
Or was it that I found them...
I know I've been missing in action. As I said before there's a lot going on, but see, I haven't forgotten you all. I just start drafts and then have to go do something else. Before you know it, I've got five drafts, none of them are even half done, and it's been ten days since the last time I posted.
I feel like the leaf in the last picture here; I've yellowed, fallen off the tree and am now slowly drying and waiting to become mulch.
My saving grace is the little one.
Today was my little girl's 8-month birthday. I love that she was born on the spring solstice 8 months ago (even if the solstice doesn't technically happen on the 21st every year, must one really be punctilious about such things?...) I love it partially because the spring solstice is also the Persian New Year, so my little half-Persian noodle was a brand new everything born on the New Year. Perfect.
Anyway, I'm thinking of that because since I found the fall colors, it really feels like fall now, but winter is already on its way since I found them very late this year, and these are some of the last leaves up on the trees right now. Soon it will be her 9-month birthday and we'll move technically from fall into winter, and then it will be the Persian New Year again and she'll be a year old. Time really does not just run but gallops away from you.
Hopefully there are a few sunset moments such as this one left before the winter gloom descends upon us. I will be back soon with more posts.

It's that joyous time of the year when we figure out our tax obligations. As you travel down the bumpy road of deductions, you may be able to write off a few car expenses, including some tied to insurance.
Continue Reading Below
Auto insurance premiums and business use of your car: Are you self-employed and use your vehicle on the job? Or are you employed but use the car for work-related reasons at least part of the time, without being reimbursed for expenses by your boss? If so, then you may be able to deduct some of your insurance premiums, says Leonard C. Wright, a San Diego-based financial planner and spokesperson for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
First, you have to determine how much your vehicle is used for work, says Wright. For example, if your car is used 75% of the time for business and the rest of the time for personal driving, then you can typically base your deductions on that split of percentages. In this case, you would deduct 75% of your auto expenses, including insurance premiums, gas, oil, repairs, registration fees, lease payments, depreciation, parking and toll fees.
You'd list the expenses as miscellaneous itemized deductions. But keep in mind that you can only qualify for these deductions if they total more than 2% of your adjusted gross income. In other words, if 2% of your gross income is, say, $1,000, your expenses would have to be above that to claim all the write-offs.
The alternative is taking the standard business mileage deduction. The Internal Revenue Service has set it at 55.5 cents a mile for 2012, with all expenses (including insurance premiums) figured in that rate. There are restrictions, however, and Wright advises studying the IRS guidelines or talking to a tax consultant before going this route.
"With every tax situation, I think people need to read up on tax issues before they even meet with a financial adviser or tax planner," says Wright. "When you're sitting there with your iPad, take the time to get information -- that will help you and the tax preparer come to the best way to handle your particular situation." (See: "IRS and insurance rules for charitable car donations.")
He adds that you need to keep all receipts and related documents, just in case the IRS asks for proof. "The IRS requires that you keep careful records of your business travel, including the dates you used your car, the number of miles driven and the reason for the travel on business-related tasks," according to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' website, 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy.
When your vehicle is damaged or stolen: Wright also says that you may be able to claim a theft or casualty loss deduction if your car is stolen, damaged or totaled in an accident or by an act of nature, like getting smashed by a falling tree. But you can qualify for this write-off only if your auto insurance doesn't reimburse you for the full loss. (See: "5 commonly misunderstood car insurance terms.")
Also, the casualty and theft deduction has two limitations. For one, taxpayers can claim an individual loss only if it's at least $100. Next, even if your casualty or theft loss exceeds $100, you can claim the deduction only if the total amount you lost in the year is higher than 10% of your gross income. (See: "Something to hold on to: comprehensive and collision insurance.")
In calculating the loss that you want to claim, you'll have to subtract whatever reimbursement you received from an insurance company. Again, you'll need to retain all your documents, including police reports, if you plan to deduct theft losses.
Deducting car insurance deductibles: You may be able to write off your insurance deductible as part of a theft or casualty loss. But, once again, the amount would have to be at least $100 to claim it as a portion of your losses, with the total losses for the year adding up to more than 10% of your gross income.

A story for any man who's ever longed to marry the girl of his dreams, any woman who's wondered when he's going to pop the question, and any future father-in-law caught up in a crime ring of senior citizens.
For Andy Altman it was love at first sight. Halloween, 1983: She was Princess Leia; he was Chewbacca. Determined to be more than star-crossed lovers, Andy vowed to do whatever it took to make Paige Day his bride, even if that meant dragging himself back to the small town of Crockett, California, and working for her father, Gregory, the local pharmacist and most demanding boss east of San Francisco.
Day's Pharmacy is tight quarters, and for Andy and Gregory, the mixture is explosive. Unable to win Gregory over, Andy devises a surefire scheme to secure his blessing to marry Paige. But what Andy doesn't realize is that the only way he'll make it to the altar is if he protects his future father-in-law's big secret. In so doing, he'll have to fend off financial ruin, Paige's aggressive ex-boyfriend, and an intimidating crime ring of geriatric gangsters.
For young Andy, charting the path to true love will take sheer ingenuity.
Lovesick reminds us that sometimes love cures all. And sometimes, it just makes you sick. Full of outrageous and unpredictable solutions, Alex Wellen's riotously funny debut novel is bubbling with heartwarming characters you won't forget.

About House of Troy
House of Troy, a member of the Framburg family, has been offering lighting known for its craftsmanship and quality for nearly 60 years. From Library and LED Picture Lights to Shelburn Desk Lamps and Grand Piano Lamps, House of Troy designs and hand-crafts all its products to assure lasting performance. House of Troy also offers cabinet lighting, floor lamps, spot lights, swing-arm wall sconces, and specialty lighting.
Tucked into the northern Vermont hills, just down the road from the picturesque ski village of Stowe, House of Troy has been producing classic lighting since the mid 1940s. Though off the beaten path and far from the spotlights of the big cities, the House of Troy reputation burns brightly. For nearly sixty years, the company has been offering lighting known for its craftsmanship and quality.
The company was founded across the Vermont border in Montreal in 1947 by Everett Bailey. In its first years, the company was a small custom lamp shop selling to gift and department stores in and around the Canadian city. The founder's son, Norm Bailey, took over the business in 1960, moved the business to North Troy, Vermont and renamed the company ""House of Troy."" It was the younger Bailey who designed the tooling to make the ""best picture lights available"" and introduced them to stores throughout the Northeast.
House of Troy began expanding its increasingly popular picture lighting when Kent and Natalie Mitchell purchased the business in 1982. The Mitchells added to the small staff of six, introduced a line of quality piano lamps, and took the House of Troy line to the International Lighting Show in Dallas. As the company expanded, it outgrew the North Troy location. A former ""cow barn turned dance hall and roller-skating rink"" in nearby Hyde Park, Vermont became the new location for a portion of the manufacturing operations. Eventually, all operations were moved from North Troy to Hyde Park; the name - known by this time throughout North America - remained the same.
House of Troy designs and crafts all of its products to assure lasting performance. Although many of its products continue to be designed and manufactured in Hyde Park, Vermont, the company also sources parts and products worldwide in order to provide the best possible value to its customers.
Today, House of Troy is a part of the Framburg family of fine lighting owned by Malcolm Tripp.
All House of Troy products (including Freight) ship for FREE within the contiguous United States on orders over $50.
All House of Troy products that ship via UPS or FedEx Ground within the contiguous United States are FREE to return.
We do not charge a restocking fee for any returnable House of Troy products.
If you find a House of Troy product on another site for less than us, we will match it PLUS 10% of the difference. Learn more
