Snow Falling on Cedars ~ it is perfect. I love it already. Thank you for all your kind words and references to my blog. I cannot wait to get my hands on this block and hang it on my design wall. Hopefully it will transport me to Seattle for more inspiration for completing your block as a our family tree.ReplyDelete
I am really loving the blocks:) Trees are one of my favorite things to look at and these are exceptional!!! Loving, too, your quilt that your friend sent to you- it looks great on the wall in your entryway:)ReplyDelete

Sujata, I have a tear in my eye as I read your post and see the quilt in your home. It is so inspiring to me to know that it was created in my home and now is in yours like a connecting thread that binds us and is to remind you, "You are loved! and may peace be in your heart and all who enter your home."

What a great post...so much inspiration here! That's a beautiful little quilt from Em; looks perfect in your hall.(Incidentally, I haven't been able to access Em's blog lately, is it my computer?) Your cedar and Mary's trees are just beautiful; trees are really difficult to make other than cartoonlike , but yours are both perfect! Incidentally, I'd be so pleased if you would like to cut the turquise patch out of the block I sent you for the 15min quilt...the one with the really obvius black stripe across it..it just jumps out at me now!ReplyDelete

I've just found your blog (via Judy Martin) and loved your Snow Falling on Cedars block for your friend Mary...the colours, the design, the story behind it are all beautiful. I am off to visit Mary's blog and read all about her block now!ReplyDelete

Hehe or his Ip address =)
I don't know if reporting these guys (even using the in-game reporting system) will do much good. I was killed by a one of these invisible hackers the other day (he went 45-0) and reported him, but when I went onto Elite to look him up it just came up with a "not available" screen.
Same thing happened with a hacked domination lobby when I tried to check on the obvious hacker (bright flashing colored name). Not available. They seem to be able to cover their tracks.
Hacked lobby is a different issue. The invisible is a glitch. Everyone can do it as long as you know the tricks. It's not a hack. So, It could and it should be fixed.
A hack may not be the same thing as a glitch, but that still doesn't explain why the "invisibility glitcher" that I ran into didn't seem to have an account when I looked him up the next day.
I can go into Elite and click on any name from my recent games and see their recent games and stats. The only ones that failed to come up were the lobby hacker and the invisibility glitcher. So unless the glitcher got banned overnight, he had to be using a hacked account.
...And of course, I agree it should be fixed. It made me give my head a shake; how did this guy run 30 yards and knife me from the front without me seeing him? I knew it wasn't legit, but just hadn't seen it before.
We posted about this issue on the facebook of activision.
I report all invisible glitchers with the online report as: (exploit).
also i update my own lists of glitchers met in this post above.
Actually they dont cover their tracks... You wont see them on elite coz they put the glitch on their custom class!!!!!! You will easily know if someone used the invisible glitch, when they joined the game and use their class w/ a glitch it will lag or freeze the game for 3 secs... they will only be invisible once they use the custom class w/ a glitch
I've been reporting them in game, via twitter to Activision and IWEnforcers as well as online websites with Sony and Activision. If this isn't patched before Ghosts comes out I'm switching to battlefield and CoD will have lost me as a customer.
I hope so. mwf3 version is still 1.8.515.1
Recently, i've seen less glitchers, but maybe 2-3 days ago i saw alihaiy still doing the glitch even if i reported him/her a couples of times. I don't know. If the game isn't fixed, and more glitchers appear i'll probably switch back to black ops 1. (if possible)
dude, black ops 1 has invisible and god mode hackers and glitchers too. they do it because they know the makers won't do a damn thing about it. CoD multiplayer is a joke now, because its all about hacking and glitching and has lost the element of "skill" completely. I don't mind if someone is actually better than me, but look how many hackers and glitchers there is now. It's unplayable nowadays and is a joke, sadly.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO Allies are discussing keeping a training force of between 8,000 and 12,000 troops in Afghanistan after most foreign soldiers leave in 2014, the United States said on Friday.
NATO-led forces are gradually handing over responsibility for security to their Afghan counterparts as the bulk of foreign combat forces prepare to withdraw by the end of next year.
"A range of 8-12,000 troops was discussed as the possible size of the overall NATO mission," Pentagon spokesman George Little said after a NATO defence ministers' meeting in Brussels.
U.S. President Barack Obama has not decided how many American troops would remain in Afghanistan after 2014, he said, adding: "The president is still reviewing options."
German Defence Minister Thomas de Maiziere said earlier that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had told allies in Brussels that the United States alone could keep 8,000 to 12,000 troops.
After Panetta denied this, de Maiziere issued a statement correcting himself and saying the number referred to the possible overall size of the post-2014 NATO mission, also expected to include European allies and some non-NATO nations.
Troop numbers are politically sensitive as voters in many allied countries are weary of the 12-year war with the Taliban.
Previous discussions at the White House focused on a range of options of between 3,000 and 9,000 U.S. troops, with military commanders most comfortable with the higher-end figures.
A senior NATO officer said last month the United States expects other NATO allies to contribute between a third and a half of the number of troops that Washington provides.
Apart from the NATO training mission, the United States will also lead a counter-terrorism mission in Afghanistan after 2014, targeting al Qaeda.
NATO allies agreed in Brussels the trainers will be stationed in the capital Kabul and in four regional headquarters, where they can advise Afghan military commanders.
"Today we asked NATO to begin planning for a range of options on the post-2014 posture that would provide for an effective regional presence not only in Kabul but at fixed sites in the north, south, the east and the west," Panetta told a news conference in Brussels.
The NATO talks about the residual force in Afghanistan came just over a week after Obama announced the withdrawal of roughly half of the 66,000 U.S. forces by early next year.
Panetta confirmed the bulk of the U.S. forces in Afghanistan would remain through the summer, allowing more than 60,000 of them to assist Afghans through peak fighting months.
U.S. troop levels would fall to about 50,000 by November this year. Panetta said the United States would keep some 34,000 troops in the country through the April 2014 Afghan presidential election to assist with security.
"Once those elections were completed, we would then begin the final drawdown of our forces towards the end of 2014," he said.
NATO is strongly considering keeping Afghan forces, largely funded by the United States and its allies, at their peak strength of 352,000 until at least 2018, as opposed to cutting them by about a third after 2015. This would cost an extra $2 billion over the three years, a NATO source said.
A larger Afghan force would give the United States greater flexibility as it withdraws its troops, said Panetta, but he added Obama had yet to make a decision on the matter.

Los Angeles police say talk show host Arsenio Hall drove off a road in the San Fernando Valley but he's uninjured.
Sgt. Russell Carr tells City News Service that Hall lost control of his Porsche and drove into a dirt shoulder at around 7:15 p.m. Monday in West Hills.
The car had to be towed.
Carr says it's unclear why Hall lost control of the car but police have ruled out driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Hall is best known for late-night talk show "The Arsenio Hall Show," which ran in the late 1980s and early 1990s was revived in September.

Euro-Zone Bank Plan Could Get Watered Down
One of the euro zone's most significant commitments last year aimed at containing its financial crisis could be undermined by technical complications and second thoughts by some governments. Matina Stevis joins Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images.

I ... and the European crisis ... alot know all about what we use to ... buy ... critical things going on right now surrounding the banking plan the plan to recapitalize the private banks the was agreed to last summer ... is it getting watered down or the things it agreed to maybe now I can go through the final plan ... that is the missus was to talk about this one ... I think and you know it's funny things is always this convoluted thing with you guys over there ... that something's agreed to a one point and later a no one likes so much ... to ... write exactly well that's exactly the reason why things calm down in cold we don't get to talk that much anymore which I ate I regret but it has not come down to kiss at the critical moment euro zone leaders make a statement that and Pfizer is interpreted by the markets normally write brightly so has the prom is a very bold moves forwards ... to contain the crisis is exactly what happened last June June two thousand file ... with regards to the cost of sorting out the euro zones ... weak banks and making sure that the cost of doing that didn't fall on weak countries like Ireland like Spain ... making them even weaker in even more indebted at the time that had a pretty clear and everyone thought okay well they're doing something serious to a contributed to calming effect of coming to the crisis fronts but since late Tuesday ... people may have to be reconsidered and they're saying well ... said exactly what we meant we didn't exactly work out the technical details ... I guess what they're working out exactly the D tells right now ... as we speak in the city ... um ... and it looks a lot less well than what we originally thought write a will and that is wound ... up with a sticky wicket right now ... well practiced our lives we lead the Jews ... and thus that the finance minister said said that we knew that countries like Finland the Netherlands and Germany countries who are ... quite strong rich and really bailout wary it there to adopt with the bailout situation they're fed up with taking on costs for the rest of the year is down and passing them onto the wrong taxpayers ... um they have said that they were not very keen on on nom ... this kind of ... into the banking the costs of former bank increase falling onto ... the euro zone bailout fund which is more or less but originally we believe that were promising ... um and since then they led the effort to backtrack on that ... um and three of the technical details now being worked out ... it looks like a really will be traceable bondholders and a bit in the end of week backs that the countries ... where those Baxter based and finally ultimately if necessary above a certain level ... of men in the final resort it will be the ... bailout fund that will have to step in ... I know this is all the ongoing negotiation right we expect anything on this for several months my rhythm ... that's right well the final three more in the so-called modalities is that it's a favorite Brussels were to how this thing will work exactly supposed to be agreed in June ... um ... but the euro zone and the euro zone governments the Finance Ministry officials were doing all the heart ... blood work urine Brussels ... to put this together having working intensively and we understand space now reporting that euro zone finance ministers will be meeting here in Brussels on Monday will be talking about how things proceed with this ... believe it and to thank you very much obviously a good story can be going online in the paper ... more than a dubious J dot com ...

You see, Orb callers and videographers are dangerous to the very power structure we live within. IF ordinary people are able to `perform miracles' that science doesn't understand as of yet - it hardly gives us confindence in our Government to `protect us'. And, IF ordinary people are able to perform miracles - all those houses of Worship worldwide are suddenly LESS important. A threat to the very power structure is what Orb Callers are. That is why they get no attention or are debunked.
Up till now, folks have only been able to `produce' atmospheric anomalous phenomena that is roughly in the Orb Plasma theater - NOT producing `solid structures'. But, then, a day or two ago - I became aware of a NEW `Orb Caller' name - one that if one is to believe the hype - produces UFOs upon demand; and, some of these `objects' ARE MORE WORRISOME than some plasma ball floating around that MAY be spiritual in some manner. His name is Robert Bingham, seems like a simple spiritual man, and he's in California.
First up, the video I first ran across - with the title of - UFO Sightings UFOs or Angels? Massive Sighting Man Summons - it has about 5k views on a `Gathering Site' with suspicious material all around. Uploaded this month with NO attribution. About a 5/1 positive ratio of pos/neg votes. Is this what UFO Disclosure has become?
link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPFxnR-uGp8&feature=player_detailpage
The comments below this video are classic:I've always known i had a guardian angel, she talks to me and gives me good ideas. Lately i have learned that the help is actually from the PLEIADIANS, who are 5th dimentional Extraterrestrials who are around earth in spaceships. They will make their presence known in the months ahead. Keep your eyes on the skys and say hello. PEACE, & Love.
- This channel is famous for bullshit! Do it under scientific study conditions and in a random location u are taken to and then I will sit up and listen to what u claim.
link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WX951FWhk8 - about 9k views and about a 2/1 pos/neg ratio of voting.
Description with video:
UFO Sightings The Man Who Summons UFOs World Exclusive! Multiple Eyewitnesses! Robert Bingham claims he can summon UFOs telepathically! On April 17 2012 at the Park Plaza Hotel California Robert Bingham along with many eyewitnesses achieves the impossible! Subscribe for part two of this Incredible Event!=========================================================So, Robert `believes' he has found a method to contact `angels' - as opposed to inducing some phenomena that responds to intentionality's - regardless of methodology/belief. And, while Robert can make these `things' appear in the sky in a distance - folks like Dean Clark were/is able to bring the phenomena even closer for a first hand look. What MUFON calls a `spiritual' event.----------So, the cat is out of the bag folks. `Aliens' in space craft may indeed exist within the time-cone; but, `aliens' (angels, fairies, genies in a bottle) can also be called `from beyond' to be within the time-cone. To be observed. To bring wonder to our world beyond what mankind can control. Beyond what the corporate interests can control. Something that the powers that be (TPTB) are NOT comfortable with - and ideas beyond what you are going to hear on TV.I expect I will be following this `story' a bit closer - perhaps we can dig deeper - before the MSM discredits it for their own purposes.=================================Thanks for your visit today. IF you think this post should be shared on Facebook (do your friends know about Orb callers?) all you have to do is use the share button below `f' on the panel of letters. Thanks for your readership. Oh, btw, it appears that Openureyes10's video has passed 54K views, 1000 times greater than when first played on UDCC.==================================Finally, if you are planning to travel this summer - why not check out the new kid on the block for Hotel Pricing.

ROCHESTER — The Somersworth/Coe-Brown boys hockey team withstood Noble/Wells' best shot and then delivered a knockout blow of its own.
The end result was a 4-3 win in the championship game of the Brian Doucette Memorial Tournament Saturday at the Rochester Ice Arena. It was the Bearcats' third straight Doucette title.
Somersworth/Coe-Brown broke a 1-1 tie in the second period with three unanswered goals over a five and a half minute stretch to go up 4-1.
Timo Jurenka, who seemingly spent more time in the penalty box than on the ice with four penalties, put the Bearcats up for good, 2-1, when he converted off a Noble/Wells turnover in its own zone, breaking in from the left circle and beating Knights goalie Wyatt Ricker (26 saves).
Jake Tomblin followed with two scores at 8:34 and 11:59 to make it 4-1 with Austin Siering, Colby Siering and Evan Marquis picking up assists.
"The second we came out to score," said tournament MVP Colby Siering, who scored the Bearcats' first goal of the period to make it 1-0. "We needed more shots and we came out with that, and we just put shots on the net and that's how we scored."
Tomblin's first goal came when Austin Siering got him the puck in front and with the right side of the net wide open, Tomblin quickly hit the puck in before Ricker could cover the corner.
Austin Siering, who did not play the first period, was moved from his normal spot on defense to forward and sparked the offense.
"After we got that first goal, things started clicking," said Somersworth/Coe-Brown coach Ron Siering. "We had a lot of momentum in the second period. The third period was kind of flat."
Tomblin's second was a rush from the left and he put it in top shelf right for the three-goal cushion.
"We weren't really expecting it, but it definitely meant a lot to us," Tomblin said of the offensive surge. "We've been doing this for four years now, the seniors, so it meant a lot to us."
A cushion the Bearcats needed every bit of as it turned out.
"That second period hurt us," said Noble/Wells coach Keith St. Cyr. "We started standing still. They started getting the momentum. And it was too late once we started getting it back in the third period. It was too late to catch up at that point."
Ryan Marsh, who scored the Knights first goal, made it 4-2 at 10:27 of the third from Mik Ricker and Ryer Smith. Smith closed the gap to one with 14 seconds to play from Connor Pease. Just a case of too little too late.
"We didn't want to give up," said Noble/Wells defenseman Chullainn Kelly. "We're tired of losing to these guys in the final. Next year's our year."
Somersworth/Coe-Brown survived a first-period onslaught by the Knights that saw them enjoy a 14-6 shots on goal advantage, but had nothing to show for it during the scoreless frame. The Bearcats played without top defenseman Austin Siering, who was benched for the period for his poor behavior in Friday's 5-3 win over Marshwood/Traip. He was ejected from that game in the third period.
"We couldn't take advantage of the opportunities in the first period," said St. Cyr, whose team scored 10 goals Friday night in beating Pembroke-Campbell. "I think that's what killed us. Somersworth came out a little flat. We had some energy, but we just couldn't capitalize on the chances that we had."
Colby Siering scored the game's first goal at 1:40 of the second period from Jurenka. Noble/Wells tied it up at 3:01 on the power play, Marsh from Nick Hudson and Kelly.
Colby Siering was joined on the all-tournament team by teammate Peter Robertson (24 saves in goal), Noble/Wells' Kelly and Ricker, Cam DuFault of Marshwood/Traip and Kyle Rainville of Pembroke-Campbell.
The Doucette family donated $500 of the tournament's proceeds to Newtown, Conn., victims fund. The other $500 will go to the Doucette Scholarship.
Somersworth/Coe-Brown, 4-2
Somersworth/Coe-Brown (2-0) 0 4 0 - 4
Noble/Wells (1-1) 0 1 2 - 3
Scoring: First period: None. Second period: S-C. Siering (Jurenka) 1:40: N-Marsh (Hudson, Kelly) 3:01 pp; S-Jurenka (Cordeiro) 6:21; S-Tomblin (A. Siering, Marquis) 8:34; S-Tomblin (C. Siering) 11:59. Third period: N-Marsh (Ricker, Smith) 10:27; N-Smith (C. Pease) 14:46.
Goalies: N-Ricker (30 shots, 26 saves); S-Robertson (27, 24), Launsby (4, 4).

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
is the remote put in configuration mode? (small switch besides usb plug)
send the "download configuration" command to the z-wave interface.press and hold "up" until it goes green and the press "up" again shortly.
they do automatically show up but you have to pair a reset dongle with a reset remote.
Ok, found how to reset the remote in the 200zw manual. And the USB Stick I have to send the command "reset" I assume.
How can I test that ?
I have only got two zwave devices at the moment and they are already included Can I just delete them in the Webinterface below lightning ? Probably not from what I have read.
And what happens if I move a zwave device to another room. Can I just change the room description and move it to the new room in the room plan ? The 200ZW manual says that one should "first Exclude it from the network, then Include it back to the network after you have re-located it.".
The 200ZW manual tells how to exclude things :...But what then afterwards ? Send command "download configuration" ? Or also reset both devices ?

Razor eSpark Electric Scooter
Product Details
About this item
Light up your electric ride with real sparks! Step on the Spark Bar and watch the sparks fly!
current price: $138.88
Online only
Cruise around the neighborhood in style with the Razor eSpark Electric Scooter. Step on the Spark Bar and watch the sparks fly! Boasting a chain-driven, high-torque motor and a handy twist-grip throttle, the eSpark is the perfect device for pre-teens and teens (age 8 and above) wanting to zip over to a friend's house or head to the park. Unlike Razor's E300S and E500S scooters; whose motors start from a standing position, the eSpark Scooter requires a small manual kickoff to 3mph before starting (the rider presses a trigger to engage the motor). Once the rider is on the move, however, the electric motor ramps up to 10mph; fast enough to have fun, but not fast enough to be a menace on the street or sidewalk. And thanks to the long-life rechargeable twin 12V battery, which takes about eight hours to fully charge, riders can cruise for up to 40 minutes at a stretch. Other details include a folding handlebar mechanism for easy storage and transport, an 8" pneumatic front tire and 125mm polyurethane rear wheel and a hand-operated front brake. Also includes, two Spark cartridges, UL approved battery charger, manual and assembly tools. Maximum weight capacity of 120 pounds.

Student Off-Campus Housing Is Back-to-School Bargain
Oversupply Is Prompting Some Landlords to Cut Rent
Some of the millions of students heading back to college—and their parents—are finding a pleasant surprise: Landlords nationwide are cutting rents because of an oversupply of student housing in college towns.
Since 2010, private-equity firms, real-estate investment trusts and private developers have been cranking up delivery of off-campus accommodations, often rich with amenities such as pools and movie theaters. That has raised fears of a glut in some markets, which has sparked a rout in the stocks of developers specializing...

Youth Members With Special Needs
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
and Venturers including Alternate Requirements for Boy Scouts.
Scout Spirit, Active, Special Needs, Eagle Projects, Scoutmaster Conferences,
Boards of Review, Appeals, Courts of Honor, Time Extensions, and more.
| The official source for the information shown in this article or section is:
Guide To Advancement, 2011 Edition (BSA Supply SKU #N/A)
Advancement for Youth Members With Special Needs
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 39)
The following are the guidelines for membership and advancement in Scouting for persons having disabilities or other special needs.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provides the following definition of an individual with a disability:
"An individual is considered to have a 'disability' if s/he has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g.,...seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, breathing, performing manual tasks, learning, caring for oneself, and working), has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
"An individual with epilepsy, paralysis, HIV infection, AIDS, a substantial hearing or visual impairment, mental retardation, or a specific learning disability, is covered, but an individual with a minor, nonchronic condition of short duration, such as a sprain, broken limb, or the flu would not be covered by the ADA.
"The ADA definition protects individuals with a record of a disability and would cover, for example, a person who has recovered from cancer or mental illness.
"And the ADA protects individuals who are regarded as having a substantially limiting impairment, even though they may not have such an impairment. For example . . . a qualified individual with a severe facial disfigurement is protected from being denied employment because an employer feared the 'negative reactions' of customers or co-workers."
The Department of Education identifies a severely handicapped child as one who, because of the intensity of his physical, mental, or emotional problems, or a combination of such problems, needs education, social, psychological, and medical services beyond those that have been offered by traditional regular and special educational programs, in order to maximize his full potential for useful and meaningful participation in society and for self-fulfillment. Such children include those classified as seriously emotionally disturbed or profoundly and severely mentally retarded, and those with two or more serious handicapping conditions, such as the mentally retarded blind, and the cerebral-palsied deaf.
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 40)
"The chartered organizations using Scouting determine, with approval of appropriate medical authorities, whether a youth member is qualified to register (based on the above definitions) beyond the normal registration age. The unit leader's signature on the youth application, No. 28-406, which includes all programs for Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing, or on the unit's charter renewal application certifies the approval of the chartered organization for the person to register. The local council must approve these registrations on an individual basis.
"The medical condition of all candidates for membership beyond the normal registration age must be certified by a physician licensed to practice medicine, or an evaluation statement must be certified by an educational administrator. Use the Personal Health and Medical Record Form. Any corrective measures, restrictions, limitations, or abnormalities must be noted. In the case of mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed candidates for membership, their condition must be certified by a statement signed by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist. Current health, medical, or certification records of all youth members beyond the normal registration age who have disabilities are to be retained in the unit file at the council service center.
"These procedures should be followed whether the member has been previously registered or is registering for the first time.
Advancement for Cub Scouts with Disabilities(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 40)
"The advancement program is so flexible that, with guidance, most youth can do the skills. It might take longer for a disabled boy to earn his awards, but he will appreciate them more by knowing he has made the effort. The standard for every boy is "Has he done his best?"
"A Cub Scout who is physically disabled may be given permission by the Cubmaster and pack committee to substitute electives for achievement requirements that are beyond his abilities. It is best to include parents in this process of determining substitutions since they are most familiar with their son's abilities.
"Immediate recognition of advancement is even more important for youth with disabilities. The Tiger Cub and Cub Scout Immediate Recognition Kits, the den doodle, and the Den Advancement Chart all help provide immediate recognition in den meetings as achievements and electives are completed. Remember that a month seems like a long time to a boy and that completing requirements for a badge might seem like forever to him. Be sure to give him periodic recognition at pack meetings when he earns a badge.
"While leaders must be enthusiastic about helping youngsters with disabilities, they must at the same time fully recognize the special demands that will be made on their patience, understanding, and skill in teaching advancement requirements.
Advancement for Boy Scouts with Disabilities(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 40)
"All current rank requirements for an advancement award (ranks, merit badges, or Eagle Palms) must actually be met by the candidate. There are no substitutions or alternatives permitted except those which are specifically stated in the requirements as set forth in the current official literature of the Boy Scouts of America. Requests can be made for alternate rank requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class using the information outlined in this chapter. No council, district, unit, or individual has the authority to add to, or to subtract from, any advancement requirements. The Scout is expected to meet the requirements as stated - no more and no less. Furthermore, he is to do exactly what is stated. If it says, "show or demonstrate," that is what he must do. Just telling about it isn't enough. The same thing holds true for such words as "make," "list," "in the field," and "collect, identify, and label."
Advancement for Venturers With Disabilities(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 41)
"Venturing also features an advancement program. To provide a pathway to many different experiences, five Venturing Bronze awards are available, one each for the five emphases—Arts and Hobbies, Outdoor, Sports, Sea Scouting, and Religious Life. The Bronze awards are designed to give a young person experiences from many different paths. A youth can also earn the Venturing Gold Award. The Gold Award program requires outstanding performance in a broad spectrum of activities: citizenship, leadership, service to others, community/family, outdoor experience, and total fitness. It was developed to challenge and motivate young people over an extended period of time.
"The highest Venturing award is the Silver Award. The Silver Award requires proficiency in emergency preparedness, participation in ethics in action, and completion of the Venturing Leadership Skills Course. Gold and Silver awards also require a crew review that includes Venturers and adults.
"There are three advanced levels of recognition that Venturers can earn. The Ranger Award identifies a Venturer who is highly skilled in a variety of outdoor skills, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others. The Quest Award piques the interest of that Venturer who has motivation to address healthy living among Americans as well as promote fitness for all for life.
"The TRUST Award is for Venturers to learn more about themselves, their communities, and their religion and culture, as well as those of others. Working on this award, the Venturer will be required to share what they learn with others.
"In Sea Scouting, the advancement track is from Apprentice to Ordinary to Able. The Quartermaster Award is the highest rank in Sea Scouting. Some Venturers who have been in Boy Scouts may wish to earn the Eagle Scout rank. If they have reached at least First Class rank in a troop, Venturers can work toward Eagle by meeting the requirements as defined in the Boy Scout handbook.
"For more information, see the Venturing Leader Manual and the Sea Scout Manual. They are both a wealth of how-to information and program ideas. They also include a dictionary-like reference guide of Venturing and Sea Scout terms, policies, awards, and program features.
Alternate Requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class Ranks
Alternate Merit Badges for the Eagle Scout Rank
(Quoted from: Advancement Policies #33088, p. 42)
Certification must be given by the appropriate local council committee responsible for advancement that each Eagle Scout candidate over the age of 18 and Venturing award candidate over the age of 21 has met the requirements as stated in the current official literature of the Boy Scouts of America. (A representative of the council advancement committee must be a member of the Eagle board of review.)
The council committee responsible for advancement must then secure approval of the council executive board. The Scout executive must attach a letter to the application indicating that the executive board has approved the application.
The candidate's application for the award must be made on the Eagle Scout Rank Application or Quartermaster Award Application and recorded on the Advancement Report form.
In the application of these policies for Scouts with special needs, reasonable accommodation in the performance of requirements may be made. These may include things such as the extension of time, adaptation of facilities, or the use of equipment or necessary devices consistent with the known physical or mental limitations of the handicapped individual. It is urged that common sense be employed.

Nation-Now 14 mins ago 1:04 p.m. Rex Tillerson says Russia poses a 'danger'
WASHINGTON – Former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson pledged Wednesday to restore American leadership in the world and to defeat the Islamic State as a priority in the Middle East during his Senate confirmation hearing to be Donald Trump's secretary of State.
"American leadership must not only be renewed, it must be asserted," Tillerson said in his opening statement to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "Competing priorities must be addressed, but they must not distract us from our first priority which is defeating (the Islamic State)."
The U.S. "must be clear-eyed about our relationship with Russia," he said. "Russia today poses a danger. It invaded Ukraine including Crimea and violated the laws of war. But it's an absence of American leadership that left this door open."
While being questioned about Russia and U.S. relations, Tillerson said, "We are not likely to be friends. We do not have the same values. But there is scope to define a different relationship to bring down the temperature of the conflict we have today. Dialogue is critical so these things do not spin out of control."
Several senators asked whether he agreed that Russia committed war crimes with its actions in Aleppo, Syria, in 2016; it's invasion of Ukraine's Crimea in 2014; and the murder of journalists and other critics around the world. Tillerson said he would need more information to make such a conclusion.
Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the committee, pointed out that Tillerson blamed a failure of U.S. leadership for Russia's recent aggressive actions into other countries.
"We are the only global superpower with the means and the moral compass capable of shaping the world for good," Tillerson said.
When Cardin asked about Russia's invasion of Crimea, Tillerson said "that was a taking of territory that was not theirs," adding that it "caught a lot of people by surprise. … "The real question is about the response."
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked Tillerson if he considers Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal, mentioning Russia's actions in Syria and Russia's war against an uprising in Chechnya province.
"Those are very very serious charges to make, and I would want more information before making that conclusion," Tillerson said.
Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., asked if Tillerson would agree such actions were criminal if U.S. intelligence agencies provided information confirming they did happen. "Yes sir," Tillerson said.
Corker earlier told Tillerson his nomination makes sense for a president-elect who looks at the world with the eyes of a businessman, having been head of one of the world's largest corporations with operations in dozens of countries.
"You may in fact be an inspired choice," Corker said. "You are the person in charge to provide advice to the president-elect on foreign policy," he added. "What the people here today are going to want to know is how are you going to advise."
Senators also asked Tillerson about climate change, especially considering his role at the helm of ExxonMobil, one of the world's largest petroleum producers.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., asked Tillerson to confirm media reports that ExxonMobil concluded as early as the 1970s that petroleum-based emissions were damaging climate, yet decided to fund and promote views contrary to its awareness of the science.
Tillerson replied, "Since I'm no longer at ExxonMobil I can no longer speak on its behalf."
Kaine then asked, "Do you lack knowledge or refuse to share your knowledge?"
"A little of both," Tillerson said.
Tillerson had many business dealings with Russia. In 2013, the oil executive received Russia's Order of Friendship award, which is given to foreign nationals who the Russian government believes have worked to better relations. Tillerson received the honor after inking a deal with a Russian oil company. He has also been critical of U.S. economic sanctions against Russia.
ExxonMobil did business with Iran, Syria and Sudan through a European subsidiary while Tillerson was a top executive of the oil firm, and those countries were under U.S. sanctions as state sponsors of terrorism, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. That business connection was legal but could still surface during questioning at the confirmation hearing.
Tillerson, 64, started working for Exxon in 1975 until he resigned from the company to join Trump's Cabinet. Tillerson started as a production engineer and moved up the ranks before becoming chairman and CEO in 2006. His experience negotiating with foreign governments — including governments hostile to the United States — was one of the reasons the president-elect selected him.
"The thing I like best about Rex Tillerson is that he has vast experience at dealing successfully with all types of foreign governments," Trump tweeted after announcing Tillerson's appointment in December.
Tillerson was president of the Boy Scouts of America for two years beginning in 2012. He also was a longtime board member and an Eagle Scout. He was involved in Scout leadership when the organization made the decision to allow openly gay members.

(Express-News File Photo)
1221 Broadway is envisioned as mixed-use buildings with apartments, and retail and office space.
On Thursday, developers of 1221 Broadway, the stalled mixed-use project on Broadway at U.S. 281, secured the final piece of the project's financing, a loan by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Since October 2004, the project has sat as a set of highly-visible, unfinished concrete-steel shells. The project is envisioned as a combination of apartments and retail and office space, and regarded as the first major piece of River North.
Construction will likely resume Monday.
"We've always looked at this as a catalytic project for River North," developer Ed Cross said. "We needed something to get it started above the (Museum Reach). Our goal is to have people moving into the building in six months."
When the Museum Reach was completed in May of last year, it was widely regarded as the backbone of River North. There were some establishments already in place, like the San Antonio Museum of Art and the VFW Post 76. And a handful of people do live on the Museum Reach now. But what 1221 Broadway will do is hit multiple targets at once, directly impacting Broadway, the Museum Reach, and the highway view of downtown's biggest entrance.
Specifically, the project will add 292 loft-style apartments to downtown, office and retail space and a parking garage with more than 500 spaces.
Cross, who developed the Vistana apartment building on downtown's westside, did not divulge the amount of the HUD loan, but said it was one of three primary pieces of the project's funding, the others being $3.7 million in city incentives, as well as cash equity invested by the project's partners. A portion of the $3.7 million will be used to improve the streets and drainage around the area. 1221 Broadway's overall price tag is said to be around $27 million.
As for why the project has be remained untouched for six years this month… I'd rather direct you to an article written by former business reporter Creighton A. Welch, who did about as good a job as anyone could have explaining the timeline. Click here to read that story.

Nom, nom, nom—summer break means plenty of time for sweet treats, and we have some delicious ideas for snacks that your kids can help with. Frozen, blended, fruit, chocolate—take your pick, we have it all. Here are some goodies that your family can enjoy all summer long.
Orange Cream Bars
This is a classic. Combine one part freshly squeezed orange juice with one part vanilla-flavored milk. Pour into molds and freeze solid. Save $1.25 on any 2 Silk Pure Almond Half Gallons.
Fruit Tacos
Dessert can be healthy, especially during summer when there's a wide variety of fruit at great prices. For a fruit taco, spread a small tortilla with yogurt and add bite-sized pieces of your favorite summer fruit. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or graham cracker crumbs to give it a little crunch.
Pudding Pops
This is so easy, your kids can do it by themselves. Stick a Popsicle stick through the lid of a personal-sized pudding, freeze and eat. You can use this technique for yogurt, too.
Frozen S'Mores
Melt chocolate in a double broiler and dip graham crackers, coating both sides. Let them cool completely on waxed paper. Defrost ice cream until spreadable (we suggest Rocky Road) and sandwich it between two crackers. For an added touch, sprinkle coconut or mini marshmallows while the coated crackers are cooling.
Dessert Pizza
Brush melted butter onto a premade pizza crust, bake until golden brown. Spread with a flavored cream cheese, and then layer on fruit. Our favorite combo—pineapple and Philadelphia Indulgence's milk chocolate spread. Save 55 cents on Philadelphia Indulgence Cream Cheese Spread now.
Peanut Butter and Banana Agave Smoothie
Here's a healthy treat we found on the C&H website. Combine peanut butter, a banana and agave nectar with vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, milk and ice cubes. Blend together and drink.
Fancy Cubes
Here's the perfect way to cool off with a refreshing summer mocktail. Put a small berry in each pocket of an ice cube tray, fill halfway with water or lemonade and freeze for an hour. Then fill the tray completely and freeze solid.

In Nordic skiing: Night relays show lighter side of competitive skiing
by Richard Creaser
copyright the Chronicle 2-17-2013
CRAFTSBURY — The lighting was dim, the footing uneven, and the quest seemingly impossible — locating Supergirl and a pink winged fairy. North Country Union High School's annual night relay on Thursday, February 14, at times seemed less a competitive cross-country skiing event and more like a vignette from a Hunter S. Thompson story, at least to the uninitiated.
The night relay is an annual event, normally held at the track at North Country proper. But due to limited snow cover, the event was moved to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Staggering down the hill through deeper snow, on account of having overlooked the perfectly groomed paths leading down to the relay area, I was greeted by a polar bear, a bumblebee, and two girls in grass skirts. I thought I had crashed the wrong event.
Coming across a journalist acquaintance, I discovered that costumes and revelry are actually part and parcel of the North Country night relay experience. A group of nearby Falcon varsity racers were quick to confirm this.
"I'm not sure when it started, but it's been going on long before we were in high school," senior Brian DeLaBruere said. "There are a lot of hills and features that you normally wouldn't encounter in Nordic skiing. It's fun and it's a nice change."
"It's also kind of neat that it's under the lights," Laura Smith added.
Asked why costumes became a part of the event, Jade Dandurand looked quizzical before responding, "Why not?"
The night relays are quite unlike most other Nordic events the North Country squad encounters in the run of a racing season. Relays are a part of the experience and, weather permitting, night relays occur as well. But nothing is ever quite like the North Country-hosted event.
"It's a little more carefree than most of the other races," Dan Decelles said. "Everyone has a chance to relax before heading off to the state championships. It's fun but everyone is still here to compete."
Craftsbury Academy's boys duo of Anders Hanson and Jacob Morse took third place, only one minute and eight seconds off the pace of Mt. Mansfield's first-place team of Wylie Picotte and Ben Hegman. North Country took eighth and ninth place in the two-man relays with Alex Cotnoir and Sam Brunette, finishing 22 seconds ahead of Dan Decelles and Brian DeLaBruere with times of 21:35 and 21:57, respectively. Craftsbury's Kestrel Owens and his partner Matthew Lawlor finished tenth with a time of 22:48.
In the girls' varsity race, Falcons Haley Jo Tetreault and Adele Woodmansee finished sixth overall with a time of 24:30, two minutes and 53 seconds behind event winners Molly Larson and Amy Bruce of Mt. Mansfield. Fellow Falcons Laura Smith and Jade Dandurand finished with a time of 27 minutes. Craftsbury Academy's Olivia Jones and Sabrina Thomas finished with a time of 31:14.
In the mixed relay, Mt. Mansfield again came out on top with the team of Wylie Picotte, Ben Hegman, Tiana Bibb, and Annavitte Rand finishing first with a time of 9:54. The Falcons would finish fifth and sixth, with the team of Haley Jo Tetreault, Adele Woodmansee, Alex Cotnoir, and Sam Brunette edging out the team of Laura Smith, Jade Dandurand, Dan Decelles, and Brian DeLaBruere with times of 11:16 and 11:30, respectively. A combined team of St. Johnsbury Academy and North Country racers Callum Hening, Sophie Martin, Patrick Lawlor, and Brianna Grimm finished ninth with a time of 12:29, while the Craftsbury team of Olivia Jones, Jacob Morse, Sabrina Thomas, and Anders Hanson finished eleventh overall with a time of 12:31.
In the junior varsity races, North Country's Alex Cope and Fred Petzoldt finished second only two seconds behind event winners Mt. Mansfield's Liam Ossler and Keegan Cummings with times of 11:41 and 11:39, respectively. Top Falcons girls JV racers were Rebeka Young and Brianna Grimm with a time of 15:44. Mt. Mansfield again claimed top honors behind the performance of Acadia Dinardo and Claire Julianelle who completed the race with a time of 12:29.
It was, at times, difficult to keep a straight face throughout the race. Where else would two ninjas, a pirate and a ladybug clamber up a hill dominated by a cougar and a man in a neon green vest? Where else could you show Supergirl a photo and discover that this is not the Supergirl you've been looking for?
And, for those who have ever wondered, a collision between a skier and a polar bear doesn't always have to end badly. Sometimes the two participants simply get up, shake the snow off, utter quick apologies and continue on their way. It's true, I saw it happen myself.
Spying a young man wearing a Cat in the Hat hat, I figured he would probably be the kind of person to put this whole experience into perspective. As Cat in the Hat hats go, it was among the finest examples of its kind, a fact attributable, no doubt, to its origins as a mother-made piece of millinery.
"I honestly don't know how it stayed on my head," Fred Petzoldt admitted. "There were a few hills, a lot of little bumps, and you could get some good speed coming into the homestretch. But it stayed on the whole time."
Mr. Petzoldt became momentarily distracted when a five-foot-and-change tall bumblebee passed by. The distraction was not his alone, however. After a pause, we resumed our conversation.
"This is actually my first year in Nordic skiing so I've never seen this before," Mr. Petzoldt said. "But I like it. It's a lot of fun."
North Country's night relays aren't the sort of thing that most people expect to see at a high school Nordic meet and that's perfectly okay. Amidst the pressure to succeed and the mental and physical toll racing takes on a body, sometimes it's nice to relax and let it all hang out, even if it is in a samurai costume.

Energy Ratings for Rental Units
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2000 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2000
If a property's energy use were made visible, would that be sufficient incentive to convince landlords to invest in energy-efficient capital improvements? That's the question the Meadville Community Energy Project (MCEP), based at Allegheny College in northwestern Pennsylvania, set out to answer when it began field-testing an innovative program aimed at encouraging efficiency in rental housing. The solutions that lead to energy savings in owner-occupied housing have not worked in many rental units. Although landlords may have the means to carry out energy-efficient capital improvements to their rental property, they typically have little incentive to pay for energy-saving measures, especially in areas like Meadville where tenants usually pay the utility bills. While tenants are generally motivated to reduce their utility bills, they frequently don't have the means to install any energy-saving equipment, other than the occasional plasticcovered window or low-flow showerhead. MCEP decided that one way to entice landlords to invest in energy efficiency might be to make a property's energy use more visible, through the use of a home energy rating. If a landlord could advertise a property'...

About Felucca Cruise
Simply constructed, feluccas are traditional sailboats that have been navigating the Nile for centuries. Our feluccas usually depart from Aswan and sail along to Edfu (south of Luxor), although sometimes we reverse the route and sail the other way. From the boat guests can immerse themselves in the sights and sounds of Nile village life. Dining is included in the tour and meals are prepared and served on board the boat. Daily life on the felucca includes topping up your tan, relaxing in the shade of a canopy or watching the sun set and the stars emerge.
A 2-night cruise is also available and sets sail in the afternoon from Aswan, heading North. The western shores of the Nile will be our resting ground on the first overnight stop and guests will have the option to take the evening to explore a local Nubian house and enjoy a campfire. The following day will be a leisurely one as we wind our way along the way to Kom Ombo Temple where we will drop anchor for the night. Day three will provide time for our guests to check out this holy site before we hop on a coach and head for Luxor, stopping at Edfu and the Temple of Horus en route.
Please be aware that feluccas are wind-powered, thus it is impossible to guarantee our itinerary to the letter. There are also no WC facilities on the boat so bear that in mind. Furthermore, the felucca only sails during the day and is moored at sundown where it remains stationary throughout the night. Roughly 8-12 people will fit in the boat and the main deck is kitted out with plush cushions for the ultimate comfort experience. A canopy has been installed as well, offering some respite from the fierce Egyptian heat. Please ensure you bring your own sleeping bag.

The NFL has forced fantasy owners to adapt to Thursday games. We are not always thrilled with it, but it is only one game, and no matter what happens, we still able to believe we have a chance on Sunday.
Thanksgiving, though, brings three games, while also forcing us to pay a certain level of attention to our families. So this matchup-altering grouping could have happened without us even noticing.
So here are the good and bad surprises from Turkey Day that one must overcome today.
Lions 40, Packers 10
The good: Reggie Bush
Production from Matthew Stafford (330 yards, 3 TDs, a mitigating 2 interceptions) and Calvin Johnson (6 catches, 101 yard, TD) is to be expected, but Detroit's running game was key to breaking a franchise-record, nine-game Thanksgiving losing streak.
Bush carried the ball 20 times for 117 yards, his second-best output of the season, and scored a touchdown when he only had four all season. He also caught five passes for 65 yards.
That is the second-most catches he has had this season and the most receiving yards since a 77-yard reception helped give him 101 in Week 1.
That is top-notch production from someone who was a borderline RB1.
The bad: Eddie Lacy
Those border areas often help determine matchups, and they sometimes fall the other way.
Lacy has been a pleasant fantasy surprise, giving the Packers a running game that has been nonexistent for years, but he only ran 10 times for 16 yards Thursday, his worst production of the season. This came just two weeks after he ran 14 times for 27 yards, his second-worst production of the season.
He fit a 25-carry, 110-yard between those, so it isn't time to give up on him, but Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone doesn't only affect Green Bay's passing game.
Cowboys 31, Raiders 24
The good: DeMarco Murray
Much like Bush, it isn't wild to be starting Murray as your top running back. Much like Bush, though, you probably aren't winning your league with that lineup. The fact that Murray carried the ball 17 times Thursday for 63 yards, a 3.7 average, is part of the reason why.
He scored three touchdowns, however, which is enough to offset many other issues. Add in some bonus points with five catches for 39 yards, and you get some happy owners.
An honorable mention needs to go to Raiders receiver Andre Holmes, who caught seven passes on 11 targets for 136 yards after entering the game with only three catches for 65 yards for the season. He only gets a mention, though, because no one owns him to benefit from that performance.
The bad: Matt McGloin
This is also the bad news for Holmes, because McGloin is the quarterback feeding him passes. Granted, anyone who went into this week starting him as a fantasy quarterback isn't a contender, but he does encapsulate a bigger issue, the Raiders' offensive inconsistency and general ineptitude.
McGloin completed 18 of 30 passes for 255 yards Thursday, with no touchdowns and an interception. It almost seems foolish to put any effort into imagining if he or Terrelle Pryor should be in the lead for the Oakland QB controversy. Does anyone win either way?
What this means is that the Raiders will keep giving us players who show flashes of wonder — Pryor, Rashad Jennings, Darren McFadden, Denarius Moore, Rod Streater, Holmes — but never be good enough to allow them to shine and be long-term fantasy starters.
Ravens 22, Steelers 20
The good: Torrey Smith
Smith started the season looking like a fantasy stud, getting at least 85 receiving yards in the Ravens' first five games. He did not hit that number in Baltimore's next six contests, though.
That means he was good enough that fantasy owners couldn't bench him, but bad enough to earn some expletives from the same owners.
Thursday, he got back on everyone's good side, catching six passes for 93 yards, both his biggest numbers since a six-catch, 121-yard outing on Oct. 6.
The Ravens have won three of four games, with the one loss coming in overtime. That comes after a stretch when they lost three straight and four of five. The new stretch brings hope that Smith can be carried along with the rest of the squad as the defending champs work to get back to the playoffs.
Though at the same time, the Ravens did much of their scoring Thursday off the foot of Justin Tucker, who was 5 of 5 on field goals. That is a fantasy boon, but hitting the end zone is better for all involved.
The bad: Ray Rice
First off, to be fair, there wasn't a whole lot of bad in this game. Rice even caught six passes for 38 yards, not a great yardage output, but not a bad bonus from a running back, especially in points-per-reception leagues.
Rice also had a problem churning out yards from the backfield, though, only getting 32 yards on 12 carries, a 2.7 average. That is part of a bigger problem this season for Rice, who is only averaging 2.9 yards per carry overall. That number had never been below 4.0 for Rice in his previous four seasons.
This season, though, Rice has had only one game when he reached that pace (see chart). And though I have no numbers to back up the point, it does often feel like running backs hit a season when they just don't have it anymore, and Rice may be there, even though he is only 26.
That or he is a draft steal next season.

In this case, there is not much difference between the past participle has eaten and the simple past ate.
He found a new restaurant, ordered noodle[s], and ate them.
Always try to use the simplest expression that will convey your exact meaning.
I want to put the following statements at once:
-- He has found a new restaurant.
-- He has ordered noodle.
-- He has eaten the noodle.
And I find this:
Ex: "He has found a new restaurant. He has ordered noodle. He has eaten the noodle."
Is there any problem?
Please don't criticize the short sentences. I just want to talk about the tense.
In this case, there is not much difference between the past participle has eaten and the simple past ate.
He found a new restaurant, ordered noodle[s], and ate them.
Always try to use the simplest expression that will convey your exact meaning.
This is what I meant. May you tell me the exact reason why we use Simple Past? It is a strange use.Originally Posted by mykwyner
Simple Present is also simple enough. Can we use Simple Present to link them up?
My exact meaning is of course Present Perfect, obviously.
In what case exactly? Why can we use Simple Past to replace Present Perfect? If they are the same, why are there two tenses?Originally Posted by mykwyner
First of all, it is not a strange use of tense.
Secondly, the first sentence "He has found a new restaurant." should be used in the simple past tense.
As for the second and the third senteces, they can be used either in the simple past or the present perfect.
No, I don't think so. Mykwyner's example is correct. Yours is incorrect.Originally Posted by dr_linguista
Even you are correct, which is actually not, why will you have to use Simple Past for the first sentence? Can you name a reason at all?
I call it strange because you cannot tell the correct reason.
The PP is used for a number of reasons but we need not go into all of them now. The ones that have a bearing on the present discussion is the one already mentioned and a second which will answer your question, "why have two tenses?"
One of the jobs of the PP is to make past actions seem more important, more current, more a hot topic. This is something that only the speaker can decide so we really can't state categorically that these examples must be either the PP or psat simple.

There is no problem in using "noodles", please check "noodles" on internet. Or you may check exactly "order noodles". I always order two kinds of noodles at once.
Of course we may any kinds of tenses in news. But I am pointing at the usual expressions of tenses in news, where they mostly use Simple Past, as in the following:
France wants EU meeting over Lebanon By Swaha Pattanaik1. In the news, the two Present Perfect actions -- Has Pledged and Has Increased -- have happened before Sunday's Simple Past actions, but why don't they reporters use Past Perfect? In grammars, we understand that those things finished before Simple Past should be in Past Perfect, don't we?2 hours, 14 minutes ago
PARIS (Reuters) - France CALLED on Sunday for a European Union meeting next week to co-ordinate what member countries plan to do about a U.N. force for Lebanon.
"We ask that European solidarity is expressed as soon as possible about Lebanon," Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy TOLD France Info radio, adding he had asked EU president Finland to call a meeting in Brussels early next week.
France WANTED "to know what our different European partners count on doing as quickly as possible about Lebanon," he said.
France has pledged to send only 200 extra troops to Lebanon, disappointing Washington and the United Nations, which had hoped it would form the backbone of an expanded U.N. force.
On Saturday, President Jacques Chirac SPOKE to leaders from several countries, including Italy's Romano Prodi and Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, to stress the need for a clearer mandate for the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
In Rome, Prodi's office SAID he discussed the force in separate telephone conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
Both men TOLD Prodi they appreciated that Italy was ready "to assume a role of primary importance" in the mission.
Italy's chances of leading the force have increased following France's apparent reluctance to commit more troops.
2. My theme question is, however, as in "In Rome, Prodi's office SAID he discussed....", when will the reporter use Simple Past SAID? Is it at once when he hears it? If so, it is ungrammatical. This also hardly explains why do reporters use Simple Present "says" sometimes.
Or is it when the reporter is back in press room, pretending the saying is now over? If so, however, why is the news headline in Simple Present "wants"?
