WASHINGTON — Iraqi Police detained eight suspected insurgents from a government building in Fallujah this week, and Coalition Forces killed an al-Qaida assassination team there Oct. 31, military officials in Iraq reported.
Iraqi Police officers detained eight Iraqi local nationals, including three of the Fallujah mayor's personal security officers, for suspected insurgent activity after receiving attacks from a government building today in downtown Fallujah. Following a rocket-propelled-grenade attack on the Joint Coordination Center in the heart of the city, Marines from Regimental Combat Team 5 were attacked with small-arms fire from a mosque. The Marines established positive identification of the target, returned fire and commenced to cordon off the area surrounding the mosque. Soon thereafter, Iraqi Police officers arrived on the scene and entered the mosque. A grenade was subsequently hurled at the Marines from a government building near the mosque, so the Iraqi Police, with the Marines in support, gained entry to the structure and uncovered multiple AK-47s, ammunition and magazines. The eight local nationals, seven of whom are employed in the government center, are not authorized by the Fallujah government to bear arms and were detained for further questioning. In another operation, Coalition Forces killed an al-Qaida assassination team in Fallujah Oct. 31. Coalition snipers heard gunshots and quickly responded to the murder of an off-duty Fallujah policeman by gunmen in civilian clothes. The Marines from 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 5, immediately engaged the armed gunmen and killed two of them. The third gunman was killed as he attempted to flee in a vehicle. "We honor the service of the Fallujah policeman, Hamed Mohammed Jassim," said Coalition spokesman Marine Lt. Col. Bryan Salas. "He stood against the murder and intimidation campaign of the terrorists to help bring security and prosperity to his neighbors in Fallujah. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family." Assault rifles and other items were recovered from the gunmen. (Compiled from Multinational Corps Iraq news releases.)

The recent election in Venezuela offers an opportunity to improve the US-Venezuela bilateral relationship. On Oc. 7th, President Hugo Chavez was reelected to a new six-year term by a nine point margin. I — along with hundreds of other international witnesses — was duly impressed with the transparency of the electoral process and the enthusiasm of Venezuelans for democracy. Eighty-one percent percent of registered voters went to the polls! This turnout was remarkable when compared to the United States and other "mature" democracies.
Whether or not one agrees with Chávez's policies, there can be no doubt that he won these elections fairly. There are so many checks and balances in the electoral system in Venezuela that there is virtually no room for fraud. The voter registry, the voting machines, the electronic ballot and the data transmission system are all fully audited by representatives of all the different political parties and independent observers.
Former President Jimmy Carter recently called the Venezuelan voting system "the best in the world." He noted that the voting machines print out a paper receipt that voters can look at to verify that their selection was recorded correctly, and poll workers check those receipts against the electronic tally.
I was particularly struck by the atmosphere of peacefulness and mutual respect in the voting centers, where monitors from both pro-government and opposition groups were present. In contrast with elections past, the two main candidates manifested a similar attitude. Once the election authorities announced the results, opposition candidate Henrique Capriles rapidly conceded defeat, and he quickly scolded "radical" opposition supporters who insisted on alleging that fraud had taken place, despite no evidence to support their claims. Chávez also behaved gracefully, calling Capriles the following day to express his willingness to work together to mitigate the polarization that divided Venezuelans.
Most of Venezuela's political leadership — following a tumultuous power struggle, during which a coup d'Etat and violent protests occurred — appear to have accepted to follow the democratic rulebook and be more tolerant of one another. This is an important step forward, and the United States should encourage Venezuelans to continue seeking common ground, rather than support one group over another, as has at times been the case in recent years.
Most importantly, over 55 percent of Venezuelan voters cast their vote in favor of Chávez. The United States should respect this outcome and seek to improve relations in areas where we can agree. Commercial relations between our two countries have generally been excellent, despite political differences, and both countries would greatly benefit from their expansion.
Venezuela will no doubt continue to play a central role in the region's new multilateral cooperation and consultation mechanisms, such as the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the Community of Central American and Caribbean States (CELAC). The United States, which has increasingly found itself isolated in regional forums, would do well to find ways to work with these new groups on important issues such as drug trafficking and energy cooperation. Improved relations with Venezuela would greatly facilitate this task.
Our government will certainly have important differences with Venezuela, particularly in the area of international relations. But we can agree to disagree, as we do with many other partners throughout the world. I am convinced that the Venezuelan government is prepared to respond favorably to such an initiative.Retired US Representative William D. Delahunt is chairman of the Venezuela-US Friendship Group,

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

This "space" painting is one of a many that Rick has been working on. On this reverse painting on tempered glass, Rick uses many of the techniques he has developed over the past 25 years. The multi-dimensional affect is achieved with the use of resins, automotive enamels, and films.
Artist Statement By Rick L. Silas I believe my work is filling a very large gap in the use of new mediums in the fine arts. Most conventional art schools teach mediums that are centuries old; oil painting, printmaking, water colour, pen and ink, and many more in sculpture such as wood, metal and stone. When budgets allow rather than introducing new processes and contemporary materials we added computer generated imagery into the mix. Although this is a great medium I cannot help but wonder what Leonardo Da Vinci would have created with liquid polymers and tempered glass. When I finished my formal education back in 1981 I decided to take a different approach and started experimenting with more contemporary mediums such as...

Courtney Stodden Poses For Girls and Corpses Magazine
Well, this is an interesting development.
Shortly after her 18th birthday, we interviewed Courtney Stodden, and she set the record straight about the Playboy offer rumors and porn deals. We'll be honest, we were a little disappointed when she told us she had nothing cooking with Playboy. We are...no longer disappointed.
Not only did Courtney pose nude, but she posed in the weirdest, coolest magazine we know: Girls and Corpses, a horror/comedy publication with real hot babes and real...dead people. We're fans of the bizarre; so much so that we interviewed the magazine's founder, publisher, and 'Deaditor-In-Chief,' Robert S. Rhine, a few months back.
You can pre-order your very own copy of Courtney's April Issue on the Girls and Corpses site; shipping date is April 15th. Perfect; a death and taxes combo platter.

Hatherop is a village in southern Gloucestershire, and its church, St Nicholas', is one of the 'CHEQS' churches.
[A description, and picture, of the church will be posted here soon.]
We hold at least two services a month: a quiet Book of Common Prayer service of Holy Communion at 8.30 am on first & third Sundays. Other services are held from time to time – details here.
You can find details of this month's services in Hatherop and the other CHEQS churches here; and next month's here.
There are two schools in the village – Hatherop (C of E) Primary School and Hatherop Castle School & Nursery.
Hatherop is part of the united parish of Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop & Quenington: Wardens – John Berry, Hugh Poole-Warren & Val Trafford; PCC Secretary – Val Trafford. The church's postcode is GL7 3NB.
'Advent' means 'Coming'. At this time of year Christians look back to the coming of God to us in the birth of Jesus; and we look forward to his 'coming again' at the end of all things, to bring in God's kingdom of love and justice.
Every parish must by law have an Annual Meeting. Technically in fact it consists of two separate meetings, the one usually held immediately after the other: first an Annual Meeting of Parishioners, at which all church-members and local residents are invited to elect the parish's churchwardens; and secondly the Annual Parochial Church Meeting for church-members only, at which other business (such as the election of PCC members and approval of financial accounts) is done.

Christians believe that the end of Jesus' earthly ministry came forty days after Easter, with his 'ascension' to heaven – not so much a physical journey as a return to the presence of God, his Father and ours.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent (the forty-day season of preparation before Easter). Its name derives from the custom of sprinkling ashes as a symbol of penitence.
For Sunday services in August in Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop & Quenington click here, for Eastleach click here and for Southrop click here.
Baptism, also known as 'Christening', is the official way of joining the Christian church. Adults and teenagers who come to faith are baptized in our churches, as are the children of parents who pledge to bring them up as Christians.
The Book of Common Prayer is a revision, made in 1662, of the original Church of England prayer books of 1549 & 1552. Still highly valued for the beauty of its prose, we use it in the CHEQS churches at least once a Sunday: details here.
'Bouthrop' is the traditional name, still used locally, for the former parish of Eastleach Martin – now combined as a single parish with Eastleach Turville.
Candlemas is the last of the celebrations of Christmas, and commemorates the 'presentation' of the infant Jesus in the temple.
The acronym 'CHEQS' refers to the five villages, and churches, of Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop, Eastleach, Quenington and Southrop.
To visit the CHEQS website home-page, click here; and to see the CHEQS magazine, click here.
The Feast of Christ the King is a relatively recent addition to the church's calendar, having been instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI. This was in response to growing secularism, and the rise of fascism, in Europe; and reminds us that our allegiance as Christians is not primarily to party or nation or to any human institution – but to Jesus, the 'Servant King'.
We have five churches in regular use in the CHEQS group (St John the Baptist's in Coln St Aldwyns, St Nicholas' in Hatherop, St Andrew's in Eastleach, St Swithin's in Quenington and St Peter's in Southrop); and also a redundant church building (Stt Martin & Michael's in Bouthrop, now part of Eastleach parish).
'Compline' is an ancient monastic service, the last of the day. It's now more often known as Night Prayer.
For Sunday services in December in Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop & Quenington click here, for Eastleach click here and for Southrop click here.
Easter is the climax of the Christian year. God's love is stronger than death itself, and the grave couldn't hold the crucified Christ.
Epiphany means "revelation". The old Prayer Book name for the festival is the "Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles" – the wonderful fact that God's love is for everyone, not just a chosen few.
While children are welcome at all our services, the reality is that some of them are quite difficult for younger children especially. At 'Family Services' we make an extra effort to make the worship accessible to all ages, including children.

Good Friday is the solemn day on which Christians remember the death of Jesus on the cross. At one level a tragic event, the church calls it 'good' because the story didn't end there, but on the cross Death itself was defeated through the triumph of the Resurrection that followed.
Harvest Thanksgiving is a relatively modern addition to the church calendar. Its origins are usually traced to the adaptation in 1843 of Lammas Day by Rev RS Hawker, a parish priest in Cornwall. He chose the first Sunday in October as a Christian response to coincide with the traditional but largely secular 'harvest home' celebration, but there is some evidence to suggest that a thanksgiving for the harvest was already a relatively widespread practice. An annual church celebration of the harvest certainly established itself rapidly with great popularity and was first recognized officially in the Church of England in 1862.
During the reign of Constantine (the first Roman Emperor to profess the Christian faith), his mother Helena went to Israel to look for the places that were especially significant to Christians. Having found what she believed to be the sites of Jesus' crucifixion & burial (at locations that modern archæologists think may be correct), she then had built over them the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – dedicated on 14 September 335. That date has become a day for recognizing the Cross (in a festal atmosphere that would be inappropriate on Good Friday) as a symbol of triumph – a sign of Christ's victory over death, and a reminder of his promise "When I am lifted up I will draw all people to me."
Christians commemorate the last days of Jesus' life as 'Holy Week' – the days leading to his death on Good Friday and the glory of his resurrection on the first Easter Day.

Lent is the forty-day period leading up to Easter. Traditionally observed as a time of spiritual reflection and self-discipline, its name comes from the fact that the days are lengthening at this time of year.
The word 'Maundy' probably comes from the Latin 'Mandatum', the first word of Jesus' saying "I give you a new commandment: that you love one another, as I have loved you" (Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos). On this day we remember Jesus' 'Last Supper' when he washed his disciples' feet, and spoke of his imminent death.

In times gone by, Mothering Sunday was a day when domestic servants were given a day off to visit their mother church, usually with their own mothers and other family members. The children would pick wild flowers along the way to place in the church or give to their mothers. Eventually, the religious tradition evolved into the Mothering Sunday secular tradition of giving gifts to mothers.

On Palm Sunday Christians remember the 'triumphal entry' of Jesus into Jerusalem at the start of the last week of his life.
'Passion', in its old sense, means 'suffering' – and the fortnight leading to Easter is a solemn period in which we remember the last days of Jesus' life. During this time he went to Jerusalem where he was betrayed, captured, tortured and executed.
Pentecost, sometimes known as 'Whitsun', celebrates the coming of God's Holy Spirit on the first followers of Jesus – the event that in effect heralded the beginning of the Christian church.
Recharge is an occasional informal service at Fairford United Church "offering an opportunity to worship through modern songs as well as to pray and reflect on God's Word". Recharge starts at 7.30 pm for about 1¼ hours following refreshments from 7.00 pm. Details of these services in the next few months can be found on our Youth & Children's page.
The Pilgrim Course is a Church of England initiative for nurturing Christian faith & discipleship. We are exploring the the possibility of using it in the CHEQS churches in 2016.
To marry in a church, you need to have a specific connexion with it. (This is the law of the land, not just a church regulation.) Typically you must live in the parish and/or attend the church regularly, though some other connexions are possible full details can be found here.
'Readers', sometimes known as 'Lay Readers', are authorized lay ministers in the Church of England, especially responsible for preaching and leading worship. Our Readers in the CHEQS churches are John Exelby and Hanmer Webb-Peploe.
Originally, the Christian observance of Rogation was taken over from Græco-Roman religion, where an annual procession invoked divine favour to protect crops against mildew. The tradition grew of using processional litanies, often around the parish boundaries, for the blessing of the land. The poet George Herbert interpreted the procession as a means of asking for God's blessing on the land, of preserving boundaries, of encouraging fellowship between neighbours with the reconciling of differences, and of charitable giving to the poor. In more recent times, the scope of Rogation has been widened to include petition for the world of work and for accountable stewardship, and prayer for local communities.
Hatherop church is dedicated to St Nicholas, Bishop of Myra in the fourth century. Traditions about St Nicholas form the background to the modern myth of Santa Claus (his name in Dutch).
Quenington church is dedicated to St Swithun (known locally as "St Swithin"). – Bishop of Winchester from October 853 until his death (on 2 July) in about 862.

SNAP is our "Youth Service for All Ages" – organized and led largely by our teenagers but open to all. Details of services in the next few months can be found on our Youth & Children's page.
The Team Council is the governing body for our South Cotswold Team of Parishes – twenty-two churches, of which the CHEQS churches are five. It meets three or four times a year to discuss matters of common concern.
During the summer months we meet for Evening Prayer at 5.00 pm every Wednesday in a different village church across the South Cotswolds Team. Venues for the next few weeks are detailed here.
God is One, Christians believe ... but not a singularity. There is relationship within God, a three-fold community (a 'Trinity') of love. Specifically the One God became involved in the contingencies of human experience, in Jesus Christ; and continues involved in the world and the church through the Spirit.
Vespers is the Roman Catholic equivalent of what the Church of England generally calls 'Evening Prayer'.

Prove Genealogy Backwards, Read History Forward
As genealogists, we are taught to start with the present and prove our genealogy backwards in time. For each generation we gather enough information to prove our connections and only then do we step back to the next generation. The idea behind this is if you start with an ancestor way in the past you could end up researching someone who is not really in your family tree at all.
Imagine my ears perk up as I was driving this week and heard Professor Gary W. Gallagher tell me to read history forward.
When I go on long distance driving trips I love to listen to a series of CDs called The Great Courses. These CDs cover a multitude of topics from art history to music appreciation, philosophy, history, etc. My local library has a number of different topics but my favorite set is the History of the United States, 2nd Edition.
Typically I listen to the CDs that cover early American history but for my most recent drive to Connecticut I chose to listen to Civil War history for the first time. The lectures are presented by Professor Gary W. Gallagher of the University of Virginia. They were fascinating.
In the midst of listening to all the political and military details of the times, Professor Gallagher said "Read History Forward." In the course of the CDs he repeated this not once but twice.
Here's one of the examples that he used to explain what he meant. The Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most important battles of the Civil War. It was the battle with the largest number of casualties and was considered as the turning point in the war. Professor Gallagher cautions that how we regard the Battle of Gettysburg today is based on knowledge gained after the war was over. Our historical retrospective provided greater importance for how we now view those events.
Professor Gallagher argues that at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg Americans did not feel that it was a turning point in the war. His hope is to impress upon listeners the importance of reading contemporary history forward from the time of the actual event to learn how contemporaries really felt about the event. He stressed that it is important to put historical events into proper contemporary context and be sure that we are accurately recounting how the people at that time felt rather than how we now view an event.
This was like an aha! moment for me. I had never really considered with such precision the concept that Professor Gallagher presented. Yet it occurred to me that this philosophy is crucial for everyone who wants to add flesh to the bones of history or genealogy.
To accurately represent historical figures or our own ancestors we need to not only do extensive research using primary and secondary sources but we need to accurately interpret the context of the times by understanding contemporary point of view. Contemporary context of public (and private) interpretation of historical events seems as important as adding social history facts to the lives of our ancestors.
Not only should we be saying that the Civil War occurred during our ancestors lives but we have the opportunity to show how people in America felt about those events as they happened. And we should be accurately representing their contemporary point of view rather than how we feel about those events today.
"Read history forward." It's definitely food for thought. I'm going to embrace it and add it to my tool box.

Excellent! "...interpret the context of the times by understanding contemporary point of view."ReplyDelete
Well said, Marian!ReplyDelete
I love newspapers for this very reason. They put a person's story into context with what else is going on at the time--events, attitudes, prejudices, day-to-day happenings. Letters to the editor are great--everyday people, everyday attitudes. Time passes. Attitudes change. I love reading "contemporary" reviews of great literature works for the same reason. Today's classics weren't always so popular back in the day. It's kind of like looking at history in the same way.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the interesting post
Good thought. I agree with Cynthia. Newspapers do put you in the current thoughts of the time period. Very interesting.ReplyDelete
Great food for thought!ReplyDelete
This very much expresses something that has been nagging at the back of my mind as I read through old newspapers - there were some significant differences in how they saw the events of their day.ReplyDelete
Marian, I LOVE The Great Courses and just finished History of the United States this week. It was an amazing course, wasn't it? I learned so much.ReplyDelete
Double thanks - for the recommendation of The Great Courses and for sharing what you learned from Prof. Gallagher. Great post.ReplyDelete

Conifers growing in Minnesota have had a long, hard winter with plenty of opportunities for winter injury, according to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Conifers growing in Minnesota have had a long, hard winter with plenty of opportunities for winter injury, according to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). By now, many people have noticed conifers full of brown and red needles, especially along highways. People might have seen the conifers in their yards, or along buildings and driveways, are turning red or brown.
In spite of their appearance, people should not prune or remove the discolored trees. Chances are good that the trees are alive and healthy beneath their mask of red needles. Buds were well protected during the winter and will grow once spring arrives, said Jana Albers, DNR forest health specialist.
The most evident damage, caused by de-icing salts, occurred on white pines growing along highways. This salty water settles on the pines and is absorbed into individual needles, killing them back starting at the tips. Other damage to conifers can be caused by winter drying, or needle dehydration.
"Throughout the winter, each passing car sends up clouds of salty water," Albers said. "Winter injury is also caused by strong, dry winds, many days of bright sunshine." and low relative humidity that dries the needles
Some trees or groups of trees seem to get winter injury every year. It is likely the trees are stressed due to poor site conditions.
Native tree populations are adapted to their location. Moving seeds or seedlings 100 miles north or south of their site of origin can result in damage due to winter injury.
Prevention techniques:
* When selecting trees to plant, choose species that are adapted to local growing conditions.
* Avoid planting white and red pines, balsam fir and white spruce within 150 feet of a highway to prevent salt damage.
* Avoid planting yew and arbor vitae on south or southwest sides of buildings or in sunny and windy locations.
* Erect temporary barriers around conifers susceptible to winter burn. They can be made of plywood, burlap, tar paper or plastics.
* Just after the snow melts and prior to bud break, rinse de-icing salts off both conifers and hardwoods.
* Reduce or eliminate the use of de-icing salts.
* Replace trees that have severe winter injury year after year. They are not in the right location and will only decline due to needle and twig loss over a period of many years.
* Keep conifers properly watered throughout the growing season and fall. Decrease the watering slightly in September to encourage hardening off. Water thoroughly in October until freeze-up.

Puppy 1.04 works well, but
I updated both my USB drive/live CD and hard drive installations to Puppy 1.0.4. Puppy 1.04 works well. Abiword now prints out properly. Gnumeric is great. I have a data analyis sheet that I can transfer and use Puppy with. Puppy for me is at the point that I can use it as normal every day Linux system. I am now using Puppy 1.04 hard disk install to do this.
I did have one strange thing that happen when I first updated my hard drive installation. I use LILO to boot one of the three operating system on my hard drive. After the Puppy 1.04 update, I boot to Puppy and got this error message: LILO error Loading PuppyEBDA is big kernel setup stack overlays LILO second stage. The system then stopped. Using my other Linux, point LILO to 1.03 kernel and then booting, I got Puppy to work with lots of error messages. I did a fresh install to thehard disk using the live CD and USB drive. Made LILO to use new Puppy 1.04 kernel and everything worked fine as has been doing so. I do not know why this occurred, but I thought I would post it.
Thank you for all your work, Barry!

I got this a few times with another distro install. I forgot to run /sbin/lilo after doing the new installation. If the new vmlinuz is different in size for some reason, lilo needs to be invoked again, pointing to the new vmlinuz file. Of course, the partition needs to be mounted, so lilo found it.
Once /sbin/lilo was invoked, found the new vmlinuz file and successfully ran, all was fine on the next boot.
I love it when a plan comes together

Puppy 1.0.4 is one step closer to 1.0.5 and to get to 1.0.5 we need to test out the changes that Barry has made, a lot of which are not obvious as they are under the skin.
By testing and reporting on the forum we can improve Puppy and try to include the things that people are requesting.

Among other things, the kernel has been upgraded. It also appears that printing from AbiWord may have been fixed. If that is true, and if my SmartLink modem will work with the new package, then I will be upgrading and likely ditching Xandros as it seems mighty slow on this, a brand new computer. I must be spoiled by Puppy.
Now that you point it out to me, the answer seems painfully obvious.

Over 300 downloads of Chubby Puppy in 24 hours
(I think there would have been more but the server could not take it)
we now have bit torrents in place
Really glad to see BareBones made it again
And also (if possible) I feel going over to GRUB which is our preferred bootloader is worth considering (instead of LILO)
Some distros (practically all of them) change the externals to impress and wow the superficialists. It is a cheap trick MS uses to generate undeserved revenue.
(hey don't knock it - it always works on me . . .)
Puppy being ever frisky changes a great deal (Barry works full time on Puppy) but the changes are outwardly not so apparant.
Reading the News page at PuppyLinux.com over the last month will show many of the changes . . .
Better printing is probably the most important but others will have their favs . . .

Thanks Danleff, that is how I fixed the problem and did not know what I did. I did re-run Lilo after the clean installation. Lobster, I will be changing to GRUB in the future. It has been on the "to do list". I want to make sure before I really foul up my hard drive.
As far as the opinion of 1.04 versus 1.03, I have been following the development of Puppy since version 0.86 (earliest version in the notebook I keep). There has been steady improvement in each new version. For me, version 1.04 is at the point where I can use it on a day to day basis. Like the others have said, it is the internal changes that count. Puppy has not shown massive growth in size unlike a lot of other commerical products.

I look on the forum a lot, don't know why but to learn or something,
anyhoo, upgrading to alsa sound structure might not be such a good idea
seeing how there have no5t been to many complaints about sound
and when there are it is usually taken care of immediately
just my thoughts to barry and other developers don't fix what is'nt broken

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — An independent panel of experts has concluded that the country's multi-billion dollar hydropower dam being built on the Nile River will not significantly affect Sudan and Egypt, countries that are highly dependent on the water of the world's longest river, said an Ethiopian official.
The Ethiopian official, who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the topic, said late Saturday that the final report by the panel of experts — which included representatives from Egypt and Sudan — concluded after a yearlong studythat the dam's construction meets international standards.
Egypt in the past has threatened to go to war over its "historic rights" to Nile River water but diplomats from both countries this week played down the potential for conflict over the construction of the dam.
Ethiopia on Tuesday started diverting the flow of the Nile to make way for its $4.2 billion (80 billion Ethiopian Birr) hydroelectric plant dubbed the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The project is currently about 21 percent complete, he said.
The experts' report was submitted to the three countries on Friday, the official said.
The experts, especially from Egypt, expressed concerns on the possible environmental impacts of the dam, recommending a further extensive environmental impact assessment study, he said.
Another concern is the safety of the dam, the official said, though the major concern remains whether the flow of the river will be affected to by filling the dam's reservoir
The Ethiopian Ministry of Water and Energy said it will carefully consider recommendations of additional assessments and proposals "that would help the basin countries benefit better from the dam."
The dam has been under construction for over two years on the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia's Benishangul-Gumuz region near a Sudanese border.
On completion it is expected to produce 6,000 megawatts which will make it Africa's largest hydroelectric power plant. It is also expected to have a large reservoir of around 70 billion cubic meters which is scheduled to start filling next year.
Ethiopian Minister of Water and Energy Alemayehu Tegenu told the Associated Press that Egypt should not worry about a diminished water share from the Nile.
"We don't have any irrigation projects around the dam . the dam is solely intended for electricity production ... So there should not be any concerns about a diminished water flow," Alemayehu told The Associated Press on Saturday.
"Even during the period when we would be filling the reservoir, we are going to employ a careful and scientific water impounding technique to make sure the normal flow is not significantly affected," the minister added.
Eighty-five percent of Nile waters originate in Ethiopia yet the East African nation thus far utilizes very little of those waters and the country has become synonymous with famine.
Ethiopia's decision to construct the dam challenges a colonial-era agreement that had given downstream Egypt and Sudan rights to the Nile water, with Egypt taking 55.5 billion cubic meters and Sudan 18.5 billion cubic meters of 84 billion cubic meters, with 10 billion lost to evaporation. That agreement, first signed in 1929, took no account of the eight other nations along the 6,700-kilometer (4,160-mile) river and its basin, which have been agitating for a decade for a more equitable accord.
And Ethiopia's unilateral action seems to ignore the 10-nation Nile Basin Initiative to promote cooperation.
Ethiopia is leading six nations threatening to sign a new cooperation agreement without Egypt and Sudan, effectively taking control from Egypt of the Nile, which serves some 238 million people.
Ethiopia says it is funding the massive project on its own, urging citizens to buy bonds that earn 5 or 6 percent interest. Norway's Development Today magazine quoted Kjetil Tronvoll of Oslo's International Law and Policy Institute as saying that government employees are being pressed to donate one month's salary to the dam and, when people protested, they were arrested.
A journalist who wrote an article criticizing the fundraising methods, Reeyot Alemu, was arrested, tried for terrorism and sentenced to two years' jail, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Ethiopian authorities have detained another reporter for covering evictions near the construction of a massive hydroelectric, the CPJ said Thursday.

When football coach Keith Croft was preparing to give a speech about Ryan Brannigan at Bishop Hendricken's athletic banquet, he didn't have to think too hard about the theme. It was an easy choice.
"The word that comes to mind when I think of Ryan is winning," Croft said.
And with good reason.
Brannigan graduated from Hendricken this year with a pretty full trophy case. He won two football state championships, two track state championships and four individual race titles at state track meets. Throw in a Division I Super Bowl MVP award, and you've got one of the most decorated athletes to come through Hendricken in years.
It was a dream career.
"I'll definitely remember the two football state championships, track All-States, track championships," Brannigan said. "It was a lot of fun."
When Brannigan arrived at Hendricken four years ago, he immediately impressed Croft and his coaches while playing for the freshman team. No matter where he was on the field, his speed and athleticism stood out.
That combination made him a natural fit for track, and he ran with his potential in that sport. As a junior, he was on the first-place winning 4x400 relay team at indoor track states, a finish that helped the Hawks win the team title. He ran the same relay at outdoor states, taking first again.
This winter, Brannigan was a key part of two more winning relays at indoor states. The Hawks won both the 4x400 and 4x200.
For a lot of athletes, that's a pretty good high school career in itself, but the track wasn't even where Brannigan made his biggest mark.
On the football field, he shined.
"He was phenomenal," Croft said. "He played in three straight Super Bowls, won the last two, and just willed us to victory in arguably the greatest upset in Rhode Island football history."
Brannigan was a contributor as a sophomore when the Hawks lost to Barrington in the Super Bowl. The next year, Brannigan was a junior standout on a senior-laden squad that broke Hendricken's 13-year title drought. Brannigan, who had played mostly receiver, switched to running back when Ethan Ferreira got hurt late in the year, and he ended up scoring the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.
That, too, would have been enough for a great high-school career, but for Brannigan, there was an encore.
As a senior this past season, he moved to quarterback and captained an inexperienced squad to a monumental upset of La Salle in the Super Bowl.
"It was pretty awesome," Brannigan said. "Winning my junior year, I thought that was the best. But coming back, I always wanted to go out on top. To be able to do it against La Salle, our rivals, I couldn't think of anything better, especially with us being counted out."
The Rams were 8-0 and heavily favored. They had blown out the Hawks in a regular-season meeting.
But that was early, when the Hawks were still finding their way. And, when Brannigan was still finding his way.
"He brought a calming presence, and he was a leader," Croft said. "Even though he'd tell you he wasn't where he wanted to be statistically – and maybe wasn't where we wanted him to be – as the season wore on, he got better and better and more confident. I think his two best games of the season were our two playoff games. They may not have been his best games statistically, but just the way he managed the team and carried himself."
After a semifinal win over South Kingstown, the Hawks squared off against the Rams and Brannigan did his best to power the upset. He scored a first-quarter touchdown and led a drive that culminated in a field goal and a 10-0 lead.
The Rams came back and seemed to be in control when they went in front 14-10. But with four minutes remaining, the Hawks started an eight-play 62-yard drive and finished it when Brannigan found Laionel Cintron in the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown.
Brannigan had completed four of five passes on the clutch drive. For good measure, he broke up a pass on La Salle's last possession, and the Hawks went on to the upset.
Six months later, the memory is still fresh.
"There's always talk about it," Brannigan said. "There are always pictures, and people want to talk about the catch."
Brannigan ended up earning All-State honors for the second year in a row.
"To be honest, we had some questions about putting him at quarterback, just because he had been such a successful player at wide receiver and running back and defensive back," Croft said. "At quarterback he might be losing touches, so there were concerns. But he answered all of them."
Brannigan's next step will be a college career. He's set to play football at Division III Endicott College in the fall, a program that went 10-1 last year.
Brannigan may just keep winning.
"I think it's a great fit for him," Croft said. "I think his story is a story a lot of kids in Rhode Island need to listen to. He had a chance to maybe go I-AA or Division II. He just made a decision that he wanted to play right away and play against kids who are at his level skill-wise. I think it's a great move, and I think he's going to have a great career there."

The following post is from the Deal Seeking Mom Project Administrator, Mandi Ehman:
Two weeks ago, I told you how I was using the Palm Pre Plus to get organized.
When I first started reviewing the Palm Pre Plus, I wasn't sure I would keep it once the review was done since there is an additional monthly fee compared to a regular cell phone. However, so many of the features — browsing the internet, accessing my Google contacts & calendars and scheduling our DVR to record a show even when we're not home — have made everyday tasks more convenient, and while it's certainly not a necessity, it's a splurge that we think is worth the cost.
I've found myself using these features the most:
:: Camera. I've taken a ton of pictures with my phone, and I think my mom appreciates the chance to see more everyday moments with our baby girl — cuddling with momma while I work, her first time in the exersaucer, her first taste of banana, and so on. And the best part is most of these pictures are great quality, so I don't feel guilty about not pulling out my nicer camera!
:: Internet browsing. Even though we live in the boonies and don't get a strong enough cell signal to browse the internet at home, my husband has been enabling the WiFi feature to be able to keep tabs on the NFL Scouting Combine and the start of free agency.
:: Calendars & schedules. Last week we unveiled the Deal Seeking Mom calendar to help you keep track of when deals and roundups are posted. I've added these calendars to the personal and business calendars I already have synced with my phone so that I can quickly access my entire schedule wherever I am.
:: Music. I mentioned on Twitter that I've never had an MP3 before, and it's true. Two of my girls have MP3 players and my husband has one, but I've never had one or even used theirs. However, I do love music, and I always have a music station playing on the TV or my computer. But with the Pandora app, I'm able to listen to the music I want to listen to right from my phone. And unlike an MP3player, I don't even need speakers!
Verizon Wireless wants to hear from you too! Enter for a chance to win a $50 Visa gift card just for answering any of the following questions or responding to someone else's comment. Enter as many times as you'd like as long as all of your comments are relevant to the conversation:
- Which feature of the Palm Pre Plus most appeals to you?
- How would you use it to get or stay organized?
- How do you use technology for streamlining and organizing your life?
The giveaway will be open until Wednesday, 3/10 at 4 p.m. EST and is open to all U.S. residents 18 years or older. I'll use Random.org to select the winning comment. Winners will be notified by email and listed on my Giveaway Winners page. Winners must respond within 48 hours of notification to claim their prize. Good luck!
Verizon provided me with a Palm Pre Plus at no charge so that I could review its features for the Deal Seeking Mom readers.

Welcome to Camp Gideon
Nestled in the rolling meadows and the deep woods rich in maple, oak and birch trees of the Ohio Valley, the world appears as God created it - full of simplicity and beauty. Here in Ohio, away from the continual intrusions and distractions of modern life one can find the 188 tranquil acres of Camp Gideon. Although Camp Gideon rests in the country - where cattle graze on nearby hills and fields of wheat wave in the summer breeze - the year round facilities provide full conveniences for up to 100 people, including climate controlled lodges and dining facilities. Outside are found numerous hiking paths, sports fields, a ropes course and initiative games, and Canyon Lake.
Committed to making it easy to forget daily cares and reflect on God's wonder and glory, Camp Gideon offers a ideal place for retreats, leadership conferences, family renewal weekends, and mother/daughter and father/son getaways. God's created world provides many unique opportunities to deepen relationships and one's Christian walk through prayer, Bible study and other spiritual disciplines. Camp Gideon also hosts and runs a summer camp ministry, working with campers from Kintergarden to 9th grade during a variety of grade-specific, week-long camps throughout the season.
Each season brings its own special beauty and wonder at God's remarkable creation... and activities to suit. During the summer months Gideon comes alive with children enjoying a unique Christian camping experience. Canoeing, fishing, nature crafts, water slide, hiking, archery, ropes course, games, skits, and songs are all a part of Camp Gideon Summer Camp ministries.
From hiking trails and rustic camping to the contemporary Canyon Lodge and complete dining services, from serene winter hikes to active summer sports camps, Camp Gideon is a rare setting for fellowship, worship, and experiencing God. Yet Camp Gideon remains within a two-hour drive from such major cities as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Columbus.

I've moved to www.wildethymeknits.blogspot.com
Now I don't usually profess to be much of a techie, but in recent days I've been confronted by some serious work on the computer front. Right now, I am feeling hugely proud of myself, because despite the fact that I've had the house to get shipshape after three months of kids at home, food to cook, soccer games to attend and knitting to see to, I have achieved the impossible!
I have exported my blog to another address.
It's a long story actually. About a year ago, not long after I started writing Wilde Thyme Knits, I had a major catastrophe......I accidently DELETED my blog! I know....pretty dumb really, but what can I say? It takes just one slip of the finger and life can never be the same again.
I wrote to Blogger....... I wrote to Blogger again.....I joined the throngs of people begging Blogger to PLEASE retrieve their beloved blogs.
Nothing. Not even a "Tweet" to say they'd received my pleading missive (and let's face it, they have intimate connections with Twitter, so a small microblog would not have been too much to ask.) Still nothing. I resigned myself to starting again with another url and have been saddled with a "TER" on the end of "KNIT" ever since. I've checked back with Blogger periodically over the past year, just in case I could get them to acknowledge my existence, but again nothing.
During a recent sojourn into Blogland, I made the discovery that Blogger was permitting access to old addresses again. Aside from the fact that by now I'd forgotten which e-mail ID and password I'd used to set up my original account, what I did discover was that I could now create a new blog attached to my old Expat blog account using my original url http://www.wildethymeknits.blogspot.com/
My life was complete.
This weekend I bravely created the new blog, exported the old to my desktop and then imported it from there to the new site. Can you believe it? I was holding my breath, I can tell you. A year's worth of work was on the line after all. But I did it! The only problem was that none of the features transferred with the posts, so I've spent several hours rebuilding parts of the site. This has also given me the opportunity for a bit of a face lift, so I've changed to a new template too.
My new found techie abilities saw me multi tasking on the way home from walking The Little Guy to school this morning too. As my text inbox on my cell phone was so full that it couldn't take any more messages, I decided to delete during the ten minute stroll back up the hill. I walked and deleted, crossed roads and deleted, all the while making this "ding dong" noise as each one of the 90 texts got erased from my inbox. (Talk about cleaning up! I've gone into over drive.) The final text was deleted just as I reached my front door.
So I've cleaned up, sorted out and am settling into a new blogging home now. Please come over and join me. Leave a comment to let me know you've arrived or join my Google followers. The kettle's on, the welcome's warm, I'd love to see you.

This post doesn't directly relate to genealogy, but I think it does speak to the wider attitude that I've experienced throughout the genealogical community.
This afternoon I was on my way home for lunch and decided to stop at one of my favorite (tastes great, but probably isn't the best for my waist) restaurants. I was in the drive-thru line and when I got to the window to pay, I was informed that the lady (whom I did not know) in the car ahead of me had actually paid for my lunch! She left a card which didn't give her name, but rather a note to "pay it forward."
Wow! How cool was that? This small act gave me a renewed spirit for the rest of the day! As I reflected on it this evening, I realized that this sort of random act does seem to happen all the time in the genealogical community. I can't wait until I have a chance to pay this act, feeling, and excitement forward!

Gluten-Free Diet
The Basics
Gluten is wheat gum, the insoluble component of grains (such as wheat, barley, and rye). It is a mixture of gliadin, glutenin, and other proteins. Gluten causes allergy-like reactions in certain people. While a gluten-free diet is the primary therapeutic treatment for celiac disease, this diet may also help a host of other conditions, including dermatitis herpetiformis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV enteropathy, and schizophrenia.
- Check carefully—Learn the many names that gluten can be found under and read labels carefully to ensure you are buying products that are truly gluten-free.
- Be thorough—In order to eliminate symptoms altogether you have to get rid of all sources of gluten, not just in your food. For those with celiac disease this is a diet that must be followed for the rest of your life.
- Get support—It can be a long and difficult process to convert to a gluten-free diet. Enlist the help of trained health professionals and support groups with local chapters like the Celiac Sprue Association and the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America.
Go gluten-free: Choose grains like buckwheat, amaranth, rice, corn, and quinoa, and starches like potato, soy, and tapioca as substitutes for gluten-containing products

James Gayle doesn't remember the exact moment it happened, but sometime in March, everything Virginia Tech assistant coach Cornell Brown was telling him about what to look for in film study started to click.
Now, as Tech continues its spring practice sessions, Gayle is putting all of Brown's advice to good use. Before Brown's arrival in late February, it's not a stretch to say Gayle got about as much out of film analysis as he did out of Saturday morning cartoons — very little.
"I've never had someone sit down with me and actually just tell me what to look at in film and how to be a better overall player," said Gayle, a 6-foot-4, 255-pound rising sophomore defensive end who graduated from Bethel High.
"I didn't really know what to look for. Things like where the offensive tackle is looking — if he's looking at me, he's going to (engage) me. If he's looking at a linebacker, (the tackle) is going to do something different. So many things I didn't see before."
An added bonus for Gayle is that watching film with Brown means Gayle gets to watch film of Brown from time-to-time. Brown, who is Tech's new outside linebackers and assistant defensive line coach, was one of the greatest defensive players in Hokie history and earned All-America honors in 1995 and '96 as a defensive end.
In addition to Brown, Gayle has studied film of former productive Tech ends like Darryl Tapp, fellow Bethel alum Chris Ellis, Corey Moore and John Engelberger. It's part of a desire to improve, which Gayle said he assumed shortly after Tech's 40-12 loss to Stanford in the Orange Bowl.
He set his sights on getting up to 265 pounds by the end of the summer. He also wanted to assemble the proper tools in terms of knowledge of the position, strength and speed to amass at least 10 sacks next season. Last season, he played in all 14 games — starting two — and finished with four sacks.
When he found out Tech's coaches planned to move Chris Drager back to tight end from the defensive end position he'd manned for the last two years, Gayle realized opportunity was staring him in the face.
Gayle started his preparation in February by posting some astonishing weight room numbers, including a 366-pound power clean (new Tech record for defensive ends — previously held by Phoebus High alum Nathaniel Adibi) and a bench press of 420 pounds, which tied for third-best among Gayle's current teammates.
"I think this is a very important time for me going into the season," Gayle said. "I knew after they moved Drager that I was the definite starter. If it hadn't been for that, I'd have probably had to battle it out with (Tech defensive end) J.R. (Collins)."
Brown believes there's some hyperbole involved in Gayle's assessment of what Brown has meant to his development. Brown thinks of himself more as a guy that has come along at the perfect time, right as Gayle has started to morph into a more complete player.
"I don't think it's really me," Brown said. "I think it's more him, and just the evolution of a player. He was a guy that wanted to get on the field and contribute basically in any factor last year. Now, after getting on the field and having that success, that's a big factor in wanting to improve and be the player he showed last year that he can be."
As it stands, Gayle and Collins are projected to be Tech's starters at the end spots when it opens the season Sept. 3 against Appalachian State in Blacksburg. Earning the starting job is fine, but Gayle has greater ambitions.
"I don't feel like there's any pressure on me," Gayle said. "I'm looking forward to it more than I feel like I'm under any pressure. To be honest, I want more than 10 sacks. I feel like that's the minimum I should get. I'm trying to be modest."

"Little Surprises" highlight May, 2005
photo Exhibit by Jeanette Bronson
minutes to sunrise,
Two frames left.
One camera.
Noticing a napping moth in the desert marigold... priceless.
Always looking for "the little surprises," Jeanette Bronson is
rarely without her camera and continually finds new ways to capture subjects
such as flowers, footprints, or waterfalls in her lens. Most of her photography
now is digital, but the Globe artist still enjoys returning to her original
35mm Minolta on occasion. During the month of May Jeanette's work was featured
in our visitor center gallery.
"I've really enjoyed my digital camera, but after almost 30 years of usingthe Minolta sometimes I just want to hear the solid click of the shutter." Creative endeavors have always been encouraged in this native Arizonan's family. Beginning at a young age she was exposed to a wide variety of art forms, including drawing, painting, music and sculpture. She has continued this tradition by similarly encouraging her own children and by teaching digital photography classes for kids and adults at Globe's Gila-Pueblo Community College.
"When I first began taking photos many of them were for inspiration and research for my paintings. As I improve on my photography skills I find that I just want to frame and share them as they are." Much of Bronson's self-taught photography focuses on contrast. From a close-up view of ice on flower petals, to water drops clinging to a spider's web, to a burrowing owl's brilliant green eyes, she brings striking detail to the fore. Bronson is a member of the Cobre Valley Fine Arts Guild in Globe, with framed artwork available at the Cobre Valley Center of the Arts and during her exhibition here at the Boyce Thompson. To contact the artist, write to P.O. Box 2434,
Globe, Arizona 85502 or call 928.425.9253. She can also be reached
via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Our exhibit remained on display in the visitor center gallery through June 3. BTA has a new Summer schedule which began May 1, and works may be seen daily during regular business hours from 6a.m. until 3 p.m. The Arboretum is an Arizona State Park and daily admission must be paid to enter the visitor center and gallery, even just to view our monthly gallery exhibit. Arboretum non-members pay daily admission of $7.50 for adults and $3 for ages 5-12. Visitors are invited to meet the artist at her reception Sunday, May 15, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Next month's gallery show at BTA will feature a wide range of works by members of the Mesa Arts League.

VANCOUVER – America's favorite mutant has made a more than welcomed appearance up north!
Norman Rothstein Theatre opened its doors to Bat Boy: The Musical this past Friday. The audience was more than pleased and laughter could be heard from start to finish. Directed by Peter Jorgensen for Patrick Street Productions, the play mixes great acting with a touch of brilliant cynicism, intelligence mixed with blood, and delivers a mix of Hair and a Beastie Boys concert.
"As far as musicals go, it's been the role of a lifetime," said Scott Perrie, who plays the lead role of Bat Boy. "It allowed me to get in touch with my inner beast."

We offer complete, end-to-end solutions for all kinds of hair care products, including shampoo, stylish agents, conditioners, hair colouring, salon haircare, 3-in-1 products, hair relaxants and baby haircare products. Whether you're looking to increase recipe accuracy, speed up production, reduce energy consumption, or drive down the total overall cost of your operations, you'll find what you need in our portfolio.
Shampoo accounts for the largest share of haircare products and is also the fastest growing category. You can take full advantage of this with Tetra Pak's efficient solutions for volume production. Featuring our patented CoDE3 system, our shampoo, hair-colourant and conditioning lines are characterized by their low energy consumption and high speed. They can create an emulsion with cold water, which speed up production time significantly. And since there is no need to heat the water, you save energy too.
In any mixing operation, the level of agitation in the vessel must be sufficient to mix the product thoroughly, regardless of its viscosity. To take care of every need, we offer systems with a super-efficient high shear mixer at the bottom and impellers and scrapers at the top. For the production of non-viscous products, a simple agitation system may suffice. For more viscous products, we recommend contra-rotating agitators. Rotating the impellers and scrapers in opposite directions, this keeps even the stickiest product moving around the tank, thereby ensuring effective heat transfer and a perfectly mixed product.
A Tetra Pak automatic cleaning system (CIP) automatically optimizes the cleaning cycle of your haircare production line according to which type of product was last run. By varying the pressure and temperature of the water, the use of detergents and the length of cleaning time, it prevents wasting precious resources.

text: After numerous google searches there seems to be a major shortage of information on setting up these two products on Windows 8 and the latest Visual Studio. So far I've tried creating a folder and linking all of my projects properties to the folder (library folders are set in "Additional Library Directories", dlls are in both system32 and in private folders that have been added to the path environment variable, and headers are in folders that have been set to the "Additional Include Directories"). All of this was included in the generic and old faq/install files that come with these two products so as far as I know I am doing everything right. In general I can get the freeglut functions to build however glew is throwing linker errors about not being able to find the dll (the include preprocessor definition was fine). If I take out the glew function calls and just test freeglut I get another exception saying that the dll was not found (however the project apparently builds just fine). Has anyone been able to successfully get the GLEW and FreeGlut libraries working on the Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013? I've tried several different sets of instructions and can't seem to get past this point. I've also had no luck asking in public stack exchanges dedicated to these kinds of tools. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
